Ended January by treating family to a nice meal and borrowing two books from the library. The books are Hearts that Remember by Sa’diyya Nesar and Fasting Like a Girl by Dr. Mindy Pelz. Started February with a small adventure, heading to Publika to find some traditional kueh. The kueh is from Baitun Classic.

As we enter the month of Sha’ban, I pray that it brings peace and blessings to me, my family, and everyone. May Allah protect us.

Dear Zafira,
In this journey of life, you encounter moments where you falter. You make mistakes, sometimes repeatedly.
I hope you’ll always find the strength to get back up and seek Allah’s help. May Allah continue to guide you and forgive your shortcomings.

I see silence as a conscious choice to pause, reflect, and listen.

I’m a person with many mistakes and I don’t say this with self-pity.
My mistakes – my responsibilities.

I can’t ignore that some individuals are capable of pure evil, and seem to only seek harm.
Circumstances or experiences can lead anyone, including me, to change in ways we never expect.
Wahai Tuhan Yang Maha Tinggi Maha Bijaksana, Engkau kurniakanlah aku dan keluargaku hikmah serta masukkanlah kami ke dalam golongan orang-orang yang soleh.

Today marks the 1st of Rajab 1446H, and I feel a mix of sadness and happiness. It reminds me of how fleeting time is and the responsibility to prepare spiritually for Ramadan.
This year, I also say goodbye to 2024 – a year filled with challenges. Despite these, I hope they have strengthened me and shaped me for the better.
Rajab offers hope and renewal – a time to realign my focus. I pray Allah eases my and my family’s affairs and allows me and my family to witness Ramadan.

Sure, there are moments when I wonder what it would be like to reach for more.
