Ramadhan ne chal raha hai...

Tak berapa hari je lagi, ramadhan akan pergi meninggalkan kita. Bagi kami, kenangan berbulan puasa di Tanta Mesir ni insyaAllah tak akan dilupakan. Ini adalah ramadhan pertama kami bersama selepas berkahwin. Puasa dan sahur bersama memang seronok. Hari-hari keje pk nak makan apa utk berbuka :D

Then, kadang-kadang kami pegi Maidah Rahman utk berbuka. Maidah Rahman adalah tempat berbuka puasa percuma yang di sponser oleh orang-orang arab yg budiman disini. Di Tanta ni ada satu Maidah Rahman yg dikhususkan utk pelajar Malaysia Indonesia Thailand. Seghonok jugak bila dapat berbuka bersama. Kadang-kadang ada ikan goreng, daging dan ayam panggang. Semoga Allah SWT membalas jasa baik mereka yg "mensponser" Maidah Rahman utk kami, amin!
.....................................................................................................

Teringat time ramadhan di Jamiah Darul Quran, Faisalabad Pakistan. Time tu belajar hafiz (ambik pakka). Kami bersahur dengan roti capati dicicah dengan yogurt satu pinggan. Kadang-kadang ada apple, kadang-kadang ada icekrim (makan icekrim time sahur ditengah-tengah musim sejuk). Dah ada orang sponser, makan je la kan? eheh.

Setiap kali sahur, kami dikejutkan dengan naat (semacam puisi atau nasyid) mengenai Ramadan dan kelebihannya. Budak kecik je bace, best! Terjemahan naat dia lebih kurang macam ni :

Kuch kar li er musalma, Ramadhan ne ara ha hai...
( Bangun lah wahai orang-orang islam, sesunguhnya Ramadhan telah datang..)

Malam selepas tarawikh kami akan membaca 2 juzuk berdiri (lebih kurang 1 jam berdiri) di tengah-tengah padang di pertengahan winter. Kata ustat, tu utk praktis supaya tak takut membaca didepan orang. Wallahu A'lam.

Selepas tu pulak, kami kena habiskan 15 juzuk satu malam sampai ke pagi. Jugak dalam sembahyang (sunat Mutlak, 1 juz 2 rakaat). Maknanya 2 hari 30 juzuk. Tu tak campor imam tarawikh lagi (27 hari 30 juzuk). Banyak kan?

Memang letih, tapi bila teringat balik rase seronok pulak time tu. ehehe.

Tak ingat sangat berpuasa di New Town Karachi, Pakistan. Maybe sebab time tu balik berpuasa di Malaysia kot. ehehe. But 8 years kat Pakistan, memang banyak cerita ;)
.........................................................................................................

Tak tahu la bile pulak nak datang ke perlembahan nil ni, tambahan pulak di bulan ramadhan. And lepas ni, tah dimana pulak kami time ramadhan. Maybe di korea? jepun? spanyol? Makkah atau di semenanjung Malaysia? eheh.

Wallahu Alam!

Kerja kosong utk mutazawwijin di Kaherah.

Tadi ada seorang kawan Arab, kawan kepada my father and penah ke Malaysia. Dia islam dan alhamdulillah baikk sangat. Dia ada tanya sapa-sapa terutama mutazawwijin ( yg dah kahwin) yang nak kerja di rumah dia. Kerja biasa, jaga hadiqah (pokok bunga) kat rumah dia dan si isteri boleh la menolong isteri dia jaga anak atau buat kerja rumah. Dia kata ada rumah kosong dekat rumah dia dan dia akan bagi gaji. Gaji nanti sembang dengan dia. Rumah dia di 6 October Kaherah. Kalau boleh dia nak start lepas raya.

Jadi kepada sesiapa yang berminat bolehlah menghubungi saya melalui Yahoo Mesengger atau email : yehmaster@yahoo.com / atau tiggalkan komen dibawah atau di chat room.

( Kalau nak call direct ke arab tu pun boleh, nanti mintak no hp kat saya)

Salam Ramadhan dan Salam Aidilfitri.
Mari bekerja !

Maidah Rahman

Yesterday we bukak puasa at Maidah Rahman again. Memang sedap, and thats why we pegi lagi and maybe akan pegi lagi. Shukran utk pakcik yg sponser iftar.

