Knowing there will always be the past and yesterdays and memories of back then, seeing those sides or moments of yourself sometimes make you critical of your self. Especially when knowing that there can be much more to achieve, accomplish and become as a person of faith. And not just any faith. A muslim. So at least this yearning or this want to become better is the groundwork to actually achieving it. Things won’t be easy, I mean constructing a building itself is hard so this invisible construction of a believer that pleases their Creator is like a work-in-progress that will construct almost the best of what can be. Biidznillah

I would almost always find myself hoping/waiting for some divine intervention. Not a glorious halo-filled moment type of course but being a rather feelings-based person (insyaAllah), my next course of action depends on what appears or pops up in clarity. Does this make sense? Maybe, maybe not haha

# data[].attributes.body
Won’t check ever so often. But will probably be feeling anxious about the outcome especially when knowing that the timer’s gonna be up

# data[].attributes.body
For someone with shallow knowledge of baking, yes, I’d be looking out for recipes. Don’t want the end product to become something inedible.. that’s quite beside the point then. Also practical person thinking right here 🤭 buttt if it’s a seemingly simple recipe, I’d end up experimenting along the way -baking via feelings katakan- especially if first-timer trials don’t go along quite right. Then just hope you didn’t waste ingredients and that at least one person loves it haha

# data[].attributes.body
Let’s just say it always feels nice to be receiving gifts. But to have the means to gift others is a whole different kind of nice feeling altogether :)

# data[].attributes.body
Depends really.. am I aware of this one-sided love that’s being directed to me? Or am I the one having this one-sided love? Could it be that we fell in love and then one gradually loses the loving?
If it’s the first, I wouldn’t say enjoy. But it can be a means of learning to love as genuinely as the person does. Then again... in the context of a Muslim... we’ve always been on the receiving end of the purest of love from no one else but him ﷺ and while it’s blatantly selfish how our own love mostly can’t be compared, knowing that this pure soul truly loves us becomes a constant “niggling” thought at the back of the heart/mind; waiting, striving, yearning to reciprocate as best possible 🤷🏻‍♀️ (InsyaAllah)

When the most precious person in my life returned to Allah last March, I started to reflected on the journey of my life and started making little changes towards my Creator. Ultimately I want to be reunited with my beloved father in the highest level of jannatul firdaus without account, together with the rest of my family members, our beloved prophet s.a.w and his family. Before that, I need to try my best to do what it takes to seek Allah's mercy to redeem myself from my past sins and be the reason for my father to enter jannah and not otherwise.

# data[].attributes.body
ya rob... because i want to purify myself from all evil and other things that are not beneficial, in order to earn His redha, qurba, gaze and love and the pleasure and happiness of being the ummah of Rasulullah saw

# data[].attributes.body
always be in the remembrance of Allah swt and Our Beloved saw with my whole body and heart and soul

# data[].attributes.body
1) Gain Allah's redha, mercy, light and guidance.
2) Be a filial daughter to my parents and be part of the reason for them to enter jannah
3) Be a dutiful wife, leading quality life seeking jannah together with my husband
4) Be a mother who is able to raise a dutiful servant to Allah, filial son to his parents and be bale to humbly render his services to the ummah in whatever way he can.
5) Be a sister who is a role model to my 5 siblings and their families so that we can all support and remind each other to be productive ummah.
6) Be one who can benefit others including my neighbour, friends, the needy and any other human beings.
All above are my wish list, insyaAllah will continue to strive for them to live a fulfilling life in this world and the hereafter.

# data[].attributes.body
sometimes am blindsighted to the implicit and deepseated underlying intentions we have for the things we do and sometimes find myself lost in the actions. really hoping to be able to have greater clarity and higher consciousness to purify and make complete intentions, that will anchor and accelerate any little things we do or have in our hearts - so that we grow as better versions of ourselves, in hopes that our return Home is welcomed and favorable by Allah.

Because I’m still no good.

Check evry minute. Excited because you sort of know the outcome. I will only be nervous of I never follow the recipe

# data[].attributes.body
Na’am would read ayat kursi thousand times and call Allah for help.

# data[].attributes.body
i'd look for recipes, a few - and blend it into an attempt.

Maybe check every minute. Then gets tired. Then does something else. But would feel nervous cause don’t know if it’ll turn ok. Then goes back to checking every minute. Then maybe just tell myself baking is not my thing.

