Everyday in the morning
it's the greatest sight to see
your smiling face, twinkling eyes
there is no place I'd rather be.
You have lend me your shoulders
when I needed to cry
you always had a towel handy
to dry my tears from my eyes.
You gave me everything I could want
with you nothing else mattered
you have been a great friend
my clothes were never torn and tattered.
You never thought about yourself
so it's safe to say you are not greedy
with the love and support you gave
I never knew what it was to be needy.
The time I share with you
are the greatest moments one could enjoy
it's true you could never be replaced
Mother, you raised one heck of a boy.

the various maqaam or simply put, melodies, in Arabic music..Much like the different keys (G minor,A flat etc..)that we play on the piano, guita.r Reciters of the Quran adopt a combination of the maqaamaat( plural for maqam) to recite the Quran in the best of voicest..

Listen to the changes in keys in accordance to the change in the arabic words.

The various maqaamaat include:
i) Ras
ii) 'ajm
iii) siika
iv) Soba
v) nahaawan
vi) kurd
vii) hijjaz
viii) bayaatii

The lyrics for this song is attached below:

مقام الرست و العجم جميل ، كذا السيكا به فن أصيل، وبعدهما الصبا احساس حزن به يا صاحبي دمعي يسيل ، آآه وبالنهاوند، وبالنهاوند والكرد ستلقى بمعنى الودّ والعطف دليل.. وإن رمت الآذان، وإن رمت الأذان، فذا حجاز يداوي النفس للهمّ مزيل... ولحن بالبياتي نشيد وجد تدور به الرؤوس وت...

the meaning(in malay), as given by a friend of mine:
maqam rast dan ajam itu indah.......begitu juga sika yang mempunyai lagu asli......selepas itu saba yang mempunyai rentak sedih wahai sahabatku,airmataku mengalir.....oh...dan nahawand,dan dengan nahawand dan kurd akan membawa makna kasih sayang dan kelembutan......dan jika kau mengumadangkan azan...dan jika engkau mengumandangkan azan maka lagu hijaz akan menyerlahkan kepentingannya......

What is Khushuu'?

Khushuu' during Salaat is misunderstood by some people as crying and weeping. Rather, it is the presence of the heart during an act of 'ibadah. When a person's heart is fully occupied of what he says or hears, he is in a true state of khushuu'. The concept of Khushuu' in Salaat is very essential.

1- It is a vital factor in making a person successful in this life and in later life.
"Indeed, the believers, who have khushuu' in their Salaat, are the winners."
قد أفلح المؤمنون الذين هم في صلاتهم خاشعون
2-It is a contributing factor for the acceptance of Salaat.
3- It is a way to gain more rewards from the Almighty Allah; the more the
khushuu' a person has, the more rewards he gets.
4- Without Khushuu' the heart cannot easily be purified.

Ways to Gain Khushuu'

A. Pre-Salaat
1- A Muslim should know his Lord very well. Knowing whom one worships makes a person a better worshipper. Having clear and authentic knowledge about Allah increases His love in our hearts. Consequently, faith also increases.
2- Avoiding major and minor sins is very helpful in gaining Khushuu', as the heart becomes more receptive to the words of Allah during and after Salaat.
3- Reciting the Qur'an frequently and consistently softens the hearts and prepares it for Khushuu'. Hard hearts do not gain Khushuu'.
4- Minimize attachment to worldly matters. Gearing one's intentions towards the Afterlife helps against the temptations of life.
5- Avoid excessive laughter and useless arguments as they harden the heart and lead to heedlessness.
6- Stop working as soon as you hear the Azaan. When you listen attentively to the call of Salaat repeat after the muˆz-zin then offer the relevant supplication. This prepares you for a smooth transition from the business with worldly matters to the business with Salaat.
7- Performing wuduuˆ immediately after hearing the Azaan prepares you for the pending Salsat. Wuduuˆ also works as a buffer zone before engaging in Salaat.
8- Going to the mosque early for praying and continuing mention of Allah drives Satan away and help gain concentration.
9- The waiting time for the congregational Salaat helps create a buffer zone between the state of mind before Salaat and the state of during Salaat.

B. During Salaat
1- The Iqaamah itself is a final signal to the mind to be well prepared for performing the actual Salaat. Remember what the messenger of Allah said to Bilal (ra) "Let us enjoy the comfort of the Salaat."
2- When you stand facing the Qiblah remember the following:
a. It might be the last Salaat in your life. There is no guarantee to live longer to catch the next Salaat.
b. You are standing between the hands of Allah, the Lord of the worlds. How can you be busy with something else?
c. The angel of death is chasing you.
3- Do not forget to make isti'azah. It wards off Satan's whispers.
4- Keep your eyes focused on the place of sujuud. This helps you gain more concentration.
5- When reciting the Fatiha, try to recall the response of Allah to you after every ayah you say. (When you say: "al-hamdu lillahi rab-bil 'alamin) Allah responds: "My servant praised me." etc. This feeling of speaking to Allah puts you in the right mood of khushuu'.
6- Beautifying the recitation of the Qur'an has a positive impact on the heart.
7- Recite the Qur'an slowly and reflect upon its meaning deeply.
8- It is recommended to change the suras that your recite from time to time to avoid the mechanic-like state of repetition.
9- Alternate between the various authentic sunan such as proclaiming a different opening supplication in every Salaat.
10- Undoubtedly, understanding Arabic helps you focus on the intended meaning.
11- Interact with the recited aayahs;
a. if you hear an ayah about Allah, glorify Him by saying "Subhaana Allah";
b. If you hear an ayah about Hellfire, say "a'uuthu billaahi mina-n-naar".
c. If you hear a command to make istighfaar, do it.
d. If you hear an ayah that requests tasbiih, make tasbiih.

12- These forms of interactions are very helpful in keeping you focused.
13- When you prostrate, remember that this position brings you closer to Allah. Seize the opportunity to make sincere du'aaˆ. Invest these moments in making sincere supplications.

C- Post-Salaat
e. When you make tasliim, make istighfaar to Allah as you might have made during Salaat.
f. When you praise Allah, thank Him from the bottom of your heart that you have experienced the beauty of Salaat in your heart. Getting used to this habit prepares your for the next Salaat, as you will always be eager to focus in your prayer.
g. One perfection leads to another perfection. If some one perfects his Salaat once, he would be self-motivated to continue on the same level.

May Allah fill our hearts with khushuu' - Aameen.

BE BRAVE
PREPARE FOR STRUGGLE
PERSEVERE
HAVE CERTAINTY THAT ISLAM WILL BE VICTORIOUS.

Fear Allah wherever you are in all times and in all places.
Stand up for Islam no matter who likes it or dislikes it.
Dedicate yourself in changing this world. Go against the grain.
The world needs you.You are the best Community raised up for mankind.

Do you feel khusyuk by the melodious voice or by the meaning?

I feel khusyuk by the melodious voices, sad to say =(

In al-Anwar al-Qudusiyya, Imam ‘Abd al-Wahhab al-Sha’rani quoted Shaykh Muhyi al-Din Ibn al-Arabi:

“If the faqir find his heart [attentive] in listening to the recitation of the Qur’an due to the melodious voice of the reciter, and he does not find his heart [attentive] when hearing it [the Qur'an] from another reciter, then his listening is tainted [ma'lul]: that softness that he finds in his heart is [merely] from human nature.”
[taken from chapter 183 of the Futuhat]

Shaykh Muhammad al-Hasan Ould al-Diddo said:

“…[S]eldom do you find one who is submissivly humble, who, when he hears the Qur’an, is affected by it. The people are [only] affected by the melodious voices of the reciters. They are affected by and react positively to the one whose recitation amazes them. This is not from Khushu’; rather, [true] Khushu’ is connected to the meaning, not the expression [lafz]…”

Jalaluddin al-Suyuti (d. 911 A.H.) He is considered the mujaddid, the renewer of the faith, at the end of the 9th Islamic century. It’s not necessary to list all his great accomplishments, so I will jump straight to the point about his hadith collections.

Al-Kittani called him “the seal of the Hadith Memorizers (huffaz)”.

His pupil al-Dawoodi said, “He was the most knowledgeable of all the scholars of his time in the science of hadith…and he said of himself that he had memorized 200,000 hadiths and said ‘If I found more I would have memorized it”.

Ali al-Qari al-Makki said, “He is the one who revived the science of tafsir…and he collected all the scattered hadiths in his famous Jaami‘.”

Once he reached the age of 40, he went into seclusion in his house and dedicated all his time to worship and authoring, leaving all his prestigious positions and refusing all gifts from the rulers.

He himself saw in a dream that he was asking the Prophet (salallahu'alayhi wassalam) about hadiths and the Prophet said, “Ask oh Shaykh of the Hadith”.

And he confided to his friend, shaykh AbdulQadir al-Shadhili, that he saw the Prophet (salallahu'alayhi wassalam) in the waking state, saying to him, “Oh Shaykh of the Hadith!”
So he said, “Oh Messenger of Allah, am I of the people of Paradise?”,
so he(salallahu'alayhi wassalam) said “yes”.
“Without prior punishment?”
So he (salallahu'alayhi wassalam) said “yes.”

So AbdulQadir al-Shadhili asked him, “How many times have you seen the Prophet (salallahu'alayhi wassalam) while awake?” And he replied, “Seventy-some times.”

Al-Sha’rani said, “I saw in Shaykh Jalaluddin al-Suyuti’s own handwriting a letter, (preserved) with his companion Shaykh AbdulQadir al-Shadhili, to someone who had asked his intercession with Sultan Qaytbay. Its text is as follows:

‘Know my brother that I have been united with the Messenger of Allah (salallahu'alayhi wassalam) until now, seventy five times in which I both saw him and spoke to him, in a waking state. And if it were not for my fear that I will be veiled from him (salallahu'alayhi wassalam) if I approach the rulers, I would have entered the Citadel and interceded for you with the Sultan. But I am a man among the servants of his hadith (salallahu'alayhi wassalam) and I need him (salallahu'alayhi wassalam) to show the (true) hadiths that the hadith scholars have deemed weak as correct, and that is undoubtedly of greater benefit than assisting you, my brother.’ “

As for the matter of seeing the Prophet (salallahu'alayhi wassalam) awake and asking him (salallahu'alayhi wassalam) about the correctness of hadiths, that is normal for the greatest awliya. For example, al-Zawawi (d. 1517 CE) said, “We recite the tasliya on behalf of the Prophet (salallahu'alayhi wassalam) so often that he (salallahu'alayhi wassalam) then sits with us while we are in a waking state (hattaa yaseera yujaalisunaa yaqzatan) …. Then we question him about matters of our religion and about hadiths which are held to be weak in the opinion of our religious scholars. Subsequently we base our behavior on his words (salallahu'alayhi wassalam).”

Wallahu'alam

ITS THE LOVING SEASON

Telah diriwayatkan daripada Siti Aishah bahawa ia telah berkata : "Sedang aku
menjahit baju pada waktu sahur (sebelum subuh) maka jatuhlah jarum daripada
tanganku, tiba-tiba kebetulan lampu pun padam, lalu masuklah Rasulullah s.a..w. Ketika itu juga aku dapat mengutip jarum itu kerana cahaya wajahnya, lalu aku berkata,

"Hai Rasulullah alangkah bercahayanya wajahmu !"
Seterusnya aku bertanya: "Siapakah yang tidak akan melihatmu pada hari kiamat ?"
Jawab Rasulullah : "Orang yang bakhil."
Aku bertanya lagi : "Siapakah orang yang bakhil itu?"
Jawab baginda : "Orang yang ketika disebut namaku di depannya, dia tidak mengucap selawat ke atasku."

BERDOA:

Berkata Al-Barra' r.a . bahawa Nabi s.a.w. bersabda: "Segala doa itu terdinding (terhalang untuk dikabulkan) daripada langit sehingga orang yang berdoa itu mengucapkan selawat untuk Muhammad dan keluarga Muhammad."

KIJANG DAN ANAKNYA :

Diriwayatkan oleh Abu Na'im di dalam kitab 'Al-Hilyah' bahawa seorang lelaki lalu di sisi Nabi s.a.w. dengan membawa seekor kijang yang ditangkapnya,lalu Allah Taala (Yang berkuasa menjadikan semua benda-benda bercakap) telah menjadikan kijang itu bercakap kepada Nabi s.a.w. :

"Hai Pesuruh Allah, sesungguhnya aku ada mempunyai beberapa ekor anak yang
masih menyusu, dan sekarang aku sudah ditangkap sedangkan mereka sedang kelaparan, oleh itu haraplah perintahkan orang ini melepaskan aku supaya aku dapat menyusukan anak-anakku itu dan sesudah itu aku akan balik ke mari."

Bersabda Rasulullah s.a.w. " Bagaimana kalau engkau tak balik ke mari semula ?"
Jawab kijang itu: "Kalau aku tidak balik ke mari, nanti Allah Taala akan melaknatku sebagaimana Ia
melaknatkan orang yang tidak mengucapkan selawat bagi engkau apabila disebut nama engkau disisinya."

Lalu Nabi s.a.w. pun bersabda kepada orang itu : "Lepaskan kijang itu buat sementara waktu dan aku jadi penjaminnya. "

Kijang itu pun dilepaskan dan kemudian ia kembali ke situ semula. Maka turunlah malaikat Jibril a.s. dan berkata :

Hai Muhammad, Allah Taala mengucapkan salam kepada engkau dan Ia (Allah) berfirman: "Demi KemuliaanKu dan KehormatanKu, sesungguhnya Aku lebih kasihkan umat Muhammad daripada kijang itu kasihkan anak-anaknya dan Aku akan kembalikan mereka kepada engkau sebagaimana kijang itu kembali kepada engkau." Alhamdulillah. marilah memperbanyakkan bersyukur dan berselawat kerana kita tergolong dalam umat Muhammad.

Panjangkan kisah ini kepada sahabat-sahabat dan sudara-mara. Semoga kita sama-sama berusaha dalam menghidupkan rasa kasih sayang terhadap Rasulullah SAW.
Hai orang-orang yangberiman, masuklah ke dalam Islam secara keseluruhannya, dan janganlah kamu turut langkah-langkah syaitan, sesungguhnya syaitan itu musuh yang nyata bagimu. (surah Al-Baqarah ayat : 208)

I treasure what have been presented to me.

Demi 12 Rabiul Awal Yang Indah

Menyahut seruan di ambang senja

Ku bersyukur kepada penghulu sekalian Anbiya'

Menyebar dan membesarkan Agama

Pimpinan dan ajaran di amanahkan dalam katamu

Namun hatimu tetap kepada yang satu

Demi 12 Rabiul Awal Yang Indah

terpadam api di biara Majusi

Runtuhlah Istana Kisra Parsi

Mekkah di terangi cahaya putih

Tanda nabi lahir anak yatim

Demi 12 Rabiul Awal Yang Indah

Demi 12 Rabiul Awal Yang Indah

Demi 12 Rabiul Awal Yang Indah

Ku merasakan kehadiranmu di sambutan kelahiranmu.

Believe it or not

The most bastard type of god's creations are those who makes mistakes and don't admit it but rather cover it up or pushes the blame to someone else.

I'm sorry to be very crude, but i simply can't find a better word to describe those people.

Sifat-sifat wanita ahli syurga

Siapakah wanita yang menjadi ahli Syurga? Apakah ciri-ciri atau sifat-sifat yang menjadi kunci bagi wanita memasuki syurga?

Sebuah hadis Nabi menyatakan: Daripada Anas, Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam bersabda yang bermaksud: "Apabila seorang perempuan mendirikan sembahyang lima waktu, berpuasa sebulan (Ramadhan), menjaga kehormatan dan taat kepada suami, dia akan disuruh memasuki syurga melalui mana-mana pintu yang dia sukai." (Hadis Riwayat Ahmad)

Menurut hadis di atas sekurang-kurangnya ia telah menggariskan empat dasar atau sifat utama yang menjadi teras bagi seorang wanita muslimah memasuki syurga, iaitu menunaikan kewajipannya kepada Allah dalam makna melaksanakan ibadah-ibadah yang diwajibkan ke atasnya seperti sembahyang, puasa, dan lain-lain ibadah wajib yang mampu dilaksanakan.
Sebuah hadis menyebutkan bahawa sembahyang adalah perkara pertama yang akan disoal di hari Kiamat.