Di mesir, tak seperti di tempat kita yang punya la banyak makanan yg pelbagai jenis. Bazar Ramadhan yg bertebaran di seluruh pelusuk bumi di negara kita memang la cukup banyak. Dalam 30 hari Ramadhan kita boleh makan 30 hingga 300 jenis lauk pauk (takde la banyak macam tu, tu saje je nak tunjuk kate banyak, ehehe). Memang kami rindu nak berjalan-jalan di bazar ramadhan di Malaysia. Di mesir ni tak ada bazar ramadhan macam yang kat tempat kita. Makanan dewang pulak hanya ada beberapa jenis shj. Seronok merasa dan makan di tempat orang, tapi kadang-kadang boring jugak la kan. :D

And yesterday jugak, kami pegi jumpa Dr Duha. Dia lambat datang, kami terpaksa tunggu hampir 2 jam di klinik. Dr buat scan and chek my little sunshine punye blood/urine test and dia kata "very good result". Alhamdulillah. Our baby is now 2 month old. Semoga Allah swt permudahkan segalanya bagi kami. Amin..

Seorang kawan bagitau yang control dah keluar. Rasanya natijah pun tak lama lagi. Berdebar jugak la nak tunggu natijah ni. Hope everythings fine and dapat najah dengan mumtaz, amin!

Ok, that all for today. Akhir kata :

;) Selamat berpuasa!

Lailatul Qadr : The Night Of Power.

Its excellence is great, since in this night the Noble Qur'aan was sent down, which leads one who clings to it, to the path of honour and nobility, and raises him to the summit of distinction and everlasting life. The Muslims who adhere strictly to the Sunnah of Allaah's Messenger SAW do not raise flags on this night, nor suspend colourful decorations. Rather they vie in standing during it (Lailatul-Qadr) in Prayer out of sincere faith and hoping for reward. Here, O Muslim, are the Qur'aanic Aayaat and authentic prophetic ahaadeeth referring to this night:

* Its excellence

As regards its excellence it is more than sufficient to mention that Lailatul-Qadr is better than a thousand months, He, the Mighty and Majestic, says:

" Verily! We have sent it (this Qur'aan) down in the Night of Decree (Lailatul-Qadr). And what will make you know what the Night of Decree is? The Night of Decree is better than a thousand months. Therein descend the angels and the Rooh (i.e. Gabriel) by Allaah's Permission with all Decrees, Peace! until the appearance of dawn." (Al-Qadr 97:
1-5)

And in it every decreed matter for the year is conveyed, He, the Most High says:

" We sent it (this Qur'aan) down on a blessed Night. Verily, We are ever warning (mankind of Our Torment). Therein (that Night) is decreed every matter of ordainment. Amran (i.e. a command or this Qur'aan or His Decree of every matter) from Us. Verily, We are ever sending (the Messenger). (As) a Mercy from your Lord. Verily! He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower." (Ad-Dukhaan 44: 3-6)

* When is it?

It is reported from the Prophet SAW that it is within the twenty-first, twenty-third, twenty-fifth, twenty-seventh, twenty-ninth or the last night of Ramadhan.

Imaam ash-Shaafi'ee, rahimahullaah, said: To me it is as the Prophet SAW used to answer according to the question posed, it would be said to him: "Shall I seek it in such and such night?" So he would reply: "Seek it in such and such night." And Allaah knows best. (Reported from him by al-Baghawee in Sharhus-Sunnah)

The most correct saying is that it occurs in the odd nights of the last ten nights of Ramadhan and this is shown by the hadeeth of 'Aa'ishah, RA, who said: "Allaah Messenger SAW used to practice I'tikaaf in the last ten nights and say: 'Seek out Lailatul-Qadr in the (odd nights) of the last ten days of Ramadhan." (Bukhari, Muslim )

However if the servant is too weak or unable, then he should at least not let the last seven days pass him by, due to what is reported from 'Ibn 'Umar, who said: Allaah's Messenger SAW said: "Seek it in the last ten, and if one of you is too weak or unable then let him not allow that to make him miss the final seven." (Bukhari, Muslim)

This explains his, SAW saying: "I see that your dreams are in agreement (that it is in the last seven) so he who wishes to seek it out then let him seek it in the last seven." (Bukhari)

It is also known from the Sunnah, that knowledge of the exact night upon which Lailatul-Qadr falls was taken up because the people argued, 'Ubaadah ibn as-Saamit, RA said: The Prophet SAW came out intending to tell us about Lailatul-Qadr, however two men were arguing and he said: "I came out to inform you about Lailatul-Qadr but so and so, and, so and so were arguing, so it was raised up, and perhaps that is better for you, so seek it on the (twenty) ninth and (twenty) seventh and the (twenty) fifth." (Bukhari)

Some ahaadeeth indicate that Lailatul-Qadr is in the last ten nights, while others indicate that it is in the odd nights of the last ten, so the first are general and the second more particular, and the particular has to be given priority over the general. Other ahaadeeth state that it is in the last seven - and these are restricted by mention of one who is too weak or unable. So there is no confusion, all the ahaadeeth agree and are not contradictory.

