"Ayat-ayat cinta"….itu lah tajuk buku yg baru aku selesai membacanya. Dlm masa 2 hari aku telah dpt menghabiskan buku itu.
Sungguh menarik…3-in1, kenapa 3-in-1?..sebabnya di dlm buku itu ada kisah mengenai agama islam, kisah kehidupan social orang2 mesir dan kisah cinta suci antara seorang suami terhadap isteri2nya dan cinta terhadap khaliqnya iaitu Allah s.w.t.
Aku memang tidak gemar membaca buku novel melayu, tetapi setelah mendengar pujian dan rekomendasi yg tinggi dari ukhti ku, Ikhlas, maka tergerak hati ini utk membacanya.
Sungguh benar kata si Ikhlas! Buku ini sangat menarik, dari mula aku baca hingga akhirnya, jiwa ku dibawa pergi ke negeri Mesir, Cairo dan rasanya tidak ingin ku berhenti membacanya.
Tapi sayang, setiap permulaan akan ada pengakhirannya.
Muka surat yg terakhir, aduh! Sungguh ku tak dpt sekat airmata dari berlinang keluar kerana begitu mendalam cintanya seorang hamba pada khaliqnya dan vice versa.
Buku ini membuat ku ingin sekali atau mendambarkan rasa cinta yg ada pada Maria, isteri kedua Fahri. Walaupun mulanya seorang agama nasrani namun dia suka membela agama Allah s.w.t dan menghafal beberapa surah Al-Quran. Dengan hatinya yg ikhlas, maka dia telah dipilih Allah s.w.t. untuk menjadi penghuni syurga.
Bukankah itu yg kita idam-idam kan?.....
Dari buku ini juga, banyak ilmu agama Islam yang telah dapat ku pelajari. Sungguh tidak ternilai ilmu-ilmu yang kudapati ini.
Syabas pada penulis sebab telah dapat dgn izin Allah s.w.t. menerbitkan sebuah novel yang sesuai dibaca oleh semua tidak kira berapa usia mereka.
Di bawah ini, adalah sebahagian sedutan yang amat ku gemari dari buku tersebut :
1) Maria berkata pada Fahri : "Aku saja yang Koptik boleh merasakan betapa indahnya Al-Quran dengan alif lam mim-nya. Kurasa rangkaian huruf2 seperti alif laam miim, alif laam ra, haa miim, yaa siin adalah rumus-rumus Tuhan yang dasyat maknanya. Susah diungkapkan maknanya, tapi keagungannya boleh ditangkap oleh mereka yang memiliki cita rasa bahasa Arab yang tinggi."
2) Barangsiapa yang menyakiti orang dzimmi, dia telah menyakiti diriku dan barangsiapa menyakiti diriku bererti dia menyakiti Allah.....(m/s 46) (Hadith Nabi s.a.w.)
3) Puisi : Bidadariku, Namamu tak terukir, Dalam catatan harianku, Asal usulmu tak hadir, Dalam diskusi kehidupanku, Wajah wujudmu tak terlukis, Dalam sketsa mimpi-mimpiku, Indah suaramu tak terakam, Dalam pita batinku, Namun kau hidup mengaliri, Pori-pori cinta dan semangatku, Sebab, Kau adalah hadiah agung, Dari Tuhan, Untukku, Bidadariku.
dan yang paling ku suka....pada muka surat 489.
Kalau mahu tahu kenapa aku paling suka?....sila baca buku ini....

Every muslims are encourage to have good akhlaq as it is a very important topic in Islam.
Consider that the Prophet s.a.w. once said that "The only reason I have been sent is to perfect good manners.""
In the Holy Quran, Surah Al-Qalam, Allah revealed that "And indeed, you are upon a noble conduct, an exemplary manner (Al-Qalam 68/4).
This exemplary manner is high akhlaq. One of the things that Allah s.w.t praised the Prophet s.a.w for was that he had good akhlaq (good manners) . This shows the importance of good akhlaq.
