These are the places ....

SubhanAllah! Ya Allah! These are the places I am longing to be. Will I ever be there again?


Makkatul Mukarramah. I remember very well the first sight of Kaabah in front of my own eyes. Tears were running down my cheek. I could not help it. It's the feeling that no words can explain.

I can still remember that moment. Hajj 2003. It was just after solat Isya' at Masjidil Haram when our bus stopped to make way for throngs of muslims returning from performing their Isya' solat. We (ladies member of the group and me) have just arrived at our Hotel room which is overlooking the Masjidil Haram after a long journey from Malaysia, waiting for the bus at the Jeddah aiport and a long bus ride from jeddah to Mekkah.

Ust Hassan (our group leader) has scheduled for us to perform our tawaf and sa'i in the morning. None of us have perform our solat. When looking at the tower of Masjidil Haram, we knew it. We just could not wait for the morning to be in Masjidil Haram. We try to persuade our husband to accompany us to Masjidil Haram. But, since most of us were the first timer, Ust had to give in and brought us to Masjidil Haram that night. It was approximately 10.00 pm Saudi time. That was the moment when I first put my feet into this Holy place. A place that is protected by ALLAH. A place where ALLAH has promised rewards for those who perform solat in it.


What could I say?

ALLAHUAKBAR! SUBHANALLAH! MASYAALLAH!

There were so many peoplein front of Kaabah, everybody with one intention - to find solace, to give our self to the Creator. Ya AZIM.

Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim, may my prayer be answered for I shall again be there .... InsyaAllah.

Wassalam

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
