NAMA SAYA...

bismillahirrahmanirrahim waassalamualaikum,

hmm, suddenly this topic popped out from my head and remembering me of my younger years.

I think this was happened in my year 1 or 2 in primary school. One day, during my Agama Islam class, my ustazah asked us to tell her the meaning of our names. So, it was like a kind of assignment thing for us to take home and ask the parents. So, back at home I called papa, and asked him,

Me: “… papa, along punya nama tu, maksud dia apa? SITI NORBAITI tu, apa makna dia? …”

Papa: “… hmm, nama along? Maksud dia, cahaya rumahku …”

Me: “… ooo, cahaya rumahku … “

So then, the next day, when it’s time for our kelas Agama, I told-lah my ustazah the meaning of my name loudly in the class.

Me: “… nama saya SITI NORBAITI; cahaya rumahku …” (sambil sengih2…)

Then, I don’t know why one of my naughty-class-buddy shouted at me and say, “… hahahaha, nape ayah awak bagi nama awak, RUMAH??? Hahahaha RUMAH??? …”

grrrrrrrrr… thinking like want to slap him right away…

but then, I did realize that almost all of my friends had such a sweet meaning beneath their names such as nur farhana- cahaya kegirangan kami, zinnia-bunga, norlina-cahaya kelembutan, nor faezah-cahaya kejayaan and etc etc. etc. …

so, balik rumah muka muncung sedepa, heheheheh… I really need explanations from papa. Why in the earth does he give me that name. I’m not feeling special at all… poor me, huhuhuhu

Me: “… huhuhu, nape papa bagi nama along x sedap. Derang kata, along rumah yang leh jalan2lah, apa lah… (sambil memuncung2kan mulut berlipat kali ganda depanya)

Papa: “… aik? …”

papa pun explained, kata papa nama tu, ada byk maksud yang tersirat which I should ponder about. Cahaya rumahku means bg papa, seseorang yang menerangi kehidupan seseorang yg lain. Cuba fikir betapa susahnya hidup dlm rumah yg sgt gelap, susah kan? So, papa’s hoping that aku akan jadi cahaya yg menerangi rumahtangganya + cahaya yg kan menerangi rumahtanggaku sendiri suatu hari nanti .

Quote kata2 papa, “… kalau along jadi anak, jadi anak yg solehah, kalau along jadi kakak, jadi kakak yg baik, kalau jadi isteri, jadi isteri yg taat + baik + solehah …”

Hmm, from that day on, I do really feel so special to papa, bangganya dpt jadi ‘cahaya rumah’ papa. And I think that my name is much more special than my others friends’ name- at that time. (you guys’ names are also special in your own perspective, yeah?)

So, bila dah masuk sekolah menengah, dalam kelas Quran Sunnah, ada sekali tu ustaz nak bg result exam paper by our name-meaning. So, bila turn nama aku, ustaz panggil,

“… cahaya rumahtanggakuuuuu …”

semua budak kelas aku mcm… “ fuhhhhhhhhhhhh…”

hahahaha, kembang sekejap + dpt result exam pun best gak!!! Then, I do realized that the name is so special to me. Nama tu kan satu doa. Patutlah papa kalau nak panggil aku, sure panggil nama aku penuh2. SITI NORBAITIIIIIIIIIIIIII… heheheh…

Justeru,

Bila dah m’ningkat dewasa, aku mula menyimpan angan2 menamakan bakal anak2ku dgn nama yg m’nunjukkan harapan aku pd mereka. Nama anak2 ni kan diibaratkan satu doa oleh kedua ibu + bapanya… so, that is what I’m thinking of at that time.

Hmm, ada sesetengah org x kisah pun nak bg nama anak diaorg apa, even ada yg x prepare pun nama utk anak yg bakal dilahirkan. itu hak mereka and aku x leh nak p’tikaikan. But, 4 me, it is a different thing.

Aku rasa, nama tu salah satu antara perkara2 yg sgt penting. Kengkadang aku pun rasa sedih gak, ada org yg ambik sambil lewa jer psl ni. Mungkin diorang ada sbb yg munasabah kan, mana tau? ada org kata, apa ada pd nama? huh? even, dlm Islam pun disarankan menamakan nama anak2 kita dgn nama2 yg baik. Dan even disunatkan kalau x silap, menamakan anak pd hari ketujuh dia dilahirkan (hmm, betulkan kalau t’silap). still nak kata, apa ada pd nama? isk2...

Heheheh, x lah nanti esok, bila dah besar anak tanya kat kita,
“… ummi, nape ummi bg nama saya ……. tu? “

then kita jwb,

“… errrr, tak tau!!! Tak tau nak letak nama apa… so, HENTAM saje laa…”

OR

“… nape ummi letak nama Janet?”

“… eh, you kan lahir kat London, Janetlah. Glamour skit…”

isk2….

Huhuuu, kan tak ke sedih anak kita tu… at least, by giving him/her a good name with a good reason will make them feel so special and try to achieve the hopes that been given for by their parents.

Haaa, I think that makes you guys wondering, why in the earth is baiti naming her baby `Illiyyin Aufa.

(isk, siaran ulangan ni…)

`Illiyyin: dlm surah al-muthaffifin disebutkan `illiyyin sbg tempat simpanan kitab amalan2 yg baik. (opposites to Sijjin- tmpt simpanan kitab amalan2 jahat atau salah satu nama neraka) Dan `illiyyin juga ditafsirkan sbg nama salah satu drpd syurga2 Allah. Kenapa pilih nama syurga? sbg harapan dlm mengharapkan syurga Allah. xde sapa kat dunia ni yg x impikan syurga Allah, kan?

Aufa: yg setia or yg b’pegang teguh pd janji. Harap dia dpt jadi seorang wanita yg sgt setia, like her ummi. Hehehehe , just joking. Seorg yg setia to her ummi, abi and her future hubby and of course seorang yg setia dlm m'perjuangkan Islam, insya Allah...

waAllahu a`lam bi sawab...



ps: so, moral of the story, berbanggalah dgn nama anda + jgn lupa utk menamakan anak2 or bakal anak2 anda dgn nama2 yg baik. kerana 'di sana'; di padang masyar kita kan dipanggil dgn maksud nama kita...
