2007, what a year, what a year...Last year on the last day of 2006, i blogged abt how solemn a day it was...Saddam was hanged and it was also Eid ul Adha, a day to reflect on sacrifice, perseverance and struggles. Who would have known that the year that follows, paints that same picture for me. This whole year has been a rollercoasted ride, with me facing many many personal challenges, discoverin more emotions, making more decisions, taking more chances and perhaps shouldering tis overwhelming responsibility that impacted all aspects of my life and the people around me...
Many a time I felt helpless and wish to wake up to a brighter better tomorrow...many a time, it didn't happen and life goes on and despite feeling like i could juz crumble away many a time too, I realise that tis year, had it not been for the Grace, Blessings, Patience, Strength & perhaps Luck bestowed on me from The Almighty, i would probably not grow & pull thru these difficult times beautifully, though yes, i make mistakes, bitch alot, felt so numbed, turned cold & probably hurt the ones dearest to my heart.
Let me share with you, one of the most Powerful reminder & prayer from the Quran, that has kept me goin thru all these times tis year...and God willing, may tis be good for u too!
"On no soul doth Allah place a burden greater than it can bear. It gets every good that it earns, and it suffers every ill that it earns. (Pray:) "Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget or fall into error; our Lord! Lay not on us a burden Like that which Thou didst lay on those before us; Our Lord! Lay not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Blot out our sins, and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us. Thou art our Protector; Help us against those who stand against faith." [Al-Baqarah:286]
Amin amin ya Rabbal 'Alamin
