Words are More Magical than Magic

We experience a range of emotions—happiness, excitement, surprise, anxiety, sadness, and depression—all through the power of words. I once told a friend during a badminton game, "I don’t ever sweat no matter how much I play, just like a pig. I hate my body." I stopped her and said, "Don’t ever degrade yourself, no matter how bad you feel. Your mind will accept it and make you feel that way. If we don’t see ourselves as good and powerful, who else will? Compare yourself with the best things you’ve seen and felt, not the worst." My words had an instant effect on her. She realized and said, "Yes, I will never compare myself with bad things and will think positively about myself." It was powerful, and we both knew it. Whenever I get worried, stressed, or anxious, I just want to see my husband and hear him say that he is there for me and will take care of me. Every time I feel stuck and anxious, he hugs me and says the word "RELAX." I feel that wo...

The Magic of Marriage: A Blessing from God

  Is marriage good or bad? Will we get a good person who understands us or neglects our interests and be himself? According to me, marriage is one of the best blessings God has given to all of us. I have been in Kolkata due to my office work and I came back yesterday at midnight. As per my old blog, you can see that I was stressed and finding a way out of it. Today, I'm out of it, bit relaxed and renewed. It's the magic of marriage. The way the other person treats you, holds you, and pampers you matters a lot. I gave every inch and centimeter of my stress to God and believed that He would take care of it. I got this strength only by my husband's ability to make me understand that I need to let go of things I cannot control. He is my happy home, my prayer come true. Every time I meet him, be with him, spend time with him, I heal, I glow, and I grow. I give all my stress, issues, and worries to God and to him to handle. I believe that they can handle me and my issues. All my ...

AVIGATING THE STORM: MY JOURNEY WITH STRESS AND ANXIETY

I want to talk about something very important and serious that we all deal with: stress and anxiety. I'm one of its chosen ones, and it never leaves me alone. It's not a simple thing; it affects every part of my day until my thoughts are resolved. I constantly stress about situations and get anxious. I've been surviving with this overthinking, always stuck on the same point, unable to think about anything else, trying to fix things in my mind that I cannot control. I often stress over questions like "What if?", "How can it happen?", "What can I do?", and "How to resolve it?". These are very serious words to me. Once, I even fainted due to an anxiety attack. When we're anxious or stressed, we can sense it. It becomes hard to breathe, our chest tightens, and we're filled with agony. I even miss my monthly period cycle due to this issue. I used to take counseling and therapy to make myself better, but this is not easy stuff. ...

Life, Death, and Realizations: A Journey of Faith and Reflection

  I lost my badey marmuji the 2 day before. May Allah (SWT) bless him with maghfirat… Ameen. His death changed my thoughts a lot. When I lost my father, maybe I was not mature enough to realize the depth of it. But now, I am able to see life and death so clearly. I was not very attached to him, but I can still sense the pain of not having him in this world. Whenever we met, his kind words and the respect he commanded as my elder mammu always stayed with me. His royalty as the eldest among all my uncles was always evident. He used to send daily morning photos and Islamic videos to me and all our cousins. Now, all of a sudden, my mobile is silent in the mornings. I miss him. I can see that death is the ultimate reality, and we all need to return to the Creator. We cannot avoid it. We all die, and people will remember us for a few days and then let us go from their memories too. But what we take back with us is what matters. We cannot take back anything, not even our own body; it ...
