Music

I bet everybody likes music as I do. See how's the self-image of each person by guessing and judging his/her music they like. Kinda prestige for some people. And very powerful. Yet for me, it's current pictures of myself. Reflection of my gloominess, my roaring laughter, even at my vanity. Carnival by Adhitia Sofyan. I don't know where I should put this song into any of them I've mentioned before. I just know by far, that this song, umm..

Carnival - Adhitia Sofyan

I do remember your name
We met at the carnival
You said till we meet again
I guess here we are now

You said till we meet again
I guess here we are now
And I don’t even see
Why we can’t stay a while
No we should not be afraid
Of going through the silly things
It might just uncover a path
To a similarity
No I don’t even see
Why we can’t stay this time
Till grass on the hills getting longer
They’re waving at us to be seen
That face on the moon’s getting brighter
But he’s going down anytime
Nobody knows what’s tomorrow
It might brings us to our last
Do you remember the time
When they were the simple things
Where I just looked in to your eyes
Then we’ll be connected
Still I don’t even see
Why we can’t stay this time
So let me remember the shape of the evening
Cause when the day’s over who knows when I’ll see you again
I do remember your name
We stayed at the carnival this time


Well, it's been a hard time for me. And still. Cause no one knows how wide a woman's heart is
..



much love,
Niken

Confession

I am happy with my life now. Please do not come up. Promise me you won't disrupt a sleeping lion. I'm begging you,
my obsession.



p.s: I hope this little plea won't end in smoke. Amin.

Why Should A Muslim Woman Wear The Hijab?

1.You please Allah. You are obeying the commands of your Lord when you wear the hijaab and you can expect great rewards in return.

2.It is Allah’s protection of your natural beauty. You are too precious to be ‘on display’ for each man to see.

3.It is Allah’s preservation of your chastity.

4.Allah purifies your heart and mind through the hijaab.

5.Allah beautifies your inner and outer countenance with hijaab. Outwardly your hijaab reflects innocence, purity, modesty, shyness, serenity, contentment and obedience to your Lord. Inwardly you cultivate the same.

6.Allah defines your femininity through the hijaab. You are a woman who respects her womanhood. Allah wants you to be respected by others, and for you to respect yourself.

7.Allah raises your dignity through the hijaab. When a strange man looks at you, he respects you because he sees that you respect yourself.

8.Allah protects your honour 100% through your hijaab. Men do not gaze at you in a sensual way, they do not approach you in a sensual way, and neither do they speak to you in a sensual way. Rather, a man holds you in high esteem and that is just by one glance at you!

9.Allah gives you nobility through the hijaab. You are noble not degraded because you covered not naked.

10.Allah demonstrates your equality as a Muslim woman through the hijaab. Your Lord bestows upon you equal worth as your male counterpart, and gives you a host of beautiful rights and liberties. You express your acceptance of these unique rights by putting on the hijaab.

11.Allah defines your role as a Muslim woman through the hijaab. You are a someone with important duties. You are a reflection of a woman of action not idle pursuits. You display your sense of direction and purpose through your hijaab. You are someone that people take seriously.

12.Allah expresses your independence through the hijaab. You are stating clearly that you are an obedient servant of the Greatest Master. You will obey no one else and follow no other way. You are not a slave to any man, nor a slave to any nation. You are free and independent from all man-made systems.

13.Allah gives you the freedom of movement and expression through the hijaab. You are able to move about and communicate without fear of harassment. Your hijaab gives you a unique confidence.

14.Allah wants others to treat you – a Muslim woman - with kindness. And the hijaab brings about the best treatment of men towards you.

15.Allah wants your beauty to be preserved and saved for just one man to enjoy – your husband.

16.Allah helps you to enjoy a successful marriage through wearing hijaab. Because you reserve your beauty for one man alone, your husband’s love for you increases, he cherishes you more, he respects you more and he honours you more. So your hijaab contributes to a successful and lasting marriage relationship.

17.Allah brings about peace and stability in the society through the hijaab! Yes this is true! Men do not cause corruption by forming illegal relationships because you - the Muslim woman - calm their passions. When a man looks at you, he feels at ease, not tempted to fornicate.
