When was the last time I cried because of something so beautiful, pure from the heart, and eventually realized I am still a servant of my Creator?

I dont remember.

Facts on this convention,Muktamar IMSA-MISG 2010

second day : 'eh,ak silap program ke?'

i'm impressed on two things:

awesome vs happy

Remember a sister i met months ago in this post?

I met her again,tonight at Tajweed Essentials class at University of Rochester,10minutes away from mine.

well~because i'm tired,straight to the point:

It was awesome possum!

best class of tajweed ever,since 20years through fardhu ain classes in school.

it was tought by Syeikh Wisam Sharieff, he is so cool!

funny and full of enthusiasm!

when i say tajweed, does it ring a bell of all the complicated terms you knew?makhraj huruf? tarqiq & tafkhim? idgham and whatnot?

this class has nothing to do with those terms, it is about science of sounds, how you say it, how do you hear it, where the letters will be?in the lip or the throat?

Why tajweed?why not fiqh or anything else?

1) first command of Allah in Al-Quran is what? yes,exactly! iqra'!

2)to have better Quran recitation

3)recite the Quranic verse during solah correctly

4)seek for forgiveness in the way Allah wanted it to be (say the right words with correct meaning)

the way he taught it was amazing. I bet no one ever experience tajweed lesson like that before, never, no where else. i might fall in love if he is 10years younger. everyone's heart melts when listening to his recitation.and i got goosebumps! , for good.

a bit of sharing:

there are 7 AWESOME letters :those are heavy-sounded ض ص ط ظ ق غ خ

and he taught this as simple as 'awesome vs happy' in 29 arabic letters,

heavy letters sound thick like we say 'AWE'some and all other letters are happy,just nice and in relax way

know where the letters are in the throat and no technical terms, just listen and say it.

If an american girl,who actually drove me to this class,and she never know this arabic letters before, willingly to cancel her weekend plan for this class,why are we reluctant?are we better because we are muslim?not a guarantee.

take home message : if you are reading this before 10am saturday Dec 11, and you are free this weekend,

go to bayyinat.com and register! no regret. this is the last class in Rochester. His schedule will pull him to west coast till next 11 months.(wow)

what I had been thinking is;

we are sooo overwhelming by big problems such as jews secret agenda,ulama's different point of view in many subjects, and whatnot, try to loosen up a little bit,those problems are going to be debate 'like forever'...and will never end.

not until we all look up in The Quran. Learn the beauty of it and bring the spirit alive.

such a long day today.gonna get some rest and start surviving again tomorrow.isn't that what we do everyday?sleep,wake up,survive,sleep again,..

p/s : if we have claimed we love someone,shouldn't we read His love letter everyday?

1 Muharram 1432?

Abu Hurairah r.a berkata”Setiap kali datangnya tahun baru membuat aku risau dan resah kerana semakin singkat umurku,semakin dekat ajalku,semakin tipis waktu pngampunan Allah terhadapku,semakin dekatnya hari perhitunganku..”

semakin dibaca baris-baris ni,betul.in fact,tepat sekali.Ya Allah,lalainya aku.

moga hari hari mendatang membawa manfaat,aku tahu jalannya tak mudah tapi aku kena sedikit lebih kuat dari sekarang.

Salam Maal Hijrah 1432.

azam tahun baru:

~keja sampai kurus,haha

~kumpul duit utk 3 ticket MY-NY untuk masa depan

~mengaji byk sket plus istiqamah

~perbetulkan dan constantkan niat

wassalam~

p/s lalala,next week tiga exam dlm 2 hari.kalau la bleh nmpk jwpn atas lapisan putih 10inci salji kt luar=)

little 'snow white' and nightview of Niagara Falls

the very first pictures of me and friends in admirable,alluring,angelic and enchanting snow!<-see how much i'm enjoying it?haha

because snow is luscious, dainty and awe-inspiring!love it!=)

Nigthview of Niagara Falls is divine!

The background of Toronto city of Canada adds up the blissful potrait!

masyaAllah=)

In fact, it is the second largest falls in the globe next to Victoris Falls in southern Africa.

Also,one fifth of all the fresh water in the world lies in the four Upper Great Lakes~ Michigan,Huron,Superior,Erie. All the outflow empties into the Niagara river and eventually cascades over the falls.amazing,isn't?

wrapping up the hols

wrapping up the holiday break.

i spent most of the time cleaning the house,renovating study space,kind of cleared some from the past, reminiscing most of them and blow some spirit for the next battle.

also,cooking and trying some new recipes.in fact, i looked up recipes on the internet,compared and blended them in together as i like them to be.mom,you gotta be proud of your daughter.she never be determined in cooking this much before.

the highlight will be the trip to buffalo. my friends and I rented a car,ME learning to drive on right lane and I finally did it well. need more practice and get the permit later in the quarter.

i am looking forward for girl's trip!.cant wait for that.

well.my dear friend said,''you was confused on the roads to go back to your house in Malaysia but you drive Honda Civic on US road?''

''again,thats not my fault,GPS did most of them here''

''plus,i miss my driver during last summer''

ohh yeah! Black Friday! a day after thanksgiving where everyone goes mad shopping designer brands clothes and accessories. I spent A LOT in Niagara Outlet from 11pm until 420am i think.we got back here to Rochester at dawn that morning.And went to Eastview Mall in downtown at noon. I really spent the opportunity to the fullest.

The most valuable-never-regret things I had bought definitely will be the Guess handbag,purses and Polo Ralph Lauren jacket. Imagine you have to wait 30 minutes lining up before get in the store,and another 30 minutes to check out?phewww~ the line for Coach is the longest one ever seen.I am not spending an hour waiting for it.Though I learned that store should be the first to catch in the next Black Friday.hahaha

Luckily, we have Forever 21 in Eastview mall but I was not done exploring the whole mall. Gonna be there again for sure.

Today, I worked about 10 hours in on-campus cafe. Easy job, deep frying the fries. So,the most spoken line of the day will be:

''Would you like some fries? Curly or french fries?''

A little tired (actually soooo tired) of standing for hours but when you see the smiles on customer's faces, the feeling just blew away. I have that kind of satisfaction when I cook or serve food. See happy faces of people you help on something and you got what I am saying.

So; words like ''Thank you very much'',''Awesome!'',''Have a good night'' or even ''Happy hols'' sure means something. I am glad people are polite and nice around here.

And not to forget,10hours of working today, I have enough refund for money I spent on the Ralph Lauren coat.=) here you go biha! gigih !

good luck everyone for winter quarter! who am I kidding? Its me who should be struggling on 3 laboratories. fighting! Its not solely about the good grades,its about what you are learning in the courses.so refix the intention,start it with whole new journey.

wassalam~
