Never lose hope in Allah's (SWT) Mercy

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

Ana's current favourite nasheed. Gives me such hope and peace+grace of God within my soul. Alhamdulillahi lathee bini matihee tatimmus salihaat. (All praises to Allah for all good things are perfected by Him)

God always does things right,

His way is ALWAYS the best way,

If you asked God for one thing and received another,

TRUST.

You can be sure that He will always give you what you need at the appropriate time.

You will get it in times of your need, I did. =)

Which standard of "religious" are you?

Bismillah.

Salam and greetings,

So I was listening to a sermon during a Friday's prayer few weeks back and I recall wanting to write about it here but well, time's a constraint so too bad. Anyway, here's a statement that is still vivid:

There are 2 standards of being a "religious" person:

1) The more Islamic knowledge you possess, the more "religious" you are.

2) The more spiritual you are, the more "religious" you are.

Upon mention of these hypothesis, I was pretty intrigued by it and I somehow subconsciously had it repeated in my head for a few minutes and consequently, it's pretty much etched in my brain. Haha.

So, which one are you? Or maybe none fits you? Lol.

Anyway, I put religious in quotation marks because there are many ways to interpret that term. I'm not being sarcastic or pointing fingers to anyone, it's just.. yeah, sila tepuk dada tanya Iman;

Are you alim OR warak? 

WAllahua'lam.

P/s: The term "alim" is very commonly misinterpreted and thus its usage is well, also wrong most of the time.

BIG test, yet again.

Bismillah.

I seek You, and only YOU.

YaAllah,
Kasihanilah hambaMu yang lemah dan daif ini
Senantiasalah tuntun diri ini yang masih byk kekurangan
Yang masih penuh bintik-bintik hitam.





O' Allah,
I hope for Your mercy
Leave me not to myself even for a blink of an eye
I ask You by Your every name, revealed in Your Book;
Make the Qur'an the spring of my heart
The Light of my chest
The banisher of my sadness
The reliever of my distress
The strength of my weakness
The remedy of my pain
The medicine of my sickness
The solution of my tests and hurdles
The EVERYTHING of my LIFE.

Dear Allah,
I ask not of You to ease the tests You send unto me
BUT
I ask of You to strengthen me
Stream me the ability
Provide me the perseverance
Fill me with patience
Pump me FULL TANK with Your Love and Mercy;




So I can face Your hard core tests confidently
Free from worries of disappointing You,
my Creator,
my Lover,
MY ONLY ONE.

Salam.

The greater the struggle, the more glorious the triumph.

Hook up with Allah, Allah will hook you up~!

Bismillah.

Assalamualaikum & Greetings to all !

Take a sneek peek -->

"What is hooking up with a brother or sister on gchat or facebook worth in comparison to hooking up with the One who can hook you up?

As Shaykh Muhammad Faqih once said, "Hook up with Allah, Allah will hook you up!"

Let's hook up with salah! Hook up with the Qur'an! Hook up with community work for Allah's Sake! And have certainty that when we struggle to please Allah (SWT), Ash-Shakoor is the Most Appreciative of our work and will undoubtedly reward us.

Will that reward be in the form of an amazing spouse and an amazing marriage? Allah knows best. But the best part is that Allah knows what is BEST for us and that His Bounties are limitless!"

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. =)

The Importance of Love for ALLAH~

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

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah & greetings dear readers,

Thank God for today and may we all be in our highest state of Iman always as well as in good health~!

As promised, this is the sequel to the previous post:

Allah states in the Holy and Glorious Al Qur'an-->

(Al Baqarah, 2:165) - And those who believe are INTENSE IN THEIR LOVE FOR ALLAH.

The sign of complete and perfect Iman (faith) is deep and intense love for Allah SWT. This love remains constant over time, unaffected by the ever-changing conditions of LIFE.

Love may be called love, BUT IT IS NOT LOVE IF IT LACKS INTENSITY,

The ways of love are well established; THERE IS NO ROOM FOR INNOVATION.

LOVE FOR ALLAH SWT changes the bitterness in one's life to pure bliss and sweetness. No depression or anxiety afflicts the one who is attached to his Lord.

Love causes all the bitter to become sweet and silver to turn gold,

Love erases all difficulty; love is the cure for all pain.

So, let's love Him with all our heart, body, mind, & soul. Let's love him with our utmost sincerity. YOSH~! Do put effort in this as we have to show Him that we're worthy of His Love & Guidance as the phrase goes, "Want His Hidayah? Prove your worthiness first~!!" 

