kau datang tidak membawa mawar,

-Ustaz Abdul Somad

It’s tiring to sin, though you’ve tried many times

You’ve tried million times but yet you still fall

Million times too..

And with how much you’ve sinned

Repent to Him

Million times,

Remember ,

“All of the children of Adam are sinners, and the best sinners are those who repent.”

Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2499

I am strong

I know I can do it

But do I know about myself?

What are the purpose of my life?

Be strong girl...

God love me..

Today I am still alive

Be better everyday...

Life is not an easy journey when you are alone...

Life is not as simple as what you thought...

Sometimes it can make you feel happy, sometimes it can make you feel angry and it also can make you feel sad too..

But remember this one thing, Allah always with us and watching us, so whenever you in a though conditions, just make Dua and hoping that everything will be alright through the meantime

A quotes that always rings in my kind every time:

" Bilamana kau jatuh and tersungkur kerana dunia dan tipu helah manusia, ingatlah untuk sujud balik kepada pencipta yang satu"

Rm🤍

You wanted to love and companionship and you thought it would be found with that person.

So ask Allah for what you really want.

Open yourself up to new possible and trust in Allah's plan.

And sometimes He will place blessings on your path from places that you least expected.

Life is an experience, and this is the first time you’re experiencing living.

Be yourself.

Trust me its worth

So try, try and keep trying

Don’t ever give up

Okay?

🫂🫂🫂here, virtual hugs for u

Anger kills wisdom

Fear kills dream

Ego kills growth

Jealousy kills peace

Doubt kills confidence

Now read that from right to left.

Never stop being a good person.

Alhamdullilah.

And I have something to share which is how powerful our Du'a can be.. Du'a actually can grant more than we ask... Allah Al- Hasib, Al-Alim, Al-Kafi.. When we believe in Allah means we believe all His assistance and help and it will come on the right time and the right situation InshaAllah... so when we want to ask for something we can do istighfar and correct our niat from the bottom of our heart.. feel it❤️ and make the sincere Du'a... it can be more powerful if we include not only ourselves but the others in our Du'a..🥰

Hence, before we start something, Let's ask Allah to ease everything 🤭

Birds don't just fly, they fall down and get up
Nobody learns without gettin' it wrong

I won't give up, no, I won't give in
'Til I reach the end, and then I'll start again
No, I won't leave, I wanna try everything
I wanna try even though I could fail

Today mark the first day of my 3rd year. I dont feel sad (it about time to break down ahahha) but also i dont feel happy at all. After 2years here, I got no friends :’) The friends by my definition is the one that I can talk comfortably with them, the one can go out with , the one I can share my daily life, my hobbies, my excitement etc. The one that have same wavelength with me. I always said to myself “youre introvert person. You dont need anyone” HAHAHA WHAT A LIE. 🥱 Everytime I saw a group of friends, i will be like “ damn, bestnya ada geng. “ and then crying silently.

I really want my own degree memories. Going out for nature, foods, even exercising,brisk walking🥲 I tried to do it alone. Tbh, I will be happy for a while but the boom! crying at night.

I do enjoy being myself. Doing everthing alone. Walking to the class alone. Staying in the library (THIS IS ANOTHER PROBLEM. LIBRARY RELOCATE JAUH GILA😭😭😭😭😭 ITS MY COMFORT PLACE. HOW CAN I SURVIVE WITHOUT MY COMFORT PLACE IN THE CAMPUS ARGHHHH) I loves reading. I read a lot of books. Fiction mainly ofcos ahak. But at the end of the day, I would say i can count how many words comeout from my mouth especially hri tkda kelas.

I feel kosong. Something missing.

P/s : mcm agak brbelit kan😂 yep that is my mind condition rn. dia mcm suka alone tapi tk suka. 😔🔫 Mybe you can give me some words, to atleast make me feel better a little bit. That’s all bye!

Dua is a sign of humbleness of servant towards Allah, and ones reliancy to Him (supplication). Believe in Allah, believe that He is All Hearing, hearing your plea and Dua in every second of this life. He is the one Who holds all matters in this universe, so why being dependant fully on humans that didn't know his own future tomorrow when you can raise your hand to the The Most Merciful (ar Rahman), The All Compelling (al Jabbar), The Supreme Bestower (al Wahhab) and The Total Provider (ar Razzaq)? Raise your hand, purify yourself from dirtiness by wudhu and sins, and make Dua to Him, again, and again.

