18/12/05 Morning
How do you shake hand with others?
Are you the one who grab the other's hands or the one who's being grabbed?
Are you the one who's controlling or being controlled?

My enemy is taking control on me..
They are able to manage the way I think..
Thus, was I invaded?
Allah,
They are shaking my iman..
I leave myself under Your control..

18/12/05 2.45 p.m
AKU
membazir iman ku
dengan gelak tawa yang
tak kena pada tempatnya
Sedangkan Rasul bersabda,
"Kalau kau faham apa yang aku faham,
kau akan lebih banyak menangis
daripada ketawa"
Ternyata aku dapati...
Aku masih belum faham?

18/12/05 lagi-lagi lepas itu
Mereka menyuruh kamu menulis pengajaran daripada
permainan mereka. Ternyata pengajaran tidak mengajar
kerana hanya tertulis di kertas dan bukan pada hati.

18/12/05 more after that..
How Culture Is Formed?
Desire --> Knowledge --> Skills --> Attitude --> Habits --> CULTURE !!

Tapi.... Kebudayaan Islam tidak bermula daripada nafsu.. tetapi wahyu yang mengawal nafsu ;-)

18/12/05 lagi tu
Aha..
I want borders..
We have borders..
I am rebelling
I am a victim of my own inability to stand up for my own principles


19/12/05
Bahasa buat lebih kuat daripada bahasa cakap...

I won't tighten my jaw with useless laughters anymore..

Non-sense --> Nonsense
Mata bersinar is not equivalent to mata berair sebab tahan marah aaa....


Pertembungan yang sangat menarik mengukir pengalaman hidup.... Ini realiti.. Malah lebih real daripada reality show yang mengarut ntah hape2.. This riverside versus the other riverside.. Anyhow, "udkhulu fissilmi kaffah" .. enter in islam perfectly! Masakan kau tidak akan bertembung apabila kau telah memilih salah satu daripada 2 angkatan yang wujud di dalam dunia ini.. Angkatan Islam mahupun angkatan Jahiliyah.... Moga aku ada tinggalkan tapak kaki ku di tebing sebelah sana untuk dijejaki supaya mereka tiba ke tebing sini.. Moga Allah pegang kaki ku untuk terus berdiri di tebing sini.. Walau kadang kaki goyah berdiri akibat selut dan lumpur...

catatan teralter sedikit... nukilan baru hidupku....

AUTO OR MANUAL?

Aha.... I'm back...
Salam to all... I hope everyone is in the greatest state of iman..
Holiday.. Dah masuk 2 minggu duk kat Msia... As usual, there are plenty of tasks to be handled since naik pangkat secara mendadak bila dah balik Msia.. When back in Aussie, just sebagai student, kawan... Sini, bertambah jawatan sebagai anak + cucu + mak sedara + adik + niece + adik ipar lalala.. dan banyak lagi..
Tapi kerja asasi.. Cam biasa :D Drebar!!
Herm... Auto or Manual vehicle? Which one do you prefer? Since I am a conservative type person who likes to do work in old and traditional ways, I prefer manual...

Why I Like Manual?

• Pikap (pick-up) lagi cepat.. tak tersengguk-sengguk masa lalu bumper... senang nak pecut masa lampu kuning...
• Konsentrasi lebih tinggi.. Lebih fokus.. Driving auto vehicle makes you prone to sleepiness.. Aha...
  
• Kalau kereta rosak.. tak banyak masalah.. lagi murah kot dari segi maintenance
• Generally, manual vehicles are cheaper compared to auto...

Sebenarnya, isu yang perlu dihayati lebih mendalam... Bukanlah apa yang saya senaraikan di atas ni... Ini adalah suatu pemerhatian yang perlu dilakukan... Betapa ciptaan manusia itu tidak pernah dapat mengatasi ciptaan Allah yang always smooth dan flawless....
Kereta auto.. Tak yah tukar gear.. Memang lebih mudah... Tapi, pikap tak smooth..
Kereta manual.. Orang kena tukar gear.. (Manusia kena kerja lebih sket nak memandu) tetapi pemanduan lebih baik....
Man is always better than machine ;-)

Cuba nyatakan satu machine yang dapat beroperasi selama 70 tahun tanpa henti...? Manusia yang ALlah takdirkan hidup 70 tahun, mempunyai jantung yang tidak pernah gagal dalam terus berdegup dan beroperasi..

Cuba nyatakan, robot mana yang dapat menerima multi-instructions dan melaksanakan dengan penuh ketaatan... Manusia yang diberi taufiq dan hidayah oleh Allah, mampu untuk tunduk kepada Allah dan melaksanakan amal ibadah yang pelbagai dengan penuh ketaatan.

Wallahuha'alam...

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?
