Oh, lama tak update !

Salam w.b.t.

Pernah pegi Mogamma? Fuhh
Sesak, padat, perlu korban hari kelas dan mungkin pulang dengan jawaban 'bukrah'
Pernah diganggu kanak-kanak kecil di jalan?
Pernah menyimpan perasaan kuang hasam tatkala ahli beit buat muka masam?

Kita memang selaku mengharapkan perkara2 yang baik berlaku dalam kehidupan kita. Hari bangun pagi, ada sarapan.. Pergi kelas dr datang awal.. Jalan2 ada arab tegur nak buat kawan.. Time lunch membe belanja makan.

Yup,
Itu natural. Sume org expect and hope good things to happen bila dia bangun dari tidur. That's why kita selalu doa supaya Allah berikan kita kebaikan dunia dan akhirat.

Ironinya, kita sebagai 'pengharap' jarang untuk jadi the first one to deliver 'kindness'.
Selalu kita harapkan Allah untuk bg kita macam2. Tapi dengan nikmat yang sudah kita kufur. Selalu kita harap budak2 arab kat jalan tak kacau kita. Tapi kita tak pernah tegur atau belanja cekedis kat diorang. Tau tak klu kita buat sedemikian kita akan bg sense kat diorang yg kita ini bukan 'threat'. Barulah die boleh terima kita as a part of society. Selalu kita mengharap orang nak layan kita the best sebagai tetamu, tp pernahkah kita menjadi tuan rumah yang terbaik?

Macam mana kita nak dapat kalau kita tak memberi? Kalau semua nak memberi, maka melimpah ruahlah kebaikan dalam dunia ni. Kita akan sentiasa cukup.







Adapun kengkadang kita dah buat yang terbaik, beri segalanya. Tp surrounding kita buat najis. Heh.

Jangan futur.

Itu ujian uh. Jangan balas apa yang diorang buat kat kome dengan perbuatan yang sama. Kalau korang benci orang tak suka senyum jangan buat muka toye dengan dia. Anda adalah anda. Jangan buat diri dan prinsip anda berubah dengn asbab orang lain.

Orang yg menulis ini bukanlah holy atau wali. Saya jua selalu buat silap. Mohon doa yok!

juru-belajar

"Bacalah Dengan nama tuhanmu yang menciptakan"
(Surah Al-A'laq:1)

'Belajar kerana Allah'

Memang ayat yang common, cliche org cakap. Tapi bila bab nak amal tu yang terhincut-hincut. 

Problem nye datang bila student2 ni actually memandang sistem pembelajaran ni berdasarkan untuk lepas exam sahaja. Sedangkan sistem itu dicipta untuk melengkapkan suasana pembelajaran. Masalah ni memang sinonim dengan orang melayu. Bila nawaitu saumaghodin nya dah diletakkan untuk setakat lepas exam, maka wujudlah situasi2 seperti berikut:

1) Kehadiran ke kelas umpama biskut chipsmore. Kejap ada, kejap takde. Kalau yang konsisten pon dtg kelas umpama itik pulang petang, kelas dah start setengah jam baru nak nampak muka.

2) Kebanyakan masa sebelum exam dihabiskan dengan gajet, membalas komen2, twit, analisis politik, stalking, beradu dan banyak lagi.

3) Markah exam cukup2 makan.

4)Apa yang dipelajari malam sebelum exam hilang sejurus melangkah keluar dewan peperiksaan.

Ok, bukanlah markah cukup2 makan itu tidak bagus. Ia masih menunjukkan anda hadir ke ujian dengan strategi. Cuma bukankah markah yang baik dan sikap yang sentiasa bersemangat nak menuntut ilmu akan memberi imej yang baik sebagai seorang muslim.

Seperti kata Sheikh Hussain Yee, Orang selain Islam di Malaysia sukar nak lihat Islam tu kerana Melayu. [ayat ni bukanlah exactly quote]. Di Tanah Melayu ni melayu menggambarkan islam. Jika dilihat di sekolah2 mahupun di ipt, yang mengungguli tempat2 teratas adalah orang2 selain islam. Klau kita di tempat mereka, mahukah kita 'join' satu agama yang pelajar2 nya tidak mampu bersaing baik dalam pelajaran, tapi masih diberi keistimewaan yang terlampau banyak. 

Jadi bagaimana nak niat kerana Allah?

1) Niatkan sikap enthusiasm, competitive dan spirit nak belajar tu akan beri pandangan yang positif kepada non-muslim.

2) Nak jadi pelopor kepada penemuan2 baru.

3) Kalau orang islam pandai, hebat bersuara, berani ke israel nak serang palestine?

4) Paling penting nak kenal Allah. Refleksi diri, seelah berapa tahun anda belajar, adakah anda semakin takut kepada Allah atau masih tak berasa apa2.

Kerana mata yang memandang

Kerana matamu memandang

aib sebalik tabir.
Kesal hatimu bergetar
mengundang taubat sebenar.

Hilangmu dirasai Nabi,
Umar dan Salman diminta mencari.
Ke rumah ke pasar dijejaki.
Sehingga gunung didaki.
Riwayat penternak menyentuh hati.
Kisah air mata diberita.

Umar menjemputnya dari sahara,
Nabi mengunjung pohon berita.
Kekal Iman syurga dipinta.
Maut menjemput penuh selesa.
Malaikat mengiring sampai pusara.

