Bismillah:

All Praise Be to Allah SWT. Peace and salutations be upon our beloved, Prophet Muhammad SAW, his family and companions.

Alhamdulillah, for another opportunity to update my blog. Yeayy!

There have been so much things happening and I really do not know where to start.
Maybe I'll start with something that I have been wanting to share and am desperate at it. Hahah. You know the feeling when you learnt of something and you just wanna share it. This is it.

One of the subjects that I'm taking this semester is the History of the Prophet SAW. I really love it and the Professor that teaches it is really amazing. Every time of the lecture, it is like we are brought to another realm, like a fairytale land, but this fairytale ACTUALLY happened and not just any fairytale, it is the tale or history of our beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW. It's like we're riding a time machine that brings us back to the past and we passed all the scenes that depict the history of the Prophet SAW.
Give yourself a second, and just imagine, YOU ARE amongst the Prophet SAW and His companions.

*Imagination mode on* 
You were with him SAW when he was born without having a father by his side. You were with him when he lost his mother and was brought to his grandfather who loved him unconditionally and called him "my son". You were there when he worked as a shepherd and was cast asleep when wanting to attend a celebration, twice. You were there when he became a businessman and was known for his truthfulness, integrity and trustworthiness. You were there when he lived with his uncle who loved him so much so he took the role of a father to him SAW. You were there when Sayyidatina Khadijah RA proposed to him for his high manners and good qualities. You were there when he felt uncomfortable with his people and decided to separate himself from the corrupt world and chose to contemplate at the Hira' cave. You were there when the first revelation was revealed and he SAW was so scared of Jibril AS. You were there when he was unsure what was it that he saw himself and his beloved wife Sayyidatina Khadijah RA consoled him like a caring and loving wife would. You were there when he SAW did the call to Islam secretly and discreetly for three years. You were with him when he called to Islam openly and publicly. You were with him when his own people and relatives abused him and insulted him. You were with him all along....

How do you feel about that?
It's like we are with him SAW and he SAW is with us.
The feeling was SubhanAllah...

I want to leave this post with a speacial request.
Do ponder and give yourself a few seconds to imagine all of this,
Make Rasulullah SAW alive in you.
And try to make his qualities a breathing you.
Bismillah ~

Do we really have the chance to meet him SAW?
O Lord, please grant my wish (to meet him SAW).

Bismillah:

All Praise be to Allah SWT.
May All Peace and Blessings of Allah Taala Be upon The Beloved Prophet Muhammad SAW, His Family and His Companions.

Alhamdulillah Taala for one more opportunity to write on this blog!
I have a few things on my mind.

Okay. First.
I just read an article and I want to share with all of you this beautiful article!!

Abdurrahman – Story of an Italian who found Islam in the Maldives

A few excerpts from the articles:

"I was certain that I had found my faith! I had found my Lord! I had found Allah. Tears flowed down my cheeks when the Imam read those verses. And on the way back to home, I cried inside the car too. I didn’t want to waste another second – I had already wasted thirty years of my life! Without wasting any more time, I decided to embrace Islam."

"Beloved sister, don’t worry about my prayer. I prayed with RasulAllah SAW last night! I have never seen anyone more beautiful than SAW. In the whole Italy, there isn’t anyone as beautiful as him SAW. I felt as if my own self melted when he SAW smiled. My heart filled with love for him. Allah had created him SAW in the best and most beautiful way – a stunning beard, lovely black eyes, a charming smile, fine white teeth, and a face of white complexion. It was as if there was light emanating from his SAW face."

Please read it. It was a roller coaster ride for me whilst reading it. :")
And the brother mentioned here, has passed away while performing sujood!
Ma Syaa Allah Taala! How cool is that ?!

I find reading articles like this brings realisation to me. It's like a reminder poking hard onto my heart, begging me to become better. It's a burden and a bliss all the same. Ignoring the messages that contain in the article is like saying , "I'm good enough. I don;t need any reminders to make me better." And may Allah Taala prevent this trait to be in us , the trait of an arrogant and ignorant person.
The thing is, we can never have enough of reminders. We need it as a fuel, or as a wake up call to change ourselves to become better.

I love the saying, "Always remind your heart to remember Allah SWT, because there may be a time when you need your heart to remind you to do the same."

How beautiful it is, when upon nearing to do a bad thing, your heart alarms you with warnings, advices, reminders, asking you to think twice and so much more. It is as though you have your own walking reminder with you. Allah~

And never be bored in reading The Quran. Never stop contemplating on it. Never.
The Quran serves as a reminder for us , a guidance , a light and so much more.
It is a personal gift from Allah Himself to His servants. Thank You Allah Taala.
