Salam semua,

Tak lama dah nak raya haji. Tentu ada yang dah berniat nak buat ibadah korban. Muslim Aid ada anjurkan program korban “jarak jauh”. Nak tau lebih baca kat sini yer.

Kalau nak borang pun boleh download terus kat sini pula

Ceramah kat surau sempena sambutan raya disampaikan Ustaz Syukri. Bagus penyampaiannya. Sangat berkesan di hati. Antaranya ibu-ibu dipesan supaya membaca hadith kepada anak2 kita.

Pertama cintakan Allah.

Kedua cintakan Rasulullah.

Banyak hadith2 memperlihatkan amalan Rasulullah saw. Sebaiknya cuba kita terapkan dlm kehidupan kita dan didik anak2 kita sekali utk mengamalkan sunnah Rasulullah. Sunnah nabi ini memperlihatkan kepada kita akan ketinggian akhlak Rasulullah saw. Mudah2an kecintaan kita terhadapnya akan bertambah.

1. Sunat tidur dalam keadaan berwuduk. Sesiapa yang berwuduk saat ingin tidur dan meminta supaya ALLAH berikan kebaikan dunia dan akhirat pasti akan di kabulkan - Tirmizi.

2. Sewaktu menghadapi hidangan, Nabi membiasakan diri dengan mengambil makanan yang terdekat, kemudian baru di ambil hidangan yang lainnya sebagai simbolik kesopanan.

3. Sesiapa yang berniat mandi(untuk solat jumaat) kemudian pakai pakaian terbaik & wangian lalu solat jumaat, dosanya akan diampun hingga jumaat berikutnya-Ahmad.

4. Uthman bin Affan riwayatkan bahawa Nabi SAW apabila berwuduk, beliau membasahi janggutnya-Tirmizi

5. Nabi tidak pernah mencela makanan. Jika baginda suka, dia makan dan sebaliknya beliau tinggalkan-Bukhari. Apatah lagi jika makanan itu pemberian orang lain.

6. Sahabat meriwayatkan: Aku lihat Nabi SAW makan dengan 3 jari(ibu jari, telunjuk & tengah)-Muslim. Jarang sekali beliau makan dengan 4 ATAU 5 jari kecuali ada keperluan

7. Perbaharui wuduk tiap kali bersolat kerana padanya terdapat banyak fadhilat. Hadith: Sesiapa yang berwuduk dalam keadaan suci, ALLAH catatkan 10 kebaikan baginya-Abu Dawud.

8. Nabi SAW sering menghadap kekanan sedikit setelah solat berjemaah supaya makmum dapat melihat wajahnya. Sebaiknya imam berzikir dan doa seketika bersama makmum

9. Nabi tak makan sambil bersandar-Bukhari. Ertinya, baginda makan dengan duduk condong sedikit ke hadapan bagi elakkan dirinya terlalu kenyang & mudahkan penghadaman

10. Nabi sering beristinsyaq air kedalam hidung dan menghembuskannya. Selain membersihkan, ia juga mengelakkan sebarang penyakit yang berkaitan dengan hidung

11. Apabila Nabi tidur, ia dahulukan mengiring sebelah kanan - Bukhari. Dari segi kesihatan, cara berkenaan baik untuk jantung (yang berada di kiri badan) mengepam darah

12. Tika Nabi tidur, ia membaca surah Al-Ikhlas,Al-Falaq dan An-Naas lalu meniup telapak tangan serta menyapu keseluruh tubuh (mohon perlindunganNYA) - Bukhari

13. Wuduk dahulu jika ingin tidur sekalipun dalam keadaan junub. Nabi menyarankan, cukup dengan bersihkan kemaluan dan berwuduk tanpa perlu mandi wajib jika ingin tidur

14. Silangkan kaki jika tidur di masjid. Hadith: Sahabat melihatNabi berbaring di masjid dgn satu kakinya atas kaki yang lain (kerana bimbang terdedah aurat) - Bukhari

15. Adakalanya Nabi SAW amat menyukai doa-doa yang ringkas (mudah) - Abu Dawud. Baginda mementingkan kualiti doa itu sendiri dengan sedikit tetapi maknanya yang menyeluruh

16. Nabi seorang yang berpsikologi dalam memberi nasihat. Nabi memilih waktu yang sesuai untuk menasihati sahabat supaya mereka tidak bosan (atau tersinggung) - Bukhari

17. Menutup mulut dan rendahkan suara tika bersin. Hadith: Apabila Nabi bersin, beliau letakkan tangan atau pakaiannya dimulut (kerana dibimbangi terpercik) - Abu Dawud

