Do you?

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ


Do you ever encounter a moment where you feel like all is lost?
Like everything is hopeless and there is no where else you can run or turn to?
Be it a relationship, a financial problem, a friendship, a family matters or any troubles that makes you feel like there are no way out of it?
Do you?

And in that particular moment, do you realized that you will directly think of God?
in my case, Allah SWT...
you would beg to Him...asked Him to make it easier for you, asked Him to help you, asked Him to give a miracle to you...
Masya-Allah..how we beg and beg and beg to get out of the mess we are in...

Sometimes, Allah didn't really answer your plea in the way that you want..depends on your condition..
Some other times, Allah help you out, ease all the matters thats troubling you, give you money out of no where (though it might be from somewhere or something you forgot),ease your burden by making everything okay again...
Subhanallah..that moment...that moment you are out of the mess, Alhamdulillah...
but do you ever remembered to keep saying Alhamdulillah after that?
do you remember to plea from Him again after everything is fine again?
Do you?

I know I don't....i used to neglect stuff like that...
I used to feel like, Masya-Allah, Allah have blessed me with easiness in my life and my daily life...but i forgot..
I forgot that He, He wants you to beg and plea to Him...
to asked Him for anything, for forgiveness, for easiness...
beg Him, look for Him, search for Him...
instead, I used to just pray without even asking of begging for anything...
Pray just to fulfill the must...
Pray just to make sure i didnt be like the kufar...
I didnt pray like i did when I was so down with heavy heart..
I didnt beg in my heart...I didn't feel what I'm reciting in the prayers..
I didn't try to understand what my mouth were saying...I just recite it as fast as I can...

Astaghfirullah...
How weak are our imaan...how high are our ego...
for not able to humble ourselves in our prayer...not able to beg and plea with all our heart in every words we recite in our prayers...
They said, changes is easy..all you need is a leap of faith..
but to Istiqamah in everything we trying to change, Subhanallah..its hard...It's very hard...

Bilamana jariku ingin berbicara...

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Kadang-kadang, otakku berfikir
Ligat memikirkan...
Apakah sumbangan ku terhadap agama?
Apakah sumbangan pekerjaanku terhadap islam?
Apa yang akan aku dapat di akhirat nanti dari pekerjaanku ini?

Sungguh, sehingga sekarang, aku tidak mampu memikirkan satu apa pun yang dpt memberi manfaat kepada diriku di akhirat nanti di dalam pekerjaanku ini...
Sedih...sadis...
Kadang-kadang, aku merasakan bahawa aku telah tersalah bidang untuk berbakti kepada agama dan memberi manfaat kepadaku di akhirat sana.

Aku mencari dan terus mencari...
Menjadi seorang doktor, Subhanallah besar manfaatnya di akhirat nanti jika amanah itu djaga sebaiknya.
Menjadi seorang cikgu, Allahu Akbar betapa beruntungnya mereka jika ilmu yang indah itu semakin berkembang dan menjadi pahala kepada si pengajarnya.
Tetapi, menjadi seorang programmer...apa yang mampu aku lakukan?

Aku tahu, tidak banyak yang dpt aku lakukan untuk agama..lebih2 lagi bila agreement pekerjaan kami tidak membenarkan pekerjaan luar yg melibatkan IT.

Dikala aku masih mencari, Allah menunjukkan aku..
Dakwah...
Ya..hanya itu yang aku mampu
Dengan persekitaranku yang dikelilingi bukan seagamaku...yang semuanya berbangsa cina..
Alhamdulillah, mungkin perjalanan hidupku tidak seindah yang lain, tapi Allah memberikan aku pekerjaan yang aku minati, dikelilingi rakan-rakan sekerja yang memahami dan saling bantu-membantu dan menasihati. Sungguh, aku bersyukur berada bersama mereka meskipun berlainan agama. Tidak ada fitnah, tidak ada umpat mengumpat..cuma kerja kerja dan juga makanan..hehehe..
Aku selesa bersama mereka..dan aku harap mereka juga selesa berada disekitarku...
Mereka mengambil berat tentang kehalalan makanan bila mahu makan bersama atau membuat jamuan kecil sesama kami..
Dan paling membuat aku rasa sungguh bersyukur, mereka sering menanyaku tentang islam..
Nah...disitu..Allah memberiku peluang untuk berdakwah..
Aku sedaya upaya menerangkan sebaik mungkin dan seindah mungkin tentang islam..
Ada yg bertanya mengenai puasa...ada yang bertanya mengenai solat jumaat dan mengapa perempuan tidak diwajibkan ( soalan ini agak sukar bagiku )..ada yang menanya mengapa ada perempuan islam yang tidak bertudung jika bertudung itu wajib ( nah, rasa tertampar pipiku dgn soalan ini )...ada yang bertanya mengapa ada perbezaan mazhab di dalam islam..dan bermacam2 lagi
Subhanallah...soalan-soalan tersebut, disamping aku cuba untuk mjawab sebaik mungkin untuk mengindahkan islam, juga mengingatkan bahawa betapa lemahnya diriku..betapa ceteknya ilmu ku.. Sungguh...soalan-soalan mereka menyedarkanku..
Bagaimana diri ini mahu menjadi muslimah sejati? bagaimana diri ini mahu memberi petunjuk yang baik? bagaimana diri ini mahu berdakwah membesarkan Islam? Jika ilmu didada juga masih lagi belum cukup? Jika ilmu tidak diraih setiap hari?

