Ila Aulaadi

O Allah In Your Glorious and Gracious Name I begin

I’m starting a new category. its called Ila Aulaadi. Literally and amateurishly translated it would mean; To My Children.

well ya. of course i dont have children of my own. just yet.

these are then, simple musings dedicated to my future children..

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

My Dearest Children,

This is a category i started a day after i turned 26. Hamdan lillah, Praise Be to Our Creator for prolonging my life up till this moment. I have had this plan in mind for quite some time, but well Qadr Allah says that i would be materializing the plan at this particular point in time.

So this is where I’ll be gathering and restoring all the precious points of Life Lessons that i have encountered, yes, musings on L i f e that i wanted to share and enlighten you with. and you shall read it all the moment you have develop literacy, supported by maturity of course, wink.. well by that time only Allah knows what techno gadget will crop up, huh.. and what will happen to your Mummy’s blog? Well lets pray together it remains protected to that day.

There’s a lot i want to tell you My Sweethearts,

See, that’s the trend taken up by most young Mommies that i know, their journals are writings dedicated to their beloved children to be read in the upcoming future.. the first that ever inspired me was Ummu Humaira’s, my strong-willed-hearted friend whom you shall call Aunty Mar.. and then there were other series that were of inspirations to me; Aunty Anfaal’s, Aunty Iman’s, AuntyHanis’s..among other inspirational ones there are out there

But i’ve had this thought & plan long before i came across these sites.. and while they write to their daughters and sons who are growing up amidst their presence..

i shall commence on my writings to you, even as you have not yet emerge into existence..

And with Allah’s Will

i shall meet you one day

either you are my own flesh and blood

or you are not, i shall be your guardian nevertheless,

i shall .. be .. your Mother.

Your very own.

The one sitting on my lap there is Yousra. she is the younger sister of my student Mubarak. i have a very memorable experience with her .. one that warms the heart.

Sweet memories @ Performance Day 08, with Yousra and Yousra's best friend

This is the story

Once, in the early morn, as the inhabitants of Adni were bustling

around the blessed learning center, all heading towards

their respective destinations to start the day

i caught Mubarak and his sister Yousra at the main entrance of the building

stationed right infront of the door.

Mubarak was persuading.

Yousra looked immovable. sullen. and she was seated. stiffly

I approached them and enquired with the elder brother,

and Mubarak filled me in with the story..

“She doesn’t want to go to school, Teacher…”

Apparently the preschool blues got the best of our cute chubby preschooler

yup. she would not budge. even a millinch

Well that’s when your Mummy came to the rescue

hehe.. well i decided to give it a try

…so i lowered myself

i smiled and looked at her in the eyes..

and i asked her

“What’s wrong Yousra?”

I gave my best reassuring smiling eye

i took her hand gently and said

in cheerful mode

“C’mon Yousra let’s go.. i’ll take you there..”

She got up

and i sent her all the way to her class.

Hand in hand

Now this is Yousra's Mother who is also one of my Mommy-friends .. they came from Nigeria

I have one more little girl i want to tell you about.. she’ll be a senior to you, Rumaysaa

Her name is Rania.. she’s the daughter of my dear friend in faith Habibah, yes most likely her Mum named her after the Princess Rania of Jordan. and i really like to observe her every move, you know why.. cause she behaves just like a princess! I even call her Princess! yes I certainly do.. lol. A very prim and proper toddler she is, Alhamdulillah

her mother raised her well.. i will have a lot to learn from Aunty Bibah, wont i ..

There was a time,

at the monthly enlightening gathering of ours

in a living room

she was seated on the house sofa with her Mum

i came by and sat near them

She was trying to put her stockings on

Or rather her Mother was trying to do it for her,

Lol

I sat down, quite close to her

and didn’t realize i was sitting on the end of her long pink stocking

and she winced

And spontaneously i exclaimed;

“Uh. i’m sorry i sat on your royal stocking..”

Princess Rania of Malaysia

well my last words for this first post,

i shall wait for the day when it will be

you

sitting on my lap, My Dear Rumaysaa.

with Allah’s Will

i have the patience to wait..and i shall anticipate.

Amiin.

