Differences..

Assalamualaikum again..

this week is the best week of my life. cause i'm home with my family.

so today i'd like to shere what value have i actually learned this week.

to know lets go through some situations first....

situation 1:

"abang, siti tak fahamla apa masalah anak kita ni. kenapa attitude dia macam ni, dia dah seventeen, kenapa dia tak nak berubah?kenapa dia still dengan perangai panas baran dia?siti ni ibu dia, kenapa dia tak faham siti?bila siti tegur or marah dia, dia mula menjawab. geram siti! dia tak faham ke, siti cuma nak yang terbaik untuk dia, siti sayang dia bang" keluh siti kepada suaminya.

"sabar ye sayang, nanti insyaAllah dia berubah. dia belum matang lagi tu" pujuk suamiunya.

situation 2:

"aku tak boleh bleh ar ngan mak aku bro!aku nak pergi mana semua dia tanya, aku buat ni dia berleter aku tak buat tu dia berleter. dia macam nak semua perfect. aku taula aku ni pemalas, tapi aku pon manusia, agak-agakla kalau nak control aku sangat pon. dia tak nampak ke aku cuba berubah sikit-sikit?" cerita Amir pada rakannya. 

"biasala bro, mak-mak memang macam tu. kita buat pekak sudah" jawab lutfi pula.

situation 3:

"OMG lina, look at your outfit, the colours are like, eww",said lisa.

'argh, apa masalah lisa ni, suka hati akula aku nak pakai camna pon' marah lina dalam hati

"coolla wey, biasala thats the way i dress up kay" answered lina yg sedikit terguris

*then its like the awkward moment between the 2 of them.

situation 4:

" kita tak boleh la awak, kita tak paham kenapa dia penakut sangat, semua nak teman, ni nak teman, tu nak teman, dia tu tak percaya kat Allah ke?" kata alya.

"haih alya tak baik cakap camtu, tu kelemahan dia, mungkin dia ada kekuatan kat tempat lain" kata aisyah.

miscellaneous:

"sorila, kami tak boleh terima orang macam tu, sikit-sikit nak minta tolong orang, tak independent langsung.."

"eee, annoyingla perangai dia tu, suka waste time, orang mai Universiti untuk study, ni dia tengok movie plak.."

"meluat betul dengan dia tu, dia sendiri ada boyfriend, pakai baju ketat, pastu nak tegur2 org plak.."

and many many more, if i wrote it all i won't be able to deliver my actual meseg.

so during my days in the university i saw all these situations happening around me  *there were some which i exagerated. hehe

anyway, my point is, i think a lot about the problems occuring around us, i wonder isn't there any solution?is there any way to throw away these hatred from our inner self. so i can't wait for the holidays so that i can consult with my dad, ask him for some advice. but unfortunately when i'm back my dad's not home, he've got some work to settle overseas.

so while waiting for him, i start thinking, what should i do, i want to think positively always but its to hard!

then one day i saw this quranic verse which really made me happy.

Not so do those who show patience and constancy, and work righteousness for them is forgiveness (of sins) and a great reward. (surah hud, verse 11)

Kecuali orang-orang yang sabar dan mengerjakan amal salih, maka mereka itu akan beroleh keampunan dan pahala yang besar. (surah hud, ayat 11)

thats it, the key is Sabar(patients). all i have to think is in order to get Allah's love and forgiveness and in order to get a lot of reward from Allah. All i need to do is be patient and do good deeds.

    

Then after one week, my dad came back. so today morning i went to eat breakfast with him. then i told him my problem. i told him the problem facing most people in the society these days.

he starts answering by telling me one stroy that happened back then...

"okay fauhatuz, kisah ni berlaku masa zaman nabi isa dulu" my dad starts.

"satu hari, masa nabi isa sedang berjalan dengan sahabat-sahabat beliau, tiba-tiba beliau jumpa seekor anjing mati di tepi jalan, kemudian nabi isa pun berhenti dan melihat anjing tu."

