Bismillahirrahmanirrahim<br />
<br />
I can't believe that my last post was in 2012! It has been almost 5 years since I last ventured into writing. These creative juices haven't been flowing for a very long time.<br />
<br />
Long story short, I've completed my housemanship, got married and now 6 weeks postpartum with my first child, a beautiful daughter whom we've decided to name Aufa Safiyya.<br />
<br />
Alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah.<br />
<br />
Being a mother and a first-timer at that, it was a roller-coaster ride for me.The first few weeks was very difficult for me. But I want to share from the beginning (since Aufa is asleep, i have 1-2 hours to myself).<br />
<br />
I started my maternity leave at approximately 36 weeks POA (period of amenorrhea), at 9 months pregnant. Mostly because I wanted to deliver back at home and had to take a flight back so I decided to somewhat glitch my way a few days after the 34-35 weeks limit to most flights because I didn't want to waste my 90 days maternity leave.<br />
<br />
My days at home were mostly routine for the last 4 weeks or so before my labor started. I woke up in the morning, went for walks at the park or swimming and rested for most of the time. I started shopping and arranging things at home in preparation for <i>the </i>day. I became quite emotional at the end of my pregnancy (I blame it on the surge of hormones).<br />
<br />
So the last appointment with my O&G was at 39 weeks 5 days on Friday 18/11/2016. Just a routine one actually. My pregnancy was uneventful, I didn't even have morning sickness alhamdulillah. The thing was, during the antenatal scan, my O&G discovered that my liquor was reduced (read: Oligohydramnios). AFI was only 5! But I didn't have any leaking or rupture of membranes which was quite surprising to me and her. "I think you have to be admitted tonight and tomorrow we'll induce you, ok?"<br />
<br />
Let me tell you, even being in the medical field this was like a bombshell just dropped onto me. I was shocked out of my wits! Being like the typical, emotional pregnant patient, I asked her can we just do it on Monday or Sunday. I wasn't ready for an induction.Of course she said no. So she did one CTG, I went home, packed my bags, ate my heart out and went back to the hospital at 9pm.<br />
<br />
The next morning, another CTG was done, she examined me and said that my cervix was actually open 2-3cm. I even had contractions (shown by the CTG - I didn't feel them). So no prostin (a pill inserted into your vagina to kickstart contractions) for me, she ruptured my membranes artificially and started the oxytocin infusion.<br />
<br />
I didn't request for an epidural when she offered because at the time, I was so confident that I could handle the pain. Boy was I wrong. So wrong! Contractions became excruciating at 11-ish am. I was already sweating and dancing on the bed with the CTG strapped to my belly. I kept asking to go to the toilet, begging the nurse and my O&G to free me of the CTG and the IV line. I didn't care how I looked, I was just trying to bear down the pain. Alhamdulillah, my mother was with me the whole time. She had to endure my strong grip on her hands when the contractions came. I didn't even let her go out of the room out of my sight!<br />
My husband arrived around 2pm. At 3.40pm, my cervix was fully dilated so they converted my bed to a labour bed and started encouraging me. I tried pushing for 45-50 minutes. And I finally delivered my beautiful baby girl at 4.25pm on the 19/11/2016, vacuum-assissted. I realised, pushing out a baby out of you wasn't as easy as it looks.<br />
<br />
I was discharged the next day in the evening alhamdulillah.<br />
<br />
So that was my labor story.<br />
<br />
An unforgettable experience. I'm not ready for another one yet, maybe in another 4-5 years. Haha. Pray for us ok.<br />

If there is something wrong with your skin, you should definitely think about something wrong going on inside your body (either it is because of a disease, immune deficiency.. well, the list goes on, i'll probably bore you if i list them all down here). There were a whole lot of other things the professor told us, some of which really taught me, not only about dermatology and medicine but also about life. That was what i liked most about my dermatology cycle, you can gain all the knowledge you want from books and the internet but life experience is something invaluable to share with, something you can't get from books.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Cambria","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Cambria","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin">And so the same goes for us. sometimes, the way we talk, the way we look at others and talk to them, the way we smile and just by what we do, we actually convey if not all, part of what is inside of us. We do what our heart and mental judgment tells us too. We speak about what is in our hearts, about what is in our minds. If our hearts and minds are troubled, the things we do and talk will also be affected. <o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Cambria","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin"><o:p> </o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family: "Cambria","serif";mso-ascii-theme-font:major-latin;mso-hansi-theme-font:major-latin"><i>"Truly in the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it be whole, all the body is whole and which, if it be diseased, all of it is diseased.

