pray for GAZA

Palestin itu jauh dari kita

Pada kita derita itu
pada gagalnya peperiksaan
laparnya perut pada makanan

putusnya cinta pada kekasih pujaan
jauhnya ibu ayah dari dakapan
juga habisnya duit dalam bekalan


Pada mereka derita itu
Apabila rumah kediaman digesel trak
Harta benda serba serbi dirompak
maruah keluarga dipijak-pijak
anak bini dicincang oleh manusia tak berotak
tanah air Islam diinjak-injak

irama kita
adalah suara siti yang merdu
atau muzik rock yang bingit melegakan
atau suara nasyid yang mendayu-dayu

irama mereka
bulddozer yang menghiasi setiap pagi
ketulan batu yang dicampak ke muka yahudi
Bom yang tak pernah sunyi berbunyi

sungguh sukar kita berada di tempat mereka
kita masih tak sanggup menerima ujian sedemikian mereka

berpisahnya kita dari keluarga cuma sementara
berpisahnya mereka dengan ayah,ibu, adik beradik adalah buat selama-lamanya

tanggisnya kita di dunia adalah kerana gagalnya kita dalam ujian
putusnya cinta atau geramnya pada manusia
tanggisnya mereka di dunia kerana tidak dapat membunuh musuh Allah
kerana gagalnya mereka menemui kesyahidan

Rindu kita hanya bauan pada keluarga tercinta
Pada kekayaan melimpa ruah
pada umur yang panjang
agar keluarga kita lebih makmur membahagiakan

Rindu mereka pada wangian syurga tertinggi…
pada syahid tanpa henti
pada perjumpaan teragung
dengan Ilahi tercinta…

Siapakah kita berbanding mereka?

a note of love to all my single girlfriends

Assalamualaikum.. i found this on fb. Just wanna share it to all of you. Hope you'll like it just like i do.

Last night my husband & I went for grocery shopping and we bought not-so-glamorous stuffs for the house like floor cleaner, cooking oil & rice; and then it struck me that we’re so married! Hehe... Alhamdulillah… It got me thinking of the things that I would do instead last night if I was still single; and it reminds me of my single friends who (I assume) like me once – waiting, hoping & looking for Mr. Right. Yes, I was all that, waiting, hoping & looking, and now when Allah sends my husband to me, for me, it happened so quickly, so fast, we were married within two-and-a-half months after the first day we laid eyes on each other! How did it happen? It’s Allah’s decree, no doubt. Alhamdulillah..

Before I deep-dive further into my marriage, I feel that I need to do my part to share with you bits and pieces of advice on the journey of finding ‘the one’. Please take this from my own experience and observation and it is not anyway to be treated like 'the checklist', but I think it will help insyaAllah.

#1 – Be Fair

A friend of mine told me that ‘we’ll get who we deserve’, and many years later I realized and come to my wisdom that it’s true; and to me, it’s even written in the Quran that: “…women of purity are for men of purity, and men of purity is for women of purity” – Qur’an 24:26. So ladies, before we list down our criteria in a man that we’re looking for, like “Dia mestilah seorang yang bertanggung jawab, beriman & menghormati orang tua etc., do reflect again are we all that in the first place? Are we responsible? Are we pious? Are we respectful to the elders?

#2 – Hook Up with Allah & Allah will Hook You Up

We are Muslims. And we know that Allah is the Creator and He holds our future, our life. And only from Him we could be guided to find the one, the right one, the good one. So do check out this great article on the explanation of Hook Up with Allah & Allah will Hook you Up. I hold this concept true to my heart during my single days and hopefully you'll find it beneficial too insyaAllah.

http://www.suhaibwebb.com/personaldvlpt/hook-up-with-allah-allah-will-hook-you-up/

#3 – Be Proactive

When a few other friends and I were single, we are inspired by the story of our Mother of the Believers, Khadijah Binti Khuwailid r.a. There is an article on it, which is “Just Because Khadijah Ask” and one of the excerpts in the article says:

“Khadijah asked. Khadijah, may Allah’s Mercy be upon her, asked about Prophet Muhammad for marriage. She initiated the communication. She sent someone on her behalf to find out if he was available for marriage. And it was because she asked, that she got that blessed answer. And with that answer, was the beginning of the greatest stories of love for all times, and also one of the greatest examples of a true muhsina and mumina. A woman older than him, previously married with children, was inquiring about a younger bachelor, from one of the best tribes in town.  The honor of his acceptance wasn’t just hers alone. It was his too. He was going to marry one of the most beautiful hearts in all of Mecca. A woman who’s heart would sacrifice everything she had to support him, and Islam. Khadijah asked.”

Check out this website for the article:

http://muslimmatters.org/2010/08/02/because-khadijah-asked-an-alternative-path-to-meeting-mr-right/

I’m not saying just get out there and ask any male passers-by if they’re single and looking; but be truthful to begin with. The next time your aunts asking you when you’re getting married?; instead of replying “I just want to focus on my career for now”, please remove your ego and say “I have not found one, why not you introduce me to someone Aunty? I am ready to settle down.” They will usually quickly think of someone for you, or the at least they will think of you when the next time any of her friends start asking for any single girls to marry their bachelor sons, and if that doesn't happen too, the very least they will stop asking you when and that will lift unnecessary pressure.

