A quick note.

Yesterday post was inspired from Whispers in The Dark. Such a cool person. Remind me of the Whisper of The Heart Movie, love the ending.

Today is such a glorious day! I was greeted with the rains when I woke up, and contemplating whether I should ditch the meeting and earned the rage. Nah, I better get ready, and when I step out, waiting for the bus, the magnificent sun has shined. Normally, it never shows his beautiful self 'till late afternoon. But today, today of all day. And my heart is singing along. The buds, even though they are still in dormant conditions, it has started to appear. Within a month we will have daffodils and tulips, ladies and gentlemen!

On the way back from school, I see the trees whisper to each other, perhaps making peace with the cruel winter at last.

Owh what a beautiful day!

Going to Boots, with a full intention to reward myself. I really want The One, but Lola is nice too. Then last week Amalina introduces me to Miss Cherie, walah. And guess what? The Shop Assistant asks me to smell the Coco Mademoiselle! I've gone crazy momentarily. Dazed, I go out, still indecisively as usual.

I really like Surah Al An'Am ayah 83 to 86. Full of lovely names.

I'm going to the dreamland for a while. Wait for me, will ya?

25 SONGS

Salams,

I'm bored, and of course tired, I have been sitting in front of the laptop for these few days, trying to sort out the LR, and man, I've became fatter. Let's figure out how to answer the above questions, shall we, and beat me, I don't really listen to the musics that much. These will be pretty biased answers then, but what the heck, it's my answer for the day. It may change in the due course, but let that be another mysterious that could be solved in the future.

1 -Childhood? We don't have a radio, hence, we don't listen to any music at all. But one forbidden song in my high school is Isabella. Figure.

2- Whoa. Nah.

3 - Tombo Ati by Opick. Dad develops his love for this song, and asks me to play it repeatedly. He even jots down the lyric, and shows it to his other javarian friends. That's maybe the last song that we enjoy together.

4 - Preclude and Nostalgia by Yanni. It's like to be bathed in the sunlight.

5 - At this moment? Bil Nabil Huda. I'm not into nasyid. Imagine my surprise when I know this song is sang by a Malay group. Nice.

6 - Lots. Deliver Us by Ofra Haza. I used to drive them crazy by playing this song repeatedly day after day. In their house.

7- Past summer? I spent it in Malaysia. I can't remember any songs that can remind me of the sweet scent of summer. Ehm, let me see, Ketika Cinta Bertasbih? Just go along with Kam and sing it with all of our pretty hearts!

8 - First Love? Whoa. Can't remember. The selfish of me never even let me to fall in love too deeply. Fleetingly? Maybe. Sad Love Story by Kim Hee Sun.

9 - Hopeful? It must be the Deliver Us. I am touched by this song to the core. It's like pleading to God with all of your might. Owh, can I add another one? When You Believe.

10 - Lots. Flying Without Wings by Westlife. Firework by Katy Perry. It feels like I'm flying, playing hide and seek with the fairies above the clouds. Watching the golden sunset, and waving good bye to the beautiful moon.

11 - Reflection in Mulan. I love, love, love this movie. You defeat the Hun, girl. Wow.

12 - A Sad Memory by Yiruma. I was bloghopping, then tara, the song comes out out of no where, just like that. It reminds me of the exquisite twilight full of stars.

13 - A former friend? Is that mean that she's dead? No. No no no no.

14 - Whoa. No.

15 - Fall Again by Glenn Lewis, even though I don't know the full lyric. That makes me fall in love over and over again with a song.

16 - Cry? Lots and lots and lots. By Yanni, for example, Yiruma, PeterPan, Mike Mohede, Yuni Shara. You get the idea.

17 - Buttons and Nobody. Hahaha. I couldn't and wouldn't dance.

18 - Love but rarely listen to. Love? And rarely? This question is misleading, ladies and gentlemen. Never impose any misleading question to anyone, ever. Let's see, nahhhh, when I love a song, I listen to it repetitively. Positive.

19 - Irrelevant. I don't have ipod.

20 - Irrelevant. I don't have ipod.

