Salam Hari Khamis (wow, dah khamis!!!)
Hari ini dah 13 ramadhan...cepatnya masa berlalu...
Alhamdulillah, masih diberi keizinan oleh Allah untuk berbuka dengan masakan sendiri..
beum lagi kaki ni bergerak ke param aka pasar ramadhan..(tak tahu param kat mana kalau area pantai dalam ni)...sepanjang 13 hari ni, rasanya baru 2 hari berbuka di luar, satu di SS 15, depan Subang Parade (aktiviti IKRAM PJ) manakala hari Ahad hari tu buka puasa di rumah TPM kat Sri Satria aka umah atok sedara Sofiya...
macam mana ramadhan kali ini? seronok kah! Ya, mmg seronok..tahun ni berkira nak buat biskut sendiri..ni pun tengah kumpul resepi..tapi kena ikut selera suami la kan! kan tak abis pulak biskut raya..
mmg selama ni masak pun ikut selera suami...masak lauk ke sayur ke..semua ikut selera suami..nnt ada pulak yang kena jadi DBKL kena abiskan makanan kan!
dan semalam baru settle urusan perkahwinan adik ipar..siapkan gubahan, patutnya adik yang buat, tapi MIL dia baru selesai operate jantung kat KB sana, so terpaksa la ulang-alik...alhamdulillah, baju raya tahun adalah baju yang bakal dipakai masa perkahwinan adik ipar nnt..so semua MIL yang settle..so tahun takde la kuar budget baju raya for husband and me..cuma sofiya je tempah gaun smocking...hope dpt before raya, kalau takde pun, pakai je baju gaun pemberian org.. actually sofiya ni rezeki murah..dpt baju2 dr nek jat..dah berapa kali dia dapat baju2 berjenama dari nek jat..walau second hand, masih boleh dipakai..lagipun ada beberapa baju yang belum sofiya pakai..boleh dibuat raya juga kan! kasut raya ingat nak beli kat metrojaya..berkenan color hitam tu, tapi memandangkan sofiya pun dapat kasut jenama crocs gitu, rasanya tak perlu la membazir kan! tunggu tahun depan baru beli kasut hitam, btul tak?? itu pun kalau masih dijupa dengan Ramadhan lagi kan!.
Alamak, tercerita pasal persiapan raya pulak..jom kita cerita pasal perjalanan ramadhan kali ini..apa azam ramadhan kali ini?? mahu abiskan 30 juzuk al-quran..so kalau hari ni dah 13 ramadhan, maka kena la juzuk 13 kan..ye dok?? kemudian tak nak miss sahur..alhamdulillah, masih mampu bangun bersahur walaupun hari ni hampir terbabas, bangun kul 4.58 pagi..macam mana pulak dengan qiam?? selain tu, jom checklist lagi, jaga pandangan, kurangkan mengumpat tapi kalau tak mengumpat lagi bagus...:-). jangan ada pembaziran..
skrg nak cerita pengalaman berbuka puasa under IKRAM PJ, pengalaman yang terlalu indah, iaitu berbuka puasa bersama-sama sahabat dalam talam..iyer, kat Johor, makan dalam dulang adalah perkara biasa (tak pernah tahu pun, maklum lah diaorg makan nasi ambeng)..tapi bagi saya mmg satu nikmat bila dapat makan sama-sama dalam talam kan! bukan semua org amalkan..pernah sekolah adik saya, al-amin, ada anak-anak org kaya berasa jijik makan dalam talam..mmg best tau berbuka dengan yang sama fitrah dgn kita..tapi masa berbuka dengan tpm pun sama, berbuka dengan kurma dan kuih muih, diikuti solat maghrib, baru makan makanan berat...kemudian dapat solat jemaah sama2 diikuti terawih..minggu ni insyaAllah akan menjayakan program IRIS di masjid Shah Alam..so sape 2 berdekatan, boleh la join..ada ustaz Zaharuddin, ada Dr. Harlina Hj Siraj...semoga program2 yang diikutinya dikira amal oleh Allah dan dapat memberi syafaat di hari perhitungan kelak...
Knowledge is something very vast, limitless and can be found everywhere. But the question is, have you been seeking knowledge? Or best, have you been seeking spiritual, Islamic knowledge to upgrade your deen and taqwa to Allah?
Most people often think that knowledge only comes from your high school textbooks. WRONG! What you learn from your textbooks isn’t the only source of knowledge! Even those FAQs and “how to upload photo on Facebook” you Google are also considered as knowledge ;D If knowledge is that easy to require, why not learn something new about Islam, your God Allah or even our beloved Prophet Muhammad today?
"Seeking knowledge is an obligation upon every Muslim." Truer words have never been spoken!
When the Quran began to be revealed, the first word of its first verse was 'Iqra' that is, read. Allah says:
"Read! In the Name of your Lord Who has created (all that exists). He has created man from a clot (a piece of thick coagulated blood).
Read! And your Lord is the Most Generous. Who has taught (the writing) by the pen. He has taught man that which he knew not" (96: 1-5)
Knowledge is so important that seeking it is a COMMAND from God. He has given you the perfect “tools” to acquire knowledge.
"And Allaah has brought you out from the wombs of your mothers while you know nothing. And He gave you hearing, sight, and hearts that you might give thanks (to Allaah)" (16:78)
And by “tools”; yup, those are your senses! Wise them to the fullest to seek precious knowledge! ♥
Since knowledge is LIMITLESS, how should we, Muslims, know which knowledge is best to acquire first? The most important knowledge that a Muslim must seek is the knowledge of “syirik / shirk” and all that relates to it. You must first learn and understand God and your religion, so know your priorities! Academic and wordly knowledge is as important as we need to live, and knowledge operates how we live (even methods of brushing our teeth requires knowledge, yes?)
And did you know that seeking knowledge is a form of Ibadaah? Paradise waits for knowledge seekers!
"Whoever follows a path in the pursuit of knowledge, Allaah will make a path to Paradise easy for him." (Al-Bukhaari)
Personally, I like gaining knowledge and information about Islam from the interwebz, especially from Youtube.com. There are many credible and awesome speakers from all over the world, plus it's more entertaining to see visuals. Look around and you might find really good ones!
(I personality recommend UmmahFilms / Baba Ali - go Google!) ♥ ♥
Last words: Don't stop seeking knowledge, even if takes you to China! Imagine yourself holding a BIG empty container or somesort, and each knowledge is represented by a piece of grain. Your mission is to fill up the container as much "grain", so don't ever give up on doing it and while you're at it - have fun!
