Assalamualaikum..

Exam is coming. Just a few weeks away. Preparation? Not looking good. I really have to push myself hard.

Updates..I'm going to get a new shoes. Dah berkali-kali jatuh di depan khalayak ramai. Kasut dah haus. Jalan pun licin, basah. Alhamdulillah Allah tak malukan aku jatuh tergolek. Semua dalam keadaan jatuh yang terkawal dan sopan.

Allah nak bagi tanda tu suruh tukar kasut baru so that boleh jalan jauh pergi ziarah sana sini, bina hubungan hati..cari ilmu, pergi uni selalu.

Okay..nak sangat menulis. nak sangat tangkap gambar. nak sangat semuaaa. tapi limited of time. jadi perlu prioriti.

Nah, aku bagi antara tazkirah paling awesome zaman ini!
Weyh, serius tak tipu.





Ayat for today :

Fasbir lihukmika rabbi wa la tuti3 minhom atsiman au kafura(76:24)

"Therefore be patient with constancy to the Command of thy Lord, and hearken not to the sinner or the ingrate among them."

.selfless.

Assalamualaikum..


Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah 

InsyaAllah just wanna point out about this video. Yup, it is indeed a really good video to start your day as a muslim, a part of a Muslim Ummah. 

Berjiwa besar ---- try to have a big HEART, big DREAM and THINK big! 

Our life is not just about ourselves. Life is about Allah. You are no main character of your life, Allah is the main character in your life! So, what about us? We're nothing. We are somebody when we are doing something for fulfilling our purpose of life. 

Let us train ourselves to think about the Ummah more than ourselves. Try to step out from your comfort zone and start to think of "How can I benefit others?"

We are now in the process of rebuilding the Ummah. Towards achieving the blessings of Allah. This process needs selfless people and people with BIG HEART, BIG DREAM! 

"Perang salib sampai 8 siri
Konstatinopel sampai beratus tahun
Kau expect kau kerja sikit, lepas tu menang ke?"

Pfffftttt!

InsyaAllah this is a reminder for me and you so that we could push ourselves to do better than before. Untuk apa lagi semua tenaga, makanan, minuman, kasih sayang yang kita dapat kalau bukan untuk bekerja keranaNya? 

So how could you utilise all the things that has been given from Allah to you for your personal reason?! 

Feel free to watch the video. Yeah, it's just a short video. I know, you somehow feel lazy to watch that but if you wanna make change, JUST DO IT!

Jazakumullahu khayr for reading this!

Short.Post.about.Ihsan.

Assalamualaikum wbt.

InsyaAllah just nak share je kot pasal Ihsan.

Kalau cakap pasal Ihsan mesti kita akan teringat tentang hadis 2 kan? Yup, kalau hadis 2, Ihsan ialah bila kita solat bagaikan kita nampak Allah atau pon Allah yang nampak kita.

Tapi, saya bukan nak cakap pasal benda tu. Hari tu belajar ttg hadis 17. To be exact nak cakap pasal CIRI-CIRI IHSAN.

ada 4.

1. mengikut syara'
2. ikhlas
3. passion
4. bersungguh-sungguh buat sesuatu sehingga complete

nak stresskan di sini ciri ke 3 & 4.

Kita kena ihsan dalam semua perkara. In every single thing.

Reflect to ourselves kan..sejauh mana kita passionate in every single thing yang kita buat? Sejauh mana betul-betul kita bersungguh-sungguh nak buat sesuatu sampai siap! Kalau lab 3 jam pon, 1 jam terakhir tu dah letih dah, lapar semua ada..huhu.

Yup, tu je kot nak cakap. Moga dapat apa yang saya nak sampaikan.

Doakan saya ya..banyak benda yang perlu dibalancekan..banyak benda yang nak dilihat & dicater tapi mostly kekhilafan diri itu yang membataskan. Study pon kena pulun. Dakwah pun sama. Mohon semua doakan moga Allah pandu setiap langkah saya di bumi Allah ini..lagi-lagi di bumi Auckland ini.

Last but not least, Alhamdulillahhhhhhhhh Alhamdulillllahhhhh for everything, ya Allah! ^_^

how.to.speak.english.with.confidence.

Assalamualaikum wbt

Alhamdulillah Allah still gives us one more chance to work hard for the sake of Him :)

Right, I'm writing this cause I saw a status from my junior here in Auckland, saying that he find difficulties in speaking English and somehow I can see that the junior is pretty much upset and give up with himself. So, that's why I'm making a post with this kind of title, intentionally, to benefit someone that in need to improve her/his English.

