A: Maaf, tumpang tanya. Lorong CINTA, jalan SAYANG, kampung RINDU, daerah KASIH SAYANG, pekan HATI, bandar I MISS U kat mane ye??

B: Cik jalan terus ikut jalan ILAHI, nampak simpang 3 masuk kanan, ikut jalan NIKAH, ada signboard I LOVE ALLAH, cik terus jea, dan sepanjang jalan tu akan nampak di sebelah kanan, kedai BATAS PERGAULAN, dan sebelah kiri pasar sibuk sket, iaitu pasar PERSIAPKAN DIRI. Haa, itu tandanya cik berada di jalan yg benar...

SEMOGA SELAMAT SAMPAI ♥

Let's change before it's too late . . .

Hello readers. Happy Sunday!!

Let's together read about this article full of lesson, full of reminders. I found this in facebook and feel d need to share with everyone straight away. Enjoy reading! :)

____________________________________________

Liberal Gurlz :
“Salam ustaz…..sorry for disturbing you…I just want to ask something from you…!!”

Ustaz :
“Ok silakan……what you want to know…”

Liberal Gurlz :
“Ustaz it is true……perempuan tak menutup aurat ni jahat….?

Ustaz :
“Hmmm kalau mengikut hukum tak menutup aurat tu….memang jahat la kerana tak patuh perintah Allah.!!

Liberal Gurlz :
“No no no ustaz you ‘re really wrong……pakaian tak melambangkan perangai dan tingkahlaku….kalau ustaz nak tahu….ramai perempuan yang pakai tudung labuh nampak aje sopan…tetapi sebenarnya mereka nilah yang berperangai jahat…mereka hanya berselindung di sebalik tudung mereka…. Tu hipokrit namanya ustaz…..”

Ustaz :
“Sekurang –kurang nya mereka menutup aurat….dosa tidak menutup aurat adalah termasuk di dalam dosa besar kerana perbuatan mendedahkan aurat itu akan membuka pintu kepada zina”

Liberal gurlz :
“Ha ha ha ha ……I don’t think like that ustaz………..sebenarnya..masalah zina…rogol..sumbang mahram…..dan sebagainya yang melibatkan kerosakan akhlak kaum wanita adalah berpunca dari lelaki yang jahat dan bernafsu buas…..bukan sebab kami berpakaian tidak bertudung dan berpurdah.!!!”
“Ustaz pun tahu kan….orang lelaki ni…alim macam mana pun tapi bila tengok orang pompuan…..tercabut serban mereka……ha ha ha ha…”

Ustaz :
“Hai….macam perli saya aje ni….?”

Liberal Gurlz :
“Ha ha ha ha….ustaz tak termasuk la…..saya percaya ustaz….. kalau tak saya takkan tanya soalan ni…….ha ha ha ha……!!”

Ustaz :
“Islam mengatakan….Fitnah yang membuka pintu zina itu adalah banyaknya berpunca dari wanita yang tidak menutup aurat dan menjaga kehormatan mereka”

Liberal Gurlz :
“Habis tu ustaz…salah orang perempuan lah ye kalau…..orang perempuan diperdaya..dirogol…diragut kesuciannya oleh seorang lelaki playboy….?”

Ustaz :
"Bukan itu maksud saya…….apa yang saya nak katakana ialah…orang perempuan sekiranya tidak mendedahkan diri dengan penyebab yang menyebabkan lelaki cenderung untuk melakukan perbuatan yang jahat…maka selamatlah dirinya..dari sebarang ancaman dan gangguan seksual.”….

“Perbuatan membuka aurat itu bukankah menarik ghairah lelaki untuk melakukan sesuatu yang tak senonoh kepada seorang perempuan?”Hilangnya sifat malu seorang perempuan menyebabkan dirinya bercampur gaul dengan lelaki yang bukan mahram….menyebab terjadinya perbuatan berjumpa…berdating…berdua-duaan …..sehingga pihak yang ketiganya adalah syaitan…lalu syaitan pun membisikkan bisikan syahwat menyebabkan berlakunya perbuatan zina antara dua pasangan sejoli…!!”

Liberal Gurlz :
“Alah ustaz …itu sebab orang lelaki lah yang mulakan dulu……orang perempuan ni insan yang lemah terpaksa mengikut kehendak lelaki”

Ustaz :
“Hmmmm…itulah yang tak betul tu…..seorang wanita yang baik….mestilah tegas menjaga maruah dan kehormatan dirinya…..Allah menjadikan wanita ini dari tulang rusuk Nabi Allah Adam a.s untuk hidup mulia sebagai seorang isteri yang mempunyai tugas yang mulia iaitu sebagai peneman suami dan sebagai insan yang berkongsi suka duka bersama suami..setia berkhidmat untuk suami dengan perasaan kasih sayang yang dibina atas dasar cinta…melalui perkahwinan yang sah”

“Bukanlah kasih sayang namanya jika seorang wanita membiarkan dirinya menjadi tempat memuaskan nafsu..lelaki yang jahat….bukan cinta namanya…apabila seorang wanita membiarkan maruahnya dimusnahkan……bukanlah bahagia namanya apabila seorang wanita bersama dengn lelaki tanpa ikatan yang sah.”

Liberal Gurlz :
“Ok…ok….ustaz menang……Cuma saya nak ulangi balik ustaz pendapat saya tadi……perempuan yang bertudung pun bukannya baik sangat….ada diantara mereka ni ustaz yang lebih teruk akhlaknya daripada kami yang tidak bertudung ni….?”

Ustaz :
“Ha ha ha….janganlah disalahkan tudung jika akhlak seseorang itu buruk…..!!!....menutup aurat itu perintah Allah…sama ada manusia itu baik atau jahat…kan itu perintah Allah…kita tak boleh pertikaikan……!!”
“Jika akhlak seseorang itu jahat…..maka dia akan dikira dosanya mengikut akhlaknya yang jahat….tetapi jika dia tidak memakai tudung menutup aurat…..maka dosanya akan bertambah lagi…janganlah kita melakukan satu dosa…kemudian kita tambah lagi dosa…akibatnya derita kita di akhirat..lama kita diazab di dalam neraka…..!!”

Liberal Gurlz :
“Baiklah ustaz…mungkin tak faham maksud saya…….beginilah saya buat contoh supaya ustaz mudah faham……ada seorang wanita yang tidak menutup aurat…tetapi dia baik..rajin..pemurah ..penyayang…hormat ibubapa…..suka menolong orang…dan ada pula seorang perempuan yang bertudung…tapi jahat…suka mencaci mengata orang…..sombong…pentingkan diri sendiri…kedekut…suka cari gaduh….yang mana lebih baik ustaz……?”

