Hi and Assalammualaikum everyone. How are you guys doing? May Allah shower you with His great bless, in the name of Ar-Rahman and wash away your worries that troubles you lately. ( ps:// the du'a is inspired with cold weather that come this morning, thanks to the rain yesterday, Alhamdulillah. )

Recently, I've been reading "The Art Of Letting God" written by Mizi Wahid. I knew that this book got recommended a lot and that was why I took the initiative to ask my brother, to buy Ustaz Mizi's books for my birthday, last March. When he was willingly agree at WhatsApp, you don't know how excited I were. I giggled all day and maybe my roommates were annoyed at me tehee. ( I always favor anyone who buy or give me books. It's like you pass on a story for me to reflect and ponder of. The little happiness that rarely comes because you know how expensive books are for me. )

Although it was purchased last March, I were at the college that time and the books were delivered to my hometown. The fact that it is July and I just half-way reading it, make me think " Huhhh, book lover konon? " hahaha but trust me, I am ( or would say, try to be! ) I just find it is quite hard to read non-fiction book and the good timing just doesn't come! Right after I finished my studies too, I've been spending my times with other pending books as well. It turns out, okay June-July is for me to read time to time, solely for this book. The Art Of Letting God.

Just like how it is described at the synopsis of back hard cover, it is about how you letting go and letting God. More like for you to know on how to move on and how beautiful Allah has put the situation for you to deal it. At this current moment, I do not have any grudge to let go, so I feel like it is not the right time to read.. it's like " Hm, I'm doing good.. so I do not need the book right now. " ( lol, look how foolish I am! ) but then, I can see a lot of people having a hard time so at least, by reading this book, I could remind myself how to overcome problems in the future more rational and learn to put myself in other shoes frequently. " There's always nothing wrong at the book, it just how you take it, Ariena. "

Last few weeks, my friend whom I named as S, spoke up about her recent concern, dealing with her close friends circle but pandemic made her to think that their friendship is no longer the way it used to be. As far as I know, S always prioritizes her people. It matters to her. So I thought it must be hard for her to think in such way. At the other hand, I don't think it is a big deal because I always thought that people will just come and go, but it is not good to talk like that, right? It might not be a problem for me, but to S, it might be. Or not, she wouldn't open up to me. I have a long thought regarding this and along the way, I understand how she felt at that point. It's like missing a tiny space from your heart and you find that you yearn to fill it. Sometimes, it just you miss the memories, not the person but I believe S just tried to vent out her frustration to me ( rather than bottle up her emotions ) and just wish her friends to come back. Things just got harder friend, but here is excerpt from The Art Of Letting God, that

" By not forgiving and letting go of your past, you're not hurting the people you have a grudge against, you're only causing more pain to yourself."
