Enduring Hardship

Asssalamualaikum and a very good day to all readers..

i dont think that i've a lot of readers nowadays..
as it has been almost half a year since my last post..
hehehe.. sibuk tu xde la sgt, cuma xtau nk 'gebang' apa je..

right now also dont have anything interesting to write,
but when thinking about my life, i think it is quite an adventurous and unpredictable journey ahead..
till now, i've gone through lots of hardship and more to come i should say..
subhanallah, ni baru dugaan duniawi, klau akhirat nnt ntah cmne la plak..

what is my hope?
I hope that i'm strong enough to go on as one piece..
klau hidup di dunia ni dah xdpt tahan, cmne la klau tiba hari pembalasan..  Na'uzubillah..

how to endure hardship?
i've found myself to read a Friday Prayer Khutbah..
it is entitle 'Enduring Hardship' taken from Islam the Eternal Path to Peace
tajuk ni mgkin mberi sdikit ksdaran n panduan utk mneruskn khidupan agar xtpesong jauh..

I am sure that each and every one of us has,  at some
point in his or her life, been visited by grief,
tragedy, or tremendous loss, emotionally or materially.
It may have  been a serious illness or accident or
death of a loved one, or we may have failed an important
examination, or we may have seen a business or
professional career which has grown and prospered over
many years, finally come to disaster.  

To those who have suffered such a loss, their feelings
are hard to describe adequately. There is a sense of
utter despair, emptiness, and a numbing of the senses.
It can become so intense that one actually questions
the whole purpose and meaning of life. In this country
we have many organisations and charities that offer
professional help like bereavement counselling or advice
on dealing with financial hardship. However, many people
are unable to come to terms with sudden catastrophic
loss, and therefore, we often hear of someone being so
overcome with grief that they have taken leave of their
senses, they suffer prolonged and repeated bouts of deep
depression, a complete change of personality. In extreme
cases, some victims of hardship lose all inclination for
life at all and they commit suicide. 

How should we Muslims deal with intense personal
suffering and grief? How should we comfort a friend or
relative who is in distress?

In Sura Al-Baqara, verses 155-157, Allah subhanallahu
ta'ala reminds us:

Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and
hunger; some loss in goods or lives or the fruits (of
your toil) but give glad tidings to those who patiently
persevere. Who say when afflicted with calamity:  
"Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhir raji-oon"

"To Allah we belong and to Him is our return."
They are those on whom (descend) blessings from Allah
and Mercy and they are the ones that receive guidance.

From these verses we can see that in a Muslim's life,
hardship and suffering should never come as a complete
surprise. In fact, Allah promises us some hardship as
a certainty, somewhere during our lifetime. It is a
test of our iman, our faith in Allah, and we should
not despair, because there are lessons to be learnt
from every situation, especially from misfortune. 

I am reminded of a Turkish proverb which says that
the best teacher is a bad experience. A true believer
should know that during his lifetime, he must expect
to be visited by success and failure, pleasure and pain,
loss and gain. This is the inseparable duality of life.
We cannot value anything without knowing its opposite.
We must accept life as it comes, in the best of times
and the worst of times, with equal grace and forbearance. 

In our arkaanul Imaan, we say:

"Wa bil qadri khairi wash sharr-ree minal laahi ta
'Aalah."

" And the consequences of good and evil, come from
Allah"

Let us consider Nabi Ayyub's example, which appears in
Sura Al- Anbiyya_h, v. 83 and 84:

"And (remember) Ayyub when he cried to his Lord "Truly
distress has seized me but You are the Most Merciful
of those that are merciful." 

So We listened to him: We removed the distress that
was on him and We restored his people to him and
doubled their number as a Grace from Ourselves and a
thing for commemoration for all who serve Us"

Nabi Ayyub was a prosperous man, with faith in Allah,
and he suffered many hardships. His cattle were
destroyed, his servants killed by the sword, and his
family crushed under his roof. But he held fast to
his faith in Allah. As a further calamity he was
covered with ugly sores from head to foot, and his
friends abandoned him. But throughout this ordeal,
his faith, his iman remained rock-solid, unswerving,
undiminished.  

