Al-Huda

“By Al-’Asr (the time).  Verily, man is in loss.  Except those who believe and do righteous good deeds, and recommend one another to the truth and recommend one another to patience.” (Quran 103)

Salamu Alaykum Everyone!.  Alhamdulilah, i've enrolled in a few classes to keep myself busy in the past couple months. I've enrolled in an Arabic course, Tafsir course and aswell as a 40 hadith course. So far i've completed the first Madina book and i'm currently on Hadith 21/40 Alhamdulilah. After finishing university i really felt as though i had so much spare time that i wasn't taking advantage of. But now Alhamdulilah i don't know what i did with my spare time before this...

I want to dedicate this blogpost to Al-Huda Institue. Alhamdulilah i have found it to be one of the most amazing journeys i've been through thus far. Learning the word-for-word meaning of the Qur'an has been a great blessing. I encourage any of you out there to really enroll in the weekend tafsir course if you have time. You will not regret it. I really can't tell you how much i love it. Every week is a new experience.  <3

May Allah increase us all in knowledge and give us the opportunity to benefit from our youth before our old age. Ameen.

Latte ART!


Latte Art  is a method of preparing coffee created by pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso and resulting in a pattern or design on the surface of the resulting latte (Source) . Ever since my trip to Italy, i've been fascinated and intrigued by latte art. I used to go to cafe downstairs by our apartment and order expresso's everyday while i was in the beautiful city of Torino (Turin). Till this day, the aroma of fresh ground coffee beans in an expresso brings back memories!



The Cafe is on the right. This is a shot i took from our balcony.