Besides that, be active in community service, environmental projects, language classes, or any halal activities of your interest. You’d tend to meet more people outside your regular circle of friends, and raise the possibilities of meeting the one; and best of all he will share the same interest as you. Sharing the same interest is always a good thing to begin with.

#4 – He will be the Father of Your Children

I went for a talk by Yunus Kathrada, he told us a story of a man who went to see a Syeikh to seek advice on his newborn child. Which is good to always seek advice, but the Syeikh responded to the man “It’s too late”. Why? The Syeikh said that the process of raising an excellent child begins even before we get married - by selecting a good spouse to begin with. I have heard stories about girl meets boy at Hard Rock Café, at Zouk nightclub and what else have we. I cannot say that couples met at all these places would be heading to a crappy marriage, but think about it. Don’t we all want a good beginning for our union that would bear us pious and righteous kids in the future?

For a very good lecture on this, it brought tears to my eyes. Allahuakbar. Please YouTube search this: "Mufti Menk parent~child relationship"

Maybe what I'm trying to say also is, all human are born with a fitrah, an innate feeling of returning to the Almighty Allah. No matter how naughty we are at a point of our lives, at the back of our heads I'm sure we'll be thinking "I will repent and return to Allah one day". But, if girl meets boy at nightclub, and then they get married, years later the girl feels like she wants to get closer to Allah while the boy still would like to party; then we'll see a problem when the girl starts going to religious classes and want to go for Umrah, while her husband refuse to even pray his solat. Which of the parents will the children look up to and follow? Let's think far, and choose wisely.

Besides that, observe his temperament & his reaction towards children – the last thing you would want when you’re married with 3 kids crying in your arms, you ask for his help with the kids and he says.. “You know right honey, me and kids just don’t gel”…

#5 – Eliminate, Banish Your Baggage

I believe there is wisdom for free-mixing and dating is haraam in Islam. We all know that GF-BF concept is superficial; we will never get to know the true color of someone until we live with them – day in, day out. If you are still not convinced that dating is haram, the are a lot of hadiths to prove it, but I will share one here that I feel so strong about:

It was narrated that Ma’qil ibn Yassaar said: the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “For one of you to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle is better for him than that he should touch a woman who is not permissible for him.” 

-Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Kabeer, 486. Shaykh al-Albaani said in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 5045, that this hadeeth is saheeh.

Don't tell me people who "couple" and "date" don't even touch each other. Dating/couple/in a relationship is haram my dears. Fear Allah and seek for his help to give you strength to do the right thing.

And to me, the other ugly side of this “dating” relationship is, it does not always have the happy ending. I have heard stories of a bride crying on her wedding day when her ex-boyfriend called her up for a last good bye, some still can’t get over their exes even after having children; some still secretly get in touch with their exes just to ask “How have you been”?” subhanAllah… May Allah protect us from this.

If you still have issues or still cannot get over an ex, deal with it now. It will fog-up your path to find the one, and you will always have the shadow of your ex over your decision on moving on with another man. You would only want to have a vision of you and your husband and your kids in the future, and not the thought of “How would it be if I marry him instead?” Wise up, girls!

#6 – Be Selective, Not Picky

I believe there is a fine line between being selective and picky. To me, if you decline a proposal from a guy that is pleasing to the eyes, well mannered and has a stable income; but he smokes & you realized that he seldom attends Friday prayers, then yes you're being selective. But if you decline a proposal from a guy that is pleasing to the eyes, well mannered, has stable income, doesn't smoke, and is Allah-fearing, but he is a mommy's boy (or he's balding, or he has an interesting hobby of collecting dried leaves) then you're being picky.

Key thing to remember here “Deal Breaker”. If he has or lacks of certain pivotal quality/characteristic that you cannot live with/without then it is big reason not to marry him. For example, if you know you're a career driven person and have major career ambitions but your potential husband wants you to eventually quit your job to look after the kids then that's the “Deal Breaker”. But please do not confuse deal breaker with differences. For example, if you like to eat Japanese and hates Italian food but he cannot bear the thought of eating raw fish but loves pasta, this is not deal breaker. Both of your can still work around differences and it is silly to have a big fight over which restaurant to go have dinner. But “Deal Breakers” are something that could most likely put a strain in a marriage in which failing to manage could lead to divorce. See the significance?

However, please try not to overanalyze and being hypercritical. Another key thing to remember is: Nobody Is Perfect, and no sayang, not even you.

#7 – Be Ready to Give (Up)

Marriage is not all about sex. It's not all about him showering you with endless love and affection. It's not all about cuddling & curling up together in the bed every night. Yes, it is all that, but it is not all and everything about that. It's not all about you! Marriage needs sustenance, and it does not come for free, you need to work for it. You need to give. Just like how we expect our men to know manly stuffs like how to change the car tyre when it punctures or know to repair a leaking pipe or how to assemble a DIY baby cot; I'm sure men would also expect the wives to know womanly stuffs like how to cook, how to do laundry properly and perhaps iron man's work clothes.

