Wisdom advice

Pernah satu ketika seorang sahabat Rasulullah saw, Ibnu Masud didatangi oleh seorang lelaki yang raut wajahnya murung (berduka). Lalu lelaki itu berkata:

 "Wahai Ibnu Mas'ud, berikanlah kepadaku satu nasihat yang dapatku jadikan sebagai penawar untuk hatiku yang gelisah ini. Sejak akhir-akhir ini, perasaanku tidak begitu tenteram, jiwaku sentiasa gelisah, fikiranku juga selalu kusut. Aku tidak selera hendak makan, tidurku pun tidak lena."

Mendengar itu Ibnu Mas'ud terus berkata: 

"Sekiranya itulah penyakit yang menimpa jiwamu, maka hendaklah kamu bawa hatimu mengunjungi tiga tempat iaitu ,

1)tempat orang membaca al Quran sama ada kamu membacanya atau kamu mendengarnya. 

2)Kedua, majlis pengajian yang mengingatkan hatimu kepada Allah dan 

3)ketiga, carilah tempat dan waktu yang sesuai supaya kamu dapat beribadat kepada Allah SWT dengan khusyuk dan tulus ikhlas.

The medicine

i should be writing my PPA now, but I'm blogging instead.
these past few days have been a few of my bleakest in my life, thus far. alhamdulillah, during these so-called bleakest hour i've found my light. so the saying is true, there's always light at the end of the tunnel.

a mother's hugs and eyes are more than enough to wash away doubts, partly. and i am forever grateful for that matter. alhamdulillah. and the other medicine that have always worked out is reciting al-quran. I'm blessed to have someone who constantly remind me the importance of reading al-quran. I'm not saying I'm all good enough by doing so, no, it's not it. the point is, the tranquility we'll get each time, i repeat, each time after reciting quran. it's just too good to be true. for that person who always and always and always check on my quran's recitation, i am forever and ever grateful to have you in my life. alhamdulillah.

Perumpamaan orang mu’min yang suka membaca al-Quran ialah seperti buah utrujjah (اَلْاُتْرُجَّة), baunya enak dan rasanya pun enak.  Dan perumpamaan orang mukmin yang tidak suka membaca al-Quran ialah seperti buah kurma, tidak ada baunya, tetapi rasanya manis.  Adapun perumpamaan orang munafik yang suka membaca al-Quran ialah seperti minyak harum, baunya enak sedang rasanya pahit.  Dan perumpamaan orang munafik yang tidak suka membaca al-Quran ialah seperti rumput hanzolah (اَلْحَنْظَلَة), tidak ada baunya dan rasanya pun pahit.”

The Time Keeper

Mitch Albom.
The Time Keeper.

this is his latest book. i started with Tuesdays With Morrie, couple of years back; that i finished in one night with red, swollen eyes due to crying. i never cried that much in my entire life for a character i did that night. it's such a good book. you can borrow from me.

so this time around, I didn't cry as much as i did from his previous books (Have a little faith, Five People you meet in Heaven, and For one More Day), however i shed some tears like it was obligated to do so after/during reading his writing. i mean, when people talk to you indirectly about hope, about being hopeful about how we spent our life, how we're gonna spend the rest of our life in a manner that speaks directly to your heart, you just cry, don't you? The Time Keeper mentioned about how we always rush into things, rushing to the end without wanting to enjoy the moment we ever had, or the one we're having now.

take myself for an example, when i start reading a book i want to know the end so badly. never once i did flip the last page, only i have this anxiousness that makes me read faster without really appreciate what's been told. so yeah, i rush things. i rush into making decision.

"Manusia itu sifatnya tergesa-gesa". one of the ayat in the Quran. (I'm very sorry, I forgot which surah it is). there, the theory of this book is proven.

Hence, from now onward, i'll make this as one of my small jihad to overcome my weakness. to complain less, and be more grateful for all the time i have in this world. for all the time my parents', friends', sisters', families' have for me. for us.

one of my favourite line from this book is;
Moment. you either let it pass, or grab it.

A&H lah sangat

Assalamualaikum :)

Hello people. i am still breathing and currently happy because now i can do work from home, at night. hopefully, there'll be no more stay late at the office. why would i want to stay there if i have this one comfy bed with pillows at home? i can do work in bed! yes yes yes.

if you refer to my last post, i did blog about Adam&Hawa the series. I'm not saying I'm all hooked up to that show, it just that, well it's not that bad either. for now, i still am stuck at episode 10 because i was so angry watching it. i would never imagine if i had to go through what she had to, like excuse me, one minute you're all happy kindy teacher who is waiting for placement in the uni, and the minute later, without even your mistake you are married to irresponsible jerk that can be classified as "murahan" since he calls every girl he meets as "sayang/darling". i know it's not real. it's fiction but still, the pain would still be the same, if it we real. i'm easily influenced you see. from someone who were really against to watch the drama (because i don't agree that Aaron Aziz got the role, not because he'a not good but simply because he's not physically fit for the character. hello, Adam Mukhriz should be more or look younger, and macam poyo2 sikit with goofy smile which Aaron doesn't have!) but never mind, he plays the role really well. since a few colleagues from office talked about it constantly and housemate(s) that is/are drooling over Adam's character thus i made my mind to give it a try.

well, i believe there's a lot more novel-base would come out. maybe, Kau Yang Satu or maybe Sehangat Asmara. I read too much novels after PMR! the effect of being in all-girls boarding school where you have constant supplies of Sweet Valley (that one!), Fear Street, Ahadiat Akashah's. the good old days. talking about growing up, it has been almost 7 years since i left high school. sweeeeeeeet memories!

i have ACD on Wednesday. wish me luck baby!