Inilah kisah duka Sa'labah.
Takutkan diri tidak diterima
mencari ampun berair mata.
Tenanglah dia dalam syurga.

#The believer sees his sins as if he is sitting at the foot of a mountain fearing that it might fall on him, while the sinner  sees his sins as a fly that lands on his nose, he just waves it away.

Stairway to heaven

Ramadhan karem!

Few points on Ramadhan and how can it benefits you :)

Meningkatkan ketaqwaan:

“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Kamu diwajibkan berpuasa sebagaimana diwajibkan atas orang-orang yang dahulu daripada kamu, supaya kamu bertakwa.” (Surah al-Baqarah, ayat 183).

Limitation yg berlaku dlm bulan puasa seperti tak boleh makan dan minum, berjimak bg suami isteri di siang hari adalah elemen fizikal. Manakala taqwa adalah elemen spiritual. Bagaimana puasa boleh bg taqwa..

Pabila berpuasa, Mindset kita mmg tau mau makan. Tapi perut kita constantly bg mesej untuk diisi.. Pabila puasa kita menahan mata dari memandang perkara2 mungkar, tapi hati kita berombak2 untuk menjamu nafsu.. Makanya, there’s a lot of battle that happens inside of you. So after 30 days of fighting with your nafs, you should be able to continue your journey for the rest of the year. It makes you prepared and trained to overcome your own nafs and continue to obey Allah. That is what taqwa is. Melakukan suruhan dan meninggalkan larangan-Nya. Sebab tu klu tengok ramai orang dok pakai ‘dp’ madrasah ramadhan.. hhmm

Menghapuskan dosa:

Kepada rakan2 hamba, memang kita ini pendosa. Sorga dan neraka itu pun tempat pendosa tetapi yg membezakan mereka adalah taubat. Tidaklah kita pergi masuk tidur selepas seharian bermain di lumpur melainkan kita mandi dulu. Tatkala pintu bilik mandi ini dibuka seluas-luasnya dgn haruman, jakuzi, bunga2 mawar dan bathtub di dalamnya.. jangan lepaskan peluang. The only thing that kept you from taubah is your own ego.

“Sesiapa yang mendirikannya(Ramadhan) penuh keimanan dan keikhlasan diampunkan baginya apa dosanya yang telah lalu.” Hadis riwayat Bukhari, Muslim, Tarmizi, Abu Daud, Nasai‟e,Malik,Ahmad dan Baihaqi.

Kann.. Kalau kita betul2 niat nak jadikan ramadhan ini your turning point, kita akan keluar sebagai kertas putih [sofhatul baidha’].. Ibarat bayi yang baru dilahirkan dan masih kenyal2 pipinya khas untuk dicubit..

Bulan Kecintaan:

Yahh.. Cinta kepada Allah.. Tatkala anda kegusaran, keluh kesah, tidur tak lena, mandi tak basah, ada satu jalan yang diberi untuk mendekatkan lagi diri anda kepada kekasih memasing. Yaa.. Jalan itu hanya 30 hari. Diringankan beban, tiada gangguan[syaaitan], di hiasi  jalan2 itu dengan lailatul qadr, tarawih, pahala amalan dilipat gandakan dan macam2 lagi.. [T&C applied]

Jalan2 ini bagaikan shorcut untuk menemuai Allah.. Para sahabat amat menanti kedatangan Ramadhan, Di hitung2 kedatangannya, di tangisi pemergiannya.. malah berduyun2 doa untuk disampaikan mereka kepada ramadhan.. Tapi kenapa?

Kerana dalam Ramadhan, mereka dapat berlari lebih pantas menuju Allah. Mereka tidak mencintai Ramadhan kerana Ramadhan. Mereka mencintai Ramadhan kerana Allah. Sebelum Ramadhan, mereka berlari menuju Allah dengan muatan yang berat [Syaitan]. Sekarang, Syaitan sudah tiada. Maka, mereka melihat ini sebagai satu peluang keemasan untuk mereka mendekati Allah.

Konklusi:

Setuju dengan pendapat Aiman Azlan.. Kalau orang benar2 becinta, 30 hari itu tidak pernah cukup. Tatkala hari pertama mereka bertemu, mereka sudah risau akan kedatangan hari di mana mereka akan berpisah. Bak kata Profesor Tariq Ramadan, “Our relationship with Allah is a love story.” Tiada bulan yang lebih istimewa untuk kita suburkan cinta kita kepada Allah daripada bulan Ramadhan.

Go on. Go write your love story. Make it special.

Dan sabar itu lebih baik

Suatu hari tok gi jenjalan. Hasrat di hati nak jalan kaki tapi summer di Fammul Kaleq ni memaksa kami menahan teksi. We hopped in a taxi and took off for hadiqah. Teksi kami berada di lane yang benar, teksi meluncur dengan lancar dan tiba2, sebuah teksi hitam keluar dari parking space betul2 depan teksi kami.

Gulp,

Ammu teksi terus slammed brake tuh.. teksi berganjak untuk beberapa inchi walaupun brek dah sepenuh hati ditekan. Punggung teksi ni hampir2 menjadi mangsa kereta di belakang. Kami kaku, tak biasa berlaku keadaan 'emergency brake' ni kalau kat Tanah Melayu.

Kemudian driver kereta depan ni terus pusing kepala dan marah2 kat driver teksi ni. Guess what, Ammu ni cool je dan lambai tangan kat lelaki tu. And I mean, really friendly. So, dengan bahasa arab ammiah yang kami 'melayu'kan, awat pakcik kool ja?

