When they laughed at me...

This happened yesterday, when I told them why I wanna study in khassah. I just continue and continue till the time when they asked me what is my mission in khassah till I’m willing to sacrifice my dream to study journalism. Well there are already KLMU and KUIS for me to catch my dream, but I decided to leave it for a while and go to khassah first. So I say, I wanna run for my mission before anything else. Cuz for me, my mission is thousands of times more important than my dream. Then, THEY LAUGHED AT ME!!!

Know what? That really, really hurts me. Well of course, I can forgive them for laughing at me. But hey…. I will never forget how they just laughed at me as if I was telling them a funny story. I WILL NEVER FORGET IT TILL I DIE. Hey, don’t you remember… ‘to err is human’. Yes, everybody makes mistake but do remember that everybody CAN change.

“God Himself does not propose to judge man until the end of his day, so why should the humans do that?” Dr. Johnson (Psychologist of United State) Taken from a book, ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ by Dale Carnegie.

Allah, I know You are there for me. You know, if not because of Your help, I’ve give up right now. Allah, I need Your help….. Please show me a way, where I suppose to go and what I suppose to do. Please Allah, help me.

You’ve left us in The Quran, Al-Anbiya’: 83-84 [And when Ayob cried to his Lord, “Verily, distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy.” So We answered his call, and We removed the distress that was on him….. ] So Allah, You’ll help me too right?

To my sister, Kak Syafiyah Adzhar… You know I love you so much. You helped me and understand me a lot. Thanks… You are really my forever sister.

To Kak Maisarah Azmi and Kak Mazniha Berahim, thank you for your advice. Don’t worry, sis… I’ll remember it always, inshaAllah…

To my friends, Iffah Hanna, Imtisal, Afiqah, Basyirah, Syahirah, Iman, Naiemah, Fatinah, Fatimah, Aisyah and others… thanks for always understanding me when I have nobody. You’ve gave me some strength to be more confident for studying in khassah. Thank you… Hey you guys, try don’t stop supporting me in my life, okay? Cuz I need all of you. I love you all lillah, inshaAllah… Hope we’ll be friends forever. Ameen…

Don't give up...

Praise be to my Lord... The Most Understanding, The Most Wonderful...

This post is dedicated to everyone especially me.

In this world that surrounds us, we sometimes brake down and fall. We try to fight in this world that always seems to fight us back. We’ll hide away in corners and put upon ourselves pain. We have to know this: There’s no escape from this life cuz we all must face something that suffer. Although we may struggle… then, we fall and fall, Allah will stand by our side and He’ll stay with us through those damn difficult moments. He is your shoulder to cry on and He’ll ALWAYS be around you.

Do remember that no ones perfect and everybody will have to face something hard. But anything can be done with a little faith and hope, right? Hey… I can promise that it WILL get better. Just stop giving up your life. Continue your life doing the best you can do. Allah will help you. Believe it…

You are stronger than you think, so remember to stand tall. Do note that every challenge in your life helps you to grow. Every problem you encounter strengthens your mind and your soul. Every trouble you overcome increases your understanding of life. When all your troubles weigh heavily on your shoulders, remember that beneath the burden you can stand tall, because you are never given more than you can handle... and you are stronger than you think

“Believe in Allah and Rasulullah, and you strive hard and fight for Allah with your wealth and lives, that is better for you if you know.”The Quran (As-Saff: 11)

For we all suffer sometimes in our lives. Some of us suffer loss, others from the feeling of being different. There are so many things that bring us down. Some sit in their rooms and just cry and pray for a better life, some of us can’t handle things and reach for the knife. Whatever makes you depressed, no matter how down you feel, how close to giving up you get, don’t!!!

Hold on, be strong, there is always someone out there who cares for you. Life has it’s up and downs, and one day, it’ll look up for you too. If you need someone to turn to, Allah is there all the time :D.

O Allah, do help us to face this life. You are the best….

Du'a

In The Name of Allah, The Most Gracious The Most Merciful. He is the one who never ever forget to guide the humans in their lives though they always forget to be with Him (obey His order).

With His love, He sent us something as the guidance for His slaves and that is the du’a. Du’a is something very important in the muslims life. Why not? Du’a is the weapon for us. And it is the bond of the relationship between the Lord and His servants. So, it is absolutely not good if we stop praying to Allah. If we stop praying, we’ll lose Allah’s blessing. So, let’s raise our hands and du’a to the end.

And your Lord said: “Invoke Me, (i.e. believe in My Oneness (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation), Verily, those who scorn My Worship, they will surely live n hell in humiliation!” (The Quran: Ghafir: 60)

Praise be to our Lord…

There is no such thing of simple life. Everything in life is tough and NOBODY will face it successfully EXCEPT those who believe (mukminun). Cuz the believers always bring their faith no matter where they are. Those who have faith means they have connection with Allah so they’ll refer (du’a) everything to the Al-Mighty in everything they are facing. But know what?? Absolutely Allah loves the mukmins who pray for their selves AND the others than those who pray only for themselves. So, besides praying for ourselves, why not we pray for others? The key to get du’as from many people and many angels is from making du’a for other muslims.

Whenever you make a du’a for other muslims without their knowledge, the angel will say ‘and the same to you.’

“The du’a that Allah answered faster is the one that made by one muslim for another in his absence.”(Abu Dawud & Tarmizi)

But do remember this...

