busy, no?

today n yesterday were a waste of my already-wasted life! (exaggerate a bit, ya?)
but prisma stuff kept me a bit busy. good thing.
speaking of prisma, im leaving my post soon... thinking about it makes me sad.. i wish i could have accomplished more, made students n teachers more happy, bla..bla..bla.. well, the point is, im still not satisfied with the achievements n changes that this session's team had successfully done! there are many rooms for improvement..many mistakes n drawbacks that need to be fixed...many things to be standardised n organized...bla..bla..bla.. n i dont think i've equipped the next 'generation' with enough knowledge n preparations to continue prisma's quest. but i do have faith that everything's gonna be ok.
back to my schedule...the exams are getting nearer..n im still not ready! other than that, i have to start on my text, but i haven't settled on a topic yet! *shivers*
i expect the june holidays to be a busy one for me...it looks like i have to draw a timetable every single day..*sigh*
anyway, tomorrow >> The White Paper. im not going to like it. im going to get angry, sad, regretful, disappointed et cetera, et cetera... but hey, what's done is done, i cant let those negative feelings get better of me.. i guess i'll try harder next time..
honestly, i dont think i would reach my goal, that is, to leave this school with a 'mumtaz syaraf'..seeing my results as it is right now, i know i dont have the chance, unless i pull myself up (or torture myself, as a desperate measure!) n really score my academic section for the first time..
ok people, i'll stop here. so much for my confessions ya? by the way, did i tell you that im sick in the head n the heart?

O Women Of Islam..!

the email below was sent by bro salaf.


A CALL FROM THE MASJID UL HARAM TO THE MUSLIM WOMEN OF THE WORLD!
(From Makkah)
SHEIKH ABDUL RAHMAN AL SUDAIS.


All praise is due to Allaah, May peace and blessing be upon Muhammed (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) and his house hold...

My Muslim sisters, you will never be able to reach the perfection that you desire, you wont be able to regain the lost glory of your past, or achieve your highest rank and position unless you follow the teachings of Islaam and unless you stop at the boundaries and limits of the Shariah. This will make your heart love and appreciate the good qualities and will keep you away from bad and evil qualities.

SO STAY AT YOUR HOMES. By Allaah you will be praised, you will please your household and make your home happy, you will perfect your hijab, you will perfect your chastity, relieve others and you will make yourself happy and comfortable.

Allaah says : " Oh Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters, and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks all over their bodies. That will be better, that they should be known (as free respectable women) so as not to be annoyed. And Allah is ever oft-forgiving, Most Merciful." (Surah AL-Ahzab )

So with Islaam you are a protected jewel, but without it you are a doll in the hands of the wrongdoers; a mere object of amusement and merchandise of trade in the hands of human wolves who will destroy your chastity, your honour and your dignity, and then throw you and disregard you as one does with a date fruit and its seed.

So whenever a woman abandons the teachings of Islaam and neglects the proper Islaamic dress and takes easy the matter of hijab, exposing herself to men (by) walking among them and wearing perfume, her dignity and honour vanishes and her brightness disappears, and her modesty dwindles and she becomes a source of fitnah (temptation and trial) for others and the `evils` embrace her.

Therefore, oh Muslims woman, who cherishes and holds unto the honour of Islaam (and is proud of the honour of Islaam) and Oh Free, honourable chaste, and protected woman, you are the best successor of the best past generation of the Muslims. Hold fast unto the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammed (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam).

Beware of the hands of the wicked plotters and the jealous eyes, and people with bad character and evil souls, who want to lower you from the highness of your esteemed position and dignity, and lower you from your glory of higher rank, and take you out from the circle of your happiness.

And beware of the deception and defeat before the open war between hijab and sufoor (revealing beauty), and between chastity and liberalism.

The enemies of Islaam among the Jews and their followers are upset and sleepless over the fact that the Muslim woman is honourable, dignified and protected, so they put her under the spotlight, trap her in nets and shoot with their arrows. Moreover it is strange that some people from our skin and who speak our language follow them and spread their ideas and fulfill their aims and wage in intellectual and cultural war against our Muslims sisters, who are the moisture of our faces, through the alluring and deceiving slogans and charming articles here and there.

Thus they falsely and deceivingly call to her freedom of the women and ask, and push, her to work, to coming out of her home. They spread rumors about Muslim women saying:


"...The conservative Muslim society (the real one indeed, The Muslim society can only be conservative) is that which half of it does nothing and breathes only from one lung" and "how can a Muslim woman stay prisoner at home between four walls" and other misleading slogans.

They want freedom for the women, but in reality they want to free her from her character and etiquette and to strip her from her principles, dignity and honour, and lead her into evil and corruption. They want her to be a fashion model and an item for sale to the naive and simple minded (assuthajj wal busataa).