First of all, now I'm a second year student and yes, I was a bad English speaker. I once feel so low confidence when it comes to speak in English. I came from a SMKA school which is pretty much I can say we don't really practice English in the school. We speak Malay everyday and we don't have any classmates from different race. All students are Malay.

After I entered my preparation college, KMB, I was stunned by the students there. You know what I mean, the students are all from those prestigious schools like you name it. So, I was really demotivated at that time but I tried my best to speak in English even though I don't really nail it like others. I remembered one of my best classmates or friends (now I should say akhawat) tried so hard to teach me English. I mean, back then, my grammar was not good especially when it comes to speaking English, I got all present and past tenses mixed up. 

It was the help from people surrounding like my English teacher, my classmates really help me a lot. There are many individuals like me tried and worked really hard to become a good English speaker. These people really inspired me to never give up and yes, you can do it if you really want to!  

So, alhamdulillah, now I can speak English with anyone in my university. Be it lecturer or lab tutor or any classmates or lab partner, insyaAllah now I can say that I'm confident to speak English with them. Yup, surely my grammar is not perfect and I always get that "pause moment" to find suitable words to say it in English. I would say, I am still improving my English. Still, there are times that I don't really get what they want to point out especially when one speaks fast with a low voice. 

What I learnt is just practice even though you sucks at it (can I use that word?). No , I use it cause I want you who feel like you cannot speak English and have low-self esteem like myself before to slap yourself and say, "Actually, I can do thisss!!"

In my first year here, I tried to speak with anyone with this not-so-good English. I started at first like when I say a sentence to someone, I will stress the keyword to the person whom I talked to. For example, one of my classmates asked me, "What was the hardest part in the lab just now?"

I answered, "Oh, that part when we DISSECT THE RAT." (caps-lock means I stress that words)

The reason I did that because I was not a good sentence maker so I just highlight the keyword that I want the person to hear so that he/she will understand my point. Yup, I was so low confidence to speak English that I speak with a low tone.

Yup, that was my first step.

Second step would be just go talk to the other person whom you have to speak English to. Alhamdulillah Allah has made me in the situation where I always get lab partner who is not Malaysian. I know it's kind of frustrating but no pain, no gain, right? Just bear with it and keep trying. Keep on speaking with others. I mean you can speak English with your Malay friends too. I bet they are in the same boat with you.  

If anyone doesn't like to speak to us, the person will try stay away from us. So what? Just go to the other person and speak English again. You don't to have be sad with the matter because maybe that person cannot handle it but as far as I know, they are many people that are really helpful and glad to speak English with you. 

Like here in New Zealand, people in services like those who work at the counter or bank or library etc, they're really helpful. There was a time when I asked them to repeat their sentences twice and they are okay with that. They cannot be angry at us because we are the customer. That's one good thing about services here compared to Malaysia. The workers are more patient. 

The last step would be try to hear as much as you can from anyone and copy what they say. Just copy the good not the bad okay. For example, when I went to food court to get something to eat, I learn to order food by copying what they say. That's what I did when my first time to order food. 

You say, "Hi! Can I get one chicken kebab please?" and so on. 

Whatever things that you want to ask from someone, you need to mention the word "please" at the last sentence. It's called bersopan-santun in Malay.

If you want to get better in listening to English, you can try to listen to various lectures from great Islamic speakers. You can improve your listening skill and what's more important, your IMAN! Try Nouman Ali Khan lectures or Yasmin Mogahed or Imam Suhaib Webb or AlQuran Weekly. Seriously, they are awesome muslim people that will never let you down! People say like they keep listening to Rihanna or Justin Bieber to improve their English. There are so many ways to get your English better other than listening to all these craps. 

Remember, Allah is watching us 24-7. (this is for me, actually) 

Okay, last words, just speak English with a smile. If you lost words, just keep calm and think what's the word in your head and at the same time, you can drag the conversation by saying, "How do we say this..hurm..oh yah, it's called _______"

I think that is all. Hope this helps.  

this.is.awesome.

Assalamualaikum..

Feel free to listen to this poem. Truly inspirational. Indeed!



"A gift for me"
by: Ameen Misran

You are gift to me,
a living inspiration for all of humanity.

You are a mother,
you are a sister,
you are a daughter,
you are a wife,
whoever you are,
you will certainly give life.

You were the first one to listen to my maiden cry,
you were the one who raised me without questioning why.

You are the shoulder for me to cry on,
you were the one who corrected me when I went wrong.

You are a gift to me from the start,
how can I not love you with all my heart?

