Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Batin

Salam 28th Ramadan, Another day to go. The final round! Go! Go! Go! Have you completed your 30 juzuk of alQuran? Have you stayed-up at night for munajat ilAllah? One final night .... let's do it. Tomorrow is Monday, follows by Tuesday, which is 1st Syawal. It's a day when we celebrate the winning of our fight against one nafs. We are able to be patient not only from eating and drinking, but also, we are also more patient with other insan .... and also, the winning of oneself to perform ibadah ilAllah. Let's celebrate this eid with lots and lots of takbir and tahmid. May our eid will be blessed by Allah. Do not waste all our good effort during Ramadan to be a better Muslim. Allahu Akbar! Alhamdulillah! La ilaha illallah! Come Tuesday, we will listen many good wishes of 'Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir & Batin'. And with smiling faces, people will shake each others hand. But lets do it proper: When you want to shake hands among muslims (ma

Jangan tinggal Daku, Ramadan.

Salam all, Selamat Hari Raya!!! A google image search found me with thousands of images of Selamat hari Raya. But I chose the one below: Wah! Wah! Wah! Dah tak sabar ke nak sambut raya??? Ada dua malam untuk bertarawikh lagi tau ..... Ini peluang terakhir nak pulun tahun ni. Tahun depan belum tentu ketemu lagi. Sebenarnya, mood raya semenjak usia meningkat ni, sudah tidak semeriah dulu. Sebaliknya, Ramadan yang semakin hampir ke penghujung ini menggamit rasa pilu di hati. Mengenangkannya, air mata ini pasti mengalir ke pipi. Andai ini Ramadan terakhirku, Adakah telah diterima taubatku? Andai ini Ramadan terakhirku, Adakah telah diampuni dosa-dosaku? Andai ini Ramadan terakhirku, Adakah telah menjadi insan bertaqwa? Andai ini Ramadan terakhirku, Adakah aku telah bersama mereka yang tidak akan dijamah seksaan api nerakaMU? Andai ini Ramadan terakhirku, Adakah telah sempurna penghambaanku padaMu? Andai ini Ramadan terakhirku, Adakah telah cukup bekalan untuk dibawa

Iftar 26 Ramadhan

Salam semua, Ya, betul! Hari ni dah pun hari ke26 kita berpuasa. Kalau nak hitung bilangan puasa yang berbaki, guna sebelah tangan pun dah cukup. Maksudnya, malam ni adalah malam 27. Atau orang Melayu selalu panggil Malam 7 Likur . Tapi aku tak pernah dengar pun sebelum ni pasal malam 7 likur ni, hanya setelah bergelar orang ' KL ' (ni pun kalau orang jati KL terima masuk suku) nilah baru aku kenal 'Malam 7 Likur'. Entah apa kelebihan malam ni untuk orang Melayu, aku pun tak pasti. Tapi yang aku selalu nampak adalah rumah-rumah dah mula bermandikan cahaya. Tak cukup cahaya letrik, cahaya minyak tanah pun ada. Fikir 2X, membazir pun ada. Semoga kita ni taklah tergolong dalam golongan orang yang membazir sebab membazir tu sahabat syaitan. Nauuzubillah . Penat puasa, solat, ngaji Quran sepanjang Ramadan, tiba2 hujung Ramadan bersahabat pulak dengan syaitan. Mesti syaitan yang masih bergari tu dah mula nak senyum sebab ada orang dah nak mula bersahabat dengannya. Nauu

Syaitan Kena Rantai

Salam All, Today is 25th Ramadhan. I am already on leave. Not because too excited to celebrate the Eid but just to lessen the number of leaves that I still have since this year end I would be busy with the semester and would not have time to take leaves. Secondly, I took leave just to spend more time with my daughter who has safely reached home from Dungun yesterday afternoon. 'Syaitan kena rantai' ... the syaitans (devils) were chained, no syaitan during this Ramadhan, etc. ... these are some of the verses that we normally hear people were saying every Ramadhan. In actual fact, there is a hadith from Rasulallah SAW on this matter: Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "When the month of ramadan comes, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of the (Hell) Fire are closed, and the devils are chained." -Sahih Bukhari If the devils were chained, why are there still people who commit sin? Why are we still (at times) lazy to perform iba

