Counting the days..
|
|
While counting the days, i will still have the time to accomodate to a few of my dearly tasks..
Syukur that we have safely returned home and found that our families are fine. Except Mak, she is getting old and plus the usual sakit lutut, she hardly travel nowdays-she always knew that she had to ask for "special assistance" from the airport staff from checking-in and until the arrival. Thought of taking Mak to see her latest grandson, Adam, in Surrey right after.. However, had to wait till she is really ok. Summer has come to an end, it will be cold. Wonder whether she could take it..
Can't believe that we came back from Umrah and had almost a week of jetlag! I had for almost 2 weeks.. wonder why.. Nasib baik ada Euro Cup! Could be of the hot wheather in Makkah, and most of our time we spent in the Masjid itself. Most of the hotels around the Masjid sudah dirobohkan, therefore, it took us almost 15 mins of walking per way between the new hotel and the masjid.. But, that was ok, jauh perjalanan, luas permandangan.. Kaki tangan mata kita akan bercakap di Akhirat nanti sebagai saksi di hari penghisaban.. Wallahualam

Makkah, its Miracles!
|
|
Alhamdulillah.. Our fourth day in Makkah. Aku redha that Allah SWT telah menjadikan aku seorang yang suka berfikir, what can I say, however the sad and sorrow feeling slowly fading away.. Iblis tu kejap timbul, kejap tidak.. Its okay, Malaikat-malaikat berada sekelilingku..
Again, while waiting for Zohor, as I continue opening the "Al-Qur'an Dan Terjemahannya", guess what I was about to read next!..
Juzuk 4. An Nisaa' (Wanita)
Keharusan Menjaga Kebenaran Dan Keadilan
Keharusan adil dan tidak memihak dalam menetapkan sesuatu hukum.
Ayat 105. Sesungguhnya Kami telah menurunkan Kitab kepadamu dengan membawa kebenaran, supaya kamu mengadili antara manusia dengan apa yang telah Allah wahyukan kepadamu, dan janganlah kamu menjadi penantang (orang yang tidak bersalah), karena (membela) orang-orang yang kianat),
Ayat 106. dan mohonlah ampun kepada Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang
Ayat 107. Dan janganlah kamu berdebat (untuk membela) orang-orang yang mengkhianati dirinya. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak menyukai orang-orang yang selalu berkhianat lagi bergelimang dosa,
Ayat 108. mereka bersembunyi dari manusia, tetapi mereka tidak bersembunyi dari Allah, padahal Allah beserta mereka, ketika pada suatu malam mereka menetapkan keputusan rahasia yang Allah tidak redhai. Dan adalah Allah Maha Meliputi (ilmuNya) terhadap apa yang mereka kerjakan..
MasyAllah.. Ajaib yang macamana lagi yang Allah SWT hendak tunjukkan kepadaku.. Mententeramkan hatiku ini
Anyway.. On our way back to the hotel for the lunch, we stopped by the pasar buah-buahan.. The grapes, masyAllah, huuuggeeee.. Kalau la my Dad ada, gumbiranya dia. His favourite! So while the rest picking up the grapes and others, I turned back and saw this cat. Black and white stripes.. Mula-mula dia duduk kat luar barber shop ni, then, agaknya panas, "ishh.. masuklah jap, nak aircond sket aah".. Tapi kasihan, one of the Barber kicked him out. I STARED at him, how could you! Obviously, I teringatkan si Mojo and Miji kat umah.. Nak nangis pun ada.. My bro-in-law perasan, and came usap-usapkan that cat and whispered "good boy".. That Barber was stunned. Imagine the cat, kotor ya rabbi.. Kusut masai.. Kucing rempit la katakan.. And look at us, well dressed and obviously clean white cloth that came back from the Masjid.. So what, kucing is binatang kesayangan keluarga Rasulullah SAW, end of story! Shortly after that, the cat was panting. What now, I was sooo panic! Quickly, Hubby poured a bit of zam zam (cold one ok!) on the floor. The cat licked.. Haus rupanya. So, I went cari an empty contenna from the dustbin, got it! We poured more zam zam.. And the cat minum happily ever after.. Aaaahh. Imagine, not a single lecah on the road, kering kontang.. sisa-sisa makanan ada la, but water is important to every living creatures. To tell you the truth, there were like many and many stray cats yang so kurus melepek dekat jalanan. Kasihan you know.. We named the cat "kucing yang dahaga"
