My wishlist - Butik Haleema (Klang), House of Muslimah Swimsuit

One of the thing that falls into my personal wishlist utk tahun ni is to buy a muslimah swimsuit. Like my entry last time, I dah pernah mention about this tapi sampai skrg masih tak berpeluang nak beli.

Beli nya tak beli-beli lagi, tapi dok mencarinya setiap hari. Hehehe... In the process of looking for the right muslimah swimming apparel, I bumped into a blog called 'House of Muslimah Swimsuit' and lately ni asek membelek je blog dia & facebook page dia. Mmg cantik swimsuits yang dijual disini dan menepati citarasa & expectation I.

Dan yang paling best, harganya jauh lebih murah dari swimsuits yang dijual di shopping malls. Sehelai swimsuit utk wanita hanya berharga lebih kurang RM150+ berbanding diluar sana yang menjualnya pada harga mencecah RM300. Come on lah, material nya semua sama dan tiada beza, in fact product di Butik Haleema lebih banyak variety & pilihan berbanding yang dijual di malls, tapi disebabkan kadar sewa kedai yang tinggi, mereka meletakkan harga yg lebih tinggi pada product, biasa lah tu...

The last time I went surveying at shopping malls was at Jusco Alpha Angel @ Wangsa Maju and oh gosh! Swimsuits tu takde brand pun & sangat nipis macam boleh koyak but the price? RM150, without tudung or cap.

But at Butik Haleema, bukan saja coraknya cantik2 dan pelbagai choices, but the apparels are also coming together with tudung and caps, so mana lebih murah?;-)

One of these days I gotta make sure to get myself one from Butik Haleema. My family-in-law went to their shop at Klang & they highly recommended it to me. My mother-in-law bought hers at Sogo which cost her almost RM300 but she recommended Butik Haleema to me. I just can't wait!

Rambang mata tengok swimsuits di web page mereka (hope get to visit the shop soon!).

This is one of my favourite, and if I were to wear it, i'm going to wear it like the first picture from the left ^_^ Baru lah muslimah sejati, cewah!

 Ni pun sweet :-)

Kalau u all berminat sila lah tengok2 di blogspot mereka & facebook page mereka ya! Mmg jauh kat Klang sana... Tapi encik suami wajib bawa saya ke sana someday! Umph! :-D

Haleema, here I come..........(at least I hope so :-P )

Baju renang muslimah

Lately, my family-in-laws suka pergi berenang & minat yang dah lama terkubur ni timbul semula. Previously masa diaorang pergi Pusat Akuatik Negara, Bukit Jalil, cuma my husband and his siblings jer mandi, me and my mother-in-law x mandi pun sbb takde baju renang. We both just sat at the bench and watched them enviously.

And guess what? she just recently bought a muslimah swimsuit for herself & that left me with none & i'm determine to get myself one too. X best lah nanti takde saper nk teman I duduk kat bench sbb mother-in-law pun dah start boleh mandi after this.

Apart from just being another one of aktiviti beriadah, swimming is also a good sport & exercise, so I berazam nak beli 1 swimsuit for myself, boleh jugak maintain kesihatan badan selain joining them, betul x? But up to this moment I still dont have time to buy one for myself.

Dkt market mmg byk muslimah swimsuits, but the question is, do they really cover your aurat? Look at this photos:

To me, both of these clothing do not cover the aurat properly. Apart from being too tight, her body shape & chest obviously shows. Baju mcm ni x layak pun dipanggil muslimah swimsuits. Baju yang ketat, kalau basah lagi lah nampak sexy. The designers & tukang jual pun tak fikir betul2 sebelum nak market baju2 ni.. Mmmm..

As a muslim women, ianya adalah menjadi kewajipan kita utk tutup aurat properly. So for me, I would opt for something like this:

    

Call me a closed-minded person, but I am happy with my thoughts. 'Cos to me, biar kita modest di depan Allah swt. Nak buat apa dengar cakap orang? Gilakan fesyen, dosa kita dapat. His reward is the one we should be aiming for the most. Syukur Alhamdulillah, my husband lah yang selalu encourage me utk tutup aurat properly & dress modestly. So, in terms of pencarian baju renang pun kena lah cari yang terbaik untuk kita muslimah kan kawan2? :-) InshaAllah...

These were an articles from Majalah MIDI & let's read them! :-) in the mean time, pls pray I'll get my muslimah swimming suits soon!

