Actually pergi masa cuti sekolah. Abah datang dengan Cik Idah sambil bawa 2 orang anak saudara saya, Danish dan Batrisyia. Abah datang sebab nak berjumpa Dr Zhu di Acuputomy Centre yang saya pergi dulu. So, kesian kat kids yang tak pergi mana2, saya bawaklah ke Taman Tasik Perdana. It was a short trip by abah, anyway, so tiadalah tempat-tempat lain lagi menarik yang boleh saya bawa mereka-mereka ini. Actually, having a great time need not be expensive. Dekat Taman Tasik Perdana pun boleh seronok juga. 2 trip kami naik train (er, train ke shuttle? apa2 lah ye... sila rujuk gambar :-p) Bayarannya 20 sen untuk kanak-kanak dan 50 sen untuk dewasa. Saya rasa telah dicaj lebih, tapi takpelah.... Seperti biasa, bila ada aktiviti berjalan aje, Nurin akan komplen penat.... huh....sabar jelah.... tu la sebab awak bulat ye....(umpama pot calling the kettle black? hehehe) Here are some of the pics....

Countdown to IQKL
Last week I got a call from IQKL. A very good news which confirmed that Sarah is accepted into IQKL. Alhamdulillah. I was driving when I got the call. Thinking that it may be bad news, I told the lady to wait as I park my car by the roadside. Thought I needed the strength to listen to the bad news. The lady had to repeat what she said to me as I was dumbfounded!!! Seriously I didn't think she'd make it! Ya Allah, I'm just thankful that You answered our prayers! Thank you papa, atuk, umi, ayah, ustaz Fahd and all who prayed for Sarah. Again, jazakallah khairan kathira from the bottom of our heart!
Some would say, private bolehla! Bear in mind, no matter how much money we have, if Allah doesn't permit it, Sarah won't be able to enter IQKL. If not, why do I need to go from 1 school to another? Takpelah, tak kisah. I've never cared what people say anyway! What matters most is Allah knows my intention and why I'm doing it. I can only pray that whatever path I choose will eventually lead us to Jannah. I've done a lot of things which I'm not proud of and I'm still trying my best not to steer away and go astray. May our family have a place in Jannah, insyaAllah! Let us pray that with Allah's mercy, all of us together with our loved ones will enter Jannah, insyaAllah!

My quest....
Since February I've been browsing the net trying to find a suitable school for Sarah. SMK USJ 12 is one of the good schools in USJ, no doubt about that but secular schools definitely lack the balanced and holistic approach that Islamic schools have. Unfortunately, during my quest to find an Islamic school for Sarah, I have come to realise that without PSRA, it's pretty difficult for her to enter any Islamic Schools, even private ones. I went as far as Rembau to send Sarah's application- Yayasan As-Sofa's Sekolah Tinggi Islam. I also checked out the ones in Johor and Kelantan. Why Johor? My family is there. Kelantan? Hubby's relatives are there. If she has to go to Kelantan or Johor, it'll be less worrying.It's coming to the end of May and still I can't find a a school for Sarah. It's a tiring journey but I believe Allah has plans in store for us.
"Boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu, padahal ia amat baik bagimu, dan boleh jadi (pula) kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia amat buruk bagimu; Allah mengetahui, sedangkan kamu tidak mengetahui.” (Al-Baqarah: 216)
Translation:
"...But it is possible that you dislike a thing which is good for you, and that you love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knows, and you know not."
Then two weeks before June called ajak gi IQKL. She wants to send her son there. I called IQKL before this, siap tinggal phone number asking them to please call me if ada spot kosong? Tp memang takde kosong. Since June nak gi IQKL, I tagged along. We met the Ustazah who happens to be the Vice Principal at IQKL. June managed to get an interview for her son. On the other hand, I asked whether there's any spots for Sarah. She said no more spots for girls as the girls' dorm is only 1 floor as compared to the boys who occupy two floors of IQKL building. Sebelum balik, Ustazah bg name card dia. Dalam kereta, June cakap, jangan putus asa. Try aje call dan buat rayuan lagi sebab ada anak kawan June yang baru masuk. Itupun selepas ibunya bersusah payah ke IQKL. Balik rumah, I called the ustazah. Apa pun, last Friday, I finally secured an interview session for Sarah at IQKL in pinggir Tmn Tun. Yippie. Feedback oleh ustazah ok cuma Sarah perlu improve bab tajwid dan kelancaran dia. So, Sarah needs to go for the 2nd interview on 9th June. Semoga Allah permudahkan! Hoping anyone who reads this piece to pray for Sarah, ok? Jazakallahu Khairan Kathira...

