~ Secercah Kasih Yang Terpendam ~

I posted this on my Facebook on November 16! And apparently the person I talked about on the following status knew that I talked about her 😉 and that i I dedicated the status for her!  too sweet, init?? !!! And I was searching and searching the answer of this feeling and finally I got it. It gives me satisfaction and put my quest to rest. You can read the answer at the end of this post ------ I was in the gathering and expected her to come  and turn up. It's been a few weeks I haven't seen her but I deeply missed her.  As soon as she walked in the room, I felt the warmth of her presence and I couldn't help not to smile although she didn't notice it. I can describe my happiness as if I meet an old friend for the first time after years of separation.  We didn't exchange words, but once we catch up, the flow of our conversation can be endless. I feel like she gets me. she's funny, intelligent, and very sensible. I value greatly her advice on many issues. I can rel...

A must read story of the not so prominent Sahabee – Julay’beeb رضي الله عنهم.   It is narrated in the Books of History that Julay’beeb رضي الله عنهم was a Sahabee who was: • short in height • deformed in appearance • his lineage was not known • no one knew who his parents had been • with no clan to protect him • no tribe willing to accept him as their own • he cut a lonely figure even the small children of Madinah would tease & mock him • owing to his disabilities no one would allow him to sit in their company. He survived as best he could, many a lonely night in Madinah he spent wondering the streets in despair, tears of desperation would run down his cheeks, there was no one willing to offer him love or compassion, he had no family & not a single friend in the world. Life for him was a lonely struggle. After the arrival of the Prophet of Allaah ﷺ to Madinah, the fortunes of Julay’beeb رضي الله عنهم changed. He would go & sit in the company of the Prophet ﷺ & liste...

I believe there will be a point in our life that will define who we are. those points can be the time of hardship as well as the time of ease ior even a single short conversation with someone you recently know. That's one of the moment I experience today! الحمد لله رب العالمين  I spoke to a sister whom I knew recently and we share about the worry we have on how much time we invest to build our relationship with Allah while we also try to build the next generations (our children). Often, we (me specifically) miss to have the time to just sit and recite Quran as long as we want to, pray as khusyu' as we want to, contemplate on life without any distruction but she said one sentence that it's not the first time I heard but this time it just click and make sense more than ever before. "This is just a phase we have to go through sis, soon the kids will grow up and being independent then we can pick up on what we left off.  for the time being,  keep remind yourself that we ar...

10 September 2014 This is the day rumaysa khalifah born 2 years ago MashaAllah time flies and Alhamdulillah she is growing up well and she's full of life MashaAllah tabarakallah May Allah protects her and bless her with goodness of life and piety Amin  10 September 2014  It's also the first time my big girl starts reception class aka proper school with uniform etc MashaAllah! I was so nervous the night before. I might be too excited but worry at the same time. Excited because she will be in the school the whole 5 days from 8am to 2:30pm. Prior to this one she only went for 2 and a half days at Iman pre school which is literally next door. But now we have to travel around 25 minutes by car and the school time starts very early, well at least earlier than any normal state school.  الحمد لله رب العالمين she was generally exicited since she has meet the teacher twice before she even started. Once was on induction day and second time was when the teacher visited our house. ماش...

Few days ago when we just came back from out and about my 4 years and 10 months old daughter said to me (out of the blue):  "Wow mama, you're doing everything!" I asked: "What do you mean Nusaybah?" Well, you're a doctor (I don't know why she highlighted this role first- perhaps it's because I just put a bandage on her finger- and you're a driver, you're a cleaner, you're a cook, you're a book reader, you are everything.  Me:" Awww that's very sweet of you Nusaybah, jazakillah khair for those kind words" N:"no wonder you're tired all the time, because you're doing everything!" Me:" errmmmm yes maybe that's why" Children always speak the truth, in fact, when I read her bedtime story I often fall asleep before it's even finished and then I mumbled in Indonesian language. She would then laugh. The strange things: she seems enjoying that kind of situation so she usually str...

Nusaybah likes a story telling time. Often I am the one who give up due to the tiredness after long reading and answering all questions she is having related to the story we read it or I tell. One of her favourite story is the Prophet Adam's story Here are aome funny comments she made. I was telling her: "due to the mistake that prophet Adam a.s made, Allah sent him down to the earth. And from him and hawa born mankind including us.  We are the children of Adam or in Arabic is called BANI Adam" Nusaybah:"why prophet Adam become BUNNY (read: Bani) mama?" I didn't understand what she meant so I asked her: "what do you mean?" I didn't say he became "bunny" Nusaybah: "yes you did mama, you said we are BUNNY Adam" I was laughing out loud! Apparently she thought BANI as BUNNY  Well it sounds the same, no wonder she thought that way  --------------------- Another occasion is when Nusaybah suddenly asked me Nusaybah:" mama, do ...

Seperti Itu Dakwah.. (Alm Ust Rahmat Abdullah)   Memang seperti itu dakwah. Dakwah adalah cinta. Dan cinta akan meminta semuanya dari dirimu. Sampai pikiranmu. Sampai perhatianmu. Berjalan, duduk, dan tidurmu. Bahkan di tengah lelapmu, isi mimpimu pun tentang dakwah. Tentang umat yg kau cintai. Lagi-lagi memang seperti itu. Dakwah. Menyedot saripati energimu. Sampai tulang belulangmu. Sampai daging terakhir yg menempel di tubuh rentamu. Tubuh yg luluh lantak diseret-seret...  Tubuh yang hancur lebur dipaksa berlari. Seperti itu pula kejadiannya pada rambut Rasulullah. Beliau memang akan tua juga. Tapi kepalanya beruban karena beban berat dari ayat yg diturunkan Allah. Sebagaimana tubuh mulia Umar bin Abdul Aziz. Dia memimpin hanya sebentar. Tapi kaum muslimin sudah dibuat bingung. Tidak ada lagi orang miskin yg bisa diberi sedekah. Tubuh mulia itu terkoyak-koyak. Sulit membayangkan sekeras apa sang Khalifah bekerja. Tubuh yang segar bugar itu sampai rontok. Hanya dalam 2 tahun...

