It has been a while since I have made a post, but I wanted to do it today. Ramadan Kareem to all those who celebrate. Today begins the holy month of Ramadan and a year before, the call for prayers in Gaza were coupled with the sound of zanana. After fifteen months of genocide, the resistance has cleared out the air, has pushed the zionist occupation forces out of Gaza and I am happy that Ramadan will be celebrated without the sounds of bombing and shelling. But things are not as before; the Zionist occupation has committed an urbicide- a whole city has been destroyed. They have murdered people, they have tortured Gazans, they have orphaned thousands of children and destroyed the hopes and dreams of many. None of this can be taken back, none of this can be made right. So while the whole world celebrates Ramadan amidst lights, in Gaza Ramadan would be celebrated in rubbles of destroyed homes.
So I hope in this holy month of Ramadan, we will keep supporting the Palestinian cause; we will keep fighting for a free Palestine, we will keep following the news that comes out from both West Bank and Gaza. I hope we will keep boycotting and protesting and supporting grassroot organization . For now I would like to redirect your attention to my friend Siraj's fundraiser. Please consider supporting Siraj and his family. Nothing will be the same again, but donations will help a lot in rebuilding his life.
since we are in a new year, it means that we are also embodying a new way of living. me, for the most part, would like my life to go in a different path this year.
i love hyping myself up, thinking and analyzing what i truly deserve as a person, i have been a wonderful friend, girlfriend and daughter, i can’t settle for less. i literally don’t care about the people who call me a narcissist for putting myself on top of most of the things -which is truly important by the way-
without self love you can’t move around in life. how are you gonna convince yourself that you’re worthy of things when you can’t even agree that you deserve them? yes, of course we can manifest stuff in our lives without having a perfect mindset but also sometimes we need to fix it for ourselves and not because of our manifestations and the void only.
i’m a person who overthinks and it’s negative as hell from time to time, like some of you too. i struggle, like a lot of people do. i’m not a special human being, i was made the same way that you were made too. i love talking, i love talking my thoughts and emotions out. i love identifying with people here, i love when people tag me in their journey and manifestation path, i love my anons and their cute appreciation messages weekly, it really makes my day, and i’m also very grateful to you guys for always being there for me even though i’m not the most active person in this community but if i can’t provide a new post for you, i make sure to reblog my whole timeline so you don’t miss out as well!!
i just wanted to post this so i can come back to this whenever i feel down, to remind myself that the year just started and that everything that i want will be mine, i’m worthy of good things and so are you.
i wanna manifest everything that i couldnt last year, everything that i postponed, repay the months that i spent rotting on my bed feeling like a failure, replace my bad and negative thoughts with joyful and happier ones. being even more helpful for all of you who follow me, i might not be a super blogger but i need to assure that everything i do, i do it with intention and a pure heart.
i’m starting a new journey, the old story will end up being ashes and something new will eventually happen. cause i’ve been supporting everyone since my first day here and i love to see how all of you are growing up, especially changing your mentality and i wanna congratulate all those anons who got out of toxic relationships, toxic environments and the ones who have succeeded in their main goals and made all their wishes come true.
don’t let anything or anyone disturb you or take the focus away from your journey. we are all deserving of our desires, don’t feel guilty.
be ur own proof. form ur own beliefs. no one will convince you that loa is real, more than urself. you'll be confident and believe in loa 100% when u actually apply it to ur everyday life and persist.
i'm on break so i've been passing time on Tumblr, when did ppl on here go crazy it's like reading inside of a crazy philosopher's head y'all are on the verge of losing your mind
like learning a 4th lang
Studying for the sat ( I don't live in the us nor do i attend a fancy international school so i'm on my own ✨)
Participating in competitions ( around 4?) so i can put them in my college app
Learning to code
And a void challenge i made for myself
Working out 2× a week
Maybe learning how to cook?
~Sending prayers to my future self lols ☠️
Seven AM and I would like to collapse
I am Belal from Gaza, I am displaced in the southern Gaza Strip.
