To teach, to motivate, to inspire

Today at the teachers' training we were called upon to share what inspires us. Because good teachers teach, better teachers motivate and the best teachers inspires.

Sure, lots of things are inspiring.

How His love letters are so so intriguing and always makes me wonder of His awesomeness of His creation.

How the Prophet is so so calm when facing all unthinkable hardships.

How my mom keeps going and going despite all the difficulties she has been facing. How she is standing strong to strengthen us her kids and our dad.

How my dad used to give all he has for us his kids, just to see us thrive and survive.

How my husband manages us and juggles his time between his studies, his family and da'wah.

How my daughter looks up to me and depends on me for everything..

And to put it lightly, it seems that I have this habit of quoting quotes that I find insipiring from books I read and movies I see.

When the great Sven says: If you want it, you must will it. If you will it, it will be yours!

See, the thing is, lots of things can inspire you. Its a matter of you being inspired or not.. 0_O

Difficulties

If we count the favours of the Almighty upon us and ponder over them carefully, they will eclipse the difficulties we may be facing. Whenever we go through some hardship whether long or short term, we tend to become totally oblivious of the countless bounties of the Almighty upon us.

Nobody on earth can claim to have no trials, hardships or tests. The difference is mainly connected to how each individual deals with his or her tests and trials. Some never stop complaining whilst others come across very content although they may be going through an even greater test.

The secret is to develop our faith in the Almighty and His Mercy, be thankful for what we have and help ourselves by looking at those who are in a worse situation. This will most certainly assist us through the remainder of our lives and take us through to the next - with a smile! Aameen

Comparing

Comparing is competition's twin. And just as cancerous. Comparing yourself to others is nothing but bad news. Why? Because we're all on different development timetables. Socially, mentally, and physically.

Since we all bake differently, we shouldn't keep opening the oven door to see how well our cake is rising, compared to our neighbours, or our cake won't rise at all.

Although some of us is like the taugeh, which grows like the weed the moment its planted, others are like the bamboo tree,

which shows no growth in four years but grows ninety feet in year five.

I once heard it described this way: Life is like a great obstacle course. Each person has their own course, separated from every other course by tall walls. Your course comes complete with customized obstacle designed specifically for your personal growth. So what good does it do to climb the wall to see how well your neighbour is doing or to check out his obstacles compared to your own?

Pesanan untuk sahabat

Anak muda yang dikasihi, pasanganmu adalah seseorang yang telah menghubungkan hati, jasmani dan nasibnya. Dengan sepenuh hati, saya mengucapkan tahniah kepada anak-anak yang saya kasihi sekalian. Saya berpesan, hendaklah kamu mencurahkan kasih sayang kepada pasanganmu. Setialah dengan mereka dan selaraskan dirimu dalam urusan satu sama lain.

Hindarilah kerumitan hidup bersama, dengan mengabaikan kekusutan kecil dan tidak penting. Semoga Tuhan menganugerahkan padamu kesejahteraan, kegembiraan dan ketinggian rohani. Moga dikurniakan kepadamu tumpuan kehidupan; yakni anak-anak tercinta yang sihat, soleh serta menjadi penyinar." - Ayatullah al Uzma Ali Khamenei.

Kebahagiaan yang sedemikian rupa tidak akan wujud kecuali di bawah naungan takwa kepada Allah dan mencintai Allah di waktu terang-terangan dan rahsia di waktu ghaib dan waktu syahadah. Lantaran itu tenteramlah jiwa suami dan ia berpuas hati kepada isterinya dan yakinlah ia bahawa isterinya hanyalah untuk dirinya sendiri sahaja, yang memelihara diri walaupun beberapa lama ia terpisah dari isterinya. Demikian juga sikap isterinya terhadap suami dibaluti dengan sepenuh kepercayaan itu. Di dalam suasana bahagia yang demikian, syaitan dari bangsa jin dan manusia tidak mempunyai jalan untuk mengganggu dan menggoda keduanya. - Al-Marhum Ustaz Mustafa Masyhur, Mursyidul Am kelima Jamaah Ikhwan Muslimin .

Don't quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will

When the road you're trudging seems all up hill

When funds are low and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but you have to sigh

When care is pressing you down a bit

Rest if you must..but don't you quit

Life is queer with its twists and turns

As everyone of us sometimes learn.

And many a failure turns about

When he might have won had he stuck it out.

Don't give up though the pace seems slow

You may succeed with another blow

Success is failure turned inside out-

The silver tint of the clouds of doubt

And you never can tell how close you are

It may be near when it seems so far.

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit

Its when things seems worst that you must not quit.

Beautifully Imperfect

Look at relationships from different lights to the eulogy of a woman who has just lost her husband..

Eid-ul Adha greetings

May we continue to rekindle the spirit of sacrifice as it was exemplified by our Prophet Ibrahim a.s. and his son Ismail a.s. simply for the sake of seeking the pleasure of Allah and Him alone...Amin.

Is This Love I’m Feeling?

“Love is a serious mental disease.” At least that’s how Plato put it. And while anyone who’s ever been ‘in love’ might see some truth to this statement, there is a critical mistake made here. Love is not a mental disease. Desire is.
