What can Muslims do when we miss others?

Bismillah.

When you miss someone, be it mummy, daddy, family, etc..:

Make lots of du'as for them.. For their safety, protection and steadfastness.

There isn't really any shortcut when it comes to the matter of the heart. No doubt it's difficult to deal with such emotions, especially women as Allah made us that way.

But alhamdulillah, Allah SWT is there for us at all times. Make the AQ your mate and reflect upon it. Listen to nasheed (I love Ya Adheeman) to develop you peace of the mind.

Fill your heart, mind, body and soul with Allah SWT as truly, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest, ease and serenity, iA.

Some du'as we can recite:

1. Hasbiyallahu wa ni'mal wakeel

Allah is sufficient for me and what an Excellent Patron He is

2. Allahumma rahmataka arjoo , falaa takilnii ilaa nafsee tarfatha aynin wa aslih lee sha'nee kullahu, Laa ilaaha ila anta

O' Allah, I look upon Your Mercy, so leave me not to myself even a blink of an eye and set right all my affairs. There is no deity except You

3. Allahumma agfirlee khatee'atee wa jahlee wa israfee fee amree wa maa anta a'lamu bihi minnee

O' Allah, forgive all my sins, my ignorance, my squandering in my matters and whatever You know more about me than myself

4. Allahumma alhimnee rushdee wa ai'zinee min sharri nafsee

O' Allah, give me a conviction of the goodness of my faith and save me from the base tendencies of my own self.

oh, and don't forget to smile.. =) haha

WAllahua'lam.

Always go back to Him. Always.

Prophet (SAW)'s Prayers

When in any difficulty Recite: اللَّهُمَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَرْجُو فَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَأَصْلِحْ شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ "O Allah, I hope for Your mercy, do not leave me for even the duration of an eye blink (duration) and correct my total condition. Besides You there is none worthy of worship". (Hisnul Hasin) Alternate dua حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ "Allah is sufficient for us and He is the Best Guardian". (Quran, Surah Al-Imraan) Alternatively recite اللَّهُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئَاً "Allah is my Lord, I do not ascribe anything unto Him". (Hisnul Hasin from Abu Dawood) or recite يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ "O Alive and everlasting One, I beseech You by Your mercy". (Mustadrak Hakim) لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ "O Allah, there is none worthy of worship besides You. You are Pure, definitely I have oppressed my soul by sinning". The Qur'an states that these words were recited when Yunus (A.S.) called upon Allah from the belly of the fish. Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) stated in a hadith that when any Muslim makes this dua via these words to Allah, then Allah surely accepts his duas. (Tirmidhi etc) It is stated in a hadith that لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ is the medicine for 99 ailments, the least of which is depression. (Baihaqi in Dawatul Kubra) It means that these words are so beneficial and useful that big/great grievances, depression and sorrow are easily removed in its stride. Abdullah bin Abbas (R.A.) narrates that Prophet Mohammad (S.A.W.) stated that if a person constantly makes "Astaghfar", then Allah removes every difficulty, frees him from every sorrow and makes a means for him to receive sustencance from places that he never thought of. (Mishkat from Ahmad) When tired of life Due to difficulty death is sought but one should never pray for death instead pray this: اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا كَانَتِ الْحَيَاةُ خَيْرٌ لِي وَتَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْرَاً لِي "O Allah keep me alive as long as is good for me and when death is better for me lift me". (Mishkat)

Exam fever.. Some du'as please?

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

the copy that I always have with me..~

Assalamualaikum and Greetings to all,

I believe exams are around the corner for many, or maybe some of you is in the midst of it as I am writing this post. Well, sorry for posting this a tad bit late. Should have done it a month ago or so.

Anyway, let's cut stories short and go straight to a list of prayers which are highly useful and suitable for many of us, inshaAllah:
___________________________________________

DU'A BEFORE STUDYING

Allahuma infa' nii bimaa 'allamtanii wa'aallimnii maa yanfa' unii - O' Allah! Make useful for me what You taught me and teach me knowledge that will be useful to me. 

Allahumma inii as 'aluka fahmal-nabiyyen wa hifthal mursaleen al-muqarrabeen - O' Allah! I ask You for the understanding of the Prophets and the memory of the messengers, and those nearest to You.

Allahumma innaka 'ala matasha 'u qadeer wa anta hasbunallahu wa na'mal wakeel - O' Allah! You do whatever You wish and You are my availer and Protector and the best of aid. 

