@Khadeejah.i.am

_iamkhadeejah_

𝐐𝐮𝐫'𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦. 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐦𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐢𝐭.

"Mom, please entrust me to a Qur'an teacher," says me, a 9-year old orphan girl.

Little did I know the 𝐐𝐮𝐫'𝐚𝐧 is my weapon in life.

The whole Qur'an is a treasure. But my limited mind finds comfort in the following verses.

"𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐲, 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡 𝐝𝐨 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭." Qur'an 13:28

Remembering this ☝️verse is my medicine when my heart and mind are anxious.

"...𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮; 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐬 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐛𝐚𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐬, 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐧𝐨𝐭." Qur'an 2:216

☝️That verse make me easily accept that I am limited in knowing what is best or harmful for me, and therefore whenever my desire doesn't get filled, I trust that Allah knows best.

Meanwhile, 👇 this verse keep me grounded.

"𝐀𝐧𝐝 [𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫] 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐝, '𝐈𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐥, 𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 [𝐢𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫]; 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐲, 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐞𝐝, 𝐌𝐲 𝐩𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐞.'"
Qur'an 14:7

This question 👉 "𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐲?" in Surah Ar-Rahman was asked 31 times, makes me reflect and examine the abundance in my life that I'm blessed with alhamdulillah.

Reflecting upon the meaning of the Qur'an is the key to being prepared at whatever life throws at you. It is the shield of your peace. It is the comfort of your heart, the healing of your soul. The light of your life.

Qur'an is beyond a source of calmness, if accepted as the manual of life, in shaa Allah.

Check out these moms' post about the Qur'an.

Kids can teach us great life lessons. One of these is seeking help when needed.

This boy didn't go up the tree by himself. He asked for help to climb up there. There was no branch low enough for him to step on, yet he didn't just give up and walk away. He looked for a solution by asking help. He knows I can help him, coz I have enough strength to push him up the tree. And when he got up there, look at that smile. He's overjoyed.

Isn't it amazing how he just showed us that if we want something, we should not give up instead let's find ways.

So if you are someone struggling, I encourage you to seek assistance from those who can help you.

Friends, there's no shame in seeking or accepting help. There's nothing wrong in delegating your tasks. There's nothing wrong in unloading some of your responsibilities. There's nothing wrong in taking a break.

Meanwhile, as a business owner I know the struggle. So if you are a business struggling to show up on Instagram, let me help you. DM me for a free consultation. Or share this post with someone who needs help. Thank you.

𝐈 𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐭𝐨 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.

Alhamdulillah, as a mother we are blessed with a strong instinct when it comes to our children. We are able to assess and tell which fall (or other experience) can we allow or not. The fall that I am referring here are the safe falls, the ones that won't endanger them.

I don't rush to my children right away when they fall because I give them time to pull themselves up. Often, they don't mind what happened until they see us. I'm not sure what it is.

I believe through falling experiences the children learn better on how to be cautious next time or in their lifetime.

Their falling experience will tell them that falling, though it hurts, it is okay. Next time they will be able to gauge the pain they can tolerate, the challenges they are ready to take.

They will also develop balance and coordination and strength improving their gross motor skills.

It also teaches them independence, knowing that I or the people they rely upon are not there all the time. Therefore, they need to be careful.

I want them to learn that it's okay to fall. In life, it is okay to fall but what matters is that we stand back up again with or without help.

I'm glad I didn't give in to my youngest who said: "Mommy, me come. Me come with you," as I was walking out the door. My heart melt, but I pushed myself and told him he cannot come.

Can you relate to that? Oh well, I shrugged it off, kissed him and left.

I spent the weekend with my friend. Besides the news of US elections, we just enjoyed our foods, chitchat and catching up, we went swimming at the pool and dressed up.

We were both off line. It felt good. It was really good.

I learned from this child-free staycation that:

▪️Mom you never truly know that you need a break until you're in it;
▪️Your children are in good hands;
▪️ It's okay to do what makes you happy;
▪️It will be good for you to connect with your friends, and just be yourself.

I came back home happier. My dopamine tank was full. I am again ready to tackle motherhood and everything else at one hundred percent, alhamdulillah.

I will start planning my next staycation, in shaa Allah, haha! Wanna plan with me?

I co-existed with fear and often times I found there was no reason for me to have those fears.

Fear is triggered by a perceived threat. Often, we create these threats, especially when getting into a new venture. You feel threatened by the thought of
"failing," "not having what it takes" "be put in a compromising situation" and the list goes on.

These thoughts are valid, but overthinking them will become the anchor that holds you down.

I discovered that instead of submitting into these fears, taking them with me is better, it propels me to do the best and the fear will eventually fades.

It is uncomfortable, but it gets better.

