WOW! 2012 : Faith Renewing Experience :')

Bismillahir rahmaanir rahiim.

First and foremost, Alhamdulillah, after being in the technical organising team of WOW! 2012 for more or less 5 months, the programme went WOW-somely! Syukran Ya Allah. :D


   After years of being a participant in various programmes here and there, this year I was placed and provided a chance by Allah to be in the organising team. Indeed, I've learnt a lot in being a facilitator and a committee member. Every experience counts. Indeed! Alhamdulillah. :D

   Frankly speaking, I wasn't having the optimum confidence earlier on in the programme. I actually had thoughts on focusing only on my job in the promotion & multimedia team aka photographing and documentations. Eventually, I managed to pull through, doing partial job for both! Hee. :)

   Not to mention the exhaustion. But, I loved what I was doing, so tiredness wasn't a big matter. DSLR seemed to be an obsession of mine, that never seem to disappear. Once in hands, it's uncontrollable. I'd be glad if you could buy me one for my next birthday. Because, I'm saving up for a car in Taiping, so DSLR would be great in addition to my gadgets. I want a Canon EOS 1100D! No Nikons please, they are super heavy. *exaggerated demands* Hihi. :P


   After all, we are doing this for Allah, aren't we? Constantly, refresh and renew our niyah (intentions), and may Allah bless every niyah we make. Alright, lets stop blabbering and lets get to the main point!

   In 4 days 3 nights, much knowledge were gained and shared. The thing that struck me the most was the knowledge I assumed I had, but in the end, it was never enough. Endless learning process of life! Huh! As of what Allah mentioned in Surah Al-Kahf, Verse 109 :
"Say, "If the sea were ink for [writing] the words of my Lord, the sea would be exhausted before the words of my Lord were exhausted, even if We brought the like of it as a supplement."
    We had talks from Ustaz Hasrizal (Islam Heritage or Choice? & Fiqh Overseas), Ustaz Ridha (The Ambassador), Ustaz Amin (Open Your Eyes), Ustaz Dasuki (Heart Clinic), Brother Shah Kirit (Comparative religion), YB Dr. Halimah Ali (Excellence) and not forgetting the student forum panelists such as Brother Amin, Hazman Baharom (student in University of Manchester), Amalina Zulkiflee (student in University of Southampton). Of course, these are not only the activities in WOW! 2012! :D

   Apart from being briefed in talks about life challenges overseas, students were also exposed to the physical and mental games that involves the fiqhs of travelling. For example, the khuf, the wuduk, the solat, the qiblah, halal and haram foods, and etc. Further more, participants were divided into respective groups that focuses on the places/universities they are heading to, and representatives from each universities shared particularly everything the participants wanted to know about the places they are heading to.

   But, wait a second, what's so WOW about WOW! 2012???

Let the pictures do the talking! :D





Yaya! :D
Ana and Pojah! :D
I adore them much! :')
Kira! :D

Pojah winning Peserta Paling Ceria! :D
WOW-laweh muslimat goes to Mun! :)

Nanad! <3

Yaya and her koala bear :P
Sorry for the disorganized list of pictures. Hope every WOW-ians enjoyed the event to the ultimate utmost of happiness! Insya-Allah. Hope to see each and everyone of you in UK-Eire this September! Don't forget to come over and join PUISI 2012, THE ROAD NOT TAKEN, with the special appearance of Ustaz Hasrizal again! Insya-Allah, I will be there. See ya! :DDD

PUISI 2012, coming soon! :)

P/S : Tiredness did not managed to bring my spirit down. My resolution after this programme is to widen my knowledge and istiqamah in participating in events like this, not forgetting maximising the Holy Ramadhan too! Insya-Allah. Amiin. :D

Sungguh.

Dengan nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah, lagi Maha Penyayang. :)

Sungguh,
Aku lemah.
Berkali-kali diasak bisikan syaitan,
Aku jatuh rebah ke tangan mereka.
Bangkit semula pabila semangat tiba,
namun tersungkur kembali dibuai nikmat dunia.

Sungguh,
Menyangka diriku telah hebat dipersada dunia,
namun aku tiada dimana di mata Dia.
Alangkah baiknya jika hidup dibuai kemewahan,
dunia mahupun akhirat.
Tetapi ku sedar,
pengorbanan ini tidak pernah menjanjikan kemewahan.

Sungguh,
Tangisan demi tangisan,
ketabahan dan keteguhan,
Itu yang kita perlukan,
Bukan hiburan yang memesongkan.

Sungguh,
Jalan ini tidak mudah,
Bukan seperti yang ku sangka.
Kerana jiwa kita,
Harus senantiasa mencari keredhaanNya,
Sentiasa mencari CintaNya.

Sungguh,
Doa demi doa,
Dengan pengharapan yang besar kepadaNya.
Harapan untuk ke Jannah,
Impian yang mungkin tidak tercapai.

Sungguh,
Allahu Allah,
KepadaMu lah tempat aku bergantung,
Dan kepadaMu lah tempat aku meminta pertolongan.


P/S : Guide me through your light Ya Rabb, because I know You will never disappoint me. :''')

Ungrateful monster!

Bismillah.

Today, I discovered the ungratefulness side of me. It's neither a bad thing nor it is good. =/

   I have always envied other people's complete life, but never did I see the "complete"ness of my life in an angle. Baba, mama, I'm so so so sorry. This is a norm of a teenager, always wanted what's perfect for their life, never wanted to give a perfect life to others. Dunya is so deceiving. Allahu. ;(

   Let's reflect upon our hearts. Do we often look too high and never looked down? Be grateful of what you have in life, there are millions of others who doesn't have what you have. ie Palestin, Syria and etc. But this doesn't mean you should not carry out improvements! A reflection of a mirror is all we need. Insya-Allah, may He guide us through this witty place called the dunya. Towards Jannah! Amiin. :)

I missed this place pretty much! :')

P/S : Allah never burdens a person out of his abilities. He is the Almighty, the All Knowing. Allahu 'alam. :)

Sya'aban

Peace be upon you. Assalamualaikum.

