The Gift

Terima kasih atas ingatan dan doa.

Inshaallah tidak ternilai pahalanya, andai satu hari nanti lahir seorang wanita bergelar isteri solehah berkat manfaat dari pemberian ini. 

Mungkin dia tidak mampu menjadi sehebat Aishah RA, namun cukuplah dia mampu membuat suaminya redha. 

Kerana, dari situlah letak pula redha Allah.

Allah, perkenankanlah.

The Slave Who Cries

Ya Allah, please bless me with all my sincere effort to be close to you. It's true, Ya Allah! Only with the remembrance of You, made me feel calm and at peace.

Grant me Jannah ya Allah! Together with my family.

Every time I think of You, Allah, tears came down from my eyes. But miraculously, that tears made me feel more close to you. As I'm talking to you right now. You are my Creator. And you know every single thing about me more than anyone else does in this entire world.

Guide me always, Ya Allah! My eyes, my ears, my lips, my tongue, my legs and my hands - please take care of me with your guidance.

I'm weak! And all of my strength has come from You... :')

Emosi

Tak tahu kenapa dari dulu sampai sekarang asalkan week exam je, baru la datang ilham nak tulis something dekat blog.
Wait, ilham atau luahan? Nope, keluhan lagi tepat.

Aduhai satu-satunya puteri..
Mana lah pergi semangat mu yang hilang itu..?

Kalau dulu
membakar motivasi dalam diri,
kalau dulu
penat lelah kau mampu atasi,
Kalau dulu
asal payah;gagah kau tempuhi,
Hari ini apa sudah jadi?

Duduk terdiam engkau harus renungkan,
Apa sebenarnya matlamat yang kau kejarkan,
Apa benar semua impian yang kau simpan,
berpaksikan pada Tuhan?

Buka mata,
Buka hati,
Bangun, dan jangan lena lagi.
Ingat pesanan Nabi,
hari ini perlu lebih baik dari semalam,
Jika tidak, engkau tergolong dalam kalangan yang rugi.

Wake up, please!

Harapan

Apa yang aku harapkan setiap hari

adalah redhaMu. 

Agar pengakhiran hayatku

untuk bertemu denganMu,

dalam keadaan Engkau terima kehidupanku, 

di dunia dan di akhirat.

Peace of mind

Waktu petang selepas Asar, selalunya adalah masa untuk rehatkan diri dan tenangkan minda di samping menunggu tibanya waktu maghrib. Itu kebiasaanku. Melainkan ada urusan-urusan lain yang perlu dilaksanakan.

Seminggu telah berlalu sejak melangkah ke tahun 4. Jujurnya, cabaran lebih mencabar. Dan pasti, tahun-tahun yang akan datang lebih seribu kali payahnya ujian yang akan kita rasai. Apapun, ujian itu semestinya seimbang dengan tahap kematangan yang kita lalui dalam hidup. Setiap orang, berbeza-beza bentuk ujiannya. Kan sudah Allah ajarkan pada kita, bahawa Dia akan menguji kita sesuai dengan keupayaan dalam diri hambaNya?

Tapi jujur ku akui, adakalanya kelemahan menguasai diri sehinggakan kita tidak sedar hakikat itu.

Namun, aku bersyukur sebab Allah itu Maha Mengetahui akan setiap perihal kehidupan hambaNya. Dia tahu apa yang aku rasa. Lalu tanpa aku mampu menduga, Allah segera menghantarkan sesuatu yang buat aku terduduk senyum, bergenang air mata. Air mata  kegembiraan itu yang melenyapkan serta merta kesedihan yang selama ini hanya tersimpan di hati. Bahagia itu sumbernya adalah daripada yang Maha Penyayang lagi Maha Pengasih. Sedangkan kesedihan itu datang dari kelemahan diri.

Aku beryukur kerana diizinkan Allah untuk merasa bahagia itu. Setiap hari aku meminta melalui doa yang tidak putus. Aku yakin Allah simpankan buat seketika, apa sahaja yang tidak mampu aku dapat di saat ini. Dan semua itu, untuk orang yang bersabar. :')

Terima kasih. Moga Allah balas keikhlasan itu.

