Ya Allah, give me a heart that forgives the worst.
When the time comes, I really want to present Him the purest of hearts. Forgiving has always been rather easy, Alhamdulillah. But to be content when you come to realise that your requests were ignored, as you face (and now have to overcome) the horrible aftermath of pure stubborn headedness… Now, that’s really a topper.
There is definitely something He wants us to learn. Something He wants me to learn. Here. Now. Perhaps, it is to remind that He alone, suffices. There has to be something. It is afterall, always part of His perfect puzzle.
Wallahu’alam.

This reminded me of a time when one of the seniors had to text me regarding school. Then, my phone was being rather temperamental and wasn’t reflecting all messages that were supposedly sent.
I recalled replying with, “I can receive your messages now! How come?” And he wittily replied, “Ahh… Because I recited ‘Bismillah’ before sending the message.”
Haha, I’m not sure if that was true, but I thought it was a good reminder nonetheless. As Dr. Israr mentioned in class; always humble ourselves before any action by self-reminding that there is a greater Power. Our pursuits can only succeed with the guidance and permission of the most Gracious, most Merciful.

From the attached page: “WHY does it even matter so much? … While we are busy trying to prove them wrong, we completely forget about how much we care, and get caught up in the grand distraction of proving them right and not being proven wrong.”
Slowly learning that being right is not always important, and forgiving is compulsory. Beautiful reminders to start the week! :D
“Do not break off ties with one another, do not turn away from one another, do not hate one another, and do not envy one another. Be O slaves of Allaah brothers.” [Al-Bukhari]
There is always something much greater than proving you’re right. Like the love for family and friends… Or better still, attempting to love all these beautifully flawed people - no different from the way you’ve been created, for His sake.
This contentment I believe, can only be achieved through a heart that loves and gives. It feels good, Alhamdulillah.

It has been some time since I last wrote. And perhaps, I may still not update this page as often as I used to. But through the classes I’ve taken and continue to enroll in Alhamdulillah, I have been constantly reminded of the obligation to share the knowledge He has blessed us with. I suppose this is once again, an attempt to share the little I know, or the good I came across, InshaAllah.
It’s interesting to browse through the contents of this site after many years; like witnessing the growth and maturity (I hope, haha) of yourself through the eyes of another. I’ve tried removing personal pictures that was posted, but should any posts were overlooked, please inform!
I came across a post I wrote back in 2010:
Relationships formed with strangers… It’s beautiful, really. How they become a significant part of your life because they choose to reach out, and you make the decision to lower your guards; let them into your vulnerabilities.
It is, isn’t it? We don’t always make the right choices with the pick, of course… But people have been sent to us for a reason He knows best, and it always is for a higher purpose than what our mortal minds are able to comprehend.
One of the sisters I got to know recently dropped by the workplace a few minutes ago, and shared a whole lot on parenting for new mothers. MashaAllah, such joy! And it’s heartwarming to witness this couple endlessly striving to continue their da’wah efforts as they juggle their responsibilities as a child, spouse, parent, employee, etc.
MashaAllah… They’re doing so much for the ummah and Deen - some being projects solely for sisters or brothers, that I felt a little upset for not doing the same. May Allah bless their efforts, guide us in our small attempts to da’wah and grant us spouses who best share these goals with us, InshaAllah! :D
Heehee, too cute to resist! :p

It starts young. For me first, and then the next generation, InshaAllah!
