FOREWORD

I dedicate this to those who think.

Having firm faith in the Mercy and Grace of Allah & having tremendous belief in His Guidance I carried on quietly & dilligently. My whole waking hours except for time spent on professional duties & family were earmarked for this work only.

“…And never give up hope of Soothing Mercy of Allah, truly no one despairs of Allah’s Soothing Mercy except those who have no faith.” (12:87)

I remained with the Great Book of Allah for many many hours every day with this prayer in my heart, almost all the time.

“Call on your Lord, with humility and in secret.” (7:55)

I’m nobody important. Like a child’s toy, bobbling along the sea, inconsequential in the overall scheme of things. A femme tranquille who is constantly finding my way with aspiration to help others as best as I can. A hopeless romantic – ‘The act that it is hip being cold and cynical’ has yet to amuse me – Calm – Loyal – above all… Not perfect. I sincerely appreciate every day that I’ve been given, my family, esteemed Islamic scholars – then and now, sahabat yg setia dan ikhlas membimbing. I truly respect Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary altruistic works and those who share the same goal.

“Sincerity can’t be measured, but it can be tested.”

Ujian Tuhan takkan berhenti, bersama kita tolong-menolong dalam usaha memperbaiki diri dan menambah ilmu di dada. Hanya dengan ujian yang kecil atau yang hebat, kita dapat mengenali erti kehambaan, menghalusi keikhlasan hati dan kebenaran iman kepada Allah. Hanya dengan ujian juga kita dapat membezakan siapakah teman yang jujur, ikhlas dan benar.

This is a personal site – a silent solace where I read pieces of tazkirah I saved for yours truly. But I’m also happy to share with you the editorials and articles I’ve collected, with hope you might stumble on a great re-discovery. I have learnt similar line of reasoning in schools and many mediums before, but the truth had at some point, touched my heart. In my most humble state I understood a particle of the vast beauty, that is my religion.

One cherishes the sympathy, sincerity, kindness & valuable advice given during period of stress & despondence by friends, relations & well wishers. There are also the virtual friends associated with my work here, whose kind words I do remember. But for the (will of God) cheer & support, I would not have been able to accomplish this noble mission. May Allah reward them.

“Semoga Allah mengurniakan kita taufik dan hidayah, kebahagiaan yang hakiki, keampunan dan keredhaan-Nya, keimanan dan ketakwaan yang benar2 tulus, ilmu yang bermanfaat, faedah dari umur, barakah dalam semua usaha dan ibadah, diberi husnul khatimah. Doa saya agar Allah memberkati hidup kita dengan teman yang jujur membimbing ke jalan yang lurus dan ikhlas memelihara iman kita, bukan sebaliknya. Semoga Allah melimpahkan salawat dan salam kepada junjungan Rasulullah s.a.w., keluarga dan para sahabat baginda. Ameen”~

To those who stood by me, seen through my loyalty, accepted me dalam tangis dan tawa, dalam cantik dan buruk, dalam susah dan senang – I heart you – quietly, steadfastly.

Make du’a for me, in your kind hearts.

Much love,
NH
