English Wa latahinu wa latahzanu wa antumul a'launa inkuntum mukminin. "So do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers." [al-Imran, 3:139] Just felt like sharing this to everyone, cause today during English class, I suddenly remembered these words in the Quran. Isn't it beautiful? Doesn't it contain such wonderful meaning? Why English class? Easy. When Sir Muhaimin entered our class today with a big grin and being all hyped-up and literally singing 'Good afternoon class' to us, it made me smile. And believe me, it made my whole day a lot better. It is to say that, despite everything we've been through in life, when someone in your life brings a positive aura, you just can can't get that aura. The aura automatically enters you and will make you smile. Let's emphasize "So do not weaken and do not grieve.." [Wa latahinu wa latahzanu] It is a motivational sentence in the Quran, meant for us. And then the sentence continues "and you will be superior if you are [true] believers." [wa antumul a'launa inkuntum mukminin] Subhanallah... Allah is telling us that we are put into the highest of all positions if we truly believe and fully commit ourselves in Islam. Isn't that tarbiyyah itself? Allah again told us in the Quran : La tahzan, innallaha ma'ana. Don't be sad ; Verily, Allah is there. He is telling us that He is always there for us, so don't be sad. Subhanallah... MasyaAllah... I've been blinded by the downs in life, that I forgot entirely to thank Him for everything that He had given me so far. I was too involved with my own emotions that I forgot to smile. ----------------------------- I have no idea what I am blabbering on and on and on above, but this is just how I feel today. I feel motivated just because of Sir Muhaimin's cheery behaviour today. And what happened in class today made me reflect back about how foolish and how at loss I am if I don't join them and smile. Aren't they my ikhwah? Aren't they my brothers and sisters as well? Innamal mukminuna ikhwah. Indeed, those who believes are brothers. Jazakallahu khayr, Sir Muhaimin. Your cheery and enthusiastic behaviour today really made my day, and it made me look back in the Quran. Jazakallahu khayr, ya akhi. Jazakallahu khayr, ya ustaz. Jazakallahu khayr... 8:23 PM

Frivolous. I just learnt a new word : Frivolous. Its meaning? Here goes : 1. Someone who behaves in a silly way in situations in which they should be serious or sensible 2. Lacking any real purpose or importance What does this word has to do with today's post? A lot! :) But, in an opposite way, in which I'm trying to emphasize here is : Not frivolous. Still don't get it? :) I'll try my best to explain. Remember that saying "Don't judge a book by its cover"? Well, that has to do something with my point in this post. In my own words, something may sound or look frivolous, but it is more significant than our mind is telling us. In other words, something may be insignificant in our lives, but is significant in others. :) Still don't get it? InsyaAllah, you will get it if you try being in my shoes for a while. *Smirks* But.. What I'm trying to say is, no matter how frivolous something looks or sound, it doesn't mean that we can put it aside. For instance, the words of a child may sound frivolous, but if you carefully savour his words, it could be a sign of attention and or help. I've been in many situations in where people think I am frivolous. Why? Because.. People tend to judge covers, and not the contents. I've gained so many motivational words today that it made me opened my eyes again. I was blinded by sorrow and guilt that I forgot that Allah had written everything for us. For our own benefit, even though we will never know what. Allah knows more than us. Why should we complain? Shouldn't we be thankful and grateful that Allah gave us problems, sorrow, and all those hardships? Isn't it a sign that Allah loves us, and is trying to teach us to be patient? Hasn't Allah said in the Quran stating : La tahzan, innallaha ma'ana!? Isn't it obvious that Allah gave us this kind of life so that we can be aware of His presence? He had never left you, and never will. It is us who left Him, and try imagining being forgotten by someone you love? Why are we so arrogant to our own Creator? Astaghfirullahalazim.. T_T Wait... What has frivolous... Errr.... Oh well... I've been too depressed and emotional lately. Not to forget too irrational. Sigh. Let's just leave everything to Allah, for He knows best. :') InsyaAllah.... 2:46 AM

Mere minutes... Mere minutes.. Why that topic? As a human being, we are born with emotions. We have happiness, anger, sadness, fear and anxiety and all those other emotions nonsense. My point now is that, if you carefully read all my posts, you can come to a conclusion that, in MERE MINUTES I can become from a highly motivated person to a very depressed and tearful person. In just in a few moments, I can feel so down. And believe me, that occurs a lot. Maybe... Just maybe... Maybe I've been distant with Allah.. Maybe I've been ignoring His ways and just maybe I had been forgetting about Him a lot.. :( O Allah, may all these problems and hardship be the best for my life.. InsyaAllah... For He knows, and we know not. Hasbunallah wa ni'mal wakil. 1:35 PM

