Ramadhan Kareem :)

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Ramadhan is two days away for me! :D

       I miss Ramadhan, really! Last Ramadhan was one fruitful Ramadhan of my first entry year of tarbiyyah. Alhamdulillah. Hopefully this Ramadhan is going to be more advanced than last Ramadhan and hopefully it will advance further in terms of ibadah and intentions. ;)

"Allahumma barak lana fi Rajab wa Sha’ban wa Allahumma balighna Ramadan."  

(O Allah, Make the months of Rajab and Sha’ban blessed for us and allow us to reach Ramadan)

May Allah bless our efforts and may He guide through His way. Amiin. ;)

P/S : Don't be sorrow, 'cause tomorrow, He will show. InshaaAllah. ;)

Be Careful of What Your Heart Speaks of. :)

Assalamualaikum wbt.

       Sometimes, frustrations make your heart wanna rebel so much. But hold on! Rebelling isn't going to do any good to you. Take that long walk down the river, breath in fresh air, remember that Allah loves you, that is why He is testing on you. He wants us to prove our love towards Him. How far could we go for that pure love of His Oneness? :)

       Maybe what we did today relieves us for this short while, but never will it last years ahead. Believe me. Never think with your heart, but think with your soul. And think of Him always. :)

       Not even a month since my last exam paper. Heading for a fresher start this summer. InshaaAllah. Missions to be accomplish in 3months' time. ;)

P/S : Hope your summer months will be well spent as well. May Allah be pleased with everything that we are doing for His sake. Amiin. :)

PRU 14

Assalamualaikum wbt.

So, everyone is still in the "heat" of PRU13, the elections fever of Malaysia is not going to end so soon, at least not for these few weeks. May our spirits of fighting for a betterment never end even until the last day of our live on Earth. InshaaAllah. :)

I have finished my finals and hopefully I'll get through second year of medicine well enough with no resits, please do make du'as for me. Praying hard. May He grant our prayers. InshaaAllah. :)

While I'm sitting here, doing some small research/readings on the Post-PRU analyses, this is what I came out with as a 5 years' resolution for me and maybe it could help you too. Who knows? :)

While waiting for the next Election (PRU14), here's what I think what we should do in these 5 years:

• Cultivating the thinking society, even further.
• Nurturing teenagers/adults with good education.
• Diminishing the gap between races in Malaysia. Strengthening ties.
• Reaching out to the people in those rural areas and give them the best knowledge of what is happening around us.
• Focus on building ourselves and our family of being good muslims/ good members of the society, practising excellent moral values.
• Be someone influential!!! :D

5 years, seemed so small a number, but only God knows what we will become in the next 5 years. Some of you might contest in one of the Parlimentary/DUN seats? InshaaAllah. :)

If you have anything in mind to add on, please do comment. I am more than happy to hear what you think of. ;)

P/S : May this jihaad lasts. Say no to futur! InshaaAllah. :)

Peanut Butter Choc Chip Cookie

Assalamualaikum wbt.

And soooooooo today I baked! Prior to exam week! To quench my crave. :D
Here's a quick share of the recipe I "referenced" from the internet. Heee.

What you'll need :
3/4 cup salted butter/margarine
3/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup caster sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1 egg
3/4 cup creamy/crunchy peanut butter spread
1-1/4 cup plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder

100g semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup coarsely chopped peanuts/mixed nuts

Step by step mixing :

1. In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar. Do not melt the butter. Make sure you remove it from the refrigerator at least 30minutes beforehand.
2. Add in baking soda and salt. Mix thoroughly.
3. Put in drops of vanilla and break in the egg into the bowl. Mix.
4. Pour in peanut butter in sections while mixing the ingredients.
5. Sieve in flour and baking powder.
6. Finally, sprinkle chocolate chips and chopped nuts into the mixture.
7. Refrigerate in the freezer for at least 30 mins.

Bake It!

1. Preheat the oven 10-15minutes.
2. Bake them at 180Celcius/350F, for around 10-15minutes. Bake longer if you wish to produce a crispier cookie. (Be careful to not over bake it!)
3. There are two ways of placing it on the baking tray. One is rolling them into balls and the other one is just merely shaping them using the fingers. (The latter produced a better texture) :D

4. Remove from oven and let it cool completely on the baking tray. Then, transfer it onto a wire rack for further cooling.

