Mencari Keberkatan

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

i was informed about a ceramah by a friend (thank you), kt masjid usm, i supposed its due to the awal muharram. the topic given was 'mencari keberkatan dlm pelajaran' (well.. all of us are students), but kupasan die more on 'mencari keberkatan dlm kehidupan'. nway, i'll shaare my notes, altho actually the points are quite basic n i'm sure everyone pun dh tahu, but it's still good to revise.

there are 3 main things that we really should jaga:

1. Niat

the ustaz stress on hadith 1 (innamal a'malubin niat).. in most kitab yg compile hadith, this is the 1st hadith yg akan dibicarakan (ust tu kata lah).. but its true that 'setiap amalan bermula dgn niat'. hadith ini diturunkn due to hijrah Rasul n sahabat fr mekah to madinah. as the hijrah means lots of sacrifices (tinggal keluarga, harta, kg halaman without any jaminan penerimaan dr madinah), we shud expect ganjaran yg besar dr Allah. tp tidak. kerana 'jika hijrah kerana Allah n Rasul, maka hijrah itu diterima Allah n Rasul', tapi ada yg berhijrah kerana 'dunia yg ingin dimiliki n wanita yg ingin dikahwini',maka itu lah yg mereka dpt. samalah spt dlm 1 jemaah solat, setiap indivitu akan mendapat ganjaran yg berbeza, bergantung kpd niat masing2. dr niat kerana Allah itu, akan timbulnya keikhlasan, dan dari situ lah akan tercapainya keberkatan Ilahi. iA.

2. Hubungan dgn Allah

i dont think this 1 need further huraian (actually i dont hv anything to say. faham2 sendiri). iman naik n turun. tp kita boleh berusaha utk mendekatkan diri dgnNya. jaga solat. jaga Qur'an. (pesanan mama n abah to us all the time).

3. Hubungan dgn manusia

1 interesting point yg ustaz ckp is 'manusia yg plg hampir dgn kita ialah Rasulullah'. but he didnt explain further. i though mayb throughout daily lives, we should make him as an example kot (wallahua'lam). nnti email die suruh dia explain lagi. owh.. hopefully semua org tahu yg bila org sebut nama Rasul, kita kene selawat (SAW).. nnti jd sebakhil2 manusia.. ust ada tambah 'hub dgn guru'n 'hub dgn sahabat', but sbb 'guru n sahabat' pun 'manusia', so me letak under point nih je lah.

*xsempat nk hurai panjang2. limited access towards internet (sy dlm lab.. huhu)

Salam Maal Hijrah 1431

baca doa akhir tahun dulu...

pastu baru baca doa awal tahun =)

Friends

Friends come and go.. partially, i agree. some are like that.
sometimes, our bestfriends hv their own 'another' bestfriends.. which always managed to gv me a wierd feeling. altho i'm also like that. i mean, i hv few close friends during my high school. n another close friends during my matrix, n of course diff ones in uni. n my bestfriends during school will find another friends in matrix n uni.. n almost all of them, i didnt know (except mayb few). n as i also hv many 'guy' friends b4, it's unapproriate to be close with any guy as i'm married, n some of them are also married.

i realized that sooner or later, everyone will hv their own lives. lives that hardly include me. n somehow, that thought managed to make me feel 'lonely'. n as i managed to 'mencampakkan' diri to kelantan, i hardly able to meet most of my friends. altho i do hv friends (which i declare 'close') there, but they also hv their own friends. i dont know whether to believe 'absence makes heart grows fonder' or 'estrange by distance'. maybe if a short while, i'll be the 1st.. n aft sometimes, it'll become the later. usually, i make friends easily, but maybe its true that 'easy comes, easy go'.

nway.. i dont actually know which is my main point. huhu.. it keeps raining, and i'll be alone in this big house for few more days (n it do makes me feel lonely *sigh..). wish i can go out, but my car is not here.

my bestfriend masa f3 is getting married. congratulations dear! selalu anggap die bdk kecik (walaupun sama umur).. so its hard to register that she's getting married. nway, i wish her happiness.

ps: ini adalah contoh karangan yg bakal mendapat markah yg sikit kerana point tidak disusun dgn betul n gaya bahasa yg mengelirukan pembaca.

ntah la

Assalamualaikum..

dah lama x update blog. sometimes duk ngadap, tp kekeringan idea.. sometimes ade mende nk tulis, tp xde masa nak ngadap.. been bz with study (kdg2 xde la bz sgt, tp sbb mood nk wat keje tu dtg lambat sket, so bila tiba2 ada byk mende nk kene wat, mula laa kelam-kabut).. n last few weeks was that 'kelam-kabut' stage. suddenly byk keje nk kene buat, n sedar x sedar, masuk minggu ke 3 x balik umah masa weekend. sedih je. so marathon wat keje dgn jayanya, n drive fr KB to kemaman on thursday evening. siap amik sunday off lagi.. huhu.. (but end up being alone kat umah on sunday sbb semua org pun ade projek lain.. sob sob..)

* moral of the story, semua mende yg nk buat kene ada perancangan, jgn aci main redah je - nnti akan mengganggu kesihatan emosi n jasmani..

ps: saya kurang sihat skrg, jd saya nyer emosi agak x stabil.. blood pressure pun selalu low.. n nk gi derma darah last time (sbb stok O+ kt husm kekeringan), tp haemoglobin sy low.. pastu sy tau utk menaikkan Hb sy, sy kene makan daging ke, kerang ke, bayam ke.. tp semua tu sy xleh makan.. haih.. ada nikmat yg Allah tarik utk uji hambaNya.. owh, btw, PEMBINA kelantan akan menganjurkan tabung derma darah this coming sat (21st Nov), 9am, @ unit tranfusi (tabung darah), husm.. sila2 la menderma..

ps lagi: zauj sy akan pindak ke klang ^^ (yay!!) walaupun jauh gk fr KB, tp at least x terasa jauh mcm KB-JB. cepat laa habis master sy nih.. penat nk kene ulang-alik.. nnti dh habis phd sy nk jd surirumah.. hohoho (semoga xde org2 yg incharge ngan biasiswa sy baca entry nih)..

dah laa.. entry ini sgt merepek.. n x membawa kepada amal.. *dush..

