Pos Ketiga

More photos will be uploaded soon!

..abah dalam hati tidak habis-habis ucapkan terima kasih kepada saudara-mara sebelah nenek. Mereka 'sporting' habis. Semua acara yang kami sediakan, semuanya mendapat sambutan yang memeriahkan suasana..

Cerita Abah

1. Sehari sebelum raya, hari Sabtu, kami adik-beradik sibuk pasang balai.

2. Hari Raya kedua, hari Isnin, kami sambung lagi. Pasang dua (2) balai atap zink, campur satu (1) balai atap kanvas.

3. Daripada tahun lepas lagi Nenek Kampung dan Atok Kampung (gelaran anak-anak abah kepada atok dan nenek sebelah abah) sudah bercakap-cakap hendak buat Hari Keluarga. Kini tibalah masanya.

..terima kasih banyak-banyak abah ucapkan kepada Din, menantu Acik Leman Komando depan rumah, sebab berjaya menyediakan kami set karaoke pada saat-saat akhir..

4. Perancangan kami pada mulanya sederhana sahaja. Tapi, bila Atok Busu sampai dan beri cadangan, segala-galanya berubah. Malam tu, macam-macam idea Atok Busu curahkan. Daripada set Karaoke, sehinggalah kepada aktiviti-aktiviti yang tidak pernah abah jangkakan.


5. Macam-macam program kami sediakan malam sebelumnya. Kami buat brainstorming habis. Banyak acara-acara menarik kami sediakan. Malam itu juga kami bincang pasal hadiah, sumbangan ikhlas dan sebagainya.


6. Terima kasih banyak-banyak abah ucapkan kepada Din menantu Acik Leman Komando depan rumah, sebab berjaya menyediakan kami set karaoke pada saat-saat akhir.

..jika ada sebarang kekurangan atau kesilapan, abah mewakili atok dan nenek, menyusun sepuluh jari memohon maaf sekiranya ada..

7. Alhamdulillah. Hari Keluarga Atok dan Nenek Kampung memang meriah. Penuh dengan suasana gembira dan hilai ketawa.


8. Saudara-saudara sebelah nenek, ramai yang datang. Kebanyakkanya daripada Johor. Subhanallah, abah dalam hati tidak habis-habis ucapkan terima kasih kepada saudara-mara sebelah nenek.


9. Mereka 'sporting' habis. Semua acara yang kami sediakan, semuanya mendapat sambutan yang memeriahkan suasana.

..macam-macam idea Atok Busu curahkan. Daripada set Karaoke, sehinggalah kepada aktiviti-aktiviti yang tidak pernah abah jangkakan..

10. Saudara-saudara sebelah atok pun ramai juga yang hadir. Kebanyakkannya daripada Melaka, Pahang dan Selangor. Ada yang dapat datang awal, dan ada pula yang datang selepas saudara-saudara abah sebelah nenek balik.


11. Kesimpulannya, abah merumuskan, Hari Keluarga Atok dan Nenek memang meriah. Syukur Alhamdulillah.

12. Abah juga mengambil kesempatan ini, untuk mengucapkan jutaan terima kasih kepada semua saudara-saudara abah yang datang. Jika ada sebarang kekurangan atau kesilapan, abah mewakili atok dan nenek, menyusun sepuluh jari memohon maaf sekiranya ada.

..Pak Ngah, Pak Andak, Pak Itam, Pak Usu, dan semua Pak Cik-Pak Cik menitiskan air mata bila memohon keampunan daripada Atok dan Nenek. Begitulah hebatnya bila setiap pagi Hari Raya Aidilfitri tiba..

Berkumpul di Rumah Pak Itam

Cerita Abah

1. Allahhuakhbar, Allahuakbar, Allahuakbar Walillah Ilham. Hari Lebaran menjelma lagi setelah sebulan umat Islam menjalankan ibadat puasa.

2. Di hari yang mulia, satu (1) Syawal 1430 Hijrah, kami sekeluarga menyambut Aidilfitri seperti biasa, penuh kesederhanaan tetapi meriah.

3. Bila kesemua sembilan (9) adik-beradik lelaki abah berkumpul bersama keluarga masing-masing (bagi yang sudah berkahwin), suasana pasti menyeronokkan. Paling seronok bila cucu-cucu atok dan nenek berkumpul sekali. Maklumlah, umur lebih kurang sebaya.

4. Ya, giliran kami berkumpul memang sepakat. Tahun 2009 merupakan giliran beraya semua adik-beradik abah di kampung, di Melaka.

5. Lemang, ketupat, nasi himpit, rendang, dodol seakan-akan juadah wajib yang mesti nenek dan atok sediakan bila Hari Raya menjelma.

6. Sebelum Sembahyang Raya, abah kumpul adik-beradik pakai Baju Melayu. Bila semua sudah siap sedia, kami semua pun memohon keampunan daripada kedua ibu bapa kami. Pak Ngah, Pak Andak, Pak Itam, Pak Usu, dan semua Pak Cik-Pak Cik menitiskan air mata bila memohon keampunan daripada Atok dan Nenek. Begitulah hebatnya bila setiap pagi Hari Raya Aidilfitri tiba.

7. Lepas Sembahyang Raya, dipendekkan cerita tok, nenek dan abah adik-beradik pergi melawat ke pusara kedua-dua moyang anak-anak abah.

