Ni'mah

Stay or depart makes no difference to a heart that busies itself with seeking the pleasure of the Bestower of Ni'mah more than the ni'mah itself! I'm thankful to be part of the privileged few to share in the good news. Deep down, I instinctively know that you will do very well on 1 Nov 2017. And yes, you will be a constant in our thoughts and prayers, as always, as always...

Sanah Helwa

Today I am instinctively reminded of someone dear, whose birthday falls in this month of Safar. You are in my constant thoughts and prayers - I pray that Allah ease all your affairs and that you are bestowed with much patience for all that life throws at you (I know you are strong coz I learnt so much from you) and may you be surrounded with much care, love, and respect from those whom you engage with in all your affairs. May Allah shower you with His countless blessing, mercy, and sustenance and place you under His direct care and protection. May you be placed amongst those whom you love in this world and in the next. Aamiin ya Allah. Sanah helwa.

Isyarat

Surah Ar-Rum 30:21 appeared on alert mode via my mobile the moment I was done with my supplication. And of late, I have been instinctively and keenly made aware of subtle signs that came my way. 

Imam al-Ghazali RA said, "What is destined will reach you, even if it be beneath two mountains. What is not destined will not reach you, even if it be between your lips." So go easy on yourself, for the outcome of all affairs is determined by Allah's decree. If something is meant to go elsewhere, it will never come your way, but if it is yours by destiny, from you it cannot flee. Allahu-akbar!

Surrender...

Only your mum truly knows what is best for you (thank you for your invaluable advice). O Lord! I turn to you, seeking your aid, submitting to Your Will (will be at peace with your Decree). Hasbiya-Allah wa Ni'mal Wakil Ni'mal Maula wa Ni'man Nasir, laa hawla wala quwwata illa bilLahil aliyil 'azeem.
