Ghaflah
Lupa dan lalai dengan keindahan duniawi. Masa yang begitu berharga di sia-siakan sahaja, nanti kelak akan ditanya untuk apakah masa itu digunakan, untuk apakah kurniaan Illahi ini di bazirkan? Apakah jawapannya? Sedar tapi masih tetap melakukannya, kotorkah hati ini? Ya Allah, ampunkanlah aku, jadikan aku hari ini lebih baik dari semalam, dan hari2 esok lebih baik dari sebelumnya, ameen

2nd Spring in Christchurch
MasyaAllah, it is a beautiful spring in Christchurch. Magnolias, daffodils, cherry blossoms sprung everywhere, and a sunny warm weather today makes it even more beautiful.
I am reading another book by Dr Amr Khaled on how to attain makrifatuLlah, it can be achieved by appreciating our surrrounding, Allah's creation...kitabullah almandzur...
Ya Allah, help me to be near to you, help me to love you and your rasul more than anyone else, guide me, Ya Allah....

Update
I have been busy catching up with endless data entering for a study. How much I need to catch up, alhamdulillah hubby is willing to help....MasyaAllah...in between those data entering, I received a piece of a very good news, syukur alhamdulillah one of a major piece of our research paper has been accepted for publication without further revision....Ya Allah, praise be with you.....I am blessed with all the good tidings that you have bestowed upon us. We hope with all this blessing, we will further strive to become a better mu'min and mu'minah, ameen....help us to better ourselves.
MasyaAllah again, the previous competition I entered (although I did not win) end up well. Alhamdulillah I am able to deliver the best that I could, and alhamdulillah again, I received a good review from the judges....I sincerely wanted to share the good news with my colleagues, in the hope it will also become an inspiration to them.....forgive me Ya Allah, if there is a speck of riya' in this, forgive me....Ya Allah.....

Here and there, now and then
It's Ramadhan month again.......alhamdulillah I have the opportunity to meet Ramadhan again, with the aim insyaALlah to become a better person, better abid, better muslimah....ameen
On the first of Ramadhan itself, I had been bestowed with rahmah from Allah swt...the unexpected gift, that could possibly increase my self confidence, but hopefully not to the extent of riya'. Unexpectedly against the other 12 contestants, I have been blessed as the winner of our campus heat in the 3-min thesis competition. It was unexpected but a welcome gift. It certainly helps my injured/scarred self confidence, and hopefully heal my self doubt. My main supporter i.e my co-SV is happy, and I am happy to be able to make him happy, at least it is something in return for all the help he has given me, including editing the content of my presentation in this competition. I remember being afraid of stumbling myself to the chagrin of him infront of others, and my prayer has been answered in this blessed Ramadhan, but I did not pray to win, it is an added bonus, but also a small ujian to test whether I will be riya' etc. I received congratulations from many, including some prominent persons in the campus, and the postgraduate office. Alhamdulillah, I am happy to show to them that as a muslimah (in a veil) I am still able to deliver...........
Just to share the email from my co-SV to the other SVs and colleagues....."Congratulations Azrina, conquerer of the 3 minute thesis competition. Today, in the face of a daunting array of opponents and in front of a full house, Azrina won the University of Otago Christchurch 3 minute thesis competition. She was superb - with only a little help from Drs Suess and Bob the Builder she communicated what her thesis was about and why she was doing it. She'll now get the chance to take that story to Dunedin. Well done Azrina." Now the challenge of competing in a bigger auditorium, with more competent contesters, and possibly on the first Eid, away from family in Dunedin....I do not aim to win, but just to deliver, and prove that being a Muslim, we can deliver the best, ameen, only with Your help Allah, I can do this, and I seek forgiveness if there is a speck of riya' in this, forgive me, Ya Allah...
