Wonders of the world~

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh everyone!

Here are some clips I found on youtube and it gives me the chills. Lets just sit down and think how perfect this world Allah has created. Subahallah :') Just think about it the ocean, the mountains.....nature is just *sigh* beautiful. lol so anyway, I hope you guys enjoy as much as I did :)

"you are what your friend's religion"

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh everyone!

I was watching this...

and got inspired to write this post cause I kept nodding my head in agreement. lol it only takes 30 minutes of your time :)

I remember the day I started wearing the hijab every

day, my palm was sweating and my heart was beating so fast but I was not covering my feet..

I remember the day I wore sheer socks and gradually changed to thicker socks...

I remember the day I packed up all my dvds and fictional books and deleted my itunes

I remember the day I gave up my nose and tragus piercings

lol and the list goes on and on.... well you get the idea :P

When I first "changed" there was definitely a lot different reactions. I mean a lot

You let the good in with the bad. There was definitely some mocking,teasing,staring, whispering,awkward moments and "semi-mean comments". lol lol lol

but we can't let all these things get under our skin, that is basically what syaitaan wants...

like when you're wearing pants that are 2 sizes bigger (for the sisters) and made you look like a potato sack and you're scared what people would think of you?

I mean it's natural to feel this way, really but we have to look at the bigger picture and humble ourselves to our creator because only his opinion matters and everything else is...nothing.

so you're not alone :) All I can say is don't take things personally and just...shrug it off and forgive them and trust me you will feel so much better.

Facing your friends can be awkward but you're changing for the better and if they're not supportive of your decision then I don't think it's the best decision to stay although I would opt. for 'influencing' them first :P If you get my drift. lol

I'm not sure which lecture was it but I do remember Nouman Ali Khan said "you are what your friend's religion" or somewhere along that line and I completely agree with this, we all know our friends does have a huge influence on you, whether you realize it or not and honestly I took me awhile to realize it as well but anyhoo all I'm trying to say is that do find friends who truly appreciate you and help you to be a better servant to the creator.

I shall study now. ba-bye!

Alhamdulillah for everything!

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

Here I am at my usual "spot" at home and finally have the time to properly update this empty blog.lol

Have you ever had the feeling when you know Allah is testing your patience?

Yes well I had that feeling today and what made me say this is because I had a really crappy day. Alhamdulillah. lol but yes it was quite an unusual day for me and I don't think I handled it the way it should be..I just thought I could've done a better way I guess.

But the thing is how our day was "suppose to go" is not up to us and I sometimes forget and there was this quote I kept repeating to myself because I am just addicted to the deen show :P and it was...

"whatever befalls you never meant to escape you and whatever have escape you never meant to befall you"

It is basically saying what is meant to be...it's meant to be and what is not...it's not.

And I thought I was a great simple daily reminder for all of us especially when you're just having a rough day and everything just doesn't go as planned and you just feel like ripping your hair out :P or is that just me? haha.

What I'm trying to say is...no matter how much you cry, no matter how much you complain, no matter many times you wish things should've been different..it's not gonna change the fact that it happened and instead of being sucha kid..wouldn't it be easier for you to accept that this is the road Allah chose for you?

And there's another famous verse from the Quran but I'm not sure what surah it is but, it goes something like...

"Allah never burdens someone beyond his scope"

Please if someone know the exact tafsir, please let me know ;) something so short means so much ;) ;)

If you're going through something really tough like losing someone so dear to you always remember we do not have a cruel god (obviously!!) and.."Allah never burdens someone beyond his scope" (pretty straight forward huh?) just remember Allah never "suffers" us if he doesn't think we can handle it.

So yea if you're just having a crappy day like mine just say Alhamdulillah! and accept whatever has been written for us!

And I hope everyone is happy and well.

xxx ( to the sisters only!) :P

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh everyone :)

I wanna be a billionaire so freakin' bad....

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

I just want to say something brief and inspired by a very dear friend of mine....

No matter how smart, beautiful and wealthy you are if you don't submit yourself to Allah, you will never find true contentment.

Have you ever felt like you have everything in your life, great family, good home, financially stable, beautiful but there's just something missing in your life and you thought that maybe just maybe you feel lonely and you decided to find a partner who is equally good looking as you are and was deliriously happy for a short while but turns sour? and you keep wondering to yourself why stuff like this keeps happening to you and you blame it on life, saying this is how life is suppose to be? and just doing stuff that just make you happy for few hours either as small as going out with your friends or as serious as fornication or drugs..but every time before you go to bed reality hits you but you're just lying to yourself and say you're happy, even knowing that you're actually not and there's just something missing in your life but you just don't know what it is?

Even if you're lacking on the looks side but you're such a smarty pants and you're expecting people to respect you because of your PhD?

But guess what?

Allah doesn't look at your education, the car you drive, the home you live in, the title you were given or how drop dead gorgeous you are - Allah doesn't create you for this purpose. To him, everyone is equal and what makes you different from each other is your Imaan, your taqwa, your good deeds.

Syaitaan is like the annoying sales person for get-rich-quick scheme, promising you to be a billionaire if you invested this much and blah or sell this product and you can earn this much. Sounds awesome right?

But can he really guarantee you that you'll be a billionaire? (can he really guarantee you that you'll be happy?)

It's not just a headscarf

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh :)

I just had a sudden inspiration and decided to post it. lol I hope everyone had a great weekend, mine was superb, Alhamdulillah.

So what's this sudden inspiration?

