The cliche quote on integrity is by C.S Lewis
INTEGRITY is doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
Hasad Dengki
Tazkirah oleh Dr Fareed Awae 21 Januari 2021,
Jauhilah sifat hasad dengki. Jangan cemburi nikmat yang Allah beri pada orang lain. Kita ada rezeki kita sendiri, insya Allah.
Perkongsian doa dari Dr Fareed
Leadership Talk Series with Professor Datuk Ir Dr Wahid Omar on 19 January 2021
In the talk given by Professor Datuk Ir Dr Wahid Omar, one that intrigues me is ‘jangan sampai integrity kita tercalar, macam kertas kalau diroyok takkan kembali seperti asal’
Absolutely true, trust is difficult to gain but easy to destroy.
Be Grateful
When you get something good, enjoy it.
And never forget to be thankful to Allah the Almighty
Indeed, We blessed Luqmân with wisdom, ˹saying˺, “Be grateful to Allah, for whoever is grateful, it is only for their own good. And whoever is ungrateful, then surely Allah is Self-Sufficient, Praiseworthy.”
Surah Luqman – 31:12
Happiness is enjoying little things in life
Difficult roads often lead to beautiful destinations.
The Nile River – 2016
Patience as mentioned in the Quran
و اصبروا إن الله مع الصابرين
“…and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.” [al-Anfal 8:46].
واستعينوا بالصبر والصلاة
“And seek assistance through patience and prayer…” [al-Baqarah 2:45].
وإن تصبروا وتتقوا لا يضركم كيدهم شيئا إن الله بما يعملون محيط
“…And if you are patient and fear Allah , their plot will not harm you at all. Indeed, Allah is encompassing of what they do.…” [Al ‘Imran 3:120].
وإن عاقبتم فعاقبوا بمثل ما عوقبتم به ولئن صبرتم لهو خير للصابرين
“And if you punish [an enemy, O believers], punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed. But if you are patient – it is better for those who are patient.” [an-Nahl 16:126].
واستعينوا بالصبر والصلاة وإنها لكبيرة إلا على الخاشعين
“And seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to Allah ]…” [al-Baqarah 2:45];
وجعلنا منهم أئمة يهدون بأمرنا لما صبروا وكانوا بآياتنا يوقنون
“…And We made from among them leaders guiding by Our command when they were patient and [when] they were certain of Our signs” [as-Sajdah 32:24];
إن في ذلك لآيات لكل صبار شكور
“…Verily in this are Signs for everyone who patiently perseveres and is grateful” [ash-Shura 42:33];
What to do when you disagree
An-Nisa’ 4:59
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ أَطِيعُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَأَطِيعُوا۟ ٱلرَّسُولَ وَأُو۟لِى ٱلْأَمْرِ مِنكُمْۖ فَإِن تَنَٰزَعْتُمْ فِى شَىْءٍ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَٱلرَّسُولِ إِن كُنتُمْ تُؤْمِنُونَ بِٱللَّهِ وَٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْءَاخِرِۚ ذَٰلِكَ خَيْرٌ وَأَحْسَنُ تَأْوِيلًا
O you who have believed, obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority among you. And if you disagree over anything, refer it to Allah and the Messenger, if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best [way] and best in result.

I dreamt big white dogs last night and there was a guy, I didn’t know who, kept on telling me that the dogs were harmless. He told me not to worry and asked me to walk pass through the dogs. I was wondering what is the meaning of the dream.
This morning, as usual, I flipped Al- Quran at random but not to find the meaning of my dream. It has become my habit to flipp the quran randomly every morning, to see what I can learn from it.
Quite shocking, when I flipped the Quran this morning, this is what I got.
Yusuf 12:101
رَبِّ قَدْ ءَاتَيْتَنِى مِنَ ٱلْمُلْكِ وَعَلَّمْتَنِى مِن تَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحَادِيثِۚ فَاطِرَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ أَنتَ وَلِىِّۦ فِى ٱلدُّنْيَا وَٱلْءَاخِرَةِۖ تَوَفَّنِى مُسْلِمًا وَأَلْحِقْنِى بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
My Lord, You have given me [something] of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of dreams. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous.”
Yusuf 12:102
ذَٰلِكَ مِنْ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَۖ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ أَجْمَعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَمْكُرُونَ
That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal, [O Muhammad], to you. And you were not with them when they put together their plan while they conspired.
