it is feared that Allah will test him

by delaying him from all avenues of goodness."

Everyday looking the same when you're just inside hiding from a heatwave :D

Started a new book I randomly stumbled upon on the app, it had a mention from Alice Oseman in the cover so that's a good indicator. It's called Sydän vasta puolillaan and it's hitting the right spot of, it's decently interesting for a children's book and I'm not dying of boredom, but at the same time the level is just challenging enough while I'm still able to understand quite a bit. Gonna be sad to have to go again on the searching quest once I'm done with it

-> 40 min reading & vocab

I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.

And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”

And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”
