Astaghfirullah al-azim, semoga Allah mengampuni dosa-dosa kami dan menyucikan jiwa kami. MasyaAllah indah peringatan dalam artikel ini:

Yang mereka rasakan adalah penyesalan yang amat sangat, atas sebuah hijab yang tersingkap...
Ketika lelaki yang tak halal baginya, bergelayut dalam alam fikirannya, yang mereka rasakan adalah ketakutan yang begitu besar akan cinta yang tak suci lagi...


Ketika rasa rindu mulai merekah di hatinya, yang mereka rasakan adalah kesedihan yang tak terperih akan sbuah asa yang tak semestinya…

Tak ada senyum bahagia, tak ada rona malu…
Yang ada adalah malam-malam yang dipenuhi air mata penyesalan atas cinta-Nya yang ternodai…

Yang ada adalah kegelisahan, karena rasa yang salah arah…
Yang ada adalah penderitaan akan hati yang mulai sakit…


Ketika Akhwat Jatuh Cinta…

Bukan harapan untuk bertemu yang mereka nantikan, tapi yang ada adalah rasa ingin menghindar dan menjauh dari orang tersebut…


Tak ada kata-kata cinta dan rayuan…


Yang ada adalah kekhawatiran yang amat sangat, akan hati yang mulai merindukan lelaki yang belum halal atau bahkan tak akan pernah halal baginya…


Ketika mereka jatuh cinta, maka perhatikanlah, kegelisahan di hatinya yang tak mampu lagi memberikan ketenangan di wajahnya yang dulu teduh…


Mereka akan terus berusaha mematikan rasa itu bagaimanapun caranya…
Bahkan kendati dia harus menghilang, maka itu pun akan mereka lakukan...


Alangka kasihannya jika akhwat jatuh cinta…
Karena yang ada adalah penderitaan…


Tapi ukhti…
Bersabarlah…
Jadikan ini ujian dari Rabbmu…



Matikan rasa itu secepatnya…
Pasang tembok pembatas antara kau dan dia…
Pasang duri dalam hatimu, agar rasa itu tak tumbuh bersemai…
Cuci dengan air mata penyesalan akan hijab yang sempat tersingkap...


Putar balik kemudi hatimu, agar rasa itu tetap terarah hanya padaNya…
Pupuskan rasa rindu padanya dan kembalikan dalam hatimu rasa rindu akan cinta Rabbmu…


Ukhti… Jangan khawatir kau akan kehilangan cintanya…



Karena bila memang kalian ditakdirkan bersama, maka tak akan ada yang dapat mencegah kalian bersatu…


Tapi ketahuilah, bagaimana pun usaha kalian untuk bersatu, jika Allah tak menghendakinya, maka tak akan pernah kalian bersatu…


Ukhti… Bersabarlah… Biarkan Allah yang mengaturnya...
Maka yakinlah... Semuanya akan baik-baik saja…

Semua Akan Indah Pada Waktunya…

Dah lama tak dengar ni! Such a timely reminder for dear self who've been thinking too much about shopping and holidays and outings and food and such...

Can't wait for Pesantren for some cleansing of the heart, insyaAllah... Mudah-mudahan niat tak lari!

"Take only what you need from this dunya and use it while earnestly striving to reach your Lord and seek His reward" - a reminder for the wayfarer on this journey of purpose

I got into an accident again today. Alhamdulillah not a scratch as I was safely in the car. To think I didn't have the seatbelt on! Luckily the car was slowing down... But still the impact was scary, I was shaking right after the accident as the sound and images flash through my mind and I'm reminded of my old accident. As we stood waiting for the drivers to settle the necessary admin stuff, I was reminded of the FOC accident video *shivers* Life is so fragile. That could have been my last breath. And I'm reminded also of something someone said... You are still alive because you have yet to fulfill the reason of your very creation and existence. Perhaps *shrugs* Wallahu'alam.

It's such an irony... I was on the way to Abg Wan's majlis nikah actually...

Indeed, ajal dan jodoh di tangan Tuhan....

Anyway, barakallahu lakuma wa barakah alaykuma wa jamaa bainakuma fi khair...

And to Bro Hidayat too... I only found out there were two brides and grooms today... Saw Ust Hassan!! I miss pesantren... His daughter is sooooooo cute!

Ok bac to workkkk, so sleepy and tired...

