Muhasabah and Improve Diri

Assalamualaikum

 

Tak dapat buat semua pun, dapat improve n amalkan most of the things listed pun Alhamdulillah.. :)  

A reminder for myself as well.

 

1.  Start off each day with 'adhkaar al-istiyqaadh' (waking up Supplications), thanking Allah for waking up in good shape (easiest to do).

2.  Put Allah first in your life.

3.  Broaden your horizons - learn 5 new verses from the Quran every day, travel to pray far in the mosque to brighten your day,take up a booklet having supplications and read them.

4. Pray Salaat Al-dhuhaa (after sunrise n before Zuhur).

5.  If someone says something mean to you, just shrug it off and dismiss it in a friendly, laidback manner, and pray that Allah shall forgive them.

6.  When you get angry, remember Allah, and how short and worthless life is to waste in being angry.

7.  Remember that you can never have too many friends, but you can have few quality friends that help you fulfill the purpose of your creation (i.e. live for Allah).

8.  When you're happy, try to share your happiness with others. Thank Allah for that, and pray its continuation.

9.  When something bad or embarrassing happens to you, just think that it could always be worse, remember the reward of patience,and thank Allah that it's not worse than it is.

10. Do something extra of goodness once in a while, like feeding a poor person, or caressing an orphan's head.

 

11. Never stop believing that you can win Allah's love and thus work For it. Then you can win the love of Allah's slaves.

12. Spend some time thinking of Allah's amazing creation.

13. Always love those who love Allah unconditionally. This way you will ensure that you live for Him, love for Him, and hate for Him (those who are enemies of Him).

14. Find the righteous ways to express yourself, and if you think that what you are about to say shall cause no benefit, maintain silence.

15. Every now and then, give yourself a break. Play sports, give time to your family, friends, but always remember Allah and watch that He is watching you.

 

16. Pray for blessing to come to those being lost, and pray to Allah to guide them to the right path.

17. Hug your parents, kiss their hands and heads and always obey but stop at Allah's orders.

18. Smile to everyone, for your smile makes a big difference to him or her and you are rewarded.

19. Forgive, forget and smile.

20. Tears are not for women only... tears are for all human beings with feelings remaining in them. Don't restrain your tears when remembering Allah.

21. When people criticize your actions and effort, revise your actions and see if they please Allah or no. If they do, then ignore and remember how the Prophet (SAW) and the Sahaba were criticized, made fun of and even physically harmed, so have patience.

22. Read the Quran daily and try to have a schedule for completing it as much as you could. As you open the Quran daily, read with observing not just passing your eyes through the words.

23. Don't let popularity go to your head, for it never lasts and you may lose from it more than gain.

24. Never look down on anybody, for, to Allah, they may be better than you.

 

25. Send this to all brothers with the intention of having a healthy society living for Allah and pray.

new yearh! summary of my 2012

Assalamualaikum 2013..

Assalamualaikum.

Alhamdulillah selamat juga kita semua menginjak ke tahun baru. mudah mudahan tahun ni, tercapailah segala azam dan impian seperti tahun lepas. 
(walaupun azam aku pada tahun lepas tercapai dihari-hari terakhir tahun 2012).

Recalling those days, normal student would have nothing else to do but specific time only for writing process. But for me, research experiment was still undergoing walaupun dalam tempoh genting. It was necessary for the experiment sebab nk publish a good paper. Most of my time spent in lab, rather than my room, writing.

With that going in between, finally Alhamdulillah thesis siap and selamat submit pada akhir bulan Dec 2012. 
Memetik kata-kata hubby, setiap sesuatu yg kita capai mesti ada pelaburan dulu. Pengorbanan berpisah jauh utk sementara inilah yg aku laburkan utk capai target ni. Syukur Alhamdulillah.

 

Urusan majlis pernikahan dan perkahwinan aku lakukan dalam keadaan curi2 masa. 
Setiap satu urusan dilakukan dengan pantas. 
Hujung minggu, or even 2 or 3 hours break time during working days.

