Assalamualaikum....

Sebuah cerita buat pembaca yang budiman....

Dan datanglah dari hujung kota seorang lelaki dengan bergegas-gegas. Dia berkata, "Wahai kaumku! Ikutlah utusan-utusan itu, ikutlah orang yang tiada meminta sesuatu balasan kepadamu dan mereka adalah orang2 yang mendapat petunjuk.

Not every flower can represent love

Assalamualaikum....

Dear My Beloved Readers,

Let me share with you about a beautiful phrase sent by my friend......

"Not every flower can represent love, but roses did it
Not every tree can stand thirst, but cactus did it
Not all Dai’e stay istiqomah, may ALLAH let us did it"

My 26th Birthday

Assalamualaikum....

Yesterday was my birthday, 8 December. My 26th Birthday. I were at offshore yesterday with the rough sea and felt a little bit unwell due to period pain and etc. Thank to Allah for giving me strength and happiness. During that difficult moment, in the late of evening, both team at BNV-A and BNP-A abled to complete our job. I was helping at BNP-A together with a few colleagues. I considered it as birthday gift from Allah the Almighty.

As yesterday is my birthday, I'm received a lot of sms from my family members and my dear friends. Thanks to Salwa, Diyana, Ila, Amalina, Cinet, Rozi, Jid, Ain & Yunus. Thanks to Ju, Liza, Dilah & Ila for together wished Happy Birthday to me over the phone when I just came back from offshore yesterday.

Selamat Menyambut Maal Hijrah 1432 H

Assalamualaikum…..

Air sungai yang mengalir - sejuk dan indah

Buat semua pembaca budiman, saya ucapkan Salam Maal Hijrah 1432 H. Tinggalkan perkara lagho dan tidak berfaedah dan marilah kita berhijrah kepada tingkah laku dan perbuatan yang lebih baik.

Seperti isi tazkirah seorang ukhti di kuliah Subuh pada pagi kelmarin (Ahad). Orang yang berhijrah itu ibarat air sungai yang sentiasa mengalir – bersih, suci dan bermanfaat untuk seluruh kehidupan. Orang yang tidak mahu dan tidak berani untuk berhijrah adalah seperti air kolam yang bertakung-stagnant dan tidak ke mana. So, mahu berhijrah???

Menarik Mengenai Ibnu Sina

Assalamualaikum...

3 hari lepas naqibah saya share tentang kehebatan system pendidikan Islam. Sistem pendidikan Islam di zaman kegemilangan Islam telah melahirkan ramai para ilmuwan. Cthnya : Ali bin Abi Talib r.a, Aisyah binti Abu Bakar r.a, Umar Abdul Aziz dan Ibnu Sina. Semua yg naqibah saya sebut, saya sudah baca biografi hidup mereka dan saya memang mempunyai buku mengenai kisah mereka di library kecil di dalam bilik saya. Cuma Ibnu Sina, saya tidak tahu mendalam mengenai beliau, lalu semalam saya telah search mengenai beliau di internet. Apakah keistimewaan beliau:

1. Lahir pada tahun 980 M atau 370 H
2. Hafaz 30 juzuk Quran pada usia 10 tahun
3. Menjadi doctor pada usia 18 tahun

Meet Kak Shida

My nephew (Fayyadh) with his beloved teacher Ustazah Murshida

Assalamualaikum….

Alhamdulillah, semalam saya berkesempatan untuk beraya di rumah someone yang meaningful to my life. One of my turning point. It was about last four years, in the early year 2007. Soon after finished my study and waiting for secure job that suit my degree, I was applied for work in an Islamic private school in Kota Bharu. There, I met her. She was the headmistress at that school. She is the one who taught me on the good akhlak (behavior) of a muslimah, she is the one who taught me to live in a modesty life, she who taught me to be firm, patient and happy.

My journey back home for AidilAdha

Assalamualaikum….

Alhamdulillah, I have arrived at my home for Aidiladha celebration on yesterday evening. It was a very nice journey back home. There were two coincident during yesterday journey.

1. I get a new friend. Her name is Iqlima.

Perkongsian Bersama Raudhatul Sakinah

Assalamualaikum….

Jumaat mlm, saya telah menghadiri satu perkongsian bersama Ummi Ros, Ibu Yus and the team, iaitu pengurus rumah Raudhatul Sakinah. Saya begitu kagum dgn semangat mereka. Mmg susah untuk saya gambarkan di sini betapa bersemangatnya mereka memberi ucapan dan melontarkan pandangan pada mlm itu. Jiwa2 mereka amat segar dan muda seperti seorg pemuda yang sgt bersemangat dan berdedikasi. Mereka juga amat santai dan mesra.

Pengajaran yang saya dapat dari perkongsian tersebut ialah saya juga harus bersemangat dalam menjalankan tugas saya sebagai jurutera elektrikal. I need to do more visit to MCOT facility to see and to understand how the distribution system it is. Jika Ummi Ros dan Ibu Yus berjaya dalam bidang mereka, saya juga ingin berjaya dalam bidang yang saya ceburi sekarang. Naqibah saya menaikkan lagi semangat saya dengan mengatakan dia suka dengan kerjayanya di syarikat ini. Naqibah saya juga seorang jurutera….:), sama seperti saya.

Ayat yang memotivasikan Raudhatul Sakinah untuk terus berdiri sampai ke hari ini....

Dan (ingatlah) ketika suatu umat di antara mereka berkata, "Mengapa kamu menasihati kaum yang dibinasakan atau diazab Allah dengan azab yang sangat keras?" Mereka menjawab, "Agar kami mempunyai alasan (lepas tanggungjawab) kepada Tuhanmu dan agar mereka bertakwa."

Surah Al-A'raf (Ayat 164)

Learn from nature that created by Allah

Assalamualaikum...

Betapa indahnya alam ciptaan Allah, pokok2, anak sungai, air terjun, serangga dsb, Subhanallah, Allah Maha Berkuasa Mencipta sesuatu dan penciptaan-Nya amatlah teliti dan halus....

Kami amat menghargai alam ciptaan Allah. Sempena hari cuti TYT Sarawak, kami telah berpicnic di Lambir National Park, Miri. Program ini juga dapat menyihatkan badan kami dan menguatkan fizikal kami. Salah satu ciri muslim yang baik adalah yang sihat tubuh badannya…..

Sesungguhnya dalam penciptaan langit dan bumi, dan pergantian malam dan siang terdapat tanda-tanda (kebesaran Allah) bagi orang yang berakal. (yaitu) orang-orang yang mengingat Allah sambil berdiri, duduk atau dalam keadaan berbaring, dan mereka memikirkan tentang penciptaan langit dan bumi (seraya berkata), Ya Tuhan kami, tidaklah Engkau menciptakan semua ini sia-sia; Mahasuci Engkau, lindungilah kami dari azab neraka. 

(Surah Ali-Imran : Ayat 190-191)

Ingin Lebih Menghargai Masa

Assalamualaikum….

 

Resolusi saya pada hari ini, saya ingin menjadi seorang yang lebih menghargai masa, tidak ingin membazir masa dengan aktiviti2 tidak berfaedah seperti berbual kosong, membicara dan memikirkan benda2 yang remeh, window shopping yg keterlaluan dsb.

Menjaga Akhlak Pergaulan Muslimin dan Muslimah

Salam....

Mlm ini saya sempat membaca satu artikel di http://www.iluvislam.com/ mengenai cinta kampus. Satu inti penting yang saya dpt ambil dari artikel tersebut ialah kepentingan menjaga akhlak pergaulan di antara muslimin dan muslimah terutama bagi orang yang ingin membawa risalah dakwah.

