Is this what passion feels like?

When you run on a 3 hours worth of rest but manage to keep your sanity and actually feel warm and happy doing what you do?

It’s only the first week of classes, but I can’t get enough of my students. I might complain (oops) but every interaction makes me motivated to do what I do. Alhamdulillah. My body finally gave in as I fight off this flu. Indication to rest and recover. Will need to increase not only the stamina but also immunity system. InshaAllah.

Anyway, I apologise to myself for writing in today’s entry at such ungodly hours. It’s 1am and someone just woke up from a wonderful nap. Woke up to the numbness of caring too much and joy, upon receiving news that Aisyah and Raudhah, my very very close sahabats back in Irsyad, are finally flying back home in time for Zulaikha’s nikah this weekend. Ya Allah, sebak sangat sangat. I’ve missed them soooooooooo much. I won’t miss this for the world. May Allah ease our affairs!

To a better week. InshaAllah.

Ayat of The Day

وَقَضَىٰ رَبُّكَ أَلَّا تَعْبُدُوا إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَبِالْوَالِدَيْنِ إِحْسَانًا ۚ إِمَّا يَبْلُغَنَّ عِندَكَ الْكِبَرَ أَحَدُهُمَا أَوْ كِلَاهُمَا فَلَا تَقُل لَّهُمَا أُفٍّ وَلَا تَنْهَرْهُمَا وَقُل لَّهُمَا قَوْلًا كَرِيمًا
And your Lord has decreed that you not worship except Him, and to parents, good treatment. Whether one or both of them reach old age [while] with you, say not to them [so much as], “uff,” and do not repel them but speak to them a noble word.

17:23

Constantly amazed at how important our parents are. To the point that it is emphasized after obeying Allah. Ya Allah, help us be better at this.
