Don't Give Up On God...

Assalamualaikum, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,
All praise to Him, the one and only God, and salawah upon Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

I fancy to travel, going new places, journey through countless miles, meeting new people, storming outrages experiences and many more. From my journey, I learnt countless new knowledge, either academic or living skills. Besides, by watching people and environment, I also got not only knowledge, but also a reminder, for preventing me from walking the wrong way and remind me why I was given this opportunity, and not any anyone else.

"yep, this world of Yours is truly vast, and the knowledge You pour upon us is beyond comparable."

I would love to meet my old friends in this new world, where we will share our experiences, exchange various story, well, because here and there are different. Some of them fully take the benefit of new experiences to its fully toll, by becoming a better person, but err, some of them are at the edge of the cliff, by plunging themselves to darkness.

I personally think this is one of the challenges living here in this strange world. Nobody will supervise us, remind us to do this and warned us not to do that. Not to pray, drink, party and others are common things happened to those who just came here. We are humans, and tend to forget who we really are. Sadly, I just can't change anything, but to remind not to ensure. The results will always be from Him.

"Whoever ignores My guidance will live a woeful live and will be brought in Our presence blind on the Day of Judgment." (20:124)

Some people will lose their faith to their religious, due to certain hardship, and nobody was there to help them from straying. They forgot that Allah will always be there with those who patience and seeks His help. This is also a reminder for me, as a way of Him to show His kindness, not to let me follow the path of those ignorance. I will pray for the best and hope that this iman will remain strong and solid. Insya-Allah. :)

"Don't give up Him, He will never betray you. His promised is absolute and His plan is the best."

Illaliqa'. Wassalam.

Life is Tough

Assalamualaikum, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

All praise to Allah, the Supreme Ruler of the world, and salawah upon Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

Have you guys experienced hardship, to the point of breakdown? Well, personally, i did. Last two weeks were quite tough for me. So many challenges happened back then. I lost my watch, the one my mom gave me. Then, my computer was broken, the one also from my mom, right before I need to submit an assignment. My iPhone strangely switch off by itself, constantly, which also was given by my mom. And the list goes on.

harith, don't overreating. :P

I don't know why, but everything related to mom, seems to lose, one by one. I hope there's no hidden meaning behind this tragedy. Back then in Malaysia, I used to ask my mom for almost everything. "Mom, I need to upgrade my laptop", "Mom, can I have this and that", and stuff. Here, of course thousand miles away is a barrier. I have to independently sought out for solutions of these life-threatening problems. It feels like the end of the world, when everything went wrong. But, alhamdulillah, I have Allah to watch over me, watch my back, and my future as I walk this path of a strange world.

It's not like I never solve my problems myself before, it's just that, being here, far away from my family reminds me how important their support is. I have to spend in about £900 just for a new laptop, so that I can start to make my report, and hey this is how I updated the blog :). Because of that, I'm at the edge of broke. I need to save up for my spain winter trip. :)

I want to become stronger, independant, and mature in every angle. I want to deepen my knowledge, thinking skill, decision making action and life skill, somewhat cooking skills. :P I want to be useful to the world, not how useful the world is to you. I want to be a part of renaissance of Islam. Because that's what we were promised. We will rise, and win. In shaa Allah.

My very precious friend used to say:

"I want to become rich, so that I need not to beg to anyone else except the God Himself."

I just talked to my mom over the phone. It relieved all this stressed. Sometimes the far away ones are the most comforting in your life. :)

I found this hadith during my sight-seeing in Sheffield last week:

On the authority of Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with both of them, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took hold of my shoulder and said, ‘Be in the world as if you were a stranger or a traveller along the path.” And ibn Umar would say, “If you survive till late afternoon, do not expect [to be alive in] the morning. If you survive till morning, do not expect [to be alive in] the late afternoon. Take from your health before your sickness and your life before you death.”(Recorded in al-Bukhari)

This hadith reminded me of how near the death with us. And we should have appreciate every moment Allah blessed us upon. :)

Sometimes the sweetest apple is at the top of the tree.

Assalamualaikum, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

All praise to Him, the Supreme Ruler of this world, and salawah upon Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)

"Being a Muslim is not only showing others a good example, but also SMILE during the hard time."

I met so many people, from various background and characters. I know few muslims over here, who do not take their religious into their life. It was quite a let down when you are a friend, and yet you can't help them find the meaning of Islam. I tried my best to show the true Islam I brought with my limited knowledge. So far, I'm yet far from my goal which is to help them move closer to the Creator. I argued but I lose to my lack of convincing skill.

