Friendship to ukhwah fillah. Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim Being in college has made me realize just how different my current social life to my social life in the past. Though, in both, I'm making friends, but somehow the present life makes me realize just how much meaningful those friendships were and are. To me, friends are the helpers in my life. Why is that so? Well, without them, I wouldn't be who I am now. In fact, I find them to be more like my family rather than just friends.  I relate my current situation with the above quote. Especially during rough times. And there are some truth that really saddens me regarding this quote. There are some points in life where true friends are needed. And, what is my definition of a true friend? A true friend is someone who sticks with you through thick and thin. They are people who selflessly volunteer themselves to be there with us. In fact, the supposed to be definition of a friend is someone who bring you towards goodness and not vice versa. That is why people always tell us to make friends wisely.  My point is strengthen by the above quotes. For you see, people's first impression of who we are, are based on the company that we keep. If we keep a company of the bad, then automatically people will label us as the bad. Though not all are like so, but all I can say is, who we befriend with really affects our lives. Friends are our first agent, alongside with our family, in our process of socialization (I learned this in sociology class), and we have the tendency to follow our groups way, just so that we can fit in. Subhanallah, the power of friendship eh? But now, I dislike to call it friendship, but I prefer to call it as ukhwah. I know that the word ukhwah has the same meaning as friendship, but I like to call it as so, just because I want to emphasize the seriousness I take towards ukhwah. To be even more serious, I prefer to call it ukhwah fillah, because, my intentions in making friends now s because I'm chasing to please my Creator, Allah swt. And when one friendship is created by iman (faith), it is a lot better and it'll last even longer. Believe me. I've been through this a lot.  All I can say, now, I have lots of friends in where I can fully say that I love them because of Allah. I have Zaf, Hazi, Zyhah, Siqin, Mira (Beb), and to be even more happy, I have all my new friends in KUIM. When talking about friends, words really fail me. I remembered the first time I stepped into KUIM. To be honest, I simply hated my first day in KUIM. >_< It was the worst, because it was my first time being alone in Peninsular without my family. I didn't have any friends at that time. Until I met Farahin. Subhanallah. Though Farahin wasn't my first acquaintance in college, but she was the first friend I made in college and alhamdulillah, we are still friends until now, though we seldom meet and hang out.  It's true, they are like stars. And I got to tell you, having to meet Farahin was the turning point of my life, for you see, I simply love her enthusiasm in everything, and her serious willpower really made me opened my eyes that I, too, want to be the same. And because of her, I got to meet with other awesome people, Ira for instance. Happy sigh~ And this semester I was given the chance to befriend with Abg Atif. He was the leader of our Unit Ceramah, and believe me, I will never regret anything. Though we only met for a few months, but I grew to like having him in my company of friends. I am sometimes jealous of his intelligence, but then, those jealousy eased whenever he shares his knowledge with us. And yes, I really miss his tazkirah a lot. And just recently, he really showed me what a true friend he is. Thank you, abg Atif. Thank you. Then there's my classmates. Especially Adda and Mira. Meeting them simply changed my behaviour completely, from being a mysterious loner to a happy-go-lucky girl. Well, not exactly happy-go-lucky, but still. :) They never fail to make me smile, and though I've only got to know them better in this semester, they are the best kind of people to hang out with, alongside with my other classmates. Kak Ayu, Kak Is, Kinah, Kirah, Teha and the others.  These are the best people I've ever met. With their craziness and the thrill and joy they gave. Subhanallah, I really miss them. And especially not forgetting my house-mates!  Allahu rabbi! Bless them with your love and compassion, for because of You, I love them dearly! :')  Here's a song, and though we're not graduating yet (though the asasi students are), still, this is a good song. "As we go on, we remember all the times we had together, And as our lives change, come whatever, we will still be friends forever." InsyaAllah, Ukhwah fillah abadan abada! :D Thank you for being my friend. Thank you for being there for me. Thank you for sharing laughs, tears, and pain with me. Thank you for giving me advices. Thank you for reminding me when I'm careless. Thank you for everything. Just simply thank you. You just don't know how much I value our friendship. Uhibbukum fillah! :')  Thank you for colouring my life! :) I'm sorry if I ever made wrong, or I did something that intentionally or unintentionally hurt you. :) 11:53 PM

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) |
