Aku Merancang dengan Cita-Cita, Allah merancang dengan Cinta

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Aku merancang dengan cita-cita, Allah merancang dengan cinta

Masya Allah, mendalam sungguh kata-kata tu. Amat terkesan dalam hati yang penuh harapan agar Allah titipkan hanya yang terbaik buatnya.

Kebelakangan ini aku sering diuji. Diuji dengan kesetiaan cinta kepada Sang Khaliq, juga kesetiaan pada hambaNya. Aku juga tidak terlepas dalam ujianNya yang membuat aku menilai dan terfikir kembali kedudukan dan peranan sebagai seorang tholibul ilm (pelajar). Ia sangat mengganggu fikiranku di kala aku sedar. Lalu menghantuiku di kala aku lena..

Allahu akbar! Dirasakan seolah dunia meminggirkan aku sejauh yang boleh. Aku sendiri. Ya. Semuanya ditanggung sendiri. Aku tak rela berkongsi duka dengan insan-insan di sekelilingku. Apatah lagi mereka yang amat aku sayangi. Biarlah aku mengadu pada Tuhanku sebelum aku meluah perasaan ini pada mereka. Sesungguhnya Dia lebih memahami; Dialah yang berkuasa membolak-balikkan hati manusia. Dia menguasainya. Segala-galanya adalah di atas ketentuanNya jua.

Jika aku harus menangis, biarlah aku mengalirkan air mataku di hadapannya dahulu. Aku tekad. Aku akan kembali kepadaNya dalam apa jua keadaan kerana kini aku sedar, Dialah penentu segala yang telah berlaku, apatah lagi yg bakal berlaku.

Hati.. usahlah terlalu merindui yang bukan milikmu. Cukuplah mendekatkan dirimu pada Allah dan mengenali agamamu. Banyak yang boleh kau perolehi wahai hati.  Ilmu boleh membawa kau jauh. Tapi cinta seorang hamba daif?  Hanya membuat kau hanyut...

Hati.. teruslah berdoa untuk apa yang kau inginkan. Bumi Allah ini luas, begitu juga ilmuNya.  Jika kau tidak diizinkan menimba ilmu dan pengalaman di sana, Allah tentu akan menggantikan dengan yang lebih baik buatmu.  Ketahuilah sesungguhNya Dia merancang dengan cinta dan kasih sayang yang tidak pernah berbelah bagi...  Kau taat pada perintahNya, kuatkan ikatan cintamu padaNya nescaya Dia akan lebih cinta padamu.  Percayalah wahai hati..

Hati, kau didiklah iman agar kita sama-sama dapat menundukkan nafsu ammarah yang berapi dalam diri ini tika rencana kita tidak menjadi.  Allah sentiasa bersama hambaNya. Dia merancang dengan cinta.. Apa yang terbaik buat kita belum tentu yang terbaik menurutNya.

Yang Terbaik vs Yang Terbaik Di Sisi Allah

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

_________________________________

"Kalau kau benar-benar ikhlas dan yakin dengan Allah, pasti Allah akan menggantikan cinta manusia yang boleh mendekatkan kamu padaNya, gadis yang terbaik untukmu.  Pak cik faham, mungkin kau rasa Khazinatul Asrar adalah gadis terbaik yang pernah kau kenali tapi tak semestinya dia adalah gadis terbaik untuk kamu.  Allah lebih bijak untuk memilih seorang gadis terbaik untuk kamu, dan Asrar adalah terbaik untuk suaminya.

Aturan Allah jualah yang terbaik.  Dia Maha Mengetahui.  Berdoalah agar dapat memiliki seorang gadis terbaik buatmu, bukan berdoa agar dapat memiliki Khazinatul Asrar.

Yakinlah dengan Allah, bukankah itu azimat Khazinatul Asrar?  Terimalah ketentuanNya."

_________________________________

Ya Allah, tetapkan hatiku pada pilihanMu ya Allah.  Redhakan hati ini agar aku dapat menerimanya dengan ikhlas.  Amiin!

