A Candle Light

All praise to Allah for all the miracles bestowed upon my wedding. It was such a dream that I couldn't believe myself returned home with the man I love after the solemnization day. It was Friday, the all-known blessing day, and I waved him from a far when he was approaching me after Friday jummuah prayer. Am I dreaming or what?  Yet, months earlier, the rocky road was there. Afterall, it worth the loved one.  Crossing miles away from Europe to my parent's house during this pandemic, not to forget the border strict rule, won't question myself on how being assured he is with me. One thing we do both agree, "I feel it's right."  Years before this, I was terrified by many facts about marriage life that I have seen before. Especially, about how to find the right one. One thing that I always heard that, "Just marry the righteous one. Love can be developed later on." I personally always get annoyed by this fact. It might work for some couples but I felt lik

 A little self reward on weekend after a long working days, strolling around Omotesando (表参道) would be refreshing. It is quite difficult to find a proper place to enjoy your coffee from a higher place with a lively vibrant sense. Shibuya must be too crowded and quite noisy, but I found a cozy place along Omotesando street. Before jumping to cafe review, let's take a moment enjoying surrounding.  Right at the end of the crossing, you can find Island Vintage Coffee across the bridge where you could see Omotesando Hills from a far. Take a peak at the menu on the ground floor then go up to the second floor for menu order.  It's December, Christmas Tree 🎄 vibe Welcome!  Average price is quite expensive compared to common  coffee shop. Yeah, that's definitely Omotesando. Order the coffee here Finally, set the seat and ready to create something. I chose Mauna Kea Ice Coffee.  I know it's winter but I'm curious to try new offer. Just a rough look for the menu price range h

There is always the reason behind anything that happens in this life that many of them God does not tell us why. He is the All-Knowing.  Some people get married late and some others earlier. Some people get divorced and some other loose their loved one as death separates them. Some people live wealthy but later the unexpected things happens to take all away, and some other people live like average people but happily long live in a simplicity.  Many people think marriage is like a life-change button for a woman to stop juggling daily office work life, to stay home all-day, and happily blessed with the loved-man shared monthly money. However, the truth of life is not always as simple as that. No one knows what the future holds. Still, the woman need to prepare herself when the life gets tough. Surely, we can ask Allah for anything, but life is a combination of struggles and hopes. If we don't get prepared and not use the moment wisely to achieve something, really we are a looser. All

During Ramadhan, let's maximize our time to supplicate to Allah SWT. Surely often we do pray at any condition, either mostly after prayer or during free-time. Recently I have been thinking of rectifying the way of supplication to Allah to obtain a more personal connection with Allah and to see the essentials of du'a from a good perspective.  First of all, let's rectify our perspective on performing du'a. We often consider performing du'a as the main way to get what we want in life. Rather, performing dua is a way to please Allah. It is suggested to have a firm belief that our du'a will be accepted by Allah. Regarding what kind of blessing descended by Allah later is all beyond Allah's Mercy and Will. We may not receive what we ask for, but surely insya Allah would be better than that.  Following are groups of du'a which were raised by many pious men and women throughout Islamic history and some suggested du'a to supplicate.  Taraweeh prayer at T
