...tamu borneo '07...

terlalu banyak kenangan manis,
mirip kenangan di Oz..

beberapa peristiwa byk mengajar,
ujian menjadi tarbiyah agar lebih sabar..

bila hati hati berkumpul di bawah matlamat yg sama,
ia ibarat berada di satu tempat yg sgt indah...
namun, kita kembali kepada realiti..
perjuangan harus diteruskan..

sudah sunnah orang berjuang,
berjuang memang pahit...
kerana syurga itu manis....

wahai sahabat, adik2, ikhwah akhawat yg disayangi,
semoga kita terus thabat, menempuh rintangan dan ujian..
ternyata jalan ini memang payah, penuh dgn liku,
namun, yakin lah dengan janji Allah...
moga kita jumpa lagi,
jika tidak di dunia, di jannah insya Allah..

Ya Allah,
Engkau mengetahui bahawa hati-hati ini telah berkumpul kerana mengasihiMu,
bertemu untuk mematuhi (perintah)Mu, bersatu memikul beban dakwahMu,
hati-hati ini telah mengikat janji setia untuk mendaulat dan menyokong syari’atMu,
maka eratkanlah ya Allah akan ikatannya. Kekalkanlah kemesraan antara hati-hati ini. Tunjuklah kepada hati-hati ini akan jalanNya..
Penuhkanlah hati ini dengan cahaya Rabbani Mu yang tidak kunjung malap,
Lapangkanlah hati-hati ini dengan limpahan iman/keyakinan dan keindahan tawakkal kepadaMu. Hidup suburkan hati-hati ini dengan ma’rifat tentangMu……
Jika Engkau mentaqdirkan mati, maka matikanlah pemilik hati-hati ini sebagai para syuhada dalam perjuangan agamaMu. Engkaulah sebaik-baik Sandaran dan sebaik-baik Penolong. Ya Allah, Perkenankanlah permintaan ini..

ikhlas,

user friendly vs sophisticated/high tech..

salam my dear readers,
if we would like to get something, any product like appliances, or gadgets maybe, user friendly will mainly be a feature/element that we normally prioritise. most of the time, it precedes the element of 'canggih' or stylish. here, i just would like to share two situations for us to ponder.

Situation 1:
If I ask most people, especially the youngsters, what brand of handphone would they like to buy or look for? the answer would always be Nokia. because of what, the user friendly element. i can't deny that it offers user friendliness more than any other brands do. But, the issue here is, if we spend our money to buy Nokia products, who do you think will smile cheerfully and who will suffer badly? The answers are as follows:

• We will be very happy because we can easily use the phone without reading through the manual in fact, because it is user friendly.
• The yaya (my indication for the jews) will be happier because muslims contribute our money to them, and indirectly, helping them to kill the muslims in Palestine and Lubnan. They are also happy because their plans through psychological war are successfully implemented and objective has been achieved.
• Our brothers and sisters in Palestine will suffer. They will be killed. They will cry and shout for help from all muslims in the world.

Hence, Muslims keep on buying Yaya products, whilst our families in Palestine are dying.. just for you to ponder and reflect..

Situation 2:
I recently went to Kota Kinabalu attended a course there. Was impressed with the beautiful scenery, peaceful beach, Subhanallah. Promenade's view was tremendous. I guess, that's the reason why tourists come and go from the hotel, non stop. Ok, anyway, I went to visit a few sisters in UMS, also a nice university. I would rate it as second most beautiful architecture/landscaping of a local university after UIA. Erm, btw, don't quote my rating ya :) Again, I was impressed and overwhelmed with its mosque. The structure was sooo sophisticated, and beautiful. Nice to see, and I appreciate the arts of human, well actually, the arts of God. But, the only thing that sadden me is that, the location of the mosque is very far from the hostel, therefore, it's not user friendly at all. People will think twice whether to go to the mosque or not, especially for night prayers. It takes a longg walk to reach there, plus the hills up and down. Erm, can you imagine, a beautiful mosque without an adequate jemaah? What is the role of a mosque actually.. Who do you think will smile and who do you think will suffer here?

• again, the yaya or kafiirun will smile gracefully because their plans of ghawzul fikr (perang minda/perang psikologi) went well. Muslims still declare as Muslims, but not a practising Muslim. Lifestyle is following the west, Quran is no more the nearest reference, Allah is no longer the only God (because indirectly other things become indirect gods as well). The number of jemaah in the mosque is declining, mosque is viewed as tourist attraction, because of the architecture etc, or at least, Muslims will pray Jumaah prayer only. That's the hidden agenda.
• Muslims will suffer. Get carried away from the Quran, the right path. Got confused with wrong and rights.

