Salam Aidilfitri 2013 - Eid Mubarak 1434H

2 Syawal 1434H bersamaan 09.08.2013

Hari ini telah pun memasuki 2 Syawal. Hari yang kedua umat islam menyambut Hari Raya Aidilfitri. Mungkin terlambat untuk megucapkannya tapi tiada kata terlambat. Semalam tak sempat nak update blog.

Sepuluh jari disusun, maaf dipinta. Sekiranya terkasar bahasa sepanjang mengendalikan blog ini, saya selaku penulis/pemilik blog ini ingin meminta maaf pada semua pembaca & mereka yang mengenali diri ini. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Maaf Zahir & Batin. Semoga kita diberi kesempatan untuk bertemu lagi dengan Ramadan seterusnya pada tahun hadapan. Insya Allah. Sekian Wassalam :)





Hope it's not too late to wish all muslim's readers a happy & joyous Eid with your loved ones. I wish to seek forgiveness to all readers out there. If by chance I ever offended anyone with my writing/updates. It was totally unintentional. As a normal human being, I'm bound to make mistakes. My apology on that. Hopefully I'm still given the chance to meet the next Ramadan.  And I pray that we all muslim's will be able to meet the next Ramadan too. Insya Allah.

Till the next time. Wassalam :)

♥ Ramadan 2013 - 1434H ♥

I know it's quite late to wish all Muslim's readers a bless Ramadan. But it's better late than never. Been pretty busy lately & do not have the time to update my blog. Today mark the 6th day of fasting in Singapore. Glad that the hazardous haze improved tremendously. Alhamdulillah for the rain that came down. Thank you Allah. Fasting had been pretty much challenging this year for me. I need to move around often as in requires me to communicate throughout the day. My throat are getting drier but I will endure the day. I love fasting despite having to endure the hunger and thirst.

Thus with this post, I will slow down in blogging, perhaps for a while. This might be my first & last post during Ramadan. Till the next time. Ramadan Mubarak. ♥




Salam Ramadan kepada semua umat Islam. Semoga Ramadan kali ini menjadi yang lebih baik dari sebelumnya. Dan ibadah & kebaikan yang dilakukan pada bulan suci ini diterima olehNya. Insya Allah amin... ♥







I include this specially written song for Ramadan sung by my favourite islamic singer, Maher Zain. - RAMADAN ♥

Intifada - Rabbani





♥ this song. Perhaps it's the only "nasyid" song that I enjoy listening to. It's been ages & I'm still loving this.

*Walaupun lagu ini dalam bahasa melayu, tetapi tertulis pulak dalam bahasa Ingeris.

No such Thing as "April Fool" in Islam!

http://www.harian-metro-online.com/fatwa-dan-hukum-menyambut-april-fools-day


Presiden Persatuan Ulama Dunia, Dr Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradhawi menyebut:

Menipu adalah satu sifat yang buruk. Ia tidak layak diamalkan oleh manusia yang berakhlak dan beriman. Bahkan ia adalah satu petanda kemunafikan. Ini kerana Rasulullah SAW bersabda : Orang munafik mempunyai tiga ciri : Dia menipu, tidak menepati janji, dan tidak menunaikan amanah. [HR al-Bukhari dan Muslim]

Rasulullah SAW memberikan amaran ke atas perbuatan menipu dengan tujuan menghiburkan manusia. Baginda SAW bersabda: “Kecelakaan ke atas sesiapa yang menipu untuk menghiburkan manusia, kecelakaan ke atasnya, kecelakaan ke atasnya.” [HR Abu Daud, at-Tirmizi, dan an-Nasai’e]

Rasulullah SAW juga bersabda: “Seseorang itu tidak dikira benar-benar beriman hinggalah dia meninggalkan penipuan yang bertujuan untuk bergurau dan meninggalkan berdebat walaupun dia membawa kebenaran”. [HR Ahmad dan At-Thabrani].

Sebahagian hadis Nabi SAW turut memberikan amaran ke atas umat Islam daripada menakutkan orang lain sama ada secara serius mahupun bergurau. Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Tidak dibenarkan seseorang menakutkan seorang Muslim.” [HR Abu Daud]

Oleh kerana itu, menipu adalah dilarang dalam apa bentuk pun. Sambutan April Fool adalah dilarang kerana 4 sebab:

1.       Larangan menipu yang sudah termaktub di dalam al-Quran dan as-Sunnah.

2.       Kesedihan dan ketakutan yang tidak berasas (yang disebabkan penipuan itu) yang mungkin boleh menimpa seseorang mahupun kesemua ahli keluarganya walaupun hanya untuk satu jam.

