Rojak-ed.

Salaam 'Alaykum...

Masya Allah, a week has gone by so fast, it feels like just yesterday I attended the 'other' halaqah group with Ness every Wednesday... and in a few days, Wednesday's coming =) I AM EXCITED!

Our Muslimah Halaqah, insya Allah, is up and running again. ALL IS WELCOME! For more details, leave any of the members any message. (Points to links under Halaqah Muslimah)

I was digging up old pictures and I laughed my head off when I saw old pictures when we were 'young' and freshies at ITB. That's SIX YEARS AGO!! What's more funnier is when I stumbled across 'early' pictures of then-strangers and now-not-strangers-anymore. FUNNY YO!

I do miss our great times as students at ITB. Group assignments, presentations, stress! =) I'm so proud of all of you. I do miss everyone, now that everyone's heading their own lives, working, starting family :) All the best guys!

Then, off to reminiscing my UK years. Changes that I decided to do. Difficulties that I had to endure, people that I hurt in the process, people that I met and fell in love with along the way, for the sake of Allah... all in all, it has taught me one very important lesson - BE PATIENT and TRUST THAT ALLAH IS ALWAYS WITH YOU, provided that you remember Him, of course ;)

Surah Ar-Ra'd, Ayat 27-28, Allah berfirman, yang tafsirnya lebih kurang berbunyi;

...."Sesungguhnya Allah Menyesatkan siapa yang Dia kehendaki dan Memberi petunjuk orang yang bertaubat kepadaNya," (iaitu) orang-orang yang beriman dan hati mereka menjadi tenteram dengan mengingat Allah. Ingatlah, hanya dengan mengingat Allah hati akan menjadi tenteram"

=)

My Sirah Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. reading is almost done. I intend to finish reading it before flying off to UK soon, insya Allah. To be honest, I don't want to finish it... hehehe.. but since it's not mine to keep (*whispers* it's Ness's), so with a heavy heart, I am aching to reach the ends of the pages. Insya Allah, mudahan mendapat berkat dan manfaat. I'm falling in love over and over again. Butterflies and tears comes hand in hand. The emotions are truly indescribable. Islam really is a beautiful religion. And our beloved Prophet is the best example of the kindest, most humblest, patient, (I can't even think of other words to describe him) man to sebarkan Agama Allah.

To know him is truly to love him more and more. (Note: READ SIRAH NABI MUHAMMAD S.A.W.)

Thanks to tarbiyah sessions with Ustaz Salam for the past few weeks, that has opened my heart and mind to learn more about Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. and his life. Thanks to my halaqah muslimahs for having the same 'tujuan' to better ourselves, insya Allah.

On a different note, I've ordered books from Malaysia via email. Alhamdulillah, within a week, the books arrived and I am keeping them in queue for my UK trip. Them are:

1. Jalan Dakwah Muslimah
2. Soalan untuk Wanita di Hari Kiamat

ps. Authors I don't know since the books are in my big bag. But insya Allah, mudahan mendapat manfaat dan dapat meningkatkan iman =)

note to self: Allah gives you what you need, not what you want ;) Allah knows best!! He is indeed the best planner...

"...dan boleh jadi kamu tidak menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia baik bagimu, dan boleh jadi kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia tidak baik bagimu. Allah Mengetahui, sedang kamu tidak mengetahui"
(Surah Al-Baqarah, Ayat 216)

Wallahu'alam.
