Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

It has been so long since my last post. Too long actually. It’s study week. And everyone is so busy studying. But I don’t know why, the enthusiasm to write suddenly rushed into me. Well, I’ll consider this as an exercise for my English paper. I just want to share some stories.

Story 1

Yesterday (it was Saturday) , I went to campus to accompany my friend to find her purse that was missed placed. Then, we just stayed back to do some revision. It was just two of us and other seniors of us from 4^th year and dental students.

So before we went back, we decided to perform Zohor prayer. It was just two of us in the surau.  Oh, I forgot to tell that, the seniors of us had their Hadiths class on that day. So, after they had finished their class, they went to surau to perform their prayers too. My friend and I had already performed our prayers when they came to surau.

Our surau are provided with flip-flops for ambulation. So there were pairs of flip-flops scattered in front of the door plus our ‘trendy’ flip-flops. (we share the same entrance to the surau and my friend and I had the same type of flips). So a conversion happened between the seniors in a loud voice,

Senior 1: lipar ni letok sini jugok ko?

Senior 2: ko ado tino sini?

Senior 3: tino paka lipar gini?! Buruk gilo. Lipar aku come lagi.

Did you understand? Let me translate it,

Senior 1: are these slippers are put here too ?(referring to ours)

Senior 2: or there is any girl here? (suspecting that flips belong to girls who are praying behind the curtain. He can’t see us.)

Senior 3: girl wearing such slippers? It is extremely ugly. Mine is cuter.

I was like, ‘what? How dare you insult my foot wear (I don’t know what kind it is actually)’. But guys, you must understand, for us, girls, we like those kind of flips because it is comfortable. Anyway, he made me smile all day actually. Just if he sees my friend and I wearing those foot wear in campus. And I don’t think that guy will read my blog my by the way. Haha..

the gorgeous flip. please don't say that you agree with my seniors!

Story 2

Last few days, my friends and I rented a taxi. What caught our attention was the driver himself. He was a doctor. A phd holder in chemistry from overseas.

 So, at the beginning, from the way he speak, I had already suspected he was not an ordinary person. Suddenly he lend me his business card, stated on that card a title doctor in front of his name, followed by ‘phd, chemistry’. He told us that he has insomnia since he was 13. The longest period he can awake is four days. He said that, maybe this is why he can study until phd for nine years with scholarship.

He has his own company, where he works during day hour while  at night, he will drive taxi that was belong to his late father. I think he is a workaholic.

Story 3

This story is not really a story that really recently happened. It is just a continuous story that reappears. During, our matriculation level there is a guy, who told us that the girls were practicing assabiyah (a term used for people who like to be in their own group only without wanting to mingle with others). Maybe he was referring to our seats in the lecture hall.

I know he has good intention that, he wants us to mingle with others so that the one which is more pious can spread the da’wah to others. But there is something that boys don’t understand about girls. Something that even sometimes I also don’t understand. Scientists believe that the blame should be given to the fluctuation in the hormone. XD.

I believe that girls are made to be attached to person that they trust and comfortable with. That’s why we can see that, they are more attaching to their family and even more loyal to their partner. It’s a bless actually.

But still, he got point, we must not attach ourselves to anything. We should just attach to Allah. Read the first chapter of ‘Reclaim Your Heart’ by Yasmin Mogahed. Being attach to people who are temporary will always break our heart. That's why we need to be just attach to Allah who is eternal. Thus, we must dare to change, if that will bring goodness for Islam.

Ibrah (lessons)

Well, I don’t know whether my writing will made any sense on you, readers or not, but for myself I think, sometimes man are just form Mars, and woman from Venus. There are always many things that we are not agree to each other. The key for us to live in harmony is to understand each other.( I’m referring to story 1 and 3) Ok?!

And never underestimate people even he is taxi driver. 

 I know my english has deteriorated lately.  =(
Btw, please pray for my success!

two drops and two marks

15 Ramadan 1433


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
Assalamualaikum


 my mind took too long to generate any idea to post anything in this blog. and always sitting in front of the lappy blogwalking and facebooking. trying to induce my mind to think. so, i just wanna share a hadith told by an imam last night during the teraweeh prayer.

'There is nothing more beloved to Allah than two drops and two marks: A tear shed due to fear of Allah, and a drop of blood spilled in the path of Allah. And as for the two marks, then a mark caused in the path of Allah, and a mark caused by fulfilling one of the duties made obligatory by Allah..

