Me migrant

Live overseas

Thousand thousand miles away

Me migrant

Beyond borders

Mislaying smiles

Dawn to dusk then dawn again

Bearing sighs and a cry

Inner heart

Love, compassion, kindness

Lose their meaning

Be careful: no one here

And nobody

To see and know such pain

A little act of kindness goes a long way, that’s what they said.

It’s true. I used to think why goodness doesn’t comes to me even when I do multiple and random act of kindness. I’ve stopped feeling that way for a long time, but some times it triggers. Yes it does, and I’m not denying that feeling. Everyone of us somehow feel that way for a moment but we shrug it off, we have to brush it off. It’s unhealthy to expect something in return after the kindness we’ve done. We can’t expect things in return, we can’t, because it can disappoint you and hurt you.

What I know, by doing these little act of kindness, it makes others happy and therefore I am happy. I don’t expect to receive in return because I know Allah’s rewards is much more greater for me, in Akhirat (Hereafter). And not forgetting the little things that I’m blessed that Allah has given me such as the opportunity and ability to perform my prayers each time. Alhamdullilah. That, is already sufficient for me. Really, Alhamdulillah and that I know is the returns Allah has given me.

And each time I asked friends for their units, I will never fail to end with a Dua for Allah to bless this house, marriage and family. May Allah grant them happiness, strength and love. Amin. Maybe this is my destiny and path of life that Allah has given me, to keep on praying till I'm the one who's being prayed for.

Have you ever wondered why your stranded hair that falls suddenly clump to one corner of your room? It's like they have a secret meeting, trying to get to me or something. I know it's static and such, but this happens frequently. It's like they gang up on me, trying to defeat me or something. I'm being a paranoid but rest assured, when they combined together as one full force, they'll get you.

Nah, chill. Have a laugh please.

I may not have what I want in this life,

but Allah sure knows what I need,

to make others happy.

Therefore, I am happy.

Detachment is not that we do not own things, 

but that things do not own us.

- Yasmin Mogahed

A test is given to you not to destroy you.
But to let you learnt your weaknesses and develop you,

and to let you recognise your strength.

It may be painful, humiliating but that doesn't mean 

Allah dislike or punishing you. 

He is doing some adjustments so that your 

next journey will be the best of you.

Rahmatul lil-Alamin
(Mercy to the Worlds)

The Quran proclaims that Allah sent down the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) as mercy to all people of the worlds (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:107). His kindness and mercy even towards his enemies, who were after his blood, bears out the truth of the above Quranic assertion. Throughout his life he did not hit anyone, what to say of killing. It is on record that when the Makkan unbelievers persecution turned almost intolerable, someone suggested to the Prophet (peace be upon him) that he may curse them. To this He replied that his advent constituted mercy for the worlds. It did not, therefore, befit him to curse even die-hard unbelievers.

His mercy was reflected at its sharpest in his improving the plight of women, widows, orphans and the poor. His overflowing love for children also stemmed from his mercy.

This role model should set us on the path of love and kindness for our fellow human beings.

It's like I have a disease, most of the time!

Being in this industry has thought me a lot of things. To be kind to people, just about anyone. Be it the young or old, as well as different races and religions. Doesn't matter where we come from. All I know is that we all are in for the same thing, to get the work done. Therefore, we exercise safety and care. And not forgetting health as well as better ourselves with knowledge.

And most importantly, is the respect we have for one another. And being a female in this industry, I am so glad I am working in Singapore. It is safer and yes, I am that handful of a woman with the ability to endure the heat, dusty, noise and men. And that, makes us special. =)

اللَّهُمَّ لاَ سَهْلاً إِلّاَ مَا جَعَلّتَهٌ سَهْلاً وَأَنّتَ تَجّعَلَ الحَزَنَ إِذَا شِئتَ سَهْلاً

Allahumma la sahla illama ja-‘altahu sahla anta taj ‘alu al hazana eza ma shi’ta sahal.”

“Oh Allah! Nothing is easy except what you have made easy. If you wish, you can make the difficult easy."

لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا ٱلله مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ ٱلله
lā ʾilāha ʾillā llāh muḥammadun rasūlu llāh

"There is no god but God. Muhammad is the messenger of God."

لا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِالله 
Laa Hawla Wa Laa Quwwata Il-la Bil-laah

"There is neither might nor power except with Allah.”

Oh Allah, when I told you that nobody understands what I'm going through and what's in my heart, You then says:

الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَتَطْمَئِنُّ قُلُوبُهُمْ بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ ۗ أَلَا بِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ 

Allatheena amanoo watatmainnu quloobuhum bithikri Allahi ala bithikri Allahi tatmainnu alquloobu

Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah, 

unquestionably by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.

- Surah Ar-Ra'd, ayah 28

A little thought and a little 

kindness are often worth more 

than a great deal of money.

- John Ruskin

Trust will always be a key factor in prayer. Many people believe in Allah SWT, but how many actually have real trust in Him. Allah SWT says in the Quran:

"If Allah SWT helps you, none can overcome you; and if He forsake you, who is there after Him that can help you? And in Allah SWT (Alone) let believers put their trust."

Having the complete trust in Allah SWT is the ultimate symbol of faith. When things are not going the way you want them to, when your finances are down and your health conditions is poor, trust Him to make things better for you. You are praying to The Most Compassionate and The Most Merciful. Have faith, stay strong and endure just a little bit more. You may never know, but God's help might just be around the corner.

Surah Al-Qasas: ayah 24

What you allow,

is what will continue.

You can’t learn how to love without disappointments. 

You can’t learn gratitude without loss.

You can’t learn to appreciate abundance without lack.

You can’t learn companionship without lonely nights.

Learn to thank Allah, for He gives and takes.

- Ustaz Mizi Wahid

I learn to recite Al-fateha for the things or the people I’ve lost.

In a way, Allah send them to me for a purpose.
Maybe I have forgotten about Him. Astaghfirullah.
So therefore when I lost, Allah in a way remind me that

All that matters is Him, the One and only.

Thank you for reminding me, dear Allah.

Thank you for making me running back to you,

each and every time.

Alhamdullilah.

"So do not become weak [against your enemy], nor be sad, and you will be superior [in victory]..)" (Qur'an 3: 139)

To be the most beautiful woman in the world:

With your beauty, you are better than the sun; with your morals you are more sublime than musk; with your modesty you are nobler than the full moon; with your compassion you are more beneficial than rain. So, preserve your beauty with faith, your tranquility with contentment, your chastity with hijab. Remember that your adornment is not gold, silver or diamonds, rather, it is two rak'ahs at Fajr, going thirsty when you fast for Allah, con-cealed charity which no one knows except Him, hot tears that wash away sin, a lengthy prostration born of utter submission to Allah, shyness before Allah when the inclination to do evil over-whelms you. Clothe yourself with the garments of taqwa (piety) for you are the most beautiful woman in the world, even if your clothes are shabby. Clothe yourself with the cloak of modesty, for you are the most beautiful woman in the world even if you are barefoot. Beware of the life of bewitching immoral disbelieving women, for they are the fuel of the fire of Hell.

"None shall enter it save the most wretched." (Quran 92: 15)

"Wherever you go and find darkness in your life; what you have to do is to light the lamp within yourself."
