When I Grow Up I Want To….

MuslimSister —

Salaam

I was 10 years old and used to say this a LOT….I’m 22years old now and STILL find myself regularly dropping this line.

I’m sure look forward to a comfortable/successful future. If we didn’t then most of us wouldn’t be in higher education today…

What we want in life id dependent on our financial situation, health, strength of ambition and of course the will of Allah (swt).

I think we should list all our long term/short term plans…

When I “grow up”…

…I want to buy a huge bookshelf that touches the ceiling and fill it up with Islamic books…actually what’d be better if I could have a small room totally dedicated to Islamic study…

….Spend a few years teaching abroad in a poor country…

….After a few years of teaching practice, become a RE Coordinator …

….Decorate every room of my home with the dhikr of Allah (swt)- traditional Islamic Art…

….Travel-visit countries that are rich with Islamic History…..

…..Do a second hajj/Umrah with family…

…and when I’m old, grey and rich(ish) – ready to put my feet up, I want to open a school back home….

Add your own please…

Wasalaam
