<div>
The first time I've imagined to attend 2015's Muktamar, I could not think how would I feel. It would be so different compared to when I joined last time when I was unmarried with no child, so carefree to go anywhere. Plus I am now one of the super seniors among the Malaysian students. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It <b>IS</b> different. Time changed.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Last week when I hold my usrah Qalbun Jadid, we shared our reflections during winter break. Some of us did not go anywhere (I mean, travelling), some did go from east to west of the States (like there's no other time to go to the other side of the world :P)</div>

<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Beginning with Muktamar, most of us helped volunteering for the event. Becoming a PA for the speaker, cik <i>N1</i> learned a lot - from handling things technically and formally until getting a lot of personal sharing from the speaker. It's one of the chance that you can be very close to a well known person to gain as much as you can. And all the chaos happened during the muktamar - haha.. it's common to have such things (or maybe it's just me who always feel 'gelabah' when things don't work the way it should haha..)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Traveling is not just driving or riding a vehicle and sight-seeing when you go with a group of people. And imagine going with 5-6 cars together to the same place! It's fun, but yet can be a hassle if not handled properly. :p Cik <i>M</i> and Cik <i>N2</i>, even myself realized that having different opinions to make a decision is an art (eh yeke?) or decision making. Cik <i>M</i> learned that even if you are a peacemaker, you still need to contribute something to your travel-mates - not just agree and follow. hehe.. And being a group leader, cik <i>N2</i> finds that it is a challenge for her to satisfy each person in the group. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
There we learned. Musafir is where you learn who our sisters really are. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And by staying at home too, cik <i>A1</i> and cik <i>A2</i> actually did something about themselves and people around them. We were (and are now... :) ) so busy struggling with our studies, job, and DnT, sometimes we don't have time to get to know our true selves and people. Somehow when there's an event happened, only then we realized that we still don't know a simple thing.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Cik <i>L</i>, finally, had a diverse experience where she spent her winter break tadabbur-ing the 'alam on an island. Seeing how a volcano 'lights up' like a flood of lights at night, it's not exaggerating to say how can you deny Allah is the Creator of the universe? </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wherever we go, whatever we do, apart from your normal schedule, there is so much things to learn and improve yourselves. We have guidelines from the Quran and Sunnah - check the 10 Muslim characteristics, aim what you want to achieve.</div>
<div>

<span style="color: yellow;">It’s January 3rd. wanted to share something but I think I forget the point. Nvm <i class="_4-k1 img sp_ZrsPFjUrAQL sx_a7dbf8" style="background-image: url(https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/rsrc.php/v2/yv/r/0ZIO9JhgCXd.png); background-position: 0px -357px; background-repeat: no-repeat no-repeat; background-size: 18px 476px; display: inline-block; height: 16px; vertical-align: -3px; width: 16px;"><u style="left: -999999px; position: absolute;">smile emoticon</u></i></span></div>

<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<span style="color: yellow;">We had a rough year last year, lots of ups and downs. We moved like a nomad in the summer, struggled with research when you have a toddler (can’t even imagine having 2 kids yet :0).</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">

<span style="color: yellow;">And at the end of the year, I learned that my thoughts are now different compared to when I was an undergraduate. Perjalanan hidup bermusafir benar2 mematangkan kita. </span></div>

<span style="color: yellow;">And that’s how life is. What we want to focus is why do we live here on Earth, it’s not just being born and live until you die. And I believe that Allah didn’t just create me for nothing in this world. </span></div>

Bismillah...<br />
<br />
I was asked several times,<br />
<br />
Why US?<br />
Tak susah ke? (<i>Isn't it hard?</i>)<br />
How does it feel to be a US PhD student?<br />
<br />
I do expect these kind of questions. US is known to be one of the challenging places to get a PhD.<br />
<br />
Here's why.<br />
<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>You are required to take graded technical courses, in my case, total of around 36 credit hours (around 12 courses). You have to make sure you do study like undergraduates - finish the homework, do your best in exams and get good grades. Definitely to maintain your CGPA above 3.</li>
<li>You need to pass a preliminary exam. The system is different across schools and departments. Once you pass the exam, then you are officially a PhD student. Now you can work with your research seriously.</li>
<li>Your professor might hold you longer than you should be to help him/her on the research. Well, it depends. But the normal length of PhD here is 5-6 years full time. </li>
</ol>
<div>
Plus additional on myself</div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Having a toddler while doing PhD is a big challenge already. Times to study at home is like none. She will grab my attention while I'm on my laptop, reading papers, or even when I'm on the phone browsing things.</li>
<li>Living overseas limits you to find a baby sitter. A daycare here would cost about $500-$800 per month. That's the same as our monthly rent! So my husband sacrifice his daytime to take care of her and working remotely to Malaysia during nighttime.</li>
</ol>
<div>
While I am still struggling searching for the best topic for my research, I could not comment more until I get it on track and feel more peaceful later on inshaAllah. For now, I'm fully thankful to Allah for allowing me to survive the first year of my PhD journey, and keeping me alive and energetic for my second year. Ameen...</div>

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...<br />
<br />
2014 almost ended in an hour here in Nashville (I have yet to update my life though).<br />
<br />
I would probably make a short summary of 2014 knowing this is going to be very hard to continue if I stop writing.<br />
<br />
2014...<br />
End of 2013 was a new beginning to me as a mother, thus the big challenge really came this year. Juggling time between handling house, a child, and tarbiyyah is really a BIG challenge.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Tarbiyyah</i></b><br />
Going to usrahs is not that bad, but when other events came.. Subhanallah, sometimes I will be in dilemma whether I should go or not. Making sure all the facilities are infant-friendly, others are comfortable having infants at the event, and the list goes on and on. But, Allah is the Most Merciful, He guided me, provided me the best husband to motivate and never slip to miss his responsibility as a husband and a father.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjheBmdvy759m1zzMjLzCrIJxdPbcu8crm8LDKqdHOBS4OZk681EjGcqvTc65JAEueVg4JtvqEijY3GiX9tLnklKKgNwKXx5lz4_1XDAq_qGPaiqzJ5ZsWFKuFmLqwKvkfn2dNH/s640/blogger-image-24240996.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjheBmdvy759m1zzMjLzCrIJxdPbcu8crm8LDKqdHOBS4OZk681EjGcqvTc65JAEueVg4JtvqEijY3GiX9tLnklKKgNwKXx5lz4_1XDAq_qGPaiqzJ5ZsWFKuFmLqwKvkfn2dNH/s400/blogger-image-24240996.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
Now that I am studying, it drives me crazy a lot more in addition to that I have to work as a teaching assistant as well. Only Allah and my husband know how my first semester looks like.<br />
<br />
And hey, Allah won't give things that you can't handle, right? :)<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah... I manage to get busy as before, though a bit limited, but my time is mostly occupied. I now miss my Gombak & IIUM, for they have built my strength and always keep me motivated whenever I feel down and challenges came by.<br />
<br />
Allahu akbar!<br />
<br />
<b><i>The daughter</i></b><br />
Our beautiful daughter grows well, mashaAllah.... From not being able to do anything other than crying out loud (and smiles and giggles sometimes), Aufa is now able to wear a winter cap by herself, and help to put her toys in the box.<br />
<br />
Subhanallah, she's a grown up. A year old, she can do a lot more than I can ever imagine. Really, human beings are the best creation as Allah said.<br />
<br />
And I am eager now to wait until she can walk well, and able to talk. She surely make me cry when she's able to do that. *I believe my mother must be excited when I was very small back then :')*<br />
<br />
<b><i>The future</i></b><br />
I finally have the courage to apply for graduate school again. My long-term plan to have a doctorate degree, I thought I should pursue it very soon. And so I did, only to a school. And I got the offer, alhamdulillah. Allah made it easy.<br />
<br />
The hard part was the money to fly. I have the teaching assistantship that covers only tuition fee, insurance, and monthly allowance. But Allah guided us through all the challenges. It's true, when we do things with good intention, Allah will guide and help inshaAllah.<br />
<br />
Trust Him. :)<br />

