"Ya Rasulullah what are these gardens of Jannah"
"They are gatherings that remind us of Allah"

Just strive for it..

I was actually planning to comment this one on someones post..but it seems appropriate to be shared coz I know..even I go through hardships in life.

 Those who will strive in Our cause, We shall guide them to Our own paths, and surely Allah is with the righteous.
Al-Ankabuut 29:69

There, it is said that a person who exerts will exert for his own good. Here it is being reassured that Allah does not leave alone those who strive in His cause sincerely, even at the risk of a conflict with the entire world, but He helps and guides them and opens for them ways towards Himself. He teaches them at every step the way of winning His approval and good-will and He shows them the light at every turning point to discriminate between the Right Way and the wrong ways of life. In short, Allah helps and succors and guides them according to their sincerity and intensity of desire for goodness.

I'm Loosin It!!

Ya Allah, Please guide me...
Aid me...
Show me the way...

this day of rest shall be put to full use...insyaAllah..

Let It Go

Sutera Kasih - InTeam
Kian lama terpenjara
Mencari makna cinta
Dalam ungkap kata bersulam dusta

Bila gerbang rahmat terbuka
Menjelma cinta suci
Sehalus dan selembut sutera kasih

Terbentanglah tersingkap kebenaran
Terlerailah terbenam kepalsuan
Tuhan pada-Mu ada kedamaian

Diribaan-Mu kebahagiaan
Tiada lagi rasa kesangsian di hati
Cinta Mu cinta tulus suci murni
Kasih-Mu nan abadi

Bertautlah bercambahlah cinta
Mengharum dalam jiwa
Menemukan kerinduan syahdu
Pada yang Maha Esa

Sutera kasih membelai
Membalut kelukaan itu
Sutera kasih melambai
Mengisi kekosongan pengharapan

Rela pasrahkan kehidupan
Mengharungi cabaran
Rintangan perjalanan di hadapan

Doa dan titis air mata
Mendamba sutera kasih
Agar terus bersemi selamanya

There WILL be a time, in my life, when things get out of hands, out of plans, and in my heart, mountains are smashing, storms are brewing, and as i stagger around searching for aid, for hope, for reasons, for a peace of mind, for a replacement, for love, i find it there, with HIM.

Reviving the deceased

When discussing a matter of our hearts, I really think we should look deeply and carefully, because anyone could loose sight of creeping shadows while basking in bright light.

Then your hearts hardened after that, so that they were like rocks, rather worse in hardness; and surely there are some rocks from which streams burst forth, and surely there are some of them which split asunder so water issues out of them, and surely there are some of them which fall down for fear of Allah, and Allah is not at all heedless of what you do.
[Al-Baqarah 2:74]

Syeikh Ibrahim Adham stated, that symptoms of a dead heart is:
1. Admits one knows Allah, but neglects His orders.
2. Admits one loves Rasulullah PBUH, but abandons his sunnah.
3. Reads the Quran, but fails to apply the rules stated clearly in it.
4. Consumes each and every one of Allah's nikmah, but forgets to be grateful.
5. Admits that Syaitan are the arch-enemies, but fails to fend their temptations.
6. Admits there is Jannah, but never does 'amal for its sake.
7. Admits there is Naar, but never struggles to avoid it.
8. Admits that death is unpredictable and inevitable, but keeps saying 'I'm not ready'.
9. Absorbed in seeking other's 'aib, that forgets one's own.
10. Accompanies and buries a Muslim corpse, but could never contemplate the hikmah behind it.

According to Sheikh Ibni Athoillah Iskandari in his hikmah;
Other signs of a dead heart is that when one doesn't anguish for missing out in doing 'amal and doesn't regret when sins.

A heart dies because of three;
* Hubbul dunnia (love to the world)
* Neglects zikirullah (remembering Allah)
* Overeating and enslaving the body in doing maksiyyah to Allah

A heart lives because of three;
* Zuhud with the dunnia
* Zikrullah
* Befriend and be close to aulia Allah ('friends' of Allah)

So please take a close look at your heart..
Has it become that hard?
Has it become that dark?
Is it already dead?
