“Just remember, the next time you feel like turning your joy over to your enemy (the devil) or giving it away to someone who hurt you and disrupted your plans, keep in mind that our stops and our steps are determined by the All Knowing and the Most Merciful God” – Ustaz Tarmizi Wahid, ‘Your Stops and Steps’ Spiritual Confidence

Ustaz Tarmizi will be conducting ‘Spiritual Confidence’ Weekend Seminar this 16th and 17th June. To find out more, go to http://spiritualconfidence.asia/?page_id=19

“Bila nak berubah, kita harus ada sangka baik pada Allah. Allah pasti menerima taubat kita. Hadith Qudsi “Aku adalah berdasarkan apa yang hamba aku sangka tentang aku” Yakin bahawa Allah Ar Rahman Ar Rahman Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang.

Contoh orang muda akan kata “Susahlah nak merubah, baru rasa dunia” dan orang yang berumur kata “Susah lah nak berubah, dah lali”. Bukankah orang muda patut lagi mudah untuk berubah? Dan bukankah orang berumur lagi mudah untuk berubah (memandangkan dah merasa dunia)

Umur bukan alasan. Faktor umur tak penting. Yang penting, mesti bertaubat.

Bila kita ingin berubah, perkara utama, ialah sudah taubat. Kita mulakan segalanya dengan taubat (bermaksud kembali kepada Allah SWT, berazam untuk tak mengulangi) Tengah duduk seorang diri pun boleh taubat. Tengah duduk dalam MRT pun boleh taubat (dengan beristighfar). Taubat itu apabila kita rasa bersalah, menyesal dan sakit sikit dalam hati kerana rasa malu. Jangan pula nak tunggu solat taubat, baru nak taubat. Waktu terbaik ialah waktu tahajud.  Air mata ini melambangkan samaada diri kita masih ego atau tidak” – Ustaz Noor Deros in ‘Nur Kasih’, Warna 94.2FM on ‘Langkah-langkah menuju perubahan, kembali menjadi hamba Allah SWT’

For the past double weekend, this was the path I chose, going downhill under scorching hot sun and up the hill under bright moon all the way, some fourteen stations away from home. Each morning greeted me with some kind of deep self reflections throughout the long journey, meeting new faces with each session filled up with very tight and strict time management practiced over the four days.  We get into the class right on the dot, shared meals together together, prayed together, hugged each other in our tears of reflection and joy. This have brought me beyond just experiencing serenity of the heart. It carries a whole lot of new responsibility, new perspective, new ideas and renewed energy.  It was in this journey that I learn about myself even more than before, witnessing my own flaws and realizing my deepest fear, acknowledging the loss, the past and mistakes, accepting the fact that this journey will continue, and it is in this long walk that will lead me closer to what I hope and pray for insya Allah.

It is in getting lost that we will find our way. This dunia is meant for tests and it is in every ending that carries a new beginning.

Glorified is Allah. May Allah be pleased with us!

“If you feel dissapointed about the sin, Allah will revive your heart more than in your state of negligence” Shaykh Riad Ouarzazi, Heart Serene

“Situation will not become good until our amal become good. Once amal become good, Allah will fix things for us.  And our amal won’t be fix until we fix our heart” Shaykh Riad Ouarzazi, Heart Serene

 

“Don’t grieve at the shattering. He breaks you, to build you. Deprives you, to give you. This pain in your heart was created to make you yearn less for this life. And to yearn more for jennah. Allahu Akbar” – taken from Yasmin Mogahed

 

When sharing our good news, let’s learn to be sensitive over others’ silent bad news as well.

“Kita perlu untuk berubah dari ‘tak baik’ kepada ‘baik’, kemudian kepada ‘lagi baik’, kemudian, ‘lebih baik’, kemudian ‘sangat baik’ dan seterusnya ‘yang terbaik’ di mata Allah Subhanallahu Wata’ala” – Ustaz Noor Deros in ‘Nur Kasih’, Warna 942FM on ‘Perubahan’

“It is easy to fall into a state of worry and concern. We don’t know what’s going to happen, if we’ll still have a job next year, if our health will recover soon or if our relationships will heal and restore. But rest assured in knowing that what we don’t know, Allah knows. And in His knowledge, we place our trust. That after each hardship, ease. Ameen” – Ustaz Mizi Wahid, Safinah

3 minutes theraphy.

I was slightly disappointed when some things ended too fast, but was quick to remind myself that whatever that is not meant for us will be for someone else. It is in being happy for someone that makes me realise the test of sincerity. Whatever that comes out from this, will be the best in His will, not mine.