Of course most of us could say that it's the modern world now, women don't need to know how to cook and clean and that we can get a maid to do all that. But would you really want to get a maid to cook your husband's meals & iron your husband's work shirts? I know it's easier said than done, but who say that to maintain a happy marriage is effortless & easy?

Ready to give, includes being ready to give up. Do you have male friends who you often hang with, or who to you “we're just friends?” or “we've been friends for so long he's like a brother to me”? Guess what? After you're married, I would need to advice you to give them up like a bad habit. I know along the years we have made so many friends including guy friends, but once we're married we CANNOT hang out with them anymore. I am not saying we cannot be friends anymore, but it is with loads of limitation. I trust that you would use your wisdom on how to draw the line. Even though you future husband is the “coolest” guy on earth (and Allah forbids) he allows you hang out with any of your guys friends, once you're being seen by other people hanging out with another guy other than your husband, you've lit a spark for fitnah and speculation which will spread like wildfire. Imagine a neighbour saw you walking with your male friend at a mall, and she tells your mother in-law. High voltage drama huh?

Trust. Could take years to build, but only a minute to destroy.

#8 - It's Him Not His Money

So, he drives a BMW and earns RM20k a month? OR So, he drives his father's first car and don't really have a proper job? BUT I say So what?

Often times girls will look for a man that is wealthy and rich - that's completely common. Its a biological and psychological thing. We need look for men that can "hunt & gather" to provide security, shelter and food to take care of us and our young. It's a survival thing.

However, either he is rich or broke; he is actually rich or broke NOW. Who are we to say that their wealth will be there forever, or that they will earn very little money for lifetime? The key point to stress, is his deen (iman) & character. Does he have the right knowledge and iman to guide you and your young. Does he have maturity and good character to endure the challenges of the world and maried life? They say money is the #1 cause of divorce nowadays. But do you think it's the money or how the married couple deal and manage when they're stuck in a situation that involves money?

I am not saying, go into marriage blindly but please use your wisdom and not your desire. He may not have much today, but if you see that he has the willpower to work hard to earn a better living and you believe with all your heart that Allah is All Provider, insyaAllah you'll be fine.

For me, during the ta'aruff (introduction meeting) with my then-not-yet-husband, I asked him about his education. To me and maybe to a lot of parents education is key. Personally, I don't mind if he is a burger flipper at Ramly Burger (he's not by the way), but if he has a qualification, or a degree or something, insyaAllah he has something to fall back on. I didn't ask him about how much he's earning or anything like that, because it's not important to me. Have faith in Allah that He is The All Provider.

From Umar ibn Al-Khattab from the Prophet (sas) who said:

"If only you relied on Allah a true reliance, He would provide sustenance for you just as He does the birds: They fly out in the morning empty and return in the afternoon with full stomachs."

Ahmad, An-Nasaa’I, Ibn Majah, Al-Hakim and At-Tirmidhi who said: "Hassan sahih"

#9 – Know the Rights of Husband & Obligations of Wife, Vice Versa.

A lot of us dreams of getting married one day to wear nice dress on the wedding day. But after the wedding day is over a whole new world of responsibilities await you and him. Both husband and wife has a list of responsibilities within the Islamic guidelines. Read them up, study them. By abiding to this guidelines, almost certainly we can maintain a happy marriage by the will of Allah.

But often, during tense and trying times the husband and wife would usually accuse each other of not full filling his/her rights. For example the husband would say “You should beautify yourself for me and not look like a mess at home!”; and the wife would say something like “You're supposed to provide a home for us, but we been living with your housemate for months now!”

A key guideline to this is to prioritize your obligations as a wife and to respect the rights of the husband. And vice versa of course. Know your obligations, what you should do, your responsibilities BEFORE thinking about your rights, his obligations, what he should do and his responsibilities.

So now.. can you manage to fulfill all your obligations? Are you such a strong-headed person that would be able to listen to your husbands advice? Do you have the right attitude to be kind to your husband? Do you still think that after you're married you can do whatever you want and allow anybody into your house without your husband's permission? What would you do if you have a long tiring day at work but you need to fulfill your husband's physical desire? Do you have the right motivation to beautify yourself (at home) to be pleasing to his eyes with your appearance? Basically, do we have the right mindset to strive to be a good wife? Or do we still think it's all about me, me, me?

Please ponder on this hadith:

Qays ibn Sa'd Narrated: I went to al-Hirah and saw them (the people) prostrating themselves before a satrap (governor of a province in ancient Persia) of theirs, so I said: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) has most right to have prostration made before him. When I came to the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him), I said: I went to al-Hirah and saw them prostrating themselves before a satrap of theirs, but you have most right, Apostle of Allah, to have (people) prostrating themselves before you. He said: Tell me , if you were to pass my grave, would you prostrate yourself before it? I said: No. He then said: Do not do so. If I were to command anyone to make prostration before another I would command women to prostrate themselves before their husbands, because of the special right over them given to husbands by Allah. [Hadith: Sunan Abu Dawud, 11:2135]

Heavy. I know... :(

But marriage is such a pure & beautiful thing that if we fulfill every obligations for the sake of Allah, we shall be rewarded for every effort insyaAllah.

