You cant have a rainbow without a little rain

 "When Allah desires good for someone, He tries him with hardships." 
[Sahîh al-Bukhârî] 

Every one of us is being tested by Allah. He tests us all in different ways. Allah never let us bear what is impossible, He makes sure what we bear is the limit that we can take without much difficulty.

If someone encounters a difficulty, or something that is hard to deal with, that means that Allah has also given them the strength to overcome the matter and succeed in the test. If you believe that Allah always be there for you, you will see no situation is too hopeless. No sadness is ever permanent. So the key is, develop our relationship with Allah when we are in trouble and try to maintain this closeness.

If we are far from Allah (swt), the test is usually to bring us close to Him. Whatever heedlessness we are engaging in, the test should make us realize we have no one, no one at all, but Him.

There is a purpose behind every trials. And like a rainbow after the rain, there’s always a good thing after the pain.

Do not make assumptions

We are pretty much always making assumptions. We assume that we know how someone is going to react to us. We assume that we know what in their mind. Not only we believe our assumptions, but then we end up taking those assumptions personally and even end up resenting the person.

One of the reasons we make so many assumptions is because we are fearful of asking questions. Once you think you need a clear answer of it, it's a really a good idea to go ahead and ask them. In my experience, obviously by doing so you are going to be able to avoid a lot of stress and drama. So, find the courage to ask questions.

"Making assumptions simply means believing things are a certain way with little or no evidence that shows you are correct, and you can see at once how this can lead to terrible trouble"
Lemony Snicket, The Austere Academy

Good things come to those who wait

Sekuat mana kita setia.
Sehebat mana kita merancang.
Selama mana kita menunggu.
Sekeras mana kita bersabar.


Sejujur mana kita menerima dirinya.
Jika takdir Allah menentukan yang kita bukan dengan dirinya.
Kita tidak akan bersama dengannya.
Jika Allah telah menulis jodoh kita dengannya.
Kita tetap akan bersama dengannya.


Kerana tulang rusuk dan pemiliknya takkan pernah tertukar dan akan bertemu pada saat yang tepat menurut ilmuNya, insya-Allah.
Tiada yang kebetulan melainkan semuanya telah dirancang.
Dan sebaik-baik merancang adalah ALLAH S.W.T.

It doesn't matter if you get rejected by someone. You never know what's the good behind it.

Allah says in the Qur'an:

"It may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know." (2: 216)

Do not lose hope, put your full trust in Allah. Now, imagine your relationship with Allah Subhana Wa ta'ala. Allah loves us more than everyone could ever love. So if you ask Him for something, don't lose hope, know He will give you the best! Always Expect the best from Allah Subhana Wa ta'ala.

Leave your affairs to Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala. What is meant to happen will happen InshaAllah and you will get rewarded for your patience.

Hijab

In the hijab, honestly, I feel blessed\

Wearing a hijab is a way of treating oneself as somebody who is precious and special, like a treasure that is kept hidden until it is uncovered. In this way, Muslim women gain more self-confidence and self-respect knowing who they are in the society.

Generally, hijab is worn by Muslim women in front of men who are not a direct relative in order to protect themselves from indecent thoughts and acts. This is advantageous because in this way men will get to like a Muslim woman not because of her looks or physical attributes, but because of other important qualities like attitude, personality, ideals, skills, or knowledge. 

#She's saving herself for someone special. She is learning. She is struggling. She is growing. She is shifting her priorities in life

Who needs love when you've got chocolate?

I bought "The Chocolate Run" by Dorothy Koomson spontaneously when I saw a good offer of it at book fair that was held at pusanika. I expected a hilarious story about a woman who loves chocolate and it is exactly what I get from this book.

Amber was from the first pages one a character I enjoyed reading about. I liked the way she handled her life and that throughout the book she was willing to change in the areas of her life that made her unhappy. At the end of the story she was a strong woman who had learned to tell others what she wants without feeling bad about it.

I enjoyed that in the relationship between Greg and her, she was the one who remained sceptical. It felt right that she didn't fell in love with him after their first night and it took some time for her feelings to change from friendship to love. I was suprised by how much I enjoyed reading about Greg, at first I thought that he was nothing than a shallow womaniser but I soon realized that he was a good guy. I enjoyed that they had some up and downs in their relationship and how they dealt with them.

One of my highlights of the book was how Amber compared the people in her life to different types of chocolate. It was so utterly funny and imaginative. She did it in a very charming way and her comparisons were always very fitting.

The relationship between Amber and Jen was very interesting and I loved the way Amber thought about it at the end. I never really liked Jen but I can still understand why Amber wanted to give her a second chance. I also enjoyed reading about the relationship between Amber and her family and how she learned to handle what happened between her parents when she was a child. 

This story was an ejoyable to read.

put your trust in Allah

"When Allah knows we’re ready for the responsibility and commitment, He’ll reveal the right person under the right circumstances. Wait patiently. And do what we need to do, pray to Allah. Grow and be ready, you’ll see Allah will give you a love story far better than you could ever dream of."

Ya Muhaimin jika aku jatuh hati,

izinkanlah aku menyentuh hati

seseorang yang hatinya tertaut

padaMu agar tidak terjatuh aku

dalam jurang cinta nafsu. . .

Ya Rabbana jika aku jatuh hati,

jagalah hatiku padanya agar

tidak berpaling daripada hatiMu..

Why Amos Famous?

I’m extremely fond of snacking in the class and I must say, famous amos chocolate chip with macadamia nuts just about hit the spot every time.

I am intensely addicted to the crispy texture and smells of Famous Amos Cookies.

Marriage

Marriage is Sunnah and also half our deen. It's a new door that leads to happiness as it unites two people and creates new familial bonds.

Today we are living in a time where it is very difficult to get married in early age. Culture seems to play a bigger role in marriage than the religion itself which causes much distress among families especially youngsters.
