A New Start

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?

Hi again! Every year, New Zealand will be having a Sakura Festival at Palmerston North, cue to the Sakura blooming of course. So, my friends and I decided to have a sakura-themed-photoshoot-session, and I've decided with the throwing-flowers-above-your-head pose because I'm #lame. Anyway, this is a screenshot of the video; I had too much fun shooting this!  For someone who's playing alone, I shouldn't be looking so happy. 😂  Right after this trip, I actually started getting ill and was kind of bed-ridden for about a month. I did go to the compulsory classes though, but that was it. I had a bad fever and rashes appeared all over my body. It was a dreadful experience. Then, I finally decided to visit the clinic because I wasn't getting any better. Finally, the predicament was that I'm actually allergic to pollen. It doesn't sound that bad, but for someone who has eczema and hay fever, I wasn't even allowed to step out of the house for too ...

Assalamualaikum everyone! This is actually a picture taken 2 years ago.  It was totally freezing and I couldn't feel my hands, nor my face. Plus, the snow was veeerrryyy slippery, hence the reason why I was standing awkwardly (I didn't want to slip and die).  It was actually the first and last time I went snowboarding. Not something I'd repeat though, but it's totally worth trying. Your whole body is going to be aching for over 2 weeks after, if you ever decide to give snowboarding try, but the experience is what matters, okay. 😉 I may not have been the best snowboard-er, but at least I had fun while doing it, right? So, that's all from me... Assalamualikum and byeeee..! Source: http://www.snowboardsteez.com
