Semakin jauh ku dari-Mu
Semakin dekat pula Kau menghampiri daku
Oh, Tuhan Yang Maha Pengasih
Siapalah diriku di pandangan-Mu

Semakin cuba ku dekati
Semakin kuat pula Kau mendugai aku
Oh, Tuhan Yang Maha Sempurna
Kerdilnya diriku di hadapan-Mu

Bagaimanakah nantinya tika berhadapan dengan-Mu
Sudikah Kau menerima hamba-Mu yang hina ini
Ya Allah Kau Maha Pengampun
Di bayangan mentari aku kealpaan
Dusta dunia penuh kepura-puraan
Di kala dini hari aku kepasrahan
Mendamba jernih embun kasih sayang-Mu Oh Tuhan

Andainya dihitung amalanku
Belum pasti dapat ku hampiri gerbang syurga-Mu
Oh Tuhan Yang Maha Pemurah
Hindari diriku dari siksa-Mu…
Oh Tuhan
Kasih sayang-Mu Tuhan
Itu yang ku dambakan Dengan rahmat-Mu ampunilah diriku..

::I rise.. I fall.. Ouch! Now i'm rising again::

Subhanallah..Alhamdulillah..Allaahu akhbar..

It happened to me again.
What've i written previously,
Happened on me.
I rise: I can drive properly.
I fall: I've failed my Driving Practical Test.
Now, i'll rise again.
It seems i've to learn first,
The lessons,
That i wanna share with others.
I fall therefore i rise again.

"Advice yourself before you advice others." [Syeikh Abdul Qadir Jailani]

Although it's hard to accept the fact,
Bitter as it is,
But, with Alhamdulillah as my 1st word,
& Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un to accompany it,
Life have to go on,
As i'll taste the sweetness later..
I can put in all my effort that i want to,
I can pray as hard as i want to,
But still i have to leave it to Him,
I can only plan,
But He's the One who decides.

"Submit under God's Fate." [Syeikh Abdul Qadir Jailani]

That's what i'm gonna do,
Submit & accept His Fate,
With patience, willingness & wisdom,
& wait for His guidance,
His door to open.

Insya Allah,
This fall will shower me,
With benefits, improvements & experiences,
Making me appreciate things which,
I've taken for granted & have never thought of asking Him before.

One day,
I'll taste the sweetness of success.
But first i've to rise from my fall.
Allahumma Ameen.

'If God answers your prayers,
He is increasing your faith.
If He delays,
He is increasing your patience.
If He doesn't answer,
He has something better for you.'

*Everything right is only from Allah, everything wrong is only from me*

::Rise,Fall & Rise again::

Why not, one day you..

Sit down. Take a step back & relax.
Take a few minutes of your busy daily schedule & reflect upon a moment of your life.
A significant moment that most of us almost forgotten, take for granted or simply just don't care about it.

Remember..
The moment when you..
First tried walking. Taking your little, cute baby steps.
You rise..fall..& rise again..
Very determine & being motivated by others, you continued trying & striving.
Failures after failures you've met.
Tears after tears you've shed.
But, you still keep trying.
Until the day arrived when you finally began walking.

However, that didn't mark your last day of your 'rising, falling & rising again' cycle.
Day by day, your age goes up & you'll get older.
Believe it or not, the older you'll get, the more of this cycle you'll meet.
Though, it'll not be in the form of learning how to walk.
But it'll be more of tasting the bitterness & the sweetness of life.

The bitterness & the sweetness of life? What do I mean by that?
In life, both of them are commonly known as failures & success. However, not all failures are bad & not all successes are nice. Honestly, failures are good although it seems that you're falling down. Just like medicines, although they're bitter but they'll cure your illness. When failure does come knocking on your door, it's all up to you to decide its ending. It's either you learn from it, accept it as God's challenge to improve yourself & rise again or you can let it run into your life, be ignorant, let history repeat itself & continue falling. My Bio teacher once said that failures are just the beginning to a new chapter of success.

In Verse 94, Al-Insyirah (Solace), ayat 5 & 6:

"So verily, with the hardship, there is relief, Verily, with the hardship there is relief (i.e there is one hardship with two relief, so one hardship cannot overcome two reliefs)."

Here, in this verse, hardships can be seen as failures & Allah SWT said & emphasized that there are always hikmah (wisdom/ lessons) for every failures/ hardships, & every hikmah are special gifts from God to each of us. Thus, we (you & me) have to pick ourselves up & rise up from our fall whenever we're face with failures, so we can understand the hikmah & improve ourselves.

Don't just stay down & grieve the pain from the fall for long! It'll get you no where & just down there!
Stand up & rise! & you'll get to be somewhere up there!

Ending with: "The sweetness of pleasure is not worth the bitterness of hardships." [Imam Ali RA, Quoted from "Maxims of Ali"]

~Reflect upon it.

*Everything right is only from Allah, everything wrong is only from me*

"Assalaamu'alaikum" A phrase often said by me once in the morning & once at night. Just like seeing my parents. Why is that so?
Initially, i've always think that i'll have more time@ home for myself when i start to clear leave. But, otherwise happened. My life became busier even though i wasn't going back to camp. Busy for good.
Now, my life seems to be revolving around spiritual, psychological & intellectual upgrading. Presenting me..myself..& I as, a learner, a teacher, a big brother, a youth activist & a leader.

As a learner:

Thanks to Allah & my twin, Nad, i've been introduced to an every Thursday Islamic Lecture @ En-Naeem Mosque. Not only, i'm learning Tasawwuf but there's also Psychology because the Ustaz is a cousellor too. Other than that, i also attend some other mini Islamic Lectures organized by Malay/Muslim Organizations. & all thanks to my Kak Sara, now i have someone assisting me in improving my Qur'an Reading skills. Hamdan Lillah.

As a teacher & a big brother:

These two roles can't be separated. It's a package that i really appreciated. Although technically i'm a tutor, but in reality i'm more of a big brother mentoring his small brother. It's better that way. I just like it when i teach, i learn as well. I teach him maths & i learn how to be good big brother, which i didn't have the chance to.

As a youth activist & a leader:

Both of these personalities too can't be seperated. They just can't live without one another for me. This year, my biggest project, MiQ Quiz 2006, will also be the last MiQ related project. My last to lead the MiQ Team (Goodbye dearest MiQians). And since it's my last, i'll ensure that it'll be one of the most enthralling & memorable quizes of all time. Insya Allah. So one day, i shall look back & smile in peace in one piece. Nevertheless, i will still continue my quest to be an altruistic youth activist. Talking about that, i shall not forget my new lifestyle aka hobby. That is to attend seminars, forums, discussions & meetings for every level of maturity & intellect, making me swing from one place to another. Just like Spidey..hehe.

With all these personalities colouring my life, that explains why am i busy, till i can't update my blog frequently & sadly i only meet my parents twice everyday.

So, that's all for now..
Peace out~