Daripada Abu Hurairah Radhiallahu Anhu, Nabi Sallallahu Alahi Wasallam bersabda: "Sesungguhnya perkara yang pertama sekali dikira dari amalan hamba di hari kiamat ialah sembahyang; sekiranya sembahyang itu sempurna, maka beruntung dan berjayalah dia, dan sekiranya ia rosak, maka kecewa dan rugilah dia, kalau kewajipan fardhu masih kurang, Allah berfirman: Lihatlah adakah amalan-amalan sunat untuk menyempurnakan kekurangan tersebut. Demikianlah seterusnya dengan amalan yang lain" (Hadis riwayat at-Tirmizi)
Disamping menunaikan kewajipan kepada Allah, menunaikan hak dan kewajipan kepada suami juga merupakan hal yang tidak boleh diabaikan oleh seorang wanita.

Tertunainya hak dan tanggungjawab suami barulah akan turun keredhaan dan rahmat Allah kepadanya. Menjaga kehormatan diri juga merupakan hal yang digariskan oleh hadis di atas. Antara hal-hal yang boleh diketegorikan dalam konteks menjaga kehormatan itu ialah mempunyai sifat pemalu, jika suaminya keluar dia akan menguruskan dan menjaga dirinya dan harta suaminya dengan amanah. Bila suaminya datang kepadanya dia akan menjaga mulut daripada menyebutkan perkataan yang tidak elok didengar.

Sebuah hadis Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam menyatakan bahawa: "Sesungguhnya sopan santun dan keimanan adalah saling berkaitan, jika salah satunya dikeluarkan, yang satu lagi juga akan hilang serentak." (Hadis Riwayat Baihaqi)

Maksud hadis ini ialah jika kesopanan atau sifat malu sudah hilang, iman juga akan hilang bersama-samanya. Betapa besarnya pengaruh antara kesopanan dan keimanan kepada diri seorang wanita itu, Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam menegaskan dengan sabda baginda: "Apabila sesesorang itu terlibat dengan penzinaan, ia bukan lagi seorang beriman, apabila seseorang itu mencuri ia bukan lagi seorang beriman, apabila seseorang itu meminum arak ia bukan lagi seorang beriman, apabila seseorang itu menyelewing setelah diberi amanah oleh orang lain ia bukan lagi seorang beriman, dan apabila seseorang diantara kamu menipu ia bukan lagi seorang beriman, oleh itu berjaga-jagalah!"

Taat kepada suami merupakan satu lagi sifat wanita yang digambarkan oleh hadis yang dipaparkan di awal makalah ini. Taat kepada suami adalah tanggungjawab isteri yang wajib di sempurnakan. Sebuah hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh al-Imam Bazzar Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam bersabda: "Kamu sampaikan kepada perempuan yang kamu jumpa, bahawa taat kepada suami, dan mengakui hak-hak suami, sama pahalanya dengan berperang dan bertempur dengan musuh-musuh Islam di medan pertempuran, tetapi sedikit sangat daripada isteri-isteri yang menyempurnakan hak-hak suami mereka." (Hadis riwayat Al Imam Bazzar)
Isteri adalah pusat dan sumber kebahagiaan dan ketenteraman di dalam sebuah rumahtangga. Ia perlu mempunyai sifat-sifat sabar dan perhatian yang sepenuhnya kepada suami dan juga anak-anak.

Sikap inilah yang boleh mewujudkan suasana yang tenang, aman dan damai dalam rumahtangga. Dalam hal ini, para isteri sayugialah akan sentiasa bersikap baik kepada suami.
Saidina Abu Bakar Radhiallahu Anhu meriwayatkan bahawa Rasullullah Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam pernah bersabda: "Seorang wanita yang menyakiti hati suami dengan lidahnya, dia mendatangkan celaan dan kemurkaan Allah, para malaikat dan umat manusia."
Selain itu, Saidina Ali Radhiallahu Anhu meriwayatkan sebuah hadis mengenai setiap isteri yang tidak menghormati status suaminya. "Wanita yang berkata kepada suaminya yang tidak melihat apa-apa kebaikan pada suaminya, Allah menghapuskan segala perbuatan baiknya selama 70 tahun, walaupun dia berpuasa selama itu siang hari dan bersembahyang pada malamnya." (Hadis Riwayat Imam Majah dan An-Nasai)

Berdasarkan huraian ringkas di atas, para wanita semestinyalah mengamalkan sikap taat dan bertakwa kepada Allah, bertanggungjawab kepada suami dan menjaga kehormatan dirinya. Semoga dengan itu, akan mudahlah mereka mendapat rahmat dan keredhaan Allah. Rahmat dan redha Allah itulah yang akan menjamin kebahagian hidupnya di dunia dan di akhirat.

PEMIMPIN PALING AJAIB DI ZAMANNYA

Ketika kuhanyut semakin jauh

Semakin kugapai semakin tenggelam

Ketika tujuan hidup semakin kabur

Terasaku mati sebelum kematian

Apalah artinya hidup tanpa pimpinan

Tiada cahaya, tiada panduan

Tanpa cinta dan kasih sayang-Mu oh Tuhan

Segala yang kumiliki, tiada berharga

Takkan kugapai cinta-Mu tanpa pimpinan

Kuterus mencari jalan kebenaran

Namun yang kutemui tak dapat obati

Kerinduanku pada pemimpin kebenaran

Biarlah kuharungi 7 samudera

Kebarat ketimur kemana saja

Bahkan kurela merangkak di atas salju

Asalkan kudapat keajaiban

Tuhan manakah pemimpin yang telah Engkau janjikan

Yang menjadi bayangan Rasulullah di akhir zaman

Kuperlu keajaiban, tak mungkin cara biasa

Tak cukup dengan logika

Tuhan…kutagih janji-Mu…

Walau payah kumenunggu

Pemimpin ajaib, 100 tahun kau tetap kutunggu

Rupanya kini Tuhan telah tunaikan

Janji-Mu kepada umat di akhir zaman

Penyelamat itu telah Engkau hadirkan

Pemimpin paling ajaib di zamannya

Takkan kulepas,

kan

terus kugenggam

Walau badai topan datang menerjang,

1001 ujian datang menghalang

Diriku

kan

setia bersamanya

Pemimpin ajaib, Fahruddin Ar Razi

Kukan setia…

945 Saat indah tidak akan dilupakan

4 tahun selepas menghilangkan diri, tuhan ketemukan kita kembali

Tenang,tenang di samping kekasih.

Di saat itu ku ingin

bersemuka
bertanya
berinteraksi

tetapi,keadaan tidak berubah

kamu masih di samping kekasih

dan ku berdiam diri seperti biasa

walaupun tulus dan suci tujuanku

malangnya,tidak dengan keinginanku

Moga diberkati tuhan.

Wanita humairah,moga kau bahagia

disebelah kaca tingkap bus,meniliti hidup.

Salam Everyone

Its already the month of Safar. Some sirah(history) that happen during this month are when the Prophet Muhammad S.A.W got married to Khadijah binti Khuwailid r.a before he was chose to be the prophet. Another one of those famous sirah is the decease of Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi, 27 Safar 589 after hijrah. He is best known for uniting and also leading muslim armies and crusades and recapturing Jerussalem.

InsyaAllah, the month of Rabiul Awal is fast approaching so guys lets gear up. Lets start by reciting selawat daily. :)

Selawat TAFRIJIYAH atau dipanggil Selawat NARIYAH

1. Menurut Imam Ad-Dainuri, barangsiapa membaca selawat ini 11 KALI setiap hari setiap lepas sembahyang lima waktu, REZEKInya tidak putus-putus dan mendapat kedudukan yang tinggi.

2. Menurut Imam Al-Qurtubi, barangsiapa membaca selawat ini 41 KALI atau 100 KALI, ALLAH akan menghilangkan segala dukacita dan dimudahkan segala urusan kehidupan.

3. Barangsiapa membaca selawat ini 313 KALI setiap hari, nescaya akan terbuka beberapa rahsia ghaib.

4. Barangsiapa membaca selawat ini 4444 KALI akan tercapai segala cita-cita dan hajat dunia dan akhirat.

This is one of my personal fav, not because its short but because the content of this selawat.Its a solawat that cures the heart from all kind of illness.It also sooths the relationship between a couple.Try it ;)

selawat shifa

The one from the recording is slightly different from the writings above for the selawat shifa. The is a slight change in the meaning but non the less its still acceptable.

Lastly,

Im starting to miss Syeikh Muhammad Nuruddin Marbu al-Banjari al-Makki, a teacher whom i truly believe in and respect. He will be in Singapore again in March,so those of you who are interested keep a look out.I will update about his classes here.

Sayyidul-Istighfar

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلا أَنْتَ

O Allah! You are my Lord! None has the right to be worshipped but You. You created me and I am Your slave, and I am faithful to my covenant and my promise as much as I can. I seek refuge with You from all the evil I have done. I acknowledge before You all the blessings You have bestowed upon me, and I confess to You all my sins. So I entreat You to forgive my sins, for nobody can forgive sins except You.

I've been giving myself some time to think about matters concerning life, people around me and the way god have created humans as to serve him. For barely 20 years, I have been slacking and god has persevere enough till a point of probably no return. Making sins each day seems like a normal routine to everyone of us. Restricting our wants and needs are getting more complex.

Allah Ya Karim, help me overcome this feeling of discomfort.
Allah Ya Latif, sooth the temperamental erratic behavior of myself.
Allah Ya Rahman, obliged me to meet your beloved.
Allah Ya Rahim, congregate the chosen one where your holy land is placed again.

Deep down, there is still an empty slot in my heart.You know better than anyone else. Bestow me with a wish,your almighty.

ANAK LELAKI IBU

Usai salam ke kanan dan kiri
Setelah wirid dan istighfar
Tangan dhaif ini aku tadahkan
Mendoakan kebahagiaanmu

Di akhiran doa
Dalam rintih yang tertahan
Ku titipkan jua doa untuk saudara-saudara kita di sana

Anak lelaki ibu…..
Sedari kecil,
Engkaulah permata hati, mutiara kasih ibu,
Tidurmu kubelai dengan sayang,
Jagamu kubelai dengan manja,

Sedang, Ibu-ibu di bumi jihad itu,
Hanya rintih pilu yang kedengaran,
Menatap tubuh kaku si anak,
Yang perginya tanpa rela dan dosa,
Menjadi korban petualang agama.

Anak lelaki ibu…..
Tika dirimu menginjak remaja,
Engkau tenggelam di lautan ilmu,
Cita-citamu tinggi,
Usahamu tidak pernah jemu,

Biarpun payah,
Meski keringat dari tubuh ini kering,
Dan tenaga ini tidak bersisa lagi,
Namun harganya tidak terbanding dengan harapanku,
Untuk melihat kau megah di puncak itu.

Namun, Di bumi Isra’ dan Mikraj itu,
Anak-anak mudanya,
Cita-cita dan usaha mereka barangkali engkau tidak terfikirkan,
Tahukah engkau hai anak,
Cita-cita unggul mereka adalah syahid,
Usaha mereka tanpa jemu adalah jihad ke jalan Allah.

Anak lelaki ibu….
Dengan tangan ini,
Telahku didik engkau hingga menjadi seorang insani,
Pergilah perwira hati ibu,
Bantulah saudara-saudara kita di sana,
Perangilah semua soldadu-soldadu laknat itu,
Biarlah jiwa Sallahuddin bersatu di hatimu,
Agar nanti bumi suci itu tidak bertukar tuan.

Anak lelaki ibu…
Jangan gentar anakku,
Doaku akan sentiasa mengiringimu,
Walau nanti…
Tiada lagi desah nafas dari jasadmu,
Takkan kubiarkan walau setitik,
Airmata sedih mengalir dari mata ini,

Kerana yang dunia akan saksikan nanti,
Hanyalah airmata seorang ibu,
Yang syukur pada Tuhannya,
Kerana amanah anugerahNya,
Hidupnya sebagai mujahid,
Dan perginya sebagai syuhada.

The cessation of fighting in Gaza has allowed the true scale of destruction there to be revealed.

Sherine Tadros reports from the north of the strip on the despair of one father who says Israeli forces shot and killed two of his daughters at close range.

A spokesperson for the Israeli army told Al Jazeera in response to the father's allegations that Israeli soldiers "do not behave in this fashion" and the army "only returns fire to areas from which it was fired upon".

Palestinians returning to their neighbourhoods have begun to unearth the true scale of destruction left by Israel's 22-day offensive on the Gaza Strip.

But as Gazans surveyed the damage and awaited help, shaky ceasefires declared separately by Israel and Palestinian fighters continued to hold on Tuesday.

Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general, is also set to survey the destruction in a trip to Gaza during the day.

Estimates for the rebuilding of Gaza's devastated infrastructure have been put at billions of dollars.

Unearthing Gaza's destruction

Israel's scorched earth tactics

John Holmes, the UN humanitarian chief, says hundreds of millions of dollars in emergency aid supplies will be needed for the people of Gaza.

Although 100,000 people had running water restored in their homes as of Sunday, 400,000 were still without it, Holmes said.

Electricity in Gaza is available for less than half the day and about 100,000 people have been displaced by the war.

Despite the three-week Israeli onslaught that killed more than 1,300 Palestinians and destroyed thousands of buildings, Hamas and other Palestinian factions claimed victory in the fighting.

Israel had said the aim of its operations in Gaza was to cripple Hamas's ability to launch rockets into the south of the country.

But a masked man calling himself Abu Obeida and claiming to be a spokesman for Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, Hamas's armed wing, said the group's rocket-launching capacity had not been diminished, and threatened to renew fighting if Israeli forces did not withdraw.

"They [Israel] say they weakened Hamas. We assure you that what we have lost in this war is nothing compared to what we [still] have," he said in a televised news conference on Monday.

Abu Obeida vowed that Hamas would replenish its arsenal of rockets and other weapons, in defiance of any Israeli or international efforts to cut off smuggling routes.

"Do whatever you want, bringing in and manufacturing the holy weapons is our mission, and we know how to acquire weapons," he said.

Disease fears

GAZA TOLL

At least 1,300 people killed, including more than 400 children and more than 100 women

At least 5,300 Palestinians injured, including nearly 1,900 children and 800 women

At least 100,000 people forced from their homes

At least 13 Israelis killed, including three civilians

Meanwhile, scores of bodies have been discovered in the rubble of destroyed buildings since the fighting was halted.

Abed Sharafi, an ambulance driver, said on Monday that he had helped pull out the bodies of 15 children and women from under their house.

"They were so badly decomposed that we couldn't distinguish boys from girls. Some had been there for 15 days," he said.

Al Jazeera's Ayman Mohyeldin, reporting from Gaza City, said the World Health Organisation was warning of an outbreak of disease with bodies now several weeks old and sewage flowing over many areas because of the destruction to infrastructure.

The deposed Hamas-led government in Gaza estimates that more than 5,000 buildings were completely destroyed and 20,000 damaged or partially destroyed in the fighting.

King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia pledged on Monday to donate one billion dollars towards the reconstruction of the Palestinian coastal territory, which has faced deadly attacks by Israeli forces since December 27.

Ahlan wa sahlan to the maal hijrah. A new year for Islam. I've set some goals myself this year, although it would be tough I will try my best to archieve it. A dear friend of mine compiled some of tawakkal's previous performance pictures and made it into a video with our song of zikir munajat.Take a look.

Alhamdullilah, All praise be to Allah. Just same back from my first Arabic lesson conducted by Ustaz Yazid Salleh. After tonight, I truly believe that everything happens for a reason. The whole of Administration department was schedule to watch "Bee Movie" for a motivation session. Its for our own benefits as we can be motivated by the story line of the movie and implement it to our fighting spirits for our last semester. So upon reaching the lecture theatre, we were told that they would be presenting to us a new movie instead of "Bee Movie". The tittle of that movie is "Horton Hear A Who". Watch it, had fun commenting on the movie. Making silly comments about the "boob joke". A recommendable movie to boost your inspiration.

So getting back to my first day of arabic lesson, I had to catch up the missed lesson and be on the same level as the rest at unit 7. We were having a conversation role play, and we came across the word 'nada'. Nada can be a name of someone or in translating the meaning of the word directly, its dew. So some of my friends were talking about qasidah where there is this sentence of 'nuju min nada' in the qasidah.

Listen to this, the qasidah i'm talking about. Pay attention to the 'nuju min nada' part.

