I'm scared I come off as pious. I am very far from that. If I share something related to Islam, being it publicly or privatly, know that is always a reminder for myself first.

"Barangkali rasa khawatirmu terhadap kehidupan dan masa depan, adalah cara Allah untuk menjagamu agar tetap taat"
Alhamdulillah. Jalani, nikmati sambil terus disyukuri :)
Entah seberapa jauh jaraknya. Entah sebanyak apa riuh perjalanannya. Entah dimanapun tempat berlabuhnya. Semoga selalu diyakinkan dengan: “pada akhirnya takdir terbaik Allah itu pasti datang.”
Tenang sayang, sebentar lagi ya, giliranmu. Bismillah. :)
A few days ago I stumbled upon Kak Izyan writing which goes; Kadang kadang dalam hidup kita, ada sesuatu yang Tuhan ambil dan takkan diganti semula walau kita tunggu seumur hidup.
Her sentence somehow made me feel scared at the moment, and then I continued reading them to a point where she comforted us readers, with something like "takpelah, hidup dekat dunia sekejap je kan? nanti dekat akhirat kita boleh minta Allah anything kan?"
And the reason, we strive so hard, trying our best to pleased Allah because we have realized that to get anything we want , we have to masuk Syurga first, and with that my love, teruslah berbuat baik walaupun dunia terasa "kejam", teruslah menjadi baik, sebab Allah sayang orang yang baik.
Yes our good deeds will tentukan if we are capable to enter His Jannatul Firdaus, but let's not forget, sometimes or perhaps mostly, Allah takdirkan Syurga untuk kita atas izin, rahmat dan redha nya Dia pada kita.
Sesekali kita hidup dengan cara sederhana, tak apa kan? Tak perlu kita nak runsing fikirkan cara bagaimana nak puaskan hati orang. Cukup lah kita dan Allah yang tahu. Orang lain boleh bercakap, tapi Tuhan menjadi saksi, susah senang kita, hanya untuk hidup, sehari lebih lagi.
Lately I haven't been feeling like myself, where my emotions were all over the place, I was in an emotional mess. Where I would outburst suddenly.
Which I hated it so much, because it reminded me back to the dark place which I never wanted to return to. The pain was inevitable and is too much for me to handle. I was alone, confuse, frustrated, sad and disappointed, but mostly, I always feel like I am at the losing end.
I don't know where I should go from here, but I always believe that I am supposed to be where I'm at, I am feeling stagnant not because I have no effort ,but because I am given the time to heal, to feel all the emotions only to learn to let go, one by one. To rise after each burnt.
Allah probably is giving me the time to get to know myself better during this time, to get to know Him even better in order for me to heal. My soul is tired, Ya Allah, but show me how easy this life would be when I include you, My Lord in every decision making, situation and in every steps that I'll be making.
Hold me tight and never let me go, though at times it seems like I'm absent though I'm present.
please bring back kissing women's hand. it's the most romantic thing.
I never stopped
I want to grow old with someone and have them not grow tired of me
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بِٱلنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌۭ رَّحِيمٌۭ
"Surely Allah is Ever Gracious and Most Merciful to humanity."

Put your energy into things that matter to you
Ibn al-Jawzi رحمه الله said:
Wise people used to say:
“Your son is like your flower for the first seven years, and your servant the second seven years.
By the time he reaches fourteen, if you have been good to him then he will be your partner,
and if you were bad to him then he will be your enemy.”
[Disciplining the Soul | Pg. 101]
Having an emotionally mature partner is TOP TIER. You're able to express yourself freely and openly. They don’t insult you. They don't give you the silent treatment. They don't become aggressive or manipulative. They listen, they respond—they patiently hold a safe space for you.
Sheikh ibn ‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله said:
مهما طلبت من الأطباء أن يزول عنك ما في قلبك
“No matter how much you ask the doctors to remove that which is in your heart,
فلن تجد مثل القرآن.
you will never find anything like the Qur’an.”

