Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...


Dengan nama Allah, bermula semula berkongsi akal dan rasa dalam blog yang telah lama bersawang ini...


pelbagai pahit manis masin masam kehidupan telah dilalui...jatuh bangun guling2...alhamdulillah..masih diberikan lagi ruang dan peluang kesempatan untuk berbakti pada agama ini.


peristiwa2 menggugah jiwa, bersulam duka gembira berlalu dengan begitu pantas dengan detik2 masa..


antaranya.. yang masih terpahat segar di kepala..


1. hijrah seorang 'aku' telah diperkenankan (bumi merah~~ tunggu!!insyaAllah)
2. ahli keluarga yang terhampir telah berhijrah juga (semoga menjadi lebih soleh!)
3. ahli keluarga yang hampir telah kembali bertemu Dia...(muhasabah yg hebat buat diri)
4. melalui fasa2 kefuturan yang amat dasyat dalam sejarah (dlm proses pemulihan dan rawatan..serta tempoh bertenang)
5. penggabungan dua tenteranya dalam medan..(penuh dengan tarbiyah dariNya)


pastinya, inilah kehidupan...andai jelas matlamatnya akan dipandu menuju yang Satu...


hidup ini benar2 tempat persinggahan dan merupakan medan untuk mengutip bukti2 dan bahan2 yg boleh dijadikan eviden padaNya kelak..


kini, dan hari ini... beberapa2 istilah juga telah dipelajari dalam bentuk realiti...realiti tidak akan sama dengan teori...


1. pengorbanan (tadhiyah)
2. tsabat
3. istiqamah
4. ukhuwah
5. sabar
6. jihad
7. thiqah
8. ikhlas


masih dalam skolah kehidupan...bila2 masa akan diberhentikan sesi pendidikan... Istimewanya, tarikh berhenti sekolah tidak diberitahu....tapi, segala proses-proses ujian yang dijalani di sekolah ini perlu dipertanggungjawabkan...


ya Allah, smoga diri ini lepas dalam ujian istilah2 y hebat itu...

bingkisan sebalik NERACA HATI

picture: rawdha-sakeena.blogspot.com

Di jasad tiap insan
Diciptakan hati membendungi perasaan
Di situlah bermula
Satu pertimbangan penentuan arah

Tiada apapun jua
Diciptakan sia-sia
Tiada apapun jua
Yang terjadi tiba-tiba

Hati menjadi neraca diri
Tiap langkah harus diimbangi

Diberikan pilihan
Akal dan fikiran, hati dengan perasaan
Usahalah mencari
Kekuatan diri saat kau diuji

Umpama cermin dihinggapi debu
Demikian hatimu
Seandainya dibiarkan begitu
Pasti akan kelabu pandanganmu
Kehidupan akan jadi tak menentu

Dianugerahkan Tuhan
Pada tiap insan ada keistimewaan
Di hatilah bermula
Tiap pertimbangan tiap langkah

hijjaz-Neraca diri

Hatiku bagaikan diketuk, terbangkit dari satu realiti kehidupan yang sebenar~
tiada apa yang berlaku, melainkan semuanya telah ditentukan dan pasti terdapat hikmah disebaliknya...
bahkan ketika aku menaip bait2 bicara di sini juga adalah ketetapan yg ditentukan...
cuma, kadang kala...setiap kejadian y berlaku itu bermula disaat kita membuat pilihan...
disitu lah letakkannya hati sebagai raja diamanahkan untuk membuat pilihan yang terbaik

setelah detik2 pilihan itulah akan bermulanya episod baru...
episod2 yg akan meneruskan babak2 kemanusiaan yang bertuhan
andai hati itu lemah dan tiada cukup kekuatan
pasti akan ditemui ujian2
disitu akan diperbetulkan oleh Tuhan...

usah gusar~ kerana masih ada Tuhan yang memacu dan memberi kita pilihan~
semoga setiap ujian dan pilihan diberkati dan dibuahkan keimanan yg mendalam...

Qualitatives really make sense

Alhamdulillah, today was the final day of our qualitative workshop (actually yesterday, heee). Many new things I’ve learned and I feel like cracking my head into two. Since years have left over the feeling of being a student. Perhaps, this may be the starting point for me to reheat the engine back, so I would not be really surprise soon when I begin my study for PhD. InsyaAllah…

Listen to the lectures and do some group work for the afternoon session really had dried me up. Huhuhu! Unbelievable, the motivation and spirit of being a student have long gone.. masyaAllah, quite tiring when need to focus and try gather the energy back, however the fun are there. I am enjoying a lot from what I gained from these two days of fruitful workshop.

After all, I really appreciate it so much, since years I'd been swimming in quantitative research, the methods, design… thank Allah.. Fortunately, I get the chances to explore new things from this workshop. Fresh knowledge from the market (macam dapat ikan pulak)and the most best about it is I could really understand and appreciate more about what a qualitative research is.

