Le Meridian Hotel, Kota Kinbalu

 (view from the hotel room in the afternoon)

.(view at dawn)

I am still in hospital....waiting for the good doctor to see me before I could finally leave the hospital.  So, while waiting for him, might as well update my blog.

The above  two pictures were taken from my hotel room, when I was on holiday with daughter, Siti Sofiyah.  We stayed at Le Meridian, Kota Kinabalu.  A very nice five star hotel.  The Filipino market was just across the road.  Sofiyah and I walked all the way to the Jesselton jetty from the hotel when we wanted to go for a swim at Pulau Manukan and Pulau Mamutik.  Visit www.sabahtourism.com/

My broken little toe....




X ray of my 4th toe which had the screw and metal plate embedded.... Alhamdullilah, the surgery went well. Now...road to recovery.... O Allah, please let me have a speedy recovery, Amiinn.



Ayat yg didakwa SERIBU DINAR tak sesuai dibaca dlm solat....


Mlm tadi naik bas balik KB utk ziarah ibu...singgah solat di Merapuh. Solat kami diimamkan seorang Ustaz Senior (60an). Beliau baca ayat SERIBU (sikitnya??? Kenapa bukan SE-TRILLION) DINAR..lps solat saya tegur...ayat itu tak sesuai dibaca dlm solat sebab ia tidak lengkap diambil dr ayat 2-3 surah al-Talaq. Rujuk gambar page surah yg saya sertakan...

Boleh tak kalau saya baca dlm solat BISMILLAH...RABBIL 'ALAMIN & tak ambik dr awal ayat??

* masa kls Tafsir (surah al-Talaq) dgn Dr. Abdul Hayei di UM tahun 1997, saya tanya beliau: Ustaz! Betul ke ini ayat seribu dinar? Beliau jawab dgn TEGAS: Haih!! MENGARUT semua tu..

Broke 4th little toe.....

 (after placing the cast...looks soooo bad..)

(a gift from the hospital management)






Last February I broke my little toe on my right foot.... Then, last Tuesday morning 26th November, I broke my 4th little toe, next to the little toe, on my right foot again.  Two broken little toes in a year?? 

I had breakfast with laling hubby, my favourite nasi kerabu, at our favourite kelantanese restaurant in Cheras, that Tuesday morning.  Then, when we returned home, Sofiyah was waiting for me to take her to Kajang town to repair her wrist watch.  Its strap was broken.  Since I was already wearing my jubah, I went to the side cupboard to get the car keys, when suddenly my right foot banged into the sofa's metal leg.  There was a sharp pain on my right foot and I sat on the floor, grabbing my right foot trying to ease the pain.  Sofiyah came to my aid.  I was holding back my tears...it was so painful.




I called my daughter, Siti Ayeshah, to take me to Klinik Kita at Saujana Impian.  The doctor took an Xray of my right foot and it was confirmed that my fourth toe was indeed broken.  She issued a letter for the orthopedic surgeon at Kpj Kajang.  Since Dr Loo, who operated on my little toe last February, was on leave, and Dr Mazlan was at OT, I was referred to Dr Surendran.

The operation was scheduled at 4pm that day, but since, there was no hospital bed available, I was told to return at 10am the following day.  Thus I went home that evening.  My foot started to swell.  I began my fasting from 10pm, even though Dr Surendran said I could begin fasting at 6am.  Anyway, Siti Ayeshah and Sofiyah took me to Kpj Kajang that Wednesday morning.

At 1.30pm I was wheeled into the OT.  Alhamdullilah, I managed to solat Zuhur before the surgery.  I was given an LA with a nerve block.  I was told to sit up on the operating table, rest my hand on a pillow the nurses put beneath my jaw, shoulders dropped, and the anesthetist began her job.  I could not feel anything from the waist down.  I doze off during the surgery.  When I woke up, it was over.  

Hubby and my two daughters were waiting for me outside the OT.  I was then wheeled to my room S551A on the 5th floor.  When Dr Surendran visited me, he told me that my toe broke in two, so he had to insert two little screws and a metal plate to straighten it.  Well, lets hope whenever I had to fly, I will not trigger the alarm when going through the checkpoint at the airport.  I had a metal plate within me.....

