An-Nisa': 134

Assalamualaikum dear readers, Just to share this piece of verse that I come across today: Maksudnya: ' Sesiapa yang mahukan pahala (balasan) dunia sahaja (maka rugilah ia), kerana di sisi Allah disediakan pahala (balasan) dunia dan akhirat. Dan (ingatlah) Allah sentiasa mendengar, lagi sentiasa melihat.' This short verse from surah an-Nisa' has a very important message for those who only seek happiness for the short life on the world. Those who are full of greed to only fulfill the life desire and forgot to seek reward for the hereafter. To seek reward for the hereafter would men to do what Allah has required us to do and to leave behind those things that Allah has forbid us to do.  How do we know what we must do and what we cannot do? Allah has provided us with a 'life compass' that is the QURAN and SUNNAH Rasul. Allah has promised that those who obey what is inside alQuran and Sunnah will always be the successful servant of Allah in life a

Trengganu - 2 Days 1 Night

Salam all, I think I have some time to mark my holidays 2012 in this blog. We began the school holiday by going to Trengganu (actually to pick-up Kakak after her SPM). We brought Mak Tok (my mother-in-law) together this time. This is going her first outing after Abah left a year ago. It calls for consistent persuasion to get her to come and Atikah's last day at her school made Mak Tok willing to come. We start off early as Atikah will finish her exam at 1030am and we planned to travel upnorth to Kuala Trengganu and stay overnight there.  Our first pit stop after picking Atikah from school is to stop for lunch somewhere near Marang. It's a picnic by the sea and the roadside. The place was designed for travelers and locals to enjoy the South China Sea. Few gazebos were built along the roadside gives a comfortable place to rest. Thank you Makcik Yan (my sister) for the pack lunch. It saves us our money and most importantly is the simple yet delicious home cooked meal. I alwa

Einstein said ....

Salam all, A colleague forward an email to our group mail, a saying from the late Albert Einstein as follows: And together with the email are these photos in attachment:      The people in the photos obviously not Malaysian, BUT ..... it IS hapenning in Malaysia now. And perhaps happening in our own home. Where does the family chatting during meals gone? Where has friendly gestures go? Technology are meant to assist us, but now it seems that technology has created robots in our home. I found some truth in what Einstein had visioned. Wallahua'lam. Let's think!!! Wassalam.

Students

Assalamualaikum all. I am sitting in class. Monitoring students sitting for their 2nd test. Semester is coming to the end. The cycle is completing its loop. Registration - class begins - test 1 - semester break - class resumes - test 2 - study leave - exam - marking - results is out - admin chores - registration. Year in, year out, this is the 'over and over again' life routine that I would have to go through till I reach my retirement day or till my last breath (which ever comes first). Is being a lecturer a boring task? My answer is NO. It may sound so routine, Yes, the schedule is routine but the life experience is very different and exciting. In my years of experience interacting with students, I learn quite a great deal myself. I learn about people, I learn about 'hablul minnan nas' (human interaction and communication). There are various types of students. In general, I would just like to categorize them into two groups. The first group are thevery humble, r

Solat Jenazah

Assalamualaikum dear readers, This morning I had the opportunity to pay a last visit/ tribute to the Allahyarhamah Makcik Puteh who passed away last night approximately at 7.30pm. Makcik Uteh (as we called her) was a very senior citizen who lives with her son in our vicinity (qariah). She was a regular to the surau during her life. She can be seen walking slowly to the surau accompanied by the patience grandson. She will quietly sit on her chair where she perform her solat. During Ramadhan, there is almost like a permanent place for her for solat tarawikh. Despite her weak condition she consistently tries to be at the surau for solat jamaah. She will leave early for Maghrib as movement for her is such a difficult task. However, off-late, she was no longer seen around. The hospital has became her second home until last night when she was called for a transit at ALAM BARZAKH. Alhamdulillah there was quite a number of people performing the solat, to pray and dua' for her. If only

