Bismillaah

He is just 10 years old, yet he has became the 'iron man'
he is the muslim hero in school
for defending the good name of Abu Bakr, the companion of Rasulullaah pbuh
for standing up for what is right
for doing it the smart, right way

He is just six years old, yet he is a haafidh
he memorizes the whole Qur'an
Only SIX years living on this dunya
But he already has the Qur'an in his heart

I am way older than they are
but have done much less in comparison

bismillaah

Anugerah yang Maha Esa membuatkan aku ingin menulis
Setiap hari aku hidup dengan segala nikmat dariNya
iman dan Islam ini
Alhamdulillaah

Kasih Sayang yang Maha Pengasih membuatkan aku ingin berkongsinya
setiap hari hidupku terisi dengan segala kasih dan sayang
keluarga dan cahaya mata
teman dan kawan
MashaAllaah

Janji ampunan yang Maha Pengampun mengingatkan aku untuk terus mengetuk pintuNya
setiap hari ku diberi peluang untuk kembali dan menghapus
kesalahan yang lebih luas dari lautan
daki dosa yang lebih hitam dari malam yang pekat
kelalaian yang lebih tinggi dari gunung
Astaghfirullaah

dan banyak lagi yang tidak pernah bisa terungkap dengan pena...

Bismillaah

Allaahumma aghfirlana, zunubana

internet scam: offers that are too good to be true
so beware
low prices followed by bait-n-change
so be wise

the same applies on many other aspects of our daily lives
youth and beauty
strength and health
all are beautiful but they dont last

'small' mistakes followed by another
seems like they'll never harm us
but deep inside we all know
how they hurt us
and our hearts are dying..
slowly and painfully

let us think, reflect, and act
before death come to our door
before our sins follow us to the grave

bismillaah

my bike was collecting dust
standing still outside over the weekend

mm's thick of dust
settling slowly on my bike

2 days that's all it takes
for my bike to be fully covered
looking so old and dirty
while it was looking good and shiny on Friday

how long will it take
for our 'still' hearts to be covered with 'dust'?

bismillaah

wa rabbaka fakabbir
magnify your God...
no rewards will ever be greater than His
no punishment will ever be more severe than His

clean your heart before you speak to others.
for inshaAllaah, words from purified heart are more effective and long lasting.

fight shaytan
it is the greatest enemy

computer programming
tough when one does not know what is wrong
the codes look alright
but the error message comes out whenever s/he hits the run button

Will life be just as tough,
when we feel and look okay
when we do not realize that we make mistakes
but somehow, the 'error message' shows up

when the heart is sick
when committing sins were not followed with repentance
when we do not realize hearts are badly injured and suffering
we just do not feel it inside
but somehow we commit more sins
and less good deeds
and less tranquility

of course we will need to learn more
to understand which and why
to identify and rectify


A'fwan, it is common when people seldom blog when they are busy with other things i.e work, school, family, etc =), so do I.

RAMADHAN: 12 MONTHS to go..

post Ramadhan: what do I do?

I like this, and would like to share it with you.

As salamu alaykum ,
Here is a Quran review technique that I think you'll find
especially helpful post Ramadan.

***********************************
How to Maintain Memorized Quran
By Muhammad Alshareef, courtesy of www.DiscoverULife.com

Ramadan is the month of Quran. Many start the month off
with lofty Quran reading and memorization goals, and many
hit what they intended DURING Ramadan.

Maintaining consistency after Ramadan, however, is an
entirely different story.

The Shaytans are out and about, daily routines start
obstructing us once again. And the Quran, "respectfully"
returns to our shelves. Sure we feel guilty, but guilt is
not the greatest of motivators.

You need tried and proven routes to capture your
post-Ramadan Quran reading and memorization and review
goals.

Here is my favorite:
Re-memorize Quran you have trouble remembering, and recite
it every Salah chance you get for the entire day.

