monday thoughts

"Assalamualaikum Ustazah"
ok, not the first time i've been called ustazah. initially i thought ustazah is more of a female teacher who teaches Islamic Teachings. its not lorz..its teacher. ahaha!
aniwaes awat la panggil saya teacher ek. im far from that.

ok rites, the abovementioned wasnt my intended topic.
i wana talk about defining one as religious.
its difficult for me to define & personally i believe it takes more than juz a cert and appropriate manners (towards people) to define as religious.
its not defined by fulfilling 5 obligatory prayers. Prayers makes us muslim not religious (cited from a tweet). true enough.
One donning on hijab, is not necessarily someone who is religious as well. For a fact, im not even near that. i dun even noe if the way i don on it meets his standard. the obligatory prayers, I have difficult waking up for Subuh esp on weekends. I have difficulty concerntrating. Tajwid..not flawless i must say. Meanings of the recitation..im trying my best to recall each meaning during each recitation.
All I can say is, im trying to be a better muslim. not the best but just better.
I do get caught up with duniawi stuff. But alhamdullilah, there are frens who remind me. Like seriously, friends are important! they are the people who define you. u cant choose yr family but u can choose your frens.

For each effort that we make, may He reward us with his bountiful rewards.
For each mistake we make, may He guide us back to the guided road. May He forgive us.

Come to tink of it, did i really try my best to be better?? hmmm.....
