You are never alone


Sometimes, when the world's not on your side,

You don't know where to run to,

You don't know where to hide.

You gaze, at the stars in the sky,

At the mountains so high.

Through the tears in your eyes.

Looking for a reason,

to replace what is gone.

Just remember, remember

That you are never alone.

You are never alone,

Just reach into your heart,

And Allah is always there.


You are never alone

Through sorrow and through grief

Through happiness and peace

You are never alone.

So now as you long for your past,

Prepare for your future,

But knowing nothing going to last.


You see this life is but a road,

A straight and narrow path,

To our final abode

.
So travel well O Muslim,

And Paradise will be your home,

And always remember.

That you are never alone.

You are never alone

Just reach into your heart,

And Allah is always there.


You are never alone (Allah is there),

Through sorrow and through grief,

Through happiness and peace,

You are never alone.

You are never alone

Just reach into your heart,

And Allah is always there.


You are never alone

Through sorrow and through grief,

Through happiness and peace,

You are never alone.

If only I can fly. But I'm not

If only I can
I will fly
surfing in the cloud
and touch the blue sky
I will go somewhere
a place where hectic have no place to go
where people grow up with no rush
they can smile every single way
for they know they are leading a non miserable life
not even a complicated one
so there is nobody ever mention about hustle and price



But I know
that such things will never happen
I have no wings to fly
never can turn to a swan
not even have much money to always be in a metal bird
and never make a sence of flying without wings
so things gonna be easy
just face the reality
I am a student
a student should be busy
and never try to run out of reality.

Bismillah


Ok sebab tajuk 'uskas' (usrah ringkas) hari ni Bismillah, jadi, ucapkan Bismillah sebelum kita bermula.

Hampir setiap hari menjalani usrah sudah rasa jatuh cinta kepada usrah walaupun bukanlah bergelar ahli tetap. Tapi pangkat atau kedudukan tidak penting, yang perlu ada keinginan untuk mendekati ilmu. Inilah yang saya dapat daripada usrah yang diikuti 2 jam sebelum ke Regent Mosque, London untuk satu majlis penting dalam kehidupan pada 26February lepas (anda mungkin tahu apa itu). Alhamdulillah kesempatan yang ada jangan dipersiakan.

OK dah. Mari baca 'uskas'.

Membaca Bismillah setiap kali melakukan sesuatu pekerjaan atau perbuatan sebenarnya memberi kebaikan yang sangat banyak.Allah sendiri memerintahkan para malaikat supaya mencatat pahala bagi umat manusia yang membaca Bismillah.

Seseorang yang membaca Bismillah sebanyak 21 kali ketika hendak tidur,akan aman daripada gangguan syaitan,kecurian,maut yang mendadak dan bala.Sementara pasangan yang membacanya ketika hendak berjimak,akan melahirkan anak yang soleh dan bagi ibu bapanya kebajikan sejumlah tarikan nafas anak itu.

Membaca 41 kali Bismillah ke telinga orang yang pengsan,insya Allah dia akan segera sedar.Membaca 313 kali Bismillah serta 100 kali selawat ke atas Nabi SAW pada waktu pagi hari Ahad sewaktu matahari terbit dengan menghadap kiblat,insyaAllah akan mendapat rezeki yang tidak terduga.

Bagi ibu bapa yang mempunyai anak yang bebal,eloklah dibaca Bismillah sebanyak 786 kali,kemudian ditiupkan pada air lalu diberi minum anak itu selama tujuh hari pada saat matahari terbit,insyaAllah lenyaplah kebebebalannya.Perkara yang sama juga dilakukan kepada adik-beradik,suami,isteri atau sesiapa yang dimaksudkan.

Sesiapa yang membaca 50 kali Bismillah di hadapan orang orang zalim,akan tunduk dan takutlah orang zalim itu.Bagi perempuan yang hamil,tulislah 61 kali kalimah Bismillah hingga akhirnya dengan huruf Arab di atas kertas putih lalu sisipkannya ke perut wanita itu,insya Allah hidup anak yang dikandung itu.

