Make Me Strong, Ya Allah...

MAKE ME STRONG


I know I'm waiting
Waiting for something
Something to happen to me
But this waiting comes with
Trials and challenges

Nothing in life is free
I wish that somehow
You'd tell me out aloud
That on that day I'll be ok
But we'll never know cause
That's not the way it works
Help me find my way

My Lord show me right from wrong
Give me light make me strong
I know the road is long
Make me strong
Sometimes it just gets too much
I feel that I've lost touch
I know the road is long
Make me strong

I know I'm waiting
Yearning for something
Something known only to me
This waiting comes with
Trials and challenges

Life is one mystery
I wish that somehow
You'd tell me out aloud
That on that day you'll forgive me
But we'll never know cause
That's not the way it works
I beg for your mercy

My Lord show me right from wrong
Give me light make me strong
I know the road is long
Make me strong
Sometimes it just gets too much
I feel that I've lost touch
I know the road is long
Make me strong

To my brother Zairy Hamzah, all the best for your new job in Dammam! Remember Allah 24/7 and he will always take care of you. Have patience & Be strong! This journey and distance is a sacrifice that you have to make. One day you will look back and say, "I'm glad I took my chance, it made me a better man".

Don't worry about mak & family kat sini. Pray for us, may Allah be with us always, Amin.

Supplication

Oh my lord, my sins are like the highest mountain; my good deeds are very few.
I turn to you my heart full of shame, my eyes full of tears. Bestow your forgiveness and mercy upon me.

Ya Allah, send your peace and blessings on the final prophet and his family and companions and those who follow him, Amin.

Sad? You ought to be. Ramadhan is leaving.

The King of all the months is now departing us. How sad is this moment in a believer’s life when something so precious is departing. All good things must come to an end, and so must Ramadhan. Ramadhan is the most Superior month of all other months. Be sad that now the time has come that this Superiority must depart us. Ramadhan is like an elevator, whoever that can get on that elevator and make use of it will be elevated closer and closer to Allah. Be sad that now that very same elevator is departing from us. Ramadan is like a shaded tree of mercy in the hot sunny world of sins and suffering. Be sad that this tree now is soon departing from us. Sadly this month of blessings and mercy is departing which every little act of goodness and worship are all multiplied by 70. Be sad that such month of tremendous importance is departing from us. Its mornings were blessed, and its nights were merciful and methods of forgiveness. Be sad that such blessings are now departed from us.

Now the syaitan is free, so watch out! Whatever good we did in Ramadhan, syaitan is here to get even with us. We prayed solat promptly and kusyuk-ly all 5 times a day, and nothing disgraces syaitan laknatullah like a muslim performing his solat. Now he is here to take revenge. He is mad and disgraced. He tempted, deceived, and misled us for 11 months. And then Ramadhan came, and the effects of 11 months of his delusions were wiped away like a napkin wipes away droplets. Now he is back, continuing his mission to to mislead and tempting us, more than ever before. So ask Allah to save us from his whispers. A'uzu billahi minassyaitanirrajim.

Dear friends,
This is not the end. The departure of Ramadhan is not the end. On one hand, Ramadhan trained the believers to fight temptations, urges, hunger, thirst, and other such realities of life. On the other hand, Ramadhan provided us with chances and incentives to spend our time despite our busy schedules in remembering Allah, seeking forgiveness from Him, and performing ibadat for Him. Ramadhan provided us with all the tools we need to realize that a true believer does not only resist syaitan, but also find time to bow down before Allah and submit to His Will, both literally and metaphorically. So grab your DIY tools, and do something to fix and improve your life.

The month of Ramadhan was like a training arena for all muslims. We learnt what we did not know, we taught what we knew, and we practiced what we taught. Reflect upon the last precious 30 days, and remind yourself of the improvements you have achieved. Regardless of how small the improvements seem, be happy that you are now a better and improved muslim than what you were 30 days ago. Spread Islam, educate people. Please Allah and get Jannah. Its not easy, but it’s not hard either.

Someone has to take the initiative. Never be disheartened. Never give up. Never feel depressed or discouraged. When you are down to nothing, Allah is up to something. Never accuse that Allah has made life miserable for you. Allah never tests a believer through means harder than what the believer can not handle. Allah says that with every difficulty comes an ease. Just be patient and have faith in Him. Each improvement raises your spiritual levels towards Allah. Each step taken towards Allah brings you closer to Him. No improvement is small. I cannot even begin to stress how important it is to do every little thing you can do. What is a seed today WILL grow into a tree tomorrow. Never think that, 'I am just an individual, what can I do alone?' Never lose faith and trust in Allah. You must do your job and obligations, then leave the rest to Allah. Allah will work with you, but not for you. Never underestimate your potentials. Never think that one person can’t make a difference: Our Beloved Prophet did!!

I think this would probably my last post during this transition period before Syawal takes over. I, representing The Ones family; Wan Fahimi, Yusniza Hani, Wan Danish Haiqal and Wan Iman Syuhada wish all of you Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Maaf Zahir Batin. Moga Allah lipat gandakan serta limpahkan rezeki dengan semulia2 barakah buat kita semua dengan kedatangan Ramadhan tahun ini dan semoga amalan kita pada Ramadhan tahun ini lebih baik dari Ramadhan2 sebelumnya. Allahumma bariklana bisshahri Ramadhan. Allahumma Amin.
Wallahu a'lam.
