What’s Black, White, and Red All Over?

Assalam Alaykum,

A few days ago (okay, maybe more than a few), I promised sisters on my mailing list that I’d be sending out something I’ve been working on as a gift to them.  Well, that something is completed and I really had fun finishing it, alhamdullilah.

What is it, you ask?  It’s literally:  Black, White, and Red:  A Decision Book

Oftentimes I’m asked to give naseeha (or advice) to sisters in tough situations and I’m weary of doing so because while it is human nature to have an opinion about something, it’s also important to realize that there are two sides to a story and trying to impart judgement is not always our place to do.  In any case, I believe that when someone is asking for advice, they instinctively know what they should (or should NOT) do but for whatever reason, they’re having trouble making the decision to act (or not act). 

It’s all about the decision making process – and in this visual book, I set out to help the reader do just that – make decisions. 

Now, while I did finish this a few days ago – I’ve had trouble deciding how to go about distributing it.  It’s a really big file (because of the high quality photos) - and couldn’t be uploaded here. 

I sent people on the mailing list (those who’ve added their email address to the queen of Sheba march at the bottom of sidebar to your right hand side) a link to download it – but it’ll only be available for 7 days. 

Now, if you want it and you haven’t received it, you can add your name there – and if there is enough new names I can send it out again after 7 days. 

If you don’t want to add your email address there, I totally understand because I sort of dislike mailing lists myself and am a proponent of the “UN-Mailing List” and don’t even use this one very often, but I grudgingly will admit that it can come in handy on the rare occasion when you have something beneficial to say or give away.    So, you’ll never have to worry about me overburdening your inbox – I’m really weary of doing that to others because I know how annoying it is when it’s done to me.  Yes, I’m defying convention I know – part of the “trust your gut” decision making process

So, it’s up to you – add your address or not and regardless, I’m going to explore other ways of getting it to you inshaAllah.  

In the meantime, if you do get your hands on it, feel free to download and share with others who might like it.  If you don’t get your hands on it, feel free to ask  others who might have gotten it to share one with you

May all your decisions be fruitful in this life and the next andbring you closer to Allah – Ameen.   Happy decision making!

Keep me in your duas,

Heba
