Malunya!

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.
*puh puuuhhhh, tiup habuk kat blog ni*
Alhamdulillah Allah masih panjangkan umur kita semua.
last post bln feb 2012, dah nak masuk setahun tak update. =.=
buat new post pulak bila lusa ade exam Parasitology. eh sempat?
(mohon doakan kejayaan sy & kawan2)

Al-kisah pada suatu hari tatkala sedang menghadap MukaBuku mase gap utk exam Micobiology, terbaca post daripada Aiman Azlan, which brought me to this link.
Mase tu lah baru kenal Yasmin Mogahed, a freelance writer and international speaker. Her words about Islam really reach people's hearts, I know they touched mine.
bila baca her poem entitled "Die before your death", sangatlah tersentap lantas terfikir,

"Will I be able not to get too attached to this dunya and 

have a heart that only longs towards the meeting with The Almighty?" 

hasil sentapan itu, sambil diri ini bermuhasabah, maka terhasillah poem di bawah.

O' Allah I am ashamed

I tell the world I love You and Prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) the most

But it isn't really like I proclaimed.

When it comes to doing ibadah,

I do it because it's compulsory. 

When it comes to reviving the sunnah,

Most of the time; "I am lazy."

When it comes to recalling the sirah,

Wallahi I don't know that plenty.

When it comes to giving out sadaqah,

There's always "I don't have enough money."

When it comes to binding the ukhuwah,

I mingle because I think it's salutary.

When it comes to covering my aurah,

I like to adorn myself with vanity.

When it comes to studying,

I obliviously aim for supremacy.

When it comes to the issues concerning the ummah,

I react rather indifferently.

When it comes to serving the society,

I do it all for glory.

O' Allah I am ashamed

These unmindful thoughts, these cruel intentions

They may not know, but You do.

And You know them all.

O' Allah indeed I am ashamed

What will You think of me

When nothing I do is out of sincerity

When everything I do is not for You

Even the life that You grant me

Am I actually living it aimlessly?

Dear Allah please forgive me

I wish for nothing but Your mercy

Only You who is worthy of my repentance

Please spare me on Your Day of Judgement!

O' Allah truly I am ashamed

Thank you for making me realize

Loving this dunya is meaningless

And now, YOUR LOVE is my aim.

#buat benda biar Allah redha. itu matlamat utama~
semoga bermanfaat. sama-sama refleksi + koreksi diri ke arah yang lebih baik, insya Allah...

that's her ;)

__________________________________________________________________________________

And so it's another new month in the calendar,
which marks the end of the year isn't that far.

As it starts snowing in Canada and the rain starts to drop on Ardul Kinanah,
the month of December begins to whirl,
bringing back all the cherished memories that was once shared,
where me and my loved ones were brought into this world.

December 2nd   - Areef a.k.a abang's birthday (dh besar dh budak ni =)

December 3rd  - makcik dia punye birthday

December 4th   - birthday atiqah *agak kekok memanggilmu atiqah..hehe*

December 23rd- Abe Ja's birthday

haaa, see? Ramaii kann? Happy belated and becoming birthday sweethearts!
note how kami adik beradik were born selang sepuluh hari *despite the difference in years of course.
macam wow je kan. hehe. alhamdulillah, thanks Mama, thanks Allah.

Abe yeo and his little girl, Mardhiyyah :)

Mardhiyyah dah bsr sikit..alahai :)

within a year, a newborn is now a toddler who is able to stand on her own two feet.
within a year, a boy is now a young man who is able to carry out responsibilities placed upon him.
within a year, a man is now ready to be called a husband.
within a year, a married couple welcomes their little bundle of joy.
within a year, a family mourns over their loved one's death.

this is life. and it goes on.
we are all in this ride,
reaching the final destination,
and it waits for no one the time and tide.

we are,
closer to responsibilities.
closer to becoming old.
closer to death.
closer to God.

Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah

"Indeed, there are signs in the heavens and earth for believers, 

and in your creation,
and in the crawling things that He has scattered far and near,
there are signs for a nation whose belief is certain"(QS: 45:3-4)

to family & friends;

Thanks for the birthday wishes. 

May Allah bless us all!
^_____^

 

Being away from home at times like this makes me miss home even more. 

Adieu

Having to part with my loved ones-again, makes me wonder;

"Where is the good in goodbye?"

