This made me wonder

Why would you actually be friends with people
who you don't like,
who you talk about behind their backs,
who you bad-mouth openly in Social networks,
who you openly make fun of.

I mean.. srsly..
if you really don't like that person,
then why be friends with them
and pretend to be nice and all
when you are actually backbiting them?

It looks like this world is now full of
umm........ I'd rather not say.

Diamonds are not girls bestfriend

'She described how it felt to be with the person she loved.
In her words, the whole world disappeared when they were
together. The more I reflected on her statement, the more
it affected me, and the more it made me wonder.

As humans, we are made to feel love and attachment
towards others. This is part of our human nature. While we can
feel this way about another human being, five times a day we enter
into a meeting with our Lord and Creator. I wondered how often
we ever felt the whole world disappear while in His presence.

Can we really claim that our love for Allah is greater than our love
for anyone and anything else? '

Assalamualaikum Silent reader(s) ;-)

The above passages are taken from Yasmin's book, Reclaim Your Heart.
After reading the whole passage, it really made me think.

' Can we really claim that our love for Allah is greater than our love
for anyone and anything else? '

and this sentence really hits me...... to the core.

Can we .. really claim it?
Cus actions speaks louder than words.

Can we really say its a YES,
when most of us (including myself)...
put other things first instead of our Creator, 
and only come to Him when we are in hardship,
and forget Him when we are in ease,
and do the things that we weren't supposed to do,
Can we really?

The answer is an ambiguous one.

Ofcourse, we can say that our love for Allah is great.
And, Insha Allah it will be greater than our love for anything else,
if we become a better servant and are willing to do anything 
for our Almighty God, Allah.

All Were Delivered

- Yasmin Mogahed

All the voices have hushed to a whisper now.

The sounds have slept.

I rest here in the cocoon of my heart,

Waiting for its’ deliverance.

They made you think your pain was small.

Small to Him…

Because it was small to them.

Your pain is not small to Him.

Your insignificance is in front of Him—but not to Him.

You are insignificant before Him.

But you are not insignificant to Him.

My deliverance will come.

He never left any of them in this state.

Not Musa, Muhammad, umm Musa, Maryam,

Ayoub, Yunus, Yusuf, Yaqoob, Ibrahim,

Ismael, Hajar, Aasiya, Nuh.

All were delivered.

My deliverance will come.

This pain is not small to Him.

The pain of one woman was not small to Him.

The emptiness of one woman who had put her child in the river,

was not small to Him.

The pleads of one woman who was being tortured,

was not small to Him.

The complaint of one woman to the Prophet (pbuh),

was not small to Him.

The broken heart of one woman who had lost her son,

was not small to Him.

The desperation of one woman, who bore the pain alone under a tree,

was not small to Him.

His deliverance always came.

He never left any of them in this state.

Break Free

- Yasmin Mogahed

I close my eyes and dream quietly of breaking free.

I dream of breaking every single chain that has ever held me.

I cut them.

I throw glass cups against the wall.

Every vase shatters, and then I’m set free.

Free.

I will own love.

Love will never own me.

To break free is the only object of life.

Every up.

Every down.

Every turn.

Every stab.

Every pleasure.

Every pain.

Every loss.

Every gain.

Every broken chain.

Was just to allow your entire heart,

mind,

soul

and being

to realize la illah illah Allah.

Tell this imprisoned soul that it will never be owned. Nothing will ever own you.

But God.

My kind of Sonnet

Love is more thicker than forget

      BY E. E. CUMMINGS

love is more thicker than forget

more thinner than recall

more seldom than a wave is wet

more frequent than to fail

it is most mad and moonly

and less it shall unbe

than all the sea which only

is deeper than the sea

love is less always than to win

less never than alive

less bigger than the least begin

less littler than forgive

it is most sane and sunly

and more it cannot die

than all the sky which only

is higher than the sky

-------------------------------
Poem

     BY JILL ALEXANDER ESSBAUM

A clementine

Of inclement climate

Grows tart.

A crocus

Too stoic to open,

Won’t.

Like an oyster

That cloisters a spoil of pearls,

Untouched—

The heart that’s had

Enough

Stays shut

It does not end then; the tape rolls on.

