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 any other words that show the sadness of the mother. I am still melancholic over the loss. However, I believe, Allah knows better. Allah knows what is best and what is not for me. And HE has given me the very best of all. I am fated to have only 3 kids. Anyway, .... it was more than 10 years ago. So, why brought it up today?????? Because .... I have a good news for those who had miscarriage before.

Last Thursday, in a religious class conducted by Ustaz Firdaus, he mentioned about MISCARRIAGE and handling it. There are several ways handling the fetus:
1. If the fetus is less than 40 days, we need only to wash the fetus, wrap it and bury it at any convenient place.
2. If the fetus is more than 40 days, we need to bathe it according to Islam, perform solat for the fetus, say dua', named it and later bury at an Islamic burial area.

When reciting dua', the dua should be meant for the parents not the child as we normally did to the deceased. This is because the child is already clean, and free from sin. Jannah is already promised for the baby. However, the dua' is for the parents who patiently accept this faith.

And according to Ustaz, based on a Hadis Qudsi, for parents who have had miscarriages disregard of the duration of the pregrnancy (2 weeks, 4 weeks etc.), Allah will ask the Malaikat to build a house for the parents in Jannah and named the house as 'Baitul Hamd' whenever the parents say Alhamdulillah and accept the faith.

This is really a good news to me, and I hope for everybody else too. Allah Ar-Rahman, the Most Merciful, for every single deeds that we do, be it small, the reward is huge. Only by saying Alhamdulillah to his small test, we were rewarded with a house in Jannah. Let's work our way to Jannah. InsyaAllah.

Wassalam. Ramdhan Kareem.

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