Step 1: Lets say you have 1 Juz' memorized (equivalent of
about 20 pages).
Step 2: Take 1/2 a page of those 20 pages
and RE-memorize it today.
Step 3: Recite that 1 page in your prayers all day long.

There are certain Surahs that you know like the back of
your hand, like Surat AlFatiha, Qul Huwal Allahu Ahad, for
instance. Why do you know them so well? Cause you read
them, like, ALL THE TIME in Salah.

If you use this technique I'm talking about here, these new
Quran pages can become just as strong, in sha Allah.

With best wishes to see you succeed at the highest level!
- Muhammad Alshareef

bismillaah

yes, it is syawal already
ramadhan has gone, have to wait for one year, again...

tapi semangat ramadhan, takkan habis bersama 1 syawal? bolehkan bertahan untuk setahun?
recharge sebulan, untuk guna setahun

charger tu kenala power, masa recharging pulak, kenala full sebulan..
kalau tak? camne nak bertahan untuk setahun?
flat tengah jalan....

mana satula yang dah kita buat yer? mana satula nasib kita ni?

Bismillaah

Ada kesyukuran, ada kelegaan, ada kegembiraan, ada kepuasan...
menghirup udara pada saat ini

Ada pengharapan, ada keinginan, ada permohonan...
Moga Allah perkenankannya untuk kami

Di sini kami mengemis, meminta-minta, mengetuk pintuNya tanpa henti
Moga Allah terimanya daripada kami

Kami,
Aku dan kamu,
Saling berlumba untuk sama-sama menang,
cemerlang dalam peluang ini,
berpesta ibadah dalam hari-hari mulia ini,
membanting tulang mengumpul bekalan dalam kehidupan singkat ini...

Moga Allah terima ...
Moga kita beroleh ampunanNya ...

bismillaah



jari-jari kecil menyentuh tangan
lembut penuh keceriaan

jari-jari kecil mengenggam jari-jariku
kuat penuh kesungguhan

jari-jari kecil akan membesar
akan menjadi kedut dan kasar

jari-jari kecil yang punya potensi besar
bakal melakar sesuatu yang bermakna untuk dirinya dan dunia

bismillaah

Alhamdulillaah, summer has been so wonderful. Still has a month or so before Fall comes. AND it's less than a month for Muslims to celebrate the blessed month of Ramadhan. AND yes, I am far behind others who have started talking about Ramadhan a while ago, not to mention the earlier generations who had started reminding each other about Ramadhan as soon as Ramadhan ended.
Ya Allah, make me among those who are blessed to be with Ramadhan again this year, and those who You gives the strength and opportunity to make the best use of the holy month.

Olympic has just begun in China, people are celebrating and competing. It's the game in this world. Everybody wants to win a Gold medal and break the world's records, the highest reward, satisfaction, and achievement for sportsmen. These sportsmen and women have been training rigorously all year long for the game to make sure they are fit enough, have all the vital skills and strength to win their games.

Would not it be so wonderful if we,Muslims, take Ramadhan more seriously than the sportsmen treat their Olympic games? To win the best of rewards(much much much better than Olympics medals) in this dunya and the hereafter. I wish I had done so myself, but the truth is often never even close to the ideals.

bismillaah

kami berjalan dan berjalan
dan terus berjalan
selagi masa belum berhenti

mencari dan meraih peluang
dan terus berusaha
selagi masih ada kesempatan

masih dalam perjalanan pulang
berdoa agar diberikan kekuatan
selagi belum terlewat

The blings and dings in life
one makes you smile, one makes you cry
one makes you happy, one makes you sad

The blings and dings in life
the ups and downs of life
one will go up and down
never forever on the top
as the fluid flow might be laminar
it might also went turbulent

face the music

mashaAllaah,
the sky was blue,
very beautiful blue when I looked at the sky this morning
accidentally looked up through the window

it was by the will of Allaah
so that I could enjoy the beauty of His creation
so that I could praise Him
so that I could appreciate everything that He has given me
this deen, this faith, this life, this world, His generosity
everything...

