Palestine updates

2009-11-17T09:41:00.000-08:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

HasbunAllah wa ne'mal wakeel..........

1. Israel is going ahead with a new settlement project, despite US' repeated requests for it to stop all new settlements.

2. EU rejects to push the UN for recognition of a Palestinian state. Foreign Minister of Sweden--which currently holds the rotating presidency said "I would hope that we would be in a position to recognise a Palestinian state, but there has to be one first, so I think that is somewhat premature.." so right this very instant, there is no such state called Palestine, it has been totally wiped out from the UN Map.. when actually it is being occupied by Israelis, who in the first place have no country of their own to go back to if Palestinians were to free their country from the occupation..

3. Israel the big bully will only proceed with a "pre-agreed on" discussion with Palestine only Palestine is willing to go to the negotiation table without terms.. Only Israel and Israel alone sets terms. They set terms with America, EU, Pelstine, Middle East. But nobody, nobody else, when expecting to discuss with Israel, should come up with any terms whatsoever, or else be considered as undiplomatic, not wanting to negotiate, and interested only in provocating the vulnerable state of Israel.

4. Settlers (living on Palestinian land)throwstones at Palestinian boys and girls who go to school each day as the pass through the villages.. Aren't they supposed to show some gratitude? Come on, leave the Palestinians alone, you have done enough evacuating them from their land.. you still need to go on with the mental and physical torture...??? hasbunaAllah wane'malwakeel..

5. US House of Representatives voted condemnation against the Goldstone Report. 344-36 vote.. i wonder who the 36 were? were they for real, or just there to show that it is not unanimous but rather a democratic act, shown by Mother Democracy herself.. America..

HasbunaAllah wa Nekmalwakeel...

commemorating the Berlin Wall

2009-11-09T21:37:00.000-08:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

did you know that the wall surrounding Gaza and the West Bank is 8 metres high? That's twice the height of the Berlin Wall.. and when finished (seriously,don't tell me it's still unfinished??) it'll be 750 kilometres.. 4 times longer than the Berlin Wall.

Commemorating the 20th anniversary after the fall of the Berlin Wall, a new wall, an ultimate humiliation to democracy has been set up, under the supervision of Mother Democracy herself.. America.

Stop the wall!!

catching up with the past:

1. Eid Mubarak to all my beloved out there. Please forgive me for all my mistakes, please give me a chance to improve, and if there was anything, anything at all between us, insyaAllah from my side, it's forgive and forget.

2. Salam Ramadhan, the 29 days had passed so quickly, hopefully we were able to repent, we were given the chance to do our best in lailatul qadr, may Allah give us the chance to be able to experience a new ramadhan in a new year.

3. A few days and it's Zulqaeda already, one of the haram months, where Allah prohibits war and multiplies the ajr of our good deeds.. Let's do what we can from sadaqa to saum, from prayers to zikr. And remember, you do not necessarily need to follow people in doing good deeds, do what you do best, concentrate and do it only lillah, insyaAllah the best ajr will be yours..!

4. And a special thank you to all my family and friends who came to my wedding in July. Alhamdulillah it was a wonderful gathering.. Although i didnt get the chance to spent that much time with everyone, but alhamdulillah at least we met and to think that you people spent your precious time to come.. subhanAllah, may Allah reward you for that. Uqbalkum, and please pray for us..

Blogging : Credit for the hereafter

2009-06-06T02:08:00.000-07:00

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh.

I remember a blogger, who stopped blogging because he was sick of the blogging community where most people are only interested in sharing bits and pieces of what they eat today, where they shop tomorrow and what they think of that person's hat and this person's smile.. Heheh, he was all out to boycott the bloggers community.. He was pissed off by the fact that many bloggers wrote petty things which were supposed to be of personal concern rather that the whole world.. I agreed to some extent.

I got tired of reading publicized diaries too, so what i did was to forget about them, and go to blogs which are more meaningful, enlightening and informative. I don't think regressing from blogging altogether is the answer. And anyway, it IS a free country.. People can do whatever they want to do nowadays, especially since most people don't really hold on to any specific values. Publicly talk about your personal life, and deepest feelings.. Or remain mysterious, it's all up to you.

In islam however, whatever you do is accounted for, and there are specific guidelines which you need to abide in order to be on the right track. Islam states that everything you do should first be preceded by your intentions, "Innama el-A'malu binniyyah." Islam teaches us to try to make every single detail in life worthwhile, and this starts with a good, clean intention.

So why do you blog? What do you blog? Why do you blog what you blog? These are the questions which should always play in the minds of muslim bloggers, in order to not in the end spend the 30 minutes in your 24 hrs doing something absolutely meaningles.. (haba-an manthura)..

And why do you comment? How do you Comment? To whom the comment is directed? And what do you feel when people comment on your postings.. all these are small itsy bitsy stuffs which when taken good care of, could lead to big profit in the hereafter, adding points to your credit..

Allah knows best!

Pride and Prejudice

2009-06-04T20:07:00.000-07:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

when communicating, i guess without transparency, there's bound to be some sort of insecurity towards the other person. this is what you call assumption or "dzhann".

Allah says in the Quran إن بعض ظن إثم meaning that what you assume towards people could easily be untrue, and so, sinful to you..

one thing i learn from assumptions, is to NOT put YOURSELF in a position which leads to assumptions and accusations from others.. try as hard as you can to be transparent and communicate well.. (sure saves lots of trouble). Another thing is, whenever you start assuming, STOP. IMMEDIATELY!

Oh, and Pride.. pride does lead to more assumptions, and makes communications more complicated.. so, start deflating your ego for better results. :>

Saya dan Pemandu tremco..

2009-05-28T15:02:00.000-07:00

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

Duduk di Mesir, bergelumang dengan ramai orang susah, memang sangat mendidik. Mudah-mudahan Allah jadikan kita dikalangan mereka yang mahu mendidik diri..

Tadi, naik microbus (tremco : sebutan di kalangan orang melayu) dari Haiyu Sabek ke Nadi Sikkah. Tambangnya LE1.25. Untuk perjalanan yang agak dekat, memang terasa agak perit setiap kali mengeluarkan lebih LE1.25 dari Haiyu Sabek, tapi pada hakikatnya, microbus memang kenderaan awam kedua termurah (selepas bas 50pt).

Kalau dulu (7 tahun yang lampau).. bayaran microbus tak begitu mahal. LE1.00 dari Haiyu Asyir ke Ramses, kalau dari Haiyu 7 pula, kadang-kadang ada pemandu yang pemurah, 75pt dapat sampai ke Ramses dah, dan kalau kita minta ke Nadi Sikkah, biasanya dikurangkan lagi bayaran tambang. Tapi kini, dari mana-mana pukul rata LE1.25.

Kembali ke pemandu tremco yang tadi. Ada penumpang yang minta untuk turun di Ta’min As-Sihi (Hospital terkenal di Rab’ah). Kalau ikut jalan laluan microbus yang biasa, sememangnya tak lalu, namun pemandu tersebut mengatakan ya, dan mengajak penumpang naik. Sampai di hujung Sabek, pemandu meminta penumpang turun dan menyuruhnya berjalan dari situ ke hospital tersebut. Saya yang dibelakang ni hanya menggelengkan kepala. Kasihan kepada penumpang yang dah bayar tambang tapi terpaksa berjalan setengah kilometer lagi pada tengah hari yang panas terik.

Begitulah hari-hari di Mesir, ada saja adegan-adegan yang tak enak dilihat, kasihan juga penumpang tadi.. Dalam hati, dah terfikir betapa zalimnya si pemandu.. Mengambil kesempatan ke atas menumpang yang lemah (yang gayanya seperti orang kampung..)

Microbus terus belok ke kiri, memandu ke arah Madinah Jamiyyah di Haiyu Sadis, tiba-tiba pemandu menjerit ke arah kami… “Siapa yang turun di Nadi Sikkah? Nah baki, 25pt.” Pelik. Hairan bin Ajaib. Tak pernah sebelum ni dapat baki kalau turun di Nadi Sikkah. Biasanya bayar penuh. Herm.. rupa-rupanya pemandu yang saya anggapkan “zalim” tadi, taklah sezalim yang disangkakan.. Malah pemurah dan baik hati. Sungguh, sejak kenaikan harga mendadak semua kenderaan awam sekitar dua tahun yang lalu, rasanya ini kali pertama saya naik microbus dengan harga yang sebegitu murah.

Gelagat pemandu microbus memang sukar untuk ditafsir. Banyak unexpected expectations. Pernah sekali saya bertanya kepada pemandu, dalam perjalanan ke Iskandariah.. “Berapa lama perjalanan ni pakcik?” Jawapannya? Panjang, sarat dengan tazkirah.. katanya, kita buat apa yang termampu, dia sebagai pemandu, akan memandu dengan hemat (hehe! ~tapi betul, Alhamdulillah pemandu ni tak speeding dan pandu dengan penuh cermat), kami yang dalam van ni duduk dan berdoa, insyaAllah akan sampai ke destinasi. Van ada, jalan ada, pemandu dan penumpang pun ada. Paling penting tawakkal pada Allah, moga Allah selamtkan kita sepanjang perjalanan.. Fuuuhh.. berpeluh juga dengar.

Kalau pemandu yang buat kita bagai nak marah pun ramai. Terutama yang suka nak tipu duit tambang. Al-maklum, tambang tak begitu tetap.. Kadang-kadang dari Nadi Sikkah ke Awal Abbas 50pt, kadang-kadang 75pt. Beza 25pt boleh buat kita naik merah padam. Bukan sebab duit, tapi sebab rasa tertindas.

Tapi ini tarbiyyah juga, kan? Tarbiyyah untuk cuba melupakan tuntutan-tuntutan dan hak diri sendiri.. Tapi menunaikan hak ke atas orang lain. Tarbiyyah untuk kita ingat yang Allah tu Maha Adil, hak yang tak tertunai di dunia, akan ditunaikan di akhirat..

Kadang-kadang terfikir seorang diri.. hai si pemandu tremco yang mengambil rubu’-rubu’ (25pt) penumpang.. kalaulah dikau tahu betapa nilai rubu’ tu di akhirat kelak, pasti engkau tinggalkan.. Sedangkan rubu’ itu di dunia ini tetap rubu’, tak mampu nak beli lebih dari sebungkus wafer yang kecil..

Halalkan sajalah. Kalau saya halalkan Alhamdulillah, si pemandu akan terlepas dari dosa rubu’ dan saya, tetap akan dapatkan hak saya di akhirat. Win-win, kan? Namun, mungkin tak ramai yang fikir begini… dan lebih sedih lagi, di negara miskin ini, ramai yang tak mampu nak menanggung kekurangan walaupun hanya sekadar rubu’ sehari, mereka ini dizalimi.

Alhamdulillah, saya masih mampu nak burn-kan rubu’ saya, malah lebih dari rubu’ pun.. Tertunggu-tunggu pengalaman hari esok dengan si pemandu tremco lagi. :>

Naqba law

At Sunday's cabinet meeting, ministers also approved a draft law banning commemoration of the Naqba, or "catastrophe" as it is referred to by Arabs, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians left their homes during the creation of Israel in 1948.

The draft law is scheduled to be submitted for parliamentary approval next week and will propose punishment of up to three years in prison, an official told the AFP news agency.