Because of this, Almighty Allah was pleased with him,
so he was restored to full health. Not only was his
prosperity redoubled, but his family and friends
returned to him, and Allah gave him 7 sons and 3
daughters. He lived to a good old age, and saw four
generations of his descendants before he died.

This inspiring story of Prophet Ayyub is a wonderful
example to us all. When we encounter sudden hardship,
we should not feel sorry for ourselves,  because
self-pity leads us nowhere.  We should place our
complete trust in Allah subhanallahu ta'ala, and
have the certainty in heart and mind, that at the
end of our pain and suffering, Allah's love and mercy
will embrace us.
 
To a Believer, good fortune and misfortune are merely
two sides of the same coin of life. Although we do
not welcome hardship, we know that even in the noonday
of life, we live in the shadow of death; in the peak
of our prosperity, we are just a few short paces away
from poverty and in the prime of our good health,
illness lurks in the shadows nearby.

A hadith narrated by Abu 'Abbas 'Abdullah, says:

"Remember Allah in times of ease, and He will recognise
you in times of distress. What hit you could not have
missed you, what missed you could not have hit you.
Remember that victory comes with patience, relief comes
with affliction and ease comes with hardship".

innallaha wa malaaikata yusalluna alan nabi. Ya ay yuhal
latheena amanu sallu alayhi wasalli ma tas leema.
Allahumma salli ala Muhammad, wa ala ali Muhammad, kama
salayta ala Ibrahim, wa ala ali Ibrahim. Allahumma barik
ala Muhammad, kama barakta ala Ibrahim, wa ala ali
ibrahim. Fil ala meen, innaka hameedun majeed.


SECOND KHUTBAH:


My dear Brothers and Sisters,  


"verily in the Messenger of Allah we have the finest of
examples"

Prophet Muhammad [sallal-lahu 'alayhi wasallam] also
endured much pain and hardship, especially in his youth,
with extraordinary patience and perseverance. He was an
orphan, cared for by milk-mother, grandfather, and
uncles. During the early years of his mission, he was
jeered, taunted, threatened, reviled and persecuted by
his own tribe, the Quraish of Makka.  Many of his
followers were killed for their acceptance of Islam.  In
the 63 years of our prophet Muhammad's life, he
experienced every human hardship from loss of father,
mother and grandfather to loss of dear friends, personal
wealth and rejection from his tribe. Because of his
unswerving devotion to Allah, he was granted success in
this world, and in the hereafter. History has witnessed
his achievements. Whatever personal grief, suffering or
loss we might encounter in our lifetime, it would be
appropriate to remember Sura Dhuha,-ha. This Sura
addresses Nabi Muhammad directly, but it also applies to
all Muslims indirectly, in all times and all circumstances.

Wadh dhuha_
Wal laili idza_ saja_
Ma_ wad da'aka rab buka wa ma_qala_
Wa lal a_khiratu khairul laka minal u_la_
Wa lasaufa yutika rabbuka fatarda_
Alam yajika yatiman fa a_wa_
Wa wajadaka da_lan fahada_
Wa wajadaka a_ilan fa agna_
Fa am mal yatima fala_ taqhar
Wa am mas sa_ila fala_ tanhar
Wa am ma_ bini mati rabbika fahad-dith

By the glorious morning light, and by the night when
it is still; Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor is
He displeased. Verily, the hereafter will be much
better for you than the present. Have we not found
you an orphan, and gave you shelter and care? Have
we not found you wandering, and gave you guidance?
Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness, nor
turn away The petitioner unheard; but the blessings
of your Lord Rehearse and proclaim!.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, next time we encounter
grief or hardship, and we feel lonely and depressed,
let us remember this Sura, that offered hope and
reassurance to the greatest of men. It offers the
same hope and reassurance to us also. At the end of
every dark tunnel of despair is the reward of Allah,
Most Gracious, Most Merciful. 

Let us pray, may Allah give us strength to endure
hardship with patience, and to emerge from all the
trials and tribulations of this life, with our Iman
renewed and our trust in Allah redoubled.

So, after reading this, hope that everyone will be in the right path.. Insyaallah..

Eid ul-Fitr

It is almost at the end of Ramadhan...

