The End....

You know how people say all good things come to an end, well its not true. The person who made that phrase up mustn't have been a muslim. In fact for a muslim, Alhamdulillah, i say all bad things come to an end. I mean the ultimate is that even the worse muslim does not abide in Hellfire forever. Through the Mercy of Allah the well deserved torture does come to an end. Likewise in dunya, the misery will come to an end. It may be further away than what you would like or it maybe sooner than you think, but that's not for us to decide. See Allah decides our end and our begining and our middle (read it in the right order if you wish).

Yesterday i put a mark in my diary (date style, not 'Dear Diary'). Saturday the 12th of May 2007. Allahu Akbar! Yesterday was an end to alot of things. It is very possible that many others will have marked this day also but for different reasons. For them it could have been THE day which saw to the begining of something great, or the middle of something not so great but the best of it is that for some of us it was the end of something bad. Thats why i say bad things do come to an end, but whether the effects of it come to an end in this lifetime, that's something i can't testify to yet, but i'm hoping one day i can, insha'Allah. The beauty of the ending of the bad thing is that you can see the good that comes out of it. Which is why Allah tells us you may dislike a thing and it is good for you and you may like something and it is bad for you......

A reality we are all aware of, muslims and non muslims, is that all this will come to an end. This we know. What we don't know (side point - There is more we dont know than what we do know) is where our final end will be. And this unknown end of ours, this my dears, is only with Allah, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. So lets not treat this world as though its all we got, neither making it a Jannah on earth or making it a living hell. We'll get whats coming to us.....

The Al Kauthar Experience

Well Alhamdulillah, i finally got to go to a course conducted by Al Kauthar. After hearing so much about it and even dreaming before going to a course, Allah decreed for me to go Alhamdulillah. I had hyped myself up for it and you know how you normally hype yourself for something, it just doesnt meet your expectation i.e marriage (ha, had to get that one in!), well this wasnt the case here. I loved it! masha'Allah! the course was Price of Salvation - all about zakat! And i was keen to go on this, ok so it maybe very technical and im so not good at numbers, but even so loved it. Because it made me realise how much i do not know! head down in shame and humble oneself. for me it was quite intellectually challenging, i say because of the maths, but other than that Alhamdulillah not too complicated. Even if i did confess to the shaykh and my fellow Al Kauthar students 'Im lost' and i think i kinda made a hand movement. NOTE - I DID NOT GIGGLE!!! as one of my over imaginative friend claims. There was nothing to giggle about, so why would i giggle???!! I may have had a jokey tone to my statement as i found it quite typicsal of myself to be confused and so i was bemused, but i repeat I DID NOT GIGGLE..........Will continue with this insha'Allah. i share a room, so have to respect my youngers while they kick me off the comp!! ay the youth these days.................