Mereka yang berniaga,bacalah 786 kali di hadapan dagangannya lalu dihembuskan selama tujuh hari.InsyaAllah dengan izin Allah akan majulah perniagaannya.

Tidur orang Islam

Ok. Usrah lagi. Tapi ini handout lama dah. Refresh balik sini.

ISLAM adalah agama syumul (menyeluruh),yang menggariskan pelbagai panduan kepada manusia agar hidup sentiasa tenang dan terhindar daripada kemudaratan.

Dalam apa juga tindakan,manusia disaran mematuhi perintah dan menjauhi larangan agama kerana ia mempunyai hikmah dan kelebihan tersendiri.

Begitu juga dengan tidur,walaupun perkara ini nampak remeh, namun hakikatnya Islam tetap menggariskan fungsi dan kaedah tidur yang sempurna.

Tidur sebagai satu kerehatan yang amat dititikberatkan oleh Islam bertujuan memastikan umatnya sentiasa sihat dan cergas.Insan yang sihat akan membentuk ummah bermutu kerana terhindar daripada sikap malas serta jumud.Tuntutan supaya mendapat kerehatan mencukupi melalui tidur diakui oleh Rasulullah saw.

Dalam hadis diriwayatkan telah berlaku satu kisah mengenai seorang sahabat Rasulullah saw iaitu Abu Darda yang tidak mahu tidur malam kerana ingin melakukan ibadat.Berikutan tindakan itu,salah seorang di kalangan sahabat Rasulullah saw yang lain iaitu Salman telah menegur Abu Darda.Kata Salman,"Tuhanmu ada hak ke atas kamu,badan kamu ada hak ke atas kamu dan isteri kamu ada hak ke atas kamu.Berikan kepada semua itu akan hak-haknya.Sebaik mendengar kata-kata Salman,baginda saw bersabda maksudnya, Benarlah Salman."
(Hadis riwayat Bukhari).

Jelas di sini,setiap insan perlu melaksanakan hak yang dipertanggungjawabkan kepadanya di antaranya hak badan yang memerlukan kerehatan melalui tidur.

Dalam hadis lain diriwayatkan bahawa baginda memasuki masjid dan ternampak seutas tali yang merentangi dua tiang.Selepas bertanya kepada ahli masjid, baginda diberitahu bahawa tali itu kepunyaan Zainab. Zainab menggunakan tali itu untuk berpaut ketika keletihan mengerjakan sembahyang.Lalu baginda bersabda,"Bukakan tali ini. Hendaklah salah seorang di antara kamu bersembahyang ketika dirinya cergas dan ketika sudah mengantuk hendaklah tidur"
(Hadis riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim).

Hadis ini menunjukkan Islam amat mementingkan mutu dalam setiap amalan yang dikerjakan.Jika seseorang beribadat dalam keletihan, nescaya dia tidak akan memperoleh khusyuk,sedangkan hubungan khusyuk dalam solat amat dituntut dalam Islam.

Baginda turut menegah umat daripada mengerjakan sembahyang dalam keletihan.Baginda saw bersabda maksudnya : Imam Bukhari dan Muslim meriwayatkan dari Aisyah bahawa Nabi bersabda: "Jika seorang di antara kamu berasa mengantuk,hendaklah kamu tidur sehingga hilang rasa mengantuk.Jika seseorang bersembahyang ketika mengantuk berkemungkinan dia membaca istighfar (memohon ampun) sedangkan sebenarnya dia sedang mencaci dirinya sendiri."

Kerehatan yang diperolehi melalui tidur berpatutan juga berfungsi untuk mengerjakan ibadat pada malam hari.Perkara ini dilakukan baginda sebagaimana diterangkan dalam kitab Misyhkatul Masabih.