3.       Pengkhianatan ke atas kepercayaan yang diberikan.

4.       Meniru budaya buruk yang bukan milik kita, iaitu penipuan.

Sheikh Atiyyah Saqr pula menyatakan:

Adalah menjadi kesepakatan kesemua agama dan akal yang waras bahawa kejujuran itu satu kebaikan, dan penipuan adalah lawannya. Untuk menyatakan kebenaran, kata-katamu hendaklah menerangkan realiti, sedangkan untuk menyatakan penipuan adalah dengan menyampaikan apa yang bercanggah dengan apa yang kamu katakan mahupun lakukan. Seburuk-buruk pendustaan adalah sumpah yang palsu, bahkan itu adalah satu bentuk kemunafikan.

Penipuan adalah dilarang kecuali ia dilakukan dalam keadaan darurat. Di dalam kes tersebut, kaedah “darurat menjadikan yang haram harus” digunakan. Darurat hanya boleh diambil apabila tiada pilihan lain. Salah satu bentuk penipuan yang dibenarkan ialah apa yang kita panggil sebagai helah, iaitu menggunakan perkataan yang membawa lebih daripada satu maksud. Umat Islam mungkin boleh mengambil pemahaman yang positif daripada penafsiran perkataan (yang mempunyai dua makna) tersebut.

Diriwayatkan bahawa penipuan dibenarkan untuk memberikan manfaat, bukan untuk melakukan kerosakan. Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Seseorang yang mendamaikan di antara dua insan dan berkata perkara yang baik, walaupun ia tidak benar, bukanlah seorang penipu.” [HR al-Bukhari dan Muslim].

Ummu Kalsum binti ‘Uqbah turut berkata, di dalam tambahan lafaz ke atas hadis itu, “Aku tidak pernah mendengar Rasulullah SAW membenarkan menipu kecuali di dalam tiga situasi iaitu ketika perang, untuk mendamaikan di antara dua pihak yang bertelagah, dan perbualan biasa antara suami isteri.” Apa yang dimaksudkan dengan perbualan biasa antara suami isteri ialah untuk meredakan kesusahan di dalam kehidupan.

Sheikh Shalih Fauzan menyatakan :

Penipuan adalah tidak dibenarkan langsung, pada bila-bila masa sahaja. Bahkan adalah tidak dibenarkan untuk meniru orang kafir dan menjadi seperti mereka, sama ada pada hari April Fool, mahupun pada hari-hari yang lain. Ini kerana Rasulullah SAW bersabda: “Barangsiapa yang menyerupai sesuatu kaum, maka dia sebahagian daripada mereka.”

Berdasarkan fatwa-fatwa di atas, kita mendapati bahawa budaya April Fool jelas bertentangan dengan ajaran Islam yang menuntut umat Islam sentiasa bersifat jujur.


An explanation in English:

Extract from:

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters
Yes it is, because of the origins of April Fool's Day, OR because you would be lying, OR because you would be imitating the Kuffar. OR all three.

This is one version:

It was around a thousand years ago that Spain was ruled by Muslims. And the Muslim power in Spain was so strong that it couldn't be destroyed. The Christians of the west wished to wipe out Islam from all parts of the world and they did succeed to quite an extent. But when they tried to eliminate 
Islam in Spain and conquer it, they failed. They tried several times but never succeeded.

The unbelievers then sent their spies in Spain to study the Muslims there and find out what was the power they possessed and they found that their power was TAQWA. The Muslims of Spain were not just Muslims but they were practicing Muslims. They not only read the Quran but also acted upon it.

When the Christians found the power of the Muslims they started thinking of strategies to break this power. So they started sending alcohol and cigarettes to Spain free of cost. This technique of the west worked out and it started weakening the faith of the Muslims in particular the young generation of Spain. The result was that the Catholics of the west wiped out Islam and conquered the entire Spain bringing an end to the EIGHT HUNDRED LONG YEARS' RULE OF THE 
MUSLIMS in Spain. The last fort of the Muslims to fall, was Grenada (Gharnatah), which was on the 1st of April.

From that year onwards, every year they celebrate April fools day on the 1st of April, celebrating the day, they made a fool of the Muslims. They did not make a fool of the Muslim army at Gharnatah only, but of the whole Muslim Ummah. We, the Muslims, were fooled by the unbelievers. They have a reason to celebrate April fool day, to keep up the spirit.

Dear brothers and sisters, when we join in this celebration, we do so out of ignorance. If we had known about it, we would never have celebrated our own downfall.

So now, that we are aware of it, and now let us promise that we shall never celebrate this day. We should learn our lesson from the people of Spain, and shall try to become practicing Muslims, never to let anybody weaken our faith NOR FOOL ( OR MAKE A FOOL OF ) US ANY MORE.

