IT's horrible when you have 2 of your closest friends all upset at the same time. I don't even dare to mention that I'm in high spririts; Well I don't see a reason to be happy at all when they're not.
I feel pathetic. I feel horrible and helpless. I can't physically be with both of them at the same time and I don't know why but it seems that I can't make myself imagine that I'm in their state. THAT IS THE WORST THING WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO CONSEL THEM.
:'(
YOU CAN'T MAKE THEM FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ARE FEELING.
Ukhti & Didi I feel Horrible, I'm sorry :'( I love both of you.
All I can do is pray to the Almighty to make you feel better and protect you always.
Call it a Coincidence if you wish to, but I don't think so. I just came back from Duhr prayers at the College's main Mussollah. I came in about 5-10 minutes after athan so the guys were still doing their Jemaah; unaware that they just started, I was taking my own sweet time putting my socks on; not planning to join in the Jemaah.
Beside the Mussollah/The Muslim Student's Society Clubhouse was the Christian Fellowship's room.When I passed by the room to go into the Mussolah, there was only one student in there using his laptop.
The minute the imam said the first "Allahu Akbar"; drums started playing the next room.
Is this too much of a coincidence? Wait let me tell you more.
The minute the Imam said his second Salam, The drums stopped playing.
OH PUHHHLEASE. this is no coincidence to me.
It was obviously done on purpose. What a prick really. Where was the mutual respect we were all thought to grow up with? Such people shouldn't be living in a Multi-Religious Society like Singapore.
This post is merely to clarify and explain the reasons why I do what I do on my blog. I'm not justifying myself nor have I any intention to stand up for my rights.
Recently, a sister tagged saying -: "I hope you don't mind me saying but whatever ibadah that we do, we do not "boast" about it. Keep it to yourself and refrain from doing riak. I hope you're not offended in anyway just an advice :)"
I didn't feel offended nor did I feel like there was a need to justify myself but when I told another sister about the comment posted, she thought that I should explain to my readers why I'm blogging Islamically and not otherwise; Why I'm blogging about the prayers that I do and the days that I fast; The classes that i attend and the knowledge that I gain; The Hijab that I wear on my head and how much I'm loving it.
After much thought, I had to agree and I decided to write up this post.
The reason why I'm doing what I'm doing here on my blog is because of merely one intention, just one -: To make Da'wah. I have no intention wallah to boast about what I'm doing because I'm jolly well aware of riak and besides how sure am I that my Eebadah is accepted my Allah Azza Wa Jal?
I'm not a perfect Muslim but I yearn to be the best Muslimah that I can in this dunya to serve my Lord and grant reward in the hereafter. I have no intention to boast about how perfect I am as a Muslim nor do I have any intention to tell the world that I'm the best Muslim. I'm Human, I make mistakes & I'm sorry if certain things that I say on my blog is not agreeable to your way of thinking. Then again, I can't please everyone because each of us have our own realm of thoughts.
Another reason why I blog Islamically is because I wish to inspire non-practising Muslim Youths of today to start practising Insya'Allah. Reason being is, before I took Islam as an entirety or rather as I was taking it seriously, I read a handful of blogs of sisters who did nothing but continuously Inspire me with the words on their blogs. Don't be surprised if I were to say that half of the reason why I'm wearing the Hijab now is because of the videos of Hijab on youtube and the many different perceptions of Hijab from the sisters' blogs. I got so attracted to how much they love their Hijab and how they'd stand up for it and only after I started wearing it that I understand the message that they were trying to convey.
Yes, I am a Proud Muslimah and a Proud Hijabee because I believe that if we are not proud of our own deen then who will be proud of it? because Islam is but the Deen-Ul-Haqq(The religion of truth)
Sister, my intentions are clearly not to do riak rather, it is to share that bit of knowledge Allah swt has granted me with my brothers and sisters throughout the globe merely as a form of educating those who need that form of knowledge and Alhamdulillah to date I have received a handful of sisters who thank me for the things I post on my blog because they've gained knowledge here and yearn to be a better Muslim Insya'Allah.
Insya'Allah khair. JazakAllah Hu khayran for posting your comments here and telling me how you really feel about my blog.