Ya, ilmu... Ilmu perlu sentiasa dicari, sentiasa diperbaharui...
Benar kita islam sedari kecil...benar kita belajar agama disekolah dari kecil..
Tapi sahabat, tanya diri anda, berapa banyak ilmu yang kamu belajar itu masih diingati sejelas-jelasnya? 
Jangan..jangan dikata selagi tahu halal haram itu cukup..selagi tahu solat itu wajib, cukup..tahu rukun Islam dan rukun Iman...tetapi, keikhlasan tiada didalam diri...
Pandangan mata yg menjadi zina mata dan zina hati tidak dijaga...
Tiada rasa cinta pun terdetik bila mendengar ayat-ayat suci Al-Quran..tiada rasa rindu pun untuk sentiasa bertahajjud kepada yang Esa.. tiada rasa ringan pun lidah untuk berselawat ke atas junjunganNya tika mendengar nama Nabi Muhammad SAW itu disebut..
Tepuklah dada...tanyalah jiwa...bahagiakah kita nanti di akhirat sana?

Aku mahu ilmu...untuk berdakwah..untuk disampaikan.. supaya menjadi bekalanku diakhirat nanti..
Aku ingin menjadi seorang guru, supaya aku mendapat manfaat dari ilmu-ilmu yang aku berikan..Subhanallah, sekarang aku seorang tutor..
Aku cemburu dengan ibadah kerja seorang doktor, Alhamdulillah, sekarang aku mengajar matapelajaran sains yang mengagungkan ciptaan Allah SWT kepada anak2 muridku..

Lihat...betapa besarnya nikmat Allah berikan...
betapa indah perjalanan hidupku yang diaturNya...
Hebat bukan? Allahu Akbar!

Aku akui aku pernah buta...pernah lalai.. dek kerana cinta manusia...
Aku khilaf didalam nikmat yang dberikan.. Aku kufur kepadaNya...
Alhamdulillah, betapa cintanya Allah kepadaku..
Betapa besarnya dan hebatnya nikmat yang lebih indah Dia berikan kepadaku..
Alhamdulillah...

The past peeking out

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ


Oh Allah, my beloved Master.

I've done so many things that I'm ashamed of.
I've made many promises which I broke
Everytime I say, "This is a new start"."I'm done with this lifestyle, this life of sin."
I really do mean it,by Allah I mean it.

I say to myself, "I'll wake up for fajr and it'll be a new start for me".
Then the alarm rings and I continue snoozing it until it's time to leave for work, uni or college.

When dhuhur time approaches, I itch to pray knowing it will bring Your pleasure but I feel shy as no one else prays around me. So I stay still, bleeding inside at my own betrayal.
I come home to see the Quran collecting dust on the bookshelf, oh Allah You know how much eagerly I want to read it..
You know how I think about your words every minute of the day.
Two hours later I'm still on my phone and the night has creeped in and I settle in my bed, too tired to pray Isha'.

Some nights I weep into my pillowcase, why is it the same routine every day?
I want to love You, I want to prove myself to You
Oh Allah, I love You beyond the hearts capacity, I'm sorry for my incapabilities to show You.
Allah, You know I want to change, You can see the state of my heart
But it's so difficult but I know I can do it,
I will continue to turn to You, begging for forgiveness
If we really knew how merciful You are, we would ripped our hearts out in devotion for You and not felt the pain.

I call to You my Lord,
"Oh Lord, I've sinned" and You say "Call unto me, I will respond to you"
"Who can forgive sins but Me?"

The devil said to his Lord,"By Your Glory and Majesty! As long as the children of Adam exist on earth, I shall continuously misguide them."
Allah replied, "By My glory and Majesty! As long as they seek My forgiveness, I will continue to forgive them."

==============================================================

written above are something I stumble upon... but Masya-Allah, it was everything that I felt and gone through before.
Exactly the same thing.
My heart would yearn for Allah..to read His words, to pray and cover my aurah for Him..
but my environment that time was, no one around me prays, no one around me cares about trying to please Allah..it was all purely worldly stuff..
Astaghfirullah...

during adhan, I would pray in my heart that He would forgive me...forgive my sins..
forgive me for not able to perform what He wants me to do..
Subhanallah Subhanallah...

He indeed loves me very much...
I was surrounded by people who makes it easier for me to become a good muslim.
He put those people in my life to keep me istiqamah on what I want to become..
Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah..

ya Allah, forgive me...forgive me if nowadays I forget how hard it was for me to do all Your orders..
forgive me if nowadays I took time to perform my solat on time..
forgive me for the sins I made and for saving me from it again and again
forgive me if nowadays I complaint about how tired I am for not able to sleep many hours during the night..
forgive me ya Allah...
make me sincere in everything I do only for You..
Allah...i am weak..i am forgetful..
help me to keep istiqamah in finding Your blessings..
help me ya Allah...

Rezeki

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Bila kita berdoa kepadaNya untuk rezeki, kebanyakannya didalam otak yang berligat hanyalah wang. betul?
kerana aku juga dulunya begitu.

