Coming of Age


Assalamu'alaykum,

All praise is due to Him, Lord of the Worlds. Glorified is Allah in His loftiness.

The path I trod on for the last 6 months got me out of my depth. I was chained by shackles of difficulties and the predicament that I was tied with had invigorated my soul as well as my spatial cognition to deal with the challenges that kept on lining up in my way. The situation was ineffable and I frequently grumbled about my inability to cope with the problems. I isolated myself from the people. The Qur'an and prayer mat were my closest friends and I prostrated everyday to Allah to absolve me from the distress.

I know, this sounds so hapless, helpless and hopeless, but it had given me so many lessons on life. Only Allah knows how much had I bawled almost everyday under the blanket, during the prayer, knowing myself was so weak. When things went against my way, it crashed my heart severely. Faith. Life. Ikhtillat. Deeds. Indulgence. Honesty. One of the events that was not that serious really got me heated up was when my friends and I were accused of committing plagiarism for copying answers. It was a take-home test and we did it together and all of a sudden, to have the same structures got we all in utter misery. My carry mark was deducted and I got less than half. Nevertheless, I believed everything happened for a reason and I left everything to Allah to do the rest. (It's the toughest course)

Insha Allah, I shall share with you things I have experienced throughout my journey in my second year of study in IIUM in the upcoming posts.

Besides that, Alhamdulillah, 2011 ended with exhilarating, Iman-boosting conference; Twins of Faith Malaysia organized by Mercy Mission. Subhan Allah, there were 4000 participants joining the event, trying to improve themselves to be a better Muslim than before. A lot of Great Muslim Clerics came from all over the world, sharing knowledge after knowledge for 2 consecutive days. Lectures were all inspiring and my heart broke into pieces upon listening to the Seerah of the Prophets and the Companions. I learned a lot.

Finals are done. Next week I am heading to Singapore, and after 4 months leaving this blog empty and mundane, Insha Allah, I will share with you my stories in Singapore. :)
