pesan umi

Umi cakap,,,

’’ Jangan belajar dengan rasa yang terpaksa, tapi cuba tanam dalam diri yang ‘aku memang nak tahu tentang semua tu’. InsyaAllah, takkan ada perasaan tertekan.”

Belajar makin lama memang takde yang makin mudah dan senang. Semuanya makin mencabar.

Kadang-kadang rasa cam nak give up pun ada,,sebab rasa dah tak terdaya.

But one thing, bila kita cuba belajar untuk suka akan sesuatu tu, we will treasure every single thing about them, isn’t it? Tak kira betapa banyak and susah sekalipun.    

And the same goes to our situation here.

Jadi, belajarlah mencintai ilmu.

Dan jangan pandang belajar itu sebagai satu tanggungjawab yang membeban, tapi anggap saja ianya satu pengembaraan yang penuh dengan 1001 wonders. J

ralat: tak suka bila kau lemah semangat. sebab aku takut kalau2 aku jadi lemah jugak, be strong okay! ;)

"Men are from Makkah, Women are from Medina"

A talk by Dr Harlina Halizah Siraj..

Mekka is a hard, dry land – Much like this, men are generally dry and don’t know how to cry. If they do, they don’t want to show it and instead keep all the pain within them under the guise of masculinity.

Medina is soft, with water flowing beneath it and the rain is consistent throughout its seasons – Which reflects women who can easily cry and they’re not scared to show their emotions. In fact, under the guise of femininity they display their emotions regularly.

Mekka has a harsh climate; it’s rough and known to be a mountainous area – Men’s beauty lies in their masculinity, power strength and ruggedness. This is what makes them attractive and allows them to lead effectively.

Medina is lush, full of splendour and serenity – Women are known to be peaceful, full of serenity and their femininity makes them beautiful.

Mekka’s main emotion is `izzah, they are full of honour and will do anything to protect it. They like to be respected and acknowledged, this is what motivates them to excel as individuals.

Medina is full of sukoon, the people are known for their softness. Women are generally more loving and caring; they’re soft by nature and will generally give more than they receive.

Differences in Qur’anic verses

Mekkan (Makiyyah) verses are short, straight to the point and general.

Medinan (Madaniyyah) verses are long, detailed and at times they keep going on, and on.
