Fatimaa dear

All in a sudden, i have this urge to post another entry today. Funny but true, i have no idea how long has it been since i last opened this blog. i would say almost a year ago probably. I was so determined back then to commit to update this blog, claiming it will be a revival point in my career as an amateur blogger..hik. Verily, "Istiqamah" is the hardest skill to turn to habit.

Now, I can't stop thinking of my dear friend Fatimaa who is most likely still wondering where has Rose been hiding this week. She is a dear friend, concern and caring as a good sister could be. Surprisingly, she's 3 years younger than i am.

"Rose, you need to be more open, be dependent to other people" she said last friday in my room. "Everyone thought i was dictating you". Owh, dear dear Fatimaa, she was hurt when another friend of us said she was pushing me out socialising.

The day before, we talked and got to know one another. I was surprised to learn that she had a better and proper Islamic teaching than myself and she knew a lot about Islam. When she saw my surprised face she remarked "Why? You think you're a better Muslim than i am?". Yes, it was harsh but she smile afterward.

I am falling in love with RBH already, not just because of the hospital itself but the people around me too, being such lovely and charming. In the flat, there were a mixture of people - syrian, sudanis, Malaysian, Indian, Somalian, Britons, and African-Carribean. Everyone was lovable! Thank you Allah for such companions. O Allah, please make my prayers come true. O Allah The Most Merciful and All-Knowing.

One thrilling summer week....

Summer is my favourite season of the four... Lively and energetic!

This very moment, bright light is showering my glassy window generously, bringing joy and happiness to the room. I always find a great relief to close my eyes, have a big smile and breath the air very deeply metaphor as a greeting for the sunny day. One...two....three..! Huh, AlhamduliLlah, Thank you Allah for letting me have this pleasure again and again for the past 25 years.

In a way, Allah swt is cheering me up for this week will truly be a heart-throbbing week for me ever.

Just going through one phase in my life, back in 1989. An image of a young bright chubby girl, with a dark bushy hair, wearing all boy clothings, jumping all over recklessly in front of the whole family members saying "i want to be a doctor, i want to be a doctor!!"... Yup, that was me alright. Who ever instill that idea into my brain, i have no clue what so ever. I was so into it, all my friends were made aware of my big ambition. "Rosma is a doctor, Along a lawyer..." My bestfriend Nurul (we called her nuyu) used to make that remark. I can't remember what was her ambition back then. May be a doctor, since she always gave me bout of injections whenever we played 'doctor-doctor' together.

Hehehe, i missed every moment of my childhood days. Alhamdulillah, now, Along (her real name was Anis) is a lawyer, and Nuyu, a pharmacist. I am on my way to my dream. Yet, the true real point to find the answer is this Friday, 13th June 2008. Owh...how fast the time has been for me. That's the reason i'm so thrilled yet numbed this week.

Help me Allah, help me o Allah to be patient, and submit to your will whole-heartedly.

Amin

Qunut Nazilah

ERTINYA:

Ya Allah ya tuhan kami, sesungguhnya kami menjadikan kamu sebagai pendinding kepada musuh-musuh kami, dan kami berlindung daripada kejahatan mereka, Ya Allah ya tuhan kami, binasakan kesempurnaan mereka, dan pecah belahkan jemaah ( parti ) mereka, dan gagapkan perkataan mereka ( melalutkan mereka ), goyahkan pendirian mereka, dan hantarkan anjing ke atas mereka dari anjing-anjing Mu wahai tuhan yang garang, wahai tuhan yang berani, wahai tuhan yang berdendam, ya Allah,ya Allah,ya Allah.

Wahai tuhan yang menurunkan al Kitab ( al Quran ), dan yang menjalankan awan, Tuhan yang menghancurkan tentera Al Ahzab, hancurkan mereka dan berilah kemenangan kepada kami. Amiin.


PENERANGAN
Doa Qunut Nazilah dibaca ketika kaum muslimin terkena bencana, ancaman, penganiayaan, penindasan musuh-musuh Allah dan musuh kaum Muslimin.

Seperti dikisahkan dalam Hadits Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim, Rasulullah SAW pernah melakukan qunut selama satu bulan untuk mendoakan pembunuh-pembunuh para sahabatnya di Bir Al-Maunah.

Dari Abu Hurairah RA :
"Sesungguhnya bila ingin mendoakan seseorang, Nabi Muhammad SAW membacakan qunut sesudah ruku' (Hr. Bukhari dan Ahmad bin Hambal).

Doa Qunut Nazilah dibaca setiap sholat fardhu jahriyah (mahdzab Hanafi), sedangkan selain madzhab Hanafi, Doa Qunut Nazilah dibaca setiap kali sholat fardhu.

Mari kita bacakan doa ini untuk saudara-saudara kita kaum muslimin dimana saja berada, khususnya yang sedang terkena ancaman, penganiayaan, dan penindasan musuh-musuh Allah.
