Bismillah.

 Assalamualaikum. How are you doing? :)

 After few months, at last here I come. Reason being is, I've graduated from IIUM, hence no free-WiFi. Hehe. My subscription data isnt too strong to connect to blogspot.

 Some updates from me.

 Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah.
Alhamdulillah.

 I graduated for my second degree last June and attended my convocation just a fortnight ago.

 Currently staying in Gombak, doing some freelance jobs here and there.

 Till then. Wassalam :)

Action Plan for Ramadhan

Saturday, June 04, 2016

Bismillah. Assalamualaikum. 

 Marhaban Ya Ramadhan. Some sharing from Ust Nouman Ali Khan video. The link is provided below :)


شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي أُنزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدًى لِّلنَّاسِ وَبَيِّنَاتٍ مِّنَ الْهُدَىٰ وَالْفُرْقَانِ ۚ فَمَن شَهِدَ مِنكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ ۖ وَمَن كَانَ مَرِيضًا أَوْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ فَعِدَّةٌ مِّنْ أَيَّامٍ أُخَرَ ۗ يُرِيدُ اللَّهُ بِكُمُ الْيُسْرَ وَلَا يُرِيدُ بِكُمُ الْعُسْرَ وَلِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلَىٰ مَا هَدَاكُمْ وَلَعَلَّكُمْ تَشْكُرُونَ

SAHIH INTERNATIONAL:
The month of Ramadhan [is that] in which was revealed the Qur'an, a guidance for the people and clear proofs of guidance and criterion. So whoever sights [the new moon of] the month, let him fast it; and whoever is ill or on a journey - then an equal number of other days. Allah intends for you ease and does not intend for you hardship and [wants] for you to complete the period and to glorify Allah for that [to] which He has guided you; and perhaps you will be grateful. (2:185)

-Allah put special ease for us for fasting in Ramadhan, which we may not find in other months
-Allah wants ease for you and does not want difficulties for you
-If someone says, it is not difficult (it also has covered the part that it is easy), but Allah SWT with His mercy convey repetitive talks, to convice you
- If you fast in Ramadhan, it will be easy for you, unlike fasting in other months
-Allah does not only want us to fast in Ramadhan, but also strive for perfection in the month
-We dont have perfect solah, perfect wudhu', perfect fast; but these 30 days will help us to strive for perfection

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Get rid of video games, movies, tv
-Parents should encourage the kids to lessen the video games during Ramadhan
-Delete the apps
-It may be like oxygen for some, but this is a way for perfecting our Ramadhan
-Have to stop the things that distract us 
-Dont make excuses to watch the news, you're not gonna change anything, just relax (especially the 8pm national news)


 2. Goal to memorize certain amount of Quranic verses this month
 -Whether you have never memorized the qur'an, you will just have to this month
-make a point to memorize
-Start by recitng one ayah, read it 10 times, recite the next ayah 10 times, then read ayah together 10 times
-download good recitation, listen, read it properly, look at the ayah and read 10 times, 
-dedicate a specific time to memorize
-set up an encouraging reward

 3. Learn and memorize duas
-It will be really beneficial for us
-It will help you in the rest of your life
-Memorise the dua

 4. For brothers dont stress your wife to cook lavish food all the time during Ramadhan
-it is not the month for a mountain of foods 
-eat light, eat normal
-how you will come to tarawih if you are to full during iftar
-make the most of the month
-we have to do better this ramadhan than the last one
-you're not in competition with anyone, but yourself

 5. The things that you asked your kids to do, you do it too, together - for sisters - - Reciting, memorizing, listening to tafseer, listen to the explanation of the qur'an 
-Obviously you guide with examples
-Take the full advantage of this month


 5. Try to focus your very best to understand the quran - for huffaz
-study 2,3 juz in tafseer 
-in years to come, you might be able to complete the study of tafseer just for allocating  time in Ramadhan

 6. Get rid of the apps - for brothers
-get rid of the entertainment inputs
-come to masjid for fajr, make it a goal this year, to offer fajar n isya' in jamaah everyday
-Why? Because Prophet SAW said;it is like praying foran entire night,if both solat is offered in jamaah 
-Make this Ramadhan counts
-It is a special month for all of us
-Make it a special occasion for us and the family

 Allahumma ballighna Ramadhan.
Wallahua'lam.

Sang Murabbi

Sang Murabbi

Wednesday, June 01, 2016

Bismillah. Assalamualaikum.

