self-reflection 🕊

Aamin insha Allah 🥹

🌙 I feel that sometimes, while knowing i have goals, which makes me feel like a burden everyday trying to set high goals, terawih everyday at the mosque for example. But turnsout ramadhan is a month where we settle down and rest our souls, taking things at a slower pace yet consistent and doing what we can:) because the best of efforts are efforts that is done the most ikhlas yet sikit:)

🕋 still thinking of the first time i did my ‘umrah, the first time i see the ka’abah with my own eyes. missing that moment, that atmosphere, may Allah invite us again 🥹

alhamdulillah, based on the research, more and more youths and young adults like us, are more into going for umrah. and personally, i can vouch that as it was really an unforgettable experience, alhamdulillah, i am able to experience all that!

📽️ to be honest with you, i grew up with a difficulty in finding something that i love about myself. it’s not that i do not love myself, it’s just that i feel like others have much more than what i have right now. but when you start to learn the art of syukr’, art of sabr, art of tawakkal, everything would simply change, when you leave everything to Allah. Allah plans the best & beautifully, so back to the question, what do i love about myself… maybe how i am quite patient towards people’s/society’s attitude. alhamdulillah to have this patience, despite everything.

allahumma baarikk! masya allah, for indeed, this is an example of the way of living in this Dunya. jazakallhu kheyrr to the one who share this ☝🏻

🎞️ masya allah tabarakallah! for indeed, tahajjud heals everyone. i remembered myself doing it when i was at my lowest and wallahi, the feeling after that is just indescribable, i felt like i was hugged warmly. and it definitely changes us in every way. alhamdulillah

ِسْمِ ٱللَّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ these situations are bound to happen! but we as an adults too, we should know that we can politely ask them to stop making noises as it would disturb the concentration of the jemaah, instead of shouting at them. as we might not know, just because of that one stern shouting gesture, they become discouraged to go to the mosque. Islam teaches balance — mercy with wisdom. the Prophet ﷺ was extremely kind to children, but that doesn’t mean complete chaos is acceptable. it means we handle it with gentleness, not harshness. correction should be kind, not humility. ••• The Prophet ﷺ said: “I begin the prayer intending to make it long, but then I hear the crying of a child, so I shorten the prayer because I know how distressed the mother would be.” — Sahih Al Bukhari 709 this shows his compassion for both the child and the mother in the masjid. The Prophet ﷺ also said: “He is not one of us who does not show mercy to our young and respect our elders.” — Sunan At-Tirmidhi 1920 •• Today they make noise. Tomorrow they lead the prayer. ❤️

^^ masya allah, i received so many messages, in sya allah i’ll slowly be posting it one by one here!

☪️ assalamualaikum everyone! alhamdulillah, we’ve completed the 2nd day of Ramādhan, i was just wondering, if there is any experiences or stories that you would like to sharee? in sya allah, i will be making this platform for us to learn from one another. do share your thoughts and feelings about anything, about Ramādhan, and maybe self-reflection. let’s create this community as a safe place! https://ngl.link/selfreflectionforummah

2/30 I haven’t been feeling my best these past few days. Honestly, I’ve been struggling a lot. It’s only the second day of Ramadhan, yet I already feel exhausted. So I decided to pause. I sat down and reflected — where have I been rushing? What has been draining me? What is causing this exhaustion? And what would it mean for me to slow down? As I reflected, I began renewing my intentions for this Ramadhan. Alhamdulillah, my heart felt a little calmer. Even though I carry big dreams and goals for this month, I reminded myself that the essence of Ramadhan was never meant to exhaust me or make things difficult. It was meant to soften me, realign me, and bring me closer to Allah. So here I am — choosing to take things slowly, at my own pace. Doing what I can, with sincerity. Embracing a quiet, gentle, and slow Ramadhan, where I focus less on doing everything and more on nurturing my relationship with Allah.

this ramādhan, find excuses to love and understand yourself even more. accept who you are and how you are. 🌙 📚: berakhirlah mendung kelabu by iddin ramli

I noticed many of us say “Ramadhan Kareem” but a small reminder that It is better to say “Ramadhan Mubarak.” Mubarak means blessed and Ramadhan is a month filled with barakah from Allah. As for Kareem, it means generous and ultimate generosity belongs to Allah alone. He is Al-Kareem. So it is always better to say Ramadhan Mubarak, it means that we are making a du‘a for one another that Allah places blessings in our fasting, our salah, our Qur’an, and our hearts this month. so yes! Ramadhan Mubarak to all of us 🤍
