yeAy!!! RaYA DAtaNg LAgi:D

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Time flies so fast.

Hari Raya is coming soon.

May Allah gives us the chance to feel it once again this year.

This is my 19th Hari Raya.

This year, I don't want it to be like my previous ones.

I want to celebrate it meaningfully this year, not meaninglessly as before.

Now I realized that Hari Raya is not just about DUIT RAYA, BAJU RAYA, KUIH RAYA & PERABOT RAYA.

It has more to give us. Not just the fun but the values too.

*HARI RAYA AIDILFITRI*

It is celebrated every year. But, do we know why we are celebrating it?

FITRI=fitrah.

What does it have to do with fitrah?

Lol, what does it mean?

It means....

We are celebrating it for our success in returning ourselves to our fitrah.

Fitrah??

Yes, fitrah. Our pure fitrah.

Even more confused, lol.

Wait, i'll explain more.

Do you know that Allah created us with fitrah?

To love Allah is a fitrah.

To obey Allah is a fitrah.

To love good deeds is a fitrah.

To love other things more than Allah is not a fitrah.

To disobey Allah is not a fitrah.

To do what Allah forbids is not a fitrah.

To take Allah's gift for granted without syukur is not a fitrah.

So, what??

Ramadhan that we've been going through for 30 days is a training provided by Allah to return us to our fitrah.

Don't you realize that we are far away from it now?

So many things that we did which go against our own fitrah.

For Allah so loves us, He gives us Ramadhan to purify ourselves.

Nikmat mana lg yang mahu kau dustakan??

Ramadhan purifies us? How's that?

Yea la. For one month, we fast from dawn till sunset by not eating and drinking and abstaining ourselves from doing things that can make our fast invalid or reduce its bless.

Hunger during the day teaches us to appreciate food more.

If before this we live to eat, then we learn that actually we eat to live.

Here, Islam is teaching us to eat what we need not what we want.

From hunger, we know how do the poor people feel when they have nothing to eat for the whole day.

Hunger is a good thing too.

A wise man once said, " jika laparlah perutmu, maka kenyanglah akalmu, hatimu, tanganmu, kakimu dan seluruh anggotamu ".

It means that hunger can initiate progress for our brain, purify our heart and abstain us from doing bad things or it simply means it trains our nafs to follow Allah's rule.

I know you might say hunger can make people do crime like stealing for food.

Here, we, muslims are different.

We stand hunger in Ramadhan for Allah's sake.

And we are not fasting because there is no food to eat, but it's because Allah tells us to do so.

How powerful is that, when you have food to eat, but you choose not to because of Allah.

So, we muslims should use this same skill to abstain ourselves from what Allah forbids us to do.

We choose to cover our aurat when others uncover their's.

We choose to pray 5 times a day when others don't.

We choose to be firm with our Islamic Identity/Fikrah while others don't for whatsoever reasons.

We choose not to go for prompt, party and clubbing though people think we are outdated.

Brothers and sisters, here Ramadhan is teaching us that:

As Muslims, WHATEVER WE DO IN LIFE, IT IS FOR ALLAH AND WE SHOULD NEVER DO WHAT ALLAH FORBIDS US TO DO.

Hope all of us can accept this=)

Then, Ramadhan purifies us through the ibadah that we do throughout this month.

For every ibadah that we do, Allah promises us with great rewards and forgiveness.

QIYAM :

-train us to wake up early in the morning while other people are still snoring on their bed
-give us innerpeace through communication with Allah, here we tell Allah what we feel, the problem that we have and the sins that we commit.

-make us realize that Allah is always there for us, we just need to pray to Him and put all our hopes on Him.

