ON THE EVE OF GOING SOMEWHERE







Photos - to inspire you admiring God's wonders.



Salams,

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful.

I love, love reading. In fact, books are my first loves, follow by the seasides and the sunsets. Thus I love to read blogs which post things that funny, sad, wise, angry and angst. Owh the love story is always in my top list - but written in a very beautiful way. If you read the classical writing penned by LM Montgomery, Louisa May Alcott, Johanna Spyri for examples, you will understand what I'm trying to tell. I absolutely detest the modern love stories - pornography in disguise, under the name of art and literature.

Thus, for those who write their daily experiences with gusto - I heart you.

I go to the carboots again today, out of boredom and listlessness at first, then I remember I want to get something for Anis and her children. To Seaham in the afternoon, but the rains decide to amuse themselves by falling heavily on us, on the day that I decide to shop with devotion! Many sellers have packed and headed home, the only ones who left are braved enough waiting in the freezing cold for ardent buyers. And guess what? I manage to buy five toys that cost me 10 pence each. Even though it could be fallen under second, or third or fourth hands, it still looks new. I doubt I will get the same price if I were in Malaysia.

I like this ayat. Owh, I like many verses too, but this ayat gives you the highest hopes aiii? I hope it manages to reinforce our imaan, by believing that when we follow the orders, InsyaAllah, the highest grade of Jannah i.e Firdaus is ours.

"Sesungguhnya laki-laki dan perempuan yang muslim, laki-laki dan perempuan yang mukmin, laki-laki dan perempuan yang tetap dalam ketaatannya, laki-laki dan perempuan yang benar, laki-laki dan perempuan yang sabar, laki-laki dan perempuan yang khusyuk, laki-laki dan perempuan yang bersedekah, laki-laki dan perempuan yang berpuasa, laki-laki dan perempuan yang memelihara kehormatannya, laki-laki dan perempuan yang banyak menyebut (nama) Allah, Allah telah menyediakan untuk mereka ampunan dan pahala yang besar "- Al-Ahzab 32

We were talking about our nation's predicaments during the journey to Seaham. One thing I love about the senior sisters here are the informative conversations that we have. The gamblings are made legal in Malaysia, a laughable as well as an unbelievable economic action. Glancing at wikipedia, there are only few countries that adopt gamblings as legal, but heavily control it. They are not the nations that declares Islam as their official religion, unlike us. Do thou know that Malaysia is the world's largest Islamic banking and financial centre? Ironic, isn't it?




Must dash!
Love, as always.










MOTHERS AND TEACHERS

Salams,

Happy Mother's Day. I forgot the date, but for me who constantly 'sms'ing Mum, it makes no difference.

Happy Teacher's Day. Since I am in the academic world for my entire life, I need no reminder to remind me what impacts the teachers have. Bloggers who write posting worthy of gold also are teachers. And I have met my greatest teacher so far, alhamdulillah, who teaches me that kindness is much more priceless than anything in the world. Much true to what Agatha Christie's writing - the grown-up emotions - pity, sympathy and understanding - are for the matured adults only. Only children know love and hate. Let's be the greatest adults, shall we, pray to Allah swt that we eventually graduate from childhood to adulthood with a great success. However, please retain some of the wonderful traits that children posssess - the ability to laugh, wonder, curious and learn without restrain.

Yesterday I meet some of the people that have become my teachers informally. Mahyudin and Min and her family and having lunch at Ustazah Hamidah family. Will repay their kindness later, insyaAllah.

And now let's pray dhuha, shall we.

“Kekasihku Rasullullah SAW telah berwasiat kepadaku tiga perkara, aku tidak meninggalkannya, iaitu ; supaya aku tidak tidur melainkan setelah mengerjakan witir, dan supaya aku tidak meninggalkan dua rakaat solat Dhuha kerana ia adalah sunat awwabin, dan berpuasa tiga hari daripada tiap-tiap bulan”

(Hadis riwayat Al-Bukhari dan Muslim)



In the meantime, please enjoy few photos of spring.