Rezeki itu luas...seluas nikmat yang Allah turunkan kepada kita didalam kehidupan seharian kita.
ada yang dmurahkan rezekinya dari segi kewangan sehingga dia mampu memiliki semua apa yang dia inginkan.
ada yang dmurahkan rezekinya mempunyai keluarga yang penyayang, yang sentiasa membuat hatinya bahagia tanpa gangguan dari luar.
ada yang dmurahkan rezekinya mendapat sahabat sahabat yang mengingatkan dia kepada Allah dan menjadikan dirinya lebih mudah untuk beristiqamah ke jalanNya.
ada yang dmurahkan rezeki mendapat pasangan yang sempurna dimatanya. yang menjadi pendamping diri dan membantu dirinya menjadi lebih baik. yang berada bersama sama disaat susah dan senang.
ada yang dmurahkan rezekinya dengan mendapat pekerjaan yang baik, ketua yang memahami, kawan2 sekerja yang saling bantu membantu walaupun ada yang tidak seagama.
ada yang dmurahkan rezeki dengan sentiasa berasa gembira didalam hari hari nya tanpa ada kesedihan di hati.
ada yang dmurahkan rezekinya dengan segala kemudahan yang dberikan untuk dia mudah melakukan ibadat tanpa ada sebarang kekangan.

ya luas...

tapi ada harinya kita sebagai manusia, lemah
kita lupa bahawa jika sesuatu yang kita mohon dari Allah, mungkin bukan masanya
kita lupa dan berasa marah terhadap makhlukNya atas ketiadaan rezeki dariNya itu
kita lupa bahawa Dia yang menentukan segalanya
kita lupa, jika kita marah dan kecewa kepada makhlukNya, adalah seperti kita marah dan tidak redha terhadap perancanganNya

ya Allah, maafkan aku
sungguh aku tidak kuat
sungguh aku hanyalah hambaMu yang lemah
ikhlaskan hatiku untuk tidak bersedih
ikhlaskan hatiku untuk menerima ketentuanMu
ikhlaskan hatiku untuk ikhlas kepada qada' dan qadarMu
kuatkan aku ya Allah
hilangkan perasaan sedih dan kecewa aku ini
dan jika ada diantara teman2 ku yang juga merasa sedih dan kecewa
Kau ampunilah mereka
ikhlaskan dan kuatkan hati mereka
tenangkan mereka
tenangkan hati kami ya Allah
kami hanyalah hambaMu yang lemah
permudahkan urusan2 kami
ikhlaskan kami dalam bersabar
tingkatkan kesabaran kami untuk menghadapi ujian dan dugaanMu
jadikanlah kami dikalangan hamba2 Mu yang soleh, ikhlas dan sabar...

Amin...ya Rabbal Alamin..

Tiada Erti...

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Aku tahu aku masih lemah
aku tahu aku tidak sekuat Rabiatul Adawiyah
Aku masih mempunyai nafsu yang perlu aku ajari
Aku berusaha mengingatkan diri
Bahawa cintaNya adalah cinta abadi
RedaNya membawa bahagia
Subhanallah Subhanallah Subhanallah

Ahjussi memberi pepatah yg lucu
Jangan kerana pusuk seekor, alu sikmok makan cucor pusuk..
hahaha.. Masya-Allah...terketawa disitu.. terima kasih ahjussi

maksud ahjussi disitu, jangan kerana seorang lelaki, maka hilang impian untuk berkahwin...

Ya..aku akui, perkahwinan itu wajib jika mampu..jika ingin memelihara iman dan nafsu...
tapi aku yang sekarang, merasakan bahawa semua itu sudah tidak bererti..
insya-Allah jika Allah jodohkan di dunia ini, aku terima seadanya..
jika aku djodohkan dengan maut terlebih dahulu, aku terima dgn hati yg gembira..

aku terbaca, perbualan Rabiatul Adawiyah dgn org2 yg mempertikaikan dirinya yg tidak mahu berkahwin...
Subhanallah..jawapannya sungguh, menusuk kalbu, mencengkam jiwa..

Jawapan dari Rabiatul Adawiyah dlm perbualan tersebut:
"Aku akan berkahwin sekiranya mereka yg mahu mengahwini saya itu mampu mencari jalan bagi mengeluarkan,menyelamatkan dan mengubati saya daripada tiga kerisauan dan dukacita yg sedang saya hadapi.
Pertama, saat malaikat maut mencabut nyawa yg tinggal ini, apakah dirinya dpt menjamin saya menghadap Allah dgn keimanan yg sempurna?
Kedua, sejurus berada di padang masyar, dapatkah dirinya memastikan saya menerima buku amalan sepanjang kehidupan dgn tangan kanan?
Ketiga, selepas hisab di padang masyar, golongan yg soleh akan dimasukkan ke dlm syurga, manakala yg kufur dihumban ke dalam neraka. Apakah dia dpt menjamin yg saya tergolong di dalam yg masuk ke syurga?"

Subhanallah...
Cinta manusia...mampukah menjamin semua itu?
sudah tentu tidak...
Aku memberitahu ahjussi, aku lebih rela mencari redhaNya
and menerima cintaNya daripada cinta manusia yg belum tentu dtg dari Allah

ya..aku tahu, aku mungkin kedengaran taksub...
tapi, aku belajar dari kesilapan aku sendiri...
aku hanyalah manusia yg lemah..
bila terbuai dek dunia, secara tidak sedar aku menduakan cintaNya
Dia mencintai diriku, dan menarik aku kembali ke pangkuanNya
ya, sakit itu terasa kerana aku hanya manusia
tapi keindahan yg dirasa bila belajar dari kesilapan yg lalu
bila sedar semua ini adalah rasa cintaNya terhadap diriku dan imanku,
Subhanallah.. Allahu Akbar.. Alhamdulillah...
Alhamdulillah...
Alhamdulillah...

aku pernah buta...
aku pernah alpa...
aku pernah leka...
terbuai dek kemanisan cinta yg dihanyut dosa...
aku patut sedar,
ketika mana diriku dimarahi kerana meninggalkan senaman utk sehari
tetapi diriku dkatakan tidak mengapa bila meninggalkan tahahjjud cintaku kepada yg Satu
nah..skrg, itu saja cukup untuk membuat aku sedar..
dimana prioriti keimanannya...
bukan keredhaan yg Esa..
tetapi duniawi semata mata..
Astaghfirullah..
dan aku juga telah lupa...
Semoga Allah menerima taubatku dan juga taubatnya..

