new year snow

my 1st snow at notts this year (2010)..heheh...we were studying n suddenly snow falls..we took some time off n play with snow....

someone told me that insyaallah prayer will be likely granted when the rain falls....hopefully snow will double the possibility :)

Islam a thousand years of faith and power

neither a writer nor historian,

prerequisite needed,

for the one to seek knowledge,

as curiosity arose to understand Islam.

Poem never really gained my interest. Partly because it imposed self interpretation and requires imagination.

During the old days, poem is highly regarded. A person who knows how to write poem and recite it is known as someone with knowledge.

My personal view, poem is form of appreciation and expression of feelings. Self interpretation can be hard if the writer express his/her feelings but in secrecy. Therefore, to let alone readers to define it.

Currently, I'm reading a book titled 'Islam a thousand years of faith and power'. The book is wrote by Jonathan Bloom and Sheila Blair who are husband and wife. They are both professor who specialised in Islamic and Asian Art at Boston College.

I am eager to write what I've read but exams are coming!...But I do reckon the book... True to say that the book is not written by muslims but do consider their point of view and their understanding in Islam. They might know more so I believe it is a shame if we know less :)

a smile

a smile costs nothing yet produces a lot,

it enriches he who receives it;

without making he who gives it any poorer,

it only last an instant ,

but the memory it leaves sometimes last forever,

no one is rich enough to be able to do without one;

no one is so poor he does not merit one,

it creates happiness in the home,

it is a tangible sign of friendship,

a smile makes he who is tired rested,

gives new heart to those who are down,

it cannot be bought, nor loaned, nor stolen,

for it is a thing which has value ,

only the moment it is given ,

and if, from time to time, you should meet someone,

who no longer knows how to smile,

be generous-give him yours,

for no one quite needs a smile as much,

as he who cannot give one to others.

in years coming

my mum and dad have been in love for the past 20 years n insyaallah will always be in years ahead...

out of curiosity I asked my mum their love story..hehehe

They met each other while studying at Iowa university, US. Both of my parents are accounting students back then...well my mum didnt tell me the story in details but she told me that my dad asked someone to send a letter to her...the details?lets keep it a secret..hehehe

few years later they got married and gifted 4 rangers

liyana, hilmi. aizat and sarah..

salam maal hijrah to my beloved family and friends...I know its a bit late but better than never i guess....

to mama n abah...keep on being the cutest couple

I saw I wrote

beauty,

to define,

is a journey,

imperfection maybe.

your beauty,

to seek may not,

purity and sincerity,

i hope.

in silence,

i pray.

poem

the solace I seek,

yet seems so far,

ignorance is the spark,

dim the light of iman.

not the perfectionist i seek,

the complementary i after,

so i ask a question,

to gain an answer.

the journey of life,

may end tomorrow,

are we done,

with the list to do?
