بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Ya Tuhan kami, janganlah jadikan hati kami condong kepada kesesatan setelah Engkau memberi petunjuk kepada kami
& kurniakanlah kepada kami rahmat dari sisi Engkau kerana sesungguhnya Engkau tidak memungkiri janji.

The Power of Du'a!

Exam last Wednesday menguji iman aku

Aku prepare ala kadar

& that makes aku ada niat yang tak baik

Tapi dalam masa yang sama aku tak nak buat niat jahat aku tu

Aku doa kat Allah supaya jadikan niat aku tu gagal

AND

Guess what

He did granted my du'a

& I did my exam on my own effort

Today I got back the paper

&

Alhamdulillah, I passed it

I'm happy with what I got even though it wasn't that good

But I don't have to bear the guilty feeling inside

Good enough

NO

It is REALLY good

Thanks Ya Allah

:')

&

He helped me a lot during the examination

I remembered a lot what sir has taught during the class

:')

Thanks again Ya Allah

<3

Please protect my bestie Ya Allah :(

2-3 hari ni asyik teringatkan dia

tak pasti mengapa

mungkin sebab aku tahu dia tak berapa sihat

di tambah dengan masalah lain

tapi hari ini aku dapat tahu dia sakit teruk

sedih sangat

aku sebagai kawan baik dia tak mampu tolong apa-apa

:'(

sungguh aku sedih dengar cerita dia

masih ada lagi orang yang sanggup buat seperti itu

kenapa tak minta tolong Allah?

kenapa?

kenapa kau buat kawan baik aku macam ni?

kau tak kesian ke ha kat dia?

sampai hati kau

aku tahu aku tak wajar doa yang tak baik untuk orang lain

tapi u messed with my bestie

kau sakitkan dia

apa salah dia kat kau?

haa??

but 1 thing I salute her so much, she keeps on smiling & act like nothing happened to her.

Dia still cheerful depan semua orang & takkan ada yang akan perasan melainkan dia bagi tahu apa yang sebenarnya terjadi.

:')

U've become stronger each day right? :')

p/s: Dear bestie, please be strong (I know u r strong)..I will always pray for u..may Allah protect u from any harm. I love u. Take care :')

Bahagiamu deritaku??

Nope..

Bahagiamu bahagiaku..

That is the real definition for bahagia.

Fullstop.

And I pray that you will be happy with your choice.

Keys for this life!

One of my friends said this to me:

"She kuat ohh bagi kita. Bagi kita ujian yg She hadapi lgi besar drp kita. Tapi She still kuat, tabah..
She inspire kita. Bila kita ada masalah, kita terus ingat kat She."

Actually, I don't know how strong I am.
I have no other choice instead of being strong at those hard times.
& maybe bcoz of that, this She is exist.

Indeed, for you to be strong (inside), you just have to face all of your difficulties and bear with it.
That is how you become stronger.

&
Be patient for every single time you feel you cannot go further anymore
or you cannot bear the test given to you.
Be patient.
Its the key that lead you to be stronger.

To face this world, this life
All you need is to be patient and strong

Have faith in Allah for every test given to us there have reasons behind it.

Lets have sabr' & be strong!!!

The Power of Muhasabah Diri!

Iman
Kadang kala bertambah
Berkurang
&
Kadang kala maintain je

We know ourselves right?
& thus we should be able to know the level of our iman

Bila rasa iman tu jauuuuuuhhhh meninggalkan kita
Mohon
Cepat-cepat sedarkan diri
Di sini sangat memerlukan muhasabah diri yang sangat tinggi
Iya, surrounding/environment juga penting
Tapi muhasabah diri lagi penting

Cuba duduk kejap (lama lagi bagus)
Lepas tu fikir balik
Fikir lama-lama

Kenapa nak overly attached to this world?
Kenapa?
Lupa kah dunia ni hanya sementara?
ATAU
Terlalu terleka kah sampai tak mampu berpijak pada realiti yang nyata?

Bila rasa jauh daripada ALLAH
Cuba check balik diri ni
Cuba, cuba, cuba dekatkan balik
Baca lah Quran lama-lama
Buat solat sunat taubat
In sha Allah iman itu boleh bertambah kembali

Apa pun, have faith in ALLAH
Have a very strong faith in HIM

Moga iman kita sentiasa terpelihara
in sha Allah
aamiin
:)

Tersedar!


