live life as thou you are a traveler

2011-10-29T10:46:00.000-07:00

ever thought why the Prophet said this?

...

Monday 3.30pm - travelled to Johor to visit a relative who just passed away. on the way stopped by Kuantan at 6.00pm to pickup Amin. then Bangi at 10.00pm to drop my wife at her parents and continued all the way to Batu Pahat. reached destination by 2.00am

Tuesday 10.00am - visited the grave of our late Pak Ndak in Seri Gading. then off to Bangi. picked up bibik at the Hospital, went to my in laws', washed and went back to the Hospital to take care of atok. spent the night in the hospital till 1.00pm the next day.

Wednesday 9.00pm - off to Paka. had to work on Thursday. Alhamdulillah, accompanied by Muaz. Managed to shop for presents and celebrate 2 birthdays during the day; Ummi's and Abah Jamal's which falls on the same date 26th Oct. reached home by 4.00am due to the heavy rain and a loooong nap at R&R Temerloh.

Thursday 8.00am - Work. all day. and did some laundry during the night :)

Friday 1.00pm - Friday prayers off course. then took muaz for some ikan pari bakar lunch and showed him the haunted Paka 7 Eleven..doesn't look that scary during the day though. then off to Bangi. reached my in laws' by 8.00pm. slept till 2.00am

Saturday 9.00pm - had asam pedas dinner with ummi and abi at home. then watched the first 10 minutes of Piala Malaysia's final match before fetching my cousin who's been taking care of atok since the afternoon, sent her back to Putrajaya. now as i'm writing this, i'm back on shift at the hospital...

Sunday..i'll asume it's gonna be as hectic as the days before. plus i've got a 5 days auditor course in PD this Monday

....

seems that in life, there isn't quite a term such as "settling down". because there is always things to do, things to rush to.

you get what i mean right?

i'm gonna end it here, getting tired typing with the Playbook actually.

so, are you a traveler?

Aaaa abang. Saya dari Dominos Pizza nak buat promosi sebab kami...
Awak ni darjah berapa?
Ingat ni rumah mak ko yang punya!?
Maaf bang. Tapi ni promosi sebab kami bukak kedai dekat seksyen 9..
Kepala hotak ko aku tanya pasal promosi ko! Tu budak yang tekan loceng rumah aku macam orang gila tu apsal!?
Maaf bang..ni kami nak promosi pizza. Boleh call untuk penghantaran terus ke..
Baguslah! Aku boleh call boss korang bagitau biadapnya korang!

Senyap.

Aku renung tajam. Mereka pun renung tajam.

Mereka belah.

Aa baguslah. Nak tekan lagi tak loceng rumah ni? Percuma je! Takpun main loceng rumah sebelah!

Mereka duduk bawah pokok kat hujung rumah. Berehat.

Aku perhatikan dari grill pintu.

10 minit keadaan kekal seperti itu.

Dialog diatas adalah daripada kejadian sebenar tengah hari tadi di Bangi.

Aku pasti ada cara yang lebih baik untuk memberikan teguran. Sabar itu taqwa. Menahan amarah itu taqwa. Memaafkan itu taqwa.

Berhikmahlah terhadap manusia. Sesungguhnya mereka perlukan bimbingan dan kasih sayang..

Testing

Salam semua. Apa khabar agaknya kita semua di penghujung Syawal?

Posting kali ini nak test Blogger punya iphone app. Hmmm, so far ok kot. No features untuk tukar font or colours bytheway. Too bad i suppose. You probably can't get everything you wish for.

Test gambar satu

AKHIRNYA, AKU MEMBACA..

2011-09-11T06:48:00.000-07:00

Just for the note, this is an iplog entry - iphone blogging :)

Hari ini 11 September 2011. Tarikh keramat buat Amerika dan sekutunya, bahkan seluruh dunia.

Hari ini juga 13 Syawal 1432H.

Ada apa dengan 13 Syawal? Hari ini akhirnya aku kembali membaca. Iya, kembali membaca Al-Quran selepas tabiat baik itu terhenti secara automatic menjelangnya Raya. Astaghfirullah, dekat 2 minggu kau tak mengaji Qayyim!?

Ma'thurat aku baca apa..kira mengajilah tu..

Tak cukup tu broQ. Orang marhain pun dapat baca Yaasin seminggu sekali, kau tinggal langsung 'tak dok skepeng bace mende' hampir 2 minggu.

...

Itulah jadinya bila kita memperhambakan diri kepada Ramadhan. Jadinya kita hamba yang soleh hanya ketika bulan itu sahaja. Solatnya cukup 5 waktu berjamaah di musolla dan masjid2. Siap awal waktu lagi. Mulutnya tak henti dengan zikrullah setiap masa. Setiap masa terluang dihabiskan dengan tilawah Al-Quran. Jalannya tunduk untuk menjaga mata, nak kurangkan melihat aurat2 wanita yang selamba sengaja dibiarkan untuk tontonan umum (info: berdasarkan pengamatan aku semasa di UNITEN, biasanya para hawa lebih ramai bertudung ketika Ramadhan..walaupun bajunya masih sarung buah nangka). Qiamnya awal, kalautidakpun 2 rakaat sebelum sahur atau masuknya subuh. Itu manusia (baca: Mohd Qayyim) ketika Ramadhan.

Dan biasanya selang beberapa hari nak menjengahnya syawal, amal solehpun mula berkurang kuantitinya dan menurun lagi kualitinya. Akhirnya menjelang syawal...kosong.

Istiqamah itu susah.

Hanya mampu dilaksanakan oleh mereka yang benar2 memperhambakan dirinya kepada Allah. Bukan Ramadhan.

Aku sering ingatkan manusia (baca: rakan usrah) untuk sentiasa melazimi Al-Quran. Jangan ada sehari yang kita lalui tidak membacanya. Tapi bila Syawal, aku memang gagal. Gagal melaksanakan apa yang aku serukan pada orang lain.

Aku ada 3 mushaf. Satu yang ada terjemahannya, aku jadikan untuk tilawah dan tadabbur. Boleh lihat mushaf ini bersama aku dalam program, usrah dan ketika aku bermusafir. Yang kedua aku jadikan untuk hafadzan. Mushaf ini kecik, boleh muat dalam kocek baju, menjadikannya senang untuk dibawa dan dibaca ketika masa terluang dimana2 untuk menghafal. Mushaf ketiga..my iphoney. Yang ini lagilah aku bawa ke mana2.

Oleh kerana adanya mushaf Al-Quran dalam iphone, aku sudah jarang membuka mushaf nombor satu kecuali di program2 dan usrah. Malahan, Ramadhan yang lepas aku khatamkan tadarus (ada beza tak tilawah & tadarus? Tolong clarifykan wahai ilmuan) dengan perisian tersebut.

Mushaf ketiga sudah lama aku tak buka. Sebab aku ni manusia yang sangatlah malas susah menghafal. Siapa ada tips mudah menghafal dan mengingat? Antara yang pernah aku dengar:
1. Baca surah tu sampai 60 kali (atau sebanyak mungkin) - pernah amalkan. Dan berkesan. Tips naqib aku, Hj Nawawi.
2. Hafal bermula daripada ayat terakhir - pernah cuba. Tapi akhirnya aku keliru. Mungkin IQ tak cukup tinggi.
3. Lazimkan dalam bacaan solat dan qiam - pernah amalkan. Nak kena hidupkan semula amalan ni.
4. Menghafal sebelum tido dan sejurus selepas bangun/waktu pagi - pernah amalkan. Tapi la ni, tersangatkan kesuntukan masa. Lebih2 lagi bila dah develope (baca: suka) tabiat tido selepas subuh.
5. Amalkan kurma, kismis dan madu - selera kurma cuma waktu Ramadhan sahaja. Nak kena pau abi (Dr. Hafidzi) punya madu tualang lagi ni nampak gayanya.

In a nut shell (seperti report fluid lab En Farhan Daud), kita kena istiqamah. Mana yang dah tertinggal amalan membaca Quran, jom pergiatkan kembali.

Tamat.

...

Dah habis baca entry iplog aku? Jangan lupa kongsikan tips2 menghafal korang ya..

P/s: perasan tak kelainan dalam entry kali ini? Inspirasi dari blog keyrana cool, anak mat nor & perempuan jomblo (mohon search di google. Aku tak ingat adress penuh mereka). Ini bukan meniru gaya orang, tapi lebih kepada meng'exsperimenting' genre blogging baru.

Procrastination Will Cost Dearly

2011-06-16T21:51:00.000-07:00

True enough. i've been searching on the net for used cars and have finally set my eyes on this particular 'car'. that was 5 weeks back.

then this morning, i called the dealer only to find out that the 'car' was already sold. yesterday! what? you gotta be kidding me.

my plan for today was actually call the dealer by 8.00am, set a meet up, head to the yard. and if the deal is good, then we'd be shaking hands and i'd be driving home in a 'new' car. haha..that easy!? but unfortunately, i'd to spend the whole morning online searching for 2nd hand car dealers again. and till now, i've yet to find a good offer. probably gamble my way out to Sg Sikamat and scout out the 5 dealers there..hopefully there's more dealers than whats shown on googlemaps. hopefully.

so what have we learned today?

procrastination has a price. and it's not cheap.

it may not be in terms of money. in my case, it's time. and time is life.

i may not get a better offer than the one i've lost, but there's still a chance i'de get an offer slightly similar. but for the time i had to spend re-searching. it's priceless. i can never get the time back.

time. it's the furthest thing in life. you'll never for ever get it back.

thus spend it wisely. by that i mean, don't procrastinate. it will cost your life!

so whats now?

workout. jumaah prayer. off to onestopprinting. then off we go scouting.

btw, would manual 4WDs have better km/liter than autos as in the same thing for sedan cars? but now a days, people opt to buy autos than manuals. so whats the verdict? the tribe hasn't spoken yet..not till i find a good offer :)

Everything Doesn't Seems Right

2011-06-13T01:27:00.000-07:00

ever had that feeling?

ever felt so depressed that you start to wish everything could of been better IF..

well, honestly, i'm in that situation. where everything seems very hard to accept. the situation, the surroundings, the people around me..has life come to a point that everything has to be accepted as it is?

has life became that dull or perhaps i've made life that dull to live in

life is a matter of choices and our perception towards it. need facts?

choices:

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا

91:8 "Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it"

وَأَنَّ هَـذَا صِرَاطِي مُسْتَقِيماً فَاتَّبِعُوهُ وَلاَ تَتَّبِعُواْ السُّبُلَ فَتَفَرَّقَ بِكُمْ عَن سَبِيلِهِ ذَلِكُمْ وَصَّاكُم بِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ

6:153 "And (know) that this is My path, the right one therefore follow it, and follow not (other) ways, for they will lead you away from His way; this He has enjoined you with that you may guard (against evil)."

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اتَّقُواْ اللّهَ وَابْتَغُواْ إِلَيهِ الْوَسِيلَةَ وَجَاهِدُواْ فِي سَبِيلِهِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

5:35 "O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and seek means of nearness to Him and strive hard in His way that you may be successful."

supposedly what ever path we take, there is always a better side of things. we choose either to accept and be happy or endure and feel the pain.

you can't always change things to the ways you want them to be, but you could always change yourself to accept how/what things are. and bring the best out of it.

life in Terengganu is tough. but i suppose other people are living a harder life than i am.

well, here goes: SAYANG DOK SIKEK, HEBAK DOK DDEGIH!

i'll try to smile every day here from now onwards..

After So Long

2010-04-16T09:09:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum,

yes, i know, it's been quite some time since i last posted any writings on this blog. reason is that i've been so occupied with my final year studies. the final project; which is a pure headache plus other subject projects that ends up with pending the final project. with the cycle, i ended up getting everything at halt. superb.

i've never faced a more tense phase such as the past 3 months. gastric, migraine, food poison and lost of appetite. even till now, i'm still trying to get my old self back in shape; physically, mentally and spiritually. parkour training has stopped since a month back, my hafadzan hasn't progressed, book reading is slowly progressing, alhamdulillah, and i'm still missing in action within the pkmy local scene, especially with some new projects at hand. the KBS project has already been taken care of by the others, alhamdulillah, even though deeply i think most of them are mad at me due to me cutting of myself from the 'outside' world.

the final project has finally ended. all the depression and frustration has finally come to a stop. one thing i've learn throughout the process is; procrastination kills! everything at hand should be treated equally important depending on where we stand. juggling between da'wah and studies, each matter is as important as the other. further on, everything that we do shouldn't be taken lightly, like for exmple; i've sustained my existence in UNITEN just so that i could continue being apart of the campus da'wah activities, while neglecting any extra achievements or excelling in any activities..studies is just for the sake of so that i don't get expelled from UNITEN. this misconception has taken it's toll. but everything for sure has it's hikmah. if i wasn't who i was back then, i wouldn't be me as i am today.

ever since my absent from this blog, it's not that i've not been writing. all the new sets of write ups are posted in my second blog (www.nafsuntudhi.blogspot.com - JIWA yang menerangi). so from now on, JIWA yang menerangi will be my academic writing archive. while this blog (www.qayyimhafidzi.blogspot.com - Writing 'Iman'tionally) will continue it's purpose of updating my personal life experience to the world. so do visit both blogs..if it even strike any interest in you~

Risalah Mursyid Ikhwan Muslimin: Palestin Akan Tetap Kekal Selama Dunia Masih Ada

2010-03-30T07:09:00.000-07:00

Risalah dari Dr. Muhammad Badie’, Mursyid Am Ikhwanul Muslimin

Segala puji bagi Allah, selawat dan salam ditujukan kepada Rasulullah saw dan para pengikutnya… Al-Quds merupakan taman yang harum semerbak, lokasi yang senantiasa melemparkan senyuman, malamnya dipenuhi dengan selawat dan munajat, dan siangnya dipenuhi perjuangan dan aktiviti-aktiviti dakwah.

Sejarah Al-Quds adalah sejarah risalah dan perjuangan para rasul, yang diterima dari satu nabi kepada nabi yang lain dan satu dari satu risalah ke risalah yang lain hingga yang terakhir risalah nabi Muhammad saw yang diterima daripada seluruh nabi pada puncak pertemuan di langit yang penuh keberkatan. Di hadapan pintu-pintunya gugur syahid para pejuang dan pahlawan dan di sekelilingnya melahirkan para pejuang yang beriman. Di hadapan pintunya sentiasa berlaku pertarungan sengit yang berpanjangan antara kebenaran dan kebatilan yang kadang-kadang kebatilan menang pada awal pertarungan namun pada akhirnya kebenaran akan memenangi dalam pertarungan ini.

Ketetapan (Tsawabit) yang tidak boleh diubah;

Palestin dan Al-Quds merupakan sebahagian dari aqidah umat Islam, kerana itu mengambil mudah isu keduanya bererti mengambil mudah ke atas kitab Allah, peradaban ummah dan keimanannya.

Masalah Palestin merupakan amanah yang tergantung di tengkuk setiap muslim, dan menolongnya adalah wajib dan mempertahankannnya adalah suatu kefarduan, sementara mengambil mudah terhadapnya adalah suatu jenayah dan kesalahan.
Bekerjasama dengan Zionis dan orang-orang yang bersekutu dengan mereka serta berurusan dengan mereka, bererti memerangi Allah, agama dan umat Islam, berdasarkan firman Allah:فَلْيَحْذَرْ الَّذِينَ يُخَالِفُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ أَوْ يُصِيبَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ “ Maka hendaklah orang-orang yang menyalahi perintah-Nya takut akan ditimpa cobaan atau ditimpa azab yang pedih”. (An-Nuur:63)
Jihad untuk mengembalikan bumi Palestin dan Al-Aqsa adalah wajib fardu ain ke atas setiap muslim, semua dituntut untuk mempertahankan, menjaga tempat-tempat suci dan melindunginya, kerana al-Aqsa merupakan qiblat pertama, Tanah Haram ketiga dalam Islam dan tempat persinggahan dalam peristiwa Isra’ dan Mi’raj nabi saw.

Ucapan terima kasih yang ditolak dan pengabaian hak Palestin yang menjijikan

Sesungguhnya di antara rencana jahat dunia ke atas seseorang ialah seperti yang berlaku pada tarikh 3 Mac yang lalu. Iaitu seperti yang dilakukan Netanyahu, Perdana Menteri Zionis dengan menyatakan rasa terima kasih kepada para pemimpin Arab di atas sikap mereka yang baik?! Begitu juga Hillary Clinton yang menyatakan rasa terima kasihnya terhadap pendirian Arab yang ‘berani’. Beliau gembira setelah melihat sikap berdiam, membiarkan dan keengganan mereka daripada mengecam atau menentang keputusan penyatuan masjid Ibrahimi di Khalil dan masjid Bilal di Beitlehem kepada Israel yang jelas melakukan banyak perlanggaran terhadap hak-hak asasi dan undang-undang antarabangsa.

Inilah yang terjadi di Tebing Barat di bawah pengawasan dan pendengaran pihak berkuasa Palestin di Ramallah, yang diiringi usaha yang keras sebagai persiapan untuk membangun Haekal Sulaiman di atas tapak Masjid Al-Aqsa seperti yang dilakukan pada tarikh 15 Mac yang lalu sebagai isyarat permulaan “Agenda pembangunan Haekal”.

Al-Aqsa; Allah yang melindunginya dan tangan-tangan ini yang menjadi taruhannya

Zionis selalu bercita-cita mewujudkan identitinya setiap kali mendapat kesempatan untuk merealisasi idea pembinaan Haekal di atas keruntuhan Masjid Al-Aqsa.

Di sebalik penyembelihan yang berlaku di sekitar Masjid Al-Aqsa (8/10/1990 ) muncul arkeologi Zionis “Joseph Sierg” di TV Perancis dengan mengatakan: “Israel dalam waktu terdekat akan segera memulakan pembinaaan Haekal ketiga di atas runtuhan Masjid Al-Aqsa yang mampu dilakukan dengan menggunakan teknologi moden”. Selang beberapa hari pada bulan November Yitzak Shamir Perdana Menteri Israel ketika itu, memberi reaksi ke atas tindakan penyembelihan itu beliau mengumumkan: “Inilah masanya untuk memanjangkan sempadan Israel dari laut Merah hingga ke sungai Furat “.

Pada September 1991 akhbar Hahdashout melaporkan bahawa gerakan pemimpin Gunung Haekal telah melakukan peletakkan batu asas – yang beratnya 6 tan yang dibungkus dengan bendera Israel – ke tempatnya yang terletak di atas tanah suci.

Tidak hairan … Siapakah yang paling menepati janji, ancaman dan ketentuannya dari Allah SWT kerana Allah SWT telah berfirman: إِنَّ اللهَ يُدَافِعُ عَنْ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِنَّ اللهَ لا يُحِبُّ كُلَّ خَوَّانٍ كَفُورٍ . أُذِنَ لِلَّذِينَ يُقَاتَلُونَ بِأَنَّهُمْ ظُلِمُوا وَإِنَّ اللهَ عَلَى نَصْرِهِمْ لَقَدِيرٌ. الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَقُولُوا رَبُّنَا اللهُ وَلَوْلا دَفْعُ اللهِ النَّاسَ بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لَهُدِّمَتْ صَوَامِعُ وَبِيَعٌ وَصَلَوَاتٌ وَمَسَاجِدُ يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا اسْمُ اللهِ كَثِيرًا وَلَيَنصُرَنَّ اللهُ مَنْ يَنصُرُهُ إِنَّ اللهَ لَقَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ “Sesungguhnya Allah membela orang-orang yang telah beriman.Sesungguhnya Allah tidak menyukai tiap-tiap orang yang berkhianat lagi mengingkari nikmat. Telah diizinkan (berperang) bagi orang-orang yang diperangi, kerana sesungguhnya mereka telah dianiaya. dan sesungguhnya Allah, benar-benar Maha Kuasa menolong mereka itu, (yaitu) orang-orang yang telah diusir dari kampung halaman mereka tanpa alasan yang benar, kecuali kerana mereka berkata: “Tuhan Kami hanyalah Allah”. dan Sekiranya Allah tiada menolak (keganasan) sebahagian manusia dengan sebahagian yang lain, tentulah telah dirobohkan biara-biara Nasrani, gereja-gereja, rumah-rumah ibadat orang Yahudi dan masjid- masjid, yang di dalamnya banyak disebut nama Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah pasti menolong orang yang menolong (agama)-Nya. Sesungguhnya Allah benar-benar Maha kuat lagi Maha perkasa”. (Al-Hajj:38-40)

Ke manakah Shamir pergi? Pergi ke neraka Jahim, memperolehi berbagai laknat, sementara para pemimpin Haekal senyap sunyi dan tidak mampu mencapai misi mereka.

Kita telah menyaksikan dengan mata kepala kita pada akhir-akhir ini bagaimana lelaki dan wanita serta para pemuda dari anak-anak Palestin dengan gagah berani menghadang tentera bersenjata dengan dada yang terbuka sebagai benteng dan tangan-tangan mereka yang kosong dari senjata, kecuali senjata iman, aqidah dan gigih dalam berjihad dan mengimpikan syahid. Benarlah firman Allah yang menggambarkan tentang mereka: الَّذِينَ قَالَ لَهُمْ النَّاسُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ جَمَعُوا لَكُمْ فَاخْشَوْهُمْ فَزَادَهُمْ إِيمَانًا وَقَالُوا حَسْبُنَا اللهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ . فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنْ اللهِ وَفَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ وَاتَّبَعُوا رِضْوَانَ اللهِ وَاللهُ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ “(yaitu) orang-orang (yang mentaati Allah dan Rasul) yang kepada mereka ada orang-orang yang mengatakan: “Sesungguhnya manusia telah mengumpulkan pasukan untuk menyerang kamu, karena itu takutlah kepada mereka”, Maka Perkataan itu menambah keimanan mereka dan mereka menjawab: “Cukuplah Allah menjadi penolong Kami dan Allah adalah Sebaik-baik Pelindung”. Maka mereka kembali dengan nikmat dan karunia (yang besar) dari Allah, mereka tidak mendapat bencana apa-apa, mereka mengikuti keridhaan Allah. dan Allah mempunyai karunia yang besar”. (Ali Imran:173-174)

Dan benarlah sabda Rasulullah saw ketika menyampaikan perwatakan umatnya, sabda baginda: لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ يُقَاتِلُوْنَ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ وَهُمْ كَذَلِكَ “Umatku akan tetap tegak dalam memegang kebenaran, berjuang di pintu-pintu baitul Maqdis, tidak takut dan gentar terhadap celaan orang-orang yang mencela mereka, sehingga datang keputusan Allah sementara jiwa mereka tetap demikian”. (Muslim)

Ketika Ariel Sharon terpilih sebagai Perdana Menteri beliau mengumumkan pendiriannya yang bertekad menghancurkan Intifadah dalam tempoh seratus hari. Namun Intifadhah masih tetap ada dan kekal bahkan bertambah kuat hari demi hari, malahan memberikan tentangan sengit kepada pasukan keselamatan Israel hingga mengembalikan keyakinan kepada keupayaan umat untuk mendapatkan haknya dan melawan musuh Yahudi perampas. Dan menegaskan kepada para pemimpin yang angkuh bahawa cita-cita besar mereka mustahil dapat dicapai. Ke manakah perginya Sharon? Sampai sekarang dirinya masih terlantar dalam keadaan koma antara hidup dan mati. Beliau tidak mengetahui keputusan Allah untuk merealisasikan janji dan ancaman Allah terhadapnya.

Arab menyediakan perlindungan untuk Zionis

Pada hakikatnya yang dituntut pada Arab adalah menghentikan berbagai perancangan menyahudikan Al-Quds, penghancuran Masjid Al-Aqsa, perampasan masjid Haram Al-Ibrahim dan masjid Bilal, perampasan dan penghancuran Baitul Maqdis dan melupakan keganasan ke atas Gaza dan berbagai kehancuran dan perobohan yang menimpa mereka sedangkan mereka masih tetap sabar dan teguh berada dalam keadaan dikepung dan kelaparan.

Ternyata berlaku peristiwa yang menghinakan di dalam Liga Arab kerana menyediakan perlindungan dan laluan dengan memberikan kuasa sebagai presiden kepada Mahmud Abbas untuk berunding dengan regim Zionis selama empat bulan! - Seseorang akan kehairanan dan bertanya-tanya; sejak bilakah Arab menimbang-nimbang keputusannya dalam jangka waktu berbulan-bulan?! - Sejak bilakah Mahmud Abbas memerlukan izin dari Arab sedangkan dialah yang memberikan izin kepada Israel secara sendirinya ketika Persidangan Oslo untuk memutuskan keluar daripada delegasi Madrid dari Arab Bersatu?!

- Kenapakah ada perlindungan Arab ini?!
- Mengapa saat menjelang sidang puncak Tripoli?!
- Mengapa di tengah kebencian Eropah akibat dari pemalsuan Israel ke atas pasport enam negara?!
- Mengapa setelah sidang puncak Assad – Ahmadinejad?!!
- Mengapa dan dalam masa yang sama meruntuhkan rumah-rumah penduduk Al-Quds?!!
- Mengapa dan dalam masa yang sama melakukan pengawasan ke atas pembinaan penempatan baru Israel di Tebing Barat?!

Demikianlah kami melihat bahawa ‘jubah’ Liga Arab longgar dan luas, melindungi Netanyahu dari darah Mabhouh, memberikan kehangatan dari udara dingin yang melanda negara-negara Eropah di mana warga Israel menggunakan pasport dengan gambar secara haram dalam misi melakukan pembunuhan ke atas anggota Pergerakan HAMAS di Dubai dan menyembunyikan inisiatif Arab terhadap kerja terkutuk itu. Orang yang menikam dada Mabhouh adalah warga Israel dan Amerika sehingga sukar memberkas pembunuhnya pada sidang Tripoli yang akan datang .… Namun ingatlah Israel sering mengalami berbagai isyarat penghalang dari satu warga Arab…

Dalam menghadapi tentangan

Kita adalah umat yang agung, keasliannya terserlah semasa berada dalam penderitaan dan kesukaran. Justeru umat mestilah melakukan strategi jangka panjang yang bersumber dari pegangan umat dan identitinya. صِبْغَةَ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ اللَّهِ صِبْغَةً وَنَحْنُ لَهُ عَابِدُونَ“Shibghah Allah dan siapakah yang lebih baik shibghahnya dari pada Allah? dan hanya kepada-Nya-lah Kami menyembah”. (Al-Baqarah:138)
Bahawa kesatuan umat, kesatuan amal Islami, kesatuan kepemimpinan dan kesatuan manhaj merupakan dharurah syar’iyyah (keperluan syarak) dan penting dalam menghadapi tentangan.
Kita harus mengamalkan perintah Allah sebagaimana firman-Nya:وَأَعِدُّواْ لَهُم مَّا اسْتَطَعْتُم مِّن قُوَّةٍ وَمِن رِّبَاطِ الْخَيْلِ تُرْهِبُونَ بِهِ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ وَعَدُوَّكُمْ وَآخَرِينَ مِن دُونِهِمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَهُمُ اللَّهُ يَعْلَمُهُمْ وَمَا تُنفِقُواْ مِن شَيْءٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يُوَفَّ إِلَيْكُمْ وَأَنتُمْ لاَ تُظْلَمُونَ “Dan siapkanlah untuk menghadapi mereka kekuatan apa saja yang kamu sanggupi dan dari kuda-kuda yang ditambah untuk berperang (yang dengan persiapan itu) kamu menggentarkan musuh Allah dan musuhmu dan orang orang selain mereka yang kamu tidak mengetahuinya; sedang Allah mengetahuinya. apa saja yang kamu nafkahkan pada jalan Allah niscaya akan dibalasi dengan cukup kepadamu dan kamu tidak akan dianiaya (dirugikan)”. (Al-Anfal:60)
Sekalipun kecanggihan yang dimiliki Israel pada hakikatnya akan menemui kehancuran

Sekalipun Israel memiliki gudang senjata nuklear, meskipun Amerika mendukung sepenuhnya, meskipun Arab melakukan pakatan bersamanya, tidak akan sama sekali memberikan keamanan dan ketenangan ke atas wilayah kita yang terjajah kepada mereka, itu hanya untuk sementara waktu namun mereka akan hancur dalam waktu terdekat, bukti-buktinya sangat banyak: -

Allah telah menyampaikan berita kepada kita dalam surat Al-Isra’ bahawa zionis akan berada dalam kesombongan sebanyak dua kali .. dan pada saat ini kita sedang menghadapi kesombongan yang kedua kalinya dan untuk kali yang terakhir ini Allah akan menghancurkan mereka dan memberi mereka dengan azab yang buruk; sebagai ganjaran di atas kesombongan mereka di hadapan Allah, dan penghinaan mereka terhadap tanah haram dan tempat-tempat suci. Allah berfirman: فَإِذَا جَاءَ وَعْدُ الآخِرَةِ لِيَسُوؤُواْ وُجُوهَكُمْ وَلِيَدْخُلُواْ الْمَسْجِدَ كَمَا دَخَلُوهُ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ وَلِيُتَبِّرُواْ مَا عَلَوْا تَتْبِيرًا “Dan apabila datang saat hukuman bagi (kejahatan) yang kedua, (kami datangkan orang-orang lain) untuk menyuramkan muka-muka kamu dan mereka masuk ke dalam mesjid, sebagaimana musuh-musuhmu memasukinya pada kali pertama dan untuk membinasakan sehabis-habisnya apa saja yang mereka kuasai”. (Al-Isra:7)

Dan sesuai dengan sunnatullah dalam silih berganti zaman, akan terjadi kehancuran suatu bangsa disebabkan oleh kezaliman, kekejaman dan penindasan. Allah berfirman: فَقُطِعَ دَابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُواْ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ“Maka orang-orang yang zalim itu dimusnahkan sampai ke akar-akarnya. segala puji bagi Allah, Tuhan semesta alam”. (Al-An’am:45) وَتِلْكَ الْقُرَى أَهْلَكْنَاهُمْ لَمَّا ظَلَمُوا وَجَعَلْنَا لِمَهْلِكِهِم مَّوْعِدًا “Dan (penduduk) negeri telah Kami binasakan ketika mereka berbuat zalim, dan telah Kami tetapkan waktu tertentu bagi kebinasaan mereka”. (Al-Kahfi:59)

- Bahawa Israel sentiasa menanggung kekalahan dan pengunduran tentera setelah mengalaminya secara berturut-turut, dimulai dari kekalahan dari perang 1973, pada Intifadah pertama tahun 1987, pengunduran tentera dari Lebanon Selatan, Intifadah kedua tahun 2000, dan yang terakhir kalah dalam peperangan melawan Hizbullah di Lebanon serta pengunduran yang memalukan dari Semenanjung Gaza tanpa mencapai matlamat yang diinginkan.

