--12 Muharam 1429

Maal Hijrah 1429

MUHARAM adalah bulan pertama dalam tahun Islam (Hijrah). Sebelum Rasulullah berhijrah dari Makkah ke Yathrib, kiraan bulan dibuat mengikut tahun Masihi. Hijrah Rasulullah memberi kesan besar kepada Islam sama ada dari sudut dakwah Rasulullah, ukhuwwah dan syiar Islam itu sendiri.

Pada asasnya, Muharam membawa maksud 'diharamkan' atau 'dipantang', iaitu Allah SWT melarang melakukan peperangan atau pertumpahan darah. Namun demikian larangan ini ditamatkan setelah pembukaan Makkah (Al Baqarah: 91). Sejak pemansuhan itu, umat Islam boleh melaksanakan tugas dan ibadat harian tanpa terikat lagi dengan larangan berkenaan.

Peristiwa-peristiwa penting di bulan Muharam:

1 Muharam - Khalifah Umar Al-Khattab mula membuat penetapan kiraan bulan dalam Hijrah.
10 Muharam - Dinamakan juga hari 'Asyura'. Pada hari itu banyak terjadi peristiwa penting yang mencerminkan kegemilangan bagi perjuangan yang gigih dan tabah bagi menegakkan keadilah dan kebenaran:

• Nabi Adam bertaubat kepada Allah.
• Nabi Idris diangkat oleh Allah ke langit.
• Nabi Nuh diselamatkan Allah keluar dari perahunya sesudah bumi ditenggelamkan selama enam bulan.
• Nabi Ibrahim diselamatkan Allah dari pembakaran Raja Namrud.
• Allah menurunkan kitab Taurat kepada Nabi Musa.
• Nabi Yusuf dibebaskan dari penjara.
• Penglihatan Nabi Yaakob yang kabur dipulihkkan Allah.
• Nabi Ayub dipulihkan Allah dari penyakit kulit yang dideritainya.
• Nabi Yunus selamat keluar dari perut ikan paus setelah berada di dalamnya selama 40 hari 40 malam.
• Laut Merah terbelah dua untuk menyelamatkan Nabi Musa dan pengikutnya dari tentera Firaun.
• Kesalahan Nabi Daud diampuni Allah.
• Nabi Sulaiman dikurniakan Allah kerajaan yang besar.
• Hari pertama Allah menciptakan alam.
• Hari Pertama Allah menurunkan rahmat.
• Hari pertama Allah menurunkan hujan.
• Allah menjadikan 'Arasy.
• Allah menjadikan Luh Mahfuz.
• Allah menjadikan alam.
• Allah menjadikan Malaikat Jibril.
• Nabi Isa diangkat ke langit.

Marilah berdoa dihujung 1428H:


Doa Akhir Tahun dibaca 3 kali pada akhir waktu Asar atau sebelum masuk waktu Maghrib pada akhir bulan Zulhijjah. Sesiapa yang membaca doa ini, Syaitan berkata:

"Kesusahan bagiku dan sia-sia lah pekerjaanku menggoda anak Adam pada setahun ini dan Allah binasakan aku satu saat jua. Dengan sebab membaca doa ini, Allah ampunkan dosanya setahun"

Tidak lupa juga berdoa meraikan kedatangan 1429H:

Doa Awal Tahun dibaca 3 kali selepas maghrib pada malam satu Muharram. Sesiapa yang membaca doa ini, Syaitan berkata:

"Telah amanlah anak Adam ini daripada godaan pada tahun ini kerana Allah telah mewakilkan dua Malaikat memeliharanya daripada fitnah Syaitan"

SEMOGA TAHUN BARU MEMBERI LEBIH KEBERKATAN KEPADA KITA, AMIN

It's Friday

Yes, it's Friday. Am thinking of going to TGI's Friday, tapi siapa yang sudi membawaku? Hinted him last week during our outing to Pavilion, watching The Kingdom. Tapi tak dapat pun. And owh, JCO Donuts @ Pavilion really make me crazy! *drool*

Soo not in the mood. Mixed feelings today. Why eh? Btw, it's mogok week. Ah-ha, no wonder i'm not in the mood. Maybe.

I'm worried of something. It's a good thing people might say, but for me it's a oh-no-i'm-not-ready-yet thingy. Let's give it to the ONE to decide.

Please pray for me so that i can feel happier and relaxer, and please also get me the JCO donuts!

