Kesibukan Anda, Alternatif Anda


Kesibukan ku,
kesibukan mu,
masing-masing hanyut dengan urusan masing2..
tapi tak semua boleh terus tsabat dalam perkara yang dibuatnya,
tika perasaan jemu itu datang,
apa yang kita lakukan??

kita manusia, bukan robot,
punya rasa, punya jiwa,
bila kebosanan itu datang apa yang terlintas difikiran kita yerr?
shopping kah??movie kah??chit chating kah??
sukar mempunyai jawapan yang exact
kerna setiap dari kita punya personaliti yang tersendiri..

Tapi sedarilah duhai diri,
bila rasa itu mendatang,
pilihan itulah menentukan siapa kita sebenarnya,
pilihan itulah yang menentukan pada siapa kita mencari ketenangan itu,
jika movie pilihan kita, mungkin pergantungan kita belum sepenuhnya kepada Allah,
jika shopping itu mententeramkan, mungkin berjumpa denganNYA masih belum menjadi kesukaan kita,
bila menalifon ibu yang difikirkan, mungkin kita belum cukup mengadu kepada DIA,
Benarlah kata itu, iman itu yazid wa yankuz

Ya! aku jua pernah seperti itu,
munkin pada ketika ini, masih ada saki baki itu,
tapi aku tak ingin mengalah,
aku ingin bermujahadah,
mengingatinya tiap masa,
tiap detik,
memikirkanNYA ditiap jantung berdetak,
Sukar! Benar!!!
tapi itulah mujahadah,
kerana syurga itu mahal harganya

Angin yang Bertiup

Fuuhh, angin bertiup kencang lagi hari ini,
sejak dua menjak ini, begitulah keadaannya,
mungkin tentera Allah ini dihantar unutk menggugurkan daun2 yang tersisa,
memandangkan telah hampir tiba masa untuk winter menjelma,
begitulah lumrahnya, pergantian akan terus berlaku,
malam berganti siang,
autumn diganti winter,
hidup berakhirnya mati,
segalanya punya aturan yang tersendiri...

merasakan angin yang bertiup merupakan nikmat Allah sebenarnya,
tanda masih wujud Allah meskipun tidak dapat dilihat,
tapi boleh dirasakan kehadirannya,
merasakan cinta, meskipun kelibatnya tiada,
Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah Alhamdulillah

Disebalik angin yang bertiup, turun pula gerimis menyentuh pipi,
ahh perasaannya lebih indah lagi,
jika tadi hanya angin yang menyapa,
kini titisannya dirasai,setitik demi setitik,
rasa disentuh dan dibelai oleh Allah seketika,
sebelum hujan menyembah bumi,
ahhh indah sungguh gerimis ini,
kasih sayang yang halus,
ingatan yang tulus,

Bayangkan jika Allah menurunkan hujan itu seperti simbahan baldi,
benar hujan diturunkan menurut sukatan yang sesuai,
berpadanan dengan apa yang patut diperoleh oleh bumi yang tandus itu,
"Dan Yang menurunkan air dari langit menurut kadar (yang diperlukan) lalu Kami hidupkan dengan air itu negeri yang mati, seperti itulah kamu akan dikeluarkan (dari dalam kubur)." (43:11)
jadi bisa saja Allah menyimbah sebaldi air jika itu yang diperlukan,
tapi tanda kasihNYA, dia kirimkan dalam bentuk hujan yang menitis,
subhanallah:)
Dialah Yang Maha Teliti,
Maha Pengasih,
Maha Penyayang,
segalanya telah tersedia indah buat KITA

