12 Golongan Yang Didoakan Para Malaikat

InsyaAllah, berikut inilah orang-orang yang didoakan oleh para malaikat :

1. Orang yang tidur dalam keadaan bersuci.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Barangsiapa yang tidur dalam keadaan suci, maka malaikat akan bersamanya di dalam pakaiannya. Dia tidak akan bangun hingga malaikat berdoa 'Ya Allah, ampunilah hambamu si fulan karena tidur dalam keadaan suci".
(Imam Ibnu Hibban meriwayatkan dari Abdullah bin Umar ra., hadis ini dishahihkan oleh Syaikh Al Albani dalam Shahih At Targhib wat Tarhib I/37)

2. Orang yang sedang duduk menunggu waktu shalat.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Tidaklah salah seorang diantara kalian yang duduk menunggu shalat, selama ia berada dalam keadaan suci, kecuali para malaikat akan mendoakannya 'Ya Allah, ampunilah ia. Ya Allah sayangilah ia'".
(Imam Muslim meriwayatkan dari Abu Hurairah ra., Shahih Muslim no. 469)

3. Orang-orang yang berada di shaf barisan depan di dalam shalat berjamaah.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Sesungguhnya Allah dan para malaikat-Nya bershalawat kepada (orang - orang) yang berada pada shaf - shaf terdepan"
(Imam Abu Dawud (dan Ibnu Khuzaimah) dari Barra' bin 'Azib ra., hadis ini dishahihkan oleh Syaikh Al Albani dalam Shahih Sunan Abi Dawud I/130)

4. Orang-orang yang menyambung shaf pada sholat berjamaah (tidak membiarkan sebuah kekosongan di dalam shaf).

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Sesungguhnya Allah dan para malaikat selalu bershalawat kepada orang-orang yang menyambung shaf-shaf".
Para Imam yaitu Ahmad, Ibnu Majah, Ibnu Khuzaimah, Ibnu Hibban dan Al Hakim meriwayatkan dari Aisyah ra., hadis ini dishahihkan oleh Syaikh Al Albani dalam Shahih At Targhib wat Tarhib I/272)

5. Para malaikat mengucapkan 'Amin' ketika seorang Imam selesai membaca Al Fatihah.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Jika seorang Imam membaca 'ghairil maghdhuubi 'alaihim waladh dhaalinn', maka ucapkanlah oleh kalian 'aamiin', kerana barangsiapa ucapannya itu bertepatan dengan ucapan malaikat, maka ia akan diampuni dosanya yang masa lalu".
(Imam Bukhari meriwayatkan dari Abu Hurairah ra., Shahih Bukhari no. 782)

6. Orang yang duduk di tempat shalatnya setelah melakukan shalat.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Para malaikat akan selalu bershalawat ( berdoa ) kepada salah satu diantara kalian selama ia ada di dalam tempat shalat dimana ia melakukan shalat, selama ia belum batal wudhunya, (para malaikat) berkata, 'Ya Allah ampunilah dan sayangilah ia'"
(Imam Ahmad meriwayatkan dari Abu Hurairah, Al Musnad no. 8106, Syaikh Ahmad Syakir menshahihkan hadis ini)

7. Orang-orang yang melakukan shalat shubuh dan 'ashar secara berjama'ah.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Para malaikat berkumpul pada saat shalat shubuh lalu para malaikat ( yang menyertai hamba) pada malam hari (yang sudah bertugas malam hari hingga shubuh) naik (ke langit), dan malaikat pada siang hari tetap tinggal. Kemudian mereka berkumpul lagi pada waktu shalat 'ashar dan malaikat yang ditugaskan pada siang hari (hingga shalat 'ashar) naik (ke langit) sedangkan malaikat yang bertugas pada malam hari tetap tinggal, lalu Allah bertanya kepada mereka, 'Bagaimana kalian meninggalkan hambaku?', mereka menjawab, 'Kami datang sedangkan mereka sedang melakukan shalat dan kami tinggalkan mereka sedangkan mereka sedang melakukan shalat, maka ampunilah mereka pada hari kiamat'"
(Imam Ahmad meriwayatkan dari Abu Hurairah ra., Al Musnad no. 9140, hadis ini dishahihkan oleh Syaikh Ahmad Syakir)

