The world propagates that success and intelligence are the most admirable things to be but really, what matters most is kindness and being warm to people. I do not want to know you and I care less about how smart you are, if you can’t treat people well and with respect.

“Can I bring my baby to the interview?”

The message came in at 11 PM:

“Hi, I have an interview with you tomorrow at 2 PM. My childcare fell through. Can I bring my 8-month-old? I understand if you need to reschedule.”

Old me would have rescheduled.
Unprofessional. Distraction. Red flag.

New me replied:
“Absolutely. See you tomorrow.”

She showed up with her baby on her hip.
She apologized three times before even sitting down.

Ten minutes in, the baby started crying.
She tried to soothe him while answering questions.
She apologized again.

I stopped the interview and said:

“Hey. You’re managing a fussy baby, answering complex questions, and staying calm under pressure. That’s literally the job. Handling chaos while staying professional. You’re already proving you can do it.”

Her eyes filled with tears.

We hired her.

She’s been with us for a year now.
The most reliable team member we have.

Why?

Because when you’re used to handling a screaming infant at 3 AM and still showing up to work the next day, workplace stress feels like nothing.

Working parents, especially mothers, are some of the most organized, efficient, and resilient people you’ll ever hire.

Yet we lose them because our hiring processes are built for people with zero caregiving responsibilities.

If your interview process can’t accommodate a parent facing a childcare issue, you’re not filtering for professionalism.

You’re filtering for privilege.

how it feels knowing you belong to Ar-Raḥmān

[Fatima Saleh @Meenerl4]

When everything was taken from Prophet Ayub (عليه السلام) — his health, his wealth, his family — he didn’t lose faith. Instead of asking, “Why me?” he said, “Indeed, hardship has touched me, and You are the Most Merciful of the merciful.” (Qur’an 21:83). His patience became his strength. His pain became his test. And his faith became his cure. Remember, when life feels unbearable, stay patient — because the same Lord who healed Ayub can heal you too.

Dunia ni sekejap. Sekejap yang teramat sangat.

Lepas mati, baru bermula hari yang sangat panjang. Menunggu kiamat di kubur dan hisab di mahsyar.

Sebelum kita ke Syurga atau Neraka.

Hari ni kalau diuji, semua tu sementara. Balasan akhirat nanti, lama yang tiada pengakhirannya!

[Faisal Rahim @acaiijawa]

Muslim yang baik itu hidupnya teratur.

Ada waktu untuk bekerja, ada masa bersama keluarga, dan ada masa khusus untuk tuhannya.

Ada disiplin dan teratur mengurus masanya. Semua berada dalam kawalannya.

Hidup dengan tujuan jelas.

Ya Allah, Yang menurunkan Al-Qur’an, Yang pantas perhitungannya; Ya Allah, hancurkanlah pasukan musuh; Ya Allah, hancurkanlah mereka dan goncangkanlah mereka.

What will your baby remember about infancy?

I was so touched by the caption that mckynlee.mckell used to accompany this video shared to IG: “These little moments that they won’t remember, but I’ll never forget.”

And it’s true… at least in part.

At birth, babies brains are brimming with potential, but still only hinting at the processing power they’ll soon possess.

Among the structures yet to fully mature is the hippocampus, which helps to convert short-term memories into their long term counterparts. When you combine this immaturity with our initial lack of language (among other factors), the result is a phenomenon known as infantile amnesia.

Put simply, few if any of us retain detailed long-term memories of infancy into adulthood. At least not in the traditional sense.

But there’s something happening in this video that this little one is incorporating into something far more lasting: a sense of self.

When we are loved deeply by highly engaged, responsive caregivers we form secure attachments. We learn that the world is safe and that our needs will be met. And this undergirds our longterm mental health.

We may not recollect every moment, but on whole our nervous systems do. And these loving interactions play a key role in who we will become.

So give all the kisses. And have all the talks. How we remember may be limited (when compared to adult forms) but that doesn’t make these interactions any less impactful.

Sexual Tarbiyah is part of Islamic parenting. It’s not shame, it’s protection.

The Evil eye is real. Not everyone is truly happy seeing your happiness. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said it’s worse than black magic! As it could kill a person.

Cukup dengan renungi kata-kata Ibn Mas’ud ini:

“من جعل الهموم هماً واحداً همَّ آخرته، كفاه الله هم دنياه، ومن تشعبت به الهموم في أحوال الدنيا لم يبال الله في أي أوديتها هلك”

Maksudnya: “Sesiapa yang menjadikan segala kebimbangannya hanya satu iaitu kebimbangan terhadap akhiratnya, nescaya Allah akan mencukupkan urusan dunianya.

Dan sesiapa yang bercabang-cabang kebimbangannya pada urusan dunia, nescaya Allah tidak peduli di lembah mana pun dia binasa.”

i think we were meant to live slower than this. to grow tomatoes. to take afternoon walks. to cry without apologizing for it. to be bad at things and still do them. we weren’t designed for constant achievement. we were meant for moments. small, soft, nothing-special moments that somehow mean everything.
