Fate

In the name of Allah The Most Gracious & Most Merciful

  رَبَّنَا آتِنَا فِي الدُّنيَا حَسَنَةً وَفِي الآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّار

 وَصَلَّى الله عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلَّم، سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ العِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ،

 العَالَمِينَ  وَسَلاَمٌ عَلَى المُرْسَلِينَ وَالحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ 

An-nihayah to our daily doa. I didn't know why...but after solah 'isya, those verses were hard to be recited. it was like at that very moment, my vocal chords were restricted to utter the usual simple doa. being the one to recite it out loud for jamaah, i quickly held a long breath and continued to finish it despite the tachycardia. 

That was weird...what's with the sudden stuttering and goosebumps? 

feeling like something bad was going to happen, i confided in zhafirah. she told me that everything was gonna be fine but my conscience told me the other way round... 

And that was somewhere a week ago.

Today, as i was browsing through the internet, my hp rang. Papa was on the caller id. *yeayyy!!!!* but wait, local time in malaysia :1.30 am. why would he call at such hour? i pressed the answer button with skepticism.

may Allah bless his soul and place him among the al-abrar. ameen. 

كُلُّ نَفْسٍ ذَآئِقَةُ الْمَوْتِ

 وَإِنَّمَا تُوَفَّوْنَ أُجُورَكُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَمَن زُحْزِحَ عَنِ النَّارِ وَأُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَدْ فَازَ وَما الْحَيَاةُ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ مَتَاعُ الْغُرُورِ

Every soul shall have a taste of death: and only on the Day of Judgment shall you be paid your full recompense. Only he who is saved far from the Fire and admitted to the Garden will have attained the object (of Life): for the life of this world is but goods and chattels of deception.

(Surat Al-Imran - Ayah 185)

Imam Al-Ghazali (may Allah SWT be pleased to him) ever said  : 

“The closest thing to a man is death”.

The mid year exam will start on 17th jan and is only 8 days away...it's a date that was told beforehand. What about death? Do you know when YOU will die? Masya Allah... Let's be prepared for both imtihan~ (a reminder to me & you) To all cairo uni students, all the best! Allahumma yassirlana amrina~  

 اِجْهَدْ وَلاَ تَكْسَلْ وَلاَ تَكُ غَافِلاً فَنَدَامَةُ العُقْبىَ لِمَنْ يَتَكاَسَل

Be really determined and do not be lazy and do not delay,
 because of remorse for the people who mooch.

Wallahu'alam~
