THE WORLD...

Sometimes the world is weary…
Many things could interfere with the mind
Hence, don’t make it as a goal,
Or just a reason to survive,
Moreover as a standard of happiness ...
However,
Make it as a way to get Allah’s approval
By Allah’s will it will safe until the destination, there is no regret nor worries
Moreover, if Allah pleased, nothing He gives except goodness…
It’s easy for Him to make our hopes come true!

Be smart on taking lessons,
Along the road of life ...
Allah made a good living exam, whether with difficulty or ease,
Not to weaken nor to make the faith decrease
All had been prepared as the stages of learning
To increase the faith and devotion

Keep in the heart and mind,
All will be pleased
Upon victory arrival ...
Exhausted struggle won’t be felt
Turned into an unforgettable beautiful memories ...
Because Allah replace it with happiness,
And glory for those who steadfast on the path of righteousness

Glory be to Allah…
How beautiful to struggle in the way of Allah
Not able to pass it all, if only we rely on the power of ourselves,
Only the Allah who is able to strengthen the heart ...
So, it’s enough that Allah and His Messenger as witnesses,
For our sincerity in order to deserve true believer!

Physical Beauty or Inner Beauty?

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: "Verily Allah does not look to your faces and your wealth but He looks to your heart and to your deeds."  (Sahih Muslim)
 
Physical beauty is given by Allah.

So, if he/she has good out look it’s a blessed. BUT if he/she has not so good out look it’s also not really matter. Because Allah is The Most Wise. He gives people with strength and weakness. That’s why we say nobody is perfect!

Moreover, in front of Allah we are good or not is not based on our physical beauty, but on how our obedience to Him, how our faith, how our deeds. 
"Surely the most honorable  of you with Allah is the one among you most careful (of his duty)"  (Qur'an surat Al Hujurat (49) : 13)

Therefore, whoever people, whether they have good or not physical beauty, they have the same right and have to struggle in order to achieve high level in front of Allah.

In conclusion, people who see that matter based on Allah's point of view, they will say that inner beauty is more important.

Physical beauty is got for granted, with less effort even without effort , while Inner beauty is got by effort.

That is why I’ll give more appreciation to people who have inner beauty.

Besides that, Inner beauty will last longer than physical beauty. When we are getting old, we can’t keep our physical beauty stay the same. BUT we will always be able to strengthen our inner beauty to get better n better…

How perfect Allah teaches His servants...

What we experience...

What we learn...

What we understand...

What we do...

All...  become a part of us that shows who we are.

There are many things don't happen instantly, but they need process... 

As for what happen upon us... How do we become at the moment... It is related to the process we get through in this life.

So many times, we might don't really realize how we change... However, if we take a moment to reflect ourselves, we might say, "how could I get through all of these...? How could I have changed become someone like this...?" 

The answers will be It's Allah who help us get through all of those... 

There is no each single moment we have that Allah doesn't know...

There is no such change upon us that Allah doesn't know...

For us who get through moments in our life to learn from Allah as the way to get the true from Him... and we do all of them with sincere intention, to seek Allah ridha... we might  get surprise... because Allah has helped us to become the one as what Allah wants...

Subhanallah... how perfect Allah teaches His servants through many lessons in this life...

Allah knows best what lesson for each single person based on what level he is next to Allah.
All of the lessons given by Allah is  to make us be the better of His servant... insha'allah...

Pembelajaran hidup dari Allah...

Kurasakan kembali betapa besarnya kasih sayang Allah kepada hamba-hamba Nya...

Sebagaimana ketika aku disadarkan kembali, masih banyak ketidaksempurnaan ku dalam beramal... masih banyak waktu yang dihabiskan dalam kesia-siaan..., namun Allah masih saja menginginkan diri ini untuk kembali kepada-Nya... sebagai hamba yang lebih baik dan lebih baik...

Betapa banyak cara Allah mengingatkan lewat berbagai bentuk teguran-Nya yang penuh hikmah agar aku mengerti bahwa...