Dalam situasi full time research mode study, segala urusan perlu perancangan awal dan rapi. 
Overall, the duration to settle my wedding stuffs took about 8 months. 
From kad jemputan, book pelamin, baju sanding, khemah, hantaran dan medical check up. 
Since aku stay Penang, agak terhad masa utk urus so i took quite long holiday (1-2 weeks in about every 3 months) balik ke Shah Alam urus semua benda. 

Kadang-kadang drive sengsorang. 

Kadang-kadang by flight

Ada mase naik bas. Took quite a longer period nk smpai umah coz bus kan kejap2 berhenti RnR.

Urusan kad jemputan, semuanya buat di Penang since sana memang banyak kedai kad kahwin. 
Segala dokumen pun settle d Penang. urusan dokumen permastautin pihak lelaki wajib buat (jika lelaki bukan penduduk negeri Selangor) sebab my hubby dok Sabah, so kerja lebih sikit lah utk settle borang permastautin. 
First thing important is kena ambil pengesahan nazir kawasan atau penghulu. 
Nasib baik coz my hubby have stayed in Selangor about 3 years, since his Diploma in Unisel. So tak ada masalah utk pengesahan permastautin.

Untuk ujian darah pula, supposed ujian darah dibuat di hosp kerajaan, but we didn't know that (because there was no garis panduan mentioned which hosp or clinic yg dibolehkan untuk ujian darah) until da sampai pejabat agama. 
Then terpaksa balik dan buat ujian darah sekali lagi di hosp berdekatan. 
It was such a tiring but kami tahu ada hikmah dan think positive that all the experience we've going through would end happily. 
So yeah, thank to Allah.

After all the hardships, Alhamdulillah kami selamat disatukan.

Bermulalah agenda baru hidup yg mana all sort of things menerjah kepala otak. 
Bukan 1 bukan 2 tapi banyak benda aku kena titik beratkan. 

Since dah jadi bini orang, part of my life i dedicate to the other new family. 
The journey Sandakan-Shah Alam-Penang-Shah Alam-Sandakan became too often since September 2012. 
Like once a month. Sebab masih uruskan Master thesis and experiments. 

Within the duration, my hubby graduated in September 2012 and it was the end of his BSc study. Congratulations Sayang! 

nah.. a congratulation kiss for ya!

I use to get involved with new relatives of in law family. 
It is so good to be with them. 
They treat me kind and in fact dorang sangat sporting.

Besides all those sort of stuffs, I used to go back to Penang by myself, without my hubby accompanying me. 
Thank u Allah for giving me strength. Nasib baik member2 dok ada sana struggling jugak. Sometime we spent time until late nite hanging out together to release tension. : )

Memandangkan aku masih di Penang, my hubby berhasrat untuk further study and I helped him finding his potential supervisors. 
He got permission from tempat kerja to come all the way down here. 
Syukur urusan mudah dan lancar. My hubby presented his slide describing the scope of project he does in his department. 
The meeting end well. 
A collaboration is about to begin, InsyaAllah.

Setelah urusan selesai, aku pulang ke pangkuan hubby di Sandakan. 
Terima kasih mak abah kerana sudi hantar.

Nah..sebagai hadiah, angah gambarkan kenangan mak abah dengan Dato’ Hassan Mahmud. 
Kebetulan jumpa beliau d airport. 
Beliau hantar familynya balik ke Kudat. 
Nasib bukan 1 flight, kalau tak, menyinggah aku ke rumah familynye.

Sampai Sandakan, special gift menanti, percutian ini memang kunantikan. 
Bersama2 sambut malam new year di Four Points Hotel by Sheraton. 
Thank you mak ayah n hubby! : )

31^st Dec 2012 aku spent utk serve n tolong adik ipar masuk ke tingkatan 1. Beban thesis kurang, tinggal preparation utk Viva. 
In the mean time, serve the best for family. 
Dan cari kerja yaw!

Alhamdulillah. 
Semoga tahun 2013 membawa rahmat dan mudah mudahan bertambah rezeki dan tercapai impian dan kejayaan. 

InsyaAllah aminn ya rabbal a’lamin..
