Do you believe that Quran is the book from Allah?

Assalamualaykum....

Working while listening to video clips from the Youtube is part of my routine. I like to listen to tazkeerah/ reminders. Or at times, I do listen to Quran recitation or music. And today I come across this short video clip of a talk show where a muslim is having a conversation to a reverted Muslim (at that time was a 'to be' reverted).

This was the short conversation that caught me:

Q: Brother, do you believe that Quran is the book of God? the book of Allah?
A: I got the Quran from the library. I read from cover to cover and this is what convince me that this is the true religion.

And the brother, named Chris finally says Syahadah, Alhamdulillah. May Allah bless him with iman and taqwa.

What's interesting is how a non-Muslim able to read the Quran cover-to-cover? What about us muslims? Do we read cover to cover? Some might retaliate, YES! I do read cover-to-cover, at least once a year during Ramdhan. But bear in mind, read and recite have two different meanings. When you read, you understand it. When you recite, you are just doing the parrot reading. Which do you usually do??? Undoubtful why most of the muslim reverts when they reverted to muslim they are the better Muslim than we are. Because? Just because they put the whole of them into understanding the Quran because it is the words of Allah. Allah talks to us through Quran. But we chose to ignore. Na'uzubillah....

O Allah forgive me. Most of the time I read the Quran but I ignore the meaning of each words that I recite. What more to understand and appreciate it. I read it merely to fulfill my muslimly task. But I chose to ignore on being the mukminin and muttaqin, to truly understand the meaning of the Quran.

I am now started into an intense study of the Quran. Wishing to get into a formal class ... I pledge to myself, before the eyes are closed forever, I will try to know and uphold the contetn of the Quran.

Allahu Akbar! Forgive me ya Allah. Ameen.


Wallahu a'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
