Ramadhan, perkataan yang tersirat....

just read this from a blog...very interesting....

Ra – Mim – Dhod – Alif – Nun

Tersirat daripada perkataan huruf RA-MA-D-A-N



Ra – adalah Rahmah

Bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan rahmah. Didalamnya dilimpahi dengan pelbagai kerahmatan dan kenikmatan yang tidak terhitung untuk hamba-hamba Allah SWT dan seluruh manusia.

Mim – adalah Maghfirah ( Keampunan)

Bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan keampunan. Allah SWT membuka ruang dan pintu keampunan seluas-luasnya bagi hambaNya yang memohon keampunan serta menginsafi diri di setiap detik di dalam bulan Ramadhan.

Dari Abu Hurairah telah bersabda Rasulullah SAW yang bermaksud :

“ Sesiapa yang berpuasa di bulan Ramadhan berdasarkan iman dan penuh kesedaran mengharapkan Allah maka diampuni dosa-dosa yang terdahulu sebagaimana hari dilahirkan oleh ibunya.” ( HR Ibnu Khuzaimah)



Dhod – adalah Dhoman ( Jaminan)

Bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan yang diberikan jaminan oleh Allah SWT sebagai bulan yang akan memberikan seribu kebaikan dan ganjaran Syurga bagi sesiapa yang menggunakan kesempatan ini dengan sebaiknya. Jaminan ini adalah jaminan yang tiada tandingannya berbanding bulan-bulan yang lain.

Alif – adalah Amana

Bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan keamanan, ketenangan dan kebahagiaan. Hati dan jiwa kita benar-benar tenang dengan kehadiran dan perasaan nyaman serta tenteram selalu menyelubungi sanubari kita sepanjang berada di dalam bulan yang penuh keberkatan ini. Inilah kehebatan dan keunikan Ramadhan.

Nun – adalah Nur

Bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan yang sentiasa dilimpahi dengan cahaya hidayah dan keimanan daripada Allah SWT. Bagi yang mencintai dan merindui kehadiran bulan yang penuh kerahmatan ini, akan menyedarikan bahawa sinar Ramadhan adalah sinar yang terang benderang memberi pengharapan dan kekuatan kepada jiwa untuk berusaha bersungguh-sungguh bagi melahirkan seorang mukmin muslim yang bertaqwa dalam erti kata yang sebenarnya.

Firman Allah SWT yang bermaksud :

“ Pada bulan Ramadhan diturunkan kitab suci Al-Quran sebagai petunjuk bagi manusia dan penjelasan-penjelasan mengenai petunjuk itu, dan garis pemisah antara hak dan yang batil.” [ Al- Baqarah (2) : 185]



Jika bulan Ramadhan datang, Rasulullah SAW biasanya menyambut dengan ucapan :

“ Selamat Datang Wahai orang yang menyucikan.”

Para sahabat bertanya :

“ Siapakah orang yang menyucikan itu wahai Rasulullah ?”

Baginda menjawab :

“ Orang yang menyucikan itu ialah bulan Ramadhan. Ia menyucikan kita daripada segala dosa dan maksiat!.”

last minute solah

He remembered his grandmother' s warning about praying on time:

'My son, you shouldn't leave prayer to this late time'.

His grandmother' s age was 70 but, whenever she heard the Adhan, she got up like an arrow and performed the Solat.

He, however could never win over his ego to get up and pray.

Whatever he did, his Solat was always the last to be offered and he prayed it quickly to get it in on time.

Thinking of this, he got up and realized that there were only 15 minutes left before Salat-ul Isha'.

He quickly made Wudhu and performed Salat-ul Maghrib.

While making Tasbih, he again remembered his grandmother and was embarrassed by how he had prayed.

His grandmother prayed with such tranquillity and peace.

He began making Dua and went down to make Sajdah and stayed like that for a while.

He had been at work all day and was tired, very tired.

He awoke abruptly to the sound of noise and shouting.

He was sweating profusely. He looked around. It was very crowded.

Every direction he looked in was filled with people.

Some stood frozen looking around, some were running left and right and some were on their knees with their heads in their hands just waiting.

Pure fear and apprehension filled him as he realized where he was. His heart was about to burst.

It was the Day of Judgment.

When he was alive, he had heard many things about the questioning on the Day of Judgment, but that seemed so long ago.

Could this be something his mind made up?

No, the wait and the fear were so great that he could not have imagined this.

The interrogation was still going on.

He began moving frantically from people to people to ask if his name had been called. No one could answer him.