I'm excited!

It's Friday and with all the blessings it brings, #alhamdulillah, I am happy it's the end of the week. I am excited for a staycation with a friend this weekend.

Child-less weekend. Isn't that exciting?!

As a mom, when was the last time you had a time away from the little ones?

Anyway, what are your plans this weekend?

Are you aware of Tabula Rasa.

A clean slate. That is the mental state or state of being of a newborn. This concept has been stuck in me before I even became a mother.

When my first born @_haya.ayah_ was born, this tabula rasa concept was my guiding light or maybe warning light. Knowing that my child's being is blank had made me conscious of what to put in it.

I did my best to put only the great and best things on her "blank slate", I hope I did. I felt the weight of responsibility in raising a child knowing that concept.

In addition to that, in Islam children are a trust from Allah (subhanahu wa taala). As a parent there's huge responsibility put on our shoulders in nurturing our children to become among the good servants of God and beneficial part of the society.

Do you have any special concept you grew up with and are now holding onto?

"I was to invite you out for breakfast," says my husband this morning.

"Sure," I said.

And funnily, in my head it was "oh it's a date!"

Oh btw did you know that the # date, dating are among the banned hashtags for 2020? Would you be surprised to know that loseweight is on the list? How about single? Surprising right? @theigcoach and I felt the same.

Do you know the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)?

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), is the best of mankind with the best of characters and a mercy to the worlds.

“but a mercy to the worlds” [al-Anbiyâ’ (21): 107],

and “upon an exalted [standard] of character” [al-Qalam (68): 4].

This is how the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) is described by Allah (God) in the Qur'an, and this is what Muslims believe about him based on the narratives we have.

Meanwhile In 1978, Dr. Michael H. Hart, author of the book "The 100" named Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as No. 1 Influential Person in human history. It's not surprising for people who know him.

This acknowledgement reaffirms our belief in the Prophet's (pbuh) exceptional personality and character.

To know more of Him (PBUH) check out today's post of: @knowledgedunes @adeebajafri_official @sunnah_hearts @homemakers_guide @ilmaeducation @level10muslimah.life.coaching @irambintsafia_spark_inspire @radiance_of_delight @umm.afraz @fromdressestodiapers @jeddahmom @raisingyoungscholars @alizehmysoul

Hello November.

In as much as we chase our goals, it's okay too to slow down and reflect to be thankful of what we already have.

#Alhamdulillah for reaching this new month, and I am approaching it with hope and positivity. A new day always brings new opportunities to do good, to do better and aim for the best in every aspect of our lives.

I'm looking forward to this month, feeling great with my new eyeglasses' lenses from @einsteinsoptical my family's go-to place for our optical needs. Check them out if you're looking for a great deal and impressive service.

What are you excited for this month?

Life happens, and for the past few months I was not showing up to my audience on here as I should.

Due to that I was watching my followers leave. I don't blame them, because when you are absent it is as if your door is closed, and not everyone will wait for the reopening.

So from that experience, I learned that to avoid "followers' decline" you must:

▪️ Maintain presence with your followers
▪️Consistently bring value to them, and
▪️ Continuously engage with them thru their post, IG stories and reels.

By doing these you stay beneficial and worthy to occupy their numbers.

What's your effective way to keep your followers?

IT will happen, if it's written.

Do you agree?

This is a saying that I've lived by since childhood.

Backed by the hadith, that the Prophet ﷺ said:

‘The reality of faith is knowing that what has passed you by was not going to befall you; and that what has befallen you was not going to pass you by.’ (Tabarani)

Belief in destiny is liberating in a sense, that all you do is accept the gift of life along with its challenges.

This concept helped me accept what I missed in life with grace and grateful for all the things that came my way - the good and the bad.

Adhering to this belief shields me from dissatisfaction, alhamdulillah.

Your money is your money.

I teach this concept to #Muslim sisters, as it is a woman's right in Islam -- that often overlooked.

Islam empowered women this way, that any income they make or inheritance they have is theirs and no one has any right over it.

As a married woman, it is also not a conjugal property, therefore my husband has no right to it, except when I allow him. He cannot demand for it too.

In addition, although I have my own money, my husband is still responsible for providing for me in ways that I need - as if I have no money.

Did you know this right of women in Islam?

You can prepare, study and take courses and all these won't matter if you don't take the step to put them into action to get closer to your dreams.

You are enough. Go ahead and pave the way to your dreams. You are ready.

I remember when I first made my discovery call to my first client, I was so nervous, I thought she wouldn't take my service because I am new.

To my surprise, she called me back and got on board #alhamdulillah.

So just do it!

Like the baby's first steps, it might be wobbly but eventually you'll find the balance and see yourself running.