It's must be beyond than that....

Assalamualaikum....

Last two days, there was someone came to our office give leadership talk. This guy is someone important in the company and he is already work for the company for 30 years. His talk/speech is very inspiring me....There were a lot of lesson learnt that I can take for his speech. The way his presenting his speech also very casual, relax and engaging.

It's motivated me. One point that I want to highlight here is your vision working in the company must be beyond than I want to make a living for my family or I want to mencari rezeki yang halal. He reminded me the things that I recently forgot which is our vision of working must be beyond than that. We must set a vision like I want to improve myself, I want to improve my family or I want to improve the company.

Relates that three vision to myself.

1. 
   
   Yes, vision no 1 - I want to improve myself. I want to be a competent Electrical Engineer that can contributes to society and ummah. Lately, I a little bit demotivated due to my hardtime at offshore during construction activities of one project. But, his speech raise back my enthusiasm level. When other people or my inner feeling said it is not good for woman working at offshore, ignore it. My true mission is not working in offshore or plant but it is beyond than that. If I'm not going to site, how I want to develop myself as competent engineer? I need to be patient and passion.
2. 
   
   Vision no. 2 also true for myself - I want to improve my family. Yes, I want to develop a better life for my family. Better house, better mindset and better culture. I want all my younger brothers, nephews and nieces grow up with knowledge and good behaviour.
3. 
   
   Vision no. 3 - I want to improve the company. Yes, it is there in my internal feeling, however, for the time being, practically I feel a little bit difficult to do this as I'm still new-less experience and knowledge. May be I already done it but I didn't realize it.....Hmmm...may be by doing cost saving by challenging the over specification given  by supplier. I'm working in one more project right now which is developing load list and power study for one of the offshore platform. I'm doing it in-house without engaging consultant. However, I'm a little bit worry of unable to complete it because I do not really know how to use the software (SKM). Hihihi....hopefully, I can do that....

Last two words that I caught from him "Benchmark yourself against the best of the best and Inspires Yourself 1st Before You Want to Inspire Others"....Wow!!!Amazing.

I'm in Shah Alam now, having UPS FAT this morning at factory. I will be back tonight and enjoy my weekends in Miri. This weekends, I have a few apppoinments beraya (Celebrate Eid) in Ina's house, beraya di rumah Kunaz, beraya together with my IKRAM's friend. IKRAM is a NGO, it is not my boyfiend...hehe and usrah. That why I cannot spend my time with my sister's family and my friend in KL.

Start fasting

Salam....

Today is my first day fasting in Syawal's month. I need to replace a few days that I unable to do in Ramadhan month. In the late few years, I like to replace my Ramadhan's fasting as earlier as possible because may be I don't want being too late...worry later I'm being sick or etc....My breakfast today will be the simplest one, fry egg, rice and serunding daging....hehehe, I'm too lazy to buy food at the nearby restaurant. A simple fasting breakfast is good because it will remind us on the difficulty faced by our Muslim brother/sister in other countries. Think of brother in Pakistan who get caught in flood tragedy, think of brother in Pattani who get caught in war, think of brother in Kashmir, Chinese, Palestin and so on..... 

For us, in Malaysia, it is difficult for us to have a simple breakfast because we have money to buy a lot of foods and the food's supplies are also always available. We also not use to live with a simple life....we have been  growing up with a lot of comfort things....I myself also feel that I cannot live in simple's life but lately I try to teach myself for that subject...Alhamdulillah, my working experience at offshore and what I learnt in usrah had been taught me a lot.

Catatan Aidilfitri 2010

Gambar rabbit di rumah saya di Kelantan

Salam….

Happy Eid Mubarak to all…..

This year I have a meaningful Aidilfitri celebration with my family in Kelantan, how about you all? I hope all of you have a nice Eid’s celebration too…

During last Eid, I met my future sister in law for the first time at her home together with my parents and a few of my family’s members. We didn’t speak much, but from her appearance I knew she is a very a good girl. For me, she is beautiful, polite and knows how to take care herself. She is one year older than me. She is a teacher in a school in Kelantan. This December, insyaallah my elder brother will be engaged.

During last Eid also, I visited my younger brother’s friend’s house in Setiu, Terengganu. I’m happy when I know my brother has good friend. My brother stays at his friend’s house for 3-4 months because he having internship in Setiu now. He

Bumi Cinta

Assalamualaikum....

Seuntai kata-kata buat pembasah jiwa......

"Bagi orang beriman, di mana pun dia dapat sujud dan rukuk kepada Allah, maka dia telah menemui bumi cintanya.Lantaran itu, sesungguhnya dunia ini adalah bumi cinta bagi pencinta Allah Taala. Bumi cinta inilah yang akan menghantarkan mereka ke bumi cinta yang lebih kekal abadi dan lebih mulia iaitu syurga Allah."

Dipetik dari Novel Bumi Cinta

Kegembiraan 9 Ramadhan

Salam....

Alhamdulillah, today is 9 Ramadhan. I'm quite happy today. Novel 'Bumi Cinta' written by Habiburrahman El-Shirazy really boost up my mood. By reading it, it taught me a lot, how to face the world without jeopardizing the principles and values that Islam taught me. I have promoted this novel to two of my dearest friends, Jid and Sukma. Hehehe....they are really keen to read it. I'm a good promoter right???

Melihat sesuatu dari neraca akhirat

Assalamualaikum.....

Just nk share mcm mana untuk mendapat kekuatan untuk menegakkan kebenaran dan menegah kebatilan dalam diri kita sendiri. Kdg2 kita tahu tentang letaknya sesuatu perkara itu (yang mana benar dan yang mana salah), namun sbb kita terikut2 dengan nafsu diri sendiri, hasutan syaitan, atau takut org kata kita tk moden dsb, kita jadi malu untuk berbuat yg benar dan cenderung membuat yang salah. Mengenai hal ini, seorg ukhti menyentuh hati saya dgn kata-katanya yg penuh bermakna, "Lihatlah sesuatu dengan neraca akhirat, jgn lihat dengan neraca dunia. Biarlah org nk kata apa, yg penting kita melakukan sesuatu yang diredhai Allah". Kata2 nya membuat kan saya berfikir dan menguatkan lagi keazaman saya untuk membaiki diri untuk mencapai dua tujuan hidup yang utama seperti yang digariskan dalam Al-Quran iaitu untuk beribadah (Surah Az-Dzariyat : Ayat 56) dan untuk menjadi khalifah (Surah Al-Baqarah : Ayat 30).

Jaulah kami ke Bintulu

Assalamualaikum.....

This post a little bit backdated...hehe. Last few weeks, I drove to Bintulu with a few young sisters. I was really happy during that time because I like 'jalan2 = travel' and I like to mix around with people especially the highly motivated one and good people who I can take lesson learnt from that people. That trip was very nice and the girls are really cheerful. The program in Bintulu is simple but with full of meaning (ringkas, padat dan santai)

Menyelesaikan Urusan Diri Sendiri

Salam....

Alhamdulillah....today, I managed to settle a few things that related with myself. One of that is I have bought my flight ticket for Hari Raya Aidil Adha which will be celebrated in this coming November. I was quite happy for that because I have prolonged it for so long already because I had problem to buy it online. Alhamdulillah, I bought it at Air Asia counter today. I am quite tired today may be because I was fasting, I took a short nap after Maghrib prayer and after woke up, bathed and prayed Isyak, I felt refreshed again:).

