Alhamdulillah! All praises to Allah swt and I hereby declare the perfection of Allah, The Authority, The Merciful. Recently Alhamdulillah I was one amongst the luckiest 500 students, with almost 1000ppl on the waiting list, from what I heard, that came from different part of the world – FR, UK, US, OZ, SG, JPN, SAUDI, PHILIPINE, BANGLADESHI, PAKISTANI, SOMALI, AND EVEN FROM THE TAJIKISTAN & UZBEKHISTAN (at least I got to blow away my just-beginning-to-be-dusty-russian-language-shelf from the back of my brain! Oh lord, it’s not yet a month in Malaysia and already I am forgetting ruski yizik!) MasyaAllah! Quran Intensive (QI) course that was held for approximately a month at Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan.

PART 2 : THE SLIT-NARROW CHANCES & THE UNSEEN BEAUTIFUL FATE - IF YOU JUST HAVE FAITH

-"Mom, Z( one of my childhood bffs) is in the UK right now doing her practical." i told my mom about a year ago.

-"Well, if she can, so do you. You've done your practicals both in Russia and Malaysia already, so how about experiencing new system now for your last elective as a student. Of course i will try to support you financially but not with the documentations and the processes, if you really want, you have to do it yourself." My mom was foreseeing the benefits for me at her best.

I clearly remember it wasn't an easy one, but not impossible. Bookmarked about 6 to 7 hospitals, crossed 3 because of closed datelines(it was 9 months prior practical) and emailed the remaining 4. Negative responses from 2 and 1 delayed reply. And finally the one and only positive fast reply was from School of Medicine belongs to Sheffield University. No other choices as i couldn't afford to pay the registration fee to enroll in the big well-organized student exchange program where they will basically take care of everything.

Every nation is the crack on the wall

أَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّـيْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْمِ
Bismillah ir-rahman ir-rahim.

Assalamualaikum wbt

Nation, in the arabic language shu'uban, came from the word sha'ab, means denture or crack in the wall  or imperfection. It is yet a very beautiful way to describe that there is no nation exist that is 100% perfect. Every nation has some good qualities as well as some corks. Thus, nation has to get to know each other so that they learn each others' strength. Because one nation's strength is another nation's weakness.

Senior doctor : So intern A, tell me how will you treat a patient with this condition?

Intern A : Err.. fluid therapy.

Senior doctor : Foolish!!! Have you read the clinical practice guideline ( cpg )?

Intern A : I have not doctor. I am sorry.

Senior doctor : So with your little knowledge, you think your treatment is truer and better than what is in the cpg, in which scientists and doctors made years and years of clinical trials, researches and evidence-based medicine?! If you don't know the guideline, you are considered as not fit to treat a patient! How about you intern B, how would you treat this patient with such condition?

Title of the book : Salahudin Ayubi Penakluk Jerusalem
Genre : Narrative Islamic History.
Year of publish : 2007

May Allah.swt grant the writer jannah : Abdul Latip Talib

Review : A good book to read. Rating 4/5. The writer has made the unbearable long details of every battle, to become a simple yet, precise and with crystal clear time frame of the events from first crusade war ( 1099 ) to the second crusade war( 1187 ) in Jerusalem under the leadership of Sultan Salahudin Ayubi, a warrior from Kurdish tribe with the spirit of a lion. The two obvious lessons that i gained from this book are the strong faith and personality of the Sultan and the strategies of Rasulullah in the battle field.

PART 1 : INTRODUCTION, THE PEOPLE IN A DAY.

Side note : For the time being, all the posts under this label will be dedicated for the cities in which, the writer got the chance to stay longer than a week and is not meant to be filled with complete details of the town's structures, histories and informations ( as you can easily google everything nowdays ), it rather will be narrated more like a short story for fellow readers to sit back and enjoy what it is like to be in the writer's shoes, making new friendships and experiences. Thank you.

