Pre-amble

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Assalamualaykum w.b.t.


May this post reach you with high level of Iman and Islam.

We believe that there is one true God and that it's our duty to submit to his will. Life may be trying, unfair, or painful here on earth. But we are waiting for the Paradise in the afterlife. Religion is the most important thing in our life, and we are fully devoted to God. We are willing to fast, pray often, and follow all of God's rules to make sure we have a place in heaven.

Greetings to all readers. Yes, it's been a long time. After months with intention to set up a blog, I finally--alhamdulilah--made one. And thank Allah I created this first post in the month of Ramadhan. Actually this blog was created before Ramadhan. But this very first post is published in Ramadhan.

The objective in my life (as well as others) is to spread the message of Islam, and to invite others to it. Somehow, the truth shines clear, even without words. Allah guides whom He wills to this deen. We are blessed to have a small hand in this matter.

Last time I had a trip to somewhere that is still fresh in my mind. To cut the story short, a brother reminded me on one verse in the Holy Quran:

وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلًا مِمَّنْ دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحًا وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
Who is better in speech than one who calls (men) to Allah, works righteousness, and says, “I am of those who bow in Islam?” (Fussilat,41:33)

Well, let us think of it.

A Happy Ramadhan, full of blessings, mercy and guidance from our Lord. It is said the devils are chained during Ramadan. Therefore, any sins and evil acts we commit are from our own selves--from our own character flaws. Therefore we ask Allah to make our shortcomings known to us...so that we can work on correcting them.

Wishing you all a blessed month of fasting and prayer. May the peace, blessings and mercy of Allah be with us all.

May this blog benefit all of us, InsyaAllah. Fi amanillah, ameen.