...dibalik setiap kejadian ada pembelajaran hidup dari-Nya...

Ya Allah... 

ampuni hamba-Mu ini yang masih tertatih-tatih dalam menjalankan syari'at Mu...

ampuni hamba, yang dengan segala potensi terbaik yang telah Engkau berikan, hamba masih belum mampu menggunakan-Nya secara optimal di jalan-Mu... 

Aku tak akan pernah bisa kembali ke masa lalu dan menghapus jejak-jejak amal ku yang kadang tersesat dari jalan-Mu... Namun, dengan petunjuk-Mu kuberharap dapat meniti jalan yang masih terbentang dihadapan ku untuk menuju keridha'an Mu ya Allah... amiin...

Come to ALLAH...

In whatever your condition, come to Allah will be the first step to see the brighter side of your life...   
Come to Allah... 
and you will see what should you do...
The more you come closer to Allah... 
...the more He will reach you to live under His sake...
Insya'Allah... 

COME TO ALLAH IS THE KEY! ^_

Plan your life...

Life without planning seems meaningless...

Life with planning becomes more meaningful...

(Aliyatul Hikmah ^_)

This picture was made by my lovely sis, Hamida :)

I do like it much... as the words put there is one of my status updated in my Facebook account...

Actually the words come from my understanding of the lesson taught by my Rabb for me...

As my own experience, sometimes I feel like my life seems meaningless when I don't really understand what I do, there are many things to be done, but I just get mess in my mind... hence, what I do seems there is no purpose... just flowing away...

Then, by making planning, moreover to write it down makes me FOCUS in doing things in front of me and what  should I do after this and after that....  

To make planning also makes me can see clearer what is my priority in this life... 

I can analyze my plans whether they are true according to Allah's rules or not... whether they will support my purpose of life or not... So, before I do things, I can imagine what if I do this or that... does Allah get pleased with or not... 

Make your life's plan! and don't forget that Allah also has the best plan for you...
DO THE BEST AND LET ALLAH DO THE REST...

Tie science by writing... (Ikatlah Ilmu dengan Menuliskannya)

..........
..........
..........

..........

Alhamdulillah... thanks to Allah for giving me chance to be here again... and write something... everything I wanna write...

I remember a quote by Ali bin Abu Thalib ra:

"Ikatlah ilmu dengan menuliskannya 

(Tie science by writing)" 

Sure, I realize that there are many advantages by writing something down. It is not only help me to read again what I ever write, but also other great feelings that I feel when I am writing... It teach me to focus in thinking and how to make myself even other people understand what I mean in my writing....

How do you manage yourself?

When everything get mess...

It's not about "how do you manage everything around you", 

but it's about "how do you manage yourself".

How to make life be more live?!

I found myself wondering about the life I lived. In that time, for me, life seemed to be so meaningless and flowed away without my ability to control it. How it could be, I lived in this world just spending minutes, hours, days, years and times passed. It was like I lived on a circle. I moved from certain point to another one, but no matter how far I have walked, I just passed the same points again and again...

Every Second... Every Moment...

In what condition you are now? Are you fine? Does everything goes well or many troubles come? Are you happy or sad? Do you possess everything you want to have or you lose something worth in your life? Do you enjoy what you do right now or you feel disappointed by many things around you? Do you live in this moment by your total awareness about what happening now or you still live in the past remembering all the moment you have passed? Are you satisfy what you have done so far or you are worry how your future will be? Many questions will appear here when you ask yourselves in what condition you are now? Is it important for asking about all of these? Have all of them described in what condition you are now? Is it needed to know how your condition is?

What you have to do is what you can do today!

In the stage of confusing what have to be done with so many things coming to the mind and presenting in front of the eyes, then all of them need to be done, some people turn to worry whether they can do all of them in 'available' time or not. Moreover their past memory about anything they think 'I should have done it, I shouldn't have done it" also give colors into their mind and make them regret for the time passed that they have wasted in such things they not really want to be happened. Just almost the same way how their future presented into their imagination. They try to imagine what will happen in the next time just by seeing their condition in the past or in the day they live now. The words "How if...? What will happen? I need to do this, I must not do that, so..." seems can depict how they manage the future, the time not coming yet, to be as what they arrange today! 