-i start to love it=)

QURAN RECITATION :

-i just realized how wonderful is our Quran, it is a love letter from Allah, Allah is talking to you & me

-give me innerpeace too and always consult me when i'm down

-guide me on how should i lead my life since i always get confused by this world

-from now on, we should make this Quran our best friend and teacher

TERAWIKH :

-for me personally it teaches me to watch on my time so that it is spent for doing things which have value for Allah

-because normally after maghrib prayer, i used to 'lepak' and end up doing nothing

-teach me the value of patience in doing ibadah

ZIKRULLAH :

-now i agree that only by remembering Allah that we find peace

-when we always remember Allah and always put Allah first, there is less chance for us to commit sins

-don believe me?try it k=)

Brothers and sisters,

this is basically how Ramadhan purifies us and return us to our fitrah which is LOVE TO BE CLOSE TO ALLAH AND LOVE TO OBEY ALLAH.

May the effects of Ramadhan stay in us throughout the year until we meet it again next year.

Let us celebrate Hari Raya with full of syukur to Allah and don't ruin it by doing nonsense.

Feel it with your hearts, how nice, how peace, how pure for us to return to our FITRAH.

SeLaMat HarI RayA,

Maaf Zahir & Batin.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim........

Alhamdulillah. Praise to Allah The Most Merciful.
All the sorrow that i know melted away. Then a heroin in me comes along with the strength to carry on. InsyAllah=)

Now, I'm walking to a NEW WORLD. As a NEW COMER , I should be humble (know who am I) and willing to learn from others. I should take this opportunity to learn the skills needed to live in this NEW WORLD. I think I have the spirit and ideas but they have the knowledge and experience. So, why not we help each other instead of pointing out others' weaknesses.
Be patient, dear. It's normal. Don't let the differences between us divides us, but let it makes us unique. Differences are there to give us the colours of this NEW WORLD.

" i'm a NEW COMER. forget me plz for my conducts. plz correct me if i'm wrong. i just get 2 know all these things, so kind of excited. i'm willing to learn from you all. i'll always be a learner. insyAllah. "


********************************

Now, I'm getting myself clearer of the PURPOSE OF MY LIFE.
Alhamdulillah, now, all the jahilliyah thoughts hardly come and I'm able to get rid most of the useless fears and worries in me.
I'm no longer mourning and regretting my past.
I'm a new person. Though it's hard for me to change these parts of me.
I'm trying to be realistic.
I question less and listen more.
I do question more but for necessary things only.

*********************************

My dreams are sky high.
I know it's possible.
It's a choice.
Choose to be or not to be.
Allah will never change the fate of a person, until the person herself makes efforts to change it.

*********************************

Make ISLAM stands in YOU, then only YOU stands for ISLAM.
Don't take the MUSLIM title for granted.
There must be reasons why Allah loves MUSLIM so much not the KUFR.
Do you deserve that love??


Waallahu'alam~

Bila CINTA Di ' MONYET ' kn oleh kita

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.....

Segala puji bg Allah Tuhan Seluruh Alam.

CINTA? Apakah yang terlintas dalam fikiran kita bila ditanyakan tentang CINTA?
Kenapa semua orang suka bercakap soal CINTA? Kenapa ada yang senyum sorang2 bila ditanya soal CINTA? Kenapa CINTA menjadi isu 'evergreen' dr dlu hingga sekarang? Ada apa dengan CINTA?

Sejujur-jujurnya, saya sendiri pun sangat suka bercakap soal CINTA, ingin berCINTA dan pernah berCINTA.
Adakah salah untuk mempunyai rasa CINTA?
Adakah salah jika menCINTAI sesuatu?
Begitu kejamkah ISLAM hingga kita tidak boleh berCINTA?
Jom, kawan2 kita cari jawapannya sama2=)

Sebelum itu, apa itu CINTA bagi kita? Saya nak kita semua jawab dengan jujur dari hati ye, tak nak jawapan yang skema2.
CINTA is a very subjective feeling. It depends on HOW we DEFINE 'CINTA' .
Ada orang kata, CINTA=cinta seorang lelaki kepada seorang perempuan & vice versa
Ada juga orang kata , CINTA=cinta pada kepuasaan, kejayaan, kekayaan (fly, high-paid career,wealth)
Ada juga sebilangan kecil yang kata, CINTA=cinta kepada Allah Sang Pencipta CINTA
(walaupun dianggap pelik bagi sesetengah pihak).

