Everyone can be a storyteller

A New Day, A New Story

Every day is a new page, a new story. People create stories of their lives daily. Do they ever stop to think what story they have created? Do they ever feel their stories worth reflecting, sharing?

We all have different stories

We all have different experiences, different ways of looking at things. Even twins. Their parents may dress them in identical clothes and feed them the same food, they go to the same class and study the same things. Would they have different lives? Do they see things the same way? Would their stories be the same?

Allah is so Generous

Everything is as Allah SWT wills. He can make us all live differently. He may give us the same planet, the same neighbourhood. Yet He gives his willing slaves much more than He gives to those who reject faith.

Allah is Kind to Everyone

People work hard, they struggle to achieve their ambitions. Allah answers their pleas for help and mercy. Even idolaters and sinners, they still receive Allah's bounties and mercies. Only in this lifetime.

Greatest Mercy

His Greatest Mercy is reserved only for true believers. His humble slaves, who sometimes lose their way in the journey of life.

Those who believed in Him and tried their best to submit, within their own capabilities. If it were based on our piety and good deeds, none of us would deserve to enter Jannah/Paradise. It is only through Allah's Mercy and Compassion. Allah is ArRahman and ArRahim. The Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful.

Anyone can be Muslim

Anyone can choose to believe. Anyone can be a winner - if he wants. Yet many disbelieve, they will be the losers on the Day of Judgement. May Allah keep us strong and keep us on the straight path. Amiin.

Allah gives us the Right to Choose

In the end people eventually get what they wanted. How they lived their lives would determine what they will get later on. Allah is fair. He let us choose. No compulsion in religion.

One Way Journey

Once we have chosen, that is a contract to consciously submit to His will. We could have turned away but if we choose to enter as a willing slave, the choice ends there. We have to try our best to accept, to follow, to embrace. To submit wholeheartedly, even though the going gets tough sometimes. It happens.

Struggling to keep to the straight path

Often. Yet we keep on trying. We fail, we rise, we walk, we fall, we pick ourselves up.... life is like that. Just trying to learn, to share, to improve... one day at a time.
