Just as I was thinking about writing something, A familiar feeling sorrounded me. My mind traced back to years from now. How familiar that time felt, yet felt as I was watching someone else life reel playing before me. Was it really me ? I couldnt believe so. Looking back, What and Who was I ? Am I still the same ?? Looks like I have changed, such that I cannot at places believe that would have been Me.

When talked about years back, It never fails to remind me of My wedding, The time which seemed to fly very soon, So many times I wanted to hold on to it, knowing it wont come back again - The freshness, the innocense, the bloom of a new relationship. And Just when I thought Life was fair, Z had to go back to Canada, which was always supposed to happen, for which our minds were quite prepared, Or were They ??? It reminds me of The lonely time I spent waiting for my Visa with anguish and envy. ” My greeting to the fortunate Country (Canada), who has for its daily companion the Man, I hold closest to my Heart’ I would think. Truly, What days were those, Filled with anticipation and anxiety, relishing every second I was blessed to spend with my parents and also hating every second I was far from Z. If I would have told you I enjoyed as well as Hated my (waiting) time back then, you wouldnt believe me, But that was/is True, more than truth itself.

I feel a tear trickling down my cheek. Why am I crying ? Is It a silent thanks to Allah for finally uniting us, Or Is it in regret that I was so much hungry for Z’s presence that I couldn’t enjoy my parents company ? Or Is it because I am simply a Human - Never satisfied, always finding faults/flaws … !!!

‘Patience brings Greater Rewards’ - they say. ‘Easier said than Done’ - I reply.

I am not a BIG fan of Magazines, although I love to Read. But some days back, A magazine did catch my eye. You can say, It was out of curiosity that I took a detailed look inside it. The magazine I am talking about is ‘Sisters’ which is a Magazine for Muslim Women and Men. Now,This is something which really intrigued me. After all how many magazines do we have here in West that target the Muslim society ?? The following is the cover of Summer 2008 Issue. Clicking on this will also take you to the official Sisters site, where you could subscribe for its single of every issue.

Although Here in Canada we have an another Magazine, but I love this the most. Sisters, Based in UK is a Magazine with some very inspiring stories, heart touching concepts, each said within the lights of Islam and the saying and teachings of our Prophet S.A.S. I would encourage everyone to go ahead and atleast download a sample issue of it (by clicking the image below), and I am sure you would go back asking for more.

Anyone Who love this Magazine just as I do ? Isnt this a Beautiful Magazine and a Must-Have for every Muslim ?? I dearly hope that Naima (Founder of this Magazine) would always go on publishing her works which even includes Books too like ‘ From My Sisters Lips’.
