GLQ - Surah Al-Mulk

GLQ - Surah Al-Mulk

Salam, hye guys!

So here is an update. Last month I started to join a WhatsApp group for hafazan which is called Girls Love Quran. So for the first month I choose surah Al-Mulk! I've been intending to hafaz this surah since my degree years because Mas said that she hafaz this surah because she used to read it every night during boarding school. As a non-boarding school kid, I'm like, whattt? I didn't know we need to read this surah every night. That's how I get to know this surah. And here is the perfect opportunity for me to memorize, understand and recite the surah every night from now on. Choosing this surah, I do not regret at all.

Here are some of the gems I got from the surah that I shared in the group. Might as well posted it here.

Hypnobirthing 👶

Hypnobirthing 👶

Salam. Hello mommies to be! 💙 

Are you afraid to deliver your baby? Please don't. Before this, I always wonder how my mother, grandma and aunts have so many children and they all gave a normal birth each time. These were like 20 years ago without the advance technology we have today. But now that we are more advance in technology, we become more afraid of delivering birth. Why? Now that I think about it, it's all about our mind. There was no television at that time that showed birth as scary, traumatic and painful. We are just being fool by the televisions shows nowadays! 

I started to know about the term, hypnobirthing from the antenatal class that I went to 2 months ago. Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to go to the full classes of Hypnobirthing. So I have to learn through youtube and podcast. You should try to go to any Hypnobirthing class or learn about it online if you plan to have a positive birth. 

Anyway, two important keys of hypnobirthing that I can summarize here are positive mindset and breathing techniques. 

These are some of my favourites hypnobirthing videos and podcasts: 

1. The Power of Hypnobirthing | Bee Ting Ng | TEDxTARUC



2. HYPNOBIRTH TUTORIAL CLASS#1 Birth Like A Boss HYPNOBIRTHING SERIES



3. What is HypnoBirthing? - HypnoBirthing for Natural Pregnancy & Childbirth



4. How to Have a Balanced and Blissful Pregnancy and Childbirth Experience



5. For iPhone user, you can check out some podcast in your apple music, just search Hypnobirthing. 

Hope this help shine some light to you! May we all have a wonderful, relax, calming, and empowering delivery!

Love and prayers,

AS

Aida Azlin | KL Meetup

Aida Azlin | KL Meetup

Assalamualaikum everyone!

I'm excited! I can't believe I've met Aida Azlin in real life! Eeep! *fangirlingmoodon* 💙

I went to the meetup with Zahidah. She was super excited about it when I first told her about the event. To be honest, I never go to any meetup before, so I'm not sure how the meetup works.

My groupmates. 💙

So we went there, alhamdulillah on time. And all the ladies are so friendly and I can already feel the positive vibes all around the cafe when I first entered the cafe. The cafe was super nice and hommy by the way, I wish there's one near my home. It was very enjoyable, comfy, and positive vibes all around the cafe. I really love the meetup, it's actually my first time being in any meetup. I didn't know we're going to talk among each other more. I was expecting to listen to Aida more. Anyway, I super love it and I gained a lot of new knowledge, friends and positivity. It was overall a good experience.

Here is Aida, talking about how tired she was, but it's all worth it after seeing all of us. Cue "awww".

I feel like she is the same person as she is in the video. Aida is so compose, I don't know how she do it. She is so positive, friendly, compose, calm. I really admire her. I wish to be as compose and friendly like her.

Look how excited I was. At the end of the meetup, everyone was lining up to take pictures with her. I was shocked when she called my name, but then I remembered something, we all have nametags. Haha It was heart warming when she called my name. I feel so belongs. We could totally be friend! 💙

Zahidah and I with Aida. All smiley. 💙

Things I wish I could do that day : Tell Aida how much she means to me, how her works really helps me, how her Tuesday Love Letter keep me going every week, how her videos inspired me to make own videos too, how she inspired me to be the best version of myself, and to give her a warm big hug just like this auntie did. But being the typical me, I froze and just, "Hye, can I take picture with you?" 🙄

As a new parents to be, we have no ideas how to handle birth and babies.

🌸 Prinsip dalam rumah tangga : 

1. Keadilan 

2. Mesyuarah 

🌸 Law is a powerful tool - but only if it is understood well. Kita peguam dilahirkan untuk berkhidmat kepada masyarakat.

Masyarakat sekarang - pukul adalah bukan satu yang pelik.

Lazim menyakiti - Assault 

Menjadikan kehidupan cukup derita - Battery

Bincang benda realistik - nafkah, mahar, mas kahwin.

🌸 Krisis rumah tangga :

4. Dhirar - keganasan rumah tangga 

🌸 Mekanisme pengurusan konflik rumahtangga :

Salam everyone!

As I mentioned on my previous post, School of Deen is organizing Sister of Deen Meet Up for every two months. So this time, I went with Zahidah. Usually it's free, but this time around there is entrance fee. (But still cheap!) I love the potluck, I usually didn't bring anything *guilty* But this time around I feel like bringing something, so I brought banana cake. I hope one day I can bring Bihun Goreng or something heavier. (I'm not confident with my cooking you know haha)

The Sacred Formula | Doa Course

The Sacred Formula | Doa Course

27 July 2018

No comments

Salam everyone! So this month, I wanted to share something that I've been doing this month. I've been consistently take this FREE "online course", which called The Sacred Formula : A Study of the Du'a of the Prophets By Sh. Yahya Adel Ibrahim. 

But first, let me introduce you to School of Deen. I super love them btw. One of the best Islamic organization that I've followed (before this I love I-Muslim, but sadly, they're no longer operating). They organize events and classes for both online and offline. They'll also have Sister of Deen Meet Up every 2 months, which I always joined.

I've been following them in :

1. Instagram 

2. Facebook

3. Facebook group for the sisters.

Anyway, back to the course.

💡THE SACRED FORMULA WILL COVER:

1. Introduction

2. 5 people whom Allah will answer

3. Do You Deserve to be Answered? 

4. Why Du'a is not answered?

5. The Du'a of Adam

6. The Du'a of Nuh

7. The Du'a of Ibrahim

8. The Du'a of Yunus

9. The Du'a of Musa

10. The Du'a of Zakariya

11. The Du'a of Muhammad ﷺ

💡HOW WILL IT WORKS?

🌸 Maximum of 15 minutes audio lecture for 27 days.

🌸 Just click on the link to be provided to play the audio.

🌸 Once it's played you don't need the internet anymore, You can just lock your phone, you can still take notes using your phone, you can PAUSE, PLAY and REWIND freely!

💡TIPS:

🌸 Just spend only max of 15 minutes / day to learn new knowledge. Don't procrastinate! 

🌸 Or you can also be like me. I consistently spend my Monday and Tuesday mornings for a month to listen to 3 - 5 audios / day and take notes. I downloaded all the audios in my laptop. I printed the PDF version and took notes there. I spend about 1 hour only to study.

🌸You can listen while doing something else (eg: driving) or have a proper study time like me. I avoid multitasking and focus to listen to audio while taking notes only. I've also put my phone in silent mode. Helps me to concentrate better.

🌸 Share few key points everyday with your family, friends or your social medias to help you remember.

🌸 Apply the Doas that you've learned through out the course in your everyday life and start creating your own Doas too!

If you want to join the course, don't worry it's never too late, just install Telegram apps in your laptop or phone and click HERE! 

Happy learning guys. May all of us be benefited with the knowledge and started to apply them in our daily life. May Allah accept our efforts in learning and be a better muslim.
