Will You....?

In the name of Allah the Most Merciful and Most Beneficent 

May peace be upon you all,

I can't believe I even have time to post here at this blog, form 4s are so busy with all the schoolwork.
Alhamdulillah, we're finally reaching the end of the first month of this year. The results of the MRSM application any day will be out any day now and we'll see either I'll be with you guys or not.
After reviewing the past month and year (I know it's a tad late to review the last year), I noticed that I've been burdening a lot of people, especially a particular person and this person has tolerated the ton-load burden I've given.
To all of you whom I have burdened, I'm sorry.

Will you forgive me?
This poem is dedicated to all you;

Through thorns and fire,

You walked with me,

Through darkness and uncertainty,

You held my hand and guided me.

In my heart I feel in debt, owed,

Owed by your kindness,

Forgive me for dragging you down,

Forgive me for clouding your mind,

Forgive me for being a proud fool.

Forgive me,

For every wrong I made,

For every vice I materialised,

You paid the price,

For every mischief I'd bought.

Until you say the word,

Forever I'm in debt,

With a blanket of guilt and darkness.

So now, will you forgive me?

New Things, New Loads

In the name of Allah the Most Beneficent and Most Merciful.

May peace and Allah's blessings be upon you,
Fuh...fuh...let's blow away the dustwebs. I suppose you've already noticed my new layout. I don't think I need to elaborate on that. Any exclamations, kindly put it in the comment section or in the chat box.


It's been a busy couple of weeks. I feel like I'm studying like I'm gonna have an exam every tomorrow. The mountainload of homework, it can really be a mountainload. I suppose it's to prep us for the very new, upcoming and more advanced subjects, I can't blame that.

Like everything in life, as you gradually become older, the more responsbilities there are on your shoulders. Though mine this year isn't as hectic as before, it's nothing compared to some of my friends'. This year's however, has more weight to it than ever before, and it requires much commitment, Allah please give my friends and I the strength to face it all.

It's Everywhere

First of all, I'm sorry if anybody thought I copied this idea for a post, but it expresses what I wanted to say so well, so forgive me if you're mad.


The Crazy Spot I've Prayed by
Dawud Wharnsby Ali:

All the earth is a place of prostration,

Every field and meadow, mountain, park, city, farm plantation.

Every roadside, seaside, hillside, walkway,

Any place clean and green can be a place to pray

When I think of every path, where I've ever trot,

I laugh at all the crazy spots I stopped to worship God.

Remember that long car ride?

Driving all night so far,

Under the summer moon we pulled off to the side,

Reclining in the front seat of the car.

Waking to a fajr bird sound,

And washing in the coin car wash we found.

With the water blaster making wudhu,

You sprayed me and I sprayed you.

We stood so drowsy in the dawn,

Behind the car wash dripping on the lawn.

All the earth is a place of prostration,

Every field and meadow, mountain, park, city, farm plantation.

Every roadside, seaside, hillside, walkway,

Any place clean and green can be a place to pray

When I think of every path, where I've ever trot,

I laugh at all the crazy spots I stopped to worship God.

Saturday shopping day, in a busy mall and bustling through the aisles,

Where everyone's getting in my way.

Each blank zombie we shop and face forty smiles.

Time comes for prayer attack,

Grab a pair of pants or a sweater from the rack.

Find a changing room and latch the door,

Set aside excuses and hit the floor.

As I go back to the mall,

It's easier then to make sense of it all.

All the earth is a place of prostration,

Every field and meadow, mountain, park, city, farm plantation.

Every roadside, seaside, hillside, walkway,

Any place clean and green can be a place to pray

When I think of every path, where I've ever trot,

I laugh at all the crazy spots I stopped to worship God.

And our socks froze to the blanket,

That we spread over the snow,

Your call to prayer bounced off the trees and across the icy meadow.

Crisp and clean cold air, our hearts were so aware,

Our bodies felt the frozen freedom what a very cool place for prayer!

All the earth is a place of prostration,

Every field and meadow, mountain, park, city, farm plantation.

Every roadside, seaside, hillside, walkway,

Any place clean and green can be a place to pray

When I think of every path, where I've ever trot,

I laugh at all the crazy spots I stopped to worship God.

So you see, salah is so important you can do it and have to do it anywhere if you're desperate, and time's almost up.

When Another Begins...

,السلام عليكم

It's finally here, the new year. Both Hijri and Gregorian years, they're all new. I'm not writing today to write a reminder, just updating my blog. 
This year is a tad bit different from others, since we had to pick our courses. Now my fellow Form 4-rians and I are paving our way to our future. 
Alhamdulillah, even if it's a bit dissapointing, I got 8As 1B in PMR. I was a bit crestfallen but Alhamdulillah, it's good enough not to be embarrassed when I go to MRSM if my application is accepted. 


Speaking of MRSM, many of you had sad tones when I declared that I applied for MRSM and I will accept it if I got it. I have many reasons, but one of them is a I'm not too good at being independent, well, in home affairs that is. The other reason is that I want to take it step-by-step, from day school, to a local boarding school, and then InsyaAllah I'll be studying overseas, I'm quite slow to adapting so I'll might as well get a move on at living independently. Oh yeah, the other one is, it's hard to get a scholarship at Al-Amin, I'm not saying there isn't a scholarship, but you had to be, what? The top ten overall? For now, that's waaaaay beyond my reach. Anyway MARA favours it's students. So I'll might as well take advantage of it.


So that's about it.
Happy Schooling, to those who do go to school.