Hasan - collected by at-Tirmidhi and al-Mishkat (3837).

readers,
shedding tears is not a sissy thing to do. our noble Prophet, Muhammad s.a.w , who is the best of all creation, would weep as would all his Sahaabah. Tears are a genuine expression of fear of Allah's Punishment and our sincere love and awe of Him, The Almighty. But how often do we remember Allah in seclusion and are moved to tears? how often we count the blessing? have we ever feel shame of asking again, again and again from Allah, that when we raise our hands we can just cry ? How much do we laugh and how little do we weep?

our brothers in sisters in other Islamic country (Syria, Myanmar, Palestine, Somalia etc)
are suffering right now
they are all the time in fear
when we in Malaysia concern about when to stop eating? on Imsak or before adzan Suboh?
there, they doubt either their fast are accepted without suhoor and iftar?
again count the blessing dear!

think about it dear brothers and sisters!
we still have 14 nights before Ramadan leave us
let's wake up and send them dua'a
let's appreciate every second in this Ramadan
let's be stronger and tougher this Ramadan
take the opportunity to wake up early for suhoor
and make at least two rakaah of prayer
especially for those who are currently on holiday
we might never have this leisure time again for the next few years or maybe for the rest of our life :(


let's muhasabah

i'm simply stupid

Bismillahhirrahmanirrahim
Assalamualaikum

the day i came back from a shopping mall, one question suddenly crossed my mind. can i say i'm not clever?  "aku dah usaha dan nie je yg aku mampu" oh, please! if we really had tried our best, then it's ok. but what if we didn't? how can we be very sure that we really had done our best?

we always complain about our life. sometimes we complain we have so many assignments but weirdly have enough time to watch Korean dramas. sometimes we complain we don't understand the lectures but not willingly to study on our own. sometimes we complain we have bad memories but we frequently eat junk foods. sometimes we complain we feel so far from Allah but we don't make efforts to approach Allah by increasing our ibadah. and so many more.

so, in that case, can we just redha and simply blame on takdir (read: fate)? NO! we must try our best in everything we do.  indeed i believe we actually commit sins by not trying our best. many people say after they got bad results in their exam that it's just Allah wants to test them. yes! it's true. but is Allah just testing us for nothing? no, to increase our level of taqwa. however we shouldn't repeat the same mistakes. "today is better than yesterday" should be our tagline. improvement is a must,  
“Truly, God does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in 


themselves.” (Quran 13:11) 




"menguasai bukan sekadar mengetahui" this is actually the gist of this post. we should try anything that will help us in achieving what we want. anything as long as it is permitted by Allah. learn from the best. this is a solution to bring Islam to the top again. most of us nowadays just knowing but not mastering in what we learn. that's the problem on why we still cannot repeat the Islam's golden age. 

http://flic.kr/p/bi6qpn i recalled back a talk given by  PROF Madya Dr Harlina Halizah Siraj  , that she said we should make our result as a benchmark to evaluate our relationship with Allah. and i think it is not wrong. especially to those who hold the title of dai'e. stop being a fitnah to Islam. don't make our works in spreading Allah's love as the reason for our failure. indeed we should be an example for our mad'u.

above all, when something had happened it is what Allah had planed for us. but before that we must try our best...

Wallahua'lam.

Tazkiyatun Nafsi

Bismillahhirrahmanirrahim

last two weeks, to be exact on 21st and 22nd of June 2012, i took part in Tazkiyatun Nafsi Camp at my former school as a facilitator. one day before that my ustazah called, asking me to come to school for an emergency meeting. i was very shocked because i supposed to go to school on 21st in the morning. :) . after stuffing my bag with clothes, towel and etc , i went to school after maghrib; not to disappoint the ustazah. but that night was a meeting with the form four school prefects only. to my surprise,,, this is not an usual camp. huhuhu... there was no handout at all and we were supposed to plan activities for the LDK (latihan dalam kumpulan) . even i was a naqibah tak bertauliah   when i was in that school, i don't really know on how to handle a program . we were like plunge midwives (don't really know the exact words -_- ; read: bidan terjun)  Fuh!!! (sambil lap peluh


i learned that this camp was for the 'selected' ones. that made me thought a lot on how to win their hearts. btw, be clarified that it was not a Juvenile Camp. it was a camp for those who want to purify their hearts. who want to be a better person. which soon i learned that they are not what like others think. they just wanted to be a bit naughty. they wanted to make the class more happening. they wanted to stay with their friends. enjoy their life. they wanted to discover the world. and they also have high curiosity. to try this and that. so don't be so judgemental!


fyi, this camp was in collaboration with Masjid Telipot which i thought was a brilliant idea. to 'imarah'kan masjid. don't you think it was a good idea? why not... i could see that the jemaah were really excited to receive us. that night we were served with laksa and some side delicacies. because nowadays teenagers are not really 'friendly' to the masjid. so, we marched to Masjid Telipot twice, in the evening of 21st June and in the morning after qiamullail on 22nd June. it was like calling the villagers to join us. because we were wearing telekong while marching, some asked "nak gi mana dik?" (read: where are you going, sis?)


