In which group are we?

Asslamu'alaikum..

Astaghfirullahal 'azim..I'm kinda 'crazy' lately.Writing up things which were not really benefits others.Even using few 'harsh' words.My bad..

Just to share few things which I got them during the previous halaqah I've attended.

One of my sahabat reminds us about a sub topic written by Allahyarham Dr.Fathi Yakan in one of his books.

Dr.Fathi Yakan categorized human in three groups.

1)A group of people who live in this world with only having the aim of to succeed in this world.In simple words,they are only thinking of 'worldly life'.

2)A group of people who thought they have already live in so called 'islamic life'.They tend to mix up the goods and bads.For instance,in a ceremony,they'll have the quranic recitation for the opening but in the middle they'll having like 'wild party'.

This group of people are actually nowhere rather than looking for the 'dunia'.

3)A group of people who really have a clear aim and vision to succeed in the hereafter.They make this world as the orchard and sow it with good deeds and will be harvesting them in the hereafter.

Many people nowadays are categorized in the 1st and the 2nd group.Only few are in the 3rd group.So,let us ask ourselves,in which group we are?

Sometimes it's difficult to put our intention straight away and firm for the sake of Allah.What is our intention of study?For a secure job in the future?To get a better pay?

What is the purpose of writing something in the Blog?Showing off to be good?

Let us sit and think for a while. 'Ijlis bina nu'min sa'ah'.

'Tepuk dada tanya iman.' (Tapi kalau iman dah down,surely iman tak kata apa2.Rasa ok ja dgn keadaan diri ini.-Ditujukan kepada diri sendiri)

Wallahu'alam..

*Really appreciate for having a good sahabat who keep on reminding me.-Masa untuk berubah menjadi 'matang' dan soleh!! Henshien!!

-Oh adakah aku hipokrit?Sekejap post2 ala2 baik,sekejap merapu.Isk3..Celaru2..Iman yazid wa yankhuz..

*I'll be off to Pahang this weekend.(Adakah untuk menyambut new year?Nantikan next episode,insha Allah.)
Please pray for my journey.
"Allahumma inna nasaluka fi safarina haza birran wa taqwa wa minal 'amali ma tardha".

TWO WEEKS...

I've been coughing for the past two weeks.Worst,there's something 'yellowish' or sometimes 'greenish' thing coming out from my throat.

People are distracted with my cough.Even I myself couldn't concentrate my works cause 'regularly coughing' a.k.a 'pembatuk tegar'.Hence I'm avoiding myself to 'exist' at public places.Lunch,dinner= take away.

Surau and masjid,not a good time to go now.Otherwise I'll be spreading the virus to the whole jama'ah.Classes?Hehehe..My classmates need suffer this too.(ayat kejam)

So yesterday one of my roommates bought some medicines for me.(Thanks for your concern).I did go to the Uni Health Centre and prescribed medicines given,but unfortunately (Allah izin)it didn't fully recovered.

My particular roommates with the help of his mom (his mom is a doctor)gave me a 'high dose' of coughing syrup and 'mucussolvan'(to break/to cure the greenish thing).So,now tengah 'HIGH'...

*This post is actually to express my 'terharu' cause I've got free medicines from my friend+his mom..This is what a good Dai'e should do.Action speaks louder than word.His action really touched me.I know those medicines cost are no cheap.(Eh ini bukan ayat jiwang atau jatuh cinta)..

When I was caught fever last week,one of my friend who is staying in different college/mahallah with me and also he is my junior did come to my room for a visit and bought me foods for dinner.He bought for me something which is suitable for 'orang-orang demam'.

Really 'touching'..A friend from different college/mahallah came all the way to my college which is not really near/close from one another.(Adakah hati ini telah menjadi perempuan?Tiba-tiba terharu dan emo?Hahaha.)No no no..If we make friends for the sake of Allah,we could see the beauty of ukhuwwah.

Wallahu'alam...(aa..tengah high..)

*Ada orang kata: NJ kau dah berubah la..Kalau orang tau kau yang sebenarnya habisla..Kau la makhluk paling kejam di muka bumi!.

Respond: Hahaha..Biasala,tu la jangan kata aku baik.aku tak suka dipuji.(sambil cuba mengeluarkan dua batang tanduk di kepala dan bermuka bengis)

Who said I'm good and soleh,please recheck your statement and think twice before making that statement again.-I'm only a normal person who is 'TRYING' to be good.

Allah knows me better..

Baru tahu..

I've been noticing people are talking about Android.Yet it didn't bother me at all lately until just now the curiosity came along and I've been able to overcome it by surfing the infos.

What do you know about Android?Huhu



Arghh!! again wasting time by reading something which are not related to my research!
This is the problem when I'm doing my work with computer + got internet.I tend to 'ctrl + tab'..hua hua hua!!

Huh..suddenly the feeling of wanted to re-watching the trilogy of Lord of The Ring came over to me.Damit! I've been distracted by so many things!

Anyone still have the trilogy??It had been removed from my computer years ago.huhu.Agrhh!!

Lapar pulak..Adeh.Jom2 cari makan.[today's mood: Mari membuang masa =( juga menjadi lagho ]

Everybody have their own plans.me?

Salam and good morning.

I went to the faculty's office this morning after I've finished my project management's class to submit the graduation form and few others necessary things which need to be attached together with the form.

I met some of my friends there,filling some other forms which I didn't fill earlier on.Oh,they were actually acquiring academic partial transcript which I don't think I need it at this moment.

They told me that they're going to start applying for job,or in other words 'job hunting'.Wow! sounds impressive.

Some of them are planning to continue for Master Degree either locally or aboard.If I'm not mistaken,3 of my classmates had already apply for Master in UK and still waiting for confirmation.

Just now one of my classmates told me that xxx is planning to go for Master in Australia.The rest,some of them just continue it locally.

As far as I concerned,the QS students graduated from this university are all employed.Due to the 'fluency in English' (As what employer expected from graduates of IIUM)some of the graduates were sent aboard to manage construction projects there.Some of my seniors are in Dubai,China,Abu Dhabi,UK,Singapore etc.But I couldn't take that for granted.



Looking at my friends,I'm a bit envy as they have their own plans.Even some have already being engaged to inherit family contracting firm.

But nevertheless I'm ok with what I'm now.Yeah I did plan to further my studies but I won't continue it in the field of construction anymore.Maybe something related to Islamic Revealed Knowledge/Islamic studies.If Allahyarham Syeikh Dr.Fathi Yakan the author of the famous book 'Apa Ertinya Saya Menganut Islam?'can divert his academic life from an Engineering student to Islamic Studies,why can't me?

Or I should just going back to my 'kampung' after my graduation and do the 'kerja-kerja kampung'.I don't care what people gonna say as long as I enjoy it very much.

Anyhow,it is only the matter of planning.As long as we do our works for the sake of Allah,Insha Allah,there are rewards for it.

'Wamakaru wamakarallah,wallahu khairul makirin'...

Wallahu'alam.

to my big bro..

Happy working!
Although you've been working 7 days per week, as long as you enjoy it,it won't make you stress.

Even though you went back home from office around 5am in the morning and need to rush back to the office,don't be sad.just keep smiling.

That's it! You have choosed to be in construction field,then you'll have to face it.You'll earn something later on,Insha Allah.

Keep working and wait up for me..Hehehe

different

Salam and Happy sunday.

Initially I wanted to continue sharing something I should shared it earlier in the previous post but seem like I've already forgot the topic and story.So,Just proceed it with the new one..Sorry,kinda miserable a bit.

Have you ever asked yourself whether you're a type of 'group approach' or 'individual approach'?Your sensitivity is more towards a group of people or towards individual?

I myself found out to be more towards individual.That is why I couldn't 'well behave' when I need to conduct a group of people.E.g.talking to the public,giving orders etc.

Because I really need to know a person 'in deep' before everything else.Actually it's a credits for someone who have the 'individual sensitivity'.I might say it will helps you a lot in doing your Da'wah Fardhiyah.

Believe me,once you have this kind of heart,you'll know when and how to tackle your mad'us heart.

There was a question in a 'daurah' I've attended previously asking about when we should move from step one to the next steps in Da'wah Fardhiyyah. (I guess readers knew well about the Da'wah Fardhiyyah steps.Hence no need for me to elaborate it more)

Personally,I would say it is your friend (i.e your mad'u) and you should know him/her better.When to move to the next steps depends on how sensitive your heart towards your mad'u achievements.

You can't simply being rigid to the book and procedures.Da'wah is about calling people to Allah and it is really a tough job and time consuming.Different people might have different period of time in moving to different level.

I admit,I have lot of friends whom I could see their potential in being a good muslims and could contribute somthing to Islam in the future.Some of them I could easily called and join my usrah.Some of them,I still need lot of observations.Still need to settle down their individual problems or in other words establish a good relationship for the sake of Allah.

If our heart is what I called more towards 'individual approach',you might know how and when the best time to call your friends.

I'm having friends whom I knew them since matriculation centre.Some of them I managed to call them to participate in 'General program',some of them has already in usrah,some of them still trying to 'membina hubungan hati'.I love them for the sake of Allah and wish one day they'll be on 'this path'.

Unlike those who are group centric,they are more towards calling a group of people to Islam by organizing programs etc.I'm not towards that as it'll be difficult for me to follow up my mad'u.Once the program ended,It's hard to meet again and you'll be having new participants for the next program.