Alhamdulillaah

Bismillaah


kadang-kadang dan bukan selalu, tahu-tahu masa sudahpun berlalu
dahabisdah peluang yang Tuhan berikan

masaku, masamu dan masa mereka
tidak ada yang boleh berputar semula

ada peluang yang datang dan pergi
ada yang berlalu dan dibiarkan sepi
tapi kalau sudah sampai penghujung waktu
dahabisdah segala kesempatan dan tunggulah masa penentuan

apa yang sudah kulakukan?
cukupkah sudah menyimpan bekalan?
atau banyak yang sudah keciciran dan aku masih belum cepat2 menambahnya lagi?

bismillah

terkejut, mengejut,dikejutkan
tidak siap menghadapi kebenaran

manusia selalu menghadapinya
itu antara sifat dominan kita
manusia tidak ada kekebalan
manusia ini makhluk Tuhan

jangan lupa
jangan suka
jangan sombong
jangan terluka

bismillah

ada yang bergolak hatinya
ada yang tenang, senang menikmati manisnya iman

ada yang bertindak protes
ada yang berpeluk tubuh

ada yang baru tiba
ada yang sudah pergi

ada yang baru bersatu
ada yang telah berpisah

ada yang serasi
ada yang berlawanan
sunnah nya alam

the last day of spring(semester)
final presentation
and the finals are coming

the anxiety
of being asked
and the expectation of being able to answer

wouldn't the feeling
be tremendously greater
on the day of judgement?

would us be so frightened to speak
so the limbs would speak on our behalf?

poverty
was a memory for some
but many more are still suffering in it

poverty
the poor's fault
or the wealthy's fault?


poverty
physically = bad
spiritually = worse
physically + spiritually = WORST

mashaAllaah
the early muslims
most were poor
but they were very 'rich' in eeman
and those who're wealthy
were generous and always reached out for the needy

lagikan di tempat kecil pun boleh tersesat, apatah lagi di bumi yang luas
wayar usb itu telah 'hilang' atau lebih tepat salah letak, atau terlupa letaknya di mana

pusing keliling satu ruangan, punggah-memunggah, tinjau-meninjau
wayar usb itu tiada di mana-mana

ruang ini begitu kecil untuk wayar usb bersembunyi
tapi yang mencari masih belum berjumpa

bawaku berfikir dan merenung
di ruang kecil sudah boleh 'hilang', apatah lagi di luar sana
kita insan kerdil yang selalu lupa tujuan, salah memilih jalan
berapa kali kita ingin kesasar sebelum bertemu jalan pulang

Allah Maha Esa, Satu
begitu juga jalan menujunya
hanya ada Satu
Islam....

Dulu waktu di sekolah menengah, ada ujian PAFA. Salah satu syarat untuk lulus adalah menghafal beberapa ayat Qur'an a.k.a ayat Hafazan. Mungkin hampir keseluruhan calon peperiksaan hafal ayat-ayat Hafazan PAFA.

Kebelakangan ni terfikir tentang sejauh mana orang-orang Melayu menyimpan azam dan berusaha untuk menambah ayat-ayat Qur'an yang dihafal selepas lulus PAFA SPM. Adakah selepas lulus PAFA, itulah ayat hafazan terakhir yang disimpan dalam kepala? dan adakah ayat-ayat itu masih lekat dalam ingatan?

Persoalan ini timbul selepas umat Islam menunjukkan pelbagai reaksi tentang 'filem'(tak sampai taraf dan kualiti filem pun) SEorang Belanda (yang malas nak tulis namanya di sini)) yang membawa propaganda(Islamophobia dan salah satunya adalah) untuk memansuhkan beberapa bahagian dalam alQuran(yang dia dah ambil ikut konteks dan tafsiran sendiri-tanpa ilmu). Klip tersebut diakhiri dengan bunyi kertas dikoyak(Quran dikoyak).

