the nice little things ...

in life that we've always forgotten ...

(cerita hari itu...)

had a fast walk to the shop this morning (top up time!), i walked so fast because we only had 6p left! - the modem, heater and other electrical goods are no longer working ... i walked with nothing much in mind not even thinking of whatever is available to my sight and other senses (nak cepatlah katakan :D) ... on the way back i came across a nice old lady with her family ... she walked pass me, smiled and said: "isn't it a nice peaceful day?" ...

:) subhanallah ... it is! it is a nice sunny morning despite the cold winter breeze - and it feels great! i should have appreciate it when i walk pass through the university as there were very few people around ... it was so quiet and peaceful ...

it is a simple saying, a simple comment on another lovely morning (perhaps), yet from a meaningful observation - it made me smile and slowed down my pace, opened my eyes and hearing to the beauty of Allah's grace ... subhanallah, walhamdulillah, wa laa ilaaha illallah, wallahuakbar!

its another day to live
the lovely sky
the soothing sunshine
and the calming breeze ...
yet i couldn't see it sometimes
being unthankful nor appreciative
the blessings are everywhere
yet often ignored rather than perceived
had the extreme weather left my heart to freeze?

(cerita hari ini ...)

the ayah: "Fa bi ayyi aalaa-i rabbikuma tukadzibaan" [Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?] was mentioned 31 times in surah ar-Rahman, in which He tells us about the ni'mahs we've been blessed everyday, everywhere with, the Day of judgment, paradise and hell ...

its like a question asked for 31 times and still we fail to keep it in mind ...

an-nas (men) wan nisyan (forgetfulness), will we ever get over it?!!

astaghfirullahal 'adzim, astaghfirullahal 'adzim, astaghfirullahal 'adzim ...

allahummakhtimlana bihusnil khatimah wa la takhtim 'alaina bisu-il khatimah ...

Blessed be the name of thy Lord, full of Majesty, Bounty and Honour [55:78]
