Assalamu'alaikum, hairi fatimah
I’ve been receiving quite a few queries about the morning routine and the stuff we e-mailed you
about in the past 4 weeks, here are the top questions and answers:

1. How many hours should you sleep?

 The answer seems to be the intention of sleep; if you’re sleeping for dunya (that is to be completely relaxed at work, home, family and to have a long healthy life), then sleeping would be very important to you and you would ensure that you sleep a minimum of 6-8 hours each night. However, if you’re sleeping for akhirah, or sleeping for the sake of Allah (Subhanahu Wa Ta’ala), you’ll be sleeping just enough to give your due right to your body whilst not neglecting the fact that you’re here in this world for a temporary period and you’ll soon return to your Lord. You would try to minimize your sleep so that it doesn’t affect your worship.Having said that, I would like to emphasize that giving due right to your body is part of the concept of sleeping for akhirah.

2. How do I stay up after fajr?

The time right after Fajr prayers is a blessed time that Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) made dua for, He said: “O Allah, bless my Ummah in its early hours”.

Here are 2 ways to help you stay up after Fajr to become a beneficiary of blessings and success insha’Allah:

  1. Go to bed early and rest
    After the Isha prayer, the Prophet (Peace and blessings be upon him) would not like to engage in unnecessary talk and would take to his house to go to sleep.
  2. Recite/reflect/memorize Quran
    After Fajr prayer is an amazing time to be alone with the Quran. Before the day’s distractions set you off course, use this time to recite, reflect and memorize The Quran.

How can I free your doubtful mind

Dulu, waktu di tingkatan dua, sekali dalam sebulan pengetua akan masuk ke kelas kami menggantikan guru pendidikan Islam. Itu adalah peluang bagi pengetua mendekati kami para pelajar. Nak dijadikan cerita, suatu hari, pengetua masuk ke kelas kami. Pengetua memberi salam.  "Assalamualaikum" Maka kami menyambut salam pengetua dengan ucapan "Waalaikumussalam warahmatullah hi wabarakatuh" Seorang pelajar putera mengetuai bacaan doa. Setelah tamat, kami beramai-ramai mengaminkan doa. Mata pengetua saya lihat tertumpu di muka saya. Mungkin sebab meja saya betul betul sebaris dengan meja guru, tak ada apa apa kot. Setelah semua pelajar duduk, pengetua bersuara.  "Kamu yang di belakang tu, bangun!"  Semua pelajar kelas saya ramai-ramai menoleh ke belakang mencari siapa yang pengetua maksudkan. Saya menunjuk diri . Saya ke? "Ya, kamu, berdiri!" Saya bangun, muka terasa panas,mungkin juga merah, saya juga tidak tahu.

great lost

Meeting my old smart brilliant high school friend at my friend's wedding today..never that I know  she elegantly quit being a houseman.. suprisingly.. I am not shocked with her decision....but I do admire her..she told me about that with a great smile I had ever seen.. it so sincere plus her happiness shining through her eyes.. she's made a great and cool decision that I never think that I will ever had the same courage to do the same things if I was in her position. On the other hand...one of my senior are leaving us today and I admit that I am sad.. this person I do admire so much.such a role model. I do meet so many good people but nobody can challange  him in many aspect.. I do learn a lot from him.. Last but not least....

Demam

Bila jadi houseman ni, demam pun rasa bersalah.Tapi demam tu datang juga tanpa rasa bersalah, nak buat lagu mana kan.... Kadang-kadang, saya sedar yang saya dalam beberapa perkara tidak meletakkan sesuatu pada tempatnya.. zalim ke macam tu? mungkin, ya, mungkin jugak tidak.. cumanya, pada saat perkara tersebut terjadi saya tidak sedar sampaila tak lama kemudian terdetik dalam hati, kenapala aku buat macam tu, kenapala, kenapala..tapi dah buat kan... how i wish i can roll back time and be more ****..... I want to move on now... despite all my weakness , my inabilities, my limits, my discouragement , lack of confident, i believe in myself that i can go through this. i really love doing this! its actually my actual feeling but its deteriorating over time. how come i'am weakening so fast? till then..
