Fear

What’s your biggest fear? With all I’ve been through, I fear Allah is not pleased with me when I die. I know exactly how a heart can easily change. I lived decades of my life with very little iman, 24/7 all I had in mind was only worldly things. I was not a bad person, I did not do evils

Ramadan 2018

It’s about time, don’t you agree? 🙂 To begin with, I always believe covering the head and neck ( besides all the body except face and hands) is a must for a muslim woman. Even when I myself wore above the knee skirt and short running pants. I know there’s some school of thoughts that say hijab is not necessary.

4.0

Forty. 40. How does it sound to you? Does it scare you to reach 40? Does it scare me to reach 40? I guess I’ve never been too worried about getting older. If there is one thing I’m worried so much about being old, it is losing a part of my memory. But to be scared for physically getting old, which means

Recharged

[February 2018] Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah. A much needed trip.     A year has gone in a blink of an eye. The world spins so fast and how much of it that we really spent wisely? That additional one year we got, granted we will be asked about how we lived it. Personally, I had gone through quite a lot

A ten minutes clip of NAK’s lecture to ponder upon the favours of Allah, The Compassionate, The Beneficent (Ar Rahman).   Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny? – QS Ar Rahman (55) , repeated 31 times in a chapter of 78 verses     For me, Ar Rahman is one of those surah(s) that are

Almost Blind, by NAK

Almost half a year ago, I saved this note written by Nouman Ali Khan on his Facebook wall. I can’t remember the exact time, it’s either during Ramadan or slightly before. When I read it the first time, .. I cried. I thought, wow, it was such an honest piece of writing. A note he was writing in the middle

12 years

Alhamdulillah, this November we celebrate our 12th anniversary. Definitely not a short time and I wish we still have many years of togetherness to come. Aamiin. 12 years! Where has the time gone? 12 years and I still couldn’t write words of love 🙂 The truth is I’m not even sure if love is what makes us survive the marriage up

Tokyo Bay Skyline

Let’s just say, I was lucky that by chance, my husband and his team got rooms at Hilt0n Tokyo Odaiba for their three weeks stay in Tokyo. A bit surprised because initially I had thought he would stay somewhere in central with all the hustle and bustle that characterise Tokyo. As we always stayed in Shinjuku every time we had

N A R A & K O B E

[28 January, 2017] Second instalment of our Japan Trip series. I’ve decided to post one or two cities in a post instead of writing a usual travel journal. I know people getting tired with seeing everyone holidaying in Japan these past few years 😀 , and for us, since it was our fourth Japan trip and we revisited a couple

on a race

I remember those days, not so long ago, where I could miss obligatory prayers without much guilt. Countless dzuhur and maghrib prayers had been neglected, usually during weekend. Also, I remember at time where I used to shamefully approve my own self to do jama’ shalat ( combined two obligatory prayers in a time) very so often, and yes before you