Ustaz :
“Saya faham maksud awak…..oklah….tentang perempuan tidak bertudung walaupun dia..baik…buat amalan baik….pemurah…menolong orang…sememangnya dia akan mendapat pahala dengan amalan baik yang dilakukan….tetapi ingat…Nabi saw pernah menerangkan di dalam satu riwayat….bahawa diakhirat nanti apabila kita dihadapkan di hadapan Allah swt…kita akan ditanya..tentang dosa dan pahala….jika ada dosa yang kita lakukan…maka pahala kita akan dipotong….jika kita banyak melakukan amalan baik sekalipun…tetapi jika tidak menutup aurat….pahala kita akan dipotong mengikut lama mana kita mendedahkan aurat ketika di dunia ini semasa kita hidup….sehingga tiada lagi pahala yang nak dipotong..kita tanggung pula dosa orang yang rosak matanya..akhlaknya…disebabkan oleh kita yang membuka aurat….sehingga kita menjadi manusia yang paling muflis di akhirat lalu dicampakkan kita ke dalam neraka.”

“Adapun perempuan yang bertudung…dia terlepas dari dosa mendedahkan aurat…. Dan jika dia melakukan dosa yang lain…yakni seperti mencaci..mengata…sombong..dan sebagainya…maka itu dosa lain yang dia kena memohon dari Allah keampunan …agar tidak di azab diakhirat….sekiranya tidak dia akan diazab mengikut dosa yang dilakukan…..cumanya tempoh diazab itu tidaklah selama tempoh azab dosa orang yang mendedahkan aurat..kerana tempoh tinggal di neraka disebabkan oleh dosa buka aurat ni… lama sangat.”

Liberal Gurlz :
“Oh ye ke ustaz…..maaflah ustaz… saya tak pandai agama……saya cuma dengar orang bercerita…dan ada kawan-kawan saya yang menggelarkan diri mereka “ the liberal gurlz”……yang menyatakan…kalau tak boleh buang sifat-sifat……jahat dalam diri…tak guna pakai tudung labuh……munafik namanya tu……tunggulah sehingga kita benar-benar dah bersedia dan menjadi benar-benar baik….barulah kita pakai tudung tutup aurat…..”

Ustaz :
“Ha ha ha ha ha bila la agaknya tu ….baru awak jadi benar-benar baik…..bila dah masuk kubur….?”
“Satu perkara yang mesti kita ingat…dan perbetulkan persepsi kita…..berubah jadi baik dan bertaubat adalah perkara yang tak boleh ditangguh-tangguh…….berubah dan bertaubat mesti dilakukan serta merta …kerana jika kita tangguh dan tunggu dulu…..maka dikhuatiri kita tidak sempat..bertaubat dan berubah…kerana ajal maut itu tidak kita tahu bila tibanya….apakah kita boleh menjamin umur kita panjang?apakah kita boleh hidup sehingga ke detik masa kita bertaubat dan berubah……”please don’t make your life as a gambling game”jangan perjudikan hidup awak dengan hanya bersandarkan harapan yang tak pasti…..” Jika kita menyatakan kita kena tunggu sehingga dah benar-benar baik dan bersedia baru kita pakai tudung menutup aurat……maka adakah umur kita sepanjang itu untuk sampai ke detik itu????? Jika kita dimatikan Allah bagaimana?”

“Samalah macam awak tidak mahu kahwin hanya kerana awak nak tunggu calon suami yang benar-benar perfect..hensem….macho…hmmm sampai ke tua la tak kahwin jawabnya”

Liberal Gurlz :
“Hu huh u ustaz…gerun saya dengar penerangan ustaz ni…..barulah saya faham……..saya ingat apa yang dikatakn oleh kawan-kawan saya tu betul…rupa-rupanya sesat larat kita dibuatnya……!! Terima kasih ustaz…barulah saya faham….dan insyaallah saya akan berubah ….cumanya mungkin ambil masa juga ustaz….maklumlah bukan senang kita nak mulakan perubahan dan benda baru ni…..kawan-kawan saya “The liberal gurlz” pasti terkejut dan mentertawakan saya bila saya berubah memakai tudung…..aduihhhh susahnya ustaz…kalau diorang kutuk saya…mau menangis saya nanti…..”

Ustaz :
“Biarlah kita menangis di dunia ini kerana mentaati perintah Allah dari kita menangis di akhirat kerana di azab akibat mengingkari perintah Allah”

Liberal Gurlz :
“Isk…Isk…..Isk…ye lah ustaz…terima kasih….terima kasih…….saya rasa insaf sangat…..terima kasih ustaz…..semoga Allah mengampunkan dosa saya…..”

Ustaz :
“Insyaallah semoga Allah berikan awak kekuatan dan berubah dari yang baik kepada yang lebih baik……..saya akan doakan…..!!”

10 Ciri Mukmin Sejati : What's your score?

Hello bloggers, readers. It's been a while, I know. Huhuhu. 

Been so lazy to blog lately, dunno why.

While being "away" from blogging world, I was thinking, more to reflecting actually -- what's my main reason to blog, really?? Saw a few bloggers who made changes in terms of what they share in their blog, they now shared Islamic facts, reminders, tazkeerah and beautiful quotes which really touch my heart. Inspired by them, I plan to do the same with my blog. I want to reduce personal thoughts, ramblings and sharings here. Instead, I want to write and share more about Islam. 

For a start, I want to share an image I found when google-ing last time.
Here it is ::

It's 10 features which an ideal Muslim should have ::

a. Akidah yg sejahtera

b. Ibadah yg sahih

c. Akhlak yg mantap

d. Luas pengetahuan

e. Sihat tubuh badan

f. Mampu berdikari

g. Melawan nafsu

h. Sangat menjaga masa

i. Tersusun urusannya

j. Bermanfaat kepada orang lain

So can you pin point which one have you fulfilled? Or perhaps all of them? Kudos to you, if you do, you have my absolute respect. Me? I'm a weak and imperfect 'Hamba Allah', sangat kerdil dan lemah. Nevertheless, I wish to have all these 10 noble features someday and I will thrive to reach it. InsyaAllah~

♥ Jom kita muhasabah diri kawan² ♥

Salam Maulidur Rasul 1433H : Hadis Rasulullah S.A.W ttg Akhir Zaman

First of all, salam Maulidur Rasul to all. 