Besides that, there was also group work for the afternoon session taht i mention just now, well…from there I gain a lot of surprising experience by hands on the exact system of how to make data from qualitative methods to make sense. Moreover, it really make my head spin for think deeper what really about the data i gain.. just imagined that, your data gain from qualitative is the words of people, the interaction, their body language, the things around them, the voice, the arts and all the things unrelated to numbers and percentage... that's really great and i just could put it as 'wow!'. Seriously, I suddenly fell in love with qualitative research design, the methods as well as how we need to interpret the data.. seems like it really suites me.. heheheh…tada ~

that's all~

please appreciate your love ones

"You Raise Me Up"

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be

10 things make you be a good Research Candidature

1. Intelligence
   Intelligence (including academic ability, intellect, brightness and common sense) was the most common quality associated with the ideal graduate research candidate.
   "They need to be bright with a good dose of common sense for work in a research laboratory."
   "The best students are those who are bright enough and motivated enough to work independently and submit high quality prose."
2. Independence / Confidence
   The ability to work and think independently is one of the basic prerequisites for studying a research degree. Qualities associated with independence were confidence, initiative and the ability to take responsibility.
   "They should be able to work with minimal supervision, but that does not mean that the supervisor is not available for discussions on the research being undertaken."
   "Independence of thought is a key attribute that has to develop as the PhD progresses"
   "The student should ideally be able to work independently and develop their own questions and pursue their own lines of thought."
3. Commitment
   Almost half of the supervisors mentioned commitment (to gain knowledge, to complete work or to do well) as the key to successful research degree completion. Other expressions illustrating commitment were perseverance, persistence, determination, dedication, tenacity, resilience and endurance.
   "The most important qualities a PhD candidate will need are perseverance and commitment, probably more so than raw intelligence."
   "All of the qualities are important for the student to get the most out of their research degree; but if they have a high level of commitment (I REALLY want to do this, and well) then the rest will usually follow".
4. Literacy / numeracy
   Literacy, mostly described as good writing and language skills as well as the ability to express and organise ideas, is highly valued by most supervisors. Some supervisors also require their students to have essential statistical and mathematical skills.
   "I think that writing ability is very important - it wastes a lot of my time (and the student's) if we have to spend a lot of effort and time on correcting drafts."
   "Literacy is on the list simply because time pressures don't allow a student the luxury of a lack of writing skill to start with, however writing can be taught."
5. Time management / organisational skills
   The ideal research degree student is organised, can plan their work, meets deadlines, pays attention to detail and meets regularly with supervisors. Overall they have good study and work habits.
   "A good student is one who works hard, plans their programme of work (with advice) and has the imagination to see the beauty and fascination of a research topic and then to write clearly and precisely about what he or she has discovered".
6. Curiosity / ability to learn
   A valued quality in research degree students is intellectual curiosity and the willingness and ability to learn new things. This curiosity includes having an inquiring and open mind, as well as flexibility and adaptability.
   "A good graduate student is not necessarily the one with the top grades but the one who is willing to ask questions, to challenge what they are told but is also [able] to take advice".
   "The best students will also have real intrinsic curiosity about the world and about their project".
   "The ideal thesis student for me is someone who brings a strong sense of intellectual curiosity to their project and who is willing and able to translate that curiosity into a dedicated course of study".
7. Enthusiasm and passion
   A successful student is enthusiastic, passionate and has a deep interest in the subject or research.
   "For me, the desire to do research and a passion for the field of inquiry are key, but they are not the only things needed."
   "Although academic background is essential it is not sufficient in the absence of dedication and enthusiasm and communication skill".
   "In my opinion the most important properties are a commitment to work hard, and when problems are encountered to be able to look at them from many angles and find logical solutions. Generally these traits will only come with a strong passion for the work they are doing".
8. Ability to think
   The ability to think refers to the capacity to develop necessary research skills including the ability to analyze, synthesize, conceptualise, develop an argument and think critically. Ideal students can think broadly ('get the big picture'), laterally and logically.
   "An ideal student is marked by an ability to think, ask questions, and look for the answers in research, and be prepared to write and argue about them (in writing and with supervisors)".
   "The student should be able to think both at the metalevel and at the object level, in other words both about the general coarse-grained aspects of relevance and broad patterns, and at the fine-grained level of intricate details".
9. Hard working/ diligence
   Studying a research degree requires diligence and hard work. Strong work ethics, discipline, focus, efficiency and professionalism are all necessary for successful study and research.
   "PG study is hard work and dedication. Having a life while studying is also important. The best students have a balance to their lives where they work hard but enjoy their time at university too."
   "Hard working and paying attention to supervisors' advice are highly required."
10. Motivation
    Good research students have strong reasons for pursuing a PhD or Master's degree; they are ambitious and highly motivated to learn new things and get a graduate degree.
    "I think one reason why so many students take too long to complete is because they are not pursuing a PhD for the right reason (or for any reason at all)"
    "Self-motivation is the essential ingredient that will help make even the more challenged students successful."
    "Although high-intelligence (good exam marks) are required prior to commencing graduate research I would rate motivation as the most important factor".
    "A candidate for a PhD must WANT to do it, and be a self-starter"

Ketenangan yang dicari...dapat~

Sesungguhnya Allah adalah perancang yang terbaik.. kerana apa? Trip ku untuk bertafakur alam ditakdirkan bertukar menjadi trip taman2 ilmu di bumi Bangi..

