..ILMIAH JUMAAT : Memutuskan Silaturahim, Satu Dosa Besar..

Memutuskan Silaturahim, Satu Dosa Besar (click here for source)
November 18th, 2010 Posted in Akidah Akhlak
- Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda yang maksudnya: “Sesiapa yang ingin diluaskan rezekinya, dipanjangkan umurnya, maka hendaklah ia memanjangkan silaturrahim”
- Riwayat al-bukhari Huraian: Silaturahim bermaksud menyambungkan tali persaudaraan atau kasih sayang, mengeratkan kembali rasa kecintaan serta menjaga keutuhan persaudaraan yang telah terbina terhadap saudara, kerabat, teman dan sebagainya.
- Membina dan mengeratkan silaturahim adalah merupakan satu tugas dan tuntutan yang wajib di sisi Islam di mana Rasulullah s.a.w amat membenci golongan yang suka memutuskan hubungan persaudaraan sesama manusia sebagaimana sabda baginda yang maksudnya:” Tidak halal bagi seorang muslim menjauhi (memutuskan) hubungan dengan saudaranya melebihi tiga hari.”
- Mewujudkan silaturrahim bukan sekadar membawa maksud menyambung kembali ikatan persaudaraan yang telah retak atau memulihkan semula ketegangan dalam perhubungan malah ia membawa erti yang lebih luas lagi iaitu membina kemesraan dan keakraban dengan sesiapa sahaja menerusi sifat saling membantu, bertolak ansur dan sebagainya.
- Biasanya punca permasalahan dan gejala keretakan persaudaraan didahului dengan pertengkaran dan saling menjauhkan diri. Maka adalah menjadi kewajipan bagi seorang muslim yang lain mengajak saudaranya yang bertelagah itu ke jalan perdamaian sama ada dengan cara mendatangi, menyapa atau memberi salam serta diikuti dengan ucapan meminta maaf.
- Seseorang yang sedang berada dalam suasana tegang (perselisihan faham) hendaklah membanyakkan sabar dan bersikap terbuka serta mengalah untuk meminta maaf atau memaafkan orang lain. Jangan bersikap sombong dan angkuh serta menganggap diri sentiasa benar atau betul kerana inilah punca terjadinya keretakan hubungan yang berterusan. Sesungguhnya dosa sesama insan hanya boleh dimaafkan oleh manusia itu sendiri dan bukanlah boleh diampunkan oleh Allah S.W.T.

..Birthday Celebration : Celebrate Birthday Syafi @ Port Dickson..
18th February 2012 was Muhammad Adam Syafi’s 2nd birthday. Sudah besar rupanya anak bujang I ni. It also marks my two years breastfeeding him and so, it’s time to wean off now. Yippee! *happy mak, tau!*
Last year, we celebrated his 1st birthday with family and close friends makan-makan at my house and so this year, we want to make it more “Family Time”.
Hence, we decided to celebrate @ Grand Lexis, Port Dickson. We came here when Syafi was 2 months old and back then, it was called The Legend International Water Homes. You can read from here, here and here. Now, we are back here, when Syafi’s 2 years old. We love it here because of the swimming pool inside the room which makes it much easier on the ‘babysitting department’. Hahaha.. and also, nice environment for Mama and Babah too!! Kekekeke.. *sempat jugak :p*
Birthday boy had fun exploring the room, the hotel lobby, the hotel café, the hotel surroundings and what not, except forrrrrrrrr… the built in swimming pool in the room. Gah~ of all the things, the thing that he doesn’t like was the main reason we came all the way to Grand Lexis, Port Dickson.
On our first day in Grand Lexis, Kakak and Dedek yang excited sangat nak mandi pool. I pun teruja sama, siap bawak bikini swimming suit gitu. Hahaha… *poyos* . Alasan? Bila lagi nak menyeksi kan? Kat luar malu aiii… peha, punggung, besar belaka :p.
Anyways, I tak belikan Syafi spender mandi lagi so I pakaikan shorts jer lah. Tapi, baru celup sikit, dia dah tak tahan sejuk. Badan dok gigil-gigil jer. Syafi just duduk jer kat tepi kolam tuh dengan muka tak seronok. Sian lak aku tengok anak aku tu, so I pun sacrifice lah keinginan untuk mandi-manda. I bawak si Syafi masuk bilik balik.
So, day two bila Kakak and Dedek nak berenang-renang, I lah pulak temankan dorang since I tak puas rendam semalam kan? Syafi and hubby tidur time tuh.
Sekali, Syafi bangun and saw us playing in the pool. His face didn’t show any excitement. He just looked at me, Kakak and Dedek quietly.
Babah pun berbual lah dengan Syafi.
When Babah told me this story, I was like amazed with his answers and a bit sad because I had missed his conversation. However, my hubby asked him again and this time, I was around and guess what, Syafi answered the same thing with exactly the same reaction and intonation. But, lepas jer habis cakap-cakap tu, terus jer dia ligat and memang tak Nampak sakit langsung pun. Gosh! My anak is so dramatic lah :p.
All in all, the holiday was just nice for our little havoc family. Kalau duduk lelama, mak, bapak leh pengsan sebab sorang asyik nak balik jer or asyik tanya nak makan apa everytime, which is Kakak. Dedek lak dia tak pedulik apa pun, janji dial eh tengok Upin & Ipin on the iPad. Syafi laks, memang tak leh dok diam. Kejap main bola. Kejap nak jalan lari sana-sini. Hehehe.. but that is the best thing, even though penat mulut Mak ni membebel and menjerit kan tapiiii Alhamdulillah, seronok rasa bila dapat bersama-sama suami and anak-anak. *I’ll surely miss them when I leave them again for US soon huhuhu*.
Tapi, maaflah trip kali ni tak bergambar mana. I nak pegang camera pun tak leh, apalagi nak snap pictures kan? My hubby pun sibuk gak. So, silalah tengok gambar apa yang ada jer.

Babah pun berbual lah dengan Syafi.
Babah : Syafi tak nak mandi ker?
Syafi : Tak nak.
Babah : Kenapa Syafi tak nak mandi?
Syafi dengan muka yang agak lemah pun menjawab, “Syafi sakit.” *which sebenarnya dia tak sakit pun, ok? :p*
Babah : Syafi demam?
Syafi : Ha’ah. Syafi demam.
Babah : Syafi sakit perut?
Syafi sambil pegang perut and buat muka sedih cakap, “Syafi sakit perut”.

