AQ Verse~ (31:15 is spot on)

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

Alhamdulillah for I am still steadfast in this path; even if there are speed bumps every now and then that I have to drive through. But these bumps <-- His tests, I have to face as best as I can so as to not disappoint my Only One. Please continue to guide me and most importantly, please open the hearts of those whom I love and care for so much. Hear my prayers O' Allah.

***

(31:15) - But if they endeavour to make you associate with Me that of which you have no knowledge, do not obey them but accompany them in [this] world with appropriate kindness and follow the way of those who turn back to Me [in repentance]. Then to Me will be your return, and I will inform you about what you used to do.

Sikapku jelas tak sempurna

Aku hanya insan biasa

tetap ku bangga

atas apa yang ku punya

anugerah hidup yang aku miliki

Alhamdulillahi lathee bini matihi tatimmus saalihat - (praise be to Allah for all good things are perfected by Him)

P/s: Strangers can be kind, if you meet the good ones. They are willing to share deep and meaningful information with you. May Allah bless those who fall in this category.


Pp/s: As for me, I believe there is a reason behind every meeting because every moment of a mukmin's life is arranged by Allah (SWT) for a purpose.

FUN FACT: Hamidah is the equivalent name of Muhammad for females. Cool.


WAllahua'lam.

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.

Marking its 2nd Year

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

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. & Greetings,

It's now officially the end of ana's 2nd year as an amatullah (servant of Allah). To be honest, my reaction this time is truly different from the way I felt when I hit the end of my 1st year. (Year 1) I guess back then I was more naive and carefree (maybe cos I knew much less then.)

I am not AS enthusiastic or excited in the same way. It's not because I'm feeling or growing tired of being a Muslim. No, certainly not. I am still very much into Islam and this faith as I was when I first said my syahadah. In fact, my desire to perform my duties and obligations as a Muslimah has intensified by a great degree this year.

I am pretty sure it is due to this that I am not ecstatic about today. Those who would understand or empathise me are only those who are or have been in the same boat as me. This is why entering my 3rd year doesn't seem to appeal very much to me as it doesn't bring about any changes to the fact that I am still not able to perform many of my obligations. I live in lie every single day, and I wonder if my days are blessed. (Hidup ana bisa berkat ke, kalau hari2 hidup dalam penipuan? Astaghfirulla.. astaghfirulla.. astaghfirulla al adzim.) Thinking about this always bring me to tears. Last week, it almost broke me. After watching a video, it hit me so hard, I felt I am the most sinful being alive, which led me to the ultimate woe and probably could bring home the Guinness World Records for the extreme wail of the century <-- And no, I am not exaggerating here. Trust me. I couldn't believe myself for being capable of that. *shakes head* (Hence, I would like to express my utmost sincere appreciation to Farah Hani and Wahida Wahab for being my victims on Thanksgiving Day. Without picking up my calls, I might have done something utterly stupid, but the only other thing that stopped me is cos of the realisation that if I were to die, it means I took my own life and that means hell (Jahanam) for me. astaghfirulla. I am not willing. No.)

I guess I am welcoming my 3rd year in a different approach altogether
--> HAVING TO LEARN TO ACCEPT LIVING IN PASRAH.

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?!

Allahu Al Musta'an

Screams, screams, and screams. In dire need of a getaway, a rapid escape from this suffocation, even if it's only for a split second, just to release and rid of this excruciating, choking heart. A microsecond of it would mean a lot. Terasa dada sesak teramat. Astaghfirulla al adzim.. Weak and an ungrateful servant I am.

But I know there's sunshine behind that rain

I know there's good times behind that pain, hey

Can you tell me how I can make a change

I close my eyes and I can see a better day

I close my eyes and pray

[Pray, Bieber]

Doa penerang hati~

Bismillah.

YaAllah, mengapa tiba2 datang rasa sebegini?

Hatiku berdegup2 dan tidak tenang langsun, malah serabut amat. 

Adakah ana telah bersalah terhadap seseorang insanMu yaAllah? 

Telahkan hamba menyakiti insanMu yang lain tanpa kusedari?

Telahkah hamba mempergunakan insanMu yaAllah?

Jika jawapannya "Ya" buat mana2 soalan yang telah hamba tujukan,

To Allah we belong and unto Him shall we return~

Bismillah dan assalamualaikum wa rahmatullah.