I was very depressed. Mixture of sad and anger blend within me.

I went to a performance just now. It was a violin and cello musicians group name Maggini Quartet. The performance was splendid and awesome. During the break between two plays, I met an old man, who told me about Malala Yousafzai. She is a girl who fight for the education for girls in Pakistan. She should get a medal of her bravery and enthusiasm. Being a young girl and fighting for her nation is two different things which hardly find nowadays.

She was shot for her fights and being hospitalized in Birmingham ever since. Let's pray for her recovery.

I've been asking myself, if this is how the Muslim themselves treat their religion, how can the world see Islam as the true religion? Why even the Muslims didn't practice their so-called true way of life? Why did the Muslims shot the girls because her act was against the government policy? How can this religion proven the best for the mankind? How can the west accept Islam as the peace and serenity?

They might have confused and grasped the wrong views and perspectives of Islam if these kind of issues prolong.

For my anguish, I believed I've done the best. The results will always be from Allah. We just need to istiqamah in our effort. Every effort is taken and rewarded. It's upon us, who is willing to take the challenge either to gain credits for His bless and hereafter, or just slip it away. For now, I will continue to enlighten people to the righteous and be awesome. Even Rasulullah (PBUH) smiled during hard times when his preach was rejected thousand years ago. He even prayed for hidayah to be bless upon the non-believers.

Depressed not. He is always watching over you.

I know that I'm not a very pious person myself. But I want to become better, and working my best to increase my iman. I know that I need to practise like the Prophet (PBUH) did to devote himself to Allah. I know it's easier said than done, but again, it's efforts that counts. He will reward you, if not now, in the Jannah later. Insya-Allah. :)

True indeed.

"Believers, if you help God, He will help you and make you steadfast (in your faith)." (47:7)

Sometimes the sweetest apple is at the top of the tree. Not giving up the climb after few obstacles, you will get it. A reward for yourself.

If you know what I mean. :)

Don't give up on your faith

Love comes to those who believe it

That's the way it is

still need to learn more about these new world.

Life Here

Assalamualaikum, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

All praise to Him, the splendid Ruler of the world, and salawah upon Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

I am man, who fancy nothing about cooking, but in order to survive, and saving as well, I try my best to satisfy the needs of my little tummy. Here, at Brunel University, halal food is a rare provision. Burgers and hot dog are the main thing we, the muslims can eat. A few vegetarian foods also are served. I never thought that to find halal food is this hard.

Despite the hardship of getting food on campus, alhamdulillah, I can get the raw ingredients from tesco and halal meat groceries in Uxbridge, a 30-45 minutes journey walk from Brunel. As my lecture schedule is getting pack day by day, I'm unable to go out that frequent. Though i'm not a good cooker, i'm learning, from friends and 'hentam koromo' skills, somehow it worked. :)

I know, i've posted quite a lot of picture, here and there. I know that some people might feel uneasy with me having fun over here. If you are one of them, please ask me to hide it from you, or you can just untick the notification of me on the fb. I don't want to hurt anybody, it's just I want tell my concern family and friends, that I'm doing fine over here, not to promote and boasting my whereabout.

I missed my mom a lot. Somehow, i flashback my time at home back then, when i peaked at praying room in my house, i always saw my mom, in telekung, sujud to Him, for quite a long time. She prayed and prayed for our family's bless, hoping the best for her children. I want to make her proud, I want her to know that, her sacrifice is worthy, and I will be a good and obedient son. Insya-Allah.

"O Allah, for you I left my family, and friends. For you I asked for guidance and protection for them. Please shower your unlimited bless upon these important people of mine, as I love and care them a lot. Surely, indeed you are the Most Powerful and Greatness."

It's rare to hear adhan over here. When I heard one, my heart feel at ease, despite the burden I carried, despite the fun i'm having, but my tears can't stop flowing. Allah, how i miss those moment in Malaysia.

Illaliqa'. Wassalam.

I Am Here, London.

Assalamualaikum, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

All praise to Him, the Supreme Ruler of world, and Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

This is the start of my new journey, where thousands of miles separate us. I come to win, to gain knowledge, to experience what different. I am strong and aim to be stronger.

I still can't believe it, the day they sent me to the airport, which is a few days ago. What suprised me the most is, nobody cried as I leave them, especially me, who will be far far away, thousands of miles from my beloved ones. This is what I've chosen, to be away, to fight for my way.