Track 5 - Syamil

So my Ustaz says 'nuju min nada' means the dew at the furthest point of the star. He gave us an exmaple of the movie "Horton Hear A Who". He asked anyone ever watch this movie, and I was glad to say I just did in school today. The beginning scene of the movie starts from a dew sliding down a leave to its edge. You would have a clearer view of the dew at the edge of the leave in the movie itself.

Then Ustaz define the term of 'nuju min nada', its a very poetic way to describe the dew on the edge of the leaves as it edge looks similar as the edge of a star. MasyaAllah. The beauty of learning arabic. =)

He then told me about the story line of that movie and recognise the movie as part of Rasullulah's life and also some of his foe such as Abu Jahal. This hit me hard and kept me thinking about the movie again. Its kinda true. So I believe everything is planned, and happens for a reason.

Thats all for this session of rant. Ma'Salama!

Assalmu'alaikum to all readers.

Alhamdullilah, thanks to Allah for the blessings in life. Firstly, I just came back from learning Al-quran with ustaz Azmi, the one thing that really interest me in this class is the way my ustaz present the lesson. His explanations are extremly clear, and he goes back to the basics for referral purpose.

So we were revising about the Surah Al-Fateha.Verse by verse and he teach us a new method of memorising the surah and understanding its benefits ans meaning.The formula was "PSP D". Its in malay, the first P stands for Pujian ( Praise), S for Syukur (thankful),next P is Peringatan (reminder), and the D Doa (supplication).

So here is how its arrange:

بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (١
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful (1)

The Pujian (Praise)
ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ (٢
Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the Worlds (2)

The Syukur (Thankful)
ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (٣
Most Gracious, Most Merciful (3)

The Peringatan (Reminder)
مَـٰلِكِ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ(٤
Master of the, Day of Judgment. (4)

From here onwards is the Doa (Supplications)
إِيَّاكَ نَعۡبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسۡتَعِينُ (٥
Thee do we worship, and Thine aid we seek. (5)
ٱهۡدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٲطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ(٦
Show us the straight way. (6)
صِرَٲطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ غَيۡرِ ٱلۡمَغۡضُوبِ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ (٧
The way of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy Grace, Those whose (portion) is not wrath and who go not astray. (7)

So while teaching this funky teacher fo mine was telling us that the part for Peringatan (Reminder) that god is there to observe all our acts. and he was saying "god knows what you did last summer". and everyone crack down laughing.

Hope you guys learn something to from todays lesson. I really excited for tommorrows first day for my Arabic lesson.Till then. remember god knows what you did last summer..hehehe!

Its been a while since I express myself here. There have been days where I felt like blogging but my fingers would not let me type those sentences. Lately I've been hearing issues like couple getting divorce, people having all kinds of illnesses these days. It truly shows how god words are acting up on his promises.

Many young couple and even older ones are having a tacit relationship. In life, we are bound with all kinds of commitments but its the way we sort things out and plan a healthy schedule is how we are able improve and build a stronger relationship. For myself, I have set some barriers in front of my journey in life. I need to pass those challenges and complete the task assign and only then I will find someone to complete me as a role of a loving wife. Some couple jump to conclusion to easily, they tend to surmise their partners faiths towards each other. This is where the word TRUST is the hardest word to spell. There can be no special formulas to solve the differences between spouses, due to personal habits and family backgrounds, and the possible solution is to actually tolerate and understanding. and not remember " The most hateful permissible thing in the sight of Allah is Divorce."

This is too all the loving couple, I'm not trying to be a love doctor or anything but just some words of advice before setting up a family and ending up in a divorce,Its best to have interest and understanding one another.Islam is a tranquil religion. Make your religion as smooth sailing as Islam.

Apart from all this issues, I do have a life too. School has been challenging lately, the project works are already on its way. Will be visiting CMPB more often for the medical check ups. I can't wait to be enlisted at the same time. =)

Till then.Ma'salama!

EIDULADHA PROJECT : QURBAN FOR THE PALESTINIAN REFUGEES

Dear brothers and sisters in Islam,

Salam everyone, here is something I came across from Ustadz Masdiuky's Facebook. If anyone of you do have extra savings or wish to do you Korban and Aqqiqah for Dec 08 Aidul Adha, Please do so. May Allah Reward you with the Jannah!

Assalamu'alaikum wr wb. Imagine....how much joy and happiness you will give to our Palestinian brothers, sisters and children at Eiduladha this year, insya-Allah! I am sure you will be happy to make them smile too Then, why not you join me perform the annual qurban ritual at the refugee camp in Lebanon? Allah SWT will double our rewards. There is no deed that is more excellent than those on the 10 days of Zulhijjah! Every strand of the sheep's fur is a reward when we perform the qurban! This project is jointly organised anually by AMAN-PALESTINE BERHAD, a non-profit organisation registered under Companies Commision of Malaysia (Reg No : 719871-K) as a NGO to help and give humanitarian support to the Palestinian people especially the orphans and refugees. A lot of effort has been done by AMAN-PALESTINE BERHAD the past years since it was formed in 2004, such as setting up a wakaf clinic and an orphanage for the refugees, financial support for Palestinians students and very low-income families, agricultural projects at Nablus, medical and ambulance assistance and providing food for the unfortunante Palestinians refugees. Recently, their Ramadhan-Sponsor a Meal was a remarkable success, alhamdulillah! And, AMAN-PALESTINE BERHAD is recognise by the Malaysian Government. So, you do not need to be worry, its legal. If you are a loyal listener of RADIO IKIM, then you may have heard some of their advertisements or interviews.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

COST OF EACH QURBAN. Due to the high food cost at Palestine and Lebanon, each sheep or 1/7 of cattle is $350 Singapore dollars. Yes I do agree that the price is much higher than performing qurban in Singapore or Indonesia or China or Cambodia but if you feel $350 is expensive, think and just reflect the poverty and hardship that our Palestinian brothers, sisters and children face daily while we spent more than $350 for clothes, handphones etc, etc, etc.... The $350 Singapore dollars that you contribute are inclusive of performing the ritual at the refugees' camp (not in Malaysia), admin & bank charges plus a small infaq for Tradisi Halaqah Islamic Traditional Knowledge Programs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

FOR EVERY PARTICIPATION IN THIS BLESSED PROJECT, A TOKEN FOR YOU. Upon your worthy effort to bring happiness and contentment (satisfaction) to our Palestinian brothers, sisters and children, you will receive a receipt and certificate from AMAN-PALESTINE BERHAD ( A photo too, I will try to ask for them, insya-Allah). ----------------------------------------------------------------------

HOW CAN YOU TAKE PART IN THIS BLESSED HUMANITARIAN PROJECT? Please do not hesistate to contact me through my personal email, masduq.mi@gmail.com There will be a qurban form for you to fill in your particulars.

BEFOR YOU LEAVE, HAVE A PEEK AT THIS VIDEO.

My take on this whole event, Its definitely something special. It is hard being a Palestine and living with the Israelis. When I at Jerusalem,Palestine last June, it totally caught me of guard. I was shock and at one point of time traumatized by the sounds of gun shots and bombing that was happening at the Gaza Strips late into the night.Although we are hundreds of miles away from the Gaza Strip,it was like something you could only see and hear in the movies but its happening on a routine daily basis right infront of you. Imagine us living in a lovely and comfortable house would have to give up everything and live our life is a state of terror and shock, counting to the next series of attacks, thanking god daily for allowing you to live for the day. Or Imagine, watching your beloved family members perish right in front of your very eyes.

These kids of Palestine's are talented people, uttermost adorable looking kids, living life daily with the support of people funding them. Be a sweetheart and donate and support this cause.

May Allah Reward You With Jannah! Amin.

Kisah cinta
tidak melalaikan umpama Laila dan Majnun
tidak berahi bagai Rumi dan Juli
Bukan pula angkara Dewa Arjuna
yang memanah berdarah mata hati.

Kisah cinta
di antara dua jiwa yang berbeza
tetapi tetap searah tujuan
seagama, sehaluan

Kisah cinta
irama dialun, gurindam dilagukan
syair tanpa suara
dibelai dawai gitar
mengikuti susunan yang diilham
terus dari naluri
semangat insani
sari kasih sebuah kisah cinta

Kisah cinta
tidak sehebat epik Mahabarat
nafsulah penjahat
waktu kita tersendat
tidak berbekal seni silat
hanya akal dan hati menjadi penyelamat

Kisah cinta
lahir dari ketawa dan tangis
pemergian dan kehilangan
rahmat yang terselindung di balik gemawan hitam pekat
yang akan datang
biarlah yang lebih indah
walau engkau tidak setaat Siti Khadijah
walau aku tidak sehebat Rasulullah
Kerana engkau dan aku tetap milik kita berdua.

Honesty-Billy Joel

If you search for tenderness it isn't hard to find.

You can have the love you need to live.

But if you look for truthfulness

You might just as well be blind.

It always seems to be so hard to give.

Honesty is such a lonely word.

Everyone is so untrue.

Honesty is hardly ever heard.

And mostly what I need from you.

I can always find someone to say they sympathize.

If I wear my heart out on my sleeve.

But I don't want some pretty face to tell me pretty lies.

All I want is someone to believe.

Honesty is such a lonely word.

Everyone is so untrue.

Honesty is hardly ever heard.

And mostly what I need from you.

I can find a lover.

I can find a friend.

I can have security until the bitter end.

Anyone can comfort me with promises again.

I know, I know.

When I'm deep inside of me don't be too concerned.

I won't as for nothin' while I'm gone.

But when I want sincerity tell me where else can I turn.

Because you're the one I depend upon.

Honesty is such a lonely word.

Everyone is so untrue.

Honesty is hardly ever heard.

And mostly what I need from you.

"Rimbun dan redup kasihMu

Kau tempat ku berpayung

Di manakah lagi dapat ku rebahkan

Rasa gundah ini

Nun Kau teguh di sana

Pengasih dan penyayang

Pun ku masih terleka

Meneguk ihsanMu

Walau ku sedari

Oh… nyamannya

Bila diperlukan rinduMu

Mengimbaulah sentosa

Bentangkan ku permaidani

Dari baldu berwarna putih

Moga tak ku terasakan

Cubaan yang ku galas ini

Kepada Mu titianku

Hijrahkanlah diri ini"

Salam, I came across this on the net,although its not my writings but I totally attached to it.

To All Muslimah, this is for you ladies

Seorang gadis itu
Yang lembut fitrah tercipta
Halus kulit, manis tuturnya
Lentur hati…telus wajahnya
Setelus rasa membisik di jiwa
Di matanya cahaya, didalamnya ada air
Sehangat cinta, sejernih suka, sedalam duka
Ceritera hidupnya

Seorang gadis itu…
Bisa seteguh Khadijah, yang suci hatinya
Tabah & tenang sikapnya, teman Ar-Rasul
Pengubat duka dan laranya…bijaksana ia

Menyimpan ilmu, si teman bicara
Dialah Aisyah, penyeri taman Rasulullah

Dialah Hafsah, penyimpan mashaf pertama kalamullah…

Seorang gadis itu…
Bisa setabah Maryam
Meski dicaci meski dikeji
Itu hanya cerca manusia
Namun sucinya Allah memuji

Seperti Fatimah kudusnya
Meniti hidup seadanya
Puteri Rasulullah…kesayangan ayahanda
Suaminya si panglima agama
Di belakangnya dialah pelita
Cahaya penerang segenap rumahnya
Ummi tersayang cucunda Baginda…bisa dia segagah Nailah
Dengan dua tangan tegar melindung khalifah
Meski akhirnya bermandi darah
Meski akhirnya khalifah rebah
Syahid menyahut panggilan Allah…

Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!

Would like to wish all the people of Islam Eid Mubarak!

Alhamdulillah kita sudah tamat menjalani ibadah puasa sepanjang Ramadhan ini. Sama-samalah kita mengharapkan mudah-mudahan Allah menerima amalan puasa kita. Di samping itu juga diharapkan agar latihan ibadat yang kita lakukan sepanjang Ramadhan seperti puasa, solat sunat, sedekah, bacaan Quran dapat diteruskan dalam bulan-bulan lain sehinggalah kita bertemu Ramadhan 1430. akan datang.

Setiap amalan ada kesan dan hasilnya. Ibadat puasa Ramadhan ini mampu menjadikan kita orang yang bertakwa. Inilah intipati dari Ramadhan. Kelazatan puasa memuncak ketika berakhirnya Ramadhan. Kita inginkan keberkahan Ramadhan ini berpanjangan hingga setahun, tapi apakan daya ia datang hanya sebulan saja.

Sungguhpun begitu, kita masih berpeluang meneruskan puasa selepas 1 Syawal. Adalah menjadi amalan sunat mengerjakan puasa 6 hari dalam bulan Syawal. Ia boleh dilakukan mulai 2 Syawal hingga 7 Syawal secara berterusan atau mana-mana 6 hari dalam bulan tersebut. Nabi Muhammad saw. bersabda "Barangsiapa berpuasa Ramadhan kemudian diikuti dengan puasa 6 hari dalam bulan Syawal, maka orang itu seolah-olah berpuasa setahun penuh."

Sebagaimana yang diketahui semua amalan sunat adalah sebagai penampal mana-mana kekurangan dalam amalan fardhu. Sayugialah kita mengambil peluang ini untuk berpuasa 6 di bulan Syawal. Selain mendapat pahala puasa setahun, kita juga dapat memperbaiki kekurangan dalam ibadat puasa bulan Ramadhan.

Bagi kaum perempuan yang tidak dapat berpuasa penuh dalam bulan Ramadhan kerana kedatangan haid, puasa Sunat 6 hari dalam Syawal ini memberi peluang terbaik untuk mengqadha' di samping mendapatkan pahala berpuasa sunat. Kebiasaan mentaakhirkan qadha sehingga hampir Ramadhan akan datang adalah satu amalan yang tidak sepatutnya dilakukan. Amalan wajib jika ditinggalkan mestilah disegerakan sebagai menunjukkan sikap pengabdian diri kita terhadap Allah. Apakah makna dan tujuan kita melambatkan qadha' puasa wajib? Tidak lain menunjukkan seolah-olah kita keberatan untuk menunaikan kewajiban yang telah kita tinggalkan. Bukankah Allah tahu apa yang tersirat di hati kita?

Natijah dari amalan puasa ialah taqwa dan kasih akan Allah. Tanda kasih akan Allah ialah berkhidmat kepadaNya. Siapa mencintai Allah dia akan berbahagia di alam akhirat, sebaliknya siapa mencintai dunia dan isinya, ketahuilah dunia akan meninggalkan kita. Kelazatan dunia walaupun bagus tetapi ia tidak kekal. Ia berakhir sebaik saja kita menemui ajal. Sebaliknya kelazatan akhirat kekal abadi tanpa batasan waktu.

Di antara tanda kita mengasihi akan Allah ialah mulut sentiasa berzikir (mengingati / menyebut) Allah, hati tidak lalai mengingati sesuatu selain Allah. Setiap amalan yang dilakukan diperiksa terlebih dulu adakah untuk nafsu atau Allah. Mana yang dirasakan untuk Allah diteruskan. Apabila melihat sesuatu hati terus teringat kepada Allah yang menjadikannya. Selain itu, sentiasa mendampingi orang alim (ulama) kerana mereka ialah pewaris nabi. Kita sedar kita adalah bersama orang yang kita cintai di akhirat nanti. Jika hati menyintai nabi dan para ulama, insyallah kita bersama mereka di akhirat . Bagaimana pula agaknya kalau kecintaan beralih kepada para artis dan penyanyi? Nauzubillah...

Sebagai akhirnya, sama-samalah kita berdoa supaya kita dapat bertemu Ramadhan tahun depan dan seterusnya.

"Ya Allah, masukkanlah kami ke dalam golongan orang yang merindui Ramadhan kerana kami sedar di syurga terdapat sebuah pintu bernama Ar-Rayyan yang tidak boleh dimasuki oleh sesiapa kecuali orang yang berpuasa saja. Kami juga sedar Ya Allah bahawa puasa merupakan benteng terkuat dari azab neraka. Oleh itu jadikanlah kami orang yang rajin mengerjakan puasa wajib dan sunatnya. Kau peliharakanlah kami dari azab api neraka yang tidak mampu bagi kami untuk menanggungnya.." Amin.

Fitnah

Sebuah kisah tentang Siti 'Aishah, isterinya Muhammad SAW.