We are so occupied with ourselves that we forget to look around us and see what others are going through, possibly the times they are going through are tougher than us. At times, we forget to smile or ask how they are doing.

Dan of course, siapa yang tidak akan buat begitu kan?<br /><br />Tapi, yang peliknya... ada segolongan lagi yang tidak mahu masuk syurga lagi. Even when they already know that they will be inhabitants of Jannatullah, they will stand still. Dan mereka mula bertanya kepada Allah,<span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">"Ya Allah, saudara-saudara kami masih ada di dalam neraka... Saudaraku yang sentiasa bersamaku ketika solat, ketika puasa, (ketika berbuat apa-apa pun amal). Selamatkanlah mereka dari api neraka..</span> Tolonglah, Ya Allah!" Dan mereka pun merayu-rayu kepada Allah supaya mengeluarkan saudara-saudara mereka dari neraka.<br /><br />Dan Allah Yang Maha Pengasih, Lagi Maha Penyayang berkata,</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255); font-weight: bold;font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" >"Pergilah dan keluarkanlah di antara saudara-saudaramu mana yang kau rasakan di dalam hatinya ada kebaikan sama dengan satu dinar"..</span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" ><br /><br />Berbondong-bondonglah mereka masuk ke neraka untuk menarik saudara-saudara mereka keluar dari neraka. And even at one time, the hellfire reaches till their knees, but it does not burn them. Subhanallah... And they will take whoever they recognize in the Hellfire and quickly take them out from it.<br /><br />Allah berkata lagi,"Keluarkanlah mana-mana saudaramu yang kau rasa mereka punya kebaikan sama dengan setengah dinar dan mereka pun masuk semula dan mengeluarkan sesiapa sahaja yang mereka kenal. And for the third time, Allah berkata,"Pergilah dan keluarkanlah saudaramu yang kau rasa punya</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" > <span style="font-weight: bold;">kebaikan dalam hatinya seberat satu atom pun.</span></span><span style=";font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" >" Dan sekali lagi, mereka pun turun beramai-ramai untuk mengeluarkan sesiapa yang mereka kenal dari api neraka.<br /><br />Hmm.. sounds truly unbelievable, no?<br /><br />But yet, Allah has said in the Quran...<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-style: italic;font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;" >"Surely!

Alhamdulillah. Alhamdulillah. All thanks are for Him as I breathe today with the understanding and comprehension He has given me. Asif jiddan kerana lama benar tak update blog, rasanya kalau guna vacuum pun tak dapat nak membersihkan sawang-sawang yang ada.. hehe... A few days I thought over the same thing, how I used to be and how it still affects me a little (at times, a lot) Ya benar, masih ada karat-karat Jahiliyah yang kadang-kadang melambatkan pergerakanku.. Mujahadah itu perlu bagi setiap Muslim. Di manakah letaknya iman kalau kita tiada mujadah? I used to think that when I'm about to do something, I just do it. Half-heartedly. What's in it for me, anyway?<br /><br />But how was I wrong. So wrong.<br /><br />Rasulullah bersabda, pada "Hari Infinity" nanti, akan ada seorang yang terakhir keluar dari neraka Jahannam. Dan bila dia keluar sahaja, dia rasa dialah orang yang paling beruntung sebab dapat melalui pelbagai azab dan masih dapat keluar dari neraka (padahal rasanya, orang yang memasuki Jannah bukan ke lebih baik?). Allah pun bertanya kepadanya kalau dia perlukan apa-apa lagi.. Dengan senang hatinya, dia menjawab, "Takpe2, ya Allah... aku dah cukup gembira dok bwh pokok yg rendang ni.. byk buahnya, sungai pun ada.."