A letter,

BismiLLAHirrahmanirrahim.
Assalamualaikum warahmatuLLAHi wabarakatuh.

 Something, not by me, to ponder upon:


"As for what follows, I am writing a letter to you in which I do not hold back right guidance and I do not omit counsel. It contains the praise of ALLAH Almighty and the adab of HIS Messenger s.a.w.

So consider that with your intellect, turn your eyes to it, and devote your hearing to it. Understand it with you intellect and apply your understanding. Do not allow your mind to let it slip away.

It contains excellence in this world and the good reward of ALLAH Almighty in the Next.

Remind yourself of the throes of death and its grief, and what will happen to you when it comes, and what you know follows after death: being presented before ALLAH Almighty, and then the Reckoning, and then remaining forever either in the Garden of the Fire. Prepare for it something to make the terrors of those sights and their distress easy for you.

If you were to see the people who incur wrath of ALLAH Almighty and the myriad punishments they are heading to and the severity of the vengeance of ALLAH,

and if you were to hear their moaning in the Fire and their groaning with their livid faces and the length of their grief and their being turned over in their faces in its bottom levels where they cannot hear or see while calling out for utter and final destruction --

and the most terrible thing of all for them is the pain when ALLAH Almighty turns away from them

and their hope is cut off from HIM and HIS answer to them after the long drawn-out sorrow is
'Slink down in it and do not speak.'

If you remind yourself of this, nothing of this world will seem of any importance to you. You will want to be saved from that. You have no security from its terror. Even if you were to offer all that the people of this world have to seek deliverance, that would be little.

If you were to see the people who obey ALLAH and what they are destined to receive by way of honour from ALLAH, their position of nearness to ALLAH Almighty, the freshness of their faces and the light of their colours, their joy in looking at HIM, and having a place with HIM and their rank in HIS sight along with nearness to HIM,

those thing of this world which you seek and which appear immense in your eyes would then seem insignificant.

Be careful not to allow your lower self to beguile you.

Deal with your lower self before it gets better of you and remember the distress it will feel when death alights.

Contend with your soul for ALLAH Almighty while you still have time.

If ALLAH permits, you will be able to bring benefit to yourself and avert the punishment from yourself before ALLAH takes charge of your Reckoning. Once it comes you will not be able to avert from your soul that which it will hate nor bring any benefit to it.

Give ALLAH Almighty a portion of your time by night and day."


ALLAHUa'lam.

Tips Kewangan Houseman - Langkah Pertama.

BismiLLAHirrahmanirrahim. Assalamualaikum w.b.t. I had been planning to write about this for a long time but I am just so lazy XD But last few days I had contacted a friend of mine who is currently in the same position (housewife to a houseman) about financial things and because we were communicating through text, it was hard for me to explain the details of every step. I could only gave her outline but it really made me uncomfortable not having the chance to explain the details. So here we go~ First of all I would like to introduce myself and warning - this post is in two languages (English and Malay). I am currently a housewife and self-employed financial planner to my husband who just finished his housemanship, alhamduLILLAH. So I have a clear idea and two whole years of experience in managing a houseman salary. The tips that I share most suitable to singles/couples without kids. Next, let us move on to the pay check. How much will you earn as a houseman? Seca...

Majmu' Syarif.

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. Update 16/5/2013: http://umairahazwani.blogspot.com/2013/05/wirid-yang-dinanti.html Ingin ku katakan, apa yang bakal ku sebutkan hanya pendapat semata-mata. Dan Allah Maha Mengetahui segala sesuatu. Beberapa hari yang lepas, terlihatlah sebuah buku bertajuk, Majmu' Syarif. Pertama kali ku lihat dan tidak pernah ku ketahui sebelum ini. Jadi, diri memutuskan untuk melihat dan mempelajari apa yang di dalamnya. Buku yang ku baca itu terjemahan Melayu. Sedangkan kitab yang asal, tiada nama penulisnya. Dibahagikan kepada 30 bab, dimulakan dengan Fadhilat Surah Pilihan dan disusuli dengan pelbagai doa. Pada 10 bab pertama yang menerangkan fadhilat surah-surah, tidak merasakan apa-apa yang pelik di situ lalu diteruskan pembacaan dan sekali gus cubaan menghafal isi-isinya. Sehinggalah kepada bab yang menerangkan fadhilat doa. Kerana terdapat 20 bab yang selebihnya dipenuhi dengan doa, hanya 5 bab pertama saja yang dibaca. Kerana pernah ku baca,...

Tips Kewangan Houseman - Langkah Kedua.

BismiLLAHirrahmanirrahim. Assalamualaikum w.b.t. Part two here we go~ Balance from previous post: RM4550. Some people call it commitment, some call it expenses, I call it responsibility. The second step in managing finance is:  1. Responsibility to yourself. You have to put aside a portion of your income for self suste nance.  1. A roof over your head = rental/own house/room . 2. Bills = electric, water, sewer. My husband rented a room when he started his housemanship, the rent was RM300 . The house was occupied by other renters but I wanted him to pay the bills first; then collect the amount needed from each renter. When you know your bills, you know if something went wrong so you can adjust your usage. Rarely the water and sewer bills fluctuates but electric bills depends on weather, electrical appliances and multiple factors. Average total bills for a month: RM140 Balance: RM4550-RM300-RM140 = RM4110. 2. Responsibility to institutions. For this...
