"A Muslim man can acquire no benefit after Islam greater than a Muslim wife who makes him happy when he looks at her, obeys him when he commands her, and protects him when he is away from her in herself and in his property."
[Reported by An Nasa'i]
It has been narrated by Zaid Ibn Arqam that the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam stated, "Oh Zaid! Be wedded, for your purity will be further increased."
It's been a while since I scribble my thoughts here. Even now I wish to write pages and pages of things that had happened in the past few months [the last entry I posted was in January] but don't think I'm able to do so just yet. [actually, I don't feel like doing it]
Well, had some fun doing this yesterday and I think I really have passion in it (photography). Hope to own one good DSLR in the future inshaALlah. ;)
[Special thanks to Azimah, Aisha, Azza, Aishah, Yana, and Nusantara Photography (Br. Ashraf, our instructor's studio) for this!]
Looking into the future, one thing for sure, life going to be so different soon. I'll be graduating in April then going to start work, pay the debt [pitipitipu!], and have some plan to travel the world too, inshaALlah. A lot of things to do while being young and able. They say; "Seize the day!"
Hmmm... Talking about life, anticipating that I'll be weeping a lot this week. Huhu. Went through hard times alone these days [proving to the world that I'm strong and independent but yet I think I fail] and now things getting harder and harder. Well, that's how we mature...
In Quran, there are many duas including this one that we can say during those hard times;
"Our Lord, grant us from Yourself mercy and prepare for us from our affair right guidance." [Al Kahfi; QS 3:10]
Amiin, thumma amiin. Hoping that through these ups and downs, He will always be close to my heart no matter what.
Alhamdulillah, had the chance to visit Morocco in mid January for the 5th International Youth Gathering (IYG) organized by Union of NGOs in Islamic World (UNIW) which has its base in Istanbul, Turkey.
Visited some very beautiful places [especially the beaches!] including Casablanca, Rabat, Marrakech, Tangier and Fes. I miss Morocco and all the warm and lovely people; Renata, Ouissal, Khaoula, Wafa, Sevde, Sumeyye, Iman, Hetice, Seyme. Hope they are doing good. Hope we can meet again in Turkey this coming July for the 6th IYG. And for my family here in Malaysia; including PPIWP, MRC 0809, JBDS, 5th IYG, may ALlah be with us and bless our lives with His Pleasure and Love. And may our ending be 'husnul khatimah' inshaALlah. Having you guys around get me stronger. And this one's for you, with love. :)
Softly you come to me Out from the space between Out from eternity Where love winds a path unseen Out of the wilderness You beckoned my every step I stumbled sometimes and yet I never once looked back Cause I would see The man I know I used to be How I was lost before you reached for me And I don’t know Where I would go What I would do
Without you
Eser bir yel dağilir sis Ne iz birakir ne bir giz Ine o derin , dipsiz O şefkatle affeden
Evvelim şimdim ahirim Benim sevgili sahibim Bir okula misafirim Mezuniyet bekleyen
So you might see Just what your love has meant to me And what the cost of losing you would be No I don’t know Where I would go or what I’d do
Without you
My heart won’t beat Without your love in me My eyes won’t see Beauty without thee Loves melody that you put in me Would lead me to only Silence without you
Cause I would see The man I know I used to be How I was lost before you reached for me And I don’t know Where I would go What I would do
Without you

Lembutmu tak bererti kau mudah dijual beli Kau mampu menyaingi lelaki dalam berbakti Lembut bukan hiasan bukan jua kebanggaan Tapi kau sayap kiri pada suami yang sejati
Disebalik bersih wajahmu disebalik tabir dirimu Ada rahsia agung tersembunyi dalam diri Itulah sekeping hati yang takut pada Ilahi Berpegang pada janji mengabdikan diri
Malumu mahkota yang tidak perlukan singgahsana Tapi ia berkuasa menjaga diri dan nama Tiada siapa yang akan boleh merampasnya Melainkan kau sendiri yang pergi menyerah diri
Ketegasanmu umpama benteng negara dan agama Dari dirobohkan dan jua dari dibinasakannya Wahai puteriku sayang kau bunga terpelihara Mahligai syurga itulah tempatnya
ALlahu'a'lam.
[Peringatan buat diri dan puteri-puteri di luar sana semuanya... Kita tunggak pembangunan ummah. Ayuh muhasabah di mana letak duduk lembut, malu dan ketegasan (maruah) kita dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. NastaghfiruLlah wa natubuilaik, Rabbana dzalamna, anfusana, wa illam taghfirlana, wa tarhamna la nakunanna minal khaasiriin... Rabbana, aatina fiddunya hasanah, wa fil aakhirati hasanah, wa qina 'azabannaar... Amiin, amiin ya Rabbal 'Alamiin.]