I'm not saying this approach is wrong.It is just the matter of I'm not towards it.I'm kinda towards 'personal touch'.I love observing individual behavior etc.

Insha Allah as long as we are working on the path of Allah,there are rewards for it.It is only the matter of how we do it.

Wallahu'alam.-Again those who interested in doing da'wah through 'personal touch' can read a book by Abbas As-Sissiy,Bagaimana Menyentuh Hati;Kiat-kiat memikat objek Da'wah.

Arghh..Please don't think I'm good enough with all thiese sort of things.I'm still trying to improve myself.

I'm learning..

Salam and good afternoon.

Friday,I went to the Faculty's office with some of my friends and fill in the graduation form.(I've been expected to graduate this coming convocation,Insha Allah).Oh,how time flies..I was kinda feel it was just few days ago I registered as the 1st year university student,and today I'm already in my final year.

By the way, this is not what I'm going to share about.It is just a 'sway' introduction.Oh,before that (another unnecessary point to tell)I was about to curse some of the foreigners here yesterday.Can you imagine,I was walking on a pedestrian going back to my room when suddenly I stumbled on a 'herd' of foreigners who were gathering in the middle of pedestrian.About 10 of them and they were chatting and some of them were smoking.As I approaching the herd,they didn't moved an inch.Just ignoring my right to walk passing the route.

On both sides of the pedestrian are the grasses and biiznillah,yesterday was raining in the evening.So,you should expected how the soil conditions was.(muddy + wet grasses)

I couldn't passed through them as they were blocking the route.(Hello,final year student was about to walk men!Give him a space)

At last,I was the one who need to walk 'on the mud+wet grasses'.For sure,my sandal,feet and the bottom of my pants were totally wet.

Arghh!!-Trying to think positive.Allah has sent them to test me.To test my patience and tolerance.

Ooo you foreigners,with all due respect,I hope all of you will behave wisely.This is Malaysia and please respect our society.Don't ever bring along all your 'bad habits' here,otherwise people starts cursing and praying something bad for you.

Now,I have no more mood to share the thing I'm supposedly shared earlier on.Maybe next time.The memories just killed my mood..

*I hope those Malaysians who study aboard are behaving well.We Malaysians (especially Muslims)have manners and we need to reflect it by our daily behavior.

Wallahu'alam..

our education system

Again,before I start writing this post,just to say it out loud that this is all based on my personal opinion.It happens from my personal experience and observation.Nothing more than that.This is not an academic journal or article hence you won't find any citations or scholars' quotations in it.And of course it might be argued and i really love to hear responds from readers.- hoping it would be like two ways communication rather than I'm mumbling all the way alone.Happy reading.


School..What do we expect from it?When I was in my primary school,I never thought anything else other than 'scoring the best marks' during the final exams.I never thought on how to improve my soft skills e.g public speaking etc. although I did join the public speaking competition (up to state level) and story telling competition.It wasn't my intention to join those things at the first place.Of course it was my teachers' 'push'.Well,did you expect a primary school students to think maturely like an adults?I don't think so. (only in certain cases it does happened)
Even in the class,we were not being exposed to the environment of 'giving presentation'.Our system is most likely 'exam oriented' rather than trying to enhance the soft skills.- I bet any primary school having the class presentation e.g. telling to the whole classmates what you have done during your school break,or likely bringing your pet to the school and telling the story about it.

Again,it happened during my secondary school.Although the chances to polish the soft skills were much more to happen here compared during the primary school,it seems like it didn't really helps much.We're still lack in terms of soft skills.In fact some of the schools are acting like a mom i.e 'spoon feeding' the students.

I realized the consequences of the system only after I managed to attend the college/university.I myself didn't have the courage to voice out my opinions inside the class.As a matter of fact,it isn't about me alone.I could see almost 99% of my classmates are having the same problem.

We can't even managed to express our thought clearly during presentations.And of course presentations would be kind of 'night mares' to some of the students.

We are having lack of self confidence,didn't know how to express ourselves exactly at a right place etc.And yet,we are still having this kind of mentality i.e. exam oriented.- How to tackle the questions etc. rather that understanding the whole concepts.

As I watching the English movies,sometimes I do impressed with their education system.As early as the kindergarten level,they are exposed to 'how to communicate to the public',or in other words eliminating the inferiority complex in oneself.Apart from doing all those colourings,paintings they will conduct other interesting activities which not only enjoyable but also instilling self confidence. (You'll find sometimes students need to bring along their pets to the kindergarten and present about it)

Even during the primary school,they'll be having a session called 'the field trip'.It's not a standard 6 trip to KL like we used to have after the UPSR.It's likely to be an annual trip or twice a year.Students even sometimes need to present to the class later on on what they had gained from the field trip.Again it is about soft skills.

Sometimes students also need to present to the class on the activities they had done during the school break.And friends are welcome to ask any questions during the 'story telling' session.

So,it wouldn't be that surprise if we could see they're being out loud in class during in the college.Brave enough to participate in class in the real sense.Having the courage to give their opinion/answer to the class although ti might be wrong.

Looking at a smaller scale (if the whole class is defined as a larger scale),we can't even 'well behave' in small discussion group.

Sometimes it really make me think,why is that we (as Malaysians) are so passive compared to the westerns?

Is it because of our educational system?or it is about our genetic?
Or we are having 'pantang-larang' made by our 'orang-orang tua' which teaches us to keep on silent rather than speak it out loud?

Maybe it is our customs (Malay adat) not to be active because it will 'destroy' your reputation. (e.g. girls are not good to talk much.No men would marry you later on.is it?)

Or it is our self problem?if that so,why is that this problem happening to many individuals?My instinct feels like it is a combination of educational system,the way we were raised up in our family and some self problem..

What do you think the main source?Who is to be blamed?

Wallahu'alam..

-Sorry,just a short post before going to class.Just write it up in about 10 minutes and no time to read it twice for grammatical checking etc before posting it.And don't want to save it as draft.Just post it..!!

Let us ponder upon!

sub-conscious

I'm not a doctor..
But I'm really eager to listen to the medical stories..

I've been infected with fever for the last few days.And it strokes me down for almost a week.-For sure I've missed my class.

I went to the university Health Center and received numbers of medicines which I didn't know their scientific name.

Why is that when I was sick (fever),every time I sleep I'll be having a weired dreams.It was kind half realistic and half not.

Usually once we wake up from sleep in a sudden situation,and later on continuing our sleep,it's difficult to continue/recall the dream from the sleep before we woke up just now.Am I right?

But it's totally different whenever someone in a fever.I kept on dreaming the same thing and even the sequence of the stories keep on rolling like a serial of dramas.Even after few times I opened my eyes the dreams keep on coming.

Sometimes I dreamed of I was standing near my room window(level 3.Alhamdulillah tak terjun) and few minutes later it turned out to be real.it was like 'separa sedar'

Is the fever have anything to do with the mind?Are those who have fever are actually insane?

Allah has created human's brain with complexity.None of HIS creatures could produce as what has been created.To understand something scientific is one thing.And to understand something artistic is another thing..

incorporating artistic point of view into scientific perspective sounds interesting.!!

-Wallau'alam-

insane mood = fever + assignments + research + presentations etc = me..

*Tomorrow evening will be having a presentation.I'll be presenting with my 'sexy' voice.I've been coughing since last week and I'm barely having my original voice now.

Running towards graduation...

I'm running towards my graduation..But the more I think,the more confused i get.If i didn't think,how I'm going to climb the graduation mountain?

Final semester isn't that easy as i thought before.Aaa..This is only an undergraduate life..Be strong and stay focus.There is still another mountain to be climbed,Insha Allah.

-Final Year Undergrad mood-

Please pray for me...

how you judge your level

Assalamu'alaikum..

Have you ever feel that you are good enough in the circle of your friends?As a matter of fact,I did.Of course it's a very dangerous infection in our heart if we feel satisfied with our own good deeds.

But are we really 'that good' among of our friends?Hmm..
As for me,I spend most of my time with my classmates and for those IIUM students,you should know how 'social' the KAEDians.

That is why,at one time I felt like I'm the best compared to the others in the faculty.(it was..Presently no..)

My dad used to say 'In the kingdom of the blinds,the one eyed man is the king'.Now I realized that i was comparing myself with the people who aren't exposed to the Tarbiyyah.And of course it is not comparing apple to an apple.

It's not comparing apple to an apple..

I should comparing myself with those who are in the Tarbiyyah Islamiyyah and working for the sake of Allah.Then I realized that I'm nobody except a tiny little notorious guy.

Yeah,looking at my sahabat,they are 1000 more good then me.And yet,I still didn't comparing myself with the Rasulullah companions whom are greater.

What I'm suppose to do now?If we wanted to improve ourselves,spend most of our time with the 'orang-orang soleh'.Their deeds will somehow encourage ourself to struggle to be a better person and achieving at least the same par with them.

However,it doesn't mean we have to abandon our 'friends'! As a Dai'e and Murobbi,the moment we meet our 'sahabat' is the time where we 'charge' our iman apart from meeting with Allah in our solat.

Wrapping up,what we should do once we have the feeling of 'ta'jub' with our own deeds ,we need to compare ourselves with the 'amalan orang-orang soleh'.Then only we know the level of ourselves.

