LEYLA-AL QADR





Today is 25 th September 2008 the last five days of Ramadan. Muslims seek and observe the Night of Power (Leyla al-Qadr). The Qur'an describes this night in a chapter named for it: Surah (Chapter) 97. Al-Qadr (The Night of Power)

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

We have indeed revealed this message in the Night of Power.
And what will explain what the Night of Power is?
The Night of Power is better than a thousand months.
Therein come down the angels and the spirit, by Allah's permission, on every errand.
Peace! Until the rising of the morning!

Tradition holds that the Night of Power is the night that the first revelation of the Qur'an was sent down to the Prophet Muhammad. Muslims are instructed to "seek" the Night of Power during the last ten days of Ramadan, particularly on the odd nights (ie. the 23rd, 25th and 27th). It is reported that the Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever stays up (in prayer and remembrance of Allah) on the Night of Qadr, fully believing (in Allah's promise of reward) and hoping to seek reward, he shall be forgiven for his past sins." (Bukhari and Muslim)

Muslims worldwide spend the last ten nights of Ramadan in solid devotion, retreating to the mosque to read Qur'an (i'tikaf), reciting special supplications (du'a), and reflecting on the meaning of Allah's message to us. It is believed to be a time of intense spirituality, when the believers are surrounded by Angels, the gates of heaven are open, and God's blessings and mercy are abundant.

The whole month of Ramadan is a time of renewal and reflection. As the month winds to a close, we pray that the spirit of Ramadan, and the lessons learned during it, last for all of us throughout the year.

The Leyla Al-Qadr Poem.

Dikala menanti malam seribu bulan
Kulantunkan Ayat-ayat-Mu
Kudendangkan Dzikir-Mu
Kutundukkan kepalaku untuk bersujud kepada-Mu
Berhasrat mendapat malam mulia-Mu
Berharap mendapat malam pengampunan-Mu
Malam sejuta kemuliaan
Malam Lailatul Qadar...

TO OUR PARENTS.

For as long as we can remember
they were always by our side
to give us support
to give us encourage
to give us confidence
to give us help

For as long as we can remember
they were the person
We looked up to
so strong
so sensitive
so pretty
so handsome

For as long as we can remember
and still today
they are everything
a parents would be

For as long as we can remember
they always provided stability
full of laughter
full of tears
full of love

Whatever we become
is because of you both
and we thank you
forever for our relationship

Both you are for ever friends.
Thank you dad and mum for making us happy and wise.

DO'A UNTUK ORANG TUA








Oleh : K.H. Abdullah Gymnastiar

Ya Allah,
Rendahkanlah suaraku bagi mereka,
perindahlah ucapanku di depan mereka.
Lunakkanlah watakku terhadap mereka dan
lembutkanlah hatiku untuk mereka.

Ya Allah,
Berilah mereka balasan yang sebaik-baiknya
atas didikan mereka padaku dan pahala yang besar
atas kesayangan yang mereka limpahkan padaku.
Peliharalah mereka sebagaimana mereka memeliharaku.

Ya Allah,
Apa saja gangguan yang telah mereka rasakan,
atau kesusahan yang mereka derita karena aku,
atau hilangnya sesuatu hak mereka karena perbuatanku,
jadikanlah itu semua penyebab rontoknya dosa-dosa mereka,
meningginya kedudukan mereka dan
bertambahnya pahala kebaikan mereka dengan perkenan-Mu, ya Allah
sebab hanya Engkaulah yang berhak membalas kejahatan
dengan kebaikan berlipat ganda.

Ya Allah,
Bila magfirah-Mu telah mencapai mereka sebelumku,
izinkanlah mereka memberi syafa'at untukku.
Tetapi jika magfirah-Mu lebih dahulu mencapai diriku,
maka izinkahlah aku memberi syafa'at untuk mereka,
sehingga kami semua berkumpul
bersama dengan santunan-Mu
di tempat kediaman yang dinaungi kemulian-Mu, ampunan-Mu serta
rahmat-Mu.