<br /><br />Dan ceritanya berakhir begitu sahaja.<br /><br />Hehe... tidak2, itu gurauan sahaja... Dengan izin Allah, Allah menampakkan kepadanya sebuah pokok yang lebih besar dengan lebih banyak buah dan dengan sungai yang lebih besar. Maka, lelaki itu tadi pun meminta kepada Allah agar dipindahkan ke pokok yang lebih besar tu. "Eh, kata tadi dah taknak apa-apa dah?" Allah bertanya (maaf, ayat yang exact tak dapat di kenal pasti). Dan lelaki itu pun merayu-rayu untuk dipindahkan ke pokok yang lebih besar itu. Dengan rahmat Allah, dia pun duduklah di bawah pokok besar itu. Kisah ini berterusan sampailah pada satu masa, Allah menampakkan syurga kepadanya (barangkali lelaki itu panjat pokok dan terintai-intai syurga.. mungkin? Hanya Allah yang tahu) dan serta-merta dia jatuh cinta pada syurga dan merayu dengan gila-gila pada Allah (begging, grovelling, you name it). Dah tiada malu dah untuk terus meminta supaya dimasukkan ke syurga.<br /><br />Allah pun bertanya,"Adakah kamu nak masuk ke dalam syurga yang isi di dalamnya lebih hebat dari isi di dunia? Adakah kamu nak masuk ke dalam syurga yang isi di dalamnya lebih hebat dari isi di dunia?" Allah pun mengulang-ulang pertanyaan tu sebanyak 10 kali.<br /><br />Lelaki itu pun terkebil-kebil dan berkata (dalam English best sikit kot), "Oh Allah, are you making fun of me?" "Kau buat lawak dgn aku ke, Ya Allah... Aku nak masuk syurga ni!" Betapa desperatenya lelaki itu nak masuk syurga.<br /><br />Periwayat hadith itu senyum. Kerana Rasulullah pun tersenyum dan bertanya kepada yang mendengar cerita itu, "Tak nak tanya ke kenapa aku senyum?"<br /><br />Nak tanya jugalah, "Tak nak tanya ke kenapa aku senyum?"<br /><br />Kalau tak nak tanya pun takpelah, akan aku kisahkan jua..<br /><br />Rasulullah senyum sebab Allah SWT pun senyum (sweet kan?). Allah senyum kerana dengan rahmat, kasih sayang dan cintaNya... Dia memasukkan lelaki itu ke dalam Jannah...<br /><br />Sometimes, we have a very vague idea of how Jannah is like, it is full of grape trees, streams, you can have whatever you want in there. But truth is, it is more than what we think it is. Saya rasa syurga itu macam itu atau macam ini... tidak! Syurga itu lebih dari itu! Lebih dari apa otak kita (walaupun berfikir di luar kotak) dapat membayangkan. It is more than that!! We're talking about infinity here, people!<br /><br />So, what has this hadith have anything to do with mujahadah?<br /><br />Like Stephen Covey said... "To begin with the end in mind." In whatever we do, whatever we strive for, we have to have an aim (for example, Jannah), a push that keeps us going, a striving force, an impact force that makes us move with ultimate strength like we've never known before. Jihad untuk melawan diri sendiri, berdakwah dan berjihad fi sabilillah, bekerja untuk Islam sepenuh masa... what makes us go far?<br /><br />Aim. Objective. And himmah (intention yang tinggi, semangat yang tinggi)<br /><br />Like a brother once said, "Benjo tak sesedap burger!"<br /><br />Kenapa? Sebab di dalam benjo, isinya hanyalah telur. Apa yang diperlukan untuk mendapat telur adalah dengan bertelurnya seekor ayam. Ayam tu tak syahid atau pengsan pun semasa bertelur. Tetapi lain pula dengan burger yang isinya daging. Memerlukan pengorbanan seekor kambing! Seekor kambing yang mati untuk memberikan kita burger dan hanya sebiji telur (tanpa apa-apa pengorbanan dari ayam) untuk memberi kita telur.<br /><br />Di dalam kerja kita, apa sahaja yang kita lakukan, we must try our very best!!! Cubalah sedaya upaya hingga habis tenaga upaya kita! Bekerjalah, belajarlah, berdakwahlah sepenuh tenaga, jiwa dan raga! Ikhlaskan hati tanpa mengharap apa-apa balasan dari orang lain melainkan hanya untuk mardhatillah, nescaya apa orang lain kata, apa orang lain buat, apa yang kita lalui akan kita harungi semuanya kerana Allah sahaja.