Wallahu'alam..

conversation stopped!

NJ : Erk??

The conversation (via YM)stopped on the dot...
Moga Allah rahmati dan kasihi nta wahai sahabatku yg ku kasihi kerana Allah..

Need a good start

Assalamu'alaikum..

Two days has left since the new semester has started.I'm managed to arrange my academic schedule a.k.a class schedule accordingly.Alhamdulillah.Guess what.I'll be having no class every Tuesday and Wednesday.But that doesn't mean I can hang around or watching movies or doing other leisure stuffs.I need to concentrate on my dissertation.

Today,after subuh prayer and a small recitation of Al-Quran,I went to the sport complex and played table-tennis with one of my roommate.Plus,I managed to jog 1.6km in 5 minutes.Hehehe.A good achievement for me.

Went back to the room and prepared myself with few things because I'll be meeting my supervisor after Zuhur prayer.Around 12pm,went out to Giant and bought a new white board.I need to jot down few important dates on it as a reminder.

After zuhur,went to the faculty and met my supervisor.(suddenly feel like wanna cry.Isk3..).Quite tough this semester! I need to submit my dissertation on 23rd March 2011.It means I only have less than 3 months to complete my research.I asked my supervisor whether there would be possibility for the submission date to be extended.Oh no! the date is fixed! No tolerance!

And I need to do some minor changes with my topic.Aaa..My life is falling apart!And somehow I felt like I'm not capable and not competent to carry out this research..Ya Allah..I need a good start and help from Allah..

After Asar,I went out with my friend to Kepong metropolitan park just to release my stress.Aaa..Looking at the kites really made me feel a bit released.I sat on the deck which is floating on the lake and waiting for the sunset.Subhanallah..what a release.

Oh,we went to the park by riding this kind of bike.Not really this one but more likely.(tetiba teringat cerita wild hog..best jugak riding thousand miles and enjoy the scenery..Need to list down as one of my wish!)

this one is yamaha.The one we ride was Honda.Vulcan ke?

Night,I went to meet my sahabats.(plural.hehe)We discussed on many things.Programs for this semester etc.

So...Now I just need a good start to ensure the whole semester going smoothly.Balancing the academic,Da'wah and Tarbiyyah. You can do it!!

Sekolah !!!

Assalamu'alaikum..

Alhamdulillah,berkat doa dan usaha (yang tak seberapa) serta dengan bantuan-bantuan serta doa dari orang-orang tersayang,I've passed my 4th year 1st semester with kepelbagaian gred.Looking back at my exam result,it was awesome! Ada A,B and C pun ada..Huhu (Biasala..org x pandai.Ada je gred B and C utk 'mencantikkan' exam result.)

Insha Allah I'm in my final semester now and need to struggle a bit harder to complete my course.Oh juga mahu menyiapkan dissertation yang makin make me feel 'give up'..Aduh..

So,today the school has started.My routine will keep on rolling as usual.Wake up,walking to the class,finish off my assignments etc..Hmm..

Btw,today wasn't a good start for me.If u're still remember,I'd made a 'prank' call to some of my friends last month if I'm not mistaken.Click here to read the entry.

And guess what?I've been pranked back this morning.Arghh!!
One of my friend called me and said that the HOD (head of department) wanted to meet me at 12pm and I need to bring along my 1st chapter of my dissertation.I'm a bit curious at the 1st place but the way my friend told me,she was kinda serious and I trusted her.

Suddenly she laugh and I could hear others were laughing too around her (indicating she wasn't alone making this prank call).Hampeh!

So,I don't want to 'pay back' by planning other 'pranking' to them.I wanted to change now.Be a bit serious,matured and soleh.Huhu.(and of course no more play boy.Am I?)

So,mari kita ke sekolah! 6 subjects this sem with 18 credit hours.

Notes:
1)I've been thinking of changing my mahallah/residential college.Of course I've been offered to change it by the mahallah officers.Well,need to think it twice.

2)Sekarang tengah bercita-cita mahu menjadi seorang petani dan penternak.Or I could say, 'kerja-kerja kampung'.

3)Post kali ini tidak serious dan kurang bermanfaat.Sorry..

Update2..

Assalamu'alaikum..

For those who are not updating themselves with current news especially issues relating to the Palestine,i.e. whether reading it from BBC,Al-Jazeera,Haaretz,Press TV etc.here, I copied down one of the latest news from BBC News.Maybe you might feel bored reading news from the news web hosting and preferred spending your time reading people's blog.So,those people can now reading news from my blog.

Just read it!! Once you've read the 1st paragraph,there is no turning back.Keep on scrolling and reading the whole of my post.Just to ensure you step away from being an ignorant..

Israel ire as Argentina and Brazil recognise Palestine

Israel has reacted angrily to Argentina's recognition of a Palestinian state within 1967 borders.

Monday's move by Argentina comes days after a similar step by South American neighbour Brazil.

The Argentinian foreign ministry said recognition was in line with the Palestinians' right to build an independent state.

More than 100 states around the world recognise Palestine, their mission at the United Nations says.

"The time has come to recognise Palestine as a free and independent state," Foreign Minister Hector Timerman said, adding that Argentina was "frustrated" that peace talks had stalled.

Brazil recognised Palestine on Friday, and Uruguay said it would do the same next year. Costa Rica, Cuba, Nicaragua and Venezuela have already done so.

'No contribution'
But Israel Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor said the moves were irresponsible.

"They never made any contribution to [the peace process]... and now they're making a decision that is completely contrary to everything that has been agreed so far," he said.

Palestinian negotiator Nabil Shaath welcomed the move.

"We don't say that such recognitions immediately end Israeli occupation, but it gives us a push forward and helps getting more recognition," he said, quoted by the Associated Press news agency.

Talks between the Israelis and Palestinians ground to a halt in September, when the United States and the Palestinian Authority failed to persuade Israel to extend a moratorium on new housing in the West Bank, not including East Jerusalem.

Israel occupied the West Bank and the Gaza Strip during the 1967 war. It withdrew its troops from Gaza in 2005.

The Palestinians have been making behind-the-scenes diplomatic moves to secure unilateral recognition since the talks stalled.


*sources: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-11941172

*Noticed there is actually my name stated inside the news.I'm the negotiator.
*Argh!! there is no such diplomatic agreements etc. in making peace with the Israel.Totally bullshit!

What do you think?

I used to hear people saying that those university drops out can still succeed.
Look at Bill Gates,Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerberg.All of them were university drop out and yet they are succeeded in their life.

steve jobs

bill gates

What say you?comments?

impossible..

Assalamu'alaikum..

Is it true that everything start with a dream?I mean the things we intended to achieve.But then it could't be just an empty dream.Efforts and struggles need to blend it together with the dream.

The important thing is,we need to have high determinations and disciplines in achieving it.And of course not to forget,supplication to Allah.

I'm having lot of dreams,but it seems like impossible..My efforts seem like 'useless'.Bearing no fruits..
Sometimes it is like just wanna giving up.Hmmm...

Argh...life is too difficult and complicated.I'm afraid my faith is not quite 'strong','stable' and 'firm' which could lead me to 'somewhere else'...

Ya Allah,please make me strong to face the reality and accept your qada' and qadar.

What about me?Am I?

the more i read,the less i didn't know a thing..

Assalamu'alaikum..

As usual,as I entered the office in the morning I will look for the newspaper.And of course,The Star is my favourite one.

Today I learnt a new word from the newspaper.In one of the world's section news stated that there was a massive delayed in flight in Madrid,Spain.It was due to wildcats.The city was in alarmed and troops was in charged by the ordered of the government,if i'm not mistaken.

At first glance i was quite shocked!Wow,were the wildcats in the forests somehow came out and making chaos?I couldn't see any pictures as they only showed pictures inside the airport where people were queuing to refund their tickets.-delay flights.

But the 'wildcats' seems didn't linked withe the story.I read it twice and still kindda blur.Well,i admit i'm still weak in English especially in terms of vocabs,grammar etc.

I decided to opened the dictionary from my laptop (i hav a very useful dictionary in my laptop i.e. "i finger").I typed it down the word wildcats in notepad and double clicked the word and the meaning appeared.

So,this post i would like to share the meaning of wildcats apart from its literal meaning i.e. a small native Eurasian and African cat that is typically grey with black markings and a bushy tail, noted for its ferocity.

-Wildcats:an exploratory oil well.
-it's an adjective [attrib.] (of a strike)
-sudden and unofficial
-e.g. of sentence:legislation to curb wildcat strikes.

Wallahu'alam..

~Read..in the name of Allah~

It's difficult than I thought..

Assalamu'alaikum..

Do you ever experienced translating something from one language to other language?What did you feel?An easy job?

Maybe for those native English speaking might find this work as a piece of cake but for us,especially me who learning English language through 'self study' it's quite hard.(Although I have a dream to be one of the good translator in the future.English,Arabic,Malay,Turkish and Hebrew maybe?)

When I was in the primary school,some of my friends did asked me certain words to be translated into English.Since I was a 'kid' at that time,I just translate it literally.I didn't care whether the words are suitable for that particular sentence or not.For instance,one of my friend asked me,"Beri dalam English apa?"

I didn't asked him what kind of sentence he was trying to make instead,rather than just gave the word he requested."give."

Then when I read his sentence I spotted the word requested was not used at the proper place."He gave the speech yesterday."
Personally I would think the word 'delivered' should be replacing the word 'gave'.Am I right?