This life; it's hard, I know. Yes, I do. Didn't I tell you I'll always be here for you through it all inshaALlah. But I just want you to promise me one thing; NEVER SAY NEVER! [This is a secret; the Law of Attraction. It'll help you understand the way the thought and words work...]
[they're CUTE, huh?! ;)]
See I never thought that I could walk through fire. I never thought that I could take the burn. I never had the strength to take it higher, Until I reached the point of no return.
And there's just no turning back, When your hearts under attack, Gonna give everything I have, It's my destiny.
I will never say never! (I will fight) I will fight till forever! (make it right) Whenever you knock me down, I will not stay on the ground. Pick it up, Pick it up, Pick it up, Pick it up up up, And never say never.
I never thought I could feel this power. I never thought that I could feel this free. I'm strong enough to climb the highest tower. And I'm fast enough to run across the sea.
And there's just no turning back, When your hearts under attack, Gonna give everything I have, Cause this is my destiny.
I will never say never! (I will fight) I will fight till forever! (make it right) Whenever you knock me down, I will not stay on the ground. Pick it up, Pick it up, Pick it up, Pick it up, up, up, And never say never.
Here we go! Guess who?
I gotcha lil bro. I can handle him. Hold up, aight? I can handle him.
Now he's bigger than me, Taller than me. And he's older than me, And stronger than me. And his arms a little bit longer than me. But he ain't on a JB song with me! I be trying a chill They be trying to side with the thrill. No pun intended, was raised by the power of Will.
Like Luke with the force, when push comes to shove. Like Cobe with the 4th, ice water with blood.
I gotta be the best, and yes We're the flyest. Like David and Goliath, I conquered the giant. So now I got the world in my hand, I was born from two stars So the moon's where I land.
I will never say never! (I will fight) I will fight till forever! (make it right) Whenever you knock me down, I will not stay on the ground. Pick it up, Pick it up, Pick it up, Pick it up, up, up, And never say never.
I will never say never! (I will fight) I will fight till forever! (make it right) Whenever you knock me down, I will not stay on the ground. Pick it up, Pick it up, Pick it up, Pick it up, up, up, And never say never.

"O you who believe! Seek help with patient (perseverance) and Prayer: for Allah is with those who patiently persevere."
Thank You ALLAHU RAHMANURRAHIM! For You are the One who lighten my burden every time I was tested and for sending me my comrades, my colleagues, my dearest friends and for sending me you. Yes, you!
This one is for you who always be there for me through this journey called L.I.F.E.... [ALLAH bless you, dear! Yes, you!]
When you think that you are alone and your life is bleak and in misery, and everything seems so hard and unbearable; first remember that ALLAH is always there for you. Always! HE IS NEAR, remember?
And when you have no-one to turn to, when you could not find a shoulder to cry on; you know you have mine! I'm always here... With you, for you. [Till death do us part] InshaALlah.
***
Hold My Hand, Dear Friend!
I'm here for you!
Though we fight thousands of times.
Though it hurts badly every time.
Yet we knew that ALLAH met us together so we may complete each other.
Everyone of us is not perfect.
And being together; we perfect each other's life...
So, let me hold your hand, and please take my hand in return.
Walk with me so we will feel that there is still hope.
And surely; there is always hope to those who believe!
"LA TAHZAN, INNALLAHAMA'ANA"!
[We share the same bright sun, the same round moon, why don't we share the same LOVE??? Tell me why not... Life is shorter than most of us thought!]
Kakak tak pernah ucap sayang pada Ayah. Tapi Ayah tahukan Ayahlah yang banyak mempengaruhi peribadi Kakak, dari segi pemikiran, kejiwaan, sabar, tarbiyyah rohani. Ayah dan Mak idola Kakak selepas RasuluLlah SAW dan Saidatina Khadijah RA. Dan Kakak amat berbangga dan hargai setiapnya. Walaupun tak Kakak sebut-sebutkan tapi akhlaq kalian yang Kakak bawa dalam hidup Kakak terutamanya sebagai seorang wanita Islam. [Mak, Mak juga pendidik utama Kakak. Sungguh Mak. Sungguh! Cuma untuk entri kali ini, mahu sisipan ini yang khas untuk Ayah]
Ayah,
Ayah ajar Kakak makna bijaksana, hikmah, sabar dan yang ayah selalu pesankan; syukur dan taqwa. Kakak takkan pernah lupa. Takkan! Tak mampu pun ayah...