All of a sudden his name was called and the crowd split into two and made a passageway for him.

Two angels grabbed his arms and led him forward. He walked with unknowing eyes through the crowd. The angels brought him to the centre and left him there.

His head was bent down and his whole life was passing in front of his eyes like a movie.

He opened his eyes but saw only another world.

The people were all helping others.

He saw his father running from one lecture to the other, spending his wealth in the way of Islam.

His mother invited guests to their house and one table was being set while the other was being cleared.

He pleaded his case, 'I too was always on this path. I helped others. I spread the word of Allah. I performed my Salah. I fasted in the month of Ramadhan.'

'Whatever Allah ordered us to do, I did.'

'Whatever he ordered us not to do, I did not.'

He began to cry and think about how much he loved Allah.

He knew that whatever he had done in life would be less than what Allah deserved and his only protector was Allah He was sweating like never before and was shaking all over.

His eyes were fixed on the scale, waiting for the final decision. At last, the decision was made.

The two angels with sheets of paper in their hands, turned to the crowd.

His legs felt like they were going to collapse. He closed his eyes as they began

To read the names of those people who were to enter Jahannam.

His name was read first.

He fell on his knees and yelled that this couldn't be,

'How could I go to Jahannam? I served others all my life, I spread the word of Allah

to others.'

His eyes had become blurry and he was shaking with sweat.

The two angels took him by the arms.

As his feet dragged, they went through the crowd and advanced toward

the blazing flames of Jahannam.

He was yelling and wondered if there was any person who was going to help him.

He was yelling of all the good deeds he had done, how he had helped his father, his fasts, prayers, the Noble Qur'an that he read, he was asking if none of them would help him.

The Jahannam angels continued to drag him.

They had gotten closer to the Hellfire.

He looked back and these were his last pleas.

Had not Rasulullah [PBUH] said, 'How clean would a person be who bathes in a river five times a day, so too does the Salah performed five times cleanse someone of their sins?'

He began yelling, 'My prayers? My prayers? My prayers?'

The two angels did not stop, and they came to the edge of the abyss of Jahannam.

The flames of the fire were burning his face.

He looked back one last time, but his eyes were dry of hope and he had nothing left in him.

One of the angels pushed him in.

He found himself in the air and falling towards the flames.

He had just fallen five or six feet when a hand grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back.

He lifted his head and saw an old man with a long white beard.

He wiped some dust off himself and asked him, 'Who are you?'

The old man replied, 'I am your prayers.'

'Why are you so late?! I was almost in the Fire! You rescued me at the

last minute before I fell in.'

The old man smiled and shook his head, 'You always performed me at the

last minute, did you forget?'

At that instant, he blinked and lifted his head from Sajdah. He was in a sweat. He listened to the voices coming from outside.

He heard the Adhan for Salat-ul Isha.

He got up quickly and went to perform Wudhu.

Pass this on to your friends and family......

Maybe, you can help someone open their eyes.

And who knows?

Maybe, this is a good deed that can help you during The Day of Judgment. INSHA-ALLAH

the day my mom is sent to the world...

If I could give you diamonds
for each tear you cried for me.
If I could give you sapphires
for each truth you’ve helped me see.
If I could give you rubies
for the heartache that you’ve known
If I could give you pearls
for the wisdom that you’ve shown.
Then you’ll have a treasure, mother,
that would mount up to the skies
That would almost match
the sparkle in your kind and loving eyes.
But I have no pearls, no diamonds,
As I’m sure you’re well aware
So I’ll give you gifts more precious
My devotion, love and care.

I LOVE YOU MOM!!
Ya Allah, thank you for sending such a wonderful mother to me....
Please bless her with all the happiness each and everyday in this life and the hereafter, Ya Rabb.
For she is the person who makes me feel like I'm always blessed and happy.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAK!!!

thank you.....

Thank you for always being there
and knowing just what to do
Thank you for knowing the words to say
when I'm feeling way beyond blue

Thank you for patiently listening
to all my worries and stresses
Thank you for caring enough
to get me out of all my messes

Thank you for being a phone call away
or around the corner to run to
Thank you for your door always being open
and knowing just what to do

Thank you for being my constant support
when i didn't think I could cope
Thank you for lifting my spirits
and letting me know there is hope

Thank you for being the best parents
a daughter could ever wish for
I love you with all my heart
today and forever more.


As I look back on my life
I find myself wondering...
Did I remember to thank you
for all that you have done for me?

For all of the times you were by my side
to help me celebrate my successes
and accept my defeats?

