.Begins from the heart.
Assalammualaikum. Alhamdullilah syukran, Ramadhan mubarak is here. Anticipating this Ramadhan with a different and mature feeling. Insya'allah it will be a better Ramadhan this year for myself as well for my family, friends and all Muslims around the world. Before reaching Ramadhan, I was very eager for it to come. However, when it is already Ramadhan, a part of my heart hopes that Ramadhan can be lengthen. I felt there still so much for me to learn to be a better muslimah. This past three Ramadhans taught me how essential to manage my time properly for ibadah, family as well as work. Its far from what I expected my body can handle. Its certainly different this year. And insya'allah I'll pray my new tiny step beginnings to be near and understanding as well as loving Al Quran will prolong even after Ramadhan ends insya'allah.
Temptations are everywhere ain't them? Only with His guidance, we will be able to resist those temptations. Ya Allah, the temptations to watch my Korean favourite drama is something I need to work with. Alhamdullilah, for now, I am still able to control. I pray hard, that my heart is strong enough to avoid the temptations and to remember Allah everytime when I think about all those story plots and charasmatic characters. Today's lecture heard by Nouman Ali Kahn again:), is about 'sexual desires'. It matches with what I am dealing right now. Allah berfirman, "Don't come close to the path of sexual desires". Allahhuakabar! Sexual desires are all those small paths taken that which will then eventually lead us to neraka jahanam. Every little closer step we take to nearing sexual desire, we are actually letting syaitan to control what we want to hear. Astargfirllahalazim! Therefore, Ya Allah I am more persevere to make use of this month to avoid watching my addicted Korean dramas which actually without me knowing had little tiny steps of sexual desires in its content.
I admit I can't stop hearing lectures and sharing from Nouman Ali Khan. His sharings are sincere and straight to the point. His talk made me think most of the times. Why are we here to serve Allah? How do we serve Allah? How do we care for people around us? What makes Al Quran great? These are some fo the questions that would always pop when I listened to his talk every time. With His guidance, the words that came out from his mouth were able to stay in my heart too. Thank you Ya Allah, for bringing me some guidance through Brother Nouman. Allah is very merciful indeed. Allah will brings us closer to something/ someone positive that we ourselves didn't know initially. May this video benefit you as well.