Your dreams and aspirations will remain as such, far and unreachable unless you take action no matter how uncomfortable it is.

For those who took the first step to their dream, how did you conquer it? Inspire others, comment below👇

You were ready to give up, then someone taps you on your shoulders, asking how are you? Or you got that text message encouraging you to go on or an email simply expressing concern for your well-being.

In 2018, when my youngest son was only 3 weeks old, I was ready to give up my graduate studies from @royalroadsu until my program head, Jaigris Hodson, messaged me (swipe to read her email).

This email comforted me into opening up to her and I admitted that indeed I needed help. I didn't hold back, I allowed myself to be vulnerable but in return I got the support I needed to finish my graduate studies.

In the advent of online learning or working from home, this is the kind of teachers, leaders and employers that we need. Someone who is not just waiting for us to deliver results but shows concerns and offers support and kindness.

I will always be thankful to Jaigris and all the instructors who were supportive and understanding during my academic journey. It fills my heart thinking of them.

Please #spreadkindness, you don't know your simple gesture could better someone's mood, day or even their life.

♥ How do you go with the flow?

☀️Live in the moment.

Shake the worries of yesterday that already past. You cannot turn the time back. It happened for a reason, look at the positive part of it. It's there, dig deeper.

Ignore the fear of tomorrow that is not guaranteed to come. By focusing on the negative that tomorrow will bring, you are stealing yourself and your loved ones of the present.

Live in the moment. Trust God, that everything will fall into its right place. Time flies so fast, that missing out on the present is a loss you cannot take back.

What moment are you enjoying right now? ♥

I love being outdoors, especially with nature it makes me happy and I would like my kids to love it too and appreciate nature's beauty as well. To instill this in them, I take my children outdoors as much as I can.

Do you know the benefits of outdoors for children?

The benefits of outdoors for children are countless, among these are:

▪️Plenty of vitamin D through sunshine, which helps boost their immune system.
▪️They are exercising, and we know the benefits of it. Either it's just a walk in the park or kicking a ball at the field, or racing with siblings it is still a good exercise.
▪️It gives them freedom to play without structure. They are just being kids, directing and deciding how to play without being told.
▪️It allows them to think on their own, resolve a situation, plan and be creative.
▪️ It's an opportunity to make friends, or get rejected. The latter is an important experience, because the reality of life is such, you don't get everything you want and you have to learn to deal with rejection or failure. We don't 100% succeed in everything we do or aim in life.
▪️ The chance to take risk. As a parent watching my children take risky actions makes me nervous. However, I prepare myself for them to possibly getting hurt, scraped or wounded, whatever the result it is a great learning experience for them. I want them to discover what they can do and should not do or how to be careful next time. Keeping them in a bubble is riskier.
▪️A break from screen, or detox from technology.

I also see my children happier at the end of the day. Today, they got to hold a fish alive, see a snake up close and discovered a real mud clay.

What do you benefit from the outdoors?

Kids consent.

Do you practice this? This is posted with his consent.

I was made conscious of this seriously today when my 5-year old son requested not to share his "private stuff."

I was talking on the phone with a friend, catching up. I mentioned to her about Abdullah (who was with me), he's doing good with homeschooling, behavior improving (he's put me in a challenging period) and etc.

While I'm on the phone, Abdullah says: Excuse me, mommy. Those are my private stuff. Would you please not talk to others about my private stuff (and those private stuff I mentioned were good stuff and so I thought there was nothing wrong with it).

In my head, this is a 5-year old kid, and he feels this way, violated of his privacy.

So next time you talk about your kid or others, remember to ask yourself if "are you violating their privacy?"

For Muslims, are you backbiting or slandering others?

May Allah subhanahu wa taala protect you Abdullah and always bless you with beneficial knowledge and wisdom, Ameen.

When May was ending, I promised myself that in June I will work on getting more Social Media Management clients.

June ended without me achieving that goal. Then I told myself in July I will work on creating more content for my blog and be consistent with my social media presence, after all it is my birth month and it should be a good opportunity to be back and present again.

Then here comes August and none of those goals that I've set was achieved. Was I upset? Ah I only have myself to be blamed, but do I blame myself? NO!

Why? Because yes I failed in achieving those goals, however, I didn't just sit down and wasted my time away. Despite failing to achieve those "career goals" I have succeeded in losing some weight, maintained health habits, spent lots of time with my children outdoor, raising happy kids and I am happy with all the things I've done.

I am focusing more on celebrating my achievements than my failure. I am focusing on being grateful with what I have, with what I am blessed with than what I don't have.

Don't dwell on your failed attempts. Try shifting your mindset to being grateful and you will always feel like a 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗡𝗘𝗥.
