Rindu PadaMu

Tiada sehari yang berlalu
Tanpaku mengingatiMu
Rindu padaMu
Ku sentiasa mendambakan
Kasih dan sayangMu
Semalam aku bermimpi
Di dalam hujanku berlari..berlari
Mencari memanggil-manggil namaMu
Namamu yang sempurna
Ku harap
Dan ku berdoa
Semoga dapat bersua denganMu
Tiada kata yang dapatku gambarkan
Perasaan yangku alami
Cintaku ini tiada berbelah bagi
Cinta yang suci dan abadi
Apakah aku diterima
Atau Kau kan membiarkan saja
Kerana ku berdosa
Jangan biarku terhina
Ku merayu padaMu

Tak tahu kenapa..selepas subuh pagi tadi, waktu bilik masih lagi hening, tiba-tiba teringat akan bait-bait lagu Yassin ni. Sungguhpun ini lagu yang boleh ditafsir sebagai lagu cinta sebenarnya, tapi bagi saya, saya nampak maksudnya ditujukan buat Allah. Ditambah pula setelah membaca tafsir Surah Al-Kahfi dan menyambung hafazan yag tak sederas dulu, serasa ada rindu yang sangat memuncak dalam hati. Terfikir pula seketika. Sempurnakah solat selama hidup ini? Cukupkah amalan? Apakah bekalan di hari kemudian? Tak terjawab... Betapa saya rasa sangat-sangat terperosok jauh ke dalam lubung yag dalam kerana malu untuk berdepan denganNya nanti. Sungguhpun kini malu, tapi dalam hati masih ada rindu buatMu...

(Al-Baqarah:153)

Men's Day & Women's Nite

Time: 2100-2330
Menu: Steamboat with fresh squids, veg, sausages, crabs, mixed seafoods, the real Malay sambal tumis, spaghetti Italiano, baked cheesy macaronni, French-Malaysian caramel, spicy fried chicken, egg-mayo salad, 2 cakes -appricoat and strawberry-, Egyptian Rosselle juice and Yamanist tea with milk.
Buddies of the nite: Wanie-Wani-Sarah-Sarah (KS)-Ili-Izni (Adilah)-Afifah-(Adibah) Hanim-Hatim-Emy-Emily (Mily)-Miza-Muna-Murni-Mekti-Fatini-Fareena-Shazrin-Sharina

C for Cantik

Salam wbt

I've tried my best in looking for a few minutes to spend time for My World. But it just happened that my daily routine in February is so pack. 9am-4.30pm, 6 days a week. What a hectic month.

The 1st cycle of the sem, again, is Topography Anatomy and Operative Surgery (Topan) and Ears, Nose and Throat (ENT). But after have gone through it for 3 weeks, I finally fall in love with the operative part. 3 days ago, I did a well done job on Anastomosis of Femoral Artery operation (on a corpse of course). I now can handle instruments and do the stitch up thing very fast. For my own record, I did it in 45 minutes only. If Mr. Jaffrey knows about this, he'd regret for double-standardizing me with medical students from UK and Ireland when I was in my practical term in Temerloh Hospital, last summer. Once he knew I'm from Moscow, RUSSIA, he started to cynically let me feel that only not-enough-qualified students are here in Russia. But once he knew that I'm a government sponsored student, he no longer brought up the subject in conversation since only fully qualified students with excellent record in SPM will be offered by JPA. What a pity thing. Such thing always happened to us, medical students from Russia and Ukraine. Ok. Leave the topic aside. Let's have a look on what I want to share with 'C'.

1) See Yen Nee - My groupmate Wendy. Her surname is See that sounds as simple as C

2) Cantik - reminds me to my best cousin, Nisa (now doing medicine in UIA, 3rd year)

3) Cute - Ustaz Marzuki and Kak Erin's youngest son, Aufa wawawawawawa

4) Creative - reminds me to my cousins, Hidayah and Linda who always have great ideas in producing something with their own hands

5) Charming - my dear Farid Kamil. Been my Prince Charming ever since 5 years ago (you know why)

6) Caring - my beloved Kak Ani and Abg Wan

7) Careless - Huhu... A****H H***M

8) Chocolate - Of course Alpen Gold (purple and yellow). Other than these two, I don't eat them.

