Eid Mubarak 2011

I fell sick more frequently lately. This was the eid that your abah and I stayed home while everyone else went out and made visits to family and friends.

It made me think what would happen to you if my time comes. So I told your abah, if I didn't get the chance to tell you this, he will have to do it for me. But I'll write them in here, hoping that one day you will get to read this.

I always tell you, that you are the best baby ever, the most beautiful person, inside and out. That you are a princess, and a friend that deserve love and respect. So please do not let anyone else treat you like you don't deserve it. Do not expect any less than that, ever. You can choose your friend. You can choose whom to hang out with. You can choose the best for you. Life is about making choices.

Being with someone who deserves your love and attention is very very important for your happiness,   for this life, and the hereafter. But sometimes, it is very hard to see how people really are; their true colours until when its all too late, when decisions have been made.

Therefore, whenever you decide to do something, do it with careful consideration of Allah's satisfaction. It should be our main purpose in life, to seek Allah's pleasure. Because the life that we are having right now is not eternal. But the hereafter is. And the good people will be blessed with heaven and happiness there. So be good. As you always promise you will be.

By remembering that 'whatever' has been given to us by Allah as a means for us to be close to him WILL help us through everything. Putting Allah before anything else will remind us that all the happiness and great things granted for us in this world, will not last forever. So lets share it with other people. And all the difficulties we are having, we will not have them for long. InshaAllah. Allah will show us the way. Allah will give us enough strength to go through the life hurdles. Allah does not burden us, does not test us with what we are not strong enough to bear. We might be blessed with anything. A job, a friend, the wealth or a husband. But no matter what, we must always put being close to Allah as our priority in anything we do. We do a certain job because its a noble job and brings us closer to Allah. We are being a good friend so that we could learn from and lead our friends to His path. We have all the wealth so that we could serve people, and get closer to Allah. If we don't have as much wealth as we expected, be happy and know that we will be shown other ways to get close to Allah. We are married to a husband, so that we could reap as much good deeds from our marriage, the 'kilang pahala' as been said by some, so that we will be blessed in the hereafter.

So, like from the Maher Zain song, in whatever you do, ask yourself, because the judgement day is certain, and as Allah is always watching you "is Allah satisfied?".


Eid Mubarak, my darling. May Allah bless us with happiness in many years to come, and may Allah redha for us Jannah. Amiin.