Orang yang mengajar

Salam...

Just to share kata2 Saidina Ali Karamallahu Wajhah..

Orang yang mengajar adalah orang yang belajar.

(p/s: I managed to finish read two books, Kisah Saidina Ali bin Abu Talib dan Kisah Salahuddin Al-Ayubi in this wiken)

My visit to BNQ

Salam...

Yesterday, I had visited BNQ. I'm a little bit shy because I'm only woman there. But, my coach and a few others peoples really gave their best hospitality to me. My purpose of site visit yesterday is to learn on electrical and to handover a few documents for my projects. Yeah....I had achieved both, they also taught and let me synchronised the HV genset. I also abled to help my colleague at office by conveying her questionaire to Electrical OT.

Kuliah Zuhur (17/06/2010)

Assalamualaikum....

Sedikit perkongsian mengenai kuliah Zuhur di surau office yang saya hadiri 2 hari lepas. Di dalam Al-Quran itu terdapat 5 jenis cabang ilmu iaitu seperti yang disenaraikan di bawah:-

1. Ilmu tentang hukum-hukum
2. Ilmu hujah tentang kebenaran Islam
3. Ilmu tentang nikmat-nikmat Allah (Cth : Nikmat hidayah Allah, nikmat Allah menjadikan kita, nikmat Allah menjadikan alam ini dan sebagainya)
4. Ilmu ttg hari pembalasan dan cerita2 ttg umat2 terdahulu
5. Ilmu yg berkaitan dengan kematian dan perkara2 selepas kematian

Itu saja sedikit perkongsian, maaf tidak dpt berkongsi byk sbb semasa kuliah saya tiba2 jadi mengantuk dan tidak dpt memberi tumpuan walaupun saya cuba untuk mendengar. Jadi yg saya sempat catat adalah sedikit sahaja. Yg lain semua dah lupa.

Ikhlas & Doa

Assalamualaikum....

Sedikit perkongsian mengenai melatih diri menjadi ikhlas:-

1. Sentiasa membaca Al-Quran walaupun sebaris ayat
2. Sentiasa berzikir walaupun dengan zikir2 yg pendek seperti Subhanallah & Alhamdulillah
3. Cuba untuk khusyuk dlm solat
4. Latih diri untuk berinfak

Alhamdulillah, inilah intipati yg saya berjaya kutip semasa usrah (bicara petang) di office ptg tadi.

Muhasabah Diri di Bulan Rejab Tahun 1431 H

Assalamualaikum…..

Bulan Rejab menjelma lagi, hari ini sudah 2 Rejab 1431 H. Umat Islam disunatkan berpuasa pada bulan Rejab. Bagi diri saya sendiri, saya masih belum berjaya untuk berpuasa sunat Rejab. Insyaallah, saya akan cuba berpuasa esok. Berpuasa adalah amat bagus bagi saya kerana saya dpt menjimatkan masa. Masa makan tengahari boleh saya gunakan untuk membaca. Fokus saya adalah untuk membaca Asas Fardhu Ain karangan Ustaz Sulaiman Endut, Fiqh Sirah Jilid 1 karangan Ustaz Said Ramadhan Al-Buti dan menghafaz Juz Amma’. Ini merupakan preparation untuk Kuiz Agama di Kota Kinabalu pada bulan July nanti.

Perjalanan Pulang ke Miri

Bersama teman baik Majidah Muhamad semasa ke KL beberapa minggu lepas

Assalamualaikum....

Alhamdulillah, setelah bercuti selama lebih seminggu (28/5 - 7/6) di kampung, hari ini saya akan kembali ke Miri untuk bertugas dan paling penting adalah untuk membina diri utk menjadi insan yang berkualiti, bermanfaat utk orang lain dan insan yang diredhai Allah.

Mengimbas kembali pada mulanya, saya tk mahu pulang ke Pasir Mas (kampung) pada 28 Mei lalu kerana pada 28 Mei itu, saya ada satu program pembinaan diri di Miri. Saya cuba beberapa kali utk menukar tiket, namun semua tiket sudah penuh dibooking. Tiket pulang paling awal yg ada adalah pada 1 jun, yg saya rasakan terlalu lewat utk pulang pada mlm 1 jun.

Beranikah anda????

Assalamualaikum.....

Hari ini saya ingin mengajukan soalan ringkas sahaja untuk diri saya sendiri dan pembaca semua, iaitu Beranikah Anda????

Berani untuk apa???

Berani untuk keluar dari mesyuarat, semata2 untuk menunaikan solat. Ini kerana saya memerhatikan diri saya sendiri selalu lewat untuk solat Asar kerana menghadiri mesyuarat-mesyuarat. Saya sgt terkilan sbb stkt ini saya belum berani untuk mengatakan, "Excuse me, saya nk excuse sekejap untuk solat Asar". Entahlah kenapa tk berani, may be saya lebih kisahkan tentang apa org akan kata berbanding dengan perasan takutkan Allah.Alahai sedih dgn sikap diri sendiri. Saya perlu kuat.....

Doa

Assalamualaikum....

Di kesibukan ini, hanya doa dan bacaan ayat2 Al-Quran menjadi penguat semangatku. Tidaklah sanggup aku memikul segala bebanan ini melainkan rasa cintaku terhadap agamaku.

Seungkai kata dari salah seorang idolaku, aku tidak pernah berjumpa beliau, namun apabila membaca sejarah kehidupan beliau dan doa Rabitah yang disusun oleh beliau, aku akan rasa sebak, namun aku tidak menangis kerana entah mengapa lately, air mataku terlalu sukar untuk mengalir, mungkin kerana hatiku sudah menjadi sekeras besi.

"Aku rindukan pemuda yang tidak dapat tidur malam kerana memikirkan masalah ummat"

Kata-kata As-Syahid Hassan Al-Banna

Alhamdulillah….syukran

Assalamualaikum....

Enjoy life, take every opportunity come, continuous learning & positive thinking

On top of that, practice to be a good Muslimah.

Sunset @ Betty Offshore

Assalamualaikum....

Indahnya matahari terbenam membuatkan aku terfikir kebesaran kekuasaan-Nya.

Photo taken @ Betty offshore, Miri Sarawak on 11th April 2010

Dan langit telah ditinggikan-Nya dan Dia ciptakan keseimbangan. (Ayat 7: Surah Ar-Rahman).

Tuhan (yang memelihara) dua timur (tempat terbit matahari) dan Tuhan (yang memelihara) dua barat (tempat terbenam matahari). (Ayat 17 : Surah Ar-Rahman)


Maka nikmat Tuhanmu yang manakah yang kamu dustakan? (Ayat 18 : Surah Ar-Rahman). Ayat ini diulang berulang kali di dalam Surah Ar-Rahman, menunjukkan nikmat kurniaan Allah terhadap makhluknya adalah teramat byk dan luas.

Resipi Mee Celup

Sepatutnya, mee celup tkde telur rebus, tp nmpaknya chef ini telah meng'alter' sedikit bhn2 nya.

Assalamualaikum....

One of my favorite food. I think it only available in Kelantan, yg pakar dlm masak mee celup adalah Kelantan keturunan Siam….hehe. My friend Jid (yg ada darah Siam) kata, mee celup yg paling best adalah kat Pasir Mas which is at my hometown. Pasir Mas adalah salah satu bandar yg hampir dengan Golok, Thailand.

