Towards betterment

Assalamualaikum and good morning!

It's now 11:12 a.m. while I'm typing this post and I just got back from class a few minutes ago. I have another class at 2 p.m afterwards. I'm all alone in the room while my roommates are in class, so I choose to blog rather than sleep.

So what I want to tell here is, the other day, 2 weeks ago if I'm not mistaken, I was with my housemates wandering around the shops outside East Coast Mall after withdrawing our money at Bank Islam. So we entered into a bookstore where actually Najwa and I wanted to find a book about Fikh Puasa Wanita for our group assignment. Later on, I saw a book by Diana Amir entitled Titisan Mahabbah. I do not know why but my heart was asking me to get the book. It was like my instinct has told me it is a good book, and I have to read it. Without further thought, I paid for the book. 

Since I have so many things to do and so many commitments to give, I don't have the time to read it until last night, after I was done with my Psychology tutorial, I grabbed the book from above my locker and started to read it. And Masha Allah, that book has brought me to tears. Tears of amazement, tears of stupefaction and tears of fear were taking over me that I can not handle. We all know how Diana Amir was like before, but she has become someone who is very, very different from the past. "There is no sinner that does not have a future, and there is no saint that does not have a past", they say. Yet, it is very true. She has changed herself 360 degrees and in that book, she told her experiences when she went hiking the Jabal Musa with her mates, she got a note from one "bonda" that she does not know who until now and so many more. I have yet to finish the book, though. But I have felt such an amazement when reading her book. I wonder how it is like to read it until the end. 

Since I was so tired and sleepy last night, I left it aside and only managed to read til page 34. Definitely looking forward to continue tonight, or this evening, after I'm done with classes. Let us all take it as a lesson, and make it as a motivation to change ourselves. Towards betterment. Not everyone can have the experience like Diana Amir, but we definitely can have our own experience by appreciating ourselves and accept what Allah has given us. It would be more meaningful. To feel the change. To accept the difference with ourselves. 

Wallahu'alam.