- Terjadinya perubahan demografi yang berpihak pada penduduk Arab atau apa yang mereka sebut “bom biologi”, yang memberikan kelebihan kadar kelahiran warga Palestina dan Zionis dengan nisbah 7: 1.

Sementara itu regim Zionis menyeru untuk mengisytiharkan nama “negara Yahudi” sebagai pelaksanaan awal pengusiran warga Arab dan menutup pintu hak pengembalian wilayah seperti tahun 1948.

- Rasulullah saw telah menyampaikan berita gembira bahawa –yang senantiasa memberikan harapan kepada kita- akan terjadinya pertempuran yang menentukan antara Yahudi dan umat Islam yang mana kemenangan akan dikecapi oleh Islam dan umat Islam. Nabi saw bersabda:لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُقَاتِلَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ الْيَهُودَ فَيَقْتُلُهُمْ الْمُسْلِمُونَ حَتَّى يَخْتَبِئَ الْيَهُودِيُّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْحَجَرِ وَالشَّجَرِ فَيَقُولُ الْحَجَرُ أَوْ الشَّجَرُ يَا مُسْلِمُ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ هَذَا يَهُودِيٌّ خَلْفِي فَتَعَالَ فَاقْتُلْهُ إِلَّا الْغَرْقَدَ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ شَجَرِ الْيَهُودِ “Tidak akan terjadi kiamat sampai umat Islam berperang dengan Yahudi, kemudian umat akan memerangi mereka, sehingga orang-orang Yahudi bersembunyi dibalik batu dan pohon, lalu batu atau pohon tersebut berkata: “Wahai muslim! Wahai hamba Allah! Ini ada orang Yahudi dibelakang saya, kemarilah dan bunuhlah, kecuali pohon gorqod; Karena ia merupakan pohon Yahudi”. (Muslim)

Dari sini kami sampaikan… bahawa Israel pasti akan hancur sedangkan Masjid Al-Aqsa pasti akan tetap berdiri dan tegak selama dunia masih ada. Allah berfirman: فَأَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَاء وَأَمَّا مَا يَنفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الأَرْضِ كَذَلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الأَمْثَالَ “ Adapun buih itu, akan hilang sebagai sesuatu yang tak ada harganya; Adapun yang memberi manfaat kepada manusia, Maka ia tetap di bumi. Demikianlah Allah membuat perumpamaan-perumpamaan”. (Ar-Ra’d:17)

Kenyataan PACE: Pelaburan Syarikat Coca-cola di Malaysia

2010-03-17T20:02:00.000-07:00

Assalamualaikum wrt bth

Dengan Nama Allah Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Pengasihani

Kenyataan dan Pendirian Rasmi PACE: Pelaburan berjumlah RM1 bilion oleh Syarikat Coca Cola di Malaysia.

PACE merakamkan rasa dukacita terhadap pelaburan berjumlah RM1 bilion oleh Syarikat Coca-Cola di Malaysia. Syarikat Coca-cola akan mendirikan kilangnya di atas tanah yang dibeli daripada TH (Tabung Haji) Properties di Nilai, Negeri Sembilan dan upacara pecahtanahnya telah disempurnakan oleh YAB Perdana Menteri, Dato’ Seri Mohd Najib Bin Tun Hj Abdul Razak pada 15 Mac 2010.

Lebih meresahkan lagi perkembangan ini berlaku di saat-saat Masjid al-Aqsa dikepung dan pihak Zionis Israel terus mengancam keselamatan Masjid al-Aqsa dengan mengumumkan perasmian kuil Hover di persekitaran kejiranan Masjid. Tindakan regim Zionis ini jelas merupakan provokasi terancang sedang di masa yang sama rakyat Palestin di bawah umur 50 tahun dihalang dari memasuki masjid al-Aqsa yang berada beberapa ratus meter sahaja dari kuil tersebut.

Mungkin orang ramai akan bertanya apa hubungkait di antara pembukaan kilang Coca-cola di Malaysia dengan ketegangan yang berlaku di Baitul Maqdis timur dan di Masjid al-Aqsa. Dua perkembangan ini saling berkaitan kerana Syarikat Coca-cola telah dikenal pasti sebagai penyokong kuat kepada ekonomi Israel dan kewujudan entiti haram Yahudi Zionis yang merampas negara Palestin dan mengusir rakyatnya keluar. Sebagai sebuah negara yang merdeka dan berdaulat, Malaysia berhak untuk menentukan dasar dan pendiriannya tanpa di pengaruhi oleh mana-mana pihak yang berkepentingan. Namun Malaysia telah mempertahankan dasar luar yang konsisten terhadap penubuhan negara haram Israel sejak mencapai kemerdekaan iaitu tidak akan mengiktiraf entiti haram tersebut, meskipun Israel adalah negara anggota penuh PBB. Berdasarkan kepada hakikat ini, tindakan membenarkan Syarikat Coca-cola melabur dan membina kilang pembotolan produk minumannya di sini adalah sesuatu yang bercanggah dengan prinsip yang dipertahankan sekian lama. Oleh kerana Syarikat Coca-cola menyokong ekonomi Israel secara terbuka maka mereka bersekongkol dengan regim Zionis yang tidak diiktiraf oleh Kerajaan Malaysia. Membenarkan kilang syarikat Coca-cola beroperasi di bumi Malaysia boleh memberi implikasi merestui regim Zionis yang bertindak sebagai negara penyangak yang tidak pernah akur kepada undang-undang antarabangsa dan menghormati hak asasi rakyat Palestin.

Sokongan Coca-cola kepada Israel bukanlah berdasarkan dakwaan semata-mata bahkan terdapat dokumentasi lengkap mengenai penglibatan Syarikat Coca-cola di dalam membangunkan ekonomi Israel sejak tahun 1966. Pada tahun 1997, misi ekonomi Kerajaan Israel telah memberi penghargaan kepada Syarikat Coca-cola dalam majlis Penganugerahan Perdagangan Israel atas sokongan berterusan syarikat itu terhadap Israel selama 30 tahun dengan mengabaikan seruan boikot Israel oleh Liga Arab. Pada tahun 2002 Syarikat Coca-cola membuka kilang di atas tanah rakyat Palestin yang dirampas di Kirvat (Qiryat) Gat dalam negara Palestin yang dijajah. Berita ini dilaporkan di dalam akhbar rasmi Israel Haaretz pada 19 Julai 2002. Seperti yang dilaporkan oleh akhbar Ha’aretz pada 18 Oktober 2005, Coca-cola meningkatkan pelaburannya di Israel dengan menguasai 51% saham dalam Tavor Winery, sebuah syarikat pembuat arak di Israel. Ini hanyalah sebahagian dari rekod cemerlang Coca-cola di dalam menyumbang kepada kemakmuran ekonomi Zionis Israel.

Fakta-fakta ini adalah hakikat yang tidak mungkin disanggah tentang betapa eratnya hubungan yang terjalin di antara Syarikat Coca-cola dan entiti haram Israel.

PACE dengan ini mengambil pendirian berikut:

1. PACE memohon agar Kerajaan Malaysia mengkaji semula keputusan untuk membenarkan Syarikat Coca-cola melabur dan membuka kilang operasinya di Malaysia.

2. PACE juga memohon agar TH (Tabung Haji) properties tidak melabur atau terbabit dengan transaksi perniagaan yang meragukan kerana Tabung Haji terlibat secara langsung di dalam menjana pendapatan untuk urusan pengendalian jemaah Haji rakyat Malaysia. PACE mengajak semua pihak supaya prihatin dengan perkara ini kerana secara simboliknya ziarah, umrah dan ibadah haji ke tanah suci Makkatul Mukarramah tidak sewajarnya membawa kepada keruntuhan satu lagi tanah suci, masjid al-Aqsa al-Haram as-Syarif di Baitul Maqdis.

3. PACE menyeru seluruh rakyat Malaysia tanpa mengira keturunan, bangsa dan agama supaya menyahut seruan boikot barangan Israel yang kini sedang berkumandang di seantero dunia. PACE menyokong kempen BDS (Boikot, Divestment and Sanctions – Boikot, pengalihan pelaburan dan sekatan) ke atas Israel yang diterajui oleh VPM (Viva Palestina Malaysia – sebuah koalisi NGO yang menganjurkan kempen boikot ke atas empat produk utama yang menyokong Israel iaitu Coca-cola, McDonald, L’oreal dan Nestle). PACE menyeru seluruh rakyat Malaysia supaya mengutamakan produk tempatan dan hanya membeli produk luar khususnya produk Amerika Syarikat apabila perlu sahaja dan sebagai pilihan yang terakhir.

4. PACE akan terus menyokong Kerajaan Malaysia yang secara konsisten mempertahankan dasar tidak mengiktiraf Israel dan sentiasa peka dengan penderitaan rakyat Palestin dengan membangkitkan hak mereka di pelbagai forum antarabangsa terutama di Persidangan Agung PBB dan OIC.

5. PACE berdoa dan mengharapkan negara Malaysia akan terus dilimpahi dengan rezeki yang melimpah ruah dan penuh keberkatan dari Allah SWT.

Kempen Maya menuntut pembebasan Dr. Mahmoud Izzat dan Saudara-saudaranya

2010-02-09T16:20:00.000-08:00

Isnin, 8 Februari 2010

Berikutan dengan penahanan pemimpin dan ahli IM, beberapa orang aktivis internet telah mewujudkan satu kumpulan baru bahasa Arab di Facebook bagi menunjukkan solidariti dengan yang ditahan dan menuntut pembebasan mereka.

Kumpulan “Mesir menentang penahanan Dr. Mahmoud Ezzat, Essam el-Erian dan saudara-saudara mereka” menuntut pembebasan segera Dr. Mahmoud Ezzat, Dr Essam el-Erian dan Dr. `Abdur-Rahman Al-Barr yang ditahan dalam satu operasi keselamatan subuh tadi.

Kumpulan ini telah memuat-naik foto anggota-anggota Maktab Irsyad dan motto “Allahu Akbar, Hidup Mesir!”.

Menurut mereka, penangkapan ini dianggap satu skandal bagi Mesir yang kini tidak lagi menghormati hak asasi manusia, perlembagaan dan undang-undang.

Bilangan yang menyertai kumpulan ini hampir mencecah 2000 dalam masa satu jam ia dilancarkan, kebanyakannya dengan komentar “Inna Lillah wa inna ilaihi Rajiun”.
(Pembaca digalakkan menjadi ahli kumpulan ini, sekurang-kurangnya bagi menunjukkan solidariti dan menunjukkan bilangan ramai yang menentang kezaliman ini - Admin)

Kenyataan Media KARISMA berkenaan Isu BTN

2009-12-02T02:55:00.000-08:00

KARISMA Setuju Usaha Meneliti Semula Sukatan Kursus BTN

Kelab Rakan Siswa Islah Malaysia (KARISMA) bersetuju dengan keputusan jemaah menteri untuk meniliti semula sukatan kursus Biro Tata Negara (BTN) dan memastikan program ini menyemai semangat patriotisme dan nilai positif yang sebenar di kalangan semua lapisan masyarakat Malaysia seperti yang telah digariskan dalam objektif kursus tersebut.

Penelitian tersebut harus melibatkan pendapat masyarakat madani melalui wakil sedia ada seperti aktivis masyarakat, badan bukan kerajaan, ahli akademik dan mahasiswa yang pernah menghadiri kursus ini. Pandangan dari semua pihak perlu diambil kira sebelum penelitian menyeluruh dilaksanakan agar usaha mengemas kini sukatan tersebut benar-benar berkesan dan bukan hanya mencukupkan syarat semakan semula sukatan kursus.

25 November lalu, Kerajaan Negeri Selangor melalui Exco Pendidikan Tinggi, Dr Halimah Ali telah mengumumkan bahawa semua kakitangan kerajaan negeri dan pelajar IPT milik kerajaan negeri itu dilarang menyertai kursus BTN kerana kursus tersebut bermotifkan doktrinasi politik dan perkauman. Sebagai maklumbalas, Timbalan Perdana Menteri, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin telah menafikan dakwaan serta menyebut bahawa sekiranya kerajaan negeri Selangor tidak mahu menyertai kursus BTN, maka itu adalah pilihan kerajaan negeri Selangor sendiri.

KARISMA turut mendapat maklumbalas daripada mahasiswa yang telah menyertai kursus tersebut bahawa dakwaan yang dibuat oleh Dr Halimah Ali ada kebenarannya. Memupuk sifat jati dalam diri setiap warganegara Malaysia adalah amat wajar, namun sekiranya penyampaian pengendali kursus menyentuh sensitiviti kaum, pasti ianya akan menyebabkan akal waras peserta sukar menerima fahaman yang diberikan. Dakwaan adanya tuduhan terhadap individu-individu tertentu yang dilihat bertentangan dengan haluan kerajaan pusat juga tidak perlu dilakukan di dalam kursus yang bertujuan menanamkan sikap patriotisme dan perpaduan masyarakat. Apatah lagi jasa-jasa kerajaan adalah sebenarnya tanggungjawab sebuah kerajaan yang dilantik rakyat, bukanlah senarai budi yang perlu dikenang dan dijadikan hutang oleh rakyat.

Meskipun modul JARI (Jasmani, Rohani, Emosi dan Intelek) sejak sekian lama digunakan dalam kursus BTN didakwa berjaya memupuk semangat patriotik namun kadangkala terdapat beberapa pengendali kursus ini yang telah mengambil kesempatan menimbulkan fenomena perkauman dan doktrinasi politik seperti yang didakwa oleh exco pendidikan kerajaan negeri Selangor baru-baru ini. Dakwaan ini perlulah dikaji dan diatasi segera oleh pihak yang berwajib.

Tegasnya, KARISMA berpendirian bahawa usaha mengemas kini dan menyemak semula sukatan kursus BTN perlu diteliti dengan mengambil kira pandangan daripada pelbagai pihak. Hasil semakan tersebut juga perlu didedahkan kepada umum supaya kerajaan dilihat adil dan telus berhubung isu ini. KARISMA juga menyarankan supaya latihan produktif yang selaras diberikan kepada semua pengendali kursus agar objektif kursus dalam menyatupadukan kaum dan semangat cintakan negara tercapai. Usaha ini harus dilaksanakan bersungguh-sungguh oleh Jabatan Perdana Menteri kerana sebelum ini sudah terdapat aduan dari ibu bapa peserta mengenai BTN tetapi tidak mendapat liputan seperti yang berlaku selepas larangan kerajaan negeri Selangor ini.

Pencapaian kursus Biro Tatanegara dengan mendapat maklum balas daripada peserta kursus akan datang diharapkan bersih daripada sebarang dakwaan doktrinasi politik mahupun perkauman. Adalah juga diharapkan sukatan kursus BTN yang baru benar-benar meningkatkan semangat cintakan negara, taat setia dan perpaduan masyarakat Malaysia seperti mana yang ingin diketengahkan dalam konsep 1 Malaysia.

Kesimpulannya, KARISMA ingin menyarankan tiga perkata utama sepertimana yang telah disebutkan diatas iaitu:

1. Usaha mengemas kini dan menyemak semula sukatan kursus BTN perlu diteliti dengan mengambil kira pandangan daripada pelbagai pihak.

2. Hasil semakan tersebut juga perlu didedahkan kepada umum supaya kerajaan dilihat adil dan telus berhubung isu BTN.

3. Latihan produktif yang selaras diberikan kepada semua pengendali kursus agar objektif kursus BTN ini dapat dicapai.

GOOD PLANNING AND GOOD MATERIALS?

2009-11-01T22:50:00.000-08:00

I’m pretty sure for the past month; most of us (probably Malaysian university students) are all busy with their last minute studies for the finals. The tense, depression, stress all surfaces at once. With the limited time frame, all work are scheduled so compact that you won’t have any time to think about anything other than books or assignments. That was a month’s back story.

Time ticks away.

Then you know it three days left.

Then suddenly it’s tomorrow.

Then it’s today.

Then it now!

All you could reflect is the effort you’ve put in, and the time you’ve managed to not go to waste, the energy you quenched all night and all the gloom you’ve had to face..comes to that 5 pieces of paper. Or more. Or less. Is that it? A semester pulling ourselves together, 4 months of consistently going to class and doing homeworks, having to travel back and forth just to meet our lecturer and ask one solution for a tricky question, taking notes and photocopying the text book because it’s cheaper but ended up not using it..just to have ourselves be put into a hall for 3 hours and flip some papers full of “Haha..got’cha” questions?

Most people would say, “don’t worry, the results aren’t that important, whats most important is that you know you’ve tried hard enough”..But that’s not the issue. That exam paper, will end up in our result script. And we’ll be holding to that very result for the rest of our lives!

You won’t have another chance to change anything on that final year 1st semester result script.
What has been done is done. You’ll have the glory or perhaps shame for eternity.
All this, goes back to two things at the early of the semester.

1. Good plannings

2. The best quality.

Without proper planning, one can barely see where he/she is heading. What needs to be done to have the results we need. What were done by those who succeeded and what came by those who failed and casted aside. Strategy in positioning ourselves where and when, what class and with whom, what’s next and why. And most of all, good planning will go to nothing with out execution.

The same analogy for a house. One would go with planning first; blue print, design, colour, things that’ll make the owner happy and things to avoid. And of course, the planning needs to be executed, or there won’t ever be a house standing.

Another step in building a good house is to have the best quality products and materials. Jotun paint, meranti wood etc. it’s the same thing as ourselves, we’d surely want the best things to wear. Branded shoes, well known trademark shirts, trendy accessories etc. in studies, we’d opt to go for the best teachers, good ‘nerdy’ friends, simple and compact past year students notes etc.

All this is to ensure that we have the best results in our finals. So that we could hold on to it proudly in the future.

Thus, this basic understanding applies similarly to our lives after death. What we do now determines the eternal final destination. And we could simply group it into two things. Good planning and best quality product.

Good planning also includes knowing where we came from, why we are here and where will we end. Planning to enhance ourselves to become better muslims, to build a family, to lead a faithful community and so on. Best quality product then reflects the quality of our ibadah. The pureness of our aqidah. Our ambitious dreams. What path we take to build our selves into strong obedient muslims; those who not only desires heaven and Allah redha, but also eager to bring along others with them.

وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلاً مِّمَّن دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِين

Al Fussilat:33 ;And whom speaks better than those who calls to Allah while he himself does good, and says: I am surely amongst those who submit?

وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

Ali Imran:104 ; And from amongst you there should be a party who invite to good and enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong, and those are them who shall be successful.

"if you are in the evening, don't wait for the morning to come. and if you're in the morning, don't wait for the evening. thus use your time wisely during you are healthy before you become sick, and your time while you live before you die" by Umar in Sahih Bukhari (hadith 40 of matan 40 of imam nawawi)

Because heaven is for eternity. And also hell. Same as our results.

To live in a beautiful house, a place filled with tranquility and peace, a place that’ll last for ever so that we could past it on to our children and to the next coming generation. A place to call home; will need proper planning and the best quality materials.

INILAH JALANNYA

2009-10-26T18:49:00.000-07:00

Begitu lama ukhuwah kita bertaut atas jalan ini
Sejak bila, pertemuan pertama, dimanapun sudah kabur di ingatan
Sekian lama ikatan kasih ini terjalin
Sekian lama jugalah aku memendam rasa
Agar kita meniti jalan yang sama, jalan yang panjang penuh cabaran
Begitu banyak kini yang kita raih
Begitu banyak jualah yang masih kita tagih
Impian kita akan sentiasa tinggi
Sebagaimana tingginya hakikat keimanan yang haq itu
Impian kita akan sentiasa kita perjuangkan
Sebagaimana tekadnya sang pejuang qital memburu syahid
Impian kita akan sentiasa kita kongsikan
Sebagaimana kita berkongsi makan diwaktu kepayahan
Ayuh kita layangkan pandangan pada impian ini
Tataplah sinar kejayaan yang pasti itu dengan semangat membara
Agar kita bina halatuju ini kepadanya
Yakinlah ia ada dihujung jalan
Suatu jalan yang panjang, payah dan sukar memang pasti
Menuntut kualiti yang bukan calang-calang
Memerah keringat yang tidakkan terdaya
Begitu banyak lompong hari semalam
Apakah kita layak untuk sekalipun duduk atas jalan ini?
Izzahlah dengan apa yang kita kerjakan!
Moga lompong semalam kita isi di waktu mendatang
kerana tiada lompong atas muka bumi melainkan ia akan segera diisi semula
baik dari tanah mahupun sekujur tubuh manusia
Tika jasad-jasad kita tidak lagi bersua
Tika suara kita tidak lagi saling berbicara
Tika ruh kita menghadap yang maha Esa
Menuntut belas kasih dan rahmanNya
“Ya Allah..aku telah meniti jalan keredhaanMu”
Mampukah kita ucapkan yang sedemikian?
Redhakah kita atas apa yang telah kita kerjakan?
Sahabat, Inilah jalannya
Thabatlah, kerana tiada lagi jalan yang lain

kadang-kadang bila semua yang berlaku hari tu, semuanya tak kena...

jiwa kita mula rasa 'down', terkenang kembali pengorbanan-pengorbanan sepanjang kenal dakwah & tarbiyah ni..hati terasa sangat mahu dekat dengan Allah, tapi terasa juga jauh dari nikmatnya.

"ambil wuduk, bukak aircond..baca quran"

ya Allah, bangunkan aku esok dengan semangat baru!

THE CAR

2009-10-07T17:37:00.000-07:00

History has stated that without the invention of the tire, people today would not have known about cars. So the tire was the key design to the development of the car and other transport medium we know today. But that’s centuries back.

Today, the car has become a little bit more sophisticated and more vulnerable. This is talking from the maintenance point of view since a car now doesn’t only needs it tires to be checked regularly, but also its engine and other machines that’ll make the car work or at least gets it going. Even the smallest of parts under the hood is as important as the engine itself.

So, yesterday I went to service my car at a nearby workshop. Usually I’d head to proton service center, but didn’t have the time and money, so decided just to have my lubricant serviced. Before that, the night before, my car got overheated on my way to UNITEN for my EMS test. The day before that, GG took the car to Putrajaya for his rowing practice, and the aircond suddenly wasn’t cooling anymore. I actually thought it was due to the aircond gas, but since the car suddenly suffered from abrupt turning off, I got the sense there was something wrong with the engine. The lubricant is almost dried up. That should be the cause. (It’s been almost 3 month since my last service, plus with the broken mileage meter, I had no idea when to service the car..was planning to do it after my finals which is mid November)

Forced to get things fixed, I took the car to the workshop. There. Only that I knew my water pump was leaking. That was the cause to my over heated engine. Solution:

1. Get it replaced for RM140 (pump) + RM20 (labor)
2. Frequently fill the radiator with water..Before leaving the house or after a long parking period.

And I took the later.

Don’t know how long I can stand this routine, but eventually will have to replace the pump after all.

The water pump. It’s not the main component of the car, but has a big side effect if it’s broken. Closely related to the performance of the car’s engine and the coolness of the aircond blow. So how could we related this to life?

If the engine is analogically the man’s heart (jantung), then the water pump could be the human’s respiratory/sweating system. Insignificant compared to the role the heart is playing. But if our sweating system doesn’t functions as it should, that’ll cause other problems which will sooner or later burden the heart itself.

If the engine is the heart (hati), then I could say that the water pump could be the good deeds we do. How is that logically put together? The heart would be the main host for our true aqidah and iman. The main core to be truly a servant of Allah. Thus the good deeds (amal) are insignificant compared to the core matter. (understanding that the minimum requirement for jannah is the syahadah). But does this neglect the significant relationship of our deeds and our aqidah? No. With the true aqidah, one must still perform ibadah and instill good deeds (amar ma’ruf nahi munkar) because it’s the testimony of what we believe in. trying to increase the quality of our ibadah, is just likely to be similar to servicing our car so that the engine runs smoothly. If our deeds are not good enough, then be prepared that our engine (aqidah) will face troublesome times. Thus always service ourselves for that smooth ride.

But do bear in mind. If the core is suffering from certain malfunction, then it is our priority to aid that first. Just like the car, if both the engine and the water pump needs repair, we’d probably and logically opt to repair the engine first. Basic priority problem here. As for us, if all our body is suffering from various disease, we would cure the heart first compared to others.

Thus having the right aqidah is a priority. Compared to the other matters of this deen, the ummah’s aqidah is top priority. But do we see that our ummah now has the right aqidah set in their lives? Is the ummah’s engine running fine?

We’re not moving brothers and sisters. The car engine is dead!

To revive it will constitute our time, our effort, our belongings..our lives.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آَمَنُوا هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى تِجَارَةٍ تُنجِيكُم مِّنْ عَذَابٍ أَلِيمٍ

تُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَتُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَأَنفُسِكُمْ ذَلِكُمْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ

[as-Saff 61:10] O you who believe! shall I lead you to a merchandise which may deliver you from a painful chastisement?

[as-Saff 61:11] You shall believe in Allah and His Apostle, and struggle hard in Allah's way with your property and your lives; that is better for you, did you but know!

broQ: updates on Abi (Dr. Hafidzi. Mohd Noor)

1. alhamdulillah, kesihatan abi makin baik berbanding sebelum ramadhan. mungkin berkat doa ikhwah/akhawat semua. jzkk ana ucapkan atas keperihatinan antum semua. berbanding dengan ramadhan2 sebelum ini, sejak abi mula dialisis, puasa ramadhan kali ni alhamdulillah dapat penuh.

2. sumbangan kewangan yang di initiate kan oleh jamaah, telahpun sampai sasarannya. dan sampai ke hari ini, setelah tabung ditutup, kami masih menerima sumbangan terus secara peribadi. sekali lagi ana ucapkan jzkk. moga Allah menggantikan apa yang antum infakkan dengan yang lebih baik. dan moga apa yang diberikan itu ada manfaat dan keberkatannya dalam usaha menyembuhkan keadaan abi.

3. insyaAllah abi akan ke cina untuk transplant dalam pertengahan november. belum pasti siapa yang akan temankan abi sepanjang proses perubatan disana. pada awalnya, plan nak buat pertengahan oktober ini, tapi kerana urusan kerja dan keluarga, dilewatkan sedikit.

4. abi masih menjalani proses dialisis seperti biasa. every isnin, rabu dan jumaat petang (3pm-7pm). sepanjang ramadhan hingga kini, abi lebih selesa memandi ke pusat dialisis sendiri. kadang-kadang kami adik beradik akan hantarkan (mana yang ada di rumah). tapi nampaklah, kesihatan abi lebih baik berbanding sebelum ini.

5. sekali lagi ana ucapkan jzkk pada semua yang menyumbang baik dari kewangan, doa, support dan sebagainya. moga Allah mengganjari jasa antum pada kami sekeluarga dengan jannah firdaus. tanggungjawab antum sudah selesai, ana, adik2 dan umi akan teruskan tanggungjawab kami untuk jaga abi sebaik mungkin. kami sedar, abi bukan milik kami sendirian...tapi milik ummah seluruhnya.

BIARPUN SEBENTAR, ASALKAN BUAT

2009-09-28T03:46:00.000-07:00

Alhamdulillah, segala puji bagi Allah. Empunya segala kuasa; kemampuan mentadbir, kekuatan menggerakkan, keupayaan menetapkan..segala sesuatu. keranaNya jualah, kita merasai nikmat ramadhan dan keagungan syawal. Dialah yang berkuasa untuk melenyapkan jua segala sesuatu, dari ada kepada tiada mahupun menjadikan sebaliknya. Sebagaimana sahabat-sahabat kita yang terlebih dahulu pergi menghadapNya, sedang ramadhan hanya beberapa hari lagi, sedangkan syawal sebentar sahaja lagi.

Atas setiap sesuatu, Dia menjadikannya tiada yang sia-sia. Setiap langkah yang kita tapaki, setiap hela nafas yang kita tarik dan hembus, setiap sel yang tumbuh dan mati..tiada yang sia-sia. Begitu jua hidup dan mati. Semuanya ada sebab dan musabab, semuanya ada punca dan tempat kembali.

Al Mulk ayat 2.

Dan Dia jadikan al Maut dan al Hayah untuk uji dikalangan kamu, siapakah yang baik amalannya.

