Love

Assalamualaikum wbt dear blog readers,
May peace be upon you :)

Allah says of such people:
"And yet, among the people are those who take other than Allah as equals to Him. They love them as they should love Allah. But those who believe are stronger in love for Allah" (2:165)

Once in a while, people enter your life. Not for what they give you - but for what they are. The beauty you see in them is a reflection of the Creator, so you love them.

Suddenly, it isn't about what you are getting, but rather what you give. This is unselfish love.

Once you begin to see everything beautiful as only a reflection of God's beauty, you will learn to love in the right way; for His sake.

Everything and everyone you love will be for, through and because of Him.

So what you hold onto will no longer be just unstable feeling, a fleeting emotion. And what you chase will no longer be just a temporary high.

It will be the only thing stable and constant. it will be God. It will be for Him. Not for your nafs.

This means you will love what He loves and not love what He does not love.

Your love will be by Him, for Him and because of Him. That is the liberation of the self from servitude to any created thing.

And that is freedom.
That is happiness.

That is love.

Quoted from the book Reclaim your heart by Sister Yasmin Mogahed.

A beautiful reminder indeed :)

To love is to need, to be dependent, to have expectations - all the ingredients for misery and dissapointment. But if it is true love that you seek, seek it through God.

Dearself, you will find it one day.
In shaa Allah.

Till then, have  a good year ahead!

Rasa

Seketika,

Aku terleka.

Dibuai rasa indahnya dunia. 

Hampir aku lupa kehidupan yg sementara.

Marah sedih kecewa tak kekal lama

Ruginya kita yg sering berduka. 

Bahagia derita silih berganti

Tanda kekuatan diri diuji

Now

Assalamualaikum wbt dear blog readers,
May peace be upon you.

Dah lama dah nak tulis mcm macam dalam blog ni tapi tak berkesempatan and kadang-kadang rasa perlu atau tak utk coretkan kat sini. Thats why sometimes i end up tak update my blog.

Hows your raya?

Mine was good Alhamdulillah. Was just a bit nervous since my result is coming out next monday. Pray for me. Mudah mudahan lulus kedua-duanya.

Here's a few picture of my raya

Alhamdulillah to be given a chance to meet ramadhan and syawal again this year and to be able to celebrate the memorable eid with my beloved family and friends. Semoga segala amalan yg kita laksanakan semasa bulan Ramadhan diterima Allah dan semoga kita dipanjangkan usia utk bertemu dgn ramadhan pada tahun hadapan. 

During ramadhan i have made a lot of doa to Allah and i hope He heard all my prayers. Tho, i might not be His best servant but I know He will always give the best for me. No doubt. 

I miss Ramadhan. 

But Ramadhan is not my Rabb

Allah is my Rabb. 

Ramadhan has gone but Allah will forever be with me.

So do not despair, He will always be there

Cerita si penjual carpet

This is a story about the carpet seller.

Today i went to a shop with my aunt. She said she is looking for a new carpet for her living room. So, we dropped by a carpet shop near Arab Street. MashaAllah the carpets are all beautiful. It is made and imported from various country including Turkey, Afghanistan, Belgium and etc. Some of the carpets are made from silk and the price can reach up to thousand k's. 

At the shop, the sales person who is also the owner of the shop is from Afghanistan. He was polite and quite a nice guy. He showed us many types of carpets from different range of prices. He was very calm and smiling along the way although can be quite choosy sometimes. While mummy is still choosing the carpet she wanted and start bargaining with the sales person, i observe on how he treated his customer. He told us he owned 9 of the shops in Arab street as some of the carpet he showed to Mummy was taken from the shop. He keeps on saying Allahu akbar (Allah is the Greatest) mashaAllah and alhamdulillah (all praises to Allah)

He also told us his name, (we didnt ask) haha. He told us to prove that he is a muslim and he is trying his best to give the best price to all his muslims customer. And so he told us his name is Faizullah. And mummy asked him what is the meaning of your name? He kept quite and a few seconds after that he asked us to guess. I couldnt care less and make a random guesing, i think faiz means win/you win something and faizullah resembles winning something from Allah. We asked him whether our guess is correct but he neither nod or shake. He instead asks us to google. I said i dont have access to the internet and thus he gave me his phone for me to google his name. 

Faizullah -> Abundance from Allah

  

He said ya that might be the meaning in English but from his language, faizullah means light from Allah. Then, he pointed to us the shop opposite the carpet shop. That's my shop as well he said. We sell beautiful lighs and the main reason why i sell lights because i want to be just like the meaning of my name. I want to sell lights (to brighten) people's house. Just like my name light from Allah. :)

Dear Mr Faizullah, 

Thank you for reminding me the importance of having a pure intentions in everything we do. It is true that everyone we met is a lesson and you remind me that i also have a beautiful name with a beautiful meaning and i should also live up to the meaning of my name. I pray that Allah will widen your rizki and i pray that Allah will shower you blessings and more customer in shaa Allah. 