Once in A Year time

Assalamualaikum all, Hari ni rasa macam nak update berita tak penting. But its important for me. Not that important but significant. Hopefully I will not bore dear readers. This afternoon, as I drove back from visiting my student doing her internship, I looked at the fuel meter of the car. The reading measured that the fuel could only drive me for another 67KM. What a big deal, my office is just nearby. However, without hesitation, I stopped just before a petrol station. Why? I checked at the fuel knob. Where is it? I searched for it. Oh! Its there. And I drove into the petrol station stopped at a pump. And re-fuel the car. Guess what??? This is my FIRST TIME refuelling this car after driving it for OVER A YEAR. In normal circumstances, I will get Mr Hubby to do it for me. Well, that's my story for today. THE END. Wassalam.

Good Bye School

Assalamualaikum dear readers, Today 6th December. And Atikah is currently fighting her last battle in SPM. Sitting for Lukisan Kejuruteraan. Last day of SPM for the year 2012. May Allah blessed her. Ibu wish you best of luck. You have one more hour to complete your quest. After 1030am today, it will be a BYE BYE SCHOOL. You are no longer a school girl. You are no longer bounded by schools rules and regulation. Hopefully your 11 years in school have taught you to become a better muslim. You will be entering the next phase in your life. College girl. The days ahead are full of challenges. There will not be teachers or warden to monitor your doings. You are on your own. But IBU will be beside you forever. Good luck dear. May iman will be your guiding companion. For only with iman you will be guided to the righteous path. Not even your 10As in SPM will lead you to jannah for without iman one might be astray. InsyaAllah, ibu belief in you. Ibu have trust in you. However there are a lo

Perjalanan Terakhir Seorang HambaNya

Assalamualaikum all, As I was passing by the surau on my way to send the kids off to Masjid Negeri for their school holiday program, Daurah Islamiah, we stopped to see my husband and other members of the qariah carrying Ridhwan's coffin from the van into the surau. Allahyarham is being brought to the surau for members of the qariah to perform the last ritual on him. To bathe him, kafan and later wish him farewell with dua', solat. It was a sad moment. Every time I see this, it reminds me of the same experience that I had when Bapak was carried on his final journey. I taught the kids the dua' that we recite for the Allahyarhams. Ameen.

Pergi tak Kembali

Assalamualaikum dear readers, I got this text message from my husband this afternoon. It reads ... Salam. Ridhwan Mandalam meninggal dunia di hospital HUKM 3.30pm tadi. Akan kebumi esok pagi di Shah Alam. He was our neighbour. I can clearly see his house from mine. He was 40 years old, down with a nerve problem right after he came back from pilgrimage 2 years ago. During that time, doctors gave him only 3 months to live but he had survived for another 2 years after first diagnosed. And today, he passed away leaving a loving wife and 3 children while one of his son had long waited for him in jannah. The son died of heart problem when he was still a baby. This is a test from Allah to the family, to the wife especially. Allah will not put the wife to test for no reason. For Allah loves her and wanted to place her in a higher level of iman, InsyaAllah. He had endured a great pain for the last two years. He was a regular at the surau when he was healthy. May all his good deeds be r

Huffaz

Assalamualaikum, Apa lagi yang aku fikirkan? Ya Allah! Aku serahkan anakku ke jalanMu. Jalan yang mampu memacunya ke syurga idaman. Aku serahkan segalanya kepadaMu ya Allah. 'Bukan dunia matlamatku. Tetapi akhirat destinasiku.'  Betapa mudah lidah berkalam. Tetapi perlukan seluruh jiwa dan raga untuk ku kotakan. Ijazah tertinggi yang dimiliki tidak mampu memacuku ke syurgaMu. Bahkan tidak sedikit mendekatkan aku ke destinasi impian. Apa lagi yang aku fikirkan? Kuatkan tekad, bulatkan niat. Ya Allah ku serahkan anakku ke jalanMu. Kerana aku yakin, JalanMu itu membawa kebahagiaan dunia dan akhirat. Semoga kau berkati laluan hidup anakku Ya Allah. P/S. Link blog dari adik al-Hafiz ini menyuntik semangatku: Al-Huffaz Wallahua'lam

