Dear sister

And so I ask you to unlearn. I ask you to stand up and tell the world that you are a slave to nothing—not to fashion, not to beauty, not to men. You are a slave to God and God alone. I ask you to tell the world that you’re not here to please men with your body; You’re here to please God. So to those who mean well and wish to ‘liberate’ you, just smile and say: “Thanks, but no thanks.” 

p/s: This is from one of people that inspired me.  I love her .  May Allah bless you.

Be the one

Dear my friend,

Jika kamu mengimpikan suami seperti Saidina Ali, perbaikilah dirimu menjadi seperti Saidatina Fatimah.

This lovely advice was given to me by one of my best friends. She wrote on a piece of paper and stick it on my board. 

A good woman for a good man. Putera agama hanya untuk puteri agama.

p/s: Stalk his blog. You would be amaze with his writing plus his drawing.

CAUTION! Trap of the DEVIL

Have you ever feel that you are not the right person to give advice to people?
Layakkah aku nak bagi tazkirah?
Layakkah aku nak cakap tentang ayat Al-Quran dan sunnah nabi?
Ilmu didada pun tak cukup, diri sendiri pun tak betul nak bagi nasihat kat orang lain.

Tahukah anda itu semua bisikan syaitan kepada kita. Untuk ape? Untuk menggagalkan umat islam dari saling mengingatkan antara satu sama lain. Untuk menggagalkan usaha dakwah kecil kita.

Ingatkah kita pada ajaran our beloved prophet Muhammad s.aw:
"Sampaikan daripadaku walaupun satu ayat." (Riwayat Bukhari)

Mungkin sekarang kita tidak se alim seperti alim ulama, masih banyak yang perlu diperbetulkan.
Iman masih lagi goyah. Tetapi, fitrah hati itu memang suka kepada kebaikan.
Every time we say something good to others, our ears hear it. It touch our hearts. Remind yourself as well as  others. That's what Islam teach us. Brotherhood,sisterhood. Every single person has their own stage in correcting themselves.
Allah had mention in Quran:

"Dan baikilah (dengan sebaik-baiknya segala usaha) perbuatan kamu, sesungguhnya Allah mengasihi orang yang berusaha memperbaiki amalannya." (al-Baqarah 2;195)

p/s: I found this in SOLUSI volume 38. It worth to buy it.

How you react upon disagreement?

Where should I start first ek? Today, I had spent my time reading the magazine named SOLUSI. Lama sungguh rasanya tak baca. This time the main topic entitled " Syurga itu Benar". I read during a programmed I attended this morning. Because I am not really interested in that program, then I decided to spend with my SOLUSI.

During that programme, I personally disagree with the speaker's speech. It was more like a talk actually. But,I just kept my mouth shut and continue reading. Mengutuk didalam hati saja.huhu. Then, when I keep reading it, I found one hadith that really match with my situation right now.

Rasulullah pernah bersabda yang bermaksud : "Sesiapa yang percaya kepada Allah dan hari akhirat hendaklah dia berkata baik ataupun diam."

Masya Allah, Rasulullah had left us with so many advice and guidance, but sometimes we just ignore it, and maybe hesitant to follow it.  During the programme, the reason why I just keep quiet is I remember when I  watch this dai' in the youtube, he had mentioned about one of our scholar (if I'm not mistaken,sorry I have short term memory). He do not agree with another scholar's opinion and what he do? He did not trying to debate or criticize  the other scholar, but he just keep quiet.

We live in a world with other people that absolutely has their own perspective, opinion. Accept the difference and react appropriately. We may disagree with our friend opinion, but how to react? Rasulullah had teach us, Allah had mentioned in the Quran. Let makes Islam as our way of life. the only way.

Am I?

Alhamdulilah. Today, all things run smoothly. Our group presentation got the highest mark although there are too many question to be answered AND the questions are ask directly to me since the questions are related with my part. Alhamdulilah again, I able to answer all of the question.Honestly,  I don't know how suddenly all the ideas came to my mind. Its all because of HIM. Thank you Allah.

Alhamdulilah again when I found that my carry marks for mid term exam,assignment and report is quite good. I never suspect to get that kind of marks. I do the assignment last minute, study last minute for the midterm paper and same goes with the report. Thank you Allah. But, I start to ponder with all this hikmah and rezeki, is it a istidraj for me? I do less effort but I get all these rezeki.

