Favorite Quotes

Salaam All,
So remember how I told you that I love to collect quotes, well I'm going to dedicate this post to some of my favorite quotes, Currently I'm reading a book called "Instruction of the Student, The Method of Learning" By Imam Al -Zarnuji , the original Arabic title is "Ta-lim al-Muta'allim Tariq al-Ta'allum", It's pretty interesting so far, after I'm done reading it I will post lessons that I learned from it/ my favorite parts of it..Inshallah

So Here are some of my favorite quotes/sayings:

Now out of fear you desire to die (But) even after death, if you do not find peace, where will you go?Now, overpowered by calamities and problems, you desire to die and you consider death a solution to all your problems, but if, after death, you do not find peace in the grave, if you do not find peace on the Day of Qiyaamah, if you do not find peace on the Pul Siraat and you are deprived of entry in Jannah, then where will you go?--urdu poet

Yes, we love peace, but we are not willing to take wounds for it, as we are for war. - John Andrew Holmes

My First Post

Hello Everyone!

This is my first blog post, I made a blog a long time ago once upon a time but I never used it.

Soo..what inspired me to start a blog...well..I wanted a place where I could express myself and keep track of everything that is going on in my life..So who exactly am I??

Well... I am going to be a freshman in the fall at the University of Washington (Yay, I'm going to be a Husky :D). I am both excited and nervous at the same time but I'm happy because I already have a group of freinds who already go there who will be my support group and help me adjust and transit to my new life as a university student. I still haven't decided what I want to major in, I want to study health sciences, and I also want to study the Arabic language (there's so much I want do ).

So what do I plan to do on this blog?? I plan on writing snippets about my life,posting poetry,news articles, religous discussions, music, fashion, hijab styles, everything and anything that I find interesting. I will try to critique and post my thoughts about things that I post (if I'm not feeling lazy).

I love life and love learning, I think everyday is a new learning oppurtunity. I want to make the best of this life while I'm here on Earth.
