I'll be travelling in a few hours from now but I decided to spend a little time writing.
I'm sure some of us are familiar with the above verses. They are from Surah At-Talaq, Verse 2-3.
In Malay we call it, "Ayat 100 Dinar."
I do wish you understand the meaning of the above verses.
It's simply beautiful :)
"...And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out. And He will provide him from where he does not expect. And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him. Indeed, Allah will accomplish His purpose. Allah has already set everything a [decreed] extent."
There comes a time in our lives that we are tested. And those are the times where we are reminded just how much we are in need of Allah in our lives.
There are also times when we feel like all hopes are lost, and there's nowhere to turn to, but lucky are those who believe in Allah.
And that's the reason why, when we ask from Allah, BELIEVE He will answer.
No matter how impossible something may seem, with His help, all is well, yes? :)
The answers may not come in the form that we expect them to, but they come in the form of His love sent especially for us.
Allah will give you the best when the time is right.
We may feel as though the things happening to us are leading us nowhere, but with the belief that Allah will give us the best, insya Allah soon enough He'll show us the way.
There's an interesting story that I'd like to share. May Allah bless the one who shared this story with us during our "happy circle".
If I was not mistaken, it was the time of Imam Ahmad Hanbal (please correct me if I'm wrong). He was sent to prison for what he believed in and when he was released, he wanted to offer His salah (prayers) at the mosque but was not welcomed by the men and had to find other places to offer His salah.
And so as he walked in the city, searching, he acquainted with a bread-maker, whom with politeness & not knowing who Imam Ahmad Hanbal really was, offered his home as a place for the Imam to offer his salah.
After performing his prayers, Imam Ahmad Hanbal was watching the bread-maker and intrigued by the fact that his lips were constantly praising Allah with zikrullah.
And out of curiosity, Imam Ahmad asked,
"Tell me, what have you obtained from saying zikrullah all the time."
The bread-maker smiled and said,
"There hasn't been a prayer of mine that was not answered except one by Allah."
And so Imam Ahmad asked,
"What is it?"
"I wish to meet Imam Ahmad Hanbal someday." was the bread-maker's reply.
And thus, we know from the story how ALL of his prayers & wishes has been granted by Allah, in ways that he would have never expected.
That's why Iman is faith. We may not be able to see it, but it can be one of the strongest thing we have in ourselves, that we can try to improve for His sake.
We're all trying. We all make mistakes.
But don't ever lose hope in Allah.
Therefore ask, for He is constantly listening.
And believe that He will answer.
Please pray that we'll all be given strength by Allah.
Please also pray my journey will be eased tomorrow.
May Allah bless.
When you believe.

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.
