Story 2

Assalamu'alaikum.

This is another 'entry santai'. Enjoy reading!

Yesterday, after Juma'at Prayer at the university masjid, I walked back to my college. I didn't wait and chatting/reciting Al-Quran as usual as I have bundles of assignments to be done.

On my way back,I have to use a route which there is a storm drain in the middle of the route and the drain does not being covered. So,people need to jump/langkah besar to cross it.

I noticed there was a guy walking behind me from the masjid,and he was on the same way with me i.e. using the same route. He was on the phone while walking and it wasn't my interest at all to listen to the his conversation.But his voice was quite loud and I can barely listened to his words.

When I came to the storm drain I jumped across it and keeps on walking.Suddenly,something attracted me,as I couldn't hear that guy conversation who was walking behind me.I turned around and saw he was inside the storm drain! Ya Allah!(it's a storm drain and you should expect the depth of the drain.Approximately up to human chest or head)

I was standing about 10 meters from the drain and confused whether I need to help him or not.But that guy still on the phone and acting calmly and relax as if 'he is not inside the drain'.So, I keep on walking and at the same time I'll turning back after few steps to ensure he is ok.And Alhamdulillah he managed to climb out from the drain and continue chatting using his phone.

I learned something from him.If only we can take things seriously,then we will do it,no matter of any problems and obstacles.If we think solat is important,then in any situation we will not give any excuses not to perform it.In that guy's situation,calling and chatting in the phone is important enough.Although he was stumbled inside the drain,he didn't hang up the call.(very impressive on him)
(tiba-tiba teringat iklan TM Malaysia di masjid-masjid 'Tiada panggilan yang lebih penting selain panggilan Ilahi)

*I just realized that the guy was wearing 'jubah'/robe and I think it is the asbab/reason he fall inside the drain.(Tak leh nak langkah besar).(lepas ni tak mau pakai jubah dah la.Pakai kurta cukup.hehe)

Story...

Assalamu'alaikum.

How is your Ramadhan?so far so good?Did you wake up for sahur?How about Qiyamullail?Great?Alhamdulillah if everything just pretty good.Still have time for improvement,Insya Allah.

So,this Ramadhan,the University Masjid do not organize iftar jamai'e as previous Ramadhan.I mean,there is no heavy food distributed for free to the students,except for dates and 'teh tarik.'Reason?The masjid management announced that up to now,there is no donation from the 'orang-orang kaya'/rich people to sponsor for the foods.Previously,they were rich men contributed some money to the university masjid.Well,what can I say?That's it!

I met new foreign friends this Ramadhan.One is from Africa and the other one is from Indonesia.The African guy is a PhD student.Alhamdulillah,he shared a lot of things with me.The Indonesian guy is from Jawa,and it really makes me confused whether to speak Malay or English with him.I'm afraid that my slang will be totally different from his.So,I mixed up between Malay and English.It's better right?

Ok,this is a true story:

At one time,I went to my Cambodian friends' room for a visit.There were 2 Cambodians and 2 Malays in the room. (4 person per room).I spent my time chatting and eating at his compartment until at one time the Malays came to the cambodians compartment to join the talk.It was a bit awkward when these two Malays keep on speaking English with me as if I'm a Cambodian.After a few moment,I told them that it's ok to speak Malay with me.They were kind of impressed on me as they thought a 'Cambodian' can speak Malay very well.As I was telling them that I'm Malay,they were like doubt with it and keep on asking 'kau ni pure malay ke?'.They said that I have a Cambodian face and that's why they speak English with me.Hmm... (tak kisahlah muka mcm mana pun.Allah tak nilai pun)

Another story is about I've been discriminated by the University security guard.Before you can enter the campus,the security guard will check whether you're really the student of the university or not,and you need to show your matric card to them.However this rules and checking procedure is likely applicable to the foreign students.If you're entering the campus by bus,the guard will only check the foreign students' matric card and not the local students.

One day,I came in to the campus by taxi with my friend.My friend was sitting next to the taxi driver wile I was at the back.When the taxi reached the post guard (entrance),the guard stopped the taxi and looked at my friend.As my friend is a MALAY,the guard left him and come to me.He looked me in doubt and asked for my matric card.What on earth!He thought that I'm a foreigner just because I have beard and a fair skin colour?I just wanted to say to him, "Pak cik,saya ni melayu.Adakah pak cik nampak saya seperti orang arab?Kalau ye,baguslah."
So,as I don't want to create any trouble,I showed him my matric card and he allowed me enter the campus.Alhamdulillah..

That's all for now.salam.

Notes:
1)Have you ever heard a state named Alaska which is located at the northern part of USA?(sambil menjeling kepada Ing.hehe).tak de apa-apa..Abaikan je..

2)I'm planning with one of my classmates to organize an iftar among some of my classmates (brothers only) at the university masjid.

3)I've met my supervisor for my dissertation and she's willing to guide and help in in completing my dissertation.She's like 'wow I like your topic.Your topic is interesting.Alhamdulillah.But it is actually a spontaneous topic and I need to rethink again whether to proceed with it or not.This morning,my studio master said that there are some lecturers from other departments who are willingly available to be our supervisor.And I just like, 'ha?la..awat tak habaq mai awai-awai.'
From the very beginning I was plan to take 1 of the lecturer from the department of Architecture to be my supervisor as my interest is focusing on islamic compliance and yet it is that particular lecturer expertise.I like his style and way of thinking. (I was his student during the 1st year).He is an Assoc.Prof from Bosnia Herzegovina..Hmm..Kena istiqarah ni..

PUTERA-PUTERI HARAPAN

Putera-puteri MATRI,

Dalam usiamu yang masih REMAJA,

Jadilah anak yang soleh buat kedua ibu bapamu,

Kelak,andai sudah DEWASA,

Jadilah insan yang meringankan beban mereka.