<br />
<br />
And here I am back in Nashville, Tennessee, but now with the best husband and daughter, for more or less 4 years I guess.<br />
<br />
More challenges, more fun I guess. hehe.<br />
<br />
Deciding to take a PhD is not an easy decision. It will take your 4-5 years of life stuck in the class and piles of journal papers. You will not have a good salary as other experienced employees like your friends do. And time with your children (but those who work face the same thing though.. :D)<br />
<br />
But Allah knows best. My intention to pursue this is to become a professional in my field. Personal reasons and wider missions inshaALlah!<br />
<br />
<b><i>The family</i></b><br />
My youngest sister finally graduated from high school last few weeks. Subhanallah, time flies so fast, I might still treating her like a baby sis (Nazirah, you now have a child! duh~). My parents are busy looking for her post-school plans, inshaAllah the best will come. More US grads? haha.<br />
<br />
My only brother finally done with his undergraduate last week, and so his commencement will be on May inshaAllah... Congratulations brother! Now I have an EE gang in the house hehe.<br />
<br />
And Angah, of course, making money now. :p<br />
<br />
Subhanallah, all have grown up. I don't know how Mak and Ayah is feeling right now, probably happy with the achievements of their children (alhamdulillah). In the other side, they might feel sad when everyone will have their own life to go on, if not now, will be soon.<br />
<br />
For my dear Mak and Ayah, we will always be your children and both of you will always be our Mak and Ayah. Nothing will replace that until even we enter Jannah inshaALlah. :') O Allah, forgive our parents and love them as they have love us since we are born. Ameeen...<br />
<br />
As for my in-law side, my sister-in-law got married early 2014. And Aufa now have 2 cousins, alhamdulillah! Welcome Samir Salahuddin and 'Iffah! We will meet if Allah permits for sure, Aufa is surely eager to meet her cousins. :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And of course, we have entered our third year being together. I thanked Allah for giving me this ni'mah - a husband who is very patient, caring, and loving for who I am. We are still learning towards a blissful marriage and building a great baitul muslim, may Allah guide us. Ameen...<br />
<br />
<b><i>
2015.... What's coming up?</i></b><br />
I rarely succeed in achieving my annual goals, usually maybe around 20-30 percent. But, one thing for sure, I don't want to give up giving hopes to myself. Allah has never close the door of taubah to us, why would I give up now?</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
One of the video that I listened just tonight, gave me motivation to do this continuously. My dream to memorize the whole Qur'an since I was in school - I shall never give up. InshaAllah :)<br />

<br />
I know I haven't finished my 2013 roll-up. Searching for some time to do it.<br />
Will do it somehow inshaALlah.<br />
<br />
Saying that,<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
These past few weeks were a hectic one. I can say almost weekdays and weekends are totally full. If not having programs, we'll be away in either parents' house. Nights are filled, days are the only time I have to do house chores.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until last 2 weekends, my husband and I talked about thinking to have a getaway. Nak lepaskan lelah. Seriously we were so exhausted at that time with 4-5 events in 2 days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But not having to think and plan, we almost forget about it and continue our normal tasks.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And yesterday, my husband suddenly said something while we were in the car... Since he joined this path, he is rarely in a complete rest. Always busy with events and tasks. SubhanaLlah, Allah has not let him to stay put so he will stay in pace doing da'wah.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
And I myself, reflecting, Allah has located me in places that are still struggling too. Wherever I run, there are still lots of jobs need to be done.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
And we both reflected. We need rest to gain back our energy, but there is no stop sign in this path until we meet Him in the Hereafter.</div>

<b><u>Story 3</u></b><br />
Leaving Intel is part of the things that I have to do to leave Penang for good. Leaving my usrahmates and the kids (are they really kids? ^_~ ) are totally hard. I have built the love for almost 2 years, it's hard to leave them.<br />
<br />
My usrahmates and murabbi were the awesomest usrah. I was the youngest of course in the group (perasan muda lah saya :p ), the others are ranging from 2 to 4 years older than me and all of them are form Northern states. So of course the slang will be northern, but not too thick. Which I kinda like it. :)<br />
<br />
But the most important thing was I learned a lot about tarbiyyah system in Malaysia. When I came back from US last time, I kept thinking myself whether I'm able to cope with Malaysian style or not, whether I choose the correct path, and even whether I will not 'run' away again. My Penang sisters really helped me to change my views and feels, Alhamdulillah...<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
Qiyam together</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Food time in every usrah (eh?) </div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Daurah murabbi - helped me a lot rather than approaching ppl out of nowhere haha~</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Discussing on mutarabbi issues during usrah</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
Mukhayyam with cool and 'sempoi' <i>kakak</i>s and <i>makcik</i>s</div>
<br />
Subhanallah, I feel refreshed every time I came back home! ^_^<br />
<br />
Adding on, having a liqa with teens made me feel younger. And they have made me feel hard to leave Penang!<br />
<br />
It's hard to find teens like them nowadays, who are seeking tarbiyyah everywhere. They are the one who always ask me when to have usrah, when is the next ikramteens event, and even volunteering to help organize one.<br />
<br />
My adik2 who always keeping me awake every time I almost falling 'asleep'. :)<br />
<br />