Syafaat

Asaalamualaikum dear readers, Heard on TV yesterday morning about syafaat. Surah al-Baqarah: verse255 mentioned this: Allah tidak ada Tuhan melainkan Dia Yang Maha Kekal lagi terus menerus mengurus makhlukNya, Tidak mengantuk dan tidak tidur  KepunyaanNya apa yang di langit dan di bumi.  Siapakah yang dapat memberi syafa'at di sisi Allah tanpa izinNya?   Allah mengetahui apa-apa yang di hadapan mereka dan di belakang meraka,  dan mereka tidak mengetahui apa-apa dari ilmu Allah  melainkan apa yang dikehendakiNya.  Kursi Allah meliputi langit dan bumi,  Dan Allah tidak merasa berat memelihara keduanya,  dan Allah Maha Tinggi lagi Maha Besar.  (QS : Al-Baqarah : 255) Syafaat adalah pertolongan. Yang layak memberi syafaat adalah: 1. Para nabi 2. Alim ulamak 3. Syuhada' Di akhirat nanti, Rasulallah SAW dibenarkan membawa bersamanya 70,000 dari kalangan umatnya untuk memasuki syurga tanpa dihisab. Rasullallah seraya memohon pada Tuhan yang P

Double Blow

Assalamualaikum, I have just finished my classes for today. It was a double BLOW today. I felt that my blood shoot up. One blow for each class. The first class was at 10.30am. I entered the class, everybody was busy talking. I plug-in my pendrive, open the powerpoint slides for today's presentation, and they were still talking. I sat quietly at the desk, looked around, and they were still talking until finally one student realized my change of behavior, and signaled her friends to keep quiet. Then only I was be able to start the class. But ... it was interrupted by two people in the last row. Their voices was suddenly increased perhaps the conversation was too exciting. The whole class prompt them to keep quiet. I continued my lecture. When I finally concluded my lecture, the same two at the last row, suddenly looked very puzzled. They quickly tidied up their things, rolled their notebook cables and packed to leave. Argh!!!! They were doing something else in class during lectur

Munafik

Assalamualaikum, Munafik? Ganas bunyi tajuk hari ni. Tetapi, kehidupan realiti memerlukan kita mengenali pelbagai wajah manusia. Dalam bertadabbur al-Quran (dengan keupayaan terhad yang dimiliki) beberapa kali ayat yang menegaskan larangan mengambil orang munafik sebagai rakan ditemui. Twice so far I found the statement. The first prohibition was in al-Imran (118) and found again in an-Nisaa (89). When mentioned more than once, it shows the importance of the statement. Siapakah orang-orang munafiq? Dari website JAKIM Tajuk : Ciri-ciri Orang Munafik Hadith : Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w yang maksudnya: “Ada empat perkara, sesiapa yang melakukannya maka ia adalah seorang munafik tulen. Sesiapa yang melakukan satu daripada empat perkara itu, maka ia mempunyai salah satu daripada sifat munafik, hingga dia meninggalkannya . (Empat sifat itu ialah) apabila dipercayai ia khianat, apabila bercakap ia berdusta, apabila berjanji ia mungkir dan apabila bertengkar ia mengenepikan kebenaran

The Sore Throat

Assalamualaikum all, Alhamdulillah. I am back on my feet again today. Running for errands and house chores as usual and cracking my head with an article at the office. At times, I still felt dizzy but I will quickly take a short rest and to move slowly to encounter the problem. All are because I was on fever for the last two days. It was a bad one. The whole body was aching. The sore throat that I mentioned in my earlier post was not due to too much talking, however it is due to a sign of tonsilitis . What is tonsilitis? It is defined as: "Tonsillitis is an infection and swelling of the tonsils, which are oval-shaped masses of lymph gland tissue located on both sides of the back of the throat." [Source:  http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Tonsilitis ] What is the tonsil for? From the same website it described: "The tonsils normally help to prevent infections. They act like filters to trap bacteria and viruses entering the body through the mouth a

