Eons has it been since the last time I answered to DailyPost’s Prompt. What was that? Oh, it’s “Explain the name of your blog and why you choose it“. And that challenge was due on August 9, 2011. Whoa! Where have I been all this time?  *sheepish smile* Frankly, I feel awkward to present the “long time no blog” opening each time I post something. Right, people. No rotten tomatoes, please. I come in peace.

Yeah.

As you can see in the title of this awesome post, I pick today as the first day in 2013 to rejoin DailyPost challenge. I can’t say that there will be daily post in here. Depends on how interesting the prompt gets. Right. Let’s see what do I have in mind for this one.

Hi, Mom! *kisses you slobberishly on the cheek*

It’s awkward for me to write a letter that you’ll never read. And it’s more awkward for me to say it directly to you. You see, I’m one of those kids who show their love with action, not words. Because not even the word love can do my love to you justice. This daughter of yours do not take the phrase “you’re my sun, you’re my moon” to her boyfriend. No. I am kind of different. In each and every breath I take, I take it for you. For your smile. For your happiness. I am as much as the air you breathe as you are to me, if not more.

It pains me not being able to bring smile to your lovely face today. It shackles me every time I raised my voice when I talked to you, caused by some silly arguments. It scorches me to see the tears falling from your eyes, because or not because of me. It tears me apart if I cannot make your wish come true.

How I wish I can live a thousand years if I can make you happier and happier in each year. And how I wish I die before you because, I swear, Mom, if someday you leave me alone in this world, you’ll make me a body without soul. An ocean without water. A world without air. Eyes without eyesight. Voice without sound. Because you are that important to me.

Because you are my everything.

As long as I live, I will try my hardest to please you, even though I know it’s a hard thing to do. It’s not as if you ask me to do so, though. I just feel like everything I give you is not enough. You sweat for me. You struggle for me. You bare with me and my childish needs. You make who I am right now. Again, even the utterance “thank you” cannot do my gratefullness to you justice. I hope, and I pray, may each and every sweat you broke for me will grant you one thousand rewards from Allah SWT. May each and everything you do for my wellbeing will give you Allah’s blessing here in this world and hereafter. And may each and every pray for me will lead you straight to Jannah. Amiin…

Mom, even though I rarely say this word, please, know that it’s because it’s such a big and heavy word for me. So big and heavy my tongue can’t bare to say it often. So big and heavy I can’t help but cry when I say it.

I love you.

Very much.

It’s been forever since the last time I update this blog. The main reason why this lovely blog was abandoned because I have been caught up with Wattpad –an awesome community for Writers and Readers–. In Wattpad you can read million stories for free AND you can post a story of your own! It’s so much fun, and I can’t resist the temptation to be online everyday in there.

I’ve been writing two stories so far, both of them are still in progress. Feel free to head to this page if you want to read my novels: www.wattpad.com/user/azweiris. Inspired by my friend Addy, I started another blog about my stories, teasers for upcoming chapters, etc. It barely started, *giggles* so there are yet much to read.

Here’s the link of my new blog: www.azweiris.wordpress.com

Thanks and bubye…

Do you know?
That even after an endless darkness
And moonless night
Day shall come
And sun shall shine
Blue shall be the colour of the sky
And black shall bid us goodbye

Do you know?
That even after the wrath of raging storm
The world shall calm
Clouds shall open up
Revealing a glorious arch of glowing rainbow
Soil shall be fertile
And flowers shall bloom

Do you know?
That even after the never-ending thorny pathways
And dark wilderness
Earth shall spread out wide and clear
And you shall be lost never again

Do you know?
That behind the jagged and rocky mountain
And fast current of flowing river
A vast expanse of green field shall spread
And birds shall bring the news of peaceful abide

There is always joy after sorrow
Peace after pain
Smile after tears
Help and bless after trials
And answer for every prayer

Do you know?
That no matter what happens
God is always with us
He never leaves
Even if the whole world turns against us
Unfailing is His sympathy
Undying is His love

Hate Him not for your suffering
Deny not of His existence
For everything is merely a test
To measure how strong is your faith
And how much is your love
In Him
To Him
Lord of the whole universe
The Most Beneficent

Don’t you believe?
Ask your wounded conscience
And corrupted heart…

I asked Allah to make my handicapped child whole.
Allah said, No.
His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary

I asked Allah to grant me patience.
Allah said, No.
Patience is a byproduct of tribulations; it isn’t granted, it is learned.

