Reflections: Where am I standing at the moment?

As time passes by, I've met a lot of great people,great friends with great visions and missions. I am so grateful that Allah gives me opportunity to meet them. And I long to be part of the groups, to be successful in life, serve the humanity and achieve my purpose of life as Allah asks us to. And to enter Jannah in the end.

It is been 3 months since I last made my new year resolutions and I think I've lost my track due to some circumstances.

1. Have intimate relationship with Allah. I want to be more khusyuk in solat and understand al-quran more and more.

2. Make sure all my ibadah ritual and normal routine is done for the sake of Allah. As mentioned by Ibnu Taimiyyah, ibadah is a 'comprehensive term,encompassing all apparent and hidden acts and statements that are beloved to Allah.'.It means both ritual (solah, zakat,hajj,umrah) and natural actions (sleep, study, work, eat, travelling.etc) are done with niat for Allah.

3. Be good to people and friends around me. The sweetness of iman cant be achieved if I cant love and be good to all people around me regardless things that they have said or done,no matter how big my problem is and whenever and whoever i meet. I hope this is one way of doing dakwa, invite people to Allah and Islam.

4. Be more hardworking, focused, and itqan (bersungguh-sungguh) in my studies. I should spend at least 2 hours of quality time for my studies.

5. Take as much opportunities to get involved in dakwa programme or talk. Meet people of soleh and solehah will help me rejuvenate my faith and relationship with Allah. Help me to get back to where I am supposed to be, being a slave of Allah. To be khalifa and serve the humanity.

6. Get active as much as i can. Focused in whatever I do. Guitar, sports, keyboard.

O Allah, guide us to the right path, the path that You please and redha. Guide us to a great human,as you asks us to be. And guide us from being astray and overwhelmed by this dunia, protect us from being people of useless (khosirin). Amen.
