2020 is a WRAP!

2020 was a tough one for me. Emotionally and mentally. 

My heart was broken. My spirit was at its lowest. My Iman was all over the place. I simply hate myself. 

I really thought that was it for me. 

Until I stumbled upon the joy of reading again. And learning. Learning about Islam. The religion that I was born into. And realizing how little I know about my religion. Oh, how many blessings that Allah has given me but instead the only thing that I focused was on what was not given to me (yet). SubhanAllah...

"And do not lose hope in the mercy of Allah, for no one loses hope in 

Allah’s mercy except those with no faith."

Quran 12:87

Looking back at the year 2020, mashaAllah, I received so many things from Allah. I secured a stable job with stable income. I was able to be with my family during this pandemic situation. I was able to give to others in this difficult year. 

It is all about counting your blessings. Be grateful with everything that you have, that you experienced. Only then we will be able to accept everything much better. 

"Tidak ada satupun makhluk bergerak (bernyawa) di bumi ini; melainkan semuanya dijamin rezeki oleh Allah S.W.T."

Quran 11:6

I used to set very specific goals for the new year. Nak kurus, Nak simpan duit RM5, Nak beli rumah, Nak itu ini.. But now, my only goal in 2021 is to live a simple happy life & be a better servant of Allah. May Allah ease.

2020 have made me strong. I am ready to face the new year.

I can feel it deep in my heart. 2021 is going to be a great year!
