Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.

Hola dear brothers & sisters! :)

Como estas? Hopefully everyone is fine.

Alhamdulillah. I am here to update tidbit of "friendly reminder" or a wake-up call i could say? ;)

I was doing my very-simple-work just now and i have to jot down some important points on my Media & Comm notes. While waiting for the website loading, i made that moment useful to tidy up my desk, fortunately i saw a paper sipped inside a diary (well, it's not my diary. an empty diary indeed ;p). I took it out.....and it is a "note" to myself! :D

And it says like this;

" Sesungguhnya bukan mudah dan senang untuk memasuki syurga Allah. Terlalu banyak dugaan yang harus ditempuhi di dunia sebelum memasukinya. Didalam dunia, tiada istilah rehat bagi seorang Muslim yang betul-betul menghayati Islam. Rehat bagi kita yang sebenar ialah di Syurga. Jadikan DUNIA ini sebagai 'JAMBATAN MENUJU KE AKHIRAT'."

This note is quite simple and easy to understand somehow, it makes me feel alive! It is like a motivation to me. How about you?

Day two 2nd week of 1st Year

Dengan nama Allah yang maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang.

Assalamualaikum Ya Akhi Ya Ukhti :))


Muneerah is back here people!!! :D don't you feel the aura? No? =p teehee! anywayssssssss...... i miss blogging and here i am to share with you readers what is UP and what is DOWN!

urmm..nothing much to share but InshaAllah i'll make you read it more :)

As you can see my title is "day two 2nd week of 1st Year ofcourse 1st semester", yesss i bet you could guess what it is! I am newbie as an yeww bee dee-ian, officially. My 2nd week of school was OKAY, as in like ok-ok saja dong~

nothing much interesting except that i love the library and Alhamdulillah prayer rooms were provided in every faculties, so there's no excuses for us to E-S-C-A-P-E from praying and EXCEPT with besstttttttttt excuse! and even there is also a huge, beautiful, comfy mosque megah berdiri near by. wellll hello i bet everybody knows :DD

I remember yesterday that i had to be not-so early to be in school around 8plusAM somehow my lecture started at 11AM, but i have to be there not-so early because i had to join my sister's ride pasal apa? pasal i didn't drive my own car, and again why? pasal...........personal problem :) lols! screwww what am i talking about? lol~

okay forget that. the matter of fact i arrived at school around 8+ AM but i have class at 11AM, so i have to wait like 3 hours? so yeahh...i don't mind about that because i could stay in the lovely library (Y). A few hours later, my friend came up and i accompanied her to ADD/DROP modules in perspective faculty itself. it was awesome somehow...hehehe. because i spent time walking from one faculty to another faculty, searching for the programme leaders's room and i took the chance to familiarise the Uni surrounding :))

TOTALLY AWESOME! MashaAllah.

i know people would say "ngalehhh kaliahh jalan sana sini, jauh lagi tu mana lagi bepaluh-paluh, kaingg leherrr" =p , but for me it was okay and frankly speaking, YES i felt the same way like they do. sweating all over inside the baju kurong i wear, but thanks inda obvious pun saya berpeluh :D it just i felt the sweat inside my hijab i wore. BUT that's not a huge problem, as long as i enjoyed myself walking around with the comfy shoes, perhaps one day i would try wearing heels or pumps. yes? i jokes~ (^-^)

ohh..speaking about sweating, people prefer to pakai baju yang tight & short in order to keep cool. ya know like, wearing t-shirts and mini skirt and stuff like that, dengan alasan "inda jua panas, masuk jua angin kan daripada pakai baju kurung or pakai baju yang labuh atuu...begibar macam bendera" lols. okay that's random. this is my opinion lah. when we pakai baju yang sempit & nampak susuk tubuh plus with short pants/mini skirt anything yang tight or small (ibarat budak kecil pun boleh wear that clothes) we could say "nyamaan jua sikit nda jua panas, comfort yaww! easy to walk even running even sprinting". hah! that's exaggerating =p

but i think pakai baju yang longgar pun sudah memadai, right? pakai baju longgar angin senang masuk, kannn? hehehe! tapi janganlah pakai baju longgar TETAPI mendedahlan sebahagian badan. ermm....memang sekarang that type of fashion sudah ada & it's a trend. YES??