Ibn Hibban narrated that the Prophet(Sallallahu alaiyhi wassallam) said, “If a woman prayed five prayers, fasted in Ramadan, protected her honor and obeyed her husband; then she will be told (on the Day of Judgment): enter Paradise from any of its(eight) doors.”

insyaAllah...Yeay!! :D

#10 – It is the Marriage, Not the Wedding

I think we heard countless times that engaged couples are putting off marriage because they do not have enough money to hold the wedding. If you're imagining a wedding with rotating wedding cake, nasi minyak lobster menu, tents decorated with thousands of tulips from Amsterdam, haute couture Vera Wang wedding dress and French Riviera honeymoon (ok, I'm exaggerating here but you get the picture) - then no wonder why you need to put off your wedding.

But my dears, it's really not all about the wedding. Some of my friends asked me whether it was the happiest day of my life; I had a little trouble answering that because leading after the wedding is what matters more to me. The whole lifetime with this person that you should treat him as part of you; and build a family with children whom are the coolness of our eyes. InsyaAllah.. and that thought itself could make one very happy.

It's not about the wedding stuffs. I remember people who attended my wedding and the precious moments. How I was overwhelmed with emotions when my dad hugged me tightly before the akad nikah & my mom whispered "you'll always be my baby" during the akad nikah ceremony. And the happiest thing I could remember on my wedding day was holding his hand for the very first time. That was surreal, I loved it so much. See? I don't remember much about the wedding stuffs; although they're really nice - the dress, the pelamin, the bunga telur, Alhamdulillah, but I don't remember that time and again.  I always have this theory, the longer it takes to prepare a wedding the harder it gets to let the wedding itself go... After 1 year (or even more) of preparing, it will all be over in 2 days, and you'd go.. "That's it? That's The wedding?" So please, once you have met the right person to marry, go ahead with it – quickly.

Some really good books on preparing yourselves for marriage, I would recommend:

1. The Muslim Family Series by Muhammad Mustafa al-Jibaly

2. The Ideal Muslimah by Dr. Muhammad Ali Al Hashimi

Can get them from Dakwah Corner Bookstore -  http://www.dakwahbookstore.com.my

Some really good speakers I love listening to (YouTube them):

1. Mufti Menk

2. Nouman Ali Khan

3. Mussab Wadji Akkari

So there you go. A little note of love from the quite newly married me to all my single sisters. I always make du'a for Allah to hasten the jodoh for all my single sisters with a pious and great men who will be the coolness of their eyes. Please make loads of du'a for yourselves too. Never lose hope in the mercy of Allah.  “Hook up with Allah and Allah will hook you up”, remember? :)

A wife is like a gift to a man. And there is a hadith that goes like this:

"This world is just temporary conveniences, and the best comfort in this world is righteous women.” - Sahih Muslim 10/56.

So prepare yourself to be a gift (and not a test) to your future husband, so that one day he will hold you and look lovingly in your eyes and say “Alhamdulillah”.

~END~

Do share if you feel this would benefit others, insyaAllah.

Please make doa for Allah to shower me & my family with His mercy and keep us steadfast on the right path. Ameen..

kuat dan sabar seperti Baginda SAW

assalamualaikum..

seha baru selesai membaca kisah hidup Rasulullah SAW. erm, siapa tidak kenal Nabi Muhammad SAW. berapa ratus buku di tulis oleh tokoh sejarah Islam dan bukan Islam tentang Baginda. siapa tidak rindu Rasulullah SAW. hingga ada lagu laukana bainana lagi.

tapi kan.. rindu Rasulullah itu cukupkah sekadar rindu? macam mana dengan ajaran-ajaran yang Rasulullah bawa? adakah kita amalkan dan sampaikan? bagaimana kita boleh jadi sekuat dan tabah Rasulullah yang memikul tanggungjawab dari Allah? bagaimana mahu sabar dengan orang-orang jahil sebagaimana sabarnya Rasulullah?

betapa penyabarnya Rasulullah dengan orang Yahudi yang mencaci baginda.. hari-hari Rasulullah suapkan makanan untuk Yahudi buta yang mencaci baginda.

betapa sabarnya Rasulullah.. menziarahi jirannya yang terlantar sakit walhal setiap hari buang sampah depan rumah Nabi SAW.

betapa sabarnya Rasulullah.. bila ada Yahudi rentap kain yang ada di leher Rasulullah sampai berbekas merah di leher Rasulullah tapi Rasulullah tetap penuhi permintaan dia..

betapa sabarnya Rasulullah.. bila dua orang yang paling kuat menyokong baginda meninggal dunia Rasulullah tetap meneruskan usaha dakwahnya..

betapa sabarnya Rasulullah.. kena campak batu sampai berdarah, dikutuk macam-macam.. tapi tak marah pun dengan penduduk taif.. sedangkan Jibril pun rasa mahu hempap mereka dengan gunung. Baginda siap mendoakan untuk mereka pula.

sabarnya Rasulullah kita.. Nabi kita yang sangat mulia hatinya..

tapi diri ini, mengaku ummat Muhammad..
jauhnya berbeza dengan Baginda.. #muhasabahdiri

T_______________________________T

cemburu!

assalamualaikum wbt.. IKHLAS, hari ini seha rasa nak cerita tentang ikhlas. betapa tingginya darjat orang ikhlas. walaupun amalnya kecil dimata manusia, tetapi besar di sisi Allah.

