Love your Kin (Part Two)

Story like this :

 Siblings like fighting and squabbling over land like properties and wealth over their parents; brothers and sisters who couldn't  stand each other presence families who slighted one another; cousins who badmouth their own sisters men who boycotted their brothers families; parent disowned their own children; relatives who backstabber; ridiculed and exposed d shame of each other; aunt who backbite and slander their own nieces and nephews; children who dont take care of their parents; uncles who cheated their nephews; brothers who ve not spoken for years; siblings who refused to visit one another; grandparents who refused to acknowledge their grandchild; brothers who swindled their own blood; and aunts who refuse to forgive relatives over d mistakes done even after so many years!
Na'udhubillah..


Have u heard of these kinds of stories too, peeps? Doesnt it make u wonder why is there so much trouble when it comes to kin's relationship?

Perhaps, this silly yet honest..

Families are like fudge mostly sweet with a few nuts

Funny, eh? I absolutely loved it from d 1st time I read it! And out of curiosity, I had to ask myself "which one am I?" The Fudge or The Nuts? (Dont answer that!)

Well, naturally we would always think that we are d fudge, u agree? All creamy and yummy!! No one would like to think that perhaps, possibly, maybe and probably, they could be d nuts of d family!

And what will happen if there are any problems between them? Who would apologize to whom. who would say sorry first and who would wait and see?

Ya Allah..Isnt this just d easiesr solution ever! So it really does not matter what my kin had done, still doing or might do to me in future, you agree? Why? Because it is really not about them! Its about me and if I am able to maintain my Lady Sarah graceful posture and reaction despite getting hit left right and center by Paparazzi!

Someone poke me!

Ouch!

Sis, I said poke, not pinch! (relax Sarah..remember life support,thicker, purses and deeper pockets!)

Okay,okay. Back to our suprise! Dont you think this is absolutely incredible?

Dear brothers and sisters..

If ur heart said yes to that, thn what u waiting for? Grab your keys and starts drivings to them. Knock on their doors and hug them.

Tell them that u love them, tell them that u'r sorry, and tell them you forgive..

Dear brothers and sisters..

Do it for you, do it for them and do it for Allah. Do it now while their hands are still warm and have not turned blue. Do it now before d clock strikes midnight. Do it now before they leave this world. Do it now before you exhale your last breath. Do it now before its too late. and do it now because you know that you dont know would leak d tears of guilt forever..

Now is d time my buddies, now.Do it, do it now..

Love Your Kin (Part One)

That day I was at my sis's place. As usual, her adorable loving kids were all over me. And I absolutely love all d hugging and kissing I can get from them too. They knew then what I was going to do next. Just like d magician who polls rabbits out of his hat, I too.

That got their sweet innocent faces brighten up light stunning dazzling sun during mid-day!

Needless to say, d magician's rabbit are in no way comparable..

But, hey, that’s right for my darling nieces and nephew as they’ve this awesome ability to get of whatever calories they consume within seconds.

Anyway, as I was dangling d yummy rabbits before their eyes it is a form torture for kids. I suddenly realized that I just made one of d most fundamental mistakes.

I accidently bought one of each kind. Yikes!

So now, d elder one wanted d pink wrapped chocolate, so did d youngest one. D middle child wanted d wafer I gave to the older one. And  d youngest one refused to give away her crispy in exchange for d pink wrapped chocolate she wanted so much.

Could you tell how many children are there?

Oh guys..what have I done?

Right then I was so tempted to use d 3 rules of siblings-ship.

If your siblings gets something you want, (1) you try to take it; (2)break it (3) say its no good

Hmmm, on second thought I don’t think it is such a good idea, you agree? Any of three would cause a rift between my little macrons, na’udhubillah.

They reminded mof something that day. I remembered a clear instruction our beloved Prophet; peace upon him once said:

“Whoever believes in Allah and the last day should maintain good retain with his kindred.”

SubhanAllah!

How mind boggling is this to know that as I announced that I believed in HIM, one of d things that HE has asked me to do is maintain good relations with His creations called kindred, right?

  

It is not what you look at that matters, it's what you see

Sunshines on my shoulders

Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy, 

sunshine in my eyes can make me cry.
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely, 

sunshine almost always makes me high.
 