--moody n not happy

A short post

i have a friend, MAZLAN namanya. We studied at the same uni, taking the same course. Tapi masa tu dia majoring in System Eng, and i chose Software Eng [but at the end both of us terjun ke area network engineering]. After graduating, we both pursued our C***O network professional course and still, in the same class :P (what a co-incidence)

Now, we are working at the same company. What a mate: coursemate-->officemate. And yesterday, my very mate ni telah pun selamat diijabkabulkan with her soulmate. Ramainyee yang officemate lain yang datang. And owh, it was my first time to taste buffalo beef. Very the...SEDAP!

So happy for you mate! Congratulations!!!

p/s: unmanaged to capture even single pic. Enjoy our pics here (courtesy of mahertac)

Puppy Love, Eternal Love

Everybody! I'm celebrating my 10th anniversary of courtship with my husband! Yes, today.

Since we get married, there's no more celebration on the 14th, as the date has changed to every 2nd of June. (It's our solemnization)..so no more celebration la today..[i always wanted to..tapi tak ada org nak layan :( ]

10 years back was exactly in the year of 1997 and i was still, in form 5. We were in the same school, but i didn't know of his existence until we were in form 4. Being in different class, lagila tak kenal kan...the story began when both of us were chosen as our school magazine editorial board (where i was appointed as his assistant, masa tu dia jadi ketua editor of the magazine)--oh my, can't believe i'm writing this :P

Quoting our teacher's say when any of the editorial board asking permission to go out of the class for meeting or something: "Buat majalah sekolah ni satu tahun tak habis, busy sampai hujung tahun"--->ahaha, that reflected us: satu tahun tu jumpa, meeting, cari sponsor, photography session, covered story for any particular event happening at school(ye lah, kan nak msk kan cerita tu dalam majalah :P ) and so on...so that 1 whole-year-activities that made us need to meet each other every now and then had created the 'spark' between us (or should i say: dah memang gatal, kecik2 dah pandai nak mengorat ^_^)

Can't really remember when, but for sure somewhere in that year, i received a letter from the Ketua Editor! kwang kwang...i took quite few days to reply, (and menggelabah la jugak si ketua editor tu..takut2 if i let other people read the letter). Tapi masa tu, we considered the letter was only a letter to a friend, not love letter tau (walaupun dalam hati sendiri mmg define that as surat dpd boifren huhu). We only declared ourselves as lover on 14th of Nov 1997 (yikes! at the age of 17?) . That was the starting point, bringing us together until this day..maleh la elaborate panjang2..nnt jadi novel la pulak kan..

Huah! Am i writing all this? (still in disbelief)

Anyhow, I'm dedicating this to my beloved husband with a wish:

I love you, and only you. Happy our 10th Anniversary, dear!

Face Painting @ Damia's Birthday

Last Friday was one of Qaisara's nursery-mate birthday, and guess what: we enjoyed face painting activities! All kids were having much fun, except...Qaisara (appeda conteng2 muka sikit pun takmo ^_^)

Birthday celebrations are always held at this nursery, as most of the kids (which birthday falls on weekdays) spend almost the whole day there..so every month mesti ada big makan2, i think it's kinda happening having party with a lot of kids there.

Sweet Seven Ardini Damia

Time were quite limited for the celebration, (it was during Friday Prayer break, Damia's mum n me had to get back to work at 2.30) so the painting design was among the simplest..Managed to snap few pics with my handphone, but i missed the lil Spidey-Aiman and few more.

Painted faces, see Qaisara with the boringest look? hehe

'i hate face painting :( '

Qaisara: look at her face expression in sequence, looked like he hate the face painting the most! Haha, apalah anak mama ni.

Anyway, happy birthday to all celebrating it this month, especially to Qaisara's Grandma this coming 25th Nov!

Qaisara's Nightmare: Meeting Dr Christopher Lim

Not feeling well

A week after raya, we brought Qaisara to meet her paeds. Kesian my lil baby ni..her airways is too sensitive: that causes cold, wheezing and sneezing to happen very easily. To my surprise: Qaisara needs to take ventolin (to be inhaled for 5 days) and also Seretide (to be inhaled for 3 months). Ada lagi: Singulair (to be taken for 7 days) and one more (can't really remember the name, to be taken for 3 days) Hopefully after this, no more medication...

Siannye Qaisara!

Selamat Hari Raya!!!

