How To Memorize Al Quran Kareem
"In this post, you’ll learn one of the most effective strategies I’ve ever come across for doing your hifz of the Quran and building a very close relationship with Allah (swt) in the process…
So, this hifz technique was taught by the Algerian Shaykh Zakariya al-Siddiqi who teaches at the Institute of Human Sciences in France and is one of the foremost scholars of Quran today.
He memorised it by the age of 9 and dedicated his life to studying and teaching it, and he once told us the story of one of his friends. His friend was an engineering student, who was a ’Fresher’ about to embark on a 5 year degree. Let’s call him Ahmed…
Ahmed was an intelligent student who followed one of the oft-forgotten Sunnah’s of Success…
Quran Memorization Tip 1: Wake Up Early
He woke up earlier than most people. In fact, he woke up on time to get to the Mosque to pray Fajr every day. When he got home from the mosque, instead of busying himself with the internet or watching television, he spent the first few minutes of each day memorising the Quran.
Quran Memorization Tip 2: Each Day Memorise Less Than You Think You Can
Ahmed made a firm commitment to memorise the Quran, but instead of rushing in and trying to memorise one or two pages each day (like his friends who gave up before long), he confined himself to learning 5 lines per day.
This worked out to be about 20-30 minutes per day for him.
Quran Memorization Tip 3: Get Familiar First
In order to overcome the initial unfamiliarity with the new verses, he spent the first few minutes each day actually writing out the 5 lines of that day onto a small sheet of paper.
He spent the next few minutes reciting them over and over, and then attempted to memorise them.
Quran Memorization Tip 4: Keep Today’s Verses Close At Hand
As Ahmed went about his day, he often found that he had a few chunks of time – several minutes each. During these times, such as waiting for the bus, or waiting for a teacher to turn up to a class, Ahmed would try to remember the 5 lines from that morning.
To aid his memory, he kept the sheet that he wrote out that morning folded in his pocket, and would pull it out if he was struggling.
Quran Memorization Tip 5: Use What You Memorise In Every Single Salah
To further support his memory, every prayer he prayed that day, he would recite the same 5 verses of Quran that he learned that morning. In each aka’, he would alternate between the 5 lines from that day, and the 5-10 lines he learned the previous days. And remember…
Quran Memorization Tip 6: Keep Track Of Your Goal
With the Uthmani script of the Quran, there are exactly 15 lines per page. So, by the end of the week, Ahmed had not only memorised 2 whole pages of the Quran, but he had written them out in full, too… a very blessed act if ever there was one.
Quran Memorization Tip 7: Perfect Your Tajweed As You Go
On the weekend, Ahmed would visit a local scholar of Quran recitation, and would revise with him the 2 pages he had just memorised, and have a go at the 2 pages he would be working on the following week. This way, he was certain to learn the Quran with accurate tajweed and beautiful recitation.
There was one other secret to Ahmed’s success.
The Spiritual Secrets Of Successful Memorisation…
Once a week, on a weekend evening (usually on a Friday night), Ahmed would wake up in the middle of the night, and pray Tahajjud. During his special Tahajjud prayer, Ahmed would recite the whole two pages he had learned that week, and consolidate them.
At this point, the Shaykh mentioned that perhaps one of the reasons so few people manage to wake up and do this special prayer, which is highly recommended by the Quran and by our beloved Prophet (saw), is that we don’t have anything to recite.
We have so little Quran memorised that there’s no fun or enjoyment in the challenge of waking up for Tahajjud, and we often find even the fard prayers a ’chore’ instead of a pleasure.
The Results…
You can imagine Ahmed’s excitement and feeling of achievement and success 3 months after he started, when he had memorised the entire 1st Juz!
It’s not just the feeling of success and empowerment that the Quran gave him, but also the deep connection with Allah (SWT) he felt every single day.
You can only imagine how proud he must have felt of himself, when upon graduation Ahmed not only received a 1st class degree in engineering (he was 3rd in his class), but he had also officially memorised the entire Quran. He was a hafidh.
Shaykh Zakariya pointed out a final lesson from this blessed brother.
The biggest achievement he made was not to memorise the Quran. The biggest achievement he made was to be deeply connected with the Quran every single day for 5 years.
That connection with Allah (SWT) is what made Ahmed so special. That deep link with the Creator is what keeps life in perspective and is what helped Ahmed to keep on track with the little weekly targets he set for himself.