Can't sleep, so figured out to write a little via mobile blogger. :)

My stomach is growling like a thunder. Lol. Hungry late at night, or I suppose it's already early in the morning? Haha. The consequences of not finishing my lunch during the day time. Aseef rice, sorry for not finishing you. ;(

Appetite goes haywire, so does my mood. It went worst these few days. I seem to lose control over myself. My nafs is controlling me. Allah, please cleanse all the sins made, and clean my heart. I want to be strong again, to achieve what I've planned to achieve, this summer in this hometown of mine. Astaghfirullahal 'azim. Forgive me Allah. ;(

Anyway, Nifsu Sya'aban is a few days away. Lets appreciate it while it is still here, while we are still breathing. Lets prepare ourselves for the Holy Ramadhan ahead. Insya-Allah. :')

P/S : 6hours bengkel tomorrow, and I'm still not sleeping. I'm gonna sleep in class tomorrow. ;/

Past. Present. Future.

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Just a short update.

Sometimes, we think too much. Too much of our past and future, that we don't live our present life in the best way that we should. Worry too much about what happened, and what's going to happen, but not what's happening. How could life be easy then? Blame ourselves for it.

Let's make it easier, stop being hard on your soul. Live today with Imaan, move on and learn from yesterday, to plan for tomorrow. Insya-Allah. :)



P/S : Allergies over, cough comes. It's a reminder isn't it? :)

AtLast!

Alhamdulillah. Subhanallah.

1. At Last.
       Alhamdulillah. Ahhh, I feel so happy that I'm finally, REALLY enrolled myself in a driving academy. :D *stop that WHAT face! Yes, I know I'm 20 and its NOT too late to get my license done okay :P*

2. AtLast.

       Wonder why the second subtopic is Atlas? My head was just popping out weird things at this point of time (late night). But, this sudden idea came to me to write on the Atlas, the world.

       We all know what an atlas is, right? I pretty sure you do. If not, please use Mr. Google for the most precise answer(s). The word "Atlas" itself means a few different things. In medical terms, the Atlas is the first cervical vertebrae (backbone). My Anatomy lecturer once mentioned that it was named after Atlas, the Greek titan whom supported the globe (myths saying its heaven) with his head, neck and hands. Therefore, it is very closely related to the first cervical vertebrae that functions as the main head-neck supporter. So, that's a brief story related to Atlas. After all, nothing beats the power of Allah the Almighty. Allahu Akhbar!

       Atlas in another context of meaning is commonly known as World Atlas, the world map. So, what's with this world atlas yo? Lets do a tiny elaboration on it, shall we? iA :)


       Lets go straight to the point - Al-Quran. That's our Atlas of all the atlas we have in life as a muslim. What do you want to know about the world? Al-Quran has it.
"(He) Who made the earth a bed for you, and the heaven a roof, and caused water to come down from the clouds and therewith brought forth fruits for your sustenance; so do not set up equals to ALLAH, while you know." Surah Al-Baqarah (2) : 22

About the moon and the Sun? Al-Quran has it.
"It is He who made sun a lamp, and moon a light and measured stages so you know number of years and count (of time)." Surah Yunus (10) : 5

What else do the Quran not have? Just say what you want, Quran is the Atlas of Life. Masya-Allah. :D


P/S : Irritated eyes for almost a week now. Can't stop rubbing my eyes every second. Red eyes, non-stop tears filling my eyes. Oh lysozyme don't seem to cure it, nor did Eye More. Kaffarah dosakah Ya Allah? Astaghfirullahal 'azim. ;(

Earthly Realities

Bismillahirahmannirrahim.

Been away from blogging for almost a month to date. Alhamdulillah, Thank Allah for still providing the strength and the heart to brainstorm-write. :)

       So, guess what? I'm home, I'm back in Ampang! :D

3 of 4 of FiFi's kittens. :3
Everything was so exciting at first, but as days passed by (I've only been home for a week) and everything seems to be just saddening. This Malaysian community gave me a "culture shock". It's not like I'm not used to be in such surroundings since I grew up, but it's such a shock to return from a non-muslim country (a non-comfort zone) to a muslim country "by name" (a total comfort zone). I don't think I should further elaborate on the term "by name", you should be clear if you've read and seen enough of your beloved country. Heh. No offense. :)

       Many would say, don't complain too much, stop whining and do your part instead. And my response would be, Complaint and be the change! Nothing is wrong with complaining, if you really want something to change. Complain and action, must come tagging along together. In this point of view, I see ideas coming from the youths as constructive criticisms. The world will be in the hands of the next generation, so lets make our du'a that we, the younger generations, could be the best among the best of the world leaders to guide the people of the nation to taste our beautiful Deen of Islam. Insya-Allah. :)

       Ireland was after all a dock, where we stop to refuel and do a muhasabah on ourselves before we depart back to our homeland, to bring in changes, and next to Yammul Mashyar, where we meet our Rabb. Do we not want to meet Him? I want to! ;)

J.Co! One of the first thing I wanted to have always in KL. ;D
       That's all for today. Insya-Allah will do a follow up post on my trip to Eastern Europe. ;)


P/S : Ya Rabb, give me strength. Let me hold on tight to this path. Do not let me stray, for You are the Almighty, the One. I pray for all of us. Allahu Akhbar! :)

Ego.

Assalamualaikum wbt. May Allah shower blessings today and the next coming days. :)

To every person that knows this full-of-flaws girl :


Forgive me if my ego overrides me all my life.
Forgive me if my sense of superiority takes over me.
Forgive me if my heart changes constantly.
Forgive me if my attitude fails you tragically.
Forgive me if my stubborn self makes me wanna rant.
Forgive me if my uttered words seems so unintelligent.
Forgive me if my whole life had affected yours.