Time nak jaga hati ni lah baru nak recall kebaikan dia
Baru nak appreciate kesabaran dia terhadap aku
Baru sedar yang dia ada and dia wujud dalam hidup aku selama 6 tahun ini

Maaf
Kerna baru kini aku sedar hanya kau yang benar-benar sabar dengan kasar aku, garang aku, juga kerenah aku

&

Maaf jika aku sering melukai hati mu
Dalam tidak sedarku


Tell them when u r ready to get married only :)

Journey to find a true love!

True love is hard to find
But once you have found it
You will realize that it is worth of waiting

While you are waiting
You just have to prepare yourselves for the next phase of life

Everyone will die
So, prepare to die
Not everyone will get married
Not everyone will get a chance to have kids
And not everyone will get old

Somehow, somewhere in our life, we will have to stop our journey
Regardless we have prepared for it or not
That is why I'm saying this
You can prepare yourselves to be someone's wife/husband
You can prepare yourselves to be someone's mother/father
BUT
Make sure while you are preparing for those
Prepare for your DEATH too
Coz it is the last phase of life
And it is a certain one

May Allah let us die in a good way..in sha Allah..aamiin
:')

Turning point of my life!

This is a story I wanna share
:)

I was once a very bad girl
(In my own perspective lah)
But there's a turning point in my life
This one thing
Ohh waittt!!
Maybe it was two things that make my whole life change
The first one is when my mother passed away (al-fatihah)
& the second one is when I broke up
Ya, couple thing
Could not resist it as a teenager I guess
So, these two things really changed me
From dat 'bad' girl into a 'better' one lah
I'm not saying that I'm a saint
Naaaaa, I'm still a human being after all
I still make silly mistakes but not the same mistakes I've did before (hopefully)
Alhamdulillah, Allah gave me a second chance
A chance that might not be given anymore to me (no one knows right?)

That is my turning point
Now, I accept everything that happened sincerely
Bcoz I know this is how Allah wants me to be in the right path back
Alhamdulillah3x :')

I did not change drastically
It takes quite a time for me to change
I changed my attitude (discharged most of my -ve vibes..hihi) first
Then I changed my dress style
I started by buying a larger size of hijab (tudug bawal bidang 50)
Then I threw away my jeans (not really threw it away, I just left it at home..haha)
I bought slacks to replace those jeans
& I started to buy skirts (feminine gittew)
Then slowly I started to wear socks and then handsocks
After some time, I bought a larger hijab (tudung bawal bidang 60)
It took me quite a lot of money
but its okay what
Its like an investment for hereafter right?
& alhamdulillah I'm still istiqamah with this kind of dress style
I did not put make up also
If you knew me before I changed, you will know how I dressed up & obsessed with those eyeliner, mascara etc..lol :P
But I still use compact powder ok?
:P

Some people say its hard to change due to the acceptance from other people
Who cares what other people want to say
You know your intention, then just do it
People will always talk, no one can stop them
If you're gonna listen to everybody's words, then that's it
You are not going anywhere
Just listen to your heart, you know what is good for you
Then just do it
People will only talk at the beginning (maybe they are shock) then they will gradually stop talking bout it
Ya, they must be bored of the same thing right?
They will try to find other issues to talk about
& yippieee you are not gonna be their victim anymore :D

If you really want to change, don't just change to something that favors you more
Yes, it takes time but please don't just change on certain things only
You must accept Islam as a whole
Don't just pick one or two aspects
Pick it as a whole
Arasso?

Lets try our best okay?
Strive for jannah, insyaAllah :)

&
semoga istiqamah dalam mencari redha Allah
:)

p/s: Semua orang pasti ada turning point masing2. Moga turning point itu turning point yg mengubah kita ke arah yg lebih baik lah. Moga kita tetap dengan agama Allah (Islam) sampai lah ke syurga, insyaAllah :')

Penghapus dosa-dosaku :')

"Dan Kami tidak membebani seseorang melainkan menurut kesanggupannya, dan pada Kami ada satu catatan yang menuturkan dengan sebenarnya, dan mereka tidak dizalimi (dirugikan)."
::Al-Mu'minun: 62::

"dan pasti Kami akan menguji kamu dengan sedikit ketakutan, kelaparan, dan kekurangan jiwa, dan buah-buahan. Dan sampaikanlah khabar gembira kepada orang-orang yang sabar, (iaitu) orang-orang yang apabila ditimpa musibah, mereka berkata "Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun" (sesungguhnya kami milik Allah dan kepada-Nyalah kami kembali)."
::Al-Baqarah: 155-156::


Sakit
Mungkin sebagai
kafarah dosa
Mungkin juga ia adalah
nikmat..