Reaksi kebanyakan orang(yang ada akses internet) adalah pergi ke youtube untuk tengok klip tersebut ataupun download dari mana-mana sumber yang boleh muat turun(biarpun x faham bahasa Belanda-bagi klip tanpa sarikata). Selepas itu, marah dan mengutuk SEorang Belanda di belakang klip tersebut. Bagi dua orang anak muda Belanda, mereka membuat klip untuk menyerang balas. Menyerang SEorang Belanda tersebut menggunakan senjata yang sama iaitu filem/klip video.

Secara personal, saya pun tidak tahu reaksi mana yang terbaik. Tetapi, presiden ISNA, sr Ingrid Matson berkongsi reaksinya ialah dengan mengucup naskah al-Qur'an beliau dan duduk membaca al-Qur'an selama sejam.

Bukankah indah jika reaksi umat Islam dengan penghinaan SEorang Belanda itu adalah dengan beramai-ramai menghayati, menghargai, memahami, mengamalkan dan menyebatikan kehidupan dengan al-Qur'an. Lebih ramai yang berazam untuk menghafal al-Qur'an, sedikit-sedikit lama-lama jadi bukit, satu ayat ke satu ayat sehingga keseluruhan al-Qur'an. Berundang-undangkan al-Qur'an dan berpandukan al-Qur'an. Jadi biarpun SEorang Belanda itu cuba membuang potongan-potongan Qur'an dari mushaf seantero dunia, ayat-ayat Qur'an akan tetap utuh di hati dan ingatan Umat Islam(dan Allah akan menjaga al-Qur'an selama-lamanya.Perlindungan siapakan yang lebih baik dan sempurna?)

A man wishes that he could do 3 things:
1- To be able to make sujood(prostrate - sujud)
2- To be able to lift a page of the Qur'an
3- To be able to hug his mother

You might ask, why did he wanted to do these? Arent those are very simple to do? Just go ahead and make sujood, and take the Qur'an and lift a page, and go to his mother and hug her!

However, this man is not able to do those three things. He is paralyzed from the neck down! He is unable to move except his head, blinking his eyes, lips, and tongue. He cannot move anything else even his fingers. He regretted that during his healthy time, he didn't perform the prayer(solah) and he didn't read the Qur'an.

Now, let us ponder upon this true story. For healthy people like most of us, those three things are very simple to do. They just require little efforts. Because of this, many of us often taken our health for granted. Many people do not pray, they do not prostrate in front of Allah. Lots of people do not read the Qur'an, not even touch it let alone lifting a page of it. and lots of people still have the chance and time to hug their mothers, fathers, siblings, and children, but they never do that.

Do we ever think that these blessings of health and perfect limbs could be taken away at any time? That, we are susceptible to injuries and accidents that might change our lives forever? That we might not be able to make sujood anymore due to illness? That we might not be able to move our hands, our fingers, and hence will not be able to lift anything by ourselves, including the pages of Qur'an? That one day, we might not be able to hug anyone anymore including our moms?

Sure we dont know, but Allah knows. Let's thank Allah for all the blessings we'd been given. Let's perform our duties to Allah while we still have the chance and time.

Lastly, the man said, "You feel grieve seeing me in this condition, but people didn't feel grieve while they saw me not praying(when I was healthy)"

That's another point to ponder~ what is the source of our happiness and grieve these days?

bismillaah

when the white blood cells gone wild
attacking and killing the good, beneficial red blood cells
there would be a chaos

when the human gone wild
attacking and killing one another
there woukd be a chaos

not following sunnatullah
not doing what were we supposed to do
was just choosing to live in chaos
forever

Alhamdulillah
The sun was shining so brightly today as I rode my bike to the campus
The blue sky was clear and the wind was blowing softly
Lots of people were on the street enjoying the nice weather

MashaAllah
The season is changing again
Who could arrange it so that the spring comes after the winter in the west?
While at some other parts in the world, they never have winter and snow?

