An-Nur: 25-26

Praise be to my Lord, The Most Powerful The Most Understanding...

Today, I have a dream. And this time I decided to share it here... In my dream, I was walking and laughing happily with my friends. While we were laughing with lots of joy, I saw something written on the wall next beside the place we were having some rest. Suddenly I felt something weird when I realize that it was only me who noticed about it. I pushed my friends away from my side so that I can see what is written there. It wrote 25-26: An-Noor. I quickly tried to find my blue Quran but sadly to say, it’s not there…

Suddenly I woke up - feeling so weird. I asked myself again and again what EXACTLY the dream is all about. I went to my classmate’s room and told her about my dream. I borrowed her Quran, searched for the verses and this is what I found.

“That Day, Allah will pay them in full their deserved recompense, and they will know that it is Allah who is the perfect in justice. Evil women are for evil men, and evil men are for evil women. And good women are for good men, and good men are for good women. Those [good people] are declared innocent of what the slanderers say. For them is forgiveness and noble provision.”

O Allah… You’ve been so kind to me. You never let me face this life alone. I realize that You are always there for me. Thanks for reminding me, Allah… Please guide my steps and don’t ever let me go astray.

Lastly, You know everything…

Smile is better...

In the name of Allah, The Compassionate, The Merciful
Peace and blessings be upon our Master Muhammad SAW, his pure family and all his noble companions.

Prophet Muhammad SAW said, "Smiling in the face of your brother is charity (Sadaqa)"

SMILE is about something beautiful in life. Smile gives you strength and honours. Most people believe that smiling can change the world. Hey! I believe that too. You see, a smile can attract good things to you. It can make someone sick feel at peace. It can help someone get to know you better. A smile can lift your spirits and the spirits of those people around you. It can show someone that you care. It can be a guiding light in the face of darkness. It also can make someone laugh. A smile can touch another person’s soul. It can change someone’s day. A smile can brighten a room. It can open doors. It can make someone feel safe. It can show love when there wasn’t even a trace just moments before.

So why do we save our smiles when our Ideal (SAW) used to smile the most? We see that people who are religious tend to have serious faces, they hardly smile. Let us change this concept. Islam does not stop us from smiling in fact it encourages. It gives us reasons to smile. So beautify your faces with a smile because the easiest way to make other people smile is to be kind, courteous, and SMILE CONSTANTLY! We already heard that action speaks louder than word, and a smile to others says, “I like you. You make me happy and I am glad to see you.” No wonder a smile can change the world.

I notice every time I go out people don’t smile as often as they used to. Everyone is rushing around, getting busy with their own life without thinking about others and thought that their way is enough to guarantee them a happy and meaningful life. Well, sadly to say that they are COMPLETELY WRONG…!!! Why? Hey!! It’s obvious..! HUMAN BEINGS CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT SMILE…!!! Why not..? Smiling can change your mood! Next time you are feeling down, try putting on a smile. There’s a good chance your mood will change for the better. Believe it or not… just believe it. :D Smile also helps you to relieve stress, boost your immune system to work better, lower your blood pressure and also makes you attractive. And hey! There’s a bonus… Smiling lift the face and makes you look younger too…

Lastly, remember that sometimes your joy is the source of your smile and sometimes your smile is the source of your joy. And never do regret something that once makes you smile. Smile always!!

O Allah, forgive us, forgive our sins we have done, please… You are the best and You know everything…

He loves me!!!

Praise be to my Lord, The Most Wonderful.

These days, I really feel disappointed. Feeling sad, frustrated, depressing, gloomy and everything worse I can ever thought. At first, I thought I’m just not feeling well. But something started to make me feel kind of weird when I began to cry without knowing why! I started to find the problem that makes me feel like this. Then I asked myself, is it because of my brother Shafiq is moving to another school? Hmm, maybe because of that… But deeply into my heart, I noticed that that is NOT the main problem. Then I peeked deeper into my heart, what’s the thing that is not going right? Alhamdulillah… With Allah’s help, I found the reason. It is being such a long time when I didn’t ‘walk’ on this earth and praise Him for the beauty of the world.

I started to go out of my room, walked on the roads, touched the flowers to my nose, hugged the trees, gazed at the sky, pondered the white clouds, the morning light, the food He gave me, swam the pool, and do everything that brought me back closer to nature. Yes! I had successfully found the reason. Allah, You like beauty. So no wonder why You make this world so beautiful, so interesting…


Then I realized that there is someone who really cares about what I feel, and He hears my every cry. His arms are reaching out to me, and MashaALLAH… on Him I can rely everything. When things close in around me, He sees my fear and doubt. He wants to hold me in His arms, and He will never cast me out. When I lose hope and stumbling through the darkness, He will be my guiding light and never will let me go astray. He wants to wipe away my tears so I’ll feel like being a precious lady. Well of course, He is my very love one, Allah. My Lord, it is true what people always told me... You are EVERYTHING!!!

Dear readers, lets together reach out right now to Allah, and let Him take complete control of you. We’ll realize that we have nothing to worry much cuz He’ll take that heavy burden. Let Him take you in His loving arms. Subhanallah, His love will never end. In the HADITH we are informed that if we WALK towards ALLAH, HE will run unto us! O Allah, thanks for being so kind to me, to my parents, to my brothers and sisters, to my friends, and to everybody I've known. Please Allah, bless us all...

Allah, You are the Most Understanding…

Kepada kakakku yang amat dicintai, Safiah @ Kak Safi, Thanks for the ‘sms’ you sent to me before. Kandungannya betul2 memberi kesedaran kepada hati yang agak keras ni. “Pilihan parents sebenarnya untuk kebaikan anak-anaknya. Dan DISITULAH TERSELIT KEREDHAAN, inshaAllah…” Yes, orang akan cuba ingat kata2 tu. Sangat bermakna dalam hidup insan seluruhnya.

