I Was With Them

Splendid way to spend my Saturday….

A maulid session with lovers of Rasulullah S.A.W from Majelis Rasulullah Singapura in the afternoon.

Cleansing the soul at Spa Ilahi – Therapy Zikrullah at Madrasah Aljunied in the evening.

Blissful!

Lovers Gather

I know it’s been a while since my last update. I had the time to write, but I could make myself to log in here. I had no idea why.

Let me start afresh, by sharing the events that I want to go, InsyaAllah. The gardens of paradise where all the lovers of Rasulullah S.A.W gather…

With Open Heart

Hubby and I surprised our children with breakfast from McDonald’s, delivered to our house. We could see how happy they were, eating and chatting, having breakfast with the whole family.

Today Hubby flies off for overseas working trip. We went to the airport, had our lunch together, then off he went to check-in. I was grateful that Hubby and I spent a quiet moment alone without the kids before he went in. After our children bid goodbye to their Abah, they went for a walk with my cousin and aunt, who came down to airport to have lunch with us.

I let him go with an open heart. Sadness still lingers, but I am confident that Allah will protect him when he’s there, and Allah will protect my children and I when we’re here. I trust Allah, and I trust him. He hugged and kissed me, whispered some du’a that soothed my emotion, and he entered the gate.

At home, I teared when I heard my children said some du’a to Allah, after their Maghrib prayer, for their Abah’s safety in other country. But I tickled when I also heard that they asked Allah to get Abah to buy all sorts of chocolates for them when he returns.

I saw Affandy back in prostrated position after his salam during Isyak prayer. When asked, he said he prayed for his Abah in sujud, instead of lifting his hands up, because Allah loves it when we sujud. How can I not love this little young man??

Hubby called up from his hotel later at night. It felt so good to hear his voice. We talked for awhile before I went to bed.

Tonight, Affandy has the chance to sleep with me. He doesn’t want me to sleep alone, that’s what he says. Knowing him, he has been waiting for this chance for the longest time. He took the opportunity to sleep with me when Hubby is not in town.

InsyaAllah, tomorrow and Wednesday, my children and I want to perform fasting on the 10 and 11 of Muharram. May Allah always be with us, and Hubby….

Trust

So Blessed

Little thing that can make a wife feel so blessed and contented to have her husband by her side…hold hands. ♥

I Chose

Aryna — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 09:30:00 +0000

I was actually upset over an issue last night till I cried before going to bed. This morning I woke up feeling miserable. I hate this feeling. I did not want to carry this burden throughout the day.

It was raining heavily when I woke up at Subuh. Such a cool, beautiful weather. I didn’t know where it came from, but something told me to let the miserable feeling go. No point being upset over thing beyond my control. And if I pursue the matter, someone would be unhappy. Would that make me happy? Definitely, no.

So, I chose to be happy. I chose to enlighten my mood. I chose to be positive. I chose to let it go and followed the flow.

Alhamdulillah, I felt so much better. The miserable feeling was gone. My heart felt lighter.

The best part, my day went smoothly. Afrina and Affandy went back to sleep after their Subuh prayer. Afiqah went to school for her CCA. Hubby and I spent quiet alone moment together. Afrina did the cooking today. Hubby and I went to JB for our lunch date and grocery shopping. Later at night, we will be going out again as a couple to a friend’s solemnization ceremony and a movie date after that.

Blissful!! Alhamdulillah….

Anak-Anak Cinta Rasul @ Masjid Sultan

Aryna — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 15:50:00 +0000

I had actually decided not to attend the kuliah at Masjid Sultan tonight due to my condition. But Allah wanted me to be there. When Hubby came back from work, he asked me to get ready and follow. How could I defy his instruction? His redha is Allah’s redha for me. Reluctantly, I went along.

Oh my Lord, I was grateful to be there. The energy and atmosphere at Masjid Sultan made me forget that I was sick. Ustaz Shafi taught us on the speciality of 10 Muharram – Hari ‘Asyura and the du’a. What awed me was the selawat and qasidah in between the class.

I was in tears looking at my son, Affandy, sitting on the stage with his Anak-Anak Cinta Rasul brothers, hitting his gendang, inspirited himself with the selawat. MasyaAllah… A mother’s pride and gratefulness that could not be described in words.

Thank you Allah for letting me have him as my son. Please protect him always, Ya Allah. Make his heart grows fond and full of love for our beloved Rasulullah S.A.W. May he continues reciting selawat in his heart always. Ameen….

Under Weather

Aryna — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 08:44:21 +0000

I am still sick. Infact, worse than yesterday. My nose is totally blocked. I have to breathe through my mouth. Now I’ve start to cough. My throat is really sore.

Drinking hot plain water has never felt so good. I have forgotten how great it feels when the hot water passed through the throat, especially when the throat is in pain. I used to drink plain hot water a few years back. Now I want to start again.

Despite being unwell, I still did the laundries, folded and ironed the clothes, cleared the kitchen etc. The only thing I did not do is to cook. Not just because I have no idea what to cook, there’s nothing much left in the fridge. I have no strength to go to the market. So I got Afrina to buy packed lunch from nearby coffeeshop.

I was having my short nap when I heard the shouting and bickering. I think my children forget that I am resting inside my room as they are always considerate when I am sick. I pity them actually. Today is the second week of school holidays, yet there’s not much activities for them. How to go out when I am sick, Afrina has her madrasah exams and Afiqah has CCA to attend at school? And it has been raining heavily in the most afternoons that they can’t go out and play. So, the TV, DVDs, PSP, PC and IPad2 are their companions which I don’t really agree. I thought of planning some outings next week but Hubby will not be in town. So I guess it’s just me and my children.
