Lipat Kajang Raya 2010

Never had Raya shot & since everyone is around in LK, we'd do it.

Raya 2010

As you can see it was a good raya for us. Everyone was here except Ayah Ri.
Maybe we need a bigger space as everyone is growing, including sideways.

Boi & Wan caught a big carp at the tail end of empang simen. It was big by any standard.
Our plan for the boat was k.i.v due to short time frame. Maybe next school break, there will be boat to enjoy the paya.

Maybe next time we should organise some cooking competition for the girls and coconut climbing contest for the boys. The contest shall carry a few hundred ringgit prize money?
What say you?

Jumaat terakhir Ramadhan 2010.

Ya Allah
Kau rahmatilah kedua ibubapa ku
Ampunkan lah dosa2 mereka
Tempatkan mereka bersama org yg kau cintai

Ya Allah,
Terangilah kubur ibuku
Bagai bulan purnama, Ya Allah
Kau lapangkanlah ia
Selapang taman di shorga

Ya Allah
Kau halalkan setiap titik susu ibuku
Yg menghilangkan lapar & dahagaku
Setiap keringat yg dia tumpahkan
kerana membesarkan aku

Ya Allah
Aku berdosa
Kerana melebihkan diri, isteri dan anak
dari kedua orang tuaku
Ampunkan lah aku Ya Allah.

Tak maju?.

One time while we were in the car, on the way back from her hostel, Yaya suggested that I quit my present work, sell my company & apply for jobs in factories.
I asked her why?
She said her friends yg bapak mereka kerja di kilang semua drive kereta besar!

Auw, now I know where the discussion is going.
She was worried about my old Sentra. Now I remember she once told me not to pick her in my older van...
Ha ha my poor suffering daughter.

So I asked her did she know how our beloved Prophet lived.
She said no.
So I told her what I know about how Rasulullah lived 1400 something years ago.
Rasulullah could have asked for the hills around Mekah to be turned into gold, if he wanted to, but he didn't.
Allah maha kaya & Rasulullah adalah kekasihNya. He could have asked for anything.
Why?

I am not a religious man but I am her father & I know a little bit of halal & haram. I have tried my best to earn my keeps in ways that I see fit to feed us.
I told her rezeki manusia berbeza beza. Ada yg Allah swt bagi lebih dan ada yg dapat kurang.
Ada yg sedang sedang.

Does that mean I work less than I should?
Maybe yes? There are ways & means that I haven't tried & I prefer to keep it that way.
Kalu macam tu tak maju la!
Takpe lah. Tak maju pun ok.
My wife also think I should make more so that we can move to a bungalow somewhere. A lot of her friends dah upgrade to bungalows.
I just buat bodoh.
What do you think?

Cooking class

Nampak gaya Kak Long & Hasra tengah training masak tu.
Nanti bole kita singgah rumah dia & try masakan dia.

Antara kita & mereka.

Apakah beza antara kita, org Islam dan mereka, bukan Islam?

Hanya dari segi ibadat? Makan minum? Berpakaian?Pendidikan? Perniagaan? Mencari harta?

Ibarat malam dan siang sebenarnya. Islam ialah cara hidup. Konsep cara hidup kita tak sama dengan cara hidup mereka.
Antara falsapah hidup kita ialah ada Allah swt. Seluroh alam dan isinya dijadikan oleh Allah swt. Manusia bukan di jadikan Allah untuk bebas bersuka suka ikut kehendak hati di dunia ini.

Kita diberi point kalu buat ikut ajaran Allah swt. Kalu tak ikut, akan di denda, hilang point.
Target hidup kita org Islam ialah segala yg kita lakukan ialah untuk Allah swt. Agar Dia sayang pada kita & Dia jemput kita ke ShorgaNya.
Kalu jadi YB, engineer atau lawyer, jadi muslim YB, lawyer atau engineer to please him. Muslim first & ...... later.
Kalu dah jadi engineer yg bijak, idea yg brilliant, jujur, takut Allah, tentu ramai yg nak minta service engineer ni.
Mungkin juga tidak, oleh kerana dia lurus, tak tahu nak tumbuk rusuk, mungkin org penting tak suka nak bekerjasama dgn dia. Jadi mungkin dia tak jadi nak jadi kaya.
Insyaallah, percayalah pd janji Allah. Mungkin duit sedikit tapi berkat.
A little difficult to digest tthis one? Didn't sound like fun.
You can take ur time.

Bukan untuk wang banyak, kereta besar atau rumah besar. Hanya utk Allah swt.
Kita bole berniaga besar. Modal besar & ramai org tompang cari rezeki bersama kita.
Syarat, play & follow the rules.

Ahem, macamana kalu gaji tak naik2 dan niaga tak maju?
Anak & isteri minta tukar kasut, baju, kosen, kereta dan mcm2 lagi lah.
Macamana? Susah lah.
Itu cerita lain ok?

Mudahan kalu Allah sayang pada kita, kita dapat point lagi banyak.
Adakah kita akan punyai cukup point utk ke shorga?
Kita kena collect our daily points!

Ada tengok cerita Life is Beautiful?
Kisah pengembaraan seorg budak Yahudi di Italy bersama bapanya semasa perang dunia kedua di Italy.

Macamana nak bagi Allah swt sayang pada kita?
Kita kena belajar & faham apa yg Dia suka & benci.
Bacalah terjemahan Quran, Hadis Nabi dan buku2 yg di tulis oleh Ulamak.
Bincang bersama kawan, guru dan parents.

Kita kena faham the reason we do certain things & we don't do other things.
Umpamanya dalam soal mencari wang untuk bekalan kehidupan kita di dunia ini.
We have dos & don'ts.
Wang membolehkan kita membeli makanan, pakaian, rumah dan kenderaan.
Makan bole tapi jangan berlebih, itu membazir, nanti banyak masalah. Sakit perut,darah tinggi, jantung, kencing manis dan lain lain yg di sebabkan makan banyak.
Ahem, I should be able to reduce my tummy.
Beli pakaian wajib sebab nak tutup aurat.
Tapi beli branded bukan niatnya nak tutup aurat tapi nak tunjuk ....

"Mereka" akan berusaha mencari sebanyak yg bole tanpa mengira halal dan haram. Pada mereka wang adalah segala galanya.
Wang utk membeli kesenangan, hormat diri, cinta, kuasa. pengaroh, pengikut dan lain?
Mereka anggap wang itu hak mereka yg mutlak, mereka bole belanjakan wang itu ikut suka hati mereka.
Mereka kata"suka hati akulah, duit aku".

Ada umat Islam hari ini yg dapat untung, gaji, bonus dan apa apa lagi, bayar income tax tapi tak bayar zakat. Itu dah macam ikut mereka ha ha

Konsep harta dalam Islam : harta ialah milik Allah yg Allah pinjamkan kpd kita. Ia bukan hakmilik mutlak kita.
Kita tak bole gunakan wang tsbt untuk beli loteri kerana kita akan rugi point!
Adakah cara kita dapatkan wang di senangi Allah swt? Kalu "yes" dapat point.
Adakah cara kita habiskan wang tsbt di senangi Allah? Kalu "No", hilang point.
Adakah proses mencari dan menghabiskan wang ini mendekatkan kita kpd Allah?
Adakah Allah happy with us?