Adikku Shafiq yang sangat disayangi, yakinlah… Apa yang Umi & Abah nak untuk kita sebenarnya untuk kesenangan kita pada masa depan. Oh ya, Buat PMR elok2 ok? Kalahkan Incah. Ha3…

Ciwan, jadi anak & abang yang soleh tau! Ciwan lah yang paling besar ada kat rumah. Kitorang yang lain semua belajar jauh2. Ciwan jangan nangis tau! Huhu… Love you always…

Mizah yg jelita, thanks cuz selalu layan org dengan baik. Jangan risau... walaupun kita berjauhan, Mizah tetap ku ingat di hati.

Ahmad, I'm sorry... Basyirah tak sempat nak sambut birthday Ahmad sama2. Tapi tak apa, Basyirah tetap akan sambut kat kolej nanti, inshaAllah... I love you always cuz you are my handsome prince forever and ever...

Kepada sahibah2 seperjuangan ana, jom kita sama2 cuba teruskan usaha kita. InshaAllah… Life is not telling about falling down, but it’s about standing up after the fall. So, jangan risau… Kalau terjatuh, kita still ada peluang untuk bangun as long as we live… And He’ll accept us always! Dia Maha Pengampun dan sangat memahami hamba2-Nya.

Adik2 MATRI yang sangat ana cintai & kasihi. K/Basyirah minta maaf kalau kecewakan adik2. Tapi, Allah takdirkan khassah bukan untuk K/Basyirah. Jangan risau, adik2 still boleh teruskan hidup adik2 dengan tenang tanpa K/Basyirah. Adik2 nak selesaikan masalah adik2, dan adik2 nak berubah. So, inshaAllah adik2 boleh. K/Basyirah yakin, dalam diri adik2 ada kelebihan yang sangat tinggi nilainya. Kelebihan tu lah yang boleh bawa adik2 dekat dengan perubahan kepada yang lebih baik. Believe me.. You all can do it!! Mungkin dah sampai masanya korang belajar berdikari. Huhuhu… 1 hari nanti, bila K/Basyirah jumpa adik2, K/Basyirah yakin adik2 akan buat K/Basyirah tersenyum cuz adik2 akan jadi insan2 yang SANGAT HEBAT! Biar orang lain terkejut. K/Basyirah yakin adik2 K/Basyirah boleh… InshaAllah…

Dan kepada sesiapa yang selalu ingat ana dalam doa, thanks sangat2.. Ana hargai semua tu. I'll always remember your kindness. Teruskan doa untuk ana ya!! Jaga diri... Semoga Allah memberi kekuatan dalam hidup dan menghadiahkan keredhaan-Nya untuk kita. Allah, berikanlah mereka kebaikan lebih daripada apa yang mereka mahukan untuk aku.

Lastly, Allah knows everything~~~

Dia Maha Pengampun

Tak ada manusia yang tidak berdosa, sebab manusia selalu dihinggapi dosa. Dan manusia yang baik bukanlah manusia yang tanpa dosa, tetapi manusia yang apabila dia melakukan dosa, dia menyedari kesalahannya dan bertaubat kepada Allah.

"Kemudian, sesungguhnya Tuhanmu (mengampuni) bagi orang-orang yang mengerjakan kesalahan karena kejahilannya, kemudian mereka bertaubat setelah itu, dan memperbaiki ( dirinya) sesungguhnya Tuhanmu sesudah itu Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang." (Surah An-Nahl: 119)

Dalam sebuah hadis: “Sesungguhnya, tatkala hamba yang bermaksiat menadahkan kedua belah tangannya ke langit, lalu berkata, “Ya Tuhanku.” Maka malaikat akan menutupi suaranya. Kemudian, hamba itu mengulanginya lagi, “Ya Tuhanku”, Malaikat pun menutupi suaranya lagi. Hamba itu lalu mengulanginya lagi “Ya Tuhanku” Malaikat pun menutupi suaranya sekali lagi. Kemudian ketika hamba Allah itu mengulanginya untuk kali keempat, “Ya Tuhanku.” Maka Allah berfirman, “Sampai bila engkau akan terus menutupi suara hamba-Ku ini? Aku memenuhi panggilanmu, wahai hambaKu; Aku memenuhi panggilanmu, wahai hambaKu; Aku memenuhi panggilanmu, wahai hambaKu; Aku memenuhi panggilanmu, wahai hambaKu.” (Petikan dari buku ‘Jangan Takut! Allah Maha Pengampun’ penulisan Amr Khaled)

Ya Allah, kami lemah tanpa kehadiranMu dalam sanubari. Bukan Engkau yang menjauhkan diri dari kami, tetapi kami yang menjauhkan diri dariMu. Kami mohon, benar-benar berharap… janganlah Engkau biarkan kami walau sekelip mata kerana kami alpa tanpa bimbinganMu, leka tanpa pimpinanMu, terkandas di pertengahan jalan tanpa cinta dan kasihMu.

Ya Allah, ampunilah dosa-dosa kami yang meruntuhkan perlindungan kepada diri kami, ampunilah dosa-dosa kami yang mendatangkan bencana kepada diri kami, ampunilah dosa-dosa kami yang merosakkan nikmat yang Kau anugerahkan kepada kami, ampunilah dosa-dosa kami yang merintangi doa-doa kami, ampunilah dosa-dosa kami yang menurunkan bencana buat diri kami. Ya Allah, ampunilah segala dosa yang telah kami lakukan dan segala kejahatan yang telah kami kerjakan.

When they laughed at me...

