Ya Habibi ya Muhammad

(My beloved O Muhammad)

Ya Shafi'i ya Muhammad

(My intercessor O Muhammad)

Khayru khalqillahi Muhammad

(The best of Allah’s creation is Muhammad)

Ya Mustafa Ya Imamal Mursalina

(O Chosen One O Imam of the Messengers)

Ya Mustafa ya Shafi'al 'Alamina

(O Chosen One O intercessor of the worlds)

Allahumma salli ala sayyidina muhammad w ala alihi muhammad;

Oh Allah we’ve shamed ourselves
We’ve strayed from Al-Mu'allim,
Surely we’ve wronged ourselves
What will we say in front him?

I don't want to hear anything from you Haram police.

It's 12th Rabiulawwal and it is the Prophet's Birthday. No, I don't wish to hear how you think it's Haram to celebrate it because as far as I am concerned the mawlids I attend are harmless events that involve singing songs of praise (Without music) in remembrance of the beloved Prophet.

I love my prophet and this is how I show how much I love him, if you choose not to do it then so be it.

maula ya saali wasallim daeman abadan

It's me;

My Hijab is not just part of religious identity, it is part of my existence; it is me.

You can say "La illaha ilallah" all you want;

2 Indonesian Christian girls were making a big fuss on Facebook about how the Muslims in Malaysia are burning down churches and how they have all along been using the word "Allah" and it has never been an issue in their country. A few weeks ago, I remember hearing a brother commenting how the Middle Eastern Christians (The arab christians) have been using the word Allah and how some of the Orthodox Jews using the word "Ellah" when mentioning God.

Personally, I don't have an issue with them using the word Allah or anything like that (No, don't start about how the Kalimah is very dear to Muslims, let me finish my point first).

Muslims, we don't have to worry or feel threatened that these people want to use the word "Allah" in replacement of "God" because at the end of the day it all goes down to just one thing that separates us from the unbelievers - our Shahadah.

Our "Ashaduallah illaha ilallah w Ashaduanna Muhammadurrasulullah" - They will never get Muhammad Saw because Muhammad belongs to us and we belong to Muhammad saw.

Now, you'll go on talking about how it's cunning of them to want to use the word Allah to confuse Muslims into becoming Christians. If that's the case then it is OUR JOB to make our missionaries more active to ensure that our people's understanding of the deen is protected.

There is no need to burn churches down.

We don't have to stoop to their level.

They can say "La illaha ilallah" all they want but they will never get Muhammad as their Rasulullah for as long as they remain kuffar.

3 year old crying over Justin Bieber.

This video is quite enough to prove just how screwed the state of humanity is. A 3 year old is wailing like she lost a loved one because she loves a 15 year old singer. No, seriously. This is exceptionally disturbing. I work with kids, I study them, I deal with them and never have I seen a child crying over a superstar like this one. Hell, I've never even seen a kid crying over a toy like this. The mother of this child should really seek some psychological help for her daughter. Imagine her when she's 17, hormonal and without a boyfriend? Omg I can't :/

Subhana'Allah :( May Allah protect all of our little ones from being disturbed by things like this.

Ameen.

Have you ever wondered...

what it feels like to be a non-muslim or born into a different religion?

I wonder what it feels like to be without a religion; I have tons of friends who are atheists.

I wonder what it feels like to not believe in God.

I wonder what it feels like to not have to pray 5 times a day and say the syahada at least 10-11 times a day.

I wonder what it feels like to be without the Hijab. Yes, I have been without my Hijab for half of my life but now, it does feel like I've had my Hijab on since forever.

I wonder what it feels like to be a vegan.

I wonder what it actually feels like to wake up in the morning as a non-muslim.

I just wonder but I don't want to feel any of the above.

I love Allah and His Islam and I love waking up everyday saying "Alhamdulillah, another day as a Muslim!"

Seriously, this is your Idol?

I don't know how many you blog readers listen to music and how many of you are fans of this dudette called Ke$ha.

She, my dear brothers and sisters, lowers the worth of women.

She puts the whole female population to shame more than anyone else.

I know that many artistes in the Hollywood/other media industry have portrayed women as pieces of meat, men go after like dogs but THIS WOMAN HAS GOT TO BE THE WORSE I HAVE EVER SEEN. Astaghfirullah.

I just happened to come across her video on youtube and WITHOUT bothering to play the video; I read the lyrics on the info box.

"Don't be a little b*tch with your chit chat, just show me where your d*ck's at"

Omg seriously?

Okay, let's not talk about morals but SERIOUSLY, how is that even worthy of a lyric?!

I thought 50 cent had songs with the worst lyrics but hell no, this woman has got to be the worst.

Disgusting. disgusting, disgusting.

First Lady Gaga, now Ke$ha; who's next?

May Allah protect us all. Ameen.

Okay, enough with the depressing posts.

I apologise for having not been actively blogging here on this blog. I've been busy with school and some other family matters but Alhamdulillah, I'm back :)

I'm sorry for the depressing posts lol. Last few weeks were not too good for me and I just didn't want to speak about the matters I was bothered with so I just kept them to myself until I finally burst out crying to Allah.

Don't matter, I'm cool now. I've learnt to be a happier person.

See, I'm in the exco (executive committee) of the Muslim Students' Society in my college and we have a fair share of brothers and sisters in the committee. I have to say that I've never felt so safe around brothers before. No, really.

All of the few brothers I knew before this were either too hormonal or well, aggressive :S

But this group of brothers we have been blessed with in this committee are just amazing subhana'Allah.

They never fail to put a smile to all our faces and in their own ways, they've taught me to be thankful.

Sometimes, I complain too much and then I allow myself to "wallow in self-pity" lol; but amidst this "depression and disappointment" I forget about those who are having things worse off than me.

When we think we're having it bad sometimes the best way to coax ourselves is by reminding ourselves that Allah will not test us if He thinks we can't handle it and so many other brothers and sisters out there are having it worse.

It's about gratitude and patience. Insha'Allah we will all learn to be happier people in time to come.

Well, I need to lol.

Hello everyone;

I know I don't do this often but;

I feel horrible. :) (& I don't know why I'm smiling)

I feel so horrible, I'd love to just cry and scream but unfortunately, it's 10 minutes to 1.

Allah, I'd love to just curl up and weep in your arms.

I love You.

Who/what would you choose?

I have had several activities in class where we're given a list of all the common things that we find in most of our lives (family, friends, money, God, religion etc) and after every few minutes, we're to strike something off the list till we're reduced to just one thing that will act as our priority in life and the one thing that drives us to be the best we can.

Alhamdulillah, the only thing that I had left on my list was Allah. It was painful letting go of my family, my principles etc but Allah is my sole pillar of strength.

My family will only be here to support me in this life but Allah stays with me till the hereafter and forever.

If you were me, what would you have chosen?

A'qilah Saiere.

Did you?

"

Whoever abandons something for the sake of Allaah, He will replace it for him with something better than it."

Did you ABSTAIN for the sake of Allah today?