Bersama selebriti (s)

Salam 22nd Ramadhanl, Alhamdulillah. I felt very fortunate to be in a same event with celebrities in few different occasions during last week and last weekend. Wednesday, Saturday and Friday. The face that we normally see on TV screen can now be seen with our bare eyes! How I admire them, how I envy them (for a good reason heh!). At a younger age than me, they are able to attract the focus of many ears and eyes with the gift from Allah, the voice. Even though there are no rhythm that comes along, but the words uttered are more important than the rhythm. Those are beautiful words to the ears, the food for the soul. Those are the words of tazkirah. Alhamdulillah in our quest to obtain the best of the last 10 days of Ramadhan, our surau has invited many ustaz(s) for the food for the soul. Among them were Ust Zahazan, Ust Zamri Mantop and Ust Nizam Abd Kadir, to top up the list, we also have Ust Haslin, Ust Ahmad Awang, Ust Ahmad Dasuki, Ust Wan Adam and many others to name it. A

T.O.D.A.Y

Salam all, I felt gloomy today. Gloomy Friday. I was devastated. I felt as though the world has fallen apart. Everything shambles onto me. I cried the whole morning. I cancelled my appointment with my student. I can't let her see my red ayes. But lifes like that. There are days when we are full with laughter and there are days when we are down into tears. I have not felt this way for so long. Beginning Ramadhan, my heart easily touches. I easily broke into tears. But this morning it was not drop of tears, its a downfall. What can I do to make things better? Reading alQuran will definitely help, but I chose to pick-up the phone and call the number belongs to someone whom undoubtedly loves me with all the heart. Husband? No, husband's love is never comparable to this love. Husband's love cannot be guaranteed forever (but I pray to Allah that my husband will love me forever --- but again, what guarantees this??). The LOVE that I meant on this world is MY MOTHER

Ramadhan Lagi

Salam semua, Nak cerita sikit pasal Ramdhan lagi. Yelah, selagi tak habis Ramadhan. Dah berpuluh-puluh tahun hidup, dah berpuluh tahun jumpa Ramadhan, ada je perkara yang kita selalu abaikan pasal Ramadhan ni. Bulan Ramadhan ni selau kita dengar sebagai 'Madrasah Ramadhan'. Madrasah ni maksudnya tempat memperbaiki diri. Tapi aku terbaca satu blog tu, dia sebut Ramadhan sebagai 'Hospital Ramadhan', mula-mula tertanya juga kenapa hospital ye? Tapi ok la jugak sebab hospital tu tempat orang sakit nak menyembuhkan penyakit, dan kita ni pun selama ni sememangnya sakit terutamanya dengan berbagai-bagai penyakit hati, jadi, masukla ke dalam Hospital Ramadhan, dapat ubat dan semuga akan sembuh penyakit tersebut. Tapi di hospital, pesakit hanya duduk sahaja, orang lain yang ubatkan, sedangkan di madrasah, pelajar tersebut yang perlu menuntut ilmu dan berusaha --- itulah yang dituntut, untuk kita berusaha memperbaiki kelemahan diri. Apa-apapun, mungkin aku tersilap faham apa ya