 

Bacaan Al-Quran & Zikrullah dari Mishaari Raashid Al-Aafaasee

Assalamualaikum my muslim brothers & sisters. U all pernah dengar tak bacaan Al- Quran dari Sheikh Mishaari? I believe each one of us, masing2 ada favourite reciter and *Qari masing2 kan? Apart from baca sendiri, mesti kita suka dengar bacaan orang lain especially from Qari tersohor. I rasa list of favourite  Quran reciter korang mostly mesti berasal dari negara Arab, betul tak? Sebab bacaan mereka sangat merdu dan tenang. Ye lah, itu kan mmg bahasa ibunda mereka, bacaan mereka pun lebih merdu berbanding yang lain. As for me, Sheikh Mishaari is my top most favourite *qari. And yes, he is from Arab; Kuwait to be exact.

Apart from reciting the Quran on my own, sometimes I love to just listen to the Qari melalui my mp3 player, my phone, or even through cd in my car. 

Qari is actually a person who recites the Qur'an with the proper rules of recitation. Bila kita dengar bacaan dari Qari, hati jadi tenang sangat dengan merdu nya bacaan mereka. Many a times I shed tears bila dengar Sheikh Mishaari recites the Quran. Terasa kebesaran Allah swt apabila mendengar baris-baris ayat yang dibacakan oleh beliau.

Baru2 ni I downloaded his Quran Mp3 & saved them in my Blackberry phone. I thought,  boleh lah nanti pasang earphone & dengar bacaan nya diwaktu lapang. I started to know about him while I was trying to search for Quran Mp3, and I bumped into this website called Quranic Audio. Ada banyak Qari lain di sana, and I happened to click his name. Alhamdulillah, he has been my favourite ever since and his reciting never fails to calm me and cleanse me.

Sometimes just untuk muhasabah diri, sebelum tidur I will remember back all those thing yang I pernah buat in my life, all those failures, all those times yang I lupa pada Allah and I will let my tears fall down endlessly, just surrendering myself. Then I will switch on the Mp3 player or my phone to listen to Sheikh Mishaari's reciting. MashaAllah, sejurus selesai rasa cleanse sangat jiwa luar dan dalam. I am too weak, I am too lost. This is just a way which Allah opens for me in order to be closer to him. You can try it too.

It is actually good to always ingat untuk muhasabah diri. And dengar lah bacaan dari Qari kerana ianya pasti dapat menenangkan jiwa, but of course u will have to always recite the Quran yourself, apart from listening to others reciting it :-)

So just nk share, here is a link to download bacaan Quran dari Sheikh Mishaari. Apart from bacaan, u can also find the translation. Cuba lah tengok kat link yang I bagi tu, if you opt for other Qari, pilih je, ada banyak kat sini. Jgn lupa download to your phone & mp3 yer kawan2 :-) Size nya agak berat so u will need a memory card to accommodate the sizes.

• If nak download bacaan Sheikh Mishaari Raashid, click here: http://quranicaudio.com/quran/5
• If nak dengar bacaan dari Qari lain (ada lebih kurang 60+ Qari), click here: http://quranicaudio.com/ 
• Last but not least, ketahuilah semua maksud2 dalam ayat2 Al-Quran, dengarlah tafsirnya: http://quranicaudio.com/quran/58

Opps! lagi satu, translation in this website is in English, so kalau u all nak dengar in Malay or something else, try google yg lain. sbb i prefer dengar yang ni.. Tapi through their blog which is http://blog.quran.com/ they all ada mention terdapat bahasa lain selain English. So, try lah godek2 yer. Hehe :D

Ok harap2 adalah org yang sudi nak jenguk website tu! Good luck kawan2 ^_^

Ni lah wajah Sheikh Mishaari Raashid ~

Dekat Youtube banyak zikir2 dari beliau... Check this out ~

Penghijrahan

Assalamualaikum my beloved muslim sisters.

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Ceh.. Kali ni I wanna share my story about hijab & my experience dalam berhijrah ni.

I started to wear hijab since Ramadhan last year, 2012. Bulan yg mulia ni had opened up my eyes and heart to make the change & dgn tekadnya I pun bertudung, Alhamdulillah sampai ke hari ni.. 

Dulu I ni mmg seorang yg free-hair. Bila tgok org bertudung, I boleh lagi cakap dalam hati I, "ala dieorang tu bukan baik sgt".. & I am very sure most of u people out there pon pernah terlintas fikiran mcm ni.