18. Nabi tidak pernah menolak hadiah. Hadith: nabi selalu terima hadiah & amat menghargainya - Bukhari

19. Selalu memilih yang lebih mudah. Hadith: Mudahkan sesuatu & jangan kamu sukarkannya - Muttafaq Alaih

20. Berdiri apabila melihat iringan jenazah. Hadith: Apabila kamu sekalian melihat jenazah ( yang diusung), maka berdirilah (sbg tanda penghormatan) - Muttafaq Alaih

21. Bersujud syukur jika dapat khabar gembira. Nabi sering melakukannya ketika beroleh khabar yang menyenangkan sebagai tanda syukur hamba terhadap ALLAH - Abu Dawud

22. Beri salam hingga tiga kali sahaja. Bahawasanya Nabi (apabila mendatangi rumah sahabat) beri salam hingga 3 kali - Bukhari. Jika salamnya tak berjawab, beliau beredar.

23. Melakukan pekerjaan rumah. Hadith: Bantuan terhadap isterimu itu adalah sedekah-Ad-Dailami

Baca dan jadikan amalan serta sampaikan pada yang lain.

Pulut kuning utk che abe. Hepi b’day yg ke xx (rahsia.. tak leh gi tahu, nanti mare). Dlm masyarakat Melayu, masak pulut kuning tanda meraikan acaranya. Kenduri kawin pun ada, cukur jambul pun ada, khatam quran pun ada. Anak kita berkhatan pun ada. Adat ni tak salah asal tak kait dgn kepercayaan karut marut i.e. kalau tak buat nanti timbul bencana ke ape…

Dalam meraikan perkara2 yg menggembirakan ini, kita seringkali, lupa utk memanjatkan kesyukuran kepada Yang menganugerahinya. Makna sebenar kesyukuran tidak dihayati. Seringkali kita lupa drp mana dtgnya nikmat yg kita kecapi. Bukan tak ingat. Kekadang terlalai. Sifat manusia memang sentiasa lupa dan lalai. Dlm setengah saat shj kita mampu terpesong dari niat kita yg asal. Tentu pernah.. Sebelum angkat takbir, kita dah kosongkan hati , tetiba … hmmm..fahamkann.

Syukur sebenarnya adalah rasa rendah diri terhadap Pencipta kita, merasakan apa yg kita terima merupakan anugerah atau pemberian-Nya semata2. Yg bahawasanya kita tidak mampu membuat apa2 melainkan dgn izin-Nya.

Dan nikmat paling besar yg pernah Allah anugerah kpd kita adalah nikmat Iman dan Islam. Bersyukurlah kita, setiap celik je mata kita, kita masih dapat mengingati-Nya. Tanpa nikmat ini, kita pasti jadi org yang rugi di akhirat kelak. Don’t stop there.  Laluilah setiap detik hidup kita dgn Ihsan iaitu merasa Allah sentiasa ada di hadapan kita dan mohonlah agar Ia tidak meninggalkan kita walau sedetikpun, memberikan kita petunjuk setiap kali kita tersasar dari jalan-Nya.

Wallahualam.

Sunday, first week raya at ‘Akal di Ulu’. K.Na jamu nasi lauk gulai kambing and kerabu jantung pisang campur umbut kelapa and … apa2 lagilah. Pandai makan je. Janji baca bismillah.

Bab jamu perut dah licin. Ni buat jamu mata aje.

Sampai 2 tandan pisang abu dibawak balik. Bagi jiran2.. Masih ada lebih. K.Na suruh buat kerepek pisang. “Hai hati.. cepat2lah sampai seru. Jgn pisang jadi lembik nanti.”

Hah, yg ni nak buat ape? K.Na kata elok buat jem. Hmm! Jem kat rumah ni kureng jln sikit. Buat inti utk tat nenas?!! Malas.. org buat kuih sblm raya. Ha.. buat pajeri. Nantilah! KIV dulu.

Our world is corrupted with sickness and disease. Just take a look around. Everywhere, anywhere in the news and we will surely hear something about a virus or disease. There’s just no escaping this issue. Of course every single one of us want to prevent ourselves from getting a sickness. This is why professionals encourage certain lifestyles and practices. It’s prudent to stay on top of these issues at all times. Now, what about the afflictions you do acquire? Take the common cold or flu for instance. What do you do to get rid of these sicknesses quickly? Are you all for modern-day science or do you prefer an alternative herbal medicine? You may want to delve deeper before making any assumptions.

