Penning down random thoughts

Most of the time.. (almost all the time) I end up writing because I am sad. It's not that I write to let those negative feelings out , I do but more precisely I write when I am sad because when I look back at this I want to remember how miserable I was so I appreciate my current state.

I am currently happy. Tired, ill but happy. Thanks to Allah swt. I didn't have anymore fights with my sister. Not even a single one since my birthday. She has turned extremely nice for some weird reason. It's a bit scary. I love her a lot. I think she is what keeping me positive these days, so thanks to Allah again.

My relationship with my mom is still very sour, I doubt it will turn sweet. Now that I think of it we never had a sweet relationship.

I am reprioritizing everything. If there is one thing that is missing from my life it's consistency. I will do my best to be consistent from now on.

I have to study a lot. Studying makes me so happy.

I was planning to workout a lot this summer, as always I was not consistent. Now it got to a point where i go to them gym to workout then sit there and watch law and Order of CSI. I have to get serious about that.

Last but not least I have become more religious.

The roots of true achievement lie in the will to become the best that you can become.

History of Islam in Europe

I thought it was important to share this video. While I watched this video in a way I was so proud. On the other hand I was so sad, it was a bittersweet moment. Islam has given the society so much, yet when people look at the religion these days they all seem to think we are a ignorant bunch of people running around with swords. It is sad no one remembers Muslims have also given a lot of innovative ideas in the field on mathamatics, science, technology, fashion, literature. When more than half of this world was living in dark ages, and the great renaissance was yet to come, Muslims were already reforming society, advancing in various fields.

This video was amazing. I mean I read about these things before. But seeing it was just....wow!!
