TAMAN TAMADUN ISLAM [TTI] ISLAMIC CIVILIZATION PARK

A nice and warm trip with Casual day is the day that I have trip with my classmate to Terengganu. After I notice that we have got one trip to Terengganu, I feel release and happy.  A place where I was impressed the most at Terengganu is Taman Tamadun Islam [TTI]. 
  Taman Tamadun Islam [Islamic Civilization Park] is located in Wan Man Island in Kuala Terengganu, and it is the most significant monument park ever built in this region, featuring 21 great Islamic monuments and mosques from all over the world. Usually people went to TTI to see the monument of Islamic Civilization. When I step my feed at there, I fell like am now in abroad. Before I enter at that place, I have to check passport to enter. We stay in line for checking. The ticket is not too expensive. We prefer to follow the bus tour ride due to the weather is rainy on that day but it’s not our obstacles.
 A Drop of rain fall slightly, whiles everyone enjoying the picturesque view. There are many interesting sight of mosque. Amongst them are miniatures of the Great Mosque of Xian [China],Kul Sharif[Russia],Kulyan Minaret[Uzbekistan],Quirawan [Tunisia],Mohamed Ali [Egypt],Sheik Lutfallah,[Iran]Abu Nasr Parsa, [Afghanistan],Aleppo Citadel,[Syria], Pattani Central[Thailand],and National Mosque in Malaysia etc. There are several mosques that are not mentioned. The interesting ones for me is a pure white mosque of Taj mahal, Madinah mosque: Madinah in full is Madinat Rasul Allah which means “City of the Prophet of Allah” ones feeling that come in mine is now am close to Prophet Muhammad, and the place that we can touch is Baitul  Muqqadiss  mosque in Palastin: It enshrines the Sacred Rock and commemorates the Prophet Muhammad's ascension to heavens to visit God.  One look at the Kudus Minar Mosque, I can image it like a coffee cake with sweet and good taste because of it style. While we have visit in each monument of mosque, the guide will tell us the histories and facts about these interesting places. Now it’s time for lunch, the delicious meals with Malay call “Nasi Ayam”. We have lunch together nearly the river. So, I could listened the sound of the water and feel soft breeze of the wind against my face while we are enjoying eating. Sitting near the Terengganu River, I could see the beautiful of real mosque. It’s the latest attractions building. It’s made from steel and glass to produce the crystal like image with so many facilities for the visitors. I don’t know that Malaysia has such a place. So! , Now it’s in front of me. We rushed off to see and don’t forget to take a photo. We prayed zuhur here. Then we continue for taking a photo. In front mosque there are playgrounds too. It’s really nice view with fountain. I missed taking some picture. We did not have time to enjoy the scenery. Some place is close because of it was repair by architect. I have plan that I should have trip with my family next round. Inshallah!! Visiting [TTI] during my trip to Terengganu is wonderful trip. It will keep in my memory.
Hahaahahhaha

Ruling on seeking Islamic knowledge

What is the ruling on seeking Islamic knowledge?
      Seeking Islamic knowledge is fard kifaayah: if enough people undertake this duty, it becomes Sunnah for the rest of them. Seeking knowledge may become obligatory on each individual, i.e. fard ‘ayn, in the case of knowledge of an act of worship he wants to do or interaction he wants to engage in. In this case he has to know how to worship Allaah by this act of worship, or how to engage in this interaction. But knowledge other than this is fard kifaayah, so the seeker of knowledge should have the intention of undertaking something which is fard kifaayah, so that he may attain the reward for one who is doing something obligatory whilst he is seeking knowledge.
      Undoubtedly seeking knowledge is one of the best of deeds; indeed it is a kind of jihaad for the sake of Allaah, especially in these modern times when bid’ahs have begun to appear in Muslim societies and are becoming widespread, and ignorance is common among those who issue fatwas without knowledge, and people have started to argue a great deal. These three issues all make it essential that young people be keen to seek knowledge.
 1 – Bid’ahs whose evil is apparent
2 – People who issue fatwas without knowledge
3 – Extensive arguing about issues which may be clear to the scholars but there are people who argue about them without knowledge.
       For this reason we need scholars who have deep and extensive knowledge, who have an understanding of Islam, who are wise in advising the slaves of Allaah, because many people nowadays have theoretical knowledge, but they do not focus on finding the best means of reforming and educating people. They do not realize that if they issue a fatwa saying such and such, it becomes lead to greater evil, the extent of which no one knows except Allaa