In sha Allah, kali ni nak kongsi mengenai sebuah filem Indonesia, 'Sang Murabbi'.

Filem ni adalah berdasarkan kisah benar, perjuangan seorang kiyai di Indonesia, KH Rahmat b Abdullah.

*KH Rahmat Abdullah lahir pada tahun 1953 dan meninggal dunia pada tahun 2005.

Jika filem Sang Pencerah, mengisahkan KH Ahmad Dahlan, seorang ulama' pendiri Muhammadiyyah; kisah ini juga sangat bagus dan bermanfaat untuk ditonton. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Filem ni mengisahkan bagaimana KH Rahmat berusaha mengadakan majlis ta'lim dengan mengumpulkan  anak-anak muda dan menekankan agenda dakwah. Majlis ta'lim ini bahkan dituduh sebagai ajaran sesat dan berkali-kali Ust Rahmat dipanggil oleh pihak berkuasa.  

Selanjutnya, beliau memilih anak-anak muda yang betul-betul komit dan mengumpulkan mereka di sebuah tempat yang terasing dari orang ramai; juga untuk menyampaikan agenda dakwah dan tarbiyah. Juga dikisahkan bagaimana anak-anak muda para pengikut dakwah sembunyi-sembunyi untuk menjaga kerahsiaan (sir) sewaktu menghadiri program-program dan usrah mereka. 

Ust Rahmat sebagai seorang yang sangat sibuk dengan dakwah dan tarbiyah berusaha meluangkan masa walaupun sedikit bersama keluarga. Beliau juga tidak berputus asa berdakwah kepada adiknya yang terjerumus ke dalam jurang pergaulan yang negatif. 

Beliau kemudiannya terlibat dengan Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS) di Indonesia.

Pada akhir filem, terdapat video pada hari peninggalan beliau dan ramainya orang yang hadir untuk menyolatkan jenazah Ust Rahmat serta komentar dari sahabat-sahabat ustaz. 


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manfaat dari filem 'Sang Murabbi'

1. Dakwah itu tidak mudah
2.Tadabbur bersama ayat 10, surah as-Soff; perihal satu perdagangan yang boleh menyelamatkan kita daripada azab
3. Berdakwah itu perlu kepada berjemaah 
4. Dakwah menuntut pengorbanan yang tinggi
5. Saya percaya segala hal yang dikisahkan ini, inilah realiti yang berlaku pada rutin kehidupan murabbi kita, tok guru kita di Malaysia dan seluruh dunia


* My review doesnt look good, but I assure you, this is a very absorbing movie :)

Wallahua'lam.

Jadilah Seorang yang Baik

Jadilah Seorang yang Baik

Monday, May 30, 2016

Bismillah. Assalamualaikum :)

 Sedikit perkongsian kata-kata yang sungguh bermakna oleh Ibn al-Qayyim

 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


JADILAH SEORANG YANG BAIK
MESKIPUN ENGKAU TIDAK DILAYAN DENGAN BAIK


"Seseorang kawan rapat tidak berkongsi kesakitan dgnmu, seorang kekasih tidak menanggung keperitanmu, seorang rakan karib tidak menggantikan tempatmu untuk berjaga malam.

Ambil beratlah tentang dirimu sendiri, jagalah ia, pimpinlah ia, jangan kamu layan peristiwa yg berlaku melebihi kadar yg sepatutnya


Pastikan dengan sebenar2nya, ketika engkau bersedih, tiada yang boleh menenangkanmu kecuali dirimu sendiri, ketika engkau tewas, tiada yang boleh memenangkanmu selain dirimu sendiri, kemampuanmu utk bangkit semula tiada yang memilikinya selain dirimu.


Janganlah kamu cari nilai diri kamu pada pandangan manusia, carilah ia dlm jiwa kamu sendiri, bila jiwa itu tenang, terangkatlah kedudukan, bila kamu telah kenal diri kamu, maka apa yg dikatakan kepadamu tiada kesan mudaratnya lagi.


Usahlah kamu tanggung beban keresahan hidup di dunia kerana ia adalah milik Allah. Usah jua kamu pikul beban keresahan mencari rezeki kerana ia adalah dari Allah dan usahlah jua kamu pikul beban keresahan mengejar masa depan kerana ia adalah di Tangan Allah


Yg perlu kamu pikul hanyalah satu beban keresahan sahaja, iaitu bagaimana hendak melakukan perkara yg meredhakan Allah, kerana bila engkau meredhakan Allah, Dia akan meredhaimu, mencukupi bagimu dan memadai untukmu. 


