I saw the rising moon tonight. Beautiful masha'allah. The new year has indeed lots of promises...and Baraka. In retrospective, the past year has been quite challenging. But its sweetness lies in the struggle, strive. We all fall, lose, get lost, gain more... always keep in mind the Ayah "Wa lazina Jahadu fina, lanahdeyenehum Subulana" = 'those who strive, in our cause, we'll surely guide them' (Surat Ankabut: 69).
So, the bottom line of anything is never giving up and in the greater scheme of things...well, one might as well be dead! So take your vital signs for a blessing and keep striving in that you deem worthy.
I am truly looking forward to the days ahead...psyched about starting my classes (who would have thought?!). Taking a break and re-considering where one is leading is very essential...helps sort out priorities and motives behind actions. So what more is there ever left to say, but Praise the One and Only?
Once a number of Sahaba were sitting and talking to each other. They started to mention what they are grateful for...one mentioned health, the other faith, the other family...one of them though said "I am grateful that my Lord is none but Allah". That, dear all, requires a reflection.
Peace & Blessings...
with endless prayers to all in Gaza (Oh, You who see and hear
bless us with your Mercy & Peace)