Cerita Aku

..pemergian Mak Tok aku ratapi tidak sehebat ketika arwah Oyah pergi..

Pusara Arwah Tok Ayah

1. 07hb April 1998, hari Selasa, bersamaan dengan 10 Zulhijjah 1418 bersamaan dengan satu (1) Hari Raya Korban, Aidiladha. Arwah Tok Ayah pergi meninggalkan kami menuju ke Rahmatullah.

2. Sudah sebelas (11)tahun Tok Ayah pergi meninggalkan aku, bersama-sama dosa-dosa silam aku kepada beliau. Aku masih lagi mengharapkan keampunan arwah Tok Ayah kepada aku walaupun dia sudah lama pergi. Aku sedekahkan Yaasin, aku sedekahkan Al-Fatihah.

3. Oyah, aku ingat lagi setiap perkara yang berlaku waktu Oyah jaga aku kecik-kecik dulu. Hari ini dan seterusnya, aku memang berniat untuk mengubah hidup keluarga kita Yah. Jasa Oyah, aku akan balas dengan apa cara sekalipun.

4. Kalau tidak kepada Oyah, kepada anak-anak Oyah, atau cucu-cucu Oyah atau cicit-cicit Oyah, atau hempas-hempas daun Oyah atau semua keturunan dan waris Oyah selepas ini. InsyaAllah Yah. Aku balas jasa kau Yah.

..tiada lain yang telah engkau buktikan, melainkan kasih-sayang arwah Oyah dan Mak Tok mendidik aku itu sebenarnya adalah segala-galanya..

Pusara Arwah Mak Tok

5. 20hb Februari 2004, bersamaan dengan 10 Zulhijjah 1424 bersamaan dengan hari Jumaat, enam (6) tahun selepas Oyah pergi, giliran Mak Tok pula pulang ke Rahmatullah. Kini sudah lima (5) tahun arwah Mak Tok pergi.

6. Pemergian Mak Tok aku ratapi tidak sehebat ketika arwah Oyah pergi.

7. Kini, walaupun tanpa Mak Tok, kasih sayang arwah ketika menjaga aku kecik-kecik masih subur lagi sehingga sekarang dan sampai bila-bila. Aku turunkan kepada keluarga aku, anak-anak aku, adik-adik aku dan anak-anak buah aku.

8. Tiada lain yang telah engkau buktikan, melainkan kasih-sayang arwah Oyah dan Mak Tok mendidik aku itu sebenarnya adalah segala-galanya.

9. Al-Fatihah.

Audience

First Impressions Last Forever (Abah Story, Part 2)

Second Post

..anak-anak abah must be able to give the BEST performance that will eventually impress the audience especially if it is your FIRST time.

First Impressions Last Forever

1. ‘First Impressions Last Forever’, is a quote that abah got during one of abah lecture while pursuing the Master program. Being specific, it was abruptly touched and suggested by ‘lecturer abah’ , En. Lukman (soon Dr. Lukman) during one of his OSH Management System lecture.

2. The quote is another case that really gives abah another guidance in abah life. Abah have a lot of quotes that abah could remember, but as time goes by, perhaps abah will pass on some good quotes for which that has came across into abah mind.

3. Abah remember when abah first attend the first lecture, and it was back in the month of October, 2008. The lecturer, Dr. Anuar Suun, an associate professor and also a physician had asked the students to write types of occupational diseases and present it in front of the class. Abah was so impressed by abah new colleagues as they were so knowledgable and had aggressively giving their opinions and thoughts.

4. Abah was also impressed by the title of abah new colleagues that time, as most of them are professionals such as medical doctor, magistrate, army officers, police officers, engineers, safety practitioners, oil and gas professional, certified trainers, medical assistant, businessman, lecturers and few other fields mostly that abah has mentioned.

5. As usual, when abah were in this kind of situation, certainly abah had practiced the other quote that abah remember which is; it's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt. Abah has read this somewhere, and it is true for some good reasons.

..it's better to keep your mouth shut and give the impression that you're stupid than to open it and remove all doubt. Abah has read this somewhere..

6. So fortunate, the short assignment was given into groups and abah managed to escape. Hehehe.. " )

7. Nevertheless, abah is not saying that anak-anak abah must play the role of escapism all the time, but what abah wants to convey is, anak-anak abah must be able to get prepared at all the time.

..anak-anak abah must be able to get prepared at all the time.

8. Hence, when anak-anak abah were given the opportunity to present something, anak-anak abah must be able to give the BEST performance that will eventually impress the audience especially if it is your FIRST time.

9. On that FIRST time, you must give your audience something which is beyond the expectation of others, and InsyaAllah, in no doubt, a successful person is the one that manage to uphold the VERY BEST of that first impressions.

10. Please remember, that 'First Impressions Last Forever'.

Cerita Abah (Bahagian 1)

Pos Pertama
Cerita 1

(An Attempt to Capture)
Rim Lighting

1. Masa abah kerja luar pejabat, abah suka lepak dengan kawan-kawan baru.

2. Abah tidak kira pun status mereka, tua, muda, besar, kecil, kaya, miskin, semua abah boleh berkawan. Dalam hati abah kata, yang penting abah kena berhati-hati, khuatir kalau kena tipu. Maklumlah, banyak barang-barang berharga abah bawa bersama.