so, because of lack of experiences and other technical problem the first LDK was cancelled and the second LDK was changed to Dhuha's prayer. thus, we just needed to handle the third LDK (act it was not really conducted in groups -_-)  ... LDK 3...we showed the audience with 
       
                                                                    Hot Scandal

                                                                               and




                                 
                                                                            Cafe Cinta

and Alhamdulillah, the audience were attracted to these two videos.... :) (senyum sampai ke telinga)


the last LDK was 'Tasmik Bacaan Solat' which we thought to be conducted by ustaz and ustazah...and again i had to become bidan terjun one more time. i was like "hey! why me?!" and i was speechless. Ya Allah! i'm not good enough in this. btw i'd tried my best. May Allah forgives me for all my mistakes and weakness. seriously i was really afraid and nervous. so, please check the links and videos below...may these help us in improving our solah...

that's all.
Wallahua'lam
salam nisfu sya'ban...
antara malam doa dikabulkan Allah!

How to wake up easily?

Bismillahhirrahmanirrahim
referring to the title.
i'm going to list down some of the ways and method that i use.
sometime it worked out and sometime didn't
but all these are based on my observations and readings

1. don't eat
~don't eat before sleeping. eating before sleeping will make us lazy and comfortable to that condition. and also will weaken our brains.

2. intention
~before sleeping tell ourselves "tomorrow i want to wake up at 4 a.m" and also plan on what you want to do the time you wake up

3. 3 qul
~this is sunnah. recite the 3 quls, blow to our palms and then rub our palms through our bodies.

4. sleep before 12
~my friend told me that if we don't sleep from 11 pm to 1 am we'll need more time to recover our energy

5. read
~read anything before sleep. because when we sleep our short term memory will be send to our long term memory. so, this will increase the retention of what we learn.

6. get out of the comfort zone
~switch on the light (if possible don't sleep in  a room with totally dark)
~switch off the fan  (some fans have timer application)

7.drink
~drink a lot of water. this will make us want to piss in the morning.  want it or not we have to wake up and release the urine  to the toilet bowl.  don't hold it because it can cause the building of kidney stones. :)

8. take bath
~with coooooool water  (don't be like goat)


9. alarm
~always change the ringtone of the alarm. and set it with something that u don't like to hear. like sound of cackled woman

so that u'll be fresher  :)

Wallahua'lam

Secret Results

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim
no this is not another cake house
it's about the results
alhamdulillah, last week the result for Tamhidi's students had been revealed
so, again alhamdulillah i managed to fulfill the requirement to be accepted to MBBS USIM
 that's mean..insyaAllah i'll will further my studies in Pandan Indah, Ampang.
please pray for me and my friend to eventually become a Mu'min and Mu'minat Doctors.

this post actually is a respond to Result written by my friend, Humaira Mahpa.
what was written by her also reflected my perception
i rarely concealed my results
whenever people asked i just say it

but,
this time i was trying to conceal it because something happened when i was in sem 1
there is one of my friends
she...was mad at me (i thought so la...)
because we were supposed to do our assignment that night but i requested to postpone it to the weekend
but she told me that she wanted to space the weekend to do revision for the quizzes, and she also said that it's okay for me (to do the assignment on weekend instead of revision)  because i'm clever.

ok. that statement made me thought.
what actually made her thought so?!
because i'm not
i'm just average
(ok, i admit that i am so blessed. that SOMETIMES i got quite good result.)
and so i jumped into a conclusion that is because i didn't conceal mine
and i know there are many more persons that are better than me

but,
it can't be hidden
i just can't hide it
when people asked me
i didn't want to  let them down
i just told them
and sometimes i felt guilty for hiding somethings from my best friends
(sigh)

when it spreaded i'm afraid that "riya'" will appear in my "seketul darah" (reads:hearts)

i've some friends which their results are really confidential
which until the end we don't know how much she got and
tuptup (reads: suddenly) she's in the dean's list
btw i respect their principle of lifes
for this kind of persons,
i believe they didn't want tell others because they were afraid of "riya'"

for me
most of the times
i would like to know my friends results
because
first, i can know i'm on which level
second, i know who is/are good in certain subject so that i know who i can consult
third, i want to help my friends who are less bright

but it can be a benchmark on how much we know

in a nutshell
just do what we believe are right
we can never satisfy everyone
for me, "hiding" is not a really good style because it cannot bring up the spirit to compete to each other which eventually will affect our society.
 

Wallahua'lam
