For all the times I ignored You, Thinking I can do it alone, I kept aloof and refuse to acknowledge You. And that time I close my eyes, Believing You are never there, forgive me. Those times I turned my back, To the blessings and favour You gave to me, And the light of happiness You brought to me. Naive have I become, When I refuse to acknowledge Your Worth. I return to you in repentance, You are the Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful I seek for your mercy Oh my Lord, You are the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful, Oh Allah, I seek Your blessings and grace.

In every smiling face you come across, And in every laugh and tear that melts the heart, And very word of inspiration that strengthens the mind, There is always an untold story of patience and perseverance. When people are in misery and hope seems to be lost, And when things falls apart and heroes want to give up, During the rainy days and windy night that seems to have no end, Patience and prayer has always been the way out. Stories of men and women who have gone astray, All in the name of seeking what is not lost. In the house of herbalists and magicians you find them. Seeking potions and remedy which is totally false. What assurance do you need than that of your Lord? When He promised you ease not once but twice. After hardship comes ease, And verily after hardship comes ease, He says, Be patience and remain steadfast. For after the darkest cloud comes the heaviest rain.

Ready to sacrifice for others with all her might. Tending to the needs of the old and young. She is not meant to be treated like something waste. Her worth is known to those who have her. She is the queen of the house, Rabbiatul Bait.

In a world filled with love and hatred, Some spend their lives with hope, trying to cope. Other people live their lives with carelessness and in sweetness. Time changing constantly like the day and night. In time and future hides the secrets of the unknown. The ungrateful rich man spend and waste away. Bread leftovers use to clean their hands Food meant for the refugees were fed to their obeying pets. Lavishly wasting away money without any thoughts. Parties and asset competitions is their main game. They have forgotten what tomorrow may bring. The middle man run day and night to make ends meet. With little time he has he spends with family and friends. To make a living he'll work around the clock. With pity and conscious about the state he gives to the poor. In his mind is nothing but hope for a better future. You wake up every day in your house and still complain, Think about those who do not have a home to call theirs, You always have food on your table ...

Retreating from the season and festivity. Away from the activities of those that are lost. Under the moonlight sit the grateful souls. Readily prepared for another delivery of wisdom messages. Their bodies left to the cold touch of the night. There is little complains and outcry. But they wish for nothing than to elevated their Iman. The sounds of microphone and speakers fill the air. Words of wisdom and comfort flows across. Voices of the seekers can be heard from afar. Caution and warning comes from different sides. All these echo and feed the night in full.  *Under the moonlight at IVC* we are, Where knowledge is shared and misconceptions are cleared. News were read and greetings was sent. Plates makes noise as dinner was served. In the end, the souls are enriched and Imaan increase.

They want to give in but dare not mingle, As they know if it is not Halal they'll end up entangled. In this era of moral decadence, A street full of clothes yet naked people is the trend. Many eyesore images and videos all over the internet. Write-ups and articles that will make you want to puke. All trying to enchant the impeccant singles. Singles be brave and beware of that which tempts. Avoid the company of the pretending friends. Move away from gatherings that calls you to dirt. Close your eyes and heart to false bonds that is not real. And be wary of anything that wants you to slack. Brothers, do not be swayed by anything in skirt. Beware of the one that looks at you and seem lost. Not every man that jokes and has good looks and hair is kind. So, sisters be careful as he might just be playing nice.
