The Person That I Am

I feel blessed. Alhamdulillah.
Thank You Allah ...
for Allah swt reminds those He wants to remind
and I am very glad & grateful that I am one of them .....

i) I asked The CIMS team for responses to the Fitna movie
and I received a good one from The Straight Path Group
ii) I was feeling "alone" in my "troubled" times &
I felt like I'm the one who is always "there" for my frens & family
BUT they are always too busy for me.....
and then I received this from XCite :-
When you are selfish and you pray, you are requesting things to flow only to you.
When you are selfless, you are praying for things to flow to others.
The old ones say this is the highest form of prayer.
"You can pray for whatever you want, but it is always best to pray for others, not for yourself."
I realised that was what I have been doing .... praying for the well-being & happiness of my family & frens in this world & The Hereafter

It seemed like, even though there are those who have doubted me, Allah has granted me the ability to :-
1) be happy when my family/frens are happy
and sad when they're sad
2) the ability to give without expecting anything in return
3) to love without being loved
4) to care without being cared for
5) to remember my family & frens in my prayers & pray for them without expecting them to pray for me .....

O Allah, please prevent me from becoming a munafik
please allow me to continue doing the above
And may with that, I will always be happy being the person that I am.
