A Small Book Shop

bismillah

whilst studying for my final med exam, i got an idea to set up a book shop when i go home after graduation insyaallah.

building's concept

if possible i want to build a small shop made from glass just in front of my house. the building will more or less look like this one



the reason i want it to made from glass is so that people can see from outside that the building contains a lot of books and they will be attracted to come and visit as it will be a very unique feature. furthermore, i assume the cost would be less if it is made from glass only. the situation is in front of the masjid so that people can visit my shop and if they hear the azan they can go to perform the prayers five times a day. they can also visit my shop after the prayers. in the building i will put a few sofas so that people can come and read the book at my shop just like what popular book shop did in their stores. therefore my shop will be a library at the same time. oh and lastly, i will make sure that there are parking spaces available for the customers.

books supply

regarding the supplies of book, i am considering to import books from indonesia as my brother said that indonesia are very prolific in translating books from other languages especially arabics. malay's books as a start, in the future, books in other languages especially english and arabic will be added.

promotion

i will try to ask someone famous eg tok guru nik aziz to come for opening ceremony of my shop. in addition of that, i will organize a talk regarding the importance of reading in our life. i will advertise my shop in a local newspaper and go to every kuliah to promote my shop.

other incomes

i will consider to do a photocopy business by taking contracts from schools nearby as a side income to sustain my bookshop

reason

the reason to open a book shop is to serve the local community. i want to make sure that our society is a society that is full with knowledge. i addition to that is for sure as an income for me as well.

bazli

Gentarasa

diri ini ingin sekali berlari kepada tuhan,
tapi pasti setiap kali aku akan rebah,
rebah di jalan ini,
ya Allah ampunkanlah aku,
lantas aku bangkit kembali,
meneruskan perjalanan menuju redha ilahi
di dalam perjalanan,
aku pasti terpedaya dengan jalan-jalan kecil yang menyimpang,
lantas aku tersedar kemudian aku berpatah balik,
cuba mencari jalan yang lurus kembali kepada ilahi,
dan kitaran itu terus berlaku,
hingga aku merasa malu,
malu kepada sang pencipta,
malu untuk ke sekian kalinya mengucapkan,
Ya Allah, ampunkanlah aku,
di dalam hati aku percaya Allah itu maha pengampun,
tapi sifat hati ini yang sentiasa bermain-main,
menghalang aku untuk terus gagah berlari kepada tuhan...

Iman itu sifatnya bertambah dan berkurang

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Aku mulakan bicara kata dengan ungkapan yang sangat selalu diungkap oleh ramai orang termasuk diri ini; Al-eeman yazidun wa yankus (iman itu bertambah dan berkurang). sangat tepat sekali kat-kata tersebut. Tidak dapat dipastikan samada kata-kata itu merupakan hadith ataupun athar atupun hanyalah satu ungkapan kata-kata hukama'. Disini aku tidak ingin membicarakan tentang kesahihan kata-kata tersebut kerana aku bukanlah orang yang selayaknya. Tetapi jika diperhatikan maknanya sangat benar sekali pada pandangan aku yang lemah ini.

Ada kalanya iman manusia itu berada di tahap yang sangat tinggi, ada kalanya iman itu jatuh merudum sehinggakan susah untuk dia bertahan dengan godaan dunia. terdapat satu hadith yang diriwayatkan oleh Ibnu Umar. Beliau pernah bertanya Rasulullah mengenai iman. “Adakah iman itu boleh bertambah dan boleh berkurang?” Jawab Baginda saw: “ Ya, iman seseorang itu boleh bertambah hingga (akhirnya) ia masuk ke dalam syurga dan (iman juga boleh) berkurang sehingga seseorang itu (akhirnya) masuk ke dalam neraka.”

Tazkirah daripada sheikh saleem

in the name of Allah,the most gracious, the most merciful.Sheikh commenced his reminder with a story from bai'atul ridhwan. the bai'ah was taken place under a tree after rasulullah and his companions heard the news that uthman had been killed by the kuffar. thereafter, they have promised with their soul that they will take revenge after the assassination of uthman. The prophet of Allah at that time informed the companions that all of them will directly enter the paradise. Habsah, one of the prophets wives, heard the words from our beloved prophet and then she asked him that why the prophet saying was not incongruent with one of the verses in Al-quran. The verse that habsah referring to was a verse that says every human being will go through hellfire before they enter paradise. Listening to the question of habsah, rasulullah explained about the concept of sirat whereby the believers will pass the 'bridge' easily while the non-believers will slip down into the hellfire.

