Tahun Ketiga Di Luar Negara?

Assalamualaikum,

Tahun pertama di oversea, aku mengkritik perbezaan budaya antara Eropah dan Malaysia. Dengan harapan negara sendiri menjadi lebih baik.

Tahun kedua di oversea, aku fokus untuk mengambil iktibar daripada apa yang aku lihat di Eropah. Dengan harapan supaya aku menjadi lebih baik.

Tahun ketiga di oversea?

Apakah yang akan aku bawa pulang. Selain scroll master's degree? Pengalaman? Ilmu?

Tahun ini sesungguhnya lebih lain. Ramai rakan2 yang pulang terlebih dahulu. Rasa sedikit sedih & sepi. Itulah lumrah. Datang dan pergi.

Bila aku tahu masa semakin sempit, aku buntu.

Insya-Allah semuanya berlaku demi kebaikan. kematangan.

Have faith.

Doakan. Mohon doa.

Illaliqa'. Wassalam.

Assalamualaikum, dengan nama Allah yang Maha Pemurah Maha Penyayang,

Segala puji bagi Allah, Tuhan Sekalian Alam, dan selawat buat junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad SAW.

Gaza diserang lagi. Berita yang cukup sedih di bulan ramadhan ini.

Nyawa demi nyawa terkorban. Dek bedilan bom peluru serangan Israel.

Sangat sedih melihat mayat2 palestinian yang jatuh gugur tidak kira kecil ataupun dewasa.

Yang cukup menyedihkan, perhatian kita dialihkan dengan perlawanan bola.

Tak terkecuali aku juga, alpa dengan pergolakan yang berlaku.

Sayu hati ini pabila terbaca berita demi berita. Perihal pengorbanan rakyat yang tidak berdosa.

Apakah mereka yang menggugurkan serangan itu tiada sifat perikemanusian. 

Menyerang mereka yang tidak dapat membalas, menyiat2 mereka seperti binatang.

Bukan itu saja, kanak2 ditangkap dan dipukul tanpa sebab.

Akhirnya sama ada mati diseksa atau dicampak ke dalam penjara.

Allahu,

Aku keliru, aku menangis, siapa yang mahu membela nasib mereka ini?

Dimanakah pemimpin2 negara Islam, yang mengelilingi dua negara kecil ini?

Diam, diam seribu bahasa, adakah kerana alasan ramadhan?

Aku buntu, apakah yang mahu kujawab di hadapan Yang Maha Kuasa?

Adakah hanya menaip di papan komputer dengan kipas dingin di dalam bilik dengan selesa?

Aku doakan semoga pejuang2 di sana beroleh kemenangan yang dicari.

Aku doakan semoga yang terkorban itu ditempatkan di syurga harum para mujahid.

Aku yakin Allah itu Maha Mengetahui, tahu apa yang tidak aku tahu.

Aku yakin Allah itu bersamamu, bersama kemenangan yang dijanjikan.

Aku sentiasa bersamamu Palestin.

Teruskan perjuanganmu.

Perasaan Carca Merba

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

Segala puji bagi Allah, Tuhan Sekalian Alam, dan Salawah ke atas junjungan besar Nabi Muhammad SAW.

Ya Allah,

Sesungguhnya Kau lah yang Maha Berkuasa,

Kau lah Penerima Segala Hajat,

Kau lah yang Maha Mengetahui,

Bantulah aku hambaMu yang lemah,

Aku pohon kepadaMu,

Bantulah aku hilangkan perasaan ini,

Sesungguhnya ia hadir tidak diundang,

Aku takut cintaku padaMu hanyut,

Ya Allah,

Aku masih belum bersedia,

Tapi Kau yang lebih mengetahui,

Aku serahkan masa depanku dalam perihalMu,

Dan aku akan berjuang sedaya upayaku,

Aku takut dikecewakan,

Aku tak mahu dipermainkan,

Aku khuatir ini permainan perasaan,

Aku takut bermain permainan hati ini,

Biarkan aku berlari,

Terus berlari,

Lari daripada semua ini,

Benarkan daku wahai Tuhanku,

Ya Allah, 

Andai dia jodohku,

Kau peliharalah aku dan dia,

Kau pertemukanlah kami dengan izinMu,

Kau ikatkan kami dalam ikatan yang sah dan Kau restui,

Kerna aku hambaMu yang lemah,

Kerna aku manusia biasa,

Kerna aku tiada apa2,

Kerna aku hina.

Sesungguhnya,

Engkaulah yang Menentukan,

Ampuni aku, Restui aku, Rahmati aku.

Serta Ibu Bapaku, ahli keluargaku,

Dan sahabat2 kenalan2ku,

Dan juga si dia.

Illaliqa. Wassalam.

Final Bachelor Examination 2014.

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 The Last Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

I must say, confidence and tawakkal are two different concepts. Confidence is a state of where somebody is being certain that his action or words is the best or most effective. Tawakkal on the other hand, putting the confidence in God's decision, after pushing the effort to our best capabilities, believing that He will give the best result which suits us. 