Yeah it was the same thing happening when I was in the secondary school.When I read a lot in English I found some of my words are used wrongly.Even till now.Still having mistakes here and there.(Even Grammatical errors)

From my point of view,in translating something,we can't easily translate it word by word.We need to understand the gist of the texts,speeches etc.before start translating.Even some external factors need to take into account.The location,community,cultures etc.

Ok,let say I wanted to translate one of the famous Malay idiom i.e "Mencurahkan air ke daun keladi."

How would it be then?I'm afraid people might not grab my point if I translated it like this "Pouring water on the yam leaf"..Huhu..Even it made me sound weired and stupid.

If we're looking at the English community,the 'yam' is not a sort of famous plant.It's not really fits their customs or daily activities.Hence it's kindda difficult to understand the meaning of the idiom.

Unlike the Malays,our 'orang kampung' think 'daun keladi' is so useful.Sometimes due to it's 'water resistant' they used it as a temporary 'cup' for drinks etc.And the 'daun keladi' can easily be found in Malaysia especially in sub-urban area.

So,how would it be to translate this idiom?Let us look at the gist of the idiom..
What is exactly the meaning of 'mencurahkan air ke daun keladi'?

I would say it is 'doing something useless'.Am I right?Yeah,we did know that water can't stick on that particular leaf and yet we still pouring water on it.What for?it's useless..

Ok now we understood the gist of the idiom.Let us look at the English idiom which brought the same meaning.'useless'

I think the most accurate one is, 'Bringing the coal to the Newcastle'.As a matter of fact,Newcastle once was a place for coal production.Hence bringing coals to the Newcastle is kindda useless.Did you see how it works?As the Newcastle was a place of coal production,thus the idiom is likely linked to the surrounding+ local activities.

As Daun Keladi is famous among Malays,thus the idiom "mencurahkan air ke daun keladi" was established.

What I'm going to stress here is,Translating is not an easy job.We need to study carefully the words,cultures,surrounding etc.Not to forget,we need lot of readings.

I remembered at one time I was asked to translate two pages English text regarding Palestine issues into Malay language which later was published in one of the Palestine web.I was in the middle of semester at that moment and had bunches of assignments and tests which need to be completed.As I had a limitation of time,I couldn't translate it in a proper way.I still remember how I was struggling finding the word 'Flotilla' in Malay Language..As I'm so called 'English-reading-guy' I hardly find the word in Malay.It just came into my knowledge that Flotilla in Malay is 'Armada'..

Honestly I never heard the word Armada before.It is my bad cause I'm so weak in languages regardless English,Malay or Arabic..

Anyway,Al-Quran is the most beautiful language used.Even some words couldn't be translated by other languages.It shows how powerful Allah has created Al-Quran as the final Mu'jizat and guidance to the humankind.

And learning Arabic is a compulsion for every Muslims as it is the language of the Al-Quran,the people in the Paradise and the language of our beloved Prophet,Muhammad Sallallahu 'alaihi wassalam.


Wallahu'alam...

*I still need more efforts to master my favorite languages..Please pray for me..

now what?

Assalamu'alaikum...

Just formatted my drive C recently.Well i guess it would be my annual activity i.e. formatting the drive C as my laptop always infected by those annoying viruses.

At one time I can't even log in my laptop.What a disaster! Of course these viruses are coming from 'the outsiders' who keep on pin in their flash drive into my laptop.What else can i say?I'm doing printing service and i should expect people are coming to print their docs which are stored in their flash drive and at the same time transferring the viruses into my 'girl'.

After formatting the drive C i just realized I didn't have certain softwares' installer including Adobe Photoshop which is one of the I-can't-live-without-it software.

I'm kindda an old school where I used to 'photoshoping' using the old version one i.e. CS2.My friend gave me the installer the other day and I just installed a bit new version compared to the CS2 which turned out to be difficult for me to operate it.

Now I'm working a bit slow with the I-can't-live-without-it software.

But it's not a big deal at all.After all life is about a continuous learning process and I should keep on learning and learning.Learning new stuffs,new softwares,new words etc.

Wallahu'alam..

*Don't compare me with those Designing students e.g. Applied Arts etc.They're using softwares which sometimes burning up the PC.- One guy's PC suddenly burning in the middle of rendering his design's work.I'm not sure what software he was using at that time.3D Max maybe?

Tariq Ramadhan

Assalamu'alaikum..

Years ago i was confused whether Said Ramadhan and Tariq Ramadhan are the same person or not.Yeah the word 'Ramadhan' somehow distracted my focus plus my ignorant for not trying to get to know them in details.In fact right now i'm not exactly know their biography from A to Z.

For those who inherited one of my previous attitudes i.e ignorance,i hope and pray we can change ourselves.But yet i'm still kindda make myself 'ignorant' under certain circumstances.E.g. I never care about football players name,what club are they playing with etc.Except for certain players.It same goes with the artists.Sometimes whenever people talk or the exact word is 'gossip'ing about artists,I somehow blurr and don't care much.Personally, I would say ignorant in that case is acceptable..Huhuhu.

Back to the topic,who is tariq ramadhan?

Believe it or not,he is the grandson of Imam Hasan Al Banna the founder of Ikhwanul Muslimin or the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

He was born in Geneva Switzerland in the year 1962.Currently he is a Philosopher and an Islamic Scholar and he is also the Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies at the Oxford University.

Well,to know more about him,you are advised to google up yourselves.I just give you a brief background of him.Insha Allah,after diligent searching,your level of ignorant will at least reduced a lil bit.

One of his famous quotes:

"We've got to get away from the idea that scholars in the Islamic world can do our thinking for us. We need to start thinking for ourselves.”


Wallahu'alam..

Let us start thinking....

*Oh I just realized his appearance in the Reviving The Islamic Spirit Conference last year if i'm not mistaken in California USA.He was one of the speakers.Those who have the opportunity to attend the annual conference are most welcome.This year would be held on this coming 25th December (winter break)at Toronto,Canada.

Don't miss it!!

My wish....

Assalamu'alaikum...

Suddenly I have a wish..Weired eh?Not really a desperate one,but if my wish granted,it would be better.

I wish to have this book for my reading hobby.Perhaps those stalkers or my secret admirers who intended to give me this book for my birthday (early next year actually..January)is most welcome.

Title: Levent; Splendour And Catastrophe On The Mediterranean

Author: Philip Mansel

Publisher: John Murray

Short description:
Levant is a book of cities. It describes three former centers of great wealth, pleasure, and freedom—Smyrna, Alexandria, and Beirut—cities of the Levant region along the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. In these key ports at the crossroads of East and West, against all expectations, cosmopolitanism and nationalism flourished simultaneously. People freely switched identities and languages, released from the prisons of religion and nationality. Muslims, Christians, and Jews lived and worshipped as neighbors.

Distinguished historian Philip Mansel is the first to recount the colorful, contradictory histories of Smyrna, Alexandria, and Beirut in the modern age. He begins in the early days of the French alliance with the Ottoman Empire in the sixteenth century and continues through the cities' mid-twentieth-century fates: Smyrna burned; Alexandria Egyptianized; Beirut lacerated by civil war.

Mansel looks back to discern what these remarkable Levantine cities were like, how they differed from other cities, why they shone forth as cultural beacons. He also embarks on a quest: to discover whether, as often claimed, these cities were truly cosmopolitan, possessing the elixir of coexistence between Muslims, Christians, and Jews for which the world yearns. Or, below the glittering surface, were they volcanoes waiting to erupt, as the catastrophes of the twentieth century suggest? In the pages of the past, Mansel finds important messages for the fractured world of today.

About the Author:
Philip Mansel is a historian of France and the Ottoman Empire. His publications include histories of Constantinople and nineteenth-century Paris, as well as biographies of Louis XVIII and the Prince de Ligne. While writing Levant, he lived in Beirut and Istanbul.

Tq for your concern.. =)

Why English is so hard?

Assalamu'alaikum..

I flipped the 'mind your English' section inside The Star newspaper this morning at the office.Todays issue really caught my attention.Entitled 'Why English is so hard',it is funny when u read it.I'm not sure how others feel when reading this,but for me it's really make me sick!

So,I just rewrite the contents from this section inside the newspaper.

WHY ENGLISH IS SO HARD?

We'll begin with a box and the plural is boxes,

But the plural of ox becomes oxen,not oxes.

One fowl is a goose,but two are called geese,

Yet the plural of moose should never be meese.

You may find a lone mouse

or a nest full of mice,

Yet the plural of house is houses,not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men,

Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen?

If I speak of my foot and show you my feet,

And I give you a boot ,would a pair be called beet?

If one is a tooth and a whole set is a teeth,

Why shouldn't the plural of booth be called beeth?

Then one may be that,and three would be those,

Yet hat in the plural would never be hose.

And the plural of cat is cats,not cose.

We speak of a brother and also a brethren,

But though we say mother,we never say methren.

Then the masculine pronouns are he,his and him,

But imagine the feminine:She,shis and shim!

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.

There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger;

neither apple nor pine in pineapple.

English muffins weren't invented in England,

We take English for granted,

but if we explore its paradoxes,we find that quicksand

can work slowly,boxing rings are square,and a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

And why is it that writers write but fingers don't fing,

grocers don't groce and hammers don't ham?

Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them,

what do you call it?

If teachers taught,why didn't preachers praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does humanitarian eat?

Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what other language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?

We ship by truck but send cargo by ship.

We have noses that run and feet that smell.

We park in a driveway and drive in a parkway.

And how can a slim chance and fat chance be the same,while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down,in which you fill in a form by filling it out,and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

And in closing,if Father is Pop,how come Mother's not Mop?

*This article was written by an anonymous and he/she sent it to The Star's newspaper,3rd December 2010.

*Btw,can anyone help me out with the 5th paragraph?I couldn't understand the point.

"Doesn't it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend.

If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them,

what do you call it?"

Positive or Realistic?

Assalamu'alaikum..

If you were asked whether to think positive or to think realistic,which one would you stand on?

Difficult eh? Ok,let me gives you an example.Let say you're already late to go to the airport and catch the flight.It would takes about an hour to go to the airport from your place while the plane will be departured in 1 hour 10 minutes.

Are you still struggling and betting to go to the airport?If you still rushing to the airport it means you're thinking positively although it seems like impossible to reach the airport at the exact time.If you decided to give up with the situation,then I would say you're thinking realistic.Although it takes an hour to go to the airport under normal circumstances,you should never overlooked the other considerations, e.g. the traffics flow,vehicle conditions etc.It surely would take more than an hour if suddenly your car broke down in the middle of the road isn't it?

Back to the question,where were you if this situation happened to you?Would you think positively or realistic?

Actually it depends on the situation.Sometimes you need to think realistic and put the positive thinking aside and vice versa.

If you ask me under what circumstances we need to think positive or realistic,I couldn't give the accurate answer.We are human and have feelings,attitudes and lot of subjectives attributes which need to take into account in deciding anything.

Hence,experience,maturity,the way we perceive etc. might influence our decision making whether to be realistic or positive.

It always happened in our society specifically in students life where we tend to make or advice people wrongly.I don't mean to be judgmental what so ever.We sometimes came across situation where our friends received a very low carry marks and worst,he can't even answer the final exam.Frankly by rough estimation,although he got full marks for the final exam he still can't pass the subject.

So,most of us would trying to calm him down by say, "don't worry bro.Insha Allah kau lulus punya.Kau jangan risau la.Aku yakin kau bleh."

Ok ok..You might be 'good' at that situation by giving hope or think it positively.But let us face the reality.

If you are a good friend of him,it is better to tell him to face the reality.If you still giving him hope,what will he feels when he fails at the end of the day?Obviously he might cries and acting crazily and suffering extreme bilious which 'doom' his life later on.

It is better to advice/ tell him the truth.At the same time help him plan a new study route/plan for the next semester.You might suggest him what subjects to be taken and what are not at the moment.-You are being a realistic now.

But then,in advising people,we need to know their backgrounds,history etc.It takes time to understand the 'human behavior'..

Although I'm kindda having technical background but I do care about human behaviors and attitudes.It really comes into my concern to deal with human accordingly.

Actually whether we realized it or not,analyzing human behavior before acting is essential especially for us who struggling to spread the words of Allah.

Even Allah has mentioned in the Holy Quran regarding this matter.I forgot the surah and ayat but Allah says:

" Ud'u ila sabili rabbika bil hikmah wal mauizatil hasanah...."

Wallahu'alam...

May Allah guide us..

Running nose

Assalamu'alaikum..

I've been suffering from running nose for the past few days.It's not really 'suffer'.Kindda 'kifarah dosa' from Allah.

I've read an article stated that there is no exact remedy/medicine for running nose.What 'the victims' need to do are just take a long rest and drink a lot of plain water.The antibody will cure it at the end of the day.

Is it true?But then,i'm not a doctor to agree or disagree with the article.Even my dad taught us not to easily prescribe medicine if it's only a 'light' fever.It's not good to depend on the medicine all the time.

The question is,how i'm gonna know whether my 'running nose' is just a normal one or abnormal? Who knows I might be suffered from H1N1? Na'uzubillahi min zalik.

I better google my symptom through the internet.I don't want to meet the doctor in this coming 2- 3 days.Just to be an 'illegal doctor' to myself.
Temperature - checked
sore throat - checked
running nose - checked
headache - sometimes

Wallahu'alam.

*2 days i haven't gone to work.
Kifarah dosa dari Allah...Insha Allah once we accept it with fullest heart there are rewards from Allah.

Dr.Said Ramadhan Al Butty

Assalamu'alaikum...

Dr.Said Ramadhan is currently in Malaysia.I'm not sure when he'll be returning back home.(Or maybe he already went home?I'm not sure)

He was in Shah Alam Masjid few days ago and was in IKIM yesterday.(Yesterday was it?)- These were the news I've received from my sahabat.

So,those who have the opportunity and spare time can go and meet the 'wow' syeikh.He delivered illuminating speeches all over the world..

Till then,
Wassalam

it's my way...

Assalamu'alaikum..

Me: What I'm suppose to be after I've graduated?I'm confused now.I don't think I can handle those corruptions in the construction field.I need to decide it right away so that i can plan my life accordingly.

A: Then you can pursue to your master degree.

Me: Sounds good,but i want to shift from construction to something else.But let say i've finished my master,then what shall i do?I need to work.Who else wanna pay my bills etc?

A: Don't worry,Allah surely will help you.It's better to be rich in experience rather in money.

Me: u're right.I'm kindda adventurous guy.Maybe I should travel from one place to another.Working 'biasa-biasa sahaja' but gaining lot of experience.I should go to Turkey,Oman,USA,Canada,Syria etc..Maybe I could be a good translator or working as international relations for any NGOs.

A: Then,when're u getting married?With who?I don't think there are any girls wanted to marry with a guy with no secured jobs and keep on travelling.

Me: Ada rezeki ada la.It's not a big problem for me.As long as I'm still istiqamah in Islam and working on the path of Da'wah its ok for me.No spouse doesn't mean I couldn't survive.Allah knows better..

A: ......

Me: ........

Ibadhiyyah

Assalamu'alaikum..

Last few days,I was having a chat with my Omani's friend.We discussed on many things on cultures,languages,etc.

Suddenly,he asked me whether I ever know about ibadhiyyah or not.As I'm not really good in Arabic,for sure Ibadhiyyah never came across my mind.

He said that ibadhiyyah is a kind of sect like the four we have i.e. syafie,maliki,hanbali and hanafi.Most of the country in the North Africa such as Algeria,Tunisia etc. are practicing this kind of sect,even Oman.

I asked him what make it a major differences between ibadhiyyah and other sects?He explained to me some facts which later made me feel like, 'oh I need to read it more on myself.'

He gave me a link to a site where of course it is in arabic.Huhu..Very difficult one as the last time I read Arabic when I was in my secondary school.(Oh di matrik dulu ada sekejap baca arab,time exam APT.As I was exempted,then no longer belajar arab)

Wallahu'alam..

*Mixing with people from different background,country etc. can increase our knowledge.

Yusuf Islam

Assalamu'alaikum..

Alhamdulillah praise to Allah The Almighty for His Willings and Blessings,we are still living in this 'chaotic world'.We thank Allah for His mercy for giving us the opportunity to feel and appreciate the two 'nikmat' which are seldom being realized i.e. Islam and Iman.Hopefully we can push ourselves to strive for our best to sustain our condition in these two nikmat,Insha Allah.

I bet most of us recognized the World class phenomenal singer, Cat Steven or his Muslim's name,Yusuf Islam.

Last Friday,he was in IIUM for the Friday prayer and he delivered a short tazkirah after the Prayer.It was a remarkable speech and had created a huge crowd.

I just wanted to share one of his point where he said,"I like to do da'wah to the non-Muslims rather than to the Muslims".The Analogy he gave was simple and awesome.
Imagine there are two men, where the 1st man is drowning in the river while the other man is trying to jump into the river from a cliff.If you are there,looking at both situations,whom do you decided to go for and save the life?

I would go the the man who is drowning in the river and save his life.The person who intended to jump into the river,might jump and might not jump.In fact if he saw how difficult we are, trying to save the drowning man,he might not jump from the cliff.

This is how it works.The drowning man is like the non-Muslim where the other man is a Muslim.Got it?

Actually I'm one of Yusuf Islam 'fanatic fans'..Since I was 'small' I was introduced by his songs by my dad.My dad used to sing the 'Morning has broken' song previously.

Listening to his songs e.g. Father and son,Moon shadow,Wild world etc. really make me feel 'fresh and joy'.Even the songs from the I look I see album.

Yusuf Islam dedicated his life for educating the Muslims especially the children and youths.He opened few Islamic schools in London,South Africa etc.

He really inspired me to become one of the great Muslim scholar in the future,insha Allah.

Wallahu'alam

Notes:
1)Having the ability to master many languages is an advantage for a good preacher.
In fact,English is somehow become an essential for Muslims to be mastered.Not only through writing,but also communicating.

2)Still dreaming of having the opportunity to have a discussion with Yusuf Islam.
May Allah bless all of us..

3)Congratulations to my respected cousin,sis Aisyah for her wedding reception.Barakallahu lakuma wa jama'a bainakuma fi khair.Semoga kerja-kerja D&T masih dapat diteruskan.

Points post

Assalamu'alaikum..

Seems like I haven't updating my blog for a week after my last post since.
Pretty buzy down here dude..Not really buzy actually,but those who really know me might know how buzy i am..