Andai telah bergelar ibu bapa pula,

Didiklah anakmu sehingga dia tidak gentar,

Menjadi pendokong DEENULLAH..

Putera-puteri yang dipayungi Rahmatullah,

andai engkau belum berkahwin,

Janganlah pula engkau risaukan jodohmu.

Ingatlah putera-puteriku,

Jangan mulakan sebuah pertemuan dengan mereka yang bukan mahram.

Kerana dikhuatiri,

DARI MATA JATUH KE HATI

Maka lahirnya SENYUMAN,

Maka tercetusnya SALAM,

Dan sekaligus dengan PERTEMUAN,

Takut-takut lahir pulalah nafsu kejahatan yang menguasai diri..

Oleh itu putera-puteri,

Jagalah pandanganmu,

Peliharalah akhlaqmu,

Kuatkanlah pendirianmu,

Demi mendamba CINTA HAKIKI,

Bukan meraih KASIH INSANI,

Cukuplah hanya CINTA ALLAH memenuhi dan

menyinari kekosongan jiwamu,

Biarlah hanya CINTA ibu bapamu,

Yang memberi kehangatan kebahagiaan buat dirimu.

Cukuplah sekadar CINTA adik beradik dan kekeluargaan,

Yang membahagaiakan dirimu...

Putera-puteri,

Ketahuilah,

Harapan membangunkan ummah terletak di bahumu,

Jangan biarkan dirimu ditipu SYAITAN durjana,

Jangan biarkan dirimu terpedaya oleh GELORA NAFSU,

Sungguh apa yang ada di sisi ALLAH itu adalah lebih baik.

Seandainya kalian mengetahui,

Bersama-samalah kita terus berusaha mendidik diri dan hati,

Agar SERASI dan SECOCOK dengan

ISLAM DEENULHAQ.

Putera-puteri harapan MATRI,

Bumi MATRI hanyalah tapak semaian,

Untuk kita didik dan islahkan diri,

Jangan biar tergolong dikalangan mereka yang rugi,

Buka dan serahkanlah sepenuh hatimu,

Demi mengutip mutiara-mutiara tersurat dan tersirat..

Putera-puteri harapan ISLAM,

CINTAILAH ALLAH dikala SUSAH dan SENANG,

Kerana kau akan memperoleh cinta daripada insan yang mencintai-NYA juga,

CiNTAILAH KEDUA IBU BAPAMU,

Kerana kau akan mendapat KEREDHAAN ALLAH.

Putera-puteri,

Pastikanlah,

Imanmu tidak goyah,

Sekalipun menentang arus jahiliyyah,

Walaupun begitu sukar dan payah,

Biarlah hatimu sentiasa tawakkal dan pasrah..

MUSIM- MUSIM YANG BERLALU

Akan tiba masanya

Suria kan tersenyum kembali

Burung-burung kan berkicau riang

Rama-rama kan bebas berterbangan

Dan bunga-bunga kan menampakkan serinya

Menghiasi taman rumpun menghijau

Setelah musim demi musim berlalu

Mendung memuramkan suasana

Akan tiba masanya

Hujat rahmat kan membasahi semua

Pucuk-pucuk muda kan bangga menyerlah

Dan rumput-rumputan pasti menjalar megah

Bagaikan hamparan permaidani sutera

Setelah musim demi musim berlalu

Kemarau panjang mendahagakan dunia

Akan tiba masanya

Hati yang keras kan lembut semula

Jiwa yang engkar kan lebur akhirnya

Bila hembusan ilahi membelai mesra

Pemilik sekeping hati bernama manusia

Setelah musim demi musim berlalu

Dalam belantara ngeri tersesat ia...

Complains?

Assalamu'alaikum.

Alhamdulillah, Allah has given the opportunity for me to sahur as usual like the previous Ramadhan without facing any difficulties.

Although right now I'm suffering for sore throat,but who am I to complain for the sickness?I'm fortunate enough compared to our brothers and sisters in Gaza.

I've read an article about this Ramadhan in Gaza.They have no electricity,lack of foods and many of them are jobless and couldn't feed their families.However their faith to Allah never ended.They have a strong soul and faith.

In other part of the globe,our brothers and sisters need to fast in the non-islamic environment.They have been oppressed,tortured etc. but they still practising what they believe i.e. Islam.Without no fear and doubt,they hold strong of their faith.How about us?

Here in Malaysia we make fast for about 13 hours and yet many of us complaining many things.Too hot,not enough rest etc.Even some students are excuses from attending the class due to tiredness.What a wreck!I heard the Muslims in Finland need to fast for about 20 hours + they're fasting in the environment which didn't encourage them to do so.

Ramadhan....




Why we're always looking for excuses and complaining here and there?Didn't we taking the 'ibrah from the battle of Badr?The great battle which was happened during the Holy month of Ramadhan.How were the Muslims at that time?Were they complaining to the beloved Prophet Muhammad Sallallahu 'alaihi wassalam?

What happened to this generations?~Lemah,lembik dan suka complain.

A great Muslim scholar once said:

"Zaman satu bangsa yang hina

Tidak pernah sunyi dari ilmuan,sasterawan dan ahli yang arif bijaksana

Mereka dipecahbelakan dengan pelbagai ideologi

Tetapi semua ideologi itu tertumpu kepada satu rencana:

Mereka ajar anak singa menjadi kijang yang pengecut

Dan mereka hapuskan kisah-kisah singa pada bicara zaman silam

Cita-cita mereka,menggembirakan hamba dengan perhambaan

Seluruh pengajaran mereka hanyalah penipuan cendiakawan

Inilah generasi baru kita wahai putera puteriku

Mereka itu adalah anak-anak singa yang bertukar menjadi kijang yang pengecut

Sebenarnya mereka itu adalah putera puteri muslim yang merdeka

Mereka diperhambakan,lalu mereka bergembira."

Wallahu'alam..