The law was brought forward at the instigation of the ultra-nationalist Yisrael Beitenu party of Avigdor Lieberman, the foreign minister.

Yisrael Beitenu, Israel's third biggest party with 15 of the 120 seats in parliament, targeted Israel's Arab minority during this year's election campaign, adopting the slogan "No Citizenship Without Loyalty."

About 1.2 million Palestinians live inside Israel.

They are descended from 160,000 Palestinians who remained on their land after the establishment of Israel in 1948.

"Musuh bermain dengan masa. Mereka memerlukan lagi masa untuk mengYahudikan bandar Jerusalem, mengIsraelkan keseluruhan negara Palestin dan mencipta sejarah baru. Sedang ramai pemimpin umat Islam memerlukan masa juga, tetapi untuk mengkayakan diri dan keluarga serta bermegah dikenang sejarah sebagai ketua negara, walau tidak mempunyai apa-apa agenda Islam dan agenda mengagungkan umatnya."

Komen Dr M tentang Cyberjaya

Sementara itu dalam perkembangan lain, Dr Mahathir menyatakan rasa tidak puas hatinya terhadap kelancaran pembangunan Cyberjaya yang dimulakan sejak 12 tahun lalu.

Sebagai pencetus idea kewujudan Cyberjaya, beliau berkata, perancangan menjadikan Cyberjaya sebagai sebuah kawasan komuniti intelektual terdiri daripada penduduk tempatan dan luar negara gagal dicapai.

Katanya, perancangan awal Cyberjaya ialah kerajaan ketika itu mahu ramai warga asing tinggal di situ dalam persekitaran istimewa termasuk kewujudan kelab untuk berehat dan berinteraksi sesama mereka.

"Sebaliknya, apa yang saya dapati ialah orang ramai lebih cenderung untuk tinggal di luar (Cyberjaya) dan datang bekerja di sini... sebab itu kita dapat lihat banyak kereta di sini kerana mereka tinggal jauh dan terpaksa memandu ke sini.

"Saya lebih suka jika mereka tinggal di sini, berjumpa di kelab untuk berehat dan berinteraksi serta boleh berjalan kaki ke pejabat masing-masing. Itu yang dirancangkan tetapi ia tidak berlaku," katanya.

Are we looking for democracy?

2009-04-20T04:54:00.000-07:00

"Undi majoriti semata-mata tidak menjadikan keputusan tepat dan benar walaupun ia mungkin sah dari segi idari/pengurusan. Ini perbezaan antara syura dan demokrasi."
~Ustaz Abdullah Zaik

So are we looking for democracy? Or are we looking for justice? As a muslim, I know I'm in search for the truth, I'm struggling to bring back justice into this world. And justice is NOT equality, not in most cases.

Democracy may say that it's her rights to become a lesbian, and his rights to become gay.. Democracy may claim that women should be given the same rights as men, when they actually have different needs and different roles in the society. (Alan and Barbara Pease know better..)

In democracy, people vote against what they dislike (regardless of its relevance, the goodness it brings) and vote for what they like (even if it leads to destruction of civilization..)

We are living in the era of corrupted rights, the rights to do just whatever you want without giving thought towards the consequences it may lead to in the future. Democracy does not lead to sustainable developement.. No it doesn't..

No, I'm sure that I'm not looking for the man-made democracy.. I'm taking myself a step further, Why should i compromise for something less? Men and the biased laws and rules they make.

2009-01-25T18:29:00.000-08:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah..

Israel has finally withdrawn from Gaza Strip, without achieving a single victory, and had only managed to cause major destruction. Gaza Strip is still Gaza, the muslims there are still there, those who died took tickets straight to heaven, and Hamas is as powerful as ever. Alhamdulillah, Lakal hamd ya Rabb..

There's no one in this world to thank other than Allah Himself, for the help that He gave to our brothers and sisters over there and ensured that they stayed steadfast through the tribulations. They have always been steadfast, from day one they chose Hamas to represent their voices, they have chosen to retaliate and fight against the zionist regime. and biiznillah nothing in this world could shake this faith.

Yesterday, one of the headlines in aljazeera.net/english stated that the children were already going to school. SubhanAllah.. Gamda!! Gamda Awi!! (That's egyptian for "strong") The Palestinian children have extraordinary strength and motivation.. living in rubble is not an excuse for them not to go to school. Reflecting upon the excuses i gave to not go to school when i was a kid, they sounded so lame and unimportant.

Israelis on the other hand, portrayed themselves as big bullies and cowards, pouring acid rain on women and children and now hiding themselves to avoid war crime conviction. Harhar.. Just like the malay saying, "Baling batu sembunyi tangan!"

The current israeli government must be peeing in their pants right now. They've nothing but terror in gaza, and their soldiers and commanders are at stake for war crime conviction, and Hamas and the Palestinians still manage to stand tall, beneath the rubble!

The zionist regime might have been able to cause trouble in Muslim countries all over the world, they might have prevented islam from being applied in all the other muslim countries, they might have been able to manipulate the ballot boxes all over the world and ensured that the leaders of the Islamic world are American puppets.. but their absolute failure in ensuring a small strip just next to them from becoming part of their neo-colonization is just too embarrassing for them to live with!

Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah.. May Allah give us the chance to be part this victory.

Islam is going to win, and why not when the whole world needs it. What we see in the Islamic World today is not the Islam which Rasulullah and the sahabas brought, what we see today is the result of imperialism and the efforts of the western world to prevent islam's uprising. The uprising will happen. And there are people working towards it this very instance, in every single place on earth. You can suppress it but you can never stop it. And when the time comes, what will be, will be.

It's a big loss for the zionists and those who support them to not believe in Allah and fate. Or to believe in it but prefer to live in denial.

Ad-dunya Jannatul Kafir.. Wa sijnul mukmin.. We have a better place awaiting for us after this.. What's to a few green bills with benjamin franklin's face on them?

Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah..

getting worse

2009-01-19T00:34:00.000-08:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

things are getting worse, says who it can't? for instance, Barack Obama, is worse than Bush. I'm sure that many were expecting something different with Obama, and better. I mean, who can be worse that Bush, seriously? But hey, the world is full of surprises. And Obama being worse, is another expected surprise.

First of all, even before he was elected, he told the world of his undivided support to israel, he went to sderot, and he said that israel can never be without Jerusalem..

Then, the 24-day bombardment on Palestine, and he dare not say a thing. We'd think that he's too busy thnking about the economic mess Bush made. May be so, but he's inauguration doesn't really prove it. Costing more than USD150 mil, with a party around USD48 mil, it is doubtful that he cares about the sufferings Americans are going through just to make ends meet, the unpaid mortgages, the jobless graduates. Oh, and remember, he was actually on an all expense paid holiday in Hawaii during the first few days of the attack on Gaza.

I don't care about Obama, seriously i don't. I have never expected things will change for the better if he was up there. And they won't.

Things won't change with mere change of a person in the govt when the whole nation is still indoctrinated with false believes and life's illusions.

The only way to change the world is to know where you are headed. North-south-east-west.

I see a brighter future, Allah knows when. But it is there. not in Obama nor in any of the US presidents. but in us, if we head towards the right path, and fight hard for what we believe in. Allahu Ghayatuna, Wallahuakbar, walillahilhamd.

Obama's team backs Israel

Meanwhile, hopes in the Arab world that the incoming US administration under Barack Obama will bring about substantial change to US policy on the Middle East took a hit on Thursday.

Livni is expected to press the US to help stop the flow of arms to Hamas [EPA]
Several of the president-elect's nominees for his national security team were on Capitol Hill for their confirmation hearings and Susan Rice, nominated to be the US ambassador to the UN, made it clear that she was committed to defending Israel.

While saying "we are also gravely concerned now about the suffering of innocents in Gaza", Rice also said that many had tried "to use the UN wilfully and unfairly to condemn our ally, Israel".

Rice's defence of Israel came on the day the Israeli army shelled the main UN compound in Gaza and the president of the UN General Assembly accused Israel of violating international law with its war on Gaza.

~aljazeera.net/english

p.s:- pity the americans.. from top to bottom, they're actually victims of zionists. they're being used. they're paying the taxes, to ensure that the people who back israel would be in power, and end up paying more taxes, to support the apartheid state of israel.. which in turn controls the congress, and ensures that the president is pro israel, who enforces more tax on the people to support the gangster state israel.. and the circle goes round and round and round..

The Guidelines Israel has issued to most media outlets when they report on Middle East and especially Palestine

2009-01-15T16:32:00.000-08:00

1) In the Middle East it is always the Arabs who attack first and always Israel that is defending themselves. This defense is called a reprisal.

2) The Arabs, Palestinian or Lebanese have no right to kill civilians. That is called “terrorism.”

3) Israel has the right to kill civilians. That is called “legitimate defense.”

4) When Israel kills civilians en masse, the western powers claim that it is more measured. This is called “reaction of the international community.”

5) The Palestinians and the Lebanese have no right to capture soldiers of Israel inside military installations with sentries and combat posts. This is called, “Kidnapping of defenseless people.”

6) Israel has the right to kidnap anytime and anywhere as many Lebanese and Palestinians as they want. Currently there are more than 10 thousand, 300 of whom are children and a thousand are women. No proof of guilt is needed. Israel has the right to keep kidnapped prisoners indefinitely, even if they are authorities democratically elected by the Palestinians. This is called [taking] “terrorist prisoners.”

7) When the word Hezbollah is mentioned, it is compulsory in the same sentence to contain the words “supported and financed by Syria and by Iran.”

8) When you mention “Israel” it is forbidden to make any mention of the words “supported and financed by the U.S.” This may give the impression that the conflict is uneven and that Israel’s existence is not in danger.

9) When referring to Israel, expressions that are prohibited: “Occupied Territories,” “UN resolutions,” “Violations of human rights” or “Geneva Convention.”

10) Both the Palestinians and the Lebanese are always “cowardly,” they are hidden among the civilian population, which does not want them. If they sleep in their homes, with their families, that gives them the name of “cowards.“ Israel has a right to destroy with bombs and missiles the neighborhoods where they are sleeping. This is called a “precision surgical operation.”

11) The Israelis speak better English, French, Spanish or Portuguese than the Arabs. Therefore they and those who support them must be interviewed more and have more opportunities than the Arabs to explain the present Rules of the Editorial Staff (from 1 to 10) to the general public. That is called “journalistic neutrality.”

12) All those who are not in accordance with the Rules of Writing above are “highly dangerous anti-Semitic terrorists.”

there's not so much anyone can do right now. Egypt still won't open the crossing freely, for fear of a war between it and israel.

my doctor told me, yesterday in the morning, he was having fun, talking to the kids about the recent exams, making jokes. he went back home, switched on the tv set. and sat down with his wife crying their heart out. three schools were bombed. schools where the palestinians seek refuge.

today, he woke up once more, for another day with his students. the jokes, the laughter. but in his heart, the plight of the people of gaza was there. as he joked around, he didn't forget to remind us about what was happening there. he reminded us again and again and again.

a student asked, "so what can we do?"

silence.

"Y' know what? Seriously, I don' know what we can do. But right now, coming deep from my heart, I see that what you can do is become good doctors."

He had a message to convey. In our position, whoever we are, what ever that is we are doing, we have to give it our best shot. And most importantly, we need to know why. "why is it that i'm doing this?"