Ok,this time no story telling etc.Just a short post to shoot out.And it will be in point form.Some of the points not really related to each other.Just those cranky things popped out from my mind and I just starts writing them out away.

1)I really enjoy working right now.No stress.Cool colleagues,nice working environment etc.In fact I need to deal with lots of people (read:foreign students)which really fits my interest.Knowing them,making friends with them etc.

2)One of the staff where I'm working right now is very good in PR (public relation).Everybody feel easy with him.I gonna learn from him.Kindda my mentor.At the same time every night I'm trying to finish my favorite book i.e How to win friend and influence people by Dale Carnegie.Believe me,the more I read,I felt like 'my Gosh,I'm still lack too many things'..Btw, this book need not to be rushed to finish it off. (as mentioned at the intro part.)Better if one could apply one by one the skills taught inside the book in each chapter before moving to the next chapter.Hence,not easy to finish this book.But trust me,it really enjoyable.(for those who loves human behaviors/psychology)

2)Oh, North Korea and South Korea seem to begin the war again..

3)Watehel was going on in Myanmar where 375 people died in the stampede.Aahh..Such a disaster.A disaster created by themselves.Allah izin...Nothing much to say..

4)Those who are reading Ths Star newspaper might know the 'Mind your English section'..Very useful section for me.I learnt a lot from there.Just flipped the page in today newspaper where a tickle-belly-damn-funny story was there.I was reading the newspaper at the office and couldn't stop myself from laughing silently.(But some of the staffs did realize my act and started asking me.)Want to know?Read it yourself.Hehehe

5)Currently 'melayan' some video clips I've downloaded from the youtube.International Quranic memorization competition in Dubai for youths.Subhanallah..'terharu menusuk kalbu'..I respect them for reasons;memorizing the whole Quran,very beautiful voice,still young (all are teenagers;belasan tahun).My favourite one is the boy from Egypt.He dressed like Tantawi,subhanallah very good voice he has and extremely good memorization.

6)Few days ago I had a small talk with one of the cleaner (mak cik cleaner)in the college.That mak cik said 'Budak bilik tu handsome,bergaya dll.(while pointing to the room).Tapi bilik macam tongkang pecah.'
I went to the guy's room for inspection and guess what?Rumah sampah elok lagi..Full of cigar butts,rubbish and very smelly.(macam hancing)..Wek!!-Bukan mahu memburukkan sesiapa,but please,how can a human live in such environment?Please take a lesson.Islam itu bersih dan suka pada kebersihan.-Poor girl if that guy is your BF..Depan kau wangi,kacak,belakang kau.....

7)My urban planning friends currently aren't in Malaysia.Some are in UK while some are in Hong Kong.Went for studio trip..Aahh what a lucky..

8)Now i'm working out at the university stadium for my own health.Running/jogging in the evening..Huhu..Well for the last few months,I felt like I've gained weight.Not 'tough' for sure.Hehe..But today I weighed my weight and it seems didn't changed a lot.Still the same..Still cannot donate my blood due to 'tak cukup berat'..So u can guess my weight.

9)Ever heard an Arabic term "Bi'sa akhi 'ashir"?? I just heard it.My Arab friend told me a story about it.Such a long story which is related to the Seerah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad Sallahu'alaihi Wassalam.Btw,it is a new info for me that the word "'ashir" is synonym with "Qabilah".Except that some country like Yemen,Lebanon etc preferred to use 'Ashir while Sa'udi etc. they used Qabilah..Huhu..

10)Just make new friends from Bangladeshi.While I was playing the table-tennis with my friend,they came and intended to join the game.

11)Oh the PTPTN loan receivers can convert the loans to scholarship if they scored 1st class degree by the end of their studies(according to the news)..Good news eh?But not for me.I don't care as I'm not PTPTN loan receiver..hehehe

12)USA is now having a new Islamic University.It is located in California.Started with 15 students and expecting to expand from time to time.Among the lecturers there is my favorite syeikh Yusuf Hamza.Currently the university is renting a block if i'm not mistaken from the California University before having its own buildings.If There are Religious university other than Islam in USA like Columbus and Rutgers,then it would be no problem for the establishment of the Islamic University.-Still trying to get accreditation.Please pray for them.

13)Just to tell that I'm suck in making friends.It is not because of them,but it's my fault and bad.And once I've 'marked' a particular person as *&$#@,then it'll be 'permanent' except for certain circumstances.Well,I don't blame myself for that as I'm a cynical type of person and perfect melancholic.FULL STOP..


Wallahu'alam...

*Please ignore the 'rude words' I'm using..Just to express the right things clearly and straight to the point.

mahu jadi soleh

Assalamu'alaikum..

It is really difficult to become a good Muslim.Once you've becoming a so called 'good muslim', you need to become musleh i.e.calling to people to become soleh.

Good things never come together with easiness.People need to have a high self motivation in preserving the good values or 'kesolehan' itu.Mujahdah an-nafs..Oh,I shouldn't use those 'impressive/wow terms'.

Soleh....

People can pretending to be soleh from their words,writing etc.But inside their heart,who knows?Only Allah...

People might say that the attitude of a writer reflects from his writing.Agree?No no no..You can't judge it as a whole.People can 'berlakon'from his writing.Even I can do that.I have basic islamic education and knowing lots of the 'islamic terms'.If i would using it in my writing and acting as if i'm an 'ustaz' those who didn't know me surely will think that i'm a 'good guy'..Err,,don't make me wrong.I'm not saying right now i'm a bad guy.It's just that i'm not reaching the level of what could say 'satisfaction'.I'm still kindda looking and searching..Still need lot of self reflection/muhasabah etc.

The most impotant thing is,our effort to become a good muslim.
I know,those who knowing me well surely comparing the old me and the current version.I don't care what people say.(like Prof.K used to say).Its up to you to judge people.

Hakikatnya kita sebagai manusia acapkali melakukan kesalahan dan kesilapan.Tidak terlepas seorang manusia itu dari melakukannya.Yang penting perlu ada kesedaran dan keinsafan untuk bertaubat.Bukankah ada pepatah yang berbunyi;
"Kullu bani adam khatta',wa khaira khattai tawwabin"
(setiap bani adam itu melakukan kesalahan.Sebaik-baik yang melakukan kesalahan adalah mereka yang bertaubat)

Perlu kita sedar,setiap tindak-tanduk kita akan di soal oleh Allah di akhirat kelak.Maka,berbahagia dan bijak lah seseorang itu jika ia memikirkan pengakhiran kehidupannya di 'sana' nanti.Kesedaran yang benar-benar dirasai,akan menjadi dapur pembakar seterusnya menolak nafsu seseorang untuk ber'amal dengan amalan-amalan yang soleh sertan sentiasa mengharapkan pengampunan dari Allah Rabbul Jalil.

Allah berfirman di dalam surah Ali Imran ayat 113 yang bermaksud;
"Dan bersegeralah kamu mencari ampunan dari tuhanmu dan mendapatkan syurga yang luasnya seluas langit dan bumi yang disediakan bagi orang-orang yang bertaqwa"




See,I can produce such a so called 'a good and islamic writing'.It's not that difficult to write such things.People can manipulate their ability to 'mengkaburi' readers judgement.But I don't want to cheat the readers by trying to 'showing off' my 'kesolehan.'Trust me,those who have the islamic background could utter quranic verses,hadiths etc.It is just a piece of cake for them.

Hence,please don't make yourself 'easily attracted' to those who are having those 'sweet writing,sopan-santun etc.'I didn't mean to judge people as a whole but this is what life is all about.It's reality.

The anaolgy is simple,I bet most of us having friends who are coupling (before married)..Can u compare his attitude when meeting/dating with his/her bf/gf and during he/she is with you?His/her room?

Some of my friends' room can be catagorized as 'tongkang pecah'.(surely u know what i meant).But when ever he wanted to go for a date,pergh...kemas habis.spray minyak wangi sini sana..

He is acting differently..It is same goes with writers..
Some of them just pretending to be good.But in reality,wallahu'alam.I don't like to judge people although I'm a kind of a cynical type.

The conclusion is,just be yourself.Try to be as good as possible.Sometimes need to push up a lil bit in doing good things.Allah will surely looks at your 'usaha' not at your 'propaganda'..

Wallahu'alam..

Jom jadi soleh!!

Buat cik ABC

Di Pagi Raya

Assalamu'alaikum..

This post might be a short post because it'll only telling about the story of 'pagi raya'..

While I was preparing myself with cloth (baju melayu),the takbir from the university masjid has started..But guess what..It was monotone..Well you know our malaysian society.Our takbir version is like a 'ringtone' (ringtone?apakah?not monotone)..'berlagu-lagu' and 'mendayu-dayu'.

I thought I was late..My watch stroke at 7.30am..Usually when i was at my hometown,our masjid will be announcing what time the sunat 'eid adha prayer will be performed the day before the 'eid.

Yesterday when I was in the university masjid,there were no such announcement.Even after solat,there were no takbir like what we do in our society.Everyone just keep silent and left the masjid..

So, I walked all the way from my room to the masjid.On my way there,I saw many people.The parking lots started to full.The university road started to jam.But I can't see any Malays..Oh,btw today i was wearing my baju melayu.No jubah-jubah..MALAYSIA!!

