I SOUGHT CONSEL


I’ve sought counsel from numerous people – About me:
My life. My hurt. My pain. My joy. – On all the different things I see;
I went to them seeking counsel, in how to please the One above,

How to live a life for Him – not out of force – but love.
I’ve gotten the wrong advice, from more than I care to remember,
Advice that cut, bled, and scarred me – All which became a part of ‘I’

A part that is impossible to dismember.
But it comes to a point that I realize, their wrong counsel was essential
In removing a faulty foundation and showing me my true potential.
Without their bogus words, probably well intentioned,
I wouldn’t have appreciated the uplifting words.
Perhaps, would have ignored them when mentioned
Instead they sunk deep, straight to an aching heart,
Making more sense than ever, a feeling I hope will never part.

There are certain things that are not understood
Except through pain then redemption
Certain things that are not understood
Unless you are compelled to first question
Question everything you know, and everything you did.
Everything you heard and everything you believed in.
They say learning is a gift – no matter who the teacher.
Even if its teacher is pain – as long as it leads to a brighter future.

Ask God Now

This thought hit me so hard that I just can't ignore it and start to write again in this blog. You know what, think of the time when you were in trouble. Think of the time when you were sick. Think of the time when nothing went fine. Think of the time when your chest felt as if it would burst any second at any time. And remember how many times you called God to fix the thing for you. Remember how many times you asked God to make the way easy for you. Remember the time you asked God to lend you the strength to walk through the rough and cold season. And how many times did God answer your call? Every time! Each and every time! Some in ways that you can see it with your naked eye and some in ways that you could only understand if you have patience hold inside your soul. See, we are the living proof that God answers every prayer. But there will come a time when our call, our prayers will be ignored. And that's when we know everything is too late. When is that? When we alre...

hamba yang bertaubat..

Pada pandangan anda, apakah agak-agaknya darjat tertinggi Allah terhadap hamba-hambaNya?Pasti kita tertanya-tanya sedangkan amatlah mudah jawapannya.Apa lagi kalau bukan darjat kecintaan daripada Allah,Tuhan Sekalian Alam.Kecintaan  daripada Allah itulah yang menjadi dambaan dan buruan para Aulia’ Allah dan Siddiqin (orang-orang yang berada di atas jalan yang benar) kerna mereka tahu dan mengerti bahawa kehidupan mereka di atas dunia ini hanyalah persinggahan semata-mata.Mengapa saya katakan dunia ini cumalah persinggahan? Rasulullah bersabda: Hiduplah di dunia seakan-akan engkau adalah seorang pengembara atau orang yang sedang menumpang lalu (Riwayat Bukhari)                 Dalam kehidupan ini,apa lagi yang kita inginkan selain daripada kecintaan Allah SWT?Tanyalah iman di dada masing-masing,apakah kita mahu diri ini menjadi hamba yang sentiasa dikasihi dan dicintai...

5 Masalah Lidah

Apabila kita lebih banyak bercakap daripada banyak mendengar, kadang-kadang kita berlebih-lebihan. Jadi, sebagai peringatan, hendaklah kita memelihara lidah kita daripada perkara-perkara yang dilarang. Kejahatan lidah ini ada lima. 1. Berdusta- Berhati-hatilah dalam bercakap dan janganlah sehingga kita berdusta sama ada tentang kita mahupun tentang perkara yang lain. Tetapi sabda Nabi SAW bermaksud: Bukanlah dianggap pendusta orang yang mendamaikan antara manusia. 2. Mengumpat- Nabi SAW pernah bertanya kepada sahabat Baginda: Mahukah kamu aku ceritakan kepada kamu orang yang muflis? Sebenar-benar muflis itu adalah orang yang membawa amalan, tetapi amalan itu dituntut oleh orang lain kerana dia mengambil nyawa orang lain, hak orang lain, maruah orang lain. Dan apabila habis amalannya, diambil pula dosa orang lain dan diberikan kepadanya. 3. Mengingkari Janji- Rasulullah SAW bersabda, “Tanda-tanda orang munafik ada tiga, iaitu apabila dia berbicara dia berdusta, apabila ...