This happened yesterday, when I told them why I wanna study in khassah. I just continue and continue till the time when they asked me what is my mission in khassah till I’m willing to sacrifice my dream to study journalism. Well there are already KLMU and KUIS for me to catch my dream, but I decided to leave it for a while and go to khassah first. So I say, I wanna run for my mission before anything else. Cuz for me, my mission is thousands of times more important than my dream. Then, THEY LAUGHED AT ME!!!

Know what? That really, really hurts me. Well of course, I can forgive them for laughing at me. But hey…. I will never forget how they just laughed at me as if I was telling them a funny story. I WILL NEVER FORGET IT TILL I DIE. Hey, don’t you remember… ‘to err is human’. Yes, everybody makes mistake but do remember that everybody CAN change.

“God Himself does not propose to judge man until the end of his day, so why should the humans do that?” Dr. Johnson (Psychologist of United State) Taken from a book, ‘How to Win Friends and Influence People’ by Dale Carnegie.

Allah, I know You are there for me. You know, if not because of Your help, I’ve give up right now. Allah, I need Your help….. Please show me a way, where I suppose to go and what I suppose to do. Please Allah, help me.

You’ve left us in The Quran, Al-Anbiya’: 83-84 [And when Ayob cried to his Lord, “Verily, distress has seized me, and You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy.” So We answered his call, and We removed the distress that was on him….. ] So Allah, You’ll help me too right?

To my sister, Kak Syafiyah Adzhar… You know I love you so much. You helped me and understand me a lot. Thanks… You are really my forever sister.

To Kak Maisarah Azmi and Kak Mazniha Berahim, thank you for your advice. Don’t worry, sis… I’ll remember it always, inshaAllah…

To my friends, Iffah Hanna, Imtisal, Afiqah, Basyirah, Syahirah, Iman, Naiemah, Fatinah, Fatimah, Aisyah and others… thanks for always understanding me when I have nobody. You’ve gave me some strength to be more confident for studying in khassah. Thank you… Hey you guys, try don’t stop supporting me in my life, okay? Cuz I need all of you. I love you all lillah, inshaAllah… Hope we’ll be friends forever. Ameen…

Don't give up...

Praise be to my Lord... The Most Understanding, The Most Wonderful...

This post is dedicated to everyone especially me.

In this world that surrounds us, we sometimes brake down and fall. We try to fight in this world that always seems to fight us back. We’ll hide away in corners and put upon ourselves pain. We have to know this: There’s no escape from this life cuz we all must face something that suffer. Although we may struggle… then, we fall and fall, Allah will stand by our side and He’ll stay with us through those damn difficult moments. He is your shoulder to cry on and He’ll ALWAYS be around you.

Do remember that no ones perfect and everybody will have to face something hard. But anything can be done with a little faith and hope, right? Hey… I can promise that it WILL get better. Just stop giving up your life. Continue your life doing the best you can do. Allah will help you. Believe it…

You are stronger than you think, so remember to stand tall. Do note that every challenge in your life helps you to grow. Every problem you encounter strengthens your mind and your soul. Every trouble you overcome increases your understanding of life. When all your troubles weigh heavily on your shoulders, remember that beneath the burden you can stand tall, because you are never given more than you can handle... and you are stronger than you think

“Believe in Allah and Rasulullah, and you strive hard and fight for Allah with your wealth and lives, that is better for you if you know.”The Quran (As-Saff: 11)

For we all suffer sometimes in our lives. Some of us suffer loss, others from the feeling of being different. There are so many things that bring us down. Some sit in their rooms and just cry and pray for a better life, some of us can’t handle things and reach for the knife. Whatever makes you depressed, no matter how down you feel, how close to giving up you get, don’t!!!

Hold on, be strong, there is always someone out there who cares for you. Life has it’s up and downs, and one day, it’ll look up for you too. If you need someone to turn to, Allah is there all the time :D.

O Allah, do help us to face this life. You are the best….

Du'a

In The Name of Allah, The Most Gracious The Most Merciful. He is the one who never ever forget to guide the humans in their lives though they always forget to be with Him (obey His order).

With His love, He sent us something as the guidance for His slaves and that is the du’a. Du’a is something very important in the muslims life. Why not? Du’a is the weapon for us. And it is the bond of the relationship between the Lord and His servants. So, it is absolutely not good if we stop praying to Allah. If we stop praying, we’ll lose Allah’s blessing. So, let’s raise our hands and du’a to the end.

And your Lord said: “Invoke Me, (i.e. believe in My Oneness (and ask Me for anything) I will respond to your (invocation), Verily, those who scorn My Worship, they will surely live n hell in humiliation!” (The Quran: Ghafir: 60)

Praise be to our Lord…

There is no such thing of simple life. Everything in life is tough and NOBODY will face it successfully EXCEPT those who believe (mukminun). Cuz the believers always bring their faith no matter where they are. Those who have faith means they have connection with Allah so they’ll refer (du’a) everything to the Al-Mighty in everything they are facing. But know what?? Absolutely Allah loves the mukmins who pray for their selves AND the others than those who pray only for themselves. So, besides praying for ourselves, why not we pray for others? The key to get du’as from many people and many angels is from making du’a for other muslims.

Whenever you make a du’a for other muslims without their knowledge, the angel will say ‘and the same to you.’

“The du’a that Allah answered faster is the one that made by one muslim for another in his absence.”(Abu Dawud & Tarmizi)

But do remember this...

The Prophet (saws) has said in a Hadith narrated by Abu Hurayrah: Make Du’a and be assured of being answered, and know that Allah does not answer a Du’a from a careless heart, which is not concentrating.

And Allah knows everything…

Oh Allah...

"A strong woman is the one who fells deeply, and loves fiercely. Her tears flow just as abundantly as her smile. A strong woman is both soft and powerful, she is both practical and spiritual. A strong woman in her essence is gift to the whole world"
(From FAQ site)

Praise be to You, Allah…

O Allah... I really wanted to be strong. But Allah.. I cannot be as powerful as I wanted without Your help. Without You, I have nothing cuz You are EVERYTHING. Please Allah, I need Your help.