I asked Allah to give me happiness.
Allah said, No.
I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you.

I asked Allah to spare me pain.
Allah said, No.
Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me.

I asked Allah to make my spirit grow.
Allah said, No.
You must grow on your own! But I will prune you to make you fruitful.

I asked Allah for all things that I might enjoy life.
Allah said, No.
I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things.

I ask Allah to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me.
Allah said… Ah, finally you understand

THIS DAY IS YOURS DON’T THROW IT AWAY

“Convey from me even a verse ..” (hadith)

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas:

Abu Sufyan bin Harb informed me that Heraclius had sent a messenger to him while he had been accompanying a caravan from Quraish. They were merchants doing business in Sham (Syria, Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan), at the time when Allah’s Apostle had truce with Abu Sufyan and Quraish infidels. So Abu Sufyan and his companions went to Heraclius at Ilya (Jerusalem). Heraclius called them in the court and he had all the senior Roman dignitaries around him. He called for his translator who, translating Heraclius’s question said to them, “Who amongst you is closely related to that man who claims to be a Prophet?” Abu Sufyan replied, “I am the nearest relative to him (amongst the group).”

Heraclius said, “Bring him (Abu Sufyan) close to me and make his companions stand behind him.” Abu Sufyan added, Heraclius told his translator to tell my companions that he wanted to put some questions to me regarding that man (The Prophet) and that if I told a lie they (my companions) should contradict me.” Abu Sufyan added, “By Allah! Had I not been afraid of my companions labeling me a liar, I would not have spoken the truth about the Prophet. The first question he asked me about him was:

‘What is his family status amongst you?’
I replied, ‘He belongs to a good (noble) family amongst us.’
Heraclius further asked, ‘Has anybody amongst you ever claimed the same (i.e. to be a Prophet) before him?’
I replied, ‘No.’
He said, ‘Was anybody amongst his ancestors a king?’
I replied, ‘No.’
Heraclius asked, ‘Do the nobles or the poor follow him?’
I replied, ‘It is the poor who follow him.’
He said, ‘Are his followers increasing decreasing (day by day)?’
I replied, ‘They are increasing.’
He then asked, ‘Does anybody amongst those who embrace his religion become displeased and renounce the religion afterwards?’
I replied, ‘No.’
Heraclius said, ‘Have you ever accused him of telling lies before his claim (to be a Prophet)?’
I replied, ‘No. ‘
Heraclius said, ‘Does he break his promises?’
I replied, ‘No. We are at truce with him but we do not know what he will do in it.’ I could not find opportunity to say anything against him except that.
Heraclius asked, ‘Have you ever had a war with him?’
I replied, ‘Yes.’
Then he said, ‘What was the outcome of the battles?’
I replied, ‘Sometimes he was victorious and sometimes we.’
Heraclius said, ‘What does he order you to do?’
I said, ‘He tells us to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship anything along with Him, and to renounce all that our ancestors had said. He orders us to pray, to speak the truth, to be chaste and to keep good relations with our Kith and kin.’

Heraclius asked the translator to convey to me the following, I asked you about his family and your reply was that he belonged to a very noble family. In fact all the Apostles come from noble families amongst their respective peoples. I questioned you whether anybody else amongst you claimed such a thing, your reply was in the negative. If the answer had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man was following the previous man’s statement. Then I asked you whether anyone of his ancestors was a king. Your reply was in the negative, and if it had been in the affirmative, I would have thought that this man wanted to take back his ancestral kingdom.

I further asked whether he was ever accused of telling lies before he said what he said, and your reply was in the negative. So I wondered how a person who does not tell a lie about others could ever tell a lie about Allah. I, then asked you whether the rich people followed him or the poor. You replied that it was the poor who followed him. And in fact all the Apostle have been followed by this very class of people. Then I asked you whether his followers were increasing or decreasing. You replied that they were increasing, and in fact this is the way of true faith, till it is complete in all respects. I further asked you whether there was anybody, who, after embracing his religion, became displeased and discarded his religion. Your reply was in the negative, and in fact this is (the sign of) true faith, when its delight enters the hearts and mixes with them completely. I asked you whether he had ever betrayed. You replied in the negative and likewise the Apostles never betray. Then I asked you what he ordered you to do. You replied that he ordered you to worship Allah and Allah alone and not to worship any thing along with Him and forbade you to worship idols and ordered you to pray, to speak the truth and to be chaste. If what you have said is true, he will very soon occupy this place underneath my feet and I knew it (from the scriptures) that he was going to appear but I did not know that he would be from you, and if I could reach him definitely, I would go immediately to meet him and if I were with him, I would certainly wash his feet.’ Heraclius then asked for the letter addressed by Allah’s Apostle which was delivered by Dihya to the Governor of Busra, who forwarded it to Heraclius to read.

