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.

dua topik dekat di hati:

1-Puasa Enam 6 Hari di bulan Syawal

mungkin ada yang sudah menyempurnakannya, mungkin ada yang masih tengah berpuasa, mungkin juga ada yang belum bermula..banyak jemputan jamuan raya barangkali?
a.k.a banyak makan..heh...tapi, masih belum terlambat untuk memulakan hari pertama :) inshaAllaah

2-Rasulullaah salallaahu a'layhi wa salam

sirah sirah, ramai kata sejarah boring..tapi mungkin itu khas untuk sejarah negara, dunia, etc.

sirah / sejarah / biografi Rasulullaah salallaahu a'layhi wa salam adalah tersendiri..tak pernah rasa bosan, timbul kecintaan :)
ambil langkah belajar atau review balik sirah Rasulullaah salallaahu a'layhi wa salam..inshaAllaah..joM =) !

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

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..

flat tengah jalan....

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