♥ Ketika wanita menangis, Itu bukan bererti dia sedang mengeluarkan senjata terampuhnya, Melainkan bererti dia sedang mengeluarkan senjata terakhirnya...
Ketika wanita menangis, Itu bukan bererti dia tidak berusaha menahannya, Melainkan kerana pertahanannya sudah tidak mampu lagi membendung air matanya...
Ketika wanita menangis, Itu bukan kerana dia ingin terlihat lemah, Melainkan kerana dia sudah tidak sanggup berpura-pura kuat... ♥
A woman is special, created from Adam's ribs; not created from his head to top him, nor his feet to be stepped upon. She was made from his side to be close to him, from beneath his arm to be protected by him and near his heart to be loved by him. So treat her gently and love her dearly, for she is a strong yet delicate soul; and truly, the best of you men are the ones who are just and gentle with those around you... :)
Salaam... I hope all of you are well, insyaAllah. I don't know about you, but I am still in disbelief that in three days' time, us Muslims would be celebrating Eid-ul Fitr. Ya Allah, how time flies! +_+ Regardless, I sincerely hope that Ramadhan's been treating you kind and that it has blessed you and your loved ones with plenty of barrakat and joy, insyaAllah. The month of Syawal is gonna arrive soon; hence I hope it would help strengthen our relationship with our loved ones and blessed us all with more love, patience and joy, Ameen. :)

I know it's hard to smile when we're facing a tough battle; but even our beloved Prophet SAW could smile when he is tested with hardships that is even bigger than ours...then why can't we braved ourselves and try to smile..? :)
Senyumlah wahai kawanku, Kesatlah air matamu dan senyumlah kerana Setiap ujian yang diturunkan pasti bersebab dan mempunyai seribu satu hikmah yang tersirat disebaliknya... Masakan Allah menguji dirimu sekiranya DIA tidak percaya bawaha engkau mampu mengatasinya, Masakan DIA menguji dirimu sekiranya DIA tidak menyayangimu.. Kerna sayanglah, DIA tiap kali menguji dirimu; supaya engkau tidak leka, supaya engkau sentiasa mengingatiNYA Maka tabahkanlah hatimu, dan kuatkanlah dirimu Agar engkau lebih sabar mengharungi segala dugaanNya Agar engkau lebih redha untuk menghadapi semua perancangan yang telah ditetapkan olehNYA, Kerana percayalah sesungguhnya, kita manusia hanya boleh merancang, tetapi DIAlah yang berkuasa untuk menentukannya... Maka senyumlah kawanku, kerana percayalah DIA sememangnya amat menyayangi dirimu... <3
Always have faith that HE 'blessed' you with plenty of obstacles and challenges because HE loves you. If you see Allah, Mighty and Magnificent, holding back this world from you, frequently trying you with adversity and tribulation, do know that you hold a great status with HIM. Know that he is dealing with you as HE does with HIS ‘Awliya and chosen elite, and is watching over you.
"So wait steadfastly for the judgement of your Lord - you are certainly before our eyes..." [Surah At-Tur; 52:48]
So my friends; everytime you are faced with an obstacle that is burdening you - try to smile; because that means HE loves you and cares for you..and that also means, HE remembers you..and wants you to remember HIM too.. <3
Song playing in the background: Beyonce's "Best Thing I Never Had"
I was in the car when I first listened to this song, the lyrics caught my attention and I couldn't help but smile. Beyonce's songs are always *almost* inspirational. She always knows how to empower women and get them through certain difficult and heartbreaking situations. "Irreplaceable" got me through my heartache. I played that song over & over again, till I felt a LOT better.