3. Tapi abah selalu bertawakal, sebab abah ada satu keyakinan diri yang tinggi dengan kejujuran dan keikhlasan yang abah ada. Lagi satu, abah selalu ada satu niat dalam hati iaitu, "abah suka belajar".

4. Ada sahabat abah kata, kalau kita buat apa-apa pun, dengan niat hendak belajar, InsyaAllah, alasan itu boleh diterima kalau kita terrrrrbuat silap. Apa yang penting, kena sentiasa berhati-hati dan buat pembetulan kalau terrrrrrbuat salah.

5. Macam-macam jenis orang abah sudah jumpa.

6. Ada suatu masa ni, masa abah keluar, abah ada jumpa seorang kawan baru, dia kata dia baru jatuh pokok kelapa.

7. Masa kami lepak-lepak, puas dia cerita pada dua orang awek Minah Saleh, al-kisah pengalaman yang dia baru jatuh pokok kelapa.

8. Cerita dia lebih kurang macam inilah. "When I was at the peak of the coconut tree to pluck the young coconuts, suddenly, a king cobra appeared in front of me. The snake made the sound.....Psssssssstttttttt!"

9. Minah Saleh tu punyalah terpegun, "wow! really? that's sound horrible! what happened then?"

10. Kawan baru abah tu jawab, "what happened? I was so surprised until I released both of my hands from holding the frond! To my surprise, I was falling off the tree. No hands, no hands!" cerita kawan abah gembira siap dengan gaya-gaya sekali. Abah tumpang sekaki ketawa. Abah diam saja.

11. Kawan abah sambung, "while falling down, I was looking down to the earth, still too far, looking back above, I could see the snake 'bye-bye' to me. I felt like the time was moving so slow. No hands, no hands." Dua-dua Minah Saleh tu pun ketawa, tapi taksub.

12. Minah Saleh tu pun kata, "oh dear, that was sooooooo terrible, but I am so glad you are still alive!"

13. Kawan abah jawab lagi, "yeah, few people died here because they had fallen off the coconut trees."

14. Minah saleh tu jawab balik, "wow, you must be such an amazing person then!" kemudian kami terus lepak panjang.

15. Sampai hari ini abah masih musykil, ilmu apalah agaknya kawan abah tu pakai, sampai jatuh pokok kelapa pun macam seronok saja. " )

Cerita 2

Abah
(Looking at The Sea Thru The Window of Hotel Primula,
Pantai Batu Buruk, Trengganu)

1. Nanti, kalau abah ada masa, abah cerita kisah masa abah lepak dengan orang banyak duit pula. Phuhhhh, masa tu abah rasa macam abah ni miskin gila!

2. Tapi, nasib baik abah ada kawan lain yang kongsi cerita dia.

3. Dia kata, kita kena sentiasa bersyukur kepada Allah SWT. Bagaimana cara kita bersyukur bukan hanya dengan berkata "syukur Alhamdulillah!" Itu tidak cukup.

4. Sebaliknya, syukur yang benar-benar bersyukur ialah dengan meninggalkan apa yang dilarang olehNya, dan melakukan apa yang disuruh olehNya.

5. Salah satu cara bagaimana kita menyampaikan kesyukuran kita kepada Allah SWT ialah dengan tidak meninggalkan solat lima waktu.

6. Sampai hari ni abah ingat lagi pesan kawan abah yang seorang ni.

7. Dia kata, "kalau kita sekadar cakap 'syukur Alhamdulillah', itu masih belum dikira bersyukur, kita kena sembahyang."

8. Masa sembahyang, kita kena tahu rukun-rukun sembahyang dan menghayati maksud bacaan-bacaan dalam sembahyang." kata kawan abah tu lagi. Dia orang Jawa.

9. Anak-anak abah nanti kenalah rajin sembahyang sebagai tanda kesyukuran kita kepada Allah SWT.

10. Allah SWT ada kata (berfirman), lagi kita bersyukur, lagi Allah tambah nikmat kepada diri kita.

11. ....Ommmmmelll anak-anak abah nie! syukur Alhamdulillah.. a'ah, tak cukup tu! " )

Himpunan Ayat-ayat Al-Quran dan Al-Hadis Mengenai Solat Subuh

Aku menasihati diri sendiri dan berkongsi dengan pembaca budiman sekelian (sekiranya ada), semoga kita tetap menjaga dan memelihara solat Subuh agar kita sentiasa berada di dalam jaminan Allah SWT, sepertimana yang dijanjikan Allah SWT dan hadis-hadis Rasullullah SAW, seperti di bawah:

1. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
“Dan bersabarlah kamu bersama-sama dengan orang-orang yang menyeru Tuhannya di pagi dan senja hari dengan mengharap keredaanNya, dan janganlah kedua matamu berpaling daripada mereka kerana mengharapkan perhiasan duniawi, dan janganlah kamu mengikuti orang yang hatinya sudah Kami lalaikan daripada mengingati Kami, serta menuruti hawa nafsunya dan adalah keadaannya itu melampaui batas.”
(Surah al-Kahfi, ayat 28)

2. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
"Dirikanlah solat dari sesudah matahari tergelincir sampai gelap malam dan (dirikanlah pula solat) subuh. Sesungguhnya solat Subuh itu disaksikan (oleh malaikat).
(Al-Israa, ayat 78)

3. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
"Para utusan (malaikat) berkata: "Hai Luth, sesungguhnya kami adalah utusan-utusan Tuhanmu, sekali-kali mereka tidak akan dapat mengganggu kamu, sebab itu pergilah dengan membawa keluarga dan pengikut-pengikut kamu di akhir malam dan janganlah ada seorangpun di antara kamu yang tertinggal, kecuali isterimu. Sesungguhnya dia akan ditimpa azab yang menimpa mereka kerana sesungguhnya saat jatuhnya azab kepada mereka ialah di waktu Subuh; bukankah Subuh itu sudah dekat?."
(Al-Huud, ayat 81)

4. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
"Katakanlah, aku berlindung kepada Tuhan Yang Menguasai Subuh, "
(Al Falaq, ayat 1)

5. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
"Iaitu orang-orang yang sabar, yang benar, yang tetap taat, yang menafkahkan hartanya (di jalan Allah), dan yang memohon ampun di waktu sahur*.
(Ali 'Imran, ayat 17 )
*Sahur: waktu sebelum fajar menyingsing mendekati subuh.

6. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
"Dan telah Kami wahyukan kepadanya (Luth) perkara itu, yaitu bahwa mereka akan ditumpas habis di waktu Subuh. "
(Al Hijr, ayat 66)

7. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
"Hai orang-orang yang beriman, hendaklah budak-budak (lelaki dan wanita) yang kamu miliki, dan orang-orang yang belum baligh di antara kamu, meminta izin kepada kamu tiga kali (dalam satu hari) iaitu: sebelum sembahyang Subuh, ketika kamu menanggalkan pakaian (luar)mu di tengah hari dan sesudah sembahyang Isya'. (Itulah) tiga 'aurat bagi kamu. Tidak ada dosa atasmu dan tidak (pula) atas mereka selain dari (tiga waktu) itu. Mereka melayani kamu, sebahagian kamu (ada keperluan) kepada sebahagian (yang lain). Demikianlah Allah menjelaskan ayat-ayat bagi kamu. Dan Allah Maha Mengetahui lagi Maha Bijaksana."
(An Nuur, ayat 58)

8. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
"Maka bertasbihlah kepada Allah di waktu kamu berada di petang hari dan waktu kamu berada di waktu Subuh, "
(Ar Ruum , ayat 17)

9. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
"Maka apabila siksaan itu turun di halaman mereka, maka amat buruklah pagi hari yang dialami oleh orang-orang yang diperingatkan itu*. "
(Ash Shaaffaat , ayat 177)
*Yang dimaksud dengan pagi hari ialah bukan waktu pagi tetapi sebarang waktu di mana orang-orang yang menyerang itu melakukan serangannya sebelum waktu subuh; maka orang-orang yang kalah menderita kekalahannya pada waktu pagi.

10. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
"dan Subuh apabila mulai terang. "
(Al Muddatstsir , ayat 34)

11. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
"dan demi Subuh apabila fajarnya mulai menyingsing, "
(At Takwiir , ayat 18)

12. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
"Maka sabarlah kamu atas apa yang mereka katakan, dan bertasbihlah dengan memuji Tuhanmu, sebelum terbit matahari dan sebelum terbenamnya dan bertasbih pulalah pada waktu-waktu di malam hari dan pada waktu-waktu di siang hari, supaya kamu merasa senang, "
( Thaahaa , ayat 30)

13. Allah SWT berfirman maksudnya:
"Maka bersabarlah kamu terhadap apa yang mereka katakan dan bertasbihlah sambil memuji Tuhanmu sebelum terbit matahari dan sebelum terbenam(nya). "
(Qaaf , ayat 39)

14. Diriwayatkan daripada Abu Hurairah ra, Rasulullah SAW bersabda yang maksudnya:
“Sesungguhnya solat yang paling berat bagi orang munafik adalah solat Isya’ dan solat Subuh. Sekiranya mereka mengetahui apa yang terkandung di dalamnya, nescaya mereka akan mendatangi keduanya meskipun dalam keadaan merangkak. Sungguh, aku ingin menyuruh melaksanakan solat, lalu solat itu ditegakkan, kemudian aku perintahkan seseorang untuk mengimami solat bersama orang-orang. Kemudian beberapa laki-laki berangkat bersamaku dengan membawa kayu yang terikat, mendatangi satu kaum yang tidak menghadiri solat berjemaah, sehingga aku bakar rumah mereka."
(HR Bukhairi dan Muslim).