Ya, aku sakit
Nikmat sihat ditarik buat masa ini
Sungguh aku rasa tidak sanggup hadap sakit ni lagi
But I have to bear with it
I just need some strength
Please pray for me will ya? :')

Things that I've learnt from this sickness are

1. I know how is the state/condition of other person who have this kind of disease.

2. Aku boleh bayangkan condition orang sakit yg lagi kritikal.

3. Aku belajar makan ala kadar di mana aku boleh rasa apa yg dilalui oleh mereka yg tak mampu pun untuk makan :( Ya, sangat terseksa if tak dapat makan yg secukupnya.

4. Supports from family and friends are precious. Thanks :') 
Only Allah can repay all of your deeds.

5. This sickness reminds me that I'm just a tiny creature that I can't even control anything. The thing that I can do is only accept it (redha), sabr & have faith in Allah's plan. There must be good reasons why He put me in this condition.

May Allah bless all of us
&
Please pray for me.. 
Pleaseeeee :')

p/s: Alhamdulillah kerana masih diberi peluang untuk bernafas di muka bumi ini. Biarpun sakit kita masih hidup. Masih bisa beribadah, masih mampu menyebarkan kebaikan & paling penting masih diberi kesempatan untuk bertaubat. Alhamdulillah juga kerana tahu diri ini disayangi kerana sakit ini adalah untuk menghapuskan dosa-dosa yg telah dilakukan selama ini :')
Alhamdulillah Ya Allah :')

Nilai sesuatu perbuatan!

Kita tak akan pernah tahu perbuatan apa/yg mana yg akan membawa kita ke syurga/neraka..
Kadangkala perkara itu kita lihat begitu remeh namun besar di sisi Allah..
Jadi, jangan pernah nilai kebaikan yg kau lakukan dengan level yg berlainan..
Anggap sahaja semua kebaikan di dunia ini sangat besar nilainya di sisi Allah..
Begitu juga dengan kejahatan..
Contoh: "Alaaa, aku tipu sikit je..tipu sunat orang cakap."
Bagi kita sikit tapi mungkin perbuatan kita inilah yg membawa kita ke neraka..
Nauzubillahiminzalik..
Jangan menilai DOSA itu sebagai sesuatu yg ringan..
Ya, kita masih punya masa untuk bertaubat..
Lekas, sebelum ajal menjemputmu dahulu..

Ayuh cari redha Allah & jauhkan diri daripada murka-Nya..
InsyaAllah, syurga menantimu..

4P's!!!!

"Pandai Pinjam Pandai Pulangkan."

Biasa dengar ayat ni kan???
Ayat standard kalau orang lain pinjam barang kita tapi tak pulang2kan..
Ayat yg sama digunakan oleh orang lain kalau kita pandai pinjam barang tapi tak reti2 nak pulangkan..
Everyone pernah berada pada both situations..
Am i right??
Mungkin kadang2 kita tak perasan yg sebenarnya kita berada pada situasi itu..

Kita mesti faham perasaan manusia2 itu kan??
 So, kita pulangkan lah barang yg kita dah pinjam tu..
Mungkin orang tu memerlukan barang tersebut..
Mungkin dia nak guna..
Tapi..tapii..tapi..
Perempuan ni masalah sikit..
Dia tak pandai or tak reti nak tuntut balik barang or benda yg orang lain pinjam daripada dia tu..
Tak kisah la kawan rapat ke tak rapat..
Sebab aku ni perempuan tu yg aku keluarkan statement ni..