Singing at the top of my lungs that "You must not know 'bout me, you must not know 'bout me, I can have another you in a minute, matter fact he'll be here in a minute..baby.." made me feel so semangat! Lol. Kononnya, that is MY way of moving on, like hey, don't worry but I'm gonna be just FINE! You hurt me, and you seemed to think that I ain't gonna be able to move on, and you're gonna be sorry! :b
*Reality is, lol - If I had a chance, I don't think I'd want another him, and when I sang that song, it was nothing personal. But it was the only way I knew how to express my hurt and disappointment of yet another failed relationship.* :)
Ive grown a lot over the years; both spiritually and mentally. *I'd like to say physically too, but hey who am I kidding right?* -_-"
Years have passed, and I'm now much happier *Alhamdulillah* and more matured. I now realized that, perhaps the reason why I went through those ordeals was to make me a better person, to make me stronger, more attentive to my surroundings and the people that I hold close to my heart. Of course it hurts, but hey, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger kan? Furthermore, I believe that there's a reason why a heart breaks. It breaks because it needs to be put back together by the right person when the time is right. So have patience, owkay? In due time, HE'll blessed you with someone who knows your worth *insyaAllah* :))
Having said that, experiencing those 'sticky' situations usually would make one closer to HIM. Because ultimately, the only one who could make you feel better is the CREATOR. It is HIM we should seek when we are in doubt, and it is HIM we should turn to when we are in pain. We might not understand why it happened to us and felt as though he is punishing us but believe me when I say that, when GOD takes away something from your hand, don't think HE's punishing you for HE is merely emptying your hand, for you to receive something better. GOD is fair and HE knows BEST, even though you might not like and accept the situation that has happened to you..
"You may dislike something although it is good for you, or like something although it is bad for you: GOD knows and you do not.." [Al-Baqarah, 216]
I've been told that when bad things happens to you, you should question your relationship with HIM and reflect on the things that you've done in the past. Because sometimes the real reason why you are put through those challenges is to make you closer to HIM...let HIM take control of your life; for we can plan but GOD is indeed the BEST planner.
I saw this in Tumblr, and it touched my heart...
"Suddenly I somehow know that my life did not need to be this way and that GOD had something better for me. I felt him gently whisper these words to my soul: 'You continue to get your heart broken because you are holding the pen of your life and trying to write your own story. I am the Author of love. I am the Creator of romance. I know your heart's every desire. I want to script a beautiful tale just for you, but first you must give the pen to me. You must let ME become the center of your existence. You must let ME have total control of your love life, and every other area of your life as well..."
Beautiful isn't it? I'll let you reflect on that yourself... :)
Much love from me <3
.Salaam.
p.s. I love this cover of Beyonce's song, have a listen to it... :)
In love and life, there are a lot of trial and errors. Some obstacles that we faced would bring us triumph while others might lead to unwanted results. However, for each and every pain/heartbreak that we go through - we should all be aware that there are perfectly good reasons behind them, though we might not be able to understand why at that particular moment. Have the belief that those challenges are only given to you because Allah knows that your faith is strong enough to get through them.
Trust me when I tell you this; that Allah only removes something from your life to make room for something better. And sometimes HE would take away the better to give you HIS best. So stay strong and have faith in HIM and yourself; for with each difficulty in life, there is surely ease. And for each supplication you make, there would be great reward from the Al-Mighty - so gather your strength and have patience, for insyaAllah you would be rewarded handsomely when the time comes...
Oh Allah…
I told you: I’m in pain
You said: ‘Do not despair of the mercy of Allah’ (39:53)
I told you: Nobody knows what is in my heart
You said: ‘Verily, in the remembrance of Allah do hearts find rest’ (13:28)
I told you: Many people hurt me
You said: ‘So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them’ (3:159)
I told you: I feel I’m alone
You said: ‘We are closer to him than [his] jugular vein’ (50:16)
I told you: My sins are so many
You said: ‘And who can forgive sins except Allah?’ (3:135)
I told you: Do not leave me
You said: ‘So remember Me; I will remember you…’ (2:152)
I told you: I’m facing a lot of difficulties in life
You said: ‘And whoever fears Allah – He will make for him a way out’ (65:2)
I told you: I have many dreams that I want to come true
You said: ‘Call upon Me; I will respond to you.’ (40:60)
So you see, Allah never fails us & HE would always be there for us, in good times and bad times, in sickness and in health...and unlike marriage, even death can't ever tear our relationship away from HIM cause HE is our creator and indeed, HE knows BEST...so turn to HIM when you are in trouble, seek for HIS help when you are in doubt; and last but not least, never ever forget to thank HIM when you are blessed by HIS kindness and love...