Apapun definisi CINTA bg kita, yang penting, CINTA itu FITRAH manusia. CINTA itu bisa membius pencintanya. CINTA itu menyebabkan pencintanya resah bila tidak bertemu dan suka bila disuruh. CINTA itu membuatkan kita BAHAGIA walaupun di mata orang kita sengsara. Begitu hebat CINTA ni ye=)

Ok. Enough of ayt bunga2.
Jadi, sekarang saya nk ajak diri saya sendiri dan kawan2 semua fikir luas sikit pasal CINTA ni.
Takdela bila disebut CINTA aje, kita terbayangkan " if i were in love with that guy, if i were married to that guy, or beshnyer memori couple kita ".

Kawan2, pernah tak kita terpikir kenapa Allah beri kita perasaan CINTA?
Jawapannya kerana CINTA itu HEBAT.
Kenapa HEBAT?
Sebab, secara FITRAHnya, bila kita CINTAkan sesuatu, kita sanggup berkorban dan melakukan apa sahaja demi CINTA kita.
Sebab, CINTA bisa membuatkan kita bersabar dan bahagia biarpun pelbagai dugaan perlu ditempuh.

Since, CINTA ini sangat HEBAT, soalnya, kepada siapa CINTA ini harus kita CURAHkn?
1. KEKASIH, yang belum tentu menjadi suami atau isteri kita or SUAMI/ISTERI, yg halal dicintai dan dirindui
2. STUDY, yang menyebabkan kita tidak berfikir mengenaI hal lain, yang difikirkan hanyalah nak fly, nk fly n nk fly=)
3. KAWAN2, yang belum tentu bersama kita senang dan susah
4. IBUBAPA, yang menyayangi kita dari kita sebesar botol hinggalah sebesar sekarang
5. RASULULLAH, yang bila sedang menghadapi sakaratul maut, masih mnyebut 'ummati, ummati, ummati=umatku, umatku, umatku'
6. ALLAH, yang jika nak dihitung nikmatnya, pasti tidak akan terhitung oleh kita

Kawan2, anda jawab sendiri!!!

Kawan2, saya nak anda semua tahu, saya menulis ni, bukan untuk memaksa kawan-kawan ubah definisi CINTA anda.
Saya sendiri pown sedang cuba digest perkara ini. Jadi apa salahnya kita digest sama2 kn?TQ=)

Anda perasan tak sekarang manusia sudah tidak menghargai perasaan CINTA yang Allah beri?
Anda setuju tak kalau saya cakap manusia kini sudah me'MONYET'kn CINTA mereka?
Mereka senang-senang je bagi CINTA dekat org yang tak sepatutnya.
Mereka berCINTA sakan sampai lupe siapa DIRI, lupe PARENTS, lupe STUDY, dan lebih teruk lupe ALLAH.
Kawan2, ini bukan tujuan Allah beri kita rasa CINTA.

Haah!!
Jadi tak boleh berCINTA?
Kene campak jauh2 rasa CINTA ni?
Mana bolehh!!!!

Tidak sama sekali. Allah tak sekejam itu.
Bila CINTA kepada berlainan jantina itu datang, anda perlu hargainya kerana itu membuktikan anda normal.
Simpan perasaan itu dalam hati dan jangan pernah luahkan kepada si dia.
Kerana, ini belum masanya untuk anda lestarikan CINTA itu.
Kenapa plak?
Kerana anda belum ada kapasiti.
Maksud kapasiti di sini ialah apa yang anda boleh buat sekarang jika CINTA anda itu dilestarikan sekarang.
Anda masih study, dia masih study, dua2 pown sponsors n makbapak yang tanggung.Betul x?
Jadi, jika anda berCINTA sakan sekarang, anda pastikah yang anda akan kahwin dengan dia?
Fikir2kanlah=)

Ok. But coupling is now a trend. I don't want to be left out.
For me, it's ok to be left out, coz coupling is not worth it.