Syukur kepada Ilahi ana panjatkan

Buat kesihatan anugerahNya

Baru seketika lalu diriku penuh kesakitan

Kesakitan yang bermacam-macam

Sakit kepala teruk, hati yang amat pilu,

Badan yang terasa menggigil, minda tidak tenang,

Badan yang terasa lemah sekali

Antara yang dideritai ana seketika yang lalu. (tersangatlah overwhelming buat diri ana)

***

Keseluruhan masa dalam keadaan terseksa itu,

Ana cuma mampu berdzikir dan berdoa kepada cintaku;

yaAllah yaRabbi,

ampunilah segala dosa-dosa, khilaf, dan kesalahan

hambaMu ini,

yang masih lemah, sentiasa alpa sekali leka,

Namun, tatkala hamba leka dan alpa terhadap perintah2Mu

Hamba memohon kepadaMu

Degan hati yang tulus ikhlas (inshaAllah)

Janganlah dibiarkan hamba jauh dariMu yaAllah

Bawakanlah hamba kembali ke jalan yang meredhaiMu yaAllah

Kerna tanpa nur cahaya dan hidayahMu yaAllah

Mana2 hamba juga bisa lalai dan jatuh ke jurang dosa

Hamba memohon dgn tiada penghujungnya yaAllah

Jauhilah hamba dari jurang azabMu yaAllah

Jauhilah hamba ini dari azab api nerakaMu yaAllah.

***

Hamba pinta belas kasihan dariMu yaAllah,

Petunjuk dan keimanan yang utuh yaAllah,

Walau hamba besar kemungkinan tidak layak

Buat masa ini, namun

Shukran jazilan yaAllah,

Kerna di saat ini,

Tuhanku yang penuh kasih sayang dan belas kasihan

Telahpun menganugerahkan hamba

kesihatan dan perasaan yang biasa semula

Sungguh ana syukur kepada Allah Ta’ala

Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji’un.

Reminiscence & GRADES~!! He Knows, while you know not~!!

If ana wrote something which is not accurate, please tell (tegur) ana and forgive ana for ana's carelessness. Not intentional for sure.

Want an A+ from HIM? Earn it! Prove that you're worth His Attention, Mercy, Love, etc.. Or is the A+ from your teachers more meaningful to you?

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

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.,

Alhamdulillah for I'm still able to add a blog post today. I bid everyone to be in good health and in the highest state of Iman. Aminn.

So, it's half past midnight and I just got home from school. Am having quite a tummy discomfort at the moment. Maybe cos I only had a bagel as my dinner? Oh well, still grateful at least I get to fill my stomach with some food ! Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah ! It may sound like it's not a big deal but let's thank Allah whenever we can, be it small or big, because when we remember Him, He'll remember us in return ! Be sure that fact gets etched in your mind ! =) **am having a very warm and soothing camomile with mint tea in hopes of helping my tummy ache+toasted bread with honey and za'tar spice** thank you Allah^_^

Alright, now moving on to the main point of this post. Haha. Sorry for the quite irrelevant intro.

Ever recalled yourself saying/arguing with your teacher, lecturer, instructor, TA, you name it; about how every single point matters to you? How you mentioned, fought, and cried for pity to be granted that few meager points for it'd help towards your final grade? Pointing and highlighting to him/her how it's all about the grades? How important grades are to you? Now now, try thinking when was the last time you thought/felt similarly with your SOLATS (prayers) ?! Dear ikhwah & akhawat (brothers & sisters), we human tend to allow ourselves to drown in the dunya. I mean, try pondering: Will those so called 'GREAT GRADES' guarantee you Jannah (paradise) ? Will those "grades" promise you His rewards? Will those "grades" please Him? or lead you to yhour ULTIMATE HAPPINESS? No, the answer to ALL those questions is a flat N O, NO! Do you realise how worked up especially us students (well obviously, this is the group of target since it's bout grades..) can get when it comes to grades and results? DO YOU GET THAT WORKED UP WHEN YOU MISS YOUR SOLAT(S) ?!! Astaghfirulla.. astaghfirullah.. astaghfirullahaladzim...~!! -_-"

(2:151-152)

Even as We have sent among you a Messenger (Muhammad S.A.W.) of your own, reciting to you Our Messages (the Al Qur'an) and purifying you, and teaching you the Scripture (the AQ) and the Hikmah (i.e. Sunnah, Islamic Laws and Fiqh), and teaching you that which you used not to know (new knowledge). Therefore remember Me; I shall remember you. Be grateful to Me, and reject not Faith (do not defy/act ungrateful with Me) !

However, this does not mean I'm encouraging you to not care about your grades at all. This does not also give you the green light to not put in your best efforts in your studies. Sure thing, school and its grades are pretty big deal for us because when it comes to black and white, what's seen are the letters imprinted on the official document. However, that is no reason for us to become too obsessed with it, and I quote, "God helps those who help themselves." Remember and keep in mind that we as Muslims who have Him with us, should live a lifestyle that aligns His words i.e. the Holy Al Qur'an. Always, always, apply the D.U.I.T. principle - Doa (Pray) . Usaha (Effort) . Ikhtiar (Initiative) . Tawakkal (Trust) . ~~~

Doa Usaha Ikhtiar Tawakkal = DUIT! Do It! =D

InsyaAllah, after applying D.U.I.T., whatever befalls you then, is what's best for us. Accept with open heart - we call it REDHA (kita redha je lah dgn apa yg direzekikan olehNya kpd kita). Maybe at the moment, you wouldn't understand why or maybe even to the extend of being really disappointed and sad, but "la tahzan (don't be sad)", -

(2:216)

"...but it is possible that you love a thing which is bad for you; and that you dislike a thing which is good for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not."

