Kejar-mengejar

Bismillah,


Pernah tak hadapi situasi berikut:


missed the bus!

then,
lambat pula datang kelas,
habis kena marah dengan cikgu

lama-lama jadi habit
then, kena marah dengan bos

Berpasang-pasangan

Bismillah,

Berpasang-pasangan? Oh, don't get me wrong :) Undoubtedly, if you/we/I come across this phrase, sure enough you/we/I will think about marriage. Let's widen up our horizon, open up the interpretation in a broader point of view.  

Dan Allah menciptakan kamu dari tanah, kemudian dari (setitis) air benih, kemudian Ia menjadikan kamu berpasangan (lelaki dan perempuan). Dan tiada mengandung seseorang perempuan (juga seekor betina), dan tidak pula satu-satunya melahirkan (anak yang dikandungnya) melainkan dengan keadaan yang diketahui Allah. Dan tidak diberikan seseorang berumur panjang, juga tidak dijadikan seseorang pendek umurnya, melainkan ada kadarnya di dalam Kitab Ilahi. Sesungguhnya yang demikian itu mudah sahaja kepada Allah. [35:11]

That's what I thought too and that's why people regard this as the most popular example, in any poems, and verses of love. What about this:

Dan Dia lah yang menjadikan bumi terbentang luas, dan menjadikan padanya gunung-ganang (terdiri kukuh) serta sungai-sungai (yang mengalir). Dan dari tiap-tiap jenis buah-buahan, Ia jadikan padanya pasangan: dua-dua. Ia juga melindungi siang dengan malam silih berganti. Sesungguhnya semuanya itu mengandungi tanda-tanda kekuasaan Allah bagi kaum yang (mahu) berfikir.[13:3]

Aha! "From all the fruits He made therein two mates" See, if you/we/I believe that there is someone out there is destined to be your imam/makmum/husband/wife, Allah also made it fair and square to other creatures of His creation. A murabbi reminded me that though Allah created everyone with their own mates, that is not limited to mates in term of human relationship. Allah has amazing plans for everyone, every single souls He created! =) Similarly,

After being sick for a while,
Allah grants us with better health

After studying so hard for the whole semester,
Allah grants us with the joy of success

After hiking up 10,000 ft up high
Allah grants us with the joy of satisfaction, yeay! we made it!

After long feel-like-unending-conflicts,
Allah grants us serene life, make us stronger to face more obstacle in the future.

The time will eventually come when all our hardship to mardhatillah paid off, but don't think about it yet, ikhlas kan diri, all for Him!

It's a fair trade right? =)

Allahu'alam.

Mukmin Yang Dengki

Bismillah,

"Bencana melepaskan dua ekor serigala lapar di dalam kandang kambing tidak lebih besar daripada bencana yang menimpa pegangan agama seorang Muslim dan sifat serakah terhadap harta (tamakkan harta) dan hasad dengki. Sesungguhnya sifat hasad memamah segala kebaikan persis seperti api yang menjilat kayu kering."
(al-Tirmizi)

Allahu'alam

Yesterday was so beautiful

Bismillah,

Life is short.
When you look forward,
Life looks as if it has a never ending boundary
But
When you look backward
You see your beginning
There's nothing you can do about it
Cause time drives you forward
When your time stops
Your heart beat stops

It feels like we've just met yesterday,
I saw your smile, you recognize me, you respond to my questions,
But Allah loves you more than I do,
He was calling you,
and you gotta respond to His call...

Inna lillah wa inna ilaihi raji'un
Embah, may Allah forgive all your sins and let you rest among the pious, among the best Muslims.
Ameen.

:( I cannot afford to lose anyone anymore, ya Allah, berikan hambaMu ini ketabahan hati...

Be Strong From Within

Bismillah,

Rise and shine to friends in M'sia
Selamat petang Tucson
Selamat Malam London
Selamat selamat everywhere in the world!


"When I pretend to be strong, no one sees my hidden tears except Allah.
When I'm sad and need a shoulder to cry on, no one supports me but Allah.
Pleasing a human is a very difficult task,
While pleasing Allah is the easiest.
People sometimes punish me for mistakes I have not done,
Allah ignores and excuses the one that I did,
This is how Allah, the Greatest, the Almighty
The most Beneficent, the most Merciful,
And all praise belong to Him"
-Tariq Ramadan-

Perjalanan Hidup itu menuju Tuhan, bukan menuju manusia
Allahu'alam

In Sya Allah, God's Willing?

Bismillah,

"Promise me?" 
"In sya Allah."
..........................................

"I thought you promised me?"
"I said in sya Allah, but it seems that Allah did not permit me to fulfill my promise"

A Letter to Abah

Assalamualaikum wbt,

Dear Abah,

Boleh tak hantarkan kakak pergi shopping hari ni?
Kasut kakak dah rosak, boleh tak belikan baru?
Kakak takde kredit, boleh share tak abah?
Boleh tak dinner kat luar malam ni?
Boleh tak kakak nak baju baru?
Boleh tak kakak nak beg baru?
Boleh tak kakak jalan-jalan dengan kawan?
Boleh tak abah belikan laptop baru?
Boleh tak abah support tiket balik Malaysia?
Abah, abah, abah, boleh tak itu? boleh tak ini.....?

Too many things I asked from him, but he never asked anything worldly in return, except "be my good daughter and a loyal servant to Allah". I wrote this not because people are celebrating father's day, neither I compelled to do so. We both stubborn, I know, we sometimes hardly express our feeling in front of each other. Since abah don't even know my blog's existence, this is a great opportunity to express my deepest gratitude, love and appreciation to him. Thanks abah, I love you, I miss you =)

The Eroding Faith of Hope

Bismillah,

"He said, 'And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?' "-15:56



First try. Second try. Third try. Fourth...give up? Don't be.
The greater the obstacles one faced,
The further the journey one taok,
The bigger one's potential unleashed,
So don't be sad,
Don't give up,
Have faith. :)

Astaghfirullah

Bismillah...


Lorong-lorong kecil itu mungkin sempit
Laluannya pasti menghimpit

Terkadang mahu putus asa 
Mencari jalan keluar yang tak jumpa

Namun takdir Tuhan itu adil segala,
Di penghujung jalan itu,
Di penghujung kisah itu,
Baru terbuka wasilah dari sang Pencipta

Apa benar aku diuji?
Apa benar mampu aku hadapi semua ini?

Benar.
Andai diri tidak diuji,
Pasti lupa istighfar pada Ilahi...

Astaghfirullah...
Astaghfirullah...
Astaghfirullah...

Yang Mana Satu?

Bismillah al-rahman al-raheem


 "...nikmat hati hanya lalu sebagai khayalan belaka. Setelah melayap laksana satu bayangan, ia pun hilang dan tidak akan kembali lagi.” _HAMKA_

Don't know which to read first,
life is getting harder,
But attachment to Him is getting stronger,
What a life!

Let's forget the past, but don't forget what it taught us about life - 2012