If

I had a day that I could give you,

I'd give to you the day just like today. 

I had a song that I could sing for you, 

I'd sing a song to make you feel this way.

I had a tale that I could tell you, 

I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile.

I had a wish that I could wish for you,

I'd make a wish for sunshine for all the while.

From the complete blessings of Allah upon a servant is testing him with hardships and difficulties that force him to race towards His oneness. Because of this, he will supplicate to Him with sincerity. Hope in Him and no other. Trust in Him and no other. And love Him and no other to the extent that his experiences of faith, trust and love will be sweeter to him than having the trials of sickness and harm removed from him

Until this day, reading this makes me cry…

I found myself praying for peace today. I’ve been in and out of my mind a thousand times. I know You heard me.I know I wasn’t alone in that room,shaking with the fear of fear,the harrowing loneliness. I cried out to You on my hands. On my knees. With my face pushed down against the ground. If I could have gotten lower, I swear I would.Because that is helplessness, the truest kind…The kind that knows nothing, not one leaf, or tear, or smile can be without Him.

I learned something today. Again.

This is dunya. Dunya. Not a place of ease. Only glitter. The place where you have to feel cold and hungry.
The place where you have to worry and feel scared.The place where you have to leave the people you love.
Where you can’t get attached, because even if you do, it doesn’t make it stay, it just makes it hurt when it doesn’t.The place where happiness and sadness are only players, waiting for their next line in a play…
Competing for their place on stage.The place where gravity makes you fall, and frailty makes you bleed.
The place where sadness exists, because it must.


But I’m still here, aren’t I?

The scar on my flesh reminds me of that. The burn on my arm left a scar that I love. I love it because it reminds me how weak I am.

How human.

That I burn. That I bleed. That I break. That I scar. Yes. It is here that I am. Here that I fall. Here that I cry.
Here, just the same, that You filled that room, and lifted me to humbleness, and an acute knowledge of my own powerlessness and excruciating need for You.And then you took care of it.

Focus on getting better, not necessarily on achieving the best and as long as you do that, you are more likely to achieve what you want then if you had tried to do everything in one go. Real life teaches us to take small steps if we want to go anywhere. This is why we learn to turn over before we can learn to crawl and why we learn to crawl before we can learn to walk!

thousands reasons

Still, there's no way that gonna happen.

 "May Allah bless you for what you have done"

Huge relief. Pardon me if you think I'm rude/arrogant/selfish or whatever you wanna call it. You're not appreciate what I have done, but I just don't think its necessary. I now you might not be reading this, but it is a reminder for me and for anyone who is reading this.

I just don't think that is necessary to get closer with you. And I still have the same thought until now. But anyways thanks again for having such a noble heart since you're my buddies .

If you can help someone, dont hesitate to go for it because you will never have an idea how meaningful is the help for them.  Well I think the help I received which actually from Allah had made it a lot easier.

So the one that I should be thankful to is Him.

actually, that is the point of this entry :)

Whenever you feel low, recite this,

'Hasbunallah wa ni'mal wakeel,

ni'mal mawla wa ni'mal naseer'

#note to myself

p/s: still.. i have thousands reasons to smile.. kan? :)

:.the gift.:

 

If you really want to give

someone a gift,

try giving them

your time

and attention.

A loving heart

doesn't expect

anything

more than that.

 

mulakan dan endingkan hari

dengan alhamdulillah

dan senyum ok?

:)

best wishes.

worrying does not empty tomorrow of its troubles

it empties today of its strength

Begin with the end in mind..

Not everyone can be a doctor, but everyone can get sick soon or later... Everyone can be sick person but not a patient if there's no doctor or responsible person to take care of them.

And one more thing that he said that i could remember,

"It is misfortunate to be a patient, but it's even shameful and pitiful to be a sick person without anyone willing to treat you..."

in other word, I would say,

sometimes, you could feel a bit stress,

to be scheduled and planned by your naqib or murobbi, here and there,

but be thankful because there is still somebody that love you so much,

always wants the best for you, and most important,

would sacrifice, his/her time, energy, family, money..

to bring you closer to the Deen of Allah Swt...