<br />
Another liqa' with young adults (<i>saya lah juga</i>) also was a fun one, alhamdulillah. :) :) :)<br />
They are around the same age as mine, but they share different life stories. To be truthful, I can see they appreciate their tarbiyyah life more that I do.<br />

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...<br />
<br />
I know 2013 has been the slowest updating year for this blog as I keep all my daily lives update somewhere else, and have no <strike>time </strike>motivation to write for people.<br />
<br />
But on these few entries, perhaps I could write something about my life in 2013 that could benefit others, inshaAllah (assuming people are reading this blog for sure.. haha). :)<br />
<br />
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Story 1</span></h4>
After the biggest event so far of getting married at the end of the year before, living far apart felt so hard... Like people always said, the the honeymoon mode. But we were back to work few days after walimah. My husband (later to be said as zauji) is the one who always traveled to Penang for almost 2 weeks, while I was only back in KL once a month.<br />
<br />
It was a very tiring period. But it left us lots of sweet memories. (Penang has such many places for short honeymoon. I mean short here is like a dinner time or midnight walk?)<br />
<br />
<b><u>What I got?</u></b> Besides the hardship, hard feelings, Allah had given us times for us to build the love in His own plan. And that has made us strong, alhamdulillah. Don't complain much, seek opportunities between the hardships that you are facing.<br />
<br />

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Story 2</span></b></h4>
Making such a big decision to change such a good job is pretty hard. Good income (not as high as working in O&G for sure), great experience great working environment and friends - seriously these are hard to find anywhere else. Only the workload is not fun (haha really?).<br />
<br />
But really, the decision has to be made. Pros and cons counted. InshaAllah it was a good move. :) But it is hard, yeah. I still keep in touch and ask them about work, friends so closely for quite some time.<br />
<br />
There you go, my first job.<br />
<br />
<b><u>What I got?</u></b> Great experience, good colleagues and friends. I do learn that something in this world is not permanent. People in my team come and go. I learned about life after studies, which I could say entering the 'real' life. Working life taught me to balance your work with family and other activities. I struggled this a lot, and still am. It's a challenge to me, and I learn some more things along the way. :)<br />

Bismillah...<br />
<br />
Dah sebulan lebih aku bertukar tempat bermastautin. Alhamdulillah sebulan juga aku cuba sesuaikan diri balik dengan hidup 'orang KL' yang dah lama tinggal.<br />
<br />
Urusan-urusan tanggungjawab di Penang baru saja selesai, cuma tinggal benda-benda kecil yang perlu ku pantau. Selainnya, sudah aku 'passdown' pada orang tetap di sana.<br />
<br />
Dalam sebulan aku tinggalkan Penang, adik-adik sibuk bertanya..<br />
<br />
A: Akak, kami dah ada naqibah baru ke?<br />
B: Akak akak, bila kami nak sambung usrah?<br />
C: Akakkk... ada budak baru nak join usrah ni. Macam mana?<br />
<br />
Aku yang bergerak agak 'slow' ni dibuai diri cuba menyesuaikan hidup yang 'jam & sakit kepala' - baru terkial-kial nak buat kerja dengan lebih pantas. Dengan kudrat yang kurang bertenaga berbanding bulan-bulan lepas... huhu.<br />
<br />
Maka adik-adik,<br />
Naqibah-naqibah baru anda nampaknya dah bersedia, menanti masa adik-adik available saja.<br />
<br />
Akak rindu semangat korang~</div>

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...<br />
<br />
*Saya tahu saya dah lama tak meng-update blog ini secara berkala. Sedang mencari motivasi untuk kembali menulis inshaALlah - walaupun berapa kerat je yang melawat agaknya...<br />
<br />
Kalau di Malaysia, bahang Pilihanraya Umum ke-13 sudah cukup terasa. Saya mengundi di Selangor walaupun sudah 2 tahun bertapa di Pulau Pinang (masih sayang tanah tempat membesar...).<br />
<br />
Pastinya semua sedang berkira-kira mahu mengundi yang mana. Mahu pilih kerajaan sekarang atau pembangkang? Atau malas nak mengundi? Atau mungkin tak daftar langsung... -__-<br />
<br />
Pada saya, juga pendapat kebanyakan orang hebat2, wajiblah anda yang layak untuk mengundi. Kalaupun anda fikir, "alaah.. satu undi je, tak ada kesan pun" - anda silap.<br />
<br />
Anda mungkin:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Mengurangkan jumlah majoriti yang mungkin memberi kesan kepada kiraan semula atau kemenangan sebuah parti</li>
<li>mempengaruhi orang lain untuk tidak mengundi juga, maka bertambah la orang yang tak mengundi walaupun layak.</li>
<li>telah meninggalkan kewajipan anda untuk memilih pemerintah yang adil dan berwibawa untuk memimpin negara anda...</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR8k9m8_nPkvyLIimbT-tFXA3hJnKrFEsUiTMHlQqeXXukKsLAW" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR8k9m8_nPkvyLIimbT-tFXA3hJnKrFEsUiTMHlQqeXXukKsLAW" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Yang penting, buatlah <b><span style="color: red;"><u>research</u></span></b> sedikit dari kedua-dua belah pihak (parti pemerintah & pembangkang) supaya penilaian anda lebih telus dan meluas. Kemudian, sebelum mengundi, <b><span style="color: red;">istikharah</span></b> sebanyaknya. Tenang hati, pilihlah calon yang terbaik buat diri anda.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
ps: Macam nak pilih calon teman hidup pulak rasanya...</div>

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...<br />
<br />
Masa mula2 bekerja dulu, saya dah sedar yang saya akan bekerja di tempat yang didominasi oleh golongan <strike>bukan</strike> belum Islam. Maka saya terasa tanggungjawab bertambah selain bekerja - menyampaikan Islam kepada mereka.<br />
<br />
Tapi saya tak reti berkata-kata. Peramah bercerita sana-sini.<br />
<br />
Namun, alhamdulillah.. ada teman sekerja yang kadang2 bertanya tentang apa yang saya lakukan -<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
kenapa saya berpuasa, sedangkan sekarang bukan bulan puasa?<br />kenapa saya perlu solat?</blockquote>
<br />
Itu antara cara biasa lah kan. Mereka datang bertanya dahulu, lalu kita menyampaikan.<br />
<br />
Saya sendiri, nak mula dari mana?<br />
<br />
Sejak beberapa lama diberi tugasan di bahagian testing, saya belajar sesuatu dari rakan sekerja yang juga Muslim.<br />
<br />
Dia tak kisah sebut Astaghfirullah, Bismillah, Assalamualaikum, ketika bekerja dengan non-Muslim.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"Astaghfirullah, apa u buat ni?"<br />"Innalillah, tamat sudah riwayat board ni...."</blockquote>
<br />
Memanglah sepatutnya tak perlu rasa apa2 bila bercakap dengan mereka, cuma kadang2 mungkin kita terasa yang tak perlu menyebut kuat2 (atau sebut dalam hati je) bila berhadapan dengan golongan ini.<br />
<br />
Mungkinkah...<br />
Mereka akan tertarik bila kita menyebut 'kata2 keramat' tu, dan mahu bertanya lagi?<br />
<br />
Mungkinkah...<br />
Mereka akan tersentak, seperti Umar mendengar ayat Quran bacaan adiknya dahulu?<br />
<br />
Allahua'lam~<br />
<br />
Cuma pandangan saya, bila kita mengaplikasi amalan2 tersebut di mana saja, kita akan lebih merasakan izzahnya kita pada Islam. Rasa lebih lagi mahu menyampaikan ajaran Islam.<br />
<br />
Islam memang best, kenapa nak simpan sorang2? :)</div>