Fenomena kematian dan kehidupan bersangkutan dengan masa. Kerana setiap orang (makhluk yang hidup) ada masanya yang tertentu, dan apabila habis rezeki masa yang dikurniakan, kembalilah ruhnya kepada tuannya.

Allah tidak menjadikan sebab malam al Qadr itu sebagai asas kepada ibadah. Lailatul Qadr bukannya punca kepada ibadah malam-malam ganjil sewaktu ramadhan. Jika itulah asasnya, maka lailatul Qadr telahpun berlalu. Adakah kita tidak akan menghidupkan malam lagi dengan ibadah? Terhentikah amalam I’tikaf di masjid kerana tiada lagi malam ganjaran yang dikejar-kejar selama 10 malam sebelum ini?

Terimbau kembali detik-detik akhir ramadhan bersama keluarga. Maklumlah, sepanjang bulan ramadhan masing-masing akan sibuk dengan urusan masing-masing. Terpaksalah menghidupkan biah ibadah sendirian bersama rakan-rakan serumah dan sekolah. Bila sudah pulang, peluang yang ada patut dimanfaatkan untuk bersama termasuklah aktiviti solat berjamaah dan qiam.

Hari aku pulang, khamis 27 ramadhan. Sesampai dirumah, azan isya’ telahpun berkumandang. Sebelum itu, dah janji dengan Odi nak hantarkan dia ke KTM untuk dia bersama rakan-rakan sekolah Hira’ Jeram berik’tikaf di masjid UIAM, namun atas kecelaruan yang berlaku, dia bermalam di rumah sahaja malam itu. Walaupun malam itu malam ke 28 (genap), tapi abi mengingatkan kami untuk keluar beri’tikaf di masjd-masjid berhampiran (terutamanya masjid UKM – yang memang jadi port kami sekeluarga). Abi dan umi mungkin tidak akan turut serta kerana keletihan, maklum sahaja keadaan abi yang kurang sihat kebelakangan ini. Aku pula berjanji dengan Odi untuk beri’tikaf di masjid Besi (masjid Tengku Mizan – masjid baru putrajaya)..kataku “kita keluar rumah pukul 11 malam ya..nanti kejut abang, nak tido dulu”.

11.00am

Aku masih tidur.

3.00am

Aku masih di sofa. Tidur.

3.30am

“abang..bangun! jom kita I’tikaf kat masjid UKM. Sempat lagi ni” kata abi. Waktu itu, semua orang sudah bangun. Aku bergegas ke bilik air untuk siapkan diri termasuklah mandi (memang kebiasaan, sebelum I’tikaf mesti mandi, mungkin mengambil I’brah surah mudathir). Sewaktu aku keluar rumah; umi, abi dan Odi sudahpun ada dalam kereta (amin di seremban, on the way balik dari Kuantan). Sesampai di UKM, jam sudah 4.00am.

Pagi itu, kami sempat untuk qiam fardi dan I’tikaf di Masjid UKM sampai pukul 5.00am.

Begitulah abi mendidik kami. Hata dirumahpun, jika sempat kami bangun sebelum subuh, selalu diingatkan untuk bangunkan solat tahajud 2 rakaat paling kurang. Waktu kecil dahulu, dititipkan wang dalam saku baju melayu untuk dijadikan sedekah ke masjid sewaktu solat jumaat. Kadang-kadang 20sen, 50 sen..tapi tak pernah abi lupa. Sejak dapat duit belanja sekolah, abi dah hentikan. Cuma kami yang lupa nak jadikan ia amalan.

Allah menguji hambaNya dengan masa yang dikurniakan. Kearah mana ia luangkan. Dan Alhamdulillah, malam itu kami berjaya meluangkannya untuk bersama Allah walaupun sebentar.

Mungkin tajuk posting aku kali ini lebih tepat jika aku jadikannya “BAIRPUN SEDIKIT ASALKAN BUAT”..

Tapi memang malam itu, kami I’tikaf 1 jam sahaja.

broQ: insyaAllah next posting on updates pasal health condition abi. Alhamdulillah, abi makin sihat.

2.30am Pulang Mendengar Wasiat

2009-08-02T17:10:00.000-07:00

banyak coretan hendak aku buat sejak hari jumaat. awal persediaan ke himpunan mansuh, penahanan bai, sukarelawan tahanan perhimpunan di balai polis bukit jalil sampailah ke site visit program rehlah KiDHL. tapi mungkin hati terpanggil untuk menulis berkenaan tajuk posting dahulu, takut terlupa harapan dan pesanan-pesanan terakhirnya.

mungkin belum lagi masanya untuk abi pergi, tapi sejak seminggu lepas, abi demam-demam. medical check-up pula mengesahkan kehadiran air dalam jantung abi, which is not a very good sign especially in a condition like him. currently, he's heart is functioning with only 40% of it's actualy strength. below 50%....its less than half.

kebetulan malam tadi, kami adik beradik semua ada di bangi. odi dan amin datang ke DK sekitar 2.00am untuk panggil aku pulang. mereka cuba hubungi hp, tapi kehabisan battery sebab tak charge sejak perhimpunan mansuh tempoh hari. sudah pasti ia panggilan pulang yang agak berat bagiku. dalam hati sudah terdetik yang bukan-bukan. tapi aku gagahkan diri untuk balik jua.

"entah, abi terasa nak sangat jumpa anak-anak malam ni..keadaan abi sekarang dah kurang sihat. Dr tak kasi minum air, tapi tekak abi terasa sangat haus. abi tak panggil semua untuk sedihkan anak-anak, tapi abi nak sampaikan pesanan. jantung abi dah tak kuat, mungkin abi tak pergi dalam masa terdekat ni, tapi kita kena bersedia.

abi tak ada harta sangat. rumah-rumah sewa tuh jelah yang ada..buku-buku abi yang banyak kat rumah ni, manfaatkanlah. (itu jelah harta aku boleh relate dengan ayah aku, rumah-rumah sewa tu tak pernah terlintas dalam fikiran). abi ada 4 lagi buku yang belum terbit, abi ketepikan untuk anak-anak dan umi uruskan.

jaga waktu solat, jangan tinggal. jaga kebajikan umi, bantu umi. nanti kalau abi perlu, mungkin atuk kita kena hantar ke rumah orang-orang tua. take care of atuk. abi mintak maaf banyak-banyak pada semua, abi selalu buat semua orang susah. abi redha dengan semua orang. abi tak ada simpan sedikitpun dalam hati."

mungkin as time flows by, aku akan ingat lagi bait-bait ucapannya malam itu.

cuma, mampukah aku teruskan perjuangannya. mampukah aku jadi setanding dengannya?

pada yang membaca, panjatkan doa untuk ayahku, Dr. Hafidzi Mohd Noor..agar terus dikurniakan kesihatan berpanjangan, kekuatan untuk meneruskan perjuangan. mungkin boleh bantu jika sms kata-kata semangat..ziarah mungkin kurangkan. keadaannya tak begitu mengizinkan orang untuk datang ziarah (keletihan yang amat sangat).

aku hargai jasa semua. terutamanya, being there with him, when i myslef isn;t there to help him.

MANSUH...panggilan sudah berkumandang!

2009-07-28T17:27:00.000-07:00

apakah engkau masih mahu duduk sekadar menyaksikan?

perubahan dunia yang dilakukan sang pejuang

enak sangatkah berlindung dibalik dinding rumah merasa selamat?

sedang mereka dikurung dicerca dihambat

engkau mahu merubah dunia, tapi hanya dengan kata-kata?

berjuang dan bercakap, dua medan yang tiada sama

sibukkan diri dengan perkara kecil, sebab engaku tiada kaitan?

ya mungkin bukan engkau atau keluarga engkau dibalik jeriji besi kamunting...

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انفِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُم بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الآخِرَةِ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ

[Taubah:38] Hai orang-orang yang beriman, apakah sebabnya bila dikatakan kepadamu : "Berangkatlah (untuk berperang) pada jalan Allah" kamu merasa berat dan ingin tinggal di tempatmu? Apakah kamu puas dengan kehidupan di dunia sebagai ganti kehidupan di akhirat? Padahal keni'matan hidup di dunia ini (dibandingkan dengan kehidupan) diakhirat hanyalah sedikit.

وَلَوْ أَرَادُواْ الْخُرُوجَ لأَعَدُّواْ لَهُ عُدَّةً وَلَـكِن كَرِهَ اللّهُ انبِعَاثَهُمْ فَثَبَّطَهُمْ وَقِيلَ اقْعُدُواْ مَعَ الْقَاعِدِينَ

[Taubah:46] Dan jika mereka mau berangkat, tentulah mereka menyiapkan persiapan untuk keberangkatan itu, tetapi Allah tidak menyukai keberangkatan mereka, maka Allah melemahkan keinginan mereka. Dan dikatakan kepada mereka: "Tinggallah kamu bersama orang-orang yang tinggal itu."

Diversity: how you look on it?

2009-06-04T18:00:00.000-07:00

Talking about this issue, it reminds me of my first National program that i attended as a participant: Konvensyen Tarbiyah Nasional (KONTARN) in 2007 which was held in Melaka. One of the input sessions was given by Dr. Harlina (Ketua Wanita JIM) on 'Diversity Management'.

i couldn't recall all the significant points shared during the talk, but what i could conclude from it was that diversity will happen in organizations and in our daily lives. thus how we manage it will reflect on the effects, either we deal with it or ignore, either we take advantage of it or let it be in control, either we demolish it or put some effort towards working together.

Currently i'm doing my practical training in STS. We have this Turnaround (TA) project with Petlin where my company provides the maintenance services during the regulatory DOSH shutdown. having to work 7 days a week, going back at 10pm, i see and deal with alot of trends and personalities. There are those who blame, while others won't take the blame. There are those who are committed, while others take advantage. There are those who know, while others act like they know. There are those who gets work done, while....well, no one gets work undone or lag behind!

Yeap, thats the scenario here. We deal with alot of diversity, from different family backgrounds, different working style, different company..work is still being done. and everyone is chasing progress. no progress is not an option.

I've learnt alot from my supervisor, who is also the STS Terengganu Branch Manager and the TA manager; Hj Fakhrul Anuar Hj Zulkawi. I'm very impressed with how he handles diversity, how he changes stressful situations and changes it into opportunities that opens up new beginnings. It's probably how he views it. From that only each 'defect' can be 'chances' in management.

From the PKMY scene, we have guys who stick with PKMY, while others prefer 3RUNMY. This is also a complex situation where we have different opinions but stick together. As i strongly believe that by being in one big community will benefit all. Although the opportunity to discuss such issue in the community is quite hard, but by looking at it in a possitive manner will solve alot rather than arguing on it with no solution.

It was just yesterday that i had dinner with some of the Petlin trainees who were also the same age as me from UTP. Shakur, Rizal, Farid and Hafiz. I met Rizal the first time i went into Petlin, and had the first impression of that he must be damn rich since he's such a young engineer. Then i met Rizal while applying my TA briefing card, i addressed him 'abang'. hahaha..the second time we met was outside the Petlin Musolla. Only then we got the chance the introduce ourselves.

We shared our backgrounds, and it turns out that Shakur knows Abdullah Omar...as the President of KARISMA. So i asked if he joins any of the KARISMA's activities or perhaps want to join. He answered that he's already involved with another wadah, which i didn't ask further.

so what is it..

A) different ship, same destination?

B) same ship, different task, same destination?

C) different ship, same flag, same destination?

To me personally, i'd go for B. i don't know, but to me..We all are on the same ship and we all agree to the one flag that the ship carries. It's just that we have different task so that the ship always progresses forward towards our ultimate destination. If one section fails or slows down with they're designated tasks, the ship also slows down. If one crew section lags behind, all crew lags too.

Which one answer we pick..the question still lingers.

WHERE IS OUR KHALIFAH..OUR SHIP CAPTAIN?

ANTARA MEMPERTAHANKAN AIB & MENAHAN AMARAH

2009-05-14T21:25:00.000-07:00

Semanjak bermastautin di Dungun, surau Sekolah Menengah Teknik Dungunlah yang menjadi medan untuk bersama kariah setempat. Bukan tiada surau penduduk yang berhampiran, cuma surau sekolah ni lebih hampir dan mampu aku hidupkan usaha-usaha dakwah dikalangan pelajar sekolah. Mungkin kerana sudah lama bersama mereka, ada dikalangan mereka tidak lagi menganggap aku ni sebagai orang luar yang selalunya dihormati, dijaga haknya sebagai pengunjung dan sebagainya.

Sudah banyak barang yang hilang di surau itu. Telefon bimbit yang baru masuk usia 3 tahun, selipar yang seminggu dibeli..dan juga maruah aku. Tidak ingin aku kongsikan pengalaman buruk ini, Cuma banyak hikmah yang aku belajar dari peristiwa ‘besar’ yang berlaku dalam 5 hingga 10 minit aku terkejar-kejar untuk solat asar sebelum melaksanakan janji untuk berusrah dengan ajk-ajk surau. Tapi yang nak dihighlightkan di sini, maruah aku tercalar akibat tindakan ‘bodoh’ mereka.

Aku panggil salah seorang dari mereka yang rasanya berlima.

Aku rasa marah. Dan aku mahu pertahankan aib aku.

Cuma bagaimana ingin aku tegur?

Aku tanya rasional tindakan mereka. Jawapan yang diberikan tidak munasabah. Aku cuba sedaya mampu untuk sekadar senyum. Aku Tanya lagi, menegaskan ingin dapatkan jawapan mereka. Dia membisu. Aku mengugut. Dia pertahankan jawapannya..aku hilang sabar.

Namun Alhamdulillah, hati kembali sedikit tenang. Cuba untuk memberikan sedikit hikmah dalam teguran. Aku tanya dia kenapa tak solat. Dia jawab dah solat. Sedangkan jamaah baru usai solat asar..kami masih di pintu surau. Aku suruh dia berjanji untuk usahakan solat berjamaah lain kali. Aku mintak jamaah yang baru keluar surau menjadi saksi.

Rasionalkah tindakkan aku? Berhikmahkah..atau aku sekadar ingin kelihatan baik setelah teguran aku itu kelihatan sedikit tidak islamik?

Bila aku fikirkan balik, tindakan aku sebenarnya telah memalukan dia. Dan tindakkan aku itu salah. Mungkin pada sewaktu itu aku melihatkan teguran dan perjanjian akhir kami sebagai satu usaha untuk menggalakkan usaha ma’ruf, namun lebih jelas lagi ia menutup ruang-ruang dakwah aku padanya. Selepas ini, perjanjian kami itu menjadi mainannya, dan aib aku itu mungkin akan terus disebarkan.

Mungkinkah jika aku sekadar menegur tindakannya itu salah, dan mengahirkan pertemuan itu dengan senyuman..ia akan membuahkan hasil yang lebih baik? Bukankah dengan menahan amarah, ia sudahpun menjadi satu qudwah hasanah?

Aku teringat surah ali-Imran ayat 134. Mereka yang bertakwa itu; yang menginfakkan hartanya baik ketika lapang mahupun sempit, menahan amarahnya dan memaafkan manusia.
Menahan amarah, aku gagal saat itu. Memaafkannya, sehingga kini peristiwa itu masih bermain di fikiran. Aku mahu membawa perbekalan takwa, namun kriteria inipun belum mampu aku garap dan laksanakan dalam kehidupan.

Ya Allah, Kau tutup dan lindungilah aibku, perteguhkan pendirianku, jadikan aku dikalangan mereka yang menahan nafsu amarahnya dan mudah memaafkan orang lain.amin.

Persoalan Buat Kaum Wanita...

2009-05-12T02:47:00.000-07:00

amat jarang aku buat posting sebegini..mungkin tidak pernah lagi..

tapi satu persoalan besar yang perlu dirungkaikan:

KEGEDIKKAN; ADAKAH IA SATU FENOMENA YANG DIBUAT-BUAT ATAU SEMULA JADI DIKALANGAN WANITA?

aku kegelian.

mohon pandangan ramai.

Industrial Training @ STS

2009-04-28T00:39:00.001-07:00

these are the three plans i've drawn since the last 3 weeks or so of industrial training here. it's not just the drawing, i had to measure up the place, check out the site, get the original idea and feedbacks from my supervisors where each drawing has its own person in charge, go for meetings and have the board make you change everything..well not everything.

but alhamdulillah, its not much a fussy work.

now i'm in charge for the scaffolding progress. not really monitoring the work, but rather charting their progress and dealing with the workleader so that they meet the deadline. frankly speaking, the latest progress i've taken is 0n 22nd April for 35% where the plan should actually have been 74%!!!! and we're supposed to be 100% this 30th April..hahaha.2 MORE DAYS TO GO. this is legendary!

so hopefully everything goes well for the TA (Turnaround) in Petlin. its a big thing actually, where the whole factory shuts down for maintenance work. i was told they are loosing RM3billion/month for the shutdown..and if we delay the maintenance, it'll cost both parties BIG MONEYYY. and probably less salary (for me~)

anyways, tomorrow will have to head down to Petlin to meet the TA Manager for his approval of the drawings. then pass them to the contract consultants. one thing i'm worried about is that i've never met this TA Manager before. and i was told that he's always mad during meetings..huhu.i have confidence with my work, so there should be no worries. ye ke?

one thing about these drawings, we could never get a clear picture if don't look at the whole plan. know each function, who to deal with, know the work flow..and one thing for sure, you have to be there to draw.

in life, you could never have that big picture of your life, if you don't know your objective of living, the functions you serve for others and yourself, who to deal with so that life has a bigger agenda than just living..and most of all, you have to be in the community to understand which part you could play and which part you should avoid being.

broQ: Still trying to adjust myself with 'Sunday Is the First Day of the Week'..being 22years old now, i'm already stuck with the 'Monday Is the First Day of the Week' syndrome

Blood Group Test

2009-04-22T18:31:00.000-07:00

As a requirement for my industrial training under Science-Tech Solutions (STS) Sdn. Bhd., I had to undergo the NIOSH Oil Gas Safety Passport (OGSP) for future work access with PETRONAS. Anyway, I took the seminar a week later after my finals, just days before I depart to Terengganu..one thing that they needed from me apart for my passport size picture, was my blood type. I thought I had it done years ago when I did the kidney test in Pantai Hospital, but there wasn’t any documents related to my blood type at home. I only noticed this the night before the seminar! Hahaha..

This only meant that I had to go for a blood test. And it has to be done before I go to Terengganu. So the seminar was on Wednesday, I had Thursday to go for the blood test. But I didn’t. took Thursday as total holiday. Then it was left with Friday.

Being smart, I went to our family clinic (klinik Tengku Husni in Serdang) in the afternoon. Which was a very big mistake since they only take blood samples in the morning so that they could send it to the lab. So I referred to another clinic in Bangi. They had the same answer~

Knowing there was no other choice, I went back to Serdang and asked for alternatives. But there weren’t any. But there is one place that does blood test on Saturdays..Klinik Kesihatan Putrajaya. But they only do it for emergency cases. Blood groupings will be on Monday. But I was given the advice to try which I did. But only to be turned down. I went back to clinic Tengku Husni, and finally, the suggested me to go to Pathlab which was near to South City Plaza..Alhamdulillah. they were still open at 12pm.

All this is just the intro~

I was greeted by this very friendly Chinese auntie who then was the one who stuck the needle into me.
“You look nervous..Calm down la boy. It won’t hurt”
“Never took blood test before ah?”
“Pernah, but then it was years ago..I’ve forgot how the pain was”
“Don’t move ah..saya nak cocok ni”
“Aiyo boy! You gerak tadi..Tengok, blood not coming in”
“Nasib baik needle tak patah..ni I only used the small diameter tau”

All this talking is just the background story~

During that moment of waiting to be struck by the needle, I tried my best to calm down. Not to react and just to accept the pain. Although realizing that, I did react due to the small pain.

“the Muslim is like one body. Apart of it feels pain, all of the body will suffer too”
The hadith stated by RasuluLlah was clearly undoubtful..as it is the perfect analogy. I was pinned on the left arm, and that little pain was felt through the entire body creating a sudden reaction to withstand the pain or perhaps to just eliminate the pain. Even before the needle was struck, I saw the needle, thought of the pain that I’ll feel, it wasn’t only my left arm that was ready, but my entire body was prepared for it.

My story is just about a blood test pain. It’s not loosing an arm or a leg. Not even going through a big operation..So if the ummah is analogically a human body..then what kind of pain is it suffering from? Are we enduring the pain? Can we feel it? Is it so little that we don’t care..or too much till we’re left with no effort to fight back?

وَلْتَكُن مِّنكُمْ أُمَّةٌ يَدْعُونَ إِلَى الْخَيْرِ وَيَأْمُرُونَ بِالْمَعْرُوف

وَيَنْهَوْنَ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَأُوْلَـئِكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ

[3-Ali Imran:104] And from among you there should be a party who invite to good and enjoin what is right and forbid the wrong, and these it is that shall be successful.

If I refer back to my situation, there will be apart of my body that’ll react to the pain. If the pain is too much, then perhaps one part of the body will extremely react to end the pain. That’s the law, basic instinct, natural reaction.

Thus in the current situation the ummah (meaning the whole mankind) is facing, there will be apart of us that will do the right thing to solve the matter. Jihad, dakwah, politics, etc.

Then again, the question repeats:
AM I AMONGST THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE URGING GOOD DEEDS?
WOULD I LIKE TO BE?
OR WOULD I RATHER SIT?

we see great examples in the internet world, be it from proffesionals and also those who want to contribute and make a change like my friend; amir. be it who ever you might be, the task and responsibility to urge good deeds it rested upon each and everyones shoulders. and always remember, even a small deed as big as the smallest known atoms, it's all counted by Allah and for surely be rewarded.

وَنَضَعُ الْمَوَازِينَ الْقِسْطَ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ فَلَا تُظْلَمُ نَفْسٌ شَيْئاً

وَإِن كَانَ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِّنْ خَرْدَلٍ أَتَيْنَا بِهَا وَكَفَى بِنَا حَاسِبِينَ

[21-Al Anbiya':47] And We will set up a just balance on the day of resurrection, so no soul shall be dealt with unjustly in the least; and though there be the weight of a grain of mustard seed, (yet) will We bring it, and sufficient are We to take account.

Planning Last Minit

2008-12-21T06:41:00.000-08:00

Alhamdulillah, segala puji pada yang empunya segala keindahan dunia, langit dan yang diantara keduanya. Kelmarin asalnya hendak bermukhayyam bersama PPI Uniten di hulu Langat, namun last minit, haat tidak kesampaian lantaran terlalu ramai yang mendatarkan diri ke program tersebut. Syura pihak pengurusan, senior members terpaksa berkorban tidak turut serta kali ini bagi member laluan buat adik-adik. Itu yang terbaik.

Kerana planning hujung minggu dah lari, terpaksa buat planning baru. Last minit. Last minit kepada last minit.

Sempat ke program Mawaddah Day FASA (alumni al-amin bangi – Former Al-Amin Bangi Students Association) di al-amin. Sebab memang tak jangka dapat pergi, terpaksa berkayuh ke sekolah kerana niat di hati tidak mahu susahkan orang lain. Rasanya dalam 20 minit sahaja berkayuh, tak jauh. Sesampai ke sekolah, Nampak muka-muka yang dah lama tak bersua. Ada juga kawan-kawan amin yang dah habis SPM, semua tanyakan dia..no komen. Memang famous.

Dulu pernah kami satu sekolah, masing-masing cerita tentang TV dan mainan. Sekarang, Alhamdulillah, ligat bercerita gerak kerja dakwah di IPT masing-masing, tak kurang juga Bahri (dulu kami panggil die Syed je) dengan cerita politik kampus DQ nya. Aku yakin, masing-masing memainkan pernannya. Walau apa jua wadahnya, matlamat kita satu. Menyampaikan.

Balik dari program, berkayuh lagi. Tapi kali ini ditimpa musibah sedikit akibat salah judgment. Lambat masuk selekoh, gear pedal terkena pavement menyebabkan sedikit bengkok. Hasilnya, terpaksa kayuh guna gear kecik, sedangkan jauh lagi nak sampai UNITEN..carilah kedai basikal. Jumpa satu dekat dengan shell fasa 1. Apek empunya kedai ketuk sekali dua je pakai tukul. Siap. Tak perlu tukar gear set baru. Alhamdulillah, bolehlah sambung kayuh.

Sampai bilik, zuhur & tidur.

Plan kedua nak isi time hujung minggu ni – rehlah ke air terjun Sungai Gabai. Contact sana. Contact sini. Akhirnya geng usrah Zenit (uniten cup 2009) menyahut seruan. Fadhulla (aka Pok Loh), Irsyad, Syafik, Nizam, Munzir & Airil. Plus kami. Aku, GG, Syafiq Rahim and Izzudin. Kalau ikut planning asal, nak buat sabtu tengah hari, tapi ramai yang tak dapat. Tukar ke ahad pagi sebab terserempak dengan Pok Loh, Irsyad & Syafik dengan lepak tepi Upten malam sebelumnya. Time tu lah set masa. Esok pagi terus gerak.

Pagi ahad, aku jalan kaki je nak ke tempat kumpul. GG mengekor kat belakang, tengah obsess ambik gambar dengan DSLR Olympus barunya. Tengah jalan tu lah Allah temu kan dengan Hazim Sharudin. Die tengah kayuh basikal balik dari sarapan gamaknya. Sempat beli surat khabar lagi. Borak-borak sambil jalan ke Amanah, berjaya convince kan dia untuk turut sama. Jumlah semuanya 10 orang, Munzir tarik diri last minit.

Bergeraklah kami dengan 2 kereta; kelisa Syafiq & waja Din. Ada kalanya kami borak-borak, dari isu umum sampailah perkenalan kepada karisma. Intro je. Tapi yang penting, faham yang sekarang nih kita dalam proses nak membentuk peribadi-peribadi muslim. Medan mana nak bergerak, itu kemudian cerita : )

Dalam perjalanan kami singgah beli makanan – nasi lemak, karipap dan air minum 2 botol. Buat mengisi perut kami yang rasanya semua belum bersarapan kecuali Hazim~rasanya 10 minit kemudian, kami sampai ke destinasi. Rasanya jam dah pun pukul 10 pagi. Kami terpaksa parking kereta agak jauh dari pintu masuk. Pakcik yang jaga tiket masuk kata kami datang lewat, ada yang datang bawak family seawall 7.30 pagi. Hmmm, ada pepatah inggeris, “early birds gets the worms”, betul kata tu. Tapi “early worms gets eaten by birds” betul juga..

Lubuk air terjun utama dah pun dipenuhi orang. Kami rancang nak mendaki ke atas. Cungap. Sampai. Ramai juga orang. Naik lagi. Jumpa port.

Kami mandi aje. Main pun, lawan tahan nafas & simbah-simbah..selain tu, ada juga detik-detik cemas. Hazim tergelincir. NauzubiLLah. Tinggal paras atas pinggang aje yang masih berpaut pada batu. Aku juga tergelincir. Beberapa inci lagi je nak masuk air bersama kamera DSLR baru GG. GG cuak. Aku tak tahu. Die risaukan aku atau kameranya. Hahaha. Alhamdulillah, Allah selamatkan semuanya.

Puas mandi? Tidak. Tapi aku puas sebab orang lain puas. Aku puas sebab dapat merapatkan lagi ukhuwah dengan adik-adik ni. Aku puas sebab aku rasa rapat lagi dengan mereka.
Moga ukhuwah ini berkekalan. Kekal atas dasar ketaatan pada Allah.

K.A.M.I - irsyad, syafiq, fadhulla, bro Q, GG, izzudin, nizam, hazim (duduk), airil & syafik

BroQ: indah..namun sangat sedikit sekali mereka yang bersyukur. Ya Allah, golongkanlah kami di antara mereka yang bersyukur.

The Urge To Move Forward

2008-11-17T17:12:00.000-08:00

Peace to all my brothers, sisters and dear readers..

Why is moving important in life?

and why the forward motion usually gets the attention of progress and achievements?

Without movements, I’m likely being preserved of being dead. Or perhaps not a living organism. Either way, what’s the difference..what defines my existence as a living creature is that I can move, I have body gestures, I tend to react physically when prompt to.

But with only the capability of moving, it means nothing if I stay stagnant at one point. No changes made, just simply a thoughtful mind in a dead body. No reactions, as if a lying carcase on the road getting smashed over and over again by passing cars, not able to just shift myself aside to safety. No contribution, just like..nothing in this world, cause everything in this life has a purpose and contribution towards itself and others.

مَا خَلَقْنَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَا إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَأَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى وَالَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا عَمَّا أُنذِرُوا مُعْرِضُونَ

Al Ahqaaf 46:3

We did not create the heavens and the earth and what is between them two save with truth and (for) an appointed term; and those who disbelieve turn aside from what they are warned of.

Yet again, why is forward considered the motion of progress?

Is it because walking backwards is awkward?

Or perhaps ‘let the past be as it is’?

However, if we look back to the vector system, we would realize that there is no so called forward motion. In physics, there’s no forward motion. There are only positive or negative motions and directions. Then what is considered forward? Even if you take a particle moving in the negative direction (based on the standard x-y axis) and put it respective to you as the particle, then that negative direction IS FORWARD.

Where am I heading with this topic?

The urge to move forward is to progress in everything I do. The motion and direction is clearly subjective. But the point that declares everything is the end point. If the end point leads to nothing then the motion taken is obviously useless, worst to come, the efforts I’ve taken is simply wasted..time, money, energy etc.