I think I shall leave a trace this morning...

Haiz, I was happy over the weekends, see ABIT of development in myself and suddenly on Sunday evening I started getting all disappointed with myself back. :( So sad, when will I ever change, urgh! What will ever cause me to change??? Is Ramadhan not a strong enough reason??? Is death of a close one not a strong enough reason???

This Ramadhan Ust Jamal shared with us a few opportunities that we MUST NOT fail to seize, and they are:
1. The opportunity to seek taubatan nasuha (based on the hadith that Rasulullah saw mengaminkan doa Jibril, penghulu sekian malaikat, di mimbar)
2. The opportunity to be closer to the Al-Qur'an Al-Karim (syahru Ramadhan syahru Qur'an!)
3. The opportunity to manage time better
4. The opportunity to increase in good deeds
because failing to seize these opportunities amounts to getting the displeasure (wai in Arabic or celakalah in Malay) of Allah...

Sounds harsh huh, perhaps it is, but Ust Jamal was sharing this with a bunch of leaders, a bunch of pejuang agama, a bunch of da'ie ila Allah insyaAllah. Who are we to say we are leaders/pejuang agama/da'ie if we are so full of sins at the end of this month, or our hearts are not tied down with His words, or our time management is haphazard, or our deeds are just minimal?

Today marks the 12th of Ramadhan... 8 more days before we reach the last 10 days, 18 days till we meet the end of such a blessed month.

Andai ini merupakan Ramadhan terakhirku...

Anyway, my grandaunt passed away yesterday morning. Not really that close to her, only see her once a year or so. She's been sick for the past 18 years? For as long as I can remember, I only see her on a walking stick, half paralysed, walking very very slowly with the help of the maid. And for just as long as I can remember, each time we meet she would look at my face into my eyes for a long time, and when I salam her she would hold me close and each time she would leave me with some advice. Just as my other grandaunt, I remember them for their advices. Eventhough I can hardly remember what the exact advices are, common ones: study hard, don't go around looking for relationships, take good care of yourselves; I value them...

Yesterday I saw my grandaunt's face, so pale, so serene, so still. My granduncle was the first to tabur pacai (err...?) around her head, and looking at them, I just feel so sebak. I feel for him. He's been taking good care of her and now she goes, to return to Allah... I see my aunts and uncles and cousins continue to tabur pacai and I feel for them. What if it's my own mother there? Or my own grandmother? How it feels to see their pale face one last time and never to see it again afterwards except in pictures, videos and memory... Never able to talk to them again... Never to kiss them again... Never to see their smile again...

People leave us... No matter how close we are, how much we love and care for them, one day they WILL no doubt leave us... (Or we leave them first we don't know either) It's about how much we treasure having them around, being able to talk to them and seeing them smile... And it's about remembering that nothing, absolutely NOTHING is kekal in this world. There is only ONE who is kekal. And it's about remembering what are we here on this earth for again... All of us have a predetermined limited time given to us, all of us WILL go someday. The question is, what will be our state that we leave the world in, and will our deeds be enough when it's time to go?

This video just made me very very sad...



We share the same world, the same earth, yet....

It's something for us to think about.

Anyway, I had a crazy weekend, and the craziness didn't stop there.

I'm at SCBE again right now, supposedly to study and do work (but apparently my harddisk has decided to make it hard for me to continue ICT, it hanged!! I better back-up soon sehhhhh) but as usual, visit facebook first... And here I am now on blogger...

So yeah, crazy weekend....

Started off with Friday rush. Had ICT meeting at noon, and so had to create and fill a PBWiki page AND I also had to rush my Chem lab report before going for lab prac. Completed it late and went to lab late. I seem to miss the briefing every week. Thank God I have a friend like Harizah...

After lab, met up with the Bio gang (only Harizah and Jeffrey couldn't join us) to celebrate Pie's birthday at Sakura Pioneer. Haha, he kena saboed and he enjoyed it! We truly filled our stomach (though I had it better this time... the last time I went Sakura with family was super duper kenyang, tak senonoh seh perangai). And because we laughed and laughed and laughed (satu satu kerenah HAHA) we couldn't eat that much. It was a happy Friday night I should say.... Had been 'enjoying' myself alot sehh...

