Raya Celebration
11.27.03 (5:39 pm)   [edit]
We had another Open House for Eid
last time it was at Syed, Azam and Nash's House
and this time it was Ezy and Muyam's

People here are always great as usual
we had a fabulous celebration
I feel really like home
Alhamdulillah I have you guys over here
:)
 
Eid Mubarak
11.25.03 (10:20 am)   [edit]
It's Eid , after a month of Ramadhan
I didn't achieved everything that i hope to do in Ramadhan
so sad.. :(

However, we've managed to have ifthar with a few non-Muslim
that's one of the best part i guess
we had Peter, Liz and Sarah

overall, after Ramadhan this year
i know that there's a lot more to do
i'm not confident with myself yet
don't think i can make it to jannah
with this kind of attitude

i have to try to do more 'amal
put a pressure to myself a little bit
so that i won't be too lazy to prostrate to Allah
the Only One

ameen
 
ifthar with RD,RA and TA
11.20.03 (10:16 pm)   [edit]
We had our ifthar with 3 non-muslim friends
which turn to be our Residence Director,
Residence Assistant and Teaching Assistant.
Their names : Sarah, Liz and Peter Dias (accordingly)

They seems to like the food so much
and what is more important for us
is that they enjoy being with a Muslim community

We talked a lot
especially with Peter
since he is so friendly and has a lot of funny story to tell
I guess after talking about 5 to 10 minutes with him,
people will know why he was chosen
to take PhD straight after he finished his bachelor
He is a person who have a high IQ and EQ at the same time

Next time, inshaallah
we will try to invite more people
and be friend with a lot more cool guys out there
:D
 
fast-a-thon
11.16.03 (12:23 am)   [edit]
The president of national MSA
is so close to Malaysian community!
He can even talk in Malay fluently!
what a great surprise it was

Alhamdulillah the event went smoothly
I served the food to the guest and audience
after ifthar, we had a chance to listen
to a speech by the honourable guest
Brother Altaf Husain
who used to be the MSA president of Case
(at that time, it was Case Institute of Technology)

He was a prominent leader, I can say
during hi year in Case, he has been appointed to be
the leader of a few association
and it shown actually through his speech
how affirm he is with his own word
and he's such an assertive young man
who know exactly what he is talking about

I'm so happy

Volume 2, Page 29b: The excellence of the duha prayer
11.11.03 (8:46 pm)   [edit]

Many hadith describe the excellence of the duha prayer.

Abu Zharr reports that the Prophet sallallahu aleihi wasallam said: "Charity is required from every part of your body daily. Every saying of 'Glory be to Allah' is charity. Every saying of 'Praise be to Allah' is charity. Every saying of 'There is no God but Allah' is charity. Every saying of 'Allah is the Greatest' is charity. Ordering the good is charity. Eradicating the evil is charity. And what suffices for that (as a charity) are the two rak'at of duha." This is related by Ahmad, Muslim, and Abu Dawud.

Ahmad and Abu Dawud record from Buraidah that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: "In a human (body) there are 360 joints and man must make a charity for each one." The people said: "Who can do that, O Messenger of Allah?" He responded: "One may cover the mucus that one finds in the mosque or remove something harmful from the road. If one could not do that, he could pray two rak'at of duha and that will be sufficient for him."

Talking of the legal import of these hadith, ash-Shaukani says: "These two hadith point to the greatness, excellence, and importance of the duha prayer, stressing its legality as its two rak'at suffice for 360 charities. Something like this should be performed regularly and persistently. The hadith also establish the importance of saying 'Glory be to Allah', 'Praise be to Allah', and 'There is no God but Allah.' And [the importance of] ordering the good, eradicating the evil, removing the spittle, removing what is harmful from the path, and such other acts that will fulfill what is required of a person of daily charities."

An-Nawas ibn Sam'an relates that the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam said: "Allah said: 'Son of Adam, do not fail in performing four rak'at in the early day as it will be sufficient for the latter part of the day."' This is related by al-Hakim and at-Tabarani and its narrators are trustworthy. Ahmad, at-Tirmizhi, Abu Dawud, and an-Nasa'i relate it on the authority of Na'im al-Ghatfani with a good chain. At-Tirmizhi's wording is: "Son of Adam, pray four rak'at for Me in the early day and it will be sufficient for you for the latter part of the day."

