Last Thursday, my sahabat Akmal Zaim fetched me at my hostel to meet our beloved sahabat Ahmad Faiz Muhamad Sabri. Faiz went back to Malaysia from Egypt for vacation.

Together with us was Ali NHA. We planned to meet at KLCC.Alhamdulillah,everything just going fine.

We had our drink at KLCC food court and Faiz paid for it. We were also spend sometimes wondering around inside Kinokuniya book store and KLCC park.

We had our lunch at KLCC food court. Guess what?I only had a plate of rice+chicken+vege and it cost me RM13.00..Masya Allah.That was the first and the last time for me to go there.

Site visit

Friday, 7th August 09

3rd Year students from QS Department, IIUM went for a site visit of Tan Sri Azman Hashim Complex which is still under construction.

This complex is located inside the IIUM campus which is near to the river side and The Great Hall of CAC.

Tan Sri Azman who is the owner of the Am Bank has contributed some of his wealth to the community specifically to the IIUM community by constructing this complex. This luxurious complex will accomodate for book shop, Banks (Bank Islam, Muammalat and Am Bank), and exclusive cafeteria.


The Boyz + Bro Azrin


The contract sum of this project is approximately 6.5 Mil. However, due to the complexity of the design, the curtain walling alone cost about 2.5 Mil.


The expensive curtain walling


Actually, the date of completion for this project was on 27 June 2009. However, due to some discrepancies in the drawings and some other problems, it is expected to complete by October this year. The contractor is still applying for EOT to be approved.


Constructing the drainage

Thanks to Bro Azrin and the part timer together with bro Amru (S.O.R) for accompanied us during the whole visit.

As busy as bee

I don't know why this sem I feel like I have no time for rest even to play my favorite sport i.e table tennis.

I've been burdening with dozens of works and responsibilities. Trust me, my works are more than the finger hand to count.

I'm the group leader for 3 different subjects plus the class representative for counseling skills' class.Besides, I'm also the secretary for one of my group.

Hmm..being the asst. secretary welfare bureau for KAED Fest made me much busier. In addition to that, just got new responsibility in Journalism Club which to be fulfilled..

Assignments?Research?..Allah knows better.

I'm not saying this for boasting.Let us look back to ourselves.Take sometimes to 'muhasabah' what are the significant behind of all these things.

Our beloved Prophed once said,
Grab 5 things before coming 5 things........free time before you busy.

Human in nature were only realize and appreciate things when only it's gone/taken by Allah.We only taste the sweetness of it whenever it disappeared from our side.

It's so pity when only few people realized and take it as a lesson.(I'm not included.Still blur and keep on repeating the mistakes).

The most important is, how busy we are, never forget our 'core business' in this life.Hopefully,whenever our time to meet Allah has come,we are in well prepared and in the busyness of doing Da'wah and Tarbiyyah just for the sake of Allah.

Note1:Sometimes I like to burden myself with works.It teaches me to solve multipurpose works in one time and I learn to manage my time.


Note2:Let us renew our intention.Do things just for Allah's sake,then only it will be accounted.If not,those works you done make no different, like dust blown by the wind.Vanish into thin air..

May Allah bless my beloved Sir...

My beloved English teacher when I was in form 5 had passed away on 22 July 09. He was the symbol of humbleness for all of us.

Jazakallah sir for revealed your knowledge to me until I've managed to passed the English subject during SPM with flying colors.


Sitting next to Sir Ghazali..


I'm sorry sir if I've done any mistake and scratched your heart consciously or unconsciously.


Chatting with the humble sir..


May Allah grouped Sir Ghazali together with those Syuhada'... Ameenn...

I've got the answer...

I’m not in good mood today. I didn't know why. Maybe it’s a kind of ‘kaffarah’ from Allah due to my mountain of sins.

After Jumaat prayer, I sat alone at one corner inside the masjid and wondering around. I’ve been thinking of my future, my aim of this semester etc. I tried my best to renew my intention of being a student i.e. studies.

However, it’s not an easy thing for me to totally purify my intention. Sometimes I keep on bearing in my mind to study hard, just to ensure I'll get a proper job with good payment. It really pushed me up. My mind made a conclusion, study hard = bright future = good salary.

Honestly speaking, it really makes me sick! I’m in dilemma.

Allah is always with us. He will help us when we are in need......

Suddenly, my ears caught one ayat from the Holy Quran recited by one Arab guy in the Masjid. The ayat sounds familiar to me but I couldn’t manage to recall which chapter and what ayat it is. Straight away I messaged my best sahabat in Egypt, ‘Imran, seeking his help. Few minutes later, he replied.