I spotted one group of africans.About 10 to 20 people.Their clothes were nice.COLORFUL!Planned to walk with them..(Saja nak buat kawan baru).But I felt like oh,i'm too tiny among them.My height is about their stomach level.Huhu..Even I couldn't understand what they were talking.(Perhaps they are speaking Swahili)

So I walked alone until I met a group of chinese/Korean/Japanese.I'm not sure where are they coming from.But they have the 'chinese' faces.All of them wearing robe.Waa..cool eh?They were about 10 of them.Plus they were some sisters among them.(Oh malu la..Ada sisters)

At last,i walked all the way alone until i reached the masjid.Oh,I was early.Alhamdulillah.Only few people in the masjid.So,after solah sunat tahiyatul masjid,I sat and started to takbir.Oh,the takbir sometimes 'mendayu-dayu' and sometimes not.Depend on the 'tekong'..

After a while,people started to coming and crowding the masjid.Oh,I was sitting at a wrong spot.It was the area of Africans.My left,right,infront,back side were all Africans.(terasa seperti anak kecil di celah2 orang besar).

8.30am,we started to perform the prayer.The khutbah was delivered by Dr....from department of general studies.The 1st khutbah was in Arabic and the 2nd was in English..Short but 'padat'.It was about the seerah of prophet Abraham and Ishmael.The 'ibrah etc.It was a good reminder for me..

Finished khutbah,I was 'stuck' inside the masjid.Too many people..All the africans beside me are so TALL..(tersepit di celah2).Yah Allah,ni baru kat masjid UIA.I couldn't imagine the thousands of Muslim in Mecca right now,performing the Hajj.

At the same time,trying to 'jenguk-jenguk' looking for my friends(kot-kot ada)or any Malays.But I couldn't spot one.Tengah-tengah mencari tu,I found a group of Malays.Around 10 to 20..But when I came near,they aint malay.I mean from Malaysia.They were Indonesian.Hohoho..

So,after struggling for a moment,at last berjaya melepaskan diri di pintu masjid.Alhamdulillah..

Oh,seems like it was only me having no friends..Every where I looked,there were groups of students.African group,Algerian group,Bosnian group,Yemeni group etc..

Again,I walked all the way to my room alone..

Habis....

*Lontong nak kena perangat pulak ni..Nasi himpit dah di potong-potong..Just waiting for any visitors coming to my room..(hehehe..)

Wallahu'alam.
Wassalam..

Don't be sad..(sbb tak balik raya)

Assalamu'alaikum..

Ok,this is my 2nd post in one day.Hehehe.Kindda 'meroyan' ever since I'm left here alone.(Oh suddenly this reminds me on Zain Bikha's song;You're never alone..)

Just now after maghrib at the musolla, i've met one of my Yemeni's friend.Just asked him what is he planning to do for tomorrow.He said he'll be participating for a holiday trip organized by the Yemeni students association.Hehehe..I just about to join them before I've cancelled it right moment.Guess what?They're going for a holiday trip to Bangkok,Thailand... T_T

I took out my mobile phone from my pocket and decided to message my Palestinian friends for the same reason.

Suddenly one of my Sa'udi Arabian friend came.We had a long chat at the cafeteria. (oh the cafe will be closed tomorrow,hence I've prepared with few packet of instant noodle a.k.a meggi (but not meggi brand. Boycott!!)

He told me that one of our Kenyan friend who is currently doing his PhD. has returned home few days back.He'll only coming back after few months.Oh,then i'll lost another one good foreign friend here.The Kenyan guy was my Arabic xifu previously.He even was my counselor and my place to burst out some of my "study stress"..He was such a good advisor of mine.

Oh,back to the issue,my sa'udi friend suddenly asked me about my future wife criteria.He then told me about his.We had a different idea and I argued a bit.But,yeah different people having different point of view.Should I tell the details of the story/arguments?(Ok undi,sape nak tahu angkat tangan!!)

Then,performing isyak at the university's masjid.No malays at the masjid except 3 to 4 persons.The rest were foreigners..

On my way back,met new foreign's friend.A guy from Morocco.After ta'aruf here and there,I walked to my room..

Then met my respected sahabat,Ali Husni.He was my senior at MATRI and just finished his undergraduate studies this semester.He was about to leave to Shah Alam tonight.So,just having a short talk with him.

Habis...Tamat..The End..

*Serious tak rasa sedih pun..Biasa je..
Just received an sms from my ummi.
"salam perantauan buat anak ummi yang tak balik beraya di rumah.Nanti kita bual lagi.Ummi nak pergi iron baju."

tiba-tiba baru teringat.Oh,tak iron lagi baju melayu.Jap lagi la iron.Sambil iron sambil nyanyi dendang perantau.Eh silap,sambil takbir raya..

Tapi terfikir pulak,malas la pakai baju melayu.Pakai jubah je la esok,Jubah dah ber 'iron'.Pakai jubah bleh cover2 jadi foreigner..Kekeke..

Ok,wassalam..

*Nak kena pi masak rendang pulak ni..lontong tak siap lagi..Haih..penat-penat..

Pandang hadapan dan belakang,toleh kanan dan kiri...

Assalamu'alaikum..

(Post kali ini di dalam bahasa melayu)
Salam 'Aid Adha buat semua masyarakat islam..

Ketika sedang menaip ini,fikiran sedang melayang-layang jauh ke kampung halaman.."Hmm..agaknya ummi sedang masak apa ye?"

If i would be at home this moment,maka sayalah satu-satunya anak lelaki ummi dan abah yang akan turun ke dapur meringankan kerja-kerja ummi.. (ini bukan ayat promote diri).
Masak lontong,buat rendang etc memang saya pakar.Tak la pakar,tapi kalau orang makan tu dia akan tambah dalam dua ke tiga kali la..Ummi pun kadang-kadang memuji jejaka ummi yang sorang ni sebab selalu turun ke dapur.Pada ketika ummi memuji,tiba-tiba terasa mahu bersimpuh di tepi dapur berhampiran tempat goreng ikan ala-ala gaya seorang anak dara,sambil menyimpul-nyimpulkan hujung rambut..Hahaha.

Kalau hari-hari biasa tu,usually lauk-lauk untuk lunch saya akan masak.Sayur campur,sambal tumis,gulai,ayam kicap,dan lain-lain..Ye la,asyik ummi je kena turun dapur.Sekali-sekala anak ummi ni balik,kena la ringankan beban ummi abah..(promote diri lagi)

Bukan apa,disebabkan raya haji tahun ini saya tidak balik (beraya di university bersama-sama kawan-kawan foreigners),maka saya tidak dapat tolong masak..Itu yang tiba-tiba rindu tu.Teringat habis segala lauk-pauk yang nak dimasak.

Nak masak kat bilik?Mana ada dapur and segala macam peralatan tu.Masak megi boleh la..

Maka,hari raya kali ini saya tak tau nak pi mana..Esok solat raya di masjid university.Then,kalau duit cukup,plan nak gi jalan-jalan KL.Gi KLCC ke,Low Yatt ke.Tapi tu pun kalau ADA DUIT..Gaya macam duit tengah nazak..

Kalau tak dak duit,maka akan cuba follow kawan-kawan foreigners pi mana-mana.Paling kurang lepak bilik diaorang and borak-borak la..

Teringin nak pi melapah daging..Tapi kat mana?Kenderaan pun tak dak.Paling kurang kalau ada moto,boleh ronda-ronda KL sambil bawak pisau.(bukan nak bunuh orang).Jumpa mana-mana orang tengah melapah,join la..Hahaha..muka tak malu.

Kalau tak,just lepak di bilik buat kerja..Btw,people might asked why out of sudden saya tak balik.Sebenarnya saya nak siapkan research untuk final year dissertation.Tu yang tak balik.Tapi,kalau tak balik,i need to pay for hostel fees sebab duduk time cuti.Bagi mengelakkan kena bayar which is RM3.50/day,saya pun kerja la part time.At least ada reason duduk hostel.Bukan saja-saja nak habiskan bill electric dan air.

So,sekarang ni,kerja dan study.2 in 1.Alhamdulillah ada la gaji sikit untuk survive.Untuk menyara keluarga dan membeli susu anak.(apakah?)

Oh itu hari ada kawan-kawan kata,saya ni tak sayang family sebab tak balik rumah.Ehem2..sekarang ni bukan isu sayang or tak sayang.Kalau balik rumah tapi dok bela perut dan buat taik mata je buat apa?Sayang kepada keluarga bukan semata-mata pulang ke rumah.Mendoakan mereka setiap masa,meringankan beban mereka dll juga tanda kasih-sayang.Saya ni jenis 'family man' ok!.

Sudah malas mahu bercerita...Kepada mereka-mereka yang ada di area2 KL dan tak ke mana-mana.Jika ada aktiviti2 yang menarik,sihat dan soleh,jagan lupa ajak saya.Huhu

Kenapa tajuk post ni Pandang hadapan dan belakang,toleh kanan dan kiri?Sebabnya,pada ketika ini,jika saya pandang hadapan dan belakang,toleh kanan dan kiri,apa yang saya nampak hanyalah student-student foreigners..Melayu dah tak dak..Maka,saya terasa seperti berada di perantauan..hehehe..

Salam 'Aid Adha dari NJ di Konya,Turki. (kekeke)

(Hanya gambar sisi.Gambar full face tak leh tunjuk.)