I just got home after a long day out; Subhana'Allah. I'm exhausted, weared out, sleepy, hungry and my limbs are hurting horribly! :S I was in school from 10 all the way till about 6 P.M? yeah. I attended a Freshman Programme organised by the Silat (Malay Martial Arts) Committee of the school. It was really tiring and I nearly faitned half way through a race around the campus, but Subhana'Allah it was a once in a lifetime kind of experience; I'm saying once in a while because personally, I wouldn't ever EVER even think of joining Silat. I never appreciated it as a form of Art before but after going through the programme today, Masha'Allah I do have to give a two-thumbs up to the crew; they are amazing fighters and obviously they were an amazing host :D and an extra 2 thumbs uo for my Hijabee Sisters who are such great fighters too heh; So proud of you guys Masha'Allah :)
So all the way from Clementi, I took a train to Punggol and had class for about 2 hours and now I'm home. Oh now we have Ukhti Farah with the gang of Muslimahs in the class; so if you do see her name appearing on my blog then it's because I'll see her more often these days Insya'Allah.
I have something to rant about, but not today because I'm horribly Tired. Insya'Allah tmr. Allah Ma3k all.
Subhana'Allah Yesterday we had a new brother from England who took the syahadah after being a Christian his whole life. What can I say, it was overwhelming to hear that someone I knew was going to convert or now converted Masha'Allah. May Allah swt grant Him Janntul Firdaus Insya'Allah Ameen.
He's currently learning how to pray. Myself and Ukhti Nada of Jordan Insya'Allah will be guiding him in his journey :)
Aww Masha'Allah I'm sooo excited for him :D:D:D heh.
Okay I need to sleep; that was all that was worth the news.
P.S I need to stop getting all excited about college and how I'm loving my college life. lol.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE MSS FOCCCCCCC :D:D:D AAAAAH lol (Muslim Student's Society Freshmen Orientation Camp)
Couldn't think of a better title, because right now; I can hear my stomach growling. :S I'm loving college life at the same time I'm feeling horribly exhausted. It's the weather and the long journeys to and from school; not to mention the migration that we need to do to get to different buildings for different lectures. aaah Subhana'Allah it's draining.
Not to mention I have an IT Application Assignment to hand up tomorrow and I understand NUTS of it. Tomorrow's going to be a long day masha'Allah and I only have an hour of break (dang ya!)
Honestly, I find joy being int his course; Alhamdulillah I'm pretty grateful to be here :)
Anyway something interesting happened today. The weather was as usual humid but this morning it was unusually warm, my body being itself; I don't feel as warm as the others do. So we were in a full lift and a non-Muslim lecturer was standing in front of me fanning herself. She turned to me and complained about how warm the weather was then she turned away and said to herself "I wonder how you guys can stand the heat with the scarf on"
I just smiled and look down.
Wallah, I felt so proud to be a Hijabee at the point. Subhana'Allah; I felt like my Hijab was making da'wah on it's own. But wallah, I was really not feeling warm; in fact I felt like my Hijab was like a shade to my body; ya know like it makes me feel more comfortable, less humid and warm. Subhana'Allah :)
Oh and I'm gettting used to the "Going to school with Hijab" kinda environment; can't wait for the Muslim Society's Freshman Orientation Camp next week wheeeeeeee :D
Alhamdulillah, so I scraped through first day in college. It was a pretty enriching and fun-filled day actually :) And Masha'Allah am I grateful to have some really amazing Muslimahs as course mates and really friendly classmates too, Alhamdulillah.
Really exhausted though, SubhanaAllah must have been the heat. My back hurts from all the carrying of my laptop up and down from building to building but other than that all's good.
I have tutorial tomorrow, Insya'Allah Khair.
IT Application was just :/ lol. really NOT my thing. God, I'm such a bimbo when it comes to Computing lol!
Anyway, I'm hungry and I'm tired so I'm currently snacking on raisins and almonds with Milk to keep me awake while doing my first assignment. Errr... Thank Allah submission's on wednesday!
I'm keen in joining the Muslim Student's Society Insya'Allah; will be funnnn eh :P
Click on Flyer if Image is too small. Topic-: Reactivating the Islamic Civilisation for New World Order? Speaker-: Dr. Kamar Oniah Kamrazzuman Venue-: Darul Arqam Auditorium
Salams to my fellow Muslims in Singapore, Insya'Allah on the 24th of April @ 8:00pm there'll be a talk by a supposed renowned scholar from Malaysia; Dr. Kamar Oniah Kamaruzzaman. I reckon the talk will be in English; you can always call up Darul Arqam to reconfirm.
