Hati Emas - M Nasir

Nao tagged me. These are the rules for the tag.

1.Put your music on shuffle.
2. For each question, press the next button to get your answer.
3. You must write that song name down no matter how silly it sounds!
4. No cheating!
5. Tag others.

Unlike Nao, I don't have an iPod. So, I used the Windows Media Player on my office's PC instead.

IF SOMEONE SAYS "IS THIS OKAY" YOU SAY?
Kekasih Gelapku - Ungu.
Not a good start. Can’t think of a direct or semi-direct way this song would be answering the question.  


WHAT WOULD BEST DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONALITY?
Al-Hasyr – Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid

The person with the best akhlak is Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Aishah told that his akhlak is (comparable to?) the Qur’an. If my akhlak is like one surah from the Qur’an, I’d be very happy. In a way, I was ‘driven away’ from my homeland. I wasn’t oppressed like the muhajirin. I travelled away from Malaysia to learn. I hope Allah accepts my hijrah.

HOW DO YOU FEEL TODAY?
Al-Fajr - Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid
Hmmm… I did saw the day break today. And I feel happy to start a new day.


WHAT IS YOUR MOTTO?

Kau Pergi Jua – Adam Ahmad
I know that everyone will go eventually. It would be everyone’s motto, no?


WHAT IS YOUR LIFE"S PURPOSE?
You Needed Me - Westlife
Oh, this one is so appropriate. I plan to make a separate entry for it.


WHAT DO YOUR FRIENDS THINK OF YOU?
An-Nasr - Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid

I’ve had some successes. If I get my PhD within 3 years, I’d indeed be seen as victorious. I want to be victorious in religious matters as well.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT VERY OFTEN?
Al-Infitar - Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid
This is another surah describing the Day of Judgement. Well, I do quite often think about THE end.

 
WHAT IS 2+2?

Camar Yang Pulang – Aishah

So, there are 4 returning seagulls, innit?

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR BEST FRIEND?

Al-Asr - Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid
A best friend would make you remember Allah often. He would be giving the reminders with patience and with the truth. He would not be among those who are in loss.


WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
Gerimis di Lautan - Sudirman
How could liking a person feel like having a light rain in the ocean? Is it because of the rainbow that it creates?


WHAT IS YOUR LIFE STORY?

Ar-Rahman - Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid
Then which of the favours of your Lord will ye deny?’  That is perhaps the most emotional verse from the Quran for me. And the whole surah describes the creation of humans and their future. So, I gues this Surah IS indeed my life story – before, here, and hereafter. May I be blessed with His Mercy.


WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOUR GROW UP?

Al-Jinn - Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid
NO. I don’t want to be a jinn. But I pray that I’ll be like some of the Jinns in their faith and submission to Allah.


WHAT WILL THEY PLAY AT YOUR FUNERAL?
Tiada Dusta Antara Kita – Broery Marantika & Dewi Yull
I want to die as a Muslim and Mukmin. No songs at my funeral. Having said that, I fully submit to the believe that there will be no hiding the truth from the angels once I’m six feet under.


WHAT WILL YOU DANCE TO AT YOUR WEDDING?

Everytime I Look at You – Il Divo
I don’t dance at wedding. But it sounds like a good song to dance at a wedding. Maybe I can have a private dancing session to this music.


WHAT DO YOU THINK WHEN YOU SEE THE PERSON YOU LIKE?
Al-Kafirun - Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid
My business is mine, your business is yours. Even though I like you, don’t expect me to give up my values, principles, believe, and so on. And I don’t expect you to gave up yours either. For you your religion, for me my religion.


WHAT IS YOUR HOBBY/INTEREST?
Bersamamu – Adam Ahmad
If being-with-you is my hobby, it would be a passionate one. ‘Erti kasih, erti memberi kesayangan bagiku; erti sayang, oh ertinya bermanja-manja denganmu; erti manja itulah ertinya bercinta nan suci; erti cinta, engkau kan bersamaku, semoga kekal abadi.” You’ll always be my sayang, my baby, manja.


WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SECRET?
Al-Muzzammil – Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid

The surah talks about the ‘appointment’ as a messenger for Muhammad s.a.w. Its more like getting a great responsibility. And I think I know my calling. But, who knows? May be Allah still keep my true calling a secret from me.


WHAT DO YOU THINK OF YOUR FRIENDS?
Cahaya Cinta – Siti Nurhaliza

Yessssssss….. friends who put a smile on my face are indeed like the brilliant glow of love.


WHAT'S THE WORST THING THAT COULD HAPPEN?
Seperti Dulu – Siti Nurhaliza

Quite right. Shouldn’t repeat history, right? Especially the bad ones.


WHAT MAKES YOU CRY?
Al-Alaq - Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid
Mmmm.. I guess, reciting this surah in the middle of the night could make me cry. Contemplating about how I was created, especially on my birthday, would perhaps make me tearful.


WHAT MAKES YOU LAUGH?
Aku Pencintamu – Felix
Hahaha… if somebody I barely know say ‘Aku Pencintamu’, I’d indeed laugh.


WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU REGRET?
Hilang Berganti – Sudirman

I don’t regret what I’ve let go. ‘Yang patah kan tumbuh, yang hilang kan berganti’. And I do appreciate having a peace of mind from letting go.

HOW WILL YOU DIE?
Cinta Beralih Arah – Aishah

Well, as I said before, I pray that I die a Muslim & Mukmin. I hope I will die with my heart fully submitting to and loving Him.


WILL YOU EVER GET MARRIED?
An-Naziat - Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid

An-Naziat refers to ‘the (angels) who tear out (the souls of the wicked) with violence’. The surah talks about yaum ul-qiyamah. Don’t know how to relate it to marriage.

WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK OF YOU?
Maryam – Abdul Basit
Errr… I hope they don’t think me as a gender-confused son. I hope that they’ll look at me and marvel at the miraculous process of creation. I hope to be a son who makes my parents nearer to Allah.


DOES ANYONE LIKE YOU?
Demi Kasih Kita - Siti Nurhaliza

Alrightee then. Someone likes me ‘demi kasih kita’.

WHAT SCARES YOU THE MOST?
An-Naba - Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid
Indeed it would. The great news would be scary to everyone.

Verily the Day of Sorting out is a thing appointed, 
The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds; 
And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors, 
And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage. 

Pretty scary, huh?


IF YOU COULD GO BACK IN TIME, WHAT WOULD YOU CHANGE?
Melawan Kesepian – Siti Nurhaliza
Could be true. I’d do things so that I’d be less ‘sepi’. But as it stands now, I’m not burdened by my ‘sepi’.


WHAT WOULD YOU SAY, WHEN YOU MEET YOUR BOSS?
Al-Kahf - Sheikh Mashary bin Rashid
No, I don’t think I’d say I’m ‘ahli gua’ to my boss. That would mean I’m not being productive.


WHAT WOULD YOU POST THIS AS?

Hati Emas – M Nasir