Mee celup adalah berbeza dgn mee sup sbb ianya tidak dimasak, mee celup hanya direndam dengan kuah soup apabila kuahnya sudah masak. Semua bhn2 nya tidak dimasak bersama2 kuahnya, termasuk sayur kangkung dan ikan bilis. So, mmg fresh la mee celup ni.

Yg kena ada dlm mee celup adalah kangkung, cili hijau jeruk, ikan bilis goreng, kacang tumbuk. Tak sabarnya nk balik Pasir Mas.


Cara-cara membuatnya:

Terlebih dahulu sediakan sup. Rebus perut lembu (or tulang lembu) dan daging lembu sehingga empuk. Rebus bersama rempah sup (bunjut).

Cara-cara menyediakan mee celup

Keluarkan perut lembu dan daging lembu dari kuah sup yang telah masak, hiris perut lembu dan daging lembu halus-halus, tapi jgn halus sgt. Celupkan mee kuning, bihun, kuew tiew ke dalam kuah sup, kemudian angkat dan toskan. Lepas tu, masukkan dalam mangkuk dan tambahkan kangkung,kacang tumbuk, ikan bilis goreng, bawang putih goreng, cili jeruk, perasa (garam,gula dan serbuk perasa), daun bawang dan perahkan sedikit limau nipis. Last sekali, curahkan kuah sup (panas) tadi ke atas campuran bahan2 mee celup di atas.

p/s: Tulis resipi macam pandai masak, padahal nk goreng ayam pon tk pass. Actually, saya selalu tgk makcik2 kat Kelantan menyediakan mee celup, mmg ada kelas. Cara penyediaannya nampak so fresh.

Aku rindukan sahabat2 ku...

Saya dan Leen semasa farewell Mr Saheed

Assalamualaikum....

Akhirnya, kerjaku dekat Betty berjaya di'commission' last Sunday (11/04/2010).

Isnin itu terus masuk office, masuk office terus cari kawan2....Argh...rindunya dekat kawan perempuan. 9 hari kat offshore tk jumpa kawan perempuan pun.Asyik jumpa kawan lelaki jer. Letak jer beg, terus cari Cinet. Kat tmpat Cinet, terjumpa ngn Ira sekali. Ajak diorg pergi breakfast. Time tu diorg tgh mkn roti. Tp saya rasa diorg pon rindu kat saya, sbb tu diorg setuju nk spend time breakfast with me that morning.

Time lunch pergi lunch dengan Leen, rindu kat Leen jgk....Leen kat teruknya kulit Rubi. Aku gelak2 jer. Leen ckp lagi kesian kat kulit. Hrmm...apa yang Leen ckp tu betul. After 9 days dekat offshore, mmg kulit muka dan tangan rasa mcm bertambah gelap dan kasar. Sukma pon kata mcm tu jgk...."Kulit akak makin gelap". Tapi tkpela, tk kisah sgt pon, nnti okla balik tu. Korbankan kulit demi mendapat ilmu dan pengalaman berharga sebagai seorg engineer.

Chatting dengan Salwa jgk through communicator.

Ptg tu pergi jumpa Ummu Uwais, tk sabar lagi nk jumpa dia since dah lama tk jumpa dia sejak beberapa bulan lepas. Ummu Uwais demam ptg tu, kesian dia. Tapi dia berseri2, maklumlah sudah bergelar seorg isteri. Perjumpaan dengan Ummu Uwais seperti biasa adalah amat menenangkan hatiku. Kata2 dia membakar semangat saya untuk bertambah rajin bekerja.

Saya bercerita dekat dia pengalaman di offshore. Saya ckp yg saya struggle to do the best while I'm at offshore sbb saya nk tunjuk dekat masyarakat yg 'Muslimah Can Do it'. Tapi dalam masa yg sama, saya tertanya2 diri saya sendiri, adakah jalan yang saya pilih ini betul, bolehkah seorg muslimah menceburkan diri dalam dunia pekerjaan yang dipelopori oleh golongan lelaki.

Jawapan Ummu Uwais menenangkan saya, “Jangan membazirkan kepakaran mu. Kita bekerja bukan untuk mencari duit semata-mata tetapi juga untuk menyumbang kepada pembangunan ummah. Cuba bayangkan semua wanita yang bekerja itu adalah wanita yang tidak mempunyai fikrah agama, tentulah tiada orang yang hendak membetulkan kepincangan masyakarat. Memang kita tidak menyampaikan dakwah semasa bekerja, tetapi sekurang2 nya kita menunjukkan contoh yang baik seperti menutup aurat, menjaga solat, bekerja dengan jujur dan sebagainya” Masyaallah, jawapan Ummu Uwais telah membuka mataku. Aku siap menambah lagi, “Betul ckp Ummu, kalau pasal jaga anak nanti, kita outsource la dekat maid, bagus apa dptlah maid itu mencari rezki”. Ummu Uwais tergelak2 dgn jawapan saya.

Selasa pergi offshore lagi untuk clear punchlist. Balik offshore, lepas solat dan makan, terus call sahabat baik since dekat university, Majidah. Cerita itu dan ini sampai pukul 11 mlm. Sahabat saya itu kata bila saya menjadi seorg isteri dia percaya saya akan menjadi isteri yang baik….Hrmm…saya antara percaya ngn tidak kata2 dia sbb saya rasa mcm saya ada ciri menjadi isteri yang suka membebel. Hehe. Dia kata dia believe saya tahu tanggungjawab seorg isteri dan dia nampak saya seorg yg suka berterus terang kalau ada yg saya tk puas hati.

Arini saya ambik cuti, sbb penat. Tak tahu kenapa penat. Org lain pergi offshore jugak, tp tkde la penat sampai kena ambil cuti. May be saya tk biasa lagi kot kerja kuat. Saya pergi keluarkan duit ASB sbb nk byr down payment kereta yang saya beli untuk Ayah. Tk sangka duit ASB saya dah byk, tiap2 bulan buat potongan gaji. Even dah keluarkan td, masih ada lagi baki.Lepas tu pergi Emart beli brg2 sket, kemudian nampak CD Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, terus beli. Pergi kedai buku beli majalah Nur dan akhbar I Luv Islam. Sapa nk pinjam CD, majalah dan akhbar, bagi tau la ye. Happy to lend it to all of you.

Best tgk Ketika Cinta Bertasbih, watak utama Anna Althafunnisa, cantik sgt!!!. Cuma saya susah sket nk pronounce Althafunnisa, apa ek maksudnya??

Experience during construction activities

Thanks Cinet for the good company. Sorry for bringing you berpanas di bawah cahaya matahari

PSALM 1 - the vessel that brought project materials from Labuan

Assalamualaikum....

I just came back from Betty offshore after 3 days 2 nights staying onboard. Perasaan saya sewaktu staying onboard hanya Tuhan yang tahu. Berperang dengan masalah kerja dan berperang dengan diri saya sendiri.

Pengalaman baru menjaga construction activities dekat site. I tried to observe whether the contractor that work under my supervision perform their prayer or not. I could not see their pray, I asked my friend whether I should ask them whether they have performed their daily prayer or not. For the first day, I didn't dare to ask. Back to Baronia quarter, I discussed with my friend what I should do in order to instill the true Islamic environment in the heart of our team since all of us are Muslims. I came to a conclusion, I must be brave.

For the second day, I have asked two of them to perform their prayer. Today is the third day, I have dare to say to all of them that, "Daily prayer is important in our life". One of them said I'm not pray, but saya terharu bila dia berkata "Saya suka tgk org yg sembahyang". Saya balas balik "Baiklah, kalau mcm tu setiap kali tiba waktu solat, saya akan ingatkan kamu supaya solat" kata saya sambil tersenyum.