Moga madrasah Ramadhan dapat mentarbiyyah kita menjadi mu'min yang bertaqwa.
Sama-sama kita tingkatkan amalan perhambaan kita kepada Rabb Teragung,Allah dengan bersungguh-sungguh.

Andai kata ini Ramadhan terakhir buat kita,mohonlah pada Allah agar diterima segala amalan agar di akhirat kelak,kita punya asset untuk dipersembahkan di hadapan Allah.

Marilah menjadi hamba yang bersyukur..

Stress?Yes I am

Assalamualaikum..

Ketika post ini ditulis,I'm in stress mode.Why?

1)I've spent a week looking/finding for my Dissertation topic.Alhamdulillah last night just managed to jot down the field of research I'm interested in.Then,made a few outlines + read few journals to support my idea.I have to met my lecturer and consult with her about my topic and ask her to guide me further.

Unfortunately,this morning she wasn't in her room.I walked all the way from my room to the Faculty around 8.40am and it was nothing..Hmm..Allah memang nak uji.-a bit stress.

2)Work loads seem to be increased from time to time.Rasa macam nak vomit pun ada jugak.
Stress lagi.



So,if lepas-lepas ni I'm not in good mood,please understand my situation.Or if you cakap dengan I,and suddenly I couldn't focus and melihat anda seperti tembus ke belakang,maksudnya otak I dah ada dekat lain.Sori..

Ok,tukar topic sikit.

If you asked me,kamu ni anak jati mana?I have no answer for that.I was born in one place but keep on berpindah-randah.Tapi,dah lama di Kedah.So,can I say I'm a Kedahan?And for sure,I have the spirit of anak-anak kedah.(Macam puak-puak sikit la..hehe)

Hari tu time counselling class,ada la ta'aruf sikit.The instructor keep on asking in detail if someone kata dia dari Kedah.So,I suspected he is also from Kedah,and I was right on that.Orang SP.hahaha..Time I introduced myself,and telling the whole class that I'm from Kuala Nerang,Kedah he said, "Woih! Hulunya hang!"
Hampeh betol.Memang tak dinafikan la agak hulu.And I just noticed that there is a girl in my class (From Human sciences department,If I'm not mistaken) who is also from Kuala Nerang.Tiba-tiba terasa ada 'geng'.Weh,orang-orang Kuala Nerang walau hulu, masuk University jugak tau! Jangan main-main dengan geng Kuala Nerang.Hehehe.

Ada la budak dari Changloon,Aloq Staq etc.

Ok,tu je.Post ni versi orang tengah stress...

Note:
1)Tonight will be departing to Kelantan.Please pray for me.Pi kelantan,tapi otak dok dekat assignments.hehe

2)Thanks to my sahabat for reminding me on the importance of sunat Dhuha.Jgn lupa doa untuk ana jugak.

3)Someone asked me to represent IIUM for lari ape ntah.dengar mcm MALAKOF tapi short form untuk apa,ntahla.Sabtu ni di UPM.Hehehe tiba-tiba terasa macam I'm the superhero Flash.Weh,bukan senang nk wakil UIA lari2 ni.But I'm at Kelantan at that time,so kena tolak la pelawaan tu.(tapi dalam hati masih menaruh harapan yang tinggi menggunung untuk berlari mewakili UIA..hehe)

ok,Wassalam..
Hari ni hari jumaat.Jom baca surah Kahfi.

Ahlan wa sahlan Ya Ramadhan

Assalamu'alaikum.

"Allahumma Bariklana fi Rajab wa sya'ban,wa balighna Ramadhan"

"Ramadhan,awwaluhu rahmah,wa ausatuhu maghfirah,wa akhiruhu itqun minnan naar"

"Man soma Ramadhan imaanan wa ihtisaban,ghufiralahu ma taqaddama li zanbih" (betul ke ayat ni?)

"Celakalah mereka yang apabila Ramadhan telah berlalu,namun padanya tiada perubahan (kebaikan)"

There was a story of 1 guy asking his friend a question,"how're we going to 'khusyuk' in solah?"

So,his friend answred,"Before solah,stand straight.Remember,Allah is watching you.Keep focus and don't forget to recite surah An-Naas so that you'll be away from the whisper of Devils."

Then,the guy who asked the question replied,"You're right,but it's not precise.Actually,to get khusyuk in solah,your daily activities must always have the connection with your Rabb.It's impossible for you to khusyuk during your solah which only last for about 5 to 10 minutes if let say the rest of your time i.e 22 hours were spent with sins.Those sins will be affecting your solah.
Thus,in order for you to get khusyuk in solah,your daily routine need to be attached to Rabb at all time.As,the result,Insya Allah you'll gain khusyuk.In the mean time,solah will take care of your daily routine i.e. avoiding from sins".-It's kind of give and take;Solah perfecting the life while the life perfecting the solah.(Get what I mean?)

So,let us relate this story to the month of Ramadhan which will be coming soon.Do you think you can totally change (to good) after Ramadhan?Are you really depending on this month to tarbiyyah your soul?How about the rest of 11 months?What have you spent for?That is why,after Ramadhan,people still keep on continuing doing sins and didn't 'change' as he should be.Why?Because Tarbiyyah only happens in the month of Ramadhan.Don't expect Ramadhan to change your attitude if you,yourself didn't Tarbiyyah yourself for the rest of 11 months.-It same goes like how to khusyuk in solah.

Wallahu'alam..Let us ponder upon.

I really enjoyed celebrating Ramadhan in this university.Hopefully this coming Ramadhan (I assume it would be my last Ramadhan here..Isk3..)will give me a big impact to my soul and life.

Still remember during my 1st,2nd and 3rd years.Everyday I 'iftar' at the University Masjid.I met lot of new friends especially the foreign students.Malays seldom 'iftar' at Masjid.I met Ibrahim from Algeria who is a Master student in Law during 'iktikaf.He is a good friend of mine.Yasin from Madinah.Emrah from Turkey,Haitham from Jeddah and many more.