Sampai pulak di hotel, there was another cat.. He was even worst than the earlier cat. Orange in colour. Melepek habisan by the entrance of the hotel.. Again, janji dapat sepoi-sepoi aircond coming out from the hotel.. I dah mula gelabah. Actually, we had seen the cat, same spot since yesterday.. I just can't concertrate having the lunch.. Took some nasi, ikan goreng, gaul.. Took a bowl of water and down we went to the hotel lobby.. "yum yum.." kata si cat. Tapi cat ni not bad, memilih.. Nak makan lauk aje, nasi tak mau. Hubby kata, "hun, ini cat arab, makan roti besar tu not nasi"  .. Shortly then, the cat dengan lemah gemalainya came to me gesel-gesel.. Then the cat went to Hubby gesel-gesel.. May be, in a way how he wishes thank you to both of us.. Then, the cat lepak balik at where he was.. Mmm
And guess what, as the road be the regular route between hotel-masjid.. Both cats were no where to be found, everytime we passed by, even the day after next.. Malaikat Allah SWT.. Wallahualam

Makkah, the second day..
|
|
Alhamdulillah.. Our second day in Makkah. Can't perform Subuh prayers.. due to dot dot dot.. perhaps too penat from yesterday's Umrah.. Sayang nyer, but Hubby brought back some zam zam and lantas berdoa "Ya Allah, i humbly seek for your forgiveness, please let me into the Masjidil Haram. i have too many submissions, i beg for your help.. i have promised Baitullah, and that willing to listen to every word that i had drafted from home.. kasihanilah hambamu ini Ya Allah".. Alhamdulillah, by the power of Allah SWT, I came clean and off I went for Solat Zohor. Now, define where did the magic came from??? Today, my due day! Last call, still "empowering", do you still dare?
Back from Zohor, I was shocked and how disgraceful of a person could be forwarding a request, and turned my Umrah to a disaster? Demi Allah, Allah SWT had again showed me terang-terang keperibadian manusia di akhir zaman ini.. Laknatullah. From that day onwards in Makkah, I can't perform my duties as khusyuk as possible. But Allah SWT with me all the way through, supporting me, "you can do this, concertrate, concertrate...." Ku gagahi ke Masjidil Haram dengan berzikir, "rabbi yasser walla tuasser ya kareem..(permudahkan dan jauhi segala halangan)". As usual, will always be at the Masjid an hour before, so that I could perform the sunat tahiyattulmasjid, sunat taubatin dan sunat hajatin.. zikir.. doa.. I doubled, tripled up the exercises due to the worst unfortunate event happened to me a short while ago. I desperately need peace of mind.. I grabbed "Al Quran Dan Terjemahan" from the shelves and guess what I read as I flipped randomly one of the pages.. Do you still want to dare Allah SWT?.. Wait till you hear this..
Juz 3: Ali 'Imran (Keluarga 'Imran) Page 107
Ayat-ayat untuk menenteramkan hati Nabi Muhammad saw
Ayat 176. Janganlah kamu disedihkan oleh orang-orang yang segera menjadi kafir; sesungguhnya mereka tidak sekali-kali dapat memberi mudharat kepada Allah sedikitpun. Allah berkehendak tidak akan memberi sesuatu bahagian (dari pahala) kepada mereka di hari akhirat, dan bagi mereka azab yang besar
Ayat 177. Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang menukar iman dengan kekafiran, sekali-kali mereka tidak akan dapat memberi mudharat kepada Allah sedikitpun; dan bagi mereka azab yang pedih
Ayat 178. Dan janganlah sekali-kali orang-orang kafir menyangka bahwa pemberian tangguh Kami kepada mereka adalah lebih baik bagi mereka. Sesungguhnya Kami memberi tangguh kepada mereka hanyalah supaya bertambah-tambah dosa mereka; dan bagi mereka azab yang menghinakan
Ayat 179. Allah sekali-kali tidak akan membiarkan orang-orang beriman dalam keadaan kamu sekarang ini, sehingga Dia menyisihkan yang buruk (munafik) dari yang baik (mu'min). Dan Allah sekali-kali tidak akan memperlihatkan kepada kamu hal-hal yang ghaib, akan tetapi Allah memilih siapa yang dikehendaki-Nya di antara rasul-rasulNya. Karena itu berimanlah kepada Allah dan rasul-rasulNya; dan jika kamu beriman dan bertakwa, maka bagimu pahala yang besar..