Esok saya berhenti rehat 1 hari kerana ada problem sedikit dari segi materials.

I want to say thanks to Betty operation for their hospitality. Thanks also to Bokor and BNQ operation for the hospitality.

Saje menulis, moga tulisan yg bermanfaat

Assalamualaikum....

Semenjak dua menjak ni, saya selalu bermuhasabah sendiri "Aku hanyalah insan biasa yang tidak mempunyai apa2. Jauhkanlah diriku dari rasa riak dan buruk sangka, moga diriku terdiri dari orang yang bersabar atas segala ujian dan orang yang hari ini nya lebih baik dari semlm"

Ptg td, semasa jumpa BPD-N in order to get his approval for project's work pack, saya terlupa mcm mana nk kira cable sizing. Huhu......That is basic and I should know it by heart, tp entahlah kenapa blur sgt td, sampai satu formula pon saya tk ingat. Malu jgk la sbb tk ingat benda yang saya sepatut ingat by heart. Nampaknya, saya perlu duduk dan merenung balik beberapa formula, concept and principles.

Actually, saya dah tertido pada pukul 8.45 p.m td tnpa makan mlm sbb saya penat sket hari ni. Hari ini byk kerja kat office, tk sempat nk g tgk org main squash ngn dart. Huhuhu. Saya tersedar balik pada pukul 11.00 p.m. Oh no, tk kemas lagi utk pergi offshore esk. Sebelum berkemas, saya meluah perasan kat blog dulu, sambil mkn nasi goreng yg saya tapau kat CTR masa balik kerja td.

Saya dah pikir lepas habis construction activities kat Betty, saya nk spend some time for myself. Nak utilize my unrecorded leave utk pergi shopping, pergi facial dan pergi beli almari cabinet kat dapur. Dah lama tk shopping sampai saya rasa baju dan tudung saya semua yg lama. Pinggan mangkuk kat dapur pon mcm tk tersusun sket, so saya nk beli satu almari kabinet utk letak pinggan mangkuk tersebut, then kat atas cabinet tu saya blh ltk oven. Sebenarnya, kat dapur rumah sewa kami ni byk brg, semua ada, kettle,rice cooker, hand mixer, blender, oven, pinggan mangkuk kalo nk buat kenduri utk sepuluh org pon boleh. Saya dah lama terpikir nk beli almari cabinet tu, tapi selalu tangguh2 atas alasan tkde duit.

Semlm saya ada beli Tafsir Al-Quran baru dengan Kak Izyan. Harga dia RM 150, tp belum byr sbb smlm masa usrah saya tk bwk duit dan tk expect pon Kak Yan ada jual tafsir tu. Saya dah 2-3 hari terpikir2 nk beli tafsir tu, saya pernah nampak masa kursus Al-Barqy kat office saya. Tapi time tu saya berkira sket, so tk jadi beli. Lepas tu, saya menyesal sbb tk beli. Tapi alhamdulillah, berjaya beli juga akhirnya. Cuma tk sempat baca lagi tafsir yang cantik dan menarik tu.

Lepas habis kerja kat Betty, saya nk cuti 3 hari la.....hehehe.1 hari utk pergi shopping, 1 hari kemas rumah dan facial, satu hari utk belek2 mana2 buku yg belum habis dibaca.

Note : Alhamdulillah, pentaque pasukan saya dpt champion for PETRONAS Miri Games. I'm part of the pentaque team, happy jgk la walaupun saya main tk terrer. Happy sbb adik saya main dgn bagus.

Belajar berkorban

Assalamualaikum...

Belajar berkorban. I will miss the trip to Similajau. While all my close friends enjoy their activities at Similajau, I will do some job at offshore. I’m really unhappy that job clash with my trip to Similajau and I try to avoid it by thinking like this and that. However, I think I should learn to accept something bitter in my life, to accept something that I don’t like. It really hard to do it because I usually will fight for what I like.

Arghh…..I wish the times moves faster and I don’t need to think about to choose Similajau or offshore anymore.

We're not post office

Assalamualaikum....

Someone has been misunderstood that quote. It does not mean of we’re not paper engineer, it mean we’re not the message forwarder like what a post office does, which it forward a message from a party to another parties.

We are the thinker, the problem solver because we’re engineer. So, when we are given a problem through an email or so on, we should try to answer that problem by finding the answer through manual, senior or so on. If we just forward that problem to other person to answer on our behalf because we are lazy to find the answer by ourselves, it means that we are not an engineer, we just a post office. Hehe.

The person that quote that statement will be leaving us soon. I inspired his way of talking, his way of adapting himself with crowd and his way of thinking about something.

Ingatan untuk diri sendiri

Assalamualaikum....

Alhamdulillah, saya masih mempunyai kesempatan dan kekuatan utk menulis di blog ini. Akhir2 ini, saya agak sibuk and 'in no mood condition'. Entah kenapa jadi 'no mood' mungkin sbb saya kecewa dengan diri sendiri.Sering kali saya ditarbiah di dlm usrah dah pelbagai program, namun kekuatan jiwa masih lagi lemah.Nampaknya, saya perlu masa yg lama utk membina kekuatan jiwa, utk betul2 memahami budaya dan tatacara hidup yg digariskan oleh Islam. Meneliti terjemahan Al-Quran adalah salah satu cara untuk menguatkan kefahaman kita terhadap ajaran Islam. Indah sekali ayat2 Al-Quran. Terjemahan ayat2 Al-Quran itu adalah amat menusuk hati bagi orang-orang yang berfikir dengan akal dan mata hati.

Salah satu yg naqibah suruh hafal adalah ayat 14, surah Ali Imran yg bermaksud:

Dijadikan terasa indah pada pandangan manusia cinta terhadap apa yang diinginkan, berupa perempuan-perempuan, anak-anak, harta benda yang bertompok dalam bentuk emas dan perak, kuda pilihan, haiwan ternak dan sawah ladang. Itulah kesenangan hidup di dunia, dan di sisi Allah-lah tempat kembali yang baik.

Salah satu lagi terjemahan ayat untuk dikongsi adalah ayat 208, Surah Al-Baqarah yg bermaksud,

Wahai orang2 beriman, masuklah kamu ke dalam Islam secara keseluruhan, dan jangan kamu ikuti langkah2 syaitan.Sungguh, ia musuh yg nyata bgmu.

Apakah maksudnya, masuk ke Islam secara keseluruhan?? Maksudnya kita harus menjadikan Islam sebagai tatacara hidup kita. Islam bukan setakat di masjid, Islam bukan setakat sembahyang, puasa, menutup aurat, tetapi Islam meliputi sistem jual beli, sistem ekonomi, sistem perbankan, sistem politik dan pemerintahan negara. Islam juga mempunyai garis panduan mengenai hubungan kejiranan, garis panduan pergaulan lelaki dengan perempuan dan sebagainya. Remember, "masuklah kamu ke dalam Islam secara keseluruhan". Jadi jgn ambil hukum Islam itu separuh2.

Islam is the way of life and every Muslim should proud because they have chosen to be a Muslim.

Lama tk update

Dear blog,

Sorry lama tk update. Saya tk sihat, terbatuk2 dan agak berserabut. Balik office selalu lewat, mkn pon tk lalu sbb batuk.Hutang2 pon baru byr hari ni sbb tk sempat nk bukak internet. Balik rumah terus tido. Arini baru rasa lega sket sbb semua hutang dah byr time office hour td through internet banking.

