Five Most lovely deeds to Allah أحب خمسة أعمالٍ إلى الله عز و جل

قال رسول الله صلي الله عليه وسلم

أحبُّ الأعمال إلى الله عز وجل سرور تدخله على مسلم، أو تكشف عنه كربة، أو تقضي عنه دينا، أو تطرد عنه جوعا، ولئن أمشي مع أخي في حاجة أحب إلي من أن اعتكف في هذا المسجد شهر

The prophet Mohammad have told us:

" The most lovely deeds (We do) to Allah; a happiness you make for muslim brother/sister, or resolve a problem of his/her, or Pay a loan of his/her, or take his/her hunger away (feed him/her), and if I walk with my brother/sister helping him/her in doing something, it would be more lovely for me than if I stay do "I'TIKAF" in this Masjid for a month."

So Bani Adam, Let's Do these five deeds always.

ثمان أعجبتني

ثمان أعجبتني Eight I liked to Share

الأولى First

أني نظرت إلى الخلق فرأيت كل واحد يحب محبوبا فإذا ذهب إلى القبر فارقه محبوبة

فجعلت الحسنات محبوبي فإذا دخلت القبر دخلت معي .
I have looked to people so I saw each of them loves a lover, whenever that person dies and enters the grave, his lover would leave him. So I let My Good deeds to be those I love as they are the only ones who will stay with me after death.

الثانية Second
أني نظرت إلى قول الله تعالى:
{ وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَىٰ *
فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَىٰ } .( النازعات 40 , 41)
فأجهدت نفسي في دفع الهوى حتى استقرت علي طاعة الله
I have looked to the Saying of Allah in Qura'an in Surat Al-Nazi'at:
{But as for him who feared to stand before his Lord and restrained his soul from lust, (40) Lo! the Garden will be his home. (41)a}
So I worked hard to push the badness away from my soul till it got used to obey Allah.

الثالثة Third
أني نظرت إلى هذا الخلق فرأيت أن كل من معه شيء له قيمة
حفظه حتى لا يضيع فنظرت إلى قول الله تعالى:
{ مَا عِندَكُمْ يَنفَدُ وَمَا عِندَ اللَّـهِ بَاقٍ َ} ﴿النحل: ٩٦﴾ "
فكلما وقع في يدي شيء ذو قيمة وجهته لله ليحفظه عنده .
I have looked to those people so I saw each of them has some thing of a very high value, saving and protect it, afraid that he would lose it. then i have looked to the Saying Of Allah in Qur'an in Surat Al-Nahl:
{That which ye have wasteth away, and that which Allah hath remaineth. And verily We shall pay those who are steadfast a recompense in proportion to the best of what they used to do. (96)a}
So each time I get something valuable, I ٍsubmit it to Allah to keep it safe with him.

الرابعة Forth
أني نظرت إلى الخلق فرأيت كل يتباهى بماله أو حسبه أو نسبه
ثم نظرت إلى قول الله تعالى: "
{ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ اللَّـهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ } .﴿الحجرات: ١٣﴾
" فعملت في التقوى حتى أكون عند الله كريما .
I have looked to the people and have found that each of them is boasting of his money, or his family reputation, then I have looked to the saying of Allah in Qur'an in Surat Al-Hujurat (13):
{The Kindest of you, in the sight of Allah, is the best in conduct.}a
So I have worked to gain TAQWA so May Allah considers me Kind.

الخامسة Fifth
أني نظرت في الخلق وهم يطعن بعضهم في بعض ويلعن بعضهم بعضا

وأصل هذا كله الحسد ثم نظرت إلى قول الله عز وجل: "
{ نَحْنُ قَسَمْنَا بَيْنَهُم مَّعِيشَتَهُمْ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا } ﴿الزخرف: ٣٢﴾
" فتركت الحسد واجتنبت الناس وعلمت أن القسمة من عند الله
فتركت الحسد عني
I have looked to People, found that each of them stabs the other, curse each other, and mainly all that came from the envy toward others. Then I looked to what Allah has told us in Qur'an in Surat Al-Zakhraf (32):
{We have apportioned among them their livelihood in the life of the world.}a
So I knew that the envy is pointless, and Allah sends RIZIK to anyone at anytime Allah wants. So i stopped envying people for what they got.

