It is good deed followed by another

Every time I write a new post, this thought always occurred to me: "How long has it been since the last post?". To me, every post is unique as every words written is the result from careful thinking, embraced with emotions, knowledge and experiences that I wanted to share with readers. May Allah swt always showers dear readers with His blessings in this world and hereafter insyAllah. Its interesting how time really flies without waiting for the others even for a split of a second. MasyAllah. There has been a few encounters where I wanted to share a lot, in this blog as the past few months has been such a busy months with so many events that Allah swt has drawn for me, however, thinking of the main reason why this blog was created in the first place, forbid me from exposing much of my personal life. Let it be in my personal diary instead of reciting it in the public ^^.

Thus, in this post, I would like to share a beautiful quote that I pick up from a beautiful book called: "Himpunan Ilmu dan Hikmah (Jilid 1)". This book covers a number of selected hadith in details, which include the histories behind the recitation of the hadith, what the scholars says about the hadith, the hikmah that we can pick up from the hadith etc. One of the quote that really affected me under the explanation for the 9th hadith recited:
"Umar bin 'Abdul Aziz ada berkata: Taqwa bukanlah dengan melakukan qiamullail dan berpuasa pada waktu siang, disamping melakukan maksiat antara kedua-duanya. Tetapi, taqwa ialah melaksanakan apa yang difardhukan oleh Allah swt dan meninggalkan apa yang diharamkan oleh Allah swt. Jika terdapat amalan lain di samping perbuatan itu, ia adalah kebaikan yang ditambah kepada kebaikan yang lain atau seperti yang beliau katakan"

Amazing isn't it. This word caused me to pause for a long period of time and kept me thinking. There were so many sins that we have done, plaited with good deeds (that Allah may not even look at...). Thinking that it is ok..but really, it is really not ok. We might call ourself a muslim, but sometimes, we might not act like one. Let alone becoming a muttaqin. Becoming a muttaqin should be every muslim's dream, before he/she dies, but the dream must come with action and great effort.

Being istiqamah in performing good deed is also part of the effort in becoming a muttaqin

The journey to become a muttaqin is not easy, we must admit, however, the strive in becoming one, starts with the cleansing work that we must perform every second of our life, as we might not realise (or in some cases we do), that the act that we are currently performing might be a sin in front of Allah swt. And as it has been mentioned in the quote above, being a muttaqin is when we perform things that Allah swt has asked us to do, leave the things that He has forbid us to do. While in between those two acts, is just another good deed followed by another one, continuously...
MasyAllah...

May this little quote leaves us to think deeply of our next action that we decided to take in our life. So that, with this effort, when Allah swt called upon His slaves, we will become among the best level of 'abid in front of Allah swt with the title of "Muttaqin". insyAllah...

This is one of the chapter title from Sister Oki's second book. Such an amazing master piece to read. Not just this chapter, but the whole book is filled with mind blowing contents that will always cause me to pause for a while and think for such a long time. With a very casual and light style of narration, it is amazing how every pages flipped can give endless dose of motivation, and inspiration for your life, gained from the lessons learnt off the others. For every stories told, my thoughts start to kick in action. How can through this reading, makes me a better person and a better 'abid in front of Allah swt?

For this particular chapter, she narrates about a little child who has a big dream. Although it seems to be out of reach due to his family difficulties, this little child continues to smile with enthusiasm and with his high spirit he said: "I am Muhammad Sandi Ramdana Akbar, will become someone BIG (in terms of influence not the size) as big as my name: AKBAR". This is only a little child who is just 12 years old.

That's not all. Remember our brothers and sisters in Palestin? I've came across a story of the a little girl, who was being approached by one of the volunteers from Aqsa Syarif (one of the NGO from Malaysia that helps the Palestinian). She was always seen to be smiling happily. By the look of it, it seems that she is enjoying her life, playing and going to school as if there is no war nor oppression going on. You could never have guessed that her home is constantly shortage of food and water. And you could never see the fear in her eyes, even when knowing that her life is always on the threat of being killed by those ruthless armies. When being asked about her life, she said: "Yes it is hard. Living here is hard. But I believe one day we will be free! and the whole Palestin will be back into our hands! If I don't get to see it, I am happy that I will die as a syuhada' instead!". SubhanAllah...

