All around me

I have many things on my mind- a few stories to tell, a few post to write. But then I think that I would cut it short :). Sebab, esok puasakan so kena simpan tenaga


I want to write about a close friend/family which akad nikad ceremony I attended in pejabat agama. Me being there for an emotional support. I was feeling sensitive and almost in tears listening to the Kadi ceramah before the akad. We, married couple should attend as many acara akad nikah if possible you know and listen carefully :) to the kadi ceramah. It refreshes ones’ mind, and it reminds ones’ responsibilities. Suami pada isteri, isteri pada suami, parents pada anak anak.


I was touched. (macam biasa lah, saya Over ). In his ceramah, tok kadi talked about something which I have heard before and he was not the first person whom I heard this from – he said that everything starts from home- everything starts from US. Nak a better future? From home, nak a better Malaysia? From home, nak a better life yang dirahmati Allah? From home. Nak membanteras maksiat? From home. From home – from our children. Such a huge responsibility that we have on us. Bukan calang calang, bila difikir fikirkan. Kadi said, anak kenalkan dengan Allah, dengan kitabnya, dengan rasulnya. Always choose Islam first. Betul account bank Islam tak tentu lagi Islamnya (sebab secular) but we should always choose that first before anything else . Sekolah islam – integrasi Islamic definetly if mampu. If not hantarla ke kafa – walau kafa tak wajib. Pagi petang anak pergi sekolah, memang kesian but kesian untuk mereka menjadi a good muslim isyaAllah. Ajar baca Al Quran supaya mereka boleh read to us when we die . Baca kosmo tak sampai ke alam barzah he said :D (sempat buat lawak ya mu Ustaz).


I want to write about Acha who failed the get the same school with Erdina for standard 1 placement. Susah hati saya. Yeah right, I could appeal. Such a simple thing but can take a different turn if it was planned without first asking for Allah’s blessings and His rahmah. I rasa sebab tu kot. I guessed that maybe I have forgotten to start the day with doa, masa I submit Acha's application before. Maybe I did not start my day with bismillah or doa dipermudahkan. I guranteed it myself that my address will definetly secure the school. After all, Erdina got it so easy- easy peasy. I guaranteed myself that– no hal ah Acha lagilah boleh dapat sebab kakak dia dah disitu kan. I lupa sometimes I can get unlucky or my path can be slightly bumpy and dangggggggggg. The lesson is that every day, doa dan harapan should comes first before anything else. Even before the physical act and before our every effort. Tula sebab kita ada doa awal tahun. Itulah sebab kita minta Rabbi yassir wala tu a’sir. Bak kata Ustaz Kamil dalam buku dia – there is nothing as coincidence. Bergantunglah hanya kepada Allah dalam setiap perkata, no matter small- bak kata En Bisri in his book, even kalau nak duduk jangan bergantung pada kekuatan kerusi tu, boleh patah bebila ja, mulakan dengan bismillah dan bergantunglah kepada Allah. Hanya kepada Allah


I want to write about a pakcik who sells keropok kering in front of a bank. So clean his face and so fatherly he looks. Tak kisah lah kan syndicate ke tak. Yet, I wondered so  I asked him, where he came from and with whom. I cant help it because he was so old and should be at home with family and grandchildren. He said that he was from Sg Buloh and he rode a motorcycle to Shah Alam nak, cari duit lebih sikit untuk bulan Ramadhan. Dan hati saya pun tersentuh and a melanchony feeling swept over me. So I bought his keropok (but tak sedap :), takpala menjual is better than minta sedekah


Hidup penuh dengan pengajaran kan. If only we want to look around and understand it. Whatever it is, I am so thankful that I am still breathing the air and I am truly greatful for today dalam kurang dan dalam susah :) tapi masih senang berbanding yang lebih susah. 

Alhamdulillah - I know that not every day is  a good day but there is a good thing in each day. 

Love ermayum
