An end, a new beginning: Sharpen the Saw

Alhamdulillah, the first quarter of the academic year has completed and today, the Meet The Parents session has successfully took place in IIS (P).

There's a lot to think back and reflect.

InshaAllah, the term break will be a good time for me (and other teachers too) to do some reflection, planning and empowerment of our own self.

It's an end, yet a new beginning.

May Allah open the way and make easy our tasks as the Khalifah (educator).

Thanks to all parents of IIS(P), for the feedback, support, care and trust for the teachers.

InshaAllah, we are here to complete and to give.

There is always, always, always room for improvement when solution is the core of the business.

Smile, open your heart and have a meaningful holidays!

Terribly Missing Them...

The 'therapy' is really soothing..listening to the beautiful voice of the children singing the song..

I truly miss KMS kids...

May Allah protect and bless them always.

Improvement begins with 'I'

I have learned a lot of lessons last week, Alhamdulillah.

And after all, those lessons are closely related to 'improvement' which is my bar of chocolate.

I would like to give a credit to my lecturer Dr. Abu Hassan for his simple yet meaningful words that has sparked some 'energy' to my own self.

"Apa pun yang kamu nak buat, mestilah ada disiplin, buat secara konsisten. Jaga hubungan dengan orang lain".

Although he is referring his words to our project paper or mini research, I just can't deny that, the advice is very much valid and applicable in a bigger scale of our daily life.

We should always have control on our own actions, be consistent (istiqamah) with the good deeds or effort and should maintain good rapport with people around us (ukhuwah ~ hablum minannaas).

So, let's improve brothers and sisters. Let's start little but consistent, InshaAllah.


For him (each person), there are angels in succession, before and behind him.

They guard him by the Command of Allah.

Verily, Allah will not change the (good) condition of a people as long as they do not change their state (of goodness) themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to Allah).

But when Allâh wills a people's punishment, there can be no turning it back, and they will find besides Him no protector.

(Al-Qur'an Surah Ar-Ra'du verse 11)