A Visit

Assalamualaikum dear readers, Clock time is 12.50pm. It's lunch break. The throat sores. Not because of any infection but due to too much talking. Alhamdulillah, one task completed on this first day of the week. Entertaining guest from Unisza, Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin, Kuala Trengganu. There were 8 of them from the Department of Multimedia, Faculty of Informatics, UniSZA. They were here to see the facilities that we have in our faculty.   Alhamdulillah, it was a fruitful event. We share ideas and opinions. Thanks to En Yunus and PM Azizah Murad for being there too. PM Azizah as the head of Corporate Unit for the faculty and En Yunus on the technical specification of the Lab. May this short encounter will lead too many more friendship and collaboration. Talking to them made me realized how old I am as they were all very young an energetic (except for the tour leader, En Mohd Attar, I think he is about my age). During the meeting, the Dean pointed out a new and interesting

Shuhrah

Assalamualaikum all, Macam best la pulak dapat update blog tiap-tiap hari. Bila menulis blog ni kadang-kadang ada rasa macam bercakap dengan diri sendiri dan ada kalanya rasa macam berbual dengan orang. Tapi kalau nak tulis pun kena la ada isi yang bermanafaat untuk sesiapa sahaja. Mungkin untuk diri sendiri untuk mengingatkan sesuatu kejadian, percutian (- just any happenings), dan juga ilmu yang bermanafaat. "Diam itu lebih baik dari berkata-kata". There is a truth in this. When you talk less, you make less mistake. However, there are times when you make a mistake just because you keep quiet. Macam mana tu? Konpius tak? Anyway, this got nothing to do with my title up there. Source: Google searched Shuhrah is a term I found while reading Solusi (48). I know it sounded out dated, it was on the shelf a month ago, but I only got the opportunity to read it recently. Shuhrah is not a scientific term. Arabic term perhaps. Even though explanation was given in the magazin

Ludic & Phatic

Assalamualaikum, Ludic & Phatic. What is it? What is in your mind once reading it? Or perhaps you already knew about it unlike me. Someone was discussing about the term ludic and phatic. I suddenly felt so small. I suddenly feels that how little knowledge that I have in this academic world. I realized the importance to be up-to-date with the current trends. But there are too many, too many to catch-up with. Articles downloaded were carried here and there, but the page number remain at 1. To move to another page might take ages. Too many tasks at the office, when at home, too many house chores to be completed. Once everything done, its time to call-off for the day. From the Wikipedia (my instant source of information for general definition) I gathered that LUDIC is the term used to define the playful interface. It was coined in 2008. The term was introduced with the aim of counterbalancing the tendency of "infantilization" of play and stressing the complicities betwe

Do Not Fear, SPM is Near

Image from Google search Assalamualaikum all, Days counted is FIVE. Yes, SPM is only 5 days away. It is just round the corner. Probably we can hear the heart beating very fast in each and everyone who are involved. Who are they that are involve? Students and parents. And teachers, perhaps. I receive a text message from Atikah last night, requesting me to give her a call. And I did. She wanted to tell me that she will not be coming back this weekend (earlier were told that it was compulsory to come back). The hardworking and dedicated teachers are conducting extra classes for the students. It's OK dear it is for the best of the students. This final moments are the most crucial moments. Its not about last minute preparation. It is about last minutes strategies. No last minutes preparation will lead to ultimate success. After a long chat, Atikah suddenly whispered to me, " Ibu, Atikah takut. Atikah tak jumpa dah ibu sebelum exam, doakan Atikah ". Do not worry my d

Meetings & Workshops

Assalamualaikum, Coming into the office Monday morning after a 4 days break, I turned on the computer and logged-into the email system. Something catches my eye from the list, Jemputan KPTN 2013 . I clicked on it, as expected, it is a call for a meeting. Argh! Why must it be during the semester break? I have other plans during this semester break. But now ......., my break is spoilt.