Sorrow. It actually hurts me when I know that we're going to talk about a very sensitive issue (for me) in English class today. All the things that I had wished to not talk about nor to even think about came into topic today. And despite a complete essay was completed on such topic, no one even knew just how much it hurts me to write that essay. The times spent to write that essay was hard enough, what more to say to think about such topic for an essay.. I don't blame the lecturer, but I blame myself. Why? I blame myself for there is no one else to blame. Not entirely true, but I would like to force myself to believe in such statement. And yes, this is again a very depressing post, and I dislike myself every single time I make these kind of posts. It is just something that I always tend to do. I type. I write. I let go of my emotions easier like this. (And usually, this will never last long..) To think back.. To recall back.. Trying to repress my tears this morning was hard enough, and I felt very ashamed and embarrassed of myself. To be honest, English class had always been my favourite class ever since primary school. It is one of the subjects that I am good at, though I might say, I use English in a ridiculous kind of way, which by means, I make sentences that usually only I can understand, which is a total ZILCH in other's POV. -.-" And actually, this post is just plain ridiculous now that I am done crying. Okay. I'll go hide my face now. Bye. PS : A quick reminder for myself :> La tahzan, innallaha ma'ana... Innallaha ma'ana... Innallaha ma'ana... Hasbunallah wa ni'mal wakil... 2:21 PM

2013 Alhamdulillah, all praises to Allah, the alMighty and the Most Gracious, the ar-Rahman and the ar-Rahim... We are given a chance to enjoy a brand new year in the miladi calendar, (as-shuhur al-miladiyyah) and insyaAllah, there is always a reason behind every single thing. Common stuff about a new year would be resolutions, and if you were to somehow had been following my blog ever since January 2012, then you had probably read about my resolutions last year. As for 2013, I have lots and lots of resolutions, but... I better not type about it in this blog, but insyaAllah, my resolutions for this year would be more in the Islamic path rather than in Duniawi. InsyaAllah... Now.. It is 2013. Try reflect back to the past. Reflect back all the things that we had done... Honestly speaking, I am proud of who I am now. My past may be dark (in my POV) but now I see a brighter future ahead. InsyaAllah, I still aim to be a clinical psychologist. When talking about the past, I could actually cry and become emotional, but then again, why should I waste my tears because of the past.. It's the past.. It will always remain in the past. I can't change it. No matter how much I plead to change it, I just can't. Jahiliyyah (Ignorance). I led a life of jahiliyyah before. For how many years, I left Islam. I was Islam only by name, and not by my lifestyle. I lost all hope before, but now, alhamdulillah, Allah has opened my eyes and made me realize the wonder the world and my life is to me. Alhamdulillah, Allah has made me realize the importance of living. Alhamdulillah, there is no one to be thankful to besides Allah SWT. Alhamdulillah, Allah still gave me chance to repent. Alhamdulillah, Allah has given me the lesson of a lifetime. When thinking back about the past, I still can't believe that I was that ignorance about my own life. Try imagine being so depressed before, and only saw darkness and sorrow in my life. But now? Now, I see light and happiness everywhere, and insyaAllah, in this manner, I could live my life better than before. Though to be honest, there are times I still feel that depression within me, and if I am still me of the past, I would linger and dissolve myself in that feeling and would contemplate about death itself. But now, whenever I feel depressed or down, my heart and soul would always shout "La tahzan! Innallaha ma'ana!" which means, "Don't be sad; indeed, Allah is there." Isn't it the sweetest thing said in the Quran? Whenever we felt like there is no hope and we feel lonely and unwanted, Allah is always there. No matter where you are, knowing of His presence would make you feel secure and motivated. Why mope? Why cry? Why become depressed when there is always Allah right there beside you? He never leaves you, and would always love you no matter what. The only problem now would be, do you (we) love Him? That's the thing about people nowadays. When they achieve happiness in life, they forget about their Creator. But! When hardship or sorrow comes upon them, only then they remember and plead for help. And you know what? Allah is al-Wadood, the All-Loving. Allah always give aid and never forgets about us. Now, tell me. Why do we still forget? :( Astaghfirullahalazim.. I am not making much point in my words, but... I feel sad, because I know that what I just had typed was about me myself. T_T I need to change that. 2:06 AM

Madza ya'ni My life is based on the phrases stated in the Quran, where Allah has told us : 51:56 "And [tell them that] I have not created the invisible beings and men to any end other than that they may [know and] worship Me." and also, 2:30 "Note that occasion, when your Rabb said to the angels: I am going to place a vicegerent on earth. The angels said: "Will You place there one who will make mischief and shed blood while we sing Your praises and glorify Your name?" Allah said: "I know what you know not."" Our purposes of life has been clearly stated in the Quran, So, why do we still to continue live otherwise? Greater people Clearly speaking, these people down here are just wonderful people. Give them a ring-a-ding-ding once in a while! :) Ira (1) Ira (2) Farahin APG (Inche Gabbana) |