Ok. But he/she inspires me to excel in my study?
It's simple. Sudah tidak adakah sumber inspirasi lain di dunia ini.
Allah, parents.Anyone??

Ok. But i really want to marry him/her.
If so, good. But don't ruin him/her by coupling but nikahilah dia when u r ready.

Before i end, i leave you guys with something to ponder=)

" JANGAN PERNAH BERCINTA DENGAN LELAKI/PEREMPUAN YANG BUKAN HAKMU SELAGI CINTA ALLAH, RASUL, IBUBAPA, GURU2, KAWAN2 BELUM ANDA HARGAI "

" YAKINLAH, BAHAGIA ITU HANYA ADA PADA PERKARA YANG DIHALALKAN OLEH ALLAH. SO, COUPLE BOLEH BAHAGIA?"

" CINTAILAH ALLAH, NISCAYA KAMU TAKKAN PERNAH KECEWA DAN BAHAGIALAH HIDUPMU "

Wallahu'alam~

Where's the HEROIN in ME??

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.....

Long time never write here. Taking my own sweet time to digest new things that I get.
Until one day, my sahabat asked me to express anything that i feel here.
She said, do not wait until you understand it as a whole.
Just express it here, maybe others can help you to digest it better=)

Now, I feel so uncertain. I don't know why, but i know there's something wrong over 'here'.
Sometimes, i feel like starting a new life but sometimes, 'it' hold me back.
I still remember what my sisters and sahabats keep telling me over n over again.
In life, there are only 3 days:

# YESTERDAY : u can do nothing to change it
# TODAY : most important ( use it to the max )
# TOMORROW : let it to Allah coz we don't know we'll be there or not but doesn't mean that u can't plan 4 it.

To be honest, now i feel like i am somebody else. Not the brave and strong LIZA anymore.
So many things happened these last two years which lower down my self-confidence.
I got dreams. Sometimes, they seem so far away from me.
I feel like running away from people and most of the time from problems.
I know all these TESTS should make me stronger coz Allah Himself is testing me.
I remember what K. Shira told me:

" In life, there are so many turning points. This is one of your turning points."
" Liza wake up, step up and move on "

I miss the old LIZA who used to be confidence in herself.
I miss the old LIZA who used to be the best among the best.
I miss the old LIZA who knew what she's doing.
I miss the old LIZA who had passion towards her study.

But,
I know the old liza did not know the purpose of her creation.
I know the old liza was so innocent about TRUE LOVE.
I know the old liza talk more than work.

Ya Allah, give me faith in You.
Ya Allah, make me stay in ISLAM.
Ya Allah, teach me to become a true MUSLIM.
Ya Allah, give me sahabats who will b with me in this path.

Good to listen=)

Theres a hero

If you look inside your heart

You dont have to be afraid

Of what you are

Theres an answer

If you reach into your soul

And the sorrow that you know

Will melt away

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

Its a long road

When you face the world alone

No one reaches out a hand

For you to hold

You can find LOVE

If you search within yourself

And the emptiness you felt

Will disappear

And then a hero comes along

With the strength to carry on

And you cast your fears aside

And you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone

Look inside you and be strong

and you'll finally see the truth

That a hero lies in you

Lord knows

Dreams are hard to follow

But dont let anyone tear them away

Hold on

There will be tomorrow

In time

You'll find the way

And then a hero comes along
With the strength to carry on
And you cast your fears aside
And you know you can survive
So when you feel like hope is gone
Look inside you and be strong
and you'll finally see the truth
That a hero lies in you

That a hero lies in you

That a hero lies in

You=)

Waallahu'alam~

Mengapa aku masih mencintai dia???

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.......

Al-kisah.....
Ada seorang perempuan yang baru sahaja mahu mengenal TuhanNya yang selama ini dia sering lupakan. Perempuan ini baru sahaja menyedari tujuan hidupnya yang sebenar, sudah faham dan masih berusaha untuk faham dgn betul2 tujuan hidupnya.

