Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.
Salam from Sheffield, Yorkshire. Alhamdulillah I am now able to pursue my Degree in a foreign country. I have to say my first exposure to United Kingdom was... Masya Allah. How great of Allah S.W.T to let His creations build such fine architecture. And Alhamdulillah even, when I thought there would be less Muslims, there are literally a lot of international Muslims in Sheffield. My heart moved when I passed by a woman wearing a hijab - she smiled and whispered "Assalamualaikum". Ya Allah, You are The Greatest.
Currently I am living in a flat with 5 girls. One is from Cyprus, one is from Japan and the other three are home students. And already the first night, I was invited to a party. Astaghfirullahalzhiim. This is another barrier for me to overcome living in a not Islamic country. But Alhamdullilah, the sisters are here :) Praying that there will be a Quranic Circle session soon. There is also one Muslim in my flat. I met her family the second day of my stay and Masya Allah they are so welcoming. Insya Allah I will be able to develop a better relationship with her :)
Until then, please pray for me that I will have to strength and patience to live in this hall :')
