self-reflection 🕊

🛞 i post about Islamic contents doesn’t conclude that i am pious, it just means that i am just realising that i am a sinner, mocking myself, who is struggling fighting against nafs’, and trying to become someone better than yesterday.

Sometimes Allah brings people into our lives for a season to teach us, support us, or remind us of Him. When their time in our story is over, He removes them with wisdom we may not understand yet. It hurts to let go, especially when the connection felt so real. But trust that every person is written into your life for a reason and written out for a reason too :( If it’s meant to be, Allah will return them in the best way and the best time. And if He doesn’t, then He has protected you from what your heart couldn’t see. May Allah grant us peace in the people He removes, and gratitude for the people He allows to stay. 🤣

🩶kepada anak anak … ingatlah jasa ibu ayah kita yang telah membawa amanah mereka untuk menjaga Kita , memberi kita ilmu agama , dan sentiasa menaburkan kasih sayang mereka kepada kita dari kecik sampai ke besar. Doa ibu bapa: اَللهُمَّ اغْفِرْلِىْ ذُنُوْبِىْ وَلِوَالِدَىَّ وَارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِىْ صَغِيْرًا “Ya Allah ampuni dosa kami dan dosa kedua ibu bapa kami dan kasihanilah mereka sebagaimana mereka mengasihi kami sejak kecil “

A gentle reminder for us, dear Muslimah 🤍 Sometimes we don’t realise how much our hearts crave validation from people hoping to be seen, praised, or acknowledged. But the truth is… a life lived only for the eyes of people will always feel heavy and tiring. When our intentions aren’t sincere, we end up chasing approval that never lasts. And in the end, humans forget. humans overlook. but Allah never does. So let us realign our hearts. Do it for Allah. Seek His pleasure above all. Because the moment we stand before Him, people’s opinions won’t matter only our sincerity will. May Allah purify our hearts and make our deeds solely for Him, quietly and beautifully. 🤍

Don’t take it too personally when you are corrected. Sometimes we may not fully agree with the correction, but isn’t it better to have someone remind us than for no one to care about mistakes we don’t even realise we’re making? Corrections may hurt, but they are often intended to save you from a greater pain later on.

sometimes Allah breaks your heart to save your soul. what feels like the end is only the beginning of something written better for you by Him.

if the journey of this dunya was easy, sabr would not be one of the doors to jannah.

as we’re approaching the end of sem, some of us might be going through exams! and in sya allahh, i would like to share some du’as that i usually practice before any exams!: ربِّ زِدْنِي عِلْماً Rabbi zidnee ‘ilman My Lord, increase me in knowledge. - surah al insyirah - al fatihah, x3 kul (surah al ikhlas) بِسْمِ اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللَّهِ Bismillahi tawakkaltu ‘al allahi la hawla wala quwwata illa billah In the name of Allah, I trust in Allah; there is no might and no power but in Allah بسم الله الذي لا يضر مع اسمه شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء وهو السميع العليم Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'as-mihi syai'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i, wa huwas-sami'ul-'Alim In the Name of Allah with Whose Name there is protection against every kind of harm in the earth or in the heaven, and He is the All-Hearing and All- Knowing أَعُوْذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّآمَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ (3x) A’udzu bikalimatillahittammati min syarri maa khalaq I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He created. اللَّهُمَّ لَا سَهْلَ إلاَّ مَا جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلاً، وأنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الحَزْنَ إذَا شِئْتَ سَهْلاً Allahumma la sahla illa ma jaaltahu sahla wa anta tajal ul-hazna idha shi’ta sahla. O Allah! Nothing is easy except what You have made easy. If You wish, You can make the difficult easy. رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَيَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَاحْلُلْ عُقْدَةً مِنْ لِسَانِي يَفْقَهُوا قَوْلِي Rabbish rah lee sadree Wa yassir leee amree Wahlul ‘uqdatan milli saanee Yafqahoo qawlee “My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance] And ease for me my task And untie the knot from my tongue That they may understand my speech.” Surah Taha v. 25-28 in sya allah, you’ve put in your fullest effort, just trust Him and put all your faith in Him okie! tawakkal! 🤍

