Allah mnarik kpd agama itu org yg dkehendaki-Nya dan mmberi petunjuk kpd (agama)-Nya org yg kembali (kpd-Nya) (42:13) — Quran_tweet (@Quran_tweet)

Salam lovelies

Salam Ma’al Hijrah fellow muslims!

Life as mentioned in the Quran will not be as easy and it has been reminded many times in the holy Quran;

ولنبلونكم بشيء من الخوف والجوع ونقص من الأموال والأنفس والثمرات ۗ وبشر الصابرين

And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to As-Sabirin (the patient ones, etc.).

Quoted from the Holy Quran (البقرة ١٥٥ - Al-Baqara 155)

أم حسبتم أن تدخلوا الجنة ولما يأتكم مثل الذين خلوا من قبلكم ۖ مستهم البأساء والضراء وزلزلوا حتى يقول الرسول والذين آمنوا معه متى نصر الله ۗ ألا إن نصر الله قريب

Or think you that you will enter Paradise without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? They were afflicted with severe poverty and ailments and were so shaken that even the Messenger and those who believed along with him said, “When (will come) the Help of Allah?” Yes! Certainly, the Help of Allah is near!

Quoted from the Holy Quran (البقرة ٢١٤ - Al-Baqara 214)

كل نفس ذائقة الموت ۗ ونبلوكم بالشر والخير فتنة ۖ وإلينا ترجعون

Everyone is going to taste death, and We shall make a trial of you with evil and with good, and to Us you will be returned.

Quoted from the Holy Quran (الأنبياء ٣٥ - Al-Anbiyaa 35)

Facing test from Allah SWT is never an easy task but if we put our live in His hands and understand that we are in this world only for Him. Insyallah, we will find strength and courage from the One above.

I was not born perfect either. Created too many sins and still do. But I really pray that Allah will forgive me and guide me to a better place, closer to home and home is where He is.

If only I know what I know now, I will definitely chose my path wisely. Chose the choices I have made carefully. But, I have done mistakes and all I want is to be back on the right track now.

Today is 1Muharram 1433. Let’s pray that we will be blessed from today onwards and work harder to achieve His love which has been waiting for us before we are even born.

1432, the islamic year, has not been that great for me. Still, I thanked the One above for all the hardships, tears and heartbreaks. Because through all that I have found what I really wanted. What I have been searching for. Its HIM.

I realised that human’s love could change for us anytime. We could be the world for them today but they might change their mind tomorrow when they found a new world. I have to admit I have been pleasing too many people for the wrong reasons. I have sacrificed too many times in order to gain eternal love. I have for go my wants, my feelings and any other things in order to make those I love happy. Of course, like anyone, when I have done that, I would expect them to do the same. An eye for an eye.

Sadly, the world is not as easy as that. I fell real hard and it hurts deeply.

But that was when I realised my life & death is for no one but Allah.

”Verily, my prayer, my sacrifice, my living, and my dying are for Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.” — (Surah 6:162)

I cried hard. I prayed hard. I was utterly disappointed beyond words. How could? How could that happen to me?

But, my fate was already written that way. Like it or not, I have to resign to that.

If only all those while my sacrifices and my pleasing is for Allah. I would not have been hurt. I would not have been disappointed. For Him, will only gives the best to His believers.

I do asked myself many times. Why me? And there, the search for answer begins.

ولنبلونكم حتى نعلم المجاهدين منكم والصابرين ونبلو أخباركم

And surely, We shall try you till We test those who strive hard (for the Cause of Allah) and the patient ones, and We shall test your facts (i.e. the one who is a liar, and the one who is truthful).

Quoted from the Holy Quran (محمد ٣١ - Muhammad 31)

إنا جعلنا ما على الأرض زينة لها لنبلوهم أيهم أحسن عملا

Verily! We have made that which is on earth as an adornment for it, in order that We may test them (mankind) as to which of them are best in deeds. [i.e. those who do good deeds in the most perfect manner, that means to do them (deeds) totally for Allah’s sake and in accordance to the legal ways of the Prophet SAW].

Quoted from the Holy Quran (الكهف ٧ - Al-Kahf 7)

And I realised, sure Allah has greater plans for me. No matter how painful and tearful life will be, I shall face them bravely in the name of Allah.

But 1432 was also a blessing. I have donned my hijab since 26 rejab (June 28, 2011). A day before Israk Mikraj and still do. Alhamdulilah for his great blessings. And was also blessed to be given an opportunity to work in a mosque on 28 Syawal (Sept 26, 2011).

But I was also blessed in this life to be gifted a very supportive family. Mummy, Daddy, brothers and especially my beloved sister, Mira. They are my strength from Allah. Not forgetting my gifts from Allah, Ayra & Rizqy. Subhanallah. Indeed, I am truly blessed.

I really hope you who read this post be bless too. =)

There is a reason behind everything. Do not be sad. I hope I will be much stronger and hope you all will too.

لا يكلف الله نفسا إلا وسعها ۚ لها ما كسبت وعليها ما اكتسبت ۗ ربنا لا تؤاخذنا إن نسينا أو أخطأنا ۚ ربنا ولا تحمل علينا إصرا كما حملته على الذين من قبلنا ۚ ربنا ولا تحملنا ما لا طاقة لنا به ۖ واعف عنا واغفر لنا وارحمنا ۚ أنت مولانا فانصرنا على القوم الكافرين

Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. “Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like that which You did lay on those before us (Jews and Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Maula (Patron, Suppor-ter and Protector, etc.) and give us victory over the disbelieving people.

Quoted from the Holy Quran (البقرة ٢٨٦ - Al-Baqara 286)

Till we meet again in another post. Insyallah.

Happy Islamic New Year.
