The Post Mortem Month

Funny story during sahur, ade lipas bawah meja makan. All girls, kaki terus bersila atas kerusi, the men, konon macho maintain je, but my brother was nervously peeking to see how far the cockroach was from him from time to time. And the men in my family semua macam anak raja, maka aku la jadi hero (as per usual) dan swat the poor cockroach splat with a BonusLink pamphlet. Not your day roachy, not your day.

My mom dragged me to kuliyah subuh. #4 and #5 were in the bathrooms executing the stay-in-bathroom-faking-tummy-ache-till-she-leaves tactic, #2 and #3 brilliantly laid low, faaar from the parental figures, leaving me out like a decoy, defenseless against Mom's coaxing.

"But I wanna sleeeeeep~! I slept 1am till 4am je tadi, itu pun tak comfy."

"Takpe, sleep there, get pahala jugak."

Running out of excuses. Fine, bila lagi. Alang-alang. Didn't get to sleep though, the lights were so damn bright(cam tau-tau je ape aku nak buat), and all the wall space were already taken. So here's what I gather this morning.

Start your day with good intentions. The body follows what the mind wants to do.

Al-Quran has the answer to everything. There are 8 types of contents in The Holy Book.

1. Dos
2. Don'ts
3. Good news (Promise of reward)
4. Bad news (Promise of punishment)
5. Anecdotes (Iktibar from those who lived before us)
6. Stories of prophets' lives
7. Stories of gifts and blessings
8. Stories of how great and kind Allah is towards us

In order to be a great anything (Muslim, businessman, contractor, mechanic, politician, bla bla bla), refer to Quran.

Why Nabi Muhammad SAW was a great man.

His 4 traits and how they are applicable to implement greatness in ourselves.

• Benar (never ever lie, lead by example)
• Amanah (trustworthy, unbiased, impartial)
  
• Menyampaikan (excellent communication skills, eg:body language-54%, speaking-13%, correct intonation-33%)
• Fathonah (bijaksana- smart, studious, research eg: the studies he made in his business ventures)

Therefore, conclusion of the morning was...

• always strive to perfect our Solat to truly understand and appreciate
  
• always refer to Quran
• follow Nabi Muhammad's (SAW) example (and by this, I'm sure he didn't mean the polygamy bit)

When I was Googling about Tahajjud at 4am earlier, I stumbled upon this post. I'm sorry, I failed my Indonesian so I'm a bit flustered here, there, mostwhere :p. But seemed like an interesting enough read.

Hilarious ustaz today. Tumpang liwat ye. Ngahahahahahaha *inside joke* Only The Sage would understand if he reads this. Sengal punya orang tua :))

And buat pertama kali dalam hidup, jumpa sibut babi badannya warna putih. Wow. Aku jakun gila!

"Oh, ni siput masjid ni, bersih takde dosa, tu dia putih tu," neighbour friend of Mom's said.

Dem. Racist!! Hahahaha~

Have a nice day everyone!
