“Finding Peace in Gratitude”


Hi everyone! 💕


I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your love, support, and kindness. The past few years, especially during the corona virus pandemic, have been challenging, but they have also helped me appreciate the beauty of life. Alhamdulillah, I feel blessed with an amazing family, strong faith, and a heart full of love for Allah.


For a long time, I struggled with negative thoughts, focusing on what I lacked—a job, a partner, or my master’s degree. Recently, I've come to realize how much that mindset drained my spirit. I have already accomplished so much, and I am grateful for it. Alhamdulillah, I graduated from Nassau with an associate degree in Liberal Arts and Human Services, and later earned my bachelor’s in Psychology and Sociology. I'm not sharing this to boast, but as a reminder to myself that I have been guided, loved, and blessed every step of the way.


Life is short, and this world is temporary. What truly matters are our good deeds, patience, and trust in Allah. The pandemic taught me how precious time is and that happiness doesn’t stem from material possessions—it comes from faith, gratitude, and peace within our hearts.


I've learned that happiness isn't just a fleeting feeling; it’s a conscious choice. It’s about finding meaning in your journey and creating your own joy through kindness and purpose. I acknowledge that mental illness is real, and I never deny its impact. However, I firmly believe that faith, love, and self-belief can help us build strength and light even in the darkest moments.


InshaAllah, I aspire to become a social worker, secure a fulfilling job, and find someone who truly loves and understands me. Everything happens at the right time, and I won’t give up on my dreams.


Most importantly, I've learned to cherish the right things—my relationship with Allah and the people who encourage growth, positivity, and truth. True love means showing up, making time for one another, and caring sincerely. If someone truly loves you, they will check on you and help you feel valued.


I know I deserve happiness, and I am proud of who I am. Alhamdulillah, I am happy, grateful, and committed to using my words and my heart to make a positive difference in this world. 🌷they will check on you and help you feel valued.

Refuge and education

  Subject: Article Submission on Refugee Education Hi Fauzia and Narjice, Thank you for publishing my previous article on inequality in education. I appreciate your support and would like to submit another piece focused specifically on the educational challenges faced by refugees. **Bridging the Gap: Education for Refugees** As the world grapples with the effects of conflict and displacement, education for refugees has emerged as a pressing need. Millions of children and youth are living in limbo, and their right to education is often compromised. Providing them with access to quality education is not just a moral obligation; it is essential for their future and for the stability of societies impacted by displacement. **The Crisis of Displacement** Refugees often flee their homes due to violence, persecution, and war. In many cases, they are forced to leave behind their education, friends, and familiar surroundings. When they arrive in host countries, they face numerous challenges:...

The Syria humanitarian Criss

  Islamophobia Adds to he Syrian Refugee Crisis  Racism has been reflected in discriminatory laws, practices, and actions (including violence) against racial or ethnic groups throughout the history of the United States. Since the early colonial era, White Americans have generally enjoyed legally or socially-sanctioned privileges and rights that have been denied to members of various ethnic or minority groups. European Americans have enjoyed advantages in matters of citizenship, criminal procedure, education, immigration, land acquisition, and voting rights. Before 1865, most African Americans were enslaved; since the abolition of slavery, they have faced severe restrictions on their political, social, and economic freedoms. Native Americans have suffered genocide, forced removals, and massacres, and they continue to face discrimination. European Americans, Hispanics, Middle Eastern, and Asian Americans, along with Pacific Islanders, have also been the victims of discrimination...

My soul

 Helping others through social work is one of my deepest goals and passions. From a young age, I have felt called to advocate for people whose voices are often overlooked. Living with cerebral palsy has shaped this commitment by teaching me the power of independent self‑advocacy—communicating one’s needs, ideas, and values respectfully and confidently to the world. Through my experiences, I have learned that while physical limitations may exist, the strength of one’s voice can create meaningful change. I first realized I wanted to become a social worker at the age of fifteen, when I mediated a family conflict between my aunt and uncle that had escalated into a two‑hour argument. Although I could not physically intervene, I used my voice to help each of them feel heard and to understand the other’s perspective. That experience was transformative. I understood that I would never be someone who stands idly by when others are in distress. It also taught me that advocating for myself em...