Milky Strawberry Smoothies

I've developed a crave for ice-blended... hoho... especially in this hot weather (it's seriously hot at home now.. but u expect to get thunderstorm at nights).. tried ice-blended peaches for breaking fast yesterday, but it doesnt taste as good as this ice-blended strawberry i'm drinking now ^^ (call it smoothies as i add some milk )..

i seriously dont know 'why' i never make ice-blended or smoothies b4, as it is soo easy (i do make milk shake though... thanks to bidadari besi who gave me the alat-yg-awe-xtau-nk-panggil-ape, but can be used to make froth.. huhu).. owh, i know, sbb b4 this i thought i need special blender.. hehe.. rupa2nyer blh guna blender mesin bawang kt dapur tu je.. (make sure it's clean though)..

as my parents just came back from cameron, we got heaps of strawberry in the fridge.. but it doesnt taste that sweet, so apart from eating it with choc, i make it into ice-blended and smoothies. my sister want to eat cheese cake (u know, cheese cake looks yummier with strawbery on top.. but cream cheese is too expensive.. so i ignore her -at least until my dad go shopping.. hehe).

ok, back to the smoothies.. in the blender, put strawberries (ikut suke laa byk mane), pour in some milk (i dont hv fresh, so used evaporated instead). then add in around a glass of ice cubes.. as the strawberries arent that sweet, i add in few teaspoons of sugar. blend it, and.. tadaaaa! here is the yummy milky strawberry smoothies =)

dont exceed a glass per day if you care about your waistline.. hehe... (owh, also if u care about your health).. need to maintain my BMI of 21-22.. kalu x, jd chubby mcm kt nz.. huhu

Keep fighting! for those yg ada exam =)

My favourite poem (i've dedicated this to pemudiDD n my zauj b4 ^^)

Post it so all my juniors n friends will continue fighting for their exam..

Usaha + tawakkal... banyakkan doa, jaga hubungan dengan Allah, dan hubungan sesama manusia.. insyaAllah, dipermudahkan..

Learning isn't easy..
frustration tends to set in quickly.
you hurt.
you feel defeated.
you want to give up-
to quit.
you want to walk away
and pretend it doesn't matter.
but you won't,
because you are not a loser-
you are a fighter..

We all have to lose sometimes
before we can win.
We have to cry sometimes
before we can smile.
We have to hurt
before we can be strong.
But if you keep on working
and believing,
you'll have victory
in the end.'

1st recipe on the Blog! : Peach Cobbler ^^

i've been wanting to eat peach cobbler ever since i read hlovate's blog.. hoho.. (if u know what i mean lah..), and that is few years back.. just google 'peach cobbler' and all types of recipe will appear. but if u know how i am in the kitchen, u'll know that i'm someone that masak 'ikut sesuka hati and main campak2'.. huhu... anyway, usually i dont really follow the recipe i found, but more to 'try and error' (patut laa my peach cobbler b4 this turn out soggy.. nges nges).. but yesterday's peach cobbler is perfect =D (for my standard laa ;p).. so, b4 i forgot how i bake it, i better type it down.

The recipe

110g butter ( kat kedai jual 250g)
1 c flour
3/4 c sugar (fine is better)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 c milk (fresh, condensed, anything u like)
1 tbs vanilla
1 canned peach (drained- kat kedai ada yg around 800g tin die, aft drained dpt aa 400g++ buah pic)
cinnamon powder (to your liking)


How to make it:

1. Combine flour + sugar + baking powder (xyah sieve pun xpe)
2. Pour in milk and vanilla. Gaul2
3. Melt butter in the tray (me masukkan terus dlm loyang masa tgh panaskan oven.. huhu)
4. Pour in no.2 into that melted butter, kacau sket.. dont need to gaul sepenuh hati.. the butter will rise on top. dont worry about it.


5. Sliced the peaches sesuka hati. maybe one whole can is too much (an excuse to myself as i eat few slices - cant help it.. hehe... )
6. Arrange the peaches in tray. it will sink partially.
7. Sprinkle cinnamon powder on top.
8. bake 180 degree C, around 40min. (cam biasa laa, prick with fork, if comes clean, then it's cook =), owh, i wait till it brown on top )

Done! easy, right?

my peach cobbler ^^ it looks yummier aft being served on plate.. owh, u scoop it, bukannyer cut mcm kek. next time i'll try to serve it with custard (teringat eba nyer custard that goes with her yummy apple crumble.. or is it apple pie.. i forgot.. hehe)..

if al-Azhar pun dh x blh pakai purdah...tmpt lain camner??

i used to tell my hubby: "u can ask me to wear jilbab, but dont ask me to wear purdah" (due to the fact that he loves to give hint about wanting me to wear purdah, yg mana me always managed to berpura2 wat x paham.. nges nges).. but this news, that stated its a symbol of oppression, n xde kene mengena dgn islam really2 make me feel .... (xtau nk guna words ape yg menggambarkn 'bengang', but doesnt sound that 'kurang sopan'.. ).. nway, here's a copy from Utusan.

Tantawi haramkan purdah

KAHERAH 9 Okt. - Imam besar Mesir, Mohammed Sayyed Tantawi (gambar) berkata, para pelajar dan guru-guru tidak lagi dibenarkan memakai purdah di dalam kelas dan asrama institusi pengajian Islam terulung, al-Azhar sebagai sebahagian daripada usaha kerajaan untuk menangani amalan radikal dalam Islam.