15. Rasullullah SAW bersabda:
"Malaikat turun naik dalam kalangan kamu silih berganti: malam dan siang, kedua-dua puak itu berhimpun pada waktu sembahyang Subuh dan pada waktu sembahyang Asar; setelah itu puak yang bermalam dalam kalangan kamu: naik, lalu ditanya oleh Allah Taala, sedang Ia mengetahui hal mereka: "Bagaimana keadaan hamba-hambaKu semasa kamu tinggalkan?" Malaikat menjawab: "Kami tinggalkan mereka sedang mereka mengerjakan sembahyang, dan kami datang kepada mereka sedang mereka mengerjakan sembahyang.
(Hadis riwayat Abu Hurairah r.a )

16. Daripada Abu Barzah al-Islami r.a. katanya:
“Rasulullah s.a.w telah bersembahyang Asar. Kemudian salah seorang daripada kami telah kembali ketempat kediamannya dipinggir bandar ketika matahari masih cerah. Baginda Rasulullah suka mentakhirkan sembahyang isyak, dan Baginda tidak suka tidur sebelumnya serta bercakap-cakap selepasnya, Baginda selesai menunaikan sembahyang Subuh ketika seorang itu boleh mengenali orang yang duduk disebelahnya dan Baginda membaca 60 ayat sehingga 100 ayat al-Quran”. *
(Al-Bukhari dan Muslim)

*Setelah selesai sembahyang subuh Rasulullah s.a.w membaca 60 ayat sehingga 100 ayat al-Quran.

17. Rasulullah SAW bersabda maksudnya:
“Sesiapa yang menunaikan solat Subuh, maka ia berada dalam jaminan Allah SWT. Kerana itu, janganlah kamu mencari jaminan Allah SWT dengan sesuatu (selain daripada solat), yang pada waktu kamu mendapatkannya, lebih-lebih lagi ditakuti kamu tergelincir ke dalam api neraka.”
(Hadis riwayat Muslim)

18. Rasulullah SAW mendoakan umatnya yang bergegas dalam melaksanakan solat Subuh:
“Ya Allah, berkatilah umatku selama mereka suka bangun subuh (iaitu mengerjakannya).”
(Hadis riwayat Termizi, Abu Daud, Ahmad dan Ibnu Majah)

19. Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda, maksudnya:
”Segerakanlah solat Subuh sebelum matahari terbit. Sebab ketika itulah para pengikut syaitan sedang keluar dari sarangnya. Ketika itu pula orang-orang kafir tengah bersujud kepada matahari.”
(Hadis riwayat Muslim)

20. Rasulullah SAW bersabda sebagaimana disebutkan:
“Dari Aisyah telah bersabda Rasulullah SAW, dua rakaat solat Fajar pahalanya lebih indah daripada dunia dan seisinya.”
(Hadis riwayat Imam At-Termizi)

21. Diriwayatkan Muslim daripada Usman bin Affan berkata, Rasulullah SAW bersabda yang maksudnya:
“Barang siapa yang solat Isyak berjemaah maka seolah-olah dia telah solat setengah malam, barang siapa solat Subuh berjemaah, maka seolah-olah dia telah melaksanakan solat malam satu malam penuh.”
(Hadis riwayat Muslim).

22. Diriwayatkan daripada Abu Musa al-Asyaari, dia berkata Rasulullah SAW bersabda yang maksudnya:
“Barang siapa yang solat dua waktu yang dingin, maka akan masuk syurga.”
(Hadis riwayat Bukhari).

23. Rasulullah SAW bersabda yang bermaksud dari riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim :
“Kami sedang duduk bersama Rasulullah SAW, ketika melihat bulan purnama. Baginda berkata, “Sungguh kamu akan melihat Rabb (Allah), sebagaimana kamu melihat bulan yang tidak terhalang dalam memandangnya. Apabila kamu mampu, janganlah kamu menyerah dalam melakukan solat sebelum terbit matahari dan solat sebelum terbenam matahari. Maka lakukanlah.”
(Hadis riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)

24. Rasulullah SAW bersabda yang maksudnya:
“Barang siapa yang menunaikan solat Subuh, maka ia berada dalam jaminan Allah. Maka janganlah cuba-cuba membuat Allah membuktikan janji-Nya. Barang siapa yang membunuh orang yang menunaikan solat Subuh, Allah SWT akan menuntutnya, sehingga Allah SWT akan membenamkan mukanya ke dalam neraka.”
(Hadis riwayat Muslim, at-Termizi dan Ibn Majah)

Sebuah nasihat untuk diri sendiri dan mungkin juga untuk pembaca budiman. Marilah kita bergegas bangun tidur apabila terdengar laungan azan berkumandang untuk segera mengerjakan solat Subuh. InsyaAllah.

Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pengasih Lagi Maha Penyayang

Aku membenteng diri dengan nama Tuhan yang mempunyai kemuliaan dan kekuatan, aku berpegang teguh pada Tuhan yang menguasai alam nyata dan alam ghaib, aku bertawakkal kepada Tuhan yang hidup dan yang tidak mati selama-lamanya. Semoga kiranya Engkau hindarkan kami ya Allah dari bala dan wabak. Sesungguhnya Engkau Maha Berkuasa atas tiap-tiap sesuatu.

Perkenankanlah.

Kalimah Allah di Langit Pantai Beserah, Kuantan, Malaysia. Bagaimana ia Terbentuk? (How Allah Kalimah Clouds were Formed?)

Sixth Post

Allah berfirman maksudnya: “Hanya milik Allah Al-Asma Al-Husna, maka bermohon kepada-Nya dengan menyebut nama itu.”
(Surah al-A’raf: 180)

1. Assalammualaikum, sahabat-sahabat sekelian. Semoga semua sihat. Masih ingat lagi dengan penyebaran di internet gambar-gambar pembentukkan kalimah Allah di langit Putrajaya beberapa tahun dulu? Kalau kita sudah lupa, atau mungkin yang tidak sempat melihat pos tersebut, mungkin sahabat-sahabat sekelian boleh pergi ke sini. untuk mengimbau kembali pos di dalam blog saya ini.

