Twins Of Faith 2013, The Sunnah The Better

With regard to Sheikh Tawfique Chowdhury's (founder and chairman, Mercy Mission) reminder to spread the knowledge I gained from Twins of Faith 2013, here's my short article. (oh well, its not really an article. let's just pretend it to be some sort of my diary, ok!) (^_~)

Alhamdulillah..

It is indeed a blessing from Allah because I was chosen by Him to attend Twins of Faith 2013 (TOF2013) despite all difficulties I experienced. I still remember that I almost decided to leave behind this event because I need to attend another program in my university. Additionally, the next day after TOF2013, I was supposed to sit for Islamic Studies' mid semester examination. But Alhamdulillah, the date has been postponed. So, there I go. :)

First and foremost, thank you soo much to my dearest parents because they are the one who allow me to attend twins of faith. I know they trust upon my well-being here in Putrajaya. Then, I would like to thank my dear friend, Aishah, for she has been my lovely companion throughout the event in Putrajaya International Convention Center (PICC). Not to be forgotten, Aliff, Syahir and Aiman.

Aliff, Aiman, Syahir and friends

To be truthful, I don't actually know how exactly should I express my feelings upon TOF2013. It was such a great blessing, that I felt the most contentment during the whole day when I was attending the lectures.

It was the first time in my life I had felt the feeling of happiness when Muslims of different nations gathered together in order to seek knowledge in Islam. Why do I say different nations? It is because there were also Muslim brothers and sisters who came from Singapore, Indonesia, UK, Africa, the Arab countries and perhaps also from other countries that I have not mentioned here. Despite the differences we have (be it languages, cultures and educational backgrounds), we still greet Salaams and smile to each other. This is the beauty of brotherhood in Islam that Rasulullah s.a.w had taught us from his Sunnah. Then i wonder, "If this was the scenario in Malaysia, it must be greater in Mecca or Medina when we perform umrah & Hajj!"

By seeing and listening to the scholars who gave the lectures in TOF2013, I could not restrain myself but to feel such a great amazement towards them. I wish I could be like them. They excel in their careers in dunya such as doctor, engineer, businessman, and artist. But at the very same time, they do experts in Islamic knowledge as well! Mashaallah! These are the pearls that we need to follow as an example in our life.

Sheikh Sajid Umar

Being there, I somehow feels that I need to contribute something too for the ummah. In the future (when i graduate as a medical doctor) Inshaallah! Let us together put an effort! Each of us! There must be something we can do. Even if it is minor to the eyes of people, but if we do it with full of ikhlas and sincerity, Inshaallah we will gain reward from Him. ;)

Before I end my writings, I would like to spread the word to all Malaysian's Muslims Professional about Mercy Mission. Please click the link here Mercy Mission . Please spent  time to get to know about what they do in Mercy Mission. We can get involve and make a donation as well in order to support them in enabling the real change in Muslim community to affect future generations. Inshaallah, together we pray!

Lets pray that we could attend Twins of Faith next year! I hope Allah will choose you and me as well! ;)

Oh, I captured a few pictures of my notes in which I have written while attending the lectures in TOF 2013. I really wanted to share with you, dear reader.. :)

I like the quote, "Rabbi Zidni 'Ilma". This dua' is written in Al-quran.

These images below are taken from Twins of Faith Malaysia page in facebook. I did not own these pictures:

Mashaallah! A fully packed hall!

La Tahzan to whom who does not has the opportunity to join TOF this year. At the very least, you have gained some overview about this event, right? And ooh.. I think the lectures can be viewed through videos in youtube and TV9 channel. So make sure you don't miss it okay! :)

That's all from me for now. I wish to share more, but this is all I could have done. Sorry for my English and grammars. I'm still improving my language. Thank you for reading!

-May Allah bless brothers and sisters who has put their strenuous attempt to spread the message.. :)
- I could see the difference of my writing styles compared to previous post. Isn't it? 

Minggu Akhir Surgikal Posting 2013

Assalammualaikum w.b.t RNS ucapkan terlebih dahulu buat pembaca penulisan ini.

Sebenarnya sekarang ni RNS tak tahu bagaimana nak mulakan post baru kali ni. Almaklumlah, dah sekian lama tak update blog TGS. Sebab apa? Sibuk dengan kehidupan sebagai pelajar perubatan tahun 3 di Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah (HTAR), Klang. Oh, adakah itu sebenarnya alasan semata? Mungkin..

