Assalamualaikum...

Alhamdulillah, the almighty has given me the opportunity for me to express my thoughts up till now.

Indeed, I've never had the idea, even in a little corner of my heart to write such a blog or anything related to Islam. Alhamdulillah, Allah has made me realise of many factors; personally and also through other people.

There was a great achievement that Allah gave me thus opened my mind towards many concepts of this life in world and thereafter. It was a something I thought impossible and eventually made possible by the almighty. It was my first navigation exercise (NAVEX) flight, destination Malacca. Allah may give me any problems at any moment of that 1hr 30mins flight, but he made me realise of his powers. MashaAllah. Among the incidents were the visibility at Mantin where are the two dangerous hills and also the condition in Malacca airport. Alhamdulillah, the flight was smooth. The next day, I realised everything during my Friday prayers, I looked at the sky and all I said was MashaAllah.

From that day onwards, I realised that its was an eye-opener for me and I must take this event seriously and gain the hidden message through proper reflections. One of the main message that I affirmed to myself was, InsyaAllah from this day onwards I shall NEVER miss any of my prayers. Allah took care of me on each minute of the flight and why can't I obey to his rules for just less than 10 mins for five times a day?!

Another reason why I'm starting this new effort is due to a sad-funny incident where I had to eat a sea-snail and I just ate it based on what my friend (another Muslim) said. But she was curious too, but she just ate it. Due to some factors I had to eat the snail too. But I felt very bad and embarrassed to myself when I'm back home. I'm a Muslim and I MUST know the Islamic rulings on foods in my fingertips; how could this happen? Eating a snail without knowing whether its halal or not?! That night, I sat for a long time and Alhamdulillah, I found a JAKIM website which states that it is halal. But still, my brain asking the reason and the idea behind this matter, yet I've no idea. The fact is I myself do not fully understand the concepts of Islamic rulings on various matters then (1) how can I call myself as a Muslim? (2) how can I further promote Islam to non-Muslims? OMG!

Hence, I feel that I shall record all my reflections and thoughts somewhere accessible for me and why not other people also benefit from it? Now, that's the reason why I'm writing here. This is actually my personal Islamic reflection diary and I'm hoping that what I write also benefits my dear Muslim or non-Muslim brothers and sisters out there.

Before I start sharing anything, the following are some DISCLAIMER NOTES:
1. I have VERY little knowledge on Islam and any other religious matters: What I write could be wrong PLEASE DO CORRECT ME and SHARE your views as well.

2. I have poor or just average command of English: My messages could be ambiguous.

3. Whatever I write here, DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH as well.

So, InsyaAllah I hope this will be a good start for me and anybody who Allah will redirect to here. May Allah always show us the right path, Ameen.

Wassalam.
