Gift Ideas

Good morning!

So, as usual I wake up early (considering I'm on holiday break). I can't stand my air conditioner because it's really cold (mind you I've complained before about how hot it was before it was fixed, it's definitely bipolar and like they say "be careful what you wish for") therefore I looked for other places to hang out for a little bit after doing morning laundry. I tried staying in the living room, it was yet a bit too warm for me. Now my body being heated up, I then moved myself back into my icy room just to cool off. After I couldn't take anymore cold air, I migrated to Lily's room. She's very neat and tidy and her desk isn't covered with junk (lucky me) !

Just as I was about to settle down, I saw a little blue book lying on my left hand side.

" TEACHER A New Method for learning The Noble Qur'an Through Pronunciation & speech Parts (30) With a Brief Explanation taken from the Pious Ancestors Al-Baghawi, Ibn Kathir, As-Sa'di & Others "

 Curious, I had a flick through. It's basically a guide on Muslim prayers which covers how to read arabic text in the Qur'an to daily practices (e.g. how to greet a Muslim and how to recite the prayers before eating). I think it's quite handy, and from my own experiences sometimes I am unsure how correct my prayers are, being accurate is important although some say that it doesn't matter if you get every word correct as long as your faith is in the correct place.

I don't know where Lily got this from or probably somebody lent or handed it to her. I would sure be very grateful to have a copy! So to my Muslim friends, I'm sure this would be a great idea to give that special someone.

" From 'Umar ibn al-Khattâb (radiyAllâhu 'anhu) who said that Allâh's Messenger (salAllâhu 'alaihi wa'sallam) said: Actions are but by intentions and there is for every person only that which he intended. So he whose migration was for Allâh and His Messenger, then his migration was for Allâh and His Messenger, and he whose migration was to attain some worldly goal or to take a woman in marriage, then his migration was for that which he migrated."
