Friday's Wish

“May Allah take away from you

 all that takes you away from

 Him.”

Rabia Al-Adawiyah

Lady saint of Basra 

(95-185 AH)

but the hearts are at rest.

sy rse ad certain things at certain times pntg utk kte voice out utk kemaslahatan umat..our thoughts may be fighting with each other, but the hearts are at rest..

we're not perfect, but that doesn't mean we can't follow the perfect ones..

Narrated Aisha:
That Allah's Apostle said to her, "I know when you are pleased with me or angry with me." I said, "Whence do you know that?" He said, "When you are pleased with me, you say, 'No, by the Lord of Muhammad,' but when you are angry with me, then you say, 'No, by the Lord of Abraham.' " Thereupon I said, "Yes (you are right), but by Allah, O Allah's Apostle, I leave nothing but your name." 

Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 62, Number 155

arguing in a certain manner is good, as the above hadith states, even Aisyah(ra) felt the urge. she didn't hide it away, she showed it through her words, by subtituting the name of Muhammad(saw) to Abraham(as). This is a common hadith, but actually,the last bit is what is important. when she says "I leave nothing but your name". That even when she's angry, nothing has changed between them, except Rasulullah's name through her tongue. He is still the same in her heart.

ba :')

today i remembered ba a lot..

hari ni teringat sgt kat ba..teringat wktu time ktorg smue sekolah rendah lg..along n angah g al-amin, me n mayah went to IIC..the two schools is about 5-10 minutes apart, so ba used to send us in one go..

the thing is, al-amin starts at 7.30 am n IIC at 8..so, me n mayah would usually arrive at IIC much earlier, around 7.30..

but ba, was a great father when i think back..he wouldn't just drop us like that at 7.30..

instead, he'll park n let us stay in the car until almost 8..even in that short interval, he cared..

he let us sleep until the time comes..sometimes he sleeps too..sometimes, when both of us don't sleep, he would recite to me his memorization..once, it was al-kahfi..

when it's almost 8, only then we'll leave the car, then he'll go to the hospital..

n now that i've grown up, i still do rebel at times..n not only that, i did nothing that has made him proud.. :(

he deserves all the good things in this world n hereafter..may Allah forgive all his sins and place him with the Prophets n Sahabaahs in Jannah..ameen