Tantawi yang juga merupakan ketua al-Azhar mengumumkan perkara itu, beberapa hari selepas beliau membuat kenyataan: purdah atau niqab 'tiada kena mengena dengan Islam'.
Tindakan beliau itu telah mencetuskan bantahan kuat daripada golongan yang menganggapnya sebagai satu serangan terhadap Islam serta beberapa pertubuhan hak asasi yang menganggap pengharaman niqab mencabuli kebebasan berperlembagaan.

Isu sebanyak mana tubuh wanita Islam perlu ditutup telah menjadi isu yang kerap dipertikai antara tokoh Islam. Kebanyakan mereka menyatakan purdah tidak diperlukan kerana ia sekadar satu adat kaum nomad di gurun-gurun Arab sebelum kedatangan Islam.

Kebanyakan wanita Islam di Mesir memakai tudung atau hijab yang melindungi rambut, tetapi niqab semakin popular di Kaherah kebelakangan ini sehingga menimbulkan kebimbangan kerajaan.

Sementara itu, di Toronto, pertubuhan penduduk Islam Kanada menggesa kerajaan mengharamkan pakaian tradisional yang menutup muka, dengan menyatakan ia adalah simbol penindasan terhadap wanita oleh golongan radikal yang tidak mempunyai asas dalam Islam.
Kongres Islam Kanada mendesak pengharaman tersebut kerana menurut mereka, amalan menutup wajah tidak sewajarnya wujud dalam masyarakat yang menyokong hak sama rata antara jantina.

"Masyarakat Islam seluruh dunia tahu bahawa pakaian yang menindas wanita ini dipromosikan oleh Taliban dan al-Qaeda," kata pengasas kumpulan tersebut, Tarek Fatah. Katanya, pengharaman tersebut tidak boleh meliputi hijab, iaitu pakaian tradisional yang tidak menutup wajah.

Tambahnya, tidak ada dalam mana-mana teks Islam termasuk Al-Quran, yang menyuruh wanita menutup wajah termasuk undang-undang Syariah yang paling konservatif.

Iman besar Mesir ni pun satu... ape ntah masalah die.. tension je. orang nk pakai, biar laa.. baru je berangan2 nk pakai purdah time gi mesir (bile ntah... murah rezeki sampai laa.. sekali ngn wat haji.. aminn.. )

Puasa 6 di bulan Syawal

مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ سِتًّا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ كَانَ كَصِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ

.

“Barang siapa yang berpuasa Ramadhan kemudian berpuasa enam hari di bulan Syawal, maka dia berpuasa seperti setahun penuh.” (HR. Muslim)

the gift of 'keinsafan'

" dia cakap nak datang dgn 2 orang abang..xpe, ke?"

i scribble a note on my ever-messy persala note book.. calculating the budget in my head. that early morning, instead of going to lab, i went to SKK (3). doing last minutes job for our majlis berbuka puasa with anak2 yatim that will take place that evening kat pusat islam, usm.

" bdk ni mmg susah.. mak dia miskin, ayah dia tinggalkn dia. pastu dia xleh jalan, sbb tu abg dia kene dtg sekali".. pk hem of SKK (3) cont explaining. i gave her a smile and said it shud be ok. we already allocate xtra food for the event.

aft thanking ph hem, we (me and another friend) follow ustazah na (forgot her name) to the class.. chomey je tgk bdk2 kecik tgh belajar. went from class to class, amik the orphans' cloth measurement. we are really thankful, last2 minutes, ramai yg donate for the events. few lecturers donate RM500 each! (smg Allah murahkan rezeki those people).. with that, we managed to buy baju raya for all those orphans from a poor family.

aft touring few blocks, we arrived kat year 1 nyer class.. i saw a boy sitting 'on' the table. the 1st thing yg terlintas is "ish, nakal sungguh!".. but after a few moment, i realized.. that is the OKU boy who cant walk n will come wih his 2 brothers tonight. he gave me a curious smile when i enter the class.. n my heart does a funny jolt when looking at his small, very innocent face.. he cant sit on the chair while learning, as his lower body is small, making the table too high for him to write. but i'm impress, looking at his determination to study.. n impress by how the other classmates treat him. in other classes, the tables were arranged two by two.. but they dekatkan 6 tables kat depan, so it's easier for him to move.

we didnt talk much, as i dont have enough time. but i found myself looking forward to meet him that evening.

like any other time when handling an event, stress often builds up time2 last minute. penat, tension, penat lagi.. tambah2 dgn puasa.. ke sana ke mari settlekan the goody bag, duit raya, mc tiba2 xleh jd mc, perasmi wat hal, vip xdpt nk contact utk confirmkn kehadiran.. etc etc.... but, all the stress + penat yg hampir2 wat awe nangis, really vanish when i saw how excited those children when they received their goody bags with baju-kuih-and duit raya. and i know, people with 'hearts' will be moved by the sights of the 2 siblings- the OKU boy, being carried by his brother, receiving the goody bags...

the prog teaches me to be grateful.. be grateful of the wellness of my body, and being thankful for the family that i have, and being thankful diatas kesenangan hidup yg dikurniakan..

in the middle of that 'perasaan terharu'.. i was nearly brought into tears again.. suddenly being approached by a pakcik. saying that he's late, just arrived, so his son doesnt make it masa penyampaian sumbangan raya. i rushed n searched for goody bag with his son's name. the moment when i gave him the goody bag only i realized that pakcik's condition. he smiles and thank me, receiving the bag with his hardly-can-be-moved hands, and limping away.. his right leg cant move well.. i stand there looking at him until he was out of my sight.. and feeling very thankful that at least, i did smtg for these people.. i remember what the vice president told me when i question why didnt we focus on the orphans kat umah anak2 yatim, n she told me that, people usually see orphanges houses, a lot of people donate (during ramadhan) to umah anak2 yatim, but not these children whose still have a mum or dad, and from a very poor family..

