of heaven and earth.

bismillah. today Allah gave me a gift. an extra one hour to live. we could fill in an hour with plenty of things. an extra hour to have a Halloween party, an extra hour to sleep, an extra hour to read, an extra hour to chat, an extra our to devote ourselves to the One..all sorts. the choices we're given.

mind's turning,
clock's ticking,
people dancing,
Allah's watching.

after doing my ethics case study, i think i'm a bit of a consequentialist mixed with some virtue ethics. for us humans, our final consequence would be heaven and hell. i wonder sometimes, when we talk about heaven and hell, do I really see it in my head as how I would see the material things in this world? how solid is my faith? is it as solid as this table i'm using? if so, i'm worried because i think this table's a bit wobbly =_=;

Diriwayatkan daripada Jabir, ia berkata, "Bahawa pada perang Uhud ada seorg laki-laki bertanya kepada Nabi, "Jika aku terbunuh di manakah tempatku?, " beliau menjawab: "Di dalam syurga." Lalu org itu melemparkan butir-butir kurma yg masih ada di tangannya kemudian ia maju (ke tengah2 musuh), sehingga akhirnya ia mati terbunuh." HR Bukhari (4046) dan Muslim (1899)

this is totally a jaw-dropping example of faith!

يَا عِبَادِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ وَلَا أَنْتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ

(43:68) (It will be said to them): “My servants, today you have nothing to fear or regret

الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا بِآَيَاتِنَا وَكَانُوا مُسْلِمِينَ

(43:69) you who believed in Our Signs and had surrendered yourselves (to Us)!

ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ أَنْتُمْ وَأَزْوَاجُكُمْ تُحْبَرُونَ

(43:70) Enter Paradise joyfully, both you and your spouses.” *60

*60 The believers will be accompanied both by their believing wives and by their believing friends in Paradise.

يُطَافُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِصِحَافٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ وَأَكْوَابٍ وَفِيهَا مَا تَشْتَهِيهِ الْأَنْفُسُ وَتَلَذُّ الْأَعْيُنُ وَأَنْتُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

(43:71) Platters and cups of gold shall be passed around them, and there shall be all that they might desire and all that their eyes might delight in. (They shall be told): “Herein shall you abide for ever.

وَتِلْكَ الْجَنَّةُ الَّتِي أُورِثْتُمُوهَا بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

(43:72) Such is the Paradise that you shall inherit by virtue of your good deeds in the life of the world.

لَكُمْ فِيهَا فَاكِهَةٌ كَثِيرَةٌ مِنْهَا تَأْكُلُونَ

(43:73) Herein you will have abundant fruits of which you will eat.”

mashaAllah. can i say reward is directly proportional to redha Allah?

motto of the day: Towards His blessings and beyond.