Can you name an alternative herbal medicine that works well for you? I know I can. You see, I tend to get sore in the forearm area. This is due to excessive typing. Clearly this could lead to horrific problems such as Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. However, I refuse to let such a thing happen. Now, I could use an oral medicine such as Ibuprofen to deal with the soreness. Sure, it may help a little. But, I want something that is going to treat and heal my forearms. This is when I began searching for an alternative herbal medicine. Eventually I stumbled across a German alternative herbal medicine. It is called Arnica cream. I immediately loved the fact that it’s all natural. Furthermore, it has been proven to heal joints and tendons. I knew it would be ideal for my aches and pains. After just one use, I was amazed at how well this alternative herbal medicine worked. I would think such a topical cream would make a fortune. These days I apply Arnica cream to my forearms each night before bed, and when I wake up each morning, they’re restored. It’s phenomenal stuff.

So, do you have a good reason why someone might choose an alternative herbal medicine over one that science has produces? Hey, I can. We are becoming more and more hip to the dangers of these man-made concoctions. It’s difficult not to notice all the backlash. I certainly don’t want my liver destroyed by some new-age medicine. Why not check out the contemporary alternative herbal medicine available these days instead.

I just feel like writing on getting advice. Just bear with me. (Don’t guess what happened)

Where would you normally get the advice and guidance? You should know that there are many places to get advice for women. Some of these sources are better than others, but I think many women fail to tap into the best resource that they have. There are magazines and advice columns, and other things like that, but we fail to look without ourselves to find the answers to our biggest problems. You may not be able to see it when you are going through something, but somewhere deep inside you already know the answers to your most trying questions.

We should most definitely get our advice for women from our mother, sisters and our friends. I am fortunate that I am close to my sisters. We get along very well. It goes without saying, though there are many of us who refuse to think the advice might be valid. When you are looking for advice for women, you are going to get better advice from those who know you. It is easy for someone who is writing an advice column to dole out advice for women in a very basic way, but this type of advice is very simple and wide reaching. It will never touch upon the issue in the way that you need.

What about getting it from our husbands? I trust mine. He too gives good advice in some areas that men can answer.

Perhaps one of the best ways that I find advice for women is to sit on the problem. This isn’t always possible, but if you can do this, this is what you should do. You have to think it through before you make a decision, and sometimes all you need is the right amount of time to pass for you to come up with the proper answer. If it helps, take the time to write it out and see what you come up with. You may read back what you have written only to find that you have found your advice for women in your own words. It might be right there in front of you.

No matter how much advice for women we get, we always end up putting our own spin on it, and perhaps that is the best way to go. If you are asking for advice for women and you find that you are arguing with each and every answer or piece of advice that you are getting, you may have to realize that you are not truly ready for the answer. When we are going through something, the most painful answer is usually the right answer. Make sure you take the time to listen to yourself, and put off making a decision until you have run it over in your mind every single way that you can.

Pray hard and pray well. May Allah bless us all and guide in in everything that we do, especially during this holy month of Ramadhan. Hoping to see the lights of Al-Qadr.

Local Malaysian fruits season is back. Around this time (May to Aug every year), that’s Summer for most people above the Equator, Malaysia bears its best. And below I have included some photos of the famous DURIAN, only found in Malaysia and Thailand, I am made to understand. Many tourists from especially the Western countries cannot bear its strong smell but to us locals, nothing beats the durian hands down, the taste and smell….. oooooo, so marvelous. If any of you are comng to Malaysia, make a point to look (and eat) for durians, that’s pronounced DOO-REE-YARN.

Musim buah datang lagi. Three weeks hubby keje kat Perak, dah 3 times bawak balik durian. Gi kebun atok Salim pun bawak balik durian . Gi rumah maktok, pakuda belanja lagi durian kat pasar malam. Tak jemu2 makan durian. Nasib baik buah durian, bukan steak! Kalau tak .. kantoi dietku.

Ingat masa kecik dulu, kalau abah beli durian, semua adik beradik berkeliling depan durian. Masing2 nak cuba skil robek durian. Ada yang luka pun masih tak serik2 nak cuba kopek. Seronok!! Sekarang ni, anak2 sendiri pulak berebut nak kopek durian. Paling suka durian kalau rasanya pahit2 sket. Durian kampung. Tapi anak2 tak gemar kalau pahit tu. Di pasnye kat kite suruh peghabis.

Cantiknya!! Buah ni hasil usaha atok Salim (my pak mertua) utk anak cucu.