Or for teaching me the value of hard work,
good judgement, courage, and honesty?

I wonder if I've ever thanked you
for the simple things...
The laughter, smiles, and quiet times we've shared?

If I have forgotten to express my gratitude
For any of these things,
I am thanking you now...
and I am hoping that you've known all along,
how very much you are loved and appreciated


THANK YOU MAK & ABAH!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!

My Abah.....

In a time when fathers are totally absent,
gone most of the time,
or physically present but mentally distracted,
you are there for me—
looking at me, listening to me

understanding me, talking with me.
You make time for me
even when it’s inconvenient for you.
You make me feel important to you.

I learn from you when you teach me,
when I watch you do things,
and when I observe you
just being you—a terrific father.

Every affectionate smile you give me,
every pat on the back, every hug
shows me you love me,

that you’re proud of me.

These are things I’ll remember
to do for my own kids.
You’re a great role model, ABAH.
I want to be just like you.




ABAH is a person
who is loving and kind,
And often he knows
what you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens,
suggests, and defends.

ABAH can be one of your very best friends!
He's proud of your triumphs,
but when things go wrong,
ABAH can be patient and helpful and strong
In all that you do,
ABAH
's love plays a part.

There's always a place for him
deep in your heart.
And each year that passes,
you're even more glad,

More grateful and proud
just to call him your ABAH!
Thank you, ABAH...

for listening and caring,

for giving and sharing,
but, especially, for just being you!

Allah The Most Gracious....

Rasulullah SAW said: "Ask and you shall be given it; and you shall be given it." [At-Tarmidzi]

Rasulullah SAW said: "Let everyone of you ask of His Lord all that he wants." [At-Tarmidzi]

We were informed by our beloved Prophet SAW that Allah SWT fulfills everybody's wishes so long as a perso does not get impatient and say, " I asked Allah for so and so and I still haven't received it." We are told never to despair of the mercy of Allah SWT. Remember Maher Zain's InshaAllah??

Don't despair and never lose hope, cause Allah is always by your side.....

Rasulullah SAW informed us that there are several forms for the acceptance of doa.

1) You are given what you ask

2) You are given better than what you asked for

3) Some calamity that was about to befall you has been averted instead

4) The doa is saved up for you as a reward for The Day of Judgement.

If you think of it from all these different forms, there's never a time when asking Allah SWT for thing is not beneficial. It is a form of blessing on its own special way. So what are you waiting for? Keep the prayers going on throughout the day for Allah loves to hear the voice of His servants asking Him for help.


"Dan apabila hamba-hambaKu bertanya kepadamu tentang Aku, maka (jawablah), bahawasanya Aku adalah dekat. Aku mengabulkan permohonan orang yang berdoa apabila ia memohon kepadaKu, maka hendaklah mereka itu memenuhi (segala perintah) Ku dan hendaklah mereka beriman kepadaKu, agar mereka selalu berada dalam kebenaran" -Al-Baqarah [2:186]-

don't be sad....

Allah always has a way to cheer and comfort His servants. Being in PMS for the past week and so stressed out with all sorts of assignments, really adds up to the pressure of performing my best in GP placement. But despite some of the disappointments that I have about how I am doing during GP, Allah sent me a patient who is very pleasant to deal with. His name is Mr. Pleasant. Ironic isn't it?? I would say he is the nicest patient I met since I ever started studying medicine. Thank you Allah. At one moment, I was wondering why did I ever take medicine in the first place. But by sending this particular patient, Allah really had showed me that I really want to do my best in medicine and be a great doctor for which I hope can one day help the Islamic ummah the best way I could. Ya Allah, with all the blessings You have bestowed upon me, how can I not be grateful?? Please guide me to the right path Ya Allah so that everything I intend to do is always with You being the first to be in my mind. True enough, Allah has showed me again and again without fail, for those who believe, you don't have to be sad or afraid.

"Bahkan barangsiapa yang menyerahkan diri kepada Allah, sedang ia berbuat kebajikan, maka baginya pahala di sisi Tuhannya dan tidak ada kekhuatiran terhadap mereka dan tidak pula mereka bersedih hati" -Al-Baqarah [2:112]-

lesson of the day....

