Utopia

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم To compare between Egypt and Malaysia, doubtlessly the homeland would be superior in most aspects. However, regarding Ramadhan, Egypt is far better leaving Malaysia. I never understood the meaning of "The Month of Al-Quran" until I came here. Formerly the phrase just lived in tazkirah and articles. The Qiyam prayer (tarawikh) especially is very touching that rarely can be found in Malaysia unfortunately. May this Ramadhan be better than before. May Allah forgive us all. -------------------------------------------------------------- Future is completely blind  to human. We never know, yet may predict, what will happen even a second after. I never thought of studying abroad. Being in the last class in most of the time during secondary school, making studying abroad an utopia for me. Then now I am here thousand miles from homeland.

Marhaban Ya Ramadhan

بسم الله الرحن الرحيم Streets are decorated with  lanterns. Shops and restaurants are being lighten by colorful lights. Mosques are spreading greeting cards titled Ramadhan Kareem Allahu Akram . People are smiling and spreading salam when meet. These are none other than the signs that the awaited Ramadhan is coming! This is the month of Al-Quran, the month of reflection, and the month of good deeds.

May Allah guide us to go through this Ramadhan with success. Marhaban Ya Ramadhan!

We never know how we are going to behave when blessed with money and positions unless we have them. Having just known by our small society and being pointed as a leader is just very small that we do not have much to lose. Despite criticising corrupt leaders, or even ulama', just be fair to ourselves. Rememeber that we always have 100 percent chance to be like them or even worse when being in their position. Do criticise and reflection. One of the best trait so far I know to be in a best leader is humble. I met that kind of leader and I swear being very happy to work with him. No being-controlled feeling. No hesitation to ask silly questions. No offence in giving any kind of opinions. That is the true leader! To guide not to control. With low wings, everybody or anything can be murabbi. Seniors, juniors, ch
