"Dan jika kamu sekalian menghendaki (keredhaan) Allah dan Rasulnya-Nya serta (kesenangan) di negeri akhirat, maka sesungguhnya Allah menyediakan bagi siapa yang berbuat baik diantaramu pahala yang besar (33:29)".

chiken pox
MasyaAllah, sungguh saya tak sangka, sampai begini rupanya my body's reaction towards virus infection.
Semoga ianya menjadi kaffarah dosa buat saya;
Nabi s.a.w. bersabda, maksudnya: 'Tidak ada muslim yang ditimpa kesusahan, kesakitan yang berlanjutan, kerisauan, kesedihan, kecederaan atau kekhuatiran ataupun oleh duri yang mencucuknya melainkan Allah akan menjadikannya kaffarah bagi dosa-dosanya.' (Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim), ameen....
Kini saya bisa faham gimana ibu bisa jadi kuat depan anak-anaknya walau sedang sakit<--bahasa indonesia lebih dramatis =).
Doakan saya cepat sembuh ya, agar boleh jumpa antunna semua.
Dan pemulauan (kuarantin) pun kini bermula dengan rasminya.....

ALLAH Knows.....
janganlah engkau bersedih hanya kerana orang melupakan kebaikanmu, sekiranya benar engkau hanya inginkan pahala dari Allah.
Wahai diri,
janganlah gelisah apabila kebaikan yang engkau curahkan dibalas dengan celaan, atau budi yang kau hulurkan tidak dihargai dan dipandang enteng oleh manusia. Wahai diri, adukanlah laramu pada Allah. Mengapa rindu sayang manusia yang kau damba? Bukan rahmat, maghfirah dan kasihNya?! True, its normal for you wanting to be heard by human; they're tangible and visible. Namun, bukankah Allah yang paling memahami dukamu, bukankah Dia yang paling mengetahui isi hatimu?
"Dan tuhan-Mu lebih mengetahui apa yang ada dalam hatimu, jika kamu orang yang baik, maka sungguh, Dia Maha Pengampun kepada orang yang bertaubat" [Al-Isra':25]
Wahai diri,
jadikanlah semua amalmu itu ikhlas hanya kerana Allah semata -mata. Janganlah mengharapkan ucapan terima kasih dan puji-pujian orang! Carilah hanya balasan pahala dan redha dari Allah. Ikhlaskanlah hatimu.....iklhlaskanlah hatimu wahai diri.....
Allah berfirman tentang wali-waliNya;
"....mereka mencari kurnia Allah dan keredhaanNya..." (48:29)
tentang nabi-nabiNya ;
"...Aku tidak meminta sedikit upah pun darimu atas da'wahku.." (38:86)
"Dan aku sekali-kali tidak meminta upah darimu atas ajakan-ajakan itu; upahku tidak lain hanyalah dari Tuhan semesta alam" (26:109)
tentang hamba-hambaNya yang soleh;
"Sesungguhnya kami memberi makanan kepadamu hanyalah untuk mengharapkan keredhaan Allah, kami tidak mengkehendaki balasan dari kamu, dan tidak pula (ucapan) terima kasih" (76:9)
Wahai diri,
kenanglah kisah yang sangat menyentuh hati ini; saat perang di zaman Umar al-Khattab di kota Qandahar. Umar bertanya kepada sahabat; "Siapakah yang syahid?" Sahabat pun menyebut beberapa nama dan " masih banyak lagi yang syahid, yang nama mereka kau tidak ketahui (tak dikenali Umar)" Kemudian menitislah airmata Umar, lalu berkata "Tetapi Allah mengetahui mereka".
So as long as you believe that Allah knows and sees all the deeds that you do....
and appreciates your sacrifices and the priorities that you place....
then why would you anticipate for something from human?!
Astaghfirullahal 'Azim........Astaghfirullahal 'Azim........Wahai diri, katamu kau mahu yang indah itu...... katamu kau rindu syurgaNya itu........namun adakah nawaitumu benar-benar keranaNya? Ayuh buktikan!

