Bye..bye 2009
Wow, hard to believe the year is all done, gone, over. So..this is the last post of 2009.
The first one was on 14 March 2009. It was a Saturday morning, I woke up from the bed and straight on to the computer to write the blog. I was inspired by Chika's blog and I am happy to be the inspiration for a few other bloggers. Blogging has definitely helped me improve in my thought process and even in expressing them.
2009...Some people are settling down, some people are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything. THAT'S ME!!malas sebenarnya..tatau nak citer ape.plus macam agak bz n blur...but..i already posted my 2010 resolution guys..I do think New Year's resolutions can't technically be expected to begin on New Year's Day, don't you? Since, because it's an extension of New Year's Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Year's Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second.hahahha..or maybe the day after or...or..hahhaha...
well...welcome 2010.new year.same goal..CHEERS!!

secreto
Dear YOU,
I live day to day thinking of you. I picture in my mind everything about you, as if you were really here beside me. My world is spinning; I can feel defeat, why can't I sleep? Why does my throat close whenever you speak? My heart breaks just to be around you. I take in the way you move, the way you talk, and the way you smell whenever you are around. My eyes directed down when your gaze falls upon me, that bashful smile - I want you so badly! This tension, it kills me. My unspoken attraction is enough to fill up volumes.
As I sit here watching astro channel 712, my heart still thinking of you. My pain is my entire fault; when will I learn? You would never want me. I'm not perfect, beautiful, or anything important. I have to let the dream of you and me go, for I am a woman with an unrequited crush.
You always were a special friend. You knew that, I knew that. Only I knew something more. I knew that I loved you and I have for so long. You complain because you can't find the "right girl." I guess friendship makes you go blind to see what's standing
right in front of you...
Your secret,
CRUSH

gia and her losing mind
What to do when love leaves
That, I never learned
Like I’m going to love today as well
I wait for you
I saw her in your embrace
Looking so happy
I want to tell her, that where she is
Is my spot
Don’t love her, don’t forget me
Am I not enough for you
You were the one you said
That having only love would make everything possible
In a world without you, without you
I have no will to live another day
Give my lonely heart courage
So I can wait..
Along with the night sky, if I draw you
It’s like the spot of a sad star
Even if I cover it with my hand, it can’t be covered
You’re like fate
Don’t love her, don’t forget me
Am I not enough for you
You were the one you said
That having only love would make everything possible
In a world without you, without you
I have no will to live another day
Give my lonely heart courage
So I can wait..
I want to let you go, to forget you
Because there were so many days of love
I don’t know where to start erasing you
When can you smile again
Even if I see someone who looks like you, brushing past by chance
I feel like if I turn around, you’ll be there
I guess nothing is really possible without you
Come back to me..
You know what I think? I think there's a reason for everything. And I think that there's a plan for everyone. And I think that God has a big plan for me. Just not in this life.
men and their testosterone
Any response??Is it TRUE???
1)There's two kinds of guys. The ones who hold your hand and the ones that f**k you.
2)If a man says “I’ll call you,” and if he doesn’t, he didnt forget, he didnt lose your number, he didnt die, he just didnt want to call you
3)Male menopause is a lot more fun than female menopause. With female menopause you gain weight and get hot flashes. Male menopause – you get to date young girls and drive motorcycles.
4)Guys don't actually look after good-looking girls. They prefer neat and presentable girls.
5)Guys virtually brag about anything.
6)According to a recent survey, men say the first thing they notice about a woman is their eyes, and women say the first thing they notice about men is they're a bunch of liars.
7)Between men and women there is no friendship possible. There is passion, enmity, worship, love, but no friendship

dreams
Dreams are necessary to life.Without leaps of imagination, or dreaming, we lose the excitement of possibilities. Dreaming, after all, is a form of planning.
Few years back i asked a highly successful businessman: "How have you done so much in your lifetime?"
He replied, "I have dreamed. I have turned my mind loose to imagine what I wanted to do. Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams. In the night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I awoke in the morning, I saw the way to make my dreams real. While other people were saying, 'You can't do that, it isn't possible,' I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted."
He continued: "We grow great by dreams. All big men are dreamers."
They see things in the soft haze of a spring day, or in the red fire on a long winter's evening. Some of us let these great dreams die, but others nourish and protect them; nourish them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light which comes always to those who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true."
So please, don't let anyone steal your dreams, or try to tell you they are too impossible.
I was like thinking..digesting..everything that he told me..and all i wanted to do for the time-being is getting myself more organize..
And this is my 2010 dreams:
1)physical : 45 kg
2)pursue my MBA
3)settle my PTPTN
4)Bali trip
5)Krabi trip with bobo
6)Cupcakes classes
7)wedding-storyboard
8)5k in my saving account
EASY??no T______________T

