the aftermath, the end, the coming days ahead.

kagum, terkesima, terpana, taajub, tersentak.

the aftermath of many2 programs.

HAMKA (himpunan akbar mahasiswa kita) di bumi nusantara ini.
PMS (perhimpunan musim sejuk)di scotland
PUISI di ireland
JUMS,
daurah2 di czech dan tanah air malaysia.
dan baaaanyak lagi program sempena musim cuti :)

hari ni,
program dah habis.
(semangat yang berkobar-kobar semasa program tu pun dah habis ke?)

istiqamah.

dat's the word for today (and the next2 day).

when so many people went to program, filling out their holiday usefully, a spark of amazement came to me. looking at their ym @ fb status, their blog updates, caption at every photos they posted, i realized that they change. for the better. my friends changed. for the better. alhamdulillah, it seems that the programs @ whatever they do during holiday sparks a little something in them. subhanallah.

looking at my very closests' improvement(s), what do i feel?

how will i react?

DONT BE LEFT OUT BEHIND.

a reminder to the one's talking: what you learned, never stops during the program only. what most important is the aftermath of it. whether you can utilise all the things you'd got when the program ends or not. rebuilding oneself, healing what's sick, buck up the spirit, leaving out the mess that once keep bothering you.

we know too much already.
wanna stay quite?
dont.

Lets Walk The Line.



may we meet again because of Him, insyaallah :)

Dare to be Different

عَن اَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : بَدَأَ اْلِاسْلَامُ غَرِيْباً وَسَيَعُوْدُ كَمَا بَدَأَ غَرِيْباً فَطُوْبَى لِلغُرَبَاءِ

Daripada Abu Hurairah Radhiyallahu 'anhu berkata, Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: Islam mula tersebar dalam keadaan dagang (asing).Dan ia akan kembali dagang. Maka berbahagialah (beruntunglah) orang yang bersama Islam ketika ianya dagang”. (Hadith riwayat Muslim)

kadangkala, kita terlalu sibuk memikirkan apa yang bermain dalam fikiran orang lain.

"kalau aku pakai macam ni, mesti nampak pelik semacam".
"kalau aku bagi nasihat, dia kata aku alim la pulak."
"kalau aku kejut dia subuh, nanti tak pasal2 dia marah2 pulak."
"kalau aku ........"

Hai, banyak sungguh kalau. Awak dah buat ke belum masalahnya?
Dah buat, baru cakap.

Mungkin awak terlupa. Bila awak sibuk2 fikir pandangan orang lain terhadap awak, awak lupa tentang pandangan Dia terhadap awak. Indeed, itu lah yang paling penting. Sebab in the end, it's between you and Allah. not them. dot.

Awak tak rasa izzah (bangga) ke bila awak lain dari yang lain? selalunya,macam2 orang buat untuk jadi lain dari yg lain (unik). buat fashion rambut pelik2 la, dengar lagu yg orang lain tak pernah dengar la, pergi tempat2 yang orang lain tak pernah jejak la dan banyak lagi. Kalaulah kita sentiasa ingat yang ISlam ni adalah salah satu nikmat Allah buat kita, mesti kita sentiasa rasa best & cukup dengan apa yang kita ada. Tak perlu buat benda pelik2 untuk tarik perhatian orang ramai kepada kita. cukup dengan Islam, apabila kita berani menegakkan islam itu dalam diri kita.

La takhaf. Hasbiallah.Innallaha maana.
jangan takut. cukuplah Allah buat kita. Dia sentiasa bersama2 kita.

Something's Gotta Give

Your strength needs you to use it wisely.

Ever had a session when in a small group, people will tell your strength and your weaknesses?

At that time, we train ourselves to be as open as possible to accept other’s critics towards us.

Imagine right now is your turn to listen, and other people will tell you your strength and weaknesses.

Ok. "You’re a very nice person, easygoing, hardworking, can cook well, bla bla bla."

How do you feel when people are telling your good side?

Happy? Proud? Over the cloud? Trying hard to hide your smile and keep humble?

Enough.
Ok now, your friends are telling the bad side of you. Not a bad side, just your weaknesses.

