He'll listen to you
always.
He's listening you
always.
there are days when things are not going our way, things being bad as bad as it can be, things are messing up with our-already-messedup mind, things just making us feeling low.
through those time,
there's always small voices in our hearts, saying,
"How i wish things will turn up to be like this or like this or like this,"
"How i wish things are easier, bla bla bla"
there's so many hopes and dreams flowing inside our selves,
sometimes they keep streaming in our head unconsciously,
without us telling them in our prayers.
but sometimes we just couldnt voice it out loud because they're sometimes looked absurd, not realistic.
tapi,
Allah Maha Mendengar.
He'll listen to you, to your prayer, to your wishes.
He never misses even a heartbeat.
If you strongly pray for a thing, He'll grant it, one way or the other.
trust Him,
lay your hopes in Him.
then you'll find peace in your heart.
because,
He'll always listen to you,
like no one other.
kadang- kadang, terharu sangat sampai mata berkaca-kaca bila tersedar,
'rupanya Allah dengar je apa yg aku mintak selama ni.'
eventhough tak tadah tangan utk doa betul- betul for that particular thing.
teruknya saya.
lupa kat Ilah, Rabb, Malik saya sendiri.
doa tu senjata mukmin. ingat tu.
dan yakin, Allah sentiasa dengarkan kita :)

be a pro.
Professional (adj)
kenapa saya tulis pasal professional?
maybe many might narrow this down only in terms of career ie; doctors, engineers, lawyers, etc.
since we should expand our paradigm much, please see this in terms of our purpose of life.
a professional dai'e will never put his own interest first. they will think of anything, everything, to sacrifice (tadhiyah) whatever they can, because they know, He'll be the one who'll reward them.
a professional dai'e will put all of their effort to reach the aim, with high spirit and motivation. they dont want to be weak-hearted (read: futur) because they know, other's are running/ struggling/ sacrifing to reach His redha.
they will not be affected by what others said, because of their strong will and high spirit (read: himmah aliyah).
be a pro.
not a mere muslim.
def:
- Excellent manual/practical and literary skills in relation to profession
- A high standard of professional ethics, behavior and work activities while carrying out one's profession. Often the professional is required to put the interest of the client ahead of his own interests.
- Reasonable work morale and motivation. Having interest and desire to do a job well as holding positive attitude towards the profession are important elements in attaining a high level of professionalism.

“Maka, berikanlah peringatan (Wahai Muhammad, kepada manusia, dan janganlah berdukacita kiranya ada yang menolaknya), kerana sesungguhnya engkau hanyalah pemberi ingatan. Bukanlah engkau seorang yang berkuasa memaksa mereka (menerima ajaran Islam yang engkau sampaikan itu). Akan tetapi, sesiapa yang berpaling (dari kebenaran) serta kufur ingkar... Maka Allah akan menyeksanya dengan azab seksa yang sebesar-besarnya.” (Surah Al-Ghasyiyah : 21-24)

it's never lame.
it's never lame to be a reader.
The best of a book is not the thought which it contains, but the thought which it suggests; just as the charm of music dwells not in the tones but in the echoes of our hearts. ~Oliver Wendell Holme
editting profile in facebook, multiply, twitter or whatsoever social network u're joining, some might be troubled to fill in the 'interest' or 'hobby' column. some just trying hard to think what's 'in' to be put in there, so that people viewing their profile will be awed by their up-to-date self. they struggle hard not to put 'reading' as their hobby or interest, so that people will not find them boring, lame, or simply a nerd.
reading is never be in their dictionary.
but,
we're simply not human if we dont read.
everything in this life has a purpose.
then i ask you, what is your purpose of reading?
if it's just for the sake of yourself, then little by little you'll be tired of it.
but if you know that you're reading to enbalm your heart, while enbalming other's heart too, then you'll find enjoyment in it.
it's never lame, because you know that you have a bigger purpose of doing it.
if your heart, your mind are dry, what are you going to share with others?
dont talk nonsense, because 'thoughts are faster than the light' as the saying goes.
people are smarter nowadays, so in order to grab their attention to share what's your heart feels, what's your fikrah says is by being smarter yourself.
i dont know bout you, but for me, it's really crucial.
widen your tsaqah al-fiqr, be a flowing river. never the stagnant one because stagnant water will stinks as day goes by.

Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists), Has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood). Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous, Who has taught (the writing) by the pen [the first person to write was Prophet Idrees (Enoch)], Has taught man that which he knew not. (al-alaq:1-5).

sickness parameter
we know we're sick when we woke up at 2am after only 3 hours sleep only to find out that we're going to throw up the lunch we ate at the cafe.
we know we're sick when every hour after that, we still woke up again and again, only to throw up everything that's inside our gastrointestinal tract.
we know we're sick when finally, the yellowish green liquid is vomitted, drained into the sink.
we know we need to seek the doctor when we dont know what else to do, scary thoughts running into our head as if we might die the next time we throw up, we dont know what's the right medication to take because we're too afraid of the side effects like what we learnt in pharmacology classes. we just know that we need to seek the doctor. immediately.
i wonder if our Iman's parameter is just like that.
if the parameter is so obvious, screaming to you that now you're in a low state of Iman, giving you external signals as blinding as the sunlight, you must be hurriedly taking your wudhu', perform a prayer or something, reciting the Quran verses or crying and crying, regretting your wrong doings day and night.
unfortunately, the reality isnt like that.
some might just too carried away, their Iman is being chronically ill day by day. it's not acute, it's just chronic. the signs are there, the simptoms are there, but maybe too vague for the blind hearts to see.
maybe that's the reason why we should do medical checkups once in a while.
that's the reason why we should muhasabah more and more than we're doing physical examinations.

rubik's philosophy.
it's the Rubik's cube.
invented by Erno Rubik, born Hungarian, a sculptor.
sampai sekarang saya tak tahu nak solve kan kotak rubik ni.
Before, i'm amazed by watching people solving it. seriously my utter respect goes to them. Tabik sangat2. but then, many manyyy people around me can solve it. Later i discovered that there's a technique solving it. Laa... kalau belajar, memangla boleh.
btw, what i wrote in this only valid for those yang berjaya solvekan cube ni by their own mind & susah-payah, bukannya utk orang2 yang berjaya sebab hafal step2 nak solvekan je. I learned it tak sampai halfway pun. then saya taknak dah. this is not my type of game. saya yakin kalau saya belajar sampai habis, mesti saya pun boleh solve kan macam org lain gak (trying to be optimist).
i watched something. discussing about the cube (bukan cube dalam transformers tu.ini Rubik's). The very thing that makes the cube is different from others is how you're going to solve it. there's 6 surfaces, and each move you make will affect others. while you might succeed in clearing a line or a surface, you have to bear in mind that the others might be randomly colourful. you solved one part, but the others are not. kalau nak solvekan semua sekali betul2, we have to consider the others, taking steps that will also affect the others positively. simultaneous changes in many parts are required, and the changes are on going, until all of the surfaces are solved. until your aim are reached.
kadang-kadang kita dah rasa selesa dengan satu- satu keadaan tu, padahal itu mungkin bukan yang terbaik untuk kita. sedikit perubahan pada zon selesa itu perlu, supaya kita akan lebih dekat dengan matlamat kita. perubahan itu mungkin akan affect orang- orang yang berada di sekeliling kita, tapi moga- moga perubahan itu kepada yg lebih baik. bila dah selesa kembali, berubah lagi untuk yang lebih baik. selesa lagi, berubah lagi. selesa lagi, berubah lagi. the cycle will goes on, until matlamat kita yg sebenar tercapai. eh. bukan cycle sebenarnya, tapi saya rasa lebih menyerupai sebuah tangga. sampai satu stage, ada perubahan yang diperlukan. kemudian naik lagi tangga baru, dan kita makin mendekati matlamat kita.
matlamat apa?
tepuk dada, tanya iman.