Doa Awal & Akhir Tahun
The last day of the year has always been a time for looking back to the past, and more importantly, forward to the coming year. It's a time to reflect on the changes we want (or need) to make and resolve to follow through on those changes. GIA wishes all Muslims a prosperous and happy new year as tomorrow is d 1st day of Muharram, the month denoting the beginning of the Islamic Lunar Calendar of the year 1431.with ♥
Doa Akhir Tahun. Dibaca 3 kali pada penghujung waktu Asar, sebelum masuk waktu Maghrib

Cause There's Beauty in the Breakdown
Semua cerita di bawah adalah mengikut pandangan GIA. Maka kalo ade yang sentap atau x setuju dengan pandangan di bawah..suka hati korang..ok??
BEAUTY OF LIFE
Life...is beautiful...LOVE ur LIFE nyanyi lagu Hallmark channel sket
Memang lah kadang2 hidup neh upside down..kalo di kaji2 balik..di pikir2 balik…tengah serabut giler babi otak pk masalah yang banyak..jangan ingat umur 22 tahun x banyak masalah..walaupon sendiri carik masalah..hahahhaa..ada jugak happiness yg datang..for me,that's the beauty of LIFE..
EXAMPLE 1
Ingat lagi masa aku break-up 2 tahun dulu. Dengan nak final exam. Dengan sebok MPP. Aku ni kalo break up bukan macam org normal. Cik Bird jadi superwoman time tu..bagi semangat..nanges berjemaah..ajak g holidays…makan durian kat tangga. Karox setiap hari. Hasilnya..keputusan final aku melebihi ape yang aku target 3.4++
Actually,Cik Bird is the happiness that Allah S.W.T granted to me...semoga Allah SWT memberkati hidup ko cik bird..walau kat mne ko berada..walau ape laki ko pk pasal aku..aku alwez sayang and appreciate ko..Kalo cik bird xde time tu aku tatau la jadi ape kat aku..3 pointer pon xkan lepas.
EXAMPLE 2
During my convocation.time tu baru dapat keje.xde kete.xde duit nak bayar duit konvo. Time last day buat pembayaran,last resort,pinjam duit kat stranger. SANGAT STRANGER. Aku pajak HP kat die. Ade dah la duit nak bayar. Pastu, parents gaduh berebut nak datang convo anak sulung.Last2 dua-dua pun x dtg. Aku mmg da plan malas da nak g konvo. Leceh. Result pon bukannya bagus pon. Tiba2 nenek aku cakap nak datang. Terpaksalah aku g shah alam amik jubah..semuanya secara solo + duit xde. Naik bas. Yang syoknye..otw balik..hujan lebat x hengat..habes basah sumer..jubah basah + paperbag yang UiTM bg untuk letak jubah koyak..ko bayang macam mne aku nak bawak jubah + topi konvo aku tatau ape nme die. Nanges2 aku petang tu. Then, the next day konvo secara solo. Sedey la jugak sebab x sangka pon boleh datang jugak konvo. ade la jugak nanges 2-3 titik sbb org lain ade parents teman..The happiness came when my skolmate..kinah + nadey + mama kinah + nenek dtg konvo tu…x kesah la walau x dapat bunga or bear…cukup la ade orang yang tersayang datang..sumpah hepi time tu..
so…ape yang boleh aku konklusikan: Good Friends are my happiness. HAPPINESS DURING BREAKDOWN is the beauty of life.
P/S: Ade banyak contoh lain. Tapi x larat nak type
BEAUTY OF HUMAN
Beauty is definitely more important on the inside than the out, because although a good looking person might be fun to **** AND they might not be all that fun to live with on a daily basis. Kecantikan adalah hak milik setiap insan. TRUE. Everybody have their own beauty. Setakat aku ingat pada masa aku hidup neh ada banyak jenis manusia yang aku jumpa..and sekarang kita FOKUS pada topic kita pada hari ini B.E.A.U.T.Y..ada 4 kategori org yang pernah aku jumpa.
- ORANG X CANTIK, PERANGAI CANTIK.
- ORANG X CANTIK, PERANGAI X CANTIK.
- ORANG CANTIK, PERANGAI CANTIK.
- ORANG CANTIK, PERANGAI X CANTIK
Biarlah kadang2 ada tu yang muka pecah x hengat..but..orang tu lah yang datang kat kte time kita susah..xde tempat mengadu..Si dia yang baik hati itu tiru ayat majalah REMAJA..hahhahaha sebenarnya sangat cantik di dalam..Ada jenis orang ni suka sangat mengaku cantik, hensem & yang sewaktu dengannya. Aku macam pelik kadang2 ada org macam menghina orang yang less beautiful…and pantang datuk nenek moyang aku menghina orang cacat. Ko ingat dorg yang cacat neh suka2 hati nak dilahirkan or mintak macam tu ke? Macam lah awak tu perfect sangat…Da r kurang lawa..ade hati nak mengata orang. Mungkin die perlu dihadiahkan cermin yg sangat besar bg sedar diri.
What I'm trying to say is for a long and happy life you have to like who the person that is beauty in the inside, or it just wont work, so in my eyes it is more important, yes most of us need to find the person physically attractive, as well, but I think inside is first and foremost on the list of importance, and that you shouldn't be afraid to over look things on the outside if you really like who they are inside.
Aku xde lah nak kata aku ni cantek (aku adalah sangat x cantek,gemuk,silly)...NEVER...I won't say that coz I don't have the right to judge myself...This topic is general where I think it's necessary for us to balance the beauty inside and out...
After all we are all beautiful in our own way.
With love…

