O Ramadhan!

One more day till I can see you..:) I'm truly excited! This time, it will be the second time I meet you in Aussie..^_^ wee!

Ramadhan is a blessed month where all our good deeds will be rewarded more than any other month. So, what are you waiting for? Grab this opportunity! Read the Qur'an and try to finish it by the end of the month or do qiamullail or give money to charity or do zikr or basically do as many good deeds as possible. Cause we don't know if we'll ever see Ramadhan again.

They say Ramadhan is a month for us to prepare ourselves, to equip us with enough strength to face the other 11 months. Because during this time, when the shaytan will be lock up in hell, it'll be easier for us to do good things..(insyaAllah..).

If you have been waiting for the right time to change, Ramadhan will be the best time of all. Let say if someone want to quit smoking, quit backbiting, quit slandering, start praying the sunnah prayer, start going to masjid, start doing sadaqah...everything will be bless by Allah..insyaAllah..=)

The most important thing I think is to be consistent in what we do and Allah said so in one of his hadith. We may think that what we did was only a small thing, like donating a 50 cent to a masjid everyday, but insyaAllah Allah will reward us generously with that.

So, let us savor the moment we'll have with Ramadhan this year. So we'll have no regret later. Are you ready? ^___________^

first step

There's always a first time for everything, agree? And most of the time, the first step is the most difficult step to take. It is the step that will determine if we can move forward and continue that journey or it is the step that will hold us back and put us in doubt.

I know, to try something new or be involved or committed with something takes a lot of courage and determination but once you feel the thrill and excitement in doing that thing, subhanAllah, amazing. Even more amazing if we're doing it in the cause of God..

Remember when we were cute lil' babies trying to learn how to walk? Nahh,,of course you don't remember..but from watching those cute lil' babies learning how to walk, can we imagine that was us twenty-one years ago..? [well, for me lah. not sure bout u..oh, dah tua la jugak rasenye..=_=]

So, babies fall down and cry. But, do they give up? Did we give up once upon a time, a long, long time ago? Nope, right? cause if we did give up, how on earth did we learn how to walk now?

Because we have that determination and the support from the people around us. And of course from Allah..^_^

My dear friends, if you feel and think it's the right thing to do and it is not against Allah's command, why not try and take the first step? Cause who knows what's in store for us in the future. Open your eyes, open your hearts and pray that Allah guide us in the right way because Allah said in the Qur'an in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 216.."....and it maybe that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know".

Still learning and always will be. Reminding myself before others~

ukhuwah =)

warm winter

Salam to all..=) It has been a long time since I wrote the last post. Winter break almost come to an end. Another week to go..and a new semester will start.

I don't want winter to end. Don't get me wrong, it's not because of the coldness of the weather but because of the warmness of the hearts..=)

I've met lots of new friends this winter and become closer to those I've met last year. And I can say that I finally feel the "sweetness of ukhuwah" that everyone have been saying. SubhanAllah, amazing..^_^

And I'm very thankful to Allah for not giving up on me and continue to give me guidance to the straight path to Jannah.

All these while, I think I've been doubting myself and unsure of certain things, but it's becoming clearer now, Alhamdulillah. And I pray to Allah I can stay strong.

One verse in the Qur'an that really stuck in my heart is Surah Al-Hajj (22: 77-78).

"Believers, worship your Lord, bow down and prostrate yourselves before Him and do virtuous deeds so that perhaps you will have everlasting happiness. Strive steadfastly for the Cause of God. He has chosen you but has not imposed hardship in your religion, the noble religion of your father, Abraham. God named you Muslims before and in this Book, so that the Messenger will witness (your actions) and will be the witness over mankind. Be steadfast in your prayer, pay the religious tax, and seek protection from God; He is your Guardian, a gracious Guardian and Helper."
