Almost a year has passed ever since I started my foundation studies.
Currently waiting for the results to be out which will approximately be by next week.
Please keep me & my friends in your prayers :)
Flying colours, bi iznillah.

So, putting that aside, it's been a while, hasn't it?
A year is a lot, I know. Through ups and downs & the roller-coaster rides..
No matter how I see it, I tend to smile at myself, looking back at all of the different situations Allah had put me in.
For everything that happens, there will always be a reason, yes? :)
I know.. Allah is Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahiim.
I know He is constantly listening. I know that in whichever situation I may be, He will never disappoint me by always being there. The Only One who truly understands me.
Sometimes I just have to take a moment to reflect,
What is it that I've done for Allah?
Despite all that He has presented me with, have I been a grateful servant?
And so, this 4-months vacation is a chance for me to improve myself, in so many ways.
I am His servant, full of imperfections.
But I know He has created His creations fairly. While I may have strength in some fields, they may be weaknesses to others. And so the other way around.
There is none other than Him that I turn to. No one else that I should thank beside Him. Allah, forgive me for my forgetfulness, my thoughtlessness. Please guide me to Your Siratul-Mustaqim. Despite the many mistakes that I made, do not take away this hidayah You've given me. Ya Muqallibal Qulub, thabbit qalbi 'ala deenik.
Maybe there are times we may forget, where we came from & where we will soon return.
Therefore, remind yourself this: Everything that I have, is from Him. Everything that makes me smile, is a form of gift from Him. Knowing that, doesn't it just want to make you smile? ^-^ Thus, pleasing Him is what we can do to be grateful. Rasulullah says, practice Islam in a way which you are capable of. Berdasarkan kemampuan masing-masing, lakukan ibadah hanya untuk-Nya.
*please bear in mind that this mostly implies on the Sunnah (like performing Solah like Solat Tahajjud, Solat Tasbih, Solat Tasbih). The compulsory (fardh'/wajib) ones are the ones we must never miss.
The important part is that, we do things little by little, but in consistence.
Do not force ourselves to do something out of the ordinary and not being able to continue the next day.
Improve, slowly. Step by step. Increase the Sunnahs daily with consistency. Allah knows you're trying, He will always help you ^-^ have faith.
In whichever way, we must remember these two while carrying out our Ibadah:
1. Our intention is purely for Allah. (but sometimes we have to 'pujuk' or gently ask our hearts to do it. Banyakkan berdoa. Ask for strength, ask for guidance. He will always give you the best.)
2. It must follow Syariah. (whatever it is that we decide to do, make sure it follows His laws. Insya Allah, He will ease our path.)

I hope these may have been helpful to those reading.
There may probably 'holes' here & there. To err is human, right?
Please forgive any mistakes made.
Thank you for reading. May Allah bless.
Here we go.

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.