The contents of the letter were as follows:

“In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful (This letter is) from Muhammad the slave of Allah and His Apostle to Heraclius the ruler of Byzantine. Peace be upon him, who follows the right path. Furthermore I invite you to Islam, and if you become a Muslim you will be safe, and Allah will double your reward, and if you reject this invitation of Islam you will be committing a sin by misguiding your Arisiyin (peasants). (And I recite to you Allah’s Statement:)

‘O people of the scripture! Come to a word common to you and us that we worship none but Allah and that we associate nothing in worship with Him, and that none of us shall take others as Lords beside Allah. Then, if they turn away, say: Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah).’ (Âl ‘Imran 3:64).

Abu Sufyan then added, “When Heraclius had finished his speech and had read the letter, there was a great hue and cry in the Royal Court. So we were turned out of the court. I told my companions that the question of Ibn-Abi-Kabsha) (the Prophet Muhammad) has become so prominent that even the King of Bani Al-Asfar (Byzantine) is afraid of him. Then I started to become sure that he (the Prophet) would be the conqueror in the near future till I embraced Islam (i.e. Allah guided me to it).”

The sub narrator adds, “Ibn An-Natur was the Governor of llya’ (Jerusalem) and Heraclius was the head of the Christians of Sham. Ibn An-Natur narrates that once while Heraclius was visiting ilya’ (Jerusalem), he got up in the morning with a sad mood. Some of his priests asked him why he was in that mood? Heraclius was a foreteller and an astrologer. He replied, ‘At night when I looked at the stars, I saw that the leader of those who practice circumcision had appeared (become the conqueror). Who are they who practice circumcision?’ The people replied, ‘Except the Jews nobody practices circumcision, so you should not be afraid of them (Jews).

‘Just Issue orders to kill every Jew present in the country.’ While they were discussing it, a messenger sent by the king of Ghassan to convey the news of Allah’s Apostle to Heraclius was brought in. Having heard the news, he (Heraclius) ordered the people to go and see whether the messenger of Ghassan was circumcised. The people, after seeing him, told Heraclius that he was circumcised. Heraclius then asked him about the Arabs. The messenger replied, ‘Arabs also practice circumcision.’

(After hearing that) Heraclius remarked that sovereignty of the ‘Arabs had appeared. Heraclius then wrote a letter to his friend in Rome who was as good as Heraclius in knowledge. Heraclius then left for Homs (a town in Syria) and stayed there till he received the reply of his letter from his friend who agreed with him in his opinion about the emergence of the Prophet and the fact that he was a Prophet. On that Heraclius invited all the heads of the Byzantines to assemble in his palace at Homs. When they assembled, he ordered that all the doors of his palace be closed. Then he came out and said, ‘O Byzantines! If success is your desire and if you seek right guidance and want your empire to remain then give a pledge of allegiance to this Prophet (i.e. embrace Islam).’

(On hearing the views of Heraclius) the people ran towards the gates of the palace like onagers but found the doors closed. Heraclius realized their hatred towards Islam and when he lost the hope of their embracing Islam, he ordered that they should be brought back in audience.

(When they returned) he said, ‘What already said was just to test the strength of your conviction and I have seen it.’ The people prostrated before him and became pleased with him, and this was the end of Heraclius’s story (in connection with his faith). (Sahih Bukhari, vol.1, book 1, no. 6)

In the sixth year after the hijrah (the migration to Medina), the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him, decided to expand the scope of his mission. He sent eight letters to rulers in the Arabian Peninsula and surrounding areas inviting them to Islam. One of these rulers was Thumamah ibn Uthal.

Thumamah ibn Uthal al-Haneefi was one of the most powerful Arab rulers in the pre-Islamic era. This is not surprising since he was a chieftain of the Banu Hanifah and one of the rulers of al-Yamamah whose word no one dared to challenge or disobey.

When Thumamah received the Prophet’s letter, he was consumed by anger and rejected it. He refused to listen to the invitation of Truth and goodness. More than that, he felt a strong desire to go and kill the Prophet and bury his mission with him.

Thumamah waited and waited for a convenient time to carry out his design against the Prophet until eventually forgetfulness caused him to lose interest. One of his uncles, however, reminded him of his plan, praising what he intended to do.

