About Me

I am Afreen - slave of The Invincible, daughter of a magnificent couple, wife of a gentleman and mom of a chatterbox! Alhamdulillah!

As for my blog, you will see that this blog contains a few categories. These are my areas of interest. However, you should be warned that I am no expert at any of these! So what inspires me to put up my rather amateurish posts on these categories is the simple motto "share the khair", the idea that if anything at all I do, inspires anyone out there and benefits them in any way at all, its a chance for me to earn some extra rewards with no much extra effort.

Two ayahs form the Quran that had a great impact on me to shun my lazy-cozy life (which I was SO much in LOVE with), for a more purposeful and productive life are: "And whoso does an atom's weight of good shall see it then" and "Then on that Day you shall be questioned about the blessings". While one is a good news and an inspiration to not look down on any good deed you can do, no matter how small, the other is a warning of the consequences if you don't make use of your blessings in the right way. Between this good news and warning, there actually is no scope or choice for one to continue with his/her lazy life.

So here I am, a long way to go of course, but certainly having started to tread the way, hoping to resume my sweet lazy-cozy life in the hereafter! I am making use of the great blessings of social media to share the khair of the little things I do with my sisters who are scattered around the world, with hopes and prayer that I can stand in front of my Lord on that day with a serene heart and glee, knowing that I shall see the effects of this atom sized deed of mine...