Conversation that makes me laugh out loud last night Me:"ouch, I am having a stomachache" Nusaybah:"why mama?" Me:"not sure, maybe it's because of the food I ate" Nusaybah:"what did you eat today?" Me:"well, I had toast for breakfast and ermmmmm... egg for dinner" Nusaybah:"ahhh now I know, why mama!" *She was beaming because she found the cause of it!* Me:"why?" Nusaybah:" it's because you eat egg that's why you got stomach-egg (read: stomachache)  😁😀😀😀😁 I can't stop laughing! she pronounced "stomachache" correctly though but I think she heard me saying "stomachache" sounded like "stomach-egg"#BlameTheMom

Nusaybah is always excited about numbers and she likes a bit mathematical qs 😜 perhaps it's because she is currently learning about it in nursery, she's starting to ask how old I'm and how old her baba is and commented:  "Wow, that's a lot of number mama!!  You and baba are very old" Ouch!!! but then she asked Nusaybah: "mama, how old are you then when I'm your age?" Me:"If Allah سبحانه و تعالى still give me life, I will be 68 years old!" N:"wooow!! And how old are you when I'm 68 then?" Me:"oh well, I will be more than 100 years old Nusaybah, why!? She didn't stop there "And how old are you when I'm 100 years old?" Me:" I won't be in this duniya I guess, wallahu 'alam"  N:"why mama?" Me:"because most likely I am dead by then, what it means, Allah takes me back to meet Him" N:"and go to Jannah?" Me:" ان شاءٓ الله, I pr...

Percakapanku dengan anak pertamaku (Nusaybah 4,5 tahun) - terjemahan dari bhs Inggris  N:"mama, kalau aku sudah seusia mama, apa aku harus punya anak juga?" M:"hmmm, ya tergantung, Nanti Allah ngasih nggak?, kalau Nusaybah mau dan Allah ngasih ya bisa punya anak" N:" aku ga mau punya anak!" M:"loh kenapa??" N:" aku ga mau dokter membuka perutku dan menjahit perutku, pasti kan sakit mama!" *sambil Berurai airmata beneran* M:" oh!!!" *meluk dia sambil garuk garuk kepala* ---- Lain waktu: Kami punya tetangga (nenek- usianya 70an) yang hidup Sendiri dan sering sakit, keluar masuk RS. Suatu hari Nusaybah melihat sang nenek ini di bawa oleh ambulan, beliau harus berjalan ke ambulan yang di parkir di pinggir jalan, pelan dan nampak kesakitan. Setelah kami masuk rumah dan setelah Nusaybah menyaksikan kejadian itu dia bertanya: "Mama, apakah aku juga tua nanti?" M:" tentu iya, semua orang mengalami ...

Adalah Umar bin Khattab yang layak ditiru dalam cara menghadapi musibah. Di dalam buku "Ketika Merasa Allah Tidak Adil" dicantumkan ihwal trik Umar bin Khattab bangkit dari musibah. Setiap kali ia mendapati musibah, sebanyak empat kali mengucapkan kata "hamdalah". Aneh, bukan? Sejatinya, inilah trik untuk bangkit dari musibah yang menghimpit diri. 1. Hamdalah pertama dimaknai oleh Umar bin Khattab sebagai rasa syukur bahwa Allah tidak menurunkan musibah yang lebih berat dan lebih dahsyat dari apa yang dialaminya. Hamdalah ini menunjukkan, ada sedikit cerita sedih yang awal terlintas di dalam diri Umar bin Khattab. Namun, rasa syukurnya jauh lebih lama bersamanya. Ia yakin, bahwa musibah yang dilaluinya sudah terjadi dan tidak mungkin diubah lagi. Jadi lebih baik bersyukur kepda Allah, karena dalam menghadipi musibah ini masih bisa tegar, masih bisa menghirup udara dan masih bisa meraih hidup yang bahagia. Musibah pasti akan berlalu seiring dengan waktu demi waktu ya...

Great people talk about ideas Average people talk about things Small people talk about wine - Fran Lebowitz - Kalau di terjemahkan ke dalam bahasa Indonesia kurang lebih artinya:  Orang hebat berbincang tentang ide Orang biasa berbincang tentang hal2 (keseharian) Orang rendahan berbincang tentang anggur (minuman keras) Makna tersirat dari ungkapan itu sebenarnya bertutur tentang jenis pemikiran kita dan ini di indikasikan melalui perilaku. Orang yang punya visi dan otaknya berisi (ga harus dengan jenjang pendidikan) maka mereka cenderung bicara tentang ide ide besar yang ingin mereka raih, termasuk ide untuk mengubah kehidupan dia dan orang di sekitarnya. Orang biasa adalah orang yang hanya berbicara tentang kehidupan pribadi mereka saja. Kita semua pasti punya teman yang "klik" alias cocok dimana kita bisa bertukar pikiran dan pendapat. Namun pastinya  kita juga memiliki teman yang hanya sekedar saling menyapa karena memang bahan perbincangan kita tidak pernah ketemu di satu...
