A new beginning...No turning back...InsyaAllah

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,
in the name of Allah the Most Gracious,the Most Merciful

This will my first post for a whole new beginning. For those who don't know me, my name is Ilani Hariati.Daughter of Abdul Muis & Maimunah Nazarene.Born in SJMC,Subang Jaya on the 8th of June 1987. Then moved to Melawati,then Bukit Sentosa,Rawang.Sister of Erwin Dani,Irma Hariati,Iwan Dani & Irina Hariati. Why am I telling all these?I know I said,who I am is not important,but its what I write about. Well, it is for you,dear readers to relate yourself to my life. Some of you may know me & some of you might meet me one day if ever,our path shall cross [if God wills ;-)]. Hmm my intentions of giving my personal details may not seem clear. But that is for me to know,and for you to find out (or not?!=p).

Why start re-blogging?

Simple, because "sharing is caring". And Ar-Rahman,the Gracious (Maha Penyayang) asked me to share with others whenever I have something good & beneficial.

What/who changed me?

Alhamdulillah,it is Al-Hadi, the Guide (Yang Memberi Petunjuk ) who changed me.

Why?

Again,I thank An-Noor,the Light (Cahaya) for giving me the chance to learn and understand Islam.People always said "Tak Kenal Maka Tak Cinta",or english that it means " Not Loving something/someone is a result of Not Knowing them in the first place"-Wow.A little too long for a translation I guess.Suggestions are always welcome btw.:-D
So,now that I have better knowledge of Islam, I love it even more.;-)
(Btw,Islam comes from the same root word as salam in arabic,you try to look it up to see what it means,generally slam means-peace.)
Sometimes to do something without trying to understand it in the first place is rather, foolish don't you think?

i.e:

Why do we eat?(Mainly cuz we're hungry)

Why do we sleep?(Generally cuz we're sleepy)

Why do we study?(Well, the answer for this varies)

The thought of doing something without any reason makes it hard for us to do it,right?
Its like forcing yourself...And I think we all know how it feels like when we have to force ourselves to do something.=\

Imagine eating without having the feeling to eat.Sleeping without having the need to sleep.Studying without knowing the reasons why we study...Its just terrible.For me atleast.

How does it feel like? (to change)


Well,it feels like Ive found what Ive been looking for all these time.
My purpose of life.
It feels good,it makes me happy, I find it rather peaceful.
I feel as if Ive just embraced Islam...Its soo wonderful.
Words are not enought to explain.
Do you remember the first time you've fallen in Love?
Like nothing is impossible,its like you can fly~.
You're not afraid of anything cuz your sweetheart is there for you.
Well,its kinda like that,only better.:-)

Why too drastic ?(some people might think)

Because Islam is a Deen,a way of life.
It consists all (syumul) and leaves nothing.
I want to a be a full-time muslim, not part-time.
Its rather a challenge isn't it? I love challenges.
May Al-Jabbar,the compeller (Yang Maha Kuat), give me strength for this.

Before I proceed,allow me to ask a few question to you,dear readers,just for you to ponder upon;

Daughters,what would you do if you wish to please your parents?
Brothers/gentlemen,what would you do to win the heart of your loved ones?
Workers,what do you do to get promoted?
Students,what do you do to get good grades?

If I may resume, I think we would all come out with almost the same answers.
When we want something from a certain someone,surely we would do the thing that pleases that person,and we would try to avoid evrything that makes them upsets.
Am I not right on this point? Do correct me if I erred,I still have alot to learn.:-)

A daughter would probably buy her father golf balls for his birthday (the gift depends on the father's preference,of course) ,or help her mother with the dishes. It might be because she's really sincere or simply cause she's eye-ing for that new hot pink Honda Jazz.:-p

A brother/gentlemen would probably get their loved ones flowers or even make that little effort to stop hanging out with his friends (especially girl friends) just to proove to the girl he wants that he's willing to do anything just to win the girl's heart. Right?

A worker would invite his/her boss to lunch (Random thought,I havent start working yet,so I'm not too familiar with this situation) in hopes that he/she might get promoted.(Dlm erti kate laen bodek), (lacher ses bottes).

A student would try to participate during class or some might want to try their luck in being a teacher's pet to get good marks.

These are all just random examples.It has nothing to do with those who are dead or alive. (Contoh membute semate-mate,tiade kene mengene dgn yg hidup mahupun yang sudah meninggal dunie)

All I wish to say is that, Im doing this because I want to please, Al-Nafi',the propitious (Yang Memberi Manfaat) in hopes that He will place me with others (mu'minin) in His Paradise,InsyaAllah.

Besides,He is the one who provides me with everything that i have in this life:my life,my family,my friends,the clothes on my back,the house that I live in,the food that I eat.
EVRYTHING.
Without Him, NOTHING is POSSIBLE
He is Al-Razzaq,the provider (Yang Maha Pemberi Rezeki)
It seems natural that I thank & please Him,doesn't it?;-)

Alhamdulillah I have finished my first post,
Every good and beneficial words that Ive said comes from Him,
the bad ones are either from me & my weaknesses or form the whispers of the Shaitan around me.
Wallahualam bisawab...
Have a pleasant day/night.
Salam w.b.t.