In conclusion: The Muslim should seek out Lailatul-Qadr in the odd nights of the last ten: the night of the twenty-first (the night before the twenty-first day), the twenty-third, the twenty-fifth, the twenty-seventh and the twenty-ninth. If he is too weak or unable to seek it out in all the odd nights, then let him seek it out in the odd nights of the last seven: the night of the twenty-fifth, the twenty-seventh and the twenty-ninth. And Allaah knows best.

* How should a Muslim seek Lailatul-Qadr?

One who misses this blessed night then he has missed much good for no one misses it except one from whom it is withheld. Therefore it is recommended that the Muslim who is eager to be obedient to Allaah should stand in Prayer during this night out of Eemaan and hoping for the great reward, since if he does this, Allaah will forgive his previous
sins.

He SAW said: "Whoever stands in (Prayer) in Lailatul-Qadr out of Eemaan and seeking reward then his previous sins are forgiven." (Bukhari)

It is recommended to supplicate a great deal in it, it is reported from 'Aa'ishah, RA that she said: "O Messenger of Allaah! What if I knew which night Lailatul-Qadr was, then what should I say in it?" He said: "Say: Allaahumma innaka 'affuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'annee." (O Allaah you are the one who pardons greatly, and loves to pardon, so pardon me.) (at-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah)

O brother! You know the importance of this night, so stand in Prayer in the last ten nights, in worship, detaching oneself from the women, ordering your family with this, and increasing in actions of obedience and worship in it.

From 'Aa'ishah, RA who said: "The Prophet SAW used to tighten his waist-wrapper (izaar) - (meaning detached himself from his wives in order to worship, and exerted himself in seeking Lailatul-Qadr), spend the night in worship, and wake the family in the last ten nights." (Bukhari, Muslim)

From 'Aa'ishah, RA: "Allaah's Messenger SAW used to exert himself in the last ten nights more than he would at other times." (Muslim)

* Its sign
[Many people believe in all sorts of superstitions about Lailatul-Qadr, and false beliefs from them are that the trees prostrate, and buildings sleep! And these things are clearly futile and baseless.]

Allaah's Messenger SAW described the morning after Lailatul-Qadr, so that the Muslim may know which day it is. From Ubayy, RA who said: that he SAW said: "On the morning following Lailatul-Qadr the sun rises not having any rays, as if it were a brass dish, until it rises up." (Muslim, Abu Dawood, at-Tarmidhi, Ibn Majah)

From Abu Hurairah, RA who said: "We were discussing Lailatul-Qadr in the presence of Allaah's Messenger SAW, so he said: 'Which of you remembers (the night) when the moon arose and was like half a plate?'" (Muslim) [Qaadi 'Iyaad said: "It contains an indication that it was towards the end of the month - since the moon does not appear like that when it arises except towards the end of the month."]

From Ibn 'Abbaas, RA who said: Allaah's Messenger SAW said: "Lailatul-Qadr is calm and pleasant, neither hot nor cold, the sun arises on its morning being feeble and red." (at-Tayaalisee, Ibn Khuzaimah, al-Bazzaar with hasan isnaad)

Let us seek abundance rewards from our Creator by performing extra actions in these last few days of the noble month of Ramadhan as it could be our last...

New Look!

Ehehe..macam hampeh!

Well, new skins. Cube nak get a new look. Resfresh la kot. :D

Skin yg lama cantik, tapi agak gelap. Lalu membuatkan browser agak lembab nak upload. Yg ni kasi fresh sikit. Light colour. Dark bagi je kat Batman ;)

( i still love The Dark Knight! )

Tadi baru lepas tengok "10 things i hate about you ". Yea, memang Heath Ledger sangat sesuai dengan watak The Joker. And another thing, script dia pon power. Pandai la dia bawak kan!

Cameron: She never wanted me. She wanted Joey the whole time.
Patrick: Cameron, do you like the girl?
Cameron: Yeah.
Patrick: Yeah, and is she worth all this trouble?
Cameron: Well, I thought she was, but you know, I...
Patrick: Well, she is or she isn't. See first of all, Joey is not half the man you are. Secondly, don't let anyone ever make you feel like you don't deserve what you want. Go for it!

(Ni ayat sebelum jadi The Joker. Macam joker kan?-me)

*********************************************



Gotham National Bank Manager: The criminals in this town used to believe in things. Honor. Respect. Look at you! What do you believe in? What do you believe in!
The Joker: I believe whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you... stranger.

