It's OK by Me :)

Listening to Imogen Heap - Speeding Cars. This song is about a person who got cheated on for a while and that person knew that their significant other was cheating. It's over and this song is saying that they should move on because in life it's going to be hard obstacles such as this but you will go on. Well, it's nice song because it can relate to so many people who've had their hearts broken.

I belive this is about heartache whether it be from a ex or from family issues or maybe just feeling alone. She is talking about that day when it's all just too much and you can't handle it anymore. When you're tired of hurting and you want it all to stop before you go insane. That's why this song means so much to me.

When i first heard it sunk into my heart because it was so perfect for where i was in my life at that point. She's truly just trying to give everyone advice to live life for all it's worth and to be the best you can be, but still know that you'll never be perfect.

It's a really beautiful song if you listen to the melody and take a second to think about the lyrics. This song reminds me of high school. I could be a bit biased, considering this song played when the kids on the OC graduated in season 3, but the song is really well-fit for graduations, and just growing up and moving on in general.

LYRICS Imogen Heap - Speeding Cars
Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don't feed me violins
just run with me through rows of speeding cars.

The papercuts the cheating lovers
The coffee's never strong enough
i know you think it's more than just bad luck

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't lose your head
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

Sleeping pills know sleeping dogs lie
never far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I've watched you slowly winding down for years
You can't keep on like this...now's a bad a time as any

There there baby
it's just text book stuff
it's in the ABC of growing up
Now now darling
oh don't kill yourself
cause none of us were angels
and you know I love you yeah

it's ok by me..it was a long time ago
it's ok by me..it was a long time ago


p/s - Alin, Mc, Eli, Anis..this song goes to you :)

Kun Fayakun ( Be, and it is)

Mary wonders at how she shall give birth to a child and the answer given is Kun Fayakun. Obviously, this is not referring to an instant process but rather a gradual process.
3:47. She said: "O my Lord! How shall I have a son when no man has touched me." He said: "So (it will be) for Allâh creates what He wills. When He has decreed something, He says to it only: "Be!" and it is.
Mary in Islam (مريم "Maryam" in Arabic), the mother of Jesus, is venerated as a righteous woman. She is mentioned more times in the Qur'an than in the entire New Testament. According to the Qur'an, Jesus (called 'Isa in Arabic) was born miraculously by the will of God without a father. His mother is regarded as a chaste and virtuous woman and is a highly respected figure in Islam. The Qur'an states that Jesus was the result of a virgin birth, but that neither Mary nor her son was divine.

In the Qur'an, no other woman is given more attention than Mary. The nineteenth sura of the Qur'an is named after her and is, to some extent, about her life. Of the Qur'an's 114 suras, she is among only eight people who have a sura named after them. In Islam, she is generally referred to as Maryam, Umm Isa (Mary, the mother of Jesus). For Muslims she is a symbol of submission to God and piety.

Mary is one of the most highly-regarded women in Islam; there are several verses in the Qur'an praising her and confirming that she was an extremely chaste and pious woman. I wish , I could be strong as her as I AM also a MARYAM :)

Dua' :)

I am sinned. I hold hatred and revenge in my heart, deeply. When they meet anger it gone to sumthing BAD, sumthing really-really-really BAD. I regret everything after that. I wished I could reverse my time and turned everything right. But what's done are done. I could only pray that I cud fix myself and become someone BETTER. In my times, I find many reasons why I did not make Dua; I forgot, didn’t know how, or just do not think it will be answered. Fundamental to this was the loss of dependence and trust upon Allah. As a Muslim there is something very wrong when I believed my Duas won’t be answered. I did not turn to Allah in my times of need and instead put my trust, dependence and hopes on worldly things that I thot will help me. My FAULT i know. I always realize that.

Dua is the key to everything in life; key to all human needs - be it in this world or hereafter. However, being human as I am, I was always in a haste whenever I made dua to Allah (SWT) and expect an immediate answer.With making Dua and comes Sabr and lots more Sabr, I have become a people who wants instant gratification, I am used to pressing the buttons and getting what I want NOW. Dua does not work that way as we all know - the secret tool here is sabr….. The most important thing  I shud note that once dua is done concensiously with good intentions, be guaranteed that SWT will answer it. I may not see immediate result or get what I asked for but surely I will be answered. As a human I may not know whether what I was asking for from Allah (SWT) is the best for me at the time of my need(s) or not. Allah therefore knows the best for me at ALL TIMES and may decide to provide me with something else instead of what I asked for. A fren, a really good fren reminds me of that. Thanks DEAR :) 

I admit sometimes I become afraid of the evil around me and I am not sure sometimes how to become stronger. I know we should only fear Allah, but i know sometimes I become weak to my fears. Sometime I have often wondered, why my life seem so difficult, but as I look back, I see Allah was in front of me all the time. I can go on and on with all the things that Allah give to me and do for me. To say thank you is not enough. Though my times have been hard and still are many now, my thoughts are always that Allah see all and now all things and Allah’s word is the last word.

Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an:
“When my servants ask you concerning me, (tell them) I am indeed close (to them). I listen to the prayer of every suppliant when he calls on me.” [2:186]

May Allah bless us all and guide us to the right direction. Please pray for me that I won't do anymore STUPID things, anymore WASTE of my life. I love myself and I love you all :)
