Allah Listens to Our Prayer

This is definitely not my writing. I got this from a wall on facebook: Productive Muslims and found that it is very interesting and enlightening to read and would like to share this to anybody who drop by to my blog. Hopefully, it will be beneficial. Allah (Subhan'o'Ta'ala) does listen to prayers. A young man had been to Wednesday Night Class of Quranic Studies. T he Mualim had shared about listening to Allah and obeying Allah through intuition. The young man couldn't help but wonder, 'Does Allah still speak to people through intuition?' After Lessons, he went out with some friends for coffee and pie and they discussed the message.Several different ones talked about how Allah had led them in different ways and that at the end you'll know it was Allah(SWT) Who has directed you. It was about ten o'clock when the young man started driving home. Sitting in his car, he just began to pray, 'Allah...If you still speak to people, speak to

My Lunch Box

Salam all, Yesterday, I was with two friends, attending the TITAH DIRAJA by Raja Nazrin Shah of Perak. On our way back, we were talking about meals as our stomach started to grumble. One of my friend said, "Why is XXX is so slim?. I answered, 'Because she takes great care of her physical appearance'. That's easy to say, but what does it take to TAKE CARE OF THE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE. It calls for a hard work and endless effort. This lead to another revelation by other friend telling us part of the measures taken by XXX to keep herself fit and slim. According to this friend, XXX will normally bring lunch to office which consist of lots of fruits and probably some wholemeal bread. And XXX seldom take rice in her diet. WOW! That's a healthy one. I like the idea of fruits and bread but I am not sure I can stay away from rice. Rrrrr ...... the ramblings will be louder if I stayed away from rice for more than two days. So today, I made some initiative to prepa

Back from Team Building at Marina Cove, Lumut

Salam All, Alhamdulillah. Reached home from a DAY long trip from Lumut. We left our room, checked-out at 10am and reached home safely at approximately 6.30pm. A LONNNNNG day. Waited for the bus for about one and a half hour. Stopped by at Lumut town for some anchovies and alike, stopped again for lunch, stopped again for Solat, stopped again for dropping passenger, some food and toilet and finally reached home at about 6.30pm. The team building was fun except for the venue that is not so supporting. The place was not so hygiene, the food was not so good and the staff was not friendly at all - barely smile at the guest, perhaps the management should sent them for some class or course on how to entertain the guest. On the bus, I was figuring out the things that I need to do once I reach home. The laundry etc. Entering the house, the smell of the floor cleaner triggers my nostril sending the message to my brain that the floor has been mopped. A peeped into the laundry basket

Mak n Bapak

Salam all, My heart sank when watching the photo of the two beloved persons in this world. MAK & BAPAK. Unnoticingly, my tears was flowing fast down my cheek. These are the two persons who have taken care of me, teach me, brought me up to who I am today. But where are they now? They were lonely couple, stayed home, longing to have kids and grandchildren around. Longing to hear the voices of their children to say 'Hello'. Looking forward for visits from their children and grandchildren. Longing for hugs and kisses from those who they have hugged and kissed before. How often do we fill their lonely hearts? How often do we sang love songs (by saying 'hi') to their ears? How often???????? We busied ourselves with heap of works and make it a reason not to call. We spend our pay to our satisfaction and make 'the cost' the reason for not going back to see them .... Do we deserve to be called the obedient child in Allah's eye? Forgive me mak & bap

Membentuk Manusia Model Luqman Hakim

Salam semua, Tajuk di atas merupakan tajuk ceramah yang disampaikan oleh Ustaz Hasrizal Jamil ( Saifulislam.com ). Sebenarnya, blog ini dikemaskini sambil mendengar ceramah yang disampaikan oleh ustaz Hasrizal. Kuliah tersebut disampaikan di ibu pejabat Ana Edar. Satu perkara menarik yang disampaikan oleh ustaz yang tidak pernah terfikir oleh kedangkalan ilmuku adalah dalam surah Luqman, dinyatakan bahawa Luqman telah menyampaikan nasihat kepada anaknya dengan hikmah. Tetapi tidak dinyatakan di dalam alQuran mahupun hadis samada anaknya berhasil menjadi orang yang beriman dan berguna. Ini disimbolikkan bahawa antara tanggungjawab utama ibubapa adalah memberikan pengajaran kepada anak. Antara tanggungjawab ibubapa adalah memberikan nafkah. Nafkah zahir dan batin. Nafkah zahir dan batin ini pula bolehlah dipecahkan kepada beberapa kategori: FIZIKAL INTELEKTUAL EMOSIONAL SPIRITUAL Menyampaikan nasihat secara berhikmah pula ditafsirkan oleh Sheikh Soleh (menurut U

