Do you?

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ


Do you ever encounter a moment where you feel like all is lost?
Like everything is hopeless and there is no where else you can run or turn to?
Be it a relationship, a financial problem, a friendship, a family matters or any troubles that makes you feel like there are no way out of it?
Do you?

And in that particular moment, do you realized that you will directly think of God?
in my case, Allah SWT...
you would beg to Him...asked Him to make it easier for you, asked Him to help you, asked Him to give a miracle to you...
Masya-Allah..how we beg and beg and beg to get out of the mess we are in...

Sometimes, Allah didn't really answer your plea in the way that you want..depends on your condition..
Some other times, Allah help you out, ease all the matters thats troubling you, give you money out of no where (though it might be from somewhere or something you forgot),ease your burden by making everything okay again...
Subhanallah..that moment...that moment you are out of the mess, Alhamdulillah...
but do you ever remembered to keep saying Alhamdulillah after that?
do you remember to plea from Him again after everything is fine again?
Do you?

I know I don't....i used to neglect stuff like that...
I used to feel like, Masya-Allah, Allah have blessed me with easiness in my life and my daily life...but i forgot..
I forgot that He, He wants you to beg and plea to Him...
to asked Him for anything, for forgiveness, for easiness...
beg Him, look for Him, search for Him...
instead, I used to just pray without even asking of begging for anything...
Pray just to fulfill the must...
Pray just to make sure i didnt be like the kufar...
I didnt pray like i did when I was so down with heavy heart..
I didnt beg in my heart...I didn't feel what I'm reciting in the prayers..
I didn't try to understand what my mouth were saying...I just recite it as fast as I can...

Astaghfirullah...
How weak are our imaan...how high are our ego...
for not able to humble ourselves in our prayer...not able to beg and plea with all our heart in every words we recite in our prayers...
They said, changes is easy..all you need is a leap of faith..
but to Istiqamah in everything we trying to change, Subhanallah..its hard...It's very hard...

Ingin


بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ


aku ingin untuk jatuh cinta kepadanya
aku ingin untuk merinduinya sepenuh hatiku
aku ingin mendidik diriku untuk lebih mengenalinya
aku ingin merasa manisnya rindu yang disulami iman
aku ingin merasa indahnya hidup berpandukan sunnahnya
aku ingin merasa bahagianya disana jika berada didalam syafaatnya

akanku didik hati ini untuk sentiasa mengingatinya.. untuk sentiasa merinduinya..untuk sentiasa berusaha untuk mengenalinya dengan lebih baik dan jatuh cinta dengan akhlaknya yang mulia...
aku ingin menangis rindu ketika mendengar nama Baginda
aku ingin bertemu dengannya di akhirat sana..
layak kah aku?
mampukah aku?
dikala hatiku belum cukup terusik dikala mendengar namanya
dikala hatiku belum cukup sayu bila mendengar kisahnya

layak kah aku?
sungguh?
mampukah aku mendidik diri ini?
sebelum sampai masa untuk bertemu denganNya?

Dream that I used to dreamt


بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

One day...
I used to dreamt that I finally found him
and we would be together in the name of Allah
I told myself that
I would make things easier for him
I would take care of him
I would treat him like a baby he's pretending to be
In hope that he would take care of me and I will make sure I'm doing my best to care for him too

I would love him immensely
I would respect him as much as I can
I certainly would be loyal to him
I would be there when he needs me to
If his business fails or money's tight at home, I will support him
I would be there for him even more
I would not nag for his failure like everyone else around him would
I hope I would be the one person that looks up to him and believe him
I hope I woule be the one person he feels safe discussing his failures with
Safe from mockery, safe from sarcastic remarks

I would love him as much as I can and letting him know constantly
I would tell him, show him and do things out of my way for him
I would surprise him with gifts, just to make him feel special
In hope that he is doing the same thing, reciprocating the same behaviour to me

I would treat him well,
I would try to lessen his worries as much as I can
I would try to make him happy
I would show him my most vulnerable self, hoping he would be there to take care of me
I would trust him to be there for me
I would trust him and know he is doing his best for me
I would trust what he says
I would respect him and be loyal to him
and whenever he needs me, I would be there for him

I'm not asking much either
Just respect, love and loyalty

Bilamana jariku ingin berbicara...

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Kadang-kadang, otakku berfikir
Ligat memikirkan...
Apakah sumbangan ku terhadap agama?
Apakah sumbangan pekerjaanku terhadap islam?
Apa yang akan aku dapat di akhirat nanti dari pekerjaanku ini?