Review buku The Other Side Of The Coin

This is the book. Scroll down and you will again find this picture later.

Do you still remember that project, in which a student with the most number of books he/she read will then be awarded with cool prizes? I remember when i was in a primary school, I copied the description from the back of a certain storybooks just for the purpose of completing my 'Projek Nilam'. At that time, I've never thought that my teacher will know that I actually copied the synopsis (although in reality i didn't even read that book hehe). But now that I've grown up, I guess, I can obviously detect whether this student has read the book or just copy pasta  paste to increase her number of readings! I laughed at myself considering how silly I am at that age! ^_^

The fact that I love reading started when i was in Standard 3. That's because I was surrounded with my little Convent girls, whom will always brought their Enid Blyton series to school, in order to exchange books among us.

My addiction when i was in primary school

By time, when we were reaching Standard 5 & 6, everyone has changed their book of interests from a merely childrens's stories, into a more girlish stories such as Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen Series (being the most famous are - Two of a kind diaries, Sweet 16, So Little Time etc.), Lizzie Mcguire series, and not forgotten the newly released Harry Potter series by JK Rowling!

Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen series

Lizzie Mcguire series

 Then I had the chance to be in a boarding school, SM Sains Raja Tun Azlan Shah (SERATAS) which people of Taiping recognize as "Sekolah asrama depan zoo tu...". As I can recall, during that period I was so keen into reading Malay novels of 'Love' genre. You know, that transition period when you are about to enter the adolescent world, that kind of immature feeling. The tendency to be attracted to the opposite gender.. So, in search of a love stories, I accidentally came across an Islamic Love story titled "Seindah Mawar Berduri" written by Fatimah Syarha, in a pdf version. That is the turning point where, my whole perspective about a cliche love stories, changed into an understanding of how to love according to what Islam teaches us to. My life changed after that.

And at that time, i was only 14.
Then at the same time, the aprreciation of the community towards islamic love stories became a hit with so many books such as Ayat-ayat Cinta, Ketika Cinta Bertasbih etc by Habiburrahman el Shirazy.
Soon as I grew older, my interests are more towards motivational genre and legal fictions like John Grisham's. Love stories? Less likely. But not a total rejection. Still love Twilight series though.

The Other Side of The Coin by Aiman Azlan and Ameen Misran

Hi! I told you, you will see me again here ^_<

As promised, i would like to give a short feedback about this awesome book! (Don't worry, this time I didn't copy paste the description made elsewhere like I did when i was a young girl, eheh. Original from my point of view.)

Well, before I begin, reading a motivational book is not like reading a story book.
It takes time. Yeah, and it took 3 days for me to completely read every words of this book.
Because from every words that you read, it trigger yourself to ponder about the point of view that the authors had written.
Then you started to reflect and adjust it to yourself.
All of them, requires a pausible moment to mesmerize.

I knew about this book from @aimanazlan90 twitter's account. I bought it online via bookcafe.com.my.

In the preface, Aiman Azlan wrote that, "The Other Side Of The Coin" offers an alternative perspective into topics such as identity, love, education, community and self-worth. These are only a few essential topics that we need to look into, refine, and do a societal self-reflection on.
Meanwhile, Ameen Misran also wrote that everyone can inspire. You do not need to do everything to please everyone. You just need to know what talent is suitable for you.

They chose the title "The Other Side of The Coin" because it means that with any one way of looking at something in life, there will be a different ways of looking at it.
In a simpler words, we are of different opinions in life. We might agree or disagree with others view, but at least we understand where they are coming from.

I don't really know what is the truth reason, but perhaps because of the borderless information from the media and social network, sometimes we tend to be incline towards an unhealthy mindset. Its not that I'm saying all the media are mostly of bad influence, no. But it is because sometimes we easily get focused on unnecessary things. Then it makes us forget what our true goals to be achieved in life.

