Tahajud / Qyam
It all started when I was a senior in high school... I have a mother that takes Quran lessons and lectures seriously and I thank God for her.. You’re an amazing mother and I know many envy me for having a mother like you ( I love you :D with all my heart).. so yeah back to high school .. A new Masjed was built in our neighborhood and Mom’s prayers were answered (They offered Quran lessons) to be honest I wasn’t so happy all I thought about was mom’s nagging and endless arguments about taking the lessons so seriously. So eventually my sisters and I were dragged to the Masjed for the lessons.. oh did I mention that also my cousins were forced to go too? Yeah mom also dragged our cousins and sometimes our extended family :P … lool I miss those days.. So we started going for the lessons and surprisingly the tutors were amazing, they were encouraging and extremely patient. Unlike many others they tried to ignore the mocking that was always present in every single lesson and the non stop laughter. So yeah we got hooked, we realized that we are capable of reading the holy Quran properly and are also capable of memorizing a couple of chapters. Then it happened I fell in love ..yes with the Imam’s voice :D .. it was extremely clear and positive. I enjoyed every Maghreb prayer after the lesson, listening to the pure verses of Quran being read by our Imam was the joy of the day. Ramadan came and I went to the Masjed on a daily basis… then came the last ten days of Ramadan when I started going for Tahajud and fell deeper in love. Since then the last ten nights of Ramadan were always the joy of the year..
I just came back from Tahajud or Qyam and I cherish those hours of the day, they are spiritual, rewarding and reminds you that there is a brighter day, and there are always good people praying for each other.
To our beloved Imam GOD BLESS YOU, you are a reason for another positive day in my life :D
Khawater 4
After eating Iftar and praying with everyone, I make sure I do not miss Khawater 4. This program in my opinion must be watched by every single person. It is very beneficial and also a pleasure to watch. The presenter places a positive impact on viewers and encourages them to become better at their daily rituals by following the Islamic sharia.
To Ahmed Al-Shgairy I am also waiting for the day when the Arab nation will be appreciated and their culture will be the guide to all nations. The future will be bright and rewarding :D.
To our beloved Presenter Ahmed Al-Shgairy GOD BLESS YOU, you are a reason for a valuable day in my life.

Fa6oom’s house
I love going to Fa6oom’s house after work. Ok she would always say she is coming in 10 minutes but ends up coming in half an hour :s .. and I get angry every time this happens. But I just can never stay annoyed because as soon as we get in the mood non-stop laughter begins.
Spending half the time trying to find a parking spot next to Abella is hilarious… coz we always spot an empty spot and race towards it .. to find another car racing with us too.. I enjoy fa6oom’s sarcastic yelling and the huge sarcastic smile too when she eventually finds one and right next to the entrance (fa6oom is lazy and hates walking in the heat).
Lying in bed, smelling food being cooked and listening to the tunes our tummies compose. Then laughing out loud at a stupid joke that no one would ever find funny, and inventing a dance that requires moving a foot or two like ballerinas. Fa6oom that was hilarious.
To fa6oom GOD BLESS YOU, you are a reason for another joyful day in my life.
I will be missing these treasures, and await their return in the coming year.
