For a single brother who is constantly thinking about a woman, it is better not to do that because it can lead to passion.

Some words of wisdom


Bismillah.

If you want your dreams to come true, rule number 1: you MUSN'T oversleep

Good judgment comes from experience.. and Experience comes from bad judgment

Of all the things that you wear, your expression is the most important

The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts

The HEAVIEST thing you can carry is a grudge

One thing you can give and still keep... is your word

You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself.

If you lack the courage to start, you have already finished

One thing you can't recycle is wasted time


Your mind is like a parachute.. it functions only when open

The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime!


Life is too short to wake up with regrets.. So love the people who treat you right.. Forget about the ones who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it 

Friends are like balloons;
Once you let them go, you might not get them back.. Sometimes, we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we've let them fly away. Sometimes, we are so caught up in who's right and who's wrong that we forget what's right and wrong.. Sometimes, we just don't realize what real friendship means until it is too late.

Here's a message to those who know me personally:
Thank you for being my friend and please know that I always tie you to my heart so I never lose you. I may not show I care, but I do deep inside! 


To the others:
Erm.. thanks for spending your time here at all ! I hope it brings goodness and some benefits to each and every one of you as time is golden. May God bless you always! God Willing~

They told me Islam's from the DEVIL


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim - in the name of Allah, Most Gracious, most Merciful.



Thanks to a friend for sharing this video with me. 

Every time I watch, listen or read about a revert's journey in their discovery of Islam, I notice one prominent thing: We are all very similar. We felt the same feeling and we discovered Islam in very similar ways. I always connect with all these stories and I go "Whoa" and "OMG" all the time cos I'm reading something that matches my own journey, it's as if they were living my life! SubhanAllah~!!

I thank God on behalf of all reverts as we are the ones who got direct Hidayah & Taufiq from Him. Alhamdulillah~!! May we continue to stay steadfast in this true path. InshaAllah.

WAllahua'lam.

Who says? God says~

Bismillah.

Salam alaik & greetings to all,

Hope everyone's in the pink of health and for the Muslims, may we all be in our highest state of Imaan as consistent as possible, inshaAllah.

So you know how sometimes we get people questioning us regarding certain verses in the AQ, things they read about in the media, the stereotype views, their observations, and etc; I'm sure in your attempt to reply and answer these questions/doubts, there will come a point where you'd unconsciously include "God says" within your sentence structure. This happens often especially when you respond with some clarifications and then they ask you in return, "Who says?", "Who told you that?", etc. THIS question will definitely cause the majority to automatically say "God says."

Too damn personal

Bismillah.

My eyes hurt bad now. I guess cos it's been some time since I last really cried.

9 hours ago:
My heart feels as if it's been sliced mercilessly and eyes bleeding tears. I'm in excruciating pain. The state I'm in, so unbelievably hard to digest. I couldn't accept and let it sink fast. I couldn't choose to let it disappear nor could I chase away the burning anger flaming within myself. It's been a long, and I mean really long time since I've felt this way.
At the same time, I felt so upset and sad at myself, for being this weak, a helpless servant. Don't feel deserved to be called a "Muslim". I'm so sorry my dear beloved Allah SWT for I wasn't able to make justice to Your Religion. I feel deeply ashamed of myself but I was really so mad and angry at that point in time until I felt like crying cos it also hurt me so bad. Tears were pooling and about to stream down my cheeks but I didn't want to let her see me cry. I held my tears as best as I could. O' God, please forgive me my weakness. I was only trying to do what I think is right i.e. to swallow and control my anger as that is one of the Islamic teachings that I've learnt. (I swear if this happened to me 2 years ago, I'm utterly sure I would have cussed, tell her to SHUT UP and give her a piece of my mind right there and then, not caring even if it's in the public!)

When she first discovered I'm a Muslim, her first statement was "Noo.. No way! Why would you do that?!

Sekadar perkongsian

Bismillah.
(Plucked from Facebook Group: Majlis Tazkirah
Sekiranya kita cinta kepada manusia
tidak semestinya manusia cinta kepada kita
Tetapi sekiranya kita cinta kepada Allah
nescaya cinta Allah tiada penghujungnya
Sekiranya kita cinta kepada manusia
kita akan cemburu kepada orang yang
mencintai orang yang kita cintai
Tetapi sekiranya kita cinta kepada Allah
kita akan turut mencintai orang yang
melabuhkan cintanya kepada Allah. =)

Six White Days~

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim - in the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Salam and greetings to all,

I know Syawal's coming to an end but I've been delaying on posting bout this. Thought I could find a time to write in detail bout this. I wish I can turn back time at least there's more time left for those who read this blog to prepare to complete this sunnah.

