Ayyuhal walad
Bismillah.
SubhanaAllah…now was that not a long, long, looong hiatus?
Alhamdullilah, the H, houris of our house has just brilliantly got us all hooked up with the internet! This house has been electronicnetless since the day we moved in…aye, that was about nearly 5 weeks ago.
It’s good tho’, when I need the net to go online for my arabic lessons, i diligently trek the 10+5 minute trek-if-you-count the extra 5-6minutes to the nearest computer lab-to-uni-trek.
All that tea, biscuits, chocolate, cheese and what-have-you-in the kitchen are a handy fuel after all =)
Alhamdullilah! Now, i can skype with family, and online hqing, and and…criminal minds..oo, no, no dunya inshaAllah. none of that thanks. and the emails i have to replyyyy..and and..
so this is going to be Bussy as the loudest Buzz of the bee you can get. my presentation is tomoroooww…please make dua that I don’t shame myself!! well…that’s not the worst of it… i might just go on and on and on…eeee. ok, fullstop.
and then whaa..dante seminar is also on tommoroww..reading needs to be done after this. thenn Essay on friday. ok ok, alhamdullilah..that is pretty much my superficial woes. nothing serious really!! unnecessary drama!
(oh..and arabic test due next week =0)
anyhootie.. the first place i visit in honor, in coronation of my return to the www, indeed, i went to sister’s website.
and that is the main purpose of my writing tonight. something she wrote reminded me to remind her. the last time we talked (aieeee…she HAS turned into some sort of CNN political spokesman!) she reminded me ‘Ka, study for the sake of Allah’. SubhanaAllah, and that is a great reminder especially for someone like me.
Now here is my turn. Something I read from Imam Al-Ghazali’s “Letter to A Disciple”.
Just an extract, hokay?
…I have seen in the Gospel of Jesus (upon him be blessings and peace), ‘From the moment the dead man is put on the bier till he is put at the graveside, God in His Majesty will ask Him forty questions. the firs of them is “Worshipper of Mine, for years you purified yourself in view of men and not for an hour did you purify yourself in view of Me.” And every day He looks into your heart He says “What is this you are doing for others than Myself, when it is my goodness with which you are surrounded? But as for you, you are deaf and heedless!”"
Allah hu akbar
