Delaying Hajj

‘Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) once remarked: 

“I was about to send envoys to the towns (on the outskirts of the Muslim empire) to check on 

all those who have the means to make Hajj but do not perform it, in order to impose the Jizyah[1] upon them."[2]

The auspicious Hajj trip is one of the five pillars on Islam, a onetime obligation upon those have the ability to perform it. Every year millions of devout Muslims answer the call to Hajj following in the footsteps of the Prophet (peace be upon him) in answering the call of their father Abraham. 

Unfortunately, many people delay performing the Hajj until the latter part of their lives simply because of convenience. They wish to postpone the trip until they feel they are financially ‘stable’. Some people hold back out of fear of a new Islamic lifestyle they will be obligated to embrace when they return - one should never fear drawing closer to God. Indeed the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 

“Hurry to perform Hajj (the obligatory one), as none of you knows what may happen to him”[3] and “Whoever wants to do Hajj, let him hasten to do so.”[4] 

There is of course a well-known scholarly difference of opinion as to whether Hajj is an obligation that must be executed promptly, or, can be delayed. According to scholars who hold the opinion that the obligation of the Hajj is one of promptness; the Hajj must be carried out as soon as all the preconditions are fulfilled and one cannot delay performing it for the next year. The one who delays the performance of Hajj, even though he has the means to perform it, and then dies, is sinful and has left himself open to the punishment and displeasure of Allah in the Hereafter. 

Others opine that the Hajj may be delayed because the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) choose to perform Hajj in the 10 AH - around four years after the obligation was revealed. This school has other supporting arguments for which there exist counter arguments. Without wanting to endorse one opinion over another, I would like to place the legal difference of opinion to one side and draw our attention to a few other points. Allah the Almighty encourages His servants to compete with each other in performing virtuous deeds. 

He says in one verse, 

“Race each other to forgiveness from your Lord and a Garden as wide as the heavens and the earth, 

prepared for the people who have taqwa.” 

And in another verse, 

“Race each other to forgiveness from your Lord and to a Garden, whose breadth is like that of heaven and earth combined,made ready for those who have faith in Allah and His Messengers. That is Allah’s favour which He gives to those He wills. Allah’s favour is indeed immense.” 

Why would one delay the prospect of performing a Hajj mabroor, the accepted Hajj, the reward of which is nothing less than the gardens of paradise? 

This is your chance to have all of your sins forgiven as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever performs Hajj to this house - Ka’bah - and does not commit any obscenity and wrongdoing, he, or she, will come out as the day he, or she, was born – pure and free from sins.”[5]

From another perspective the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) is reported to have said: “Hurry to perform Hajj, as none of you knows what may happen to him.” It is as if the Prophet is telling us to think about the matter in a rational way. If someone who has the ability to perform the Hajj delays it; do they not fear that death may catch them up and they then meet Allah with no Hajj to their account? 

The reality is that many do delay Hajj until it’s too late. As the years pass by some of them fall sick with debilitating conditions, others become financially stricken and so the great opportunity is lost. 

I would thus appeal to all Muslims who know that they can perform Hajj without great difficulty to do so before they lose this unique chance of attaining complete forgiveness for their sins and be granted paradise.

Psykologi Cinta

Anda mengetahui yang anda merindui seseorang
apabila jantung anda berdegup pantas ketika teringatkan dia.
Dan walaupun sekadar "Hai" daripada dia mencukupi sebagai penenang.

Anda mungkin menaruh hati kepadanya, 
cuma anda tidak menyedarinya ataupun anda tidak mahu menerimanya sebagai kenyataan.

Jangan jadi terlalu baik, saya akan merindui kamu.
Jangan terlalu mengambil berat, saya mungkin menyukai kamu.
Jangan jadi terlalu 'sweet', saya mungkin jatuh hati kepada kamu.
Amat sukar untuk saya menyayangi kamu jika kamu tidak mahu membalasnya.

Seseorang yang membuat kamu jatuh hati kepadanya 
sebenarnya menyayangi kamu lebih daripada kamu menyayangi dia.

Jika seseorang hadir dalam hidup kamu dan menjadi
sebahagian daripada kamu, tetapi atas sebab tertentu
dia terpaksa pergi, jangan terlalu sedih ... terimalah
kenyataan itu dan sekurang2nya dia pernah
membahagiakan kamu.

