KNOWING FAKHIRA

  The song by Sami Yusuf entitled Make Me Strong was published on 2012. It is a great masterpiece that story about an ordinary man who asked God to facilitate his affairs and requests. Every request and desire of a human being can be obtained, but sometimes there are difficult things and by nature we will ask God to make our affairs easier. This journey of life is not easy, we must always ask and pray to God because He is the Almighty and willed over something. Aside from asking for life’s journey to be made easier, the right journey should also always be aimed at. Sometimes we will be careless and deviate from the truth. Always pray to God to always direct our hearts to the good and keep away from the bad. Life is mystery, we never know what will going happen to us in next day. Only God that know our future and all the plans.  We might wondering everyday, how can I be strong with any provisions and destiny because it is the secret until the day has come. Everyday we are seeki...

Each of us will facing lot of challenges and difficulties in life. Sometimes our plan doesn't go as it should be, sometimes we felt sad for nothing, sometimes random disaster occurs to us and many more. We could never expect what will happen for next year, next month, next day or even next 5 minutes which made us not ready with few challenges.  As a Muslim we are blessed with many chances, every time we are facing difficulties we can pray. We have Allah to rely on, to express feelings and problems and seek help from Him. The power of prayers cannot be denied. Whenever we are remembering Allah, He promised that we will feel calm.   أَلَا بِذِكْرِ ٱللَّهِ تَطْمَئِنُّ ٱلْقُلُوبُ ٢٨ Surah Ar-Ra'd: 28 Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allāh hearts are assured Every test that was given is just a challenge and not a sign that Allah hates us. Being grateful to Allah and keep remembering Him will help to ease our burden. 

  A normal human being, make sins everyday. We never escape from making mistakes in the world. These sins have become black spots in our hearts and make them sick. This video from Yasmin Mogahed gives us an awareness of this. Sometimes we are feeling doubtful in doing good deeds or obeying amar ma'ruf and nahi munkar when it is obviously an obligation for us as it was mentioned in the Quran. The reason of this doubtful because of our sins, the increasing number of sins everyday made us getting lost from the Truth.  Thus, there is the most powerful word, which can help us to cure the sickness of our heart, to repent from our mistakes.  Istighfar: Astaghfirullahal'azim  Istighfar cleanse our bad, sickness and sin away. By istighfar we will always remember to seek forgiveness from Allah which is a must for us as a Muslim. May Allah grant us His forgiveness. Even a woman that in her period can do istighfar , no reason for us to leave it. InsyaAllah we will feel calmer...

  كن أنت  Be Yourself These words are my comfort words and very meaningful to my life. As someone that sometimes having low self-esteem and not confident, I often say to myself: Be Yourself. In this era, the social media portrays lot of people lifestyle that made us insecure and want to be like somebody else. When actually we are already living the best life with our family and friends.  Be Yourself, reminds us to be grateful, be confident, appreciate ourself and love ourself. We are beautiful, kind and successful in our way. Being grateful will help to boost our confidence and be ourself.