Iya, aku memang jenis tak pandai sikit bab ni..
Memang fail..
T___T

& post ni untuk ingatkan diri sendiri jugak yg kadang2 terbabas simpan barang orang lain..hehe
Maaf ye kawan2 kalau aku ada pinjam barang korang or berhutang dengan korang tapi tak pulang2kan lagi & tak bayar2 lagi..
Kalau ada, mohon mesej aku, pm kat fb ka..
Dengan aku cakap je..
Sebab aku tak suka hutang orang..
peace (^^,)v

What u 'give' u 'get' back..hehe :P

Aku yang dulu bukanlah yang sekarang!

Semua manusia mempunyai masa lampau
Begitu juga aku
Bagi aku, masa lampau yg pernah aku lalui adalah satu tempat di mana aku tidak mahu menjejakkn kaki lagi
sampai bila2 pun
Jadi aku mohon
Aku mohon jangan disingkap masa lampau aku
Kerana aku sudah tiada di 'sana'
Aku sekarang berada di 'sini'
Mencari cinta hakiki
Cinta yang abadi
Mungkin terkadang aku terjatuh, tersungkur
Namun aku tahu aku tidak mahu tersungkur di lembah yang sama
Aku masih melakukan kesilapan
Kerana aku manusia biasa
Manusia yang tidak akan pernah sempurna
Begitu juga kamu, kamu & kamu
Namun kita masih punya waktu
Waktu untuk berubah
Berubah ke arah yang jauh lebih baik
Moga kita selamat sampai ke destinasi yang terakhir
Ya, aku mahu ke syurga
Kamu juga begitu bukan?
Jadi, jangan kita pernah menghukum sesiapa pun berdasarkan masa lampaunya
Setiap orang punya masa hadapan
Dan yang menentukan masa hadapan kita adalah masa kini, bukan masa lampau
Jaga diri kita yang sekarang
Moga kita bertemu di syurga-Nya
InsyaAllah :')

Cerita Pengajaran!



Hari ni,salah sorang kawan talaqqiku
kantoi dengan syeikh yang dia ada
berhubung dengan seorang wanita
bukan mahram di phone..*yakni
couple*...

kemudian syeikh bagi nasihat yang
sangat lembut tapi betul-betul
menyentuh hati kami semua....

syeikh: kamu suka dia?

fulan: ya syeikh....
syeikh: kamu suka tu suka-suka atau
kamu rasa dia memang yang terbaik
untuk menjadi teman
hidupmu,menjadi ibu untuk
anakmu,menjadi pembantu
agamamu?

fulan: ya syeikh...pada pandangan
saya,dia yang terbaik untuk jadi
teman hidup saya dan agama saya...

syeikh: bila kamu akan menikahinya?

fulan: lepas belajar syeikh...dalam 3
tahun lagi...

syeikh: jadi kenapa kamu rosakkan
dia?kamu bukan nak menikah
sekarang?kamu rosakkan dia
sekarang dan 3 tahun akan datang?
kenapa kamu jadikan air mutlak
menjadi air musta'mal tanpa sebab?
bukankah dia wanita suci yang bakal
menjadi ibu untuk anakmu?kenapa
kamu bercouple dengannya
sedangkan jika kamu sukakan dia,dia
sukakan kamu,bersabarlah hingga
sampai waktu kalian benar-benar
ingin menikah kemudian baru kamu
jumpa ayahnya dan pinang dia
secara suci?bukankah cara itu lebih
suci?wanita umpama air
mutlak,mereka suci,tetapi apabila
mereka mula berhubung dengan
lelaki tanpa sebab,apatah lagi ber
couple,wanita itu umpama air
musta'mal..ia tidak boleh digunakan
untuk bersuci tetapi hanya
digunakan untuk perkara selain
bersuci seperti basuh pinggan,basuh
najis,basuh bontot dan
sebagainya...apa kamu sanggup ibu
untuk anakmu setaraf itu?

