Allah The Most Gracious....

Rasulullah SAW said: "Ask and you shall be given it; and you shall be given it." [At-Tarmidzi]

Rasulullah SAW said: "Let everyone of you ask of His Lord all that he wants." [At-Tarmidzi]

We were informed by our beloved Prophet SAW that Allah SWT fulfills everybody's wishes so long as a perso does not get impatient and say, " I asked Allah for so and so and I still haven't received it." We are told never to despair of the mercy of Allah SWT. Remember Maher Zain's InshaAllah??

Don't despair and never lose hope, cause Allah is always by your side.....

Rasulullah SAW informed us that there are several forms for the acceptance of doa.

1) You are given what you ask

2) You are given better than what you asked for

3) Some calamity that was about to befall you has been averted instead

4) The doa is saved up for you as a reward for The Day of Judgement.

If you think of it from all these different forms, there's never a time when asking Allah SWT for thing is not beneficial. It is a form of blessing on its own special way. So what are you waiting for? Keep the prayers going on throughout the day for Allah loves to hear the voice of His servants asking Him for help.


"Dan apabila hamba-hambaKu bertanya kepadamu tentang Aku, maka (jawablah), bahawasanya Aku adalah dekat. Aku mengabulkan permohonan orang yang berdoa apabila ia memohon kepadaKu, maka hendaklah mereka itu memenuhi (segala perintah) Ku dan hendaklah mereka beriman kepadaKu, agar mereka selalu berada dalam kebenaran" -Al-Baqarah [2:186]-

don't be sad....

Allah always has a way to cheer and comfort His servants. Being in PMS for the past week and so stressed out with all sorts of assignments, really adds up to the pressure of performing my best in GP placement. But despite some of the disappointments that I have about how I am doing during GP, Allah sent me a patient who is very pleasant to deal with. His name is Mr. Pleasant. Ironic isn't it?? I would say he is the nicest patient I met since I ever started studying medicine. Thank you Allah. At one moment, I was wondering why did I ever take medicine in the first place. But by sending this particular patient, Allah really had showed me that I really want to do my best in medicine and be a great doctor for which I hope can one day help the Islamic ummah the best way I could. Ya Allah, with all the blessings You have bestowed upon me, how can I not be grateful?? Please guide me to the right path Ya Allah so that everything I intend to do is always with You being the first to be in my mind. True enough, Allah has showed me again and again without fail, for those who believe, you don't have to be sad or afraid.

"Bahkan barangsiapa yang menyerahkan diri kepada Allah, sedang ia berbuat kebajikan, maka baginya pahala di sisi Tuhannya dan tidak ada kekhuatiran terhadap mereka dan tidak pula mereka bersedih hati" -Al-Baqarah [2:112]-

lesson of the day....

Rasulullah SAW said: "Whoever does not argue when he is in the wrong will have a home built for him on the edge of Paradise. Whoever avoids it when he is in the right will have a home built for him in the middle of Paradise. And whoever improves his own character, a home will be built for him in the highest part of Paradise" [At-Tarmidzi]

Arguing with people is strongly discouraged in Islam. We are to state our point of view and then leave it at that. Nor are we to involve ourselves in matters that do not affect a person's deen. Note that a person is to shun argument whether he is in the right or whether his stand is wrong. Both get houses built for them in Paradise. But since the person who knows that he is right finds it more difficult to leave the argument and let things be, he/she is promised a greater reward.

Arguing with people rarely gets anyone to change their minds. It usually only produces defensiveness and creates ill feelings between people. The issue becomes a matter of one's ego and makes it more difficult for a person to change their stance. Allah SWT loves to have Muslims live harmoniously with each other.

This is a reminder for myself who tend to get so heated up to argue especially when I'm super positive that I am right. I hope that everyone especially myself always have this hadis in mind whenever you are ever thinking about arguing. Isn't Islam beautiful?