Pada suatu ketika,Siti 'Aishah tertinggal dari rombongan Nabi saw ketika kembali dari satu peperangan, di suatu tempat kerana mencari kalungnya yang hilang, kemudian datang Safwan bin Mu'atta menjemputnya menaiki untanya untuk ke madinah. Setelah sampai di Madinah,seorang munafik yang bernama Abdullah bin Ubay menuduh `Aishah berzina dengan Safwan.
Satu fitnah yang cukup memalukan, dan menggemparkan masyarakat Madinah pada waktu itu, peristiwa yang terkenal dengan "Hadisul ifki (kabar bohong)". Demikian hebat fitnah yang dilancarkan, dan demikian banyak gangguan yang menyakitkan hati yang ditujukan kepada Siti 'Aishah. Dikhabarkan, 'Aishah tidak dapat tidur dengan lena dan jatuh sakit selama sebulan hingga fitnah itu diselesai dengan turunnya firman Allah dalam surah Ali imran ayat 186.
Abdullah Bin Ubay tidak dihukum kerana pangkatnya di Madinah, tetapi beliau adalah antara sahabat yang munafiq.

Salam alai'kum semua

9 day of fasting pass by in a blink of an eye, yes. Syukur Alhamdullilah. There have been glitches here and there but manage to counter it. I've set myself what I will be doing in the future during this ramadan.

I've made my mind about this decision quite sometime back but only to settle on it permanently recently, when i met with an old friend on a bus journey back home.She's currently in NUS doing her degree in Sciences, the thing that really caught me was her age, same age but different qualification as compared.My mom looks perplex with the idea,while dad just "asal kau bahagia sudah Yazid". Well its true there's a saying in malay ''Kite merancang tetapi tuhan yang menentukan'', so I've decided to take a step to plan ahead this time. It seems in less than six months I'm completing my Higher Nitec in Business Admin.So here I go,

First Complete my National Service, by then my age would be 22

Next, I got two choice here, either to take Private Diploma in Business Management or go SHATEC. At the same time I'm taking up DPI (diploma in Islamic studies) as a private student too. By then 26.

If I'm still alive, will continue with my next phase of life that is to work for at least two years and perform my pilgrimage. I'm 28 then.

Last if I wish to pursue my business career another advance dip or a degree in marketing or Business and that will take another 4 years. So the total sum is 32.

Big issue with age here but InsyaAllah I'm willing to wait.

And marriage?

Would you be willing to wait

God knows better

Take a look at this vid. meningful content but the video clip is much of a drama. You decide!
The song just got me in a mood to write this morning.

Very emotional recitation

2008-09-04T00:28:00.006+08:00

Salam Everyone =)

Alhamdullilah, day 3 of sawm went well. Anyone interested to read Quran in a very different perspective like the scene and also the place? Nus Tasmiun is organising a Quran picnic for all muslim or even non-muslim who are interested to listen to the recitors.

Their first Jamming session.

Saturday,6 September 2008

NUS Tasmi-un & IslamicEvents.sg are launching Quran 'jamming' sessions throughout the month of Ramadhan and the week before it... all around Singapore.

These series of events called 'Tongues & Hearts' intends to re-live the spirit of reading the Quran anywhere, anytime, with your tongue and with your heart.

The 2nd event, Picnic With The Qur'an will be held in the nice outdoor seating area at Marina Square, overlooking the Esplanade

We'd like to invite everyone who wants to watch, listen, read, record, support to come and join us, and enjoy and reflect upon the Quran - the book which can move hearts, for those who can and even cant understand its meanings...

So yesterday night taraweeh prayers was done at Jelapang road. The was an invited Qori(A person who can recite the Quran professionally) from Egypt. His voice was mellifluous, masyaAllah. I just happen that when i was browsing thru youtube for some nice video, i came across this video by Qori Abdul Basit. The Qori yesterday recited the same surah and also the same way as how Qori Abdul Basit Recites. Enjoy!

Mantera Beradu ft. M. Nasir - Malique

Mantera Beradu-Malique feat. M Nasir

Masih belum sempurna...

Gerakkan Hati... Hati gerakkan...
Pandanglah aku... aku lah dia...

Kulitku tebal... ku kebal... ingatku kebal...
Hanya berbual makan angin kembung perut mual...
Resah dan tidak senang... hidup tak pernah lenang...
Ku schizo paranoia takut pecah tembelang

Pecah tembelang... peta dah hilang...
Bangau dah pulang... suara sumbang...

Lidahku kaku tak selicin kuku
Teman baikku buku
Bini ku pena... tak pernah lena
Aku suka mengintai pantang ditenung
Berakhir pertelingkahan dalaman
Pasti belum

Ikut gerak hati... pena melayang
Dilihat dua layang pandang
Tak lah segarang
Takat meradang
Tanya... abang gedang, apa barang?
Badan macam badang
Main acap belakang parang

Kuhunuskan keris musuh ada pistol
Tradisi kekalkan adaptasi harus betul
Tujuh baris keramat tujuh garis penamat
Baik berpada biar jahat asal selamat

Ramai saudaraku yang baik telah dipijak

Awan mendung yang berarak
Bawa tangis bawa resah
Rebah rindu yang terkumpul
Semua birat dan kalimah
Semua janji yang terikat
Lebur disisimu

Yo ijazah terbaik datangnya dari jalanan
Dari pengalaman bercakap dan bersalaman
Konflik motivasi cuba medatasi
Positif dan benci jadi inspirasi pagi

Peduli itu interpretasi basi pekakkan sebelah
Halang biar keduanya muka cantik
Soalan bodoh yang ditanya jadi melodinya
Lebih hina dari zina

Lu bikin dosa ku bikin prosa
Testosterone testarosa
Citacita sosa kl kl kosa nostra
Jalan berliku ku harung roller coaster
Gah sentosa tiada penyesalan
Luas pandangan jauh dah berjalan
Tak sempurna masih ada kejanggalan
Gagal merancang, merancang kegagalan

Awan mendung yang berarak
Bawa tangis bawa resah
Rebah rindu yang terkumpul
Semua birat dan kalimah
Semua janji yang terikat
Lebur disisimu

Kucing bawa tidur rimau bawa igau
Masuk tempat orang bawa otak bukan pisau

Naik bukit angkuh cakap ayah jangan risau
Turun bukit pucat dengar tiga miaww
Kucing bawa tidur rimau bawa igau
Masuk tempat orang bawa otak bukan pisau

Tolak pintu gua tiga kerat tenaga
Kosong tak dijaga sampai datang tiga naga
Ingat nak berlaga tapi tak kan boleh menang
Menang dengan otak tak mesti dengan pedang

Sebelum jadi bangkai ikan koi renang renang
Pura pura salah jawapan untuk naik berang
Panggil lima kawan atau biar pergi laju
Risaukan pekara remeh kita tak akan maju
Muka sama hijau hati siapa tahu
Merah dah menyala pasti mati siapa mahu
Gagap tiga kali bercakap benar saja
Bulan terang ramai yang keluar buat kerja

Panjat pokok buluh cari tukun air terjun
Naik sampai nampak dah terpegun turun
Tiga ular ikut lompat atau paut
Kalau lari mati jika jerut maut

Awan mendung yang berarak
Bawa tangis bawa resah
Rebah rindu yang terkumpul
Semua birat dan kalimah
Semua janji yang terikat
Lebur disisimu

Puisi hati mu... hati mu puisi
Palu hati ku palu hatiku

Kulit tak besalin walau saling ganti baju
Pandang sini pandang sini
Ku berbahasa baku kata kata nahu
Himpun jadi satu
Mantera beradu dengan irama dan lagu

Akhirnya sempurna...

On yeah,Ramadan is in 5 days time.Bring it on!!!

Ngaji tonight =)

Berhenti menjadi Gelas

Seorang guru sufi mendatangi seorang muridnya ketika wajahnya belakangan ini selalu tampak murung."Kenapa kau selalu murung, nak? Bukankah banyak hal yang indah di dunia ini? Ke mana perginya wajah bersyukurmu?" sang Guru bertanya.

"Guru, belakangan ini hidup saya penuh masalah. Sulit bagi saya untuk tersenyum. Masalah datang seperti tak ada habis-habisnya," jawab sang murid muda.

Sang Guru terkekeh. "Nak, ambil segelas air dan dua genggam garam. Bawalah ke mari. Biar kuperbaiki suasana hatimu itu."

Si murid pun beranjak pelan tanpa semangat. Ia laksanakan permintaan gurunya itu, lalu kembali lagi membawa gelas dan garam sebagaimana yang diminta.

"Coba ambil segenggam garam, dan masukkan ke segelas air itu," kataSang Guru. "Setelah itu coba kau minum airnya sedikit."

Si murid pun melakukannya. Wajahnya kini meringis karena meminum air masin.

"Bagaimana rasanya?" tanya Sang Guru.

"Masin, dan perutku jadi mual," jawab si murid dengan wajah yang masihmeringis.

Sang Guru terkekeh-kekeh melihat wajah muridnya yang meringis kemasinan.

"Sekarang kau ikut aku." Sang Guru membawa muridnya ke danau di dekat tempat mereka.

"Ambil garam yang tersisa, dan tebarkan ke danau."

Si murid menebarkan segenggam garam yang tersisa ke danau, tanpa bicara. Rasa asin di mulutnya belum hilang. Dia ingin meludahkan rasa asin dari mulutnya, tapi tak dilakukannya. Rasanya tak sopan meludah di hadapan mursyid, begitu pikirnya.

"Sekarang, coba kau minum air danau itu," kata Sang Guru sambil mencari batu yang cukup datar untuk didudukinya, tepat di pinggir danau. Si murid menangkupkan kedua tangannya, mengambil air danau, dan membawanya ke mulutnya lalu meneguknya. Ketika air danau yang dingin dan segar mengalir di tenggorokannya.

Sang Guru bertanya kepadanya, "Bagaimana rasanya?"

"Segar, segar sekali," kata si murid sambil mengelap bibirnya dengan belakang tangannya. Tentu saja, danau ini berasal dari aliran sumber air di atas sana. Dan airnya mengalir menjadi sungai kecil di bawah. Dan sudah pasti, air danau ini juga menghilangkan rasa asin yang tersisa di mulutnya.

"Terasakah rasa garam yang kau tebarkan tadi?"

"Tidak sama sekali," kata si murid sambil mengambil air danmeminumnya lagi. Sang Guru hanya tersenyum memperhatikannya,membiarkan muridnya itu meminum air danau sampai puas.

"Nak," kata Sang Guru setelah muridnya selesai minum. "Segala masalah dalam hidup itu seperti segenggam garam. Tidak kurang, tidak lebih. Hanya segenggam garam. Banyaknya masalah dan penderitaan yang harus kau alami sepanjang kehidupanmu itu sudah dikadar oleh Allah, sesuai untuk dirimu. Jumlahnya tetap, segitu-segitu saja, tidak berkurang dan tidak bertambah. Setiap manusia yang lahir ke dunia ini pun demikian. Tidak ada satu pun manusia, walaupun dia seorang Nabi, yang bebas daripada penderitaan dan masalah."

Si murid terdiam, mendengarkan.

"Tapi Nak, rasa `asin' dari penderitaan yang dialami itu sangat tergantung dari besarnya 'qalbu'(hati) yang menampungnya. Jadi Nak, supaya tidak merasa menderita, berhentilah jadi gelas. Jadikan qalbu dalam dadamu itu jadi sebesar danau."

Yesterdays event was a success. Alhamdullilah. 14 more days to Ramadhan..yays!

Nisfu Syaaban

Nisfu dlm bahasa arab bererti setengah. Nisfu Syaaban beerti setengah bulan Syaaban. Malam Nisfu Syaaban adalah malam lima-belas Syaaban iaitu siangnya empat-belas haribulan Syaaban.

Malam Nisfu Syaaban merupakan malam yang penuh berkat dan rahmat selepas malam Lailatul qadr. Saiyidatina Aisyah r.a. meriwayatkan bahawa Nabi saw tidak tidur pada malam itu sebagaimana yg tersebut dalam sebuah hadis yg diriwayatkan oleh Iman Al-Baihaqi r.a:

Rasulullah saw telah bangun pada malam (Nisfu Syaaban) dan bersembahyang dah sungguh lama sujudnya sehingga aku fikir beliau telah wafat. Apabila aku melihat demikian aku mencuit ibu jari kaki Baginda saw dan bergerak. Kemudian aku kembali dan aku dengar Baginda saw berkata dlm sujudnya, "Ya Allah aku pohonkan kemaafanMu daripada apa yg akan diturunkan dan aku pohonkan keredhaanMu daripada kemurkaanMu dan aku berlindung kpdMu daripadaMu. Aku tidak dpt menghitung pujian terhadapMu seperti kamu memuji diriMu sendiri."
Setelah Baginda saw selesai sembahyang, Baginda berkata kpd Saiyidatina Aisyah r.a. "Malam ini adalan malam Nisfu syaaban. Sesunguhnya Allah Azzawajjal telah dtg kpd hambanya pada malam Nisfu syaaban dan memberi keampunan kpd mereka yg beristighfar, memberi rahmat ke atas mereka yg memberi rahmat dan melambatkan rahmat dan keampunan terhadap org2 yg dengki."

Hari nisfu sya'aban adalah hari dimana buku catatan amalan kita selama setahun diangkat ke langit dan diganti dengan buku catatan yang baru. Catatan pertama yang akan dicatatkan dibuku yang baru akan bermula sebaik sahaja masuk waktu maghrib, (15 Sya'aban bermula pada 14 hb sya'aban sebaik sahaja masuk maghrib)

Berikut adalah antara amal ibadah di hari Nisfu Sya'aban:

1.Solat sunat nisfu sya'aban - terdapat dua cara mengerjakan solat sunat ini

Sembahyang 100 rakaat dengan memberi salaam selepas setiap 2 rakaat. Surah Al-Ikhlas dibaca sebanyak 11 kali setelah setiap rakaat setelah membaca surah al-Fatihah

Sembahyang 10 rakaat dengan memberi salaam selepas setiap 2 rakaat. Surah Al-Ikhlas dibaca sebanyak 100 kali setelah setiap rakaat setelah membaca surah al-Fatihah

2. Membaca Yasin 3x selepas solat Maghribnya

i) Yasin pertama : mohon dipanjangkan umur untuk beribadat kepada Allah

ii) Yasin kedua : mohon rezeki yang halal untuk beribadat kepada Allah

iii) Yasin ketiga : mohon ditetapkan iman dan Islam & mati di dalam iman

3. Berpuasa pada siangnya (mulai pagi esoknya-15 Syaaban)

The Biography of "Habib Noh bin Muhammad Al-Habshee (Singapore)"
IN ENGLISH

Habib Noh bin Muhammad Al-Habshee came from Kedah, Malaysia. Not much was known about his early life. He came from a family of 4 brothers: Habib Noh, Habib Ariffin and Habib Zain (both died in Penang) and the youngest Habib Salikin, who died in Daik, Indonesia.

From his marriage with Anchik Hamidah who came from Wellesley Province, Penang, they were blessed with only one daughter named Sharifah Badaniah. Sharifah Badaniah later married Syed Mohamad Bin Hassan Al-Shatri at Jelutong, Penang. The couple then gave Habib Noh his only grandchild, a girl named Sharifah Rugayah. She married Syed Alwi Bin Ali Aljunied and they had five children, two boys and three girls namely Syed Abdul Rahman, Syed Abdullah, Sharifah Muznah, Sharifah Zainah and Sharifah Zubaidah.

By most account, Habib Noh arrived in Singapore shortly after Sir Stamford Raffles landed on the island. He was in his thirties then.

Although he spent the rest of his life in Singapore, and died there, he travelled around, mostly to Johor Baru and other peninsular states of Malaysia, preaching Islam.

He was a very pious man. His nights were spent in praying till dawn. And he was a constant visitor of the graveyards, often praying for the souls of the dead. He always moved around with his closest friends except when he specifically requested to be alone.

He was well loved by people from all walks of life, especially children. He would often buy sweats and give money to children, the poor and destitute.

Thus it was without surprise people recounted many of his karamah.

He possessed the ability to literally disappear, and be seen at far away places. It was reported that he was ever seen praying in the Grand Mosque of Mecca in Saudi Arabia without actually making the journey there himself physically. Once he even told a departing haj pilgrim that they will meet in Mecca. When the person arrived there, it was Habib Noh himself who greeted him.

