Can I memorize the Qur’an? — Part 1

*Nur’s Journey

Growing up, it was compulsory to go to Qur’an School and so I went. I learnt the alphabets, memorised just enough to pray and then came high school. I went to a boarding school where no one made it compulsory and then to the university and I was a graduate.

others see it as just a piece of cloth

The power of du’a

The last Ramadhan was totally amazing even though we still get the bug that we did not do enough, Alhamdulilah alaa kulli haal.
I complained to a sister that I met recently about my du’a list for Ramadhan. I said I don’t know how to say what I want

I love my Hijab!

I am a Muslimah. You know, born and bred as such but for practice, Well! it was more recent. The death of a close friend Allah bless his soul
