10 Things 20-Somethings Should Give Up Doing To Thrive In Life - By Mike Oppland

Your twenties are a time of self-discovery and trying to figure out what you want out of life. Many 20-somethings are finishing up college and university studies or are embarking on such studies. Most 20-somethings are determining what they want to be in life, and what kind of life they want to live. In the process it is easy to develop useful and helpful habits that will last you for the rest of your life. Whether you are studying in school or working a full-time job, you will learn necessary life skills such as time management, organization, and leadership. Skills like these can only be cultivated when you are independent and on your own, which is what many 20-somethings experience after “flying the coup” they have been accustomed to for many years. Concurrently this is also a time where you develop not so useful habits and activities. Being out on your own offers you a freedom unlike any you have ever had. Your 20-somethings is the perfect time for you to explore...

Our Personal Hells (By: Ubah)

 “Sins need to be eradicated through the internal fire of regret in this life or the fire of hell in the hereafter.” – Ibn Al-Qayyim Years ago I came across thisquote. I still can’t get over how true it is.   Muslim youth living in all corners of the world face similar struggles in our day-to-day lives. We strive to survive while being surrounded by the societal (and often times, cultural and familial) promotion, acceptance, and idealization of things that contradict the tenants of our faith: pride, lust, greed, extramarital relationships, alcohol/drugs, misogyny – just to name a few. We are also surrounded by social practices and traditions that can also be pretty un-Islamic: issues such as racism, forced marriages, the withholding of education for females, and tribalism unfortunately exist on grand scales in Muslim societies all over the world. As Muslim youth, most of us living in the diaspora, we have much to deal with. We struggle to maint...

Don't chase people. Be yourself ... ~ Will Smith

“Don’t chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing, and work hard.  The right people… the ones who really belong in your life, will come to you. And stay.” ~Will Smith

If I had to select one quality and ...

If I had to select one quality and one personal characteristic that I regard as being most highly correlated with success, whatever the field, I would pick persistence and determination. The will to endure to the end, to get knocked down seventy times and get up off the floor saying, "Here comes number seventy one".   - Richard M. Devos

13 Things Mature Men Don’t Do (By: Ivan Dimitrijevic)   It seems that we as a society have forgotten some important values, and are generally becoming more immature as a result. There doesn’t seem to be a differentiation between manliness and egocentric chauvinist behavior in a lot of people’s minds, which is truly sad. You have people saying things like 30 is the new 20, and grown men acting like entitled spoiled children. The truth is that once you’ve stepped into your mid-20s you should have gained enough life experience to be able to behave like a mature adult. The thing is, few young people – Continue Reading »

Unlock the Treasures of Tranquility (By: Hiba Khan)

I am easily distracted. This trait was a hindrance throughout my academic studies, but no doubt the area in which it is most detrimental is my worship. My daily prayers are plagued by thoughts that creep into my consciousness and silently grip my mind and heart, steering them away from Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala (exalted is He). Be it the pattern on my prayer mat or a task I have to do, there is always something diverting me from the most important moments of my day. I write this as a reminder to myself, on attempting to rescue my salah (ritual prayers), a most exquisite and sublime gift from Allah (swt). A nourishment, rejuvenation and refocusing for our souls, and the first thing we will be asked about on the Day of Judgement. These windows of tranquillity have the potential to adorn our days and sustain, protect and fill our hearts amidst the transient whirlwind that is this world. We hear of people finishing one salah only to look forward to the next one, so wh...

Digital Clubbing: A sign of underlying disease

The term digital clubbing is used to describe an enlargement of the distal segments of the fingers. The toes also may be affected by clubbing. Clubbing may be hereditary, but more often it is a sign of underlying disease. Clubbing is associated with a variety of pulmonary diseases, including idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, lung cancer, bronchiectasis,lung abscess, and cystic fibrosis. Nonpulmonary conditions that may be accompanied by clubbing include cyanotic congenital heart disease, infective endocarditis, inflammatory bowel disease, and cirrhosis.

The Schamroth sign can be used in the detection of clubbing. This sign is elicited by placing the dorsal surfaces of the terminal phalanges on opposing fingers together (Figure 2).