Allah s.w.t describes the Ibaad-ar-Rahman, the servants of Allah, as those who lives life with humility and humbleness. These people are not arrogant. Such are the characteristics of the believers. Allah hates arrogance in all of its forms. Allah hates kibr and pride in all of its forms.
Good akhlaq is part of the advice that the Prophet s.a.w. would give as quote from a hadith that he said to Muaz r.a. : "Fear Allah wherever you are, follow up an evil deed with a good deed, and meet with the people, interact with the people, with good akhlaq."
In another hadith a person had came up to the Prophet s.a.w and asked him for some advice. The Prophet s.a.w responded: "Be firm, be perseverant, be straight in your following of Sirat al Mustaqim. Let your akhlaq be good to the people."
The Prophet s.a.w. also said: "The best blessing that a person can be given in this life is akhlaq."
Good akhlaq is far greater than any wealth, status, family and children, found in this world.
In another hadith he said: "Mankind has not been given anything better than good akhlaq."
Who amongst us fasts every single day and prays every single night? Nobody. Yet, if we have good akhlaq we can reach the level of the person who does this.
In another hadith the Prophet s.a.w. mentioned that the reward for one who is a musaddat, a person who is always trying to fill in the gaps between other Muslims by being social, friendly, and having good akhlaq will reaches the darjat as-sawwam al-qawwam."
Sawwam is the one who continually fasts and the qawwam is the one who continually stands in prayer. So the Muslim who is very social, has good akhlaq, and is fulfilling the rights of his brothers reaches the level of the one who continually fasts and prays just because of his good akhlak. This is the way that we can earn extra thawwab.
Also in another hadith, the prophet s.a.w. says "The people (or the Mu'mins) who have perfected their iman most perfectly, are those who are best in akhlaq."
And in another narration: "The best of the Mu'minin are the ones who are best in their akhlaq."
In one hadith, the Prophet s.a.w. said: "Allah is beautiful and loves beauty, and He loves noble akhlaq (ma'ali akhlaq) and He hates, he despises lowly characteristics."
That is why the opposite is also true. When a person becomes of a coarse heart, of a vulgar nature, always criticizing, always arrogant, always being sarcastic, always looking down at people, a person does not wish to be around him. These are the people whom Allah s.w.t hates, no matter what they call themselves, no matter how much they fast and pray.
So for us who wants to be near to Allah and His Prophet, remember this saying from our Prophet s.a.w. :
"Those of you who will be closest to me on the Day of Judgment will be those who have the best akhlaq."
Cultivating good akhlaq is easy and difficult at the same time. On the one hand it is easy because you do not have to spend a lot of time and money, but on the other hand, it is difficulty because you have to control yourself; keep yourself in check and guard yourself.
In finding this middle path to good akhlaq, it is very important to avoid two extremes. Some people, and alhamdulillah this is very rare amongst the Muslims, but common amongst the non-Muslims and other religious movements, emphasize akhlaq more than their worship of Allah. You will find that the Christians say, "Oh, as long as I'm good to them, as long as I show peace and harmony to society and culture and nature, then it doesn't matter, even if I commit major sins or shirk, as long as I'm good to everyone else."
So this person has taken the akhlaq of mankind and given that in preference to the worship of Allah. If a person leaves the wajib, for example the five prayers, then do not think this person is going to enter Jannah just because he smiled at his brother. The fact that he left the prayer is a major sin and in fact it might be a type of kufr to leave the prayers. Yet, a person might trivialize it on the pretext of, "Oh, I'm being good to other people and that is what's most important." No, you must perform the wajib that is required of each and every muslims.
It does not matter what they say or what labels they put on themselves. If a person has bad akhlaq, if he is arrogant, vulgar, and foul-mouthed, then this is not a person with strong iman. If people do not want to be around him, and he is always criticizing everybody else, then this person is not a person with strong iman. This is the other extreme. You have to avoid both of these two extremes. The middle path is that we worship Allah, the way that He deserves to be worshiped and also to have good akhlaq with all the Muslims.