Firman Allah swt,

'Ikhlas itu satu rahsia dalam rahsia-Ku,
Aku titiskan ia dalam hati hamba-hambaKu yang Aku
kasihi.' 

(Hadis Qudsi).

seha terbaca satu kisah tentang seorang makcik.. dia hanyalah seorang yang tua, mengajar anak-anak di kampung membaca Al-Quran. mayatnya wangi setelah meninggal!

seha mahu BOLDkan disini.

dia bukan seorang HAFIZAH..

dia bukan juga seorang tokoh terkenal memperjuangkan Islam..

dia juga bukan seorang ahli farmasi yang memperkenalkan formula dan prinsip baru dalam perubatan..

dia juga bukan isteri ketua kampung mahupun isteri tok imam..

dia bukan juga seorang naqibah yang begitu ramai anak buahnya..

dia bukan seorang wanita yang pintar berkata-kata..

ya, makcik itu hanyalah seorang tua yang mengajarkan anak-anak kampung membaca surat cinta dari Allah.. SubhanAllah!

Pengajaran yang kita dapat:

1- besarnya nilai ikhlas, hingga amalan kecil pada pandangan manusia sebenarnya besar disisi Allah.

2- bukan bermaksud kita tidak perlu melakukan usaha habis-habisan untuk menjadi yang terbaik di sisi Allah.

3- bukan juga bermaksud kita boleh menghukum orang yang kita lihat lebih hebat dari kita sewenang-wenangnya hanya kerana kesalahan kecil yang dilakukannya.

4- walaupun amal baik itu kecil dan bukan ditunjukkan orang hebat, ia tetap menjadi contoh ikutan untuk kita turut sama melakukannya.

seha cemburu pada orang yang berjaya meletakkan Allah sebagai cinta hatinya yang pertama sebelum perkara lain.. seha juga mahu jadi begitu, insyaAllah. :)

p/s; untuk apa sanjungan dan pujian manusia? itu semua hanya merosakkan segala amal yang sudah sedia sedikit. "ikhlas itu ibarat semut hitam yang berjalan di atas batu hitam di malam yang gelap". betapa halusnya ikhlas itu, sehingga malaikat sendiri tidak tahu dan syaitan tidak mampu merosakkannya. hanya Dia yang Mengetahui. semoga dituntun hati kita dengan cintaNya dan terarah langkah kita selari dengan redhaNya. aminn.. may Allah bless! :)

berjuta alasan dibina hanya kerana satu sebab

assalamualaikum wbt.. apa khabar iman kawan-kawan semua? alhamdulillah, seindah alam.

Cantiknya alam kerana mereka tidak jemu menurut perintah Allah.

Matahari bersinar dengan warna oren.

Langit biru putih dan berkepul-kepul awannya.

Hutan yang hijau dan sentiasa mendamaikan.

Hanya kerana alam ini tidak jemu dan malas melakukan peranan mereka sebagai makhluk Allah.

Pernah dengarkah pada suatu hari matahari sudah malas mengeluarkan cahaya orennya, langit sudah tidak minat lagi menjadi biru putih berkepul-kepul dan hutan sudah jemu menjadi hijau yang pelbagai??
apa akan jadi? huru-haralah dunia..

bagaimana pula kita sebagai hamba Allah yang paling baik ciptaannya? pernahkah merasa jemu dan malas melakukan sesuatu perkara kebaikan? walhal bukan tidak tahu, perkara yang kita malas untuk lakukan itu bukanlah perkara dosa atau tidak bermanfaat untuk iman..

okay, berhenti dan tarik nafas dalam-dalam.. tenangkan fikiran..

baiklah, jika malas melakukan, dengan kesedaran "saya sedang malas"..  itu dikira masih okay, walaupun sudah ditahap tidak lama lagi mungkin tenggelam dalam kemalasan.. kerana kesedaran itu membuatkan kita berusaha melakukan perkara baik tersebut sambil melawan kemalasan itu.

alhamdulillah dan segala puji bagi Allah.

tapi apa jadi bila sebenarnya kita sedang malas dan tiada hati untuk melakukan perkara baik dan kita tidak sedar yang kita sebenarnya sedang malas dan tiada hati untuk melakukannya??

