EMPTY THE HEART FOR ALLAH AND HE WILL FILL IT.
15th RAMADHAN 1433H
It's been 15th days since we had our fasting. Alhamdulillah, despite all the stress at work, I managed to overcome it. Infact, no matter how low or sad I am during this Ramadhan, the salah, the kiblat, the sejadah gives me the strength to overcome it.
The power of Salah cannot be explained, but it can be experienced.
This month, my feelings have been playing with me. At a point of time where my dreams seems to be surreal, it made me smile throughout the entire day. At some time, it literally brought me down and i just kept myself quiet the entire day. Funny as it seems that we women are always following our feelings, instincts and 6th sense.
I often think that my stress at work, wedding preparation is a burden to me that I can't wait for all of it to end and all I could think of is the blue sea and the relaxation that I need. Probably, a vacation. But never did I think that the worry of people from other countries - die from starvation, hoping to survive with just a drop of water.
Not only the worries of starvation, there are people in these EARTH were unemployed, down with serious illness, loss of love ones that probably lead them to sadness and depression.
Today, I will try my best to boost up and give moral support to people out there who think that ending their lives is better than living through it.
There's a saying that says "You don't understand what I'm going through. No one will understand"
I know there are some things/issues/problems that I may not understand but do not forget that WE as a MUSLIM, we have ALLAH S.W.T 24/7 with us.
We seek help from HIM. HE never fails to hear our cries, our worries and often gives us the strength to carry on with our daily lives.
“
لاَ تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ اللّهَ مَعَنَا
Do not be sad, verily Allah is with us.
”

Al Quran [9:40]
How beautiful this phrase from the Quran is. Knowing that we should not be sad, for Allah is with us. Always know that He IS with us and InshaAllah the sadness that you have will dissipate. Ameen.

Things happened for a reason. We loss something. We gain something. ALLAH will never test us beyond our will.
"When ALLAH desires good for someone, HE tries them with hardship." - Muhammad PBUH
Pain doesn't feel good when it happens, but ALLAH knows that it may be the best thing for us that moment. And sometimes we may be praying so hard for stuffs, and ALLAH knows how bad it is for us . ALLAH knows and we do not.
Be Patient. Indeed the patient will be given their rewards without measure. Put your trust in ALLAH. Believe in HIM. Have faith in HIM.
Be Sure, there is something waiting or you, after much patience, to astonish you to a degree, that you forget the bitterness of the pain.