sesungguhnya wanita ini akalnya
pendek,nafsu mereka didepankan
atas segalanya,kalau lelaki datang
ucapkan kata-kata palsu,mereka akan
mempercayainya melebihi mereka
percayakan al-quran...sedangkan
lelaki memang perangai mereka
hanya main-main kecuali mereka
benar-benar bersedia untuk
nikah,tapi sekiranya mereka belum
sedia,contohnya mereka masih
belajar dan sebagainya,jelas
permainan mereka dengan wanita itu
hanya tipu daya,tapi tipu daya
semudah itu pun dapat menipu para
wanita hingga membawa mereka ke
ranjang perzinaan..itu tandanya akal
mereka sangat pendek...nabi utuskan
para lelaki sebagai penjaga para
wanita bukan perosak mereka....bagi
kamu,couple,chatting,cakap dalam
phone semua itu dosa kecil
sedangkan ia jelas haram kerana
Allah haramkan kita untuk dekati
zina....dekati zina pun tak
boleh,makna kata kalau kita masih
jauh 50km dari zina,tapi 1cm kita
gerakkan kaki ke arah zina itu telah
haram kerana perintah ini....jadi
janganlah pandang remeh perkara
zina ini...sesungguhnya ramai yang
mati tanpa berzina tetapi di mahsyar
kelak buku amalan mereka penuh
dengan dosa zina.....apa berbaloi
kau bahagia sementara dengan
teman wanita yang kau tak ingin
nikahi diganti dengan azab neraka
yang panasnya 70x ganda api dunia?


note: kepada lelaki bapuk di luar
sana yang gemar permainkan
wanita...ketahuilah bahawa kalian
adalah MUSUH ALLAH DAN MUSUH
RASULULLAH ! ! ! kalian permainkan
para wanita yang akalnya
pendek,tidak dapat bezakan baik dan
buruk...memang para wanita
walaupun akal pendek,tapi mereka
dikurniakan sifat malu yang
tinggi....fb,phone,twitter,internet ni
semua dicipta dajjal untuk
menghakis sifat malu para muslimah
sehingga mereka jadi umpama kucing
betina yang menggoda2 kucing
jantan untuk mengawan...wanita
yang berpurdah yang kononnya
wanita paling pemalu(tak mau orang
lihat wajah merek) pun pamerkan
gambar mereka walaupun berpurdah
di fb untuk tatapan jutaan lelaki
bukan mahram,mereka tanpa segan
silu bergurau senda,tanpa malu
inbox lelaki dan
sebagainya...sekarang akal mereka
tidak dapat jaga diri mereka,bahkan
sifat malu juga tidak dapat jaga diri
mereka..jadi siapa yang
bertanggungjawab menjaga maruah
para bidadari rasulullah kalau bukan
LELAKI???
lelaki yang couple2 dan yang
bersayang2 dengan bukan mahram
atas nama "tunang" tu..tolong
lah....korang ada akal kuat..korang
tak bodoh....korang nak memusuhi
Allah dan rasul,itu hak korang...tapi
korang kena sedar,nanti korang pun
akan ada anak perempuan,korang
suke ke jantan tah mana-mana
berhubung,bermanja,bersayang
secara haram dengan anak
perempuan korang?kalau korang
redha...nampak sangat korang dayus
dan lelaki dayus nabi khabarkan
mereka DIHARAMKAN SYURGA
KEPADANYA WALAUPUN BAUNYA..

-copied-

Moga cerita ini dapat membuka mata serta hati anda wahai kaum adam..juga buat kaum hawa..benda x jadi kalau satu pihak sahaja yg layan..moga dapat kita sama2 menjaga hati & hanya yg halal sahaja kita dekati serta cintai..insyaAllah :)

"nabi utuskan
para lelaki sebagai penjaga para
wanita bukan perosak mereka....bagi
kamu,couple,chatting,cakap dalam
phone semua itu dosa kecil
sedangkan ia jelas haram kerana
Allah haramkan kita untuk dekati
zina...."

Sempurna itu tidak sempurna!

Aku belajar utk menerima kekurangan diri aku..
Aku juga belajar utk menerima kekurangan orang lain..
Kerana aku tahu tiada manusia yang sempurna..
Setiap manusia mempunyai definisi sempurna yg tersendiri..
Jadi, sesama manusia tiada definisi sempurna yg sebenar2nya..
Manusia yang sempurna adalah manusia yg tidak sempurna..
Belajarlah menghargai kekurangan yg ada..
Dan janganlah riak mahupun takbur dengan kelebihan yg ada..
Kerana semua itu milik Allah..
Tiada yg sempurna melainkan Allah..
Be humble, respect others & u will be happy with everything..

Criteria for a man to be suitable to marry ;)

A sister asked Sheikh Yawar Baig a question regarding marriage;

This was his response.

