My Mahr
Hiba Ammar writes: ...
When my father proposed to my mother… He dedicated Surah Al-Imran, which he memorized of heart, as her “Mahr” (dowry)
And when my husband proposed to me, my father told him that he would have to memorize a surah of the Quran as my mahr.. The wedding will not go on unless i’v received my mahr
I was asked to pick one of the surahs… I chose Surah Al-Noor… For all the laws that Surah contained within it and for the fact that it seemed hard to memorize on my behalf.
And before our wedding day; aside of being busy preparing for our “Newly wedded Nest”… The Quran wouldn’t leave my husband’s hand an entire month as he was memorizing the surah…
A few day before our wedding day, my husband came to recite to my father the surah which he had completed.
My father told him every time u make a mistake, u would have to start from the beginning all over again :))
My husband began reciting surah Al-Noor with his calm/gentle voice in such a “beautiful” scene which I will never forget. My mother and I would look at one another and would smile awaiting my husband to make a mistake so he would have to start all over again and by that increase my “Reward”…
But my husband - May Allah bless him - had memorized the surah off heart and didn’t even forget one single verse of it.
Once he finished my father hugged him and said to him: “Today I shall marry my daughter to u for u have fulfilled her mahr.. and your pledge to me..”
He didn’t pay me a financial mahr… And we didn’t buy gold worth tens of thousands…
He sufficed me with Allah’s words as an oath/contract between us…
And the Question is…. I wonder what Surah my daughter will chose as her mahr in the future?
Love this story.ma sha Allah~
see,marriage is easy but people make it so complicated.actually many of us (the adults) can afford to get married but they couldnt get married because usually the girl side will demand many expensive things especially hantaran.the nikah suppose to be simple and easy,in fact it will be more barakah.it pleases Allah.so what about my Mahr? what i want for my Mahr?
I want my future husband to recite Surah Ar-Rahman as my Mahr in sha Allah.May Allah ease my affairs.whoever u are dear future husband,just recite me a surah then u will get me in sha Allah <3

"Until i have enough imaan to pull it off."
I hear a lot of people saying they don't want to commit to something until their imaan is at a certain level.Now,theres nothing wrong with that but sometimes it just isn't the right approach.Imaan is something that constantly rising and falling;it isn't constant.Its something that u won't ever really satisfied with because theres always a room for improvement.If u want to do something which is good then do it.don't wait for that 100% certainty that u'll never reach.dont wait for that perfect level of imaan.just do it.if its genuinely for the sake of Allah,know that He has your back and He will not abandon u.we need to stop making excuses for ourselves for commitment to obedience.
in sha Allah.

We call ourselves Muslims but we dont act like one(!)
We call ourselves Muslims but we don't act like one? Why?
we don't greet the sisters/brothers in Islam with Salaam or visit the sick or give charity to the needy people.Why?When we mention about memorising the book of Allah,most of us feel like its a burden.Why?and we still dare to say we are Muslims.I personally don't get it.
We are Muslims by name but we never act like one.we pray five times a day but theres no khusyu'.we pay zakat but most of us don't know the reason why we must do it.most of us take it so lightly about the law of Allah.the halal and haram are all mixed up and really never take it seriously and we still can call ourselves Muslims? aren't we ashame of ourselves?
i don't get it.we act more like kuffar.the way we speak,eat,behave,dress is more like the kuffar.why?
we dont even know the names of the Sahabah but most of us really memorise all the names of the kuffar celebrities.why?most of us can't differentiate between the halaal and the haraam.it makes me so sad when most of us take it so lightly.i mean,we dont take the law of Allah seriously.its like nothing to us.why?shouldn't we start acting and living as a Muslim?i mean its our own religion but we dont practice according to the teachings of Islam.we should start reflecting upon ourselves.its really shameful enough for us,born as Muslims but we don't act like one.its really shameful.
and i don't get it why most people sees practicing muslims as pious or religious type.they will start saying "narrow-minded" etc.is it wrong for us or for me personally to practice Islam properly? i am a muslim so i am trying to follow Allah's rules,trying to follow it according to the teachings of Islam.is it a sin?in fact,we should all be that way.its not fair for us or for me personally being labelled as pious or religious and people sees me as if i did something wrong.however its very weird and funny for those who dont practice Islam being called as "open-minded" or "liberal".what is this nonsense? Allahu musta'an.

