Paradise found





It's no easy feat, finding that headspace again, the blissful one that we're in usually rarely. It won't come easy and when it does, we're lucky if it stays long enough. And the ungrateful humans that we are, we lose all sense of the importance of this bliss and take it for granted... until it's no longer there.

I had lost my blissful headspace, my paradise, and come crashing down some years ago. Those who know me know my story... only this time, it wasn't I who was ungrateful.

I searched hard and I searched long.

So, on the 10th of January, at 8:15 am, she lay in my arms umbilical cord still attached.

I have not felt this happy in a very, very long time.

I had lost my Paradise... and now it is found... My Jannah is here.

A lifetime of sajda to my Creator will not suffice for this gift He has given me.

Alhamdulillah.

Mindfulness underrated

Being mindful is what we should be focusing on these days. Mindful – to be aware, to live in the moment, not sharing it with another...
