Just a reminder 
Good Deeds are Sadaqah
Hadrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hadrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him) as saying, "Every act of kindness is sadaqah." (Bukhari and Muslim.)
I've come across some great words from Imam Shafi'i and thought I'd share some.
Feel free to add quotes/stories
[color=peru]All humans are dead except those who have knowledge;
and all those who have knowledge are asleep,
except those who do good deeds;
and those who do good deeds are decieved ,
except those who are sincere;
and those who are sincere are always in a state of worry. [/color]
A young man came to a shaykh and said "I am a young man with strong desires. I cannot help looking at people when I am in the bazaar. What do I do?"
The shaykh handed him a cup of milk that was full to the brim, and told him to deliver it to an address that would take the young man directly through the bazaar.
He then instructed the young man that the milk should not spill. The shaykh then summoned one of his students, and told him to accompany the man through the bazaar to the destination, and to severely beat him if any milk were to spill. This man successfully took the milk to the destination and returned to give the good news to the shaykh.

Eid Mubarak to one and all (whether you celebrate today or tomorrow). Ramadan was a month where we insha Allah got closer to Allah swt. For our ibaadah, our sabr and our effort to overcome our desires Allah has rewarded us with this blessed day. Subhanallah!
Let this be a day where we continue to show our gratitude to Allah swt. Let it not be a day where we incurr Allah's anger and wrath.
May Allah bless you and your family. Have a great Eid
The days of Ramadhan have whizzed past, and everyday has seemed to go much much quicker....
So I was thinking about the start of the month and how i was really excited about the upcoming month and how i had planned to do soooooo much during this month...
But todays its the 29th of Ramadhan and i have decided to make a list of things i have achieved over this month, and see if i've kept my resoultions...
I went doc today, and came back with "everything fine". realised i wasnt so happy about this then caught myself in that state and told myself off.
We need to wake up from this "oh, this useless doc didnt give me anything/oh! he said im fine and ive got nothing wrong" etc...
The doc is the doc and he/she knows what he/she is doing (...)
If we're fine, then we should say ALHAMDOULILLAH, thank Allah for this health so many people around us dont have.
not getting meds/not being sent to pharmacy/not having "something wrong" are blessings. lets keep that in mind and stop thinking we've got something wrong, (and feeling annoyed/upset/angry) when we're told we haven't.
