It's been a few weeks since I updated this blog. I know I had not been a good blogger. The thing is, I don't have my own personal desktop at home and Darma took hold of my iPad from Day 1 that I bought it. I hate blogging from my iphone and my children are on their computers when they are home. Everyone got their own laptops or desktops, except me. We have become solitary with our games, videos and online social media that it's really hard to get everyone together. My kids are growing up pretty quick as teenagers and they have their own interests and habits. I reminisce those times when they were little children and begging me to take them everywhere I go. How times fly.
But the thing about having grown up children is that they could be your best friend. You can talk to them about grown up stuff and you'll be surprised to know that they know some stuff more than you do. We can learn a lot from one another.
One of the most important things I tell my children, or rather what I nag my children constantly is to do their prayers without fail. I'm like the second adzan, when the first one which was on time failed to move them, and then I come to the picture to remind them to drop everything else and do their prayers. I know this sounds tiring but I will not stop reminding them. My children are not rebellious and they get up to do their duty when I asked them to, either because they want me to stop nagging or they actually wanted to. Maybe sometimes a little bit of both. We were all once a teenager, remember.
I really feel blessed that sometimes I get to see the end of things. Life now has never been clearer. That would often jolt me out of my ordinary life and put everything into perspective. It's really hard to explain things to other people who don't see things the way you do. It humbled me completely, not that I was not previously but I see things differently now. Sometimes it does comes out preachy but that's all right. Everyone will see it at different times in their life when it's time, though it's really hard to see the significance of things that is happening around us if you don't have faith in the first place.
I read that God sent His angels to give hardships to his servants, because He misses us and wants us to talk to Him, to pour our hearts to Him all our troubles. So take time to say your zikir on a daily basis.
'Remember Him in time of ease and He will remember you in time of need'.
Have a good Friday, take care of your health and do so 'kerana Allah Ta'ala'.

As I stood from my balcony, I noticed how low the clouds seem to be, like as if we were able to touch them. What do the clouds carry in them?

I like this. Yes, solat is the core of everything. I've been making it a compulsory thing for my kids at their ages now. They showed tight faces initially but now they're OK. I'm proud of them. Alhamdullillah :]

Salam to all my friends. :)