I also remembered last week I went back to KL for National Accountants Conference held in KL Convention Centre. I was also impressed with the design, interiors and the building structure. That feeling appeared when I was in the auditorium. Then, during lunch break, I went to the surau for prayers, I was upset by the location, size and quality of the surau. It is located in a not user friendly floor, the size is too tiny for women to pray jemaah, and.... the tile used I think is the cheapest tile after toilet tile yg kecil2 tu. While it is carpeted in the hallway, auditorium and walkway, why can't surau be carpeted as well? Ermm. Or at least, quality tiles. Sedih sedih.

Ironically, Nokia is created and branded as User friendly. Mosque is always labelled as not user friendly. How smart is the yaya.. and syaitanurrajim.. Syaitan has already declared the war since the day Adam was created. And now, so do the yaya.

Let's pray to Allah, to give us strength, to strive and fight against our enemies. Let's pray to Allah, to guide us to the correct path.. May Allah bless us always.

things become more complicated,
challenges are coming day by day,
i have to stay strong.. i have to hide the feelings..
but, i failed.

how shall i hide my expression??
learn, learn and learn..

jazakillah ukhti for everything,
since you are here,
your continuous support are always meaningful.

our priority stays,
anything for dakwah..... (quote of the day, everyday)
any hidden agenda?
any personal interest?
any society interest?

no, no, no...
anything for dakwah....

Salam Eid Mubarak to all Muslims,

hope it's not too late to wish all of you, Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri ;)

Maaf zahir batin.

Ujian adalah tarbiyyah dari Allah..

Sangat tertarik dengan ayat tersebut. Lately ni, aku dikelilingi dengan sahabat2 yg menghadapi ujian, besar dan kecil. Walaupun ia tidak melibatkan diriku directly, namun, ku turut merasainya seperti cubit paha kiri paha kanan terasa juga. Masya Allah, ujian -ujian yang menimpa orang di sekeliling telah memberi effect yg sgt besar terhadap diri ini. Bermula dengan housemate ku terlibat dengan accident, kawan ku sendiri, akhawat lagi seorang, dan hari ini office mate ku pula. Tidak cukup dengan accident, ada antara sahabat2 masing masing menghadapi dugaan hidup, be it family, kerja, etc.

Kesenangan yang datang
Tak akan selamanya
Begitulah selepas susah ada kesenangan
Seperti selepas malam datangnya siang
Oleh itu waktu senang jangan lupa daratan

teringat lagu nyanyian The Zikr, Kehidupan. Mari kita reflect balik diri kita,sepatutnya kita ucapkan bersyukur kan kerana Allah bg ujian kepada kita, kerana Allah pilih kita, dan Allah sayangkan kita.Allah berfirman, 'Apakah manusia itu mengira bahawa mereka dibiarkan mengatakan: "Kami telah beriman", sedang mereka tidak diuji lagi?' [Al-Ankabut:2]

Moga ketakwaan kita bertambah dengan ujian dan dugaan yg ditimpa..

Seorang daie kah kita?

Malam ni, aku terlalu banyak berfikir.. Beberapa persoalan terus menerjah ke kepalaku..

Adakah layak kita mengaku kita seorang daie jika kita tidak mahu mengajak? Adakah layak mengatakan kita seorang penggerak jika kita segan untuk mengajak? Adakah layak kita merasakan kita ameerah, naqibah, ketua biro xyz, ketua persatuan islam xyz, ketua lujnah xyz, jika kita masih memikirkan kesan atau natijah sekiranya kita mengajak?

Nauzubillah min zalik.. Ya Allah, Kau tetapkan la hati2 kami di jalan agama Mu.. Kau berikan lah kekuatan kepada kami yang sentiasa yakin bahawa ini lah jalan kami.. Kau layakkan lah kami untuk berdiri sebaris dengan pejuang2 Islam terdahulu.. Kau jauhkan lah kami dari sifat complacent dan selesa.. Kau redhailah perjuangan kami, yang sebenarnya mengaku sebagai daie...

Ameen..