Right now, the people of gaza need us, so badly. they need our remembrance, so that we don't stop praying for them, we don't stop reciting the quran for them, we don't stop our zikr for them. Little do we know that when our hearts are there with them, we are actually fighting, giving them moral support, giving them spiritual support. And that is what they need. In return, they are willing to sacrifice everything that they have to protect us, the rest of the muslim nations with their on-going resistance.

let us read sura al-fath and try to understand its meanings as it describes the war between the muslims and the jews during Rasulullah's time. hopefully by reciting and understanding it, we will get more involved with the palestinian issue, which is definitely OUR issue.

brothers and sisters, prayers, prayers, prayers, and more prayers. yes, we should go on with our daily life, but we shouldn't act as if nothing's going on over there. if we do, it's like we're baking in the kitchen while our brother is being shot by a robber just in the living room.

get involved, demos, writings, readings, status messages, facebook status, whatever. use all the means that you can to get involve and get other people involved too..

May Allah bless us all, and may Palestine be free in the very near future..

Allahumansurna, Allahumansur ikhwanana, Allahumansur da'watana wa barik a'malana wa fika raja-ana....

bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

people, the least we could do is "nashr ad-dakwah". spread the word. this is definitely the least we could do.

seriously, though i'm in egypt, which is one of the 6 borders of Palestine, where Rafah is the only way out for the Palestinians (or in), i don't feel like i'm nearer to it more than in Malaysia. sad but true.

it just so happen that today, my sister came back from school telling me about how a girl was giving an encouraging speech on Palestine and what was happening right now after their jamaah prayers, and suddenly, one of the teachers stood up and said, "What are you talking about?? Sit down right this instance!"

the teacher suddenly went on how the were not supposed to talk about this since they're not doing anything, just talking, nothing else.

and then another teacher said that it's not important for them to discuss, we can't do anything by discussing about it.

i was shocked. to think that my sister was sent to an islamic school in Egypt, and not being able to talk about one of the most crucial issues in the life of a muslim, the Palestinian issue. and to think that the teacher said that it was not important for them to discuss it.

Regardless. maybe it's true that they can't do anything just by talking about it. maybe not in terms of military action, no. but what is expected of these kids is for them to understand the issue. understand and feel the plight of their fellow muslims. understand that Palestine is OUR land. and they're trying to take it away from us, bit by bit. and the resistance that's going on today to protect that small piece of what's left of Palestine is actually for us, for the rest of the muslim world.

and no understanding of that sort could have happened if everyone just kept quiet about the issue. Kids need to be taught, of what's really important in life. what issues should they be focusing on, not just the greatest new look, bags, hair, clothes...

actually the past few days, before today, my sister was discussing the Palestinian issue with her friends and quite openly too. and they gave a positive response. she managed to convince them to boycott the israeli products sold in their canteen. most of them were discussing martyrdom, how they'd love to go fight there, if given the chance. maybe this is just kids' talk. but hey, where do you find kids who are willing to focus on real issues today? muslim kids are like that, they're trained since they were first detected by the sonar (even before that), to live for islam. they live with a mission to accomplish. (this is what the Godless people don't want to happen to our kids!)

like i said, before this they WERE discussing the issue. why the sudden change of behavior by the school staff?

so near yet so far, that's just it. the people here are prevented by saying what they really want to say. they have to swallow each and every word.

it's bad enough that you can't take action. Or that those who can (HM and the gang), don't. worse still, you can't even open your mouth to speak or even squeak.

silence. silence. silence. just perfect silence. while our brothers and sisters are being slaughtered alive. then bombard our brains with fake facts from CNN and the rest of the family.

no people. now is not the time for silence. spread the word. even if this is the only thing we could do. spread the word.

who knows that the word you spoke may have been the reason for someone to go there, and martyr. who knows.

Hasbuna Allah wa ne'mal wakeel.

death tolls are climbing to 400, but still complete silence from the so called "world power".. the time has really come for us to open our eyes..

Indonesia, wow, the spirit.. What about Malaysia? where's Pak Lah's condemnation on this.. or like what Zainudin Mydin said when he came here, this is not our problem.. Birds of a feather flock together.

Some quotes for the day..

"The world looks at unarmed Palestinian people as though they are a nation with an army, as though we are equal to the Israelis ... but this is not true"

Majed, Gaza City

After this, maybe Israel's pre-condition to a truce will be the stopping of stones thrown at them.

(commenting on an article posted by Imran Idris on facebook)

This one suprised me (but of course, you can cheat most of people most of the time but not all the people, all the time..) :

"This cannot be the answer .... The more ammunition we throw at this, the more hatred there will be, and the less the chance for peace"

A brief Response to Zionist disinformation

2008-12-30T05:42:00.000-08:00

By Khalid Amayreh

Zionist Hasbara operatives have been claiming that the current Israeli genocidal onslaught in Gaza is a “war against Hamas” and that it was only necessitated by the firing of Palestinian rockets on Israel.

This is a big lie. Read the following:
“Hamas had repeatedly said it was willing and ready to stop "all" firing of projectiles from Gaza if only Israel would lift the deadly blockade. And Israel repeatedly said "No."

Israel has been saying ad nauseam that it ended its occupation of Gaza. Well, why does Israel then retain its control of Gaza skies, Gaza shores, Gaza sea, Gaza border crossings (even with Egypt). Why does Israel retain its control of Gaza life? Why?

Hence, the issue of firing "rockets" on Israel (they are homemade projectiles that make more noise than damage), should be viewed largely as a red herring.

Effectively, Israel has been giving Palestinians in Gaza either of two choices, to die of starvation as a result of the blockade or be exterminated by the Israeli war machine.

Indeed, these so-called "rockets" are nothing more than a desperate outcry for justice, for lifting the deadly blockade. Gaza has simply been reduced to a modern-day Auschwitz. The only difference is that Jews are now playing the role of the SS.

Hamas did meticulously observe a six-month ceasefire, despite the persistence of the Nazi-like blockade which very much resembled the Ghetto Warsaw siege in 1942-43. However, on 13 November, Israel carried out a foray into Gaza, killing 6 people.

More to the point, Israel killed 49 Palestinians during the ceasefire. Not a single Israeli was killed.

Besides, hundreds of Palestinians have perished because Israel would not allow them to access medical care or medicine. I saw many Palestinians die an agonizing death because the "light upon the nations" wouldn't allow them to reach hospital a few blocks away. In short, we are talking about a Judeo-Nazi state. I am saying this because when Jews think, behave and act like Nazis, they become Nazis. We must call the spade a spade, especially when it happens to be in the hands of our gravediggers.

Therefore, it is a big lie to call this war a war against Hamas. This is a Nazi-like war of extermination against the people of Palestine.

If the war were against Hamas, as the war criminals of Tel Aviv keep claiming, Israel wouldn't have targeted market places, drug stores, college buildings, private homes, mosques, cultural institutions, roads, businesses, etc.

Only a state with a Hitlerian mindset would target an entire society and then claim that it is fighting Hamas! It is simply a big lie.

So, Israel is simply carrying out a real genocide...and an indiscriminate one for that matter.

Today, even a Jewish rabbi of imminence used the term "genocide" to describe what Israel is doing in Gaza.”

bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

yesterday was truly a night to remember.

BarakAllahu lakuma wa barakaAlaikuma wa jamaa bainakuma fil Jannah (Firdaus el-A'la!)

A very very very close friend of mine, Ukht Nik Nabihah Nik Rakami finally wrote the book, to conclude her marriage with Akh Mohd Siroj Al Afkar (betul ke ni?).. Alhamdulillah praise be to Allah, as he is the One who arranged all things, and all His arrangements are perfect.

It wouldn't be an overstatement if i said that the Majlis akad Nikah was Akad Nikah of the year. The surau was overwhelming with people all wanting to be part of the special ceremony, no one wanted to miss this oppurtunity.

So how and why did Nik attract that man people (mind you, this is not yet the wedding reception)..?

I guess the answer is clear to those living with her. For I myself, she is one friend everyone should have. Her sincerity, always wanting only the best for her friends is of no doubt. Words can not describe the ukhuwwah we had, for she was always willing to give and never to take.

Nik, may Allah bless you and your whole family, and may this marriage be a stepping stone to more wonders, then you have already done. Allahumma tsabbitna jamian, wansur ikhwanna fi kulli makan..

women in islam

2008-12-18T08:13:00.000-08:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

this email was sent by my mom.. enjoy!

        He found there a whole tribe of men watering. And he found apart   
       from them two women restraining their flock. He said, “What ails   
       you?” The two said, “We cannot give our flock to drink unless the  
       shepherds return from the water, and our father is a very old man.”
       So he watered their flock for them. Then he returned aside into the
       shade and said, “My Lord! I am needy of whatever good Thou send    
       down for me.” (Surah 28: Verse 22-24)                              
                                                                          
                                                                          
 The Holy Quran narrates numerous events including stories of the nations 
 of past. It gives the accounts of Allah's Prophets and Messengers and    
 also mentions both groups of men, those who disbelieved and denied the   
 Prophets and those who believed and obeyed Allah's Message. The Quran    
 relates all these events in context to the purpose of its revelation,    
 that is, to invite mankind towards Allah, to define the path of worship  
 and obedience, and to warn about the way leading to Divine Wrath.        
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Historic events are mentioned only as examples for mankind to draw       
 conclusions and to learn desired lessons. For that reason, it narrates   
 the conditions of various nations at the time when Prophets were sent to 
 them. It recounts the hardships endured by Prophets during their efforts 
 to steer their nations from darkness to the Light, and also highlights   
 the difference between the fate of the rejecters of Faith and of the     
 believers. The Quran recounts all this to enable the reader to reflect   
 and decide the best course for himself. Although the Quranic narration of
 history is the most perfect and the absolute truth, yet the mere         
 narration of history has never been the subject of Quran. Thus it does   
 not tell the whole story at one place, but refers to its different events
 at appropriate places, so as to highlight the desired lessons.           
                                                                          
                                                                          
 The holy verses mention the tyranny of Pharaoh, the events of Prophet    
 Musa’s flight to Madyan and his meeting with Prophet Shoaib. In addition 
 to the grand sacrifices and steadfastness of Prophet Musa and the piety  
 and greatness of Prophet Sho’aib-as, these verses mention an             
 extraordinary event which is full of tremendous wisdom and lessons for   
 human civilisation. As Prophet Musa-as approached Madyan, he came upon a 
 well on the outskirts of the city where people brought their cattle to   
 drink. A large crowd of herdsmen with their cattle had gathered at the   
 well. Amongst these herdsmen, he found two young girls holding their     
 flock to one side. He was genuinely surprised to find these young girls  
 there and inquired about their odd presence in an all-male business.     
                                                                          
                                                                          
 conditions and norms                                                     
                                                                          
                                                                          
 They replied that they had also brought their flock for water and were   
 waiting for the others to leave the site before they could take their    
 turn. They added that their father was old and could not do this job     
 himself. In this small sentence, Allah has laid down the conditions and  
 norms for women to participate in various spheres of human activity      
 outside the four walls of their homes.                                  
                                                                          
                                                                          
 A woman is permitted to step out of her house if there is none else to   
 work outside. Those women who have a man such as father, brother, husband
 or son to work for them, are not required to go out of their homes. But, 
 if the male member(s) of the family are sick or old or can't work for    
 some reason, then women are permitted to go out and work - under         
 compulsion.                                                              
                                                                          
