Soal bicara.

Saya ada seribu satu kelemahan. Saya tahu... cuma saya nak berkongsi. Saya tak berapa suka akan kekata ni...

"Eh kenapa awak buat macam tu? Mak awak tak ajar ke?"

Kenapa perlu cakap gitu... terlalu belum dapat nak terima. Seorang mak terlalu mulia. Tidaklah semulia para Anbiya' dan Rasul... tapi awak faham kan maksud saya? Seorang ibu patut, wajar, harus, dan berhak dihormati. Walaupun dia bukan ibu awak...

Mungkin ibu tu kurang beri pendidikan kepada anak dia, tapi ibu tak patut dipersalahkan. Tak patut. Salahkan pelaku... jangan salahkan pendidik yang niat dia tersangat murni. Seorang ibu selalu mengharapkan yang terbaik. Liqa' Pencipta kita, ru'yatullah, syurga... itu semua terlalu dekat dan mudah untuk kita capai kalau kita muliakan ibu. Tapi terkadang susah kan? Saya faham. Tapi cuba k. Oh - nanti... jangan cuma cuba. Tapi usaha k. Usaha untuk jadi yang terbaik. =)

Di belakang awak, belakang saya... ada satu generasi yang akan kita bentuk. Anak-anak kita yang akan kita didik untuk menjadi Muslim yang baik agar dapat pertahankan agama ni. Jadi... kita mula dengan perubahan dalam diri kita sendiri k. Bismillah. =)

Doakan k? Bismillah! =)

He is, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Bismillah. As he opened the door, he said Bismillah. It was pleasant to hear. It gave so much calmness and serenity. The heart was captivated. Actually… it still is. Since then, the train of thoughts in my mind has never been silent. Never.

I continued to watch as he disappeared behind the door. Opening the door was such a simple task. There were no risks whatsoever. I mean… what were the odds that the door would fall down on him? Or that there'd be something dangerous behind? No... there are no risks. None at all. Rabb! 

Bismillah. Such a simple, three syllable phrase. Yet I've always forgotten to recite it during many instances. Allah has always been keeping me under His rahmah, yet I walk on Earth with oblivion. It's not difficult to recite Bismillah... it never was, and never will be. That man was someone He sent to heal me of my blindness...

!ربنا إنا نسألك أن تجعل أوقاتنا كلها بذكرك معمورة 

That one small action, reflected a lot in him. His remembrance for Allah. His reliance on his Creator. His belief that anything – even the simplest task – needs has to be started and done with His name. For nothing is certain. Only that fact, is the only certainty in this world.

Allah has given me realization when I least expected it...

He is, the Most Gracious. Most Merciful. 

Itukah Nadim?

Ku gapai bintang-bintang
Tinggi di langit tersimpan
Ku terduduk terdiam
Bintang belum di tapak tangan


Hajat di hati tak sampai
Ingin memeluk gunung 
Jika budiku disangkal 
Manakan ku cari pangkal

Understanding one heart, one soul.

You know, when you open both your eyes and your heart... there's a lot to see. =)

You see a lot of people around you. Your loved ones. People you are fond of. Newly found friends. The list goes on. You're living, breathing, loving, and forever discovering... there's always something new to learn with every second. And like me, you'd find it interesting that every single person have different, unique personalities. Personalities which complement another person. The best qualities in a few people - if combined - would make the Perfect man. But to have Perfect People is made impossible, because the Creator wants us to have compassion, and to be wise. Not everyone can be kept deep in your heart. You'd need guidance to know who should be kept safely there. =)

It's not difficult to understand and get to know a person better... you can just look at the person's body language, tone and way he speaks, past experience, books he reads, songs he listens to, his sentence structure in writing, handwriting, interests, and his idea of an ideal partner. To understand a person is quite a tiring process, but it's fun! (to me)

Want to give it a try? Especially to readers who don't know me at a personal level - if there are any - try to create an image of what kind of person i am! Ahhh... I like guessing games! =)

Ok... I'll just give the books I like to read and songs I like to listen to. Here are among my favourite reads: 

(I accidentally left my copy of BBC Knowledge which I brought from Singapore in the plane when I returned to Cairo!!! Am upset about it until now...... =( I love the magazine so much. Good for people who wants to be entertained by quick facts! =) Upset! Upset! =( )

For songs... I listen to nasyid. And English songs when I'd like to feel that I'm um, cool and awesome and groovy. (?) Among the singers and their songs that I like most are:

1. Zee Avi - Bitter Heart, Honey Bee, Just you and me, Somebody you used to know (Wonderful songs!)

2. Jack Johnson - Better Together

3. Kris Allen - No Boundaries, Live like You're Dying 

(intriguing... both has Islamic content), Heartless

4. Micheal Buble - Havent met you yet

5. Daniel Powter - Next Plane Home

6. Emily Bear (piano) - Journey to my Heart, Tomorrow's Wishes

Somehow I don't seem to remember what other songs I like... but I think that should be enough information. Go figure! =) 

I'll meet you sometime soon ok. InsyaAllah. Till later, Assalamu'alaikum. =)