At certain times, I’d feel stagnant but still do realize that doing so leads to nothing. And some times, I do have that eagerness to do things but yet nothing in mind of the results of my actions. Have the end in mind. With that, any motion I take, any direction I head, will most likely be meaningful and pictures the progress motion.

Well, is going backwards considered progress?

Why couldn’t it be? Going backwards is not a sign of retreat nor is it running away. Putting backwards into the big picture, is more of looking back. To seek knowledge of the past. To clear the misconceptions to enhace understandings. To provide one self with motivations from successful stories. To hunt for solutions of occurring problems.

سُنَّةَ اللَّهِ فِي الَّذِينَ خَلَوْا مِن قَبْلُ وَلَن تَجِدَ لِسُنَّةِ اللَّهِ تَبْدِيلاً

Al Ahzab 33:62

(Such has been) the course of Allah with respect to those who have gone before; and you shall not find any change in the course of Allah.

Anything that interferes with the motion is either dealt with or perhaps ignored. To proceed one will take all steps required and leave those unnecessary aside. Camping would be a great example; I’ll only pack things required and leave the things most probably I won’t need. If something is a necessity and I don’t have it, most certain that I’ll drag myself out to get it. But if the thing is unimportant, I don’t have it, why bother getting it?

In life, to have that progress motion, one will need to set his goal, only then will one know what to pack. The packing is the progress motion. Being prepared is that little achievements most people neglect in the rush to move forward.

Let’s give this some scenes:
1. Parkour (path); efficient and fluid (end point); training (necessity)
2. Student (path); good grades and a fine job (end point); study (necessity)
3. Life (path); mardhotiLlah (end point); islam (necessity)

One with the best preparations will most likely be achieving his end point. And do bare in mind, ones with good preparations are those who brings along less unnecessary things. Or none at all.

وَتَزَوَّدُواْ فَإِنَّ خَيْرَ الزَّادِ التَّقْوَى وَاتَّقُونِ يَا أُوْلِي الأَلْبَابِ

the best thing you could pack is TAQWA

Mus'ab bin Umair; A Great Companion of The Prophet saw.

2008-10-15T07:37:00.000-07:00

K.A.M.I. sewaktu Usrah Raya Gath di 'open house' tertutup bro Q dan bro GG.

Alhamdulillah, again today was given another chance to breathe air and see day light. And once again given a chance to preach on islam despite the very little audience in the musolla. I took hakim’s place for it was actually his turn to give the tazkeerah today but since he had other things to do (study for his thermodynamics which was just now), I jump in as a replacement.

Lacking in preparations, I considered talking again about Musab bin Umair. Which I did during our usrah’s raya gath last week. So I started off with this great sahabat’s back ground of how he was raised under such wealth and care of his rich parents in Mecca. It was told that the paths he took would still have his scent even though he was long gone. He wore the best clothings and was amongst those most talked about by the Quraisy girls. He had everything one child or even anyone could ever ask for.

This great companion of the Prophet Muhammad saw. was then neglected and by his mother ever since she knew that he embraced islam. But Musab took the initiative of running away to habsyah with some other early believers. Actually when his mother (a very well known and influential woman) knew that her son embraced islam, Musab was called upon to face the family. Musab did, and infront of his family members he recited the quran which then soft hearted his mother from slapping his face. But still his mother declined to accept the truth. Hidayah is from Allah and we can ensure that every one will receive it but it goes all the way to the heart wether to accept it or not. Same goes to Musab’s mother, and she refused it. Musab also met with his mother upon returning from habsyah but yet again forced to return back to their ancestors believes. But Musab’s faith was strong. “Go as you wish! You’re not my son any more!” “Mother, have I adviced you and I have cared for you (that you still refuse to accept islam). For that, witness me that I believe in Allah and Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger.”

How brittle the tie of blood compared to the tie of aqidah!

Musab was then chosen by Ar-Rasul to be the first ambassador of islam to Yathrib. It was said that not even one of the settlers of yathrib was not attended by Musab to preach about islam. And as we know, Yathrib turned to Madinah.

During Ghazwatul Uhud, Musab was again chosen to hold the banner of islam. During the chaotic period when the muslims were facing a defeat, the kuffar aimed to kill the Prophet Muhammad saw. knowing this, Musab intentionally moved forward shouting and attacking the kuffar’s front to attrack them from targeting the Prophet saw. his act was accomplished that he died doing so, protecting Muhammad saw.

Ibn sa’ad: “Diceritakan kepada kami oleh Ibrahim bin Muhammad bin Syurahbil Al-Abdari dari ayahnya, ia berkata:
“Mus’ab bin Umair adalah pembawa bendera di Perang Uhud. Tatkala barisan Kaum Muslimin pecah, Mus’ab bertahan pada kedudukannya. Datanglah seorang mush berkuda, Ibn Qumaiah namanya, lalu menebas tangannya hingga putus, sementara Mus’ab mengucapkan: ”Muhammad itu tiada lain hanyalah seorang Rasul, yang sebelumnya telah didahului oleh beberapa Rasul”. Maka dipegangnya bendera dengan tangan kirinya sambil membungkuk melindunginya. Musuh pun menebas tangan kirinya itu hingga putus pula. Mus’ab membungkuk ke arah bendera, lalu dengan kedua pangkal lengan meraihnya ke dada sambil mengucapkan: ”Muhammad itu tiada lain hanyalah seorang Rasul, dan sebelumnya telah didahului oleh beberapa Rasul”. Lalu orang berkuda itu menyerangnya ketiga kali dengan tombak, dan menusuknya hingga tombak itu pun patah. Mus’ab pun gugur, dan bendera jatuh”.

Taken directly from the book of ‘60 SAHABAT RASULULLAH by Khalid Muhammad Khalid’.

This one of a kind companion died with his face down facing the dirt covered in his own pool of blood. It is then learnt that Musab recited “Muhammad itu tiada lain hanyalah seorang Rasul, dan sebelumnya telah didahului oleh beberapa Rasul / Muhammad is just a prophet, whom before his were other prophets” so that he can ease himself should the prophet get injured or perhaps die in the battle. For he was not there to proclaim the safety of the Prophet himself before he dies. Yet even when he died, he’s in fear to see the prophet getting hurt..thats why his body was in such position.

At his funeral, the only thing left to cover his body was just a piece of cloth. A cloth which if taken up to cover his face would then show his feet, and when pulled to cover his feet, his face would be seen.

“During in Mecca, not one person that I see has the best cloths and finest combed hair instead of you (Musab bin Umair). Now your hair is all tangled up (kusut masai), only left a piece of cloth to cover (your body)” said the Prophet Muhammad saw as he went to the body of Musab bin Umair after the battle of Uhud.

How he left the wealth of this world for the wonders of akhirah (the hereafter).

What stood between him choosing either al-Haq or al-Batil? He could have chosen to life happily with his parents, showered with wealth and respect. But instead he chose islam. That spared him nothing of this world but would be promised the whole of jannah as a return and mardhotiLlah.

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ مَا لَكُمْ إِذَا قِيلَ لَكُمُ انفِرُواْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ اثَّاقَلْتُمْ إِلَى الأَرْضِ أَرَضِيتُم بِالْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا مِنَ الآخِرَةِ فَمَا مَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ

[Taubah 9:38] O you who believe! What (excuse) have you that when it is said to you: Go forth in Allah's way, you should incline heavily to earth; are you contented with this world's life instead of the hereafter? But the provision of this world's life compared with the hereafter is but little.

Musab has lead his life well to the claim himself as a true muslim. He gave his whole life for that matter. What have we done?

We treasure these great stories. To be meeting them would be such honor. And where else could we ever see them and the Prophet Muhammad saw other than to be alongside them in paradise!

To embrace islam is one thing. To appreciate it is another. To protect it is requires sacrifices.

Perutusan Eid Seorang Muslim

2008-09-30T09:52:00.000-07:00

Allahuakbar! Allahuakbar! Allahuakbar! waliLlahilham

Telah berlalu sudah sebuah bulan penuh keberkatan. Bulan ibadah. Bulan perjuangan. Sarat dengan teladan dan pengajaran kearah membina keperibadian muslim yang unggul.

Madrasah Ramadhan telahpun berlalu pergi.

Kini Syawal pula tiba diiringi takbir kemenangan! Takbir yang akan terus memacu semangat para pelaungnya untuk membina istiqamah dan iltizam dalam beribadah sehingga berjumpa dengan ramadhan yang akan datang. Ya, syawal dipenuhi dengan kegembiraan, namun syawal juga perlu kita jadikan bulan muhasabah.

Sejauh mana tarbiyah yang kita lalui dalam ‘sekolah’ ramadhan berjaya membentuk kualiti diri? Mampukah kita meneruskan kualiti ibadah di bulan ramadhan dalam bulan syawal? Jika syawal tidak, masakan bulan yang berbaki 11 lagi sehingga ramadhan akan dating mampu kita usahakan?

Mawardi pernah kongsikan, kata-kata seorang ulama’:
“Jadilah hamba Allah, jangan jadi hamba ramadhan!”

Teringat peristiwa besar kewafatan RasuluLlah saw. Tika mana Nabi saw. Pergi meninggalkan ummatnya, ada mereka yang menerimanya tidak kurang pula mereka yang terlupa, nabi Muhammad saw. Itu juga manusia. ”siapa kata Nabi telah wafat akan aku pancung dengan pedang ini!” teriak Umar ra. Waktu inilah Saidina Abu Bakr memainkan peranannya menyatukan kaum muslimin.

وَمَا مُحَمَّدٌ إِلاَّ رَسُولٌ قَدْ خَلَتْ مِن قَبْلِهِ الرُّسُلُ أَفَإِن مَّاتَ أَوْ قُتِلَ انقَلَبْتُمْ عَلَى أَعْقَابِكُمْ وَمَن يَنقَلِبْ عَلَىَ عَقِبَيْهِ فَلَن يَضُرَّ اللّهَ شَيْئاً وَسَيَجْزِي اللّهُ الشَّاكِرِينَ

Ali-Imran:144
Dan Muhammad hanyalah seorang Rasul; sebelumnya telah berlalu beberapa rasul. Apakah jika dia wafat atau dibunuh, kamu berbalik kebelakang (murtad)? Barangsiapa berbalik ke belakang, maka ia tidak akan merugikan Allah sedikitpun. Allah akan memberi balasan kepada orang yang bersyukur.

Menurut asbab turunya ayat ini asalnya ketika perang uhud apabila tersebarnya berita palsu menyatakan bahawa Nabi saw telah wafat. Ayat ini jugalah yang digunakan Abu Bakr ra. Untuk mententeramkan kaum muslimin tika kewafatan Nabi saw.

Apa kaitannya? Sedah semestinya apabila kita menyatakan tentang ibadah, sesungguhnya ramdhan telahpun berlalu. Dan barangsiapa yang menjadi hamba ramadhan, dia pasti sudah berasa lega sewaktu takbir raya kedengaran..tamat sudah tempoh ’membaikkan’ diri, atau ada juga yang berasa susah..kerana sudah tiada lagi bulan untuk ibadah, terpaksa tunggu tahun akan datang. Merugilah mereka, dan moga kita dijauhkan dari tergolong di kalangan mereka.

Ramadhan adalah madrasah. Sekolah. Tempat kita belajar untuk meningkatkan kualiti diri. Meningkatkan taqwa. Mengumpul sebanyak-banyak perbekalan hidup. Tempoh mengumpulkan momentum beribadah tika tamat ’sekolah’ nanti. Itulah masanya untuk kita lihat semula kehidupan lalu, dan juga membina harapan untuk kehidupan akan datang. Jika harapan itu tamat dengan terlaungnya takbir, tamat sudah masa depan yang dipenuhi keredhaanNya.

Musuh itu telah kembali. Sebelum ini kita hanya sekadar bertumbuk dengan sang hawa nafsu, mulai esok, bukan, sejak maghrib tadi, kita akan bertumbuh dengan pasangannya juga. Takut kita kalah dalam perjuangan kerana tidak berjaya menundukkan sang hawa nafsu tika ramadhan. Kini tiba pula bantuan..sang syaitan. Sudah cukupkah perbekalan kita tika ramadhan? Jika belum, ingatlah, kita masih mampu untuk mengumpulkan kekuatan itu diluar ramadhan. Jangan berputus harap denganNya.

إِنَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَالْمُسْلِمَاتِ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْقَانِتِينَ وَالْقَانِتَاتِ وَالصَّادِقِينَ وَالصَّادِقَاتِ وَالصَّابِرِينَ وَالصَّابِرَاتِ وَالْخَاشِعِينَ وَالْخَاشِعَاتِ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقِينَ وَالْمُتَصَدِّقَاتِ وَالصَّائِمِينَ وَالصَّائِمَاتِ وَالْحَافِظِينَ فُرُوجَهُمْ وَالْحَافِظَاتِ وَالذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ أَعَدَّ اللَّهُ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةً وَأَجْراً عَظِيماً

Al-Ahzab: 35
Sesungguhnya laki-laki dan perempuan yang muslim, laki-laki dan perempuan yang mu'min, laki-laki dan perempuan yang tetap dalam ketaatannya, laki-laki dan perempuan yang benar, laki-laki dan perempuan yang sabar, laki-laki dan perempuan yang khusyu', laki-laki dan perempuan yang bersedekah, laki-laki dan perempuan yang berpuasa, laki-laki dan perempuan yang memelihara kehormatannya, laki-laki dan perempuan yang banyak menyebut (nama) Allah, Allah telah menyediakan untuk mereka ampunan dan pahala yang besar.

Semoga Allah menerima segala amal baik kita tika ramadhan dan terus mengekalkan kita dalam keredhaanNya. Moga Allah jumpakan kita lagi dengan ramadhan akan datang insyaAllah.

Mencari Mereka Yang Mampu

2008-09-27T04:08:00.000-07:00

Dalam pergolakkan masyarakat tercari-cari identiti sendiri, terpinga-pinga membina keperibadian sedangkan mereka hanya meniru barat, berbangga dengan pencapaian hebat sedangkan ia tiada nilai dan sumbangan buat masyarakat lain yang menderita..pun begitu, masih ada mereka yang sudah punya identiti, berkeperibadian unggul, terasing dari kejahilan yang diwar-warkan orang ramai.

Merekalah para rijal yang diharapkan mampu untuk memimpin. Kehadapan dalam menjayakan agenda membangkitkan semula kegemilangan islam. Tegas dalam pandangan yang disandarkan hanya pada syarak. Bercita-cita memanggil untuk bersama daripada duduk diam menanti. Siangnya singa, malamnya si lemah yang mengharapkan ampunanNya.

Islam dulu dan kini, didokong sang rijal.

sebuah jamaah tidak mampu berdiri selagi mana agenda membina pelapis tak mampu diselesaikan. Ya betul, kita jamaah hendaklah ‘all rounded’. Pilihan Raya kita kena masuk, program kemasyarakatan kita kena buat, projek-projek mega yang membentuk pandangan baik terhadap islam kita kena laksanakan, ‘we have to do all things necessary to bring islam back up high!’ namun, dimana peranan strategi? Siapa yang diharapkan mendokong perancangan/strategi? Pokok yang akarnya sedikit, sudah pasti tumbang/tercabut ditiup angin.

Kalau kita perhatikan pokok taugeh, teringat projek sains masa sekolah rendah dulu..benda yang pertama tumbuh selepas disemai adalah akar. Kerana akar yang akan menyokong batang taugeh. Kemudian baru tumbuh daun dia untuk proses fotosintesis yang membolehkan taugeh tadi tumbuh gemuk dan tinggi. Begitulah analogi yang boleh kita gunakan dalam meniti jalan dakwah. “Da’a ilallah” menyeru kepada Allah. Siapa yang kita serukan? Dan adakah cukup sekadar memanggil tanpa membelai, tanpa kasih, tanpa harapan suatu hari nanti sang mad’u pula mampu ‘memanggil’? menggantikan kita, meneruskan perjuangan yang terhenti..

Usrah bukan satu modal kebaikan mempromosikan jamaah/persatuan tanpa diniatkan menjadi medan pengkaderan para rijal. Jika ini berlaku, cukuplah usrah berjalan sebagai satu program yang bermula dengan al-Fatihah dan diakhiri dengan al-Asr. Satu bentuk pembaziran masa dan tenaga atas kaca mata ’kita melakukan kebaikan’. Sedangkan usrah itu matlamatnya melahirkan pewaris, mengembang-biakkan pendokong, sesi penyelarasan fikrah agar tamat usrah; keluarnya para jundullah berjuang dimedan masyarakat. Untuk itu, para dai’e bukanlah calang-calang orang. Pengalaman berusrah tidak meletakkan dia pada status layak menjadi naqib. Namun perasaan sedar memikul tanggungjawab menjadikan dia boleh diamanahkan.

Lihat sahaja pada seerah.

Sahabat Mus’ab bin Umair. Sahabat yang dihantar RasuluLlah ke yathrib untuk berdakwah. Dia tidak bersama RasuluLlah dalam waktu yang lama, namun dihantar memikul tanggungjawab mengislamkan masyarakat yathrib yang akhirnya menjadi kota islam pertama, Madinah. Dimana hendak kita cari sang Mus’ab?

Sahabat Abu Dzar al Ghifari. Dibelasah kerana terang-terangan berdakwah dihadapan kaabah, lalu di suruh oleh RasuluLlah untuk pulang dan berdakwah kepada penduduk kampungnya. Akhirnya, seluruh penduduk kampungnya memeluk islam. Bagaimana hendak kita bina sang Abu Dzar?

Pengajaran ghuzwatul Badr al-Qubra. rasuluLlah memawa bersama 313/314 golongan muhajir dan ansar keluar manahan rombongan dagang Abu Sufian. Namun, skuad road block yang digerakkan terpaksa berhadapan dengan 1000 tentera quraisy lengkap bersenjata. Dikisahkan, rasuluLlah bertanya kepada sahabat2 sudikah mereka turut bersama memerangi golongan quraisy. Lalu bangkit Miqdad bin Amr seorang muhajir menyahut seruan rasuluLlah. Namum rasuluLlah menanyakan lagi beberapa kali, sehinggalah Saad bin Muadz bangkit dan menjawab pertanyaan tersebut. Seorang ansar. rasuluLlah berpuas hati. Kenapa? Kerana respons yang diharapkan ialah dari golongan ansar, melihat sejauh mana mereka faham tentang pengorbanan yang menjadi pakej dan hadiah2 sampingan sebagai seorang muslim. Kita? Kita mahu nanti muka-muka baru yang menyahut seruan jihad, muka-muka baru yang menggerakkan ummah, muka-muka baru yang tampil lebih hadapan dari mereka yang sudah lama dalam tarbiyah. Denagn itu barulah matlamat tarbiyah tercapai. Membina manusia tunduk kepada Allah dan membina pelapis perjuangan. Bila pula sang Saad mahu bangit menyahut seruan?

Wahai para pemuda, bangkitlah menjadi sang rijal.

Hari ini dunia dipenuhi pemuda-pemuda. Hebat. Mereka hebat. Namun bukan mereka yang mampu memimpin ummah. Malahan mereka menjadi indicator kepada kemunduran ummah, antara pra-syarat2 kejatuhan bangsa dan empire. Pemuda merupakan masa depan negara dan dunia kerana mereka bakal memimpin tapi for better or for worst is not yet answered. Just based on luck 100%. Kalau masyarakat bernasib baik, dapatlah kita kepimpinan yang baik, namun jika tidak, dapatlah kita kepimpinan yang dari dulu telah pun diprogramkan untuk merosakkan masyarakat dalam sedar atau pun tidak.

Lain pula dengan rijal. Mereka sangat sedikit hari ini. Golongan yang bakal pupus jika ‘program kemandirian spesis’nya tidak mendapat perhatian. Mereka juga pemimpin masa depan, mereka juga hebat. But surely for the better of the future. Tidak boleh kita nafikan, para rijal hanya memimpin ummah kearah yang lebih baik. Itu satu jaminan yang pasti.

Kenapa diserukan untuk bangkit? Kerana setiap pemuda itu ada kualitinya untuk menjadi rijal. Tersemai jauh dalam diri namun ramai yang menafikan kehendak hati yang menginginkan a bigger purpose in life dari sekadar duduk di rumah jadi anak emak atau keluar menunggang motor mencari cabaran di jalanan atau jadi insan baik penuh dengan sikap moral yang tinggi. Untuk kita membangkitkan conscious ini, hati2 para pemuda ini perlu diketuk. Kita tidak mahukan pemuda yang memimpin atas dasar ‘keperluan memimpin’, namun kita mahukan pemuda yang tergerak oleh hatinya untuk memimpin atas dasar kesedaran ia adalah tanggungjawabnya terhadap ummah.

Hati adalah kunci kepada kebangkitan ini.

Dari Abu Hurairah r.a. dari Nabi s.a.w. sabdanya:
“Para manusia ini adalah bagaikan benda logam,sebagaimana juga logam emas dan perak. Orang - orang pilihan di antara mereka di zaman Jahiliyah adalah orang - orang pilihan pula di zaman Islam, jikalau mereka diberikan kefahaman. Ruh-ruh itu adalah sekumpulan tentera yang berlain-lainan, maka mana yang dikenal dari golongan ruh-ruh tadi tentulah dapat menjadi rukun damai, sedang mana yang tidak dikenalinya dari golongan ruh-ruh itu tentulah berselisihan - maksudnya ruh baik berkumpulnya ialah dengan ruh baik, sedang yang buruk dengan yang buruk." (Riwayat Muslim).

huraian hadith boleh lihat di sini.

Apakah komponen utama kepada kefahaman? Tidak cukup dengan akal memikirkan, tapi hati juga kena tunduk membukakan peluang untuk akal memahami. Pernah dengar ’mental block’? sebenarnya istilah ini tiada kena mengena dengan akal, kerana yang menghalang diri dari melakukan sesuatu adalah hati. Begitu juga dengan kisahnya para pembesar quraisy, mereka menerima dakwh rasuluLlah, namun hati tidak mahu tunduk, lantas mereka terus hidup dalam kekufuran dan akhirnya ada setengah dikalangan mereka mati dalam keadaan kufur kepada Allah.

Hati ini mampu kita bentuk. Tapi bukan dengan teori. Teori untuk akal. Hati perlu dibentuk dengan perasaan kerana itulah hati. Kita tidak mampu membina rijal2 hebat sebagaimana sahabat Salman Al-Farisi atau Suhaib Ar-Rumi jika hati mereka tidak bersama kita. Begitulah realiti dakwah dan tarbiyah. Targetnya hati agar dengan terikatnya hati, empunya hati mampu untuk meneruskan agenda sang du’at yang dulu pernah membentuk hatinya. Pernah kita fikirkan bagaimana rasuluLlah membentuk para sahabat? Lihat sahaja intipati surah-surah makiyah. Tiada teori, tiada puasa, tiada zakat dan sebagainya. Intipati lebih diberatkan dengan urusan akhirat. Pembinaan hati agar takut dengan azab dan gembira dengan nikamt syurga. Menjadikan hati itu merindui untuk bertemu dengan Allah.

Hari ini, proses ini perlu berulang. Ikatkan hati-hati para pemuda ini untuk merasakan mereka ini sebuah ummah yang mana mereka adalah sebahagian daripadanya. Agenda mereka besar dan jauh.

Wahai pemuda! Bukalah pintu hatimu untuk membangkitkan semangat rijal yang tersembunyi dalam diri!

Aku mencari mereka yang mampu membimbing ummah ini!

Du’at; sebuah perisian software!?

2008-09-22T15:45:00.000-07:00

Bagaimana sebuah perisian software berfungsi? Kita ambil yang mudah, contohnya sebuah calculator: jika kita letakkan inputnya 2 + 3 =, sudah semestinya jawapan yang tersiar di skrin ialah 5. ambil contoh lain pula, jika kita pergi mengisi minyak sebanyak RM50, sudah semestinya liter yang memasuki tangki kereta kita adalah bersamaan dengan nilai RM50. hal ini pasti terjadi. Kerana kedua-dua mesin (kalkulator dan mesin pam minyak) ini telah pun di ‘program’kan untuk berbuat demikian.

Hasilnya, tiada ruang untuk kesilapan. No room for error kata orang. Kesilapan hanya berlaku jika adanya permasalahan dalam sistem program, ataupun kerosakkan pada alatan yang menjadikan mesin tersebut mampu berfungsi tanpa silap.

Untuk apa perisian program ini diciptakan begitu? Agar hasilnya menepati apa yang ’pencipta’nya mahukan, dan dalam isu ini, sang manusia. Calculation perlu dilakukan dengan tepat agar tiada masalah yang berlaku hasil daripada jawapan yang salah umpamanya dalam persoalan kejuruteraan. Kesilapan mengira tidak boleh dimaafkan. Mereka yang meniagakan minyak sudah pasti tidak mahu rugi dengan memberikan minyak yang lebih daripada yang pembeli bayar. Jika tidak, pasti rugi..tak banyak, sikit pun tidak boleh kerana ia sebuah perniagaan yang besar~

Namun, dalam penciptaan manusia, sehebat-hebat penciptaan, Allah menjadikan kita mampu untuk melakukan kesilapan. Bukan sedikit ruang kemampuan sang manusia untuk silap, malahan boleh seumur hidup dipenuhi dengan ‘error’ jika ia bertindak memilih untuk begitu. Dalam erti kata lain; mem’program’kan diri sendiri untuk melakukan kesilapan.

Mesin-mesin yang digerakkan sistem perisian software yang 0.000001% kemungkinan melakukan kesilapan juga ada kelemahannya, ia juga mampu melakukan 100% kesilapan. Ini boleh berlaku jika software yang di’install’ tidak menepati output yang diinginkan. Contoh; mesin vending machine (air tin etc) diprogramkan dengan sistem bayaran tiket kereta, kemungkinan pembeli hanya perlu membayar 50sen sahaja untuk mendapatkan setin minuman (minimum bayaran tiket parking adalah 50sen/jam bagi kawasan sekitar KL..tau sket2 sebab pernah tak beli tiket, kereta kena pulun dek tow truck).

Begitu jugalah para du’at. Jika perisian yang di’install’ itu tidak menepati objektif akhir tarbiyah, kita akan lihat mesin-mesin yang berfungsi, namun dengan perisian yang salah.

Menjadi perhatian kita apabila ramai dikalangan para du’at hari ini telah di’program’kan untuk menjadikan gerak kerja islami itu hanya sebagai satu ’kemestian’ untuk mewujudkan biah soleh.

Usrah itu sekadar halaqah, kerana tanpanya tiada pertemuan menuntut ilmu islami.
Komitmen dalam persatuan islam itu sekadar memenuhi tuntutan berbakti kepada islam.
Menjadi baik itu sekadar mempamerkan islam itu unsurnya baik-baik.

Sebab yang dihasilkan hanyalah;
1. proses penurunan ilmu tanpa mengharapkan output daripada penerima ilmu itu sendiri.
2. gerakkan islam mantap namun hanya atas dasar program-program yang dijana, bukan manusia-manusia yang dibina.
3. syok sendiri, sendiri baik..orang lain?

Du’at tidak boleh dibina atas software-software yang sekali install sahaja sudah memadai. Lebih-lebih lagi apabila software itu mengekang du’at untuk mengambil tindakan di luar dari kebiasaan. Sebuah perisian akan hanya akan melakukan tugas yang disuruh. Tugas yang berkaitan dengan dirinya sahaja.

Cuba kita renungkan bagaimana sahabat Mus’ab bin Umair boleh menjadi seorang daie yang hebat? Dihantar ke yathrib walaupun dengan tarbiyah yang sedikit daripada RasuluLlah..ilmu wahyu belumpun habis. Mungkin sekadar ayat2 juz ’amma. Namun pulang dengan ribuan muslimin yang meraikan kedatangan rasuluLlah dan Abu Bakr.

Mus’ab tidak di install dengan program. He was built. Dia dibina.

Apa bezanya install dan bina?

Install: accept it as it is. Put it in your head and keep it there.
Bina: acceptance that will spark doings. Put it in our heart and share it.

Lantas kita melihat kegemilangan yang diterajui ummah ini, bukan kerana mereka di’install’ dengan program untuk ‘menjadi ummah terbaik’, namun mereka dibina untuk bergerak menjadi ummah terbaik.

Seharusnya kita faham, manusia ada akal dan hati. Dengan akal dan hati ia menetukan hala tuju hidup. Barangkali dengan hati merasa tidak puas kerana adanya peluang melakukan yang lebih baik. Akal pula bercongak-congak memikirkan penyelesaian agar apa yang buruk tidak berulang, yang baik pula boleh dikecapi kembali. Itulah komponen yang tiada pada mesin-mesin yang diprogramkan. Ciptaan kita mungkin hebat, namun tidak mampu untuk menjana pandangan untuk masa hadapan, tidak mampu untuk berperasaan akan yang selain dari diri sendiri. subhanaLlah, hebat Sang Pencipta.

Du’at juga begitu. Pasti ada ruang-ruang error yang boleh berlaku. Namun, bagi du’at yang memikirkan masa hadapan ummah, berpegang dengan prinsip ’menginfakkan diri; harta dan jiwa; masa dan pemikiran’..sudah pasti margin-margin error ini perlu kita kurangkan. Sebolehnya kita tiadakan. Itu yang ideal. Dan ia hanya mampu dirasai apabila kita dibina dan juga membina.