After the dinner celebration, I rushed home (did some work on the train to save time) and finished up the 3 e-learning ALS tasks. Managed to submit all within the last few minutes seh, haha, alhamdulillah. Perangai last minute habis! Buruk!

Then on Saturday morning, I attended the CLF at SMU. I was late, and pretty much lost, so I was so paiseh to enter initially. But then, what's the point of just sitting outside alone right?? So just braved myself and entered. They were still on the first speaker. He was a very good presenter! Mr Sunny Goh... Hmmm... Eventhough I was lost in the topic (I didn't go in the hope to understand anything anyway.... ), I felt that he managed to engage the audience well. I didn't really enjoy the second speaker. I dunno, I just find his presentation opinionated uhh... And his mimik2 muka tak penting eh. Maybe it's just me uh... I didn't get a feedback form to say that...

The discussion session was interesting. Open for 'debate' amongst the presenters, commentators and audience. About race vs class. About the media. And more uh. I felt out of place, the feeling of 'macam-paham'ness but since I told myself, "I'm here to be exposed to this, to observe..." and so, that's exactly what I was there to gain. I wish I can speak as well as them. 3 years to train myself to present better...

Afterwards, I walked around Bugis Junction to find a suitable present for Ad. I took a long time walking round and round. Some of the shops, I visited at least thrice la seh! I ended up buying three things for myself too. Yikes! My mum just told me not to spend unnecessarily these few months up to October to contribute abit to my eldest brother's wedding preparations. Uh oh. Felt so guilty for spending after that. But I needed the new wallet. My old wallet dah koyak rabak, zip pon dah tercabut. The air freshener thingy was a different matter though. Argh!!!

Then I rushed to pray, get murtabak, meet Jamie at Tampines, put the present together and travel to Changi Beach for Ad's birthday celebration....

Ad... I miss youuuuuu!!!!

We were there for a short while only, cos Ad had to rush back to her house for awhile to get the booking receipt for the pit and shelter, and since I had to go off anyway, I follwed her to Simei; Faj drove. Faj wore tudung already, so sweet! She's the 3rd friend I see started wearing tudung last year/this year. So anyway, when I parted with Ad at Simei, we hugged and I really felt like crying. I felt so so bad for having to leave early. I felt so so bad for not being there when she had the operation, or when she was facing life's challenges. She updated me about some things in the car, and I was like, "How I wish I could have been there... What a friend, I didn't even know..." Really, on the way to Simei mrt alone, I really felt like crying. I have truly neglected my family and friends. I dunno if what I'm practicing is the best for all, but yeah, I feel bad, I feel guilty.

I reached Masjid Kassim at 7 plus, just in time for Maghrib. After Maghrib, straightaway went for my duty for registration. Since I was handling registration, I entered the talk late. The talk was interesting, but... either I was too tired, or really, my heart needs some spiritual cleansing. It was hard for me to absorb what the lecturer was talking about. Maybe it's my perception that it would be a heavy topic which caused me hard to concentrate and make sense of it all. But I guess I managed to get the gist of it, especially with the follow-up by Ust Noor afterwards during dinner/supper. It makes me think and ponder, and gave me a headache as the topping on the ice-cream aka lack of sleep. InsyaAllah I'll attend all 8 talks. May Allah ease the path for me...

I reached home late. Argh! Dahlah weekdays duduk hostel, weekends pon sehari suntuk takde rumah, ish ish ish... But then, the time spent at home isn't quality time with the family anyways. I'll just be surfing the net. But then again, to come home so late, it just so... I dunno what's the right word... I guess, 'disrespectful'? Not that I'm very respectful of my parents to begin with, but hey, I'm trying.

Since I came home late, I woke up late the next morning! Ni seriously, bangun terkejut beruk nye. I woke up, saw the clock, and was like, "OHMYGOD! MAAAA!!!" Hahahaha. It was like 8.30, and I was supposed to relief a class at 8am!!!!! Crazy seh... Luckily, the main trainer for my class was still there. She didn't even know I was supposed to relief. Even the office didn't have my name on the list, anyway!!! Apparently I was supposed to replace another relief...

But yeah. The first class was like out of control seh. It was a sec 2 class. Very incooperative! But I let the main trainer just continue what she was doing uh. I had to conduct one of the activities, but only the start, cos after that the main trainer took over back. I felt redundant haha. But good experience of trying to control a class like that...