I still remember, as I descended to the immigration counter, I saw mom, waving at me, her last wave (at least for now), watching me go. I'm hoping to see them again. That time, all joy fled, switched with curiosity and fear. Curiosity about how the people out there, the other side of the world and fear, whether I can survive or not. All I have is Allah, watching over me every second.

brunel brothers and cardiff sisters

Alhamdulillah, I have arrived at London, and trying myself to cope up with the whether, as it is very cold and raining cat and dog. I saw various of places, met a lot of people and learning new things. Though the culture is somewhat way too different than ours in Malaysia, I don't yet sink into the darkness of the west as that is not the reason I came here.

I'm here to fight, for the sake of Allah and His religions. I want to gain knowledge to my heart's content, I need to bring back a scroll of cert, where my mom will be proud of. Also, I want to show the western civilization, what Islam is, though I'm not making any progress yet, but Insya-Allah if Allah help me, I can do it.

the road to london

I need to be strong, I can't halt my improvement here. Although I'm missing them badly, I must go on, and strive for the future. I don't need unnecessary things which can affect me. Heartless and androids shall I be. And friends out there, who share mutual experience as mine, lets do our best for we are the chosen one, to lead the future one day. Insya-Allah.

p/s: it's very hard to endure all this sickness feeling, people invited me to drink and stuff, the kitchen was reek of the smell of tobacco and alcohol, partying until the morning, its way too different, but alhamdulillah so far, I managed to avoid them.

Pray to Allah, remember Him, He will remember you.

missing them a lot. haih, camane la 3 tahun ni. 

Illaliqa'. Wassalam.

pp/s: old feeling, shoo shoo! -,-

Alhamdulillah. Kembali kuat. :)

Assalamualaikum, dengan nama Allah, yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Penyayang,

Segala puji bagi Allah, Tuhan Semesta Alam, dan junjungan buat Nabi Muhammad S.A.W.

Abdullah bin Mas'ud berkata, "Empat perkara yang menggelapkan hati atau melembapkan otak: perut yang terlalu kenyang, berkawan dengan orang yang suka membuat maksiat, tidak insaf atas dosa-dosa yang lalu dan panjang angan-angan."

Allah, aku masih teringat lagi dosa2 yang lalu, dosa yang dilakukan secara sengaja atau tidak, tersentuh tika melihat kata2 ini. Malu, pahit, segan, dengan kurniaan-Mu ya Allah. Begitu banyak ingkaran aku, namun Kau tetap beri nikmat kepada hamba-Mu yang kerdil ini.

Aku kira, Kau murka, dengan perbuatanku. Kau datangkan ujian, Kau turunkan kesedihan, Kau campakkan kehibaan. Namun semuanya demi menarik aku kembali, kembali ke jalan-Mu yang benar. Sungguh, aku tersedak, teringat kata2 punjangga,

"Jalan keimanan itu penuh dengan duri, jalan kesesatan itu penuh dengan nikmat dan syahwat."

Kau datangkan pelbagai medium untuk menegurku. Betapa sayangnya-Kau terhadap diriku yang kerdil ini. Betapa kau mahu aku tidak lari daripada agama-Mu. Aku tersentuh, dengan kasih-Mu, walaupun aku menjerumus ke lembah kehinaan.

Kadang2 aku sedar, kadang2 tidak. Hatiku kata mahu. Imanku kata tidak. Rasionalitiku berbelah bagi. Namun, alhamdulillah. Kau datangkan seseorang untuk menerangkan aku, apa erti semua ini. Hikmahnya hebat, tiada sempadan. Iaitu mengingati Kau, yakni nikmat yang tidak terhingga.

"Dengan mengingati Allah hati akan menjadi tenang. :)"

Sekarang, aku azam untuk bangkit, bangun daripada tidur yang lena. Cukuplah buaian, dodoian dan permainan mimpi yang melazatkan, kerana aku mahu pisahkan, apa itu realiti apa itu khayalan. Insya-Allah semoga dorongan yang ada, akan dibalas dengan kebaikan. Alhamdulillah. :)

Keberkatan & Kemanisan perjuangan hanya untuk mereka yang mampu

bermujahadah dalam kepayahan, berkorban dalam tangisan,

serta rela imannya diuji dalam keperitan

bukan perjuangan namanya tanpa kesulitan,

tetapi dalam kesulitan tercalit ketenangan.

