Aizat & Ana
Life, Malay Blog November 23rd, 2008
“Faheem, saya ada satu rahsia … jangan bagitahu orang lain tau,” luah Aizat tiba-tiba.
Hairan lihat kerenah sahabat saya nih … apa hajat tiba-tiba nak beritahu rahsia. Waktu malam dah lewat. Tapi mukanya memang berseri … mata bersinar-sinar (kalah mata dalam cerita anime … hehe).
Saya mengangguk ingin tahu lalu menjawab: “OK Aizat … apa rahsianya?”
“Hurm … saya ada minat kat sorang perempuan nih … Faheem kenal kot … nama dia Ana,” kata Aizat.
Ana? Hati saya berbisik. Macam pernah dengar nama tu … tapi, di mana ya? Hehe … tapi malam tu tak dapat nak recall. Al-maklumlah, memang jenis payah nak ingat nama orang, tambah pulak kalau perempuan.
“Erm … Ana? Apa nama penuh dia?”
“Dia sekelas dengan Faheem … nama dia Farhaana bt Mohd Fadzil.” Wah .. hafal dah namanya!
“Erm …” (serius … tak boleh nak recall)
“…. mungkin kalau saya tengok rupa kenal kot. Apa yang Aizat suka pasal dia?”
Tersenyum Aizat. Nampaknya sahabatku nih dah dilamun cinta … sungguh … tak pernah lihat rupanya begini!
“Suka tengok muka dia … selalu senyum … suka dengar dia ketawa …”
Hehe .. itu cerita lama. Kini, mereka telah pun selamat diijab kabulkan. Tahniah buat Aizat dan Ana. Doa saya dan isteri mudah-mudahan kalian beroleh kebahagiaan berpanjangan hingga ke syurga. Moga Allah menghimpunkan segala kebaikan ke dalam rumah tangga. Semoga dikurniakan zuriat yang soleh dan solehah. Amin.

I Eye You
Food for Thought, Islam, Life, Memories September 23rd, 2008
Even after leaving IIUM, I must admit that it’s reputable charisma and unspoken charm never fail to bloom my heart with a renewed spirit and determination. Every visit that I had made was always welcomed by the sheer pleasure and essence of calm and happiness.
Sometimes I just wonder – what is it about IIUM that’s so intriguing? Despite its distinguished beauty and serene landscape, I am more than convinced that there are other factors to its attraction. Could it be the people there – where diverse cultures and races meet and pray harmoniously together? Or could it be the learning environment – where lecturers and tutors alike come into force to nurture future masterminds of Islam?
As I drove my mum’s Savvy around the campus last Friday, I could not help recalling the days I had being there. Every inch of IIUM seems to have a story to retell of its own accord. Driving pass KAED reminded me of one of the nights when Zul’s Tiara ended up in a deep ditch somewhere in the woods. When I climbed up the stairs towards KICT General Office, the air still smelt the same. The air that once lingered around me while I was a student had again filled up my lungs after almost two years – it felt refreshing (err… I guess not in the sense of breathing fresh air
).
“The only thing constant is change,” Dr. Fauzan once mentioned in class. That’s affirmative. There were new faces among the KICT academic staff member. It seems that most of those who had taught me and my batch have already gone abroad for study leave.
As Friday prayer time approached, I decided to leave early for the mosque. Earlier on, I met Dr. Mohiudin to get my recommendation letters (my wife and I are in progress to apply for Masters/PhD). I also requested from Dr. Adam but he was in a Senate meeting at the time. Only then did I knew that he was still the dean. Well, perhaps not all things have changed
At the mosque, I could hear people reciting the Glorious Qur’an. Masya-Allah. But what I really like about that day was the khutbah. It was given by a lecturer from the department of Arabic language. The khutbah, although in Arabic, was very sound and clear in terms of pronunciation and tone. My eyes trickled – I’ve never really understood most Arabic lectures in my life, but this time it was different. The way the khatib conveyed the khutbah was really something – it was something that I should learn from and make as an inspiration to continue learning the language of the Qur’an.
