Sabar, ikhlas dan istiqamah... oh Rabb I as hamba dahif faqir ilallah will surely at one point err though I try my best not to repeat the mistakes.. Plz guide me..

Bismillah..

Wow Im 21 now.. Feels the same though, haha. I wanna GROW please.....argh. Anyways, I have never felt so much responsibility ever before going into my 21st Birthday. Im r referring g to the gift that Wak Hawa gave me...Hmms..Insya'Allah will khatam that for this year Ramadhan..And oh dear is tt a sign for me to return to hafalan Qur'an wf Ustaz Fahmi..?? Coz to me, i wanna atleast 'master' the Arabic language for ease of my hafalan and also I think Im still not ready like I THINK i Was...

Also Im feeling a bit 'terkilan'.. I jolly well know I shouldn't be if I really3 wants to follow the Sufis..Allah! But isn't it jz normal human behaviour..?? :S The ones I don't expect wished me but the ones I expected did not! Sad :/

Oh wells..

Bismillah..

Before I turn 21, let me express my feelings here since its a been a long time I wrote anything here, hahs

Well, my life's pretty much the same..only that I got a new responsibility on the back of  my shoulder as Nur Ikhwan's Chairman. Speaking of NI, there's lots that went through my mind the day after the EXCO Handover. Like all sorts of negative thoughts.. the feeling of people don't actually care about u.. I mean damn, the devil was full of tricks to mess up my mind coz the day after Iv to sit fr BA2 supp wch sux..

Fortunately all that is done and over with shukr Alhamdulillah.. though some Ni stuffs are yet to be settled but most importantly Iv come to term wf this new responsibility..and the gd part is no need to retake BA2! Yes,Yes..Alhamdulillah..

Moving on with relationships... I think my role is more suited to be a 'ttm' than anythng else.. well its nice if i do 'dipertemukan' wf my real jodoh.. cz im a guy who gets bored easily..nyeahs..Whatever it is, having the close bind with the Beloved Rasulullah s.a.w. is what that matters most though.. And Im thankful I gt close frens..mre like brothers that hopefully walaupun kerap ketemu tidak ku berasa bosan bersama mereka kerana merekalah sahabat islam yang sejati...

Wallhu'alam

Alhamdulillah..

Memang sudah sekian lama hamba yang dhaif ini tidak bertinta di sini. Merenung kembali posting yang lalu sebelum ini, malu rasanya diri ini. Tidak dapat ku kotakan apa yang seharusnya diri ini janji ketika beberapa bulan yang dahulu..

Ala kulli hal, bagaimanapun, bulan-bulan yang sudah amat bermakna. Dapat berkenalan dengan para pencinta Rasulullah s.a.w... usrah bersama anggota SSC dengan perbualan ilmiah. tsumma Alhamdulillah..

Hamba fikir tiada apa lagi yang hendak hamba bicarakan di sini. Hanya mengharap doa kalian semua agar diri ini terus istiqamah dan berada dalam landasan yang betul, amin.

2010

Bismillah...

Cepat sungguh masa berlalu. 2010 sudah pun menjemput kita. Pejam celik pejam celik, ku rasakan bagai semalam ku berada di Batam... Tahun yang sudah (2008), aku menyambut kedatangan 2009 di Batam disebabkan kerja kemasyarakatan ku di sana. Itulah pertama kalinya ku menyambut tahun baru di luar negara Singapura. Ala kulli hal, tak akan ku lupakan perayaan yang dianjurkan pihak hotel.. Masya'Allah..

Namun Alhamdulillah, summa Alhamdulillah bagi menyambut tahun 2010 agak jauh berbeza dari tahun yang lainnya. Semoga Allah memberkati Al Ustaz Shafi Nurul Anwar yang punya inisiatif menganjurkan "Contdown 2010" di Sultan..

Saya tahu agak sukar namun marilah kita berusaha menjauhkan diri dari maksiat di tahun 2010...Amin!

Wallhu'alam

This is where it all began...

Bismillah wal Hamdulillah

Ahh.. still breathing am I? Haha. This blog seems to be dead again. Well no inspirations to write. Been reading a lot though. Well2 gonna blog the things I've noticed so far..

Trends. Yeah, what I've been noticing lately old trends creeping back into our youths lives. Skaters, man they are everywhere now man! Maybe because its the school holidays now that I start to realise their 'existence'. Oh well whatever.

What I'm trying to put across we humans can't really escape from this thing called 'trend'. Though the trend whatever it may be had long been 'over and done with', but if one individual or perhaps a group should I say start doing that particualr thing that was once popular back then, it starts to creep in like a virus automatically.

Wow~ amazing is'nt it?