Not all the time. I'm trying to keep my lifestyle minimum and gifts add to the clutter. And most of the time it doesn't rlly serve a purpose in my life and its not a need because I already have the item. Yes I'm grateful for the thought, but I always think of gifts as unnecessary. Eg key chain and magnets, and abundance of shawls

Maybe yes, if it's not about getting balasan. Mungkin itu cara Allah ajar ikhlas. Normally loving someone equates to 'owning' someone, tu yg expect to be loved back. Loving without syarat is liberating

No. Can’t deal unrequited love. Hurts much.

sadly it does take two to tango. dun think so will enjoy a one sided cos "im only hooomaann~" hehe. if love is defined as the bond / emotions for fellow hoomans (and i imagine this may apply to pet animals as well!),  nonreciprocal will create a barrier / limits as to how much they "allow" us to interact / engage with them and deepen the bond. most times we derive happiness / enjoyment from co-giving/co-receiving gestures of love. but not being able to enjoy this kind of love does not stop one from continuing to love, i agree with some of the responses. Bak pepatah, kadang cinta (living or nonliving things) tak harus memiliki eceh. (Maaf ustazah for my lack of formality :) )

# data[].attributes.body
Yes why not. Love is a personal choice. I chose to love tht person/thing, if it doesn't love me back then that is its choice. Would I enjoy it? As long as whatever I love dont treat me badly, I'm OK with it.

# data[].attributes.body
Hhaha tipu ah Ustazah kalau nak cakap nak buat semua bende untuk buat Baginda (s.a.w) happy, tapi kita sendiri tahu and tetap buat apa yang will not makes Baginda (s.a.w) happy at us.. so contradicting i know.. but if tak buat Baginda (s.a.w) happy, then siapa lagi we nak make happy kan... Sebab semua about Baginda (s.a.w) is just beautiful and its really impossible to not fall in love with Him (s.a.w) hehehe.. at least mcm buat sikit ini, boleh tunjuk kepada Baginda (s.a.w) and tell Him (s.a.w): "I tried, for Your sake, i try" hehehe tak kira la in whatever we do and even naik baik2 dgn someone who hurt us, we tetap buat sebab Rasulullah (s.a.w) suruh buat hehehe.

Should I feel "stuck", I will whisper to my Creator for guidance at 1st instance.
Then ask my parents to doa for me
Then ask my husband to doa for me.
Alhamdulillah, I usually feel like I can conquer the world as soon after I tell my parents to doa for (regardless if they already do the doa or not ...hehe).

# data[].attributes.body
Yes i do Ustazah... and the first thing i would do is just cry heheh, dulu bila tak faham i would run and cry to people but still ada the void in mean and it would get bigger and bigger, and nothing would fill it..

den i go to UHJ halaqah and i learned that we need to fill the void with selawat and love about Baginda (s.a.w), sebab dulu i pernah terasa 'ehh kenapa gi Maulid/Majlis Ilmu/Majlis Zikir and balik i felt better ni? eh!!'. sebelum tu tahu tapi tak really get it and alhamdulliah everytime again and again i pergi ke class UHJ, she will just explain everything it for us, and im like subhanallah, this is Allah talking to me via Ustazah hehe.

So that where my journey starts, in trying to fill the emptyness with nothing but Baginda (s.a.w). and ustazah selalu akan mendidik kami semua untuk buat apa2 yang perlu, alhamdulillah for having a close friendship with UHJ hehhe.

# data[].attributes.body
Hhahah i honestly would do both.. like the moment the cake is in, that comes the excited me and keep checking it for a while,

den gradually i will do other things will waiting for it. nervously hoping that it turns out delicious and pretty like how i hope it would turn out hehhe.

# data[].attributes.body
Hahahaha cute nya soalan niii, hahha yes definitely ustazah. i would search for the recipes. Tapi i akan ubah sikit here and there to make it suitable accordingly to taste bud hehehe.

To reflect, think and ponder instead of shortchanging myself as I am flawed in many ways. Also, to better myself for the future generations of my family.

I may not be married but I have nephews and nieces who are growing way too fast amidst the era of social media and whats not. Hence, to be a good role model for them and be a stepping stone in helping them grow their love for Allah and Rasulullah, In Shaa Allah.

