Indahnya Islam

It's weird that so many people that are born into Islam cannot appreciate the beauty of it, but people who were not born into it and had to sacrifice so many things to understand and practice Islam are the ones that really appreciate it. I guess some of us have to learn the hard way in order to appreciate something.

Something to ponder,

Are you a 'cultural' Muslim?
(someone who mixes up your culture with Islam? take the things that you want to practice but leaves other important things that you are supposed to practice in Islam just because it doesn't suit your lifestyle?)

or

A real practicing Muslim?

Hijab for me

Hijab is not a restriction
It's a way of life
I choose to protect myself from being a fashion slave
To protect myself from showing my skin
Why must I make people like me by showing my skin
by following the latest trends
of too much skin
I believe that all of myself is for my husband
and no one else has the rights to see me otherwise
and that is one of the beauty of Islam


menjaga kehormatan dan maruah
menutup mahkota
dari pandangan orang lain
kecuali suami mu
kenapa mesti menunjuk-nunjuk apa yang ada
cantik, sememangya cantik
perfection
tapi kenapa perlu menunjuk
tidak kah terasa malu
orang melihat kemaluan kita
menjadi tontonan untuk semua orang
sudah tidak 'special' lagi
astaghfirullahalazim
semoga aku dijauhkan daripada menjadi seperti itu lagi

doa

Ya Allah

Berikanlah aku kekuatan

Kuatkan lah imanku

Berikanlah aku petunjuk dan hidayah

Amin