                                                                          
 They must not starve to death within their homes, nor should they beg or 
 steal, but should adopt a respectable means to earn their living.        
 However, such women should not mix freely with the working men and must  
 always keep their proper distance. This point has been highlighted in the
 referred verses. The two young girls had come out of their home under    
 compulsion, but they waited aside for the male shepherds to leave the    
 site before they took their turn.                                        
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Here, two conditions have been laid down when women may come out of their
 homes to work;                                                           
       first, when there is no male member of the family to undertake this
       obligation,                                                        
       second, when they don't have any source of livelihood, and are     
       required to earn their bread by themselves.                        
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Current Situation                                                        
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Our society is infested with strange customs which have actually been    
 borrowed from the Hindus and injected into this Muslim culture. The      
 notion that women are inferior or worthless is a myth of Hindu cult,     
 which assigns no significance to them - whatsoever. When the husband     
 dies, the wife must be cremated with him; otherwise, she would have to   
 spend her remaining life as an untouchable and detested creature. Even   
 her near ones won't speak to her and she would be sentenced to solitary  
 confinement, living a dog's life, performing menial jobs.                
                                                                          
                                                                          
 We have imported this concept from Hinduism. We too, highlight her       
 weaknesses emphatically and present her as a worthless and loathsome     
 member of the human race - this attitude is certainly wrong.             
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Message of Islam                                                         
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Islam is the message of love for all of humanity; a woman is as good a   
 member of the human family as is a man. Islam has assigned different     
 responsibilities and duties to both, keeping in view their physical,     
 mental and psychological potentials and capacities. Both shall appear    
 before the same Lord, at the same place and account for their deeds. A   
 disbelieving man shall be sentenced to the same hell as a disbelieving   
 woman, and a blessed woman would undoubtedly enjoy the same Divine Bliss 
 in Paradise as a man would.                                              
                                                                          
                                                                          
 As human beings, both follow the same pattern in life. They are born     
 alike, exist alike, taste the same death, would be raised in the same    
 manner and would likewise face the consequences of their deeds. They have
 been created with different physical, mental and psychological           
 capabilities. Their requirements and responsibilities, therefore, are    
 also different. However, both of them are of equal importance as members 
 of the human race.                                                       
                                                                          
                                                                          
 A Misconception                                                          
                                                                          
                                                                          
 On the plea that there has not been a female Prophet, some consider women
 as inferior. However, the advocates of this argument tend to forget that,
 although Allah created a Prophet without father, there is no evidence of 
 a motherless Prophet in the entire human race. Except for the first human
 being and a Prophet, whom Allah created without a father or a mother,    
 there is no other instance of a Prophet being born without a mother.     
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Without exception, every Prophet was born and brought up in the warm,    
 loving lap of his mother. If she was such a detestable creature, then why
 was every Prophet and Messenger born and brought up in her lap? Yes, she 
 is not a Prophet but isn't she the mother of a Prophet? Isn't she his    
 loving daughter? Doesn't she share his life as his wife?                 
                                                                          
                                                                          
 In Paradise, the residence of the holy Prophet will be located at the    
 most blessed and sublime station. There would be no other house or person
 in the vicinity, except his holy wives who will also be living with him  
 in his house. So how is a woman bad or inferior? In fact, we have        
 borrowed this false notion from the Hindus of the Indian subcontinent.   
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Duties and Responsibilites                                               
                                                                          
                                                                          
 The natural division of duties and responsibilities of men and women can 
 be illustrated by the following example.                                 
                                                                          
                                                                          
       Suppose a person wants to grow a beautiful orchard, for which he   
       requires two workers. The first should be physically strong to     
       undertake hard work such as tilling the earth, planting trees,     
       digging water channels, etc. He should be strong enough to protect 
       the garden and work outside at his own.                            
                                                                          
                                                                          
       The second worker, required to look after the plants, may not be as
       strong, but should be more caring and loving than the first one.   
       This worker, by natural instinct, must understand and care for the 
       requirements and needs of each budding plant and blossoming flower.
       This worker's love should so distribute the food and nourishment   
       that plants should neither die of shortage nor of excess.          
                                                                          
                                                                          
       The relatively frail body of the second worker must possess a      
       strong but sensitive and tender heart, because the job is not to   
       protect the garden but nurture the plants fondly and tenderly.     
                                                                          
                                                                          
 In my opinion, this task is more delicate and subtle. Allah has entrusted
 this delicate and sensitive responsibility of raising and educating the  
 human race to a woman, whilst the job of a man is to earn and protect it;
 this is the natural division of their responsibilities. Both are equally 
 responsible, and I think the job of a woman is more important.           
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Education for Woman                                                      
                                                                          
                                                                          
 But a more important question which requires our attention is, ‘Does a   
 woman, who has been entrusted with such a delicate and sensitive task,   
 require any education or training herself?’                              
                                                                          
                                                                          
 I think she requires it more than the outside worker, but we practically 
 give no attention to this important issue. The parents try to give her   
 the best of secular education, but do not impart upon her any religious  
 knowledge. Her brothers feel obliged to protect her and comfort her, but 
 fail to realise their obligation to teach her about religion.            
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Similarly, the husband would leave no stone unturned to keep her happy   
 and comfortable; he would give her abounding love and every good thing in
 the world - except religion. Finally, when she becomes a mother, her     
 children would respect and serve her affectionately, but they too would  
 not speak of religion with her. This attitude actually stems from a      
 notion, deeply embedded in our subconscious, that she is an inferior     
 being … by creation.                                                     
                                                                          
                                                                          
 When the mother of holy Mary vowed to devote her child to the service of 
 God, she was, in fact, expecting to deliver a son. Such a practice was   
 allowed in their religion. However, when against her expectation, she    
 gave birth to a daughter; she was extremely worried about the fulfilment 
 of her oath. The Quran refers to her anxiety by saying that she did not  
 know that her daughter was far superior to many sons and had a high      
 status with Allah. Her life was an explicit illustration of Divine       
 greatness and power, and a source of guidance for mankind. According to  
 the Quran, anyone (be it man or woman) who fulfils their assigned duty is
 better than the one who doesn't - in the sight of Allah.                 
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Holy Prophet (PBUH) and his wives                                        
                                                                          
                                                                          
 About three quarters of human life relates to personal and private       
 affairs and is usually spent within the four walls of one's home. If the 
 chapter relating to specific feminine concerns is also added, it assumes 
 an even greater portion of the religion. As such, the greater part of    
 religion was narrated by the blessed wives of the holy Prophet. He       
 married eleven times and when he passed away, nine of his wives were     
 still alive.                                                             
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Those who feel embarrassed at the criticism about his marriages have     
 really not studied his life. Had he married for the sake of marriage, he 
 would have married during his prime, his youth. But he passed his entire 
 youth with Hadhrat Khadijah who was much elder to him. After her death,  
 when he remarried, he was over fifty years of age. Hadhrat Aishah was the
 only virgin, his remaining wives were either widows, divorced or freed   
 captives. Some had brought their children from previous husbands and they
 were also looked after by him. His holy wives were the only source to    
 convey a major portion of the religion to us. In their absence, the      
 private life of the holy Prophet would have remained obscure and         
 concealed forever.                                                       
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Equality                                                                 
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Islam has neither allowed the use of a woman as a model for advertisement
 (as in the West) nor has it allowed for her to be treated as a worthless 
 captive slave (as in Hinduism or the Far East). On the other hand, Islam 
 considers a woman to be a human being worthy of every honour and respect.
 Both men and women are equally good creatures of Allah, duly responsible 
 and accountable for their actions, although both have different          
 capabilities and duties.                                                 
                                                                          
                                                                          
 The Islamic concept of human equality is that a man should do his duty   
 and a woman should shoulder her responsibility. Both should do their duty
 and enjoy their rights and privileges. If she is compelled to exceed the 
 charter of her duties, this is not equality but cruelty and injustice -  
 such is the Islamic teaching. However, in the sight of Islam, all        
 feminine excellence, honour and greatness depend upon only one virtue -  
 purity.                                                                  
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Women in Today's world                                                   
                                                                          
                                                                          
 During the present time, there is considerable hue and cry about women’s 
 rights and equality; all the while the press and media are playing a     
 vital role in setting this issue ablaze. Accordingly, the advocates of   
 the feminine cause engage in violent processions. But the standard of    
 this equality has already been defined by the Holy Quran and illustrated 
 by the holy Prophet (PBUH) during his life. We should look towards Allah 
 and His holy Prophet (PBUH) and not towards the West or the East for the 
 best solution to this issue.                                             
                                                                          
                                                                          
 There is a visible paradox in our approach towards women.                
       On the one hand, we have allowed them to participate in every      
       worldly activity. They may visit clubs for entertainment, play all 
       sorts of games, watch movies in theatres and go to the market for  
       shopping where they may talk and bargain with men during all of    
       these activities. We tolerate and accept this normal routine of    
       life.                                                              
                                                                          
       On the other hand, if they go out to learn about religion, we are  
       infuriated beyond control.                                         
                                                                          
                                                                          
 We have yet to see any religious verdict prohibiting women from roaming  
 the markets without Hijab, bareheaded, even though each one of these acts
 is prohibited in the Shari‘ah. Nobody is bothered where they go or what  
 they do. But if you guide one of them from a movie theatre to a mosque,  
 there is an immediate reaction against it, everybody starts objecting to 
 their religious activity.                                                
                                                                          
                                                                          
 In our country (Pakistan), a woman can do anything and everything she    
 likes; she can contest elections and rule the country. Many renowned     
 religious scholars have gathered around our present female Prime         
 Minister, and none has decreed that she cannot participate in politics.  
 But, if the same lady starts remembering her God, there would be an      
 instant uproar from the religious quarters that she is doing wrong.      
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Conclusion                                                               
                                                                          
                                                                          
 The Book and the Sunnah have not imprisoned a woman in her home. During  
 the time of the holy Prophet-saw, women participated even in battles,    
 such as in the battles of Badar and Uhad. They supplied water to the     
 wounded, dressed their wounds and took care of them; they even fought    
 battles with the sword. But during the whole activity, they kept         
 themselves separate and did not mix with the men.                        
                                                                          
                                                                          
 The point to ponder is, ‘Did they learn to ride and use the sword from   
 some instructor or were they born with these qualities?’ During that     
 blessed era, they received their education and training separately and   
 performed their duties separately from the men - that is the rule even   
 today. They should remain within their Pardah and achieve every bit of   
 excellence that men can attain to. They have a greater need to learn the 
 basic essentials of the Religion.                                        
                                                                          
                                                                          
       “And the men who remember Allah much and the women who remember    
       Allah much, Allah has promised them forgiveness and immense        
       reward.”                                                           
                                                                          
                                                                          
 Allah has equated them with men in the frequent performance of Zikr; but,
 how would they do it, if they don't learn it? This is the standard laid  
 down by the Divine Book. She is neither a caged bird nor a showbiz model,
 there is a middle way for her. She should know and realise her           
 responsibilities and acquire the ability to fulfil her requirements      
 honourably. She should neither become a dependent beggar nor a           
 free-lancer to rub shoulders with men.                                   
                                                                          
                                                                          
 May Allah grant us the capacity to understand properly and act           
 accordingly! Ameen!

taxi

2008-12-08T07:18:00.000-08:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

i'd like to share a really really really good read. "taxi" by khaled al khamissi. insyaAllah it's available on amazon.com. and i guess those in malaysia could just try to check out kinokuniya or mph or make a specialized order. while us here in egypt, it's simply everywhere. the issues brought up are a bit sensitive, but the writer's quite careful, as not to let himself get sued or thrown into prison for absolutely no reason. still, i guess the message got through.

meanwhile, cows, lambs, goats and camels are every where this raya eve. it is truly very noticeable that the economic turmoil has really hit the people. last year almost all the flocks brought from the village were sold out on Arafa Day, those who tried to get last minute lambs turned out not getting any lamb at all. but this year, the lambs are still flocking the streets, up to this day, waiting in vain for people to buy them for slaughter. budget must be really tight this year. Allah yuwasse'.

later.

p/s:-insyaAllah i'll update the part i missed in Peristiwa Ifk.
p/s/s:-counting the days... two weeks before my beloved sister leaves egypt, a month before i end the endless six years of college life, one and a half months before my results will be displayed.. pray for me, sisters!

