Something Personal

I have the tendency to make excuses for other people. I guess that's my way of coping with an undesirable situation, turn it to something understandable. Bearable.

For the past few years, I have been trying my best to understand, came up with excuses after excuses for a close relative. I got none now. I feel like maybe she's just intentionally insensitive. Top it with me being very sensitive, so with every remark she makes, it stings. It could also be that she thinks I am still a teenager with all the rage and hormones that she has deduced me to being just that (see?, another excuse).

Well, it is true that I cannot please everybody, no one can. But I also think that sometimes people have decided not to give a second chance. 

And that is beyond unfair.

May Allah SWT make it easy for me to understand. May He help me rid of anger over this matter. Ameen.

Day 12.

May peace reign in our hearts, in our relationship with others and in the entire world.

Assalamualaikum, Zamboanga.

Ya Allah azza wa jal

The attack of innocent civilians in Syria woke me up. I'm still haunted by the images of children attacked in their home while asleep with their family with the use of chemical weapon. Whoever did such horrendous act have no space for love, light and Allah in their hearts. 

Wherever you are, take time to make duaa for Muslims all over the world.

Ya Rabb, may You grant the victims of terrorism, oppression, and torture, and all those who died for Your sake the highest level of Jannah. 

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

Assalamualaykum.