..Syafi-the-Toddler Turns 24 Months Old..
 |
| Captured from the ticker on the right hand side of my blog |
It’s my boy’s birthday, today! That marks 2 years of me breastfeeding my boy, too! Alhamdulillah.
Selamat Ulangtahun Yang Ke-2, Sayang Mama, Adam Syafi. Baked carrot cake last night as requested by Babah {Justification : I didn’t bake a cake for him on his birthday because I was away in Austin} and belum sempat jam 12 malam, one third of the cake dah di makan. Tak perlah, at least birthday boy yang rasmikan. Hehe.
We didn’t plan to have a BIG celebration this year. Instead, we are just celebrating it with a short trip to PD tomorrow.
I will update you guys on the short trip aka Syafi’s birthday treat once I come back and so, before that let me just note down Syafi’s 24 months old milestones.
Mastered Skills
- Names at least six body parts *Yes, 1. Kaki, 2. Tangan, 3. Hidung, 4. Mata, 5. Perut and 6. Rambut*
- Half of speech is understandable *Yes, I would agree because his speech is clear most of the time.*
- Makes two- to three-word sentences *Yes, just like what I had written earlier for 23 months : Click here to read more.*
- Form three or four word sentences *Yes, like ‘Mama nak susu’ or ‘Mama Syafi kentut’ or ‘Babah nak Upin Ipin’ or ‘Kakak nak eya eya o’ - means he either nak main iPad or iPhone (started with dalam my iPhone ada lagu Old McDonald. Hence, eya eya o.) or he will say, ‘Syafi nak mandi’ or ‘Adam Syafi… Adam Syafi - which actually means he wants to see pictures of him on the TV.. hahahaha… or ‘Nak ice cream’ or ‘Mama tengok kapal terbang’ and so on. Latest sentence was, "Mama mana kereta cantik?"*
- Put on and take off clothing alone *Yes, especially when wearing Kakak’s or Dedek’s t-shirts and shorts as it is much bigger than his. Belasah lah*
- Talks about self *Does him saying, “Syafi takut” talks about himself? OR “Syafi nak kereta cantik” OR “Syafi gatal” OR “Syafi tak nak, pedas” and so on.*
- Arranges things in categories *Does him putting the toys back to where it belongs means arranging things? Oh wait! Yes, I know. He loves arranging his lorrys. He arrange it nicely, like queueing up or something.*
- Can walk down stairs *Yes and unassisted too!*
- Start asking “why” to everything *Hmm.. yang ni cam belum jer lagi kot. Tak pernah dengar lagi dia tanya, kenapa?*
- Begins to understand abstract concepts (e.g., sooner and later) *Yes, and his favourite word is, “Kejap”. Pengsan mak tau, each time I want to use my iPhone he will say, “Kejap, Kejap”. Haha. Aku yang stress, ok?*
- Becomes attuned to gender differences *I think so, yes! Need to do a little bit more test.*
- Learns to jump *Yes, I did see him jumping but not too often yet.*
- Like to sing *Definitely. He probably inherits that from the mommy. Muahahaha.*
AND FINALLY, My Adam Syafi in action :).

..Quick and Easy Recipe : Japanese Cotton Cheese Cake..
Ok, patutnya I nak cerita pasal ni semalam but memandangkan tetiba pulak ada KES CREDIT CARD SCAM tu, terus jadik terbawak entry ni ke hari ni. Bagus gak kan, so tak dek lah back to back asyik entry pasal kek jer memanjang. Kekeke.
Tu lah kan, kalau Vitamin R aka Rajin dating serbu, memang hari-hari asyik ke dapur and bake cake jer lah jawabnya. Kekekeke. So, janganlah pulak korang bosan singgah sini yer sebab lepas satu kek, lagi satu kek :p.
Biasalah, selagi cream cheese yang kat dalam peti ais tu tak habis. Selagi itulah, asyik ada jer entry on CREAM CHEESE.
Anyways, malam semalam gatal nak cuba buat the famous “Japanese Cotton Cheese Cake” jugakkkk! Hehehe…
Balik kerja, I terus singgah kedai beli Cream of Tar Tar sebab I am very sure yang I don’t have that at home. I agak yang lain mesti adalah.
Rupa-rupanya, tengah buat tu, tengok-tengok kat dalam cupboard tak dek Tepung Jagung yang ada is Tepung Custard. Arghhh… mula rasa cam nak simpan balik jer semua bahan but because I dah keluar kan the butter and cream cheese and dah lembut dah pun, so if masukkan balik cam tak elok jer karang. Aku pun, beranikan diri tanya my hubby.. hehehe.. ajak dia gi kedai beli Tepung Jagung dan-dan tu jugak. Alhamdulillah, hubby sungguh sporting. Dia ikutkan jer lah kehendak isteri kesayangan. Ehem…
So, oleh kerana ada husband yang amat supportive beginilah dengan itu terhasil lah kek saya yang bertajuk “Japanese Cotton Cheese Cake” yer tuan-tuan dan puan-puan sekalian.
Resipi yang saya ambik dari sini. Thank you very much for sharing and di bawah saya sertakan jugak resipi ini untuk semua pembaca!
I am not a fan of plain cheese cake coz in real fact, I do not like CHEESE and so, to me the taste is a bit too cheesy?
If I were to do it all over again, I probably would try the original recipe with the 100g of sugar. Maybe with the additional sugar, it can take away a bit of the cheesy feeling or instead of using fresh milk, I will probably use sweetener.
The texture is very soft, as the name, it is very cotton-y. It has a very nice smell especially after removing it from the oven.
Comments from the testers : *macam UAT lak yer, siap ada User Acceptance Test :p and she accepted. Hahaha Ain ler nih.*
First Tester - Aida : Sedap jer. Tak yah nak ubah apa-apa.
Second Tester - Ayu : Suka jer.
Third Tester - Amira : Tak suka. Boleh? *Boleh jer sebab sejujurnya it’s not my kind of cake too*
Fourth Tester - Ain : Texture dah jadik dah but rasa cam too ‘eggy’?
Thank you very much for all your comments. This will definitely help me to improvised and make it lagi sedap.
However, for those cheese lovers, maybe you guys will LOVE THIS TO BITS.
Have a nice weekend, yah!

..ILMIAH JUMAAT : Death in Sujood On Her Wedding Night..
Excerpt from Friend’s Facebook Wall, from this link:
True story told by Shaykh “Abdul Mohsen al Ahmad”, it happened in Abha (the capital of Asir province in Saudi Arabia)
“After performing Salat Al Maghrib, she put her make-up, wore her beautiful white dress preparing herself for her wedding party, Then she heard the Adhan of ‘Ishaa and she realized that she broke her Wudu she told her mother : “mother, I have to go to make wudu and pray ‘Ishaa”.
Her mother was shocked : “Are you crazy?!! Guests are waiting for you, to see you! what about your make -up? It will be all washed away by water!!” then she added: "I am your mother and I order you not to perform salah now! wallahi if you make wudu now, I will be angry at you”
Her daughter replied :”wallahi I won’t go out from here till I perform my salah! Mother you must know that “There is no obedience to any creature in disobedience to the Creator.”!!
Her mother said:”what would our guests say about you when you’ll show up in your wedding party without make-up?! You won’t be beautiful in their eyes! and They will make fun of you!”
The daughter asked with a smile :”Are you worried because I won’t be beautiful in the eyes of creations? What about my Creator?! I am worried because, if I miss my salah, I won’t be beautiful in His eyes”. She started to make wudu, and all her make-up was washed away, but she didn’t care.
Then she began her salah and at the moment she bowed down to make sujud, she didn’t realize that it will be her last one!
Yes! She died while in sujud! What a great ending for a Muslimah who insisted on obeying her Lord! Many people who heard her story were so touched!!
She put Him and His obedience first in her priorities, so He granted her the best ending that any Muslim would have!
She wanted to be closer to Him, so He took her soul in the place where Muslim are the closest to Him! Subhana Allah!
She didn’t care if she would be beautiful in the eyes of creatures so she was beautiful in the eyes of Her Creator!
No one knows when their hour will come? Or when will they meet angels of death? So are you ready for that moment?
O non hijab sister! What do you choose : Pleasing yourself by not wearing Hijab or pleasing your Lord by wearing hijab?
And what about you, sister who are “in relationship” or “open relationship”, are you ready to meet your Lord today? Tomorrow?! What do you choose pleasures of this Dunya or pleasures of akhirah?!
May Allah guide us all to what pleases Him and grant everyone who is reading these lines good ending, Ameen.