The next class was a good experience. Not without it's set of challenges of course. I had to relief with Kak Rabiah. Apparently she's a relief too, and so neither of us know where the students stopped and can't prepare much. When finally we got to figure out where the class stopped (from the students who came early/on time rather), we then found out that we couldn't open the slides. So I did a quick slide presentation according to the lesson plan. Copy paste seh! I managed to do halfway only. Continued again during break. And all in all, I did up a spontaneous slide presentation of 18 slides in that 2 and 1/2 hrs!

The topic was about physical care. But our focus was on beautiful soul. It was an interactive class. I loike! We talked about fairy tales, we read an article, we watched a video, we had group discussions, we had sharings, we had questions (dajjal semua keluar sehhh). Fun experience! The class was easier to handle. I only had trouble with one group who refused to discuss together throughout the whole class! I have a problem with quiet people. I dunno how to make them talk, seriously.

I'sd love to teach their class again :)))) But I can't commit uh... Especially since their class is at 11.30-2.30 and normally I'd have to attend my own class! Just that today has one week (or rather, one day) break.

Speaking of class... I think I I haven't been getting knowledge, I'd just been acquiring more and more information... I hadn't truly understood and applied those 'information' to life. Ish ish... I don't think I am a good representation of DPI students. Hish!

Need to be more humble. Need to remind myself that what I know is comparable to just a drop of water in the whole wide world. Maybe even less....

Ok, I should really get back to work. Spent more than 2 hours on this already. Aiyooooooo!

I wanna go out of Sg during the hols. Hopefully NEMC KRC falls on a holiday Sunday when I have no madrasah!!

I learned something new today :)

Membaca tasbih kafarah. Akhiri majlis dengan membaca tasbih kafarah dan surah al-Asr secara sedar dan memahami serta menghayati maknanya. Maksud hadis:

Daripada Abu Barzah r.a. katanya, Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda pada penghabisannya jikalau beliau s.a.w. hendaklah berdiri dari majlis yang ertinya: "Maha Suci Engkau ya Allah, dan saya mengucapkan puji-pujian pada-Mu. Saya menyaksikan bahawasanya tiada Tuhan melainkan Engkau saya mohon ampun serta bertaubat pada-Mu." Kemudian ada seorang lelaki berkata. "Ya Rasulullah! Sesungguhnya tuan mengucapkan sesuatu ucapan yang tidak pernah tuan ucapkan sebelum ini." Baginda bersabda: "Yang demikian itu adalah sebagai kafarah(penebus) daripada apa saja yakni kekurangan-kekurangan atau kesalahan-kesalahan yang ada di dalam majlis itu."

(Diriwayatkan oleh Imam Abu Daud juga diriwayatkan oleh imam Hakim iaitu Abu Abdillah dalam kitab Al-Mustadrak dari riwayat Aisyah radiallahu anha dan ia mengatakan bahawa hadis ini adalah sahih isnadnya.)

Oh, and I watched Pursuit of Happiness at NTUMS Exam Welfare Package just now. Aww... The strong willpower to keep going and fight for happiness no matter what comes in the way is so... inspiring...

Though the movies does make me feel a bit down, and tired. Tengok dia lari sini lari sana makes me feel as if I had been running around myself. I wouldn't know how would I be if I were to be in his position...

Several years ago an imaam moved to London. He often took the bus from his home to the downtown area.

Some weeks after he arrived, he had occasion to ride the same bus. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him twenty pence too much change. As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, you better give the twenty pence back. It would be wrong to keep it.

Then he thought, oh forget it, it's only twenty pence. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company already gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a gift from Almighty Allah and keep quite. When his stop came, the Imaam paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the twenty pence back to the driver and said "Here, you gave me too much change."

The driver with a smile replied,
Aren't you the new Imaam in this area? I have been thinking lately about going to worship at your mosque. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change.
When the Imaam stepped off the bus, his knees became weak and soft. He had to grab the nearest light pole and held for support, and looked up to the heavens and cried,
Oh Allah, I almost sold Islam for twenty pence!
Remember, we may never see the impact our actions have on people. Sometimes we are the only knowledge of Quran someone will read, or the only Islam a non-Muslim will see. What we need to provide, Insha Allah is an example for others to see. Be careful and be honest everyday, because you never know who is watching your actions and judging you as a Muslim

Shared by Sis Ashikin NTUMS. Tersentak jap bila baca. Our actions can truly reflect alot on Islam. We are young ambassadors of Islam wherever we go. I'm ashamed to have been proud of some of the things I had done or said over the past few days as I reflect back on what kind of image I had portrayed as a Muslimah.... And what's done cannot be undone...