maka keluarlah 'sejuta alasan hanya kerana satu sebab'
okay, buat ayat berbelit pula kan. ayat terang lagi bersuluh adalah: 'Mencari pelbagai alasan untuk menutup rasa malas dan tidak mahu'

keupayaan melakukan kebaikan itu hanya kerana kekuatan diri kitakah? tidak. dengan rahmat Allah, kita yang penuh dengan salah dan penderhakaan pada-Nya.. tetap diberi peluang dan kekuatan oleh Allah untuk melakukan kebaikan. pasti, kita sebenarnya berupaya melakukan sesuatu amalan itu kerana ada kehendak yang Maha Berkuasa untuk kita melaksanakan kebaikan itu.

tapi..apa jadi bila hati sudah jemu melakukan kebaikan.. bila hati dan fikiran mula berusaha mencari alasan untuk meninggalkan kebaikan yang selama ini kita lakukan? sedangkan selama ini hati dan fikiran berusaha mencari jalan untuk terus melakukan kebaikan itu.. berdoalah. pohonlah pada Allah. berusahalah. semoga dihujung doa dan usaha itu ada jalan terbaik untuk kita. insyaAllah!

p/s; semoga kita semua terus tsabat dan istiqamah di jalanNya. may Allah bless! :)

the difference between a Queen and a Muslimah

Here Are Some Common Points Between A Hijabi Muslimah And A Queen :-

◕ Both Are Dressed Modestly:-

A Queen Dresses Modestly Because It’s Obligation For Her To Do So.

A Hijabi Muslimah Dresses Modestly Because She Is Obeying Her Lord.

◕ Both Have High Status :-

A Queen’s Status Is Raised The Moment She Inherits Her Title And Crown.
A Hijabi Muslimah’s Status Is Raised The Moment She Puts Her True Crown (Hijab) To Please Her Lord.


◕ Both Should Not Shake Hands With Everyone :-

There Are Only Certain People Who Can Shake Hands With Queen.
A Hijabi Muslimah Don’t Shake Hands With Strange Men (Non Mahram).

◕ Both Are Respected :-

They Bow Down In The Presence Of A Queen.
True Muslim Men Lower Their Gaze On The Presence Of Muslimah.


◕ Both Are Proud :-

A Queen Is Proud With Her Bloodline.
A Hijabi Is Proud To Be A Muslimah.

◕ Both Are Important :-

A Queen Is Important In Creatures Eyes.
A Hijabi Muslimah, As An Obedient Servant Of ALLAH, Is Important In Her eyes.

BUT QUEEN WANTS PEOPLE TO OBEY HER.
BUT A MUSLIMAH SAYS: “IT IS ALLAH WHO IS TO BE OBEYED” & THIS IS WHERE A MUSLIMAH BECOMES FAR SUPERIOR THAN ANY QUEEN OF THE WORLD..

the hijab : myths and misconceptions

Myth: The hijab is the scarf that covers a Muslim woman’s neck and hair.
Truth: Hijab refers to modesty in actions and dress including covering the entire body except the face and hands, wearing loose-fitting clothing that does not emphasize the woman’s figure, and is not revealing in any way.

Myth: Women who wear hijab have been forced to do so.
Truth: Wearing hijab is a decision for women, one with deep religious meaning.

Myth: Hijab only refers to women.
Truth: The Islamic perception of hijab applies to men as well referring to the way in which they conduct themselves.

Myth: Muslim women must wear hijab at all times.
Truth: Muslim women must only wear hijab when in public places and in the company of men who are not immediate family (brothers-in-law, cousins, neighbors). Muslim women can wear makeup and uncovered hair in the presence of their family and men who they cannot marry within the Islamic faith (fathers, brothers, sons, grandfathers) or at occasions where only women are present.

Myth: The hijab is a traditional Arab custom.
Truth: The practice of modesty and coveting the woman’s hair is mandated by Islam, and is a religious, not a cultural practice. Covering the hair out of modesty is seen in other religions as well - Mary is often depicted with her head covered; nuns take the habit.

************

Poem about Hijab for my dear girlfriends :)

 You look at me and call me oppressed,
Simply because of the way I'm dressed,

You know me not for what is inside,
You judge the clothing I wear with pride,

My body is not for your eyes to hold,
You must speak to my mind, not my feminine mould,

I'm an individual. I'm no man's slave,
It's Allah's pleasure that I only crave,

I have a voice so I will be heard,
For in my heart I carry His word,

"O ye women, wrap close your cloak,
So you won't be bothered by ignorant folk".

Man doesn't tell me to dress this way,
It's law from God that I obey,

Oppressed is something I'm truly not,
For liberation is what I've got,

It was given to me many years ago,
With the right to prosper, the right to grow,

I can climb mountains or cross the seas,
Expand my mind in all degrees,

For God Himself gave us liberty,
When He sent Islam, to you and me!

1) Dicatat pahala yang banyak
2) Wajah berseri
3) Dijauhkan dari hasad dengki dan fitnah
4) Dijauhkan dari gangguan iblis
5) Ditunaikan segala hajat
6) Terpelihara dari tipu daya musuh
 
Menurut Ka'abul akhbar:

Barangsiapa membaca akan dia, tiada kuasa seseorang memberi mudharat dan jikalau tertutup langit atas bumi, lepas ia dengan izin Allah.