“Surah At-Tolaq. Ayat no 2&3”

Allah says,

“…..and for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out,. And He Provides for Him from (sources) He never could imagine. and if any one puts His trust In Allah, sufficient is ((Allah)) for Him. for Allah will surely accomplish His purpose: Verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion.”

In Malay,

“Barang siapa yang bertaqwa kepada Allah nescaya Dia akan membukakan jalan keluar baginya. Dan dia memberinya rezeki dari arah yang tidak disangka-sangkanya. Dan barang siapa yang bertawakkal kepada Allah, nescaya Allah akan mencukupkan (keperluan)nya. Sesungguhnya Allah melaksanakan urusan-Nya. Sungguh Allah telah mengadakan ketentuan bagi setiap sesuatu.”

It really touched my heart. I really felt the presence of Allah that time. Alhamdulillah.

That night, I met my friend who just enrolled UniKL MIAT. He keeps on saying that those who graduated from MIAT will get the starting salary RM3000 up to RM4000 per month. Even he underestimated IIUM graduates. He was telling me his dreamed car and intended to by it after graduate with his “HIGH SALARY”.

For me, I didn’t bother with his statements because I’ve already got the answer....

Thank you Allah for reminding me..

Take 5 and think

Intelligence comes from knowledge,

Confidence comes from experience.

Wisdom comes from failure,

Taubat...

Never feel shy to cry when you realized you have done mistakes even sometimes we heard that men are no more 'masculine' when they cry.



Put a stand in yourself not to repeat your mistakes. Pray to Allah with humble, seeking His Forgiveness. May we will be a better Muslims.

Punctuality

First of all, sorry for letting this blog silent without posting new entry. Just finished my exam recently. Furthermore I was in deep sad lately and my psychology a bit affected. Looking for a new strength to communicate with others (via blog etc.)

Just to touch on 1 topic which I think it’s very crucial nowadays especially among Dai’e, i.e. PUNCTUALITY.



Punctuality is a golden feature, a quality we all most have in order to succeed in life.

Punctuality is the easiest way to prove that you are organized, respectful and caring for other people. Being able to organize your own time, and it is a key element for an efficient way of living. By not being punctual, you show people that you have no respect and consideration for their own agenda, and that is because the fact that once they have to wait for you, their whole schedule is compromised for the day.

Few days before, I’ve a short talk with my foreign friend. Out of nowhere, he asked me about the Malay Promise term (Janji Melayu). Just to get his first idea, rather than I answered his question, I asked him back, what he understood about “Janji Melayu”.

Expectable answer. Malays seldom stick to their promises especially in timing. Agreed to come at 9am but late almost 1 hour.

I’m not denying his statement but I told him that it’s only happened to those, so called Muslims, regardless his nation or race. The term Janji Melayu is not specific to Malays although it has been popularized by Malays themselves.

As a Dai’e, punctuality issue should totally settle. How come we called ourselves Dai’e but at the same time we are breaking our promises?

Our beloved Prophet S.A.W once said:

“The signs of hypocrisy are 3……. When he promised, he breaks it.”

Sometimes I felt disappointed with some of my friends. I rather sacrificed my breakfast if I realized that I’m already late to meet him. Unfortunately, he came late half an hour without felt guilty. I’m not saying I’m perfect enough in punctuality, but I’ve been trained since secondary school to be punctual.



I still remembered when I was in form 5. I was late to enter the class for only 15 minutes. I have reason for that and I taught my reason is accepted. I was the school prefect, thus every morning I have to ensure all students vacant the hostel and the school compound. As a result, I’ll be late for the first session of the morning class.

I gave that reason to my EST teacher, Sir Yahya but he said that, my reason is neither accepted nor good. Try to avoid in giving excuse.

“If you think you couldn’t finished your work by 7.40am (where the first morning session starts), then you have to think the other way to enter the class on time. You can start your job earlier. You should create a new situation of a successful person. If you promise at 7.40am, you should be there before it.”

Insya Allah sir. I’ll bear it in my mind.

Try your best to be on time. If you think you couldn’t make it, inform the other person of your late. Don’t make people waiting for you.
In other words, if you keep on breaking your promise, it will turn into habit and in return, it reflects yourself.

Hopefully, we who declared ourselves as Dai’e will make a turning point to change ourselves to be a better Muslims. The communities are looking at us with their own judgment.

A Muslim scholar said:
"The beauty of Islam nowadays is covered by the ‘Muslims’ themselves."

May we are not categorize in that circle of people.


Note1: Punctuality = before time
Note2: Start first with ourselves, and then only people will trust you