Resipi Ringkas Anak Soleh

Salam 16 Ramadhan, Esok dah pun nuzul Quran. Dah berapa banyak agaknya helain al-Quran yang kita tatapi, hayati dan renungi? Bulan di mana semua orang alim berlumba melakukan ibadah, hendaknya kita masih turut sama dalam perlumbaan ini. Ada yang sinis mengatakan bahawa Lailatul qadr telah berlalu apabila melihat surau dan masjid sudah mula kosong, kita bersangka baik sajalah sesama manusia. Pasti ada keuzuran yang hanya makhluk dan Penciptanya yang mengetahui. Pagi tadi sebelum ke pejabat, sempat juga aku mendengar rancangan kegemaran pagiku, "Tanyalah Ustaz Edisi Ramadhan" di TV9 yang dibawa secara 'live' dari Masjid Negeri di Shah Alam. Ustaz pada hari ini adalah Ust Roslan Mohammad, dari UM. Tajuk yang dibincangkan adalah "Yang Tua Dikasihi, Yang Muda Didekati". Hari ini merupakan hari kedua tajuk ini dibahaskan. Semalam aku hanya sempat mendengar sebahagian saja, sebahagian lagi aku pula yang ditonton --- ala, biasa la kan, tertidur depan TV. Mac

Doa Setelah Berbuka Puasa

Salam all, "Dah berapa hari berbuka puasa?" Lain sikit bentuk soalan dari selalu. Biasanya orang tanya, "Dah berapa hari berpuasa". Macam mana pun tak apa, yang penting kita bahagia dan tak menyalahi hukum syarak dan undang-undang. "Dah 14 hari dah berbuka ....", mungkin itu jawapan sebahagian dari kita. Sebahagian lagi pula mungkin belum cukup 14 hari terutamanya yang perempuan la. Apa-apapun, hari ni aku terasa nak kongsi doa selepas berbuka puasa. Tak pe lah kan .... walaupun baru hari ni nak kongsi doa yang sunnah diamalkan setelah berbuka puasa ...... kata orang, "Biar lambat asal selamat". Tapi dalam konteks ni, kita tukar sikit, "Biar lambat asal belum terlambat untuk beramal". Amacam? Ok tak? Terpanggil untuk kongsi ni pun setelah dua orang Ustaz mengingatkan berkali-kali sepanjang Ramadhan ini. Hadith yang menganjurkan doa ini merupakan hadith hassan dan sepatutnya menjadi amalan kita semua. Lazimnya, kita hany

Puasa - Hak Prerogatif Allah

Salam All, If you read Solusi Ed.34, on the first page you will find a section for Hadis Qudsi. For this month, the Hadis Qudsi reads as follows: Daripada Abu Hurairah r.a, Rasulallah s.a.w bersabda: " Allah berfirman: "Setiap amalan manusia itu untuknya kecuali puasa. Ia untuk-Ku dan Aku yang memberi ganjarannya "". (Riwayat al-Bukhari dan Muslim) The last religious class that we had with Ustaz Firdaus, he explained the hadith further. According to ustaz, there are some arguments amongst the ulama' over this hadith. It is because, literally, all ibadah are rewarded by Allah and only He knows how and how much the reward would be. Therefore, what makes it different with AS-Saum, fast? And finally, jumhur ulama' (jumhur means the group of renowned ulama') agrees that what makes fast or as-saum different is because it is an ibadah that no other people would know whether you are dong it or not, and only Allah knows. This is very different w

Cuti Semester

Salam all, Hari ni hari ke-sebelas berpuasa. Sekejap betul masa berlalu. Kalau lepas 15 puasa, lagilah cepat terasa masa berlalu. Sudah lebih baikkah kita pada tahun ini berbanding tahun yang lalu???? Hmmm ..... puasa? Apa kena mengena dengan tajuk Cuti semester???? Yang kena mengena adalah pada cepatnya masa berlalu . Sekarang ini adalah cuti pengajian semester bagi Ijazah Sarjana Muda, Sarjana dan Kedoktoran. Tetapi bagi pelajar lepasan SPM yang lain yang mengikuti Sijil, Asasi, Matrikulasi ataupun Diploma, sekarang adalah masa kuliah. Bagi cikgu2 (pensyarah tapi dah rasa macam cikgu), yang megnajar Diploma, seharian berulang alik ke kuliah. Dan ada yang bertanya, "Kalau cuti semester, pensyarah kena kerja ke?", "Pensyarah buat apa masa tu, kan budak2 tak ada?" dan lain-lain soalan yang sewaktu dengannya. Alangkah bestnya kalau boleh cuti. Tapi itu bukan hakikatnya, para pensyarah kena bekerja. Semasa mula-mula diumumkan perubahan tarikh kuliah bag