Alhamdulillah
Having the chance to live at different parts of the world
Having the chance to enjoy nice, sunny weather all year long
Having the chance to experience all the four different seasons
Went through freezing winter with white, thick snow all over
Went through beautiful spring with colorful flowers at every corner
Went through summer with long breaks to go places
Went through fall with all those fallen, golden leaves

mashaAllah
all were just wonderful
so perfect are His creations

bismillah

I wanted to do so many things in my life, but I don't even know if I would have the chance to do all of them...
I wished to achieve lots of things in my life, but I am not sure myself If I could accomplish all of them...
and only Allah azzawajall knows

If you were to choose just one of the many things you would like to do, which one would you choose?
If you were to pick one thing that you would like to accomplish, which one would you pick for yourself?

and I ask Allah to guide me in making decisions and facilitate me in my affairs
and may Allah include us among the inhabitants of Jannat-ul firdaous

Bismillah

MashaAllah...
Looking into their innocent eyes
Clear, beautiful, and sincere
Enthusiastic and curious

Alhamdulillah...
Through them You have brightened up my day
With them You have blessed me
with loves and happines

bismillah

Today I was online like usual. Checking my emails and online accounts. There was an email that I thought was just like many forwarded emails as I rarely received emails personally sent to me. Somehow, I opened the email and found out that it was indeed from an old friend. Alhamdulillah, I was happy to receive the email.

Sometimes it's worth ones time to write just a simple and short email to his/her friends to keep in touch with each other. An email shows that one still remembers and cares about you. Thanks to the internet, now we can send messages around the globe easily and fast with almost no charge.

Keep sending those nice emails and showing that friendships know no time limits and bounds (especially when it is for the sake of God, Allah azzawajall)


p/s:I would like to welcome old friends from smsld to my blog. I am not a heavy blogger, though since I just write every now and then, whenever I feel like writing, and that does not happened very often.

Bismillah

Why do I locked my bike?

The answer is Believe in Allah azzawajall a.k.a iman
I place my trust in Allah, thus I locked my bike and then left it with the hope the bike would be there when I came back inshaAllah-with Allah's will
I locked my bike because Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wa salam once told someone that "Tie Your camel, and then put your trust in Allah", thus I locked my bike as an effort from my part in making sure that the bike would not get stolen before asking for Allah's protection

p/s: a camel would surely wander around if it's not tied for it has the ability to walk or move. What about a bike? as far as I know, no bike would automatically move independently without an operator. Why it is very hard to trust people nowadays? Why do people steal? Thieves do not have taqwa-fear of Allah =(

bismillah

so much things happened, but not all could be written
it was simply because some better left unspoken while others were shared

Sometimes, they were not too easy to put into words
and as time goes by, they were buried in memories in unwritten thoughts

Sometimes, the times were just not there
For the events to be recorded in words
or the times were just not appropriate
For other things need to be done first

Bismillah

Dont Just be Good, Be EXCELLENT

Alhamdulillah, I believe almost everywhere in Malaysia people are excited about the recent PRU 12. Some say 'Miracle Happens'. Alhamdulilllah, What more can I say?

It was just late last night that I read about thousands of Kelantanese gathered together on the PRU 12's eve to ask for Allah's help to retain the only Islamic state in Malaysia. and Indeed, Allah gave them better than what they've asked for. I am not sure if this is their biggest win ever since 1957.

Well, it would be well to remember that from now on till the end of time that All of us should not just be good, but need to be excellent. Every single person who has prayed and hoped for this miracle to happen must be thankful to Allah, and show our gratitude by doing the best in every aspects of life and showing excellent leadership.

The time has come to serve the Malaysian humbly solely to please Allah. Islam indeed is the greatest religion and Islamic leaders should be the best as well to all races and different beliefs. Just like our beloved and the greatest leader of human kind, salallahu alayhi wa salam had done.

I pray to see good changes in my beloved country. Ya Allah, make us winners both in this world and the hereafter.

bismillah


In my journey back home, I am taking the Route 114. It is a straight path indeed with many truthful and clear guidance along the way. Along the route, I've met teachers, leaders,and made many friends.