The next post will touch on the relationship on how sincerity (i.e. to do things earnestly and genuinely) can lead to one's happiness and the engrossed(khusyuk) feeling be it in solat or in our daily activities. Anyway, I'm looking forward to write that post. =)

What is Salat ISTIKHARAH?~

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

Salam alaik and greetings to all readers,

First and foremost, let's give thanks to God (Allah) for the good health and ni'mat given unto us. Alhamdulillah~ =))

Alright~! So, today ana would like to share some general information on the salat istikharah prayer, which is one of the many sunnah prayers(customary prayers) there are. Ok, the rest is going to be pretty much manglish i.e. malay+english. Lol. Peace~~

SO WHAT IS SALAT ISTIKHARAH and WHO'S TO PERFORM IT?~


Ok, istikharah ni ramai sangatlah orang yang salah faham dan fikir ia hanya dilakukan apabila time bingung dan confused dalam memilih jodoh (untuk perkahwinan) tp ACTUALLY, IT HAS A BROADER MEANING & COVERAGE. It's in fact designed for those people that have hajat or cita2 untuk berbuat sesuatu perkara/pekerjaan tetapi mereka ni ragu2 dlm pekerjaan atau maksud perkara itu (say for example: nak buat major course ni ke ni? patut terima biasiswa ni ke loan ni ke? patut amik kerja ni ke yang tu? patut ke aku kahwin dia ke this is a big mistake? and etc.), whether it's wise or not to go on with it, and hence, it is suggested that in order for you to be able to choose whether to go on with that something or decide that it is not good for you, is to perform salat istikharah sebanyak 2 rakaat. Perkara ini dilanjurkan sendiri oleh Rasulullah (pbuh) dlm sabdanya yg bermaksud: apbl seseorang hendak melakukan sesuatu, hendaklah dia rukuk dgn 2 rukuk(smbhyg 2 rakaat) selain drpd sembahyang fardhu.

SO HOW TO PERFORM THIS SUNNAH PRAYER?~


Ok, ada 2 cara untuk melaksanakan smbhyg sunat istikharah ini iaitu
1) 2 rakaat + 1 salam
2) 12 rakaat + 6 salam
Ana x elaborate secara detail on this part tapi ana nak highlight sesuatu yg penting i.e. bila nak memulakan solat ini, hendaklah kita kuruskan hati ini. Macam mana? Dengan menyerahkan segala2 urusan SEPENUHNYA kepada Allah SWT~! Rehatkan dan lapangkan akal fikiran anda drpd memikirkan/menimbangkan sama ada perkara tersebut elok dibuat atau tidak. hah, kita serahkan sahaja kepadaNya. percayalah Allah. =)

WHAT'S THE HIKMAH BEHIND THIS SALAT?~

Ok, bagi golongan orang2 yg beriman:

1) cara ini menunjukkan dan menandakan bahawa mereka itu kembali kepada Tuhan mereka. =)

2) ia dapat menghilangkan segala keresahan atau kebingungan kita dalam menentukan pilihan yang betul dan tepat. Dengan mengosongkan fikiran dan hati serta menyerahkan segala urusan kepada Allah, kita akan diberi pilihan yang terbaik untuk diri dan agama. InshaALLAH~~

3) kita tidak akan menyalahkan diri sendiri jika berlaku sesuatu yang tidak baik as a consequence atau outcome of the decision that we take because we are confident that that is what Allah has fixed for us. Kita yakin bahawa itulah yang dikehendaki Allah yang pasti mempunyai banyak hikmah, kalau tidak di dunya pun, di akhirat nanti. inshaAllah~~

4) melaksanakan salat ini juga menandakan keikhlasan seseorang hamba terhadap Tuhannya~! Dgn melakukan sembhyg ini, dia meniadakan kehendak peribadinya dan menyerahkan diri dan semua urusannya kepada Allah SWT. =)

AFTER PERFORMING IT, HOW TO KNOW GOD'S ANSWERS?~

Ok, jawapan daripada Allah sama ada perkara itu elok atau tidak elok untuk diteruskan itu akan didatangkan kepada kita dengan:

1) rasa hati/gerak hati, iaitu hati itu merasakan keinginan yang kuat untuk melakukan perkara itu atau tidak

2) dengan mimpi

3) atau dengan deipermudahkan jalannya bagi sesuatu perkara itu untuk berlaku ataupun sebaliknya (i.e. macam banyak je perhalangan apabila anda meneruskan dgn hajat/cita2 tersebut..)