Dia explain yang manusia ni macam garbage truck. Dia lalu macam2 onar dalam hidup dia dan kumpul macam2 masalah [anger, frustration dll]. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on you. Tak yah personal sangat... Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don’t take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets.

yeah !

Pokoknya, orang2 sukses tak benarkan sikap garbage truck ni ruined over their day. Orang yang terlampau banyak hatred dalam diri dia tak akan bahagia. Hatta Rasulullah sekalipun sabar kalau orang lain ada buat kesalahan terhadap dirinya. Bagaimana Rasulullah nak menghadapi cercaan dan tohmahan dalam berdakwah kalau sabar itu tidak mngambil tempatnya at the first place. Sabar itu bukan tanda kelemahan tapi penghias diri. Hidup ini terlampau pendek untuk dikesali, so… love the people who treat you right & pray for the ones who don’t.

#Have a blessed, garbage-free day.
#Cerita ni rekaan, kopipes plusminus sket2, ibrah jgn lupa ambik

Yang p****K hujung sekali ! [waktu amik gambar]

Ko ni what’s app sini, what’s upp sana.. ko tak up2 pon~

Berikut adalah situasi yang kurang menyenangkan pabila tiba waktu2 ketinggian diambil kira.. Bukanlah mengeluh, cumanya situasi2 begini buat Tok rasa ‘asing’ . Cehhh!

Kisah Ibn Mas’ood ni smart ouh!

lbn Masud, the Prophet’s SAW Companion, was the man who had been as small as a bird. He was just like a dwarf. He was so thin and short that he was the same height as a sitting person. He had very thin legs. He once climbed a tree to pick some arak sticks for the Prophet SAW, and when the Companions saw how thin his legs were they laughed. The Prophet SAW said, ‘Are you laughing at Ibn Masud’s legs? On Allah’s scales of justice they are heavier than the mountain of Uhud.’ Indeed that was the poor, weak hired boy who became by faith an Imam guiding people to the light.

 –hadith of the day-

We may be short in terms of physical means.. But never be a ‘short’ person in doing good deeds and spreading the beauty of Islam.. May Allah grant us taqwa, tawfeeq and hidayah in going good deeds.

O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted. -Hujurat 13-

Orang Putih!

One day a British man asked from a Muslim scholar:

English man asked: ”why Muslim women are not allowed in Islam to shake a hand with men?”

The scholar said: “could you take the hands of Queen Elizabeth in your hands?”

English man said:” Of course not, only certain people are allowed to shake hands with the Queen”

The scholar answered: Our Ladies are Queen and the Queen won’t shake hands with strange men

Truth, Cry and Lie II

Aleya: Eh, awak ada guli

Ahmad: Ha’ah.. mak kita belikan.. hihi

Aleya: Awak nak tau.. Kita ade cekelat.. banyak tau.

Ahmad: Ye kerr.. hhmmm.. kite tukar nak.. awak amik sume guli, kita amik suma cekelat.nak?

Aleya: Hmmm.. ok la!

Maka berlakulah pertukaran dia antara Ahmad dan Aleya. Ahmad tidaklah sejujur yang disangka.. Ahmad rasa Aleya akan buang guli tu.. perempuan kan! Ahmad simpan sebiji guli yang paling lawa dan besar.Ahmad tak mau bagi guli tu.. Pada malam kejadian, Ahmad susah tidur.. Pusing kanan, pusing kiri.. ponn tak dapat tidur.. Jauh di sudut hati Ahmad risau yang Aleya juga turut korup dalam pertukaran [pemikiran budak2].

Ahmad: Entah2, Aleya pon ade simpan cekelat paling besar dan paling sedap.. mane aci!

‘Dipercayai lebih utama dari dicintai!
Amanah itu akar mahabbah’- Ust Pahrol

Dalam suatu perhubungan, percaya adalah toggak asas. Mana mungkin cinta tanpa percaya. Tengok  ‘Ahmad’.. Ahmad yang ragu pada persahabatan.. Akhirnya.. hatinya tak tenang. Tidurnya tak lena.

Percayalah Pada Allah. Dia tahu yang terbaik buat kita. Dalam fatrah exam ni.. Usaha itu memang tanggungjawab kita, berjaya atau tidak itu reward. Kalau kita dah belajar bersungguh2, jangan risau natijah  kita mcam mana..  Kalau kita ada rasa gelisah dan tak puas, itu maknanya kita masih tidak percaya pada Allah. Kalau tak percaya, macam mana boleh cinta? #Doakan GENIIUS najjah exam, cuak ni

Do the best, Allah will do the rest

# Cerkon 2

Melihat kemungkaran dan keculasan orang memang mudah. Namun sukar kuterjemahkan ke dalam sendiri. Saya terserempak dengan kawan dalam perjalanan menuju ke destinasi yang sama. Dia langsung tak memaling muka dan menyapa waima kami memang agak rapat dulu. Sangkaanku, mungkin dia ni dah sombong selepas dapat taklifan. Sembang tarbiah sini sana. Rajin pergi kelas agama. Solat sume waktu kat masjid.. Tapi akhlak,,, coit!

bwek !