What is istidraj?

Rasullulah s.a.w. bersabda :" Apabila kamu melihat bahawa Allah Taala memberikan nikmat kepada hambanya yang selalu membuat maksiat (durhaka), ketahuilah bahawa orang itu telah diistidrajkan oleh Allah SWT ". 

(Diriwayatkan oleh At-Tabrani, Ahmad dan Al-Baihaqi).

Ya Allah, selamatkanlah aku dari istidraj. Lindungilah aku, hambamu yang selalu alpa dan lalai ini.

Sometimes it last in love but sometimes....

Recently, I had fall in love with Adele's song; Someone like you..I hear the song every day,every single free time I had and keep repeating the song until I don't know how many time exactly I hear her song. I got so in touch with the lyric especially with the chorus part.

Never mind I'll find someone like you

I wish nothing but the best for you too

Don't forget me

I begged
 I remember you said

Sometimes it last in love but sometimes it hurts instead.

Is all about a love between a girl and a boy. Her ex BF had married already with other girl. Lesson from this song are:

- Let bygones be bygones

-If you truly love someone, you'll always pray for the best for him/her. Don't hold a grudge.

- "Sometimes it last in love but sometimes it hurts instead" So true! 

-Love between human may break your heart sometimes but in love with Allah and Prophet will never break your heart dear..

-Love our Creator not the creation. 

p/s: Reminder for myself and my dearies reader :)

Forgive me

Kadang -kadang bila bergurau senda dgn kawan-kawan, disebabkan terlalu asyik bergurau atau pun dah selalu sangat bergurau..kita tak sedar yang gurauan kita da melampau such as we making fun of her or him in front of other people. Paling dahsyatnye, bila it becomes our habit yg memang da macam sebati dgn diri kita. Tiap kali jumpa je, we do the same thing. do it again and again until at one point our friend,dah tak boleh sabar dipermainkan macam tu. ha! bila dah kene sembur, baru tersedar. Ya Allah, what have I done? I hurt my friend's  heart. Don't wait too long to apologize when we do mistakes and never repeat the mistakes again. A good friend will say bad thing about you in front of you (face to face) just to make you realize your mistake but fake friend talk behind you.

Dear LOVE

Tiada yang kekal kecuali DIA

Yang buruk itu takkan kekal buruk selama-lamanya

dan yang cantik itu takkan kekal cantik selama-lamanya

Yang baik itu takkan kekal baik selama-lamanya

dan yang jahat itu takkan kekal jahat selama-lamanya.

Yang kaya itu takkan kekal kaya selama-lamanya

dan yang miskin itu takkan kekal miskin selama-lamanya.

Tiada apa yang kekal didunia yang sementara ini kecuali

Allah Yang Maha Berkuasa

Jangan lah kau keji hambanya yang berbuat dosa

kerna pengakhiran itu lebih baik dari permulaannya.

Mungkin hari ini kau rasa dirimu mulia tapi di akhirat 

mungkin dirimu dipandang hina.

Dan mungkin hari ini kau rasa dirimu jijik dengan dosa tapi diakhirat

mungkin dirimu disambut gembira kerna taubatmu sebenar-benar taubat.

ingatlah wahai diriku dan dirimu

Katakanlah," Wahai hamba-hamba Ku yang melampau batas terhadap diri mereka sendiri!

JANGANLAH KAMU BERPUTUS ASA DARI RAHMAT ALLAH. SESUNGGUHNYA

ALLAH MENGAMPUNI DOSA-DOSA SEMUANYA.Sungguh Dialah Yang Maha Pengampun Lagi Maha Penyayang." (Az-zumar,53)

U-Turn

After months I stop swimming, yesterday my friends and  I went to our new swimming pool. SOOOOO EXCITED! without doing any warm up, Terus terjun ok. then, I swam until I felt my heart want to explode. Then, on the way to the car after changing our clothes, I was blackout. Fortunately, my friends was there to hold me. After take a sip of water and one choclairs, everything back to normal.hehe. Hypoglycemia maybe plus low BP.  Ok, skip that part. Last night I've a date with catriona ross and ustaz ridhwan. The talk entitled "U-TURN".