Can't help but to share this pic. Here's an anak bawwab, wearing his stained white t-shirt, and hand-me-down pants. Regardless, he currently is so engrossed in his new world of pen and papers. He took the best, most relaxing spot he could find, and started writing, whatever he could. He's just one of the million others who are the victims of the American Puppet. Enough said.

Peristiwa Ifk.

2008-10-26T11:18:00.000-07:00

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim

There have been happenings right here in Egypt ever since I got back from Malaysia, personal and non-personal. A mixture of the good, bad and the ugly. Alhamdulillahirabbil Alameen, many thanks to Allah the Almighty, for without the strength given by him, nobody could withstand the tribulations in this world.

I am currently going through the slanderous event which happened in Rasul's time. An event which could never be forgotten, not by history, not by anybody. An event Allah made happen, though bitter, taught those who are willing to learn a great lesson.

The "ifk" or slander thrown upon Rasulullah's wife, Abu Bakr's daughter was unforgivable. A chaste woman was said to be unchaste, and a sincere sahaba, carrying out his duty was said to have an affair.

The slander was started by a munafiq (trans:hypocrite), Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul. From the very first day Islam established itself in Madina, he anticipated its fall. He worked day and night plotting against Islam, always trying to find "the moment", and true enough, the moment came, just after the the War of Bani Mustolaq. As he saw Safwan coming into Madina, guiding the camel which carried Aisha, he began to raise questions in people's heads. The questions were pondered upon, by most people. Some willingly claimed the scene as an affair, most of them were the hypocrites, and sadly to say there were also a few sahabas who weren't spared from falling into this great trap.

This was a bitter lesson which had had to be learned. For a long period of time nothing was revealed from the Seven Heavens to clear the case. Was Aisha innocent? Was she guilty? Nobody knows. Not even ar-Rasul himself. But as far as most of the people in Madina were concerned, she was simply guilty until proven innocent, a school of thought far far far away from the islamic teaching.

Among those who remained steadfast was Zainab al-Jahsy. Beautiful, aristocratic Zainab was known to be one of Rasulullah's wives envied most by Aisha. But this small everyday quarrel was not a stop to steadfastness. When asked about Aisha during the event, she firmly replied, "I protect my eyes and my ears, the only thing I know of her is goodness."

After a whole month of uncertainty, Allah reveled in Sura An-Nur Aisha's innocence. But that was not the only thing reveled. Allah directed solemn words to all who had their share in the slander, either by just listening to it, or even worse, by spreading the word.

This IS truly a serious matter. The slander which broke out was like a deep crack in a well-built tower, it had threatened the muslim community. People were divided, one bad-mouthing the other. The thick wall of trust had gotten thinner by the day. They needed a hard slap on their backs to awaken them up.

This particular event, we do encounter, in our everyday lives. And it does adversely effect the outcome of dakwah, tarbiyyah and ukhuwwah. The best way to deal with it is actually the simplest. Turn a deaf ear upon any slander. Shut the wide open eyes.

Sura An-Nur :

11. Verily! Those who brought forth the slander are a group among you. Consider it not a bad thing for you. Nay, it is good for you. Unto every man among them will be paid that which he had earned of the sin...

12. Why then, did not the believers, men and women, when you heard it think good of their own people and say, "This is an obvious lie!"

Islam as the last religion to be revealed, and as the only religion Allah will accept on Judgment Day, has already guided us through each and every single situation we may encounter in life which could lead us astray from the path of Allah.

Sura Al-Hujurat clearly highlighted the answer to this problem.. "Fatabayyanu.." and in other readings "Fatatsabbatu..", 2 things of utmost important when facing a slander, 1. to verify, 2. to stay put, just like Zainab Al-Jahsy.

As a lay down my fingers beside the laptop, I can't help but pray that Allah enlightens us all, show us all to the right path, ensure that we follow no one other than ar-Rasul in every single aspect of life, in order to achieve our ultimate goal. There is simply no other way.

The days which have passed made me reflect, mostly upon my own carelessness and recklessness. May Allah forgive us all.

2008-08-09T07:42:00.001-07:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Asking for Allah's help? Wastainu bissobri wassolah. 2 things, patience and prayers. If these 2 can't help you,nothing can.. Reached the place I was heading for,bissalamah, alhmdulillah, and took a cab at a good price. Allah always have His ways to console the broken heart!

Making mistakes

2008-07-10T03:45:00.000-07:00

It's great being a person who doesn't make mistakes. Big ones, I mean. Being a person who is careful all the time, so careful that they make only minor mistakes.

And must be great too if you're good at managing things properly. And if you can't you have to try. But when your trial is also a failure, very discouraging.

Alhamdulillah ala kulli halin wastaghfirullah ala kulli zanbin.

p.s:-prayers ya Akhawat! most important thing in life.

Ar-Rasul's Companions

2008-06-21T09:43:00.000-07:00

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

Something just got to me.

The Sahabas, they were the sweetest, kindest, most sensitive people in the world, weren't they?

They see what Rasulullah did and immediately follow, they were not short of paying back Rasulullah's kindest and sacrifices.

Never did they do less than what's ask of them, and never did they ask for more than what is given.

S-e-n-s-i-t-i-v-i-t-y. Really hard to acquire. For those who have it "built-in", praise Allah and preserve it in you. This is exactly what the sahabas had. They were sensitive to each and everything Rasulullah did to them, and couldn't bear to repay it with less.

But I guess most of us have lost it today. Rasulullah told us to be sensitive to our neighbours, we are sinful if we ate lunch and our neighbours are not having any. Don't talk about neighbours, we couldn't even care less if our housemates ate or not. And especially during exam season. Luck has it that today's my jadual masak! If not, tak yah harap la nak masak. I am not hungry so everyone else boleh makan sendiri. Heh. The attitude.

That's one aspect in life, there are many others. Some people might say, it's not that they're not sensitive, but the fact is people around them are not doing anything either to help. So there's nothing to repay.

Aaaahh.. self-actualization (yes nik..!) The sahabas have reached the highest point in Maslow's pyramid by following a 100% of what was revealed upon Rasulullah. The word "I" didn't even exist in their dictionaries. It was either "you", "them", "we" but never "I".

Remember the story during one of the wars where there was this one soldier who was badly wounded and thirsty and so he asked for water. As he was about to sip it, he heard the cry of his brother next to him who was also thirsty. He immediately gave the water to the soldier next to him, who heard another soldier next to him crying out of thirst too.. and so he did the same thing and so did the next, and the next, and the next.. until the bottle of water came back to the first soldier who had already martyr. And it seemed that the rest of the thirsty badly wounded soldiers had also martyred afterwards. This amazing story told me that a person, reaching self actualization, would sacrifice everything for the sake of others even if he is on his death bed.

Now this is what we call the human value. Not the crap implanted in our minds of how we should always insist on getting our rights accomplished, even if it causes a catastrophe unto others.

(I seriously dont know how to end this.. I'll let it be.. Hope that I truly become like the sahabas.)

"And I think that it is smart for us to - to work through a system in which everybody has access to the extraordinary religious sites in Old Jerusalem, but that Israel has a legitimate claim on that city."
~the so-called Barack Obama

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah.

I guess nothing much has, and will change.

Obama, Umbama, Clinton Schminton, McCain, whoever the US president may be, the facts remain the same.

1. The Americans will continue on paying high taxes for the sake of protecting the illegitimate state of Israel

2. The Camp David Accords will provide Egypt with its annual USD1.3bil military subsidies (which of course is of no use as Egypt will NEVER go for war, due to the Camp David Accords. irony)

3. Iraq is still going to be under occupation, and more American troops would be sent

4. And you and me, we'll remain just quite the same, watching eyes wide shut as oil prices hike, get up in the morning go to work, back again. nothing much to do till in the end we go six feet under

But actually there's still hope, seriously. But definitely not in the US President. The hope's in us, every single one of us, if we want things to change, they will.

All we have to do is to return to what our Creator has told us to do, return to His guidance and you'll find the way. Yup, this is the only practical way. No other. You can't say it won't work when you have not tried it yet.

The world has entered timelessly into disaster, disaster and more disaster due to uncouthly leadership, abiding the laws written by human beings, creatures who make tonnes of mistakes every single hour in their lives.

I suggest, we return to the real solution.

CDC criteria for diagnosis of PID

2008-05-29T03:02:00.000-07:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim..

this year has been a really trying year for me. but alhamdulillah all is well, can't wait to end the year but at the same time not ready to go through it. really love ObGyn but so far i have not been able to prove my love for it, not just yet. i really need to get back on track. your prayers are all i ask for mates!

my end of round exam was taken in two days. alhamdulillah yesterday's exam was quite a breeze. Allah yusahhil kulla shaik. my dad was here, and the time we spent together was indescribable. but still my studies were lagging a little (erm, an understatement..). The day after dad left, i tried to catch up.. let's just say it wasn't as easy as ABC. but alhamdulillah again, the exam turned out ok.

And today's.. i really felt that i entered the room with subzero in my head (and this is no overstatement). my belove arab friend (as usual) helped me out by orally revising some important questions. and alhamdulillah those were the exact questions which entered the exam.

i'm not that good a person, but i guess there hasn't been one moment in my life that i felt like Allah was away from me. In each and every bad time, Allah's there to make it easier for me to go through. And though most of the time i don't think i deserve the "special" treatment, Allah still gives it to me. Alhamdulillah alhamdulillah alhamdulillah. i guess no other words could describe how i feel.

ok so this is one of the questions asked this morning, and the answers too.

Q:
CDC Criteria for diagnosis of PID (Pelvic Inflammatory Disease)

A:
1. Minimal : Uterine/Adnexal tenderness, Cervical motion tenderness
2. Additional : Raised ESR, Vaginal mucopurulent discharge, Elevated CRP, Temperature >38.3, Gonorrhea or Chlamydia test positive, WBCs on saline wet prep.

Imam Malik.. singer wannabe?

2008-05-21T13:17:00.000-07:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

yup, that was exactly what he told his mom. Imam Malik was a handsome boy, blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin. Maybe the typical boy-band look.

so what did the fair lady mom do? did she scold him and say, "haram alaik ya walad!!"? or did she say, "Matkharragish taaani!!!"? or did she say, "eih da, eih da, eih da??"? Nope, non of those words were uttered (not literally, i know they didn't know ammiya back then!). Being a great woman, she indeed had the tarbiyya skills sought after by many today. Action proved to be louder than words.

