.: DO AS YOU SAY :.

The packet of spaghetti was strewn all over the kitchen floor.

my sis: Lin! Look at your nephews...

hakim & hamim, look at me, doe-eyed, tinge of guilt across their faces. hazim was on his way out of the kitchen.

me: astaghfirullahal azim... !hazim, please help pick the spaghetti up.

hazim: i didnt do it. it was hamim.

me: still, dont you want to get extra pahala (good deeds) by helping out?

hazim: you, say only. why dont you do it yourself?

me: -

i was stumped.

" O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? Most hateful it is with Allah that you say that which you do not do."

- as saff 61:2-3 -

i got up. went to the kitchen & helped the children pick up the packetful of spaghetti on the floor.

.: ainul mardhiyah :.

it has been a looooooong time. indeed, my concerns found in my very first posting, whereby i wont be able to update this blog regularly are founded.

nevertheless, the situation has forced me to think about the more significant events of the daily nothings.

one of the more significant events then, would be the birth of my second niece on the 27th June 2006. we've waited for a long time for a niece (ten years to be exact). we had a girl ten years ago, and ever since, it has been boy after boy after boy (all four of them) - not that i am complaining because the boys brings us such joy.

ainul mardhiyah...a source of blessing...

may she hold true to her name, as she grows up, insya allah...