Yang nyata, what base on Islamic law is the right things to follow. In Islam we as Muslim women, and i repeat as a muslim women, we are(were) asked to wear baju yang menutup aurat. As stated in Al-Quran;


"Dan katakanlah kepada perempuan-perempuan yang beriman supaya menyekat pandangan mereka (daripada memandang yang haram), dan memelihara kehormatan mereka dan janganlah mereka memperlihatkan perhiasan tubuh mereka kecuali yang zahir daripadanya, dan hendaklah mereka menutup belahan leher bajunya dengan tudung kepala mereka, dan janganlah mereka memperlihatkan perhiasan tubuh mereka kecuali kepada suami mereka, atau bapa mereka, atau bapa mertua mereka, atau anak-anak mereka, atau anak-anak tiri mereka atau saudara-saudara mereka , atau anak-anak bagi saudara lelaki mereka ,atau anak-anak bagi saudara mereka yang perempuan, atau perempuan-perempuan Islam, atau hamba mereka, atau orang gaji dari orang-orang lelaki yang telah tua dan tidak berkeinginan kepada perempuan, atau kanak-kanak yang belum mengerti lagi tentang aurat perempuan dan janganlah mereka menghentakkan kaki untuk diketahui orang akan apa yang tersembunyi dari perhiasan mereka, dan bertaubatlah kamu sekelian kepada Allah, wahai orang-orang yang beriman supaya kamu berjaya"


And here is some points i can share with you;

Di antara cara-cara menutup aurat bagi wanita Islam ialah:

i) Menutup seluruh tubuhnya kecuali muka dan dua tapak tangan - i elaborate briefly here, that menutup aurat adalah sama seperti kita menutup aurat didalam solat, incase you don't know :) because i've experienced once/twice some people asked me, why i am wearing socks when i am out of my house which obviously, when i go out somewhere. then i answered as simple as i could, "aurat kita ketika diluar sama macam aurat kita didalam sembahyang". there you go! to be honest, dulu i was one of them, an ignorance person, jalan inda pakai socks to covered my two feet. Astaghfirullahalazim. and some of us don't even know about it. When i was waiting for my friend outside of the programme leader's room, there were two ladies passing me by and i could hear quite clear that they were talking about socks, and one of them said; "adakah ea menyuruh pakai stukin, cali kali tu ah, panas eh". Then i was just smiling and assumed that we all are/were ignorance. Semoga dibukakan hati saudari seagama ku untuk menerima Islam sepenuhnya. :)

ii) Pakaian tersebut tidak nipis sehingga menampakkan kulit - this is clearly stated, we as Muslimah wajib menutup aurat dengan tidak memakai baju yang menampakkan warna kulit. this is in a sense and clearly can be seen around us. so check tia pakaian kitane. i remember when i was in secondary school, the discipline teacher said "kain atu mesti lapis tu, karang nampak candas" LOLS!!!! i know right~~ very sarcastic! even the white kurong as if not the baju because still can see that, mcm X-Ray pun ada. and my friend once said " macam-macam warna ada, gerenti belawan siapa paling bright ne" LOLSS!! tapi masih jua ba-alif-ba-alif-lam. i was one of them jua. :\ tsk tsk tsk

iii) Pakaian tersebut tidak ketat - this one...hmmm. tepuk dada tanya Iman :D

iv) Pakaian tersebut tidak terlalu mahal - this one, weel it depends. we as Bruneian we live in comfortable & wealthy country...so we are so manja. mau jua yang branded. hehehe! kalau simpan one or two as collection perhaps that is okay but if it's too much i think sudah membazir. MEMBAZIR is kawan syaitan. mana lagi, we as Bruneian jangantah jauh...me myself dulu suka beli kain tapi nda jua dibuat jadi baju kurong, jadi hiasan dlm almari. And plus sudah dibuat baju kurong apa, mau jua bekatuk-katuk, bekisi-kisi, bebunga-bunga, bemanik-manik, befashion...yatah yang mahal tu. that is also consider mahal. there's a reason kenapa tidak disuruh berlebih-lebihan kerana ianya membazir! kalau pakai bali makanan kanyang sudah tu~ ;p

v) Pakaian tersebut tidak menyerupai pakaian orang bukan Islam. - This is interesting. we are in Muslim country but MashaAllah pakaian teenagers even yang tua-tua pun menjolok mata! Obviously, there's alot of "western" clothes being wear, check saja di Mall. kesian jua Mall terpaksa jua menyaksikan maksiat. menyaksikan pakaian ANAK-ANAK MUDA ISLAM yang menyerupai artis-artis barat. nya urang kitane "pakain style urang puith". mau jua up-to-date ahh. or kedai-kedai atu ibarat tempat pentas peragaan, catwalk shows! tsktsktsk. bukan nak exaggerating tetapi yang nyata, yang kita semua boleh saksikan. kalau besok-besok melawat Mall and semua orang Islam pakai yang sopan, menutup aurat dengan sepatutnya, Alhamdulilah. or maybe ana mimpi (-.-)