The prophet said "Ashabi kan nujum,"
my companions are like stars,
choose whoever star you want to be and never be doomed!

Be like Khadijah, Aisyah, Hafsah, Safiyyah,
the best women with the best names,
who astounded the world with their fiery flames.

Who says that you are weaklings?
You are no different from us,
you are mujahids, you are martyrs embodied in feministic beings.

You are not created to make hijab tutorials,
you are created to become role models.
You don't deserve to bear a child of an infertile man,
you do not deserve to be taken away by low-life gentlemen.

Your love is too sacred,
only those who are qualified are able to make it.

No poetry in the world can define my feelings when I see you dress up properly,
no word can define how I feel when I see your shyness in preservation but firm courageousness in determination,
you are a blessing in disguise,
you are valuable creations,
priceless manifestations.

Now, I beg you,
you will give never give up,
you will never just quit,
you will never give in,
you will never submit.

You are a gift to me,
a gift to us all of humanity,
The future of Islam is in your hands,
and it begins from where you stand.

.clueless.


Memang
sebagai seorang hamba
memang aku tak tahu langsung
apakah ini salah satu tanda tarikan keimanan
atau tarikan jahiliyyah.

aku langsung putus idea
sama ada inikah klunya atau ini satu tarikan dari graviti kefasikan
ya, langsung putus idea
kerna aku ini marhaen lagi lemah
ilmunya terbatas
tak dapat melihat masa hadapan
adakah ini petunjuk atau sebaliknya.

maka
aku hanya boleh melihatnya dengan bersangka baik pada Allah
ini satu ujian
ini satu training
satu peluang utk Allah latih diri aku untuk aku lebih berusaha menjaga hati
biar putih berseri sekali.

teringat aku pada seorang ukht yang aku rindui
nun jauh mereka di tanah tumpahnya darahku
kata-katanya bermain dalam kepalaku
bercerita tentang keluarga soleh di zaman Abasiyah

"Aku tak sama ada ini rahmat atau musibah, aku hanya bersangka baik kepadaNya."

Moga Allah pandu hati kita bersama di jalanNya.
Wallahu a'lam.

Assalamualaikum wbt

Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah Allah masih lagi memilih hati ini untuk terus teguh di jalan ini untuk kali ini. Yup, perjalanan baru saja bermula. Masih lagi bertatih atau merangkak. Bukan lagi rendah dari itu. Tapi Alhamdulillah masih diberi perasaan itu. Meluap-luap, berapi-api nak tengok Islam itu bangkit kembali.

Akan aku cuba untuk habiskan sisa hidup aku dengan jalan ini.
Akan aku cuba sedaya-upaya aku untuk jalan ini.
Akan aku usaha sebaik mungkin di jalan ini.
Untuk siapa lagi kalau bukan untukNya.

Kerana aku ini hanya si marhaen. Tak ada value bila tak digunakan semua yg ada pada aku keranaNya.
Tak ada value.
Langsung.

Untuk kali yang keempat ini, aku tanam azam yang baru. Buat kali pertama aku betul-betul rasakan ini.
Bukan aku hanya bina diri aku saja untuk menjadi Individu Muslim yang hebat itu, tapi aku mahu untuk menjadikan mereka Individu Muslim yang hebat juga, biar lebih hebat dari aku.

Jadi, perlu usaha lebih. Perlu kerja lebih keras. Perlu train diri lagi mantap.

InsyaAllah sedang diusahakan. Tak banyak tapi akan sentiasa berjalan.

Mohon doa kalian. Jazakumullahu khayr.

kekuatan.dalaman.

Assalamualaikum

kekuatan dalaman.

syaitan itu pandai. tabur cerca, bisik-bisik dalam telinga.
satu benda yang tak pasti, maka syaitan ambil peluang untuk tabur fitnah.

percaya pada ukht. percaya pada ukht.
ukht itu juga seorang manusia macam kau. tak sempurna. maka dia ada kelemahan.

tak pasti itu maka kau perlu kepastian.

dalam otak, fitnah itu pusing-pusing.
dalam hati, kuatkan hati, yakin pada ukht itu sudah buat sehabis baiknya.

bukan hasil yang kau patut lihat tapi usahanya.
Allah pun tak tengok hasil, kan?

yakin dan percaya.
ujian utk jadi orang beriman dan istiqamahkan keimanannya.

lagi satu, perlu pastikan.

mujahadah melawan bisikan syaitan.
hoii syaitan kau boleh bisik saja, tahu takkkk!

done.
