My Journey to Jannah

"And Allah created us, only for the purpose, to worship Him alone." I am Yka. A young and very optimistic Muslimah struggling to be a better person every day, before changing the world. Hoping to inspire and to be inspired by others to only contribute goodness to this Dunya. Come and join my journey to Jannah, In Shaa Allah.

It is always my everyday routine in the morning, going to the office. The familiar way which I take every single day. Aside from the pollution brought by the vehicles, what saddened me is the view of people sleeping in the side street. Subhanallah. I feel sad and pity for their situation and at the same time, it makes me realize how i should be more thankful to God for so many things I just have took for granted. And then, it was a Friday morning, i passed by a kid at the stairs going up the LRT station. I saw how he was so desperate to ask for anything from other people to buy his food. The hunger and the cold brought by lack of clothing. It was a sad view. And what made it sad for me is that I did not give him anything as a charity. Astagfirullah. May Allah open and soften my heart to those people who are needy. May Allah give barakaat to whatever i will give In Shaa Allah. Ameen.

Allah's Wisdom

Nowadays, with all of what's been happening all around the globe, we think that it is NOT safe out there.

From conflicts, hungers, oppressions, hate crimes, discriminations, misunderstandings, trials, failures, disappointments, sorrows, goodbyes. . . name it! The list will be endless.

And we will never understand fully the Great Wisdom of Allah s.w.t. behind every situation. But one thing for sure, it is for our goodness.

Let us take as an example a young aspiring doctor. He has been to a medical school for years, been an intern for a year, took the physician board exam, and FAILED. This could be a very disappointing time for him, for his family, relatives and friends.

But the wisdom behind failing the exam, could be better than him passing the exam at that time. Maybe Allah wants him to be a better doctor that is why he let him fail in the first take. Maybe Allah wants him to review again for him to call out more for Allah's sake. Maybe Allah wants him to be closer to Allah s.w.t. Maybe Allah did not let him pass the exam, for passing the exam could make him astray. And so on. Only Allah knows what's behind every thing.

What we can do is to do our very best in whatever we do.

Be patient.

Be STEADFAST on our DEEN.

Pray, pray, pray and pray.

Yes, A LOT OF SINCERE DUAAs to Allah to give that which is good for us in this Dunya, and especially what is good for us in the Akhira.

Finally, to trust Allah s.w.t. that He will give only that which is good for all of us.

Have you said Alhamdulillah today?

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim.

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful. Indeed, Allah is the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.

Every day of my life, I cannot be thankful enough for the countless blessings He showered upon me and my family.

Alhamdulillah, I am a Muslim.

Alhamdulillah, for He sent Muhammad (may peace be upon him) and the Quran as our guide.

Alhamdulillah, for the wisdom, understanding and patience He granted me.

Alhamdulillah, for my parents, siblings, relatives, friends, and for all the people who became part of my life in this Dunya.

Alhamdulillah, for all of the achievements, knowledge and skills that Allah let me acquired.

Alhamdulillah, for I am stronger at times when I need to beat Shaytan.

Alhamdulillah, I am starting to think now as a MUSLIM.

Alhamdulillah, FOR EVERYTHING.

And the list will go on. Just the mere fact, that I am writing here now and thanking Allah s.w.t. for everything, is a mercy and blessing from Allah.

With this, In Shaa Allah, I will start to fill up everyday my so called "ALHAMDULILLAH Bottle". This way, I could be more grateful to Our Creator for the countless blessings he is showering us everyday!