O Muslim sister, imagine if you are in her place! What will you do? What will you choose : pleasing creations or your Creator?
O dear sister! Do you guarantee that you will live for the next minutes? Hours? Months?!!
No one knows when their hour will come? Or when will they meet angels of death? So are you ready for that moment?

..BASED ON TRUE STORY : BEWARE!!! I NEARLY GOT CONNED BY A CREDIT CARD SCAM (CERITA PANASSSS!!)..
Note : Apologize for the long entry but couldn’t help it. Just want to write it out to express my frustration, anger and what not. Thanks for reading.
Ok, I don’t know how to start but it just happened to me, today like 6 hours ago. I received a call from a Chinese Man, the number in which is shown on my cell phone was 03-2167 7722.
He first asked whether I am Siti Zahir… Ain, Aini binti Mohd Toher, Toha. Punyelah susah he wants to say my name. Adalah dalam 3 to 4 times, he keeps on trying to make it right which comes to a point yang I dah malas nak layan.
I bila dah camtu, mulalah jadik a bit garang. He still insists to say my name out loud and he said he is calling from MBF Credit Card Center.
The conversation was something like this:
Mr Tan : Awak Siti Zahir… , Siti Zahir… Siti Zahir…. An Binti Mohd Toha
*dia belum abis cakap, aku memanjang dok potong*
Me : Yes. Why?
Mr. Tan : XXXXXX-XX-XXXX (sebut my IC No)
Me : Yes and Can you please speak English? I don’t understand *waktu ni aku dah tak tahan sangat, seriously cakap entah apa-apa and then, balik-balik nak sebut nama aku yang dok asyik tak betul jer sampai ke sudah*
Mr. Tan : TAK BOLEH. *Aku dah pelik dah sebab dia langsung tak boleh cakap omputih and you call dari Bank. Bukan selalunya customer service cam pandai jer cakap dwi bahasa gitu?*
Mr. Tan : Kita mula lagi sekali. Saya dari MBF. Pagi tadi awak ada call nak naikkan credit limit.
Me : Huh! Saya tak dek call pun and kad MBF pun saya tak dek.
Mr. Tan : Tapi, dalam record awak ada pakai kat Singapore sebanyak RM9760.
Me : Eh! Itu bukan saya. *waktu tu aku dah panic dah sebab aku tak dek credit card MBF and dah lah tu, orang tu pakai sampai 10k kan? Isk… takkan aku nak kena bayar kot kan?*
Mr. Tan : Kalau betul awak tak dek credit card MBF bermakna ada berlaku penggunaan kad palsu. Awak duduk di … *he starts reading me my address then again, belum sempat dia habis baca aku dah potong jer cakap dia*
Me : Then, apa patut saya buat? *dalam kepala dah pikir macam-macam, bunyi macam panic tapi aku sebenarnya DUMBFOUNDED tak tahu nak buat apa*
Mr. Tan : Tak apa. Nanti you call Bank Negara and buat report.
Aku sebenarnya dari mula, memang rasa semacam jer with the phone call. I don’t know what to do but I just feel like I should take all his information and so…
Me : Saya bercakap dengan siapa ni?
Mr. Tan : Mr. Tan
Me : Apa nombor telefon you?
Mr. Tan : 03-2167 7722. *Apparently, that is the MBF Fax No as per below*.Ok, ini nombor Bank Negara, 03 -2788 4722 ext 1109. Bahagian Pengurusan Kad Palsu.
Me : Ok
Mr. Tan : Nanti you cakap, ada orang pakai kad kredit you kat Singapore on 2/1/2012.
Card details :
MBF MASTER GOLD CREDIT CARD
Credit Limit : 10K
No Kad : 5440 7400 4870 1531
Tarikh apply : 29/11/2011 @ Sibu, Sarawak
Tarikh approve : 23/12/2011
Aku time tu cam dah tak tahu nak kata apa. Lepas jer letak telefon, terduduk aku kejap. Tapi, entahlah rasa malas jer nak buat apa-apa waktu tu. Rasa cam BLANK. I call my hubby and told him about this.
Since I got the call at the office and I feel that I needed some privacy and so, I headed to one of the meeting rooms. Deep inside, my heart is racing but at the same time I am asking myself, what am I feeling now?
A colleague ask for a meeting pulak and so, aku pun oklah. Meeting jer lah dulu. After the meeting ended, I pulak mengadu kat my colleague about ‘the call’ and she was like, huh! And you are so calm?
Hahaha.. actually that is not calm. That is somewhat my reaction after getting that particular phone call. My mind just go blank. When she asked me what I want to do, then it hits me, ok I want to call MBF first then, Bank Negara.
I pun terus call MBF Credit Card Center because I want them to send my so-called credit card statement to my email. As usual, the customer service will ask lah kan for IC No and all. I pun bagitau lah anddddd budak customer service tu cakap, nope, you are not in the database.
Haaaa.. time tu, aku dah semakin suspicious sangat. So, I pun cam nak call Bank Negara Malaysia. Again, entah kenapa aku memang melambat-lambat kan jer the whole process tu. Aku gi singgah kat another colleague yang need my help on something. Lepas tu baru ler I pergi kat Aida and cerita kat dia. That time jugak I look for BNM nya number in the internet. Memang lain from the number told by Mr. Tan.
I ajak Aida buat further investigation. Hehe. Ala-ala Nancy Drew pulak kan. Firstly, I try to call the Bank Negara Malaysia number given by Mr. Tan.
Machine : Selamat Datang ke Bank Negara. Sila tekan nombor sambungan.
I pun tekan lah 1109 and seorang perempuan menjawab and dia sebut, BANK NEGARA. Tapi, aku ni dalam hati dah memang tahu TIPU kan so, I know that I was a bit rude on the phone and sebab cam tak dengar lah pulak, so we hang up.
Then, I call lah Bank Negara punya number yang I got from the internet and ada this one lady yang jawab. Seriously, I can feel that it’s the REAL BANK NEGARA (Real Bank Negara Malaysia No : 1 300 88 5465), if you know what I mean.
Anyways, the first question popped from my mouth was, Nombor 03-2788 4722 ni nombor Bank Negara kat mana-mana ker? She dengan confident cakap, No. Nombor tipu tuh. Terus lah we all start berbual pasal I dapat the phone call and she also added 10k kat Singapore ker? Apparently, the syndicate is using the same way of scheming people. From 2010 till now, about 8 million dah hilang because of this.
