My life now, I'm lovin it! Alhamdulillah...... :D
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
I know my English is too broken to be used in this story, but perhaps, because of my limited vocabularies, I can keep the message simple but still understandable.
It's been 17 months I left my job on an unpaid leave, to accompany my husband in the UK for his study. This is the period for me as a housewife. Some may say, what's in a housewives' life? They don't go out much, not socializing everyday like those women at work, are they just wake up, prepare food, and go to sleep anytime they feel tired (with their babies)?
Haha.
Yes, for me it's true if one say that some housewife don't talk a lot about shoes and handbags because they do not have much freedom of money. However, I found my life as a housewife is richer than I am anything else before:) Alhamdulillah.
The most precious thing that I found now, is the Quran. Obviously, how well I manage my time at home lies in the barakah of reading Al Quran as the first thing in the morning. PLEASE try this at home :) you'll feel it InsyaAllah!!! In fact, I DO feel miserable if I wake up without even reading at least 1 verse in the early morning. I think my husband can obviously notice this. While my little girl turn grumpy that day. However, if I need to rush to keep everything ready for my husband, I will have Quran after he go to the school.
When I started my life in here, I always pray to Allah that He would show for me a path of future. I didn't realize that He's drawing me closer and closer to the Quran. It's really true that without have to go out for work, I have much time at home, to spend with my Muna, and to do chores. However since I discover that life is greater than that, I tried to find answers through the Quran... We all know, it is a manual for us Muslims to live on. It is greater than that. I couldn't describe more.
How was the feeling started?
:: Alhamdulillah since I joined a Malaysian sisters' circle. We named it Quran di Hati (Quran at Heart) circle. Everyday except weekends, we had tasks to listen to or read about description about a verse in the Quran and share them with the others. Since then, my understanding on the Quran is like a dry land slowly showered by rain. ;) May Allah take care of this group forever in Southampton. Ameen.
So circle, or usrah is really important. The message of Allah's mercy is spread with love contained in a friendship for Allah. It's more than a friendship. It's called ukhuwah.
After that, I realized even more... that sometimes when something evolves around me, or if I am getting down, Allah has everything to say to me from the Quran.
For example --> when I think of giving something that I no longer need to somebody else, I found Allah talk to me at the moment (when I read the Quran):
Never will you attain the good [reward] until you spend [in the way of Allah ] from that which you love. And whatever you spend - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.
(Ali Imran: 92)
It's really bad when lots of Muslims now being away from the Quran, while Allah has provide everything in it, yet we still messed up and being in a deep depression. In the other hand, many non Muslims revert to Islam when they open the Quran with an intention of searching. Alhamdulillah.
Being in the UK, as a country with Islam as the most widely spread religion, is a great blessing for me. We can see Allah's signs clearly that stated in the Quran, by comparing it with the surrounding.
That doesn't mean you have to be here at my place if you want to receive guidance from Allah. All you need is to ask from Allah, work out for that, and find suitable friends that can help you. Read the Quran with OPEN eyes, heart, and mind.
That's all for now. I pray that even if I have to return to the busy and hectic life again in Malaysia one day, my relationship with Allah will be much stronger. And hope to get the best rest when I leave this world.
I pray that my 2014 journey with the Quran becomes sweeter everyday. So as for my lovely husband and children :)
InsyaAllah.
Conclusion: if you are a busy working women, don't get sad if you really badly want to feel the way I feel. All you have to do is:
1. Allocate time for Al Quran (read, read the translation, reflect)... If you think that you are so busy, maybe you can reflect on how bad if a grown up children becomes busy with life and refuse to contact their parents.
2....with a group of Muslim friends. That's means a circle/ usrah/ halaqah which is specially for you to spend your time, increasing knowledge of Allah. Being alone sometimes can't pull your mind out of blurred perspective (I hope you do understand what I mean, here you may need to have at least 1 or 2 friends that may have better knowledge and understanding about the Deen)
.... and compulsory with family at home. This will put lots of blessing into your family!
You can refer to the Tafseer, there are a lot on the internet, just google:
1. The Linguistic Miracle
2. Nouman Ali Khan/ Baiyyinah ( a lot in Youtube)
3. Tafseer fi Zilal
4. Tafseer Ibn Kathir
:D Thanks for reading! May this entry benefits you and Jazakumullahukhair...
