Gosh I really hate myself for restrain myself from writing. Somehow writing keeps track of yourself. I sometimes forgot how I felt, until I read again of my previous posts. How different can I be from what I left behind?
Ok enough with the merepeks...
Straight to my point. I wanted to share my series of thoughts today. Hari ini saya (amboi tau plak berbahasa melayu) telah membuat satu game best. Game bertanya pendapat akhawat menegenai isu ' Akhawat dan Insensitive'. Insensitive di sini maksudnya kurang peka terhadap perasaan orang lain. Saya bertanya pendapat beberapa orang, kerana isu ini menjadi isu berbangkit hal-hal mengenai hati dan ukhuwwah sesama kita.
Saya sgt merasakan bahawa seorang akhawat tidak boleh tidak, harus mempunyai sifat ini. Paling tidak, melazimi supaya beliau mempunyai sifat ini. Manakan tidak, dia hidup dengan perempuan, yang kadang2 kita tak boleh jangka emosi dan sensitivitinya.
Kami bersembang isu ini, macam mana ia nya terjadi and how to deal with it. Macam2 pendapat keluar.
Kemungkinan, seorang akhawat mempunyai sifat insensitif sb beliau sgtlah tidak kisah akan hal-hal remeh temeh. Lalu, beliau menyangka ianya tidak akan menyebabkan orang lain terasa. Walhal, beliau tidak layak berfikiran sebegitu, sebabnya, lain orang lain perkara yg bakal menyinggung perasaan mereka. Lagi parah, beliau seorang yang sangat sensitif, tapi jiwa sendiri tidak sensitif terhadap orang lain.
Pening?
Ye saye juge pening. All in all, what I am trying to say is, kita tak boleh expect apa yang kita buat tidak mempengaruhi akhawat kita. Kadang-kadang kita tak aware, sebab kita bersangka baik sangat dengan semua orang. Kita sangka semua orang sentiasa berada dalam hamasah yang tinggi, tak kisah langsung hal remeh tamah. Di sini kita silap. Fitrah seorang manusia adalah berperasaan, beremosi dan iman(juga hamasah) turun naik. Kita tak boleh predict kalau kita buat macam ni, akhawat ni tak akan terasa punya sebab dia faham. Tapi kita lupa, sebab dia faham la kita kena rajin jaga hati dia. Sebab kita akan selalu jumpa dia, hidup dengan dia, kerja dengan dia, mintak tolong pada dia. Macam-macam....
Selalu, kalau terjadi virus-virus ukhuwwah macam ni, kita lazim mendengar nasihat yang sama. Yakni, kita kena reflect balik niat. kenapa kita di jalan ni. kalau kita ikhlas, kita tak akan terasa. kalau kita nak, memang kita kena byk berkorbah perasaan. Berlapang dadalah.....
Ya nasihat ini sangat benar. Tapi saya sangat risau dengan nasihat ini. Kita kalau selalu sgt dok cakap macam tu, takut sangat kalau2 ada yg sampai lupa nak improve perangai/cara/habit so that kita tak menyinggung hati akhawat kita. Ini parah kalau kita dah tahu akhawat kita tu ada masalah kalau ada certain benda yg akan buat dia rasa marah/bengang/sakit hati.
Tapi lagi parah, kalau akhawat A yang membuatkan akhawat B terasa, adalah kalau si A sangat insensitif. Dia dah buat si B terasa marah/bengang/sakit hati, tapi tak sedar yang dirinya adalah punca si B marah/bengang/sakit hati. RUnsing.... ini parah sebab si B akan makan dalam. Lalu,berbekas di hati....
Ini lagi bertambah parah, kalau si B menjauhkan diri dari tarbiyyah kerana terasa hati dgn si A. Sangat parah!!!
Nauzubillah hi min dzalik....
Ini isu yang tak boleh dikupas berdasarkan ilmu sains. Ini isu jiwa. Saya juga selalu takut, kalau2 pernah melakukan sesuatu yang menyinggung sesiapa. Sehingga orang itu cakap tak nak dah.
Runsing... harus berusaha nasihat menasihati. tapi ini kes kompleks. Wanita sungguh.... sangat.. KOMPLEKS.

It's been ages since my last entry. I could not explain or come to terms why on earth I stop writing. Often,(no perhaps always is more suitable) I thought of writing whatever come to my mind during the day, or work, or spending time with friends and families, yet, none of them appeared here. You should not know why.
Reading my beloved friend's blog when she posted a new entry yesterday, I felt I wanted to say the same thing. She wrote about her new phase of life. Yes, we all have phases in life. Phases and cycles we have to bear until the last breath is taken from you. Yes.
And now I am reading her entry, and felt familiar with the feeling. One year ago, I was there, I once had felt how she is feeling right now, how to feel unbelievably graduated at last. A degree in hand, yet so empty to start with. Fear. Timid. That was, a year ago....
And how I missed being a student. so much!
Till one day I took a day off, and went to Monash, stayed in the library. Searched for informations which now seem more relevant than the last time I've been there. Bizarre, isn't it?
So, there is a good news. Maybe a year later I am a student again. Well, when I met new people, they usually guessed that I am still studying, so, I still have the look, people. Haha...
