Say La Illaha ill'Allah....

I was reading my favorite book again.

Have just finish reading the chapter about Hell. Its very scary. One day, I will share it on my blog.

As for now, I would like to write something for the chapter on Paradise.

Taken from the book '' MUHAMMAD, THE MESSENGER OF ISLAM – HIS LIFE AND PROPHECY''

Muhammad (saw) narrating his trip during Mikraj.

Then Jibrail knocked on the gates of paradise.
The guardian Angel of the garden, 'Ridwan called out asking, ''Who is it ?''

Jibrail answered, ''Its is I, Jibrail''.

''And who is with you?'' asked the keeper.

''He is Muhammad'' answered Jibrail.

''Has the time for prophood arrived then ? '' the angel from within.

''Yes, it has come'' replied Jibrail.

''Alhamdullilah'' said Ridwan and opened the gates.

I then saw that the hinges of the door were of silver, its treshold was of pearl and its casings of precious Jewels.

We stepped inside and I beheld Ridwan, seated upon a carved throne, surrounded by a host of angels who stood in attendance. They gave me honour and soluted me with respect.
I greeted them and gave Salams.

Ridwan welcomed me with joy, giving good tidings. ''Most of people of Paradise are from your nation.'' He said.
''The all Mighty have divided the Jannah in 3 parts. 2 of whom are appointed from your nation, while the other from other nation.''

In front of Ridwan, there was a great number of keys, and I asked him, ''What are these keys ?''

He told me ''When a person of your nation pronounces the words, LA ILLAHA ILL'ALLAH, the lord AlMighty creates for him a mansion in Paradise, and HE gives the keys to this mansion into my safekeeping. On the day of Ressurection, when the person rises from his tomb, I give him the keys to his mansion and he takes residence therein.''

Some Pics to share this Friday...

Happy boy @ Genting...

He was quite scared of the oversize bears behind him.. hee...

View from the hotel....

The sunrise was just magnificent ! Subahanallah...

AIF !..

Alhamdullilah its Friday !

How fast time flies.. feels like I just wrote an AIF! post.

I was at Masjid Kassim just now. Little Habib is sleeping at my parents place tonight and I just felt like going somewhere peaceful and where else but Allah's house.

Masjid Kassim is having a book bazaar....wuhoo.. books galore... wish I had loved books during school days lah..hur. I bought 3 books for Little Habib and none for me cos I still have some books yet to be compleated.. althought I may go back over the weekend to buy a book or two...

Posing with Uncle Mac....Cute tak ? hee....

Children books on sale outside Masjid Kassim...

3 books for bedtime stories...

Recovered...

Its Mid week...

Alhamdullilah, I have recovered from the grip of the flu bug.
Little Habib is also much better now. He's phelgm seems to be better and no more fever.

Our Little tyke has reached 10mths of age.

His activeness is like an energizer battery, but he does slow down when its sleep time. He seems to be curious over everything and he must explore everything in his path.. i worry that someday, he might pick up something dangerous and put it in his mouth...

its seems that he falls sick each time he turns a month older...is that common amongs babies below the age of 2 ? The old wives tale abt 'tukar bulan' must be true...

Its also easier to feed him these days. I wonder if i can start feeding him normal food instead of just cereals.. The Pead advise to wait till his 1 yr old.. Still no teeth yet but it seems that he knows how to chew already..

**********

The Habaibs have left Singapore and headed to batu Pahat to visit Habib Ali.

When we get our own transport, Insyallah hubby promised to try driving up to visit Habib Ali. He really wants to drive up there.. Only with an experience guide I say.. Dont ask me to look at the map huh... I remember roads through my memory only.

But I dont know if I should tag along and go to Batu Pahat. Does Habib Ali accepts female visitors ? They say there is a shopping mall newly built behind Habib Ali's house.

**********

While i was sick, i missed 2 maulid, and 2 ceramahs. : <
1 by Shaiyh Riduan Jumaat from Egypt @ Masjid Ansar and 1 by Sheykh Afif and Ustaz TM Fauzi @ Bedok Staudium. Luckily my friend went and told me abit about it. Its good to have friends who share ilmu.