Caution: This is not a lie.
xecca's comment: You are trying to underestimate yourself my dear. God gives doors for us. What we need to do is to open the door ( but dont forget to use your brain before you open any doors ok). Explore your life to the MAX! All the best my dearie friend~
my explanation:
i'm not underestimating myself..i alwez in bad luck situations..i'm born in a broken family..i had a relationship wif a bastard..i need a companion...aku mcm nak keje ngan PBB je..tgk org yg lagi susah dr aku...aku rasa hepi biler kawan2 aku ade ngan aku..kalo sekor2...aku da blur tatau nak buat..People keep going away from me, that hurts.alwez..people that i LOVE said "I have to go," "I have to go," where the fuck does everybody go when they have to go?
i thought when i'm working..it will makes me forget about my problems..but..it doesn't. Work. I thought i have a gift, i wanna use it. Life, life will be there later. I thought when i have worked, and i have lived, life is easy. but..work isn't the answer..aku keje pon da macam palat je aku rasa..sumpah aku rasa mcm palat skrg keje..pk nak dapat gaji ujung bulan je..hati ntah da dekat mne..aku x suka aku dapat gaji dr hasil keje x ikhlas..aku tensen tau..nampak je mcm aku ok..aku hepi..tapi x...aku mmg dissappointed la xecca..lepas satu..satu...lepas satu..satu..poning palo den...naseb baik blom botak..hahhaa..kalo botak pakai syampoo bawang..
my heart said:life and death, energy and peace. If I stop today it was still worth it. Even the terrible mistakes that I made and would have unmade if I could. The pains that have burned me and scarred my soul, it was worth it, for having been allowed to walk where I've walked, which was to hell on earth, heaven on earth, back again, into, under, far in between, through it, in it, and above.

