I’ve always dreamed of going to this place for my honeymoon as a newlywed. ‘Cause by then, I will have my own husband with me to witness the miracles of this place. A place fulls with barakah. InshaAllah. One day :)

Dear World-Eastern Europe,
When I look at the world and see how fast we can forget, it makes my heart ache and my eyes water.
It is crazy how easily someone can bring up the holocaust which happened almost 80 years ago but when it comes to the atrocities that accrued less than 30 years ago no one remembers. This is not to degrade what happened during the holocaust but to remember the other half of Europe.
How do we as a people just forget about what happened in Bosnia? Chechnya? Albania? How do we forget the mass murder of women and children, the rape of thousands of women, the killing of thousands of people for what, for being Muslim, for wanting their own country, for not agreeing with the oppressive behaviors of their government? It’s crazy, these mass killings of people are never justified yet they occurred with no formal repercussions and still occur under our noses today. “You kill our soldiers, we kill you babies,” is the notion.
It’s not about grieving all day long about everything that is occurring these days, it’s about being informed and doing something. And if you live in these countries, there are people like me who are counting on you to make it better but there is only so much we can do. You have to stand and revolutionize, make a change and do something!
What can you do?
Prayers are always helpful, so are donations especially to orphan children.
We can’t do everything but we can do something.

“The lesson you’re taught is that the story ends at the wedding, and then that’s when Jennah (paradise) begins. That’s when you’ll be saved and completed and everything that was once broken will be fixed. The only problem is, that’s not where the story ends. That’s where it begins. That’s where the building starts: the building of a life, the building of your character, the building of sabr, patience, perseverance, and sacrifice. The building of selflessness. The building of love. And the building of your path back to Him.” -Yasmin Mogahed

Its 19th December 2011. 730 days ago exactly on this day, i met someone that I didnt expect to be so special in my life now. He had always been special in my life even since i said those 3 words to him, i have consider him to be special and till now even though after all those hurts and pains he have put me i still think he is special. Stupid, maybe i am. The purpose of me writing this is actually i want to reminisce the memories i had with him. I need to let it out and this place is the best place i can let it out since its my blog.
On 19th December 2009, me, Thaahirah and Syafiqah decided to go to the Jamiyah food rationing after so long of not volunteering there due to school activities. When we first arrived there, the aunties there told us to go grab our lunch at the backyard. So when we were at the backyard, you called Thaahirah and asked her to get you 4 curry puffs. I asked her who are you and she said your name was Aidil. That was the first time i saw you but you were merely a guy whose friend is my best friend’s lover. Eventually we get on to work, we the girls did not get the chance to do the paper work because we came late. But I thank God for not letting us do paperwork because if not I wouldnt have met you. i remembered you were at the other side of the table and i was on the other side. Faizal passed me a paper which was supposed to be put inside a box and you were holding that box. I passed you the paper without a smile and you were staring at me as if i was an alien. My face was calm but my heart was thumping real fast because there is something about that stare that just makes me uncomfortable. Maybe one of the reasons is because I hate it when someone stared at me because I have problems eye contacting with people even my friends when talking. I ignored your stare and get on to work. Then it was break time, you and your friends were having your smoke break while me and my friends were sitting at the stage grabbing every opportunity to relax. Suddenly Syafiqah said she was thirsty, so we decided to go to the backyard again and grab a drink. Thats when you and your friends came out of your hidden place. You fell while going down the stairs because it was slippery like you said. Fathir and Razin was laughing really loud. I cant help it but to laugh too because it was an epic fall. You should have seen your face. After all that embarrassment, we continued with the rationing and to my surprised you were now in front of me helping me out. Can you believe it? From the one side of the table to the other side of the table. You helped me pack the things and you were teasing me too. Remember Cik Intan? She made me shouted her name for 3 times and you were making fun of it all the while. Because of that you gave me the name “seslow” I still remember when you called me that, both me and the auntie was laughing because you are mixing both English and Malay together. That was really adorable! Then when i said to the aunties that they have to take their picture after taking their rations in Malay, they went “huh”“. Then you suddenly said “take picture!” and instantly they understood you. I could not help myself but to laugh. Eventually it came to the end of the day. Me and syafiqah had to go off earlier because we had another event at Darul Mawa. You and me did not have any proper conversations and it didnt bothered me at all. Because i was not even planning to be friends with you. I merely thought it was a one day friendship. Nothing more. But I was wrong. Totally wrong. When i get back home, i checked my facebook and saw your friend request. I was shocked when because firstly i thought you didnt know my name and secondly how did you even get my account. I accepeted your request without any doubt or even second thoughts. Cause during that period, there isnt a need for all that. Its just adding me up on facebook, whats wrong with that right? After accepting, i went to sleep with a smile on my face not because of you but because of the time i spent with the kids. But who expect that will be the night my smile, my laughter and my tears will change. Everything changes with one friend request on facebook. EVERYTHING.