21 - Lots and lots and lots. Take this - Lost Without You, Delta Goodrem.

22 - Hahaha. No.

23 - Lots. Current music that suits for current generation. My brains feel like exploding poops whenever I hear this kind of crap music. Another type of music is rock. Basically songs that the singers scream and rap, not sing.

24 - Owh? Poco-poco. :). Sometimes we use this excuse to exercise. LOL.

25 - All day long? Nah. I'm not that patience. Or sane.

Goodness me, I feel like crying and wailing, long and loud, until you hear. Alas, I couldn't go to the meeting with the puffy eyes, could I.

MAHABBAH

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim,

Assalamualaikum,

Allahumma Solli A'la Saiyidna Muhamad, Waa'la aa'li Saiyidna Muhamad.

Sana sini orang membicarakan tentang majlis maulud nabi. Majlis yang mengagungkan hari kelahiran manusia paling agung yang pernah diciptakan oleh Allah Rabbul Izzati. Ada yang berkata ini bid'ah, ngga perlu diadakan, ada jua yang membantah, ini bid'ah hasanah, apa salahnya, segala perbuatan yang membawa kebaikan seharusnya digalakkan.

Ada jua yang berkata dengan kejinya, alah, buat sahaja majlis, tapi ada terapan sunnah Rasulullah dalam diri? (Wah, lebih kurang lah gitu bahasa kasarnya. Ampun dipinta, ngga pandai menulis).

Terus terang saya ingin bertanya, mengapa isu tentang majlis maulud nabi ini diperbesar-besarkan, walhal banyak lagi majlis-majlis yang mengandungi kemungkaran tidak dihalang? Contoh paling besar, sambutan Sure Heboh, Jom Heboh, Apa Heboh?

It's hard for me to write in good malay, let's try in English, even though the results are probably the same. For those who believe that this majlis maulud nabi wouldn't generate the desired impact, well, let's leave the impact thingy to Robbul-Izzati, shall we. Does He say in Al-Quran:

Maka sesiapa yang Allah kehendaki untuk memberi hidayah petunjuk kepadanya, nescaya Ia melapangkan dadanya (membuka hatinya) untuk menerima Islam; dan sesiapa yang Allah kehendaki untuk menyesatkannya, nescaya Ia menjadikan dadanya sesak sempit sesempit-sempitnya, seolah-olah ia sedang mendaki naik ke langit (dengan susah payahnya). Demikianlah Allah menimpakan azab kepada orang-orang tidak beriman (Al An-Am: 25).

Our main and the only purpose of being is to worship Allah swt. Who are we to slander this good majlis, and condem who believe in its goodness? Even though the participants may not benefited from it, or may be they don't follow the sunnah, or may waste money and time for hosting this majlis, masyaAllah, how could you have these kinds of thinking? It's bad presumption, and it comes from sick hearts. Allah swt has reminded us in Al-Hujuraat (12):

Hai orang-orang yang beriman! Jauhilah kebanyakan dari prasangka, sesungguhnya sebhagaian dari prasangka itu adalah dosa, dan janganlah kamu mencari-cari kesalahan orang lain dan janganlah sebahagian kamu mengumpat sebahagian yang lain. Sukakah salah seorang di antara kamu memakan daging saudaranya yang sudah mati? Maka tentulah kamu merasa jijik kepadanya. Dan bertaqwalah kamu kepada Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Penerima taubat lagi Maha Penyayang.

Be like Habibana 'Ali Zain Al-'Abideen ibn 'Abd A-Rahman Al-Jifri, who offers his prayers in one of the majlis:

Aku mohon kepada Allah swt agar hidupkan kita dengan makna ini (cinta kepada Rasulullah saw), Ya Allah, hidupkanlah makna hubungan dengan Nabi Muhamad saw di dalam jiwa kami. Gerakkanlah dalam diri kami dengan semangat ini, berkatilah mereka yang telah menjayakan program yang baik ini, berikanlah keberkatan kepada mereka yang diundang, dan satukanlah kami dengan orang yang Engkau cintai dan redha, dengan rahmat-Mu , wahai Tuhan yang Maha Pengasih lagi Penyayang. Dan segala puji bagi Allah, Tuhan Sekalian Alam.

