We only plan.. (Pssstt... Smile!) Something very cliché : We only plan, but Allah determines what will happen next. Let's quote it to show my emphasis on the matter : We only plan, but Allah determines what will happen next. Has it ever occurred to you that something you had planned perfectly ended up being cancelled, or postponed, or you just have to do something more important or something that you can't avoid? Well, that's the meaning of this quotation. We only plan. We only plan. We only plan! We can only plan what will happen in the nearest time, and we can work hard to achieve it, but it is Allah's job and it is His say whether He wants it to happen or not. Why does He do that? Easy. Because Allah knows what is best for us. In the Quran, He had told us : "No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah . And whoever believes in Allah - He will guide his heart. And Allah is Knowing of all things." [Quran 64:11] It is His decision whether our plan will work out as planned or not, and all we have to do is to believe and be determined that everything is in His hands, and He knows what is best for us. Again, in the Quran, in Surah at-Taubah, verse 51 : "Say: "Nothing shall ever happen to us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Maula (Lord, Helper and Protector)." And in Allah let the believers put their trust." We should trust Him in everything. It is His words and insyaAllah, His words and what He gives us is the best for us. InsyaAllah. Sometimes He gives us problems and troubles in our head, but that is His way in showing us that He loves us and remembers us. And also, that is His way in telling us that we should work harder to achieve the status of a true and a real Muslim Individual. Think about it. Another thing that I can conclude when our plan doesn't go out as planned is that we complaint and become down. Believe me, I know that feeling. Then again, why should we complain when we already know the fact that we only plan, and Allah determines everything else? We should just smile and move on. We have lots of reasons to smile, rather than to mope and sob about something that we can only manage to plan.  So, let's smile! :)  Again! SMILE! :D It's sunnah! ;)  :) 3:19 PM

The sky. I have this habit where whenever I walk around in college or other places, I will look at the sky.. I love the sky. The never-ending vast blue colour, holding an abundance of beauty where words can ever explain. The vast blue sky with its puffy white clouds, and the birds soaring freely above our heads, chirping cheerily. How can one not love the sky?  At dusk, the sky becomes red. Sometimes, purple. Sometimes orange. It depends, but nevertheless, beauty at its best. The way the clouds swirl and mix together. Subhanallah. Words just fail to describe its beauty.  At night, when the sky is filled with shining stars, and the moon is up high. It reminds me of my childhood, where kakak and abang always look at the sky with me. It reminds me of all the good times and the happiness I had felt before with them. It makes me reminisce about everything done with them, the times we played together, the times I learned lots of things from them. It's just... I just feel calm and happy..  :) To me, the sky is just a huge wonder, a huge gift Allah has given us, to show and tell us about how great and wonderful He is. Only Allah has the ability to create something that is so beautiful and wonderful like the sky. The sky is just beyond words could explain. Whenever I am feeling down, I always look at the sky. :) The sky makes me feel motivated again. Believe me, it's a good therapy. :) 2:02 PM

Challenges. Life is never complete without having to deal with challenges, or in other words, problems. Yes, I admit. I have my own problems now, but this is life, and problems is just a part of life. Challenges though, are supposed to be things that should motivate us. It is created and given to us so that we can become stronger and more matured, but somehow I don't see the maturity part in people's life nowadays. Why? The answer to that question lies inside ourselves. I went to a motivational program last Saturday, and yes, it was very outstanding indeed! Though everything was like any other motivational programs, but it has a different aura and a different feel to it, which I just can't explain it with words. Anyway, what was shared in the program was how to become successful in IPT. I learned a lot from the program, and it really made me opened my eyes very wide. Again, why? The speaker was a special needs person. He uses an artificial leg and had been bullied verbally and not to forget physically. He had endured lots and lots of hardship, but because of his determination and strong will, he achieved what others could not achieved at such a young age. He was the manager of a bank at the age of 21! IMAGINE THAT! :O Whereas I at the age of 21 (currently 19 now, btw) will be graduating for a diploma, and yet he had achieved something that no others could achieve. I am actually ashamed of myself when I compared myself to him, for : One, I had never experienced poverty like he did. Two, I had been complaining about life a lot, and yet there he is, full of life himself. Three, I had always a problem in being independent, and yet he had created something from small to a big company and to be as successful as he is now. Subhanallah... And yes, what he told us was true. Challenges are a part of life. Problems are a part of life. Hardship is a part of life. And it is our role to just play that part. In fact, what we think are so big are actually small matters. :) And yes, I truly believe about a statement he said last Saturday, in which I had been using ever since after form 5. "A successful person never tires and is tireless." "A person who wishes to become successful sees hardship as a sign for him to improve, not to be disapprove." :D And now, I'll complete this post with an ayat from the Quran : "No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah . And whoever believes in Allah - He will guide his heart. And Allah is Knowing of all things." [Quran 64:11] :) 12:56 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) |
