i've just come back from usrah, i love my usrah its quite funny really cause it only consists of me and a certain maymoona (wink wink if your reading this maymoona), yep just the two of us and really its lovley subhannallah and whats really cool is the nakib that we have, hes amazing mashallah, over the years i really have been blessed with amazing teachers and i thank allah swt for giving me the time and oppertunity to learn from them.

the usrah is something that has so much potential and we dont really realise the importance of having an usrah, it would have been great to have had mine every week but due to having a busy scedule my nakib can only do a fortnight and for that i am thankful, there was a time when i didnt have an usrah and it really felt like i was lost, i swear the usrah is supposed to be our shelter, our enegry booster, its our supporter, its the problem solver its so much more or its supposed to be and the usrah members are supposed to be more than sisters, were one and constantly there for each other and much more really....

i remember how i attended a talk by a certain speaker and he was talking about the realtionship we have with one another, and he mentioned that were supposed to pick up the signes and he used himself as an example, he said that he was once facing financial difficulties and he was in a right state and he was part of an usrah yet he did not once mention his prblem to a single soul and he says that he could bet that his usrah members did not know of his situation and he was sat at home wondering how to solve his dilema when he heard the letter box of his house being opened and so he went to investigate and he saw an envelope just lying there so he picks it up opens it and his problem is solved- in the envelope was a cheque with an amount that would unburden him for quite some time, obviously he was over joyed but he couldnt think who it could have been, so he opens the door to see if he can catch a glimpse of this person but no one was their and it was only some time later that he learnt that it was his ursah helping him out even though he didnt mention his situation to anyone yet they picked up the signes and they were concerned for him and to them if one of them had a problem then they all shared the same problem no matter the scale subhanllah.

that story really touched me and its how i like to imagine an ursah to be, i always say that allah swt did not give me any blood sisters but he blessed me with islamic sisters and i swear girls i love you guys for the sake of allah swt and i pray that i can be of those who pick up the signes ( although i am a scatter brain and can be slightly thick or khafif as u somalis tend to put it).

but yeh i love my usrah and i pray that i will always be blessed with an usrah as it really does keep me going, so guys fight for your usrahs....
