These guys saved my life. Thank you Jeremy, Edward and Gerald. They stopped their cars to aid me. I insisted on taking this pic although they were hesitant.
Ambulance guys sent me to Tan Tock Seng, was tended to by nurses Rahmat and Adaty, always comforting me when I was in great pain.
I know they are tired but their proffesionalism was top notch. I am so going to write a commendation letter for the both of them. Thank you for the TLC and of course thanks to my blood NurSyah Raja RaZie and Dyn Norahim for waiting at the A&E.
Thank you for the doa guys. I am really thankful to be alive (almost kena lenggek!). Surrounded by so much love this Ramadhan, am really blessed!a
PS: Best part is im covered under Great Eastern so they’re paying for every medical treatment as well as the follow ups, all because I have a good insurance agent, Razie’s wife!
There’s a new definition for the term ‘terrorism’ and ‘terrorists’:
Terrorism – “It is an act of terror carried out only by Muslims, killing vastly Muslims (average 90% of victims, if not all of them) in the name of Islam, especially in one of the holiest month of the Islamic calendar.”
Terrorists – “A group of Muslims who carry out acts of terror, killing vastly Muslims in the name of Islam (average 90% of victims, if not all of them), especially in one of the holiest month of the Islamic calendar.”
There’s also a new definition of a ‘loner’.
Loner – “Any mentally unstable white non-Muslim who carries out acts of terror on anyone at any time for any reason.”
These new definitions of terrorism, terrorists and loner can be found in the New Idiots Dictionary of the Western World, and Idioticpedia (the equivalent of wikipedia for idiots).
He is bold, boisterous and is optimistic in a way only a young person can be.
But his greatest wish is to break fast with his mother.
For the second year in a row, he is spending Ramadan away from her.
It is only when this subject was raised that we saw a change in the boy.
“I’m quite jealous when I see some of the residents go out and break their fast with their family members,” Ahmad told The New Paper, with notable sadness.
Ahmad (not his real name) has spent more than a year at Pertapis Children’s Home.
According to Mr Sophian Kayat, the head of the home, Ahmad and his older brother were placed in the home’s care in March last year after a court order to protect them.
Their mother had been abused by Ahmad’s stepfather.
She stays in a separate welfare home.
“
I’m quite jealous when I see some of the residents go out and break their fast with their family members.
When Ahmad was first admitted to the home, he understood why he was being separated from his mother, but it was still hard.
“Ahmad is close to his mother so when he was first admitted here, he was moody and easily agitated,” said Ahmad’s case manager, Miss Hamidah Otheman, 25.
“It took him three to four months before he was able to deal with his emotions and settle into life in the welfare home,” she added.
Ahmad described last year’s fasting month: “I was very sad because it was the first time that I was fasting away from my mother.
“This year, it’s better because I’m already used to it and I have friends here.”
BREAKING FAST: Ahmad breaking fast with donors. The donors had sponsored the food that day.
When TNP visited the home in Kovan, Ahmad was having his school holidays.
He and the other children at the home clamoured to play games during their morning break.
During the school holidays, the children are allowed to play from 7.30am to 9am.
He loves to play football. The home has a small field — about a quarter the size of a normal football field.
“I support Chelsea and Fernando Torres is my favourite player,” he shared between kicks towards an old goalpost.
OBSERVING: A young resident at the home looking on as Ahmad and his friends play football.
Even though Ahmad is away from his mother, but he does not complain about the home.
In fact, he credits the home for helping him to get through the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE), which he took last year.
“The tuition and the support programmes that they have helped to push my grades up and I was able to pass my PSLE,” he said.
PRACTICE: Ahmad practicing the worksheets which were given to him by the home.
“I want to study hard and get into polytechnic and study aerospace engineering,” said the secondary school student.
“I heard that there are a lot of jobs as an aerospace engineer.”
This is more than personal ambition. He wants to be able to give back to the welfare home.
“Maybe in the future, I can sponsor an event for them or maybe make an activity programme for them,” he said.
“
Ahmad is close to his mother, so when he was first admitted here, he was moody and was easily agitated.
But for now, all he wants is to be reunited with his mother.
According to Mr Sophian, Ahmad’s wish may be granted in the near future.
He says that the next stage for Ahmad is to spend and extended home leave with his mother.
“So long as safety is not compromised, we should be heading towards reunification.”
INDONESIA: Usianya baru 9 tahun, namun dai dan hafiz cilik Indonesia, Muhammad Abdul Rasyid, sudah mampu meniru gaya suara bacaan Al-Quran 15 imam besar termasuk imam Makkah.
Bahkan, kanak-kanak yang terkenal dengan gelaran Syekh Rasyid itu juga dikatakan sudah mengimamkan solat terawih dengan hampir 1,000 jemaah.
Sejak usianya 5 tahun, kanak-kanak itu, yang terkenal dengan gelaran Syekh Rasyid, sudah mampu meniru gaya bacaan 15 imam besar dunia, mulai dari imam Masjidil Haram, Abdul Rahman Ibn Abdul Aziz as-Sudais, dan termasuk imam Masjid Nabawi dan Masjid Besar Kuwait, menurut Dream.co.id.