1. Assalammualaikum, my dear friends. May all are in the pink of health. Do you still remember the spread of photos over the internet about clouds formation that spells Allah in the sky of Putrajaya (Malaysia), back a few years ago? If we already forgotten, or perhaps, didn’t get the opportunity to see the photos, please click here to refresh.

2. Alhamdulillah, saya bersyukur kehadrat Allah SWT, kerana pada tahun lepas, iaitu tahun 2008, sekali lagi saya telah mendapat peluang untuk mengambil gambar pembentukkan kalimah Allah di langit. Dan pada kali kedua tersebut, ia berlaku pada siang hari, dan bukan pada malam hari seperti pada kali pertama. Pada hari tersebut, saya bersama keluarga saya sedang berada di sebuah resort yang terletak disekitar Pantai Beserah, di bandar Kuantan.

2. Alhamdulillah, my thankfulness to Allah, last year, 2008 once again I managed to get the opportunity to shoot the formation of cloud that spells Allah in the sky. And on that second time, it happened in a broad daylight, instead of in a nocturnal during the first time. My family and I were at a resort at Beserah beach, Kuantan (Malaysia).

3. Berikut adalah turutan kumpulan awan yang saya yakin telah membentuk awan kalimah Allah di langit kerana pada pengamatan saya, pembentukan tersebut adalah sangat jelas ejaannya di dalam tulisan Arab.

3. Please find the below sequence, as I am convinced that the formation has obviously spell Allah.

Turutan (Sequence) 1 - Thursday, ‎17 ‎April, ‎2008, ‏‎7:38:04 AM –

a. Saya sedar akan kewujudan pembentukan sekumpulan awan yang agak unik. Dalam hati saya berkata, alahai, tidak dapat hendak ambik gambar matahari naik hari ini. Ada awan halang matahari.

Turutan (Sequence) 2 - Thursday, ‎17 ‎April, ‎2008, ‏‎7:38:20 AM

b. Saya teruskan juga niat untuk ambik gambar matahari naik tersebut, walaupun awan tersebut begitu jelas menghalang dan melindungi matahari.

Turutan (Sequence) 3 - Thursday, ‎17 ‎April, ‎2008, ‏‎7:39:52 AM

c. Hampir seminit lebih berlalu, cahaya matahari mula memancar dengan jelas dari celahan awan. Saya masih lagi berharap untuk mendapatkan gambar yang terbaik.

Turutan (Sequence) 4 - Thursday, ‎17 ‎April, ‎2008, ‏‎7:40:32 AM

d. Pembentukan yang terbaik. Perhatikan pembentukan awan nipis sebelah atas kanan, yang membentuk tanda 'sabdu', sekaligus mengesahkan dan menguatkan lagi kenyataan bahawa, awan ini sebenarnya sedang 'mengeja' dan 'membentuk' kalimah Allah. Perhatikan kembali, tiada pembentukan tanda 'sabdu' pada turutan pertama (1) dan ke-2. Ia mula terbentuk pada turutan ke-3 dan mula jelas kelihatan pada turutan ke-4, iaitu gambar pada komposisi ini. Perhatikan juga, pembentukan huruf ‘ha’ pada hujung sebelah kiri, dari turutan pertama (1) hingga ke-4 ini. Perhatikan juga penyambungan huruf ‘lam’ yang kedua dengan huruf ‘ha’. Hebat kan?

d. This is the best composition. Look carefully at the slight cloud on the right corner above, that clearly formed the mark of 'sabdu', hence confirmed and strenghten the description that the cloud is in the intention on 'making the spelling' of Allah. Please check that there are no mark of 'sabdu' on the first two sequences. It only started to appear on the third (3) sequence and has clearly formed on the fourth (4), which is in this composition. Also note on the formation of arabic alphabet of 'ha' on the left edge corner from sequence 1 to 4. So did the formation of combining the second arabic alphabet of 'lam' and 'ha'. Amazing, isn't it?

Technical details: Please click here

Turutan (Sequence) 5 - Thursday, ‎17 ‎April, ‎2008, ‏‎7:41:14 AM

e. Cahaya matahari semakin menyerlah dan semakin menyilaukan mata saya yang memandang.

Turutan (Sequence) 6 - Thursday, ‎17 ‎April, ‎2008, ‏‎7:41:28 AM

f. Cahaya matahari semakin terus menyinar.

4. Alhamdulillah. Semoga kita semua akan terus mendapat petunjuk dan hidayahNya.

5. InsyaAllah. Amin. " )

The Package of a Miraculous Moment

Fifth Post

1. Just to heist a little of my time writing a short note here, before I proceed to keep on maneuvering my highly obligatory thesis.

2. A few days ago, I couldn’t stop thinking about being in ‘the package of a miraculous moment’, the moment where I am standing

a) at the right place,
b) at the right time and
c) doing the absolute right thing.

3. Yes, at least once in a year, I wish I could delight myself by dreaming, being in this situation. This ‘magical moment’ apparently will inspire me to keep on doing what I am doing right now. Because the moment that I have just mentioned requires a high self conscious in order to enjoy the particular ‘package’, pre-arranged by the nature.

