•7/27• #TheRamadanSeries ✍🏽 ft. #RamadanReadathon 📖 🕌 . This week the theme is ‘Prayer’ #wordprompt : use a quote/dua . I used sentences from these pages as inspiration for this piece (swipe write to read). . #bookfeatured : ‘Black Sheep’ by @naimabrobert : I remember reading this book & falling deeper in love with each passing page - the richness of diversity it includes - the realistic struggles of being a YA in the west - embracing #selflove - finding the strength to deal / come to terms with truth once presented with it. . This book may be overlooked/judged for its cover but the content it holds is a testament to why we should never judge books by its cover - especially in this day and age of always reaching for things that are only #aestheticallypleasing (which in no means is something to be ashamed of, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t adore pretty things myself! 🙈🙊- but my point is - always give #books a chance regardless of how it looks 👍🏽✨) . . . . . . #muslimshelfspace | #bookstagram | #spilledink | #writersofig | #ramadanreflections | #chasingsakina | #writingcommunity | #blackrepresentation | #muslimauthor https://www.instagram.com/p/BxKUGU8AghU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=l03105eegmj1

• 1/30 •✍🏽#TheRamadanSeries• __ Yesterday a friend of mine asked if I’d continue writing this month and in all honesty I had hoped to take some sort of a break during May — however after thinking over the idea and due to sudden recent happenings, I realised my time on this earth is running out. If I’m able to share something of benefit during this special month of #Ramadan through my writing — that may be of goodness in any shape or form to another person, I want to try my best to be as consistent as possible. I may not be able to post as regularly as April but shall try my best nonetheless 💪🏽✨ . To new challenges 🙌🏽✨ . . . [My aim in this series is to create something new each day; in hope that it may spark hope or resonate with another person so that may feel a lil less alone in their feelings [In’Sha’Allah]. I have yet to come across a #Ramadanwritingchallenge so I thought I’d try challenging myself. If you’d like to embark on this #writingjourney w/me feel free to join in by tagging me in your post ‘ @chasingsakina ‘ or using the hashtags #TheRamadanSeries - #ChasingSakina . . . . . . . #spilledink | #ramadan2019 | #moodygram | #amwriting | #writersociety | #writersofig | #writersonig | #lifeanddeath | #cardiffarchitecture | #greenaesthetic | #unedited | #shotwithaniphone | #iphonephotography | #fightingperfectionism | #leavingalegacy | #livingfeesabililah | #creativewriting | #freewriting | #tryingchange | #islamicreminders | #writingdaily | #creativemuslimwomen | #natureaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw8JUu5gimc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ad0za9qdm0xa

[24/27] #TheRamadanSeries . life is full of tricks, lies and deceit. one minute you think you’re best friends, the next minute you feel like mortal enemies or as distant & lost as strangers. but life, is also full of secrets and though they’re not always aesthetically pleasing to meet, they still have much to teach us. we are students of life. map where you’ve grown & where you struggle and see how much you’ve learnt in simply reflecting on secrets of life you once were completely unaware of ✨ — #wordprompt : #secrets . . . . #chasingsakina / #writersofig / #womenwritersofinstagram / #poetsandwriters / #life / #heartbreakquotes / #healing / #hurting / #honesty / #muslimwomenwriters / #writerscommunity / #roathpark / #cardiff / #canoneos100d / #canonphotography / #ramadanreflections / #ramadan2019 / (at Roath Park Wild Gardens) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx6XH4mAPWh/?igshid=1lso5m1j7h3gx

[22/27] #TheRamadanSeries ✍🏽 _ ‘sensory overload’ : sometimes things that normally make us happy can make us feel strange, we don’t really feel quite the same as we ‘usually’ would, some people call them ‘off days’ but i don’t know if i fully agree with that term - because it suggests we’re like switches, flicked on and off depending....on...and that’s where my mind runs into a dead end - a blank space - of nothingness - before surrendering to the not understanding and somehow suddenly emerging from another side - not always straight away - sometimes it takes hours - days - weeks - but somehow enlightened that it was all part of a process. that one had to get from a - b - c to realise things may not always feel in order when we’re experiencing it but that in the grander perfect plan of things - balance is always restored - answers are always served, in due time. sensory overload isn’t fun - it can be overwhelming and exhausting and frustratingly difficult to explain. if you think someone may be experiencing it - please be kind and patient and maybe even try to do some research on how better to understand & help the person enduring it? - #wordprompt : #wanderlust - @am.y.writes currently inspires me to try writing from different angles without even realising & i’m so grateful for her beautiful work that she shares ✨ . . . . . . #chasingsakina / #amwriting / #ramadanreflections / #ramadan2019 / #tryingchange / #embracingmotherhood / #pnd / #pna / #sensoryoverload / #muslimwomenwriters #writersofinstagram / #poetsandwriters / #womenwritersofinstagram / #moodygram / #shotwithaniphone / #mentalhealthawareness / #struggling / #selflove / #beinghonest / #spilledink (at Cardiff Castle / Castell Caerdydd) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxzU2AXgoGh/?igshid=e00d6qxwkk5c

