Starting an Islamic Study Group with the family!

Started on Saturday, October 18,2014, my family and I, that's including cousins, aunts, and uncles, came together to start an Islamic group to teach each other about Islam and to widen our knowledge on our religion. We started our first day as a trial run, talking about anything we wanted about Islam. I talked about the misconceptions people have on Islam. There were many interesting topics that were mentioned and stories that were told. I even teared up a little bit. The reason why we started this is because as we grow up and live our lives, we want to one day teach our kids and many people about Islam just like our parents taught us. And we don't want to blame our parents for not teaching us when they're gone, so when in doubt we're all being tested by Allah(swt). This is a good idea as it brings my family members close to each other and get to spend time with one another, but also teach each other the importance of Islam, like prophets, five pillars of Islam, Hadith mentioned in the Quran. We plan to meet each other every two weeks on a Saturday to listen and learn. We are also rotating house so we all get a chance to host. Now for next time, we all have to pick a Surah from the Quran and translate it to English after reading it in Arabic and discussthe  significance of that Surah. Until next time......

I MET AN OITNB CAST MEMBER?!

Yes, it's true. I met an Orange Is The New Black cast member, Diane Guerrero on April 11, 2017. And yes, I did just write the exact date. I was fangirling when I saw her. No joke. Well here's what happened. I just finished my last class and I was heading to my car to put my stuff away before going into the building where the event was held. After putting my things away, I walked towards the building in the exact moment right when Diane's driver drove up. She walked out, security people around her, and walked right in the building. I was behind her with my friends walking in and as I was walking, I was freaking out to my friends. I could tell all the people she walked passed was so excited! They were definitely starstruck. We were pretty early to the event, which started at 5pm, but that's a good thing because we were able to get fairly good seat to see her from a good view. She is literally so pretty. I kid you not, I wanted to walk up to her to take a picture because o...

ICNA 2017

Hi everyone! Finally I have time to blog my experience at ICNA 2017! I've been so busy with school and exams that I haven't had time. It's currently 12:56am as I am writing this on April 23rd. So ICNA 2017 was so much fun and informative! It lasted 3 days, 2 being the whole day and the last day being a half day. It ran from April 14-16 at the Baltimore Convention Center. When we arrived, it seemed like there wasn't a lot of people, but once it was time to pray, eat and walk the bazaar, everyone came out. So the first day, my family and I attended the main session held at the Main Hall. We heard so many speakers speak to the audience, like Sh. Omar Suleiman, Dr. Dalia F. Fahmy, Linda Sarsour, comedian Jeremy McLennan, Yasir Qadhi, and many more. And I met up with my cousin and her parents and anyone else we knew from the community. We didn't leave until 11:30pm that day. That same night I looked through the schedule for the next day's speakers and I really wanted...