Let's offer prayers, instead of condemning, :)

SLANDERING SAHABAH

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim,

Assalamualaikum,

Allahumma Solli A'la Saiyidna Muhamad, Waa'la aa'li Saiyidna Muhamad.

I was youtube hopping on the other days when I saw a video condemning Saidina Umar ra, one of among sahabah Rasulullah saw who are guaranteed a heaven (some of you may not believe it, well, it is up to you, you are the one who need the evidence of burden).

I was nearly vomiting, and my heart was so angry. I did not check the youtube video, it didn't even deserve my time. But I would like point out one thing here, for those who read this blog regularly and for those who are blogwalking, that we need to stop this kind of behaviour, slandering the sahabah, starting from ourselves and helping others.

Actually, I could not understand why does the Sheikh need to slander the sahabah? And one of the biggest, worthiest sahabah?

Why do these kinds of people need to venture their energy, their resources (intellectual, time, money etc etc) and their hearts into this kind of useless and sinful activity?

I don't get it. Seriously. If we are working of removing and slandering Mubarak, for example, that's a good use of time and intellectual capacity. But talking about bad things about sahabah? For what? To prove that another sahabah is better? Then? What kind of actions to improve our imaan will be taken after this kind of 'intellectual' debate? Will the speech change the course of history? More importantly, will the action (slandering the sahabah) endear us to Allah Rabbul Izzati?

We all know how dangerous it is a bad-mouthing activity. Kindly refer to Surah Al-Humazah ( The Traducer, The Gosssipmonger). Slandering people, alive or dead. Especially the dead because you can never ask for their forgiveness. Why don't you use your tongue for dzikir then?

Well, just remember, every single word that we utter and write, whether with good intention or otherwise, is readily written by two angels (malaikat). If these people are ready to stand in front of Allah swt and defend their actions and deeds, good luck then.

TAHRIR SQUARE! CRY A BUCKET

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim,

Assalamualaikum,

Allahumma Solli A'la Saiyidna Muhamad, Waa'la aa'li Saiyidna Muhamad.

Taken from Farhaaan

This video has made me cry a bucket. This is the very moment where Mubarak announced his resignation in Tahrir Square.

How I wish I were there, to join the best revolution in the modern history (in my humble opinion anyway). I never join any demonstration. Not even the peaceful one. First, I'm truly not interested in certain causes, I mean, I have other means to supports certain movements. Second, the demonstrations that I really wish to join are under political cause, which my Mother will never ever approve my request. I wish I am bolder and stronger, but I uphold my Mother's wishes more than anything.

Please watch the video until the end, and you will know why my tears fall without even realise it. Allahuakbar! Allahuakbar! Allahuakbar! Rasa macam pergi bertakbir masa Raya Haji kat kampung nenek.

Solat Dhuha, yuk?

p/s: The military force in Egypt has guaranteed to honour the peace treaty with Israel during the shift of power. I wonder, why do this news take place amids the chaos in the regime? Could it be that Israel and the USA are very afraid of these unbelievable movements? Once the Misri decide to threat Israel, with the power of 2 million people as we have witnessed yesterdays, let's remember, many many many many people will join them, including the blog author. InsyaAllah.

BEAUTIFUL REPLY

Salams,

One of the most beautiful replies ever from Ukhti27 . Do take barokah in it. Take care.

Must dash!

Love, always.

BismiLlah wal HamduliLlah...

Sholatu was-Salamu `ala RasuliLlah wa `ala Alihi wa Shohbihi waman walah...

SalamuLlahu`alaikum wa Rahmatuhu wa Barakatuh...

Salam Juma`ah al-Mubarak...

Wahai Saudariku fiLlah yang Dimuliakan lagi Dikasihi ALLAH,

Al HamduliLlah, apa sahja yang semoga dimanfaatkan bersama, insya`ALLAH akan hamba sampaikan. Namun, disamping itu, doa dari kalian sangat-sangat hamba dahagakan agar bisa dapat beristiqamah dengannya, iaitu dalam menyampaikannya setelah mempelajari serta mengamalkannya, insya`ALLAH.

