Review buku: Supaya Gelisah bernilai Ibadah

(1) Saya rasa tajuk buku ini dah menjelaskan mengenai isi kandungan buku ini. Cara penyampaian buku ini agak simple dan mudah difahami, walaupun isi kandungannya lebih kurang sama dengan buku 'La Tahzan' (Jangan Bersedih).

(2) Sesiapa yang nak mendalami keindahan agama dalam menghadapi kegelisahan dan kemurungan, buku ini highly recommended.

(3) Antara yang menarik mengenai buku ini, iaitu pandangan sisi oleh Tuan Guru Dato' Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat. Beliau menyatakan, walaupun terdapat teori psikologi yang menyatakan org bermasalah perlukan org lain untuk meluahkan perasaan, tetapi ini hanyalah teori. Yang kita perlu tahu, org itu pun manusia biasa, penuh kekhilafan dan mungkin akan memberikan pendapat atau cara membantunya mungkin salah..tetapi kalau kita pilih mengadu terus kepada Allah, itulah yang sebaiknya..kerana Allah ialah sebaik-baik pembimbing..mintalah kepadanya.

(4) Nak pinjam buku ni drpd saya pun boleh ;)

# bersama pandang sisi oleh Tuan Guru Dato' Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat"

Selaku orang yang beriman, apabila kita ditimpa musibah kita kena cepat-cepat ingat pada ALLAH dan kembali pada-NYA.Terdapat banyak doa-doa yang boleh membantu dan memujuk hati kita yang gelisah untuk menghadapi situasi yang merunsingkan kita itu." Tuan Guru Dato' Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat

Langkah kaki kita dalam kehidupan

(1) Menurut kata2 hukama', para Solehin waktu dulu cukup takut dan sedih sekiranya mereka tidak menerima sebarang ujian daripada Allah. Mereka faham bahawa ujian itu sebenarnya adalah cara terbaik untuk mendekatkan diri kepada yang esa..dan bila mereka tak dapat sebarang ujian, mereka merasakan seolah-olah Allah tidak 'memandang' mereka atau 'membiarkan' mereka. Almaklumlah orang bercinta..kalau kekasih hati kita tak endahkan kita..mestilah sedih kan.

(2) Bila ada ujian, kita akan mengadu domba dan byk berdoa kpd Allah..termasuklah saya. Masa itu, walaupun dalam keadaan sedih..tapi dapat rasa hembusan rahmat..walaupun tak banyak. Kata hukama', selangkah kita menghampiri Allah, 10 langkah Allah akan menghampiri kita. Begitulah kasihnya Allah kepada kita.

(3) Masalah timbul bila masalah diri dah mula hilang...konsistensi beribadah pun mula hilang. Masa beribadat ketekunan mula hilang. Saya dapat rasakan perkara ni..dan terus-terang saya agak terkilan dengan diri bila perkara ini berlaku. Saya pujuk-pujuk diri, dan doakan Allah sentiasa kekalkan hati saya dalam 'mode' ibadah yang sama dengan masa saya dalam keadaan sedih. Bukanlah saya minta Ar Rahman bagi saya banyak masalah..cuma saya selalu ingin rasa kemanisan beribadah semasa dalam keadaan bermasalah...di mana kita memujuk rayu tuhan sekalian alam.

(4) Kebanyakan kita ni bila tengah gembira kita lupakan tuhan, bila tengah sedih baru cari dia. Yang lagi teruk, dah la ada masalah..buat lagi perkara yang menjauhkan diri daripada rahmat..kononnya nak lepaskan tensen..tapi cara tak betul. Sebab tu kadang2 Allah turunkan masalah supaya kita beringat-ingat. Ada ayat Quran yang maksudnya lebih kurang "adakah kamu menyangka kamu boleh menyatakan kamu beriman..sedangkan kamu tidak diuji?". Sebolehnya, saya tak mahu diri saya jadi seperti ini, hanya bersungguh-sungguh bila ada masalah...saya tak mahu sangat jadi orang macam ini.

(5) Saya ini bukanlah orang yang baik sangat..tapi saya cuba. Saya harap pembaca pun cuba.

(6) Saya seronok bila akta halal nak dikuat kuasakan hujung tahun ni. Cuma saya harap ia dapat dipercepatkan lagi. Bila makan makanan tak halal, hati jadi keras, malas beribadah, jadi pemarah, kesedaran beragama kurang, hukum-hakan main langgar je, walaupun dah dinasihatkan berkali-kali. Ada beberapa orang yang saya kenal, yang berperangai macam ni, memang saya perasan tak control pemakanan mereka, halal ke..haram ke..janji sedap..dan perangai mereka memang susah nak lekat bila dinasihatkan bab agama ni. Kepada orang-orang ini..saya merayu..tolonglah..usahakan yang terbaik untuk diri anda. Sebagai kawan..saya nak kamu berubah..cuma saya tak mampu tegur kamu berdepan..ni saja yang saya mampu. Saya sayang kamu.

(7) Saya sayang kamu semua...betul..saya sayang kamu semua, pembaca-pembaca blog saya yang budiman..kamu semua kawan saya.

Thoughts..

(1) People have a way of becoming what you encourage them to be, not what you nag them to be.

(2) Other people don't make you what you are; they only reveal what you are.

(3) Clouds in our lives are sent to bring showers of blessings.

(4) To reach the port of Heaven we must sail sometimes with the wind, sometimes against it; but we must sail, not drift or lie at anchor.

(5) The next time the Devil reminds you of your past, remind him of his future.

(6) Patience is accepting a difficult situation from God without giving Him a deadline to remove it.

(7) To realize the worth of the anchor, we need to feel the storm.

