أين قلبي

Assalamualaikum WBT ..

أين قلبي

(Di mana hatiku?)

Aku mencari-cari hatiku dalam 5 waktu solatku ..

Aku mencari-cari hatiku dalam puasaku sehari-harian ..

Aku mencari-cari hatiku dalam setiap ayatMu yg mampu ku baca dan fahami ..

Tapi, di mana hatiku?

T_T

=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::

realiti yg x tahu lah kalau ada org lain pn rasa ..

~puasa tu lg penting dari solat ..

"bangun sahur cepat !! lepas sahur tidur la balek .. "

maka bersahurlah beliau, dan kemudian menyambung tidurnya sampai matahari tegak atas kepala ..

~teraweh hanyalah di sekolah ..

"jom2 g surau, teraweh jom" ..

"alaa, aku penat la .. kat sekolah hari2 teraweh .. hari ni cuti ea? boleh la boleh la .. "

~kurg bersyukur ...

"laa, ni je lauk hari ni? ikan patin masak tempoyak JE?"

erk .. *nanges laju2*

=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::

cuba bayangkan, anda sedang berada di sebuah tempat yg sangat amat riuh ..

contohnya, dalam majlis khatam Al-Quran di mana ada seorang yg membaca AQ pakai mic dgn kuatnya, dlm masa yg sama anda dan orang lain di dlm dewan tersebut turut ikut bertilawah ...

(alhamdulillah, baru lah hidup ruh Ramadhan tu! =) )

dia boleh jadi dua keadaan ..

satu, anda tak baca pun,..

anda hanya sekadar menggerakkan mulut mengikut bacaan org yg baca pakai mic tadi ..

dua, anda turut bertilawah dgn bersungguh-sungguh dan dlm masa yg sama, menghayati bacaan org y pkai mic tu ..

in both situations pun, org yg di luar dewan akan berkata, (katakanlah dia kenal anda)

"masyaAllah, bestnya bacaan diorang ! 'anda' pn ada dalam tu .. bertuah aku ada kawan mcm 'anda' " ..

*nanges terharu* 

maka, kalau anda adalah tergolong dalam situasi pertama, rugilah kan .. org nampak anda bersama-sama bertilawah, sedangkan hanya Allah dan anda jek tahu apa yg berlaku ..

mcm mana kalau anda tergolong dlm golongan yg kedua? masyaAllah, walaupun mungkin suara anda tu anda sorg jek yg dgr, disebabkan oleh suara org yg pakai mic tadi, tp anda juga telah menyumbang kepada kemeriahan majlis tilawah itu, dan sudah semestinya ada ganjaran daripada kesungguhan anda tu ..

(maafkan saya kalau cerita di atas sukar difahami .. susah la nk carik analogi yg senang .. haihh )

apa yg sy nk cite ni sebenarnya?

mcm ni .. dalam berbuat sesuatu kebaikan (katakanlah program motivasi peringkat negeri, heheh), anda mungkin hanya menumpang di situ supaya dilihat sebagai seorang yg baik ataupun hanya inginkan pujian dan ganjaran hasil daripada kebaikan tersebut .. ataupun anda hanyalah seseorang yg ada tugas yg kecil (let say tlg kutip sampah lepas setiap ceramah), dan xde org lain yg sanggup buat kerja tu .. rugilah kalau anda jadi org yg pertama tu, sbb sesungguhnya setiap amalan tu bermula dgn niat .. x ke sia2 amalan tu? tp kalau anda tergolong dalam golongan yg kedua, jgn lah down .. walaupun tugas anda mungkin x dilihat org pun .. tp tanpa anda, siapa yg nak bersihkan tmpat tu?

faham ke apa yg sy cuba sanpaikan?

saja je nk reflect kat diri sendiri .. sebab mmg betul kata orang, "Actions speak louder than words" .. kadang2 angan2 tu terlalu pnjang, tanpa ada tindakan yg menyusul .. kadang2 benda2 kecik diperbesarkan, supaya dilihat sebagai seorang yg bersungguh-sungguh melakukan sesuatu ..

Ya Allah, sucikanlah hati kami .. T_T

=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::=:::

ok .. cukup la kot membebel ..

malam Jumaat neh, jom! baca Al-Kahfi !?

=)

islam itu cool .. ^^

Assalamualaikum WBT..
Kaifa halukum? ^^

Ada org share ni .. n sy pn nk share kat sini jugak ..

kata kak Wardina, islam tu cool, n it is the ONLY way of life ..