Most of us surely have made lots of preparation for Eid ul-Fitr.

And for those who are working outside their hometown,

they might have applied for a long holidays..

But dont forget, there are some who cannot celebrate with families..

these are for those who are far away from country...

studying overseas or their job cannot allow them to be with families..

but, wherever you are, and whatever you do..

you still can get forgiveness...

dont forget to give your family a call, or through video conferencing, chatting etc..

Do it while you still can, dont wait until u're too late..

Enjoy the video...




And at this very moment,
i would like to wish all Muslims,
families and friends,

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri
Ampun dan maaf dipinta dari hujung kaki sampai hujung rambut..

pandu cermat perlahan-lahan,
      agar selamat dalam perjalanan;
hidup ini tidak lepas dari kesilapan,
      sama-samalah kita bermaaf-maafan.

sungguh kita terlalu leka,
      ramadhan sudah di penghujungnya;
raya tu rayalah juga,
      ibadah dan solat jangan dilupa.

Malaysia Independence Day

To all Malaysians, 

Selamat menyambut hari kemerdekaan yg ke-53




P/S: is Malaysia really a free country??? renung2kan...

Salam Ramadhan

A warm welcome to Ramadhan Al-Mubarrak, 

the month of fasting to all Muslims.

It is the ninth month in Islamic calendar, Hijri.(Hijrah)

Fasting is in which participating Muslims refrain from eating,

drinking and sexual activities from dawn until sunset.

Fasting is intended to teach Muslims about patience, humility and spirituality.

During Ramadan, Muslims ask forgiveness for past sins, pray for guidance and

help in refraining from everyday evils, and try to purify themselves through 

self-restraint and good deeds.

To my family, friends and all Muslims, wish u all 'Selamat Berpuasa'.

May this fasting month go on smoothly with Allah bless..

                        Doa Berbuka Puasa

It has been a while

I think i've left my blog stranded for so long..

If it is in reality, the blog will be piled up with spider web..

But the funniest thing is, my blog is already on web (world wide web).. hehehe..

It is not because im too busy  until i dont have time to look into my blog..

but the big 'L' is hiding sumewhere in my life..

not saying i'm a L.O.O.S.E.R okay.. only a bit L.A.Z.Y to do so.. honestly talk k..

Nevertheless, i'm now doing sum part time writing n translating articles..

so, the time that i mostly spent on is doing the job.. 

Alhamdulillah enough to get myself a pocket money.. 

about my love story..

im still falling in love with the same cutest girl my eyes can see..

the one n only Munirah Abdullah..

Even she is not here beside me, but she is always be with me in my heart..

jauh di mata dekat di hati gitu..

oh munirah, aku sayang dan rindu pada kamu..

jiwang plak.. ok sapa2 nk 'bluwek' bleh lakukan skang..  hehehe..

And as part of my life also, im making myself busy with badminton..

Life is incomplete without badminton.. hahahaha.. statement xleh blah..

but really, badminton is my passion.. my fav sport..

nk men bola xleh sbb Asthma, so more to badminton la yg ssuai utk aku bersukan..

tp klau tgk bola i'm totally into it especially pasukan Manchester United..

mentioning about Manchester United, this really makes my adrenalin rising..

the 'game' is really pulling the rope up to ur neck..

kalau ada yg sakit jantung dnasihatkn kurang tgk bola dlm situasi skang..

i  think most football fans know wut im talking about..

frankly, i'm still wondering who will be the champion..

based on paper the bulus is still on top of the table..

but as shown on previous games, papers dont really count..

only the result matters.. so guys, cross your fingers,

and start to B.E.L.I.E.V.E..

and at the same time Love United Hate Glazers!!!

kalau menang satu bonus, but if xmenang skali pn xrugi apa2..

Manchester United has become champs 4 lots of time..

so it is ok to become 2nd or 3rd  sumtimes..

it is just to make the EPL more alive and exciting. 

erm..nothing more to say.. dats 4 now..

mybe next time i can make entry about food..

hahaha.. this is the part which is also my expertise.. E.A.T.

meet the classmates (1991-1996)

14th February 2010 was a fantastic day..
it is not because of the Valentine's Day..
but for me, it is like a friendship day..

