Alhamdulillah

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.....



First and foremost,


Alhamdulillah!


The Internet connection in Egypt is already back in service. Just had a communication with my colleagues over there :)


The trending in Twitter says that Mubarak announces that he will step down but don't know the validity of that story yet.


Malaysian students are being removed to neighbouring countries and ready to fly back to Malaysia. I'm envious that they are getting months and even one year's worth of holiday. From the emails I've received,Wallahi,I'm envious that they were chosen to experience such situation, just like in Palestine [says them]


Foreigners are getting out from Egypt but Egyptians living outside are coming back to join the reformation.


Praying for the best over there and Hosni Mubarak should really step down, like for real:

go get some rest already

The weather in Malaysia has also improved and the sun is shining brightly. Hopefully, everything's fine in Johor and other states affected by the heavy rain/flood, inshaAllah.


Tomorrow marks my first holiday as an employee. Uberly excited! Got no plans yet but I am so gonna finish reading House Rules  [ter-pending di tgh2 cerita ohh ]


Never forget to extend our prayers for the well-being of everyone out there.

Updates

It has been raining for 3 days already here in Malaysia. In some states there has also been a big flood where the people had to be removed from their respected houses. May Allah help ease their difficulties a bit and may they be patient. Don't play with the water coz you might catch any unwanted diseases  [ ok I don't know whom I'm addressing this to, just a random reminder spoken by the tee-vee]


So, the election in TENANG already saw a winner. Shortly after that, petrol price increased yet another 10cents. That's too little, why not go up to RM1 already? aish2, pity those who suffer due to this increment. I know because I listen. You [yg menaikkan harga] should do a heart-2-heart conversation with the common people who have cars and use it daily. Not every state has LRT's,KTM's and public buses [that is actually visible on the road] so consider that too. Oh wrong emotions injected, I was supposed to 'support' the increment,haha and it has never been something new actually. Patience my fellow friends.


Ok, today's a holiday for KL-ans,wehoo! Can't wait for this coming Thursday and Friday but regardless, I've been out of tasks from Friday due to the conditions in Egypt. Still haven't received any news from my superiors. The Malaysian students have been transferred out from Egypt so alhamdulillah on that part. Hope everyone are safe and sound inshaAllah.




what to say when it rains?




It's 1 February already!

1)  Today is a very cozy day. It has been raining since morning until now. Alhamdulillah, love the rain....and snow =)

2)  The tense in Egypt is still on. I did follow the updates on Jazeera. Inspiring enough while all the chaos was happening, this was never left behind.....

protestors performing Isya'

Really worried about my friends and colleagues over there. Looking at the situation just now, it seems out of control. T_T





3)  Surprisingly, I received an email from the Prime Minister wishing a very happy CNY holiday. I was like  "awkward moment alert!". Are we being spied on?  o_O...wehoooo~~~




Praying the best for everyone out there.

RemindeR

[Narrated by Ibn al Sunni in ‘Amal al-Yaum wa al-Lailah and al-Hakim said it is sahih. (1/499). Al-Albani also said this hadith is sahih (Sahih al-Jami’, 4/201).]

Modesty

"Abdullah ibn Mas'ud relates that one day the Prophet said, 'Be shy of Allah (God) Most High as much as is His due.' The companions present said, 'All praise to Allah, we are shy of Him.' The Prophet said, 'That is not the point. Whoever is shy of Allah as much as is His due, he should protect his head and that which it comprises (i.e. mind, mouth, ears), his stomach and that which is adjoining it (i.e. preserve it from unlawful wealth and protect the private parts from the unlawful), and he should remember death and that which is to come after it; and whoever desires the Hereafter should abandon the adornments of this world. Whoever fulfills these duties has been shy of Allah as much as is His due.'" (Musnad Ahmad)

Today I want to talk a little bit about modesty. Defining the term according to my personal lexicon would akin to moderate/down to earth, humble....orang melayu kata "besederhana"

This word is tough, both in meaning and practice. Easy said than done, easy done than maintaining it.

Just look around us, what do people don't show? qualifications? wealth? social status? assuming that we act, walk,talk, wear something better than others? even the high level of 'knowledge' that we may have as compared to others in whatever significant field. Ok, don't look so far, just look into ourselves..... [let's do some reality check shall we?]

As I recall back some of the people that I can still remember from my past, one thing I could line out from all of them. Their natural feature of being a modest person. Some are too humble even though they score like crazily high in exams, some keep their wealthy family's background a secret, some who wears simple same fashion from the first time I met until the end, the ones who appear rough but actually has a soft hard, the ones who'd buy extra fish at the cafeteria just to feed the stray cats around the mahallah, the ones who'd help out another person even though they are already tied to their schedule........those who have their unique way of portraying that act of kindness.

