I miss Mecca & Medina



First Picture: Kaabah in the middle of Masjidil Haram, Mecca, Saudi Arabia.

Second Picture: Masjidil Nabawi, Medina, Saudi Arabia.

I dreamed I went to Mecca & Medina for umrah again. Really miss those holy places. Yesterday, I saw some pictures of Mecca & Medina at a shop. I bought pictures of both and put them on the wall of my room. I need to go there again. I'll save my own money this time. I wish I can go there every year ahead.

For those Muslims who keep on postponing their departure to Mecca & Medina, keep on waiting for someone to take over the mountain of work in their office, or keep on trying to 'finish' all tasks before going there, I have something to say to you.

YOU'RE WASTING TIME STRUGGLING TO FIND HAPPINESS AND TRANQUILITY HERE WHILE ALLAH HAS PREPARED FOR YOU SUPERB TRANQUILIZER ELSEWHERE.

Open your eyes, open your heart to understand this.



My Wishes

Just like you, I also have many problems.

Despite the fact that Allah has given me wayyyyy so many good things in my life, I still crave for many other things. I'm sharing with you what I'm thinking, what I want for my life now as well as for my life in the hereafter (Muslims have the concept of 'akhirah', which is permanent life after death).

High IQ Societies; An Introduction

It was an accidental discovery.

It was linked to my declining health. When I first started to realize that my academic achievement was declining together with my sport performance, I didn't know it will get that far.

I blamed my bad sides, thinking that I was just being too lazy, having too much fun, ignoring the real important things. I blamed my own bad self.

You're lazy, Nisa.

You're playing too much.

You're not paying much attention in class.

You're not giving enough focus like you used to.

You're straying.

You're influenced by those not-so-good students.