26th

Bismillahirrahmaanirraheem

So..inshaAllah sekiranya diizinkan Allah, diperpanjangkan hayaah, i shall be turning

this 26th June

TabarakAllah indeed, what a special year this is..

i mean the specialty and significant concurrences of the numbers ..

Ya Allah .. tua dah aku nih

But i do wonder if i will make it to that day… and the solemn truth is ..we wonder if we would even make it to the next millisecond, do we not..

From the deepest seat of sincerity my heart could bear,I would like to take this blessed opportunity to seek from all my

f r i e n d s

and

students

alike,

near and far,

known and unknown

of the best gift ever;

the gift of  forgiveness

over all the errors that i have committed towards you out of my weaknesses..

please forgive me

seeking with ikhlaas,

rahimah

The One Whose Feet Is Above Paradise

Al-Salaamu alaykum Ikhwaani wa Akhawaati

Subhan Allah, i was viewing this video a few minutes ago and as i read; instantly i felt that this was another of those beyond-price materials.. and even though its 3am right now, i’ll not feel at ease if i were to go ahead and sleep without taking a part in disseminating the noble message recorded in this video. Kindly allow me to share with you this heartrending piece, Honourable Readers..

*the image may not be as clear,  therefore please i request, that you kindly maintain your focus on the subtitles..

read with your heart..all the way till the end..

Sourced from Youth Matters

*tears* Subhan Allah and just 2 days ago (before being destined to come across the above video) i was reading this written version (down below)..Ighfir dhunuubana ya Ghaffur..

Voice of Motherhood from A Heart

It is reported that a person became besotted and fell in love with a woman. He wanted to marry her. This despicable lady agreed to marry him on the condition that he slices his mother’s chest and brings her the heart of his mother. This heinous person listened to the lady and one night he murdered his mother, sliced open her chest and took out her heart. He took the heart and was on his way to the lady. On the way there he stumbled and tripped and the heart fell out of his hand and landed a short distance away. At that time a voice was heard from the heart saying, “My son, are you hurt?”

This is the love that a Mother has for her child. There is no example of this love anywhere. Even after death, a Mother is not able to see her children in pain.

Cry.

Let us cry with all our might

and hope these tearful droplets

may wash away the sins..

O Allah, Forgive Us for all our sins towards our Parents

especially the one whose feet is above Paradise.

they call this day MOTHERS’ DAY ~

Al-Salaamu alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh wa ridhwaanuh

Hurm..so..hows everyone doing..?

Okay i’ve lost touch with a lot of people..just wondering whats the latest with everyone in the world..my Muslim sisters and brothers, yes you; the one reading? ..And whats the latest with the people who use to kindly frequent my humble dhaeef blog..

Hmm Puan Sumayyah apa khabar anda..? sibuk ka puan suri rumah ..hari tu kReyma call nak habaq perkembangan penting kome pulak tak angkat, haih… hehehe.. ! And i was just wondering how things are going with mydear Cikgu Maddy, dengar khabar mission accomplished eh Mads ..? TabarakAllah..you know, i may not have spoken much -or more like have never actually said anything at your blog of recent times,lol- but i’ve sure been visiting and skim-reading and following your development.. k.Rahimah tumpang gumbira on your achievement, the fact that you’ve completed your writing -in which the process as i have understood from your accounts were: painstaking-.. so i gather this is some ‘conquest of liberty’?.. freed at last eh Madihah..i’m truly happy for you. And adinda Dr. Zahrah Liza Izzati..apahabaq Dokterrr..sibuk ka ..

And i was just wondering whats the latest with Mama and Sarah ..? i sure have been missing out a lot on those remarkable child rearing stories and tips from the faithful Mommies..  yes my dearests Ummi and Fida’ whom i miss dearly, how are you? and whats cooking with my two comrades across the sea El-Prof El-Rabeeah fil Yaban and Dr. Illi min Manchester   .. and Monsieur Amin? hmm seems like you’ve also had your blog on protected view?