MasyAllah.. Perasankah Ya Allah akan sebentar tadi.. Betapa sedih teramat jiwa ini, patah luluh yang kecewa sangat hati ini, my 100% focus on the Ibadah Umrah bagai dicincang-cincang, diporak perandakan.. Sungguh terharu
BTW, my bro-in-law kata, iblis and syaitan tiada in the Masjidil Haram, the Baitullah.. is that true?
Lagi in Makkah..

Alhamdulillah.. We reached Makkah just before Solat Zohor (mm.. that was quite quicky of a journey from jeddah?!).. Perhaps, pokok-pokok, bukit-bukau, batu-batan.. Had recognized us both before 2 years ago "OHMIGOD budak2 tu lagi, duhh" they said, therefore, 'they' had shortened our journey.. It was predicted that Makkah will be between 45-53 degrees celcius. SubhanAllah, sungguh dingin bak salju
However, with the Ceasar's costume (Ihram) ready, we were informed that we could only perform our first Umrah after the Solat Asar.. We waited patiently until after Asar. Provided we monitor and maintain our Ihram away from anything membatalkan.. Alhamdulillah, after Asar, we were introduced to another Mutawif (ready with his Ihram) and off we went to Masjidil Haram.. "Assalamualaikum ya Baitullah", gembiranya hati tak terkata.. I saw my sis with hubby broke down tearful kegembiraan.. I wish the whole family of ours could be here.. Terlampau banyak yang hendak diceritakan, diadukan, minta pertolongan dan nasihat.. My submissions to you,.. As you will be the only One that will entertain me all these while and take my concerns as important as others.. You are the right person for this submissions.. Perhaps tomorrow, I said to Baitullah.. InsyAllah
So, off we went tawaf-ing the holly Baitullah.. Not so many people after Asar though.. Then, the Solat and Doa at Multazam.. Next will be Saei.. It was not that easy as it used to be.. Saei undergoing some reno.. Dusts, heat, everywhere.. Still Alhamdulillah, we gave ourselves to Him.. Off you go Dunia .. All we need was that piece of Ihram.. Not long after that, we had completed our first Umrah..
We agreed to stay-on for Maghrib n Isyak.. It was such a huge cobaan.. Dengan penatnya, mengantuknya.. Again, back to the Nawaitu, we were not on holiday, but we were performing an Ibadah, one duty to Allah SWT bagi yang berkemampuan, berniat dan berhajat, lagi-lagi yang memerlukan pertolonganNya.. Forget about the luxury hotel, scrumptious delicacies.. (Kasihan the caterers waited for us, as at times, we hardly return to hotel for the meals).. We are required to be in the least possible of any conveniences.. Itu lebih afdal.. SubhanAllah
Unbelievable story on our second day in Makkah, stay tune..

Madinah..
|
|
alhamdulillah.. things went well in Madinah. no "magic" so far in Madinah.. just can't wait the "magical moments" in Makkah..
so, this time around, finally visited the perkuburan para syuhadah. wonder why there were so many iranians (yg bwk kain panjang n selubung for sembahyang tu).. rupanya, imam besar (Syiah) they all bersemadi disitu..
the arrangement for kaum hawa to visit makam Rasulullah SAW pun different.. lepas solat, chief2 perempuan akan bwk sepanduk tulis "Persian", "Bahasa Melayu", etc.. it goes by countries la pulak. so for us, obviously the malay archipelago - org yg comeh-comeh saiz dia..
akan tetapi, we malay masih kena crush dengan giant2 while waiting, and into the raudah.. no matter what, your turn seem too long.. they will cut your que.. my kesabaran automatically turned into tearful session 
so, Makkah, here we come..

