Salaamun ‘alaikum wa rahmatullaahi wa barakaatuh!!!
My dear GoodOldLovedBuddy,
May u always be in Allah’s protection…ameen!!!

I’m soO sorry cos I’ve not written to u as often as I did last month….
Been very very busy adapting to my hours @ home & @ school…as,
In I told u in my last letter,my schoolin hours are frm Asar til an hour & a half aft ‘isya’…my mornings are almost everyday filled with fighting my eyes,which if not fought,will tell me to curl up under my thick lihaaf(selimut)(sejuUk!!!)…
My nights(upon reaching home),are also filled with filling my tummy(dinner) & snuggling under my lihaaf…once again…u see??padanlah,before I went,Ust TM Fouzy said that one of the biggest challenges someone will face when he studies overseas is to feel sleepy always…haiz…lagi2 takde mak utk tengokkan that kt tak tido terlalu banyak or cepat…luv u mum!!!=>


Mujahadah……Sabar…..Tawakkal….sume dapat blaja,hamdanlilllaah…dat’s the best part about being studying overseas…thank u Allah!!!
Here,I finally get a bit more understandin of the ayat:
و لو أنما فى الأرض من شجرة أقلام والبحر يمده من سبعة أبحر ما نفدت كلمات الله إن الله عزيز حكيم
Kalimaatullaah in this ayat is explained as the things which show Allah’s hikmah and the greatness of His creations…..Knowledge of the religion can show Allah’s hikmah….and vast is this knowledge…there are soO many parts to it…the more one learns,the more he/she learns that he/she doesn’t know…..
For example,Syria is one of the places which is known for hadith studies,besides madinah….
I was delighted when one of my lecturers said that a great number of hadith scholars come from here,such as imam Nawawi & AlHaafiz AlMizzi…etc..
+ I now see clearly that there are too many things about Hadith Nabawi that I do not know!!!
The hadiths from my beloved prophet contain soO many stories which I have not known before which can help me in my life here & biiznillaah in the hereafter,
Whereas I’ve wasted 19 years in my life reading novels and the like which will not even help me @ dunia,what more in akhirat???!!!

May all of us berpegang kuat to Al-Quran & Sunnah always....

letter raqm lima...

salam...
dear GoodOldLovedBuddy,

its been quite a while since i last wrote to u....
i've been quite busy these past two weeks...(maklumlah,da start skola!
finally!!!...)
hehe,,,...
school here is very very different frm school in s'pore...
when i say i study in a university...images of studyin in big halls come to mind(at least my mind,back when i was younger)...((influenced by tv..hehe)...
tapi rupenye...blaja kat small classroom...atas kerusi kayu...meja kayu...3 org squeezed atas satu bench...dukturah ckp arab full....dengar org2 bising2 kat luar(my classroom is near the toilets)....rase sun shining frm the window.....start skola @ 2.30 pm...dengar azan asar(2.20pm),maghrib(4.45pm),'isya(6pm) while studying....balik skola da gelap gelita...hehe...fun!!!
mane lagi in s'pore can i get all this???

anyway,my usuluddin class is not that big(abt 50ppl) cos this is the first time usuluddin is opened for foreigners in syria...
the great thing is that,we have many lecturers who themselves wrote the books they are teaching!!!so,they are familiar 100% wit its contents...best kan???hehe...

so far,onlyone of the lecturers speaks 'ammiyyah...this means,the rest speak fluent arabic
...when,oh,when,will i be able to speak like them???

in my class,there are 7 malaysians,2 s'poreans, n 2 somalians...the rest are syrians...so,hamdanlillaah,dapat jugak practice arabis with them...
one syrian even told me that if i speak malay(kadang2 tercakap melayu dgn budak malaysia),they will speak 'ammiyyah,so i can't understand!!hmmphh!!!hehe...but this's for the better...

overall:I ENJOY SCHOOL!!!hamdanlillaah...
I LOOK FORWARD TO IT EVERYDAY!!!
I PRAY TO ALLAH THIS WILL CONTINUE...
walau macam mane pon,i have to have a lot of patience,cos as many the things here that i like,
that many too,i find different from in s'pore & i have to get used too...
but well,its all in a day's strive to get Allah's hubb...
i learnt this great saying from an anisah,maashaa Allah:

كاذب فى دعوى : من شكا ضرب مولاه
كاذب فى دعوى: من أحس ضرب مولاه
كاذب فى دعوى:من لم يتلذذ بضرب مولاه
Berbohong dalam dakwaan(cinta) : sesiapa yg mengadu pukulan kekasihnya
Berbohong dalam dakwaan(cinta) :Sesiapa yg merasakan pukulan kekasihnya
Berbohong dalam dakwaan(cinta) :Sesiapa yg tak berlazat-lazat dengan pukulan kekasihnya

this saying is soO nice(to me!!)
the third line denotes the highest degree of patience.
the 1st line denotes the lowest....& i don't even noe if i can be catyegorized here!!!
subhaanaallaah,,,Allaahummaj 'alnaa minassobiriin was-sobiraat!!!=>

k,la...i'm runnmin' late for school(the journey's quite long)...
till the next risaalah,
ma'assalaamah!!!
