Doa Tuan Guru Nik Aziz


"Wahai Tuhan Kami, berilah kami perasaan takut kepadamu yang dapat menghalang kami dari kemaksiatan dan berilah kami ketaatan kepadamua yang menyampaikan kami ke syurgamu, dan berilah dan berilah keyakinan yang memudahkan kami menghadapi bencana di dunia."



"Wahai tuhan kami berilah kami kenikmatan pendengaran, penglihatan dan kekuatan tubuh badan selama hidup kami dan jadikanlah dia mewarisi kami dan berilah pembalasan kepada orang yang menzalimi kami. Dan tolonglah kami terhadap orang yang memusuhi kami.Dan janganlah engkau jadikan bencana bagi kami dalam ugama kami dan janganlah jadikan keduniaan sebesar-besar cita-citanya dami dan tidak sampai batasan ilmu kami. Dan janganlah Engkau biarkan orang yang tidak menaruh kasihan balas terhadap kami, dapat menguasai ke atas kami."


"Wahai Tuhan kami, kami pohon perlindungan dengan nur kesucian engkau dan berkat kebersihan dan keagungan sifat jalal engkau, dari setiap yang datang waktu malam kecuali yang datang dengan baik."


"Wahai tuhan kami, engkaulah penolong kami, maka kepada engkau kami mohon pertolongan. Wahai tuhan kami, engkaulah tempat kami menyelamatkan diri, maka kepada engkaulah kami pohon selamat. Wahai tuhan bagilah kelemahan dan kehinaan yang mana segala tengkuk pembesar dunia."


"Dan tunduk kepadanya segala urusan dan kebesaran raja-raja Firaun, selamatkan kami dari penghinaan dan hukuman siksamu, ketika malam atau siang, ketika kami tidur atau berada di suatu tempat. Tiada tuhan bagi kami melainkan engkau demi kebesaran wajah engkau dan kemuliaan kesucian engkau, hindarkanlah kami dari segala kejahatan hamba-hamba engkau, berilah kemudahan kepada kami dengan limpah kurnia dari engkau wahai tuhan yang maha pemurah."




"Wahai Tuhan sama ada engkau lembutkan hati-hati mereka untuk kami sebagaimana kamu lembutkan besi untuk Nabi Daud, dan kamu menundukkan mereka seperti seperti kamu tundukkan bukit bukau, gunung ganang untuk Nabi Sulaiman atau pun kamu lipat balik rancnagan jahat mereka supaya berpatah balik ke atas mereka sendiri , dan kamu hancur leburkan pakatan mereka dan kacau bilaukan kumpulan mereka dan goncangkan pendirian mereka dan Ya Allah turunkan bendera mereka rapat ke bumi, Wahai Tuhan yang tetap hidup yang mentadbir urusan makhluknya, Wahai Tuhan yang mempunyai keagungan dan kemuliaan, sesungguhnya Engkau berkuasa di atas tiap-tiap sesuatu."


"Ya Allah Tuhan kami, limpahkanlah rahmat ke atas junjungan kami Nabi Muhammad S.A.W yang dengannya dapat emngubati hati dan menjadikan penawar, menyihatkan badan yang menyembuhkannya, menjadi cahaya bagi pandangan mata dan menyinarkannnya dan limpahkanlah rahmat dan kesejahteraan kepada keluarga dan para sahabat baginda sekalian."

Just another day...

Yesterday, i took Aleesya for her second jab. Time flies.. She's 3 months old now. She's getting heavier as well. 5.5 kgs compared to the birth weight of 2.9kgs.. Hmm, i guessed i've done a good job with feeding. The power of breast feeding!!!


I finished reading an extraordinary book that my husband brought back from Penang last year. Yes, it's Power of Patience by MJRyan. I recommend anyone out there to get hold of the book. Read and munch it as much as you can.


Actually all the entries of Sabar were based on that beautiful written book. I hope to share every single bits of it in Malay version. For sure, it won't be as nice as reading the book itself, but at least i can share what i understood from the book and share it here.
Finished reading it is one thing. To practise on it is another.. Hmm

KEMPEN 3...

I was born in JB but now is living in KB. I used to joke with new people i met that although by alphabetical order, J is next to K, but in Malaysia, JB and KB is about 12hours-drive apart from each other (psst... if Damon Hill were to drive from KB to JB, he would be in JB in around 8hours i tell you.. Want to experience the drive? you're welcome to travel with our family.. hehehe.) Just want to share some of the photos that i received from emel, which some of you might have seen it somewhere else..Well one might still argue that the exploitation of women is still there. Rather than women with free hair, they are now wearing hijab. Argue? Hmm...

Another essential character in life..?


I remember talking to a friend a few weeks back. She mentioned this essential character of human being.. FORGIVENESS. I still remeber what she said to me, but to share with all my beloved friends out there, i cut and paste some of the extract i found this morning. The rest can be read from this address: http://www.celebratelove.com/forgive.htm



LoveNote. . .