Saying 'goodbye' was never easy.

cepatnya 70 hari berlalu... (T.T)
memandangkan akan bermusafir kejap lg, nk share lah cket dgn korang doa sebagai orang bermusafir. semoga bermanfaat buat semua =)

الله أَكْبَر ، الله أَكْبَر ، الله أَكْبَر سُبْحانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنقَلِبُونَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِنَا هَذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَّقْوَى وَمِنْ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضَى ، اللَّهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْنَا سَفَرَنَا هَذَا وَاطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ ، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَر وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الأَهْلِ ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعْثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمَنْظَرِ وَسُوءِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالأَهْلِ Maksudnya : Allah Maha Besar, Allah Maha Besar, Allah Maha Besar, Maha Suci Tuhan yang telah memudahkan kenderaan ini untuk kami, sedang kami sebelum itu tidak terdaya menguasainya. Dan sesungguhnya kepada Tuhan kamilah, kami akan kembali. Ya Allah kami memohon kepadaMu kebaikan dan ketaqwaan pada perjalanan kami dan dengan amalan yang Engkau redhai, Ya Allah ringankanlah perjalanan kami dan pendekkanlah jaraknya, Ya Allah Engkaulah Teman dalam perjalanan, dan Ketua bagi ahli keluarga, Ya Allah aku memohon perlindunganMu dari kesulitan perjalanan, pandangan yang samar, dan dari kejahatan yang boleh menimpa kepada harta dan ahli keluarga sekembalinya kami. ni pulak doa buat orang yang disayangi yang akan bermusafir, agar selamat daripada ujian =)

 ، فِيْ حِفْظِ اللهِ ، وَفِيْ كَنَفِهِ ، وَزَوَّدَكَ اللهُ التَّقْوَى ، وَغَفَرَ ذَنْبَكَ  

وَوَجَّهَكَ فِيْ الْخَيْرِ حَيْثُ تَوَجَّهْتَ

Maksudnya : “Dalam penjagaan Allah, dan perhatianNya, muga Allah memberikan kepadamu ketaqwaan dan diampuni dosa-dosamu , dan muga Allah menunjukkan kepadamu arah kebaikan dimana sahaja engkau berada.

Petua beramal 

Apabila seseorang itu memberitahu tentang perjalanannya, maka mohonlah kepada Allah untuknya seperti yang terdapat dalam doa ini.Ini selaras dengan amalan Nabi yang mendoakan untuk sesiapa sahaja yang memaklumkan kepada Nabi tentang permusafirannya. ( Riwayat Ibnus Sunni dalam Amal al-Yaum wa al-Lailah no 502, al-Khara`itiy dalam Makarim al-Akhlak no 762 )

ceeyhh, mentang2lah nak balik mesir kan, mestilah letak gmbr unta. hehe

doakan agar kami selamat sampai ya., x sabar pulak nak masuk thn 2, nak start belajar balik!!

*okei tipuu*  ^____^

ma'assalamah malizia!

Another incomplete raya

I'm doing what every other blogger does; uploading a family portrait on hari raya. So here it is. 

The difference is that this year the picture was taken on 4th Syawal at Kelantan Trade Centre during my cousin's wedding reception.

Yes, it may seem like 1 big family, but 1 family member is still missing, for 3 rayas already. 

*god how I miss her >,<'

And how do I feel after celebrating raya for the 19th time?

I feel all grown up. 

Not that I'm complaining about NOt getting DUIT RAYA anymore from the relatives, or the fact that my sister and I literally cooked by ourselves for raya, or another unbelievable fact that I only wore my 'daily jubah' on 1st Syawal (which means I had no new baju raya). THAT made me feel all grown up. 

Well, experiencing these things marks that I am now in a new phase of life. 

I am no longer that little girl in new baju raya, collecting duit raya from almost everyone nor I am the girl sitting on the couch waiting to be approached when everyone comes visiting.

Ainul Mardhiyyah a.k.a tweety, 1st niece =)

Instead, I now had to be the one who was on the alert for guests, giving away duit raya (on behalf of mama n papa of course, hehe), and entertaining the guests. 

It was not easy I must say. I wondered how mama did every single thing all by herself when we were little. She baked biscuits, beautified the house, cooked nasi ayam/nasi air, prepared barley drinks, entertained the guests, attended to her children, washed up the crockery; everything for the annual 'open house day' which went on for decades.  

My mama must be a supermak. Every mom is! =)

best jgk citer ni~ hee

I guess it's not too late to wish everyone;

Happy Eidul Fitri

May you and your loved ones be favoured with

 His blessings and good providence this raya season.  

SALAM MERDEKA RAYA

Alhamdulillah, Eid 1432H was just as awesome cause I got to celebrate it with my family, though it could have been better if tak atih is around. *sigh*

oh if you're celebrating raya overseas away from your loved ones, don't worry, you don't miss out that much. (pandai2 je pdhal kalau empunya bdn terpaksa beraya kat mesir confirm tangkap nanges 7 hari 7 malam =.=) 

alamak tinggal 2 minggu je lagi kat malaysia. homaigok~! O__O