Masa akan menentukan segalanya, jika dia ditakdirkan
bersama anda, dia akan kembali.

Jangan melarikan diri dari 'cinta' apabila ia berada
di hadapan kamu, Jangan melarikan diri daripadanya
kerana suatu hari nanti, kamu pasti akan
teringatkannya kembali dan menyesali perbuatan kamu
itu.

Hargai orang yang menyayangi kamu, bukan mudah untuk
mencari orang yang menyayangi kita. yang paling
berharga ialah hati yang ikhlas.

Penyesalan terbesar dalam hidup ialah risiko yang kita
tidak ambil. Jika anda merasakan sesuatu itu akan
membuatkan anda bahagia, maka teruskan. Ingatlah
bahawa kita akan melalui semua ini hanya sekali,
mungkin tiada lagi peluang kedua.

Masa tidak menunggu kita. Jika anda rasakan anda telah
bertemu dengan orang yg sesuai, maka hargailah dia,
jangan biarkan dia berlalu begitu sahaja. Jangan
bertangguh kerana takut. Cubalah dahulu atau anda akan
menyesal kerana membiarkan ia berlalu begitu sahaja.
Tiada sesiapapun yang tahu apakah yang membuatkan anda
benar2 bahagia.

Ada 2 titis air mata mengalir di sebuah sungai. Satu
titis air mata tu menyapa air mata yg satu lagi, "Saya
air mata seorang gadis yang menyayangi seorang lelaki
tetapi telah kehilangannya. Siapa kamu pula?". Jawab
titis air mata kedua tu, "Saya air mata seorang lelaki
yang menyesal membiarkan seorang gadis yg menyayangi
saya berlalu begitu sahaja."

Tiada sesiapapun yang simpati kepada orang yang
sengaja membiarkan peluang pergi begitu sahaja tanpa
berusaha untuk mendapatkannyaatau mempertahankannya.
Kita selalunya tidak menghargai seseorang yang hampir
atau menyayangi kita sehingga dia pergi meninggalkan
kita; kemudian kita akan sedih dan menyesal
mengingatkannya.

Terdapat banyak bebintang di langit tetapi hanya satu
sahaja yang begitu menyerlah sehingga dapat menarik
perhatian anda. Dari kalangan yang anda pilih untuk
abaikan ialah sebutir bintang yang sanggup menyinari
anda walau diamana sahaja anda berada.

Bahagian 1: orang yang bersama anda ketika ini mungkin
bukanlah orang yang benar2 anda sayangi.
Bahagian 2: terdapat orang yang tahu dia tidak dapat
bersama kamu ketika ini tetapi masih menyayangi kamu
sepenuh hatinya, fikirkanlah.

Lawaknya bila kita meletakkan standard untuk orang yg
bakal kita sayangi, tetapi jauh di sudut hati, kita
tahu yang orang yg kita sayangi itu terkecuali
daripada standard itu. (don't be too choosy!)

Kita amat kritikal terutamanya kepada orang yg kita
sukai atau sayangi kerana kita mahukan yang terbaik
untuk diri kita. Tetapi sebenarnya kesempurnaan dan
hubungan terbaik dapat dicapai dengan berusaha
bersama. Ia bukanlah terletak kepada satu individu
sahaja.

Cinta itu membuatkan anda gembira walaupun ia sering
melukakan. Cinta itu istimewa jika ia diberikan kepada
orang yg bertuah.

Jika anda bertemu seseorang yang benar2 menghargai
anda, maka dia berhak mendapat kasih anda.

Menyayangi/mencintai itu umpama bermain piano.
pertama, kita bermain ikut peraturannya. Kemudian,
lupakan peraturannya dan main ikut hati.

Kepercayaan terhadap pasangan adalah amat penting.
Untuk mempercayai seseorang yang anda sayang/cintai, anda
mestilah membuat dia mempercayai anda dahulu. Yakin
terhadap diri sendiri dan pasangan anda. Jangan buat
mereka ragu-ragu terhadap anda dan jangan ragu-ragu
terhadap mereka.

