Secret to Success.

السلام عليكم

Ahooyy! Who wants success? Me! Me! Me! Success has a very wide scope. We have our own definition of success right? Some wants a success of scoring straight A's in our exams (which is very common to most of us), success of completing our 3-feet tall homework/assignment or answering a difficult Maths question which seems harder that Add Math, success of buying the tickets to watch Harimau Malaya play at the World Cup (?!), success of getting the job we always wanted (with high pay of course) or even success of having our parents bought something we are dying for ;) 

Mainly success cannot be measured and differ from a person to another. But, I truly believe that there is one ultimate success that every one wants. WHATTT? Success of being near to Allah and have the VVVVVVIP pass to be in His Jannah. InsyaAllah :)

HOW? Hmm, that's a good very question. Well, I think first of all we have to set that golden goal. Then, work and pray for it. Just the common recipe for success.

Suratul Al-Mukminun verses 1, 2 and 9;

"Success indeed are the believers, Who humble in their prayers, ...And those who keep a guard on their prayers"

@

"Sesungguhnya berjayalah orang-orang yang beriman. (Iaitu) mereka yang khusyuk dalam solat mereka...Dan mereka yang memelihara solat-solat mereka."

Allah said it all. From what my point of view, you want to achieve success? Keep a really good eye on your solat. InsyaAlalh :)

I just got the inspiration to write about this entry from an article in a book entitled 'Quran Saintifik, Meneroka Kecemerlangan Quran daripada Teropong Sains' by Dr. Danial bin Zainal Abidin. To tell you the truth, that's NOT my book. I do love books but I don't really read books of that genre, if you follow what I mean. =_____='

Where on Earth did I got that book and why of a sudden I read it? We have this particular Biology assignment where we have to discuss on the origin of human from Apes, related to the Charles Darwin's evolution theory. And our 'Boss' (group leader) showed us this book which had the other related article. So yeah. I got interested to read a couple of the articles and volunteered to translate an article with hopes that I can read more other articles. I'm sorta borrowing the book laa.heheh

So people, hows Ramadhan so far? I reckon our body systems had seems to adjust with the not-eating-and-not-drinking stuff. But Ramadhan is not just about that right? It's more than that. Hmm, what more? That stuff your having in your mind, is all what Ramadhan needs WE need in Ramadhan :) 

I bet most of us will be so drop dead tired by an hour before berbuka  kan? That is the peak time for orang yang berpuasa when our prayers are the most mustajab. Aminn~

Yang baik datang daripada Allah

dan yang buruk itu kelemahan diriku ini.

Until later.

Selamat berbuka dan bertarawikh.

Wassalam :)

Survived, 29 days to go.

السلام عليكم

Alhamdulillah, the Muslim had just done with our first day in the month of Ramadhan Kareem. For me, the atmosphere was quite different compare to my last 5 years in SSP. There's no breaking fast in the Dining Hall with tons of food served colourfully on the round banquet table. No reading the do'a with the whole school. No Tarawikh with Ustaz Hazman, Ustaz Kamil, 'Ustaz' Hanif and 'Ustaz' Aziz. No mureh (supper after Tarawikh) after prep class. Only eating in the room and Tarawikh at the badmninton court, with new friends :))

What seems exciting here in UIA is that we got to go out to the Bazaar Ramadhan EVERYDAY!!! Like waaah~ Because before this we only got to go out on Tuesday for Pasar Malam (which is today). At first I was quite reluctant to go to the Bazaar (Bazaar is located at the same site as Pasar Malam). But then, the UM girls decided to pay us a visit here in UIA. Yelah, dekat je kot.

So, dengan bersemangatnya bersiap siagalah untuk ke Bazaar. Thennn, when we were out of the compound we we totally surprised! Where in the name of Bazaar is the Bazaaar??? Hehs, it  happens that the Bazaar is sooo far away. It started at the end of the Pasar Malam site. JAUHH -.-' Mehh, semputt kot! Nevertheless, it was fun. Especially when we got to spend our first day of Ramadhan buying juadah berbuka puasa with our darling Hermanas :')

UM and UIA bergabunggg! XD

Just a few things to share. Know what's sooo special about Ramadhan? It is the month that the Holy Quran was sent down and the month of Lailatul Qadr. Did you that Ramadhan is the ONLY month in the Islamic calendar that is mentioned in the Quran? 

"The month of Ramadhaan is the one in which the Quran was sent down, a guidance for mankind, clear proofs for the guidance, the Criterion; so whoever amongst you witnesses this month, let him fast it." [Quran 2:185)

Hmm, just another more thought . Have you ever felt soo tired and felt that you just wanna lay in ur bed and building castles in the air during the Ramadhan? Well, did you know that our Prophet Muhammad and the Muslims had battled in the Perang Badar during the fasting months. Like WHATT? Depa semua boleh berperang time puasa. Kita ni boleh lagi mengeluh penat. Ish, ish, ish. Buat renungan semua ;)

Yeah, that's about that.

Haa, another Hadith from Sahih Bukhari;

"Whoever prayed at night in it (the month of Ramadan) out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven."  

Wokeyh.

Seems to be that I only posted 5 ENTRIES in JULY.

Sangat sikit -.-'

Lots to catch up.

Selamat Berpuasa, Berbuka, Beramal.

Maafku pinta dari anda semua.

Later.

Wassalam :)

It's Saturday.

Today I went tree planting, something I've been dying to do. I went to GCE's (Global Environment Centre) tree planting programme in Raja Muda Forest Reserve under the Environment and Nature club of CFS, IIUM. Bravo! I feel proud to actually participate in sumthing under IIUM.haaha It was super duper fun and awh-sooom! The best part is I meet new friends, who was super duper nice. And I learn that first impression can be deceiving. Anyway, GO GREEN people!!! LOVE our NATURE!

The seedlings.

Live well little one :)

All the participants, nature lover.

I still remember the moments of planting the mangrove trees in Langkawi. I hope they are in their greatest health and are growing into beneficial magnificent mangrove. Though mangrove take years to become a big tree, I just hope it'll survive. InsyaAllah. What I miss most is the moments of being with my PKTR family there and then. Addooooy. Seriously I miss them so damn much. The moments of 'korek-korek' the muddy floor, found little tiny crabs, getting sticky and dirty and muddy, crawling instead of walking, and the salty hot and cool air. 

Siddiq, pinjam gambar. Tq ;)

 

For the first time ever, I'm not coming home for the weekends. A really HUGE sacrifice. For what? For my Mid Sem Exam. When? On Mondayyy!!! Yeayyy! I'm very happy, NOT! Ohhmaygooddd. Nerve-wrecking gilakkk! Takut la. I don't have that confidence as I was in school dulu. Pfff! Enough is enough. Study must study. Yes it's right. 

Hoping for the best.

InsyaAllah.

Me got many things to share, later.

Wassalam.