Tuesday : 9am-12noon: Meeting.               Afternoon: Who knows what more is waiting. Wednesday : 9am-5pm: Diploma Exam meeting. Results presentation and verification. Thursday : 9am - 5pm: Workshop. Friday : 9am-5pm: Workshop. I really need A BREAK!!!!! HELP!!!!! Allah Knows Best. And I redha. p/s. Do I still want to work until the age of 60??? Wallahua'lam.

Qurban 1433

Allahu Akbar  Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar La Ilaha illAllaa Wallahu Akbar Allahu Akbar walillahil hamd Assalamualaikum all, How was your Eid? I spent mine in Shah Alam. We did not went back to our hometown. Duty calls for my husband. Eid Adha is about sacrifices. Sacrifices can be in many faces. And this year we sacrificed our desire to go back home to fulfill the neighbourhood responsibility. The place we live, stay and work. Even RasulAllah SAW wanted us to be nice to our neighbours, how can we be nice if we do not know them? How can we know them if we do not join any programmes that will inculcate the love between neighbours? Therefore, here we are. In Shah Alam for the eid. Many showed surprise faces to see us around, but, we have been around for Eidul Adha for many years already. Mr Hubby in action with our sacrifice As usual the Surau will organized the sacrifice event. It is an event that really showed how difficult task can be done in a bliss with a team

Semester 1 2012/2013

Suasana pendaftaran (awal September 2012) Salam all, Now is 30 minutes past midnight. Calendar date is 25th October 2012 and 9 Zulhijjah 1433. The university is again deserted. Many of the students has gone home. Went home for the Eid Adha and also the semester break. Yes, it is already the semester break. It was like yesterday was the registration day and suddenly today is already the mid term. Time really flies. In-Between settling the time table, solving students problem, filling in grants application form, writing proposal and article, preparing for class and others, i did not realize that half semester is already gone. With that, age increases by day. And we are closer to THE DAY. In between our busy schedule how much tine do we spent for ibadah? Which is given higher priority? Ya Allah. Ampunkan kelalaian dan kealpaanku. Jadikknlah aku hambaMu yang kekal dalam beribadat untukMu. Ampunkanlah dosaku dan masukkanlah ke dalam syurgaMu yang telah Engkau janjikan untuk orang-

Bapak - Again.

CAUTION : This is an outdated entry. I found it in my draft box. A recollection of memories with Bapak. Alfatihah untuk Bapak. Dear blog, I was on Emergency Leave yesterday (Monday). My father was attacked again on Saturday - heart attack. It is during our way back to kampung, in my car. The driving felt too slow. I wish we could fly the vehicle to the hospital. Anyway, Alhamdulillah, we are there - and not too late. Abang is already waiting for us at the emergency bay of the Seberang Jaya Hospital. The minute our car stopped, a hospital dresser wheeled a wheel chair to carry bapak to the emergency admission area. We relate what had happened during the journey - nothing happen, just informed him that bapak has taken 4 times the medicine prescribed to him to stop the pain on the chest but to no avail. As he wheeled bapak, I followed Abang. The emergency area was not that big, that only one person is allowed to go in to follow bapak, therefore I waited outside. The situation

Reminder --- Indeed

Assalamualaikum dear readers, Today is 2nd Zulhijjah 1433. Yesterday, came in the mailbox a reminder to us, the fellow muslims about a sunnah that the Prophet suggested to whom are planning to perform sacrifice (qurban) for this coming eid adha. It came in twice from two different colleagues. Thank you. Following this email was another email asking for the authenticity of the hadith. It was a slapped on my face. I have long practiced the sunnah (Alhamdulillah) but never occured to me to know or remember the  *sanad for this hadith which I can readily defend. What a shame!!! I know it is of hadith sahih but I do not know who narrated it, and mentioned by whom. It shows how little knowledge that I have in Islamic knowledge. A PhD by qualification, but what do I have to answer in front the Rabb, Allah SWT? * Sanad is the long list of people who passed down the hadith. It should begin with the person that listened to these words from the Prophet, Rasullah SAW himself and pass

