حان الشهر الكريم...
وهذه الذليلة...
تجاهد في توزيع وقتها...
بإجراء المسؤوليات والمشروعات والبرامج العديدة...
فهل تنتبه وتهتم وتركز في علاقتها مع رب العزة؟

"tak naaaaaak~"
4 Rabi'ul Awal 1434H
not enough time to update much, but keen to share a few interesting "dialogues" I heard today:
in Tauhid lesson with the sec 2s, I was trying to give an example to further elaborate and explain the term "جائز الوجود". there was a part when I took myself as an example of it, and mentioned that if I were to DIE, the world won't be affected, because it's not in dire need of me, unlike its need to The Almighty Creator (واجب الوجود).
it's touching to note that when i mentioned " إذا أموت " (if i die)... i heard one of my male students said: "tak naaaaakkk". (dlm hati: hai~ sayang jugak antum pada ana eh.. lol)
speaking of Tauhid, i'm having quite a challenge teaching this subject, which is not among my favourite subjects ever since i could remember. oh yes, I've voiced it out, but somehow the subject remains...
so I take it as something that Allah Ta'ala Has Planned for me. surely, there's a hikmah behind it, no matter how challenging the task+amanah of conveying very abstract contents is (on the Essence of Allah, the Reasons and Signs of His Existence and His Sifat, etc.). Allahul musta'an...
اللهم افتح عليّ وعلى طلبتي فتوح العارفين، برحمتك يا أرحم الراحمين
...
my 6 year-old niece, Huda, told me not to call her for a hug (a habit of mine). reason being that she's having a fever and (slight) flu. moments later, she herself drew nearer and hugged me, saying that:
"Huda peluk Cik Ija takpe, Cik Ija yang tak boleh peluk Huda pasal Huda sakit.." something like that.
i was like: apa punye kaedah ni???? tak sama ke tu Huda -___-" lol.
...
just finished making a chart/"tree" of أحكام الراء في التفخيم والترقيق for my sec 3s. hopefully it'll help to simplify the topic for them, and help them understand it faster and better, biidznillah (:

May the water run until it becomes clear...
School reopened!
..and my body was kinda shocked by the sudden active schedule, and was exhausted by the time it reaches home. *pengsan~*
I'm expecting this year's teaching experience to be different from the last.
For instance, I'm now handling sec 1-3, compared to mostly upper sec and the pre-Us last year.
the sec 1 boys are overly energetic, and I've to implement a number of tactics to catch their attention that seem to wander about every 5 minutes or so.
e.g. the use of some hand signals that I've never had to use before. and alhamdulillah, they worked very well with these boys!
Actually, they're cute, and can be amusing most of the time (well, so far. since i've yet to "discover" more of them in the later days...). esp when they try to guess the meaning of some Arabic words that I use.
And of course, that means I've to try to keep a straight face in class. or else....
another reason why 2013 will be different is the fact that I've also to focus on my MA...
and the fact that I, Khadijah, want 2013 to be different. in a positive way.
more disciplined. more self-achievements (that only I need to know and acknowledge. to satisfy myself, and most importantly, to please ALLAH throughout the journey. ameen yaa Rabb!)
...
been trying to complete "The Road To Mecca" by Muhammad Asad, a 375-page non-fiction book I borrowed from Liyana about two months back. almost gave up on it initially (due to the rather serious first chapter...). Nevertheless, was determined to give it a try. and so I skipped the first few chapters, and was glad to find the later chapters interesting and insightful. on page 327 were these words, describing why the character chose to venture a threatening path to help his Muslim brothers, rather than remain in the comfort and peace of his homeland, in the company of his friends..:
"...has you not told me yourself that water which stands motionless becomes stale and foul? Let us go - and may the water run until it becomes clear..." (':
...
during the JB trip last week with Huda and Alia Husna, bought a book by Pahrol Md Juoi entitled: "Di Mana Dia Di Hatiku?" (referring to Allah Ta'ala)
started reading some of the poems the author included at intervals, and was deeply touched by the words and meanings, subhanallah! gotta find time to read the book in a more conducive place soon, biidnzillah.
speaking of books, how i wish i'll get to (finally) attend the KL Book Fair 2013... i already have a few books in mind:
- Badiuzzaman Said Nursi by Abdul Latip Talib
-Ensiklopedia Bid'ah (Huda strongly recommended this)
-other books by Pahrol Md Juoi
-the 3-in-1 Aku Terima Nikahnya set by Ust. Hasrizal (ni KIV, kalau ongkos ada lebih. heh)
for now, that's it.
just thinking of books, buat hatiku berbunga~~~
cuma bila fikirkan pasal tempat (dahlah kotak2 cargo ku dari Syria yg penuh dgn kitab2 kesayanganku masih berada di JB krn kesempitan ruang di Yishun ini.tsk), bunga2 di hati tu boleh layu~~~ *sedih*
mak kata: "cepatlah kahwin, boleh bawak masuk kotak2 tu, letak kat rumah sendiri nanti..."
KALAU ada jodoh.
dan KALAU zauj gue punye rumah ada ruang yg besar.
...dan KALAU ada rumah.... (kat S'pore, bab rumah ni boleh buat ramai org Stress atau dapat Depression. haa)
kesimpulannya: wallahu 'alam, dan moga Allah mudahkan segala urusan yang baik (':