TETAPI, AH PAUSE SEKEJAP, TETAPI SEMUA INI DGN SYARATNYA, iaitu sebelum melakukan sunat Istikharah ini, janganlah kita menyimpan kecenderungan hendak kita sendiri mengikut pertimbangan akal fikiran, TETAPI HENDAKLAH MENGOSONGKAN HATI, AKAL, & KEPALA dan serahkan urusan itu sepenuhnya secara total kepada Allah SWT.

ADDITIONAL NOTES~~

1) Kalau kita ikut kebiasaan, orang ramai mengerjakan solat sunat Istikharah ini selama 3 malam berturut-turut atau lebih baik sehingga 7 malam di samping meletakkan sepenuh keyakinan kepada Allah. Maka dengan itu, laksanakanlah dengan yakin perkara yang dirasakan kuat di dalam hati setelah selesai solat bermalam2 secara berturut2.

Ini adalah berdasarkan sepotong hadith Nabi Muhammad(pbuh):

"Apabila kamu bercita2 untuk mengerjakan sesuatu, maka hendaklah kamu meminta(sembahyang Istikharah) drpd Allah sebanyak tujuh kali. Selepas itu, lihatlaha apa yang digerakkan pada hati oleh Allah dan mendahulukan hal itu, kerana sesungguhnya kebaikan itu ada pada yang didahulukan."

2) Ok, ana jg ada doa simple yang boleh digunakan sebagai reference untuk doa bila buat sunat Istikharah ini:

"YaAllah yaRabbi, hamba penuh dengan dosa2 dan kesalahan, ampunilah hambaMu yaAllah, rahmatilah hamabMu. YaAllah yaRabbi, tunjukkanlah yang terbaik bagi hamba, pilihkanlah yang terbaik bagi hamba YaAllah kerna sebaik2 rencana/rancangan, tetap rencanaMu yang terbaik. Amin yaRabbilalamin~"

Salam alaik to all,

I wish everyone's in the pink of health and always in God's blessings!

The stronger the faith you have within you, the more difficult the trials you will face. But if you see the hidden blessings of the difficult tests, then you will have the potential to increase your wisdom, to increase your faith and to develop and build your personal character. So, be happy when Allah SWT tests you with difficulties as He has given you an opportunity to get closer to him through those trials. Remember, Allah is Most Wise and Most Knowing.

Note: I know it's easier said than done.. to be happy when we are tested with great difficulties.. but it doesn't hurt to just try our best and trust Him ! Leave everything in His hands and believe in Him! Let's HAVE FAITH~!! right? =)

Jangan terkejar KESEMPURNAAN dalam BERCINTA~

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

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah,

Sekadar ingin berkongsi artikel yang dijumpai di blog akhwat lain. Moga dapat belajar satu dua perkara dari coretan berikut -->
 

Jika kamu memancing ikan . . .

setelah ikan itu terlekat di mata kail . . .

hendaklah kamu mengambil ikan itu. . .

jangan sesekali kamu LEPASKAN semula kedalam air begitu sahaja . . .

kerana ia akan SAKIT kerana bisanya . . .

ketajaman mata kail kamu & ia mungkin akan MENDERITA selagi ia masih hidup . . .

Begitulah juga . . .

Setelah kamu memberi banyak PENGHARAPAN kepada seseorang . . .

setelah dia mula MENYAYANGI kamu . . .

hendaklah kamu MENJAGA hatinya . . .

janganlah sesekali kamu terus MENINGGALAKNYA begitu sahaja . . .

kerana dia akan TERLUKA oleh kenangan bersamamu . . .

dan mungkin TIDAK dapat MELUPAKAN segalanya selagi dia masih mengingatimu . . .

___________________________________________________________________

Jika kamu MENADAH air biarlah berpada . . .

jangan terlalu berharap pada takungannya dan menggangap ia begitu teguh. . .

cukuplah sekadar untuk KEPERLUANMU sahaja. . .

kerana apabila ia mula retak. . .

tidak sukar untuk menampal dan memperbaikinya semula. . .

dan bukannya terus dibuang begitu sahaja. . .

begitulah juga. . .

Jika kamu sedang memiliki seseorang. . .

TERIMALAH dia seadanya. . .

janganlah kamu terlalu mengaguminya dan menggangapkan dia begitu istimewa. . .

anggaplah dia manusia biasa. . .

kerana apabila dia melakukan KESILAPAN. . .

tidaklah sukar untuk MEMAAFKAN dan MEMBOLEHKAN

hubungan kamu akan TERUS ke akhir hayat

dan bukannya MENGHUKUMNYA dan MENINGGALKAN

dia begitu sahaja kerana kamu merasa terlalu kecewadengan sikapnya. . .

lalu semuanya akan TERHENTI begitu sahaja. . .

