Hearts bonded; with the grace of the Almighty

Tranquility.. felt in the midst of serene surroundings and amicable friends.

Last weekend, under the ambiguous watchful eyes of the rustling trees and the cool melody of the flowing stream of Sungai Tekala, 30 souls from two very different academic institution and various fields were brought together to delight in the magnificient beauty of God's creation.

Ta'aruf session

Islam is the way of life. A theme that brings with it such a deeply profound meaning, yet can only be comprehended by those whose heart is opened to see beyond what can only be accepted by the logical mind.

Ensembling our tent with my groupmates

The silent strong pact that was made between hearts and souls can only be aprised by those engaged in the circle itself.

A picture paints a thousand words, they say. May the pictures above and below paint what is indescribable even by a million words. This blogger is penning off for now. Have a good day readers!

Jungle trekking: going up!

Jungle trekking: going down...

Left: This blogger with the son of a senior naqibah (leader). She's doing her Masters. Despite working, busy with studies and being married with a kid, she still allocates time to be in the company of people that reminds her of the Oft-loving and Most Merciful. Bestowed me with a new perspective in life, I must say. =)













Right: Meals on a tray in accordance with the sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h.)




With humbleness, we prostrate before You. Grant us calmness in calamity. Joy behind troubles.
Hope above despair. Amin.













The strongest bond of faith is when we meet, we get to know,
we love and we depart... because of Allah.
Kekalkan kemesraan antara hati-hati ini, Ya Allah.
