The Creator and the Creation.

I love reading about how a non-Muslim revert to Islam in Hadith of the Day. (Check the website on www.hadithoftheday or on FB). 

In my opinion anyone who would make an effort to learn the Quran would discover the truth. That there is only one God and Islam is the true religion. 

And this discovery should not be limited to the non-Muslim only but also the Muslim who wishes to deepen their faith and get closer to Allah. 

After more learning and reading  of late I still believe in the basic principle of the religion that was told me more than 10 years ago. 

A non-Muslim asked our Arabic Language teacher "what is Islam really about?" And he said it is about establishing a good relationship with our Creator as well as all of His creation. 

Its that simple. 

Easier said than done?

Just imagine! What if?

You have lost everything! Your money. Your job. Your house. Maybe even your family. And even your friends. 

Every single thing then becomes a huge blessing. 

Every single bite to eat

Every single piece of clothes to wear

Every single smile of hello

Every helping hand, no matter how small. 

Every little bit of shelter from the sun and the rain

You will never complain that the "food is not so nice"

Or that your clothes is not as good as the others

Or a house with an air condition would have been way better

You would be more grateful with what you have. 

You would keep a better relationship with those around you. 

You would turn to Allah more. 

Lets not wait till then to do all that. 

May Allah keep us humble and be a grateful and obedient servant and never ever forget our Creator. 

Aameen. 

Syawal 1435

I have to admit that there are less posting in my blog since I have become a stay-at-home-Mom. Some would say that there should have been more since I have more free time. But no. Not in my case! The thing is,  truth be told, I have less things to write about. 😁

You see, more often than not, I write over something base on my observation or surrounding. Something that amuses me or puzzles me or even thought provoking. And now all that I do daily (almost) is attend "kelas ilmu" in the morning (albeit they are different ones) and stay at home in the afternoon/night. Hence the windows of opportunity for 'people-watching' is smaller. In addition, there is no more office dramas and eye-rolling incidents and anecdotes to muse over. 😉

I even used this platform to channel my feelings during those trying times, which has helped a lot since many a times I did not really want a solution, just someone to 'listen' to.

But now I find that I am more 'content' or at peace with myself. And stress free... ❤️

Mind you, life have not gone mundane or boring. Its still as happening as ever minus the peer pressure! I have the joy of going out for lunch or dinner with family and friends during the week days and enjoy the week end outings without having to worry about the monday blues. Plus the fact that I can zippity zip to my hometown any time I want. And of course the dont-be-jealous trip to anywhere anytime without having to worry about the paper work piling up on the desk in the office. 

Anyway, the rest of the year is going to be free and easy months for me. That's the plan anyway. Of course, Allah may have a different plan as after all He is the master planner. So don't give up on me just yet. Watch this space. 😊

On the occasion of the month, me and my girls would like to wish everyone Eids Mubarak. Taqabbal Allahu minna waminkum. May Allah accept (our fast and worship) from us and from you. Aameen.

It has been kind of a subdued celebration for us actually. Just a tad. For the obvious reason. Also because of the recent incidents. MH370. MH17. Gaza. 😔

May Allah bless their souls and place them in jannah. And may Allah also bless us all to become steadfast in our pursue to become the people with Iman and Taqwa. 

Aameen.
