Love is a leap of Faith.The 'supposedly' wedding speech...

The best of you...Are those who are best to their wives
- Prophet Muhammad S.A.W

Woman was created not from man's feet, Where she would be below him.. Nor from a man's head, where she would be above him.. Rather she was created from his rib which is next to him, to be equal to him.. Under his arm to be protected by him And next to his heart to be loved by him..

First and foremost,Alhamdulillah, I thank the almighty for making all these things possible. And I hope you two newlyweds...and all the other couples out there will never forget to thank Him for each moment you get to spend with your other half.
When you look at your loved ones...how beautiful/handsome they are,how amazing...or how perfect they seem to you. Imagine, He who created your other half and how He must be like...
I hope each day ..til death do you part,you will never forget to thank Him,for making it all possible in the first place.As without Him, Izham wouldnt be with Irina today,just as Eve wouldnt have been created for Adam.And just as Khadijah wouldnt have crossed path with Muhammad saw..

Love can be define in various ways. As to my 22 years of life,I've witnessed all kinds of love and even experienced some of them myself.And theres no doubt to the fact love needs sacrifice. A whole lot of 'em.

A mother may gather all the strength she can ,and dress up even if she can't hardly stand...just to make sure shes there for her the happiest day of her child's life,her wedding day.

A father who burnt the midnight oil to sow a curtain for his little girl's room,with the fabric of her favourite colour just to see a smile on the daughter's face when she returns after leaving home for months..

Siblings who never gave up faith searching for one another after 21years without news...Though hope is frail and chances are thin. They never give up with the belief that one day,the family will be complete..again.

Even a friend, who took the train from one end to the other to come to help for YOUR sister's wedding preparation, who only had few hours of sleep. Spending the night in house full of strangers she never met before.

The kind of love Abu Bakar As-Siddiq had for his bestmate,Muhammad s.a.w when he was stung repeatedly by snakes and refused to make even a slight movement..afraid of waking up the beloved prophet whos fast asleep,resting his head on Sayidina Abu Bakar's knee..

The crazy things people do,the un-thinkable things we do in the name of Love.

Loving someone,til your overlook all their weaknesses...all their flaws. That the hurt and pain they've caused you,it didn't matter...
Caring for another being soo much that you didn't care if you gt hurt,that you had to sacrifice, be self-less,putting others' need beyond your own..as long as that other person is happy,then you know you'll be alright.
Because they mean the world to you. Their existence is what makes yours,worthwhile.

But sometimes...just as the beautiful leaves of spring would leave the trees,and soon giving us ice cold,gloomy winter. Love also can be very...winter-ish.
Sometimes, you need to let go of the sun,and make way for rain...to find the rainbow in the end...

Its like having to save a sleeping loved one from a burning house.
Would you serenade him/her and say nice,beautiful things to make 'em wake up and leave the house to save their lives...
Or would you do anything..anything at all to save 'em?
Even if it means carrying them on your back..even if they weigh tons..
Even if it means hitting them,or kicking them on the sides to wake them up..
Even if you have to push them out of the window and cause them/yourself injury
just to save their life...

Sometimes people have to hurt you to protect you/save you...

And last but not least...Love is also about learning to let go...
Sometimes the younger sister have to learn to let her elder sis go and pursue marriage life..even if it means boring weekend and gossip-free/pillow talk-free nights...

Bro Izham and my beloved sister Irina..I hope your home would always be filled with love and blessings from the Big Guy.And I also hope you wouldnt be wasting your time bickiering and pulling face at one another because of silly misunderstandings...cause nobody can predict the future..and we'll never know when we might loose our loved ones.People only realize what they've got til its gone..And I wish both of you wont have to go through that..
Know that how lucky you are to be able to spend your days with eachother...To be waking up in eachother's arm..To see that smile on each others face..
and to know that you're never alone to face the world..

I wish that you bring out the best in one another...and look after each other..and guide one another to get the best reward of life and the hereafter...Hereafter..whe

re 'forever' actually means something..

And Izham a.k.a Optimus...I hope you'll never hurt her.Cause if you do...then you know Im not kidding bout the 3 samurai sword displayed in our living room..If you hurt her..you hurt me too
(not too mention the whole clan.And knowing our family..I know you wouldnt want to get on our dark side...lol)
And to Irina,my kakak or even sometimes my adik...I love you with all my heart.
You're my sister... therefore one part of me...
And NOBODY can ever change that.
I hope that both of you will live your life without regrets cause you truly deserve each other.

Someone once reminded me..
Take a risk.Dare to move.Love is a leap of faith.

A LEAP OF FAITH.

Salam wbt.
Selamat Pengantin Baru..

Positive Thinking

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Salam dear readers.

Today's theme: Islam = positive thinking

I was walking down the street with my housemate the other day when a flying bird decides to dispose its 'waste' on us.