Personally, people who possess and could portray that feature could really catch my heart. Being modest and humble....it's something that I would love to see in people, to be and hope that everyone could be [to be or not to be, that is the question....shakespeare sikit].  By that, all of us could be a grateful human being for whatever we have and always remember to thank Him....the Possessor and Giver....thank you Allah =)

Let's be humble, be nice to people, be courteous, be grateful and many more of the mahmudah features ^^

Taf tapi bukan mustahil, chayok2 buat kita semua!!!

Inspiration [2]

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Compassionate

A continuation from : HERE

Just wanted to share this inspiring true story for our future reference

A friend of him wrote this in the comment section in his blog:

"I remember the last words uttered just before we last visited the night before he left the uk, 'if we do not meet again in this dunya we may meet in jannah inshallah'

Indeed the news of the death of my dear friend and class mate of 5 years (at Medical school) has brought great sadness yet Also comfort in the hope that inshallah he is now in much better place free from any pain, inshallah.

Having known Mas for the last 5 years studied together, lived together during some part of the final year and thus spent a lot of time together with him. I must confess how great of a person he was. Avery softly spoken person, who never offended anyone through his action or speech.he would always be there to helo and support whenever required. A regular attendee of the local Muslim welfare house and until his recent ill health would regularly make the long and steep journey from his house in Filey street to masjid even all alone in the. Early hours of the morning.

Even during this illness of his when talking to him I remember how strong willed he was always saying how ill health is a blessing from Allah and expiation from sins'and would bring a smoke to people around him who were disheartened by his illness yet never show any discontent or complain about his illness. He had such great trust and faith in the hands of Allah subhanallah....."

Assalamualaikum,

Mas Afzal passed away at 2.24am, 18th December, 2010. His papa, brother Andi, sisters Aiysha n Atiqah,uncle Shahrir n me were with him till he breathed his last. He was intubated and n in an induced coma from about 1pm the day earlier because he was having difficulty breathing n his Blood Pressure was getting very low.

Since he was admitted to the Ampang Hospital on December 2nd, he did not get any good night's sleep. Now, he can rest and wait for me n all of us to join him.

I thank Allah for letting me borrow him for the last 26 years. I am also thankful that Allah has given me n my family the opportunity to take care of him while he was in hospital.

Many of his friends visited him in hospital n he could recognise them all, even during the times when he was in a confused n sometimes delirious state because of the infection he suffered n the pure oxygen he was given.

He told me to make sure to wake him up if any of his friends came to visit. "I want to acknowledge their presence", he said. Actually I was surprised he could recognise all his friends who came despite the fact that he sometimes forgot that he was in hospital. At the end of visiting hours, I would ask him about his friends who came and he would describe to me who those friends are, what they were studying, how they met, what activities they have done together n so on. I could see he loved all his friends a lot.

I would always test him to see his state of mind by asking who I am..."Mama", he would always answer. Afzal did not sleep at all the whole night on Thursday and was either reciting versus from the Quran, performing prayers or doing the zikr throughout the night.I think he was trying to sort things out in his head n said whatever came to mind n since Quran versus were always close to his heart, those versus were among the things he blurted out. I was tired just looking at him but helpless to do anything, other than hold his hand, massage his back n stood by his side n by the graces of Allah, I did not feel sleepy at all throughout that night. By morning he was exhausted and all my efforts to make him stop n rest failed. The last hour before he was intubated, I kept testing him to see if he is still able to recognise me. Three times I asked him who I was. He would stop his blabbering and say "Mama".

N now, part of me is happy for him because he is no longer suffering but a larger part of me is missing him so much. My baby is no longer with me. I am no longer able to take care of him for he is now under a more capable carer.

I will always have the beautiful memories with Afzal, the moments together that only the two of us share...always.....Mama Afzal.

Truly inspiring.....

Selamat menginjak umur 23tahun buat A.K.A kesayangan  [tahun masihi], semoga Allah berkati hidupmu dan ceriakan hari2 gloomy mu di sana......

can't wait for you to come back and bring me presents!  [hahahahahahahaha]

and surely you are dying for your present and 'present',right? :D

you December babies make me feel OLD!! but age is just a number....I'm forever 19 :p

Past

It has been 8 months since I left the title as a student. Precisely 8 months. My last paper was on the 8th of April [3-5Pm] and today it is the 8th of December. A long unnoticeable 8 months. How time flies by so quickly.