Apa kata seseorang memberitahu anda ini " saya tidak
percaya dengan courtship (mendapatkan perhatian bagi
memenangi seseorang). Ia cuma membuang masa
sahaja.Jika saya mencintai seseorang, maka saya akan
meluahkan isi hati saya kepadanya. Tetapi, ada pula
pengecualian bagi anda, jika anda mencintai saya,
sayaakan'court'(sentiasa cuba memenangi) anda
selamanya... "

Cinta itu memerlukan masa untuk disedari kehadirannya.
terdapat cinta pandang pertama, tetapi ia masih
memerlukan masa bagi pihak satu lagi menyedarinya.
Merinduinya apabila dia tiada di sisi, mengharapkan
berita daripadanya apabila berjauhan...

Adalah lebih baik untuk berani mencintai walaupun
akhirnya anda kecewa daripada tidak mahu mencintai
kerana takutkan risiko atau cabaran yang bakal
mendatang.

Jangan berputus asa apabila terdapat saingan dalam
percintaan. Adalah lebih baik untuk anda mencubanya
terlebih dahulu; kerana jika anda berjaya,
kemenangannya itu teramat manis. Tetapi, jika anda
tidak mahu/berani mencubanya,anda mungkin akan
kehilangan orang yang anda sayang/cintai selamanya.

Anda tidak pernah kalah/kecewa dalam
mencintai/menyayangi. Anda cuma kalah jika anda
bertangguh

Jangan takut untuk meluahkan isi hati anda kepada
orang yang anda sayang/cintai. Beritahu mereka dan
biar mereka buat keputusan di pihak mereka. Salah satu
perkara yang paling indah dalam hidup ialah
memberitahu kepada orang yang anda sayangi betapa
penting dan istimewanya mereka dalam hidup anda.
Dengan itu, anda akan merasa lebih yakin dan puas. Dan
anda akan rasa bangga terhadap diri anda kerana anda
telah menunaikan tanggungjawab anda terhadap perasaan
hati anda.

Jangan sesekali mengkhianati perasaan hati anda kerana
akibatnya hanya anda yang akan sengsara; bukan orang
lain. Salah satu cabaran paling sukar dalam hidup
ialah mencari orang yang tahu segala kelemahan dan
kekurangan diri anda, tetapi dia masih sangup
menyayangi anda dengan sepenuh hatinya.

Cinta itu adalah berasaskan tolak ansur dan
pengorbanan. jika dia tahu kelemahan dan kekurangan
anda dan masih sanggup bersama anda dan lebih
menyayangi anda, maka andalah orang yang paling
bertuah! Dia layakmendapat cinta anda.

Ruang kosong di antara celah-celah jari kita dicipta
untuk dipenuhi oleh jari-jari orang lain.

Bukalah pintu hati anda, benarkan orang yang anda
sayangi masuk, jangan ragui tujuan mereka kerana
keikhlasan itu dapat dirasai dalam hati.

Dalam percintaan, terdapat beberapa perkara yang perlu
disedari. Apabila anda bercinta... ... Ia bukan
'passport' untuk anda difahami; tetapi untuk anda
memahami. Ia bukan 'passport' untuk anda mengambil itu
dan ini; tetapi untuk anda diambil. Ia adalah untuk
anda mendengar;bukan supaya anda didengar. Ia adalah
untuk anda berkorban dan bertolak ansur; bukan untuk
anda meminta itu dan ini. Ia bukan untuk anda berkira2
atau mengukur; tetapi untuk anda mencintai

Carrots, Eggs, And Coffee Beans

A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things have been so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and she wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that just as one problem was solved another arose. 

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen, filled three pots with water and placed the fire on high. Soon the three pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the other he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word. 

The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently wondered what he was trying to do. She had problems, and he was making this strange concoction. In half an hour he walked over to the oven and turned down the fire. He pulled the carrots out and placed them in the bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in the bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a bowl. 

Turning to her he asked. “Darling what do you see,” 

Smartly, she replied. “Carrots, eggs, and coffee.” 

He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. Her face frowned from the strength of the coffee. 

Humbly, she asked. “What does it mean Father?” 

He explained. “Each of them faced the same adversity, 212 degrees of boiling water. However each reacted differently.” 

“The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But after going through boiling water, it softened and became weak.” 

“The egg was fragile. A thin outer shell protected a liquid center. But after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.” 

“The coffee beans are unique however. After they were in the boiling water, it became stronger and richer.” 

"Which are you,” he asked his daughter. 

