I have been unable to study the arabic lessons since our arrival in Malaysia, mainly because the slowness of the internet in Seremban. But now after the internet has been installed in our house in Melaka (with much hassle), I can resume my lessons. The internet speed is alright, at least the videos can run smoothly.
Nouman Ali Khan is really a man of deep understanding. I've never thought of the real meaning of this arabic/Quranic phrase before-coolness of the eyes (penyejuk mata). The psychological torment of Queen Asiah, wife of Pharaoh. And Rasulullah (saw)'s description of his prayers as coolness of the eyes, not responsibility, Allah's command or ..anything else of our interpretation of the solat.
Note to self- Coolness of the eyes means a happiness that bring you tears of joy, or a shade in the storm.
Though I want to study a lot and I'm trying my best to study what I can, but I will have to adopt the attitude of Kang Azzam in Ketika Cinta Bertasbih- yang sedikit itu kalau berkat itulah yang berguna.
