Others As I entered the elevator, I was still deep in my thoughts when the doors started to shut. I was about to push 20 on the elevator panel, when I saw a large, well-manicured, olive colored hand pop in to stop the door from closing. I was so in my thoughts that I didn’t think to look up to see who had walked in.
I automatically step aside to get closer to the wall next to the numbered panel to let the person in. Still not looking up to see who the well-manicured hand belongs to. When I finally look up, and about to ask what floor, my mouth slightly falls open, when I see this gorgeous man walk in. Yup you guessed it, I am still standing there with my mouth gaping open like some kind of mentally unstable person… I swear I felt some drool start to leak out of the side of my still open flaps I like to call a mouth. I scan his body from head to toe slowly, as he catches me gawking at him like I’m some kind crazed horny creeper that wants to kidnap him and make him their pet. When I realize what I am doing I immediately turn to face the closed elevator doors.
I remember to finally shut my mouth and start fiddling with some invisible lint on my skirt. I have this thing when I get nervous or anxious, I have to do something with my hands, and they immediately start either smoothing out my nonexistent wrinkles on my skirt or picking at invisible lint off my clothes.

سعدية عبد Here are short Islamic poems meant to inspire people and connect them with Allah:
Poem 1: On Allah's Power
When the fire burns in the forest, its destruction brings forth new growth.
When the rain falls from the heavens, its waters quench the dry ground.
When the plants grow from the Earth, their fruits feed the hungry.
Like the fire, Allah makes everything new.
Like the rain, Allah restores the Earth.
Like the plants, Allah provides rizq for His creation.
Fire will blaze, and water will flow, and plants will grow,
and in these things, you will witness Allah and his boundless generosity.
Allah is all-bountiful and all-knowing and showers mercy on his believers.
