Hijrah

Salam all,




The Prophet Muhammad SAW and his companions moved from Mecca to Madinah, move for a better living. That is the kind of hijrah that Allah SWT wants from us. And Hakim made a small hijrah to another school. Even though leaving the previous school is hard to come by when he was happily there, but this precious hijrah is for the sake of ummah.

He is now in Pondok Modern Al-''Abaqirah (PMA), a school designed to accommmodate 4 streams of learning: (i) KBSM; (ii) Thurath (Arabic) (iii) Thurath (Jawi); and (iv) Quran. Currently the school resides at Darul Kifayah a complex built by Majlis Agama Islam Wilayah Persekutuan (MAWIP) for the orphans. However, we were informed, it will soon moved to its official location in Putrajaya.

The curriculum is what enticed me. It prepares the student for both worlds: the world that we are currently living in and the eternal world. As a muslim, to seek knowledge is a compulsory. Learning the Quran, the teachings, the legislation is fardh áin. However, not many would have the opportunity or capability to master these knowledge.

PMA attempts to groom the students to master it, Insha Allah, with good intention, it would be materialized. May Allah The Al Mighty assist Hakim and all the students in their mujahadah ílm. The journey is not easy but we will support him through.


The registration was today, the hostel is like any other hostel; 12 students in a dorm on the double decker beds. The juniors and seniors share the room. The registration was officiated by none other, the patron himself, Sohibus Samahah, The Mufti of Wilayah Persekutuan, YB Datuk Dr Zulkifli Al Bakri. In his short speech to the audience, he addressed all the three groups: the teachers (murabbi), the parents and the students.

One quote that really touches my heart is when he mentioned that behind all the successful Muslim scholars ever, there is the sacrifices of the mother. Imam Shafie, Imam Abu Hanifah, Imam Bukhori and Syeikh Yusuf Al Qardhawi - all are the produced of the persistent mothers to see the successful of their children. I was set aback with the statement. How had I performed? Did I provide to their needs? O Allah, please guide me to help guide my children to the righteous path. O Allah, if you are going to take my life, I hope to go as a responsible parent. Forgive me Ya Allah for all my wrongdoings is raising up the children. They are the jewel of my heart. Most importantly, they are the jewels that were given amanah to look after. Not only to ensure their physical needs, what is more important is what their soul needs. It is not only to perform solat and fast but to live life as a good muslim. Allahu Akbar..... Allahu Akbar ... Allahu Akbar ..... forgive me Ya Allah.

 Departing is always the saddest part, even though he has been living in a hostel for his 6th years now, mothers are all alike. For every child that they left behind, or send them off, there will always create an emptiness. A sudden feeling of incomplete. However, our prayers are always with them.

Sohibus Samahah after officiating the program
No mothers with a sound mind would want to see their children suffer. But this is what we call mujahadah. If the children is in mujahadah in their quest to gain the knowledge, parents are in mujahadah to bear with the emptiness. The feeling always make me think about my mother, living alone, quietly in her house. Mak ... my prayers are always for you too. I am sorry that I cannot always be there for you.

Best of luck Hakim in your mujahadah ilmu. I know it is not  an easy path, but, insha Allah you can make it through. Aameen. Insha Allah.