Well, don't get too worked up about it.

Someone told me once, when bird ''poops' on you...just smile and be thankful that cows don't fly..

:-)

have a nice positive day~

Kecil Hati,Merajuk?Ukkhuwah fillah abadan abada?

Salam,

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Entry ini di 'kidnap' dari sini

Bila sahabat-sahabat berkongsi tazkirah tentang Jangan Kecil Hati Dengan Sahabat, terasa tersentuh juga. Sebabnya selalu/mudah juga hati ini mengalami fenomena 'makan hati'. Makan hati, kecil hati, merajuk, ialah biasa berlaku dalam berukhuwwah, dalam menjalinkan silaturrahim. Kerana silaturrahim yang murni, ukhuwwahfillah itu dibenci syaitan. Lalu dia akan sentiasa berusaha meniup 'rasa-rasa ' yang tak sepatutnya dirasai dalam bersahabat. Paling kerap mengalami gangguan emosi ini ialah perempuan. Bukan maknanya perempuan itu lemah, tapi emosi begini memberi kata lain, betapa halusnya jiwa seorang perempuan.

Namun, tersinggung jangan berpanjangan. Buanglah yang keruh, ambillah yang jernih. Jangan tertipu dengan pujukan syaitan yang sentiasa mahu mencari teman dineraka. Meskipun payah, berusahalah, agar hatimu akan kembali tenang. Kita takkan tenang selagi mana urusan ukhuwwah/hati ini belum selesai.

Adapun, antara perkara yang mungkin menjadi faktor ialah seperti :-

• Prasangka.
  

"Wahai orang-orang beriman, jauhilah kebanyakkan dari prasangka kerana sebahagian prasangka itu dosa" (49:12)

Bermakna disini, apa-apa sahaja yang kita tidak tahu, tak perlulah kita berprasangka dengan sahabat-sahabat kita. Kita pun tahu yang kita selalu tersalah tafsir, based pada experience kita yang banyak tu. Oleh itu, sebelum kita berprasangka yang pelik-pelik, mintalah penjelasan yang benar dari sahabat kita.

"Wahai orang-orang beriman, jika datang kepadamu orang-orang fasiq membawa berita maka periksalah dengan teliti agar kamu tidak menimpakan suatu musibah kepada kaum tanpa mengetahui keadaannya yang menyebabkan kamu menyesal atas perbuatanmu itu" (49:6)

Sesungguhnya, Tahap ukhuwwah yang paling rendah ialah berlapang dada, paling tinggi ialah ithar (melebihkan orang lain). Pasti ada sebab, mengapa perlu dinilai sifat berlapang dada baru dinilai itharnya. Belum dikira benar-benar ithar jika belum benar-benar ikhlas. Ikhlas datang dari kelapangan hati yang benar-benar dalam dari iman yang mendalam.

Sebelum berakhir, Biarlah perkara-perkara ideal ini menjadi titik ukur kita. Moga-moga diri menjadi lebih baik. Apapun, hubungan dengan Allah yang baik, menjamin hubungan yang baik sesama makhluk.

Wallahua'lam.

Temanku...

Izinkanku memimpinmu...memikul bahumu ke sana...

Tidakkah kau rasa persahabatan dan persaudaraan ini

hanyalah satu kerugian yang besar

jika ianya terhenti

saat antara kita menghembuskan nafas terakhir...

Sahabatku...

Dahulu kita pernah berjanji
Saatku jatuh, kau disana menyambutku,
Kini kau jatuh..jauh ke dalam..
Dan aku disini untuk menyambutmu
Tapi kau berpaling,
Kau sangka ku tidak lagi pedulikanmu,
Ku sudah tidak lagi fahami perasaanmu..

Namun tidakkah kau sedar
Kerana terlalu sayangkan dirimulah..aku begini
Aku tidak mahu persahabatan kita berhenti di dunia..
Tapi untuk selamanya..

Tidakkah kau sedar, tatkala Izrail datang menjemput
ku tidak lagi terdaya membantumu...