nway.. i pray that Allah will give them strength to face this test of life. and i pray that the people out there will do their parts in helping the needy ones. i'm still thinking what else we can do to help them.. (planning to adopt that OKU boy.. huhu... wonder whether my husband will agree.. )

Malam Lailatul Qadar

Sesungguhnya Kami telah menurunkan (Al-Quran) ini pada Malam Lailatul-Qadar, Dan apa jalannya engkau dapat mengetahui apa dia kebesaran Malam Lailatul-Qadar itu? Malam Lailatul-Qadar lebih baik daripada seribu bulan [97:1-3]

Narrated Abu Salama:
I asked Abu Sa'id, and he was a friend of mine, (about the Night of Qadr) and he said, "We practiced Itikaf (seclusion in the mosque) in the middle third of the month of Ramadan with the Prophet . In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan, the Prophet came and addressed us and said, 'I was informed of (the date of the Night of Qadr) but I was caused to forget it; so search for it in the odd nights of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. (In the dream) I saw myself prostrating in mud and water (as a sign). So, whoever was in l'tikaf with me should return to it with me (for another 10-day's period)', and we returned. At that time there was no sign of clouds in the sky but suddenly a cloud came and it rained till rain-water started leaking through the roof of the mosque which was made of date-palm leaf stalks. Then the prayer was established and I saw Allah's Apostle prostrating in mud and water and I saw the traces of mud on his forehead." [HR Bukhari]

*fastabiqul khairat.. 'berlumba-lumbalah kamu membuat kebaikan'...

once a friend.. forever a friend (?)

it’s funny how our emotions managed to sway easily. It’s like suddenly you feel like crying for the simplest absurd reasons. One moment you are OK, and the other moment you feel like everything is wrong.. (yes.. i’m in that not soo wonderful emo state.. urghh... ) *keep reminding myself that ‘ingat Allah hati jadi tenang’..

today i ‘was reminded’ about one of my best friends in high school (we are the trio oh!-so-glamour-top-students-in-everything <-- it was then though).. i always respect those girl friends that stick together comes tide or high-water, because it seems that friendship is something that very hard to preserve.. you hold them too tight, it will suffocate them, but if loose, they will think that you dont care. Dont get me wrong, i have many wonderful girl friends that i love and care for (and i know they love me *heh heh).. but being in this emo-state (giving excuse to myself), those minority type of friends always manage to make me cry to sleep. It’s something that you just cant understand; there’s nothing wrong between both of you, you sms each other, you email each other, you meet during holidays, then suddenly.. *vanish* just like that. Once in a while, u receive ‘oh, sorry, i’m too busy’ email n sms as a reply.. *sigh... its a painful feeling, really, when a friend emit those ‘tak nak kawan dah’ sign.. uh uh, being emo is not good.. but to my dear friend, even if you are ‘too busy’, you should at least congratulate your ‘once-you-claimed-your-bestfriend’s wedding (altho its been a month)..

.

nway, sorry for the merepek entry.. it’s just that i need to write everything down to feel better -supaya my zauj x perlu berdepan with awe yg emo (eventho on phone)... huhu..-. trying my best to show the good side of me, as adviced by Asma’ binti Kharijah r.a when her daughter is about to get married: “Engkau akan keluar dari kehidupan yang mana engkau membesar didalamnya. Engkau akan pergi ke tempat tidur, di mana kami tidak mengenalinya dan teman yang belum tentu menyayangimu. Jadilah kamu seperti bumi bagi suamimu, maka ia menjadi langit bagimu. Jadilah kamu seperti tanah yang datar baginya, maka ia akan menjadi tiang bagimu. Jadilah kamu di hadapannya seperti budah perempuan, maka ia akan menjadi seorang hamba bagimu. Janganlah kamu menutupi diri darinya, akibatnya ia bisa melemparmu. Jangan pula kamu menjauhinya yang bisa mengakibatkan ia melupakanmu. Jika ia mendekat kepadamu, maka kamu harus lebih mengakrabinya. Jika ia menjauh, maka menjauhilah ia dengan baik. Janganlah kami menilainya kecuali dalam hal-hal yang baik saja. Dan janganlah kamu mendengarkannya kecuali yang baik, dan janganla ia melihat kecuali yang indah pada dirimu.”

hoho.... berjaya sway from the topic (like always)..

okies.. feeling better. so back to work! BERUSAHA!!

Ramadhan Al-Mubarak

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

hari ni dah masuk 8 hari dlm bulan Ramadhan (Alhamdulillah).. tp skrg baru la nk betul2 wat entry utk Ramadhan. x cukup ilmu lagi nk menulis sebenarnya. but here is what i obtained from the Ramadhan handouts from Jabatan Mufti Selangor (moga Allah memberkati usaha mereka).

Dalil Wajib Puasa

"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, diwajibkan kamu berpuasa sebagaimana diwajibkan ke atas orang yang terdahulu daripada kamu, supaya kamu bertakwa" [Al-Baqarah : 183]

"Daripada Ibnu Umar dari Nabi Muhammad s.a.w bersabda; Islam itu dibina atas lima perkara, bersaksi tiada tuhan selain Allah dan Nabi Muhammad itu pesuruh Allah, mendirikan sembahyang, membayar zakat, menunaikan haji dan puasa pada bulan Ramadhan" (Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

Lafaz Niat

Lafaz niat puasa bulan Ramadhan

“Sahaja aku berpuasa esok hari kerana menunaikan fardhu bulan Ramadhan pada tahun ini kerana Allah Taala”.

Lafaz niat puasa Ramadhan sepenuhnya (sebulan):

"Sahaja aku berpuasa untuk sebulan, bulan Ramadhan pada tahun ini kerana Allah Taala".