8. Orang yang mendoakan saudaranya tanpa sepengetahuan orang yang didoakan.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Doa seorang muslim untuk saudaranya yang dilakukan tanpa sepengetahuan orang yang didoakannya adalah doa yang akan dikabulkan. Pada kepalanya ada seorang malaikat yang menjadi wakil baginya, setiap kali dia berdoa untuk saudaranya dengan sebuah kebaikan, maka malaikat tersebut berkata 'aamiin dan engkaupun mendapatkan apa yang ia dapatkan'"
(Diriwayatkan oleh Imam Muslim dari Ummud Darda' ra., Shahih Muslim no. 2733)

9. Orang-orang yang berinfak.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Tidak satu hari pun dimana pagi harinya seorang hamba ada padanya kecuali 2 malaikat turun kepadanya, salah satu diantara keduanya berkata, 'Ya Allah, berikanlah ganti bagi orang yang berinfak'. Dan lainnya berkata, 'Ya Allah, hancurkanlah harta orang yang pelit'"
(Imam Bukhari dan Imam Muslim meriwayatkan dari Abu Hurairah ra., Shahih Bukhari no. 1442 dan Shahih Muslim no. 1010)

10. Orang yang sedang makan sahur.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Sesungguhnya Allah dan para malaikat-Nya bershalawat (berdoa ) kepada orang-orang yang sedang makan sahur" Insya Allah termasuk disaat sahur untuk puasa "sunnah".
(Imam Ibnu Hibban dan Imam Ath Thabrani, meriwayaatkan dari Abdullah bin Umar ra., hadis ini dishahihkan oleh Syaikh Al Albani dalam Shahih At Targhiib wat Tarhiib I/519)

11. Orang yang sedang menjenguk orang sakit.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Tidaklah seorang mukmin menjenguk saudaranya kecuali Allah akan mengutus 70.000 malaikat untuknya yang akan bershalawat kepadanya di waktu siang kapan saja hingga sore dan di waktu malam kapan saja hingga shubuh"
(Imam Ahmad meriwayatkan dari 'Ali bin Abi Thalib ra., Al Musnad no. 754, Syaikh Ahmad Syakir berkomentar, "Sanadnya shahih")

12. Seseorang yang sedang mengajarkan kebaikan kepada orang lain.

Rasulullah SAW bersabda, "Keutamaan seorang alim atas seorang ahli ibadah bagaikan keutamaanku atas seorang yang paling rendah diantara kalian. Sesungguhnya penghuni langit dan bumi, bahkan semut yang di dalam lubangnya dan bahkan ikan, semuanya bershalawat kepada orang yang mengajarkan kebaikan kepada orang lain"
(Diriwayatkan oleh Imam Tirmidzi dari Abu Umamah Al Bahily ra., dishahihkan oleh Syaikh Al Albani dalam Kitab Shahih At Tirmidzi II/343)

18 Ramadhan = 18 September

One more year, closer to death. Alhamdulillah....

"Ya Allah! I seek refuge with You from helplessness, laziness, cowardice and feeble old age. I seek refuge with You from afflictions of life and death and seek refuge with You from the punishment in the grave."

Amin.....

Their own world

Today is the 10th day of Ramadhan. My children were at their own world today...


He was singing to all the selawats that I installed in my handphone.



She was playing Monopoly all by herself.



What else can I say? She's all grown up. Alhamdulillah.

Training them

Training children to fast needs lots of patience and understanding.

I remember it's so easy to train Afrina. She is 9 years old now. She started to fast full on occasional days when she was 5 years old. By 6 years old, she fasted full day for the whole month. That was a great achievement to me, as her mom.