I just felt that it'll be an interesting lecture because we often here about the need for the ummah to awake to an Islamic Revival in this 21 st Century.
I'd most probably be skipping my Class at Darul Ghufran for this one Insya'Allah. If any of you sisters would like to attend it; just leave me a message.
Here I am in my own portal of luxury, seated with my laps crossed beside grandmother while she tells me stories about the olden days; how she met grandfather, how they got married, how they went through war together and how they both hated the British Army, how sweet.
55 years of Marriage, Subhana’Allah. How many marriages today lasts a lifetime? MY grandparents were not perfect, my grandfather wasn’t a perfect Muslim; He was a convert in fact Alhamdulillah and my grandmother wasn’t very practicing. My grandfather was one hot-tempered man but when asked if he ever laid a hand on my grandmother he’d say “If I ever do that, cut off these hands of mine.”
I think that’s just really sweet :)
They do have quarrels, in fact they argue everyday and I used to get confused as to why they quarrel when grandfather claims he really love grandmother.Only later I realised that no couple lives together without an argument; in fact it is through this tiny little arguments that their love for each other gets stronger.
Marriage is something I’m curious about; not that my biological clock is ticking but probably because almost everyone I know is busy wanting to get married, can’t wait to get married, are already married or wanting to get out of a marriage.
What’s it like to be married and what is marriage to those who are married?
Most importantly, what is marriage to those who are yet to get married?
Brother 1-: Marriage is something that protects us from doing the haraam and distance us from the whispers of shaytan. It’s half of our deen and it’s something Islam encourages.
Brother 2-: Marriage sis? Nah, not for me yo.
Brother 3-: Marriage is to share your life with the person you love and make her part of it.
Brother 4-: Marriage is to be married to you.
(LOL AT BROTHER 4!)
Brother 5-:It’s a lifetime commitment to your wife and children. Once married, there goes your freedom.
Sister 1-: Marriage is a deal between a man and a woman to set up a factory that produces babies.
(LOL)
Sister 2-: Marriage? Oh mine’s Next week! Can’t wait!!!!
(Mubarak Sister 2! Lol)
Sister 3-: Marriage is to tolerate with my husband’s nonsense for a lifetime because I love him like how he loves me.
Lol.
Brother 6-: Marriage is something I’ll look upon later in life; it’s something that completes us as Muslims and everyone will reach a stage where you need someone to be there to hold your hand when you’re in times of need, someone who loves and cares for you like you’re a part of them. Should I get married, I’ll love my wife like how I’d love myself; I’ll care and protect her always.
What is marriage to me then?
Marriage to me is an eebadah. It’s not a business deal where you can end a contract the minute you’re not satisfied with it. It’s a commitment, it’s a form of worship.
To be married to someone that will guide me through the path of Allah into striving to be the best Muslimah that I can be is something that I pray for; I don’t have to be married to a man that looks like my favourite bollywood actor, no he doesn’t have to be an Indian ( I just say such things to spite my father lol), he doesn’t have to be a millionaire’s son, he doesn’t have to be someone that’s forever in a suit. He can be as simply dressed and be driving a mini cooper but he should be someone that’ll guide me into becoming a better servant of Allah subhana’Allah Ta’ala.
Insya’Allah Ameen.
So what is marriage to you? Are you with Sister 1 who thinks that Marriage is a business deal or are you with Brother 6?
I received my long awaited package from Bosnia & Herzegovina. Subhan'Allah Masha'Allah Alhamdulillah, I was soooo happy and excited when I received it :) I sent a Hijab to a dear sister in Bosnia last month ( I think I did it out of fun and laughter or maybe because i love my sisters too much) & attached was a card i made for her with all the erm... poems and the lovey-dovey things I'd say to my sisters that are sooooo close to heart :)
I was so pleased to hear that she loved the Hijab and she told she'd send me a handwritten letter and a gift along as a token of appreciation and make it more of an exchange of gifts so that i'd have something close to me that reminds me of her.
(GOD I AM SO LONGWINDED!)
