1:5 Fatiha – Outsource it
My daily diary, thanks to the Quran. Surah Fatiha, verse 5 where it struck me to outsource it. I realised I can just give it away if it’s too much for me to handle. Huge.

1:6 Fatiha – The best of His people, what I really want to be!
Diary of my life alongside the Quran, surah Fatiha, verse 6 where all I can think of is that I want to be the best of His people and surrounded by the best of His people. Thank God, that I know how to ask Him for that, at the very least.

1:7 Fatiha – Cool people are overrated
Diary, Quran Surah Fatiha, verse 7 where the idea of cool people all comes together for me on a daily basis. All Muslims in their prayers, say this surah at least 17 times per day. It helped me to determine who the cool people were, and who weren’t.

2:1 – Bakarah – Trust the truth
Journal. Quran, Surah Baqarah, verse 1. When something is sent directly by God, don’t fool yourself into thinking it doesn’t make sense. Trust the truth.

2:2 Baqarah – Your own treasure chest

2:5 Baqarah – Sound ideology, what to know
Diary. Quran, surah Baqarah, v 5. I know one thing for sure, if I wasn’t taught about sound ideology, I wouldn’t be here. It is the single most important thing.

2:6 Baqarah – Definitely not your guru, even the coolest
Journal. Quran surah Baqarah, verse 6. If you don’t believe, someone will come along and give make you believe that you should give them power. Though he is definitely not your guru, you will believe he is. When you don’t care to see what powers the Quran can teach you, then someone will come along and take power from you.

2:7 Baqarah – Clueless in Life. How come I don’t get it?
Journal. Quran, surah Baqarah, verse 7. Being clueless in life can be challenging. It’s not that big of a mystery why we are where we are. We asked for it.

2:8 Baqarah – The key to success, is clear
Diary. Quran, surah Baqarah, verse 8. A key to success is understanding the alpha state. It helps you to really get closer to achieving your desires.

2:9 Baqarah – Fooling Ourselves, Intense
We’ve all been fooling ourselves from time to time. Imagine thinking that you can deceive Allah?

2:10 Baqarah – Not even a white lie
Many think that a small lie, which you may refer to as a “white lie”, is ok. If one deems it harmless, one has made it permissible. But where is this qualification by Allah? Later we will learn that if it actually will save a life, then it is advisable.

2:11 Baqarah – Take Power, Become Powerful
In the quest to become powerful, people often believe they are bringing positive change with their actions. But is it actually destroying them?

2:12 Baqarah – Spreading corruption is not your thing
This one scares me. So anyone could be spreading corruption and not realise it.

2:13 Baqarah – Building Your Criteria with Sound Ideology
When it comes to building your criteria, I learned the hard way that it’s so easy to get confused these days. All it takes is to talk to a few different people, listen to the news, and watch a program here and there. And of course, follow intently those that we deem as “super smart” in our family or friends – can be trouble!

2:14 Baqarah – Belonging at any cost
Alia’s daily diary. When I read in the Quran, surah Baqarah, verse 14, it resonated that for many it’s tough when they long for belonging. And to some, when it really matters and they absolutely have to fit in, they will do or say anything for acceptance. That feeling of being judged for not being like them can make one feel excluded and alone.

2:15 Baqarah – Making A Mockery Of Yourself
Making a mockery of yourself is when we think we are being smart, but it’s obvious we’re so stupid. Even if you get away with it, God knows what you are really doing. You are either just going along with it to please others. Or you’ve fooled yourself enough to believe it, when deep down you know it is false.

Baqarah 2:16 – An Otherwise Good Life
When it comes to living the good life, know that there’s a price for not putting the truth at the forefront of all we do. If we are not interested in seeking the truth, and if we are only interested in whatever will conveniently fit into our life and what we want to do, then we must be prepared to lose.
