Sebaik hiasan adalah wanita solehah

Terciptanya Adam sebagai insan pertama, Nabi yang terdahulu, membuktikan kekuasan Dia yang Maha Esa. Diajar dan dibimbing segala ilmu yang ada, moga menjadi ciptaan yang agung yang mulia. Lalu tunduklah sekalian Malaikat pada kekuasaan Dia yang Maha Esa.

Namun, jauh di sudut hati, terpalit rasa kesunyian, dambakan belaian kasih dan sayang. Lalu hadirnya Hawa melengkapi kekosongan dijiwa. Diciptakannya dari rusuk Adam, moga saling memahami membimbing ke jalan hakiki. Hadirnya Hawa mengisi kesunyian yang ada, mewarnai hayat dengan kasih dan sayang dibawah rahmat Dia yang Maha Esa.

Sesungguhnya wanita itu adalah hiasan agung di dunia ini. Namun sebaik hiasan adalah wanita yang memiliki iman dan taqwa, akhlak mulia pakaian diri, sopan santun hiasan diri, berbudi pekerti amalan sehair-hari. Sesunguhnya wanita itu mampu menggongcang iman dijiwa andai tanpa didikan yang sempurna. Wahai anak Adam, dalam mencari teman yang hakiki, pilih lah mengikut tuntutan Syari’, jangan mengikut pujukan nafsu sendiri. Pandanglah dengan mata iman dan taqwa, jangan memandang dengan mata hati yang melulu. Berwaspadalah, kerana pandangan itu adalah diantara panahan-panahan syaitan. Sesungguhnya dinikahi wanita itu kerana empat perkara: kerana kecantikannya, kerana keturunannya, kerana hartanya, kerana agamanya. Pilihlah kerana agama kerana itu pasti menguntungkan.

Jika ingin teman secekal Hajar,
Jadilah setabah Nadi Ibrahim,

Jika ingin didamping secantik Zulaika,
Jadilah secekal Nabi Yusuf,

Jika ingin isteri sehebat Khadijah,
Jadilah suami seperti Rasullallah,

Sesungguhnya rasa kasih dan sayang itu andai dibina atas dasar keikhlasan dihati, penuh tawakkal pada Illahi, nescaya berkekalan hingga abadi.

Sesungguhnya dunia ini adalah perhiasan semata,
Sebaik hiasan adalah wanita yang solehah,
Sebaik wanita yang solehah adalah isteri misali,
Melahir membimbing zuriat solehi,
Sebagai pewaris agama mulia lagi suci ini,
Terus membela nasib ummah ini,
Dalam mencapai kegemilangan didunia ini.

What leadership is all about?

People sometimes ask, how to be a good leader? or what exactly leadership is all about? or even how to be a good leader?. For me the answer is simple. Leadership is all about CONFIDENT. Being a leader, one need to has a confidence in one self without which one can not successfully lead others. Through confident its create enthusiasm and determination to work and eventually build respect from others. When you are confident with your self, people will listen to your message even though it is complicated. Compare to when you are not confident with your self, you can not convey the message effectively though how simple it is. Confident create trust and improve ones' credibility.

Every moment in our live is a choice. Every choice is our choice. There are many choice in our live. So make a choice. No such thing as luck all are base on one choice, so take charge of your choice.

People always assume that everything happen to him is a faith. No, it is not a faith, rather it is a choice that he has made. So choose carefully.

Opportunity comes seldom, but once it comes grab it while you can because once its gone, you can never find it back. So choose wisely.

Its all about listening not merely hearing

Being a mentor is not as easy as it may sound. People always make mistake by assuming thing without prior knowledge of that thing. Due to that, he or she can not perform his duty as a mentor effectively and efficiently.

One thing that I would like to share when we talk about being a mentor is that one has to take the liberty of listening to his or her mentee. Many of us are hearing but few of us are actually listening. What is the different between listening and hearing? The simple answer is that hearing is when you hear something merely for the sake of hearing just like when you are hearing music. But listening, is you hear something and give prior attention to it and respond to it.

Being a mentor, you have to listen to your mentee. How to do it? simple, you just ask them simple question, such as what do you eat for breakfast? who send you to the programme? and etc. What should I do next? Just listen. Listen to their voice. Listen to their feeling. Why this is very important? This is because, by listening to them, it actually shows that you appreciate them, your concern towards them. This will create strong bonding between you your self as a mentor and them as mentees.

Moreover, this will help to create trust between mentor and mentee. Trust is very important in order to ensure effective mentoring. Trust is something that you can find or ask for, rather it is something that your have to earn it. So one way of doing it is by listening to them. If you want others to listen to you, you first must listen to them. Only then they would show their trust and at most respect to you.

"You have to tune in before you are tune on"
