Great to read you again! And to discover another inspired author.
ReplyDeleteI think I really like this one - gives me a push to start opening my eyes a bit more:
"Opportunities? They are all around us. There is power lying latent everywhere waiting for the observant eye to discover it."
I am changing the way I update, so it may not always appear as a new post, but an update in the top left corner with a link to the page.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like that quote as well. Take care, Marie!
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullah,
ReplyDeleteI loved the following quote:
"No man can be ideally successful until he has found his place. Like a locomotive he is strong on the track, but weak anywhere else."
I am sorry for not being able to read latest quotes at your blog in fact I see updates of my favorite blogs at blogger's dashboard and I don't know why I can't see your posts there. (I feel there is something wrong with blogger's following feature or with your blog's feed etc.)
IQ, Thank you so much for visiting my blog once more. (That video was captured near my village in Kashmir, Pak. and that was captured more than 2 years ago. Currently I reside in Makkah Al Mukaramah for my job.)
Btw, I am glad to know that you too are a Muslim and I knew this from your words "JazakAllah Khair".
JazakAllah Khair to you as well.
Your Brother,
Sajid
interesting and definitely inspiring sister Jazakallahu khair for sharing doing our best is all we can do and trust in Allah s.w.t Inshallah

Brother Sajid, Assalamu Alaikum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh, JazakAllah khair, don't worry I have just changed the way I update my blog, it makes it easier to identify past quotes I have put up and for people when they come to my blog and want to read all the quotes on motivation or nature etc.
ReplyDeleteSo updates may come in the form of a new post, but they will also come in the form of a previous post being update with a range of new quotes. When I do this, I will update the message in the top left corner with the date of update and a link to the pages I have updated.
On the page itself will be the date of the update and then the quotes. This way I hope to build up a more thorough resource.
I hope that makes sense!
You are welcome Br Sajid. Thanks for letting me know.
I hope you are well. And btw you can call me Maryam if you want, some of the other people leaving comments know as they know me from my previous blog about Islam - if you also want to read that one some time: http://islamonlinelearning.blogspot.com
createwithmom - JazakAllah Khair, sister, you are right, that is all we can do, and to keep our faith in Allah
ReplyDeleteI hope you are well
