It has been exactly a week since I last posted, and as I have recently received a lot of awards from lots of lovely people, I think I’m going to spend the next few days working on them.
*****
So here are the rules:
- Thank and link back to the person that awarded this to you.
- Link posts by you and fellow bloggers that YOU find inspirational.
- Give the award to 10 fellow bloggers.
This award was given to me by ¤•˚Zαìήαβ˚•¤ (@ Dummy Escape). Thank you ever so much for giving me this honour! You should pay her blog a visit, despite it being very pink, it really is simple and sweet.
I’m going to combine points 2 & 3. Here are some bloggers and their blogs that truly light up my blog-reading:
- Sara (@ Sweet Serenity in Islam) is extremely knowledgeable, and well spoken. Her blog is for everyone, Muslims who wish to improve their faith and non-Muslims who wish to learn more about Islam. Inspiring Post: Fulfilling our dreams.
- Though Aeesha S. (@ Aeesha’s Recital) hasn’t recently posted any long and detailed posts, there are many many things one can learn from what she has to say and be duly inspired. While browsing through her blog looking for a relevant post to share with you all, I came across the following one-liner that sums up my point. Inspiring Post: An appraisal.
- One blog that I have recently started following (literally last week) is Audacious Tori’s (@ Audacious Tori). The reason I like it is because her posts are simple, and usually short but extremely truthful, blunt and hard hitting. Inspiring Post: When it is over?
- Another new blog is Chymere Hayes (@ Chymere Hayes). ‘A personal journey to success’ from which we can all borrow a few words of wisdom. Inspiring Post: Note to self.
- I know I have mentioned Gary (@ Khlanie) a few times before, and if any one deserved this award he surely does! Amazing writer, humourous and inspiring, I have trouble finding words to describe him. Inspiring Post: Positive energy saboteurs.
- Amira (@ The Stranger’s Diary) is another very knowledgeable blogger who is always interesting to read. Inspiring post: Should be sleeping (a few pictures).
- MoniqueS (@ My social anxiety disorder), writes from a personal perspective about the title of her blog. There are many ill conceived concepts regarding anxiety disorders and her blog goes a long way in shedding some light on the hidden secrets we may not normally notice or overlook. Inspiring post: My film career and social anxiety.
- There are some people, whose words make you realise the value of living each and every day. The writer of TheraScribbles is one of them. His words are from the heart and talk about his battle with depression. Inspiring Post: Should I stay or should I go.
- Asma Khan (@ Stay Blessed) is an excellent and thought provoking writer. Each of her posts leaves one nodding their head in agreement. Inspiring Post: Toxic Relationship.
- I need a break. Don’t hold your breath for this space.
Hope you are all having a lovely, relaxing and enjoyable weekend.

Don't know what made you choose the song - but its very weird, I was listening to it the minute I saw your update - infact I have been listening to it the whole day :)
You would not believe your eyes if ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep…

Hi Nas,
My kind friend, you write one of the most thought provoking and articulate blogs that I have the great pleasure in visiting.
In fact, befitting of the award, you are indeed an inspiration and most worthy of such acknowledgement.
I thank you for including me in such an esteemed group that you have passed the award onto. I shall duly check out the blogger at 'Dummy Escape' who bestowed the award upon you. I shall also check out those you have forwarded this award onto. Congrats to you, Nas and congrats to all those who have received this award from you.
In peace and good wishes, Gary :)

Assalaam Alaikum Nas,
JazakAllah khair for the award! And thank you for your kind words. I don't believe myself to be very knowledgeable and, as we all do, struggle to improve myself each and every day so I find myself humbled by your words.
Thanks again, and I will, Insha'Allah, get around to this as soon as I can. =)

Honored, simply honored. I write from the heart it's true, and sometimes faster than I can type. To be called inspirational is very special. To reference that post in particular... thanks. It;s one of a couple that I re-read from time to time as well for inspiration.
(As a side note... I've been out and about all weekend so didn't get your note on my blog til tonight that there was something here for me. By then of course, this post was not the first post and the one about the porn industry was. It was an amusing moment...then I scrolled down.)