In the pursuit of his evil design against the Prophet, Thumamah met and killed a group of the Prophet’s companions. The Prophet thereupon declared him a wanted man who could lawfully be killed on sight.

Not long afterwards, Thumamah decided to perform umrah (the lesser pilgrimage). He wanted to perform Tawaf (circumambulation) around the Kaabah and sacrifice to the idols there (The people of Mecca, before becoming Muslims, placed hundreds of idols in the Kaaba). So he left al-Yamamah for Mecca. As he was passing near Medina, an incident took place which he had not anticipated.

Groups of Muslims were patrolling the districts of Medina and outlying areas on the lookout for any strangers or anyone intent on causing trouble. One of these groups came upon Thumamah and apprehended him, but they did not know who he was. They took him to Medina and tied him to one of the columns in the mosque. They waited for the Prophet himself to question the man and decide what should be done with him.

Just as he was about to enter the mosque, the Prophet saw Thumamah, so he asked his companions,

“Do you know whom you have taken?”

“No, messenger of God,” they replied.

“This is Thumamah ibn Uthal al-Haneefi,” he said. “You have done well in capturing him.”

The Prophet then returned home to his family and said,

“Get what food you can and send it to Thumamah ibn Uthal.”

He then ordered his camel to be milked in order to provide him with milk. All this was done before he met Thumamah or had spoken to him.

The Prophet then approached Thumamah hoping to encourage him to become a Muslim.

“What do you have to say for yourself?” he asked.

“If you want to kill in reprisal,” Thumamah replied, “you can have someone of noble blood to kill. If, out of your bounty, you want to forgive, I shall be grateful. If you want money as ransom, I shall give you whatever amount you ask.”

The Prophet then left him for two days, but still personally sent him food and drink and milk from his camel. The Prophet then went back to him and asked,

“What do you have to say for yourself?”

Thumamah repeated what he had said a couple of days beforehand. The Prophet then left and came back to him the following day.

“What do you have to say for yourself?”

He asked again, and Thumamah repeated what he had said the previous day once more. Then the Prophet turned to his companions and said,

“Set him free.”

Thumamah left the mosque of the Prophet and rode out on the trail to Mecca until he came to a palm grove on the outskirts of Medina near al-Baqee (a place of luxuriant vegetation which later became a cemetery for many of the Prophet’s companions). He watered his camel and took a complete bath there. Then he made his way back to the Prophet’s mosque. There, he stood before a congregation of Muslims and said:

“I bear witness that there is no true god but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His messenger.”

He then went to the Prophet and said:

“O Muhammad, by God, there was never on this earth a face more detestable than yours. Now, yours is the dearest face of all to me. I have killed some of your men,” he continued, “I am at your mercy. What will you have done to me?”

“There is now no blame on you, Thumamah,” replied the Prophet. “Becoming a Muslim obliterates past actions and marks a new beginning.”

I’d like to give my two cents about the video. It’s really amazing how they knew about that top secret project of the Illuminati and make a truth revealing video about it. It’s seriously mind blowing and never in my life would I ever imagine that HUMAN would be able to plan something so big like that. But I’d like to correct on the part when they said that when it’s happening, then we will see this. Muslim will see Muhammad SAW and Christian will see Jesus with their hologram whatsoever thingy. *I don’t really understand the sistem *

I’m pretty much aware that Jesus is Christian’s God or one of their God. But if they think Muhammad is our God then they are totally wrong. Mohammad SAW is God’s apostle, so is Jesus AS. We love both of them, as well as we do to Adam, Abraham, Noah, Ishmael, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and other Allah’s apostles. We believe that Jesus AS will come down again one day to declare the bitter truth for some groups about what they believe all these years. So, that’s all I have to say about the certain part of the video.

Peace and Love,
Dewy Azura

All fidgetiness your human heart felt
To share a story in the name of love
Streaming tears you drop in your prostrates
As if never enough to keep me safe

Do not blind your heart to become false love, my dear
Do not mire our love into the mud of sins

You breathe the verses of love for me
In between prayers in lonely nights
Forgiveness you beg in all doubts that pervading your soul
May it bring your love to me in the way of His blessings

Do not blind your heart to become false love, my dear
Do not mire our love into the mud of sins

You breathe the verses of love for me
In the stinging hot sun and the chilly cold nights
You pray the verses of love to Him
To protect and guard our love story
Forever… together…
In the beauty of pure love