(Bukan bank manager tu baru lari dari souna jail ke? oh, tu prison break ek?)

The Joker: You just couldn't let me go could you? This is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. You truly are incorruptible aren't you? You won't kill me out of some misplaced sense of self-righteousness, and I won't kill you, because you're just too much fun. I think you and I are destined to do this forever.
Batman: You'll be in a padded cell forever.
The Joker: Maybe we can share one. They'll be doubling up, the rate this city's inhabitants are losing their minds.

Batman: Where is Dent?
The Joker: You have all these rules and you think they'll save you.
Lt. James Gordon: [Batman slams the Joker against a wall] He's in control.
Batman: I have one rule.
The Joker: Then that's the rule you'll have to break to know the truth.
Batman: Which is?
The Joker: The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules. And tonight you're gonna break your one rule.
Batman: I'm considering it.
The Joker: No, there's only minutes left, so you're gonna have to play my little game if you want to save one of them.

My wife agak demam hari ni. Dah masuk hari ke-2. Tapi alhamdulillah dah nampak semakin sihat. Semoga cepat sembuh dan sihat, amin!

Bulan-bulan puasa ni agak malas nak keluar rumah pegi pekan atau berjalan-jalan di siang hari. Summer pun belum habis lagi. Jadi duduk dirumah menjaga isteri adalah option yg paling selsesa. Disamping tu boleh tolong menolong membuat kerja rumah. And, boleh buat terjemahan 2/3 buku. Alhamdulillah.

Now masa yg semua student tasfiah penin menunggu. Result utk imtihan tasfiah baru ni, taktau la bila nak keluar. Nampak gayanya macam lepas raya. Harap-harap la pas semua. Amin!

Ok, that all. Nak makan sahur pulak. Sebelum tu, jom baca cerita...

Lord Of Ramadhan.

Lord Of Ramadhan from Cotu. A song which has english, turkish, german and arabic lyrics. I really like this song. Thanks!

Ramadhan di Tanta Egypt, seperti hari-hari ramadhan yang lepas. Kebanyakkan masjid ketika solat subuh agak ramai dari hari biasa. Macam di masjid kami, budak-budak pun datang ke masjid time subuh. Oleh kerana malam yg tak berapa panjang (disebabkan musim panas) ditambah pulak dengan cuti sekolah (tak lama lagi nak bukak dah) jadi kebanyakkanya tak tido malam sampai ke sahur. Jadi selepas sahur semua boleh datang solat berjamaah di masjid. Best kan?

Baru-baru ni kami keluar ke bandar Tanta utk mencari Fanoos (lampu ramadhan bagi orang arab mesir, gambarnya ada di post yg lepas). Memang teringin sangatnak beli bawak balik ke Malaysia. Tak kisah la walaupun kecik, tapi kenangan kan. Nak bawak balik yg besar memang tak muat la. Kalau di hotel-hotel atau kedai-kedai selalunya dewang letak lampu yg lebih besar dari kami berdua!

(Gambar tak dapat nak diupload disebabkan masaalah internet yg "taktau-kenapa-jadi-begitu". ) ehehe.

Satu kedai ke satu kedai kami pegi cari lampu fanoos di sekitar Tanta sampai la ke mane tah yg kami sampai. Tapi, rupe-rupenye fanoos ni hanya dijual sebelum ramadhan sahaja. Dan paling last dewang jual pun sampai 10 ramadhan sahaja. Now, tak ada walau satu kedai pun yang jual fanoss di Tanta ni. Tensyen jugak la kan. :(

Ade la yg jual pelita yg kecik dan cantik. Di perbuat dari besi tembaga. Yg original la katakan. Tak boleh letak lampu, cuma lilin je (kata pelita kan). Harganya? satu tu LE50. Memang mahal melampau la kan. Tu pun kecik je, besar tapak tangan je. Hiks!
Kat hussain pun jual LE 25 tau!

Last-last balik dengan tangan kosong. Rasanya di Hussain (Cairo) ada lagi kot fanoos lebih-lebih. Tempat tu tempat pelancong, selalunya ada lampu-lampu macam tu. Memang la mahal sikit, tapi situ je yg ade. Bile tanya arab kat Tanta ni mana boleh dapat? dia kata : " sanah gai insyaAllah ". ( Tahun depan dengan izin Allah! ). huh!

........................................................................

Hari ni tak berapa sihat sikit. Demam dan selsema. Maybe sebab pertukaran musim. Sekarang pun takde la panas sangat. Kami pun keluar rumah petang atau lepas tarawikh saja.

