Bestnye!

~ One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

~ Doubt is a pain too lonely to know that Faith is his twin.

Kahlil Gibran

Man, I love this

Life is too short to wake up with regrets,
SO LOVE THE PEOPLE WHO TREAT YOU RIGHT, FORGET ABOUT THE ONE’S WHO DON’T (i'm trying, i'm trying!)
Believe everything happens for a reason (i know, but why's it so hard to remember this when shit happens?!)
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands... If it changes your life, let it (wht abt the no regrets part? hmm)

my brother e-mailed me this. i think it's really informative and would really help kalo2 ade kawan2 yg bukan Islam suddenly ask u soalan2 cepu emas such as why we muslims don't eat pork. helped me to understand more jugak :)

The Many Definitions of Forgiveness

Eva Longoria~
" Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past coud have been any different "

Uncle Mat Zaidi~
" Forgiveness is redha "

Arfah Alias~
" Forgiveness is accepting that everything (that has happened or will happen) telah tertulis di Luh Mahfuz (Qada' dan Qadar) and everything (good or bad) pasti ada hikmahnya. Allah SWT Maha Mengetahui "

What's ur take on forgiveness?

Allah's Gift

I noticed this posted on the wall of my mum's office (which has been vacant for a long time since someone prefers to stay at home with her grandchildren), hihi.

anyway, the poem goes like this:

Allah knows what's best for us
so why should we complain?
we always want the sunshine
but He knows there must be rain

We always want laughter
and the merriment of cheer
but our hearts will lose their tenderness
if we never shed a tear

Allah tests us often
with sufferings and with sorrow
He tests us not to punish us
but to help us meet tomorrow

For growing trees are strengthened
if they can withstand the storm
and the sharpness of the chisel
gave the marble its grace and form

Allah tests us often
and for every pain [He gives us]
provided we are patient
is followed by rich gain

So whenever we feel
that everything is wrong
it is just Allah's way
to make our spirit strong

unfortunately i can't trace the source of this masterpiece. but i gotta say, he/she did an awesome job!!!

Oh What a Day!

Mornings sekarang ni sooo gloomy, rase malas sgt3 nak gi keje. takde mood nak buat ape, tp i try to always look at the brighter side of things, things that we usually take for granted such as:

*waking up- u're alive! that's something to be thankful for
*being healthy- all of ur five senses are working
*arriving to work safe- all the scary junctions and traffic make me nervous ;p
*ur computer isn't in one of its stubborn/ mental moods
*the internet connection isn't all *&%^$# up

...and those are just a few of the cajillion things that we shud be thankful for.

anyway, i've got this list of quotes that Alhamdulillah helps me get thru situations that have dampened my spirits. they're from a book called "Life is an Open Secret" by Zabrina A. Bakar.

*Half Full or Half Empty? You Choose

~ You can complain because roses have thorns, or you can rejoice because thorns have roses ~ Ziggy

*Face Challenges with Zest

~ God turns us from one feeling to another ad teaches us by means of opposites, so that we have two wings to fly- not one ~ Rumi

~ So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, Verily, with the hardship, there is relief ~ (Ash-Sharh 94:5-6)

~ And your Lord said: ‘ Invoke Me [i.e. believe in My Oneness and ask Me for anything] I will respond to your (invocation)’ ~ (Ghafir 40:60)

~ Fighting (in Allah’s Cause) is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it, and 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 ~ (Al-Baqarah 2:216)

*Aim and Strive

~ If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl, but, by all means, keep moving ~ Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

~ Whoever works righteousness, man or woman, and has Faith, verily, to him will We give a new Life, a life that is good and pure and We will bestow on such their reward according to the best of their actions ~ (An-Nahl 16:97)

*Stay Steadfast

~ And verily, I am indeed Forgiving to him who repents, believes (in My Oneness, and associates none in worship with Me) and does righteous, good deeds, and then remains constant in doing them, (till his death) ~ (Taha 20:82)

*Say the Word and Do the Action

~ “Whoever, among you, sees something abominable, should rectify it with his hand; and if he has not strength enough to do it, then he should do it with his tongue; and if he has not strength enough to do it, (even) then he should (abhor it) from his heart, and that is the least of Faith” ~ Muslim

*Be Ready for Opportunities in Life

~ Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us daily ~ Sally Koch

~ But I admit, when one door closes, another opens. But we often look so regretfully upon the closed door that we don’t see the one that has opened for us ~ Helen Keller

* Be Persistent

~ It is never too late to become what you might have been ~ George Eliot

*Trust your Lord

~ Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength ~ Corrie Ten Boom