It took the package like 2 weeks to reach me (wonder what the postmen are doing...Hmm Skiving eh!) and Sis Emy (Bosnian Sister) was panicking the whole time about how the things will drop out and how it wouldn't reach me lol. But Alhamdulillah it did and YA Allah I CRIED WHEN I WAS READING HER 4 pages of beautifully, amazingly, heart-warming, lovely letter.
Along with the letter was a wrapping with a few gifts in it. Each gift holds it's own meaning and Subhana'Allah, The package was from Bosnia, I got a bracelet from Turkey, a ring from Bosnia, a flower from her very own Garden in Bosnia, bracelets from Kosovo, a necklace from Egypt and another bracelet from Bosnia. Each and every gift that was sent in the package carries it's own story and more importantly it's from her and these things were so dear to her and she wanted me to have them. WALLAH, that is just the sweetest thing ever!
Isn't it just amazing that you're so far away from someone yet she loves you just as much as the one close to you? :) Masha'Allah...
Anyway, I had my induction Programme today aint it? Alhamdulilllah, it went well. At least I made friends and met up with an old friend sooo Alhamdulillah, not a loner :') lol. The school is exceptionally huge though. Subhana'Allah. Why is Singapore wasting so much land on Education?! Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh! lol. But seriously. It's freaking Huge. It feels like you're going on a hike just to get from one building to another. yallah. lol.
Not many Hijabees :'( less than 10 in my course :S
I'm having my Induction Programme(Introduction to my college course) tomorrow at 11 & so many things, wallah SO MANY THINGS are running through my head.
I don't know what to expect, I don't know who to expect, I don't know what to wear! LOL..... I only know how to get there(I THINK). If any of you reading this blog are from Ngee Ann and just so happen to recognise me; please make friends with me. I'm a nice person, I don't bite. :) Ask Sandra and Fatin, they'll tell you how much they love me so much so they don't want to share me HAHAHA Lol. JOKING! :P No but seriously, I won't eat you up, just smile at me; you'll see what I mean *grins*
OHH and guess what, I'm watching my favourite tamil movie while typing this :O lol.
I'm thinking of making friends with Muslimahs in my course; don't know how many of them can take my nonsense though; Insya'Allah Khair heh.
God it's taking me 30 mins to type one sentence; sheesh, I'll watch my movie and get back here (IF I HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO TYPE).
Salam Alaykom!
P.S Does anyone know how to type in Arabic using Microsoft Word? Trying to do something Charitable Insya'Allah. Please tell me if you know how to. JazakAllah Hu Khayran
I've mentioned that the weekly madrasah that I'm in is barely active in youth activities or should I say it's not active at all. lol. Alhamdulillah though, each time I'm there I'll just take in what I can or what is beingn taught. My teacher is a muslimah and Masha'Allah she's very knowledgable but just a little, A LITTLE too boring sometimes :S lol.
ANYWAY, today was different.The Masjid called in the Muslim Casket Crew from another Mosque (Ar-Raudah I think - is that even how you spell it :S) and they used a live model on how to clean a dead body and wrap it and stuff (LOL! I know how to say it in Malay because he was explaining in Malay and now when you're asking me to translate it to English; I'm TOO lazy to use the dictionary so just pardon me lol) To those who understand malay it was a "Kursus Pengurusan Jenazah"; So we learnt how to mandikan the mayat and the adaab to do it and how to kafankan the mayat etc
IT WAS FREAKING COOL. I was so excited that I called my dad right after class to tell him about it hahaha and he said;
"Okay wait till either one of us die, then you can try it on us." WTH! lol.
I JUST HAD TO REPLY "Insya'Allah; That is if I don't die before you okay. bye" lol...
Anyway it was really a good experience to learn about this after all it's Fardhu Kifayah; who knows if it'll be essential for future purposes? Hmm... It's part of serving the ummah anyway.
I'm going to sleep; didn't sleep well yesterday (HAD NIGHTMARES :S) lol.
Oh listen listen Abah is singing to me "I can't give you anything but my love" AWWWWWWWWWW <3 lol!
My dad just got back from Juma'ah 2 hours ago (I skipped Juma'ah :O Overslept :S) and he was complaining how rude and arrogant the Masjid Crews were. My Abah rarely complains about a bad service but this one really got on his nerves.