Bell's Palsy

Salam all, Heard of the title before? I've not. Yesterday was the first time I heard of it. Our dean, is currently admitted to a medical center for the bell's palsy. It is a nerve disorder on one side of your face (the cranial nerve). And Alhamdulillah, it is not permanent. It seems that as one side of the nerve is not functioning it causes a slight drop on the other side of the face. Some might mistakenly thought that it was a stroke. In our dean's case, she was diagnosed to have a viral infection that has infected the nerve. She is currently under treatment and to undergo certain physiotherapy procedures. One of the procedures is to smile widely. So everyone, let's smile, as smile not only will make people happy and a sadaqah for a muslim, but it is alsoas a form of exercise for your facial nerve. Therefore, don't sulk, just smile. Whatever it is, for a muslim we should believe that it is a way for Allah to remind us of HIM and hereafter. And to always r

Anugerah Baru untuk Pelajarku

Salam all, I was quite stunned when I got the news that there's going to be a new reward for students not because their academic excellence but due to their commitment to uphold the dignity of the Malays. And the news was stunning because the award is named after an ordinary politician just because he sponsored the award. My comment to this is -- NO COMMENT [full stop] (because I am speechless). My students, any of you who thinks that you deserve this award, please raise your eye brow!!! Life is fantastic with so many humorous elements in it. So laugh out loud to cheer yourself. Adios....

Al-Fatihah Dr Lo'Lo'

Al-fatihah. Pemergiannya amat dirasakan. Entah mengapa, airmataku pasti meleleh bila menatap fotonya. As a routine, Every night before going to bed, I will read emails from the Yahho Group I joined, ALKIS, last night was not a happy night when I read the news from K.Rosmawati Zainal aka Ummiroses (another lady that I admire dearly) that Dr Lo'Lo' has passed away. She might not know me. But the following personal email from her to me will always be my motivator to keep fighting in a way that I am capable of. How I wish I could be as courageous as she is. My first encounter with her name was during my visit to Pusat Rawatan Islam, Jalan Ipoh, KL. The unique name that she has makes it remain in my memory for a long time. When this bright star began to shine in the political venue fighting for ummah, I feel already close to her, not knowingly that we were brought up in a same institution that we are so proud of - Kolej Islam Kelang. But now, she is gone. May Allah Blessed

Parental Tips

These are the parental survival tips obtained from Dr Harlina's FB. May it benefits all. SURVIVAL TIPS FOR PARENTS : Tip no.1 - Strive to be the best role model to your children. Make them proud of you first before you can expect them to make you proud. How about asking this question to your adolescent kids today : ` Have I ever made you proud, son/daughter?' Reflect on the answer, if you're gonna get one. SURVIVAL TIPS FOR PARENTS : Tip no.2 - Display your commitment, affection and love for each other (as parents & couple) for your children to see. Put on your best smiles the moment you step into the house, no matter how bad things are at work. Make your home as the sanctuary & heaven on earth for the kids. Keep it warm & cozy with your prayers and unconditional love for everyone. SURVIVAL TIPS FOR PARENTS : Tip no. 3 - Avoid degrading or talking bad about your spouse in front of the children. Remember, it is their father/mother you're complaining abo

Limpah Kurnia dari Allah Yang Tersembunyi.

Salam all, Alhamdulillah .... just came back from the surau. The kids and ayah were still shopping there .... (buying some religious books). Among the thing that I wanted to immediately write so that I will not forget is how grateful I should be with the precious TIME given to me. Yes, if compared to others, I am lucky to stay very near to my workplace. It is only about 5 minutes drive from home to office. Why do I said that this is the most precious gift??? Yes, with this kind of distance, I have ample time to still complete some of my chores in the morning before going to the office, such as drying the clothes, preparing for dinner etc. Some people, had to leave for office as early as 6.45am. Those people need to hurriedly do every chores during the night (except those with helpers). What do I do with that extra time???? Yes, I should spend those extra time wisely. With this extra time, I should not have a reason for not going to surau to listen to tazkirah. Yes, my soul nee

My Family Tree

Salam All, It has been ages since I last typed any lines of word here. Well, same lame excuse -- BUSY. I'm sure everybody is busy, but there are people who are very consistently able to update the blog. I salute them. This evening, while browsing through my emails to look for an old email, I came across an e-mail from my cousin bearing the title 'Salasilah Keluarga' - the family tree. I was asked by by cousin to update our family tree especially 'OUR OWN' family, but I dearly forgotten all about it. Sorry, Abang Naser - however, it's done now. What surprises me was to find out who our great ancestors was. I used to listen to the story of 'Tok Johan', the great grandfather of my grandfather, from my grandfather. He was a 'hulubalang' (warrior) of a palace. I guess it's Perlis as my grandfather was from Perlis. What I didn't know is that the great grandfather of Tok Johan was someone called 'RAJA SALANG'. Tok Johan him