That is why it is important to have akhlaq along with knowledge, because knowledge tells you what to do and when to do it. Without knowledge, a person will not know how to act in every single situation. Accordingly, the Prophet s.a.w. said:
“The best of you in Islam, the best of you that have converted to Islam, are the best of you in akhlaaq as long as they have knowledge.”
Without knowledge, akhlaq is not that powerful. But when a person combines knowledge and akhlaq, then this is the height of iman.
Wassalam

Just a few minutes ago, I was crying my heart out....cryinggggg...missing my dear late mother. All this was triggered by the sad korean drama I was watching. Suddenly, I remembered that the first and last gift that I had ever given to my mum was just a pair of cheap slippers...less than $5.
But dat slippers make her sooo happy. She was soooo touched that I bought it for her. I could not afford to buy anything expensive cos at that time I had just finished O level and was working part-time at the National Library.
So as I was crying my heart out, my 3 curiosity lil gals at home came in and asked why I cried. So I related to them the story and to my shocked my 2nd doter suddenly oso cried....saying she missed her grandmother. I was very very surprised cos all my gals had never met my late mom. Surprised and touched that she would cry for her grandmother whom she had never met!
Right after that, I was besieged my lots of questions about their grandmother. What can I say to them?.....except that their grandmother was one of the most kindest woman ever. She looked strict but her heart ....ohhh! she had a heart of gold. Never say no to anyone who needed help. Always ready to sacrifice for her family.
Great was her love that my late brother-in-law who even though he was ill with cancer insisted on visiting my mom when she was hospitalised. Mother-in-law and son-in-law love for each other had grown stronger each year until he cared for my mum more than his own mother. Afterall he was her first son-in-law and she had regarded him as her own from day one!
My mom used to massage for women who had given birth and even took catering for weddings. She had her fair share of people who cheated on her but she always take it with a smile.
I miss my mum....I want my mum....can't wait to see her again in the hereafter. In fact, during the period after her death....I always prayed that Allah s.w.t. would allow me to be one of the first to follow her soon after her death just like Siti Fatimah r.a. followed our dear Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.
All I ask is that whether I die young or old, please Allah...allow me to die as your believer. Allow me to die as a muslim and have Your Mercy and Compassion surrounding my soul!

Ya Allah…..dengarlah rintihan hambu-Mu
Aku yang mendambakan percikan cinta-Mu
Engkau Tuhan Maha Pengampun yang Azali
Mengetahui dosa yang memburu diri ku ini
Sonata nafsu berkali-kali berlagu dalam diri
Sedang akal dan hati kelu mengadapkan diri
Berjuta-juta dosa telah banyak kusesali
Namun begitu aku tetap degil mengulangi
Ya Allah….dengan perasaan yang amat malu
Aku mengadapkan diri ku yang hina kepada-Mu
Maka sudilah Engkau tetap mengampuni ku
Tanpa rasa jelak dan putus harapan pada ku
Nikmat iman dan takwa yang ku buru
Hanya dapat kurasai dengan izin-Mu
Hidup dan mati ku serahkan pada-Mu
Meletakkan seribu harapan di tangan-Mu

Maimunah.....
Berdiri seorang gadis di atas bumi
Keberkatan makna nama yang diberi
Membawa takwa dan iman di hati
Itu lah bekalan dan santapan ukhrawi
Maimunah gadis yang berkarisma
Seorang insan di bawah naungan Ilahi
Bertekad tinggi dia untuk menjejaki
Langkah sang ummi yang mithali
Maka bercita-cita Maimunah kini
Untuk menerbit biografi ummi
Sekilas doa ku buatmu ya ukhti
Agar terkabul semua hasrat di hati
Yand will you fufill my dream this summer?
