Astaghafirullah

Salam :)


BismillahHirrahmanNirrahim


Pray everyday for Allah SWT to give us guidance,


And I thought I am a hypocrite. Sins after sins I commit. Major or minor. BUT still ALLAH SWT let me live for another day. Meaning another chance to repent. To make proper tawbah! MASYAALLAH!


And here I'm sitting down, thinking I don't deserve  His forgiveness or to even ask His forgiveness cause I think I'm a hypocrite and a sinner BUT still ALLAH SWT let me wake up from my sleep. Allah SWT is giving me another chance to live - to repent - to make proper TAWBAH! Ya ALLAH!


And I thought I could never be a good slave to Allah SWT. But today in my heart - I asked myself - Why? Allah SWT still wake me up from my sleep. Giving me another day to live. After the sins I have done. Why?


I think and think and think...


It's because Allah SWT loves me. That's what I believe with firm conviction in my heart. Amin. Giving me chance to repent and to make proper Tawbah.


This is a story I heard from a talk:


Allah SWT loves His slave 70 times more than a mother's love to her son or daughter.


There was this man, who is madly in love with a woman. The woman said to him, "If you really love me,bring your mother's heart to me."


He ran home to find his mother. Once he found her, he stabbed her chest. Ripped it opened and took her heart.He ran back to find his love. Along the way, he tripped and fell. The heart slipped out from his hands.


Then the heart cried out -" O my beloved son, are you hurt."


He killed his beloved mother, that loves him unconditionally. He felt extremely guilty.


He took the knife and tried to stab his own heart. Then the heart cried out again: "O my son, please don't stab my heart twice."


The moral of this story is the love of our mother to us is unconditional. But Allah SWT love us 70 times more than a mother's love to her son or daughter.


We can be very disobedient children most of the times. And Allah SWT is As-Sabr - The patient.


Pray to Allah SWT for guidance

Reminder to self

Assalamu'alaikum Warahmatullah Hiwabarakatuh :)


BismillahHirrahmanNirrahim :)


Last night Ustaz Raminey gave a talk about "Jalan-jalan menuju ke Syurga" (The path to paradise)


Syurga(Paradise) and neraka(Hell) already exist. We believe that with firm conviction in our heart. So think. The way we live what path are we going to. Think...

To summarize the important part of the talk last night:


One way to the path of paradise is by menuntut ilmu. Seeking knowledge.


Engineering, Syariah, Chemistry, Tauhid, etc,etc semua tu ilmu Allah SWT. Semasa belajar, liatlah kebesaran Allah SWT, and bila di timpa kesusahan- doa kepada Allah SWT minta bantuan. Fully depend on Him. 2 in 1 benefit. InsyaAllah boleh excel in what we are doing as well as dapat reward from Allah SWT. AMIN!:)


The real knowledge brings us closer to Allah SWT. Bukannya menjauhkan or memisahkan tani from our Creator. Think...



The second way is bersihkan hati. (Clean your heart, polish your heart)



Al-kisah seorang sahabat Rasulullah SAW. Abu Umamah Ibn Jabar - Rasulullah SAW tell his companions that Abu Umamah is one of the people of paradise (Penghuni syurga) -Orangnya Abu Umamah ni very simple saja, very humble. 


Abdullah Ammar another companion of Prophet SAW- He was very curious why Abu Umamah is one of the people of paradise. What so special about him? or what amalan that is extra special he did?


In the end Abu Ummah told Abdullah that hati nya inda pernah rasa dengki and iri hati and rasa dendam, etc etc(All of the penyakit-penyakit hati ia nada).


Before ia tidur pun ia bersihkan hatinya dari semua penyakit-penyakit hati tersebut ( benci, iri hati, riak, etc)


So yeah those are two ways out of many more ways jalan tuk ke syurga.


Think...


I haven't been a good slave to Allah SWT 

I love this ayat: Surah Ad-Dhuha ayat 3:

3. Your Lord (O Muhammad ()) has neither forsaken you nor hated you.
(Tuhanmu tidak meninggalkn engkau (Muhammad) dan tidak pula membencimu)

Ayat 3 surah Ad-Dhuha really comforts me :)

Its so easy to rememeber and needing You during the hard times than the easy times. Ya Allah please forgive me.

Think

Anger and hatred won't do us any good.

How did Rasulullah SAW succeed in spreading the love, spreading Islam :) How did he excel in this world and the hereafter? You think there's an amount of anger and hatred in his heart?

How did he excel in this world and the hereafter? How did the sahabah excel in this world and the hereafter?

Think

We have akal, think.

How do we excel in this world and the hereafter??

Think!

SELFISH!

How selfish am I? HOW SELFISH AM I!

Anger and hatred in this heart won't solve any problem. Rasulullah SAW no amount of anger and hatred in his heart.