Dan anda nak tahu kenapa hari ni RNS muncul dengan post baru? Sebabnya sekarang kepala ni sangat-sangatlah terasa padatnya dengan pengisian medical facts and terms sampai dah makin hilang fokus. Dua hari lagi Exam clinical.Apalah gunanya meneruskan pembacaan jika fikiran melayang ke alam lain kan? Haha dan justeru itu, RNS dapat inspirasi untuk menulis di blog kesayangan ni. (  >_<)

Sebenarnya RNS nak sangat kongsi dengan anda semua pengalaman selama hampir 2 bulan posting pertama di unit Surgikal HTAR. Macam-macam perasaan yang pernah RNS alami sepanjang di hospital. Semua perasaan itu kadang-kadang bercampur baur menjadi satu sampaikan RNS tak tahu bagaimana ia nak diungkapkan dalam bentuk perkataan. Tak dinafikan, tahun praktikal memanglah sangat mencabar. Di sinilah teruji sejauh mana RNS bertekad untuk mendalami bidang perubatan. Di hati pernah terdetik, "Kenapa la aku pilih medik?" Bila difikirkan balik, persoalan itu muncul apabila RNS rasa 'down' dengan performance di hospital.

Sejurus selepas itu, hati tersedar bahawa RNS tak sepatutnya berfikir begitu (dan begitu juga anda yang memilih medik ni). Kita harus yakin dengan jalan hidup yang kita lalui sekarang. Bukankah dulu aku pernah beristikharah meminta petunjuk dari Allah akan pilihan ini? Lalu dengan izinNya, Dia yang menetapkan hati aku untuk menceburi bidang perubatan meskipun banyak halangan yang menguji sebelum ni. Apakah wajar aku mempersoalkannya kini? Sudah tentu tidak! Yakin, ini memang jalan yang terbaik untuk aku. Istighfar.. istighfar.. :)

Sumber kekuatan hidup ni hanyalah berpaksikan hubungan kita dengan Pencipta kita. Sebab Dialah yang Maha Mengetahui segala perihal kehidupan yang kita jalani. Sesukar mana pun masalah kita hadapi atau sepedih mana pun  perasaan sedih yang kita rasai, semuanya tak kan mampu hilang seandainya Allah tak memberi ketenangan kepada kita. Sumber ketenangan itu hanya dengan kita berdoa, mengadu dan merintih hanya pada Allah yang Maha Mendengar. Pada masa tu, air mata yang mengalir sambil menadahkan tangan kepadaNya memberikan satu ketenangan yang tidak ada taranya buat hamba yang betul-betul merasakan dekat dengan Penciptanya.

Hari demi hari, banyak perkara yang RNS belajar dari pesakit. Bukan sahaja soal penyakit yang mereka alami, tetapi lebih daripada itu. Kadang-kadang cerita kehidupan mereka banyak memberi kesedaran buat RNS. Ada antara mereka yang tidak segan berkongsi. RNS tahu, dalam hidup kita perlukan seseorang untuk mendengar luahan perasaan kita. Hanya dengan ada orang yang mendengar itu pun sudah cukup melegakan hati kita.

Semasa pengalaman awal RNS di wad, pernah RNS terjumpa seorang pak cik berusia lewat 70-an yang sudah lebih seminggu berada di hospital. Pertama kali RNS cuba untuk mendekati pak cik itu, dia jarang bercakap. Dia hanya menjawab sepatah dua perkataan apabila disoal. Hari-hari yang berikutnya, RNS cuba lagi bersembang dengannya. Barulah lama-kelamaan dia senang bercerita mengenai latar belakang hidupnya. Selepas beberapa hari kemudian, pagi tu RNS buka fail medikal pak cik tersebut. Ada satu catatan doktor HO yang menyentap perasaan RNS bila dibaca. Tulisannya lebih kurang macam ni, "Contacted the patient's relative. But he refused to pick up the patient from hospital. Now waiting a contact from welfare charity regarding this matter."

Ya Allah.. RNS terdiam dan langsung tak boleh kata apa-apa. I dont even have the will to even tell him about it. Bayangkanlah bagaimana perasaan pakcik tu bila dia mendapati ada 'orang asing' yang menjemput dia pulang dari hospital? Dan seterusnya.. ke manakah arah tempat tinggalnya?
Kisah ni RNS tak kan lupa sampai bila-bila. Begitu mendalam kesannya.

Akhir kata, semoga kita dapat mengambil pelajaran daripada setiap apa yang kita lalui dalam kehidupan ni. Setakat ni saja perkongsian kali ni. Doakan RNS dan rakan-rakan seperjuangan berjaya lulus dengan cemerlang dalam peperiksaan kami. In Shaa Allah semoga kejayaan kami dapat menghasilkan doktor-doktor muslim yang hebat pada masa akan datang. :)

Sekian, jumpa lagi dalam post akan datang! :P
