Planning and The Planned I

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem
Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Everything good is sadaqah

While I was sitting with my husband at our humble house, we reflected on how Allah the All Mighty planned our (barely insignificant) life. Masha Allah tabarakaLlah, there is nothing that both of us can do apart from thanking Him, Most Gracious, Most Forgiving, Most High, Most Just, Most Loving, Most Merciful. Alhamdulillah wa syukrillah. There are so many things that I wanted to share, but for now, let us make more tasbih (subhanallah), tahlil (la ilaha ilallah), takbeer (Allahu akbar) and tahmid (alhamdulillah).

May Allah bless us all

Wallahualam

All praise be to Allah, Lord of the Universe

On Marriage

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem

Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Subhanallah walhamdulillah wa lailaha ilallah wallahu akbar

On the 12th September 2010 - 3rd of Syawal 1431Hijra, Allah azzawajalla granted me the greatest blessings of climbing the steps of al baitul muslim (the muslim family). May Allah bless us all and shrouds us in His Rahmah and may we achieve sakeenah in this life and in the hereafter. Allahu yubarik feekum!

Subhanallah walhamdulillah

A group of the Sahabah asked Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him): “Teach us which kind of wealth is best, so that we may try to acquire it?” He (Peace Be Upon Him): said: “The best is a remembering tongue (one that remembers Allah), a grateful heart and a believing wife who helps one’s faith.”

[Reported by Ahmad, 5/278; al-Tirmidhi, 3039; Saheeh al-Jaami’, 5231]

Wallahua'lam

All praise be to Allah, Lord of the universe

From Him and For Him

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem

Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Place no hope in the creations, but place hopes only in Allah ta'ala
Only then, will we be content

Everything is from Him and for Him

“Nothing is difficult if you seek it through your Lord, Nothing is easy if you seek it through yourself.”

[Ibn Ata’allah]

Wallahualam
All praise be to Allah, Lord of the universe

True Believers

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem

Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Subhanallah walhamdulillah

Always something new to learn and practice

The power of giving and gratitudes

A beautiful exchange between two special lovers of Allah (swt):

Imam Jafar as-Sadiq asked the famous saint Shaqiq al-Balkhi about the affairs of his people.

Shaqiq al-Balkhi replied, 'They are well. When they receive from the blessings of Allah (swt), they are thankful. And when they are tested with difficulty, they bear patiently.'

Imam Jafar frowned, replying 'Such is the state of dogs.'

And he continued, 'The state of true believers is that when they are showered with Allah's blessings, they give. And when they are tested, they are thankful.'

Interesting reminder for all of us

May Allah grant us the Night of Power (Laylah al-Qadr)

Wallahua'lam

All praise be to Allah, Lord of the universe

Freedom & Dependence

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem
Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Merdeka, are you?

Lets free our heart from the prison of ad-Dunya!

Achieve freedom of worldly needs
Occupy your heart & soul with dependence solely on Allah
Only then will you be content

"Step out of your own self and keep your distance from it. Practice detachment from your possessiveness, and surrender everything to Allah. Become His doorman at the door of your heart, obeying His command by admitting those He instructs you to admit, and respecting His prohibition by shutting out those He instructs you to turn away, so that you do not let desire back into your heart once it has been removed.”

[Shaykh Abdul Qadir Al-Jilani]

Wallahua'lam
All praise be to Allah, Lord of the universe

As-Sabr & Optimism

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem
Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

“Every single situation you are in
is an opportunity to bring you closer to Allah.”

[Shaykh Yahya Rhodus]

O'Allah, make us the sabireen

"Dan mintalah pertolongan (kepada Allah) dengan jalan sabar dan mengerjakan sembahyang dan sesungguhnya sembahyang itu amatlah berat kecuali kepada orang-orang yang khusyuk. (Iaitu) mereka yang percaya dengan yakin bahawa mereka akan menemui Tuhan mereka dan bahawa mereka akan kembali kepadaNya"

[al-Baqarah:45-46]

Wallahua'lam
All praise be to Allah, Lord of the universe

Climbing the Stairs

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Raheem
Assalammualaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Astaghfirullah hal azheem,
astaghfirullah hal azheem, astaghfirullah hal azheem

Rabbana aatina fid-dunya hasanah, wa fil akhirati hasanah,
wa qeena azhab an-naar

[Nur:32; Furqan:74]

Insya Allah, I will be in a journey of iman where I will enter a new phase, a phase of completing my deen, laced with jihad and also followed by a leap of hijrah. Bi iznillah.

Dear brothers and sister, please make du'a for me and also the ummah. May Allah shrouds us with His divine Rahmah, make us the pious and the mukhliseen, make us steadfast in this beautiful path of being true muslims and ummatan wasata, enlighten our hearts and Guide our soul to the straight path and make us love one another as much as we love ourselves and love the prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Him (azzawajalla) more than anything else in this world. Allahumma ameen.

To my fellow da'wa brothers and sisters,
insya Allah no, the jihad won't stop there too.

Wallahua'lam
All praise be to Allah, Lord of the universe
