Difficult Beginning Promises Something Big

Have you ever realized that the matter you desire the most has the hardest path to achieve it?

The transition between what you initially aim, and the time you start to work for it, is always difficult.

It's like when you are initiating to blow a balloon, you need to put a lot of effort to make it expand. But once you achieved a certain amount of air inside the balloon, you will now feel it is easier to continue blowing it.

So, believe that this hardship is just temporary. You will gain what you aim for in the end, Inshaallah. May Allah ease our journey with His guidance. :)

A Wondrous Gift

 

As I was reading this book full of inspirational insight, I asked myself. 

"Ya Allah, what did I do that you sent me this kind of person in order for me to read this? Do I deserve this?"

Then I realized, its not because of what I did. But it's because of Allah's Mercy on his servant. He gives because He wants me to learn. To gain benefit from it. And not for only that, it came with amanah. For me to practice from it. And to spread the knowledge that He has given to me. Allahuakbar.

Reading this has also given me goosebumps. I'm always imagining what if I am given the fate of going out there? Or perhaps if I were in their shoes, will I be able to be strong and brave enough to deal with it?

As I go through the words from Dr David Nott, visual imaginary played in my mind - the props, the war field, the characters, the impending bombs and missiles exploding. As if I can see and feel the situation. Mind blowing. Never had I encounter this kind of reading materials before. In fact, strangely and somehow, I became interested in it.

It might seem nothing much, but truly it gives a whole lot of impact on me. 

A wondrous gift, it is.

Thank you.
