Lessons yet to be Learned

بِسْÙ…ِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّØ­ْÙ…ٰÙ†ِ ٱلرَّØ­ِيمِ

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

Learning...


isn't it funny?
how our mind and heart works?

its easy for us to adapt our life around someone new
someone that we love
every decision, every thoughts all revolves around that person you love
especially when that someone is someone you planned to live your whole life with
you start to think of your future together
you start to live each day with the thoughts of them around you
you start to end your day with the thoughts of them with you
basically, its easy for us to let someone in our lives and change the pattern of it...

but what's worse is,
when we have to stop living our life with the thoughts if them
it became really hard to remove them from our mind and our heart
each day passed by became empty
it feels like losing a very close bestfriend
someone that you share every second that you do
every second that you went through
someone that you share every thoughts before anyone else
and now, that person is gone
much worse, they don't give a damn about you anymore
suddenly, you lost your confidante
its like being paralysed
your mind just keep on repeating on the good memories
making it hard for you to move on
and your heart
keep on breaking pieces by pieces every single day

isnt it funny?
how easy they come?
and how hard for them to be gone from our mind?

or maybe it's just me
coz my mind tends to get lost in thoughts
of all the how?, why? ,when? and what if's?

true, when people said
our souls knows the right way to heal
but the challenge is from our mind
that wont stay silent during the healing period

sometimes, i feel the need to be around people
my family, my friends...
so i can stay grounded and be the old me they used to mock off
by reminding me how easy i am to be knocked down by people due to my own goodhearted nature
sometimes, i feel the need to be alone
to just break down and cry
cry my heart out till there is no more tears left
till the heart become numb of the coldness of the pain

sometimes...i just dont know anymore

but all i know,
I need to learn to survive
to heal and be well again
to be the girl that i used to be but maybe a bit more wiser
i am feeling worse than i ever had
for this person was someone i was getting used to live in the future
someone that i trusted to hold my heart
someone that i trusted with all my words
someone that i trusted with all my flaws
someone that i trusted to guide me to be closer to Allah
someone that i trusted to be the imam of my family
someone that i trusted to pick me up when i fall down

but now, all thats left was emptiness
a lost hope with nothing to hold on to anymore
someone i love but there's no more love left for me anymore

Forgiveness and Love...

Syawal is nearing, Ramadhan is going away...

Subhanallah, Syukur ya Allah for getting me closer to you these last few days of Ramadhan..closer than I ever did before..
Alhamdulillah for all the trials that You gave to me to make me beg to You and run to You in these few nights of power.

I've been praying for Allah to give me ikhlas in my heart for everything that I have done for you.
I keep praying for the best for you.
I prayed that Allah makes me redha for whatever pain that I've been through, redha in His test for me...

I am only human, like the song i keep singing to you in the car.
I break and I fall apart...i keep begging for you because thats all I want to do..and I still want to fight for what we used to have.
Insya-Allah, He'll answer my istikharah

Masya-Allah, may Allah guide you.
be grateful
be grateful and do dhuha..stop blaming your life..
Stop saying that your life was ruined..
stop saying that life condemn you..
its the same thing as if you are blaming Allah for all your test..
and as long as you didnt feel grateful and learn to be grateful and patience, Allah wouldn't change your conditions but making it worse instead.
So be grateful...
Your dreams of helping people around you are beautiful,
but you have to learned to save your own souls and the people that love you first.
Dont push away anyone that do everything to stay and love you.
I pray that you will achieved all that you dream of soon.
I pray the best for your future.
May you learned to appreciate and have gratitude for whoever it is in your future.
And respect them not degrade her in front of other people.
Pray with gratitude in your heart..Insya-Allah you'll see the difference..

Subhanallah, I am also thankful for you..
For reminding me how far I have strayed..
For reminding me of my sins..I am indeed only human..and a girl at that
I'm using my emotions more than my head..
Forgive me for all the things that you thought I make you do

Lillahi taala, i never ever thought of making you follow my decisions or ideas..
You came to me asking for opinion, so I gave you my personal opinion with the thoughts of both of us in the future..
In the end, its you yourself that decides what you want to do..
So stop trying to blame people around you if things dont work out for you..
how can you take care of your future wife if all you did was blaming her for every little things in the future?
Subhanallah..I wish you the very best in your life..

Hopefully, if you are reading this,
please know that I am not trying to make you into a version that I would want you to be..because I accept you as you were..
and you have slowly change from the person you are to the person you said you wouldn't be..
reflect your heart..
read those books i gave you and reflect it on yourself
dont just read and forget..
reflect and learn to be the person you used to be again..

Forgive me as Ramadhan is at its end...
and as human, in the name of Allah, I do love you sincerely..
May Allah ease your life Mr D.

xoxo,

Istikharah...

Istikharah.. the best way to make decision in your life


I didn't really do istikharah before... until this year..

I depends on my tahajjud and dhuha to ask for ease in my business in this world..

Until I met him, the person that I actually dreamt my future with..

It was fast and unexpected...So i did my istikharah, to make sure that I did a right decision this time.

To make sure that my heart will be safe and at ease..

with istikharah, anything that happen with ease means its the right decision for you.

the same thing goes for us...

Everything happen with ease, getting the blessings from the family came with ease, being together in a long distance became easy...
Alhamdulillah...

We became attached to each other,
Imagining our future together which we prayed would be sooner..

