Subhanallah..Have you watch the above video?
These are amazing and brilliant effort from our brothers and sisters in New York City..And I'm pretty sure many other countries have followed the same foot steps as well. It is definitely giving positive impression towards Islam!
As you can see,spreading dakwah needs courage and motivation . It helps you sharpen your interpersonal skills as well especially when dealing with sensitive issues with regards to the non muslims. When I was in UK pursuing my degree, I find it easy and comfortable to practice Islamic teachings and approach people on Islamic issues.Came back to Malaysia,a muslim majority society, and ermmmm... it's a bit difficult here and there - pakai tudung labuh siki kena tegur,pakai stoking kena tegur,nak solat tak pakai kain sembahyang perempuan yang kaler putih2 tu pun kena tegur..nak sembahyang kat tepi jalan/atas rumput/etc i.e. selain rumah dan surau/masjid pun dipandang semacam,nak tegur pemerintah yang korup dan menindas rakyat???...haha,yang tu jawab sendiri...Nasib baik aku ni jenis muka tembok.Alhamdulillah,sekarang ni dah makin expert and konfiden untuk menjawab soalan-soalan cepumas tersebut.Outspoken gitu!
Berbaik Sangka dan Buruk Sangka
Ahh..really miss UK,and being involved again in such volunteering activities. Bila dah bekerja di syarikat swasta,berkahwin awal,dan ada anak ni,you really have to decide what are the most important thing in your life and which one you should prioritize first.Oh, not to mention,the financial stability!Susah okehhh....but that does't mean that I regret and discourage you to get married at a young age. InshaAllah,Allah will always show us the way to get our from any of the problem. Aku memang yakin 1000% tang tu...Aku percaya and redha dengan setiap ketentuan yang Allah telah beri padaku.

Have you heard this hadith?
Hadis Abu Hurairah r.a. katanya: Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: “Allah s.w.t. berfirman:
Aku adalah berdasarkan kepada sangkaan hamba-Ku terhadap-Ku. Aku bersamanya ketika dia mengingati-Ku. Apabila dia mengingatiKu dalam dirinya, nescaya aku juga akan mengingatinya dalam diri-Ku. Apabila dia mengingati-Ku dalam suatu kaum, nescaya Aku juga akan mengingatinya dalam suatu kaum yang lebih baik daripada mereka. Apabila dia mendekati-Ku dalam jarak sejengkal, nescaya Aku akan mendekatinya dengan jarak sehasta. Apabila dia mendekati-Ku sehasta, nescaya Aku akan mendekatinya dengan jarak sedepa. Apabila dia datang kepada-Ku dalam keadaan berjalan seperti biasa, nescaya Aku akan datang kepadanya dalam keadaan berlari-lari anak.” H.R. Abu Hurairah
Hadis ini memberikan motivasi kepada orang-orang beriman agar sentiasa berzikir mengingat Allah swt dalam situasi dan apa jua keadaan sekalipun, merasakan kehadiran Allah swt dalam setiap gerak dan diamnya, merasakan dekatnya Allah swt saat bersendiri dan ketika bersama orang banyak, merasakan Ma’iyyatullah (kebersamaan) dengan Allah swt ketika senang mahupun susah. Sehingga saat senang tidak lupa diri dan hilang control, dan ketika susah atau ditimpa musibah tidak merasa putus asa, kerana merasakan adanya Dia Yang Maha Berkuasa sebagai tempat bersandar dan mengadu keluh kesah. Hadis ini juga mengajarkan kepada orang-orang yang beriman bahawa Allah swt selalu membalas lebih dari apa yang dilakukan manusia yang selalu ingin dekat kepada-Nya dan yang merindukan keagungan-Nya. Semoga kita termasuk hamba-hamba-Nya yang sentiasa berzikir mengingatNya, ameen…
Kesimpulan
I don't want to live a lifeless life forever. Let's give meaning to our lives through sharing, giving and contributing.
And yes,keep praying dan berselawat pada Rasulullah SAW. Perform Dhuha at our workplace,inshaAllah pintu rezeki kita akan lebih luas terbuka and urusan kita lebih mudah untuk diselesaikan bilamana kita sering berzikir padaNya.
Allahualam.

Selingan: Poem dedicated to the best Daie of The World.Think this is a masterpiece by Rumi.
The greatest man to ever walk on the face of the Earth,
Who gave respects and love to all.
A beautiful personality,
Who raised high the status of women,children and even animals.
A man who showed mercy to all,
Such mercy,which knew no bounds.
A most humble person who forgave those who wronged him,
Taught people on how to live a life of simplicity and love.
A man who God Himself called "A mercy for the creation."
He took people out of ignorance and showed them the beauty of the light He bought with him.
Gentle in composure,merciful in characters,beautiful in manners,
elegant in speech,and most compassionate and forgiving.
He was affectionate towards the children and the weak,
Tolerant to those who oppressed him,
Generous and beneficent to those who poor and needy,
He was the Prophet Muhammad SAW (pbuh).