5. Pack/Keep it in a cookie jar/air tight container! Ready to be served! Eat with warm milk, dunk it. Like oreoooo. :D

It Has Its End - Dunya

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Been away for quite some time now. Just a quick share on this heart-touching, full of reminder-song :

Very well stated, this worldly life (dunya) has it end. Do we not remember why are we here, living on Earth? We are here to serve the purpose of life being His servant, and fulfilling our responsibilities as caliph (leader) on Earth. This was why Adam was created and sent down to Earth.

But, never forget this dunya is ending soon, one fine day (Wallahu 'alam, Only He knows when). Our ultimate aim is afterlife (the Akhirat). We all know that being too dunya loving is a "wahan", a disease of loving life and being afraid of death. Are we having this disease? Ask our imaan. =|

Grand de Mosquee Paris, Paris, France. 31st March 2013. :)

Rasulullah (peace be upon him) once said, "The most intelligent person is the one who often remembers death. Constant remembrance of it prevents one from evil and sin and motivates him towards good morals. He said, "The remembrance of death defeats joy."

P/S : Lets always remember to refresh ourselves with things that remind us of the akhirat, avoid being too attached to the worldly life, as it brings more harm than good. InshaaAllah. ;)

14 Rabi'ul 'Akhir

Assalam.

Betapa sekularnya kita sehingga lupa akan kalendar Hijriyah Islam. T.T

Selamat hari lahir kepada saya. Huhu. ;)

Semoga hari-hari yang mendatang dipenuhi dengan hidayahNya. InshaaAllah. :)

P/S : I'm ashamed of myself. ;(

Baby Maryam. ;)

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Today's baby Maryam's 1st birthday! She's finally a year old now! How time had grown with things, huh? :)

May Allah bless you baby Maryam. And may He protect you from evil and let you grow in barakah and rahmah. Hoping greatly that you will be a great muslimah and contribute to the ummah in the future. InshaaAllah. :)

Baby Maryam, loves daddy. :D

I miss my family very much to be honest. Still in plans of not going back this summer, with the thoughts of this as my last summer in Ireland, before I depart back to Malaysia for good. Never know when will I find time to come back to this beautiful, full of courtesy country again. Sobs. :'(

The Sun only shine to whom he wish to shine it upon. Lets pray harder that we will be blessed with His hidayah. :D

"And (had you been present), you would see the sun when it rose, inclining away from their cave on the right, and when it set, passing away from them on the left, while they were (laying) within an open space thereof. That was from the signs of Allah . He whom Allah guides is the (rightly) guided, but he whom He leaves astray - never will you find for him a protecting guide."

[Al-Kahf (18) : 17]

P/S : May these weeks be enlightening to us. Lets be stronger, because things are getting more challenging for everyone, not just yourself. :)

ادع :)

Assalamualaikum wbt.

P/S : Jazakallahu khayr for always being there to remind me about life. Allah sent me something beautiful to be appreciated and inshaaAllah, I will appreciate it very much. ;')

Sabr - Patience ♥

Assalamualaikum wbt.

"And if We give man a taste of mercy from Us and then We withdraw it from him, indeed, he is despairing and ungrateful. But if We give him a taste of favor after hardship has touched him, he will surely say, "Bad times have left me." Indeed, he is exultant and boastful, except for those who are patient and do righteous deeds; those will have forgiveness and great reward." 

Quran [Surah Hud (11) : 9-11]

Allah is The Merciful, never burdening us with things beyond our capabilities. Worry not friends, He knows what's best for us. All we need is tawakkal. All is well, inshaaAllah. :)

One day, inshaaAllah. He will show the right way. ♥

P/S : Fluctuations? A norm. Give out a smile, make a difference. :)

LISTEN!

Assalamualaikum wbt.

This isn't totally related to the current LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN issue in Malaysia. Enough with the viral on Facebook, let it settle for now.

       My intention is to direct you to your own heart. Listen to your heart often! Your heart is your seed of everything in you. Thus, shape it well, clean it everyday, nurture it, take great care of it. Because your heart is where the syaaitan targets upon. To deceive you, to make you go astray. Seek protection from Allah, He is the best protector of all. Allahu Al-Waliy (The Protector).

"And if an evil suggestion comes to you from Satan, then seek refuge in Allah . Indeed, He is Hearing and Knowing." 

[Al'Araf (7) : 200]

SubhanAllah :)

"Find the sweetness in your own heart, that you may find the sweetness in every Heart."

-Rumi-

P/S : Ihsaan. Act good, be good, for Allah is watching what we do every single second. Improvise, do best, be great, contribute! InshaaAllah. :)