Till then,
Wassalam..

Notes:

1)Mahu target before bukak sem baru sudah berjaya menyiapkan 3 chapters untuk dissertation.Semoga Allah permudahkan.

2)Insya Allah nak start semula belajar bahasa Arab cuti ni..

sentap!!

Assalamu'alaikum..

Barangkali ini vocab baru (actually dah lama cuma dah lama tak guna)untuk kebelakangan ini."Sentap!"

Sebelum itu,kenapakah post-post saya makin banyak dalam BM?Apakah?

Ok2,for my own good,i need to improve and keep on practicing using english.Why?

1)Next sem i'll be starting writing up my dissertation.Hence need a good english skills

2)Always meet my foreign friends.So,i need to use english to communicate with them.

3)(Mahu berkahwin dengan orang USA..)-Apakah??-This reason is not relevant.(so,i need to change/alter a lil bit of this reason.Mahu berkerja/migrate ke USA.(jika ada jodoh di sana,ada la..Insya Allah)

Yesterday i met my senior.He was my senior at QS department.Just graduated last October and currently working at the QS firm.(One of the most established QS firm in Malaysia).We had a long chat.

Actually,he wanted to 'belanja' dinner.But since I've taken my dinner a bit earlier so just have a glass of fruit juice.

Sungguh 'sentap' having conversation with him.He is soooooo buzy.Sometimes (actually most of the time)he need to go to work during weekend.OMG!! Left home as early as 8am and returned home as late as 11pm.

Handling projects locally and internationally. (one project in Hong Kong).."SENTAP"

I keep on thinking.How i'm going to survive later on?I didn't mean I hate pressure (sometimes i like working under pressure).What I'm concerning here is,i'm afraid i couldn't stand long for Halaqah and programs.I bet after 11pm,surely my physical will b totally FLAT!..

Worst if that day u need to do site valuation!.He told me that he got 1 prject where he need to do the valuation for the whole day.Under the freaking hot burning sun shine.If the project is big and complex + client a bit 'cerewet' u need to face it all.

He said,"aku balik rumah je,tido terus!.Esok awal2 nak kena gerak g office dah"

Hmm...

If i'm still single,then i could say 'ok la..'.But once i'm married,then i don't think it really fits me.I don't want to see my children ABANDONED..Lack of 'kasih-sayang',didn't manage to see their dad the whole day,didn't have the chance to say 'good bye dad!', or sitting on his daddy's lap while listening to seerah etc. (oh jauhnya aku berangan..kekeke..But I'll do that to my future kids,insha Allah)

In fact,i myself will b having no time for halaqah..No way!

So,what now?It's my nature of work and I bet,those working in the construction industry will be facing the same thing.Unless u've got years experiences and qualified to establish your own firm and be the boss.Then,the workload will be lesser.

May be i was born to be 'single' till the end of my life.(tiba-tiba teringat kisah Badi'uzzaman Sa'id Nursi)

I was thinking of being a lecturer the other day.But,i don't think it really fits me.Teaching?..Salah ajar anak orang,sapa susah?No no no..not teaching..

Ustaz?Lagi parah..kucar-kacir ummah.Habis tersimpang-siur serta porak-peranda masyarakat..No no no..not suitable either.

Haa!! got one! what is it?...Let it be secret between me n Allah...

-End of story-

Wassalam...

Minutes with Murobbi

Assalamu'alaikum.

Hari ini rasa sedikit 'aura'.
Bukan mahu ber 'metafora' atau 'hiperbola'.
Tapi benar..Hati sedikit tersentuh dan gembira..

(Oh ini bukan sajak.Sila baca dengan intonasi biasa.Seperti membaca journals dan articles untuk dissertation)

Betullah kata-kata yang berbunyi,

"HIkmah orang tua bersama semangat para pemuda" (sebenarnya tak berapa bagus saya rasa if guna tua.Maybe I should replace it with orang yang banyak pengalaman).

Alhamdulillah hari ini Allah bagi kesempatan untuk bersama dengan salah seorang pak cik saya.Oh,saya kenal pak cik ini dah agak lama.Dari sekolah menengah.

Allah izin hari ini saya berkesmpatan bersama pak cik RB dari pagi sehingga petang.Mengambil dan menghantar beliau di Kajang.

Sungguh,tersentuh hati bila mendengar bait-bait kalimat dari mulut pak cik RB.Sepanjang perjalanan ketika mengambil dan menghantar beliau,penuh dengan perkongsian. (Tapi mintak maaf pak cik,ana punya 'PR/Public relation dengan syuyukh ni agak lemah.Jadi kelu dan buntu bila berbicara/ingin berbual dengan pak cik.Rasa segan)

Setiap minit bersama beliau,penuh dengan hikmah.Saya bukanlah orang-orang yang selalu rapat dengan para murobbi.Bukan kerana tidak mahu,tetapi saya segan.(Biasalah bila dah tak matang,segan la sikit)

Ok,tak mau cerita panjang-panjang,biarlah pengalaman manis ni antara saya dan Allah.

Sebelum nak ciao,ni antara ayat pak cik RB yang agak menyentuh hati yang kotor ini.

"Da'wah is calling people to where you are.If you were not there,they won't come".

Paham?Paham-pahamkan lah sendiri...Sape yang tak paham,maksudnya dia ok la..For those yang macam I ni,agak 'sentap'!!

ok,wassalam..

*Satu ayat yg saya dapat dari sorang sahabat baik saya secara tidak langsung. (oh dia senior saya)"Kematangan kita sepatutnya selari dengan fikrah islam yang kita ada".

Maka sekali lagi saya 'sentap'!!

SORRY...

Salam...

First of all i felt like, should i laugh for all these things?

My bad actually...But it wasn't not my fault.'They' started first..

Some of my friends/classmates being 'PRANK' by me..kekeke

Alkisahnya......

ok,some of my classmates finished their exam today while some tommorrow.I'm among who will be finishing the exam tomorrow.So,those who had finished the exam kindda psychoing their friends who are still under 'exam stress'.

They keep on teasing us..
"Eh nak celebrate mana ek dh abis exam?"
"Eh jom packing barang nak balik rumah."
"Ape ni study2..Orang dah habis exam la."

and so on....

Even I received some of those psycho words from them.Huh..(Tapi tak terpsycho pun.Sbb my E.Q quite stable and I'm kindda cool type of person =))

But some of my friends who are among those to finished the exam tomorrow kindda 'terpsycho'

So,in bringing back the 'maruah' of my friends I pranked some of them who had finished their exam.Even those who weren't teasing me,terkena jua.Sorry..hehehe

How i did it?Just simple.Texted a short message to them n I received few phone calls which later it turned out to be kinnda 'false alarm'..sorry bik!

Even some of them marah-marah n said,"Woi kau dah pandai ek prank orang!.Mana kau blajar buat benda-benda ni ha?!!" I just keep laughing n at the end seeking their apology.

Well,do not under estimate me..I could do anything beyond your imagination..Hehe.especially under tense situation..

So,this post is dedicated to those I've pranked,Especially my classmates who wasn't the one who keep on teasing me..
Please pray for our final paper tomorrow.

Wassalam...

ponder upon...

One day,the Great Imam As-Syafi'ie went to his teacher and complaining about the weakness of his memory.His teacher told him to abandon the rebellion/sins,for knowledge is a light.And the light of Allah is not bestowed upon the rebel/sinner.

*Isk3..patutlah ngaji payah benor nak masuk.Banyak dosa rupanya aku ni..

Don't shy lil girl

Salam.
May Allah bless us..

I was walking to the masjid for isya' when suddenly I saw two lil kids was running here and there.One girl and one boy.Sibling maybe..

The boy is about 5 years old while the lil girl is about 3 or 4 years.Both were wearing traditional malay dress i.e. baju melayu and baju kurung + 'tudung comel'
I looked at them and could 'feel the joy'..

The lil girl kept on shouting to his brother, "Abang,jangan la lari laju-laju sangat,nanti adik jatuh!"

Tengah-tengah menjerit tu,suddenly the lil girl stumbled and fall down on the ground,or i would say on the tarmac.

"Waa!!" cried the lil girl.Her brother at that time was a bit far from her compared to me.So,I rushed to her and picked her up.She wasn't realized I was picking her up and sapu-sapau her hands.She kept on crying.I just about to asked her,"sakit kat mana adik?",when her brother showed up.

Then,she turned her head and looked at me in blurr.(maybe she thought her brother was the one who picked her up)

Suddenly,she just stopped crying and walked away like nothing happened and said to her brother.

"haa..kan adik dah cakap,jangan lari.Kan dah jatuh." (nada matang)

I just kindda "erk?"(tiba-tiba terasa that lil girl macho habis.Pandai pulak dia cover n jadi matang.)

Ooo lil girl.Don't you feel shy with me..I just wanted to help you.Haih..adik kecik oii..macam-macam ragam kanak-kanak ni..

Wallahu'alam..

*Sometimes,when you look at kids they can somehow make you feel calm and relax.
Betul lah our Propher said,

"Each and every child were born in fitrah(pure/muslim).Their parent are the one who colours them whether to be a jew,a christian or 'majusi'."-aw kama qal.

*Oh,almost two days I couldn't sleep in good.I keep on remembering my lil nephew.

I was holding my nephew.

me and my nephew..
