Gratitude: Finding Joy in the Smallest Blessings

 We often think that happiness lies in grand milestone like landing a dream job, travelling the world and etc. We often chase after big achievements which is great , but in doing so , we sometimes forget to appreciate the small things that make life truly beautiful.


Imagine waking up one day, losing your sense of taste or imagine being unable to blink? That's so scary 😰 😰 

These are the small blessings that we rarely acknowledge , right?


The Power Of Shift In Perspective 

Gratitude is not about having everything. It's about realising that what we already have is enough. The Prophet Muhammad ( pbuh) taught us to be grateful in all circumstances.

" Look at those who are lower than you ( in wealth and in status) , and do not look at those above , lest you belittle the favours of Allah ( upon you) , ( Sahih Muslim ).

This Hadith reminds us that shifting our perspective can lead to contentment.


So.... How do we find gratitude in the small things?

1. Taakeeeeeee a deeeeeeeepppppppp breath and let it out. What do we breathe ? Oxygen, correct. Do we have to pay for it ? Nope . Say Alhamdulillah for the oxygen.

2. Go to the sink, turn on the tap , what flows out of it? Clean water . Alhamdulillah for the clean water. Now, don't forget to turn off the tap .

3. Look at yourself, you're pain free . You're able to do everything without physical limitations. Alhamdulillah 

And many more 💕 


How to practice gratitude daily?

1. Say Alhamdulillah often

2. Recall things that you're grateful for before going to bed

3. Make Dua for what you already have ( Thank Allah for what you already have).

4. Express gratitude to others by just simply saying thank you or smile.

5. Force yourself to see challenges as blessings for it shape us into better individuals.


May Allah make us among those who are always grateful.

Alhamdulillah for everything, Thank You Ya Rabb 💕

Ujian Dan Jalan Pulang Kepada Allah

6 Rejab 1446 AH 6 January 2025  5:51 am  Jalan Taiping, Kuala Lumpur. Fitrah manusia. Kadang kala kita lupa. Lalu, Allah hadirkan ujian buat mereka yang terpilih, supaya kita kembali kepada Allah. Allah tidak mahu selamanya kita hanyut dengan arus dunia. Cuma hati, yang kadang kala terlalu ' buta' untuk melihat hikmah.  Kisah saya.  Beberapa bulan lepas, saya memulakan clinical di salah sebuah hospital kerajaan di ibu kota. Semestinya, perasaan gementar, excited ,takut semua Ada. Pada awalnya, semuanya berjalan dengan sangat lancar. Sehinggakan saya berasa sangat sangat seronok. I got attached to that place. Saya meletakkan 50% of punca kebahagiaan saya di situ.  Tiada hidup yang sempurna.  Lalu, sampai di sela masa tertentu, Allah hadirkan ujian sebagai teguran untuk saya kembali kepada Allah. Bertubi-tubi, pelbagai jenis, sehinggakan saya berasa teramat  kecewa, buntu Dan sedih. Sepanjang usia saya, tidak pernah saya sebuntu ini. Kerana ianya melibat...

Beyond Judgement ; The Power of Forgiveness as the ultimate Revenge

Let's be real. We are human. We make mistakes all the time. Sometimes we hurt someone, sometimes someone hurt us. And the cycle goes on and on and on. Let;'s discuss deeper.  Scenario : We bully someone because they make a mistake .  We try our hardest to shame them ( face shaming etc) as a punishment over the sin they've done. Without We Realizing, We Are Actually Taking Over God's Job . 1. Why does people judge so easily ? Human naturally form opinions, but rushing to judge without understanding leads misconception. Either the judement were made towards someone we knew or someone we just met or someone we bumped into at school,work,or wherever, should be kept in our mind only. There's no need to share it or voice it .  Put it in our mind that Allah is Al- Hakim. Only Allah have the right to judge . 2. The Hidden Burden Of Being Judgemental Realize it or not , judging others often reflects our own insecurities. We can be denial all we want but deep down we know rea...

Continuation Of Form 6 Orientation Week

 Hello everyone!!!!!  * clear throat * Now that almost a year has passed since my last post, here is the most recent update. I'm not a student in form 6 anymore. After two weeks of becoming a form 6 student, I received UPU offer. After giving it a lot of thought, I have decided to pursue UPU instead of staying in form 6. I would rather stay if you asked me, but what can I do?😭 Nevertheless, I still really miss everything about form 6. Alright! I HAVE TO MOVE ON. I never knew it was this hard to let go 😭😣 I'm now a Diploma Radiography student at UniSZA. Let me tell you something: I'm in my third semester at the moment. I had homesickness in both Sem 1 and Short Semester. What did I do? I sobbed through every single day. Things do get better, even a little bit, it is still an improvement. For next semester (4th semester), I will be in HTA for practical. Hopefully I manage to write more about it later. Studying is fine, everything is fine. But deep down, I don't kno...
