Why?

Since all of us will DIE one day, why does everybody act as if they will never depart from this world?

While a person, whose DEATH is CERTAIN, ought to strive for his life after death, how is it that almost all people behave as if their lives in this world will never end?

I need...

"Do people think that they will be left alone because they say: "We believe," and will not be tested.?" ~ Al-Ankabut : 2

"And surely, We shall try you till We test those who strive hard (for the Cause of Allah) and the patient ones, and We shall test your facts (i.e. the one who is a liar, and the one who is truthful)." ~ Muhammad : 31



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


I really don't know where to start. It all happened in a blink.

What I know is that, I'm facing the bitter sweet of Allah's test on me.

The test which I hope is not too much for me to bear.

I really need physical, emotional and spiritual strength for me to carry on.

I need prayers from you, my friends....*sob sob*

To All Parents... :'(

Read this and watch the link video.

I truly feel sad for the family of the boy. My heart bleeds when I heard the heart-wrenching news. I wish I knew the parents of the boy. I want to convey my condolences. I want to console them. I want to hug the mom. I want to lend my shoulder for her to cry on. I want her to know that I grieve with her.

It could have been my children. They recovered from HFMD last two week.

Just to share my personal experience.

To tell you the truth, if Afiqah had not complaint of headache and chest pain, I wouldn't know that she got the HFMD. Something moved me to take a torch light and looked for the sign. I saw very tiny ulcers in her mouth and very tiny blisters on her palm. My instinct told me that she got it. True enough. When we sent her to the doctor, she was diagnosed with HFMD.

Both Affandy and Afrina got it the next day.

My advise to all parents out there, even if your child do not complaint of any sickness, JUST CHECK ON THEM. It doesn't take forever to take a torch light and check on their mouth and hand. Do not take this matter lightly.

My heart goes to the boy. I do not even know his name, though he attended the same school as my children.

*sob sob* I need to hug my children right now.....

Mengapa?

Kita sudah tahu bahawa takdir itu satu ketentuan dari Allah, tetapi mengapa harus ada rasa sedih dan kecewa?

Kita sudah tahu bahawa neraka adalah seburuk-buruknya tempat, tetapi mengapa kita masih ketawa dan terus menuju ke arahnya?

Kita sudah tahu bahawa kematian adalah sat kepastian, tetapi mengapa kita masih lalai?

Sebenarnya ruh kita ingin mengajak kita melakukan ibadah, tapi hati kita terlalu ditakhluki oleh keduniaan. Dunia sebenarnya adalah alat dan akhirat adalah matlamat. Jadikan dunia sebagai alat untuk kita mencapai matlamat di akhirat.

The word is.....GEREK!

My nervousness about yesterday's Arabic class was baseless. I realized that there is nothing to be nervous about.

Because....

The lesson is.....GEREK!!

The classmates are....GEREK!!

The language is....GEREK!!

And the teacher is.....POWER GEREK!!

BETUL....TAK BEDEK! :D

The class was filled with SO MUCH FUN. My darling Arabic teacher, or should I call her - mudarris, taught me in a very fun way. I did not realized that two and a half hours past so fast.

It's been a long time since I sat in a classroom to learn new subject. I felt awkward at first. But after a while, I felt relaxed. Everyone of us determine to learn the beautiful language. I am happy to see two of my Halaqah sisters are in the class too.

Can't wait for next week class! :D

Nervous + Excited

My second entry for today. I just have to let this out, or I'll go bonkers!

I'm feeling extremely very nervous today. But at the same time, I feel excited too.

InsyaAllah, tonight will be the night I'll attend another totally new class. I do not know who will be in the class and what is being expected from me. But I know I want to be in this class. It's all for knowledge's sake.

Tonight is where my very first Arabic Coaching class commence, InsyaAllah. I really want to learn the language of Al-Quran Nur Kareem, and again Allah has showed me the way. I pray that this class will be beneficial to me. Amin.....

Still nervous....

HE decides for me

I should laugh hard at myself, for my stupidity!!

In my eagerness to seek knowledge, I did not read the fine print at the notice.

The new religious class on every Wednesday morning, will not be held at Masjid An-Nur, but at Masjid Muhajirin. This morning, I had my Kuliah Hadith at An-Nur. Somehow there's a voice telling me to read the notice again on the new class. And I was glad that I did.

The class will be held at Masjid Muhajirin and looking at my daily schedule, I can't afford the time to travel all the way there. I will not be in time to fetch my children from school.

Last night, I actually could not help thinking about attending the class (before I knew about the venue). I felt that it was such a waste not to attend that class since it's so near my house. But I leave to Allah to decide for me, and HE did.

Allah works in magical ways for those who trust in HIM.

Subhanallah....

Now I'm laughing hard at myself!! Padan muka aku..... :D

Should I Or Should I Not

I am in such a dilemma right now.

Allah has opened another door for me to seek knowledge. There will be a new religious class at Masjid An-Nur every Wednesday morning. Allah knows I am so tempted to attend.

But I have other things to consider. I am attending quote a number of classes in a week. I can say that my schedules are full with those classes and my daily routines. But I can't deny that I am still yearning for more knowledge.

The problem is, every Wednesday morning is my marketing day cum quality time with Hubby. Every Wednesday morning he accompany to the market at JB. We have breakfast together. This is the only time that we are alone in daytime, while our children are at school. At the same time, he can fill up the petrol for our car.

So either I attend the above class and miss the quality time with Hubby. Or I continue with my routine and miss the chance to gain more knowledge.

I do not know what to decide. I want both actually, but that will never happen. I can't divide myself into two.

Help me, Allah. Show me the right decision....