Cause Allah made my destiny the way it is. All I hope from you is to remind me always.


HasbunAllah wa Ni'mal Wakil. 
Allah Alone is Sufficient for us, and He is the Best Disposer of affairs for us. :')


P/S : Ego yang meninggi, sangkakan pemilik diri, walhal kekerdilan memakan diri. Yes, memakan diriku. Astaghfirullahal 'azim.

Spring is still here! :D

Assalamualaikum wbt.

So, Respiratory System module is off the list! Alhamdulillah. I could really feel less burdened now. Phewww! All we must do now is pray hard, leave everything to Allah swt. For He is The All Knowing of what's best for us. Bismillahi tawakkaltu 'alallah. Insya-Allah. ;)

   The after Respi syndrome? Salthill visit, yeah! Couldn't resist to jog in the beautiful weather today. I just miss Salthill too much. Hehe. Apparently, the spring season isn't over yet. 'Cause the flowers are blooming fantastically under the Sunlight. Subhanallah. :DDD






P/S : One more module paper to go and we're done. Praying hard that I would hit over every target I've lined out for the semester and year! Insya-Allah. May Allah grant my du'a.  AND! I am also missing Ger so so so badly. Come home Ger. ='(

Assalamualaikum wbt. 早安!

       不知为何我突然想写个华文post 啊。 也许因为很久没空闲写而读些华文文章了。现在是考试中最后两个科目。希望我能考过这一段路。Insya-Allah. :)

Rapuh ='(

Detik waktu terus berjalan
Berhias gelap dan terang
Suka dan duka
Tangis dan tawa
Tergores bagai lukisan

Seribu mimpi berjuta sepi
Hadir bagai teman sejati
Di antara lelahnya jiwa
Dalam resah dan air mata
Ku persembahkan kepadaMu
Yang terindah dalam hidupku

Meski ku rapuh dalam langkah
Kadang tak setia kepadaMu
Namun cinta dalam jiwa
Hanyalah padaMu

Maafkanlah bila hati
Tak sempurna mencintaiMu
Dalam dada ku harap hanya
Dirimu yang bertakhta

Detik waktu terus berlalu
Semua berakhir padaMu

-Opick-

P/S : Sungguh aku rapuh dalam perjalanan ini. Kuatkanlah hatiku Ya Allah. Kurniakan hati yang tsabat, jauhkan futur. ='(

May May May

Assalamualaikum wbt, dear readers.

It's MAY already. YEAY! :D

       Currently I am busy with EVERYTHING. Studies, Exams, Life, People, Work, and etc. Managing my time for every bit that comes into my life. Aiming for Jannah. Jannah. Jannah! Allahu Allah. Remind me when I'm not on track, remind me when something good happens, remind me about You always. I ♥ ALLAH! Allahu Akhbar!

       I refuse to blog about Bersih 3.0. I ought to view it from a wide perspective. That bigger scope is the most important part of life. May Allah ease our journey throughout life. Let this be a reminder to myself and people around me, that Allah sends us to be khalifah on planet Earth, to be the guide to ourselves and be the guide for the ummah. Cleanse our niah (intention) constantly. Muhasabah muhasabah(self-reflect)! :)


Allah mentioned in Surah Al-Baqarah(2), ayah 30 :
"And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." They said, "Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and sanctify You?" Allah said, "Indeed, I know that which you do not know."

Anyways, I'm loving these two songs. Do hear them. MUST okay! Teehee. :D




P/S : Not saying that I'm on the fence (atas pagar. LOL!), but you must be having your own initiative to seek for the truth behind everything. I would love to be a friend that reminds, but you decide your actions. Wallahu 'alam. He knows best. ;)

Alkisah pertandingan tarik tali.

Bismillahir rahmanir rahim. Assalamualaikum wbt.

Baiklah. Hari ini kita akan berbicara menggunakan bahasa ibunda kita, iaitu bahasa kebangsaan atau ianya lebih dikenali dengan Bahasa Melayu, segelintir masyarakat sudah memulai membahasakannya sebagai Bahasa Malaysia. Terpulanglah kepada individu. Tetapi bagi ana, istilah Bahasa Melayu itu lebih sesuai diguna, bagi melambangkan bahasa ciptaan/milik orang Melayu, sebagaimana Bahasa Tamil dan Bahasa Cina dikategorikan. :)

"Like a rope pulling contest. When both sides have the equal amount of strength, the force of tension on the rope will eventually split it apart. And there it goes, disconnection between both the sides. But, each gets only half. So, when will it ever be a rope of full length again? Never. Wanna stay united? Stop pulling and be on one side instead!"

      Jika ramai yang mengutarakan pandangan tentang kisah kebanggaan keMelayuan mereka, ana ingin menyentuh sedikit sebanyak mengenai perkara-perkara tersebut. Mungkin ramai yang telah melabelkan ana sebagai Melayu celup ataupun "Melayu yang tak Melayu sangat". Mengapa? Kerana ana tidak bersemangat Melayu berkobar-kobar seperti mereka?? Tidak sama sekali. Memang, ana bukan 100% Melayu. Dan ana tidak pula menyatakan perasaan bangga ana untuk tidak dilahirkan sebagai bukan 100% Melayu, kerana bagi ana lahir dalam Islam, agama yang syumul itu lebih patut dibanggakan daripada dilahirkan dalam bangsa Melayu kah, Cina kah, India kah, Korea kah, Arab kah, Eropah kah dan seterusnya kah...(endless races in the world. LOL.)