"tapi sahabat-sahabat nabi isa ni mula rasa pelik dan jijik melihat anjing tu, mereka mengeluh, eee, kenapala anjing ni mati kat sini, memalukan betul, dahla busuk"sahabat-sahabat saling mengeluh.

"kemudian, tiba-tiba nabi isa bersuara sambil tersenyum. 'CANTIKKAN GIGI ANJING NI?',"so my dad pun stop kat situ.

then my dad sambung lagi "okay fauhatuz, apa value yang kamu nampak melalui cerita tadi?"

"walaupun bertapa tak perfectnya sesuatu benda tu kita kena cuba cari sesuatu yang valuable dan positive yang ada pada benda tu." i answered.

"so when you look or talk with someone, look at them with the good qualities they have, then you can forgive even if they were using some annoying sentence. appreciate them because they have that beautiful quality." my dad explained.

then i realised, yes its true, all of us are humans, we are not perfect at all, the are some qualities which we are lacking. setiap orang ada kekurangan dan kelebihan dia yang tersendiri. so from now onwards i want to use different approach.

when i talk to someone i am only going to try to look at their best quality, i will only think about their positive values, and on top of all i'll always try to be patient. maybe this will help to create a better and peaceful world. maybe this will help people to see how beautiful Islam is.

There's a story behind every person. There's a reason why they are the way they are.~

we are different, but if we give and take we can still live happily ever after....

InsyaAllah i'll do my best. jom ubah attitude! 

Understand!

Assalamualaikum..  

'understand'..hmm, apa itu paham/faham? ramai di kalangan kita mempunyai definisi tersendiri tentang understand/faham..

so nak sharela sikit kat sini,

sgt terkesan dlm kelas UNGS, dr Razak baru2 ni.

last week...

dr razak: okay students, before i teach you what prophethood is, i want all of you to go back and find, what is the meaning of knowledge and what is the difference between knowledge and science. you can use any source. just make sure all of you are really clear about the meaning. okay, you can go back, thats all for today, see you all tomorrow. Assalamualaikum.

semua orang macam, hah?ni ja klas hari.

so everyone went back and busy cari jawapan, and thanks for helpful mr google.=)

the next day...

dr razak: Assalamualaikum everyone, so did you found the answer.
students: yes..
dr razak: okay so now put away your notes.
students: alor sir
dr razak: why?what happened?if you've understood what you've searched then y u need notes?
...then dr razak starts questioning us..

the main point here is, at that moment that sentence really struck my heart. it is so true.
IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU STUDY WHY U NEED NOTES FOR?

i feel like i've heard something like this before. then baru tringat, it's about Imam Ghazali's story that i've read somewhere.

kisah ni masa imam Ghazali muda2 dulu. suatu hari, sewaktu dalam perjalanan pulang dari Jurjan imam Ghazali telah dirompak.
Bila para perompak itu meninggalkannya, beliau mengikuti mereka, tetapi beliau diberi amaran agar tidak mengikuti mereka itu kalau tidak beliau akan mati.
Lalu beliau meminta dengan nama Allah supaya dikembali kertas-kertas yang mengandungi catitan-catitan pelajarannya kerana kertas itu tidak ada gunanya untuk mereka. Bila ditanya tentang kertas apa yang ada dalam beg itu beliau menjawab bahawa itu mengandungi catitan-catitan ilmunya yang didengarinya yang kerananya beliau jauh mengembara.
Perompak itu ketawa dan bertanya “bagaimana kamu memperolehi ilmu mereka bila kami ambil kertas itu maka kamu tidak berilmu lagi”.
Ini suatu yang aneh berlaku. Bagaimanapun catitan-catitannya diserahkan kembali. Apabila beliau kembali ke Tus lepas itu, imam al-Ghazali mengambil masa tiga tahun menghafal semua catitan-catitan yang dipelajarinya itu. 
sungguh kagum dengan imam Ghazali, bertapa hebatnya beliau, hanya satu peristiwa telah mengubah beliau yang hebat ini menjadi seorang yang lebih hebat!