Kata Ali r.a.:

Barangsiapa mengamalkan atau membaca ayat 7 pagi dan petang, maka ia akan merasa aman sentosa dari segala kebinasaan dan terpeliharalah daripada tipu daya musuh dan bala dengan izin Allah.

Apabila ayat 7 ini diamalkan sekali siang dan sekali malam (sesudah solat Maghrib dan Subuh), insyaallah akan memudahkan rezekinya, dipanjangkan umur, terpelihara dai gangguan jin, syaitan dan fitnah, dikasihi para hamba Allah serta dimudahkan serta dikabulkan segala apa yang dicita-citakannya.

Apabila diamalkan 40 hari berturut-turut dan pada setiap solat fardhu dibaca tujuh kali, nescaya akan memperolehi faedah yang besar.

Barangsiapa yang mewiridkan pada tiap-tiap selesai sembahyang fardhu, insyaallah, Allah akan memudahkan sakaratul maut kelak dan memperolehi pahala yang besar pula. Juga kalau dibacakan ayat ini pada orang sakit, maka insyaAllah akan menenangkan dan menyembuhkan dengan segera.

Barangsiapa yang membaca ayat tujuh dengan tujuh hari berturut-turut dengan ketentuan tujuh kali disiang hari dan tujuh kali di malam hari, mudah-mudahan Allah akan melepaskan atau memudahkan dari kesulitan dan kesusahan.

Menurut yang pernah mengamalkan, baca ayat tujuh disiang hari tujuh kali dan malam hari tujuh kali selama tujuh hari kemudian selepas itu diwiridkan sekali siang (lepas subuh) dan sekali malam (lepas maghrib) secara tetap setiap hari. Jika sudah mantap amalannya, kesannya akan dapat dirasai. jom sama-sama amalkan ayat tujuh ni.. may Allah bless! :)

FATWA ULAMA TENTANG SAURAH DI SYRIA

Rabitah Ulama Syria yang diasaskan oleh Dr Ali As-Sobuni dan Rabithah Ulama Sedunia telah berfatwa kepada rakyat Syria agar mempertahankan rumah mereka daripada keganasan tentera walaupun dengan menggunakan pisau dengan berdalilkan hadis berikut;

“Barangsiapa terbunuh mempertahankan hartanya, maka dia syahid; barangsiapa terbunuh mempertahankan ahli keluarganya, maka dia syahid; atau mempertahankan agamanya, maka dia syahid.”

-hadith ini dikeluarkan oleh Abu Daud dalam Sunannya (2/275) An-Nasaie dan Tirmidzi dan disahihkan oleh Imam Al-Albaniy dan Ahmad (1652 dan 1653) dari jalan Said Bin Zaid dan sanadnya Shahih.

PERKARA TERBARU

1) Masa depan kebangkitan ini begitu baik. ia berterusan dan semakin kukuh. Lebih 30000 tentera yang terdiri dari pegawai telah bersama rakyat. Mereka ini telah melindungi orang-orang yang turun berdemo kerana tidak tahan melihat kekejaman rejim Basyar Assad ini yang sesuka hati membunuh rakyatnya sendiri.

2) Pertubuhan-pertubuhan Arab (Liga Arab) telah mengambil pendirian tentang apa yang telah Syria lakukan terhadap rakyatnya. Mereka tidak membenarkan pegawai-pegawai Syria memasuki tanah mereka. tetapi ada 2 negara yang tidak berpendirian sedemikian iaitu Iraq dan Lubnan. Iraq tidak berpendirian sedemikian kerana pemimpin Syria merupakan orang Syiah dan mereka selalu meminta pertolongan dari Iraq kerana Iraq merupakan negara Syiah.

3) Syeikh Yussuf Al-Qardhawi telah mengeluarkan fatwa bahawa mereka yang terbunuh dalam keadaan yang sebegini adalah seorang yang SYAHID….

4) 95% ulama Syria telah bersama dalam kebangkitan rakyat ini.

5) 19% negara-negara Arab telah mewajibkan sekatan politik dan ekonomi ke atas Syria.

KENAPAKAH KITA KURANG MENGETAHUI DENGAN JELAS ISU SYRIA?

1) Gambaran tentang Syria agak tidak jelas bila dijelaskan oleh media-media, kerana itu Syeikh Hassan dihantar bagi menjelaskan apakah sebenarnya yang berlaku di SYRIA..

2) Media-media barat sebenarnya tidak mahu manusia dunia tahu akan apakah sebenarnya yang berlaku di Syria. Lalu mereka telah memutar-belitkan fakta.

3) Syeikh Khalid Hasan bercerita, ketika beliau di Indonesia dan bertemu dengan seorang teman, teman itu berkata dia lihat di akhbar bahawa ramai orang menyokong Kerajaan Syria. TV Indonesia juga menyiarkan bahawa ramai yang menyokong Kerajaan Syria yang dipimpin oleh Basyar Al-Assad. Apa yang berlaku sebenarnya ialah, kerajaan telah mengumpulkan pegawai-pegawainya supaya berkumpul dalam erti kata lain mahu menunjukkan kepada dunia bahawa Basyar Al-Assad ini mempunyai ramai yang menyokong beliau.