Hakikatnya saya sendiri yang tak husnuzon. I am the one who shoud greet him ‘salam’ at the first place. Rasulullah pun orang pertama yang akan bagi salam, kenapa aku nak bajet holy nak judge orang yang tak bagi salam tu sombong. Mungkin jugak dia tu sibuk n fikir macam2 perkara. Mungkin jugak dia tak perasan kehadiran kami di situ. Stop being a person yang menjaharkan jalan2 orang lain ke nerakan instead of mencerahkan jalan sendiri ke syurga. [pesanan untuk diri sendiri]

Road to Histology Exam

What a day! Janji temu kami dgn kertas peperiksaan amali histology dijadualkan jam 12. Sememangnya ikhwah telah bersiap2 dengan hensem sekali dengan dada yang berkubar-kubar, adapun yang masih belum tidur seusai solat sbuh yang masuk waktunya jam 3.40 pagi.. hmm. Maklumlah, final exam kot!

12.00- sampai, then sempit2 ngan arab kat depan lab.

12.30- dikhabarkan doktor nak habiskan grup2 student arab dulu. Pastu baru group student Msia.

12.35- kecoh2 sket pastu gi solat

1.00- masih menuggu

1.30- masing2 dah duduk atas lantai. kelihatan ada ikhwah yang bermain2 sambil menyanyi di tangga

1.45- dah maju sket.. dah naik floor lab histo

2.00- makin maju.. duduk kat kerusi depan lab

2.++- masuk lab

2-3 – tunggu giliran (akhowat masuk dulu, gentleman~~)

3.20- baru masuk (mood exam dah hilang)

3.30- baru buat first q’s.. then dah azan asar.. slide tak sama dalam revision pon!

Setelah lama menunggu, kami pon dpt juga ambil exam. Mood mmg dah cair la. Daripada nervous terus jadi fikir nak blik rumah je.. tension bila masuk exam2rebut. Hari tu exam fisio cam ni jgak.

Tapi bila fikir2 balik, kawan2 kita kat negara lain diuji dengan  exam sampai 6 jam.. wooh! Nak solat pon kena rushing. Kami baru me’nunggu’ 2-3 jam boleh main lari2 lagi. ... And kalau difikirkan dr2 yang stay untuk run exam tu dah berapa lama, depa lagi penat kot... ‘ala kulli hal. Jangan kita banyak songeh sgt. Lebih baik bykkan doa dri berleter memaki hamun sistem. Sampaikan di tempat yang betul.(time jumpa ngan dean sume kaku-nasihat utk diri sendiri). Doakan kami najjah ! Semoga kami lebih kuat kalau diuji lagi sedemikian :)

 

jalan goyang2 pasca exam

The Woodcutter

Once upon a time, a very strong woodcutter asked for a job in a timber merchant and he got it. The pay was really good and so was the work condition. For those reasons, the woodcutter was determined to do his best.

His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he supposed to work.

The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 trees.

“Congratulations,” the boss said. “Go on that way!”

Very motivated by the boss words, the woodcutter tried harder the next day, but he could only bring 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder, but he could only bring 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing less and less trees.

“I must be losing my strength”, the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and apologized, saying that he could not understand what was going on.

“When was the last time you sharpened your axe?” the boss asked.

“Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees…”

Our lives are like that. We sometimes get so busy that we don’t take time to sharpen the “axe”. In today’s world, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but less happy that ever.Why is that? Could it be that we have forgotten how to stay “sharp”? There’s nothing wrong with activity and hard work. But we should not get so busy that we neglect the truly important things in life, like our personal life, taking time to get close to our Creator, giving more time for our family, taking time to read etc.We all need time to relax, to think and meditate, to learn and grow. If we don’t take the time to sharpen the “axe”, we will become dull and lose our effectiveness.

Author: Stephen Covey

From: 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, it seems that everyone is busier than ever, but less happy that ever.

Manifestasi Cinta

Ada sorang perempuan tua yang tinggal dengan anaknya di bandar. Perempuan ini menghidap alzheimer. Memang agak menyusahkan. Perempuan itu kadang kala terlupa nak basuh najisnya, lupa nak kunci pintu rumah, biarkan dapur gas dan lampu bilik mandi tak ditutup dan mcm2 lagi. Hari2 anaknya kena bg full attention dekat mak ni. Mcm2 perkara dia lupa. Anaknya makin sedih dan luntur kasih sayangnya pada orang tua tuh hari demi hari. 

Satu hari perempuan tua tuh nak keluar rumah .Waktu tuh anaknya tiada. Dia pon amik kunci dan drive kereta anak die ke menuju ke destinasi yg tak dapat dikenalpasti. Bila si anak balik dan tengok maknya dan kereta dah takde, anaknya menggelabah dan terus call polis. Tak lama kemudian, maknya pulang bersama kereta. Tetapi ditemani oleh 2 orang lelaki. Apabila di tanya, 2 lelaki ckp cmni.

Kereta makcik ni td stop tgh jalan. Minyak habis. Kami pon tolonglah. Dia ckp dia pon lupa jalan balik. Address pon tak ingat. Tapi dia cuma ingat first dan last name anak kesayangan dia. Kami pon google dan dapat cri alamat nih. Anaknya pon speechless.

Moral of the story : Jangan putus harapan. Cinta tu still ada tapi mungkin tak dapat nak manifest sbb anak tuh yang tak rasa soul die. Baginya, cinta itu hanya terbukti kalau maknya buat baik dan terus menerus dapat sumbang something dalam kehidupuan die. Sama macam kita. Kalau Allah uji kita mcm2, kita doa kaw2 dan expect Allah akan permudahkan tapi Allah mcm tak respond. Jangan expect yang kasih sayang Allah hanya ada ketika dia bg kat kita kebaikan. Ingatlah yang cikgu2 kita time exam pon tak bagi jawapan kat kita. Dan mungkin hikmahnya Allah nak kita ubah hati kita sebelum Allah ubah situasi kita. Kasih sayang Allah lebih hebat daripada kasih saang ibu kepada anaknya. Jgn berhenti berdoa dan berusaha! #BOOSTER

#kedit

Lagi-lagi masalah !

