Being a Muslim

"This day have I perfected your religion for you,
completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for
you Islam as your religion." (5:3)

Alhamdulillah, there's not a day in my life have I not feel thankful
to be a born Muslim. However, I must say that my knowledge
in Islam is little. I took for granted most of the time,and there are
questions in my mind which I
long for an explanation, questions which
I am afraid of asking, for it might be answered with a stern warning.
Fortunately, I have been blessed to be able
to open up my mind and my heart to learn more about Islam, the beauty of Islam,
the logical reasoning of Islam, and the many teachings of Islam when I became a
friend to my fiance; we were in our Convocation week; he was still a
non Muslim back then, asking qustions about Islam, which, like many other Muslims,
I tend to conclusively not give the answer. Somehow rather, he made me reflect about those questions,
which I myself had never thought of and some which I myself long for an explanation.
Now, alhamdulillah I must say that I truly am thankful to
him, because he made me realise about many wonderful and amazing things in Islam
which I have often taken for granted. Everyday I learn more, going to usrah as many usrah
as possible (alhamdulillah, I do actually enjoy going to the classes). I am truly blessed
and syukur to be able to deepen my appreciation towards Islam. Although at some point in my life I
feel that life is ordinary, but learning more about Islam made me feel proud of being
a Muslim.
Islam is indeed, the perfect religion.


Lessons learnt. Never ignore questions that lingers in your head, you are free to ask,
free to accept and free to follow as long as it is not against the teachings of Quraan
and Sunnah :)

May Allah guide us all, Insya Allah.

Why do we fall? So we can LEARN to pick ourselves up..

In life we sometimes lament, we complain, we feel that life is unfair, we feel angry and unsatisfied about the issues in our life thats just too much for us to cope. It is unlikely that we soon realise how blessed we are, how syukur we would be to Allah the all Forgiving, all Knowing for every challenges in our life comes with a hikmah, insha Allah.

It doesn't matter how deep we fall, how hollow our heart is, how hurt our feelings are as long as we strive to be better, we kept being thankful to Allah, doa and believe in Him, insya Allah we will always be on the journey to the righteous path.

Perseverance is truly one of the greatest action that a Muslim/Muslimah can do. With it, insya Allah we will be able to cope with our daily 'challenges' and 'risks'. Striving hard to persevere means that we put our outmost effort to please Allah by doing the best that we could, everyday.

"Those who patiently persevere, will truly receive a reward without measure!" (39:10)

Alhamdullilah, it is clear how Allah state the reward for those who constantly striving to persevere, may He guide us all to the straight path, insya Allah.

To me, the poem below sums up just the right amount on how we should be thankful to Him always..

Forgive Me - Ahmed Bukhatir

Today, upon a bus,
I saw a girl with golden hair.
And wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and wore a crutch.
But as she passed, she smiled.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two legs the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I `d go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine.
I have blessed indeed, the world is mine.

I stopped to buy some candy.
The lad who sold it had such charm.
I talked with him, he seemed so glad.
If I were late, it `d do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me,
"I thank you, you've been so kind.
You see," he said, "I `m blind"
Oh God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two eyes the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I `d go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine.
I have blessed indeed, the world is mine.

I saw a child with eyes of blue.
He stood and watched the others play.
He did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word.
And then I knew. He couldn't hear.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine.
I have two ears the world is mine.

With feet to take me where I `d go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I'd know.
Oh God, forgive me when I whine.
I have blessed indeed, the world is mine

Promoting IIS Friendly Comparative Religion (FCR) class

Assalamualaikum! I’d like to invite you to join this very unique and interesting FCR class by Islam Information and Services (IIS) in Setiawangsa, Kuala Lumpur. I went to the class last year, it was held during the weekends (so basically ANYONE be it a revert or student or a Muslim who wants to learn about Islam; in a distinctive way, can join!). Speakers’ bro. Shah Kirit Kokulai Govindji, bro. Lim Jooi Soon and bro. Fauzi talks about the vast religion in Malaysia (there’s even a slot for Bible study; it’s an eye opener), and it’s pretty cool how they present the beauty of Islam (Insya Allah you will feel more thankful and syukur to be a Muslim/ Muslimah). It’s tremendously splendid, here’s a chance for you to go to meet Dr. Zakir Naik's ‘student’, a very heart warming bro. Shah. Also, there are usrah classes (which will be held on Thursday, once every two weeks) and an usrah on Sunday continuously. However, you have to attend the FCR classes before you are to go to these usrah classes. So go on, my brothers and sisters, join this interesting class, it’s worth every cent, you won’t regret it, insya Allah.