There is a Masjid in our neighbourhood that badly needs funds; they don't have money to pay for the electrical bills and they don't have the cash to call in good Asatizahs to give da'wah or islah. They are barely engaged in any form of youth activity except the Sunday School that they offer; that to, isn't very effective (from what I've heard). So recently, they were giving out "GIRO" forms, or merely donation forms whereby a certain amount of money is cut from a desired bank account of yours and it goes on to the funds of the Masjid every month; a form of sadaqah that is.
So my father was keen in making a donation to that Masjid because we've been living in that estate for 20 over years now and the Masjid is where we'd frequent. He went to the Masjid's office and approached a Muslimah for the form, the Muslimah passed on the job to a brother who was busy doing whatever that he was and he passed on to another and it went on and on and on for 30 whole minutes; the staffs were arrogant, restless, service was horrible and basically it was angering. Wallah If I was my Abah, I'd immediately leave the place.
After 30 minutes of waiting, he finally got the form. We happen to know one of the board directors and hence my Abah went to approach him to tell him of the bad service; instead of APOLOGISING over the matter, he said "If the intention to donate was sincere, such things wouldn't matter"
My father smiled and left the Masjid. You soooo should have seen his face when he got home; even I got afraid :S This is not just the first time that I hear of bad experiences with masjid staffs but even I had several myself. I was accused of not giving back the Masjid's donation fund card; when the fact was the clerk was too disorganised and left my card amongst a stack of other letters together with a few hundred bucks that was intact with the card. I was answered rudely when I was enquiring about classes available and a particular Masjid. Sheeeeeeeeeeeesh.
This is the problem with our Masjids :@ NONO there is no problem with our Masjids, it's the problem with the people in the MASJIDS!
Ya Allah, someone please send this people for a Customer Service Course.
People are still being dug out from under the rubble, in Gaza. Have you forgotten about it already?
The children are still crying, how hard is it for us,from the very comfort of our homes, to spare a few minutes sharing the news, a few pounds towards feeding them, a few prayers that could save them?
& don't forget to put 'The Palestine Telegraph' on your favourites list!
Thanks, you're not doing me a favor- you're doing yourselves & those innocent children a favor :)
(p.s you've probably heard this a good many times, but yeah: this group needs to grow! Read the discription, you'll love it)
I was listening to Dawub Wharnsby's Nasheed yesterday; "Animals Love Qur'an" and I was just smiling to myself the wholeeeee time. So if you see me on the train and I'm smiling to myself, NO I am not crazy but I'm listening to his nasheed LOL. :P
Rough Update today, nothing much to talk about. I pity my Abah :'( He's doing so much for the family. He got home at 2 am from work yesterday and went to sleep at 3:30am after taking bath and doing his witr. He woke up at 10 am earlier today and is going back to work right now.
His feet are cracking, his back hurts and he barely gets enough rest except the weekends. I hate it when he's on night shift, if I don't stay up I rarely get to see his face but being the owl that I am, Ahamdulillah I do get to spend some time with him; if not a lot then at least a few minutes of "Abah I love you" and Hugs and Kisses.
The thing about my dad is when you tell him you love him he thinks you're asking for money LOL Well I can't blame him though, I used to say such things only when I'm asking for cash :P
May Allah swt reward him for all that he's done for the family. Ameen. OH AND GUESS WHAT, HE WAS FEEDING ME LUNCH TODAY HAHAHAH AWWWWW :D It's been so long since he fed me :P
Oh besides that, I'm looking forward to today's gathering; sadly my darling ukhti can't make it or else it would be so much more fun. Talking about which, she didnt reply to my text and worrying me; I hope she's not bedridden again today :S
I might spend sometime at the Masjid first before the gathering to do some SOUL-SEARCHING. Hmm... Want to join me? Search for me at Masjid Kassim eh :P
My Malay is getting worse by the day. When I try hard to speak in proper malay, I end up messing up and my aunts will look at me with the "are-you-even-malay-speaking" face.
Reason being is, I've been speaking too much English; not that my English is fantastic anyway; it's just better. Ya Allah, I'm confused. lol.
Okay so let me try :)
Murid-Murid Melayu Sekolah Katolik Hai Sing yang telah menduduki Peperiksaan Peringkat O pada tahun 2008 dan.......