Mari kita berselawat bersama² ya~ :)

Let's pay tribute to the greatest man who ever lived, Prophet Muhammad S.A.W by reading about some of his hadith concerning the "akhir zaman".

Antara Hadis Rasulullah S.A.W Tentang Akhir Zaman Ialah :

source : I Love Islam Web Blog

Penaklukan Baitulmuqaddis.

Dari Auf b. Malik r.a. Rasulullah s.a.w. telah bersabda: "Aku menghitung enam perkara menjelang hari kiamat." Baginda menyebutkan salah satu di antaranya, iaitu penaklukan Baitulmuqaddis." * Sahih Bukhari*

Zina bermaharajalela.

"Dan tinggallah manusia-manusia yang buruk, yang seenaknya melakukan persetubuhan seperti himar (keldai). Maka pada zaman mereka inilah kiamat akan datang." * Sahih Muslim*

Banyak wanita yang berpakaian tetapi hakikatnya telanjang.

"Di antara tanda-tanda telah dekatnya hari kiamat ialah akan muncul pakaian-pakaian wanita dan apabila mereka memakainya keadaannya seperti telanjang." * Abu Hurairah r.a*

Bermaharajalela alat muzik.

"Pada akhir zaman akan terjadi tanah runtuh, rusuhan dan perubahan muka. Ada yang bertanya kepada Rasulullah; "Wahai Rasulullah bila hal ini terjadi?" Baginda menjawab; "Apabila telah bermaharajalela bunyi-bunyian (muzik) dan penyanyi-penyanyi wanita" * Ibnu Majah*

Menghias masjid dan membanggakannya.

"Di antara tanda-tanda telah dekatnya kiamat ialah manusia bermegah-megahan dalam mendirikan masjid" * Riwayat Nasai.*

Munculnya kekejian, memutuskan kerabat dan hubungan dengan tetangga tidak baik.

"Tidak akan datang kiamat sehingga banyak perbuatan dan perkataan keji, memutuskan hubungan silaturahim dan sikap yang buruk dalam tetangga." * Riwayat Ahmad dan Hakim*

Ramai orang soleh meninggal dunia.

"Tidak akan datang hari kiamat sehingga Allah mengambil orang-orang yang baik dan ahli agama di muka bumi, maka tiada yang tinggal padanya kecuali orang-orang yang hina dan buruk yang tidak mengetahui yang makruf dan tidak mengingkari kemungkaran." * Riwayat Ahmad*

Orang hina mendapat kedudukan terhormat.

"Di antara tanda-tanda semakin dekatnya kiamat ialah dunia akan dikuasai oleh Luka' bin Luka' (orang yang bodoh dan hina). Maka orang yang paling baik ketika itu ialah orang yang beriman yang diapit oleh dua orang mulia" * Riwayat Thabrani*

Mengucapkan salam kepada orang yang dikenalnya sahaja.

"Sesungguhnya di antara tanda-tanda telah dekatnya hari kiamat ialah manusia tidak mahu mengucapkan salam kepada orang lain kecuali yang dikenalnya saja." * Riwayat Ahmad*

Bulan sabit kelihatan besar.

"Di antara tanda-tanda telah dekatnya hari kiamat ialah menggelembung (membesarnya) bulan sabit." * Riwayat Thabrani*

Banyak dusta dan tidak tepat dalam menyampaikan berita.

"Pada akhir zaman akan muncul pembohong- pembohong besar yang datang kepadamu dengan membawa berita-berita yang belum pernah kamu dengar dan belum pernah didengar oleh bapa-bapa kamu sebelumnya, kerana itu jauhkanlah dirimu dari mereka agar mereka tidak menyesatkanmu dan memfitnahmu" * Sahih Muslim*

Banyak saksi palsu dan menyimpan kesaksian yang benar.

"Sesungguhnya sebelum datangnya hari kiamat akan banyak kesaksian palsu dan disembunyikan kesaksian yang benar" * Riwayat Ahmad*

Negara Arab menjadi padang rumput dan sungai.

"Tidak akan datang hari kiamat sehingga negeri Arab kembali menjadi padang rumput dan sungai* Sahih Muslim*

 

The truth is, all the signs as told by Nabi Muhammad S.A.W above are already happening. The latest was the snow that fell at Dubai (BH, 31 Dis 2004). With that being said, let's reflect on ourselves, our deeds in this temporary world, our preparation for the eternal world, the hereafter. Allah has remind us in so many ways, it's all up to us!
Renung²kn~ ^_^

The Greatest Love Story of All Time

Hi readers! Gong Xi Fa Chai to all! 

It's the beginning of the dragon year today, the best year of all in the lunar calendar. Have a prosperous and joyous chinese new year folks! :D

~ el oh vie ee ~

Speaking of new year, what's your resolution? Pursuing love, maybe? Hehehe. Love is indeed a wonderful thing and the greatest creation of the Almighty. It is a magical feeling that could make or break people. It can lead to either a happy or miserable life. So, just as a quick reminder for us, and for me also, I want to share a love story which I regard as the perfect story that embodies all the essence of what love should be about :: 

Kisah cinta Nabi Allah Yusuf AS dan Zulaikha 
~ a love story at its absolute finest!

Mungkin ramai di antara kita yang mengetahui kisah kekacakan Nabi Yusuf (AS) sehinggakan Zulaikha, ibu angkatnya sendiri jatuh cinta padanya.

Nabi Yusuf (AS) disumbatkan ke dalam penjara setelah Al Aziz, pembesar Mesir pada masa itu yang juga merupakan suami Zulaikha tidak tahu apa yang patut dilakukannya setelah peristiwa Zulaikha cuba menggoda Nabi Yusuf (AS) dan menarik baju yang dipakainya hingga terkoyak di belakang. Namun dengan izin Allah, seorang bayi yang kebetulan ada di situ berkata-kata dan membersihkan nama Nabi Yusuf (AS) yang suci. Selepas peristiwa itu, Zulaikha menjadi gila kerana tidak dapat menahan rasa cintanya pada Nabi Yusuf (AS) hingga Al Aziz terpaksa melepaskannya.

Setelah 12 tahun berlalu, Nabi Yusuf (AS) dibebaskan dari penjara dan akhirnya beliau diangkat menjadi raja. Hinggalah pada suatu hari, sewaktu Nabi Yusuf (AS) berjalan-jalan di pasar, beliau terjumpa seorang perempuan tua yang gila dan asyik menyebut-nyebut namanya. Rupa-rupanya, perempuan itu ialah Zulaikha. Dengan izin Allah, Zulaikha menjadi muda kembali hasil mukjizat Nabi Yusuf (AS), dan mereka berkahwin.

