Cintaqwa

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

Taken from an article on iluvislam.com.,

Saidina Umar r.a. pernah bertanya kepada seorang sahabat yang lain bernama Ubai bin Ka'ab r.a. makna taqwa. Lalu Ubai bertanya kepada Umar :
"Adakah engkau pernah melalui satu jalan yang berduri?
Jawab Umar: "Ya".
Tanya Ubai lagi: "Apakah yang kamu lakukan untuk melalui jalan tersebut?".
Jawab Umar : "Aku melangkah dengan waspada dan berhati-hati".
Balas Ubai : "Itulah yang dikatakan taqwa". 

Taqwa.

To feel as if you are treading a path full of thorns, what a perfect way to describe the feeling of taqwa.

Reading the Quran, we have always deemed ourselves as people who will attain Jannah, people who will get everything that Allah offers to those Allah addressed as 'muttaqun'(people of taqwa), or 'mu'minun'(people of iman).

Para sahabat dulu pun, walaupun ada dah terjamin masuk Syurga pun masih ada yang rasa tak confirm. Kita?

Umar bin Al Khattab berkata :

Hisablah dirimu sebelum dihisab, dan timbanglah sebelum ia ditimbang, bila itu lebih mudah bagi kalian dihari hisab kelak untuk menghisab dirimu dihari ini, dan berhiaslah kalian untuk pertemuan akbar, pada saat amalan dipamerkan dan tidak sedikitpun yang dapat tersembunyi dari kalian.

I think ni kira macam salah satu langkah untuk saya cuba untuk meraih rasa taqwa tu. Of course, bila menghisab diri sendiri, akan sah-sah rasa macam dah banyak buat dosa. Even though bukan dosa besar, tapi salah is still salah, no matter how small.

Tadi terjumpa ayat ni. Terus rasa macam kena shot, tepat pada hati yang dah nyawa-nyawa ikan ni.


Al-Baqarah: ,

94  Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad kepada kaum Yahudi): Kalau Syurga negeri akhirat itu telah menjadi hak istimewa untuk kamu pada sisi hukum Allah, tidak boleh dicampuri oleh orang-orang lain (seperti yang kamu dakwakan itu), maka cita-citakanlah mati (supaya kamu dimatikan sekarang juga), jika betul kamu orang-orang yang benar.

95 Dan sudah tentu mereka tidak akan mencita-citakan mati itu selama-lamanya, dengan sebab dosa-dosa yang telah mereka lakukan dan Allah sentiasa mengetahui akan orang-orang yang zalim itu.

Kalau nak mati sekarang adakah rasa cukup ready? Mesti akan start runsing sebab fikir berapa banyak dah bermaksiat kepada Allah, sebab hakikatnya Syurga tu memang susah nak dapat. Yelah, benda mahal, takkan la senang-senang je nak bagi? Mestila ada pengorbanan. Mesti akan ada ujian. Then bila diuji mengeluh, tapi Syurga nak pulak?

Harapnya hati ni makin lama makin mendekati keikhlasan.

We have to believe He does."

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 ...
