Izzah ?

Ok, baca surah al-Alaq. Usrah dimulakan. Bro Fadhi didn't come to Morgan today. He had an emergency meeting, as Kak Ena said. So, we gathered at Kak Ena and Kak Raihan's house. We arrived quite late, mind you, Branscomb Quad is quite far and we had to wait for Diba, Zed and Syu from Kissam.

After everyone finished recititing surah al-Alaq, Maryam did her presentation which was called : Love towards Allah. I took some notes, unfortunately I left mine in Zed's bag. I wouldn't want to just type it down without referring to my notes. Anyway, Kak Raihan did her presentation too after Maryam finished hers. More like she wanted to continue it next week. Well, next Wednesday I guess.

Kak Raihan talked about Izzah today. Izzah which also means pride, dignity and self-esteem. She questioned us all : Why do you think Islam is a barakah for us from Allah? What makes you proud to be Muslim? I'd like to share what I wrote down, but again, my notes are with Zed. The second questioned hit me hard. Am I proud to be a Muslim? Of course, I do. But then again, why would I sometimes feel uncomfortable when people stares? It's easy to say that you're proud to be a muslim, but do you feel it? Do you feel deep down in your heart that you do. Do you mean what you say? Do you act as if you're proud to be one? She made us tell what would we do to acquire Izzah. Some said through knowledge, and..geez, I do have a short term memory loss problem. I'm really sorry I can't finish. So why would I post the entry then? Well, so I won't forget. Because I tend too. And it's for me to read back and remind myself.

I'll update this one later and add my notes in it. =)

Before we went back, Kak Ena told us about the story of Kak Tahirah, she was an inspiration for Kak Ena, and I know why. Maryam said this : 70 lelaki soleh tidak boleh menandingi seorang wanita solehah. As an 18 year old, you tend to look for figures as guidelines, (guidelines is not a proper word, i think) Anyway, yes, Kak Tahirah is a figure to be followed. Was she ameerah helwa 2005? ( I forgot again!)

Seems like I don't know many things and I have to learn much.

But learning is fun. By the way, first day of classes went okay, I guess. And I'm already sleeping late although I have a class tomorrow. I really do have to practise Rasulullah's Sleeping habits. =)