"Pada hari ini Aku telah sempurnakan bagi kamu agama kamu dan telah Aku cukupkan untuk kamu nikmatKu serta telah Aku redha Islam sebagai agama kamu."
(surah Al-Maida: 3)

Setelah peristiwa itu, Zulaikha menemui cinta yang lebih abadi, Zulaikha kini benar-benar bersyukur kerana Allah SWT yang Maha Pengasih dan Penyayang telah memberikan peluang kedua padanya. Cinta Zulaikha kepada Nabi Yusuf (AS) telah luput, digantikan dengan cinta makhluk terhadap Pencipta-Nya. Masanya dihabiskan dengan bermunajat kepada Allah hingga beliau tidak mempedulikan Nabi Yusuf (AS) sendiri yang suatu waktu dulu digilainya.

Mengikut ceritanya, Nabi Yusuf (AS) telah menarik baju Zulaikha yang asyik beribadat. Peristiwa ini bolehlah diumpamakan sebagai qisas kerana dahulu Zulaikha telah menarik baju Nabi Yusuf (AS). Yusuf kemudian memberitahu Zulaikha bahawa dari mereka akan lahir nabi-nabi yang akan membawa kebenaran.

Melihat pada peristiwa ini, nyatalah cinta sesama makhluk tidak akan kekal, apatah lagi kalau cinta itu dilandaskan kepada nafsu semata-mata. Cinta Shah Jehan kepada Mumtaz Mahal terabdi bersama berdiri megahnya Taj Mahal, namun sedarkah kita bahawa pembinaan Taj Mahal telah menyebabkan tangan pengukir-pengukir yang handal dipotong semata-mata kerana Shah Jehan tidak mahu ada bangunan lain di dunia ini yang dapat menandingi kecantikan Taj Mahal!!

Kita haruslah sedar bahawa cinta sesama makhluk hanyalah sementara, oleh itu adalah lebih baik sekiranya kita tak terbawa-bawa oleh arus cinta, bermain dengan ombak perasaan dan akhirnya karam sendiri bila cinta yang diharap-harapkan tidak kesampaian . . .
Renung-renungkan ~~~

A Little Prayer for My Pillars of Strength :)

Teristimewa buat ~

❤ my beloved Pa : En. Abd Halim Abdullah & my dearest Ma : Pn Maimunah Kasiamu ❤

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Ya Allah,
Rendahkanlah suaraku bagi mereka
Perindahlah ucapanku di depan mereka
Lunakkanlah watakku terhadap mereka dan
Lembutkan hatiku untuk mereka

Ya Allah,
Berilah mereka balasan yang sebaik-baiknya, atas
didikan mereka padaku dan Pahala yang besar atas
kesayangan yang mereka limpahkan padaku,peliharalah
mereka sebagaimana mereka memeliharaku.

Ya Allah,
Apa saja gangguan yang telah mereka rasakan
atau kesusahan yang mereka deritakan kerana aku
atau hilangnya sesuatu hak mereka kerana perbuatanku
jadikanlah itu semua penyebab susutnya
dosa-dosa mereka dan bertambahnya pahala kebaikan
mereka dengan perkenan-Mu ya Allah
hanya Engkaulah yang berhak membalas kejahatan dengan
kebaikan berlipat ganda.

Ya Allah,
Bila magfirah-Mu telah mencapai mereka sebelumku,
Izinkanlah mereka memberi syafa'at untukku.
Tetapi jika sebaliknya, maka izinkanlah aku memberi
syafa'at untuk mereka,sehingga kami semua berkumpul
bersama dengan santunan-Mu di tempat kediaman
yang dinaungi kemuliaan-Mu, ampunan-Mu serta rahmat-Mu . . .

Amin Ya Rabb ~

Husbands, Wives, READ!

 Salam. Happy Diwali everyone!
Last night, I've found these wonderful and useful tips in Facebook and instantly, it appeals to my interest right away. So, in case you guys haven't read, this is just another sincere sharing from me especially for wedded couples out there. (These actually serves as a self-reminder for me and Mr.Bee too~ hehe)

EVERY HUSBAND SHOULD READ THIS:

"Love her …when she sips on your coffee or tea. She only wants to make sure it tastes just right for you.
Love her…when she "pushes" you to pray. She wants to be with you in Jannah (Paradise).
Love her…when she asks you to play with the kids. She did not "make" them on her own.

Love her...when she is jealous. Out of all the men she can have, she chose YOU.
Love her…when she has annoying little habits that drives you nuts. You have them too.
Love her…when her cooking is bad. She tries.
Love her…when she looks disheveled in the morning. She always grooms herself up again.
Love her…when she asks to help with the kids homework. She only wants you to be part of the home.
Love her...when she asks if she looks fat. Your opinion counts, so tell her she's beautiful.
Love her…when she looks beautiful. She's yours so appreciate her.
Love her...when she spends hours to get ready. She only wants to look her best for you.
Love her…when she buys you gifts you don't like. Smile and tell her it's what you've always wanted.
Love her…when she has developed a bad habit. You have many more and with wisdom and politeness you have all the time to help her change. 

Love her…when she cries for absolutely nothing. Don't ask, tell her its going to be okay.
Love her…when she suffers from PMS. Buy chocolate, rub her feet and back and just chat to her (trust me this works!)
Love her…when whatever you do is not pleasing. It happens and will pass.
Love her…when she stains your clothes. You needed a new garment anyway.
Love her…when she tells you how to drive. She only wants you to be safe.
Love her…when she argues. She only wants to make things right for both.
Love her…she is yours. You don't need any other special reason!!!!

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) advised concerning the woman ::
• Treat the women well.
• The best of you are those who are the best in the treatment of their wives.