Apsal aku tak jawab jawapan ni tadi? *tepuk dahi kuat2

Serabut giler arab ni ! @#$%^&*

Duit aku hilanglah !

Adik ade maslah eh? :p 

Sometimes, we faced a lot of unberable problems. Those problem are test from Allah. We need to go through this test asking Allah to help us. When you go to school, the more test you have, the more the question you have,  the more difficult the question you have , the more the qualification. Whenever a person had a good results in A-level exam, he is more than qualified to enter any of those well-knowed universities. So Allah test us in order for us to have a better palace in heaven. He put more difficulties in it. Some of us are bancrupt, some of us loss his legs, some of us failed in exam and a lot of any other problem just to test, are these tests will shatter our faith?  - Mufti Menk

Masalah yang timbul boleh datang dari pelbagai angle. Kengkadang time balik main futsal, kedang time tengah tidur dan dll. Masalah2 ini juga yang boleh buat kita terjaga dari tidur sambil berpeluh2. Sehingga jauh di sudut hati tak mampu nak hadapinya lagi.. Seringkali kita bila berhadapan dgn masalah tak mampu nak bersandar pada Allah. Ramai orang yg namapak hebat dalam amalan2 fardhu tapi bila itimpa masalah mengamuk melempar pasu. eh?  

Boleh jadi masalah yg Allah turunkan boleh jadi kifarah dosa/menghapuskan dosa2 kecil kita yg lampau. Mungkin juga Allah jadikan masalah kerana Allah ‘rindu’ pujuk rayu hambaNya. Sedangkan Rasulullah S.A.W yg maksum itu diuji. Baginda dilempar najis, diuji dengan kematian isteri dan bapa saudaranya dan mcm2 lagi, tetapi adakah baginda merungut dan lupakan Allah? Terpana seketika pabila terkenang kita yang baru kena kacau sket dengan arab2 terus melatah dan marah tahap dewa. Huhu.

“Adakah manusia mengira bahawa mereka akan dibiarkan berkata: “Kami telah beriman”, sedang mereka tidak diuji?”(Quran 29:2)

Mehlah kita bersabar dan seek guidance from Allah tatkala senang dan susah. Allah uji kita untuk lihat mcm mana kita rebounce dan capai ‘tangan’ Allah kembali. May Allah grant us his blessing in this world and hereafter =)

Ikan Todak Goreng Tepung

Salam. Ikan ada banyak jenis. Ikan apa yang lg besar dari ikan bawal? Jawapannya ikan bawal goreng salut tepung. :P

Tatkala Singapore ketika dahulu dikatakan dilanggar todak, orang2 di sekitar pesisir Dangan Bay agak heran mengapa ikan2 todak tersebut bila digorang tidak terasa masin. Sedangkan sudah ma’aruf habitatnya itu sudah sedia masin. Maka dibuat macam2 usaha utk memastikan ikan itu pabila dimakan terasa masin. Akhirnya timbullah idea untuk marinate ikan tuh selepas kematian beliau.

Cerita ni tak jauh beza dengan kita. Ikan tuh tak terpengaruh dengan keadaan sekeliling sebab beliau masih hidup. Masih ada mekanisma penyingkiran garam dalam insangnya. Kalau manusia, kalau kita hati kita hidup, konpem susah nak bagi buasir2 anasir2 berhaluan kiri invade hati kita. Tp kalau mati? hmm.. mcm mana nak jaga?  Maka perhidupkan hati dengan amalan fardhu dan hiasilah ia dengan amalan2 sunat. Renung-renungkan dan selamat beramal!

When actions speaks louder!

Character plays a major role of inviting mad3u to taqwa. You may be great in delivering speech but your action makes most of the effort of making mad3u conscious of Allah. There was a story of a muslim man. He was raised by a muslim family. But his family’s deen was some kind of complicated. It was totally mixed up with other religion. He grown up in New York and never really practicing Islam at that time. He used to get into fight with his mother, he went to jail, he used to be in mob gangs and all kind of stuff.

Later on, he repented and starts looking for god. As his name was muslim so he started to search about Islam. He started going to masjid and starts learning how to pray. One day his wife [who was not a muslim at that time] realized that his husband had changed. He was praying, beers was gone from the fridge, he was not going out with his drinking buddies and he did not spend his weekend in Atlantic City anymore. He was a different guy! And the guy did not tell anything to his wife. He didn’t even asked the wife to wear hijaab or to pray. 

The guy went to meet a scholar in their city. He told the scholar of their current situation that he was becoming more religious and her wife was still a christian. And he did asked for help! The scolar said ‘ Don’t say anything about islam. Just be the best husband you can be and to that, just study what kind of husband that our prophet had shown to us’. In the other word, just follow the sunnah!

At first he did make some argument with her wife about christianity but none of them really worked. 3 years goes by and he stops debating about christianity. He just be what he can be as the best husband. One day as he was making maghrib, his wife joint him in solah! He was totally curious and asked her after solah.

H: What happen?

W: No, nothing..

H: No you have to tell what’s going on.

