Bercinta Sampai Ke Syurga

"Tidakkah pelik jika ada pasangan hangat bercinta TETAPI tidak terfikir untuk bersama SELAMA-LAMANYA?" - Ustaz Hasrizal's Bercinta Sampai Ke Syurga

Deep words. Fikirkanlah...

Rasa cinta dalam hati Allah SWT yang hadirkan. Peliharalah ia, jagalah ia supaya ia kekal bukan di sini saja tapi sampai di sana jua, insyaAllah.

Where is the fear?

"If you are afraid of any creature, you will run away from it. When you are afraid of Allah, you will LOVE Him and SEEK to be CLOSED to Him" - Ibn al-Qayyim

We said we fear Him. But do we really? Do we feel it in our hearts when we said we fear Him? Or are we just simply saying without meaning it?

We said we fear Him. But do we really? Have we LOVE Him as much as we should? Or do we still find ourselves loving His creatures/creations more than Him?

We said we fear Him. But do we really? Is it Him who we try hard to PLEASE each day? Or do we still find ourselves giving in to our worldly desires while ignoring His commands?


Ya Rabb, grant us fear and love for You in our feeble hearts. Amin.

Strong, we will be

For myself, for Adik. And everyone else.

Do not give up hope when things do not go according to your likings. Do not give up hope when things get low. Remember that as human, we can only plan what we want to do and what we want to achieve. In the end of the day, His plans will overpower us, always. Manusia merancang, Allah SWT mentadbir.

Dear broken hearts, take the words of Allah SWT as a source of motivation. There are no words that are more comforting to the hearts but His words. And His words and promises are true.

"Allah TIDAK membebani seseorang melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya..." 2:286

"Dan Kami TIDAK membebani seseorang melainkan menurut kesanggupannya, dan pada Kami ada suatu catatan yang menuturkan dengan sebenarnya, dan mereka TIDAK dizalimi (dirugikan)" 23:63

"Hendaklah orang yang mempunyai keluasan memberi nafkah menurut kemampuannya, dan orang yang terbatas rezekinya, hendaklah memberi nafkah dari harta yang diberikan Allah kepadanya. Allah TIDAK membebani seseorang melainkan (sesuai) dengan apa yang diberikan Allah kepadanya. Allah kelak akan memberikan kelapangan setelah kesempitan" 65:7

SubhanAllah. Three verses in the Al-Quran saying "Allah tidak akan membebani manusia melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya." He knows we will question stuffs. He knows we will be wondering why such and such things happen to us. He knows it all. To help us calm down, He tells us that whatever it is that we are facing, it is not something that we cannot handle. He only gives us something because He knows we are capable of managing it. See how much love He has for you and me?

"Maka sesungguhnya bersama kesulitan ada kemudahan, sesungguhnya bersama kesulitan ada kemudahan. Maka apabila engkau telah selesai (dari satu urusan), tetaplah bekerja keras (untuk urusan yang lain), dan hanya kepada Tuhan mu lah engkau berharap" 94:5-8

MasyaAllah. Allah janjikan kemudahan selepas kesulitan. He mentioned this in surah 65. He mentioned it again twice in surah 94. Janji manusia berubah-ubah. Tapi janji Allah atu pasti. Kemudahan selepas kesulitan, insyaAllah. When we are finished with one thing, go on to the next. Don't be discouraged when the first one didn't go according to our likings. Just be sure that we try even harder for the next one. We give it our very best. And then enough is Allah SWT for us to put our hopes on. Whatever it is, janganlah layan sangat the sedih feeling. Janganlah give up. Jadikan janji-janji Allah sebagai pembakar semangat untuk terus tabah, terus go forward.

"Tidak ada suatu musibah yang menimpa (seseorang), kecuali dengan izin Allah; dan barang siapa beriman kepada Allah, niscaya Allah akan memberi petunjuk kepada hatinya. Dan Allah Maha Mengetahui segala sesuatu" 64:11

Allahuakbar. Allah SWT is the Most Loving. He even tells that He will show you the way! Provided that you are faithful to Him. Apa lagi? Strive hard to be a good slave of Allah. Mesti mesti mesti cuba! Kalau mau Allah SWT tolong, tolong diri kitani sendiri dulu. Tolong diri kitani sendiri untuk jadi sebaik-baik hamba kepada Nya.