Tapi masih rasa tk puas hati sbb saya tk sempat nk uruskan diri saya betul2, pokok kat halaman rumah habis kuning sbb dah lama tk siram air. Miri mengalami cuaca kemarau. Buku2 yg dibeli masih belum sempat dibaca.Ilmu teknikal sbg jurutera elektrikal masih belum dpt saya kuasai. I'm not focus, I'm not firm.huhu...

Saya sedang membina diri ke arah seorg insan yg lebih baik.Insyaallah.

Today update

Assalamualaikum....

Alhamdulillah, today I'm really HAPPY and EXCITED when our department has been selected to final competition of SKO Take 5. Hehe.

I have been part of the team as 'awok-awok'.

I hope I can upload some photos of our Dikir Barat team soon.

Today, I one more time had discussion with operation regarding yesterday's project. Huhu, still confuse on that issue. I don't really understand the gist of the issue and I don't know how to present this issue later.

1st day in office after long away

Assalamualaikum...

My first day after long outstation + annual leave is hrmm....OK and worth.

I had did a few things today, the most special one is I had involved in a meeting with OPERATION regarding one of my project. I am a little bit clumsy and unable to express my idea due to my fever and flu. My brain like stop thinking.Hrmm...I don't know what happened to that teleconference meeting, I didn't really get its conclusion. Luckly, there will be another meeting tomorrow for the same project but at different area. Yg tk clear arini kena bg clear esk....Ntah pape jer aku ckp td...huhu.

I also involved in Take 5 practice today.Hrmm...I love music although I can't perform. Esk I'm not sure whether I will perform or not, if not enough people, I will be volunteer to be part of the team but if there will excess people in that team, I will be take camera video.Hehe.

Today my performance in term of ibadat is not very good. Today, I did my prayer faster, recite the doa faster and didn't read Quran at all.Huhu.

Aktiviti di kampung

Assalamualaikum....

Saja yg nk cerita pasal aktiviti saya semasa bercuti di kampung. Hari ini adalah hari ke-4 saya bercuti di rumah. Beberapa aktiviti telah dilakukan. Cthnya, gardening.Saya menyemai beberapa jenis pokok sayuran bersama anak buah saya. I teach kids(my nephews) to grow their own vegetables.....hehehe. It is a very good lesson that I taught to them. We plant kailan (kale), kangkung & cherry tomato.

I also teach my 6 years old niece how to read. My niece is a very ambitious little girl. A few times in a day, she will find me and said to me, "Su, kakak (ny niece's nickname) nk baca". After that, I will teach her how to recite 'Iqra book and Anakku book. 'Iqra' book is the basic book on how to recite Quran, while Anakku book is a set of books that used to teach children on how to read.Anakku is a proven technique that show by using these books, children able to read faster.For the time being my niece already finished her 2nd book of Anakku. There are 6 more books for her to go.

What I observed is she is quite slow in memorizing the words, she quite 'kelam kabut', however I really like her 'determination' to repetitively read those words again and again. When she recite it wrongly, I will ask her to repeat it again and again and she will not complain even in a single word. Hrm....she is very curious to learn and to do it correctly although it is quite hard for her to memorize it.

The other activity that I did yesterday was I went to Perodua Showroom with Ayah, ny nephew (Abg Ngah), Adik Lan (my 21st year old brother) and Pakcik Din (my Ayah's cousin). I want to buy a car for my Ayah. Currently, my Ayah drives an aging van that he used since my primary school. So, I think I want to give an appreciation to my Ayah by giving him a new car. Initially, I just want to buy a good secondhand car, but when thinking back that when we want to give something to other people, we must give the best prize that we really love it. So, I decided to go to new car's agent.

At that showroom, initially, I just want to buy Viva 660 cc, but that type does not has the sport rim. Then my mind upgraded to 850 cc.I asked dealer, "Did that type has power steering?". Dealer said, "That type does not has power steering". Huhuhu.....kalau macam tu saya nk yg 1000 cc la. Akhirnya, saya decide to buy 1.0 cc Viva Elite Manual. I let my father choose the color. He choosed the Solid White. Hrmmm.....hopefully bank approved my loan.Kalau bank tk approved, tk dptlah saya nk membeli buat masa sekarang.

Yesterday's evening, I went to my biological parents's house. My Ma gave me a new task which is I need to motivate my 15th years old brother to study hard for his PMR this year. Hrmm...mcm mana nk jadi pakar motivasi ni, diri sendiri pun bukan rajin sgt dulu. But, I must take that task, I will motivate him. I will use Nik Nor Madihah, the best student of Maahad Muhammadi Perempuan Kota Bharu as my role model. Madihah got 20 A for her SPM last year, she is really inspired me although I have taken my SPM last eight years. I have a book about her, just bought before going back to West Malaysia. I bought it at a shop located at a corner of Pasaraya Emart, Miri. That shop also in a row with Maybank and fast food restaurant. The title of that book is 'Nik Nor Madihah, Permata Generasi Rabbani'.

Ok, that all my story for today.

I am home

Fruit's salad is a nice dessert

Assalamualaikum....

Alhamdulillah...I'm at my home now to spend my 1 week of annual leave. Updating from my bed. Alhamdulillah, my maxis broadband is working from my bed, although my village is only located in small town of Kelantan....:)

Now....I am enjoying reading a few articles from http://www.iluvislam.com/ and http://www.productivemuslim.com/ , plus I am also replying email from office through my workforce portal.

A tip that I want to give to you today is....don't sleep after Subuh/Fajr prayer. Wake up for your Subuh prayer and stay up after that. If you don't have anything to do after Subuh prayer, you can plan what to do for that day in a piece of paper. You can reading books or blogs or reply email like what I am doing now. Or if you're a sport man or sport woman, you can go out for jogging or walking.Or if you like cooking, you can prepare breakfast for yourself, your housemates or your family members (remember....manusia yg paling baik adalah manusia yang bermanfaat kepada orang lain, sekali-kala tak salah berpenat-penat menyediakan breakfast yg enak utk org lain).

That's all from me today.....may Allah bless you always.

My Understanding On Sekularisme

Assalamualaikum....

One more heavy topic to discuss. Let's me brainstorm my understanding of secularisme.

1. The meaning of secularisme is the belief or concept that separate religion from their daily life. Dengan istilah mudah, bagi fahaman secularisme konsep beragama hanya semasa melakukan ibadat khusus sahaja seperti solat, puasa dsb, Tetapi semasa melakukan aktiviti harian yang lain seperti bekerja,berpolitik, makan, tidur, bermain dan sebagainya, konsep beragama dipisahkan atau ditinggalkan.
2. Konsep secularisme adalah bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam kerana Islam merupakan satu tatacara hidup yg meliputi segala aspek kehidupan.
3. Dalam Islam konsep beragama tidak terhad di masjid sahaja, tetapi ianya meliputi aspek tatacara perhubungan antara manusia dengan manusia, aspek ekonomi, aspek peperangan, aspek perkahwinan, aspek pekerjaan dsbnya.
4. Cth aspek perhubungan antara manusia dengan manusia yang lain (Sabda Rasulullah : Tidak sempurna iman seseorang sehingga dia mengasihi saudaranya seperti dia mengasihi dirinya sendiri)
5. Cth aspek ekonomi, Islam melarang sistem riba dalam urusan perbankan. Islam melarang peniaga menipu dalam urusan timbangan.
6. Kenapa secularisme dilarang???Ini kerana sistem secularisme akan menyebabkan kepincangan kehidupan manusia. Manusia yang lemah akan terus ditindas dan manusia yang kuat akan terus berkuasa. Dunia akan huru-hara kerana penipuan, rasuah dsbnya akan berluasa. Nasib wanita akan terancam kerana seperti yang saya katakan tadi secularisme akan memisahkan agama dari kehidupan harian, jadi hak2 wanita akan dinafikan. Cthnya hak untuk menutup aurat semasa bekerja, hak untuk dilindungi wali semasa menjadi musafir.