13 STEPS TO MEMORIZE THE QURAN BY YASIR QADHI

Copied from Muslim Matters

During one of his seminar about the Sciences of the Qur'an, Sh. Yasir Qadhi shared with us some practical steps that helped him memorize the Qur'an during his teenage years.
Realize it's a spiritual AND physical project. It's a miracle and blessing from Allah ṣallallāhu 'alayhi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) that you're able to absorb the Qur'an. If you want to take advantage of this blessing, you should be in a position to receive it and therefore strive physically to achieve it and strive spiritually to get the maximum benefit.
1.  Sincerity. The first matter you have to pay attention to is your intention (if you intend good you will get good). Make sure that the intention you are making is only for the sake of Allah subḥānahu wa ta'āla (glorified and exalted be He),  to seek His Pleasure so that insha'Allah, with His Mercy, we will be rewarded in the Aakhirah. It is not to show off in front of others that you have memorized a lot. Sincerity is not a one time factor rather it's a continual battle that you always have to renew.
2.  Consistency. The more frequently you memorize, the easier it becomes. It is very essential to be consistent, and not to skip even one day. There is no weekend in worship. The bare minimum that one should memorize is at least 3 lines, 5 is more ideal. If you are consistent, insha'Allah, you will be able to be huffadh in 5-6 years
3.  Timing. The first thing you should do in the day is memorize – even do so before your breakfast, because this is your spiritual breakfast. The best time to memorize is right after Fajr. . (Sh. Yasir used to take one hour to memorize a page in the beginning, and eventually came down to 15-20 minutes)
4.  Atmosphere. Have a secluded place to go to and memorize in a place that is quiet. You just can't memorize properly with distractions, so turn off all your devices (like cell phones)
5.  Familiarity: start at the same time, at the same place and use the same mushaf every day. You need to have your own copy of the Mushaf (the Madani Mushaf is highly recommended), it will later become so dear to you.
6.  No Magic trick: repeat, repeat, repeat, over and over again. It is just repetitive recitation and/or listening that will help to memorize.
7. Memorize with the meaning: read the translation before you start and try to match the Arabic words with their meanings
8. Surround yourself with recitation: listen to the Qur'an. Before you start memorize, listen to what you are about to memorize. Sh. Husary is highly recommended (see here the best resources to help you memorize)
9.  Find a recitation buddy: get a friend, a family member or someone you know who will listen to your recitation every day. Ideally, get someone who is also memorizing to create a peer pressure system.
10.  Recite daily in your salah what you have memorized. If you forget one portion, you will immediately rush towards the Qur'an and correct your mistake and you will never do this mistake again.
11.Triple daily dose:
a)     New memorization at your assigned time of the day
b)    Revision of the previous 7 days, just before you start the new memorization: This is because the fastest thing you forget is the new memorization. And doing so, will also build the connector between the old ones and the new portion you are going to memorize. Plus, it will be a good warm up for the brain when you recall from your memory and recite, before you go into the real exercise of doing the new memorization.
c)     At a later/another time of the day, revise those before the recent 7 days. The bare minimum should be 4-5 pages.
12. Do not jump around. Be consistent. Don't try to go to another surah if you find it difficult and stick to the order. That way, you will have the satisfaction of having completed a juz rather than leaving some portions here and there.
13.  The three chunks. Start from the back. Shorter surahs will bring you a big boost. You should divide the memorization of the Qur'an in three parts:
a)     Juz 28, 29, 30 or just Juz 29, 30
b)    Surah Al-Kahf till Juz 28
c)     Surah Al-Baqara to Surah Al-Kahf
(JazakAllah Kheir to those who shared their notes from the class)

Cinta


بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ


“Ya Allah, kurniakanlah daku perasaan cinta kepada-Mu, dan cinta kepada orang yang mengasihi-Mu, Dan apa sahaja yang membawa daku menghampiri cinta-Mu. Jadikanlah cinta-Mu itu lebih aku hargai daripada air sejuk bagi orang yang kehausan, Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku memohon cinta-Mu, Dan cinta orang yang mencintai-Mu serta cinta yang dapat mendekatkan aku kepada cintaMu,
Ya Allah, apa sahaja yang Engkau anugerahkan kepadaku daripada apa yang aku cintai, Maka jadikanlah ia kekuatan untukku mencintai apa yang Engkau cintai. Dan apa sahaja yang Engkau singkirkan daripada apa yang aku cintai, Maka jadikanlah ia keredaan untukku dalam mencintai apa yang Engkau cintai, Ya Allah, jadikanlah cinta-Mu sesuatu yang paling aku cintai daripada cintaku kepada keluargaku, hartaku dan air sejuk pada saat kehausan.
Ya Allah, jadikanlah aku mencintai-Mu, mencintai malaikat-Mu, Rasul-Mu dan hamba-Mu yang soleh, Ya Allah, hidupkanlah hatiku dengan cinta-Mu dan jadikanlah aku bagi-Mu seperti apa yang Engkau cintai, Ya Allah, jadikanlah aku mencintai-Mu dengan segenap cintaku dan seluruh usahaku demi keredhaan-Mu.”
(Hadis riwayat At-Tarmizi)
Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Inilah doa yang biasa dipanjatkan oleh Nabi Daud a.s.”