I've also learned about the beautiful desert rose. I am sure every believers is yearning to meet the desert rose whose history and legacy are so great that it changes the whole world forever.


My journey should be smooth as long as I refer to the Divine GPS. So do yours, inshaAllah.
Please join me, please join us!
Together we strive to success at the highest level!

p/s: alhamdulillah, Allah has granted me the opportunity to attend another almaghrib's seminar!(after two years since my last seminar, TCE)..in the eeman rush zone, mashaAllah.

i am not a politician, nor I know much about politics
but I am a registered voter and am eligible to vote

I am a citizen and have my voice
Though I am only a person whose vote doesn't have humongous effect
but thousands of people whose decision is the same like mine
do have the strength to change a country's look

dont feel like your vote wont make any difference
Dont just sit and watch people cast their ballots
Dont just go with the flow

Observe and think
Read and be informed
Choose intellectually
Not just emotionally
It's our responsibility
Not to be taken lightly

Hanya ada Satu kuasa
Hanya terjadi dengan izin

Matamu yang melihat
mulutmu yang membaca
otakmu yang berfikir
Segala sains di belakang tabir
Rapi dan lengkap dalam pengetahuan Tuhan

Jadi jangan kita sekali-kali lupa
Setiap yang kita ketahui
Allah sudah tahu sejak azali
Setiap yang berlaku
Dia yang memberi izin untuknya terjadi

imagine baking a cake - but one simply puts all of the ingredients together in a bowl(a.k.a campak je takyah gaul): flour, eggs, water, cooking oil, and sugar, without mixing them properly. What will happen to the 'mixture' once it's baked in the oven? will it turn out to be a delicious cake' yang menjadi'?

this morning, i read the instruction on making pancake. it says that do not overmix as overmixing will toughen the pancakes.stop as soon as the lump disappears.

what do I learn from baking cakes and cooking in the kitchen?
Simply follow the instructions and I'll be good. Having knowledge of doing something will help tremendously.

How do I apply these cooking rules in other areas in my life?
Simply follow all of Allah's instructions properly, get as much ilm as possible and practice it, and I'll be safe, inshaAllah...

bismillah

setiap hari mesti ada berita dan cerita baru. Itu maknanya alam terus berputar. Ada yang lahir, ada yang mati, ada yang baru, dan ada yang lama.

itu juga maknanya surat khabar dan media boleh terus melihat dapur terus berasap. berita yang sensasi jadi muka depan atau ditayang di tv saban hari. tapi yang sensasi pun sampai masanya akan jadi basi. tapi media akan tetap dapat cerita baru dan baru dan panas sesuai trend semasa.

dan kita manusia pun terus berjalan, bekerja, tidur, makan, berehat, dan seterusnya. Selagi sihat tubuh badan, selagi otak, jantung, hati masih berfungsi, pendek kata selagi nadi masih belum berhenti, kita akan terus bergerak mengikut masa dan putaran alam di bawah aturan Ilahi yang teramat rapi.

jadi, takkan lah hidup kita ni sekadar mengikut arus zaman dan putaran alam? dari dulu sampai sekarang, 'the same old me, you, she, he, etc'...kualiti iman tak berubah, ilmu tak meningkat, amalan tak bertambah, tutup aurat tak habis, etc...walhal umur makin pendek...

erm...dengar-dengar nasheed 'farshi thurab' dari multiply adda, yang siap ada video klip lagi... memang menginsafkan...ya la, dalam keadaan baring beralaskan debu/tanah/pasir, berdindingkan tanah, beratapkan tanah, macam manala nasib kita. Kalau hidup takda tambah kualiti sebagai hamba Allah...kalau berkurang, kalau takda kualiti langsung? nauzubillah...

Ya Allah,
hambaMu mengharapkan keampunanMu, kekuatan dariMu, pertolonganMU...

