The Syakirah Project : Day 5

  1. I don't know why but I was able to appreciate things that literally have been the background of my life since forever. I somehow was able to feel the gentleness of the afternoon wind blowing against the grass simply by taking some time to just watch it sway. This is quite a surprise. 
  2. I need to reconnect more. I found out that I take the people who genuinely care for me for granted. I need to change that. 
  3. I managed to move a large portion of my stuffs to my new house today. The feeling? 1/3 done. 
  4. My naqibah treated me my dinner today. Alhamdulillah. :) I also found out that it is not recommended to fast after nisfu Syaaban, except for Monday and Thursday, those who did nazar, or 'puasa ganti', or have been fasting since the beginning of Syaaban.
  5. I don't talk that much today. That itself is fantastic.

    I realize I never know my blessings until I lose it. A few days ago, I slipped on the stairs and hit the palm of my left hand very hard as I fell so I got a huge bruise. It hurt to move it and even something so simple as tying back my hair was extremely painful. Thankfully my hubby helped me, but I realized I never even took the time to realize the blessing of my own limbs. :( SubhanAllah.

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 ...

A letter for you

Date: 4th of September 2009 Assalamualaikum to my fellow sisters and brethrens, who will be one of the occupants in Jannah, insyaAllah. First of all, this is a letter that I composed to all viewers. A letter full of my real thoughts and dwellings, a letter of hope and pain, a letter of almost the truth. So here goes nothing. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim, Dear brothers and sisters, The thing that triggered me to write such a letter is a post, that I read on someone’s blog. It reminded me, well, of about everything . Every single thing that I worked for, every single thing that I fought for. Yes, my story had started long enough, ever since I was back in high school. 2007.... My friend was fasting. I felt excited because I tried fasting too and it’s in the fasting month, yes, I remembered it well. I followed my Muslim friends where I woke up early for sahur and break my fast at Maghrib. I was doing it because I thought it would be fun and why not, since I was dead eager to k...
