Nikmatnya!

"Have you not considered how Allah presents an example, [making] a good word [kalimah tayyibah] like a good tree, whose root is firmly fixed and its branches [high] in the sky?

"It produces its fruits all the time, by th permission of its Lord. And Allah presents examples for the people that perhaps they will be reminded.

"And the example of a bad word [kalimah khabitah] is like a bad tree, uprooted from the surface of the earth, not having any stability.

"Allah keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word in wordly life and in the Hereafter. And Allah sends astray the wrongdoers. And Allah does what He wills."

(Ibrahim, 14:24-27)

Alhamdulillah.

Little that I realised, a seemingly small and insignificant ripples of water can turn into a huge tsunamic wave.

Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.

Little that I knew, the seeds that we thought would not last the fierce storm, the heavy rain, the heat of the sun and the cold of the winter, would yield scrumptious mangoes.

Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.

Little that I expected, I would be seeing and witnessing the parables mentioned in above verses, in the real world, right in front of my nose now at this point of my life.

Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.

Little that I suspected, the more you try to give to others with your purest heart, the more you will learn from them.

Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah.

All praises be upon you Allah, the Lord of the Worlds, al-Khaliq ar-Razzaq, the Creator and the Proveider, ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful.

I am indeed grateful for all the blessings you have bestowed upon me, your unworthy servant. I have done all sorts of things for all this while but to thank you, yet you have blessed me with your utmost grace and love.

I particularly thank you O Allah, for what had taken place tonight. Indeed, you have shown to us, one will only reap what he sows! And I can only hope, You will strengthen this ukhuwwah and may we will reunite again in Jannah, Insha-Allah...

To Dahlia, Sir, Pilot, Rifle and Federer, jazakumullah khair. I'm deeply impressed and very proud of you guys! =)

p/s: Initially, this post was categorized under 'Tazkiyyah.' But then, I think it's more of me telling what has happened and stuff, rather than me advising or giving something to ponder about. Nevertheless, I do hope it would be a good reminder for all of us, Insha-Allah. Allhua a'lam...
