Nak pakai tudung atau lepaskan?

Oh our sister for the sake of Allah, dont fall for the temptations of Syaitan, 

The Hijab is an obligation from our Lord Al Mannaan (The Bestower),

We have indeed heard our sister, outrageous statement. 

They have said displeasing words about the hijaab, 

They said, "The hijab is a a form of darkness and opression in the form of clothes"

They said, "A tent has been hung over the necks",

They have called for the "liberation of young women and have written books about it"

They have drawn a path for the unlawful display of beauty and to waste the youth. 

O our sister, this is the howl of the malicious wolves.

The fire is the abode of the oppressors, for them is a punishment.

Allah will uncover their oppression on the day of account. 

and jannah is the abode (of the believers) and what a beautiful abode of return it is.

Kind heart

How do we know whether we have a sound and kind heart? 

How do we know whether this heart that will return to Allah swt is as good as how we receive them? 

Today, when I was running for a groceries, to get some fruits from a local store, upon paying, the cashier mentioned:

"Nanti akak ambil ya bekas di luar tu, percuma. Pak Mart setiap hari jumaat, kami beri dekat semua orang. Sedekah"

Then, outside of the store, reside a pao seller. A young man in his twenties. Initially I wasn't going to buy but something makes me wanted to spend. 2 cups of coconut water and 4 pao of different flavours. It totaled up to RMxx. It took sometime for him to calculate the return, and I assist. However, upon driving leaving the store, my mind suddenly hit the break. He totaled them up wrongly! I made a U turn and asked him: 

"Dik, air kelapa tadi berapa RM? "

"RM2 kak"

"Awak tak kira sekali ya? Tadi akak bayar RMxx"

"Tak pe..saya sedekah" 

I was dumbfounded. I was shocked and amazed. Allah swt showed me that there are a lot of people out there who have sound and kind heart. They know the power of sedekah. They understand the ability of Allah swt's blessing to those who give more, who give everything they can in their power to others. They know the reward that comes with it and the embrace it with love and showed them in form of  deeds with all their heart. 

Bandingan (derma) orang-orang yang membelanjakan hartanya pada jalan Allah, ialah sama seperti sebiji benih yang tumbuh menerbitkan tujuh tangkai; tiap-tiap tangkai itu pula mengandungi seratus biji. Dan (ingatlah), Allah akan melipatgandakan pahala bagi sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya, dan Allah Maha Luas (rahmat) kurniaNya, lagi Meliputi ilmu pengetahuanNya.

Surah al-Baqarah: 261

I don't feel that I deserve these kindness, thus, kindness receive, kindness return. The ripple effect that a small act of kindness can make this world a better place. When I came back to the car, my children were amazed at the amount of food that we receive. I told them who gave them and made doa for those who helped others and shared their rizq to us. And after I left the pao stall, 2 more customers came and buy from him. May Allah swt multiply his rizq, grant him with good health and ease all of his matters. And for those who lived in Sendayan, do come to Pak Mart @ Merchant Square.

Feeling of wanting to hear continuous typing

Regardless of the time that has passed, wanting to write and also tell others about a snippet or a small fraction of you life, sometimes feels exciting but most of the time, it feels too personal to share. However, tonight, I fell like listening to the stream of keyboard clicks. 

Have you ever wonder why there are time where you feel like you wanted to do lots of good stuffs, increase your deeds and motivated to do more. A little extra of everything. Extra cleaning. Extra organizing. Extra sunnah. Extra Reading. Extra Helping. Not long after that you feel extremely exhausted, wanting to quit and just dragging your feet and head to finish a task. 

Being consistent, istiqamah is never easy. It needs a consistent effort to stay consistent. But the trial from Allah swt, doesn't stop at one only. It came one after another, and on top of that, you are struggling to stay consistent. There are times where you swayed away by other interest in the less important stuff. Getting caught up into an obsessions, or new interest, that makes the consistent effort needs an extra effort. 

So, how do we stay consistent? How do we maintain our istiqamah? How did Rasulullah saw stayed consistent throughout 23 years of dakwah? How do the sahabat & sahabiah stayed consistent? We are all human being after all. 

Did you know that one of Sahabah's son used to remember Surah Qaff by heart because he always hear Rasulullah saw recite the surah almost every friday prayer? Why this particular surah out of all the others? And why does he choose to recite and elaborate this surah every week? 

