Ahoy people.
Yes. Yes. I know that I didn’t blog as much as my latest
entry was on February. To think that I’m on internship now, do you must know
that I’m working every single day? Weekends included. Not for internship but I
got other part-time job [teaching] to attend to. Luckily, I only work for a few
hours and Alhamdulillah is the location of my workplace is just a few bus stops
away from my house. Blessed, I am.
So as for Internship, do many know that I started my
Internship late? Many other students started on the 15 April and then there’s
me and other minority interns that started on the 22 April. My facilitator
said, “Start Late, End Late”. Yah. One does not need to emphasize on that. I
know, I know.
*I’m going to talk
about the process of waiting for internship so please bear with me.* LOL.
After UT3 completed, we RP students had about 2 months to
enjoy ourselves, break free from school stuff and probably work? For that
intense 2 months, I was waiting impatiently in receiving my internship placing.
Many students had already received their confirmation placing company for
internship in the first few weeks of March, signed the confirmation letter and
contacted their liaison officers. For some unknown reason, mine internship was
delayed.
Then I thought. Why not make good use of time in turning to
Allah for help? I asked God for ease during my internship journey, no java codings
[I hate Codings] and no laborious task for me to handle. Every now and then did
I always ask him that.
"O you who have believed, seek help through patience
and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient." [2:153, Quran]
Just 5 days before my internship officially started, my
liaison officer contacted me. He said I got rejected by a bank. *Sobs Sobs.* That
said, he would find other companies to cater an internship place for me. I was
disheartened as I got refused by a bank. But then, I learn something new. Islam
and Bank and Interest cannot go hand in hand.
The Prophet Mohammad, may Allah’s mercy and
peace be upon` him, said in his farewell sermon: “God has forbidden you to take
Riba, therefore all riba obligation shall henceforth be waived. Your capital,
however, is yours to keep. You will neither inflict nor suffer inequity. God
has judged that there shall be no riba and that all the riba due to `Abbas ibn
`Abd al Muttalib shall henceforth be waived.”[3]
Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) cursed the one who
deals with Riba. From Jabir (ra): The Prophet (pbuh) cursed the receiver and
the payer of riba, the one who records it and the two witnesses to the
transaction and said: "They are all alike [in guilt]." [Sahih
al-Muslim, Sahih Al-Bukhari, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, Bahiqi and Musnad Ahmad]
I’ve made researched about interest [riba] in banks and all.
I thank Allah to not grant me a place in the bank. It’s simply because he
wouldn’t want me to have interest in part of my salary. I always believe that whatever
Allah takes from me, He will definitely grants me with something BETTER and NEWER.
"Be patient, for your patience is with the help of Allah."

Now, I’m in my 3rd week of internship. I couldn’t
disclose the company name where I’m interning but I just want to highlight that I am
having fun and enjoyable time here! No codings, No bossy supervisor, No hypocrites’
colleagues, No No No! Alhamdulillah! What I like most of my internship is my JOBSCOPE!!
Wanna know what’s my job scope is? Ehehehe.
WRITING. You wouldn’t have any idea how much I love to
write. In school too, I belonged in some writing CCA. I just love to pen my
thoughts down, reflect and use some flowery phrases in my writing. As I am
placed in an IT security company, I need to write up about IT security solution
products in an email format and blast it to thousands of random recipients.
Seems fun, but oh boy are there tons of thinking, reading and editing to do.
I believe that my internship in this company will be a
smooth sailing one. 7 August, I can’t wait to meet you…..happily because that’s
when my internship ends.
Till we meet again.
In Shaa Allah