Nabi (saw) juga pernah bersabda: "Dunia ditegakkan dengan 4 perkara: orang berilmu yang mengamalkan ilmunya, orang bodoh yang tekun belajar, orang kaya yang tidak bakhil dengan kebaikan dan orang fakir yang tidak menjual akhiratnya."

untuk mengamalkan ilmu yang dipelajari kita perlu faham ilmu yang depelajari terlebih dahulu kan?

remember, if you memorize and understand the knowledge that you have no one can take it away from u. =)

so, jom tuntut ilmu yang kita pelajari dengan ikhlas, faham dan amalkan dalam hidup!
insyaAllah!

JUMAAT =)

JUMAAT, the day i love most

i don't know why, tapi dari dulu sampai sekarang, on friday i feel so safe, so happy and so protected.

if today i buat benda baik or anything i felt so calm.

maybe sebab my dad selalu ingatkan me about how barokah friday is. 

yang i paling ingat is, my dad says 'kalau kamu baca surah kahfi pada hari jumaat, Allah akan protect kamu from this friday sampaila the next friday'.

ingat, miracles of Allah happen anywhere at any time, so always feel happy to be attached to Allah, and try your best to do the things that would lead you to get closer to Allah.

anyway, as its our 1st friday in 2012, so nak share satu video

'it's Jumaat' by R.black. bes sgt, enjoy and amal...=)

lyrics:

Raef, It's Jumaah...

5AM, waking up for Fajr

Got to make wudu', got to pray my sunnah,

Got to make ghusl, got to clip my nails,

Looking outside, the sun is rising up in the sky,

Everybody's rushing

Got to get down to the masjid,

Got to say "Salam!" to the Imam,

Sitting in the first Saff(row), chilling in the back Saff(row),

Got to make my mind up..Do what the prophet did.

It's Jumaah! Jumaah!

Got to make dhikr on Jumaah,

Everybody's looking forward to his mercy, mercy.

Jumaah! Jumaah!

Got to make Dhikr on Jumaah,

Everybody's looking forward to the Ajr.

miswaking, miswaking!Yeah,

miswaking, miswaking!Wow,

pray, pray, pray, pray,

Got to read surat Al-Kahf.

12.45 the Imam's in the mimbar,

Talking about something like "Fiqh Az-Zakat"

They're whispering, chatting from the crowd,

Don't they know that its haram.

I stand up, you stand up, prayer's about to start "Qad qaamat as-salaah",

foot to foot! shoulder to shoulder! Just don't step on me.

Sitting in the first Saff(row), chilling in the back Saff(row),

Got to make my mind up..Do what the prophet did.

It's Jumaah! Jumaah!

Got to make dhikr on Jumaah,

Everybody's looking forward to his mercy, mercy.

Jumaah! Jumaah!

Got to make Dhikr on Jumaah,

Everybody's looking forward to the Ajr.

miswaking, miswaking!Yeah,

miswaking, miswaking!Wow,

pray, pray, pray, pray,

Got to read surat Al-Kahf.

It's Jumaah! Jumaah!

Got to make dhikr on Jumaah,

Everybody's looking forward to his mercy, mercy.

                                                                     Jumaah! Jumaah!

Got to make dhikr on Jumaah,

Everybody's looking forward to his mercy....

 

WANT A PERFECT LIFE??

Assalamualaikum,

In life it is indeed not easy to have a perfect life, but It doesn’t mean we cannot have a perfect life.

All we need to do is make some changes in our life.

I’ve once heard a quote by an anonymous-“everyone think about changing the world, but no one think about changing himself”

I always recall myself saying, if only my life was like this, if only people could be more patient, if only people can give and take, if only people can tolerate a little, if only the politician weren’t fighting against each other, if only studying is more easier than I thought it would be, and many many more….

But then it struck me there’s no use nagging about all the things we are not satisfied about, like what an anonymous said “STOP being upset daily hoping for life and people around you to change, be at ease no matter what happen!”

So I decide to stop complaining about life, I tried to be patient all the time, but sometimes it makes me angrier and angrier.