Allah's Promise
"Allah promise is the truth,and whose word can be truer that Allah's?"
(Quran 4:122)
Allah will never break His promise so be patient and stay firm upon this Deen of His.Keep on doing good deeds,seek His pleasures and never ever earn His wrath.the path will get tougher and harder,harsh and ugly but dont be despair.Allah is there.Have faith in Allah,He will make it easier for us all in sha Allah.stay strong till the end.Remember our aim is Jannah.Allah will definitely place those whom obey Him.may Allah make ease our affairs and may we be among those who obey Him and may we be in Jannatul Firdaus in sha Allah ameen.

The Popular Way or The Correct Way
Islam is perfect.it is not about following our desires like what we think its right for the religion,therefore,we do it.NO.There’s the speech of Allah(Al-Quran) and As Sunnah (authentic ones).we hear and we obey.khalas.theres no such thing as “it depends” when it comes to the religion.who are we to sugar coat the religion? like i said,Islam is perfect.Allah has perfected the religion.if by adding or subtracting something from the religion,are we saying that we are better than Allah Azza Wa Jaal? ponder and reflect.strictly follow Rasulullah’s sunnah.AUTHENTIC SUNNAH.if you say you love Rasulullah,then why are you doing something that Rasulullah didn’t do it before? All of these Bid’ah has gotta go and we really need to revive the sunnah.adhere the Al-Quran and As Sunnah firmly ya ihkwan.so what if the majority are doing it?that doesn’t mean it is correct.what happen to ‘we hear and we obey’?like i said,follow strictly Rasulullah Authentic sunnahs.
"….This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion." Surah Al-Ma’idah:3
The Prophet salallahu ’alayhi wassalam said, “Adhere very closely to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided successors after me; bite on to it with your molar teeth, and beware of the newly invented matters. [Authentic; recorded by Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidthi.]

Hypocrite
Shaykh Rabee bin Haadi Al-Madkhali (hafidhahullaah ta'ala) said,"The companions were not amazed by their righteous actions,their worship and night prayer.Nor did they say:the fact that we prayed at night then we are deserving of paradise!As some foolish ones think such as the innovators and misguided ones!!" Ibn Abi Mualaika said"I have met thirty Companions of the Messenger salallahu 'alayhi wassalam and all of them feared hypocricy for themselves." [Ahmed 2/237][Muslim 588].Hasan said"none fears it except a believer and none feels secure from it except a hypocrite" [Fath 1/134].This was to being so careful and far away from falling into amazement with one's self and actions,hence they were afraid of falling into hypocricy.Are we like that O'Brothers?!Do we find this spirit and feeling that we fear for ourselves?!!

Calamity
If the servant of Allah knows that he cannot escape nor change the plan of Allah, he will commit all his affairs to Allah and throw himself between His hands as a humble servant throws himself between the hands of a Mighty King who has authority over him- and indeed the servant has no power of his own. When the servant knows all that, he will be relieved from all distress and sadness and will pass the burden to Allah who does not care or get tired. Allah will carry them, and show him kindness and mercy without any tiredness. The servant has paid attention to Allah alone and Allah paid attention to the needs and benefits of his life and emptied his heart from them, and, as a result, his life will be good and his heart will be happy.

Reminder
تزول عن الدنيا فإنك لا تدري **إذا جن عليك الليل هل تعيش إلى الفجر
You are fading away from the world whilst you do not know; if you are enshrouded by the night, will you live until the morning?
فكم من صحيح مات من غير علة **وكم من سقيم عاش حينا من الدهر
For how many were the healthy people who died without a reason; and how many were the sick people who lived for a long time.
وكم من فتى أمسى وأصبح ضاحكا **وأكفانه في الغيب تنسج وهو لا يدري
And how many were the youth who spent the morning and evening in laughter, unaware that their shrouds were being woven.
وكم من صغار يرتجى طول عمرهم ** وقد أدخلت أجسامهم ظلمة القبر
And how many were the young boys whose long lives were being anticipated, but indeed their bodies were entered into the darkness of the grave.
وكم من عروس زينوها لزوجها ** وقد قبضت أرواحهم ليلة القدر
And how many were the brides who adorned themselves for their husbands, but their souls were snatched on the appointed night.
فمن عاش ألفا وألفين **فلا بد من يوم يسير إلى القبر
So whoever lives for 1000 or 2000 years, there will be a day where they must go to the grave.
-Imam Alshafi’i (Rahimahullaah)

