Fitrah


Pondered on what was being shared - the concept of Fitrah is profoundly beautiful in its many layers of meaning, of which include disposition, instinctive habit, purity, natural tendency towards accepting truth, potential to be good, sincerity. Souls who have such traits will naturally gravitate towards each other and preserve the purity of such close relationship. AlhamdulilLah, I am grateful to Allah Ta'ala for the gift of caring teachers who never fail to advice, guide, and remind me as well as supplicate for my well-being in this world and the hereafter. Subhana-Allah! Fitrah, I will take you in and care for you from now on (and may I benefit from my intimacy with you - may the Light shines through to the one in constant remembrance of Allah Ta'ala)... BismilLah bi iznilLah!

Muhasabah


Masya-Allah walhamdulilLah! The get-together session was an opportunity for me to muhasabah and strive towards self-improvement. I appreciate Ustaz's words of encouragement - continue on this path towards Allah Ta'ala (seeking His redha) regardless of naysayers, take their constructive feedback but only your Murabbi (mum) and your teachers know your state. I'm instinctively reminded of Surah al-'Araf 7:199, "Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; but turn away from the ignorant". Laa hawla wala quwwata illa bilLahil aliyil azeem...