And then one day…

My dad gave me one extraordinary book called AYYUHAL WALAD-by IMAM GHAZALI..

I started reading that book and I really found it fascinating!

There is this one part that totally changes my whole life, its about

IMAM GHAZALI’s 8 most important ADVICE (I’ll just summarize it)

1)  Only good deeds follow us till death

2)  Fight desire so that it obeys Allah

3)  Rely only to Allah because it’s the best(pergantungan kepada Allah adalah yang terbaik)

4)  The best among you is the one who fears Allah most

5)  Don’t be jealous and don’t backbite others

6)  Your only enemy is syaitan

7)  Always remember Allah is the One who gives us sustenance (rezeki)

8)  Always believe in Allah because Allah gives us accordance to the will of Allah.

(Allah beri sesuatu sesuai dengan kehendak kita)

After going through all the 8 advice, i realize that nothing will make us happier than having a strong faith in Allah. And when I practice it, I could feel that it slowly leads me to THE PERFECT LIFE.=)

Alhamdulillah!

And that what we call EXTRAORDINARY!

WONDERFULLNESS!!!

one fine morning, in a beautiful house by the hill....           "                                                                              

"that morning while grandpa was beautifully reciting quranic verses, amar who was sleeping woke up suddenly as he heard his grandpa voice reciting quran..he really loves to hear people reciting quran..for him it is so breathtaking..

amar is a 9 years old boy who lives with his grandpa in a small yet beautiful house by the hill since he was born..since he was a baby he really loves to hear his grandpa reciting quran...
there was one night when it rains heavily and theres thunder everywhere, amar was so frirgtened and scared and he really can't sleep, but once his grandpa came by his side and resites quran to him, he eventually felt safe and starts smiling and falls asleep slowly..but there was something that confuses amar...

so that morning amar sat beside his grandpa and patiently listens to his grandpas recitation..and the after his grandpa has finished he asks him the question that has been plaing in his mind these days..

"grandpa i don't really understand, why do we recite quran?i know we'll get reward from Allah if we do..but what else do we get? i mean as for me, i don't even understand the meaning of the words i'm reciting but i feel something when i recite quran..i feel safe, i got this peace of mind..but i don't really understand why..why grandpa??why?"ask amar eagerly.

and his grandpa smiles and answers patiently.."i see..i see...my dear boy..now let me give u some tasks first then i'll answer your questions okay?"


"anything you grandpa"said amar


grandpa took a basket full of coal near the chimney and gave it to amar while saying  "now boy, empty this basket and then go up the hill and fill this basket with water until its full and bring it back here..can you my dear?"


then amar who was kind of confused asks "but grandpa, i need a pail to fill water in it so that it will not spill.."


"i know my dear but will you do as i say??"


"okay grandpa"said amar obidiently.


and amar went to the pond and filled the basket with water and came down to his grandpa..unfortunately, when he arrived home, the basket was already empty as the water had spilled through the small holes around the basket..so, he went to the hill and to fill the basket with water..and this time he ran home to make sure the basket is not empty when he came home..but, unfortunately it was empty again..so he went up again to do the same thing and this time he ran faster than before but still when he arrive home the basket was empty...

so amar told his grandpa "grandpa, i'm so sorry i went to the pond three times to fill the basket with water but still i couldn't."said amar who was already confused.

while calmly smiling his grandpa said"come here my child, now, look properly into the basket, do you see any difference?"

after looking at the basket for a while, amar suddenly realize something, he realized that the basket that were very dirty inside because of the coal is now very very clean.

"so now you see my child, eventhough you don't understand quran, when you recite quran it cleanses you inside. so that you could slowly become a better person. it cleanses your innerself so that you become stronger, it cleanses your heart and mind so that you always feel calm deep down and slowly you can learn the meaning of the verses and understand quran so that you get more benefit when you understand."continued grandpa.

then amar who was very amazed said "waaa, grandpa i never thought of this before, from this day onwards i want to recite quran daily and slowly try to understand quran."

"now, that my child, alhamdulillah" grandpa respond while smiling.=)