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...<br />
<br />
Berkesempatan mengikuti mukhayyam Teens "Be a Muslim Warrior" (BMW) yang berlangsung selama 2 hari di Kebun Pak Syarif, Teluk Kumbar, Pulau Pinang. Walaupun hanya mampu mengikuti selama sehari, pada saya, impaknya bukan peserta saja yang merasainya.<br />
<br />
Be A Muslim Warrior...<br />
<br />
Saya yang sudah berusia suku abad, masih terfikir apakah layak untuk saya menjadi pejuang Islam?<br />
<br />
Sanggup tak korbankan harta untuk Islam?<br />
Jiwa?<br />
Nyawa?<br />
<br />
Sanggup mati untuk Islam?<br />
<br />
Di kem, saya tak mendengar keluhan (atau mungkin saya yang kurang aware.. :) ) khemah basah dek hujan lebat petang semalam. Yang pasti, mereka cuma mencari solusi, mencari kain sendiri untuk mengelap khemah masing2.<br />
<br />
Makan bersama di dalam talam bulat (Bulatan gembira sambil makan masakan sendiri yang lazat?) - setelah berpenat lelah menangkap ikan dan memasak.<br />
<br />
Mengatasi risau dan takut masing2 ketika kembara malam, semua berjaya meletakkan tawakal mereka pada Allah. *Terutama yang kali pertama, alhamdulillah berjaya mengatasi setelah dipujuk. Subhanallah!*<br />
<br />
Ini adik2 generasi Muslim Warrior akan datang. Tak lama lagi inshaAllah. Saya berdoa mereka tetap dalam semangat kental, berjuang liLlahi ta'ala!<br />

As now has passed half month of Shawwal, I still haven't get the <strike>time</strike> idea to update. So many things on my mind, if I do write, it'll be just ramblings here and there.<br />
<br />
So, anyhow, I hope our Ramadhan has been a successful one, hopefully the best one ever we had. And we have started our 6 days of fasting in Shawwal. Yeah, I just started, so if you haven't, please start now, like, NOW!<br />

My Raya has been a wonderful one alhamdulillah. The best thing was I managed to get everyone who came to Penang for a seafood dinner at Idrus Ikan Bakar on 2nd day of Eid- <i><span style="color: #ffd966;">but no ikan bakar since the cook was still on leave for Raya</span></i>. It was a last minute plan, about 2 hours before dinner time but at least everybody came. Alhamdulillah I'm so happy to see all of them!~<br />

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...<br />
<br />
Today is the 15th Ramadhan. Subhanallah, time flies really fast - I feel like we just started our fasting months few days ago...<br />
<br />
Anyhow, being in Penang was awesome with loads of things happening everywhere. Ramadhan was celebrated alhamdulillah. Even one of my friends said when she went to Queensbay Mall to break fast, it was not a good place to go - it was boring at night, not so many people there.<br />
<br />
I'm guessing people didn't go out that much after breaking fast huh? Or at least not wasting time hanging around :)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Allahua'lam...<br />
<br />
I went to join the 3R program (Remaja Rai Ramadhan @ Teens Celebrating Ramadhan) at Masjid Daerah Balik Pulau, Penang. It was a blast mashaAllah! We thought the total teens will only be around 70 or less, but it turned out to be 110 teens.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bgtJW_HyVT4/UB0wxSafjDI/AAAAAAAAA6M/qw5XqADyyQw/s1600/DSC00071.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="148" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-bgtJW_HyVT4/UB0wxSafjDI/AAAAAAAAA6M/qw5XqADyyQw/s400/DSC00071.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
At first, I didn't expect much from them. They were trying to skip some activities by giving lots of excuses - headache, too hot, sprained leg, too cold in the aircond, etc... And during Jejak Fakir slot, I thought, this is going to be lots of complains from them. *It was a super-duper-very tiring slot, even the facilitators were almost surrendered. huhu....*<br />
<br />
But at the end of the program, before we separated - they said they really want to stay for a longer time. And even some said, "Can we have our school here next to the Masjid? So we can go to Masjid and have some activities right after school..." I was like, waahh subhanaLlah!~~<br />
<br />
So, do we, adults love Masjid like these teenagers do? ;)</div>Deremindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06078722558057835896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31109291.post-27977817308930723792012-07-26T17:48:00.003-05:002012-07-26T17:48:47.794-05:00IFTAR - donation drive<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Dan Ramadhan datang lagi dengan hari ini hari pertama di Malaysia. Subhanallah, saya sebenarnya tidak bersedia sepenuhnya (walaupun dah mula bersedia sejak 2 minggu lepas)... Allahua'lam, apa pun masa tak menunggu kita kan? :)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tahun ini tahun kedua saya berpuasa di perantauan di Malaysia (ceh, bunyi macam jauh sangat je...), Kali ke-3 berpuasa sendirian (taklah banyak mana punnnn...). KL terasa jauh walaupun cuma 4-5 jam memandu saja. Hehe~</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dan seperti biasa, saya rindu nak berICN pagi2 buta, berICN ketika berbuka & terawih. Kalau ada masjid dekat2 yang buat qiyam&sahur, mahu saya cari geng pergi bersama. Hm2222..</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyway, Ramadhan Mubarak to all! :) :) :)<br />

