New Beginning

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.
