WARISAN

Disini lahirnya sebuah cinta
Yang murni abadi sejati
Disini tersemai cita cita
Bercambah menjadi warisan

Andai ku terbuang tak diterima
Andai aku disingkirkan
Kemana harusku bawakan
Kemana harusku semaikan cinta ini

Betapa
Dibumi ini ku melangkah
Keutara selatan timur dan barat
Ku jejaki

Aku
Bukanlah seorang perwira
Gagah menjunjung senjata
Namun hati rela berjuang
Walau dengan cara sendiri
Demi cinta ini

Ku ingin kotakan seribu janji
Sepanjang kedewasaan ini
Ku ingin sampaikan pesanan
Aku lah penyambung warisan


Happy Independence Day Malaysiaku sayang :')

IHOP

Another Alumni just left.

May Allah bless you, good luck!

It was a pleasure knowing you camera buddy.

Till we meet again.

Street lights & Congested roads

East Lansing is no doubt one of the most peaceful place I've ever lived in. It's so peaceful, it drives me crazy at times. I miss the busy street & the sense of day in night.

Reminder

"...Dan sesiapa yang menutup keaiban seorang muslim maka Allah ta'ala akan menutup keaibannya di dunia dan di akhirat. Dan Allah Ta'ala akan sentiasa menolong seorang hamba selama ia menolong saudaranya..." (HR Muslim)


Diriwayatkan dari Abu Hurairah RA ia berkata, "Aku pernah mendengar Rasulullah SAW bersabda: "Seluruh umatku akan diampuni dosa-dosa kecuali orang-orang yang terang-terangan (berbuat dosa). Di antara orang-orang yang terang-terangan berbuat dosa adalah seseorang yang pada waktu malam berbuat dosa, kemudian di waktu pagi ia menceritakan kepada manusia dosa yang dia lakukan semalam, padahal Allah telah menutupi aibnya. Ia berkata, "Wahai fulan, semalam aku berbuat ini dan itu". Sebenarnya pada waktu malam Tuhannya telah menutupi perbuatannya itu, tetapi justru pagi harinya ia membuka aibnya sendiri yang telah ditutupi oleh Allah." (Muttafaqun ‘alaih HR Bukhari dan Muslim).

so think twice. or thrice if you have to.

this one goes for me too.

Syukur

For a second just now it felt like home. The chaotic house filled with just enough children to turn on the volume. Having forbidden dinner on the couch in front of the TV. Purposely throwing food on the floor. Holding hands while grocery shopping. Endless shows on Nick. Having fish fish.

Daripada Zaid bin Khalil al-Juhhani r.a., daripada Nabi SAW sabdanya, "Sesiapa yang memberi makan (berbuka) kepada orang yang puasa, ia akan mendapat pahala seperti orang yang berpuasa itu dan pahala orang yang berpuasa itu tidak berkurangan walau sedikitpun". (At-Tirmidzi)

You gave me more than just iftar. Thank you, my dear friend & your family. May Allah bless you all.

If I have the money & time, I'd jump on the next plane home just to celebrate one day of Ramadhan with my family. Good night :'(

The Art of Complaining

note to self: put an effort to make a change.

Just in my head now.

The feeling of not wanting to read another novel just because you're so in love with the one you just finished.
The feeling of not wanting to watch another movie for exact same reason.
The feeling of not wanting to order a new dish on the menu, change schools, leave the old friends and all the related events.
Happens quite frequent.

But I wont forget the burning flame. Hoping for something better.

That's why they call it the good old days.

I now remember the reason for this rush of emotions that is passing through. What a wonderful world. There's a lot more to my childhood than I thought. Memories will fade no matter how hard I try to hold on. Sometimes it felt like holding on to a wet thread of silk. There's no way of knowing which tiny detail will be significant later in life, so cherish them all. And when the lightning strikes, you'll have a reason to smile.

The best part of a memory is when it comes back to you.

pill of happiness

differs for each person.

take it as frequent as you need.

appreciate it.

caution: it makes you feel all woozy and light-headed, even swirly straws seem funny & laughter gets very contagious

"it's all in your head"

ps: amazing how I was in a completely different mood when I woke up compared to now. get your own pills now from your dearest fairy godmother tonight :D

pss: need to call my momma pronto.

MAD!

dnfjwefnoefniofmwfoengo2y329rhi jo3mxj3h!

I need peace.

Aku tinggalkan kamu 2 perkara, apabila kamu berpegang kepada kedua-duanya pasti kamu tak akan sesat selama-lamanya, Al-Quran dan Sunnah Rasulullah : Bukhari wa Muslim

Okay dear friends, I'm sorry I'm so sleepy now. I promise I'll submit our photo tomorrow. Promise. Good night. Jgn lupa niat puasa.

Monologue

The truth is highlighted in neon. An open book is easy to read. There's never an end in circles. Denial sucks. Bursting out will hurt both sides. Friendship is very sacred. Think. Proper niat is the utmost important. Small things must remain small. Allah is fair. The world doesn't revolve around a person. Reflection aren't always pretty. Best of luck.

