jalan

sejak 'attach' di cpf, saya asyik berjalan. menarik walaupun saya agak bosan kerana bukan saya yang memandu. semalam sahaja saya ke jitra untuk menyaksikan satu kes sebutan di Mahkamah Jitra. pertama kali memasuki ruang mahkamah. hakimnya muda sungguh. bayangan saya, hakim adalah seorang yang sudah berumur dengan sedikit uban di kepala, bercermin mata dan serius mukanya. kes itu melibatkan seorang pakcik Cina tua yang disaman atas kesalahan membawa ubat-ubatan yang tidak berdaftar dari Thailand ke Malaysia dengan tujuan untuk menjual di pasaran sini. ini adalah kes tahun 2005. pakcik itu mengaku bersalah dan atas rayuan pihak peguam pembela, pakcik yang sudah tua ini hanya dikenakan denda RM500. kalau mengikut akta sebenar, denda yang boleh dikenakan mencecah sehingga ke RM30, ooo serta penjara. sebuah kisah di mahkamah yang menarik. terima kasih kepada en zool dan mr seen leong yang membawa saya. tidak sampai sejam saya tiba di alor star, miss lau mengajak saya mengikutinya ke kulim, sungai petani dan padang serai untuk menyerahkan saman kepada individu terlibat. saman yang dimaksudkan di sini adalah surat panggilan ke mahkamah. menarik kerana ada prosedur tertentu sebelum menyerahkan surat saman. hmm, lain kali kalau tidak mahu disaman, jangan buat salah.

petang itu pula bergegas ke Sala Klasik untuk aktiviti berbuka puasa bersama housemates (terima kak azmah kerana membelanja kami.lain kali boleh belanja lagi)

p/s: malam itu, ter'syahid' dengan awalnya. (^^,)

i love poem. especially the one from my babah. he is such a good poet. every bait touches my heart. the more i read, the more i love him. here, i share one of them.

When mum says "food is ready"
They leave the study and say "eh! tak jadi"

hari gaji

hari ini hari gaji. hampir saya tidak perasan tentang berita paling menggembirakan orang-orang yang bekerjaya. mana tidaknya, minggu ini sangat sibuk. tidak sempat menilik tarikh keramat itu (^^,). ok, apabila berbicara tentang gaji, suka saya berkongsi tentang keberkatan wang gaji yang kita peroleh. perasan atau tidak, kadang-kadang kita rasa cepat sangat duit gaji kita habis, tidak sampai lagi akhir bulan. entah ke mana ia mengalir. kalau kita alirkan pada laluan yang betul alhamdulillah tetapi jika sebaliknya - tanyalah diri kembali. cuba kita tilik kembali sepanjang kita bekerja untuk tempoh sebulan itu, ada atau tidak waktu tertentu yang kita culas dengan tanggungjawab yang diamanahkan untuk kita? mungkin masa rehat yang diberikan setengah jam kita panjangkan sehingga 1 jam dan mungkin juga ada aktiviti bantu-membantu 'punch card' sesama rakan sekerja. tidak termasuk lagi mungkin ada barang-barang pejabat yang kita gunakan untuk kepentingan peribadi, malah lebih teruk lagi kita bawa pulang ke rumah. waktu solat - adakah dijaga? pergaulan sesama insani - ada batasan atau tidak? mungkin pada sesetengah orang, perkara sebegini remeh-temeh tetapi perkara halus sebeginilah yang sebenarnya boleh mengganggu-gugatkan keberkatan rezeki kita. saya teringat seorang pensyarah semasa di zaman kampus dahulu. dia sangat menitikberatkan hal sebegini. anak-anaknya selalu menggunakan kertas A4 di biliknya dan biasanya di akhir bulan atau suatu tempoh, beliau akan menggantikannya semula dengan wang sendiri. katanya, dia tidak boleh bertoleransi dalam hal sebegini meskipun 10 sen, dia akan tetap langsaikan juga. jadi, tidak mustahillah rezekinya melimpah ruah walhal orangnya biasa sahaja. mungkin di situ ada keberkatan rezeki. selain itu, katanya dalam apa jua yang kita lakukan, datangkan sifat ikhlas insya-Allah kita akan beroleh pengakhiran yang baik. jadi apa lagi? yuk kita kerja sungguh2, ibadah pun bersungguh2 juga. mencari keberkatan dalam hidup bukan mudah, tetapi cubalah. good luck!

p/s: 2 bulan lagi sahaja boleh terima gaji. huhu

hustle bustle

'a busy mind is babah's workshop'

i noticed that lately my life is so hectic. we're finishing our houseman year as a house pharmacist very soon and everybody is so busy for the 'viva' thing to complete the log book. i'm done with that. apart from those *prp stuff, i have to settle my 'further study' matters as well - scholarship forms, resignation letter to Hospital Director, writing proposal to name a few. there are no relaxing nights for sarah fazalul this coming fortnight. pheww! honestly speaking, i don't mind my time is spent on this whole thing. they kept me busy, they kept me awake and alert. i'm very excited to see the future in front of me. there are so many experiences that i have encountered along this way and i wish to experience more. O Allah, guide me. guide my family and friends as well..ameen