A very meaningful talk and sooo much advises I got from it. Here I listed down some of the messages:

• Take care of our heart. Baik hati orang itu, baik lah jasadnya. Rosak hatinya, rosak la jasadnya. As Catriona said, kalau hati sudah rosak, actually you're nothing. NOTHING.
• Dont be harsh to others, always and always be careful with our tongue. 
• Islam itu terhijab dengan muslim. 
• Isilah diri ini dengan ilmu. Learning is a continuous process.

This is the dialog between catriona ross and her friend. It still stuck in my mind. 

Friend : What happen to you? Why do you change?

Cat : Because I feel Allah loves me.

Friend: How do you know Allah loves you?

Cat : Because He gave me my leg back to be able to walk and a chance to have a baby. So, I need to do something as a return. and my aim is that, bila di padang mahsyar nanti, I want to run to our prophet Muhammad s.aw and said, I had follow your sunnah,all the messages that you left for us. I want him to be proud of me.

Friend : (bergenang airmatanya)

I was holding my tears when she talked about this. What a great da'wah she had done. I love you Kak Cat. may Allah always bless you and your family.

Segumpal daging

Gelisah, resah , tak tenang , serba salah

Akal dipinggirkan,

Nafsu diagungkan,

Iman berkurangan,

Hati semakin sakit,

Moga ia kembali sihat,

Jangan lah engkau mati wahai hati.

Lets back to our fitrah

Today might be the last tarawikh for this year. Ramadhan will leave us and syawal is just around the corner. 

Today tazkirah entitled "time" or "waktu". Lets I proceed with BM la..hehe.

Ustaz berkata Rasulullah saw bersabda manusia yang berilmu (if im not mistaken, kadang2 otak ni cepat lupa) mempunyai 4 waktu iaitu :

Pertamanya waktu bermunajat kepada Allah. Berapa banyak masa telah kita habiskan untuk bersama dengan NYA? Berapa kali kita mengadu kepada NYA?

Keduanya waktu untuk muhasabah diri kita. Ada berpesan " hitunglah amalmu sebelum ianya dihitung kelak.

Ketiga, waktu untuk menikmati ciptaan Allah. Pernahkah kita berfikir tentang segala kejadian di sekeliling kita?

Dan terkhir, waktu untuk dunia iaitu dengan mencari rezeki yang halal dan menjadi khalifah di muka bumi ni.

Pesan ustaz itu beribadahlah kerana Allah kerana Allah itu kekal tetapi ramadhan itu akan pergi.

Dear blogger

When a person die, there are 3 things that can help he or she to increase their deeds. First, prayer from a good son or daughter to their parents, secondly, sadaqah (if im not mistaken) and the last one is knowledge that they taught others. Lets talk about the knowledge. For instance, all the book written by the late Islamic scholar. Until today, we use it as our reference. As long as we use it, apply it,  they'll get the rewards from that. 

 So, I wonder what if a person writing about bad thing such as fitnah and when he or she die, people still read about it and start to spread it to their friend, what happen to the writer? 

Thus, beware of what you writing about. To have a safe journey in here and hereafter, lets write  about positive things only which can benefit others and ourselves. Agree? Same goes when we post in our twitter and facebook. Remember dear! Every single thing we do, our action will be noted. 

How could be?

Just come back from tarawikh. Today our imam is Imam Muda Azhar if im not mistaken. Usually after 4 rakaat, there will be a break for the tazkirah, but today tazkirah was conducted after witir prayer. I never watch the Imam Muda programme in the tv. But when the Imam start to recite the quranic versus, it gives me goose bumps. Once the prayer end, an oldwoman beside me said " patut lah dia menang, sedap dia baca kan?" I smiled. Then, proceed with the tazkirah. He told us the importance of Quran as our guidance and we should be close to Quran until we die. Then, He makes an example or analogy. 

 Each of us has a ATM card. This ATM card will show  the amount of amal that we've done during we are alive. Lets imagine, when the time is come ( The judgement day), we check the balance in the ATM machine and it shows ZERO!

 How could be? 

I always fasting during ramadhan. I gives sadaqah during ramadhan, I went to mosque for tarawikh. 

How could be ZERO? 

There are 2 reason. First, you are fasting but its only your stomach. You failed to take care your eyes, your mouth, your ears and your hearts. Second, you had take care all of those thing but, the rewards you get had vanished because you do not take care yourself and your iman after the ramadhan. 

Thus, how to avoid this thing happen? 

