~ Secercah Kasih Yang Terpendam ~

Once upon a time.... I told Rumaysa to stop Playing with the tap and water in the bathroom (she loves playing with the water) and she kept saying "noo mama.. Nooooo..." (Imagine drama scene) Using a slightly elevated tone of voice, I told Rumaysa: "if you don't stop and don't listen to mama, I will send you to the thinking corner for 2 minutes!!!". Well.... Theoritically (lol) I shouldn't address the issue using an elevated tone. I should have calm, cool, collected. Yeah!! One of those days. And then came Nusaybah reminding and addressing me (using teacher type of tone- calm and low pitch) "Mama, it's not nice to speak like that to your own child... You should not shout, you should speak nicely, Allah wont be happy with you... So now say sorry to Rumaysa.." Mak nyessssss!!!! (Apa ya Bahasa Inggrisnya??)  It changed my mood instantly! I was so happy with the way she "handled" me and the situation. I smile at Nusaybah and follow her...

I posted this on my Facebook on November 16! And apparently the person I talked about on the following status knew that I talked about her 😉 and that i I dedicated the status for her!  too sweet, init?? !!! And I was searching and searching the answer of this feeling and finally I got it. It gives me satisfaction and put my quest to rest. You can read the answer at the end of this post ------ I was in the gathering and expected her to come  and turn up. It's been a few weeks I haven't seen her but I deeply missed her.  As soon as she walked in the room, I felt the warmth of her presence and I couldn't help not to smile although she didn't notice it. I can describe my happiness as if I meet an old friend for the first time after years of separation.  We didn't exchange words, but once we catch up, the flow of our conversation can be endless. I feel like she gets me. she's funny, intelligent, and very sensible. I value greatly her advice on many issues. I can rel...

A must read story of the not so prominent Sahabee – Julay’beeb رضي الله عنهم.   It is narrated in the Books of History that Julay’beeb رضي الله عنهم was a Sahabee who was: • short in height • deformed in appearance • his lineage was not known • no one knew who his parents had been • with no clan to protect him • no tribe willing to accept him as their own • he cut a lonely figure even the small children of Madinah would tease & mock him • owing to his disabilities no one would allow him to sit in their company. He survived as best he could, many a lonely night in Madinah he spent wondering the streets in despair, tears of desperation would run down his cheeks, there was no one willing to offer him love or compassion, he had no family & not a single friend in the world. Life for him was a lonely struggle. After the arrival of the Prophet of Allaah ﷺ to Madinah, the fortunes of Julay’beeb رضي الله عنهم changed. He would go & sit in the company of the Prophet ﷺ & liste...

I believe there will be a point in our life that will define who we are. those points can be the time of hardship as well as the time of ease ior even a single short conversation with someone you recently know. That's one of the moment I experience today! الحمد لله رب العالمين  I spoke to a sister whom I knew recently and we share about the worry we have on how much time we invest to build our relationship with Allah while we also try to build the next generations (our children). Often, we (me specifically) miss to have the time to just sit and recite Quran as long as we want to, pray as khusyu' as we want to, contemplate on life without any distruction but she said one sentence that it's not the first time I heard but this time it just click and make sense more than ever before. "This is just a phase we have to go through sis, soon the kids will grow up and being independent then we can pick up on what we left off.  for the time being,  keep remind yourself that we ar...
