اللّهُ وَلِيُّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ يُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّوُرِ وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُمُ الطَّاغُوتُ

يُخْرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ النُّورِ إِلَى الظُّلُمَاتِ أُوْلَـئِكَ أَصْحَابُ النَّارِ هُمْ فِيهَا خَالِدُونَ

"Allah is the Protector of those who have faith: from the depths of darkness He will lead them forth into light. Of those who reject faith the patrons are the evil ones: from light they will lead them forth into the depths of darkness. They will be companions of the fire, to dwell therein (For ever). "

Bath : In front of a church where William of Orange once received treatment, for leprosy if I'm not mistaken

وَمَا ذَرَأَ لَكُمْ فِي الأَرْضِ مُخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَانُهُ إِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ لآيَةً لِّقَوْمٍ يَذَّكَّرُونَ

"And the things on this earth which He has multiplied in varying colours (and qualities): verily in this is a sign for men who celebrate the praises of Allah (in gratitude). "

An-Nahl (The Bee) : 13

Ayatul Makkiah

More yapping...

If there's anything that I would sincerely regret in life so far, it would be my failure as a brother; big brother. I might have been a better one lately (i.e. the past 5 years or so..) but before that; boy was I crappy or what..

Come to think of it, I was quite young back then. Since I only managed to grasp the concept of responsibility by 16, errmm, probably boys would be boys. Blame me thou shall not o brother of mine =)

Nevertheless, I must admit that I was as good an elder brother as... duh, can't even find a suitable phrase to implicitly define myself as a brother.

Hopefully for the years to come (insha Allah) I can repay all my debts to you for my shoddy brother-ship (brotherhood?).

Viva the Halim Bros...cya in Europe in 5 years time (or less) insha Allah...

Leaving... again...

I shall be leaving... again.. Leaving my love ones.. mom and dad namely... You have made my three months stay in Malaysia a particularly memorable one. Filled with so much attention... Filled with love and passion; so much so that no humanly love (apart from ar-Rasul S.A.W) can ever replace the love that you both have planted in my sin-filled heart.

May Allah S.W.T.'s blessings always be with you. I will once again venture into an unknown fate, nevertheless a boulevard towards success, here and hereafter. My prayers shall always be with you, knowing the same you both will do. And love for thou shan't I forget, let far we be, let seperated by the seven seas. Insha Allah, third reason for all I do shall you be, with Allah and his Rasul S.A.W. be ahead of thou.

Love,

This son of yours =)

Reborn: Hoping this one would last longer...

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh...

Ol' geezer I'm not, young I'm still, yet consistency is a subject I'm bad at... may Allah give me strength to make this one counts... may the virtue of istiqamah be with me and ya'll...
