silence

the humbling experience of the hard life. we have much to be thankful for.

Rasulullah SAW berkata:

"Sesiapa yang mandi pada hari Jumaat, menggosok gigi dan memakai minyak wangi, memakai pakaian yang terbaik, kemudian keluar hingga tiba di masjid, dan tidak melangkah leher-leher orang (di masjid), kemudian solat sunat sebanyak mana yang dia mahu, kemudian diam ketika imam muncul dan tidak bercakap sehinggalah selesai solatnya, maka dosanya di antara Jumaat itu dengan Jumaat sebelumnya akan diampuni.
{HR Ahmad}

i always have to sit behind the brothers during the lectures whenever we have a class in Lecture Hall 4 because the class is small and the sisters are double the 7 brothers in my posting. by the time i reach the lecture hall (about 5 mins before class), usually the sisters' rows are fully occupied jadi terpaksa sit behind the guys. kalau tak penuh pun, ade je org yg cop-cop tmpt duduk.

during the class the brothers didn't talk much amongst themselves while i was yacking away with my friend beside me commenting on every slide and whatever knowledge was taught. there wasn't even as much as a squeak from them except at the end of the class. wow, bagusnya, they were really attentive.

malu jugak rasanye, but for me it would require much will power and inner strength to not talk during class. don't get me wrong, i don't disturb my friend all the time, i just like discussing and commenting or give my point of view or examples on that topic. i either talk or sleep. as extreme as both options are, i can't really change this bad habit of mine.

alhamdulillah Allah never made it compulsory for the sisters to pray jumaat, otherwise my prayers would not be accepted. berat sangat rasanye the injuction to remain silent. hmm banyaknye dosa kerana mulut. mesti banyak pahala orang yg senyap.
