on Relief Missions

Just an email I was writing to my mates in a Yahoogroup..

Salams,

Since we're on this topic on relief missions,I was suddenly feeling a bit emotional bila terkenangkan the last mission in cambodia. who could have easily forgotten that poor little boy in the yellow pants near our favourite halal stall, or the other kids who would wait for us to finish our meals so that they can collect our sisa-sisa mknn for themselves to eat?


Or the warm welcome as the whole villagers came down to greet us.
or the kids who were so excited with our candy treats (sampai diriku telah ter-cakar accidentally..wuwuwu)


& I don't think I'll ever forget the feeling when we were all kena serbu from every direction by the villagers, who were soooo excited about our mobile clinic that they just tolak2 je each other (masa nak naik weighing scale and measure the height tu hehe), tak kire makcik ke pakcik ke adek ke baby pun!! wah rindunye..

ok,, i could go on and on with this but i don't think i will because that's not the real reason i'm writing here by the way.

ANyways, I was browsing the internet, and came upon the Islamic relief Website,(www.islamic-relief.com) a great website that offers information on relief works done by Muslims in poor countries eg Bangladesh, Palestine, Iraq etc.also on appeal and donations, .. etc..
They have inspiring live stories on the people in these poor countries,
galleries of the places they visited and others.

They even have this really cute game online on relief missions : Helping poor people to a better life, where you kinda drop aid to hospitals /villages etc... comel tak??! http://www.islamic-relief.com/hilal/


And finally, the famous quote from Quran :)
"Whoever saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind" Qur'an 5:32

Of course,be reminded that we're doing all this with no other reason except with the intention to please Allah and seek His redha, as also the rest of our deeds :) [if not rugi la kite tak dpt pahala nnt!]

not an average doctor

I don't want to be just another average doctor. In fact, I want to be an extraordinary doctor, one who is driven not just by passion to serve in the medicine field, but more than that, is driven by the intention to do things for the sake of pleasing Allah swt. I want my ambition-to seek His redha, as my ultimate goal in becoming a doctor, 'it' as the reason I'm doing what I'm doing or will be doing. I want to do everything for the sake of Him.

So, pray for me, don't let me be led astray by the worldly life, and all its wealth and the possessions . Don't let fame drive me to do things, don't let materials be my target and objective. Keep me reminded of things that matter, keep me reminded of doing things for the ummah, for their benefit, and not merely for my own. Keep me on my firm ground. You will help me there, won't you friends, and sisters?

monologue

at the end of the day,
it is what Allah thinks that matters the most.
