All my troubles seemed so far away
Now it looks as though they're here to stay
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Yesterday - The Beatles

That's when I landed up in the hospital in Hospital Besar Kuala Lumpur (HKL). I had a tumour that time, without knowing. The doctor finally diagnosed me as a mediastinal tumour. I know it's a hard thing to live with, but what can I do?? I have to face it. With a so-called terrible 'chemotherapy', which has the chance of killing people doing chemotherapy. I did a total of 8 cycles which is equivalent of doing a regime of chemotherapy for 5 days in a ROW for a week.

I tell you, this was when I said about chemotherapy, "This is a DISASTER!" That chemotherapy really leads me to have occasional vomiting and nausea, of course; even the aged people can't really bear it. Well, I did it for 4 cycles. After those 4 cycles however, the doctor examined again that the tumour was just removed of about a trace (of about less than 10%, say). So the doctor ask for another surgeon from Institut Jantung Negara (IJN) to perform the surgery to remove the best amount of tumour they can do for me.

It was a relief after the surgery. The surgery was a success! But, when the doc in HKL contacted us back, they found out from the lab That's where I spent the last 4 cycles of chemo again, (which I dislike) :(

Well, It goes the same as the one before. After the 4 cycles, I was frankly done with chemo! Just another regular check-ups to go.... In fact, I was just about 20 years of age but the range of normal patients were diagnosed at about 30 - 50 years of age. That means it is a rare case I guess. If you want to know about my symptoms, maybe just read this on...

Become greater humans...

Male or female?
Either one is the same.

Why this was so?
Because we are humans.
Neither we have our same characteristics nor colour,
but we have our own special abilities.

Why this was so?
This was because we were unique.
However, no one is perfect,
because for what we do,
whatever we did before,
we always made mistakes.

However, for every mistake we do,
we can always learn from it.
Because that is the way to become greater humans.

Kesempurnaan puasa menurut Imam Al-Ghazali

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. Renungan kepada umat Islam semua.

Menurut Imam Al-Ghazali (dipetik daripada kitab Ihya' Ulumuddin), ada enam perkara yang perlu dihayati orang Islam bagi memperoleh kesempurnaan puasa, iaitu:

1. Menahan pandangan daripada sesuatu yang dicela dan makruh hukumnyaserta melalaikan diri daripada mengingati Allah.
2. Tidak menggunakan lidah kepada perbuatan maksiat seperti mengumpat, mengeji dan berdusta. Imam Al-Ghazali berkata, alangkah baik jika seseorang berdiam diri atau menggunakan lidahnya untuk kegiatan yang mendatangkan pahala seperti zikrullah (berzikir mengingati Allah S.W.T)
3. Menghalang telinga daripada daripada telinga ucapan atau kata-kata yang ditegah agama. Rasulullah S.A.W bersabda yang bermaksud: "Yang mengumpat dan mendengar adalah sama dosanya."
4. Mencegah anggota lain seperti tangan, kaki dan perut daripada melakukan maksiat. Umpamanya, kaki tidak boleh digunakan untuk untuk ke kelab hiburan, tangan tidak boleh digunakan untuk mencuri dan perut tidak boleh diisi dengan makanan haram serta subahat.
5. Tidak keterlaluan ketika iftar (berbuka) seperti makan terlalu banyak. Seseorang yang bersikap begitu tidak akan mendapat hikamh dan fadhilat berpuasa. Bagaimana seseorang boleh menentang musuh Allah dan mengawal nafsu jika ketika berbuka, dia sentiasa mengutamakan nafsunya.
6. Meletakkan hati sentiasa dalam perasaan khauf (cemas) dan mengharap kepada Allah. Ini kerana seseorang tidak mengetahui sama ada puasanya diterima Allah ataupun sebailknya.

Wallahu'alam bissowab.

Kemujaraban kalimah 'ALLAH'

Assalamualaikum. Marilah kita hayati sebentar...

Baru sahaja dapat tahu daripada salah satu daripada sahabatku. Inilah yang saya mahu kongsikan. Ada seorang ahli psikologi yang bernama Vander Hoven telah menemui penemuan tentang pembacaan kalimah dalam Al-Quran dan juga pengulangan kalimah 'Allah'. Beliau juga telah mengesahkan bahawa kalimah 'Allah' telah membantu dalam penyembuhan terhadap pesakit-pesakit yang mempunyai sakit mental, mahupun yang mengalami tension.

