The wayfarers

Bismillah.. First and foremost, apology for the late update of this blog. I've been busy back then at Malaysia. With only 10 days being in Malaysia, each moment must be spent wisely.

I certainly will miss things like durian porridge with bread, coconut rice (nasi lemak), currypuff, RM 2.50 lunch set (very cheap ma!! Kt sini mane nak dapat?), fried tempe with sambal cili, roti canai and all things that you could think of about Msia! =) Oke2, enough said. Let us start with the sharing, the knowledge that I've collected during my winter trip.

Let me start with this hadith about musafir. Before we start our winter trip, a few copies of this hadith were distributed to everyone . Click on the image for clearer view. It is the 40th hadis of Forty Hadith by Imam Nawawi.


Translation: On the authority of Ibnu Umar radhiallahu 'anhu, who said: The messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) took me by my shoulder and said, "Be in the world as though you were a stranger or a wayfarer". The son of Umar used to say, "At the evening do not expect (to live till) morning, and at the morning do not expect (to live till) evening. Take from your health (a preparation) for your illness and from your life your death"
[related Bukhari]

This hadith told us to not feel settle down and comfortable in this temporary world. Let us filled this journey as a wayfarer with amar maaruf (practice good deeds) and nahi mungkar (forbid bad deeds) that will secure our place in Jannah insyAllah.. =)

Allow me to end this post with a nasyid theme for our winter trip, by Muadz - The wayfarers.

We are the wayfarers
We are the travelers
Wondering through the planet earth
And see how great the Creator is
We are the wayfarers
We are the travelers
Don't you ever think how strange it is
To treat everything as tough as it's ours

"كن في الدنيا كأنك غريب أو عا بر سبيل"
"Live in this world as though you're stranger or you are a wayfarer"

Look at the north look at the south
Look at the east and look at the west
People are suffering people are dying
The killing is never ending

How can we in the name of humanity
Allow our brothers and sisters to suffer
Too much power too much greed
Destroy our souls forever

The air that we breath the water we drink
Give us life or don't we ever think
So take good care of the things we have
Before it's too late too little left to survive

The plants and the forest give strength to the earth
Gives life and protection to the other creatures
The rivers the lake that bring sweet water
Let them flow

So fellow travelers lets do our bit
Let's keep mother earth a good place to live
Peaceful and clean beautiful and safe
A worthwhile inheritance for our kids

He shall be fine
Hands and hands together we stand
Put the differences and arrogance behind
With faith, trust and love we shall be fine

1st winter trip

Bismillah..

8 hours flight from Melbourne to KL with Air Asia on the last 16th had been so restless. I don't know why. It's been about 4 months or so since I left my hometown. Lots of things had happen to me, or I better say changed me to be a better person. I'm so grateful of the valuable knowledge that I have collected from this winter trip.

Alhamdulillah I met lots of GREAT people from my 3 weeks of winter trip to Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. Not to forget the people from Brisbane itself! =) Syukran ya ukhti.



I have so MANY things to share in this blog. Stay tune! =)

A Priceless Sharing at Melbourne

Salam. It's been a week here in Melbourne. It's freaking cold! Haha.. Yeah, it's cold for a Brisbane people but this kind of coldness is still tolerable for Melbourne people. This one week at Melbourne have been great for me. I made lots of new friends that came from different interstate. The new knowledge I got from every activities was invaluable! Alhamdulillah O' Allah for this.

A Welcoming Diner was specially arranged to welcome people from Brisbane, Canberra and Sydney to Melbourne. That diner had been prepared by Sis Muna and her husband. Syukran sis! =)


There's one video presented to us that night and that video really touched me. I want to share this video with others. He's Australian guy.


SubhanAllah!

Most surely in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of the night and the day, and the ships that run in the sea with that which profits men, and the water that Allah sends down from the cloud, then gives life with it to the earth after its death and spreads in it all kinds of animals, and the changing of the winds and the clouds made subservient between the heaven and the earth, there are sings for a people who understand.

Translation in bahasa:

Sesungguhnya pada kejadian langit dan bumi, dan pada pertukaran malam dan siang, dan pada kapal2 yg belayar di laut dengan membawa benda2 yg bermanfaat kpd manusia; demikian juga pada air hujan yg Allah turunkan dari langit lalu Allah hidupkan dengannya tumbuhan2an di bumi sesudah matinya, serta Dia biakkan padanya dari berbagai2 jenis binatang; demikian juga pada peredaran angin dan awan yg tunduk (kpd kuasa Allah) terapung2 di antara langit dan bumi; sesungguhnya (pada semua itu) ada tanda2 (yg membuktikan keesaan Allah dan kekuasaanNya, kebijaksanaanNya, dan keluasan rahmatNya) bagi kaum yg (mahu) menggunakan akal fikiran.

[Al-Baqarah:164]
