bismi-lLahi-rRahmani-rRahiem, alhamdu li- lLahi Rabbi-l'alamien wa- shshalatu wa-ssalamu 'ala asyrafi- lAnbiyai wa-lMursalien, wa man tabiahu ila yaumi- ddien. NastaienuHu wa nastaghfiruHu min sayyiati anfusina wa sayyiati amalina, ma- yyahdli-lLahu fala mudlillalah wama- yyudlli-lLahu fala hadiyalah. 'amma bad.
a-ssalamu 'alaikum wa rahmatu-lLahi wa barakatuH, i pray that this meets you all in the best of health and in strong ieman insya Allah. i also pray that you are all fervently preparing for Ramadlan which seems to be getting closer more quickly that we (well, at least most of us) expected. may Allah azza wa jalla allow us all to be able to perform the shaum in the blessed month and make it a means for us to gain closeness to Him - may He also pardon us of our shortcomings and accept our deeds, no matter how smal or insignificant they may seem to us, amien.
if He has guided you, sister sally, to ieman and islam, so now your turn to be firmly and steadfstly to hold on.
to bear the "examination" in this live is just to upgrade your believe with the purpose to live in a best place afterwar in the hereafter.
we have NO choice after ieman and islam only two things: either shabar(patientnce) and syukr(thank to Allah)
make much more do'a(prays), ask Him!
"The knowledge of the hypocrite is in his speech, yet the knowledge of the believer is in his actions"
"Every man dies, but not every man truly lives"
"anything incorrect is from us and the syaithan, while everything correct is from Allah Azza wa Jalla"
Subhanaka-lLahuma wa bihamdiK/glory & praise/gratitude is to You O Allah, asy-hadu alla illaha illa Ant/ i bear witness there is none that has the right to my worship but You, astaghfiruKa wa a tubu illaiK/ i ask Your forgiveness and repent unto You.
wa ssalamu 'alaikum wa rahmatu-lLahi wa-barakatuH.
*Yesterday is history,
Tommorow's a mystery,
Today's a gift,
That's why we call it the Present.*
"Each day I wake in gratitude.
Thanking Allah,
He let me rise
And To Him I only
Seek His assistance."