ALLAH KNOWS BEST~!

OK, ana will pen again another time. Now, it's time for me to finish my camomile mint tea and then tug myself in bed.

WAllahua'lam.

p/s: Alhamdulillah, praise to Allah for giving me the hidayah to write an article coupled with scriptures/verses from the AQ. Alhamdulillahi lathee bini-matihi tatimmus saalihaat. =)

 

Eating prayers~

Bismillah.

Today, ana went out to have some lunch with a good friend.

WARNING! : Don't forget, before you put that food into your mouth, please do read your eating prayers! or if you don't remember it, at least, please say "Bismillah". =)

Eating prayer - Allahumma bareeq lanaa fima razaaqtana wakeena azaa banaar


(aseef, ana not so sure of the spelling but that's how it sounds like. and it's really easy you know. maybe at first, it seems so long, just like it was for me the first few times ana started practising reading this prayer everytime before ana eat and alhamdulillah, 9/10 times ana remember to say it. but after one week, wah, you can say it easily. just like snapping your fingers!)


or an alternative is - Bisimillahi wa 'ala baraka-tillah (Hah, so short this one! No more complains OK?!!)
which translates to - With Allah's name and upon the blessings granted by Allah, do we eat. 


There's also prayer after your meals: Alhamduillahi lathee at amana wa saquana waja 'alana minal Muslimin.
Translation: All praise to Allah who gave us food and drink and who made us Muslims. =)

dessert time!! yummylicious~~ not exorbitant like in Malaysia

One thing ana dislike bout this country is the high tax charges. So sad, ana always paying for tax, which hinders me from giving them good tips sometimes. hmm..

Anyway, we walked a bit in the mall and here's a pretty nice fountain!~ Get to de-stress a bit from the hectic weekdays. Alhamdulillah..

All right, that's all and here's a picture=)

REMINDER!: Everyday, don't forget to give thanks to Allah (make this a kewajipan) in EVERY SOLAT (prayer) ! Many people forget to do that. It's such a simple thing, saying thank you i.e.. I mean, Allah gets a lot of prayers mentioning their hopes from Him, what they want to achieve, what they need, and so on, but only a handful remember to also include a simple "Thank you Allah for all that you've done for me". Do this in your sujud alright ikhwah and akhawat? x susah pun.. =)

WAllahua'lam

Taking a break~

Bismillah.

salam alaik..

Ana tengah sgt2xxxxxxxx tension sekarang sbb assignment ana yang susah tahap dewa.. rasa cam.... je.. aduhai.. yaAllah, tolonglah hambaMu ini.. kepadaMu lah segala kebergantunganku yaAllah..

anyway, sbb tengah stress sgt tu dan macam nak putus harapan, liana bukalah email check inbox..(hehe, biasanya bukak AQ tp tertinggal AQ kat sebelah katil lak..) tgk2 adik laki ana hantar kat kakaknya yg dia tahu sdg stress kepala buntu, a very simple yet clever joke yang telah berjaya melakarkan senyuman di mukaku ini untuk beberapa saat.. hehe.. ><

so, ana terasa nak share ngan semua lah.. =D ok.. kita play *drumroll* dulu and here goes:~

Do you know why carrots are good for your eyes??
.
.
.
.

It's cause you don't see rabbits wearing specs right??

hahahahahaha.. tergelak x? hmm kalau x, at least tersenyum skjap x? ^_^ kalau lgsung x tergerak, sorry ler, mungkin ana je kot yg lame.. huahua

ok.. itu saja.. afwan bagi kesengalan ana buat seketika ini.. sila excuse kan ana ok.. =)

as for ana's assignment tu, moga Allah membantu~!

Allah musta'an

Overwhelmed by my lack of knowledge~

Bismillah.

YaAllah, I'm overwhelmed by my lack of knowledge about Islam. Astaghfirullah.. and sometimes, when I come to learn new things and gain new informations, I actually tend to forget after a while if I don't actually think about it everyday. It's so saddening. Astagha.. Why can't I just remember everything that I hear, read, see, and have done before?

Salam,
Liana

Am I having a misleading thinking? (am I sesat?)

Bismillah.

