You are never alone!

yup that's true! we'll never be left alone as He is even nearer to man than man's jugular veins and Allah will always be at our side. Whenever a believer in need or distress calls on Him, He responds. So have faith on Him and insyaAllah He'll guide you through...

"You Are Never Alone"
by Zain Bhikha

Sometimes, when the world's not on your side
You don't know where to run to
You don't know where to hide.

You gaze, at the stars in the sky
At the mountains so high
Through the tears in your eyes.

Looking for a reason,
to replace what is gone.
Just remember, remember
That you are never alone.

You are never alone (you are never alone)
Just reach into your heart
And Allah is always there.

You are never alone (you are never alone)
Through sorrow and through grief
Through happiness and peace
You are never alone.

So now as you long for your past
Prepare for your future
But knowing nothings going to last
You see this life is but a road
A straight and narrow path
To our final abode
So travel well O Muslim
And Paradise will be your home
And always remember
That you are never alone.

You are never alone (you are never alone)
Just reach into your heart
And Allah is always there.

You are never alone (Allah is there)
Through sorrow and through grief
Through happiness and peace
You are never alone.

You are never alone (you are never never alone)
Just reach into your heart
And Allah is always there.

You are never alone (you are never alone)
Through sorrow and through grief
Through happiness and peace
You are never alone.

a love letter

Ever wonder how would a love letter affects you? Especially when it's written by a person that you really love; your spouse (if married), parents, siblings, family, friends etc. I believe that I had millions of them including the small encouraging notes, emails in my yahoo mailbox, good luck wishes, special notes written in the birthday cards etc (I considered them as love letters as well..hehehh). When it comes to this kind of letter I would be deeply fall in love with the soothing and beautiful words and I'm really appreciate it. Somehow the letter will affect your mood and mind at that perticular time or whenever you read it. And most of it will be the positive tones, either you're feeling happy, encouraged, blessed. Thanks to all the people around me who always shower me with love and care, what else should I ask from Allah except for their safety and health now and always insyaAllah..May Allah bless all of you!

This is an extract of one of the love letters that I received. I'm so touched!

Salam wbt duhai sahabatku yg kukasihi krn Allah..

Engkau tabahkanlah hatimu menghadapi ujian dr Allah..sungguh Allah itu Maha Adil pada hamba-hambaNya..kuatkanlah kakimu melangkah menghadapi hari-hari mendatang.. insyaAllah setiap langkahanmu diperhitung oleh Allah sebagai titis-titis kesabaran bagi mencapai ketaqwaan kepadaNya.

Wahai sahabat,
Sungguh diriku sangat menyayangimu!
Apa jua keputusan yang diambil insyaAllah akan kusokong sepenuhnya.

Sahabatku,
Usah dikesali akan apa yang telah berlaku kerana Allah tidak akan pernah menginginkan kesusahan buatmu. Namun itulah yang terbaik yang datang dari Allah. Ketahuilah bahawa Allah teramat sangat mengasihimu duhai sahabat!

Ujian tanda Allah sayang!=)

"Apakah kamu mengira bahwa kamu akan masuk surga, padahal belum nyata bagi Allah orang-orang yang berjihad diantaramu dan belum nyata orang-orang yang sabar. "(Ali Imran:142)

Ujian adalah guru yang tidak bercakap tetapi mengajar dan mendidik kita. Ia hakikatnya komunikasi tanpa bicara antara Tuhan dengan hambaNya. Tidak kiralah ujian tersebut kecil mahupun besar adalah takdir Allah untuk kita.

Apabila ujian menimpa, kita:
-mula melatah
-merungut merasakan Allah itu tidak adil
-secara tidak sedar, timbul rasa dendam dan buruk sangka kepada pencipta kita.

Namun hakikatnya, ia melatih kita mendapatkan sifat-sifat yang terpuji (sabar, redha, baik sangka, tawakkal, akui diri sebagai hamba yang lemah, mengharap pertolongan Allah)

Sahabat,
Allah mahu kita beringat-ingat agar dengan ujian ini kita sebagai hamba akan datang untuk mengadu, mengharap, merintih belas ihsan dan sentiasa merasakan hanya kepada Allah tempat kita meminta segala-galanya.

wassalam.