"Ujian, makin lama makin sukar. Hanya mereka yang hebat sahaja yang berjaya meredah perit, getir sesebuah dugaan. Kerana yang ke syurga itu bukan biasa2 hebatnya, tapi superduper osem hebatnya. :)"

Syukran atas segala pertolongan al.

Illaliqa'. Wassalam.

Lemahnya Diriku

Assalamualaikum, dengan nama Allah yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Penyayang,

Segala Puji bagi Allah, Tuhan sekalian alam, dan junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad S.A.W.

terdetik di hatiku, satu angan2 yang indah, dan menggembirakan,

namun, bagiku ianya satu permainan yang sangat perit, dan duka. Allahu rabbi.

T_T

“Sesungguhnya Kami telah menciptakan manusia berada dalam susah payah.” (al-Balad: 4)

Allah, beratnya dugaan kau berikan. Sungguh aku mengaku, aku hampir terleka. T_T

Buaian demi buaian, aku tewas, hanyut dalam permainan perasaan ini.

Aku mengharapkan sesuatu yang tidak pasti. Aku mengharap.

Bergenang air mataku, kerana indahnya mimpi ini, seakan2 realiti.

Hakikatnya, hanya Kau yang Maha Mengetahui.

Aku lemah, kerana membenarkan diriku lemas dalam lautan perasaan.

Mengalir air mataku, dalam solat kepada-Mu. T_T

Aku lupa, ya Allah, tika aku keseorangan, Kau hadir.

Aku lupa, tika aku dihimpit kesusahan, Kau bantuku ya Allah.

Aku menangis, tika Kau uji aku, namun Kau beri kekuatan.

Aku takut! Aku kecut!

Allah, aku takut ya Allah. Aku takut andaiku jauh daripada-Mu. T_T

Aku tidak mahu kehilangan-Mu.

"Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Mohonlah pertolongan (kepada Allah) dengan sabar dan solat. Sungguh,Allah beserta orang-orang yang sabar." [Al-Baqarah: 153]

Bimbinglah aku kembali ya Allah, biarlah aku tempuh jalan ini,

aku yakin Kau setia di sisiku,

Aku mengaku, hampir saja aku gagal ujian ini, ya Allah. ;(

[2:286]

Janganlah Kau beri aku sesuatu yang belum sampai waktunya ya Allah.

Aku masih mentah, immature dengan kasih sayang.

Biarlah aku tiada hati, asalkan ada ilmu peneman diri.

Maluku pada-Mu, kerana cintaku pada-Mu tidak gah, maafkan aku.
Tidak segah para sahabatku yang lain, mencontohi cinta Nabi dan sahabat2 baginda.

Aku mohon diberi kekuatan, untuk mengalahkan khayalan berupa manisan ini.

Untuk hidup, bangkit demi agama-Mu tercinta.

AKU REDHA DENGAN KETENTUAN-MU, WAHAI YA RABBI.

hebatnya kuasa redha. ;)

Moga2 tidak tersalah pilih. 
Leganya menangis dalam ibadahku. ;)

Illaliqa'. Wassalam.

Seistimewa Khadijah, Sesempurna Muhammad S.A.W.

Assalamualaikum, dengan nama Allah, yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Penyayang,

Segala puji bg Allah, Tuhan Sekalian Makhluk, dan junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad S.A.W.

tiba2 teringat satu quote lama, time karnival usrah di sekolah dulu,

TIDAK PERLU SETAMPAN YUSUF, JIKA DIRI TIDAK SETULUS ZULAIKHA,

TIDAK PERLU MENJADI SEPERTI IBRAHIM, JIKA DIRI TIDAK SEKUAT HAJAR DAN SARAH,

TIDAK PERLU DIDAMBA TEMAN SEISTIMEWA KHADIJAH, JIKA DIRI TIDAK SESEMPURNA MUHAMMAD.

awesome quote kan? wow!

akhir2 ni jiwa kacau sikit. maaflah ye. serabut. haih. (-.-")

errr, i think so. kowt. T_T

"ya Allah, aku memohon kekuatan untuk mengharungi dugaan hidup, pahit getir dalam menjadi seorang manusia berguna, dan perlindungan daripada syaitan yang direjam dan nafsu yang memberontak. Sesungguhnya aku hidup tidak lain hanya mengharapkan keredhaan-Mu. Sesungguhnya aku manusia yang lemah."

hati tak tenang. rasa nak menjerit je sekarang ni. arghhhh!

maaf ye rakan2, atas kekhilafan diri ini. Allahu rabbi.