DU'A WHEN YOU FIND SOMETHING BECOMING DIFFICULT

Allahumma la sahlan illa ma ja 'altahu sahlan wa anta taj 'alul hazna iza shi'ta sahlan - O' Allah! Nothing is easy except what You have made easy. If You wish, You ease sorrow. [Ibn Hibban in his Sahih (no. 2427), and Ibn As-Sunni (no.351). Al-Hafidh (Ibn Hajar) said this]

DU'A FOR ANXIETY

Allahumma inni a'oodhoo bika minal-hammi walhuzni, wal 'ajzi wal-kasali wal-bukhli wal-jubni, wa dal 'id-dayni wa ghalabatir rijaali - O' Allah! I seek refuge in You from anxiety and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, from being overcome by debt and from being overpowered by men (i.e. others) [Sahih al-Bukhari 7:158]

DU'A FOR DISTRESS

Allahumma rahmataka arjoo falaa takilnee ilaa nafsee tarfata 'aynin wa aslih-lee sha'nee kullahu, laa illaha illa anta - O' Allah! It is Your mercy that I hope for so do not leave me in charge of my affairs even for a blink of an eye and rectify for me all of my affairs. None has the right to be worshipped but You. [Abu Dawud 4/324, Ahmad 5/42. Al-Albani graded it as good in Sahih Abu Dawud 3/959]

DU'A AFTER STUDYING

Allahumma inni astaodeeuka ma qara'tu wama hafaz-tu. Allahumma faradduhu 'allaya inda hagati elayhi. - O' Allah! O entrust You with what I have read and I have studies.  O' Allah! Bring it back to me when I am in need of it.

___________________________________________

It would be a great idea to have this printed and up on your wall in your cosy room or pinned in front of your study table. Suggestion: You can highlight the du'as with colorful highlighters (make it look pleasant to look at, haha.)

Last but not least, ma'at taufiq wan najah to all exam takers. May Allah provide guidance and be with us all the time. Aminn yaRabbal al amin.

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.

Aku ingin mencintaiMu, ingin mendekatiMu~~

Bismillah.

Tuhan betapa aku malu
atas semua yang Kau beri
padahal diriku terlalu sering membuat-MU kecewa
Entah mungkin kerna ku terlena
sementara Engkau beri aku kesempatan
berulang kali agar aku kembali
dalam fitrahku sebagai manusia untuk menghamba pada-MU
betapa tak ada apa-apanya
aku dihadapan-MU

Aku ingin mencintai-MU setulusnya
sebenar-benar aku cinta
dalam doa
dalam ucapan
dalam setiap langkahku
aku ingin mendekati-MU selamanya
sehina apapun diriku
ku berharap untuk bertemu dengan-MU
ya Rabbi~

Lirik lagu "Aku ingin mencintaiMu by eDCoustic"

Kupasrahkan semua padaMu & kini kuharapkan cintaMu~

Bismillah

Wahai Pemilik nyawaku

Betapa lemah diriku ini

Berat ujian dariMu

Kupasrahkan semua padaMu

Tuhan.. Baru ku sedar

Indah ni'mat sihat itu

Tak pandai aku bersyukur

Kini kuharapkan cintaMu

Kata-kata cinta terucap indah

Mengalun dzikir di kidung doaku

Sakit yang kurasa biar jadi penawar dosaku

Butir-butir cinta air mataku

Teringat semua yang Kau beri untukku

Ampuni khilaf dan salahku selama ini

Ya Ilahi....

Muhasabah cintaku...

Tuhan... Kuatkan aku

Lindungiku dari putus asa

Jika ku harus mati

Pertemukan aku denganMu

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~"

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

Dear Allah~

Bismillah.

O' Allah, please make me patient with every trial of Yours~

yaAllah, jadikanlah aku penyabar dan bersabar dengan setiap dugaanMu~

Allah musta'an (to Allah we seek help)

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. to all,

I read an article written by a Malaysian Muslim Celebrity, kak Wardina Safiyyah on how she taught her daughter the importance of performing the 5 mandatory daily prayers (solat). MasyaAllah, I am so impressed with her strong will, perseverance, determination and discipline! I am so touched and can't describe how happy I am for her. One day, one fine day, if I am blessed by Allah to become a mum, may Allah enable me to be as strong and as good as kak Wardina in raising my children the right way. Praise be to Allah for Muslims of her likes! alhamdulillahi lathee bini-matihi tatimmus saalihaat.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.,