Being Loved

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ


Subhanallah Subhanallah Subhanallah

Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah

Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar

Allah indeed knows better..
He is the best planner after all
Alhamdulillah...
He loves me more than i ever know
He saves me time and time again

I was hurt to the point where i feel so low
to the point that i keep asking myself during tahajjud
the tears that i'm crying is it for Him or for my own sadness
Astaghfirullah...
I was so depressed to the point where i'm not sure of my own thoughts anymore

I was blessed...
I really am...
He gave me a few very good sisters who keep reminding me
making sure that I don't stray
making sure I'm not being stupid on my own
Wallahi..i love them lillahi taala
Thank you Dee...for always reminding me
For knocking sense into my head
time and time again
Thank you nor...for trying to be there for me
eventhough you are busy with your own big event
and still trying to make some sense out of me
Still it's hard for me to hold on to that thoughts
As my thoughts was moving like a wrecking train
unstoppable
time and time again
i need to evaluate my own thoughts
which is where this blog would come in
to reevaluate and think
and my heart will be more at ease after

But Subhanallah,
i am a mere human...
my heart was easily swayed and hurt
i was being blessed with both altruistic and emphatic traits
making me feel more than a normal person would
and it was of course one of my weakness that's always been misused

only He knows how rueful and severely damaged i feel at times
up till the point that i can't even feel alive
and the only reason i still keep going was thinking that He loves me so much
that He still want to test me and making me closer to Him with this sadness in my heart
crying to Him every single day
thinking that He still give me chance to run back to Him in my weakest moment
having my faith in Him to help me being strong
i can barely smile sincerely...
and my laughter, it was more empty than anything i ever felt

it was like a sea current
my heart would be at peace some days
then it would get back to the depress state at some
back and forth
no solid state
as i was losing my solid ground

But Alhamdulillah,
I was truly blessed..I really am
I can't explain how loved i felt by Him
He gave me friends that love me as I am
love me with all the flaws i have
love me for the sake of Allah
through one friend, He blessed me
giving me a chance to be a part of a dakwah group
giving me a chance to spread my knowledge with others
even just a simple thing such as wearing hijab the right way
i am far from covering completely myself
but Alhamdulillah, He gave me the chance to be there and give out my knowledge
may it help me later in the hereafter
Amin...

and from there on
He blessed me again with these group of sisters
Subhanallah...
I finally able to smile sincerely and happily again
these bunch of niqabis and hijabis
crazy bunch of them
my heart feel full
as they came into my life not just making me laugh and loved
but due to them, I was finally able to be closer to Him
to be able to join a Talaqqi group
Alhamdulillah...
insya-Allah may my journey will be at ease
May this process of seeking knowledge in me never fades
May we are all able to learn from Quran and Sunnah
May we get the syafa'at from Muhammad SAW in the hereafter
insya-Allah...
Alhamdulillah,
not just the talaqqi class i was being introduced to
now I was part of their usrah group
and learning more knowledge for the hereafter
Subhanallah..
the things He blessed me for..
was more than the hardship He gave on me
I'm aware of that..
but sometimes, this fragile heart still feel a bit bitter

ya Allah, make me sincere
make my heart sincere in everything that I do
make my heart sincere only for You
make my heart be at ease with the thoughts of You
make me steadfast in seeking Your love
help me keep my solid ground this time ya Allah..

Ya Allah, aku merayu...

Ya Allah,
lemahkah aku dikala hati merasa sedih?
Ya Allah,
salahkah aku jika merasa perasaan ini mendekatkan diri kepadaMu?
Ya Allah,
adakah aku menzalimi diri ini?
Ya Allah,
adakah aku lalai dan terleka didalam hidup ku ini?
Ya Allah,
adakah aku belum cukup ikhlas untuk bersyukur?
Ya Allah,
adakah aku tergolong dalam golongan yg munafik?
Ya Allah,
adakah aku telah riak tanpa aku sedari?
Ya Allah...
Ya Allah...
Ya Allah...
Ya Allah,
adakah ini caraMu untuk menyedarkan betapa lemahnya diriku?
Ya Allah,
adakah ini pengajaran buatku kerana khilaf terhadapMu?
Ya Allah...
Ya Allah...
Ya Allah...
bantu aku...ampuni aku..ikhlaskan hatiku...teguhkan imanku 
Ya Allah, Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim, Ya Zal Jalla liwal ikram
Ampuni aku Ya Allah...
aku rindu kepadaMu ya Allah...
aku ingin kembali dekat kepadaMu...
aku ingin berasa tenang didalam dakapanMu lagi...
aku ingin kembali berusaha menjadi seperti kekasihMu Rabiatul Adawiyah...
aku rindu Ya Allah...

like a mother's grip..

