A Companion narrated that, a funeral once passed by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who said: ‘He has found rest, or others have found rest from him.’ They said, ‘O Messenger of God, how is that?’ and he replied, ‘the believing slave finds rest in God’s mercy from the fatigue and misfortunes of the world, while the absence of the corrupt slave brings rest to humanity, the land, the trees and the animals.’

Salaam,

I am Rashida, a homeschooling mama of four, ‘uni drop out’ (bc I relocated and started having babies) with a background in Arabic & Islamic Studies, who has resumed college, an ijaza student in teaching tajwid, an home herbalist, an art enthusiast with some experience in Islamic illumination and a queue of calligraphy pieces still waiting to be illuminated, and many other interests all somehow related in my estimation.

This blog is a glimpse of my reflections, underlined by intentional living.
