Envy - For a good cause

Salam Alaykum

Among one of my morning routines is to watch the morning Islamic show. It could be Reflections, Tanyalah Ustaz or the Madrasah series. And Refelections on TV AlHijrah was among the favourite.

Honestly, I envy the host, Imam Suhaib Webb. Born as a Christian believer he had converted to Islam and became a practicing Muslim and very knowlegeable about Islam unlike myself who is born as a Muslim. He can also understand Arabic (I am not sure if he can speaks Arabic, maybe yes). When he discusses about the verses in Quran, he is able to deliver it beautifully. Easy to understand, easy to grasp. How many of us whom are born Muslim understand what the Quran says? Or do we even bother to understand the meaning of Quran. To understand what Allah SWT is trying to tell us? I feel small, what am i to answer in front of Allah SWT during Mahsyar.

I was once given the opportunity to learn Arabic in school, but i did not take it seriously. At that time, learning is only for exam. As I will not sit for Arabic in the exam, I ignored the Arabic classes. I let the teacher speaks to himself in front not concentrating to what he taught. Now I am ashamed of myself. May Allah forgives me.

Looking at successful Islamic scholars, lets be motivated. Lets find ways to enhance our knowledge. Lets try our best to understand Quran. Lets at least read the translation. Lets begin today. Insha Allah.

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