W: It’s  complicated [like most women said]. Eventually the wife told the husband that she was really amazed with his husband. The way he treated their family. The way he plays with their child. It was totally different. She never saw a man treated their family like he was. Even his father was not so good to her. It was so beautiful. This religion can’t be wrong.

Subhanallah! You can see Islam in the way people communicate and socializing. It was’t just about being in masjid, remembering as many ayah of quran, spits out the knowledge at someone and how many qoutes of scholars you can deliver. It is about how are you living up your life. If people can see that, you are calling them to the taqwa. -UNAK-

I'm not so good when it comes to practical but do pray for me and tell me if I did anything wrong :)

Hagah Lillah

Once there was a blind old begar in the city of Madinah. She spent most of time cursing Muhammad (Pbuh) “Brothers and sisters! Don’t go near Muhammad. He is nothing but an imposter, a witch,  a mad man. If you approach him, you will be under his influence and become like him. ”

When Rasulullah (pbuh) heard about this, he came to him and looked upon him without saying anything. From that day on, Rasulullah began to come to him everyday to tend and feed him without telling him who he was. And the old beggar keep yelling and telling nonsense things abaout Muhammad Pbuh. After Muhammad had passed away, there are nobody to fed the old guy. 

One day, Abu Bakr came to visit her daughter Aisha R.A and asked her whether he has left out any daily habits that has been done before by the prophet. Aisyah R.A answered that her father has not done the daily activities of feeding the old beggar on the corner of the Madinah city market.

Hence, Abubakar RA, came to that old beggar to carry the habit of Rasulullah. He began to feed him for a while but then the beggar was annoyed and shouted angrily to Abubakar R.A, “Who are you feeding me?”

“It is I who always come here to feed you”, answer Abubakar.

“No, you’re not! You’re a different person. The man who always comes here, usually grind the food until it is soft enough for me to chew and then feed me gently with his own hand. You didn’t do the same thing and your hands are different.”

Hearing his words, Abubakar could not help himself but cried. He told him, ” The noble man that always came here to feed you was not here anymore. He has left us to his Rabb.”

“Who was this man?”, asked him, with softer voice. “He is Rasulullaah, Prophet Muhammad sallallahu allaihissalaam.”

Hearing this, the man cried unintentionally. When he finally got a grip of himself, he said “So he was the man that I always cursed and insulted but nevertheless he still tended me so gently and dearly. And I never had the chance to ask for his forgiveness. May Allah forgive me for  my sins.” And at that moment in front of Abubakar as Sidiq he cited the syahadat and converted to Islam.

Ibu dan Cinta

During pregnancy, the level of progesterone is high and cause the lower oesophageal spinchter to relax. So, some of the gastric content will be refluxed into the oesophagus and cause heartburn!

Ini salah satu pengorbanan ibu sejak kita dalam kandungan lagi. Ini belum kira abdominal pain, back pain dll. Jarang orang mencintai seeorang yang telah menyakitkan dia. Kalau orang berchenta dengan kekasih terus putus kalau dah kena tampar. Tapi kalau kena cubit tuh lain sket kot.. eh?  Ibu ni, sayang kat anak dia walaupun anak dia tak keluar lagi ke dunia. An infant starts to develop their emotional and thinking process at the age of 12 months. Punyalah lama nak tunggu cinta berbalas. Kalau saya dah tak sanggup tunggu. Begitu indah kasih sayang Allah SWT kepada setiap hamba-Nya dengan mengurniakan insan yang setia berdamping sejak awal usia kandungan lagi.

 Kepada Inche Ibu. Thanks a lot. Tak tau la camna ibu boleh tahan kerenah kami adik beradik selama ni. Tak tau la camna lagi nak wish thank you. Kalau boleh mahu saja memeluk ufuk timur dan barat nak tunjuk kat ibu yang saya pun sayang. Tapi takda currency dunia yang boleh bayar jasamu. Doakan kami baik2 sahaja di perantauan. May Allah bless you =)

“Dan Tuhanmu telah mewajibkan supaya tidak menyembah selain dari-Nya dan berlaku baik kepada ibu bapa.” (Surah al-Isra’, ayat 23)

#ibu is just another word for love

Hadith: 
Daripada Aisyah RA: bahawa Nabi SAW bangun di waktu malam (bersembahyang) sehingga pecah-pecah kedua kakinya. Aku bertanya kepadanya, “Kenapa engkau lakukan ini wahai Rasulullah SAW? Sedangkan Allah SWT mengampunkan dosa engkau yang terdahulu dan yang terkemudian”. Jawab baginda, “Tidakkah aku suka menjadi seorang hamba yang sentiasa bersyukur?.”

Rasulullah SAW seorang kekasih yang dijanji syurga. Kedudukan beliau sangat tinggi pada mata  Khaliq apa tah lagi makhlukNya.  Tapi janji2 itu tak merobah taat setia nabi. Bahkan menjadikan beliau lebih banyak beribadat. Kita?

Ramai yang dah tau hadis ni tapi tak ramai yang menghayati. Kita ni orang kebanyakan yang bukan sekadar tidak lagi dijanji sorga, nak lepas dari azab kubur pon belum tentu. Tapi berlagak raja tiada sedar diri hamba. Nauzubillah.. Bersyurlah Allah masih bagi lagi rezeki untuk makan dan minum dalam keadaan kita lalai dalam suruhanNya. Make a move ! Shift your paradigme.

