Pathetic-ism

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


I have once felt so pathetic that life itself seems to have laughed at me. Nothing felt right, and everything felt so wrong. I feel that I will remain useless and of no benefit to others. I want to change, but I just can't and at the end of the day, I feel that I am so worthless that even changing myself would be pointless.

It is true that we tend to experience this sort of feeling but I guess we shouldn't ever let this feeling overwhelms us to a point that we do not want to better ourselves. I guess most of us have heard of this quote, "Even the devil do not give up, so why should we?"

If we feel so hard to perform the solah, always bear this in mind. The devil did only one thing and that have sent him to Hell forever. And yet we fail to sujood sometimes more than one time, so what does that makes us?

I believe even without telling, most of us knew about our glorious past. The Muslim's glorious past that is. Allah told us in the Quran, if I am not mistaken, that we were the best of nations. WERE being the choice of word. Why? Because the best of the Muslims was back in the era of the Prophet s.a.w. and his companions radhiallahu anhuma.

Back in the Twins of Faith event, we were told that to attain that sort of perfection was not impossible. They have shown us that they can do it but only through constant application. In other words, perseverance.

Islam is a religion of action, not a religion of words. We put words into actions and being a Muslim means we walk the talk. Islam is a religion of excellence and proficiency so how can we settle for 'average'?

InshaAllah, the feeling will pass, for we are human. Our imaan has its ups and downs. So the best we can do is to try to keep our heads above the water for as long as we can, but when it is the time when our imaan is down, perhaps we can use that time to reflect on how we have progressed up till now.

May we keep on striving to be the best of nations. Ameen.


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.

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 ...