<br />
Harini berpeluang <i>join</i> lawatan hospital anjuran Hidayah Center Pulau Pinang (HCPP) setelah sekian lama teringin nak cuba pergi.... Dan hari ini, kami melawat 1 wad pesakit dewasa dan 1 wad pesakit kanak2.<br />
<br />
Wad pesakit dewasa - ya, ramai yang sudah berada di wad berbulan-bulan. Bak kata seorang auntie, dah macam hotel. Keluar masuk, keluar masuk. Ada yang sakit kanser, leukaemia... etc.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://hus.moh.gov.my/v3/uploads/img4fbed839b39ce.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="281" src="http://hus.moh.gov.my/v3/uploads/img4fbed839b39ce.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Wad pesakit kanak2 - tersentuh hati melihat kanak2 yang terbaring di katil. Ada yang dijaga oleh ibu, ayah, atau penjaga. Ada yang datang dari Indonesia, buat rawatan di sini. Ada kanak2 yang sakit jantung berlubang, terpaksa memakai alat pernafasan untuk masa yang panjang [mungkin<i> forever</i>?]<br />
<br />
*Nota: Untuk kawasan utara, kebanyakan pakar difokuskan di Hospital Pulau Pinang. Jadi pesakit datang dari pelbagai negeri untuk rawatan pakar di sini.<br />
<br />
Ada kisah seorang bayi belum sampai setahun yang sakit jantung.. Dijaga oleh caretaker sepanjang di hospital sejak baru lahir. Ibunya? Tak pernah datang melawat.... Entahlah. Fikir positif, mungkin ibunya ada masalah di mana2 atau mungkin sakit dan tak dapat datang. Fikir negatif -?<br />
<br />
Allahua'lam... Lawatan kali pertama mengingatkan aku untuk bersyukur atas nikmat sihat dimiliki. Aku terbaca dalam majalah Solusi edisi terbaru, jangan berkorban sampai terkorban. Maknanya, jangan sampai kita berkorban untuk orang lain sampai diri kita terjejas kesihatan. Kalau dah sakit, tidakkah kita lebih menyusahkan orang lain, dan kita pula tak dapat membantu orang lain lagi....<br />
<br />
<i>Am I right? ;)</i><br />
<br />
Jangan sengaja mencari penyakit ya!~Deremindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06078722558057835896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31109291.post-50190485280656467502012-06-22T07:30:00.001-05:002012-06-22T20:45:13.862-05:00Rizq<br />
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...<br />
<br />
Kadang2 kita takut nak bagi sedekah, takut duit habis.<br />
Kadang2 kita tak senang bila bayar zakat, fikir kita, nanti duit habis ke zakat. Bila nak ada simpanan tambahan?<br />
<br />
Tapi kita selalu lupa,<br />
Allah dah janji pada kita,<br />
Lagi banyak kita bagi, lagi banyak kita dapat.<br />
<br />
Percaya tak?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Betul ke percaya?</div>
<br />
Ke, cakap je percaya, hati masih ragu2....<br />
<br />
Sedangkan bila kita sedekah, bayar zakat, belanja orang sekali sekala..<br />
Allah akan tambah nikmat pada kita.<br />
<br />
Mungkin Allah akan tambah duit kita<br />
-dengan bonus tambahan<br />
-untung berniaga berlipat ganda<br />
<br />
Mungkin Allah akan bagi berupa harta benda?<br />
-ada orang nak belanja makan seminggu [erk?]<br />
-dapat hadiah Hari Lahir benda yang sangat diidamkan<br />
-lagi?<br />
<br />
Atau...<br />
<br />
Ada juga Allah beri sesuatu yang kita tak nampak<br />
-Allah bagi balik kawan kita yang bergaduh dengan kita<br />
-Anak yang sakit dikembalikan kesihatannya<br />
-Masa untuk kita beramal bertambah walau dengan bebanan kerja yang masih berat.<br />
<br />
dan banyak lagi cara Allah membalas pemberian kita tu dengan cara kita sedar atau tak.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Hebat kan Allah? :)</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i><br /></i></b><br />
<b><i>Maka, nikmat Allah yang mana lagi kita nak lupakan?</i></b><br />

<div>
Anda mahu sukses?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Macam mana ye nak menjadi sukses?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kena beli buku "How To Be Successful In Life" ke?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
(Kalau nak, beli kat <a href="http://www.amazon.com/How-To-Successful-Life-ebook/dp/B005D94RWU">sini</a>)</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Oppsss, nanti! Jangan beli dulu!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sebelum tu, mari kita rujuk balik buku yang paling "authoritative" sekali mengenai topik ini. Al-Qur'an Al-Karim, bukan? Apa yang Al-Qur'an cakap mengenai ciri-ciri orang sukses ni?</div>
<div>
<br />
Kita bukak Qur'an, kita lihat balik Surah Al-Mu'minun..<br />