Kenapa? Kerana beban dakwah ini berat. Takungannya terlalu besar. Ruang lingkupnya luas. Tiada batasan waktu yang mengekang sang da’ie untuk terus memerah tenaga. Tiada working hours dan tiada pula coffee’ break. Mesin pasti rosak bekerja lebih masa, fatigue kata istilah engineering. Namun du’at tidak boleh mengenal kata ’penat’. Kerana buat tidak di’install’ sebagaimana mesin-mesin lain, du’at dibina untuk bekerja. Sentiasa akan menjumpai jalan untuk bergerak dalam medan-medan yang pelbagai.

Penulisan ini untuk mengetuk hati sendiri, adakah aku meng’install’kan program kedalam para madu’ ku, atau aku membina mereka untuk bergerak?

“Wahai orang-orang yang beriman, sahut dan sambutlah seruan Allah dan seruan RasulNya apabila Dia menyeru kamu kepada perkara-perkara yang menjadikan kamu hidup sempurna…” (al-Anfal:24)

Wahai ikhwan dan akhawat

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh, wa ba’d

Moga-moga setiap tahun kamu dilimpahi kebaikan. Kini kamu dipayungi bulan mulia lagi berkat. Di dalamnya kebaikan berantai-rantai tiada putus, hembusan rahmat bertali arus, limpahan kasih al-Rahman mengalir laksana arus. Sesungguhnya Ramadan benar-benar bulan rahmah, maghfirah dan bebas dari belanggu api neraka. ”(Masa yang diwajibkan kamu berpuasa itu ialah) bulan Ramadan yang padanya diturunkan Al-Quran, menjadi petunjuk bagi sekalian manusia dan menjadi keterangan-keterangan yang menjelaskan petunjuk dan (menjelaskan) perbezaan antara yang benar dengan yang salah...” (al-Baqarah:185)

Ketahuilah sesungguhnya perjalanan yang panjang itu memerlukan bekalan. “….dan hendaklah kamu membawa bekal dengan cukupnya kerana sesungguhnya sebaik-baik bekal itu ialah takwa dan bertakwalah kepadaKu wahai orang-orang yang berakal (yang dapat memikir dan memahaminya)”. (al-Baqarah:197)

Hendaklah kamu jadikan Ramadan ini masa untuk menyiapkan bekal setahun. Jadikan siam (puasa), qiam, wirid, i’tikaf, sedekah dan solat sebagai bekalan dalam perjalanan mengadap Tuhan. Daripada bekalan itu kita bisa berdiri, membangun cita-cita yang tinggi, memperkuat keazaman yang murni. Saat kita beramal di bulan yang mulia, hati bertaut dengan Kekasihnya, tidak lucut ikatannya, tidak putus pengharapannya, sedang jiwa mencapai keberuntungan berjual beli dengan Allah Yang Maha Esa. ”Dan di antara manusia ada yang mengorbankan dirinya kerana mencari keredaan Allah semata-mata dan Allah pula Amat belas-kasihan akan hamba-hambaNya.” (al-Baqarah:207)

Jadikanlah Ramadan ini titik berlepas ke arah mencapai tujuan. Jadikan Islam sebagai sebuah daulah yang bergerak di dalam jiwa-jiwa manusia dan melekat di dalamnya. aqidah dan iradah, amal dan ibadah, ilmu dan kepimpinan, keagungan dan ketuanan. Biarlah Islam menjadi aqidah yang menggerakkan iradah (kemahuan), ibadah yang melahirkan amal, ilmu yang melayakkan memimpin, mendapat penghurmatan dan ketuanan. Semuanya terhasil dan tercerna mengikut acuan rabbani yang amat luas. Hendaklah semua hati-hati menjadikan matlamat puasa mereka seperti yang telah digariskan di dalam firman Allah yang bermaksud: ”.... supaya kamu bertakwa”. (al-Baqarah:183)

Beramallah dengan bersungguh-sungguh supaya bulan ini tidak pergi kecuali dalam keadaan kamu telah memperlihatkan kepada Allah keyakinan kamu kepada janjiNya, beriltizam dengan perintahNya, berjalan mengikut manhajNya, “Syaitan itu menjanjikan (menakut-nakutkan) kamu dengan kemiskinan dan kepapaan (jika kamu bersedekah atau menderma) dan dia menyuruh kamu melakukan perbuatan yang keji (bersifat bakhil kedekut); sedang Allah menjanjikan kamu (dengan) keampunan daripadaNya serta kelebihan kurniaNya dan (ingatlah), Allah Maha Luas limpah rahmatNya, lagi sentiasa Meliputi PengetahuanNya.” (al-Baqarah268)

Pacakkan bendera yang bersesuaian bagi setiap sepuluh hari bulan Ramadan. Sepuluh yang pertama haraplah rahmat dengan berkasih sayang dan menguhubung silatul rahim. Sepuluh kedua harapkan keampunan dengan memohon ampun dan saling bermaafan agar terlerai segala dosa dan kesilapan lalu. Dan kemudian sepuluh terakhir haraplah kebebasan dari segala belenggu di dunia dan akhirat. “Di antara orang-orang yang beriman itu, ada yang bersikap benar menunaikan apa yang telah dijanjikannya kepada Allah (untuk berjuang membela Islam); maka di antara mereka ada yang telah selesai menjalankan janjinya itu (lalu gugur syahid), dan di antaranya ada yang menunggu giliran dan mereka pula tidak mengubah (apa yang mereka janjikan itu) sedikitpun.” (al-Ahzab:23)

Sahutlah seruan untuk hidup pada bulan Ramadan ini supaya sepanjang tahun akan datang nanti terus mekar dan subur berpanjangan. ”Wahai kaum kami! Sahutlah (seruan) Rasul (Nabi Muhammad) yang mengajak ke jalan Allah, serta berimanlah kamu kepadanya, supaya Allah mengampunkan sebahagian dari dosa-dosa kamu dan menyelamatkan kamu dari azab seksa yang tidak terperi sakitnya.” (al-Ahqaf:31)

Awas dan waspada Jangan sampai Ramadan kali ini terlucut dari genggaman kamu! Jika itu berlaku, rugilah kamu, kerugian yang tidak mungkin ditampung dengan apa usaha sekalipun. ”Dan sesiapa tidak menyahut (seruan) Rasul yang mengajaknya ke jalan Allah, maka dia tidak akan dapat melepaskan diri (dari balasan azab walau ke mana sahaja dia melarikan diri) di bumi dan dia tidak akan beroleh sesiapapun yang lain dari Allah sebagai pelindung-pelindung yang membelanya; mereka (yang demikian sifatnya) adalah dalam kesesatan yang nyata.” (al-Ahqaf:32) “Kepada pentadbiran Allah jualah terpulang segala urusan, sebelum berlakunya dan sesudah berlakunya dan pada ketika berlakunya (kemenangan Rom) itu, orang-orang yang beriman akan bergembira” (al-Rum:4)

18th of ramadhan..12 days left to be in the month of tranquility. have i made full use of it?

Ghulamu Dakwah - A Maghrib Tazkeerah Session

2008-09-03T07:29:00.000-07:00

ramadhan 3rd, 1429

after breaking our saum, gg and me headed upstairs to perform our maghrib prayer with the rest of the jamaah. was quite tough to be stuffing our foods for a short 20 minutes, then perform our solat! hoh hoh hoh~i need space to breath! no wonder why its best that we break our saums with a simple tamar/date then carry out our solat..after then only we 'melantak' accordingly.

well, i'll try to put this to practice. no point stressing this out if i have no intention of practicing it.

nyw, after maghrib prayers, gg and me decided to join in with saiful, wan hazim, azri and fikri..whom were busy discussing something and saiful was kinda ready to start a tadarus session.

we recited surah al-Buruj - surah ke-85.

when bro gg referred to the meanings, we came to the part of 'ashabul ukhdud'..we had a story telling session on that. so as promised, here's the full version of the hadith (in bahasa):

***

Hadith mengenai Ahli Sihir, Rahib dan Ghulam (budak)

Mahmud bin Ghailan dan Abdun bin Hamid menceritakan kepada kami dengan cerita yang mernpunyai makna yang sama, kedua-duanya berkata; Abdur Razak menceritakan kepada kami daripada Ma’mar daripada Shabit al-Banaani daripada Abdur Rahman bin Abu Laila daripada Suhaib bahawa beliau berkata;

“Rasulullah (s.a.w) apabila bersembahyang Asar, baginda menggerakkan dua bibirnya seolah-olah baginda bercakap. Dikatakan kepada baginda; “Kamu wahai Rasulullah, apabila kamu bersembahyang Asar, karnu menggerakkan dua bibirmu seolah-olah kamu bercakap. Maka baginda bersabda: “Salah seorang daripada para nabi merasa ajaib dengan umatnya lalu dia berkata; “Siapakah yang akan mengendalikan urusan mereka?! Maka Allah mewahyukan kepadanya supaya memberikan mereka pilihan sama ada membunuh diri atau dikuasai oleh musuh. Mereka pun memilih membunuh din. Maka kematian berleluasa di kalangan mereka. Pada suatu hari berlaku tujuh puluh ribu kematian.”

Suhaib berkata; “Apabila Rasulullah menyebut hadis ini, baginda akan menceritakan hadis yang lain.”Baginda (s.a.w) bersabda; Terdapat seorang raja di kalangan raja-raja yang rnempunyai seorang tukang nujum’ yang berkhidmat kepadanya, Tukang nujum [1] tersebut berkata; “Carilah untukku seorang ghulam yang mudah memahami atau dia berkata; yang cerdik dan cepat faham supaya aku dapat rnengajarnya ilmu aku mi, Sesungguhnya aku bimbang aku akan mati dan ilmu ini tiada yang mewarisinya serta tiada seorang pun di kalangan kamu yang mengetahuinya.”

Baginda bersabda lagi; “Mereka pun mencarinya berdasarkan kepada ciri-ciri yang disebutkan dan ghulam yang dijumpai diperintahkan supaya menemui tukang nujum tersebut dan sentiasa mendatanginya. Maka ghulam tersebut pun berulang-alik menemuinya. Di perjalanan, terdapat seorang rahib yang beribadat di gerejanya. Ma’mar (salah seorang perawi hadis ini) berkata; “Mereka yang berada di dalam gereja ketika itu adalah golongan muslimin.”

Baginda bersabda lagi; “Ini menjadikan ghulam sentiasa bertanyakan rahib tersebut setiap kali dia melaluinya. Keadaan tersebut berterusan sehinggalah rahib menceritakan kepadanya dan berkata; “Sesungguhnya aku menyembah Allah.”

Baginda bersabda lagi; “Ini menjadikan ghulam berhenti untuk berjumpa rahib dan lewat menemui tukang nujum. Tukang nujum pun menceritakan kepada keluarga ghulam dengan mengatakan; “Dia lewat datang menemuiku.” Ghulam menceritakan perkara ini kepada rahib lalu dia menjawab; ‘Apabila kamu ditanya oleh tukang nujum; Di mana kamu sebelum ini?. Jawablah; Bersama-sama keluargaku. Apabila keluargamu bertanya di mana kamu sebelum ini?, beritahulah mereka bahawa kamu bersama-sama dengan tukang nujum.

Baginda bersabda lagi; “Keadaan tersebut berterusan sehinggalah pada suatu hari dia melalui sekumpulan ramai manusia yang tertahan disebabkan seekor binatang. Sebahagian mereka mengatakan bahawa binatang tersebut adalah singa.” Sabda baginda; “Maka ghulam pun mengambil seketul batu lalu berdoa; “Ya Allah, sekiranya apa yang diperkatakan oleh rahib adalah benar, maka aku pinta daripada-Mu untuk membunuh binatang mi.” Dia pun melontarnya, maka binatang tersebut mati dan orang ramai tertanya-tanya; Siapakah yang membunuh binatang ini?

Sebahagian mereka menjawab; “Ghulam”. Maka manusia menjadi takut. Mereka berkata; “Sesungguhnya ghulam ini telah mengetahui suatu ilmu yang tidak diketahui oleh sesiapa pun.”
Baginda menambah lagi; ‘Peristiwa ini diketahui oleh seorang buta, lalu beliau berkata kepada ghulam; Sekiranya kamu dapat mengembalikan penglihatanku, kamu akan mendapat sekian-sekian. Ghulam menjawab; “Aku tidak memerlukan semua itu daripada kamu, tetapi apakah pandangan kamu sekiranya penglihatanmu dikernbalikan kepadamu. Apakah kamu akan beriman kepada orang yang mengembalikannya?”. Beliau menjawab; “Ya.” Maka ghulam pun berdoa kepada Allah, lalu Allah mengembalikan penglihatannya. Dengan itu si buta beriman. Keimanan mereka diketahui oleh raja dan mereka dipanggil mengadap lalu raja berkata; “Aku akan membunuh kamu semua dengan cara yang berbeza-beza.”

Maka dibawa rahib dan si buta, lalu diletakkan gergaji di tengah-tengah kepala salah seorang daripada mereka, kemudian dia dibunuh. Seorang lagi dibunuh dengan cara yang lain. Selepas itu, arahan ditujukan kepada ghulam; “Bawa dia ke bukit sekian-sekian. Campaklah dia dari puncaknya.” Mereka pun mebawa ghulam menuju bukit tersebut. Apabila mereka sampat ke tempat tuju, mereka semua jatuh daripada bukit kecuali ghulam. Kemudian dia pulang menemui raja.

Selepas itu, raja memerintahkan supaya dia dibawa ke laut dan dicampakkan ke dalamnya. Maka dia dibawa ke laut, lalu Allah menenggelamkan mereka yang bersamanya dan menyelamatkannya. Selepas itu ghulam berkata kepada raja; “Kamu tidak akan dapat rnembunuh aku sehinggalah kamu menyalib dan memanahku. Kamu hendaklah berkata ketika memanahku; “Dengan nama Allah, Tuhan ghulam ini.”

Baginda (s.a.w) menyambung lagi; “Maka raja pun memerintahkan supaya dilakukan apa yang dicadangkan lalu ghulam disalib. Kemudian raja memanahnya sambil berkata; “Demi Allah, Tuhan ghulam ini.” Sabda baginda lagi; “Lalu ghulam meletakkan jarinya pada bahagian di antara mata dan telinganya. Selepas itu, dia pun meninggal. Dengan itu, orang ramai pun berkata; “Sesungguhnya ghulam ini mengetahui suatu ilmu yang tiada sesiapa pun yang mengajarnya. Dengan itu kami beriman dengan Tuhan ghulam ini.”

Baginda bersabda lagi; “Dikatakan kepada raja; “Apakah tuanku merasa resah gelisah ketika tiga orang tidak mengikut tuanku. Sesungguhnya alam seluruhnya telah menentang tuanku.” Baginda meneruskan cerita; “Maka parit pun digali. Kemudian dikumpulkan kayu api di dalamnya lalu dinyalakan. Selepas itu orang ramai pun dikumpulkan, lalu raja berkata; “Sesiapa yang kembali kepada agama asalnya, kami akan selamatkan dia. Sesiapa yang enggan, kami akan campakkan dia ke dalarn api ini.” Kemudian mereka pun dicampakkan ke dalam parit tersebut.

Baginda bersabda; “Allah telah berfirman “Telah dibinasakan orang-orang yang membuat parit. (Pari) api yang dipenuhi bahan bakaran. (Mereka dilaknat) ketika mereka duduk di kelilingnya. Dan mereka menyaksikan apa yang mereka lakukan terhadap orang-orang yang beriman. Dan mereka tidak menyiksa orang-orang mukmin melainkan kerana mereka beriman kepada Allah Yang Maha Perkasa lagi Maha Terpuji.”

Sabda baginda lagi; “Mengenai ghulam, dia telah dikebumikan.” Disebut bahawa pada zaman pemerintahan Umar bin al-Khattab, mayatnya dijumpai dan didapati jarinya masih berada pada bahagian di antara mata dan telinganya sebagaimana ketika dia dikebumikan.
Abu Isa berkata; “Hadis ini adalah hadis hasan gharib.”

report-PICNIC USRAH BROTHERS UNITEN + MIAT 2008

US - without izzudin and ridhwan..

31 August 2008

Picnic Usrah Brothers UNITEN ke Sg Pisang

Alhamdulillah, been given the opportunity to organize an outing session with the joint usrah groups of UNITEN’s june 2008 intake. All 24 of us including izzudin from UTP and Ali with his usrah from MIAT. Chronologically, our event went as the following:

7.30am
Supposedly we were to gather at kelompok amanah’s office but end up meeting at 8.00am. Syafiq came early with Abdulrahman..while my fellow usrah brothers; ikram, jaffreen and ridhwan was already there when azzizi and me came out of our house. 30 minutes later some others came as well as ali with his packed up wira of 4 MIAT students. Before we headed off, I gave a little intro of our trip and a little task of memorizing the al-Fatihah with its meanings while in the car which was included in a little ‘personal ramadhan kit’, initated by kak MJ. Alhamdulillah, many managed to finish the task where the surah insyaAllah will be discussed in the coming usrah session.

8.45am
We departed for Sg. Pisang and planned to stop on the way at Giant (tmn melawati) to pick up azrie and our nasi lemaks..the MRR2 was unusually not crowded with cars thus only took us around 30minutes to reach Giant and pick up azrie who made us wait another 15minutes since he didn’t expected us to reach there that early.

10.00am
Reached Sg. Pisang. Had a little briefing about our trekking into sg. Pisang plus some stretching conducted by azrie, our football champ! The walk along the river took us around 45minutes..had our group photo taken at the first waterfall and continued our climb along the cliff and dropped our supplies at the second faterfall. There we played ‘mummy pasir’..still needs more improvements in the module~

Anyway, brothers were divided into 5 groups. Each group had to come out with a volunteer to become the mummy. As fast as possible, each group had to cover the mummy’s face, neck and arms with sand and leaves. Once done, the group members will have to guide the mummy to the river and clean it self.
Moral gained:

the mummy is like our hearts, it will from time to time be dirtied by sins
since only the face, neck and arms are covered (not all the body), it shows that even with small sins we should repent and seek his forgiveness as soon as possible
friends are supposed to guide us into ‘cleaning’ ourselves. It shows how important having good friends are
how easy it is to seek His forgiveness..with only washing the dirt off. Allah is only a prayer away, it’s not that hard to seek His guidance and forgiveness, and He surely will grant it!

After the games, we build our ‘stove’ and started BBQing our Carrefour marinated chickens and hot dogs~took us till 1.30pm to finish cooking. While some where busy cooking, others took the advantage diving into the rivers. Sg. Pisang Rocks! Alhamdulillah, the guys took turns dipping in and cooking..without having given specific tasks.

1.30pm
We all prayed dzuhur together on the bare soil. It was a first for most of them, having to pray with their wet cloths and natural ‘sajadah’. After our prayer, we had a little share on the values we could relate to life from the experience of trekking trough sg. Pisang till the ‘mummy pasir’ we palyed.
Life values:

life has only 1 objective..to reach jannah. We will face obstacles in our journey, but to reach the end determines on how fit mentally, physically and spiritually we are. What path we took. Either we gave up or not
follow good examples and guidance. Others won’t reach the destination with out the guider..Life is never about achievements, but its about moving forward. And to move forward we need guidance to follow so that the path we take is promised good rewards..in life, to be rewarded with jannah. these guidance we talk about is al-Quran and as-Sunnah!
this life on earth is temporary. It’s filled with wonders but for those who seek further, they’ll be rewarded with ‘more kilometers’ of wonders in heaven. If we stopped at the first waterfall, and didn’t climb the cliff which was kind off impossible and dangerous to climb, we would not have met the second waterfall. Which was a diving heaven!

2.00pm
EAT! (entahlah..rase macam penting jerk highlight event nih..hahaha)

3.00pm
Headed back to the cars through the highway.

3.15pm
Reached the cars and had our closing ceremony. We ended it with a big shoulder to shoulder hug of tasbih kifarah and al-Asr.

May our journey toughen us to become good muslims and enhance our opportunity to help and benefit the ummah..and revive ISLAM back!

HAPPY RAMDHAN KAREEM MY BROTHERS

Straighten Our Saff and Close The Gaps Between Us

2008-08-25T09:28:00.000-07:00

The Prophet Muhammad pbuh reminded:
“Perform your solat as you see me perform mine.”
(HR Bukhari)

Straightening the saff during prayers is a sunnah from the prophet Muhammad pbuh. (Never begins a sentence with ‘and’) As the above hadith has stated, we are urged to perform our prayers the way the Prophet did which we are lacking in especially in how we form our saffs. Consider this analogy, a driver can possibly drive his car even though without properly adjusting his seat, rear mirror and probably turning on his lights at night. There’s a chance he can reach his destination safely without any problems what so ever. He may not even get caught by the police, honked by other concerned road users or tragically get involved in a car accident. Same goes with the prayers in congregation (jamaah prayers), it’s not anyone to decide whether one prayer is accepted by Allah, the jamaah prayer may as well be accepted but would it be the same as when they are performed according to the guidance laid out? The ways shown by the Prophet through his hadiths and the examples shown by his early followers.

Lets share how we could improve this:

1. The role of the imam.

It was said that the Prophet Muhammad pbuh would ensure that the makmum has straightened their saffs before he starts the solat.

Anas bin Malik said,
after the iqamah for solat, Rasulullah would face us with his face and say:
“Straighten your rows and stand closer together, for I see you from behind my back.”
(HR Bukhari)

In normal practice our imams would just say “straighten you saffs”, “straighten your saffs” without even turning back and checking on his makmums and also not to forget those who preach in arabic not knowing that his ma'mum don't understand a thing. Yet there are those who just raise the takbir not the least troubled whether the makmums are ready and have straightened the saff. Take the example of Umar Al-Khattab, he would inspect and ensure each saff was straight and only then he would start the prayer.

Surely, under the leadership of good imams, the ummah is more likely to be united.

2. How should we straighten our saffs?

It also worries us that some people consider that straightening the saff is enough. From the fiqh perspective, straightening the saff is important but once that has been addressed, we should ensure that there are no gaps between the makmums. How this is done?

1. Standing shoulder to shoulder.

2. Standing foot to foot.

From Anas bin Malik, The Prophet said:
“Every one of us used to put his shoulder with the shoulder of his companion and his foot with the foot of his companion.”
(HR Bukhari)

Have we ever heard of the term “let’s join hands and work together”? We have a strong conviction physical bonds will instill closeness of the hearts until we become one strong united ummah.

3. Values gained

It’s a factor to achieve perfection in solat
RasululLah said: “Straighten your rows, because straightening your rows is a part of perfection in solat.” (HR Muslim)
A factor that unites the muslim’s heart as one ummah (as stated by the hadith of the poster)

It prevents disturbance from syaitan upon those who pray.
The Prophet pbuh said: “Straighten your saffs, close the gaps between you...for I see syaitan moving between the gaps like kids (goat’s offspring).” (HR Abu Daud)

InsyaAllah getting ample rewards from Allah.

Unfortunately, these sunnah of straightening our saffs and closing the gaps between our jamaahs has been neglected in Malaysia. Why do we deny ourselves from attaining such good? If the answer is “I’m not aware of this before..,” then there’s no better time to start than now, put these commands into practice in our next prayer and urge others to do the same.

The ummah’s individualistic tendencies have brought forth individuals who see for himself and for himself only. Each one is only concerned with what he owns as an individual, what he does as an individual and even how he obliges himself as individuals to Allah. All that matter is himself/herself and ignoring the fact that he/she is an integral part of this ummah.

Narrated by An-Nu'man bin Bashir: Allah's Apostle said,
“You see the believers as regards their being merciful among themselves and showing love among themselves and being kind, resembling one body, so that, if any part of the body is not well then the whole body shares the sleeplessness (insomnia) and fever with it.”
(HR Bukhari)

Let’s relive the concept of one ummah. It’s not impossible to revive it again; and let us start with how we perform our solat.

Building Integrity from Solat Campaign

broQ: jom kita kejar kesempurnaan dalam solat..lebih2 lagi dalam kita nak bersedia sambut kedatangan Ramadhan~itu pun kalau Allah panjangkan umur sampai ke minggu depan insyaAllah. ya Allah, Kau temukanlah aku dengan Ramadhan yang akan datang..entri kali nih kira kesinambungan khutbah abati (ustaz fuad Abdullah) di masjid 'surau al khauthar'..

The Call for Jamaah Prayers

2008-08-25T09:21:00.000-07:00

All praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds, and peace and blessings of be upon His noble Messenger.

Islam has never been a religion for individuals ever since it was first revealed to our Prophet Muhammad pbuh. We could see this through the implementation of the Islamic teachings as believers are urged to spread good deeds and prevent mischievous acts amongst others no matter who they are . From the lowest social rungs to the highest level everyone can give and be given advise. From this, it leads to a better society as every one is given the right to voice out their opinion on what to improve based on the Islamic teachings. Just imagine if islam focus on the individuals only. Then we would probably have good personalities but having to live (or rather struggling hard to maintain his/her integrity) in a corrupt society.

It is a sad reality that the muslim world today is filled with individualistic attitudes. We live in 300 different countries bordered by the wrongly placed spirit of nationalism and patriotism so much so that we don’t even take a glimpse at the suffering of our bothers and sisters in faith . In Malaysia for instance, take the tragic case of little Nurin Jazimin, I’m not surprised if there’re Malaysians, yes muslim Malaysians, that don’t even took notice of the issue just because she ‘is not related to me’ type of attitude. Palestine is yet another big issue. Many muslims don’t even see that the struggle of our brothers and sisters there is also in every way our own stuggle . It’s more like adopting ‘their land, their war’ kind of stand. Whatever happens to the bonds that bind us together as believers? As muslims the ties of the ‘aqidah is far stronger than family bondings. What could have made us this way?

The answer lies deep inside our hearts. And one of these answers could be found in the urge to perform solat jamaah (congregration prayers).

Yes, there has been many different opinions regarding the obligatory status of jamaah prayers, some say it’s a prerequisite for a prayer to be accepted by Allah while others say it’s sunnah mu’akkadah (confirmed regular practice of the Prophet SAW, yet the term is used here to imply that it is optional). I wouldn’t go into details but would like to stress out the benefits of performing jamaah prayers and how it builds integrity amongst us, insyaAllah.

Obviously performing congregation prayers are 27 far superior than praying alone.

Ibn Omar said that the Messenger of Allah SAW said,
"Prayer in congregation is 27 grades in excess of one's prayer alone."
(HR Muslim)

Well, although this clearly states that prayers done alone are still acceptable (the acceptance of our ibadah is only in the knowledge of Allah), but it is way much better if we perform jamaah prayers. Why deny ourselves the great benefits and goods? How can we allow ourselves to lose the reward of 27 grades, and sufficing with one grade only. Have we reached a state that we have no need for hasanat (merits) from Allah?

Jamaah prayers are amongst the times that we unite as one towards fulfilling our main purpose of living which is to obligate our lives for Allah. If the solution to our ummah’s individualistic problem is to find a common ground, why can’t it be solat? “together we stand, divided we fall?” then we should stand together in a straight line to perform our prayers.

Logically, if we’re in the wilderness, we are more prone to be attacked by wolves if we’re alone. And from a different point of view, the wolves will have a bigger chance of success if they attack as a pack. Clearly, even though some might just see prayers are only done in mosques or prayer room and even have the idea of questioning how could it bring any effects to themselves and others. However we must not forget that everything ordained by Allah and his Messenger has benefits beyond our knowledge.

Abi Ad-Darda'a said that the Messenger of Allah SAW said
"There are not three in a town where no Athan is called, and congregational prayers are not established amongst them except that the Syaitan will overcome them, so you must stick to jama'ah because the wolf gets the stray ones."

(Authentic hadeeth narrated by Abu Dawood and Ahmed)

Either we notice this or not, each time we pray we always recite:

“Only to You whom we obligate to, and only to You whom we seek for help. Guide us the straight path.”
(Al-Fatihah: 5 & 6)

We recite this verse in every prayer and each time we recite it, we use the term of ‘us’ and ‘we’. This clearly shows that islam is never and will never ever be a religion for individuals. Even during prayers, we pray for ourselves and other as stated in Al-Fatihah verse 6.

I hope the following analogy wouldn’t be crossing the line as a conclusion just to give a little more push towards urging jamaah prayers.

“Salat (prayer) is of the most important of the pillars of the deen”

If we must bring the pillars to a stand, wound’t it be easier if we did it together?

May this little effort towards uniting our ummah is accepted by Allah. And that those reading will have all the benefits, insyaAllah.

Memperingati Masjid Al-Aqsa dibakar

2008-08-21T05:12:00.000-07:00

Oleh MOHD. SAFWAN SAPARUDIN

TANGGAL 21 Ogos merupakan tarikh yang amat penting dalam lipatan sejarah umat Islam. Apa tidaknya, Pertubuhan Persidangan Islam atau lebih dikenali dengan OIC lahir kerana insiden 21 Ogos. Apakah yang berlaku sehingga persidangan ini tercetus?
Pada 21 Ogos 1969, seorang lelaki berbangsa Australia bernama Dennis Michael Rohan telah membakar Masjid Al-Aqsa. Api menyala besar dan membakar tembok serta mimbarnya yang besar (mimbar Solahuddin).

Api marak dengan dahsyat sekali seolah-olah seluruh Masjid Al-Aqsa akan musnah ketika itu. Sehinggakan pihak bomba juga tidak hadir menghulur bantuan. Tetapi Allah s.w.t telah menyelamatkan Masjid Al-Aqsa dan melindunginya. Akhirnya api dapat dipadamkan.
Setelah itu orang-orang Yahudi membuat pengadilan pura-pura terhadap Rohan. Lucunya, Rohan mendakwa bahawa dia diutuskan oleh Allah untuk melakukan pembakaran itu, bersesuaian dengan berita dari Kitab Zakaria.