People We Know in Our Life

"O you men! surely We have created you of a male and a female, and made you tribes and families that you may know each other; surely the most honorable  of you with Allah is the one among you most careful (of his duty); surely Allah is Knowing, Aware." (QS. Al Hujuraat 49:13)

Many people come and go in our life. Some give impression while others just passing by. I never plan in my life who are those I will meet in my life as I also never know who are among them that will be precious ones in my life. Think deeply about that case, I always believe that there is no such meeting or separating except Allah has managed it. Every meeting and separating must be has its own meaning as He has written for us who are people we will know in our life! Allah always gives the best for us by sending people in our life whether they are good people or the bad ones. One thing that we need to do is learn from each other, take what is good and leave what is bad. We are the same in front of Allah except our faith and taqwa that differ us, one from others. SO, let's fastabiqul khairat! Compete each other in doing good deeds and taqwa! Help one another to keep walking in Allah's path and reach His ridho. Wallahu'alam bishshowab.

The difference on our thinking

"O you who believe! obey Allah and obey the Apostle and those in authority from among you; then if you quarrel about anything, refer it to Allah and the Apostle, if you believe in Allah and the last day; this is better and very good in the end." (An Nisaa' 4 : 59)

It's not always our thinking is same with others' thinking. We think like this while others are thinking like that. However, in this world for muslims, we have the same standard to look at something whether it's right or wrong, good or bad. That standard of life is based on the aqidah and syari'ah (rules of Allah). Anytime we have different view with others, just return back to this! As long as the difference is not thing that against Allah's rules and it's still permitted in Islam, so just keep moving with our thinking that we consider it's right based on the strong source of laws in Islam. 

The New Day Has Come... What Does It mean???

The NEW DAY has come. Alhamdulillah... :)

What do u think and feel when you realize that NOW you are living in another day? Do you think it will be just like days have passed or you have so many hope to be come true in this day and you have arranged so many things to do for TODAY? well! it must be there are so many answers for the questions I write down here. Now let's be more care to think of what is the meaning your presence in this life, JUST FOR TODAY, not your past nor your future.

"Alhamdulillah..." This is the saying that most of muslims say when they get up in the morning. Is it ordered in Islam? yeah. it's one of lessons taught by Rasulullah SAW. What is the meaning behind that saying. Here I just want to share my thought as what I learn and understand. Actually when someone are sleeping, his soul is in Allah's hand. So in this stage, he is just like death person. If Allah doesn't return back his soul, it means that the one has entered another world. In other word we can say that he has died. We can see this by our own eyes things that happened in this world. There are people who end up their last day in this life when they are sleeping. Do you think that sleeping can cause people  to die? Surely it's not something that cause people get death. It's just one of conditions showing death can come in anytime and anywhere if the last time for people to live in this world has come, even in their sleeping. So, it's the time that has been determined by Allah when the ones have to leave this world and entered another world. 

Saying I love you...

"I LOVE YOU..." 

"Ana Uhibbuki fillah..."

If you want to say it... 

BUT you can't do it because the time is not right to say...

say it in your pray! 

It will be safer to our hearts.

Allah is the best Guardian of our hearts.

Ask everything to Him... 

as He always hears anything that appears or hidden in the bottom of our heart.

We're muslims who have given rules for each single aspect in our life. All of those rules are given to solve any problem in our life. Each rule in Islam if it's applied, it will always give advantage and useful for us, whether we sometimes can figure it out or not.  Ask again ourselves. Who is our creator? Who is the one who deserve to make rules for us? where do we come from? What is our life for? and where we will return after live in this world?!

Love is a gift from our Lord, Allah. We shouldn't make it turn to nothing or things that can make us go astray from Allah's way by leaving His rules. Whenever we fall in love... make it to become one of our support to love Allah more and more, and follow His rules in each single step of our life...