Maknyah Kawen Mamat Britain
>>ni yg aku curik from The Sun UK
I fell for the woman of my dreams... and she turned out to be a he
WHEN Ian Young sat down next to a beautiful woman in a packed cafe in Kuala Lumpur, he had no idea they would one day be married.
Nor did he know that his pretty companion was a man.
In just three years, Ian has gone from being a straight lad from Derby - who was with his previous girlfriend for eight years - to being in a full-time same-sex relationship.
Ian married 36-year-old Fatine, who is a pre-op transsexual, in a British civil partnership ceremony in May.
But now Fatine faces deportation back to Malaysia, where homosexuality is ILLEGAL.
Ian, 30, who owns his own property maintenance company, says: "I know it is hard for people to understand but I love Fatine. I feel lucky to have met such a caring, wonderful person.
"It doesn't matter to me that she is a transsexual - it's the person she is inside that I care about and love.
"I can't contemplate the idea of us not being together. I look at her and see a beautiful woman."
Ian met Fatine in a Starbucks cafe in the Malaysian capital's famous Petronas Towers in August 2006. He was working as a security officer in the country at the time.
He says: "I asked if I could nick the seat next to her. When she looked up and said, 'Yes' I was overwhelmed by her striking eyes and exotic features.
"We started talking and I was immediately impressed by how good her English was. When she got up to leave I asked for her number.
Kissed
"That's when she said she might not be what I was looking for and that she was actually a transsexual. I just said, 'Oh' and blushed with embarrassment. But for some reason I wasn't put off.
"I'd never met a transsexual before and my instinct was that I liked Fatine. Even if it was just as friends, I wanted to meet her again."
Two days later Ian and Fatine, who was born Mohammed Fazdil Bin Min Bahari, met at a bar - and kissed at the end of the night.
Ian says: "It just felt right. My first impression in the coffee shop was that Fatine was a woman.
"If she happened to have male sex organs then that was some sort of birth defect. I never thought of her as a man."
The couple met twice more and agreed the feelings they had were more than just friendship.
Ian says: "I was planning to go back to the UK but Fatine was such a warm, gentle person she drew me in.
"I was treated like a meal ticket by other Malaysian girls. But Fatine was different - a successful make-up artist and independent woman."
But the fledgling relationship was not without its problems.
Ian says: "Being a straight man I did have a few concerns about the way I was feeling.
"I wondered if it meant I was gay and I was scared what had happened wasn't right, but I couldn't ignore how I felt."
Fatine, who has taken female hormones since the age of 17, does not want gender reassignment surgery because of the risks involved and because she is happy with her body as it is.
She was also nervous about starting a relationship in a country where transsexuals are often sacked or arrested.
Ian says: "She was disowned by her mother and had encountered a lot of prejudice.
"I began to understand that Fatine and her friends were not a freak show but ordinary people like you or me who just happened to have been born into the wrong body."
When Ian's contract finished five months later he returned to Derby, but he and Fatine realised they both felt strongly about each other. Ian arranged to return to Kuala Lumpur to work, but not before telling all to his mum Patricia.
He recalls: "Mum was fantastic. Having her support was a huge weight off my shoulders."
On his second visit, in October 2007, Ian and Fatine felt ready for a physical relationship.
Ian says: "I was scared about what would happen if sex didn't work. I needn't have worried and it only helped bring us closer. If you love someone, you accept their body no matter how it is."
In December 2008 Ian arranged for Fatine to travel to the UK on a visitor's visa. However, a holiday soon became a long-term stay.
Ian says: "The realisation we could walk down the street together and be happy made it hard to contemplate ever going back to Malaysia.
"I started feeling incredibly proud to have Fatine on my arm."
A month into Fatine's visit Ian proposed and they applied to the Home Office for a Certificate of Approval to Marry. This allowed them to proceed with a civil partnership, which they hoped would support Fatine in getting a permanent visa.
Ian says of the ceremony: "My friends and family turned out to Derby Register Office and their presence was a huge boost.
"Everyone was so supportive. Mum said, 'I've got a son and a daughter now'. For Fatine it was strange to be surrounded by people who were so accepting of her and our relationship.
"Fatine wore a beautiful red silk dress and looked utterly stunning."
Fancy
Ian has been pleasantly surprised by people's acceptance. He says: "There is always a moment of shock on their face when they find out Fatine isn't a woman. Seconds later they accept it, then ask if I'm gay. But, as strange as it sounds, I'd never say I fancy men."
Despite their dedication to each other, the couple's plans to stay in the UK are now in turmoil after Fatine's Leave To Remain Visa was refused in September on the grounds of an incorrect passport photo.
Their second application was rejected because it was received after Fatine's visitor's visa expired. She has now been told to return to Malaysia.
Ian says: "I simply don't accept the reasons we have been given for each refusal of the application.
"Our local MP has even got in touch with the Home Office but they won't budge. They say Fatine has to return to Malaysia, which is something we wouldn't be able to do as a couple.
"Over there we would face imprisonment just for living together.
"We want to do simple things like have a mortgage. We feel desperate, our options are quickly running out.
"Fatine can reapply from Malaysia but who knows how long that would take, or if it would even be accepted.
"We might be different from your average couple but we love each other - and being forced apart is our worst nightmare."
Head of Immigration for the UK Border Agency, Matthew Coats, said: "This applicant entered the UK as a visitor. The rules are clear that a visitor must leave the UK within six months but may reapply for a new visa from their country of origin."