ISLAM 101: AN INTRODUCTION TO HADITH: Part 16
Sila ar-Rahm (Observing Ties of Kinship): Part 3
e) Rights after Their Death
Making haste with regard to their burial.
Washing them in accordance with the requirements of the Sunnah. One must ensure that the individuals washing them are comprehensively knowledgeable about and skilled in this task.
Shrouding them in accordance with the Prophetic practice.
Obtaining their shroud through their lawful earnings.
Always entreating Allah for their forgiveness.
Personally placing them in the soil.
Performing a helpful service to those who dig the grave and workers at the cemetery.
Burying them among good and righteous people.
Giving in charity by their grave.
Supplicating at their graveside.
Paying their debts.
To recite the talking, or “prompting,” at the time of burial, instructing the deceased in the essentials of belief as to how to answer the interrogative angels. It is stated in a hadith:
“When one of you dies and you have settled the earth over him, let one of you stand at the head of his grave and then say: ‘O So-and-so, son of So-and-so [name of the mother]!’ For he will hear him even if he does not reply. Then let him say a second time: ‘O So-and-so, son of So-and-so [name of the mother]!’ Whereupon he will sit up (in his grave). Then let him say: ‘O So-and-so, son of So-and-so [name of the mother]!’ At this, the deceased will say: ‘Instruct me, and may Allah grant you mercy!’ Even if you cannot hear it. Then let him say: ‘Remember the state in which you left this world, which is your witnessing that there is no deity except Allah and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger; that you are pleased with Allah as your Lord, Islam as your religion, Muhammad as your Prophet, and the Qur’an as your book.’” (Daylami)
Carrying out their last will and testament. If their request contravenes the religion, it is not fulfilled.
Entreating Allah in their supplications after the Prayer and conveying the spiritual rewards to their spirits. A hadith states:
“If a person is undutiful to their parents but prays for their forgiveness and deliverance after their death, Allah will record them among those dutiful to their parents.” (Ibn Abi ad-Dunya)
Fasting on their behalf. It is again stated in hadith:
“No one should offer a Prayer or observe a Fast on behalf of another; however, they can feed (the needy) instead.” (Sunan an-Nasa’i) Someone came to the Prophet and asked, “O Messenger of Allah, my parents have died; is there any act left with which I may be dutiful to them?” Allah’s Messenger said, “There are four such things: supplication and asking for their forgiveness, fulfilling their promises, honoring their friends, and maintaining good relations with those of your relatives with whom your kinship is established only through them.” (Hakim)
Performing the Pilgrimage and sending them the rewards therein. According to the majority of scholars, undertaking the Pilgrimage on behalf of one’s parents is permissible. A hadith states:
“Whoever performs the Pilgrimage on behalf of his deceased parents, that Pilgrimage is accepted from both himself and his parents, and the souls of his parents are given the glad tidings of such.” (Dar al-Qutni)
Giving in charity on their behalf. As stated in a hadith:
“Why should one who gives in charity not convey its reward to the spirit of their deceased parents when both will be rewarded without the reward of the sender not being lessened in the slightest.” (Tabarani)
Visiting their graves and reciting the Qur’an:
“One who visits the grave of one or both of his parents sincerely with the hope of forgiveness will receive the reward equivalent to that of a Pilgrimage, and one who visits their graves often will have angels visiting his grave (after he passes away).” (Hakim)
Visiting their graves on Fridays:
“Whoever visits the grave of his parents, both or either of them, every Friday, Allah will forgive all of his sins and include him amongst those who are dutiful to their parents.” (Sunan at-Tirmidhi)
Honoring their friends. It is stated in a hadith,
“The finest act of goodness is that a person should treat kindly the loved ones of his father.” (Sahih Muslim)
Giving sadaqa al-fitr (the compulsory charity paid after the month of Ramadan) in their name, for the rewards to be bestowed upon them.
Offering a sacrifice on their behalf during the Festival of Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha).
Preparing their favorite foods and distributing them to the needy and, as such, pleasing their spirits.
Not speaking of their faults:
“Speak well of the dead; do not mention their shortcomings.” (Sunan at-Tirmidhi).
LESSONS FROM THE HADITH
One must visit one’s parents and relatives, inquire after their welfare and make them happy.
One must assist those who are in difficulty or need.
Ties must never be severed with one’s relatives.
One who forsakes their relatives must not forget that they will be deprived of Divine Mercy and compassion.
The person most deserving of goodness and benevolence is the mother.
The person most worthy of honor, goodness, and obedience after the mother is the father.
