I stumbled upon your blog via link from Dr. Yaser Haddara.
JazakumAllah Khairan, for sharing your “personal” thoughts; myself, I am to shy to create a blog.
After reading your posts, it seems as though from an outsiders perspective (my apologies if I am wrong) that you are facing some hardship in your life. It is always a good reminder to remember:
“Verily with hardship comes ease; Verily with hardship comes ease.”
Below is an interesting article you might enjoy reading. The article deals with the topic of what constitutes a “successful” women.
Was’salamU Alaikum Wramatullah Wabrakatou.
wa ‘alaikum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu,
Jazakum Allah
khair for your comments and reminders. I received the article. Alhamdulillah, I am not experiencing any hardship in my life right now. I am very happy alhamdulillah 
Upon reflection, my posts may seem that way because they’re very reflective, and I guess reflection often happens at the most solemn times in life. I hope and pray that they’re of benefit to people, and that I can write some more lighthearted posts in the future isA.
All praise is for God, Lord of all the worlds.
Salams Asma. Great blog. I found the link in a MAC related email. I often think of joining or to be more accurate returning to the blogosphere. Unfortunately, my current blog has been horribly neglected (http://ylooks.blogspot.com). I think I’m clocking in one blog per year :p
But this site has me thinking. Perhaps I’ll start one before I begin grad school this fall. It may be fun to share with all my gradual loss of hair from self inflicted bouts of frustration as I spiral into the abyss of academic insomnia!
wa alaikum assalam Salman
, but not only to share your bouts of frustration; we need to hear your ideas! Ylooks has some great posts mashaa Allah 
. You should definitely keep it going, or come join the hadithuna community.
Thanks for your comment! I think you should return inshaa Allah
Wa’alaykum as-salaam wa Rahmatu Llahi wa Barakatuhu my dearest sister Asma,
Wonderful blog, masha’Allah
. I pray I can continue visiting you, and learning from you, insha’Allah 
.
Wa’alaykum as-salaam
Love Farhana