Habib Noh was also well known as a great healer, especially for children whom he loved very much. There was once when he healed a child with an injured leg, by simply putting his hands over the wound and reciting some prayers. Within moments, the child was able to run again as though nothing had happened to him. The father of the child was so happy; he donated shillings to Habib Noh, who in turn gave the money away to the needy.

Habib Noh would brave even the thunderstorm to tend to any sick child. He ever walked to Paya Lebar from his home at Telok Blangah under heavy rain to heal a child. When he arrived at the child's home, to the astonishment of the parents, Habib Noh was not drenched at all.

In another incident, Habib Noh was awakened by the continuos crying of his neighbour's child. When he went over, he found that the family was too poor to buy food for the hungry child. With tears in his eyes upon hearing the story, Habib Noh took a coconut kernel, poured some water in it and recited some prayers. By God's will, the water turned into milk for the child.

Habib Noh is also known for his powerful and accurate premonitions. He seemed to know if people were in need, sick or have intentions meant for him. Once there was an Indian Muslim man who traveled back to India to visit his family via sea. He made a sacred pact with God that if he were to return to Singapore safely, he would present Habib Noh with a gift. Upon returning, he was shocked when Habib Noh was already waiting for him at the shore.

Habib Noh called out to him,"I believe you have made a promise to give something to me." Surprised, the Indian Muslim man said, "Speak oh wise one what you wish for and I will gladly present it to you."

Habib Noh replied, "I would like to have rolls of yellow cloth to donate to the poor, the destitute and children."

Hugging Habib Noh, the Indian Muslim man cried, "By God, I will be most willing to present it to a man who is exalted in the eyes of God for his kindness towards mankind. Please give me three days to present them to you."

He did within the stipulated time.

After 78 years of life devoted to Islam, Habib Noh passed away peacefully on Friday, 27 July 1866 corresponding to 14 Rabiul Awal 1283. A few days before died, he gave many advise to his beloved friends. Amongst his treasured words were, "Don't be greedy for worldly materials nor have any ill-feelings towards anyone throughout your life."

Habib Noh breathed his last breath in Telok Blangah, at the residence of Johor's Temenggong Abu Bakar. When news spread, many people from all walks of life, including Englishmen who converted to Islam through Habib Noh, and those from the neighbouring islands came to pay their last respect. All horse-drawn carriages in Singapore came to a halt from their daily activities, to ferry the old folks, women and children to the funeral for free. But just before the cortege left the Temenggong's house for the burial ground, a strange phenomenon took place.

Before his demise, Habib Noh had actually instructed his friends to bury him at the top of Mount Palmer, which during that time was a small burial ground. Somehow on that fateful day, everyone had forgotten about it and they were all preparing to go to the Bidadari Muslim cemetery. When the time came to carry the coffin, it refused to budge from the ground. Nobody can lift it. The atmosphere turned panicky, and almost everyone cried upon seeing the coffin not moving one inch, despite the strong attempts of able men.

Fortunately, someone finally remembered the late Habib Noh's instructions; came forward and addressed the true situation to everyone. Each person realised their lapse in memory and immediately decided to proceed to Mount Palmer instead. Through the will of God, the coffin was able to move at much ease and cries of Allahu Akbar! (God is Great!) filled the air. As per his parting wish, Habib Noh was safely buried at Mount Palmer.

His karamah did not end there. During World War 2, when Telok Blangah was extensively aerial bombed by the Japanese, not a single bomb touch Habib Noh’s tomb. And when the Singapore’s government wanted to build an elevated highway along Tanjung Pagar, the bridge was designed to curved around it, the height almost on the same level as Habib Noh’s Mausoleum. It was almost impossible for every driver not to notice it. Now everyone can visit him without going up the 49 steps to the top of the hill that housed his grave.

Next time, when you drive around that corner towards the end of Tanjung Pagar’s highway bridge towards Changi Airport, do not forget to recite Al-Fatihah for this great saint.

May Allah bless his soul.

Thanks for being very honest with me friend!

I thank Allah for all the comfort for the past 19 years. I'm writing this after what might have been the most hard-breaking day for me yesterday. I can't even bring myself to talk to my mom about this. As a friend I failed. As a brother I failed. As a Muslim I failed terribly to help you guys. I pity you guys, but its true that I can only hear and not know how you feel as you are the one who's going through all this challenges instead of me. So much things happened during my absence. I'm still shocked and sad over whats happened. I'm really sad.

PERISTIWA ISRAK DAN MIKRAJ

Sempena bulan Rejab yang banyak keberkatannya ini, ruangan Bimbingan Rohani menyorot peristiwa Israk dan Mikraj yang berlaku pada 27 Rejab, setahun sebelum Hijrah. Penerangan yang diberikan adalah bersifat sepintas lalu, dan dicadangkan agar anda merujuk kepada ahli agama yang benar dan bertauliah seperti ustaz atau guru yang berkenaan bagi mendapatkan fakta dan huraian selanjutnya. Ringkasan peristiwa Israk dan Mikraj

1. Sebelum Israk dan Mikraj

Rasulullah S. A. W. mengalami pembedahan dada / perut, dilakukan oleh malaikat Jibrail dan Mika'il. Hati Baginda S. A. W.. dicuci dengan air zamzam, dibuang ketul hitam ('alaqah) iaitu tempat syaitan membisikkan waswasnya. Kemudian dituangkan hikmat, ilmu, dan iman. ke dalam dada Rasulullah S. A. W. Setelah itu, dadanya dijahit dan dimeterikan dengan "khatimin nubuwwah". Selesai pembedahan, didatangkan binatang bernama Buraq untuk ditunggangi oleh Rasulullah dalam perjalanan luar biasa yang dinamakan "Israk" itu.

2. Semasa Israk (Perjalanan dari Masjidil-Haram ke Masjidil-Aqsa):

Sepanjang perjalanan (israk) itu Rasulullah S. A. W. diiringi (ditemani) oleh malaikat Jibrail dan Israfil. Tiba di tempat-tempat tertentu (tempat-tempat yang mulia dan bersejarah), Rasulullah telah diarah oleh Jibrail supaya berhenti dan bersembahyang sebanyak dua rakaat. Antara tempat-tempat berkenaan ialah:

i. Negeri Thaibah (Madinah), tempat di mana Rasulullah akan melakukan hijrah. ii. Bukit Tursina, iaitu tempat Nabi Musa A. S. menerima wahyu daripada Allah; iii. Baitul-Laham (tempat Nabi 'Isa A. S. dilahirkan);

Dalam perjalanan itu juga baginda Rasulullah S. A. W. menghadapi gangguan jin 'Afrit dengan api jamung dan dapat menyasikan peristiwa-peristiwa simbolik yang amat ajaib. Antaranya :

§ Kaum yang sedang bertanam dan terus menuai hasil tanaman mereka. apabila dituai, hasil (buah) yang baru keluar semula seolah-olah belum lagi dituai. Hal ini berlaku berulang-ulang. Rasulullah S. A. W. dibertahu oleh Jibrail : Itulah kaum yang berjihad "Fisabilillah" yang digandakan pahala kebajikan sebanyak 700 kali ganda bahkan sehingga gandaan yang lebih banyak.

§ Tempat yang berbau harum. Rasulullah S. A. W. diberitahu oleh Jibrail : Itulah bau kubur Mayitah (tukang sisir rambut anak Fir'aun) bersama suaminya dan anak-anak-nya (termasuk bayi yang dapat bercakap untuk menguatkan iman ibunya) yang dibunuh oleh Fir'aun kerana tetapt teguh beriman kepada Allah (tak mahu mengakui Fir'aun sebagai Tuhan).

§ Sekumpulan orang yang sedang memecahkan kepala mereka. Setiap kali dipecahkan, kepala mereka sembuh kembali, lalu dipecahkan pula. Demikian dilakukan berkali-kali. Jibrail memberitahu Rasulullah: Itulah orang-orang yang berat kepala mereka untuk sujud (sembahyang).

§ Sekumpulan orang yang hanya menutup kemaluan mereka (qubul dan dubur) dengan secebis kain. Mereka dihalau seperti binatang ternakan. Mereka makan bara api dan batu dari neraka Jahannam. Kata Jibrail : Itulah orang-orang yang tidak mengeluarkan zakat harta mereka.

§ Satu kaum, lelaki dan perempuan, yang memakan daging mentah yang busuk sedangkan daging masak ada di sisi mereka. Kata Jibrail: Itulah lelaki dan perempuan yang melakukan zina sedangkan lelaki dan perempuan itu masing-masing mempunyai isteri / suami.

§ Lelaki yang berenang dalam sungai darah dan dilontarkan batu. Kata Jibrail: Itulah orang yang makan riba`. § Lelaki yang menghimpun seberkas kayu dan dia tak terdaya memikulnya, tapi ditambah lagi kayu yang lain. Kata Jibrail: Itulah orang tak dapat menunaikan amanah tetapi masih menerima amanah yang lain.

§ Satu kaum yang sedang menggunting lidah dan bibir mereka dengan penggunting besi berkali-kali. Setiap kali digunting, lidah dan bibir mereka kembali seperti biasa. Kata Jibrail: Itulah orang yang membuat fitnah dan mengatakan sesuatu yang dia sendiri tidak melakukannya.

§ Kaum yang mencakar muka dan dada mereka dengan kuku tembaga mereka. Kata Jibrail: Itulah orang yang memakan daging manusia (mengumpat) dan menjatuhkan maruah (mencela, menghinakan) orang.

§ Seekor lembu jantan yang besar keluar dari lubang yang sempit. Tak dapat dimasukinya semula lubang itu. Kata Jibrail: Itulah orang yang bercakap besar (Takabbur). Kemudian menyesal, tapi sudah terlambat.

§ Seorang perempuan dengan dulang yang penuh dengan pelbagai perhiasan. Rasulullah tidak memperdulikannya. Kata Jibrail: Itulah dunia. Jika Rasulullah memberi perhatian kepadanya, nescaya umat Islam akan mengutamakan dunia daripada akhirat.

§ Seorang perempuan tua duduk di tengah jalan dan menyuruh Rasulullah berhenti. Rasulullah S. A. W. tidak menghiraukannya. Kata Jibrail: Itulah orang yang mensesiakan umurnya sampai ke tua.

§ Seorang perempuan bongkok tiga menahan Rasulullah untuk bertanyakan sesuatu. Kata Jibrail: Itulah gambaran umur dunia yang sangat tua dan menanti saat hari kiamat.

Setibanya di masjid Al-Aqsa, Rasulullah turun dari Buraq. Kemudian masuk ke dalam masjid dan mengimamkan sembahyang dua rakaat dengan segala anbia` dan mursalin menjadi makmum.

Rasulullah S. A. W. terasa dahaga, lalu dibawa Jibrail dua bejana yang berisi arak dan susu. Rasulullah memilih susu lalu diminumnya. Kata Jibrail: Baginda membuat pilhan yang betul. Jika arak itu dipilih, nescaya ramai umat baginda akan menjadi sesat.

3. Semasa Mikraj (Naik ke Hadhratul-Qudus Menemui Allah):

Didatangkan Mikraj (tangga) yang indah dari syurga. Rasulullah S. A. W. dan Jibrail naik ke atas tangga pertama lalu terangkat ke pintu langit dunia (pintu Hafzhah).

. Langit Pertama: Rasulullah S. A. W. dan Jibrail masuk ke langit pertama, lalu berjumpa dengan Nabi Adam A. S. Kemudian dapat melihat orang-orang yang makan riba` dan harta anak yatim dan melihat orang berzina yang rupa dan kelakuan mereka sangat huduh dan buruk. Penzina lelaki bergantung pada susu penzina perempuan.

i. Langit Kedua: Nabi S. A. W. dan Jibrail naik tangga langit yang kedua, lalu masuk dan bertemu dengan Nabi 'Isa A. S. dan Nabi Yahya A. S.

ii. Langit Ketiga: Naik langit ketiga. Bertemu dengan Nabi Yusuf A. S. iii. Langit Keempat: Naik tangga langit keempat. Bertemu dengan Nabi Idris A. S. iv. Langit Kelima: Naik tangga langit kelima. Bertemu dengan Nabi Harun A. S. yang dikelilingi oleh kaumnya Bani Israil.

v. Langit Keenam: Naik tangga langit keenam. Bertemu dengan Nabi-Nabi. Seterusnya dengan Nabi Musa A. S. Rasulullah mengangkat kepala (disuruh oleh Jibrail) lalu dapat melihat umat baginda sendiri yang ramai, termasuk 70,000 orang yang masuk syurga tanpa hisab.

vi. Langit Ketujuh: Naik tangga langit ketujuh dan masuk langit ketujuh lalu bertemu dengan Nabi Ibrahim Khalilullah yang sedang bersandar di Baitul-Ma'mur dihadapi oleh beberapa kaumnya. Kepada Rasulullah S. A. W., Nabi Ibrahim A. S. bersabda, "Engkau akan berjumapa dengan Allah pada malam ini. Umatmu adalah akhir umat dan terlalu dha'if, maka berdoalah untuk umatmu. Suruhlah umatmu menanam tanaman syurga iaitu LA HAULA WALA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH". Mengikut riwayat lain, Nabi Irahim A. S. bersabda, "Sampaikan salamku kepada umatmu dan beritahu mereka, syurga itu baik tanahnya, tawar airnya dan tanamannya ialah lima kalimah, iaitu: SUBHANALLAH, WAL-HAMDULILLAH, WA LA ILAHA ILLALLAH ALLAHU AKBAR dan WA LA HAULA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAHIL- 'ALIYYIL-'AZHIM. Bagi orang yang membaca setiap kalimah ini akan ditanamkan sepohon pokok dalam syurga". Setelah melihat beberpa peristiwa! lain yang ajaib. Rasulullah dan Jibrail masuk ke dalam Baitul-Makmur dan bersembahyang (Baitul-Makmur ini betul-betul di atas Baitullah di Mekah).

vii. Tangga Kelapan: Di sinilah disebut "al-Kursi" yang berbetulan dengan dahan pokok Sidratul-Muntaha. Rasulullah S. A. W. menyaksikan pelbagai keajaiban pada pokok itu: Sungai air yang tak berubah, sungai susu, sungai arak dan sungai madu lebah. Buah, daun-daun, batang dan dahannya berubah-ubah warna dan bertukar menjadi permata-permata yang indah. Unggas-unggas emas berterbangan. Semua keindahan itu tak terperi oleh manusia. Baginda Rasulullah S. A. W. dapat menyaksikan pula sungai Al-Kautsar yang terus masuk ke syurga. Seterusnya baginda masuk ke syurga dan melihat neraka berserta dengan Malik penunggunya.

viii. Tangga Kesembilan: Di sini berbetulan dengan pucuk pokok Sidratul-Muntaha. Rasulullah S. A. W. masuk di dalam nur dan naik ke Mustawa dan Sharirul-Aqlam. Lalu dapat melihat seorang lelaki yang ghaib di dalam nur 'Arasy, iaitu lelaki di dunia yang lidahnya sering basah berzikir, hatinya tertumpu penuh kepada masjid dan tidak memaki ibu bapanya.

ix. Tangga Kesepuluh: Baginda Rasulullah sampai di Hadhratul-Qudus dan Hadhrat Rabbul-Arbab lalu dapat menyaksikan Allah S. W. T. dengan mata kepalanya, lantas sujud. Kemudian berlakulah dialog antara Allah dan Muhammad, Rasul-Nya:

Allah S. W. T : Ya Muhammad. Rasulullah : Labbaika. Allah S. W. T : Angkatlah kepalamu dan bermohonlah, Kami perkenankan. Rasulullah : Ya, Rabb. Engkau telah ambil Ibrahim sebagai Khalil dan Engkau berikan dia kerajaan yang besar. Engkau berkata-kata dengan Musa. Engkau berikan Dawud kerajaan yang besar dan dapat melembutkan besi. Engkau kurniakan kerajaan kepada Sulaiman yang tidak Engkau kurniakan kepada sesiapa pun dan memudahkan Sulaiman menguasai jin, manusia, syaitan dan angin. Engkau ajarkan 'Isa Taurat dan Injil. Dengan izin-Mu, dia dapat menyembuhkan orang buta, orang sufaq dan menghidupkan orang mati. Engkau lindungi dia dan ibunya daripada syaitan. Allah S. W. T : Aku ambilmu sebagai kekasih. Aku perkenankanmu sebagai penyampai berita gembira dan amaran kepada umatmu. Aku buka dadamu dan buangkan dosamu. Aku jadikan umatmu sebaik-baik umat. Aku beri keutamaan dan keistimewaan kepadamu pada hari qiamat. Aku kurniakan tujuh ayat (surah Al-Fatihah) yang tidak aku kurniakan kepada sesiapa sebelummu. Aku berikanmu ayat-ayat di akhir surah al-Baqarah sebagai suatu perbendaharaan di bawah 'Arasy. Aku berikan habuan daripada kelebihan Islam, hijrah, sedekah dan amar makruf dan nahi munkar. Aku kurniakanmu panji-panji Liwa-ul-hamd, maka Adam dan semua yang lainnya di bawah panji-panjimu. Dan Aku fardhukan atasmu dan umatmu lima puluh (waktu) sembahyang.
4. Selesai munajat, Rasulullah S. A. W. di bawa menemui Nabi Ibrahim A. S. kemudian Nabi Musa A. S. yang kemudiannya menyuruh Rasulullah S. A. W. merayu kepada Allah S. W. T agar diberi keringanan, mengurangkan jumlah waktu sembahyang itu. Selepas sembilan kali merayu, (setiap kali dikurangkan lima waktu), akhirnya Allah perkenan memfardhukan sembahyang lima waktu sehari semalam dengan mengekalkan nilainya sebanyak 50 waktu juga.

