Hi there! I make candles for my business. Just wanted to tell you that you need to affix the bottom end of your wick on the jar and to make sure that the wick is centered. This way, when the candle is lit, the flame is not warming up the side of the jar, which will cause it to crack. The candles with potpourri are very beautiful! Just know that this is an extreme fire hazard and should just stay as a decor. That said, I loved your DIY enthusiasm and your love for thrifting! 💖

Hi, can you pls let me know if adding dried flowers are safe ?? Won't they burn down and leave a burning smell and black ashes from it.

@@Beanny09 Hi! Some candle makers do this but they only add in a few petals to the side of the jar/vessel. For me personally, I wouldn't add anything in it because it's just a hazard that I do not want to risk. Hope that helps!

I have been making candle since 3 years. And a little advice for Pillar candles, make a roll of parchment or wax paper and try to get it inside your cardboard roll with glueing . Glue more wax paper to the base. Also leave around 1 inch paper on the top of the roll then u stick base and roll with sticking the parchment inside the roll.

I love your video its so good to see peoples mistakes as it really helps others.....:)

Definitely I gonna try this 💗

@@Jaypawfan1 Hi Lauren well you can make a nature base candle and heres who. 1. Use a soy wax or coconut wax. 2. Try a wood wick versus a cotton wick. The wood wick will give the candle a more natural look and they crackle which is kinda cool. 3. You can use small crystals like rose quartz or amethyst. 4. You can place a small amount of dried chopped flowers on top along the edge of the jar. A small pinch will make a difference. A combination of crystals and dried flowers will give your candle the look I think you're looking for. I love making candles and I encourage you to give it a try making your own candles. Remember to always test your candles in a safe area and never leave unattended. Check Facebook for candle groups and join to get better information on how to make a candle. You can also check Candle Science and Wooden Wick Co for supplies and video's. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. Mike @ crescentmoonandsuncandles

Islam The Complete Religion A-The Islamic Creed and Beliefs Islam is the path to pleasing God and for salvation in the next life, for Islam is the clear and final message that God conveyed to humanity. 1-Islam is to believe in One Lord: Allah the Most High, the Living, the Most Great, the most Merciful. Allah has no equals and nothing is like Him. Allah was not birthed and did not birth, and the entire world is under His power and dominion. 2-Islam is to believe in the existence of Angels, peace be with them. 3-Islam is to believe in all the Messengers and Prophets like Abraham, Moses, and Jesus, peace be with them. 4-Islam is to believe in all the divinely-inspired books that these Messengers and Prophets received. The Qur’an is Islam’s eternal miracle which God promised to preserve. As a result of that, all Muslims, young and old, read the same Qur’anic text worldwide, without the slightest variation even in a single letter. 5-Islam is to believe in the Last Day, when people will be brought back to life. 6-Islam is also to believe that all the good and bad that come is part of what Allah has destined. B-Islamic Practice Islam calls for the best in actions and deeds, reflecting the fulfillment of complete servitude and obedience to God and the refinement of human nature. 1-You accept Islam by saying the testimony: I bear witness that there is no one worthy of worship except Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and messenger. 2-You perform five daily prayers, with the necessary physical cleanliness and ablution. 3-You pay the annual Zakah, which is a small charity given to the poor and needy. 4-You fast the days of the month of Ramadan every year. 5-And if you are able to, you travel on pilgrimage to Makkah once in your life time. C-Principles that Islam Establishes 1-Islam and the Liberation of the Mind True belief in God is consistent with reason, while also inconsistent with polytheistic beliefs and the worshipping of idols, statues, the stars, and the devils and all that is connected to them such as witchcraft, fortune-telling, and other harmful acts. And though the Qur’an is a book of guidance, it also contains miraculous insights and information about the universe, astronomy, embryology, mountains, and various other creations. Islam opened the doors wide for scientific advancement and the Arabs moved soon after accepting Islam to create the biggest and leading civilization in the world. They only retreated from such advanced positions when they let go of much of their religion. 2-Islam and Human Advancement Islam commands the preservation of the five human essentials: religion, life, the mind, honor, and wealth. With these protected, the Muslim can live a peaceful life, working for this life and the one to come after death, and the Muslim community lives like a solid block, connected and supportive of its members. This can only happen when these five essentials are protected from harm. Islam also promoted advancements in several aspects of human life. There is no difference between people of different races and colors except though piety. Islam even called for the good treatment of non-Muslims whoever they may be, for there is reward in the good that we do to any living being. Islam also calls on us to be merciful with the weak and kind to women, children, and the elderly. As for women, Islam gave them their complete rights, including the ownership of property and inheritance, and prohibited their ill-treatment. Women also keep their surnames after marriage in Islam. Islam also encouraged the freedom of slaves and combatted illegitimate slavery. 3-Islam is a Living Religion: Islam is a living religion that promotes optimism and action and shuns pessimism and lethargy. Islam also establishes balance in human life and fulfills human desires while restraining their excesses. So while Islam forbids unrestrained sexual permissiveness it recommends marriage and family life. And when Islam forbids usury it opens the doors wide for charity and easy loans as well as commerce and trade. Islam also recommends athleticism like back horse riding and swimming. You can verify all of this information by reviewing any accurate translation of the Qur’an. English Translation of the Qur’an