2 June 2008 - KUL/JED
|
|
Recently, Allah SWT had noted my humbly prayers, subsequently opened His door widely for us; myself, hubby, my bro-in-law, my sis.. for an Umrah. It was the second time for us, and was the first time for both of them..
Leaving behind, the families, our friends, and for myself, I had sacrificed the one thing that I loved so dearly. It was time for me to take a bow. Not much of my concern of the status nor the luxury to brag about, but the one kind of rezeki that Allah SWT had given to me.. Although for only a “touch-n-go” moment.. But, I did it, I did due to my submissive to the “nature” of human being, and for the sake of “ibadah”, prayers from family and friends and especially Doa from ibu bapa kepada anak-anak mereka.. Aminn..
However, for only a “quicky” of time, Allah SWT had shown me the truth, and nothing but the holly truth.. MasyAllah, for all these while, Allah SWT had blindfolded me from seeing 'perkara-perkara kemurkaan' Allah SWT.. Left nothing but the one with an old fashioned “truth”..
Ya Allah Ya Rasulullah, where should I submit my concern, to beg for comfort and support? He invited me to His office.. The address and venue of the meeting was Baitullah, Makkah al Mukarammah.. This meeting would ONLY by a special invitation.. It was sort of like a one-to-one interview, or undergone an MRI like I just did at Pantai.. Scanning every inch about you, from outer to the deep down of your soul..
Where can you run? Where can you hide? All and beyond, are His. He is the Chairman of the Universe and Infinity.. Dunia and Akhirat.. How can he be contacted? Blackberry? Faxes? It is through your Ibadah.. Solats and Prayers.. And finally TawakAllah lah kamu and He will contact you accordingly.. With definite answers and no justification required! Now, you may see what "empowerment" is all about..
Allah again had answered my prayers, that Hubby is ready to “lope”.. For the sake of my happiness, our joy in marriage.. Seeing his Wifey being “draining” out day after day, seing the Wifey in pain and faking the numbness of her crooked nerves befriends with the spinal cord.. No one cares.. Next!! Therefore, he is taking me away.. To a happyland. Wifey can have a good rest, .. Wifey can breed and nest dengan aman dan tenteram, atleast we could finally and possibly see the expensive fertility treatments would come to a value $$$$$. Again, Miracles would only come from Allah SWT, insyAllah.. Wow! Eermm.. Wifey can see Makkah every week! InsyAllah.. InsyAllah..
Umrah is not just a visit, it is one of our many duties.. You can't imagine how lucky you are, when you received the "calling", one day, His personal invitation.. Not many people will get this opportunity, and that is the fact. Look around you, and how many "RM figures" that actually have not perform the Umrah.. affordable, but just didn't get the invitation.. My personal definition in performing Umrah, is just one tiny minnie little hurdle that you need to cross over. The tests are consider minor, akan tetapi your utmost preparation untuk menjejakkan kaki ke Tanah Haram is very much required. The least you could get, will be a little slap on your face, "hey, wake-up", taubat dan bersyukurlah anda.. Performing Haj would be your greatest tests ever! I can't just visualize how lucky, the luckiest ever, a person could be when one day Tabung Haji has confirmed his/her seat to perform the Haj.. MasyAllah
No matter how many times you have performed Umrah, if it is not meant to be yours, it will never be. A nice person may turn into a much nicer person to the liking of everybody, and likewise, a bad person may turn into a nastier person, as they are or could be transform to the worst ever person.. Wallahualam.. Together, lets perform sunatan taubatin & sunatan hajatin in everyday 5 Solats.. and TawakAllah
