Declaration Of War On Terror

-IZING ASSIGNMENTS. I'll win it, insyaAllah.

The to-do lists. Pasted on the studying wall, so any appetite for holidaying is killed. Congrats, dear self.

And so, warfare makes for a lesson, the hard way.

The war on self-destructibility, would be a dart on the bullseye. The assignments are not the villains, if you care to rethink.

How does that one-liner go again? Life's a climb, but the view is beautiful. Or rather, the abyss is grim. Try not to fall down. 

Of course that's not the way to see it, right?

No, it's not the abyss, not the peak. Not the climb either. The question is not what and how. It's who you do it for.

It's His blessings and your family's happiness that can keep you planting your feet forward. Not your own appetite for success, dear self, being the unambitious person that you are. 

Oh blessings, I'm one of those people lucky enough to have homeworks and catching up with studies as my primary focus for the time being.

But sad to say, being yours truly, I'm still trying to resist the temptation to kick back in leisure. 

Oh perseverance, it's time for your rare performances in my stage. And oh brain, please just cooperate? Time to justify your part in bringing me here.

What have I been mumbling about? About my duties? About my attempt at self-motivation?

Out of the question, right? So scratch it off. Screw the complications.

I don't need an answer. Because I made so many promises, and that knowledge is more than enough.

And oh yes. Assalamualaikum :)

The Real Durratun Jannah

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

I will not write a memoir of her. At least not yet.

Because my humble ability can never dream to justify how much she means to us.

I will never use past tense for her, because she is already immortalized in our hearts.

She didn't leave us.

She just went before us. All of us are going to that place, inevitably.

It's just a matter of whether we would be qualified for a place in jannah alongside this sinless little angel.

Love: Not Always Rainbows and Butterflies

Then do ye remember Me; I will remember you. Be grateful to Me, and reject not Faith. O ye who believe! seek help with patient perseverance and prayer; for Allah is with those who patiently persevere. And say not of those who are slain in the way of Allah. "They are dead." Nay, they are living, though ye perceive (it) not. Be sure we shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of your toil), but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere, Who say, when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah We belong, and to Him is our return":- They are those on whom (Descend) blessings from Allah, and Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance.

Noble Quran 2: 152-157

Or do ye think that ye shall enter the Garden (of bliss) without such (trials) as came to those who passed away before you? they encountered suffering and adversity, and were so shaken in spirit that even the Messenger and those of faith who were with him cried: "When (will come) the help of Allah." Ah! Verily, the help of Allah is (always) near!

Noble Quran 2 : 214

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."

Noble Quran 2 : 286

Kukatakan kepada diri, "Allah lebih menyayanginya"
Baru kusedari yang rupanya Allah lebih menyayangiku.

Jika inilah jalan yang engkau pilih untukku mendapat keredhaanMu, maka aku bersyukur.