(8) Faith makes the uplook good, the outlook bright, the future glorious.

(9) Worry pulls tomorrow's cloud over today's sunshine.

(10) Worry is the senseless process of allowing leftover problems from yesterday to distract you today and clutter up tomorrow's opportunities.

(11) Enjoy the little things. One day you may look back and realize that they were the big things.

(12) When you pray for God's guidance, do not complain if it is different from your preference.

May be...

MAY BE…

Maybe . . . it is true that we don'tknow what we have until we lose it,but it is also true that we don't knowwhat we have been missing until itarrives.

Maybe . . you should hope for enoughhappiness to make you sweet, enough
trials to make you strong, enough
sorrow to keep you human, and enough hope to make you happy.

Maybe . . . the happiest of peopledon't necessarily have the best of
everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.
Maybe .. . . the best kind of friend isthe kind you can sit on a porch and
swing with, never say a word, and then
walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
Maybe . . . happiness waits for all
those who cry, all those who hurt, all
those who have searched, and all those
who have tried, for only they can
appreciate the importance of all the people who have touched their lives.
May be . . you should do something nice
for someone every single day, even if
it is simply to leave them alone.

Maybe . . . there are moments in life

"Life is only traveled ONCE; Today's MOMENT becomes Tomorrow's MEMORY.
Enjoy every moment, good or bad, because the GIFT of LIFE is LIFE itself…."

when you miss someone -- a parent, a
spouse, a friend, a child -- so much
that you just want to pick them from
your dreams and hug them for real, so
that once they are around you appreciate them more.
Maybe … giving someone all your love
is never an assurance that they will
love you back. Don't expect love in
return; just wait for it to grow in
their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours
Maybe .. . . you should dream what you
want to dream; go where you want to
go, be what you want to be, because
you have only one life and one chance
to do all the things you dream of, and
want to do.

Maybe . . . the brightest future willalways be based on a forgotten past;
after all, you can't go on
successfully in life until you let go
of your past mistakes, failures and heartaches.

Wan's marriage (20th March 2010)

(1) Sekali lagi, aktiviti hujung minggu yang paling saya suka menjelma kembali, pergi rumah org kawen :)

(2) Selain drpd menikmati makanan yg best sikit drpd hari2 biasa, dapat tgk org ramai dgn pelbagai telatah, dan of course pengantin lelaki dan pompuan yg hensem dan cun.

(3) Wan adalah junior kolej saya masa di Ungku Omar, UKM. Saya x la rapat dgn dia, sbb lain persatuan dgn dia. Kawan2 sy yg rapat dgn dia panggil dia 'Wan Poyo'...saya tak tahu apa yg poyonye..tgk mcm ok je. Sy tak la panggil dia poyo...kurang sopan.

(4) Kami berempat pergi ke Senawang, Seremban untuk ke majlis ini. Sempatla ambil few pictures..enjoy :)

Lee laut tgh tunggu nak ambik makanan. Ramai sgt katanye...

Pezal sambil gigil2 tapi nak jugak buat tepung tawar

Bulan 5 ni, Lee laut dan Azhar akan kawen. Ni masa2 kecederaan utk kita bersama sebagai org bujang. Mudah2an, lepas kawen nanti, kita still bleh buat gathering camni. Patah kaki aku korang takde...lagi sunyi..

Review buku : Kampung Boy Yesterday and Today

(1) Saya beli buku ini hari Sabtu lepas, semasa berjalan bersama housemate. Sebenarnya sy mmg minat kepada lukisan kartunis Lat ni. Kali ni, saya mmg x mahu beli buku issue berat, just nak relax shj.

(2) Bila baca pengalaman Lat semasa kecil ni, mmg akan membawa kita mengimbas kembali kenangan kita sewaktu kecil. Ayat terakhir buku ini mmg menarik.."For one moment his laughter took me back to my childhood days...the days when we were not really in a hurry to grow up. We took our time...".

(3) Baru perasan skang ni budak2 mmg diajar utk membesar dgn cepat. Kadang2 x sempat menikmati zaman budak mereka. Sedihnya.

(4) Dengan harga hanya RM16.90 sahaja, mmg berbaloi utk dimiliki :)

Lights at the edge of the world..

(1) There's one fella that me and my friends know acted quite annoying to us. He liked to tease us. Well, I just barely know him, only for the last one and a half month. When I asked a friend, he said this person was a different person last time, but something happened to him that turned him to this 'new' person.

(2) He didn't say anything wrong to me..well, I can accept certain level of teasing. My friends like to talk about how annoyed they are with him, when he's not around. Sometimes I laughed, but in my heart I thought maybe he acted like that because he has a problem.

(3) Last Friday, as I and one of my colleagues was taking our evening drinks, this person came. We treated him as a companion, chatted with him as usual. As the conversation gone deeper, finally he exposed what is his problem. Simply said, he has a marital issue. I will not disclose details about his problem. I felt sad when hearing his story about how his youngest child called him, how he missed him. I finally knew how heavy the burden he has to carry. We exchanged our view on how to settle this matter, and gave him condolences, advices and strong motivational words to him. I knew it was not enough, but it was the least we could do.

(4) I said to them these words that I held on for these last 3 weeks.. "Kalau kesakitan dan air mata ini adalah harga yang diperlukan untuk Allah naik kan darjat ku di sisi Mu, maka aku redha..". I saw he gave me a deep stare, without anything to say. Maybe my words ran deeply into his heart. I'm happy if they help him in his struggle.

(5) In our lives, sometimes we felt our problem are big deals. But if we stare deeper inside life, they're many heroes that deal with bigger problem strongly and bravely. They are the lights at the edge of the world.
