learn to let go with ease of those which are not lasting.

Assalamualaikum,

wow how much has time gone by... just makes more sense how temporary this world is, innit? (apehhh ter innit, innit) anyway yeah but insyaAllah, summertime has been exceptionally kind to me... well actually Allah has been exceptionally kind to me, despite the downs I have received since I came back, the ups insyaAllah and alhamdulillah are sufficient not to weigh me down :) wow so merciful kan our Rabb :')

it's just amazing you know, when you take some time to truly think about the outlook of your life since you entered this Earth. and start to acknowledge how wonderful the journey has been, despite some bitter we might have had to swallow along the road, how you have reached to the current path and then wow... seriously, how did I get here? and then it hits how Allah was the one who has been taking care of me all this time and it's MINDBLOWING. how can I neglect that feeling of love and care; the greatest one can ever give to me, one that is not capable by humans? subhanAllah. it's just really crazy amazing when we start realizing how much Allah has taken care of us... especially us who have led relatively easier lives compared to those in Palestine, Iraq, Rwanda, etc. Obviously it's not that Allah did not take care of them just because they led difficult lives, Allah is all the more Knowing so ofcourse we don't have definite answers but all we have to surrender is that we do not know anything except that He has willed us to know, and He knows everything. Even more so, Allah has plans for everyone and surrender more to the fact that He is the best planner of everything and what Allah has decided for each and every one of us is THE BEST OUTCOME, whether it's to our liking or otherwise. take comfort that whatever it is, Allah loves us all, He never harms us, it is ourselves who harm us. subhanAllah.. (check 2:216, 255)

alhamdulillah.. so today will be the last day of attachment, insyaAllah and i have to say that i walk out completely with different perspectives and feelings relative to my last post which was my first day :') it has been a really great experience, met really lovely people and just all around very incredible and sweet the whole thing has been. the working environment was different to what I have been previously exposed to and it's refreshing to be honest. it would have been pretty ideal and sweet and swell if all of us end up working at the same office nanti hehe , but I guess you just have to let some things go when it's time, right? insyaAllah. and insyaAllah this last day will do well also for all 13 of us :') may Allah bless us interns dunia Akhirat insyaAllah, ameen!

oh well praying for more productivity in the path of Allah of course and let us count our days to Ramadhan!!! wowowowow, mudahan Allah pertemukan kami dengan bulan yang paling siuk niiii ameen, insyaAllah. i can't wait for what presents Allah has in store for us this Ramadhan :'))) all praises be to Allah, indeed. all strengths and capabilities are derived from His might and nothing and absolutely nothing is from me :')

what this.. dear octopus has no auspice

Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters yang dirahmati Allah!

very the break my language are it not, the title, but i want to mime a rhyme wawawawa :p

*INSERT VIRTUAL SMILE* :)))))))

i know i'm not usually that chirpy virtual or non-virtual but smiling is definitely something we all need to do more, sunnah kali ahhhhhhhh. so i hope that you all are in a good state of iman and health, insyaAllah. and i know this place is beginning to seem dusty with the lack of updates or even substance, I have a lot of things that I want to write about for months, seriously, but somehow I don't have the articulateness to translate them into words yet. Indeed all my strengths come from my Creator, thus I am weak without my Rabb :) subhanAllah..

i'm starting work attachment today, in about two hours or so! eeeeeeeeeeeek. very i don't look forward to but kalau sudah Allah pilih ana untuk melaluinya, kena perbetulkan niat dan buat KERANA ALLAH first and foremost, insyaAllah. i very the needs to pep talk myself always so i can be in high spirits, mudahan antum semua juga dapat manfaat dari membacanya, insyaAllah. but i will very muchos miss free days and time to go meet friends :) subhanAllah, one of the BEST parts of my holiday. i cannot say it enough how mindblowing the past few weeks have been in a very simple way (despite the grandness that the word suggests).. sigh.. memang semua kurnia Allah.. masyaAllah, very syukur, insyaAllah..

also, in the spirit of... the end of the World Cup, can I just say that I hate the gung ho ness about the octopus? Astaghfirullah. insyaAllah, ana will not directly or indirectly write condescendingly. but I was horrified the second I heard about it, and then I was just sad. Kenapa boleh dunia gegar dengan seekor sotong yang tiada kena mengena dengan kerja Allah? Astaghfirullah. We cannot even have a dot of amazement at the fact that the octopus predicted rightly who was going to win the match. Jangan bro, jangan.. ingat.. REMEMBER... LIVE, BREATHE AND DIE LA ILAHA ILLA ALLAH. nikmatilah apa sebenarnya maknanya. I know it's not that people are worshipping the octopus tapi what's behind the message of actually being in awe of it and its "ability"? PERCAYA PADA ALLAH, bukan percaya pada sotong kan! semua datang dari Allah, tanamkanlah dalam-dalam yang hanya Allah yang maha mengetahui.. kitani termasuk sotong, parrot, giraffe dan sewaktu dengannya tidak mengetahui melainkan apa yang Dia kehendaki. Wallaua'lam. Ana afwan kalau ada yang tersalah bahasa, tapi ana harap message yang ana cuba sampaikan ana faham, bukan kerana sindiran atau to ridicule people but insyaAllah kerana peringatan buat semua ESPECIALLY DIRI ANA yang sungguh alpa dan lupa kerana dunia.

taking this from Ustaz Zaharuddin's facebook status:

Spain akhirnya menang Piala Dunia 1-0, terdetik mengharapkanya kalah kerana bimbang, ramai menjadi syirik dek kerana ramalan sotong. Saya juga tidak sokong Holland mengenangkan permainannya yang kotor dan kerajaan barunya dipimpin oleh parti ahli parlimen pereka filem Fitna, Gert Wilders yang membenci Islam.