Again, how do you feel?

Most people will focus more on their weaknesses, as they know that they got to do something with it. Improving one self. “After this, I will do this and this and this....”, in order to minimize their weaknesses.

But what about the ‘strength’ part? Aren’t you gonna do something with it too? Does your strength is only exists to make you proud, so full of yourself? When you’re keeping your mind full with weaknesses that you have to handle, don’t forget about your strength. God gives you that good side of yours to fulfil your purpose of life. No other reason than that. What’s your purpose of life that your strength got to serve? Tepuk hati, tanya iman.

Lagipun, you’re great @ good @ strong not solely because of your own effort. It’s Him, and always Him. Without a strength given by Him, you cant even move a single muscle. Stiil proud of yourself? Remember, He’s always the Greatest. You’re just a small spec in this world. His world.

Allah menawarkan kita satu perdagangan yang sangat2 menguntungkan. Gunakan apa yang Dia berikan untuk jalanNya, ganjaran yang tidak ternilai harganya sedia menanti. Semua alat2 yang kita perlukan telah Allah sediakan. Cuma kita yang mahu atau tidak menggunakannya dalam perdagangan ini.

"Sesungguhnyà Allah telah membeli dari orang-orang mü'min, diri dan harta mereka dengan memberikan syurga untuk mereka. Mereka berperang pada jalanAllah, lalu mereka dibunuh atau terbunuh. Itu yang menjadi janji yang benar dari
Allah di dalam Taurat, Injil, dan Al Qur-an. Dan siapakah yang lebih menepati janjinya (selain) daripada Allah? Maka bergembiralah dengan jual beli yang telah kamu lakukan, dan itulah kemenangan yang besar". (At Taubah: 111)

The Mosque

Holiday has started. Unlike others, mine is only for 2 weeks. Though one might think that it's too short, we're not talking about the length. We're talking about the quality of your holiday. If you wasted your time by sleeping all day long, what's the meaning of holiday anyway. huhu :~

yesterday, we went to d nearest mosque to our house, our very 1st time since we moved into this house. Since we're on holiday, so this much time we spend going here and there, including our aim to pray at every mosque in our neighbourhood. :) our first objctive is basically to spread Your words, maybe by teaching the kids reciting Your book first. Secondly, of course to mingle around wit the locals :)

However, what happened was a bit unexpected (we actually dont know what to expect pun). We arrived a bit late for magrib prayer as the jemaah is already dismissed. Dipendekkan cerita, the muslimat was only the 4 of us, no other locals. muslimin also only a handful. when we enter the mosque, all of them went out (as if to allow us to pray peacefully), except the imam (but he went to the other side of the mosque, far from our sight). Huuu. terasa cam diboikot ke ape. Cam lawak pun ada gak.

Finished praying, we sat for a while, discussing about this 'unexpected' happening. Obviously our second motive cant be achieved dis way since there's no other muslimat that we can talk to. About our 1st motive, we're still calculating, trying to learn the culture here. Seems like sitting n discussing among us will not help, we try to catch the imam (the last of muslimin to leave the mosque), to talk n get to know things around here. (padahal selama ni memang x penah buat pun kat tempat sendiri. huhu)

Subhanallah, Barakallah, Alhamdulillah~!

These were the words that he kept uttering towards us, very happy to hear that we're not originally from this land. Besides the fact that we came to this mosque. From his explanation, our neighbourhood got 120 families, only 20 are muslims. No wonder the number of people going to the mosque is very little. Unless when there are taklim or any teachings going on, or the Friday prayer.

From our quite long conversation with him, so many things we learnt. He just know how to put it, teaching us while conversing. About being a true muslim, the concept of istiqamah defined differently by each of khulafa' ar-rasyidin, berbaik sangka as man is not perfect, and many more :) Unfortunately i didnt bring my note book to jote it all down :P

Thanks to Allah, though our first intention to come here isnt fulfilled, but You give us something better instead :) Indirectly, our existence here is known, therefore insyaallah if we want to do or volunteer anything, things will get easier insyaallah. Cant wait for another visit to the mosque again :)