"Be thankful of the setbacks you have for it makes you a better person from wgo you are now". Often we were told to appreciate the good things we own/have but when we are faced by obstacles we tend to throw a temper, give up, blame others or do something stupid. Astghfirullah! In the end, we live in regrets or possibly we turn bad, but did anyone wonder why such things happen to us? Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda, "Barangsiapa yang Allah mahukan ebaikan untuknya nescaya Dia akan mengujinya dengan kesusahan" [Riwayat Al-Bukhari] So hand on there it shall be gone one day. When this is over not only do you become smarter and stronger to overcome future obstacles but you turn to be a better Muslim in the process InsyaAllah.

It is only our sins that prevent us from getting His rahmat and hidayah. Thus, a Muslim with so many sins is as good as a non-Muslim in this duniawi world. Even hough all Muslims are promised paradise, do we actually want to spend time inhell to relinquish our sins where one day there is like a thousand years in this world? So don't take things for granted my brothers and sisters. Take good care of your soul and iman and insyaAllah , we will be very close to Allah s.w.t.

Rasulullah s.a.w. said "A man might speak a word without thinking about its implications, but because of it, he will plunge into the hellfire further than the distance between east and west." (narrated by Bukhari & MUslim) True enough my beloved brothers and sisters, we sometimes on't think before we say something. And we keep doing it over and over again, ignorant to the fact of how grave the consequences may be. Our tongue should never react quicker than our brain. For what we say and the manner in which we speak, portrays us as a muslim. So let us make a point to always be in clear conscious control of whatever we say. Cause we don't atually realise how our tongue can lead us to grave consequences when not in control. Start today, give it a try. InsyaAllah, Allah s.w.t. will make it all easier for all of us.

And if he comse nearer to Me, I go one cubit nearer to him. If he comes one cubit nearer to Me, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him. And if he comes to me walking, I go to him running." [Sahih Bukhari]

Surah Al-Baqarah ayat 286: "Ya Tuhan kami, janganlah Engkau hukum kami jika kami lupa atau kami melakukan kesalahan. Ya Tuhan kami, janganlah Engkau bebani kami dengan beban yang berat sebagaimana Engkau bebankan orang-orang sebelum kami. Ya Tuhan kami, janganlah Engkau pikulkan kepada kami apa ang tida sanggup kami memikulnya. Maafkanlah kami, ampunilah kami dan rahmatilah kami. Engkaulah pelindung kami, maka tolonglah kami menghadapi orang-orang kafir."

"He who emigrates (from his home) in the cause of Allah, will find on earth many dwelling places and plenty to live by..." (An-Nisaa: 100) DO things (be it for yourself, family, or friends) because of Allah... One shall find it easy even when in times of difficulty and gain true happiness from doing it.

"For every hardship I complain, there are 10 God-given gifts I have to appreciate. For every bad memory I wish to drown, there are 10 wonderful ones I need to remember. For every horrible experience I go through, there are 10 sweet things waiting for me." Allah has given us so much more than He has taken away. He is never unfair. From Nurfarahin Md Amin.

JUST DO YOUR BEST, LET GOD DO THE REST. Short and sweet phrase. This applies to anything we do in life. Often we will not get what we want by just asking for it. We have to work for it and earn it. What I'm trying to say is kalau kita nak sesuatu, haruslah kita usaha. Selepas itu, serahkan kepada Allah s.w.t. Never have regrets and remember, sometimes you get what you want and sometimes you don't. Life still goes on.

Rasulullah (pbuh) once said, "The greatest reward comes with the greatest trial. When Allah s.w.t. loves apeople, He tests them. Whoever accepts that win His pleasure but whoever is discontent with that earns His wrath" (Tirmidhi). As we go through today, there may be problems and obstacles that we may have to face. As we are racing against time to submit that assignment due soon, there might be last minute problem that crops up. But insyaAllah if we believe and trust in Allah, we can go through it all with ease :) "If Allah wants to do good to somebody, He afflicts him with trials (to be continued, sry my hp died)