Love is Cinta

In Islam, it is not a sin if you feel a special affinity or inclination towards a certain individual since human beings have no control on such natural inclinations.
Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and an Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Basically, having an acclination or special affinity towards a certain individual is not haraam. In fact, Allah told us   (Qur’an, 3;14) ‘Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire’  Allah said that feeling attracted towards the opposing gender is something that Allah has programmed in us so it is normal to have that kind of feeling! But on top of it, what do you deal with that?  We are, however, definitely responsible if we get carried away by such feelings and take specific actions that is forbidden. Islam dictates strict rules in the interaction between male and female. The Prophet (sws) has taught us that it is haram for a non-mahram (unrelated) man and a woman to be alone together. He warns that if this happens, Shaytan (satan) will be present with them. The Prophet (sws) said:  “Whenever a man is alone with a woman the Devil makes a third.” (Sahih Bukhari).   When shaytan starts to whisper all the wonderfull things about love, they will fall into the traps of shaytan.

“Do not come close to zina for it is a shameful (deed) and an evil, opening the road (to other evils).” (Qur’an, 17:32).

Allah do not say  ‘don’t commit  zina’ but don’t ever come near it. One does not simply leave their children on the street hoping that they will not get hit by a car.  One important Islamic principle is: prevention before cure. You do not come close to fire, and then wonder why you got burned. So the solution of the desires is to get married. But marriage is such a complicated things and comes with a lot of great responsibilities. And if the marriage is a result of illecit love relationship like holding each other’s hand, kissing and khilwa.. will loosen up the husband and wife relationship. It is because they had made something which is obviously wrong and built up the foundation of their relationship with the reduced  blessing of Allah.

Besides, these kind of relationship will be a cause to make each party doubful over the other. Is the wife  is having an affair at home while the husband are working pretty hard at the office? And the wife might have the similar thoughts too. Well if the spouse obviously don’t have the fear and loyalty towards Allah why should he or she be fear of His creation? So each partner will live in a state of doubt and suspicion, which will ruin their relationship sooner or later. Marriages that are usually good and lasting marriages are those that start at the least affection. That affection grows after marriage and maybe it will grow until the couples continue their companionship at the Jannah.

A a conclusion, don’t turn love into lust. From what should be a wonderfull relationship to a cursed one by disobeying Allah. Islam taught us that falling in love is not haraam, but the only way of doing it correctly is by marriage. And Allah Subhanah has Himself declared that it is He Who has put love and affection and mercy between the partners in marriage.

And among His Signs is this that He created for you mates from among yourselves,  that ye may dwell in tranquillity with them;  and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts); verily in that are Signs for those who reflect.  (Qur’an, 30:21)

Every products comes out with a manual for it’s users guidance.. Why? Because manufacturer’s knows how the device is gonna work and what is the best for it.. Same goes to us. Allah had put the feeling of love in ourself and the best way to handle it is to follow His guidance.

And Allah knows best.!

Tragedi Subuh!

Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "And if they only knew what was in the prayers of 'Isha' and Subh [fajr], they would come to them even if they had to crawl." [Agreed upon]

Even the highest profession like phisician, architects have to go for refresher seminars and reviews.  So as a muslim, you’ve internalised this really deep profound thing, where do you get your review?

Through solah. Solah is an opportinity for us to refresh our faith constantly. Solah is a pillar of our faith, and there is no such thing as doing too much to ensure that this pillar stands. But the point is waking up for solatul fajr is a kind of hard. It’s more like a tragedy. Most muslim’s spend their night doing unnecessary things and end up waking in the afternoon the next day.

So, this are few tips that might help you to be the soldier’s of Allah in the early morning!

Know who Allah is: This is the key. If you know Who you’re worshipping, you will make him the first instead of dunya. Set in your mind that  He requests that you get up in the morning and pray to Him, you’ll wake up.

Discipline yourlife: Go to sleep early. Don’t spend the whole night watching movies, hanging aroud with your friends till midnight, watching islamic lectures till 2 a.m in the morning. Give the night life up. Let the night be for sleep. At least you are not accumulating sins every night. At least you are not burying your heart with more sins than what you do during the day. At least you are innocent for that moment. If it’s convinient the to take a nap in the afternoon which is also a sunnah and aids in causing a person to wake up for Fajr.

Wudu before sleep: Ibn Abbas reported that Allah’s Messenger said: “Purify these bodies and Allah will purify you, for there is no slave who goes to sleep in a state of purity but an Angel spends the night with him, and every time he turns over, [the Angel] says, ‘O Allah! Forgive Your slave, for he went to bed in a state of purity.” Do you think that such a person would be left to oversleep and miss fajr?

Sincerity: Be sincere about waking up for fajr, don’t just say to yourself: “InshaAllah, it’ll be nice if I wake up for fajr” be sincere about it, and say: “I will wake up for fajr” I find it useful sometimes to talk to myself about it before going to sleep and say: “I will wake up for fajr, i don’t care how, but I’ll definitely will!” And remember to place your alarm further away than the normal. If you used to put it besides you, make it in the living room.

It has a spiritual impact that only people who go to the masjid can feel it. It cannot be explained by words. When you woke up early, you came to the masjid, you ask for Allah’s forgiveness in that early morning,you recite quran and then you stand beside the other believer and countless army of angels, and you stand in front Allah. The spiritual impact is SubhanAllah. The kind of you wish you can do it everyday. But if only you woke up early and give up your night life! -Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan.

