becoming a medical student.... oh snap.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Warning : grammatical errors, blabbering.


TWO roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

In a few days... My life as a medical student will begin. But... to start the journey as a doctor-to-be, I am not clear of myself too. I mean, hello kerja doktor penat tahu. Tidur tak cukup, makan tak kenyang, masa tak banyak. Where's the fun?


And the question that has been playing in my mind since long agooo... is... Will I survive in DnT with the hectic schedules? (er masa dah jadi doctor nanti lah)
Or
Will I turn into a robot who is so-called-doctor, doing the same things everyday AIMLESSLY as if I have a reset button on my back? and slowly... forgetting the purpose of my life?

Until....

"Akak tak pernah minat pon dengan medic. Redah je. Tapi lepas akak ikut tarbiyyah, akak sedar Aku nak jadi doktor ni sebab Islam. Sebab Allah. Sebab ini caranya aku nak berdakwah kat orang" -Graduated medical student from Jakarta-

For the sake of Islam. Sounds cliche? Yesss but duhh, it's the answer that I've been looking for.
Not that I never knew that we must do everything only for the sake of Allah.
Not that no one ever told me about that. I've been reminded this lots of time.
But, maybe... because this time, it came out from a medical student itself -(an extra credit: she's a graduated med student. an add up point: murabbiah ;) huu )
If you're doing your work or preparing for you career for the sake of the worldly things - $$$, pangkat, nama, etc... you will come to no end. Because we will never be satisfied for what the dunya can give us.
"What is the life of this world but amusement and play? but verily the Home in the Hereafter,- that is life indeed, if they but knew" - (Al-Ankabut:64)
If you wanna be a doctor, because you wanna help people, do good things, give something to the community etc... then what's the different between you and the other non-muslim doctors from all over the globe?
If you're taking medicine, JUST because you have a special feeling for biology, anatomy, physiology or whatever (i-dont-know-i'm-not-yet-a-medical-student), you will come to an end, er not a good one - that's when you start to get bored of the world of a doctor.
But but but.

If you're studying, no matter what course (accountancy, dentistry, medicine, dietetic etc) for the sake of Allah; to obtain His pleasure, to serve the Ummah or to make Islam proud... With Allah wills, you will be able to walk your journey well. Because this is just like a drama in which you know that a happy ending is awaiting for you at the end of the long-tiring journey. You believe in Allah, in HIS promises and that's the reason why you wont give up (hei hei saya jenis pengalah).


10. O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty?-
11. That ye believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that ye strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons: That will be best for you, if ye but knew!
12. He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is indeed the Supreme Achievement.
(61:10-12)

You will fall sometimes, but again, duhhh, its human nature. We have our ups and downs moments but with FAITH, it's easier to stand up again and smile after each falls. It's okay to fail, it's okay to get low marks, it's okay to cry. ^_~

‎"what if every single stumble, every challenge, every experience in our life was only intended for one purpose: to bring us back to our origin? What if every win, every loss, every beauty, every fall, every cruelty, and every smile was only intended to unveil another barrier between us and God? Between us and where we began, and where we are desperately seeking to return?" Suhaibwebb.com

But (ye banyak but di sini). Well, we plan, HE plans, and He is the best planner. Mungkin doktor atau apa2 je lah course yang kita ambik bukanlah kerjaya yang terbaik untuk kita. The most we (students) can do now are to pray, give our best effort and tawakkal. kamu buat 3 benda itu, kamu gagal, kamu bukan pengalah. =) Cop, best effort ye, bukan hangat2 tahi ayam style punya effort.
Ok.
Why did I write this?
Er. entah kamu banyak bebel, isi kurang.
Isi penting : Buatlah apa-apa pon, kerja, belajar atau apa2 sekalipon... buatlah sebab tu tu Yang Satu tu, Ar-Razzaq, Al-Wahhab, Ar-Rahman, Ar-Rahim, nescaya kamu tak akan rasa ingin putus asa.
Niat tersembunyi : motivation for myself to start off as a medical student. ['',]b

D : "Kamu kenal kak XXX?"
G : "Tak"
D " "Dia doktor, anak lima dah. Tapi aktif je dalam DnT. Bawah dia ada 800++ adik yang dia kena jaga. Jadi tak ada alasan- tak ada masa. Kalau kita nak, boleh je sebenarnya"
G : *determined, in-awe face*



I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
Sekian, assalamualaikum.

30 days... seeking for love.


Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

10 hari dah habis. Tinggal 20 hari lagi. So, have you found your love? ;)

Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Kamu diwajibkan berpuasa sebagaimana diwajibkan atas
orang-orang yang dahulu daripada kamu, supaya kamu bertaqwa (2:183)
The purpose of fasting has been stated in the Qur'an and that is laalakum tattaqun (english translation : So that you may become pious)

The holy month of Ramadhan is one of the signs of Allah's love to His servants. It's a sacred month for the Muslims, its like a yearly bonus for the workers after a long period of working... This whole month is a gift given by the Lord to make us as one of the muttaqin.

Some people say that this month is like a big examination, where you have to show your best effort after studying for the whole year. Those who do well in the past months will have an easier path in getting an A- becoming a muttaqin.

And some may think of Ramadhan as a motivational or a training camp in which we get the chance to renew our spirit and start everything anew again. But as usual, the effect of motivational camp wont really last if you're not determine enough.

"Bulan Ramadhan ni macam sale hujung tahun dekat hypermarket. Bayangkan Tesco buat jualan murah. Buy 1 free 10. Semua tol ke Tesco free. Jalan2 yang rosak diperbaiki. Lampu isyarat ke Tesco hijau sepanjang masa. Rugi tak kalau kita tak pergi jugak?" UstazArif

I love the way the Ustaz related the month of Ramadhan with a year-end sale.


We already know that there are so much things offered to us during this one month. Jadi enggak perlu diulang lagi perkara yang sama kan.

mode : bahasa melayu

oh oh sejak er suatu masa yang lalu sangat suka dengar orang bercakap pasal iman. sangat suka baca cerita kisah sahabat yang imannya ummphh. sangat suka dengar orang cerita pasal sifat orang beriman. suka suka suka tapi susahnya lah nak jadi orang yang beriman mantap.

"Iman dan cinta tu Allah yang kasi. Kalau takde iman macam mana nak ada cinta kat Allah" -A-

Sebelum seorang kawan cakap benda di atas, saya tak pernah tahu pun ada bond yang sangat kuat antara Iman dan cinta. haa mana pernah kisah pasal benda2 tuh. iman? percaya dan yakin dalam hati, dibuktikan dengan amal dan diucapkan dengan kata-kata. ok dalam exam - 2 markah. praktikalnya? errr.....

Ok banyak bebel . dah cukup.

hipotesis : semakin kuat keimanan kamu, semakin kuat cinta kamu.

Kalau bukan kerana iman dan cinta...
Nak ke Abu Bakar keluarkan semua harta dia untuk Perang Tabuk dan bila ditanya apa yang kamu tinggalkan untuk isteri dan anak2 kamu, dia jawab "Aku tinggalkan untuk mereka Allah dan rasulnya"
Kalau bukan kerana iman dan cinta...
Nak ke Khabbab bin Arat biarkan kulitnya dipanggang untuk pertahankan dua kalimah syahadah?
Kalau bukan kerana iman dan cinta...
Sanggup ke Uwais al-Qarni tinggalkan ibu dia yang sakit semata-mata untuk bertemu rasulullah?
Kalau bukan kerana iman dan cinta...
Possible kah untuk pemimpin2 Islam yang hebat- Salahuddin al-Ayubi, Muhammad al-Fateh, Sultan Abdul Hamid utnuk muncul?
Dan kalau bukan kerana iman dan cinta...
Sampaikah Islam pada kita hari ini?
(Dan bermacam2 'kalau bukan kerana iman dan cinta' lagi lah)

Tengok-tengok. Wah wah best kan impak iman dan cinta?

Itu mereka. Kita? Bila lagi nak rasa penangan iman dan cinta?
Maka kawan2, dengan bonus 30 hari yang Allah kasi kat kita ni, inilah masanya untuk mencari cinta! lets strive to our fullest and do our best to plant the seed of love and faith within us :)

The shaytans are not here with us now. Tinggal kita dan nafsu kita. So, what are we waiting for? Grab the chance and dont lose the opportunity because we never know if we're going to meet the next Ramadhan.

Conclusion : Those who believe in Allah and love him will do anything for the sake of His Deen.

Let's seek for the greatest love of all ^_^

Akhir kata...

Dari Abu Hurairah R.A katanya: Rasulullah SAW bersabda:"kecewa dan merugi orang yang bila namaku disebut dia tidak mengucapkan shalawat atasku, kecewa dan merugi orang yang berkesempatan hidup di bulan ramadhan tetapi tidak terampun dosa-dosanya,kecewa dan merugi orang yang berkesempatan hidup bersama orang tuanya tetapi dia tidak bisa sampai masuk surga ,"
(Hadis Riwayat Imam Ahmad)