<div style="color: black;">
Dan mereka yang tetap memelihara solatnya;<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<br />
Ok dah, kita analisa balik apa yang kita baca: macamana hendak menjadi orang yang sukses!<br />
<br />
Kalau kita baca sekali lalu pun, kita boleh tengok ayat-ayat ini menggambarkan ciri-ciri seorang muslim yang sukses, kan? Jadi, apa kita kena buat? Kita kena la cuba untuk buat perkara-perkara yang mendekatkan kita dengan ciri-ciri yang Allah s.w.t sebutkan ini, betul tak?<br />
<br />
Kita tengok ayat yang pertama:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="color: #ffd966;">"Sesungguhnya, berjayalah orang yang beriman" [23:1]</span></i></blockquote>
<br />
Pertama sekali, Allah s.w.t dah berkata, orang yang beriman itu akan sukses! Tapi Allah s.w.t tak berhenti situ saja. Tak semua orang yang beriman itu sama, kan? Apakah ciri-ciri orang beriman, yang sukses ni?<br />
<br />
Mari kita sambung terjemahan ayat yang kedua:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><i>"Iaitu mereka yang khusyuk dalam solatnya;" [23:2]</i></span></blockquote>
<br />
Whoa! Allah s.w.t dah bagitau kita, ciri PERTAMA orang beriman yang sukses ialah <b>SOLAT YANG KHUSYU'</b>!<br />
<br />
Haa... Korang solat dengan khusyu' tak? Ke solat sambil lewa saja? Nak tahu tak, salah satu <i>indicator</i> solat khusyu' ialah, seseorang itu tahu dia sedang berada dalam raka'at yang keberapa. Kalau asyik tertanya-tanya, ni raka'at ketiga ke.. atau keempat ke..? Entah-entah dah lima raka'at dah? Besar kemungkinan, tak khusyu' lah tu.. hehe..<br />
<br />
Salah satu kriteria nak khusyu' dalam solat ialah, <b><span style="color: red;">kita kena tahu apa yang kita cakapkan</span></b>. Jom kita tengok salah satu do'a yang teramat best dalam solat - <u>Do'a duduk antara dua sujud</u>.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;">1. <b>Rabbighfirli</b>.. (Wahai Tuhanku.. Ampunilah dosaku..)</span><br />
<br />
Cuba kita baca ni dengan penuh rendah diri.. ingat balik dosa-dosa yang kita dah lakukan; yang kita buat dengan sengaja atau tak; yang kita buat sambil lewa atau dengan bersungguh-sungguh.. dan kita betul-betul nak bertaubat - taubatan nasuha..<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;">2. <b>Warhamni</b>.. (Sayangilah aku..)</span><br />
<br />
Bila baca do'a ini, rasakan bahawa kita ini sangat dekat dengan Allah s.w.t.. amat-amat mengharap agar Allah s.w.t menyayangi kita.<br />
<br />
Love me, Allah.. Love me..<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;">3. <b>Wajburnii</b>.. (Cukupkanlah aku..)</span><br />
<br />
Pintalah pada Allah s.w.t, agar keperluan kita dicukupkan. Kita ni kan serba kekurangan. Penuh dengan cacat-cela, tubuh badan yang kadang-kadang sakit, fikiran yang selalu bercelaru, akhlaq yang compang-camping; Iman yang lemah.. Dalam solatlah kita merayu pada Allah s.w.t agar semua kekurangan kita dicukupkan.<br />
<br />
Satu kisah dizaman Tabi'it Tabi'in dulu, ada seorang syeikh yang selalu perasan ada salah seorang ahli jemaah Masjid selepas solat, akan terus balik. Lalu syeikh ni pun menasihati si fulan ni, "Apakah kamu tak nak apa-apa dari Allah? Bahkan sampai garam pun aku akan minta kepada Allah!"<br />
<br />
Subhanallah! Jangan kita lalai untuk selalu minta kepada Allah s.w.t!<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;">4. <b>Warfa'nii</b>.. (Angkatlah darjatku..)</span><br />
<br />
Pinta kepada Allah s.w.t agar darjat kita diangkatNya dan kita dimuliakanNya. Bukan sahaja dimata manusia, tapi disisi Allah sw.t. juga.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;">5. <b>Warzuqnii</b>.. (Berilah aku rezeki..)</span><br />
<br />
Mohonlah pada ArRazzaq (yang Maha Pemberi Rezeki) agar kita diberi rezeki yang halal. Allah s.w.t sentiasa memberi rezeki kepada hamba-hambaNya yang suka berusaha, tetapi halal atau haram adalah pilihan kita.<br />
<br />
Rezeki yang halal bukan sahaja terhad kepada duit dan harta. Konsep rezeki amat luas. Keupayaan kita untuk makan, minum, berjalan, bernafas.. hatta sekecil-kecil ni'mat seperti menggerakkan kelopak mata juga adalah rezeki dari Allah s.w.t. Nah, kalau Allah s.w.t tarik balik rezeki yang kita selalu abaikan ni, apa akan jadi?<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;">6. <b>Wahdinii</b>.. (Bimbinglah aku..)</span><br />
<br />
ya Al-Hadi.. (Wahai Maha Pemberi Petunjuk)..<br />
Ihdinas siratal mustaqiim.. (Bimbinglah kami ke jalan yang lurus..)<br />
<br />
Merayulah kepada Allah agar kita sentiasa dibimbing, diberi petunjuk ke jalan yang lurus. Kerana hidayah Allah itu hanya diberi kepada sesiapa yang Allah kehendaki sahaja.<br />
<br />
Pilihlah aku, ya Allah. Letakkanlah aku, dan istiqamahkan aku di jalan yang Engkau redhai..<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;">7. <b>Wa'afinii</b>.. (Sihatkanlah aku...)</span><br />
<br />
Allah s.w.t itu Maha Pemberi Rezeki, tetapi kalau kita tak sihat, macam mana kita nak menikmati rezeki yang Allah bagi? Jujurlah pada diri sendiri, dengan umur kita yang sedikit ini, seberapa banyak kebaikan yang kita telah buat? Kalau kita sakit, amat susah untuk kita menabung untuk akhirat, bukan? Dua ni'mat yang orang selalu tertipu ialah, nikmat lapang dan nikmat sihat. Berdo'a agar kita sentiasa sihat, kerana kesihatan yang kita ada sekarang ni bila-bila masa sahaja Allah s.w.t boleh tarik balik.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #ffd966;">8. <b>Wa'fuannii</b>.. (Maafkanlah aku...)</span><br />
<br />
Sama seperti pembukaan do'a ini, kita meminta Allah s.w.t untuk memaafkan balik segala kesalahan yang kita dah lakukan. Bahkan, bukan sahaja kesalahan-kesalahan yang lalu, tapi juga kesalahan-kesalahan kita di masa hadapan, inshaAllah.<br />
<br />
Kalau kita lihat, do'a ni boleh di baca dalam 10 saat je, kan? Tapi lepas ni, bila kita baca balik do'a ni, cuba kita betul-betul menghayati dan merenungi maknanya. InsyaAllah, solat kita akan lebih khusyu'.<br />
<br />
Dan kalau solat kita dah istiqamah dalam khusyu'nya, tu apa ciri-ciri lain untuk terus sukses?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><i>"Dan mereka yang menjauhkan diri dari perbuatan dan perkataan yang sia-sia;" [23:3]</i></span></blockquote>
<br />
Hmm.. orang-orang yang menjauhkan diri dari perbuatan DAN perkataan yang sia-sia? Orang yang macam mana ni ya? Dalam ayat ini kalau dibaca sebenarnya ada makna yang tersirat. Orang yang seperti ini ialah orang yang.. produktif!<br />
<br />
Ciri KEDUA bagaimana menjadi sukses ialah menjadi orang yang <b>PRODUKTIF</b>!<br />
<br />
Orang yang produktif ialah apabila setiap kata-katanya tidak sia-sia, lalu setiap ucapannya juga akan terjaga. Dia hanya mengatakan yang baik, tak mengumpat (<i>ghibah</i>) orang lain; malah setiap pekerjaannya membawa manfaat kepada orang ramai. Dia bekerja bersungguh-sungguh, dan tidak mensia-siakan waktu. Rasulullah s.a.w. sendiri telah mengingatkan, "Sebaik-baik muslim adalah yang paling bermanfaat kepada orang yang lain", bukan? :)<br />
<br />
Apa akan terjadi kalau seseorang itu produktif dalam perkataan dan pekerjaanya? InsyaAllah dia akan juga produktif dalam hal ehwal hartanya! Orang seperti ini tidak akan lupa untuk menunaikan kewajiban zakat.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="color: #ffd966;"><i>"Dan mereka yang berusaha membersihkan hartanya (dengan menunaikan zakat harta itu);" [23:4]</i></span></blockquote>
<br />
Ciri KETIGA bagaimana menjadi sukses ialah dengan<b> MEMBAYAR ZAKAT</b>.<br />
<br />
Apa kaitan sukses dengan bayar zakat? Dengan membayar zakat, kita dapat membersihkan harta-harta kita. Kalau kita perhatikan, amat sukar untuk kita dapat lari daripada riba'. Zakatlah yang akan dapat menyucikan harta-harta kita dan dapat memberi berkat kepada wang ringgit yang kita pakai; dan sekaligus akan memastikan sukses kita ini akan terus menerus, insyaAllah.<br />
<br />
Lalu apa lagi ciri-ciri orang yang sukses?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="color: #ffd966;">"Dan mereka yang menjaga kehormatannya" [23:5]</span></i></blockquote>
<br />
Kesuksesan harta juga sepatutnya tidak membuatkan sesorang itu lupa sehingga menuruti hawa nafsunya. Dia <b>MENJAGA KEHORMATANNYA</b>, tidak menyalahgunakan hartanya untuk bermaksiat atau berzina (ayat 5-7). Bagaimana seseorang itu boleh sukses kalau maruah dan kehormatannya tergadai?<br />
<br />
Lalu apa lagi ciri-ciri orang yang sukses?<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="color: #f1c232;">"Dan mereka yang menjaga amanah dan janjinya;" [23:8]</span></i></blockquote>
<br />
Muslim yang sukses juga mampu <b>MENUNAIKAN SETIAP AMANAH DAN JANJI</b> yang diberikan kepadanya. Setiap amanah yang diambil, dia tidak akan mungkiri. Setiap janji yang diucapkan, dia akan tepati.<br />
<br />
Dan ciri yang terakhir, Allah s.w.t menutupnya dengan:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i><span style="color: #f1c232;">"Dan mereka yang tetap memelihara solatnya;" [23:9]</span></i></blockquote>
<br />
Maksudnya, setiap orang muslim yang sukses, kemudian mendapat rezeki harta yang melimpah ruah, dia <b>TIDAK AKAN MELUPAKAN SOLATNYA</b>. Solatnya mesti terpelihara dengan khusyu', agar setiap sukses yang dimiliki akan berlanjutan dan terus menerus, insyaAllah.<br />

