Cinta datang pergi

April 26

Rutin harian Anlene, habis solat dzuhur, Quran poket ditarik dari almari tinggi. Belek muka surat bertanda. An-Nahl 103-110 dibaca berselang seli setiap ayat berserta terjemahan. Langung baca by lips. Tak terkesan. "Ok done!" Zip Quran ditarik gopoh. "Facebook! I'm coming. Ada orang Like tak post aku?"

***

Mei 4

Macam biasa selepas solat, Anlene akan buka Quran poket hijaunya. Hari ni nak random. Belek-belek. Terhenti. An-Nahl 103 dimulakan. 104, 105, 106. Tersentak.

"barang siapa kafir kepada Allah setelah dia beriman (dia mendapat kemurkaan Allah), kecuali orang yang dipaksa kafir padahal hatinya tetap tenang dalam beriman (dia tidak berdosa), tetapi orang yang melapangkan dadanya untuk kekafiran, maka kemurkaan Allah menimpanya dan mereka akan mendapat azab yang besar."

Istighfar dilafazkan berkali-kali. Dahi berkerut. Muka tak keruan. 107 disambung baca

"Yang demikian itu disebabkan kerana mereka lebih mencintai kehidupan di dunia daripada akhirat, dan Allah tidak memberi petunjuk kepada kaum yang kafir."

Kali ini, istighfarnya semakin bergema. Hatinya shahdu. Perit pedih pun ada. Matanya dah pedih berair. Hingus meleleh. 108 dibaca

"Mereka itulah orang yang hati, pendengaran dan penglihatannya telah dikunci oleh Allah. Mereka itulah orang yang lalai."

Perkataan akhir itu ditenung lagi. Ghaflah. Heedlessness. Lalai. Part ini tak payah bilang. Semua warna hingus habis meleleh. Bahu terhenjut-henjut. Mata semakin pedih dirasa. Merah. Basah. Mulut beribut beristighfar. Lama. Sungguh!

Dia teragak mahu menyambung atau tidak. Pedih hati menanggung. Mata dipejamkan. Pedih mata berangsur pergi. Digagahi jua untuk menyambung. 109 ditatap.

"Pastilah mereka termasuk orang yang rugi di akhirat nanti"

Nau'dzubillahi minzhalik. Kepala digeleng laju berkali-kali. Mulutnya berkumat-kamit beristighfar. Kepalanya semaking laju menggeleng. Parah. 110 ditatap basah kuyup.

"Kemudian Tuhanmu (pelindung) bagi orang yang berhijrah setelah menderita cubaan, kemudian mereka berjihad dan bersabar, sesungguhnya, Tuhanmu setelah itu benar-benar Maha Pengampun, Maha Penyayang."

"Abah, diorang tak kebulur. Jangan risau. Amacam? Dah boleh kawen tak? :p"

In reality

"First trial guna bahan sedia ada masak ala-ala kurang rajin. Esok special inshaAllah :D"

....
Still couldn't let them 'read between the lines' :P

Day of deciding

Every moment we have opportunity to make a decision to please Allah, our God

-do or not

-either rewarded or punished

-no matter what ever we are doing & wherever

We need to live consciously, thoughtfully

-how I can please Allah

-consciously before we decide

-dont rush deciding

-even the smallest things

-Uncle aka Sheykh Yawar Baig

As good friend restated:

"Every day we need to do istikharah cuz every day is a day of making decision"

Be strongly firm as firmly standing of Mount Uhud

Some guys would prefer women who cover their awrah 'properly'. But how proper is proper? At least to them? Well, is that the sole focus that potentially-to-be-married women should be considered? Yes indeed it is a good consideration! At least covering awrah is a part of the religion commitment. Yet, it does not just hang or stop there. There should be at least a list of preference or consideration for anyone to get married with. Heh!

Wo..here is A tips for you. Sisters. If you have found a potential guy NOT to be 'dating with' before marriage but to be together after marriage, don't put your level lower. Don't ask that guy whether...

'Should I do this?'
'Should I be like this?'
'Do you like if I....'
'Would you prefer if...'

C'mon, be firm with your stand. With yourself. Your level. Tell the guy that..

'I am this kind of person...
'I want this...'
'I don't like...'
'Here are my principles...'

Be strongly firm as firmly standing of Mount Uhud

Your are not selling yourself sisters. It is not about 'your price' whether should be put it higher or otherwise. It is about being yourself parallel to your stand. your principles. If he accepts you as you are, then glad tiding!

And, this is not about being resistant to chance. Nope! My opinion, if he could accept your stand or principles now, may be he has the similarity with your principles and knowledge as you possess or perhaps more than that. In the future time, I mean after marriage, he would be available to correct you if you have done something wrong and he himself ready to be corrected. InshaAllah. Bi'ithnillahita'ala

After all, your couple (husband/wife) is the reflection of yourself as mentioned by Dr Muhaya. Allah knows the best and may He bless us all.

Staying steadfast after Ramadhan

I know, I know still in Sha'baan. Yet, we can start putting the aim before shooting right. Knowing what should be doing and what should be done right before, during and after Ramadhan. Just get the Ramadhan kit prepared!

This is the lesson or would say the reminder by Sheykh Alaa on staying steadfast after the special month of the year! Yeah~ as the reminder for those who are forgetful..me!

You learn something about yourself during Ramadhan. If you CAN leave halal things, that is NOT impossible to leave haram things.

*your eyes are like camera lenses
*your ears and mouth are MP3
*your mind is a modem
*your heart is a hardrive

everything you SEE, HEAR and SAY are downloaded and will be uploaded in the Judgment Day! Will you be proud of your DVD or will you hide it?

Are you worshiping ar-Rahman or Syaitan?

Are you Abu Bakr in public or Abu Jahl in private?

********
Here provided Ramadhan kit as Lesson to those who fast. Alhamdulillah