Sungguh, sehingga sekarang, aku tidak mampu memikirkan satu apa pun yang dpt memberi manfaat kepada diriku di akhirat nanti di dalam pekerjaanku ini...
Sedih...sadis...
Kadang-kadang, aku merasakan bahawa aku telah tersalah bidang untuk berbakti kepada agama dan memberi manfaat kepadaku di akhirat sana.

Aku mencari dan terus mencari...
Menjadi seorang doktor, Subhanallah besar manfaatnya di akhirat nanti jika amanah itu djaga sebaiknya.
Menjadi seorang cikgu, Allahu Akbar betapa beruntungnya mereka jika ilmu yang indah itu semakin berkembang dan menjadi pahala kepada si pengajarnya.
Tetapi, menjadi seorang programmer...apa yang mampu aku lakukan?

Aku tahu, tidak banyak yang dpt aku lakukan untuk agama..lebih2 lagi bila agreement pekerjaan kami tidak membenarkan pekerjaan luar yg melibatkan IT.

Dikala aku masih mencari, Allah menunjukkan aku..
Dakwah...
Ya..hanya itu yang aku mampu
Dengan persekitaranku yang dikelilingi bukan seagamaku...yang semuanya berbangsa cina..
Alhamdulillah, mungkin perjalanan hidupku tidak seindah yang lain, tapi Allah memberikan aku pekerjaan yang aku minati, dikelilingi rakan-rakan sekerja yang memahami dan saling bantu-membantu dan menasihati. Sungguh, aku bersyukur berada bersama mereka meskipun berlainan agama. Tidak ada fitnah, tidak ada umpat mengumpat..cuma kerja kerja dan juga makanan..hehehe..
Aku selesa bersama mereka..dan aku harap mereka juga selesa berada disekitarku...
Mereka mengambil berat tentang kehalalan makanan bila mahu makan bersama atau membuat jamuan kecil sesama kami..
Dan paling membuat aku rasa sungguh bersyukur, mereka sering menanyaku tentang islam..
Nah...disitu..Allah memberiku peluang untuk berdakwah..
Aku sedaya upaya menerangkan sebaik mungkin dan seindah mungkin tentang islam..
Ada yg bertanya mengenai puasa...ada yang bertanya mengenai solat jumaat dan mengapa perempuan tidak diwajibkan ( soalan ini agak sukar bagiku )..ada yang menanya mengapa ada perempuan islam yang tidak bertudung jika bertudung itu wajib ( nah, rasa tertampar pipiku dgn soalan ini )...ada yang bertanya mengapa ada perbezaan mazhab di dalam islam..dan bermacam2 lagi
Subhanallah...soalan-soalan tersebut, disamping aku cuba untuk mjawab sebaik mungkin untuk mengindahkan islam, juga mengingatkan bahawa betapa lemahnya diriku..betapa ceteknya ilmu ku.. Sungguh...soalan-soalan mereka menyedarkanku..
Bagaimana diri ini mahu menjadi muslimah sejati? bagaimana diri ini mahu memberi petunjuk yang baik? bagaimana diri ini mahu berdakwah membesarkan Islam? Jika ilmu didada juga masih lagi belum cukup? Jika ilmu tidak diraih setiap hari?

Ya, ilmu... Ilmu perlu sentiasa dicari, sentiasa diperbaharui...
Benar kita islam sedari kecil...benar kita belajar agama disekolah dari kecil..
Tapi sahabat, tanya diri anda, berapa banyak ilmu yang kamu belajar itu masih diingati sejelas-jelasnya? 
Jangan..jangan dikata selagi tahu halal haram itu cukup..selagi tahu solat itu wajib, cukup..tahu rukun Islam dan rukun Iman...tetapi, keikhlasan tiada didalam diri...
Pandangan mata yg menjadi zina mata dan zina hati tidak dijaga...
Tiada rasa cinta pun terdetik bila mendengar ayat-ayat suci Al-Quran..tiada rasa rindu pun untuk sentiasa bertahajjud kepada yang Esa.. tiada rasa ringan pun lidah untuk berselawat ke atas junjunganNya tika mendengar nama Nabi Muhammad SAW itu disebut..
Tepuklah dada...tanyalah jiwa...bahagiakah kita nanti di akhirat sana?

Aku mahu ilmu...untuk berdakwah..untuk disampaikan.. supaya menjadi bekalanku diakhirat nanti..
Aku ingin menjadi seorang guru, supaya aku mendapat manfaat dari ilmu-ilmu yang aku berikan..Subhanallah, sekarang aku seorang tutor..
Aku cemburu dengan ibadah kerja seorang doktor, Alhamdulillah, sekarang aku mengajar matapelajaran sains yang mengagungkan ciptaan Allah SWT kepada anak2 muridku..