One can only imagine what happened to Ahmed’s levels of personal fulfilment, Iman and taqwa, as he went back every single day to develop this ritual of ihsan (spiritual excellence). Each day he woke up for Fajr and wrote out another 5 lines of Quran, his self-esteem and self-confidence soared…

Change-- Henshin..!
Kamen Rider KABUTO cool kan?
Change?..
Have you ever watched Kamen Rider KABUTO or other Kamen Rider?
They have their own belt to CHANGE and become a Kamen Rider.
Cool kan?...
Sound childish ?..
When I watch Kamen Rider, that HENSHIN (Change ) keep me changing in my life.
Is it not easy to change rite,?..I admit it. That's a fact!.
Maybe, your parent or your friends,they always keep asking you to change yourselves. Maybe your habit, your attitude or just your appereance but no one can change us, except....yeah..US..! Only us can change ourselves.
I have this idea that everyone want to change.At least, everyone would think about it even just one sec.
The poor want to change become a rich person
The bad criminal want to change become a good one.
The burnt out person want to change become a motivated.
The just-little-ugly man want to become a handsome and charismatic person.
You have that tought rite?
Maybe I'm not a suitable person to teach you how to change but, I'm just saying.
So,here we are.
1.Don't change ..........drastically.
Oh.! Let me share you my story.
My first year at university, I had this feeling, I mean burnt out feeling. My life is confusing, studying inconsistently, boring life and yada yada yada.
Then, one day, I made a decision to CHANGE after I read some motivation books. I set my new vision and targets, I made a timetable,change my room's appereance, change my personality, always go to the mosque, i CHANGE everything ,like I'm the most motivated and systematically person in this planet and guess what?..yeah, after one week, I forgot my vision, hardly seen my timetable,and that's all..!, I felt like a hypocrite that time because I didnt felt that was myself.
That will happen when you want to change yourselves everything DRASTICALLY. Change is a good thing, Don't get me wrong BUT if you change smoothly, you will achieve your own target.
That will happen when you want to change yourselves everything DRASTICALLY. Change is a good thing, Don't get me wrong BUT if you change smoothly, you will achieve your own target.
How about this analogy (terpengaruh dgn Cg Ali,haha.Cg Ali, Cg Ali ), you own Proton SAGA car that you always drive it to go to your workplace or your university.
One day, you send it to workshop and they modify EVERYTHING about that car, its engine, its bumper, its appeareance and become a Mitsubishi LANCER EVO. Yeah.! Only one day . How does it feel when you see it?..Do you FEEL that car is YOUR Proton SAGA when you drive and see it?..Absolutely NO.!..It become completely different from your car and you feel like "This is not my car, where is my car huh?"
How about this? You modify that car, but you don't change it drastically. For example, this year, you change its tires, after one year, you change its bumper, and so on. After 10 years, it become like this.
Cool...eh? Different huh?.but, if you keep driving that car ( not literally ) in that 10 years and keep modifying. After 10 years, when you drive that car, its seat, its smell, it is familiar rite?..and you know and feel
" This is MY car..!"
" This is MY car..!"
geddit?....x paham?..oh crap..nape aku dok menulis mende mengarut ni ..haha
Exception :
If someone must change drastically like become a Muslim revert. That's completely different. They must face many hardship to change themselves and please guide them. Tabik spring dol..!
2.Set your target and REWARD yourselves.
When you want to change, you must set reasonable target. Different types of change have different targets.
For example, you always sleeping when lecture time, so, how bout ur target is to hold ur sleep for just one HOUR?
Another example, you want to deactivate your FB account for the rest of your life, and how about you deactivate it for just one WEEK first time, and after you achieve that target, reward yourselves.Maybe just a candy or shopping time, I don't care, choose your own reward. Then, after two days, set new target to deacvticate it for one month.Keep doing it until you can deactivate for the rest of ur life. Easy huh?..Target, reward, target , reward.
3.Maintain
This is the most difficult part about change. Maintain your achievement.
My close friend that I know her since childhood. One day, I don't know, maybe her head hit a rock or something, she changed became a very good girl, start recite al-Quran Kareem everyday, always helping people, talking like an educated woman, like "Are-u-sure-this-is-Rin (bukan nama sebenar ) ?". Alhamdulillah, that's a good sign, but after maybe one month, she turned back to become her oldself.
There are two factors that we need to focus to maintain our achievement.
First, you need a guidance that can always support you, give advice, guide you like friends, parent or teachers.
About Rin, no one guide and advice her .So, she was easily burnt out.!