I happened to read some hadith Sahir Bukhari and read up on sickness.

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:

I visited Allah's Apostle while he was suffering from a high fever.

I touched him with my hand and said, "O Allah's Apostle! You have a high fever."

Allah's Apostle said, "Yes, I have as much fever as two men of you have."

I said, "Is it because you will get a double reward?"

Allah's Apostle said, "Yes, no Muslim is afflicted with harm because of sickness or some other inconvenience, but that Allah will remove his sins for him as a tree sheds its leaves."

Bitten by the FLU Bug...

My head feels giddy, my eyes are sleepy and Im doing my sat duty in the office now. My tongue is numb from the medicine. Bummer !

All i need now is to go home, have a good sleep and then wake up re-charge for tonights maulid at Mummy Asmah's house. Don't know If i can make it or not in such a state.

The flu bug is around.... Little Habib just recovered from flu and bronchitis. As much as I hope he dont inherit asthma from me, it seems that at 9mths plus, he has shown signs of asthma. Phlegm and runny nose...Poor little boy. Sabar okie... sakit itu kafarah
'' Ummi miss you, and once Im well, you can come home and sleep with me and Abah again okie..''

Anyway, I was on half day MC yesterday.

So I went home, bath in a cold shower to bring my temperature down and solat zohor. Just as I was about to sleep, I heard someone opening the main door. When i rush out of my bedroom, I saw my mum, her helper and Little Habib. They had come by secretly to clean my house for me as my mum new I was sick and wanted to give me a surprise !
well ... mothers.. they are just great and thoughtful ! what will I do without my mother. I must learn to treasure her more because we've seemed to grow apart these days ever since Ive moved out... deep down, I still remember her everyday. We used to be the best of friends...so many memories yet as time progresses, changes are inevitable.

AIF ! .....

Alhamdullilah.. Its Friday..Ive got the flu bug, but Im still working..I wonder y myself.

Maybe cos I took ½ day mc yesterday afternoon and went to the Haul instead but i had to leave after Magrib as I felt v sick.

I saw Sheikh Riduan, Sheikh Affifudin ( the Habib with the green eyes and lighted face ) , Habib Jiddan , Ustaz Ismail Kamus , Habib Hassan Alattas of course and many more Habibs from Indonesia and Malaysia.

After Asar, i manage to get a spot in the Masjid and niat Iktiqaf and co-incidently, it was the same spot where I sat last 2 years ago.

The place was so pact as usual. By Magrib when I left, there were many many people outside the mosque, some praying near the drains.

There we many Hadith that the Habibs were talking about and they made many doa... I cant remember much ... hehe, in a daze cos was on panadol.
But i remember this Habib said that Almarhum Habib Muhammad bin Salim Bin Al-Attas was a Wali Allah and we should remember his contributions and coming to his haul because to just see the Habaibs that attend the haul is an Ibadah.

Hubby came around 5pm and the mosque was full to the brim already but he said he walked in and found a nice slot for him to be in the Iktiqaf area. Next to him was a man from Melacca.
The man told hubby that Allah has help hubby get a spot in the iktiqaf area because probably hubby always help people.


Hubby told me that he felt that if you have the right intentions, Allah will help you.
The man also told hubby that Almarhum Habib Muhammad bin Salim Bin Al-Attas used to sit right below the big chandelier at the centre of Ba'alwie mosque and talk on his own as if there was someone there. And people often wonder who he was talking to but many said he was talking to Rasullulah ( s.a.w ).
This spot is also a spot where many people hope to pray at to get the barakah.

Hubby told me that the 'Air perigi' there is good. Hmm maybe when we have our own car, we can drive to Ba'alwie, solat 2 rakaat and then take the 'Air perigi'.

As I was typing this blog entry, i received a sad sms that will make any ummi cry.

Baby Danish bin Zulkarnain passed away today at the age of 8 months.

He was suffering from brain tumour. May Allah give patience to his parents and bless them with more. Hubby and me had always wanted to visit this baby but we always put it off. Now I had wish we did go and visit him. The last time i saw him was at Masjid Alkaff during Aidil Adhar last year when Little Habib did the akekah and Baby Danish did akekah too.