Lihat...betapa besarnya nikmat Allah berikan...
betapa indah perjalanan hidupku yang diaturNya...
Hebat bukan? Allahu Akbar!

Aku akui aku pernah buta...pernah lalai.. dek kerana cinta manusia...
Aku khilaf didalam nikmat yang dberikan.. Aku kufur kepadaNya...
Alhamdulillah, betapa cintanya Allah kepadaku..
Betapa besarnya dan hebatnya nikmat yang lebih indah Dia berikan kepadaku..
Alhamdulillah...

Not my intention...no sir..

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

As everyone around me known, I've been through a hard situation last year. And I almost lost myself in the process of adapting to things that are not even sure, things that are promised to me. Masya-Allah, He really want me to know how strong I can be and how much I have deviate from the straight path slowly.

Here I am today, to remind myself of my own path. The dark and twisted days that have consumed most of my thoughts, the hopeful and wishful thinking that we can still work it out, without knowing how much a person would do to get you out of their life. With reasons, beautiful and very thoughtful reasons, that sounds legit to my own ears where my heart was still full of love. With ideas and goodbyes that makes you think that you are still in their heart just because they do love you eventhough you are not together anymore. With people around me saying how much bullshit all those words are to them. How it was only stupid reasons, as they can't stand you anymore or perhaps, afraid of the commitment that we shown in that relationship. And how much I deny all those words in my head and my heart, because I choose to believed that everything was sincere, everything was the truth..all those tender moments, those beautiful memories and those sweet words. I choose to stay with love. I choose to believed it was true love. Until He showed me, how unworthy I was towards that person. How low he look at me as. How disgusted he is with me up till the point that he told me to leave him alone. He make me feel how sinful I am that there would be no way he would accept me for my sins. That there will be no way he would try and save me. I was broken to the point of I was begging for mercy...My mistakes was, begging towards the wrong place. 

I learned. I try to get back on my feet. Dragging every possible energy that's left of me. I learned. Learning again things I should have learn years ago. About Islam, about fiqh, about iman, about sabr and about qada' n qadr. I try to save him, try to let him know his err as well as mine. I learned from it. But all I get was, "you seem to know so much about deen,but look at what you've done"...my past mistakes was being used over and over again to push me down. It was as if, there is no way my repent would be accepted, it was as if its impossible for me to be better than the old me and learned. Masya-Allah, He do love me with all the hardship I've been through. Alhamdulillah He didnt give me istidraj to lead me astray..He make me endure this pain so I would run back to Him in full fledge. I learned.

Now, when my pretty little cousin endure the same fate as me, where all the plans, the wedding talks only left as memories. When she told me everything that happen, I feel like I was listening to my own self. Telling my own stories. The different is, now I am moving on and accepting that if we were to continue, my own soul will be at risk. My imaan will not be able to save me from the sins I will keep making. And she, is still in a stage where, she still praying for them to be together. A denial stage I would tell myself. I try my best to help her get through this more easily than I am. By telling her to keep running to Him and put everything for Him. And stop asking for that guy in her prayers. Just focus on saving her own imaan first. I know, I may come out wrong, and sounding like I was much better than anyone else. But trust me, all my intention is to remind her..and at the same time, reminding myself too. The thing about imaan and our heart, it need constant reminder. And I dont want her to lower herself by doing all those things I've been through again. All I pray for is, she would come out faster than the dark pit than I was. Its hard, I know it is. And it will still be hard after a few months.

I wish I was as clean as I thought I would be.. But sometimes, memories are one of those things that can make you trip over your own feet. and I almost did sometimes. and I need to remind myself, I am in much better place doing things I want without anyone holding me back trying to stop me from reaching for my dreams. Alhamdulillah..

4our months older

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

"The drought was the very worst, when the flower we grown together died of thirst. The rain come pouring down when I was drowning. That's when I finally breathe."

Months and months have passed by,
Getting older and wiser day by day, insya-Allah.
Learnt a hard lesson that somehow changed who I used to be,
Changed some part of me that I can never really admit,
Until came that news.

Subhanallah,
He won't test His servant if they couldnt cope with it.
and I know, my greatest weakness was my heart.
I used to be proud of my own heart, despite the hard world outside,
I'm able to still hold on to my own version of fairy tale,
and still a hopeless romantic.
But now, the thing I am scared the most is this heart of mine.

The knives cut in my back still somehow holds the wound open,
I'm trying hard to let it heal, but it still bears the deepest scars I have ever had.

The me before, would be very happy and without hesitating will agree
The me after, the me now, having some trust issues
Words, I used to hold on to, because my words are things I meant
Now, words is just not enough to make my heart at ease
Hesitation after hesitation
One reasons after another

To the point I start to doubt myself,
Am I enough?
Am I ready?
Have I done enough to make my own queen happy?
Before I could make someone else's queen as happy as they want them to be?
Have my faith for Him strong enough?
Will I let the love for another creature takes over this heart more than my love for Him, like I did before?
Am I strong enough to make sure that these would not happen again?
Am I good enough?

