Mabroook ya Masr!!!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Ya Allah! AlhamduLilah! We won!

As you guys know i am and Egyptian/American, and since i live here in the U.S of A, my family keeps Aljazeera news on most of the day to see whats going on. I am so proud of the egyptians for standing up for their rights, and doing it peacefully, and i wish i was there with them. We made history!! I really couldn't believe it when Omar Solieman announced that Mubarak left, but it happened with the help of Allah swt.

One thing i've always seen in most egyptians is that they are very very stubborn!! And alhamduLilah, it came in handy. After 18 days straight of protests, families leaving their homes and spending the whole time at tahrir square, even sleeping there. After the loss of hundreds of lives, and thousands of Egyptians injured at the hands of merciless police and thugs leashed by the regime, after 30 years of an unfair ruler, they did it, they were victorious, mashAllah.

The most beautiful scenes from the protests:

Christians protect Muslims while they pray

Protester praying in Tahrir Square

The most blessed month!

Who's excited about Ramadan!!!!!

I've never been so excited about something my whole life!

Ramadan has always been just the time where we fast before eid!!!! lol

But now? AlhamduLilah I'm soo exited, I just can't wait!!!

do i sound like a 3 year old?

Really tho its soo exciting!

Also I'm not only fasting from food and water from sunset to sunrise, I'm also going to fast from my computer, and makeup. Ever since last Ramadan i have been on my computer every single day! Almost all day! just getting up to pray, eat, etc. and i really need a freakin break! So I'm not gonna be blogging during Ramadan unless its something reallyyyyy worth it, inshaAllah!

So i just wanted to wish you all a happy Ramadan filled with blessings and great accomplishments you'll be proud of the rest of your life, inshaAllah.

I also wanted to share a few things with you.

"Fasting is a shield with which a servant protects himself from the Fire." 
[Ahmad, Saheeh]

"When Ramadan comes, the doors of Heaven are opened, the doors of Hell are closed, the devils are put in chains, and the doors of mercy are opened."

 [Bukhari and Muslim]

"Every action of the son of Adam is given manifold reward, each good deed receiving then times its like, up to seven hundred times. Allah the Most High said, 'Except for fasting, for it is for Me and I will give recompense for it, he leaves off his desires and his food for Me.' for the fasting person there are two times of joy; a time when he breaks his fast and a time of joy when he meets his Lord, and the smell coming from the mouth of the fasting person is better with Allah than the smell of musk." [Bukhari]

"The man who keeps a fast in full faith and for a reward in the world hereafter, will be forgiven his past sins. And the man who prays in the night during Ramadan with faith for reward in the world hereafter, will be forgiven all his past sins."

[Bukhari and Muslims]