Aaliyah bint el-Syuraik took out a complete set of clothes, with the headgear and everything and put them on Imam Malik. then she put him in front of the mirror, with a notebook in his hand, made him look at himself so nobly, and said, "If you were to be an ugly singer, no one, not a single person would care to be around you. But look, look at you in this outfit, spreading the sunnah of Rasulullah..."

this was certainly more than enough for a bright boy like Imam Malik. from then on he started to learn more about his religion and become one of the greatest scholars of all times.

to think that we might have lost a great scholar, if not because of the intelligent step taken by this woman.

Imam Malik's father, Anas bin Malik, could have married just about anyone, but he chose Aaliyah. He died when Imam Malik was still a small kid, and yet he is getting every single thawwab Imam Malik gets. and that is for choosing what Allah wants, not just what he simply wanted.

Allah knows best!

p.s:-Mostafa Hosny's simply the best!! alhamdulillah, really, i thank Allah for giving me the chance to be there tonight. May the chance come again..

Practice what you preach..

2008-05-16T21:42:00.000-07:00

Bismislahhirrahmanirrahim.

Rasulullah is a preacher, daieyah ilallah. Why is he so successful? How come it led to the creation of an ideal state after only 23 years? Many many many secrets of success, and they are no secret. But i guess one thing which hits me most is that Rasulullah indulges in what he preaches first
before anyone else, he is more afraid of Jahannam than anyone else, and he is more in search for Jannah than anyone else.. Though Allah has already stated that whatever he did in the past or in the future is already being forgiven.

Reflect. I hope we are not just saying things which we don't mean. Or not just conveying for the sake of conveying. Walk don't talk. Wallahu alam.

p.s:- need to be more keen in updating this blog.. have tons to share..
Allah maako for the exams!!

rahmat Allah

2008-03-22T10:59:00.000-07:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Addunia kulluhu taab. Yes, life in this world is hectic. Too hectic. You have to strive for every single thing you want in this world, either good or bad. Allah says is the Holy Quran "innaka kadihun ila rabbika kadhan famulaqih.." Insyiqaq : 6.

For the sake of this world, most of mankind went through degrees of hardship. The Pharoahs strived to keep themselves in power. Rome was not built in one day. Donald Trump, as rich as he is, don't tell me he didn't go through sleepless nights to ensure his empire keeps growing.

And on the other hand, all Allah's messengers had to strive even harder to convince people that the world is not what they really want. It's jannah, Allah's paradise that we really are after. Rasulullah SAW, being the greatest man on earth was being mocked by his own people, and still is mocked at up till today by people who don't understand what life is really about. People who mocked him? They had to go through all that trouble, spent their time and energy and money, just for the sake of something which leads them to a doomed end.

Rasulullah went through sleepless nights, had to travel by foot under the hot scorching sun, went for wars, got beaten, to convince people to take up the right path. If Allah wanted, things could be easier, right? But no, this is the way of the world, "wa lan tajida li sunnatillah hi tabdila.." Nothing comes free of charge, you have to EARN it. That's the keyword, EARN.

Spreading Allah's word is not easy, but still between you and me, we have to do it, by hook or by crook (or by hanger). And if you think it's hard, many people are going through even harder times for this dunia, for this false worldly life, just to fulfill their temptations.. "fainnahum yaklamuna kama taklamun, wa tarjuna minnAllah ma la yarjun.." But unlike them, we are expecting something from Allah, something great and dear, worth all the hardship in the world! We are expecting Mardatillah and His Jannah.

And this is exactly why Allah created the world filled with hardship after hardship after hardship. To make us long for Jannah more and more, to make us dream of Jannah and work towards it. To make us visualize Jannah in our heads and look forward to it.

The world with it's winding roads still managed to grasp weak, feeble hearts, let alone if it's not. If the world is more relaxing for me and you, Jannah wouldn't sound dear to us, we wouldn't be striving for it. We would want to stay in this world forever.

Alhamdulillah tsumma Alhamdulillah tsumma Alhamdulillah ya Rabb for all the blessings. Allahumma tsabittna ala tareeq. ameen~

Penghapusan DEB?

2008-03-16T01:59:00.000-07:00

Ok people, listen up.. for those of you who are worried about what's going to happen to Penang as DAP chose to abolish DEB (Dasar Ekonomi Baru), I guess we'd better read more obout DEB and realize how it had NOT within the last 50 years of Malaysia's Independence helped the Malays in and outside of Penang.

This is an extract taken from harakahdaily.net

Q : So what is DEB actually?

A : "Sebenarnya DEB itu bukan undang-undang; ia hanyalah dasar atau polisi Umno yang kemudiannya diserapkan ke dalam peraturan dan pekeliling kerajaan, termasuk dalam soal pembahagian tender kontrak dan sebagainya," jelas Profesor Dr. Abdul Aziz Bari ketika diminta mengulas.

Beliau menambah, setahu beliau tidak ada dokumen rasmi yang menjelaskan asal usul, perincian dan pencapaian dasar ini yang dikatakan dimulakan pada 1971.

Katanya lagi, sama dengan 'Islam Hadhari', dasar-dasar Umno ini tidak jelas dan kadang-kadang tenggelam dan timbul.

"Itulah yang berlaku kepada Wawasan 2020 yang dipelopori oleh pentadbiran Mahathir. Di dalam pentadbiran Abdullah Ahmad Badawi Wawasan 2020 tidak diberi perhatian. Sebaliknya ia mencanangkan semula Rukunegara yang dicipta oleh pentadbiran Abdul Razak Hussein," jelas Dr. Abdul Aziz lagi.

Jadi DEB, Rukunegara, Wawasan 2020 dan Islam Hadhari ini hanyalah gimik setiap Perdana Menteri yang dicipta untuk dijadikan slogan masing-masing.

Dasar dan slogan ini terkubur dengan kematian atau perletakan jawatan Perdana Menteri berkenaan. Dan seolah-olah mereka sengaja meletakkan tarikh penamat gimik-gimik itu jauh di hadapan; semacam hendak mempastikan bahawa mereka sudah tiada apabila dasar itu tamat.

Oleh kerana DEB sekadar dasar dan gimik Umno maka tidak salah jika Kerajaan DAP di Pulau Pinang tidak melaksanakannya.

DEB hanyalah satu program di bawah Perkara 153 yang melindungi kedudukan istimewa Melayu.

Umno dan media menggambarkan seolah-olah DAP telah melanggar Perlembagan atau undang-undang.

Walau apa pun, Dr. Abdul Aziz menyambung, kita tidak pasti sama ada ia masih berjalan atau tidak kerana pada awalnya DEB, yang dimulakan pada 1970, hendak ditamatkan pada 1990. Tetapi oleh kerana ia gagal maka ia pun dilanjutkan. Umno jelas takut dipertanggung jawabkan atas kegagalan DEB itu.

Malangnya masyarakat Melayu melihat DEB seperti keramat yang tidak boleh dikritik apa lagi dikesampingkan.

Tragedi yang berlaku di sini ialah dasar-dasar itu tidak pernah dibincang dan dinilai secara telus, sebaliknya ia diwar-warkan ke sana ke mari untuk tujuan politik dan mengugut orang Melayu.

"Yang mengikat dan menjadi peraturan kita ialah Perlembagaan, dan ia mengikat semua orang, tak kira Melayu atau tidak," kata Dr. Abdul Aziz lagi.

Bagaimanapun pakar Perlembagaan dari UIAM itu menjelaskan, ia bukanlah sampai ke tahap menggantikan Al-Qur'an.

Beliau berkata Perlembagaan hanyalah dokumen perundangan yang kita gunakan untuk mentadbir selain menjamin hak-hak kita sebagai warganegara.

"Dan tak perlulah kita memasukkan elemen-elemen seperti Rukunegara, Wawasan 2020 dan seumpamanya kerana ia akan mencampur aduk dan mengelirukan kita semua," ujarnya lagi.

So are you still worried?

ps:-Always read two sides of the story.

a night of true madness

2008-03-02T13:56:00.000-08:00

Yes people – oops! before I forget, Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh. May Allah’s blessings be upon all of you.

Yes people, tonight I’m mad. No, I’m not just mad, I’m super mad, I’m so angry I could explode. And my angriness has its rationalizations.

First of all I’m sooooo angry with what is happening in Gaza. I’m angry with myself for being so weak and not able to help them, not through my deeds, nor through my efforts. I didn’t try hard enough to save money to donate them to the people in Gaza, nor did I put my whole strength in boycotting the well-known ZIONIST supporters (alhamdulillah I never did go to starbucks nor wear Gap jeans nor drink coke and pepsi anymore. But I still savour that piece of Cadbury when given, I still go to shopping malls gawking at the stupid brands produced by capitalists aiming for profit profit profit regardless the condition of the people today, I still enjoy an 8.5le icecream when I want to… so this makes me.. as worthiful as chopped liver)

Next.. I’m mad at how the people in this world thinks. The world is divided into three groups of people according to the Quran. First, you have the true muslims, they who believe in Allah sincerely. Next, the non-believers, those who don’t believe in Allah, and the third group would be, those who say they believe in Allah but they are actually frauds. And seriously, I have messages to convey to each one of you.

True muslims. (which includes me, insyaAllah, and I hope Allah puts me in this group and no other till the very last breath I breathe.). Here goes, “Ok, so you think you’re true muslims, right? Why are you just sitting back relaxing not helping your brothers and sisters in distress? Yes you pray, yes you fast and read the Quran. But no, that’s not enough. You have to do more, you have to ensure power is in the right hands, speak up. Don’t just stand there quietly without doing anything and not feeling guilty. By not doing anything you’re hurting us, your brothers and sisters who are in serious need of your help. You have the power to change things. VOTE!!! And vote for the right government. Vote for Islam. Tell people about the corruption people in power now are totally drowned in. SUPPORT!!! And support the right wing. Hosny Mubarak, Egyptians' "beloved" Mr Pres!!! A group of people are already up against him and his corrupted regime. Join them, fight against the injustice and crimes he committed, is committing and will continue on to commit in the future. 90% increase in the prices of agricultural products?? Insanity. Yup, don’t get me wrong when I say himar kat tepi jalan yang dok kena pukul dek orang bekiak tu pon jauh jauh jauh martabat dia lebih tinggi daripada Encik Hosny kite. Having him up there is just like having a donkey. I mean a donkey doesn’t go for war, doesn’t stand up for anyones rights, doesn’t try to make things better for the people. Whatever it is that a donkey has, he has it, naturally. And the same goes to you too Mr-Corrupted-Leaders-Of-The-Islamic-Nations. Please, you are going to be asked later and it’s not just your solat and fasting. Move people, MOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Non-Believers. I mainly want to ask you people a question. Why is it that you remain on the non-believing path? Why? Why? Why? Everyone has the freedom to choose, And Allah has created you, given you the mind for you think, and to choose, why don’t you choose the right path? What more evidence do you need to prove to yourself that Islam is the right path? Islam’s not the best path, It’s the ONLY path. Why do you think that every single corrupted power is against Islam? Why do you think that those who are against Islamic law are mainly those who want to fulfill only their utmost tempatations? Why do you think that the super powers of the world today (Those who support capitalism, who when given the power rob zillions out of the world’s population, yup, BUSH in particular, those who provide people with weapons just so that they can afford the most expensive suite when going on a holiday?????) are so against Islam. The answer is clear. Because Islam is the right path. If they give in to islam, there’d be no way they could be rich. There’d be no way they could have power. Please my non-believing friends, trust me on this one, I love you guys, please, open your hearts to Islam.
Frauds. These people, they don’t even get the lion’s share in anything they do. All the get is a small measly profit, which they are very contented with in this falsely world. But in the hereafter, sorry to say, they’d be thrown in the bottomless pit of hellfire where it’s darker than the darkest dark night, hotter than the hottest day sun, colder than the coldest winter day. But it’s only fair. They’re the ones who made sure the true fighters of justice were put behind bars, stripped off their clothes, have nothing to eat, nor drink, not even a place to micturate let alone defecate. These inhuman people who do work for the devil are even more cruel than the devil himself. Reflect frauds, reflect before it’s too late.