<br /><br />Kerana kita punya aim. Dan aim kita itu memerlukan pengorbanan yang BESAR.<br /><br />"(Iaitu) kamu beriman kepada Allah dan RasulNya dan berjihad di jalan Allah dengan harta dan jiwamu. Itulah yang lebih baik bagi kamu jika kamu mengetahui."<br />"Nescaya Allah mengampuni dosa-dosamu dan memasukkan kamu ke dalam syurga yang mengalir sungai-sungai, dan ke tempat-tempat yang baik di dalam syurga 'Adn. Itulah kemenangan yang agung."<br /><br />Silalah refer As-Saff, 61:11-12<br /><br />Semoga yang ditulis ini dapat memberi peringatan bagi yang membaca dan juga yang menulisnya.<br /><br />Wallahu'alam.wayfarerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15903315607788270546noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4632736740779342883.post-8579829124444724072009-06-09T15:27:00.005+04:002009-06-09T17:56:38.765+04:00Di Ambang JihadSalam wrt,<br /><br />Aunt Swee Moi's funeral ceremony went smoothly, kata abangku. She was cremated katanya lagi. Semoga ayah di rumah dapat tabahkan hatinya. Tidak dapat kukirimkan apa2 kepadanya kecuali kalam-kalam Allah...<br /><br />Somehow, it might seem imperceptible to us... but I realized how with the smallest of things, or the biggest of things, Allah could make us happy if He wanted to. Like the rain (yes, I really love the rain).. Some people might say, "Oh, it's raining again.." and continue doing whatever it is they're doing but some might jump up and down with happiness and feel a sense of relief and hope. To me, rain is a sign that Allah is still here, right here beside us, caressing us with every drop of rain.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">"Allah-lah yang mengirimkan angin, lalu angin itu menggerakkan awan dan Allah membentangkannya di langit menurut yang Dia kehendaki, dan menjadikannya bergumpal-gumpal, lalu kau lihat hujan keluar dari celah-celahnya, maka apabila Dia menurunkannya kepada hamba-hambaNya yang Dia kehendaki ti</span><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);">ba-tiba mereka bergembira.."</span><br />Ar-Rum, 30:48<br /><br />Kita sering mabuk dengan kegembiraan dan asyik dalam kejayaan yang kita peroleh sampai kadang-kadang kita lupa semua kekuasaan, semua kekuatan yang kita ada bukanlah milik kita. "Strength is with none but Allah"! Every victory that we achieve, every paper that we score, every exam that we succeed with flying colours, it is all in the power of Allah. Dia berkuasa untuk menjayakan kita dan Dia juga berkuasa untuk menggagalkan kita.<br /><br />And because of our inevitable tendency to forget, Allah reminds us that with every victory we achieve, always remember to tasbih and istighfar.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-style: italic;">"Apabila telah datang pertolongan Allah dan kemenangan, dan engkau melihat manusia berbondong-bondong masuk agama Allah, maka bertasbihlah dengan memuji Tuhanmu dan mohonlah ampunan kepada-Nya. Sungguh, Dia Maha Penerima Taubat."</span><br />An-Nasr, 110:1-3<br /><br />Tetapi kenapa Allah nak beri kita kemenangan? Maybe it is a test from Him to see how grateful we are towards Him. Do we still remember Him after all the achievements and the success? Sedar tak sedar, setiap masa pun kita diuji, di kala sedih dan juga di kala kita gembira.<br /><br />And...<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 51, 204); font-style: italic;">"(Ingatlah), ketika kamu memohon pertolongan kepada Tuhanmu, lalu diperkenankan-Nya bagimu,"Sungguh Aku akan mendatangkan bala bantuan kepadamu dengan seribu malaikat yang datang berturut-turut."