2nd. Knowledge.
Yeah, knowledge. If you want to change and maintain it, you must have your knowledge by your side.That knowledge will guide you when there is no one to guide you.
By knowledge, you will find a good reason why you change.
Geddit?
so, let CHANGE...!
HENSHIN...!
*Special for Kamen Rider KABUTO fan*

how about ' HI ' ?
Seriously, i admit that, it's not possible to find a true-friend-until-you-die friend IF you take account to many impossible characteristics to become your friend like charismatic, stylo, macho, can make a good joke, rich and etc. Hey, wake up!..Nobody is PERFECT,rite?
When I set my mind that my friends are not perfect and put our difference aside, it's too easy to find anyone as a friend. Maybe, you just don't know how to make a friend (not because you're an arrogant ) because he/she have too many differences between you.
My Abah told me, "Tegor je sume org, Dato' ke, pengemis ke, sume darah warna merah..manusia juga".( "Just friendly talk with anybody, a Leader or beggar, all of them is human with red blood too like us" )
so, how about just say ' Hi..! ' if you encounter them or maybe just smile, if you don't have enough courage to say 'Hi..' (too shy person only.)
If you are a Muslim, spread the Salaam...Assalamualaikum..hoho
Do this and expect some difference in your life. =)
T-R-Y Oh baby we can fight like dogs we can fight like cats a dirty laundry needs a laundry man maybe the king and the queen should lay off the caffeine baby breathe before you react sometimes we do forget to behave and we regret what we say cause words are too weapons if we don't choose'em carefully ladies and gentlemen this is instrumental if life's to be a bed of roses i know i gave you everything you like because you still give me butterflies if we just try try try just to be ni-ni-nice then the world would be a better place for you and I if we just live our lives putting our differences aside oh that would be so beautiful to me Are we just dangling in the middle of a galaxy Well i'm stoked on gravity To be stuck with you like flowers on the dew drops Now let it in my direction My direction is up when everybody's down cause i don't mind being anybody's clown I love a little lift cause i'm an optimistic In an altruistic way Cause basically this place is needing instruments of harmony Spreading my philosophy of love and inspiration Oh these words I speak I commit to like a crime with a rhythm i deliver i'm giving them a picture of the reasons why We should just try try try Just to be ni-ni-nice So the world could be a better place for you and I If we just live our lives Putting our differences aside Oh that would be so beautiful to me well it wouldn't cost a penny but could save so many lonely lives from teary eyes if we just try try try to open up a can of understanding open up your heart i'm just planting seeds cause i believe We could just try try try Just to be ni-ni-nice So the world would be a better place for you and I If we just live our lives Putting our differences aside Oh that would be so beautiful to me if we could try, just to be nice that could be so beautiful to me I believe, Oh that could be so beautiful to me

Millions of World

NEW YORK - resident Kathy Evans brought humiliation to her friends and family when she set a new standard for stupidity with her appearance on the popular TV show, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.'
Evans, a 32-year-old wife and mother of two, got stuck on the first question and proceeded to make what fans of the show are dubbing 'the absolute worst use of lifelines ever.' After being introduced to the show's host Meredith Vieira, Evans was posed with a typically easy initial $100 question.
The question was: 'Which of the following is the largest?'
A) A Peanut
B) An Elephant
C) The Moon
D) Hey, who you calling large?
Immediately Mrs. Evans was struck with an all consuming panic as she did not readily know the answer. 'Hmm, oh boy, that's a toughie,' said Evans, as Vieira did her level best to hide her disbelief. 'I mean, I'm sure I've heard of some of these things before, but I have no idea how large they would be.'
Evans made the decision to use the first of her three lifelines, the 50/50. Answers A and D were removed, leaving her to decide which was bigger, an elephant or the moon. However, faced with an incredibly easy question, Evans still remained unsure.
'Oh! It removed the two I was leaning towards!' exclaimed Evans... 'Darn. I think I better phone a friend.' Mrs.. Evans asked to be connected with her friend Betsy, who is an office assistant...
'Hi Betsy! How are you? This is Kathy! I'm on TV!' said Evans, wasting the first seven seconds of her call. 'Ok, I got an important question. Which of the following is the largest? B, an elephant, or C, the moon. 15 seconds hun.'
Betsy quickly replied that the answer was C, the moon. Evans proceeded to argue with her friend for the remaining ten seconds. 'Betsy, are you sure?' said Evans. 'How sure are you? Duh, that can't be it.'
