ANSWER

Assalamualaikum,

I had a busy weekend with questionnaires, attending weddings, driving Mak around and some family stuffs. I rarely reply text messages now unless it's really important, I've been keeping most of my conversations short and spending a lot of time with myself and my study stuffs.

Age is surely catching up on me. I am feeling like an oldie before time I must say.

There were times that I was really exhausted emotionally and physically, I just stared blankly at the wall and cried myself to sleep. Not that I was sad, I was just, tired.

There were times that I felt like I missed my train. You know things around you keep moving on forward and you were still there,not progressing.

One thing I like to do when these kinda moment/episode come once in a while, I would find an interesting verse in the Quran that is applicable to my emotion at the moment. Today, when I was in class, I had this sudden feeling of despair. So I took out my phone and search for verse in the Quran that is related to despair. And then I found this beautiful verse:

يَا بَنِيَّ اذْهَبُوا فَتَحَسَّسُوا مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلَا تَيْأَسُوا مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ لَا يَيْأَسُ مِن رَّوْحِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُونَ - 12:87


O my sons, go and find out about Joseph and his brother and despair not of relief from Allah . Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people.

It's always there you know? 
What?
The answer to everything that we've been asking.

Social Media Detox

It was all started about a month ago, life was crazy at that time, one submission after another, school had a series of events before the academic year ended and I was freaking tired. To cut the story short, I randomly uninstalled my social media applications on my phone and dang I think I said it few months ago to go social media free by the end of this year. I haven't reached to that point yet, still scrolling down Twitter before I sleep but I am off Instagram and Facebook for quite some time already. There are times I feel like yknow reinstall those apps again but man my 24 years old brain cannot even remember the password. But LET ME TELL YOU I feel much calmer, less insecure and no unnecessary sakit kepala! Thanks to my forgetful mind, I stop checking on social media every 2 hours, scrolling down people's feed or timeline(whom I don't even know) and putting the pressure on myself (because I haven't achieved what people have). It's true lah afte...

MAK CIK SARIAH

My addmath teacher when I was in highschool told me "Be significant, wherever you go." My 16-year-old brain couldn't understand that of course, too young too dumb to realize. I thought what she meant was for me to be the best in whatever I do, be kind you know leave mark wherever I go. Just that, I couldn't see the impact of being significant. Well, that's not technically wrong, it's just I didn't understand the purpose of being significant at that time. Being me, I need reasons to do things. You need to tell me WHY before you ask me to DO.  Until one day I heard my favourite makcik kantin in my primary school passed away. She was one of the highlights during primary school - she put on a smile every time she saw me, she didn't have much but that didn't stop her from giving, best makcik kantin ever! That's when I realised - one of the importance of being significant in your life does not only for this world but for the hereafter, imagine...

Bismillah 2020 is equal to the year of a roller coaster  ride which always goes up. It’s like a movie where the rising action takes 2/3 of the storyline and I found myself countless time standing at the edge of a cliff and ready to jump. Until the day the man of my du’a shook Abah’s hand during our solemnisation. I wasn’t nervous that morning, I felt like watching the sunset by the beach while the wind calmly dancing on my skin. I wasn’t scared of the day that was about to end as if I was sure I would be accompanied by the moon. I am indeed yakeen, after years of being suffocated by uncertainty. 2020 isn’t that bad, yes my pain and nightmares do not just disappear into thin air when my husband stepped into my life but now Allah has lent me him to hold my hand every time those things haunt me. Telling me, he’s my person. Convincing me, there’s something Allah wants me to learn. Reminding me how much Allah loves me. I vividly remember Mir asked me why him? I said I don’t have THE EXA...