The Israeli Occupation

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Assalamu'alaikum~
Alhamdulillah 12 days through Ramadhan 1435H and we're still standing strong

Trials and tribulations are signs of love from Allah. Be patient 'cause He truly understands what we're going through. He's there with us all along; through thick and thin. This is true love that people are hunting for - believe it or not.

In addition to that, let us pray for the ambassadors of Islam who have been staying strong in Palestine, safeguarding the endowed land of Islam although thousands have been tortured and killed mercilessly.

Know more about this occupation as a Muslim. In fact, do you know the history behind all this?

If You Love, You Let Go

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Assalamu'alaikum friends! Haha. Let me guess, you're reading this because of the title? And you must be thinking, what nonsense I have this time.

People say, don't judge before you know the story.. so happy reading~ may this benefit you and me, insya Allah!

P/S: I dedicate this post to all the singles out there..

----------------------------------

"When I was 14 years old, I lost my mother in an accident. My Dad decided to get married again so that, being a single child, I do not feel the lack of a mother. Since that day, things have never been the same. Growing up as a young lady, I always craved for motherly affection. I felt so lonely. She never became my mother.

I was an intelligent student and I used to spend my time studying, reading and writing. When I joined university, I met that guy who told me after two meetings that he fell in love with me. At that time, I was so happy. I had that kind of rosy, bubbly and lovely feeling of 'being in love'. He waited for my answer for a month or so and then I gave in. I said 'Yes' to him and we started meeting often. After two months came Ramadan and we decided to meet only after Eid.

 

On Eid, I got a phone call saying that we should stop everything right here.
He didn't give me any explanations and I could not contact him anymore. I was heartbroken, devastated. He betrayed me. This is what came flashing in my mind. I started feeling depressed. I used to cry a lot. I was so happy that at least I will have someone who will love me. I decided to concentrate on my studies.

I finished my degree and grabbed a job. After 5 years of studies and job, dad told me that it's high time to get married or at least agree to the idea of wedding. (I used to feel very irritated about the idea of 'love' or 'wedding' I never attended a wedding, however close the bride or groom might be. I remember I used to stop talking to friends who would get into a relationship. In short, I could not stand the display of affection and love anymore). One day, I got home later than usual. I saw a car parked outside.

But I didn't even care to enquire who that was. Later Dad told me that a friend of his came with a proposal for his son. I refused instantly. After a few days, I agreed to meet the boy because Dad insisted. And there he was. The guy who fell in love about 6 years ago. I had tears in my eyes. The first thing I asked him was, why did you leave me then? He answered that during Ramadhan, he used to read a lot about Islam and he found out the sin we were committing and did not want me to sin along with him. He broke up with me and prayed to Allah sincerely. He didn't even know that the girl was me.

Tomorrow is our 3rd anniversary and the 1st birthday of our princess. There is one thing I learnt:

Everything happens for the best. If it didnt happen now, it means it will happen in a better way later. You just have to be patient. "

~Leyla

So..... what do you think?

Brothers, just my one cent, if you really love her, leave her to Allah until you are fully prepared to take her as your lawful wife in Islam. Put your trust in Him!  Love Him before you love her.. 'cause eventually, your love for Him will bring you closer to her.



Sisters, each and every one of us is like a flower. Some blooms faster... but some, later. Pray to Allah, be in love with Him before you fall for His slave. I believe Allah has planned for you to meet your imam in the best way you have ever imagined. 

Yours sincerely,

Iman Bukan Sekadar Angan-Angan

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Sampai bila kita hanya merintih? Oraklah langkah! Kita kena kembali rasa izzah sebagai Muslim, dengan kualiti fardu seorang Muslim

Berperibadi Muslim dengan sahsiah Islam sebenar adalah tanda iman kita hidup dan mampu menjadi penggerak tingkah laku kita.

Iman itu bukan sekadar angan-angan.. tapi apa yang kita praktikkan. Kita mesti mengatur rentak membina umat Islam bermula dengan individu Muslim, iaitu diri kita.

Hanya keadilan Islam yang mampu membela semua hak manusia di dunia ini. Islam itu tinggi dan tiada yang lebih tinggi darinya. Hanya Islam membawa rahmat kepada semua.

~ Seindah Mawar Berduri ~
