Perempuan by Ustazah Halimah al Aydrus

I've listen to this poem for a few times on IKIMfm and it always get my full attention, to listen words by words. I'm not a fan of poetry, but I just love this one.

Maybe simply because I am a Perempuan.

Dedicating this to all the ladies out there.

********************

Perempuan

Duhai..

Siapakah kau ini.. ?

Jika jadi anak, ia adalah bidadari kecil ayah bunda

Permata yang siang malam dijaga keduanya

Jika jadi pasangan, ia adalah kesenangan terindah

Surga untuk pasangannya di dunia.

Jika jadi orang tua, waaaaah..

Surga itu telah berpindah di telapak kakinya

Ia bawa kemana-mana.

Nabi pun membilangnya sebagai tiang

Tatkala kehidupan adalah bangunan.

المراة عماد البلاد اذا صلحت صلحت البلاد واذا فسدت فسدت البلاد

Ya, engkaulah tiang itu.

Engkaulah perempuan.

"Perempuan adalah tiang negara. 

Jika perempuan baik, baiklah negaranya. 

Jika perempuan rusak, hancurlah negaranya"

Engkaulah tiang dalam bangunan rumah tanggamu

Engkau sandaran bagi dinding, pintu, atap dan jendela

Nabi selalu benar memilih istilah kata

Karena di rumahmu semua urusan kepadamu bertumpu.

Maka, sebagai tiang kau harus kuat tak tergoyahkan

Sebagai sandaran kokohmu adalah karang di lautan

Tidak rentan diterjang angin dan badai

"tapi aku tak sekuat itu...", katamu..

"aku tak berdaya menghadapi kebrutalan dunia ini"

"zaman semakin menggerusku, bebannya melumatku hingga luluh"

"aku begitu lemah, aku tertindas, aku teraniaya..", katamu pula

Tunggu, wahai perempuan..

Kau lupa..

Ada ALLAH dalam hidupmu

Yang siap Menanggung segala keluh

Ada ALLAH dalam harimu, 

Sumber kekuatan yang penuh 

Ada ALLAH dalam hatimu,

Jika kau serahkan padaNYA segala sesuatu

Ia akan Menjaganya hingga utuh..

Maka..

Dalam tiap gerimis kesedihan

Hanyutkan dirimu dalam dzikir panjang malammu

Dalam tiap kerikil tajam di jalanan

Benamkan wajahmu dalam sujud kepasrahan

Dalam tiap duka yang menyapa

Hanyutkan air matamu dalam sungai KasihNYA

Dalam tiap nestapa

Larutkan pahit air matamu dalam manis CintaNYA

Dan dalam tiap kelabu langitmu..

Panggillah NamaNYA.. 

ALLAH.. ALLAH..

Dan tunggulah..

Hingga Ia Merubah mendungmu menjadi pelangi warna-warni..

Raudhatus Sakinah and Julaybib

Last weekend, Team Syuhada of Kindness Malaysia (Penang region) went to Rumah Raudhatus Sakinah (RS) in Sungai Bakap, Penang.

Raudhatus Sakinah was established as an institution that provides shelter and counselling to victims of teenage girls that are mostly the victims of social illness such as abuse, mistreatment, neglect, psychological stress, rape, incest and so on. RS tries to help teenagers who are involved to boost their self-confidence and their ability to become a useful person to society and religion.

RS has been in operation since August 1998 under the operation of the Wanita Pertubuhan Jamaah Islah Malaysia (WJIM). RS is an ongoing project to help people deal with social problems, especially among teenagers. RS has officially registered under the Care Centre Act 1993, the Social Welfare Department.

The RS home in Penang was opened in 2007. Besides Penang, RS shelters are also available in Sungai Buloh (HQ), Kelantan, Johor and Kuala Lumpur.

Bila nak kahwin?

I bet that most of you who is still single or in a relationship, 24 and above have been asked with that question by the makcik makcik especially during hari raya or family member's wedding kan kan kan? Some of you might find it ok, senyum jawab dengan ikhlas but I know some of you feel totally the opposite - menyampah, jawab dengan sakit hati jiwa raga, and ada yang terasa juga. Tapi ok la jugak kan kalau yang tanya tu makcik makcik - sinonim dengan perkataan busybody mengambil berat. -___-"

But have you girls been asked that particular question by your guy friends? And then they make comments on you dengan jawapan - jawapan yang diberikan? I do. In fact there are many guy friends - married or not - have asked me the same question. Yang buat sakit hati nya adalah bila mereka memberikan komen sesuka hati diorang je. Here are some of the comments/assumptions made by them that I've compiled.

She is Super Something!

I don't know where my passion to blog went,  but I honestly don't feel like blogging at the moment even though I have so much to tell. I hope the passion will come back to me sooner or later. -___-"

Anyway, went to the fabulous singer, Yuna's Terukir di Bintang showcase at DBKL last Saturday with Baiti, Kak Harim and Hanie. I knew I wanted to watch her again after I first went to her concert in DFP months ago. And there she was... as awesome as always. Going to her show is worth every penny spent.

October is all about PINK

05.10.09


Some of you might know it, but some might not. There is something important is happening in October every year beside *ehem ehem* my birthday ;p. October is the Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) or the Pink Ribbon is an annual international health campaign organized by major breast cancer charities every October to increase awareness of the disease and to raise funds for research into its cause, prevention and cure. The campaign also offers information and support to those affected by breast cancer.

We, as the women should be aware of the common form of cancer that afflicting us. It's not possible to say what exactly causes a woman's breast cancer. However, research has shown that some factors might increase a woman's risk or chance of developing breast cancer.

You can just Google to read a lot of info of Breast Cancer as it is important to you, as well as for your mother sister and friends. All the important things is just at your fingertip. The same goes to the men of the women. Show your support for us!

The BCAM is supported through all over the world. Some of the famous landmarks and buildings were lit up pink to show support over pass years.

Tokyo Tower

White House

Niagara Falls

KL Tower

To all the ladies out there, wear a pink ribbon and make a different. or maybe you could wear anything pink everyday in October. T-shirt Pants Shoes Bag. Anything. Wear pink to show your support, and you should not be ashamed of it. For more, visit www.breastcancer.org.