Hikmah Puasa

These are only few of the hikmah for fasting:

1. Menandakan kesyukuran kepada Allah
2. Melatih diri dengan sifat-sifat mahmudah (terpuji seperti sabar, tabah, amanah dan sebagainya).
3. Meningkatkan kesihatan diri (fasting lowers your blood sugar, your weight, n your blood pressure- baru je dgr ceramah bout this.. owh, but dont tersalah niat puasa utk 'turunkn berat badan ;) hehe )
5. Mendapat dua kegembiraan iaitu ketika berbuka (also hari raya) dan ketika berjumpa dengan tuhannya pada hari kiamat.
6. Menjauhkan dari sifat-sifat Mazmumah (keji) sepert tamak, sombong hasad dengki dan sebagainya.

Ramadhan: bulan yg penuh berkat

Ever wonder why dlm bln puasa we manage to read Qur'an at least 1 juzu' per day?

*sbb xde syaitan nk kacau ;) [well... thats why bila bulan puasa pun terasa mcm jahat gak, tu maknanya there's smtg from with our ownselves laa.. sbb syaitan dh xde nk kacau)

"Apabila bulan Ramadhan telah datang maka dibukalah pintu-pintu syurga, dihapuslah pintu-pintu neraka dan di ikatlah semua syaitan” (Hadis riwayat dari Abu Hurairah r.a)

Ramadhan also bulan utk menghapuskan dosa =)

Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda, "sesiapa berpuasa Ramadhan dan berjaga malamnya dengan penuh kepercayaan dan ketelusan ikhlasnya nescaya diampunkan dosanya yang telah lalu" (Riwayat Bukhari )

Doa Berbuka Puasa

* one of the doa yg awe susah btul nk ingat (xtau laa knp.. sbb setahun sekali hafal kot.. huhu... skrg letak dlm hp nyer notes.. huhu)

“Ya Allah, kerana-Mu aku berpuasa, dengan-Mu aku beriman, dengan rezeki-Mu aku berbuka, dengan rahmat-Mu Ya Allah yang Maha mengasihani”.

SELAMAT MENERUSKAN IBADAT PUASA TO ALL.. MOGA TARBIYYAH YG DITERIMA MENJADIKAN KITA HAMBA-NYA YANG LEBIH BAIK.. IA..

begitu sukar kah?

'cepat sket la.. byk keje nk wat'

.

'xpe laa.. semayang laa dulu, nk baring jap'

.

'....' (xde respon)

.

even time Ramadhan pun, those are the common respons yg i received bila ajak orang solat berjemaah. terkilan gak.. if dulu2 yg susah sket nk suruh jadi imam, but skrg, dh volunteer utk imam, nk ajak jd makmum pun susah. sometimes, when i said 'jom laa semayang sekali/sama-sama', it seems like that statement is just too wierd to comprehend... yg paling lucu is when i received an enquiry "awe dulu sekolah agama, ke?".

.

azam n plan Ramadhan utk lab punye laa tinggi.. nk ajak semua solat awal waktu bjemaah, nak tadarus, nk tazkirah pendek.. huhu... kdg2 teragak2 btw nk solat awal waktu n nak tunggu org jemaah. arini solat lambat sket.. xpelah.. sbb ada akak yg nk solat sama2, so tunggu je la dia (Alhamdulillah, jemaah jugak). sambil2 tu, baca Qur'an. i really dont know how to tell people 'off' (kasar je bunyi), but then, really test our patient laa, when i was reciting Qur'an, people keep bersembang di kiri n kanan. when reciting Qur'an, at least i can raise my voice masa tgh2 mngaji, to let them realize (as if they dont already know) that me tgh mengaji, but yg plg x tahan is when people keep talking loudly when there are someone praying (tensi je..).. sampai ada yg decide utk semyang lambat (so that people clear off n dh x bising)..

.

moga Allah memberikan kekuatan utk merubah keadaan.. [BERUSAHA!]

.

Duduk dan beriman sejenak..

"Para da'i mukmin sentiasa terdedah kepada dua tarikan: Tarikan keimanan, niat, kesungguhan dan kesedarannya terhadap tanggungjawab. Dengan itu dia berada dalam amal salih dan azam kebaikan. Tarikan syaitan pula dari sudut yang lain, menghiasi futurnya dan menghiasi cintanya kepada dunia. Menyebabkan dia berada dalam kelalaian, malas, panjang angan-angan dan berlengah-lengah dalam mempelajari apa yang tidak diketahuinya."

"Berulang-alik di antara kedua-dua tarikan ini adalah suatu yang sudah ditentukan oleh Allah, tidak akan berhenti, terus berlaku. Oleh kerana itulah, orang-orang yang beriman telah mewajibkan kepada diri mereka untuk menghadiri majlis-majlis tafakkur dan saling nasihat-menasihati di antara satu sama lain. Memeriksa diri daripada dihinggapi penyakit takabbur atau menolak kebenaran. Memeriksa hati daripada diselubungi penyelewengan. Memeriksa ilmu dan iman daripada tergelincir yang membawa kepada bid'ah atau kecuaian yang membawa kepada meninggalkan mana-mana perintah Allah dan petunjuk."

.

Al-Munthalaq, Muhammad Ahmad al-Rasyid

.

Al-Munthalaq is one of the readings that i like to read and re-read (especially bila terasa aura2 futur dalam diri). Today, i realized that dah lama x solat sunat dhuha =( [terasa sgt teruk.. sob sob]. bukannya bz sgt2 pun (x busy kah?.. kalu tgk facebook n friendster sempat, xkan solat dhuha x sempat awe oii). Alhamdulillah, Allah ketuk jugak hati ni.. rasa lain je solat dhuha kat lab (ade ruang utk sembahyang kt lab nih.. but then, biasa org guna utk solat zohor n asar je.. masa2 lain ruang tu org lalu-lalang wat keje..).

