My parents are going for Umrah Ramadhan


Salam.

My parents are going to perform Umrah? Subhanallah ....

Terkejut dan terkedu mendengarkan berita tersebut. Why? To some people, what's wrong with that? It's good. Spending money for something good. Why felt unhappy or worried? The fact is, my mother is 65 (well ... nothing wrong), and my father is 7 years older which makes him 72 years old! The fact is, my father was admitted to ICU for 12 days last May 2008. The fact is doctors were not giving us any hope that he might be with us again. That was what worried me ....

I pray to ALLAH to protect my parents in their journey to be in front of the holy Kaabah again. To give their soul to YOU, Ya ALLAH for I know that it is not proper for us, the children to stop them from going because we dearly know that it is what they wanted to do the most. They've been there countless time, the last was in 2000, a year before I perform my Hajj. They inspired my husband and me to perform our Hajj the following year.

On hearing the news, my tears started to flow, i just cannot help it. Suddenly, I felt that I will not be able to see them again after this. Ya ALLAH, ampuni lah hambaMu ini kerana merasa sedemikian.

Mak, Bapak .... pengorbanan kalian terlalu besar. Kasih sayang kalian tidak ternilai. Apa lah pengorbanan kami jika dibandingkan apa yang telah engkau lakukan untuk kami.

Mak adalah tempat aku meluahkan segala isi hati. Mak adalah tempat aku melepaskan kerungsingan. Sehingga kini, after being married for more than 10 years, I still turn to Mak when I'm depressed. Upon hearing her ever cheerful voice, my sadness is gone.

Bapak, kami membesar tanpa kehadiran bapa setiap hari kerana panggilan tugas yang memerlukannya berjauhan dari anak-anak tersayang demi membesarkan kami. Namun, kami amat merasai kasih sayangnya. Teringat kembali ketika 'berkampung' di luar ICU Seberang Jaya, titik-titik jernih kelihatan mengalir membasahi pipi kami, anak2mu. Abang dan Din tidak terkecuali. Air mata lelaki .... Kami berasa belum bersedia untuk berpisah dengan bapa. Tapi kami redha, detik itu pasti tiba. Mungkinkah anakmu yang akan meninggalkanmu?

wallahua'lam.

Asrama K.Ngah at MITST Alam Impian

Assalamualaikum. Asrama? Biasalah. Ramai yang pergi asrama. Nothing exciting about asrama. When I was a child, I used to read the story books. Series of them. We have the Famous Five, Secret Seven, Hardy Boys, Nancy Drew, and one of my favorite is the Malory Towers. Malory Towers tells a story about life in a boarding school. It is also a reason for me wanted to go to a hostel. It motivates me. I always thought that all hostels are as envisioned by the writer. Luxury place to stay with lots of friends around. Full of activities and adventure. But...well.... story books are mostly fictitious. It was written to draw readers into purchasing it. My hostel was far worst that what I imagined. But there is where I grew up - my teenage life. Sending K.Ngah aka. Sabrina to her hostel last Sunday, brought back the Malory Towers into me. The dorm was luxurios. Single bedded. Six in a room. Large closet. Plenty of storage space (drawers attached to the bottom of the bed). And a study

Antara Anyer dan Jakarta

"Antara Anyer dan Jakarta" was a title of a song sang by Sheila Majid back in 80s. I tried to find the meaning of "Anyer" using the Google translate but to no avail. What about the song? Nothing. It's just because I just came back from Jakarta for a conference trip cum SHOPPING trip. I was accompanied by Suzana Ahmad and Norizan. Day 1: ====== Our journey began on 12th December. At approximately 5am, the driver reached my house. Izan is already there, in a short while Suzana arrived. We headed to KLIA. The check-in was a winding queue. After checking-in it leaves us with barely enough time for fajr prayer. At 9am, the tree stooges sat foot on the Indonesia land. We make a quick visit to the money changer and proceed for a cab. We have planned for the trip carefully and agreed to travel light as we will not be checking-in to the hotel upon arrival as the checking in time is only at 3pm. Instead, we headed towards our first destination, TANAH ABANG. It is r

Doa ketika ternampak orang sakit dan mohon terhindar darinya.

Assalamualaikum, Ahad malam Isnin. Malam yang sedih sayu. Biasanya hari Ahad, adalah hari ziarah anak-anak atau hari menghantar anak-anak balik ke asrama. Upon doing that, when entering the home, I can feel the emptiness. The quiet house, no greetings, no laughters. And due to that, I will make my way to the surau, to gather bits of pearl of knowledge. "O Allah, forgive me if the reason for my being in Your masjid is wrong Forgive me, Ya Allah. But truthfully, its too quiet at home, and to me, being in the masjid is more meaningful rather than locked in the empty house alone. Forgive me Ya Allah." And tonight, it was Ustaz Firdaus. Sharing on Feqah. And one thing that I really think fruitful to share is this piece of doa.  ‘Alhamdulillah hillazi aafani mim mabtalaka bihi wa fadhalaani ala kaseerim mimman khalaqa tafdheela.” The Prophet said: “If somebody recites this dua while he saw someone else in some fatigue or tensions, he would not be involved in t
