19th Ramadan - Sweet reminders

This thing is getting to my head. It’s annoying. I will have to do something about it so that I can focus again. Focus on what is the question. 

I have this hyper focus condition when I do get into something I tend to not let it go until it bears fruit. I only let it go if I fear hurting someone or hurting myself. Hyper focus is usually the condition for people with ADHD or autistic or with an introverted personality type akin to the MB INTJ trait which is a rare trait according to population wise and even rarer among women. It is not a popular trait liked by many at first due to our death stare if we’re not yet mature or careful about it.

Ghazi my warrior who will be leaving this June

See these 2 things above are synonymous. 😍 

People come, people go. Just be thankful we had the chance to meet and know each other. I recalled my aunt and grandma again. Both Buddhist and yet taught me profound lessons in kindness and giving with advice which will stay with me for a long time. 

Anyway, today, Saturday morning, I wrapped up official work as advisor to the postgraduate student council by giving the welcome address for new PG students on their orientation day. Then I went out for groceries before returning to do some project work planning for the knowledge & wisdom seekers (KWS) program. This program is sitting in my head ever since the Ibrah Surah Al Rahman book came out of press. I’m not yet fully engaged with how its ecosystem can become beneficial to the target community and to the benefactors. I am aware I need sponsors and funding yet I need this courage to push it through and humility to ask for help. 

Fourth book by EmmaIhsan.com since 2023, debuting the KWS 

This time it is in partnership with FirdausPress.com, together we found the FirdausBooks.com trademark and the KWS idea came from me. InshaAllah we’ll see how it will turn out for the best. 

Iftaar and dinner was had at Ambar’s place. Wonderful food, lovely people. Alhamdulillah 

Surah al Hajj 22:34-35 talks about the attributes of those who call themselves Muslims, in submission to one God and those who are contented in their faith/ believes. When God is mentioned they:

1. Fear Allah 

2. Perform salah

3. Patient in adversity 

4. Give charity

5. Treat all with kindness

6. Remain within the limits set by Allah

Allah knows best
