Heartwarming

Something I found on the infinite World Wide Web. :)

Haish, I love Islam lah. It's so heartwarming to know that Allah is so accessible, to know that He's always there when you need him... and to know that it is actually so easy to get his blessing.

I always thought Istikharah is exclusively for marriage purposes. I was dead wrong.

So when you meet that Junction of Uncertainties, do Istikharah. InsyaAllah, what you feel after Istikharah is a feeling blessed by Him and not some imaginary play of the devil.

You hate your job, you want to quit? Do Istikharah!

You have always wanted that trip to Acapulco but it will bust your savings account? Do Istikharah!

You think you have no direction in life? Do Istikharah!

And of course, you like that guy...should you go for it? Do Istikharah! :p

Allah knows best, Wallahualam.

When Confused, Read This

I don't like to be in a relationship. Caring about someone takes too much out of me that sometimes I think it is totally unnecessary. So to me, you being in a relationship is pretty much equivalent to you investing in the current Indian Stock Market.

Hence, I dodge and I avoid.

But then came this one person that told me this with great honesty.

"Why can't you just redha and bertawakkal with what ever feelings Allah has bestowed you and stop denying what is real."

When I heard that, I fumbled.

All these while, I thought by dodging attraction, I'm keeping safe from lust and I'm avoiding the empowerment of nafsu.

But boy do I fail to realize the other angle of this story. Never in my life have I ever tawakkal to Allah when it comes to matter of the heart. I have always depended on my Pros and Cons list. Thinking that the mind is more sensible than then heart. But I have forgotten that ultimately, Allah is controller of fate.

And fate is beyond my Pros and Cons list.

The wisdom shared by that person has reminded me that Allah knows best.

So lesson learnt. I will live life to the fullest, pray the hardest and at the end of the day, come what may, all I need to do is Tawakkal to Allah. Because Allah knows best.
