IAW 2012.. =))

Alhamdulillah (All praise to God) for making IAW a success. for giving us the opportunity to spread the beauty of islam to people around us and at the same time to strengthen our own understanding and knowledge about islam. it is indeed a memorable experience to be able to interact with all sorts of people with different perspective on how they view their life and also life of a muslim..

the best moment that I experienced is when I was telling about quran to my classmate,Elaine about Quran being universal and full of guidelines not just in terms of our prayer, but also attitude to others, history, science and others. and then when I was talking to her about there is a verse that state specifically about embryology but I could not remember which surah is that and then I was turning the quran (hoping that I could find that ayat)  and POP!!!! that exact verse came across!! Alhamdulillah .=)

surah Al-Mu'minun:14: Then We made the sperm-drop into a clinging clot, and We made the clot into a lump [of flesh], and We made [from] the lump, bones, and We covered the bones with flesh; then We developed him into another creation. So blessed is Allah , the best of creators.

and there was a moment that I feel so ashamed on how  limited knowledge I have about islam, that I could not answer their questions confidently. maybe its a sign for me to start reading!! to enquire the true knowledge about islam, global issue in islam, and basics little things that I have been practising for 20 years and counting..insyaAllah,..

96:1: Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), 
96:2: Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood). 
96:3: Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous,
96:4: Who taught by the pen 
96:5: Taught man that which he knew not.
96:6; Nay! Verily, man does transgress all bounds (in disbelief and evil deed, etc.)
96:7: Because he considers himself self-sufficient. 
96:8: Surely! Unto your Lord is the return

I also learned a lot about how good listening skills can touched some one hearts and it is the best medium in order to convey message to others. like logically communication is all about two ways communication when someone speaks, the other listen. but how good we are at listening? are we the person who just think we are right , do not want to even listen to others idea, are we the person who just literally thinks others are wrong? well, let us reflect back and improve on that.

Halal Food Festival was amazing! Thanks for all the endless support from seniors and friends..we received positive comments on how great the food was one after another. Alhamdulillah..there's even a guy asked about the name of that dish because he is going to cook later. hehe..and someone came again and again for that currypuff and even help us to promote it to his other friends..and the best part is we get the chance to tell others what is halal food, to correct the misconceptions that we are vegetarian, when in fact we aren't. =)

last but not least I would like to express my biggest appreciation from deep in my heart : 

jazakumullah khairan kathira 'May Allah grant you (goodness)'

for those who contributed a lot in this event..may this be one of the effort that bring us closer to Allah, insyaAllah..=))

Power of seeking forgiveness

seeking forgiveness and forgive which is better? which is more difficult to be done? to reduce your own ego, to admit your mistakes, to sincerely ask forgiveness from someone? to seek forgiveness to Allah for all your sins whether you realised it or not, the feeling of insincere, feeling of superiority and feeling of you are the only controller of what you are doing, feeling of you deserved more?

when infact you are nothing! you know, but actually you don't know.you say you tawakal, you say you are grateful, but you don't practise what you say in your life! why??


because we are humans who are always forgetful, who are easily influenced by the syaitan whispering  like stated in quran:

17:64: And incite [to senselessness] whoever you can among them with your voice and assault them with your horses and foot soldiers and become a partner in their wealth and their children and promise them." But Satan does not promise them except delusion. 

because we are humans who cannot control our anger, whose ego is too big until there's a feeling of "I am good enough", who always point for others mistakes and the list goes on...

so what? what's wrong of being that type of human since we are ourselves are also humans?

because its dangerous to your soul, because you will then not realised what you are doing a sin. until that time when you don't make doa, repent to Allah, when you don't know what is right or wrong, when your tears are frozen!!!

ok2..so how can I avoid that moment of lupa diri?

Narrated by Abu Huraira (R.A) :

I heard Allah's Apostle Sallallahu 'alayhi Wasallam saying." By Allah! I ask for forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance more than seventy times a day."

Volume 008 , Hadith 320

Narrated by Al-Harith bin Suwaid (R.A) :

'Abdullah bin Mas'ud related to us two narrations: One from the Prophet and the other from himself, saying: A believer sees his sins as if he were sitting under a mountain which, he is afraid, may fall on him; whereas the wicked person considers his sins as flies passing over his nose and he just drives them away like this."

1.make doa consistently:

Our Lord ! we have sinned against ourselves and unless You grant us forgiveness and bestow Your mercy upon us , we shall most certainly be lost

2.always take time to reflect upon yourselves and repent with the best repentance (taubat Nasuha):

1- To desist (i.e, to stop first) from committing it.

 2- To feel sorry (i.e, have sincere remorse) for committing it.

3- To decide not to recommit it again.