Ramai mengatakan mukanya penyek, mukanya garang, bulu lebat macam karpet, suka baring2 dgn position yg kurg sopan, busuk sbb tk mndi, karpet habis dicakar-cakarnya, mcm2 lagilah..<br /><br />Tetapi walaupun org selalu mengatakan ttg dia, Bam bam inilah, Bam bam itulah... tetapi tetap ada org dtg menjenguknya... mungkin bagi mereka seekor kucing inilah pengubat hati mereka, menceriakan duka hati yang lara (chewah..!). Walaupun malas dan kadang-kadang tidak mahu melayan orang, tetapi keberadaannya dah cukup untuk menyejukkan hati. Cukup terharu juga bila dia bermiao dgn kuat sekali setiap pagi untuk mengejutkan org subuh... Jarang sekali mahu bermain, tetapi bila dia bermain, hati kita pula yang terasa riang... Suka pula pandang orang dengan mata besarnya dan muka kesiannya, sengaja mahu menagih simpati dan bermanja-manja.<br /><br />Terfikir pula aku mengapalah makhluk sebegini diciptakan?<br /><br />Isn't everything created in this world is for us humans? Ayam yang berkokok setiap pagi (kat Russia ni tak pernah pula jumpa, tapi teringatkan ayam di kampung), matahari yang bersinar di luar sana membuatkan org Russia yg depressed se depressed-depressednya pun happy, malam sebagai waktu rehat, org-org yg di sekeliling kita sebagai peneman hidup, pokok-pokok hijauan yg membekalkan O2 kpd kita dan mcm2 lg.. Allah itu kan sifatnya Al-Wahhab... memberi dan terus memberi.. tak pernah jemu memberi.. siang dan malam kita berdoa kepadaNya, tidak pula Dia jemu mendengarnya dan insyaAllah Dia akan kabulkan doa kita, Allah tak pernah pun memberi sesuatu yg tiada kegunaannya utk kita, memberi pula tanpa diminta... Rasa-rasanya, tak pernahlah pula kita minta seorang mak yang penyayang, baru Allah nak bagi, betul tak? Mak, sejak dari lahir sentiasa ada di sisi kita...<br /><br />Actually, every single thing in this universe-if we just stop and ponder about it-has its own role and use and everything is not created just for fun, or just because He wants it there, He puts it there. And He creates all these for us. Just for us. In hopes that we use them the best we can, for the good.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">"Dan jika kamu menghitung nikmat Allah, niscaya kamu tidak akan mampu menghitungnya.

Next week, kita jumpa lagi ya, Maianskii! (InsyaAllah).<br /><br />Maianskii ni mengingatkan aku kepada byk org... atuk aku especially. Teringat bagaimana atuk aku masih boleh tersenyum dan gelak ketawa bersama cucu-cucunya dan cicit-cicitnya tanpa kedua-dua belah kakinya. Masih boleh berbual dan menanyakan tentang pelajaran kami walaupun menahan kesakitan dan menelan ubat yang bermacam-macam colour setiap hari. Tak terlihat pun kesedihannya jika seorang cicitnya takut kepadanya kerana tidak mempunyai kaki yang sempurna. Atuk sudah lama meninggalkan kami - 7 years to be exact - terasa amat sunyi setiap kali aku menjejakkan kaki di 9th floor, flat 38, tanglin halt st. Semoga roh Atuk dicucuri rahmat olehNya...<br /><br />Maianskii pula tidak berputus asa dalam perjuangannya, walaupun diuji dgn dua kali stroke! Dia tetap datang ke kelas untuk mengajar murid-muridnya. Kalau ada sahaja yang tidak kami fahami, dia sentiasa bersedia utk terangkan semula.<br /><br />Minggu ini, Maianskii bg lecture ttg immunity, mainly about vaccination. But i'm more interested in immunity itself. I've drawn up this conclusion (merely hypothetical):<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">Daie = immune to rejections.