Hmmm...What a sweet memories.Listening to the Tazkirah after Tarawih delivered in Arabic (of course fushah)by Arab lecturers.

Sometimes received an invitation from my foreign friends for iftar at their room.Very kind of them.(Ade sekali tu iftar di bilik kawan orang Madinah.Iftar dengan kawan2 dari Turki etc.Lepas makan tamar,n nak solat maghrib,diaorang ni cepat2 je buat line and terus qamat.Then,main tolak2 sape jadi imam.So,disebabkan saya ni kecil and tak sempat nak berdiri dalam saff dek ditolak-tolak,maka mereka pun terus tolak saya jadi imam.Teringat zaman2 kat MATRI dulu.Imam main tolak2..hehe.Rupa2nya orang-orang arab pun sama ja mcm kita.Cuma rasa mmg tak layak sebab most of them are 'hafiz')

Till then..

Note:
Jemputan ke SKEMA (Seminar Kesejahteraan Mahasiswa)
Tarikh:8 Ogos 2010
Tempat:Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan Jalan Duta

Gerenti best,Insya Allah.Ada slot untuk Palestin yang akan disampaikan oleh Ustaz Noorazman Shamsuddin.Jom hadir!

I'll be leaving to Kelantan this weekend.Ada 'hal' to b settled sikit.Doakan agar dipermudahkan..Ameenn.. (tiba2 rasa gabra..dup dap dup dap.Ya Allah permudahkanlah)

Siapa patut stress?

Assalamu'alaikum.

Yesterday,on the way ke cafe after Maghrib,saya berselisih dengan salah seorang kawan arab.Mula-mula tu ingat nak ignore je sebab dia tengah khusyuk berbual dengan kawannya yang juga arab.Saya tak mahu ganggu perbualan orang.But suddenly,dia panggil saya.

So,mahu tak mahu saya pun berpatah balik pergi kepadanya.(sambil buat muka innocent.Kononnya tak notice kehadirannya di situ..Jangan tiru perangai ini)So,he introduced me as his Best Malaysian's friend.(terharu sedikit)Kawan dia tu terus tanya saya,"Speak Arabic?"

So,saya yang tak mau cari penyakit terus reply,"Oh,no no.Just English"..Malangnya,Kawan Arab saya ni dengan konfidennya kata kat kawan dia,"Oh,he is not telling the truth.He can speaks Arabic very well."

Saya pulak dengan terkejutnya statement kawan saya tu terus terus la menafikan,namun kawan dia tu lebih mempercayai kawannya lantas terus bercakap Arab dengan saya.

Ok,selama lebih kurang 10 minit dia dok 'prom pram prom pram'(istilah kedah untuk orang yg ala2 beletiaq or dok begebang sakan),sepatah habuk pun saya tak paham.Kenapa?Sebab dia guna Arab 'ammiy.(Arab pasar/tak formal)..And he expect saya paham.Yang kawan arab saya pulak rilek je..Setelah berdiam diri agak lama,ditambah dengan stress sebab tak paham apa yang diperbualkan,saya pun menyampuk,"Asif syeikh,fushah please."

Kawan arab saya teruja dan terus kata,"wow,bilingual".

Celah mana pulak saya ni bilingual arabic n English.English n Malay boleh tahan la jugak.




So,dia pun cakap la fushah.Alhamdulillah paham pun apa yang dia dok sembang tadi.So,ada la chance sampuk-sampuk sikit.(buat2 poyo terror arab la konon).Dalam 5 minit dia dok cakap fushah,dia menjerit,Arggghhh!!!

Dia kata dia stress.Susah nak cakap fushah.Kena dok cari perkataan2 formal.So,dia mintak excuse untuk guna 'Ammiy semula.So,saya pun spontaneously mintak diri la.Tak kan nak jadi tugu di situ,mendengar dengan tenang walau tak paham sepatah.Baik pergi isi perut.Kebetulan memang dok lapaq dah.

On the way dok jalan,saya terfikir...Siapa yang patut stress???Saya yang tak paham ammiy or dia yang susah nak cakap fushah??

Kesimpulannya,kawan arab saya tu yang patut stress.Dia yang memandai-mandai kata saya boleh arab.Kan senang kalau cakap english dari awal..Hmmm...

*Ing,nta kena ajar ana ammiy pulak.hehehe..

Hati gelap,otak karat

Assalamu'alaikum...

Terlalu busy sehingga tak sempat nak mengaji quran..(Reasonable kah alasan tu?)Well seems like it was happening to me..

Ok,yesterday start balik mengulang hafazan di masjid time lepas maghrib.(aktiviti rutin sem-sem lepas.Well,kat MATRI pun after maghrib kan kita baca quran?so need penerusan la katakan).Baru start ngulang surah Ar-Ra'd,tersangkut.Dalam 1 muka tu,beberapa kali tersangkut.Aihh..Apa dah jadi ni?Hmm..maybe sebab surah ni baru dihafal kot dalam beberapa minggu yang lalu.So,tak masyi lagi.



After that,ngulang surah Ibrahim pulak.Tersangkut-sangkut jugak..Astaghfirullah..Apa kena ni?Dah karat ke otak ni?Teruskan juga mengulang dan alhamdulillah better dari sebelum ni.Tiba-tiba hati tergerak nak mengulang surah ali-imran.Guessed what?Lagi teruk.First page pun dah tersangkut.Sah,ada something wrong dengan otak ni.

After Isyak,rehat-rehat jap dekat column masjid.Pikir balik.Kes apakah yang telah berlaku pada diri ini?



