evacuation drill

In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful

Congratulations to the Welfare and Residential Bureau for conducting such a realistic evacuation drill in Mahallah Zainab Jahsy on the 24th of December 2010.
The alarm rang at 4.45 am and all students woke up from their sleep and went to the assembly points, which were the netball court for block B and C and the parking area beside the principal's house for block A.

It was a success as most of the students were alert and went to the respective assembly points quickly.

Then, Madam Asmeza gave her speech and gave some advices to all beloved residents.

At 5.10 am, the students were allowed to return to their rooms and advised to perform qiamullail and wait until Subuh before they continue their rest.

These are some guidelines and emergency evacuation procedures in case of fire:

Emergency Evacuation Procedures in Case of Fire

You discover a fire:

1. Help people in immediate danger
2. Warn others by shouting "Fire, Fire, Fire", raise the alarm.
3. Decide if you can put the fire out. If you are not sure, do not attempt to.
4. Don't attempt to use a fire extinguisher if you have never been instructed on how to use one.
5. If you can put out the fire then do so, if not proceed to evacuate the building.

You hear the fire alarm ringing; you must prepare to evacuate the building:

1. Switch off all computers, printers and electrical appliances.
2. Close all windows and doors.
3. Gather your personal belongings in preparation to immediately evacuate the building.
4. Organise/help other people in the room.

Evacuate the building and proceed to your Building Assembly Area:

1. Move at a quick walk, do not run.
2. If you have to move through a closed door that you cannot see through:
   1. Feel the door to see if it is hot;
   2. Look for smoke coming under the door;
   3. Open the door slowly and look around it to see if there is a fire behind it;
   4. If there is no fire on the other side, proceed through and close the door behind you;
3. Move to the Building Assembly Areaas quick as possible;
4. Report to your Warden that you/your group is there and if you know of anyone trapped in the building;
5. Remain in the Assembly Area until you are informed that you may leave or move by either the Building Warden or a member of the emergency services

You notice someone on the verge of panic:

1. Give them a task or responsibility;
2. The person will still require constant monitoring;
3. Do not hit them;
4. Take hold of one of their hands and guide them out of the building to the Assembly Area;
5. If they will not cooperate or start to grab hold of things. Leave them where they are;
6. Evacuate yourself and inform your Warden, the Building Warden, one of the security personnel, or the police or Fire and Rescue Services immediately.

Mobility impaired people

If you encounter a person with some form of physical disability that restricts their mobility. You may be required to assist them from the building. If you are unable to remove them from the building many stairwells have respite areas for mobility impaired persons. They can be left here, where they are shielded from the fire, and a person should wait with them until retrieved by emergency personnel on arrival. It is important to inform the emergency personnel or Building Warden of their location so that they can be retrieved as soon as possible.

If you are trapped in a room:

1. Exit through a window if you are on the ground floor;
2. If you are not on the ground floor:
3. Close the door;
4. Go to the window;
5. If there is smoke in the room open the window a little so you can breathe fresh air. If not, do not open the window. This can assist in the spread of fire into your area from lower floors;
6. Attract people's attention to your plight. This can be achieved by writing on a paper and sticking it to the window or calling out the window. If you open the window remember to close it again as this can be an entry point for fire. Do not open the window up fully;
7. If the room is filling with smoke, stay close to the ground. The air is cooler and oxygen is more plentiful in this region;
8. Wait for the Fire and Rescue Service to rescue you.

REMEMBER

1. Fires spread rapidly;
2. Fires produce thick black smoke that is difficult to see through and causes suffocation;
3. The freshest air will always be near the floor;
4. Move quickly. Do not run;
5. Be decisive;
6. Make a decision and follow that decision.

The Night Of Power

16 Things You Can Do On The Night Of Power(Laylatul Qadr)

Laylatul Qadr (the Night of Power) is described in the Quran as, "better than a thousand months" (97:3). Any action done on this night such as reciting the Quran, remembering Allah, etc. is better than acting for one thousand months which do not contain the night of Qadr.