Jeng jeng jeng another hijab post! :P

Before you click the X button please hear me out, if the 1st few lines bores you, feel free to click the X button but I hope you do stay on until the end of the post and hopefully you will benefit something from it. Inshallah :)

I just want to share with all of you on how I come to wearing hijab, just a brief story.....

I never could understand why people perceived me as a ditzy girl and it's safe to say that people do judge you by how you look no matter how hard they try not to, whether you realize it or not ,it's a common thing.

Don't judge a book by it's cover

when you go for a job interview, their first impression will be based on how you dress yourself because how you dress reflects on who you are (I do think this is partially true!) but it's not a full prove thing...I met some amazing people but they don't cover themselves and vice versa, those who cover themselves but seriously in need of a personality make over.

And what I've come to realized is that by wearing my hijab sincerely for Allah sake, it's amazing how people's 1st impression on me started to change how they suddenly so focus on what I have to say rather than passing judgement on me based on how I look.

You know why?

Because the only thing that they can see is your hands and face and they have nothing to base their judgement on except for your words, intellect and manners. Now I'm not saying that I have fully mastered this, believe me I am still far away from being perfect...I have a long longgg way to go.

Being a full time hijabi came naturally to me, it wasn't something I struggled with...it was easy. Alhamdulillah and I fell in love with it instantly! and I love the idea of covering myself and only the exclusive people in my life will be able to see the blessings that Allah had given me :) how I truly do feel more beautiful and not a single make up could make me feel more confident than my hijab.

And I sincerely hope for all my beautiful sisters in faith would find a pious man in their lives, who understands the value of women and the importance of her hijab and treats you with sincere kindness and respect. Amin.

Have a pleasant night everyone :)

Baba Ali reminders

oh yea before I go, I wanna leave you guys with videos from Baba Ali. I love his reminders

Intentions are not something you made once. seriously. I love reminders and I admit, I am the type of person who needs to be reminded all the time whether is school work, religion, projects or whatever. Again I will admit, I used to be in love with this materialistic world and what it has to offer, probably I still am, I might have lessen..I don't know. Allah knows best and I shall leave you guys now with reminders from Baba Ali, I hope you enjoy :)

Shout out!

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

I just needed that 'slap in the face' kind of reminder. so thank you so much. For now I will be MIA for awhile, I need to re-evaluate some things. I will be back soon Inshallah till then Peace be with you.

Misconceptions, misconceptions....

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh

Hi I was just sitting down my super comfy sofa and was watching videos on youtube and I came across to another video made by an atheist and my tummy was little uneasy listening to what he has to say but I couldn't press the X button but instead I browsed more on response from atheists. As Muslims it is our responsibility to learn more about our deen.

You know why?

You may know a not-yet-muslim brothers or sisters in your life and some are just really curious people and some even might ask you about your religion,believe it or not other religions are very intrigued by our religion. They find it hard to understand why women cover themselves, why we are not allowed to eat pork or drink alcohol, why dating is haram and etc.

People would just say...the answer is simple...because it is the commandment of Allah Azawajjal essentially yes that is true, that is the main reason but some people just don't understand why and they believe everything has a reason and we couldn't blame them to be curious and being rational.

For example...

you're watching a football match lets say liverpool vs Man U then while she/he was one the phone, one of the players scored....

friend: what happened?!?

you: (insert footballers name) scored!

friend: OMGWHKP HOW?

you: pasal bula masuk ke palang

hahahahah! you get what I mean? :D that's a very direct clear cut reason why they scored but if you think about it, it's not the correct answer...it should be something like 'ohh the keeper was distracted' or whatever other reasons like that.

Essentially yes it is the commandment of Allah SWT, more often than not they wouldn't be convinced. But for us Muslims that statement alone is enough, we believe the religion of lailahaillah. what I'm trying to say is we don't need to be convinced but other people who don't believe in Islam needs to be. Why? because they don't know what Islam teaches us and it's our duty to spread the love :) the religion of Islam does not specify that it's only for the arabs, it is for the whole mankind!

Take dating for an example.

It's becoming a norm in society to have a partner in your life, it's not weird at all even in Islam communities, brothers and sisters mixing together..it's something we see everyday.

What so bad about this?

We have to understand that syaitaan will do his very best to misguide us in every single way that he could and when you're alone with your boyfriend/girlfriend. Guess what? Syaitaan's the 3rd wheel. no joke. Syaitaan won't shout at you to commit Zina but rather he'll whisper to you..

"maybe you should hold her hand, it's romantic"

...wrap you arms around her, ok fine that nothing hanky panky going on....kiss her cheek let her know that you care.......and one thing lead to another and what if you are not very lucky and ended up becoming a mother at 18?

and some will be convinced that "you're not that kind of person" what do you mean you're not that kind of person? Allah created everyone to have desires but this desires is meant to be fulfilled when you are in a lawful relationship. Imagine if the world understood this, imagine if abortion was something foreign to us, imagine the decrease in STDs, imagine not going through those horrible heartbreaks, depressions, frustrations & silly mistakes we made. Don't you think it'll be a better place to live? no more little babies being abandon by their mothers! but we all know that is not the reality...

You see, Islam is preventing us from all the bad things in life because Allah knows what is best for us :)

So it's important for us to seek knowledge, clear all the misconceptions and how they're perceive Islam and show how truly beautiful and perfect the religion of Islam is - it's a way of life. It's a way of life of all the messengers of God that is to believe there is only 1 god (Allah) and Muhammad is his final messenger. who knows maybe you'll be able to change your not-yet-Muslim friends to embrace Islam, wouldn't that be amazing? :)
