Randomness

Salam..

I had a short conversation with Ummi one morning before going to lectures.

Saya : Ummi yakin tak kalau kita jaga diri dengan baik, kita akan dapat bakal suami yang baik jugak?

Ummi : Yakin! *dengan confidentnye.  

I don't know why this thing keeps worrying me these days. Perhaps, I'd been reading or listening too much nonsense things. You know, all those divorce and cheating thingy. Tiba-tiba rasa macam erk..takutnya nak kawin. Haha

Tapi kita sebagai orang Islam, mesti la kita yakin kan dengan perancangan Allah. Kalau kita tengok surah an-Nur, Allah cakap perempuan yang baik adalah untuk lelaki yang baik dan begitulah sebaliknya. Bagi saya, kalau kita bina rumah tangga berasaskan ajaran Islam yang sebenar, in syaa Allah akan selamat. Sebab tulah Islam mengutamakan agama seseorang wanita itu berbanding kecantikan, keturunan dan hartanya.

Sepanjang saya kat UK banyak la jugak program-program rohaniah yang saya join. Everytime pergi program camni selalu rasa amaze tengok peserta-peserta semua, baik muslimin ataupun muslimat. Umur lebih kurang sebaya je tapi pemikiran dorang jauh ke depan. They had always come out with brilliant ideas. Dari segi pergaulan, percakapan, gerak kerja semuanya memang mantap.

Bila tengok dorang ni maka timbullah persoalan kat atas tu. Layak ke saya dapat pasangan yang baik? Hmm.. orang cakap semuanya kena bermula dari diri kita sendiri. Cuba kita audit diri masing-masing. Solat sentiasa awal waktu ke? Al-quran baca hari-hari tak? Berapa kuat kita berusaha menolak nafsu dan perasaan sendiri untuk menjaga diri dengan sebaiknya? Ikhtilat dengan mereka yang berlainan jantina macam mana? Kalau benda ni pun tak lepas tak usahlah bermimpi nak dapat pasangan yang baik.

Tapi harus jaga niat asal kita jugak. Janganlah sebab nakkan pasangan yang baik, maka kita berubah ke arah kebaikan. Sepatutnya apa-apa sahaja kebaikan yang kita buat haruslah niat semata-mata kerana Allah. Bila kita sandarkan niat pada manusia senang aje nak terhenti separuh jalan sebab bila manusia tu pergi dari hidup kita, hilanglah semua usaha kita tapi jika kita sandarkan niat semata-mata kerana Allah pasti kita akan terus istiqamah kerana Allah itu sifatNya kekal. Dia akan sentiasa ada.

Memang kita tak dapat nak jangka bila jodoh kita akan sampai dan siapa orangnya. Tapi buat masa sekarang kita mampu untuk buat persediaan. Contohnya, belajar menguruskan diri dengan baik. Sekarang hidup single boleh la nak biar kain baju tak berlipat, bilik tak kemas tapi takkan la dah kahwin nanti nak teruskan macam tu. Nampak macam remeh, tapi kalau dari sekecil-kecil perkara pun kita gagal nak uruskan, macam mana pulak dengan perkara yang lagi besar.

Awkward pulak rasanya nak cakap pasal ni. Hehe.. The conclusion is everything actually begins from us. We are responsible for our future so we need to pave our own way. Bagaimana kita pada masa hadapan adalah bagaimana kita berusaha untuk membentuk diri kita pada hari ini. :)

Lessons in Life

There's time you feel like giving up on something

Brushing it off your mind

Coz holding to it will not make you any better

After they've made it clear to you

That hopes will always remain as hopes

Sometimes denial is fair enough

Coz you don't wanna feel

The same pain of yesterday

After those hard times you've been through

Of putting the broken pieces all back together

From the past that taught you a lot

The past that you don't wanna revisit

*Tiba tiba datang mood nak bersajak pulak. luls

Sushiiiii

Salam..

      This is gonna be the last update for my weekend activity. Hoping that the next weekend will be fully spent at home. ngeeeee.... So yesterday I went to Nouman Ali Khan's talk in Birmingham. I don't think I need to specify who he is. Who doesn't know Ustadh Nouman right.  Again this time, I had a chance to tadabbur surah Al-Kahfi. This surah holds so many important lessons for us Muslims on our attitudes and life choices. We could take a lot of ibrah from Al-Kahfi because the surah itself holds four different stories. Most importantly, those who familiarize themselves to read Al-Kahfi on every Friday will be protected from Dajjal. In syaa Allah. 

       Since this surah is about a story, people tend to question every single things inside it instead of seeing what Allah is trying to deliver through the surah. Let us take an example from the story of Musa and Khidir. Allah does not specify who Khidir is, whether he's a prophet or a companion etc but some people are eager to know his character. Knowing who Khidir is will not give any benefits to you, so why bother of asking more? It is the messages beneath the surah, not the character that matters.

Besides, it's a good idea to learn Arabic so you can get the most out of the Quran. Bila tadabbur ni, Ustadh Nouman go through satu-satu ayat. So apa yang nak disampaikan tu lagi terasa kat hati. Macam mana Allah memujuk, mengangkat darjat hamba-hambaNya yang benar-benar beriman kepadaNya. Alah.. macam kita tengok cerita Korea, kalau takde subtitle takdenye nak feeling2 habis kan. Samalah jugak dengan Quran. Yang penting kena faham. Barulah kita rasa seronok nak baca Quran kan?

Knowing the talk will be held in Birmingham, one thing came into my mind prior to the entrance fee was the sushiiii. Hehe.. I think that's the only halal sushi we can get in the UK. The price is affordable. If you choose a buffet style, of course you can eat as much as you want. Tapi jangan sampai xboleh jalan pulak lepas tu. Hehe.. So make sure you spare your tummy before hitting the restaurant. No tapau tapau k..

Seharian berdating ngan Hidayah. Hihi

I sent the pictures to my mom and my brothers were so curious to know how the sushi actually tastes like. Oh they haven't had sushi before. Kesian pulak. So I promised to bring them to get some sushi once I'm back to Malaysia this summer. Hopefully I'll make it :D

The talk finished off at 10.00 pm. We initially decided to go back to Bradford right after that but unfortunately there's no train operating at that hour onward. So we planned to stay at the mosque while waiting for the earliest train the next morning. Luckily since there were a lot of Malaysians at the talk, some of them offered us to stay at their home. Alhamdulillah.. walaupun tak pernah kenal tuan rumah tapi dorang sudi je ajak ktorang bermalam.

That's all for now. Assalamualaikum..
