Salam... There are too many selfish people around the world today... Sometimes lead ourselves to be one of them as well... How many Muslims think about their sisters and brothers? The Prophet SAW said, "Tidak benar2 beriman seseorang itu, sehingga dia mencintai saudaranya sepertimana dia mencintai dirinya sendiri."
Palestine...
The world map now has eliminate your name...
Though Israel the world call you now, the soil of Al Quds know that they are yours, O Muslim ummah.
What happen to our brothers and sisters in Iraq? The so-called "peacemaker" is spreading misery to them. Men and women, regardless of their ages, tortured in the most creative way man can find.
Kashmir.. Pakistan.. Afghanistan...
When Allah tested our dear brothers and sisters
with the Al-Zalzalah (earth quake, called by the Pakistani)
Where is the contribution of those rich lands that Allah endows them?
They have the greatest castle and even toilet seat made out of gold,
but yet they are so poor in sensitivity and sympathy to their own brothers and sisters.
When Katrina struck the gigantic-powerful-country,
the Arab countries were so alert to bequeath her.
Acheh..
This land is once the home for jihad
The earth witnessed the sincere mujahidin of Allah..
Fighting the Dutch and all the infidels' agenda..
When tsunami walloped and flattened you,
Your dear neighbour country delayed their parties and entertainments,
not so long after that the continued lossing their minds with musics and crazy dances..
They only amazed when the houses of Allah stood strong still
But they never learnt to gain their iman..
You, O Muslim ummah.
Just sit back on your chair,
sipping the finest coffee or tea,
combing the pages of newspapers,
learning the desolation of your own people
But you sat and do nothing...
Is it so hard just to sit,
at least..raise your hands and make a du'a to Allah,
seek for Allah's forgiveness for the rest of our ummah,
and seek Allah's help so that we are firm against the enemies of Allah...
O Allah, forgive me and forgive my people for our negligance in observing out duties..
O Allah, I am indeed so weak.. Strengthen me to help your deen, as I am indeed so need of your help as well....
Make A Prayer
(by Sami Yusuf)

O people
In a hut made of tin and clay
A small boy dreams away
Of clean water and a meal a day
And not to fear mines as he plays each day
O people
Somewhere dark and out of the way
Aids has found yet another prey
To save his life he just couldn’t pay
Tell me what we’re going to do
For our brothers in Durban
For our sisters in Darfur
Show me what we’re going to do
Are we just going to sit there?
Nice and cosy on our armchairs
Will we not even make a prayer?
You might ask yourself
Why should I help these people?
They’ll tell you why
We’re not so different from you
We have dreams just like you
But they were buried with thebodies of our loved ones
O people
Are we deaf, dumb, and blind?
What is going through our minds?
Don’t we care for the rest of mankind?
O people
We claim to love peace and justice
Why do we preach what we don’t practice?
Let’s help them out of this darkness
Tell me what we’re going to do
For our brothers in Ethiopia
For our sisters in Rwanda
Show me what we’re going to do
Are we just going to sit there?
Nice and cosy on our armchairs
Will we not even make a prayer?
