Zubye Rusli

Ramadhan di kampung. Kaillah kebahagiaan melalui hal-hal kecil yang engkau lalui saban hari, duhai anak. Kerna jika sedemikian sikapmu, apa pun kesulitan yang bakal kau tempuh, akan bisa engkau tersenyum dan senang pula mengucap syukur.

Beauty is not in the face, beauty is a light in the heart | Kahlil Gibran

Izlynne

Ibu is not so proud of this shot because I think it was not my best, but I was and still am very proud with the moment this shot was taken. I did not realise until I saw the photo on my camera screen.

Eversince the historic roller-coaster ride you took, somehow you have gained this inner strength and confidence. The moment this shot was taken was when you asked,

"Ibu, can I go to the space? I want to see the moon and stars." 

The sun flare seemed to appear alike an idea-bulb on you. Strength, good for you, baby! You are becoming braver each day. I am so proud of you. If exploring the moon and the stars is what you really want to do. I will let you. As long as you are happy. I will still love you.

Betapa keberuntungan itu dapat Mama rasakan saat melihat permandangan yang biasa-biasa dan serba sederhana seperti ini. Kisah panjang di sebalik gambar ini telah dapat mama coretkan di sini. Bersyukurlah anak, kerna segala yang kita ada ini adalah satu Anugerah.

Week 24 | BIRDS EYE VIEW (7-13 June)

Zubye Rusli

"Birds eye view" interpretasiku.

Chech 

You are not a bookworm, not yet, but, if there is a title on the shelf that awakens your curiosity, like this particular Jurassic Poop, not even a flying pterodactyl could swerve your attention from those pages.

Izlynne

"Don't worry, sayang. Ayah has bird's eye view on you. I will hold you and take care of you."

I guess, that would be what was written in my husband's mind. How I would interprete it.

Nish Halim

Linda Latip

My favourite view.

Milin Kassim

Oh, imagine the places you will go.

Flying up high, like a bird.

Oh, imagine all the beautiful sights.

You will get to see, looking down.

No, you're not in an air-plane,

or riding a hot air balloon.

But you are truly, truly flying,

Like a bird.

Or perhaps like the (imaginary) superman.

Flying up, and down.

Above the seas, through the valleys.

Feeling the smooth blowing of the wind,

onto your face.

The smell of the fresh air.

Oh, will that day come?

When you finally get to really fly.

Far-fetched it seems,

 in this temporary world.

But don't stop dreaming. 

For the hereafter,

awaits you.

Without a doubt.

So promise?

You do good, 

And above all,

Trust and obey the One who creates you.

For indeed His promise is TRUE.

"They will have there all that their hearts desire and in which their eyes find delight. 

You will remain in it timelessly, forever, " (Quran, 43 : 71)

Week 23 | HOW HIGH CAN YOU GO? (31 May - 6 June)

Izlynne

If you said "Jump!" I'd say "How high?"
If you said "Run!" I'd run and fly
Just for the chance
Just for the moment
Should the moment pass us by
and if you ask once I'll tell you twice
I'll ignore the world's advice
if we could be together
for a while

Lantaran kentalnya jiwa, azam memuncak berlumba-lumba, hati dipadu kuat dan padat, maka langit pun tidak bisa menjadi limit tingginya cita-cita.

It was a hot day, and after a very tiring journey on foot - in a town you are so unfamiliar with. So what do you do?

Board a train back and read a comic you just bought :)

The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.” ― Dr Seuss.

Yup, you can even reach the clouds - and enjoy the chill - if you want to when your nose is always smurfing for books ;)

On the other note, I tried something different when photographing this time.  For the fun of it. Hiked up the ISO to 3200 and set the aperture to f/11. In a broad daylight, inside a train coach. Definitely something I rarely do, especially the ISO part. Hey, it was awesome to try out something out of your norms once in a while!

Hatimu murni bak danau suci. Langkahmu kau hayunkan seluas samudera. Ke mana jauh kau pergi, benua mana pun kau teroka, budimu mesti kau pasakkan ke dalam jiwa.