4. The package moment that I mentioned so far, would refresh back everything in my life, and somehow, it will eventually make me feel like being at the peak of a hill, or perhaps at peak of a high mountain, while breathing the fresh air; The time where I am able to highly rejuvenate myself to the limit.

5. By the time when anybody out there who are reading this, they will not understand my point at this juncture, but wait until I elaborate it more.

6. It all started back in the year 2007. When I managed to shoot these photos. My excitement was above all. I drove my car and met the local press, trying to make it publish. My thought was to let it be shared with all the Malaysians on what I have captured. But, it was ended up in despairs when the next day, the newspapers just telling the same new stories instead of what I have intended to share at the first place. I kept on waiting for another day after, perhaps they would publish it one day delay, I recalled, before nothing about it was even published and written.

7. Nevertheless, when I post the above thread in this blog, and also share it with my uum_with_hons@yahoogroups.com members, the photos and the story was eventually had been widely spread out over the internet. Some even wrote to my e-mail, sharing the assorted feelings about the experience and, as far as I could remembered, I replied all e-mails that had entered my mail box; except one e-mail that argued over what I have accidently captured.

8. The argument was over the technical behind every photo, where it must be clearly defined and shared. Otherwise, it was all nothing more than just a normal photo incident.

9. Hence, in the year 2008, when I managed to capture another sequel of the so called being in ‘the package of a miraculous moment’, my reaction was totally different. I just pretend like nothing had happened, despite putting a lyric from one of my favorite song, which CD I have frequently played it inside my car.

10. But, until today, I just couldn’t deny myself, that these sequel had gave myself the highest impact of an extraordinary moment in my life.

11. Yesterday, Monday, 20th July 2009, about 10.30am, I was about experiencing the same ‘package of a miraculous moment’ again.

12. Hence, today I decide to refresh back everything that I have captured because, that moment has really, really last forever.

13. Oh, I need to stop now, but I promise to myself, that I will elaborate and post more of the sequel in my next post. In the meantime, I remember my old friend quote. He said, “the main recite of a Muslim is all praise is only to the Almighty Allah”, but for myself, my main recite is, "Oh Allah, my God, I am asking for your forgiveness all the time, because I am a sinful man."

14. Subhanallah, wal hamdulillah, wa lailah haillallah, allah hu akhbar . Allah is the Almighty, and all praise is only to Allah, and there’s no God except Allah. Allah is the Greatest.

15. I need to write on further on my thesis. See you soon.. " )

Extra Careful

Fourth Post

1. No doubt, I have to be extra careful this semester, which is final semester of my postgraduate study.

2. I have to remind myself that, at the edge of every phase of my study, from primary, college, until varsity, I normally would face a kind of obstacle, kind of a curse I think, that would always happen and apparently make my life miserable.

3. I recall during my primary school, after I got the result of 'Penilaian Darjah Lima' exam. At standard six, something depressed happened, until I was caught lying to my 'teaching Al-Quran' teacher about my classroom exam position.

4. So did during my college time, when I need to sit for my SPM trial, and still I could remember it clearly. Code name G-15, something terrible happened. The college management sent a telegram to my parents, until they had to come rushing to the college on the same day they received the telegram. You don't want to know how shameful standing infront of the juniors, until I couldn't feel the Zras! Zras! Zras! pain anymore.

5. It keep on continue even during on my study at the varsity, also something horrifying happened, and it was also during the end of my final year. I was jumping out of my skin, when I saw at the previous semester result, before I had to borrow my brothers' money, to pay fee, for one extra semester I had to extend.

6. I was very insensible to my environment during that time!

7. No! How could I blame any one else for the mistakes that happened, except had endurably experienced the burden while having learnt few hard knock lessons on my head.

8. No! I won't let the same mistake to crop up again this time. I am telling the whole world that I am a wise man now, instead of a gentleman I used to be. A gentleman learns from his own mistake, while a wise man learns from someone else's.

9. Oh, I am still the same person though. Sir above, it is Saturday, 4.00 o'clock in the morning and please don't let the same thing happen again to me this time. I am fully aware about those lessons now.

10. For now, I have shrewd results to remain sturdy and would like to take this opportunity to pay my honourable gratitude to my second semester lecturers.

11. Thank you very much to Professor Madya Dr. Mohamad Khan Bin Jamal Khan, Professor Madya Abdul Aziz Yusof and En. Lukman Bin Wan Daud (OSH The Journey) for the knowledge sharing and your appreciation towards our endless effort while being your students.

12. Aku berikrar, segala ilmu yang aku pelajari adalah untuk aku gunakan pada masa hadapan, dan sijil yang aku kejar hanyalah sebagai kenderaan untuk aku menuju ke destinasi yang ditujui.
(I swear, the knowledge that I am learning is meant for my future undertaking, and the certification that I am racing for is only used as my vehicle that drives me to the future.)

13. InsyaAllah. Amin.

A True Story Movie About Reinhold Messner - The World's Greatest Mountaineer

Third Post

1. Last weekend we went out to bring our kids to watch the Transformers - Revenge of The Fallen movie at Alamanda GSC, Putrajaya. I highly appreciate on the special effects created by the CGI experts, and such compliments must be given to the director, Micheal Bay for the outstanding effects.

