One Heart. One Soul.

Moments. A moment of hope. A moment of despair. The truth. Is it what's said or does it hide in that which is heard? The words of the mind most certainly can contradict the beating of the heart. Pleasures that seem so dear vanish once exposed to the reality and temporary breath I breathe. The human heart is quite funny at times, feeling greatly affected by those you don't even know. Today, a young girl returned to Allah SWT after fighting a form of children's cancer, neuroblastoma. May Allah SWT grant patience to her family and give Princess Aliza a place in Jannatul Firdaus.

I had followed this young girl's story for a while, and was aware that her treatments had failed and she was being sent back to her home in Netherlands. But I guess it isn't as simple when reality strikes and the truth lingers over leaving nothing less than a broken heart. This little girl has fused great inspiration to me. Who am I and why am I here? Being so caught up in the midst of materialism rejecting the true beauty of existence. The great fall occurs where the mind follows not what it yearns, instead magnetises towards that which is expected. Please, do inform me of the benefits of serving a self conceited life which appears to be of 'perfection' and ease in the eyes of the world. What about the eyes of soul? I oppose the central norms of life, the created and confined life style where one lives only to die.

There are people. People other than ourselves sharing the same earth as you and I. To help others. To be selfless and kind, but only with the purest of intentions. That's the dreams that I yearn so deeply for. By the grace of God I have been blessed with much, the mere reason for this I do but ponder. Such blessings have a purpose. To be grateful and use it as a means of benefit, not only for myself but for the good of all.

To be rich and famous was once my goals. But how would that have been satisfactory? After all, what is true fame and money? To inspire, to learn and to grow. I pray that Allah SWT assists myself and everyone else to achieve life's true purpose; to please God and do good selflessly.

The string of thoughts

Tonight. 12.51am to be precise. Crazy right? It's never easy to face the true fears that lie within your deepest self. Maybe that's why I kept ignoring it, pretending that it never existed. But I was wrong. The turnstile of life draws the most vulnerable and true parts of you out, and yet I fail to see that I am limited. I am limited by myself. It's almost impossible for me to acknowledge the reality at times, to say for once that I may well and truly desire to explore beyond that which I have been given. Why, still, do I remain trapped? Do these words I let flow even create fathomable sentences? Is this the reason I was brought into this admittedly small and time bound world which will eventually consume me before pledging to another soul?  These question I pose, I leave for myself to answer but realise how much more confused it only makes me. That emptiness. It's eating me away leaving me lost and open to a soul of darkness and falsity. But then, it is I who brought u...

To force upon a change.

Tonight was amongst the nights where I begin to question many things. My choices, my life, my perspective; it's all being put under the light and I see myself making decisions I otherwise would not have fathomed. More often than not, such moments make me happy. It comes to me as a differential point between what truly matter and what I have left to perceive as important. Sudden change can bring about good. "Change is an inevitable process". Oh my love for such concept cannot fairly be expressed after undergoing an entire module in English on the notion of change. *Sigh*, the joys of english. Anywho, I feel enlightened after making quite a decision tonight, although I do hope my faith in this choice isn't as periodic as the thought of change was!

Two steps forward, one step back.

Many believe that it is an important step in life to keep moving forward and never look back. I don't understand what seems to be so wrong and abominable to take a step back and reflect. We may not be shaped by our past, however it has composed us to be who we currently are. Whenever we move forward in life, it's quite important to stop, turn back and see where we came from. Our only measure of success is with the reflection of who we were yesterday. Why must we be told to forget our previous doings, whether good or bad? We quite definitely have the capability to walk a million miles in our own shoes, however as we begin to gain comfort in our shoes, we must remember what has brought about this difference. Let our past be the movie we turn to in the moments of forgetting who we are. From now on wards, it's two steps forward yet one step back.