      Kini kita dapat lihat, ramai yang suka mempertahankan hak keistimewaan Melayu di tanah air kita. Ana tidak menafikan bahawa bangsa Melayu memang merupakan pendekar-pendekar utama yang telah berjuang untuk tanah air kita dari zaman Kesultanan Melayu Melaka lagi. Dan dalam buku-buku teks Sejarah di bangku sekolah, kita dapat lihat, ramai pejuang-pejuang tanah air adalah di kalangan berbangsa Melayu. Ya tepat. Tetapi, adakah buku-buku teks kita pernah menekankan tentang sejarah perjuangan menegakkan agama Islam? Oh tidak dapat ana kesan pula. Mungkin kerana inilah, pelajar-pelajar bersifat lebih menekankan "Melayu bangsa dijulang". Pada hakikatnya, semua bangsa sepatutnya diraikan. Tiada pula surah atau ayat di dalam Al-Quran yang menyatakan tentang betapa mulianya bangsa Melayu itu.  Kalau jumpa, bagitau lah ana je. Selamat taddabur Al-Quran. :)

      Bagi ana, Islam itu yang sebenar-benarnya mengangkat darjat sesuatu bangsa. Contohnya seperti bangsa Arab, yang dimuliakan Allah dengan kedatangan Islam, telah menghakis akhlak-akhlak jahiliyyah dan membawa akidah Islamiah. Memetik ucapan Saidina Umar Al-Khattab, “Kami adalah kaum yang Allah muliakan dengan Islam. Jika kami mencari kemuliaan dengan selain Islam, Allah akan menghinakan kami”. Di sini, kita dapat lihat bahawa tiada bangsa yang mulia, jika Islam tidak datang memuliakannya. Oleh itu, muliakah bangsa Melayu tanpa Islam??

      Seringkali, ramai yang menyentuh tentang isu peluang pendidikan dan ekonomi melalui hak keistimewaan orang Melayu. Topik ini agak sensitif untuk dibicarakan (disebabkan ianya berada dalam perlembagaan, so....?) , tetapi ana mahu juga mengutarakan pendapat ana setelah sekian lama memendam idea. Pernah ana berdebat dengan ramai orang, termasuklah facilitator BTN ana sendiri (habislah kalau Abg Man baca). Isu biasiswa dan hak keistimewaan orang Melayu. Ya, ana tahu, jika bukan kerana adanya kuota untuk pelajar Melayu, mungkin, MUNGKIN, ana dan kawan-kawan sebangsa ana tidak akan mendapat peluang seBESAR ini untuk melanjutkan pelajaran ke luar negara atas ihsan biasiswa. Tapi, kita siapa hendak menentukan nasib dan takdir? Tuhankah kita?

      Adilkah dengan mewujudkan kuota ini, yang sangat sangat sangat menyekat perolehan bantuan kewangan bagi melanjutkan pelajaran bagi mereka yang berbangsa bukan Melayu? Ana telah berkawan, bersahabat dengan pelajar-pelajar bukan Melayu sepanjang tempoh ana bersekolah. Ana bersekolah di sekolah Cina dari Darjah satu hingga Tingkatan 5. Maka, dengan ini mungkin anda akan mengatakan, "Ahhh inilah sebabnya dia tak Melayu langsung, patutlah, tak berbudaya Melayu." Satu respons sahaja dari ana : "Perghhh!" Tetapi itulah manusia, bersikap judgmental. Lumrah? Mungkin lumrah Melayu. LOL. *no offense* Buat pengetahuan saudara-saudari yang dirahmati Allah, ana dilahirkan dengan fikrah Islam, keluarga ana Islam, berbudaya, bertutur bahasa Melayu. Tetapi budaya Melayu tidak pernah ditekankan didalam keluarga, kerana ayah ana tidak melatih kami untuk menjadi Melayu, tetapi untuk menjadi Muslim. :)

      Okay. Berbalik kepada ceritera biasiswa. Ramai kawan-kawan ana yang mendapat keputusan cemerlang dalam SPM, tetapi dalam sekolah ana, hanya ana seorang sahaja yang mendapat biasiswa kerajaan. Mengapa? Sebab ana berketurunan Melayu dalam IC, dan kawan-kawan yang bukan berketurunan Melayu  harus bertarung, eh, berlumba-lumba, eh, ber-compete, untuk placing biasiswa yang sangat sedikit. Walaupun results mereka gempak!? Lebih gempak berbanding ana dan kawan-kawan ana yang telah fly barangkali. Dan ini dikatakan adil? Alasan yang ana selalu dengar adalah : Bangsa mereka sudah kaya, tidak perlu disponsor lagi, Melayu masih perlukan bantuan kerajaan. Hakikatnya, penyumbang cukai pendapatan tertinggi di Malaysia adalah bukan Melayu! Disini ternyata dengan jelasnya, bangsa kita sangat dependent kepada bantuan dan subsidi kerajaan. Dan kini, ana lihat, jika bantuan dikurangkan sedikit, akan ada pihak yang melatah sini sana, memperjuangkan "hak keistimewaan" mereka. Dari sini lah kita boleh lihat, mengapa Melayu itu masih ketinggalan. Kurangnya semangat kompetitif dan banyak bergantung kepada pihak kerajaan! Sepanjang ana berpendidikan sekolah Cina, semangat kompetitif lah yang telah disuntikkan. Alhamdulillah, ana sangat bersyukur kerana telah berpeluang untuk berada di dalam persekitaran yang sedemikian, yang telah menjadikan ana seorang yang banyak bergantung kepada usaha, doa dan berkat dari Allah Ta'ala.

