sedarlah wahai diri

Allah turunkan musibah
supaya kita tahu
yang Dia rindukan rintihan kita

kadang kala
Allah bayar 'cash'
untuk kita tersentak
dan sedar kesilapan kita

manusia
sering kalah dengan nafsu sendiri
sering alpa tujuan hidup dicipta
sering leka dengan nikmat duniawi

kuatkan iltizam untuk berubah
biar tersungkur beribu kali
jangan mengalah dan bangkit semula

kerana itu adalah mujahadah
itu petanda azam yang kuat
untuk menjadi lebih baik
biar diiringi niat keranaNya

goyah

kadang-kadang selalu rasa
sebenarnya kita mudah goyah
diuji sikit, terus goyang
dapat musibah sikit, 
terus melenting

sampai kadang-kadang tu
kita tak sedar
kita terlupa
qada' dan qadar itu wujud
semua dah tertulis di Luh Mahfuz

cara kita terima
cara kita respon
itu yang perlu diperbetul

Allah dah ajar
kalau dalam kesukaran
bersabarlah dan solat
kembali pada Dia
dan Dia akan 'settle'kan yang lain

tapi
berapa ramai yang ikut?
berapa ramai yang kembali bila diuji?
berapa ramai yang makin ingat Tuhan?

After Hardship Comes Ease

We often heard this saying, especially in the 94th surah in the Quran, where a verse goes 'for indeed, with hardship [will be] ease', with the next verse saying, 'indeed, with hardship [will be] ease'. 

I think throughout my formative practicum phase so far, there was one incident that lead to this tiny part of improvement in me. 

**********

It was a relief class with 1 INI (shortform for the class name, Inisiatif). I never been to the class before, but quite often I heard teachers keep on mentioning them. Since the relief class was during the last two periods on a Friday late afternoon, so I guess you can imagine how it was. 

In general, the class was loud. Boys and girls seemed to be competing for the loudest voice award. Many times I had to shush and remind them to keep their voices low. I did not plan to do anything with them since some of the boys requested to do their Maths homework. But..... the rest were much more on chitchatting and goofing around. 

I stood in the middle of the class with a stern face, arms folded. I looked at every face in the classroom, but they seemed not to bother analysing my body language and happily making the class even more uncontrollable. I shouted at the top of my lungs. Some of them stopped talking but some others were still ignoring me. I yelled once again, this time I could feel a sensation in my throat and I could I hear my voice turned quite coarse. That was the first time I think I shouted that loud. Once everybody had their attention on me, I scolded them and asked them to get back to their seat and sit silently. Only lasted two minutes, literally. 

On the other hand, I managed to catch a few boys who went wandering around the class corridor during my relief period. They sneaked out without my permission (in which obviously I will disapprove even if they asked to get permission to wander). I gathered all of them at the back of the class. This time, I did not shout or scold them, but I asked them why they did it and let them ponder what kind of consequences they might get if anything happened to them while they were strolling. This kept them in till the end of the period. 

**********

Sometimes, you cannot beat a shout with a shout, because you will lose. Although they will obey you, deep down students will lose respect to teachers who always shout as it shows poor classroom management; the inability of teachers to take control of the class.



Oh yes, regarding to the second part of the saying, I have just had my second observation with my Cooperating Teacher recently. She commented that I have improved slightly on my voice projection, in which I think may be the result of the incident happened with 1 INI. 

Although this may seem just a small matter for some, it is a big step for me. Now I truly believe that in whatever difficulties we face in life, there will be some sort of rainbows or lights at the end of the tunnel. He will never place us in a situation we cannot handle.

melangkah lebih laju

Tibanya kita dimedan juang
mulakan langkah penuh yakin
dan melangkah dengan lebih laju

kini bukan masa mengeluh
mengaduh sakit tersadung jatuh
tapi kini masa mulakan pecutan
kerana umat perlukan penyelamat

sudahkan lama kita bertatih
kini masa tunjukkan aksi
bukan masanya menuding jari
tanpa kita, siapakah penggerak umat

Ayuh pemuda
gunakan masa mudamu
jangan disia tak menentu

usah berhenti menuntut ilmu

jangan disangka ilmumu tinggi melangit
kerana ilmuNya takkan pernah habis diteroka

jangan engkau riak dengan kefaqihan yang dinikmati
kerana bila-bila masa Dia boleh menariknya kembali

jangan pernah puas mencari redhaNya
kerana segalanya takkan pernah cukup

tuntutlah ilmu hingga ke liang lahad
kerana dengan ilmu kita selamat
dengan ilmu kita mampu berlindung
dari fitnah dajjal dan seantaranya

amalkannya dengan penuh yakin
ajarkanlah kepada yang lain
kerana dengan amalan itulah
mungkin menjadi asbab untuk ke syurgaNya