Who is then left to the well being of homes, to the happiness of family, to raise and educate children?

How many young women get trapped and how much tragedy happens when the hijab is destroyed and the jilbab (outer garment) is taken off and the `wolves` (wicked men) devour the women? such is as a result of sufoor and mingling with men in jobs, schools, and market places.

Isn't it enough reminder what societies, who did not practice the teaching of Islam, fell into in terms of indecency, evils and disappearance in values when they neglected and ignored the matter of the woman? As a result of that there are now repeated calls in these societies asking for the return of a woman to her protected fort; her home.

Would any man with the slightest bit of honour and manhood be content to see his wife become a `pasturage` of the eyes of wicked men and to become ` a serving on the dining table`? the current condition of some societies is a witness that when a woman goes out of her home, it is a sign of destruction, loss, corruption, and spread of mischief and indecency in society.

Therefore to all our Muslim Sister in the east and in the west of the Muslim world, I call upon you from this Holy and Pure land , Makkah, to hold fast to the Qura'an and to bite unto the Sunnah of the Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) with the front teeth and to follow the teachings of Islaam and its etiquette.

And to the women organizations all over the world, beware of the stupidity and bad results of the disobedience of the women to the guidance of Islam. Beware of being tempted by the flashing slogans and poisoned publicity against the character of the woman and her principles.

And to the responsible people for the Muslim child in her education and care, I call upon you to fear Allaah subhana wa ta'ala and to fulfill your duty towards her while taking care of her belief, educational and ethical aspects.

A clear limit and divider must be set against indecency, wicked movies and naked pictures that destroy honour and virtue and that develop dayathaa (absence of honor and manhood to the point where a man does not care about the females of his family in terms of what other men may do with them) and indecency.

As to the guardians of women, fathers and husbands, i remind them of their qawaamah (protection and maintenance) of women according to what Allah subhana wa ta'ala said:


"Men are the protectors and maintainers of women because Allaah has made one of them excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient (to Allaah and to their husbands), and guard in their husbands absence what Allaah orders them to guard. As to those women on whose part you will see ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (next), refuse to share their beds, (and last) beat them (lightly, if it is useful), but if they return to obedience seek not against them means (of annoyance) Surely Allaah is ever Most High, Most Great." (Surah An-Nisa)

So they have to fear Allaah and save themselves and their children from punishment of Allaah by raising and educating them according to the teachings of Islam, and they should be warned from being loose and neglectful in this matter. I call on their honour towards their women and their manhood in order to preserve the honour and to protect their mahram women, in addition to protecting their values, principles and characters.

So, O wise people, take a lesson, and be aware and don't be deceived for the successful is one who is reminded through the mistakes of others, and know that the ummah has reached this sad state and crisis only after it was hit in its system of life and when it neglected the appropriate education and upbringing of its women. And remember that the trustworthy and the trusted Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam) said:


"I haven't left behind me a fitnah more harmful to men than women (when they go astray from the guidance of Islam)" - Bukhari and Muslim.

I'm A Free Man!

well, it's not entirely true.
literally speaking,im not a slave, of course..
but, i AM a slave of..time? my destiny? myself?

huh? what are you talking about, liyana???
dont mind me, people..im not making any sense!

anyway, today's the last day of the mid-year examinations at madrasah alsagoff al-arabiah...so that's why i said im a free man..

however, no 'hOoOray!' for me..one thing is that, today's papers were quite a bad ending for me. :( adab n balaghah >> i lost 15 marks, more or less... *isk~isk~*
seriously, i felt like crying or scolding myself loudly just now, but i kept my cool..then there was english >> i checked the answers (from my classmate's assessment book), n calculated that i may get 27/50, or less; what's for sure is that my chance of failing english for the first time is 80%!

ok, as i said, i cant go n enjoy myself..coz what's lying ahead is much more scarier n attention-demanding..im going to have 2 other exams this june..plus SA2 (not so far away, girls!) plus O LEVEL!!! n mayb, there are other activities that i might have to take part..*HUGE SIGH*

december seems far far away...i cant wait to finally be able to really relax myself n enjoy n waste my time without feeling guilty :)

Cinta hadir menguntum rindu....

i found this poem from sis Nad's blog... it's really really nice :)

Cinta hadir menguntum rindu
Mekar mewangi di taman kalbu
Tulus kasihku tak siapa yang tahu
Melainkan Dia Tuhanku yang Satu

Huluran kasihmu kusambut pasrah
Walau tak pernah bertentang mata
Apatah lagi bersua muka
Hanya bait kata di alam siber
Di hujung talian kudengar suara
Melalui dua penghubung itu lahir sebuah rasa
Dimana...
Suara hati penuh keikhlasan sahaja mampu berbicara.

