thank you aunty!

in His name, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

and peace be upon you.

as i was studying for my exam, a little voice said, "You've Got Mail". okay not really, that's old school. how cool would it be if they still have that little yellow AIM dude that says, "You've Got Mail". those were the days when you received ONE email and can get so excited... now you can just be lazy to even respond. i am so guilty as charge... a habit that needs to die too. my apologies if i've done it to anyone that reads this :)

anyways, here's what she said,


"Segala ujian is to develope kesabaran dan kesyukuran . This test will  always pass our way and selalulah kita beringat agar akhirnya kita selamat dunia dan akhirat . Ujian juga will develope our keyakinan towards Allah swt and strengthen our faith. Jangan if Allah do not grant our wishes and we have bad sangkaan buruk terhadapnya. so kita kena bersyukur dalam apa jua keadaan and we shall see more of Allah bounties if we pause and ponder."


And she ended the email with a some words to ponder as I embrace this journey in my life of loving, learning, and seeking.


Bila engkau memandang segalanya dari Tuhanmu 
yang menciptakan segalanya, 
yang menimpakan ujian, 
yang menjadikan sakit hatimu, 
yang membuat keinginanmu terhalang, 
serta menyusahkan hidupmu, 
pasti akan damailah hatimu kerana, 
masakan Allah sengaja mentakdirkan segalanya untuk sesuatu yang sia-sia... 
Bukan kerana Allah tidak tahu derita hidupmu, 
retaknya hatimu, 
tapi mungkin itulah yang DIA mahu, 
kerana DIA tahu, 
hati yang sebeginilah yang lebih lunak, 
mudah untuk dekat dan akrab dengan-NYA...

i don't know if there's ever enough that i can do to show her my thank. but i know that with prayers for her and family, a wind will pass her by my words of appreciation. aunty, i know you don't read this and probably won't ever and not even words are enough to thank you. but i must do this, i must tell the world of your generosity and of your words, in hopes that another person can also be as touched and motivated as me. Thank you for constantly giving me good advice, being patient with me, and thank you for your doa's for me and my family. i am blessed to have met such a great hearted person like you. may Allah bless you always!