Curhat

Bismillah

Sampaikan pesanmu
Ingatkan aku
Jangan sampai aku menjauh
Lalu terlupa
dan kau pun terlupa

Jangan kau ukur dirimu lebih rendah
Kerana tingginya engkau hanya Tuhan yang tahu
Lalu jangan pernah segan mengingatkan
Kerana teguranmu mungkin boleh menyelamatkan aku
Atau orang-orang yang lain

Sampaikan pesanmu
Ingatkan aku
Moga Allah memberkatimu selalu

Kita Bukan Budak Kecil Lagi...

Bismillah

Anak-anak kecil boleh buat apa sahaja yang dia mahu
Mereka masih kecil dan belum tahu erti malu
Tapi kita bukan budak kecil lagi
Tak bolehlah buat semua perkara ikut suka hati
Tanpa segan silu

Anak-anak kecil buat apa sahaja dengan ikhlas
Mereka masih kecil dan belum tahu meminta balas
Memang kita bukan budak kecil lagi
Tapi mestikah buat semua perkara ada udang sebalik batu?
Tanpa niat hanya untuk Yang Satu?

Anak-anak kecil boleh meludah selepas disuap
Tidak peduli ibu yang akan marah atau rumah bersepah
Tapi kita bukan budak kecil lagi
Tak bolehlah berlagak kasar tanpa batas
Kenalah berbudi dan cakap beralas

Anak-anak kecil boleh menjerit dan menangis sekuat hati
Tidak kisah jiran sebelah atau orang marah
Tapi kita bukan budak kecil lagi
Belajarlah berfikir sendiri
Sebab hidup bukannya lama
Takkan di akhirat nak hidup susah...

Bismillah

I should be doing my Matlab assignment right now, but I would like to set aside a few minutes for my shukr to Allah and an appreciation to my visitors by writing some thoughts that came into my mind earlier this morning.

I was busy cleaning up Adam while 'talking' to Hajar, when suddenly I thought of how wonderful the parents-children relationship is. I am responsible for my kids' upbringing and making sure they fully understand their main objective in this world, that is to serve and to please The Creator, Allah Azzawajall. While the children in return, should be treating their parents with kindness and respect. This is just a simple relationship that I immediately thought of, but I believe the parents-children relationship is more complex and includes many more things. Maybe you guys should be thinking about them.

Anyway, what happen if a child claims that (s)he loves his/her parents, but does not practice the religion(Islam)? How would a child make dua and pray for his/her parents once the parents have passed away? Do the child really loves and cares about her/his parents if (s)he does not even care to pray and make dua to Allah?

How many people think that they are the greatest child in the world, and that their parents are the most luckiest parents?

How many people think that being good to parents in this dunya is enough to prove their love towards parents, while they ignore the responsibilities as servants of Allah at the same time?

Do people even think of showing continuous love to their parents by respecting and treating their parents well, staying in obedience to Allah, making lots of dua for their parents during their lives and after?

How many people are blinded by love through materials only?

Bismillah

Having a certificate does not necessarily means one is knowledgeable...

I am quoting Dr. Asri here. He said that many students treat their education at higher learning institutes as a mean to get jobs after graduation. This includes students in the field of Islamic knowledge i.e syariah, arabic, etc. Students no longer going after the knowledge, but they are after decent or even easy jobs with handsome pay. Thus, having a degree or a certificate does not necessarily mean a person is knowledgeable in his/her field anymore.

Alhamdulillah I've the chance to listen to a small part of Dr. Asri's talk this afternoon as my husband opened the online video. I have just started my MS degree and I think this is a good reminder to me to get as much of knowledge as I can while I am here, to go after the knowledge and not after the rewards. It's true that securing a job is important for all of us, but it cannot be everything and the only thing in mind.

This can be a good reminder to all of us. It's important to set aside material things for more important and noble matters. knowledge is sacred and will be beneficial if its practiced and utilized properly. Money is only for the dunya and we'll never feel enough of it until we die. Money keeps us busy and worry while knowledge can lead us to contentment and happiness both in this life and the hereafter.

p/s: student for life!

