pain

it is said that pain can be one's greatest mentor.
a lesson learned via pain is a humbling experience, with a more lasting impression.
it purifies the soul when taken with content
so when things get pretty bad, find comfort in this.
that everything has its place, a hikmah, well hidden within.

ramadhan

alhamdulillah, ramadhan is back again. :)

remember to read a lot of quran for in the month of ramadhan, every ayat read is given the reward of one khatam (now, :) please refer to ustaz as i got this from them )

be careful of what u say and do coz we dont wanna waste our good deeds with the bad ones.

ok, terawih can be very challenging at some places. they dont read surah lazim anymore and although it's really cool to hear the hafiz citing passages from the quran, im not sure whether i can sustain the stamina for more or less 30 days.

virtue

i wish my heart does not change as the passing season.
but being human, i am naturally flawed.
i have tried to be virtuous, but ever so often, regression would envy me.
is there not a manner to be consistently righteous?
must man become captive of his own desire?

freedom

if life is a test, then i guess, true freedom can only be attained by leaving what is wrong and doing what is right as defined by islam.

bad habits, things that have imprisoned you for all this while must go. if not, no salvation can be found in life or that after.

superiority via condescension

i guess the aphorism holds true. "highlighting flaws does not make one superior".

i've been perusing through the chrestomathy of certain authors that seem enthused of putting others down in their effort of promoting superiority.

well, what can i say. this *prehistoric* rhetorical strategy might've worked at one of those mamak stall debates but in here, it's completely futile.

still, gotta hand it to you, it's kinda cute.

after years of supposedly intellectual evolution, these people have not grown beyond their primitive needs. needs that i used to witness in my early years of schooling, are now dominant yet again.