Studying had always been the apple of my eye something that seems stressful yet enjoying at the same time. The ambiance you get in different classes with different lecturers and different classmates with 1001 colourful characters are such an awe experience. Sometimes a classroom can be so dull till you literally sleep with your eyes wide open even if it was the first class in the morning and sometimes you just can't wait to go to a class where you find the whole factors [lecturer-subject-classmates] interesting <--unfair right? I know most of you are just like me, teheee :p. Everyday can be different, the mood, the excitement, the whom you meet and what they did that could influence your life  [alahai mcm ayat novel lah pulak]

And now, after 8 long months, tip-toeing a new life as an employee sure feels different. Adapting is something hard and even harder for an introvert like me but I'm very good at playing confident so that would be one of my precious weapon.

Say.....actually I miss....no....I terribly miss the old life back-forwarding more than 8 months ago. That hectic+pressuring+demanding lecturers+ridiculous amount of assignments-PRESENTATIONS+sometimes bored to death classes would be the ones I'd truly want to re-live once again even if it meant only for a week.

See....don't get me wrong here. I don't resent my current life in fact I'm enjoying it day by day but the working force is not the same as the studying phase.

 But, the concept stays: learning new things everyday but work also means applying what I learn so goodbye Shakespeare I don't need you in my new life...haha [sorry literature lovers :D] and also it is still an AMANAH for me to treasure and do things appropriately and dedicatedly, just like when I had to do my assignments, yeahh still the same.


What I want to say is: while you are still in a situation [be it studying-working-young-healthy,etc], try to create nice memories out of it, try to be more appreciative, try to be more grateful, try to make things right before it all becomes a PAST TENSE and leaves you to....well....like what I'm doing.....melancholically blogging about it....huahuahua


p/s: the italicized words are not that valid so don't use it in formal usage okay :p


I can't wait to do my Masters! I hope the time will come very very soon :), inshaAllah, pray for me eyh?! mucho gracias in advance ^^

IKLAN: DIKESEMPATAN INI JUGA SAYA INGIN MENGUCAPKAN TAHNIAH KEPADA RAKAN2 YANG SUDAH SAH bernikah BERGELAR GRADUAN UIA DAN YANG SUDAH MENDAPAT PEKERJAAN, MABRUK KEPADA SEMUA! ^^. Kepada yang belum, jangan sedih2....rezeki Allah ada dimana2,jgn putus mencari dan berdoa kepadaNya...I pray you all the best =)

Doa Khusus Elak Rogol & Cabul : Amalkanlah


FULL ENTRY


رَسُولَ اللَّهِ  يقول من قال بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الذي لَا يَضُرُّ مع اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ في الأرض ولا في السَّمَاءِ وهو السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لم تُصِبْهُ فَجْأَةُ بَلَاءٍ حتى يُصْبِحَ وَمَنْ قَالَهَا حين يُصْبِحُ ثَلَاثُ مَرَّاتٍ لم تُصِبْهُ فَجْأَةُ بَلَاءٍ حتى يُمْسِيَ

DALAM sebutan rumi : BISMILLAH ALLAZI LA YADURRU MA'ASMIHI SYAIUN FIL ARDI WA LA FIS SAMAIE , WAHUWAS SAMI'UL 'ALIM 

Ertinya : Rasulullah s.a.w didengari berkata sesiapa yang berdoa : "Dengan nama Allah yang tiada dimudaratkan sesuatu apapun dengan namaNya samada di bumi dan di langit, dan Dialah maha mendengar dan maha mengetahui" sebanyak 3 kali, maka ia tidak ditimpa kesusahan bala dan musibah sehinggalah subuh esoknya, dan barangsiapa membacanya ketika subuh 3 kali, ia tidak ditimpa kesusahan bala dan musibah sehingga petangnya" ( Riwayat Abu Daud, 4/323 ;   At-Tirmidizi, 5/465 dan Ahmad ; Tirmizi : Hasan - Teks doa berwarna Merah  Syeikh Syuaib ; Hasan)

satu lagi doa sohih yang dibaca oleh isteri Nabi Ibrahim a.s (iaitu Siti Sarah) yang menyebabkan para lelaki zalim termasuk rajanya melarikan diri, saya sertakan sekali sumber rujukannya dari hadis Nabi s.a.w.

