27th day of Ramadan

The campus is quiet now but Dr Rahman and Dr Ismail and I had a very productive meeting.Mudah2an apa yang kita rancang dimakbulkan Allah.


 Last night (around 4 am), Nik kejut I ajak solat tahajjud and tasbih .We slept late semalam (Z came back late from her iftar with her school friends and me from my community meets ADUNs/Councillors iftar.We exchanged our iftar stories.Nik jadi moderator.Haha.Tidur lewat).Pukul 4 am dah bangun.3 hours' sleep je.Wough..memang perlukan kekuatan.Tasbih is done in pairs (makna kata ada 4 rakaat semuanya).As I prayed, I said this to my heart in between the surah and tasbih: sujudlah kau O hati, rukuk lah, obey God, obey God.Wough..tak biasa buat memang rasa liat (4 am is the best time to sleep!).Like Math, practice will perfect it.

Lepas Subuh (which we did immediately after all those solats), hujan turun.Oh rahmah! (but I went to sleep again sebab ngantuk lepas tu woke up at 9 am.Lambat! Had to send my mom to her dialysis in Gombak).Nasib tak jam. Phew!

Please God, no more iftar outside di hari2 terakhir bulan yang indah ini.

Tazkirah

Syukur alhamdullilah for this evening's tazkirah.Amat sangat luarbiasa.It's by this chartered accountant who one day went to Makkah and doa agar dia boleh hafal Quran dan faham apa yang dibaca.And he got it at age 30... Menjadi hafiz at 30 dan menjumpai kaedah how to do it, wrote a book and teach people how to be hafiz (dah 100 students in his class in Ampang).He also went to Al Azhar to study.MasyaAllah, cara applikasi Quran to life dia sgt menusuk kalbu.He said manusia yg masuk syurga ini hanya satu golongan yakni mereka yg bertaqwa.Apa makna taqwa? Compliance with rules of Allah.To do that you kena faham Quran.To faham Quran you kena tau Arabic.Nak tau Arabic cara pintas is to learn it through belajar Quran.You need to know vocab dlm the first 3 juz je to understand 80% of the Quran.

Dia ada satu buku motivasi called You are the best (tajuk je English..tulisan Melayu..ayat tu dia ambik dari surah Baqarah tak silap.We bought the book.InsyaAllah nanti saya baca, saya kupas di sini but please register your name here.Nanti saya tutup balik blog ni kpd lalu lintas awam.I do not want to be on a reality show...apa saya buat semua saya tulis dan semua orang baca.Atas langkah2 keselamatan jua.Sorry yah?)

Satu contoh yang menyentuh hati was when he said the call for prayer ibarat boss kita panggil kita meeting.Takkan kita nak jawab, tunggu dulu I'll see you at a later time.Ibarat Allah kata jom kita meeting jam 1.30 pm.Takkan kita nak kata waktu zohor tu panjang so I'll meet you at  4 pm.Terasa kurang ajar melengahkan waktu begitu yah?

He said (nama dia Dr. Mohd Shafie Md Amin) if we got out of Ramadan tak faham apa kita baca dlm solat kita or Quran kita,kita fail...khatamlah sepuluh kali pun.Ibarat org baru masuk kerja.First week baca SOP, second week pun gitu.Third week pun baca lagi..masuk 4th week Boss pecat saying aku employ kau bkn suruh baca SOP.Suruh faham and do.Begitulah juga kita.Umur 7 tahun baca Quran.15 tahun pun baca Quran.40 pun baca.60 pun masih membaca.Tapi Allah tak pecat kita tapi sendiri mau ingat...apa action kita buat seperti tuntutan Allah dlm Quran.Apa dakwah kita.Apa kita buat utk kesejahteraan dunia dan akhirat.

Byk lagi...semua buat kita berfikir tapi saya nak tidur.Nanti nak kena bangun.Nik ckp nak buat 3 jenis solat....O hati..sujudlah, rukuklah, patuhlah..jgn buat keras tergolek dog gitu.We have two nites je ni.