Nurafeefa

Nur -> Light

Afeefa -> Pure, modest 😢

Thank you random stranger. You made my day :)

May Allah bless.

Lots of love

Assalamualaikum and may peace be upon you dear blog readers :)

Okay this time kita nak cerita pasal our random roadtrip masa Labor Day. Roadtrip ni terjadi sbb kita semua tak balik kampung during the long weekend. bukan sebab kita semua lupa daratan, kerja tak igt dunia or anak derhaka. bukan semua tu bukannn. mak ayah ampunkanlah kami sebab kami tak dapat pulang ke kampung halaman semuaaa sebab time cuti cuti ni jalan jam! haa JAM.

Sebab tula kami decide utk buat random roadtrip to Kuala Selangor, Hee.
dekat sahaja dgn tempat tggal kami around sejam cenggitu ha. Dua tempat je yg menjadi tumpuan kami

i) Sawah padi dekat Sekinchan
ii) Kelip-kelip Kampung Kuantan.

Best!
Nah hakak belanja readers sekalian gambar-gambar ea :)

 the trio ; blossom, bubble and buttercup! :P

 acah-acah cerita hindustan sikit

 karipap king kong ;D sedapp! nampak tak ayam dia banyak mana. ni dah potong 4 dah ni

Jetty Kampung Kuantan

 A little bit about fireflies

Boat utk tgk fireflies RM 53 per boat (max 4 pax)

Tiga benda penting utk di take note sepanjang trip:

1. Jadilah seperti padi semakin berisi semakin tunduk bukan seperti lalang, semakin tggi semakin menjulang ke langit.

2. Jadilah juga seperti kelip-kelip yg mengeluarkan cahaya yg menerangi dan menarik pelancong disamping menjana pendapatan negara.

and 

3. Nanti kalau photoshoot kahwen nak buat kat paddy field lah! hehe okbye. :P

okay got to go. 

Doakan yg baik-baik utk semua. 

Lots of love, 

Nurafeefa Bungsu :)

Hmm

Assalamualaikum wbt
May peace be upon you.

The feeling of attachment and detachment is so complicated.
Kau susah nak attach tapi once kau dah attach kau susah nak detach. Where is your titik keseimbangan? Mana tawazun mana?

You know you cannot be too attached to no other than Allah rite. Then why is this happening again?

Human is not immortal.
Immortal.
So does your feelings.
Dearself, kuatkan hati. Doa pada ilahi.

Assalamualaikum wbt dear blog readers,
May peace be upon you :)




Finallyyy I am updating my blog. dah lama berkira-kira nak blog tapi tak berkesempatan.
Alhamdulillah dapat curi masa utk update blog yg dah berhabuk ni fuh..fuhhh..(tiup tiup habuk)


rezeki.


Apa ada pada rezeki?
Setiap hamba Allah sudah ditetapkan rezekinya sejak dahulu lagi. sejak dia masih berada dalam kandungan ibu. Soal rezeki, ajal, maut, takdir, jodoh dan sebagainya sudah ditentukanNya sejak azali lagi.


Apa lagi yg mahu kita berkira-kira?




atau masihkah kita meragui kehebatanNya?


*******************************************************************************




seringkali diri ini masih belum percaya, Dialah perencana terhebat.
seringkali bersangka-sangka yg Dia lupa, sedangkan Dia tuhan yg tidak pernah lupa,
seringkali diri ini terasa Dia tidak pernah mendengar, sedangkan dialah Maha mendengar lagi Maha Mengetahui.




terlalu banyak khilaf dalam diri ini.
kerana sering dibayangi indahnya nikmat dunia,
terlena dibuai rasa,
terkejar dgn keindahan dan nikmat sementara.


tuhan,
izinkan aku memohon keampunan atas segala dosa.
aku hanyalah hambaMu yg penuh dosa.


ampunilah aku, rahmatilah aku, berkatilah hidupku.
dan akhirkanlah kesudahan hidupku dgn pengakhiran terbaik.



kurniakanlah aku rezeki yg baik, ilmu yg bermanfaat
dan terimalah amalanku yang tak seberapa.


Sesungguhnya aku masih sedang mencuba.


mencuba utk menjadi hamba.
ikhlaskanlah diriku.
redhokanlah hatiku
kuatkanlah hatiku
aku terlalu ingin memperoleh cintaMu.


Cinta yg satu.


Janganlah Kau pesongkan hati ini setelah Engkau berikan petunjuk.




PadaMu aku memohon padaMu ku berharap.
syukur atas segalanya.


yang ikhlas,


HambaMu.