      Dan dengan sikap sedemikianlah, ekonomi kita, orang Islam, masih tidak dapat menandingi mereka! Ponder upon it. Ana tidak menuding jari ke arah pihak mana-mana ke atas isu ini, kerana ini takdir Allah bukan? Cuma yang ingin ana tekankan ialah, marilah berfikiran terbuka, bersikap adil, bersikap independent dan rely fully on Allah. Kita tidak layak merampas hak orang lain walau mereka tidak sefikrah agama sekalipun. Rasulullah tidak pernah menindas kaum bukan Arab atau Yahudi sekalipun di zaman kerajaan Madinah, bukan? Sungguh, Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang dilangit, dibumi dan di antara kedua-duanya. Allahu 'alam. :)

"Wahai umat manusia! Sesungguhnya Kami telah menciptakan kamu dari lelaki dan perempuan dan Kami telah menjadikan kamu berbagai bangsa dan bersuku puak, supaya kamu berkenal-kenalan (dan beramah mesra antara satu dengan yang lain). Sesungguhnya semulia-mulia kamu di sisi Allah ialah orang yang lebih takwanya di antara kamu, (bukan yang lebih keturunan atau bangsanya). Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui, lagi Maha Mendalam PengetahuanNya (akan keadaan dan amalan kamu)."  Al-Quran [Al-Hujuraat (49) : 13]

      Segala pendapat, buah fikiran, idea dan sebagainya amatlah dialu-alukan. Silakan. Mari kita menjadi mahasiswa yang berfikir, PEDULI, dan bukan mahasiswa yang "lembu" atau "kambing" atau ayam pun bolehhh. Maaf andai post ini agak panjang dan provokatif. Ini dari kata hati dan akal yang sedang membara inginkan keadilan di bumi. Hablum Minallah, Hablum Minannas. Jagalah hubungan dengan Allah, dan juga jagalah hubungan sesama manusia. Semoga diberkati Allah. ;)



P/S : Instead of emphasizing about our race, lets think about spreading the religion and words of Allah to people around us. Dengan Islam yang syumul itulah, akan tertegaknya keadilan dan segala kebaikan di bumi ini. Islam is the way of life, it's our DEEN! Masya-Allah. :')

Marah? Supress it!

Assalamulaikum wbt. :)

Ever felt angry and wanna let it off to someone or something? Felt like screaming your lungs off at the edge of the cliff? Here's the solution to all that! :D

Shared by a lovely sister from Cork on my Facebook status, a real great reminder! Masya-Allah.

Doa Menghilangkan Rasa Marah :

A’uzubillahi minasy syaitanir rajimi. Allahummagfirli zanbi wazhab gaiza qalbi wa ajirni minasy syaitanir rajimi.
Ertinya: “Aku berlindung kepada Allah dari godaan syaitan yang terkutuk. Ya Allah, ampunilah dosaku dan hilangkanlah kepanasan hatiku dan lepaskanlah aku dari gangguan syetan yang terkutuk.”

Doa Menghadapi Orang Sedang Marah :
La ilaha illallahul halimul hakimu, subhanallahi rabbus samawatis sab’a wa rabbul ‘arsyil ‘azimi, la ilaha illa anta ‘azza jaruka wa jalla sana’uka.

Ertinya: “Tiada Tuhan melainkan Allah yang Maha Kasih Yang lagi Maha Bijaksana, Maha suci Allah Tuhan yang memelihara tujuh langit dan yang memelihara ‘arsy yang besar tiada Tuhan melainkan Engkau, sangat kuat perlindungan-Mu dan Maha tinggi perlindungan-Mu.”

Doa Menjauhkan Permusuhan :


Allahumma la tusymit bi ‘adwwi wa la tasu’ubi sadiqi wa la taj’al musibati fi dini wa la taj’alid dunya akbara hami wa la tusallit ‘alayya man la yarhamuni ya hayyu ya qayyumu.

Ertinya: “Ya Allah, janganlah jadikan musuhku gembira kerana kesusahanku, dan janganlah jadikan temanku membuat kejahatan terhadapku dan janganlah jadikan kemalanganku dalam urusan agamaku dan janganlah jadikan kepentingan dunia menjadi pusat perhatianku dan janganlah jadikan orang yang tidak berbelas kasihan bermaharaja-lela atasku, wahai Tuhan yang hidup yang berdiri sendiri.”


P/S : Hidup penuh dengan pancaroba, kita hanya hamba Allah yang kerdil lagi bergelumang dosa, moga Allah mengampuni dosa-dosa kita dan moga kita istiqamah dalam usaha bertaubat. Mari SUPRESS ANGER! :D

Poster spirit!

Assalamualaikum wbt.

So, what is this week's progress?

   Nothing extraordinary, except for the fact that I had Renal MCQ Final Exam on Friday and the days in the week was definitely "filled" with lecture notes and textbook piling up on my table. Alhamdulillah, I'm grateful to still have the time and the blessed ability to learn. Syukran Ya Rabb. :D

   Anyway, apart from being all nerdy this week, I still had time to design posters, I mean, A LOT OF POSTERS on A LOT OF TRIAL BASIS. I did not realise since when I picked up this hobby of editing pictures and videos for leisure purposes. Hope this would benefit myself and people around me. Insya-Allah. Afterall, everything we do is for Allah, right? Literally, everything. :)

Enjoy understanding this Hadith-Poster : 



P/S : Tomorrow will be back on study mode, preparing for the next paper - GIT! Insya-Allah. ;)

Quick break!

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Just a quick break from those lecture slides.

FORMULA 1

Despite of Seb's rough early races in this new 2012 GP's season, I still am a BIG FAN of Seb! ;D

Of time restrictions, I missed all three races in Australian GP, Malaysian GP and last week's China GP. Next would be in Bahrain, and again, because of the final exams, I will miss the next coming races until the end of May. ;(

P/S : I love F1, but that doesn't mean I'm obsessed with the sports. This is a hobby of mine, that takes away those tensions and bring about passion in me. And of course this comes second after the rememberance of Allah swt. ;D

Lillahi Ta'ala

Bismillahir-Rahmannir-Rahim. In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Compassionate.

Haven't had time to blog. Exams and bla bla bla. Ah, excuses! Where there's a will, there's a way! Make time, you lazy writer! Grrrr.

Fine.

   Time is too precious to waste, especially in this tertiary education level a.k.a. the university life. To make it sound more horrific, being a medical student, where life begins to become more "interesting". Hmmm. People may wonder, where had your time gone to? You go through the same routine as everybody does. You sleep, you eat, you study, you pray, you play and etc. What is there so different about you, for you to complain about not having enough time of 24 hours a day? Ah, typical homosapien, that's what we always do. Complain!