Reading this book by far, has actually made me realize and learn to reflect upon myself. The writers are trying to point out that we need to think in a positive way so that we can live in a more meaningful journey. Their way of delivering the message was so captivating and heart-touching. Besides, the beautiful language both writers has been work on was a success (in my personal opinion). In fact, not many youngsters nowadays have the capability or be given the opportunity to deliver inspiration in such a way Aiman Azlan and Ameen Misran did.

And ohh.. I love all the poems in this book! The meaning is so deep.. I wish I could share the poems with you here, but I feel all rights are reserved. So, if you are wondering to read the poems, support them by buying one for you okay. :)

Recycle picture from last post.

There's another part I would like to share about this book actually.. Something about life that I've never discussed before. But I will continue later.. Don't forget to get one for yourself okay!

Thank you for reading!
Thank you, you. :)

Sabar

"Dan kerana Tuhanmu, bersabarlah."

~surah al-Muddasir, ayat 7 (74:7)

Allah, aku mohon teguhkanlah hati,

TanpaMu aku tak daya.

Kerana sungguh,

untuk melaksanakan,

lebih sukar dari sekadar lisan.

A Traveller in My Own Journey

Assalammualaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh dear readers..! How are you there? Hope you will always be fine, Inshaallah! ^_<

Hari ni RNS update blog, tapi tak nak formal2 sangat la. Ini cerita dari hati..

Cerita about me as a traveller. Traveller in other people's world. 'Other people's world? Why?'

Before I start, ni nak kongsikan dengan pembaca semua to get one for yourself a book titled "The Other Side of The Coin" karya Aiman Azlan dan Ameen Misran. 

Buku ni baru je diterbitkan pada bulan ni, September 2014 oleh Puteh Press. Seronok sangat dapat peluang menjadi pembaca terawal buku ni!

 To those yang biasa melawat blog AimanAzlan.com & LangitIlahi.com, anda mesti kenal dengan dua orang penulis muda ni kan? Dulu RNS tahu sikit2 je about them. But after ada seseorang yang kerap kali mengambil contoh dan menceritakan kehidupan Aiman Azlan kepada RNS, terpanggil pulak untuk baca lagi penulisan-penulisannya. Yeah... memang banyak terinspirasi daripada mereka. And I'm glad to learn from their point of view.

Actually buku ni baru je sampai tengah hari tadi sebelum RNS menulis post kali ni. I bought it online via bookcafe.com.my (rasanya buku ni belum dipasarkan di bookstore lagi kot).

For a motivational-theme book, boleh dikatakan tebal jugak la buku ni, 311 pages. Baru sempat baca preface je, dah boleh bayang what it will be like to read the entire story of this book! Terpana dengan penyusunan kata-kata daripada penulis. :)

Earlier, what i meant about 'Traveller in other people's world' tu, is that I love reading. Especially motivational books. Through reading, I get to know about other people's perspective in their life. Kadang-kadang melalui pembacaan ni, RNS dapat sumber inspirasi untuk berfikir cara yang lebih matang and to be positive-minded. I always struggle in finding ways to get rid of my negativity! Because for me, being in a negative state of mind will always make us feel burden, penat and sedih kan? Kita semua melaluinya dalam kehidupan, kan? Tak seorang pun terlepas. Cuma yang membezakan, bagaimana setiap seorang daripada kita mengawal emosi berpandukan akal yang dikurniakan Allah kepada kita. From there, we choose and explore our way..

Hasrat di hati untuk menjadi penulis buku suatu hari nanti... boleh ke?

Inshaallah I will make a review about buku tu nanti ye!

Thanks for reading this short entry! 

Assalammualaykum. 

p/s: heard the news.. Allah.. be strong ya. May Allah fills your heart with contentment all the time. :")

Saat Pertama

sejak saat pertama kau bertemu diriku,
ada apa di dalam fikiranmu?
kerana rasamu kuat sungguh merengkuhku.

sejak saat pertama kau bertemu diriku,
ada apa di dalam hatimu?
kerana jauhnya terasa dekat untukku.

sejak saat pertama kau bertemu diriku,
ada apa di dalam doamu?
kerana Tuhan mahu aku bersungguh.

tiada apa yang aku tahu kecuali satu,
kau telah jatuh untukku,
tetapi bukan di tanganku.
