On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: Allah the Almighty said:
O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and ask of Me,
I shall forgive you for what you have done,
and I shall not mind. O son of Adam,
were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky
and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me,
I would forgive you.
O son of Adam,
were you to come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth
and were you then to face Me,
ascribing no partner to Me,
I would bring you forgiveness nearly as great at it.



On the authority of Abu Hurayrah
(may Allah be pleased with him),
who said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah said:
I have prepared for My righteous servants w hat no eye has seen
and no ear has heard,
not has it occurred to human heart.

>> Quote of The Day <<

Just sharing a new quote from 'Hlovate'...

To live hell or live well, WE choose

Life's not a bed of roses.  there will be storms along the way.  But remember to stick by the right path (unless if you choose otherwise), work hard and pray so that Allah will present us with a rainbow at the end of the day.  And make a change for the better.  For only WE can change ourselves, with HIS help, of course.

Allah had even said, in His loveletters... (not the exact words...)

"Allah will not change a society unless they change themselves..."

So... what's your choice?  How will you get to there?

(something for all of us to ponder..)

Temporary!!!

This world is but a short stop.  A short break in this journey towards our ultimate destination, The Hereafter..  

Just a reminder.... to myself especially.  For when busy-ness of this world caught up, it is sometimes a nessissity (mind the spelling) to just step back and remind ourselves of this fact.  So that no matter how busy we are with worldy stuff, we won't forget to do our duty to Allah, to our parents and friends...

_the tired me... huhu.._

Exam is Oficially Over...

The midsem exams had ended at last last friday... Alhamdulillah...

How did it go? Okey... i guess, so.. Alhamdulillah.. 

thanx for those who prayed for me to make it easier..

Yet it's been a hectic week. I'm looking forward to the holidays this thursday, to have a few days off.

What else have I been up to?  Basically, still searching for strength and guidance from Him, and looking for the best way to move and work for Islam in this campus.  Undoubtedly, the work is always there, yet it seems that I have yet discovered the best route and path to move around... 

 

Also, admittedly, I am currently missing someone... someone who have had pushed me forward for almost a year and a half now.  Helping me out and showing me the way to improve myself...  She is currently overseas, as she is taking a course which requires her to do twinning there.

Dear self, do not be sad... for no matter what, Allah is always with you.  And He knows what is best for you.  Take every hardship, and face them as stepping stones towards improving yourself, your imaan and personality.  Face each day with a smile, no matter how difficult things may be.  There will always be a silver lining after every cloud..

Exam's Around The Corner...

Assalamualaikum to all...

How time flies... Exams are nearing again.  my mid-semester exams are coming up in two weeks.  So, I have to say sorry in advance, if the blog is inactive for a while.

Make du'a for me please.. For this semester is definately a challenging one, despite taking only 19 credit hours.  

My first paper is on 10th february, then 16th and 17th.  

Rabbi yassir wa la tu'assir ya kareem...

and while i'm preparing for my exams, (and maybe some of you are too..) let us not forget to pray for our brothers and sisters who are facing the Zionist out in Palestine.  Pray from them, and read Qunut Nazilah as often as possible.  May Allah enlighten their burden, and may they remain  fighting till the Zionists falter.  Ameen...

that's all for now... 

signing off... 

<< Happy >>

I’m happy. Alhamdulillah. Sometimes happiness comes from unexpected places. And this time, it is seriously unexpected.

I would like to thank my lovely sisters for this. You girls sure are fabulous. You surprised me with that belated birthday bash alright. I was, at that time, extremely, tremendously, not expecting it. This made me happy beyond words.

Thanks for all the presents, and that delicious cake. The night was indeed a night to remember. Although I did wish that all of you are able to come. For the night will be completely perfect if you two were there.

I feel that the night was well spent. They come around maghrib, we prayed together, went out for dinner, prayed isya’ at Masjid Kampung Baru, went back to my house. That was when they surprised me with the cake and presents. Which is, to me, the highlight of the night. Afterwards, with full stomach and a very sweet memory to remember, we watched a movie, Sang Murabbi (an Indonesian movie). A movie which the girls liked (and I am very happy that they enjoyed it).

I meant to write this earlier, but unfortunately, because of time constraints, I was unable to do so.

So, this post is dedicated specially to them. My lovely sisters in Islam. May Allah reward all of you, and grant you happiness here, and in the hereafter. And I truly hope that we will all remain together in this path, striving towards mardhatillah. Trying to uphold this deen, no matter where we may end up in the future…

Heart Check Up

Just sharing this reminder for us all... perhaps not a very long one, nor a new thing.  Nevertheless, the matter is a very important one indeed.

What is the condition of our qalb, or heart currently?  Is it healthy and thriving? Or... is it sick, whithering away?  Or.. is it already dead? 

How is the qalb, or heart considered alive?  A heart will only be considered alive when it feels whatever it does, is for Allah.  When it lives according to what Allah wants.  When it views things according to the way Allah wants it to.  Thus, in order for the heart to live, its owner must be actively involved in seeking to find a way to perfect each of is actions accordingly.  He must also consistantly monitor the heart, to ensure that it is not suffering from any diseases.

Dr. Abdul Kadir ‘Audah once said, 

Our journey is the journey of the heart.

This thus indicates that, this whole life is not simply a physical journey.  A journey from a young age to become old.  Nor a path from primary school to university and in the end, to work.  Rather, it is a journey of purifiying the heart, and making sure that it is in its best condition to meet its creator.  This is the journey we need to strive for.

The heart is originally clean.  The inputs we receive from our surroundings, from our senses will fill it up.  The good, or bad, it is up to us, their owner.  Hence, we must play a very important role in ensuring that the heart is not falling into pitfals of fitnah. 

Regarding the importance of taking care of our heart, Rasulullah PBUH had said:

Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it be whole, all the body is whole and which, if it be diseased, all of it is diseased. Truly it is the heart.

We must strive hard so that our hearts are aware of Allah at all times.  This awareness should lead us closer to Allah, until we love Him more than anything and everything in this world.    If a heart is not filled with ma’rifatullah (knowledge of Allah’s characters, etc), tarbiyyah (personal development) and mahabbatullah (Allah’s love), then beware… for this type of heart may never bring its owner to paradise.

There is a story of a companion of the Prophet, Ibnu Umar, who sold a very fine camel that he had been using for a while.  His friend asked, “Why did you sold something which is very fine and may be very useful to you?”  The reply?  Ibnu Umar said that his heart had become attached to the camel, and so he must sell it.  You see, the companions view the heart as very valuable indeed, and wants to ensure that the heart is attached solely to Allah.

So… how is our heart today?

Let’s look deep inside ourselves and find out.
