Salatul layl
I am really excited to share this with all of you. lol! As a newbie and the purpose of why I created this blog is to share my journey as a newbie, being "re-introduced" back to Islam :) There is this one quote that totally inspired me to be better:
" Being born in a muslim family does not make you a muslim, being born with a muslim name does not make you a muslim. Being a muslim means complete submission to Allah, surrendering every little bit of you "
I think it makes soOoO much sense :) don't you think?
Anyhoot! After my Fajr prayer, I thought to myself...What else can I do to increase my good deeds? what else can I do to get closer to Allah?
.......I'm not sure how it came to mind, I am really trying my best to recall how I came about but for some reason I just can't. lol forgive me, I have a gold fish memory :p
Kay, What came to mind was...Tahajjud most commonly known as Night Prayer. Some of you know and might have performed this yourself, Alhamdulillah :) I've heard of it but I never really bothered. so I decided to search on it more (googling of course! :p) Salatul layl came out.
Salatul Layl begins after midnight until the time for Fajr (morning) prayers. The best time for it is as close to the Fajr prayer as possible.
Salatul Layl consists of a total of 11 raka’ats, divided into the following prayers:
1. Nafilah of Layl: 8 raka’ats (4 x 2 raka’ats)
2. Salât al-Shaf’a: 2 raka’ats
3. Salat al-Witr: 1 raka’at
When the servant of Allah turns to his Lord in the middle of the dark night, and whispers to Him, Allah establishes His light in his heart . . . then He tells the angels:"O my angels, look at my servant. He has turned to Me in the middle of the dark night while the false ones are playing, and the heedless ones are sleeping; bear witness that I have forgiven him."
"Whoever has been granted the chance to recite Salatul Layl, a male servant or a female one, and he(or she) rises for Allah sincerely, does proper wudhu , prays salaat for Allah with a true intention, a sound heart, a humble body and a tearful eye, Allah will place behind him nine rows of angels. The number of angels in each row cannot be counted except by Allah.One side of each row is in the East, and the other is in the West. Then when he completes his prayer, he gets the reward of all of the angels in the rows."
24 more reasons:
Imam Jaffar Sadiq (a.s.) quotes Imam Ali (as) as saying that the Prophet (saww) said that a person who prays Salatul-Layl gets the following twenty four kinds of benefits:
- Secures Allah’s pleasure.
- Makes friendship with Angels.
- Is the Sunnat of the Prophets (a.s.)
- Provides the means to pursue knowledge.
- Constitutes the root of our faith.
- Keeps one physically fit.
- Drives Shaytan away.
- Protects one from enemies.
- Serves as a means of acceptance of one’s Duas and good deeds.
- Increases one’s livelihood.
- Intercedes with the Angel of Death.
- Lights up the grave.
- Provides comfortable bedding in the grave.
- Helps answering with ease the questioning of Munkar and Nakir in the grave.
- Gives companionship in the grave.
- Provides shelter on the Day of Judgment.
- Crowns one on the Day of Reckoning.
- Clothes one on the Day of Resurrection.
- Provides one with light on the Day of Judgment.
- Forms a barrier against the fire of Hell.
- Gets Allah’s pardon on the Day of Judgment.
- Increases the weight of good deeds on the scale.
- Helps one crossing the Bridge of “Siraat” without any difficulty.
- Forms the key to the Paradise.

It's a big deal

I know I've said that I'll be away for awhile but I have a little time on my hands, so why not? =]
This past few days I've come to realised that I am not being the best muslimah that I could be and what scares me is that I have no intention of improving myself, Astaghfirullah wa atoobu Ilaik :/ until I watched this video fo the quality of Salah (solat/prayers/sembahyang) though the quality of the video is really bad, I didn't managed to watch it until the end but what I've got from that video is that (and one of the biggest fact that I've forgotten!) how big of a deal salah is - a huge deal that we'll be questioned by our creator about this. yes sure, a majority of us may pray 5 times a day but it's not all about the quantity (I'm not saying it's not important but there is another factor that is equally important) ...it's also the quality of our prayers! - remember: while we are in salah, we're speaking to Allah directly.
I am guilty of this, sometimes I'm not kusyuk in my salah :( I think about other stuff while I'm in salah which is very very bad. So now, I am trying to find ways to improve my Salah. So brothers & sisters please keep me in your doas, pray for me that I will be able to stay kusyuk in all of my daily prayers! Amin.
oh btw, if you're wondering what the picture have to do with this post...well nothing, I just thought it's a cute picture :p lol

