hadi's new groove

My first-born. i think before the end of the year, he'll be taller than me.

Yesterday was his birthday.
Today, he got a new phone.. his new groove.


In his golf attire.

Seems like just yesterday (balaghah.. takdelah like yesterday sangat), that he was featured in a local magazine - this was in the year 2000.

My beloved son,

You can do whatever you like, as long as it's not contradicting your religion. Remember i told you, you can succeed in what you love, like golf - but then use that opportunity, to be the khalifah of Allah SWT. Remain humble, and don't forget your obligations. Be a good Muslim example. Tak guna a Muslim succeeds and become famous, only to stain the image of Islam - nau'zubillah.

And in anything that you do, remember, Allah SWT determines the outcome. So pray to Him and ask for His assistance and guidance, always.

Don't leave your 5 daily obligatory prayers. They will help you constantly remember Allah SWT, and help deter you from maksiat, and in it you constantly seek forgiveness and guidance from Allah SWT.

The world we live in, is only a temporary place. Aim high in this world, and aim also for the Hereafter. And ask Allah SWT, the best for both worlds.

May we all, be together in this world, and in the Hereafter, in Jannah. Ameen.
