Asalaam alaikum,
I want to start off by saying that I thoroughly enjoy your posts and blog. MashAllah you have an excellent way of reminding me and others about important issues and providing some motivation through sharing your stories. After reading your latest post I wanted to share a hadith I remember reading:

Narrated Abu Barza:
Allah’s Apostle disliked to sleep before the ‘Isha’ prayer and to talk after it.

Being a fan of napping/sleeping and remembering how it can be difficult to stay awake as isha gets later into the night I sympathize with you but also wanted to pass along the information. My intention is not to criticize, rather to provide you with this hadith as information, as you do for me on an almost daily basis.

InshAllah I hope that you will continue to write as I find myself looking forward to your posts. InshAllah I’ll keep you in my duas and ask that Allah subhana wa ta’ala reward you for your preparations for Ramadan. I have also made the goal of paying more attention to our Quran and spending time reading it, even if it is only 10 minutes.

On a side note I found that if you have a calendar or something that you can mark off with a big red x each day as you accomplish your goal, you may find it difficult to break the streak once you get started. I’m not sure if it’s just me but perhaps that would help as well. Thanks again for your entertaining posts and adorable pictures. Asalaam alaikum.
Your sister,
Rebecca

Asalaam alaikum,
It’s me again. I just realized I typed in my website incorrectly. I haven’t had time to blog in a while, as I am staying busy with my first year of teaching and living in a new country (Kuwait) but inshAllah I will start again soon. My correct website is