Syukur tak terhingga.. sungguh juga, Allah itu jua pemberi jalan keluar yang terbaik..

Malam itu.. kami singgah di Masjid Hasanah, Bangi.. guess what? Sheikh Ali Salleh Mohd Ali Jabir seorang alim yang juga seorang guru tahfiz dari masjid nabawi married to Indonesian women has came here in Malaysia, and fortunately he was there to deliver his tazkirah magrib. MasyaAllah.. dari nak singgah solat je.. punggung ku dipaksa berlabuh untuk mendengar tazkirah ringkas dari beliau.. kudratNya yang membuatkan jasad ku dibawa ke situ (Alhamdulillah)...dalam paksa... rupanya ada hikmah yang luar biasa..

Tazkirah ringkas dan padat tapi terpahat dibenakku…. Ketenangan yang dicari dijawab pertama2nya melalui tazkirah beliau… he was talking about MUSIBAH… based on tafsir surah Al-Baqarah (2: 155- 158)…few others yang related… As-Syura (42:30, 39-43) and Al Hadid (57:22-23).. such a bless for me, for us .. antara few of his points I would like to share and conclude here are:

1. Musibah dan azab are two different things.

- Musibah goes to both muslim and non-muslim, but azab goes for kufar

- Musibah adalah nikmat dan pengajaran, manakala azab adalah hukuman Allah.

- Contoh utk musibah adalah seperti Tsunami yang berlaku di Acheh..dan bencana2 yang berlaku sekarang dan akan datang

- Contoh untuk azab pula adalah seperti yang terjadi kepada kaum Nabi Nuh, Kaum Nabi Saleh, dan banayak kaum yang tiada lagi keturunannya di muka bumi.

2. Orang yang paling terima banyak musibah adalah Rasulullah SAW.

3. Siapa yang tidak pernah mendapat musibah, adalah orang yang rugi

4. Apabila berhadapan dengan musibah.. bertahmid lah sebanyak tiga kali dan diikuti melafaz inalillahiwainnailahirojiun.. (Alhamdulillah pertama- musibah yang hadir tidak menggugat akidah: takde la smpi nak tukar agama, Alhamdulillah kedua- musibah yang hadir tidak sangat parah: contoh mendapat penyakit demam,ok la sbb tak lumpuh lagi, dan Alhamdulillah ketiga- musibah yang hadir , Allah masih kurniakan kesabaran utk menghadapinya).

That’s about the tazkirah.. Sheikh also reminded us to always be good to parents (setiap titisan air mata ibu akibat sedih dengan sikap anak2, menyebabkan datangnya azab dan membuka pintu neraka) besides, Azab Anak derhaka tidak akan ditangguh hingga akhirat.. akan dibalas cash.. di dunia… just wait and see, if u dare...

Alhamdulillah for the night.. then, esoknya, dengan izinNYa sekali lagi jasad ini dibawa ke SUrau yang juga Sheikh yang sama memberikan kuliah Dhuha..

The main point that I get: Dasar sebuah rumahtangga yang diredhai Allah adalah

1. Taqwa – taat pada Allah dan Rasul

2. Ikhlas – buat baik balas baik, buat jahat balas baik juga ---belajar ikhlas dari sekarang…

3. Cinta – carilah dan memberilah sesuatu yang disukai oleh pasangan/kawan/siblings.. akan membuahkan cinta

4. Jujur

Nak eloberate panjang pula… but this is the things yang Rasulullah SAW teach us.. insyaAllah…

Yeps… these are the small things I get but significant in my journey which actually I want to get from tafakur alam.. tapi Allah mengurniakan sesuatu yang lebih baik.. dan luar biasa.. seriously, seolah2.. I get all the answer and part of my solution for my disease… Allah are Great.. and He Always great and never make us disappointed..

Selagi mana hati ini ingin kebaikan.. dan selagi mana, Allah inginkan kebaikan bagi kita.. dimana dan pada bila-bila masa, Dia akan memberikan kebaikan tersebut.. so, amat merugilah if we failed to appreciate it.. how lucky we are to be His servants..alhamdulillah…

That’s All for now..

Balighu anni walau ayyah~
