walhamdulillahil lathee hadaana lil Islaam - and all praise and thanks is only for Allah, the One who guided us to Islam.
I’d like to say a warm ahlan wa sahlan to my sister in Islam and classmate to the blog! InshaAllah she will be contributing some awesome pieces on the Qur’an.

Nicknames.
They’re funny, sappy or corny, interesting and even secret.

Bismillah.
Alhamdulillah, we now know what hamd is, let’s move on to tasbeeh!
SubhanAllah, He is Absolutely Flawless. The utter beauty, completeness, total negation, absolute perfection and exaltation that is contained in saying those two words completely boggles my mind and I know I cannot do any justice to it. My intention is to give a tiny [...]

Ismul Jalaalah, The Grand Name: Allah الله. This is Allah’s Personal Name. His Identifying Name. This Name only belongs to Allah, no one else can have besides Allah.