   Yes, we are in the state of feeling insufficient all the time. But you know what? Allah did mentioned in the Holy Quran about time :

"By time. Indeed, mankind is in loss. Except for those who have believed and done righteous deeds and advised each other to truth and advised each other to patience." [Al-'Asr (103) : 1-3]

    We all know this earthly life is just a dock or rather should I say, a shipping port, where our souls are temporarily docking, seeking for the Awesome-est eternal life in the hereafter, aiming high for Jannah (heaven). And much of our time, I must admit, mine too, are displayed of being invested on the Earth solely. Do we not listen and read and understand the words of Allah? We are sent down on Earth to be caliphs, to carry out our duties as the humble servants of Allah the Almighty, to worship Him, to seek His blessings.

   Hope at least a little of these small words from me could bring benefit. Insya-Allah.

Before I end this short message of mine, lets watch an inspiration video on Life. ;D


"The purpose of Life is to discover your gift, 
The meaning of Life is to give your gift away. 
The place you are in,
Needs you today."

Masya-Allah. ;)


P/S : Tangled mind filled with worries of the exam. Bittaufiq wannajah, friends! May Allah ease our days ahead! Amiin. ;)

Evaluate.

Assalamulaikum wbt. Bismillahirrahmannirrahim. :)

Three awesome days in a row!

Just finished having the big Galway event - PASAR MALAM GALWAY! Woohoo. Alhamdulillah. Glad that everything went well. AZZURO won the decoration category! *I decorated it :P*



   Friday marked the last day of the Anatomy Laboratory Spot Test and on the night itself, traveled to Dublin to board the early morning flight to Birmingham, headed to University of Warwick for SMILE! And just got back in Galway today at 2.30am, and tadaaa Pasar Malam at 2pm. Allah gave me strength despite the flu, cough and fever I had during the journey. Alhamdulillah, praise Allah the Almighty, Allahu Akhbar. May Allah bless us and let us be strong all throughout our life! Insya-Allah. :D


What's SMILE all about? Lets elaborate on it, should we? :)

   First of all, SMILE is an abbreviation for "Spring Moment with ILuvIslam" (don't ask where the E comes from. Haha. xD). This spring, the theme was :"Islamic Malaysia, Hope or Harm?". Prof. Dr. MAZA and a few more other well known individuals were present at the forum. It was a really interactive and professionally conducted session, filled with freshly generated ideas and thoughts. I really respected the speakers and the audiences of their professional attitude. I wish all the Malaysians both the overseas and local people could have this kind of conversation under one roof. =/

   The main discussion was, the idea of Malaysia being implemented towards a more Islamic approach and thoughts about both the parties, UMNO and PAS in Malaysia. From what I've chipped from their shared thoughts, implementing an Islamic country isn't an impossible thing, rather it is the way it should be. From the history of the Islamic empire back then, even from Rasulullah s.a.w. building Madinah, we could see that an Islamic country would not and should not be only for muslims, its for everyone, including the non-muslims. Where else should we learn to build a great nation if not from Rasulullah? Islam is the way of life, the best way of living! :D

   People always would want to avoid talking about leadership issues and political issues of our country. Why? Because they aren't open-minded enough to accept critics. Critics or in other word, feedbacks, are to me the most essential component of life. Without these elements, we can't ever possibly achieve excellence or to a more extreme term, PERFECTION. :D

Forget about racism, forget about your cultural importance, forget about your race, forget about being selfish, we are all human, we are MUSLIMS, we should bring ISLAM to the top.

   Being open-minded is not only being tolerance, it's a whole lot more than that! I really dislike it when people are so pro-race and they forget about the more important part of them, which is ISLAM. Yes, being in a race, having and practicing the culture of the race we are born in is not wrong at all, but once it is more superior than the Islamic culture, to me, it is no good anymore. It should be left, immediately.

   Be open-minded. We are professional and highly educated people, we can control our emotions and think rationally. We are big enough to evaluate our own country. Change it or shape it. Your choice. :D



P/S : We either make a change or wait for the change to come. You either wait for the last train or you join the early train. The earlier the better. Heee. Jzzk. :)

Spring is Here!

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Been away from blogging for more than a week! Blame the books and tests for it. :P

Anyway, the chilly, sunny SPRING is HERE! Subhanallah! You can't imagine how happy and excited the people here are celebrating the sunshine at the beach and on the bed of grass. I've had enough of the winter season in Galway, Ireland. This is the time to enjoy ourselves under the Sun (despite the Spot Tests this week :P).

   Here are a few pictures of the bright sunlight! Enjoy and don't forget to appreciate the sunlight in your place, wherever you are. :D







Okay, that's it for today! Have to get back to my studies. Hee. May Allah ease me, my friends, and all the people who are having their exams/tests all throughout this month. Insya-Allah.

P/S : Salthill is where the heart is. :D

Blessed Friendship. :)

Assalamualaikum wbt, dear readers.

The ukhuwah (friendship ties) is totally priceless. Money can't buy it, literally.

   Yes, friends often share their joy and sorrow. But, what makes us a good friend to our friends?
One companion asked Rasulullah (saw), “Who can be my best friend?” Rasulullah (saw) answered, “Your best friend is a person : When you see him, he makes you remember Allah; when you listen to him, knowledge of Islam is increased; and when you see his actions, you are reminded of the life of the Hereafter.”
The answer is as above. :D


   Although our ukhuwah never had reached the level of perfectness, it actually meant a lot as it is now. I'm grateful that Allah has sent me the right and the wrong people in this life. Every single person I've known had taught me much about life. Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah. =')

Rasulullah (saw) taught his companions by saying, “Shall I tell you a thing by which you can obtain good in this world and the Hereafter?” Be with the assemblies of those who remember Allah (swt). Be busy in remembrance of Allah (swt) when you are alone. Be in the gatherings wherein knowledge of Islam and Qur’an is taught. Be with those whose love is for the sake of Allah (swt). Be with those whose dislike is for the sake of Allah (swt).