اللّهُمَّ اِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ اني آمَنْتُ بِكَ وَبِرَسُولِكَ وَأَحْصَنْتُ فرجي إِلاَّ على زوجي فَلاَ تُسَلِّطْ عَلَىَّ الْكَافِرَ

DALAM SEBUTAN RUMI : ALLAHUMMA IN KUNTA TA'LAMU INNI AAMANTU BIKA, WA BIRASULIKA WA AHSONTU FARJI ILLA 'ALA ZAWJI FALA TUSALLIT 'ALAYYA AL-KAFIR WA AZ-ZALIM

Ertinya : Ya Allah, jika engkau mengetahui bahawa aku beriman kepada Mu dan Rasul Mu, dan aku menjaga kehormatanku hanya untuk suamiku, maka lindungilah aku daripada dikuasai oleh orang-orang kafir dan zalim" ( Riwayat Al-Bukhari, no 2104, 2/722 ; Sunan Al-Baihaqi, 5/97; Musnad ahmad, 2/403 ; Fath Al-Bari, 6/393; Umdat Al-Qari, 12/30 ; Sohih )

Semoga ia dapat dihafaz dan di amalkan oleh semua wanita Muslimah, Cuma jangan lupa bahawa doa ini bersoifat tawassul dengan amal soleh anda, iaitu apabila diikat dengan imannya dengan Allah s.w.t dan RasulNya dan telah dijaga kehormatannya dan sudah tentu auratnya.

Justeru, seolah-olah kemaqbulan doa ini juga diikat tentang kewajiban untuk beriman dengan Allah dan rasulNya dan menutup aurat anda. Tanpanya, doa ini masih amat digalakkan untuk dilakukan, cuma jaminan seolah-olah lebih pasti bagi yang apa yang dikatanya (dalam doa ini) menepati apa yang sebenarnya penampilan fizikal anda.

Justeru, jika berbaju kebaya terbelah, baju sendat menampakkan susuk tubuh, berpakaian nipis seolah telanjang, bersolek canggih seperti artis bukan Islam..sudah tentu doa ini sahaja belum cukup mampu menjaga anda. Bukan kerana Allah s.w.t tidak mampu, tetapi Allah s.w.t tidak anggap wanita itu layak dek kerana kedegilannya sendiri. 

nota tambahan:   lebih elok lagi kalau dapat hafal ayat Qursi dan amalkan sentiasa....khair inshaAllah

Do spread around to your fellow Muslimah family members, friends, etc

Dua Doa

I am sooo happy! Alhamdulillah. A small matter to some but a biggie to me ^^

Just wanna share with you guys two prayers [dua] for today:

Doa mengelak dari menjadi pelupa  [ dear self,please take note]


اللَّهُمَّ زِدْنَا وَلَا تَنْقُصْنَا، وَأَكْرِمْنَا وَلا تُهِنَّا، وَأَعْطِنَا وَلَا تَحْرِمْنَا، وَآثِرْنَا وَلا تُؤْثِرْ عَلَيْنَا، وَأَرْضِنَا

Maksudnya: “Ya Allah, tambahkanlah buat kami jangan Engkau kurangkan, muliakanlah kami jangan dihina, berilah buat kami jangan ditahannya, dan pilihlah kami jangan Engkau biarkan, dan redhailah kami dan redhailah pula semua usaha kami.” (Riwayat Ahmad no. 224)

Amalan: Menurut al-Tirmizi, al-Nasa’i dan al-Hakim, doa ini dibaca oleh Nabi s.a.w. sebaik sahaja selesai menerima wahyu. Oleh sebab itu, kita digalakkan membaca doa ini semasa memperoleh ilmu agar dikurniakan keberkatan apa yang dipelajari menyebabkan semuanya itu terus tersemat dalam minda dan dijauhi penyakit lupa.

Dipetik daripada Zikir, Doa dan Wirid di Tanah Suci, Ustaz Zahazan Mohamed, terbitan Telaga Biru Sdn. Bhd.


and

Doa orang yang mengalami kesulitan:

اللّهُمَّ لاَ سَهْلاً إِلَّا مَا جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلاً وَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الحَزْنَ إِذَا شِئْتَ سَهْلاً

Maksudnya: "Ya Allah, tidak ada kemudahan kecuali apa yang Engkau jadikan mudah. Sedang yang susah bisa Engkau jadikan mudah, Engkau menghendakinya"

[HR Ibnu Hibban dalam kitab Shahihnya no. 2427 (Shahiih Mawaaridizh Zhaam-an II/450 no. 2058), Ibnus Sunni no. 351. Al-Hafizh berkata: "Hadith di atas shahih," dan dinyatakan shahih pula oleh 'Abdul Qadir al-Arna-u...th dalam Takhriij al-Adzk...aar an-Nawawi hal. 187. Lihat juga Silsilah al-Ahaadiits as-Shahiihah no. 2886.]

No matter what situations we are in, never forget to rely on Him,our creator

Selamat beramal ^^