<br />
Last few days (or maybe last weekend, can't remember), I just came back from somewhere, and wanted to enter my apartment's parking structure. As I reached the card scanner machine in front of the apartment, it was a little bit further than I usually stopped my car.<br />
<br />
A few pedestrians waiting at the side to cross the entrance. So a Chinese uncle came in front of me and helped to scan my parking card...<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/62524/62524,1289947161,1/stock-photo-parking-entrance-in-business-center-or-residence-65260858.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="225" src="http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/62524/62524,1289947161,1/stock-photo-parking-entrance-in-business-center-or-residence-65260858.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Not my apartment parking entrance of course :p</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table><br />
So then, I said, "Thank you!" and started to change my gear back to 'D'.<br />
<br />
The uncle suddenly replied unexpectedly, "<b>Terima kasih, bukan thank you..</b>" and I stopped, smiled back to him and said, "Terima kasih, terima kasih".<br />
<br />
- What I usually do is to say 'Thank you' to non-Malays, and 'Terima Kasih' to Malays. But now, I have to change my mindset to say 'Terima Kasih' most of the time in Malaysia. Of course, this is not applicable to non-Malaysians though they might understand the phrase. :)<br />
<br />
ps: Well, the card was supposed to be easily scanned even if you do not open your car window. But somehow it doesn't work now.. huhu... You really have to be really close to the scanner to get passed.~Deremindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06078722558057835896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31109291.post-2022645330181364222012-03-05T08:05:00.004-06:002012-03-06T06:20:25.231-06:00Nak tambah rezeki?Bismillahirrahmanirrahim....<br />
<br />
Taken from Majalah I February edition, ada 8 amalan penambah rezeki yang boleh kita amalkan setiap hari.<br />
<br />
<b><u>1. Memperbanyak istighfar & bertaubat</u></b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">Kata Allah dalam Al-Qur'an: "Maka Aku katakan kepada mereka: '<span style="color: #c27ba0;"><b>Mohonlah ampun kepada Tuhanmu</b></span>, sesungguhnya Dia adalah Maha Pengampun, nescaya Dia akan mengirimkan hujan kepadamu dengan lebat, dan membanyakkan harta dan anak-anakmu, dan mengadakan untukmu kebun-kebun dan mengadakan (pula di dalamnya) untukmu sungai-sungai.' " (Nuh: 10-12)</blockquote><br />
<i>Kita nak tambah rezeki, hati dan jiwa kita juga kena bersih kan? Barulah Allah lebih sayang dan menggandakan rezeki kita :)</i><br />
<br />
<b><u>2. Meningkatkan ketaqwaan</u></b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">Firman Allah SWT: "... Barangsiapa<span style="color: #d5a6bd;"><b> bertaqwa kepada Allah</b></span> nescaya Dia akan mengadakan <b><span style="color: #d5a6bd;">baginya jalan keluar</span></b>. Dan memberinya rezeki daripada arah yang tidak disangka-sangka. Dan barangsiapa yang bertawakal kepada Allah nescaya Allah akan mencukupkan (keperluan)nya." (At-Talaq: 2-3)</blockquote><br />
<b><u>3. Gemar menyambung silaturrahim</u></b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">Hadith Rasulullah saw: "Barangsiapa yang ingin dilapangkan rezekinya dan dipanjangkan umurnya, maka hendaklah ia <b><span style="color: #d5a6bd;">menyambung tali silaturrahim</span></b>." (Bukhari & Muslim)</blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://jalanjuang.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/vu1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://jalanjuang.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/vu1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<i>Meihat orang lain gembira bukankah satu nikmat untuk kita juga? ;)</i><br />
<br />
<b><u>4. Gemar mendermakan harta</u></b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">Allah berfirman: "Katakanlah: 'Sesungguhnya Tuhanku melapangkan rezeki bagi siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya di antara hamba-hambaNya dan menyempitkan bagi (siapa yang dikehendakiNya)'. Dan <b><span style="color: #d5a6bd;">barang apa saja yang kamu nafkahkan, maka Allah akan menggantinya</span></b> dan Dialah pemberi rezeki yang sebaik-baiknya." (Saba':39)</blockquote><br />
<i>Ni yang selalu kita dengar kan? Harta yang diberi kerana Allah, pulangannya pasti berlipat kali ganda!</i><br />
<br />
<b><u>5. Membiasakan ibadah dengan benar</u></b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">Hadith Qudsi Rasulullah saw bersabda: "Sesungguhnya Allah berfirman: 'Wahai anak Adam, <b><span style="color: #d5a6bd;">sibukkanlah untuk beribadah kepadaKu</span></b>, nescaya akan Aku penuhi dadamu dengan kekayaaan dan Aku tutup kefakiranmu. Jika tidak kamu lakukan nescaya akan Aku penuhi pada kedua tanganmu kesibukan dan tidak Aku tutup kefakiranmu.' " (Ahmad)</blockquote><br />
<i>Pernah tak rasa bila kita sibuk sangat bekerja sampai terlambat solat fardhu, tak pergi solat berjemaah, tak ambil sikit masa nak solat sunat? Tapi walaupun dah banyak masa kita ambil untuk kerja, hasilnya masih tak seberapa. Rasa2 kenapa? Bila kita luangkan masa untuk ibadah, Allah akan mudahkan jalan kita dalam kerja2 kita, dalam usaha kita mencari rezeki...</i><br />
<br />
<b>6<u>. Menunaikan ibadah haji dan umrah</u></b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">Rasulullah saw bersabda: "<b><span style="color: #d5a6bd;">Lakukanlah haji dan umrah</span></b>, kerana keduanya akan menghapus kefakiran dan dosa sebagaimana api menghilangkan karat besi, emas, dan perak." (Ahmad)</blockquote><br />
<b><u>7. Hijrah di jalan Allah (fi sabilillah)</u></b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">Di dalam Al-Qur'an, Allah berfirman: "<b><span style="color: #d5a6bd;">Barangsiapa berhijrah di jalan Allah, nescaya mereka mendapati di muka bumi ini tempat hijrah yang luas dan rezeki yang banyak</span></b>. Barangsiapa keluar dari rumahnya dengan maksud berhijrah kepada Allah dan RasulNya, kemudian kematian menimpanya (sebelum sampai ke tempat yang dituju), maka sungguh telah tetap pahalanya di sisi Allah. Dan adalah Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang." (An-Nisa:100)</blockquote><br />
<b><u>8. Tawakkal kepada Allah</u></b><br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">Hadith Rasulullah saw: "Seandainya<b><span style="color: #d5a6bd;"> kalian mahu bertawakkal kepada Allah dengan sebenar-benarnya</span></b>, pasti Allah akan memberikan rezeki kepadamu sebagaimana burung yang diberi rezeki, pagi-pagi dia dalam keadaaan lapar dan kembali dalam keadaan kenyang." (Ahmad & Tarmizi)</blockquote><br />
<i>Apa2 pun usaha kita, yang penting di akhir usaha mesti ada tawakkal yang sepenuhnya pada Allah. Walau macam mana hebat usaha kita, Allah yang tentukan kita berjaya atau tak.... :)</i><br />

