MSA MemberS of the Week

Name: Nabila Ikram
What is your biggest fear? I have a lot of "big" fears, from pills, to escalators, to more abstract things :)
What is your first thought when you wake up in the morning? My to-do-list for the day.
What is your favorite Hadith and why? "On the authority of Abdullah bin Abbas, who said, 'One day I was behind the Prophet and he said to me, 'Young man, I shall teach you some words [of advice]: Be mindful of Allah and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find him in front of you. If you ask, ask Allah; if you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you with anything, it would benefit you only with something that Allah had already prescribed for you, and if they gather together to harm you with anything, they would harm you only with something Allah had already prescribed for you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried." This is my favorite Hadith because it states the basics of life; everything is is Allah's control and it's good to always keep that in mind during good and bad times. Whatever is meant to happen will happen.
Do you prefer books or movies and why? Depends on what kind of movie they are...but generally, books. Books are a lot more detailed and can have a bigger impact on you because you're using your own imagination and interpretations to understand them.
What accomplishment are you most proud of? Everything Allah has enabled me to accomplish, Alhamdulillaah, as well as the lessons I have learned from things that I haven't accomplished.
