Selamat Datang, Welcome and Ahlan!

Assalamualaikum and hi!

I am Auni B and welcome to Spark Nour blog. It's a pleasure to have you here, reading my first ever post on this squeaky clean newborn blog.

Just for heads up, I have deep interests about psychology, books, gardening, culture, al-Quran and Arabic. So you can expect me to write more on these topics. Sometimes when the melancholic days pass by, you may see me attempting poetry. Sometimes, I write in English and sometimes in Malay. I love both. 

I believe that knowledge is light (nour) that enlightens the darkness of ignorance (jahl). Each person has that bits or even tonnes of nour within him or herself.  If these bits of knowledge from what my little self possessed could benefit and inspire even a single person, then I will continue sharing, hopefully sparking nour along the way. 

To my old readers, especially my family members, my schoolmates and DQ-mates, 
Thank you for keeping up with my on and off writings. I had created this new blog for more mature content and a platform for me to continue polishing my writing skills. I may not possess the best writing skills, but I believe I could spread some good through this platform. 

To those who are new to my writings, 
Thank you for your interest in dropping by my humble blog. May you find good in some way, any kheir could do. 

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have suggestions for improvement or interesting topics to write about at sparkalittlenour@gmail.com.  All writings are under the intellectual and creativity right of Auni B. If you wish to share any of the content in this blog, do quote the source, author and  it is best to let me know about it first by emailing sparkalittlenour@gmail.com or contacting me via Facebook: Auni Baharin.

Stay tuned for future posts, mates!

Salaam and ciao,

Kaedah Saya Hafaz Surah Al-Quran ketika Kecil

-
Image
Ketika saya masih di bangku sekolah rendah, ibu dan ayah menghantar saya ke sebuah sekolah integrasi agama swasta di sebuah bandar metropolitan.  Dari situlah bermulanya langkah awal saya berjinak-jinak menghafaz al-Quran. Sejak Darjah 1, setiap murid akan mengambil subjek Hafazan. Kami bermula dengan surah-surah lazim iaitu surah an-Nas, al-Falaq, al-Ikhlas sehingga habis juzuk 30. Ada sesetengah pelajar (kebanyakannya lelaki) kapasitinya lebih laju; mereka mampu hafaz surah-surah amalan harian yang agak panjang seperti surah al-Mulk.  Ketika saya menamatkan darjah 4 di sekolah itu, alhamdulillah saya berjaya hafaz surah an-Nas sehingga surah al-Fajr. Walaupun sudah berpindah sekolah, saya teruskan menghafaz baki surah-surah lain dalam juzuk 30 kecuali an-Naba’ secara kendiri sebelum masuk sekolah menengah.  Saya bukanlah pelajar paling laju dalam kelas dulu bila bab hafazan😅 tapi saya bersyukur dengan kapasiti diri yang Allah izinkan ketika itu. Tidak terfikir pun untu...
