Hatred!


Humans can barely live without hatred? True or false? That is just a hypothesis. Wallahu'alam.


Hablum minallah wa hablum minannas

(relation with Allah n relation with humans)


This is very important!! yeah.. So, hatred must be conquered!!! Or at least try ur best to conquer it.. Ok?


Now let me share with you something that my friend shared with me.. Like they say, sharing is caring!!! haha...


Ok.. the friend of mine said at the end of the day, before we go to sleep at night that we should:


1. muhasabah ourselves (think abt what we did all day n make an evaluation on ouselves, n also try to be better n better on the following days).


2. read the al-fatihah for the prophets, sahabat (friends) of the prophets, our parents, those who we love, n also THOSE WHO WE DISLIKE/HATE.


insyaallah, if we make it a habit n DO IT IKHLAS (BECAUSE OF ALLAH), everyone will like us n insyaallah, hatred will decrease from time to time.


You know what, my cousin's son, Aliff, who is only 12 years old, posted on his myspace: "Aku maafkan kawanku setiap hari" (I forgive my friend everyday). Alhamdulillah. So sweet of him eyh? Well, I think that it is very nice of him to do so. Subhanallah. If he's 12 n he can do so, I can do it too, right? N so do u!!! So let us forgive n forget other people's mistakes. Look at our own mistakes instead, ok? Then only we can improve ourselves to become better muslims n muslimahs. Insyaallah. Let's!!!


Life will be more harmonious n peaceful when there is no hatred. Insyaallah.


PS: If you ask for world peace, u urself should start creating peace. N invite others to do the same. Insyaallah, peace is not impossible.


Wallahu'alam. = )

Love Allah


Believe in Allah

Hmm.. U know what? We Muslims must believe in Allah, believe in Allah's promises. Yes, totally!! N which promise am I gonna write about now? U wanna know? Just read up k!

Before we were even born, Allah had ordered then angels (malaikat) to write out our partners in life aka soul mate (jodoh). N Allah promised that a good person will get a good partner. N I believe so! U should too!! Hence, there is no need to worry abt who will be our partner, worry about how good we are instead. We must try to keep on improving ourselves, right? There is also no need of coupling. Yup, coupling. It is unnecessary. Why would we want to couple up? I mean, its ok to get to know each other but dont make it as if that person is mine, n I'm his/her's. Because we are actually Allah's. Right? N if that person gives us inspiration, we actually dont need that inspiration coz u know what? Islam should be ur inspiration. N also, u know what? Whoever does something with the intention (niat) of helping Islam or doing it becoz of Allah, I tell u.. Allah will help that person, even the devils (syaitan) couldnt disturb us. Cool right? Well, I think it's cool!! Haha..

My plan:
1. Get to know, but dont go over the line.
2. Be patient, believe in Allah's promises.
3. Improve myself n be a better muslimah.
4. If any trouble comes ahead, ask for Allah's help.
(To Allah we pray n to Allah we ask for help)

Other opinions could be posted as comments or other possible ways. Wallahu'alam.

You Are Never Alone - Zain Bhikha

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1E1IMycJbk
Sometimes, when the world's not on your side
You don't know where to run to
You don't know where to hide.
You gaze, at the stars in the sky
At the mountains so high
Through the tears in your eyes.
Looking for a reason,to replace what is gone.
Just remember, remember
That you are never alone.
You are never alone (you are never alone)
Just reach into your heart
And Allah is always there.
You are never alone (you are never alone)
Through sorrow and through grief
Through happiness and peace
You are never alone.
So now as you long for your past
Prepare for your future
But knowing nothings going to last
You see this life is but a road
A straight and narrow path
To our final abode
So travel well O Muslim
And Paradise will be your home
And always remember
That you are never alone.
You are never alone (you are never alone)
Just reach into your heart
And Allah is always there.
You are never alone (Allah is there)
Through sorrow and through grief
Through happiness and peace
You are never alone.
You are never alone (you are never never alone)
Just reach into your heart
And Allah is always there.
You are never alone (you are never alone)
Through sorrow and through grief
Through happiness and peace
You are never alone.

Kisah Rasullullah S.A.W

This is a copy n paste post. Hence, it is as original, in Malay. However, upon any requests, I could make a translation of it into English. It is about Rasulullah s.a.w. *Credits to Baim who emailed me this.. Thanks, Baim!! = )

1) Kalau ada pakaian yang koyak, Rasulullah menampalnya sendiri tanpa perlu menyuruh isterinya. Beliau juga memerah susu kambing untuk keperluan keluarga mahupun untuk dijual.

2) Setiap kali pulang ke rumah, bila dilihat tiada makanan yang sudah siap di masak untuk dimakan, sambil tersenyum baginda menyinsing lengan bajunya untuk membantu isterinya di dapur. Sayidatina'Aisyah menceritakan 'Kalau Nabi berada di rumah, beliau selalu membantu urusan rumahtangga.

3) Jika mendengar azan, beliau cepat-cepat berangkat ke masjid, dan cepat-cepat pula kembali sesudah selesai sembahyang.'

4) Pernah baginda pulang pada waktu pagi.Tentulah baginda teramat lapar waktu itu. Tetapi dilihatnya tiada apa pun yang ada untuk sarapan. Yang mentah pun tidak ada kerana Sayidatina 'Aisyah belum ke pasar. Maka Nabi bertanya, 'Belum ada sarapan ya Humaira?' (Humaira adalah panggilan mesra untuk Sayidatina 'Aisyah yang bererti 'Wahai yang kemerah-merahan' )Aisyah menjawab dengan agak serba salah, 'Belum ada apa-apa wahai Rasulullah.'Rasulullah lantas berkata, 'Jika begitu aku puasa saja hari ini.' tanpa sedikit tergambar rasa kesal di raut wajah baginda.