 

3.always seek forgiveness to Allah and the person you have hurted

4.always watch your tongue

17:53: And tell My servants to say that which is best. Indeed, Satan induces [dissension] among them. Indeed Satan is ever, to mankind, a clear enemy.

 last but not least , lets always istighfar.

source from seek forgiveness & repentance from Allah

dakwah!

 

persepsi sesetengah masyarakat muslim tentang dakwah:

"aku x layak bg dakwah ni, ilmu x seberapa lg"
"alaa...mesti la dia tau punye..basic kot."

"hmm..nanti ade owg lain bgtau kot kt dia"

"spe la aku nk tegur owg, dri sendri pn x bgs lg, ni nk tegur owg plak.."

 dakwah? apekah maksud dakwah? spe yg sebenarnye layak berdakwah? apakah kepentingan dakwah?

Dan tidak ada yang lebih baik perkataannya daripada orang yang menyeru kepada (mengesakan dan mematuhi perintah) Allah, serta ia sendiri mengerjakan amal yang soleh, sambil berkata: "Sesungguhnya aku adalah dari orang-orang Islam (yang berserah bulat-bulat kepada Allah)!"-surah Fussilat:33

tambahan pula, sunnah terbesar Rasulullah SAW ialah dakwah.:

Terjemahan: "Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: “Sampaikan dari ku walaupun sepotong ayat."

jadi, sudah terang lagi bersuluh yang berdakwah ialah kewajipan setiap muslim. dakwah sememangnya mempunyai konteks yg besar bkn hanya setakat bg tazkirah, ceramah agama, tapi more than that..its simpler!ajk solat jemaah, ajk pegi majlis ilmu, tlg member phm certain topik, explain kt housemate non-muslim about islam dan mcm2 lg. tinggal nk wt ke x je kn? jadi meh la kte sme2 berpesan2 kepada kebenaran dgn sabar. and at the same time walk the talk. sebab Allah berfirman dalam surah As-Saf: 

Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Mengapa kamu memperkatakan apa yang kamu tidak melakukannya! 

Amat besar kebenciannya di sisi Allah - kamu memperkatakan sesuatu yang kamu tidak melakukannya. 

jadi, ape tunggu lagi? jom kte target sampaikan sesuatu yg bermanfaat everyday. and at the same time kne jgk la tambah ilmu, belajar n tros belajar from owg yg tahu, bace bku2 agama etc so that ape yg kte sampaikan tu bkn kosong semata-mata tp ilmu yg bermanfaat InsyaAllah. dan semuanya berbalik kepada niat utk mendekatkan diri kepada Allah berlandaskan Quran dan sunnah.

P/S: jom activate dri dan activate owg lain jgk! transform!! =))

semoga dipermudahkan segala urusan kte dunia akhirat.

"Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku menyerahkan kepada-Mu apa yang telah Engkau ajarkan kepadaku. Maka kembalikanlah (peringatan) semula kepadaku apabila aku memerlukannya dan janganlah Engkau menjadikan aku melupainya. Limpahkanlah selawat kepada penghulu kami Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. yang memiliki cahaya untuk menghilangkan kelupaan dan limpahkanlah rahmat dan kesejahteraan kepada keluarga dan para sahabatnya."

less than 5 bulan je lg before blk Malaysia!!! sabar ye wahai hati.

dari roomate: tipah, kau perasan tak pagi tadi, roomate aku menangis masa call mak dia? hahah. first time doee. aku ingat dia tough gila. (aku ingat aku sorang je yang jenis crying crying) lolls. kesian dia, dah lah kurang sihat, pastu rindu mamam dia. heeee. :p

 haha..fine la..aku nmpk tough sbb da darah tough kan? kata ade 4 abg, haruslah tough, no crying2 cenggeng mcm ank bongsu yg ade sume kakak tu..n yes, I finally admit I may seem tough, but deep inside my heart only Allah knows how much I miss home! 

Wahai anak-anakku! Pergilah dan intiplah khabar berita mengenai Yusuf dan saudaranya (Bunyamin), dan janganlah kamu berputus asa dari rahmat serta pertolongan Allah. Sesungguhnya tidak berputus asa dari rahmat dan pertolongan Allah itu melainkan kaum yang kafir".-12:87

1.apakah ucapan pertama anda bila bangun pagi?
2.setiap kali ujian datang, siapakah owg pertama anda luahkan dan apa yg diluahkan?
3.anda selalu tak rse puas everytime wt something? puas yg mcm feeling "yes, I've done my bez?"
4.apekah definisi tawakal bg anda?
5.kenapa kte kne salu bersyukur in all circumstances no matter gud or bad?
6.berapa kerap sehari anda merungut/mengeluh sebab hal2 remeh temeh?

sejauh mne kte praktikkan konsep syukur dan tawakal dlm hidup kte?

to what extent we rely only to Allah?

how satisfy we are with our life? hmmm..think for a second.

