New Beginning

indeed
Assalamualaikum everyone,
The past 4 months have been amazing, unbelievable and just life-changing. Never in my wildest dreams, did I imagine any of these events happening, ever. And a part of me is glad I didn't. There's an element of gratefulness that comes out of the surprise and initial "shock". And that's life, it's unexpected but we need to have faith that everything happens for a reason, and Indeed they do. As Muslims, we believe in  pre-ordainment. That is, what Allah s.w.t. has pre-ordained for us, will definitely happen.
"Never will we be struck except by what Allah has decreed for us; He is our protector." And upon Allah let the believers rely."(Surah At-Tawbah:51)
Therefore, we should have faith in Allah and His plans for us, surely Allah knows best. “…and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you and that you like a thing which is bad for you. Allah knows but you do not know.” (Surah Baqarah: 216).
Al-Hasan al-Basri said: “Do not resent the calamities that come and the disasters that occur, for perhaps in something that you dislike will be your salvation, and perhaps in something that you prefer will be your doom.”
And so, I am here today by Allah's Grace and Mercy. Alhamdulillah. I'm just where I need to be. Coming here has allowed me to surround myself with people who love Allah and love each other for the sake of Allah. It is truly beautiful. I've always asked Allah for a sister, in turn, I now have a group of sisters. We're not bonded by blood, we've only just met, but yet, we're so close, bound by the same goal and purpose that is Jannatul Firdaus. In Shaa Allah. 
"And brought together their hearts. If you had spent all that is in the earth, you could not have brought their hearts together; but Allah brought them together. Indeed, He is Exalted in Might and Wise." (Surah Al'Anfal:63)
Masha'Allah. My sisters have inspired me to become a better Muslimah. In Shaa Allah. This is where my journey begins. Change starts from within.

Feeling restless?

Assalamualaikum everyone,  The heart is the most important part of our body. Actions speak louder than words. What we do reflects on the condition of our hearts. This could be interpreted in so many different ways. For instance, if we love something, if we are truly passionate towards it, we would do pretty much ANYTHING & EVERYTHING to obtain and achieve it..  Looking back on my life, all that I've done... why have I done it? What was the driving force?  It was always about achievements, success, titles, where I come from, I was.. what people would refer to as a "paper-chaser"... busy chasing and rushing after every single thing possible... every certificate, every trophy, ... yes everything... and anything to make me feel like I was worthy like I had achieved something. Like ... I was not a failure. But why? Why is it so important for me to feel like I was something... that I am somebody.... And why did I feel like I wasn't good enough?  ...

Islam vs islam- Is there a difference?

Assalamu'alaikum everyone, Islam is the religion, Muslims are those who are part of the religion Islam. Islam is PERFECT.. The Muslims? Not so much. We're only humans afterall... what do you expect? But wait..Is that how it should be? Should we just leave it the way it is? It's true we can never be perfect but that doesn't mean we should stop striving to be. Allah placed us on this earth for a reason: "..Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know.." [Surah Al-Baqarah:30]  We are .. put on this earth to be leaders! Not just to other people but to ourselves first and foremost!  In the above ayat, the angels mentioned the humans' capabilities of destruction and corruption.. And Allah answers by stating that Allah knows ...
