Lament

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

Hi there
Have you ever felt that you are scared to die
Or losing someone you love?
Or losing anything that you own?
Or just to lose yourself?

Don't
It's not worth it

Because

If you die a Muslim
You'll go to heaven
If you lose someone you love
He/she will go to heaven
If you lost what you have now
You'll get in in heaven
If you lose yourself for the sake of Allah
You'll go to heaven

But
With one condition
You must live as true Muslims
And die as true Muslims

Wallahua'lam
Segala puji hanya bagi Allah, Tuhan sekalian alam

Fana

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

Innama dunya fana

God made the illusion look real
and the real an illusion.
He concealed the sea
and made the foam visible,
the wind invisible,
and the dust manifest.
you see the dust whirling,
but how can the dust rise by itself?
you see the foam, but not the ocean.
[Rumi]

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

Let's Continue This Journey

Ighfirlana ya Allah
Please Allah, forgive us

O'self, please have patience & passion in this journey to your Creator

Nawwaas ibn Sam’aan reported that the Prophet s.a.w said: “Allah has set forth the following as a parable:

"There is a road which leads straight to the destination. On either side of the road there is a wall in which there are open doors with curtains hanging on them. From the remote end of the road, a voice calls, ‘Proceed straight and don’t turn to any side!’ Whenever someone intends to lift a curtain from the door, another voice calls from above: ‘Beware! Don’t lift the curtain, otherwise you will be lured inside.’

(The Prophet s.a.w explained: ) The straight path is Islam; the walls are the limits (hudood) of Allah (which he has placed on actions); the open doors are the things that He has prohibited; the voice which calls from the end of the road is the Qur’aan and the voice which calls from above is Allah’s monitor in the heart of every believer."

[HR at-Tirmidhee]

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

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

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.”

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