Hence, she advised me and Aida to share this experience to everyone because according to her dah banyak kali BNM buat Press Statement but biasalah kita kan, selagi tak kena tu tak tahu. So, she also suruh kita berhati-hati and I cakaplah, memang susah jugak nak berhati-hati because memang senang sangat nak percaya. Even I pun at one point cam panic giler kan?
She also did mention yang kebanyakannya yang kena adalah Maxis and Digi users. It’s like, ada some people yang tidak bertanggungjawab ni jual our information to these BAD GUYS. Haih! Sedih ok, why lah?
Anyways, you guys please, please be careful. Coz honestly when that happens, we didn’t even realize what was happening. Dengan mudah and automatic we trust jer since he/she already has our details. Make sure you guys do not reveal anything at all, ok?
Also, normally people can only do verification if we were to call them like we call Citibank/Maybank or whatever banks and not the other way round tau! So, tolonglah berhati-hati. I dah terkena hari ni and Alhamdulillah nothing happens.
So, beware yah!!!
I dah pun buat report to the police just in case anything like this were to happen again as in the usage of my personal information.
There you go, something for all of us to be AWARE and ALERT of. It can happen to simply anyone, anyone at all.
Note : Gosh! While I was writing this, the kononnya Pengurusan Kad Palsu called me. Mak ai! They really have the guts man, I tell ya!! Anyways, di sebabkan I tengah dalam keadaan agak marah jadik I terus cakap, I’ll call you back later and terus put down the phone. Damnnn!!! I should have said, oh it’s ok.. I have reported this to the REAL BANK NEGARA… kan????
You can also read here for BNM press statement.
Ok, I don’t know how to start but it just happened to me, today like 6 hours ago. I received a call from a Chinese Man, the number in which is shown on my cell phone was 03-2167 7722.
He first asked whether I am Siti Zahir… Ain, Aini binti Mohd Toher, Toha. Punyelah susah he wants to say my name. Adalah dalam 3 to 4 times, he keeps on trying to make it right which comes to a point yang I dah malas nak layan.
I bila dah camtu, mulalah jadik a bit garang. He still insists to say my name out loud and he said he is calling from MBF Credit Card Center.
The conversation was something like this:
Mr Tan : Awak Siti Zahir… , Siti Zahir… Siti Zahir…. An Binti Mohd Toha
*dia belum abis cakap, aku memanjang dok potong*
Me : Yes. Why?
Mr. Tan : XXXXXX-XX-XXXX (sebut my IC No)
Me : Yes and Can you please speak English? I don’t understand *waktu ni aku dah tak tahan sangat, seriously cakap entah apa-apa and then, balik-balik nak sebut nama aku yang dok asyik tak betul jer sampai ke sudah*
Mr. Tan : TAK BOLEH. *Aku dah pelik dah sebab dia langsung tak boleh cakap omputih and you call dari Bank. Bukan selalunya customer service cam pandai jer cakap dwi bahasa gitu?*
Mr. Tan : Kita mula lagi sekali. Saya dari MBF. Pagi tadi awak ada call nak naikkan credit limit.
Me : Huh! Saya tak dek call pun and kad MBF pun saya tak dek.
Mr. Tan : Tapi, dalam record awak ada pakai kat Singapore sebanyak RM9760.
Me : Eh! Itu bukan saya. *waktu tu aku dah panic dah sebab aku tak dek credit card MBF and dah lah tu, orang tu pakai sampai 10k kan? Isk… takkan aku nak kena bayar kot kan?*
Mr. Tan : Kalau betul awak tak dek credit card MBF bermakna ada berlaku penggunaan kad palsu. Awak duduk di … *he starts reading me my address then again, belum sempat dia habis baca aku dah potong jer cakap dia*
Me : Then, apa patut saya buat? *dalam kepala dah pikir macam-macam, bunyi macam panic tapi aku sebenarnya DUMBFOUNDED tak tahu nak buat apa*
Mr. Tan : Tak apa. Nanti you call Bank Negara and buat report.
Aku sebenarnya dari mula, memang rasa semacam jer with the phone call. I don’t know what to do but I just feel like I should take all his information and so…
Me : Saya bercakap dengan siapa ni?
Mr. Tan : Mr. Tan
Me : Apa nombor telefon you?
Mr. Tan : 03-2167 7722. *Apparently, that is the MBF Fax No as per below*.Ok, ini nombor Bank Negara, 03 -2788 4722 ext 1109. Bahagian Pengurusan Kad Palsu.
Me : Ok
Mr. Tan : Nanti you cakap, ada orang pakai kad kredit you kat Singapore on 2/1/2012.
Card details :
MBF MASTER GOLD CREDIT CARD
Credit Limit : 10K
No Kad : 5440 7400 4870 1531
Tarikh apply : 29/11/2011 @ Sibu, Sarawak
Tarikh approve : 23/12/2011
Aku time tu cam dah tak tahu nak kata apa. Lepas jer letak telefon, terduduk aku kejap. Tapi, entahlah rasa malas jer nak buat apa-apa waktu tu. Rasa cam BLANK. I call my hubby and told him about this.
Since I got the call at the office and I feel that I needed some privacy and so, I headed to one of the meeting rooms. Deep inside, my heart is racing but at the same time I am asking myself, what am I feeling now?
A colleague ask for a meeting pulak and so, aku pun oklah. Meeting jer lah dulu. After the meeting ended, I pulak mengadu kat my colleague about ‘the call’ and she was like, huh! And you are so calm?
Hahaha.. actually that is not calm. That is somewhat my reaction after getting that particular phone call. My mind just go blank. When she asked me what I want to do, then it hits me, ok I want to call MBF first then, Bank Negara.
I pun terus call MBF Credit Card Center because I want them to send my so-called credit card statement to my email. As usual, the customer service will ask lah kan for IC No and all. I pun bagitau lah anddddd budak customer service tu cakap, nope, you are not in the database.
Haaaa.. time tu, aku dah semakin suspicious sangat. So, I pun cam nak call Bank Negara Malaysia. Again, entah kenapa aku memang melambat-lambat kan jer the whole process tu. Aku gi singgah kat another colleague yang need my help on something. Lepas tu baru ler I pergi kat Aida and cerita kat dia. That time jugak I look for BNM nya number in the internet. Memang lain from the number told by Mr. Tan.
I ajak Aida buat further investigation. Hehe. Ala-ala Nancy Drew pulak kan. Firstly, I try to call the Bank Negara Malaysia number given by Mr. Tan.

