sebatang pokok kurma

Kelmarin, ketika sedang sibuk2 bergegas ke sana sini bawak plastik bag yg tak kurang banyakny, dan takut ketinggalan LRT, sahabat DI menarik tangan DI untuk berhenti seketika di tepi laluan.

a man, one arm missing was holding boxes of tissues in his bags was sitting on a piece of cloth, wearing a worn-me-down clothes. beside him was a sign "4 bungkus tisu RM1.00".

A              :Pakcik, nak beli tisu. tapi nak amik dua je

Pakcik      :tapi 4 seringgit adik. amik la 4

A              :eh, takpe.

                  (sambil memandang ke arah DI) bell, ad duit pecah tak?

DI             :xde, 5 ringgit je.

A              :ok. bagi 5 ringgit tu

pakcik tu segera mencari duit baki dalam poket guna tangan kanan dia. 

A             :eh, pakcik. takpe2. amik je 5 ringgit nie pakcik (smbil muka tersengih).

                 buat pakcik nak bukak pose nanti hehe

Pakcik     :terima kasih, dik. semoga Allah membalas kebaikan adik

A and DI :senyum...

bila teringat balik, rasa cam wahhhhh n terharu at the same time. kagum dgn seorg lelaki yang kurang sempurna fizikalnya tapi masih memerahkan keringat di bulan ramdhan yang penuh barakah ni utk bekerja. yup, bekerja mencari rezeki yang halal. 

boleh je kalau pakcik nak letak bekas kt depan dia and mengharapkan orang yang lalu lalang utk bersedekah. boleh je.

tapi dia pilih utk buat perniagaan so that dua2, pembeli dan penjual dapat manfaat dia. orang bleh dpt tisu, dia boleh dpt duit.

mmg la bersedekah dapat pahala tp kan, pakcik tu sgt2 la berusaha utk mencari rezeki. 

one of my favourite ayat in the quran:

Dan goyanglah pangkal pohon kurma itu ke arahmu, nescaya (pohon) itu akan menggugurkan buah kurma yang masak kepadamu

(19:25)

Waktu Maryam nak melahirkan nabi Isa a.s, hanya Allah je la yang tahu macam mana sakitnya seorang ibu nak give birth. subhanallah, i salute all the mothers out there :)

bayangkan la, dah la tgh sarat mengandung tunggu masa je nak lahir, tapi Allah kata kat Maryam, "goyanglah..." Goyangkan pokok kurma yg batang dia boleh tahan jugak besarny. 

Dalam erti kata lain, Allah nak Maryam berusaha jugak utk dapatkn makanan untuk dia dalam keadaan yang genting tu. boleh je Allah appearkn makanan kt depan Maryam, kun faya kun. Allah can.

But he wants us all to work for it, no matter what the outcome will be. sebab usaha tu yang Allah kira. setiap goncangan, sekecik dan selemah mana pon goncangan tu, Allah bagi, bagi dan bagi pahala kat kita. sebab apa? sebab kita berusaha. bukan untuk sesiapa pon. tapi untuk Dia.

subhanallah, hebat x hebat Maryam :)

dan begitu jugak hebatnya pakcik yang DI jumpa tu. m

May Allah shower him will all the blessings in this month of Ramadhan for his hard work. bagi lah dia kenyang dengan rezeki yang dia dapat. 

Pakcik kenyang, kita pon kenyang dengan sadaqah that we did :D

alhamdulillah.

just don't.

Allah made us different from each other for a reason.

you might not like what i like and vice versa.

What I learned from it is that, Allah is telling me to accept others as others are trying to accept you. as much as you hate a person for doing something you don't like, try to understand why he or she is doing it in the place.
we might not know the whole story.
don't judge. don't cut ppl off. don't say i hate u or it-whatever it might be

just, try to understand.
he might be doing it for a completely different reason from what u're thinking.

because we are different.
Allah has made us to understand each other. so we could fit all the similarities and differences and fit them all together to make a whole.

hold it nowwww

sabar.
no wonder la Allah byk je kata dalam Quran, org yg banyak bersabar tu ganjaran dia BESAR. syurgaaaaaaaa

a 5-letter word. pendek je tapi mak aihhh..berpeluh2 nak buat heee..
cuba ingat balik kalau kita on the verge of letting out our anger to people. Allah said

  ...those who swallow their anger...

(3:134)

one of the characteristics of people of Jannah. Allah said 'swallow' because ppl shouldn't even be able to detect the anger on your face. kalau marah, sstgh org muka die akn merah padam smpaikn org tanya, "tgh marah ke?" ppl shouldn't e able to ask you that question. that's the meaning of swallowing our anger.

sabar untuk tak hemburkan segala kata2 kesat kat org lain. 

haaa memang teruji la sgt bila dduk kt rumah dgn adik2. salah sikit nak marah. ada je yg xkena. padahal

"Ramadhan itu adalah bulan sabar, sedang sabar itu pahalanya adalah syurga.."