One word.. "PRINCIPLE". Every one must have a right principle in their life. We want to be a better person. How? LEARN..but Im busy and there is no time for me to attend class. Radio, internet kan ada?contohnye : majlisilmu.com. 

Mari membaca

Hari ini, banyak sungguh benda yang aku dapat. bukan benda tapi ilmu, peringatan buat aku yang mudah lupa ni.

Bermula nya dari WHI yang aku tonton , topik hari ni pasal perbelanjaan menjelang raya. Aku tengok bukan dari awal pon, dah sampai pertengahan dah masa tu. Ada seorang tetamu  yg mana muka familiar cuma aku tak tahu namanya. Pakar motivasi barangkali. Dialognye lebih kurang mcm ni.

Pengacara: Ada sesetengah orang, mereka merasakan hebat pabila memakai barangan berjenama.

P.motivasi: Orang yang sebegitu meletakkan nilai dirinya pada nilai barang yang dia pakai. Bila pakai barangan yang tak berjenama, mulalah terasa low self esteem. Nilai diri seseorang sebenarnya terletak pada nilai kemanusiannya. Orang yg begini, bijak mengurus wang dan hidupnya kerana  dia sedar kenapa dia dihidupkan, apa tanggungjawabnya.

Sedarkah aku? Sedarkah kamu?

Selepas itu, aku berhijrah pula ke facebook. Lalu terbaca la satu kisah benar yang bertajuk 

                                 Abang tunggu mak di syurga ye

 Sungguh kuat ibunya, sungguh tabah wanita itu. Sebab itulah Allah turunkan ujian buat dia kerna Allah tahu dia boleh memikulnya. Meleleh2 air mata ni baca nota itu. Al-fatihah 

Selesai baca nota tu, aku baca pula satu blog yang dikongsikan di fb. Tajuk nota tu "Andai dia pergi dulu sebelummu.." (genta-rasa)  Aku tersentuh bila membaca satu ayat yang buatku tersedar dan berfikir.

"Jangan ada rasa dimiliki, dan jangan ada rasa memiliki. Bila terasa sepi, jangan katakan aku sepi… tapi katakan pada ku sentiasa ada pemerhati." 

Semalam, aku menonton Ini kisahku di Tv9. Ini Kisahku adalah satu program TV tentang penghijrahan artis2 ke arah kebaikan. Jadi, artis pada hari itu adalah Wardina Safiyyah which is my favorite celebrity, my inspiration. Memang ku nantikan sebenarnya. Satu prinsip hidup Wardina yang menarik hatiku ialah "You are what you eat and YOU ARE WHAT YOU READ. " Apa yang kita baca selama ni akan membentuk mindset kita, perlakuan kita dan diri kita. 

Apa yang aku baca selama ni? Apa yang kamu baca selama ini? atau dah berzaman tak baca apa2 ? 

Tak perlu pergi jauh2, tanyalah pada diri kita.. Bilakah kali terakhir aku membaca Al-Quran? Adakah sekadar membaca tapi tak memahaminya? 

Apple does not fall far away from the tree

Malam ke 8 ramadhan di sebuah masjid. 
Sedang beramai2 selawat ke atas nabi setelah selesai 2 rakaat solat sunat tarawikh:


Si kecil : tumpang lalu (sambil mencelah antara makmum)


Kelihatan seorang budak lelaki memakai jubah putih dan bersongkok putih. saaangat lah comel. Dia rupanya tuan punya suara. Dia terus pergi kepada ibunya. Kemudian imam pun berdoa, maka semua diam meng amin kan doa. Ketika itu...


Si kecil : allahumma hamna bil quran..(dia membaca doa khatam quran sampai habis dengan berlagu2)
 Sangat kagum kerana tidak ada cacat celanya doa yang si kecil itu baca . Tidak pelat langsung, petah sungguh.


Kemudian, kami berdiri untuk meneruskan solat tarawikh


Si ibu : adik duduk kat belakang dulu eh, ibu nak solat
Si kecil: nak solat dgn ibu


Maka solat lah dia bersama kami dengan caranya sendiri. Si kecil solat tidak mengikut imam tapi dia melakukan satu persatu mengikut turutan yang betul. Selepas membaca fatihah, rukuk, takbiratulihram, sujud, duduk antara dua sujud, sujud . Dia melakukannya seorang diri tanpa mengikut makmum lain yang pada ketika itu makmum masih berdiri untuk rakaat pertama.Setelah selesai, doa dibaca dan sekali lagi si kecil itu membaca doa khatam quran. Seorang makmum bertanya kepada si kecil


Makmum: umur berapa ni?
si kecil : 4 tahun (sambil mengangkat 4 jari). Abang saya 10 tahun.