.

Moga Allah berikan lebih kekuatan utk istiqamah dlm amalan.. amiinn..

.

*tgh cuba dapatkan feels Ramadhan. 1st Ramadhan insyaAllah kat kemaman.

My Engagement Ring- 8th Feb '09

I'm totally.. really.. really freaking out.. huhu...

(that's the best word to describe my feeling.. )

.

Okayy.. that's my countdown (that's been counting down each day since last few months fr my Yahoo! Wedding Countdown Widget). Termasuk hari ni tinggal 8 hari je.. seriously.. bukan setakat stage cuak je nih.. dah melebihi paras cuak, siap nightmare malam2.. crazy! i've been thinking too much, that must be the case.

.

it's not that i'm worried about whether i can be a good wife or not.. insyaAllah ok je (overconfident kah?).. for now, it's more on the persiapan walimah/kenduri itself. checklist dah byk kali tgk, tp xtau laa... freaking out coz it will involve nama family, if something went wrong (hopefully tak), asyik fikir nnti nasi cukup ke tak laa, door gift nk kene tambah ke x..etc etc... saje2 mngade nk share the burden, called him (awe yg nak kene tazkirah lebih), but end up kene tazkirah 'ni, cakap nih, ade 'orang ke-3' '.. so, terpaksa laa ckp 'ye la..ye la...babai'.. haha.. memalukan diri sendiri je ;p [nway.. thank you =) ]

.

*entry nih saje2 utk share my burden.. huhu...

Dan di antara tanda-tanda yang membuktikan kekuasaannya dan rahmatNya, bahawa Ia menciptakan untuk kamu (wahai kaum lelaki), isteri-isteri dari jenis kamu sendiri, supaya kamu bersenang hati dan hidup mesra dengannya, dan dijadikanNya di antara kamu (suami isteri) perasaan kasih sayang dan belas kasihan. Sesungguhnya yang demikian itu mengandungi keterangan-keterangan (yang menimbulkan kesedaran) bagi orang-orang yang berfikir [Ar-Rum,30:021]

.
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim....

.

One of the things that had been determined by Him when we enter this world is our better half. the person, who according to the holy Qur'an, resembles ourselves; our behavior; matching our personalities..
.

"(Lazimnya) perempuan-perempuan yang jahat adalah untuk lelaki-lelaki yang jahat, dan lelaki-lelaki yang jahat untuk perempuan-perempuan yang jahat; dan (sebaliknya) perempuan-perempuan yang baik untuk lelaki-lelaki yang baik, dan lelaki-lelaki yang baik untuk perempuan-perempuan yang baik. Mereka (yang baik) itu adalah bersih dari (tuduhan buruk) yang dikatakan oleh orang-orang (yang jahat); mereka (yang baik) itu akan beroleh pengampunan (dari Allah) dan pengurniaan yang mulia." [An-Nur,24:026].
.

It is true that as a girl, or i might say, woman.. we expect our partner to guide us, to be better than us, to always be the one who advice, correct us when we are wrong.. but, it wont happen that way. we know that Allah is Maha Adil.. so, we need to make sure that we become a better person, in order for us to receive what is 'adil' for us.
.

May all of us become that "perempuan-perempuan yang baik".. insyaAllah... n semoga kami berdua juga tergolong dalam golongan2 yg 'baik'.. amiinn..
.

With that, I would like to 'inform' (as some of you definitely wont be able to come), about our walimah.

Duhai wanita..

4 Golongan Lelaki Yg Ditarik Wanita ke Jurang Neraka

.

Diakhirat kelak, apabila seorang wanita dicampakkan ke dalam api neraka, dia akan menarik 4 golongan lelaki bersama2 nya:

.

1. Ayah.

- seorang yg bergelar ayah mempunyai tanggung-jawab mendidik anak2, membentuk mereka menjadi anak yg soleh dan solehah. apabila tanggung-jawab tidak tertunai, anak2 dibiarkan leka dalam kemewahan, alpa dalam mendirikan solat, menunaikan tuntutan agama, tidak menutup aurat.. maka diakhirat kelak, ayah adalah org pertama yang akan ditarik ke jurang neraka jahanam.

.

2. Suami.

- apabila telah berkahwin seorang wanita, tanggung-jawab utk mendidiknya beralih kepada suami. apabila suami membiarkan isteri bebas bergaul di tempat kerja, menghias diri utk pandangan umum, dan mendiamkn diri apabila isteri tidak melaksanakan tuntutan agama. biar sealim mana pun suami itu, tetap akan ditarik oleh isterinya ke neraka.

.

3. Abang-abang.

- apabila ayah sudah tiada, maruah seorg wanita jatuh ke bahu saudara lelakinya. most of the time, meraka hanya mementingkan keluarga sendiri, dan membiarkn adik perempuan melencong tanpa ajaran islam.

.

4. Anak lelaki.

- ironi nya, syurga ditelapak kaki ibu.. tp, ibu jua lah yg akan menarik anak lelaki ke neraka, jika seorang anak tidak menasihati ibunya dari membuat perkara2 mungkar spt mengata2, mengumpat..

.

Wahai wanita.. kasihanilah ayahandamu, suamimu, kekanda-kekandamu, serta putera-puteramu.. kasihanilah dirimu sendiri

.

-diolah dari buku 'Bunga Kebahagiaan', karangan Tn. Guru Nik Aziz Nik Mat.

