Nikah before Nikah

Last night I went to a relative's nikah ceremony. Her pangkat to me should be makcik... always see her during bigggg family gatherings and all. Not that close to her lah tapi, but its ok :)

The more important thing is we all shared her happiness~ and her family's happiness =) and we dua the best for both her and her husband, may they be amongst those loved by Allah~ be servants of Allah who are taat and pious and blessed with soleh and solehah children.

Gollum (Lord of the Rings II)

The topic on what I wrote yesterday was brought into inspiration when I watched Lord of the rings 2 (The Two Towers) which was aired on Channel 5 last night. I wouldn't write much about the story nor characters as I shall leave the reader to it. Though what I could 'learn' from the character Gollum was never to lose Hope on the Mercy of God. Hope is not lost, as long as there is life. For Allah said, "My Door of Mercy closes when the soul of a man is at his throat". (nahwa hakaza)

In another hadith,
Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
أن النبي ‏ ‏صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ ‏قال لما خلق الله الخلق كتب في كتابه فهو عنده فوق العرش ‏ ‏إن رحمتي تغلب غضبي ‏
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: When Allah created the creation He put down in his Book, which is with Him upon the Throne: Verily, My mercy predominates My wrath.

In the story, the character Gollum lost all hope when he convinced himself that he was a thief, a liar and a murderer. He also said that 'Nobody likes you... You don't have any friends'.

Sometimes it is good to remind ourselves that hope on Allah's Mercy will always be there. Allah will open His Doors of Forgiveness as long as we are sincere in our tawbat and promise Allah not to commit the past sins.

we pray to Allah for a good end, we pray to Allah for a good end, we pray to Allah for a good end.
And We seek the protection of Allah from a bad end.

Amin.

Light of Life :)

"And love is the breeze of dreams
I believe in the kingdom of heaven,

And we do dream of heaven...
There is no god but Allah."

enfants (angelic voices...)

Vois sur ton chemin
Gamins oubliés égarés
Donne leur la main
Pour les mener
Vers d'autres lendemains
Donne leur la main
Pour les mener
Vers d'autres lendemains

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire
Ardeur de la vie
De la vie
Sentier de gloire
Sentir de gloire

Bonheurs enfantins
Trop vite oubliés effacés
Une lumière dorée
Brille sans fin
Tout au bout du chemin
Vite oubliés effacés
Une lumière dorée
Brille sans fin

Sens au coeur de la nuit
L'onde d'espoir
Ardeur de la vie
Sentier de gloire
Ardeur de la vie
De la vie
Sentier de gloire
Sentir de gloire

--------------------------
See on your way
Stray forgotten kids
Give them a hand
To carry them out
Towards another day

Feel in the heart of the night
The wave of hope
Heat of life
Path of glory

Childish happinesses
Too much quickly forgotten, oblitherated
A gilded light shines without end
All at the end of the road

Feel in the heart of the night
The wave of hope
Heat of life
Path of glory

the strangest experience (jgn tido asar)

"Sleep during the time of 'Asr for 40 days consequtively, and you will go insane".
This was a hadith, an advice of Rasulullah s.a.w. (translated through its meaning, by me, nahwa hakaza).

And it is to be appreciated as true. The most recent experience I had of this was just now when I slept; (because I was 'so tired') at about 6.30pm, with the intention of waking up again for Maghrib.

I slept and I felt that it must be my soul really went somewhere.
Because it was a good sleep. 'Log' habis, nyenyak and sound indeed :p

But when my sister woke me up, my memory was affected kind of 'very badly'.
I woke up thinking it was already Subuh, the next day. I even checked my handphone time and even though it showed 7:30 PM, I was still dazed. Perhaps I had not woke up fully yet. I checked my wall clock and convinced myself it was 6:30am, Tuesday, and I should go and bath and get ready for school.
I also convinced myself that my handphone time settings must be wrong so I even reminded myself to re-set it later -.-

After my shower, (and I had showered before I slept) I re-checked my handphone, wanting to re-set the time correctly. I was still confused. I checked the skies outside ('why is it still so dark?') I stared at my wall clock again ('kul brape ni? handphone ke clock rosak ni?')

it was so bad. kire lama gila and it was when i thought sadly 'eh aku missed maghrib and ishak'... baru I figured out that it was actually MAGHRIB, 7:45PM and I could still PRAY.

moral of the story is, its true what Rasulullah s.a.w said, "Do not sleep in the time of Asr".
It really will affect your mind....
My sister said it will affect your memory (when I shared this with her). 'Memang kalau kau tido asar nanti bangun mcm lupa-lupa'.

Actually I had experienced something like this before too. But just now was the longest-to-realize and most rabak i think :/

InsyaAllah, after this I will try not to sleep during that time anymore

Anything else to share regarding this? :) Please do.

Anyway how's your rayer everyone? I still receive duit collection hehe.
I had a good time with mostly my family and cousins.
Hari Raya is still indeed, the best time to gather again and meet-up and catch up after a full year without doing so (especially for far relatives :)

It is also to remind each other and the people we love, that the Ultimate Love is Allah and we, as family, should always remember Allah; pray to Allah to help us all always. For our families who have passed away, remember they are still 'alive' and we, the living, should remember to pray for them too.

Ja'alanaAllahu minkum man tanalu Syafa'atah. Amin.
