Through every tunnel, there will always be an end,
Through every darkness, there will always be light,
Through every sin, there will always be forgiveness,
All it needs is a little belief, 
Have faith in Allah my friend and you'll see it..

Ya Allah.Forgive me for my mistakes.Aid me with what I said.
For You are the Almighty

Making Choices

Today there was a talk about making choices. And the Ustaz said..
" When one chooses, he must be ready to reflect the effects of his choice. For every inch in life is about choosing. Even the hereafter is a choice."

So then i began thinking, what would i do if there was a time when i chose wrong??
Regret?
Cry for days?
Hope that time rewind?

Thats the problem with us humans, we keep thinking that a decision is done based on our intellects and knowledge, when in fact, we forget that every choice is actually organised and planned by Allah..
And will Allah ever burden a person with what he is unable to bear??
NEVER!!

" On no soul does Allah Place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. "
Al -Baqarah 2:286

So why are things so hard?

" So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief. Verily, with every difficulty there is relief. "
Al-Insyiraah 94:5-6

And in the next 2 verses Allah tells us that then we have to return to Allah, and give full attention. So things could never turn out that easy for us..Allah WILL test our patience in the choice that we made. Believe it or not, choosing isn't about deciding whats best for us, but its about being strong and firm with the choice, pushing aside all obstacles and persevering with  patience. 

"...And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out. And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine. And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is ((Allah)) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose: verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion."
At-Talaq 65:2-3

But then, keep in mind that sometimes if Allah wills, there is a chance to change your decision..but i apologise because the conditions and situations are never the same. And only one in the dilemma of a choice could understand.
WHATEVER IT IS..
TURN TO ALLAH, HE'S NEVER FAR AWAY..PUT YOUR TRUST IN HIM, RAISE YOUR HANDS AND PRAY..

Ya Allah.Forgive me for my mistakes.Aid me with what I said.For You are the Almighty

Fighting the Heart

There are times..when one just can't listen to the heart..times when it tells us to do things that we know is wrong.
So how to fight it?
Here's a tip..learn to hate..hate what it likes..if it is a person, then hate him/her..if it is a thing, hate it..if it is a behavior,hate it..
But don't show your hatred..just let your heart and yourself know..and InsyaAllah, by time, it'll work.

Just noticed that strength and consistency are 2 different things..
you could be really strong in heart...believe that you'll never repeat your mistakes..believe that you'll be able to prevent yourselves from every sin...believe that you'll be so strong..
but then still you'll never know whether it'll last..all those confidence, all those beliefs could be suddenly gone..
' poof ' just like that.
so its really consistency that matters..'istiqamah'. because if you have nothing much..but you can keep that much going on and on...insyaAllah..you'll never fall..
so no use of building up bundles of strength if you can't make it flow..istiqamah.insyaAllah.
Ya Allah grant me perseverance..

This Silence

I know...its long..no2, too long..since i posted something. and if u understand this post, you'll somehow understand why.
today im gonna discuss the characteristics of a tide...no i'm no civil engineer..or a man who's interested in collecting renewable source of energy (tidal energy, like the one in France)..but the thing that makes tides and ourselves similar is that it has its ups and downs...its strong and weak..
i mean..sometimes we can be so powerful, that even the hardest obstacle would be like a pebble on the road, if not crushed, easily kicked out of the way..
but then at other times we can be so feeble, that even the slightest problem would make us crumble down and fail..
again..i am not promoting a regular gym routine..because this certain strength matters much more than the physical strength. Its about something inside..
But its okay..alhamdulillah, its now okay..i was just needing a little
time..a lot of effort..and a short silence..
and of course..strength from non other than Him..Alhamdulillah..