Gingerbread
Gingerbread - Ku Cari Damai Di Hati
Mengapa kau tergamak sungguh
Memperdaya harapan ini
Tunas kasih yang aku semai
Racun berbisa yang kau sirami
Beginikah balasan cinta
Manis kata di bibir saja
Lembut lidah mengukir janji
Segunung mimpi berkecai kini
Sesalan tidak terucap
Bila kau berubah sikap
Ku sedar siapa diri ku
Kau buat tempat berteduh
Semoga engkau bahagia
Di samping kekasih baru
Andainya engkau kecewa
Janganlah kau cari aku
Biar saja aku sendiri
Yang mencari damai di hati
Airmata basah di pipi
Tak mungkin dapat membasuh luka

HIStory
Long before Robert Thomas Pattinson began driving women wild as dreamy vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight movie franchise, he was just a shy boy, nicknamed Patty, from London. "Rob's gobsmacked [British for astounded] by all the attention he's getting," an aunt of his, Diana Nutley, says in a revealing interview. "He's very cool about it all, but he can't believe it either."
But when he was growing up in a cozy Victorian home in London's Barnes neighborhood, the only females chasing the future actor were his sisters, Victoria, 28, and Lizzy, 25. "They used to dress me up as a girl and introduce me as Claudia," recalls Rob, the only son of Richard Pattinson, a vintage-car dealer, and mom Clare,
a modeling-agency booker.
Although Rob sometimes took cover from his siblings, he was known for hamming it up at family gatherings. "I remember we had a party in the garden one July," Diana recalls. "We had a wonderful game to see how many dough-nuts we could eat without licking our lips. It's impossible -- Rob was covered in jam."
But Rob had cleaned up his act by the time he transferred from the all-boys Tower House prep school to the coed Harrodian School at age 12. "It was a real turning point for me," admits the actor, who earned pocket change then by delivering newspapers and walking dogs. "I became cool and discovered hair gel."

Pattinson will play the lead role in "Remember Me," a story of a young couple whose burgeoning relationship is complicated by a succession of family tragedies that test their bond, according to ScreenDaily.com. The makers of the film, which had previously been titled "Memoirs," have not yet settled on which actress who will play Pattinson's love interest.
Emmy-winning director Allen Coulter ("The Sopranos," "Damages") will direct, and Jenny Lumet, who penned the script for last year's critical darling "Rachel Getting Married," is working on a draft of the screenplay.
After "New Moon" wraps in May, Pattinson will head to New York to shoot "Remember Me," which will finish in time for the actor to begin filming the third "Twilight" movie, "Eclipse," in August.
Summit is staying tight-lipped about plot specifics, but co-chairman and CEO Patrick Wachsberger likened "Remember Me" to "Love Story," the classic 1970 romance starring Ali MacGraw and Ryan O'Neal.

xecca---->KAKA
New Moon Review:
All was good until Edward was going to the Volturi and the Film MELTED right there on the screen (it was pretty like whoa what just happened). I'm awaited patiently for the ending it was worth it. I loved the Movie I really did I have no complaints. ROB (apparently he robbed my soul) was amazing in it and I'm super excited for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn.
I would write more on the Movie and most likely will but I’ll wait a few days to give those a chance to watch it. Heart gratitude to lo who completely made my day..hahahha..lepas 6 bulan kita jumpa okies

Xecca is kind of witty, an interesting clan, smart n most of the time she's CRAZY, etc..thats what makes her HER. its part of her charm.
shes totally down to earth and normal and so awkward and has completely her own style and personality and that is what makes her a real person rather than a blonde fake eyelashes, thick make up, dumb whiny metropolitan girls. she's natural and gorgeous. (nak duit raya!!!)

Obsession by Frankie J ft Baby Bash
Well it's early in the morning
And my heart is feeling lonely
Just thinkin bout you baby
Got me twisted in the head
And I dont know how to take it
But it's driving me so crazy
I dont know if it's right
I'm tossin turning in my bed
It's 5 oclock in the morning
And I still can't sleep
Thinkin bout your beauty it makes me weak...
I'm feeling hopeless in my home
I dont know what to do I think I'm in love
Baby...
[Chorus]
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Then what am I feeling (what am I doing wrong)
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Is this an illusion that I have in my heart?
Now I know you're not my lady
But I'm just tryin to make this right
I dont know what to do I'm going out of my mind
So baby if u let me
Kick it witchu well than maybe we could ride together
We could do this all nite
Now I dont care if u got a man
Baby I wish you'd understand
Cuz I know he can't love u right, quite like I can
It's 5 oclock in the morning
And I still can't sleep
Thinkin bout your beauty it makes me weak...
I'm feeling hopeless at home
I dont kno what to do I think I'm in love
[Chorus]
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Then what am I feeling? (what am I doing wrong)
Amor, no es amor (if this aint love)
Is this an illusion that I have in my heart?
I love the way u freaky like that
I love the way u freaky like that
I love the way u freaky like that
It's an obsession
[Baby Bash]
Hold up let me dream
Shorty got me feelin less surene