We'll see what lies ahead and how Allah turn it out for me. Pray for the best to happen. In life, there is always steps for you to take. And this time, I am taking a step forward, writing again.. I'm back...
p/s: We are still students in Universiti of Tarbiyyah.....;)
How to memorize the Quran

I am fascinated with such an amazing website. A guy dedicates himself to teach others Quranic Arabic to master and understand Quran for FREE. He gives so many tips, shares it on his blog and hoping that he could achieve his goal this year that 1000 muslims can learned Quranic Arabic.
But this time I wanted to share tips he wrotes on the blog about how to memorize quran easily. For students, this is really helpful. For those who has joined the workforce, we could still find our ways to follow the tips well.
This hifz technique was taught by the Algerian Shaykh Zakariya al-Siddiqi who teaches at the Institute of Human Sciences in France and is one of the foremost scholars of Quran today.
He memorised it by the age of 9 and dedicated his life to studying and teaching it, and he once told us the story of one of his friends. His friend was an engineering student, who was a ’Fresher’ about to embark on a 5 year degree. Let’s call him Ahmed…
Ahmed was an intelligent student who followed one of the oft-forgotten Sunnah’s of Success…
Quran Memorization Tip 1: Wake Up Early
He woke up earlier than most people. In fact, he woke up on time to get to the Mosque to pray Fajr every day. When he got home from the mosque, instead of busying himself with the internet or watching television, he spent the first few minutes of each day memorising the Quran.
Quran Memorization Tip 2: Each Day Memorise Less Than You Think You Can
Ahmed made a firm commitment to memorise the Quran, but instead of rushing in and trying to memorise one or two pages each day (like his friends who gave up before long), he confined himself to learning 5 lines per day.
This worked out to be about 20-30 minutes per day for him.
Quran Memorization Tip 3: Get Familiar First
In order to overcome the initial unfamiliarity with the new verses, he spent the first few minutes each day actually writing out the 5 lines of that day onto a small sheet of paper.
He spent the next few minutes reciting them over and over, and then attempted to memorise them.
Quran Memorization Tip 4: Keep Today’s Verses Close At Hand
As Ahmed went about his day, he often found that he had a few chunks of time – several minutes each. During these times, such as waiting for the bus, or waiting for a teacher to turn up to a class, Ahmed would try to remember the 5 lines from that morning.
To aid his memory, he kept the sheet that he wrote out that morning folded in his pocket, and would pull it out if he was struggling.
Quran Memorization Tip 5: Use What You Memorise In Every Single Salah
To further support his memory, every prayer he prayed that day, he would recite the same 5 verses of Quran that he learned that morning. In each aka’, he would alternate between the 5 lines from that day, and the 5-10 lines he learned the previous days. And remember…
Quran Memorization Tip 6: Keep Track Of Your Goal
With the Uthmani script of the Quran, there are exactly 15 lines per page. So, by the end of the week, Ahmed had not only memorised 2 whole pages of the Quran, but he had written them out in full, too… a very blessed act if ever there was one.
Quran Memorization Tip 7: Perfect Your Tajweed As You Go
On the weekend, Ahmed would visit a local scholar of Quran recitation, and would revise with him the 2 pages he had just memorised, and have a go at the 2 pages he would be working on the following week. This way, he was certain to learn the Quran with accurate tajweed and beautiful recitation.
There was one other secret to Ahmed’s success.
The Spiritual Secrets Of Successful Memorisation…
Once a week, on a weekend evening (usually on a Friday night), Ahmed would wake up in the middle of the night, and pray Tahajjud. During his special Tahajjud prayer, Ahmed would recite the whole two pages he had learned that week, and consolidate them.
At this point, the Shaykh mentioned that perhaps one of the reasons so few people manage to wake up and do this special prayer, which is highly recommended by the Quran and by our beloved Prophet (saw), is that we don’t have anything to recite.
We have so little Quran memorised that there’s no fun or enjoyment in the challenge of waking up for Tahajjud, and we often find even the fard prayers a ’chore’ instead of a pleasure.
The Results…
You can imagine Ahmed’s excitement and feeling of achievement and success 3 months after he started, when he had memorised the entire 1st Juz!
It’s not just the feeling of success and empowerment that the Quran gave him, but also the deep connection with Allah (SWT) he felt every single day.
You can only imagine how proud he must have felt of himself, when upon graduation Ahmed not only received a 1st class degree in engineering (he was 3rd in his class), but he had also officially memorised the entire Quran. He was a hafidh.
Shaykh Zakariya pointed out a final lesson from this blessed brother.
The biggest achievement he made was not to memorise the Quran. The biggest achievement he made was to be deeply connected with the Quran every single day for 5 years.
That connection with Allah (SWT) is what made Ahmed so special. That deep link with the Creator is what keeps life in perspective and is what helped Ahmed to keep on track with the little weekly targets he set for himself.
One can only imagine what happened to Ahmed’s levels of personal fulfilment, Iman and taqwa, as he went back every single day to develop this ritual of ihsan (spiritual excellence). Each day he woke up for Fajr and wrote out another 5 lines of Quran, his self-esteem and self-confidence soared…