How are you doing today? Thank you for stopping by and reading my entries in this blog. Jazakallahu khaeer. May you'll gain some benefits from your time spent here.

It's super tuesday here in California and for the other 23 states in America. People are going out and voting for their candidates. These people are hoping to vote for the best person to become their representative who'll hear their voices.

speaking about leaders whom we can trust and rely on...
hundreds of years ago, great leaders were born under the great leadership of prophet Muhamad who's a messenger to the mankind. people were blessed under their leadership and guidance. people looked very highly at their leaders as the leaders did their best to fulfil their responsibilities. The leaders never took the positions as ways of getting fame and wealth, but they took the positions as a fulfillment of their obligation to God.

those people are the best people and they deserved great and noble leaderships.
it's all happened in the history, and how about us?who are our leaders? and who are we?

think as the clock's ticking...

What is a late fee? well, usually it is a fee/fine that's imposed if we pay or submit something over its due date. For example, the monthly rent should be paid no later than the 3rd of each month. Failure to do so will cause in a late fee of USD75.(lots of money!Nupac is so very expensive!)

What if Allah set late fee for everything that we done out of its preset timing? Say, if Fajr is on 5am, and after 510am, there would be a USD1 late fee, and there was late fee for every delayed prayer.

How much would we owe to Allah? (Btw, there's 'pahala' reduction for every delayed prayer. But since its not physical and we cant see the effects right away, people often take it lightly). Let's call it the fee for procrastination. Can we afford it? What if someone's not praying at all? doesnt he/she deserve more severe punishment for that?

p/s:procrastination often brings troubles!

I have lots of reasons to thank Allah today. From the O2 that goes into my lungs to my fingers that are clicking on the keyboard right now.

Sometimes Allah gave us 'problems' and trials to go through. So, we might went through hard times, worried about things, or felt sad and blue. Some might cried, protested, fought, or just gave in. All of these were making us stronger or might I say, wiser, by learning through these experiences. If life was just smooth and silky, we might forgot to return to Allah and gave thank to Him. We would become the most forgetful servants and have the weakest hearts.

These past few days have reminded me of Allah's mercy and greatness. It's very easy and simple for Him to turn things around. A belonging that was lost, was found. Some things that seemed impossible were made possible, one process that i thought would take too long was done in no time.

How could I worried too much about things when I can always return to Allah and ask for His help?

.
the luxury of having a free time(read:all the time and space just for oneself) is quite rare lately. Now, I can really appreciate the advise of 'use your spare time wisely before u get busy'(sounded like this more or less).

As I am writing this down(after several breaks and trials), I still have other tasks to do.In other words, I have to do several things concurrently. No more free time :).

Maybe writing is an easy thing to do if it is the only thing to be done at one time. However, writing can be nearly impossible if it has to be done between many other things, or during those short seconds before running to the next, waiting task.

So, people, be grateful enough if you have the wonderful opportunity to sit down all by yourself and write without interruptions! It's a blessing :)

Btw, dont get me wrong. I am very grateful that I am a 'busy' woman (read:daughter,student,wife, and mother). I've got to do lots of things in a very short time. I've become more effective in time management. So, believe that Allah has created everything for a purpose. No matter how things go, there are always good things come with them.

So, believe and give thanks to Allah :)

mashaAllah

It is not hard to understand why time feels like flying away, faster than we might think.

It feels like just yesterday I was just a school girl, just went for my first class at college, just graduated from CASE, just got married, just had my first baby, just attended my first job interview, just received my first employment, and just left Malaysia for SoCal.

But Alhamdulillah, I have made it till this day;working hard in realizing my dreams and doing things I always wanted to do.

This time, I am at USC, a formal student again, but this time as a graduate student, married with two beautiful children in a happy, blessed family inshaAllah.

My baby is crying and that means enough of writing this time.Till we meet again.

p/s:maybe thats why i dont spend much time blogging lately.
