UJIAN~

Allah sedang menguji diriku yg lemah ini. baru kelmarin saya tercicir wallet ID uni saya that contains my room card, laundry card, debit card, transport card, uni id, etc. dan juga tertinggal buku nota physicsku di library. so, yesterday morning I rushed to school to find my stuff at lost and found and alhamdulillah, the prayers worked as I managed to find it with the security.

Now, I lost/misplaced my physics textbook and my favourite cap that I wear almost everyday. He is testing me again. So, I suppose the best way to face His tests are to remain calm and not question why this is happening or why me? right? so, I just have to pray and I hope you all pray for my stuff as well. yaAllah, I hope you are happy/satisfied with the way I face your ujian. Amin.

I don't like what's going on in Malaysia right now~

what has happened to Malaysia? it's messy and chaotic. macam Indonesia pulak. this is not a good image to portray to outsiders. Malaysia that's known for its "peaceful" image is tainted. it is not beneficial to any party. what more, it's going to take a toll on our economy. our current economy situation is already not in a very good nor stable state, we don't need all this nonsense. just because of the Christians using the word Allah as the english translation for Christian God, must all this take place? is this necessary? and I don't see what is so wrong with the Christians using the word Allah. if they use Allah, can't we take it on the bright side? like, at least they are starting to acknowledge Allah? so, isn't that a good thing? I don't get what's with the church attacks and the bombings, etc.

what I am most afraid of is that those who are doing all this are Muslims, the extremist. most probably they're going to say it's jihad. a lot of ppl misuse jihad and this is saddening. I really pray and hope that it ain't the Malays who are conspiring all these attacks and what such. I mean, if it is the muslims, how are my family and friends going to accept my conversion? sometimes, ----no. not sometimes. always, people misunderstand and have negative perspectives on Islam religion due to the Muslims who do not abide by the hukum2 Islam. I am really sad that there are Muslims out there who can be so carefree despite knowing the kind of behaviour and lifestyle they should lead. it is because of that fraction of people that Islam, which is in truth a very good religion, is looked down upon. I know this because I was once there. Where I am today is all thanks to Him for giving me the hidayah, but not everyone is as fortunate to get the LIGHT from HIM. now, it is going to be harder for me to tell my family of my situation whatmore with the things occurring in Malaysia.

I am most upset right now.

yaAllah yaTuhanku, tolonglah tunjukkan hidayah kepada yang memerlukannya yaAllah. bukalah mata mereka supaya mereka sedar akan siapa diri mereka, sedar bahawa mereka merupakan umat Islam yang mempunyai tanggungjawab sebagai seorang Muslim. Amin.

Nur Kasih 2010~

I enjoyed Nur Kasih drama a lot. Honestly, this is the first malaysian drama production that I actually followed the series to the end. I have to admit that the storyline is really good and authentic and that the acting is significantly better than all the other mas malay dramas acting. However, it is still lacking from the sound system and picture system. Somehow, the picture quality was poor and the sound check wasn't checked properly or maybe they just didn't realise it? lol. cos a number of times, the background was set too loud; this is obviously not right unless the situation calls for it. it hurts the viewers' eardrums and also while there's dialogues, the b/ground was louder than it should be.

anyway, overall, I am very satisfied with the show for it's good message and the content of the show; especially the fact that the show was being highlighted from Muslims point of view and the pratices of true Muslims. it also has a very good, solid ending. Loved it to bits! I love jalaluddin hassan. he's one of the malay actor that I am impressed with.

p/s: can someone explain what this means please?
"bila malaikat maut datang menjemput, terputuslah amalan anak2; kecuali ilmu bermanfaat, sedekah jaliah, dan doa anak yang soleh." (I'm not sure if I heard it right but it's the last script of nur kasih drama) thanks in advance.

dugaan dariNya~

assalamualaikum

pernah kan setiap manusia kadang kala rasa ragu2 terhadapNya? terutamanya waktu kita menghadapi masa yang susah; tidak kira dari segi kewangan, emosi, pelajaran, cinta dan sebagainya. di waktu sebeginilah kita harus meperkuatkan dan mengukuhkan lagi tahap keimanan diri sendiri. kita harus sedar dan ingat semua ini merupakan ujian-Nya kepada kita. Dia ingin menguji sejauh mana kesabaran kita dan sejauh mana kepercayaan kita terhadapNya. apabila Allah ingin memberikan kebaikan kepada kita, Dia sememangnya menguji kita terlebih dahulu, dengan harapan dan tujuan menguatkan hamba2nya dari segi agama dan rohani. dan jika kita menghadapinya dengan baik dan dengan hati yang terbuka, insyaAllah, Dia akan memberkati segala perkara yang kita lakukan (dan inilah yang diharapkan semua kan?)