Pengarang kitab itu menjelaskan bahawa tidur pada siang hari dan amalan itu bukanlah satu perbuatan keji.Hujjatul Islam,Imam al-Ghazali dalam kitab 'Ihya Ulumiddin berkata: "Hendaklah seseorang tidak meninggalkan tidur pada siang hari kerana ia membantu ibadat pada malam hari sebagaimana sahur membantu puasa pada siang hari. "

Sebaik-baiknya bangun sebelum gelincir matahari untuk solat Zuhur. Sesungguhnya tidur adalah ibadat yang diberikan pahala jika ia dikerjakan dengan mengikut suruhan agama.

CARA TIDUR YANG SEBAIK-BAIKNYA DIAMALKAN OLEH RASULULLAH S.A.W.
1) Tidurlah di awal malam sesudah menunaikan sembahyang Isyak jam 10.00 atau 11.00 dengan keadaan berwuduk.
2) Bangkitlah di awal separuh kedua malam jam 1.00 atau 2.00,kemudian bersugi, berwuduk dan bersembahyang tahajjud.
3) Kemudian tidurlah semula dan bangkitlah sebelum terbit fajar.
4) Tidurlah dengan mengiringkan badan di sebelah rusuk kanan,rusuk kiri di bahagian atas,supaya tetap kedudukan makanan di dalam usus, cepat hadam makanan.Tidurlah sedemikian dari mula hingga akhirnya.

WAKTU-WAKTU YANG TIDAK DIBENARKAN TIDUR
1) Awal-awal pagi setelah terbit matahari.
2) Selepas masuk waktu Asar.
3) Tidur di bawah cahaya matahari walaupun terkena separuh dari badan.

BAHAYA TIDUR DI SIANG HARI
Dilarang tidur di siang hari di dalam keadaan cuaca yang panas kerana:
1) Mendatangkan penyakit-penyakit kulit.
2) Merosakkan warna kulit.
3) Melemahkan jantung.
4) Menambahkan tekanan perasaan yang meluap.
5) Melemahkan badan dan melemahkan syahwat.
6) Melemahkan kecerdasaan akal.

CARA MENGHINDARKAN LESU SELEPAS BANGKIT DARI TIDUR
1) Bersihkan tubuh,terutamanya bahagian muka,tangan dan kaki sebelum masuk tidur.
2) Hindarkan dari tidur lewat malam.
3) Lakukan gerak badan dan senaman di atas katil setelah jaga dari tidur sebelum turun dari katil.
4) Minumlah segelas air masak setiap pagi sebelum bersarapan tetapi jangan selepas saja bangun dari tidur.
5) Cucilah muka terutama bahagian kelopak mata dengan air suam.
6) Ambil wuduk dan bersembahyang Subuh.

He is here and I'm so excited about that


He is MAHER ZAIN. He is now here, at London. And I'm so excited about that. Hope I can personally see him but it is quite impossible. I want to pray that I will accidentally see him when he goes for his musical shoot "Insya Allah" this Friday. And may be I can make a time this March 21, at Radical Middle Way's Muslim Youth Festival at Hounslow Civic Centre. I really want to nearly see and listen to him. Seeing is believing. Really excitedly 'anxious' about it that makes me smile all day long even in my sleep. Abang, please take me to Hounslow this March 21. Please suggest a way so I can see him in a short distance where he stand up in front of me. Please.

A friend of mine from Azerbaijan suggest me to go to this festival. Hope so too.
And really hope to see MAHER ZAIN there.

My sisters and their new friend need help

Tomorrow, both my twin sisters will be 'set on free' from PLKN. SPM result will be on release by tomorrow too. Both them undergo PLKN in the same camp at Kluang Johor.

Actually, only Ati had been chosen at first. She went and cried almost every seconds. Ika who was still at home (at the time) did the same. She cried when Ati called by phone, and cried when she was going to bed.Two weeks after Ati registered for the camp, the camp commandant called ayah asked him to send Ika too. Ati cried almost every seconds wanted her sisters to be together. Finally Ika was sent there too. Then for the first week they been together there, both of them still crying but the second week, things seem to be better. They started make friends with others. Before Ika had been sent there, Ati doesn't really wanted to make friends. Everyone that come to be friend with Ati, to persuade her to stop cry has been rejected. She wanted nobody else, but Ika. When Ika came to the same camp, they make friends, and realised many people actually want to be their friends. According to the camp commandant, 5 years of his experiences working in PLKN camp, Ati's case is the worst crying and homesick case ever!

