FB, Blog dan Riak

Salam semua, Tajuk di atas adalah dirujuk. Astaghfirullahal adzhim. Aku mulakan dengan memohon keampunan dari Allah SWT, Allah yang Maha Pengasih dan Maha Penyayang. Mohon agar aku diampunkan dari sebarang keterlanjuran dan dipelihara hati ini dari sebarang perasaan riak atau bangga diri. Tajuk di atas merupakan perkara yang benar-benar menganggu fikiranku. Ia menjadikan aku teragak-agak samada ingin meneruskan penulisan pada ruang cyber ini. Ini berikutan dari teguran dari beberapa ustaz agar berhati-hati jika menulis di alam cyber, samada di FB ataupun di blog kerana bimbang apa yang kita tuliskan itu akan menimbulkan ria' dalam hati. Astagfirullahal adzhim. Memang benar, segala amalan itu dinilai bergantung pada niatnya (berdasarkan hadis sahih yang masyhur, hadis pertama dalam Hadis 40). Tetapi, bagaimanakah kemampuan kita menjaga hati agar tetap pada niat yang ikhlas dan tidak merasa aku lebih baik ? Kerana, bilamana ada sekelumit rasa 'aku lebih baik'

Kisah kewafatan Nabi Muhammad SAW

Salam semua, Dipetik sumber dari Youtube. Semoga, sepertimana nabi sayangkan kita, umatnya, begitulah kita juga sayangkan Nabi SAW dengan menghayati dan mengamalkan tinggalannya: al-Quran dan As-Sunnah. Wallahua'lam

AlFatihah - The surah

Salam all, Today, let's us begin our quest to achieve perfection in solat. We will begin with the most important verse in a solah, that is al-Fatihah, the Opening. We recite it 17 times daily. How much do you understand about the surah? بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (١) ٱلۡحَمۡدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلۡعَـٰلَمِينَ (٢) ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ (٣) مَـٰلِكِ يَوۡمِ ٱلدِّينِ (٤) إِيَّاكَ نَعۡبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسۡتَعِينُ (٥) ٱهۡدِنَا ٱلصِّرَٲطَ ٱلۡمُسۡتَقِيمَ (٦) صِرَٲطَ ٱلَّذِينَ أَنۡعَمۡتَ عَلَيۡهِمۡ غَيۡرِ ٱلۡمَغۡضُوبِ عَلَيۡهِمۡ وَلَا ٱلضَّآلِّينَ (٧) Dengan nama Allah, Yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Mengasihani (1) Dengan nama Allah, Yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Mengasihani. (2) Segala puji tertentu bagi Allah, Tuhan yang Memelihara dan Mentadbirkan sekalian alam. (3) Yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Mengasihani. (4) Yang Menguasai pemerintahan hari Pembalasan (hari akhirat). (5) Engkaulah sahaja (Ya Allah) Yang Kami sembah dan kepada Engkaulah sahaja

It's Al-Fatihah Again

Salam all, Twice today we received the emails bearing the title ' Al-Fatihah ', it came from two different persons as a condolences for two members of the faculty for the demise of their beloved family members. Looking back at the emails listing, there were more than 5 emails of such title of late. Al-Fatihah , may each soul will be placed amongst the solihin . New life was brought to world with smile on the faces of the loved ones. At the same time, new soul was brought back to his Creator without delays as written and promised. As mentioned in the lyric of Ahmed Bukhatir's song, 'Last Breath', everybody cries as the body was laid to the soil not knowing that the soul of the dead cried the most. Especially if we were brought back to the Creator with a flawed records. Listening to the song shivers my body and mind. What is it that I will bring back to see the Creator who has given me so much???? What do I have with me???? One ustaz (Ustaz Zainul Abidin f

Kawan Oh! Kawan

Salam all, Can you see the photo below? Can you read it? So sorry if you cant. I do not know how to make it bigger. It's a screen capture of a conversation on the FB (I'm sure that is obvious). It was a conversation between 4 friends who are currently thousand miles apart. Friends liLah are meant to be forever. Friends are whom you share your feelings with. Your happiness, your sorrow. Friends will always lend their ears and shoulders for you to shed their tears. Friends would be those that would jump to joy for your happiness and success. Friends should be those who never tires of giving. Friends are those who will always be there for you. Most importantly, friends should be the one who are able to bring you closer to your Rabb, Allah swt. We have not been 'talking' to each other for months. When suddenly everybody appears on this cyberspace, the friendship becomes so lively. Old times are always the beautiful memories. Good friends never retain the stai