</span><br /><br />Undoubtedly, we will face endless rejections or even worse; taunts, insults and whatnot. But what I've learned from my own mistakes and others' experiences (which are unmistakably, much more than what little adversity i've gone through) is that with every obstacle that we face, whether we are willing to or not, we certainly MUST develop our own immunity towards it. The rejections may keep on coming, obstacles will keep rolling down our way but all we have to do is have faith. Have faith that with each rejection and each obstacle we face, it is to strengthen us.<br /><br />Let us take an example from Prophet Nuh. His da'wah went on for 950 years but no matter what he did, his people still rejected him. To the point where they plugged their ears with their own fingers and covered their faces each time Nuh came to meet them (they were "that" disgusted of Nuh). But he never once gave up his da'wah in that 950 years of his life.<br /><br />Rasulullah himself was acquainted with plenty of rejections and not merely verbal ones, he was even beaten, thrown stones at, boycotted by his own beloved people. And with that too, he still continued his da'wah. I'm sure many of us know about Prophet Muhammad's journey to Taif, after he was badly beaten and taunted at, he rested under a tree. Adas (a helper in a farm) came up to him and gave him grapes. Before eating them, Rasulullah recited basmallah. Adas was surprised to hear him recite basmallah and said "Wallahi, that is not something usually said by the people around here." The Prophet then asked Adas,"Dear Adas, where are you from and what is your faith?" Adas said,"I am a Nazareth from Ninawai." Prophet Muhammad asked him again,"Do you come from the same place as Yunus bin Matta, the loyal servant of Allah?" "What do you know of Yunus bin Matta?", Adas asked. "He was a Prophet, as am I." And with that, spontaneously Adas hugged the Prophet and kissed his hands.<br /><br />How subtle and delicate the way Muhammad pbuh touched Adas, even after he received such great torment from the people of Taif.<br /><br />Such great strength and will. Muhammad pbuh was able to continue his dakwah in so many colourful ways.<br /><br />If it were to be compared with us, terasa betapa kecilnya pengorbanan kita untuk Ad-Deen ini! Betapa ringannya bantahan dan tohmahan yang kita terima berbanding Rasulullah SAW! Tetapi acap kali apabila ajakan kita ditolak, kita murung dan sedih tak berkesudahan.<br /><br />Always remember (a reminder to yours truly too) that with every rejection we face, shouldn't stop us from doing what we are doing. Bukan kita yang berkuasa untuk memberi hidayah kepada orang, kerja kita hanya mengajak... mengajak kembali kepada fitrah, mengajak kembali kepada Islam... the rest is all up to Him. Jika yang diajak itu tidak mahu menerima (setelah diajak dgn penuh sungguh-sungguh dan bercurah peluh keringat), yes, maybe we are entitled to feel a bit dejected tapi selepas itu kita harus bangun kembali, kita harus develop immunity towards rejection (atau apa2pun yang menjadi penghadang ketika kita berlari).<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">"Serulah (manusia) kepada jalan Tuhanmu dengan hikmah dan pengajaran yang baik, dan berdebatlah dengan mereka dengan cara yang baik. Sesungguhnya Tuhanmu, Dialah yang lebih mengetahui siapa yang sesat dari jalan-Nya dan Dialah yang lebih mengetahui siapa yang mendapat petunjuk."</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">An-Nahl, 16:125</span><br /><br />ps. sambil tulis, sambil terasa kat diri sendiri...

