A Journey Beyond The Logical Mind

Salam to all.

This new song by David Archie and Miley Cyrus is really really sweet!


When I saw you over there
I didn’t mean to stare
But my mind was everywhere
I wanna know you

Gonna guess that you’re the kind
To say what’s on your mind
But you listen when
I have something to show you

There’s a mark above your eye
You got it in July
You’re fighting for your sister’s reputation

You remember people’s names
And Valentine's are lame
So I bring you flowers just for no occasion

I wanna know you
I wanna go there where you go
I wanna find out what you know
And maybe someday down the road
Sit back and say to myself
Yeah, I thought so

You smile and never shout

Salam to all.

Sometimes, I just hate the fact that I'm a teenager. Normal teenager. Normal, often-stupid teenager. Normal, often-stupid teenager who always repeat the same mistake again and again, fall into the same trap again and again. Urghhhhh! I just hate the word 'teenager' and 'remaja' and other words of the same meaning.

Can't I just be a kid? I feel smarter that way.

Okay, okay, I'm grateful.

Salam to all.
I got this from my friend (Qurratul Ain)'s blog.

The Five Levels of Prayer

Ibn al-Qayyim writes in his book al-Wabil al-Sayyib:"When it comes to prayer, people are of five levels:

* The first is the level of the one who wrongs himself and is negligent. He does not do wudu properly, or pray at the right time or make sure he does all the necessary parts of prayer.

* The second is one who observes the outward essentials of prayer, prays on time and does wudu, but he has lost the battle against his own self and is overwhelmed with waswaas (insinuations).

* The third is one who observes the outward essentials of prayer, prays on time and does wudu, and also strives against his own self and against waswaas, but he is preoccupied with his struggle against his enemy (Shaytan), lest he steal from his prayer, so he is engaged in salah and jihad at the same time.

* The fourth is one who when he stands up to pray, he fulfils all the requirements of the prayer, and his heart is fully focused and alert lest he omit anything, and his concern is to do the prayer properly and perfectly. His heart is deeply immersed in his prayer and worship of his Lord.

* The fifth is one who does all of that, but he takes his heart and places it before his Lord, looking at his Lord with his heart and focusing on Him, filled with love and adoration, as if he is actually seeing Him. That waswaas and those thoughts diminish, and the barriers between him and his Lord are lifted. The difference between the prayer of this person and the prayer of anyone is else is greater than the difference between heaven and earth. When this person prays, he is preoccupied with his Lord and content with Him.


The first type is punishable;
the second is accountable;
the third is striving so he is not counted as a sinner;
the fourth is rewarded and
the fifth is drawn close to his Lord, because he is one of those for whom prayer is a source of joy.

Whoever finds their joy in prayer in this life, will find their joy in being close to Allah in the Hereafter, and will also find his joy in Allah in this world. Whoever finds his joy in Allah will be content with everything, and whoever does not find his joy in Allah, will be destroyed by his feelings of grief and regret for worldly matters."
