Tafseer Quran Surrah Al Falaq, 113

''My Tafsser al Quran Project''

Surrah al Falaq (The Daybreak)

Assalamualaikum wbt. Hello?

Bismillah. Today I'm going to do tafseer Quran for surrah Al Falaq. The surrah with five ayyah and it's Madaniyyah. I can't explain more and about behind the stories for this surrah -but Abu Saíd al Khudri said; ''Allah Messenger (Prophet Muhammad) used to seek refuge with Allh from the jinn and from the evil eye until the Mu'wadhatain (Surrah Al Falaq and An Nas) were revealed. There are lots comparison between these two surrah; al Falaq is you seek protection of Allah from uncontrolled physical harm especially in ''dhunya'', while An Nas is you ask Allah protection from inner and outside harm toward ourselves especially in ''deen''. 

MasyaAllah, Quran always related with one to another. That's why this kitab is too perfect for who's explore more about it and bring unexpected learning sense in every aspect. Alhamdulillah, I'm speechless. In the end of this surrah, I wish you will recognize the real evil that you want Allah keep it away from all of us. There are four classification; from obvious evil, from dark night, from the blow knot and from the envious one. InsyaAllah, may Allah protect and bless our every Muslims life. Without wasting any time, lets do this.

Bismillahirrahmannirrahim.

1-Say O Prophet Muhammad, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak''.

This ayyah is continuation from surrah Al Ikhlas that state of who is Allah; and here shows the word ''al Falaq''. There are several deeper meaning toward these; the owner of dawn or Fajr, the one that bring new day or the one that split from darkness.

Lesson to learn: After a long night of rest, Allah wake we up to a new day and new life. The Muslims then shows this grateful feeling by Fajr prayer (here my post if you want to read). In some part, Allah gives this opportunity for us to repent our last sin too. For me, with anything you do for that day at least make yourself 1% better than yesterday.

2-From the obvious evil or in whatever He created.

The obvious evil is Shaytaan or Iblis or spelling Iblees, a figure that frequently mention in the Quran which command to prostrate or submission himself to Adam but refused. After that, he pull of from heaven to hell and promised to influence human to be like him. Shaytaan then keep on ask Adam to eat the prohibited fruit, where when he did that- Allah sent Adam down to earth.

Lesson to learn: Who's Muslim enemy? It's them. In Quran 7:17, ''Iblis promised-Because You have sent me astray, surely I will lie wait against human on Your straight path. Then, I will come to them from before them and behind them, from their right and left. And You will not find of them as thankful ones.'' Then, makes a lots of gratefulness to Allah and may He bless us in this life.

3-And from the evil of the night when it grow darks.

Who's is the evil of the night? It itself, the darkness. In here, Allah tell us that don't keep yourself in darkness. When it is the night, stay at home because everything related to it will pull you to the accident or harm. Even in psychology of colors, black image are look so dangerous, mysterious and more to negativity. 

Lesson to learn: That's why when it sunset time or Maghrib, keep yourself in the home. Just spends more time with family members, recover yourself with healthy dinner, take a body rest after long working day and sleep well after that. In this time, you also can focuses on prayer or recite more Quran until the sun rise or dawn.

Darkness cannot be out with darkness, this is happened to us psychologically. If you see yourself start to fall slowly to it, pull yourself out. Find the light in every angel, try harder until sweat cover all over your body. Push yourself in any reasons and get out from that environment. You can do it, and keep in dhua'and ask Allah blessing for our journey. InsyaAllah.

4-From the evil of those withes casting spells by blowing onto knots.

The word ''naffassati'', women breaths; seems look normal but it's evil when she blows onto the knots with some spell. You can see this articles here about Muslim's belief and practices related to supernatural phenomena-by Pew Research Centre. Subhanallah, may Allah protect us from this evil eyes. The knot or something go around if it's so tight can bring a messy life in someone or sent them to death.  

Lesson to learn: As a women itself, we're pretend to be a gossip girl, It somehow bring ''nafas'' to another ''nafas'' and to another. We spread lies or scandal or unclear facts, which actually bring more harm than benefit in average. If you heard some rumors that you know it is not true, don't add the fire or make it more worse. The best practices are stop it and stay quiet. From that you but a barrier to this unnecessary things also need to stop from infected to others by you don't tell them about it. You stop the continuation and that's it.

