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 وَقِنَا عَذَابَ ٱلنَّارِ (١٦)ٱلصَّـٰبِرِينَ وَٱلصَّـٰدِقِينَ وَٱلۡقَـٰنِتِينَ وَٱلۡمُنفِقِينَ وَٱلۡمُسۡتَغۡفِرِينَ بِٱلۡأَسۡحَارِ

Maksudnya:
Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): Mahukah supaya aku khabarkan kepada kamu akan yang lebih baik daripada semuanya itu? Iaitu bagi orang-orang yang bertakwa disediakan di sisi Tuhan mereka beberapa Syurga, yang mengalir di bawahnya sungai-sungai, mereka kekal di dalamnya. Disediakan juga (pasangan-pasangan) isteri-isteri yang suci bersih, serta (beroleh pula) keredaan dari Allah dan (ingatlah), Allah sentiasa Melihat akan hamba-hambaNya. (15)(Iaitu) orang-orang yang berdoa dengan berkata: Wahai Tuhan kami! Sesungguhnya kami telah beriman, oleh itu ampunkanlah dosa-dosa kami dan peliharalah kami dari azab Neraka. (16) (Dan juga) orang-orang yang sabar (dalam menjunjung perintah Allah) dan orang-orang yang benar (perkataan dan hatinya) dan orang-orang yang sentiasa taat (akan perintah Allah) dan orang-orang yang membelanjakan hartanya (pada jalan Allah) dan orang-orang yang beristighfar (memohon ampun) pada waktu sahur. (17)

The verse laid a promise by Allah for His servant that are muttaqin (those who are truly devoted to Allah - bertaqwa). The muttaqin is promised Jannah (heaven) with stream in it and are being accompanied by partners. Who are the muttaqin? The mutaqqin are:
  • those who are patient in performing all the good deeds and ibadah,
  • those who are honest (doing things only because of Allah),
  • those who obeyed all His instruction,
  • those who spent their money for the benefit of Islam and
  • those who consistently seek forgiveness from Allah before dawn.
Do we fit to be in the category? Do we fit to be called muttaqin? A beautiful analogy made by Ustaz Zamri (the host), let's perform a simple activity:

!---------------------------------------X---------------------------------------!
The Hell......... We are here............... The Jannah

In between the two ends, if we perform any one of the following task, allow yourself to move to the right, and if you do not perform the task, move yourself to the left.
a. solat right after the azan (& in jamaah for muslimin)
b. read quran
c. sadaqah
d. tahajjud
e. fast
Now that you have moved yourself, where are you? Which end are you closer to? Is it the 'H' or the "J".
Let's muhasabah!

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