Theres this spark in my life that suddenly changed. I just felt a strange connection with Rasulluah SAW . Then from then I want to know more about Rasulluah SAW, his family and his companions, and then I want to try seek Allah. When seeking Allah, suddenly Allah opened doors to classes with masyaAllah teachers and gatherings.
My past sins always haunts me but going to classes give me new hopes with new intentions.
There are times I still feel lost but i will try to grab hold of Allah.
There are times, im scared and tired, there are times that im enjoying my journey and I seek doa for istiqomah in my journey back HOME and that i go back to HIM with him be pleased with me. Ameen

# data[].attributes.body
To be a benefit to others either through serving or providing aid to the community. Definitely, to achieve and have the redha of my parents and Allah as well.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, why? Because its shows that the other party is thinking of you and is giving u something to appreciate u being in their life.

No, why? Because nanti kita akan susah nak jagi hati pulak ustazah hehhe macam la kita ni important sangat hehehe. Orang tak kasi alhamdulillah, kasi also alhamdulillah heheh.

# data[].attributes.body
I will feel very helpless at first. While trying to keep my composure and staying calm, I will seek out to Allah for His guidance and zikir. Once I am able to think rationaly, will try to accept it by moving forward and think of how I can make the best out of it.

# data[].attributes.body
Is checking every 3-4minutes counted? Hehe.. Else, I will be doing something else. The dishes, cleaning the working space, etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Will look for recipes online and read the reviews. After trying it out a few times, I will then tweak it to suit the family (and my) taste buds/preferences. :)

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly, it makes me feel appreciated, remembered and blessed. And, that makes me feel as if I am in their prayers during the time when they had thought of getting something for me regardless how big or small the gift is.

# data[].attributes.body
Definitely not. But it will come to a point where you will walk away one day and pray for that person's happiness and well-being; loving for the sake of Allah. That will be more less painful for such one-sided or unrequited love.

# data[].attributes.body
Hhahha. Yes and No.

Why? Yes: Because its just an personal thing, i would definitely loves to makes my loves' one happy and seeing them happy makes me happy, and if they were to be sad then i would do whatever i can to make them happy.

Why? No: Because its painful to be in a one sided love, cos its like stanning idols gitu la ustazah. kita as fans have to be by their side and support them in whatever way they wanna do. But at the same time, the sad part tbh is when uknow that u will never be ur idol 'wife' hahahha. And its truly painful to be in that situation hahha.

Coz at the end of the day, I am going back to Allah and Rasullullah... and i will feel malu if I did not try my best to be a better version of Muslimah thru out my life in Duniya... hence the need to attend classes so that I know how to get Allah's redha and to follow sunnah Rasullullah sallahualaihiwassalam..

hahaha o levels, skip the question but get back to it (if theres still time) making dua that Allah swt gives me ilham to answer it... alhamdulillah ala kulli hal, if its the wrong answer or right answer, bc we won’t know for sure what the answer would be, and live goes on beyond o levels....next situation honestly, take a rest and relax first if i’m in a panicky state, zikr and byk berdoa and istighfar, then tawakkal, continue driving until u find help.
the last situation, tawassul for help, maybe taubat nasuha and yakin that whoever you tawassul with, bi izniLLAH, you will be helped

Been in this kind of situation before.. forgotten to bring my purse and my hp and my ezlink when i was outside...before that i was out wid mr hubby and he have to go elsewhere and left me at the mrt station as i was supposed to go to my parents.. and i only realised that i didnt bring my hp, wallet and ezlink after hubby left & I only have some coins in my pocket.. i can only tawakkal and doa to Allah and selawat that i reach my parents place safely which I did.. Alhamdullillah.. can never forget this incident hehe

Ummu princess

Yes, i have been stuck in the situation that my heart raced and I felt that the end was near.
I was alone without my love ones and my daughter was in school.
All I could think of was them and all i could think was who was going to look after them.
Flashbacks came till I recollected myself when i felt my own warm tears and then I called upon Allah and made selawat while holding my chest.
Somehow my heartbeat managed to sync with Allah's name and I calmed myself down.
With Allahs help I managed to gather every inch of energy and calmed down.
That day made me realized how close death is and that i need to rely only on Allah and also let Allah look after my family.
Please make doa for me ustazah.

