SubhanAllah, MashaAllah, the past few days were beautiful.

My spring break went well alhamdulillah- visiting my college and friends at Montclair State, hanging with the familia, shopping with Sheema baji (considering my loathing to shop, Sheema baji was like this good luck charm and helped me find clothes I actually liked) , and procrastinating my three papers and presentation.

Since Spring is finally here, I have to get a grip on something I have lost touch with over the winter- reading Quran consistently. One day, I'm motivated to memorize Surah ar Rahman, get through maybe 10 lines, take a break, forget the 10 lines, so being the genius I am, I start with Burooj, don't get far with that, and forget both ayahs in Burooj and Rahman.

So instead of being a slacker of the deen, inshaAllah inshaAllah this spring commences the revival of my committment to studying the Quran fi sabilillah.

As our beloved Prophet sallalahu alayhi wa salam once said, "ya Allah, make the Quran the Spring of the Heart" Ameen.
