I'm lost

Figuratively, literally, whatever-ly.....well I'm just lost. I can't find my way anymore.

Helpless feeling isn't it? Oh well, I'll just have to get over it. I must!

I almost got blown away!

Seriously.

This morning it was raining (still is) and the wind was just so strong! I had to send my sister off to work and when I got out of the house......sikit je lagi nak terbang!!! heh :P But the thing is I've gained weight now so my feet stayed on the ground despite being pushed hard by the wind. Wasn't so difficult to walk really. I could imagine me before though. I wouldn't have made it. huhu...

Even so, I love the rain. Always have and always will :)

Nikmat Allah. Alhamdulillah~

p/s: Wanted to play in the rain but my mother wouldn't let me. Besides, playing in the rain all alone would look devastating don't you think? haha...Remembered the camp the other day. Loved it when we all got a chance to actually play in the rain together which gave me a terrible flu after but who cares?! :P

All the way from volgograd

I read this at my dear big sister's blog. Kak Aiza :) She got hold of it from someone else and I got hold of it from her.

Kerana cinta itu terlalu istimewa
May 9, 2009 by muharikah

Akh,

cinta bagi ukht itu
bagaikanpermata
amat berharga
bagi insan bernamanya

Ianya
terlalu mahal
Ianya
terlalu istimewa

disimpannya cinta itu sekian lama,
diperam dibiar masak
disubur dibiar harum
disiram dibiar mekar

hanyalah menantikan
menunggu-nunggu
detik yang abadi itu

di saat sahnya sebuah ikatan
dan termateri sebuah janji
untuk saling redha meredhai
untuk saling cinta mencintai

pada detik itulah duhai akh

akan kau kecapi..

nikmatnya
harumnya
asyiknya
penangan cinta itu

dengan itu,
jangan kau pinta ia datang sebelum masanya
jangan kau pinta pembuktiannya sebelum akadnya

kerana pasti akan
hilangnya nikmat cinta itu.
kerana cinta itu
terlalu istimewa
bagi seorang ukht

kerana disitulah
letaknya harga dirinya
bahagianya
hidupnya

petiklah ia
di saat kemanisannya
di detik pertama pernikahanmu dengan si ukht itu…

Beautiful isn't it? :) Credit to the writer I'd say and to Kak Aiza for sharing :)

Kerana Cinta Itu Terlalu Istimewa~

Angels and Demons

Hold it! Correct your mindset. You are not writing to impress anyone so write whatever you want without hesitation or pressure. huhu :P

Note to self that is. haha...Now that we've got that settled, let's begin.

Have you watched that movie? I watched it last week on one of my 'walking alone' routine. huhu... I can't help but notice one thing that I'd like to point out. If you've watched, let's see if you noticed and if you haven't well, watch attentively to find it then :P

"Religion is not perfect, but only because man is not perfect."

What do you say to that? Do you agree?
Now, now my brothers and sisters don't you dare say yes because that is ABSOLUTELY WRONG. The first half that is.

Men indeed are not perfect but religion on the other hand is. You know what implication it gives to have said that line in the movie? A religion is not perfect because man is not perfect only when that religion is created by man. And so an imperfect religion has to be one that is created by man. Think about it. Isn’t that right? Isn’t that the implication?

No offence to anybody at all for I am simply weighing out the possibilities here. You are free to have your own thoughts but to my brothers and sisters you are the ones who have to look into this carefully.

Islam is from Allah the divine Creator of everything. Always has been, always is and always will be and so it is perfect in every way. This perfection has stayed on right from the beginning of its creation right up until now as it is taken care of by the One and only. It is taken care of by Him himself.

“Manusia itu (dahulunya) satu umat. Lalu Allah mengutus para nabi (untuk) menyampaikan khabar gembira dan peringatan. Dan diturunkanNya bersama mereka kitab yang mengandung kebenaran, untuk memberi keputusan di antara manusia tentang perkara yang mereka perselisihkan. Dan yang berselisih hanyalah orang yan telah diberi (kitab), setelah bukti-bukti yang nyata sampai kepada mereka, kerana kedengkian di antara mereka sendiri. Maka dengan kehendakNya, Allah memberi petunjuk kepada mereka yang beriman tentang kebenaran yang mereka perselisihkan. Allah memberi petunjuk kepada siapa yang dia kehendaki ke jalan yang lurus.”