5) Sebaliknya baginda sangat marah tatkala melihat seorang suami sedang memukul isterinya. Rasulullah menegur, 'Mengapa engkau memukul isterimu?'Lantas soalan itu dijawab dengan agak gementar,'Isteriku sangat keras kepala! Sudah diberi nasihat dia tetap degil juga, jadi aku pukul lah dia.''Aku tidak bertanyakan alasanmu,' sahut Nabi s. a. w.' Aku menanyakan mengapa engkau memukul teman tidurmu dan ibu kepada anak-anakmu? '

6) Pernah baginda bersabda, 'sebaik-baik lelaki adalah yang paling baik,kasih dan lemah lembut terhadap isterinya.' Prihatin,sabar dan tawadhuknya baginda dalam menjadi ketua keluarga langsung tidak sedikitpun menjejaskan kedudukannya sebagai pemimpin umat.

7) Pada suatu ketika baginda menjadi imam solat. Dilihat oleh para sahabat,pergerakan baginda antara satu rukun kesatu rukun yang lain amatsukar sekali.Dan mereka mendengar bunyi menggerutup seolah-olah sendi-sendi pada tubuh baginda yang mulia itu bergeser antara satu sama lain. Sayidina Umar yang tidak tahan melihat keadaan baginda itu langsung bertanya setelah selesai bersembahyang,
'Ya Rasulullah, kami melihat seolah-olah tuan menanggung penderitaan yang amat berat, tuan sakitkah ya Rasulullah?''Tidak, ya Umar. Alhamdulillah, aku sihat dan segar.'
'Ya Rasulullah.. .mengapa setiap kali tuan menggerakkan tubuh, kami mendengar seolah-olah sendi bergeselan di tubuh tuan? Kami yakin engkau sedang sakit...' desak Umar penuh cemas.
Akhirnya Rasulullah mengangkat jubahnya. Para sahabat amat terkejut. Perut baginda yang kempis, kelihatan dililiti sehelaikain yang berisi batukerikil, buat untuk menahan rasa lapar baginda.Batu-batu kecil itulah yang menimbulkan bunyi-bunyi halus setiap kali bergeraknya tubuh baginda.
'Ya Rasulullah! Adakah bila tuan menyatakan lapar dan tidak punya makanan kami tidak akan mendapatkannya buat tuan?'Lalu baginda menjawab dengan lembut, 'Tidak para sahabatku. Aku tahu, apapun akan engkau korbankan demi Rasulmu. Tetapi apakah akan aku jawab dihadapan ALLAH nanti, apabila aku sebagai pemimpin,menjadi beban kepada umatnya?' 'Biarlah kelaparan ini sebagai hadiah ALLAH buatku, agar umatku kelak tidak ada yang kelaparan di dunia ini lebih-lebih lagi tiada yang kelaparan di Akhirat kelak.'

8) Baginda pernah tanpa rasa canggung sedikitpun makan di sebelah seorang tua yang dipenuhi kudis, miskin dan kotor.

9) Hanya diam dan bersabar bila kain rida'nya direntap dengan kasar oleh seorang Arab Badwi hingga berbekas merah dilehernya. Dan dengan penuh rasa kehambaan baginda membasuh tempat yang dikencing si Badwi di dalam masjid sebelum menegur dengan lembut perbuatan itu.

10) Kecintaannya yang tinggi terhadap ALLAH swt dan rasa kehambaan yang sudah sebati dalam diri Rasulullah saw menolaksama sekali rasa ke tuanan.

11) Seolah-olah anugerah kemuliaan dari ALLAH langsung tidak dijadikan sebab untuknya merasa lebih dari yang lain, ketika di depan ramai mahupun dalam keseorangan.

12) Pintu Syurga telah terbuka seluas-luasnyauntuk baginda, baginda masih lagi berdiri di waktu-waktu sepi malam hari,terus-menerus beribadah hinggakan pernah baginda terjatuh lantaran kakinya sudah bengkak-bengkak.

13) Fizikalnya sudah tidak mampu menanggung kemahuan jiwanya yang tinggi. Bila ditanya oleh Sayidatina 'Aisyah, 'Ya Rasulullah, bukankah engaku telah dijamin Syurga? Mengapa engkau masih bersusah payah begini?'Jawab baginda dengan lunak, 'Ya 'Aisyah, bukankah aku ini hanyalah seorang hamba? Sesungguhnya aku ingin menjadi hamba-Nya yang bersyukur.'

Rasulullah s. a. w. bersabda,'SAMPAIKAN LAH PESANKUWALAUPUN SEPOTONGAYAT..'

Be a Great Muslimah

An opinion I would like to share..

A couple of months ago, I've decided to be a much normal teenage girl as in less extreme, if u know what I mean.. But I didnt only become less extreme, I became a dont-care-girl who is so-NOT-extreme. That's the problem. It takes time to change u know, n it takes more time to change back to your usual self. These problems made me think, n think, n think... Like other teenages at my age, I'm searching for my real self, my own identity... I figured that a big part of my identity is adjustable or in other words, it can be changed according to how I want it to be. It's not difficult, really.. Not difficult at all. But the way I'm explaining it, well, it sounds complicated eyh? So, who do I want myself to be? Hmm... I want to be a good Muslimah who is casual around guys. I have to, I suppose. U see.. I cant be an extremist, I guess, since I'm most probably gonna be working around them in the future. In fact, they are currently all around me in U. It's not that difficult, I say.. As long as I'm aware of what I can n cannot do. After asking many many questions to others regarding the social rules in Islam.. I figured that there are many opinions, n I should stand for those I most believe in. That's how I decide. Anyway, Islam is never a difficulty, no, of course not, in fact, Islam makes everything smooth n easy. Think about it, will ya?