Rasulullah SAW said: "Whoever does not argue when he is in the wrong will have a home built for him on the edge of Paradise. Whoever avoids it when he is in the right will have a home built for him in the middle of Paradise. And whoever improves his own character, a home will be built for him in the highest part of Paradise" [At-Tarmidzi]

Arguing with people is strongly discouraged in Islam. We are to state our point of view and then leave it at that. Nor are we to involve ourselves in matters that do not affect a person's deen. Note that a person is to shun argument whether he is in the right or whether his stand is wrong. Both get houses built for them in Paradise. But since the person who knows that he is right finds it more difficult to leave the argument and let things be, he/she is promised a greater reward.

Arguing with people rarely gets anyone to change their minds. It usually only produces defensiveness and creates ill feelings between people. The issue becomes a matter of one's ego and makes it more difficult for a person to change their stance. Allah SWT loves to have Muslims live harmoniously with each other.

This is a reminder for myself who tend to get so heated up to argue especially when I'm super positive that I am right. I hope that everyone especially myself always have this hadis in mind whenever you are ever thinking about arguing. Isn't Islam beautiful?

ayat cinta Allah to me....

".....Sesungguhnya Allah menyesatkan siapa yang Dia kehendaki dan memberi petunjuk orang yang bertaubat kepadaNya. Iaitu orang-orang yang beriman dan hati mereka menjadi tenteram dengan mengingati Allah. Ingatlah, hanya dengan mengingati Allah hati menjadi tenteram"

Ar-Radh [13: 27-28]

These few weeks was really stressful for me. Not really sure why. Maybe since GP placement has started. Going to the placement just made me wonder whether I am taking the right path towards a career that I really want. 3rd year up to this point has been really overwhelming. I guess it is partly because now I feel like it's the real thing now. Its no longer studying for exams. I really need to study hard because it's human lives I'm dealing with. Not just pieces of papers and stimulated patients at the end of the semester. With my GP never failing to continuously ask me questions, and being me who can't recall most of the things that I have already learnt is really frustrating. But to think back, maybe it is a good thing. At least, he made me stressed enough to push me to study. But yeah, the end result is that I'm really stressed out thinking that that is all I have to do now with my time. STUDY. STUDY. and more STUDYing.
From all these stressful situations, I may have moved myself away from Allah. I did less solat sunat and less Quran reading just because I need more time to study. As if, the time was really used for studying anyway. I'm still lazy to study (not that lazy that I don't study at all of course). I still sleep early and wake up late in the morning. Even if I do sleep late at night, it was never because I was studying. It's either Facebook-ing or watching korean drama. I even added extra activities such as learning korean and playing the keyboard thinking that I must have other non-medical stuff to do because I easily get bored from studying. Instead I did more of the non-medical stuff. So much of rewarding/bribing myself into studying.
But then, today, while I was studying with my friends, I realized that they really know lots of medical stuff that I didn't even ring any bell in my brain. Coming back home, my housemate was telling me her experience in her GP placement and her achievement to answer a difficult question by the GP and having the experience to do a medical procedure (not a major one of course, we might be sued!!). I got really stressed out especially with the additional eye pain I'm having. (such irony of having eye pain on m ophthalmology week..haha). So while taking my shower, I cried my eyes out or should I say medically that I had an epiphora episode. Then I performed my prayers and read the Quran.

I have to say, ALHAMDULILLAH, ALHAMDULILLAH, ALHAMDULILLAH. Somehow Allah made me want to read the Quran today and pray the solat sunat. It was when I was reading the Quran that I cam across the verse as stated above. "The heart can only be peaceful by remembering Allah". Those words really struck my heart. My heart haven't landed in a peaceful state these past few weeks. And seriously, just by reading these words, that I my heart found its peace. I know, I know. The words didn't solve my problem of needing to study. Its not like after reading those words, all the medical knowledge in the world is magically bluetooth/downloaded into my brain. I know. But they somehow successfully comforted my struggling heart. The power of the Quran I must say. I have no doubt at all. Allah is The Greatest indeed!!! No human in this world can ever comfort my heart with just a sentence. Reading between the lines of the verse, I see that all I can do is putting my best effort and leave the rest to Allah. Allah is The Biggest Planner. He knows everything. The first thing I have to do is of course to change my attitude from laziness to hardworking-ness. The rest is up to Allah. Whatever He has planned is the best for me. I put my full trust in Allah.


Such long babbling. Hahahahaha....Actually, the take home message from my story is that I advice anyone out there whose heart is not at peace, just REMEMBER ALLAH....it's just as simple as that.....whenever you feel troubled, just open the Quran and read a page or two...insyaAllah, Allah's words are all you need to comfort your heart. It might even solve the problem. Allah is The Greatest. So why trust anyone else but HIM???