When a child pass away, the child will become the one to give syafaat to his parents in akhirat, so his parents may feel sadness now, but when in akhirat, they are the lucky ones.

Hauls

There is the Ba'alwie haul today.

I cant go unfortunately as Im ending work at 6.30 today and also having abit of asthma. But Hubby is going insyallah. He will try to leave ard 5pm to go to Masjid Ba'alwie.

The thing is with the men, they can come to the haul even after magrib and there would still be space in the masjid area.
But for the ladies, by Zohor, all the space in the masjid Iktiqaf area will be full and even by Asar, the whole tentage area for the Muslimahs are full.

I went there 2 years ago for the haul which was a last minute decision when hubby urge me to go too. It was a first that I attended a haul.

I took time off at 4.30pm and took a cab there. When I reached there, the mosque was so pack, with policemen outside to controll trafic coming in and out of the side roads.

At first, I dint get to sit in the mosque as it was sparsely full but all the praying area had bags to 'reserved' space for whoever had come earlier but had gone walking around to eat or to go toilet.

But After much coaxing from hubby to find a place to sit in the mosque, i finally went in and sat on a prayer mat that already had bags reserved, but i push aside the bags to make some space for me. Needless to say, during prayer time, I was cramp in between as I has such small space
but of course I was happy and thankful that my first visit to Masjid Ba'alwie sent me right in the Iktiqaf area.

Hauls are interesting and bring many blessings. Imagine the Angels decending down from heavens to attend this hauls too.

Many Habaibs would come from all over the world. They are usually big Imams, Sheikhs , Kiyaies.
They will each take turn to speak about the blessed wali whose haul is being held eg Ba'alwie or Habib Nuh or they will give some good advise following Hadiths.

Or some of them recite the Quranic verses or sing Qashidah. I remember hearing Sheikh Riduan from Egypt reading the Quran and his voice was so smooth, and I remember Sheikh Affifudin from Iraq singing Qashidah.

And there was this sheikh from Sudan who sang a qashidah with an African tune.

Insyallah, I plan to go for next year's haul. See next year, insyallah, we will have our own transport and i will take advance leave and Little Habib will be abit older.

Last Sunday was the haul of Habib Nuh AlHabsyi.
I went there at Palmer road to pick hubby up and at 9plus pm, the place was still so pack with jemaahs. There was a big tentage for the jemaahs to eat at. Hubby said the queue for the briyani was so long that he only finished eating at 10.00pm.

Habib Nuh is from the decendant of the prophet from Saiyidina Hussein r.a. side.

I remember visiting his maqam with hubby once when I was trying for a baby.

Our intention to visit this wali Allah was clear.
It was not to ask from him to give me a baby but i had gone there to ask him to help doa for me to Allah.

These Wali, they are very close to Allah and their doa is makbul. And Alhamdullilah, shortly after I visited Habib Nuh, I found out I had a cyst and when the cyst was removed, I managed to get preggy.

I believe, it must be berkat from visiting Habib Nuh and saying my doas at his maqam as if he is hearing and is helping me to doa as well.

I feel that its good to visit Maqams of walis. But our intention must be correct and there should be no syiriq / malice involve.

Is Habib Nuh still alive ? Well.. according to Surah Al-Imran (169-170)

'' Think not of those who are slain in Allah.s way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord; They rejoice in the bounty provided by Allah. And with regard to those left behind, who have not yet joined them (in their bliss), the (Martyrs) glory in the fact that on them is no fear, nor have they (cause to) grieve. ''
''Dan Jangan sekali-kali engkau menyangka orang-orang yang gugur pada jalan Allah itu mati. ( mereka tidak mati ) bahkan mereka hidup ( secara istimewa) di sisi Tuhan.''

I read this book that hubby bought at the maqam last year '' LAMBANG TERUKIR'' DALAM MENGISAHKAN MANAQAIB HABIB NUH BIN MUHAMMAD ALHABSYI yang Syahir.
Written and compiled by Ustaz Ghouse Khan Suratee.

Its filled with the biography of habib Nuh and his karamahs.

