 بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

Persinggahan ini sebentar cuma. 

Ada tujuan, ada panduannya. 

Tersurat sedia buat tiap jiwa.

Rezeki ada di mana - mana.

Maka, pungutlah. 

Destinasi itu di hujung sana. 

Kalah menang itu lumrah.

Hati itu ingin pulang ke taman-Nya. 

Bawa fitrahmu bersama.

Maka, bersegeralah. 

Berlumba mencari chenta-Nya. 

Genggam rindu-Nya. 

Sakit? 

Apa bukti kau bilang kau chenta andai tidak diuji sebegini rupa?

Kerna tiada makna apa yang ada andai chenta-Nya tiada bersama.

'Be in the world as if you were a stranger or a traveller along the path.'

(HR Al Bukhari)

Ini, definisi bahagia dia.

wildflower.

She's faced the hardest times you could imagine

And many times her eyes fought back the tears

And when her youthful world was about to fall in

Each time her slender shoulders bore the weight of all her fears

And a sorrow no one hears

Still rings in midnight silence, in her ears

Let her cry, for she's a lady

Let her dream, she's a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

And if by chance that I should hold her

Let me hold her for a time

And if allowed just one possession

I would take her in my arms, to be mine

Be careful how you touch her, she'll awaken

As sleep's the only freedom that she knows

And when you walk into her eyes, you won't believe

The way she's always paying for a debt she never owes

And a silent wind still blows

That only she can hear, so she goes

Let her cry, for she's a lady

Let her dream, she's a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower, growing wild

Let her cry, oh, she's a lady

Let her dream, 'cause she's a child

Let the rain fall down upon her

She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

She's a flower growing wild, she's a flower growing wild

-never push a loyal person to the point where they no longer care.-

so the heart can't express?

-بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

dear butterfly, 

butterfly fly away please.

when the right time comes.

so let go. 

If your heart is with Allah, nobody could break it.

Pray.

Because Allah always listens. 

Always.

Give your wish to Him, and then forget. 
And know that He does not forget.

tears are words the heart can't express.

the quest offshore!

-بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

a couple weeks back. 
3 months as it was.

45 minutes from the clinic.

30 minutes from this bridge.

this 750 meters bridge. 

Behold, Pamaguan!

this is where it all begins.

there, they're waiting.

the journey begun there and then.

the sun shines brightly, the wind blew softly drifting the memories way away.

let the love flows baby~

3 hours on the road ( err.. road?) then off somewhere again.

visiting from house to house, greeting and meeting the villagers.

frankly, it was exhilarating being with them.

still is.

the excited looks of the children here waiting to be sent home after-school. 

all ready to go. home, of course!

now isn't this the sweetest goodbye?

indeed, absence do makes the heart grow fonder. 

be kind!

-بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

kindness is a mark of faith and whoever is not kind has no faith. 

(narrated by Muslim)

better to have a heart without words than words without a heart

loud & clear!

-بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

sometimes, 

it's best to stay quiet.

the silence can speak volume without ever saying a word.

life is a balance of holding on and letting go.

they don't know!

-بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

let the world speak. 

they don't know much.

He knows better, you know that right?

That moment when the emotion is too intense that no words could express it, and all you could say is, "Allah."

Because only He knows.

"But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not."

[Al Baqarah: 216]

It is not the load that is bothering you, it's the way you are carrying it.

yet to be!

-بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

There's a time for words, and a time for silence. If you're listening, surely you'll hear the difference.

Some souls just take a longer journey to end up with the one they always belonged with.

Broken things can become blessed things,

if you let God do the mending.

this life scatters us to the point that only Allah can join.

Too loud for words,
yet too shy for the world.

something bout you!

-بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

Baby if they ask me

I would say I don't even know your name,

and when they ask me,

does it change?

"no, it don't change a thing".

'cause it's something about the way you love me

and it's something about the way you know me

that I can't explain enough..

‎"Pain reminds us we're alive - Love reminds us why."

necessary is it not?

-بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

You will find that it is necessary to let things go; simply for the reason that they are heavy. So let them go, let go of them.

-Man cannot discover new oceans, unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.-

neither nor_

-بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

it is neither mine to hold nor mine to keep.

show me how to carry on when its wound is indeed very deep.

in the heart,

there is hardness which can only be softened by remembrance of Allah.

-crying shows that your heart is not cold. if you can not cry, then cry because you can not.-

nothing without?

-بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

love is nothing without action.

trust is nothing without proof.

regret is nothing without change. 

- if my life is for rent, I don't learn to buy.-

addicted!

-بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

i feel addicted to Your light.

burning through the darkest night.

When you're searching for the light

And you see no hope in sight

Be sure and have no doubt

He's always close to you

He's the one who knows you best

He knows what's in your heart

You'll find your peace at last

If you just have faith in Him

-if you put Allah first, you will never be the last.-

THE purpose?

-بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

a spark of determination, 

a blink of hope, 

a sense of light,

one that brings me closer to Allah. 

i'm praying for that.

no excuses,

no lies,

no broken promises.

Even the biggest of hardships is a blessing if it brings you closer to Allah.

There is nothing wrong with making duaa for 'worldly' things as long as they are halal. The problem is when we confuse the tool (everything created) and the goal (Allah). Even when we get or use 'worldly' things, their ultimate intended purpose is to aid us in our journey to our End: Allah. Instead we use Allah to aid us in our journey to worldly things.

Yasmin Mogahed.

-between the beginning and the end is the purpose.-

grow up, pls.

بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

sometimes, we need to be hurt in order to grow. we must lose in order to gain. sometimes, some lessons are learned best through pain.

-every second is a chance to turn your life around.-

be true, stay true!

بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

think making promises is one hard work?

try being true to them. 

what doesn't challenge us, will not change us.

the greatest jihad is to battle against one own selves' desires.

".... But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.”

[QS Al-Baqarah 2:216]

-the best way to be able to forgive someone is to make a sincere du'a for them.-

walk the talk!

بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

how can one find peace in disobedience to God?

The signs of a hypocrite are three:

1. as he speaks he lies

2. on making a promise he breaks it

3. when charged with a trust he deceives.

reported by Abu Hurairah-

walk the talk. 

-when blinded desire pushed you forward, let reasoned faith hold you back.-

stronger than ever!

بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

‎"If being ‘in love’ means our lives are in pieces and we are completely broken, miserable, utterly consumed, hardly able to function, and willing to sacrifice everything, chances are it’s not love. Despite what we are taught in popular culture, true love is not supposed to make us like drug addicts."

‘If you feel no shame, then do as you wish’.” 

[Al-Bukhârî]

-A calamity that makes you turn to Allah is better for you than a blessing which makes you forget the remembrance of Allah.-

kill them with kindness!

 بِسْــــــــــــــــــمِ ﷲِالرَّحْمَنِ اارَّحِيم

"Do not think little of anything which is right, even just showing your brother a cheerful face."
narrated by Muslim

-be kind, for everyone is fighting a hard battle of their own-
