oh Ramadhan
Ramadhan Kareem has been on its 16th day.
Everyone is celebrating this month of rahmah.
• People read Al-Quran everyday in this month even though before this, he/she may read only one page per week.
• People may do tahajjud in the middle of night before having sahur everyday in this month, even though she/he always woke up for subuh at 7.00 am before this.
• People may survive without eating any food from subh to maghrib, even though before this he/she cannot stand without eating 24 hours!
Yes, Ramadhan is the month of rahmah. Allah gives us the room for doing good deeds. Although we have many things and work to finished off, things seem to be easier than before and time seems to be waiting for us.
But now…on the 16th day of Ramadhan…Everybody seems to be exhausted (?) or maybe bored (?) doing repeating good things in Ramadhan. Or maybe people are more interested to figure out what type of attire that they should wear in Syawal..Or now busy buying various type of “kueh raya” or might be you are the one that selling “kueh raya”. (Things seem to be smooth in the end of ramadhan, your kueh sold out every week?)
Oh Ramadhan Kareem
You give us 1001 opportunities
But people
Always forget about it.
If we are busy preparing for Syawal, please remember this maybe the last Ramadhan for us. Try to do our best in this Ramadhan. Gain mardhotillah.
Lastly, be like the dates tree. Always gives good thing to people. Not only in the month of Ramadhan.
“Perumpamaan seorang mukmin adalah seperti sebatang pohon kurma. Apa yang kamu ambil darinya akan memberikan manfaat kepadamu.” Diriwayatkan AtThabrani dari Ibn Umar r.a.
(Syarah Lengkap Arbai’n Tarbawiyah)
Mukmin is like the tree of dates. Everything that you get from it will give advantages. Its leaf, its root, its fruits, its seed, all can be used by human. Thus, we as muslim should;
• Observe our words
• Observe our thought
• Observe our activities
• Take care of our heart
• Take care of our time
By fearing Allah..
Wishing you Ramadhan Kareem! (Although it seems to be late now…)

telah kuberikan hati
Bismillah..
Serasa-rasanya seperti sudah berkurun lamanya tidak menulis sesuatu di laman ini. Seperti kembali kepada satu tempat lapang yang jarang benar digauli orang. Aneh sekali, perasaan begitu mudah menarik-narik untuk mencoret sesuatu. Barangkali, sempena ulangtahun hari lahir ana yang ke-20. Selebihnya, rasa hati yang kosong. Sunyi dan sepi.
Anehnya. Ana masih punya ayahanda dan bonda. Dan adinda. Buat penyeri kepompong bahagia keluarga kecil ana. Bersama teman-teman dan keluarga yang menghadiahi ucapan selamat. Tetapi, hati masih terasa benar kosong. Sedaya-upaya menangis, untuk melembutkan sekeping hati yang keras amat barangkali?
Hidup seperti burung yang terbang melayang. Samada tinggi atau rendah. Tinggi menggapai awan. Rendah mencecah bumi. Jadilah burung yang terbang tinggi, terawang terus, jangan sampai mencecah bumi. Signifikannya, burung yang terbang tinggi adalah ibarat hati yang tak pernah kosong. Hati yang penuh dengan zikrullah, hati yang bimbang berkarat, lalu menjauh terus dari perkara-perkara lagha. Hati yang menjaga sempadan syariatnya dalam setiap perkara.
Barangkali, sepi hati ana kerana terbangnya melanyah rendah. Hampir mencecah bumi. Atau mungkin selalu benar ana bermanja-manja tidak mahu terbang tinggi-tinggi. Kerana alasan penat dan jemu. Barangkali…Oh. Mungkin sahaja kerana impi dan harapan masih belum tertunai. Atau jiwa merintih lapar dan dahaga. Jarang benar sekarang ana bersungguh menyuapi sekeping hati dengan amalan ila Allah.
Di hari ulangtahun ini.
Ana pohon sesungguhnya..
Moga dikurnia ketenangan yang kekal abadi.
Telah kuberikan hati…
Telah kuberikan hati
Pada sang langit
Supaya nanti
Saat bayu datang menyerbu
Hatiku akan tenang selalu
Telah kuberikan hatiku
Pada mentari yang bersinar
Moga jeritan batinku bersatu
Dalam cahayanya
Lalu lupus terus
Telah kuberikan hati
Pada gerimis
Yang membasah sang lautan
Supaya hatiku dapat bersatu
Dengan riak yang paling dalam
Kuberikan hatiku
Pada langit, pada bayu dan pada ombak.
Oh tuhan,
Moga karat dan sendu
Akan karam terus di lautan yang bergelora.
Telah ana berikan sekeping hati ana kepada alam. Kerana alam adalah buku hikmah yang terkandung di dalamnya berjuta rahsia dalam usaha taqarrub ila Allah. Dan semoga, hati ana akan bersatu dengannya.. mengubati segala karat yang sedia ada.
