Living abroad, here in Halifax,  literally, I’m afraid to step on the road. There are rules about everything. Stand here, don’t stand there, cross road here, like this, but not like this on the other crossing. Everyone seems to know all the rules…. Except me.  I need to learn everything.  All this takes time! In …

Surprise trip to Muzzafarabad

by Shireen Gheba Najibupdated on June 15, 2019June 15, 20194 Comments on Surprise trip to Muzzafarabad

The drive to Muzafarabad was great. There is a rough patch yet to be completed, but mostly in good shape. On the way we saw lovely views,  driving along the Jehlum River. Water falls, streams and pine trees, the bushes along the winding roads, bursting with pink flowers, daisies, and lovely wild flowers. Crisp clean …

Barbecue at Trail Five.

by Shireen Gheba Najibupdated on September 20, 2018September 19, 20182 Comments on Barbecue at Trail Five.

At least once or twice a month, I need to be very close to Nature. My daily walks, combined with these trips, keep me fresh and energetic. It is the oxygen, the breathing in of the fragrances of different plants and lovely views, that make me feel fresh and happy. Whatever.

There is something about mountains that just thrills me. I love mountains – the higher the better. It just refreshes you. This is why Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) regularly went and stayed in a cave (Ghar-e-Hira) for several days, on a regular basis. You need to distance yourself from your everyday life sometimes. It is good …

  • After iftari family time. Some moments are so ordinarily extraordinary.  It is these moments that need to be cherished.