Aku tersenyum. Dalam hati tertanya2, bagusnya si kecil ini. Macam mana agak nya ibu bapanya mendidik si kecil itu. 

Lets forgive and forget

Hold to forgiveness; command what is right; But turn away from the ignorant 

(Al-A'raf : 199)

Ramadhan kareem

Andai kata Ramadhan tahun ini adalah yang terakhir buatku, 

akan ku jadikan Ramadhan kali ini adalah Ramadhan yang terbaik sepanjang hayatku.

Be the DOERS

It is easy to say something rather than do it straight away. 

It is easy to plan rather than to make it accomplish

Stop dreaming sweetheart. 

Time will leave you and keep moving on 

but you?

still lagging behind

enjoying your dream that you wish to come true 

but you done nothing, effortless

then,

your precious dream will remain as a dream that will never be true

Unless..

you be the DOERS 

stop being the effortless dreamer.

Good luck guys :) 

Reminder

Stop complaining for what we do not have. 

Appreciate on what we already have.

 Never regret.

 Be grateful. 

Happiness will come to you.

Good bye and Welcome

LOST..UNMOTIVATED..STRESS..SAD..

I'm sure each of us had or has facing all of the above feelings. Me too. From where those feelings come from?

It originate from a word called "PROBLEM". Yes, any kind of problem may cause you to feel lost, stress and so on. Sometimes we feel stress or unhappy because we need to leave our comfort zone and unfortunately, the new zone is really disaster maybe.  We try so hard to forget the problem by running away from it. But how far could we ran? Problem is like our shadow. As long we do not settle it, it'll follow you. So, deal with it. Face it. Take it as a challenge, as a CHANCE given by God to you become more stronger. Lets take it as an opportunity for us to learn how to overcome an obstacle in our real life. This lesson we can only get through experience. We cant find it in any books. Lets take our first step today. No more running. Its time to say good bye to all those feelings (sad, stress, unmotivated) and welcome to happiness.

Quotes

Hands up who's falling in love with quotes?? I love reading  quotes. I really do. It helps to boost your spirit. Helps you to be stronger after hard time you had been through. So, this is ONE of my favorite quotes from gossip girl.

" Sometimes you need to allow yourself to be weaker in order to grow stronger"

Oh, there's one more from my favorite author, Mitch Albom ..

"Holding anger is a poison. It eats you from the inside. We think that hating is a weapon that attacks the person who harmed us. But hatred is a curved blade. And the harm we do, we do to ourselves."


Do you feel the power of the quotes? I do..

Learning??

We will never stop learning even though we had finished our school.  Never stop learning because it keeps your brain work, it keeps your eyes open. Look around you,there'll always something to be learned. Learning doesn't mean it solely depend on a book. Learn from our mistakes,learn from others. Observe our surrounding. It will help us to be better person.

Baby steps

Finally, I have the guts to drive a car, and guess what? I had drive on my own. I had driving licence since 2006 and I never drive since that. lets face it, not only me facing this dilemma, right? So, here some tips from me to those who feels scare to drive:

• You have to know exactly where do you want to go. This can help you to be more calm during driving.
• Read or ask people how to drive a car. This can help you to refresh your memory.
• If you drive an automatic car, it is highly recommended to use one foot only. Remember which one is the brake and the gas pedal.
• The most inspired thing for me to overcome my fear in driving is 'there is a brake in the car that I can press on it, and it will assist me in driving'. It sounds funny, but it really helps me. I cant explain how it helps me, but it's like a psychology skill to psycho my brain =)

Success follows experience..I cant remember where I get this from, but it stuck in my mind and go through to my vein and lastly go deep in my heart. The most valuable education is through experience.it teach us the reality of life,we struggle to survive.Although some experience may not bring happiness to us,but it still teach us something.It taught us to be more stronger and do not repeat the same mistake in future.It taught us the consequences of our action.Learn from the experience,then success is in your hand.