To everyone's astonishment, the moronic Evans declined to take her friend's advice. 'I just don't know if I can trust Betsy. She's not all that bright.
So I think I'd like to ask the audience,' said Evans.
Asked to vote on the correct answer, the audience returned 98% in favor of answer C, 'The Moon.' Having used up all her lifelines, Evans then made the dumbest choice of her life..
'Wow, seems like everybody is against what I'm thinking,' said the too-stupid-to-live Evans. 'But you know, sometimes you just got to go with your gut... So, let's see... I'm going to have to go with B, an elephant... Final answer.'
Evans sat before the dumbfounded audience, the only one waiting with bated breath - and was told that she was wrong, and that the answer was in fact, C, 'The Moon.'
p/s: i'm not trying to humiliate her, but, that's what happened when you live in your own world, you think u're clever enough to live in this world. Even, the genius, Albert Enstein can become a dumb person, if he think he is clever person.
In fact, everyone is stupid but, we are clever in different field, like a taxi driver knows many things about taxi than a doctor and a doc knows many things about medicine than a taxi driver.So, never compare yourselves with other people and think you're more clever or you're more dumb.
Dont live in your own world but, we must travel in millions of world.

happy mother's day!
My mother is one of the most positive people I have ever known, and I have learned so much from her throughout my life. No matter the situation or how bad things appeared, she always looked on the bright side. Her entire world as a housewife might be caving in, but it was still a 'great day'. Have you ever been around people like that?
I called it 'active hope'.That kind of relentless hope is contagious. She always happy-delighted that Allah had given her a brand new day- and she know that, tomorrow was going to be even better.
One year ago, I received my SPM result and with self-cofidence, sure, I thought I will get straight A's....but,unfortunately, I just got 9A1 and 1 B3...huh?....I thought B3 is a biology subject but, it was an English subject...!...English?..
While my parents hugged me and said" Congratz" many times, I keep asking myself...why English?...I'm not a loser in English, I used to get highest mark in my class before..and for sure,i cant apply for any scholarship to pursue my study at overseas..
I began to sulk and then I began to list all my success from PTS (Penilaian Tahap Rendah) until PMR,..my results were always - flying colour-I was a perfectionist before- how tragic it was for me, I tend to climb to the peak of Everest and that day, I was buried in the ground.
I let my negative comments pour out of my mouth while Ibu just looked at me with an upbeat smile, the same she always had, and after I finished my pity party, she simply replied, "Well, you had a great life, my son- You always tend to get good grades, and wow, 9A's,,what a great gift..! and everyone is happy with ur result"...yeah..i can see my abah with his happy face, my friends, my teachers..hmm.."i dont know,Ibu, maybe, u'r right"
now, I always want to improve my English and one of my alternative ways is through blogging.=)
And when I didn't get JPA scholarship for PILN and just get it for local university, Monash University,Sunway...I started to think my dream is over..but, she said " There are thousands out there want to get JPA scholarship, but Thank God.. you get it and also get a chance to pursue your studies as medical student rite?"..then, I asked JPA to change my scholarship for Monash U to IIUM..wooh..
What an amazing way of thinking!.No matter what circumstances comes along,that woman always has a great attitude.
Did she recognize the reality of harsh situation and struggle?..Sure she did!..at her childhood,she just a daughter came from very poor family, and she managed to achieve her dream to become a teacher...!
What she chose to do about those situations was something else entirely.She chose to have hope that a better day was coming, and to believe that God always has everything under control. I realize now that I actually grew up in a household with a motivational person. She continually saw the positive side to every difficulties in life.
Although her food and lifestyle choices have not always been the best, my mother is getting older now but she is still experiencing vibrant health. I believe much of that good health is due her amazing ability to control her thought life. She tell herself what she is going to think, rather than allowing circumstances and problems in life to dictate her attitude.
A positive attitude won't give you everything in life, but it will bring you more than negative thinking. The way we think is a choice. So if you have a chance to choose one attitude or another, choose to be positive.We become what we think about. A person is what they think about all day long.
Our thoughts have tremendous power. if you sow a thought, you reap an action, if you sow an action, you reap a habit, if you sow a habit, you reap character, and if you sow character, you reap a destiny for a lifetime.
What we continually think about today determines who we will become tomorrow. What does that means to us?...It's simple- we have to change the way we think..!..Controlling our thought life is extremely important..!
p/s: thank you,Ibu, I will be a good son for you, happy mother's day everyday!