Rupa-rupanya,bukan masalah otak.Tapi masalah hati.Biala hati kotor dan gelap,maka otak akan terjejas.Hati kena apa?Haaa...Yang itu,biar saya dan Allah sahaja yang tahu.(tak kan balasan sebab ponteng class hari tu?huhu..Bukan ponteng ek.Cari venue tak jumpa.Clashed dengan class lain.So,saya balik bilik terus.hehe)

Kesimpulannya,Celakalah orang-orang yang menghafal ayat-ayat Allah,tatapi kemudian dia melupakannya.

Nak hafal tu mudah..Setengah jam ada yang boleh satu muka or dua muka,tapi nak jaga hafalan tu macam mana?Teruk..Nak berdarah hidung ni tau dak?

Patutlah sahabat-sahabat Nabi S.A.W tak semua yang 'Hafiz'.Sebab mereka lebih nak mengamalkan ayat-ayat Allah dari dok pulun nak perabis hafal.Wallahu'alam..

*Ramadhan dah dekat,so,ada kawan-kawan yang dah start planning nak pulun habiskan Al-Quran in one month.Tergogoh-gapah nak habiskan.(Tak terkejor yop!-ayat orang Perak)So,jangan dok berebut nak habiskan.Baca elok-elok.Sat lagi dok kalut nak perabis baca,mati pulak sebab lupa nak bernafas..Tak ke haru?

Wallahu'alam.

Notes:
1)Sayangilah Al-Quran seperti mana kamu menyayangi dirimu.

2)Siapa nak ikut p kinokuniya weekend ni?

3)Celakalah orang-orang yang tak pelihara Al-Quran..Isk3...(I'm a failure lagi.Celaka?Mungkin..)

Language Barrier

Assalamu'alaikum.

Sometimes I'm facing difficulties to make friends with the International students here.I mean the new students.Most of the new students couldn't speak english very well and even cannot at all.

I like to make friends with them.Observing and learning their language,culture etc.Actually,we can see the Great of Allah The Almighty's Power where HE created us with different tribes with thousands of languages and slang.

It is actually a value added for someone who is mastering in languages.I heard before that someone told me that it is a kind of wasting time learning language as it would not help you in finding your job.Learning language is not really a critical field compared to Medicine,engineering etc.
Personally,those who can speaks more than 3 languages creates a 'wow' effect on me.Salute!

I want to figure out why I'm not really like the rest of my Malay's friends.It put a big question mark on my head.Even,my foreign's friends asking the same question.
"Why you are not like the rest of the Malays?"
"What did you mean?"

I just realized that I can easily mix up with them.When ever I went to the cafeteria,I will take my seat around my foreign friends rather than seating with Malays.Alhamdulillah,it is a gift I guessed?

One of my Arab friend once said,I'm not a pure Malay.The truth is,he's right.I'm not pure Malay.I have the Arab blood.My mom's ancestors were coming from Yamen and Persia.I think that is why I'm really attached to my tribes..hehehe

Unfortunately,It's an embarrassment that I cannot speak Arabic very well.What kind of 'Arab' if he cannot speak Arabic?I admit that I did scored in my SPM (A2)for my Arabic,but you know how the system was right?It's an exam oriented.Learning nahu,balaghah etc.just to tackle the questions.It really works for the exam but failed to make me survive.

I think,it is crucial for a Dai'e to learn other languages.(it is just my view).I've met one guy (he is a good friend of mine)who can speaks five languages i.e. Malay,English,Arabic,Mandarin,Turkish and he is planning to add few more.He is using his specialities to make friends with all people and at the same time conveying the words of Allah.

Yesterday I was asked by an Indonesian uncle at the cafe to translate for him.I used to buy foods from that uncle,thus he is kind of aware of my present and 'kindness'(perasan).He asked me to speak English with one of his customer as that uncle cannot help himself to do so.Unfortunately,the customer couldn't speak English.He speaks Thai and Arabic.I was afraid that the guy fainted if I speak Arabic with him.It will be a big disaster if I'm speaking Arabic.

Alhamdulillah,one of his friend came over and he can speaks Malay a little bit.I just feel like I'm a failure.Couldn't help people in need.hmm....How if I was at that guy's place.Being in a foreign country.Having a language barrier.Phew,it must be really a big problem especially when you need someone to show you where is the rest room.(or else you will 'do your job' in your trousers)

I've came across many situations where I was having my conversation more or less like a chicken is talking to a duck.More signals than words.Why?Because of Language barrier.Then people will ask me,"Then,why you get near to him if you have language problems?"Don't make any contact with the foreigners if you think you have the problem with your language...

Why I'm still keep on making friend with them?Because I'm an Arab.hehe (kidding.but it is true,but I'm still a malay).- Bukankah motto HALUAN,Berakhalq,mendidik dan BERBAKTI?;So I would not discriminate people whom I wanted to BERBAKTI just because of my own bad i.e language barrier.Even Islam,teaches us to be a good Muslims,and help each others.

Wallahu'alam.

*Got to go.Ada tutorial Advanced Post Contract Admin for QS..I'll be telling other stories insha Allah.Please pray for me.

Raut Wajah itu Menceritakan Sesuatu

Assalamu'alaikum..

Alhamdulillah,the Palestine Forum just finished few days ago.Sangat menyentuh hati apabila diceritakan kisah-kisah para syuhada' on board Mavi Marmara.Meng 'refleks' semula diri ini...,jauh sungguh perbezaannya.Untuk mencapai darjat syuhada' terasa tidak layak apatah lagi untuk mati,masih belum bersedia.




Tiada alasan untuk tidak berda'wah.

Kulihat raut wajah Ust Noorazman juga Dr.Syed Haleem tenang sekali.Even Dr.Syed Haleem tenang sahaja pergi makan sebelum forum bermula walaupun para komiti kelam-kabut mencari beliau.I like his style.

Penat?Ya,terpancar raut kepenatan pada wajah mereka.Namun masih mampu tersenyum dan berbual mesra.Aku kagum dengan mereka.Amanah Da'wah untuk menceritakan pengalaman dan kesedaran dipikul sehabis baik tanpa mengira kepentingan peribadi.Böyle büyük bir adam vardır!