Khayr, just to clarify to everyone, emm just in case you had all been coming over and was greeted by the “Log In” page, please be assured that I had no intentions to keep my site under enclosed and restricted viewing. Over the last 2 months i’ve actually been highly and thoroughly occupied with responsibilities at school that i’ve not really had the extra time to be blog writing and to add to the matter, those times were a concurrent period of internet inaccessibility. yaa..i was without internet access for almost two months, we had some connection problems at home, although the situation was saved by my beluved  Sister the moment she came home (after having completed her Matriculation recently, AlHamdu lillah)..so she basically came to the rescue, got it fixed in a jiffy. as her so called big sister is what we so call tak bole diharap when it comes to the so called technical matters such as these..lol

So as i said earlier, i have been caught up with work and did not really have the desired space of time and opportunity for proper monitoring over my blog; but the security of my blog was still my concern so rather than leaving this site unattended i thought that i would have to put it on temporary close down.

So thats what it was, just a temporary close down, okay ..

But erm .. theres actually a little bit more to it. I will continue to put it on ‘padlock’ -so to say through out May and will inshaAllah be reopening middle of June.

youknow why?

because its the school holidays la.. mid year break.. ya.. time-time macam tu la baru kami para cikgus ni bole bernafas sket..lol

So inshaAllah i’ll be leaving this memo on for a while, and after a week or so i’ll have to lock the place up and i’ll be on Leave. My kids are going to be sitting for their examination in 2 weeks time, [First Semester Examination, 2009]  and after that ..well the answer scripts will be directed unfailingly back onto the teachers’ table for marking!!! (Erm that basically means: i’ll have stacks of papers waiting to be marked. Doesnt that just sound ‘thrilling’..haha.. Nevertheless, i enjoy the profession genuinely, and thats me being honest, wAllahi)

Okay,  so do bear with me..inshaAllah by the time i come back, err i’ll be having a little surprise for everyone..! hehe.. so stay tuned..

Wassalaam

The Essence of Brotherhood

If you really care for your brother then waste no time in ensuring that his afflictions are made known.

Have Faith Dear Falastinis .. Humans may betray but never The Creator

Have you been using, misusing or abusing your Freedom?

Sacrifice your pleasures. Don’t talk much. Just do it.

Each riyal, dirham …etc. used to buy their goods eventually becomes bullets to be fired at the hearts of brothers and children in Palestine..
To buy their goods is to support tyranny, oppression and aggression.
-Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi

Getting set

Praise and Glory Be to You My Lord. In Your Glorious Name I Begin

* * *

On your marks, Get set, GO

* * *

Peace greetings be upon all of you..

Hmm been quite a while since I expressed some thoughts here..

Teringat style Solah ibn Abu Solah berkata “Lamenye Solah tak writing kat sini”.. Lol.. cute..

So the new year is approaching in less than a week’s time.. Have you all shopped for your planners and organizers yet..? I still need to get mine. And I need to get it quick.. in fact I would rate this as fairly late already… i.e for proactive people’s standard… for the standard of a true Muslim….

Your clients are your mad’u… And you are a Muslim…and a MUSLIM who really lives up to his name is a world class individual

‘Planners & organizers’ ..?

Penting ke…?

~ ~ ~

Ada apa dengan sebuah ‘buku’ ?

Balaa

Dalam buku ada

segalanya

Maka

jangan diperlekeh nilai sebuah ‘buku catatan’

~ ~ ~

Betapa pentingnya sebuah ‘buku record’ dapat dilihat by the fact that our Deeds KESELURUHANNYA tercatat di atas sebuah ‘buku’.. terkandung di dalamnya segala serba serbi amalan kita..

a book that will not betray,

one record book,

carefully compiled,

by two Loyal Writers.

So how set are you to confront the New Year..?

I personally have to be prepared at all cost. We’re currently undergoing our yearly Teachers Training at school, (hah! make no mistake that your Teachers masuk sekolah 2 minggu lebih awal from you all, o beloved Students!) and yesterday we just had a Teachers meeting and I have been gracefully handed;

Two EXAM classes

for next year.. and now I’m just like

*in a daze*

And still trying to get over it ..

Imagine two subjects namely English & Islamic Studies.

Imagine two major examinations.

Imagine two classes.

Imagine 45 students.

Imagine one teacher.

Al-Hamdu lillah, its good if you can imagine what I’m up against next year..

Because I really cant..

Lol..

It’ll be my first (FIRST) experience handling an exam class, insha’ALLAH

So one more week to go to get all necessary preparations SOLID STRONG. InshaAllah 2009 shall be my third year of service in the school.. dan setelah 2 tahun berada di sini diriku sudah mula mengerti bahawasanya perjalanan tahunan dari 1 January hingga 15 November on a yearly basis sungguh bagaikan satu acara balapan di trek larian..