5-And from the evil of an envier when they envy.

The envier, ''hasad'', is the one who feeling of something missing in his heart and need some more about it. And when he see the someone that have what he wants, the desire bring out the ''hasada''. Meaning of that word is the uncontrolled emotion, the evil inner part of him. Which that can bring to action or behavior of negativity, harm or even pain to himself or to another person. 

Lesson to learn: Control your emotion! Control your mind! How to do that? I also not sure but keep a healthy food intake, quality of sleep, good exercises ad breathing, cope well your bad experiences, stay away from ''drugs'' and stay in positive influence environment. One more thing, the most importantly is forgive yourself or others and let it go. Why need to be distress, jealousy and worry much about something; you the one ruin own life when you can choose to be happy. Again, see the first ayyah-Allah give us a new day and chance every time for us to make changes. InsyaAllah, there is the light for our future. 

Assalamualaikum and see you again. 

My experience about braces, part 1

Hai brace-ish,

Are you want to apply braces? Or are you already in these club already? Anyhow, whatever reason you come here to my blog, I hope you find the answer and can go on with your life. So let me told you about my experience with this wire things, u-huh. Look scar, but don't worry. It's nothing, at first the past two days need took a painkiller and the rest is you and bland food. Hahah, just think how wonderful you are going to change one day after all of this story line of your teeth come to the end. The fun fact is you may lost weight around three to five kilogram. Don't be surprises.  

Braces in Islam? Islam prohibited if you change your normal physical in the reason to look more beautiful. In my cases, I don't do it for beauty or what. There are many reasons to it; I figure out my teeth in one sided are not in straight line. Then, it is effect the way I chew my foods. Also the way I smiled and speak, I then slowly lost in confidence to speak in public. Then, I really want to the braces. In the process for it, the scan show the real reason why my teeth can't be in straight line; check out story below. After I know why, the doctor really recommended I do the braces. Finish. 

Let me tell you the real brutal tips, find a right dentist is more important than any ever decision you made. This is because, he/she's the one who track your teeth position and change it for that period. So, make a lots of research and asked some questions there and here before you pick the places. Ask about the types of braces you going to apply, the prices upfront or monthly, the material and the retainer after that. You can go to the cheaper one, if the dentist are quiet competence. Somehow, it's a very risky one. Overall the price I spent for this treatment is around Rm 7,000-8,000. Upfront pay is Rm 500 to 1K, get ready your money guys. 

Upon you go there to do the braces, the doctor will run some examination. He will re-confirm what types of braces; metal or transparent one. Then, scan your teeth and decide either you're fine without extra tooth to be remove. If yes, get ready to remove one or two teeth. For me, doctor just detect that my missing tooth from young age is the abnormal one-it's appear in the scan that the tooth just in the line grow and in horizontal line. A normal tooth should in vertical line! Also near the nose posture. What are you doing doing up there, dude?

So, the doctor refer me to do the specific scan to examine my whole maxillary and jaw. I go to the nearest private hospital, mine is private dental clinic. He then ask my permission to do a second opinion either I need to go extraction open jaw surgery or just let it go. In the end, they agree that let the tooth up there as long as there is no pain, no infection and etc. But he said, if in future the symptoms appear, I need to go for surgery. Nah, I hope that weird guy will hang there until forever. 

After all clear, I the doctor then proceed the cleaning and removal of plaque especially. The rest I'm not sure, but I think it's took about one half hour or two hour for the procedure. In next day, he then apply the braces metal for me. Get use to the medical heat, the hard glue and wire applied. Yes, you need to breath and exhale by your nose properly for that long. Before you get out from the chair, slowly again slowly, use your hand or not recommended tongue to feel the end wire. If you can feel it, ask the doctor to cut it short, this can help you in preventing the ulcer and laceration cheek mucus layer.

At the first night is like h***, so don't think much. Just took the painkiller and ate a soft bland foods, don't force them to work out for you. Drink a lot of water because trust me, you will felt a dried layer inside mouth. If you want to reduce ulcer, you can applied the clear paste look like. If you find a symptoms of infection or allergies like two to three days fever, promptly seek your dentist for further action. Allergic during braces? Huh, I experience twice. I will continue this story in next page. Part two, click here!