Assalamualaikum to all,

As everyone is aware of the tragedies that befall Japan now; something struck me suddenly! I was thinking about who's worst off --- the survivors or the dead? If you were to ask me to choose, I'd be able to answer very easily: I'd definitely, without a doubt, choose to be amongst the dead. Well, this is because, the dead only suffers at that "spur of the moment" or in other words, just for a short time. As for the survivors, they have to go through SO SO SO MUCH MORE TO THE STAGE THAT IT IS OVERWHELMINGLY SCARY & UNFATHOMABLE~!! These survivors lose their family members, friends, houses, and basically everything~!! And now with the nuclear plant damage with the leakage and all, they are all exposed to the radiation that will highly cause cancer to so many victims! Not just cancer, there are so many other negative side effects when one is exposed to the radiation.

However, if I think about this from the perspective of Islam, it seems like I shouldn't choose to be amongst the dead but to be one of the survivors as all this crazy pain that I mentioned earlier would be the tests by Him~! and that I didn't actually lose everything because I always still have Him and my faith. Hmmm...

Also, I just want to know, is it wrong to want to die and leave the world? Is it wrong to have these sort of thoughts? Hmm..

WAllahua'lam.

Liana

p/s: please excuse me if this post seems to be more of a babble-like scribbling than a post.

Please allow a quick recuperation~

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

Salam alaik dear readers,

Please help to pray for my mom if you don't mind. The more the prayers, the more He will acknowledge and work to it.

YaALLAH, please help enable my mom to recuperate quickly. Thank you!

p/s: sometimes, family members never tell you when another family member is sick or admitted to the hospital due to some sickness; their intention is to prevent you from getting worried and worked up but then again, to me, it is always better if you let everyone of your family member to know of one another's situation because we are family. WE ARE A FAMILY and family members should depend and look out for each other. Let's not keep anything from one another.

WAllahua'lam.

Dear Allah~

Bismillahirahmanirrahim - In the name of Allah, Most Gracious and Most Merciful

Salam alaik,

O' Allah, please provide me the strength that I need, the wisdom that I require, the faith that I seek, the speed, discipline, and the patience that I should have in me, and the taqwa towards You. Also let me and make it possible for me to depend fully on You and only You, Allah Almighty, whom is my love, my inspiration, my motivation, my hope, my shelter, and etc. In other words, my EVERYTHING~!!

YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE CAPABLE OF HELPING AND GUIDING ME TOWARDS THE RIGHT PATH & TO SHOW ME THE LIGHT (HIDAYAH) TO BECOME A BETTER PERSON IN YOUR EYES. I SEEK TO BECOME A BETTER MUSLIM; BUT BECAUSE I AM WEAK ALLAH, YES, I AM INDEED STILL VERY VERY WEAK AND LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, THUS, I NEED YOU TO COME INTO MY LIFE MORE, AND I WILL ALSO TRY TO DO MY PART BY SEEKING YOU AS OFTEN AS I CAN. INSYAALLAH, WITH YOUR WILL, I SHALL ATTAIN THIS. AMIN.

Please be with me O' Allah. Do not abandon me or even give me a chance to go astray. Let me strengthen my faith in You by the day my Lord. That is what I wish and pray for. I can't wait until the day I become a devoted Muslim as that will be the moment I reach a phenomenal feeling of the ULTIMATE BLISS. =) ahh, I can't even imagine the satisfaction I will experience then! *SMILE*

WAllahua'lam.

Liana.

It has been A YEAR~!

Note: I don't normally share personal matters/issues here but I suppose this can be an exception? For it is such a great joy for me~~ :-)

 ALHAMDULILLAH~!

Salam alayk dear readers,

I just realised that it has been a year since I accepted and embraced Islam~!! Wow! That was quick! It definitely didn't feel like a year! I guess this probably shows that Islam has been a joy in my life. I am ever so grateful and happy to have found Islam; all praise and thanks to Allah Taala. If He hadn't shown me The Light (hidayah), The Guidance, or The Way, I wouldn't have become the person I am today! Allahu akbar~! and Praise be to Allah~! Without His Light and Kindness towards me, it's not a guarantee that I would be able to find and fall in love with Islam! (Frankly, I despise Islam before I learnt what it is which is THE ULTIMATE TRUTH!) 


I will never forget the day I embraced Islam, the day I automatically became connected to all my fellow brothers and sisters as we all have one thing in common, to constantly praise our One and Only Beloved Allah~!! Allahu akbar! Allahu akbar!! (God is Greatest!)


October 15th 2009 - the day I said the syahadah will be etched in my memory forever so I can tell my humble, average story to my grandkids when I'm old and fat, perhaps sitting in a rattan rocking chair? LOL =D


Ma'asalama wa ila liqa'. May Allah bless all of you and let's all pray that more and more people will discover the wonders of Islam as time progresses. Amin.