Bazar-bazar di Tanta pun semakin rancak bulan ramadhan ni. Kedai-kedai di sekeliling Masjid Badawi yg menjadi tumpuan penduduk Tanta ni memang penuh sesak. Baju-baju utk sambut Aidil fitri, kasut-kasut utk anak-anak, coklate-coklate yg berkilo-kilo (kalau kat tempat kita, kita buat kuih raya. Kat sini coklate, manisan dan gula-gula ni la kuih raya dewang) dan macam-macam lagi makanan dijual ditepi-tepi dan tengah-tengah jalan. Memang betul-betul tengah-tengah sampaikan orangnak berjalan kena berjalan di tepi jalan. :P

Bila time nak berbuka, ramai la yg jual air tamarhind dan sobia. 2 kaler air ni je yg selalunya dijual di bulan puasa ni dengan berleluasa. kale lain tu, ada tapi tak banyak. Macam kat tempat kami ni (syariah) memang penuh la orang membeli kat pakcik jual air tu. Kaya la pakcik tu.

Mama atas rumah kami ni pun baik. dibaginye ayam, kurma, beras, gula, kuih manisan dan lain-lain. Best sungguh berjiran dengan mama ni. yumyum.

Kami, macam biasa. Selalu pk nak masak apa hari ni utk berbuka. Kalau kat Malaysia, ada 30 hari ramadhan, ada 300 jenis lauk pauk boleh pilih nak makan. Kat sini takde choice. Kena mencuba resepi baru baru ada kelainan. Kat kedai luar ada makanan tuuuu je. eheh.

Bagi pelajar Malaysia Indonesia Thailand, kat sini ada Maidah Rahman utk mereka. Maidah Rahman adalah tempat orang-orang arab yg budiman menjamu mereka yg ingin berbuka puasa. Pendek kata makan free la. Baik sungguh arab ni ye. Yg di Tanta ni selalu dia bagi zakat kat pelajar-pelajar asia ni. Berapa banyak la pahala dia dapat. Bestnye..

Setakat sekarang kami tak pegi lagi. Dengar kata ada ayam panggang. Kadang-kadang ikan dan daging. Siap boleh tambah. InsyaAllah nanti free kami pegi.

...............................................................

Lastly, thanks to bro cotu dengan lagunya yg best. Jom kite tgk konsert dewang kat Frankfurt.

Assalamualaikum!

Alhamdulillah, imtihan tasfiah telah pun tamat hari ni. Fikh Mazhab cuma ada 4 orang saja yg bawak. 2 ghaib dan tinggal aku sorang yg ambik Syafie dan sorang lagi budak arab yg ambik Hanafi. Kire macam ustaz buat soalan utk aku sorang je. ok x? :D

Kami terpaksa join bebudak arab yg ambik Usul Fikh. Seperti biasa, ada budak kena halau keluar sebab meniru. Arab kan..

Budak melayu ada 3/4 orang lagi. Dewang ambik usul. Sebenarnya, tak pasti pulak dewang melayu ke atau Thailand. ehehe..

Masa keluar kuliah, nampak ustaz tengah melepak kat depan pintu masuk Syariah. Tu pun aku dah jauh ke depan baru nampak dia. Nampak relax je dia ha. Tak jadi nak pegi salam dengan dia takut nanti dia tanya lagi soalan yg takde dalam kertas soalan. :P
...............................................................................................................

Hari ni rasa sedikit kurang sihat. Maybe disebabkan perubahan cuaca yg semakin nak masuk winter. Pagi and malam pun dah terasa sejuk-sejuk sedap. Lepas ni kena sedia Flurest la bebanyak.

Sebenarnya baru lepas tengok The Dark Knight. Memang best! Ade-ade je idea sijoker tu. Lagu and bunyi dia pulak buat suspen je banyak. Patut la dewang takut nak bawak anak-anak tgk Dark Knight ek? Tabik joker!

.............................................................................................................

Terima Kasih buat isteri tersayang yang bersusah payah menyediakan sajian berbuka dan bersahur utk suaminye yg tengah sibuk menghafal dan memahami isi kandungan kitab sepanjang minggu berimtihan ini. Pahalanya hanya Tuhan yg tahu. Sedapnye dia masak (terutama sekali kuih keria) memang tiada tandingan. Macam nak suruh hari-hari dia buat kuih keria. ehehe.

.............................................................................................................

Ok, Thats all for today. InsyaAllah selepas ni banyak cerita menarik menanti.
Make doa for my xzam!
