a lot in short~

Dengan nama Allah, yang maha pengasih lagi maha mengasihani..
selawat dan salam ke atas junjungan besar kita nabi Muhammad saw, para sahabat dan keluarga baginda..

subhanallah wabihamdih~
subhanallahil adzim~


Sounds ambiguous huh? What I really meant with above title is that, I learn a lot of things in a short period of time. When Allah wakes me up this morning, I felt really grateful that He has given me chances to become a better person, to keep on seeking Him and to do my responsibility as an ‘abid and a khalif.




When I opened my YM, I saw a link from my friend shoutout, I clicked on the link and a video on a student confronting his teacher appeared. It was a harsh conversation, both the teacher and the student has little respect, or should I say, none at all towards each other. It was a mutual dislike and hatred. I became scared, for a moment. What kind of teacher am I going to be later? Questions over question start to emerge on my little brain. Oh, Allah will help me. InsyaAllah! He is the only one that I can seek help from. Definitely, there must be reason, why Allah gives me inspiration to click on the link and watch the video. At that moment, I though, Allah wants to teach me to be more dependent on Him, as He knows better.


Afternoon~

I was reading my EDUC257 in Bill Robertson library. I am really happy that I am granted a spot which is next to the heater. Horey!! Alhamdulillah. I get the warm cosy seat, all for myself. I dive into words and sentences. What I conclude from the reading was, the importance of a good relationship between teacher and students. Yea.. to establish a non-threatening environment, it starts with human. You know.. interaction, believe and respect towards each other. Really, I then saw the connection between what I use to hear from Ustaz Hasrizal Jamil talk,

People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care~

This one short sentence means a lot to humans who see and hear things by heart, not just mind. It took a lot of time, perseverance to become a “useful” being towards others. But yea.. death is the best tazkiraah (reminder) to everyone.
The awareness regarding the temporariness of life and its real purpose will make us be mindful and thoughtful of whatever it is that we are doing and aiming.
In fact, it needs Allah’s guidance and blessing to be able to perform good deeds, should I say, everything requires Allah’s permission. So, the very first thing to do, is to say du’aa~

lake tikapo, winter 2010

Oo Allah, help me to love you
Oo Allah, help me to always be on your path
Don’t let me stray
Oo Allah, hold my hearts tight..
I am not capable of your heaven, but I cant bare the hellfire,
From You I seek refugee, from You I ask for aid..
Lead my way, Allah the almighty..