..Quick and Easy Recipe : Cream Cheese Pound Cake..
The other day I bought 2kg of cream cheese and I have only used 500gm for my father’s Red Velvet with Cream Cheese Frosting Birthday Cake. Thus, I still got another 1.5kg cream cheese in my fridge.
The cream cheese does not last long. It has an expiry date of 04.04.2012. I have about 1 and a half month maybe to finish it?
I ran out of idea on what to do with the cream cheese leftovers. I even put it up as my FB status just to get some ideas. I am bored of cheese cakes, cheese tarts and tiramisu. I am looking for something else, something that I have never tried before. Finally, my adik housemate back in Manchester suggested to baked butter-cheese pound cake.
The minute I saw that, it strikes me that it has been so long since I baked a plain pound cake. Therefore, I look for the recipe anddddd….
I got the recipe from here : Credit to Southernfood.
To those who wants to try, check out the recipe below:
Cream Cheese Pound Cake
Ingredients:
• 1 cup butter, room temperature - I actually used more because I didn't have enough shortening :p
• 1/2 cup shortening - Less than 1/2 cup and so, add more of butter as per the above
• 3 cups granulated sugar - I reduced the amount of sugar to 2 and a half cups
• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, room temperature
• 3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted before measuring
• 6 eggs
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
* I also added 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder
Preparation:
In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and shortening. With electric hand-held mixer on medium speed, gradually beat in the sugar. Beat in cream cheese. Add flour, alternating with the eggs, beginning and ending with flour. Stir in vanilla. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan or Bundt cake pan. Bake at 325° for about 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour and 25 minutes, until a wooden pick comes out clean when inserted in the center. Let cool in pan for 10 minutes, then remove to a rack to cool completely.
Alkisah, I kurangkan the gula to 2.5 cup sebab malas nak bukak Gula from a new packet.. hahaha… keji tak? I tambah 1 teaspoon of Baking Powder and since Shortening tak cukup, so I lebihkan the butter. Suka-suka hati jer kan tukar itu ini. Alhamdulillah jadik. Kalau tak, rugi jer tau… mahal wooo cream cheese itewww!!!
Result, memang sangatlah sedap time baru keluar from the oven. Makan panas-panas memang heaven!!!

..Special Kids : The Guilt Inside of Me..
For the past few days, I had a FUNNY/WEIRD feeling inside of me each time sending both Kakak and Dedek to school. As usual, they will ‘salam and cium tangan’ before they run to class. We will wait for them to reach certain point before we leave their sight. So, prior reaching to that certain point, Kakak and Dedek will keep on looking back at us, waving and saying goodbyes and I love yous.
This time, it’s like the way they looked back at me with their happy faces and lovely smiles, somehow it left me in tears. Suddenly, I feel my heart breaks. I still cannot comprehend why I have such feeling. Is it because I am in my menses? I guess, PMS does make me more emotional.
Entahlah, kadang-kadang hati ini merintih sedih mengingatkan Kakak and Dedek. As a mother, of course I want to give THE VERY BEST to them. Tapi, I don’t see that I am doing anything for them. Yes, they may have improved but they are still not independent. They still need people around to help them out in lots of things. Sometimes, I feel ashamed of myself because I see other parents their so engaged with their special kids and it helped these kids a lot. I, on the other hand, didn’t do that part! My engagement is so little that it scares me now, A LOT.
When they were little, we used to make lots of visits to hospital with the therapy, check up and whatnot. Ever since, they both start schooling, I can see that, I ‘lepas tangan’ sedikit. I totally passed my kids to the teachers, hoping that the teachers can help them. I know I was wrong, BIG TIME. I am their mother and I am supposed to be the one who involved more with them improving themselves and so, that is why I decided to take the extra classes.
Day by day attending my part time classes, it makes me feel much, much more embarrassed of myself. But, it’s better that I am feeling shame NOW than NEVER and so, I hope I am not too late in helping them.
I actually have so many ideas in my head but to put it into REALIZATION is another question.
I have always been ONE DETERMINED person but I do not know why I am not in this area. I wonder why?
What puts me down? Is it because I am still in DENIAL? Am I still not accepting the fact that my kids are special? Why am I so laid-back? Am I not worried?
It is something that I really have to figure out myself and nobody can help me answer it. I just wish that I can get the answer soon and I can start my engine on doing something about it.

Am I not a good mother because I feel the way I am feeling now?
Ya Allah Ya Rahman Ya Rahim, when I am confused, guide me. When I am weary, energize me. When I am burned out, infuse me with the light of Your Noor. May the work that I do and the way I do it bring faith, joy, and a smile to all that I come in contact with today, tomorrow and day after. Amin~