Wallahua'lam. Illaliqa. Wassalam.

Oo Daydreaming Heart, Wake Up!

Assalamualaikum, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

All praise to Allah, the Supreme Ruler of the world, and salawah upon Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

"Love is not about playing it safe, it's about risk." Lana Lang.

During the trip today, on random thought, I came across this ayat in my head,

"Women impure for men impure, and men impure for women impure and women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity are for women of purity: these are not affected by what people say: for them there is forgiveness, and a provision honourable." (24:26)

It's always difficult to keep your heart at length, as it is fragile and easily drenched in mixed feelings and little knows about what can we do to calm down this passion. 

The heart is volatile and will always is.

"Fighting is prescribed for you, and you dislike it. But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you LOVE a thing which is BAD for you. But Allah knows, and you know not." (2:216)

Another ayat emerged me from my sweet dreams, which fall upon to submerged those who let their guard down. If you know what I means.

"O my heart, please ease down those feelings, for thou are near to the God, and He always knows what is best for thou, have faith in Him."

Meanwhile, please concentrate upon what is more important and neglect those might harm you. You need to focus on something else, for the better ummah.

Sincerely, to you,

My pure heart.

"Once you crossed that line, you can't go back." Lana Lang.

forever alone?

go away, useless feeling. heartless mode! shoo! shoo! wahahaha!

ouchhhh...

insya-Allah.

Wallahua'lam. Illaliqa'. Wassalam.

A Hectic Week

Assalamualaikum, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

All praise to Allah, for blessing us this beautiful life, and salawah upon Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

It's been a while since my last post. Ah, cliche tak cliche, sukatilah. hehee~

Actually, i faced a lot of complicated problems during these past few days. Every day for this week, I went to various places to complete my visa application. I gather enough documents, including the long-awaited financial statement from my financial sponsorship for the process. My friends were hectic, and some of the were worried as the date for the registration day at each respective universities is coming nearer, as the visa application has to be put on hold. 

Issue regarding incomplete document needed by the immigration agency is making our head goes in spinning, as the CAS statement, financial statement, ATAS certificate and other documents are yet to be received by some of us. Not to forget, the shocking news of sudden change in our program coordinator without our acknowledgement, making the processing harder, as the inexperienced officer is nowhere near concern.

My advice are, expect less, and remain calm. Don't make yourself really comfortable, but please stay up-to-date to friends discussion and ask around. I remain calm as I knew, this problems were faced by several of my friends, studying abroad, and I believe, there's always a way through. Though many things were happened, alhamdulillah I managed to submit my form, along with the relevant documents. Huge amount of money was invested in paying the process, and I believed Allah will never make it burn to waste. Insya-Allah.

It is less than 3 weeks until our registration date, we hope we managed to arrive on time. Insya-Allah.

"what doesn't kill you make you stronger, so endure it till bitter end."

Now, I'm too lazy to move as every bone in my body is hurting, especially the legs, I will use the remaining time at home to relax and rest, for the coming semester. Insya-Allah I'll start packing my bags once I received the visa. Pray for me please~ :)

Illaliqa'. Wassalam. Have a fun and productive public holiday readers. Chow2... :)

Ramadhan gone, Syawal Came. Aidilfitri 1433H.

Assalamualaikum, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

All praise to Allah, the Ruler of the world, and salawah upon Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

30 days of ramadhan, past without a doubt,

Aidilfitri came to take place, a day of rahmah,

for us Muslims, after such battle, war against lust and desire,

ramadhan is a tarbiyah medium for those who wanted to change,

and be a success for those who managed. :)

There this feeling, recite deep inside my heart,

telling me, "what if this is my last ramadhan?"

chills went down my spine,

and tears began flooding my eyes.

As august speeding itself, for september getting ready,

some voice kept telling me, "this might be the last syawal with your family, enjoy it,"

getting to the fact, that in a month time, I will further my study abroad,

away from my culture, my neighborhood, and my family,

though our bonding is not that strong,

but they are the best family I can pray to born in.

I have to be strong, for the future. Insya-Allah.

Oh hey, I don't mean to create a sad atmosphere, it's a festive season guys, chill out.