I don't even understand who I am anymore
I don't even know who I am before
But I know what I want and what I need to do
I know my ultimate goal is only one
Will I have to let go of the one that really knows me
the one person who understands me more than my own blood

Heart
even if it's four months older, 
it is still fragile after all
cause that's where all my fears resides.

Sahabat

بِسْمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ


Bila diucapkan bersahabat Lillahi taala
Periksa hati..adakah ikhlas diucapkan?

Bila bersahabat, bukannya sentiasa perlu berhubung
Bila bersahabat, kita tidak perlu pengharapan
Bila bersahabat, kita perlu memahami
Setiap org mempunyai masalah tersendiri
Setiap org mempunyai perangai tersendiri
Jika ikhlas bersahabat, cukup la sentiasa saling mengingati dan menasihati
Jika ikhlas bersahabat, adakah tindakan kita meninggalkan atau tidak mempedulikan sahabat yg memerlukan bimbingan kita atau nasihat kita itu ikhlas?
Jika mereka hanya ada kita untuk membimbing atau mengingati, siapa yang akan membantu mereka utk kembali atau berubah menjadi lebih baik jika kita pergi?

Tepuk dada...tanya iman dihati..
Jangan terlalu mengikut emosi..
Kerana disitu la syaitan akan mula menempatkan diri

Seorang sahabat akan sentiasa berusaha untuk membantu
Seorang sahabat akan sentiasa bersikap terbuka

Ya..adakalanya mimang hati akan terusik..
terluka dgn tindakan sahabat yg kita sayangi
tapi jika benar kita sayang hubungan itu, adakah kita sanggup biarkan ia begitu sahaja?

setiap hubungan, samada keluarga, sahabat atau pasangan,
semuanya memerlukan kompromi
semuanya memerlukan perbincangan yg ikhlas dari hati ke hati
bukannya hanya berdiam diri dan minda mengandaikan beribu2 situasi

aku mempunyai sahabat yang memang sensitif
yang mudah menangis
Alhamdulillah kami masih bersahabat selama 21 tahun ini
ya..ada masanya masing2 terguris hati
tapi kami akan mengatakan apa yg terbuku di hati..
sama2 saling meluahkan apa yg tidak dpuaskan hati
sama2 saling meminta maaf dan memaafi
Mungkin salah aku yang kurang sensitif
Mungkin salah dia yang terlalu sensitif
Tapi jujurnya, bukan salah siapa2..
tetapi itulah diri kami..dan kami perlu berkompromi untuk menerima kelebihan dan kekurangan masing2
selalu berhubung? jauh sekali
sehingga jika aku terlalu leka bersama sahabat lain, dia akan terkecil hati
tapi dia tidak menjauhkan diri..jauh sekali untuk meninggalkan aku sendiri
Dia akan mencari diriku dan mengatakan rasa kecewa dihati
mungkin bukan salah aku, tapi akan aku minta maaf
kerana aku secara tidak sengaja mengecilkan hatinya

Sungguh...kami sayang persahabatan kami kerana Allah
Kami ingin jaga ikatan ini..bukan senang semudahnya untuk melepaskan pergi hanya kerana berkecil hati
Ya dia pernah terasa hati kerana aku pernah memarahinya lebih dari sepatutnya
ya..aku sering memarahinya..menegurnya
kadang2 aku tidak sedar akan kekasaranku
tapi aku ikhlas kerana sayang
dia akan memberitahu aku bahawa aku telah mengecilkan hatinya
aku terlalu kasar
aku akan meminta maaf..
kerana bila kita tahu cara kita salah, atau dia tidak dpt menerima cara kita
pintalah kemaafan..
kerana kalau kita sayang hubungan itu..jagalah ia
beri kemaafan..minta kemaafan..
bukan dengan menjauhkan diri atau memutuskan hubungan

aku bukan jenis yang akan mencari jika aku masih didalam kesibukan
tapi jika mereka mencari, akan aku cuba sepenuh hati
jika mereka memerlukan bantuan, akan aku segera memenuhi
tapi jika aku benar2 tidak mampu, akan aku katakan sejujurnya

Sungguh...itu tidak rasional dan matang bagiku
atau siapa2 diluar sana...
berfikir secara matang...
Bila semuanya mengikut emosi
amat mudah pemikiran kita dipengaruhi
Fikirkanlah... jika syg..jagalah ia
Fikir secara matang..
hanya ini mampu aku luahkan..