buat insan S_L
as the clock swiftly ticks it hand pointer
the wee hours seems to flash by
cognizant to only a number of souls
which seemly to be thin on the ground
today
a new day, a new beginning..
the date ; 2nd May,
is a memorial day for a handful out there
a stage where, the 'teens' are left,
the 'tieth' zone is entered
commence with the golden age of 20
to a new era in the perspective of owns life
A glance on the outside world is inadequate
To revolve around it has just become one
of the keys of responsibilities
With the new chapter in your life
A new beginning stretch a new prospect
Though the past was blurry and filled with darkness
The path ahead should be used to revive the collapse that was made
Use your wisdom to the conform path
Recall, the world is not an amusement place
Laughter and glee should not replenish the day
Thus, massive exertion is demanded
To evade from taking the worldly life vaguely
The undertaking has increased
With the additional advance in years
Nevertheless,
we will always try to be there
To give you our shoulders
For you to lean on when adversity strikes on
Bear in mind,

He'll always be there
wherever you turn,
He's closer to you,
closer than you could ever possibly think of..
" Selamat Hari Lahir ke-20 Buat still_learning"
Love'fillah,
Al-Muhsinaatians..

a deliberation..?
Kept me wondering all night..
Have i been too oblivious all these years..?
Its simple, yet most people by pass this thing..
Referring to the 5th ayah of the Al-Alaq..
This refer to our Might Lord who taught man which what man do not know.
Often since our primary school, we have been taught that "Education is important! Don't be lazy! You need to pass with flying colors or else you will fail miserably through out your entire life!"
All these 'motivation' sayings put pressure on youths and cause them to be exam oriented. Which simply means, younger generations nowadays tend to focus on being a straight A1 student that mark clearly on a piece of paper at the end of the day than being an A1 servant of Allah in the whole entire life.
Yup, they do study hard or smart (famous type of studying these days) to achieve the scroll that shouts to the world "I am brilliant! I got a 1st Class Honors in my course! You wont regret if you hire me to work in your organizations or companies!"
I'm sure,at one point of our life, we all have gone through the impression or belief that the society needs only these kind of people. Why, if any of you could remember, which i certainly do despite i rarely remember things in detail, that all our past motivational talk that we have gone through, the emphasize on the importance of obtaining the ribboned scroll at the end of tertiary education. None or if they are, only few mentioned that we need to be an A1 person not only in school, but in our daily life and importantly an A1 servant in the view of Allah. Even, when a student manage to get up to 16-17 A1's, when were asked 'what's the secret behind your success?', rarely we will hear the answer, 'its a Big Help from the All Mighty. Without Him helping me in understanding all these knowledge i would not have succeed'. Rather, the answer that would be famous is 'i studied smartly, follow tightly to my timetable' or 'its pure luck (nasib baik je ni)' or 'use the XXpen,Xy eraser, XZ pencils in the exam, and you'll succeed like me'..
So, when a sis bring up the discussion of the first five ayah of the sura al-alaq, I was profound. Somewhere at the back of my head, i knew everything I studied for the past 11-12 years in my life and succeed to proceed my studying further was not solely base on my effort (yeah right, i used to be lazy, back in the primary & high school). It was actually due to a gift or some would say a bless given by Him. I used to only remember this during the peak-period of the exams week. And during the week when result will be released. Other than that, it would never come up to my mind.
An example that was being given during the slot discussion was
"ABC and EFG are both a science students. Both have no knowledge on any Arts subjects. So one say, both of them decides to undertake an art subject as an elective. They went together to the same lecture, sitting side by side, i.e. in the same environment. But then after each lecture, ABC seem to have more understanding on that subject compare to EFG.. EFG is confused. How did ABC manage to grasps all the information quickly?"
Here it clearly shows, if Allah wills it, He'll give or taught the knowledge to a person quickly, as ABC get. So it would rather be unreasonable to say to someone, I'm not as intelligent as you, or vice versa. Put a 110% effort in all the work, and if He will it, you'll get what you desire, and if not, remember that He knows whats the best for you.
Someone once mentioned to me that " If by getting sick you'll remember Allah more, than He gives sick as a gift to u often, if by getting healthy you'll remember Allah more, He bless you with the gift of health."..the list continues including the success and failure in our life. So, if by succeeding in your studies is how you'll remember Allah better, than He provides the gift of Success to you and so is the other way round.
And how to be an A1 student as well as being an A1 servant to the Lord? Well, if you know the essential components in being an A1 servant to Allah, you'll certainly know the need to be an A1 student. It comes in a bundle as a package. Thus, let us not just focus on 24-7 studying.. There's a relationship that we need to cater for, as it took precedence over all others, i.e. our relationship with Allah. Once we cater, care for this relationship, we will eventually cater our relationship with family, friends, society, nature..etc
This is a reminder to first and foremost myself(me), as I forget things easily and to others who share the same comprehension of the ayah as me. Always do remind me of these type of things...