There are too many stories and facts to mention, but the book is very interesting and mind blowing i must say.
Habib Nuh can walk in the rain without being wet.
Habib Nuh can cure the sick miraculously and he can turn water into milk for hungry babies.

I think I shall not mention more because all this might be too hard to believe for the unbelievers.

Habib Nuh was born in 1788 and left this world on the 28th of July 1866. He was 78 years old.

This Sun morning, Hubby would be going to haul of Sheikh Umar Alkhatib at Masjid Abdul Razak.

Insyallah may Allah bless my family when the doas of the Habaibs befall on Hubby when he is there.

The job Offer

I did it.. Ive rejected them. A load off my mind.

Though I feel so so guilty not listening to hubby's advise, I feel that I know myself better and my limitations.

I am not one who will slog like a career woman for the $$.

I treasure my time after work, and Im not very willing to stay after work hours even when the pay is so good because all I want to do is rush home and be with my baby and my family and my home.

very much a trade of a domestic manager ? But sadly, not able to afford staying at home for the moment as I still enjoy going to work in a 9-5 job and we still have some loans on our shoulder.

This job that i was recommended by offered me monetary gains but with higher pay means higher expectations and if it means I must stay back to do testings for any online loads, then I must do it. Work performance must be there otherwise 0 bonus.
And there is a possibility of work on Sundays if any clients request although not very often.

An ex colleague of mine left that place after just 8 months as she could not take the demands of the job. I fret if she a senior cant handle it, i might not as well, of course this is only an assumption of my capabilities.

Im am thankful with my current job, the pay is acceptable for my living, able to go home on time, good colleagues, good working atmosphere, nice office but there is one major factor which makes me must move on and I will continue finding for the right job and hopefully the next time, my heart will feel more incline towards it. Insyallah...

Another chapter of my life has gone by. Whether I dealt with it correctly or not, i can only hope Allah (swt) forgive me.

Sleepless nights isnt a good sign

I havent had the mood to blog for a few days..

big decision to make and somehow i know im going to dissappoint hubby..

can u imagine waking up a 3am in cold sweat for 4 days straight ? I made my mind up and changed it and made it up and changed it again...

if this job is meant for me, y am I not feeling calm about it..... i dont feel good to leave my current job for another competitor. If it was a different company, there would be less doubt.

The pay is great ! and can wear tudung yet the drawback is with bigger pay means greater job commitments, work stress , less time with Little Habib and the home ...more hours at work. Im not fine with that.

Ive istighara, Ive read Ratib and asma-ulHusnah, ive spend my last third of the night telling Allah I need his guidance yet only Hubby feels good but Im not prepare to move to a much better paying job but lesser time with my baby.

I must make my decision tomorrow... and maybe it will be another cold sweat night for me...

sorry hubby...im just not career minded as how you want me to be.. *sobz*

Good night bloggy...

AIF !

Alhamdullilah Its Friday.

Our habibi Little Habib had fever the whole of this week.

After much sponging, bathing him in cold water, feeding medicine, he's recovering. I really must thank my parents for giving him such good care while me and hubz are at work.

I think Little habib may be teething but the DR at chaichee healthline says that its not due to teething as teething will not invoke a high fever of 38degrees.
Im not so particular about his developments because I can see that hes active and healthy but im so anxious to see his first tooth. He's already 9mths plus and all the symptoms of teething are there eg he puts in his finger pressing his gums and biting everything in his path... but still no sign of those milk teeth.

This week, I didnt manage to read much except for 1-2 pages of Hjh Aminah Adil's book on our Prophet Muhammad ( s.a.w ).

I would like to share some of the stories on my blog one day.. Its my best sirah book collection although hubby keeps questioning me of the authencity of the hadith and some of it, we have not come across before.

Anyway, I learnt from Ustaz Suhaimi that a weak hadith which is not Sahir cannot be use for a HUKUM but it can be use to promote Amal. This kinds of hadith are called Hadith Mursal.
Anyway, here is a nice hadith that i would like to share on my blog, but again, I dont know where this hadith comes from.