..Romance and Intimacy : Nyonya Curry Puff vs Roses..
 |
| Picture Credit to Mr. Google |
Wah! Apa kes lah pulak si MakcikAini ni tetiba nak cerita pasal “Romance and Intimacy”? Dah lah tu, Nyonya Curry Puff vs Roses? Apakah?
Kejadian bermula begini, di suatu malam yang indah, kami telah lalu di depan kedai bunga dan …
Si Isteri : Dah lama Babah tak belikan Mama bunga, kan?
Tidak pastilah samada Si Suami dengar ataupun tidak, tapi perbualan itu terhenti di situ.
Sewaktu mahu pulang, sekali lagi, mereka melintasi kedai bunga itu dan…
Si Isteri : Bila Babah nak beli bunga untuk Mama?
Si Suami : Buat apa?
Si Isteri : Isk..
Again, perbualan itu terhenti di situ sahaja.
Keesokkan harinya, Si Isteri di tempat kerja dan tetiba dapat panggilan dari Si Suami.
Si Suami : Mama nak Karipap ker?
Si Isteri : Kenapa?
Si Suami : Yelah, Babah ada kat area Puchong ni. Babah teringatlah dekat Mama. Mama kan suka karipap sini.Babah tak dapat belikan Mama bunga, jadik Babah nak belikan Mama karipap lah.
Si Isteri : Ok, jangan lupa beli banyak!
Si Suami pun beli karipap dan singgah office Si Isteri untuk hantarkan karipap kegemaran Si Isteri. Si Suami pun terus pulang ke rumah. Si Isteri pun makan dengan gembira bersama teman-teman sekerjanya. Memang sedap sangat karipap tu, ok? Nyonya Curry Puff from Berry’s ;).
Selepas itu, Si Isteri sedang keluar lunch bersama teman-teman yang tolong habiskan Karipap Sedap tu. Telefon berbunyi dan suara yang sungguh di kenali is on the other line. Si Suami telefon dan kali ni…
Si Suami : Mama, ada cerita “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” kat TV.
Si Isteri : Oh yer!
Si Suami : Mama ingat tak cerita “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai” ni?
Si Isteri : Ingattttttt.
Berbual tak seberapa dan panggilan pun tamat.
So, apa yang korang dapat bila baca cerita ini?
Haaa.. ni yang baru nak terang apa itu Romance. Romance atau dengan kata nama lain adalah apabila seseorang itu luahkan rasa CINTA. Wah! Tetiba muka cam merah lak, malu :p. Kekeke.. *over, ok*
Romance is an expression of one’s love and also in showing how deep is the affection or desire to someone. Meanwhile, intimacy is more of physical relationship that a person has towards the other half/partner.
Eh~ membebel pulak aku yer. Sampai lupa, apa tujuan sebenar pulak. Hahaha.
Ok, actually nak cakap benda ni.
We women (maybe not all or maybe it’s even just me), tend to expect lots of things from our other half/partner especially when we have been with the same guy/man for many, many years.
Again, women tend to get influenced from all the romantic movies whereby the girl always gets flowers, chocolates and whatnot and due to that, we would want the same thing to. I am sure there are guys out there whose already behaving that way, meaning sweeping their other half/partner off their feet but probably majorities DON’T?
To those who didn’t get any flowers, chocolates and whatnot, do not despair. Please do not ever think that the MEN love you less. It’s just the way they express and show their love is totally different.
Just like Si Suami dalam cerita di atas. Bukannya dia tidak romantik tetapi dia hanya tidak memberi bunga dan dia menggunakan duit itu untuk perkara yang dia rasakan lebih logik, lebih berguna. Sekurang-kurangnya, karipap lebih mengenyangkan dan sedangkan bunga hanya akan layu in few days kan, itupun setelah put it upside down and also, with panadol as the supplement :p. *those were the days*
Maka, terpulanglah pada individu. Bagaimana kamu mahu menilainya. I mean, you can still sulk and still insist getting flowers and get hurt when you don’t OR you can just be happy and contented dan tentunya bersyukur yang your hubby knows and remembers your favourite food. The thought of it is already SO SWEET and so, what more when it is also shown in his ACTIONS, it’s DOUBLE TRIPLE SWEETNESS!!
What more can you ask for from someone you call, HUSBAND.

..The Nerd in Me : Ponteng Kelas..
I admit I am not a good student back then when I was in college/university and I am not proud of it. I mean, if only I could turn back time I would want to be a better student. I am no different from other teenagers. I have my good days and my bad days too. I used to be a rebellious person which I don’t even know why I was.
That was then. I am no longer the rebellious girl I used to remember myself being. I have grown up over time and I have matured.
Hence, I told myself that when I am ‘going back to school’, I would do my very best. However, things is not always smooth and now, instead of me missing class for FUN, I actually had to miss my class due to work commitments.
Yes, I am at work today. Writing this entry from my desk in the office, lame, I know. Oh well, let’s take it positively. I will get a replacement leave out of this and so, let’s go for a holiday!
Ok, I think I am going out of topic very soon and so let’s go back to me missing my class today. I hate missing my class. I find that I learn a lot from the class. I actually understand and can relate whatever the lecturer teaches me with what’s happening around me and from the lectures as well, it makes me understand why special kids behave the way they do.
In a way, I cannot help myself from feeling guilty of not studying this way before when my kids are still small. Then again, it’s BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, kan?
I have assignment and exam due in April. I have yet to study. Books given, lecture notes provided and I should be good to go.
Again, it’s not much of the theory that I am looking for because most importantly, I would need to understand the entire thing. It’s different when you read books and notes and when a teacher teaches you. A simple sentence like, “Kids with ADHD are active, cannot sit still”, it can be perceived in so many ways but with a teacher explaining that to you, it can be more than just that piece of sentence. You guys get it? Or I am like talking to myself here? Hahaha.. when a teacher explains, it comes with examples which they acquire from their experiences or other people experiences which have been shared with them. Books and notes cannot do that. Books and notes do not reply and answer all the questions that we might have.
Having said that, attending classes is soooo important. Period. Wow! I do know and truly appreciate that now :p.
Whatever it is, here I am, still sitting in the office and missing my class. Hopefully, I won’t miss my class next week. Insyallah!

Whatever it is, here I am, still sitting in the office and missing my class. Hopefully, I won’t miss my class next week. Insyallah!
I WANT TO HAVE PERFECT ATTENDANCE!!!

..Healthy Lifestyle : Calorie Watch Regime..
Remember the entry I wrote on ME BEING FAT? If you miss that, you can click here to read more. Hehe.
Anyways, these few weeks I have been going back and forth on what sort of DIET should I do to LOSE WEIGHT. I have done 7 days diet before, Green Apple and Lemon Juice diet and Morning Banana Diet. So, I wouldn’t want to do all these humdrum diets anymore.
Until one day while talking to Jules (the girl who sits next to me at work who doesn’t update her blog for 6 weeks now :p), she suggested to do ‘Calorie Watch’. Initially, I ‘rejected’ the idea but after browsing the internet for the most suitable DIET PLAN, ‘Calorie Watch’ is somehow the best DEAL. Sorry Jules, I guess I have to take back my word :p. *Malu aiii*
I am not putting HIGH EXPECTATION on myself because I am only looking to reduce about 5kg and so, this time around I just want to cut down food portions. I do not want to torture myself until I have to STOP EATING when I love to eat so much!
Hence, the ‘Calorie watch’ does not limit the choices of food to eat instead it limits the amount of food I should take per meal or per day.
Earlier, I thought it’s going to be a troublesome process as I need to calculate the calories intake. Fret not, if you have iPad or iPhone, there’s a FREE APPS that you can download to help you do the calculation. Easy peasy.
Simply search for “Calorie Count” at the App Store and download it. It’s very easy to use and I am sure you will love it as much as I did ;). *But, don't ask me on the details on this APPS yet, ya! Coz, I am still exploring on how to fully utilized it. Hehe*
Although, all these comes back to yourself, if you are really determined to LOSE WEIGHT, you will somehow discipline yourself to follow a regime no matter what or how hard it is. Plus, if you find it taxing for you when you need to note down all the foods that you eat in your ‘Calorie Count’ apps, again, it goes back to you. If you want it, you will surely do it. As for me, I make it as a game that I played and enjoyed. I challenged myself not to consume more calories than I should be burning. Hehe.
So, hurry up girls. If you want to feel good, start searching for the ONE. The DIET PLAN that suits you. All the best to myself and all :).
p/s: I will be working this weekend, in the office. Positive-Thinking Hat On : Can eat for free as it is claimable. Haha. *Aik.. bukan baru jer cite pasal diet? Dah nak makan besar kah? Kekeke*

