self-reflection 🕊

assalamualaikum everyone! just a little reminder, if possible, let’s fast, tomorrow & on friday! if we can’t do both days, just friday would also be oki, it’s the intention that matters, don’t miss this opportunity okay. 🤍

— A Day to Fast Tomorrow — The meaning of the Tarwiyah sunnah fast is the fast performed on the 8th of Dhul Hijjah, which falls on 5th June 2025. The Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu alaihi wassalam) said about the virtues of fasting on the day of Tarwiyah: ((صَوْمُ يَوْمِ التّرْوِيَةِ ... كََّارَةُ سَنَةٍ, وَصْمُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةً ... كََّارَةُ سَنتَيْنِ)) narrated by Abu Al-Sheikh in Al-Thawab and Ibn Al-Najjar from Ibn Abbas radhiyallahu anhu). It means: Fasting on the day of Tarwiyah (can be) an atonement for sins (for) one year, and fasting on the day of 'Arafah(can be) an atonement for sins (for) two years". {HR. Abu Sheikh and Ibn Najjar from the companions of Ibn Abbas}. In the book: "Tafsirur Rõzî" it is explained: عَنْ أَنَسٍ— كَانَ يُقَالُ فِي أَيَّامِ العَشْرِ : كُلُّ يَوْمٍ بِأَلْفٍ , وَيَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ بِعَشَرَةِ آلَافٍ Meaning: From Anas’s (radhiyallahu anhu) companion, he said about the reward that will be obtained (by someone) when fasting on the first 10 days of the month of Dhul-Hijjah: "Each day will be rewarded (as the reward) for fasting (for) a thousand days, and fasting on the day of 'Arafah, (then) the reward is as the reward for fasting (for) ten thousand days". {Tafsirur Rözī}.

An example of reciting the intention of sunnah fasting on the day of Tarwiyah (8th of Dhul-Hijjah): It means: "I intend to fast for tomorrow, in order to fulfill the sunnah fast on the day of tarwiyah, solely because of faith and hoping for a reward (from) Allah".

عندما نصلح علاقتنا مع اللّٰه يصلح اللّٰه لنا كل شي Ketika kita memperbaiki hubungan dengan Allah, Allah akan memperbaiki segalanya untuk kita.

Allah has beautiful doors prepared just for you. The door meant for you has your name on it, and it will open only for you, at the right time, when you’re truly ready to enter. Leave it to Allah, and He will never leave you empty-handed.❤️

Reminders for the day of Arafah 💕

🕊️ let’s try our best to fast on the day of ‘arafah, for indeed, the blessings in inevitable, when we are sincere in our deeds, the feeling of repentance, and belief in yourself, in sya allahu ta’ala, Allah will erase all of our sins, last year, and also (next year). a sign that Allah forgives us; Allah protects us from sinning, after the day of ‘arafah. day of ‘arafah, the day where all of your du’as are being heard even more, one of the most special and powerful day in Islam. let’s not waste it.

Anas ibn Malik w said, "The Prophets used to often say these words, عَلَى دِينِكَ يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي 'O You Who changes the hearts, make my heart firm on Your religion. We said, 'O Allah's Messenger! We believed in you and in what you brought us. Are you afraid for us?" He d said, نَعَمْ، إِنَّ الْقُلُوبَ بَيْنَ إِصْبَعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ اللهِ تَعَالَى يُقَلَّبُهَا 'Yes, for the hearts are between two of Allah's Fingers, He changes them as He wills. [al-Tirmidhi]

“My Lord, put my heart at ease for me, and ease for me my task.” — Quran 20:25-26

Speak with kindness, for your words may have a lasting impact on others. Choose words wisely, for they can either mend hearts or break them. People's words affect you only as much as you let them.

إِذَا أَحَبّك اللّه فَلَنْ يُحِبّك أَحَد أَكثَر مِنْهُ، وَإِذَا أَعطَاك فَلَنْ يُعطِيك أَحَد عَطيَّة أَكَرَم مِنْهُ، وَإِذَا غَضِبَ عَلَيْك، فَلَنْ يُجِيرَك أَحَد مِنْهُ. If Allah loves you, no one will love you more than Him. If He gives to you, no one can give you a gift more generous than His. And if He is angry with you, no one can protect you from Him.

🕋 The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are special, more than we often realize. Allah swore by them in the Qur'an, and the Prophet said there are no days where good deeds are more beloved to Allah than these. That means every prayer, every fast, every quiet dhikr, it all means more right now. Even if you're not going for Hajj, you still have a chance to draw closer to Allah. These days are a gift. A chance to reset. To give, to pray, to return. Don't overthink it, just start. Before they slip away.

sebesar apapun dosamu, bertaubatlah kerana ampunan لله itu lebih besar dari dosa-dosamu. 🌸

Self reminder : “ Jangan rasa malu untuk berubah, kerana syurga itu dipenuhi oleh bekas pendosa yang bertaubat. “

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim Another week (🙌🏻). Renew your intentions that everything you do is for the sake of Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala in seeking for His Mercy. Have fun in school/work/home but also remember to stay away from things that Allah dislikes yah! May He ease everyone’s affairs and may you all be under His protection, always. ❤️