Coming back from Umrah feels like returning home with a heart I barely recognise softer, calmer, and a little more aware of how much I truly need Allah in every part of my life. There’s something about being in front of the Kaabah… it strips away every excuse, every distraction, and every shield I’ve used to avoid facing myself. I realised how many things I held onto out of fear, how many duas I left unspoken, and how often I forgot that Allah never abandons a heart that turns back to Him. This journey taught me that healing doesn’t always look like things getting easier. Sometimes it’s just Allah placing clarity where confusion used to sit, or placing patience where anxiety used to live. And sometimes it’s simply being reminded that I am never alone, even in the quiet battles no one sees. Now that I’m back, I’m holding onto the peace I felt there, the kind that makes you want to be better, pray better, forgive more, and love Allah deeper. May Allah keep this softness in my heart, accept my Umrah, and allow these small changes to become lifelong istiqamah. To those who will be going may Allah ease your journey, accept every step you take, and return you home with peace and clarity. 🤍 To those who are already back may Allah preserve the sweetness you felt there, keep your heart firm, and allow the changes you experienced to grow into lifelong istiqamah. And to those who have not been invited yet, may Allah open the doors of Makkah and Madinah for you in the most beautiful timing, better than anything you ever imagined. Aamiin Allahumma Aamiin 💕

Today i teach my kids about the meaning and story behind surah Al-asr, and it made me realise and reflect on how unwisely / wisely ive spent my time this year. Allah swears by time in surah Al-asr that indeed all of us are in loss or in malay ' RUGI ' except for those who believed, does righteous deeds, remind and lead others to truth and good and those who are patient.

“Whatever is done for the sake of Allah shall remain, and whatever is done for other than Him will vanish.” Sometimes we forget how temporary this world truly is. Feelings fade, people change, intentions shift but anything rooted in sincerity for Allah stays written with Him forever. When you choose patience, when you forgive, when you walk away from sins, when you hold your tongue, when you pray even with a tired heart, none of that disappears. It becomes part of your record, part of your protection, part of your light on the Day you’ll need it most. But everything we do just to impress people, to gain attention, to feel validate, it slips away. People forget. The world moves on. And we’re left empty, wondering why the things we chased never filled us. This reminder is simple but heavy, Anchor your actions to the One who never forgets you. Do things for His sake, even when no one sees, even when no one appreciates, even when it’s hard. Those are the moments that last. Those are the deeds that follow you into your grave when nothing else can. Whatever is for Allah stays. Whatever is for the dunya fades. Choose what remains.

Almost forgot this was the whole point of dunya

Ever notice when you take a wrong turn on Google Maps .. it doesn’t scream at you ? It doesn’t says ‘ You’ll never make it ‘. It just says ‘ Recalculating ‘ .. and then it gives you another route. That’s life. You might missed a turn .. but maybe you’re just taking the scenic route towards your destination. Allah never closes the road. He redirects the traveler. When you return to him , He welcomes you without saying “ You’ll never make it “. “ Do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Indeed , Allah forgives all sins. “ [ Surah Az-Zumar , Verse 53 ] So walk on even if the route has changed. The destination remains the same.

Insights about Qasidah "يا رسول الله سلام عليك" by Ustaz Shafi Baraqbah When we say:

اللّهمّ صلّ وسلّم على محمّد O Allāh, send Your blessings and peace upon Muhammad

we are asking Allāh Himself to convey our salutations to the Prophet. However, when we say:

يا رسول الله سلام عليك

O Rasulullah

, may peace be upon you

it is as though Rasulullah ‎ﷺ is standing before us— present with us. Our bodies may be here, but our hearts are with him. Rasulullah ‎ﷺ is rafī‘u ash-shān wa ad-daraj— exalted in rank and station. There is no creation like him. The more we praise the Prophet ‎ﷺ, the higher our own ranks are raised by Allāh, because Allāh elevates those who elevate the status of His Beloved. Every heart filled with love and longing for the Prophet ‎ﷺ carries his remembrance in their very being. Such a person will not be misguided, for Allāh Himself protects the lovers of His Beloved. And surely, Allāh loves those who love His most beloved Messenger ‎ﷺ.
