Islam is WONDERFUL

Dakwah to my readers is what I want to reach out.

I wanted to share with them that Islam is so very wonderful. I want them all to join me in feeling this wonderful religion. It is not a religion of burden, but the religion of peace and tranquillity.

What I discovered is that the most important trait  when you discover that Islam is wonderful is the feeling of "grateful and thankfulness". If we can appreciate the wonderful things that happened to us given by Allah azzawajal, then we can truely feel the awesomeness of Islam.

Never see the negative side of things. Always count your blessings and be grateful of what you have achieved until this moment. Your health, your family, your friends, your job, your carrier, your financial status  are all good for you (if only you know the blessings they bring).

BE GRATEFUL, LOOK AT THE POSITIVES..
Only grateful people will appreciate the wonderful things that bestowed them.

If you are the people who likes to complain and whine, then you will realise that this category of people will not achieve the wonderful things in life and in ISLAM.

ISLAM is about being the slave of Allah with sincerity.. no conditions...

When we do ibadah, it has 2 (two) components:-

1. worship - your ritual such as solat, fasting, zakat & hajj

2. Obedience - to follow what Allah says and to abstain from what Allah forbids at ALL TIMES.

This is the essence of ISLAM.

In summary
1. ISLAM is wonderful
2. Be Grateful
3. Look positive always
4. Sincerity in your ibadah
5. which is worship
6. and Obedience to Allah's rule

2013 - year end projects with daughters

Another year is about to come to a close.

If you follow my blog constantly, every year-end holiday I did asked my 4 daughters to achieve something together with me.

It started way back in 2009, when the first project was to solve the Rubik's 3x3 cube.

2010, was to complete hafazan Surah AtTaariq and 2011 to complete hafazan Surah Al-Buruuj. But come 2012, I did not specify  anything specific. The reason being that I thought after Surah Al-Buruuj, the remaining Juz Ammar becomes difficult.

The rule is that 1 of my 4 daughters must be able to achieve the set target. The deadline is 31 Dec each year.

2009 - Aliah (1st daughter) managed to solve Rubik's cube; I also managed in Nov2009
2010- Ain (3rd daughter) managed to hafaz At-Taariq; I managed to hafaz in Dec2010
2011- Ain (3rd daughter) managed to hafaz Al-Buruuj; I only managed to hafaz in Feb2012 (2 months delay)

But in 2013, I again set hafaz Surah Al-Insyiqaaq as the project. And this time, I wanted either Aisyah (2nd daughter) or Anis (4th daughter) to achieve it with me.

I sincerely hope we can achieve it.. together..

Make doa for me

My feeling when Man Utd loss at home to toffees and magpies

I cannot describe how disappointed I am when I got the results of 2 of Man Utd's recent matches.

Both are home games against Everton and Newcastle respectively. Everton was Moyes' former club and Newcastle is a club bearing my nickname (magpie). Both games I did not watch life but follow them on ESPN live score on my smartphone.

I was at Heathrow airport London for the Everton match and was at Putrajaya for the Newcastle match.

I presume Mr Moyes is in deep trouble at the moment. He needs a stroke of good luck and a Man Utd win desperately.

But wait, I should be grateful and thankful to Allah. This is exactly the feeling of Arsenal and Liverpool supporters all this while. This is also the feeling of Chelsea and Man City supporters as well. No wonder they hate MU so much.

I have not felt this feeling for a long time. I have forgotten how to be sad as the MU is always winning. I have forgotten the word patience and peserverance.

I should say, thank you for this feeling as now I realise the value of winning. Bring us the next game.
I sincerely think MU will not win the BPL this season. They are lucky if they can be in the top 4. Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Man City will occupy the top 4 spots. MU will have to fight with Newcatle, Everton, Spurs and Southampton for 5th spot.

Whatever the results of MU in the future, I will still support them. No matter how disappointed I am, I am truly a MU fan and I will watch every MU game when I have the opportunity to do so.

Thank you MU for the entertainment & disappointments.

Then again, to my Norwegian followers, I also sincerely hope, one day Ole Gunnar Solksjaer will be MU manager...  

Norway... an influx of my blog followers

Lately I have been getting huge amount of audience from Norway.

If the trend continues, in 1 year from now, Norway will overtake my home country Malaysia as my biggest audience.

Tracking on a daily, weekly and monthly (current) status, Norway is top of my stats.

Again, I do not know anyone from Norway. I thank you for reading my blog.

It is not my intention to have huge followers. It just amazes me that I have huge followers in a country that I have no friends. This is what technology has proven.

Rasulullah gave dakwah in Makkah, but hidayah came easily in Madinah.

I make a pledge that if Norway become my HIGHEST all time blog reader statistics, I will visit Norway and hopefully meet one of you. I will visit Oslo..

Thank you Norway..

 

Manchester United vs Spurs (away)

I am in London from 25 Nov until 5 Dec 2013.

On the 1 Dec, there is this match in North London, involving Spurs vs Man Utd.

What a match this will be, especially with 2 attacking minded teams. Also with 2 managers having mix season so far.

I wanted very much to watch the match. Apparently, the ticket is very expensive and I have take a short trip to Brussels on that day.

I strongly believe that Man Utd can win this match. A draw is highly probable as well.

This match is very important as to be within touch with the in-form Arsenal. Plus it will be a big boost coming to the busy Christmas schedule.

The weather in London is between 5-8 Celcius.. cold! I always wear the Man Utd cap during my stay in London.

One man came to me and asked "Are you still a believer?"
I smiled and answered "Yes!". I believe that David Moyes is the right person to replace Fergie!

My imam in solat is my CEO

6 Nov 2013.

For the very FIRST time in my entire life, I am a makmum to my No.1 company CEO in salat

It feels really awesome to have the opportunity to be a makmum of  your leader.

I make doa to Allah that my current Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will have all the blessings from Allah azzawajal..

Man United vs Arsenal - a game I look forward to..

I always look forward to game between Manchester United against Arsenal.

I have this feeling about Mr Wenger that I consider him being arrogant & snobbish. Yes, I cannot change him, only Allah can do that.

But this is the opportunity to respond in a positive way to put a dent on his huge ego.
2 games stands up

1. Man Utd 8 Arsenal 2 (2011/12 season)

2. But the FA Cup semi-final 1999, where Giggs scored from half-way line will always be remembered as the best MU vs Arse game that I will remember for a long-long time..

What ever the result tonight, I am very confident that MU will give their very best.

My prediction, MU will win with a single goal, but my head says that it could end up in a score draw.