Try and read the surah, which is the 50th surah in the quran. Read through the meaning of each ayat and you will understand why Rasulullah saw choose this particular surah. The main aim is for the sahabah to be steadfast in their life. To remain consistent and to always tie their heart towards Allah swt. 

So, what about us?

Pantun Perkenalkan diri

Lucu sebenarnya. Kadang kala kita merasakan yang kita tidak mampu mahupun berupaya untuk melakukan sesuatu diluar kebiasaan kita. Being outside of our comfort zone feels odd, anxious, nervous and most of the time, it causes us to be at the edge, physically and emotionally. Namun, oleh kerana perkara tersebut adalah sesuatu yang perlu kita lakukan, perlu kita lalui, tiada lagi cara lain yang boleh kita lakukan melainkan menempuhinya dengan bismillah. Allah yang memberi ujian ini, pasti Allah membantu kita mengharunginya dan insyAllah dengan redha Allah, kita boleh!

Menulis dalam bahasa adalah satu perkara yang janggal untuk diri saya. Terasa pelik. Namun, apabila diminta untuk perkenalkan diri dalam bentuk pantun, terasa seperti disambar petir dan genjatan eletrik. Apatahlagi permintaan tersebut berlaku dikala amanah yang banyak perlu diselsaikan. SubhanAllah... Maka dikongsikan rangkap-rangkap pantun yang diinspirasi dari Surah Asy Syams. 

Indahnya Matahari dan cantiknya bulan, 

Semuanya adalah ciptaan Allah, 

Assalamualaikum, salam perkenalan

Nama saya *********

Masak lomak cili api, 

Saya dari ***** Nogori. 

Bila siang jelas nyata, 

bila malam gelap gelita, 

Ini adalah kali pertama, 

Saya dilantik menjadi Penolong Setiausaha

Lihatlah langit kukuh yang Allah bina, 

Indahnya hambaran bumi penuh dengan makhluk-makhluknya, 

Saya asal dari Johor negeri tercinta, 

Mempunyai keturunan Jawa, cina dan Utara.

Sempurnanya kejadian manusia, 

Boleh berfikir, memilih dan mengira, 

Menamam pokok dan menjahit adalah hobi saya, 

Di waktu lapang bila ada masa. 

Pelbagai makhluk Allah cipta, 

Datang sekali dengan ujiannya, 

Kes Covid 19 semakin ramai yang kena, 

Saya doakan semuanya dikurniakan kesihatan dengan sempurna. 

Bulan Ramadhan hampir tiba, 

Semoga para ibu kuat mengharunginya, 

Menggapai taqwa dan redha Allah tujuan utama, 

semoga akhirnya kita semua masuk syurga. 

Anak2 berlari bermain bersama, 

Membesar riang dalam didikan ibu ayah, 

Semoga menjadi imam kepada orang-orang bertaqwa, 

dalam relung tarbiyyah islamiyyah. 

Wanita bekerjaya, mahupun suri rumah, 

semuanya sama di sisi Allah, 

tiada yang membezakan kita, 

kecuali keimanan & ketaqwaan kepada Allah 

Sekian saja dari saya, 

doakan saya sihat dan kuat, 

maafkan saya jika ada silap dan salah, 

mohon tegur dan berikan nasihat.

Nota Surah Al Lail

The amazing thing about the ayat in the al quran is that, it usually comes in pairs. The night, the day, the sun, the moon, the earth, the sky or anything in between. No matter where we turn our head, it will remind us of Allah swt. The fact that we can open our eyes in the morning to see the light of the day should remind us of Allah swt, The fact that we are able to utilize the night to get a good rest should remind us of Allah swt. Allah is everywhere. Allah is always near. SubhanAllah 

Thus, from Surah Al -Lail, what do you think Allah swt wanted to remind us of? There are three main things that Allah swt wanted us to understand: 

1) Who are those people who are generous and stingy

2) People who give for the sake of Allah swt. 

3) What happen to these two type of people?

Can we be the next Abu Bakar As Siddiq? Who gave out everything, and entrust his family fully to Allah swt? Who was the first one to grab the opportunity to do good deeds? 

Hope you gain benefit from this note.
