ASC4: Aku Anomalis 👩‍🚀🚀

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Allahumma Solli 'Ala Sayyidina Muhammad. Indeed, Allah's ni'mah is remarkably large to an extent where it cannot be counted, "And if you count the ni'mah of Allah, never will you be able to count them." [Ibrahim : 34] Feeling content with life is one of the biggest ni'mah anyone has ever wished for. All praises due to the al-Karim, The Most Generous, The Most Giving. The journey of participating Ash-Shaliheen Camp 4 was never a smooth path. As expected, there were ups and downs even way before I was officially registered for the camp, where I nearly withdrew myself. I may have repeatedly stated this in my previous posts but truly, He is the Best of Planners. He is the greatest director of all lives' journey. No one can say otherwise. Our 4 days and 3 nights were designed with challenges, sacrifices, love, and ukhuwwah. Now that I have thought about it, it was not because of the activities, the people, and the en...

Midnight Thoughts.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Tests. All believers shall be tested. "Do the people think that they will be left to say, "We believe" and they will not be tested? " [29:2] Whatever you are going for, it can be in the form of tests. A test for you, A test that you need to face and take it on, Even if the tests seem to be too difficult to handle, Remember the words of Allah Azza wa Jal, "Allah will not burden a soul beyond it can bear.." [2:286] If we outstretch the meaning of the verse, it also holds an important du'aa that people often overlooked. Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred . Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us . Our Lord, and burden us not with ...

To whoever is struggling, this is for you...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah that Allah has given me a chance to live today, to be able to write and grant me the strength to finish this. All praises are due to Allah. Sharing this story of mine is not meant to be showy or encouraging you to experience what I have been through. Wallahi, no. I pray that it will not happen to any of you. This is rather to (hopefully) benefit others on how we can overcome the days where we felt at the lowest point in life and a reminder for my future self. In the past few months, I have been facing challenging moments that I could not forget. It was too unfavorable that I do not wish to experience it again but if it is to drive me closer to the Almighty, may Allah grant me strength, sabr' and solution(s) to overcome it. Aamiin ya Rabb. My friends, especially A, was so worried that she would ask if I was okay and told me that I looked so drained in every classes. Initially, I was not really aware of it but I get con...

Tasbee Meliponiculture Farm 🐝💘

Image
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. A month ago, I was doing research on the places of interest in Brunei for my assignment and that was when I discovered Tasbee Meliponiculture Farm. Felt hopeless when I found out that the place is located in Tutong, I mean like- when will I even get the chance to go to Tutong randomly, just for the sake to visit the bee farm. But Allah knows better and He is the best of Planners. Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah. When an opportunity is opened wide, I'd be the first one to raise my hands up high. Going to a place where it's my first time, that's just a bonus.  KNK? Absolutely.   Ma shaa Allah, unbelievably here I was. I also found out that the name Tasbee itself is sempena namanya sendiri, Tasby Amit. Lawak lah orangnya, beliau dan becali tiada berpisah hahaha. Such a generous person, ma shaa Allah. Memang inda karit menginfaqkan ilmu. If someone has been thinking to publish a book about stingless bees or starting a business on...

A Story About a Sparrow and a Lizard

Bismillahirrahmannirrahim. Allahumma Solli ‘Ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa 'Ala Aali Sayyidina Muhammad. This story is one of my favourite stories. A story that made me think profoundly, shared by a dearest, lovely and a very kindhearted person. Jazakillahu khayr for the beautiful sharing session, may Allah bless kaka, always . Aamiin ya Rabb. When the Prophet Ibrahim AS was burned by King Namrud. A sparrow came back and forth filling its beak with water and dripped the water over the fire that burned Prophet Ibrahim AS. A lizard came, observing the sparrow's action and laughed while commenting, "Hey, sparrow! What a fool. Your small beak can only carry a few drops of water that I doubt capable of extinguishing the fire that devoured the Prophet Ibrahim AS." The sparrow replied, "O lizard, indeed I am unable to put out the massive fire that burned Prophet Ibrahim AS, but I do not want Allah to see me not doing anything to something that Allah loves ...

Al Muqaddimah

Bismillahirrahmannirrahim. The introduction. Assalamualaikum warahmatullah.  It is I, Mimi Hassan. One who will write about her life journey, adventures or whatever that will drive me to write, if He wills. I have always wanted to write in a blog, in fact, I used to write in 2016. I discontinued writing here - deleted the previous posts- because I did not have a strong purpose on why I need to write. I became a silent user on Instagram, basically, rarely post anything. Too anxious about what other people might think. Too afraid of people's reactions regarding my '360° change' as someone would say. I rather not be labeled as 'tudung yg berlabuh/muslimah/solehah/etc' directed towards me (but if silently as a du'aa, then sure) because I am just the same like other women, striving to become a better person. But that is just for another story. Normally, I would simply write in my notebook, not letting others read. But as years passed, I kept on coming ac...

Allahumma Solli 'Ala Sayyidina Muhammad. First word: Ma shaa Allah. When I first heard about the news that a new 'museum' has just recently been established, my heart was excited with joy! 'Next journey for KNK session? Joooooom!!!' You see, I have this 'group of friends' (varies for every session haha) that enjoys KNK as much as I do. A group of friends that actually makes an effort to make it happen, no matter what it takes. (Dart lah jawapannya tu hahaha) truly blessed to know each and every one of them, Alhamdulillah. May we always have the intention to do this KNK not just for fun but solely for the sake to learn Allah's 'ilmu. in shaa Allah, aamiin. Wednesday, 16th October 2019. Indeed, Allah is the best of planners. Feeling overwhelmed by emotions, as we were planning to go to the Balai Khazanah Islam SHHB the next day. "Mims, we plan and Allah also plans but Allah is the Best of Planners. Mungkin bukan rezeki, jangan ...
