*TIPS PERGI HAJI DI USIA MUDA*

(data untuk musim haji 2016, namun relevant setiap tahun)

Tahukah anda? Kalau anda baru mendaftar haji dalam masa terdekat ini, giliran anda menunaikan Haji adalah pada tahun 2100 ke atas? (Diberitahu dalam kursus Haji Perdana baru-baru ini.) Sanggup anda menunggu sepanjang tempoh itu?

.

.

Jangan risau. Itu cuma anggaran tahun. Tak mustahil boleh dipercepatkan lagi dengan izin Allah. Di sini saya nak kongsikan beberapa langkah yang boleh kita usaha demi mendapatkan giliran haji ketika usia muda atau sekurang-kurangnya untuk “lajukan” giliran kita. Cara-cara ni semuanya inshaAllah boleh dilakukan oleh anda semua. Saya tulis ringkas dalam bentuk point sahaja ya, supaya lebih jelas dan mudah difahamkan. Ada 4 langkah semuanya;

.

.

*1) Buka akaun Tabung Haji.*

.

.

*2) Daftar Haji. Untuk mendaftar, anda perlu ada sekurang-kurangnya RM1300 di dalam akaun Tabung Haji.*

 Kemudian anda akan diberi jangkaan tahun berapa anda bakal menunaikan haji. Lokasi untuk mendaftar: Di mana-mana cawangan TH, laman web TH, Cawangan Uniteller Bank Islam dan Bank Rakyat, ATM / CDM Maybank, atau ATM BIMB

.

.

*3) Kumpulkan duit sekurang-kurangnya RM10k.*

Mungkin part ni kita akan rasa susah sedikit. Tapi kalau kita memang betul-betul bersungguh nak capai RM10k tu, inshaAllah tempoh menunggu tu tidak lama jika kita konsisten menabung. (Contoh cara menabung akan diberitahu di akhir artikel).

.

.

*4) a) Bila duit dalam akaun anda dah cukup RM10k, anda dah boleh mula buat rayuan.* Kalau tak cukup RM10k pun sebenarnya boleh merayu, tapi kebiasaannya pihak Tabung Haji akan melihat adakah wang kita sudah mencukupi untuk membayar pembiayaan haji. Dikhuatiri jika rayuan diluluskan, tiba-tiba duit belum cukup, jadi tawaran perlu ditolak dan perlu diganti dengan orang baru. Jadi sebaiknya anda cukupkan dahulu RM10k tersebut di dalam akaun anda.

*b) Setiap tahun, Tabung Haji akan membuka kaunter rayuan Haji.*

 Anda perlu alert bilakah tarikh kaunter ini dibuka. Ia tidak dibuka sepanjang tahun. Ketika inilah ramai orang akan mula menulis surat rayuan dan menyatakan sebab-sebab kukuh mengapa pihak Tabung Haji perlu meluluskan rayuan mereka. (untuk surat rayuan ini, cubalah beri alasan dan sebab yang kuat mengapa pihak Tabung Haji perlu meluluskan rayuan anda).

*c) Kalau anda nak tahu, untuk Haji tahun ini tahun 2016,* ada sekitar 2500 orang sekitar Lembah Klang yang dijadualkan akan menunaikan haji, namun selepas ujian pemeriksaan kesihatan, 60% tidak lulus (atas faktor kesihatan) dan tidak dapat meneruskan proses seterusnya untuk menunaikan haji. Bermakna, ada banyak kuota baru yang kini kosong! Itu baru cerita di Lembah Klang, pastinya setiap negeri setiap daerah akan ada kuota kosong yang perlu diganti dengan orang lain. Mungkinkah anda orangnya? Tak mustahil. :)

*d) Ada lagi kuota kosong pada setiap tahun akibat kematian.*

 Iaitu apabila calon haji itu meninggal sebelum sempat menunaikan haji pada tahun tersebut. Jika yang meninggal itu lelaki, dan dia pada asalnya mahu menunaikan haji dengan isterinya, bermakna kuota isterinya juga perlu diganti dengan orang lain. Kerana wanita yang kematian suami, di dalam tempoh iddah, tidak boleh menunaikan ibadah haji.

*e) Nak lagi kuota kosong?*

Yang ini mungkin tidak terlalu banyak, tetapi biasanya tetap ada, iaitu wanita yang hamil sebelum berangkat menunaikan haji. Jika dia sepatutnya menunaikan haji pada tahun sekian-sekian, tetapi ditakdirkan dia hamil sebelum berangkat, maka pihak Tabung Haji tidak akan membenarkannya menunaikan haji. Jadi akan ada lagi kuota kosong untuk anda.

.

.

