worries worries worries

How nice life would be without having to worry..

Being in a state of worrying is probably worse than hunger, and thirst, and heat. It's this constant headache and frowns and "what-ifs" and "if-nots"...

Although God has reminded us to not worry, and leave it all to Him. The whispers of satans have maanged to successfully creep out this worry of my head.

"where to place my baby for care during office hours when I'm at work after confinement ends"

With the news constantly popping out with babies neglected, and abused, and left to starve under the so-called-'care' of irresponsible nurseries/babysitter, it does not leave me in peace knowing that I have to do the same for my child once he/she reached mere 3 month old!

I have tried googling and searching for the right place and now I arrived to this plea " please Allah send me to the right person/home/nursery and please protect this unborn child against all evil and bad things. amiin "

People used to be less intimidating and more trustworthy before. Looking back, lets say, 30 years ago, such problem didnt exist or rarely heard of. because peple used to have conscience and kindness. I wonder what have happened to the world today. Have everyone strayed so far away from God that they are willing to commit such sins to innocent kids?

I pray that my loved ones are protected from their evils, and hopefully their past evil-ness will be pardoned and they will repent.

alhamdulillah

My parents and 3 siblinsg aer safely home from Egypt!

It is such a relief, alhamdulillah, all praises to Allah. After hours of air tickets searching and booking and researching, we managed to put all 5 of them on a flight back home 3 days ago. :)

In trials and difficult tinmes, we will always seek God. In prayers, in thoughts, in everything we do, we will chant His name. But, in easier times, its so easy to forget Him, astaghfirullah. I am now reminding myself to be in a state of constant attachement to Allah. No matter in good/bad health, in danger/safety. It is Allah we turn to.

I hope He wont forget me too. I hope He is constantly watching over me, guiding me and protecting me from all the evils in this this world. I hope all my decisions are from Him, for He knows me better than I do. And I hope He is guiding my decisions now to be closer towards Him in the afterlife. for this life on earth is a mere blink of of an eye.

And i want eternity of happiness :)

til then, remember God and death. The short Life now is for us to prepare for the better later.

Trials and tribulation

This is not good,

My parents and 3 siblings are in Egypt at the moment, amidst all the riots, gunshooting, prison breaks, and rallying! May Allah's protection be upon them, for He is the Best Protector.

A part of me feels sorry for them, because they've spent a fortune to travel and do all sorts of touristy stuff, but ended up in curfew and in danger.

Another part is relieved that they are still safe, unharmed and together. (better than being alone)

Also I am torn between feeling angry and supportive towards the people of Egypt. Angry because they are causing unwarranted danger for all the innocent tourists, and the women and children. They've not think of a better, easier, nicer, more diplomatic way if negotiating their freedom (btw, they should have started from having meetings/ talks/ etc etc with their President). Not straight into this mess.

Supportive because .. it's good for them to want something else for their life. Something better. Perhaps, it's the means that they should have thought thru a bit better. We are human beings after all. Gifted with brains and vocabs and literature to converse with each other in peace. Use them well before it's too late.

Til then, the rest of my family members are rooted to Aljazeera as never before. lol.

I am praying for their safety and strenght. May Allah be with them, and give them courage, protection, and wisdom. At times like this, I feel blessed we live in a peaceful country.