Sebak setiap kali renung wajah ayah (Ayah mesti tak perasan Kakak selalu renung wajah Ayah Mak dan setiap kali tu juga hati basah dengan air mata).Terserlah garis-garis tua di wajah kalian yang menyimpan seribu satu kisah suka duka harung hidup besarkan kami anak-anak yang pelbagai karenah; degilnya, manjanya, keras kepalanya, kurang sabarnya, panas barannya, memberontak, kaki merajuk,... Semuanya Ayah dan Mak telan dan luahkan pula pada kami dengan sabar dan penuh cinta.
Ayah,
Kakak tak pernah ingat Ayah gunakan kata-kata kasar pada anak-anak. Tak pernah. Untuk ungkapkan 'bodoh' di depan Ayah pun kami takut dan segan. Tutur kata Ayah selalunya tersusun, penuh hikmah dan kelembutan. Ayah sentiasa tenang. Kakak kagum dengan Ayah. Teramat sangat kagum. Ayah contoh terbaik buat kami anak-anak, isteri. [Juga harapkan seorang suami yang punya sifat seperti ayah; kebanggaan dan qudwah hasanah kepada anak-anak]
Ayah, tak pernah Ayah memperkecil kami semua anak-anak. Malah Ayahlah orang pertama yang menyokong kebaikan dan kesolehan kami walau sekecil mana sekalipun. Ayah didik kami dengan santun bicara, bersih peribadi, kasih sayang... Ya, Ayah dulu tak banyak masa dengan kami. Ayah kerja jauh di US, Filipina, tinggal kami bersama Mak seorang. [Kakak bangga dengan ketabahan Mak menjaga kami sebelas beradik tanpa Ayah di sisi dan didik kami jadi insan berakhlaq seperti hari ini... Terima kasih tak terhingga Mak!]
Ya ALlah, sekarang Ayah sudah semakin uzur. Kesihatan semakin tidak menentu. Beberapa hari lalu Ayah diserang serangan jantung. (Lama dulu pernah jantung Ayah pernah berhenti berdegup kalau tak silap cerita Ayah). Kakak risau sangat Yah. Risau... Doa dalam linangan mohon Ayah terus kuat hadapi hidup yang semakin hari semakin mencabar sabar dan taqwa.
Untuk adik-adik, Kakak pohon kalian berjiwa besar, seperti yang ayah selalu sebutkan (BIG HEART!) Bantulah Ayah dan Mak semampu boleh... Fikir dulu untuk setiap perbuatan dan kata-kata. Mereka semakin tua. Umur semakin singkat bukan... Ayuh tunjukkan kasih buat Ayah Mak tika masih punya kesempatan. Tunaikanlah walaupun sedikit payah. Sabarlah walau sakit menusuk. Balasan ALlah buat anak soleh telah termaktub adik-adik! Adik-adik Kakak semua baik-baik. Kakak bangga jadi kakak kalian. Sungguh. Didikan Mak Ayah pada kita, nampak beza akhlaq adik-adik banding anak-anak seumur. Alhamdulillah. Moga thabat ye adik-adik. Moga kita semua tak jauh dari Rahmah ALlah SWT...
Ayah, lagu ini khas untuk ayah....
Ayah...
Kakak takut untuk waktu itu... Dan Kakak tahu Kakak harus mula mempersiap diri dan adik-adik. Ayah tak pernah begini. Moga ALlah beri kesihatan, kekuatan, ketenangan dan kebahagiaan berpanjangan buat Ayah.
It takes a crane to build a crane It takes two floors to make a storie It takes an egg to make a hen It takes a hen to make an egg There is no end to what I'm saying
It takes a thought to make a word And it takes some words to make an action And it takes some work to make it work It takes some good to make it hurt It takes some bad for satisfaction
life is wonderful life goes for circle life is wonderful
It takes a night to make it done And it takes a day to make you yawn brother And it takes some old to make you young It takes some cold to know the sun It takes the one to have the other
And it takes no time to fall in love But it takes you years to know what love is And it takes some fears to make you trust It takes those tears to make it rust It takes the dust to have it polished
It takes some silence to make sound And it takes a lost before you found it And it takes a road to go nowhere It takes a toll to show you care It takes a hole to see a mountain
life is wonderful life goes for circle
life is wonderful life is meaningful
life is wonderful life is meaningful life is so full of love
life is wonderful life is meaningful
life is so full of love
~Jason Mraz, Life is Wonderful
[I really love the lyric; so deep and it touches my soul. Hope it touches yours too.And the music video--if you noticed; a brain and a heart. Sure meaningful! Enjoy it!]