They have a dream.
A dream that may be too far to reach, too huge to hug, too hard to get there.
But they have a dream.
Even by only having a dream, one can see the light and hope in their life.
A dream that gives one motivation to continue to strive, to continue to run, to continue to live life trying hard to reach that dream.
A dream that would never let one's life to be wasted.
Every day and every second is a step closer towards that dream,
Isn't it better if the dream leads to the oasis?
Even though he/she can't swim across it, at least he/she can see it and enjoy the view of it.

Anyone can have a dream.
A dream to have a doctorate and a professor, even though you are currently struggling in your undergrad.
A dream to become a hafiz/hafizah, even though you constantly having a short term memory loss.
A dream to be the best wife or husband, even though your are still single.
A dream to be the best child to towards their parent and the best parent towards their child,
A dream to be the best murabbi towards their mutarabbi.
A dream to be the best student in the whole entire nation, the best teacher towards their students,
and a dream to be the best abid in front of Allah swt.
A dream to have the entire nation become obedient towards Allahs swt.
A dream to meet Allah swt, the creator of the entire universe and the reason of our existence.
A dream to meet Prophet Muhammad saw, the role model that taught us how to lead our life.
A dream to enter the jannah and enjoy all the eternal happiness conceived in it,

Have your own dream.
Because they can't blame you from having a dream.
Have your own dream.
Because a dream will initiate your step to turn them into reality.
Have your own perfect dream.
And strive to turn it into a reality!
A dream that in the end, when we meet Allah swt, we would be able to say:
"Ya Allah, this is my dream. That I strive during my lifetime. And I did for Your sake."
That is a dream.
A real dream.

What about you?
Do you have a dream?

A Blessed Guest

How long has it been? too long... More than a month that is. Full of spider webs and dust I think~
Well, it has been a while in fact, and looking at the condition of this blog, it has been left hanging for quite sometimes, and it really needs some new posts to make it alive again.

[credit]

There are so many things to share, but, due to the time constraint, I refrain myself from updating the blog. Its a pity, I know, but, I'll try my best to share as much as I can, from this insignificant experience of mine. 


Today marked 19th of July 2012, if based on the calendar, we will start our tarawikh prayer after isya' and the following day will be our first day of Ramadhan this year. SubhanAllah, may Allah swt allow us to meet His ramadhan, and allow us to enter the race in becoming a better 'abid. 


Talking about ramadhan, in an effort of getting enough stamina for the 30 days race, and being istiqamah for the next 11 months, I've searched the internet for a good talk for me to listen to. Alhamdulillah, I've come across an hour (just about) long talk by Ustaz Nouman Ali Khan. It was AMAZING! Totally turn my paradigm and my view on how I should welcome ramadhan into my life, and how we should welcome ramadhan into our life.


I've never thought of a simple ayat, from the surah Al-Baqarah 183-185 can mean so much, and make me understand more about the content of the overall surah Al-Baqarah. Why those ayat are being sent down in such a way and why those ayat were being organized in the middle of the surah like that. And why Allah swt, talk about taqwa all the time in the quran. Not just once or twice, but hundreds of time. Why? and it is funny how Ustaz Nouman make us understand by making a comparison that make so much sense. 


Of course, I am in no position to explain this matter further. Try and listen to the talk below. It really worth your time. In the name of Allah, the most beneficent and the most merciful... ^.^, 





p/s if you dont have time to listen now, feel free to download the audio version of the talk at the kuliah section on the right side of this blog. May Allah swt bless us always~
p/ss Happy Ramadhan everyone and let us make this Ramadhan as a race that we will never forget, and make us race faster towards Allah swt!

the little ones half way through

SubhanAllah, what happened today does worth a lifetime memory. I saw the little ones with heart so pure, like a glass of pure water (which were much cleaner and fresher than Avian water..heh)! ^.^, It was reflected through their clear eyes and smile which were so sweet that I think even a land full sugar and sweets are not enough to illustrate it..heh.

So, today mark the 3rd of June. It is still school holiday, and many will choose to fill the highway, heading to their respective tourist attraction places allocated all around the country. But not these 30 little ones who choose to stay to a few hour of "ijlis bina nukmin sa'ah". SubhanAllah... they were the one chosen by Allah swt to be in the program, and I understand why.