I don't actually have the time to write bout it myself so here's a link for more detailed information regarding this six white days aka Puasa 6 ! Aseef jiddan !

please click me or me.

The rewards/pahala for fasting this 6 days (in the month of Syawal) is equivalent to the rewards of a person fasting one year~! 

SO GRAB THIS OPPORTUNITY NOW !

WAllahua'lam.

HATI-HATI MERISIK

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim - in the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

"Beruntung Haura'. Abi kata, siapa nak risik Haura' bila Haura' besar nanti, Abi akan  pastikan Abi pernah tamrin dan musafir sekali dengan si dia. Tak sangka, Abi dah ada standard dia. Terer Abi, kan Haura'?!"

Jika memilih tidak bercinta sebelum berkahwin seperti kehendak syarak, jangan sampai berkahwin dengan seseorang yang kita tidak jelas tentang agama dan akhlaknya. Jangan mudah terpesona dengan apa yang terpapar di mata. Perlu merisik dengan bijaksana dan penuh kreativiti.
Macam-macam cara merisik.
Ada orang yang menghantar spy.
Ada yang  bertanya kepada keluarga dan jiran tetangga si dia.
Ada yang menilai melalui facebook dan blog si dia dalam diam...dan ada bermacam-macam  lagi bentuk risikan. Kreatif!
Merisik dengan cara berkawan-kawan dulu dengan si dia? Hmm, itu bukan merisik, tapi berpelesit. Ianya syubhat, kata Yusuf al-Qaradhawi. Tiada contoh begini yang ditunjukkan oleh golongan salafussoleh.
Lebih menarik, ada yang merisik melalui orang tengah yang amanah dan dihormati agama dan akhlaknya. Beruntunglah bagi mereka yang mengikuti mana-mana institusi usrah atau halaqah kerana mereka lebih mudah menemui orang tengah yang amanah.
Ikuti teladan  betapa berhati-hatinya Saidina Umar untuk mengenali peribadi seseorang. Saidina Umar semasa cuba menyingkapi keperibadian seseorang, beliau sudah meletakkan piawaian tertentu. Beliau tidak mudah tertipu melihat postur dan penampilan seseorang. Beliau meletakkan kayu ukur tertentu bagi menilai agama dan akhlak seseorang itu. Ketika datang seorang lelaki yang memberikan kesaksian untuk seseorang, Umar bertanya kepadanya:

Don't despair, choose patience instead =)

Bismillah.

If at one moment in time things seem good for you and suddenly comes a turning point to your smooth sailing, do not despair my dear brothers and sisters for:

Whenever Allah gives a blessing to His servant, and then takes it back from him, and the servant patiently endures his loss, then He rewards him with a blessing which is better than the one which He took back. 
(Umar bin Abdul-Aziz)

Ya'adheeman (Oh Magnificent) Nasheed


Bismillah.

MashaAllah, such a beautiful and meaningful nasheed that I'd like to share with all. *Mengalir air mata teringat kepada Allah. SubhanAllah.*



My soul is brightened by a light in my heart
When I praised God of mankind
And my soul is cheered up and the tears were flowing
Oh God, guide my heart to reason

In the tranquility of the night I pray worshiping
While the darkness is all around me
Oh Creator of the strong predatory animals, Guide me

Guide me to truth, God
I depend on your guidance today
Oh God of the Universe, You are my aid
You are the refuge of mankind in afterlife
Here I am God, asking your forgiveness
Forgive me and grant me my wish

Salam.

Du'a itu ibadah afdhal~



Bismillahirrahmanirrahim - in the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Salam 'alaykum,


Du'a itu ibadah yang afdhal, which means most superior. Du'a is also the most powerful weapon of a BELIEVER.

(Ghafir:60) maksudnya: "Dan Tuhan kamu berfirman: "Berdu'alah kamu kepadaKu nescaya Aku perkenankan du'a permohonan kamu. Sesungguhnya orang2 yang sombong penuh takbur daripada beribadah dan berdu'a kepadaKu, akan masuk neraka jahanam dalam keadaan yang hina."


(Ar-Rahman:29) maksudnya: "Sekalian makhluk yang ada di langit dan di bumi sentiasa berhajat dan memohon kepadaNya. Tiap2 masa ia di dalam urusan (mencipta dan mentadbir makhluk2Nya)"


Maka ingatlah kamu du'amu jangan putus biar apa jua pun keadaanmu itu:
(Al Baqarah:45,46) maksudnya: "Dan mohonlah pertolongan kepada Allah dengan sabar dan solat. Dan solat itu sungguhlah berat, kecuali bagi orang2 yang khusyuk, iaitu mereka yang yakin bahawa mereka akan menemui Tuhannya dan bahawa mereka akan kembali padaNya."


WAllahua'lam.