walaubagaimanapun, bahagian yang paling susah bagi semua umat manusia adalah untuk menghadapi segala ujian dengan cara yg terbaik. maka di sinilah kita harus menoleh dan berdoa kepadaNya supaya memberikan kita kekuatan dan keimanan yang lebih kukuh dan mendalam. jika semua orang mempraktikkan tabiat ini, saya yakin bahwa kuantiti Muslims yg beriman akan meningkat dari hari ke hari. Amin.

alhamdulillahi rabiualamin~

now that my first sem results are out, one word escape my mouth: alhamdulillah. It is all thanks to Allah for having mercy upon me.

saya ingin memanjatkan rase syukur kepada illahi kerana telah memakbulkan doa2 hamba. Hamba sedar hamba masih banyak kurangnya, masih banyak yg perlu dipelajari, masih banyak lagi yg perlu hamba dalami dari segi mengenali dan mendekatkan diri kepadaNya. Justeru, I vow to do to my best capabilities and insyaAllah, with His guidance, all will be well. And if I ever start straying from the right path, may He bring me back to the right path.

shukran Allah; with all my heart, mind, and soul. May You continue to berkatkan my doings and help me so that I will always remember that niat is the most important thing.

One should know this~

semua manusia dilahirkan baik, tak ada yg jahat. Kalau buruk perangainya seeorang anak, ibu bapa juga yang akan dipersalahkan; bukan orang lain. (Try to ponder on this; is this fair? What if the parents have done their part but unfortunately, the children chose not to follow?)

so, if you know your weaknesses and bad habits, it's due to yourself; as the saying goes, "only good things come from Him." (never ever blame or question Him albeit sometimes, I know how certain situations cause you to want to know why this is happening and such; during these times, we just have to surrender to Him and accept with the utmost open heart that there is hikmah di sebalik setiap kejadian and insyaAllah, everything will turn out well.)

Politics & Coffee~

Just for laughs. ROFL~~ =D

Politics and coffee

Do you know the similarity betw coffee and politics?

They are both hard to quit bcos u get addicted to it.

The more addicted you get, the more money you spend, and the more worn out your body gets.

Although nothing seems wrong inside , there are occasional signs of addiction.

The more foam there is, the less coffee there is beneath it.

The coffee everyone likes may not necessarily be the best one.

inner thoughts~

As a muallaf:
Dalam hati, saya sedar bahawa saya seorang Muslimah, tapi saya tidak tahu bagaimana memberitahu keluarga dan teman-teman.
Meskipun beberapa orang senang dengan penemuan agama yang saya cintai, saya tidak selalu diterima dengan baik, tetapi kerana itu saya menjadi kuat. Saya dapat mempertahankan iman saya. Rasa syukur saya panjatkan pada Allah tiap hari, kerana saya menjadi seorang Muslimah.

inna lillahi = sesungguhnya kita ini kepunyaan Allah
wa inna ilaihi ra ji un = dan sesungguhnya kita (pasti) akan kembali juga padanya.

ayat ni dibaca ketika musibah dgn tujuan kita ingat pada Allah bila dlm kesusahan;
supaya kita sedar Allah tu pencipta kita, dan Allah boleh membantu kita bila dlm kesusahan.

Perlulah kita ingatkanNya selalu; bukan hanya di waktu susah, namun harus kita bersyukur kepadaNya di waktu2 senang, yang sering umat Islam lupa bahawa ia adalah pemberianNya.

Sebab itu kita akan dianggap hipokrit kalau hanya ingat Allah bila susah, kena jugak ingat bile senang. Justeru, kalau dpt ape2 kejayaan: ucapkan Alhamdulillah...

kita juga harus ingat, doa kena dgn hati yg ikhlas, dan kita kena merendahkn diri kpd Allah swt.


terms I learned:

- qiamullail
- malam lailatulqadar

petanda malam lailatulqadar ialah langit nmpk cerah, kita rasa damai sgt mlm tu, n bulan nmpk cerah. plg obvious kite boleh perasan ialah pokok akan sujud ke bumi, skit.

-to love Him, to be loved by Him; and to get this inner peace.. THIS IS ISLAM...

If we don't change ourselves, if we don't change our houses, if we don't change our characteristics, if we don't change our qualities; how can we call other people to change!

My conversion is a life changing experience and may it last for eternity!

Islam will enter every house and every tent. These are the words of Muhammad Rasullulah s.a.w. Are you in DOUBT?
