JASMINE

BY: FATIMA ZAHRA 

I couldn’t believe this happened. Those sharp blue eyes and lovely smile were finally mine. It was just like a dream. I had never imagined that someone who was now standing by my side was my husband.

“My love, why are you staring at me like that? Is there anything wrong with my face?” He asked me curiously. I was shy because I got caught when I stared at him.

“Umm… Nothing… I was just thinking…”

“Thinking about what? Would you mind to tell me?” urged him.

“I was just thinking about… you…  You’re like a perfect prince in a fairy tale. Many girls out there want to be your wife. Why did you choose me? I’ve got nothing special. I’m not beautiful, I’m not smart, I’m not wealthy and I’m definitely not a ‘dream-girl’ type.”

Then a sweet smile formed on his lips. His deep stare met mine.

“Who says you’ve got nothing special? For me, you are a princess, a protected peal, a priceless gift. You’re the most beautiful woman on earth.” He said seriously.

“Really? But…”

“Honey, listen. If I married you for your wealth, it would perish. If I married you for your beauty, it would fade away. I married you because of Allah, because of your deen. You are my ‘dream girl’. You are a righteous woman, you love Allah and our beloved Prophet, and you always help me with my deen. Maybe you’re the only one who doesn’t know that your inner beauty is so radiant. That made me fell in love with you.” He continued.

I couldn’t help my tears from falling hearing those words. I felt that Allah had really answered my prayer. Alhamdulillah… Thank You Allah for sending him to my life. He wiped my tears away with his hands gently.

“Don’t cry..."

“I’m crying because I’m too glad. I feel so blessed to have you in my life.”

“I love you for the sake of Allah, my dear wife…”

Dimanakah Engkau?

Dimanakah Engkau?

Mereka bertanya-tanya mencari-Mu: Dimanakah Engkau?

Sungguh alangkah bodohnya pertanyan mereka itu. Apakah mereka buta lagi tidak melihat?

Kapan Engkau bersembunyi hingga kami harus mencari dimana Engkau berada?

Bukankah Engkau berada dalam penglihatan dan pendengaran kami?

Bukankah Engkau berada pada udara yang kami hirup?

Bukankah Engkau berada pada senyuman anak kecil dan kicauan burung-burung?

Bukankah Engkau berada dalam lirihnya pohon dan cahaya rembulan?

Bukankah Engkau berada pada bumi dan langit?

Bukankah Engkau berada pada segala sesuatu?

Bukankah semua yang ada di alam semesta ini tanda-tanda yang menunjukkan tentang keberadaan-Mu?

Bukankah semua itu adalah bukti-bukti keindahan dan kesempurnaan penciptaan-Mu, wahai Sang Maha Pencipta Yang Agung?

Build Your Own Castle in Paradise

       

I always obey my passions and desires

Till I enslave myself

If I were satisfied with everything I have

I would surely be the one who’s free

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah wa barakatuh.

      My dear sisters in Islam, how have you been? I hope you are doing great and in the good state of imaan. It has been a long time since I wrote the last article on my blog. Hope you forgive me because I was busy with my studies and exams. :)

      My lovely sisters, have you ever heard the story of Asiyah r.a (May Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Pharaoh (Fir’aun)? She is one of the best righteous women in the world. Her obedience and persistence are incredible. Indeed, Allah has praised her in the Holy Qur’an:

“And Allah has set forth an example for those who believe, the wife of Fir’aun (Pharaoh), when she said: ‘My Lord! Build for me a home with you in Paradise, and save me from Fir’aun (Pharaoh) and his work, and save me from the people who are Zalimun (wrong-doers and disbeliever in Allah).” At-Tahrim : 11.

      

Duhai Engkau Yang Disana...

Duhai engkau yg disana. .

Andai engkau tahu,

sebenarnya hatiku telah terpaut padamu.

Namun aku takut mengakuinya.

Aku takut jikalau nanti aku terjerumus pada cinta yg tak halal,

yg menyebabkan Allah murka pada kita.

Duhai engkau yg kini mengusik ketenangan batinku.

Semoga kau mengerti bahasa diamku.

Diamku bukan berarti aku membencimu.

Diamku bukan berarti aku sengaja mengacuhkanmu.

Kau tahu?

Itu semua terjadi karena aku tak tahu harus berbuat apa di depanmu.

Teruntuk Engkau Yang Selalu Kurindu

By Fatima Zahra

Wahai kau yang selalu kurindu,

Wajahmu tak pernah terlukis di kanvas kehidupanku,

Senyummu tak pernah terlintas dalam imajiku

Bahkan namamu tak pernah terukir di lubuk hatiku

Wahai kau yang selalu mengusik ketenangan batinku,

Siapakah kau?

Tahukah kau betapa gelisahnya aku?

Setiap saat penuh tanya menantimu.

Akankah kau akan menjemputku?

Wahai kau yang melumpuhkan hatiku,

Tak pernah kutahu siapa dirimu,

Tak sanggup kumenduga dimana kau berada,

Atau apa yang sedang kau lakukan disana.

Namun aku yakin, kau sedang bersama-Nya.

Menjaga cintamu pada-Nya agar dapat mencintaiku kelak hanya karena-Nya.

Allah is indeed near...

Assalamualaikum my lovely sisters. :)

How have you been?

May Allah keep showering you with His great blessings.

Alhamdulillah,

All praise is due to Allah.

He still allows me to be in touch with you all through my writing.

My blessed sisters,

When calamity strikes you,

And the whole world seems dark to you.

No one consoles you or wipe your tears away.

You really don't know what to do and where to go.

You can't find anyone to lean on...

You Are Absolutely Beautiful, My Dear Sisters...

Which of Allah's favors can we deny?

Above all creatures, he chose us to be high

To him we belong, to him is our return

Life in this world is only sojourn

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi ta'ala wabarakatuhu,

May Allah's peace and blessings be upon you.

How's is it going my dear sisters?

Hope you are always under the auspices and mercy of Allah.

My blessed sisters,

Have you ever taken a look on your reflection at the mirror?

Just do it once again.

See, how beautiful you are. Look at your pretty face, pretty skin, lovely eyes, and so on.