"Bidang dakwah Islamiah sangat memerlukan saudari muslimat yang menyeru manusia kepada Allah, supaya memainkan peranannya di kalangan puteri bangsanya. Sesungguhnya wanita hari ini, kecuali yang telah mendapat taufik Allah, telah dijadikan boneka oleh musuh-musuh Islam untuk meruntuhkan dirinya dan memusnahkan manusia. Tetapi kita hendaklah menjadikannya sebagai wanita yang salihah yang turut bersama kita untuk memperbaiki yang rosak dan membangunkan yang maaruf dan merobohkan yang mungkar dan menghapuskan yang batil menyokong kemuliaan dan memerangi kehinaan" [Mustafa Masyhur]

Sedikit message untuk sahabat disayangi...

Denise -> jangan cakap malas dah ya
Ein -> tak mau cakap selalu sedih ok?
Ilani -> janganlah cakap malas juga :)

"So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief. Verily, with every difficulty there is relief. Therefore, when thou art free (from thine immediate task), still labour hard" [94:5-7]


sayang antunna fillah..

Perang finally berakhir..

Hari ke 7 berpuasa di bulan Ramadhan, aku sudah berperang. Berperang dengan siapa? Syaitan yg direjam sedang dikurung..

Diriwayatkan dr Abu Hurairah r.a katanya, Rasulullah bersabda:
Apabila tiba bulan Ramadhan, dibuka pintu-pintu syurga dan ditutup pintu-pintu neraka serta syaitan-syaitan dibelenggu..

So, dengan siapa aku berperang semalam? Perasaan ku bergelojak.. After berbuka puasa bersama my colleagues + bosses semlm, langkahku berat sangat utk ke masjid bersolat terawih. Sedangkan awal-awal lagi ku sudah plan untuk berjumpa dengan seorang adik di surau sebuah kampung. Di saat itu, memang terasa berlaku tarik marik antara hak dan batil, quran dan al-hawa (nafsu), islam dan jahiliyyah. Namun, akhirnya.. ku fikir ku tewas. Kerana kaki ku menekan laju pedal minyak terus pulang ke rumah...

Owh, perang masih berlaku sebenarnya, ku masih sedang berperang dengan diri ku sendiri..
Sesampai di rumah, housemate menegur 'tak pegi terawih di masjid mlm ni?' Masya Allah, aku baru perasan, minggu ni, hampir setiap hari aku tiada di rumah semasa waktu berbuka, hak housemate terhadapku terumbang ambing.. Lalu, Allah sedang memberi peluang utk ku tunaikan hak terhadap housemate ku..

Allah Maha Penyayang.. Ku terus tersenyum dan menjawab.. 'tak, baru balik ni. Nak solat sekali? Jom? Kita solat Isyak dan terawih berjemaah sekali ya'. Lalu dia menjawab. 'ok, kat bilik salwa la, besar sikit..' Jauh di sudut hati, ku terus bersyukur.. Ku tetap menang dalam peperangan tadi. Ramadhan bulan latihan, banyak mengajar erti peperangan (dengan nafsu/diri sendiri), Ramadhan bulan memupuk silaturrahim, platform yg baik utk start bina hubungan dengan sesiapa sahaja, atau pun mengeratkan lagi hubungan sedia ada.. Ramadhan bulan penuh keberkatan, penuh rahmat...


it's not too late to wish, marhaban ya Ramadhan...

Lesson Learnt

While driving early of the night today, I received a text msg from sahabat dikasihi bertanyakan kabar (akibat tidak datang office pagi ni). Msg dia lebih kurang berbunyi; ' bulan puasa ni, slowdown sikit movement, pegi yg termampu'. Selepas membaca msg itu, perasaan ku bergolak antara dua. Pertama, terasa kesalahan tidak menjaga kesihatan, teringat salah satu muwasafat seorang daie adalah Qawiyyul Jismi ataupun kuat/sihat tubuh badan. Pentingnya menjaga aspek ini untuk menjadikan kita seorang Muslim yang sempurna. Kedua, sedangkan Nabi dan para sahabat dapat berperang pada bulan Ramadhan, napakah aku begitu lemah sekali. Jadi, teruskan perjuangan mu wahai diri ini.

Lesson learnt for today is, please take care of your health.. Nabi cakap, 'mukmin yang kuat itu lebih baik dan lebih dikasihi Allah dari mukmin yang lemah, tetapi pada keduanya ada kebaikan'.

Moga Allah terus beri kekuatan kepada kita..