Grid Manager..
The background details of the grid is much too boring..so lets move on to the next part..
[Start]
What is really the managerial grid? Why is it famous among the managements in various kind of organizations?
This managerial grid was proposed by 2 economist, Robert Blake and Mouton in the 1960's to get a relationship between the success of an organization with the people who are related to the organization. They come up with the grid as below
The grid clearly depicts that the concern for production increases as it go along the abscissa and similarly for the concern for people which increase as the ordinate increases.According to most people, well from most books and websites, they agreed that the (9,9) coordinate on the grid is the best type of management in all organizations. The concerns of the manager or leader is high in both people and production. The decision was done based on theory Y where people tends to work better if they are motivated by the knowledge of the company goals and objective.
How does this relate to our lives?
We are the organizations (being muslim could be think of as an organization) in our case.
There's no doubt that we should follow closely how our beloved prophet (saw) lived his life, nonetheless, in my opinion, the grid could certainly be a measure for us on what stand we're on now.
The abscissa line or the x-axis horizontal line, should be slightly change to the concern for the production (our production towards The All Mighty,Allah). And the ordinate or the vertical axis is our concerns to the welfare of the people on the ground we're currently able to stand on (alhamdulillah).
So, with this new grid, the muslim grid, certainly the best position is the (9,9) coordinate in which the production or ibadah towards Allah is to the maximum one can attain (different people has different capabilities), and the concerns towards the society state is also high. [jiwa yang sensitif tetapi kuat ;) ]
Now, plot ourself on the grid, which point on the grid are we standing today. What is our next point aim on the grid? Are we going to have a non-consistent graph throughout our life? Are we going to have a negative slope graph? are do we want to have a positive curve directing towards the (9,9) position and consistently to be there? We surely want the latter than the former (i hope we all do).
Yeah, thats true, no matter where we stand, the sincerity of the heart is what important. But it will surely be better if the sincerity in doing it + being on the grid (9,9). Its a plus..
So, everyday or night, we should reflect ourself what position were we today.
"Did I improve my position on this grid, or did i fall terribly from yesterday?
What can i do to boost my position towards my aim?
What make my position drop from yesterday? ...etc"
These are the questions one should ask oneself each day. (muhasabah diri)
A reminder to myself(me) and others as well which certainly often forgot what is the purpose of our life here when the world mount us and force us to submerge to the deepest of the sea.

Maafkan Teman
Bersama deruan ombak yang memukul pantai
Hatiku sayu bila mengenangkan
Perpisahan yang tak diundang
Bertahun kita melangkah bersama
Sela cita-cita buat bekalan ke sana
Harapan ayah bonda janji pada agama
Kitakan terus mara biarpun badai yang datang melanda
Kita hanya mampu berusaha
Hanya Allah menentukannyasegalanya adalah milik-Nya
Dalam berusaha kita diuji
Kekadang tohmah kita dicaci
Diturutkan rasa hati ingin dilepaskan beban ini
Mujur ada teman membantu
Sokonganmu buat inspirasi
Berpeganglah pada janji kita yang dibina
Semoga kitakan dirahmati
Oh teman....
Iman mempunyai 60 lebih cabang. Malu adalah salah satu cabang iman. (Riwayat al-Bukhari).
Whats ur Mood Today?
Ingatlah Allah, hati kan tenang