Jadi jelaslah di sini bahawa sebenarnya ada sangat banyak peluang untuk anda mendapatkan kuota haji dan tidak perlu menunggu giliran tahun yang asalnya ditetapkan oleh pihak Tabung Haji untuk anda. Boleh jadi giliran anda pada asalnya ialah tahun 2048, tapi pada tahun 2018 anda sudah berjaya mendapatkan giliran setelah membuat rayuan. Tidak mustahil, dengan izin Allah.

.

.

Tentang bilakah tahun yang anda akan dapat tu, ia bergantung kepada Allah, Allah melihat usaha kita, dan percayalah, Allah tidak akan mensia-siakan setiap usaha hambaNya. Namun jika giliran itu tetap juga tidak datang seawal yang anda harapkan, usahlah kecewa, teruskan berusaha, teruskan membuat rayuan SETIAP TAHUN dan yang pasti, berdoalah di sepertiga malam tentang hasrat anda untuk mengunjungi rumahNya, buktikan anda betul-betul mahu ke sana.

.

.

Ibadah haji bukan milik orang kaya. Ia milik semua. Ada orang kaya yang tidak dapat pergi kerana masalah kesihatan, ada orang yang kurang kaya tapi dapat juga akhirnya menunaikan haji kerana gigih menabung serta tidak henti berdoa. Allah yang berhak pilih siapakah tetamuNya, maka buktikanlah kepada Dia bahawa anda sungguh-sungguh mahu ke sana dengan segera, ketika umur masih muda dan jasad masih kuat.

.

.

Nota cara menabung secara ringkas:

.

.

*1) Untuk menabung dalam tempoh 8 tahun:*

 RM25 seminggu atau sehari RM3.60 sahaja. (Setahun ada lebih kurang 52 minggu. Setahun= RM25 x 52 minggu = RM1300. RM1300 x 8 tahun = RM10400). Atau, nak lagi cepat?

.

.

*2) Untuk menabung dalam tempoh 4 tahun:*

 RM50 seminggu atau sehari RM7.14 sahaja. (Setahun ada lebih kurang 52 minggu. Setahun= RM50 x 52 minggu = RM2600. RM2600 x 4 tahun = RM10400).

.

.

Kesimpulannya kalau sekarang umur anda masih di awal 20-an, tak mustahil sebelum umur 30 anda sudah boleh menunaikan haji, atau selewat-lewatnya sebelum anda mencecah 40 tahun, inshaAllah fizikal masih sihat ketika itu.

.

.

P/s: Atau nak cara lebih cepat untuk dapat kuota haji, kahwinlah dengan orang yang giliran hajinya tidak lama lagi. ;) Jika suami sahaja yang mendapat tawaran, isteri boleh buat rayuan dan kebiasaannya pihak Tabung Haji akan luluskan permohonan tersebut tapi pastikan RM10k tersedia di dalam akaun Tabung Haji. Dan untuk kes isteri (yang berumur 44 tahun ke bawah) yang mendapat tawaran haji, suami tak perlu risau kerana secara automatik suami akan dapat pergi bersama isteri kerana si isteri wajib ada mahram.

.

.

Silakan share untuk manfaat bersama atau sebagai rujukan anda pada masa hadapan.

*[Edited: Tambahan tips dari saudara Syafiq Kamil.*

 --> Saya berminat untuk tambah info sikit. Bagi yang nak daftar haji, tapi belum cukup wang permulaan sebanyak RM1300, anda hanya perlu print penyata KWSP anda yang terkini dan bawa bersama ketika mendaftar di kaunter TH. Buka akaun TH cuma bayar RM10, manakala daftar haji pula PERCUMA (asalkan ada penyata KWSP). Yang penting daftar siap2, insyaAllah rezeki akan datang kemudian. Dah cuba, memang senang. Pihak TH juga minta war-warkan perkara ini. Terima kasih.

** Best kan tips ni? Semoga tips ni dapat memberi manfaat kepada semua ya, Yang penting JANGAN LELAH UNTUK USAHA. InsyaALLAH, ALLAH suka tengok niat hambaNYA yang suka berusaha. Lagi lagi usaha niat nak ke kota yang sangat suci ni. Aminnn **

Sleepover

School holidays!! Just before we went to Disneyland.

Sometime Being an Adult sucks....

Marriage....

....it's tough some of the times, challenging and requires hard work and compromise and lots of give and take. Sometimes I just don't want to adult.

A gorgeous view

Everyday we have this view and I think to myself- what a difference from last year and how thankful and grateful I am for this. Sometimes I still feel that it's surreal. Sometimes I feel guilty and think what did I do to deserve this but then I am just so thankful and I just pray that Allah continues to give us His blessings and to keep us safe, fit, healthy and happy together and dimurahkan rezeki always. Amin Amin ya Rabbal Alamin

Aquathlon Putrajaya

25 september 2016

You did it baby! I know it was tough but you did it! 200 m swim and 2 km run. 