Dua' : Surah al-'Imran

Google searched image Assalamualaikum dear readers, I am sharing with you today, dua' found in surah Al-Imran. Ayat 147 وَمَا كَانَ قَوۡلَهُمۡ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُواْ رَبَّنَا ٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَإِسۡرَافَنَا فِىٓ أَمۡرِنَا وَثَبِّتۡ أَقۡدَامَنَا وَٱنصُرۡنَا عَلَى ٱلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلۡڪَـٰفِرِينَ (١٤٧) Their cry was only that they said: Our Lord! forgive us for our sins and wasted efforts, make our foothold sure, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk. (147) Dan tidaklah ada yang mereka ucapkan (semasa berjuang), selain daripada berdoa dengan berkata: Wahai Tuhan kami! Ampunkanlah dosa-dosa kami dan perbuatan kami yang melampau-lampau dalam urusan kami dan teguhkanlah tapak pendirian kami (dalam perjuangan) dan tolonglah kami mencapai kemenangan terhadap kaum yang kafir. (147) Ayat  173 (Elok juga dijadikan zikir)  ٱلَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمُ ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّ ٱلنَّاسَ قَدۡ جَمَعُواْ لَكُمۡ فَٱخۡشَوۡهُمۡ فَزَادَهُمۡ إِيمَـٰنً۬ا وَقَالُواْ حَسۡبُنَا ٱللَّهُ وَن

A visit to Dungun

Assalamualaikum dear readers, Obligation. Everybody has their obligation to fulfill. To Allah SWT, to the prophet and to mankind. Even to the other living things, there are obligations to fulfill. To animal - do not harm them, feed them if need to. To the plants is to water them and not to destroy them unnecessarily. As one of my obligation to mankind is on my children. And last Sunday we performed a parently task by visiting my eldest who is in Dungun. She claimed that it has been a month since we last met and she misses me a lot, as an act of comfort we went to visit her. We left Shah Alam at about 730am. Stopped by at a restaurant in Bentung and reached Dungun at about 1230pm. She was having a class which suppose to finish at 1230pm but had been extended to 2pm. We waited patiently in the car. I saw a student and requested her to tell my daughter of our arrival. Guess how she responded??? She did not believe it which make her friend dragged her out to see me. She was extremel

Sepsis

Assalamualaikum dear readers, I was browsing through the official email of my workplace (with thousands of members), and suddenly bumped into a mail that announced the demise of a young girl aged 17, a daughter of the Dean for Faculty of Art and Design, UiTM. Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rajiun. The cause of death is declared as SEPSIS. What is sepsis that causes the death of a 17 year old? To kill my curiosity, I quickly seek an answer from Mr Google which provide me with the following information: Sepsis is a condition in which the body is fighting a severe infection that has spread via the bloodstream. If a patient becomes "septic," they will likely have  low blood pressure  leading to poor circulation and lack of perfusion of vital tissues and organs. This condition is termed " shock " and is sometimes referred to as septic shock, when an infection is the cause of shock. This condition can develop either as a result of the body's own defense system or fr

My Herbs Garden

Assalamualaikum all, Great to be writing again, here, today. It is a piece to share my joy and happiness. It brings me to a happiness and piece of mind. Proudly to share with you my HERBS GARDEN. It is only a 7X11 feet by size. But it houses many of my daily needs. Especially when i ran out of vege in stock and too lazy to go to the shop. You can find red chilli (the one captured is green), cili api, mint, basil, daun selom, pucuk beluntas, daun sirih cina (good to lower your BP) and the banana tree (at the moment as a source for the leaves), curry leaves. And currently showering with love is the tumeric and ginger plant. And not to forget the lime tree. The ginger plant is going to grow into large plant so i decided to keep it small by consistently trimming it or removing it if it gets out of control. This is where i will take a seat after weeding.5 minutes every morning before off to work. This where i find happiness to begin a new day with. Enjoy gardening!!!! The Green

It's the sport day!!!!

