YOU'RE NOT ALONE

 

When I was a little girl, I used to think that whatever my sister does, I should follow since she is my role model. I mean, who wouldn’t want to be her? She’s smart, talented, loved by many, she’s pretty much everything that I want to be. So, when she got accepted to a boarding school, naturally I did what all naïve people would do, I worked my way, burned the midnight oil just to get into the same school that she went, MRSM Langkawi.

By then, the UPSR days had ended, and we were all waiting for our results. A few months later, came the most awaited day; I got what I wanted – 5As and off I go to the school of my dreams. The first few weeks at the school was literally a dream, filled with competitive smart kids, daily congregational prayers, we get to eat 5 times a day and all that. But then, after a month in, I just started feeling lonely – like there’s just a small emptiness in me, and I just did not know what to do.

I tried to shake things off by joining a lot more activities, to make myself busy. It was working quite well to the point where I got selected to represent the school for tracks and cross-country. For a good period of time, I did feel something, but then the void started to fill in again, and I just felt very alone. I still remember there were nights were I just had to cry myself to sleep. I talked to some of my friends about it, even became close to some of the people that I looked up to, and they are very nice people. Kept on reminding me that Allah is always here with me and kept on inviting me to go to the surau together with them, for prayers – the Sunnahs and the obligatory ones, for the sake of our friendship and the Deen.

I remember this one very particular day, when everything got so bad and I just felt like giving up, my friends came to me and asked if I wanted to go for our Dhuha prayer with them. I went and I took my wudhu’, prayed Dhuha, and then had a little bit more time to spare. So, I took my Quran, and flip to a random page, and there it was; the verses that helped me a lot.

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَى ﴿۳

Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muḥammad], nor has He detested [you].

— Saheeh International

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَى ﴿۷    

And He found you lost and guided [you],

For 5 years, MRSM Langkawi’s surau – Raudhatul Muttaqin, had been my asylum. The place where I felt at peace and brought me serenity. I would spend hours on hours there, praying to God, crying to Him about my problems, reading the Quran, learning my study materials; and it felt like home whenever I’m there. I always felt alone whenever I walk around my school, but when I’m there, it feels like a huge weight just got off my shoulder, and I’m back at my happy place. I hope that you will find your peace. After all, this Dunya is just a pitstop for us all to ready ourselves for the inevitable. This is a reminder that you're not alone, you have never been alone, and Allah will always be there to guide you.

Love,
Mira

THE FRAGILITY OF TIME.

Hey guys! It's been a day since my last post and I kind of miss writing somewhat a personal yet meaningful post. Today, my advice to all of my readers is to appreciate the gravity that time is scarce, and we should spend our time on a lot of things that matters to us thoughtfully.

Today, my mum and my youngest brother aged a year older. It feels like it has only been only a year or two when I made these cute cards with my friends from school for my baby brother when he was conceived. He’s 13 years old now and my mum is 54. Soon, my younger brother will be finishing Secondary school, my mum would be retiring, and I'd be a university graduate. For all of us, time flies quickly. Sometimes rushing past us, as we enter different stages of our lives and sometimes, we are not ready to progress with ourselves and our loved ones.

I feel like this is one of those times where I'd quote the entire globe when they say, "Time is money." However, I believe this is an excellent opportunity to emphasise an Islamic viewpoint in which Allah declares in the Quran, in Surah Al-Asr, in three verses establishing a comprehensive framework for human life. For every sincere believer understands that life on earth is fleeting and that the ultimate fulfilment consists in pleasing our God and conducting our lives in accordance with His Commandments.

The important truth that this surah maintains is that throughout human history, there has been only one desirable and trustworthy route - the one that the surah identifies and explains. All other routes would only lead to failure and disaster. In short, the path begins with the acceptance of faith, followed by good actions and exhortation to pursue the truth and to constancy. Allah swears by time, all human beings are in loss, except those who have Imaan, those who do righteous deeds and remind others of Haqq and Sabr.

So, I'm here to remind you that we should always appreciate our time that we have with our loved ones and our personal relationship with the Deen. Our time with our parents and close relatives is scarce and we should appreciate the memories we have made and the ones we still can while they are still with us. Lastly, our connection with our own personal faith should be patient and sincere, we should accept and embrace the fact that one day, we will all return to our Lord and our connection with him is what matters most with the time he has given us. I think that’d be all for today, see you on the next post!

LEARNING IT THE HARD WAY.

 

Assalamualaikum everybody! I hope life is treating you well. When I was about 10-11 years old, my family and I went to London for a family vacation. It was probably one of the best trips to date; I even had the chance to stay in a town called Greenwich. I’m sure some of you might be familiar with the name since it is where the GMT originated. Honestly that wasn’t the thing that I wanted to talk about. I wanted to use this trip as an analogy about how experience and learning goes simultaneously.

You see, when I was there, I went to the Buckingham Palace with my family by train. We assumed that there was a public toilet at the park before heading to the Palace, but unfortunately, they were all going through somewhat a renovation, and I could not use the loo. When we were at the Buckingham Palace, right outside the gate, everybody was just taking pictures and sitting near the fountain. I was confused, you know, because all I wanted to do at that moment was to pee. So, I went to my mum and asked why weren’t we going in, and mum said that we can’t go in because the Queen was inside. I was really not a bright 10 years old because I only know a little thing or two about the UK; winter and snow, so I was like, “Hasn’t the Queen passed away?” because in my head, there was only one Queen and that was like waaaay waay back in the 60s, but then mum told me that there’s this line of succession that follow through and it goes way back all the way up until right now. A decade has passed, and this has been a story that I would always tell my friends and we would all laugh.

With this, I think the same gist assimilates well with education and religion. Sometimes, things aren’t just black and white. We shouldn’t just keep on continuing the norms by teaching our younger generations that religion = fear (i.e.: “if you don’t pray, you go to Hell” or “if you don’t read the Quran, you’ll be sad”). I have had a fair share of that, and I’m honestly appalled by the practice because they seem to forget to include during the time when I was in KAFA; that as humans, we are all far from perfect, everybody sins and that it’s okay. They fail to teach us that Allah is forgiving and loves people who continuously repent and ask for forgiveness. They fail to educate us on how our God is the most Merciful and the most Compassionate. As a child, I was always told to do good sincerely but how could I if I’m always clouded with fear?

Classes from Junior Al-Hafiz at iLuvQuran!

This is how iLuvQuran is different from the rest. We try to provide your children with an environment to have a pleasing experience while we prepare them with knowledges to be the rightful Caliphs in the real world. In line with Islam's message of forgiveness, mercy, and compassion, iLuvQuran acknowledges that all people are imperfect, and we are bound to commit mistakes. We are also a firm believer that learning from mistakes might be one of the best teachers in the realm of teaching as it is also an important part of child and adolescent development. We would like to dissociate religion with fear and rather highlight that you can be forgiven with love, and you can learn from your mistakes. We promote our students to experience, as long as they are with the correct guidance to learn from any mistakes they have done, guidance that we can provide at iLuvQuran.

Classes from Seedlings at iLuvQuran!

I guess what I’m trying to say is that historically, educators had made an environment for learning that do not encourage errors. It is time for us to take a chance in the changing eras and strive for a better future for our children. I will end this blog with a quote from a renowned psychologist, Henry C. Link would say, “While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, the other is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.”
