Blogging is considered outdated.

With all the social media available, writing a blog seems to be outdated.

So, I have Facebook  (hisham.mustaffa.39).
Did not realize that there are many Hisham Mustaffa in this world!

I have Instagram (mustaffahisham).

I have twitter (hishamagpie).

I have LinkedIn (Hisham Mustaffa)

And I have my blog (demagpie.blogspot.com)

Whatever it is, I will continue to blog for I enjoy blogging.

Ever since my first blog post in July 2008, I am now reaching 100,000 pageviews.

Whatever it is, here is to continue blogging as I consider blogging is part of my work!

I am back. I write when I feel like writing. Remember Allah

It has been 6 months since I last write.

I thought to myself to give it a good break. I felt guilty even if 1 month I did not write.

But it turned out fine. I write when I feel like writing.

Things have been great for the past 6 months (Oct'16- Mar'17).

Things I promised myself to do:-
1. Jawi
2. 99 asma ulhusna
3. Harfiyah
4. Hafazan on Juz Amar

are ongoing.

My routine exercise have not been consistent due to work commitment.

My children are all fine.

Manchester United are currently 5th in the EPL. They won the League Cup 2017.

Work is good. I am very2 grateful to Allah to blessed me with really good things

Alhamdulillah.

Always always remember Allah

Manchester United vs Burnley 29 Nov 2016

I watched the game with my usual nephews.

Before the match, I thought to myself that this will be an easy 3-points, as Burnley did not pick any points on any matches this season (2016/17).

Huge amount of changes went begging and the match ended in a goalless draw.

Up until 29 Nov 2016, Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool are top 3

Tottenham and Chelsea looks to complete the list of top 5 BPL teams.

Reality struck me that this Manchester United team under Jose Mourinho will be good to occupy 6th place, or 5th place in BPL 2016/17.

It is still early days, but the gap is widening and will be very difficult to catch the top 5 teams.

But I will still watch every MU game and enjoy myself, whatever is the result.

Cabut lalang di depan halaman rumah

Sejak kebelakangan ini, aku sering mencabut lalang yang saban tumbuh di depan halaman rumah.

Memang cukup pantas ia tumbuh, tambah2 lagi pada musim yang hujan dan panas/kering silih berganti.

Tak ada apa yang istemewanya mencabut lalang ini.....

Cuma aku teringat akan kehidupan ini. Lalang akan tumbuh tanpa banyak usaha dari orang. Ia seumpama dosa yang kita lakukan setiap hari. Cukup mudah untuk membuat dosa.

Tetapi dengan sering mencabut lalang, seumpama sering meminta ampun. Ia akan menghapuskan lalang/dosa yang tiap hari tumbuh.

Ya sekarang setiap lalang yang aku cabut di depan halaman rumah akan diiringi dengan ucapan astaghfirullah meminta ampun pada Allah.

Ya Allah..... jadikan aku dari hambaMu yang Kau beri petunjukMu

Aamiin

I lost my Casio watch

It has been 2 days that I lost my watch...my favourite Casio watch.

The last time I wore it was when I attended a meeting on 8th Sep in Bagan Lalang some 90KM from Kuala Lumpur.

I searched for it everywhere. But could not find it.

It bugs me and made me sad.

But wait.... it is Allah's will that my watch is lost.

I must be grateful for  a million other things that is NOT lost. Why do I have to feel sad. I should be ever grateful.

I make doa to Allah NOT to be an ungrateful person. One worldly item lost does not effect my iman. In fact it strengthens the iman

If ever I find my watch... it is Allah's will. If I don't get it back, it is completely OK.

Aamiin

No surprise to anyone. But Allah is ALL Knowing

The month of Zulhijjah 2016

1st Zulhijjah falls on Saturday (3 Sep 2016).

The 1st 10 days of Zulhijjah will be 3/9-12/9.

There is a tafsir  for the ayat in surah Fajr:2, that these 10 nights of the first 10 days of the month of Zulhijjah is referred. Some mufasirrun says that the 10 nights referred is the last 10 days of Ramadan.

Whatever is the tafsir, if we believers cover both the period, we will never go wrong. Allah is the All knowing.

My target is to memorize Surah Abasa (80th Surah).

Ya Rabb, please help me to memorize this wonderful surah. This surah has 42 ayats. If successful, this will be the longest surah that I memorize.

The longest surah that I achieve to memorize so far is surah Mutaffifin (83rd surah).

My bigger role is to be able to memorize ALL the 30th juz of the Quran.

Make doa for me please....