When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? 

Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean? 

Are you the carrot that seems hard, but with the smallest amount of pain, adversity, heat you wilt 

and become soft with no strength? 

Are you the egg, which starts off with a malleable heart? A fluid spirit. But after a death, a layoff, etc you became hardened and stiff. Your shell looks the same, but you are so bitter and tough with a stiff spirit and heart, internally. 

Or are you like the coffee bean? The bean does not get its peak flavor and robust until it reaches 212 degrees Fahrenheit.When the water gets the hottest, it just tastes better. When things are there worst, you get better. When people talk the most, your praises increase. When the hour is the darkest, trials are their greatest, your worship elevates to another level. 

How do you handle adversity? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

Jangan Mencari Terlalu Sempurna

Jika kamu memancing ikan....
Setelah ikan itu terlekat di mata kail, hendaklah kamu mengambil ikan itu....
Janganlah sesekali kamu LEPASKAN ia semula ke dalam air begitu saja....
Karena ia akan SAKIT oleh kerana bisanya ketajaman mata kailmu dan mungkin ia akan MENDERITA selagi ia masih hidup.

Begitulah juga .........
Setelah kamu memberi banyak PENGHARAPAN kepada seseorang....
Setelah ia mulai MENYAYANGIMU hendaklah kamu MENJAGA hatinya....
Janganlah sesekali kamu meninggalkannya begitu saja....
Kerana dia akan TERLUKA oleh kenangan bersamamu dan mungkin TIDAK dapat MELUPAKAN segalanya selagi dia mengingatimu....

Jika kamu menadah air biarlah berpada, jangan terlalu mengharap pada takungannya dan janganlah menganggap ia begitu teguh.... cukuplah sekadar keperluanmu....
Apabila sekali ia retak.... tentu sukar untuk kamu menambalnya semula....
Akhirnya ia dibuang....
Sedangkan jika kamu cuba memperbaikinya mungkin ia masih dapat dipergunakan lagi....

Begitu juga jika kamu memiliki seseorang, TERIMALAH seadanya....
Janganlah kamu terlalu mengaguminya dan janganlah kamu menganggapnya begitu istimewa....
Anggaplah dia manusia biasa. Apabila sekali dia melakukan KESILAPAN bukan mudah bagi kamu untuk menerimanya....
akhirnya kamu KECEWA dan meninggalkannya.
Sedangkan jika kamu MEMAAFKANNYA boleh jadi hubungan kamu akan TERUS hingga ke akhirnya....

Jika kamu telah memiliki sepinggan nasi...
yang kamu pasti baik untuk dirimu. Mengenyangkan. Berkhasiat. Mengapa kamu berlengah, cuba mencari makanan yang lain..
Terlalu ingin mengejar kelazatan. Kelak, nasi itu akan basi dan kamu tidak boleh memakannya..
Kamu akan menyesal.

Begitu juga jika kamu telah bertemu dengan seorang insan......
yang pasti membawa KEBAIKAN kepada dirimu. MENYAYANGIMU... MENGASIHIMU...
Mengapa kamu berlengah, cuba MEMBANDINGKANNYA dengan yang lain.
Terlalu mengejar kesempurnaan.
Kelak, kamu akan KEHILANGANNYA apabila dia menjadi milik orang lain
Kamu juga yang akan MENYESAL....

My Wife DOES NOT WORK !!!

Conversation between a Husband (H) and a Psychologist (P):

P : What do you do for a living Mr. Bandy?
H : I work as an Accountant in a Bank.

P : Your Wife ?
H : She doesn't work. She's a Housewife only.

P : Who makes breakfast for your family in the morning?
H : My Wife, because she doesn't work.

P : At what time does your wife wake up for making breakfast?
H : She wakes up at around 5 am because she cleans the house first before making breakfast.

P : How do your kids go to school?
H : My wife takes them to school, because she doesn't work.

P : After taking your kids to school, what does she do?
H : She goes to the market, then goes back home for cooking and laundry. You know, she doesn't work.

P : In the evening, after you go back home from office, what do you do?
H : Take rest, because i'm tired due to all day works.

P : What does your wife do then?
H : She prepares meals, serving our kids, preparing meals for me and cleaning the dishes, cleaning the house then taking kids to bed.

Whom do you think works more, from the story above???

