Revert Study Circle, by accident

Alhamdulillah, all praises only due to Allah swt, who is The Creator and also The Protector.

Yesterday I intended to go the study circle held by ISOC. However, I never knew that it is specially for the revert,my beloved new muslim sisters,to help strengthen their faith and knowledge and alhamdulillah, it definitely taught me a lot of things. Not mere knowledge but about my own faith.

I envy them, and in my heart I know I am ashamed of myself.

Being a Muslim for only a month, she was able to speak about her faith in Allah swt, deciding about what is best for her life. Accepting that although she has done her researched for awhile about Islam and that its only now that she has decided to recite the syahadah ,truly is a wake up call for me. I know she will be some one ,some one special in HIS eyes.

What about me?

I was borne a Muslim, in an Islamic country, where every one where hijab, azan was publicly loud 5 times a day and yet, I never learn to APPRECIATE ie being THANKFUL. Was that not all that Allah asks from us?

'Why should Allah punish you if you have thanked (Him) and have believed in Him. And Allah is Ever All-Appreciative (of good), All-Knowing.' (An-Nisa:147)

Being thankful is not hard because you do it for LOVE. Just as you love your mother and you wants to show that you treasure her love,what do you do? You try to be a good daughter, follow what she says, give present during her birthday, say that you love her etc and all of these are an ACTION to show your LOVE and that you APPRECIATE her KINDNESS.

Love just is... learn to love HIM by knowing, searching and looking for HIS KINDNESS ie NIKMAT, like what we have always heard, you will never love until you know (direct translation,haha,is there a better one?do share) and with that HIS POWER will help you to ACT accordingly. And believe what He has said in HIS book, this is fitrah, it is in our heart, each of us, you just need to look for it.

Strange for someone who never have any contact with Islam ,can embraces Islam... but why not, it is in our heart, love just is.... (His love that is)


When the night won't fall and the sun won't rise
and you see the best as you close your eyes
when you reach the top as you bottom out
but you understand what it's all about

nothing's ever what it seems
in your life or in your dreams
it don't make sense,what can you do
so I won't try makin sense of you

love just is... whatever it may be
love just is...you and me
nothing less and nothing more
I don't know what I love you for...love just is

Pena telah diangkat dan dakwat telah kering

Daripada Abu al-’Abbas, Abdullah ibn Abbas, r.a.ﺎﻤﻬﻨﻋ ﷲا ﻲﺿر beliau berkata: Aku pernah duduk di belakang Nabi SAW pada suatu hari, lalu Baginda bersabda kepadaku: Wahai anak! Sesungguhnya aku mahu ajarkan engkau beberapa kalimah: Peliharalah Allah nescaya Allah akan memeliharamu. Peliharalah Allah nescaya engkau akan dapati Dia di hadapanmu. Apabila engkau meminta, maka pintalah dari Allah. Apabila engkau meminta pertolongan, maka mintalah pertolongan dengan Allah. Ketahuilah bahawa kalau umat ini berkumpul untuk memberikan sesuatu manfaat kepadamu, mereka tidak akan mampu memberikanmu manfaat kecuali dengan suatu perkara yang memang Allah telah tentukan untukmu. Sekiranya mereka berkumpul untuk memudharatkan kamu dengan suatu mudharat, nescaya mereka tidak mampu memudharatkan kamu kecuali dengan suatu perkara yang memang Allah telah tentukannya untukmu. Pena-pena telah diangkatkan dan lembaran- lembaran telah kering (dakwatnya). Tiada siapa tahu apa yang tersimpan dalam isi kehi...

Being sick, stressful and thankful at the same time

Assalamualaikum wbt All praises be to Allah swt that I have lived my 23 years of life to the fullest, in my opinion that is. I have tried the bad, the good and some bitterness I shall say. Alhamdulillah, on my 23th birthday I spent it with my close friends here in Newcastle as I assumed it would be my last one here before everyone that is close to me return home :( (and I will leave for Middlesbrough next year for my finals,insyaAllah) MasyaAllah, so many things has happened through out this 23 years of my life... no words shall be able to describe it, no picture can be drawn to reflect the feelings and how each and every single thing that happened has shape me to be who I am now, and for that, I made a resolution this year, to be a good servant of HIM by showing my gratitude all the time.ameen. Being more thankful that I have all ready been,as it is impossible to be thankful enough, for the air that I breath, that I have been breathing!!! For this eyes which I always take for granted...

Being alone

 As it gets lonelier nowadays, more questions popped up on my mind  I started to understand things more now and questioning less  Staying true to curiosity kills the cat which I disagree so much before but now perhaps it is more relevant than ever  It is so tiring living in this world now I have given up on social media nowadays that everyone is trying to show all in the web as if anyone really cares  I just want to stay true to myself  After passing one of the hardest exam I have ever encounter I felt that one of the heaviest burden has been lifted however many things remained the same still  There will always be new challenges or things which you put on hold to be taken care of  There is no running away from responsibilities  As life is not about sleeping, eating and repeating itself over and over again It is when it has meaning that it is called LIFE where you could LIVE in  Chasing over your dream no matter how ridiculous it could be...