9) Cappucino - Very the very very delicious! I prefer Imen's home made cappucino with chocolate cream on top!

10) Cinta - Undescribable. But a name suddenly crosses my mind... (the reason of being in shy mode. My Prince Charming tulah kan)

11) Cucur aka Cekodok - reminds me to an auntie who sells pisang goreng and also her son

12) Cold - It's Moscow

13) Clock - My watch that is same in pattern and brand with someone in Malaysia

14) Cermin mata - I'm the freaky specky who can't live without my spect on

All after all, I prefer C for Cantik (beautiful). Rasulullah pbuh said, women are decorations of the world and the best decoration is the pious ones (muslimah solehah).

Note: Mr. Jaffrey is a good guy actually. He's the Head of Surgical Department of Temerloh Hospital aka Sultan Ahmad Shah Hospital and also a Consultant Surgeon of the Pahang State. Only for the 1st 2 days he was very numb and bias, but after he knew me well, I think he already changed his perceptions towards students from Russia generally, and me specifically. Don't judge a book by its cover okay!

B for Burdah


Salam wbt

Recently I found myself got stuck on solawat with burdah type. Do u guys have any idea how does it sound? Try this link : Qasidah Burdah


Actually I started paying attention on this type of solawat when I went to Cairo, more specific to Imam Shafie's Mosque and Maqam. I sitted by his maqam for a few minutes and was captured by a calm and peaceful scenery there. And next to his maqam inside the mosque, there were a few old people sitting there reading the Holy Quran and there was an old blind man reciting a very nice melodical solawat that I never knew before. Very unfamiliar to me.


I asked my friend what is it and she explained that is Burdah, a special solawat to praise Rasulullah PBUH in a special intonation created by Imam Busairi in his poem. But the one that recited by the old man was a special poem dedicated to Imam Shafie and it was about knowledges, since he was very popular in his hardworking to gain knowledges everywhere, any time. I recorded it using my camera and when got back to Moscow, I listened to it for more than 10 times.

After 4 days reaching here, I received a CD from my friend in Cairo containing 10 solawat burdahs that are dedicated to different people in different versions. The one that I suggested above is Qasidah Burdah Sharif. Since I have problem to upload the video from youtube to my blog, I just can give the link. May we now become more in love to know the arts of Islam.


Here u are. B for Burdah.

A for Ayah

Salam wbt

I slept early last night. But I woke up back at 3am. Just to prepare for Operative Surgery exam this Monday. While studying on bed, under my comfy blue duvet (but I was sitting, not lying), I was thinking about my bro, Adnan, and surely about my family as well. When it was already 7am, I decided to take a short nip before going to class. at 8.30am.

Just about to sleep, my phone ringing and it was ayah who called me fom Malaysia. Ayah wanted to let me know about my bank card. I miss his voice. After about 5 minutes talking to him, I continued my dastardly plan: to sleep! And in my dream, I went back to Malaysia in a sudden, without telling my parents about it (because I'm planning not going back this summer holiday). When I was in Temerloh town, I met my Mak Tam, the best untie ever, with my cousin, Hidayah. When we were shopping in 1 famous butiqeu there, Hidayah told me that Ayah Ngah (my ayah) will come to take them home in a few minutes.

I asked Mak Tam, should I go back with them to meet mak, ayah and the rest? Mak Tam strongly asked me to pay them a visit for a while since I was already in Temerloh. But still, I refused to. My reason was, once I meet them, I don't want to open my eyes because I will lose them in a second! (Which mean that I realised that I was dreaming)
Haven't finished thinking about it, suddenly ayah already arrived there and I ran to him. I hug him tight. I cried. I really did. I told him how much I wanted to go back with him but I didn't want to lose them all at once. I still remember, I hug him with my eyes closed. With my eyes wet with tears.

Suddenly my alarm rang, it's 8am. It's time to get prepared for class.

A big question mark left in my mind. Should I go back this summer holiday eventhough I have my own reasons for not going back? I miss my family. I miss my family. I miss my family.

I still remember ayah's selawat while swinging us when we were kids with his self-composed intonation. And his Ku Ku Pak Iman. Ayah might be smiling reading this entry, and also, might be watering his eyes.

All after all, A is for Ayah. The best 'A' I ever had. A dua I pray for him from Allah the Almighty.