Jibrail A.S once came to Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) and said
'' Allah has given me the knowledge to count every leave on earth, every fish in the sea, every star in the sky and every partical of sand on Earth, but there is only one thing I cant count. ''

Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) asked '' What is it ?''

Jibrail a.s replied '' When one of your Ummah recited Durood or Salaams to you, the Blessings Allah (swt) showers upon him becomes impossible for me to count.''

Innallàha wa malâikatahû yusallûna 'alan-nabiyy, yâ ayyuhalladhîna âmanû sallû alayhi wa sallimû taslîmâ. (Allah and His angels send blessings on the Prophet: O ye that believe! Send ye blessings on him, and salute him with all respect.) 33:56

Silence and Iman

Lately, I can feel myself evolving into a much different lady with a different set of personality.

It cant be a midlife crisis one so often calls such things. It also cannot be menopause too... hur hur hur....

Its just that I can feel the change so greatly that I myself cant stop it because I feel comfortable in such state. I feel peaceful.

For one, I no longer talk for not much reasons. Malays term it as menceceh... I dont menceceh anymore..
When I talk, I like the topic to be something good or something helpful.
I like to help my friends, give opinions but it has to be a helpful constructive opinion and no longer just discing anyone or anything.

And the only time I talk silly is with my little baby Habib. With him, I can be the most cutesie ummi.

But putting little Habib aside,
I prefer to just keep quiet, think to myself, keep the thoughts to myself, analyst to myself, smile and just look and blog of course.

We all mellow as age passes and mellowness can come anytime. Its not that Ive become anti social.

Heck, I still love to be in the company of my love ones, relatives, friends and colleagues.. but the crook of the matter is, I dont want my silence to be term as sensitivity or anti social but more of maturity and self restrian.

Unless its something that I simply have to let it out or need advise, I will look for hubby. Hubby is the most grounded person I know. HUBBY is one of my pillars of strength.
He seldom talks following emotions unlike us women. It could be a guy thing.
When I talk to women, most of the time, emotions will take over and sometimes that may be no good unless its a good advise over an opinion.

Hubby have thought me a lot of self-restrain, and patience that I sometimes just talk to him to share instead of asking him for an answer as I know what he will say.

He also noticed the change in me and just advise me to be moderate in everything.

Today, on our way to work , he told me that whenever I have a problem, depend on Allah ( swt ). Dont depend on human beings.
Human beings will only disappoint us. This applies to everything eg work, friendships.
Ask from Allah ( swt ) and he will help. Do good to Allah ( swt ).

Me: dear, how do we be good to Allah ? (i know silly question but i just like to tab from hubby's faith. )
Hubby : have lots of patience , zikir , think of Allah and do what he ask even if its the very basics such as prayers then du'a.

This he say was the advise that the late Almarhum Ustaz Abdillah often gave to his students.

Ustaz said Dont depend on humans, dont put yr dependent on a human being because humans can disappoint us but not Allah ( swt ) . Allah does things only for the best interest for us.

Almarhum Ustaz Abdillah also advised his students that when we want to seek an advise or opinion from a person, look first at his iman. Is the person someone who has iman ? Talk to people who are knowledgeable yet also practise Waraq in their daily life.

I hold true to my faith that Allah will help me, I just have to keep being on the straight path and believe. Like Bon Jovi's song 'KEEP THE FAITH'. Hee.

Lately too, I keep hearing a voice whispering to my ears. Its weird but I cant be insane because this voice only comes out when I tend to falter.

Anyway, Im sure many of us have voices to help us or the opposite. Its could be the angel on our right or on our left OR it also can be the wretched devil doing his work.

Just this morning, I was looking at the mirror and then I lamented in my thoughts Y is it so unfair for me. Y is my contributions not seen, and not told off yet for others, their good deeds are told so openly. Life can be so unfair.

Then this voice said to me '' y do u want people to know your good deeds or whats you've done.. as long as Allah knows, thats the most important. Allah knows everything good and everything done even if its as small as a sawi seed and Allah is ADIL.''

and then I said YES.. yes thats right.. I dont need for people to know my deeds. I dont need much recognition for Allah knows and He is fair and He will show when the time comes.