~Mari bermaafan di Hari Raya~

Raya sebulan..INDEED! Last Sunday (dated 11/11) was finally how our 'raya kan sebulan' ended..still, 3 open house to attend (and of course to collect duit raya Qaisara ngeheheh). Very tiring, hectic raya this year. Weekends were full with open house and raya hopping (i didn't manage to settle even basic house chores on weekend, raya punya pasal la kan.. *wink*

However we had much fun! You know what, raya with your own baby defines new feelings: Semangat kutip duit raya!!! Qaisara managed to get around RM 800 (exact amt need to check with her Babah cum En bendahari). OK la tu, for beginner..next year kita kutip lagi..hehe

Qaisara's 1st raya experience

Babah Qaisara was really keen with Raya Hopping 10AM-10PM concept this year (and mama pun terpengaruh juge). We had raya hopping for our school friends and my office team-mate (dunno why hubby's office raya hopping x jadi).

My team-mate Raya Hopping

Itu saje cerita raya...now, back to work!

ehehehe

OOhh i'm so in love!

Not Talking

Listening to what he said this morning, his words offend me. Really. So much.

BukaPuasa@Rahsia

Last Saturday was the very first time buka puasa@outside for 3 of us. We were having much fun (except part take turn taking care of Qaisara n makan), meeting old friends and their kids..

Well actually it was an annual event of our so-called 'school batch alumni'..Since most of us dah kawen n having at least a kid, we chose to held it during weekend...the venue; for me is just an OK restaurant..(i wonder what is so special sampai dapat quite a lot of award).

It was a good time for Qaisara to meet her friend(s), and also auntie2 and uncle2 yang becok n bising :D . BTW, Qaisara wore all pink on that day, but looked pretty much like a...BOY...err you judge it yourself hehe (pics courtesy of ketua batch)

with uncle Faizal yang nak kawen daa end of this year

Ini budak pompuan ka laki2?

With some of my good friends

Normally we are among the last person going back, but this year it turned out the other way..sbb Qaisara sudah mengamuk penat!

Do I (Qaisara) need a nebuliser?

Pity my lil princess, down due to bacterial pneumonia and really have to struggle breathing..
Haritu masa 3 bulan kene acute bronciolitis...sorry baby, mama n babah pun tatau nak buat macam mana to prevent it from happening again.. :-(

She went through quite a lot of nebulising session (utk legakan kesesakan nafasnya itu). That means mama n babah kenala ulang alik ke klinik at least 3 times a day for the session. Penat! [Today mama need to rush (from mama's office) to nursery to pick up and send Qaisara to the clinic for the session, lucky me to have an office near to the nursery and clinic as well]

So..i was thinking of..BUYING A NEBULISER MACHINE! One of my officemate has this at home..and the good thing is, it can be used by anybody..

What do you think? Is it worthwhile to spend for the machine?

Silent Mode

Will not be blogging for next week, (eleh macam la selalu sangat blog) sebabnya:

1. have to study for my BSCI paper, nak exam!
2. Bulan Ramadhan Al-Mubarak..better do al-quran reciting more (insya-allah) than blogging
3. am busy thinking of what to cook for breaking fast and iftar (ngeheheh)
4. Qaisara needs me more, now x sihat after injection last week..

So enjoy Qaisara pics while i'm away! And please pray for my recertification exam, too: kena refresh CCNP dulu la pulak before go for CCIP *sigh*

Refreshed!

Am back from one-week-tedious-yet-useful training...ehehe n kena baca buku for the exam..heh! Hopefully i managed to get myself prepared for it...dah la bulan puasa exam tu..


Speaking of bulan puasa, this is our first puasa with dearest Qaisara.. Will i manage to prepare the food for breaking the fast, and Iftar as well? Frankly speaking, it is sooo hard to cook with the presence of Qaisara (unless if she's sleeping). Hmmm macam mana eh? teringat my husband comment on my very simple dish yesterday: Sedapla awak masak harini..walaupun telur aje tp mmg sedap. Telur aje? huhuihui..tersangat la simplenya lauk itu. Sebab itu je yang termampu. Qaisara needs my attention more :D

Whatever the reason is, i plan (have to) cook and cook for both of us..takkan nak beli aje everyday kan..i must! i must! i must!

Will update u guys for all dishes i cook (insya-allah)

AHLAN WASAHLAN YA RAMADHAN