The daily routines of your wives commence from early morning to late night. That is called 'DOESN'T WORK'??!!

Yes, Being Housewives do not need Certificate of Study, even High Position, but their ROLE/PART is very important!

Appreciate your wives. Because their sacrifices are uncountable. This should be a reminder and reflection for all of us to understand and appreciate each others roles.

All about a WOMAN ....

• When she is quiet, millions of things are running in her mind.
• When she stares at you, she is wondering why she loves you so much in spite of being taken for granted.
• When she says I will stand by you, she will stand by you like a rock.

Never hurt her or take her wrong or for granted...

Sincere Repentance – A Sure Path to Forgiveness

We all make mistakes in our lives and we all commit sins.

We are all human and sometimes tend to lose the path for a while. What do we do when we realise we were wrong?

How do we ensure that our repentance is sincere, consistent and successful?

There are four main steps one must take to repent: 

1.        Stop the sin. 

2.        Regret deeply and truly for the sin you committed. 

3.        Return to Allah (glorified and exalted be He) for forgiveness. 

4.        Make a strong intention never to return to that same sin again.

There is also a fifth step:

If the sin involved infringing on the rights of other people, then one must return the infringed rights back to the individual to whom they belong.

However, many people find that their repentance begins strong, but then slowly they get weaker and fall back into committing the sin only a short while later. So, to ensure that we stay true to our repentance and keep our promises to Allah (glorified and exalted be He), here are some tips that may help us:

Believe that Allah (glorified and exalted be He) is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful

You hear many people say “there’s no point in stopping my sin because I’ve wronged so much I don’t deserve God’s forgiveness, He’ll never forgive me.” If you are one of those people then STOP RIGHT THERE!

How can you think that way, when Allah (glorified and exalted be He) says in the Holy Qur’an over and over again that He is All-Forgiving and Most Compassionate? How can you lose faith in Allah’s (glorified and exalted be He) mercy? He created you and He knows your weaknesses and your faults. Everyone in the world makes mistakes, what makes you the best, is if you turn to Allah (glorified and exalted be He) and beg for forgiveness.

Here are only a couple of the many examples where Allah (glorified and exalted be He) mentions in the Qur’an, His love for those who repent and promises to forgive with mercy and compassion.

“And seek forgiveness of Allah. Indeed Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.” [Qur’an: Chapter 73, Verse 20]

“And whoever does a wrong or wrongs himself but then seeks forgiveness will find Allah Forgiving and Merciful.” [Qur’an: Chapter 4, Verse 110]

We must never think that Allah (glorified and exalted be He) will not forgive us. Repent with sincerity and remember that Allah (glorified and exalted be He) loves His servants and Allah (glorified and exalted be He) will accept your repentance.

Pinpoint the Source of Your Sin

There are many types of sins. No matter how big or small a sin is, once we decide to give it up and want to successfully repent to Allah (glorified and exalted be He), it is of utmost importance for us to locate the main source of this sin and keep away from it to the best of our ability. The source may be a friend, a certain place that you go to sitting, at your computer alone or watching tv alone. If the sin is related to the computer or the TV or other such appliances, we should not eliminate them completely from our lives. Instead we should try to find a way that helps us use these resources for good rather than evil. It is always good to try and have people around you when using these resources so that you feel stronger and surround yourself with people who remind you to stay on the right path, for it is always easy to stray when alone and vulnerable.

If you find that the source of the sin is a friend, then you should cut ties with this friend. It will not always be an easy task. However if it must be done, then do it for the sake of Allah (glorified and exalted be He) and He shall reward you immensely for it In sha Allah.

If the sin is more like missing prayers or not fasting in Ramadan, we may try to pinpoint the reason we commit the sin. It may be, that your mind is occupied with other things which are distracting you from the fundamental worship of Allah (glorified and exalted be He). In this case we should try to eliminate these distractions from our lives or try to organise our time to sustain balanced lives which include our worship in our daily lives.

Rally Your Support Team

The people around you have a huge impact on the way you behave. At a time when you want to repent to Allah (glorified and exalted be He) and you sincerely feel bad about the sins that you have committed, you don’t want to be alone. You may find that your family can be a HUGE support for you at times like this. They can remind you of what you are trying to do. They will listen to you and support you through all your struggles to give up your sin.