1st school holidays at Symphony Hills

Ya stayed over from Sunday 29 /5/16 until tomorrow Thurs 2/6/16. Hari2 swim. Bestnye! Alhamdulillah.

This is your Mother at 40

Wen, one day you will reach 40 years of age and you will see that 40 is not old at all. :) This was at the Ritz Carlton Hotel in Singapore - 14th and 15th April 2016.

Broken heart

O Allah, please heal and mend my broken heart. The one who broke it doesn't know that he broke it. He hurt me. He was mean and I didn't think I deserved it. Of course he does think that I deserved it. He always thinks that he is right. All the time. He thinks he know best. He thinks he knows it all. He thinks that he changed for the better and that the fact that I didn't change goes to show that I haven't grown. Well if he means that being easily offended by a simple question of "We are going to dinner right...??" is growth, then I am in trouble.

I don't know what he wants from me. Not too long ago, he told me "Don't complain..don't assume..." - now that I have stopped doing that he goes back and say.."Complain!! ( re the house defects to the developer ok yes but it is still complaints!! and then the other day he didn't tell me that we are heading to Aeon and when we had a fight as a result of it he said " I made the u turn, you should already know that we were heading to Aeon!" Really? Now you want me to assume? I give up. I am now married to a sensitive old man who doesn't have fun with the wife anymore.

Well, in his defence, he provides well for us. I am grateful for that really. Then I guess next in line is his exercise because he needs to lose weight. Between work and his exercise routine and the exercise routine he has Arwen on, there isn't much time for anything else. Not much time for the wife especially.

Oh and another thing he says " I am reactionary..I react to how you act" ..Really? Then, what am I? A robot? You think I don't react to how you act? You come home and you are quiet because apparently you don't want to tell me what a heavy responsibility you have to do at work in order to earn a living for us because you don't want me to worry. Oh how sweet. Instead you decide to keep quiet and sit in front of the telly and then expects me to talk to you so you can react to me. What a load of crap. So I can't react to how silent and grumpy you look and decide maybe I should stay away. For self -preservation, more than anything else really.

So that' is where I am right now. In self-preservation mode since whatever I could say might explode a time bomb.

I know this is a blog for you Wen but yeah you might want to know when you are all grown up that sometimes marriage sucks and it takes a lot, a lot of compromise and a hell lot of hard work.

Yoda

27 July 2016, Weds, the day Bak found Yoda and brought him home

Chewie and Cleo checking out the tiny kitten

Yoda's ears are huge and when I saw them while Bak was washing him, I instantly thought of Yoda.

27 July 2016, Bak went for a run at 5am and came back at 6 am with a tiny kitten and woke us up by saying.."bangun..bangun, I selamatkan kucing...."

Well...cat no 3 then.

School

School is hard. It's tough. But i persevered and i made it through. You can do it Wen. You can.

Moved!

Well, its been almost a month and a half since we moved to Cyberjaya. I haven't had the chance to write it all down. Its been hectic, crazy, exhausting and back breaking exercise. Literally, my back hurts from packingvto unpacking all our stuff!! So many stuff. It's a topic worthy of its own blog entry - will write about that later.

Arwen khatam Quran 9 April 2016

Alhamdulillah, you managed to finish the whole Quran just before we moved to Cyberjaya. Syukur syukur. So much 'blood, sweat and tears' went into this process from you starting Iqra when you were in standard 2 and khatam Quran at the beginning of standard 5. About 3.25 years. Cikgu Ros had a small ceremony for you on 9 April 2016. We had moved already by then. I am so proud of you. I duaa you will continue to learn and read the Quran your entire life. It is the most important book in our lives actually.

Counting Down

LThis is it! Our last Sunday night in our kota damansara house. This is our last week here because by next Monday, you start school in Cyberjaya. I pray that you adjust well and quick in your new school. I pray that you'll be happy in school, do well in your studies, have great friends, great teachers and a wonderful school experience. Better than SkTTDI1. Oh Allah, please give us your blessings in this next stage of our lives. Our new adventure is about to begin and we seek your blessings and protection, always. 

Letting go of stuff -Feb-March 2016

It's not easy for me to let go of stuff but at the same time I know it's just stuff. It's weighing me down and cluttering up my house. So with the big move coming up, it pushes me out of my comfort zone and forces me to let go of a lot of things!!

I just took out all your baby clothes and your pram and I gave them away after keeping them for 10 years!! I was keeping them for your sibling but fate would have it that I won't be having any baby after you. After the miscarriage and after years of trying, i just could not bring myself to look at your baby stuff but now I have and I have let go most of it! I gave your pram to Atlas when he came here last month. Your pram is now in Krabi! Some clothes I gave away to Azra and Alisya and some was donated. I still keep some of the nicer clothes, the jogger pram and your baby high chair are still here with us!!

Here are the pictures of all that I gave away.