5. Selepas Mikraj

Rasulullah S. A. W. turun ke langit dunia semula. Seterusnya turun ke Baitul-Maqdis. Lalu menunggang Buraq perjalanan pulang ke Mekah pada malam yang sama. Dalam perjalanan ini baginda bertemu dengan beberapa peristiwa yang kemudiannya menjadi saksi (bukti) peristiwa Israk dan Mikraj yang amat ajaib itu (Daripada satu riwayat peristiwa itu berlaku pada malam Isnin, 27 Rejab, kira-kira 18 bulan sebelum hijrah). Wallahu'alam.

so thats the brief story of israk & Mikraj of the prophet Muhammad s.a.w
for your info 27rejab was yesterday.one of the most special dates in Islam.

I got a chance to see this video through brother Hafiz's blog. Just a comment, the content in his blog is so deep especially on his post, a letter to his friend. a quote that goes,"We have made Him our primary importance for an importance more primary than Him." Indeed this is a true statement. I seriously feel myself as one too upon reflecting. May all be blessed. InsyaAllah.

SIAPA LAGI MULIA???'

HAI MANUSIA ANJING………....

LEMBU : Hai anjing, apa khabar? Macam ada yg tak kena je?

ANJING : Aku tengah tension nih. Mau je aku gigit manusia tadi.

LEMBU : Eh? kenapa?

ANJING : Aku lalu tepi dua orang manusia lelaki dan perempuan yang

sedang berkepit. Tetiba si lelaki terperanjat dan terus

melompat dan berkata "Hoi anjing, pergi jauh-jauh, najis!".

LEMBU : Ya, lah. Ko kan haram. Najis tahap berat bagi manusia.

Biasalah tu.

ANJING : Kalau aku najis sekali pon, kalau dia tersentuh aku, boleh
disertu. Yang dia sentuh dan raba-raba awek dia tu apa?
Boleh ke nak sertu dosa?

LEMBU : Betul tu. Memegang wanita yg bukan mahramnya tanpa
ikatan yg sah, lebih dahsyat kenajisannya daripada
memegang ko anjing, malah tak boleh suci sekalipun
disertu.

ANJING : Wah.. ayat ko memang power la!...
Manusia kena ubah pepatah "Pandai macam LEMBU"

Sedikit Penjelasan:

Daripada satu hadis yang diriwayatkan daripada ibnu Majah menyatakan bahawa:

"Bergomolan dengan babi (khinzir) itu adalah lebih baik berbanding dengan bersentuhan (secara sengaja) dengan wanita yang bukan mahram". Bersentuhan (dengan sengaja & apatah lagi bertujuan syahwat)adalah berdosa dan wajib bertaubat (bagi membersihkan dosa). Sedangkan menyentuh anjing tidaklah berdosa dan hanya perlu disuci (bukan bertaubat). Menyentuh anjing bukanlah satu kesalahan (dosa) atau maksiat. Tetapi, menyentuh wanita bukan mahram adalah berdosa dan merupakan maksiat.

Di dalam satu riwayat hadis yang lain yang maksudnya,

"Sesungguhnya kepala yang ditusuk dengan besi itu lebih baik daripada menyentuh kaum yang bukan sejenis yang tidak halal baginya'.
(Riwayat At Tabrani dan Baihaqi)

"Katakanlah lagi (kepadanya): Adakah sama orang-orang yang mengetahui dengan orang-orang yang tidak mengetahui? Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang dapat mengambil pelajaran dan peringatan hanyalah orang-orang yang berakal sempurna". (Surah Zumar: 9)

Solawat badriyah yang dikumandangkan oleh ust fahrurrazi malam tadi,
membuat hatiku berada dalam keadaan sayu teringat kembali masaku di madinah.
Andaikah bahagianya pertama kali ku dapat menatap makammu dari jauh.
Selawat dan salam atas nabi yang memberi shafaat,
kepada umatnya di ahkirat kelak.

Masih ku ingat,perkataan yang dilafazkan ketika sakaratul mautmu YA yang mulia,

Umatku,Umatku......,Umatku.

Pengorbananmu Ya kekasih.

Rebah hatiku ketika mereka yang ahli kufur dan fasad membuat permainan melukis wajahmu,
Sampai hati kamu
Orang yang kamu sayang tidak akan mengambil rasa sakitnya goncangan sakaratul mautmu walaupun sedikit pun.
Ini rasul kamu teman-teman.

Ketika ziarah wadak,setelah ku melangkah kaki keluar dari babul bake',
itu lah saat-saat yang tidak akan ku lupakan,
betapa sedihnya hambamu ini Ya illahi,
Ku merayu kepadamu,
agar ku di rezekikan untuk ke kota madinah almunawwarah lagi

ikhlas

Umatmu yang hina

CINTA YANG MANA SATU YANG KITA PILIH?

Jatuh yang tidak ada orang simpati ialah jatuh cinta. Sebab jatuh cinta indah, tidak macam jatuh tangga atau jatuh pokok, sakit. Cinta banyak perkara cinta. Tidak ada siapa pun yang dapat larikan diri daripada mencintai dan dicintai. Kemuncak cinta, ada orang masuk syurga kerana cinta dan tidak kurang ramai orang yang akan dihumbankan ke neraka gara-gara cinta. Cinta yang begaimana boleh bawa seseorang ke syurga dan kenapa ada yang masuk neraka lantaran kerana cinta?

Cinta, rasa yang ada dalam hati yang tidak boleh disukat-sukat. Hati yang merasainya, sehingga boleh terhibur atau terseksa kerananya. Datangnya dari dua sumber yakni dari nafsu dan dari Allah.

Cinta yang diilhamkan oleh nafsu berlaku bila hati kotor, sering melakukan dosa dan tidak pula bertaubat. Sifat-sifat keji seperti sombong, ujub, riak, gila puji, hasad dengki dan lain-lain sifat jahat bersarang dalam hati tidak dikikis, maka ketika itu nafsulah yang akan jadi Tuhan dalam diri sehingga apa saja yang dilakukan mengikut arahan nafsu. Termasuk dalam meletakkan cinta, ukuran yang diberi dan sebab jatuh cinta pun ikut selera nafsu.

Lelaki akan jatuh cinta pada perempuan yang mendedahkan kecantikannya hingga tubuh badan perempuan itu sudah tidak terlindung lagi pada pandangan nafsunya. Cinta diberi ialah untuk mengisi keinginan nafsu seks lelaki kepada perempuan. Begitu juga wanita, jatuh cinta sebab lelaki kaya, handsome bergaya, ada jawatan dan lain-lain keistimewaan yang disenangi oleh nafsu. Lantas cinta diberi dengan harapan mereka dapat tumpang kemewahan dan kesenangan hidup lelaki tersebut. Jelasnya, cinta yang datang dari nafsu ditujukan untuk kesenangan nafsu semata-mata.

Bila bertaut dua cinta yang dilahirkan oleh nafsu yang punya kepentingan masing-masing maka berlangsunglah babak-babak melahirkan rasa cinta. Dari surat menyurat, telefon, ziarah, keluar makan-makan, berdua-duaan di taman bunga, dalam keadaan saling rindu merindukan. Ketika itu tak ada lain dalam ingatan melainkan orang yang dicintai. Sehari tak jumpa atau tidak telefon rasa berpisah setahun. Sudah tidak malu pada orang sekeliling, apa lagi pada Allah yang Maha Melihat. Lagi mereka tidak ingat dan takut. Lantaran itu mereka sanggup buat apa saja untuk membuktikan kecintaan pada pasangan masing-masing.

Hatta yang perempuan sanggup serah maruah diri konon untuk buktikan cinta pada lelaki. Yang lelaki pula rela bergolok bergadai untuk memberikan kemewahan pada perempuan sebagai bukti cinta. Akhirnya bila yang perempuan telah berbadan dua, lelaki serta merta hilang cintanya. Habis manis sepah dibuang. Kalau pada lelaki pula, ada duit abang sayang, tak ada duit abang melayang. Kalau pada suami pula, isteri seorang suami disayang, bila hidup bermadu kasih pada suami melayang.

Itulah falsafah cinta nafsu yang melulu. Cintanya hanya selagi nafsu ada kepentingan. Cinta inilah yang banyak melanda orang muda yang dilambung asmara. Hingga sanggup buat apa saja, sekalipun bunuh diri, kalau kecewa dalam bercinta. Walhal sedap dan indahnya sekejap. Sakitnya lama, sakit yang paling dah syatialah di neraka kelak. Inilah kemuncak cinta yang paling malang dan memalukan.

Cinta nafsu kalau pun boleh bersambung sampai membina rumahtangga ia tetap akan menyeksa. Kerana suami akan cinta pada isteri selagi isteri masih muda, seksi dan manja. Yakni selagi nafsu dapat disenangkan. Bila isteri tua, kulit berkedut, tampal make-up lagi hodoh, rambut putih dan gigi pun sudah banyak gugur seperti opah, badan pun sudah kendur, maka cinta suami akan beralih pada gadis muda yang menarik. Sekaligus hilanglah cinta suami. Menderitalah isteri yang hilang perhatian suami apalagi kalau terang-terang depan mata suami kepit perempuan lain, lagilah isteri terseksa.

Begitu juga si isteri. Cintakan suami selagi suami boleh membahagiakan dan menunaikan segala keinginan nafsu. Selagi suami kasih dan sayang padanya. Andainya suami hilang kuasa, jatuh miskin, masuk penjara atau suami kahwin lagi seorang maka serta merta hilang cinta pada suami. Sebaliknya berbakul-bakul datang rasa benci pada suami yang dulu dipuja tinggi melangit. Begitu mudah cinta bertukar jadi benci. Akibatnya berlakulah pergaduhan, masam muka, kata-mengata, ungkit mengungkit, suami tidak pedulikan isteri dan isteri pun hilang hormat pada suami. Rumahtangga panas dan menunggu saat untuk ditalqin kan ke kubur perceraian. Ketika itu tak ada lagi pujuk rayu, cumbu mesra sebagaimana waktu cinta tengah membara. Maka doktor yang menulis pun dituduh.

Itulah gara-gara cinta nafsu yang sudah menyusahkan manusia di dunia lagi.

Sebaliknya cinta yang dialirkan oleh Allah ke dalam hati, itulah cinta yang benar, suci lagi murni. Cinta yang bukan diukur ikut pandangan mata, tapi ikut pandangan Allah. Ia bersebab kerana Allah dan cinta diberi pun untuk dapat keredhaan Allah. Cinta begini tiada batasannya. Tidak pula kenal jantina dan kedudukan. Dan cinta lahir hasil dari sama-sama cinta pada Allah.

Boleh berlaku pada lelaki dengan lelaki, perempuan dengan perempuan, lelaki dengan perempuan, antara murid dengan guru, suami dengan isteri, sahabat dengan sahabat, rakyat dengan pemimpin, antara umat dengan Nabinya dan yang paling tinggi antara hamba dengan Tuhannya.

Kalau berlaku antara lelaki dengan perempuan yang tidak diikat oleh tali perkahwinan, mereka tak akan memerlukan untuk berjumpa, bercakap atau melakukan apa saja yang bertentangan dengan kemahuan Allah. Cinta mereka tidak akan dicelahi oleh nafsu berahi. Sebaliknya cinta itu ialah tautan hati yang berlaku walaupun tak pernah kenal atau baru kenal tapi hati rasa sayang dan rindu. Hati sedih kalau orang yang dicintai ditimpa susah, senang kalau yang dicinta itu senang. Sanggup susah-susahkan dan korbankan diriuntuk senangkan orang yang dicintai.

Cinta yang begini ada diceritakan dalam hadis, iaitu seorang lelaki yang bertemu dan berpisah dengan sahabatnya kerana Allah maka mereka akan mendapat perlindungan 'arasy Allah di padang mahsyar nanti, hari di mana masing-masing orang mengharap sangat lindungan dari matahari yang sejengkal saja dari kepala.

Kalau berlaku antara suami isteri maka isteri akan letak seluruh ketaatan pada suami, berkhidmat dan melayan suami tanpa jemu-jemu. Sama ada waktu suami tunjukkan sayang atau masa suami marah-marah. Sama ada suami kaya atau miskin, atau suami kahwin lagi, cinta isteri pada suami tidak belah bagi. Salah satu contohnya penderitaan mengundang bahagia. Kerana cintanya pada suami datangnya dari Allah hasil dari ketaqwaan isteri. Datanglah ribut taufan, angin puting beliung melanda rumah tangga, isteri tetap memberikan cintanya yang utuh dan teguh.

Begitu juga suami, cinta pada isteri tidak kira isteri itu muda atau tua. Sama ada pada hatinya. Selagi isteri taat pada Allah, isteri tetap dikasihinya. Kalau dia ada empat isteri, tentulah isteri-isteri akan tertanya-tanya, pada isteri manakah yang suami paling cinta? Kalau cinta itu bersumber dari Allah, tentu isteri yang paling taqwalah yang paling layak dicintai oleh suami lebih dari isteri-isteri lain. Sebagaimana Rasulullah lebih mencintai Aisyah kerana taqwa Aisyah lebih tinggi dari istei-isteri lain. Rasulullah saw akui sendiri hanya bersama Aisyah saja, dalam satu selimut baginda pernah diberi wahyu. Tapi tidak pernah berlaku semasa baginda satu selimut dengan isteri-isteri yang lain.

Sumber cinta yang datang dari Allah akan meletakkan Allah yang paling tinggi dan utama. Bila berlaku pertembungan antara cinta Allah dengan cinta pada makhluk maka cinta Allah dimenangkan. Misalnya seorang isteri yang cinta suaminya. Tiba-tiba suami larang isteri melakukan ketaatan pada Allah dalam hal tutup aurat, walhal tutup aurat itu Allah tuntut. Maka kecintaan pada Allah itu akan mendorongnya untuk laksanakan perintah-Nya walaupun suami tidak suka ataupun terpaksa kehilangan suami. Sanggup dilakukan sebagai pengorbanan cintanya pada Allah. Sebaliknya kalau dia turut kemahuan suami ertinya kata cinta pada Allah hanya pura-pura, cintanya bukan lagi bersumberkan Allah tapi datang dari nafsu.

Cinta yang datang dari Allah menyebabkan seseorang cukup takut untuk melanggar perintah Allah yang kecil, apalagi yang besar, lagi dia gerun. Seorang yang sudah dapat mencintai Allah, cinta yang lain-lain jadi kecildan rendah padanya.

Sejarah menceritakan kisah cinta Zulaikha terhadap Nabi Yusuf. Sewaktu Zulaikha dibelenggu oleh cinta nafsu yang berkobar-kobar pada Nabi Yusuf, dia sanggup hendak menduakan suaminya, seorang menteri. Bila Nabi Yusuf menolak keinginannya, ditariknya baju Nabi Yusuf hingga terkoyak. Akibat dari peristiwa itu Nabi Yusuf masuk penjara. Tinggallah Zulaikha memendam rindu cintanya kepada Yusuf.