O Allah... If I cry, please let me cry for You. If I smile, please let me smile for You. If I'm happy, please let me be happy for You. If I am disappointed, please let me be it with You.

O Allah... I'm begging You. No matter what, please do not let me stop helping others. Well, You just let me know that the key to be happy is by helping people. And yes, it is. So please, don't ever let me stop lending my hands for others. I wanted to be a strong lady so I really do hope You'll let me. Please Allah...

Allah.... for the clouds You've gave us, for the stars You've lend to us, for the wealth You've bestowed on us, for the life You’ve conferred for us, for the enjoyable You’ve passed on us, for the breath You've handed over us, for the night sky You've decorated it to make us smile again, for the people You’ve let us know no matter who they are, for the love You’ve overflowed to take place as Your guidance, for everything You’ve gave us ‘til we couldn’t tell, thanks for all of it.

Allah knows best

Allah knows what's best for us
So why should we complain?
We always want the sunshine
But He knows there must be rain
We always want the laughter
And the merriment of cheer
But our hearts loose their tenderness
If we never shed a tear
Allah tests us often
With suffering and with sorrow
He tests us not to punish us
But to help us meet tomorrow
For growing trees are strengthened
If they withstand the storm
And the sharpness of the chisel
Gives the marble grace and form
Allah tests us often
And for every bit of pain
Provided we are patient
Is followed by rich grain
So whenever we are down
And everything is going wrong
It is just Allah's way
To make our spirit strong

I just wanna share this poem with everybody who lose hope in their life. Well maybe, including me. Come on, just believe this.... What happened to us is just for our goodness. Of course, it is not what we call life if there is no test. So, learn to be strong to face it.

Do people think that they will be left because they say: "We believe (in Allah)," and will not be tested? (The Quran, Al- 'Ankaboot: 2)

You see, everybody in this world will be tested and of course the muslims will be tested the most. Having those damn tribulation doesn't mean that Allah didn't love us but that is one of the prove that shows He cares about us.

Things aren’t always as they seem. Ummu Musa was told to throw her son in the river, Prophet Yusuf was left for dead in a well, Maryam delivered a child alone, Aishah was accused of a terrible sin, Prophet Yunus was swallowed by a whale, Prophet Ibrahim was thrown in the fire, Prophet Muhammad SAW lost the love of his life Khadijah, and Ummu Salamah thought no one could be better than Abu Salamah. (Peace be upon them all). Yet look at how it turned out for them in the end... So don’t worry, Allah has a plan for you. Just put your trust in Him so you'll be ok. Insha-Allah...

Lastly, Allah knows everything.

Who He loves?

I read something beautiful on an Islamic Q & A site last night, somebody asked how do we know when Allah loves us and is pleased with us, what are the signs? Obviously it caught my attention and I went on reading, it is great to know there are some signs that we can look for to know if Allah is pleased with us or not. So, I am going to share it with you here in my blog. Actually, this is the straight answer from the Islamic Q & A site. I just hope we together will read it and take it to our life. Insha-Allah…

Praise be to Allah.

Among the signs that the Lord is pleased with His servant is that He guides him to do good deeds and avoid haram things. This is proved by the words of Allah:

“While as for those who accept guidance, He increases their guidance and bestows on them their piety” [Muhammad: 17]

“As for those who strive hard in Us (Our Cause), We will surely guide them to Our paths (i.e. Allah’s religion — Islamic Monotheism)” [al-‘Ankaboot: 69]

But if a person is hindered from doing good deeds and avoiding haram things, then that is a sign that Allah is not pleased with him. Allah has also explained in His Book that the sign of His being pleased with His slave and of His guidance is that He opens his heart to true guidance and true faith.

And the sign of misguidance and being far from the Straight Path is distress and constriction in the heart. Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):

“And whomsoever Allah wills to guide, He opens his heart to Islam; and whomsoever He wills to send astray, He makes his heart closed and constricted, as if he is climbing up to the sky. Thus Allah puts the wrath on those who believe not” [al-An’ am: 125]

Ibn 'Abbas said, commenting on this verse: “And whomsoever Allah wills to guide…” He opens his heart to tawheed and belief therein.Tafseer Ibn Katheer, 2/175

Another sign of Allah’s love for His slave and His being pleased with him is that He makes him beloved to His slaves. Al-Bukhaari (3209) and Muslim (2637) narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet Muhammad said:

“When Allah loves a person, He calls out to Jibreel: ‘Allah loves So and so,’ so Jibreel loves him. Then Jibreel calls out to the people of heaven, ‘Allah loves So and so, so love him.’ So the people of heaven love him and he finds acceptance on earth.”

Al-Nawawi said: “and he finds acceptance on earth” means that people love him and are pleased to see him, so their hearts incline towards him. It says in another report: “and he finds love on earth.”

And Allah knows best.

Allah is the creator

This blog is not big enough to include all the miracles of the Holy Quran. So now, I am just gonna write here something simple to share.

Dr. Zakir Naik from India was once giving a lecture on Quran and Modern Science where thousands of people attended. One of the participants asked the following question to him after he finished his lecture: “How do you prove that God exists to a person who is an atheist?” He answered thus: If you see a plane flying by in the sky which is unique from all other planes, and you wish to know the mechanisms behind how this plane is flying, who would you ask first? Of course, you would ask the creator of this plane first because he knows all the engineering involved in it. Similarly, who would know the engineering of this universe before anyone else knew? The Creator of the universe of course. Therefore, Allah, the Creator of EVERYTHING, has given us in the Quran such information which no one knew when the Quran was revealed to prove that there is a God who created everything and that He must be obeyed.