Al yaum (today), ana would like to urge all ikhwah2 (brothers) and akhwat2 (sisters) to contribute du'a (prayers) for those in Japan, not just pray for our brothers and sisters, but also for the non-Muslims. Remember, Allah says (berfirman) to us Muslims to be good to all mankind without discrimination~! We have to be thoughtful especially to those who are in great need; in this case, the people in Japan. YaAllah, do you see how unfortunate they are? Bodies washed up on shores until the officials have a hard time to deal with the corpses and there are millions of homeless people, the hospitals are overwhelmed with injured victims and they're running out of medicine supplies. Some people are stranded without food, water, heat and shelter for days! Astaghfirullahaladzim. Pity them. And the death toll has reached 10,000. ='(

SO, LET'S PRAY FOR THEM ALL~!!

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.

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*

Let's PRAY for our fellow brothers and sisters in Egypt~!!

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.


Assalamualaikum wbt to all,


Let us all pray for our fellow brothers and sisters who are now in Egypt as the situation there has gotten really bad. I really believe the internet has been cut off by the government and that the place is in havoc too. It's also dangerous because there are criminals out on the run. Houses are being robbed, women are being kidnapped and raped, etc. 


The least we can do is to DUA for them. May Allah protect those who have faith in Him and dua for their safety! May He help to bring balance and peace back to the city as soon as possible. Amin.

The REMEDY to sorrow, grief, anxiety, depression, and etc.~~

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. and greetings to all,

In today's effort of spreading the words of God, I would like to share something great and very beneficial to all of us. This is especially for students and busy, working parents; these 2 categories always face challenges that leads to sorrow, depression, anxiety, grief, and many more. So, whenever you're hit with these feelings again, here's a quick and efficient remedy, insyaAllah -->

Recite this dua:

‘O Allah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your maidservant, my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is ever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every name belonging to You which You have named Yourself with, or which you revealed in Your Book, or which You taught to any of Your creation, or which You have preserved in the knowledge of the Unseen with You, that You make the Al-Qur’an the life of my heart and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety,” – but Allah will take away his distress and grief, and replace it with ease.’ He was asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, should we not learn it?’ He said, ‘Of course, whoever hears it should learn it.’

The Prophet [SAW] told us that if we find ourselves in a state of sorrow, anxiety, depression or sadness, we should make the afore-mentioned dua. 

“Make Al Qur'an the life of my heart and the light of chest!”

It’s as if Rasool Allah [SAWS] is saying that if you’re depressed/sad/anxious/sorrowful, then the way to relieve this is to make your life revolve around the Quran! Because once you read the Quran, you will find:

الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُم بِذِكْرِ اللّهِ أَلاَ بِذِكْرِ اللّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ

• peace and tranquility of the heart [13:28]

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاء وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلاَ يَزِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ إَلاَّ خَسَارًا

• physical and spiritual healing (shifaa), and mercy [17:82]

As for the one who turns away from it?

وَمَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَن ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنكًا وَنَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعْمَى

“But whosoever turns away from My Reminder (i.e. neither believes in this Qur’an nor acts on its orders, etc.) verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection.” [20:124]

Wallahuálam.

O My Lord~

Please be with me. Help me through difficult, bumpy, and challenging moments. Please show mercy and grant me strength, wisdom, faith, patience, calm mind, knowledge, and whatever more that You deem is necessary for me. I am only a mere slave of Yours trying to face and lead life as best as I can in the way of truth i.e. Islam. Hence, I seek from You opportunities and chances. Please watch over me O Allah Almighty~! Allahu akhbar~ Glory and all praise to You~

Amin.

Salam alaik and greetings to all,

I hope everyone is in the pink of health. So, I'm pretty sure many students are having their exams now or maybe just finished or some are going to start their exams soon. Anyway, here's a good prayer for all:

"allahuma la sahla illa ma ja'altahu sahlan, wa anta taj'alul hazna iza shikta sahlan" - (Dear Allah, there is no comfort except with things that You allow ease; You make difficulties a simple journey if You are willing) - yaAllah, tidak ada kemudahan kecuali sesuatu yang Engkau permudahkan, Engkau menjadikan kesusahan itu mudah jika Engkau kehendaki -

Thanks to an akhwat(sister-saudara semuslim) who was very kind to share this prayer with me. JZKK.

Wallahu'alam.