Initially, I thought the program was for them, the input, the presentation, the sharing, the resolution etc, but it was actually them who thought me so many lessons. They were the one who made me understand, they were the one to make me realized and start to appreciate the importance of being a tayyibat if you want your pair to be a tayyibin, and the importance of being a tayyibat for your children if you want your children to be a tayyibat and tayyibin as well. Did you know why? Because anak yang soleh(ah), is (are) the most precious jewel(s) to their parents. As only anak yang soleh who will wait patiently for their parents in front of the heaven... Why? Why would they wait for their parents when the heaven is there in front of them? That's the sweetness of anak-anak soleh. The heart that are so pure, ignorance of the time spent to wait for their parents, as long as they could enter the beautiful heaven together with their loved and beloved ones, who are called ummi/mama/mak/mother/bonda and abi/baba/ayah/daddy~

These are the memories~

Our murabbiah Mck Mah

One of the slots was to write down the little one's idea of a happy family

The little ones~

The second slot... the little ones were busy discussing their role as a child to a family

based on the 10 muwassofat of a muslim

Heh...these little ones are super cute and really smart!

The most senior among the little ones, their acting was amazing! 

maybe one day I will upload their video ok? heh

While eating... they were so indulge into their meal..yummy~

heh...I ate with them... talking to them made me smile all the way back home ^.^, 

With this, may Allah swt grant them beautiful heaven in the akhirat, insyAllah, and will wait for their parents and family in front of the jannah... amiin (together kite same2 amikan ok! ^.^,

approach yang berhikmah

bismillahirrahmanirrahim
wa alhamdulillah
wa astaghfirullah... ^.^,

Asif kathiran, sudah lama blog ini tidak di-update. Sesungguhnya waktu itu milik yang Maha Pencipta... semoga diberi waktu untuk kita semua lebih hampir kepada Allah swt, insyAllah...

Sebenarnya terlalu banyak yang ingin dikongsikan namun, ku masih mempunyai tanggungjawab yang masih belum selesai... prioritize! prioritize! prioritize! ^.^. InsyAllah selepas selesai, akan ku kongsikan a short story yang ummi ingin ku tulis di sini. tunggu ya~ sabar itu kan sifat seorang mukmin ^.^, mohon doanya~

Namun, dalam kesebukan ini, ingin ku kongsikan beberapa video yang sungguh mengagumkan bagiku. Video-video, yang sungguh kretif pembikinannya. Pada pendapat ku, mungkin penghasilan video-video ini adalah disebabkan situasi yang melanda anak-anak muda masa kini, dalam kemelut K-Pop, Korea (Drama, Idol, Running Man etc) Lagu-lagu cinta dsbg (erk..sebenarnya, pernah nampak yang tua pun melayan juga ^.^, peace~). hmmm... betapa banyaknya tanggungjawab kita yang masih tidak ditunaikan? Terlalu banyak madu'-madu' yang harus disantuni, dengan approach-approach yang berbeza-beza. Mungkin ini adalah salah satunya. Mari kita saksikan ^.^,

Di-adaptasi dari lagu Mr. Taxi oleh SNSD

p/s penulis dapat agak, bagi yang tidak pernah dengar akan lagu ini, akan mula search dekat youtube (atau yang pernah dengar dan ingin dengar sekali lagi~). Penulis WARNING awal-awal, betulkan niat sebelum search dekat youtube, kerana penyanyi sebenar ini SANGAT seksi! Jadi, semua (laki atau perempuan, ikhwah atau akhawat), kalau tengok, free-free dapat dosa, sebab tengok aurat derang, dan dosa-dosa lain yang sama waktu dengannya. Penulis cakap straight forward sahaja ni, sebab penulis tak nak dapat saham dosa juga~ ^.^, peace~

Di-adaptasi dari lagu Cinta Muka Buku oleh Najwa Latif

haa...bagaimana? unik kan approach mereka?

"Serulah ke jalan Tuhanmu (wahai Muhammad) dengan hikmat kebijaksanaan dan nasihat pengajaran yang baik, dan berbahaslah dengan mereka (yang engkau serukan itu) dengan cara yang lebih baik sesungguhnya Tuhanmu Dialah jua yang lebih mengetahui akan orangyang sesat dari jalanNya, dan Dialah jua yang lebih mengetahui akan orang-orang yang mendapat hidayah pertunjuk." (An-Nahl: 125)

We are Sorry because We are Your Parent

 Everyday, we are being chocked with shocking news that are pasted on the headline. News like baby dumping, human trafficking, prostitution, homosexuality, merempit, drugs, smoking, robbery, thieves, pick pocket, and many other social problem that occur in the country, which involves various type of people at various age.