(riwayat abu khuzaimah dr Salman r.a)

sabar dalam hadapi dugaan. sabar dalam ternanti2 sesuatu yang kita nak. because we know, and we believe  Allah xsegerakan benda yg kita nak tu because He knows we don't need it yet or that He holds it for something much better. 

so, sabar DI. 

sangatlah kena bersabar :)

kita bukan camni :) mulut tu kecikkn n mata, xyah la bulatkn sgt. sepet pon comel ap

Erti Hidup pada memberi

in life, we want all sorts of things.
what if, for a change, we give instead of wanting to receive?

:)

syukur bila dapat memberi.
syukur bila dapat buat org senyum.
syukur bila dapat buat org gembira.

tambah2 lagi, syukur bila Allah redha dgn apa yang kita buat.

you. yes, you.

sometimes we forget. how much pain we had to endure during this journey of a lifetime. we forget the tears that we shed during our darkest hour.
because He had replaced all of that with something much more...argh, can't find the right word.
something that makes all of the craziest moments fades away. all that's left is nothing but a faded memory.

in life, people come and go. but those who managed to take away your anger, pain, sadness, they're one of the greatest gift.

thank you for being you.
thank You for giving me the chance to have a minute, an hour, days, years to know these great people.

doesn't makes sense right?
haha. well, u can read between the lines if you're one of them :)

a period of silence

Nak share, insyaAllah :)

a period of silence. when a distance between two or more people has grown. when no words are exchanged, let alone thoughts. emotionally and physically. we felt something is missing, that the piece of a loose string is becoming thinner and thinner.
We need words of comfort. We seek but couldn't find it.

Bila Rasulullah s.a.w dapat wahyu yang first skali, he was scared. First time jumpa malaikat Jibrail. sampaikan bila baginda pulang ke rumah, Rasulullah saw minta diselimutkan oleh Khadijah. "selimutkanlah daku," Rasulullah kata.
But at the same time, he fell in love with Allah. He found what he has been searching for, after all those times alone which he had spent in the cave. Allah had chosen him for a reason. For what he has been, and for what he will become.
Tapi, selepas tu Allah tangguhkn wahyu untuk nabi yang sangat kita cintai nie. Kenapa ye? Allah buat mcm tu sebab nak buang perasaan takut dalam hati Rasulullah saw dan untuk dia rasa rindunya dekat Allah. nak terima something special dari Allah. ye la, bila kita xdapat khabar berita dari orang yang kita syg, family and akhawat2 kita, mesti kita tertanya2 kenapalah dia xcontact ak lama sangat dah nie...
mcm tu jugak Rasulullah saw. Imagine, 6 to 9 months without any words from Him. Tapi Allah tu Maha Bijaksana. Dengan penantian yang lama ni, Rasulullah saw dah jadi semakin yakin bahawa dia rasul Allah. no doubt anymore. cuma waktu tu, Rasulullah rasa cam Allah dah tak sayang kat dia. "did I do something wrong?"
Kalau kita, mungkin dalam situasi macam nie kita point finger to the other person. "Kenapa lah dia ni xcall ak. Dah xigt kat orang la tu.Busy la sgt." Itu la, ini lah. Dia xtelefon, dia yang bersalah.
Why didn't we call that person first? Mungkin kita yang xigt kt dia in the first place.
Rasulullah waktu tu sedih sangat. tapi dia xsalahkan Allah. Rasulullah salahkn diri sendiri, takut kalau dalam tempoh tu dia ada buat benda yang Allah tak suka. DI tak boleh nak bayangkn macam mana Rasulullah cope at that time :(

Jom kita reflect.
berapa lama kita xpegang quran? mungkin dalam bulan Ramadhan yang penuh dgn barakah nie kita ambil masa utk try baca at least a page or two after solat, insyaAllah.
tapi before this? after this?
rasa x nakkkk sangat baca quran? rindu dkt love letter Allah?
Alhamdulillah sgt2 kalau Allah bagi perasaan tu :)
take time not only to read, but to understand. setiap benda yang Allah kasi kita baca, mungkin Allah nak bagi solution kt kita.

kita xperlu pun melalui satu tempoh masa yang Allah xde dgn kita mcm Rasulullah had experienced. Kita, quran dah ada depan mata. tunggu utk diselak je helaian2 die :)

may we not take His words for granted, insyaAllah :)

With everything that is happening to our brothers and sisters worldwide, i think its time to go back to the basic.

Tak tau la kenapa tp dua tiga hari DI asyik dapat ayat psl sebaik2 penolong and sbaik2 pelindung utk kita.
Maybe Allah nak ingatkn seteruk mana the situation we're all in, Allah ada.

We all heard about Save Maryam in Indonesia, the brutal killings in Syria, Palestine, Burma to name a few.
Jom kita sama2 manfaatkan ramadhan nie, kita guna senjata org mukmin, DU'A.

Include them in our prayers. Let Allah sends His army to help them insyaAllah.
pray that they are strengthened everytime they have to fight for Islam.

our hearts go to all of them, our brothers n sisters.

Tetapi hanya Allahlah pelindungmu, dan Dia penolong yang terbaik
