About

.To know me is to know that which I love, worship, enjoy..Allah swt the One who placed me in my mothers womb knows me better then even I but here are a few things about me you could say..The light that hits u when you wake and the sound of children playing in the distance.. I love these moments. And thoughts that I throw out like old notes that someone happens to find..May they be a blessing to the hand that picks them up and find a home within them. Oh Allah swt, The One I serve, insha Allah even as I now love to feel in my hands the soil as i place small herbs within it so let me find rest and joy in my grave that will one day come.
