:: Dia yang ku lihat ::

Masa susun buku kat Allen tadi, jadi 'terkagum' (buat kesekian kalinya) dengan banyaknya buku-buku yang ada di library tu. Kalau perhatikan, rasa-rasanya ada buku yang dah bertahun orang tak pegang.

Terfikir jugak, ada ker orang yang nak baca semua ni? Tiap2 hari orang menulis dan ade jer karya baru (dgn Izin Allah). Sape yang nak baca semua tu yer? Ditambah lagi di zaman ni yang mana orang lebih suka menonton dan mendengar, bak kat Imam Muhammad, kita sekarang ni adalah 'MTV generation'.

Kalau orang yang suka membaca, macam mana diorang bahagikan masa yer?
Lepas tu, kalau sesebuah buku tu habis dibaca, akan disimpan, disimpan, disimpan, dan berhabuk. Siapa yang akan baca lagi?

Well, time2 menulis ni terfikir satu 'buku' yang orang tak bosan nak baca n 'khatam'kan berkali-kali .. ape die jenis buku tu yer...?

The book is AlQuran al-Karim, Kalamullah. Setiap hari orang dok baca berulang-ulang. Ada yang faham dan baca dengan penuh perasaan sampai meleleh2 air mata. Ada yang tak faham pun baca jer sebab nak pahala, redah Allah dan ganjaran syurga. Yela...sapa yang tak nak kan..?

Rasanya tak kena sangat kalau Quran dibandingkan dengan buku2 lain, sbb quran punya maqam yang lebih tinggi dan mulia...

cumanya semalam baca psl shaykh AbdulBary Yahya [cikgu almaghrib =) ], kat Vietnam sana, memula kerajaan die haramkan org baca quran...tp, lepas tu, since diorg found out yg muslims tak reti pon sebenanya apa yg diorg baca, baru diorg benarkan balik bacaan Quran....

Sedey la jugak sbb mmg itu reality hubungan kita dgn alQuran skrg ['~']
:: Work harder! Let's compete for the Hereafter! ::

~Competition of the Hereafter : open, unlimited (because of the mercy of Allah azzawajall)
[competition of the dunya - only one of the two parties will get rewarded and this causes animosity]

Love of Ibadah : do it a lot!
Fasting is about the state of the heart someone is in
Solat (qiyamullail) will be rewarded on (one of them) how tired a person is ..
->Be thankful, use the ni'mah of Allah to gain the pleasure of Allah

Kisah : a boy (ghulam) who told the king how to kill him,"Take an arrow from my quiver and shot the arrow by saying, By the name of the God of this boy,"
->The boy didn't told the king to kill him out of nothing, it was for all the people to embrace Islam.

Jannah is after striving. Why are we not striving for the matter of the religion?
::many people sold their souls for a very low price of this dunya

Always refer to the Quran for guidance
:: If not, who is going to guide us?

~to be able to pray five times a day is great jihad

Betapa mudahnya utk hilang fokus terhadap sesuatu

-tadi, logged 0n to campus mail untuk check email TA for time and venue of the final review. Then, masa dah logged in, nampak banyak sangat junk mails. So, perused through the emails before deleting them, just to make sure I would not delete any 'serious emails' that were sent by 'real people' whom I knew. Alhamdulillah, I've deleted the junk emails, and signed out.

Erm, ... did I forget something?
Yeah, I didnt even look for my TA's email regarding the review. I totally forgot about it after being 'preoccupied' for a few seconds with the junk emails.

Erm ... any thoughts?
Try to relate this situation with our daily lives as 'ibaadullah.
How easy it is to forget our real intentions are. In a matter of seconds, we might forget who we are and what are we supposed to do ......