1st day of syawal
Assalamualaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh ^^
eid is here like finally!!alhamdulilah wa syukrilah.finally we meet again the month of syawal.Ahlan Wa Sahlan! ^^
well today it didnt start off that good.
planned to go to the mosque to solat eid with abi and akhi but abi said cannot because of the rain.
i was so sad like really sad but i couldnt reply to him so i just kept quiet.
then help ummi to clean the house and filled the containers with kuih-muih.
aftr that ard 12.30pm we siap-siap and bermaaf-maafan.believe it or not i still havent give ummi the letter.i couldnt do it.allahu musta'an.in sha Allah i will give it to her.
but ummi told me that she hope that our family will improve to be better.ameen allahumma ameen ya ummi :')
ard 2pm we went off to woodlands to meet ummi's sister,my aunty.really had an awesome time with the love ones. <3
and this is the first time i give duit raye to the kids.sooo ma sha Allah the feeling. i feel so old but its so funny plus irritating when everyone said,'aik budak kecik kasi duit raye?' -_-
around 6pm we went off to yishun to meet nyai my grandmother.. it was lovely as usual.biler part bermaaf-maafan tu confirm cry2.. mcm waajib gitu.. but me,i maintain.i tk nangis.to me,its sunnah la.hahhaa ok sembarang je aku ni :p
after that we went home ard 9pm..
when i reached home i found out that i give the wrong duit raye envelope to some people.really paisey coz its my first yr and i screw up everthing gitu. really hope those ppl wont get mad at me.tak sengaje wallah :/ will give them again in sha Allah!
so eid is here guys..ma sha Allah.. overall my first day of eid is good.not great but good.
so dah feeling2 raye ni kan,jangan lupe puasa enam ok in sha Allah ^^
Fasting six days of Shaawal after the obligatory fast of Ramadhan is Sunnah Mustahabbah,not wajib.It is recommended for the Muslim to fast six days of Shawaal and in this there is a great virtu and an immense reward.Whoever fasts these six days will have recorded for him a reward if he had fasted a whole year,as was reported in a sahih hadith from the Prophet salallahu 'alayhi wassalam.Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah salallahu 'alayhi wassalam said:" Wheover fasts Ramadhan and follows it with six days of Shawaal,it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime."
[Narrated by Muslim,Abu Dawud,at-Tirmidhi,an-Nisa'i and Ibn Majah]
in sha Allah we will fast ok? ameen! thats all for now.assalamualaykum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Be firm upon your religion O Muslim!
Don't be scared about what people will say.Be firm about your religion and be proud and grateful that Allah made you a muslim,
The uncle of 'Uthmaan ibn 'Affaan used to wrap 'Uthmaan in a mat of palm leaves and set fire under him yet he was firm.
Ibn Umm Mus'ab was starved by his mother and then kicked out of the house and was tortured yet he remained firm.
Bilaal was dragged through streets,beaten,tortured with heavy stones and starved yet he remained firm.
Yaasir Aboo 'Ammaar was killed due to being tortured as well as Sumayyah who was killed by Abee Jahl himself.
'Ammaar ibn Yaasir was tortured and forced to curse the Prophet yet he remained firm upon the religion of Allah.
Aflah was dragged and layed down on hot sand with a stone on his back so he couldn't move until he nearly died but he was firm.
Khabbaab was tortured,dragged by his hair,twisted by the neck and thrown into fire and burnt by it yet he remained firm.
Zanirah ,an-Nahdiyyah,Umm 'Ubays and many other women from the Sahabah were tortured yet they remained firm.
Others were dragged into the hot sun,had iron put on them with boulders on top to fry in the sun yet they remained firm.
Now you tell me you cannot follow your religion because the Kuffar give you dirty looks?Compare that to what happened with the Sahabah!
Who is torturing you,O Muslim?No one.When you feel you are in hardship,think of the Sahabah and you'll realise you are in ease.

Islam: Ramadhan
O Month of Ramadhan,be gentle.
The tears of the lovers are pouring down.
Their hearts due to the pain of departure are being torn.
Maybe a moment for farewell would put down that which the fire of longing burnt.
Maybe an hour of repentance and refrain would patch the fasting that was disfigured.
Maybe a cut off person from the convoy of the accepted can catch up.
Maybe the prisoner of his sins can be freed.
Maybe the one who deserved fire can be spared.
