self-reflection 🕊

Talama ashku gharami ya Nur al-wujood How long I have longed for you, O Light of existence. Wa unadi ya Tihami ya ma’dinal jood Calling out, O Tihami, O spring-source of all kindness.

🕸️ everytime i am praised by someone, i would instantly have that reflection on myself: i will praise Allah for giving me the chance to become who i am, but at the same time, i am not proud of myself, as those sins would glimpse through my mind too, the sins, that i’ve done in the past, to remind myself that i am just a sinner, whose ‘aib is closed tightly by Allah. wallahu ‘alam.

💘 for all our bittersweet days

Life is a process, Life is not instant. To feel your emotions doesn’t mean losing your Imaan, treating your emotions treats your Imaan.

Achievements, healing, learning, maturity, growth takes time. Everything is a growth where involves stages with ups and downs. You are always becoming. The unfolding path of becoming you now in not a single moment, but a continual journey. Allah created us together with emotions. It is okay to feel your emotions but what matters is what you do with those emotions. To understand happiness, you’ll need to understand hardships. To understand togetherness, you’ll need to understand loneliness. To understand the light, you’ll need to understand the dark. To understand free time, you’ll need to understand busy time. To understand the rainbow, you’ll need to understand the rain. [Vice-versa] I find that, Allah will motivate me through Imam Abdullah bin Alawi Al-Haddad’s qasidah and may this be for you too; If only, why, and how are the statements of the fools objecting to Allah who created, apportioned, and decreed everything in truth O heart of mine, wake up and abandon impudence Let not your worries be a lot whatever is decreed, will come to pass. He, the Most High, has taken responsibility for provisions and livelihood in a book that was revealed as a light for creation So, acceptance is an obligation, and resentment is forbidden Contentment is peace, and greed is insanity. Let not your worries be a lot whatever is decreed, will come to pass.

The feeling of sadness about losing or not having something or not given to have something is because in the first place we have the thought that, 'something' belongs to us. While truthfully everything belongs to Allah and that we own nothing. —— Rasa sebak akan kehilangan atau ketiadaan dalam mempunyai sesuatu atau tidak diberi sesuatu itu punca kerana pada mulanya kita ada pemikiran bahwa ‘sesuatu’ itu milik kita. Sedangkan semuanya milik Allah dan kita tidak memiliki apa-apa.

when your heart is in the chaos , step back from the reality and just have your time with Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala alone , cause indeed Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala is Al-Latif ( the most gentle ) ❤️‍🩹

ya Allah, please don’t reject my duas due to my sins. ya Allah, please forgive me and bless me.

The blessed days of Dhulhijjah are soon upon us 🤍

I fell in love with the tribulations given to me because I know that the One who gives me the tests also loves me. ————— Aku mencintai permasalahanku kerana aku tahu yang memberi permasalahan juga mencintaiku.

Another important and blessed date is coming soon — the Day of Arafah, on the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah. It is one of the most sacred days in the Islamic calendar and marks the day when Allah completed our religion. This is the day Allah revealed, ❝ This day I have perfected for you your religion, completed My favour upon you, and approved for you Islam as your religion” (Surah al-Ma’idah, 5:3). It is also the heart of Hajj, where the hujjaj gather on the plain of Arafah, seeking Allah’s mercy in deep devotion. For those of us not at Hajj, we are still given a chance to benefit. Fasting on the Day of Arafah is a highly encouraged sunnah. Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alaihi wassalam said, ❝ Fasting on the Day of Arafah, I hope from Allah, will expiate the sins of the year before and the year after” (Muslim). It is also the best day to make du‘a, as he said, ❝ The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of Arafah” (Tirmidhi). This is our chance to seek forgiveness, guidance, and blessings for this life and the next. Did you know that this is also the day when Allah frees the most people from the Hellfire? Rasulullah sallallahu ‘alaihi wassalam said, ❝ There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of Arafah” (Muslim). Even if we are not on the plains of Arafah, the door of mercy is open to us, right where we are. This is a day to remember how vast His mercy is and how close He is to those who call upon Him. Use this day wisely. Plan to fast, spend time in du‘a, seek forgiveness, and reflect on your connection with Allah. He gives us days like Arafah as opportunities to return to Him, no matter how far we feel. May this day be a turning point for our hearts. Aamiin 🌸

may Allah grant you the best spouses who are best in character, deen and manners.

Never stop trying, but don't forget that all results are ultimately in God's hands. Tawakal does not mean being silent, but working with a calm heart because you are confident that God will give you the best. —————— Jangan pernah berhenti berikhtiar(usaha), tetapi jangan pula lupa bahwa segala hasil akhirnya ada di tangan Allah. Tawakal bukan berarti diam, tetapi berusaha dengan hati yang tenang karena yakin Allah akan memberikan yang terbaik. — Syekh Yusri Rasydi Jabr Al-Hasani

One day, Allah will show you why all the painful wait was needed, so for now, keep on making dua. Keep on knocking on the door till it opens. Keep on believing in the hikma and khayr of delays. After all, it is only Alläh who Knows the perfect time for everything.

i hope we teach ourselves that our deen is not a restriction, but a protection.

“My hardships are big, Lord” Let's not say, “Our problem is great, Lord” but say, “Oh problem, I have a God who is greatest of the greatest!” Because..That is a sentence that the scholars replaced, let's not belittle Allah. That sentence is as if it is belittling Allah. ————— “Ujian saya besar ya Rabb” Jangan kita katakan, “Masalah kita besar ya Rabb” tapi katakan lah, “Wahai masalah, saya punya Tuhan yang maha Besar!” Kerana..Itu adalah kalimat bahawa para ulama’ menggantikannya, jangan kita merendahkan Allah. Itu kalimat seakan-akan merendahkan Allah.
