++ BE A BETTER YOU....FOR YOU ++

++ 40 WAYS TO BE AN AWESOME WIFE ++

1. Make his favorite dinner.
2. Do one of the chores he’s usually responsible for (bonus points for not mentioning it!)
3. Compliment him (especially on something you know he might be struggling with right now)
4. Wear something he’s said he likes on you.
5. Plan a special date night, start to finish.
6. Buy him a small gift. (a Reese’s peanut butter cup goes a surprisingly long way with my husband.)
7. Make him breakfast (or lunch, or dinner, as the case may be) in bed.
8. Ask him point-blank how you can make his day better.
9. Tell him how much you appreciate him and why.
10. Have you been holding a grudge? Take action steps to forgive it – or just let it go altogether.
11. Kiss him – no, I mean really kiss him, like when you were dating.  No pecks on the cheek, here.
12. Put away your phone/tablet/computer when he’s in the room.
13. Hand over control of the remote for a night or two.
14. Run him a nice, warm, bubbly bath to help him relax when he’s stressed.
15. Ask him to work out with you one day (whether that’s going for a run, lifting weights, or just going for a walk – this is great for endorphins!)
16. Spend time daydreaming: about future homes, future kids, or future vacations.
    Tip: One way I like to do this is with a travel brochure.  I got a National Geographic travel brochure a few weeks ago and we spent an hour talking about what we’d want to do if we could!
17. Tell him he’s your hero.
18. Make his favorite dessert.
19. Get dolled up just for him, like you did when you were dating.
20. Make a CD of songs that make you think of him – it’s something he can listen to when he’s on patrol, so find stuff that will make him happy!
21. Tell him one reason you love him (or randomly text it to him.)
22. Read a book he’s recommended to you.
23. Rent a movie he’s wanted to watch for a while.
24. Make the table nicely for dinner, even if it’s just pizza.
25. Gush about what a great dad he is (and why the kids love him!)
26. If you regularly interrupt him when he’s talking, try to get out of the habit.
27. Initiate sex – because literally nothing will make you as close of a couple as this will, and this one works quickly. 
28. If you’re craftily inclined, make him something.
29. Help your kids make him something, if you’re not so craftily inclined 
30. Send him a sweet text during the workday.
31. Leave a note (or several) for him to find randomly.
    Ideas: under his pillow, in his usual box of cereal, on top of a plate of food in the fridge.
32. Tell him you’re glad you married him.
33. Hold hands with him (make use of those endorphins, baby!)
34. If his car is in need of a wash, get it washed (or wash it yourself).
35. Go the entire day without nagging him (this is sometimes a tall order around here, not gonna lie.)
36. Give him a massage.
37. Pay full attention to him when he’s talking.
38. Iron/steam his uniform.
39. Buy his favorite candy bar when you go grocery shopping.
40. Frame a family picture for him for his bedside table, desk, or cruiser. Bonus points for a nice note on the back.

++ I WANT TO WAKE UP LIKE THIS EVERY MORNING ++

It's 7 pm and I am already home after a very productive day with Islamic Finder’s Engineering team. Time to pray Isha in about 20 minutes and dinner is almost ready. My kid who has been waiting for me since morning, after eagerly greeting, is playing with me and inquiring about the sirens of a police car and an ambulance. And I am trying to explain the difference to him. His questions are becoming more challenging for me with every passing day. I have to be prepared every time because he takes my word for everything I tell him.

I had been waiting for this beautiful evening since the day I started my first job. An evening that is refreshing. An evening that is spent with my family. But I could never find one. I usually reach home when everyone is sleeping or about to sleep. I missed so many family events. I skipped so many talks. However, today was a totally different day.

This evening was never possible without a productive morning routine. I didn't reach the office by the usual time, that is, 9 am. I actually reached around 8 am and had a productive hour at work because I was working alone.

Here's how I managed to reach office early and formulated a productive morning routine that you should follow too:

Waking up, Perform Wudu, Quran, Exercise, Breakfast

Conclusively

Waking up at the time of Fajr athan gives you ample time to get ready for Fajr and offer the prayer with devotion. I used Athan app that helped me get up on time. Its beautiful prayer alert in the form of an azaan was a great start of a productive day.

Getting ready

To be fully prepared for Fajr salah, it is important to wake up properly. Most of the time, we get up, perform wuzu, offer the prayer in a rush and without khushu and khuzu.