Friends are also really important. I cannot stress enough how important it is to choose your friends wisely. Peer pressure IS real. Even if you think that you are strong and you will not fall again, your friends can pressure you into returning to what you used to do.

Your friends should be those who support you in whatever you do and better yet, they join you and work with you towards the goal of becoming a better person. They encourage you to attend lectures and workshops, and join you in volunteering for good causes.

"The believing men and believing women are allies of one another. They enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and establish prayer and give zakah and obey Allah and His Messenger." [Qur'an: Chapter 9, Verse 71]

Most importantly, at times when you’re feeling weak and fear that you may go back to sinning, your friends should be there to help you get back up, steadfast and strong.

Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him) said, “The example of a good companion (who sits with you) in comparison with a bad one, is like that of the musk seller and the blacksmith’s bellows (or furnace); from the first you would either buy musk or enjoy its good smell while the bellows would either burn your clothes or your house, or you get a bad nasty smell thereof.” [Bukhari]

You could find good company by becoming a regular at your local mosque and socialising with the people you meet there. You can also attend public lectures to find like-minded friends. You are guaranteed to find practicing Muslims who are willing to be part of your support system. Even in your own home, be open with your family – mother, father, siblings or spouse – about the changes you want to make in your life and ask for their help!

Stay Connected

The last and final point stresses on how important it is for you to stay connected with Islam and the Muslim Ummah. It is very uplifting for the soul when you are surrounded by Muslims seeking knowledge together and worshipping together. Make an effort to visit the mosque regularly and attend Islamic lectures and workshops. Keeping yourself busy with useful Islamic events and surrounded with the Islamic community takes your mind off the worldly things, which may trigger your urge to commit the sin once more.

Staying connected also helps your connection to Allah (glorified and exalted be He). Reading the Qur’an regularly and performing your prayers on time, including the sunnah prayers, keeps the connection lines between yourself and Allah (glorified and exalted be He) strong.

Once you feel that Islam encompasses all parts of your life and that you are truly close to Allah (glorified and exalted be He), it will be hard for syaitan to drag you back to your old sins. However, always remember to continuously keep asking Allah (glorified and exalted be He) for guidance and protection. Keep asking for His forgiveness as He is the Most Forgiving, Most Merciful.

No matter what sins you have committed, there is always a way to repent and start afresh. Always have faith in Allah (glorified and exalted be He), fear His wrath and love Him for His mercy. Surround yourself with as much support and motivation as you possibly can and keep your intentions clear. May Allah (glorified and exalted be He) support us all on our journey through the right path AMEEN!

Lelaki Idaman

Pertama kali kita bersua, hati yang masih jahil berbisik,
Mengutuskan kau bukan pilihanku, Kau terlalu membosankan,
Aku memandangmu, dan pandanganku kesasar,
Kulihatmu seorang lelaki muda yang warak',
Kau baik namun kau pasti membosankan.

Kedua kali kita dipertemukan, hati yang mulai mengenal cahaya hidayah ketika itu,
Mulai tertarik pada cara kau membawa diri, menjunjung agamamu di atas kepala walau di negara asing,
Aku memandangmu, ada sesuatu di dalam dirimu yang aku kekurangan,
Kulihatmu seorang lelaki muda yang warak',
Kau pasti seorang yang baik, lebih baik dari ramai orang.

Kali ketiga kita dipertemukan, Disatu majlis ilmu hatiku ketika itu semakin mengenal Rabb.
Aku kagum bila diperlihatkan banyaknya ilmu agama yang kau ketahui, semangatmu yang bekobar,
Hatiku tersentuh, tak ramai lelaki muda sepertimu,
Kulihatmu kini bukan sekadar seorang yang warak', kau seorang lelaki idaman,
Sungguh kau pasti yang terbaik diantara yang terbaik,

Dalam diam malam aku berdoa, semoga kita dipertemukan lagi,
Semoga Allah menjodohkan kita, Kerana aku mungkin takkan ketemu lelaki sebaikmu lagi,
Dan mungkin tak ramai yang mengerti, erti mencintai kerana Allah,
Aku mencari yang benar mengerti, dan yang ingin menuju syurgawi,
Kerana kau seorang lelaki yang warak', ciri itu yang aku cari sebagai seorang pendamping hidup.
