Menjelang Oktober 2014.. 

Dah mula letak deadline untuk banyak perkara, antaranya...

1) Tugasan kerja di pejabat

2) Tutup akaun Cawangan

3) Perbelanjaan peruntukan Cawangan

4) Perpindahan ke pejabat baru (T T)

5) Akad Nikah & Walimah...

Allah..Allah...

Ada masanya, rasa penat urus itu dan ini, di kala kekurangan staf di pejabat

Ditambah persiapan diri yang bakal bertukar status tak lama lagi InsyAllah...

Tapi, rasa serabut ini tak boleh dibiarkan lama-lama..

Perlu cepat-cepat pujuk diri "InsyAllah, saya kan ada Allah, Allah kan...ada, jangan takut, Allah sentiasa ada"

Dan yang paling penting juga, Alhamdulillah, syukur...banyak yang Allah telah beri...

Dengar lagu  Najwa Latif, tajuk 'Adamu' di ikim tadi, rasa seolah-olah Allah jawab on the spot 'rasa penat' di hati ni...

Alhamdulillah....

AdaMu

Merenung ke luar jendela

Melihat kebesaranNya

Mensyukuri segala nikmat

Yang dikurniakan di dunia

Kau berikanku kekuatan

Tuk berpegang pada jalan

Walau penuh dengan cabaran

Ku tahu ku adaMu Tuhan

Kerna kau yang satu

Yang setia bersamaku

Dikalaku jatuhku bangkit kernaMu

Ku tahuku adaMu disisiku selalu

Bantulah hambaMu mencari keredhaanMu

Ku tahuku adaMu

Ku adaMu selalu

Merenung ke luar jendela

Melihat kebesarannya

Walau penuh dengan cabaran

Ku tahuku adaMu Tuhan

– Najwa Latif

Beautiful reminder.. from Ustadh Nouman Ali Khan.

Allah (swt) mentions RAMADHAN only ONCE in the Qur'an.

For Muslims all over the world we always think about fasting when we think of Ramadhan.

However note that Allah did not introduce Ramadhan with fasting. 

So what did Allah say?

Al Baqarah Aaya 185:

Ramadan is the (month) in which the Quran was sent down, as a guide to mankind and a clear guidance and judgment (so that mankind will distinguish from right and wrong).."

Allah INTRODUCED Ramadhan with the QUR'AN instead. 

-The month of Ramadhan is in fact when the Qur'an was sent down. 

-Hence the FIRST thing we have to think about when it comes to Ramadhan is the QUR'AN. 

- Muslims know that Ramadhan is a time to get closer to Allah,  time to make a lot of doa,  to give up on sins,  to make istighfar. We have to do a little extra,  go to the masjid,  when before we do not go.

But what is actually the KEY to getting closer to Allah? 

- it is the QUR'AN 

- to fulfil the purpose of Ramadhan, this month has to be about the Qur'an for all of us. 

- treat it like we never had a relationship with the Qur'an before,  like we are starting all over again.

WHY OVER AGAIN?

Answer is back in Aaya 185 of Al Baqarah :

Al Baqarah is a Madani surah,  which means it came down when Rasululah SAW and the Muslims have made the Hijrah to Madinah. They have been Muslims for a long time and by then they already know Quran is guidance for humanity.  But when Allah introduces Ramadhan in Al Baqarah 185, Allah also re introduce the Qur'an - saying the Qur'an is guidance for people - which the Muslims and companions already know at that time.

The Lesson from this: 

When Allah RE INTRODUCE us to the Qur'an in that aaya,  it's almost like Allah SWT wants us to to start all over again. 

-Start reading and studying the Qur'an. 

-Start reflecting and thinking about the Qur'an in this month of Ramadhan like we have never read it before. 

-Like it's the first time!

This is BEAUTIFUL.  Why?

-If we did fulfill the rites of Ramadhan,  what Allah expects of us,  Rasulullah has said that all our previous sins will be forgiven. We get a new start. This new start will come from us making a new start in our life in Ramadhan,  and a new start with the Qur'an 

May Allah keeps us strong and steadfast in studying the Qur'an this Ramadhan and beyond. May Allah gives us clarity of mind and heart to understand it.  May Allah grant us wisdom to apply the knowledge from it and to teach it to others. Ameen.

Mood berjalan laju menikmati Ramadhan kali ini. Mudah-mudahan minggu hadapan dapat berlari dan terus memecut laju                                                                             

5 Ramadhan 1435H

Dalam Sujud Cintaku

Kau berikanku segala-galanya

dan Kau mengujiku dengan cinta dunia yang sungguh indah dan

Kau hiaskannya dengan intan permata dengan jua wanita 

dan kedudukan yang memalingkanku daripada-Mu

Dalam menikmati kurniaan-Mu

tak terucap lafaz terima kasihku

namun untuk jadi yang terbaik

juga masih belum kumampu

Dalam sujud cintaku

fanaku diulit rindu

getirnya cemas di kalbu

takut hidup tanpa redha-Mu

Hanya kerna-Mu Tuhanku

aku hidup dan ku akan

kembali pada-Mu

hanya pada-Mu dalam sujud cintaku.
