Tafseer of Al-Fatiha.

Assalamualaikum, readers. 

We are currently going through a pandemic crisis of Covid-19. The whole world is currently affected by this and I pray this will be over soon. Today, I would like to share a Tafseer class that I attended with Liyana Musfirah Network last month online. Due to current situation, all classes gotta be online. Zoom to be exact. I love ZOOM. Lets get to it! 

Before reading the Quran, we can recite this dua. 

Oh Allah increase my desire for the Quran, and make it a light for my
sight and a cure for my heart. Oh Allah beautify my words that i speak
with the Quran, and decorate my appearance with it’s beauty (Quran)
and perfect my voice with it, and increase my body in strength with it.
and bless us with rizq, and bless us to submit to you throughout day
and night. and resurrect us back on the day of judgement with your
beloved Prophet Muhammad Peace and blessing be Upon him and
prayers to him and his beloved family.

assalamualaikum, readers. :) Aida Azlin asked in the Sisterhood FB, my biggest lesson this year so far. And I said that, "I learnt that the dua you made at a certain point in life which you really wanted at that point of time, does not need to be answered immediately because Allah has better plans for you in the future. And to get to the things you wanted or even better, you will have to go through his tests and he will reward you greatly. And this year is the year that almost of my dua has been answered. Alhamdulilah for all the blessings he gave me. "  This year was so good that I did not mange to write them down. Allah gave me a job that I fell in love with. I got 2 upcoming school trips. I got to be involved in Introspeksi 2018 again but as a crew which often people overlooked. But it is important as it is. I tried Netball again, a sport I left for 11 years because of aurat. I assist the kids in Netball ECA. Do you know how happy I was? To rekindle love again for

assalamualaikum, readers!  Day 2 post for Hong Kong is finally here. The month has been hectic as Ramadhan is here and also, in between, I run out of energy fast as it was spent at work with the kids. Back to this, basically, Day 2 was just Disneyland. The rides are mostly family friendly meaning more kiddy rides than thrilling rides. I have never been to Disneyland so I decided to start my first Disneyland Journey in Hong Kong. And, ohh, when you saw the train to Disneyland, you know you were going to a magical place. The insides of the train were cute too. From the handles, to the statues and even their windows, how can I not fall in love?  10 April 2018   Hong Kong Disneyland Lantau Island, Hong Kong $88 via Klook App. The park was big and thus, lots of walking. Upon reaching, I knew that I really want to eat the Mickey Mouse waffle as I had been seeing on other people instagram and no, it was not that extraordinary waffle that had fireworks in your mouth,

Dear Nenek Bibi.

assalamualaikum, readers.  I am sure you've heard the recent natural disasters that happened and also, prior to that, I have friends who lost their loved ones and I have been sending my love and condolences to them. Losing the people we love and when it repeatedly happen, we have to keep coming to terms that they are no longer here on this earth. No longer that figure that we see often at home or during gatherings/hari raya. I lost mine in the midst of having Terminal 2 rehearsals and she was someone that I looked forward to meet when I went to Batam. Every single time I saw her and had conversation with her, my heart just swells with lots of love and happiness. Whenever we parted ways, she always say, "datang selalu, kenal saudara nanti kita dah takde, dah terlambat. Doa untuk nenek ye, jadi kita boleh jumpa lagi. " and that, left just words. I looked up to her because she always on her zikir count. Wherever she was, she always zikir. She never forgets Allah at