Unsung Hero

Bilal bin Rabah, sahabat nabi yang berkulit hitam, adalah muazin pertama dalam Islam dan juga bekas hamba abdi yang dilantik oleh Rasulullah S.A.W untuk melaungkan azan lima kali setiap hari. Sehinggakan apabila tibanya waktu solat, golongan malaikat begitu ternanti-nanti laungan azan dari Bilal. Terdapat satu kisah, saorang sahabat meminta keizinan dari Nabi Muhammad S.A.W untuk melaungkan. Namun, Rasulullah S.A.W agak keberatan untuk membenarkannya. Selepas puas memujuk Rasulullah membenarkannya untuk melaungkan azan Subuh.

Sewaktu ingin menunaikan Solat Zohor, “penduduk langit”  iaitu malaikat turun untuk bertemu Baginda S.A.W dan bertanya kepadanya’  “Wahai Rasulullah, adakah kamu tidak solat Subuh pagi tadi??”. 

Baginda menjawab, “Sudah tentunya aku Solat Subuh pagi tadi.”

Malaikat berkata lagi, “tetapi mengapa kami tidak mendengar azan dilaungkan Subuh tadi??”

Baginda terus berkata, “Bukan Bilal Bin Rabah yang melaungkan azan Subuh pagi tadi tapi sahabatku yang lain.”

Rasa berat hati Rasulullah S.A.W benar-benar ada sebabnya. Baginda S.A.W merasakan hati sahabat tersebut mempunyai masalah menyebabkan laungan azan yang cukup merdu didengar Subuh tadi, dengan penuh tajwid, harakat dan tarannumnya serta penampilannya yang hebatdari segi pakaian, rupa parasnya yang tampan beserta wangiannya yang mahal tidak mampu didengar oleh penghuni langit.

Adapun Bilal Bin Rabah yang kulitnya hitam legam, pakaian yang amat sederhana dan suara tidak semerdu sahabat tadi, azan yang dilaungkannya dapat didengar oleh penghuni langit. Itulah tanda keikhlasan Bilal Bin Rabah.

Kisah Saad bin Muaz

Saad Bin Muaz adalah salah seorang sahabat Rasulullah SAW  yang berkulit hitam pada masa itu malah dikatakan jauh lebih hitam daripada Bilal. Saad memeluk Islam pada usia 31 tahun dan syahid pada usia 37 tahun, seorang yang tinggi iman dan cintanya kepada Allah.

Ketika berhijrah ke Madinah, beliau ingin mendirikan rumah tangga lalu dipinangnya seorang perempuan di Madinah.  Disebabkan kulitnya yang hitam, pinangannya ditolak berkali-kali. Rasa kecewa menyelebungi lalu mendatangi Rasulullah untuk mengadu, “Wahai Rasulullah, adakah hinanya aku ini kerana berkulit hitam sehingga pinanganku ditolak  berkali-kali?". Lalu, Rasulullah berkata, “Jangan bimbang Saad, engkau adalah orang yang aku jamin”. 

Lalu, Saad dibawa oleh sahabat-sahabat ke rumah wanita yang cantik di Madinah itu. Mereka dilayan dengan baik oleh bapa wanita tersebut. Di saat hajat mereka disampaikan untuk meminang anaknya, si bapa sangatlah gembira kerana menyangka anaknya dipinang oleh  Rasulullah. Kejujuran Saad menyatakan bahawa beliaulah yang ingin meminang anaknya itu. Si bapa menjadi marah dan menghina Saad yang berkulit hitam ingin berkahwin dengan anaknya yang cantik.

Perempuan tersebut menegur bapanya kerana menolak pinangan Saad Bin Muaz yang merupakan seorang yang dijamin oleh Rasulullah. Lalu, si bapa pergi mengejar  Saad dan meminta maaf serta menerima pinangan Saad di depan Rasulullah. 

Dan Rasulullah menyuruh Saad membeli kelengkapan perkahwinannya. Ketika sedang membeli keperluan perkahwinan, Saad terdengar seruan jihad daripada Rasulullah, “Wahai pemuda2 Islam, bersiap siaga segera kerana musuh sedang datang untuk menyerang kita." Lalu, Saad menukar fikiran dengan membeli kelengkapan perang, baju perisai dan kuda.

Saad segera pergi berbaris paling hadapan dengan sahabat-sahabat yang lain . Disebabkan baju perisai yang lengkap, Saad tidak dikenali . Takdir Allah, Saad  syahid  dalam peperangan tersebut. Berita syahidnya Saad disampaikan kepada Rasulullah.

Rasulullah berkata, “Di saat kematian Saad bergegar Arasy Allah dan menangis para malaikat di langit dan di bumi”. Saad Bin Muaz dimuliakan oleh Allah di saat kematiannya walaupun hanya 6 tahun jangka hayatnya dalam Islam.

Kisah2 ini sememangnya di kopi pes tapi nak habaq kat suma yang paras rupa, harta, kedudukan tak menjamin kedudukan yang mulia di sisi Allah.. Hatta yang mulia di mata manusia belum tentu mulia di sisi Allah.. Kedua2 orang sahabat ini telah bagi suatu ibrah yang sangat hebat kepada kita semua.. Dikatakan ketika Bilal diseksa hanya seruan shahadah sahaja yang telah turun. Tapi cintanya tiada dusta kepada Allah. Tapi kita dah komplete rukun islam berlima masih terkial2 dalam penghayatan... jom jd insan bertaqwa!
