Have you ever try to reminisce about your past? and did you notice a pattern?
Dr. Aid al qarni in his famous book "La TAHZAN" said that ones should not think about the past because it will cause sad and grieve. But sometimes in my opinion there is nothing wrong when you want to tell about history so that no one will repeat the same mistake.Because this is the attitude of a muslim; he will try his best to avoid doing the same mistake over and over again.
So let's get back to the pattern. I have observed this pattern for quite a time (throughout my life time)and I kind of appreciating it now i guess.
Before I continue, i would like to ask a question. is that true that this life is so hard? For me if you ask me that question during my hard time, i will definitely say yes. But if you ask me during a right time; such as on a day i'm getting married, without hesitation i will say no. Life is so happily ever Here-after (AFTER you died of course aka paradise).
This concept explicitly explained by Allah in the glorious Quran " Verily with every hardship comes ease"[94:5]
when actually we remember this verse or ever want to Quote this verse on our fb status or ym status?
For me if i'm sad i will remember this verse and i will forget it (the verse) when i'm not sad. This humane. No one is perfect and not even me.
One friend once prayed for me to ask Allah to make me more mature. you know what's in my mind when i read his/her statement?
"what on heaven she/he thinks of. I'm not mature Enough!!!"
Well until now i dont know what's his/her definition of mature. Mature is so subjective so although i was angry with that kind of prayer of her/his but now i think i started to appreciate the prayer.
Talking about prayer there is a good lecture by Abu Ammar YASIR qadhi on youtube. ask Allah anything and Allah will surely grant it.Even when ummu-mu'minin Aisyah R.A saw a man with a snapped shoes (Tali kasut terputus apa nak cakap yerk), she said to that guy to ask Allah to replace the rope of the shoes.
In order to get close to Allah you should frequently ask HIM.
There is one sister that always asking me to pray for her so that Allah makes easy for her to continue her Phd. So far Alhadulillah she is so near to her target.
Last summer for example when i was set up the library, i Always looked at my clock to see whether it's already lunch time. Sometimes i bring my own lunch but sometimes I was not that free to prepare one. On the day i couldnt prepare the lunch I always pray to ALLAH to give me food for lunch. As far as my memory can call, lunch was not an issue.Alhamdulillah
I even asking for 'weird stuff' and its really happened. Last summer I travelled to the library by train.One day on the way back (night time) I pray to Allah
"O Allah i been travelling in this train for quite a while now. But no girl wants to be my friend nor talk to me" Actually i just joking around at that time since the train is partly empty and i just want to entertain myself.
You know what happened next? About 30 seconds later two girls came to me to ask about Direction. I explained to them and we chatted a bit.Then one of them asked me one killer Question?
"Do you have a girlfriend?" i said " no"
" Can i Be your girlfriend?"
oh no. its really happened. my prayer is answered. but what was my answer? Of course i said no. They are just 9 year old girl!
Also last summer last summer when i take the train and walk to the centre from the train station i always said this " O Allah give me a car so that i can benefit this religion if it is good for me" Alhamdlillah I got a car now and alhamdulillah a good one.
So i'm asking all of you to pray to Allah to put barakah in my car so that i can learn the knowledge of Allah and do the da'wah.
Allah is always near. never feel lonely anymore (saying this to myself)
Before i end this, saya minta maaf kalau ada menyakitkan hati sesiapa sahaja ynag mengenali diri ini. Bersabarlah dengan perangai budak yang belum matang ni.

AMYN centre Library
Asalamualaykum,
AMYN centre islamic library. this was the project I been working out during my last summer holiday. Compromises of two separate sections for brothers and sisters, this library is one of its kind to offer islamic reading material to the public.
To setup this library was not an easy task. Since we had no experience at all, we just learning things by errors, Research, discussion and innovation (my first copyright for my ulul albab guide to AMYN library book). All of the hard work now need some push to put it on the starting line. Yeah the journey not ends yet, it's just started.
Along the way i met with many circumstances,learned lot of things, I gained respect and also humility, learned to be resistance to some weaknesses I had, and most of all i made friends and brotherhood. So many things i had last summer and i cant describe it with my plain english.
WASALAM