Pada 2014, pada usia 6 tahun, kanak-kanak asal Pekanbaru itu mempamerkan bakatnya dengan menyertai pertandingan Pentas Hafiz Indonesia yang disiarkan di saluran RCTI.
Di pertandingan itu, bakatnya itu menarik perhatian salah seorang juri, Syekh Ali Jaber, ulama terkenal dari Madinah, yang begitu kagum dengan kebolehannya, beliau mencium tangan kanak-kanak itu dan memberikannya gelaran “Syekh”.
“Berbanding anak-anak lain, dia satu-satunya anak yang mampu meniru suara para imam.
“Gelaran ‘Syekh’ itu diberikan kerana kita kenal salah satu figur di Arab, namanya Sheikh Mishary Rashid (Imam Masjid Besar Kuwait).
“Saya berharap dengan gelaran ini, dia lebih bersemangat untuk menghafal Al-Quran kerana beliau belum menghafal kesemua 30 juz Al-Quran.
“Mudah-mudahan Rasyid boleh jadi lebih baik, lebih tawaduk, dan bersemangat untuk hafal 30 juz,” kata Syekh Ali Jaber dalam wawancara yang disiarkan RCTI.
Malah, kata ibu Rasyid, Yulia Chaniago, anaknya itu juga mampu melatunkan gaya azan dari muazzin pelbagai negara.
“Seperti Turki, Madinah, Damsyik, Kuwait, India, sampai Jawa. Dia juga hafal siapa yang melantunkan azan yang dia tiru itu,” kata Cik Yulia kepada Dream.co.id.
Lebih mengagumkan, murid sekolah Al Kindi Islamic School Pekanbaru yang lancar berbahasa Arab itu mempelajari sendiri irama 15 imam besar dunia itu – dengan menyaksikan dan mendengar bacaan Al-Quran mereka melalui YouTube.
Sejak menyertai Pentas Hafiz Indonesia, Rasyid, yang juga tampil sebagai Juara Aksi 1 Junior 2015 di INDOSIAR, menjadi terkenal bukan sahaja di Indonesia malah di seluruh dunia, hingga digelar sebagai kanak-kanak ajaib dengan suara dari syurga.
Kanak-kanak itu dijemput ke pelbagai acara di Indonesia dan luar negara, bahkan juga dikatakan mengimamkan solat terawih hampir 1,000 jemaah di sebuah masjid baru-baru ini.
Dalam video yang dimuat naik ke saluran YouTube Umi Rasyid pada 20 Jun 2016 itu, lantunan ayat-ayat suci Al-Quran Rasyid dilihat begitu mengharukan hingga sesetengah jemaah menitiskan air mata.
Video di bawah ini yang dimuat naik pada 10 Mei lalu pula menunjukkan kanak-kanak itu bersama imam dari Madinah, Syekh Dr Abdurrahman Awaji.
Rasyid juga menyampaikan syarahan, yang dimulakan dengan pantun, di hadapan para jemaah di Masjid Nurul Jannah di Indonesia. Dalam video ini, kanak-kanak itu yang bersarban menyampaikan syiar dengan suara lantang dan penuh yakin diri.
Pada Januari 2015 pula, Rasyid menggetarkan Masjid Tsim Sha Tsui di Hong Kong apabila membaca Al-Quran di hadapan ribuan jemaah sebagai tetamu undangan, menurut goriau.com.
Malah, di Madinah, Rasyid juga pernah bertemu dan mempamerkan bakatnya itu di hadapan Syekh Abdul Rohman, dikatakan dari keturunan cucu Rasulullah.
IBU: MAMPU MENGUCAP ALLAH PADA USIA 6 BULAN
Ibu Rasyid, Yulia, memberitahu Dream.co.id bahawa anaknya itu mampu mengucap ‘Allah’ ketika usianya enam bulan.
Malah pada usia tujuh bulan, kanak-kanak itu dikatakan sudah mampu berkata-kata.
“Usia delapan bulan sudah bisa menghafal ayat-ayat Alquran. Anak ini umur dari bayi sudah luar biasa,” kata Cik Yulia.
Menurutnya lagi, sejak kecil lagi Rasyid membawa Al-Quran ke mana sahaja dia pergi. “Kalau tidak bawa Al-Quran, sakit dia. Apalagi saat ini, ke mana-mana bawa Al-Quran,” ujarnya.
Rasyid, yang dilahirkan pada 26 April 2007, juga asalnya diberi nama Gilang Pratama, menurut laman Dream. Tetapi sebelum usianya genap lima tahun, dia memilih sendiri nama Muhammad Abdul Rasyid, yang diambil dari nama Sheikh Mishary Rashid kerana menganggap beliau sebagai idolanya.
Kini, Rasyid sudah menghafal sekitar 24 juz Al-Quran, menurut laporan goriau.com pada 18 Mei lalu.
Menurut goriau.com, kisah kehidupan Rasyid diabadikan dalam buku “Suara dari Surga” dan “The Holy Child”.
Kini, kisahnya juga dirancang dijadikan sebuah filem, kata sutradara dan penulis buku “Satu Rahim Satu Cinta”, Salamun Ali Mafaz.