From Fataawa al-Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen, Kitaab al-‘Ilm, p. 23

Islamic advice to sisters graduating from university

I hope that you can give some advice to graduating women, those who have finished their university studies. What should they do after graduating and before marriage or until they get married?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There follows some advice to women who have finished their studies: 
1. Every sister who has completed her studies should take stock of herself and the years that she spent in the university or elsewhere, and whatever occurred during them of sin or falling short in her duties towards Allah. She should repent sincerely to Allah, for repentance is required throughout life. No Muslim is free of sin or shortcomings in his or her duties towards Allah, so it is essential to repent from that. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Every son of Adam commits sin, and the best of those who commit sin are those who repent.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (2499); classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi. 
If the sister was righteous during her studies, then she should praise Allah for saving her from the sins that others have fallen into, and she should continue to adhere to that path of righteousness and to her religion. Each of her days should be better than the day before, always. 
2. Our advice to our sisters is not to be too keen to finish their studies or look for work, because unfortunately in most Muslim countries there is no work that befits women or is free of haraam elements. 
Fatwas may be issued for a small number of sisters, in some specialities, allowing them to complete their studies or work, but that is after consulting scholars whose knowledge and religious commitment they trust, and in circumstances that apply only to them. 
3. Sisters who have graduated should invest the time between graduation and marriage in calling people to Allah. Women need female daa‘iyahs who will encourage them to follow the path of righteousness. It saddens us to say that there is an urgent need for female daa‘iyahs and that those of our sisters who are undertaking this task are very few. There are many who are capable of helping and benefitting their fellow women, but we see that many of them are helpless and lazy. 
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“So when they forgot the remindings that had been given to them, We rescued those who forbade evil, but with a severe torment We seized those who did wrong because they used to rebel against Allaah’s Command (disobey Allaah)”
[al-A‘raaf 7:165]. 
Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Sa‘di (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 
This is the way of Allah with His slaves. If punishment befalls them, He saves those who enjoined what is good and forbade what is evil. 
Tafseer al-Sa‘di, p. 306

O_O ....Wonderful Trip.....*_+


My trip experience in malaysia is a wonderful trip. After I have visited malaysia for many times but this trip is not  same as before. How? ! Because I have visit the city of Malaysia that is KL stand for Kuala Lumpur. Normarly, my family and I  visited at kelantan,kedah,etc. The purpose is that we have to visit our relative. For this time, I could see the wonderful of KL. There were many building and interesting places. The first impressions of Kuala Lumpur is I can get a great views of the towers [Petronas the twin towers]. There are 88 inhabitable floors. So, I got the great picture with the twin tower. When I enter in the tower , there are various shop for visiter to buy. The park behind the towers, were fountains and water features give the impression of coolness. It’s very popular among tourist. Apart from the local Malaysians, there are many from China, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Australia and a few Europeans. It's a very cosmopolitan city.
Sitting all the way was really tiring because we are only looking at the road, vehicle passing by and sometimes watching some movies in front of our seats are the only things we can do to pass time. Then,our journy were stop at the hotel. It was almost noon when we arrive. Now, we are hungry and tired. It was the normal mode of anybody from that long of a ride. But everybody is all pumped up. The tiredness disappeared when I know that now we are reaching hotel. When we arrived at the hotel,We need to check-in our hotel room. It’s look comfortable and nice. I'd slept overnight at the hotel.
The second day of our trip,we were in  challenging place “ Genting Highlands”. We bought cable car ticket ride to the theme park. Apparently there’s a passenger limit on each cable cars. When the cable car slides out from the terminal, my mind was restless. Looking out, I was immediately see the nature view with most beautiful picture. When I step out from cable car, I could touch the weather is so cool. In the park are two places, indoor and outdoor. I choose both of places. The most challenging is out door, we rode spider man. It’s really terrible for me but challenging. I was screaming until it stops. The word that out from my mouth is Allahuakbar. When I get down, I feel dizziness and vomit. Lucky for me it’s not too bad. Then we enjoying for took a photo in the beautiful places. It was wonderful trip in my life. Hopefully, I could have a nice trip again Inshallah.