Honestly speaking, in the mist of exam period, most of the time I don't have the confidence in answering the brutally horrifying question, however, I've put my tawakkal and pray to Allah, and always believe in Him would be my first priority after every paper. I'm not really good in reading and memorizing hundreds of lecture slides, like my high school biology test, mostly it didn't go well, and this exam, I've got laws and ethics, sustainability and engineering's principle to be bombed into this piece of brain of mine. 

But alhamdulillah, I'm doing my best and I know He will help me.

i need prayer and your encouragement. not pressure. thanks.

most of the time answering my paper. :(

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

I recalled during my high school days, even the hardest time, the busiest moment, I will find myself back at the corner of the surau, and recite the Quran, at least once a day, how busy I am, I will go and pray at the surau. 

But nowadays, I hardly do that anymore, what happened to my time management? What is my time allocation for Allah? What will I do to please Him?

I can't say there's any improvement, but I'm trying. Let's strive towards His blessing. Insya-Allah.

Pray for my exams pretty please.

Spring 2014: Istanbul Gezisi.

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

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

Last spring break, I had a small matter (read: hal sikit). I decided to go to Istanbul, in Turkey for a week as vacation alone. I rode turkish airlines which was very good airlines for about 3 hours and half to Attartuk Airport, Istanbul. I was reluctant to go at first as this is my first time going for eurotrip alone. Yes, I took the risk, but alhamdulillah, I survived for a week there. Since spring break last year, I've been longing to go to Istanbul, the place where Islamic empire, the Ottoman was once feared by the western. And so many things just didn't go to my way since then, I decided to take the leap of faith, of going alone, though my mom really against me.

"Sometimes we need to take a leap of faith. Just jump of the cliff, and pray that God will help you for sure, if your intentions are pure."

I stayed at Beyoglu area, about 2 minutes to Istiklal Cadesi and Hard Rock Cafe Istanbul. The hostel was named Seyyah Apartment and Hostel. The owner was very friendly and helpful. Even though I didn't get the room I asked for online, he transferred me to somewhere really comfortable, and I liked it. I met few awesome people in it. Johanna and Tristan were a couple from Hamburg, Germany, very friendly and kind. Mo Zheng from China, though studying in Portsmouth, very cute and friendly, Mathias from south Germany was kind and friendly and another one Australian girl working in London (I forgot her name), who was good and awesome. I wish to meet people like them more. May Allah bless these people with knowledge and wisdom of Islam.

I went to various places as below:

1. Aya Sophia

2. Blue Mosque

3. Topkapi Palace

4. Suleymaniye Mosque

5. Beyazid Mosque

6. Grand Bazaar

7. Spice Market

8. Eminonu

9. Eyub Sultan Mosque

10. Istanbul University

11. Dolmabahce Palace

12. Istiklal Cadesi

13. Turk Telekom Arena

14. Galata Tower

15. Kadikoy

16. Prince's Island

17. Anadolu Kavalagi

Blue Mosque, Sultanahmet, Istanbul.

Hagia Sophiea, Sultanahmet.

 Suleymaniye Mosque.

 New Mosque.

 Spice/Egyptian Bazaar.

 Eminonu

View from Galata Tower

I guess that were most of it. I met an old couple from Canada in front of Blue Mosque that were very friendly and even suggested me to go Cappadocia and Pamukkale. I really wish to go there, maybe somewhere in future, insya-Allah. I also met a Malay father and his small daughter in a mosque at A. Kavalagi. He was a doctor in HUKM and was on vacation since his wife is having a conference nearby. I wish these people will be blessed as well. Allah, how good these people.

I went to Eyub Sultan Mosque, the place where one of companions of Prophet Muhammad PBUH is buried in constantinople. It was very good opportunity that I got to go there and give my al-fatihah to the martyrs. Alhamdulillah and all praise to Allah for giving me this priceless chance. On the way back, I enjoyed the view which I can't get anywhere else, on top of the hill at the area. Alhamdulillah.

 Eyub.

Eyub Sultan Mosque

One good thing here is almost all the food are halal, which was heaven for me. I don't have to think much of what I want to eat because I can simply have anything, that included the fast food restaurant. I enjoy my time here, tasting free sample of turkish delight and baklava, walking without any rushing whatsoever, seeing the view of once a great place envisioned by the Prophet Muhammad PBUH.

Egg and minced meat pide.

Balik ekmek. 

Kumpir.

Burger King! Jyeah!

Tulips at Topkapi Palace.

On the last day, I went to blue mosque with Matthias to have the last glimpse of blue mosque and hagia sophie during twilight. It was really dramatic moment when I last sujud during my maghrib jamaah prayer there. It was great experience and I wish to come again to Istanbul. Maybe next time I'll go to Pamukkale and Cappadocia as well. It was unimaginable to think how sad it is to leave this country at the end of my solo journey.

Buyukada, Uskudar (Prince's Island)

And so, I made another video. Here it goes. :D

"O Lord, for You I give my thanks, for You I get my strength. Just this once, I want to express my gratitude to You, for this chance and safety upon this great land. Prosperous it and let the ray of Islam shine for eternity."

Alhamdulillah. Illaliqa'. Wassalam.

p/s: I'm having presentation and final exam in a week. Please spare me your prayer. Tesekkurler. :D
