Qariah Kecil

Salam all,

It was a beautiful Sunday 22 April 2012. Everybody rises early. Hakim and Ayah were off to surau. The female species at home were busy with own task. Ibu was busy preparing breakfast and packing food for Sabrina. Sabrina was getting ready to school. Feeling nervous, I guess.

As early as 7am, we were already at the school compound. I kissed Sabrina as a good luck wish and dropped her off. I headed back home, getting ready to begin the house chores.

At 10.30am, we are already geared up to support Sabrina at SRA Kota Damansara. Alhamdulillah, with the intellectual mind that Allah has bestowed upon being, the GPS was created. With the help of the GPS, we managed to find the location of the school without any problem. There was a large crowd. Getting a parking place is almost a NO. We resort to only Ibu and Hakim going down to support Sabrina while ayah will make his round for parking. A guide finally landed us to a classroom where Sabrina was there, waiting anxiously. Her turn is next. We were there just in the nick of time.

"Seterusnya kita menjemput peserta yang mendapat undian ke 15 untuk menyampaikan bacaan Surah Al-An'am ayat 1 hingga 10", the announcement came.

I prayed for Sabrina, though there was some doubt after watching the earlier contestant. But Sabrina was not to be blamed, as her teacher told her not to concentrate on taranum. Taranum is the art of reciting the quranic verses in a beautiful rhythmic sound. I was about to coach her on taranum (the basic taranum that I know off) but was brushed off when the teacher told not to.

I pitied Sabrina for that because the rest of the contestant presented with a beautiful taranum. However, it was a good and bravery try for Sabrina. Ibu is very proud of her for her bravery and fighting spirit.

Eight minutes ended with the second bell rang. To my listening, her tajweed is correct only lack in taranum.

Ibu left after her performance, leaving her with her friends and teachers to wait for the closing ceremony which will only begin after the zuhr prayer.

Evening, at almost 5.30pm, came a call from her, indicating that she has arrived at school and wants ibu to pick her up. Her statement, "Jangan tanya apa-apa", concludes the guessing game.


Dont be sad dear! I am proud of you for who you are. Winning or losing is always a blessing. Allah knows what is best for us and given us the best that we could hope for.

wallahua'lam.

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