Dear Nur Jannah,

You are now in the most beautiful part of the Universe.
Roaming freely in a Garden so enchanting.
Would we be joining you?
Would we get to finally be among the ones,
"whose faces, that day, will be glowing. Looking towards their Lord." (Quran 75: 22-23)
We are still here, trapped on this Earth.
Longing to see you.
But sometimes we got slipped away,
being pulled by this worldly life.
Forgetting what is important.
Then, He pull us back to His path
Our knees fall down to the earth,
Our head prostrating,
submitting to the One and Only.
Then, we slip again,
And He brought us back again,
in tears repenting to Allah.
No matter how many times we slip
I pray
that we never lose hope of His Mercy.
That Allah forgive our sins, purify our hearts,
Giving us a beautiful ending in this Life,
Returning to Him as Husnul Khoatimah.
And that we finally be reunited,
little one
For eternity.
Ameen.

Week 21 | IQRA' (17-23 May)

Surah Al-'Alaq (The Clot)

Recite with the name of your Lord Who created,

He made man from the clot of blood,

Recite, for your Lord is the Most Generous,

Who taught writing by the pen.

Taught man what not.

Yes, undoubtedly, man transgresses.

Because, he thought himself self-sufficient.

Undoubtedly, unto your Lord is the return. Taught man what he knew

Well, you see him who forbids

A bondman of Ours when he offers prayer.

well, you see if he would have been on guidance,

Or he would have commanded piety, what a good thing it had been.

Well you see, if he belied and turned back, then what would be his condition.

Did he not know that Allah is seeing?

Yes, if he desisted not, We will assuredly drag him by catching his forelock hairs.

forelock of what type, lying, sinful.

Now let him call his association

Just now We call Our guards.

Yes, hear him not and prostrate and draw near to Us.

Nish Halim

Al A'la (The Most High) is your all time favorite surah. The first ever long surah you memorized when you were 9. The one which always excites you whenever the Imam recites; simply because you can tag along. Yet, there are still many more that we need to understand and memorize. Reading alone is not enough. For The Quran is not a book of SCIENCE, my dearest son. It is the ultimate book of SIGNS. 

Linda Latip

One of her favourite now.

Week 20 | HERO (10-16 May)

Chech

Khalish, when I was your age, one of my favourite television series was The Incredible Hulk. The idea of a scientist whose temperament and appearance were affected by a failed experiment was simply amusing to a child. But then again, my seven-year-old self was easily amused with everything.

Years later, came The Avengers. I have entered my 30's at that time. Superheroes did not give me the same excitement any longer. Until I found out that one of the characters in the aforementioned movie was The Incredible Hulk. Exclamation marks. After all, I was reminded of my childhood character. I also remembered the real reason of my admiration towards Hulk. It was the way he overcame challenges in life. 

Unlike in 2012, I was not able to join daddy and you to watch Avengers: Age of Ultron this year. Knowing how I missed Hulk, you entertained me by re-enacting the scenes from the movie. Never mind the forgotten script. I preferred your version. The aisle of the toy shop was more interesting than the cinema, too. 

At the end of your performance, you gave me a look. Your eyes were fierce behind the mask. "I am truly sad, truly mad to go now, but I know we will see each other again."

Nish Halim

What makes Superman a hero is not that he has power, but that he has the wisdom and the maturity to use the power wisely. Seeing how you have endured your school years (so far) in this challenging land, I must say you are a Superman yourself. Keep it sincere and always reach out to help others okay?That's a super power that will win you in the world herein and hereafter.

As much as you look up to me - when you need me to spread the butter on your bread, when you need me to unzip your uniform, when you need me to mend your broken toys, when you need me to feed you - as if I am the only hero who could save you; as much of that I break down and cry. How can someone so imperfect as me, be the 'hero' of these three little person? 

The truth is, YOU are the actual hero because without you needing me, I won't be able to do what you ask me to do. Without you requesting me, I might not know the solutions to even half of the problem that you need my help with. 

To my heroes - Hope, Strength and Faith. Thank you for saving me.

Kenapa hero? Sebab tiap kalinya Abah tiada di rumah, kamu menawarkan diri untuk 'menjaga' mama tika malam datang, kita tidur sama-sama. Kan semangat pahlawan nampaknya itu?