Wherever you are...Death will find you out

This is the tale of an average man,
Who acts contrary to Allah's plan,
If you are reflected herein,
Then repent and commit no sin.
It was early in the morning at four,
When death knocked upon a bedroom door,
"Who is there?" The sleeping one cried,
"I am izrael (the angel of Death), let me Inside".
At once the man began to shiver,
As one sweating in deadly fever,
He shouted to his sleeping wife,
"Don't let him take away my life",
"Please go away, O angel of Death,
Leave me alone, I'm not ready yet,
My family on me depend,
Give me a chance O please perpend !
The Angel knocked again and again,
"Friend, I'll take your life without a pain,
It is your soul that Allah require,
I come not with my own desire,
Bewildered the man began to cry,
"O' Angel, I'm so afraid to die,
I'll give you Gold, and be your slave,
Don't send me to the unlit grave."
"Let me in, O' friend ! the Angel said,
"Open the door get up from your bed,
If you do not allow me in,
I will walk through it like a Jinn"
The man held a Gun in his right hand,
Ready to defy the Angel's stand.
"I'll point my gun towards your head,
You dare come in I'll shoot you dead."
By now, the Angel was in the room,
Saying "O friend, prepare for your doom,
Foolish man, Angels never die !.
Put down you gun and do not sigh."
"Why are you afraid? Tell me O man,
To die according to Allah's plan ?
Come, smile to me! do not be grim,
Be happy to return to Him."
"O' Angel, I bow my head in shame,
I had no time to take Allah's name,
From morning to dusk, I made my wealth,
Never even caring for my health."
"Allah's commands, I never obeyed,
Nor five times a day, I ever prayed.
A Ramdan came and a Ramdan went,
But no time I had to repent."
"The hajj was already Farz on me,
But I would not part with my money,
All charities, I did ignore,
Taking Usury more and more."
"Sometimes I sipped my favourite wine,
With flirting women, I sat to dine,
O' Angel, I appeal to you,
Spare my life for a year or two."
The laws of Quran, I'll obey,
I'll begin to Salaat this very day,
My fast and hajj, I will complete,
And keep away from self-conceit."
"I will refrain from Usury,
And give all my wealth to Charity,
Wine and wenches I will detest,
Allah's oneness ! I will attest,
"We angels, do what Allah demands,
We cannot do against this demand.
DEATH is ordained for everyone,
Father, Mother, Daughter or Son."
"I'm afraid this moment is your last,
Now be reminded, more of your past,
I do understand your fears,
But its now too late for tears."
"You lived in this World two score or more,
Never did you, your people adore,
Your parents, you did not obey,
Hungry beggars you turned away."
"Your two ill-gotten female off-springs,
In night-clubs, for livelihood they sing,
Instead of making more Muslims,
You made your children non-Muslims."
"You ignored the Muazzin's Azaan,
Nor did you read the Holy Quran,
Breaking promises all your life,
Backbiting friends and causing strife.
"From hoarded goods, great profits you made,
And your poor workers you, underpaid,
Horses and Cards were your leisure,
Money making was your pleasure."
"You ate Vitamins, and grew more fat,
With the very sick you never sat,
A pint of blood, you never gave,
Which could a little baby save."
"O human, you have done enough wrong,
You bought good properties for a song,
When the farmers appealed to you,
You did not have mercy, it's true."
"Paradise for you? I cannot tell,
Undoubtedly you will dwell in Hell,
There is no time for you to repent,
I?ll take your soul, for which I'm sent."
The ending, however is very sad,
Eventually, the man became mad,
With a cry he jumped out of Bed,
And suddenly .. He fell down Dead!

If a prophet comes and pay us a visit...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim,

Assalammualaikum wbt.Peace be upon you ...

Today I'd like to share a poem I found while browsing through the web his morning..;-)

May it'll be beneficial to all of us,insyaallah.:-)

Poem taken form:



I Wonder...?


If prophet Muhammad visited you just for a day or two,
If he came unexpectedly I wonder what you would do.

Oh, I know you'd give your nicest room
To such an honoured guest,
And all the food you'd serve him would be the very best,

And you would keep assuring him,
Your glad to have him there,
That serving him in your home,
Is joy beyond compare.

But... when you saw him coming,

Would you meet him at the door,
With arms outstretched to your visitor?
Or... would you have to change your clothes before you let him in?
Or hide some magazines and put the Qur'an where they had been?

Would you still watch the same movies
On your T.V set?
Or would you switch it off
Before he got upset?

Would you turn off the radio
And hope he hadn't heard?
Or wish you hadn't uttered that last hasty word?

Would you hide all your worldly music,
And instead take hadith books out?
Could you let him walk right in,
Or would you have to rush about?

And I wonder if the prophet spent
A day or two with you,
Would you go right on doing,
The things you always do?

Would you go on saying,
The things you always say?
Would life for you continue,
As it does from day to day?

Would your family squabbles,
Keep up their usual pace,
And would you find it hard each meal
To say a table grace?

Would you keep up each and every prayer
Without putting on a frown?
And would you always jump up early
For prayer at dawn?

Would you sing the songs you always sing?
And read the books you read?
And let him know the things on which,
Your mind and spirit feed?

Would you take the prophet with you
Everywhere you plan to go?
Or, would you maybe change your plans,
Just for a day or so?

Would you be glad to have him meet
Your very closest friends?
Or, would you hope they stay away
Until his visit ends?

Would you be glad to have him stay
Forever on and on...
Or would you sigh with great relief
When he at last was gone?

It might be interesting to know,
The things that you would do...
If prophet Muhammad, in person,
Came to spend some time with you.
