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 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 ...