30 Sept 2012 Its the sport day for the kids. Its the day but the fun begin earlier. Hakim earlier told me that he will take part in two events - lari dlm guni and 4 x 60m. Then left only one - lari dlm guni. We reached the school early before the event begins. Even before we had breakfast. Since the fun has not started, we left for breakfast to come back and see that had just completed his event. SORRY Hakim. But ibu know that you have done the best and there is always next time for a better result. Sabrina who is always very enthusiast showed the excitement even during the preliminary rounds. And yesterday, a day before the actual day, she was at school the whole day to help the teachers with the preparation. She was involved in 4 x 60m, 60m hurdles and marching. She is always very participative and competitive. For both of the events she got the second place. Congratulation!!!! Now, as the event is completing, I still cannot locate my boy!! Where are you Hakim???? Enjoying your

Ujub

This is a ver interesting discussion I heard on the radio while driving Sabrina to the tuition center. It was presented by Ustaz Dr Zahazan on IKIM.FM . It was about UJUB. Ujub is an arabic word. It is an ill-feeling. A person who have this feeling in them will think that they are the best. Below aew some of the points that I managed to scribble when the car stop just before the program ends. Ujub adalah apabila.merasakan dirinya yang paling baik. Dia rasa dia pandai dan tak perlu menambah amal kebajikan dan ilmu. Dia merasakan amalannya adalah yg terbaik, mencukupi dan diterima Allah. Sesungguhnya kita perlu merasakan bahawa segala kebaikan yg ada pada kita adalah kurniaan Allah. Pangkal sikap ujub adalah kejahilan. Kerana jahil dan lupa bahawa segala kebaikan adalah milik Allah dan kita sepatutnya bersyukur kerana dipilih Allah untuk memiliki kelebihan dan kebaikan. Bahaya dgn sikap ini adalah boleh mengakibatkan kesemua amalan kebaikan tidak diterima.oleh Allah kerana amalan

Dari Dia kita datang, kepada Dia kita kembali

Assalamualaikum. Kematian itu pasti. Datangnya tidak pernah diduga. Tuan punya diri, bersediakah kita?? Yang ditinggalkan, redha kah kita? Ketentuan Ilahi indah untuk dihayati. Bagi yang bertaqwa, ujian meningkatkan iman. Bagi yang bersabar, pahala di janji, insyaAllah. 11.9.2012 I received a text message, "Abang Dollah meninggal jam 3 petang tadi". Abang Dollah is my cousin's son-in-law. He was >50. He passed away 1 year 6 months after K.Ju, his wife. K.Ju passed away last year due to a burst cyst. She was 49 then. K.Ju's was a sudden, she was never diagnosed for any medical problem. She was down with fever for three days and passed away on her way to the hospital. An autopsy tells of a cyst that existed that she never got to knew off till her last breath. For Abang Dollah, he was already on medical board for heart problem and diabetes. Now that both are gone, leaving behind are 5 orphans aged between 27 to 18. Sound big enough but these are the ages

Surah al-Imran: 118-119

Assalamualaikum dear readers, It's going to be a slightly different tone for my update today. I am not an asatizah (ustazah) who can debate and discuss about tafseer (the meaning) of the al-quran. I would just like to share some information regarding the tafsser of these verses that I have recently discovered. How often do we read the Quran? I am sure many of you will answer, EVERYDAY. But how many of us really look into the meaning of the verses, not merely reading the translation? I humbly admit that i do read the translation but did not normally dwell into the meaning of it. We need to gain that knowledge preferably through a face-to-face teacher-student interaction. Last night, at the surau, the Ustaz was reciting a verse in surah al_imran: 118. The verse is as follows: The ustaz was emphasizing on NOT having a non-muslim as our aide. It so happen that I recently read these translation and I remembered very well that a translation that follow this verse e
