Alhamdulillah It's Friday ~ 1st Zulhijjah 1432H

 Alhamdulillah, It's Friday and we are still breathing right now, alive and kicking.. We get to meet again with the leader of all days, Friday.. It's truly a blessing, Ya Rabb, Alhamdulillah.. yes, Alhamdulillah, why not, peeps..

We always tend to forget that death can come to us, anytime, anyday, anywhere, young or old , poor or rich, ready or not we are, everything is on Allah's will.. waking up on every morning is indeed a blessing by the Almighthy..what if it's no longer a privilege for us to enjoy.. All of our matters and businesses in this world will end immediately... Yes, on Allah's will, living is a privilege given to us on undefined lease term.. no one knows when it will end, everything is on Allah's will.. hence, Alhamdulillah it is, peeps..

I guess everyone loves Friday.. For Muslim, it's because Friday is the Leader of all days.. Friday is a sacred day, we are blessed with the opportunity to perform Friday prayers, especially for the Muslimin..   

"Then when the (Jumu`ah) Salat is ended, you may disperse through the land, and seek the Bounty of Allah (by working), and remember Allah much: that you may be successful.'' (62:10) 

Perhaps, allow me to share some of the gist from my reading on Friday's benefits:

• Nabi Adam Alaihis Salam was created by Allah on Friday 
• Nabi Adam Alaihis Salam was sent to earth on Friday
• Friday is the leader of all days or known as "Saidul Aiyam", the best of all days
• There is a blessed hour on Friday during which a person is granted anything lawful and good by Allah that he prays for, as such that Duas are answered and accepted
• The Day of Qiyamah or Resurrection will be on a Friday 
• The benefit of fingernail cutting on Friday. For any Muslims who cut their fingernails on Friday will be protected against illness and be granted with safety.

Anyways, as Muslims, we should be happier because we are meeting with the Friday that falls on 1st Zulhijjah.. In Islamic Calendar, Zulhijjah is the last month of Hijri. Zulhijjah means "Hajj" literally. It is the most awaited month by all Muslims as the great annual worship of Hajj is performed by the pilgrims at the Holy lands. And as for the rest of us, we are blessed with Eid'ul-Adha.. 

The first 10 days of Zulhijjah is the most imperial and glorious days in Islamic Calendar. The Holy Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, has said, "One fast during these days is equal to the fasting of one complete year, and the worship of one night during this period is equal to the worship in the "Lailatul-Qadr". Allahuaklam. This chance comes only once a year, every Muslim may want to grab this wonderful opportunity to perform as much Ibadah as much as we can. InsyaAllah we will be blessed.

Another blessings that Allah grant us in the month of Zulhijjah is the Youmul 'Arafah or known as the Day of Arafah. This is the day where all Hajj Pilgrims gather and assemble at Arafah, the plain land ,positioned six miles away from Makkah Al-Mukarramah, to perform the most essential task in their Hajj, named "Wuquf of Arafah".. Everyone is placed under the tents, wearing all white, looking similar and no one is superior, it may reminds us of Mahsyar.. Summon and dua' will be recited  here.. the messages will go straight to heart, oh my, it gives overwhelming feelings.. Speaking of it, reminds me of the sweet moments of my Pilgrimage.. it makes the heart grows fonder.. Allahu Akbar..  

Anyways, for all of us here, who are not in the pilgrimage journey, we may also get to seek the benefit of the Youmul 'Arafah.. it is desirable for us to fast on this day. The fast of 'Youmul 'Arafah' has been emphasized by the Holy Prophet, SAW, as a mustahabb (desirable) act. According to a hadith, the fast of this day becomes a cause, hopefully so, of forgiveness for sins committed in one year. InsyaAllah. There are more to tell about Zulhijjah. I gues it deserves another entry..

Well, my empty soul always express the excitement of meeting Friday by saying TGIF or Thank God It's Friday, it translates my excitement of meeting the weekends.. I guess, from now onwards, i wanna cease that expression from my life.. i would want to express Alhamdulillah It's Friday for the happiness of meeting the sacred Friday.. i wanna appreciate Friday more, instead of the weekends.. I reckon this can be my little initiative to make me a faithfull Muslim.. remind me peeps if i forget this.. correct me if im wrong..

So peeps, let's make our Fridays meaning and important starting from today, insyaAllah.

Alhamdulillah It's Friday.. :)

I'M BACK!

Heyya, peeps..


Perhaps "It has been a while" just dont seem enough to justify the length of my long hiatus.. this abode has been left unmanned for almost a year.. so where have i been? well, i was around.. it's just that i've lost the knack and passion to write and ramble about anything, so i thought.. and i guess time may also be one of the factors.. my routine had undergone several series of alterations throughout the year..

Writing requires the knack and passion, be it just for scribbling a simple note.. any writers would want their writings to be catchy and interesting, either formal or casually.. and i thought i've lost it, not until recently i get reacquainted with writing again.. During my long hiatus, all the writings i've been doing were merely for my assignments, term papers, thesis proposal and whatnot.. all these have gotten me really occupied, with the embedded series of migraine episodes for my so called "benefit".. writing for pleasure wasnt seem as fun anymore.. i guess that explains the long abandonment of my humble abode..

Somehow along the way, the long hiatus has given me the urge to start blogging again, expressing my thoughts, sharing my feelings in this cyberspace.. i found new passion to write for pleasure again even just to jot down on the most foolish note for an entry.. no one has to know me to read my notes or access the junks in my humble abode.. i am free to express my thought as long as i dont write on any issue that can get me into troubles.. For all i know, Google can bring anyone here and i can remain anonymous to anybody in this cyberspace.. During my hiatus, i've seen quite an extensive number of visitors come and go, leaving footprints in my Live Traffic Seed.. that tells me that wouldnt it be great if i start scribbling my words again..

So peeps, here goes, i wish to continue the lifeline of my humble abode.. let me rejuvenate this place to let everyone feels comfortable during their visits here.. Till then, see ya!

2011

Oops.. i hope it's not too late for me to wish a Happy New Year here.. come on, im only 3 days late!! Ngee~

anyways, i've been caught up with lotsa things during the last leg of 2011.. it was kinda a busy week despite the long holidays.. and i've been too busy putting on weight as well.. u see, throughout the week, i cook lunches, i made afternoon meals and not to mention indulged 'em like nobody's business.. Ngee~ i can feel the additional expanded spaces on my cheeks.. haha..

hurms, so many things await for 2011.. my class has resumed last Saturday.. im gonna have busy weekends again.. and there are major reshuffling at my workplace too, looks like my honeymoon is over now.. tonnes of works are waiting and the bosses are waiting at the other end, yelling, "Let's Get Cracking"..

Whatever it is, im hoping my life will turn out alright for 2011.. i hope will not chicken out when it's time to take chances and all.. like i've mentioned on 1st Muharram, i dont have any specific resolution for these two new years.. im just letting the nature take its course.. so everyone, all the best for 2011..
