dusty dusty page. need a wee bit of cleaning.

Assalamualaikum wbt. 

Cough cough. 

Cobwebs away.

Sweeping off dusts and everything else. 

Oh, you know what I mean. 

These past few days, I've been thinking about it a lot. 

There's a lot that you can do while you're blessed with a good amount of free time. Only if you choose to use it well. Subhanalllah, having a LOT of time to spend is a great challenge for me who didn't expect to have one. 

So I'm not going to waste this beautiful blog that Leya created years back. 

We're still separated by the big sea, if not by the Indian ocean (Asma's still in Manchester) than by the Laut Cina Selatan! (Leya is in Tawau now), this page is still relevant. haha.

Before I keep babbling on petty matters, I am going to share something that really touched my heart. 

Today, is the 21st of Ramadhan. Alhamdulillah, I am still alive to take part in this year's most anticipated event. The big race is getting more intense as we get into the last few days of Ramadhan.

Ramadhan is a month full of blessings, we are constantly reminded. 

How far do we actually understand this? 

How far do we act to live up to what this month really worth? 

I'll start off with a hadith by our beloved Prophet (Pbuh):   

Whoever does not give up forged speech and evil actions, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink (i.e. Allah will not accept his fasting.)

Bukhari, Abu Hurayrah 

First thing first, forged speech = START practicing holding your tongue from saying things we shouldn't say. Be patient, be tolerant. 

If we are to not say anything if it's not nice or good, what should we say then? Hoho, question asked, an answer delivered. Islam is syumul. Perfect in every sense. ^^

Samura ibn Jundab reported that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said,

"The dearest phrases to Allah are four:

Subhan Allah, (Glorified is Allah),

al-Hamdulillah (All praise be to Allah),

Wa la ilaha ill-Allah (There is no God but Allah), and

Allah-o-Akbar (Allah is the Greatest).

There is no harm in beginning them in any order you choose

while remembering Allah.'' ....................................(Muslim)

A beautiful hadith, a proof of how Islam is never hard. It's never just a religion, it's THE way of life. 

What's more AMAZING isssss, the reward that comes by saying this powerful phrases. 

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, ‘He who utters: Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi (Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise) one hundred times a day, his sins will be obliterated even if they are equal to the extent of the foam of the ocean (Al-Bukhari and Muslim) 

and...

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said,’For him who says: Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi (Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with praising Him, and to Him),’ a palm tree will be planted in Jannah. (At-Tirmidhi)

Say it 100 times a day, and all of our sins are wiped off. It is so easy that it becomes so hard to believe. (With soo many set backs during my student years to actually obtain a piece of scroll, one wouldn't believe things can come by easily).

 But easy it is! Subhan Allah!~~~ (x 99)

The love that Lord has for us. It's incomprehensible to the humble human minds. 

Can we feel His love?

How much He wants to forgive us all? 

The most Compassionate! Alhamdulillah!~~ (x99)

How much He wants to make us all the citizens of His Paradise?

How so easy that He has laid down the path for us to His Jannah?

Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. Allahu akbar. (x97)

Girls, LET's just take this advantage to wash our sins away. When is better to start than this holy month of Ramadhan? :) 

The awesomeness of Ramadhan is totally mind-blowing. 

Let's kick up the pace a bit as we come to the end of the month!~ 

We are ALL gonna win and grab the ultimate GOLD MEDAL for Him, from Him. 

Ramadhan Kareem.

The hunt for lailatul qadr is on. The greatest treasure hunt of the year. 

BTW, 

WE, all three of us , Leya, Asma and Izzati have finally graduated from medical school!! More reasons to say ALHAMDULILLAH!!

Leya and Asma have started their jobs as doctors~ And I will be the baby of the bunch and insyaAllah will be starting my part this September, God-willing. 

Hope you guys are finnee!¬

I realized that both Asma and Leya are doing their obstetric and gynecology as their first rotation! May Allah eases everything for u guys!

Till then.