So, how about Dua that have been left 'unanswered'?

One should never assume that Allāh granting the request of his slave is due to his esteem and dignity, nor should he assume that His refusal of His slave’s request is related to His contempt for that slave. Rather, His granting and His refusal is but a trial, both are used to test His slaves.

‘So as for (the trait of the polytheist) man (who has no conviction in the resurrection and the Hereafter), when His Lord tries him by being generous to him and favouring him (with wealth and increase), then he says (with joy and pride): “My Lord has honoured me” (without praising and thanking Him). But when He tries him and restricts his provision (to the bare necessities), he says: “My Lord has humiliated me” (without appreciating his soundness of health and the little he has been given). No! (Both these claims are rejected, you were not honoured with riches, nor humiliated with poverty. Rather, you were put to trial).’

[Al-Fajr, 89:15-17]

Not every single individual that Allah have given or granted or blessed, He have honoured. Nor is it due to their esteem with Him, rather it is but a test from Him, an assessment of them:

Will he thank Him so that He grant him even more? Or will he disbelieve in me so that He can take back that which He has granted him and instead grant the same gift to someone else?

Just as not everyone He choose to test through restriction of provision such that they possess nothing that exceeds their needs; He has disgraced. Rather, it is His test and assessment of him:

Will he be patient such that He grants him severalfold the generous provision that he has missed out on? Or will he become annoyed, grieved, and anxious such that he only possesses those [negative feelings].

Dua trains us to trust Him in every matter in our lives. From our beginning until the very end. Dua is not about give and take; Dua is a sign that you trust Him to give yourself the best answer for your plea. Even if you didn't receive the answer from your Dua yet or given the opposite from what you have asked for, YOU TRUST HIM that Allah has given you the best outcome, and practicing Sabr' and Syukr. The same response when your Dua is granted, sabr and syukr. That, is the essence of a Muslim and a peaceful life, as the meaning of Islam itself; peace.

As an adolescent and throughout most of my upbringing, I had the mindset that mental health was some gimmick expanded by the "pick-me's" of the world. I believed that those struggling with their minds were weak. I think that this mindset reflected a lot of how I was brought up and the taboo-ness of not being okay when others were seen to be struggling way more than myself. When I was younger, at least.

This all changed within the first year of my degree when I was officially diagnosed with MDD with anxiety disorder. I was shocked at this diagnosis because I couldn't believe how much my mind was affecting me. I always viewed myself as problem-solving and headstrong. The built-in "first daughter" replacement for my many younger siblings, as my eldest sister has physical and mental disabilities. I thought that if I was strong enough to carry my oldest sister (whom, might I add, has a big appetite), then I should be strong enough to handle anything. Haha. Maybe Allah SWT was trying to test me with my somewhat arrogant way of thinking.

I didn't realize how much I was sleeping, not eating, and just isolating myself. I did not realize how bad I'd gotten until I went home and my family was worried. I would rather not delve into the details of why I was the way I was, but the point is, that I was struggling with some internal battles that only Allah and I know the true depth of.

After trying to escape my mind and myself, I decided to change majors to be closer to my family. This ended up being a short-term solution. Instead of sleeping too much, I was barely able to sleep most nights. The weight loss came back, and the loneliness suffocated me. Your mental health truly does affect your physical health. I felt like such a weak person. To be honest, I still struggle with feeling weak on most days, even now.

I was referred to revisit a psychiatrist, by the university clinic, as I was starting to struggle with not being able to sleep for nights and asking for medication to help with that. My doctor suspected I had ADHD / ADHD tendencies. These factors, compounded by my loneliness in a different place and lack of motivation in my new major (which I disliked terribly), resulted in the cycle of depression continuing. Something within me felt like I had had enough. I could not keep pushing myself to be okay. With the support of my doctor, I ended up taking a medical semester leave. It seemed that running away from my problems was not the cure to fix whatever wrong that was going on within me.