That’s true! Why I did not think if that lol 😂

The submission of man to His Creator is the essence of Islam. The name “Islam” is chosen by God (Allah) and not by man. It is the same unifying Message revealed to all the Prophets and Messengers by Allah and which they spread amongst their respective nations. In its Final form it was revealed to Muhammad (Peace & Mercy of Allah be upon him) as a complete Message to whole mankind. The Lord, Allah, is the True and Only Creator that deserves to be worshipped. No worship is worthy of being given to a stone, statue, a cross, a triangle, Khomeini, Farakhan, Eliajahs, Malcom’s X or Y, Ghandi, Krishna, Guru, Buddha, Mahatma, Emperor, Joseph Smith, Sun, Moon (not to that from Korea too!), Light, Fire, rivers, cows, Rama, Temples, Prophets, Messengers (Yes! Muslims do not worship Muhammad-peace be upon him), Saints, Priests, Monks, Movie Stars, Sheiks, etc.!!! All are created beings or things. ALLAH, is the Name of the One True God. His Name is not chosen by man and does not have a number or gender. It is known that Allah is the Name of God in Aramaic, the language of our beloved Prophet Jesus and a sister language of Arabic. The Name “Allah” has been used by all previous Prophets starting with Adam and by the last and final Prophet, Muhammad (Peace be upon them all). The Innate Nature in man recognizes what is good and bad, what is true and false. It recognizes that the Attributes of Allah must be True, Unique, and All-Perfect. It does not feel comfortable towards any kind of degradation of His Attributes not does it qualities to the Creator. Many who became “discontent with God” did so because of the practices of the Church in medieval Europe and because of the claims of “god dwelling in a son” and the concept of the “original sin”. However, they “escaped” into worshipping a new theory called “mother nature” as well as the “material” World. With the advancement of materialistic technology others from different religions adopted the concept of “forgetting about God” and “let us live this life and enjoy it!”, not realizing that they have chosen the worship of the “original god” of Rome: Desire!. NOW we can see that all of this materialistic and secular progress produced a spiritual vacuum that led to complex social, economical, political, and psychological problems. Many of those who “fled” their “religions” are in search again. Some try to “escape” the complexity of their daily lives via various means. Those who had the chance to examine the Qur’an and Islam, proceed with a complete way of life that relates man to establish a purpose for his presence on earth. This is well recognized in the Attributes of Allah and what does He require from man. He does not want man to be enslaved to any false deity: nature, drugs, lust, money, other man, desire, or sex. He provides man with the proofs that He is the One who can redeem so that man can free himself from the slavery to any form of creation and to turn to his Creator Alone. THIS Creator Has Perfect Attributes. He is the First, nothing is before Him, the Ever Living. To Him is the Final Return where everyone will be dealt with in the Most Perfect and Just way. He does not begot nor He is begotten. Those who attribute Divinity to Jesus forget or ignore the fact that Jesus was in a mother’s womb. He needed nutrition; he was born and grew up to be a man. He was trusted with the Gospel as a Message to the Children of Israel: “For there is One God, and one mediator (i.e. a messenger) between God and men (the Children of Israel), the man Christ Jesus) (I Timothy 2:5). A man-messenger calling his nation not to worship him: “But in vain they do worship me!” (Mathew 15:9). A man who needs to eat, walk, sleed, rest, etc.. cannot have Divine Attributes because he is in need and God (Allah) is Self-Sufficient. AS far as Buddhism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, Marxism, and Capitalism, there is the devotion of worshipping created being/things in one form or another. Jews had attributed a “Nationalistic” belonging to Allah. They labeled Him “The Tribal God” for the Children of Israel. Men and women following these “religions” were born with the natural inclination of submission to their Creator, Allah. It is their parents who had driven them into their respective traditions. However, once people are exposed to the Signs of Allah around them, or in the Qur’an or to someone who triggers thei Fitra (natural inclination to worship Allah Alone), the reverting process begins and that is why we see a universal spreading of Islam. In the West and despite tha many distortions of Islam in the Media, many admit that Islam may be the fastest growing Faith. No sense of fairness can be achieved without a genuine attempt to know the Word of Allah in the Qur’an and not on the 30-min-Evening News. This is the real challenge for those who seek the Truth. Man is created for a purpose: to live a life in accordance with Allah’s way. Why Not? Do we posses the air we breath? Did we create ourselves or others? Or were we ourselves the Creators? We are limited and weak. So is our right to ignore our Creator where we all need Him? ISLAM is the submission in worship to Allah Alone and it is the essence of all the Messages sent to all nations before us. Allah is All-Just and All-Wise. He does not intend confusion for His Creation. The religion accepted to Him is the one chosen by Him. Its essence must be One, because He is One. It is free from geographical, racist, and status oriented concepts. It is Perfect and it is the complete way of life. All these qualities are chosen by Allah in His Only Religion: Islam. Its details are in in the Qur’an, read it and come with an open heart because none can expose better than the World of Allah. The Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Muhammad. He did not author it. He was unlettered. Its translation is available in many languages in bookstores or in an Islamic Center close to you. Take the time to read it and come/call the Islamic Center, or speak to someone who re-verted and submitted to Allah Alone. Prepared by Dr. Saleh As-Saleh