On the authority of Ibn 'Umar, radiyallahu 'anhuma, who said: The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, took me by the shoulder and said:
"Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a traveler/wayfarer." Ibn 'Umar used to say: "When evening comes, do not expect (to live till) morning, and when morning comes, do not expect (to live till) evening. Take from your health (a preparation) for your illness, and from your life for your death." [Riwayat Al-Bukhari]

Dear heart,
'So be patient. Verily, the Promise of Allah is true… ' [40:55]

I am going back to Bintulu today ETD 1330.
Will miss my blog again :)
Till then, hope to blog there soon..

Take care all!

Another year older..
If you ask me what is the day I like most, it would be birthdays! Be it mine, or others'.
I love birthdays.. making other people happy, and feel appreciated, is so much of fun and loves. Some people don't like knowing that she/he's growing older, but, age is truly just a number. For me, I will be the most happieest person, when knowing that today is someone's birthday and every day I will look forward to wish a person, a very happy birthday.

And yesterday, is the most meaningful day in my life EVER.
Thank you to all whom remembered.. hugs and kisses to all!
I am touched until now, knowing that a lot actually remembered.

I am growing man! No more twenty-two year old executive, the youngest executive working in MLNG processing plant. From now onwards, I will learn to be more independent, less clumsy, and thinking more about future.


Happy 23rd birthday, Salwa...

when ukhuwwah built is because of Allah
I hit a car today at Sungai Besi Toll. Unfortunately.
Today, again.. aku menghargai persahabatan kerana Allah..
It's Kimah's car, her mom's. Kata Kimah, Allah nak menguji persahabatan kita,
dan akhirnya, dia berlapang dada.. kerana ukhuwah fillah...

Ku bersyukur padamu Allah,
Moga Kau tetapkan hati-hati kami dalam agama Mu..

Utilisation of A Day
Back in KL for few outstanding items to settle. Took a long leave, until 9th. Jazakillah Fazz for temaning me the whole day yesterday. I managed to settle all the things that I have planned to. By the way, a lot of things I've learned while being together with Fazz semalam.

• sahabat fillah will do anything for u, for the cause of Him
• Planning to fail is better than failing to plan
• Walk the talk- As Saff: 2-3

Again a reminder to myself and others. We have committed to something, which definitely brings you closer to Allah, so please please, walk the talk. Am afraid that kita jadi cakap tak serupa bikin. Go Salwa Go!

time flies...
today, I was so happy, tertunai impian to meet the former brissies, not all managed to come, but at least there were some :) we had lunch at nandos today, purposely to recall the same place back in brisbane. haha. how funny, but nandos today tasted really good. anyways, had such a really super great time, catching up, updating each other, and lots more. Actually, it's quite impossible to gather everyone back, since everyone has different commitment and responsibility. I am thankful anyway, for the keberkatan masa. Within 3 days i spent in Tower 1 for my training, I did manage to catch up with quite a number of ppl. Happy sgt2. Next time, I will try to catch the others that I missed out.

Unfortunately, this time wouldn't be able to meet any of beloved tkcian peeps.
Wish all of you are in klcc, can meet everyone in one go :D But, I will make time to meet u girls soon insya Allah. When I come home again for hols, not work. :)

Ok all, have a good weekend. I am gonna have one, going back tomorrow to Bintulu.
Wassalam.

I'M HOME!

Lately, always have opportunity to come back home. Alhamdulillah. Actually, I was on official travelling most of the time. Attending meetings, or training session, having groupwide discussion, standardisation etc. This time, I have to sit for a test on current SAP system (a system used to monitor financial transactions) that has been modified. Work is fun at times. But at the moment, I am still in the learning stage, a lot more things to learn, and korek from the experienced ones. I have to enjoy what I am doing right now, if not, it's worthless. I admit at times, works cracked your brain, pissed you off, and increased your blood pressure. haha. That makes me missing myself being a student. When I browsed my photo album just now, I suddenly found this pic of my room when I lived in Cromwell College during my 2nd year.




Wah, I was quite organised before. Actually, I am still. But, things get messy when you have piles of documents/works to finish after. Lama-lama, jadi huru hara. Filing ntah ke mana, apa ntah ke mana. Haha. Nways, can't wait to become a student again, it will be next year insya Allah. But, definitely it will be different from last time. Dulu, full time student, mmg best. But now, partially executive and partially student. Can't imagine how am I going to manage my time. Pray for me.

Happy 22nd Birthday, Nadia Denise.... (25 Oct)

once upon a time....

miss that very moment... ukhuwah built is unforgettable.. hoping that, each and everyone in the pic, be it anywhere you are, still remember this very moment, the intention was purely because of Allah.. selamat terus berjuang kerana Nya.
