Why ashwaq?

Assalamualaikum wbt

I start my first entry with bismillahirrahmaanirrahim...
The reason I chosed ‘ashwaq’ as the name of the blog is because of the beautiful meaning lies behind the name. Ashwaq means  love or affection... 
because of love, we are here in this world experiencing all kinds of things in life and we care about other people around us. 

There are times when we are showered with tests and obstacles and in those times, 
we wish that, it’s just a nightmare that will end once we wake up..
although devastation and sadness overwhelmed us on that time,

we always have to remind ourselves that,

those obstacles are given to us as the sign of Allah’s love towards us..

because when we are tested, we got closer to HIM, we pray whole heartedly and we’ll try to figure out what had we done wrong and thus improve ourselves to be a better muslim..
have we ever realize how great Allah's love towards us?

instead of letting us to get carried away by the temporary happiness of the world, we are taken back to the path where we were suppose to by the tests that HE gave to us

In short, because of love and affection, we know and appreciate the value of life….. :)