"Tak perlu terlalu sibuk mencari kesempurnaan..
kalau kesederhanaan mampu membuatkan kita bahagia.."

Assalamualaikum Silent reader(s) ;-)

Hello there guys! It has been a while...
So.... Iast night me and this friend of mine 
were having late night confessions.
Late night confessions are always the best.
bcus everything that came out is the truth,
nothing else.

So umm, I think I have a small crush,
on this guy. Thats all that I know.
Its not serious actually and 
I hope this 'feeling' that I am having
now will end soon.

Cus I am still........coping with some
unsolved feelings. hmm.

and I don't see any future between
me and this guy.......... cus....
I think this guy likes this girl..
and its okay. I guess.
(okay, I think Im being a lil too
dramatic, what is future?? relax neb. hehe)

I guess Im a sucker for sweet guys.
That is my weakness.
and this shall stop.

this kind of scenario always happens
to me. The kind of scenario where
I-dont-like-you-at-first-and-at-the-end-
I-ended-up-liking-you.
and this too, shall stop.

----------------------
ok ok ok ok ok.
chill neb chill.
jangan luan deep ani.

----------------------- Only Allah knows.........

He knows what is in every heart 
- Surah Al-Mulk [67:13]

-------------------

"Thank those who abandoned you,
for if it wasn't the loneliness you felt,
you would not have returned to ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala 
in search of comfort and rescue.
It was them who taught you that ALLAH Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala 
is our Only source of peace and comfort.
Those people where there destined to steer you
towards ALLAH Ta'ala. 
Be grateful you had the opportunity to seek 
ALLAH Ta'ala in the midst of confusion and loss. 
You lost human potential but gained divine presence."
- Yasmin Mogahed

This hit me in the feels. :')

“She loved mysteries so much that she became one.”

If we’re meant to be, 
we’ll run into each other 
while walking on the same path. 
The path to Jannah (Paradise).
---------------------------------
The good times and the bad times both will pass.
 It will pass. It will get easier. 
But the fact that it will get easier does not mean that it doesn’t hurt now.
And when people try to minimize your pain they are doing you a disservice.
And when you try to minimize your own pain you’re doing yourself a disservice.
Don’t do that. The truth is that it hurts because it’s real. 
It hurts because it mattered. And that’s an important thing to acknowledge to yourself.
But that doesn’t mean that it won’t end, that it won’t get better. Because it will.
-------------------------
No matter how much you’ve tried to hate something/someone 
you’ve loved before, you’ll realized that 
you’re actually loving them more and more each day.
---------------------------------------------
One thing I truthfully and honestly believe in is that 
when Allah(swt) tests a person He really does test that person
by as much as they can bear.
And this is why, I've noticed a lot that most of the people 
who get tested with some of the most difficult trials,
tend to be really strong people, and when I say strong people 
I'm referring to strong hearted.
So, I came to this conclusion; if anyone feels like they are being deeply tested
with trials and difficulties, 
then it's probably because Allah(swt) must think your a pretty strong person.

Reading is everything. 

Reading makes me feel like I’ve accomplished something, 

learned something, become a better person. 

Reading makes me smarter. 

Reading gives me something to talk about later on. 

Reading is the unbelievably healthy way my attention deficit disorder medicates itself. 

Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; 

it’s a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, 

and it’s a way of making contact with someone else’s imagination 

after a day that’s all too real. Reading is grist. Reading is bliss.

---------------------------------------

People think a soul mate is your perfect fit,

and that’s what everyone wants. 

But a true soul mate is a mirror, 

the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, 

the person who brings you to your own attention

so you can change your life.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet,

because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. 

A soul mate's purpose is to shake you up, 

tear apart your ego a little bit, 

show you your obstacles and addictions, 

break your heart open so new light can get in, 

make you so out of control that you have to transform your life…

------------------------------------------

To know if someone really have a special place in your heart is 

to see if they have a special place in your prayer.

---------------------------------------

Cinta adalah sesuatu yang menakjubkan.

Kamu tidak perlu mengambilnya dari seseorang 

untuk memberikannya kepada orang lain. 

Kamu selalu memilikinya lebih dari cukup untuk diberikan kepada orang lain.
