Book Club

Shakespeare's classic "Romeo and Juliet." We know what was originally said about the novel and it has changed in perception through the 90's. I do not deny Romeo is not what a good hijaabi girl is looking for. He really was like 'lightning' as Juliet describes their love. At the same time, Dr. John Green, who has written the book 'The Fault in Our Stars' does make a strong argument that their destiny played a huge part in their ending as well. In the end, it is just a novel. Had it happened in real life, it would warrant more of our attention. But we can say 'aspects of our romance' can relate to it. God knows best.

Book lovers will understand the excitement of seeing someone else reading the same book you're reading.

🌙 She Never Gave Up

There was once a girl who smiled even when her heart was tired. People saw her smile and thought everything was perfect, but they never knew how many nights she spent asking herself, “When will life finally get better?”

She had dreams. Big dreams. But sometimes life made her feel like she was moving too slowly. She watched other people succeed while she was still trying to find her own way.

One day, she looked at herself in the mirror and said:

“Maybe I’m not where I want to be yet, but I’m not where I used to be either.” 🤍

From that day, she stopped comparing her journey to everyone else’s. She started believing in herself again. She worked quietly, prayed, learned from her mistakes, and kept moving forward.

Years later, she realized something beautiful:

She didn’t need to become someone else to have a beautiful life. She only needed to keep becoming the best version of herself. ✨

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh 🤍

I pray everyone who’s stayed here, and everyone new to the app, has been doing well and taking care of their mental health. 🤲🏽 Our minds need care too, even when we think we’re strong enough to handle everything. While I’ve been away, I started thinking about how much time I was wasting scrolling Jamaa and TikTok truly, brainrot 😭. So I decided to do what I know best READ 📚

I challenged myself to read or finish a book a day, even if it’s only for a few minutes whenever I have downtime. And honestly, it’s made a bigger difference than I expected not just in my mindset, but in my screen time too. Sometimes we just need to replace what drains us with something that nourishes us.

May Allah bless us with beneficial knowledge, protect our minds and hearts, and make reading and learning a source of goodness for us. Ameen. 🤲🏽

Join me for my next book Appetite For Innocence by Lucinda Berry or you can simply look forward to my rave review. 😉📖

I’m in love with this sentence:

“After getting what you manifested, ask for discipline to keep it and wisdom to multiply it.”

What’s a childhood memory that makes you smile?

People who introduce you to new books and authors are precious

Imagine coming home one day and finding out he built you a secret little library because he remembered you once said you wanted one....🫠

A man who gifts a book is saying:
"I care about your mind, your dreams, and the person you're becoming."