Dear readers, you did not come to this life with your own will. Also, you will not leave this world with your own will. Then why live this life according to your own will? A Muslim is he who submits himself to the will of Allah. So, lets pray to Him for whatever we are up to cuz He is everything and He knows everything. Why not we together ask Him to give us the best cuz Allah is the Creator and He knows every single thing about what He created.

“O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared. [Obey Him, be thankful to Him, and remember Him always], and die not except in a state of Islam [as Muslims (with complete submission to Allah)].”(The Quran, 3:102.)

Allah, this is my day

This day is my new life. I am 18. And I call this day is mine. When I woke up in the morning and finished making me ready for my day, Ahmad came to me and hugged me as if he no longer meet me for a year. I don’t know why he did that but I didn’t care. I kissed his cheeks and head then I said proudly, “Ahmad, today is my birthday!” He gave me a big smile and hugged me again. Then he sang a Happy Birthday song for me. I never thought he’d do that cuz I thought he didn’t really understand what birthday means. Man, he is just a 5-year-old boy. That really surprised me. Then, I sang to him back, “Today is my day. Today is my birthday. Happy happy birthday to me…” Actually, that is the ‘Magic English’ song and I know he like it so much. He started giggling to me. He said I’m cute to be like a little lady then he kissed my nose.
When I went downstairs and started my routine like always, I realized something just began to make me sad. Of course I do. My dad was going to work, my brothers and sister were having a school time and my mother was going to be busy again like always. Then yeah, I AM sad again. I just hope they’d get any damn day-out just for me. I started to felt like wanted to cry. I said to myself that I wanted to go to Matri cuz there, I‘d celebrate this day with my friends. Yes, I did get those phone calls, sms’s, and emails from my friends for the birthday wishes but deeply in my heart, I know that I just wished to meet them and hugged them as tight as I could. But I just could do nothing.
Anyway, something really made me felt so lucky this day. My dad was coming home so early. It was about 6 in the evening. Firstly, I didn’t know why but now I do. He did that just because he wanted the birthday girl happy. After we perform our prayers, my dad said that he was going to bring us out to the Angsana Plaza. For what? Hell yeah… To celebrate my birthday! He brought us to the pizza restaurant as he knows my favourite food is pizza. Then, we had our appetizing dinner there. So happy, wonderful and contented time in the restaurant. You know? I love it.

Waiting for the pizza

Cutting the pizza

Eating time

Then I realized, there are people who Allah gave me to love me and care about me. That is my family and absolutely my friends too. This day, I felt like my dad is the coolest daddy I ever saw. Why not? When he brought me to the plaza, I noticed that he was very tired from working all day long but I know that he really doesn't want to make me disappointed. So, he came back home early to have a bit rest for charging his energy just for the birthday girl's night celebration. My mom too... I realized that she was worned-out like a person who have no more strength to do other work. But subhanallah... for my birthday party, she was willing to do anything. Umi & Abah, I really do love you both. May Allah bless your life. Allah... Thanks for giving me the chance to feel the pleasure of love. Please Allah, do fill my heart with love to You, Rasool Muhammad, my parents and to everybody who loved You. Ameen...

Welcome to the new world

Assalamualaikum... I’m back and here is my new look. Well at first, I decided not to change it because I like the way it was. Actually, cuz I like black. Why not? Black is awesome, fantastic, stylish, simple, and whatever cool things human can think about. But yeah, now I changed my mind. I just choose to switch my favourite colour from black to anything light. Why? Because starting now, I wanted to change my personality. I mean, change my life to the better one.

Last night, I just found something miracle happening to me. I was reading koran when ‘something’ asked me to read the meaning of the very next verse where I was reading. It was Al-Qasas: 77.

"And seek for the good in the hereafter with the (wealth) which Allah has bestowed on you, but forget not the portion of lawful enjoyment in this world; and do good things as how Allah has been good to you, and seek not mischief in this land. Verily, Allah doesn’t like the Mufsidun (those who commit great crimes and sins, oppressors, tyrants, mischief-makers, and corrupters)."

After reading it, I really had decided that I wanted to change the way of my life. I do… Yes, I do… I want to forget every burning things before. Khassah… Yes, I am going to learn to forget about it.

Allah, You know… I’m weak… I’m totally weak… And there is nothing that I can do without Your help. You are everything.

O Allah, I wanted to change my life… Please, help me to turn my sadness into kindness, my uniqueness into strength. There is nobody who has the ability except You. Please Allah… You are my only hope.

Allah… if You let me, I’ll be the princess of the day tomorrow. So, I really have to change my life. I‘ll start a very new life with You by my side. O Allah, I do need You so.

To everybody who I ever know or not, this is me in my new life. I hope I'll change. I don't wanna cry much anymore. I wanted to face this life with full happiness. I'll try to take a rossy view to myself after this. And I'll try to accept everybody in my life no matter who they are. Anyway, welcome to the new world of mine.

"Basyirah, it is tomorrow..."