Well my intention ws swithing to tumblr bt blm menjadi..ahah

Till Then

Be Agressively Thankful

Another post based on the title itelf. Yup, "Be Agressively Thankful". Notice the word 'Aggresively' in the middle, hahs. No kidding. We always think that we have thanked our Lord enough after things go as we wanted them too etc but in reality, we have not really thanked him enough! And to link this up, when someone says that Allah knows best (its a little cliche'd), yeah HE really does and you better believe it!

My own experiences: Taking it very hard to swallow when the first time im in ITE but hecks no regrets now. In fact, it gives more more opportunities to explore avenues. The attachment programme, the F1 experience.. man even the poly/JC kids don't get this much exposure to national events! My own fren who's in poly wrkd as cleaner while i gt the job as an usher. It is a whole lot of difference. No offence to anyone. Where's the othr poly kids? or wait, JC kids? Hahs. And yes the believe in me that I can continue my academic streak in ITE; where I can excel.

Alhmdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah

House visits; an eye opener

Bismillah...

Here we are, Eid Fitri in the month of Syawal 1430H. Though we hate to leave the previous month, Ramadhan before us, we can only pray that we are given another shot at tasting that special month.

So yeah finally the month some of us can't wait to celebrate. The month where the norm for people to start visiting relatives etc. And speaking of my title, yeah you really can take alot from different house visits. Take a moment to reflect...

Its been months and when Syawal comes about we visit our mom & dad's aunts/uncles. And sometimes especially when visiting someone who's already considered senior citizens, its a pity sight I must say. Pity to those that their health have deteriorate badly. Their physical apperance...But not all like that. Some masih lagi segar bugar, sihat wal'afiat Alhamdulillah..

Another thing that I'm utterly suprised about is how fast technology have come about in our daily lives. I mean to small kids to be precise. I talked to my cousin's son who's only in Pri 2 and she has a FACEBOOK account! Amazing? I don't think so.. I mean its good but the bad factors are more than the benefits. Exposing young kids to especially social networking sites brings about the dangers of them being victims of cyber preys...

Don't you share my views? No wonder we can't wholly compare what our younger generations did when we're at thier age..Totally different...

Haix..

Wallhu'alam

Inallah ha wamala ikatahu yu sollu na alan nabiy'. Ya aiyuhal ladzi na amanu sollu alaihi wasallimutaslima...Allhuma Solli wa Sallim wa Barik alaih..

Bismillah..

Its the last Friday in Ramadhan and also the last terawih ): And right now, Masya'Allah its raining too... Well, hope that we leave Ramadhan 'suci' as sememangnya Eid Fitri itu sendiri bermaksud kembali kepada fitrah..


Anw, Eid Mubarak to all...

Bismillah
Alhamdulillah its yaumul Juma'ah, penghulu segala hari. And not forgetting we'rse in the last 10 nights of Ramadhan. Allah, ya Allah, ya Allah!!!

Tribute to Sheikh Ali Jaber. May Allah be pleased with him. So far in Singapore Ustaz Fahmi Hamdan Ali comes closest in sounding like him (:




Wanna highlight another local ustaz that sounds like Sheykh Mishary Rashid al-Efasy. None other than Ustaz Zakariah Sharif which posess the 10 types of Qir'aat. His son is a Qari too wchch represented Singapore in many competitions.

Alhamdulillah wa shukrulillah
Wassolatu ala Rasulillah

Masa cepat berlalu buat Ramadhan kali ini, Masya'Allah. And yes tidak dapat dinafikan, ada segelintir perubahan yang amat ketara. Kadangkala ku rasakan bahwa ia sebenarnya begitu ironis. Hairan? Takjub? Ish.. Allah Maha Mengatahui..

So Alhamdulillah al faqir dapat terawih bersama pertama Ustaz Noor Deros di al-istighfar. Seorang ustaz yang amat ku kagumi. Intellectual sesangat (: Kedua, ustaz hasan saifouridzal; salah satu anak murid Habib Omar di Singapura (: And tak lupa juga, diri ini bahagia sangat rasanya dapat bertemu bersama kaka angkatku wchc is also my neighbour btw, wf her Moroccan hubby! Its been so long since we met, Masya'Allah. Brought them to Mawaddah as Ustaz Fahmi; mudarris tahfizul Qura'an ku was imam di sana. And yes happy to see that Bro Muhammad loves ustaz's recitation and planning to study with him. Oh, Bro Muhammad is opening an Arabic class and is not imposting any fees. Help Spread the word ya ukhtis & akhinas.

Anw, reminder of Lailatul Qadr & its importance/significance in this clip. May we get to attain it, Insya'Allah Amin.