A little bit of something

Before I start I got the image above from igotitcovered, I thought it's beautiful so I would just like to share it with all of you :)
I know I've been gone for quite awhile...again another beautiful sunday. My room lighting is not working properly but hey atleast one of the lights is still working, so alhamdulillah :)
Watching lectures on youtube or The Deen Show is becoming one of my daily routines....I would like to share with all of you the 2 videos that truly moved me. One was from Yusuf Estes discussing about the unforgivable sins in Islam and of course we all know that is syirik , I've learned so much though I need to watch the lecture again. lol and the second one is Ego and Islam by Nouman Ali Khan rated 5/5!
I will post the videos at the end of this post for those who are interested in watching :) ....
So speaking of Nouman Ali Khan....He's the CEO of Bayyinah Intitute. Ok, as a Malay girl. Naturally arabic is not my mother tongue. You know why I'm saying this?
This thought came into mind everytime I read the Quran, I don't understand what Allah is telling me cause I don't understand Arabic...I don't speak the language :( and I said to myself 'hey I can just read the translation' but the thing is.....I don't want to read someone's translation ( I know this sounds bad but let be plead my case first :p) it's not like they did a bad translation of it, they did a great job, Jazakallahukhairan :) but the Al-Quran is a miracle itself and the fact that I cant understand it by myself its just sad...Why? Reading the translation is like cakap ajuk and cakap pindah. lol :P
What I'm trying to say is that reading the tafsirs is someone's translation of the quran...not our translation. We can't feel the miracle of the Al-Quran firsthand...Subahanallah imagine if we were to understand it directly...understand every single word of Allah firsthand. Subahanallah wouldnt that be remarkable? Just reading the tafsir is good enough of course,we get the general idea what Allah is telling us but we cant feel the miracle. so back to my point....Bayyinah institute is offering a 10 months course, the dream course which I think is an amazing programme. check out their website at bayyinah.com.
so yes what I'm trying to say is that I would love to learn arabic and understand the Al-Quran and feel its miracle and yes the idea of joining the dream course did come to mind. Hopefully I would be able to, Inshallah :)
Oh another suprising thing happened yesterday....This girl inbox-ed me on Facebook and asked me whether I wanted to be her model for her "The beauty of Hijab" photoshoot. lol it felt good not because she picked me to be her model but she sees me as a hijabi (awww :p) which honestly did moved me alittle :p
As promised here are the vids!
Let me know what you think on my Formspring!!!

My Spiritual fix!
Assalam 'alaikum wa rahamatullah
I was thinking to myself that I would really like to supplement the videos that I'm making with some nice written content so you can continuously benefit on this spiritual journey, insha Allah!
Two of the biggest diseases of the heart are miserliness and excessive love of this world. Interestingly enough they both of have common cure: Shukr to Allah.
Shukr is not only just to thank and praise Allah for His blessings upon you, this is only the first step, but Shukr is to utilize that which Allah blessed you with to get closer to Him (i.e. use it for His sake).
Example: Allah has blessed you with money. You say al hamdulillah for being blessed with it and then you give some sadaqah (charity) so that others may feel the same blessings as you and thank Allah as well, and this further pleases Allah and increases your reward. Every blessing can have a similar cycle, you just have to take the time to be creative and contemplate it.
I'd like to conclude with a famous statement attributed to Imam Al-Shafi' (rh): "To be able to thank Allah for a blessing is a blessing with in of itself."
My question to you is: What are you thankful for today?
Come share your answer on the facebook page.
Was salam 'alaikum wa rahmatullah

Why Hijab?
Today I just feel I like talking about wearing the Hijab. I know this can be a tough experience for some of you but don't worry, just pray to Allah to make it easy for you and Inshallah it will be :) It's been almost 2 months since I've been wearing the hijab and I love it soo soooo much! I just want to share with all you sisters my experience and to let you guys know YOU ARE NOT ALONE! there are a lot of sisters out there struggling to wear the hijab! don't be scared to wear them, it only makes you MORE beautiful! who cares what other people thinks, you do this to please your lord, that's the only opinion that matters! those other opinions are invalid. we must understand, it is an order from our creator, Allah...and we are only his creations, his servants..who are we to disobey him?
It was a so-so experience for me, I admit I was scared at first but mashallah..it's so liberating. lol yea I do get a lot of questions about why I started wearing the hijab but everyone was supportive of my decision in the end, Alhamdulillah :) the mocking and the teasing will go away sooner or later...besides wearing the hijab is beautiful to the eyes of the beholder, doesn't that make you feel good? :D - ok I know the way I write is sooo newbie-ish LOL :p I just want to let you sisters know that if you want to change, I am here for you....so take that crucial step, that one very important step, why are you scared of this piece of cloth? the piece of cloth that makes you beautiful and hinders you from the unwanted attentions!! here's a video i want you sisters to watch, trust me it's really really good!
so I hope all you sisters out there will start wearing your Hijab. don't be a part time hijabi..be a full time hijabi :D remember shaytan loves when you disobey Allah, now we can't let him win can we? :) Pray to Allah to make this easy for you!
Also here's another video I want to share.....
btw the video ain't scary :p
so dont' delay....be a full time hijabi :)

My top 5 webbies!
So brothers and sisters what shall we talk about today? hmm hmm hmm I know! how about My top 5 Websites? :D ok fine i came up with the idea this morning at work and listed down my top 5 webbies already :p LOL. Just so you know, I LOVE all the webbies! so it's kinda hard to number them, personally I think they all deserve the #1 spot :) Lets start, shall we?
Igotitcovered.org
Why I love it?
It is full of interesting and inspiring stories about wearing the Hijab, sisters from all over the world telling their stories, their journeys about being a Hijabi or a Niqabi (sisters who covered parts of their face) how they struggle or how much they love wearing or hated wearing it, wearing Hijab is not just about covering our hair its more than that! don't get what i mean? check it out yourself :) another reason why I love it is because these are REAL journeys, REAL feelings, REAL stories...it's not something that is made up and the fact that it's real, it's easy for us sisters to relate! here is one of the article that i truly truly love: A reflection on beauty

Shykh Navaid Aziz
Frustration & Hardship
Desires?
- shaytaan never tells someone to go and 'commit zina'. he knows nobody would do that. he starts small, instead. real small. like with a luagh, a certain smile...
- or a chat. when we unnecessarily chat with a person from the other gender, we slowly erase the barrier between us and the person, including even the hijab barrier.
- the reality is that most "relationships" don't begin as relationships from day 1. they start off as "friendship" grow into "it's complicated" and finally into "relationships" and sometimes x-relationships.