EVERY WIFE SHOULD READ THIS:

"Love him …when he "forgets" that special occasion. For him every moment with you is special so he does not need an occasion.
Love him…when he comes late from the Mosque. He wants to make sure he is early with you in Jannah (Paradise).
Love him…when he admonishes you to don the hijab. He wants to be sure you enshrouded by Allah's Mercy when you leave the home.
Love him...when he is jealous. Out of all the women he could have, he chose you to be his wife!
Love him...when he is working till late. At least he comes home and you still get to sleep and wake up in his loving and caring arms.
Love him…when he has annoying little habits that drives you nuts. You have them too (and maybe more).
Love him…when he does not praise your cooking. He told you as newlyweds that yours was indeed always the best.
Love him…when he looks disheveled. He was more busy caring for the family than grooming himself. By the way he is cute!
Love him…when he does not help in the home. He is out earning a halal (pure) income for the family.
Love him...when he does not reply to your questions. He does not want to hurt your feelings or is absorbed in thinking about your welfare.
Love him…when he looks sleek and handsome. He's yours to appreciate!
Love him…when he goes out in the Path of Allah. He is preparing a blissful eternal home for you in Jannah.
Love him...when he does not comment when you get angry. He is a good listener.
Love him…when he buys you gifts you don't like. Smile and tell him it's what you've always wanted. He took the time and money out just for you!
Love him…when he has developed a bad habit. You have many more and with wisdom and politeness you have all the time to help him change.
Love him…when he is irritable and moody. Buy chocolates, massage his head and feet and just chat to him. He will become your slave!
Love him…when whatever you do is not pleasing. It's like a storm; it happens and will soon pass by.
Love him…when he drives so fast. He only wants you to be there in time.
Love him…when he extends his period of rest. He is re-charging himself to serve you the best.
Love him…when he forgets to say "I love you". He actually shows his love in many other ways.
Love him…when he forgets to buy the bread or milk. He was rushing home to be with you.
Love him…when he does not give you a chance to talk. He just knows what is in your heart and what it is you want to say.
Love him…when he "demands" respect. After all he is the head of the house. 

Love him…when he shouts at the kids. He only wants to ensure they are corrected and have a good moral upbringing. 

Love him…he is yours. You don't need any other special reason!!!!
 
Almighty Allah Ta'ala says ::
" And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquillity with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts)…" (Qur'an 30:21)

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) is reported to have said:

'Any woman who dies, and her husband is pleased with her, will enter Paradise.'"(Hadith-Ibn Majah)

"If a woman prays her five daily prayers, fasts her month (of Ramadan), obeys her husband and guards her chastity, then it will be said to her: 'Enter Paradise by whichever of its gates you wish."(Hadith-Ahmad and al-Tabarani)

"Pay attention to how you treat him(husband), for he is your Paradise and your Hell."(Hadith-13 Ahmad and al-Nisa'i)

"No human being is permitted to prostrate to another, but if this were permitted I would have ordered wives to prostrate to their husbands, because of the greatness of the rights they have over them."(Hadith: Ahmad and al-Bazzar)

So fellas, don't wait for that special occasion, take time NOW to make your wife/ husband feel special in every way! Just give her/ him a HUGE WARM HUG and if she/ he asks why, then say ~

"It's just because you are so SPECIAL!" 

❤To my dearest darling BEE, I Loved You then, I Love You now & I'll Love You forever!!❤

Are we an ideal muslim wife? :)

The Ideal Muslim Woman and Her Husband

(An Excerpt from the Book “The Ideal Muslimah: The True Islâmic Personality of the Muslim Woman as Defined in the Qur’ân and Sunnah”)  

By  Dr. Muhammad ‘Ali Al-Hashimi

Translated by Nasiruddin Al-Khattab and Revised by Ibrahim M. Kunna and Abu  Aya Sulaiman Abdus-Sabur Copyright and published by the International Islâmic Publishing House (IIPH), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1999.

Marriage in Islam

In Islam, marriage is a blessed contract between a man and a woman, in which each becomes “permitted” to the other, and they begin the long journey of life in a spirit of love, co-operation, harmony and tolerance, where each feels at ease with the other, and finds tranquility, contentment and comfort in the company of the other. The Qur’an has described this relationship between men and women, which brings love, harmony, trust and compassion, in the most moving and eloquent terms:

(And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your [hearts] . . .) (Qur’an 30:21)  

This is the strongest of bonds, in which Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) unites the two Muslim partners, who come together on the basis of love, understanding, co-operation and mutual advice, and establish a Muslim family in which children will live and grow up, and they will develop the good character and behavior taught by Islam. The Muslim family is the strongest component of a Muslim society when its members are productive and constructive, helping and encouraging one another to be good and righteous, and competing with one another in good works. The righteous woman is the pillar, cornerstone and foundation of the Muslim family. She is seen as the greatest joy in a man’s life, as the Prophet (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:

“This world is just temporary conveniences, and the best comfort in this world is a righteous women.”¹ 

A righteous woman is the greatest blessing that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) can give to a man, for with her he can find comfort and rest after the exhausting struggle of earning a living. With his wife, he can find incomparable tranquility and pleasure.

How can a woman be the best comfort in this world? How can she be a successful woman, true to her own femininity, and honored and loved?

1. She chooses a good husband 
2. She is obedient to her husband and shows him respect 
3. She treats his mother and family with kindness and respect 
4. She endears herself to her husband and is keen to please him
5. She does not disclose his secrets
She stands by him and offers her advice
6. She encourages her husband to spend for the sake of Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala
7. She helps him to obey Allah (Subhanahu wa ta’ala) 
8. She fills his heart with joy
9. She makes herself beautiful for him 
10. She is cheerful and grateful when she meets him 
11. She shares his joys and sorrows 
12. She does not look at other men 
13. She does not describe other women to him 
14. She tries to create an atmosphere of peace and tranquility for him 
15. She is tolerant and forgiving 
16. She is strong in character and wise 
17. She is one of the most successful wives, if not the most successful wife she is the greatest blessing and good fortune that a man may enjoy

The Virtues of The Last 10 Nights

Hello peeps! In a blink of an eye, we've now come to the 10 final nights of Ramadhan. Alhamdulillah :)

Thus in honour of that, here's another sharing from me: it is an article I found from the internet. How to take full advantage and benefit from the last part of Ramadan ?

Though all parts of Ramadan are full of blessings and rewards, its last ten days hold a special status reflected in the recommendations and practices of the Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, and his companions. Here are the three major practices of the Prophet Muhammad, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, and his companions during these days.

1-Praying in the last ten nights of Ramadan

Al-Bukhari and Muslim record from 'Aishah that during the last ten days of Ramadan, the Messenger of Allah would wake his wives up during the night and then remain apart from them (that is, being busy in acts of worship). A narration in Muslim states: "He would strive [to do acts of worship] during the last ten days of Ramadan more than he would at any other time."

Aisha reported that With the start of the last ten days of Ramadan, the Prophet used to tighten his waist belt (i.e. work hard) and used to pray all the night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers. [Bukhari]

2-Performing I`tikaf in the Masjid (seclusion in the Mosque)

Before going to the essential of this last section, let us stop by one of the great Imam of ahl Assunnah wal jama`ah, one of the greatest revivers of the Da`wah and the methodology of the Salaf, Shaikhul-Islam Shamsuddeen Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah who will give us a brain storming admonition.