Sudah menjadi kewajiban bagi kita untuk berjuang membebaskan bumi Palestina yang tercinta.As-Syahid Dr.Abdullah Azzam di dalam bukunya Prinsip-Prinsip Jihad ada menyebut,

"Dan salah satu kondisi (yang dapat menyebabkan hukum jihad menjadi fardhu 'ain)tersebut adalah apabila musuh telah masuk dan menyerang bumi Islam.Ketika Yahudi telah memasuki Palestina,maka jihad hukumnya Fardhu 'Ain.Demikian pula ketika gerombolan komunis Russia telah menginvasi Afghanistan,maka jihad hukumnya menjadi Fardhu 'Ain di Afghanistan.Bahkan jika kita tilik sejarah,sesungguhnya hukum Fardhu 'Ain ini tidak hanya dimulai ketika Russia menjajah Afghanistan,akan tetapi sejak pertama jatuhnya Andalusia ke tangan orang-orang Salib.Hukum ini tidak berubah hingga hari ini."

........................................

Teori dan Praktikal

Saya sedang menghabiskan bacaan sebuah buku bertajuk 'Tidak ada Alasan Bagimu Meninggalkan Da'wah',karangan Abdul Aziz Al-Aidan.Sungguh,tidak mudah dari pembacaan teori untuk dipraktikkan dalam kehidupan seharian.Mudah untuk kita berbicara tentang Da'wah,namun berpa ramai yang sanggup berkorban untuk Da'wah?

Matlamat Jangka Panjang..

Pertembungan antara matlamat jangka panjang dan pendek seringkali membuatkan saya buntu.Ya,saya dilatih untuk menjadi seorang Quantity Surveyor.Saya dilatih untuk 'membuat duit'.Saya didedahkan tentang cara investment terbaik,how to value property,even macam mana nak rasuah! atau dengan kata lainnya,kaya itu menjamin masa depan.Hati mana yang tak keruan bila berhadapan dengan wang?
Namun saya percaya dan yakin bahawa Rezeki itu dari Allah dan cukuplah bersederhana didunia ini kerana matlamat kita lebih jauh dari segala kekayaan itu.

Bila waktu kita?

Ya,Furkan Dogan seorang Pelajar berumur 19 tahun yang syahid bertemu Allah ketika ditembak oleh Tentera Zionist di atas kapal Mavi Marmara.Beliau telah berjaya.Mendapat kejayaan yang hakiki.Kita pula bila?Bersediakah?Terasa bagai langit dan bumi pabila membandingkan amal-amal saya.

Perbanyakkan 'Amal Soleh

Ramai diantara kita tertipu dengan kerja-kerja jema'ah.Kononnya,berpenat kerana jema'ah sudah memadai.Maka kita akan lihat 'manusia-manusia' ini terlalu sibuk membuat program kesedaran sehingga terlupa/tertinggal masanya untuk bersama Allah,Rabb Tercinta.Qiyamullail terlepas.Qur'an tidak ditadabbur,Al-Ma'thurat entah ke mana,bacaan-bacaan fikrah tiada masa,malah solat jema'ah juga tidak dititik beratkan.Aduh,ruginya.Ingatlah,kelak,kita dihisab secara individu.Sahabat sejema'ah juga belum tentu dapat membantu.Maka ayuhla sama-sama kita tngkatkan 'Amal kita disamping melakukan Da'wah.Peruntukkan masa-masa untuk bersama Allah.(Di samping menjaga Hubungan Dengan Allah,HDA setiap masa)

Ayuh sahabat-sahabatku,persiapkanlah diri kita.Usah kelak kita tergolong dalam orang-orang yang rugi.Peningkatan yang kecil tetapi konsisten adalah lebih baik.

Wallahu'alam

Cantiknya Penyusunan Allah

Assalamu'alaikum

Alhamdulillah hari ini Allah banyak memberi pengajaran dan bantuan kepada saya dan beberapa orang sahabat saya.

Pagi tadi saya dan dua orang sahabat saya,Suhail dan Amin pergi ke Taman Melati,Gombak.Kami ke sana bertujuan untuk mengambil supply baju palestin dan 'button/badge'yang akan dijual pada isnin malam ini. (Jemput hadir ke Program anjuran Journalism Club IIUM berkenaan Palestin)

We spent our time there for about 2 hours.Memilih baju-baju bukannya mudah.Mencari design yang menarik serta kain yang berkualiti.Alhamdulillah Allah permudahkan segalanya.Stok-stok baju dan badges ada serta kami berjaya 'negotiate' harga.

Seusai tugas di sana,kami menuju ke Setapak untuk tukar tiub tayar basikal suhail,dan Alhamdulillah,kami dipermudahkan.Mudah mendapat tempat parking kereta walaupun sesak.

Ketika sedang menukar tiub,saya mendapat message dari seorang sahabat yang lain,meminta bantuan untuk ke rumah Ustaz Wan Nahar (Senior saya di sekolah dahulu).Ustaz akan berpindah rumah hari ini dari Gombak ke Shah Alam.

Setelah berbincang dengan Suhail dan Amin,kami bersetuju untuk menghulurkan bantuan.Arahannya,berkumpul di 'rumah bujang' sahabat-sahabat Gombak jam 2.00pm
Ketika itu jam sudah pun menunjukkan pukul 1.30pm
Plan awal,untuk lunch dahulu kerana lapar,tapi kalau lunch,timing akan lari.So,kami decide untuk solat zohor dahulu dan akan terus ke rumah bujang.

Alhamdulillah seusai solat zohor,kebetulan di masjid tersebut ada nasi bungkus percuma.Pak cik-pak cik di situ menyuruh kami ambil sorang 2 bungkus untuk mengelakkan membazir.Katanya,banyak lagi ni.Orang pulak tak ramai.Tapi 1 bungkus sorang memadai.(Cover2 malu.Takut di cop tamak,kebulur dll..hehe)
Alhamdulillah Allah susun baik semuanya.Lancar.

