Assalamu'alaikum Wr Wb :)
I hope everyone is doing great, especially in this blessed month of Ramadhan . #Aameen.
Alhamdulillah Taala for another opportunity to write in this blog. May Allah Taala make this opportunity a blessed one. #Aameen.
I am attaching a link to a new series by Sheikh Fahd Al-Kandari (May Allah Preserve him) . The series is about people Guided Through The Quran and for me, they are my motivations and inspirations. They are living proof that honor, real HONOR, comes through The Quran. Every day in Ramadhan, in Syaa Allah Taala, one new series will be released, and I have been anticipated every one of it like a little child to a candy.
Ya Allah, I was really moved by their stories and their words. Every word that came out from their mouth was like strikes of lightning to my heart, a thunder bolt to my motionless self. O' Allah, honor us through The Quran. #Aameen.
Guided Through The Quran
And one video featurng a boy age 5, almost becoming a Hafidh. Ma Syaa Allah Taala, his memorisation is superb! I just love seeing a child like him bringing tears of repentance to us, adults. May Allah Taala Preserve him and his family. #Aameen.
Hafiz Cilik Indonesia
And Alhamdulillah Taala, I have found a video of a Sheikh (Syaikh Wahid Abdussalam Bali) giving beautiful and easy tips to memorise The Quran. Check it out okay !
Tips Menghafal Al-Quran Oleh : Syaikh Wahid Abdussalam Bali
Lets be reciters of The Quran, memorisers and actors upon it. #Aameen.
Now is the best time to start. In Syaa Allah Taala. :)
Bismillah~
p.s Don't forget to make du'a for us and the Ummah. (in Syaa Allah Taala) <3
Wassalam.

الحمد لله رب العالمين. والصلاة والسلام على الرسول الأمين وعلى آله و صحبه أجمعين.
ِAssalamu'alaikum Wr Wb, to all. :)
*Wide smile*
I hope everyone is at their best state of eeman, taqwa and health.
Alhamdulillah Taala for giving us the chance to meet Ramadhan again. :)
A really great blessing indeed.
And Alhamdulillah Taala, I have been given a chance once more to update this blog.
Have you ever felt like you have lot of questions and these questions are out of the box questions and they just stay in your mind for hours, days , weeks and maybe years?
Maybe the reason why you have this questions because you havent found the answers yet. Maybe.
Have you ever felt that you need to do seomething , just something , to make sure your existence in this world is with a purpose?
Have you ever felt that you want to be better every time, every moment that passes by?
Sorry to put out in a sudden all these questions. But dont you think we have to question a lot of things.
Dont you think we have a mission , a big one, to accomplish before we die?
I mean, life is not something you get and if you die you can like watch it and mend anything that you think has to be mend?
We have to realise that we have a big responsibilty and a big task to accomplish in this world. We are all special. Seriously, we have to engrave the word SPECIAL in ourselves. I mean, sometimes we underestimate ourselves and limit our capabilities. We tend to get motivated seeing fellow Muslims being really inspirational, beneficial, doing all the amazing da'wah activities and sometimes secretly say How I wish I can be like them.. Well, in Syaa Allah, with all means, you can be like them. Why am I so confident saying this? it's because Allah Taala says in the Quran that He created a khalifah to be on Earth. That means, all of us are born with 100% potential to be a khalifah.
And the concept of being great and successful... well, it does not mean you have to be well known and popular to be great. How many people who have influenced so many and touched so many but are not known to many of us in this world. For example, Sayyidina Uwais Al-Qarni RH, he was not known to many in this world but well known to the beings in the Heavens. How cool is that? Ma Syaa Allah Taala.
For instance, we would like to be Sultan Muhammad Al-Fatih, don't we? But how many people would like to be the brave soldiers fighting hand in hand with him? The scholars who have taught him so many until he became who he was then? The parents who nurtured and educated him until he became the best king with the best soldiers mentioned by Rasulullah SAW? They were indeed Al-Fatih's backbone. And do we really know them, or even their last names? No. But do we benefit from them? YES! May Allah Taala Bless them and everyone like them. Say, Aameen.
We would like to have a khalifah like Sayyidina Abu Bakr Ash-Shiddiq and Sayyidina 'Umar Al-Khattab RA, but how many of us are ready to become their loyal people? Because a successful caliphate is not just being carried out by the caliph but also by his people. In their time, children were educated with morals and etiquettes, buyers and sellers did halaal and honest transactions, neighbours were tolerant and respected one another , strangers were in fact trustworthy brothers and so much more. Do we know them by their names? No. But do they contribute to the Golden Age of Islam? Yes. They may be ordinary people in our eyes, but extarordinary people in Allah's eyes. Can we be like them? Yes, in Syaa Allah Taala. Do we have to be well known to be extraordinary? No. Not here in this world.
So, we see here, that being great is not about being great in the eyes of people only, earning their praises and thanks. Being great is in fact for the sake of Allah SWT and you are willing to contribute more and do your best even no one knows about you or what you do, you have no regrets. Remember, Allah Taala Knows every small and tiny deed that you do . And He has promised that for every deed even as light as an atom, the reward will be seen. Soon or later? Does it matter when you have gained His SWT pleasure ?
So, back to "mission in life" topic. Everyone has his own mission. Start with small things and never belittle these small things. Because, small things will one day become big in Syaa Allah Taala. And small things do count and small things may just be your ticket to heaven. Aameen Ya Rabbal 'aalameen. :)
P.s. Start with a smile to yourself first and say Alhamdulillah. Then, spread the love with a sincere heart. Make Al-Quran your best friend!
