Allah is Always with Me.

-

Hand on heart, *beat BEAT beat BEAT beat BEAT*. Blood pumped out into every depth of my body. And Allah is closer to me than my jugular. Always with me. Never leaving.

In the misty mist, from the air trails forming in swirls as I exhale, and then some more. In 'HHHhhh'.
And then from the crystal clear tears streaming down my face a river rippling so beautifully. More and more. Splish! Splash! Splosh! Pools collecting in the swathes of my headscarf. Now my headscarf is littered with splashes of my grief and happiness and joy and peace.

From the mysterious sparkles which don't show, but are within me. Sunshine and rainbows. Sunlight glistening through the tree branches. A beam of light upon my caramel face. Each eyelash a golden hair highlighted...And an entire universe captured within my iris.

A kaleidoscope of colours. Crimson, and azure and teal and magenta. Sparkling shiny. Entire universes in their own right, waiting to be unlocked and released and received.

Power of Allah. Allah give me peace and guide me and help me. Closer to me than my jugular. With every heartbeat, you are there, *beat BEAT beat BEAT beat BEAT beat BEAT beat*

Allah Hu Akbar, Al Hamdu Lillah and Subhan Allah constantly rolled out on those marble prayer beads. A cyclic symbol of my Love for You. And it was You all Along :)

*beat BEAT beat BEAT beat BEAT*

The Define Story

"Capture your imagination and let your true identity beautifully blossom." There was once a girl who loved to dress up. She enjoyed holding her grandma’s handbags, adorning herself with her mother’s jewels and wearing her own creations.                     A little girl born with glitter in her veins.  She was mesmerised by anything that sparkled. A little girl, who no matter how hard she tried, never felt like she fitted in.  Then after years of trying to conform, she gave up. She realised that some people were just not meant to fit in. They were born to stand out. Those drawn to DEFINE are looking for something bespoke, something classically timeless. A statement piece. Be inspired by the most interesting yet graceful pieces, individually hand-picked. With a keen eye for detail and love of textures, mixed together with a wonderfully sophisticated colour palette, our personal collection is tailored to your needs.

How to have a Harry Potter themed birthday.

HP was the first novel which got me hooked onto reading and will always be a firm favourite. The starry castle, the wizards flying high to the mermaids swimming deep down in The Lake have remained with me since. So it was only fitting that I have a HP themed birthday tea!  Read on to be mesmerised by my magical mischief... Prop ideas.  My backdrop was going to be a brick wall effect prop I had made previously. I was going to use this to create the King's Cross Station/entering Diagon Alley look, but the material wouldn't stay up :( Never mind!  What's great about it is that it is really quick to make, because all you need is a sheet of white cotton, with some red or brown rectangles printed on in paint.  I used the witch's hat, Harry's glasses and broomstick as the main props on my table. You could use both the broomstick and the witch's hat as photo props too for your friends! I think using these instead of card props is way more fun and authentic.  In the midd

25 Things I am Grateful for Recently :)

1. My brother's Engagement Party and attending family weddings in general. I enjoy weddings because I like getting dressed up, the glamorous aesthetics of the whole day, the food,  and of course seeing loved ones take the next step in their life :) 2. Seeing my neice's cheeky smile, her little hands trying to touch everything, and her starting to crawl.  3. Giving my prayer room a makeover! From choosing colours and accessories to sanding and painting, it really has been satisfying to see days of my manual labour (with some help from Dad) all come together.  4. Catching up with friends I haven't seen in a while.  5. Walks in the park. Fresh air and being in nature :)  6. Physical self-care in the form of Hijaama (Wet Cupping.) 7. My parents for the kind and beautiful souls they are.  8. A clean house that smells of Febreeze.  9. Opening a window to fresh air in the middle of a heatwave.  10. Drinking Kashmiri (Pink) chai and Masala chai *sigh*.   11. Visiting my aunt and he