As u all know, that day was a Chinese New Year..
therefore, many of us took that opportunity to get back to hometown.
and there are some who schedule that day as a wedding reception day..

One of the many people who had a wedding reception was Nur Aaina..
we used to study together during primary school..
and on her wedding day, it became a small reunion day for a few of our ex-classmates(1991-1996)..

I would like to take this opportunity to wish Aaina and her husband, a happy married life..
'semoga berkekalan sehingga ke akhir hayat..'

After we went to the wedding reception,
all of us (ex-classmates, kecuali pengantin) went to our primary school..
It was the day when all the flashback drove back into mind..
a lot of things were being remembered,
but lot of changes also happened to the school..
(xheran la, last msuk sek tu pun thn 2000 - angah still study kt sek tu..)

later after the visit to the school,
we went for a drink to refresh our throat and regain energy..
(letih sbb bnyk sgt gelak ketawa)
after a short drink (lama gk la kt kdai tu), all of us went back home..

catch and release

have u ever caught a wildlife animal?
i just did it yesterday..


i dont really know the species of the animal, but its look like a raccoon type..


this type of animals eat fruits..
therefore, my brother and i used papaya as a bait to catch this animal..
the trap cage was set on the roof of our house before sunset..
 then, around 1 am, the animal trapped inside the cage..

wut did we do to the animal?
dont worry, no harm was made to the wildlife..
we just took the animal to the suitable place for that types of animal to live.
it was sent to the jungle to live happily ever after with lots of fruits to eat..

here are some sequence pictures of the freedom for the animal into wildlife..

p/s: this is not the first time that this type of animals are found and captured.. 
wuteva happen, we'll always ready to catch and release the animals again n again and time to time..

2nd January 2010 - Out of service

Last Saturday, as usual i played badminton with my friends..

and that was the last day of service for one of my racquet...

Bedini Nano Glasstex 9000

since i've owned almost 7th racquets for my entire career,

this racquet was the 1st one  ended broken during the game which played by me..

over a few years of playing, most of the broken racquets were made by other users..

i didn't blame anyone for the damage, but i felt a bit sad when one of my fav racquet was among them..

it was a yonex brand racquet.. it was the expensive racquet that i'd bought..

after it was broken, i couldn't find the same series to replace it..

after the bad experience, i learnt that i need to have a back up..

so, for this Bedini racquet that just broken,

i've another one which is really the same series n colors..

this is to make sure that when something bad like this happen, i've already prepared..

so, after this do i need a new racquet? someone want to sponsor?

Ahlan Wasahlan Ya Ramadhan

i'm now in Perlis, my lovely hometown..

there is nothing much to write..
just want to take this oppoturnity to wish..

SELAMAT MENYAMBUT
RAMADHAN AL MUBARAK

in Perlis, since 1st Ramadhan, everyday is a rainy day..
not a single day since i've arrived that u can feel hot.
everyday is a cool and breezy day..

to all Muslims in the world, especially my friends n oso to myself,
make this year's fasting month a better month than the other month..
fill the month with 'ibadah' n 'taqwa' to Allah s.w.t..

123456789

once in a life time.. priceless moment..

twin?

this is just to show the greatest power of Allah swt.
He creates all the living creatures in the world.
Allah the almighty.. Creator of the human kind..

look at these two pictures..
both are not the same people neither a twin..
they have nothing in relationship..

Nurul Huda Isma


but wut all of us can see, both of them have similiar look.
even not 100% the same, but i'll sure someone will be confused..

even for the first time when i look at Isma's picture (munirah's photoshoot client),
i am very sure that i've seen her before..
but then i realized she is not the person that i know..
the person i know is nurul huda.. (munirah's friend)

so, this show us that Allah is so Great..
He can create whatever He wants to..
He don't have to create a clone to make someone look the same.

p/s: credit to the pictures owners.. and thanks for the participants in the pictures.. hehe..

thank you SKBBKS..

Last week on 26th June 2009 was our last day doing our practicum..
SK Bandar Baru Kuala Selangor had gave all five of us lots of experience.

we're very thankful to all SKBBKS' family.. we've learn so much during our 4 months there.