_________________________________________________________________

Jika kamu MEMILIKI sepinggan nasi. . .

yang kamu pasti baik untuk diri kamu. . .

yang MENGENYANGKAN dan BERKHASIAT. . .

mengapa kamu perlu berlengah lagi?

cuba mencari makanan yang lain? . .

kerana terlalu ingin mengejar kelazatan. . .

kelak, nasi itu akan BASI sendiri dan kamu tidak boleh menikmatinya lagi. . .

kamu akan menyesal. . .

Begitulah juga. . . .

Jika kamu telah bertemu dengan seorang INSAN. . .

yang kamu pasti boleh membawa KEBAIKAN kepada dirimu. . .

MEYAYANGIMU. . .MENGASIHIMU. . . dan MENCINTAIMU. . .

mengapa kamu berlengah lagi?

cuba membandingkannya dengan yang lain. . .

terlalu mengejar KESEMPURNAAN. . .

kelak, dia akan BERJAUH HATI dan kamu akan KEHILANGANNYA apabila dia menjadi milik orang lain. . . kamu juga yang akan MENYESAL dan tidak ada gunanya lagi. . .

Oleh itu janganlah kita terlalu mengejarkan KESEMPURNAAN kerana ia bukanlah faktor utama KEBAHAGIAAN. Sedangkan jika kita boleh memaafkan KESILAPAN orang yang kita sayang dan akur dengan KELEMAHANNYA sebagai manusia biasa serta BERSYUKUR dengan apa yang kita sudah MILIKI InsyaAllah kita akan BAHAGIA, BAHAGIA, dan terus BAHAGIA. . itu lebih BERMAKNA!

"Begitu hidup ini tiada yang abadi yang patah Kan tumbuh yang hilang Kan berganti, namun yang berganti tidak mungkin sama seperti yang telah pergi..."

Just a side note to add: Please bear in mind that if you want His blessings in your love life, let it be only when you're married to someone (as we all know that dating is not recognised in Islam). Apply this to your marriage life for an ever lasting marriage both here on Earth and Hereafter.  Bersyukurlah (be thankful) to Allah for whomever He has given unto you as He knows best what's good and what's not for you. Panjatkanlah sykur kepada illahi dgn jodoh yang ditetapkanNya untukmu. Moga2 Allah merahmati segalanya.

Someone's Reversion to Islam~! SubhanAllah~!

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

Ana want to share a story of someone reverting into Islam that ana came across while blog walking. Here's his post (please note those in [...] are ana's annotations.)

"Assalamu Alaikum,

Today's post is about my conversion to Islam, together with a brief history of my life to add a bit more to the post.


I was born into this Dunya in 1977 into a Christian family .. Well a family that lasted all of 4 months. My parents divorced, my dad didn't want me and my mother couldn't cope with looking after me. 

So, my grandparents, also christian, (from my mum's side. They adopted her when she herself was a baby) took me in a raised me .. until the age of 3 when my grandfather passed away and my grandmother was deemed not well enough to look after me.

So, for 3 years I went from one foster home to another, until the age of 6 years old. My dad wanted me back. So, I went to live with my dad, his 2 kids from his new family and his new wife. However, the step-mum didn't like me, the kids (5 and 8) felt I was a threat and it just went downhill. I ended up as a punch bag for my father whenever he had a bad day at work. I also remember (we lived near the seaside) that my dad would take me to a shop and let me choose a bamboo stick with the fishing net at the end. They were really colourful and I always chose blue. Not that I got to use them ... my dad did .. on me .. when we got home he'd remove the fishing net, and then use the bamboo stick on me.

I think my teacher at school knew I was being abused, as she gave me the bible to read with a lovely message (that she'd wrote) at the front. 

That was when I started reading the bible.

During the age of 7 years old, my father dropped me off at a children's home and said he'd pop by now and then to see me. I wasn't sure what was going on, but 2 things came of it. I never saw my father again and I never got beat again.

The next 10 years of my life I spent in this children's home. And I have to say it was quite cool having loads of "Aunt's" looking after me. However, there were a few times when I was still young when I would get beat (in a sense) by some of the staff. I didn't understand at first, it was only when I was in my teens and witnessed it happen to the then youngsters. Some staff members would provoke the children (who were from broken homes, or had ADD), and then spend the next hour restraining them. Yeah, some youngsters needed to be restrained but being there a few years I learnt that some staff would come into work with a chip on their shoulders and target children. There wasn't much that I could do until when I was about 14/15 and thankfully it stopped and for the last few years in the children's home I was like a big brother to all the children at the home and the staff had a lot of respect for me.

