The Story of "Mrs. Normal"

Many people will spend years or even an entire lifetime not living the life they really want – one that is filled with success, happiness, and fulfillment.  They will settle for mediocrity and live a ‘normal’ life.

Have you heard the story of “Mrs. Normal”?  Mrs. Normal grew up in a ‘normal’ family, received a ‘normal’ education, married a ‘normal’ man, had ‘normal’ children, and then, died.

The story of “Mrs. Normal” is probably the story of 95% of people and some may ask, but what is the problem with being ‘normal’? Normal is fine alhamdullilah and growing up with a family, receiving an education, being married and blessed with children are all in deed good things in theory.

But is solely achieving these series of steps considered amazing or outstanding? Is it living our life with true ihsan (excellence) as Allah (Swt) asked of us? Is it fulfilling the role Allah (Swt) assigned as in the Quran as caretakers (khulufa’a) of this earth whose responsibility is to make a positive difference in our families, communities, and the world as a whole?

Many will live a life that is not aligned with their true nature (fitra) that Allah (Swt) created them with – a nature that longs to be in harmony with its Creator and the creation.  A nature that enables them to be healthy, happy, successful and allows them to  to leave a legacy and truly make a difference, while in sha Allah awaiting an amazing hereafter.

Many will face fears, failures and depression – feeling lost or lonely – not knowing what or how to accomplish what they really want in their lives.

Having said that, please take a few moments to consider what you really want. Consider your life and how you really want to live it, in light of what Allah (Swt) asked of us?

Did you think about it?

I hope so – and I hope you’re looking forward to it because achieving success both in this dunia and the hereafter IS possible in sha Allah, and I would like to invite you to attend my online event, coming up this February 13th at 12pm EST, on the Seven Secrets to a Muslim Woman’s Success  to give you a glimpse of how to do just that in sha Allah.

Suffering in Silence...No More...

I had a sister recently email me with a situation that I hear and have seen often yet don’t see very much done about.  She’s a sister who moved to a new city after being married,  became pregnant soon thereafter and was blessed to become a mother, yet she is struggling in her marriage, she feels lonely and she wants to get her life back in order. I feel many sisters will suffer in silence and subhana’Allah, although to some it may seem like there is really nothing to complain about when a sister these days has even had the opportunity of being married and was blessed again with the gift of children.  Yes, we should be thankful in times of goodness and patient in times of tribulation and always turn to Allah (SwT) first and foremost, yet we know Allah (swt) says: ““And the human being was created weak” (Surat al-Nisa, 4:28).  Although our faith in Allah (swt) should give us tremendous strength and perseverance, at the end of the day we are human beings and we will...

Living on Purpose and with Purpose

Alhamdullilah, as Muslims, we are given the gift of understanding our purpose on earth, which people will spend a lifetime searching for, in the Quran in the following verses: “I have not created mankind and jinn except to worship Me” (51:56) “When your Lord said to the angels: ‘I am placing on the earth a caliph” (2:30) These two verses would need pages and chapters written to reveal their full depth and meaning.  Very briefly though, ‘worship’ in the first verse is not limited to our prayers and fasting for example but can truly encompass everything we do in our lives when we do it with the intention of drawing nearer to Allah.  So it can include our eating, sleeping, spending time with our loved ones, studying, working, etc. As for the meaning of ‘caliph’ – this term is used to define the one who will take care of this earth, help build it, make a positive difference and fulfill the role of leadership that Allah (Swt) has placed them in – whatever that role may be – from a Hea...