Apa yang menyedihkan kemudiannya ialah Yahudi membebaskannya dengan mengatakan Rohan 'gila', dengan kata lain, tidak waras.

Maka, atas sebab itu, Rohan tidak da- pat dipertanggungjawabkan atas kejadian tersebut. Bertitik-tolak insiden menghinakan itu, negara-negara Islam di seluruh dunia bangkit mempertahankan tempat suci mereka dan mengecam perbuatan keji terhadap Al-Aqsa.
Maka sejak itu, 21 Ogos tanpa gagal diangkat sebagai Hari Al-Quds sedunia. Ia disambut sebagai tanda memperingati tragedi pembakaran masjid Al-Aqsa.

Tragedi tersebut merupakan catatan sejarah yang paling menyedihkan dalam sejarah umat Islam. Masjid Al-Aqsa yang begitu suci itu dihina sedemikian rupa.

Tidak menghairankan apabila semua umat Islam seluruh dunia 'terbakar' hati dan perasaan mereka kerana tindakan Rohan, 38 tahun lalu. Begitulah nasib Tanah suci umat Islam yang ketiga setelah dihuni oleh rejim Zionis.

Perlu diingatkan, isu Masjid Al-Aqsa ini ada hubung kait dengan hal-hal Palestin.

Maka selayaknya, isu Palestin ini merupakan isu yang dipertanggungjawabkan bagi sekalian umat Islam. Satunya kerana, kedudukan Masjid al-Aqsa sebagai Tanah Suci ketiga dalam Islam. Selebihnya ia merupakan kiblat pertama umat Islam selain menjadi bumi didiami para Nabi serta pusat pemerintahan dunia Islam seperti yang dirakamkan dalam hadis Rasulullah.
Bagi masyarakat bukan Islam, isu Palestin menggambarkan ketidakadilan dan kezaliman rejim terhadap bangsa Palestin yang perlu sama-sama dibela dan diperjuangkan.

Hari ini Palestin berada dalam tangan rejim Zionis yang telah merampasnya daripada tangan umat Islam. Akibatnya, umat Palestin telah dihalau keluar, dizalimi, ditindas, dikambinghitamkan, dipenjarakan dan dibunuh. Nasib yang melanda umat Islam Palestin memerlukan pembelaan dari seluruh umat Islam.

Sebagai usaha pembelaan dan kepedulian, maka Hari Memperingati Al-Quds atau Remembrance of Al-Quds (ROQ) merupakan sebuah gagasan yang menjadi simbol solidariti umat Islam di Malaysia terhadap umat Palestin.

Pelbagai kegiatan boleh dijalankan untuk menghebahkan tentang isu Palestin dan kedudukan Palestin dalam hati umat Islam serta soal penindasan di Masjid Al-Aqsa. Kita berharap program ini akan menggerakkan masyarakat su- paya sedar lalu terpanggil untuk menghulurkan sumbangan dan mempersiapkan diri mereka dengan segala pertahanan dan kecemerlangan sebagai umat yang terbaik.

Episod duka Palestin ini, ditambah dengan penindasan dan kezaliman yang tidak henti hingga ke saat ini hakikatnya menuntut sokongan dan bantuan semua, seluruh lapisan masyarakat dunia.
Malah, 21 Ogos hadir setiap tahun mengingatkan kita bahawa sekiranya kita tidak mempertahankan tanah suci Palestin dan Masjid Al-Aqsa, kelak, kita bukan sahaja tidak dapat mempertahankannya daripada sekadar dibakar, malah keseluruhannya cenderung untuk dirampas secara haram oleh rejim Zionis.

Justeru, bersempena Sambutan Memperingati Hari Al-Quds Sedunia tahun ini, adalah amat wajar untuk kita sama- sama mengajak masyarakat sekeliling memperingatinya, apatah lagi merencana langkah strategik, efektif dan praktikal lagi kreatif demi menyumbang ke arah pembebasan Palestin.

Sementara itu, antara aktiviti-aktiviti untuk menyemarakkan sambutan ini ialah ceramah umum, seminar, demonstrasi damai, penerbitan filem, buletin, cakera padat video (VCD), persembahan seni seperti teater, nasyid, dan festival seni dan pameran kesedaran di tempat awam yang strategik di masjid-masjid, sekolah-sekolah termasuk gedung beli-belah dan sebagainya.

broQ: akhi safwan nih kenalan dalam medan dakwah waktu dia di malaysia dulu..sekarang bersama isteri di Australia. moga Allah beri segala kekuatan pada akhi safwan untuk terus memperjuangkan hak ummah. moga usaha ini Allah balas sebagaimana usaha para mujahid!

*rifdy, munzir and ikram..yang nasi tak berempunya tuh saper punyer plak ikram?*
*geng usrahku yang macho~ridhwan, jaffreen, zulkarnain (pakar korek idung..hahaha) and aadif*

AlhamduliLlah, all praise is to Allah, the One who gives hidayah to those who seek and still placing me amongst those who are grateful. It’s already the midterm break for the degree students in UNITEN, and the campus is quite dead when I left for home last night. Leaving behind Azzizi to spend the weekend alone and the foundation students who will be burning their mid night oil for next weeks tests. The june 2008 intake foundation students are currently under a tri-semester program, latest progress from the administration towards gaining a better standard and student quality..there are pros and cons of this matter, but I’ll just leave it to the admins.

If I could recall back my memories, it’s been 2 ½ months I’ve been with the latest usrah batch June 2008. So much has been done but still so much to do..

It started of with a little supper the first night of their arrival in UNITEN. Akh Bilal came to the rescue bringing some cream breads and drinks since none of the newly registered students and the facilitators (me) can go outside of kelompok area that night. We had it at saiful/azri/wan hazim/fikri’s house. Joining in were contigens from zubair/nizam khan/rifdy/aizat and ikram/aadif/jaffreen/ridhwan. It was simple, but enough to get the juice of ukhuwah flowing inside us.

Then we meet during night halaqahs (I used the term ‘halaqah malam’ with the guys) at the surau after isya’ prayers. Me, Azzizi and Hakim brought a couple of guys to join in the isya prayers since it wasn’t scheduled in their time table; “jom kita solat isya’ dulu kat surau sebelum minum malam, kalau lambat sangat, abang tapau kan kuih ngan air..amcam?”
Every night we had the meeting for the straight 1 week orientation program. AlhamduliLlah, Allah gave us istiqamah to stroll along this path of urging others to good deeds and obligation towards Him. Here we meet Hazim, Shahir and Mahlil.

After the orientation program, we had a little dinner gathering, 23+ guys showed up. This time the Sarawakians came and joined the family. Azrai, Firdaus and Nazrin. Plus some others like Shahrul (Own), Zulkarnain, Nazemy and Shah.

*aisyeh~gambar blur plak..harap korang tak blur jgak time dengar tazkeerah. "Allah itu baik, tidak disukai melainkan yang baik"*
*Saiful amir, fikri, azrai and firdaus..mangan2*
*zubair, aizat, nazrin and ali
*mahlil (su kelompok amanah kita~), bro hakim khatib, syahir and hazim. sorry ek, gambar belakang plak*
*bro gg doing his thang..on the far right is azri. orang kuat pahang kita*

The coming weekend we spent our Sunday morning in the pool. UNITEN’s swimming pool. Learned how to swim, conducted by akh Izzudin, ate our ‘ukhuwah cake’, heard a little share of where are we heading and the purpose of tarbiyah by akh Izzudin and some words of wisdom and hope from akh Riza (he quoted himself as a father that hopes a better future for his children lead by this generation).

Till now, I can never emphasis more of the outcome of our meetings than HOPE. You guys are the future, a hope for a better future. We can only lead you towards building strong muslim personalities, share our wisdom and vision, and give love as muslim brothers. But to ensure that you do become ‘insan’, it rests on your shoulders. We will stretch out our hands to help and guide, lend our shoulders to cry for and to gain support, our time for friendship and problems..our prayers. So that you will not only be like us, but better than us. As students, as engineers and as mulims.

Today is 15th of Syaaban. 15 days left till Ramadhan. A holly month where we should drain our energy for ibadah, seek His forgiveness and to be one with our ummah. The whole year we’ve been living alone, a life of ourselves and all intentions only leads to the benefits of ourselves. But in Ramadhan, this will be our opportunity to remember others, our muslim brothers and sisters all around the world; their sufferings, their starve and thrist, their shreaded integrity…take the month of Ramadhan to reflect ourselves, not as just us, but us as one ummah. What have we done and contributed to the ummah?

My dear brothers, adik2 di UNITEN, fellow readers..lets be better people, better muslims. So that we can somehow contribute back to the revival of islam. Defend our brothers where they are cornered by bullets and regain our sister’s dignity as human and muslimah.

JOM! Kita terus istiqamah atas jalan membina peribadi muslim yang unggul!

KEMBALI

2008-07-30T08:54:00.000-07:00

salam and peace to all my blog readers,

First of all, I’d like to apologize for not updating my postings. My last post was probably days before the semester began, and the previous post was just a cut and paste. Anyhow, been quite busy with a lot of readjustments being made here and there for this semester, yet for myself and others..better yet for islam.

Well, gonna start off this entry with a little story bout the new battalion of UNITEN. 20+ of them. Alhamdulillah, Allah has given me another change to do da’wah again with the new comers and I really pray that these bunch are no more ‘lab rats’ and experiment subjects. I’m still in that phase of learning to be a good murabbi and while in that process I must ensure that I do bring up better mutarabbi. InsyaAllah this Friday will be their official halaqah sitting as before this I’ve been conducting our meet-ups as one whole big halaqah with the presence of their naqib to be. May Allah give us all strength to be amongst those who work towards the revival of islam.

Next thing I wanna share here is that I’ve watched HANCOCK! And for some reason, that movie has some very good values for me as a murabbi. Because I watched the pirated version as I downloaded it through the web-server, I couldn’t get some of the dialogs but the scenes that took me is when the salesman (ntah..) tries to put in some commonsense into hancock. He didn’t give up even though being let down the first time. We could even take examples on how he treated hancock the first time they met. Well, no point telling you guys everything, go find the movie and watch it.

I got sick last two nights. The night before I was already suffering from sore throats and harsh coughs. And on that night I was putting on 4 to 5 layers of shirts just to sweat my coming fever off, but during my sleep, I suffered from breathing difficulties. I really though it was due to my mucus plus the thick layer of shirts, so I didn’t call out for gg’s assistance and further on I just took off a couple of shirt layers off. My mother took me back yesterday night and we went to az-zahrah. There, only I new that my childhood asthma has returned. The hard breathing I suffered was an asthma attach..alhamdulillah, Allah still wants me to see another day light. So its back to old times ‘pantang larang’. No more cold drinks, ice creams and heavy sports which really makes me not me. Think about it, every time I eat it comes with; ice kosong, I’m bored; ice-cream, evenings are filled with; sports..huh~

Right now, I just came back from usrah with akh Riza. Started typing since gg said there’s no homework due for tomorrow. Tonight’s meeting was held at anas house, so asked ummi to send me there after reminding myself that I need to build ‘iltizam’. Thanks ummi for sending me despite being very tired plus preparing yourself for an early wake up for tomorrow’s journey to Melaka. May Allah grant you all the strength and be given His protection through out your journey. I was already 10 minutes late. Just as I gave salam, I noticed that I wasn’t the only one having a fever. Akh Riza had it too. He was in a even worse condition than I was in. He really has ‘iltizam’. May Allah protect you and award you with jannah.

Ok now..moments ago there was thousands of things lurking in my mind waiting to burst into this blog, but it just fled away I guest.

Till my next entry.

Doaku Buat Sahabat

2008-07-02T10:40:00.000-07:00

Just now, I’ve finished talking with Hakim Khatib, a friend of mine while we ‘lepak sebentar menghilangkan penat’ before performing our isya’ prayers.

Our topic was on his concern about the issue of tarbiyah in UNITEN. We discussed the matter for almost 2 hours till it was 1 am. But I’m sure that most of what I said was just in my opinion and are tended to be wrong in a way. I’m was actually happy for him as he has shown a commitment to actually build himself towards working for islam.

Although our manhaj is lead by different platforms, I pray for all his luck to be given strength, consistency and commitment by Allah to search what is best for him and for the ummah.

Kesedaran -> pemantapan kesedaran -> cari sistem tarbiyah -> istiqamah -> bekerja untuk islam agar tiada lagi orang akan menghadapi permasalahan seperti kita...kan Hakim?

Ya Allah,
Kau berikanlah yang terbaik buat sahabatku, Hakim Khatib,
Agar dia terus dilimpahkan hidayah,
Diberi kekuatan untuk istiqamah dalam meniti jalan perjuangan,
Dikurnia semangat untuk terus membina diri,
Jadikanlah dia,
Seorang pejuang islam yang gigih memacu kepimpinan ummah,
Pembina keluarga muslim dan ribuan para duat,
Qudwah hasanah buat mereka yang disekeliling,
Seorang yang tekat dengan prinsip islami,
Serta dikurniakan syahid,
Dan redhaMu atas kerja amal dakwahnya

Antara Fasi & Para Du’at

2008-06-24T09:30:00.000-07:00

Today we went through from program flow till the skills required for the orientation facilitators. What was interesting is that not most of the skills, but all of them are needed for Da’wah Fardhiyah and are essentials to being a da’ie. I’ll just share the point and give out a brief elaboration in a way that du’at can benefit from it insyaAllah.

To be a facilitator one must have:

1. DESIRE
As da’ies, if you have no desire to preach, to meet and to urge..than it’ll be a set back for da’wah.
2. INTENTION
Like usuall..check back the first hadith from mattan arbain (40 hadith by Imam Nawawi).
3. WILLINGNESS
Willing to be put under pressure, willing to work day and night…
4. VOLUNTEER SHIP (kesukarelawanan..)
We must volunteer to continue the workings of Ar-Rasul saw..because if not us, then who? Allah will probably replace us with a better generation that will love HIM and HE will love them back.
5. TOGETHERNESS
Working within the jamaah..”berat sama dijinjing, ringan tawarkan diri..”
6. TIME MANAGEMENT
Huhu..i my self still need to work hard on this. Its not much of a fuss, cause some of our madu’ understands the chaotic life we’re living, but that’s no excuse. Where is our role to give good qudwah?
7. CREATIVE
Tackle our madu’ with all the ways we can. “tackle the situation, jangan tackle orang..kad merah~”
8. ALWAYS READY
Be prepared. Use time wisely.
9. KNOWLEDGABLE & INFORMATIVE
If you have nothing, what else could you give but just plain nothing?
10. PATIENCE
It will pay. Either here or in the akhirah insyaAllah. And we all pray for that better ending.

broQ: alhamdulillah, esok malam dapat pelepasan. nak gi usrah sebenarnya..usrah kan wajib!?

GG's back. we're in the same room now. alhamdulillah, with his presence insyaAllah, i'll be in good bi'ah. a partner who can always remind me to obligate myself to HIM. everyone will need some kind of catalyst, and for me, it'll be GG for the time being. hahaha.

so, anyone reading this and know anyone who would either be interested with usrah (meaning dah di DF kan), or have good islamic values and potential, or even just happen to know that he/she will be entering UNITEN (putrajaya/bangi campus), please inform me:

via SMS or email. better be SMS cause i'll get it directly.

SMS format, if possible be in this form:
1. full name
2. phone number

Ya Allah, berkatilah usaha ini, perteguhkanlah hati ini, istiqamahkanlah diri ini untuk terus meniti jalan menuju jannah.

Kearah pembentukkan diri

2008-06-22T18:14:00.000-07:00

Last week I bought a little book ‘manajemen tawazun’..RM8 je, so you could just imagine how thin the book is (still in process of building consistency on reading books). Best thing was, I bought it from kak MJ & bro Awang’s mini store during a forum on ‘Hak Wanita Dalam Perundangan Islam’, held by Wanita JIM DHL & Sepang at PKNS Bangi.

Before I bought the book, I sat down and had a little chat with akh Awang (Fadhli) about my lousy problem on ‘how to finish reading books’. I’ve asked many brothers before whom are known for their crazy ability to finish reading. For me, its either I’m stuck half way, and some cases loosing the unfinished book or dozed off and forgot where I last stopped. Same answers I I get each time..hehehe..what else would I seek for from the same question!?

Start of with small books…done this. Still, doesn’t help much as I really2 need to get on with some serious matters. And these serious matters are only discussed in BIG BOOKS!! Hohoho
Go on with interesting topics. Topics that we’re eager to know on. Topics needed most especially for us being daies.
Form up a reading group so that we can discuss important details from the book. It’ll help motivate us to continue reading as we know that we’ll be left behind if we’re not consistent in reading. Make it a part my usrah’s project like ‘sesi bedah buku’..hmmm. best~
Motivate yourself that only through reading will you obtain knowledge. “one who has nothing, can give nothing” so? To have something, I MUST READ.

Abi also started reading around my age. 21. but he really like reading since his school days. While in EC, abi was called ‘The Book Eating Jaws’..just imagine that! But it really pays off, I can just ask him about anything, and he’ll come up with the answer just with a tap of a finger. If not, he’ll head to our hime library and search out for the book that has the answer. We’ve got alotta books stored, some weren’t even read by abi, but he knows his books~

Inspired? Yep..motivated? huhuhu..

I really ought to get myself reading. Even ‘manajemen tawazun’ isn’t finish after 3 weeks of buying it. (o_0)

Ya Allah, kuatkanlah diri ini untuk terus istiqamah

Singapore Parkour Visit..pics

2008-05-22T19:38:00.001-07:00

salam and peace, for now i've only managed to put in pictures of my Singapore Parkour visit which was on 17th and 18th May 2008. last week. nyw, a little writing up coming soon~

*my morning breakfast at the bus stop in Singapore. i arrived in Lavender Street at 6am and prayed my subuh prayers on the pavement beside a public toilet as no one knew where the nearest mosque was. and i couldn't even hear the azan*

*the mosque that was just around the corner of Lavender Street. just 10 minutes walk from where i first step into Singapore. and another 10 minutes walk is the famous Masjid Sultan which was controversially built by Stamford Raffles during the British over take of Temasik*

*Foot marks on the walls near Ranggong LRT station where i was supposed to meet up with Ashraf aka NC (nightcreeper)*

*this is just something as a collection since last years visit i took the same picture. this was after my morning stretchings and little rail precisions in Crawford where Nomad suggested me to head as a time filler*

*AlhamduliLlah, finally reaching NC's house which was just across the road from Ranggong LRT station. i had to wait for him about 45minutes because of miscommunication plus i had his wrong phone number~*

*this is denester aka CP (his chinese name) trying out an scd to precision on top of Ashton's roof top. this guy inspired me alot since he was the only guy that was as hyperly interested intraining as i am. what he did, i did. and what i did, he took a try. he's only 15!*

*a little scenary of the sunset with me and khairul's shoes. some traceur (parkour practitioner) sign of "i was here" thingy*

*there you go. me and khairul on ashtons roof top which was 17 plus storeys high. you could see almost the whole Singapore up there (nah bluffing). but you could see Johor Bahru and also the City Hall*

*this is Ashton the legend. this picture was seconds before he attempted a death defying 2 storey high gap jump. terrice even gave way for me to say my prayers before giving the way for Ashton. one of his favourite saying before his jump was "i'm a tracuer. certain things, i must take it to the next level"*

*zaid, khairul and ashton*

Tag Usrah Yang Lazat, Lemak Berkrim..Burp~

2008-05-22T07:06:00.000-07:00

Tag ini dinamakan; Usrah Yang Lazat, Lemak Berkrim (^_^)

tagged by: Dini Syarif

Moga-moga tag ini dapat memberi pencerahan berkenaan usrah, dan lebih ramai yang dapat mengecapi nikmatnya usrah!

[1*] Berapa lama anda dah sertai usrah?
Sejak form 1, tahun 2000. kira2 baru 17 tahun itu pun waktu tuh tak tau itu usrah. Term usrah pon kenal waktu join KRJDHL dengan akh amirasyid densibali time form 2 and kenal betul2 usrah sebagai medan tarbiyah waktu di UNITEN pon dengan akh amirasyid densibali.

[2*] Bagaimana anda boleh sertai usrah?
Waktu sekolah dulu sebnarnya nak lari dari tugasan asrama. Lepas habis sekolah jerk (alamin bangi time tuh) kena start menghafal (~_~!) aiyoh..so dengar senior (akh ibrahim hasan) buat program pengisian lepas sekolah. Ikutlah. Bagi alasan kat warden ikut program~
Lepas tuh tahun seterusnya diajak mengaktifkan diri dalam KRJDHL ikut silibus usrah bentuk games! Dikendalikan oleh anak buah usrah ayah ana sendiri. Antaranya, akh amirasyid densibali (skrg kt UK), akh fahmi (skrg ajar MRSM PASIR SALAK), akh saifudin (skrg ntah, tp last jumpe time KONSIS ZT 2008), akh zaid (ni pon ntah kat mane, tapi ana yakin die masih aktif), akh ammar (last time ana jumpe dekat melaka, jd org kuat tarbiyah melaka).
Then peringkat seterusnya, masuk UNITEN. Time tuh sebab takut dengan suasana yang gila2 budak UNITEN and kesedaran yang usrah tuh lah tempat membina semangat juang.

[3*] Kenapa anda menyertai usrah?
1. sebab nak lari dari hafalan. Sampai sekarang hafalan masih kantoi dalam usrah~
2. sebab best asek main games jerk plus boleh join program nasional KRJ
3. sebab takot and rasa perlu cari pengisian rohani!

[4*] Tiga perasaan anda setelah menyertai usrah
1. lega sebab tak payah menghafal.
2. sangat best sebab melalui KRJ and membina keyakinan diri dan keupayaan memimpin
3. alhamduliLlah, Allah masih sayangkan aku

[5*] Lima perkara yang anda dapat selama menyertai usrah
1. makan free..selalu sangat. Tapi sejak naik modul, makin kurang makan besar~
2. sumber kekuatan rohani serta ilmu yang sangat banyak
3. rakan2 seperjuangan yang sentiasa saling mengingati akan yg baik dan cegah yg munkar
4. rasa diri disayangi
5. dapat..dapat..dapat kena tag. Klu tak ikut usrah mesti tak kena tagnya~

Peraturan Tag:
1. Setiap blogger mesti letakkan peraturan ini di hujung entri
2. Blogger yang ditag perlu menjawab soalan-soalan yang dikemukakan
3. Blogger yang ditag perlu meletakkan jawapan di dalam entri blog masing-masing

Could Have been His Last Words

2008-05-20T21:58:00.000-07:00

Last Monday, abi went through an operation to lessen the swollen arm due to his weak vain. The vain was actually the one that was used to stick tubes into for his dialysis. Abi is currently suffering from polycystic kidney disease which is where his kidney tends to malfunction due to genetics. My late grandmother (arwah mok cik) suffered from it too. And because of its genetic inheritance, the trait is carried on to the next generation 1 over 2. Thus within my siblings, Amin is the only one to be detected having the same trait so far. And I pray so much that me and Mawardi won’t be having it so that we can care for our brother.

Although abi doesn’t talk much about his sufferings but, surely, you could see it through how he struggles just to follow other healthy peoples pace. Not that my post here wants to discourage him, but to be honored to have a father that really sells his live and sole for Allah. And hopefully Allah will grant him his reward to be placed in paradise with those he looked upon from his history books.

Before abi was taken into the OT (operation theater), he uttered phrases from surah As-Syams to me, amin and umi. Odi wasn’t there since he had to sit his biology paper that day.

وَنَفْسٍ وَمَا سَوَّاهَا
91:7 And the soul and Him Who made it perfect,

فَأَلْهَمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَتَقْوَاهَا
91:8 Then He inspired it to understand what is right and wrong for it;

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَن زَكَّاهَا
91:9 He will indeed be successful who purifies it,

وَقَدْ خَابَ مَن دَسَّاهَا
91:10 And he will indeed fail who corrupts it.

He smiled. That was the last thing I saw from him. Not a tear. Not a smirk of unease. And not a blame he puts on his faith in life. For sure Allah will only test those who are strong enough to face it. And if Allah brings you to it, He will take you through it.

If I could call back the days, abi had entered the OT several time now. And each time before he enters. “Abi redha dengan umi dan anak-anak..”

Abi, how you’ve inspired me to keep on walking this path. A life full of uncertainties but yet an end of wonders for those whom obligates their life for Him. We’ve seen those whom we are sure lived their lives for Allah taken from this world one after the other. Aren’t we convinced that life on earth is just temporary?

Abi, you’re an inspiration. And how I love you so much.

Spreading The Wisdom of Islam Through The Love of Parkour

2008-05-16T04:47:00.000-07:00

O Allah, ease my journey. Make it safe so that I won’t become a burden to anyone. Give me all Your wonders and hikmah throughout this journey so that I’ll come back wiser and stronger to continue to walk the path that leads to you. May this short experience be much beneficial to me and others in terms of da’wah. To preach others and myself to obligate our lives for You.

A Long Lost Childhood Friend

2008-05-12T08:33:00.000-07:00

InnaliLlahi wa inna ilaihi raji'un

Last Friday, the father of one of my best friends during school days, Malikin Malib Kitabullah bin Azman was taken away from this world by his Creator. Sir Azman bin Md Zain was said to be under treatment from breathing difficulties in Johor, and was steadily recovering before he died.

Having hearing the news quite late (I got the news on Saturday evening), I planned several times to visit Malikin & Bukhari with Bilal at their house in Section 3, Bangi and was granted the opportunity this afternoon after Asar prayers. Managed to bring along some ‘minuman petang’ for the family.

It’s been almost 9 years since I last spoke to Malikin. Ever since he left SRI Al-Amin Bangi in 1998 after finishing his primary 5. 5 At-Thiqah at that time and I was quite close to him because he likes to draw, mainly the hottest comic at that time, Dragon Balls. But to see him again after all these long years, eased me a lot, although just to a simple ‘ziarah’ and to convey our condolence over his lose. AlhamduliLlah, everything’s seems ok for Malikin. Bukhari was out when we came.

On my way back, I listened to Xifu and Algebra’s album, the nasyid on hadiths. The song was on what Umar ra. said that if you’re in the evening, don’t think you’re gonna see the morning. And if you're in the morning, don’t think you’re gonna see the evening. It striked me a lot for we never know when its our time. if it’s time, it’s time. not a fraction of a second early nor late.

With our lives, we are given the opportunity to make the best of it. To seek Allah’s blessings. Young before old. Rich before poor. Free time before things get hectic. Health before sick. Even in either all these situations, we must continue to work to achieve Allah’s blessing as we’re still alive. Because we’re still in the time frame of live before death.

*Me, Malikin & Bilal*

Al-Fatihah for our beloved friend’s father, Sir Azman bin Md Zain.

College Tuanku Jaafar's Sunday Talk

2008-05-11T01:32:00.000-07:00

Received a call on tuesday from makcik Arfah asking me if I were free on 11th May to fill in a slot at College Tuanku Jaafar, Nilai. A session where I thought was a one touch, turned out that these makciks were relying on me for a continuous program there. Even the college’s ustazah, ustazah Noriza. Because I was free, I took the offer but replied to makcik Arfah that I’ve yet to see the condition of the students and schedule it with my time for the continuous programs.

Arrived quite on time at the surau. Went in and met with Muzaffar, a six former studying there for his A levels. Met other couple of guys, but since they didn’t knew I was the speaker (some asked me f I were actually the ustaz that’ll give the talk this morning, but I replied I got a call from ustazah Noriza and decided to join in the program~), I sat at the back with amin who alhamduliLlah, managed to fight his sleepiness to accompany me.

Once the LCD arrived, took out my laptop, I noticed some of them frowned like they felt they were cheated. Ngeee. Nyw, I gave a brief introduction; ‘TA’ARUF? A fairy tale of Mohd Qayyim bin Hafidzi’. One part of the story I shared that I’m currently active with KARISMA activities which in the end lead to some sharing of what we do. Some asked me how can they join~ insyaAllah, I’ll try to arrange this for them.

My talk this morning was on ‘We Are The Agent of Change’. Which I could say very light and surface in the beginning. Near the end, I emphasized more towards our role as muslims and shared stories regarding young companions like Ali ra. and Usamah bin Zaid. I reminded them that in every civilization, movements; changes by the youth is sunnatuLlah. And we can never run from that fact that us as youth either we follow that sunnatuLlah and make changes for the better or for the worst.

I am currently reading ‘Pertentangan Iman dengan Materialisma’ by Abul Hasan Ali An-Nadwi. This book states values of surah Al-Kahfi relating it to the materialism world we’re facing today. In the section of The Seven Sleepers, he stated that 2 criteria that the ashabul Kahfi had to be given Allah’s help and guidance were ‘iman’ and ‘youth’.

نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ نَبَأَهُم بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّهُمْ فِتْيَةٌ آمَنُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ وَزِدْنَاهُمْ هُدًى
[Al-Kahfi:13] We relate to you their story with the truth;
surely they were youths who believed in their Lord and We increased them in guidance.

وَرَبَطْنَا عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ إِذْ قَامُوا فَقَالُوا رَبُّنَا رَبُّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ
لَن نَّدْعُوَ مِن دُونِهِ إِلَهاً لَقَدْ قُلْنَا إِذاً شَطَطاً
[Al-Kahfi:14] And We strengthened their hearts with patience, when they stood up and said: Our Lord is the Lord of the heavens and the earth; we will by no means call upon any god besides Him,
for then indeed we should have said an extravagant thing.