But, Subhanallah...

I guess we became too attached with each other that we didnt realized how our heart have swayed..
our heart became attached to each other more than Allah...
We got consumed by our own feelings..
Astaghfirullah...

I myself would still continue to be swayed if it was lead on..
But Syukur Alhamdulillah...he reminded me
he reminded us how we are getting strayed from Allah
how it makes us hypocrites to our own self...

It was hard for me to let go,
it really was...
I try to turn to Allah for the best answer, i did istikharah again and again for the best way..
my heart was shattered for the worldly affection..
i feel devastated when I thought finally i've found the one..

Little did I know that maybe that was the answer I was seeking...
little did I know that Allah is answering me...

For this Ramadhan, it is the most challenging Ramadhan for me..
and now I realized, He wants me to get closer to Him..
to focus myself only for Him, for I have never been doing all these ibadah as much as I did this Ramadhan..
Alhamdulillah...
Maybe this is not meant for me yet...
Maybe my sins makes this gifts for me been taken away...
Reflections is all that I have now..

To reflect and repent towards Him...

Insya-Allah, He is the ultimate planner after all...

xoxo

Hopeless...

I was scared...
I feel  lost...
Scared that I would lose the best gift Allah has given me during my darkest hour..
It was hard to lost sight of what I know as the best I would ever knew..

As a fragile human,
i can't help to feel these hopelessness...
I tried everything I could to save whatever it is that i can grasp unto
I forgot...
I forgot all His promises because i dwell too much on my own pain
I forgot that, the closer we are trying to reach Him
the more harder the test His gonna give to us
this is His way of showing love to us
so that we will keep asking from Him

and my way of showing my love may differ
i can't stand letting the one i love all alone
letting them dwell with their pain alone
i try to be there for them, to ease their pain
but sometimes, i just dont understand the need that one have to be alone
so i will end up annoying and suffocating them
instead of giving them my support and love

I'm still learning
I still have a lot to learn
I just hope i will learn fast enough

xoxo

Happiness is also a Test

94:1
Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast?
94:2
And We removed from you your burden

94:3

Which had weighed upon your back
94:4
And raised high for you your repute.
94:5
For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
94:6
Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.
94:7
So when you have finished [your duties], then stand up [for worship].
94:8
And to your Lord direct [your] longing.

For indeed, with every hardship there is relief.

As human, I get swayed easily with worldly happiness.
I fall easily for beautiful promises, and i dream't of the life that are not yet to be mine.
I became a hypocrite..someone that i promised myself i won't be
I became greedy for human interaction and human affection for myself

Ya Allah, how weak I am... for forgetting all the things that I have learned before
the things that I promised I won't fall for anymore just because it was so beautiful than the rest
and I forgot that happiness can be a form of test for me as well
I forgot my priority in life after You and Rasulullah...
I forgot to prioritize myself in search of human affection and love
I lost myself, and I forgot to love myself and depending on other humans love to keep me feel happy

I have done terrible things to myself
Letting myself succumb into places that I promised I wont be anymore
Yes I am weak and still am..
thank you Allah, for sending me someone to remind me how weak I am
to make me realized how far I have strayed

Even though that someone couldn't help me to get back to you
But there are others that reminds me of you... May Allah bless their souls..
I am loved...
I believed that Allah loves me so much that He gave me a trial in this beautiful month
So I can get back to Him in a beautiful way..

Happiness is a test, for it can make you stray away from the right path
and Sadness is a way for you to realized how loved you are by Him
with human, no matter how hard you try nothing can make them change unless they are willing to do it themselves
the changes for a positive mind and positive gratitude for life and the test He gave to you

He, the one who will never turn His back towards me
no matter how many times I have sins
no matter how many times I have repent
and keep doing the same mistakes
He keep reminding me, by sending people around me
Those beautiful souls, that reminds me of the beautiful promises that You gave us
Those souls that reminds me of Your beautiful words

A sister just reminded me,
pleased yourself before you pleased others... make yourself a priority in your life after Allah and Rasul
because honey, no one else is gonna love you more than you will yourself
think good thoughts of yourself..do things that makes you happy before you make others happy

The words that i used to live by but keep forgetting sometimes...
Ah, human love...how we destroyed our own souls because of that
Insya-Allah, with every hardship there will be relief..

Syukur Alhamdulillah...

hurt

I know maybe this is how Allah want to test me...
I know I should be grateful coz this is how He shows He loves me...

but I'm only human...
and it's killing me inside
words are weapons that can kill a person
especially when those words are from the people you love and trust

the people who don't even live with you
but assume all the things that you do just because you are not around
assume that you are too free
assume that you have lots of money
and assume that you are trying to hide it

the people who don't even know what you need to cover for
what you need to pay for
what you are doing and trying to save another soul
and assume that you just a hypocrites

the people who keep wanting you to listen to them
keep wanting you to do everything they want 
keep wanting you just to obey
but never respects you
then when you start to say no after all the years of never saying it
they said you are selfish and hypocrites
that the hijab and words of Allah that you shared doesnt reflects who you are
that you are non other than just a hypocrites who hides behind those words

imagine how sharp those words are when you are trying to reminds yourself
and at the same time trying to istiqomah in doing all of those
words that crushed my very soul

and I could be cold by ignoring all those
but unfortunately i cant
coz the fact that those words came from the people i cared
the people i love
and the people that i call family
