two years

Two years. That is the time given. 63 millions 72 thousand seconds to be exact. Hurm. Quite a long time eh? So, the decisions have to be made. Should i wait, or should i not?

inshaAllah i will wait.

stand by you forever

Would you dance if I ask you to dance? Would you run and never look back Would you cry if you see me crying Would you save my soul tonight? Would you tremble if I touch your lips? Would you laugh oh please tell me these Now would you die for the one you love? Hold me in your arms tonight? I just want to hold you I can kiss away the pain I will stand by you forever You can take my breath away Would you swear that you'll always be mine?

The Red Warrior!

Kita bina Mahligai Merah atas runtuhan Seri Menanti!

surah ini untuk saya

Alhamdulilah, praise be to God, Who keeps reminding me everytime i forget. This chapter (alha kumuttakassur) is for us, who are constantly busying ourselves with studies, works, families etcetra that sometimes we forget what is our priority.

And what exactly is our priority then? Allah swt answers in surah ad-dzariyat, verse 56: Dan (ingatlah) Aku tidak menciptakan jin dan manusia melainkan untuk mereka menyembah dan beribadat kepadaKu.

Let us enjoy this surah and reflect upon where exactly our main priorities are, inshaAllah.

Surah at-takathur:1-8

Dengan nama Allah yang Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang.

Kamu telah dilalaikan (daripada mengerjakan amal bakti) oleh perbuatan berlumba-lumba untuk mendapat dengan sebanyak-banyaknya (harta benda, anak-pinak, pangkat dan pengaruh) [1]
Sehingga kamu masuk kubur[2].
Jangan sekali-kali (bersikap demikian)! Kamu akan mengetahui kelak (akibatnya yang buruk semasa hendak mati)! [3]
Sekali lagi (diingatkan): Jangan sekali-kali (bersikap demikian)! Kamu akan mengetahui kelak akibatnya yang buruk pada hari kiamat)![4]
Demi sesungguhnya! Kalaulah kamu mengetahui (apa yang kamu akan hadapi) dengan pengetahuan yang yakin, (tentulah kamu akan mengerjakan perkara-perkara yang menjadi bekalan kamu untuk hari akhirat)[5].
Demi sesungguhnya! Kamu akan melihat Neraka yang marak menjulang[6].
Selepas itu, demi sesungguhnya! Kamu akan melihatnya dengan penglihatan yang yakin! [7]
Selain dari itu, sesungguhnya kamu akan ditanya pada hari itu, tentang segala nikmat (yang telah kamu nikmatinya)! [8]

Song For Someone

The Frames



This is the latest band i am listening to and i think they are awesome. They sound a little similar to Damien Rice in style i guess, but very different in the subjects they deal with. Damien Rice gives me a feeling of sadness and a general sense of disappointment about people. While The Frames seems rather more positive in their outlook of things.

The lead singer, main songwriter, guitar player for this band is Glen Hansard , the guy who acted in Once and who wrote and sang most of the songs in Once. So you can say i am a fan of Glen Hansard music too. Just like Damien Rice, he was originally a busker from Grafton Street, Dublin, Ireland. I guess the Irish people are a pretty emo bunch of people. Bands like U2 and The Corrs are from Ireland too. I have got to go visit this holy land of emo-ness one day.

Anyway, this song is entitled "song for someone", and it deals with the question of if we are meant for someone, and when on will that person appear. I reckon from the lyrics that Glen believes in predestination, which i do too.

And yes, i thought it would be apt for me to blog about this song, cause there are still pitiful souls like me still waiting for that special "someone" to appear.

Today, what have I done for Allah?

Berlapang dadalah kalian wahai dai'e-dai'e di medan dakwah.

Jalan itu memang begitu.

Tugasmu bukan memaksa perubahan, tetapi sebagai penyampai pesan.

“Oleh itu berikanlah sahaja peringatan kepada manusia, dan janganlah berdukacita kiranya ada yang menolaknya, kerana sesungguhnya engkau hanyalah seorang pemberi ingatan; Bukanlah engkau seorang yang berkuasa memaksa mereka (menerima ajaran Islam yang engkau sampaikan itu)” [al-Ghasyiah 88: 21-22]

The wise man

“Wahai anak kesayanganku, dirikanlah solat, dan suruhlah berbuat kebaikan, serta laranglah daripada melakukan perbuatan yang mungkar, dan bersabarlah atas segala bala bencana yang menimpamu. Sesungguhnya yang demikian itu adalah dari perkara-perkara yang amat besar dan penting untuk dilakukan” [Luqman 31: 17]

His promise

Dan apabila hamba-hambaKu bertanya kepadamu mengenai Aku maka sesungguhnya Aku dekat; Aku perkenankan permohonan orang yang berdoa apabila ia berdoa kepadaKu. hendaklah mereka menyahut seruanku (dengan mematuhi perintahKu), dan beriman kepadaKu, agar mereka memperoleh kebenaran.

al-baqarah: 186

dissapointment

People put so much faith in me, they really believe in me, but i have dissapoint them all.

The One

Praise be upon you, O God, the most worthy of all praises. Forgive me for who i am o God, who only turn to You when he is in despair but always forgets You afterwards.

With all the mistakes i have done and the wrongdoings of my past, present and future, i don't have any rights to ask anymore from you o God. But by You in whose Hands my soul is, truly i need you.

The most merciful, the most benovelent, i ask for your kindness, for your mercy and for your help, guide me through this. I am Your servant, whom without your kindness would be left alone in the darkness of jahilliyah.

O Allah I submit my soul to You, and I turn my face to You, with Your endless mercy, help me overcome this darkness and make it easy for me to go through the challenges.

O Allah, Whom will never burden his servants more than he can bear, lift off the burden from my soul, grant me forgiveness, and grant me good in this world and the world hereafter.

O God, from You I have come from, to you I will return to and to You shall I ask for mercy.

Rabbana zalamna anfusana wa in lam taghfir lana wa tarhamna lanakunanna min-al-khasirin. Rabana la tuzigh qulubana ba'da idh hadaitana wa hablana min ladunka rahmah innaka antal-Wahhab. Rabbana aatina fid-dunya hasanah, wa fil-akhirati hasanah, wa qinaa adzaban naar. Wa qina adzaban naar. wa qina adzabannar.

Amin.
