Rain comes peltering down the railings outside, creating clanging rhythms...could tis be one last shower of blessings in this month of Ramadhan?

Tonite we'll hear the Takbir, another beautiful form of rhythm, with it comes serenity and a new month shall begin. Ramadhan will be gone, along with the abundance of blessings & mercy it brought along for the past month. This month has been full of ups & downs & in perseverance, we are able to tide things through and perhaps overcome our weaknesses which in other times, we are not able to pull off.

Alhamdulillah, for all the blessings that comes with every challenge
Alhamdulillah, for the opportunities to increase worship & wider doorways to charitable deeds
Alhamdulillah, for goodness all around despite the madness happening around

As Eid dawns ever nearer, may all our deeds be blessed by God & that inner peace be attained by all, through forgiveness & bonding. May relationship ties be strengthened, may sins & wrongdoings be forgiven, may we keep steadfast in every act of worship & may more rezki & barakah come our way....insya Allah!

I take this opportunity to wish every Muslim...Congratulations for every perseverance & patience that have been exercised throughout Ramadhan!
Have a Blessed Eid, minal aidin wal faidzin! 

may we see Ramadhan again next year...hopefully with a new role for me, to buck up to & be a better Muslimah! lookin forward to that...WooHoo!!

Happy Long Week End everyone~

Halfway through

Masya Allah...how time flies!
We are into halfway through Ramadhan now...how fast! how fast!
Ezsra commented that when we were young it felt like Ramadhan seems pretty long, i agree! Now it seems like we are fighting against time to put together our ibadah & all other activities in life in general. Ooo everyday seems like a rush...

So far, Ramadhan has been good for me with lil changes takin place here n there. Alhamdulillah for all that have been goin good in my life & hopefully the lives of many others around me despite the every day's lil struggles.

Tonite I received a sad news, that my cousin's paternal cousin has passed away. A considerably young man by the name of Rizal...Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un. May his passing in Ramadhan be good for his soul and may Allah grace His mercy on the loved ones he left behind.

I shudder for awhile thinkin how so easily our souls will juz get plucked away...Will I get to meet next Ramadhan, this joyous month of blessings & mercy? I could only pray for that.

As for now, as tis blessed month will soon pass us by...let us keep on seeking for God's forgiveness & keep on cleansing our tainted souls. Here's a lil exercise: Easy peasy

اللهم اغفر ذنوبي يا رب العالمين

 

Allahum maghfir dzunubi ya rabbal ‘aalamien

 

O Allah forgive my sins O The Lord of the universe

Oh btw, Happy Birthday Mr Fyz, belated Happy Birthday cuzzin Sitz & Yati & advanced Happy Birthday to the many September babies in my contacts as well!

Maksud singkatan ' A'kum'

Ok i'm not exactly sure if tis is true as i don't know Hebrew and when i try to google it up, most sites lead to Malay-Muslim owned blogs spreadin the same message but to be safe, let's not use the abbreviation to greet each other. Salam or the actual long form,Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, would definitely bring proper blessings to us. If it's true, then it's seriously tragic if we keep greeting each other as Slaves to Animals & Misguided people! Eeks!

Anyone who came across this article & knows Hebrew, pls define the meaning of Avde Kokhavim U Mazzalot. much thanx!

The Prohibited Pork

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Other

My colleagues recently asked me why consuming Pork is Prohibited by Islam, I cannot quote or lift anything off the Quran for reasons. Aside from being told that pigs are hosts to parasites & are dirty in the sense they are scavengers, I do not know how else to explain. I stumbled upon this vid tonite, by a Christian pastor Mr Joel Osteen, perhaps he has some answers,as well as Dr Zakir Naik, who explains a lil bit more details on the parasites in pigs.

Well, whatever the reason may be...Wallahu a'lam(God knows best), and as Muslims, since we believe that God only choose the best for His faithful servants, it is best that we comply to what he forbids.

Subhanallah!

Thanx Hana for sharing!

Makan Makan before Ramadhan

Makan makan dates before the fasting month starts!

It was a Friday nite double date@Fika Swedish Cafe & Bistro with Yanni & Azmi. Had a great time listenin to their Greek honeymoon experiences & browsin their pics before our swedish meatballs, hash & grilled salmon arrived! Sure did fired up my infatuation with that ancient land again! Even Iyuan was charmed by Santorini & Mykonos!

Next up...a belated birthday celebration for Mr Man Bitch at the Grand Strait restaurant & a chill out session at Old Town Coffee in JB. Glad that I could catch up with my lesbos & the lads...good food & good company makes cranky Sophie...happy!

Thank u for a lovely week end my dears :)

It was worth it while it lasted

I couldn't agree more with Dee.

It pains to see people fall out especially knowing that things actually could have been mended by a simple thing called COMMUNICATION. I think this is by far, the most important thing in any relationship. The loss of such leads to no trust, no love & what was once somethin beautifully lively & inspiring end up becomin somethin so painful to swallow & to bear.

I may sound a tad harsh but i guess what is there left to hold on to when there is no room for an honest conversation between 2 persons, who despite caring for each other they just cannot communicate further? and what friendship can grow from toxic assumptions & hearin from naysayers without a need of understanding each other & tryin to see beyond each others' faults & weaknesses?

If only initiatives were put to good use. if only fear & self-interest were less of a hindrance. if only...nevertheless, que sera sera....