I add something here, mungkin sesetengah kita belum tahu and not really aware what HIJAB actually is. tak tahulah. ada yang tahu tapi buat-buat tak tahu. ok don't mind that. HIJAB is famously known as tudong. Tetapi, adakah selama ini yang kita ketahui tudong adalah kain yang hanya menutup kepala? menutup rambut? atau menutup rambut hingga leher? and again i take myself as an example, before i wore tudong to cover my hair, ears, andmy head. ya know like ladies always do with their tudong. BUT there is a BUT, i didn't wear it properly. eh? why? okay jua sudah tu tutup rambut apa. okay, let see...what did i do with the rest of the tudong, did i just pin and let it be or just ikat at the two end of the tudong? *pointing at the bucu tudong*, Exactly, after i pinned my tudong, i just fold it and heyyy my neck could be seen! there you go! that is not the right way of wearing tudong. let me tell you, the exact way of wearing tudong is as long as your neck cannot be seen and your chest is cover too. ohh..it mentioned in Al-Quran as well. :) // dulu, my father told my sister & i, tudong yang kami pakai dulu hanya menutup/membungkus kepala, because dulu we wore tudong like ipin then ikat as if like u know membungkus kepala saja but our neck & chest still could be seen. MashaAllah~

AND THE GOOD THING OF WEARING PROPER HIJAB AND CLOTHES THAT COVERED ALL YOUR AURAT, YOU CAN EASILY AND I AM SURE IT IS ONE ADVANTAGE THAT YOU CAN GO SOLAT WITH IT. For example, when you go out jalan-jalan somewhere like The Mall (kesian mall jua kana bawa-bawa) pakai baju yang menutup aurat as in like you menutup aurat seperti didalam solat, then when it is praying time, you go to the surau and incase there's no "rental telkung" provided, what are you going to do? and again look back....exmine your clothes, kalau you feel clothes yang we wear atu sudah mencukupi syarat untuk solat, then you can perform your solat. youuu seeeee.....it is easy! satu kebaikan mengapa Allah memerintahkan kita untuk memakai pakaian yang menutup aurat, yang SEBETULNYA!


so obviously dan terang lagi nyata, didalam AL-Quran sudah menyatakannya. nak bantah? fikirkanlah saudari seugama ku :)

Apa yang Allah sudah tetapkan itulah yang terbaik untuk hambanya, Allah tidak pernah menzalimi hambaNYA. apa yang diperintahkan oleh Allah itu akan mendapat ganjaran yang baik. bukankah kita selalu mahu yang terbaik? for instant, bila nak exam kita selalu doa kepada Allah nak dipermudahkan menjawab soalan peperiksaan, bila nak hampir keluar result, berdoa lagi nak keputusan yang baik, bila sakit aje berdoa nak sembuh, all you want it the best for you. TETAPI wahai saudari ku, pernahkah saudari terfikir "why would Allah grant your wish if you disobey HIM??". Pernah tak ada rasa malu, selalu saja minta kepada Allah nak tunaikan hajat kita permintaan kita doa kita BUT adakah kita selalu kerjakan apa yang diperintahkan oleh Allah dan meninggalkan larangan-NYA?

ATU YANG MAU DIFIKIRKAN TU! :) if i mean i would say "lu fikirlah sendiri!" BUT NO NO NO, i as a Muslimah as long as i alive inshaAllah, sebagai hamba-NYA tugas kita adalah ingat-mengingati sesama Islam. and it's up to you to take it or to leave it.

okay readers, it is time for me to hit the sack, i have class tomorrow morning. I'll meet you again soonish, InshaAllah if i have the right time to blog and more to share and more to come, InshaAllah.

any curiousity, do not hesitate to hit me on the chat box :)

last but not least "Incase you forget, i am here to remind", Jaga diri, hati & Iman.