P/S : Lets be super cool friends! Lets remind the people around us of Allah, and also a reminder for ourselves! Masya-Allah. :D

Family!

Assalamualaikum wbt.

I'm sure everyone loves their family to the top of their hearts. Me too!!! =')

After Allah SWT and Rasulullah SAW, to me, my family comes right after. No other human being could understand me better than my lovely family members. My mum, my dad, my sisters, my brothers. Never did I appreciate them when I was home in Malaysia. Separated by continents, now only I started to realize how much they meant to me. And how much love had they pour onto me. I miss them. Yes, all of them, including my cats. ='(



Semoga Allah memanjangkan umur kita untuk memanfaatkan masa di dunia ini. Menyiapkan diri bagi menempuhi kehidupan yang lebih kekal dan lebih lengkap di akhirat nanti. Insya-Allah. Amin, amin, amin, Ya-Rabbal al-amin. Sememangnya menitiskan air mata kerana manusia adalah sia-sia, tetapi menitiskan air mata kerana cinta dan kasih sayang kita pada insan yang lain kerana Allah Ta'ala adalah pahala. Menangislah, kerana sesungguhnya tangisan itu amat berharga. Subhanallah. :')


P/S : Homesick! Hold on, 2 more months. Be patient please, Aisha! T-T

A Better Us

Assalamualaikum wbt.

How are your imaan doing, friends? I hope it is in its perfect condition. Insya-Allah. Amin. :D

Haven't had time to sit down, collect and express words on the blog. May Allah bless our efforts of filling our lives with useful knowledge. Tarbiyyah, the school of nurturing oneself. May Allah bless our efforts. Insya-Allah. Lets change our habits. Leave all those "black" dots in our hearts and clean it constantly, with knowledge, the most important thing in building a newer, a better us. :)

   Too much to describe. Lets just share this little cute picture I made using Kak Lin's iPad. Weee! iPad okay! :P


   Allah did not created us to be just a stagnant creature who does not move, static of its position as a tree. Lol. Constant changes must be achieved at least everyday. This may sound a little hyperbolic, but you do change everyday, seriously. Do an observation on yourself from now on. Keep track of your changes. Insya-Allah, with God's willing, that everyday changes will bring a whole newer, and better you. Amin. :)
P/S : May Allah ease the changes I chose to be in. Insya-Allah. :)

Lets be Queens of Islam. :D

Assalamualaikum wbt.



Masya-Allah. There's so much I must do to change. We all love Allah do we? Lets be Queens of Islam! Insya-Allah. :)



P/S : A change is hard, but with determination, we can do it! Insya-Allah. Amin. =')

Inguinal Canal.

Assalamualaikum wbt.

I know the title is weird. Unusual. Never talked about anatomy in my blog so far ( have I?).

   So, what's up with the catchy anatomical title there, Aisha? Nothing. Just a random name I thought I'd give to the post title today. Just to make sure I'm still in the Anatomy mode of studying. LOL.


The inguinal canal is a canal where the spermatic cord (male) or round ligament (female) passes through. It extends from the deep inguinal ring to the superficial inguinal ring.

My point here is to relate the "inguinal canal" closely to our life. How is that so?

   It's a canal, it's like a transition zone. What's our canal then? Life, exactly! Life is a transition zone we go through before heading to the hereafter(akhirat). Canals are always surrounded by walls. Superior, inferior, anterior and posterior walls. So is life. We are surrounded by so many things, that we sometimes aren't aware of its existence. We tend to focus on the things ahead of us, thus neglecting other important matters on the other 3 corners.

   Life goes on. Do you care about your life's "canal"? Take note of the people around you. Observe them, talk to them, help them. Wallahu 'alam.

“With every hardship there is ease, with every hardship there is ease.”  Quran (94:5-6)

P/S : Stopped to ponder upon life. Yes, time is such a short time, but life goes to waste if you don't make use of everything Allah has gifted to you in life. ;)

Apologies.


A million apologies to everyone for not having time to engage in any form of long term conversation. I'm so sad that I don't even have time to throw myself in a chit-chat session with my family, my friends, and the people around me. I'm time-deprived. Time envies me. =(

A gazillion apologies to everyone for not spending much attention to my surroundings. Hectic-ness had got me going out and about. May Allah still grant us time to organize our life. After all, this dunya isn't all about studying and working, there are a whole lot of things apart from these items. Carry out Ibadah. Do things for the sake of Allah. Insya-Allah. May Allah grant us barakah. Insya-Allah. Tsabat. Stay strong, hold on tight, Aisha. :D

Allah does not charge a soul except [with that within] its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned. "Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred. Our Lord, and lay not upon us a burden like that which You laid upon those before us. Our Lord, and burden us not with that which we have no ability to bear. And pardon us; and forgive us; and have mercy upon us. You are our protector, so give us victory over the disbelieving people."  [Al-Baqarah : 286] 

P/S : Experiences teaches you a lot. Appreciate every bit of Allah's gift. =')

Have you ever felt sad?

Assalamualaikum! :D

Human and emotions. Never will be separated. Allah has created us mankind, as a creature full of emotions. My dad once said, females use 90% emotions, and 10% of intellectual in their life. And males use 90% intellectual and only 10% of emotions in life. Thus, that is why the male species is far more suitable to lead in any situation. This was based on some research he read through. Wallahu 'alam.

   When I come to think of it, certainly, no doubt, it's true. I'm not being sexist at all. Lets put down our ego and agree on this.

"Butterflies. Beautiful, yet fragile. So are women."