I would like to apologise for any shortcomings.
And Allah Taala Knows better and the best.
Wassalam. *SMILE*

Turning Point.
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة و السلام على أشرف الأنبياء والمرسلين سيدنل وحبيبنا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين
Assalamu'alaikum Wr Wb, to you and all.
Alhamdulillah Taala. New blog, new leave turned. :)
Turning Point. This two words kept coming and filling up my mind for these past few weeks. Ive been thinking about this lots of time. And I think that I have to write it down. Somewhere and somehow. Thus, this blog is created. First and foremost, what I am going to write is solely for the sake of Allah SWT and Rasulullah SAW. I kept thinking that maybe there was someone out there who had experienced the same thing or felth the same feeling as I did and do now. May we together reap the benefits from one another and may Allah SWT forgive our shortcomings.
"قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : "إنما الأعمال بالنيات وإنما لكل إمرئ ما نوى
Translation: Rasulullah SAW said , " "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will receive the rewards according to what he has intended."
Together, lets correct our intentions and start a new. As I wrote in my FB status, "" Renewing and refreshing one's niat (intention) is not a one time thing. It's something we have to do for a lifetime. When, we start to complain and feel tired ect. doing someting good , ask yourself are your intentions are the same as before or have it changed? At the first place, what are your intentions? Together, lets do a recheck because it may affect the outcome of everything. Rasulullah SAW said ,"Actions are but by intention and every man shall have but that which he intended."( Related by Bukhari and Muslim ) "- And Allah Knows best. "
So, intentions are crucial for our turning point. Turning points here refers to our coming back to the straight path. We human beings tend to make mistakes , that can be said as a norm. But what differentiate a person from the other is the need, urge and act of turning away from these bad things and bad deeds to become better.
There comes a time when you feel that you're not going anywhere even if you try hard to be good, to be better. You tend to say, "I am soo far, I cant catch up. It's impossible."
1) Firstly, your struggle to actually be near Him is indeed a PROGRESS. Do not despair. Syaytaan will always come and whisper lots of worries and sorrows into the believer's heart that he/she may give up on being better.
Let me quote some sayings that can be found in the book Bidadari Bumi by Ustazah Halimah Alaydrus.
"Seruanmu memanggil nama-KU
adalah jawapan-Ku."
"Kerinduanmu pada-Ku,
adalah pesan-Ku padamu."
"Segala upayamu untuk menggapai-Ku,
pada hakikatnya adalah upaya-Ku mengapaimu."
"Dalam keheningan yang mengelilingi setiap seruan" "Allah"
menanti seribu jawapan "Disinilah Aku""
"Ketakutan dan cintamu adalah simpul untuk mendapati-Ku."
Translation: (please pardon my inaccurate/amateur translation)
"Your calling in calling Me,
is actually, My answer to you."
'Your yearning towards me,
is actually My message to you."
"Every means of you trying to reach Me,
is, in reality, My means to reach you."
"In the silence that fills every calll "Allah"
waits a thousand reply "I am here.""
"Your fear and love is a knot to get Me."
So, never despair. Your act or (even) will to change and have that turning point comes from Him. He still Loves you and Wants you to be in His path. "Never despair(give up) in the Mercy of Allah SWT. "
2) Secondly, it's better to be on track catching up then stopping halfway and reach nowhere. Look at the mirror and see and observe what has changed not just physically but also deep down there, in the heart. What has changed? There must be change. Don't ever be deceived by these words, "I am not changing. And can't change. And will never change." Don't!
3) Thirdly, have an inspiration. We humans are fragile. We are just like handphones, we need to be recharged all the time. Inspiration helps you to always be at the top even if you're feeling low. Inspiration can be a person, many people or even your surroundings. Here, in Jordan, I always got my inspiration from the the people and surrounding. Sometimes, when I was feeling low, Allah Taala gave me a boost by sending people in my life. For example, I really felt sad and weak when facing new subjects. I really had trouble understanding a particular subject. A few days later, a new student came into the class and it really changed me. This new student is so special, he's like an angel sent down by Allah SWT. He's blind. When the lecturer wrote on the whiteboard, he would just listen attentively. And, I asked myself this, aren't you ashamed of yourself?
Alhamdulillah Taala, I have my eyes to look at the diagram drew for our further understanding, and he just listened with full of concentration and tawakkal. Allah....
Read or search for the story of the Prophets (alaihim assalam), the companions (RadhiAllahu 'anhum), those who had walk this path and returned to Allah as His beloved.... this will keep you aware and want to become better everytime.
4) Never , even once, look back. Never think of the 'sweet memories' of your sin. The mistake you've done, has a lot of lessons, no doubt, BUT NEVER THINK OF GOING BACK. You may feel that you have only taken a step ahead. Trust me, a step ahead is far better than few glances backward.
5) Find a friend. And verily, the best of friend is Allah SWT. :)
Read His words. The Quran. Make the Quran your every second companion. Anytime, when you feel happy or sad, just close your eyes, make doa and open the Quran. Look at the page that you've opened. You will be surprised on how The Quran communicates with you and gives you the perfect antidote. :) TRY IT!
(to be continued)
Note: This post is dated a few months ago, only until now I edited the last few parts and posted it. All Praise be only to Allah SWT.
WAllahu Taala A'alam. And Allah Taala Knows better and the Best.