"Dan kehidupan dunia ini hanya senda gurau dan permainan. Dan sesungguhnya negeri akhirat itulah kehidupan yang sebenarnya, sekiranya mereka mengetahui" 29:64

Does it worth it crying your hearts out, feeling all down because of this world when it is only a senda gurau and permainan? It is not the end of anything if you do not get what you want IN THIS WORLD. Do not ever feel like you are losing just because you do not get what you think you deserve or what you want IN THIS WORLD. This world is just a temporary place. Do not let it rules over your soul, your heart. You SHOULD be worried if you are not preparing to win for the life in the Hereafter. And even if you are losing (after you do your best) then that is still okay. You do not lose anything if you are doing it for the sake of Allah SWT. Allah SWT will give you reward for every sweat, every pain that you go through in order to please Him, insyaAllah. People may not appreciate what you did. They may not see or know how hard you tried. But remember that Allah SWT is the Most Appreciative and He knows and sees everything. And cukuplah Allah SWT for us kan? :)

Wallahu'alam.

Let's face the trials and tribulations in this life with Allah SWT words always on our minds, in our hearts. Let's face them with a strong heart. Salaams.

Fragile Heart

Dearest my fragile heart,

I know you must have heard this before. But I feel the need to tell you this again. Because I know how forgetful you can really be.

No one, I repeat, NO ONE deserves that HIGHEST special place in you except Him alone. It is Him whom you belong to. You are beating each day because He let you. And you will be beating until He orders you to stop.

If you ever decide to love and let someone or anyone or anything in, I hope that you will love and let that person or that thing in because you love Him. In other words, I hope that you will let them in for His sake. Likewise, if you ever decide to hate anyone or anything, please hate them because you love Him.

Please don't you go and love or hate anyone or anything simply because your nafs tell you to. You have to remember that it is Him that you are striving to please. And not your nafs or your worldly desires.

Please dearest fragile heart, please don't make anyone else takes His place in you.

Love,
Slave of Allah SWT


Mencabarnya urusan menjaga hati


"Ya Allah, janganlah Engkau biarkan cinta dan rin
du ku kepada manusia dan dunia ini melebihi cinta dan rindu ku kepada Mu dan Muhammad SAW. AMIN."

True Strength

The hate that I feel in my heart is real,
But these are feelings that I don't want to feel.
Please Allah help me to be strong,
As I know feeling like this is wrong.
You know the pain and anger that I feel in my heart,
Please take it away and make it depart.
I'm so tired and weary Dear Lord,
These feelings I cannot afford.
I want to feel alive, I want to feel free,
I want to be the best Muslim that I can be.
Please take this pain, throw it away,
I need to prostrate to You and pray.
Please Allah forgive my anger,
These feelings are from Syaitan - I'm in danger!
Please calm my heart, calm my mind,
Let me feel the peace that I yearn to find.
Thank You Allah for hearing me out,
Thank You Allah for allowing me to take the Right route.

I was feeling so mad a few moments ago. I felt like crying. Read through the poem above, and Alhamdullilah, it helps me cool down a bit. I wish I knew who wrote it but I have no idea. Came across this poem back then in Manchester. I'M SO FEELING THE POEM RIGHT NOW :(

The Prophet SAW said: "TRUE STRENGTH is NOT the ability to never be knocked down by anybody; BUT to be able to CONTROL one's ANGER, especially when a person has the ability to act on it." (Muslim).

May Allah SWT give me the strength to fight this anger that I feel inside of me. May Allah SWT give us all the strength to fight the evil whispers of the Syaitan. For verily, we are weak slaves and there is no strength except with Allah alone. Amin.

Beautiful

Beautiful birds swimming in a beautiful sea on a one beautiful day. Alhamdulillah, I was blessed beyond measure to be able to witness such a beautiful scenery which none could have created but Him alone, the One Who is the Most Beautiful.



Beauty is subjective. Different people have different views. Which one to follow then? Follow NONE of them. Not the magazines, nor the TVs. Not person A, nor person B's views. If there is one standard of beauty that one should be striving to achieve is that of the One Who is the Most Beautiful.

Let's strive to be beautiful in His eyes. Definitely not an easy task with temptations all around. But then again, nothing worth having comes easy, isn't it? Don't mind if you're slow on getting there. What matters is you DON'T GIVE UP on getting there. You DON'T STOP TRYING to be beautiful in accordance with the standard set by Allah SWT. May Allah SWT give us the strength to fight all the temptations and help us all be beautiful in His eyes, insyaAllah.