   Girls/females do really have fluctuating emotions. They may seem tough outside, but they are as fragile as a glass in the inside. I couldn't agree more on this. Because, I'm always weak in managing my emotions. Often do I break down in tears. Mainly because of little stress/pressure I received. BUT! This does not indicate that females are weak. They are the strongest in fact! :D

   Imagine a mother carrying a fetus in her womb, do you how heavy that is? And how much pain do mothers go through during labor? It was said that labor pain is the closest pain to death during death. Wallahu 'alam. That is how strong and noble mothers are. Appreciate your mother. I love my mum! ;D

   Anyway, sadness come and go. So does happiness. My theory of sadness is happiness. When you are at your very bad state of mind, you tend to be such pessimist, that not even the best advice could help elevate your mood. After every sadness, Allah always sends lotsa lotsa lotsa great things for us. Always. Insya-Allah. When we are sad, lonely, solo, forever alone, and etc (LOL!), we are actually far more closer to Him. Sadness is happiness. Sadness brings us closer to Him, sadness draws us back to Him. Because we know, there's no one, except Allah that heals, that listens, that solves and does everything for our own good. He is the ultimate One. Allahu Akhbar. :)

P/S : Thank you Allah, for dipping me into these thoughts. SubhanAllah. =')

Monolog Dalaman.

Assalam. :)

Just a quick share.

Hadis 40 : Dunia adalah Jambatan Akhirat
"Daripada Ibnu Umar r.a. berkata Rasulullah s.a.w. memegang bahuku dan bersabda, 'Jadilah kamu di dunia seperti orang asing atau penyeberang jalan.' Ibnu Umar r.a. berkata, 'Jika kamu berada di petang hari, jangan menunggu pagi, dan jika kamu di pagi hari, jangalah menunggu petang, ambillah persiapan saat kamu sihat. Untuk menghadapi masa sakitmu dan saat hidupmu untuk sesudah kematianmu."
(Hadis Riwayat Bukhari)
Ingat 5 perkara, sebelum lima perkara :

  • Hidup sebelum mati.
  • Kaya sebelum miskin.
  • Lapang sebelum sempit.
  • Sihat sebelum sakit.
  • Muda sebelum tua.

Sesungguhnya, dunia ini sementara. Akhirat itu kekal. Maka, kejarlah yang kekal, bukan yang sementara. Dunia ini umpama tempat persinggahan kita untuk mencari bekalan untuk hari akhirat nanti (The Day of Judgement). Saya pasti, setiap orang pasti mendambakan taman syurga sebagai tempat perlabuhan terakhir mereka. Justeru itu, haruslah kita membina kapal yang paling kukuh bagi membolehkan dambaan tersebut tercapai. Kapal yang bukan hanya mampu membolehkan kita berlayar seorang, akan tetapi sebuah kapal bahtera yang mampu menampung orang-orang di sekeliling kita, terutama sekali keluarga dan sahabat handai yang tercinta. Insya-Allah. Kekuatan itu datang dari Allah. May Allah bless.

Ingatlah wahai teman, masa itu emas. Hargailah setiap detik masa yang ada. Insya-Allah, infaqkanlah apa yang ada di jalan Allah. Moga setiap sesuatu yang diberi, dikurniakan keredaan dari Allah. Wallahu 'alam. :)

Concise.

♥ Assalam. How's life, peeps? Great? Alhamdulillah. :)

Hectic week. Busyness had got me going nuts. Okay, not nuts, just a little tiring. :P

    Balancing. The Act of Balancing. They sounded the same, don't they? Perhaps yea. Juggling between things. Studies. Work. Play. Rest. Simple aren't they? But, only God knows how they could become complicated. Wallahu 'alam. =S

   Guess what? My parents came last week. Hee. More less reduced my homesickness. Alhamdulillah. :D Went about Connemara and etc. Let the pictures describe it all. ;)










   Also, I had the Malaysian Cultural Day last Thursday in Aras Na McLeinn, NUI, Galway. It went fantastically well. Thanks to everyone for co-operating! I just love it when the ukhuwah goes well between all. Alhamdulillah. May Allah prolong our ukhuwah. :)

Studies? Don't you worry. I'm trying my best to juggle between things to carry out my duty as His slave. Doing my best. Trying hard. Pushing myself out of my comfort zone. Constantly. For my own good. =')
ÙˆَÙ…َا Ø®َÙ„َÙ‚ْتُ الْجِÙ†َّ ÙˆَالْØ¥ِÙ†ْسَ Ø¥ِÙ„َّا Ù„ِÙŠَعْبُدُونِ
“Dan tidaklah Aku ciptakan jin dan Manusia melaikan untuk beribadah kepadaku”.
(And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship Me.)
[Adz Dzariyat [51] : 56].
Fardu 'Ain and Fardu Kifayah. Both have great importance in our life. But, do we know what they really mean?

   First of all, as we all know, Fardu 'Ain is something we (every muslim) must (wajib) do in our life. i.e. : Shalat, Fasting during Ramadhan and etc. Meanwhile, Fardu Kifayah is a must for only part of the community. i.e. : Doing business, Being leaders, doctors, study and etc. But sometimes, little things such as resting could become fardu kifayah too, you know. For example, going for a walk/jog too could be fardu kifayah. Think! If our intention was to make ourselves healthier, to relax ourselves for the sake of Allah, then it becomes fardu kifayah. If it was for the sake of our own pleasure, then it is totally not kifayah at all. As we become healthier, "emotionally" fit, thus we would have the strength to continue our daily chores, giving da'wah to people, continuing our jihad in our studies. Doesn't that make sense? Hee. The most important thing is our intention (Niat). Everything depends on it. SubhanAllah.:)

   To wrap things up, personally, I really see a lot of changes since I first came here in Galway. May Allah give us tsabat and istiqamah in our life. Lets get to know more about Islam. By the way, Happy Maulidur Rasul. I just wish I could meet Rasulullah. ='( Lets salawat.

P/S : Exhaustion does not bring one down. Instead, it drags one's spirit to go fuming up high. Insya-Allah. Don't give up on yourself! Tsabat, tsabat. :)