1 tahun umpama 1 satu pusingan

And the key word here being you’re literally on the run..

Gear kena sentiasa on D… larian yang berterusan.

Maka dari itu, persediaan harus dilakukan sebelum larian bermula. Kerna sesungguhnya sebaik saja tembakan Tahun Baru dilepaskan you just have to; run, and you will have to keep on running ..even if you dont want to!

And part of the preparation is getting yourself a good organizer to help you get organized thru out the 12 months… my personal organizer is for me, one important & prized asset that helps me administer my life…

MPHs offers a good selection, my favourite usual spot is MPH, JJ Wangsa Maju.. inshaAllah akan dilangsaikan this very day, insha’ALLAH!!!

I like mine simple..

but with a lot of functions

Monthly and weekly pages; ..mandatory components.

and an overall birds eye view of the Monthly pages.. feature yang tersangat penting !

even if I can afford a digital canggih one, as an oldie from the old school I would still very much prefer the conventional manual form… ^_^

as i was randomly surfing for these images i came across this one; a combo of digital and conventional approaches.. hmm.. nice (:

So insha’Allah, gettin ready to run…

“Ruqaya Al-Ghasara, you make us proud.. Wal-Hamdu lillah”, your Muslim Ummah.

Praise and Glory Be to You My Lord. In Your Glorious Name I Begin

Sesekali

Sesekala

Angin Peringatan bertiup dan menyapa

Sungguh manusia itu sifatnya leka dan alpa

……………

….

.

Sehingga sampai satu detik ketetapan masa

Angin Peringatan Kau hantarkan

Buat menyadarkan

Kami sekalian hambaMu yang bergelar Insaan

Agar mengembalikan pengabdian,

Ketundukkan dan penghambaan,

Dan mengotakan kata janji, dan menyucikan kesaksian

Bahawa ALLAH Tuhan Sekalian Alam yang berhak disembah dalam KEESAAN

Timpanya

Bencana Bukit Antrabangsa,

Bukan untuk penduduk kawasan Ulu Klang semata-mata

Gelombang Peringatan Nya menyapah dan merata

Mengena dan menggetarkan,

lalu mengejutkan hati-hati yang telah sekian lama lena..

Bersabarlah, residen Taman Mewah dan taman-taman sekitarnya

Dalam menghadapi Tragedi Bukit Antarabangsa …

Iman itu yakin maksudnya

Maka yakinilah bahawa Allah Maha Berkuasa

Maha Mengetahui, Maha Adil lagi Maha Pengasih sifatNya

Tidak pernah sesekali Dia menzalimi walau seorang pun dari golongan hambaNya.

Telah dihantar sebuah peringatan berharga

Lambang kasih dan cintaNya Yang Maha Berkuasa

Khususnya buat penduduk beriman di perkarangan perumahan-perumahan di Ampang

dan kawasan di sekitarnya

Moga turut diinsafi oleh seluruh rakyat jelata di semenanjung tanah Malaysia.

I don’t know how exactly it came about but lately I’ve been some what poetically inclined .. which is SO not me. You’d betta believe that.. lol.. Seriously..

I noticed that nowadays, whenever I feel a strong sentiment over a certain issue, I would end up expressing the matter in random poetical lines (ahhh poetry-writing reminds me of my beloved student Yasmin who does this too, although hers is much better arranged of course .. this is a ‘like student-like teacher’ or ’student inspiring her teacher’ case.. oh I do miss you my everdearest Yasmin)

And yea as you can see.. my pieces go by absolute arbitrary order.. no adherence to the conventional poetry procedural whatsoever! Haha! Fancy that coming from a literature student.. yah well I am undeniably a rigid person of formalities, but surprisingly when it came down to these amateur attempts, I, to simply put it; cant quite be bothered to maintain with those conventional poetical structure and schemes.. I’ve been adopting the ISA-style (ikut suka aku) Lol…

And with regards to the pieces yg dinukilkan dalam BM .. yaa I know lah, they’re a laughing stock .. ya I can hear you laughing just now while reading the piece above.. he he .. (I kid)

Well whatever I have down is as much as I can do with BM being a secondary language to me.. although, its not like theres a big striking difference between the two, BM is only slightly a little behind English as my means of communication .. so ya I hope you can bare with the irregularity and grammatical flaws that persisted thru out the piece..

