Post-raya stocktaking

Lots of stock-taking still to be done.
1. Am still in hot standby mode - for the new guy to make his entrance. My prayers that mother and child will make it safely.
2. Post-ramadhan blues - my prayers too that Ramadhan's lessons linger as long as possible. It is part of my rehabilitation of my soul. And, yeah my writing is taking on a more personal angle instead of an onlooker angle. Slight change there, and all reforms begin from the small changes.
3. SWF work - finalising a paper on an approach which focuses both advocacy and repository building simultaneously. I need to angle this right, otherwise potential ramifications, mainly negative will arise.
4. Primaya - small updates required.
5. Personal angst - did a mini-PA, and am taking on initiatives designed to make me more at ease with myself, to create a better environment - bi'ah solehah, overcome feeligns of betrayal by being true to self and finally, to better understand basis of decisions and be firm in my stand. The beautiful ayat of "Intansurullah wan yansur lakum" comes to mind.
Translated by 3 contemporary mufassirin as below:
047.007
YUSUFALI: O ye who believe! If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly. PICKTHAL: O ye who believe! If ye help Allah, He will help you and will make your foothold firm.
SHAKIR: O you who believe ! if you help (the cause of) Allah, He will help you and make firm your feet.
btw, PA definition centred upon -the feeling of insecurity, low self-esteem and vulnerability, arising out of uncertainty, lack of guidance and feeling of unmet aspirations, resulting in unease and feeling of betrayal with and to self.