[tired mode]

manners

soon after i finished my methadone dispensing session, i rushed to HSB. as i expected, the parking lots were full house with cars of different colours and shapes. setting my car at gear 1, my eyes were hunting for empty space for my little bronze. my tongue kept praising for the Prophet (salawat) - it's my mama's tips. aha, alhamdulillah, i caught a space where a red MyVi was about to move out. somehow, there was a makcik from i-have-no-idea-where simply rushed to that empty space. of course lah i couldn't tolerate. honk! honk! she noted me and drove off from that valuable empty parking space. that was one story. i got a lot more. but to point out, when you're driving, please take care of your road manners. you're happy, other people is happy too. so, the world is at peace! (i'm mumbling again, antidote --> sleep mode)

p/s: i hate driving in Penang

a journey to the sky

copy from Eva Wanda

today is 27th Rejab where it’s significant to Muslims is the Isra’ Mikraj or the journey of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. from Masjidil Haram in Makkah to Masjidil Aqsa in Baitulmaqdis and then on to Sidratil Muntaha which is located on the seventh sky; and back to Makkah again, all happening in one night in the year 721 AD. It’s a year before Prophet Muhamad migrated to Madinah, an event known as Hijrah which also marked the start of the Islamic calendar of Hijrah.

It was during this journey that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. saw the original form of Malaikat Jibrail or Gabriel, the angel. It was said that the angel is so huge that when he spread one of its two wings, it will take a thousand year to completely spread one wing. It was also this journey that the five prayer times were ordered for all Muslims. It was said that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. greeted each and every one he met during the journey and so it’s been encouraged that ‘Salam’ or the longer version of ‘Assalamualaikumwarahmatullahiwabarakatuh’ (May Allah give you peace and blessings) be used as a greeting between Muslims as a show of respect and to strengthen relationships between them.

While in heaven, Prophet Muhammad was passing an area where it has the sweet aroma of small limes. The prophet asked Jibrail on the area. Jibrail replied that it’s the graveyard of Masyitah, the woman’s leader in heaven. Masyitah is the nanny of Firaun’s princess and believed in Allah. Firaun was one of the kings in Egypt who claimed to be god and would execute anyone who didn’t believe in him as a god.

One day, as Masyitah was combing the princess’s hair, the comb fall down and Masyitah cried out the name of Allah. The princess upon hearing this asked who is Allah and reported to her father that Masyitah’s god is Allah and not Firaun.

Firaun was obviously very angry when he heard this and ordered that Masyitah and her family be boiled in burning oil. One by one, Masyitah’s family member was thrown into the smoldering oil until it’s the turn of her baby. Masyitah almost denounced her faith because of her love towards her baby when the baby, with Allah’s consent, spoke to her in clear words. The baby asked her mom not to give up as she was in the right track. So Masyitah jumped in together with her baby, still with her Islamic faith intact.

There are many stories which happened during Isra’ Mikraj which should be learnt and become a basis of a reminder to us all, including myself. It was said that there were a number of punishments that befall women which made Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. cried every time he remembered these. Why women? The prophet was shown that almost two-thirds of those in hell will be women. During the journey, it was shown to our beloved prophet that:

• A woman was hang from her hair with her brain boiling. These are women who do not cover their head from the sight of men who are not their muhrim. A muhrim is a man who is not allowed to marry a woman in Islam such as the woman’s father, brother or uncle .
• A woman was hang from her tongue and her hands came out from her hip with burning oil thrown inside her throat. These are women who love to hurt their spouses with bad words.
• A woman was hang from her breasts. These are women who breast-fed without the permission from their spouses.
• A woman was tied on both her hands and legs while being encircled by snakes and scorpions. These are women who are able to pray and fast and did not seek permission from the spouses to go out from their houses and did not take the specified bath after their monthly or confinement periods are over.
• A woman who ate her own flesh with fire burning under her. These are women who love to beautify themselves for other men who are not their muhrim and those who love to talk about other people’s imperfections.
• A woman who cut her own body with a pair of scissors from hell. These are women who like to show off her jewelery.
• A swine-headed woman with her body like a donkey. These are women who like to start a fight between two persons and are liars.
• A woman shaped like a dog with snakes and scorpions entering her mouth and coming out from her bottom. These are women who are in constant anger to their spouses and lied about other people.

I know many of us have heard of the many stories during the prophet’s Isra’ Mikraj again and again but how many of us heed them and learnt from them?

+ salam Isra' Mikraj to all +

tanya diri

ada banyak perkara yang berlaku kebelakangan ini. banyak perkara yang membuatkan saya duduk dan berfikir. perkara yang memerlukan kewarasan fikiran minda dan ketelusan hati. penting sebenarnya untuk mengenali diri sendiri. mengenali siapa saya, dari mana saya, ke mana saya akan pergi, apa tujuan saya berada di sini. penting juga untuk mengetahui maksud hidup yang sedang dilayari agar pengakhirannya nanti sesuatu yang efektif. ada banyak perkara yang saya sesali tetapi biarlah saya mengambilnya sebagai intipati pengajaran hidup. kerna 'life is a lesson'. doa saya agar Allah terus memandu saya untuk berada pada jalannya, tidak tersimpang ke jalan yang lain. sesungguhnya Allah itu Maha Memelihara.

untuk saya, fikir-fikirkanlah pengertian yang ingin dimengertikan.

Accept misfortunes without dismay
Face them all and tell,
Come what may. .'
