Just Say It

Ok, so i was strolling around the uni searching for a spot to pray, which fyi, is what i always do. Infact i've even allocated a specific area as my praying area in nearly all the buildings that i study in. (So UOW is now the uni with the most musolla's eh?)

And as i finally found a new spot, i suddenly remembered about what happened earlier that day when i was late to the group meeting, (which i am always every week) because i had to go and pray. What happened was, as i entered the room, i said;
"Hey, guys..sorry again for being late, i had to go pray."
 And they said;
"Yeah, its alrite, no worries"

Well, the first thing that i noticed was i actually mentioned 'i had to' rather than 'i wanted to'??
~hm, is prayer something i considered as a have to???Is it just something considered compulsory to me??
yeah, i know it is compulsory, but it also should've been something more. It was my charger, my refiller, the place to seek calmness, forgiveness, for me to nag, to ask, to complain..
EVERYTHING, and i still said i HAD to?

The truth is, that isn't what im trying to share now, that, up there, was just some bit of emotions expressed, but insyaAllah, prayers aren't what i have to do, but what i want to do...

The most important and major thing that i noticed was that i told the guys i went to pray, and they cared less. No, what i meant is they didn't care.
What im trying to say here is that:

"Why should we be afraid of saying that I AM A MUSLIM?"

The problem is, in the middle of a society, where everything is peaceful, no wars, no threat, why should we even hide it.
Where is our 'izzah?
The pride of being a muslim.
The pride of being humble servants of this true deen.

Because as long as on is unable to live wholly as a muslim, and have 'izzah in it, muslims will always be seen as the underdog.
So change our prospective, lets relive our true pride.
And next time, when someone comes up to you and asks;

Why waste nearly ten minutes of your life, five times a day?
Why sweat your head with the scarf?
Why even bother to get out of your bed, too early in the morning?
Why advice?
Why read the quran?
Whats with the halal food?
Why?

Just say it. Because I am a MUSLIM. Because i'm proud of it.

If you do not help your Prophet, (it does not matter): Allah did help him before when the disbelievers forced him to go away from his home, and he was but the second of two: when the two were in the cave; when he was saying to his Companion, "Be not distressed: indeed Allah is with us." Then Allah sent down peace of mind to him from Himself, and helped him with the forces you did not see, and made the word of the disbelievers abased. And Allah's Word is always supreme, for Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise. 

At-Taubah 9:40

Ya Allah, I pray for life with iman, death with iman,
and grant me Your jannah with this iman.

My brothers, lets move together (يا اخوتي هيا نمضي سويا)

 That the kuffar will attack and Muslim blood will be shed
because were obsessed with the dunya and abandon jihad
that we love this life, and we'd hate to be dead
 and until we return to our deen, this condition remains
that we stand humiliated until we rethink our aims
we are here to establish Islam on this earthso by the will of Allah!lets give Islam a rebirth! The Original Song with lyrics  Ya Allah.Forgive me for my mistakes.Aid me with what I said.

Some answers on Himmah

For hamba Allah..
but if anyone else is interested in reading..then hey..whats wrong in sharing knowledge rite??

As you asked earlier on, and as explained by bro Ammar Rafeeq, The highest thing that one can target is meeting Allah. I just want to add some bits..consider it an appetizer.

To strive for a cause  is the only reason why we live, yet if we aim to achieve a certain limited success such as straight A's in SPM, or 1st Class Honours Degree, or a professional engineer, then be acknowledged that there will always be a higher cause.
So..
IF we strive for this WORLD, then when we die, there's always the hereafter..
IF we strive for JANNAH, then we achieve it, there's always a higher place..
EVEN IF we strive for the highest place in JANNAH, then there's still the chance of meeting Allah..

BUT if we struggle for the sake of wanting to meet ALLAH, then when we do achieve it, surely we would ask of no more!!

And in living as a person who dreams of meeting Allah, would you think one would do things that Allah dislikes..
He would see sins like fearing enormous mountains..bcoz he knows Allah hates them
His would make prayers in every chance he has..bcoz he knows Allah listens to them
He would repent more than he breaths..bcoz he knows Allah forgives
He would praise Allah each time he speaks..bcoz he knows Allah let him praise
He would deeply love Allah more than anything else..bcoz he knows Allah loves him too..

Ya Allah for with what I say,

I pray show me the way

A night to think about

Last night was a really long night.
I read something about thinking..

it wasn't actually about the general brain juicing activity, but more to the meaning of contemplating, analysing type of think.
And it really did get me thinking.
I thought about life, i thought about death
I thought about my sins and my deeds
I thought about which was better, and which was more..
Then i thought about
what i've done, and what i'll be doing..
what i've said and what i'll be saying..
what i've seen and what i want to see..
and finally i asked myself,
what have i achieved in life??
and what really do i want to achieve..

And Alhamdulillah, a few things were straightened out...
You really should try it, STOP and THINK..


Ya Allah.Forgive me for my mistakes.Aid me with what I said.