[19&20/27] #TheRamadanSeries ✍🏽 — #wordprompt : [19: #fear / 20: #dream] __ I was inspired to write something similar to the beautiful series that @_jxffrin writes, ‘things I’ll tell my children’ : photography was inspired by the talented @j_rahman_ : & the transformation I’m currently undergoing trying to navigate #motherhood . . . Minutes before iftar at the masjid, a few days ago, our little precious articulated the words from ‘amma’ to ‘mamma’ 🙊✨ YES AS YOU CAN IMAGINE MY EYES GOT ALL WATERY! (He’s already been saying ‘dada’ & ‘baba’ for a while now Alhamdulilah so for him to call me like that out of the blue was 🤯!!!🙊!!!) . . Yesterday while lil one sat peacefully on my lap, taking in surroundings, he exclaimed excitedly, ‘dada!’ — I turned to look where his little gaze has fallen only to notice my husband walking from a distance - HE RECOGNISED HIS DAD FROM AFAR WITHOUT MY POINTING HIM OUT & CALLED HIM BY HIS NAME 😱🤯😳 I WAS STUNNED BEYOND RECOGNITION! MY BRAIN COULD NOT DIGEST! HOW?! 😲 ⁉️Allahuma Baarik Lahu 🤲🏽✨— it’s been dizzyingly eventful lately but I can’t help but be infinitely grateful for being witness to these beautiful little milestones in this beautiful blessed month ✨ . . {I was also inspired by the meaning behind ‘Al-Latif’ (Al-Laṭīf لطيف) is one of the names of God in Islam, meaning "Kind"} . . #chasingsakina / #writersofig / #embracingmotherhood / #parenting / #muslimmummy / #moodyaesthetic / #cardiff / #naturephotography / #canonphotography / #canoneos100d / #moodygram / #poetsandwriters / #writingdaily / #ramadanreflections / #gratitudejournal / #fightingperfectionism / #atelephobia / #forgetful / #experimentingwithwords / #cardiffphotographer / #islamicpost / #islamicreminder / #mindfulness . #selflove / #selfawarness / #hopesanddreams (at Roath Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxr37H5jBzu/?igshid=qm47wvawtk64

[18/27] #TheRamadanSeries ✍🏽 . #wordprompt : #childhood . You may or may not have come across my story where I mentioned that I’m currently helping to raise funds for Orphans in Gaza with @interpal_uk. . It wasn’t something I had set out to do at the beginning of #Ramadan however the opportunity presented itself and I ceased it. I was nervous at first, wondering how on earth I’d manage to make a difference if I didn’t spread the word - how even if I ‘did’ spread the word - what if it wasn’t enough? But here I am - trying again - offering YOU the opportunity to reach out and give whatever you can. . If you’d like to make worlds of a difference in the life of an orphan - in helping shape their childhood into a happier/safer place - dm me for details on how you can donate & help make a difference 🙌🏽✨ . PS: If today was the last day you lived, and you wanted to bump up your good deeds, to outweigh the accumulation of sins, would you still skip over this? This could be YOUR chance at getting ongoing reward in assisting in the growth of another human being 🌻 . Unable to donate? That’s totally okay 💕 Help spread the word and may you receive the reward in doubles if others donate because of your sharing ✨ . . . . #writingforacause / #chasingsakina / #donatefororphans / #ramadandonation / #cardiff / #wales / #shotwithaniphone / #moodyaesthetic / #moodygram / #amwriting / #spilledink / #writingdaily / #writingchallenge / #writingcommunity / #writersofig / #poetsandwriters / #innocence / #fightingperfectionism / #ramadanreflections / #cardiffarchitecture / #wales / #wanderlust / #exploring / https://www.instagram.com/p/BxnWFXSjkMn/?igshid=xrupflpa7dft

[17/27] #TheRamadanSeries ✍🏽 — #wordprompt : #loss __ somethings you cannot find logic or reason in. that does not mean therein lies no wisdom to be learnt. tests are teachers. life is full of them. being at crossroads and encountering loss in different forms is very much prevalent in the process of #growth and being on the road to becoming beautifully softened, awakened & #resilient. . . . . . #chasingsakina / #littlemusafiratravels / #shotwithaniphone / #ramadanreflections / #ramadan2019 / #writingcommunity / #amwriting / #poetsandwriters / #spilledink / #wanderlust / #moodygram / #writersofig / #muslimtravellers / #reminder / #AlHadi / #writingdaily / #fightingperfectionism / #cardiffblogger / #cambridge / #roadtrip / #growth (at Cambridge, Cambridgeshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxmq-Osjp4f/?igshid=g53jfafzwq8s