Allah's Messenger used to exert himself in devotion during the last ten nights to a greater extent than at any other time." (Muslim). Allah's peace and blessings be upon our beloved Prophet.
Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, related that the Prophet said: Look for Laylatul Qadr on an odd-numbered night during the last ten nights of Ramadan (Bukhari).
The Prophet said: "Whoever prays during the night of Qadr with faith and hoping for its reward will have all of his previous sins forgiven." (Bukhari and Muslim recorded from Abu Huraira).
Here are some tips of things we can do on the Night of Power and the time before and after it.
1. Take a vacation for Allah
We take a break from our jobs for almost everything in life. Why not this time to focus on worshiping and thanking our Creator.
If this is not possible at least take a few days off if you can. This can make it easier to stay awake at night to do extra Ibadah, not having to worry about getting to work the next day.
It will also facilitate doing Itikaf.
2. Do Itikaf
It was a practice of the Prophet to spend the last ten days and nights of Ramadan in the masjid for Itikaf.
Those in Itikaf stay in the masjid all this time, performing various forms of zikr (the remembrance of Allah), like doing extra Salat, recitation and study of the Quran. They do not go outside the masjid except in case of emergencies, therefore, they sleep in the masjid. Their families or the masjid administration takes care of their food needs.
Itikaf of a shorter period of time, like one night, a day or a couple of days is encouraged as well.
3. Make this special Dua
Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: I asked the Messenger of Allah: 'O Messenger of Allah, if I know what night is the night of Qadr, what should I say during it?' He said: 'Say: O Allah, You are pardoning and You love to pardon, so pardon me.' "(Ahmad, Ibn Majah, and Tirmidhi).
The transliteration of this Dua is "Allahumma innaka `afuwwun tuhibbul `afwa fa`fu `annee"
4. Recite the Quran
Perhaps you can choose Surahs or passages from the Quran which you have heard in Tarawih this past Ramadan to recite.
If you attend a class where the recitation of the Quran is taught, this is a great time to put your knowledge into practice.
5. Reflect on the meaning of the Quran
Choose the latest Surah or Surahs you've heard in Tarawih and read their translation and Tafseer. Then think deeply about their meaning and how it affects you on a personal level.
(If you want to study the Quran with more understanding, check out Way to the Quran and Access to Quranic Arabic.
6. Get your sins wiped out
Abu Huraira narrated that the Messenger said: Whoever stands (in prayer) in Laylatul Qadr while nourishing his faith with self-evaluation, expecting reward from Allah, will have all of his previous sins forgiven. [Bukhari and Muslim).
Don't just pray using the shorter Surahs that you know. Try to make your prayers longer, deeper and meaningful. If you are familiar with longer Surahs, read the translation and explanation and then pray reciting these Surahs, carefully reflecting on the meaning while you pray.
Even if you are only familiar with the shorter Surahs, read the translation and explanation beforehand, and then pray reflecting on the message of the Surahs.
This is a good way to develop the habit of concentration, even in regular prayers, where many of us tend to be fidgety and/or easily distracted.
7. Make a personal Dua list.
Ask yourself what you really want from Allah. Make a list of each and everything, no matter how small or how big it is, whether it deals with this world or not. Allah loves to hear from us. Once this list is ready, you can do three things:
• Ask Allah to give you those things
• Think about what actions you have taken to get those things
• Develop a work plan to get those things in future.8. Evaluate yourself.
Ask yourself those questions that need to be asked. Do an evaluation of where you are and where you are going. Let this evaluation lead you to feel happiness for the good you have done and remorse for the bad you have done. (see a short and a long evaluation guide) This latter feeling should make it easier to seek Allah's sincere forgiveness when making the Dua mentioned in tip number one above.
9. Make long, sincere and deep Duas
One of the best times to do this is during the last part of the night.
Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, related that the Prophet said: When the last one-third of the night remains, our Lord, the Glorious One descends towards the heaven of the earth and proclaims: Who is that who supplicates for Me, and I grant his supplication? Who is that who begs Me for anything and I grant it to him? And who is that who seeks My forgiveness, and I forgive him? (Bukhari, Muslim).
That means for instance, waking up one hour before Suhoor time to ask Allah for anything and everything you want that is Halal. This can be done using the Duas of the Sunnah, but also Dua in your own language, with sincerity and conviction.
10. Memorize a different Dua every night
They don't have to be long. They can be just one line. And be sure to know what they mean generally at least, even if you don't know the exact translation in English.
You can put them on index cards (or and keep them with you during the day, glancing at them during work, while driving, waiting in line, etc.) Then practice them at night in prayer.
11. Have Iftar with the family
If you've spent Iftar time on weekdays in your cubicle at work alone with a couple of dates, now is the last few days you'll have this Ramadan to spend with your family. Use it wisely.
12. Take the family to Tarawih
Have your spouse and kids missed Tarawih most of Ramadan because you weren't there to drive them to the Masjid, which is too far away to walk to? If so, do all of yourselves a favor and bring everyone for Tarawih in these last ten nights.
13. Attend the Dua after the completion of Quran recitation
Almost all Masjids where the Imam aims to finish an entire reading of the Quran in Tarawih prayers in Ramadan will be completing their recitation in these last ten nights. They may try to end on one of the odd nights and read the Dua at the end of a reading of the Quran. Attend this particular night's Tarawih prayer with your family. See if you can attend different Masjids' Tarawih prayers the night they finish reading the Quran.
14. Finish reading a book on the Prophet
Read about the Prophet's life, which can increase your love for him and Islam by seeing how much he struggled for Allah's sake. It may inspire you to push yourself even harder during these last ten nights. This community is built on sacrifice.
15. Plan for the next year
Once you've done a self-evaluation, you can plan on where you want to go, at least in the next 12 months. Laylatul Qadr is a great night to be thinking about this (without taking away from your worship), since you'll Insha Allah, be in a more contemplative state. You may choose to dedicate one night of power for evaluation and one night for planning for the next year.
16. To do list for the Night of Power
Make a to do checklist for each Night of Power. This should define how you would like your night, the one better than a thousand months, to be used. Pick things from this list and define the sequence you would like to do things in. This will help you avoid wasting your time in unproductive chats which common in the festive atmosphere of Masjids at the Night of Power.