Sesungguhnya Engkaulah
yang memiliki Karunia Maha Agung,
serta anugerah yang tak berakhir dan
Engkaulah yang Maha Pengasih Diantara semua pengasih.

Mari kita kenang dosa kepada orang tua kita.
Siapa tahu hidup kita dirundung nestapa karena kedurhakaan kita.
Karena kita sudah menghisap darahnya, tenaganya, airmatanya, keringatnya.

Istighfar, istighfarlah
Barangsiapa yang matanya pernah sinis melihat orangtuanya.
Atau kata-katanya sering mengiris melukai hatinya,
atau yang jarang memperdulikan dan mendoakannya.
Percayalah bahwa anak yang durhaka siksanya didahulukan didunia ini.

Istighfar yang pernah mendholimi ibu bapaknya.

Astaghfirullahal Adhiim

THE THREE GIRLS FROM CHANDRALELLA VILLA.

My parents have three sons and three daughters; the daughters are Betty S, Dini Sriyunilawati and Ferra Srifariyati.

Betty is the eldest daughter. Her parents were so happy to have Betty because she was their first daughter. She was their favourite daughter – everything she wanted, she could have. Her parents dropped her off and pick her from her activities or her job. She grew up in a loving and caring family.

She is always active in organizations. She didn’t have many girl friends while she was studying. She grew up to be tomboy. She was an adventurer. Her hobbies made her mum worried. However, she has supported and encouraged by her parents.

She had a face and character just like her mum, which is why people called her the duplicate Mrs Soebarnas. She was like a star in her school, and was very popular in her community. She was an idol for her friends, and a lot of men wanted to marry her. She was a workaholic, getting just four hours sleep a day. She chose her career first before getting married. She had s dream to be a famous politician and researcher. This is why she married after her sister Dini and her brother Chandra.

She went to the UK to study, and she fell in love with a British man. Who was this lucky man? He is Amir Brooks from Gloucester. They were married on 4th August 1997 in Cardiff. They don't have any children yet. Insya Allah soon they have children . Please make doa for them. Amin Ya Robal Alamin.

Dini is the second daughter. Her character is the opposite of her sister Betty. She is like a princess. She is prettier than Betty and Ferra. She never went out with men. She has only had a relationship with her husband, Viva Sudiono Putra from Purworejo. They married on the 5th May 1996. They have one son, R. Adhyasa Radigta Cahaya Putra.

She never made my mum worried because she never made trouble with her hobbies or her activities. My parents were proud of her because she is good girl. She likes to stay in the house.

Ferra is the youngest daughter. Her character follows her mum and Betty. All the family call her the second duplicate of her mum, because Betty is the first duplicate! She has a lot of friends. She was like a star in her school, and was very popular in her community. She was an idol for her friends, and a lot of men wanted to marry her.

She follows Betty, and doesn't want to get married soon. She has chosen to stay single for the moment. Insya Allah, one day she'll find the husband of her dreams.

She likes travelling and shopping, which means she's always away from the home. This makes my parents worried.

The three girls from Chandralella Villa have different characters and attitudes.
Our parents gave different educations and care to each of them. We grew up following our parent plans.

That's us, the three girls from Chandralella villa.

We are making trouble, spending money our parents' money and making them worried… but we make our parents proud.

Insya Allah we will follow your steps. We will stay happily married and successful with our careers. We like to be Sakinah family and follow Islamic law for all our lives.

Thank you so much Mum and Dad for making us happy and showing us how to follow the right way. Without Ridha Allah and your love, care and teaching, we are nothing.

Please forgive us for anything wrong we did to you when we were kids. Without forgiveness from both Allah and you, we cannot have the power to do right things. Insya Allah we follow Allah and you for a pure life. Amin Ya Robal Alamin.
