Uwais Alqarni Nama Anak Siti Sarah
by Muzaffar Mustapa | 13 Aug 2011 |

"Sarah baru buat pemeriksaan tadi (Rabu), dan doktor dah sahkan Sarah dan Shuib akan dapat anak lelaki. Shuiblah orang yang paling seronok sebab dia memang nak anak lelaki. Sarah tidak kisah pun sebenarnya. Lelaki ke perempuan, Sarah terima sahaja. Disebabkan dah tahu jantina anak, Sarah dah pun pilih nama anak iaitu Uwais Alqarni. Saya pilih nama ini sebab saya sangat kagum dengan ketaatan Uwais kepada ibunya. Bahkan, Rasulullah S.A.W pernah memberitahu yang doa Uwais dimakbulkan oleh Allah kerana ketaatannya itu,” cerita Sarah yang kini hamil enam bulan

Berkongi pengalaman kehamilan pertamanya itu, Sarah memberitahu dia tidak mengalami alahan yang terlalu teruk. Cuma dalam tempoh tiga bulan pertama dia banyak mengambil supplemen untuk mendapat khasiat yang diperlukan tubuh badan. Malah, sepanjang tempoh berpuasa ini, baru sehari dia tidak berpuasa. Itu pun kerana perlu menjalani pemeriksaan kesihatan. Dalam masa yang sama, dia juga tidak mengidam benda yang pelik-pelik.

Berkongsi pengalaman berpuasa sebagai seorang isteri, Sarah mengakui yang dia tidak susah menjaga makan minum suaminya. Ini kerana suaminya itu bukan seorang yang memilih makanan.

“Shuib akan makan apa sahaja yang Sarah masak. Dia tidak memilih. Masakan yang ringkas-ringkas pun dia akan makan. Untuk bulan puasa ini, kami selalu berbuka di rumah sahaja. Kalau ada jemputan berbuka barulah berbuka di luar. Untuk sahur pula, saya memang selalu masak lebih. Jadi bila bangun pagi nanti, saya hanya panaskan apa yang ada. Semuanya ringkas sahaja,” ujar Sarah.

Sementara itu, Sarah juga sempat memberitahu yang dia dan Shuib baru sahaja selesai merakamkan lagu duet berjudul “Cinta Itu Nyawa” yang digubah oleh Aidit Alfian. Lagu yang ditulis oleh Ad Samad itu menceritakan kisah percintaannya dengan Shuib sebelum ini.

“Ikut perancangan, lagu ini akan dilancarkan selepas Raya nanti. Sebenarnya kami pun tidak sangka akan rakamkan lagu ini untuk pendengar. Pada mulanya, kami hanya mahu buat untuk perkahwinan tempoh hari sahaja. Tapi, selepas Abang Aidit kata Shuib boleh menyanyi, kami fikir apa salahnya untuk mencuba. Kalau dapat sambutan yang baik, mungkin ada lagi projek duet daripada kami,” ulas Sarah ceria.

London riots: Man charged with robbing Asyraf

A man has been charged with robbing a Malaysian student who fell victim to thieves pretending to help him during the riots in London, the Telegraph reported Saturday.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said Reece Donovan, of Milton Court, Cross Road, Chadwell Heath, Romford, Essex, had been charged with robbing Asyraf Haziq Rossli, the Telegraph reported.

Asyraf, 20, who won a scholarship to the UK to study accountancy, was rushed to hospital with a broken jaw on Monday after being set upon during London's riots less than a month after arriving in Britain.



Asyraf, who was discharged from hospital on Friday said he harboured no grudges

The attack prompted widespread anger after police said hooded youths initially pretended to help Asyraf before allegedly going through his backpack, stealing his mobile phone and wallet, in Barking, east London, on Monday night.

The incident was captured in footage recorded on a mobile phone and posted on the video website YouTube.

The footage came to define the depths stooped to by those who wreaked havoc on the capital's streets.

Asyraf was discharged from hospital on Friday and, at a press conference, said he harboured no grudges.

Student charged with killing principal

A 17-year-old student charged with first-degree murder in the slaying of a school principal in the US, told investigators that he did so because he did not like her.

Eduardo Marmolejo said he had planned to stab Suzette York, 48 on the third day of classes, when he knew he would be alone with her in a classroom.

Marmolejo was charged with killing the principal on Wednesday at Memphis Junior Academy, a Seventh-day Adventist school of about 100 students in Memphis, Tennessee.

State law allows police to release the names of juveniles charged with first-degree murder.

The killing shocked current and former students of the school which is located next to a church and a cemetery in a residential section of east Memphis.

Students described York as a caring person who taught science and math before becoming principal in 2008.

Her body was found lying in a pool of blood by a teacher at about 11:20am on Wednesday.