..MOTHERHOOD : 7 Signs That Your Child Loves You..
You have doubts on whether your child loves you? Awwww… no worries. There’s always a way to find out. Thanks to BabyCenter, we will now know the answers ;).
Excerpt from BabyCenter :
Excerpt from BabyCenter :
- Your newborn stares into your eyes
- He's actually working hard to memorise your face. He doesn't understand anything else about the world, but he knows you're important.
- MakcikAini's Experience : Yessss! I soooo remember when Syafi gave me that stare. Although, sadly I cannot remember Kakak's and Dedek's stares though :p. I am OLD. *Blushed*
- Your baby thinks about you even when you're not around
- Between eight and 12 months old, he'll start to scrunch his face and look around when you leave the room, and he'll smile when you return.
- MakcikAini's Experience : Awwww.. it really melts my heart whenever my Baby Syafi did that. Actually, all the 3 still do that. Hehehe... they are all very attached to me, I would say. As for Syafi, I am most of the time remembered when he is hungry for milk. Kakak and Dedek, when they want to go to the toilet, to take their bath, to eat and lots more. When I am away in Austin, they SKYPE me although, Upin and Ipin got more attention than I do. Hahaha... *tetiba emo*
- Your toddler throws wicked tantrums
- Nope, those screaming fits don't mean he's stopped loving you. He couldn't show he was so hurt and angry if he didn't trust you so deeply.
- MakcikAini's Experience : Wow! Really something for a way to show their love, huh! I guess, this is the thing that I have to dealt with almost everyday and so, I am so much LOVED by my kids? Hehehe... Alhamdulillah.
- Your toddler runs to you for comfort when he falls down or feels sad
- Children this age may not truly understand the meaning of "I love you," but their actions speak louder than words.
- MakcikAini's Experience : This is also an everyday "I love you" that I get :p.
- Your preschooler gives you a flower picked from the garden
- Or a finger-painted heart, a sparkly stone or another gift.
- MakcikAini's Experience : Hmm.. it's not possible. Firstly, there's no flowers for them to pick in the garden. Kekeke...
- Your preschooler wants your approval
- He'll start to be more cooperative around the house and he'll look for chances to impress. "Look at me!" will become a catchphrase.
- MakcikAini's Experience : I am currently experiencing this from all the 3 ;). Each and everyone of them loves it so much if I were to ask them to do something, provided they are in the MOOD, if you know what I mean :p. Otherwise, nobody even cares like the saying, "Ada aku kesah". Hahahaha...
- Your school-age child trusts you with secrets
- This could be his first crush or his most embarrassing moment. You're his confidante, even if he shies away from your hugs in public.
- MakcikAini's Experience : Probably, not relevant yet. Perhaps, soon?

..Meet Up Again After One Whole Year..
Plans after plans have been made but none of it came true. Surprisingly, the days, the weeks, the months have come to A YEAR. Golly! Time does fly so fast around here, huh!
We plan to meet up for a Makan-Makan Ikan Bakar Session @ Jeram last Saturday. However, due to it being a last minute plan, when we called the place up, it was totally FULL. Crap!! Now we have to start looking for another meeting place. I looked up the INTERNET and found a Chinese Muslim Restaurant in Shah Alam which is a good location for all of us since I am from Seri Kembangan, Marr from Cheras and Kin from Sungai Buloh. So, Shah Alam is somewhat the CENTER of all.
Seriously, I was looking forward for the day. A day where I get to GOSSIP with my OLD TIME BUDDIES. It’s really a great feeling you know, to be able to meet up, to just eat and sit and chit-chat non-stop with them.
The night before, Dedek was unwell. There’s no sign of fever or diarrhea but she just couldn’t stop vomiting until there’s nothing else. It’s probably due to wind.
I have already got a bad feeling that I would not be able to meet up with MY VERY OWN GOSSIP GIRLS but I don’t want to give up so soon.
I called the GIRLS up and told them for A CHANGE OF PLAN. Instead of meeting up at the Chinese Muslim Restaurant, why not they just come over to my place. Although, I have to warn them that since it’s a last minute thing so don’t hope much as I will just do whatever I can in the few hours I have after my class ended that is. Kin agreed to cook Mee Hoon Goreng and I forced Marr to buy vanilla ice cream. Hehe..
In my head, if nuggets, chicken wings, burgers and Kin’s Mee Hoon Goreng are not enough, I would just call up Domina’s Pizza. Thank God, it was sufficient. Everybody ate and I don’t think anyone was left hungry. I even had to open up a cooking class of Chocolate Molten Lava Cake for them to have their desserts. Hehe.. *all thanks to Syafi because he doesn’t want to be put down*
All in all, we had the greatest time. We talked, we laughed, we joked the night away. As usual, before the meet up ends, we again PLAN for a follow up session. But, believe me, it took us a YEAR for this day and I cannot be sure, how long will it take us to plan for OUR PD SHORT VACAY ;). Although, I so can’t wait.
Anyways, thank you very much to my dearest KIN and MARR for ONE HAPPY DAY. Love you guys to bittsss!!!
Sadly, we didn’t take any pictures at all for us to reminisce. At least, we have this BLOG for us or me, especially to remember by. *As I have the highest chance to forget and not remember. Short Term Memory, you may call it* Kekeke..

