It's been a while. Currently on my third week of the last semester. That means more concentrating, less concerning myself with things that do not benefit me. *please pray for me.
I have probably said this way too many times, but a lot has happened.
I guess that's just how life is. Even a second could change things, imagine days and months.
Alhamdulillah, maybe the position that Allah has put me in right now is for me to learn more, to experience more, to appreciate the life He has given to me more and to become a better servant, insya Allah.
As I am writing this, I am afraid that the things that I have said in the past throughout the years of my life, I haven't fully fulfilled yet. I read this once:
''Seorang lelaki telah dihumban ke Neraka pada Hari Kiamat, terkeluar ususnya dan dia berputar dalam Neraka seperti seekor keldai berputar mengelilingi pengisar gandum dalam kandang. Ahli Neraka mengerumuninya dan mereka bertanya: Hai kamu! Apa yang telah terjadi kepadamu? Bukankah kamu dahulu menyuruh manusia melakukan kebaikan dan menegah manusia daripada melakukan perkara mungkar? Dia menjawab: Memang benar. Aku telah menyuruh orang melakukan kebaikan tetapi aku (sendiri) meninggalkannya dan aku menegah manusia dari melakukan perkara mungkar sedangkan aku melakukannya''. (H.R. Muslim)
To advise people as well as apply it to myself, that is what I try to do everyday. And like everyone else, it's not easy. Even a sister once told me,
"Now that I have advised you on something, I have to be more careful of my own actions."
Because it's true. This is one step towards improving oneself. You apply what you advise.
I hope I am forgiven and I apologize for the things that I have said that I would do but I didn't.
I'm still learning. I really am.
Many may see me as someone else, but truly, I need guidance just as much as everyone else.
I wish I could be more creative in advising others, because while telling the truth, I would like to comfort too.
Isn't that amazing? Having the ability to tell people the truth while comforting them at the same time.
I guess it all takes steps. Because that was the way Rasulullah did it. He knew the people who came to him, they've sinned, but he showed them and told them that Allah's mercy is faaaaaar greater than their sin. So one must not give up in seeking repentance from Allah.
May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad always. Amiin :')

I know I'm not there through the toughest times, I don't know which way would be the best to comfort you,
But I really wish that I could.
I may not understand your pain,
But I hope you open up your mind and your heart,
That the people in this world,
They aren't always going to be the same,
They would not be what we expect them to be.
I pray and I really pray,
Allah lead you to the happiness that you deserve.
I know you have a good heart.
I know you're trying your best being His faithful servant,
And for that ukhti,
Someday, for sure,
You will find that happiness.
You just gotta hold on.
Hold on tight and always have faith.
I know it's easier said than done.
But if you really really believe,
It would surely happen.
Allah would not burden His servants with no more than they can bear, right?
So please, do not force yourself. Just let it all go.
We're humans, we fall. There's nothing wrong with that.
But once we fall, we must remember to get back up.
I guess it just wasn't me Allah chose to be the one changing your mind. Or maybe it's just me who's not trying hard enough. I hope Allah present me with the strength to do what's right.
May Allah bless you always ukhti :')
It wasn't me.

There's more than what meets the eyes.
A servant of Allah ♥
The world is full of fallacy and yet we often fall for it. "Keep on believing; never lose hope in Allah's rahmah for He has knowledge of things that you have no knowledge of."
"Death is an unexpected and unpredictable thing. Allah SWT had mentioned in the Quran that every soul shall taste death. When every next moment could be our last, what have we done today that could guarantee our entrance to Jannah in the Akhira?"
"When it may seem like no one understands, believe.
When it may seem like it's too hard to bear, believe.
When you feel as though you're all alone, believe.
Believe, because no one understands you better than the Almighty Creator. Believe, because Allah will provide you strength and does not tests you unless He knows that you could bear it. Believe, because Allah has always been there with you, every step of the way. So don't ever give up hope, don't ever give in to the dunya, don't let anyone stop you from staying in the straight path because 'Innallaha ma'as sobireen.'
Keep on believing." ;]
Reminder
Whatever it is that you chose to do in your life, lead it where Allah pleases.
Dare to dream big.
Always have hope in Allah, He'll never disappoint you :)
May Allah always provide us with strength to strive for His Jannah in this world for an everlasting happiness in the akhira. Amiin.