Ok, I guess I’m done with. I’m still mad. Mainly at myself, Ya Rabb make me a better person this instant, PLEASE!!!

Wallahualam.

Arroyos's mercy upon Erap.. no more hope for the state?

2007-11-04T22:44:00.000-08:00

I was so surprised to read the news last week, I mean, how come a single woman could easily forgive a man who had done so much topsy-turvies upon her country? A man who had destroyed lives of millions just because he loves to gamble. It was totally unfair. Well so far with America and Israel in power nothing is fair in this world anyway, but the promise of Allah will be kept and Estrada will not be able to escape the worst punishment ever.. the punishment of Allah.

Here are some extracts taken from BBC showing how the Filipinos too aren't the least bit happy with Estrada's pardon.

"We all know that the Estrada pardon smacks of a clever political move on behalf of the Arroyo camp, to turn the attention away from corruption scandals and the persistent allegations of human rights violations and political killings."

"If Estrada's removal was symbolic of our desire for a change for the better, then his pardon is symbolic of the fact that so very little has changed."
-DOMINIQUE CIMAFRANCA, 37, IT WORKER, DAVAO, MINDANAO

"When President Arroyo's own pardon powers were being awaited by poor female prisoners over the age of 70 last year, she took so long that some of these women died before she could pardon them. And some of these women were in prison for crimes as small as smoking pot.

But it took her only six weeks to pardon a rich, powerful and immensely popular man, who has been convicted for plundering the nation."
-FATIMA LASAY, 37, ARTIST AND WRITER, MANILA

"In this country everything is so distorted and confused because every leader in our history has twisted the law for their own convenience.

I was one of those pinning my hopes on Gloria Arroyo, but after this episode, I think there is no hope for this nation."
-JOSE LUIS LEGARDA, 50, LANGUAGE CONSULTANT, MANILA

The Nail Keeper

2007-08-28T14:42:00.000-07:00

Ok, so there was this nail keeper. He worked with an engineering company, a big one, where they have kilos and kilos and kilos of nails, which needed supervision. And he was happy to be trusted with the job. Wasn't that hard, keeping some nails and jotting down every piece which came in and out. Accidentally that day, he found that he brought back home with him a few nails, without realizing it. And no guard stopped him at the gate for bringing back home the nails, no harm was done. Anyway, what were a few nails compared to the hundreds and thousands kept in the store room? Soon the so-called accident, turned intentional. Every single day he'd bring back a few nails home, positively sure that they cause no harm, not to him, and not to the company. Every day he took not less than 5 nails with him.. what was there to a few nails? Finally, a year had pass. And the nails he brought back, some were used, others were given to his neighbours, while some just got lost. He had also overcome this bad habit of taking nails home for almost a month now. Maybe now and then when he needed them so much he'd take a nail or two. He was called to the director's office. Suprise suprise. He didn't know why, but it finally turned out that they had weigh the total kg of nails left. And they were short of 5 kilos. So where did this 5 kilos go? In the end, he had to pay for them, after all, he was in charge. 5 kilos of nails.
Our life is somewhat like the nail keeper's. Sometimes we take advantage of people without realizing it. And since Allah is Most Just, every advantage you took upon your friend, your partner, your neighbour, your children, you nieces, nephews, will all be recorded and in the end they'll be able to get back at you. It's way way better to repent now while we have the time, try patch things up and grant others their rights, before they ask for them on the very day you wish you had given everyone their rights for you to be able to go free.

.:should've waken up earlier:.

2007-08-23T01:16:00.000-07:00

Never have I encountered another worse day in my life as this one, and it was all my own fault. The day started off badly as I woke up a wee bit too late, missing a great clinical class given by Dr Ahmad Hamdy, which was supposed to be repeated. When? I don’t know, I had to call the centre. Ok. Fine. Then I was torn between going to lovely lovely communications course which would have cost me LE300, but I could have gone for free, over a lecture given by the head of department of Psychiatry for the upcoming exams, true enough I made a bad choice, I chose to go for the lecture, and kulluh kalam fadhi. Ok. Fine. Then I was torn (again!) between going for Dr. Usamah or Mostafa Hosny. If I wanted to go for Sheikh Mostafa, I could, by going for Dr Usamah in the afternoon, just after the meeting with the HOD. Or, I could go back home, study a little, and head for Usamah’s class, in the evening, at supposedly 7.30pm missing el-Sheikh’s class. Once again, I decided to take the wrong decision, went back home, studied two pennies’ worth and had a little nap, finally waking up for el-asr, then got ready to take off for Usamah’s class. But oh, it was 5.00pm and suddenly I remembered wanting to call the centre about Ahmad Hamdy’s lesson, is it today or is it tomorrow? And at what time? With my luck, just as I called, the class had just ended and I missed it. Ooh lala! I got myself ready for Usamah’s class, confident that I’m going to be early and get a good seat, took off and got there. As I paid the centre, I heard Dr Usamah’s voice lecturing away in the hall. Was I late? No. Not again. I entered, with 300 people looking at my face, most probably wondering, why in the world is this goof here at this hour? But since I didn’t know exactly when the class started I didn’t mind, I took my seat and opened the page, seems that I had miss somewhat 4 pages of the lecture. Great. Absolutely. Then, in about 10 minutes, ok 15, el-maghrib entered. And Dr Usamah said he’s going to take 5 more minutes. Yes, he usually does that, he talks for another 5,10 minutes and down we go for our prayers, then we will continue. 5 minutes were up and he stopped talking. For good. That was the end. Yup I came all the way. For a 15-minute lecture. Which I thought would have started after maghrib. But started at 6.30pm and ended at maghrib. So today I missed a whole lot of things, which were all so important. QadarAllah ma sha a fa al. And anyway it was my very own fault. Should’ve waken up earlier.

He is not with us

2007-03-11T14:08:00.000-07:00

Is it because he is not with us

That although we are named muslims

We try as hard as we can to follow the non

Is it because he is not with us

That what he says is of no value

As the words don’t come from his mouth

Not the mouth that we see

Is it because he is not with us

That the hadeeth conveyed

Seems to be just some words of wisdom

We could choose to use or to leave as we like

Is it because he is not with us

That so easily words from our mouth

Are poured

Saying “that was then and this is now”

Imagine if he was here, right now

And we are doing what we are doing

What’s he going to say?

What is he going to say

When he sees us lifting the fork with our left hands

Putting food into our mouths

Without saying basmallah

What is he going to say

When he hears the harsh words coming from our mouths

When he sees how we buy and sell

When he observes the way we treat our guests

What is he going to say

When he finds out how Muslim women are treated (by muslim men)

How Muslim children are taught (by muslim parents)

How the elderly are neglected

How Muslim men are forced to transgress

What is he going to say

When after all the years he spent teaching the right way

The way to keep the world in harmony and peace

We choose to astray

What is he going to say

When a brother leaves his house

Without saying salam

And instead just slams the door in the face of his other brothers

What is he going to say

When brothers don’t pray together

Don’t go to the mosques together

But rather to the video game centre

What is he going to say

When sisters don’t wear the higab

Because it’s not the trend today

What is he going to say

When brothers and sisters chat freely away

Using all the means that they can

SMS, YM, MSN

And say pooh! It’s just an innocent one

Do we really care

What Rasulullah has to say

‘Cause if we do

We’d have cared to all the words he had already said

We’d have tried

As hard as we can

To imagine that both his soul and body are here

As we listen to the guidance

As we read the hadeeth

As we go through history

To follow every single step

And turn out like Abu Bakr

And Omar

And Ali

And Othman

Just tell me what would have been his reaction

When he finds you and me (we are doctors, supposedly)

In front of the tv

While the ummah

Laying sick on her death bed

Waiting for the doctor, who…

Is in front of the tv

Finding out that his ummah

The ummah he cried for just before his last breathe

Are paying for the guns killing their fellow muslims

Finding out that his ummah

After the toil and soil he went through

To make sure Islam reaches them

Sits around watching movies

And liking them

Finding out that his ummah

After the fall of the khilafah

Made no effort to bring islam back

Is it because he is not with us,

We decided that we could recreate Islam

Directly or indirectly we do it

By leaving a few of what he had said and done

Saying it’s not relevant, not just now

We take the prayers, the fasting, the haj

And sometimes, when we feel like it,

We take the zakah

When it comes to muamalah

The Jews we go to

The same goes with entertainment

The tics that we do

Even the way we talk

The dressing and style

The food that we eat

The places we hang out

The values that we look upon

The people we idolize

I guess it is because he is not with us

He is not with us,

So we do as we like

But Allah told us in His Book

And Muhammad is not just but a messenger

And before him messengers had been sent

Is it that when he dies, you turn back from the path

And who ever turns his back will never hurt Allah even a bit

So does it differs

That he is

Or is not here?

if only you knew.

2006-09-12T18:40:00.000-07:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

our prophet Muhammed once said:

"O followers of Muhammad! By Allah, if you knew what I know, you would weep much and laugh little." [Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, #627]

a mother who has been living for 40yrs, would know more than her child who has just entered the teen-age era. therefore, she looks like she's always bossing her child around telling her what should and should not be done. but the fact is that she had gone through that part of life, and she really knows what's best for her child.

the reality, we seldom or never want to take heed until things had already happened. then we go on blaming fate for the bad luck, the atrocities, the losses that we have to put up with.

face it, it's easier to live in a world where there're guidelines in every thing you do.. you won't suffer much and in the end you'll wind up in Heaven.

i may not know as much as Rasulullah, but still, when i walk in the middle of the streets of kl and cairo, looking at all those muslim faces without the clothes they should be wearing, i always cry out to myself.. if only they knew. if only they knew how easy it is to just place the hijab on your head and get an eternal reward for it. if only they realize how easy life would be without having to care about whether you're a size 2 or a size 10, since everyone's dressing so modestly. if only they wake up to the fact that life's not about turning men on and catching men's eyes only. if only they knew.

but then again, reflecting upon myself, i see that it truely is hard for people to realize that life on this earth is so temporary. i myself have not been able to sacrifice for the true meaning of life. and that's because i have never been there. i have never been in real life before. this falsely world has successfully blinded my eyes from seeing the eternal reality.

