Ramadan 1433H Post #01

“Often we find that the darkest times in our lives are followed by the most precious. Sometimes it’s at the moment when everything looks broken that something least expected lifts us and carries us through. Like the sun that rises at the end of the night, our dawn has come. In His infinite mercy, Allah has sent the light of Ramadan to erase the night. He has sent the month of the Qur’an so that He might elevate us and bring us from our isolation to His nearness. He has given us this blessed month to fill our emptiness, cure our loneliness, and end our soul’s poverty. He has sent us the dawn that we might find from darkness – light.”

- Yasmin Mogahed -



This quote shall start off my yearly ritual of Ramadan postings. :)

everything, everytime.

"there are two reasons why people don't talk about something:


either it doesn't mean anything,
or
it means everything."

(via uponafairytale)

for me, it has always been the latter.

it means too much for me to even start talking about it.

i have to learn to voice out my views & not be afraid of conflicts because i guess, only with conflicts do we grow. only by having these talks will all these baggage be free.

so give me time,

give me a chance,

make me feel safe,

and hear me out.

show that you want me.

that you want to hear me.

that what i have to say is important to you.

that i am important to you.

that i mean the world to you.

that you treasure me.
cherish me.
adore me.
love me.

show me.

for He knows what we know not

“God is a meticulous clockmaker. So precise is His order that everything on earth happens in its own time. Neither a minute late nor a minute early. And for everyone without exception, the clock works accurately. For each there is a time to love and a time to die.”  -- Shams of Tabriz

you think you can read my mind? ;p

dreams

"And then," he whispered, "as you were sleeping, you said my name. You spoke so clearly, at first I thought you’d woken. But you rolled over restlessly and mumbled my name once more, and sighed. The feeling that coursed through me than was unnerving, staggering. And I knew i couldn’t ignore you any longer."

(via uponafairytale)

I don't know why but Twilight will always remind me of you.

though i know you prefer Jacob to Edward. :p
just because Jacob has a nicer bod. *rolls eyes* HAHAHA.

and although i don't say your name when i sleep (well, at least i think i don't la.. haha) but i do dream about you sometimes.  
that's when,
i know,
i truly miss you.

who do you fight for?

Fight for the things (or people) you love.

Love the things worth fighting for.

"i cry because others are stupid and it makes me sad."

- Dr. Sheldon Cooper -

(via fyeahbigbangtheory)

hehehe. because he is just so funny like that. (i mean, fans of the big bang theory will understand.. ;p) 

watching him (& leonard, & wolowitz, & raj) never fail to make me laugh out loud. He has got to be my most favourite character on the show. :)

i tried watching the show once while on the bus (boy, was it hard to control myself.. cos, i can't laugh out loud in the bus! hahaha!) & i never, ever dared to watch it again, lest people around me thought i was crazy, smiling to myself. hurhur.

so i have my dates with dr. sheldon cooper confined to home. Lol!

will continue to be strong

there are times like tonight,

when the tears feel like flowing,

and there's nothing i can do to stop it.

"People cry not because they're weak,

it's because they've been strong for too long."

(via weheartit)

dear Allah, please keep me strong for a while more.

please i ask of You.

why should we?

forgive though you've been hurt

"I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they are going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I've learned that it's not what you have in your life but who you have in your life that counts. I've learned that you should never ruin an apology with an excuse."

(via littlemiss)

you are the reason why

(via uponafairytale)

he knew that ‘i love you’ also means ‘i love you more than anyone loves you, or had loved you, or will love you,’ and also, ‘i love you in a way that no one loves you, or has loved you, or will love you,’ and also, ‘i love you in a way that i love no one else, and never have loved anyone else, and never will love anyone else.’

so, what does your 'i ♥ you' mean?
;)

tell it well

(via icanread)

so that you may be understood.

always been

"Because for me, it’s always been you. Always. 

And I’ve tried to fight it and I’ve tried to deny it. But I can’t. 

You’re undeniable."

(via uponafairytale)

be persistent in doing the things He loves

"If you desire Allah to be persistent in granting you the thing you love, be persistent in doing the things He loves."


- Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal -

(via thebeautyofislam)

need to remind myself time & again.

again & again & again.
:(

Pursue a path in search of knowledge, God will make easy for you a path to paradise.

"If anyone removes (one of the) anxieties of this world from a believer, God will remove (one of the) anxieties from him on the Day of Resurrection; 

if one smooths the way for one who is destitute, God will smooth the way for him in this world and the next; 

and if anyone conceals the faults of a Muslim, God will conceal his faults in this world and the next. 

God helps a man as long as he helps his brother. 

If anyone pursues a path in search of knowledge, God will thereby make easy for him a path to paradise."

(HR Muslim)

(via thebeautyofislam)

Dear Allah,

please help me in all of the above.

Thank you.
