the great form of mastery is those who master themselves.

i cant describe how thankful i am to be able to b part of Being Me. it's an all-girl event! all the ladies were so pretty and glamorous. the speakers were extraordinary! they inspired me so much to be someone better, to be an inspiration. im dying to write EVERYTHING that i've heard from the conf but u know, that's kindda impossible. so let me share some of the quotes :)
these are the quotes that catches me from sis Yasmen Mogahed,
"When you let other than ALLAH defines ur SUCCESS or FAILURE, then u r slowly falling into a SILENT, yet DESTRUCTIVE form of SLAVERY."
"No PRINCE CHARMING can COMPLETES u, and no KNIGHT can save u. only Allah can. A man is your COMPANION not ur SAVIOUR"
"LOVE is like a LAWSUIT, u need EVIDENCE to prove it. and LOVE is the THING that decides whether SERVING becomes an HONOUR or BURDEN. if u think following Allah's orders such as not covering ur aurat, drinks alcohol, smokes, DATING and illegal intercourse as a BURDEN, u should starts asking ur HEART, how much u LOVE ur CREATOR"
These words are from Sheikh Yahya,
Rasulullah once said,
"your CLOTHES can sometimes REFLECT a HIGHER FAITH compared to what ur HEART has. so asks Allah to constantly REVITALIZE it"
"If you found an ENEMY, shower them with your LOVE for ALLAH. InsyaAllah u gonna make your enemy ur BEST FRIEND. after all, it's written in the Quran"
"As a woman, ur HEART does breaks. Sometimes it will be BROKEN by those who DO NOT LOVES ALLAH or THOSE WHO DO NOT WORRIES ABOUT ALLAH. then u should BLAME URSELF. It's ur own MISTAKE for giving ur HEART to those people."
Next speaker is sis Meryam,
She quoted from Sheikh Jalaluddin,
"Dont be CONTENT with the STORY of those before us, but GO OUT and make ur own STORY"
Dr Fadila Grine,
"Allah CREATED us, but we MADE who we are. we MADE the HISTORY written about us"
"HIJAB is not made to HIDE us, but to HIGHLIGHT our CHARACTER n PERSONALITY"
the last speaker is sis Rayya. but her story... i have no idea to put them into words. xpela, mana tawu ade rezki kite berjumpa face-to-face, insyaAllah i'll share. it's so inspiring, TRUST ME. it makes me realise, how lucky i am to have ISLAM with me. how proud i should be to be known as a MUSLIM! Alhamdulillah.
anyway, of course i wasnt alone for the event. bwk kekasih sejati :P (dont twist it into me being lesbian ke ape ok.)
i should thank the person who helped me to buy the tickets. thank u. but most of all, i THANKED ALLAH for giving the chance of being there. :)
and oh, before i go, let me share something,
"as time passed, nothing else matters.
what matters now is....Not what you HAVE,but what you GAVE.Not ur SUCCESS,but your SIGNIFICANCE.Not what u LEARNT,but what u have TAUGHT.Not ur MEMORIES,but the MEMORIES OF U to the one u LOVE"
dear sisters, be significance, INSPIRE others, AMAZE Allah :)