Self-Reflection

Bismillah wal Hamdullillah
Wassolatuwassalam ala Rasulillah
Amma ba'du

As I was walking towards the mosque for my Friday prayer, there's a sudden deep sense of reflective moment regarding my iman. I remembered back then where I was in a particular state of disinterest. On the verge of losing all hope and questioning and questioning. No one did really understand I guess, even those who may get an idea of how I felt back then as its so complex. One needs to experience for onself. I was like the main character of 'Musafir Cinta'; Iqbal Maulana. But Alhamdulillah, here I am, with all those thoughts vanished. Yes indeed, HE is the Knower of ALL things...

So as we reach a week of fasting, I'm asking firstly to myself and the rest of you, have we reach the state of ??لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَتَّقُونَ
Have we grasp Allah's Rahmat... Remember the first 10 nights Allah spreads upon HIS rahmah to all beings

Wallhu'alam

P/s: I dreamt of Shaykh Zakaria Bagharib...

Bismillah
All praises and thanks be to Allah who showed us guidance. Through His chosen servant that had called on us. With His permission, he called out and invited us to Him s.w.t. At your service, O the one who guided and urged us forward.

MasyaAllah Ramadhan in 5 more days! Marhaban Ahlan wa Sahlan ya Ramadhan!!! Or wait, did I hear whining? " Oh, not Ramadhan again...etc".. Hope we're not one of those people who feels that the Holy month is just a burden. One month full of restrictions,;this and that yar. Oh thinking they have to pass coz wanna to celebrate Eid? Heh. Looks like there is something wrong with the blogger layout nowadays. Im blogging using the Google Chrome browser and it still gives the same outlook. Oh wells.

So yar, no new inspirations at the moment. I'll leave things as it is for the moment. Hmms.. can't deny that Ramadhan this year will be a little quieter...

Here's a vid..enjoy

Assalamualaikum

Since most of my links consisted of ladies, though I know my regular sahabats do read this humble blog of mine, I have dedicated this video to all the ladies yar. Regarding the vid, I hope its not too much to ask for rite, ladies or should I say Muslimah? Surely we guys would love that to happen, hee (;

Apalah hidup tanpa wanita,
yang sentiasa menyerikan hidup kita,
namun haruskah itu semestinya?

Diri ini penuh dosa dan noda
termakan dengan godaan wanita
yang sememangnya hiasan dunia

Namun ku masih tetap mengharap
bahwa seorang insan yang bernama wanita
bak peribadi Sumayyah yang dapat bersama menuju syurga

Yang cintanya terhadap RabbNYA dan diriku tak luput seperti Rabiatul Adawiyah

Oh Tuhan,
jika itu tak berlaku
ko pohon perlihatkan Ainul Mardhiyah di jannahMU...

Bismillah Wal Hamdulillah..

Oh Allah, before I start writing this post of mine, forgive me for all my sins be it past, present or future ya Rabb. In this blessed month of Rejab, I seek solace in U. Allhumma Bariklana fi rejab wa sya'aban wa balighna ramadhan..Istajib du'aa ana Ya Allah...

After much deliberation, I think its important for me to post this up. Though some of my ikwhans may have post this up, here's my personal take on it.

In my opinions, personallly the term, "Im older than you therefore I know better and thus you shall 'respect' me" should not be applied when one is talking on religous terms. Don't get me wrong here. I'm not trying to say that we must not respect the elders. You see, the problem in our society is that they tend to stick to that old mantra. And for us to tegur them would be considered wrong or even rude. Times have changed. Some of the cultures that are acceptable last time are no longer accepted in religion today. Therefore, that is the reason for us (me inclusive) to feel hesitant to approach an elder at times...

Another sad thing is some still get confused between culture and reigion. I was walking towards the interchange after Jumaat prayers when I overheard one of the uncle saying:

"Tu kan utk org arab..yg kite ni nk ikut diorang buat ape..."
He then make another statement whch is totally irrelevant.
"Kalau cina masuk islam, tk kn nk suruh dia pakai baju kurung?"

Oh come on..I got a sense he's talking about how the imam dresses..He's confused here. Why I say the second statement is irrelevant? Coz the way the imam dresses is solely based on sunnah and not culture alone. Tk kn arab je kn blh pakai jubah...(btw, the imam ws wearing jubah complete wf the "scarf"..all white). So that is why the second statement doesn't contrast his frst one (;

Wallhu'alam..

Glory be to Allah s.w.t. that allows me the time and health to attend Shayks's talk a couple of hours ago at Singapore Expo. It felt as though the event was too shortlived as one is enjoying his/herself. Anyway, sheykh was asking the audience about the title, "Longing for the Divine" or is it "The Divine that longs for us?". This is because for those who didn't know, Allah is actually close to us; closer than we think HE is..He's so close as if HIS at our veins. So it can be simply said that HE longs for his creations too..to get closer to HIM. To be in constant presence every time.

Wallahu'alam...