As i was catching my breath carrying a blue backpack, weighing about 17 kilograms, walking uphill towards the direction of the town from where the Sheffield National Express Coach Station is, i saw this man in his 30s. He was there sitting on a bench, looking from left to right vigorously at an extremely fast gaze while every 5 seconds he looked down and jotted down something in the notepad

Review : SubhanaAllah a life-changing, must read book for everyone, 5/5 rating! MasyaAllah, this book has definitely changed my point of view in life!

In this book, the writer explains about the nature ( or sunatullah, the Arabic word Sunnah, in its literal sense means habitual practice, customary procedure or norm ) of the human heart, who has the nature of wanting to attach to something. 
It is when the heart attaches to something that is not eternal and changeable, it has the risk of getting heartbreaks, disappointment followed by anger, to feel the pain of sadness and hopeless for future, whenever that something has gone or changed. Be it either money, fame, status, work, spouse, siblings, children, friends, house, lifestyle, knowledge or health, will have their own time limit in our life.

Among the first strong vivid memories i had when i was a child was actually my 5th birthday cake, it was a medium size white creamed butter cake bought from the shop, decorated with colourful jellies on top of it and fancy chocolate rice on the side and a cheerful voice singing so loudly and happily, that as if you can almost feel it with hands. "Happy Birthday to you, Adik!". It was my mother, my favourite person since the begining of my existance. I actually could not recall her face in detail, but i do brought the memories of us to all my restless nights, deep down, i just knew i once, had a mother.

Review : MasyaAllah, a very excellent book that deserves 5/5 and definately a must read for everyone! 

In this book, the writer tells us about the beautiful stories of the unbreakable true friendships, i would rather call it brotherhoods, built with warm-hearted turkish friends of different ages and backgrounds, that are bonded nonetheless, under the same belief that they would live upon and die with-La ilaha illAllah, Muhammadur rasulullah, there is no gods except God, and Muhammad is the messenger of God. As a frequent visitor ( 20 times, from 1995-2002 ) to Turkey, he witnessed with his own eyes the political paradigmal shift that had cost the nation, that was once ruled 2/3 of this world, to lose grab of its own grandiose Ottoman legacy.

Ladies, guess what, today its all about that precious tiara crown on your head! Long, short, curly, wavy, straight, black, brown,thick,thin, everything works fine as long as they are at their best state : shiney, nicely flowy, silk smooth, smells like a rosy garden and balancely mosturized! Up until today, if you don't get any compliment about how beautiful your hair is, then sorry but not sorry, you should know that something must be wrong and surely the good news, there is always room for improvement. After all, my mother always tells me, "one is not born a women, one learns to become one"! oh yeah it hits me right on the face! ahaks, finished ranting, now lets get started already, shall we?!

'First thing first' of a first post in a first blog

أَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّـيْطٰنِ الرَّجِيْمِ
Bismillah ir-rahman ir-rahim.
Assalamualaikum wbt,

First of all, i would like to declare that all the goodness in this blog is none other than Allah swt's ilham(He who inspires) and ihsan through me and all the future weaknesses and mistakes are nonetheless, from my own limited knowledge. Please feel free to correct me. InsyaAllah.

Secondly, the writer has no intention to make this blog as an educational purpose, its rather just as an act of reminder, firstly for myself, perhaps an inspiration to fellow thinkers who take time to ponder far deeper things than life itself and a piece of remembrance of God's teaching her with tears shedding lessons and heart blooming blessings, and last but not least, hopefully for my family, my future descendants (insyaAllah) and whoever related to me, sometimes people just die before they get to tell their stories. My hope and expectation is that my stories even not doing much, at least brings a little benefits to them, like the heap of stories Allah swt told us in the Holy Quran which brings us closer to Him. Ameen, insyaAllah.

Finally, please offer good du'as for Allah's guidance, forgiveness, blessings, mercy and protections towards all of us at all time., stay together.

Writing with respect,
TianaAsSamad.