Rasulullah has clearly paved for us the right path. all we have to do is to follow it. he had been there. he had seen the things that we only heard of, he had felt the things that we only thought of. he is like the old mother while we on the other hand, rebellious teenage daughters, always wanting to choose a different path. the day you followed your mother's advice, was the very day you made the right decision, wasn't it?

if only you and i knew.

gatherings

2006-09-09T23:19:00.000-07:00

these are among the 70 people who turned up for our first ever formal gathering. smapl 9701, great times. but actually the schooling years were funny when you think of them. especially the fights.

all's well, ends well. everybody's headed in their own directions, hopefully we are all able to walk on the straight path. allahumma ameen.

from left to right : waramlah.shafaf.wani.elly.asiah

these are some of my primary school friends. alhamdulillah, it was great getting back together.

from left to right : hannah.nazifah (green pants).raizil.suraya.marini.shiow wei.kah foo. imran.dennis.

not in picture : huda and aaron... and i!

memories

2006-09-09T19:35:00.000-07:00

bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

yesterday there was a gathering at my house, and alhamdulillah it went well. got back together with my old primary school friends. i think this is the third time in 10 years, we got back together on a formal basis. i mean, a sort of well organised gathering, with food and all. the first was in holiday villa, and the second was in pizza hut. in between, some of us met up at kedai mamak or other food places and we even had bola baling fights during our sekolah menengah era.

the gathering brought up memories and broke the ice which build up over the 10-year period. there were 14 of us, i myself, marini, nazifah, hana, raizil, suraya, shiow wei, evelyn, hui ling, huda, dennis, imran, kah foo and aaron. aaron had to leave early though since he had plans with his dad. ben shyen wasn't able to make it because now he is so committed with his church. he had something on yesterday. i'm glad to learn that he has become more religious, a 360 degrees' turn i'd say in comparison with the person he was 5-10 years ago.

most of us are still studying, most of my chinese friends took up accounting or economics or something related to commerce. wai kit, the genius of 6MJ is still the genius of his current university, being the top student there. some have already started working, namely dennis, shiow wei and kah foo. nazifah and huda both, insyAllah will graduate as qualified lawyers. imran's getting married just around the corner.

there have been lots of changes but yet marini is still the marini i knew 10 yrs ago, and so is nazifah and dennis and the rest of the gang. the only one who was totally different and had forgotten everything about sekolah rendah was kah foo.. heheh.. but he still remembers his deep passion towards batu seremban, a game budak sekolah zaman sekarang don't seem to play already.

to me the best thing about this gathering was that i was able to keep in touch with my non malay friends, whom i deeply appreciate, just as much as i appreciate and love my malay friends. and actually, to tell you the truth, although i live in a multicultural nation, because of the route of education i chose, i don't have that many non-malay pals, so i treasure those i knew during sekolah rendah so much. i'd love to collaborate with them in the near future and build a strong relationship for Malaysia to become a better place to live in. boy, i'm patriotic!

lots of love, battah.

2006-09-05T16:54:00.001-07:00

this is mahmoud abbas. and beside him? a Murderer.

nobody, and i mean nobody-- makes peace agreements with a murderer.

these are the Soldiers. trained by Nasrullah.

filling their hearts, is deep faith.

Muslims ARE supposed to fight back.

Muslims ARE being oppressed by israel and the bush regime.

no, not all jews are bad. that's true.

we are fighting against the zionists, the ones who are turning this world into a satan haven.

the ones who are making people unaware of the purpose of creation.

the ones who have tried so hard all over the years, turning the rest of the world

into alcohol slaves, sex slaves, food and party slaves.

life is not just about having fun. and you know that.

but since everybody else is doing it, why not i?

so you say.

but then again, it's hard convincing people who are not convinced

that they're gonna live after they have died.

Yes, there's life called the afterlife. the Hereafter.

There, you are going to live for eternity.

And whether your eternal life is good, bad or ugly, is not for you to choose at that moment.

you choose it NOW. while you're still stepping on earth's ground.

not when you're already 6 feet under.

But you don't believe me, do you?

There are going to be Heaven and Hell.

Those who are good and have faith in Allah will go to heaven.

And those who are bad and do not have faith will go to hell.

I'm writing this for those who believe.

If you believe that there's an afterlife, and there are heaven and hell,

then, definitely there's a Creator.

you know, Someone who created the whole thing.

That Someone, must have created the world we live in today,

the earth, the moon, the stars, the sky,

the galaxy, the milky way, the shooting stars,

the clouds, the sun, the trees, the hills, the birds, the bees,

and trizillion others.

And He must also have created US.

And He must also have created the Afterlife, heaven and hell.

He lets us live on this earth.

So that we do what He wants us to.

In order to prosper.

And later on when we die, He will make us live for eternity

in a place where He gives us the luxuries

we have always wanted all our lives,

without having to strive for it.

In heaven, no working required, no payment needed, no credit card bills coming your way.

But you wear the silkiest silk, ride the fastest and chicest car, live in houses made of pure gold.

remember : i'm writing this for those who believe.

And when we don't do what He wants us to

and continuosly transgress the earth

creating problems

and more problems

spending extravagantly while others are striving only for a bite of anything

He will then give eternal life too.

But this time, in a place

burning hot

flaming hot

with all kinds of torture you could ever imagine

and even worse than your imagination.

So who goes to heaven and who goes to hell?

He decides.

He wants those who followed His orders.

And of course, He had written it (His orders) clearly in a book. The Book.

And also sent messengers. messengerS.

So it's only fair that, after giving the guidance

through His Book and His Messengers,

He chooses who He wants in His Heaven

and His hell.

The big question is. Who is He?

remember : i'm writing this for those who believe.

lotsa love, battah.

jom cegah jenayah!

2006-09-04T07:57:00.000-07:00

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Yesterday i went for a crime-fighting talk organized by Nisa', an NGO for moslemat. It was given by En. Kamal Affendi, and he was dead funny. The talk was not boring at all, the laughs that we had, but it ended in a very sad way, he showed us a video on the victims' families, what happened at the crime scene, the sadness of each family member upon receiving the news, everyone was in tears, including i myself. so girls, here are a few tips i learned from the talk:

RAGUT case:

1. Take the neccessary precautions and read do'a before leaving the house, bismillahi tawakkaltu 'alallah.

2. You have to put in mind that your LIFE is much much much more important than your handbag and whatever you have in it (even if it's the handphone you just bought an hour ago, or the only money you had in your bank which you had just withdrawn). They only want the bag, and they'll do whatever they can to get it. They don't really mean to kill you, but if that happens, than it's your own bad luck.

2. Bearing in mind that ANYONE can be a victim, choose a bag which could easily detach itself from the user and not vice versa. synthetic leather is better than genuine leather, hooks are better than tightly woven straps, ie cheap bags which fall apart easily suits you better in Malaysia than a Louis Vuitton. The Louis Vuitton may cost you both your money, and your life.

3. Try hard NOT to become a victim. Victim material : 1. Walk lenggang kangkong style 2. Not fully aware of her handbag's whereabouts, eg pushing the bag behind while putting things in the carboot 3. Lone ranger ie the probability that you are going to be the victim is 1 over 1 if you are the only person there, right? 4. Sweet and naive look (this look attracts both love-puppies and peragut) 5. carrying the handbag together with Dome's Twister, car keys, two other paperbags of just bought blouses and skirts, a bun from Rotiboy, and a scoop of the all time favourite jamoca almond fudge

4. Never walk alone and always be in places where there are many people. At least if there was a peragut, the chances that you might be the victim could be decreased.

5. Walk fast and be cautious, look around for any strange faces (differentiate a mat pit from a normal guy) and make sure they're far far away from you.

6. A bag with short straps is harder to snatch than long ones, but if it gets snatched, and it's a designer one, than it's a one way ticket to 6 feet underground. If you know what i mean. (Please look at #2.

He also talked about ROBBERS. You know, the people who come to you and say "money or your life~!"

The important basic is to make sure there's a way out from the situation since we do not want the robbery to get ugly and suddenly turn into a two in one thing, ie rape case.

1. If you are being robbed in the middle of nowhere, don't panic and look around before giving away your bag. Determine your running away direction and THROW the bag towards the opposite. While the robber's busy reaching out for the bag, RUUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!! (p.s/- don't throw the bag too far, the robber will turn to you instead. Throw it just so that he's a bit distracted.)

2. Be sure to put some of your cash and jewellery in the room nearest to the exit. When the robber asks for them, you can easily show them to him and at the same time give him room to leave the house. A robber will definitely choose to run with the loot. If he doesn't run, at least you can.

RAPE, this is the worst case scenario, nauzubillah minzalik.

1. Dress modestly. This is my personal tip. If you're a moslem, pls follow the moslem dress code. You're not being oppressed, it makes you look decent and nice, it lifts your dignity, it makes you free. Don't listen to what the westerners are telling you. I mean hello!!! They totally do not have the slightest bit of shame. Can you imagine a girl and a boy bathing in the same bathroom??? they're just nuts. If being free means having to show of your body just so that people appreciate you, than that's not being free. I can wear whatever i like and still have loads of friends and still be in the in crowd. Being free is being liked for what you are not just what you wear (or do not wear.. :>)

2. Dress modestly. Again?? Yup. Statistics show that the way the female dress turns the males on. Most men are animals, IF they do not practice their religion. But some animals are worse than others. The so-called better ones make dates, get to know the girl and then do whatever he likes. The worse kind never make any dates, jumps on you from behind and forces you to do what he wants.

3. This one comes from Mr Kamal. He told us to swear. Yes, as in the toot! And as loud as you can. And i think it's quite logical. But i thought of modifying it a bit. I mean, maybe shouting ALLLAHUAKBAR in a charging manner could produce the same psychological effect towards the rapist.

4. Next tip. Liquid Gas Solid. Can you guess what i'm talking about? I bet you, you cant. Unless, you've been listening to crime fighting lectures.

Liquid : emptying the bladder

Gas : emptying the bowel from gases

Solid : be my guess this time.. heh, yup you got that right, cleansing your bowel on the spot ie defecation. (kalau tak faham, pls, feel free to tanya)

Hrmm.. as gross as they sound, the LGS thing, they gross out the rapists too and this disturbs their "mood". I mean, logically no one would want to rape a girl who's pouring stool all over the place, right? And it's also a fact that when you are nervous, the gas you produce in your bowels is H2S, yessiree, rotten-egg smelling gas. Definitely a distraction!

Ok, so those are what i heard from En. Kamal. He has more tips, more analysis to share. He has his own tv show about crime fighting, every friday at 8.45pm on tv1, i think so. check the papers to be sure. You can also log on to www.webnisa.net, i think he writes there.

The tips discussed are not the solution to our problem, just a help, as the root is actually the lack of tarbiyyah or education which builds the human personality, instilling faith. Woe to Malaysia's education system which has created demoralized malaysians, totally westernized and ignorant about the true malaysian history and culture. The Malaysians living in the urbans are simply faithless, looking for fun and entertainment only. They work so that they could afford the extravagant life they live, partying all night and all weekend. The suburb Malaysians continue to be left behind, hardly a word of english do they understand, let alone having to study subjects in english, finally winding up taking subjects like perhutanan, per-this and per-that. Malaysians are unaware of the problems of the ummah, the brainwashing done by the zionists so that they could take control over our lives, our oil, our economy, our culture, our food. Now whatever we do is being dictated by the zionists. If you don't believe me, reflect upon your daily life. The music you listen to, the shampoo you use, the food you eat during lunch time, the candies you buy, the clothes you shop for, the cars you drive. Until the education system is changed, the crime rate's going to rise, and will never stop rising. Tips will stay tips and victims will increase. Thank you for spending your time reading this.

lots of love, battah.
