Love 03

Allah's Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said:
"If Allah loves someone He calls (angel) Jibreel and says: I love so-and-so, so you love him. Jibreel loves him, and calls the other angels in Heaven to love that person. They love him,then his love will be made upon earth, and he becomes loved. "And if Allah hates someone He calls Jibreel and says: I hate so-and-so and you hate him. Jibreel hates him and calls the angels in Heaven and says: Allah hates so-and-so, so you all hate him. They all hate him, and his hatred is made upon earthand he becomes hated." - Muslim


So here's it. The Finale.
And in this post i'll get straight to the point. No more flashbacks, no more stories, no more analogies, and surely no more floating points..

1) Why i began with a story about Yusuf as a kid, was because i wanted everyone to know that no matter how clean and perfect a person is, Allah will always test him/her with love, because thats what'll make him/her stronger.And that's why we're called human. But the story of yusuf as a kid  also shows how  a person  who's inexperienced and naive treats love. Desperate rite? So in other words, everyone'll encounter it, but if ur not ready, thats what'll happen.

2) There will always be tests. The stronger your principle, the stronger the test. Even if you think you're strong enough, Allah will always test you with something you could never expect..but whatever it is, if ur principles are firm, you'll still pass, and that if you say no such thing as couples except after marriage, then be firm with it, no matter what people say, no matter how hard a girl or guy attracts or 'seduces' you.
(if you don't understand this point, its ok, bcoz even i couldn't after rereading it)

3) Never ever try to start nothing when you know that it could become something. ???. What i meant is if you know that you have feelings for someone, don't even TRY to initiate contact. Sometimes we deliberately do so, whereas in our hearts we knew how it would eventually turn out...so be careful NEVER start.

4) Accept that whoever you are, you'll always fall for a person. Especially if you're a guy, coz guys are a bit more sensitive in these love issues...BUT when you do fall for someone, NEVER EVER cooperate with it..acknowledge it you must, but to flow with it you certainly MUSN'T. Don't tell her that you like her, don't tell your friend that you like her, don't even tell yourself that you like her...just keep it within, its your secret and no one should know..try to even get a few metres between yourself and her, it helps in calming the feelings, and in a week or so it'll be gone.

5) Believe me, that one can never intend to help the other gender, without existing in his heart the slightest false intention, and again, especially if ur a guy, the intentions could easily change...seriously, i'm a guy too.
So there's no such thing as trying to help him/her, or trying to guide him/her, without feeling something else..
Hey..there's always many other people of the same gender awaiting your aid, why even look at the other gender?? Unless....ehm..
You understand rite?

So thats all, what i tried to convey throughout these 3 sequels..
No, not that i am a person who despise love..(I am a romantic person myself..believe me..haha..)

But what i really wanted to say was, if you're really into it, if you really think you're ready, then go on, get to the marriage and don't linger anymore, because if you do, many unwanted things could happen..but be aware, that if u're marrying just because of love, then that love can fade, but if you marry because you love and it's then tied with iman, then trust me the iman shall prevail.

But if you think you know your time, and that you know when you're not ready yet, then be firm. And even if you find the one you've been looking for, but you're unable to tie the knot (and you know why yourself), then tell yourself to wait. Tell yourself that there's always Allah who knows all. Wait, and the time'll come even if you don't do anything or even if you do something. So why even try to do something if suddenly he/she doesn't finally become yours??

And whatever it is. Love Allah first, and He'll surely guide you and bless you for whatever love you seek.

Allah's Messenger, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam, said:
"If Allah loves someone He calls (angel) Jibreel and says: I love so-and-so, so you love him. Jibreel loves him, and calls the other angels in Heaven to love that person. They love him,then his love will be made upon earth, and he becomes loved. "And if Allah hates someone He calls Jibreel and says: I hate so-and-so and you hate him. Jibreel hates him and calls the angels in Heaven and says: Allah hates so-and-so, so you all hate him. They all hate him, and his hatred is made upon earthand he becomes hated."
Muslim

PS: Apologies for yet another long post..
PPS: The story of Yusuf in Love02 is fully based on incidents that occured around me. Though not all were of mine, but believe me, they all were true. So if you try rereading it, you'll maybe notice that you've gone through it too..??

I'm the boss. So now listen.

In his name, I begin 


Today something triggered in me, not some unleashed force like the jedi or Jinchuuriki force..but a certain strength that i've long lost. The strength to control.
Today i learnt back the lesson i forgot. That in becoming a muslim, it is you who gives the orders, it is you controls.

And alhamdulillah, today i implemented it.
Every morning, i forced myself to do it.
Every time i saw the Quran, i forced myself to read it.
Every day at 10.30, i forced myself to pray dhuha.
Every time i hear the azan, i forced myself to the masjid.
Every time after prayers, i forced myself to pray ba'diah.

Because I know.
If i waited, for the proper time, the proper mood, the proper intentions..
It would never come, and in the end i would just not do it.
And still wait..and wait..and wait..

Ikhlas??

Hey, ikhlas wouldn't exist if there was no enforcement. And Allah knows what plays in my heart..more than you do, even more than i do.

So be the boss of your heart.
And NEVER wait.
Coz believe me, the word waiting never ends.

For each (such person) there are (angels) in succession, before and behind him: They guard him by command of Allah. Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change it themselves (with their own souls). But when (once) Allah willeth a people's punishment, there can be no turning it back, nor will they find, besides Him, any to protect.
Ar-Ra'adu 13:11



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

To turn back and see

"I dunno, but somehow matters have lately come out of hand. I've been seeing many useless things, done many regretful actions and  waited too long for guidance..please help me.."

Every once and again, one must always turn back to see what one has done. If it is to be regretted, then regret it one must. If it is to be continued, then sustain and persevere it.

And so today, this post is about all that. Because today i found out that its been too long...really too long since i look backed.
Looked back at what??

My blog?
Yeah, its true, maybe lately i have been posting because of others, being happy that there are more followers, making my posts as interesting as it could, so that more are interested??
Yeah, maybe i have been too obsessed about it, ushering others to read it, making it as if it was the reason i made it, being proud when others commented, gleaming when people speak of it.
Yeah, maybe the word ikhlas has long not been questioned, because the word 'ujub has long taken control...

My heart?
Its true, maybe i have been giving it to others, showing affection to others, just too much, i put it in too many places, gave it to too many occupations, whereas to return it, to submit it, to bow it in front of You...i've totally forgotten...
Its true, i have been trying to attract others, making things or speaking of useless matters, with other intentions, just so that i could get more attention?
And and then i still could keep bragging about not getting Your love??

My prayers?
Though i pray five times a day..i keep telling myself it's enough, that i needn't do too much..but i forget, since when was Your blessings to me ever enough, since when did You ever stop..
Though i keep saying, my prayers, my ibadah, my life and my death are all for You,
Though i repeat so many times, that to You only i submit and to You only i ask for aid,
Though in every prostration i praise, that You are the highest and that there are non higher than You,
And though so many times,
Though so many times...
I still forget. And with every salam, it all ends. It is all over...
You are no more the one highest in my heart..
You are no more the place i submit, the One i ask for Aid..
You are no more the reason i live, the reason i would die..

So now i'm coming back to see..what i left behind..
And what i see is you, always there waiting for me..

Ya Allah, maybe i forgot who You are, maybe i forgot who i am. 
For these...are my words of regret. 
For these...are my words of repent. 
Ya Allah, Remind me, Forgive me, Bless me, Love me,
