My Ramadhan Checklist

bismillah~ 

Ramadan is like a blessing. and it finally comes. Ahlen Ahlen ya ramadan. I am excited, because this is the perfect time to boost our iman, aite? ;)

so here's a checklist that you guys might get interested in doing so. 

 

1. Eat, drink and be moderate

Almost all of us do it - once Iftar time hits, we just keep plowing food and drink into our mouths till it's hard to move afterwards. And those of us who do it know this is totally contrary to the spirit of Ramadan, through which we're supposed to learn self-control not self-indulgence. Let's try to stick to the Prophetic rule on eating: fill our stomachs with one-third food, one-third water and one-third breathing space, even in Ramadan.

2. Give a JD a day in charity... or nus or rube3

The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, was always generous but even more so in Ramadan. Let's open our hearts and dig a little deeper in our wallets this year. Even less than a dollar a day adds up. Whatever you can give, it's the intention that counts.

3. Memorize 4 new surahs

Memorizing the Quran often seems like a daunting task. But the key is doing it in small bites. Since there are four weeks in Ramadan, try to memorize one new Surah a week. Start off with a short, easy one. Once you've started, you'll build momentum and may even want to memorize a longer one the following week.

4. Go to Taraweh prayers

Post-Iftar, the first urge is to sleep after an exhausting day. But try your best to head out to the mosque for Tarawih prayers. Praying alone is wonderful, but doing it in congregation is fantastic. The community spirit is part of Ramadan's blessings. Don't miss it this year. If going every day is not possible, try going at least one week.

5. Attend the Tarawih prayer in which the recitation of the Quran will be finished

Call the local mosque and find out which day the Imam will be finishing the recitation of the Quran in prayer. Attend to not only hear part of the Quran's recitation in prayer, but also participate in the heart-rending Duas that follow it.

6.  Stop swearing and/or backbiting – with a special box

It's hard not to shoot our mouths off when someone's upset us. Whether we utter those four-letter words or backbite about someone to our family and friends, we know this isn't the God-approved way of letting off steam. In Ramadan, when we want to build our spirituality, we've got to wage Jihad against our bad habits.

Try this: get a box and every time you catch yourself swearing or backbiting put some money in it. It could be a JD or less. The point is to choose an amount that makes it feel like punishment.

At the end of the month send the money to a charity or buy a gift for the person whom you've backbitten the most against.

7. Call/email your relatives

You'd think that given the easy access to email, competitive long-distance calling rates, phone cards, etc. these days, we'd keep in touch with family and friends more often. But the opposite seems to be the case, as we get caught up in life's "busyness."

Strengthening ties with family members and keeping in touch with friends is part of our way of life and an act Allah is very pleased with. This Ramadan, call family and friends or at least email them a Ramadan card and ask them how their fasting is going.

8. Go on a 'technology diet'

Even if you work in the IT industry, you can do this. Avoid checking personal email and surfing the web during your fast. After Iftar, instead of plopping yourself in front of the screen, go to Tarawih. The same goes for the television. The point is to try to give our full attention to spiritual elevation this month.

9. Read 5 minutes of Quran a day...just five, not more, not less (Oke,ahli-ahli PERMAI mampu buat lebih dari ni kan? InsyaAllah)

Even if you feel you've got absolutely no time, set a timer or the alarm on your cell phone and find a relatively quiet place. You can read the first page of the Quran you open or follow a sequence. The choice is yours. The point is simply to connect with God through His revelation in the month of the Quran.

10. Forgive everyone who has hurt you

Still got a festering wound from the fight with your friend last year? Still upset about something your spouse said during a heated argument? Or are you still bitter about the way your parents sometimes treated you as a kid? Let go of the anger and pain this Ramadan and forgive those who have hurt you. Forgiving someone is not only good for the body, but it's also great for the soul. And in Ramadan, ten days of which are devoted to Allah's forgiveness, shouldn't we lesser beings forgive too?

If you find it very difficult to forgive everyone, forgive at least three people.

This is just a part from thousands of things that you can do to make your Ramadhan more meaningful and special.

Lily & Oken

bismillah~

lily and oken: first day beli

hi hi. we meet again guys. see those little-cute-of-something? hehe, tu ikan2 yg sy bela skng. name dia LILY (assuming it's a female) and OKEN (and he's a male. well this is just assumptions i made based on their behaviour)

lily yg polka dot tu. oken yg mcm bendera usa tu. huhu. ms br beli ikan ni, tgh smgt tgk cte hannah montana =_=" so smgt ltak name ikan2 ni smpena watak2 fevret dlm cter tu =_=" (ye sy tau bunyi kurang matang =.=")

oken on the very left, lily on the very right. they spiced up the series, seriously ;)

ikan ni, nk dkat sebulan gak la sy jg. dia ikan kacukan, kira, mcm bahan eksperimen, yg dicampur2kan gene bla3, terhasil lah ikan ni atas keizinan Allah. kire ikan jenis ni, korg xjumpa la dlm lautan atau sungai. "penghasilan" ikan ni pn dpt tentangan dr segi ethics snanye. kalau nk tau lebih lanjut, sile la google: bloody parrot fish- a fish with small mouth, awkward pattern of swimming, etc

my very first ikan warna warni. i only bela ikan laga aka beta fish before. btw look at those mouth, muach2. haha.