السادسة Sixth
أني نظرت إلى الخلق يعادي بعضهم بعضا ويبغي بعضهم على بعض

ويقاتل بعضهم بعضا ونظرت إلى قول الله عز وجل:
{ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَدُوًّا} ﴿فاطر: ٦﴾
" فتركت عداوة الخلق وتفرغت لعداوة الشيطان وحده .
I have looked to the people to find that they antagonize and fight each other. When I looked to the verse in Qur'an in Surat Fatir:a
{He only summoneth his faction to be owners of the flaming Fire. (6).}a
So I left antagonizing my brothers from Adam and focused on antagonizing and fighting Al-Shaitan.

السابعة Seventh
أني نظرت إلى الخلق فرأيت كل واحد منهم يكابد نفسه ويذلها في طلب الرزق حتى أنه قد يدخل فيما لا يحل له
ونظرت إلى قول الله عز وجل: "
{ وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّـهِ رِزْقُهَا } .﴿هود: ٦﴾
" فعلمت أني واحد من هذه الدواب فاشتغلت بما لله علي
وتركت ما لي عنده .
I have looked to people so i found that each of them fighting the life to get money and some of them sell their honer for the sake of money. then I saw the verse from Qur'an in Surat Hood:a
{And there is not a beast in the earth but the sustenance thereof dependeth on Allah. }a

الثامنة Eight'th
أني نظرت إلى الخلق فرأيت كل مخلوق منهم متوكل على مخلوق مثله، هذا على ماله وهذا على ضيعته

وهذا على صحته وهذا على مركزه . ونظرت إلى قول الله تعالى: "
{ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّـهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ } .﴿الطلاق: ٣﴾
" فتركت التوكل على الخلق واجتهدت في التوكل على الله

Then I looked to the people when I found that each of them Depends on the other to do their duties, or depends on others money to survive. Then I read in Qur'an in Surat Al-Talaq (3):a
{And whosoever putteth his trust in Allah, He will suffice him.}a
So I left depending one others of my equivalents, and worked hard to depend on Allah as he is the only one who would send the RIZIK and the only one who would really help when needed.

My Story with Najmin

____________________________ ________________

In Ramadhan 1430, While I was working on my project at IT department (UTP) for my Masters Degree, My Thai colleague "Sureena" asked my permission to let her room mate to use my Desktop PC because her Laptop was stolen while she was shopping at Tesco. So I agreed as I'm not using the Desktop. That was when and where I met Tootoo...Ooo...I mean Najmin.

.

After two weeks, I have proposed to Najmin through Sureena. Then we have arranged a day to meet Najmin's Mother and sister at Jusco/Ipoh, and that was the first time for me to eat at Johny's Restaurant. another day has been arranged to meet Najmin's Father at the house in Ipoh.
Before meeting Najmin's father, I was very worry and shaking, kind of afraid. Then when we met up, He was very friendly and made it very easy for me by talking as man to man and friend to friend... Al-Hamdo Lillah.
Only at that day, Me and Najmin got the blessings and agreement of her parents on our marriage, Al-Hamdo Lillah. By the way, on the same day after I left Najmin's house with the permission from Najmin's father to marry Najmin, I was very happy that is why I got captured on Police road cameras when I missed a Red Traffic Light and got fined RM300...Hehehe... Al-Hamdo Lillah for that as it was like a reminder to behave.

.

The 14'th of December 2008, that was the day of our official engagement when me, my mother and friends went to Najmin's house in Ipoh to Officially propose Najmin and announce our Engagement.
My father, could not come to represent me for some reason, so i have asked Ustath Nuri (Lecturer at UTP) to be my side representative.
That day I was very very very nervous, I really did not and still do not know why!! If you see the engagement pictures, then you would know how nervous I was when you see how I raised my hands while doing Doaa'...Hehehe.
Al-Hamdo Lillah, everything went as supposed to be, even though, our side, did not understand anything because the representatives were talking using Malay language...hehehe.

31'st of July 2009, that day was very difficult for me. It was writing the marriage contract. That was not the reason why that day was difficult. That day was Friday, our planned time to write the contract was around 5:00PM after Salat Asr at Majid Al-Nur in UTP. During Salat Al-Jumaat on that day, UTP administration announced that at 3:00PM UTP will be closed, NO ONE ENTERS - NO ONE OUT from UTP to prevent H1N1 to be spread more among people. So, from 2:00PM till around 4:20PM I was moving fast like a rooster from Security to Chanceler Complex then back to security asking them to let us come into UTP at 5:00PM to write the marriage contract. Some of them said "NO CAN NOT!!!" others suggest "No need to enter UTP, Just get married at the UTP gate, very romantic!!!"..hahaha... so i got very tenssion with UTP, then I said, If they did not let me get married inside the masjid as planned, I will never stay in UTP. Then did some calls with the administration staff, finally Al-Hamdo Lillah they let us Enter and write our Akid Qiran.