This is a true story what was happening to me yesterday night. It is when I was having a sleep and I was slumbering tightly. I mean no disturbance. As long as I remember, I don’t have any night dreaming last night. Kind of a solemn sleep I think. But honestly, I’m going to say I heard a voice whispering to my right ear. A very clear and caring voice. The voice said, “Basyirah, it is tomorrow…” I thought it was my dad cuz that voice seems like it was a man. As I heard that voice, I began to open my eyes slowly and said, “What, who’s that?” I rose up my leaned body on my bed. I took a very sharp look around me. Hell yeah, there was nobody in my room ‘cept Hamizah (my lil sister) who was sleeping beside me. I took a look around me for the second time, wondering if I was mistaken. But I was not. It was really nobody there.
Who’s that voice came from? Nor did I care! What I really care is, what’s happening tomorrow. I took a look at the clock, which is hanging on the wall. It was sharp half past three in the morning. O Allah, I was totally blocked. I didn't know what to do. I really couldn’t stop thinking what is going to happen the day after.
Later than a few seconds, tears began to flow down my cheeks. I sobbed loudly. I quickly walked out of my room when I realized my sobbing just disturbed my sister to sleep. I went downstairs then I cried alone. I just couldn’t stand it anymore. I felt like wanted to shout over my lungs. Suddenly, something just tells me that khassah is going to start tomorrow. Then I know why I cried so hard ‘til I couldn’t tell. I was just about to forget ‘bout khassah. But now, I’m ‘bout to remember it again. I really feel a big hard pain in my heart until now. Damn, that hurts a lot. I felt my heart was just like going to explode.
I took my koran cuz I know that was the only way to make me stop those damn tears. But I didn’t read it because I felt like to weak to do so. I just ‘landed my lips’ on it for a few times and hugged it as tight as I could. This continued about 30 minutes! Then, I began to be OK. I went back upstairs and I did what I supposed to.


It was just a few minutes to reach 5 o’clock when I began to get tired then I slept again.
When I woke up for subuh, I still could remember how the voice sounds like. And, I can really feel how its breath blowing my ears until now.
Anyway, I don’t care about it much. I just couldn’t imagine how I’m going to feel so losing for not continuing my studies in khassah.
O Allah, I’m begging You… Please do show me what is the best. If khassah is not the best for me, please…… do let me forget about it. You know that I’m not very strong to face this thing anymore. Please Allah, I’m begging You.

Attention please

O Allah, it is quite a long period when I didn’t feel the real pleasure of smiling. Now, I am smiling and I love it so much. I promise to myself not to cry over the problem I'm facing right now anymore. At this moment, I notice there is still a wonderful life with me. I am amazed on how you created this life to make the humans happy.
Allah... Last night when I look deeply at the charming bright stars floating in the sky, I can feel something special that You gave me. Yes, I sense Your love in my heart. Your love is there all the time to make me smile. I didn’t even realize it was there anymore but actually, it is. I can feel that You are always with me no matter what. And that feeling just make me smile again.
O Allah, Thanks for accompanying me when I am alone. Thanks for always listening to me when I am sad. Thanks for understanding me when I am disappointed. Thanks for hugging me when I lose hope. Thanks for always holding my hands tightly to show me the way where I suppose to go on. Thanks for never living me alone at my wits’ end. Thanks for never turn Your back on me even when I turn my back on You. And finally, thanks for everything (what is and what was).
O Allah, after You allow me to choose what I wanted, You let my heart began to accept the reality that is happening around me. Thank you for helping me to choose my right decision cuz after that, I began to start putting a happy smile on my face. With my wholehearted faith in you, I’m going to leave everything in Your hand.
Umi and Abah, you always try your best for my goodness ‘til I don’t know how to thank you both. Sorry if I had make your heart broken for not listening to your opinion. I know I’m a quite hard-headed person. I’m deadly sorry for that. After this, I’ll be always ready accepting whatever from you both. O Allah, please forgive all of my sins and my parents too. And please do love them as how they loved me when I’m little.
Ciwan, yesterday I just told you that I feel like wanted to go to the moon and shout to everyone that I am smiling. Well, glad to say this to you…. I am on the moon now and of course I’m totally blissful.
Aliya, thanks for giving me strength to continue my life no matter how hard it is. I know you are quite unhappy to know I was depressing yesterday. Anyway, let’s together smile now because now I am.
Khaulah, thanks for your believing. You’ve pray for me and trust me that I can bring myself wherever I go. Take good care of Matri and I hope for you the best, Insha-Allah… For your information, now I'm smiling to my ears.
Kak Maisarah, thanks for spending your time for me even you are in New Zealand. You have to know that I’m very glad to have a sister like you. Well, you don’t have to worry for me much because now I’m okay. I'm smiling already. Thank you so much.
Finally, to those who ever pray for me, worried about me, or gave me force to face my life though it is just a little even I didn’t notice it, thank you very, very much for being nice to me. I’ll remember your kindness as long as I live, insha-Allah…

Khassah ker huh??

Nak khassah.. tak nak khassah.. nak khassah.. tak nak khassah......... Aaaaa!!! macam mana ni? nak masuk khassah ke tak ni?

"Khassah mula bila, Aliya?"

"Isnin depan... Anti jadi masuk khassah tak?"

Terdiam... Tak tau nak jawab. Tiba-tiba, terdengar pula adik ana Ridwan menyanyikan nasyid 'Muhasabah Cinta'.

Argghh.. lagu tu. Lagu tu membuatkan ana terimbas balik kenangan di Matri. Tanpa disedari, air mata dah mula mengalir ke pipi.

"Aliya..." sambung ana..

"Rasa rugi sangat kalau tak masuk khassah. Nak balik Matri.. Nak balik Matri.."

Terus.. Aliya pula terdiam.. (terfikirkan sesuatu)

Ana terus sambung menangis... Sungguh ana maksudkan, rasa rugi sangat kalau tak masuk khassah.. Rasa rugi sangat kalau tak masuk Matri..

Terus ana sambung menangis.

"Nak Matri.. Nak Matri.."

Tiba-tiba... ana terfikir sorang-sorang..

"Aku nak Matri, tapi khassah?? Aku betul-betul nak khassah ke?"

Buntu... Keliru... Tak tau nak buat macam mana. Pilih khassah atau tak?