It's been a few tough weeks for me, and more tough weeks to come. But no matter what, perjalanan kehidupan mesti diteruskan sehinggalah dipanggil oleh Yang Maha Esa. Semoga setiap langkah yang kita ambil bukanlah sia-sia bahkan membawa kita lebih dekat kepadaNya, insyaAllah.<br /><br />Ingin aku ceritakan sebuah kisah yang berlaku dahulu.<br />Tetapi sebelum itu, aku ingin mengungkap semula firman Allah SWT,<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">"Teman-teman akrab pada hari itu saling bermusuhan satu sama lain, kecuali mereka yang bertaqwa." (Az-Zukhruf, 43:67)<br /><br /></span>Tersebutlah suatu kisah terdahulu terdapat seorang ni yang sgt kuat beribadah... Orang lain takkan kenalnya melainkan melalui ibadah yang dia lakukan. Jumpa je-tgh beribadah... Jumpe lagi-masih beribadah... Jumpe siang dan malam pun tekun beribadah. Namanya Al-Qis. Pada suatu hari, Al-Qis bertemu dengan Salamah (mungkin tidak tepat jika dikatakan bertemu dengannya, tetapi bertemu dengan suaranya) and for the first time, Al-Qis sangat kagum pada Salamah (suaranya). Salamah merupakan hamba seorang pemuda Quraisy. Pemuda Quraisy tersebut mengajak Al-Qis masuk ke rumahnya dan mendengar nyanyian Salamah.<br /><br />Mula-mulanya Al-Qis tak nak tetapi setelah dipujuk rayu oleh pemuda Quraisy itu, Al-Qis pun menerima. Tetapi Al-Qis berkata,"Janganlah kau letakkan aku di tempat yang aku boleh melihat wanita itu dan wanita itu juga melihat aku!"<br /><br />Al-Qis pun terus menikmati suara Salamah sehingga satu hari tuan Salamah menyuruh Al-Qis membawa Salamah ke rumahnya. Pada mulanya, Al-Qis tidak mahu tetapi lama-kelamaan, Al-Qis pun membawa Salamah ke rumahnya.<br /><br />Dan perasaan cinta mulalah berputik di antara mereka berdua sehingga seluruh penduduk Mekah mengetahui perihal mereka berdua.<br /><br />Sehinggalah suatu hari mereka hampir-hampir sahaja hendak bersentuhan, Al-Qis sempat menghalang dirinya sendiri. Al-Qis berkata,"Sesungguhnya, aku mendengar Allah berfirman: 'Teman-teman akrab pada hari itu saling bermusuhan satu sama lain, kecuali mereka yang bertaqwa.' <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">Aku tidak mahu persahabatan kita berubah menjadi permusuhan di akhirat nanti.</span>"<br /><br />Salamah pula berkata,"Adakah engkau kira bahawa Tuhanmu tidak akan menerima taubat kita apabila kita bertaubat kepadaNya?"<br /><br />"Benar, namun <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 102);">aku merasa tidak aman jika kematian itu datang kepadaku secara tiba-tiba.</span>"<br /><br />Al-Qis pun bangun berlinangan air matanya dan meninggalkan Salamah dan selama hidupnya tidak pernah berjumpa dengannya lagi.<br /><br />(Adapted from "Kisah-kisah Para Pencari Tuhan")<br /><br />Cinta merupakan fitrah manusia. Namun, adakah kita mahu cinta dunia atau cinta hakiki, cinta Allah? Ingatlah, segala cinta kita untuk manusia itu hanya merupakan satu cabang daripada cinta Allah yang Maha Besar.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rjxnTie5fhs/ScyIdFJIknI/AAAAAAAAAFc/nDnTNaFfBEg/s1600-h/cintaallah.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_rjxnTie5fhs/ScyIdFJIknI/AAAAAAAAAFc/nDnTNaFfBEg/s400/cintaallah.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317775293195784818" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(255, 102, 102); font-weight: bold;">"Aku cinta kepada siapa yang mengenal kami dengan kurnia-kurniaNya dan aku mencintai siapa yang mencintai kami dengan nikmat-nikmatNya.

