Open House at Titian Kaseh

Assalamualaikum everyone!On 4 October 2009, YMP held an open house together with the children at the Titian Kaseh Orphange in Kuala Lumpur. We had such a fulfilling afternoon with them! It was so enjoyable to see the kids laughing, buzzing with excitement, climbing and jumping over all of us. They clearly had a jolly good time, Alhamdulillah.The open house started at 12.30 with a round of introductions. MashaAllah, their enthusiasm was just so contagious! The children got excited just by counting numbers! So when it came time to give out balloons, streamers, and ribbons to decorate, the atmosphere was one of chaotic excitement to say the least.We then took a break after 1.30 for prayers followed by lunch, which in itself was a spectacle.

Sister Azra's really sorry she had to postpone it but don't be sad though as we're arranging for the topic to be done in one of our get togethers in June insyaAllah (God Willing).

You, Me & Planet Earth

Assalamu'alaikum,“The creation of the heavens and the earth is far greater than the creation of mankind. But most of mankind do not know it.” Qur’an, 40:56 “It is He who has appointed you as viceroys in the earth.” Qur’an, 6:165Allah has described mankind as His Guardians on earth. It is therefore our responsibility to take care of other creatures and the earth itself. Yet how many of us take these duties seriously as an integral part of our way of life? Most of us probably know that the coming 28th March 09 is marked for Earth Hour.

The Power of One

Salam (Peace)How are you all doing?! It's been a long time since our last gathering and we're all excited to see y'all again! We sincerely apologise for the 3 weeks plus hiatus as we were in the midst of restructuring YMP so that we can provide better get togethers and funtivities just for you guys! :) This Sunday, we'll be discussing on the much thought about topic regarding the true Power of our Creator, together with Ustaz Hussein Yee. Ever heard of the saying, "As long as you have faith, it will happen"? Well, do you really believe in that? Is it true that it just takes faith and everything will happen the way we want without us even lifting a finger? Or does it all depend on the sweat on our backs to make things happen and nothing else? It is a dog-eat-dog world out there isn't...

The Plant: A Lesson for Every Believer

Salam (Peace)!Here's a beautiful reminder for all us, taken from here:Bismillah, The believers contemplate on the ayaat of Allah that have been left upon the earth, and only they see the creation around them as ayaat. Allah ta’ala says, وَتَرَى الْأَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَإِذَا أَنزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَاءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَأَنبَتَتْ مِن كُلِّ زَوْجٍ بَهِيجٍ “And you see the earth barren and lifeless, but when We pour down rain on it, it is stirred (to life), it swells, and it sprouts forth every kind of beautiful growth (in pairs).” (22:5) What is the lesson for the believer in this? Allah ta’ala reminds us that this plant is an ayah. Whenever we see a plant, we should remember the resurrection. A simple plant is a reminder of the Day of Judgment for the believer. Why? Just as the...

Let's Talk About Gaza

Salam (Peace) all...The attack on Gaza has made an impact on the world.However, some still have mixed feelings about the Palestinian conflict. Should they care? Why? It doesn't affect them, so why should they bother? It's so far away anyways.. we have bigger problems at home. Solve those first before thinking about something on the other side of the world.So,This is a simple 'open circle' for everyone to share their views on this, in support of or protesting or confused.Because, after all that has happened the past few weeks, it's good we gather our thoughts and reflect. After 22 days of massacre, it only brings relief it doesn't go on any longer. But even as we "speak", the attacks have started again. How did the 'war' make you feel?...

UNITY FOR HUMANITY

Wow, what a year it has been so far! And it’s not even a full January yet.We had the great opportunity to introduce ourselves in the BIGGEST YOUTH CONVENTION – YOUTH ’09. It was a wonderful experience for us. Despite having to compete with the ‘Battle of the Bands’ that was happening at the same time, we managed to draw a crowd. It was good to be able to reach out to others and show what we’re all about.All of us met up early on that Sunday morning, nervous but excited at the same time. We had our marketing strategy ready; a ‘sandwich board’. It was hilarious! Whatever embarrassment we initially felt about giving out flyers to strangers was thrown out the door. I mean, what better way to overcome a small embarrassment than to have an even bigger embarrassment eh? Lo and behold, it was a big...