MasyaAllah. Sejahat2 dieorang, salah 1 tuntutan sbgai muslim  tu dieorang dh tunaikan even though it may not be that perfect. Mcm kita ni, dh la jahil, lg nk cakap org. Astaghfirullah byk2. 

I never even once imagine yg I nk bertudung. But day by day of growing up, I felt so empty & mcm2 masalah. it's like I felt incomplete & something was not right. I kept asking to myself, do I want to be named a muslim padahal cara hidup tak mcm seorang muslim? Sanggup ke nk dgr org tuduh I ni islam hanya pada nama. Dah la nama I pun x berapa nk muslim sgt.. :-( 

Bila I fikir balik why all these years I selalu struggle, selalu byk drama, conflicts, & tak pernah dimakbulkan doa I.. I berbalik kepada Islam. That is our way out. It have always been. Mcm mana Allah nk bantu & sayang kalau we never show our love to Him. 1 bentuk devotion pun kite tak tunjuk. Lepas tu we blame Him kalau semua hajat x sampai atau nasib kita selalu malang.

I nk share mcm mana rasanya bile u switch ur gears and transport urself into Islam.

As I mentioned, during Ramadhan 2012, on the 1st day itself, I terus pakai tudung. I rasa at that time was the best time to start, kalau bulan mulia yg takde gangguan tu pun I takleh buat, bila lg? So I buat. Beratnya hati ni. Tapi mind control everything & remind myself semua nawaitu I.

Mmg lain babe... It was so special. Hanya bila u cuba, u will feel it & understand what I mean. I rasa perubahan diri I ni menjadi 1 hikmah yg Allah berikan.  Sebelum ni rasa diri x selamat & lepas bertudung rasa tenang tanpa gangguan. 

Pada girls muslim out there yg masih belum bertudung. Cuba lah pakai. Kalau rasa mcm x sampai seru lah, belum bersedia lah, paksa diri utk google balasan di akhirat kepada wanita muslim yg mendedahkan aurat. Sure takut gila. 

Like me, that was what I did to force myself. last time I susah & liat gila nk pakai. Bila org cakap tunggu seru or tunggu hidayah sampai, that is not really true. In order for u to achieve something, u need to force urself to want it. I paksa diri I dgn cara baca tafsir Al-Quran & google pasal Islam. Bukak mata luas2 bukak otak luas2, fikir semua yg Allah dh cakap dalam Al Quran tu. Kalau uol nk tau, if uol x pakai tudung, esok yg kena bakar is ur husband, ur dad, ur brothers. Sanggup ke buat mcm tu pd mereka...

There is actually no such thing as x bersedia. What if esok u mati? X sempat langsung utk u bertaubat & merasa utk berhijab. 

Girls, pakai lah tudung tutup lah aurat kamu ya? Trust me, u will be more thankful, more humble, and kalau niat u betul, u will feel different in a good way. 

Of cos, halangan pun banyak. Like me, sometimes rasa rimas, panas, x glamour.. Tapi ingat la that feeling hanya syaitan & iblis yg sedang cuba utk menjatuhkan semangat kamu.. Bukankah mereka dah berjanji utk berusaha menyesatkan umat Adam sampai ke hari kiamat nanti. Bear that in mind, U will always try ur hard to push away the evil voices. In shaa Allah...

I am not perfect, far from being a religious person. But I am trying my best to just at least be a good person & at least having some part of myself devoted to Islam. In shaa Allah lama kelamaan seluruh diri dihambakan ke jalan Allah. Try is better than to ignore & to deny.

Jom baca a good words kat bawah ni:-

A Girl’s Heart Desire

Sometimes,
I want to open my hijab,
and show the world,
... that I too,
am beautiful in the people’s definition.

But,
deep down here,
in my little heart,
I know that beauty is by definition,
a mystery.
and it is forever more rewarding,
to be beautiful in God’s eyes.

Sometimes,
I want to wear ruffled dresses and tight jeans,
show off what I really look like,
under those baggy shirts and loosely fitted pants,
make a statement,
that I too,
have a figure and worth looking at.

But,
I know better,
to avoid entering the world of men’s imagination,
for I love my future husband,
and I am ashamed,
what should be his, has already been unveiled by others.

Sometimes,
I want to show the world,
the other side of me,
the bubblier, bolder, and crazier me.
put myself on display,
for everyone to see,
to be desired, and admired upon.

But,
I know that eyes are not just eyes,
seeing is not just seeing,
image and respect are gained,
shame and humility deserve a better place.
