Ya Allah Sungguh Aku Tak Sabar!

In The Name of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful

Salam to all..

Alhamdulillah its now day 8 since Amir Faruq's birth. I am happy to report we are both well. To all well wishers, friends who left wonderful messages on my blog..jazakallah for your all your prayers and wishes. I apologise cause I cannot thank easch and everyone personally BUT...nevertheless may Allah in return give all of you the blessings and more that you have all wished upon us. Ameen.

As for Hamza........

So far he has shown nothing but compassion towards his little brother..he calls Faruq adik..or Faruq when he remembers the name. Now, he is an expert at climbing the stairs on his own..so most of the time I will find a faint knock on my door. At first, I thought it was just my imagination..till I heard some murmurs and babling...Yup no other But Amir Hamza waiting outside my door!! According to his Tok Wan, Hamza climbs the stairs even faster than she does!

When he comes to the room, he will look into the cot, reach out to touch Faruq, touches Faruq's hair and sometimes attempt to give Faruq a kiss on his forehead.

Today he started a new thing...

U see, one feature that many visitors commented on that differs between Hamza and Faruq is the "NOSE". Faruq clearly has a more prominent nose than Hamza, so often visitors mainly family would pull Faruq's nose and say "what happened to your nose Hamza". Not very kind i must say...but it happens. Hamza must have learnt from them. So now when he comes to the room, he would also pull on Faruq's nose...."Aduhai, kesiannya Hamza".

All he wants is to participate with caring for his brother and just be around me. Unfortunately for him, Ummi is unable to attend to both Hamza and Faruq at the same time for now. So Hamza spends most his time with Tok Wan and Sidi.

Is he ever jealous??? Well...I am sure he is. But he doesn't translate his jealousy by hurting his little brother, Alhamdulillah. Often he seeks my attention after I have attended to Faruq. Once after feeding Faruq, I gave him to my mother. Later, Hamza climbed on me requesting for me to hold him just as i Held faruq previously..Masya Allah..dearest Hamza.

Some Notes to Share:

Taken from a simple book written by Dr Abdullah Yassin, the ustaz that gave the tazkirah at our wedding and performed the "tahnik" on Faruq.."Pendinding Rumah, Pengantin, Bayi daripada Gangguan Syaitan".

Antara amalan-amalan yang patut dilakukan setelah bayi dilahirkan adalah:

1.Ucapan tahniah ketika melhairkan anak
2. Ta'zin dan Iqamah di telinga bayi
3. Tahnik (belah mulut)
4. Tahliq (cukur rambut)
5. Pemberian nama bayi
6. Khitan
7. Aqiqah

Alhamdulillah, Amir Faruq selesai semua perkara kecuali 4 dan 6.

Right after birth, since Abi couldn't be with us, Hamza's uncle, Ayah Li (Dr Razali) was the one thatperformed the Azan and Iqamah.

As for the Tahnik, we were lucky to have Dr Abdullah Yassin himself to perform the Tahnik.

Dulu Hamza, we managed to have the Imam of Masjid E Noor to perform the Tahnik. Simple je, Hamza abi bawa gi masjid jumpa the imam. Faruq pulak, Ustaz Abdullah singgah selepas terawih and nah..selesai. Takde majlis besar, takde marhabannya.

Insya Allah abi balik nanti, he will perform the Tahliq and bawa Faruq khitan at Ampang Puteri on the 15th of Ramadhan. Insya Allah..

Tahnik by Dr Abdullah Yassin

Dr Abdullah and his wife, sambil mengajar kami doa:

"Dengan Nama Allah, Ya Allah jauhkanlah syaitan daripada kami, dan jaukanlah syaitan daripada anak yang Engkau anugerahkan kepada kami"

Abang Hamza excited lepas tahnik Faruq :)

..................................................................................................

I am very thankful for everything that has happened throughout the pregnancy and our seperation period. However, I must admit, it is so sad that I am missing out on Ramadhan.. I just hope that my du'as still counts during these sleepless nights of feeding baby Faruq..and I too do not lose out on the blessed night of Lailatul Qadr.

.......AND yes, Sayang will be back this SATURDAY!!!!!! after 4 LOOONNGGG MONTHS APART. Conclusion: Insya Allah, after months of evaluation..we've decided to once again be together...when?? hopefully sooner rather than later. Ya Allah Sungguh Aku Tak Sabar!!!!

What I dont look forward to..? another loong 4-5 months apart. oh I dread 5th of October......

Sayang, I simply can't wait.

A special dedication for Sayang. May it be a motivation for surviving our times apart...And Sayang...my prayers are always with u no matter where u are.


Allah Knows

(Zain Bhikha)

When you feel all alone in this world
And there's nobody to count your tears
Just remember, no matter where you are
Allah knows Allah knows

When you carrying a monster load
And you wonder how far you can go
With every step on that road that you take
Allah knows Allah knows

No matter what, inside or out
There's one thing of which there's no doubt
Allah knows Allah knows
And whatever lies in the heavens and the earth
Every star in this whole universe
Allah knows Allah knows

When you find that special someone
Feel your whole life has barely begun
You can walk on the moon, shout it to everyone
Allah knows Allah knows

When you gaze with love in your eyes
Catch a glimpse of paradise
And you see your child take the first breath of life
Allah knows Allah knows

When you lose someone close to your heart
See your whole world fall apart
And you try to go on but it seems so hard
Allah knows Allah knows

You see we all have a path to choose
Through the valleys and hills we go
With the ups and the downs, never fret never frown
Allah knows Allah knows

Every grain of sand,
In every desert land,
He knows.
Every shade of palm,
Every closed hand,
He knows.
Every sparkling tear,
On every eyelash,
He knows.
Every thought I have,
And every word I share,
He knows.
Allah knows