Peringatan buat diri

Once, kiteorg pernah wat 'lakonan hadith' masa jaulah. bout the diff btw org yg sabar n kurang sabar.. after thinking for sometimes (my muhasabah always occur quite sometimes aft the incident), i categorized myself under 'kurang sabar'. i tension2 1st, mengamuk2 dulu (in my own way.. biasanyer not smtg physically).. then, baru i think rationally, n 'bersabar'.. uh uh.... berusaha lg utk mmbaiki diri.. then, spy biasa, search for any readings yg blh memberi nasihat kpd diri sendiri (i miss my usrah group.. sob sob... eventho dh ada group usrah kat sini)..

.

Here's a quote fr a book that i read. *still need to find the source of hadith.

.

"Kebanyakkan wanita itu adalah isi neraka dan kayu api." Hazrat Aishah bertanya, "Mengapa wahai Rasulullah s.a.w.?" Jawab Rasulullah s.a.w. :

.

i. Kerana kebanyakan perempuan itu tidak sabar dalam menghadapi kesusahan, kesakitan dan cubaan seperti kesakitan melahirkan anak, mendidik anak-anak dan melayani suami serta melakukan kerja-kerjarumah.

... part nih yg paling terkena kat diri sendiri. baru je Allah uji sket, dh emo2 n tension2.. "jauhkanlah kami dr azab api nerakaMu, ya Allah".

.

ii. Tiada memuji (bersyukur) di atas kemurahan Allah yang didatangkan melalui suaminya.

.

iii. Sering mengkufurkan (engkar) terhadap nikmat Allah.

.

iv. Gemar bercakap perkara yang sia-sia yang berdosa.

.

v. Kurang akal dan kurang ilmu pengetahuannya dalam agama iaitu mereka sering tertipu atau terpengaruh dengan pujuk rayu lelaki,rakan-rakan, alam sekeliling dan suasana serta kemewahan lahiriah.

La Taghdob

Yesterday.. i was feeling very very very angry.. SERIOUSLY.. rasa mcm nk gigit org je.. huhu.. i'm not someone who will shout at other people when i'm angry.. paling2 teruk dlm sejarah pun, i'll lempar barang2 (ni mmg tahap kronik nyer tension la nih).. usually, when i'm angry, i chose to remain silent, xpun, gi nangis sorang2.. huhu..


Semalam, stage baling2 barang yg kurang kronik.. usually, kalu rasa marah at night, bangun tido dah ok dah. tp yg ni meleret2 lak. payoh sungguh.. (sindrom PMS kah?) so, i remain silent the whole morning. altho the other party dh msg an apology. teruk kah? terasa sedikit teruk, tp sbb hati terlalu keras n taknak insaf.. kene laa kasi tazkirah kat diri sendiri. so, i google kan 'jangan marah' n found this article, cuma dlm indon laa.. Alhamdulillah.. terasa hilang perasaan marah tu. so, nk share the article- altho mempharaphrase sket2 =)

Diriwayatkan daripada Abu Hurairah R.A, telah datang seseorang kepada Nabi s.a.w. memohon kepada baginda agar berpesan sesuatu kepadanya. Baginda menjawab, "La Taghdob! (Jangan marah!). Sahabat itu meminta lagi agar baginda berpesan sesuatu kepadanya. Dan sekali lagi baginda mengulangi, "La Taghdob!", diulang sehingga beberapa kali. (HR Bukhari)


Imam Nawawi Rahimatullah berkata, “Jangan marah bermaksud, janganlah kamu menunjukkan kemarahanmu. Larangan ini, bukan ditujukan kepada perasaan marah itu sendiri, kerana pada hakikatnya, marah adalah lumrah manusia, yg tidak mungkin dapat dihilangkan dari perasaan manusia”.


Rasulullah SAW juga pernah menasihatkan, “Apabila salah seorang daripada kalian marah ketika dia berdiri, maka hendaklah dia duduk. Kalau marahnya tidak hilang, maka hendaklah dia berbaring” (HR Ahmad, Sahih)


Pada suatu ketika, seorang lelaki telah datang menemui Rasulullah SAW dan berkata, “Wahai Rasulullah, ajarkanlah kepada saya satu ilmu yang boleh mendekatkan saya kepada syurga dan menjauhkan dari neraka”. Maka baginda SAW bersabda, “Janganlah tumpahkan kemarahanmu. Nescaya dikau akan mendapat syurga’. (HR Thobrani, Sahih).


Syaikh Muhammad bin Shalih Al ‘Utsaimin rahimatullah juga berkata, “Baginda tidak melarang kita dari memiliki rasa marah, kerana perasaan marah itu adalah lumrah manusia yang pasti ada. Tetapi, baginda bermaksud agar kita menguasai diri kerika muncul perasaan marah. Supaya kemarahanmu tidak menimbulkan dampak yang tidak elok. Sesungguhnya kemarahan itu adalah bara api yang dilemparkan oleh syaitan ke dasar hati bani adam….”


Tips Mengawal Kemarahan

Syaikh Wahiid Baali telah menggariskan beberapa tips untuk mengawal kemarahan. Diantaranya ialah:
1. Membaca ta’awudz iaitu, “A’udzubillahi minasy syaithanir rajiim”.
2. Mengingati besarnya pahala orang yang dapat mengawal kemarahan.
3. Mengambil sikap diam.
4. Duduk atau berbaring.
5. Memikirkan betapa ‘buruknya’ penampilan orang yang sedang marah.
6. Mengingati besarnya balasan bagi orang yg memaafkan kesalahan oran lain.7. Meninggalakan semua jenis bentuk celaan, makian, cercaan dan laknat keatas orang lain kerana semua itu termasuk dalam perangai org2 yg bodoh.