[Al-Baqarah 2:213]

Finally, it all comes down to one,
The truth at the end of the road,
The path you choose to walk on,
The proof in front of your eyes,
Or right under your noses,
It has always been there for you to see.

Open your eyes,
Open your heart,
To the truth so long suppressed,
To the truth you might not have understood,
Reach for it,
Don’t let it pass.

For you are not perfect,
And I am not too,
So hold on to what is,
Hold on to that perfection,
Hold on to the One,
Hold on to Allah.

Islam is perfect, don’t you dare say it’s not :)

p/s: It’s been so long since I wrote a poem. Arine if you’re reading, do you think I’ve lost my touch? Haha :P

Thoughts in the morning

You know I always wonder how people can write great things. Writings that reach out to your heart and really give impact. I wish I could do such writings but in the end everything seems wrong. haha...

Probably it's because I try too hard until I forget how to actually write. I believe, what connects with people is actually honesty. Don't you think so? When someone spills out something coming straight from their hearts without really thinking of how to make it sound interesting or cool or anything like that. Just pure honesty. Have I forgotten that? It would be a pity if I have. Another thing is when people are being their real selves. Each person has their uniqueness and it's always very amusing for me to see how different people can be and how special each person is. Get's you thinking of the greatness of creation. Allah is Great :) You can never really get bored of life. There's just so much to see.

"Wahai manusia! Sungguh, Kami telah menciptakan kamu dari seorang laki-laki dan seorang perempuan, kemudian Kami jadikan kamu berbangsa-bangsa dan bersuku-suku agar kamu saling mengenal. Sungguh yang paling mulia di antara kamu di sisi Allah ialah orang yang paling bertakwa. Sungguh Allah Maha Mengetahui, Mahateliti."

[Al-Hujurat 49:13]

Ever thought of differences as a blessing? Well it is :) When you wake up every morning to the differences around you now that's a blessing and the fact that you wake up to face every different day itself is a blessing too.

Okay so, let’s give it a shot then. One honest post this morning. How about that? huhu... :P

What should I say?

Hmm...first of all...ouch! I got bitten by a mosquito (apekah?) haha...just had to say it coz it's bothering me...huhu :P

Okay let's get serious. What do you think of memories? Something we shouldn't dwell on? That can be true but the trip down memory lane is often exciting. Being home after 4 months I can't help but rummage my old things. I keep doing this lately...haha and guess what I found. A poem my best friend wrote for me.

Hope you would come across this one day

I'd rather have bad times with you,
Then good times with someone else,
I'd rather be beside you in a storm,
Then safe and warm by myself,
I'd rather have hard times together,
Than to have an easy one apart,
I'd rather have someone who holds my heart.

Friends forever
-Arine-

:) And to find that after almost 3 years of it being written and stowed away brought a smile to my face. Well of course some memories make you frown but hey that just adds to the spice of life. Time is a curious thing isn't it? It comes, it leaves, it's there and you can never say for sure what will happen due time. The uncertainty of it could kill but we learn to go through it anyway.

I’ve got to stop trying to impress others before my writing gets dull....haha... :P That shouldn’t become the aim of writing. Writers share their thoughts. The part where we share is what’s important and as long as we get the message across that should be fine. Perhaps we can’t reach out to everybody but maybe just maybe there is one soul out there that we have touched. To be able to help just one person alone is enough :) Believing that keeps me going.

Dear reader, thank you for reading :)

p/s: Be not afraid of yourself for you are who you are meant to be just the way you are. Just like that. :)

Take care of your heart

How many of you remember to do that? I think the person we take for granted most is ourselves. At least that's how it is with me. I rummagged some of my things this morning and found a scribbled note on how to take care of ourselves from 3 things.

Takbur, riak atau sombong. (Ujub too I'd say. A very scary thing to have in your heart)

Let's see the conditions and how we should handle it.

1. Kalau berjumpa kanak-kanak kita rasa diri kita lebih bijak tapi ingatlah bahawa dosanya lebih sedikit.

2. Kalau berjumpa orang tua kita rasa kita lebih tahu dan betul tapi anggaplah mereka lebih mulia kerana telah lebih lama beribadat kepada Allah.