DAY 3 OF POST-TAARUF MZJ

Salam my dearest princesses! Well, I've been waiting for Kak Shak to help me with the write-up. What to do, all of us were very busy for the past 3 weeks. So many things had happened. Anyway, I still want to finish reporting what we had done on day 3 of your post-taaruf . We started day 3 with the academic talk.

Well if you still remember what I mentioned during the academic talk, I did ask you guys to be be able to adapt and adopt to your new surroundings.

You must remember that studying here is not as same as studying in your secondary school. You must be proactive in whatever you do. Do not wait for instruction, you must be able to think what you need to do before you are asked to. Do listen attentively, to instructions of lecturers, announcements being made as well as good advice from your seniors. InsyaAllah, you will be okay!

We have given you some guidelines on now to survive here. Hopefully, you will grab the chance given to the fullest and ensure your ticket to succeed in your life. The seniors/facilitators are here if you needed some advice, just open your mouth and ask nicely. If you start anything with a simple word "PLEASE", nobody could say no as that simple word have a very strong impact on people.

Anyway, I just want to say that now, after surviving the 3 days of taaruf, gotong royong beutifying your hisbah & Mahallah, singing Mahallah song and sharing your supper together, I am proudly announcing that the newcomers of batch 2010/2011 are officially members of Mahallah Zainab Jahsy. We love you all!!!!

WASALLAM & TAKE CARE.

P/s: Do gv some feedback,I wish this blog to be our medium to talk heart to heart.
