Fail

In the name of Allah,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful,
Praise be to Allah,
the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds,
and Peace and Prayer be upon the Final Prophet and Messenger. Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Quran


For those who have known me, well, personally, you will know that I am a repeat Dental student. Though repeating first year is quite common in medical school/dental school, one could not help but feel like a bottom billion when getting an F for a result.

Last year, I have 3 continuous assessments in which I failed in each one of them and I also failed my Professional 1 which is the finals for first year.

Yes, I have failed.

So, since this September, I have been a first year Dental student all over again and I just came to know of my result for my previous 1st continuous assessment just today. And I passed. With a B.

For someone who have been down in the dumps for almost 3 years, I couldn’t help but feel that my time to rise has finally come. For a student who have always failed and was the bottom of the class last year, this is an achievement.

Well, at least for me.

InshaAllah, I will continue to increase my grade and finally enter 2nd year. Ameen.



Still a long way to go but yeah, like they say, “Failing once does not mean that you will fail forever.”

And I failed 4 times, and finally, I made it, but only through perseverance of course.

After all, how can we depend on Allah if we didn’t even make an effort to try to change our state?

InshaAllah things will just get better and better. With things like issues with my dad etc, I won’t let it anchor me to the ground like it did me last year.

Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah thummal Alhamdulillah.

Syukran jiddan ‘ala du’a and may Allah bless each and everyone of us.

Salam alaik and peace out. 





We must hurt in order to grow, fail in order to know, & lose in order to gain. Because some lessons in life, are best learnt through pain.

    The result that you get from F to B is not good enough but it was a fantastic result :) For me , you are not a failure but you are a warrior. Keep it up &hold it tight, grab it nicely & raise your effort limit as higher as you heart grabbing Islam. I'm sure that you will success and finish your dentist study. ( Dad will always be your dad & mom will always be your mom) ..for sure . Dont bother about that , just concentrate your study . May God bless you & hope God will always upon by your side :')

A revert's thoughts on LGBTQ

First of all, what does LGBTQ stands for?  L = lesbian G = gay B = bisexual T = transgender Q = queer I am pretty sure everyone's familiar with the first 4 sexual orientation but what about the last one? Queers are people who are not sure of their own sexual identity.  So what does it mean to belong to the 5 sexual orientation? Let's just assume I am secretly a lesbian. So how would you react to that?  Do you judge me?  Or do you accept me as I am? I got married with a man and have 2 kids as a result of the marriage, there's nothing wrong with that isn't it? I am doing nothing wrong despite having an against the fitrah inclination towards the same sex.  It will only become wrong if they chose to act on their sexual orientation.  They claim that the sexual orientation is a result of nature and nothing can be done to change it. Like in a transgender's case, they think that "God made a mistake and switched their ge...

My dad's turn

because ALLAH is with me.... Earlier today i was shocked by a text message sent to me from one of my aunt from my dad's side. "Why didn't you tell me that you've become a Muslim? Sampai hati tak bagitau, bukan perkara tak baik pun." This raised a question mark in my head. Who told her? She's a Muslim by the way. Then onwards, after a few exchanging text messages, i finally come to a realization. I have to tell my dad before he found out from someone else. That would be worst. So, i started to type on my cellphone. "Daddy, i've become a Muslim. Ever since i'm at KTT. I am telling you via sms so that you will be clear of why i am doing this and so that you will not hear this from other people who might exaggerate the story. I didn't become a Muslim because i have a boyfriend. Not because i was influenced by my friends. And also not because i wanted to join PAS. But because i have taken interest in Islam ever since i'm at...

Mummy

Finally, after 1 and a half years(maybe more), the truth is out. I confessed to my mum about me being a Muslim. When I first told her, she was upset and angry. She asked me: Who influenced you into being one? Did u have a boyfriend? Who converted you? Did you know that it’s a big sin to convert when you are already baptized?! I was silent all the while she was bombarding me with her questions but Alhamdulillah, I feel calm and unmoved. I didn’t feel guilty at all. So I told her, Mummy, nobody forced me to become one. No, that is not the reason I become a Muslim. Do you notice that I’ve become more closer to you since past one and a half years?  And my mum said yes, you’ve become better but still… Then I said, it is because of Islam that I changed from my old ways. I used to yell at you but since I became a Muslim, I learned how to be better, to appreciate my parents better. And then she said something I expected she would say. No wonder you didn’t pass your ...
