inspired by something I came across ages ago… DD18 and I sat down together and devised a list of commandments that would not only benefit us, and our relationship with Allah ta’ala but which would also have a knock on effect and benefit those around us, we’re feeling pretty positive at the moment masha’allah and wanted to try it with an Islamic slant insha’allah…. a way, not only to try and obtain an understanding of what makes us happy but also how our state of happiness affects our relationship with Allah ta’ala and vice versa…