Penderitaan cinta yang ditanggung oleh Zulaikha menyebabkan dia bertukar dari seorang perempuan cantik menjadi perempuan tua yang hodoh. Matanya buta kerana banyak menangis terkenangkan Yusuf, hartanya habis dibahagi-bahagikan kerana Yusuf. Sehingga datanglah belas kasihan dari Allah terhadapnya. Lalu Allah mewahyukan agar Nabi Yusuf mengahwini Zulaikha setelah Allah kembalikan penglihatan, kemudaan dan kecantikannya seperti di zaman gadisnya. Peliknya, bila Zulaikha mengenal Allah, datanglah cintanya pada Allah sehingga masanya dihabiskan untuk bermunajat dengan Allah dalam sembahyang dan zikir wirid sehingga terlupa dia hendak melayan kemahuan suaminya Yusuf yang berhajat kepadanya. Terpaksa Nabi Yusuf menunggu Zulaikha menghabiskan sembahyangnya, hingga hampir hilang kesabaran Nabi Yusuf lantas ditariknya baju Zulaikha sehingga koyak; sebagaimana Zulaikha pernah menarik baju Nabi Yusuf seketika dulu.

Begitulah betapa cinta yang dulunya datang dari nafsu dapat dipadamkan bila dia kenal dan cinta pada Allah. Cinta Allah ialah taraf cinta yang tinggi. Kemuncak cinta ini ialah pertemuan yang indah dan penuh rindudi syurga yang dipenuhi dengan kenikmatan.

Cinta pada Allah akan lahir bagi orang sudah cukup kenal akan Allah. Kerana cinta lahir bersebab. Kalau wanita cinta pada lelaki kerana kayanya, baiknya, tampan dan sebagainya dan lelaki cinta wanita kerana cantik, baik, lemah lembut dan sebagainya maka bagimereka yang berakal akan rasa lebih patut dicurahkan rasa cinta pada Allah kerana segala kenikmatan itu datangnya dari Allah.

Ibu bapa, suami, isteri, sahabat handai dan siapa sajayang mengasihi dan mencintai kita, hakikatnya itu semuanya datang dari Allah. Kebaikan, kemewahan dan kecintaan yang diberikan itupun atas rahmat dan kasihan belas Allah pada kita. Sehingga Allah izinkan makhluknya yang lainnya cinta pada kita. Walhal Allah boleh bila-bila masa menarik balik rasa itu dari hati orang-orang tadi kalau Allah mahu.

Allah yang menciptakan kita makhluk-Nya, kemudian diberinya kita berbagai-bagai nikmat seperti sihat, gembira, dan macam-macam lagi. Sama ada masa kita ingat pada-Nya ataupun masa kita lalai, tetap diberi-Nya nikmat-nikmat itu. Begitulah, kebaikan Allah pada kita terlalu banyak sebagaimana firman-Nya: yang bermaksud:

"Kalau kamu hendak menghitung nikmat-nikmat Allah, nescaya kamu tak terhitung."

Besar sungguh jasa Allah dari menciptakan, menghidupkan dan memberi rezeki, suami, isteri, rumah dan macam-macam lagi yang dengannya kita boleh lalui kehidupan dengan aman bahagia. Alangkah biadapnya kita kalau segala pemberian Allah itu kita ambil tapi lupa untuk ucapkan terima kasih, lupa pada yang memberi. Walhal, Allah boleh saja menyusah dan menyenangkan kita dengan kehendaknya.

Oleh itu orang yang betul kenal dan beradab, dia malu pada Allah. Malah kerana malunya itu dia tidak nampak yang lain lebih hebat dari Allah. Cintanya tertumpu pada Allah, dan penyerahan diri pada Allah sungguh-sungguh. Setiap saat menanggung rindu lalu masanya dihabiskan untuk berbisik-bisik dengan kekasihnya. Sehingga kerana terlalu mendalam cinta pada Tuhan ada hamba Allah yang berkata, "Wahai Tuhan, aku mencintai Engkau bukan kerana takutkan neraka-Mu. Tapi kerana Zat-Mu, ya Allah. Aku rela masuk neraka kalau itulah kemahuan-Mu."

Itulah rintihan hati seorang wali perempuan Rabiatul Adawiyah dalam munajatnya dengan Allah. Dia menyatakan dua cinta tidak boleh duduk dalam satu hati. Bila cinta Allah sudah penuh dalam hatinya, maka tidak ada tempat lagi untuk cinta selain dari itu.

Ada orang mangatakan: "Jika kau berikan hatimu atau pun cintamu pada manusia nescaya dia akan merobek-robekkannya. Tapi kalau hati yang pecah itu diberikan kepada Allah nescaya dicantum-cantumkan-Nya. Ertinya cinta dengan Allah pasti berbalas. Dan Allah tidak membiarkan orang yang dicintai-Nya menderita di akhirat."

Jadi seorang yang bijak dan beradab akan meletakkan kecintaan yang besar pada Allah, pada Rasulullah dan barulah pada makhluk-makhluk lain di samping-Nya. Itulah perletakan cinta yang betul dan menguntungkan di dunia dan juga di akhirat. Itulah dia cinta kita pada Allah swt yang patut kita letakkan.

Ajaran menghormati antara pasangan.

Jangankan lelaki biasa,nabi pun terasa sunyi tanpa wanita.
Tanpa mereka, fikiran dan perasaan lelaki akan resah.
Masih mencari walau ada segalanya.
Apa yang tiada dalam syurga?
Namun adam tetap rindukan hawa.

Dijadikan wanita daripada tulang rusuk yang bengkok.
Untuk diluruskan oleh lelaki.
Tetapi seandainya lelaki itu sendiri tidak lurus,
Mana mungkin kayu yang bengkok menghasilkan bayang yang lurus.

Luruskanlah wanita dengan jalan yang ditunjuk oleh Allah,
Kerana mereka diciptakan sebegitu rupa oleh Allah.
Didiklah mereka dengan panduan darinya.
Jangan cuba menjinakkan mereka dengan harta, kerana nantinya mereka semakin liar.
Janganlah hiburkan mereka dengan kecantikan, kerana nantinya mereka akan semakin derita.
Kenalkan mereka kepada Allah, zat yang kekal. Di situlah punca kekuatan dunia.

Akal senipis rambutnya, tebalkanlah ia dengan ilmu.
Hati serapuh kaca, kuatkanlah ia dengan iman...
Perasaan selembut sutera, hiasilah ia dengan akhlak.

Suburkanlah ia kerana dari situlah nantinya...
Mereka akan lihat nilaian dan keadilan Rab...
Bisikkan ke telinga mereka bahawa kelembutan bukan suatu kelemahan..
Ia bukan diskriminasi Allah...sebaliknya di situlah kasih dan sayang Allah...

Wanita yang lupa hakikat kejadiannya...
Pasti tidak akan terhibur, dan tidak akan menghiburkan...
Tanpa iman, ilmu dan akhlak..mereka tidak akan lurus...
Bahkan akan semakin membengkok...
Itulah hakikatnya andai wanita tidak kenal Rabbnya...

Bila wanita menjadi derhaka...pasti dunia lelaki akan menjadi huru hara....
Lelaki pula janganlah mengharapkan ketaatan semata-mata...
Tapi binalah kepimpinan...
Pastikan sebelum wanita menuju Ilahi, pimpinlah diri kepadaNya...
Jinakkan diri kepada Allah...
Nescaya akan jinaklah segala-galanya di bawah pimpinanmu...
Janganlah mengharapkan isteri semulia Fatimah Az-Zahra'
Seandainya dirimu tidak sehebat saidina Ali karamallahuwajhah

Aicha-Outlandish

[Verse1]
So sweet, so beautiful
Everyday like a queen on her throne
Don't nobody knows how she feels
Aicha, Lady one day it will be real

She moves, she moves like a breeze
I swear I can't get her out of my dreams
To have her shining here by my side
I'd sacrifice all the tears in my eyes

[Chorus]

Aicha Aicha - passing me by (there she goes again)
Aicha Aicha - my my my (is it really real)
Aicha Aicha - smile for me now
Aicha Aicha - in my life

[Verse2]

She holds her child to her heart
Makes her feel like she is blessed from above
Falls asleep underneath her sweet tears
Her lullaby fades away with his tears

[1/2Chorus]

[Bridge]

She needs somebody to lean on
Someone body, mind & soul
To take her hand, to take her world
And show her the time of her life, so true
Throw the pain away for good
No more contemplating boo

[Verse3]

Lord knows the way she feels
Everyday in his name she begins
To have her shining here by my side
I'd sacrifice all the tears in my eyes
Aicha Aicha - ecoute moi

[Chorus]

ORANG YANG SUKA NAIK DARAH

Setelah bertahun-tahun lamanya, seorang yang sangat mudah marah menyedari bahawa ia sering mendapat kesusahan kerana sifatnya itu. Pada suatu hari, ia mendengar tentang seorang darwis yang berpengetahuan tingi lalu ia terus menemuinya untuk mendapatkan nasihat.

Darwis itu berkata, "Pergilah ke suatu tempat, disana kamu akan menemui sebatang pohon mati. Berdirilah di bawahnya dan lakukan satu kebajikan dengan memberi air kepada sesiapa yang lalu di depanmu."

Orang itu menjalankan nasihat tersebut. Hari demi hari berlalu, dan ia pun dikenal ramai sebagai orang yang mengikut sesuatu latihan kebaikan hati dan pengendalian diri di bawah perintah seorang yang berpengetahuan dalam.

Pada suatu hari, ada seorang yang lalu disitu dalam keadaan tergesa-gesa, ia memalingkan mukanya ketika ditawarkan air dan meneruskan perjalanannya. Orang yang mudah naik darah itu pun memanggilnya berulang kali, "Hai, balas salam aku! Minumlah air yang aku sediakan ini, yang aku khaskan untuk sekelian musafir yang lalu di sini."

Namun, tiada jawapan dari orang yang lalu tadi. Kerana sifatnya yang dahulu, orang yang mudah naik darah itu tidak dapat lagi menguasai dirinya. Ia lalu mengambil senjatanya dan terus di kejar dan dibunuhnya orang yang lalu tadi. Pada masa orang itu rebah meninggal dunia, pohon yang mati disitu, bagaikan suatu keajaiban, tiba-tiba penuh berbunga.

Sebenarnya, orang yang baru dibunuh itu adalah seorang pembunuh. Ia sedang dalam perjalanan untuk melaksanakan satu kejahatan yang paling mengerikan dalam sejarah kehidupannya.

Jadi, disini ada dua jenis nasihat. Pertama adalah penasihat yang memberitahu tentang apa yang harus dilakukan sesuai dengan aturan-aturan yang pasti, yang diulang-ulang secara teratur. Kedua adalah manusia berpengetahuan. Mereka yang bertemeu dengan manusia yang berpengetahuan akan meminta nasihat moral dan menganggapnya sebagai moralis. Namun yang diabadikannya adalah kebenaran, bukan harapan-harapan soleh.

Something for us to ponder upon

Once upon a time, there was a rich merchant who had 4 wives.

He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.

He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He’s very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.

He loved his 2nd wife, too. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant’s confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.

Now, the merchant’s 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.

One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, “Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I’ll be alone. How lonely I’ll be!”

Thus, he asked the 4th wife, “I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?”.“No way!” replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word. The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant’s heart.

The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, “I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I’m dying, will you follow me and keep me company?”.“No!” replied the 3rd wife. “Life is so good over here! I’m going to remarry when you die!”

The merchant’s heart sank and turned cold.

He then asked the 2nd wife, “I always turned to you for help and you’ve always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?”.“I’m sorry, I can’t help you out this time!” replied the 2nd wife. “At the very most, I can only send you to your grave.”

The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.

Then a voice called out : “I’ll leave with you. I’ll follow you no matter where you go."

The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, “I should have taken much better care of you while I could have!”

We all have 4 wives in our lives. The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it’ll leave us when we die.

Our 3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.

The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we’re alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.

The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material wealth and sensual pleasure. It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps it’s a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than wait until we’re on our death bed to lament.

Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali mentions in Lata’if al-Ma’arif:

The month of Rajab is the key to the months of goodness and blessings that follow it. Abu Bakr b. al-Warraq al-Balkhi said: “Rajab is the month to sow the seeds; Sha’ban is the month to irrigate the crop; and Ramadan is the month to reap the harvest.” It has similarly been related from him: “Rajab is like the wind; Sha’ban is like the water-laden clouds; and Ramadan is like the rain.” Someone else mentioned: “The year in its entirety is like a tree: during Rajab its buds sprout; during Sha’ban it sends forth its branches; during Ramadan its fruit ripens; and the believers are the farmhands who harvest that fruit.”

It is opportune for anyone who has darkened the scroll of their deeds with sins to cleanse it with repentance during this month. Likewise, anyone who has squandered his lifetime without taking advantage of the opportunities to benefit his soul should take advantage of what remains of his life—starting with this month.

A poet said:

So cleanse your darkened hearts within Rajab;
with deeds that spare the soul Hellfire’s wrath.

One of the sacred months has come along;
no one who calls on God will be forlorn.

Heaven is for the one’s who cleanse their hearts
with lewd indecent deeds they’ll have no part.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to do righteous deeds during this month is a source of great gain. While filling each moment of the month worshiping God is a bounteous virtue. End quote from Ibn Rajab.

Let us all take advantage of the weeks that come before the blessed month of Ramadan. If we begin to fast voluntarily now, the fatigue and discomfort that sometimes accompanies the beginning of our obligatory fast will be behind us and we will enter the month with great spiritual momentum. Similarly, if we begin increasing our reading of the Qur’an now we will find it easy to read an even greater amount during the month of Ramadan, a month when we celebrate the revelation of our blessed scripture. An athlete who enters a race with a running start achieves a far faster time than one who starts the race from a stationary position. Let us take advantage of these days to get a running start into Ramadan.

Assalamu��alaikum to all.

Allahu Akbar! I��m back my friends. Safe and sound. I should count myself fortunate being invited to perform my umrah from the 3^rd to 17^th June. It��s a journey that really changed my life and it��s an eye opener for many, Subhanallah. No words can simply describe what I��ve been through.check out my friendster or facebook for pictures.

Ya rabal alamin.Diriku lebih hina daripada anjing dan babi

Janji dan amanahku yang tidak dilaksanakan

Lidahku yang jatam seperti pisau yang menusuk kalbu semua

Masa yang berlalu sungguh jauh meninggalkanku

Nasfu amarahku yang sehingga kini tidak terkawal

Ringan sungguh ku lalai malakukan solat

Kini ku sedar mati yang terdekat bagiku

Uji ku sebanyak mungkin di dunia

Tetapi jauhi lah ku dari Azab di akhirat kelak.

Ya Rabbal Alamin, dari manusia yang lebih hina daripada anjing dan babi

Ikhlas Yazid

Kisah Rasulullah sebagai pengajaran

1) Kalau ada pakaian yang koyak, Rasulullah menampalnya sendiri tanpa
perlu menyuruh isterinya. Beliau juga memerah susu kambing untuk keperluan
keluarga mahupun untuk dijual.

2) Setiap kali pulang ke rumah, bila dilihat tiada makanan yang sudah siap
di masak untuk dimakan, sambil tersenyum baginda menyinsing lengan bajunya
untuk membantu isterinya di dapur. Sayidatina 'Aisyah menceritakan 'Kalau
Nabi berada di rumah, beliau selalu membantu urusan rumahtangga.

3) Jika mendengar azan, beliau cepat-cepat berangkat ke masjid, dan
cepat-cepat pula kembali sesudah selesai sembahyang.'

4) Pernah baginda pulang pada waktu pagi. Tentulah baginda amat lapar
waktu itu. Tetapi dilihatnya tiada apa pun yang ada untuk sarapan. Yang
mentah pun tidak ada kerana Sayidatina 'Aisyah belum ke pasar.
Maka Nabi bertanya, 'Belum ada sarapan ya Khumaira?' (Khumaira adalah
panggilan mesra untuk Sayidatina 'Aisyah yang bererti 'Wahai yang
kemerah-merahan')
Aisyah menjawab dengan agak serba salah, 'Belum ada apa-apa wahai
Rasulullah.'
Rasulullah lantas berkata, 'Jika begitu aku puasa saja hari
ini.' tanpa sedikit tergambar rasa kesal di wajahnya.