Things happened due to some reason. Ati and Ika's case too. They never went to hostel or even camping that need them to stay away from family. Except for school they are almost 24 hours at home and only go out when with so-family-members (she never wanna follow auntie, uncle, cousin and so on). But back then, Ika is much more independent then Ati. Everything about Ati is Ika's responsibilities. From pocket money, washing and ironing school uniform and somewhen, Ika voluntarily did Ati's homework when Ati was sleepy and got to sleep. Only then a teacher realised the same hand writing and ask them to stop doing that! And everyone says, if Nobita needs Doraemon, then Noratiqah needs 'Doraeika'. That's how important Ika to Ati.

Now everyone keep wondering how they are going to be separate once they get offers to university (in case they don't get the same) and bigger thing, how they are going to be separate away from each other when they get married. It is impossible to share a husband or even share a house. They really need help.

Then when I called Ati and Ika last few weeks (PLKN trainers can use their handphone every weekend), they told me they have a new friend. They really love to be friend with that girl. A girl from Mersing, Johor. I forget to ask what is her name. But Ati and Ika's story dropped my tears. The girl is an ex SMKA Segamat student. She is first from 6 sisters and brothers. Her father works as a school gardener and her mum as a dishwasher in a factory's canteen. Unlike other same age friends, she has no handphone. Her parents have no car. That made impossible for them to visit the girl at the PLKN camp.

Just like Ati during her earlier days at the camp, the girl cries too (but I am pretty sure not as loud and childish as Ati do - due to her first child title - she must be stronger that Ati, the 7th child). She said she miss her sibling, her mum and dad. They can't come because they don't posses own car. And she can't always make a phone call to her family because there is no telephone at her home. She can call her neighbour, but she doesn't want to always disturb them. Sometimes, the girl miss her family too much and want to call them, but she had no money to do so. Ati and Ika always give her some coins to be use at the public phone on weekdays and somewhen during weekends, let her make a phone call to her family using Ati and Ika shared handphone.

One day Ati and Ika gave her a small pack of soy bean drink that mama brought when my family visited them at the camp the previous last weekend. The girl kept the pack in her locker. Ati asked her, why don't she just drink it? And the girl said, she wanted to keep it so when she turned home for Chinese New Year holiday, she can drink it with her sibling. Ati and Ika felt very impressed. They gave another 5 packs to that girl so that the girl can drinks together with all her 6 siblings.

The girl's story impressed me too. And I kept thinking in what way can I help her. So my sisters suggested me to give her some of my tudung labuh. She uses tudung labuh but she doesn't owns many. So I asked mama to pack my tudung labuh (still can be use) that I left at home. Hopefully tomorrow when ayah fetch Ati and Ika from the camp at Kluang ayah will bring along the tudung labuh and give them to the girl.

I got parkinson

Not that. It was just a small shivering activity. Might be due to salbutamol overdose last night. Don't get me wrong. I'm not a drug addict. It is a kind of drug that medicationally used to relief asthma attack in usually an inhaler (I choose free CFCs inhaler>save our ozone layer). I've go to a clinic at Westminster which then asked me to pay GBP45 (RM263.25) for a-not-so medical advice. The doctor (male) asked me again and again to open the niqab. And keep forcing me to open it until abang came into the threatment room, only then he stopped forcing me. What a not so clever medical practitioners he is. But I was successfully bear in mind, "don't do it whenever they ask you to do something related to your religion beliefs". So sad, when I hope for an effective medical advice, but got only a childish lesson from the doctor. He said "please ensure you use a free CFCs inhaler". Oh Mr Doc, I've been use that kinda thing for years. And finally it wasn't a salbutamol overdose that make me shivered, but it was the not so medical advice charge turned me to a parkinson young woman when I had to hand off the GBP45 to the clinic's staff. GBP45 = a week of kitchen thingy matter. Again, I'm a wife that keep finishing the husband's money.