Muslims in LOVE build 'special' relationship before marriage??? O_o

Love... Love and love... will you continue reading this writing till finish after knowing the topic I write here?! Hmmm... everybody maybe don't get bored to talk about love... to think about love... and to feel love.... EXCEPT those who get broken heart because of love, those who get pain because of love or those who try deny essence of love in their life just because the hatred he plants inside their heart and mind.

Talking about LOVE... this topic seems never end to be discussed. There are so many people talk about love. In any place... any time... it will be easy for us to find that word. As what you read here, I'll talk about love too. Indeed this is not the first time I bring this topic in my blog here. Some my writings here have been talking about LOVE, especially love in Islam. Then, now I'll try to write  a little thing about LOVE between man and woman before marriage as what be the issue around us, especially youth.

OK! I'll start to write what is in my mind right now. First I'll let you now that I write this because I'm feeling in love with my Rabb, Allah. 

Nothing's Everlasting in This World

When there's beginning there is ending too. That's what I learn from some things in this life. I also often read or heard the quote "Nothing is Everlasting". Is it true? Don't ask it to me in order to convince you that it's true or not. Even when you ask all people you can meet, they will give you various answers as their opinion. So, just learn by ourselves things in this life that other people can't show us things as what we want to know. Just learn from what we can take from this life. We have lived in this extraordinary world more than days or months. It's years and It's not a short period. Then, let ask ourselves how many lessons from this life that we really learn during our life? It's not so important how long we live but how mean our life in this temporary world.

When I'm Looking At People Around Me

I looked at people around me, watching for what they do in their daily life. It’s limited what I can see from them, only things I could see directly by my own eyes. However, it gave me so many thoughts what I learned from them. Sometimes it surprises me knowing that each person has his own world. They deal with their Lord, themselves and people or anything around them. I don’t really know what is in their minds, but what is shown in front of my eyes makes me think that they also keep thinking like me. Even in some parts of this life, I can feel what they feel. How does this also involve me into their world? One of the reasons is I’m a part of them as Allah’s creation who ever shared same experiences.  In some moments I can be their witness for what they do and they also do the same, be my witness for what I do as long as it can be seen by them. It's true that each person know better about himself than what other people can see  him physically by their eyes. Especially Allah, He knows best about each person in this world more than any body knows himself.

We're Actors in the Story of Life

It's such a quiet night and I just can't STOP thinking of the story of my life.  What a wonderful thing I can remember moments I ever have in this life. Though I can't turn back the time and live in the times where the stories played, they are still in my life and be a part of me. This is because they live in my memory. It surprised me and made me start to think how come I can remember some of them clearly while the others have been forgotten or remembered vaguely. I believe there are also other stories I never known that I ever had them in my life.

I never really manage my mind which parts of my stories in this life that should be remembered or forgotten. How great this happens during the life of any person in this world. It can't be denied that Allah, The Creator of all mankind, has blessed human being with such a thing, keeping some the stories of someone's life in his mind and deleting some of them. Indeed I never learn deeply how the memory works in the brain, but I can make an analogy by the memory of computer. Well! My analogy maybe not truly true, because it's not comparable the memory of computer made up by human and the memory human's brain made by Allah. It's just the way how to make me easier think of the memory kept in my brain.

What Is The Meaning of Success For You?

Success is something that each person wants to get it in his life. That is why he  will do efforts optimally to reach his successful. Each person maybe has different meaning about success that he wants to get. For example, a success for a football player maybe is defined by making as many as possible goals in every match. Success for a singer maybe is defined by the large number of his songs that has been sold. Success for a student maybe is defined by a high mark he got in his study. 

From the examples that have been written in the passage above, the meaning of success for someone could be influenced by his position or condition. For a director of a company, maybe he will define his success by his capability in managing his staffs and his company well or how he can reach targets that  the company want to be reach. For a member of an organization maybe he will define his success by reaching the organization's purpose where he joins in .