 "xde life la kau ni .. zaman dah berubah kott ".., kata seseorang yg sgt modern dan ada class kepada seseorang yg menjadikan islam sbg deen-nya .. (cerita hanyalah rekaan)
tp yakinlah dgn kata2 Allah ,

"Wahai org2 yg beriman ! Penuhilah seruan Allah dan Rasul, apabila dia menyerumu kpd sesuatu yang MEMBERI KEHIDUPAN kepadamu, dan ketahuilah bahawa sesungguhnya Allah membatasi antara manusia dan hatinya dan sesungguhnya kepadaNyalah kamu akan dikumpulkan" .. (8:24)

kata Abu Productive hari tu, kalau kita rasa mcm nk buat sesuatu yg baik, tp malasss sgt, paksa diri ! kalau duk layan perasaan malas tu, smpai ke sudah la kita x buat benda baik tu .. cuba try, insyaAllah, daripada paksaan, lama2 akan timbul perasaan ikhlas tu .. pastu sia kata lagi, kalau dh berjaya buat sesuatu yg baik tu, jgn pulak kata, "yeayy, aku dah berjaya !!" .. tapi, cuba kata "alhamdulillah, Allah izinkan aku utk
berjaya buat benda ni" .. dpt ke msg dari Abu Productive tu? sy hanya menyampaikan je .. kita sama2 try k?
=)

merujuk perkara di atas, sy teringat kata2 seorang rakan ..
kadang2, kita terasa yg diri kita ni besar, jauhh lebih hebat dari org lain ..
kalau kita berjaya buat sesuatu yg mendatangkan faedah buat org lain, "oh .. hebatnya aku" ..
kita selalu sgt lupa, SEMUA, sy ulang, SEMUAA yg terjadi tu, SEMUAA dari Allah ..
pastu kan, dia pesan kat saya, nk tau 1 tips utk cuba buang perasaan tu?
try buat something yg membuatkan kita nmpak low class, mgkin sedikit hina di mata org lain ..
simple, try cuci tandas .. lagi elok, cari tandas2 awam yg x berbayar, mesti terbaekk punya lahh ..
ok, mgkin over sgt tuh .. apa2 je lah yg membuatkan kita rasa mcm tu ..
insyaAllah, sikit2 perasaan humble tu akn wujud ..
housemate sy pn pnah ckp, dia pnah dgr Dr Fadzilah Kamsah ckp,
kalau kita buat kerja2 'pembersihan' ni ie cuci pinggan ke, cuci toilet ke,
titik2 hitam kat hati kita akan dipadam sikit demi sikit ..
maka, x salah mencuba kan?
=)

oh, ada satu benda, eh, 2 benda sy nk share ..
untuk diri sendiri yg terutamanya, dan juga all my girl frens out there ..

berkaitan dgn post sy yg ni

hurm .. utk kita sama2 ponder ok?


LBNL,

~ saya x suka org2 yg jual+beli+mengedar mercun time2 pose ni .. kesian kat budak2 yg belum tahu sgt pn membezakan yg baik atau buruk ..
~ dah nk abes 2nd phase puasa .. =(

=)

Learn and Apply .. Zaass ...

Sangat jeles dgn adik2 neh .. T_T

JOM! gunakan peluang sementara masih bernafas ni, utk hafal sebanyak mungkin ayat2 suci Kalamullah ..
Dalam bulan Ramadhan pulak tu ..

Mendoakan yang terbaik utk semua kenalan di UK ..
Kekacauan dah merebak sampai Manchester, dekat sgt da dgn Lancaster, huhu ..

Oh, dah nak abes fasa pertama Ramadhan ..
huhu ...

LBNL, tengah buat apa tu?

=)

Dah 8 Ramadhan??

What went wrong?


Bila cakap kadang2 dah x serupa bikin,
Bila duk mengeluh atas perkara yg selalunya salah sendiri pun, 
Bila duk patah hati dgn sikap manusia yg mmg dah sedia maklum mcm tu,
Bila duk ingatkan org lain, tp lupa nk ingatkan diri sendiri ..


Kena check balik niat neh .. kalau betul semuanya kerana Allah, maka Allah lah yg sepatutnya jadi motivasi, bkn manusia, dan bkn apa2 pn selainNya! Astaghfirullah ...




Oh, sedikit pesanan bg yg berminat ;


Assalamu’alaikum,

Over the past couple of days we spoke about the importance of our productivity and our productive habits being focussed on serving Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) especially during Ramadan.

Today is a final call to all those who’ve yet to jump on the bandwagon of being productive for His sake to come on board on our journey. If you do not resolve to become productive this Ramadan, then when will you ever be productive? And if you’re already productive, then is your productivity be truly for His sake? This ramadan we want to make sure you have an ‘guilt-free’ ramadan with no regrets, so you can take advantage of this opportunity which is this month! You're invited to sign up to the special ramadan MEMBERSHIP COURSE at www.leadingproductivelives.com and go through detailed training with us and join an online community that's keen to be productive!