Gone
There's a thousand words that I could say
To make you come home
Oh, seems so long ago you walked away
Left me alone
I remember what you said to me
You were acting so strange
and maybe I was too blind to see
That you needed a change
Was it something I said
To make you turn away?
To make you walk out and leave me cold
If I could just find a way
To make it so that you were right here
But right now..
I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I've drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains..
You're gone..
You're gone..
Baby you're gone
Girl you're gone, baby girl, you're gone..
You're gone..
You're...
I don't wanna make excuses, baby
Won't change the fact that you're gone
But if there's something that I could do
Won't you please let me know?
Time is passing so slowly now
Guess that's my life without you
and maybe I could change my every day
But baby I don't want to
So I'll just hang around
and find some things to do
To take my mind off missing you
and I know in my heart
You can't say that you don't love me too
Please say you do
Yeeaah....
I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I Drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains
You're gone..
You're gone..
You're gone
You're gone...you're gone.. you're....
Gone
Ohhh...
Oh what'll I do
If I can't be with you
Tell me where will I turn to
Baby where will I be
Now that we are apart
Am I still in your heart?
Baby why don't you see?
That I need you here with me
Oohhh...
I've been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I've drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains
Been sitting here
Can't get you off my mind
I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I drove myself insane
Wishing I could touch your face
But the truth remains
You're gone..
You're gone..
You're gone
You're gone
Gone
You're gone..
But the truth remains
You're....