14:7: Dan (ingatlah juga), tatkala Tuhanmu memaklumkan: "Sesungguhnya jika kamu bersyukur, pasti Kami akan menambah (nikmat) kepadamu, dan jika kamu mengingkari (nikmat-Ku), maka sesungguhnya azab-Ku sangat pedih". bole try bce link ni yg terkesan di hati. budak kecik berjuang utk terus hidup

quoted from kak farah yg dush2 kne kt hati.

~ada yg mengeluh bila terpaksa mkn ayam setiap hari kt Ireland ni, sehinggalah Allah ketemukannya dgn insan yg terpaksa mencuri demi hanya sesuap nasi..~

~ada yg mengeluh bila belum ada pakaian baru utk winter ni, sehinggalah Allah ketemukannya dgn insan yg hanya memiliki sepasang baju sekolah dan memakainya sepanjang minggu..~

~ada yg mengeluh bila terpaksa mengulangkaji dan siapkan assignment... yg byk, sehinggalah Allah ketemukannya dgn insan yang sgt dahagakan ilmu dan sudah lama menantikan peluang utk bersekolah..~

Realiti hidup manusia yang sering mengeluh dan tanpa kita sedari ada insan lain yang lebih menderita. insyaAllah kita sama-sama bantu ringankan beban saudara seislam kita ini.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Tidak akan dikurangi harta dengan sebab bersedekah, Allah tidak menambah keampunan seseorang hamba melainkan seseorang itu ditambahkan dengan kemuliaan. Tidaklah seseorang itu merendah diri kerana mengharapkan keredhaan Allah melainkan akan diangkatkan darjatnya”.(Riwayat Muslim)

Have faith in Allah! Do your best and let Allah do the rest !                                                       

bole try bce link ni syukurkah kita? yg mcm terkesan di hati . quoted from kak far~ada yg mengeluh bila terpaksa mkn ayam setiap hari kt Ireland ni, sehinggalah Allah ketemukannya dgn insan yg terpaksa mencuri demi hanya sesuap nasi..~ ~ada yg mengeluh bila belum ada pakaian baru utk winter ni, sehinggalah Allah ketemukannya dgn insan yg hanya memiliki sepasang baju sekolah dan memakainya sepanjang minggu..~ ~ada yg mengeluh bila terpaksa mengulangkaji dan siapkan assignment... yg byk, sehinggalah Allah ketemukannya dgn insan yang sgt dahagakan ilmu dan sudah lama menantikan peluang utk bersekolah..~ Realiti hidup manusia yang sering mengeluh dan tanpa kita sedari ada insan lain yang lebih menderita. insyaAllah kita sama-sama bantu ringankan beban saudara seislam kita ini.

mood exam!!

fuh..mcm lama gle je x update blog..bajet ade owg bce je..haha..ok2..xd cte sbenanye. .tp juz nk ckp and ingatkan dri sendiri sempena musim exam ni, kdg2 kte dok la berkira psl masa, nk study etc, nk habeskan topic ni topic tu..tp kte kdg2 terlepas pndg basic things in life.. like npe kne study? mcm why i have to learn this all pathways of glycogen metabolism etc.. why, what and how?

somehow these little things la yg kdg2 kte perlu pikir so that kte xde la study semata2 utk exam walaupun hakikat hidup seorang pelajar mcmtu..tp wat I'm trying to say is try to think outside the box..first thing first, betulkan niat in study and every little things we do. because bak kata Prof. Dr Muhaya- Apa yang kita niat akan sampai. Yang kita takut ialah niat tidak kearah redha Allah..

so, the take home msg is that, let us all take a moment to really think back about what we are doing everyday  and not just doing it as a routine but more than that..jom tgk video ni!! =))

Dan jom contohi doa Nabi Sulaiman ni: " Wahai Tuhanku, ilhamkanlah daku supaya tetap bersyukur akan nikmatMu yang Engkau kurniakan kepadaku dan kepada ibu bapaku, dan supaya aku tetap mengerjakan amal soleh yang Engkau redai; dan masukkanlah daku - dengan limpah rahmatMu - dalam kumpulan hamba-hambaMu yang soleh".(27:19)


dan sudah jadi lumrah hidup sebagai student yg nk dkt exam, perasaan takut, inferior, cuak, nervous, gelabah, stress, homesick,  sume tu mule la attack dri..tapi2, jgn risau, Allah sentiasa bersama kita. jadi cmne nk tenang??  

13:28 (yaitu) orang-orang yang beriman dan hati mereka menjadi tenteram dengan mengingat Allah. Ingatlah, hanya dengan mengingat Allah-lah hati menjadi tenteram.

akhir kata, jom sme2 perbaharui niat dan sme2 perbaiki dri..=))

"jauh dimata, dekat dihati. dalam hati bertemu jua. selamat berjaya. perjuangan menguatkan kita dan Allah sentiasa menolongmu. Amin." from abah...=")
