The final say is yours;

Well I thought it'd actually be a good idea to blog one last time before I go in for surgery. Not because I do not have faith in Allah with thoughts that maybe I might just die in it (na'auzudbillah) but well, death comes anytime. Allah knows.


Moving on.

We live in a world where sometimes we could totally forget about Allah swt as we live in the comforts of our luxurious life in this materialistic world and drown ourselves in the hearts of the filthy media. The music, the movies, the gossip, the propaganda and many other things that are out to cause fitnah and infiltrate our minds with ideas of how to live our lives the way Allah doesn't want us to live.

When we're all happy and cheerful, we go on speaking about how just wonderfully amazing life is but we forget to utter a simple "Alhamdulillah" because we are too self absorbed in the music that we have blasting in our ears. We forget that the smile and laughter that we have plastered on our faces and ringing in our ears would not have been possible had it not been for Allah's will.

& When we face a few adversities in life, we start to rant and blame everyone and everything for the seemingly miserable life that we're leading and sometimes as we blame just literally everything for making us feel so horrible, we unconsciously find ourselves being angry at Allah swt only because we forget the sweetness of uttering a simple istighfar to calm ourselves down and ask for patience from Allah swt as we set out to jump over these few hurdles He'd set for us in our lives, our not-very-long-lasting lives.

As muslims, we should always have it easy. We have Islam as our way of life, the Qur'an as our guide, the Prophet as our role model and Allah subhana'allah ta'ala to protect us all but sometimes we overlook these things that we have in our lives and we make a choice to lead our lives in the way Allah swt doesn't want us to lead - the way of the unbelievers.

What really does it take for us to realise the value of Islam and the price of our Imaan?
The final say is yours, you decide.

I'll take my leave now. I did not mean suicide, no; I need some sleep.
Keep me in your prayers my dear ummah as I keep you in mine.

Salam Alaykom,
A'qilah Saiere.

You're right on, ukhti! We sometimes do forget to say alhamdulillah. It just takes a bit of reading a day to realise the value of Islam. Never stop learning about Islam because the more we know Allah, the stronger our Imaan becomes. Learn about RasulAllah's life and how he was with his sahabas. Learn the traps that Shaytan has been trying to push us into.

May Allah make the operation successful for you. Ameen!