He says (rahimahu Allah) in Zaad al Ma`aad fi hadyi khairi al `ibaab :

"Since the hearts' rectitude and firmness upon the path towards Allah the Most High, rests upon directing it solely upon Allaah and causing it to turn and give all its attention to Allaah the Most High. Since the disorder of the heart cannot be rectified except by turning to Allaah the Most High, and its disorder will be increased by eating and drinking too much, mixing with the people excessively, speaking profusely and sleeping too much. These will cause it to wander into every valley, and cut it off from its path to Allah, weaken it, divert it or put a halt to it.

>From the Mercy of the Mighty and Most Merciful is that He has prescribed for them fasting , which will cut off the excesses of eating and drinking, and empties the hear of its desires which divert it on its journey to Allah the Most High. He prescribed it in due proportion as will be appropriate and will benefit the servant, with regard to this world and the Hereafter, and does not harm him, nor damage what is beneficial for him.

He also prescribed i`tikaf for them, by which is intended that the heart is fully occupied with Allah, the Most High, concentrated upon Him alone, and cut off from preoccupation with the creation. Rather it is engrossed with Him alone, the One free of all defects, such that remembering Him, loving Him and turning to Him takes the place of all anxieties of the heart and its suggestions, such that he is able to overcome them. Thus all his concerns are for Him. His thoughts are all of remembrance of Him, and thinking of how to attain His Pleasure and what will cause nearness to Him. This leads him to feel contented with Allah instead of the people, so that prepares him for being at peace with Him alone on the day of loneliness in the grave, when there is no one else to give comfort, nor anyone to grant solace except Him. So this is the greater goal of I'tikaf"

The book Zaad al Ma`aad as well as all other books of Ibn al-Qayyim are just peaces of art that every Muslim should read. Al-hamdu liLLAH there is a great effort among the followers and revivers of the methodology of the Salaf in translating these books into English. Some of them or part of them are already available. You may want to contact the bookstore of al-Qur'an was-Sunnah Society of North America [USA] or al-Hidaya Publishing in UK.

I`tikaf is the seclusion and staying in the mosque with the intention of becoming closer to Allah. This was the practise of the Prophet, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, during the last ten days of Ramadan especially. He would do it during other months as well.

'Aisha reported that the Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, used to practice I`tikaf in the last ten nights of Ramadan and used to say, "Look for the Night of Qadr in the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan" [Bukhari]

Abu Hurairah, radiyallahu 'anhu said: "Allah's Messenger, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, used to perform i`tikaf for ten days every Ramadan, then when it was the year in which he was taken (died), he performed I`tikaf for twenty days. [Bukhari]

'Aisha reported that the Prophet,salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, used to practice I`tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan till he died and then his wives used to practice I`tikaf after him. [Bukhari]

`Aishah radhiya Allahu `anha also reported that the Prophet, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, "Used to perform i'tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan until Allah the Mighty and Majestic, took him. [Bukhari and Muslim]

Al-Bukhari records from Abu Said that the Prophet (S) said: "Whoever makes I`tikaf with me is to make I'tikaf during the last ten [nights]."

This Sunnah of the Prophet, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, has been abandoned by many Muslims and it is worth reviving it in this era.

Sayyid Sabiq says in Fiqhus-Sunnah :

The sunnah or preferred i`tikaf has no specific time limit. It can be fulfilled by staying in the mosque with the intention of making i`tikaf for a long or short time. The reward will be according to how long one stays in the mosque. If one leaves the mosque and then returns, he should renew his intention to perform itikaf.

Ya'la ibn Umayyah said: "I secluded myself in the mosque for some time for I`tikaf." 'Ata told him: "That is I`tikaf, as long as you secluded yourself there."

One who is performing Sunnah (like in Ramadan) i'tikaf (i.e. not the obligatory one that is made after a vow) may end his i`tikaf at any time, even if it is before the period he intended to stay.

'Aishah related that if the Prophet intended to make itikaf, he would pray the morning prayer and begin it. One time he wanted to make i`tikaf during the last ten nights of Ramadan, and he ordered his tent to be set up. Aishah reported: "When I saw that, I ordered my tent to be set up, and some of the Prophet's wives followed suit. When he [the Prophet] prayed the morning prayer, he saw all of the tents, and said: "What is this?" They said: "We are seeking obedience [to Allah and His Messenger]." Then he ordered his tent and those of his wives to be taken down, and he delayed his i`tikaf to the first ten days [of Shawwal]."[Bukhari]

The fact that the Messenger of Allah ordered [his and] his wives' tents to be struck down and [he himself left and] asked them to leave the i`tikaf after they have made the intention for it shows that they discarded the i`tikaf after they had begun it. ([] in this small paragraph are some additional comments to clarify things).

It is preferred for the one who is making I`tikaf to perform many supererogatory acts of worship and to occupy himself with prayers, reciting the Qur'an, glorifying and praising Allah, extolling His oneness and His greatness, asking His forgiveness, sending salutations on the Prophet, upon whom be peace, and supplicating Allah - that is, all actions that bring one closer to Allah. Included among these actions is studying and reading books of tafsir and hadith, books on the lives of the Prophets, upon whom be peace, books of fiqh, and so on. It is also preferred to set up a small tent in the courtyard of the mosque as the Prophet did.

Permissible Acts for the Mu`takif (the person performing I`tikaf)

The following acts are permissible for one who is making I'tikaf

(1) The Person may leave his place of I`tikaf to bid farewell to his wife and a Woman can visit her husband who is in I`tikaf}

Safiyyah, radhiya Allahu `anha said : The prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, was making i`tikaf [in the last ten nights of Ramadan], so I came to visit him at night [and his wives were with him and then departed]. I talked with him for a while, then I stood up to leave, [so he said:"Do not hurry for I will accompany you",. He stood along with me to accompany me back -and her dwelling was in the house of Usaamah Ibn Zayd [until when he came to the door of the mosque near the door of Umm Salamah], two men of the Ansaar were passing by, when they saw the Prophet, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, they hastened by, so the Prophet, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said : "Be at your ease for she is Safiyyah bintu Huyayy." So they said:" 'SubhanAllah, O Messenger of Allah! [we did not have any doubt about you].' He said: "Indeed Shaytan circulates in the son of Adam just as blood circulates, and I feared that he would insert an evil thought" -or he said : "something - into your hearts" [Bukhari and Muslim, in [] are additional narrations from Abu Dawud]

(2) Combing and cutting one's hair, clipping one's nails, cleaning one's body, wearing nice clothes or wearing perfume are all permissible. 'Aishah reported: "The Prophet was Performing itikaf and he would put his head out through the opening to my room and I would clean [or comb in one narration] his hair. I was menstruating at the time." [al-Bukhari, Muslim, and Abu Dawud].

