Solat di Cape Reinga

Anas RadhiAllahu anhu narrates that RasuluLlah SallAllahu alaihi wasallam said: The comfort and delight of my eyes has been placed in Salat.

Taman syurga

Setelah seminggu menjelajah Northland, melihat keagungan ciptaanNya, namun sesungguhnya tiada yg lebih gembira di hati apabila dapat kembali semula ke taman syurga di AUT Student mosque =)

Hitchike

Hari ini tamat lah practical work aku utk dairy farm

I hitchiked to Tauranga and stay in backpackers for one nite bfr i continue my jurney to palmy tomorrow

While hitchhiking, i met with a driver called Tom, we talked bout a lot of stuff along the way, then until one point

Tom: so u muslim dont eat pork, what else u dont eat?

Me: well, basicly we eat everything that u does, lamb, chiickens, cows fishes etc

Tom: As long as it is halal sloughtered rite? seashells?

Me: yeah, we can eat those, in general, we cant eat pork and for drink we cannot drink alcohol, and thats all

Tom: wat really? U never had a single sip of alcohol ur entire life?

Me: nope never

Tom: Wow, no wonder some muslims are rich, u guys never spend ur money on alcohol (kidding sound). I might even need to change my religion to islam so that i can cut the money i spend on alcohol. After that i might even own a farm!

*Then we both laugh*

Me (dalam hati): Tom how i really wish u will become muslim, hidayah ya Allah

Bed Time Story

There once was a lad who couldnt lower his gaze,
Distraught and disappointed he tried many ways,
Finally he decided to go to a shaykh well known,
And ask him advice for his desperation had grown
The shaykh said to him, indeed but you've come to ask
About something great, first though I have a task
I have a friend of mine, on the other side of town
And I have a daily gift I give him before every sun down
It was a bowl of milk almost filled to the top
He said take this here bowl and don't spill a drop!
I am sending with you a friend with great vision
To make sure that you make no mistakes in your mission!
The lad began to walk with the bowl in his hands,
Wishing them steady, he dared not break a command,
For every step that he took, his guide watched with pierced eyes
As if waiting for any mistake to arise
When his task was over he return to the sage
And said, the task is done, now show me the way!
He said, 'you have done well but first let me see,
Did you happen to see the house with the gigantic tree?
The lad said, no, I'm sorry, I was not aware
Well, you passed my uncle's street, did you see him there?
The lad said, no I did not see an uncle or tree
The milk would have spilled if I looked upward you see!
And I was so nervous because your friend did not blink,
So I watched every step, and thats all i could think!
The Shaykh smiled and said, leave now, for this task
Has answered the question you had wished to ask,
The milk that you carried with focus throughout
Was your book of deeds, much more important no doubt
If you were nervous by one who records your every mistake
Know that there are angels who write, if such allowance you make
Life is a similar journey, but to a different address,
So be gone, and focus young lad, I wish you the best!

Hidayah

less than one year im in NZ, i have seen a lot of kiwis and moaris accept and embrace Islam, and i even have heard a lot of stories that they went through to keep their faith, to protect their deen


Yet, when I look at myself, have I changed? become a better person? Or just the same old me? Or maybe worse?

Ya Allah, hidayah Mu tersebar pantas di bumi NZ ni ya Allah, jadikan ini sebagai asbab untuk aku mendapat hidayah juga ya Allah...

Oh Hati :((

Imam Shafi`i on his death-bed was asked by Al Muzni "What is your condition?"

Then Imam Shafi' (رحمه الله) replied,

"I am journeying from this world, and departing from my brothers, drinking from the cup of death, and upon Allah, Exalted is His remembrance, arriving. And no! By Allah, I do not know if my soul is travelling towards Paradise or the Fire!"

Imam Shafi' (رحمه الله) then began to cry profusely and recited the following;

'To You, the Creator, I raise my longing,

And even if I am, O possessor of kindness and generosity, an evildoer, a criminal

When my heart became constricted and my paths became narrow,

I took my hope in Your pardon and forgiveness as an opening and an escape

My sins seemed very great to me but when I compared them to Your forgiveness,

I found Your forgiveness to be much greater

You are and still remain the only One who can forgive sins,

You grant and forgive out of Your benevolence and generosity

Were it not for You, then a servant could never defy Iblis

And how can that be when he mislead Your friend Adam

If only I knew! Will I arrive at Paradise that I may take delight

Or at Hellfire, that I may regret?

How capable is Allah! For the one acquainted with lament,

blood almost flows from his eyelids due to the excess of his emotions (lament)

He stands when the night extends out its darkness

Stands against himself out of extreme fear, sinful

Eloquent when he makes mention of his Lord

And in the mention of others than Him, he is speechless

He remembers days gone by of his youth

And what was in it of ignorance, he was a criminal

And so for the whole of his day, the companion of grief has become

the brother of sleeplessness and secret conversation when the night darkens

He says, 'My beloved, You are what I request and desire

You are enough of a longing and benefit for those who have hope

Are You not the One who has provided for me and guided me

And You have not ceased being gracious to me and full of favours

Perhaps the Beneficent One will forgive my mistakes

And cover up my crime and what has gone forth

My sins seemed very great to me, so I turned (to You) in humility

Were it not for my contentment in you, I wouldn't, O my Lord, have seen any comfort at all

So if You forgive me, You would have forgiven a sinner,

A rebellious, oppressive tyrant still sinning

So if You were to seek revenge from me, I would not despair

Even if they entered my soul into Jahannum, due to the sins

For my crimes are great, past and present

But Your forgiveness comes to the servant, more exalted and more great

The bounty of Allaah surrounds me from all sides

And Light from the Most Merciful has spread in the sky

And in the heart is the radiance of the beloved when he is reunited

And when glad tidings draw close, it becomes feverish

Exhilaration surrounds me, only for Allaah

It overlooks me in the darkness of the grave, apparent and clear

I protect my love, lest my desires should pollute it

And I preserve the contract of love, lest it be defiled

In my wakefulness is yearning and in my slumber is destiny

That's pursuing my footsteps in ecstasy

Whoever holds fast to Allaah, he is protected from men

And whoever hopes for Him, then never will he regret..