gantilah sedikit demi sedikit

Setiap hari tengok kuku di ibu jari ni. tapi xfaham jugak, dok fikir2 apalah ibrah yg boleh di ambil..alhamdulillah satu hari di beri ilham oleh Allah hehhe
sementara menanti kuku baru tumbuh, kuku lama tidak terus tercabut, meskipun kuku baru masih sibuk memanjangkan diri, bergelut untuk terus penuhkan ruang kulit bagi menggantikan kuku lama yang mulai rosak. kadang-kadang, intai jugak di bawah kuku ni, ada ke x kuku baru, dah siap ke belum kuku ni? cuba digerak-gerakkan, alhamdulillah sedar tak sedar dia dah hampir siap
sebenarnya dalam hidup kita macam tu jugak. sometimes we want to get rid those nasty jahiliyah deep inside us. but we know its hard to forget, even harder to stop doing it. But who ask you to get rid 100% in 10 seconds? Thats even make it worst. Just like the kuku yang mula memburuk ditarik terus. Ouch! couldn't even imagine it. That's why Allah design it to change gradually as He is the best best planner.
We know the urgency to replace it, so take it slowly.
bit by bit. Do two things at once. Replace and remove. Then without realizing it you actually almost get rid it successfully without hurting it, insya Allah.

Bertaqwalah kepada Allah di mana saja kamu berada, dan gantilah keburukan dengan kebaikan, niscaya dengan kebaikan akan menghapuskan keburukan dan bergaullah dengan manusia dengan ahlak baik”

(Hadist Riwayat Ahmad dan Tirmidzi).

**SnowBoarding**

Can you believe that I actually did that? I myself found it unbelievable but I DID IT. Alhamdulillah Thank You ALLAh for the chance you gave me. Initially I planned to play both sledge/toboggan and chairlift. But secretly inside of me I wanna try something adventurous either enhance my skill in ski or try snowboarding which is something cool I think. But at the same time I am thinking, what is the purpose of playing such dangerous game. In the end I know that it will harm me and I might arch my body for at least three days. But at least I want to try it. That is just me. I LOVE adventurous activity, something that need me to try hard and strive for the best to obtain my goal. I LOVE anything that could make my adrenaline rush. Am I weird? Hehehe obviously no.

So I decide to snowboarding the next day on Mt Ruapehu. A place that I miss to have a second visit, seriously. So after an hour drive from our accommodation, we safely arrive. Alhamdulillah Thank You Allah for giving me this second chance looking at the magnificent creation of Yours. Subhanallah Alhamdulillah Allahuakbar. I am hoping that I could be as pure as the white snow. It has no stain, no impurities and completely clean. It gives calmness to everyone who is looking.
"For those who persevere in doing good there is the ultimate good in store, and more [than that]. No darkness and no ignominy will overshadow their faces [on Resurrection Day]: it is they who are destined for paradise, therein to abide. [10:26]
Insya Allah.
Ok Snowboarding, whats about it? It is a game where you stand on a board, which looks almost like skateboard but the only difference is it doesn't has any tire but your feet are placed on the board and attached to it. And simply say, I just need to stand and slide on the ice down the hill. Sound simple right. But nothing is easy in life. We need to work hard to obtain something.
"and that nought shall be accounted unto man but what he is striving for. and that in time [the
nature of] all his striving will be shown [to him in its true light] [53:39-40]
I took a lesson for one and a half hour in a group of 6; one Australian, a father and twin from New Zealand, my friends and I. It was a good one, the teacher teach us everything from the basic; how to stop, how to move forward and how to control your balance. It just like when I first learn to drive, but on a different vehicle. I bumped on other people, I am uncontrollable, I fall down either in front or on my back and that is how I learn to snowboard. The teacher watched us closely.
But after the class I still couldn't do it proper way. I am afraid of doing it on my own, without any supervision. Even to stand up on your own is hard enough. I put a lot of strength just to stand on my own feet. And it is hard, but after a few times trying on my own, telling myself that I could do it, observe closely on others technique and listening to other parent teaching their child, I tried to combine the skills and do it on my won. Alhamdulillah, I manage to do it after a few trials. And now I just couldn't stop it, I wanna do it properly. So I climbed the hill once again and try to slide again. Of course I fell down in the process, but because I know that I will reach the end of the track and my time given is limited, so I want to do it right. I don't want to go back with no achievement, with no great experience to be remembered.
That is just how we should live our life. Especially as a Muslim. Our time on this earth are limited before we returned to our Creator. We will face many hardships in between before we reach the end of our short life. But we must do it in a proper way because we believe that The Day of Judgment will come and we dont want to come back empty handed. Astaghfirullah Al-Azim. If I want to do it right for snowboarding, why dont I don't I put my best on my eternal life at the end? Astaghfirullah Al-Azim.
Thank You Allah for the chance you gave me, for the beneficial ibrah (pengajaran) You taught me. Alhamdulillah, snowboarding is fun. I learn a lot about my own self. What type of person I am and what is my strength and my weaknesses. From there I will start evaluate and repair, Insya Allah.