Only a handful of people can be active enough to offer salah with devotion a few minutes after waking up. Hence, this morning, I decided to come out of bed as soon as the Fajr Athan alert went off. I got up, turned on the lights and went to the bathroom to sprinkle water on my face. Trust me, it helped in alerting my brain and bringing me to full consciousness.

Waking up your family

After this, I proceeded to wake up my family since waking up your family, especially your spouse and children, is a great deed. Prophet (PBUH) said:

“May Allah have mercy on a man who gets up at night and prays, and he wakes up his wife, and if she refuses (to get up) he sprinkles water in her face. And may Allah have mercy on a woman who gets up at night and prays, and she wakes up her husband, and if he refuses (to get up) she sprinkles water in his face.” [Abu Dawood: 1308]

The next thing I did was wudu (ablution) for Fajr. If you have any confusion about the method of wudu, use this illustration to understand the step by step procedure.

Fajr prayer

I then left for Mosque to offer Fajr in a congregation. The Prophet (PBUH) said:

“I do not allow anyone who is able to attend the congregational prayer to miss it unless they have an excuse.” [Shafii, al-Umm, 1.154]

So, try to offer all prayers in Masjid. You can use the Athan app or IslamicFinder website to find mosques around you.

Recite Al-Quran              

Finding time for reading Quran during the day or after the office hours is next to impossible. Hence, instead of leaving Masjid after offering Fajr, I stayed back to read a few passages from Quran.

Reading Quran daily makes your Imaan stronger. Even if you read a few ayah a day, you will be able to complete the Quran some day.

I prefer reading Quran with translation on IslamicFinder. If you are not able to understand Arabic, try reading it with translation.

Exercise

The next task on my day’s agenda was to burn some calories. If you start your day with some physical activity, you can stay active all day. It’s best if you don’t go home directly after Fajr and go towards the jogging track instead. You can also catch a long route to your home and walk some extra miles.

Brainstorm

Early hours of the day are said to be the most productive ones. After exercise, I devoted some time to reflect upon yesterday’s tasks and make plans for the day. This helped in clearing my schedule for the weekend which I will now use to think about my long-term goals.

Breakfast

Most of the time people get up late, get dressed within a few minutes and have no option but to skip the breakfast in order to reach office on time. Having a healthy breakfast does not only make your stomach strong but also helps in maintaining body weight.

Your body needs the energy to get ready for a tough day and an empty stomach leads to an unproductive day. Therefore, I had a healthy breakfast, rich in protein, fiber, and vitamins, to keep me active during the office hours.

I was able to reach office before time, had a productive day, left for home on time and was able to give time to my family after a long time.

++ NIAT KETIKA TRAVEL ++

Bila kita travel, tujuan nak nikmati keindahan alam milik siapa? pasti milik Allah swt..

kerana Allah Pencipta yang Maha Esa, 

Dunia, manusia, alam semua milik Allah swt.

tapi bila kita travel, bukan semua tapi segelintir especially wanita  yang pegi island,beach mesti nak pakai yg sexy, ber bikini, nak tunjuk body yang sexy, ada certain pegi ngan boyfried kalau in group which mix (M+F) itu lain kes tapi ni kes pg berdua je, kata ngan parents nak pg ngan member, end up jalan bdua je.

Cuba fikir, 

Kalau lah ajal kita masa ondway nak travel or tengah travel

Kapal terbang ada problem ker?

Sempat ke kita nak mintak maaf ngan mak ayah kita sebab menipu diorang, cube bayangkan ape perasaan diorg kalu tahu kita berjalan smpai overseas hanya dengan boyfriend kita,kita pakai sexy tunjuk segala ape yg tak patut dilihat oleh ajnabi. Tak malu ke dorg.

Sempat ke kita nak bertaubat, sempat ke rasanya??

Nauzubillah min zalik

Fikir-fikirkan, 

Memang dosa masing-masing tanggung

tapi sebagai islam, mungkin tak mampu nak tegur secara terangan, mungkin dengan doa dan harapan, terdetik hati untuk mereka berubah.

InsyaAllah

Bukan lah kata saya sempurna, tapi saya cuba bukan untuk jadi sempurna, tapi menjadi islam yg lebih baik dari sebelumnya.

Jadi, tetapkan niat yang betul ketika ingin travel, 

Nasihat ini juga buat diri sendiri.

InsyaAllah

Love,
