Eid is nearing and I am getting sadder and sadder each day. So far, this Ramadhan has been smooth-going and even enlightening for me. I have learned quite a bit about myself and have doen quite a bit of reflection. I guess, there is this magic in the air during Ramadhan. It makes believers all over the world want to pray, be devoted, be faithful and even peaceful. Well, we are expected to be all of the above even when it is not Ramadhan. But God knows how weak we are and how much help and guidance we always need from Him. So I believe, Ramadhan is also somewhat a window of opportunity for some to get started on being good, for some to get started on being better and for some to keep pursuing God's love at its utmost.
In this blog, I would like to dedicate the space to very important and significant people in my life. God has blessed me with them, granted me the privilege to be under their love and care. Without these respected and much loved individuals, I would not be who I am today.
Mum and dad, what can I say. My teachers for 31 years. They are the best. It was not easy at all bringing me up. I was a big headache. Now maybe I still am and probably will always be. But I know that they love me no matter what and I love them no matter what. Allah opens my eyes and my heart every day to appreciate what they have done and continue to do for me. Dad is still working at the age of 60, mum is still working even though she has the choice to stay at home. All because to give my sister and I a comfortable life. I probably cannot repay them for all that they have done, but slowly and God willing, I hope to give them a comfortable old-age life together with the family still. All the tears and heartaches that my parents have gone through because of me, I pray God will forgive me and always open the door to repentence for me.
My beloved sister. Oh sister sister! You will always be my backbone in everything that I do. In times of anguish and despair, she is always here for me. My dear sister has grown up and I miss her terribly. Even though we live under the same roof, I regret every minute that we do not spend together. Although she is now an adult, she will always be my sister. And when we grow old, and when mummy and daddy are not here with us anymore, my sister will always have my love and protection as she does now.
Dear husband, Allah bestowed on me him when I thought that there was no love true. After my first Umrah, Allah confirmed that he is to be mine at my age of 29. Alhamdulillah, Allah helped me find my soulmate, my companion, my confidante. He is a wonderful family man, a filial son to his family and a filial son-in-law. I have since learned so much for him. He has taught me to be humble, to not be too quick to judge others other than myself, to love because of Allah and to always reflect and repent. He leads me in my prayer every day without fail this Ramadhan and has taught me that we receive extra points from God when we pray together. I am proud of him for he is too my teacher. May Allah bless us with a beautiful home of our own, our very own lil' Khadijah and Muhammad and a safe journey to and back for Umrah end of this year.
Ya Allah, protect my family always. Keep them under your wing and guide them always. Thank you for they are your greatest gifts to me.
I thank Allah first and last, for without His Mercy, nothing is possible and nothing is blessed.
All praise and thanks be to Allah, My Lord. - Jaslina yassin