2. There were uproars in the facebook when it was released on 24 June 2009 in the cinema. Many friends of mine in the UUM With Hons Portal have changed their ID into the robot characters name alike. Well, after all in a day work, it was indeed fun to let the kid behavior in us to take place, I guessed.

3. Two-and-half-hour movie length, which was from 5.45pm to 8.15pm had gave us full blast of astonishing special effects satisfaction, which are truly mesmerizing and I just couldn’t imagine what’s next after 'transformers', considering its amazing effects created. Perhaps next, we would be amazed by the 3D movies instead of the currently presented on the pale, flat white screen which is a little bit dreary, IMO.

4. There are grumbles about Transformers II confusing storyline, but it doesn’t bother me much, because we just want to enjoy the CGI effects at the first place.

5. Yet, I still fancy for movies which strength are based on the storyline, if it were not because of the special effects.

6. Most of the time, I favor movie which is based on a true story, as sometimes it is truly inspiring and am always impressed by how the director blends the story plot, together with the existence of loves while playing around with the audiences’ emotion.

7. Heavy drama such as ‘A Beautiful Mind’ for instance, is an amazing movie that could be watched over and over again.

The Only Obstacle

8. Count on me and how much I wish that one day, somebody, a capable best director out there, would eventually make an arrangement and direct an award winning movie which is based on the real life of Reinhold Messner- The World's Greatest Mountaineer.

Dream Camping Is Around The Corner!

Second Post

1. My MOSH colleagues, the one that usually went out for outdoors’ activities have had an ultimate target to where we should go camping one day. Perhaps it would be achieved after we had finished up the program.

2. Our aim is high. We want to go camping oversea, really.

3. Blissful Chaplie called me yesterday, telling that he already had his Nikon D60 DSLR, complete with a tripod and few lenses. So, our godfather now has also joint up the team being one of the photography enthusiast that am sure are calmly eager to shoot lots of subject.

4. Being a godfather, he must have wanted to shoot special place that offers lot of sceneries for instance. Hence, we are confident that our aim is indeed close to happen.

Mount Doom from "Lord of the Rings"

5. A friend of mine, he had just came back from visiting New Zealand last few months. His wife is a stewardess, and he has got the opportunity to do some travelling there. According to him, New Zealand is a very beautiful country that is geographically stunning with its snowy mountains, lovely animals, breathtaking landscapes, friendly people, fine weathers and most importantly, the country also offer very cheap budget accommodations to bag-packers who wants to explore the nature all over the country.

6. He also added that, it would be an honored for him to make a come back and explore more off that All Black’s country. In short, it has been known that, for international-bag-packers-to-be like us, we would be in a very comfort journey if we have around RM5,000.00 per pax, to be spent on for 7 days and 6 nights trip there, inclusive of the flight tickets, back and fourth.

7. So, now, we are in the midst of ‘kumpui duit’ to make our dream to come true. The response among us is immensely encouraging, and as long as we have our godfather, Mr. Chaplie, as our ‘guidance angel’, I believe a few photos of us, posing with bluish and snowy mountain background, would be published here in future posting one day. Not to mention of few photos of us talking, with our breath vapouring out of our mouth. No I don't think so, unless it is during winter season right? " )

8. For records, according to Global Peace Index Ranking, New Zealand has been named as top ranking for the most peaceful country on earth for 2009. For the last 3 years, it’s been maintaining its position among the top 4 ranking.

9. Cayalah. Peeeewwwwiiittt.

10. Matlamat utama yang penting ialah 'kumpui duit' dulu!
(The main important point is to do some saving first!)

Time On My Own

First Post

(Mobile Phone Photo)

Some update..

1. I still haven’t got my second semester results, and I am roiled by the delay with unintelligent reasons. FYI, results in hand can create such ‘momentum’ for a fresh start of new semester. At this junture, it is disgraceful knowing that it's been spoilt up. (Speak of the devil, my friend called me this morning telling that the result is ready for collection). Oh, what would it be?

2. My wife’s officemates say the photos I have shot during family days at Cherating were ‘okay’. But, being frankly, I could have done it better with more effects of ‘motion’ and ‘rim lighting’. These could be great experiments for my next photography session.

3. My x-ray result says my lung fields are clear apart from scattered fibrosis. Scattered fibrosis? Ishhh.. that sounds terrible man. Syukur Alhamdulillah, I am still in a good shape. The pain that stays was a consequence of a minor tissue torn when I had tumbled down during family days' volleyball game.

4. I read ‘ocean poems' and tried to write down one poem on my own. My words’ power sucks, but I still keep on reading. I wish I am a poet, (instead of I could be invisible!). " )

5. I recently temporary deactivated my facebook account. Suddenly I thought, I need to spend some time on my own. I need privacy.

6. I am unfit and have gained weight. I need to exercise moderately.

7. I have done and submitted my three months’ monthly claim. Yesss...

8. I am close to end of the semester. I need to highly focus, highly focus on few things which are;

a) Assignments
b) Thesis
c) Jobs
d) Family
e) Few close contacts (for friends update)

9. Photography is still my stress therapy.

10. Masa yang berlalu terlalu pantas, atau aku manusia yang terleka?
(Is time running out fast or am I such an oblivious man?)