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ


Allah shows His love to His servants by giving them trials and hardships to overcome.
Some may received blessings instead...
But the more trials we encounter means, the more He loves you, for He wants you to come to Him.
To beg from Him, to cry to Him in your lowest state.
It hurts but that hurt was out of  love..
Like a mother's grip on you..
Exactly how my mother was holding me yesterday..
when I was about to collapse, her gripped was hurting me because it was strong
but i know it was out of love..
the love that makes she fears for me and care for me..
If your mother loves you that much and hurt you in the process,
Imagine how much loves Allah have for us, for all the trials He gave us..

Pain

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

"There is not a single word in the whole world
That could describe the hurt
The dullest knife just sawing back and forth
And ripping through the softest skin there ever was
How were you to know?"

There was a saying that i read somewhere.
It sounded something like this:
"Don't compare your afflictions with others around you. Maybe Allah gave you a harder test because He knows, the harder the test He gave to you, you will get closer to Him and you are able to overcome it. And maybe He gave ease to others because only with ease they will get closer to Him but if given afflictions, they would collapse and fall."

Alhamdulillah...i believe i am strong enough.
He trusted me with this pain..
and insya-Allah with this pain,
i keep running to Him and asking for His help..
i cried to Him to make me strong..

it's been far too long for me to be consumed in this pain
i know, i should move on
i know, i can move on
but i still feel the pain no matter how much i tried
and i know, He won't let me suffer for no reason
maybe when the pain is gone, i would not be dependent on Him anymore
maybe He wants me to keep crying to Him everyday

i am weak, i know that now
i never thought i would feel this low in my life
i never thought i would feel so helpless and hopeless
i never thought i would become undone just because of a mere human
a human that i trusted to hold my heart

All this while,
i always thought that i am capable of not being dependent to a man
always thought that i've been in love with the wrong people
enough to make me strong enough to walk away easily
always thought that what i have before was real love as well

but i guess, i just never really loved anyone yet
not until i met him
which i fall deeply and easily
and the happiness that surrounds me
it was something i always dream't about
it was like a dream come true to me
a miracle given by Him to me
someone that makes me feel so blessed and loved by Allah

and by that, there is also a saying:
"every test is a blessing and every blessing is a test"

and i guess, i failed the test in blessing
my thoughts was consumed by love for a human not Him
my heart was given to a human not Him
and this pain is His way to remind me
that all i need was Him
that He want me to cry to Him
that He is the one and only i should hold in my heart

Alhamdulillah...
if this pain is what makes me closer to Him
i'll accept it with open heart
it may hurts, but i do feel peace at times
it hurts coz its hard for me to let go
it hurts coz i never fall this deep with anyone before him
it will keep hurting but i will be okay
His planned is better that what we planned
He knows what lies ahead
He knows what's best for us
I will be fine...

May I pass this test and found the blessing at the end of the rainbow.. n_n
Amin~

Pergi...

Jika itu kehendakmu 
Pergilah
Hati ini sentiasa terpahat satu nama
Allah SWT

Hati ini hanyalah untuk Dia
Hak milikNya
Hatimu dan Hatiku
Bukanlah milik kita

Jika dirimu ingin pergi
Pergilah
Dunia ini luas
Masih banyak lagi yang dirimu belum cuba

Masih banyak lagi yang engkau belum rasa
Pergilah sejauh mana engkau mahu
Jika Dia menetapkan Hatimu untukku
Kembalilah bila tiba masa nya

Jika Dia menetapkan Hatiku untuk yang lain
Bahagialah engkau disana
Semoga Dia menjaga Hatimu
Semoga Dia memelihara imanmu

Itulah doaku
Kerana Dia memberikan rasa di Hatiku
untuk menyayangimu
Bukan untuk membencimu

Pendosa...

                                              بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Assalamualaikum

agak lama tidak bertinta di dalam bahasa melayu..
bahasa kebangsaan...
disebabkan bulan ini bulan merdeka, aku merepek la sekejap dalam bahasa melayu kita.. n_n

tajuk macam heavy..tapi mukadimah merepek... -_-

okay...lets get serious.. (tercampur plak omputehnya) =_='

selama aku hidup 27 tahun ni (chewaahh), 
aku ingatkan bahawa banyak dugaan dan asam garam aku harungi..
aku ingat aku cukup kuat menghadapi semua ujianNya
aku ingat aku cukup ikhlas berserah kepadaNya
aku ingat aku cukup bersyukur kepadaNya

dari kekhilafan,
aku kembali ke jalan yg lurus
Alhamdulillah aku dberikan sebuah keluarga yg byk membantuku
Alhamdulillah aku dberikan sahabat2 yg solehah dan mengingatkanku
aku cuba untuk istiqamah
aku pelihara hati aku dari dkecewakan oleh mana2 lelaki yg ingin mendekati
kerana bagiku, telah cukup aku dikecewakan berkali2
sama ada dijadikan sandaran ataupun dicurangi
ya..aku rasa aku cukup kuat untuk menghadapi
dan aku sentiasa mengingatkan diriku bahawa aku cukup sifat untuk dijadikan isteri
dan lelaki2 itu semuanya rugi
ya Allah, betapa riak nya aku dikala itu

ya, aku riak..kerana tidak pernah aku merasa manisnya cinta
seperti yg sering aku pinta, yg sering aku doakan
seorang lelaki yg mahu hidup bersama ku bukan sekadar menjadikan aku sebagai teman wanita
seorang lelaki yg cukup matang, yg tahu apa yg dia mahu dan tahu tanggungjawabnya kepada bakal isterinya
sehinggalah Allah memakbulkan doa ku itu