Al HamduliLlah, bisa merasakan ni`mat diatas Ni`mat yang DianugerahkanNYA keatas kita, itu adalah Ni`mat yang teragung. Justru, andai kita bisa mengambil manfaat diatas segala sesuatu, walaupun ianya kecil sahja; sebagai contoh dari setitis air yang kita minum bisa membuatkan kita menjadi hamba yang bersyukur dan bertambah tenaga kita untuk ber`ibadah kepadaNYA, itu adalah ni`mat juga. Berbanding kita yang tidak bisa mengambil manfaat diatas segala sesuatu, walaupun ianya besar manapun; sebagai contoh dari bergallon-gallon air yang kita minum bahkan membuat kita kufur kepadaNYA dan semakin jauh dariNYA. ALLAHu ALLAH...

Bertuahlah dan berbahagialah mereka yang bisa mengambil manfaat dari segala sesuatu yang DiberikanNYA keatas kita, dan semuanya ini adalah diatas Kuasa dan Kehendak ALLAH `Azzawajalla, maka mintalah senantiasa dan jangan merasakan bosan kepada Sang Pemilik, kerna DIA tidak bosan-bosan Mendengar dan Mengabulkan hajat dan permintaan hamba-hambaNYA. Sangat Pemurah walaupun kita tidak terlintas untuk memintanya kepadaNYA, apatah lagi andai kita yang sendiri memintanya kepadaNYA. SubhanALLAH... Kebahagiaan, ketenangan, kesejukkan iman dll itu ada Pemiliknya, maka mengadulah dan mintalah kepadaNYA...

Semoga ALLAH `Azzawajalla Mengabulkan apa dihajatkan oleh mu, oleh kita. Semoga DIA Mengabulkan lebih dari yang kita hajatkan, kerna tiada yang bisa MemudharatkanNYA, MembebaniNYA dan tidak pula yang mustahil BagiNYA.

Amiin Ya ALLAH, Ya Rabb, Ya Rahman, Ya Rahim, ya Qarib, ya Mujib, Ya Hayyu, Ya Qayyum, Ya Dzal Jalali wal Ikram wa bi jaahi Sayyidina Muhammadinil Habibil Mahbub ShalALLAHu`alaihi wa Alihi wasalam.. ♥

Di atas masa serta ziarahnya hamba ucapkan,

barakALLAHu fiki wa jazakiLlahu khairal jaza`.

Fi amaniLlah wALLAHu a`lam bisawab.

Hujan renyai-renyai disini. Bumi UK jua meraikan kemenanganmu, wahai Misri. Semoga hari-hari mendatang punya lebih rahmat-Nya. InsyaAllah. Bukankah kita ini ngga punya apa-apa? "Hai manusia, kamulah yang berkehendak kepada Allah, dan Allah, Dialah yang Maha Kaya (yang tidak memerlukan sesuatu) lagi Maha Terpuji" (Fathir: 15).

Bonda baru sahaja menelefon saya. Seperti selalu hati saya berdegup kencang, mengapa Bonda menelefon seawal pagi di Malaysia? Rupanya mahu bertanya khabar, kerana Bonda ngga sempat mengangkat telefon sebelumnya. Bonda jua risau, adakah keadaan di UK akan menjadi seperti di Mesir? I just laugh, do these lads and lasses have what it takes to carry a revolution? The taxes have been increased to the unbelievable points, the prices have increased so high, threatening to crumbling the economy, but here, the poor and unemployed people do get allowances, unlike in Egypt.

A revolution in the UK? Inconceivable. But, anything can happen, just look at the Tunisia's and Egypt's experiences. Unimaginable.

I hate Micro perspectives. Period. Thus, to write back the literature from the microeconomic perspectives is killing me. Allahim.

My handphone has been revived after the Al-Fatihah recitation. I've done the exact opposite of talkin thingy. Goodness me, it's truly scary.