Akhirnya,
Aku resah...terlalu gelisah
Ketahuilah kasih
Aku sering bertanya di dalam diri
Untuk apa cinta itu hadir pada diri
Dua insan ajnabi?!
Kerana...
ku bimbang cinta ini mengundang dosa
Ku khuatir kasih ini melalaikan kita
Lalu kita hanyut dari sentiasa mengingati yang Esa
Lantaran rindu yang sering mendesah di dalam jiwa.

Bisikan syaitan tidak lekang menggoda
Membuaikan kita di dalam asyik dunia cinta
Sekilas kuteringatkan ayat di dalam surah Ali Imran
'Wallazina amanu ashaddu hubban lillahi'-'dan orang-orang yg beriman teramat cintanya kepada Allah'
Astaghfirullah...
Aku tersedar dari buaian rasa!

Hampir setiap hari kita berhubung
Apa salahnya kita sendiri yang meletakkan batasan
Agar cinta dan rindu kita lebih terserlah keindahan dan keihklasan
Kerana terdapat 'mujahadah' sebagai hiasan dan amalan
Disitulah bermulanya jihad hati
Menguji keimanan dan keihklasan diri kita yang saling mengasihi.

Bukan kerana tidak tahu menghargai kasih mu
Percayalah, pada bicara kasihku ini
Ini bukti penghargaan.
Apa gunanya kita saling menyayangi
Tapi hanyut di lautan cinta yang tidak diredhai
Diri ini ingin menjadi penawar hati
Justeru itu,
diri ini bimbang menjadi punca kelalaian hatimu dari mengingati Ilahi.
Jangan biarkan semua itu berlaku, kasih
Rindu dan kasih adalah sebuah 'rasa' yang terletak di dalam 'hati'
Maka usah diikutkan rasa - kelak kita akan binasa!
Usah diturutkan kehendak hati - kelak kita akan mati!

'Nur Kasih'mu...sungguh istimewa
semaikan ia dengan iman, ilmu, amal, dan taqwa
agar ikatan kasih kita bukan sahaja berasaskan cinta semata,
tapi disertai mawaddah, rahmah dan amanah

Ketahuilah,
kasihku padamu... hanya kerana-Nya jua.

[afy_ittihad] Rohaniyyat: Tips Muhasabah Diri

an email from NI MATUL HAZIQAH

1.Senyum itu tanda kemesraan, diberi kepada manusia dianggap sedekah.
Ketawa itu lambang kelalaian. Selalu dilakukan hati akan mati. Dibuat
di hadapan manusia menghilangkan maruah diri.

2. Setiap kesalahan yang dilakukan jadikanlah pengajaran, insaflah ini
tanda kelemahan diri, kesalilah keterlanjuran itu dan
berazamlah tidak mengulanginya lagi.

3. Syukur nikmat dan sabar di dalam ujian amat mudah diucapkan tetapi
amat sulit dilaksanakan.

4. Kesenangan dan kemewahan selalunya membawa kepada kesombongan dan
kelalaian. Kesusahan dan penderitaan itu, selalunya membawa kekecewaan
dan putus asa, kecuali orang yang mukmin.

5. Di antara tanda-tanda orang-orang yang sombong itu cepat melahirkan
sifat marah, suka memotong percakapan orang, suka bermujadalah yakni
bertegang leher, nampak di mukanya rasa tidak senang jika ada orang
yang lebih darinya di satu majlis, bercakap meninggikan suara, pantang
ditegur, tidak ada tanda-tanda kesal di atas kesalahan.

6. Orang yang sudah hilang sifat marah (dayus), cepat melahirkan sifat
marah (lemah mujahadah). Orang yang ada sifat marah tapi dapat
disembunyikan kecuali di tempat-tempat yang munasabah inilah
manusia normal.

7. Tahu diri kita hamba itu adalah ilmu, merasa diri kita itu hamba
itu penghayatan, yang kedua inilah akan lahir sifat tawaduk, malu,
khusyuk, takut, hina dan lain-lain lagi sifat kehambaan.

8. Jika kita mengingati dosa, kita tidak nampak lagi kebaikan kita,
apatah lagi untuk dibanggakan.

9. Lahirkan kemesraan kita sesama manusia kerana itu adalah haknya
tapi jangan putus hati kita dengan ALLAH, ini adalah hakNYA pula.

10.Apabila rasa senang dengan pujian, rasa sakit dengan kehinaan
menunjukkan kita ada kepentingan peribadi, tanda kita tidak ikhlas
membuat kebaikan.