Allah memberikan dia di dalam hidupku
dia memiliki semua ciri2 yang aku pinta
dia berjanji ingin hidup bersama secepat mungkin
dan aku merasa betapa indahnya cinta
kerana aku percaya ini adalah pemberianNya kepadaku
dan aku ingin menguatkan imanku dan mengawal nafsuku didalam sebuah hubungan yg halal
dan dia juga inginkan yg sama sepertiku

tapi aku alpa,
aku lupa..
ya..aku seorang pendosa..
aku berdosa kepada diriku..
aku berdosa kepada Allah...
aku berdosa kepada ayahku...

dan Allah ingin menyedarkan aku kembali
untuk kembali kepadaNya
untuk kembali ikhlas mencintaiNya

dan aku gagal disitu
aku gagal menerima qada dan qadarNya
aku gagal mengikhlaskan hati ku untuk redha kepadaNya
aku gagal untuk berserah kepadaNya
aku gagal kerana aku hanyalah manusia yg lemah

aku lemah...
dan aku hanyut didalam kesedihanku
aku berpaut pada cinta duniawi
aku gagal untuk melepaskan cinta yg telah lama aku dambakan
walau berkali-kali diri ini dibuang dan ditolak ke tepi
dia sudah tidak mahu akan diriku yg pendosa ini
tetapi aku masih merayu lagi

ya Allah,
maafkan aku...
dikala aku rasa bahawa aku cukup kuat,
Engkau tunjukkan betapa lemahnya imanku
Engkau tunjukkan betapa rapuhnya cintaku kepadaMu
Syukur ya Allah,
kerana Engkau masih memberiku hidayahMu
kerana Engkau masih memberiku petunjukMu
kerana Engkau masih menyayangiku

aku mengambil masa yg lama utk kembali kepadaMu
aku terlalu leka didalam kesedihanku
aku terlupa siapa diriku sebelum nya
ya, aku masih seorang pendosa
istiqamah itu sukar
aku akui...
dan aku masih merangkak untuk kembali kepadaNya
aku masih berusaha menjadi yg terbaik utk bakal imamku nanti
jika dberi kesempatan
aku masih berusaha utk mencari keikhlasan hati dan redha Ilahi

Iman tidak sentiasa berada di tahap yg sama
Ia perlu dibaja dan dijaga setiap hari untuk merasa kemanisan ibadah kepadaNya
dan Iman ku tidak la sehebat mana
Ilmu ku masih belum cukup 
dan aku masih berusaha untuk mencari sebanyak ilmu agama untuk diriku dan untuk aku sebarkan kepada yg memerlukan
aku seorang pendosa yg masih merangkak untuk kembali kepadaNya

dan aku sentiasa akan menjadi seorang pendosa
kerana lemahnya diriku sebagai manusia

Lessons yet to be Learned

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Allah is indeed the most merciful of all

to say that I'm doing fine these few weeks,
kinda feel like a denial stage for me...
I have not been fine...
I am trying to focus myself solely to pleased Him
but I still have trouble in keeping my heart at peace

during these times,
my head does a lot of thinking
more lot than it used to


It finally dawned on me
about all that happen
the happiness, the heartbreak
it was all gifts that He gave to me
to answer my prayers to Him

Before, I always pray that
someday I would found someone who would love me
adore me, and treat me like the most precious person in his world
and he would marry me instead of just being in a relationship
and Subhanallah, He answered that prayer
right after I was feeling so terrible and down by my own sibling
I was so devastated being treated wrongly
and my imaan was being question at that point
I try my best to be patient and try to mend things eventhough i was not at fault

then, He lead me to him...
my heart was stirred i admit
I turned to Him
asking for His guidance not sure if it was the right thing to do
He eased everything between us
and he makes me feel like all my prayers have finally come true
he makes me feel like, finally I know what true love is supposed to feel
he makes me feel grateful that I can't stop being thankful to Allah for leading me to him
he wanted us to be in a halal relationship as soon as possible
he wanted to marry me for us to get closer to Allah and to pleased Him
Subhanallah, i have never felt so grateful than I ever was at that point

But as human, we get swayed easily
as the situation and financial condition makes us delayed our intention to get married
we continued our relationship waiting for the right time for us to proceed
We get more infatuated with each other day by day
I am feeling more happy than I ever was ever
I am feeling loved
yes, we keep reminding each other about Allah, prayers
and all that stuff
but deep inside, I guess we know that our heart was in love more towards each other than with Allah
Masya-Allah...
how easily our heart are swayed with love
ya Allah, please forgive our sins...

I know, I have made a mistake by letting him being my priorities
more than I should
and I know Allah loves me coz He again answered my prayers
I always prayed for me to have my heart filled with love only for Him and Rasulullah SAW more than anyone else
and i feel the distanced getting larger between us
and we keep having argument on petty stuff
up till the point where he reminded me that we should not be too consumed by our love for each other more than we did for Allah
and he was letting me go to let us both straighten our heart
may Allah blessed him
I know some says it was a wrong action for him to make
to let go of what we had just like that
I feel the same way too
and my heart still breaks each day because of that too

But I know, everything that happen
was Allah's plan all along
and i guessed, we failed His test
so He took back the beautiful thing we have
to make sure we came back to Him

Everyday, every second
I keep reminding myself to be sincere
to accept everything with open heart
but there was moment of weakness
where I would breakdown
coz I am only human
and I only can depend on Allah strength for me to get through this
it's the toughest test He ever gave me
for losing someone due to death, it gives me more peace
coz I know they will be safe with Allah
but for losing someone due to their decision to leave us,
it hurts in a different way, coz you know they are there, 
but you just can't be with them anymore
and you are not what you were to each other anymore
and that, breaks my heart every time...