I've been frequenting the libraries and bookstores these days, just doing the mere browsing that I've always loved to do. It just so happens that each time I drop by I come across Anti-Islamic books.
I don't know if the government isn't aware of these books being purchased to be on sale or on loan but I strongly disagree to the availability of these books here in our country. I don't see any books that rejects Christianity and speaks badly of that religion neither do I see that for the other religions in Singapore like Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Judaism etc SO WHY AM I SEEING THE BOOKS ABOUT ISLAM?
The goverment rejects books by Ahmed Deedat and Imam Anwar Al-Awlaki but such books are accepted into the country.
Yesterday was the last straw and I felt the need to blog about it. I was in Times bookstore in Tampines and TADA! I saw "Why we need to fight Islamic Terrorism" That was enough to anger me and I was asking for it when I read the description. "Islam is a Seventh-Century Fundamentalist Religion that believes in getting read of the infidels in this world. Islam oppress women and educate their Children into becoming Jihadists like their fathers"
ASTAGHFIRULLAH! Lies, Lies,Lies and MORE LIESSSSSSSS.
It's not that I'm unaware of this books but I feel that it's extremely unacceptable that they are in Singapore because this country constantly emphasises on the importance of racial and religious equality. These books will only corrupt and destroy the mindsets of many non-believers and they will be further stereotyped into believing Islam as a religion of violence and oppression.
I really hope someone does soemthing about this because it's just simply unacceptable.
Remember I said I was going to bake with my dearest Ukhti Fatin? Yeah We did it AGAIN Wheeeeeee :D Alhamdulillah, it turned out good; well it tasted good to me too heh. The cake was actually for my aunt. It was her birthday so instead of getting her a gift, we baked her a cake. She loved it and that was quite enough for us :)
A call out to all my dear sisters. Every Friday, myself and several other sisters gather together at 5PM GMT on MSN to discuss various topics of our deen. Last week was the first session and sadly only 2 were present. Insya'Allah we wish to have more in our group. What we do basically is we come online, have a joint conversation and discuss a chosen topic. One sister will share with us what she has researched while the others listen.
Along the way we'll have QnAs as well and anyone who wishes to may add on to the discussion and at the end of it, we'll have a debrief where we're able to clarify any form of doubts Insya'Allah.
This week's topic will be Jihad & I'll be doing the sharing Insya'Allah. If any of you are interested please inform me.
5PM GMT -: Midnight for GMT +8:00 (Singapore, Malaysia, HK) -: United States; 10:00 AM -: Jordan and neighbouring countries 7pm-8pm
Insya'Allah if you need me to double check the timings just inform me.
This session is really useful, Alhamdulillah I gained a handful of knowledge from the previous one.
Every Sunday I attend a part-time madrasah at a local Masjid; I've all along been in this Madrasah (Since my Jahileen Days). In fact it's been 6 years that I attend this Madrasah. I have to admit though that it barely helps but I guess it's this little little things that I attended that has stopped me from being an extreme Jahil lol.
What I am unhappy about is the fact that just because the teachers aren't excellent; the students get uninterested and start doing their own things. No matter how bad a teacher may be; she's still a teacher and she's present to pass on the knowledge that she's been blessed with to her students and we as the students should be polite and courteous enough to appreciate her effort to this and at least make an effort to LISTEN. Yes, i admit the classes are boring but the knowledge that we gain is essential; if not for this life than the hereafter.
If you came to the Masjid and while you're there you're doing your math or science homework than why are you in the Masjid? If you're there present in a Fiqh Class to giggle and spread your share of jokes than why purchase that Fiqh book?
Ya Allah, you should be present in a class to seek knowledge and if you're not there to do that then why are you present??
Astaghfirullah brothers and sisters, for everything that we do let us do it whole-heartedly; since we're already in that class, no matter how boring it may be we should know that we're sent for a reason and that is to seek knowledge. Be it we're attending it to please our parents or just for the sake of attending it, we're already present so take in what you can because if you can't apply it now then Insya'Allah we'll be rewarded in the hereafter for gaining it for the sake of Allah swt.
Seek Knowledge my brothers and sisters from the cradle to the grave.
How often do we use the words above? How often do we praise someone of their beauty and mention "Masha'Allah"? How often do we say "Subhan'Allah" when a good news is delivered to us? How often do you say "Astaghfirullah" when you stumble upon someone doing something that Allah swt rejects? & Often do you thank Allah for all that He's blessed you with?