Starting tomorrow we’ll be going through some practical tips to become super ProductiveMuslims inshaAllah! In the meantime, read what your ‘Dining Etiquettes’ (http://bit.ly/etiquettes1 Part 1) (http://bit.ly/etiquettes2 Part 2) ought to be like this ramadan.

Sincerely,
Abu Productive

p.s. If you haven’t done it already, do invite your friends to join our mailing list and not miss out on the tips that we’ll be sharing with you!


Dan peringatan dari seorg ukhti,


"Wasting time is worse than death, because death separates you from this world whereas wasting time separates you from Allah."- Ibn al Qayyim






JOM! gunakan masa sebaiknya .. 


=)

Sekapur sirih .. ??

Salam 6 Ramadhan ..

Apa khabar iman dan amal kita ?   =)

Ok, kenapa tajuknya berbunyi bgitu? Sebab xde idea nk letak apa ..

1 ...

Seorang anak lelaki dan ibunya berborak-borak di dlm kereta .. tajuknya, ingat Allah ..
(ok, sy x ingat la pulak kan mcm mana bole terkeluar tajuk ni .. straight to da point je lah ye)

Anak : Kalau ada duit, lg ingat Allah mak .. kalau xde duit, mesti susah hati, duk fikir nape lah jadi mcm ni ..
Ibu : pulak dah ..  tu la yg salahnya .. sepatutnya bila2 pn kena ingat Allah .. kalau byk duit, ha, tu rezeki dari Allah .. syukur .. kalau xde duit, haa, tu ujian dari Allah .. ujian2 kan tanda Allah syg kita? syukur .. lepas tu, bila buat amalan tu, jgn la duk fikir buat sbb nk dpt fadhilatnya tu semata2 .. contohnya, semangat solat Dhuha, sbb tu kan pintu rezeki .. tp niatnya dah kerana rezeki, bkn kerana Allah .. buat je, dapat x dapat sesuatu kebaikan tu, Alah yg tentukan .. kan?
A : ......

(dialog telah direka ikut sesedap rasa .. tapi rasanya itulah mesej yg cuba disampaikan.. wallahualam)

2 ...

Menonton sebuah rancangan di TV9 ..  tahu apa yg dibincangkan?
MODEL MUSLIMAH .. urm, 'menarik' bukan?
lebih menarik bila melihat kesungguhan mereka berlatih dan bermake-up ..
dan yg paling nk highlight, ayat salah seorg model bila ditemu ramah ,
"model muslimah ni x mcm model2 lain kat luar sana, kita x bukak aurat dll etc2 , so saya rasa SELAMAT"

p/s : sy x tahu apa pendapat org lain ..
terpulang utk membangkang pendapat sy, tp sy x stuju .. lg2 part rasa SELAMAT tu ..  wallahualam ..

dah x relevan ke ayat ni? hurmmm ... 

3 ....

Pengalaman berkecimpung dalam dunia pekerjaan dan perniagaan, buat sy rasa cuak nk abeskan degree .. (la, sy kan bakal cikgu insyaAllah, apa kaitan dgn perniagaan? ) .. memetik status fesbuk yg dah diolah ,


sedang berhadapan dgn realiti org2 bekerja .. haihhh, cuakk .. bila hal keadilan dan amanah mentioned .. bila harta dunia dan saham akhirat perlu diperjelaskan .. 

keadilan dan amanah? yes, bila ada org pecah amanah, maka sy rasa dia tidak berlaku adil terhadap org lain di sekelilingnya, berlaku kezaliman di situ .. bila duit mengaburi mata manusia, sampai sanggup mengingkari janji .. manusia sanggup merendah2kan org lain, hanya kerana tidak berpuas hati akan hasil buat dirinya yg dirasakan x setimpal dgn usahanya .. dengan realiti umat yg mmg liat nk berpuasa nya, puasa tp x solat nya .. Allahu Allah .. Kau terimalah segala amal kami yg sedikit dan rosak ini Ya Allah .. T_T

4 ...

Dah buat persiapan raya? baju raya, kuih2 raya .. (apa la masalahnya ni, baru je puasa, da nk raya?) .. ye lah, kalau dah buat persiapan awal2 kan senang .. x payah susah2 mencari itu dan ini di malam2 terakhir Ramadhan .. x ke kita yg rugi nnt?

5 ....

LBNL .. dalam satu program, kami diminta utk tulis satu sifat yg nk dicapai spnjang prgram tersebut .. maka azam sy adalah utk mnjadi lebih organized .. xtaw la berjaya ke x .. tp mcm suka sgt peringatan2 yg diberi oleh Abu Productive, sejak bermulanya Ramadhan ..

1 : Assalamu'alaikum!

