Aurora and the Snow

Blow blow 

Ashing flames say 

Fading is the glow 

Yet may the warmth stay.

Nana  |Rena, Norway | 241216

Thank you Allah for sending me those beautiful souls as company.

And those lovely auroras and breathtaking snowy peaks of mountains.
How can I not love the train ride?
And how can I not fall in love with You over and over again.

Next stop.
Another "aurora"
:)

Aleppo

Mendengarkan apa yang terjadi di Aleppo membuatkan diri ini rasa malu.
Malu dengan diri yang kadang merungut dengan masalah.
Mujahadah belum bermula, semangat dah patah dengan madah tentang potensi padah.
Seksaan kakak2 abang2 di sana tak terbanding.

Risau mereka risau tentang hidup dan mati. Malah bukan nyawa sendiri sahaja. It's the lives of their wives and kids too. Risau aku, tak lebih daripada masalah diri sendiri yang kebanyakannya akibat perbuatan sendiri atau bila diri berfikiran negatif.

Lapar mereka lapar lantaran memang tiada dapatan makanan, cari-cari pun tak jumpa. atau cari makanan untuk sambung nyawa bermakna mendedah risiko hilang nyawa di hujung peluru. Lapar aku malas nak masak atau malas membeli groceries.

Geram dengan diri sendiri. Why do you have to live a self-centred life.
Aleppo adalah satu panggilan.
Sama ada untuk engkau membantu dalam laku, tutur, dan mahu.
Paling cikai, untuk engkau berhenti rasa masalah engkau paling mega.

Argh.
Stop being selfish.

and Aleppo.
Yang butuh itu sebenarnya aku.
Jiwa kosong tak macam kalian.

Won't stop running

I can do this
I can do this
I can do this.

Hey girl, you can do this.

The Date and the Delay

What might work to refresh a worn-out heart is to hear about the sahabah.
In the War of Badr, a sahabah (Umayr bin Al-Humam) was about to eat a date. Upon hearing about the paradise, he did not continue eating the date and quickly jumped into the battlefield. Sahabah, they are scared to even let a small date delay their journey to Allah and His paradise.

And dear girl, just how many dates you are having?