How many of us start the day with a Bismillah and an Alhamdulilllah to thank Allah swt for having woken us up to yet another beautiful day? How many of us thank Allah again as we head to bed after our last prayer to thank Him for having guided you through another day?
I've always believed in worshipping Allah swt as if we could see Him and if we can't reach that stage than remember that He's always watching us.
Islam is simple, it's just the way you take it.
Truly I am thankful that Allah swt has guided me into wanting to take this deen as an entirety; to not take-and-go the little pieces of religion that i think will suit me. Islam is about the way we should live; not the way we think we want to live.
I don't see how people can say they are proud to be Muslims but they do not practice Islam. I don't see how some Muslims can say "I love Allah" but don't heed His words. Astaghfirullah.
My brothers and sisters, if you wish to seek knowledge about Islam then don't wait for tomorrow; do it right away. If you don't have a Quran and you can't afford one then run to a Masjid and Grab a copy, sit down in the Mosque itself to read and study it. Do not give yourself excuses when you know you have to seek the knowledge that your heart yearns for.
Seeking knowledge is a Jihad; wallah trust me it is but Insya'Allah if you're willing to learn and strive in the path of Allah swt, He will be with you throughout to guide you.
Remember Allah swt in every of your doings because everything, I mean EVERYTHING has been decided by Him in alone and it will never be possible without His orders.
I was at home on my lappy after Ukthi Fatin ditched me for Suite Life of Zack and Cody on the Zionist Disney Channel. Thanks Ukhti, a couple of not-as-cute-as-me blond twins are more important than your lonely Ukhti :'( lol.
And Abah was inside using the computer, reading his mails one by one (EVEN SPAMS HAHAHA) lol. He takes a million years to open up one email AWWWW :) it's okay I'll still love him.
So we were doing our own thing and suddenly there was a knock on the door. Me, being the "smart" person that I am assumed that it was Amir (my lil bro) and went on opening up the door without looking through the peeping hole thingy to see who was outside. There, in front of me was some random teenage brother; well he wasn't really random, I recognise him to be one my cousin's friend and a friend of my friend's lol. Makes sense? Hmmm...
So this was what happened;
Me-: Errrr...?
Brother-: Ohh... Huh?
Me-: Hmmm...?
Brother-: Ahmmm...?
Me-: I think you got the wrong house; *Friend* lives one floor down.
Brother-: OH!!!! *Hides face* So sorrrrrrrry!
Me-: *Smiles* It's okay.
Brother-: Errrr... Ya Allah; that was a grave mistake, forgive me! Assalamualaykum!
Me-: *Laughs* Walaykum Assalam.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! The reason why he probably got the wrong house is because after the upgrading programme in my estate; every door look alike because they are of the similar design. But wallah it was funny heh. But I WAS WITHOUT MY HIJAB! :S
I don't really know what is wrong with me actually but I think i need to be a better lady. lol. Errr... In terms of being a better cook, a better housekeeper, a good daughter and sister; Insya'Allah a good Muslimah (the most important that is)
Believe it or not, I 've been cooking. heh. It's kinda fun but i HATE doing the dishes after that; it's not fun you know :'(
My Abah thinks it's weird that I'm changing by the day but at the same time he's happy because he said this was what he saw in a "Dream daughter"; wonder what that means. He's full of theologies that only HE can comprehend.
Insya'Allah myself and ukhti Fatin will be baking this Saturday! Wheeeeeeeee Ukhti I'm so excited :P If the cake turns out right; I'll post the pics of it up here heh; if not then it's for us to know and for you to find out how it looks like :D
Honestly, I think it is indeed essential for me to start being a better lady because when I get married Insya'Allah I don't want to be someone who's unable to cook and keep the house tidy and makes her husband upset :S Yes, I'm not getting married now; most probably 4-5 years down the road but if I don't start now then I'll never start because school is starting in less than a month!
Ohhh speaking of school; Alhamdulillah my enrollment status reads-: enrolled :) Phew! All I have to do now is sit for my orientation on the 15 th and wait till term starts Insya'Allah :D
Thee k, I'm going to clean the kitchen Insya'Allah. Allah Ma3ki sisters!
