lailatulqadar - a quest for jannah

we are now in the last leg of ramadan.

the 10 nights that hold more rewards than the rest of our ibadah put together for a thousand years.

this is a quest for a place in the heavens.

a place fit for the prophets, the syuhada' and the most pious among all mankind.

may we be one of those who are fortunate enough to be chosen amongst them, insyaAllah.

this is the time where heavens go on SALE!

there are plenty of vacancies and choices for everybody and anybody;

regardless of age, race, wealth, gender and looks.

our chance to own a 5star accommodation without having to show a platinum visa or mastercard.

lets book a place in the hereafter and shop wisely.

all deeds whether good or bad will be judged accordingly in the day of judgement.

now is the time to rope in the BONUS!

find the night of lailatulqadar and empty your soul to Allah.

each night is special. therefore noone knows when it falls. so it is best to keep vigil and do plenty of solah and ibadah every night until the dawn of syawal enters the horizon.

Ya Allah, temukan aku dengan lailatulqadar pada ramadan tahun ini.

Panjangkanlah umurku untuk bertemu dengan lailatulqadar tahun hadapan.

Jika ditakdirkan aku mati sebelumnya, matikanlah aku dalam iman dan islam.

Sesungguhnya Engkau lah yang maha mengetahui.

daun selasih daun kayu

terima kasih thank you.

nisfu syaaban

salam

lest we forget the meaning of this significant day in the islamic calendar.

15 of syaaban, otherwise known as nisfu syaaban by the believers.

Allah has promised that every living things will receive their fair trials in the day of judgement.

when everything is left to the book of deeds and the wisdom of the Almighty Allah.

this book is changed every year and it is good that we observe our deeds so that only good things are written by the malaikat who keeps vigil by our side.

as such, being human, we are not far from committing mistakes and forgetting the amanah given to us by Allah, which is to obey and worship HIM at all cost.

thus, these mistakes are duly recorded and without repentance and regrets they will stay in it till the day of judgement. nauzubillahiminzalik.

the significance of nisfu syaaban is that, this is the day that this book is raised to the heavens to be kept with all the other books of the years that we have lived on this earth. Alhamdulillah, many muslims prepared themselves during the final pages of this book.

the coming of nisfu syaaban, symbolises new beginnings, new vision, and aims.

it is also time to wipe out unnecessary distractions that have kept us from our ibadah in the past.

it is time to renew our vows in worshipping Allah and time to strengthen our faith.

InsyaAllah, may we all be blessed and live in harmony in Islam.

although there are times when you get hurt by the one you loved, when you feel low, when you are left with unanswered questions, there is always Allah by your side. do not despair when you have no control over the affection of others. do not let hatred live in your heart when people hate you. let it be.

this is only to remind myself that no love is greater than the love for Allah. people can love you and leave you and hurt you. obviously, the wheels of life will turn and their time will come. soon if not later.

may Allah gives us strength. Amin.

SHEIKH MUSZAPHAR SET TO BE FIRST MALAYSIAN IN SPACE

BAIKONUR (Kazakhstan): Hospital UKM’s Dr Sheikh Muszaphar Shukor will make history when he goes into space on board the Russian Soyuz TMA-11 spacecraft at 9.22pm (Malaysian time) on Wednesday.

“It’s a small step for me, but a great leap for the Malaysian people,’’ Dr Sheikh Muszaphar – the first Malaysian to go into space – told the Associated Press, rephrasing Neil Armstrong’s legendary words after the Apollo landing on the moon in 1969.

He will spend 10 days in space, including eight on board the International Space Station (ISS) where he will be part of the ISS Expedition16 crew.


The TMA-11 craft carrying the 35-year-old doctor and his flight mates – Russian cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko and American astronaut Peggy Whitson – is scheduled to dock at the ISS at 10.51pm (local time) on Friday.

Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Cabinet Ministers and 280 students will watch the live broadcast of the launch at the KL Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur tonight.

On Sunday, Abdullah will hold a teleconference with Dr Sheikh Muszaphar who will then be on board the ISS.

Another first for the Malaysian Angkasawan is that he will be hosting a Hari Raya party on board the space station on the first day of Syawal. He has taken satay and some kuih Raya to treat the others on board.

At the ISS, he will carry out four experiments drawn up by Malaysian scientists.

Dr Sheikh Muszaphar is to study of the effects of microgravity and space radiation on cells and microbes, as well as experiments with proteins for a potential HIV vaccine.

The rocket – adorned with a Malaysian flag and coat of arms and carrying the Soyuz TMA-11 spacecraft – was moved on Monday to the launch pad from its assembly site at the Baikonur Cosmodrome, which Russia rents from Kazakhstan.

Malaysia is paying for the voyage as part of a billion-dollar purchase of Russian fighter jets.

Russia built the cosmodrome on the arid plains of Kazakhstan during Soviet times and has continued to use the site under a rental deal since the 1991 Soviet collapse.

Russia is marking 50 years of space exploration, having celebrated on Oct 4 the 50th anniversary of the launch of the first ever satellite, Sputnik.

Dr Sheikh Muszaphar is to return to Earth on Oct 21 with two Russian members of the current space station crew.

Whitson and Malenchenko will stay on as the station’s new crew, and will be joined in October by American astronaut Daniel Tani, who is arriving with the shuttle Discovery. Tani will replace fellow American Clayton Anderson, who has been at the station since June.