Praying for Forgiveness and Repentance * By Harun Yahya
All through their lives, certain people pursue a flawless image for themselves. Their efforts center around one goal: to be perfect and to look perfect. This is a natural consequence of finding it degrading to make a mistake. The ideal person, they consider, is one who can project an aura of impeccability.
However, this "flawlessness" is an illusionary goal. Neither is it one of the attributes of a believer we find extolled in the Qur'an. We would go so far as to say that such a "believer model" does not exist. For mankind is inherently weak, humble, and helpless before God and can consequently makes mistakes all throughout life.
No doubt, people will always do their best to avoid mistakes and sins, yet, being frail servants of God, they will not succeed in being free of all mistakes.
In the Qur'an we are informed that mankind has faults and sins before God:
[If God were to punish men according to what they deserve, He would not leave on the surface of the earth one single living creature: but He gives them respite for a stated term: when their term expires, truly, (they will know that) God has in His sight all His Servants](Fatir 35:45)
In accordance with this divine command stated in the Qur'an, the attitude expected of believers is not that of being faultless or sinless. They are only expected to constantly seek forgiveness from God.
This is actually an attribute that makes the distinction between a believer and non-believer. Unbelievers struggle to cover up their faults and sins, yet believers never try to do this.
What is important for them is to feel an inner regret and consequently turn to God and seek His forgiveness.
While reading the Qur'an, we see that the willingness to ask for forgiveness is a natural and unfailing attribute of the believers. On that account, we understand that believers never see themselves as beings purified of all sins and faults. On the contrary, they continually seek refuge in God's mercy. In the following verse, turning to God in repentance is regarded as one of the important attributes of a believer:
[Those who turn to God in repentance; who serve Him, and praise Him; who fast in devotion to the cause of God; who bow down and prostrate themselves in prayer; who enjoin good and forbid evil; who observe the limit set by God, shall be richly rewarded. Proclaim the glad tidings to the believers.](At-Tawbah 9:112)
Forgiveness Vis-Ã -Vis Repentance
Asking for forgiveness of God is a regular aspect of worship for believers. People can ask forgiveness of God all day long for all their sins, whether deliberately or unintentionally committed. Moreover, as well as asking for forgiveness for themselves, they can also do it for other believers, as stated in the Qur'an.
In Arabic, the word for "asking for forgiveness" is istighfar which is "asking for God's attribute of Ghafir, or He who forgives.
Thus, asking for forgiveness of God is like pledging to purify one's self and hence seeking refuge in the mercy and grace of God. In the Qur'an the believers pray saying what means:
["Our Lord! Forgive us our sins, remove from us our iniquities, and take to Yourself our souls in the company of the righteous"](Aal `Imran 3:193)
The judgment of God regarding this is as below:
[I am with you: if you (but) say your prayers regularly, practice regular charity, believe in my messengers, honor and assist them, and loan to God a beautiful loan, indeed I will rid you of your evils, and admit you to gardens with rivers flowing beneath; but if any of you, after this, denies Me, he will truly have wandered from the path of rectitude](Al-Ma'idah 5:12)
As mentioned above, praying for forgiveness of God may be both for sins, committed intentionally or unintentionally, as well as for the sins of other believers. This is the most important distinction between asking for forgiveness and repentance.
Although praying for forgiveness is a regular prayer of the believers, repentance is the steadfast attitude taken towards a particular sin or fault, or the giving of a firm decision not to turn to that sin again.
Repentance is seeking refuge in God for one's sin, promising not to commit that sin again and, to this end asking the guidance and help of God. The exact meaning of repentance is "to turn back". Thus, repentance expresses an absolute commitment not to commit any particular sin again.
The intention behind repentance is not to repeat the same sin. God enjoins the faithful thus:
[O you who believe! Turn to God with sincere repentance, in the hope that your Lord will remove from you your ills and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow](At-Tahrim 66:8)
However, this is not to say that believers repent for a sin or fault only once. They may repent on one occasion, and then, in a moment of weakness, repeat the same sin. However, the mercy of God never ceases to encompass them. This is why they can still repent to God and seek refuge in Him. God is always ready to show grace and mercy to the believers. This is stated in the Qur'an:
[O my Servants who have transgressed against their souls! Do not despair of the Mercy of God: for God forgives all sins: for He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful." Turn to your Lord (in repentance) and bow to His Will, before the Penalty comes upon you: after that you shall not be helped](Az-Zumar 39:53-54)
Pharaoh's Repentance
Still, there is one kind of repentance God will not accept: the insincere repentance offered when death comes. This is actually the moment people meet the angels of death. Of this the Qur'an says what means:
[God accepts the repentance of those who do evil in ignorance and repent soon afterwards; to them God will turn in mercy: for God is full of knowledge and wisdom. Of no avail is the repentance of those who continue to do evil, until death faces one of them, and he says, "Now I have repented indeed" nor of those who die rejecting Faith: for them We have prepared a most grievous punishment](An-Nisaa' 4:17-18)
In the Qur'an, God gives the striking example of such an act of repentance made at the last moment. Pharaoh, who chased Moses and the believers in order to kill them, ended by expressing his repentance while he drowned in the sea — a miracle wrought by God.
[At length, when overwhelmed with the flood, he said: I believe that there is no god except Him Whom the Children of Israel believe in: I am of those who submit (to God in Islam)](Yunus 10:90)
However, God's response to him was what means:
[Ah now! But a little while before, you were in rebellion! and you perpetrated mischief and violence!](Yunus 10:91)
Since repentance is essential to the eternal salvation of people, they should well be aware of its importance and observe this form of worship to the best of their ability. People may have sinned extensively or have rebelled against one's Creator. Yet, God encompasses His servants with so much mercy that He grants eternal salvation in response to a sincere repentance:
[When those who believe in Our signs, come to you say: "Peace be upon you: Your Lord has decreed for Himself (the rule of) mercy: truly, if any of you committed evil in ignorance, and thereafter repented, and mended his ways, he would find God Oft-forgiving and Most Merciful."](Al-An`am 6:54)
Keep in mind that God even forgives unbelievers and hypocrites who fought against Him and His Messenger, if they turn back to God with sincere and true repentance:
[The Hypocrites shall be cast into the lowest depths of the Fire: no helper will you find for them; But those who repent, mend their ways, hold fast to God, and are sincere in their devotion to Him-they shall be numbered with the believers. And soon God will grant to the believers a reward of immense value](An-Nisaa' 4:145-146)
[Those who conceal the clear signs We have sent down, and the guidance, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book-on them shall be God's curse, and the curse of those entitled to curse, except those who repent and make amends and openly declare the Truth. Toward them I shall relent; for I am the Relenting one and Most Merciful] (Al-Baqarah 2:159-160)
This is a great opportunity God grants to His servants. He commands people never to be overwhelmed by despair due to any sin they have committed and always to turn to Him in hope. However, misinterpretation of this concept and an insincere attitude do not earn people divine approval. Knowing the commandments of God, yet deliberately committing sins, saying "no matter what happens, I will be forgiven" shows completely flawed reasoning.
Such are the people who "reject faith after they accepted it, and then go on adding to their defiance of faith". Only the repentance of those who out of ignorance commit sins is accepted. The repentance of insincere people, who simply take repentance as the freedom to commit sins are, however, rejected. Stress is laid on this in the Qur'an:
[But those who reject faith after they have accepted it, and then go on adding to their defiance of faith, will never have their repentance accepted; for they are those who have of set purpose gone astray](Aal `Imran 3:90)
One point needs clarification here: It is quite possible that, being ignorant, being in a state of heedlessness, or indulging in desires, people may very well commit sins. However, if people realize theirs faults and sincerely repent, God may well be forgiving. However, people who commit sins, although knowing the judgments of God, saying, "I will be forgiven no matter what happens," are merely deceivers. That is why their repentance is not acceptable to God.
It is hardly necessary to say that heartfelt regret and sincerity are the keys to divine forgiveness.
The Qur'anic injunction: [Call on your Lord with humility and in private](Al-A`raf 7:55) also applies when showing contrition asking for forgiveness. While repenting for serious errors especially, deep regret and a sincere attitude are essential. As an example of repentance and forgiveness, the Qur'an cites the case of the three Muslims who were left behind, when all others had gone to fight in the cause of God, thereby committing a great sin;
[God turned with favor to the Prophet, the Muhajirs, and the Ansar, who followed him in a time of distress, when the hearts of some of them had nearly swerved from duty; but He turned to them (also): for He is Most Kind, and Most Merciful to them. He turned in mercy also to the three who were left behind; they felt guilty to such a degree that the earth seemed constrained to them, for all its spaciousness, and their very souls seemed straitened to them, and they perceived that there was no fleeing from God and no refuge but in Him. Then He turned to them, so that they might repent: for God is the Forgiving One and Most Merciful.](At-Tawbah 9:117-118)
Asking forgiveness of God and repenting one's sins serve as pure expressions of being a sincere servant to God. Believers should be well aware that they may commit sins, but that they should take refuge in the mercy and grace of God. Simply worrying, or feeling grief for one's former sins is quite pointless. Man should consider the story of the messengers who made some errors, yet continued their struggle after sincerely repenting. Man should trust in the forgiveness of God.
In the Qur'an it is mentioned that praying for forgiveness and expressing repentance are ways to eternal salvation:
[If it were not for God's grace and mercy to you, and that God is Forgiving and full of Wisdom, (you would indeed be ruined).](An-Nur 24:10)