On the Way ke Rumah bujang,kami berhenti di tepi jalan dan makan di dalam kereta.Save time.Selesai makan,kami teruskan perjalanan.Allah izin,dalam 1km sebelum tiba di rumah bujang,kereta kami terbabas.Kereta hampir terbalik.Tercondong 45 darjah.Tayar depan dah terangkat.So,dengan muka tenang,Suhail keluar dari kereta dahulu.Saya dan Amin masih berada di dalam kereta.Nak beratkan bahagian depan agar tak terus ter 'flip'kereta tu.

Alhamdulillah kebetulan ada seorang abang ni lalu naik motor.Terus dia berhenti dan hulurkan bantuan.Kami cuba tolak dan angkat,tapi tidak berjaya.Tanah lembut.Tayar tak dapat 'grip'(Dalam otak saya,nak call je tow truck)

Sedar tak sedar,sorang demi sorang datang menolong.Dalam 7 ke 8 orang berhenti memberikan bantuan.Alhamdulillah Allah memudahkan urusan kami.Kami ramai-ramai push dan angkat kereta dan Alhamdulillah berjaya.Terharu jugak bila ramai orang datang tolong.Hanya mampu salam dan ucap terima kasih banyak-banyak.

Check-check kreta,semua ok.Except bau hangit tayar.So,kami terus ke rumah bujang,walaupun sedikit lewat.(2.20pm)

Sampai di rumah ustaz,kami pun angkat-angkat barang masuk dalam lori.Yang peritnya bila nak bawak barang turun tangga.Almari,mesin basuh dan segala-gala yang 'nala' punya size.Saya,suhail dan Amin dok plan after angkat barang nak singgah makan ABC sebab dahaga sangat.Penat.(Penat tolak and angkat kreta tadi tak habis lagi)

Allah susun lagi baik.Habis angkat barang,ustaz jamu makan.Nasi Ayam + Air sarsi.(2nd round makan + free.)Alhamdulillah.Tq ustaz,nanti nak angkat barang panggil ana lagi.hehe

Habis makan,singgah rumah bujang semula.Rehat-rehat.(sakit pinggang la pulak.Bukan sbb tua ek.Baru sedar tak warming up sblm angkat barang.Pergh..Ala2 atlet tu..)

Then,proceed ke campus.Sampai IIUM pukul 7pm.Penat tapi seronok.Bersama sahabat-sahabat dapat charge iman dengan diri saya yang susah nak serious.Alhamdulillah ada Suhail dok peringat.

Pengajarannya:Allah itu Maha Mengetahui.Mintalah padaNya.Ketika disaat susah atau senang,teruskan minta.
Penyusunan Allah tu cantik.Disebalik musibah ada kemanisan.Allah nak ajar kami sesuatu.

Note:Peringatan pada nabil,kerja anda berlambak-lambak lagi tak siap.If perlu,malam ni stay up.Minit Mesyuarat JC x buat lagi.Assignment dah tinggi Mount. Everest dah.Kerja2 Class rep x buat lagi.Adeh..(tak patut betol depa ni.memilih orang yg bakal menghancurkan warga class)
Aisey!Topic research tak dapt lagi la pulak!Tu dia!padan muka.
-Tapi nabil tetap tenang....(Ya Allah permudahkanlah urusanku ini)
Jom esok pagi jogging!

Wassalam.

Please Skip this post..Thank you.

Assalamu'alaikum.

Another not serious post.Just mentioning at the beginning of this post so that those who are really looking for something SERIOUS can skip this post.Or else, just wasting your precious time scrolling, and at the end gives you nothing.I've warned you.Don't blame me later on, ok?.

POYO
Sorry for using this word.I'm not suppose to use it because it reflects my daily words.But trust me,I'm seldom using the word POYO.I've met some new students here,inside the campus.The moment we shake hands,the first question they've asked me was "1st year student?"
So,with POYO nya,I replied,oh no no.Final year student.Then they said,"Really?You look younger than your age."
I said,"Oh well,I'm still young and my age just suit perfectly with my level of study."

You know what,I wondered why people keep on saying I'm 1st year student?Perhaps due to my height.(but for sure,most of the students know I'm in my 4th year;Famouskah aku?)- True story:I went to AIKOL (Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Law) last week and I met a guy (of course Law student).He 'hello' me and said:"Jauh datang.Dari KAED kan?Sekarang final year 1st sem kan?"
Ehem2..Since when I've been so famous until LAW student know me?-POYO

Ok finished the POYO story.

During the first Research Method class,each and every single of us need to say it loud to the whole class (Lecture theatre)on our research topic which we will be doing this semester and next semester (dissertation). Spontaneously, I just shout from the back, (I was at the 2nd last row.I used to sit the most front but I came late that day) I planned to do my research on contract.Hahaha.I never know from where I have the idea to say that.But that's not a big deal.I can change it later.Cepat2 buat decision NJ!

Next story,
We (me + some of my friends)will be presenting a topic for next Principles of Measurement for Civil Engineering Works.Some of us 'voluntarily'looking for excuse not to present.Reason:shy,not confident,english not so good etc.
Suddenly,1 of my friend who remains silent from the beginning of our discussion said:
"Weh,cammon la.Dah final year kot.Tak kan dok takut nak present lagi?!" hahaha..Just realized we are in our final year.(sebelum ni perasan 1st year)

Ni gossip apa pulak ni?
I went out from a photocopy centre and saw a group of sisters (my classmates)chatting among them.Suddenly one of them menjerit (tapi tak kuat sangat la.Jarak tu dalam 7meter)

"Weh Nabil,kau nak pi Jepun ke?"
"Ha?siapa kata?biala masa pulak?"
"Kan Prof nak pi conference kat Jepun next month"
"So?"
"Kot2 la dia ada ajak kau."