And then Im happy and I smile and I kept quiet and just blog about this because Im happy that I know that voice is my IMAN.

Istikhara....

Solat-Istikhara

This "prayer for guidance" is often used to help in important decision-making .

Anytime a Muslim is making a decision, he or she should seek Allah's guidance and wisdom. Allah alone knows what is best for us, and there may be good in what we perceive as bad, and bad in what we perceive as good.

If you are ambivalent or unsure about a decision you have to make, there is a specific prayer for guidance (Salat-l-Istikhara) that you can do to ask for Allah's help in making your decision.

Should you marry this certain person? Should you attend this graduate school? Should you take this job offer or that one?

Allah knows what is best for you, and if you are not sure about a choice that you have, seek His guidance.

The Prophet Muhammad said, "If one of you is concerned about some practical undertaking, or about making plans for a journey, he should perform two cycles (rak'atain) of voluntary prayer."

Then he/she should say the following du'a:

Oh Allah! I seek Your guidance by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty. You have power; I have none.

And You know; I know not. You are the Knower of hidden things.
Oh Allah! If in Your knowledge, (this matter*) is good for my religion, my livelihood and my affairs, immediate and in the future, then ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me.

And if in Your knowledge, (this matter*) is bad for my religion, my livelihood and my affairs, immediate and in the future, then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it. And ordain for me the good wherever it may be, and make me content with it.

Transliteration:
Allahumma inni astakheeroka bi ilmik. Wa'astaq-diroka biqodratik. Wa'as'aloka min fadlikal-azeem. Fa'innaka taqdiru wala aqdir. Wata lamo wala-a lam. Wa'anta-allamul ghuyoob.
Allahumma in kunta ta lamu anna (hathal-amra*) khayul-lee fi deenee wama ashi wa ajila amri wa'ajilah, faqdorho lee, wayassirho lee, thomma-barik lee fih. Wa'in konta ta lamo anna (hathal-amra*) sharrul-lee fi deenee. Wama ashi. Wa ajila amri. Wa'ajilaho. Fasrifho annee. Wasrifnee anh. Waqdur leyal-khayr haytho kan. Thomma ardini bih.

* When making the du'a, the actual matter or decision should be mentioned instead of the words "hathal-amra" ("this matter").

* After doing solat-istikhara, you may feel more inclined toward a decision one way or the other.

Back to reality....

I was trying to blog yesterday, had so many things to type on this blog, pictures to post but it wasn't meant to be.

Housework and laundry from the trip took away my time too.

and hubby and me had to go all the way to Bukit Batok to run an errand...in the hot weather...making me wish i had a car .

At the end of the day, this exhausted body was revived by a long urut from an arab lady from the neighbouring block. Boleh lah tahan... I needed an urut, and she charges cheap cheap.. poor lady, widower, mother of 4 schooling kids and the last one is special. I guess I'll stick to her from now on.

Lots of hauls this week and next week. Ba'alawi, Habib Nuh, Sheikh Umar Alkhatib.
Lots of big maulids too.. habib Abbas is organising a Maulid at Al-Weda and amongst the guest is Sheikh Afeefudin. Ustaz Salleh is also having a maulid soon I heard.
This time, I'll leave it for hubby to go. I'll take care of Little Habib, he is not ready to attend hauls and maulid yet.

Had a great getaway to Genting last week.

The freezing weather at night was nice... Little Habib seems to be the strongest of all, he didnt appear affected by the low temperature at all.. hmm ..must be the baby fats...

Hubby enjoyed this trip too. He did reflexology for the first time at a shop name 'Healing Touch' by a young chap name Abdul Jim and that he said was the highlight.. now, he's trying to find a good place that does reflexology and Im thinking Golden landmark...We saw a well know Ustaz getting his feet pampered there once...

now its back to reality..im home, i have to work and I have housework to think off.

Something weighing over my head now.. big decision to make.. time for istighara...

Oh Allah please help me. Im scared.

Is there any zikir or Asma ul Husna that helps one makes a decision ? I'll chk that with my ustaz this Sunday.

I'm too loyal and that makes me all feverish.

something is wrong with Blogger... the screen looks funny when im in the new post....

