That small effort… Always means something
Bismillah I had quite a long class and meeting today and hence was out of reach from my phone until night time. And guess what popped up when I switched on my phone again. I was greeted with this: I let out a small yelp (despite being in a public space), shocked – but in […]
Retrying
Bismillah Salam and ‘ello, there my dusty ‘ol companion. Think not for a moment that I have disregarded you. Or that you do not matter anymore. You do. Still do, always do. I think of you – if not daily, almost daily – for I still have your tiny little app on my phone. And […]
What’s in the name…?
Bismillah His name is Faris. Short for Farisi. Recently (well, it has been quite a while now) I bought a new car. (Note: for those who have been following my blog would recall among my earliest entries on how I used to have this can’t-live-with-it-can’t-live-without-it car. You can read it in this post.) After getting […]
Continue on!
Continue to be nice; continue to do good – no matter where, when, how or to whom. You are not doing it for them – you are doing it for Him. Rayyan Islam
Where did we go wrong?
Bismillah Something a friend said sort of hit me in a way. Just recently we went for a leadership course oversea. During the event, at one point, we were asked to jot down in a form our day of departure, the time and the airport that we will be using, by one of the committees. […]
Covered
Bismillah We had an event recently, my team and I. Being active in a mosue’s youth group, programmes upon programmes came rattling like a train on schedule is a norm. So recently, we had to meet up to settle the prizes and gifts which we will be handing out to the public for the said […]
Perfection exists
Bismillah Perfection exists in this world and that is the Kalam of Allah SWT; the Qur’an. And when it enters our hearts, it fulfills, it purifies, it heals. Rayyan Islam
A rough voyage
It had been a tough voyage for the ship. Time after time their small vessel was attacked, ambushed and haphazardly bombarded by rolls of gigantic waves. But the crew did not lose spirit. A crack here, they rushed to patch it up quickly. Seawater coming in, they took their pails and shoved it out swiftly, […]
Expectation / criteria
Bismillah There is a common scene, especially if we arrive at a new place, and suddenly there’s a call of nature. Dreadfully we start to make a beeline for the toilet, but will not enter before nudging our friend to enter first. And when she is finally out, we would not not ask that million-dollar […]
On maturity
Bismillah Maturity is not one thing, rather it is a harmonious blend of many things such as physical maturity (puberty), mental maturity (how you view the world), emotional maturity (how you control your emotions), spiritual maturity (how you are with God), material maturity (having survival skills, like cooking), intrapersonal maturity (how you are with yourself), […]
