A barakah day that begins with the wetness of a beautiful sky. Still remembered a powerful reminder by an ustaz, "Do raise your hands and pray to Him when it rains. Take the opportunity to talk to Him as rain means full of barakah". So do take the opportunity to make doa when it rains ya. What a beautiful Friday, alhamdullillah.
While studying for my coming paper, heres a zikir by Hijaz on my replay mode =)
Can't wait for tomorrow to update this post...akhaa...Ya Allah...while busy doing the portfolios..Selawat playlist was on the replay mode...After solat asar, continued with the portfolios...While listening to the selawat, suddenly the islamic tip top popular addictive nasyeed song :) 'Ya Hanana song' was heard next..So I minimized the portfolio and took the time to watch the video clip from Cinta Masjid (Malaysian group). While busy watching and reciting the nasyeed along, my eyes, let me emphasized with my both feet crossed and head stuck out near to the lappy's screen,(Ya Allah so the ladylike hee) I saw a VERY familiar face... Ya Allah my heart twinged...I knew him...He was my crush during those days akhaha...
I couldn't figure out his name..I was thinking Hafiz ahhhhh Azmi......All wrong...and I couldn't remember which boy band group was he from...Fabulous cats??? Phyne Ballaz (which I don't know how to spell:P)...I just need to know his name!! So I scrolled down and read the comments and there I saw the familiar group's name!! RUFFEDGE!!! And it turned out his name was AMER!!! (haaaa after googling the group's biodata in wikipedia). Can't get enough of him (in a sense I can't get enough of knowing what happen to him after those 'glamorous' days), I searched his name Amer Munawer in YouTube...and there I bumped into numerous videos about his new life and new 'music' which is Islamically inclined...
Masha'allah the reason I am soo excited to update about him...is not because I am still INTO him..:P (ps: he's married:) alhamdullillah.. It's because Ya Allah I am speechless for gooood reason...Syukuran alhamdullilah he is blessed with an opportunity to change and influence others through his new genre of music...and guess what?? His nasyeed songs now are way better...with all the praises for Him and reminders of our beloved Prophet...<3 Alhamdullilah..what a blessing day..to learn and know of a person's hijrah to a better life...for the life dedicate to Him and the worldafter...Subhanallah...All praises to Allah the Almighty...
Heres a video of him with a group call Al-Mawlid. Song entitled 'Cahaya Seluruh Alam'.
Heres his single - 'Seluruh Mahabbah' - the song focuses on the hardships, sacrifices and the love of our Prophet.
May Allah ease our affairs to be a better Muslim/Muslimah and to always remember about the worldafter and death which is always near...in shaa allah...amin ya rabbal alamin...
Miss those moments when the kids in the Malay class took the tyme each day before lesson commence to raise our hands to pray "Ya Allah, jadikanlah kami budak yang baik dan cerdik" Amin!!
Oh so I miss them, the moments and teaching Malay of course.
Last week, went to City Square (JB) with (bow.bow & baby) - my favourite gals:). Went to the popular and was searching around for Malay stuff for the tuition kids back at home. Upon searching, I kept on stumbling into Preschool Malay books! Oh my....I didn't realize that much I have missed teaching Malay:(. I would be willing to give up my position now and teach Malay. Had requested for that in my current place but was rejected due to my qualification to teach the core subjects. huuhuuu. Sincerely really miss being a 'Cikgu' :(
Anyway just wanna share that even though if we are 'stuck':) working in a non-Islamic organization, do pretty please keep in mind that we always have a part to spread dakwah. For myself, I've always reminded myself to remind my kids to 'clean' themselves after using the toilet, to not forget to recite their dua before eating and to always eat with their right hand. Without realizing, the little things that we do affect their everyday lives and also the people around them.
It's their Chinese friends who are at times remind the Muslim children to recite their dua during the snack time. And there was this Muslim boy in my class whom previously could not recite the dua before eating properly was able to do it now! And when he accomplished to recite the dua on his own without his peers' assistance, he came straight to me and recite the dua! These little things that Allah had shown me makes me thankful and always grateful to Allah for providing me the opportunity to spread dakwah.
In'shaa allah may we be given opportunities, regardless how small it is, to spread dakwah. Allah is the Greatest and He Knows the Best:).
Let's don't forget to selawat to our dearest Nabi Muhammad s.a.w...heart heart heart....