memerhatikanmu,<br />Walau terkadang aku lalai <br />Untuk bertanyakan tentang hatimu.<br /><br />Lihat di sebelahmu, ukhti<br />Aku tahu aku punya kelemahan,<br />Terkadang aku juga sedih, marah, kecewa,<br />Bukankah itu semua fitrahku?<br />Tapi percayalah, <br />Aku juga mahu bersamamu<br />Memegang panji-panji jihad<br />Terus berlari ke arah Yang Satu<br />Janganlah dikau berpaling ke belakang dan menangisinya<br />Yakinlah semua yang telah terjadi<br />Adalah yang terbaik untuk kau dan aku.<br />Paculah kehadapan<br />Mungkin kita akan terjatuh bukan hanya sekali<br />Tetapi<br />Lihatlah di sebelahmu, ukhti<br />Akan sentiasa ada tangan untuk membantumu bangun kembali<br /><br />"Bersiap dan berbuatlah, jangan menunggu datangnya esok hari, kerana bisa jadi<br />engkau tidak bisa berbuat apa-apa di esok hari.<br />Kita memang harus menunggu putaran waktu itu, tetapi kita tidak boleh berhenti.<br />Kita harus terus berbuat dan terus melangkah, kerana kita memang tidak mengenal<br />kata "berhenti" dalam berjihad." <br />-Syed Qutb<br /><br />ps. luahan hati dek kerana beberapa peristiwa yang berlaku.<br /><br />maaf atas segala kesalahan.<br /><br

am not a PalestinianSalam wrt,<br /><br />Dear readers... This is a poem written by Gihad Ali. Perhaps the words sound familiar to you? It's the song sang and rapped by Outlandish, with fewer words. Gihad Ali is a Palestinian who is now living in Chicago. She wrote this poem during her teenage years... For the umpteenth time this week, terkena penangan lagi. I've wasted my teen years being cradled by fantasies, living in the bubble of my own world and yet someone at my own age and younger, even... can write something that moved me to tears. Yes, I know many have written endless accounts about Palestine. But this one moved me.<br /><br />Eye to Eye by Gihad Ali<br /> <br />Look into my eyes<br />And tell me what you see.<br />You don't see a damn thing,<br />'cause you can't possibly relate to me.<br /><br />You're blinded by our differences.<br />My life makes no sense to you.<br />I'm the persecuted Palestinian.<br />You're the American red, white and blue.<br /><br />Each day you wake in tranquility,<br />No fears to cross your eyes.<br />Each day I wake in gratitude,<br />Thanking God He let me rise.<br /><br />You worry about your education<br />And the bills you have to pay.<br />I worry about my vulnerable life<br />And if I'll survive another day.<br /><br />Your biggest fear is getting ticketed<br />As you cruise your Cadillac.<br />My fear is that the tank that just left<br />Will turn around and come back.<br /><br />American, do you realize,<br />That the taxes that you pay<br />Feed the forces that traumatize<br />My every living day?<br /><br />The bulldozers and the tanks,<br />The gases and the guns,<br />The bombs that fall outside my door,<br />All due to American funds.<br /><br />Yet do you know the truth<br />Of where your money goes?<br />Do you let your media deceive your mind?<br />Is this a truth that no one knows?<br /><br />You blame me for defending myself<br />Against the ways of Zionists.<br />I'm terrorized in my own land<br />And I'm the terrorist?<br /><br />You think you know all about terrorism<br />But you don't know it the way I do,<br />So let me define the term for you,<br />And teach you what you thought you knew.<br /><br />I've known terrorism for quite some time,<br />Fifty-five years and more.<br />It's the fruitless garden uprooted in my yard.<br />It's the bulldozer in front of my door.<br /><br />Terrorism breathes the air I breathe.<br />It's the checkpoint on my way to school.<br />It's the curfew that jails me in my own home,<br />And the penalties of breaking that curfew rule.<br /><br />Terrorism is the robbery of my land,<br />And the torture of my mother,<br />The imprisonment of my innocent father,<br />The bullet in my baby brother.<br /><br />So American, don't tell me you know about<br />The things I feel and see.<br />I'm terrorized in my own land<br />And the blame is put on me.<br /><br />But I will not rest, I shall never settle<br />For the injustice my people endure.<br />Palestine is our land and there we'll remain<br />Until the day our homeland is secure.<br /><br />And if that time shall never come,<br />Then we will never see a day of peace.<br />I will not be thrown from my own home,<br />Nor will my fight for justice cease.<br /><br />And if I am killed, it will be in Falasteen.<br />It's written on my every breath.<br />So in your own patriotic words,<br />Give me liberty or give me death.<br /><br />And another one, "I am not a Palestinian"<br /><br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XUWsmLXUSC0&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XUWsmLXUSC0&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>wayfarerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15903315607788270546noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4632736740779342883.post-22799969036457801962009-02-17T23:08:00.004+03:002009-02-17T23:13:22.251+03:00InvitationSalam wrt,<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_rjxnTie5fhs/SZsaLVSpXfI/AAAAAAAAAE8/9qi4pPD3JIE/s1600-h/hehe.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;
