Weather the storm

Bismillah.

Assalamualaikum,
Hi guys,

Monday is not guilty, we should stop blaming it. It's just an innocent day after a lazy Sunday. Yes, Sunday is notorious for its laziness. We should be more in control of our mind, psyche up ourselves to face a new week, every week. We can weather the Monday storm, of course, we can!

Should not start the week grumpily.
You'd better stay cool, or they might name a storm after you!


LOL
: D

[Belated Monday ramblings as I try to catch up on this space. Life is a catching up game anyway. Don't you think so?]

Good bye July.

[Positive] Writing on the wall | Take it or leave it

Bismillah.

Hi guys, you know what the idiom means - writing on the wall. It suggests a future doom. But when I was in Ipoh I was mesmerized by the chic writings on the walls at a home-grown new hotel chain. Ipoh is a relatively small city located between KL and Penang, Malaysia. Creative writings on the wall could give out positive vibes after all.

Hope you have had a wonderful weekend as I did.
More photos from my short getaway.

Alhamdulillah wa shukrulillah.


Pretty writings on the wall


That's a quote by Barbara Kingsolver, by the way.
Those words are not mine.

These are mine:
My memories, feelings, and thoughts are all I could offer.
Take it or leave it.

LOL.

Horsing around | Inclusive

Bismillah.

Wish y'all a productive and happy weekend.


Let's be appreciative of our leisure time before we get busy.

By the way, yesterday I came across a pleasant news about the establishment of a 'World Sufi Center' to be based in Malaysia. The Deputy Prime Minister of Malaysia announced this wonderful news at a Conference of Ulama held in Kuala Lumpur today. It's indeed a significant milestone for a nation to make Sufism/tariqa "official". A local philanthropist has committed to contribute US$ 1 Million for the proposed Center. The idea for 'World Sufi Center' was agreed upon by ulama, mufti and scholars from 38 countries who gathered at the said Conference. 

I am pretty sure this newly established body could unite the various tariqa group in the country and around the world. And that the authority would monitor and supervise them so as to deter any deviant ones from misleading the public.

Having mingled with several groupings before, I noticed some were too inwardly looking and each had the tendency thinking theirs was the better one. And there are also "spiritual leaders" who ride on the religion for their own personal gain.

May Allah protect us from the illusion of 'being the chosen exclusive club' whereas the Prophet pbuh has taught us about Islam that is all inclusive. May Allah keep us on the Straight Path, stay on course like a good racing horse until the finish line.

Allahu a'lam.

Gotta have a stronger will.

Good morning from Malaysia

Bismillah.

Hi guys 😁
Am still chillin' at my camp site.
Was the first to get ready for the day.
There are plenty of perks for a morning person, this I noticed a long time ago. I hope my nieces and nephews would follow my good habits and leave the not so good ones.

May Allah grant us good health and tawfik to do much good and be useful to people.
Wish y'all a fabulous day.



 For the love of the Prophet PBUH
The cutest guy I met today lol
Another favorite of mine


Giraffe everywhere LOL.

Cheers 😁

Where your thoughts have brought you

Bismillah.

Hi guys,

Let's be mindful of our thoughts cos:
"You are today where your thoughts have brought you. You will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you."
- James Allen

Today, I am where my thoughts have brought me : )
Alhamdulillah wa shukrulillah.

And whatever circumstances you are in, face it bravely, don't sit on it, don't sweep it under the carpet. Look at it in the eyes and deal with it.
Let's.

Having said that, today (or rather lately) I realized Allah has shown me that trusting Him and letting Him deal with certain people, is more than worth it! He is obviously Most Fair and Most Wise in His judgment and in exacting retribution.
; )

You may be given a cactus, but you don't have to sit on it.
Choose to sit on a lovely sofa, or on the floor but not a cactus.