I would do other things while waiting.. and will check nearing the end of the baking timing.. will feel excited and anxious at the same time while waiting haha coz like i said im a hopeless baker

# data[].attributes.body
kalau first time, i guess i would check it every time so that i wont screw it up hahaha bc of my negligence or carelessness. even though, i may not express outwardly if im excited or nervous, i would be both nervous and excited. nervous, if it would turn out edible and excited if it turns out super yummy 😋astaughfirullah tengah2 puasa

# data[].attributes.body
♡
I will look up the recipe and maybe ask my mum the guidance/ step by step as my mum is a baker and I am a hopeless baker haha...

# data[].attributes.body
i would do both, because whats in the recipes may not be what i have, or can find conveniently or may not cater to my own diet...

# data[].attributes.body
Ummu princess

If I bake cake in the oven, i will time and let it bake and check once the time is near while i do my other chores.
But now i have little minions to check on it every min .
I think i feel anxious more if what i bake turns out good for people to eat.

# data[].attributes.body
♡
Yes, coz it shows that the giver is thinking of me and care for me..it also takes effort to get a gift for someone :)

# data[].attributes.body
honestly yes, even when its the smallest gift or non-material because it shows that you are cared for, people think about you even in some parts of their mind. but i would love to give the sender of the gift even more, so that i remember them the sender, and be grateful to them, and that remind myself that i am not entitled to receiving gifts

# data[].attributes.body
Ummu princess.
I will look up on the recepi and try it. Then subsequent tries tweak to it to suit my tastebud. I tend to get dissappointed if i fail to bake the cake i want after 3 tries and then proceed to another recepi.
I will secure the recepi if i had tasted someone baked it before and if im happy with my bakes i will do it again and again.
So far in my life, i have never baked something without searching  knowledge first but for cooking .. yes i follow my mind and 'campak campak' hehehhe

# data[].attributes.body
♡
No, I would not enjoy it as it will be like S.S (Shiok sendiri) and I know my worth so I would just walk away from this kind of love relationship...

# data[].attributes.body
Umm princess.
Of coz ustazah, I love receiving gifts especially if its something I really wanted😊. Gifts makes my heart jumpstart to happiness and excitement and I know Allah listened to my doa.hehehhehe

# data[].attributes.body
enjoying it won’t be a pleasant experience haha. but if i found myself in it and i can’t leave it because of some reasons, i’d have to live with the one sided love... perhaps finding the Divine Love of Allah, in experiencing the one sided love, maybe in the end I love for the sake of Allah, it would be less painful, maybe even when it comes to the point that its enjoyable

# data[].attributes.body
Ummu princess

Assalamualaikum ustazah,
I dont think I would enjoh a one sided love as I dont enjoy the feeling of being ignored. I used to say to myself that im a strong woman and i can be on my own but as i mature, i want the love of my husband, my kids , my parents etc and now im seeking the love of the devine. InshaAllah.

# data[].attributes.body
I will do other things after observing for awhile at the beginning and maybe the last quarter of the stipulated duration for baking, to assess if I need to remove it from the oven earlier or let it stay in for bit more than the recommended timing. This is because, over experience, I realised my oven's heat cooks faster than the recommended duration.

I feel excited, curious, hopeful, hopeful, hopeful, happy, almost accomplished (haha). I pray in my heart throughout the baking period for Allah to intercede and make miracles happen so the result is successful for those waiting for the bake will not be disappointed. Sounds funny, I know, but yeah I do this all the time. No mater how many times I bake, there is always a tendency for the result to not be successful, even after using the same recipe many times. And seriously, Allah helps always when I think of HIM throughout the baking.

# data[].attributes.body
I will search for a recipe. As I have done some baking over the years, knowing more or less of certain ingredients will result in some form, I may tend to tweak the recipe as I deem fit.

# data[].attributes.body
I admit it makes me excited, curious and happy. Reason being the giver cares about and thinks of me and would like to share something with me. However, I prefer to be the giver than the receiver.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to learn and get to know more of my creator and His deen. I desire of His knowledge. And I would want to practice the knowledge learned ans share it with everyone around me.

# data[].attributes.body
Because I was tired with this world. I didn't understand the purpose of living with all this responsibilities. When I try to find and understand the purpose was to prepare for the akhirah, I decided I need to change. I have to be better.

