Life Changes

Everyone knows that life has a way of passing you by unless you take charge and decide what you are going to do with it. You make Dua and seek guidance and then you take the required action to get what you want. Well after 6 years I have finaly taken the plunge and joined the army!

I can imagine the gasps and ladies fainting...Men trying to remain composed...

It's not that bad and I feel that the army will have so much to offer me that would help me in my life both in my career and my commitment to my Deen.

The army will hopefully build my confidence, my discipline, my fitness level would certanly improve, my leadership skills would be one to contend with and most importantly it will be a great dawa opportunity.

With most of our parents generation this was a normal occurrence as they all had to join the forces for atleast a year when their education was complete and before they joined the work force. This was certanly the case with my own parents and I would like to follow in their foot steps (atleast this is what I am telling them).

I had the interview today and I will need to have another one witht the Field 207 Hospital in few weeks time Inshaallah. The base is next to where I live it turns out. I went all the way to Liverpool to attend this interview and I find out that my base will be a walking distance from me. Alhamdullilah.


All I need to do now is get fit...