(3) The person may go out for some need that he must perform. 'Aishah reported: "When the Prophet Performed I`tikaf, he brought his head close to me so I could comb his hair, and he would not enter the house except to fulfill the needs a person has." [al-Bukhari, and Muslim].

Ibn al-Mundhir says: "The scholars agree that the one who performs itikaf may leave the mosque in order to answer the call of nature, for this is something that he personally must perform, and he cannot do it in the mosque. Also, if he needs to eat or drink and there is no one to bring him his food, he may leave to get it. If one needs to vomit, he may leave the mosque to do so. For anything that he must do but cannot do in the mosque, he can leave it, and such acts will not void his itikaf, even if they take a long time. Examples of these types of acts would include washing one's self from sexual defilement and cleaning his body or clothes from impurities."

(4) The person may eat, drink, and sleep in the mosque, and he should also keep it clean.

Actions that Nullify the I`tikaf

If a person performs one of the following acts, his I`tikaf will be nullified:

(1) Intentionally leaving the mosque without any need to do so, even if it is for just a short time. In such a case, one would not be staying in the mosque, which is one of the principles of I`tikaf.

(2) Abandoning belief in Islam, as this would nullify all acts of worship. If you ascribe a partner to Allah, your work will fail and you will be among the losers.

(3) Losing one's reason due to insanity or drunkenness, or the onset of menstruation or post-childbirth bleeding, all of which disqualifies a person for itikaf.

(4) Sexual intercourse. Allah says [in meaning]: "But do not associate with your wives while you are in seclusion (I`tikaf) in the mosques. Those are Limits (set by) Allah. Approach not nigh thereto. Thus does Allah make clear His Signs to men: that they may learn self-restraint. [al-Baqara; 2:187]

I`tikaf is not restricted to men only, women also can do it :

'Aisha (the wife of the Prophet) reported that the Prophet, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, used to practice I`tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan till he died and then his wives used to practice I`tikaf after him.[Bukhari]

Dear Sister! when reading this do not forget the modesty and the Hijab of the wife of the Prophet (S) that you should observe if you intend to perform I`tikaf.

3-Seeking Laylatul-Qadr (the Night of Decree)

It is the greatest night of the year like the Day of `Arafah is the greatest day of the year. It is a night about which Allah reveled a full Surah, Suratul-Qadr [97:1-5] and the 3rd to the 6th verses of Surat ad-Dukhan [44:3-6]

It is the night when the Qur'an was reveled.

It is the night when the Message (the Final and seal of all messages) sent to Mohammad, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, started

It is the night when the light, that would illuminate mankind to the end of life, started

It is the night when every matter of ordainment is decreed

Allah says in what can be translated as :

"Verily! We have sent it (this Qur'aan) down in the Night of Decree (Lailatul-Qadr). And what will make you know what the Night of Decree is? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. Therein descend the angels and the Rooh (ie. Jibreel [Gabriel]) by Allaah's Permission with all Decrees, Peace! until the appearance of dawn." [97:1-5]

and in Surat ad-Dukhan :

"We sent it (this Qur'aan) down on a blessed Night. Verily, We are ever warning (mankind of Our Torment). Therein (that Night) is decreed every matter of ordainment. Amran (i.e. a command or this Qur'aan or His Decree of every matter) from Us. Verily, We are ever sending (the Messenger). (As) a Mercy from your Lord. Verily! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower. [44:3-6]

A person who misses Laylatul-Qadr is really a deprived person!

Abu Hurairah reported that the Prophet, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said " The blessed month has come to you. Allah has made fasting during it obligatory upon you. During it the gates to Paradise are opened and the gates of Hellfire are locked, and the devils are chained. There is a night [during this month] which is better than a thousand months. Whoever is deprived of its good is really deprived [of something great]. [Ahmad, an-Nisa'i and al-Bayhaqi]

One who misses this blessed night then he has missed much good for no one misses it except one from whom it is withheld. Therefore it is recommended that the Muslim who is eager to be obedient to Allaah should stand in Prayer during this night out of Eemaan and hoping for the great reward, since if he does this, Allaah will forgive his previous sins (1).

What happens to the person who witnesses Laylatul-Qadr? and what should one do?

Abu Hurairah Radhiya Allahu `anhu reported that the Messenger of Allah, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said : "Whoever stands (in prayer) in Lailatul-Qadr out of Eemaan (faith and sincerity) and seeking reward then his previous sins are forgiven". [Bukhari]

It is recommended to supplicate a lot during this night, it is reported from our mother 'Aishah radhiya Allahu `anha, that she said: "O Messenger of Allah! What if I knew which night Lailatul-Qadr was, then what should I say in it?" He said.- "Say.- (Allahumma innaka 'affuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee.)

"O Allaah You are The One Who pardons greatly, and loves to pardon, so pardon me.". [at-Tirmithi and Ibn Majah with a Sahih Isnad]

When is Laylatul-Qadr ?

It is preferred to seek this night during the last ten odd nights of Ramadan, as the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam,, strove his best in seeking it during that time. We have already mentioned that the Prophet would stay up during the last ten nights, would wake his wives, and then would remain apart from them to worship.