Hijrah si kecil
Minggu ni beriya2 Naznin mintak nak pakai tudung. Saya bukan tak izinkan cuma saya nak dia faham yang hijab is not fashion. I want her to wear hijab not because people pressured her to wear but because she knows the significance of wearing hijab- which is her obligation as a Muslimah as stated in our holy Quran.
“O you Children of Adam! We have bestowed on you raiment to cover your shame as well as to be an adornment to you. But the raiment of righteousness, that is the best. Such are among the Signs of Allah, that they may receive admonition.” (Quran 7:26)
Terjemahan BM:
Wahai anak-anak Adam! Sesungguhnya Kami telah menurunkan kepada kamu (bahan-bahan untuk) pakaian menutup aurat kamu, dan pakaian perhiasan; dan pakaian yang berupa taqwa itulah yang sebaik-baiknya. Yang demikian itu adalah dari tanda-tanda (limpah kurnia) Allah (dan rahmatNya kepada hamba-hambaNya) supaya mereka mengenangnya (dan bersyukur).
“And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what must ordinarily appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husbands' fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers, or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons, or their women or the servants whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex, and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O you Believers, turn you all together towards Allah, that you may attain Bliss.” (Quran 24:31).
Terjemahan BM:
Katakanlah kepada orang Mukminat: "Hendaklah mereka menahan pandangannya, dan memelihara kemaluannya, dan janganlah mereka menampakkan perhiasannya, kecuali yang zahir sahaja. Dan hendaklah mereka menutupkan kain tudung ke dadanya. Dan janganlah menampakkan perhiasannya, kecuali kepada suami mereka, atau ayah mereka, atau ayah suami mereka, atau anak-anak mereka, atau anak-anak suami mereka (anak tiri), atau saudara-saudara laki-laki mereka, atau anak-anak saudara laki-laki mereka, atau anak-anak saudara perempuan mereka, atau sesama wanita, atau budak-budak yang mereka miliki, atau pelayan-pelayan laki-laki yang tidak mempunyai keinginan (terhadap wanita), atau anak-anak yang belum mengerti tentang aurat wanita. Dan janganlah mereka menghentakkan kakinya agar diketahui perhiasan yang mereka tersembunyi. Dan bertaubatlah kamu sekalian kepada Allah, wahai orang yang beriman supaya kamu beruntung.
“O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them (when they go abroad). That will be better, so that they may be recognised and not annoyed. Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful.” (Quran 33:59)
Terjemahan BM:
Wahai Nabi, suruhlah isteri-isterimu dan anak-anak perempuanmu serta perempuan-perempuan yang beriman, supaya melabuhkan pakaiannya bagi menutup seluruh tubuhnya (semasa mereka keluar); cara yang demikian lebih sesuai untuk mereka dikenal (sebagai perempuan yang baik-baik) maka dengan itu mereka tidak diganggu. Dan (ingatlah) Allah adalah Maha Pengampun, lagi Maha Mengasihani.
Saya faham bahawa hendak melentur buluh biarlah dari rebungnya. Anak2 perlu diajar untuk memakai hijab seawal mungkin. Saya tidak mempertikaikannya. Cuma bagi saya yang bukan siapa2 ini.... saya mendidik dan memberi informasi terlebih dahulu dan praktikalnya kemudian. Maksudnya, saya beri penerangan kepada anak2 bahawa apabila mereka akil baligh, I myself will ensure they wear hijab, until then....I will not make them wear hijab. Tapi alhamdulillah, Allah bukakan pulak hati Sarah dan Naznin untuk memakai tudung despite me telling them to wait. Reverse psychology kot! Yang kita tak bagi tu la yang depa nak buat! Kids!!!! They always do the opposite of what we want them to do....(I'm referring to my kids ye!)
I just pray that Allah gives Naznin and Sarah the strength to forever wear hijab. I also pray that my relatives and friends to be given the strength to finally wear hijab. It may be difficult sebab menongkah arus zaman....but if you do it for Allah....masyaAllah....the reward is greater...from the bottom of my heart I sincerely pray may one day Allah softens your heart to finally wear hijab, InsyaAllah. Please don't get me wrong, I have nothing against people without hijab....Like what I wrote in one of my postings....siapalah saya untuk mencari2 kesalahan orang lain sedangkan terlalu banyak dosa yang perlu ditanggung. Maafkan saya andai posting ini mengguris hati anda...sesungguhnya all of you are in my prayers....always, insyaAllah!
