The Gun in the Arsenal to attack our misunderstanding in the value of this life and the hereafter would be :

Tafakur @ Reflection

The bullets of tafakur :
  • disattachment in this life
  • eagerness for the hereafter


I asked a question about insecurities in self to Bro Fadhi, our usrah naqib. What are we suppose to do when in an undecided state? Constantly, of little things in life.

"What to do? What to do? This or that? There's so many things to do. Argh!"

Sounds familiar?

I just realized that I wasn't the only one having that problem. Bro Fadhi did too, when he was in college(which he majored in maths btw). Well, what he said was maybe it's because of the age, so don't worry too much. When you grow older, and by experience you'll know what to do. Yup, he didn't seem to give an answer, only : not to worry. You'll grow up and you'll solve it yourself.

He told us about when he was in college, he was undecided if he wanted to major in maths. He was so undecided but he seemed to have graduated (excellently, i presume) in maths. So he said that he must have done something right after all. He was undecided in marriage, but he decided on something that was right and alhamdulillah has a 19 year old marriage with his wife and was gifted with children. The thing is if your undecided in petty things ( for me would be: either to study at the library or at my room? argh..undecided!); which I seem to have the problem, just do one thing or the other. InsyaAllah, it will turn out right.

Undecided in major things? Istikharah would be the answer. =)

Saying about istikharah, I just wanted to express my happiness(by words) of having my own toolbox! What's the connection eyh? funny.

I had this undecisiveness in my major last year. Mech eng or EE? Well, I did solat istikharah and one morning, I woke up and said to Azni : Nak major EE! Enough said. Well, I was sure with my true hearts calling when I opened the toolbox at the lab today(well, yesterday act). Ahh..my very own. I know this seems weird, but the solder, screwdriver, wire cutter etc were like ..ahh...*smiling*. I named my black toolbox : Squall. A character in FF8 and one of my heroes too. The gamer in me can't be rubbed off. It's still there I guess. Retired gamer? Never! Well, maybe not yet. But just taking a break. =)


-squall the toolbox-

" If you're too humble, you're a coward
If you have too much pride, you're arrogant.
So, be in the middle. "

Salam alia,

Yeah, I do remember when you were in the 'unsureness condition', you wouldn't be as cheerful as always, with a frown on your forehead and stopped eating (guess, i'm exaggerating here~ nevermind). It's great to know that you're happy in ur class now. ME. Well, I wanted to major ME too at first, and when I took the ME modul and knew what it's really meant to be.. I just knew that it wasn't for me. Guess we're the opposite huh? =)

can't imagine how it would be if I'm an ME major~

Teringat kisah masa zaman para sahabat; nak ikat tali kasut pun diorang istikharah.

Hebat kan?

Ha, cuba jawab soalan ni, siapa bina Masjid Aqsa?

sang kancil berteka-teki~

kalau tak silap Nabi Sulaiman a.s kan?

Haa.. sure cari kat Wiki ni.

Hmm.. Rasanya kalau baca dalam sejarah, Nabi Sulaiman pun bina balik Masjid Aqsa lepas rosak suatu masa dulu.

Dalam sesi kuiz time usrah dgn Dr. Awadh baru2 ni, jawapan dia Nabi Ya'kub.

Ada gak scholars yang kata Nabi Adam yang buat. Apapun, moral, masa mula2 dengar soalan mmg xtau nk jawab apa. Belasah je.

Kita sangat sokong perjuangan merebut Al-Aqsa, tapi siapa yang buat pun kita xtau.. malu2..
