Magic Prayer Mat

This story took place at the end of Year 2014 where a major flood occurred in the state of Kelantan resulting my office being submerged in water and destroying all documents and office equipments. It took time for about a month to clean all the mud that sticks and dispose of all the equipment that is damaged due to the long immersion in the 'Bah Kuning' incident. God is Almighty. While the me myself went to clean the office from the effects of the flood disaster, it was found that all the equipment placed on the cupboard, table or floor was submerged in water and covered with mud except one thing only - a purple prayer mat that before the flood was placed at the bottom, untouched even from a drop of mud. This situation is very different from other equipment, including those placed in high places on the cupboard that were also destroyed in the incident. Subhanallah! Praise be to Allah. When I recall the history of the initial intentention why the purple carpet was bought before, I just remembered that it was used as a prayer mat for the me myself and friends who visited my small office to perform prayers! Allah S.W.T. Said: “And establish prayer and give Zakat and obey the Messenger – that you may receive mercy.” (Surah an-Nur, Verse 56). Subhanallah! Indeed, the ‘Rizqi’ from Allah S.W.T. is not in the form of money alone, but more than that (beyond that) which includes the high level of good health, peace of mind, family harmony, pious offspring, all matters are facilitated by Him and many more . Try to imagine if when the great flood occurred, our lives taken alive by Him, while at that time we were not ready to go yet because there are a lot of sins that we have committed while the opportunity for us to continue worshiping Him has stopped, then we are among those who loss a lot. Until now, the purple carpet can still be used by me myself as a prayer mat, but due to a bit of trauma with the tragedy of the end of December 2014, my purple carpet was placed at home only and no longer brought to the office. The purpose of sharing this story is not with oblique or negative intentions but to motivate and inspire all of us to continue and diligently worshiping Almighty Allah. This is one of important proof that Allah S.W.T. really exists, always close together with us all, to accompany His faithful servant and always remember Him. Because by remembering Him, the soul will be calm. Allah S.W.T. Said: “Those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of Allah . Unquestionably, by the remembrance of Allah hearts are assured.” Wallahua'lam.

ESSENTIAL OF STUDENT LEADERSHIP TRAINING TO BECOME A FUTURE LEADER

University is one of the most important place after home to educate our children not only about life but also the way we portray ourselves as a servant of Allah S.W.T. Other than that from this world's point of view, our country also highly needs to have our future leaders to succeeded the current top management of Malaysia. 

Lately, it is quite hard to identify whose are suitable and talented to fill in those empty position in future when our current leaders retired or stepped down. So, we suggested that a special training module must be developed for that specific purpose. Those module must be equipped with variety of knowledge not only on how the prospect future leaders should perform the best for their careers but also as the preparation for hereafter, until the moment that all of us will be gathered, meeting Allah S.W.T. as our Supreme Creator. 

Hence, our future leaders should add on some more reading materials dosage into their daily activities but also must strengthen their relationship in terms of Islamic religion so that Allah S.W.T. will blessed us all and facilitate our endless journey towards success as the ultimate goals of course, to meet our Prophet Muhammad P.B.U.H. and all our family members in heaven sooner.