Allahua'lam. ;) Selamat beramal. Semoga dengan bertambah rezeki kita, semakin kuat taqwa kita pada Ar-Razzaq inshaAllah~Deremindhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06078722558057835896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31109291.post-58532058226110474352012-01-31T09:01:00.001-06:002012-02-02T05:35:47.935-06:00The one who is very patience<div><div>Did you know about the second of the Khulafa ArRasyidin, Saidina Umar AlKhattab r.a.?</div><div><br />
</div><div>Saidina Umar AlKhattab r.a. was a very intimidating and feared man. But, he was one of the calmest and most patience among his people.</div><div><br />
</div><div>And he was very practical in his approach on HOW to be patience.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Subhanallah! This is what he said:</div><div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #ffd966; font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">"Any hardship or calamity that I got, I would THANK ALLAH s.w.t for FOUR reasons."</span></b></div><div><br />
</div><div>MasyaAllah, how many of us hold our anger when something bad happened to us? How many of us smile when something bad happened to us? How many of us <b>THANK ALLAH s.w.t</b> when something bad happened to us?</div><div><br />
</div><div>Saidina Umar r.a. continued by saying:</div><div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: medium;">"The first reason, is that the test was not in my Deen."</span></b></div><div><br />
</div><div>Because if you lose your Deen, you lose everything!</div><div><br />
</div><div>Can you imagine if you lose you Deen? Whatever belongings you have lost, your phone, your laptop, your camera, your car, things that you hold dearly to you, is nothing compared to the lost of your Deen! Look at Saidina Umar r.a. How he really value his Deen and Iman. How do you value your Deen and Iman? Will you feel the pain of losing your Deen and Iman, as if you've lost your most prized possession? :)</div><div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: medium;">"The second reason, is that it could have been worst!"</span></b></div><div><br />
</div><div>Did you remember the day you find out your exam results? Your semester grades? Your test marks? How did you do? Did you get lower than what you expected, even though you have tried very your best? You got a B- instead of an A. You got 55% instead of the 80% you think you got.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Well, it could've been worse.</div><div><br />
</div><div>You could've failed it, right? :)</div><div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: medium;">"The third reason, it's kafarah for my sins (i.e. Allah will forgive my sins, if I'm patience, insyaAllah)"</span></b></div><div><br />
</div><div>Sometimes, we forgot that Allah s.w.t loves us very much. :) Be patient, and Allah s.w.t will forgive your sins..</div><div><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #ffd966; font-size: medium;">"The fourth reason, is that the lost of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w was the greatest lost. Anything that happens to me, is nothing compared to the lost of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w."</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div>Allahu Akbar! The love of Saidina Umar r.a. for the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is beyond the love of his children, his wife, or anyone else.</div><div><br />
</div><div>How can we miss the things we lost, if we didn't miss the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w even more?</div><div><br />
</div><div>If we are being tested in the future, can we be calm and patient, as Saidina Umar r.a. did? :)</div></div>Mr. Abanghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08220106871364596345noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31109291.post-30973012230490066102012-01-27T05:57:00.003-06:002012-01-28T01:40:01.808-06:00Being istiqamah<div class="MsoNormal"></div><div class="MsoNormal">Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">We sometimes feel so excited to this 'ibaadah, that 'ibaadah. But yet, are we continuously doing it? Or just when your imaan is at the top of imaan cycle?</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">It's easy to make a start of a good deed, that hard part is how to achieve the steadfastness.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><blockquote class="tr_bq">On the authority of Abu 'Amr, though others call him Abu 'Amrah Sufyan bin 'Abdullah, radiyallahu anhu, who said: I said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me something about Islam which I could not ask anyone about save you." He answered: "Say: 'I believe in Allah', and then stand firm and steadfast."<br />