Being youths is one thing I’m grateful of, and given the opportunity to be this path of da’wah and tarbiyah is another. O Allah, make me one of those who are given strength by You to carry on this duty preaching towards You.

After the talk, I had a little conversation while we had breakfast (nasi lemak die betol2 haw liau!) with Syafie’, Shahir and Fadhli. They shared they life style there, how it’s hard to even collect people for jamaah prayers, and how ‘usrah’ has stopped for over more than 4 to 5 years. Fadhil is preparing for his finals in 3 weeks time, Syafie’ and Shahir are still in their lower six. They’re looking for the opportunity toexperience the tarbiyah environment.

It’s sad to think that certain people are offered this system. But they themselves refuse to be in the system. While some others are not offered, they had to search for it, strive and fight for it, but no one’s willing to help. Why do we pitty those who don’t want, and leave them who are thirsty of it, dangling, clinging on to their lives?

Reminds me of Surah ‘Abasa.

I’ve promised myself to be more strategize after KONSIS ZT 2008. Leave those who slowly drag me back. And welcome those who are in need and are willing to participate in CHANGING THE WOLRD.

astaghfiruLlah, astaghfiruLlah, astaghfiruLlah..
Ya Allah, jauhkan aku dari sifat ‘ujub dan bangga diri atas usaha yang sangat sedikit ini.

A Visit to Mahkamah Rendah Syariah

2008-05-09T06:40:00.000-07:00

erkk (-_-!)..not many of shah alam citizens knew where it was! Of course lah, who would wanna go? only those who had problems right! nyw, accompanied my father and grandfather to finish of my grandfathers divorce matter. and he wasn't the only couple. There were about 20 couples applying for divorce just in shah alam, with another 13 states with their own court, and 200 working days in a year where the court is in session, wonder how many family institutions have broke down?

20 x 13 x 200 = 52,ooo families!

How many new familys are made? In a year?

My unofficial statistic is quite bothering. How many family institutions would we need to build just to cover up the 52,000 that'll face divorce each year? Berape sangatlah baitul muslim yg kite dapat bina setiap tahun..

With many people, we end up with many personalities. It really reflects what kind of society that we’re dealing with. Wah! Kena buat lawatan usrah nih!

“Have you read your summon letter?”
“No your honour”
“Why? Where is it?”
“I ripped it to shreds because I was too angry”

“Are you clean madam?”
“Clean? Emm, I’m not on haid”
“May I know how long has it been?”
“Can’t remember your honour”
“When was the last time you’ve mandi wajib?”
“Can’t remember your honour”

“Madam, you are 14 weeks pregnant, are still insisting to carry on with the devorce?”
“Yes”

“Here I'll read you the statements..bla3..your 5 children will be under the mothers care..bla3..do you agree with the statements read?”
“Yes”

“Did you have the intention of divorcing your wife when you said; ‘mulai saat ini, kita sudah tidak ada apa-apa lagi, aku tak kacau kau, kau jangan kacau aku!’?”
“Emm, not sure your honour”
“Then why did you say like that?”
“Emmm”
“Your case is adjourned for you to think over the answer”

These are just amongst ones I could remember. Its heart breaking to see how easily families are destroyed. With a simple oath of divorce. One thing that’s halal and the syaitan loves it!

Well, my grandfather’s divorce was settled that day. Reasons were because of his health and not wanting to burden my step grandmother’s life and families just to look out for him. But really, I think there were other reasons to it. One thing about my grandfather, he’s secretive. Hmmm.

My 3 hours stay in the court room really shows how important the criteria of your couples should be. More over with our task building muslim family institutions. Having the same agenda, working towards the same goal, being understanding within the da’wah works that topples over our couple and loads more. If ad-Deen can’t be the connection, nothing will.

“Why are you asking for a divorce?”
“We have no more understanding between us your highness”
“Is that all? Your case is adjourned till next time. And I want a definite and strong answer for the divorce”

Looking back to my parents. Being daie’s is what made them still being together. 22 years now and still counting (^_^) insyaAllah. Working for islam is the ultimate answer to a strong family, which many don’t see. Love. Arranged marriage. Promises. These are nothing compared to islam.

Yep. Marriage is the answer to avoid sins. just take a look around with all the young couples mingling like no one cares! Emm..since when did this became a habit. If I wasn’t mistaken, 5 years back, you won’t be seeing things like today! But [is marriage the correct answer to this illness? If yes, won’t it bring more damage to the family institution? If no, then what can we do?]

It’s a social norm now to couple. Which is very bad! With the TVs encouraging it, dope parents giving permissions, and the ‘owh its not my problem’ society. Coupling is getting worse. Now we hear people changing mates like changing clothes and getting break ups like too frequent. And I do express my worries that some day (nauzubiLlah) when marriage is taken lightly, divorce is also taken lightly. Where people don’t see marriage as a bigger commitment than coupling. Meaning that marriage is then just like coupling but with a certificate, where you could have childrens..and when you’re bored, get a divorce!

Something must be done!

Ya Allah, kurniakanlah aku pasangan yang mampu membimbing aku menuju Mu.

Allah Made Me Funny

2008-05-07T09:12:00.000-07:00

I came across ustaz maszlee malik's blog and read over the acticle entitled Akhirnya Pemimpin Arab Mampu Untuk Bersepakat. What interested me was a link on Azhar Usman and Preacher Moss, whom both are muslim stand-up comedians. Wow! Never thought there would be any but there they are.

I’ve watched one of Azhar Usman’s performance, and yes, comedy from a true muslim perspective. Not really did I understand all his jokes, but he did pinch in a few facts about islam and the misconceptions by the public. He managed to fill the platform for da’wah.

Allah Made Me Funny (AMMF) really portrays the skills given by Allah to do da’wah just like in the story of Ghulamu Da’wah. *yet to find the book~ ‘Iman & Harakah’

After all, ustaz Salam also quoted that da’wah is fun. Where ‘fun’ is actually an arab word meaning ‘art’. Islam can reach each sole differently and to that matter, we must vary the method of preaching on it. Simply said, da’wah is all means of calling humans to Allah. Don’t take this rigidly. That’s why people think too much to what extend must they urge others into islam, whereby just asking one to think about His creation is actually da’wah.

وَمَنْ أَحْسَنُ قَوْلاً مِّمَّن دَعَا إِلَى اللَّهِ وَعَمِلَ صَالِحاً وَقَالَ إِنَّنِي مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ
[fuhsilat, 41:33] And who speaks better than he who calls to Allah while he himself does good,
and says: I am surely of those who submit?

But as daie’s, we must always bare the end in mind. Da’wah IS to call upon human to obey Him in every means of his life.

While me, umi and abi were watching a documentary ‘Animal Did It First’ over Animals Planet channel, I suddenly came across the question about house flies.

Q: I once read that house flies only life up to 12 hours.
HMN: Naah! At least around 1 or 2 weeks. If you check the life circle of a fly, it could take around a week to reach adulthood.
ZK: Maybe once they’ve laid their eggs, they fly out to die?
HMN: See how Allah has created these animals. Certain creations die after serving their main purpose of life, to breed. Once done, nature will take its path.
ZK: Different to human. Once giving birth, the responsibility stacks up. To feed. To teach. To protect.

Q (monolog): because our purpose of life is not to breed. Its to bring islam into the world. Memainkan peranan sebagai khalifah dan menyeru kepada ketundukan total, pengabdian sepenuhnya kepada Allah.

I usually share in my usrah the question of to what extend is our role as caliphs? In bahasa, khalifah yang memakmurkan bumi. Through what yard stick we use to measure ‘makmur’. Peradaban. Civilization. Is it through education, technology and mega constructions?

I believe that ‘makmur’ will only be achieved when islam is put at the most top. Ustaziatul Alam. The last stage of da’wah from the 7 steps.

Are we heading there my friends? Am I?

What skills can we lend for this noble mission?

***

Back to (AMMF), Azhar Usman portrays a good side of muslims. A side which has been in the dark view from the public’s eyes. Muslims don’t laugh, they’re serious and they don’t socialize. Well in a way, he showed that we are very much humane.

Respect. May Allah bless and give strength to all preachers of islam through methods unthought-of.

وَقُلِ اعْمَلُواْ فَسَيَرَى اللّهُ عَمَلَكُمْ وَرَسُولُهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ
وَسَتُرَدُّونَ إِلَى عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ فَيُنَبِّئُكُم بِمَا كُنتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

[Taubah,9:105] And say: Work; so Allah will see your work and (so will) His Apostle and the believers;
and you shall be brought back to the Knower of the unseen and the seen,
then He will inform you of what you did.

Sesungguhnya Aku Dekat

2008-05-06T15:50:00.000-07:00

وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ
أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُواْ لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُواْ بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ

[2:186] Dan apabila hamba-hamba-Ku bertanya kepadamu tentang Aku, maka (jawablah), bahwasanya Aku adalah dekat. Aku mengabulkan permohonan orang yang berdo'a apabila ia memohon kepada-Ku, maka hendaklah mereka itu memenuhi (segala perintah-Ku) dan hendaklah mereka beriman kepada-Ku, agar mereka selalu berada dalam kebenaran.

*when my servants question you about Me, tell them that I am very close to them. I answer every suppliant when he calls; therefore, they should respond to Me and put their trust in Me, so thet they may be rightly guided.

did my morning tadarrus just now and came to this ayah. tadabbur monolog session. Allah is every time so close. He asks us to do his orders, leave whats warned of, inreturn, He guides us to Him. which we know an eternity of Happyness.

simple. obey. rewarded. but why do we tend to violate rules laid for us which are clearly known to protect us?

Allah, jadikan aku orang yang sentiasa taat padaMu.

What A Day

2008-05-06T10:27:00.000-07:00

Tuesday..started out with a parkour session at The Mines which ended up with us getting caught with the security. Being held like hostages for almost 10minutes, we backed off into Mines foodcourt to chill ourselves. Felt sorry for the other guys as they didn’t had the chance to explore the place, which I tell is ‘giler best’.

Nyw, after some refreshments, amir and mim (I think..tak ingat lor) headed off home, amar and the geng went for the movies and me and azam went to bowl. Irsyad and fikri joined us on our way to 3rd floor. Had quite a time since its been almost 2 months since my last bowling session. Drilled some screws but finished the second frame with straights, both games were ‘haji’ (above 100)..alhamduliLlah

وَمَكَرُواْ وَمَكَرَ اللّهُ وَاللّهُ خَيْرُ الْمَاكِرِينَ

3:54]And they planned and Allah (also) planned, and Allah is the best of planners.

These verses were frequently said each time one of us throws our ball. At least a little tazkeerah so that we don’t get carried away feeling that some strikes are due to our effort only. But surely, Allah intends it that way. Same goes with the ones we missed. To always remember not to be ‘ujub’ with what we’ve gained.

After that, Irsyad treated me to some arcade basket ball game. RM1. I lost to him with 16 goals..well, first timer. Its good to know what they’ve been up to when they hang over at the malls. Yeah some cinema, arcade, loitering. Some times, its better to just show your principals, that certain things we just don’t do such as going to cinemas. Kinda like talking doesn’t do the job, but rather da’wah bil haal.

Fikri shared his opinion how I communicated with them. I used ‘ana’ ‘anta’..like in our school days. The batch after me kinda got astray~ ‘aku’ ‘ko’ was more familiar to them. So me taking those vocabs into my talks kinda ured them to do the same when replying. Fikri expressed that it was hard to do it with others. I shared how allayarham Fadhullah normed his life with those words till most people who talks with him will use ‘ana’ ‘anta’..you just have to stick to your principals. Be the agent of change. And to be one, you must stick to your Principes. So gg, chot, paan, mel (close mates)..i’m gonna start ‘ana’ ‘anta’ next sem insyaAllah.

Arrived home and prepared myself to meet my lecturers. Mintak simpati naikkan grade. Well, before that umi accompanied me to meet the YTN officers to ask how to convert my scholarships into loan. But, its not that easy as I have to fill in a new form and the minimum requirement is GPA 3.00..which means I’d have to apply again next semester and make sure I get a 3.00 this coming sem. Hmmm. Have to lessen my activities. But for sure da’wah must go on. So, MPP, rowing, PPI…ape lagi yek? I have to slow down. I’ll consult Acap (bureau of information and publication, MPP, I work under him), Dominic (my rowing club president, I’m his vice) and Azrie (lajnah integrasi dan perpaduan, I work under him)..i really need to step it down a lot! And focus more on my studies. Nih boleh jadi fitnah nih klu aku asek teruk jerk dalam academics.

Tomorrow, I’ll be going to registrar to regrade my grades..RM75/paper. If my grades improve, then I get back my money, otherwise..burn la oi! Kena banyak mintak pertolongan Allah nih.

إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ

[1:5] Thee do we serve and Thee do we beseech for help.

At night..USRAH

Been looking forward to this since KONSIS ZT 2008. the last few weeks I;ve been trying hard to improve the bond between my usrah members. alhamduliLlah, if you really try, Allah will help in many ways. Give you strength. Give you willingness. And furthermore, this usrah is very important as is my source of tarbiyah and motivation.

Discussed over surah Al-Qalam.

One part I found interesting to be shared here is about the story of the stingy farmers and how Allah treats the believers differently than the kuffars.

Lets say A(mu’min) and B(kufffar)..our rat labs. Both are entrepreneurs. At one point both suffered the same huge amount of loss. Regarding this, both made some post mortem where the loss came from and how it happened. Difference is, B will say that the losses were due to human errors, economy and so on. But for A, its particularly that Allah wants to remind him for his sins. Which will make him a much stronger believer afterwards. This was told through the story of the stingy farmers where in the end, they realized they weren’t dependant on Allah. Maka bertambahlah iman mereka.

Next was FUTUR part II.

Last time we discussed till point number 6. nyw, I list down all 13 points from the book ‘sebab gagalnya dakwah’ by..ntah, tak hengat.
1. berlebihan dalam aturan agama
2. melampaui batas dalam benda yang harus
3. memisahkan diri daripada jamaah
4. kurang memikirkan mati & akhirat
5. melalaikan kewajipan harian (seperti solat sunat..yg fardhu apatah lagi)
6. tubuh dimasuki perkara haram & shubhah
7. melaksanakan sebahagian sahaja amalan agama
8. tak faham sunnatuLlah dakwah & perjuangan
9. mengabaikan ‘kebutuhan’ jasmani..(ana suke ayat nih..ayat indonesia. Klu tukar tak samapi pulak maksudnya)
10. tak prepare hadapi perjalanan dakwah
11. berkumpulan dengan mereka yang berpenyakit FUTUR
12. tidak merancang aktiviti tarbiyah
13. berlarutan buat maksiat & memandang ringan dosa kecil
boleh elaborate nih. Tapi kene ikut usrah ana lah..^_^

after that was sahabah Abdullah ibn umi Makhtum.

We talked about Abdullah ibn Umi Makhtum. Sonds like familiar. Hmmmm..sape ek?
Well, this sahabah was the blind man Ar-Rasul accidentally ignored in the surah ‘Abasa. He then became one of the prophets most trusted to carry out his duties while he was away. Abdullah ibn umi makhtum usually took place as imam when the prophet Muhammad pbuh went to war and he also called the azan for fajar during ramadhan. And he was never wrong. During this time, we all were quite amazed, a blind man to be very aware of dawn..for us, even with good eye sights, we don’t even know fajar till we hear the azan from the mosque or just that our alarm clock starts ringing at 6am. This sahabah fllowed the muslimeen army into the battle of Qadisiyah. A war between the Persians and the muslims if not mistaken during khilafah umars leadership. Abdullah took the task holding the flag. He died while still holding it. Died a syuhada’. Would we be as courageous as Abdullah ibn umi Makhtum when the time comes? O Allah, grant us syaheed.

Last thing was some ‘sembang kopi’. Me and bilal shared our experience at KONSIS ZT 2008. About ghulamu da’wah, ghazwatul fikr and da’wah fardhiyah. We were very pleased with the out come. But as akh Riza used to say, the success of tarbiyah is when one is left alone. Menjauhi maksiat. Memperbanyakkan ibadah sunat.

other things~

Asrol will be my neighbor starting 8th May. He’s moving in to 4/6 which is just 500m from my house. insyaAllah will try to make that ‘rumah bujang’ one hell of da’wah port! Mintak bibik masak sekali-sekala. Pancing budak-budak rumah asrol~

alhamduliLlah, one day goes by.
“the generation will move along. Old ones will leave, new ones will come..its up to us either to catch up or get left behind from the kafilah da’wah”

Allah, kurniakanlah hambaMu ini kekuatan untuk esok hari.

KONSIS ZT 2008

2008-05-04T07:14:00.000-07:00

salam and peace,

alhamduliLlah, finished KONSIS ZT (konvensyen mahasiswa nasional zon tengah) 2008 this afternoon. was very pleased that i made it till the end since this was actually my 3rd time joining, but the 1st to fully committed. thinking it back, was quite a waste to be joining in at such a late time compared to the other ikhwahs..

its like missing the train..but Allah gave me this other chance to catch up

like akh Hussaini shared in his slot in the 'student life' forum, KONSIS made his turning point. and so would this KONSIS do to me. finally getting back to normal grounds, having the chance to once again breath the air of dakwah and tarbiyah. Within the real understanding.

much was gained through out the 3 days stay. friends. motivation. having to know that i had miss lead myself in the world of tarbiyah. hearing kak MJ (maryam jailani) saying that she actually fell in love with dakwah & tarbiyah made me realize how important those things were. i some how took them lightly over the years. to embrace it is one thing. to appreciate it is another. and i finally came to that sence that i need to appreciate it more than i did before.

"anta nih husband ana yang kedua, sebab ana jatuh cinta dengan dakwah & tarbiyah lebih dulu.." said kak MJ that night..a view point that should change my perception to how diae's firmly grasp the quality of life.

i opened up myself again last night about the tarbiyah situation in UNITEN. i promised my self not to. because each time i did it, its kinda 'merungut', sulking..not being dependent on Allah. all thats happening in UNITEN is the result of me taking dakwah and tarbiyah so damn lightly. Thus I have no reason to sulk. O Allah, help me win this battle. Another 2 years left, yet I have no confident leaving. Strengthen my faith on You, strategize my workings, tighten my bond within my brothers ‘seusrah’ and ‘sefikrah’ so that we will walk this path together and leave a generation that will continue fight.

Ghulamu Da’wah

Ghazwatul Fikr

So little discussed but yet, its up to me to explore. Read more. Tsabatkan hati untuk terus berusaha mencari ilmu. A little discussion with Ust. Arif cleared that only through knowledge that we can tie the knot between us and our madu’s.

I came upon many people. Those who motivated me in many ways. JazakumulLahu khairan kathira to all for making those little fractions of a second in my whole life meaningfull. Meeting those who were ‘legends’ for their dakwah, those who put working for islam a standard life chapter which without it, their lives are meaningless, a novel unfinished.
To see them embracing tarbiyah reminded me the first usrah I joined. Wanted to share this when akh Auzan called out for story sharing on how we knew tarbiyah. But naah! Too much mencapub since 1st day, ikhwah nye keje nih..macamlah diorang kenal aku sorang je kat situh! nyw, my 1st usrah was unintentionally attended since I wanted to get away from hafadzan session at the hostel after school, so used it as an excuse. Akh Ibrahim Hassan lead the halaqah, talked about how As-Syahid Imam Hasan Al-Banna worked hard to revive islam, how the khilafah took its downfall, works to be carried on..i cried that very first time. Ever since, I though I had that feeling of gratitude having to know that muslims should do da’wah..but little did I know, I was too dissolved with the ideology, that I neglected tarbiyah as a crucial source to dakwah. I’ve regained that conscious insyaAllah through KONSIS ZT 2008.

2 more months, akh Bilal will hopefully fly to Egypt to further his studies. This akh accompanied me most of time during KONSIS. Much did I learn from him, mostly being motivated. How we discussed, shared our opinions, our stories..i’ll miss this guy sooo much. Akh Amirasyid also left around the same time last year to UKs.

People are leaving Qayyim..you’ll have to learn to build yourself alone from now on. If you don’t have that intention to change, to improve..then there’ll might never be another time.

Umi shared her story just now after dinner on how she came to wear the scarf during her school time at STF (sekolah tun fatimah kot)..hidayah comes in a flash. If we choose not to change, no one knows when the other time will come. Will there ever be another time?

A new chapter in life
insyaAllah

fail MASB113

2008-04-24T08:41:00.000-07:00

astaghfiruLlah, a burden to shoulder..failing my subject was really a big test on me. Allah, you have given me so much, and its Your right to test your servants to see whom really have faith in you. i've committed so much sins in the past, so many time i've forgotten You, taken You lightly..and its only fair of whats happened to me, to remind me of my doings.

having to know i'll loose my scholarship next semester, really puts some thinking in me. fuuh! live goes on. either we like it or not. we choose the path we want. and seems like i've choosen mine. to loose that scholarship..tambah pulak la beban umi abi nak cover perbelanjaan aku, kereta aku pakai lagi, hostel, macam-macamlah. hutang abi aku tak bayar lagi~ (-_-!)

hutang tetap hutang!

back to my F grade for MASB113 (Malaysian Studies), the night before, i was not doing much of usnudzon (having good thoughts of others). infact, i kept blaming the lecturer for maybe wrongly keying the grades, or miss placed my assingments or just doesnt like me at all. he was quite a troublesome and fussy lecturer as he demanded all assingments to be handed colour printed plus big pictures. he also doesnt teach much like for the 2 hours classes, 1 hour if for coffe talk, 30 minutes of his depressed feelings on the class and the last 30 minutes is our lecture. ngahahaha! i usually sleep during the entire class although i always sit amongst the first row or 2nd or 3rd row. siap ternganga lagi kadang-kadang~

but i was totally wrong. he was kinda anoyying. but he tried to help me when i came to see him this morning. and it turned out that i was the one to be blamed for the F grade. i wrongly missed a zero in my ID number. instead of ME078047, i wrote ME07847..there was only 1 paper left on his desk unowned. and my marks were without a finals. thus making me fail. the unowned paper went from one section to the other.but the other lecturers say its not from theirs. the paper scored 40/50..thats big A. alhamduliLlah, it turned out the paper was mine..hahaha. cuai giler aku nih..

he helped me write the appologizing letter to the dean..and hopefully will be setteled by next week insyaAllah..

lesson learned today: always have good thoughts of others. akh AKAD used to say that we must have atleast 70 good reasons for someone. if you have all 70, the 71 will likely be ok for us to think bad of one else. nevertheless, always usnudzon!

here's some eye pleasure. after meeting the lecturer and setteling my grade, i went to mines wonderland and did some little filming. not much as the camera broke down. enjoy.

BAGAIMANA PULA CITA2 KU?

2008-04-22T07:37:00.000-07:00

today i had the chance to follow abi and hear his talk to some elders in a 'PROGRAM MOTIVASI WARGA EMAS' near Sg. Congkak. presicely at Nur Lembah Pangsun, just after Sg. Congkak, quite a nice place, maybe could hold a parkour camp there some day ^_^

well, i didnt really got the topic of abi's talk, but summerising it, its about how we live life as muslims. and the entire talk was basically around 'where we came and to where we're going' idea. this he took the confucius philosophy where they say that life is between 'not knowing' and 'cant remember'.."where were you from/how were you born?" hmmm, can't remember. "where are you heading after death?" hmmm, don't know..perhaps don't care!?
if we master these questions, our lives are much meaningfull as we have a starting point and we know where to end. these are answered clearly in the Quran and Hadiths. the Quran even stated the human developement in the womb scientifically way years before modern scientist knew it. thus, to what reason do I neglect this understanding!? dont i claim im in faith of Allah?

years i've shared this in usrah, 'we decide!'..'hidayah is given to each and everyone, but what makes it different between the believers and non-believers? is the choice that they make, the choice we make'. but to where do i stand in my own preachings? to where does my decision takes me..its not like 'pika-chu! i choose you!', but rather HELL or HEAVEN. owh Lord, do protect me from the wrong doings i've done. guide me into doing the right things. lead me to You.

i'm a believer..but am i a strong believer?

abi shared the story during the Khandak War or also known as Al-Ahzab..the war where Prophet Muhammad pbuh with the early believers dug trenches around Madinah to face the whole arab jazirah. during the digging process, sahabats came with a big boulder in the middle of the dug out trench, unable to break it down, they called the Prophet in favour of help. Prophet Muhammad hit the boulder 3 times. the first hit gave out a white colour light, where he was seen with palaces of Persia. the second hit gave a red light which was pictured with palaces of Rome and the last one was a light that lit the whole universe. (it was also believed that those red/white colour where the reason why most of nusantara countries have flags baring those colours, including some politic parties like the original PAS flag and UMNO). during this event, come out the hadith promising that Persia and Rome will be defeated by islam.
being out numbers, materially uneven and surrounded..yet given a hope of truth that islam will have its rise.
us, being in this situation, we may as well ask when! typically a clear indication of weak faith in Ar-Rasul's words. but them, the sahabats, eagerly asked which one would fall first!

thus replied 'the empire of constantine'..

upon hearing this, the sahabats dreamnt of leading the invasion army into constantine. yet, after umar al-khattab, kilafah ummaiyah, khilafah abbasiah. the city stood tall. till then came along Muahammad Al-Fatih who opened the city. after the war, he gathered all his men.standing.

"for those who has missed his fardhu prayers even once..sit down"
not one of his army sat
"for those who has missed his sunat rowatib prayers even once..sit down"
half of his army men sat
"for those who has missed his qiammullail even once..sit down"
all his men sat, but one..he him self..Muhammad Al-Fatih

it was also recorded that a hadith said that constantine will fall into the hands of a soleh army lead by the most soleh of them all. and it was true. Persia had its down fall. so true of what Ar-Rasul once said. Rome? some said that Rome is still yet to fall. the power of the west. the vatican.

and where do stand to believe its down fall? to what extend do my efforts go into the promise given by the Prophet?

Palestine..too has been honoured the promise of victory. to where does my effort go into the promise given? its no 'cakap kosong'..it will happen! and yet, i choose to where i stand. a by-stander or the one who gives his life into the efforts of freeing Al-Aqsa?

parkour? what has this helped towards reviving islam? maybe my dreams are too big..or am i not strong enough to full fill this role?

azam, irsyad, amir, ammar, amirul, siddiq, acap, abudi, amin, budak2 hira', budak2 hidayah johor..and soooo many others..what have i lead them to? being strong myself isnt good enough. i must strenghten others. and iman comes first. not physical.

"those good during their jahiliyah, will be good as muslims"..thus Allah, make this turning point. give me the chance of being a better muslim, and make me take it. grant me khusyuk in my prayers, strengthen my takwa towards You. give me strength to overcome the obstacles of live, just like You gave me phisically.

make me live a muslim, die a muslim.

"manusia,
lahirnya disambut bang,
matinya dilepaskan solat,
antara bang dan solat,
alahai hidup, alangkah singkat"

in this short life..how much have i given for islam? how much have i ambitioned the promises of Ar-Rasul and You? questions never seem to be answered each time i review them...

usrah 12

2008-04-08T08:59:00.000-07:00

hahaha..planning to post next week but got interested just now, so didnt want to hesitate..i'm eventually putting 'fa' to practice..^_^

had an usrah session just now with akh Riza at his house in UNITEN. it was raining heavily but 6 of us managed to make it, but i got there after the tadarus session.hohoho..bilal, asrol, uqasyah, ali and syafiq..

alhamduliLlah, the tafsir was on surah ad-Dhuha..many interesting points discussed, but the main event was still yet to come..as akh Riza brought front Fiqh Dakwah by Al-Marhum Syeikh Mustafa Masyhur he opened up

"TEGAKKAN KELUARGA MUSLIM"

wow! i thought i was way too young for the topic..like it should be discussed in module 7 or sumthing and i'm currently in 5-6..

nevertheless, akh Riza persuaded that it was time for the topic. during the discussion, there were afew jokes i didnt understand..hahahaha..wonder why? memang sah belum sampai masa aku~

nyw, foundation of an islamic family institution starts with good individual muslims..which will then bring effects to the community hopefully building a muslim society..
7 maratib amal:
1. individual muslims
2. baitul muslim
3. islamic society
4. islamic government
5. free from invasion
6. khilafah
7. ustaziatul alam

1st step into building an islamic family would be finding the right couple. a hadith stated that amongst the criteria for a wife, one should look into her family background, wealth, looks and her deen (religion). and the deen is the one should be 1st priority..

the couple should be one who'll support the duty of a daie, also a daie her self..'sefikrah' will help this agenda even though mixed marriage (between different jamaahs..hahaha) is ok.'sefikrah' doesnt really mean same jamaah but rather both have same objectives and are willing to do whats needed to gain that objective.

the story of As-Syahid Imam Hassan Al-Banna took us into perspective where once his son was seriously ill. but he had a talk to deliver. as he was about to departure from his house, his wife asked what will she do if the son dies (or sumthing like that)..As-Syahid replied, "his grandfather will know where to bury his body".

2nd things is that in building a family, one should always realize that its not about breeding! for those who understand the responsibility of reviving the Khilafah System should always be objective oriented as quoted from ustaz Salam. thus, 'menjaga kemandirian spesis' or 'naluri kemanusiaan' is nothing to be compared to building future generation of daies who'll continue to revive the system once ruled 2/3 of the world.

take the 1st hadith of 'matan arbain' (hadith 40), on niat or intention.."..those who perform hijrah for the sake of Allah and His messenger will gain Allah's blessings, but for those who perform hijrah for the sake of dunia (world) will get only that.."

really up to us to decide..