Suami isteri inginkan keluarga yang bahagia Dan mengharapkan sebuah bahtera indah Untuk bersama belayar ke muara
Pernikahan, menginsafkan kita Perlunya iman dan takwa, meniti sabar dan redha Bila masa senang syukuri nikmat Tuhan Susah mendatang tempuhi dengan tabah
Isteri janji telah dipateri Diijab kabulkan dan dirahmati Detik pertemuan dan pernikahan Yang dihujani air mata kasih Demi syurga Ilahi
Suami jangan menagih setia Umpama Hajar dan setianya Zulaikha Terimalah seadanya yang terindah Di lubuk hatimu Isteri adalah amanah buatmu
Pernikahan mengajar tanggungjawab bersama suami dan isteri
Isteri hamparan dunia Suami langit penaungnya Isteri ladang tanaman Suamilah pemagarnya Isteri bagai kejora Suami menjadi purnama Tika isteri beri hempedu Suami tabah menelannya
Tika suami terteguk racun Isteri carilah penawarnya Sungguh isteri rusuk yang rapuh Berhati-hatilah meluruskannya

There's me, looking down at my shoes The one smiling like the sun, that's you What were you thinking? What was the song inside your head?
There's us, going on about a band Working out how we play our hands I lay there dreaming, later all alone in my bed If I were stupid, maybe careless So were you
Not everything is suppose to come true Some words are best unsaid Some love is not really love at all I'll keep everything we shared with you And that's enough There's Us
Freeze frame, I'm not about to cry It's to late for us to change, why try I've got a camera tucked away inside my heart If I'm a loser, or just unlucky, so are you
Not everything is suppose to come true Some words are best unsaid Some love is not really love at all I'll keep everything we shared with you And that's enough There's Us
Somewhere between then and now I looked away, when you said we'll never change And if you think what might have been You'll lose today, we got songs to play
Not everything is suppose to come true Some words are best unsaid Some love is not really love at all I'll keep everything we shared with you And that's enough And that's enough And that's enough There's us
Not everything is suppose to come true Some words are best unsaid Some love is not really love at all I'll keep everything we shared with you And that's enough There's us Not really love at all There's us Some love is not really Love at all There's us
Untuk kali keseratus lima puluh juta Mereka tanyakan engkau soalan yang sama “Eh kenapa kau masih lagi mahukan dia?” “Apa kau buta, apa kau pura-pura suka”
Di seratus lima puluh juta kali itu Di depan semua engkau tarik tangan aku Yang sedang buat muka kosong tak ambil tahu Sambil ketawa engkau bilang satu per satu
“Dia mungkin bengis seperti singa” “Tapi dia nangis tonton cerita Korea” “Dia mungkin keras bila bersuara” “Tapi dia jelas, jujur apa adanya”
“Aku lagi kenal dia”
Dah lebih seratus lima puluh juta kali Aku pesan padamu apa yang bakal jadi Engkau dan aku ada mungkin tidak serasi Engkau sangat manis, aku ini pula dawai besi
Di setiap seratus lima puluh jutanya Aku pun dalam hati semacam tak percaya Apa kau lihat pada aku jujurkan saja Terus kau cubit dagu aku, sambil berkata
“Sayang mungkin baran tak kira masa” “Tapi sayang tahan kalau yang salah saya” “Sayang mungkin saja keras kepala” “Tapi sayang manja bila kita berdua”
“Saya kenal sayang saya”
Buat apa dicerita Bahagia kita rasa Biar tak dipercaya Peduli orang kata
Baju ronyok tak apa Asal pakai selesa Berkilau tak bermakna Kalau hati tak ada
Aku lebih bengis dari sang naga Tapi bisa nangis semata demi cinta Suaraku keras tak berbahasa Kerna aku rimas gedik mengada-ngada
Aku mudah baran tidak semena Mana boleh tahan angin cemburu buta Dan aku sengaja tunjuk keras kepala Aku punya manja, kau saja boleh rasa
Rahsia kita berdua..
[aku suka lagu ini. jujur. ikhlas. s.e.n.y.u.m.:)]
Betapa Engkau Menyintai Agungkan Aku Bagai Seorang Puteri Selalu Kau Puja Diriku Ini Melayang Aku Tak Memijak Bumi
Namun Terkadang Ku Rasakan Apakah Sikapmu Tak Berlebihan Aku Wanita Tak Sempurna Bukan Sekilaunya Batu Permata
Marilah Bersama Jalani Cinta Kita Apa Adanya Saling Mengerti Dan Sudi Menerima Kita Manusia Biasa Marilah Menjaga Kesucian Cinta Rahmat Yang Kuasa Saling Berpadu Hati Untuk Berdua Dalam Dakapan Mesra
Nikmati Suka Berbagi Duka Seiring Denganmu Aku Bahagia Genggam Jemari Dan Berjanji Setia Selamanya Sampai Akhir Nanti
Lembutmu tak bererti kau mudah dijual beli
