~blogger's life~

Assalamualaikumwarahmatullah,

I'm not the type of person who have the guts to advise or to make a point on something wrong to someone, except among family members. I don't call this guts, but I've commented about something to Ami Schaheera of Sptnkswthrt, and I've been uneasy since. It feels so hard to breathe while I'm writing this. I've been telling myself that I'm doing a good thing, but did I offended her?

I've read her current entry, and it makes me feel even worse. To Ami (I don't know if you read this), I hope you will be strong (as you always has), always remember that Allah will always be there for us, and have a rest whenever you need one.

I'm posting this entry to apologize to Ami if I offended you in any way. I mean really, this comes from my heart.

I felt that I need to speak it out. This uneasy feeling in my heart won't stop until I do. And hope Ami understands.

~the first ten~

Assalamualaikum muslimin and muslimat,

Today is the first ten days of Ramadhan. What have we done to deserved Allah's reward? Let us think and improve ourselves for this next 2/3 of the blessed month, don't you agree? :) 

There are 3 parts of Ramadhan, which holds a different reward for faithful muslims.

1. The first 10 days of Ramadhan - mercy (rahmat) from Allah

2. The second 10 days of Ramadhan - forgiveness from Allah

3. The third / final 10 days of Ramadhan - kept away from al-Jahim (neraka) 

Subhanallah.

Wallahu'alam.

~welcoming the ramadhan~

Assalamualaikum muslimin and muslimat,

We are now in the month of Ramadhan (already the 2^nd day!), which is the month of prosperous rewards and giving, which we should all be grabbing. Even smiling, which is a sunnah, will be rewarded how many times of rewards by Allah s.w.t., like the reward given to the practice of the wajib. Imagine if you fast, perform the solah tarawih, waking up for sahur, recite the al-Quran al-Karim, Qiam during the night (tahajjud), iktikaf in the mosque (for men), and so many more. You can’t imagine what Allah s.w.t. have in store for you this time of the month J So how have we been doin for this past 2 days? Are we fasting only by not eating or drinking? We really shouldn’t be. I’m trying too. Although we try our best to do good things, to do the wajib and sunnah as we possibly can, but are we sincere enough. These are some of the things I would like to share, which I get from Tazkirah Ramadhan in my office:

1.    The Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. advise (pemberitahuan) during Ramadhan is to fast during Ramadhan, Qiam (solah tarawih), and to prosper (mendirikan) the night of Lailatul-Qadr (10 final days of Ramadhan).

2.    To always istiqomah, ask for Allah’s redha and to be afraid that Allah wouldn’t accept our practice.

3.    Say congratulations to the arrival of Ramadhan and to pray that all of our practice during the month is accepted once the arrival of Hari Raya.

4.    Ramadhan is the month of abundance of rezeki (fortune) for the faithful.

There are truly much more to be shared, but I don’t know how to tell it properly. I can just point a few things today J Hope we can have a very blessed Ramadhan, and pray that our practice is good enough to be accepted by the Almighty Allah s.w.t.. Wallahu’alam.