Precious

Praise and Glory Be to You My Lord. In Your Glorious Name I Begin

Be a person of essence and substance and know..

that one of the really precious things in life is;

The knowledge about your (own) history.

He who knows not his history

Knows nothing.

And your enemies

Shall strenuously and forever ensure

That you shall know absolutely nothing

About the true history.

Your history.

How can you be so cheap as to let yourself become a victim of the plan..

O Muslim, become not a member of the ignorant class!

Knoweth thee thy history,

Now.

NOW.

NOW!

Right here at: http://isk.dakwah.info/

If you’re MUSLIM enough, take up the challenge to master your history

Your own history for crying out loud!

And since this is my blog

Therefore, the above challenge was directed towards the very blog owner herself.

Wallahu a’-lam.

Edit:

-_- Ya Allah I seek Your Forgiveness.. how could have I regarded it as a challenge.. it is in actuality,

an obligation.

Sebak

Praise and Glory Be to You My Lord. In Your Glorious Name I Begin

26th November 2008

Undergone one of my sebak moments in life as the two everlovedandbeloved souls of mine depart for the Sacred Land.. A few hours before the departure I couldn’t hold back the tears, intense heartfelt tears from within…had a good tearful cry.. and it was good that I let it out earlier .. when the real moment came for them to leave takda lah melodramatic sangat jadinya.. although the tears came trickling down nevertheless..

~ ~ ~

Moga Allah Maha Penyayang memeliharamu

dari segala mara bahaya

Di Bumi Barakah sana

Duhai Ibunda dan Ayahandaku

Tercinta

~

ahh that sebak surge is rising from inside as I write this post..

There are many places yang mustajab du’aa di Makkah sana kan.. yup my Mum siap ada one little note book khas to write down doa-doa yang orang kirim .. so ya if you, yes you; the one reading right now terasa macam nak kirim a Doa request [kan selalu nya ada request lagu/nasyid, ha ni slot request doa pula.. ] bole je inform me and I can sms to my parents over there…

The doa [the more accurate spelling is actually Du’aa] has to be specific though, for instance

~ to ask Allah to heal you from illness x

~ to ask Allah to help resolve problem y

~ to ask Allah to descend guidance over decision z

~ etc.. it can be just about anything basically

~ and where individuals are involved, their names must be mentioned, please be informed

So if you wish to make a Du’aa, you can simply sms me for those who have my number… alternatively you can email it to me [I’m thinkin of ppl in some distant land like El-Raby Chan in Yaban..lol.. *for those who might not know, Yaban is Japan in Arabic]

So the format is simply

-Your own name, and

-Your Du’aa

That’s all .. please feel free to email it to: ummu.ansaar@yahoo.co.uk

So don’t let a golden opportunity be wasted.. *although i’ll have to find out on the expiry date

Now of course this does not go to say that our requests will be granted immediately, we know that all too well right.. these are just parts of our little efforts of Ikhtiyaar..

~ ~ ~

I’d like to take this opportunity to put up this song.. in remembrance of my everbeloved Mother whom I’m missing as the days pass by

I’ve had this song for quite a while and been meaning to put up for quite some time. Yes, this clip which is being uploaded here shall bear a considerable amount of historical weight as it shall be the first youtube video I am uploading in the history of my humble blog

I dedicate it first and foremost to my beloved Mum currently in Makkah Al Mukarramah, and secondly since you’re an Ibu I’d also like to dedicate it to you Iman @ Mama Sarah ..and also to Umm Fida @ k.Hanis dearest whom I miss dearly.. aggghhh Fida chomel..musti dah besa dah aaa…

i also dedicate the song to Mothers all around the world

Presenting Hijjaz – Ibu

A word of reminder:

1.For those Malays who do not and cannot appreciate Malay worded songs, or sentimental ones for that matter, this is unfortunately not the song for you.. Takziah, i do sympathize with you for not being able to connect with your roots.. Lol.

2.Please let the clip buffer the first round. Then enjoy an uninterrupted smooth version the second round… key word here is; Enjoy. Please do. And take heed..

Thank you.