Question:

I want to get married to this man in my university who says that the best thing for him is to get married to get out of the temptations that surround him. He is still a student on scholarship and has no income or career. What is your advice?

Answer:

جزاك اللهُ خيراً for your question. My advice is that you learn to eat grass. If you marry someone without an income, that is what you will need to be able to do at some point. Sorry to be rude – but as George Bernard Shaw said, ‘You must never be afraid to offend people because that is the only time that they listen.’ So I hope you are offended and can wake up from the hormone induced dream that you are in before it turns into a nightmare.

For a man to be suitable to marry, you must look for three things:

1. How is his Deen?
-Is he on the Shari’ah and Sunnah?
-Is he particular to avoid the doubtful things? (Does he eat doubtful chickens and drink Coke/Pepsi?)
-How are his manners? Not to you – but to all around him.
-Is he argumentative and combative about everything? Is he an auto-refuter?
-Is he kind and considerate to those weaker than him? Does he thank the waiter and the doorman?
-Is there a smile on his face or a frown? Does he have a sense of humor?
-Is he smart? Does he read more than comics? Can you have a serious, sensible conversation with him?
-Is his brain bigger than his biceps? (If he proposed to you without an income, I seriously doubt that it is)
-Is his language that of inclusion or exclusion – looking down on others who he considers as not so good Muslims as himself?
-Does he praise more or criticize more? Is he forgiving of others or eager to expose their faults?
-How particular is he about avoiding Haraam (Sorry to point out, but if he was having conversations with you without a Mahram, he and you were already indulging in Haraam)?

2. Can he support himself?
-How? Not dreams and smooth talk – but actual nuts and bolts. Here and now?
-Has he completed his education? How much longer will that take?
-Will his family support this marriage of yours until he can get a job (lousy situation to be in but better than eating grass)?
-What is his profession and how soon can he get a job?
-What kind of income does he have today and what can he look forward to?
-Is that enough to support you and your family?
-Believe me, today you may think that you can live on love and sunshine but I doubt that you can pay your rent with sunshine. Neither will sunshine buy you bread – that’s why I said that you may like to start eating grass because that is free and maybe you can even hire your services out as a walking lawn mower and make some money as well.

3. How compatible are you with each other and each other’s families?
-That means that you wake up and ask some basic questions like what do they eat?
-Where do they come from? Country and culture. Not race. I have seen marriages between Africans and African Americans break up in six months because Africans and African Americans are two different cultures, even though racially they are the same. Race doesn’t matter. Culture does. Difference is not bad. Incompatibility is. And many a time, difference translates as incompatibility.
-What is the relationship and expectation from the parents in law?
-How do they live? Are they from a multi-marriage culture where your husband-to-be who can’t resist temptations today will once again not be able to resist temptations and will take unto himself another wife; and perhaps another. So how will you take to that?
-What kind of financial background do your husband’s family come from? Is there too much of a disparity?
My mother used to say, ‘To patch a tear in a muslin garment you don’t use gold brocade.’

Finally of all the dumb reasons to marry is to ‘stay out of temptation’. I know I have just put myself in line for the Fatawa of all my ‘strong’ brothers who will strike me down with this and that Hadith. But before I go down, let me say to you, my dear sister, in plain words; What he is saying in effect is that he needs a legal means for sex.

So what happens when the hormones are not boiling any longer? He’s not marrying you for yourself. He is marrying you for himself. That is the worst reason to get married to anyone for. Believe me and wake up. Or keep sleeping and find out for yourself when the dream turns into a nightmare. After all nightmares are also dreams.

I will tell you what happens in 9 cases out of 10. When things get too tough and you demand time, attention and money, he will walk away and you will be left holding the baby – quite literally. Then what are you going to do?

So wake up and answer this questionnaire and if he comes out on top, by all means marry him. If not suggest to him to take cold showers – maybe he should put his bed in the shower – and you focus on your education. You came to the university to study. Not to look at boys. He came to study. Not to look at girls. Concentrate on your education. Get distinction. And go home. And then see what Allah has in store for you in terms of your Rizq – a husband you can look up to and be proud of. A husband who will be proud of you and treat you like a princess – not only during your honeymoon but for all your life.

I wish you all the best in this world and the next.
