Assalamu Alaikom

Assalamu Alaiokm brothers,

 

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

O mankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that ye may know each other (not that ye may despise (each other)). Verily the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things).

~ Qur'an 49:13

 

Hope all is well with everyone. Things are cool, alhamdullilah. I need to take better care of my classes (please make Dua). I'm still working from home on the Maine project.

 

Family is fine, alhamdullilah. It looks my brother is probably going to Stony Brook. He didn't get into most of the IVs, and got waitlisted at a couple of schools . However, he has a full ride at Stony, alhamdulillah, and this is mashAllah, a nice option. Please keep him and my family in your prayers. May Allah always protect our family members from shaytan's whispers and give them peace of heart in this life and the next. Ameen!.

 

It was nice meeting up with Sam and Shamim last wknd and iA, I'm planning on going to Hopkins for the undergradate graduation (May 22nd). Let me know if anyone is interested in coming as well (hopefully, I'll roll down with Imad).

 

Also, we need to figure out our summer getaway. Any ideas for place/time?

 

Talk to you all soon, iA. Hope your brothers benefit from the ayah and advice below. May Alllah bless us all with righteous, beautiful spouses. Ameen!

 

A man goes to a Sheikh after the birth of his first child, seeking advice on how to raise him properly, and as a good Muslim. The Sheikh's response took him with surprise. He told him, "You are too late." "What do you mean?" the man asked. "My son is just a day old..." The Sheikh replied, "You are too late. Your child has already come into this world. The time to worry about your children is before you get married...when you are out to choose your wife.

 

Peace,

Nabil