Cast Away while driving

Driving in New Zealand is not that hard. The road is fairly straight and the cars on the road is countable. Alhamdulillah everything went smoothly as planned. It is my first time driving for Jaulah (short road trip) and I am delighted to be chosen, Alhamdulillah. I know that I am not good as a presenter but at least this is where I can give out something. May Allah Bless us all ameen. We have 10 vans convoy from Auckland to Mt Ruapehu which take approximately 5 hours driving. The scenery is undeniably wonderful, Subhanallah. Only He can Create this beautiful world and every thing in between the earth and the sky are praising Him.
"ALL THAT IS in the heavens and all that is on earth extols God's limitless glory: for He alone is almighty, truly wise!"[As Saff 61:1]

But some us need to go back to Auckland early and 2 vans were involved which include the van I drove. So instead of becoming a driver, I became a co-pilot yesterday. Still it is a great experience as I have more opportunity to look around and at the same time ta'aruf (berkenalan) with the my friend who drove the van. Looking on the other side, I feel like being downgraded (turun pangkat) and I remembered one of the verse in Quran, about syaitan who was being rejected from the heaven. It was taken from Surah Al-A'raf,
"He said: What hindered thee that thou didst not fall prostrate when I bade thee? (Iblis) said: I am better than him. Thou createdst me of fire while him Thou didst create of mud. (12)

He said: Then go down hence! It is not for thee to show pride here, so go forth! Lo! thou art of those degraded. (13)
He said: Reprieve me till the day when they are raised (from the dead). (14)
He said: Lo! thou art of those reprieved. (15)

He said: Now, because Thou hast sent me astray, verily I shall lurk in ambush for them on Thy Right Path. (16)
Then I shall come upon them from before them and from behind them and from their right hands and from their left hands, and Thou wilt not find most of them beholden (unto Thee). (17)
He said: Go forth from hence, degraded, banished. As for such of them as follow thee, surely I will fill hell with all of you. (18)

Astaghfirullah Al-Azim. Allah has preserve this story in the Quran for us to think, reflect and learn from it. Iblis doesn't want to obey Allah's order to prostrate Adam; thinking that he is superior that Adam who was created from mud while he was made from fire which is far better that him who was made out of mus. Astaghfirullah Al-Azim. And because of his arrogance, he was dispel from where he initially live.
Therefore this type of behavior; feeling superior than others is never acceptable in heaven. Feeling strikes by lightening when I hear that. "Oh, that is the message of this story", do I have that attitude within me? within ourselves? Just keep the answer to yourselves and He knew it. Being cast away, Iblis promised that he will find his follower to be with him in hell. In verse 17, he promised that he will come from all direction persuading us to be disgrateful. Feeling bad about what we have. Maybe that is why we found ourselves complaining all the time. Nauzubillah.
Just imagine, one of your friend keep on following you, not by your side, but keep looking at you while talking. Initially he is on your side that he move to your right and later change to your back. Eeeee sounds like worst that a stalker, doesn't it? Nazubillah, May Allah keep us all on the Right path. Ameen.
Oh yes, another important message from these verses are the importance of du'a. Iblis is also one of Allah creation and we believe that they exist even we can't see it visually. And as a slave, everything we do, we ask the creator's permission. That is one of the Iblis's good point eventhough they are mean, cruel etc etc. And Allah granted his wish. Even Ia person is as cruel as him, Iblis pray to Allah and make a dua, what about us? Insya Allah, we are not at the same level as him, so ask His guidance and Insya Allah He will grant it.
"And when My servants question thee concerning Me, then surely I am nigh. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he crieth unto Me. So let them hear My call and let them trust in Me, in order that they may be led aright. (186)