All throughout this time I continued to read the Bible [same here], and as I got older I became to understand it better and better .. but, I just didn't feel a connection to it [exactly how ana felt. somehow, ana didn't feel any spiritual connection to God]. I believed in God, but the Bible just ... did not feel right .. there was something missing [ana thought so too]. So, around 15/16 I stopped reading the Bible[ana never stopped. haha..just continued on and on], but I "knew" there was a God, and that we were all created for a purpose, but I believed that it would come to me as I was older... the answer .. that all I needed to do was "wait".

At the age of 17 years old I took social services to Court. Nothing bad, I just wanted my own Independence and sought to be released as their responsibility. At around the same time my grandmother died. At the same time my mother came back on the scene. My grandmother had let her inheritance to me, but my mum wanted it. I didn't want to fight her, so I allowed he to take want she wanted, she disappeared again, and I still had enough to be able to set up renting a place with nice furniture. 

Despite my grades at school not being too good, I ended up in an accountancy firm. One of the Partners took me in as a filing clerk, and I've never left, working my way up.

Anyway, throughout my 20's .. I did exactly what I mentioned above .. I waited .. for the true message from God. But, I did it .. literally .. I kept to myself, got home from work every night and sat in front of the TV... waiting for the message of God to land on my lap. I did that for 8 years.

By the time I was approaching 30 I realised my life was passing before my eyes and that I should go out there and FIND THE TRUTH.

At around the age of 25, a Muslim woman joined the firm. This was my first encounter with a Muslim. I was curious as to why she wore something on her head, but never approached her. It was only when I was 28 and she moved into my team (I was her Supervisor), that we got talking ... about Islam and The Prophet (saw). She lent me some books, but they were more about the spiritual side of Islam and although very nice and comforting, they were out of my league and I didn't really understand. So, I left it. But it kept niggling at the back of my mind. So, one day when we were talking I asked her more about her religion and she talked, with a lot of passion, about Muhammed (saw), and I realised that I was already living my life trying to strive for those values that he himself had lived. So, she gave me a book about his life and Sunnah.

AND BAM! The connection hit me so hard. I cried so hard, this man, who I had never met, was my inspiration. I had spent my entire life dealing with people with evil in their hearts that I'd given up on people, just wanting to keep to myself.

The more I read about The Prophet (saw) the connection got stronger and stronger.

I was given a Quran too but I couldn't read it, and it just ended up on my mantelpiece. However, I met the Sister's 5 brothers and they talked about Islam with me and gave me a translated Quran.

At the age of 30, in February 2008, along with 3 of these brothers, I attended a Mosque and took my Shahadah.

I haven't looked back since, Alhamdullilah Islam is a religion of Peace, and love and mercy [this is how ana feels about Islam too]. I try to take on as many SUnnah's as I can, and Insha'Allah I strive every day to meet The Prophet (saw) in Jannah."

hope you all enjoyed reading it as ana did. =)

What is Tarbiyyah?~

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim - In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Z

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. to all,

My previous post is a quote that has the word Tarbiyyah in its structure. Just in case there are some people who are not familiar with this term, here's a pretty clear and brief description of tarbiyyah:

The word "Tarbiyyah" is an Arabic word that linguistically means increase, growth, and loftiness. Conventionally, Tarbiyyah means the development and the training of people in various aspects.

In this context, the word Tarbiyah refers to the systematic development and training of Muslims. It is a continuous and comprehensive process of developing all aspects of the Muslim character/personality, i.e. spiritual, intellectual, moral, social, and physical aspects. The Tarbiyyah process aims to put Muslims on the path of constant self-purification, self-correction and self-development(Tasfiyah), and instill in them the passion for truth, righteousness, and justice. 

It is an approach which traces its origins to the Qur'an and to the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (saw), as he invested efforts in the education/training of his companions. As a result of his exertions, he not only left a great message, the message of Islam, but a great generation that carried and spread the message all over the globe - bringing humanity from darkness into His Light. 

It is this quality of people that the Prophet (saw) nurtured that constitute the secret behind the miracle of Islam.


The focus of Tarbiyyah is to groom participants who are distinguished, strive for excellence, have a sense of mission, are self-motivated, conduct a balanced life, live in peace with themselves and their environment, be equipped with the necessary knowledge, understanding, and skills to make a difference in the society by taking an active role - both individually and collectively - in the reform process that seeks to make the betterment of our community, our country, and the entire world.

WAllahua'lam.
