searching for peace has always been a big thing for me I always yearned for it then I realized the one thing that could be bring me peace was Islam I was born muslim but the saying "Everyone is born muslim but it's up to them to find it"is very much true TikTok had a big influence on my journey to find Islam and each day I strive to better myself .
It was currently 5:00 am my alarm was buzzing it was time for fajr I set the alarm ringtone as the adthan so it would wake me up for prayer (if that makes sense)I did not want to wake up but I kept telling myself
𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓶𝓸𝓻𝓷𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓹𝓻𝓪𝔂𝓮𝓻 𝓲𝓼 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓶𝓸𝓼𝓽 𝓭𝓲𝓯𝓯𝓲𝓬𝓾𝓵𝓽 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓱𝔂𝓹𝓸𝓬𝓻𝓲𝓽𝓮𝓼
did I want to be a hypocrite no? 1..2..3 !! And I stood up at the count of three I saw the method on tiktok and it's very useful I thought to myself
I brushed my teeth washed my Face I had been breaking out recently it was probably the stress of my uni applications I didn't really mind braking out it didn't make my face look to bad but I also hated the sight of my face sometimes (astagfirullah ) I completed my wudu and layed out my prayer matI love when the night was transitioning to morning it was dark and bright the sun rising it was so peaceful and quiet the world was still and asleep ,I loved my setup so I took a picture
It was really peaceful I prayed fajr and recited some pages of baqarah and went back to sleep Tommorow was the first day of uni and I was extremely anxious ,I listened to mishari Al afsay's recitation of Ad duha I love it was extremely calming I set my alarm for 6:30am since uni was starting by 8 so I had more than an hour to get ready .

My alarm rang it was already 6am my bestie illaria was already calling we've been best freinds for almost 3 years she was extremely beautiful and purest soul ever she was my answered Dua I am so grateful for Alllah giving me a best freind like her
"Earth to Aya ARE YOU READY FOR UNI !!"she practically screamed into my ears how are you so energetic this morning I asked she took an energy drink "you know those are bad for you" oh stop lecturing me I laughedthen we did yoga together on face time we did evrything together always reminded ourselves to strive to become our highest selves when we were done with yoga it was time for the biggest decision the outfit
"This is THE outfit the one that sets our day for the rest of uni we need to pick wisely"
Illaria was being overly dramatic but choosing outfits was so hard matching it with a hijab was even harder illaria wasnt a hijabi yet no one in her family was which is why it was a struggle for her I reminded her gently time to time she's practiced a few times but she's just not ready yet .We were finally done after 25 minutes of picking I decided an outfit with an open up abaya denim jeans and a top it was lovely and modest Illaria did the same too but a different color of abaya ,we both ended the FaceTime to take our annual "OOTD mirror picks" this was the first outfit for a new journey I took a picture to post on my story