If we really want to love, we must learn how to forgive. - Mother Theresa


Forgiveness works! It is often difficult, AND it works!
We often think of forgiveness as something that someone who has done us wrong must ask of US. There is always another way of looking at something. My thoughts on forgiveness suggest that you focus on offering forgiveness TO the person who has wronged you. To not forgive them is like taking the poison (continuing to suffer for what they did or didn't do to you) and expecting THEM to die!

Alexander Pope once said, "To err is human; to forgive, Divine." Believe it!

Forgiveness is a gift you give to yourself. It is not something you do FOR someone else. It is not complicated. It is simple. Simply identify the situation to be forgiven and ask yourself: "Am I willing to waste my energy further on this matter?" If the answer is "No," then that's it! All is forgiven.

Forgiveness is an act of the imagination. It dares you to imagine a better future, one that is based on the blessed possibility that your hurt will not be the final word on the matter. It challenges you to give up your destructive thoughts about the situation and to believe in the possibility of a better future. It builds confidence that you can survive the pain and grow from it.
Telling someone is a bonus! It is not necessary for forgiveness to begin the process that heals the hurt. Forgiveness has little or nothing to do with another person because forgiveness is an internal matter.

Choice is always present in forgiveness. You do not have to forgive AND there are consequences. Refusing to forgive by holding on to the anger, resentment and a sense of betrayal can make your own life miserable. A vindictive mind-set creates bitterness and lets the betrayer claim one more victim.

There is nothing so bad that cannot be forgiven. Nothing!

"The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong."
Mahatma Gandhi

Some will argue that in the case of child abuse, the Holocaust, Saddam Hussain, 9-11, etc, the abuser has no "right" to forgiveness -- such blessings can only be earned -- that forgiveness only leads to further victimization. Such acts are heinous and dispicable and with time (and in many cases, therapy and coaching) they can be forgiven. Every day you may have to forgive again.

The greatest misconception about forgiveness is the belief that forgiving the offense, such as an affair, means that you condone it. Not true. In fact, we can only forgive what we know to be wrong. Forgiveness does not mean that you have to reconcile with someone who badly treated you.

Another misconception is that it depends on whether the person who did you wrong apologizes, wants you back, or changes his or her ways. If another person's poor behavior were the primary determinant for your healing then the unkind and selfish people in your life would retain power over you indefinitely. Forgiveness is the experience of finding peace inside and can neither be compelled nor stopped by another.

I believe that to withhold forgiveness is to choose to continue to remain the victim. Remember, you always have choice.

When you forgive you do it for you, not for the other. The person you have never forgiven. . . owns you! How about an affair? Just because you choose to forgive, does not mean you have to stay in the relationship. That is only and always your choice. The choice to forgive is only and always yours.

When you feel that forgiveness is necessary, do not forgive for "their" sake. Do it for yourself! It would be great if they would come to you and ask forgiveness but you must accept the fact that some people will never do that. That is their choice. They do not NEED to be forgiven. They did what they did and that is it - except for the consequences, which THEY must live with.

The hurts won't heal until you forgive! Recovery from wrongdoing that produces genuine forgiveness takes time. For some, it may take years. Don't rush it. Constantly reliving your wounded feelings gives the person who caused you pain power over you. Instead of mentally replaying your hurt, it helps to focus your energy on the healing, not the hurt!

Learn to look for and appreciate the love, beauty and kindness around you. It's there, and you may have to change your thinking and behavior to discover it.

HEALTHY love relationships are not possible without forgiveness! You cannot have a loving and rewarding relationship with anyone else, much less yourself, if you continue to hold on to things that happened in the past. Regardless of the situation, making peace with past love partners, your parents, children, your boss or anyone who you think may have "done you wrong" is the only way to improve your chances of a "healthy" relationship with yourself or anyone else for that matter!

It is not possible to truly be present and available to a new relationship until you heal the hurt and upsets of the past.

Forgiving someone else is to agree within yourself to overlook the wrong they have committed against you and to move on with your life. It's the only way. It means cutting them some slack.
"What?" you say! "Cut them some slack after what THEY did to me? Never!" Let go! Move on!
Non-forgiveness keeps you in the struggle. Being willing to forgive can bring a sense of peace and well-being. It lifts anxiety and delivers you from depression. It can enhance your self-esteem and give you hope.

LoveNote. . . The things that two people in love do to each other they remember. And if they stay together, it is not because they forget, it is because they forgive. - From the movie, Indecent Proposal


Forgive and forget is a myth. You may never forget AND you can choose to forgive. As life goes on and you remember, then is the time to once again remember that you have already forgiven. Mentally forgive again if necessary, then move forward. When we allow it, time can dull the vividness of the memory of the hurt; the memory will fade.


Always remember that you are human. Sometimes people do and say hurtful things. It is important to focus on what you have done to learn from the experience.


"In this life. . . we are unable to forget whatever remains unforgiven. So, if we won't let go of some pain - whose time has now past - then who is to blame for the weight of this burden still being carried on our back?"
Guy Finley