Afiqah, who is 6 this year, has also started to fast full day. The only thing was that she has a little difficulty in waking up for sahur. Her reason was - sleepy. But Alhamdulillah, for the past days, she did wake up for sahur. At times, with an unhappy and sleepy face. But being a unique Afiqah (yes Hubby & I call her "unique"), she'll be back to her normal self after eating. Sometimes she sleeps back, sometimes she performs her subuh prayers with us.

And now my son, Affandy. Only once that woke up for sahur. By zuhur, he will ask for some food to fill his hungry stomach. And he can be very angry when he's hungry. I guess it's so true when they say "A hungry man is an angry man". I find it's funny when he says, "Ummi, Affandy nak makan sikit, lepas tu puasa balik." Boleh gitu? Since he's only 5, I'm being quite lenient to him. But InsyaAllah next year, no more "makan, lepas tu puasa balik"!

How Would You Feel?

After lots and lots of du'a, and a sinlge heart to heart conversation, how would you feel....

...when someone took the wudhu...

...when someone put on the praying attire...

...when someone started to pray...

...when someone cried after praying...

...when someone recite the muqaddam after not touching it for such a long time...

It all happened after your unceasing du'a for that someone, with just a small talk.

How would you feel??

This shows that ALLAH listens and and ALLAH grants the du'a.

ALLAHU AKBAR!!

It's not easy

This is the third day I look after my mom. She complained that she is sick of taking all the medicines prescribed by the doctor.

I can understand that. I was surprised myself when I received a big plastic bag full of tablets. She has to swallow at least five types of different medicines, three times a day. To make it easier for her, Hubby bought a molar and pestle so that I can crush all her medicines.

I wish she can heal through spiritual healing, without taking all those drugs. But in order to do that, she herself has to be spiritually strong. I am not sure if she's ready for that.

As her daughter, I always pray the best for her. I try my best to help her recover. And she needs to help me to help her too.

And I desperately need Allah's help....

It's not over

It all started on 9 August, when my mom had her first heart attack till she had her heart bypass surgery. My life is being tested and so far, Alhamdulillah, I've endured.

Only Allah knows what I've been thru all these while.

This Ramadhan, Allah grants HIS "rahmat" to me. HE makes my mom stays with me. Mom decided to follow me home so that I can take good care of her. Though I have my fair share of difficulty looking after her, with my three children and all, I pray that Allah makes it easier on me. InsyaAllah...

This Ramadhan, I do not aim for new set of clothings and shoes. I do not want to think about what cookies or cakes to bake. I do not want to think about what dishes to cook. I do not want to think about the conditions of my house. I even do not want to think about Hari Raya.

This Ramadhan, I truly found out that Aidil Fitri is only for those who has reached "taqwa", while I am so far away from it...

But I am working towards it... Help me, Allah...

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?

~ Harun Yahya


** I'm really really really exhausted, mentally and physically...

Help me, Allah... **

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.

~ Ustaz Firdaus Masruhen

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....

Kuliah Hadith 2 - 29 July 2008

Dari Ibnu Umar r.a bahawasanya Rasullullah s.a.w bersabda :

"Seorang Muslim itu adalah saudara orang Muslim yang lainnya. Janganlah ia menganiaya saudaranya itu. Jangan pula menyerahkannya kepada musuh. Barangsiapa memberikan pertolongan pada hajat saudaranya, maka Allah selalu memberikan pertolongan pada hajat orang itu. Dan barangsiapa melapangkan kepada seseorang Muslim akan satu kesusahannya, maka Allah akan melapangkan untuknya satu kesusahan dari sekian banyaknya kesusahan pada hari kiamat. Dan barangsiapa yang menutupi cela seseorang Muslim, maka Allah akan menutupi celanya pada hari kiamat."