The Prophet (saws) has said in a Hadith narrated by Abu Hurayrah: Make Du’a and be assured of being answered, and know that Allah does not answer a Du’a from a careless heart, which is not concentrating.

And Allah knows everything…

Oh Allah...

"A strong woman is the one who fells deeply, and loves fiercely. Her tears flow just as abundantly as her smile. A strong woman is both soft and powerful, she is both practical and spiritual. A strong woman in her essence is gift to the whole world"
(From FAQ site)

Praise be to You, Allah…

O Allah... I really wanted to be strong. But Allah.. I cannot be as powerful as I wanted without Your help. Without You, I have nothing cuz You are EVERYTHING. Please Allah, I need Your help.

O Allah... If I cry, please let me cry for You. If I smile, please let me smile for You. If I'm happy, please let me be happy for You. If I am disappointed, please let me be it with You.

O Allah... I'm begging You. No matter what, please do not let me stop helping others. Well, You just let me know that the key to be happy is by helping people. And yes, it is. So please, don't ever let me stop lending my hands for others. I wanted to be a strong lady so I really do hope You'll let me. Please Allah...

Allah.... for the clouds You've gave us, for the stars You've lend to us, for the wealth You've bestowed on us, for the life You’ve conferred for us, for the enjoyable You’ve passed on us, for the breath You've handed over us, for the night sky You've decorated it to make us smile again, for the people You’ve let us know no matter who they are, for the love You’ve overflowed to take place as Your guidance, for everything You’ve gave us ‘til we couldn’t tell, thanks for all of it.

Allah knows best

Allah knows what's best for us
So why should we complain?
We always want the sunshine
But He knows there must be rain
We always want the laughter
And the merriment of cheer
But our hearts loose their tenderness
If we never shed a tear
Allah tests us often
With suffering and with sorrow
He tests us not to punish us
But to help us meet tomorrow
For growing trees are strengthened
If they withstand the storm
And the sharpness of the chisel
Gives the marble grace and form
Allah tests us often
And for every bit of pain
Provided we are patient
Is followed by rich grain
So whenever we are down
And everything is going wrong
It is just Allah's way
To make our spirit strong

I just wanna share this poem with everybody who lose hope in their life. Well maybe, including me. Come on, just believe this.... What happened to us is just for our goodness. Of course, it is not what we call life if there is no test. So, learn to be strong to face it.

Do people think that they will be left because they say: "We believe (in Allah)," and will not be tested? (The Quran, Al- 'Ankaboot: 2)

You see, everybody in this world will be tested and of course the muslims will be tested the most. Having those damn tribulation doesn't mean that Allah didn't love us but that is one of the prove that shows He cares about us.

Things aren’t always as they seem. Ummu Musa was told to throw her son in the river, Prophet Yusuf was left for dead in a well, Maryam delivered a child alone, Aishah was accused of a terrible sin, Prophet Yunus was swallowed by a whale, Prophet Ibrahim was thrown in the fire, Prophet Muhammad SAW lost the love of his life Khadijah, and Ummu Salamah thought no one could be better than Abu Salamah. (Peace be upon them all). Yet look at how it turned out for them in the end... So don’t worry, Allah has a plan for you. Just put your trust in Him so you'll be ok. Insha-Allah...

Lastly, Allah knows everything.

Who He loves?

I read something beautiful on an Islamic Q & A site last night, somebody asked how do we know when Allah loves us and is pleased with us, what are the signs? Obviously it caught my attention and I went on reading, it is great to know there are some signs that we can look for to know if Allah is pleased with us or not. So, I am going to share it with you here in my blog. Actually, this is the straight answer from the Islamic Q & A site. I just hope we together will read it and take it to our life. Insha-Allah…

Praise be to Allah.

Among the signs that the Lord is pleased with His servant is that He guides him to do good deeds and avoid haram things. This is proved by the words of Allah:

“While as for those who accept guidance, He increases their guidance and bestows on them their piety” [Muhammad: 17]

“As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely guide them to Our paths (i.e. Allah’s religion — Islamic Monotheism)” [al-‘Ankaboot: 69]

But if a person is hindered from doing good deeds and avoiding haram things, then that is a sign that Allah is not pleased with him. Allah has also explained in His Book that the sign of His being pleased with His slave and of His guidance is that He opens his heart to true guidance and true faith.

And the sign of misguidance and being far from the Straight Path is distress and constriction in the heart. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And whomsoever Allah wills to guide, He opens his heart to Islam; and whomsoever He wills to send astray, He makes his heart closed and constricted, as if he is climbing up to the sky. Thus Allah puts the wrath on those who believe not” [al-An’ am: 125]

Ibn 'Abbas said, commenting on this verse: “And whomsoever Allah wills to guide…” He opens his heart to tawheed and belief therein.Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 2/175

Another sign of Allah’s love for His slave and His being pleased with him is that He makes him beloved to His slaves. Al-Bukhaari (3209) and Muslim (2637) narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet Muhammad said:

“When Allah loves a person, He calls out to Jibreel: ‘Allah loves So and so,’ so Jibreel loves him. Then Jibreel calls out to the people of heaven, ‘Allah loves So and so, so love him.’ So the people of heaven love him and he finds acceptance on earth.”

Al-Nawawi said: “and he finds acceptance on earth” means that people love him and are pleased to see him, so their hearts incline towards him. It says in another report: “and he finds love on earth.”

And Allah knows best.