Truth be told, I think I have been the healthiest, mentally, after taking this break. I listened to my gut feeling that told me this was the right move. Perhaps others wouldn't need to halt their studies to be better, but the point I am making is we all have our struggles. We never truly know how a person truly is, mentally, and how much mental pain a person can hold differs from one another.

I re-entered my degree back in my original major, after appealing, and a long process. I expected the worst but hoped for the best. Alhamdulillah, I survived. I am still here.

Though I will have to extend, and that comes with a sense of embarrassment in myself, I don't believe that I would be able to be this clear-headed and motivated if it weren't for taking the pause I needed. Taking care of my mental health with the help of doctors, my family, myself, and my faith.

I still struggle with being okay on some days. With getting myself going, with eating. However, at the end of the day, I try to remind myself that we are the ones who have to live with ourselves each day, so we should take care of ourselves. We never know how much a person is truly suffering within. You might not know what has been building up inside them and what could be the "last straw" to push them over the edge. Just remember, there are always people out there who love you and support you silently. So, don't be too hard on yourself, okay? Everyone has their own little journeys in life. Trust the process and take care of your health.

I think this story is kind of all over the place, but my point is that you should take care of your mental health so you don't end up making big mistakes like I did. However, if you do make mistakes, don't be so hard on yourself. We are just human after all. As much as we try to alter our fate and our minds, only He is the one capable of granting us the clarity we need.

Anyways, Imma end it with this quote:

"Mental health is not a destination, but a process. It's about how you drive, not where you're going"

- Noam Shpancer, PHD

Always put Allah number one in all of your decision. When you do that you will never care about the 'insecurities'.

Every one want the best, I want to be pretty and good-looking, I want to be someone's admirer, I want to get 4 flat,

But

Have you think, does Allah care about all of that? In quran Allah says, "Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allāh is the most righteous¹ of you. Indeed, Allāh is Knowing and Aware" (al hujurat , verse 13)

Open your quran and think about that. The most important thing I do what Allah ask not I do what I want

Allah always by your side 💖

Take things one day at a time, and be kind to yourself. It’s okay to feel off sometimes, what matters is pushing through, even when it’s hard. You’ve come so far already, and you’ll keep moving forward. You've got this! 💪✨

Just like a moon, it doesn’t need to be whole for it to shine 🌙

(Quran 9:40)

Trust Allah, everything will be fine 💗

Have faith that better days are coming. You are not alone in this—Allah is guiding you every step of the way. Just hold on and keep believing; soon, you’ll see how everything will work out as it should.

STUDY HARD ! no matter if it seems impossible, no matter if it takes time, no matter if you have to up all night, just remember that the feeling of success is the best thing in entire world.

REMEMBER !!!

Your parents are waiting for your SUCCESS

i want to tell you that im veryvery proud of you and support you no matter what happen !!

dont be so hard on yourself !!

thankyou sm for trying the best today !!

Also, crying doesn't make you weak. don't forget to always validate yourself and your feelings.

La takhaf wa la tahzan innallaha ma'ana ♡

In shaa Allah akan tenang

But, in reality you just love being at peace. And you're actually extrovert around people who bring you peace.

- Zachary Laid

Hey, you're good?

Sorry to break you,

but life's tough, isn't?

You've failed, and it's real.

You've been hurt, and it's real.

You're tired, and it's real.

This is not a children movie where everything is cupcake and rainbow,

This is not a fairytale where charming prince will save you,

It won't happen, and you know it.

Shed me your tears,

I'll lend you my ears,

Show me your smiles,

Even its just for awhile,

You're amazing, I'm proud of you.

You're strong, you can bear this sorrow.

You will make it through Tomorrow,

It's all written in His Promises,

Where no lie nor doubt relies.

"Success is not final, failure is not fatal. It is the courage to continue that counts."

 (Winston Churchill)

As for now, we still have time to be a successful person both in this life and the Hereafter.

Remember that our effort is the engine of success.

The scars mean you have survived.

missed an opportunity?

there's always another one.

doors will close to protect u from things that aren't mean for u! u just have to be brave enough to walk through the ones that do open.

“O My servants who have exceeded the limits against their souls! Do not lose hope in Allah’s mercy, for Allah certainly forgives all sins. He is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

Al-Zumar, verse 53
