Iqra!!
Iqra...Iqra "Don't be sad". Excellent book, will recommend everyone to read this book. I have only started reading it and so far its amazing. Every soul I have met who has read this book has given me the same opinion, they have praised it and only till you read it you begin to understand the praise it is worth.
We all go through problems, grief, hardship but the following statements really touched my heart:
"The good kind of grief is that which stems from missing out an opportunity to do a good deed or from performing a sin. When one feels sad because he was negligent in fulfilling the rights o Allah, he shows the characteristics of a person who is on the right path".
SubhanAllah, we as humans tend do get sadenned by many things, however we should remind ourselves that with every hardship Allah (swt) brings ease inshaAllah. We are rewarded for all the the hardship we go through and grief is just another form of hardship. If we look at it from that angle, this grief will bring happiness inshaAllah
We should remind ourselves that all hardships in this life are temporary as this life is just a short break on our journey to our creator and earning reward from these hardships is a permanent thing that will witness us till the end inshaAllah.
Now give us a smile and go n purchase this book now, it definately is worth it.

Yeeaahh!! I've got 'Don't Be Sad' too - totally agree, its a "don" book..lol :D
its nice to read bits every day/few days...if u read it all @ once, it doesnt sink in as well as it should, innit.
u heard of 'From My Sisters' Lips' by Na'ima B. Roberts? Its about sistas in niqaab and their views on life etc. thats a good book, too...a mate lent it to me & i'd recommend it also.
:)
ps. now that u've lived in egypt for quite sum time, hav u resorted to saying 'my gilbaab is gameelan, giddan!' etc yet? :P
pps. 'EID MUBARAK, YO!
:D

Eid Mubarak to you too!
Your absolutely right, the book needs to be read in bit for it to be as totally don. Yeh Im still in the middle of reading "From my sisters lips", I got to the end n then stopped coz wanted to start reading "Don't be sad". Still need to finish reading that off inshaAllah. Yeh that book is pretty kewl too, but "Don't be sad" is donner! hehe :oP
lol @ "my gilbab is gameelan giddan", aaah please don't, I have to hear plenty of the "G's", the shocking one was when I heard them say "masgid" rather than masjid! lol but I guess Im getting used to it!

It really motivates you to feel happy all the time isnt it?!! Its been translated from Arabic to English and as we all know, it is impossible to get the exact translation. This means that the Arabic version must be proper don man!!

This book is just great, yet no real words can describe it. I like it very much.
I'm talkling about the Arabic version because I didn't read the English version yet.