ms kat kdai, diorg duduk dlm aquarium besa, ramai2, hidup elok je. tp yg sy beli ni, diorg asyik gaduh, or maybe lebih tepat, buli. si lily tu aggresif sgt, suke buli oken yg xmelawan ni. huhu. tensen gak tgk ikan kte gaduh kan? org nk mating kn dia biar dpt baby fish, gaduh plak diorg. ish3.

skng ni, tpakse asingkan diorg. demi kemaslahatan masing2. sbb nye si oken cedera parah ='(

igt nk upload gmbr dia, tp xsmpai hati, korg pn akan terkejut kot. huhu. 

kdg2 rs bersalah, sb ayah sy pnah ckp, kalo xleh nk jaga ikan tu elok2, lepaskan dia. jgn bg dia terseksa. WUU ayah! im so sad!! kalo sy nk lpaskan ikan ni pn, sy xyakin dia akan bahagia, sb air jordan xsehat. chlorine sgt3 kuat. n kt tmpt sy tinggal ni, mane ade sungai atau lautan terdekat? plg dkat pn laut mati. lagi la ikan2 ni tak leh hidup. gila ape.

n latest news, pagi td bgn2 tdo je, tgk si oken terbaring kat dasar scare horizontal. OMG. rs nk nangis da tgk dia cmtu. mati2 igt dia da mati?!?!?!?! skali ble perhati lame2, insang dia gerak2 lg, tbe2 dia berenang2 blk, i was like, "oken did u play dead?!?!" ish3. kejam btl. tp ape pun bersyukur sb dia hidup lg. 

pls survive oken. i wanna see u swimming around again. i wanna see the happy oken T_T

oken <3, lily =_=

end.

Mimpi yg sempurna- Peter Pan

bismillah~
hehe. tajuk kat atas xde kne mngena. amek pkataan pertama je, MIMPI.

ni nightmare for an orange la kot. hehehehe.

mimpi, ape yg korg tau psl mimpi? org slalu kate mimpi tu mainan syaitan kan. tp tak jugak. kdg2 petunjuk dr allah.

korg pnah bace surah Yusuf? mesti pnah kn. kecik2 lg da khatam, hehe. prasan x, kisah Yusuf, sangat hebat, dan dimulakan dgn mimpi.

"(Ingatlah), ketika Yusuf berkata kepada ayahnya, "Wahai anakkku! Sungguh, aku (bermimpi) melihat sebelas bintang, matahari dan bulan; kulihat semuanya sujud kepadaku." (12:4)

nampak? ms sy dgr talk ni, ustz tu kate, 11 bintang tu merujuk kpd adik bradik Yusuf, matahari kpd ayahnya, n bulan tu maknya. ok, so balik pd topik. ustz tu bgtau, mimpi yg buruk, biasanya tak benar. i said biasanya k. sb kdg2 ada gak yg benar, sb manusia pn ada perangai syaitan sikit. huhu.

mimpi yg benar, dikatakan, if kte tdo dlm keadaan kte mengingati Allah. cthnye, sblm tdo, kita:

• solat dua rakaat dhuha (bkn la sblm tdo, tp ms waktu dhuha tu la=.=)
• 3 hari berpuasa setiap 13,14,15
• berwitir setiap kali nk tdo

plus, ble mimpi tu, kte tak buat perkara yg cam contoh, "melanggar subuh".

pstu, ape yg kte mimpi tu, JANGAN cerita kat org, melainkan org yg sgt dipercayai. dipercayai tu mksdnye, yg dekat dgn Allah s.w.t

knape ngan org yg dkat ngan Allah? -sb Allah bg firasat, ilham, karamah etc kat org camtu. ni dlm al-Quran pn dia da ckp;

"Dia (ayahnya) berkata, "Wahai anakku! Janganlah engkau menceritakan mimpimu kpd saudara2mu, mereka akan membuat tipu daya (utk membinasakanmu), Sungguh, setan itu musuh yg jelas bagi manusia." (12:5)

knape ayah Yusuf xbg cerita kat adik-bradik dia? sb kn time tu, adk bradik dia jeles ngan Yusuf, ayah diorg syg sgt3 kat Yusuf..

ok, so ble mimpi tu:

1. tafsirkan dgn baik. -sb kalo org yg tak thiqoh (dak2 jordan, ni bkn SIKAH ok), dia akan merepek2. 
2. ditafsirkan oleh org yg baik2. -sb tafsir yg baik tu, dah dekat dgn kebenaran walaupun tak benar sepenuhnya. 

n pnutupnye, ape yg kte mimpi, itu la yg kte pk pk, yg kte tak habis pk, dan bakal mewarnai hari-hari seterusnya. hehe.

tbe2 je rasa nk share psl mimpi ni. sb hr tu ade sorang adik ni tanye sy psl mimpi. akak xtau nk jwb cane dik, harap ni dpt membantu =)

okeh bye2! Allah yukhollikum!
