'The reason why I choose to cover up and wearing tudung'
A sudden urge and feel to share my story on blog.
Last year, near to end of 2011, a good friend of mine had a major breakdown.. Relationship matters. When I say major, it was MAJOR (to the point we all cried with her, everyday mesti kena jumpa kasi semangat untuk kembali ke realiti dll) which we all enjoyed every minute of it.. Because it made us realized how important we are to each other..
Girls, we're fragile man, you got to take time to understand our words and actions..
I am considered very lucky to have found them whom we call as 'best friends'.. In my own personal experience or any relative matter, friends are the most important asset to build a strong, true friendship bond.. Its like a house.. When you want to build a good solid structure house, you'll find the most reliable, hard-rock construction company to complete the process.. Same goes to your selection of friends.. Its all in our hands, darling. So, thank you guys for being there for me nevertheless in any situation.. Thank you very much.. I might have lost my way to Allah if it wasn't of their extra support and words..
During that period of time, we decided to pray at the mosque (we were ignorant towards the value of praying in the mosque) and how important for us to fall in love with Allah than any other else.. We seek for answers, ways to endure the pain we experienced.. Dua and plead to him to ease and help us along the way.. As days went by, it became a conversation in bbm group where it went 'Guys, malam ni jom sembahyang kat masjid?' and continuously as a thing to do before lepak and pekena teh tarik.. I like that so much.. Hati kita semua tenang je...
New years eve, we celebrated at Nana's place, BBQ dinner, fireworks, sprays and had a small gathering with different conversations passed the night of 2011.. 2012!!!! Fitri, the genius in taking photographs/videos captured our beautiful moments and he called all of us to make a short video of ourselves.. Where we went about on what's our new year resolution so on and so forth..
Rasa teruja gila masa Fi panggil to do a video on all of us.. Sure gempak.. So I went and stand in front of him macam kena interview.. Emmmmmm nak cakap apa eh?? :/
I remember bits of it..
'Alhamdullilah, reached 2012 and thank you Allah for giving this opportunity to live on this world.. My new year resolution, in shaa Allah I would like to be near to Him and seek Him.. Will try to improve and strive for the better...'
In my heart I wished to fall in love with Allah and help me find the right way..
I did the best I could, read Al-Quran daily, pray in the mosque most of the time, listen more to parents (don't be too rebellious), dengar ceramah Sheikh all over the world, and read on Prophet RA stories... and more in order to be closer to our creator.. Truthfully, it was an amazing journey throughout the months.. There's ups and downs where I felt like giving up, malas, benci, semua lah... Tapi when I started to involve myself with volunteering work with Mercy Mission, it was the starting point.. Alhamdullilah for the awesomest people in there, surroundings! Cool, content, happening, noisy tapi have this goal in life to strive, improve and become better person for a place in Jannah in shaa Allah.. macam rasa not outdated or neglected instead I never felt so determined and pumped out! Great, amazing people masya Allah.. and not to forget, Young Muslim Project (YMP) where gradually they teach on what Islam knowledge are all about and exposing us youngsters to more better quality perspectives and so many more.. Just like their facebook page for more info. http://www.facebook.com/youngmuslimsproject?fref=ts
On Salah ;
“Dari Ibnu Mas’ud Radhiallaahu anhu, ia berkata, “Sesungguhnya Rasulullah Shallallaahu alaihi wa Salam mengajari kami sunnah-sunnah (jalan-jalan petunjuk dan kebenaran) dan di antara sunnah-sunnah tersebut adalah sembahyang di masjid yang dikumandangkan azan di dalamnya.” (HR. Muslim)

Realized where I started to feel the need to cover up.. I will never wear if it was a force by parents, for fashion trend (which is a very sad case nowadays, by looking at it) , relatives duk sibuk cakap pasal kita, or even for fun.. I will wear when I'm ready and decided to change my lifestyle.. From zero to a life perspectives towards Jannah... I heard it is a place where all of us definitely will love.. :)) So, let's all be together in this and work through it in shaa Allah..
Days before.. Try la juga amik gambar sendiri pakai tudung putih.. emmmm.. Dalam hati cakap 'kan elok ni watif...' aik.... tak pakai lagi... saja cuba je... Next day, pergi Curve, ada weekend bazaar.. Tengok kedai tudung.. Cantiknya color-color tudung ni.. Ada jugak yang pelik... :/ Apa punya style pun tak tau lah..
Work, work and work for it.. I want it.. I tried to reach for it and dua for Allah to give it to me.. Because deep down, I need that to realize life isn't that wonderful if you lost touch with Him..
Alhamdulillah, the day I woke up for a new life. Really amazing when you knew He helped you and want you to love Him and learn more about our religion.. That feeling was tremendously incredible.. As for now, I need to get up back again..
Got up and got involve with so many new activities by Mercy Mission, Al-Khadeem, various Islamic talks etc.. Find more peers who can help us through this journey.. And Alhamdulillah ( segala puji hanya untuk Allah)..

At the current moment, I need to bounce back and be pro-active.. Learn wisely, greet always, read Al-Quran daily and pray shall not be missed...
I would like to share my story on why covering up is not just covering up but doing more good deeds and pray more to Him for a place in Jannah.. and I will pray to go Hajj one day..
Don't wear for fashion or trend.. We've got to fill in our hearts slowly, and gradually in shaa Allah we can.. We sure can.. I am in need of help, so please help each other every time we fall.. Because Islam is easy.. We made it harder..
Wonderful journey towards Islam..
Thank you for not judging.. Assalamualaikum.