Jadi kesimpulannya di sini, mari lah bersama-sama kita membanteras secularisme dan cuba mengembalikan tatacara hidup seperti yang digariskan dalam Islam. I know it's hard, but let's us try it slowly. The first step may be try to perform Solat Fardhu punctually. When you hear the sound of Azan, leave all of our works, leave all of our meetings, leave all of tv programs, go to mosque/surau to pray.After perform Solat, we can continue our task.

Lecture Series from Sheikh Imran

Gambar sekadar hiasan

Assalamualaikum....

Saya masih di Hotel Legend menghabiskan SKG course saya yg berbaki 3 hari lagi. Semalam saya tidur awal sbb penat. Tidur tanpa mengerjakan solat Isyak, saya tersedar pukul 5 pagi. Bangun dan solat Isyak.Sementara tunggu Subuh, saya terpanggil menghabiskan menonton youtube (Islam dan Sistem Kewangan Antarabangsa) dan terpanggil juga untuk menulis di laman blog ini.Semalam, saya tidur tanpa menutup laptop.

Satu lecture yg menarik dr Sheikh Imran Hossein. Sesiapa yg berminat utk tgk that lecture series boleh view di sini http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oJAZgTQs3Y&feature=PlayList&p=DAA8635B60457709&index=12

From what I understood, he tried to said that nowadays money is only paper and doesn't have value at all and all of us (you & me) have been cheated by International Monetary System. Hehehe. Good point/view from him......He also said, you doesn't need PhD from London School of Economic to recognize whether we have been cheated or not?? What we need is 'Nur' in our heart. I agreed with his view, hrmm....whether you're agreed or not with his view it's up to you.

Okla....I don't want to elaborate more, watch his lecture's series at the above link and think by yourself. I want to prepare for today's class (Iron my clothes + Do class's exercise) and I want to pray Subuh.

Wassalam.

Decision That Has Been Made

Gambar sekadar hiasan dan sebaik-baik perhiasan di dunia adalah wanita solehah

Assalamualaikum....

Just a true story of myself to share with all of you.

It is not easy to get rid of jeans, fit blouse, small size t-shirt, tudung bawal and small size tudung in my life. I have lived with them for almost 25 years in my life. It was a big decision that I have made. One day in the almost year end of 2009, may be in the month of August or September, I have decided….I gonna to keep all my jeans and fit blouse away from my wardrobe. I took out all my jeans and fit blouses from my wardrobe and pack them in a few boxes. In the Christmas last year, I donated them to the needy families around Miri. It was a fast and instant decision that I have made.

In my first day of wearing big tudung, I felt uncomfortable, I feel my clothes is not tidy….tk kemas, besar sgt. But I tried to pujuk my heart, I am a Muslimah, it is better to wear a loose clothes. As the time goes, I feel comfortable with it and I feel I have lived with it for a long time.However, it just end of last year, mean just 5 months ago.

For the first week wearing big tudung, I only have two big tudung that I bought in a tudung shop in Miri. That shop only has a few choices of big tudung and I bought two of them. Their colors are light green and cream. I have re-cycled them for almost one week, wore and washed them instantly. I mixed my tudung wearing that week with my black color and dark brown tudung bawal. As these tudung bawal have quite dark color, so they are not so transparent. My friend, Ira was very happy when she saw me wore that big tudung for the first day……..

Actually, this is my second trial to wear big tudung, my first trial was when I was a temporary teacher in a private Islamic school in Kelantan in the year 2007. After almost two months teaching there, the headmistress set a rule that all teachers must wear big tudung. And I said…………oh, no!!. But there was a rule and I tried to follow it and I also must be a good example to my students. For the first day I wore it, my six years old student said, “Teacher, you know how you’re actually when you wear like this….??. I just smiled to her. She continued, “You’re beautiful”. Hrmm….I just keep quiet but in my heart I said, “Is it true??” . She was six year old Faidhun Najda, the daughter of a lecturer and a doctor in Kelantan,this year she already eight years old. I miss her cute face with her long eyelashes, hope she will grow up as a good muslimah.

But, I only can retain that for a few days and I only have two big tudung during that time, light purple and light blue. I wore that just to fulfill the school laws and not with full of my heart. After not teaching there because I have decided to find another job in KL, I just kept that tudung at my home in Kelantan. One teacher at that school said to me, “Ada hadis Nabi mengatakan ramai perempuan yg berpakaian tetapi seperti tidak berpakaian (telanjang). Dimaksudkan tidak berpakaian adalah kerana memakai pakaian yg jarang dan ketat sehingga menampakkan bentuk badan”.

What she said really touched me during that time but it took me two years to make this big decision. What she said always ‘bermain-main’ in my mind until I have made this decision. That teacher is Kak Yam, she is so soft spoken until what she said had touched my heart.

I am still in the stage of learning to improve myself, semoga saya istiqamah dalam perkara yg mendatangkan kebaikan.

2 minggu meninggalkan Miri

Salam...

I am in a business trip in KL for 1 week and 1 week annual leave in my hometown Kelantan. I leave Miri for two weeks. Hrmm...I don't know how I feel when I leave Miri....it is a mix feeling, but I think I love Miri. I love my house in Miri that big and tidy lawn. The grass is always kept trimmed. I grow some plants in my house's lawn, they're roses, lime, 'kangkung', ginger and a few more types.

I also love my small car....Viva 1.0 cc, automatic + power steering. I always kept my car clean and tidy. I really good as compared to my previous car during my university time. In university, I owned Kancil, 850, manual. I sold it after graduation. Syukran.....I have a good life and my life's journey is not so difficult.

I also love my activities in Miri. I will miss 2 weeks usrah, two weeks sewing class.

Yesterday, I have a good time with my best friend, Jid. We went to Jln Masjid India to buy a few things. I bought a few of new clothes...Hrmmm....really love my new clothes until I think....sayangnya nk pakai...takut rosak.Hahaha. Biasalah, dah lama tk beli baju, jadi rasa janggal pulak nk pakai baju baru.

Today, I have course about Protection Relay at Hotel Legend, KL. I can't catch a few points that Instructor explained in the class today. Hrmm...don't give up and strive to be the best.

Okla, that all...bye

Deep in my heart

Salam semua....

Lama saya tk update, sebenarnya saya terawang-awangan. I'm in a conflict of self identity.Mencari....dan mencari...berubah dan mengubah mindset dan cara hidup diri sendiri dan masyarakat.I don't know where to share my problem.....I try to call my mother but I don't know how to explain to her....She will not understand my problem. I would like to share it with my Kak long but she does not pick up the phone, then she sms why you called me last night??.I called her again, but she did not really understand and she busy with her baby boy.

Lastly.....I wrote it in Lady Ambitious blogspot.

