Our Scratch

Thank God

YOU give me chance to meet

Someone in this hopeful place

At glance I have a lot of share

Leads to the beautiful pond full of care

Together rise up joy and dare

Fill the days with meaningful laugh and smile

            I find the shining eyes seem to show

            Long story of great heart hiding sorrows

            It is hard when they come and grow

            Now trying and praying to let them go

Your strength seems somehow

Will bring to the bright days of tomorrow

May God direct and strengthen your heart now

For every single step to go

                                                no other

There’s no other man

That can touch my heart

But you

Then …

No matter and whoever you are

I will always love you

Unconditionally

Cause …

You are the one who’s raised me up

From the sorrow that long I’ve had

                   Till …

I can see the light

From the tunnel of the darkness

The light that will bring us

To the happiness

too far away

Am I going too far away?

Back to your track, dearest one!

Face the challenge alone,

As usual…

                   Never trust others to help you

Or else…

They will humiliate you

Only trust ALLAH

In every single step you make

In every single breath you take

                   Then…

Let’s pray, pray and pray

You can do the best for your life

Only with the guidance of ALLAH

June the 17^th!

It’s been years since we first met

by then we’ve  both  been…

getting closer n closer

Our smiles are captured in every wonderful moment

Our prays are sparkled in very quite n still nights  

Our names are engraved in our deepest n purest heart

All these miracles

Have always been inspiring us

in facing our hardest n most painful times

Have always been leading us to  find ways n solutions

Our life has totally changed since then

Greatest thanks to ALLAH

who has granted these marvelous blessings for us

Happy anniversary for  both of us!

Ihfadh Lisaanak

 Lisan in Arabic, tounge in English or lidah in Bahasa has a main role in our lives especially in communication. It could sometime endanger and save us as well.

Actually, the dangerous of it has been cleared. A wise sayings has already mentioned “A tongue is as sharp as a sword” and in Bahasa we have “Mulutmu Harimaumu” (Your mouth is your tiger). Both reflect how dangerous our lives would be if we do not manage this tactfully.

We also have to be careful with this, as human communication is really depended on it. We cannot create an effective communication, if we do not successfully handle it. Besides, an effective communication could maintain relationships as networking or sillaturahim that we should promote, because more than 90 percent of the Al Qur’an relates the importance of human relationships hablum minan naas.

We will be really appreciated if we do the charity, giving parts of our belongings to the others. But if it is followed with ada means we give it with always mention and mention all the time that can insult the one that we give, our endeavors would be fruitless and could endanger the essence of sillaturahim among us.

Through this part of body we would also perform ghibah and even the worstfitnah. Ghibah means we talk about something shameful that others do, behave, or act and spread it everywhere, and fitnah means we accused someone doing something shameful and embarrassing that the misery cannot be handled and haunted the rest of their lives, and for them it is better if they end their lives instead of they should face these shameful circumstances. Both then of course really endanger the silaturrahim and really against the principles of Ukhuwah Islamiyah that essencially promotes brotherhood and friendship.

Knowing its importance, ukhuwah is represented as (1) one body, so if, for example, our hand is sick, the whole body will also feel uncomfortable, and will cares to this and try to cure and heal the sickness, or as (2) one strong building bunyan, every part of the building takes part together with their own roles to make the building strong. Then, how could we hurt others, if it then means we hurt ourselves?

We should be responsible for anything we have and should give its benefits as many as possible for others, including this part of body. Then we should tell the truth regardless the conditions we face, Qulil Haq wa lau kana murran tell the truth even it is bitter. If we tell a lie, we will make someone unhappy if oneday he knows the truth. We can tell a lie maybe in this case as what we know as white lie, that is a lie told to create happiness in others and strengthen the relationships, eg. between husband and wife, as a token of appreciation, love and care; or for tabayyun asking for clarification, eg. when one of qishah our great prophet Muhammad, PBUH asked by some people in a rush and wanted to kill a man , whether he saw someone passed him, and he said no, but actually he saw him, then he wanted to do the tabayyun then he protected the man. But, after everything is clear then he accordingly punished or let the man free.

Our lisan, qalb heart, and amal endeavors should be confirmed among another to reflect certain behavior. Someone who are different in those three, eg for half yes and for the rest no, could be called as hypocrisy, and this is the worst endeavor of all and the place for people who do this is the deepest part of the hell asfala saafiliin. Three major characteristics of the hypocrisy: neglecting their duties, telling lies, and breaking rules and promises.

Hope ALLAH protect us all from such behaviors. Amien