~ Muttafaq'alaih

- Hajat menunjukkan sesuatu yang amat penting. Hajat adalah satu keperluan, bukan kemahuan.
- Minta bantuan dari orang bila kita sangat-sangat perlu dan terdesak.
- Ada sebuah riwayat, ketika Rasulullah s.a.w berada di atas unta, cemeti (rotan) baginda terjatuh. Baginda tidak menyuruh sahabat yang berada di bawah untuk mengambilkannya. Malah baginda turun dan ambil sendiri cemeti itu. Ini menggambarkan Rasulullah s.a.w tidak suka menyusahkan orang lain, walaupun pertolongan yang kecil.
- Lebih baik kita berkhidmat kepada orang lain, dari orang berkhidmat untuk kita.
- Jangan berasa gusar bila kebaikan kita tidak diketahui orang. Allah maha Mengetahui.

"Dan lakukanlah perbuatan baik, tentulah engkau semua akan berbahagia."
~ (QS Al-Haj : 77)

"Dan apa saja kebaikan yang engkau semua lakukan, maha sesungguhnya Allah itu Maha Mengetahui."
~ (QS Al-Baqarah : 215)

- Orang yang suka menganiaya orang lain, Allah akan azabkannya di dunia DAN akhirat. Kesudahan hidupnya akan sukar sekali.
- Sekiranya kita ada bergaduh atau tidak suka pada seseorang, jangan menyerahkannya pada musuh, hanya untuk membalas dendam. Orang Islam dibenarkan bergaduh, tapi jangan sampai melebihi dari tiga hari.
- Penyakit malas amat merbahaya dan tiada ubatnya. Kita boleh marah anak kita jika mereka memberi alasan malas ketika disuruh. Rasullullah s.a.w selalu berdoa supaya dijauhi sifat malas pada dirinya.
- Jika kita ingin meminta hajat dari Allah, kita boleh mengungkit kebaikan kita pada Allah. Dengan cara ini mungkin hajat kita boleh dikabulkan dengan cepat. Kita dilarang untuk mengungkit kebaikan kita pada manusia.
- Jangan minta balasan pada kebaikan kita pada manusia. Minta terus pada Allah.
- Satu kesusahan di dunia amat jauh berbeza dari kesusahan di akhirat. Bayangkanlah jika Allah melapangkan kesusahan kita di akhirat, bila kita menolong orang yang susah di dunia. Alangkah nikmatnya....

Kuliah Hadith 1 - 29 July 2008

Dari Abu Hurairah r.a berkata :

Rasulullah s.a.w didatangi oleh sahabat-sahabatnya dengan membawa seorang lelaki yang telah minum ARAK, kemudian baginda bersabda : "Pukullah dia, sebagai hadnya."

Diantara kita ada yang memukul orang itu dengan tangannya, ada pula yang memukul dengan terumpahnya, bahkan ada yang memukul dengan pakaiannya. Setelah orang itu pergi, lalu sebagian orang banyak itu ada yang berkata, "Semoga engkau dihinakan oleh Allah!"

Kemudian Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda, "Jangan berkata demikian, janganlah engkau semua memberi pertolongan kepada syaitan untuk menggodanya lagi."

~ Hadith Riwayat Bukhari

- Dari hadith ini, Rasulullah s.a.w mengajar kita, apabila seseorang yang bersalah telah dihukum, janganlah dia dihina atau diolok-olokkan. Cukuplah dia dengan hukumannya. Ditakutkan dia akan kembali ke maksiat lamanya jika dia terus dihina.

- Janganlah disebarkan keburukan dan keaiban orang lain.

- Rasulullah s.a.w melarang pukul di muka, kerana ia akan meninggalkan bekas yang boleh dilihat. Pukullah di tangan, badan atau punggung. Tidak ada hukuman di dalam Islam untuk pukul di muka, kecuali pada orang yang sudah bernikah tetapi melakukan zina, maka mukanya boleh direjam dengan batu.

- Meminum arak adalah kesalahan yang nampak kecil, tapi besar padah dan dosanya. Arak adalah punca segala maksiat dan membawa kepada melakukan dosa-dosa yang besar. Apabila mabuk, orang itu tidak sedar dia melakukan maksiat seperti berzina, membunuh, memukul dan ada yang menceraikan isteri. Cerai itu dianggap sah oleh para ‘ulama, kerana orang itu meminum arak dengan sengaja, walaupun dia tidak sedar akan perbuatannya ketika mabuk. Sebab itulah Allah melarang hambanya meminum arak.

