Goodbye my blog!

Assalamualaikum.

Today, I want to say something sad. Well, I'm no longer going to update this blog.

Sad isn't it? Not really.. Hee

I'm writing on a new medium which is http://langitilahi.com/

I update one article per week on this website. English Column yaw!

I'll also share new short stories and poems here. 

I can't afford to update two sites at a time. I'm only human.

So, guys, meet me and my friends at http://langitilahi.com/!

May Allah bless!

I don't know, I just don't know

"Death is a beautiful Sunset"

One death after another,

makes me shiver.

When it is my last breath,

will I be ready for my death?

Before Allah, will everything go cool?

Or will I become a fool?

I don't know, 

I just don't know.

*One death again after Ustaz Dahlan, Ummi Halimaton, Sir Yahya & Sir Ghazali, My former teacher, Ustaz Yasamsuri passed away at 4.20am this morning. He used to teach me Usul Fiqh. He is a great teacher. Even his salary is paid by University of Madinah. Other people are celebrating teachers day with joy, but I, with full of tears. His DEATH is for us to remember this day.

I don’t know what to say actually, but I think I’m in LOVE with Maher Zain. LOVE not in the sense that I favour his physical attributes, but because he is a muslim singer spreading the ultimate code in life! Mashaallah!

            According to hadith:

Narrated Anas ibn Malik:

A man was with the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and a man passed by him and said: Apostle of Allah! I love this man. The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) then asked: Have you informed him? He replied: No. He said: Inform him. He then went to him and said: I love you for Allah's sake. He replied: May He for Whose sake you love me love you! [1]

May Allah always make you firm in spreading Islam to the world, Maher Zain.

Andainya..

Kau rasa tak berupaya
Hidup sendirian tiada pembela
Segalanya suram, bagai malam yang gelap
tiada bantuan, tiada tujuan

Janganlah berputus asa..
Kerana Allah bersamamu..

[chorus]

InsyaAllah... InsyaAllah...
InsyaAllah... Ada Jalannya...

Andainya..
Kesalmu berulang lagi
Bagai tiada ruang untuk kembali
Tika keliru atas kesilapan lalu
Membelenggu hati dan fikiranmu

Janganlah berputus asa...
Kerana Allah bersamamu...

Kembalilah....
Kepada yang esa
Yakin padanya,panjatkanlah doa..
OOoo~ Ya Allah...
Pimpinlah daku dari tersasar
Tunjukkan daku ke jalan yang benar..
Jalan yang benar...Jalan yang benar..
Jalan yang benar...

[Chorus]

ON THE HIGHWAY

ON THE HIGHWAY

“AKHI, YOU’LL DRIVE” I said to my sahabah, Raja Azman while handing over the car key of my Kancil 660 to him. Yeah, he did drive and still driving because the moment I’m posting this post, we are “ON THE HIGHWAY” to IIUM (International Islamic University Malaysia) in Gombak, Kuala Lumpur.

As we are “ON THE HIGHWAY”, I think this is the best time to reflect on our life’s road that we are currently going through. Every one of us is a traveler who seeks something that is achievable in life. We seek something that we can gain every second and make sure that we are not the same as we are a second ago. If we are the same person as we are before, then we are merely scum, we are useless. We are nothing to everything and yet we feel satisfied as if our deeds are recognized by ALLAH. A poet once said "We take delight in every day that we have lived, yet each day that passes is a portion of  our lifetime gone."

Each day that passes, each moment we’ve gone through is, as it were, a leaf that has withered and fallen from the tree of our life. May Allah have mercy on Al-Hasan al-Basri when he says: "O son of Adam! You are but a bundle of days. As each day passes away, a portion of you vanishes away!"

So that is why we have to seize every second in life and should sometimes take five and applies the brakes in order to measure our performance. An intelligent, sensible person ought to do likewise, in respect of his life. More than that, he should beseech Allah to bless his life, make his day better than yesterday, and his tomorrow better than today.

In Penang before we parted from my other companions, Ikrimah Husni, Saiful Rahman, Ridhuan, Faris Fitri and Najmi, they all said “Drive carefully and may ALLAH be with you guys.” The advice by them has two parts. The part that says “drive carefully” maybe us as a human beings can do by applying the greatest care and skill while driving, but the second part that says “…may ALLAH be with you guys” is a part that only ALLAH can do. We can take all the precautions but If ALLAH wills that we will DIE in accident than who knows? Only ALLAH knows. HE is the best planner:

54. and (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.

  Please pray for us so that our journey to IIUM is a safe journey and most importantly a journey that is shadowed by ALLAH.
