Salams & Gday Mates

 Asalamalaikum Warahmatullah, 

Its been a while. 7 years to be precise!

Subhannallah, life happened and also the internet took a different trajectory such that folks were not reading blogs so much.  Content sharing went to social media which meant so did I - be it about islamic quotes or personal things. I left this blog up in tact for archiving sake I suppose and also because I forgot the password (lets be honest lol). 

There have been a few times through the years that I wanted to post and revive, however the feeling was fleeting. There was a lot of emotion and memories associated with this blog - which I started when I was 15 years old! I am now 32! Subhannallah. 

Of recent, however, events have occurred which have in some ways rocked the very spiritual upbringing with which I grew up. 

I was reflecting back to simpler days, and realised that blogging beneficial Islamic reminders/lessons which I attended, collecting quotes and posting about them, sharing inspiring stories, was a way which I kept a check of myself and the content which I digested and shared. Simpler days. It was also a way which I was able to share reflections but not actually seek readership or likes. This blog was never about likes or how many people read it. It was always about sharing that which benefitted on my journey to Him. 

Well, I have talked a lot about a little and in other ways a little about a lot. 

So what changed of recent? Subhannallah.

There was a podcast I listened to a few days ago - Sacred Text Messages by Shaykh Hamza Yusuf. In his podcast, he said something so profound that I needed to stop and transcribe it word for word. I felt compelled to put it on Under Cover Pearls , and by doing so, restart the sharing journey inshaAllah....
