Singer Zizi Kirana views life's trials as signs of divine love

Malaysian singer Zizi Kirana embraces life's adversities not as misfortunes, but as profound expressions of divine love. The 41-year-old artist, whose real name is Nur Fazelah Mad Tahil, chooses to accept every trial bestowed upon her by Allah SWT with an open heart, believing these challenges are indicators of God's affection for His followers.

Kirana has resolutely moved on from her past marital difficulties with ex-husband Yusuf Bahrin, choosing not to dwell on the experience. She views these past events as having passed and accepted them with peace. "Insya-Allah, there will be better things that Allah has prepared. As I said, every time a trial comes, that's what I always remember. The trial is a sign that Allah loves me," she stated.

Known for her discretion, Kirana is not one to publicly share her personal struggles. She prefers to confide in a select few individuals she trusts, particularly her close spiritual mentors, Ustaz Wadi and Ustazah Asni. During her difficult phases, she found solace and guidance from them. "Ustaz Wadi always reminded me, remember that the one who gives the trial is He who loves you. If the trial brings us closer to Allah, that is His mercy. But if the trial distances us from Allah, that is a disaster. When I always remember that, I return to self-reflection and look at myself," she explained.

This inclination to maintain privacy regarding her personal life is a long-standing principle for Kirana. "My friends also know, since long ago I rarely share such things. So, when something happens in my life, only those who are truly close know about it. I really don't want others to know about such things," she said. She expressed gratitude for being surrounded by supportive individuals who offer advice and tranquility, guiding her towards spiritual gatherings and engaging in beneficial activities.