A tug-of-war between two departments

Salam all, Few ridicules the research done on educational technology from a computing department. They claim that education is the job of educational department. True enough, people from the education department is also looking at the use of technology in education. Whose job is it to dwell into technology and education actually? Why must labeling others with 'none computing', 'a waste of computational knowledge' and alike? What good will it brings to you? Research is an endeavour to seek a betterment in life no matter in what area you are working in. It may call for a marriage among few different fields. An educationist may be excellent at learning theory but lacking in the algorithm, systems architecture, interaction technology etc. A computer scientist is good at programming and coding but are at lost when talking about behaviorisme, cognitivisme and constructivisme or pedagogy? What is a game without a programming and graphics? What is an educational game w

Istimewa buat Hamba yang Bertaqwa

Salam all, As usual early morning is the busiest moment before leaving to office. And normally, at this time I will turn on the TV so that I could listen to the programme 'Tanyalah Ustaz" and "Adik dan Al-Quran". Even though the programme "Adik dan Al-Quran was meant for kids, but it also beneficial for us adult. The presentation is so simple and the brief airing time (less than 30 minutes) really able to trigger my short term memory (which make me want to listen to it) which later pass the info to the long term memory. And now, it all depends on me how I want to execute the knowledge. It was the reciting of Surah Al-i-Imran (15-17): ۞ قُلۡ أَؤُنَبِّئُكُم بِخَيۡرٍ۬ مِّن ذَٲلِڪُمۡ‌ۚ لِلَّذِينَ ٱتَّقَوۡاْ عِندَ رَبِّهِمۡ جَنَّـٰتٌ۬ تَجۡرِى مِن تَحۡتِهَا ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ خَـٰلِدِينَ فِيهَا وَأَزۡوَٲجٌ۬ مُّطَهَّرَةٌ۬ وَرِضۡوَٲنٌ۬ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ‌ۗ وَٱللَّهُ بَصِيرُۢ بِٱلۡعِبَادِ (١٥) ٱلَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَآ ءَامَنَّا فَٱغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا

Last Breath - Ahmed Bukhatir (With Lyrics)

The lyric will touch your heart, and for us to be prepared for the Day to come as we do not know WHEN it will be .... The Last Breath = the lyrics From those around I hear a Cry, Oh God! Oh God! My eyes are blind … From those around I hear a Cry, A muffled sob, a Hopeless sigh, I hear their footsteps leaving slow, And then I know my soul must Fly! A chilly wind begins to blow, Within my soul, from Head to Toe, And then, Last Breath escapes my lips, It's Time to leave. And I must Go! So, it is True (But it's too Late) They said: Each soul has its Given Date, When it must leave its body's core, And meet with its Eternal Fate. Oh mark the words that I do say, Who knows? Tomorrow could be your Day, At last, it comes to Heaven or Hell Decide which now, Do NOT delay! Come on my brothers let us pray Decide which now, Do NOT delay! … Oh God! Oh God! I cannot see! My eyes are Blind! Am I still Me Or has my soul been led astray, And forced to

Pemergian itu dirasai anak-anakku

Salam semua, This morning, I hurried to my children's school. The date today is 13th January, 16th will be the starting of the food service program. I have to make the payment before my kids begin enjoying the food. Reaching the school, I saw the pupils in the prayer hall (surau), I thought they were almost finish performing their dhuha prayer. I hurriedly walk towards the canteen, as I pass by the surau I can clearly see that they were reciting surah Yassin not performing the solat. I completed my transaction at the canteen and hurried back to my car. In the afternoon, I met Anum, just returning from fetching her children from school (the same school) my kids went to). She signalled me to come closer to her car. As I reached near her car, she told me that one of the kids teacher passed away this morning. Now, it answers why the children were reciting Yassin this morning. It seems that the teacher teaches both my children. She taught them Akhlak. Reaching home, the kids

Back To School 2012

Salam all, Yes, it's back to school for the year 2012. Today, 4th January 2012, its officially the ending of the PSP, PS2, TV wacthing, facebooking, computer game playing season for my kids. With the ending of those seasons, I hope to see some declining in the electricity bills which rose to RM500++ during the school holidays. Back to school also means its muscle building for ibu again as there's plenty of scrubbing to be done on the school uniform. On top of that, ibu got to start being creative again to think of what to prepare for the kids meal box to bring to school. This also means that extra attention need to be put on the kids study. With the unofficial domestic helper back to the hostel, it's left only ibu to do all the house chores. Thanks dear Kakak for being a great helper, even though sometimes there's aome scolding and blabbering that you had to bear with. Everything is for your own good ... to educate. Kakak, As this is your final schooling year,