3. Kalau berjumpa orang lebih alim dan kita bercanggah pendapat, anggaplah dia mempunyai ilmu yang lebih banyak daripada kita.

4. Kalau berjumpa orang yang jahil anggaplah bahawa dosa kita lebih besar kerana kita BERILMU TETAPI TETAP BERBUAT DOSA. Orang yang jahil berbuat dosa dalam keadaan tidak tahu.

5. Kalau berjumpa orang kafir kita rasa yang diri kita lebih mulia tapi anggaplah mungkin satu hari nanti dia akan masuk Islam.


I guess this has to do with the part of us humans being judgemental towards others. The five things above, can we think that way when we face them? Rather difficult isn't it because it's hard to control the first thing that comes to mind. Macam benda yang terus-terus terlintas tu macam mana nak halang kan? But even so, do try.

My naqibah once said, "Pandanglah orang lain dengan pandangan kasih sayang, bukan dengan pandangan benci." What does that mean? Well if we were to look at people that way, then there is no room left for us to feel superior than others. We wouldn't feel great or proud of ourselves thus taking care of our hearts.

Because you see in the end, kita ni semua hanyalah hamba-hamba Allah yang lemah. Sifat-sifat seperti takbur, riak, sombong dan ujub itu tidak layak bagi kita manusia. We are definitely not worthy of those feelings and yet we feel that way still. All we can do is fight it and change. Remember my post on perfection? There is no knowing to the limits of our capabilities.

Dear brothers and sisters and also dear me, please take care of our hearts.

salam :)

Where am I going?

~Home~

At last... haha... Alhamdulillah my final exams are over for this semester. Haven't been home for like what? 3 months? Yeah around that. Miss my room :) especially my shelves of books and of course most important is the presence of my family. Let's pray that this holiday turms out beneficial cay? Come on, pointless holidays doing nothing but having fun meaning not studying should end at some point right? :P

May Allah help me on this.

See you next semester dear friends. As for those involved in relay we'll meet up much sooner :)

Have a safe trip back home everybody.

:D Salam~

Dormant?

Just until my finals finish. Surely be blogging again after that :)

Here I'd like to dedicate a verse (asyik dedicate lagu je...ayat Quran la patutnye :P) to all my brothers and sisters especially those nearing their exams.

"Jika Allah menolong kamu, maka tidak ada yang dapat mengalahkanmu, tetapi jika Allah membiarkan kamu (tidak memberi pertolongan), maka siapa yang dapat menolongmu setelah itu? Kerana itu, hendaklah kepada Allah saja orang-orang mukmin bertawakkal."

[Al-Imran 3:160]

No one needs to be reminded that they need to work hard to achieve what they want. Well at least people do have that in mind even if they don't portray their hard work. What we often forget is the part where we leave everything to Allah.

Tawakkal~

Trust in Allah as He never breaks His promises. Trust in Him with all your heart.

That's it for now. All the best everyone! :D

Salam~

A dedication to my sister

Muhasabah Cinta -Edcoustic-

Wahai... Pemilik nyawaku

Betapa lemah diriku ini

Berat ujian dariMu
Kupasrahkan semua padaMu

Tuhan... Baru ku sedar

Indah nikmat sihat itu

Tak pandai aku bersyukur

Kini kuharapkan cintaMu

Kata-kata cinta terucap indah
Mengalun berzikir di kidung doaku

Sakit yang kurasa biar jadi penawar dosaku

Butir-butir cinta air mataku

Teringat semua yang Kau beri untukku

Ampuni khilaf dan salah selama ini

Ya Ilahi....Muhasabah cintaku...

Tuhan... Kuatkan aku

Lindungiku dari putus asa

Jika ku harus mati

Pertemukan aku denganMu

Kata-kata cinta terucap indah
Mengalun berzikir di kidung doaku
Sakit yang kurasa biar jadi penawar dosaku
Butir-butir cinta air mataku
Teringat semua yang Kau beri untukku
Ampuni khilaf dan salah selama ini
Ya Ilahi....Muhasabah cintaku...

Thanks for sharing this with me Arine.

To you dear reader, what say you on this?
