Painting auction is over but the Fundraising is Not!!!
Assalamualaikum wbt...
At 2400 26 Feb 2008, Alhamdulillah I closed the auction with the painting sold for Euro 220.00 to Mr. Bidder 4 (to honour the bidder's request of confidentiality). Congratulations!
For all my dear friends who participate, thanks a million. Only Allah can evaluate and reward your generosity and good intentions. This auction is marely to increase your awareness about the fundraising that has been going on to settle the land payment to erect Galway Mosque. May Allah help us in making this a reality.
Even if you didnt win, I hope as you bid you realised how much you are willing to give away for charity. With that spirit in mind, winning doesnt matter. You all can still donate to the bank account below...

[Ayyuha'l Walad al-Muhib] Dhikir
Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh...
Im sorry for long break from Imam Syafie's advices. My bad. Lets not waste time...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Twelfth Counsel
Dhikir
My Dear Beloved Son,
"Awaken at night to pray [tahajjud]"(Quran, 17:79). This, my son is a command.
"And in the hours of early dawn, they were found praying for forgiveness." (Quran, 51:18). This verse indicate thankfulness.
"And those who pray for forgiveness in the early hours of the morning." (Quran, 3:17). This verse indicates dhikr of Allah the Exalted.
The Messengger of Allah s.a.w said: " Three voices are beloved to Allah the exalted: the voice of the cock, the voice of the one who reads the quran and tha voice of those seeking forgiveness in the early morning."
Sufyan al-Thawri r.a said:"Allah the Exalted has created a breeze which blows in the early hours of the morning, that carries the dhikr and the supplications to the Supreme King." He also said: "In the early hours of the night, a caller from under the Throne calls:" Let the worshippers rise," and they will get up and pray till the early hours of dawn. At that point a caller will call:"Let those who pray for forgiveness arise," and they will get up and seek forgiveness. At dawn a caller will say:"Let the heedless arise," and they will get up from their beds as the dead ressurrected form their graves."

Of Pain...
Assalamualaikum wbt...
Pain tells us that we are alive, at least, even if we are not all that well. Not feeling pain doesnt mean we are dead,there will be other kind of pain then, and thats subject to our deeds when we are alive. And to His Mercy, thats what I believe. To die is painful. Even Allah's most beloved experienced it. Inevitable till the end.
And its a way for your body to tell you something is wrong. And you need to fix it. Like ur touching a boiling hot kettle and pain ask you to retract ur hands. To lose the sensation, like very bad diabetic patient, may allow it be too late until you realise how badly injured you are.
So, be thankful for the pain. Be thankful that it hurt. Be thankful you made mistakes.
“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.”
Just dont think ur in pain alone. Even if I cant really help. Tell me, tell somebody. Just to hold your hands while u try ur best to endure. But, first and foremost, rely on Him. ["You (Alone) that we worship, and You (Alone) we ask for help." (1:5)]
Just know that everything hurts. To endure every struggle hurts. To hurt others hurts. Even to love hurts.
“I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”
It may come in a combo when you just dont know when and how it will end. Or even if it will ever do. Its like a long fall and ur really dont know. And not knowing what to anticipate when u finally reach the bottom. Will u shatter of survive? But then my dear. Just dont quit.
“Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.”
In every experience, there's somthing to be gain. You may carry the scar forever. but you can always look back and see that you survived.
“We must embrace pain and burn it as fuel for our journey.”
So my dear, dont let this experience go. At least make something from it.
“Wisdom is nothing more than healed pain.”
What doesnt kill you makes u stronger, huh?
And my dear, if ur in soo much pain and you dont know what to do. Ask Him for the way.
["Guide us to the Straight Way"(1:6)]
“Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.”
------
For my dear, whom pain I believe is the sign that she is loved.

Things That Never Change
(The ori images was from movie TOKIKAKE, my neighbourhood, my glasses, Afni's tudung, some chick's hair from deviantart n someone's glasses from Google)We joked around on our way home.
I made you angry for no reason.
I guess I just wanted to see your different sides.
Your large eyes, your trembling voice,
Even now they are close by my heart.
In the crowd of strangers, I ran after you.
I was searching for the things that never change.
I will never forget how you were on that day.
These feelings I have transcend time.
I just want to meet you now.
These feelings upon which the street lights shine,
I could never manage to let you have them.
The nights brought us further away from each other.
The lie you told through your opaque heart,
Even now it continues to resonate within me.
Uncertain of our future, you and I fell in love.
I was searching for the things that never change.
The unfamiliar place we found on that day,
If the two of us can go there together again,
I will be reborn as many times as it takes.
As I embrace the things that have no shape,
I fail to hear the breaking sound.
On the same path that we walked together,
Even now the light continues to shine.
I was searching for the things that never change.
I will never forget how you were on that day.
These feelings I have transcend time.
I just want to meet you now.
I just want to meet you now.

More Posters
Assalamualaikum....
UCD Islamic Awareness Week is coming soon. So, Dublin people, check it out! There's rumours that UCDISOC will give out free t-shirt on a competition with Euro 100 as the prize. Pretty nice, huh?
Okay, about the posters. I think I want to start blogging about the posters I edited. So any protest?
I made this based on black and white picture. The models were my friends, maybe you can guess who? The catwalk test was a rip-off from some picture online. At first I show it (BnW version) to Aisyah, the Project Manager. She dun like it. Too classy, i think is the cause. Black n white is not fun (considering our target group)...its more to hi-class fashion. So I spend the night colouring and its my first time. And its fun!
Just a parody of finger lickin good from KFC. Took the fork picture from flickr.com. Intan said it is catchy but might be a bit ganas. (Ganas=Islam?) But its x intended that way. The text was written in blood from the gum where there should be incisors, as testimonial. of how good the food is. (Its not that gory, right?)
Intan 1st year made this. Simple, sweet and powerful, kan? I wish I can be as creative as her. No need to waste time but produce great poster. Intan 2nd year said, "She is ur replacement. (apprentice) ". But no, she's better than me and I never teach her. She's a gem, right?
I dont know who made this but it must be someone from FOSIS. This is the poster to replace my lousy poster (shown 2 posts earlier) for Escape the Maxrix Talk. More ganas and professional than mine, obviously.
This is the poster that replace the poster I made too. Sob...sob... but hey, we must be professional and learn to accept rejections, kan? Better decision for the society. (",)
Okay, thats it. While watching, consider going to these event too!