Hahaha.Kiamat kot kalau Prof nak ajak aku pi Jepun.Entah ape2 la bebudak ni bergosipan tentang diriku ini.- but I DON'T CARE.I have my own business to settle.

Till then,Wassalam.

Note:
1)Ya Allah bagilah ilham untuk pilih tajuk untuk research ni..isk3..
2)Post ni just to release a part of burdens I've been holding all the time.Allah lah tempat mengadu segala-galanya..

ALL IN ONE SHOT

Assalamu’alaikum.

Alhamdulillah praise to The Almighty Allah for giving me the opportunity to sit for a while and jot down something in my ‘left over’ blog. Yeah, it seems that I wasn’t updating my blog for a quite sometime. Pretty wired eh? Some people calling me ‘si blogger tegar’ but it didn’t reflect as what it should.

Gambar ini diambil dari Blog Adam Kadir.

Sebulan I haven't updated.

Hmm..Where to start? Too many things to tell I guess.Ok, fine.Let this entry be a short one. Still in gear 1 and the momentum is still slow.

SETAHUN LEBIH
11 Jun yang lalu mencukupkan saya 1 tahun kehilangan sahabat yang dicintai,Muhammad ‘Ammar. Walaupun beliau tiada di sisi saya, namun ruh kekuatannya masih terasa. Selalunya waktu-waktu saya down, beliau akan call dari Mesir untuk push me up. Terasa bagai baru semalam berbual-bual bersamanya.’Ammar dah pulang bertemu Rabbul Jalil. Sudah bersediakah kita? Sejauh mana kita sudah mengorbankan jiwa raga kita untuk meraih Redha Allah? Tepuk dada, Tanya iman.

GENTLEMEN, START YOUR ENGINE
Ok,I think it is still not too late to wish a happy coming back to the university to all my fellow friends. Those who weren’t taking the short semester were in a holy great holiday I guessed. Time for the honeymoon will come later on guys; after finishing our studies. Heat up the engine, ready to absorb and digest the new subjects. Perhaps the previous practical training would helps us a lot in understanding the subjects.

NICE SHIRT
One of my roommates is doing his practical training at Gurun, Kedah (Modenas) this semester. He is a good friend of mine. We used to do things together. (makan, riadhah, pi ijtima’am, halaqah etc.). I’m now lone ranger. Oh yes, he went to Australia for a vacation with his family last semester break and guess what, he bought me a nice t-shirt. In return, I just gave him a Palestine t-shirt which I’d bought from my friend.

PLEASE TEACH ME TO SMILE
Few days ago, a girl (my classmate) popped out her words to me which I guessed I’ve come to the answer on why I wasn’t social enough compared to the rest of my friends. “I’m having a too serious facial expression all the time.” Lol
I just realized that I’m having difficulties when it comes to smile. (while standing infront of the mirror and keep on practicing smiling).. Aargh..what a wreck!

MAY ALLAH BLESS THEM
My beloved teacher, Sir Yahya passed away months ago in Sa’udi and he was buried there. He was really a great teacher/ murobbi.

And not to forget, my junior from MATRI, saudari Nurul Jannah Ahmad Sani who’d passed away due to an unexpected accident. May Allah bless her.
(Sama-sama kita ambil pengajaran dari kematian)

KECEWA
Kecewa… why? It’s not because of love for sure. Few days ago I was walking in the campus and was stopped by a booth near the ITD foyer. It was a registration booth for learning foreign languages. So, I picked up a pamphlet where it lists the languages offered and I’m eager to learn Turkish. There are so many languages offered including Russia,Mandarin etc.

Unfortunately, due to ‘nobody’ wanted to learn Turkish except me, the language in not being offered this semester. And it was a jerk when the guy who was in charge at the booth keeps on insisting me to take Korean / Japanese/ French instead of Turkish. He said that most of Malays registered for Korean and Japanese. Ops, sorry. I’m not a guy who loves those Korean/ Japanese drama. Am I made myself clear?

He even said that learning Turkish is useless. No benefits at all. What on earth! Alhamdulillah masih boleh bersabar. I just left the booth with disappointment.

CONGRATULATIONS
I heard some of my sahabat just have their engagement at my age. – too young for me. Lol

My friend from Kenya (he is a PhD student) just married few weeks ago. Congratulation bro. He is a great guy to be friend with. I used to ‘lepak-lepak’ at his room when he was doing his Master here. It was really a good thing when you can have a discussion with people who are much more ‘matured in thinking’. He used to give me lot of advises + he was my Arabic teacher.

Another friend of mine from Jeddah (originally he was from Yamen)keeps on asking me ‘When are you getting married?’, have you found ‘the girl’? Hehehe.. Oh, he is doing his master in my Faculty. He is an architect actually, and he was involved in the enlargement of the Masjidil haram project previously. (of course working with the Bin Laden Company). He suggested me to gain experience overseas by following him working aboard. – undecided yet…

COUNTING THE DAYS
Convocation will be around this coming October. My Architecture’s friends will be receiving their scroll then. Just rang them few days ago. Some of them already working in Architect’s firm. Some of them being the modeler. Making 3D models via sophisticated software etc.

The good news is, they said that they will ‘belanja’ me makan-makan. Hehehe. We haven’t hang out together for a long time and I’m waiting for this moment. Kepada kawan- kawanku yang dah kaya- raya,jangan lupa kawanmu ini.

Maybe that’s all for now. Didn’t I mention it would be a short post this time? Many stories in one post. To tell the truth, one of my sahabat asked me to update my blog ‘yang sudah bersawang and berhabuk ni’. So, this post is kind of ‘meraikan hajat/ permintaan’ sahabat tersebut.
I should write something more serious next time, Insha Allah.