Early morning of the next day I have started preparing myself to start a new life with the woman I loved, that was our wedding day.
Everything was ready at that day, and just waiting for the wedding time to come, but only one thing has appeared to not be really ready!
Anyway, two or three hours before the wedding I went to the wedding shop named "Aida" which supposed to prepare my wedding suite. So happily I have started wearing it when I have discovered that the suite sleeve, right side was not even attached to the suite!!!! I was laughing and worry at the same time. The person at the shop asked me to not worry as he is going to call the tailor which was on holiday at that day. he tried to call him many times but in vein, no reply. At that moment I have started getting angry. He tried many times till he got him on phone and asked him to come urgently to solve my problem and he did and Al-hamdo Lillah He finisihed sewing the sleeve just around 45 minutes before the wedding. Quickly, they dressed me and puty me te in the car of Hazli (My Friend ^_-) and we moved to the Mobile Petrol station, the place where suppoed to meet all of my friends so we move together toward my bride's house. But, there was an expected problem, one of my friends named "Ahmed" have lost his way so he got very very late as usual. Anyway, We have moved to Najmin's house without Ahmed.
.
Finally, we have reached to the wedding place waiting for My bride to come out from home to take me in (according to the Malay Culture). Al-Hamdo Lillah she did not let me wait long time till she appeared with her sister (Nurul Ashikin) and her eldest brother (Ahmed Firdaus) and walked me into the house. Leading us, a group of children carrying Kompang (Hand Drums) to do the Malaysian traditional Wedding Music, and that they have screwed up, but it was fun...haha.


Oh.. and I have just remembered, During we were walking into the house, the DJ turned on Nashid "Tala'a Al-Badro Alaina' طلع البدر علينا".
Talking about the DJ, he (Pakcik Saleh) was the husband of Najmin's Aunt (Makcik Lung). Me and Najmin, have prepared 4 CDs of mixed Arabic and Malaysian songs and Nasids and gave to Pakcik Saleh to turn on during the wedding. Pakcik Saleh have turned one or two CDs then he put his own songs, that he got from Somewhere or someone else. One of those songs he turned on was an Arabic Song for the Singer named "Umm Kalthum أم كلثوم", The song's title was "Love and Drunk People حب و سكارى". So you can imagine how the song is, but Al-Hamdo Lillah Most of the Guests were Malaysians so they did not understand what was going on...hahaha. Two of my friends "Ali and Mudhar" went to Pakcik Saleh and asked him to change the song and that he did. :)

One of the nicest things in our wedding was the 3-Layers Chocolate Cake topped with mixed fruits which was made by Makcik ina (Najmin's Uncle Pakcik D's Wife).
It was the time for cake cutting, when me and my bride were called to walk toward the cake to cut. At that moment I was very happy that I will eat the biggest piece of that delicious looking cake. So while we are cutting the cake, My hand wants to cut a big piece while my wife pushes my hand so the knife cuts a small piece. Anyway, at the end she won and we cut a small piece. Then we have to feed each other. While I'm taking the piece to feed Najmin, Najmin looked to the piece of cake and she found a strawberry that she wants, so she kept whispering saying: "I want the strawberry.. I want the strawberry.. I want the strawberry..".. hahaha.. So my hand was very kind and took the strawberry piece with a big amount of chocolate cake and fed her.
Then, It was her turn to feed me by her hand. So, she took a very very very very very very small piece of cake that I do not need to open my mouth to eat it, and fed me with. and Wa Allah that was the only piece of cake I got have ever tasted from my 3-Layers wedding cake. and till this moment I can not forget my wedding cake.



I would like to end this article by very special thanks to all those who have participated in the wedding preparations and those who have supported me to have my beautiful wife Najmin... O.. By the way, her name at home is Tootoo, at least this is how I call her...hahaha.

Al-Hamdo Lillah for his kind Rizik.

Please, do not ask me why did I have a picture with this nice slipper, but I just liked the idea of having such a thing with such a size which somehow gives the impression that it belongs to the prophet Adam or Noh people. By the way, I do not think those people got slippers at their time... at least not this brand!! hahahaha..

One of my favorite Malaysian deserts named "DODOL", and that what I helped to cook for 12 seconds (you know just for the picture - Like polititions).