 And it is so common that every time these things happen, we (the observer) tend to only blame it on how she/he was being raised up and by who. And that would bring us to their parents. The blame will always be towards them isn't it?

 "Anak siapa lah nie? Perangai buruk betul!"

 "Kurang ajar punya budak. Ni mesti mak bapak tak reti ajar"

 dan macam-macam lagi cemuhan yang kita mungkin penah lontar. And then, today, I saw in my fb newsfeed something that really hit the mind hard and touches the heart...

Kelas fardu Ain semalam memberi satu impak yg kuat. Ustazah berpesan kpd kami, seandainya kalian mempunyai ibubapa, kasihanilah mereka. Bila mereka sakit tunjukkan keprihatinan yg tinggi.

Semasa kalian kecil dan sakit mereka sangat mengasihani dan sgt prihatin akan kalian. Seandainya ibubapa kalian dalam keaadaan nazak bisikkan ditelinga mereka bahawa kalian memaafkan mereka.

Mereka mungkin telah tidak membesarkan kalian mengikut syariat yg di tentukan Allah swt. Maka itu satu beban berat yg terpaksa mereka jawab dihadapan Allah swt. Kata ustazah lagi, mungkin byk dosa2 yg terpaksa mereka lakukan dalam membesarkan kalian. Mereka mungkin telah meninggalkan sembahyang fardu kerana mencari nafkah membesarkan kalian. Mungkin mereka mencari nafkah yg haram hanya utk mencukupkan keperluan kalian.

Mereka mungkin tidak sempat belajar Fardu Ain semata2 kerana memenuhi tuntutan keperluan kalian. Jika tak sempat bersua kerana tinggal jauh dari mereka, pastikan anda memaafkannya melalui telefon. Biar meraka dengar pengakuan kalian bhw kalian sebagai anak2nya telah memafkan mereka. Mudah2an apabila kalian memaafkan mereka tatkala nazaknya, Allah akan permudahkan bg roh mereka untuk keluar.

Allahuakbar!

its not about money...money...money...

Some may feels really insecure when the figure in their bank started to depreciate, some may not even own a bank. (Tangan dkt dagu, rambut berserabut, muka masam macam cuka). Some doesn't feel anything when they bought 4-6 figure items and yet doesn't even know where to spend their money on (dagu naik tinggi-tinggi, kaki kanan atas kaki kiri, jari tapping dekat atas meja). Some are very calm, when there's people in need, they will give some money, when, they are in need, they will do their best to work for it, and ask Allah swt, who gave the rezeki to them. So, which one are we?

Today, I was very touched by the tazkirah jumaat posted on Aqsa Syarif's fb status, which wrote:

Sesungguhnya, setiap sumbangan / sedekah yang kita salurkan kepada yang memerlukan , tak kira besar atau kecil kuantitinya, akan dipandang dan dinilai oleh Allah...

Ada yang menyumbang RM1, RM 5, RM 50, bahkan ada yang menyumbang RM 1000 khas untuk qurban di Palestin.. Allahu akbar...

Merujuk pada ayat dalam gambar yang dilampirkan, manusia tidak akan mendapat hakikat kebajikan selagi tidak mengeluarkan apa yang ia sayangi...
Manusia sayangkan hartanya, tetapi jika ia infaq harta itu di jalan Allah, insya allah itulah kebajikan sebenar...

Ingat kisah dua anak Nabi Adam a.s. , yang mana seorang daripada mereka mempersembah qurban yang paling baik daripada hartanya untuk Allah, dan seorang lagi hanya ala kadar sahaja... akhirnya Allah menerima qurban yang baik itu sahaja....

Dalam ayat yang lain surah Al-Hajj, ayat 37 , maksudnya :
(Daging dan darah binatang korban atau hadiah itu tidak sekali-kali akan sampai kepada Allah, tetapi yang sampai kepadaNya ialah amal yang ikhlas yang berdasarkan taqwa dari kamu. Demikianlah Ia memudahkan binatang-binatang itu bagi kamu supaya kamu membesarkan Allah kerana mendapat nikmat petunjukNya. Dan sampaikanlah berita gembira (dengan balasan yang sebaik-baiknya) kepada orang-orang yang berusaha supaya baik amalnya)

Nah.... lihatlah... memang benar jika semakin banyak harta kita sumbangkan, semakin besar pahalanya... tetapi ingat, sumbangan walaupun sedikit, namun kerana keikhlasan hati menyumbang sesuatu yang disayangi, amalan itulah yang akan sampai pada Allah....

