Nabil Al-Ajmy, 19.
I'm simple yet complex at the same time. This tumblog serves 3 purposes for me:
i) My Journal
ii) A platform to state my views on wordly matters
iii) To write about my faith and what I understand of it.
Thank you for visiting this tumblog. Feel free to ask me any questions about myself. Moreover, if you have any questions on Islam, don't be shy to ask. I will refer some videos or articles that will provide a better explanation to you as I fear I might be inaccurate and incomplete when explaining some matters.
May Allah guide and bless you [:
Any good outcome comes from Allah and Any bad outcome are the result of my mistakes. Peace! [:

Celluloid Heroes
Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 194, the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
God Save the Kinks
“Celluloid Heroes”
Everybody’s a dreamer and everybody’s a star,
And everybody’s in movies, it doesn’t matter who you are.
There are stars in every city,
In every house and on every street,
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Their names are written in concrete!
Don’t step on Greta Garbo as you walk down the Boulevard,
She looks so weak and fragile that’s why she tried to be so hard
But they turned her into a princess
And they sat her on a throne,
But she turned her back on stardom,
Because she wanted to be alone.
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that you’ve hardly even heard of,
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
Rudolph Valentino, looks very much alive,
And he looks up ladies’ dresses as they sadly pass him by.
Avoid stepping on Bela Lugosi
‘Cos he’s liable to turn and bite,
But stand close by Bette Davis
Because hers was such a lonely life.
If you covered him with garbage,
George Sanders would still have style,
And if you stamped on Mickey Rooney
He would still turn round and smile,
But please don’t tread on dearest Marilyn
‘Cos she’s not very tough,
She should have been made of iron or steel,
But she was only made of flesh and blood.
You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that you’ve hardly even heard of.
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
Everybody’s a dreamer and everybody’s a star
And everybody’s in show biz, it doesn’t matter who you are.
And those who are successful,
Be always on your guard,
Success walks hand in hand with failure
Along Hollywood Boulevard.
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die.
You can see all the stars as you walk along Hollywood Boulevard,
Some that you recognise, some that you’ve hardly even heard of,
People who worked and suffered and struggled for fame,
Some who succeeded and some who suffered in vain.
Oh celluloid heroes never feel any pain
Oh celluloid heroes never really die.
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show,
A fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes,
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
And celluloid heroes never really die.
A good reminder people!!
Simply Hasanah: My Mission in Life
A good reminder by Dr Yahya al-Yahya. It is impossible to be perfect but we can try to be near perfection. InshaAllah. Let us all strive to become better Muslims!
Instead of living in hopes and fantasies, it is better that you limit your mission and your hopes in this life, write them with your…

to the edge of the sky: Dua and intention for studying
The Messenger, upon him be peace, said, actions are but by intentions and everyone will be rewarded according to what they intend.’ For this reason, one’s intention in studying is very important. Real success in one’s studies will be dependent on one’s intention as the messenger said, ‘everyone will be rewarded according to what they intend.’ One can be rewarded for secular studies by having a noble intention. The value of studying the religious sciences is raised by the quality of the intention. For this reason, Imam al-Haddâd encouraged his students to read the following intention
Al-hamdu_llilahi rabb_il_’âlamîn wa sallahu ‘ala saydinâ Muhamamdin wa ‘alâ âlihi wa sahbihi wa sallam.
Nawaytu al-ta’alluma wa talîma wat_tadhakkara wa-tadhkîr wa_ na’fa’ wa_l_’intifâ’ wal-ifâdah wa’l_istifâdah wa_l-hath ‘ala_tamassuki bi kitâbillahi wa sunnati_rusûlihi wa_du’â il_al-hudâ wa_dalâlata ‘ala_l_khayri wabtighâha waj_hillâhi wa mardâtihi wa qurbihi wa thawâbihi subhânahu wa ta’âlaAll praise to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. And salutations and greetings upon our master Muhammad and upon his family and companions.
I intend to study and teach, take and give a reminder, take and give benefit, take and give advantage, to encourage the holding fast to the book of Allah and the way of his messenger, and calling to guidance and directing towards good hoping for the countenance of Allah and His pleasure, proximity and reward, transcendent is He.Among the supplications that we have been taught to improve our understanding and aid us in our study is:
Ya Fattâh, ya ‘Alîm iftah lanâ fathan qarîban
O Opener, O knowledgeable One, open up for us an opening soon.
May Allah grant us all success, âmîn.

Jika namamu yang ditulis di Luh Mahfuz untuk diriku, nescaya rasa cinta itu akan Allah tanamkan dalam diri kita berdua. Tugas pertamaku bukan mencari dirimu tetapi mensolehahkan diriku yang hina ini. Sukar untuk mencari soleh dirimu andai solehahku tidak setanding dengan kesolehanmu. Sejauh mana pun kita kini, andai berjodohan kita akan bertemu jua. =)
H: Why I Want To Get Married
because I want my eyes to see someone special, someone halal, knowing that she is my gift from Allah.
because I want someone who loves Allah and loves me because she loves Allah.
because I want somebody to share my happiness and praise Allah with me, someone to cry my tears with me and make du’a with me and someone to love and love Allah with me.
because I want to have children of my own to love and care and share with a gift from Allah.
because I want to share Allah’s beautiful creations and praise His name with someone who Allah has fated to be with me since I was born.because verily, with a halal partner, my life and everything I do with my wife will be halal in the eyes of Allah.
because I am a gift from Allah to someone, and I want to let her feel Allah’s love through me.
-Muhammad Khairy Farhan

Muslim students from a Singapore Junior College performing obligatory prayers. I admire their bravery and courage to uphold the 2nd pillar of Islam even though Secularist schools in Singapore forbids anyone to perform prayers even if they do it discretely. I hope this would act as an inspiration to Muslim students from my college to still perform their salah even if any authority forbids them to do so. As long as there is a place spacious enough and it does not provide hindrance and inconvenience to Non-Muslims, it should not be an excuse for us to skip our prayers. The students above have displayed the value - “Don’t fear the creation, fear the Creator.” and May Allah bless them and May they continue to inspire Muslims who are studying in schools that forbids performing prayers even in private.
Abu Huraira (r.a) narrates that once Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) asked his companions, “Do you think that dirt can remain on a person bathing five times a day in a brook running in front of his door?” ”No”, replied the companions, ”No dirt can remain on his body.” Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) remarked: ”So, exactly similar is the effect of salat offered five times a day. With the grace of Allah, it washes away all the sins”.(Bukhari, Muslim)”Salat is a pillar of the religion (Islam). He who establishes it, establishes religion; and he who destroys it, destroys religion.” [Tabrani]
Nonetheless, I feel other religious groups should not let Secularist-hardliners of their school prevent them from practicing their religion. Singapore is a diversed country. Every Individual should not be afraid to practice their religion. Look at the positive note, it can promote further understanding between religious groups. Not only that, being aware of a religion’s practices will lead to Singaporeans appreciating the differences that exist among each other and embracing it. That is the key to Racial and Religious Harmony. Besides, I don’t think practicing religion can threaten the social fabric because everyday we re-new our promise don’t we? “Pledge ourselves as one united people. Regardless of Race, Language or RELIGION.” Just an opinion.
SubhanAllah!

Seandainya telah Engkau catatkan dia tercipta buatku, satukanlah hatinya dengan hatiku, Ya Allah. Tetapi ya Allah, seandainya telah Engkau takdirkan dia bukan milikku, bawalah ia jauh dari pandanganku, luputkanlah ia dari ingatanku, dan peliharalah aku dari kekecewaan..