seorang guru agama,kiyai atau sesiapa sahaja yang boleh menjawab
3 pertanyaannya.
Akhirnya orang tua pemuda itu mendapatkan orang tersebut, seorang
kiyai.
Pemuda: Anda siapa? Dan apakah bisa menjawab pertanyaan-
pertanyaan saya?
Kiyai : Saya hamba Allah dan dengan izin-Nya saya akan menjawab
pertanyaan anda.
Pemuda: Anda yakin? Sedangkan Profesor dan ramai orang yang
pintar tidak mampu menjawab pertanyaan saya.
Kiyai : Saya akan mencuba sejauh kemampuan saya.
Pemuda: Saya ada 3 pertanyaan:-
1. Kalau memang Tuhan itu ada, tunjukan wujud Tuhan kepada saya
2. Apakah yang dinamakan takdir
3. Kalau syaitan diciptakan dari api kenapa dimasukan
ke neraka yang dibuat dari api, tentu tidak
menyakitkan buat syaitan. Sebab mereka memiliki unsur yang sama.
Apakah Tuhan tidak pernah berfikir sejauh itu?
Tiba-tiba kyai tersebut menampar pipi pemuda tadi dengan keras.
Pemuda (sambil menahan sakit): Kenapa anda marah kepada saya?
Kiyai : Saya tidak marah...Tamparan itu adalah jawaban saya atas
3 pertanyaan yang anda ajukan kepada saya.
Pemuda: Saya sungguh-sungguh tidak mengerti.
Kiyai : Bagaimana rasanya tamparan saya?
Pemuda: Tentu saja saya merasakan sakit.
Kiyai : Jadi anda percaya bahwa sakit itu ada?
Pemuda: Ya!
Kiyai : Tunjukan pada saya wujud sakit itu!
Kiyai : Itulah jawaban pertanyaan pertama...kita semua merasakan
kewujudan Tuhan tanpa mampu melihat
Kiyai : Apakah tadi malam anda bermimpi akan ditampar oleh saya?
Pemuda: Tidak.
Kiyai : Apakah pernah terfikir oleh anda akan menerima sebuah
tamparan dari saya hari ini?
Pemuda: Tidak.
Kiyai : Itulah yang dinamakan takdir.
Kiyai : Terbuat dari apa tangan yang saya gunakan untuk menampar
anda?
Pemuda: Kulit.
Kiyai : Terbuat dari apa pipi anda?
Pemuda: Kulit.
Kiyai : Bagaimana rasanya tamparan saya?
Pemuda: Sakit.
Kiyai : Walaupun syaitan dijadikan dari api dan neraka juga
terbuat dari api, jika Tuhan menghendaki maka neraka akan menjadi
tempat yang menyakitkan untuk syaitan.
