A New Start

Assalamualaikum everyone. Today, there's something that I'd like to point out; I don’t believe in compromising what Allah has clearly stated as wrong.  He’s our creator.  He KNOWS what’s best for us sebab Allah Maha Mengetahui.  Dalam Islam pun, there are certain instances where something 'haram' changes to 'harus', like when the only food available is khinzir and you’re about to die if you don’t eat anything. Even in this case, Islamic scholars have a thorough debate because menukar hukum isn’t something that should be taken lightly. So, who are we to so easily use our emotions and logic to dictate what Islam says right or wrong, when even the pros are having a hard time doing so? But then, I do want to point out that yes, we can have discussions to enhance our knowledge, because that creates awareness, but please be mindful of how you reply to comments and do refrain yourself from spreading hatred and giving out malicious ideas. Please keep yo...

Assalamualaikum! I'm currently packing my stuff up to send it back to Malaysia because I'll be moving out of my house for the third time in New Zealand since I am supposed to graduate this year. Anyway, right now I have to divide my stuff to several groups; 1. Stuff to throw away 2. Stuff to donate 3. Stuff to send back to Malaysia 4. Stuff to keep in New Zealand From all of this, the way I feel about throwing out my belongings is the worst feeling in the world because I am soooo attached to EVERYTHING omg! Every single item seems to hold it's own sentimental value in my heart. Don't get me wrong. I don't even like half of my stuff right now, but they all kinda hold some sort of memory that I'm actually too afraid to let go. Most of the stuff are the first items that I bought when I reached New Zealand 3 years ago. Some of it are; * My first shirt ~ That I got from my senior when I arrived to New Zealand, and it is CRAZY COMFY, but is now actually...

You were once my brightest light, The one that made everything feel alright. However down it felt when the clouds were upon me, You were there, present, deep in my thoughts. But now, the time has come for me to let you go, Because hopes are just empty dreams that will forever remain unmoved, Regardless of space and time. You’re the lingering light that I should set free, Because the world would shine brighter without me beside thee. As you move on, Never forget that in the end, You’ll forever be my brightest star, The one that  I’ll keep seeing in my dreams, Which are full of all my hopes and fantasy, Striving to fill that void of what my star had left before, within me. P/s: Never forget me.

Assalamualaikum everyone.. Today someone mentioned something interesting and I would just like to share my thoughts on it. The statement is as follows; “I AM A PROUD MUSLIM AND I VOTED YES TO SAME SEX MARRIAGE BECAUSE RELIGIOUS BELIEF SHOULD NOT JUSTIFY DISCRIMINATION..” I would not say who the speaker is, because that’s not the point. First things first, I would like to say that I’m not sure if I totally agree with this statement.. What I do believe is that no matter what, Islam would never allow us to agree with this. When Allah says it’s a sin, it’s a sin. Full stop. There’s no need to debate on it. But then, Islam does teach us TO BE KIND TO ONE ANOTHER.

Who knows if one day they’ll receive Hidayah and become better people th...

Assalamualaikum guys.. For the past few days, my club at the university (VicMuslims Club) had opened a booth where we promote Islam; having multiple activities like 'Try-a-Hijab', writing names in Arabic calligraphy, distributing free Quran translations, and etc.  One thing that stands out the most during the event was when we had one-to-one discussions with non-Muslims regarding religion, particularly Islam. What I had learned was that while Islam is perfect the way it is, people’s depiction of how religion should be and somehow thinking that they need to change certain things has resulted in what was initially already perfect to become lesser than what it actually was, i.e. the Sharia Law.  A guy came to VicMuslim’s booth and told us how he, who was initially a religious Christian, has decided that he’d be  well off being atheist due to the fact that the world today seems to be in war because of religion. Rather than living together in peace, extremist of religions...

Assalamualaikum everyone.. This video illustrates a beautiful way of looking at 'musibah', the problems you are facing in life. The one thing you should always remember is that Allah is the best planner. In whatever you're facing, trust in Allah. In the end, having peace in your heart is the best gift ever because you have the believe in your heart that in the end, everything is going to be fine. Why? Because you trust in Allah.

Assalamualaikum gaiss.. As a student who is about to enter 'the real world', which is adulthood, it's not uncommon to say that we seem to gain more and more responsibilities (and problems) as we age. But then, as Allah has said; لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا “Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear…” (Qur’an, 2:286). As a human being, being sad is fine. Being depressed is fine. Being disappointed is also fine. But then, Allah reminds us that everything will pass. The problem you're having right now is not going to be there forever. Allah wants us to move on, making sure that every single day is better than the previous one.  Even if it's not better, maintaining it is good enough, because at least, you've done something today, right?