Janganlah kamu berputus asa dengan kehidupan yang menyebabkan hati mu menangis, sebaliknya, katakanlah: "Ya Allah! gantikanlah untukku dengan kedua2 kebaikan di dunia dan akhirat.

Kedukaan itu akan hilang dengan satu sujud, manakala kegembiraan akan datang dengan satu seruan. Allah tidak akan sekali-kali melupakan kebaikan yang telah engkau buat atau keresahan yg telah engkau tolong hilangkan atau mata yang hampir menangis yang engkau tolong ceriakan.

Hiduplah di atas prinsip:

 "Jadilah seorang yang baik, meskipun engkau tidak dilayan dengan baik, bukan kerana mereka, tetapi kerana Allah suka kepada orang yang baik"


:) 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Mari berkenalan dengan Ibn al Qayyim al Jawziyyah :)

1. Satu perkara yang paling 'common' apabila menyebut mengenai Ibn al Qayyim adalah beliau merupakan anak murid kepada Ibn Taimiyyah

2. Beliau berguru dengan Ibn Taimiyyah sejak usia 21 tahun sehingga peninggalan Ibn Taimiyyah

3. Gelaran al Jawziyyah adalah kerana bapanya merupakan principal di Madrasah al Jawziyyah dan kemudiaanya Ibn al Qayyim sendiri menjadi guru di madrasah tersebut, di Damascus

4. Antara anak murid kepada Ibn al Qayyim ialah Ibn Rajab dan Ibn Kathir.

Interview Tips

Interview Tips

Wednesday, May 11, 2016

Bismillah.
Assalamualaikum :)

 Recently I attended a career workshop organised by JustNice Family. 
The speaker is Br. Faridzul Nasaruddin, an IIUM Alumni from AIKOL and is a Senior Legal Executive at PETRONAS.

 He shared many beneficial points but here I will stress only on the main points :D

EIGHT POINTS TO SHARE:

 1. Be Smart and Mindful
- For clothes, make sure you dont pick it randomly
- Please prepare the clothes you want to wear
- Make sure you choose an apparel that is comfortable to boost your confidence
  *even if you just going to classes, wearing clothes/scarfs that is not at your comfort will somewhat lower your confidence :p
-Know your style personality. There are four types; Natural, Romantic, Classic and Dramatic 
 *please google to know descriptions for each type and which type you are in :D
- The most suitable for professional is Classic type
- Fake it until you make it !
- The first step even in choosing your clothes is important. Why? Put your intention to go for the interview for spiritual sides also; like you are gonna feed the family with the salary you got, you will be employed, this job will help you to spread dakwah at a different environment and you will have greater chance to contribute to the society etc :)

 2. Art of Handshake
- Br. Faridzul demonstrated the right way for handshake 
- I think the important point here is smile and see straight to the interviewer
- If the interviewer purposely put his hands at his back, it is understood that he didnt want to handshake, so please dont offer to him :)

 3. When Entering the Interview Room
- Do not hesitate
- Walk straight to the interviewer
- Walk with firmness and confidence 

 4. Smile
-Smile sincerely, like a baby :)
-People will notice if our smile is sincere or fake 

 5. While Waiting to be called 
- i forgot the points here =_='

 6. When Approaching
- i forgot the points here =_='

 7. When Sitting
- Pacing and mirroring technique
- It is when you mimmick@copy the movement of the interviewer without him noticing
- Eg: When the interviewer asked questions, he hold on to a pen, so when you answer you   hold a pen too or something like that . You do it like not very obvious like you are used     to it. Why? Because the interviewer will think that you have similarity with his style and   he may like you for that 

 8. Exit
- When exiting, do not look back
- Walk out with firmness and confidence too!

 That's all ^_^

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BONUS TIPS

 1. When asked to introduce yourself, keep it simple. You may include your name, where did you come from, where did you study your age and where do you  live

 2. Attitude and personality is important. 

 3. When you are asked about your previous work experience (if any), please do not say any negative things about your previous employer !

 4. Please study the company before you go for the interview

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 You are a fresh graduate and have no job experience. What should you answer when they asked about this? Eg: Your lack of experience in work etc

 ANSWER: Yes, I do not have any job experience in this field since I have just graduated, but I believe that if I am accepted to join the company, I will try my best to ensure that this first job experience will be the best experience for me <3

 *Br.Faridzul's friend's experience and he was hired :D

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Alhamdulillah, that's all for today.
Wallahua'lam.
And Allah knows best :)