Because of the war on Gaza, our house was destroyed, I lost my job and money, and I cannot find a suitable job because of the war.🥹😔 Now I live with my wife and daughter in a small tent and I cannot meet their needs. 💔🥺
Please support me and help me keep my daughter and wife alive so we can live safely and peacefully.🙏💔
In these difficult circumstances, I hope to receive your support through the GoFundMe donation campaign. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps me and my family get through this difficult stage and cover our basic needs until we settle in a safe place. Your support means a lot to us and represents a ray of hope in this difficult journey🙏🙏

First off, giving up an old bad habit is difficult, that I know; however, it is not impossible. I've had a lot of difficulties in my life where I repeated the same habit over and over again and I thought for me I would never overcome them. But you know what changed? trying. I tried my best every day and even if I failed, I slowly accepted that I am not perfect and I am only human. That is who we are, and that is why Allah the Almighty is so merciful, because Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala himself knows we humans will slip up and fall. But listen, it's not impossible and as annoying as it is, as long as you keep trying, keep having that good intentions of becoming better and to do better; trust me those habits will be history.
Whenever we do something for the sake of our lord, everything works out, everything clicks together. These habits you have won't be vanished for one day of course, or a week, it's a process--a journey that we all need to accept. Think of it as a fitness journey, you won't get fit in one day. These things take time and after feeling so negative about myself I realized as long as you try, asking Allah for help, and doing the most you can--it is possible.
I hope these tips do help you, and everyone is different as everyone has different struggles and bad habits. These will either help you or guide you to overcome those habits in your own way. May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala make it easy for us.
I have seen a video of someone asking a scholar why do I still commit these bad deeds/habits if I am performing my five daily prayers? and the answer to this was the quality of your namaz. Do you rush into prayer, are you zoning out, are you not on time for namaz, and etc.
There is of course a lot to this but the quality of your namaz and how much time you spend with our lord does affect our hearts.
One of many ways to re-connect with our lord to become better with our daily prayers are:
Performing your prayers on time (I understand how our laziness could get in the way or how we are so into whatever we were doing before and cannot detach ourselves from this but, a quote I read and did help me at times like this was "Put your time and effort to Allah, and Allah will put his time and effort to you too.")
Recite a dua/surah after your namaz (Ayetel kursi, a repentance dua, La ilaha illallah, wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul hamdu, yuhyi wa yumitu, wa huwa ala kulli shay'in qadir, and etc.)
Perform your wudhu 15-10 minutes earlier (Let me tell you when I did this it was so effective. When you perform wudhu earlier, you are in a clear-minded state and are purified. Along with you being on time for namaz, this additionally helps you become more focused during namaz)
Perform Dhikr (Subhanallah, Alhamdullilah, Astaghfirullah, La illaha illallah, Allahu Akbar)
Learn the meaning of what you are reciting (When you learn and understand the meaning of the surah/dua's you are reciting, being focused becomes easier and the connection becomes stronger)
Create distractions for yourself to not commit those deeds/habits!
Do what you love and enjoy (Go back to those hobbies you used to enjoy! or hang out with your friends and family.)
Educate yourself (Look up interesting things; Learn something new; Watch an islamic podcast)
Get to work (If you have any outstanding work or homework, get straight to it.)
Learn a new surah (Let's say you REALLY have nothing else to do, then what better way to spend that time in something worthy--learning a surah!)
Go outside and enjoy nature!
Along with giving up those bad habits, create new good habits to incorporate in your day-to-day life!
Each day, add something in your routine--even if its small! For instance, get back to that skin care routine you were so lazy to do; or go on that walk you kept saying later to; or even folding your clothes and organizing your closet. Each time you add a good habit to do, you become distracted to those bad habits, have less time do commit them, and on the long run you are creating habits for a better difference!
With this in mind, please do not do everything at once. To prevent a negative on-going cycle, just like that book "Atomic Habits" said, that "If you can get 1% better each day for one year, you'll end up with 37 times better by the time you're done."
A habit to always include and progress even more is repentance! Recite and repeat Astaghfirullah; Ya Gaffar and Ya Gafoor; as well as the repentance surah's! Before doing anything, always say Bismillah and whether you're doing chores or scrolling on your phone, always say Astaghfirullah. This helps you be more aware of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala!
And lastly, remember you can do it!

O Allah! Controller of the hearts, direct our hearts to Your obedience.