..Salam Maulidur Rasul S.A.W Buat Semua..
Excerpt from Friend’s Facebook Wall:
Khutbah terakhir Rasulullah s.a.w. Ini merupakan khutbah terakhir Rasulullah s.a.w. yang disampaikan pada 9 Zulhijjah Tahun 10 Hijrah di Lembah Uranah, Gunung Arafah.
Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Mengasihani
Wahai manusia, dengarlah baik-baik apa yang hendak kukatakan, Aku tidak mengetahui apakah aku dapat bertemu lagi dengan kamu semua selepas tahun ini. Oleh itu, denga...rlah dengan teliti kata-kataku ini dan sampaikanlah ia kepada orang-orang yang tidak dapat hadir disini pada hari ini.
Wahai manusia, sepertimana kamu menganggap bulan ini dan kota ini sebagai suci, anggaplah jiwa dan harta setiap orang Muslim sebagai amanah suci. Kembalikan harta yang diamanahkan kepada kamu kepada pemiliknya yang berhak. Janganlah kamu sakiti sesiapapun agar orang lain tidak menyakiti kamu lagi. Ingatlah bahawa sesungguhya kamu akan menemui Tuhan kamu dan Dia pasti membuat perhitungan di atas segala amalan kamu. Allah telah mengharamkan riba, oleh itu, segala urusan yang melibatkan riba dibatalkan mulai sekarang.
Berwaspadalah terhadap syaitan demi keselamatan agama kamu. Dia telah berputus asa untuk menyesatkan kamu dalam perkara-perkara besar, maka berjaga-jagalah supaya kamu tidak mengikutinya dalam perkara-perkara kecil.
Wahai manusia sebagaimana kamu mempunyai hak atas isteri kamu, mereka juga mempunyai hak ke atas kamu. Sekiranya mereka menyempurnakan hak mereka ke atas kamu, maka mereka juga berhak diberikan makan dan pakaian, dalam suasana kasih sayang. Layanilah wanita-wanita kamu dengan baik dan berlemah-lembutlah terhadap mereka kerana sesungguhnya mereka adalah teman dan pembantu kamu yang setia. Dan hak kamu atas mereka ialah mereka sama sekali tidak boleh memasukkan orang yang kamu tidak sukai ke dalam rumah kamu dan dilarang melakukan zina.
Wahai manusia, dengarlah bersungguh-sungguh kata-kataku ini, sembahlah Allah, dirikanlah solat lima waktu, berpuasalah di bulan Ramadhan, dan tunaikanlah zakat dari harta kekayaan kamu. Kerjakanlah ibadah haji sekiranya kamu mampu. (Semua manusia berasal dari Adam dan Hawa, tidak ada (bangsa) Arab yang lebih mulia dari (bangsa) bukan Arab atau (bangsa) bukan Arab lebih mulia dari (bangsa) Arab; juga tidak ada yang (berkulit) putih lebih mulia dari yang (berkulit) hitam atau yang (berkulit) hitam lebih mulia dari (berkulit) putih) Ketahuilah bahawa setiap Muslim adalah saudara kepada Muslim yang lain. Kamu semua adalah sama; tidak seorang pun yang lebih mulia dari yang lainnya kecuali dalam Taqwa dan beramal saleh.
Ingatlah, bahawa kamu akan menghadap Allah pada suatu hari untuk dipertanggungjawabkan diatas segala apa yang telah kamu kerjakan. Oleh itu, awasilah agar jangan sekali-kali kamu terkeluar dari landasan kebenaran selepas ketiadaanku.
Wahai manusia, tidak ada lagi Nabi atau Rasul yang akan datang selepasku dan tidak akan lahir agama baru. Oleh itu wahai manusia, nilailah dengan betul dan fahamilah kata-kataku yang telah aku sampaikan kepada kamu. Sesungguhnya aku tinggalkan kepada kamu dua perkara, yang sekiranya kamu berpegang teguh dan mengikuti kedua-duanya, nescaya kamu tidak akan tersesat selama-lamanya. Itulah Al-Qur an dan Sunnahku.
Hendaklah orang-orang yang mendengar ucapanku, menyampaikan pula kepada orang lain. Semoga yang terakhir lebih memahami kata-kataku dari mereka yang terus mendengar dariku. Saksikanlah Ya Allah, bahawasanya telah aku sampaikan risalahMU kepada hamba-hambaMu.
Baginda s.a.w.berkhutbah di atas untanya al-Qaswah. Tidak lama selepas Khutbah ini disampaikan turun wahyu iaitu ayat 3 Surah al-Maidah :
الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَأَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَرَضِيْتُ لَكُمُ الإِسْلاَمَ دِيْناً
“Pada hari ini, telah Aku sempurnakan bagimu Agamamu, dan telah aku cukupkan nikmatKu untukmu, dan Aku redha Islam menjadi agamamu”. (Al-Maidah-3)

..ILMIAH JUMAAT : Formula Mengubati ‘Penyakit’ Mulut Celupar Daripada Rasulullah SAW..
Excerpt from ILuvIslam.
Adakah anda pernah terfikir dan sedar anda bermulut celupar? Sedarkah anda apabila kita berbicara, tanpa disedari kita telah mengguris hati dan perasaan orang lain? Pernahkan anda dipinggirkan kerana anda suka bercakap 'lepas'?
Sebagai manusia biasa, kita tidak pernah terlepas dan lari dari melakukan kesilapan dalam segala tindakan serta percakapan harian.
Rasulullah telah meninggalkan beberapa petua untuk mengubati penyakit lisan dan petua yang berguna untuk mengubati penyakit-penyakit lain seperti suka memfitnah, mengumpat, menipu, bercakap kotor dan sebagainya selain mulut celupar.
Pertama, Rasulullah menyuruh kita diam apabila terdorong untuk bertutur perkara yang tidak sepatutnya.
Sahabat Abu Syuraih Al-Khuza'iy r.a. menyatakan bahawa Rasulullah pernah berpesan, "Sesiapa yang beriman kepada Allah dan Hari Akhirat, maka hendaklah dia bercakap hanya perkara yang baik atau diam."
Kedua, Rasulullah menyuruh kita berzikir bagi mengimbangi aktiviti lidah. Kebanyakan dari kita menggunakan lidah untuk kemudahan dan kepentingan diri dan terlupa memuji pencipta lidah setiap hari. Kata-kata yang dihasilkan oleh lidah dalam memuji pencipta lidah lebih sedikit berbanding dengan kata-kata yang dihasilkan ketika berkomunikasi sesama kita.
Menurut sahabat Ibnu Umar, Rasulullah pernah berkata, "Janganlah kamu banyak bercakap tanpa berzikir kepada Allah, kerana sesungguhnya banyak bercakap tanpa berzikir kepada Allah mengakibatkan kerasnya hati, dan orang yang paling jauh dengan Allah adalah orang yang paling keras hati." Rasulullah pernah menyatakan menerusi Imam Bukhari, terdapat dua kalimat zikir yang paling disukai oleh Allah SWT yang sangat mudah diucapkan tetapi sangat berat untuk diamalkan.
Kedua-dua kalimat itu adalah 'subhanallah wa bihamdihi' dan 'subhanallah hil azim' yang membawa maksud 'Maha suci Allah dan segala pujian kepadaNya' dan, 'Maha suci Allah yang Maha Besar.'
Selain itu, dalam riwayat lain diceritakan, sesiapa yang membaca 'subhanallah wa bihamdihi' sebanyak 100 kali sehari, maka semua dosanya diampunkan oleh Allah SWT meski pun sebanyak buih di lautan.
Ketiga, Rasulullah mengajar agar kita sentiasa beristighfar untuk mengelakkan lidah kita dari terus 'rancak' membicarakan perkara yang kita sendiri tidak ketahui akan kesahihannya.
Istighfar bermaksud memohon keampunan dan kita digalakkan untuk beristighfar sekurang-kurangnya dengan mengucapkan, 'Astaghfirullahazim' disertakan 'perasaan menyesal' di dalam hati.
Rasulullah dalam amalan hariannya selalu beristighfar sebanyak 100 kali untuk mengelakkan keburukan dalam lidahnya.
Jika Rasulullah yang maksum dan baik tutur kata beristighfar kepada Allah sebanyak itu, bagaimana pula agaknya jumlah kuantiti istighfar orang yang mempunyai penyakit lisan?
Bagi mereka yang ingin berubah, tidak salah kalau ingin mencuba dan mengamalkan formula dan teknik yang Rasulullah amalkan supaya kita dapat memperbaiki diri serta tidak sekali-kali ‘meletakkan’ manusia lain itu lebih rendah dari diri kita sendiri.
Yang baik itu eloklah kita ambil sebagai ilmu dan pengajaran serta hindarilah perkara-perkara yang boleh membawa sifat mazmumah dalam diri kita. Insyallah.
