But She's Different

But She’s Different

Seeing her being likeable by all people in her circle, hearing good things (almost on everything!) about her from every people who knows her, with her personality who always seems to be happy and making people around her happy with her presence- makes you wonder, “Who is this girl?”

Glaring at her once, you might say, “She seems normal, just like other ordinary Muslim women.” She prays five times a day, just like others. Ok, her hijab- she wears proper hijab; loose and modest clothing, she covers herself well, just like many others. Her friends- She seems to be making friends with everyone, not a big deal! But after spending more time with her, you came to learn more about her. You came to learn one beautiful thing about her which distinguishes her from other ordinary Muslim girls- HER AKHLAQ. It’s her beautiful manners that make her different. It’s her beautiful heart, beautiful soul- attract you most. You have met many Muslim women but she’s different...

She’s always happy. And she makes you feel happy too. You wonder why. Why you feel different in her company? Why do you feel so peaceful and tranquil being in her presence? Now you understand why. She may seem to be ordinary on the outside, but from the inside she is extraordinary. She’s a girl who tastes the joy of faith.  True indeed, “Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest...” (Ar-Ra’d:28)

She observes her duties as a believing woman to her Lord well. So does her towards HIS creations. She’s kind, nice, friendly and generous to all her sisters. She observes her speech- she tries best not to lie even when she’s joking nor she backbites. She speaks nothing except what’s good and beneficial. She observes her actions- not to be hasty nor does she want to act foolishly. She thinks wisely before acts. Then you realize, every single moment you spend with her increase you in knowledge, good deeds and most importantly- your faith. Above all these, you learn that the only thing which drives her to be as such is only one simple concern: “Is Allah pleased with me? Is Allah happy with me?”

Now you wonder why you can’t be like her.
Ukhty, you have the answer.

Yes you can. All you have to do is just start being one. Set the right intention-to please Allah alone. Then strive to do things (in your utmost capability) which please Allah most. Know this: what pleases Allah will please others whom HE is pleased with as they are pleasing HIM too...

So start today. Don’t delay...
May Allah be your best Supporter and best Companion, assisting you to be different and better than yesterday, inshaAllah? Yes. InshaAllah... InshaAllah...

Till we meet again. Wassalamu'alaykum...

It's Tough Being a Girl - Khalid Latif

Bismillah..

A video that brought me to tears.

I couldn't believe there're such issues still in existence??

SubhanAllah.

May Allah grant us hidayah to understand what's Haq and what's Batil and tawfiq to practice upon our knowledge with perseverence and patience. Amin.

Muslim women need to empower their knowledge on deen..

Few disappointing stories he shared on how men should stop 'oppressing' their women.

Good advice and solutions he gave to these men and the society as a whole to correct this problem of (some) muslim men who don't seem to understand what Islam really wants for the muslim women.

You can choose to be the evidence for those negatively stereotyping made upon islam oppressing women or prove that Islam had nothing to do with what-so-ever confusion you have made upon your practice of your false understanding of Islam.

How? Learn your deen and practice what you learned. Act upon the profound knowledge-based on the teachings of the Quran and as-Sunnah..

Choose one. Take latter, not the former.

WATCH.

Wassalamu'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh..

"Story of the parents of a scholar" - MUST LISTEN

"I was MUTE because i do not speak any forbidden word,

and i have never spoken to a man who is not lawful to me..

I am indeed deaf in the sense that i have never sat in a gathering in which there is backbiting, slander, or false and vain speech..

And i am blind in the sense that i have never looked upon a man who is not permissible for me.."

Taaruf with Our New BFFLH!

Bismillah..

Assalamu'alaykum!

I've shared a post here last time on few ideas how to be close to Al-Quran.

Have just created a Hifdh Chart which seems to be more suitable to sisters than to brothers so i'm sharing it with you in this blog.

Click here for the BFFLH Chart.

Best viewed with Microsoft Words-the pdf format changed lots of my format :(

Sorry that it may not be pretty enough for you. This is the best i could do. Made it for myself but simply sharing with you as all i want is the 'ajr(reward) from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, if it benefits you in any way! (hope so it will... InshaAllah...)

Always remember me in your du'a..

Wassalam~

Bible in ARABIC?

Bismillah..

ASsalamu'alaykum..

Miracles do happen as nothing could stop Allah in making them happen..

Read a story from FB, it made me questioned my sincerety in this path of learning Islam, improving myself to a better muslima today than days before-what have i done so far?

Hm.. Good question to ponder upon.

Allahu yahdina

...................................................................................

The following incident has been narrated by Colonel Amir Uddin who originally heard it from his wife. Colonel Amir Uddin is a well known caller to Islam through whose effort over 6,000 people have accepted Islam all over the world. He is 86 years old and have been to over 56 countries to call people towards Allah.

During one such journeys to invite people to Islam, his wife met a woman who was a new Muslim. While travelling, they came to know how she became a Muslim. The woman said that she was originally a Christian but her husband was a Muslim. Her husband used to tell her about the oneness of God everyday. One day while she was in the Church, she asked the Priest whether the Muslims' cocept of oneness of God was correct or the Christians' concept of Trinity was correct. The Priest told her that the Muslims are correct and he also advised her to keep this matter secret. She became very confused after hearing this. At night when she went home, she prayed to God to show her which path was the truth. She started reading the Bible thoroughly to search for answers. One night after she prayed to God to show her the truth, she opened the Bible and to her amazement, the entire Bible appeared to her as Arabic text! She mentioned this to an Imam who told her that this was a sign from Allah to accept the Quran as her guidance instead of the Bible. She became Muslim there and then.

Dear readers, such incidents are nothing new. These incidents happen on a daily basis to those who are searching for the truth. We did not come to this world with our own will. We will not leave this world with our own will. Then why live this life according to our own will? A Muslim is that person who submits to the will of Allah. Let us all submit to Allah, Who is the Lord of

everything in and out of this universe.

"And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers." (Al Quran, 3:85)

When I Told You Not To..

When i told you not to take off your hijab,

I wasn't trying to prove

that i'm way better than you.

When i told you not to take off your hijab,

I understood how you felt,it has never been easy,

to hold on to your believe,

just as how you wanted to.

When i told you not to take off your hijab,

i wasn't ignoring you,

and all the trials HE has put you thru'..

How could you take off you hijab,

it's HIS order to obey and you need to,

when all that He wanted,

was just the best for you?

You're beatiful, i know..

And do you really need people to tell you so?

You think HE's cruel and injustice, to give you this precious gift

then not letting you to show?

When i told you not to take off your hijab,

i was just reminding you of HIM,

of our loving LORD,Who creates you beautifully,

and Who just want to preserve your beauty.

You know it's hijab to secure your beauty,I know you feel guilty

so why would you want to take it off, honey?

You'll never win this game,

which you called "please-people' you're playing..

It's Allah ALONE you're pleasing..

So care not what they say,

no worries, let them walk away.

When i told you not to take off your hijab,

i was just being concern,

wanting the best for you,

because i do care and i do love you..
