Excellence,not perfection

Getting married isn’t going to solve our inabilities to wake up for Fajr or get up for qiyam. We need to develop our own selves without expecting marriage to somehow magically change our lives. Marriage can be a great tool of self-improvement and can help us change for the best, with Allah’s will. Marriage is amongst the greatest blessings that Allah (swt) can bestow on a person; and the creation of a family, and taking care of that family, is amongst the greatest acts of worship. But if we are not personally working on ourselves now, how can we expect that it will be easier with the additional baggage of another individual who is also imperfect?

Ameen ya Rabb

Sometimes, we tend to neglect this very important Dua and let us make this Dua our regular supplication inshaAllah Taala~ :)

dah tahu diri akan mati. dah tahu hati inginkan syurga, tapi tak ada effort untuk ke arah itu T_T

If everyone is pleased with you but Allah is not, what have you gained? And if Allah is pleased with you but no one else is, what have you lost?