# data[].attributes.body
If it is my responsibility, I will persevere with the one sided love. However, I won't enjoy it as much if it is a reciprocated love. The 1st thing that comes to mind when I read this Q, is perhaps how I have been behaving with my Creator. How HE continuously loves me regardless my response towards the love given to me. Thanks for this deep Q, it really makes me reflect this morning.

# data[].attributes.body
I usually experienced the kind of situation whenever I was traveling alone. What made my faith deepened was how Allah ease my worries and helped me throughout every obstacles. Provided I seek to Him and do lots of dzikr and selawat while trying to find a way out. Alhamdulillah, I never get disappointed when I trust in Him.

# data[].attributes.body
Excited. Meanwhile, I would do other things nearby the oven like wash the cooking utensils/ clean the kitchen. That way I can check the oven regularly if the cake is doing ok. Hehe

# data[].attributes.body
I would find out the recipe of the cake to know its basic ingredients. But along the way (while baking) I might change the recipe a bit (experimenting).

# data[].attributes.body
Improving myself will helps me to behave around people. Because one wrong word, action from me can hurt others. And the blessing that i get from classes, i would like to share them to others. :)

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. Because it would made me feel appreciated and remembered.

# data[].attributes.body
No. How can you enjoy loving someone who does not love you back? Unless if you have responsibilities on that someone then mayyybe yes.

# data[].attributes.body
To get Allah taala redha. Just put Allah first before anything else.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, i will run to Allah back. Crying to him.

# data[].attributes.body
If it's a new recipe and i have not tried it before i will check every minute. To see the whole process in the oven. And excited to see the outcome.
If i am familiar with it, i would carry on with my other things and wait for it to be done.
But there are times, even when i am familiar with the recipes, it might not always turn out to be the same as always because of a lot of factors. Overconfident, or just the ingredients that i usually used were not available :/

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, i would look for recipes and asked around if there is anyone who ever make it. It will be more 'save' before starting the whole process of baking.

# data[].attributes.body
Not really, because I know gift in terms of items is a form of love but if i recieved something that is not my preference i wouldn't be able to appreciate it much. I would rather recieve lots of dua, the other form of gift.

# data[].attributes.body
Honestly, no. I would like to love and be loved.
There are times when being the only person who love is the best. It's weird, but it is okay. You will feel happier because you know that you have give your best and not hoping too much.
But when it comes to love Allah taala. It's different. I always wants Allah taala love... but have i shown Allah that i am worth the love Allah taala gives? :(

# data[].attributes.body
there's always something inside of us that we dislike eg our bad character towards people around hence we want to be better in our character, why? as we don't want to hurt people anymore, and to follow our role model that is Rasulullah salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam and Sayyidatuna Fatimah Azzahra alaihasallam so that on the Day of Resurrection we'll be with them eventhough we're far away from them in worship, obedience to Allah and in any form act of goodness, sacrifice they did, at least but only by His Mercy we try to follow them InshaAllah

# data[].attributes.body
tbh to be a servant of Allah and His Beloved salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, its gonna be a stuggle (may Allah give us all strength) and also to please our parents through Him and to always be in a state of purifying our souls

# data[].attributes.body
yes, tend to go into a sad/dep mood heh, by calling out to Him and crying, asking for help

# data[].attributes.body
both, as in while like clearing the table or after washing the dishes would check the cake to see if its okay and excited and nervous at the same time haha

# data[].attributes.body
yes but tend to sometimes overlook the recipe, add here and there and also have good opinion InshaAllah the cake will taste nice with putting intentions foremost eventhough first time buat haha

# data[].attributes.body
Because we are created in the best of forms- with a purpose- and the best example(Rasulullah saw) and thus the calling over and over again is to work towards betterment so we can achieve our purpose and attain His Love.

# data[].attributes.body
naturally we all love receiving gifts as it increases the love between one another and the joy of receiving the gift from a beloved

# data[].attributes.body
no haha, as we all would like to receive the love back so as to know that the other side appreciate and there would be a stronger bond between them as they help each other in the path to Allah

# data[].attributes.body
To have lived my purpose, true to my values and be of benefit to people.

# data[].attributes.body
I will check once in a while

# data[].attributes.body
This is because Allah has generously opened the doors of knowledge (like what Ustazah mentioned last week). So it goes back to us to reflect and put the knowledge into action so that we may be the best version of ourselves as a daughter, wife, mother, sister and friend to others.