5) Sebaliknya baginda sangat marah tatkala melihat seorang suami
memukulisterinya. Rasulullah menegur, 'Mengapa engkau memukul isterimu?'
Lantas soalan itu dijawab dengan agak gementar, 'Isteriku sangat keras
kepala. Sudah diberi nasihat dia tetap degil, jadi aku pukul dia.'
'Aku tidak bertanya alasanmu,' sahut Nabi s. a. w. 'Aku menanyakan mengapa
engkau memukul teman tidurmu dan ibu kepada anak-anakmu?'

6) Pernah baginda bersabda, 'sebaik-baik lelaki adalah yang paling baik
dan lemah lembut terhadap isterinya.' Prihatin, sabar dan tawadhuknya
baginda dalam menjadi ketua keluarga langsung tidak sedikitpun menjejaskan
kedudukannya sebagai pemimpin umat.

7) Pada suatu ketika baginda menjadi imam solat. Dilihat oleh para
sahabat,pergerakan baginda antara satu rukun ke satu rukun yang lain amat
sukar sekali.
Dan mereka mendengar bunyi menggerutup seolah-olah sendi-sendi
pada tubuh baginda yang mulia itu bergeser antara satu sama lain. Sayidina
Umar yang tidak tahan melihat keadaan baginda itu langsung bertanya setelah
selesai bersembahyang,

'Ya Rasulullah, kami melihat seolah-olah tuan menanggung penderitaan yang
amat berat, tuan sakitkah ya Rasulullah?'
'Tidak, ya Umar. Alhamdulillah, aku sihat dan segar.'

'Ya Rasulullah...mengapa setiap kali tuan menggerakkan tubuh, kami
mendengar seolah-olah sendi bergeselan di tubuh tuan? Kami yakin engkau
sedang sakit...' desak Umar penuh cemas.

Akhirnya Rasulullah mengangkat jubahnya. Para sahabat amat terkejut. Perut
baginda yang kempis, kelihatan dililiti sehelai kain yang berisi batu
kerikil, buat menahan rasa lapar.
Batu-batu kecil itulah yang menimbulkan bunyi-bunyi halus setiap kali
bergeraknya tubuh baginda.

'Ya Rasulullah! Adakah bila tuan menyatakan lapar dan tidak punya makanan
kami tidak akan mendapatkannya buat tuan?'
Lalu baginda menjawab dengan lembut, 'Tidak para sahabatku. Aku tahu, apa
pun akan engkau korbankan demi Rasulmu. Tetapi apakah akan aku jawab di
hadapan ALLAH nanti, apabila aku sebagai pemimpin, menjadi beban kepada
umatnya?' 'Biarlah kelaparan ini
sebagai hadiah ALLAH buatku, agar umatku kelak tidak ada yang kelaparan di
dunia ini lebih-lebih lagi tiada yang kelaparan di Akhirat kelak.'

8) Baginda pernah tanpa rasa canggung sedikitpun makan di sebelah seorang
tua yang penuh kudis, miskin dan kotor.

9) Hanya diam dan bersabar bila kain rida'nya direntap dengan kasar oleh
seorang Arab Badwi hingga berbekas merah di lehernya. Dan dengan penuh rasa
kehambaan baginda membasuh tempat yang dikencing si Badwi di dalam masjid
sebelum menegur dengan lembut perbuatan itu.

10) Kecintaannya yang tinggi terhadap ALLAH swt dan rasa kehambaan yang
sudah sebati dalam diri Rasulullah saw menolak sama sekali rasa ke tuanan.

11) Seolah-olah anugerah kemuliaan dari ALLAH langsung tidak dijadikan
sebab untuknya merasa lebih dari yang lain, ketika di depan ramai mahupun
dalam keseorangan.

12) Pintu Syurga telah terbuka seluas-luasnya untuk baginda, baginda
masih lagi berdiri di waktu-waktu sepi malam hari, terus-menerus beribadah
hinggakan pernah baginda terjatuh lantaran kakinya sudah bengkak-bengkak.

13) Fizikalnya sudah tidak mampu menanggung kemahuan jiwanya yang
tinggi.Bila ditanya oleh Sayidatina 'Aisyah, 'Ya Rasulullah, bukankah
engaku telah dijamin Syurga? Mengapa engkau masih bersusah payah begini?'
Jawab baginda dengan lunak, 'Ya 'Aisyah, bukankah aku ini hanyalah seorang
hamba? Sesungguhnya aku ingin menjadi hamba-Nya yang bersyukur.'

I have been busy with organizing a Family BBQ this may for all my relatives.We have come out with a committee for the event,that is consist of My sis,My 2 Nieces and myself.This just reminded me of my Event Management Module.Being the only male,I have to stand on my decisions firmly.

So yesterday after jamiyah went to my uncles house for a maulidur rasul event.Tabarakallah, the muis mufti syed isa semait,Habib hassan al-atas,as-sayyid as-syekh Afeefuddin al-gaylani and there were many more other habib and syekh from afew countries.Just for your info Syekh Afeefuddin is the 19th direct descendant of the famous scholar and saint of Islam, Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Gaylani (1077-1166 AD/472-561Hijrah).

So for those who wonder how he looked like,the picture above is his picture.His voice is simply mellifluous.

Hi, to all my readers. Been busy with work lately and for the mean time, here's a selawat for share.Try it.The meaning is in malay.

اللهمّ صَلِّ علا مُحَمَّد طِبِّ القُلُوْبِ وَدَوَائِهَا وَعَافِيَةِ الأبْدَان وَشِفَائِهَا وَنُوْرِ الأبصَارِ وَضِيَائِهَا وَعَلى آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَبَارِكْ وَسَلِّمْ
Maksudnya: "Ya Allah! Selawatkanlah ke atas penghulu kami (Nabi) Muhammad, penawar hati dan pengubatnya (hati), penyihat badan dan penyembuhnya (badan), pemberi cahaya penglihatan dan pemancarnya, juga ke atas ahli keluarga dan sahabat Baginda serta berkati sejahterakanlah."

Allahu Akbar!

Subhanallah, yesterdays maulidur rasul event was magnificent. The crowd was outstandingly large. After visit to Darul Ma'wa to see the preparation of the nasi briyani dam the night before. Ustaz catered a total of 12,000 people worth of food,reach home about 1am. Felt the anxiety burning through out the night and woke up as 5am to prepare myself for the event. Brother mazri picked me up at 6.30am after i performed subuh prayers and we proceed to expo which we reach at 6.55am.

Our microphone check was cut short as its time for ustaz Afazah to start his qasidah and salawat cause our tawakkal crew were late. We had a mini session outside the pavilion. Settle down and wait for our turn. I seriously enjoyed all the ceramah and diba'ie by all the fellow ustaz and ustazah.

So this is how the event goes following the order of sequence:

1)Qasidah & Salawat by ustaz Afazah
2)The reading of Holy Quran by Ustaz Afandi Amat
3)Ceramah & Berzanji by Habib Hassan
4)Ceramah & Salawat by Ustaz Saifourizal
5)Zikir & Salawat & Ceramah by Kiyai Kassim,Ustaz Nor,Ustaz Fahrurazi
6)Ceramah Ustazah Siti NorBahyah
7)Perfromance by Syamil
8)Our performance nasyid At-Tawakkal
9)Ceramah by ustaz Farid Ravi
10)Closing performance by Darul Ma'wa kids and Al-Khautsar

Still remember the ceramah by ustazah siti norbahyah, about surah al-hasyr and the story on how kids contravene and rebel their mothers.So here it is a little for everyone to share.

سُوۡرَةُ الحَشر

لَوۡ أَنزَلۡنَا هَـٰذَا ٱلۡقُرۡءَانَ عَلَىٰ جَبَلٍ۬ لَّرَأَيۡتَهُ ۥ خَـٰشِعً۬ا مُّتَصَدِّعً۬ا مِّنۡ خَشۡيَةِ ٱللَّهِ‌ۚ وَتِلۡكَ ٱلۡأَمۡثَـٰلُ نَضۡرِبُہَا لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ (٢١)

Al-Hashr

Had We sent down this Qur'an on a mountain, verily, thou would have seen it humble itself and cleave asunder for fear of Allah, such are the similitudes which We propound to men, that they may reflect. (21)

Read this surah and blow it on the back of the neck of your partners or in their foods/drinks and insyaAllah it will work to tranquilize them.Believe and keep the faith.

Ustaz Farid Ravi's ceramah was SUPERB! The way he sounded the azan and spontaneously reading the holy quran.

Overall its was awesome.Marha Marha.Wait for the following post for pics,InsyaAllah~

This post is dedicated to a teacher of mine. He is the one that strengthen SB as a class. We owe him to our success in our results. Unfortunately every good things has and ending. Mr Samson Shane Lee will be leaving us and also the school. He has taken up an offer by his previous company to work back there as a channel manager. We should be happy for him as he deserve a better paying job. Its just sad that he can't stay and develop this class further to its full potential and watch us graduate as a class.

Although Mr Samson doesn't read my blog, as a student of his, I should express my gratitude by atleast thanking him and acknowledging all his effort in bringing this class to a higher level.
There were times where we made him so angry that he just walk out on us, though he still cared about us by advising and counseled some of our classmates when needed. A teacher who never look down on anyone of us although we are weak or incapable of doing things that he ask us to. Always motivating SB and praising us for every little thing we do right.

He is more like a buddy than a teacher. The guy who is also known as Back-combed Chinese Arnold Schwarzenegger. All the best Mr Samson!

AllahuAkbar!

I also watch a documentary or you can say a short forum/show on a life of a women who's once experience the world after life. I may upload it in my next post.InsyaAllah.

وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجۡعَل لَّهُ ۥ مَخۡرَجً۬ا
"...And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out [of every difficulty]."

Dear readers, ahlan wa sahlan to my new renovated blog. All thanks to RACHEL for helping me to edit the background. Its been a while since I used the previous skin. So its time for a change. This skin looks more purified than the previous one. Exams is fast approaching and datelines for all projects are approaching.

Presented some of my project work in front of the whole class. To Jeffery, thanks for guiding the whole team and ending up doing the most amount of work. The whole team appreciates your effort in contributing to the presentation. To Raziqin, the one who never say "I can't hand it in on time" and always giving good work even though it takes to burn midnight oil. To Bob, he did contribute to the teams success by faithfully carrying out his tasks. To Fareez, thanks for handing in your work even though it takes a while. To Khairul, I hope you will change and be more engaged in the project next time InsyaAllah. To Mr Samson, thanks for giving us good grades. And to myself, Good Job! Yazid.

There is this issue that has been to my attention lately, its the way how an Muslim man or women behaves compare to a non-muslim. Sometimes non-muslims would do things that can touch the heart. They are not jealous of their peers who are better of then them, they don't accused people anyhow, they respect other religion. There are more examples of the good values they posses. I'm not trying to say that muslim people are bad, but just merely comparing us with non-muslims so we can reflect and think about our actions and improve in certain aspect.

Oh Allah! You give me the strength I need to overcome challenges in life. I seek your forgiveness and blessing to prosper in Life Oh Lord the beneficent, the merciful. May the good be blessed with good and the bad be blessed the same.Amin.

Lastly, If it goes by plan, my nasyid group At-tawakkal will be performing again in march. So here is one of our performance in Mujahidin Mosque last year.Enjoy~

We still have plenty more to catch up before handing in the project.

Salams everyones!

Its been a week or two since I blog. So you guys must been wondering how i did for my O levels right? Its non the less disappointing but I can't blame no one for it cause I myself didn't study well for it. I failed my maths but passed my combined humanities. Syukur Alhamdullilah! Lots of things happened this week, my dad's car back glass got smashed. Police came and told us about the incident. Mom called me up to informed about the case as I was not at home. Came back and clear the broken glasses off the car and tape up the part with black trash bag. The car was about to celebrate its first year birthday in a months time but some morons just have to damage the car. The whole thing just got worst on the day my dad sent it for replacement. The company needed a copy of a police report and insurance policy form to be handed in. The police officer who took our case didn't issue us any police report but merely a piece of card that refers to the case. So my dad came back and I called the Jurong Devision HQ to get a copy. I was referred to a few contacts before I could get through to the department that prints out the record of police reports. This department insist us of paying $30 for a police report. I was pissed off,so i called my uncle, who is a CID officer and told him about the situation. So withing minutes things got solved. Thanks to my uncle! Received the car back yesterday and it looks as good as new. I still believe that what goes around comes around, so for the person who smashed my dad's car I'm sure if you have a vehicle someone will get back at it.

The calls to some place is here. I'm, really excited and can't wait for it to happen.

Ayat Al-Kursi
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Allah! There is no God but He,
the Living, the Self-subsisting, the Eternal.
No slumber can seize Him, nor sleep.
All things in heaven and earth are His.
Who could intercede in His presence without His permission?
He knows what appears in front of and behind His creatures.
Nor can they encompass any knowledge of Him except what he wills.
His throne extends over the heavens and the earth,
and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them,
for He is the Highest and Most Exalted.

The Second part of this post will be publish in malay language. InsyaAllah. For your info, 19 January 2008 was a day to remember. It’s the birthday of my two friends. They are Iqbal and Sheri. It was also10 Muharram in the Islamic calendar, which is a very grand day. It’s a prestigious day as there were many histories being made in this date through out the years. For those who are keen do read the stories and also the paragraph on ‘Sejarah Asyura’ which is in malay text. I actually got it from the net, and those who don’t understand, you guys can get back to me and I might email you back in English. MasyaAllah, this is also my first post since both the Islamic 1429 hijrah and Current 2008 new year. It’s been a splendid week. Packed with school project. Completed nearly 80% of all projects. Collected both A’s for my BCM role-play and oral presentation. Bob and I work hard to achieve these results. Results of last years O level will be out either this or next week. Feeling anxious as to what I might get. What ever happens, I’m prepared for it, as there is a malay saying goes “tawakal dan redha”, which means depend on your lord for the best of it and if the results is not up to your expectation just be happy with it. I shall blog more when I have the time, for now I shall end this rant with salams.

Hari Asyura merupakan salah satu hari yang diraikan oleh umat Islam. Asyura berasal daripada perkataan Arab asyara yang bermaksud sepuluh. Ini disebabkan hari Asyura adalah hari yang kesepuluh di dalam kalendar Islam iaitu 10 Muharram.

Mengikut masyarakat Islam, hari Asyura telah menyaksikan banyak sejarah besar dan keajaiban berlaku ke atas para nabi. Disebabkan itu, masyarakat Islam menghormati hari tersebut seperti juga yang diamalkan oleh Muhammad s.a.w.

Sejarah Asyura

Menurut tradisi masyrakat Islam, Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. telahpun melakukan puasa Asyura sejak di Makkah lagi memandangkang puasa Asyura adalah amalan biasa masyarakat tempatan. Apabila baginda berhijrah ke Madinah, baginda turut mendapati yang kaum Yahudi turut berpuasa pada hari Asyura (atau bagi mereka adalah Yom Kippur yang juga pada hari kesepuluh). Ketika itu, Baginda mengesahkan dan mensyariatkan puasa sehingga ia menjadi satu kewajiban kerana baginda merasakan masyarakat Islam lebih dekat dengan Nabi Musa. Ibn Hajar al-asqalani, dalam pernyataannya terhadap sahih Bukhari mengatakan yang syariat puasa telah dijadikan kepada bulan Ramadhan setahun kemudian. Kini, masyarakat Islam melakukan puasa pada 10 Muharram sebagai amalan sunat dan bukan kewajiban.

Masyarakat Islam turut percaya akan berlakunya kejadian besar ketika 10 Muharram:

Hari pertama Allah menciptakan alam.
Hari Pertama Allah menurunkan rahmat.
Hari pertama Allah menurunkan hujan.
Allah menjadikan 'Arasy.
Allah menjadikan Luh Mahfuz.
Allah menjadikan alam.

Alhamdullilah.Remarkable week! Been working for the past 9 days without an off day.Guess what?Its my off day today~.The time for me to rejuvenate myself.About the previous post on pay rise,well its not officially that time.Its only official after yesterday.I'm not posted to Bali Lane yet but soon enough I will be.Bali lane will be opening in less than a week now.I've been appointed as a supervisor by my boss and am in charge of training new staffs.In life there will be hard times and in the end if you persist and managed to overcome it,something good will befall you.Syukur Alhamdullilah!

One of my friend's friend fractured his neck yesterday.Pity him.Hope entirety for him to be fine and pray for his fast recovery.
