Time to get married!

"Nak kawen lah..." Heard that a lot lately.. Maybe because I'm studying in UIA that this matter seems to be discussed almost at all times by the girls. Especially the ones from religious school. No offend but most of them are really looking forward to get married. 

        Like yeah, I know that this university encourages its' students to get married A.S.A.P but still I don't find it to be something that is easy to do.

 I admit that I'm physically and mentally not ready to get married with anyone yet. So, here is my opinion on this matter. 

Yeah, marriage is a good thing but it takes a LOT of responsibility.

       "YOU have to be committed, it's a serious thing and you can't just decide to get married one day and to regret that u're married too soon another day."

One thing I notice about these people who wants to get married when they were still young or still studying is that when asked about "Why u want to get married too soon?", normally there are 3 answers. 

And these answers will determine whether this person really deserves to get married.

Here are the top three answers:

First: "To prevent me from doing maksiat"  --->  usually the typical answer. 

My opinion: "R u really that horny?"

Second: "I'm in love". 

My opinion: "R u sure that s/he is your jodoh/true love? R u sure u want to spend THE REST OF YOUR LIFE with him/her?"

*Marriage is a ONE time thing, u don't get to marry whenever u like and divorced your partner once you're bored.*

Third: "I am ready to held this responsibility and to be a good husband/wife to my wife/husband"

My opinion: Okay lah, go ahead..haha.. 

Then it's their turn to ask me.

Question: "Why? Don't you want to get married now?"

My answer: I am 22, and I'm not ready to surrender my freedom yet. InsyaAllah when the time comes, ( after I have fulfill all my dreams and travels around the world, shop till-I-drop and so on so forth) I will somehow be ready for it. But not at this current time. 

        So guys, sometimes I freaked out the moment you talked about marriage, because I don't see it as a "dancing-on-the-floor-thing" but more to "building-a-mansion-to-live-in". I want it to be perfect. Perfect in sense of time, like our age, after we have finished our study, realize our ambition & make our parents happy. 

Perfect in sense of knowledge and Iman.

        I want to be fully prepared for it. And by that time, ask my hand in marriage and I will say "Yes, I do" :)

P/S: "NO" to random guys. Cheers~ :p

just.the.way.you.are

I have been thinking a lot lately. When I say a lot, yeah so many things is going on in my mind. Unnecessary things to be specific. Even when I see this blog, I feel like writing this. Blaaahh.. 

Anyway, I was thinking on how to make my blog interesting, I mean interesting for me. I feel like putting in lots of pictures here & there, advertise that and this and gain money here and there. Because I have seen lots of blogs and they have all of that. 

BUT then I realized, why should I change my blog? Why should it bother me if my blog is not that popular. I want my blog to represent me (yet I still prefer to keep myself anonymous). I want it to be simple. That's why I love it in the first place. So just be yourself....blog :) 

Ramadhan.Wishes

Happy Ramadhan y’all!!

Money, who wouldn't want to have lots of money. Arggghh I don't know what came into me. I feel like the degree of me wanting to have lots have money have increased day by day.. Excuse me, but money do bring happiness.. haha..

Whatever it is, my point here is that money should be gain through efforts and the right or Halal way. Because whatever we ate or consumed is going to run through in our blood, organs and eventually shapes our character, manner and judgement. So for Muslims, eat only Halal food and drinks okay..

Sometimes I wonder why some people, especially Muslims and those who knew about Allah's rule which is not to consume Haram foods but still choose to do so. No offend but I mean, dude, there's lots of other Halal options of drinks and foods which are available out there! They obviously taste more delicious & cheaper!

I once heard that Alcoholic drink doesn't taste good, but the "Mat Salleh" took them because it warms their body and whatever reason lah, I don't give a damn about them but to fellow Muslim brothers and sisters, stop consuming Haram foods and drinks. It is clear that Allah has prohibited us to consume Haram foods. So, full stop. 

By short, "Halal Food" means food or product that contains NO pork, lard, bacon, ham, alcohol or any of their essence. "Haram Food" is not Permissible for Islamic consumption. Muslims must seek "Halal" and and avoid "Haram". Haram foods are:

1. Foods which are Forbidden: The Holy Qur'an, 5:3 - Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other thanAllah; that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars)...

2. Prohibition of Intoxicants: The Holy Qur'an, 5:90 - O ye who believe! Intoxicants and gambling, (dedication of) stones, and (divination by) arrows, are an abomination,- of Satan's handwork: eschew such (abomination), that ye may prosper.

Now people, it's crystal clear that Muslims should only eat and drink Halal foods and drinks. Here are the reasons why Halal foods are the best option: 

1. Halal foods are clean & determine healthier body, mind & soul.
2. Getting Allah’s pleasure & blessing which bring us closer to Him.
3. Purification of our soul which make it easier for us to perform our obligations commanded by Him.
4. Our minds are free from dilemma, crisis and negative thoughts.  
5. Our body will be in good physical shape, fit and strong.

And many other benefits, while consuming Haram foods will give the exactly opposite effects.

Hmm… I wonder how I start this discussion about Halal and Haram consumptions with money in my mind. Since it’s the first day of fasting, I would like to wish every Muslims brothers and sisters all over the world Happy Fasting in the month of Ramadhan!!

Some.note: By fasting, it doesn’t only mean restraining yourself from eating and drinking, but to restrain yourself from saying, listening and seeing Haram things…