Abortion - Miscarriage

Salam semua, 'Abortion' - : defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionay as the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus: It is something that every expecting mothers are afraid of. Mothers will always try to do their best to ensure that the baby in their womb is healthy. Whatever good food recommended by the doctors will be sought for. Whatever supplements that are claimed good for baby will be consumed by mothers. The dos and don'ts will be followed closely. That is how mothers try as much as possible to make sure that the baby is healthy. This is exceptional for those who do not want the baby - Na'uzubillah. Whoever had gone through this period will understand the feeling, the loss, especially if the baby is long awaited baby. I myself had three miscarriages after waiting for more than four years for my second baby. The feeling was heartsick, heartbroken, mournful, sorrowful or a

Akulah Anak, Akulah Ibu

Salam all, Baru selesai menonton segmen 'Bersama Dato' Fadilah Kamsah - Menyelam Sanubari'. Topik perbincangan adalah 'Anak Derhaka'. Ya Allah! Aku mohon padaMu mudah2an aku tidak termasuk dalam golongan anak yang derhaka, dan aku juga tidak menjadikan anak-anakku sebagai anak derhaka. Bersama Dato' adalah Imam Muda Ashraf dan seorang anak gadis yang telah berubah dan menghargai ibunya walaupun dia sendiri belum mendapat hidayah untuk berhijrah menjadi muslimah solehah dari segi perwatakan dan pemakaian. Biarpun begitu, anak gadis tersebut begitu menyayangi ibunya. Semoga Allah berikan beliau hidayah kerana kebaikannya terhadap ibunya. Menurut Dato' Fadzilah Kamsah juga, menurut ulamak, walau setitik susu ibu sekalipun, tidak mungkin dapat dibalas oleh anak, Subhanallah. Doa ibu itu tiada hijabnya --- bila dikenangkan kembali segala detik kejayaan, aku yakin, kurniaan Allah terhadapku ini adalah jua kerana doa MAK, terima kasih mak. Aku tidak

Hakim's Visit to the Doctor for Abscess (Bisul)

Salam all, Waiting for a medical specialist is always trying out my patient. This was our second visit to see the doctor for his abscess. 2 hours is the minimum. But the quality of service is normally worth the waiting. Some may wonders, two visits just for abscess (bisul)??? Ala .... masa kita kecik2 dulu pun selalu gak kena bisul, tak pernah pun jumpa pakar? Paranoid ke apa maknya ni? .... I felt ridiculous too, to see the medical specialist just for an abscess. But, .... with knowledge that you know about medical, with more explanation that you receive from a doctor, the more worrying you become. When I asked the general practioner, "How serious can it be, if I just let it (the abscess) heal by itself? She said, the blood my get infectious and it will lead to a more serious health situation. That is the reason why I agreeingly took him to see the medical specialist. Besar sangat ke bisulnya tu? Biasa la, kena bisul .... nanti baik sendiri je. Dulu-dulu kat kampu

Marhaban Ya Ramadhan

Ramadhan Kareem is here again. O Allah! Thank you for blessing me with another Ramadhan. And I really hope that this is going to be a better Ramadhan for me, for I shall never know if there is going to be another Ramadhan for me again. Alhamdulillah, Ramadhan is here again. And Alhamdulillah the kids were also happy to welcome Ramadhan. They even look forward to going to the surau for the solat tarawikh (for whatever reason it could be, but I thanked you Allah, for their tiny hearts are close to the blessed place - the madrasah/ surau etc.) There are many books and magazines discussing about how best we can spent the days in Ramadhan. Solusi , 34th edition also gave a checklist for ibadat that we should perform. And here is what I gathered from a book I was reading, Ramadhan Tiba Lagi by Wan Mohd NohWan Hamat and Rusnah Abu Samah, published by Yamani Angle Sdn Bhd, 2010, Kuala Lumpur. (Ha Ha, sorry for the long decsription of the book .... being an academician and a researc