Selamat Hari Raya, Maaf Zahir Dan Batin guys. :)

May God ease my future, give strength for me to hold on to the promised jannah. I hope Mara & Brunel can process my application faster and smoother.

Insya-Allah. :)

Illaliqa'. Wassalam.

Hubungan dengan Allah..

Assalamualaikum, dengan nama Allah, yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Penyayang,
Segala puji bagi Allah, Tuhan semesta alam, salawah kepada junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad SAW.

First and foremost, i would like to share a little bit about a motivational talk during my school years. Obviously, bila kita nak exam besar ni, mesti banyak la kan ceramah2 motivasi pihak sekolah adakan, and here is one of them. 

Saya pasti manusia sekarang mempunyai handphone. Daripada budak sekolah rendah hinggalah datuk nenek kat kampung, mesti adalah. Persoalannya, bagi handphone ni la kan, what's the most important thing for it to be function? Keypad? Screen? On-off button? Nah, the line. Yep, line, yang korang dok terjah bila nak call orang tu.

Ok, untuk memastikan phone korang ni berfungsi, line ni mesti la ade kan? so, camane dengan manusia? apa yang penting? Kerjasama? Tettttt!!! Line juga, tapi line apa? line dengan Tuhan yakni bagi kita Allah. Kalau line kita dengan Allah itu clear, baik, smooth dan sewaktu dengannya, insya-Allah semua yang kita buat akan mendapat baraqah dan naungan Ilahi. Bukan senang woo nak dapat line dengan Allah, orang yang terpilih je tau. Tapi, nak tahu tak, Allah ni Maha Penyayang. 

"He who has Allah, has everything."

Moderator tu bertanya kepada student, pernah tak benda yang kita idam2kan, tiba2 terjadi dengan sendirinya. Misalanya perempuan la kan, selalu ingat nak baju raya baru tapi tak ada pitih, then tup2 ayah bawak pergi boutique beli baju raya lip lap tanpa anda minta pun. Well, Allah kan Maha Mendengar, mesti bersyukur gila kan?

Ada juga certain2 time, masa saya di asrama, mengidam gila kat donut Big Apple, tapi tak mengandung la. Saya tak cakap pun kat sapa2 untuk dalam sebulan, tahan tu mengidam tu, then time balik bermalam, jeng jeng jeng, ade 6 donut Big Apple dalam peti ais. Wah, gila magik!

Lagi satu berlaku beberapa hari lepas, time nak cari makanan kat bazar ramadhan. Saya dalam dilema nak beli pulut panggang atau roti jala. Memandangkan pulut panggang tak dijumpai, roti jala je dibedalnya. Then when my mom got home, she brought me pulut panggang, magik sekali lagi! wah!

That's it. The power of the link. Between a servant and Allah. Even the one we don't request verbally, Allah always knew. See how gracious He is. Even we done a lot of mistakes, He is willing to accept us, our repent, our taubah. Allah sangat sweet kan?

"And the servants of (Allah) Most Gracious are those who walk on the earth with humility, and when the ignorant address them, the say, "Peace!"" (25:63)

Salah satu cara, untuk kita mendapatkan Allah's mercy, adalah dengan mengamalkan ayat di atas. Jadilah orang yang humble di muka bumi ini. :)

"Mungkin saja amalnya (orang itu) yang sikit diterima Allah, dan mungkin saja amal kita (diri sendiri) yang berdozen2 tu tidak dipandang Allah."

p/s: dah lama mengidam nak makan nasi lemak utk sahur... alhamdulillah esok mama prepare... :)

Small for Us, Big for Them

Assalamualaikum, in the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,

all praise to Allah, the Supreme Ruler of the world, and Salawah upon Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

I bet some of us didn't even bother to pick up a 10 cent by the road side. Not some, but most of us. However, today I saw one lady, an indian muslim lady, suddenly bend down and pick up a coin at pavement as she walked. That suprised me, as I never thought that coin would valued much. We often see that small coins have small value, in our materialistic eyes. But for them, it is big, large enough to spend some effort, by bending their stiff backbone just to collect some penny. Amazing how different we see the world is it?

The same here for us, sometimes we see the small ibadah is very simple to do, like sadaqah. But if you know how much is the benefit we will gain upon it, masya-Allah, we will never restrict ourselves from doing it. And of course, Allah will see it to the tiniest detail, according to your intentions. :)

We tend to forget what someone had done upon us in the past. Let us race to do good deed, and benefit others. :)

Illaliqa'. Wassalam. :)