Akhir kata, jangan persoalkan apa Allah beri pada kita.. sebaliknya, kita persoal diri sendiri, apa yang kita telah beri demi Allah......
Wallahu a'lam... Wallahu waliyyut taufiiq...

13 ques

Pernah nasihat dan tegur kawan-kawan wanita anda yang tidak menutup aurat? Jom kita tengok apakah alasan yang selalu digunakan wanita yang enggan menutup aurat apabila ditegur kesalahan mereka itu. Dan apa jawapan yang mungkin sesuai untuk mereka:-
 
1. Semua yang tutup aurat, kompom masuk syurga ke?
-Yang pasti, tak tutup aurat, kompom masuk neraka.
 
2. Tudung labuh pun macam baik sangat. Buat dosa jugak. Mengumpat orang.
-Bila Iblis tak mahu ikut perintah Allah untuk bersujud kepada Adam, dia menyalahkan perintah Allah itu. "Apahal pulak aku kena sujud, aku lebih baik dan mulia". Samalah dengan tudung. Tudung pula yang disalahkan, " pakai tudung tak mestinya baik..bla...bla...bla..."
 
3. Macamlah kau bagus sangat nak tegur aku. Kau dulu lagi jahat nak mampos.
-Tidak tersabit larangan dari Nabi untuk seseorang yang bahkan baru masuk Islam untuk pergi berdakwah kepada kaumnya. Maksudnya, dakwah itu tuntutan. Selagi kau Islam, dakwah tu wajib walaupun kau sendiri tak berapa betul. Sekurang-kurang dia insaf dan bertaubat sekarang.
 
4. Walau kami pakai seksi tapi hati kami baik.
-Adakah kau mendakwa diri kau mempunyai hati yang suci, iman yang tinggi dan kononnya ia sudah cukup menjamin maruah diri kau tanpa perlu menutup aurat?
 
5. Pakai jarang ke ketat ke, itu hak kami. Kalau tak suka jangan tengok.
-Adakah kau berani menjamin bahawa semua lelaki ajnabi mempunyai hati suci dan iman yang tinggi untuk menahan godaan syaitan serta nafsu yang membuak-buak?
 
6. Kami rasa apa yang kami pakai tak seksi. Terpulang kepada individu yang memandang kami.
-Seksi atau tidak, kau tetap berdosa walaupun hanya menayang sehelai rambut kau.
 
7. Walau kami tak bertudung, kami tetap sembahyang dan puasa.
-Apakah ibadat kau diterima? Kau yakin cuma dengan berpuasa sudah cukup untuk menjamin kau masuk syurga?
 
8. Sukahati kamilah nak pakai macam ni. Kami tak susahkan hidup orang lain.
-Kau sebenarnya dah susahkan bapa, abang, adik, suami serta orang lain dengan menarik mereka ke neraka bersama kau disebabkan mereka tidak menegur dan gagal mendidik kau.
 
9. Apa yang kami pakai, ini antara kami dengan Tuhan.
-Berani cakap di dunia, berani ke kau cakap macam tu depan Allah nanti? Lawan perintah Allah, Neraka tempatnya.
 
10. Kami pakai seksi macam ni, sebab ikut arahan photographer/pengarah filem untuk disesuaikan dalam scene. (ayat artis)
-Sanggup patuh arahan mereka daripada patuh suruhan Allah?
 
11. Bukan kami tak mahu menutup aurat, cuma masih belum sampai seru.
-Mati tidak mengenal usia. Tak takut ke mati dalam usia muda? Tak sempat nak bertaubat nanti.
 
12. Takkan nak buat perubahan secara drastik? Slow-slow la..
-Boleh ke cakap kat Malaikat Izrail nanti, tunggu kejap! Lepak la dulu. Jangan ambil lagi nyawa aku.
 
13. Tutup aurat tu bagus tapi kami tidak mahu hipokrit kerana tidak ikhlas melakukannya.
-Kalau begitu kau sebenarnya memang hipokrit kerana tidak ikhlas beragama Islam.
