Waqi'

Dah...lama dah nak cerita perihal waqi' ini. 

Tapi nak fokus cerita orang tengah dengan belah kanan tu. 

Just so I would not forget these memories;

I am truly thankful to Allah for presenting me with these lot of people who I met last Tuesday. 

It's a wonder, truly that Abah & Mak gave me permission to drive all the way to Pendang. No less with friends on the ride. 

When I first met this girl in the middle, we were attending USKAB at Pusat Dakwah, the masjid next to City Plaza (now known as UTC). 

It's unbelievable you know, to meet her again. As usrahmate, no less :') 

The first time we met, we were of different course, she was studying in Johor and I was about to fly to USA. Chances of ever meeting again, was prolly ZERO ! 

But guess what, Allah, with His magnificent power, somehow brought us  together on this road again. 

4 years later. 

And on that Tuesday, I was driving the car while she was the passenger. And she was the one who start recounting stories as I was driving back to Alor Setar. As usual, I only listened but really, I was crying in my heart. 

This girl, she is such a strong-willed and determined person. She comes to usrah from her house using bus. To reach the nearest bus station at her house, she had to walk outside her village first. Please tell me how many people can do that, even ? TT___TT 

And she told me, every morning she wakes up at 5-ish and helps her mom to pack nasi lemak. And then she went off sending nasi lemak to nearby buyers :'( Prolly by walking. I can't even fathom doing that. 

See how manja I am?

She is truly a God-sent gift to support me here, in Kedah. It's like having Harun one more time. This time, she's a Kedahan, just like me :)

As for the other girl on the right side, she is a SPECIAL God-sent gift all the way from Gombak. Holy schmolly, she even had this name that I liked since forever. 

And she, is one of the BM products (if you know what I mean). 

This girl, she's younger than the two of us but she's got that aura that resonates bright to people around her. 

She's a medical student by the way (not to emphasize the medical) but, you know how medical students are super busy. 

But she's so independent, and free-will, and so so willing to work on anything.

One look at her, and you'll say, " Whoa, this girl is a SUNSHINE!" Err because she just shines with faith and hopes :)

She said she likes being here, in Kedah. Wow, really? Hearing that coming off from someone who spent most of her life in the central area aka the hearbeat of tarbiyah...that's just something !

Even if she's a BM product, she likes to work things on her own. Meaning, mencari tarbiyah itu sendiri walaupun mak dengan ayah dia boleh je sangat nak guide dia here and there. 

But, here she is saying she wants to stay here, even. Ohhh how irony :'( I've been wanting to settle down over there, and here is one soul who is dedicated to "suburkan" Kedah...

As I am finished with the story of these two gifts, I could not but think, that there must be something that Allah wants me to learn from the two of them. 

And honestly, I can't wait! I can't wait to discover new things with the people here who are on the same road. 

Maybe, after all, there are some things to be relished here :)

Alhamdulillah thumma alhamdulillah. 

The Prophet (peace be upon him) related to us that Allah says: 

      "I am as My servant thinks of Me. I am with him when he remembers Me. If he mentions Me within himself, I mention him within Myself. If he mentions Me in an assembly, I mention him in a better assembly. If he comes near to Me a handspan, I come near to him the distance of a cubit. If he comes near to Me the distance of a cubit, I come near to him the distance of two outspread arms. If he comes to Me walking, I come to him running."