Luahkan that 'Lafaz yg Tersimpan'

why did sometimes, eventho we tried, we didnt managed to write anything..? seriously, i've been ngadap this page since last few days, but i dont even manage to write a good title.. *even having idea to write is nikmat kurniaan Allah yg patut disyukuri..

hmm.. yesterday is Mama's bday =) [Happy birthday Mama.. Love you lots..]* thank you Allah for blessing me with wonderful and loving parents.. i still remember, dulu masa kecik2, me n my elder sister used to make a card for our parents.. pastu masa sign, tulis, 'from your sons'.. hehehe... sampai skrg pun, still tergelak bila teringat about that..

mama ^^

Mama is away, 'holidaying' with abah =).. tried to call, but end up sending sms wishing hepi bday n told her I love her. Comparing myself with others.. i'm not a direct type. some people can say what they think directly, but for me, to utter words that convey feelings, and sometimes my thoughts, can be soo hard. thats why i turn to writing; as sometimes it's frustrated not being able to say what u r thinking.

there r times that i know i made my mum sad, or mad at me.. there are times that i know i shud apologize. but tiap kali pun, all the words just linger in my head. thats why terasa sgt when i listen to Unic's 'Lafaz Yang Tersimpan'.. really2 'sukar menyusun bicara n meluahkan sayang'. huhu...

for me, bila dh besar2 ni, i know that i need to do something about it. rather than pendamkan n 'wat bodo' when i know i'd kecikkan ati org, or when i really need to say i care about people, i turn to writing it all down. sending sms, putting notes on table or any place that it's easy to find, sending emails, and sending cards =) it's a good feeling when u know that people knew what exactly you r feeling or thinking, rather than being ambigous and creating misunderstanding.. =)

having a chat with my 'iffah yesterday (eba n iman).. rupa2nya dh lama i didnt ask for their news.. sowiiii!!! u guys are always in my mind, cuma x berkesempatan n duk diam2 n tegur your ym/called. 'iffah is always my anak2 yg chomel =)

there's this hadith that i read somewhere about when you love someone, say it.. so, ape lagi? tell the person that u care about them =)

** uh uh.. i'm having headache due to this petroleum ether that fills the air in the lab - tgh wat fat extraction.

~ Sabar itu Indah ~

Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Bersabarlah kamu (menghadapi segala kesukaran dalam mengerjakan perkara-perkara yang berkebajikan), dan kuatkanlah kesabaran kamu lebih daripada kesabaran musuh, di medan perjuangan), dan bersedialah (dengan kekuatan pertahanan di daerah-daerah sempadan) serta bertaqwalah kamu kepada Allah supaya, kamu berjaya (mencapai kemenangan) [3:200]

Dan turutlah apa yang diwahyukan kepadamu serta bersabarlah (dalam perjuangan mengembangkan Islam) sehingga Allah menghukum (di antaramu dengan golongan yang ingkar, dan memberi kepadamu kemenangan yang telah dijanjikan), kerana Dia lah sebaik-baik Hakim. [10:109]

Dan sabarlah (wahai Muhammad, engkau dan umatmu, dalam mengerjakan suruhan Allah), kerana sesungguhnya Allah tidak akan menghilangkan pahala orang-orang yang berbuat kebaikan. [11:115]


*Ya Allah.. jadikanlah daku orang yg bersabar dalam menghadapi ketentuanMU..

Generasi Al-Quran

Last weekend, went for a daurah.. was feeling a lil bit unwell (this stabbing pain around my lungs really worries me), but Alhamdulillah.. sihat, sakit, semuanya ujian dr Allah.. dan Dia jua yang memberikan kekuatan dalam menghadapi ujian yang jua dtg dari-Nya.


Ustaz Hadi, yg juga pengerusi Pembina Kltn (if i'm not mistaken; masih jahil ttg struktur pembina disini walaupun dh nearly 2months jd warga pembina kltn), bentangkan Hazad-deen, dan aft that Modul Pembangunan Generasi Al-Quran. I assumed this is why POTS lancarkn GenQ =)

nway, just wanna share ways to memorized hafalan baru.


we are advised to memorized 1/2 a page per day. the example given is for surah Dhuha (11 ayat). b4 menghafal, we need to perbetulkan our bacaan in front of people that read Quran better than us (eg: our naqibah).. ye laa, nnti struggle menghafal, then hafal yg salah lak.. uh uh.. sure tensi aft that. so, here comes the steps utk menghafal.


1. Baca ayat 1 hingga 11 dengan bertajwid hingga lancar for 10times, dengan melihat quran, make sure of the baris2 and huruf mad. eventho u already memorized it, jgn ngelat, sila tgk qur'an.


2. Mula menghafal ayat 1 dengan ulangan 60kali. ni lagi sekali, eventho aft 15time to dh ingat, tetap teruskn usaha hafal till 60kali. insyaAllah, Allah balas usaha.


3. Mula menghafal ayat ke 2 dengan ulangan 60 kali. tak aci wat 59kali je.


4. Gabung ayat 1 and 2, dan ulang 15 kali.


5. Mula menghafal ayat ke 3 dengan ulangan 60 kali.


6. Gabung ayat 1, 2 dan 3, dan ulang 15 kali.

7. These steps will be repeated till the end of 11 ayat (or end of 1/2 page utk hafalan2 lain).

8. But, utk gabungan ayat yang last (ie: ayat 1 till 11), bacaan diulang 30kali, bkn 15kali. bcoz this is the last gabungan. kalau 30kali tu x cukup, tambah lagi 30kali.


9. Tasmi' bacaan, dan jika terdapat kesalahan, tanda dengan pensil dibawah kalimah/baris. Aft tasmi', ulang bacaan yg betul sebanyak 15kali.


Masa tgh hafal hafalan baru tu, hafalan lama pun kene tasmi' gak.. nnti lupa =). mmg akan ada yg akan kata 'alaaa.... sampai 60kali nk kene ulang?!', busy laa, xde masa laaa... but kita BERUSAHA, ye? =) moga kita2 semua jd hafizah2..insyaAllah.


*daku yg selalu slow dlm menghafal.. kene brusaha keras! chaiyok2!!
