Nearness to You – Heartfelt Conversations of a Traveller’s Journey to Allah 💝


Assalamualaikum & Hi readers,

May All of you having a great days ahead this month!

Nearness to You from Nur Fadhilah Wahid is a book that consist of author’s sentimental story and experiences compilation throughout her spiritual hijrah journey to find herself and Allah 😌. 

This book shown her experiences and stories that make us to reflect ourselves that journey to seek for Allah’s blessings and rahmah is not only focusing on knowing what halal & haram in Islam is, but also about witnessing His immense and extraordinary love for each one of us. Awww 😍

What I like about this book:

  • The book cover is very beautiful!
  • When I purchased this book, there was some backstory. I bought this book during a period when I was annoyed with my colleague because of his behaviour, and it turned into hatred. To be honest, I dislike this type of negative feeling and find it exhausting. When I saw this book, I thought it was a sign that I needed to calm down a little by looking for hikmah for his presence in my department. Alhamdulillah, the severity of hatred is decreasing. May Allah gives guidance to him to change his behaviour. Amiin 👐. 
  • As Im currently economically struggling, Trust & Reliance chapter which is about rezq is quite closed to my heart and relatable to me.  
    • “Two very important important principles about rezq that if you remember always, you will be free of so much stress:
      • The first: Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala is the One who gives you, your rezq. The ONLY one. Not your employer. Not your parents. Not your social workers. Not your customers.
      •  The second most important principles is this: Do work. Halal work. Good work, with many good intentions, one which is means for Allah Subhanahu wa ta’ala to give you His rezq.”

These quotes make my heart and mind at ease and reminder to me to always husnuzon in every pathway that had been decided by Allah is for my own goodness. 

After all, without Allah, we are nothing and with Allah, we can do everything.

See you again ✌.

Long Gone 🩸

Assalamualaikum & Hi readers, Happy to share my first read for this year with a crime and thriller book, Long Gone by Alafair Burke🥀 This book tells the story of Alice Humphrey, who has been jobless for months, and is offered her dream position as manager of an art gallery by Drew. Drew was employed as a go-between by the gallery's upper management, who are notoriously secretive. Even worse, for her first project, she was bombarded with protests and news interviews over the ‘secret artist’ art piece at the gallery, where the artwork was highly controversial. She made an effort to talk to Drew about it and they arranged a meeting time at the gallery. Unfortunately, she discovered that the gallery was vacant on the day of the meeting—all that was left was Drew's lifeless body and she was quickly put as the main suspect . Many storyline twists occur from the investigation to reveal the truth till the conclusion of the book. For someone who like drama and conspiracy theories, ...

Sekufu

We know, everyone is growing with different way of approach from their parents, different education background, different way of life and working style. Adik beradik pun berlainan perangai and habit, apatah lagi suami isteri yang asalnya ialah orang yang asing. Jadi, untuk mencari yang sekufu to be our partner is not an easy thing. For me, this book describe Sekufu (well written by Aiman Azlan & Dr. Halina Halizah Siraj) is not sekadar "sebab saya Muet Band 4 jadi awak pun kena Band 4". Its not only about your education backgroud. But its all started with communications and how we embraced perbezaan yang ada with our partners by using an effective communication. And its giving me a reminder that marriage is not about "You" & "Me", but its all about "Us" like one of the phrase in this book that said " Konflik yang berlaku tidak sepatutnya berakhir dengan 'saya menang kamu kalah'. Semua konflik mesti diselesaikan dalam kedua-du...