- Orang yang ketagihan arak hingga akhir hayatnya, tidak ada harapan untuk masuk syurga. Arak perlukan 40 hari untuk bersih dari tubuh badan. Bagaimana Allah hendak menerima ibadah orang yang minum arak, jika darahnya mengalir arak yang haram?

- Ustaz Mamfizam Bakaram

Penghapusan Dosa

"Maafkanlah kesalahan kami, serta ampunkanlah dosa kami dan berilah rahmat kepada kami."

(QS Al-Baqarah 2:286)

"Dan Dialah Allah, yang menerima taubat dari hamba-hambaNya (yang bertaubat) serta menghapuskan segala kesalahan (yang mereka lakukan) dan Dia mengetahui akan apa yang kamu kerjakan."

(QS As-Syura 42:25)

"Allah menghapuskan dan menetapkan apa jua yang Dia kehendaki, dan (ingatlah) pada sisiNya Induk segala ketentuan. "

(QS Ar-Rad 13:39)

Istighfar tidak mencukupi untuk menghilangkan dosa, selagi kita tidak minta Allah MENGHAPUSKAN semua dosa-dosa kita.

Allah bersifat Al-'Afu - Maha Suka Menghapuskan Dosa-Dosa.

"Ya Allah, sesungguhnya Engkaulah yang Maha Pengampun. Engkau suka memberi keampunan, makan HAPUSKANLAH dosa-dosa ku..." (Doa yang dibaca ketika bulan Ramadhan)

Mukjizat doa untuk menghapuskan dosa ada di dalam doa antara dua sujud di dalam sholat. Alangkah ruginya bagi mereka yang tidak dapat menghayati doa ini, apalagi bagi mereka yang tidak melakukan sholat...

- Ustaz Abdul Shafi Nurul Anwar

Wallahu'alam.

Freedom is here

Alhamdulillah!! I am a very happy Ummi today.

Afrina, Afiqah and Affandy have been declared free of HFMD!!

They have started school today, and my routine is back to normal.

These happened when my children got their "freedom" back, last Saturday :

Afrina said, "Eh eh, lama tak naik lift!" And she jumped up and down in the lift.

Affandy wanted to go Causeway Point, but we went to Compass Point instead. As long as the word "Point" is there, he's happy. He persisted to buy Toby (from Thomas & Friends), but his request was declined, as he already has too many of Thomas & Friends trains collection. But we brought him a Optimus Prime T-Shirt & pants, he was satisfied.

Afiqah...haiz....she wanted to go to the salon to have her hair cut!! She had her hair trimmed last month, and now she decided to have a new look. Now she wants her hair short. She wants to show to her classmates, the "new" her. Gasak kau lah, nak!...Makin terserlah ketembamannya....hehehe...

I am a teacher

Alhamdulillah, I think Afiqah is fully recovered from HFMD. No more ulcers in her mouth, and I do not see any blisters on her hands and feet either. But since her MC is till end of this week, I just let her stay at home.

While Afrina and Affandy, still have ulcers in their mouth. Good thing is that both do not have blisters on their hands and feet. Affandy do not really care about his ulcers as he ate almost anything. And yes, he talks a lot! But Afrina has some difficulty in swallowing food and talking. These few days she only ate porridge, and ice-cream for all the three of them.

I went to Afiqah and Affandy's school to collect their homework. They were given the whole of one week's school work. So they may be sick, but lessons still going on from home. And I am their teacher.

I realized that it's not easy to home school my children. They are not just completing their homework, but I have to teach them the new topics that are given. They need to catch up on their lessons so they will not fall back behind. Sometimes they are easy to coach, sometimes they do not co-operate enough. So that will make Ummi's blood go upstairs!!

Affandy kept asking what day is today and asked is it school holiday. When I replied no, he will raise the same old questions again and again - then why he is not in school!

Afiqah has started to miss her classmates. She even wanted to go to school by herself and asked me to look after Affandy. Like real, huh?