May Allah ease my pain and make me stronger
May Allah forgive our sins
but I am still thankful, for He has given me the chance to feel the kind of love that makes it hard to let go of
Insya-Allah, He have better plans for us than we do for ourselves
May Allah keep me sincere and at ease

Muslim by default...

Read an article about how most Malay muslim takes Islam for granted...
Makes my mind wander to the most deepest part...to my own past...my own ignorance...

Born  in a Malay mix family...Islam by default...
Live my entire childhood with the mixture of both malay+chinese+iban culture from both grandparents side..
I was proud of my heritage back then..
Still am now...

My knowledge of Islam is just its my religion that i must follow...
My malay grandfather never stop forcing us to keep praying night and day
Sometimes he even bring along a hanger to scare us..lol

Looking back at how ignorant I am sometimes makes me cringe
There's so many mistakes that I've done

Growing up, Alhamdulillah I was surrounded by friends that wear hijab
So, I find myself attracted to wear hijab at a very young age
My friends often complaints how they despised wearing it if not forced by their parents
While me, I was so eager to wear it but my immediate family is not so keen of the idea coz they are not wearing too
I love spending time and going out with my Iban grams..because she really supports my decision of wearing hijab
Oh well..i've told this hijab story before...

Sooo...as I grew up, hijab seems like something that I only wear at school..
During high school, I guess Allah really loves me, I was surrounded by friends that are very much like a real muslimah for me
They prayed 5times a day, they do sunat prayers all the time...and still being those crazy-in-love-with-movies/drama teenagers when it comes to tv shows that we love..esp Charmed or any taiwanese/japanese drama at that time..lol
Slowly i learned to be a good muslimah from them...coz I was so clueless in everything up to the part that I feel like I'm not good enough to be their friends
But they are a bunch of great girlfriends i have till now..
Syukur Alhamdulillah~

When I continued my study in matrix, its the first time I've been far away from home in a strange island where I know no one...
And before I've heard all about the "entertainment" that always catch up with most of the students that makes them lost...
So, being scared of my own "wild"-self, I try to restrained myself from being too carefree and careless by attending the mosque everyday
I began to became close with most of the mosque cliques
We do activities together, we spend our evening together
and my favourite activities is when we fast on monday and thursday every week and then we would cook and break our fast together at the mosque...
Its a very beautiful experience that I would never forget..

But after I finish my matrix, and return back home...
I feel like such a hypocrites coz I never used hijab if not in school..
So i let go of my hijab just to be what i feel "normal" in my family at the moment..
So when I entered Uni for my diploma, I decided not to wear hijab coz its in my hometown
And I was scared of meeting some of my coursemate outside uni and found out that I didnt wear hijab outside of class...
How ignorant I am back then...
More scared and afraid of humans perception rather than Allah... Astaghfirullah..

Sometimes, I do have that urge to wear hijab...
But i was scared of what people would said about my sudden change..
So i buried that idea deep inside me..

During all of these phases of mine,
I know I may not do all those 5prayers all the time...
But I always recite Ayat-Kursi and Al-Fatihah
I'm not a good muslimah...i admit
Even now I'm still struggling to control my temper and practice patience in everything I do

I used to take Islam for granted..
I keep saying that I'm a muslim..
but I dont act like one..
I dont do what Quran told me to do...I said I love Rasulullah SAW but I didnt follow His Sunnah..
I was a terrible person...

Allah have given me Hidayah time and time again...
most of the time, I just change for a moment...
then being caught up with the world, I'm back to where I used to be...ignorant

Finally, during my degree year...
where I met this beautiful and great family
they remind me of God and how to live the life as a true muslim
How you can be a good muslim and still live your life to the fullest..
They showed me how beautiful Islam is and reminds me that Allah still loves me
No matter how many sins that I have done
How terribly I have live my life before...

Since the change, I tried to be Istiqamah in everything I try to change
I try to make myself complete the 5prayers
I started wearing hijab...
and I was touched by my friend words recently.."Alhamdulillah ko betul2 berubah aziey...ko pakai hijab bukan sekadar utk berfesyen spt yg aku sangka"...
The reason i wear hijab is bcoz I wanted to change and it was a first step for me to do..
But most people around me thought that I do it bcoz its the trend now...
Subhanallah...Allah is more Knowing and hopefully that my intention is as pure then as it is now...

Ever since the change, I tried to learn more on how to be a true muslimah
I'm changing myself slowly...
and sometimes I do feel like I'm not good enough everytime I heard words that are hurtful enough due to my changes
I still want to be wild and playful..i just have to control how to limit myself
Sometimes, I do stray from the right path
I did something that I thought was very terrible...and all I hope is Allah will forgive all my sins..past future present

I just need to get away from all those deviation...

"laillaha illa anta subhanaka inni kuntu minal zolimin"
Sesungguhnya aku adalah diantara org2 yg menzalimi diri sendiri..

I'm still learning..and I'm gonna start learning the basic again..
All those Al-Quran, Sunnah, Hadis, Feqah, Sirah, Tauhid...
I feel like there is so much more to learn now
Now that I finally realized how much I've been missing and dissing...

xoxo
