Give instead of receive...

Each time someone celebrates his birthday, he surely will get something from the people around him, e.g. presents, surprise party,wishes..It's all about receiving things on the birthday..This culture makes us think that birthday is merely about receiving things.Don't you get bored with such thinking?

What if, we twist it around sometimes..Instead of receiving, we give. This could make us feel more grateful to Allah (The Creator & Sustainer) because we are still alive till this day.Also because we are able to live like we are, for who we are and in the body we are in. We give to the people around of us as to thank them for being with us all this long, supporting us till now. Alhamdulillah....

But what to give??

Simply give them a treat or make some donations for the needy or be nice to everyone.

It's something different, that surely would make us feel something that is really nice, deep inside of our heart. Verily in Islam, those who are giving are better than those who are receiving. Such beautiful thing is also encouraged by Islam. How beautiful is that??Subhanallah....

This is what I have done on my 19th birthday eve and InsyaAllah, I would like to continue with it for my birthday and perhaps, the days afterward, if I still be given this chance to live on this Earth.Well, HAPPY 19th BIRTHDAY, my DEAR ME!!!Its today....





A slice of chessecake is more than enough for me...