Pizza Separuh Penuh

Salam wbt

Baru sekarang berkesempatan mengemaskinikan blog. Tengahari tadi, sedang meja berselerak dengan buku-buku Topography Anatomy dan ENT, tangan saya sempat menyelak-nyelak buku catatan peribadi aktiviti harian di sini. Dalam pada itu, mata saya sempat menangkap perkiraan rambang yang dibuat untuk mengetahui jumlah pelajar muslim di Rusia yang sedang mengikuti program tarbiah dan dakwah. Lebih specifik lagi, jumlah pelajar yang sedang ingin bersama-sama mengikat diri dengan Islam agar tidak lari jauh dari jalan-Nya.

Sungguh menggembirakan hati semua pendokong jalan ini di Russia, sebenarnya, dalam pada kita semua bimbang memikirkan ke mana hala tuju kita dan rakan-rakan pada suatu hari nanti, alhamdulillah sebenarnya Ar-Rahman dan Ar-Rahim Allah buat kita semua masih sangat besar. Setelah perkiraan itu dibuat baru-baru ini, hampir 50% daripada jumlah pelajar Malaysia Muslim di bumi Russia ini terlibat dalam proses peningkatan rohani ini. Syukur ke hadrat ilahi.
Memang kadang-kala bagi yang terlibat sebagai penggerak di sini tidak dapat elak dari gangguan bimbang dan risau melihatkan apakah nasib iman dan aqidah kita di sini. Akan tetapi, apa yang terzahir dari semangat dan keinginan rakan-rakan kita seharusnya kita semua jadikan motivasi terbaik untuk terus bergerak bersama, membawa dan memberikan yang terbaik untuk memelihara iman dan aqidah kita sepanjang tempoh kita bermukim di sini dan seterusnya dijadikan sebagai pemangkin untuk kita terus bergerak tatkala kita pulang berkhidmat di Malaysia suatu hari nanti.

Sejujurnya, perkembangan sebeginilah yang kini nanti-nantikan dari remaja-remaja di seluruh dunia. Dan seandainya timbul masalah-masalah berbangkit berkaitan muamalah (pergaulan) dan apa saja bentuk permasalahan yang lain, tampillah ke hadapan. Kita bincangkan bersama. Mudahan-mudahan gerak kerja dakwah kita sepanjang berada di negara bekas tampuk Komunis ini menjadikan kita lebih bersedia berhadapan dengan pelbagai lagi ragam penghalang yang setia mengintai peluang menjatuhkan panji-panji dan mata rantai perjuangan yang kita terima daripada Junjungan SAW.

(Al-Jumu'ah : 1-5) --> Rasulullah di utus dari golongan yang buta huruf dan jahil lalu menerangkan ayat-ayat Allah buat mereka tetapi mereka masih menolak kebenaran ini semua. Lalu Allah umpamakan mereka seperti keldai yang bodoh. Sedangkan kita semua jauh lebih baik situasinya berbanding mereka semua. Kita semua tidak buta huruf dan tidaklah terlalu jahil hina-dina. Maka seharusnya kita mesti mengelakkan diri kita diibaratkan seperti si keldai yang kebodohannya banyak kali diceritakan Allah di dalam Al-Quran.

Moga-moga suatu hari nanti, bilangan 50% ini berganda menjadi 100%. Kita nantikan proses pizza separuh penuh ini menjadi sempurna, Insya Allah.

Jangan kecewa. Jangan putus asa. Kita semua bergerak bersama-sama!

Ada Satu Wajah


Ada satu wajah
Yang selalu di ruang mata
Tetapi wajah itu terlalu jauh
Untuk kutatap selalu

Ada satu wajah
Sentiasa menjadi penyeri
Memenuhi lingkup imaginasi
Bersandarkan pada minda
Yang takkan tahu jawapan
Soalnya di mana dia

Ada satu wajah
Menjadi penggerak nadi
Bagai penyalur kuasa
Buat aku terus mencari
Terasa dia jauh
Tetapi dekat sekali di hati

Ada satu wajah
Yang takku tahu di mana dia
Masih kosong ruang jawapan
Namun aku bagai pengembara
Yang setia meneroka maya pada
Untuk mencari jawapan
Di mana dia
Wajah ilham hatiku