the second story sheikh mention was about aisyah. Once ibnu umar narrated that he heard the prophet was talking with the dead people. however, aisyah when he think of that narration, refuse to accept the words of ibnu umar. she was not rejecting the act of the prophet, but she assumed that there are probability that ibnu umar misheard the prophets action. this is because, according to sheikh saleem, there are verses in the quran stating that the dead men no longer has any connections with this worldly life.

from these stories, sheikh brought up the point that human being need not to follow anyone without any evidence or proof. In the holy quran, allah has urged human kind in quite a good number of verses to think about everything, starting from ourselves, to the larger creation of Allah. we should not merely following others without thinking ad trying to rationalized it.

another important point why the companions were amazing back at their time up to now, is because rasulullah managed to build their personality. what is it personality?i was wondering when i heard the tazkirah back in the masjid. according to Oxford dictionary personality is the combination of characteristics and qualities that form an individual's distinctive character. there you go! rasulullah had brilliantly succeeded in developing his companions' characters leading them to be the best human being ever walked in this earth. i quoted this statement from asraf's facebook'

'Never let people decide who you need to be with and who you want to be with, dont let seniors control you by creating a comfort zone for you, pampering you, you have to find your own personality, self discovery is key element in growing up'

why you do not try to rationalize it..

and allah is the best knower...

Characteristics of the people of jannah

alhamduillah praise be to Allah because today i had a chance to watch this very meaningful video by ustaz nouman ali khan in the midst of pathology revision. I never heard of his sermon before this. i came across his first video about 'ISLAM and EGO' a couple of days ago after my friend give the link for the video. However i'm not going to write about that video. i'm going to talk about this particular video; characteristics of the people of jannah (heaven). He quoted verses 133-136 from surah ali imran. in those particular verses, Allah describes the people of jannah as

1.They give sadaqah(charity) when they are in ease or hard
2.They hold their anger by swallowing it
3.They forgive others and pray for their forgiveness
4.They ask for Allah's forgiveness when they do fahisyah (shameless deeds) and when they do unjust deeds to themselves. They will not knowingly repeat their sin. This is a remind for myself. I'm just a slave who always go astray. mMay Allah guide my path. ameen ya rabbal 'alamin.

BERCAKAP YANG HAQ ATAU DIAM

May Allah guides my words

Alhamdulillah, hari ini Allah berikan peluang kepada saya untuk duduk berbicara dengan seorang sahabat. Dalam dua jam kami berbicara tentang pelbagai isu. Sahabat saya lebih banyak diam daripada bercakap sebab katanya belum cukup ilmu. jadi yang banyak berbicara hanyalah daripada pihak saya yang penuh dengan kekurangan ini.

Pada pendapat saya,perkara yang hendak dibicarakan itu cukup penting.Tenatang halatuju sebuah perjuangan, kepentingan dan apa keutamaannya. Isunya isu yang lama tapi ia perlu disegarkan dengan sebuah pemahaman yang jitu dan mapan.pemahaman yang memerlukan kita turun ke medan yang sebenar dan tidak hanya berlegar-legar disekitar teori yang indah semuanya. Tapi dipihak yang bercakap pun tidak ada yang lebihnya, masih lagi dalam proses mencari kebenaran. mecari-cari mengapa dan kemana??

ketika berbicara dengan sahabat, terkeluarlah perkara-perkara yang tidak sepatutnya terkeluar daripada seorang yang cuba untuk mengejar syaksiah rabbaniah. tidak lama selepas kami habis berbicara, saya termenung sendirian. berfikir mengapa saya telah diucapkan perkataan yang tidak sepatutnya diucapkan. termenung seketika betapa mudahnya mengucapkan kata-kata yang mungkin mengguris hati seorang sahabat. ketika termenung itu teringat satu hadis yang diriwayatkan oleh nabi s.a.w yang dihimpunkan oleh imam annawawi didalam matan arba'in.

Hadis Kelimabelas:

Dari Abu Hurairah r.a, bahawasanya Rasulullah SAW bersabda : ” Barangsiapa beriman kepada Allah dan Hari Akhirat, hendaklah berkata yang baik atau berdiam diri. Dan barangsiapa yang beriman kepada Allah dan Hari Akhirat, hendaklah berbuat baik kepada jiran tetangganya. Dan barangsiapa yang beriman kepada Allah dan Hari Akhirat, hendaklah menghormati tetamunya. “
(riwayat bukhari dan muslim)


wahai jiwa yang tenang, berkatalah yang baik atau diam.