Can you feel it? Can you feel Ramadan in the air? No? Don't worry, these practical tips will definitely get you in the Ramadan mood:

1. Start fasting regularly: Ayesha - May Allah be pleased with her - said: "I never saw the Messenger of Allah fast a complete month except for Ramadan, and I have never seen him fast more in a month than he did in Shaban." [Bukhari, Muslim]

2. Learn about the Fiqh of fasting: what's allowed and what's not allowed and get answers to questions you always had each Ramadan (e.g. Does having a medical injection invalidate fast? Am I allowed to brush my teeth whilst fasting?..etc). Even better if you join a pre-Ramadan course taught by a scholar so you can ask him/her all your questions.
[Here are couple links that might help:

Hope the above gets you into Ramadan spirits!

Assalamu’alaikum, zatie

Do you remember last Ramadan? How was it? Was it productive, or did you barely survive?

The reason I’m asking is because if you had an unproductive Ramadan last year, I don’t want you to repeat it this year. Feeling guilty about last year’s Ramadan won’t benefit you unless you can use that guilt to light up a burning desire in your hear to do better this year and improve yourself and not fall in the same traps like last year.

On the other hand, if you had a super productive Ramadan last year, hamdulilla! Try to recall what worked for you last year and how you can improve on that. Also feel free to share with me some of your best tips to staying productive during Ramadan and I’ll be sure to share some of it with our readers.


Yours sincerely,
Abu Productive


Assalamu’alaikum,

Whenever we think of ‘unproductive people’ during Ramadan, we think of people who waste time staying up all night watching TV, and sleeping the whole day till Asr (or sometimes right through to Maghrib!) They barely read Quran, don’t have time for charity, and rarely attend taraweeh prayers..

But there’s another type of unproductive person during Ramadan:

These are the workaholics, those who barely have time to worship Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) during Ramadan because they are so busy with life/work/family and everything else they are involved in. They too give no time to read the Quran, barely give charity, and taraweeh prayer is simply out of the question!

You may argue that this is not too bad, at least they are ‘productive’. But are they? Or are they wasting their Ramadan? In the grand scheme of things, if they died today, will all their ‘busy-ness’ benefit them or will it be a ‘waste’?

We need to be careful of this second type of unproductivity… it affects us all, especially those with busy schedules. Ramadan can easily slip from us due to our busy lifestyles and we’ll only regret it on the last day of Ramadan, so let’s not regret it this year!

If you want to find out how to manage your priorities, time and have a productive balanced lifestyle this ramadan then join me on our exclusive ramadan membership course at www.leadingproductivelives.com.

Yours sincerely,
Abu Productive


Assalamu’alaikum,

As we reach day 4 of ramadan, that means we’ve only got 25/26 days of Ramadan left! It’s important therefore that we spend the last 10-15 minutes of each day of Ramadan reviewing our day and asking ourselves how productive we’ve been. (This could be a simple mental exercise that you do or you actually use pen and paper and write in your daily journal).

If your day was productive, ask yourself: what went right, what were the ingredients that made this day productive? How can I replicate this experience each day? Also don’t forget to thank Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) for blessing you for a productive day.

If it was unproductive, ask yourself what went wrong? How can I avoid such a day ever repeating itself during Ramadan? Ask Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) to help you make your future days productive. Renew your intention and be positive that if you are granted life then the next day will be better.

You want to be constantly developing and improving each day during Ramadan, so that by the last 10 days you’re at your peak inshaAllah!

Yours sincerely,
Abu Productive!




Assalamu’alaikum,

Perhaps the most powerful realisation that a Muslim goes through during Ramadan is the understanding that his time, his prayers, his work, and his life belongs to Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) and should be directed to Him alone. As Prophet Ibraheem (peace be upon him) said:

‘Say: “Truly, my prayer and my service of sacrifice, my life and my death, are (all) for Allah, the Cherisher of the World’. (The Holy Quran, Surah Al-Anaam, Chapter #6, Verse #162)

Therefore, our productivity and efforts, should be directed to Him and to what He is pleased with. Sometimes we just do actions for the sake of it, and don’t really consider the intention behind it yet we know our actions are judged by the intention.

Next time, ask yourself before you embark on any productive activity, “Is this for Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) or not?”.

Have a ProductiveRamadan day!

Sincerely,
Abu Productive

Assalamu’alaikum,

In our day to day battle to continuously stay productive during Ramadan, it’s easy to become obsessed with some of the physical productivity issues; how many hours did I sleep today? How many calories did I consume? Did I exercise today?..

Even though checking the above from time to time is important, remember our physical productivity is only a means and not the end goal itself. In our definition as ProductiveMuslims: ‘physical productivity is about optimising your physical ability to enable you to serve Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) better and worship Him better.’

What you should be concerned about are the following questions: Did Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala) accept my fasting today? Did I pray on time with all the Sunnahs? Did I read Quran today? Did I understand every word? Remember ramadan is not about just making it to the iftar table at the end of the day, rather it is about attaining a new level of spirituality with Allah through your act.