And even if not because of it's history, lying is Haram. Joking is considered lying also if it isn't true (unfortunately probably all of us still do this). Even if you were to feel content with just "joking", it is a Kafir "celebration", so by celelbrating it, we are imitating the Kuffar. We are supposed to separate ourselves and set examples with our actions, not drop ourselves to the level of the Kuffar. Our objective is to do Dawah by our actions, and this can't be done if we are blending in and adjusting our lifestyles with the Kuffar.


Personal View:

All this while, I never knew that being involve in playing a prank in April Fool is against Islam. I only came to know about this matter yesterday by "accident". I log into my twitter & in the "timeline" there's a debate on this topic regarding this issue. Curious, I google up to know more about it. There's where I came to know and shared this info from the articles that I read. For the benefit of everyone, I decided to include the explanation in both languages, english and malay.  Sharing is caring, so why wait? Share it among our Muslim's brothers and sisters..

p.s: No more pranks starting from today onwards :)

Till the next time. Cherio peeps! :)

A Lonely & Quiet Night

It has been a while since I last blog... 22 days past real quick... I'm writing in bed... What a quiet & peaceful night... Everyone seems 2 b asleep except me... Am i like a night owl??? I should have gotten some sleep but I just couldn't... Too many worries in mind... About 30 more days to exam & this is driving me "crazy"....

Too be honest, what I'm feeling right now is very "lonely", "kesunyian", "kesepian"... Any more words to describe???? I'm confused... Sometimes I just feel that I need someone by my side...

Aku tahu bahawa hanya allah sahaja yang tepat untuk dijadikan tempat mencurahkan segalanya tapi kadang2, ake rasa aku memerlukan seseorang untuk berkongsi cerita... I need someone by my side... A life companion perhaps... Tapi sampai sekarang, aku belum menemukan orang yang tepat untuk dijadikan "teman hidup"....

Tak lama lagi,aku akan memasuki gerbang usia yang ke 20 tahun... Tanpa disedari, masa berlalu dengan begitu pantas sekali... Harapan aku di usia ini, aku akan dapat mencapai sesuatu dalam kehidupan ini... Berjaya di pelajaran, secure a job in the industry & insya allah segera dipertemukan dengan "jodoh".... Since jodoh itu di tangan allah, aku hanya mampu untuk berserah... Memohon yang terbaik darinya itu sudah menjadi satu kemestian...

Sepertinya sekarang ini hujan sudah pun menurun dengan lebat sekali... What a heavy rain & I'm still focusing to write since I can't sleep... Perhaps this will be my longest post...

Since I can't sleep, let me just set up a criteria for my "dream guy"

He must be a "muslim" cos religion is the most important factor....

1. Someone with a good sense of humour will attract my attention... Yup I like a guy who can joke around & most importantly can make me laugh...

2. Don't get too serious cos that will make me bored... But know when to be serious... Be serious at the right time... Seorang yg penyabar...

3. I'm an easy going person... Always try my best to be relax... I hope the same too for "him"

4. An honest person.. Senantiasa berterus terang if something is not right... Any problem,let's solve it together..

5. Give & take is a must... Sikap bertolak ansur & mengalah.. Understanding each other behaviour... Everyone makes a mistakes but it's not wrong if we give in once in a while 4 his/her happiness...

6. Can accept me the way I am & not forcing me to be someone else... Menerima aku apa adanya tanpa memaksa aku untuk berubah menjadi org lain... Menerima kekurangan & kelebihan masing2...

7. Pls i hate a guy who force me to do this & that.... I don't like 2 force anyone so pls don't force me to do something which i don't like....

Finally, I really hate a guy who uses force towards a lady... I hate violence... When this happens, my attraction towards him will be automatically gone just like that... Additional to that, I hate cigarrette smokes... So stay away from me when you are smoking!!

That's a simple criteria right??? I'm not a demanding person you see... I just wanna feel comfortable when I'm with him.... Overall hygiene is the most important factor. It's the only thing that I shall judge based on his outer appearance.

A guy with a good looks will be a bonus for me... Who can resists a good looking guy... Aku tak munafik... Aku juga ingin memiliki pasangan hidup yang mempunyai paras rupa yang kacak... Tapi rupa yang tampan saja tidak cukup untuk menjamin perhubungan yang kekal... It will be great if we can get a guy with both good attitude & looks as well... Alangkah indahnya jikalau ada lelaki seperti itu... Tapi cuma allah yang mempunyai jawapan itu... Ku berserah segalanya kpdnya...