Sedapnye!! Jemput makan…..

Haa.. Dah banyak sangat?!!

Buat pulak kuah durian..

Nama pun musim buah.. Manggis dan rambutan pun tak kalah.

Durian kalau dah over, buat tempoyak. (Sorry takde gambar)

Dah lebih sebulan balik dari umrah. Masa baru balik, rasa iman tu.. okeeyy je. Tapi laa ni.. rasa iman macam down aje. Gitulah rasa diri ni.

Kelas feqah 2 minggu sekali, dah kena tangguh pulak last week. Ustazah bersalin.. Haa tunggu lepas rayalah sambungnye. Kelas ngaji pun 2 kali seminggu tapi on Sunday. Masa tu pulak, anak2 ada yg tiusyen, ada yg kelas prep, ada pulak kelas taekwando. Sibuk betul manusia di zaman ini kan. Kekadang antara 2 kepentingan,… nak cari ilmu ke?!! Atau jenguk orangtua?!! Bila dah lama tak jenguk mak, kelas ngaji dikorbankan.

Tapi alhamdulillah, setiap kali jenguk ‘tingkap’ ada saja yang bagi tazkirah. Mudah2an dpt ketuk diri yg selalu terleka. Dari mamafami ke semilir angin berlayar sesekali ke yahoo group. Inilah yg sempatku jenguk selalu.

Terimakasih bebanyak pada org yg rajin2 sebar tazkirah. Mudah2an Allah catatkan sebagai amalan. Ni dari mamafami fotopages.

Bila Allah cepat makbulkan doamu

Maka DIA Menyayangimu,

Bila DIA lambat makbulkan doamu

Maka DIA ingin Mengujimu,

Bila DIA tidak makbulkan doamu

Maka DIA Merancang Sesuatu Yang Lebih Baik Untukmu

Oleh itu, Sentiasalah Bersangka Baik Pada ALLAH

Dalam Apa Jua Keadaan Pun

…… Kerana Kasih Sayang ALLAH Itu Mendahului KemurkaanNya.

Renungkanlah …..

Kongsikanlah……

Mungkin saat ini sahabat kita sedang bergembira kerana hajatnya dikabulkan,

Mungkinjuga, saat ini sahabat kita masih mengharap dari Tuhan-Nya

Atau mungkin juga, saat ini sahabat kita sedang bersedih

…..kerana hajatnya tidak kesampaian.

Malam Isnin tu lepas dinner, Ustaz Ridhwan bagi ceramah on tawaf wida. By this time I was really very2 sad. Sedih sangat. Hanya satu hari lagi yang ada kemungkinan boleh buat umrah. Sedih tapi mesti redha. Mesti bersangka-baik dengan Allah.

Namun aku masih menaruh harapan. Aku masih ada masa. Dalam masa tu, terus aje doa dan terus2 doa dan harap.

Tuesday, second last day, masih belum boleh lagi. Tati nak buat last umrah.. her fourth. Dia pun dah banyak missed sebab period. Mak nak buat last minute shopping. So mak tak nak ikut. Makchu masih tak berapa sihat. So it’s just me and Tati. Teman kan dia ke Tanaim. Sendiri tak dapat buat umrah. But at least merasa jugak naik coaster. Keluar dari masjid di Tanaim, terserempak dengan ustaz Idris. Dia lawe naik bas Andalusia, bawak group baru. So balik naik bas Ustadz Idris.

Rabu, hari terakhir. Alhamdulillah .. Allah mengkabulkan doa ku. Akhirnya boleh solat. subuh then tunggu yang lain balik dari masjidilharam. By this time, all the bags are lined out in front of our room. Breakfast, then kami berempat menuju ke Masjidilharam.

(First row dari kanan - mak, Sarah, mak Sarah, mama comel {perasan}, makChu, Ina, mak sedara Ina.. Selepas umrah ke-2 - picture kamera Sarah)

Ya Allah… terimakasih Ya Allah kerana Engkau izinkan aku menjejakkan kakiku sekali lagi disini, Ya Allah. Betapa berharganya peluang yang diberi Allah ini.. Sesungguhnya, Engkau Maha Pengasih Lagi Maha Menyayangi.

Ya Allah, kuberdoa di multazam ini, kugoreskan doaku di atas lantai ini, dihadapan rumah-Mu Ya-Allah. Terimalah dan kabulkanlah doa-doaku.

Selamat tinggal Makkah. Selamat tinggal Madinah. Dengan izin Tuhan, ku pasti kembali…
