Menginsafi 2013

Don’t deprive someone of hope for perhaps that is all they have at that moment. Be someone who encourages; be a friend who inspires, a relative who supports, and a stranger who is kind. Grant people hope for perhaps that is all they have to make it through, and in turn Allah will fulfill your hopes and help you make it through…” – Fajr

   Have a blessed year ahead....Selamat Tahun Baru 2014 

Some Quotes....

“Allah created for every person two eyes but most people do not see except from one eye. And He created for every person one tongue and two ears, but most people speak using two tongues and listen with just one ear. And He created for every person two hands; one hand to help himself, and another hand to help others, but most people use only one hand. And He created for every person two legs; one leg to strive with for the world and another leg to strive with for the Hereafter, but most people use only one leg. And He created for every person one heart to carry the concerns of his short life, but he brings upon himself (other) concerns which would overburden many hearts. And He created for every person one life, but he wastes his time as if he has been granted a hundred lives. And Allah has decreed upon every person that he should die only once, but out of ignorance and wretchedness, he is happy to let himself die every day.”

Do not let it overburden you

It is said that a man who was overburdened by worries went to a wise man and said, “I’ve come to you because I can’t find a solution or a way out of the problems I’m in.” The wise man said to him, “I will ask you two questions and I want you to answer them both.” The man said,“Ask.”

He said, “Did you come into this world with all these problems?”

He said, “No!”

He said, “Will you leave this world taking all these problems with you?”

He said, “No!”

He said, “A matter that you did not come with, nor will you leave with… it’s more appropriate that it need not take all this energy from you nor overburden you like this. Be patient over the matters of this world, and let your gaze towards the heavens be longer than your gaze towards the earth, and you will soon have what you wish for.”