Ya Allah!! Sesungguhnya aku ni terlampau lemah. Dan aku nak minta tolong pada Engkau lagi, Ya Allah. Tolonglah aku... Bagilah pada aku apa yang terbaik untuk aku. Andainya khassah tu yang terbaik buatku, Kau mudahkanlah urusanku ke arah itu, Kau izinkanlah aku ke sana, Kau gerakkanlah hati aku untuk masuk khassah tanpa ragu-ragu, dan tolong jangan biarkan apa-apa pun yang menghalang aku mengejarnya.

Tapi.... Tapi... Andainya... khassah tu bukan yang terbaik untuk aku, aku mohon dan aku rela walaupun hal ni berat bagi aku... Kau tolonglah ubah hati aku supaya aku tidak mengharap lagi untuk ke khassah, Kau halanglah aku ke arah itu, dan tolong bukakanlah peluang aku untuk memilih apa yang terbaik untuk aku.

Tolonglah, Ya Allah... aku memohon pertolongan Kau kerana Kau mengetahui segala-galanya yang zahir mahupun yang tersembunyi. Aku merendahkan diri aku kepada-Mu serendah-rendahnya kerana aku sedar aku ini hanyalah seorang hamba yang hina sehinggakan tak dapat aku bayangkan betapa hinanya diriku sendiri. Dan... aku menyerahkan diriku sepenuhnya kepada-Mu,Ya Allah... Oleh itu, tolonglah.. Tunjukkanlah aku jalan yang terbaik buat aku...

Berjalanlah untuk Mendapatkan Ketenangan

Keluarlah dari rumah, lalu perhatikanlah apa yang ada di sekeliling kita,

di depan mata kita dan di belakang kita

Dakilah gunung-gunung

Jamahlah tanah di lembah-lembah

Panjatlah batang-batang pepohonan

Teguklah air yang jernih

dan

dekatkanlah hidung ke kelopak mawar


Pada masa itu, kita pasti akan merasakan jiwa kita benar-benar merdeka dan bebas seperti burung yang berkicauan melafazkan tasbih di angkasa kebahagiaan.

Keluarlah dari penjara hidup kita dan tutuplah mata kita dengan kain hitam.

Berjalanlah di bumi Allah yang sangat luas ini dengan sentiasa berzikir dan bertasbih..

Marilah sekali-sekala kita membaca quran

di tepi sungai,

di tepi hutan yang rimbun,

di antara burung-burung yang berkicauan

membaca untaian puisi cinta,

atau

di depan gemercik aliran air sungai

yang sedang mengisahkan perjalannya dari hulu ke hilir.

Lihatlah.. Betapa sayangnya Allah kepada kita

Tidak pernah Allah menghadirkan cubaan tanpa cara untuk menyelesaikannya.

Kesedihan..

Kekecewaan..

Keresahan..

Semuanya boleh dihilangkan dengan pelbagai cara...

Jadi, mengapa kita masih ingin membiarkan diri kita musnah ditelan kedukacitaan.

Kedukaan tidak sepatutnya dibiarkan menghancurkan hati dan jiwa kita.

kerana...

dunia yang remeh ini semestinya tidak layak untuk menyebabkan mengalirnya setitis air mata berharga...

My experiance to be like a handicap

This happened in November 2009, about 4 days before SPM. I had a great fall from the steps at a night when it was pouring and the thunder didn’t stop bumping the ground. The bad news is, my left ankle seems to get hurt the day after. When my teacher (Mrs. Asmah) brought me to the hospital to have a check-up, the doctor said that I just have a soft tissue injury at the part of my ankle and going to be okay after 1 or 2 weeks later. But I’m going to say the doctor was wrong because my ankle was not getting any better for the next 3 weeks but its getting worse. I have to use the wheelchair no matter where I went. Everyday, my friends would guided the wheelchair to the exam hall during SPM seoson; I mean my hall as I was quarantined (It is a room actually). They’d send me to the room before the exam was started then fetched me after that. I can tell that was their routine.

