Discover UUM 2016

I the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and Most Merciful. I this entry I would like to tell you about my beloved university, Universiti Utara Malaysia (Northern University of Malaysia). Year 2016 marks the prosperous year of Kedah, alongside with this university. The theme "Discover UUM 2016" is chosen for this purpose. The beginning phase of 2016 has made Universiti Utara Malaysia as the centre of attraction as this university gets more and more beautiful. The concept of "University in Green Forest" seems perfectly suited this university. The lush green forest of Sintok, The ostrich Farm, Deer Farm and the beautiful lake of Mas and Guthrie that can be found in here surely do described how close this university with the mother nature. The blooming Tacoma in this major campus also became the added value. I feel like I am in Korea instead of Malaysia. Here are some photos that surely won't be enough to describe the beauty of UUM.

Mimpi..peringatan buat hamba yang bernama aku..

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.. In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and the Most Merciful. In this entry I want to talk about the miracle of dreams that had changed my life forever. That keep on reminding me of not to be out of the line when I'm about to do so. Well, I am just a typical human being! Back to the dreams. I know that those dreams aren't supposed to be told to others kata beberapa org Ustaz. But I decided to tell to my fellow readers here because I want to let you know that there are lessons that we can learn behind those dreams. Well, I write here with just one purpose , to remind us that Allah is the Only One who control us, the Only One that control our souls, in charge of everything. And HE always merciful and kind to all HIS believers; by giving the words of reminders,warning for us when we are far away from him so that, we realized our mistake and get back to HIM.. ASAP. By posting this, I don't have any other intentions. I am not the attention seeker okay. I don't want anything from you! Bukan nak menunjuk. Bukan jugak nak bagi tahu yg aku konon2 ada satu kelebihan atau apa sahaja. Again... I just want to share my experiences in having those "reminder" dreams yg memang sedikit sebanyak mengubah diri aku untuk menjadi insan yg lebih baik. And, sekaligus, pengalaman ini akan menjadi satu ingatan dan pengajaran buat kita semua. Tu je. I am not Yusuff, the Prophet that gifted by Allah with the ability to translate the dreams. I am not like that. I am just a normal human being.Full of flaws. A sinner. Alkisahnya, years ago in my early 20, aku pernah bermimpi berada di suatu tempat like a room, have a white curtain or tabir. Di sebalik tabir tu ada bayang2 sesorang yang sedang sujud. I was right at the back, behind the thin white curtain of the person who is prostrating himself to Allah and I looked around and I found a golden gate, the gate of Prophet Muhammad's tombs and Masha Allah. I woke up. Terkejut and tertanya-tanya apa maksud or mesej yg tersirat disebalik mimpi tu. And, I never tell anybody about it until one day I told my grandpa. And he said maybe its a reminder for me to be a good follower to our beloved Prophet Muhammad S.A.W. Okay.

Then, in 2013 came the second dream. I dreamt of becoming a dead body or "jenazah" in the white shroud or "kain kafan" and there were three men dressed in white robe. One man at the right side of my head, one at right side of my waist and the other one at right side of my feet. The men were reciting Quranic verse particularly in Surah Al-Hasyr verse 20, translated "If We had caused this Qur'an to descend upon a mountain, thou (O Muhammad) verily hadst seen it humbled, rent asunder by the fear of Allah. Such similitudes coin We for mankind that haply they may reflect." And I woke up in fear as I am the one who have been in the white shroud..ready to be buried. I trembled. I cried. I tried to think what is the message behind of that dream and I then looked and examined every letters or "huruf" in that Surah. I really studied the meaning. And right after that, I found out that I had wrongly read one of the verse of the surah.I left one letter un-pronounce. And the dream was a reminder/warning or "teguran" for me to read that verse from the Holy al-Quran correctly. On December 7, 2014, I dreamt that I was in no where, laid, in white shroud,in the total darkness and I couldn't hear anything and the only word I manage to utter before I woke up is 'Izrael', the Angel of Death. Again, I was in fear. I cried. I trembled and I realized that I've committed too many sins. Byk buat dosa. Terlalu ikutkan perasaan, abaikan suruhan Allah, dekatkan diri dengan benda2 mengarut. But I thanked ALLAH for giving me those dreams. From that, I can do check-and-balance on my life. From that also I can improve myself, cuba untuk menjadi manusia yg kuat imannya untuk menepis segala godaan Syaitan yg sesat lagi menyesatkan. Muhasabah diri jadi tabiat aku sebelum tidur, maafkan orang yg pernah buat salah pada aku. Aku perlu ubah apa yang patut di ubah untuk jadi hamba yang betul2 taat pada ALLAH. And to me, through the dreams we can learn something. Mimpi yg ala2 scary and boleh timbulkan kesedaran macam tu la. Bukan mimpi yang mengarut-ngarut mcm mimpi pergi shopping, jumpa boyfriend atau jmpe artis. Penah ja aku mimpi jumpa artis bebgai. Penah jugak mimpi suweet2 tapi aku anggap tu mainan tidur or khayalan minda semata. So kesimpulannya, sebelum tidur amalkan adab tidur baginda Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. Berwuduk, baca ayat Kursi, 3 Qul dan doa tidur. Mana tau dapat mimpi hikmah or peringatan dari Allah. Memang ada Ulama dan ilmuan cakap mimpi tak boleh dipercayai dan mainan tidur, mimpi dari Syaitan dan banyak lagi. Tapi, bagi aku yg tak penuh ilmu di dada ni, still rasa mimpi kadang2 boleh jadi pengajaran buat kita. Again, tak dinafikan mimpi kadang2 mainan tidur. Boleh jadi satu helah Syaitan untuk sesatkan kita. Tapi tu la...kena tengok keadaan and jangan jumpa atau percayakan penilik or peramal mimpi. Don't ever do that! Begitulah kisahnya..my journey to the dreamland. The scary one. The beautiful one. The tak tahu nak cakap la..Yet the dreams really taught me. Mimpi-mimpi tu peringatan2 dari Allah buat hambaNya yang bernama aku.......
