Lailatul Qadr - Ramadhan 1433

Bismillah.

On 20th Ramadhan..
Finally, we have reached the last ten days of Ramadhan. It's time for us to find the only night of Lailatul Qadr. There are still 7 more juzk for me to finish reading the whole Holy Quran. I wish I could 'Khatam' the Quran in time. And Oh, do Allah accept all my deeds and prayers? O' Allah The Merciful, will you forgive all my previous sins?

Hadith on Lailatul Qadr :
Narrated By Abu Huraira : The Prophet said (sallallaho alaihay wa aalaiyhee wa sallam), “Whoever established prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven; and whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven.” Volume 003, Book 031, Hadith Number 125. Sahih Bukhari.
 

Shawal is getting near..parents and relatives are busy with 'Raya' preparation. However, we should not miss the chance of finding the night of Power which is called the 'Night of Qadr'. Let's do Qiamullail, encourage all your family members and friends.

Hadith on Lailatul Qadr :

‘Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that when the last ten nights began Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) kept awake at night (for prayer and devotion), wakened his family, and prepared himself to observe prayer (with more vigour). Book 006, Hadith Number 2643.Sahih Muslim 

In every month, there're days which Islam do not allow woman to pray and read ayah from the Quran but with certain conditions. We could only meet the chance of finding Lailatul Qadr once a year during Ramadhan. And of course, I don't want to miss the night of Power. So, what I did is; I get up as usual during 'sahur', along with the others. While they are performing the optional prayer such as Tahajud, Taubah, Hajat, Witir, etc., I sat facing to the Qiblat and start to mumble Zikrullah, Selawat, Istighfar and recited Dua'. As simple as that. :) Set your alarm clock, remind your friends to wake you up. Let's do it! We do our best!

Here are the signs of Lailatul Qadr :


1. The sun rises early in the morning without rays.
2. Rain may fall either during the night or during the day of that night.
3. During night the sky will be lightly foggy.
4. The sky will be slightly lighted without reflections and without rays.
5. The angels and Jibraeel a.s., all descend down onto earth . (of course we cant see the angels and Jibraeel a.s., but this is a great blessing that Allah swt revealed in the Quran , that they descend..so think about the night , (i.e. either 21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, or 29th)that in one of those nights , the angels along with Jibraeel a.s. will descend on earth..and truly that night is “peace” until the rising of the dawn.)

Allah swt forgive our sins and bless us in this month of Ramadhan and choose us to witness the 'Night of Power', the most precious night of Lailatul Qadr..Ameen

Du'a during Lailatul Qadr :
اَللَّهُمَّ اِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ ، تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
 O Allah You are The One Who forgives greatly, and loves to forgive, so forgive me. [at Tirmidhi]


Wallahu'alam

Cita-cita = Ambition

 

Bismillah..
Duk menyibukkan diri kat laboratory ni,
Tiba-tiba teringat cita-cita sendiri, *fuh..fuh.. tiup2 dah berhabuk dah word 'cikgu' ni*

Saya nak jadi CIKGU!! TEACHER! USTAZAH!

Mohon IPG sebaik tamat SPM= tak berjaya, subjek sains tak ckup syarat
Diploma TESL kat UDM= berjaya, tp kena dgr ckp mak masuk blaja matrik dulu
Mohon pendidikan kat UPSI= MEDSI lepas, kantoi time interbiu
Mohon biasiswa pendidik time kat USM= salah bajet time jawab exam
Habes study USM, KPLI dibekukan= makanya nak mohon pn takda chance
Audit NKRA bhgian pendidikan= learn something on the reality of jadi cekgu, knal rmai PPD seluruh negara but still tak bleh buat ape
Mohon guru ganti kat PPD KL= well, agaknya borang dah recycle kot buat kertas baru

There, you see..it's not easy.
But inshaAllah, kdg2 tu dah hampir tp still jauh lg.. itulah UJIAN.
May Allah show me the way :) Sekarang, just redha.. jadi guru anak-anak sendiri pun ok jugak. As a back up plan, cita-cita lain adalah nak jadi suri rumah yang Solehah, taat Allah & Rasul, taat suami, jadi contoh yang baik buat anak-anak. The least that i can do.. Teringat kata-kata kak pya, nak blaja sampai PHD (higher level) tp nak jadi suri rumah bleh tak?? Anyway, for me..is not a bad thing though, it's rather good for your children's future. [I'm a full time Mother & Wife]. Nice tag line~ ke3 As a bonus, maybe I should considering the idea of having my own business at home, boleh bantu kurangkan beban suami. Tapi business ape yer? Anyway, ianya Sunnah..saya ada seorang sahabat yang berniaga kecil-kecilan dari rumah and her business is quite a success. Apa yang bagusnya perniagaan ini ialah objektif perniagaannya salah satu adalah untuk berdakwah. Beliau menjual tudung labuh dan niqab. :) Nice bukan. Too ambitious am I? But for me, it's not wrong. It rather helps you to be prepared in making the right choices.

Cakap pasal isteri2 ni, saya sebenarnya masih belum berkahwin..tapi, diatas adalah sebahagian planning kehidupan saya. Yang penting sekali, hidup ini biarlah mendapat keberkatan dan Keredhaan Allah swt agar wujudnya Mawaddah, Sakinah wa Rahmah di dalam sebuah keluarga Muslim itu.

Last but not least, selama ni duk 'follow the flow', bila plak lah nak make the plan flows according to the way i want. ke3 Biiznillah. Ikhtiar..ikhtiar sampai habes ikhtiar, inshaAllah you surely get what you want. It's just a matter of time. Bersabar lah wahai diri, kalo tak dapat apa yang kita impikn, surely Allah has prepared for you much..much better plan ahead :) Yakinlah dan bersangka baik terhadapNya. Pesanan buat diri yang lemah lagi kerdil.