'Abdullah ibn 'Amr says: "The Messenger of Allah sent an expedition and they obtained lots of booty and returned quickly. The people talked about their quick victory, abundant booty, and quick return. At this the Messenger of Allah said: 'Shall I not guide you to a closer battle, a greater booty and a quicker return? Whoever makes wudu' and then goes to the mosque to pray duha, that is the closer battle, better booty, and quicker return."' This is related by Ahmad and at-Tabarani. Abu Ya'la has something similar to it.

Abu Hurairah says: "My friend [the Messenger of Allah] advised me to do three things: fasting three days of every month, praying the duha prayer, and praying the witr prayer before I sleep." This is related by alBukhari and Muslim.

Anas says: "During a journey, I saw the Messenger of Allah pray eight rak'at in the early day. When he finished, he said: 'I prayed my prayer wishing and fearing. I asked my Lord for three things and He gave me two and withheld one. I asked Him not to put my ummah to trial by famine and He granted that request. And I asked that they would not be overtaken by their enemies and He granted that request. And I asked that they not be split into groups and parties and He refused that request."' This is related by Ahmad, an-Nasa'i, al-Hakim, and ibn Khuzaimah who classifies it as sahih
 
Solat Istikharah
11.10.03 (6:32 pm)   [edit]
It is a sunnah that, if one must choose between permissible alternatives, one may pray two non-obligatory rak'at, even if they are of the regular sunnah prayers or a prayer for entering the mosque, and so on, during any time of the day or night, and to recite therein whatever one wishes of the Qur'an after reciting al-Fatihah. Then one praises Allah and sends salutations to the Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam and recites the following supplication which has been recorded by al-Bukhari in Jabir's narration: "The Prophet sallallahu alehi wasallam would teach us al-istikhara for all of our affairs as he would teach us a surah from the Qur'an. He said: 'If one of you is deliberating over an act, he should pray two non-obligatory rak'at and say:

"O Allah, I consult You as You are All-Knowing and I appeal to You to give me power as You are Omnipotent, I ask You for Your great favor, for You have power and I do not, and You know all of the hidden matters . O Allah ! If you know that this matter (then he should mention it) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, and for my life in the Hereafter, (or he said: 'for my present and future life,') then make it (easy) for me. And if you know that this matter is not good for me in my religion, my livelihood and my life in the Hereafter, (or he said: 'for my present and future life,') then keep it away from me and take me away from it and choose what is good for me wherever it is and please me with it."

There is nothing authentic concerning something specific that is to be recited in the prayer nor is there any authentic report concerning how many times one should repeat it.

An-Nawawi holds that "after performing the istikharah, a person must do what he is wholeheartedly inclined to do and feels good about doing and should not insist on doing what he had desired to do before making the istikharah. And if his feelings change, he should leave what he had intended to do, otherwise he is not completely leaving the choice to Allah, and would not be honest in seeking aid from Allah's power and knowledge. Sincerity in seeking Allah's choice, means that one should completely leave what he himself had desired or determined."

laser tag
11.01.03 (4:24 pm)   [edit]
Today was great!
I went hiking with prof Buchner for SatCo class
then on the way back, I saw some Malays in front of Thwing.
They were waiting for people to go to Laser Tag Arena.
I ended up joining them.

At first I didn't even know how to play
We played Whirly Ball and i thought that was Laser tag.
it wasn't that fun for the firts time we played.
But after we mastered some skill, the game became fun and rough!
We enjoyed it so much though.
Malays team won once but list twice. All three games were played until extra time.

During the Laser Tag game,
Malay lost the first game, but we are proud that Abg Juwe had the highest score among all (6050)
I learned some skills and rule from him
and in the 2nd game, we paired up with another team
and won the match!
I scored 4320 (I only scored 605 in the 1st game)
It was really really fun
getting to know other people and having some fun after a week of hectic class schedule.
Tomorrow I should study so that I won't be too far behind others.