My job I think it does not really suitable for a woman.It is a men's world. I am thinking, now I am against the 'Fikrah Wanita'. Is it???? However, in ancient Islamic history there were women that fight in a war.One example of them was Ummu Sulaim, the mother of famous hadis narrator, Anas bin Malik.Am I that though to be like her....???Deep in my heart, I want to give up.What making myself still here is because I always think that my job will develop myself to be a knowledgeable person, a tactful person, a good debater (because of too many challenge session) and a good planner. My life makes me too busy until I don't have time to think about 'remeh temeh' things so much.....So, I seldom have times to speak heart to heart to other peoples. I love to speak heart to heart actually....but now I do not really can accomodate this hobby anymore....Hehe

What makes my life busy....my job as an engineer,my gathering during usrah and majlis tadarus and my extra co-curiculum at office. The most important in my life is my gathering activity because I want to change myself and other peoples. Second important is my job because of I want to develop myself to be as genius as and as benificial as Marie Curie. Marie Curie is one of my idol in life. Extra co-curiculum sometimes I don't like it and become less priority because of no time to manage it but I always try to be patient....Read between the lines, everything happened must be a 'hikmah' between there.

Terdapat satu kata2 yg mengatakan..."Barangkali kamu membenci sesuatu perkara itu padahal ianya baik untukmu,dan barangkali kamu menyukai sesuatu perkara itu, padahal ia amat buruk untukmu"

Kalo tak silap kata2 di atas adalah hadis Nabi.

Yeay....akhirnya saya menemui solusi untuk self conflict saya pada mlm ni.....Alhamdullilah, moga kata2 di atas akan memotivasikan saya yg bekerja di dalam dunia lelaki ini dan yang hidup dalam dunia yang fikrah Islamnya kurang.

Moga saya bekerja dengan ikhlas dan jujur, moga saya lebih mendalami tentang garis panduan hidup sebenar seorang wanita di dalam Islam supaya saya tidak confuse.

Islam itu indah dan Islam itu membela hak wanita.

Reading

Assalamualaikum....

Currently, I am reading Slumdog Millionare (borrowed from my sister). I find my English is bad, when I wrote a report, I didn’t know how to express my ideas. Fortunately, I have been surrounded with clever people. They are very kind-hearted and helpful to rectify and re-wording my English.Thank you so much to them……Untungnya…kawan dengan orang pandai.

I should read more English book.

I think I want to take a pause from blogging because I want to refurbish my blog with a more cheerful template…….hopefully

Muhammad Al-Fatih

Assalamualaikum...

Seperti yang dijanjikan....mari kita sama-sama renungi kisah hebat penakluk kota Istanbul, Turki. Artikel diambil dari http://ms.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_al-Fatih.

Muhammad II (Bahasa Arab: محمد الثانى) juga dikenali dengan Muhammad al-Fatih kata terbitan dari fath(الفاتح) seperti surah al fatihah beerti surah pembukaan atau "Pembuka yang besar" dilahirkan pada 30 Mac 1432 di Edirne dan meninggal dunia pada 3 Mei 1481 di Hünkârcayırı, berdekatan Gebze. Baginda adalah Sultan yang memerintah Empayar Uthmaniyyah dalam masa singkat iaitu dari tahun 1444 ke 1446 dan kemudian dari tahun 1451 ke 1481. Baginda menakluk Constantinople pada umur 21 tahun yang membawa kepada kehancuran Empayar Byzantine.

Biografi

Muhammad II dilahirkan di Edirne (Adrianapolis, Turki) yang pada masa itu ibu kota kerajaan Uthmaniyyah pada 30 Mac 1432. Bapanya adalah Sultan Murad II (1404–51) dan ibunya Huma Hatun, anak perempuan Abd'Allah dari Hum.

Muhammad al-Fatih merupakan seorang sultan yang mementingkan kekuatan dalaman dan luaran para tenteranya. Mempunyai kepakaran dalam bidang ketenteraan, sains, matematik dan menguasai enam bahasa (bahasa Turki, Greek, Hebrew, Arab, Parsi, dan Latin) pada ketika berumur 21 tahun. Seorang pemimpin yang hebat, warak dan tawaduk selepas Sultan Salahuddin Al-Ayubbi (pahlawan Islam dalam Perang Salib) dan Sultan Saifuddin Muzaffar Al-Qutuz (pahlawan Islam dalam peperangan di Ain Jalut menentang tentera Mongol). Malah sifat-sifat baginda dan tenteranya telah diisyaratkan oleh Rasulullah S.A.W:

" Constantinople akan ditakluki oleh tentera Islam. Rajanya (yang menakluk) adalah sebaik-baik raja dan tenteranya (yang menakluk) adalah sebaik-baik tentera".

Kelebihan Muhammad Al-Fatih Mengikut Sejarah

Seorang sahabat Rasullullah S.A.W, Abu Ayub Al Ansari pernah mengikuti ekspidisi perang menentang tentera Rom di Constantinople ketika di zaman kerajaan Bani Umaiyyah. Beliau ingin jasadnya dikuburkan di tembok Constantinople dan ketika ditanya mengapa beliau ingin dikuburkan ditembok tersebut, beliau berkata kepada panglima Bani Umaiyah: "Aku mendengar baginda Rasulullah S.A.W mengatakan seorang lelaki soleh akan dikuburkan di bawah tembok tersebut & aku juga ingin mendengar derapan tapak kaki kuda yang membawa sebaik-baik raja yang mana dia akan memimpin sebaik-baik tentera seperti yang telah diisyaratkan oleh baginda."

Jasa dan Sumbangan

Kejayaan baginda dalam menewaskan tentera salib menyebabkan ramai kawan dan lawan kagum dengan kepimpinan beliau serta taktik & strategi peperangannya yang dikatakan mendahului pada zamannya dan juga kaedah pemilihan tenteranya. Baginda merupakan anak didik Syeikh Syamsuddin yang mana merupakan keturunan Abu Bakar As-Siddiq.

Antara sumbangan baginda adalah menakluk Constantinople yang juga menyebabkan berakhirnya Empayar Byzantine. Baginda jugalah yang menukar nama Constantinople kepada Islambol (Islam keseluruhannya). Kini nama tersebut telah ditukar oleh Mustafa Kamal Ataturk kepada Istanbul. Di atas jasanya, Masjid Al Fatih telah dibina bersebelahan makamnya.

Diceritakan bahawa para tentera Sultan Muhammad Al Fatih tidak pernah meninggalkan solat wajib sejak baligh & separuh dari mereka tidak pernah meninggalkan solat tahajud sejak baligh. Hanya Sultan Muhammad Al Fatih sajalah yang tidak pernah meninggalkan solat wajib, tahajud & rawatib sejak baligh hinggalah ke saat baginda meninggal dunia.

Catatan Lady Ambitious:

Semoga akan wujud dari keturunanku mujahid dan mujahidah yang hebat seperti Muhammad Al-Fatih.Insyaallah....Ameen.

Rajanya sebaik-baik raja

Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w. ketika menggali Parit Khandaq;

“..Constantinople (kini Istanbul) akan jatuh ke tangan tentera Islam. Rajanya adalah sebaik-baik raja, tenteranya adalah sebaik-baik tentera……”

(Hadis riwayat Imam Ahmad)

Siapakah yang dimaksudkan sebaik-baik raja dan sebaik-baik tentera ni??? Ciri-ciri dirinya adalah beliau tidak pernah meninggalkan solat fardhu, solat sunat rawatib dan solat tahajud sejak beliau mencapai umur baligh. Bagai langit dengan bumi jika hendak dibandingkan dengan diri kita hari ini....

Tunggu di post yg akan dtg saya akan revea; dengan lebih lanjut siapakah yang dimaksudkan dalam hadis Rasulullah s.a.w. ini.
