salamlest we forget the meaning of this significant day in the islamic calendar.
15 of syaaban, otherwise known as nisfu syaaban by the believers.
Allah has promised that every living things will receive their fair trials in the day of judgement.
when everything is left to the book of deeds and the wisdom of the Almighty Allah.
this book is changed every year and it is good that we observe our deeds so that only good things are written by the malaikat who keeps vigil by our side.
as such, being human, we are not far from committing mistakes and forgetting the amanah given to us by Allah, which is to obey and worship HIM at all cost.
thus, these mistakes are duly recorded and without repentance and regrets they will stay in it till the day of judgement. nauzubillahiminzalik.
the significance of nisfu syaaban is that, this is the day that this book is raised to the heavens to be kept with all the other books of the years that we have lived on this earth. Alhamdulillah, many muslims prepared themselves during the final pages of this book.
the coming of nisfu syaaban, symbolises new beginnings, new vision, and aims.
it is also time to wipe out unnecessary distractions that have kept us from our ibadah in the past.
it is time to renew our vows in worshipping Allah and time to strengthen our faith.
InsyaAllah, may we all be blessed and live in harmony in Islam.
although there are times when you get hurt by the one you loved, when you feel low, when you are left with unanswered questions, there is always Allah by your side. do not despair when you have no control over the affection of others. do not let hatred live in your heart when people hate you. let it be.
this is only to remind myself that no love is greater than the love for Allah. people can love you and leave you and hurt you. obviously, the wheels of life will turn and their time will come. soon if not later.
may Allah gives us strength. Amin.