Dalam dia gigih berusaha untuk mencari CINTA Tuhannya, cinta lamanya masih mekar bersemi. Bersemi untuk seorang lelaki yang tidak mungkin faham apa yang dia faham sekarang. Lebih malang lagi, lelaki itu bukan seorang muslim yang taat kpd Allah dan dapat membimbing dirinya untuk terus dalam jalan tarbiyah ini.( lelaki itu tidak tahu solat, pernah berzina, telah berapa kali bercouple dan merokok secara aktif).
Pendek kata, tidak ada ciri2 lelaki budiman idaman seorang muslimah pada dirinya. Cuma, lelaki itu pernah memberitahunya bahawa dia ingin berubah. Tapi, selepas dia berkahwin dengan perempuan itu nanti. Dan ini jugalah sebab utama perempuan ini berkenalan dengan lelaki itu pada mulanya. Untuk membimbing dia ke jalan Allah. Tapi lain pula jadinya, cinta nafsu lebih kuat dari niat murni mereka.

Kini, dalam keadaan dirinya baru melangkah dalam dunia tarbiyah, persoalan2 ini meracun hatinya, meragut lenanya pada malam hari.
Perempuan ini selalu bertanya pada dirinya sendiri,
" Mengapa walau dia seteruk itu, aku masih mencintainya? Masih cinta walaupun sudah berada dalam tarbiyah. Adakah sebab dia cinta pertamaku?"

Lalu dia pun terfikir apakah yang boleh dia harapkan daripada cintanya ini.
" Mungkinkah satu hari nanti dia akan mendapat hidayah dari Allah, lalu aku dapat bahagia bersamanya? "
" Dapatkah aku yang masih bertatih ini membantunya kembali ke jalan Allah?Atau mungkin aku yang akan tergelincir sama? Ya Allah, aku buntu."
" Haruskah aku tinggalkan dia, sedang aku tahu dia sedang berlumuran dosa?Patutkah aku pergi jauh darinya untuk mnyelamatkan diriku dan memantapkan imanku dahulu? Ya Allah aku tak tahu."

Lelaki itu benar-benar serius mencintainya dan ingin berkahwin dengannya. Perempuan itu juga.
" Tetapi cukupkah cinta sahaja sebagai sandaran perkahwinan mereka? "
" Bolehkah perempuan itu terus kekal dalam tarbiyah selepas kahwin nanti, atau suaminya akan menjadi penghalang kepada niatnya? "
" Realistikkah seorang isteri untuk membimbing suaminya? Adakah suaminya benar-benar mahu berubah selepas berkahwin? "

Tambahan pula, keluarga perempuan itu tidak merestui perhubungan mereka.
Kerana lelaki itu hanya bekerja sebagai 'aircond' man dan pelajarannya hanya tahap sijil. Perempuan itu pula bakal mengambil ijazah di luar negara. Pelik bukan. Bagaimana mereka boleh jatuh cinta. Perempuan itu juga berasa pelik. Tapi jujur, dia tidak tahu kenapa dan bagaimana ini terjadi pada dirinya.

Mereka pernah bercouple dan baru sahaja putus kerana terpaksa. Kini, mereka hanya kawan dan masih berhubungan melalui sms dan phone call. Tapi hanya sebagi kawan. Tapi mereka masih saling mencintai. Dalam masa berkawan dgn lelaki itu selepas break, perempuan itu merasa dia tidak dapat menganggap lelaki itu sebagai kawan. Sayang dan cemburu masih beraja di hati.

" Apa yang patut aku buat sekarang? Tinggalkan dia buat selama-lamanya? Bagaimana harus aku terangkan padanya? Aku telah banyak kali suruh dia jangan contact aku, tapi aku yang contact dia semula. Kini aku malu untuk cakap padanya yang aku mahu stop semua ini secara total. Ya Allah, bantulah aku membuat keputusan dan tindakan~ "

p/s : Kepada anda semua, harap dapat drop comment mengenai kisah ini. Semoga kita sama2 dapat berkongsi cara penyelesaiannya. Thanks=)