3rd point would be to be helpfull towards each other. be supportive. urge good doings. (see..my lazy mood is on..suddenly..hahaha)

all in all..benefited from tonights session very much indeed.
'islamic family institution'..i'm in one..but will i build one? or 2? or 4? hmmmmm~

Daurah Penggerak IPTDHL

2008-04-06T22:16:00.000-07:00

fuh, alhamduliLlah..finished my final 2nd year exam last thursday. its a good feeling to be back writing on this blog after all the chaos happening since earlier this semester with elected as vice president of rowing club, ajk MPP, SERIKANDI 2008 and the struggle to gain back my 3pointer..

i read at some webpage quoting "if Allah brings you to it, He'll take you through it"..thus insyaAllah, i do pray i can get back my scholarship next semester.just to lessen the burden my family's shouldering and spend it more on my madu's.

so, to celebrate..celebrate? boleh laa..i attended a daurah session with syafiq. earlier on, i wanted to bring along gg and mel but wasnt the right module yet! so till next time aight guys.

on the way, syafiq messaged akh Riza, my naqib, informing that we were on our way to the program not knowing that he was actually the speaker.later on that program, he told that he was away to China since last thursday (which i didnt know, sebab ponteng usrah~hoho..tak ah, busy study) and only managed to send sms'es abroad with only 6sens.so in the end, only Bilal got the news of the program, while Syafiq and me through akh Aizuddin. frankly speaking, thats how Allah plans His servant's journey..

upon our arrival at Masjid UKM, we met akh AKAD who was performing his tahiyatul masjid and dhuha prayers. very dedicated and istiqamah with his ibadah. and i could strongly say that he's one of those who walks their talks even though with a little disadvantage since his brain surgery last 8 years or so.

the morning session was on Dakwah Fardhiyah and Ciri2 Daie..Dakwah Fardhiyah was discussed based on As-Syahid Syeikh Mustafa Masyhur's writing. amongst the points taken were;

1. TAARUF.berupaya membina hubungan yang baik dan akrab dengan madu'. hmmm..been doing this but so little outcomes. but i'm greatful for the ones that stick. after this, must make this one a big priority so the ones that stick will stick forever! i'd like to share one of my practice with juniors, is that i give them my used text books..lend them my notes, which had to be returned to me at the end of the semester..and also find 2nd hand books for them. in certain way, they feel much appriciated.

2. BANGKITKAN IMAN. not only we hang out together, but i do need to inject them with curiosity on the situation the ummah is in. akh Riza shared the idea of throwing rethorical question like when we join them to eat, we ask a question to trigger the mind like "ape ek orang palestine sekarang tengah makan?"..

akh Riza also quoted a verse form the Quran, surah Muddathir: "wahai orang yang berselimut, bangunlah dan berilah peringatan". this was related to the Ikhwanul Muslimeen who raised their awareness and pioneereed the call to regain back the khilafah system. it only took them 4 years. (1924 the down fall of khilafah - 1928 the uprise of IM)

Ustaz Salam shared a tafsir of the 2nd ayah where the word 'fa' was used to bring the meaning of 'and' between 'bangunlah/awaken' and 'berilah peringatan/give preachings of the truth'. those who are quite familiar with common arab languang would use 'wa' to give the same meaning. but according to tafsir, 'fa' was to mean 'directly after without any hesitation or delay'..hummm, wonder how much time i took to just wake up..and get myself started?

3. BAIKI KEADAAN DENGAN SIBGHATULLAH. atleast the minimum of islam. halal-haram settle..yep, i noticed this since many of my madu' dont really care about their aurats. well atleast they pray, right!

4. IBADAH SYAMIL. sharing the understanding that ibadah isnt only things ritual related, or performed only at mosques..but everything done with the intention of gaining Allah's blessings are ibadah. let us try little by little.. chot, a house mate, took the initiative of sticking up mutabaah amal forms for each person of the house. yeah we ticked it inconsistently but it showed progress.
"berbondong-bondong jadi gunung,
perlahan-lahan jadi gunung Tahan" said akh AKAD that day.

5. KESEDARAN ISLAM ITU UNTUK SEMUA.

6. PENGKHUSUSAN.

7. BERJAMAAH.

ouh..sorrylah tak dapat nak elaborate. kemalasan melanda. actually this is my second time writing the same post as the previous one was unintentionally deleted.hohoho..so istiqamah ku hanya setakat ini. well, till the next post which is scheduled next week.hehehe

thiqah ku hilang kerana KAU!

2008-02-24T18:33:00.000-08:00

hurm..depression seems the only word thats lurking in my mind now..

"salam.ana rase mcm pelik je kalo akhawat yg kn tgkkn ank usrah nta.Sbb xda ikhwah lain ni.Lain la kalo naqibnya ada.Ana ada cdgn.Ape kt kalo xperlu dtg."

is this how you do dakwah? #%$*!

i managed to urge my madu' into coming all the way from UNITEN..ALONE! then upon reaching surau section 15, to see nobody there..one of my madu' has been waiting there for almost 20minutes!

my fault i can't make it..to come with them..but just think! where will their thiqah be towards me after this?

i messaged two of my madu' who planned to come..but was ordered not to come for daurah..BUT THEY'VE NOT REPLIED!?

WHO THE HECK ARE YOU TO SUGGEST PEOPLE NOT TO COME FOR ISLAMIC CLASSES?

sejauh mana ikhwah/akhawat kita dalam jamaah faham batas perhubungan lelaki/perempuan?

sudahlah..JANGAN AJAK UNITEN DAURAH LAGI!

BE STRONG TO BE HELPFULL

me..emo

trying a saut the fond..still in progress to crank that little wall. insyaAllah

peace all..

2 years into parkour, i've seen so many people endulging themselves with the art..

but so rarely i come upon people whom put objectives first than appearance. so many people i meet uses their brain less than their body.

each time before we train parkour, even before putting on our training shoes..have we ever asked ourselves, "why am i training? for what is my training to be put to?"

the philosophy behind the art..what puts your training into benefits for yourselves and others..

BE STRONG TO BE HELPFULL

to what extend do we train to be strong?

at what basis will our training be helpfull?

parkour doesn't only trains the body..but it also trains the mind. many people quote that parkour changes his point of view..making one see obstcales from different angles..making one think of the possiblities to tackle it

in other words, if one trains parkour correctly, understands the philosophy behind it, determined to give every thing he has into his trainings..then one who trains parkour SHOULD be wiser than those who don't.

agree?

how can some one be helpfull from parkour? is by being wise..

it's not totally about the muscles we bare to lift our bodies, jump huge gaps..its the mentality and attitude that'll help others..

STRONG MENTALLY, SPIRITUALLY, PHISICALLY

how can one say he trains parkour, but at the same time smokes cigarettes, does vandalisms, and makes his enviroment worst?

how can someone say he trains parkour, but just shuts his eyes when he sees an old lady with heavy bags trying to cross the road?

how can one claims he trains parkour, but at the same time gives bad influences and examples towards his juniors and the people around him?

to help, it comes from your intentions..and basically, if you DO train parkour, then that little intention should be pure good..and it'll help with some good mentality and attitude

Ar-Rasul, Prophet Muhammad said: "every things done starts from your intention.."

maybe we should spare time to be helpfull..or always try to be helpfull

just think back again..why i train parkour?

kerajaan melayu melaka vs kerajaan malaysia

2007-12-20T13:16:00.000-08:00

Pernahkah anda membaca Sejarah Melayu karangan Tun Sri Lanang? Sejarah Melayu memperlihatkan nilai budaya, politik dan ekonomi dalam rentetan peristiwa sejarah masyarakat melayu melaka. Nilai-nilai ini selalu diperkatakan mempengaruhi perkembangan politik semasa. Pada pendapat anda, sejauh manakah kenyataan ini benar? sekiranya benar, fikirkan contoh-contoh yang berkaitan dengannya.

Tidak, saya tidak pernah membaca Sejarah Melayu karangan Tun Sri Lanang. Namun, saya ada membaca buku-buku sejarah perihal nusantara dan buku terbaru ialah karangan Dr. Hafidzi Mohd Noor bertajuk "Jejak Risalah Di Nusantara jilid 1: Zaman Pra Islam Hingga Era Pelayaran Muhammad Cheng Ho". Berdasarkan pembacaan dan pendapat saya, amalan politik semasa kerajaan Malaysia tidak banyak dipengaruhi nilai-nilai yang menjadi amalan Kerajaan Melayu Melaka. Lantas dengan itu,pandangan saya, jika nilai-nilai dahulu tidak mempengaruhi sistem kini, begitu jugalah nilai amalan masyarakat terdahulu yang tidak menjadi amalan masyarakat di kemudian hari.

Saya katakan demikian kerana jika dilihat pada sistem perundangan sekarang lebih menekankan perlaksanaan undang-undang sivil dimana perundangan ini mendapat tempat tertinggi dalam membuat penghukuman. Sedangkan di zaman kerajaan Melayu Melaka, asas perundangan yang diguna pakai adalah bertunjangkan hukum-hakam syariah. Di sini kita lihat adanya hukuman pagi perlakuan zina, mencuri dan membunuh berlandaskan apa yang diwahyukan Allah kepada manusia berlandaskan Al-Quran. Oleh kerana sistem penghukuman yang dilaksanakan berbeza, sudah semestinya ia menghasilkan suasana yang berbeza dalam masyarakat melayu melaka berbanding hari ini. Nilai menghukum berlandaskan material (dikenakan hukuman dengan membayar wang ringgit) tidak mampu membina kesedaran dalam masyarakat kerana ia mudah diperolehi malahan pengajaran yang mungkin diterima masyarakat, kesalahan itu boleh diperbetulkan dengan wang ringgit. yang lebih menakjubkan, hukum perundangan melayu melaka terlaksana dalam susur-galur masyarakat yang berbilang kaum hasil penghijrahan mereka ke Tanah Melayu dari negara asal, Kerajaan Melayu Melaka masih tetap mampu mengecapi era kegemilangannya dengan dinobatkan sebagai pelabuhan antarabangsa, pusat pengumpulan ilmu dan juga mengembangkan pengaruh kekuasaannya ke kawasan sekitar. Maka, apa yang dilaksanakan kerajaan sekarang tidak dipengaruhi nilai perundangan asal, kerajaan Melayu Melaka, kerana sistem yang diguna pakai lebih kepada sistem perundangan yang diamalkan kerajaan barat yang pernah menjajah Tanah Melayu, British.

Seterusnya, dari sudut politik perlantikan pimpinan kerajaan, terdapat perbezaan besar kerana dahulunya menggunakan kaedah monarki dan kini kita menggunakan sistem demokrasi. Sistem monarki sering dianggap sebagai satu sistem yang agak zalim terhadap rakyat dan lebih meletakkan status pimpinan itu lebih eksklusif, tetapi pada pendapat saya, ia mampu membawa satu corak pentadbiran yang mantap jika ia dilaksanakan dengan betul. Jika kita kaji semula sejarah pengislaman kesultanan nusantara, ianya dipelopori para pendakwah dan syeikh-syiekh yang terkemuka dalam dunia kebangkitan Islam di nusantara. Ramai para alim ulama ditempatkan didalam istana agar menjadi rujukan mudah oleh sultan, begitu jugalah kerajaan Melayu Melaka bermula dengan Islamnya Parameswara sebagai perintis kerajaan Melayu Melaka. Tidak mungkin seorang anak raja dibiarkan sedang ayahnya, sang sultan, mendapat didikan agama. Oleh yang demikian, pada pandangan saya, sistem monarki yang diamalkan dahulu mampu menjana kesinambungan kepimpinan islam dalam kerajaan Melayu Melaka yang lebih tersusun kerana itulah matlamat yang hendak dicapai melalui penyerahan kuasa pentadbiran lama kepada pentadbiran baru. Walaupun begitu, sistem demokrasi yang menjadi amalan pilihan kerajaan Malaysia menempatkan kekuasaan pimpinan kepada rakyat. Keadaan ini agak goyah kerana corak pemerintahan akan datang ditentukan melalui tahap kesedaran masyarakat semasa. Jika masyarakat ketika itu rendah moralnya, maka pemerintah yang bakal dinaikkan juga besar kemungkinan mengalami keruntuhan moral yang sama dan ini sangat membimbangkan. Oleh yang demikian, sistem politik kerajaan Melayu Melaka meletakkan objektif sebagai sandaran penerusan pemerintahan iaitu islam, sedangkan sistem politik kerajaan Malaysia kini meletakkan objektif penerusan pimpinan hanya sebagai satu program yang perlu diteruskan dan diamalkan.

Menerusi aspek tulisan dan bahasa, masyarakat kini sangat jauh ketinggalan dari aspek memartabatkan penulisan dan penggunaan bahasa kebangsaan. Lebih dahulu kita lihat aspek penggunaan tulisan. Pada zaman kerajaan Melayu Melaka, tulisan dinobatkan sebagai satu medium perantara yang formal hinggakan ketika kedatangan portugis ke Tanah Melayu, portugis berurusan dengan sultan melalui surat dengan menggunakan tulisan jawi. Ini menunjukkan nilai yang tinggi dalam memartabat tulisan bangsa. Sedang kini, tulisan jawi hanya dapat kita lihat dalam sisipan-sisipan surat khabar yang masih cuba untuk memartabatkan penggunaannya. Manakala dari perspektif penggunaan bahasa melayu, bahasa melayu berjaya dinobatkan sebagai lingua franca iaitu menjadi sebahagian daripada bahasa pertuturan dunia. Walaupun kejayaan ini banyak depengaruhi status Melaka sebagai pusat perdagangan dunia, ia tidak akan berjaya sebagai lingua franca jika bangsa yang menuturkannya tidak menobatkan sendiri penggunaan bahasa melayu dalam kehidupan seharian. Hal ini bercanggahan pula dengan situasi sekarang dimana bahasa melayu semakin dikikis penggunaannya malahan dianggap sebagai tidak mampu untuk menjana kejayaan negara. Oleh kerana masyarakat Malaysia sendiri tidak mempertahankan penggunaannya, maka tidak mustahil satu hari nanti, bahasa pengantara negara bakal bertukar kepada bahasa inggeris, yang juga bahasa mereka yang pernah menjajah kita. Tidak saya nafikan bahawa penggunaan bahasa inggeris penting namun, kejayaan hanya mampu kita kecapi jika apa yang kita punyai dinobatkan dengan menggunakannya. Tulisan dan bahasa merupakan identity sesebuah bangsa, jika ia ditarik penggunaannya, ia umpama buah-buahan tanpa kulit.

Secara keseluruhan, yang dilaksanakan kerajaan Melayu Melaka dahulu tidak banyak mempengaruhi corak pentadbiran sekarang. Dan corak pentadbiran banyak mempengaruhi suasana dalam masyarakat. Apa yang boleh saya ringkaskan, Zaman kerajaan Melayu Melaka adalah zaman kerajaan Melayu Melaka manakala zaman hari ini adalah ketentuan hari ini. Namun jika kita hendak mengecapi kejayaan sebagaimana kerajaan terduhulu mengecapinya, tidakkah perlu kita belajar dari sejarah?

tafahhum

2007-12-16T06:13:00.000-08:00

dalam2 kita rase kite faham, masih banyak lagi yang kite tak faham..walaupun melalui tarbiyah, kita sudah capai satu tahap pemahaman yang membolehkan kita mengambil tindakan, namun, dalam kefahaman itu ada konsep sabar. kite takkan faham tanpa sabar

dah 3 minggu dilanda gelojak jiwa berkenaan tarbiyah, apa yang nak dicapai..dan apa yang perlu kita capai. yang nak dicapai, sudah semestinya jelas..islam dan mengembalikan sistem kepada yang hak. apa yang perlu kita (sebagai ahli sistem) capai..sifat sabar

sabar,

komponen yang mungkin kita nampak berdiri di luar atau di lapangan kerja..sabar berdakwah, sabar di'turn down'kan madu', sabar meniti jalan panjang, sabar, sabar, sabar..
tapi satu daripada banyak2 sabar itu sahaja yang mampu bentuk kerja dakwah, yang mampu buat kita up balik setelah di downkan, yang mampu istiqamahkan kita terus berjuang..

Sabar dalam jamaah,

tanpanya mungkin kita akan mampu pergi jauh..tapi berkatkah ia? yang pasti, biar apapun keputusan syura, ia pasti ada keberkatan dalamnya

terima kasih umi abi,
dalam banyak yang abang faham, masih banyak lagi yang abang tak faham.

usrah?

2007-12-10T05:12:00.000-08:00

usrah..mender tuh?
dah lamer aku ikut usrah..tapi, berjayakah ia membentuh peribadi muslim aku? keperibadian yang diperlukan untuk memimpin ummah?

ustaz atif kater waktu gathering penggerak uniten, usrah tuh bukan program..ia sistem..macam keluarga, ia bukan program keluarga..tapi usrah tuh sistem keluarga, yang mana ahlinya terikat dengan ikatan aqidah, melangkaui ikatan darah.

yeah, ia pilihan aku..i choose untuk di'usrah'kan and i choose to urge others to join in..

why? because i need to bring back the khilafah..through this, can i obtain that big agenda..it's not the only way..but it's a way..so this usrah method is no kidding! no play! not to be taken lightly!

so please, hear me out..ask yourselves..these usrahs i lead, this usrah i follow, those usrahs i put under my supervision, those usrah my fellow friends bring up...will it all be wasted? the time used, the money given, the effort poured..

i see the importance of the system..but i sometimes ponder, do the ones up there really know the importance? DO THEY?! or is this usrah just a thing every so called islamic jamaah has to have?

be objective oriented! what do you actually want haaa?

shuffle us like cards, kick us like balls!

i'm fed up~yet to get better explainations..till then, fed up

HIDUP INI 1 PENdakiAN

2007-11-26T16:35:00.000-08:00

Depression, frustration, inferior…these are amongst the words thats lingering my mind since yesterday.

The academic result for sem1 was out, and it turn out not so good for me..thinking about blaming others, blaming facts I cant control, blaming situations I’ve been in, blaming things I’ve done..but I do realize, pointing fingers wont solve the fact I failed to achieve 3.00 for my GPA.

Actually, today, I’m supposed to bring my brother and some friends to batang kali and enjoy ourselves some hot bath in the hot spring there..but I woke up this morning feeling sooooo low, I wish nothing else than just suffer myself training on parkour to ease up the tension built. Yeah..hope sweating will lighten it up a little..hopefully

Some times when these times do come, I usually give out “yer la, ko buat keje dakwah..handle usrah..gi program..tu yang ko takder mase nak blajar macam member2 ko yang lain..,” but things will just sudden strike me with what Musab Sahrim once said: “dakwah jangan dijadikan alasan kita tak excel dalam academics…sebab tuh memang tanggungjawab kita..dua2 nya tanggungjawab..so both have equal priority..”

When I reflect myself, its not about my activism that lags me behind..it never was..infact, I see a direct proportional line between my academic achievements and my involvements in jamaah’s work. Maybe I didn’t strive hard enough during my previous semester handling usrah, maintaining good relationships with ikhwahs, making jamaah’s program big priorities..even taking care of my parents..i see many things I should have done, but took the other path instead

We are given choices, our takdir was never rigidly set that’s that..but we’ve been given choices to do or not to do..and hopefully, I have that better understanding of what’s priority and what I should just stay away from..I have a big agenda..A VERY BIG UMMAH'S AGENDA TO SETEL…

And time is running out..

p/s:nantilah tulis pasal PPN, tak der mood giler

sensitivity? where has it gone? (old post)

2007-11-21T00:10:00.000-08:00

Jika kita kembalikan sejenak buah fikiran kita kembali ke 1924..bagi yang masih ingat atau yang sensitive akan isu ummat nya, maka terus benak pemikiran terpanggil untuk mengingati zaman kejatuhan khilafah uthmaniah, dan seterusnya kejatuhan era kekuatan muslimeen satu persatu. Mengapa jadi begitu? Sedangkan we all know that those were the time that the muslimeens were ahead in the world civilization..and amongst those who were undeniable of their powers..? what made us go down? If we go back to those days..we were like current leading countries like America or even japan…we’re ‘high tech’, we’re educated, infact, the west acknowledged our achievements, I may say that we’re wealthy, we’ve got big battalions of armies; land and sea, the world listens to us, and so on..what more can I say? We’ve got all we need to survive..but what was lack that made us drop like nangka busuk?

Talking of this isu, semua tahu, kita jatuh sebab tak amalkan suruhan Allah..tak ikut syariat..mungkin ujian kesenangan buat kita leka..statistic iman ummat ketika itu mencatatkan penurunan hingga paras bahaya..dan sebagainya kalau nak ikut skema jawapan buku2 tesk di sekolah dan jugak universiti..amnya melalui subject2 pendidikan islam..but all those are schematic answers..we’re given answers that we think is enough, but is all this answers enough? Is this how it all began? I’m in no doubt there’s more..

Beyond what secular books tells us..beyond secular teachings..It’s our lack of sensitivity that triggered this..and to this factor again, our ummah is heading a deeper fall from the past..
Mungkin ada yang tak nampak lagi perkaitan sinsitif dengan era kejatuhan ummah..

Tapi ana simpulkan begini..kerna tak sinsitif nya kita akan amalan kita, iman kita menurun, kebergantungan pada Allah sudah mula goyah, hubungan saudara/kawan sudah tidak berlandaskan ukhuwah fillah malah demi keseronokkan dan sekadar mengisi masa lapang..from one step to the other, lack of sensitiveness played it’s role..

Ambil contoh mudah…kerna tak peka akan azan, atau tak sensitive dengan seruan azan (tak terpanggil menyahutnya) kita jadi leka dengan aktiviti yang kita tengah buat termasuk menulis artikel nih, jadi malas nak ke surau/masjid, tinggal solat jamaah, tak merapatkan hubungan dengan ahli kariah masjid..and so on..sensitiveness has a big role in our live, and also in the lives of our past brothers and sisters…

Firstly, kita lihat kesan kepekaan..ana ambil contoh dari buku catatan seorang Ulama’ Aceh..yang kisahnya dapat dari ayah ana..
Ketika Aceh di serang belanda, tak lama selepas kejatuhan melaka ke tangan portugis, masih terdapat sesetengah penduduk yang tak tahu akan implikasi di jajah puak kapitalis..Bagi sesetangah ulama’ di aceh ketika itu mereka masih mengajar di pondok2 pengajian fardhu ain..macam solat, puasa, apa itu zakat dan cara mengerjakan haji contohnya..
Di ketahui umum, dalam suasana jihad..persoalan/pendidikan sebegini tidak menjadi priority, tetapi persoalan dan pendidikan jihad itu yang perlu di utamakan..seperti teknik perang, meniupkan ruh jihad dalam jiwa para mujahideen..ana tak nak kata ulama’ macam nih salah..tapi sebab tak sensitive akan isu ini (dijajah) maka mereka hilang priority, fikiran itu tak jauh mengenang nasib generasi akan datang..
Ana katakan, sebab kurang peka, kita hilang hala tuju dan keutamaan.

Take another example from the seerah of tabi’en, ketika zaman pemerintahan khilafah abbasiah (if not mistaken) ada seorang wanita berkeliaran di persempadanan wilayah islam dan rom..maka wanita tersebut telah di kacau oleh penjaga sempadan dari pihak tentera rom dan di bawa lari..maka berteriaklah mak cik tadi “wa mu’taseem, wa mu’taseem!”. Mu’taseem nih nama pemerintah ketika itu. Berita tersebut sampai ke pengetahuan khalifah, maka tanpa lengah, di utusnya surat kepada pemerintahan rom yang lebih kurang maksudnya begini “segeralah kamu melepaskan wanita tersebut, jika tidak, aku akan mengirimkan bala tentera ku yang kepalanya di negeri tuan dan ekornya di negeri ku!”..lega rasanya akhawat kita kalau perdana menteri kita, tak pon Agung berani macam tuh…ana kasi tabik spring le kalau gitu!
Begitu sensitifnya khalifah mu’taseem akan kebajikan rakyatnya serta kehormatan seorang wanita, sehingga dia sanggup mencabar satu kuasa besar dunia (rom) semata2 seorang wanita islam telah di ganggu gugat kehormatan nya..sensitivity mu’taseem telah membimbingnya kejalan yang benar dan tidak menzalimi mereka yang dipertanggung jawabkan keatasnya.

Kita lihat juga peristiwa aceh di ancam penjajahan belanda, khilafah turki uthmaniah turun hantar bala tentera yang bukan cakap kosong ramainya..begitu juga peristiwa melaka di serang portugis, aceh hantar bala tenteranya, sehingga ada kisah yang menyatakan dalam battalion tersebut ada satu rejimen yang mana semuanya balu2 dipimpin seorang tokoh ulama’ wanita aceh..begitu juga perjuangan kerajaan jayakarta yang menghantar back up..sehingga lahirnya pantun yang mahsyur dan di tuturkan para shuada.."kalau roboh kota melaka, papan di jawa kami dirikan, kalau sungguh bagai di kata, badan dan nyawa hamba serahkan"..sensitivity ummah ketika itu melahirkan bibit perjuangan dan kecintaan ukhuwah fiLlah..

All I’ve shared above are impact of sensitiveness..it’s either way around..if you’re sensitive enough, you can take the relevant steps towards a better tomorrow, or you can pay no awareness to the things going on around you and let God give you what you deserve..lack of sensitivity on the ummah is a tragic bala’..

Kita boleh kata ia satu bala bila Allah tarik dari seseorang itu perasaan malunya, dan kita tak dapat nafikan, kurang peka terhadap ummah juga satu bala..bala buat ummah..

Surah al-A’raf ayat 179 (surah ke 7)“dan sesungguhnya Kami jadikan untuk isi Neraka jahannam kebanyakkan dari jin dan manusia, mereka punyai hati, tapi tidak mahu tipergunakan untuk memahami dan mereka mempunyai mata (tetapi) tidak di pergunakan untuk melihat, dan mereka mempunyai telinga (tetapi) tidak dipergunakannya untuk mendengar. Mereka ini seperti binatang ternakkan, bahkan mereka itu lebih sesat lagi. Mereka itulah orang2 yang lalai.”
Dan benarlah kata2 Allah.Lalai..dalam erti kata lain, tak sensitive..

Marcapada kini, dunia tiada lagi sempadan…musuh2 islam tidak lagi melihat imaginary wall amongst the musleem nation a way to threat islam..mereka mula guna ‘ghuzwatul fikr’..perang pemikiran..yang benar di nafikan, yang batil di iakan..

Ana suka guna analogi ini..tapi mungkin kotor sket..“mereka kencing, kita minum, mereka berak, kita tadah”dek kerna banyak sangat minum kencing diorang nih (coca-cola, pepsi..arak apatah lagi) kita hilang sensitivity kita terhadap ummah ini..maka hilanglah hala tuju kita serta priority yang perlu di plotkan..ummah kini keliru..nak hilangkan haus ke nak berdahaga..sebab dah allergic dengan air selain brand coke..mereka masih melontarkan persoalan2 yang baseless..coke nih dibuat kat malaysia, mana ade yahudi dapat creadit..

please, brothers and sisters, think of it professionally, this is the business world..this sensitivity topic, basically triggers to what action we take..dasar kemanusiaan itu satu sensitivity, takut dosa satu sensitivity, eager untuk beramal satu sensitivity..

kalau di tempat ana (Bandar baru bangi) persatuan penduduk dah syura kan untuk memboikot semua cawangan 7-eleven..ini kerna premis2 ini telah mula menjual arak..tindakan ini diambil kerna melihat pada the “chain sin”..rantai dosa..
yang memandu lori arak, cat kilang arak, kasi billboard (advertisement) arak..semua yang menjayakan agenda arak nih..dapat bahagian dia (dosa)..apatah lagi yang masih menyokong premis2 menjual arak dari segi kewangan..walaupun tak beli arak..kita golongan intelek..fikir dan ambil tindakan cara orang intelek..

tak lain tak bukan, warkah kali ini mengajak sekalian untuk kembali sensitive..kembali untuk mengambil tahu akan yang berlaku di sekeliling kita..we have a small world, why can’t we think of others..especially those in need of our help..

dah lama sangat kita main chess..but we’ve been playing alone all this time..you can never learn how to tackle an opponents step by playing alone..let’s face them.. let’s be sensitive of our ummah’s issues..

Palestine, Chechnya, Kashmir, france, Afghanistan, iraq, iran, Syria, Egypt, moro (Mindanao), maluku, Thailand, India...lots and lots of other places where muslims are being threat..lets not make the list go on..make it stop here..lets just not sit back and just read…we all need your actions..what step will you take?

waLlahu a’lam (Allah knows best)
may Allah forgive us all for the path we’ve wrongly took, and may Him lead us to the path that leads to Him…moga sama dikarunia hidayah dan qudrat untuk melaksanakan tuntutan-Nya.

salam and peace,

whoa, i couldn't remember my last blog posting since i accidentally deleted my friendster blog account. well, lets get things started in here..i'll be posting back my previous posts which i managed to save from my 'lost blog' entries so that it'll be continuously read and hopefully the message spreads.

So, I’m a blogspot blogger from now on..do give me support to continuously fully use this medium for dakwah despite my personal experience which i intentionally will put to be viewed from islamic perspectives, insyaAllah.

Aaaa..thats all for now..have to get out and have some sun shine
