Yesterday was surreal. Never did I ever dream of being part of the hosting team for Ustazah Yasmin Mogahed, the lady whose writings helped many of us return back to a beautiful path of seeking Truth. I was very nervous yesterday; had so many things in my head... registrations, ushers, accomodation for guests, transport, book sales, programmes, AV and the list goes on... Not my first time doing events but this time was so different. I felt very small within everything that was happening. I felt the magnificence and mercy of Allah when I reflect on the efforts and togetherness of my fellow volunteers. Modelling after Ustazah Yasmins quest in daawah, they all understood the true meaning of volunteerism and servanthood in Islam. They all knew that it was not a profit-generating event as the rental of Singapore Expo alone is a six-figure sum. Alhamdulillah, all of us benefitted from Ustazah Yasmins lecture. And I thank all for being kind to the pockets of imperfection from my end. Somehow, by the taufeeq of Allah, all of the pearls of wisdom we particularly noted yesterday are very timely and good for us. Here is my sharing. - Our worth is not measured by how we look in the eyes of the society. It is by how we are seen by Allah. - The fear we experience today is just a glimpse of the real fear in hell-fire. - The best of us are those who are best to our families. - When we read and internalise the Quran, we live our lives differently. It is a revolutionary transformation. - Suffering only comes when we are far away from Allah. - Believe that bad things do not happen to believers. Everything that happens to us is good for us. - The healing for fear is tawwakul. This means you have to have 100% trust in Allah. Once again, jazakAllah khayr everyone. Please have Ustazah Yasmin and our team in your dua...