I'll try to blog again later....

Internet Cafe @ genting Highlands...

Salams Ya Bloggy....

I cant say much to u for Im using the pc at an internet cafe located at the indoor theme park in Genting... per half an hr is 7rm.
Hubby's surfing soccer net, Little Habib is taking an evening stroll with dadi and dada outside and here I am blogging.. Hubby said to me '' tak habis2 ngan blog u tu..''...

hee hee.... : p

anyway, the weather here is not that cold as expected.. everything's expensive.. but we mainly spend money on the themepark tkts and the food...
Little Habib hasnt pass motion since we left. He's feeling uncomfortable from it, and is cranky ! He's not his usuall self, passive and maybe shock to being away from hm so long for the 1st time.. but we're giving him lotsa of tender love and care...lucky I chose a 3day 2 nights trip for his trial holiday.

hubby's surfing soccer net now.. he's so evily happy that Man Utd lost to AC Milan and now Liverpool will meet AC Milan for the Championship soccer in Athens. We watched the match on NTV7 last nite at 2am...I just feel that Man Utd was out match / out played / out wit by AC Milan.. what happen eh ? Ronaldo ? Rooney ? gosh ! without Rio Ferdinand and u guys are soo...... : o

Tonite, Hubby and me will be watching spiderman 3 at the cinema. Another late night for me...hey, its been soooo long since we catch a movie together....

Im just hoping Little Habib wont be cranky in the coach during the trip home and start crying. May Allah let him pass motion before we depart for Singapore. he's not even drinking much... See, passing motion is such a nikmat that many of us dont think off... err..okie, dont want to get too gross here....
anyway, I fed him KFC's mash patato just now and he liked it...

oh yes.. another piece of good news.. Mummy F is preggy.. alhamdullilah... pal, Im sooooo happpi for ya ! My doa's are with u and yr baby in yr tummy...

Well bloggy, I guess I'll see u again when I reach home huh... till then, I miss u and I miss everyone...

Illaliqa Maas salamah.

Little Habib the crawler.

All Praise to Allah. I am well.

I have been reading alot of parenting blogs nowadays. And I subtlely talk to my friends who are 'mummys' nowadays on how they discipline their tods. Its never to early to learn right.

Little Habib have become active nowadays. He no longer sits quietly in the mosque.

There he is most nights for Isyak prayers where his crawling skills are largely motorised with a powerful engine making me crawl too to go after him hoping not to disturb the other jemaahs.

and he does not hesitate to crawl from one end to the other just to explore the little white 'used' tissue across the hallway. Eeeuuu.. whats with babies and tissues ?
Little Habib seems so intrigue by a piece of tissue, used or clean ones...

Hubby and me always share our thoughts on Little Habib and what kind of person we hope he would be when he grows up.

We talk about it all the time.

Hopefully by bringing Little Habib to Allah's house frequently, he will grow to be one who loves being close to the Al-Mighty. Thats our main aim really.

While we all want our children to succeed in the worldly matters, we should also want our children to be successful human beings who are thankful to Allah's blessings. I want to be the kind of parents like my arwah Grand Uncle . He left many good advises to his children that when he passed away, his children remembers his wise advises to them and alhamdullilah, they are all good people.

As parents, we are his main role models. I feel our past does not matter.

What matters is when our child is with us, we have to provide him good morals based on Islamic teachings. Islam is so wonderful. It has guidance for everything. Its is UNIVERSAL.

Islam is NOT Difficult and Islam is humble and kind. Follow the teachings of Rasullullah s.a.w and one will not go astray.

One other way that hubby and me bring our boy close to Allah is that we remind him of Allah many times in a day. We bring Islam in our way of life.

Eg, ''sayang, drink yr milk. Allah says milk will make you strong''

OR '' Buchuk ummi, its late, say your prayers to Allah and go to sleep''

OR '' its time to cut your nails, Allah love people who are clean''

It does not matter that he dont understand it now . But one day, he will ask us who is Allah ? and we will explain to him who is Allah.

and he will remember his parents words.....

and he will choose the right path, he will choose the right friends and he will be a good example to his own kids...
Insyallah.