Fb matters. Friends regardless of gender. Believe in sensitive issues. Nikon is my baby. Boyfriendless.

Neutral. And life goes on. Cheers.

Salam Ramadhan

"O you who believe fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you so that you can learn Taqwa" (Quran 2:183)

The Arabic word Taqwa is translated in many ways including God consciousness, God fearing, piety, and self restraining.

Alhamdulillah, we are given a chance once more to celebrate the joyous month of Ramadhan. This is my third Ramadhan being away from family (2 years of boarding school). But it's my first time being in another country. When I'm preparing for sahur, my family in Malaysia is about to buka puasa, while my dad is still fasting cos the sun is on top of his head. Funny. How I wish we all can just video call have our iftar together, but that ain't gonna happen.

Alhamdulillah again, I'm glad that I'm a part of the community here :) the best! May this Ramadhan will be better than the last one. Amin.

Last summer trip of the year.

Destination: Mackinaw City, Mackinac Island, Traverse City, Sleeping Bear Dunes.
August 6,7,8 2010.

The places were spectacular, activities were awesome and most of all, the company was GREAT! Love love love them. I got to play in the water, soak in the hot tub, catch a couple ferry rides, did parasailing, spent a night in the car, experience the crazy life of drunk people (ergh), and was gobsmacked by the great creation of Allah SWT :)

Thank you to my lovers who made this all happened :) and for being very optimistic ;)
Hello Ramadhan, it's nice to see you again.

Roar!

Note: Nothing utterly important ;)

safe to say, I'm in love with him. HAHA.

Just so we are aware of this.

(CNN) -- In protest of what it calls a religion "of the devil," a nondenominational church in Gainesville, Florida, plans to host an "International Burn a Quran Day" on the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks.

The Dove World Outreach Center says it is hosting the event to remember 9/11 victims and take a stand against Islam. With promotions on its website and Facebook page, it invites Christians to burn the Muslim holy book at the church from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

"We believe that Islam is of the devil, that it's causing billions of people to go to hell, it is a deceptive religion, it is a violent religion and that is proven many, many times," Pastor Terry Jones told CNN's Rick Sanchez earlier this week.

Jones wrote a book titled "Islam is of the Devil," and the church sells coffee mugs and shirts featuring the phrase.

Muslims and many other Christians -- including some evangelicals -- are fighting the initiative.

The church launched a YouTube channel to disseminate its messages.

"I mean ask yourself, have you ever really seen a really happy Muslim? As they're on the way to Mecca? As they gather together in the mosque on the floor? Does it look like a real religion of joy?" Jones asks in one of his YouTube posts.

"No, to me it looks like a religion of the devil."

The Islamic advocacy group Council on American-Islamic Relations called on Muslims and others to host "Share the Quran" dinners to educate the public during the monthlong fast of Ramadan beginning in August. In a news release, the group announced a campaign to give out 100,000 copies of the Quran to local, state and national leaders.

"American Muslims and other people of conscience should support positive educational efforts to prevent the spread of Islamophobia," said CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper in the release.

The National Association of Evangelicals, the nation's largest umbrella evangelical group, issued a statement urging the church to cancel the event, warning it could cause worldwide tension between the two religions.

"The NAE calls on its members to cultivate relationships of trust and respect with our neighbors of other faiths. God created human beings in his image, and therefore all should be treated with dignity and respect," it said in the statement.

Dove's Facebook page, set up for the September event, has more than 1,600 fans.

"Eternal fire is the only destination the Quran can lead people to, so we want to put the Quran in it's [sic] place -- the fire!" the page says.

But another Facebook group with more than 3,100 fans says it stands "against the disrespect and intolerance that these people have for the Muslim people" and encourages people to report Dove's page to Facebook.

Targeting another group it calls "godless," the Dove center is also hosting a protest against Gainesville Mayor Craig Lowe, who is openly gay, on Monday at Gainesville's City Hall. The group previously fought -- unsuccessfully -- to derail Lowe's election campaign.

"We protest sexual perversion because the Bible protests it. ... What is acceptable to today's leadership becomes acceptable to tomorrow's society," the church says in its blog entry about the event.

Lowe and other government figures and media outlets received e-mails from the church about the event, The Gainesville Sun reported. Lowe isn't concerned with Monday's event.

"I've got other things to do," he said, The Sun reports.

On the outreach center's front lawn, alongside a sign reading "Aug. 2 Protest, No Homo Mayor, City Hall," stands not just one, but three signs bearing the slogan "Islam is of the Devil."

One of the signs -- one reading "Islam" on one side, "Devil" on the other -- was vandalized. On its blog last week, the church said the sign will be replaced.

"This is private property and vandalism is a crime here in America," the blog says. "In Islam, many actions that we consider to be crimes are encouraged, condoned or sheltered under Islamic teaching and practice, though. Another reason to burn a Quran."
