Notes...

Abu Mukhtaar and Ihsan has written down most of the lecture notes from Habib Umar's visit in their blogs. Do take a look and read if you have the time. I must remind myself to read to refresh what I've heard. May Allah (swt) bless them for their efforts.

Tareem is still in my blood. I keep thinking about it although I've never been there. The thing is, my ustaz was a student there, so he told me and hubby many stories of the ulama'a there and how life is over there. So thats why, Im feeling this way.

Hababah Nur left a deep impression on me.. even when I was in her presence for just a few hours. Maybe because its the first time I met a Hababah.

If Im her student, I'd most probably burn the midnight oil studying cos Im scared of her. She seems very disiplin when she gave the ceramah but Im very sure she is a loving person outside of her classes. Too bad, I have no pictures of her as pictures of her and recording her voice is strictly not allowed. I understand why.

She advised the woman in the gathering to emulate Saidatina Fatimahtul Zahara. Really something I have to keep remembering so that I wont go astray. Insya'allah...

Ummu Mukhtaar was right when she tells me that Habib Umar came here with a mission. It was for us to remember akhirat. Something which we often forget. Habib Umar's doa at Masjid Istigfar was rather intense dont you think ? For those who understand Arab, Im sure it would have brought you to tears.

I was at Masjid Abdul Aleem Siddique last night for Magrib/Isyak. Ustaz Iqbal was there for the weekly kuliah in English. Im starting to love this mosque.

Jazakumullah khairan to you guys who painstakingly took notes and shared! :D At least yang tak dapat pergi dapat baca!

We're vaguely casting about for pre-school options too. And goodness me, is there no pre-school with fees less than $100? *faints* Tak macam zaman kita dulu seh..
