Semester IV: Reflection of the Dews

﷽

I wake up and stared at the ceiling for a while, and finally about 5 minutes managed to get myself out of bed, went straight to bathroom for wudu' (ablution).
A lot going through my mind.

• The unfinished 20++ articles from last night.
• The unfinished 3+ blog posts to be published.
• The 2-days untouchable Projek Nota
• The 2 days untouchable and un-reply D's email on guidelines for Projek Nota.
• Update on bills and November's rent.
• Return Oxford Emergency Handbook.
• Call Abah.
• Call Mummy.
• Call Angah.

and the list goes on and on.

The moment I turn on data, the whatsapps coming in beep beep. Honestly I feel like ignoring all those texts but I should not.
And there is an instagram PM from my little dearest N.

SHE FORWARD ME MAKE UP TUTORIAL.

Soon after I'm done with my morning routine, I watched the video duration of 15mins +. Not even half of the video, questions kept coming non-stop.

What is this for?
What is her motive?
Why I waste my 15 mins watching this?
Why did I at first, play on this video?
What the meaning of this make up tutorial for me?

And here's the highlighted part;

Why would I waste 30mins + (which I assume cause the girl in that video just showing a short version of her daily make up) putting make up on my face, when I can actually read the whole alMathurat for that period of time?

Why would I spent so much in the morning, knowing I need an extra time for clean up later in the afternoon for Zuhr prayer?

and,

Why should I put (literally quite thick) make up when I personally not fond of it? (Like for everyday)

Because I always believe,

" A beauty of a lady is not based on her face but rather her heart. "- MW

and beauty of the heart eventually reflected with her good character and attitude towards herself and others. 

Like the one the hadith reported by Sahih Bukhari;

The Prophet said, "A woman is married for four things, i.e., her wealth, her family status, her beauty and her religion. So you should marry the religious woman (otherwise) you will be a losers."

Why would Rasulullah SAW highlighted religious woman?

Because apparently,

Wealth can turn to nothing all of sudden. 
Family status can be revoked by the authorities for whatever reasons. 
Beauty fade by time, come on you are getting old by days (nobody get younger)

And religious women, have firm belief and gonna survive in any sort of struggles that Allah might decreed upon her (inshaAllah).
And religious women are not those who wears the long hijab only, they are ladies who believe in Allah, and practice Islamic way in every single aspect of her life as much as she could. Especially the crucial part of being a Muslimah is her faith onto this religion of Allah. This is only can be attained by learning AND understanding the deen.

At lot of us, not really understand the deen (which as well include me astaghfirullahaladzim, may Allah protect us and bless us with more knowledge and understanding on deen).

By practicing the real deen, she will have such a great character.

This is solely reminder from myself to myself, to be reminded that I should not be blinded by my nafs to get prettier by each day (obviously we are ladiesss). But instead to be such 'beautiful' lady, I should as well learning, understanding and practising the deen as much as possible.

May Allah bless me with beautiful heart,
So I could attend His beautiful Garden of Paradise.

p/s: I have no issues with those applying make up everyday cause I as well put some BB cushion on my face to avoid shiny oily face later in the afternoon plus lipbalm (cause I hate when my friends mentioned I looked like anaemic patient).

Like I mentioned, this is solely a reminder for myself which I think great to be shared with everyone.

Wallahualam.