One night, I fell down the floor when I walked to the back of the ‘musolla’ to read Al-Mulk together with my friends as usual before we took our zs. That time, I didn’t use the thing what I call the ‘extra leg’. O Allah, that’s hurt a lot so I burst into tears. I wanted to cry as loud as I could but I felt too weak enough for that. I felt like I couldn’t do anything. My friends didn’t notice that I was crying because I hanged down my head. They thought I was just sleeping for a while. So I sat alone, suffering from the hurt. I have no choice so I waited my friends ‘til they finished the ‘halaqah’ for a while but it seemed like forever. As they finished the ‘halaqah’, one of my friends patted my shoulder as if she wanted to wake me up from sleep. I responded nothing and hold my ankle very tightly so they know that I was suffering from it. Everybody began to get worried and began muddling around.
There was two of my palls went ran for help and the others supported me to the wheelchair then guided it back to the hostel. About past 5 minutes, Dr. Ismail who was one of the expert doctors who live nearby arrived to give me a check-up. After he detected the problem, he told us something terrible. He said that I have to go on with an operation and a physiotherapy after it. He also said that it was a glimmer of hope for my ankle to get well as how it was. Dr. Ismail reminded me that everything is in Allah’s power as he noticed that I began to cry like a lady who was about to give up. After encouraging me, he asked me to use the ankle guard then he left .
Everyone froze for a few seconds. My head was hanging down. I cried my heart out from hearing the news. They started to rub my back and gave me some strength. My friends informed the warden about what Dr. Ismail had said and she said that she’d buy the ankle guard for me.
Honestly, I didn’t sit my SPM like how I supposed to. I felt like it is just a daily exercises from my teachers so I willy-nilly did it. I didn’t think it was my fault because I couldn’t focus as the pain in my ankle was killing me all the time. My languages test is truly bad. I didn’t even have much time to end the essays. During history, the pain was getting worst so I couldn’t focus at all. I just wrote everything in my mind and hoped the time would end quickly. The vicious war began to start again during Add Math. God, I hated that a lot. Everybody knows the fact that I’m not good in Add Math. See, I just wanted a truce at least only during Add Math but I didn’t get what I wished for. I missed 10 questions in biology paper 1. I just answered 40/50!
Before I had my chemistry exam, Mrs. Zaiton held a chemistry class with us. About 15 minutes before Mrs. Zaiton ended the class. My ankle began to make me suffer again. I told my friend who sat beside me during the class that my ankle was stinging. She told me to hold it for a while as the class was going to end a few minutes left. But I couldn’t. Hot water began to roll down me cheeks. Damn, I didn’t even care if somebody saw me crying. I continued crying ‘til Mrs. Zaiton’s husband, Cg. Azmi turned up to fetch her. As she noticed the arrival, she began to end the class. When Cg. Azmi realized I was sobbing, he immediately asked my friends what was going on so they told him why I was crying. He asked me if I needed any medicine. I just nodded. What I thought was just to be free from the pain. Then he walked to his car and came back to me with some pills in his hand for me to swallow down. He asked me to be strong and patient then he left with Mrs. Zaiton.
During the next day, the soreness of my ankle started from early in the morning. It was hurt more than always. I cried when I took my bath. I didn’t even tell my friends about it because I didn’t want to make trouble to anybody. When I was in the exam room, I cried alone. Not long after that, Mrs. Zaiton entered the room. I didn’t even notice that. I startled when she patted my shoulder and asked why I was crying. I quickly wiped my tears and said that I was not (actually I lied). I know that was rude but I just didn’t want her to worry. I forced myself to ignore the pain and tried to answer the questions properly but I couldn’t. God, I couldn’t stand it anymore so I gave up. I just wrote whatever I think about. After sitting the chemistry paper, I began very frustrated when I realized that I missed section C in paper 2. Twenty marks just flew over. I decided to keep it as a secret but I couldn’t so at last, I told my friends about it. They calm me down and asked me not to worry cuz Allah knows everything. After that, I felt much better.
During Arabic Language and PSI (Pendidikan Syari’ah Islamiyah) my ankle began to get well slowly. I started to take the PSI paper in the real exam hall with my friends. I had to have a war with my ankle yet again. But that time I didn’t really care because it is not as bad as before. Thanks to Allah, I still could handle it.
Of course it was strange enough for me. I didn’t need any damn operation or physiotherapies like how Dr. Ismail told me but I was changing for the better. Alhamdulillah… Then I realized, Allah is helping me a lot. I know that my parents, teachers, friends and everybody who saw me with the wheelchair always pray for my best too. Every time I pondered about it, I began to cry. I was more confident than ever that Allah never forgets to help us though we did so much bad things. He gave us test because He wants us to remember Him much. From my experience to be like a handicap person, I realized how we have to appreciate everything that we got from Him. We also have to be grateful for the presence of everybody around us no matter what they had done to us. What I learned, everything is a priceless gift so appreciate it before getting late. For Allah who never turn His back on me even if I turn my back on Him, thank you…

My family's pizza recipe

Well this is my family’s pizza recipe. My mom always makes it for us since I couldn’t remember but I never know how to do it ‘till now. Actually, I’m not really good in cooking and that is why I felt excited if I know how to cook something. Anyway, pizza is my favourite. Oh yeah… Before anything, I really wanted to beg you not to laugh at me for feeling wound up cuz now I know how to bake a pizza myself. Hey…its still cool, isn’t it? Not going to talk more longer so, “have a try and enjoy you hand make pizza!!!”

Pizza Dough (Makes enough dough for two 10-12 inches pizza)

• Warm water - 400 ml
• Yeast - 2 1/4 teaspoons
• Bread flour – 16 oz [Actually, we can use all purpose but bread flour will give a crisper crust (my mom told me that)]
• Olive oil – 2 table spoons
• Salt – 1/2 teaspoon
• Sugar – 1 table spoon
  

Toppings

• Tomato/chili/pasta sauce
• Tomato puree
• Oregano leaves
• Margarine
• Mozzarella cheese (shredded) - 250g
• Mushrooms (thinly sliced)
• Bell peppers (stems and seeds removed, thinly sliced)
• Minced chicken meat (fried)
• Tomato (thinly sliced)
• Sausage (fried, thinly sliced) [Any other additional are allowed]

Special equipment needed

• A pizza stone, recommended if you want your pizza to be more crusty [Actually, my mom never use it in making a pizza, but you can use it if you wanted]
• A pizza pan
• A pizza wheel (for cutting the pizza) not required, but easily to deal with than a knife

METHOD

Making the pizza dough

Add the flour with sugar, salt, olive oil, water and don't forget the yeast. Mix and knead it to form a dough. My mom says, if the dough seems a little too wet, sprinkle a bit more flour.

Cover the dough with cling film. Live it for 1 to 1 1/2 hour or 'til it doubled in size.

Preparing the pizza

1. Remove the cling film from the dough and punch the dough so it deflates a bit. Divide the dough in half. From 2 round balls of dough.
2. Working one ball of dough at a time, take one of dough and knead and roll it before place it on the pizza pan. After putting the kneaded and rolled dough on the pizza pan, use your palm to flatten the edge of the dough where it supposed to be thicker.
   
   

3. Spoon on the tomato/chilli/pasta sauce and a bit tomato puree then spread it on the flattened dough, sprinkle the oregano leaves, place your desire toppings on the pizza and finally the shredded cheese on it. Don’t forget to apply some margarine at the edge of the pizzao9. Do the same thing to the other dough.

4. Bake the pizza in the oven for 200 degree Celsius about 30-35 minutes.


Well, this is the product of my family’s pizza. I love it and I know you’ll love it too. Lets together have our lunch.

Mmmm… Yummy… Ops… Sorry, ALHAMDULILLAH…
