Eid Mubarak. Taqabbal Allahu Minna Wa Minkum (May Allah accept it from you and us). In these blessed days may all pilgrims’ prayers and ours be accepted. May the prayers of all those facing hardships be accepted and I hope they find ease.
The Victoria and Albert Museum have opened a new museum at the London Olympic park in Stratford, East London. It was open for visitors from last week so I went to have a look. The building is an angular unique shape and has galleries exploring creativity and change. I thought that showcasing local history as well as wider influences was cool and overall enjoyed the trip.
This year Ramadan has been a difficult one with so many Muslims in the world in unsafe times. War, famine and occupation has been too present during the sacred month, and now we have reached Eid It will be an unsettling and sad day for many. I pray that Allah accepts our fasts and prayers and showers us with his mercy and blessings. I hope everyone is able to spend the day enjoying time with family and friends, being grateful for everything they have. May those going through hardships find peace and ease soon. Eid Mubarak everyone.
The month of Ramadan has started today for Muslims around the world. We fast from sunrise to sunset. I pray that we can make the most of these special days and that this month is a beneficial one for us all. I especially pray that people that are in hardship find ease in these difficult times, and that we can all look after one another and be generous in giving whatever we can. Ramadan Mubarak.
I took a short trip to Lisbon, the capital of Portugal very recently. Lisbon has the oldest bookshop in the world and is known for being quite hilly and also near the coast. I spent several days there and whilst it was a bit rainy it was still a really nice city to visit. Here are a few snaps, but my favourorite thing was seeing all the tiles on the buildings of various colours and styles.
Today is the last year of 2025. There’s been highs and lows and sadly still too many wars being waged in this world. I pray that next year these come to an end and that people find peace and justice. Here are my favourite photos of 2025. May 2026 be a better one for us all. Happy New Year.
London in Winter really lights up. Oxford street currently has these pretty hanging stars that make the dark, cold nights a little lighter and brighter.
I love the sunny, calm Autumn days that we can get. The crisp air and the blue sky really awaken the senses and make a walk in the park quite wonderful.
Who doesn’t love an umbrella street? This one in Camden town market certainly brightens up the place and perfect for upcoming wet Autumn days.
I love the changing shades of autumn, the reds, oranges and yellows, the colours of fire but without the heat. The ArcelorMittal Orbit in the bright sunlight fits right in with it red exterior.
