Al-Fatihah MH17

There is probably just one thing I want to say on this. Upon hearing of the terrible tragedy that has befallen Malaysians yet again, I remembered about a video of Ustaz Nouman Ali Khan's which I then played on YouTube. In that video titled " Trials and Tribulations" he mentioned this of us:

2:286

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."
 
Ustaz NAK said that 'He will not give us a trial we could not overcome with our ability" . I only know alhamdulillah of one thing I cannot face if it happened to me and that was my kids going before me in death. I then thought about what I wrote previously on Facebook when I saw countless of Mums crying over their dead children and Huda my dear friend from Singapore who wrote " I feel the same". Immediately that was my response in thought. My kids. Going before me. No no.
 
The sadness stuck with me through all of this morning and I prayed and prayed for the souls of all passengers on board MH17. But then, a friend txted me to say our work colleague was on that flight with her baby and sister. Although I knew her only by acquintance I feel deeply saddened. 
But, above all.. I thank Allah I was not placed in the situation her husband is in now.
 
Rest In Peace JC Ng, work colleague and friend...

assalamualaikum k. jid :)

and yes, ive somehow stumbled upon ur blog. hahaha. im that good of a stalker. nope, kidding. its just so happens that i did. hehe. hope ure not going freak out tho. i really did terjumpa. i swearrrrrrrr!!!!

anyway, lets just say that ur writings gave me one heck of a smack in the face. ive been procrastinating for way too long. wayyyy too long. tapi, there u are, thousands of milesss away from ur family, but u still manage to continue on with ur researchs writtings thesis and everything.

malu elly. i cant even bring myself to call up dr sea without rasa bersalah bertimpa2. im too embarrassed to even reply to his birthday wish on my fb wall!

ive just realised that ive been using excuses like im too busy with work and stuff, padahal on normal days, by 8pm, im back in my room, rilek2 tgk tv and such sda.

i mean, i used to be sooooo good with my discussions back in the degree years that every time ely buat discussion, my group will get markah paling tinggi dlm lab report. and i was able to freaking finish my fyp writings in a week!

i can do this right? i can finish my writings. it may not be as good as i set it out to be waktu mula2 sambung master, but i can finish it off kan? heck, kalau org lain boleh, i can do it too.

and so, thanks k.jid for somehow giving me this sense of urgency and desperation to get started on my writings once again. through ur posts here in ur blog, of course. i'll start reading the journals balik, connecting the dots in my results and tying it all in.

i dont think ill be able to masuk gear 4 terus buat speed writings ke ape ke... but i promise myself that i'll try my very best to prioritise my writings. habis kerja at 6, by 8 sampai rumah, boleh buat at least one short paragraph before going to sleep.

kan?

i dont know whether ull be able to read this or if i will ever get a reply from u, or ill probably get bebel-ed at by u for not sending my writings lagi on time lagi possible la kan. haha

but anyhoo, im glad ive read ur posts k.jid...

okayyyy.. sooo.. im off to read one more journal that i just found before going to sleep.

goodbye k.jid. assalamualaikum.