4) Jangan terpedaya dengan kenyataan-kenyataan yang kita dengar dari ahli intelektual Syria dan ahli politik Syria bahawa yang Syria menentang Israel. Tetapi, sejak zaman ayah Basyar Al-Assad lagi (Hafez Al-Assad) tidak satu peluru pun yang singgah ke tanah Israel. Bahkan Tanah Tinggi Golan yang terletak di Tanah Syria telah dikuasai oleh Israel.

5) Kita banyak tidak tahu tentang Isu Syria selama ini sebab media telah dikawal oleh pihak rejim Basyar Assad. Manakala sumber media lain tidak dibenarkan memasuki Syria untuk membuat liputan. Segala gambar dan video yang menjadi bahan bukti adalah hasil rakaman daripada para pendemonstrasi yang bertekad untuk merakam sendiri kezaliman tersebut dan kebanyakan daripada mereka telah menemui syahid.

Sebahagian rakaman lain telah dijual oleh tentera rejim Basyar Assad dengan harga 100 dolar. Syeikh Dr Khalid Hassan Al-Hindawi merupakan delegasi khas Syeikh Dr Yussuf Al-Qaradhawi ke Asia Tenggara untuk menyampaikan dan menyebarkan berita sebenar.

Assalamualaikum wbt.. :)

Alhamdulillah.. result dah keluar dan macam biasa, Allah bagi seha apa yang sepatutnya seha dapat. Allah nampak usaha seha dan Dialah yang selayaknya menilainya, bukan manusia lain. seha sangat bersyukur, result biasa-biasa tidak menjadikan seha lemah tapi tambah semangat nak habiskan module GIT ni. hee.. insyaAllah. :)

sekarang seha sedang belajar mengubah diri ke arah yang lebih baik. menutup segala kisah pahit dalam kehidupan remaja seha yang lalu. dalam usaha seha ingin berubah, pelbagai dugaan datang menyapa. hingga terkadang merasa lemah, hingga terkadang membuat khilaf. seha lagha dengan kehidupan seharian. namun, sungguh kasih Allah itu tidak bertepi. tiba saat keinsafan datang, satu rasa menerjah ke dalam hati ini. benarkah seha mahu berubah kerana Allah? benarkah seha ikhlas dalam segenap hal yang seha lakukan?

saat itu hati ini begitu terkesan.. menitis air mata. ya Allah, sungguh aku telah jauh dariMu. ampunkan aku ya Allah.. kasihMu padaku tak pernah padam, tapi kasihku padaMu? aku sedang dan akan mengajar diri ini untuk mencintaiMu dengan segenap ruang di hatiku. aku serik ya Allah.. jika aku mencintai manusia, aku akan merasa sakit apabila tidak dihargai. namun jika aku mencintaiMu, Kau hargai aku. buktinya sangat jelas.. kerana apabila Kau bawa aku padaMu, hatiku tenang bersamaMu..

saat hati sedang bergolak dengan perasaan sedih dan hiba, Allah hantarkan mereka yang tak pernah jemu mengingatkan diri ini.. yang sentiasa memaafkan diri ini walaupun banyak kali menyakiti mereka. maafkan diri ini wahai sahabat.. :(

Wahai pemudi Islam! Fahamilah dakwah dengan betul! Berjalanlah atas manhaj yang benar! Sistem yang berterusan bertunjangkan fikrah Islam yang tulen! Kerana sesungguhnya, Nabi berpesan, selagi tiada Khalifah di atas muka bumi, maka seluruh umat Islam menanggung azab dosa yang berterusan. Siapa yang masih teragak-agak dan berdolak-dalih, tentera Islam akan terus berjalan meninggalkannya tanpa mengira sedikit atau ramai (3 : 126)- ini jalan kamu wahai pemuda: As- Syahid Hassan Al- Banna.. Renungkanlah..

InsyaAllah jodoh ni boleh datang bila-bila dan memang tepat pada masanya.. InsyaAllah Allah bagi kita yang memang sekufu dengan kita.. banyak lelaki soleh tetapi kita tak berada dalam kalangan mereka.. doa jangan putus asa dipertemukan dengan lelaki yang lebih kuat iman dari kita, lebih segalanya kerana kecenderungan perempuan ikut lelaki sangat tinggi.. amalkan doa pengasih, supaya Allah temukan dengan lelaki yang mencintai Allah lebih dari segalanya.. tahukan doa tu? Soal jodoh jangan risau, berdoa je. Akak start doa sejak zaman sekolah.. ustazah pesan. Alhamdulillah suami akak seorang yang tak pernah couple dan sangat keras dengan perempuan.. mak mertua selalu cerita zaman muda suami akak macam mana... dia bukan hebat, tapi akak suka cara dia amal dengan ilmu yang dia ada walaupun sikit. So... kena doa dan terus berdoa. sayang seha lillahi ta'ala.. ;>