Beginilah apa yang dirumuskan oleh beliau tentang kalimah 'Allah' apabila disebut secara mendalam:

1. Huruf 'A' yang disebut awal kalimah tersebut dengan cara menghembus keluar daripada sistem pernafasan dapat mengawal pernafasan.
2. Huruf 'L' apabila disebut secara bersabdu yang menghasilkan satu pause pada lelangit, apabila mengulanginya secara berterusan, akan merehatkan pernafasan.
3. Huruf 'H' pada akhir kalimah pula menyambung antara paru-paru dan jantung, yang dapat mengawal degupan jantung dalam badan.

Hmm... Apa yang menariknya adalah beliau bukan seorang Muslim, tetapi beliau pula gemar dan tekun mengkaji tentang Islam dan juga rahsia di sebalik kitab suci Al-Quran. Subhanallah. Memang dengan jelas sekali Allah telah memperlihatkan kita tentang tanda-tanda Allah. Allah juga telah berfirman dalam kitab suci Al-Quran:

Kami akan perlihatkan kepada mereka tanda-tanda kekuasaan Kami di merata-rata tempat (dalam alam yang terbentang luas ini) dan pada diri mereka sendiri, sehingga ternyata jelas kepada mereka bahawa Al-Quran adalah benar. Belumkah ternyata kepada mereka kebenaran itu dan belumkah cukup (bagi mereka) bahawa Tuhanmu mengetahui dan menyaksikan tiap-tiap sesuatu?

Surah Fussilat, ayat 53

Walaupun ini salah satu daripada tanda-tanda Allah, ada banyak lagi tandaNya yang dapat diperhatikan di seluruh dunia. Apatah lagi ini bulan Ramadhan iaitu bulan turunnya Al-Quran, jom kita tadarus Al-Quran dan berzikir namaNya pada bulan ini kerana bulan inilah bulan keberkatan bagi orang yang mengamalkannya. Kepada yang membaca blog ini, bolehlah sebarkan kepada sesiapa yang belum tahu tentang ini ye. Selamat beramal. :)

Wallahu'alam bissowab.

Happy holidays, everyone!

I know, I believe that almost everyone here is having holidays, right? Convince me if I'm wrong. Haha. Hmm... Such a boring holiday huh? Well, why not we think about this in a bit. Time for us to imagine here. Did we actually know that the word 'holiday' consists of? Doesn't it consist of two combined words of 'holy' and 'day'? Then, if we are able to realize this, then we should also be able to distinguish those two words mentioned with the word 'holiday' itself.

So, would you think that I want to say that we should do someting holy? Well, I would say, definitely. Why? Because this is the time to show gratitude to God who has created the world, to bring remembrance to God. Not to say that we cannot enjoy the holidays just after crossing the mind over the word 'holy'. Still, we can enjoy where we can, but don't enjoy too much though, seriously. Frankly speaking, if we enjoy too much, we would get bored eventually right? So, my simple advice is, enjoy while offering prayers. That's why I wanted to bring this forward to the topic. Haha.

Since this is holiday, why not we just look back at the past? I would also need to remember this myself too. Look back at whatever sins we have commited, look back at anger, hatred, sadness etc. Sometimes we did not realize to do this. From there, we can actually bring those back to the current and take them as a positive thing to perform better in life. Just like some people quoted this, "Be positive in life." If we think it positively, maybe we could succeed in this world or otherwise. Together we can be better for a better tomorrow in this borrowed world, since we would die one day. We won't know. Only God knows.

Time for us to ponder. Whether we live in an easy-peasy life, a miserable life, we just have to face it whether we like it or not. Face it with a smile, since smiling is sadaqah (charity). If we smile to people who are in sorrow, maybe they will smile back at us one day when we face the life full of sorrow. Maybe you might have heard this long time ago that smiling is also infectious. Haha. I was about to laugh at this one, but actually, indeed, it turned out to be so true. So, smile! =)

Last thing to bear in mind, we just need to do good wherever we go. I think I won't be able to write that many words, but I think it's worth sharing, since sharing is caring. Haha. I think that's for today. So as I were saying, happy holidays, everyone!!

p/s: That picture doesn't have anything to do with this topic though. Just a decoration for the blog itself. Haha.

Wassalam.