ISLAM TERFITNAH KERANA PENGANUTNYA

ISLAM TERFITNAH KERANA PENGANUTNYA


Malam tadi Surau kami (Surau Nur al-Syura Bandar Baru Selayang Fasa 2B) dikunjungi Ustaz Bukhari Muhammad dari Gombak. Dalam kuliahnya beliau menceritakan kisah 2 pekerja yang berkerja di sebuah syarikat Cina terpaksa bergilir menunaikan solat Jumaat kerana ketuanya tidak memberikan izin mereka berdua keluar serentak. Atas saranan para ustaz mereka berdua berunding dengan ketua mereka agar mereka berdua diberikan kebenaran menunaikan solat Jumaat secara serentak pada setiap minggu. Mereka mengukuhkan alasan dengan mengatakan bahawa solat Jumaat adalah wajib bagi setiap orang Islam. Ketua mereka mempertikaikan alasan tersebut dengan katanya:

“Mengapa kamu berdua mengatakan ianya wajib? Kalau wajib kenapa hanya kamu berdua sahaja yang wajib? Kenapa saya biasa melihat orang MELAYU ISLAM selalu sahaja tidak pergi menunaikan solat Jumaat? Semasa solat Jumaat dilakukan mereka selalu saja berada di shopping complex, restoran dan sebaginya. Apa istimewanya kamu berdua sehingga diwajibkan solat Jumaat tetapi tidak mereka di luar sana yang tak pernah pun peduli solat Jumaat?”

Setelah mendengar kisah ini, segera saya teringat doa pengikut para nabi yang memohon agar mereka tidak menjadi fitnah terhadap agama Allah. Friman Allah ketika menceritakan kisah pengikut nabi Musa AS:


وَقَالَ مُوسَى يَا قَوْمِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ آَمَنْتُمْ بِاللَّهِ فَعَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلُوا إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُسْلِمِينَ (84) فَقَالُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْنَا رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِلْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ (85) وَنَجِّنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الْكَافِرِينَ (86)

Ertinya: Dan Nabi Musa pula berkata (kepada kaumnya): "Wahai kaumku! Kalau sungguh kamu beriman kepada Allah, maka hendaklah kamu berserah diri kepadaNya, jika betul kamu orang-orang Islam (yang berserah diri bulat-bulat kepada Allah)". Lalu mereka berkata: "Kepada Allah jualah kami berserah. Wahai Tuhan kami! Janganlah Engkau jadikan kami sasaran fitnah kesengsaraan bagi kaum yang zalim ganas. " Dan selamatkanlah kami dengan rahmatMu dari angkara kaum yang kafir" (Yunus[10:84-86]).


Juga doa para pengikut nabi Ibrahim AS:

رَبَّنَا لَا تَجْعَلْنَا فِتْنَةً لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا رَبَّنَا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ

Ertinya: "Wahai Tuhan kami! Janganlah Engkau jadikan kami sasaran fitnah (penindasan) orang-orang kafir, dan ampunkanlah dosa kami wahai Tuhan kami; sesungguhnya Engkaulah sahaja Yang Maha Kuasa, lagi Maha Bijaksana" (al-Mumtahanah[60:5]).


Ketika mentafsirkan ayat di atas, para ulama Tafsir (Tafsir Jalalayn & Ibn Kathir) menjelaskan maksud: “Jangan jadikan kami sasaran fitnah kaum yang kafir” dengan maksud: “Janganlah kalahkan kami kepada mereka sehingga mereka menyangka mereka berada dalam golongan yang benar.” Fenomena ini agak logik pada penilaian manusia biasa kerana biasanya golongan yang menang akan dianggap benar dan golongan yang selalu ditindas adalah golongan yang salah. Kita juga tak mahu kejahilan sesetengah orang Islam akan menyebabkan orang bukan Islam mendapat salah faham atau membenci agama ini.
