Imam's Horse

emm...baru balik dari sport hall..letih juga..
biasanya weekend je lah masa utk kami semua nak enjoy with our kids..
kami bermain kat badminton court univ..booking dari jam 1 hingga 4..
bolehlah kalau setakat nak lepas tension..
bagi muslimatnya pula..sambil beriadhah
..juga adalah hari utk kami
menambah ilmu..study circle muslimah biasanya bermula jam 3ptg..
tak ramai yang dapat hadir..mungkin masing2 ada hal agaknya..
di sini kupaparkan petikan dari 'noonswansea' sebuah kisah yang padaku agak lucu tetapi mempunyai maksud yang sangat mendalam ..

An Imam was selling his horse in the market.
An interested buyer came to him and requested if he could get a test ride.
The Imam told the man that this horse is unique.
In order to make it walk, you have to say 'Subhanallah'.
To make it run, you have to say 'Alhamdulillah' and to make it stop, you have to say 'AllahuAkbar'.
The man sat on the horse and said 'Subhanallah'.
The horse started to walk. Then he said 'Alhamdulillah' and it started to run.
He kept saying 'Alhamdulillah' and the horse started running faster and faster.
All of sudden the man noticed that the horse is running towards the edge of the hill that he was riding on.
Being overly fearful, he forgot how to stop the horse.
He kept saying these words out of confusion.
When the horse was just near the edge,
he remembered 'Allahu akbar' and said it out loud.
The horse stopped just one step away from the edge.
The man took a deep breath, looked up towards the sky and said 'Alhamdulillah'!.

The shipwreck

Dear my lovely kids...
something I want to share with...

(kenangan di hadapan big ben london)

the only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island.
He prayed feverishly for Allah to rescue him,
and every day he scanned the horizon or help,
but none seemed forthcoming.
Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood
to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions.
but then one day, after scavenging for food,
he arrived home to find his little hut in flames,
the smoke rolling up to the sky. the worst had happened; everything was lost.
he was stunned with grief and anger. ''Allah, how could you do this to me!'' he cried.
early the next day, however, he was awakened by the sound
of a ship that was approaching the island.
it had come to rescue him.
'' How did you know I was here?''
asked the weary man of His rescuers.
'' We saw your smoke signal'' they replied.

(kenangan di London Eye)

O my dearest..
It is easy to get discouraged when things are going badly.
But we shouldn't lose heart, because Allah is at work in our lives,
even in the midst of pain and suffering.
Remember, next time your little hut is burning to the ground-
it just may be a smoke signal that summons The Grace of Allah.

Salam awal muharram

Di kesempatan yg ada ini, kami ingin mengucapkan
'Selamat menyambut 1 Muharram 1429 Hijriah' pada semua .
Semoga segala pengisian perjalanan lalu menjadi teladan bekalan perjalanan seterusnya, insyaAllah.

Disisipkan di sini, bait2 peringatan buat diri(ku) yang sering terlupa.


Abdullah bin Umar r.a berkata, bahawa ketika dia sedang
duduk-duduk di sisi Rasulullah s.a.w. lalu datang seorang
lelaki memberi salam dan bertanya kepada Rasulullah:
“Siapakah yang lebih utama (lebih baik) di kalangan orang yang beriman?”
Jawab Rasulullah s.a.w.:
“Orang yang lebih baik di kalangan orang beriman ialah mereka yang berakhlak mulia.” Kemudian lelaki itu bertanya lagi:
“Siapakah orang yang paling cerdik di kalangan orang yang beriman?”
Jawab Nabi s.a.w.:
“Orang yang paling cerdik ialah mereka yang banyak mengingati mati, dan banyak membuat persiapan untuk menghadapi mati.”


Indeed, the sacred month of Muharram is a blessed and important month.
It is the first month of the Hijri calendar and is one of the four sacred months concerning which Allah says,
Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year),
so it was ordained by Allah on the Day when
He created the heavens and the earth; of them, four are sacred.
That is the right religion, so wrong not yourselves therein)
(At-Tawbah 9: 36)


The Prophet (S.A.W) said,
“Fasting the day of `Ashura' (is of great merits),
I hope that Allah will accept it as an expiation for (the sins committed in)
the previous year” (Muslim).

Moga hari ini, hari yang terbaik dari hari semalam
dan moga hari esok lebih baik dari hari ini
May Allah bless us

Kenangan di Villamora and Faro

dari gibraltar lebih kurang jam 7 pm kami bertolak pula ke villamora portugal...target dalam 4 hours sampai lah di sana...
sepanjang perjalanan dari highway sevilla andalucia..
kelihatan di kiri dan kanan jalan dipenuhi pohon2 zaitun dan bunga matahari..
deretan rumah bertaburan bagaikan mutiara indah berwarna putih begitu mengasyikkan...subhanallah cantiknya..
alhamdulillah..perjalanan kami dipermudahkan Allah..dan lebih kurang jam 12 malam kami tiba..rupanya kat sini jamnya lewat satu jam dari andalucia.
esoknya selepas bermain di tepi pantai villamora kami bertolak ke Faro, antara bandar terkenal di Portugal. Oleh kerana masing2 dah letih ..kami sekadar pusing2 bergambar , beli postcard dan souvenir untuk dibawa pulang..

Tour de la Andalusia Spain

dari 06 June 2007- 10 June 2007

bermula dari Sevilla ..bermalam di granada..
seterusnya ke cordova keesokan harinya..
berikutnya menginap di malaga..
mendaki jabal tariq di gibraltar..
seterusnya ke portugal menginap di villamora

tak terjangkau di fikiranku
bahawa suatu hari nanti..
aku akan menjejaki bumi yang pernah ditakluki oleh tentera Muslim di zaman kerajaan Abbasiyah..

my hubby bergambar kenangan bersama ust. muhaimin
dan ust. zuhdi di belakang al-hamra'

view dari atas perkampungan El-Albaicin... di belakang kami ialah the palace al-Hamra'.
El Albaicín pula ialah the old Moorish quarter of the city. It's located on a hill facing the Alhambra and there are dramatic views of this area from the palace's famous rose gardens.

with my best friends forever..seri, kak wan , adik n kakak

menyelusuri perjalanan ini
aku terpaku melihat mengamati dan meniliti
dan kucuba memahami..
apa yang tersurat dan apa yang tersirat
peninggalan syuhada' beratus tahun dahulu..

namun kini..
kota al-hamra' di granada..madinah al-zahra'..
al-cazabar di cordova..jabal tariq ibnu ziyad..di gibraltar
ahhh...khazanah dan warisan itu bukan milik muslimin lagi..
keangkuhan ..kealpaan ..kemewahan..dan kecintaan
membelenggu umat pada dunia

maka..yang tinggal kini
hanyalah untuk dibangga yang 'tidak berbekas'
sayu dan pilu menusuk di hati..
namun kutetap memanjat doa pada Illahi..
moga suatu hari nanti ia kan kembali kepada mukmin jua..
insyaAllah