Ibn Abbas reported that the Prophet,salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said, "Look for the Night of Qadr in the last ten nights of Ramadan ,' on the night when nine or seven or five nights remain out of the last ten nights of Ramadan (i.e. 21, 23, 25, respectively)." [Bukhari]

`Aishah radhiya Allahu `anha said: "Allah's Messenger used to practice I`itikaf in the last ten nights and say: 'Seek out Lailatul-Qadr in the (odd nights) of the last ten of Ramadan." [Bukhari and Muslim]

However if the servant is too weak or unable, then he should at least not let the last seven pass him by, due to what is reported from Ibn 'Umar, who said: Allah's Messenger said: "Seek it in the last ten, and if one of you is too weak or unable then let him not allow that to make him miss the final seven.' [Bukhari and Muslim]

This explains his saying: "I see that your dreams are in agreement (that it is in the last seven) so he who wishes to seek it out then let him seek it in the last seven.' [Bukhari and Muslim]

It is known from the Sunnah, that knowledge of the exact night upon which Lailatul-Qadr falls was taken up because the people argued, 'Ubaadah ibn as- Saamit, radiyalloahu 'anhu, said: The Prophet came out intending to tell us about Lailatul-Qadr, however two men were arguing and he said: "I come out to inform you about Lailatul-Qadr but so and so, and, so and so were arguing, so it was raised up, and perhaps that is better for you, so seek it on the (twenty) ninth and the (twenty) seventh and the (twenty) fifth.'[Bukhari]

Some of the ahadeeth indicate that Lailatul-Qadr is in the last ten nights, while others indicate that it is in the odd nights of the last ten, so the first are general and the second more particular, and the particular has to be given priority over the general. Other ahadeeth state that it is in the last seven - and these are restricted by mention of one who is too weak or unable. So there is no confusion, all the ahadeeth agree and are not contradictory.

In conclusion: The Muslim should seek out Lailatui-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten: the night of the twenty-first, the twenty-third, the twenty-fifth, the twenty-seventh and the twenty-ninth. If he is too weak or unable to seek it out in all the odd nights, then let him seek it out in the odd nights of the of seven: the night of the twenty-fifth, the twenty-seventh and the twenty-ninth And Allah knows best. (1)

What are the signs of laylatul-Qadr?

Allaah's Messenger , salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, described the morning after Lailatul-Qadr, so that the Muslim may know which day it is. From Ubayy, radhiya Allahu 'anhu, who said: that he, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said: "On the morning following Lailatui-Qadr the sun rises not having any rays, as if it were a brass dish, until it rises up."[Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmithi and Ibn Majah]

Abu Hurairah, radhiya Allahu 'anhu, said : "We were discussing Lailatul-Qadr in the presence of Allah's Messenger so he said : 'Which of you remembers [the night] when the moon arose and was like half a plate?... [Muslim]

Ibn 'Abbaas, radhiya Allahu 'anhuma, said: Allaah's Messenger, salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam, said: "Lailatul-Qadr is calm and pleasant, neither hot nor cold, the sun arises on its morning being feeble and red." [at-Tayaalisee, Ibn Khuzaimah and al-Bazzaar with a Hasan Isnad]

We pray to Allah All Mighty Most Merciful to bless us this Ramadan by witnessing Laylatul-Qadr

Love,

Doa Cinta (di Hari Bahagia)

Ya Allah,

Limpahkanlah rasa cinta kepada kami,
Yang Kau jadikan pengikat rindu Rasulullah dan Khadijah Al Qubro
Yang Kau jadikan mata air kasih sayang
Ali bin Abi Thalib dan Fatimah Az Zahra
Yang Kau jadikan penghias keluarga Nabi-Mu yang suci.

Ya Allah,
Cukupkanlah permohonan kami dengan redha-Mu
Jadikanlah kami Suami & Isteri yang saling mencintai di kala dekat,
Saling menjaga kehormatan dikala jauh,
Saling menghibur dikala duka,
Saling mengingatkan dikala bahagia,
Saling mendoakan dalam kebaikan dan ketaqwaan,
Serta saling menyempurnakan dalam melaksanakan perintah-Mu.

Ya Allah,
Sempurnakanlah kebahagiaan kami
Dengan menjadikan perkawinan kami ini sebagai ibadah kepada-Mu
Dan bukti ketaatan kami kepada sunnah Rasul-Mu.

Amin Allahumma Amiin……

Ya Allah…
Sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Mengetahui bahawa hati-hati ini telah berkumpul untuk mencurahkan cinta hanya kepada-Mu, bertemu untuk taat kepada-Mu, bersatu dalam rangka menyeru [di jalan]-Mu, dan berjanji setia untuk membela syariat-Mu maka kuatkanlah ikatan pertaliannya.

Ya Allah…
Abadikan kasih sayang kami, tunjukkanlah jalan yang benar kepada kami dan penuhilah dengan cahaya-Mu yang tidak pernah redup, lapangkanlah dada kami dengan limpahan iman dan keindahan tawakal kepada-Mu, hidupkanlah dengan ma’rifat-Mu, dan matikanlah dalam keadaan syahid di jalan-Mu. Sesungguhnya Engkau sebaik-baik pelindung dan sebaik-baik penolong. Dan semoga selawat serta salam selalu tercurah kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW, kepada keluarganya dan kepada semua sahabatnya.

Ya Allah…
Hari ini (11 Julai 2011) dua hamba-Mu yang dhaif mematri janji dalam Mitsaqan Ghaliza di hadapan kebesaran-Mu. Kami tahu tidak mudah untuk memelihara ikatan suci ini dalam naungan redha dan maghfirah-Mu. Kami tahu, amat berat bagi kami untuk mengayuh perahu rumah tangga kami menghadapi taufan godaan di hadapan kami. Kerana itulah, kami datang memohon rahman dan rahim-Mu.

Tunjukkanlah kami jalan yang lurus, jalan orang-orang yang lebih Engkau anugerahkan kenikmatan, bukannya jalan orang-orang yang Engkau timpakan kemurkaan, bukan pula jalan orang-orang yang Engkau tenggelamkan dalam kesesatan. Sinarilah hati kami dengan cahaya petunjuk-Mu.

Terangilah jalan kami dengan sinar taufik-Mu. Kalau Engkau berkenan menganugerahkan nikmat-Mu atas kami, bantulah kami untuk banyak berzikir dan bersyukur atas nikmat-Mu itu. Hindari kami dari orang-orang yang terlena dalam kemewahan dunia. Lembutkan hati kami untuk merasakan curahan rahmat-Mu.

Ya Allah…
Indahkanlah rumah kami dengan kalimah-kalimah-Mu yang suci. Suburkanlah kami dengan keturunan yang membesarkan asma-Mu. Penuhi kami dengan amal soleh yang Engkau redhai. Jadikan mereka Ya Allah teladan yang baik bagi manusia.

Ya Allah…
Damaikanlah pertengkaran di antara kami, pertautkan hati kami, dan tunjukkan kepada kami jalan-jalan keselamatan. Selamatkan kami dari kegelapan kepada cahaya. Jauhkan kami dari keburukan yang nampak dan tersembunyi.

Ya Allah…
Berkatilah pendengaran kami, penglihatan kami, hati kami, suami/isteri kami, keturunan kami dan ampunilah kami.

Sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.

.: AminYa Rabbal 'Alamin :.
