When we're lost...

Sometimes we juz got stuck out there. dunno what 2 do. In confusion. Stare at nothing particular, coz ur juz thinking around. Usually, in these cases.. I would ask my frenz for their opinions. Many frenz, many people 2 ask. alhamdulillah. =)

But I say... Asking frenz... thts not enough folks. u know, u hv a wide opportunity to ask Allah The-All-Knowing. Really. How?? ur asking me how? put ur palms 2gether, juz in front of u n start ur doa. =)

The doa, as I was told.. It is a weapon. N a great 1 2!! for us Muslims.. For instance.... I asked some frenz for opinions on whatevr which was on my mind. N I got some ideas, brilliant ones I say.. coz I hv such wonderful brilliant frenz alhamdulillah. ( according 2 Allah). Allah is our Creator. Allah is All-Knowing. We can go asking around like what I do, but finally... to whom should we go 2? To Allah! Allah knows everythg, whats clear, whats hidden, whats within our hearts.. Alhamdulillah. We r not alone in this world.. Allah is always there 4 us. I mean each n 1 of us. =)

Once there were theses ladies.. asking us... 'does god really care abt us?' Of course Allah cares abt us! I mean, yeah.. Come on. Open not only ur eyes, but even ur hearts. Allah was there for us the moment we we bornt... Up till now. And Allah still cares abt us. We're slaves of Allah.. But Allah The-Most-High is giving us much more than u cn imagine. Seriously. U think I'm kidding. Look around u.. N be grateful. Alhamdulillah.

Like one of my frenz said, maybe Allah is juz testing us... When we hv some kind of problems... Somethg bothering us. When we're in a tense position. When we're lost.. When we got confused or anythg... To whom will we turn 2. Frenz eyh?? Not exactly. Opinions by discussions, theyre gud really. But the truth lies in Allah. yup. no kidding. Come on ever1, keep ur hands up n let us use our weapon.. lets recite the doa! InsyaAllah. WAllahualam.

Salman Al-Farisi

Who is he? He is a noble companion of Prophet Muhammad saw. My naqibah told me his story not too long ago. Now let me insyaAllah tell u his story =)

One day while passing by a church, Salman Al-Farisi was attracted by the voices of men praying. He ventured in and found that Christianity better than his religion (Majusi). When he learned that Christianity originated from Syria,he left home, against his father's wishes, went to Syria n associated with many Christian teachers, who one by one taught him the religion. After a long while Salman Al-Farisi came to know regarding the coming of the last Prophet (Muhammad saw) and the signs that accompanied his advent.

Salman Al-Farisi then travelled to Hijaz, where he was seized, sold into slavery. He was taken to Madina n eventually met Prophet Muhammad saw. When he found in Prophet Muhammad saw the fulfillment of all the signs of which he had been informed, he affirmed the Syahadah. N so that was how he became a Muslim.

Sry for making the story short. Actually his journey from the moment he left his father till he found Prophet Muhammad saw was really long. He sacrificed what he had, left his father, n went on searching for the truth, the true religion till he actually became a Muslim. Alhamdulillah. It shows really, when we are really2 seeking for the truth, Allah shows us the way, gives us hidayah, n we gradually gets near to it. InsyaAllah.

Now, my story. Abt a week ago some of my sisters (in Islam) arrived from moscow. N they conducted an usrah for us. Alhamdulillah, it refreshes us. I feel NEW!! haha.. anyway, they many time asked us to hv a visit to moscow. I thought for a long time. Its not like me to travel around like that. But when I thought abt Salman Al-Farisi. yea, I should be like him. Seek for the truth. Much more to learn. Then I had 2nd thoughts. N finally yea, ask prmission for my boss (my mum), she's ok with it, alhamdulillah. So insyaAllah next year. March maybe. Wanna go to moscow!! wanna meet some friends n most importantly... I wanna get sumthg, sumthg significant. Knowledge maybe, regarding Islam.

N recently, juz today. A fren was telling me abt another fren. She said that he gradually changed alhamdulillah, for the better. N I told him what she said. N he said maybe its bcoz of the talaqi that he followed. Talaqi?? Yea, she mentioned it to me, quite a long time ago. N she said it was great, she learned many things out of it. N now this guy n another guy (his best fren) (they r both my xclassmates anw), they said great things abt this program. Talaqi. What is it like? It is that wonderful to learn through talaqi. N this guy fren, he invited me to join the talaqi when I come back from winter break. hmm... I dont know. I feel like I wanna. But hmm... Like I said, I should be like Salman Al-Farisi. To strive for knowledge.. waiting is not really n option. Gotta find it, n go n grab it while I hv the chance. U know what I mean?? Oh. Come on LYDIAAA!!!
