Assalamualaikum wbt..

Just wanna shoot a random question in this boring night.

Which one fits you?

a) Absence makes the heart grows fonder

b) Out of sight, out of mind

As for me, I'm more to B-type. Why? Dunno.

There's more than what meets the eye.

Less is more.

62 years..

Assalamualaikum wbt

Mind you, this is no poem, this is no song

Just the thing that pours from my mind in this early morning

Take note readers!!

1. Pardon for the poor vocabulary and grammar, I'm no good in English, but still trying to polish it

2. Make an insight about the intrinsic value (the content), not the extrinsic value (presentation) of this text.

There's more than what meets the eye.

****************************************

It's 15th May

It's been 62 years

6 decades

Plus 2 years

Does anyone bother about it?

Does anyone even know what it's all about?

It's 15th May

Does it makes any difference to you?

Will it be another boring, insignificant day?

Will you be doing your normal routine

And then call it a day?

It' 15th May

In one part of the world, people both celebrate and mourn.

Strange enough, so contradict, aye?

The two overwhelming emotions in the very same place.

It's 15th May

Have we done anything to alleviate the pain?

Or are we just going to let it be,

claiming it's not our task to ponder or think?

It's 15th May

Let's escape for a while

From the world you thought you know

To the other dimension

Where you know it's existence

Yet you forgot about it, frequently

It's 15th May

And it's not too late

To forget about the pain

And learn from it

Rise with your head held high

Thinking about your people

Instead of yourself only

It's 15th May, the fated 15th May, the dreaded 15th May

Don't let others make us down in dismay

We might not in the same route

But never forget our root

Of who we are, and who we were

And why thing happens the way they happened

P/S : For those who have no idea about this poorly written text of mine, have a good look at this :

http://crystalsofcanterbury.blogspot.com/2010/05/apa-itu-nakbah.html

And ah, just another piece of mind

(from the book Sakinah - Sumber Ketenangan Hidup by A Ubaidillah Alias) :

Tiga nawaitu yang meletakkan keikhlasan dalam amal seseorang :

1. Beramal kerana menjauhi dosa dan takutkan azab neraka Allah SWT

2. Beramal kerana mahukan ganjaran pahala dan mengejar syurga-Nya

3. Beramal kerana mencintai Pencipta dan mengharapkan reda-Nya

This poorly written text is made to serve the purpose of reminding you people and me myself.

And I sincerely hope that this doing of mine falls in the 3rd category. Thanks a lot for those who read this post, TOGETHER with the link.

It's just a small part from me, the least that I can made for this while; reminding you and me.

And now it requires your part.

Biology in action!!

This is a poor analogy (but sorry I can't think of other at this time)

Remember the Electron Transport Chain reaction in mitochondria?

Electron = This reminder

Ubiquinone = Me

Cytochorome = You

Proton pumps = Our people

ATP = Result of this reminder

Spread the words around, you people!!

If a job is worth doing then it is worth doing well

Moo-jar-har-dah

Assalamualaikum wbt..

Just wanna share this piece.. =)

Berkata Imam Abu Taimiyah :

Jihad pada hakikatnya ialah berusaha bersungguh-sungguh untuk mencapai apa yang diredhai Allah dari keimanan dan amal soleh dan berusaha menolak atau menentang perkara yang dimurkai Allah sama ada kekufuran, kefasikan dan kemaksiatan.

Menurut Sayyid Abdul-A'la al-Maududi:

"Setiap orang yang berusaha meninggikan kalimah Islam dengan menggunakan segala yang ada padanya daripada harta benda, jiwa raga, pena (penulisan) dan lidah (bercakap atau berdakwah), maka ia tanpa ragu lagi tergolong dalam orang yang berjihad di jalan Allah dengan pengertian jihad yang umum......"

Jihad dengan perngertian yang umum (menurut syara') :

"Segala daya usaha dan segenap kekuatan yang dicurahkan untuk menegakkan hukum atau perintah Allah di atas muka bumi ini dan membersihkan segala Taghut yang menjadi penghalang kepada jalan dakwah."

Jihad umum ini terbahagi kepada 5 jenis :

1. Jihad mali (harta)

2. Jihad tablighi (menyampaikan dakwah)

3. Jihad ta'limi (pembelajaran)

4. Jihad siyasi (politik)

5. Jihad Qital (peperangan)

Buat sahabat-sahabat di luar sana (di GMT+2 khususnya, dan lain-lain time zone), yang akan berhadapan dengan imtihan ataupun sedang berhadapan dengan imtihan, jika tengah terasa down straight to the drain, stress, tekanan perasaan dan apa-apa yang sama waktu dengannya, meh la kite same-same ambil booster dose: set balik niat kita, ingat kewajipan kita (i.e-j.i.h.a.d), di mana kita secara automatik & autokratik jatuh pada kategori ke-3.

Dah siap setting? Bagus.. =)

Maka dengan ini, come hell or high water, even if you fail, you will accept it as you know that He knows what's the best for you. If you cannot make things work, make the best out of it.

Just some random thoughts in a boring night.. Got to reflect myself a little. Alhamdulillah..

(Btw, all the written pieces were copied from the good book Peperangan Rasulullah SAW by Hj Ahmad Adnan Fadhil & Hj Riduan Mohd Nor)

Ooo.. Lala..

Assalamualaikum wbt..

Wee... The awaited parcel from Msia finally knocks the door!!! =)

Yep, I ordered these books online and asked the company to post it all the way from Msia to Prague.. Costly gak r..

Berapa?

I'm not gonna tell..

Silly!

Yeah right, but this is my self indulgence...

Tak boleh tunggu sampai balik Msia dulu ke?

Yezza!!! (tanpa ragu2)

Read, and then you'll know... =)

Anyways, I haven't read them yet.. I've got to "khatamkan" Histology (chapter Special Sensory Organ) first.. Or else, Prof B will haunt me in my dreams... -_-"

What a tough week, I supposed.. T_T

Verily, with every difficulty there is relief, with every difficulty there is relief (94:5-6)

P/S : Honestly memang akan rasa lega gile bile baca these verses time2 tgh down..

(-_-")

Assalamualaikum wbt..

Too soon for a new post, huh?
Just feel like spilling something on the blog.
Blog can be the best approach for people to know the other side of you,
and it can be the best camouflage to make people perceive you the way you want them to..
And as for now, with such monotonous and nonsense ramblings, can people tell me what am I thinking right now?
Will the alter ego me be figured out?
Would you think that I'm a weirdo, outer space human from 4 dimensional world, trying to adjust myself with this competitive surrounding, comprehending the equilibrium of justice and injustice, fate and luck?
I couldn't care less.

And grief, no matter how you try to cater to its wail, has a way of fading away. (Virginia Andrews).


إِنَّمَا يُوَفَّى الصَّابِرُونَ أَجْرَهُمْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ

Indeed, the patient will be given their reward without account.” [az-Zumar 39:10].

Sulayman ibn Qasim said that:

THE REWARD OF EVERY DEED IS KNOWN, EXCEPT FOR THE REWARD OF PATIENCE, WHICH WILL BE LIKE HEAVY RAIN.

There's more than what meets the eye.

MAK, AKU & SAKIT RUMAH.. T_T

Assalamualaikum wbt..

± 6 months being abroad.. (sigh).. I thought I am immune enough to counterback the HOMESICK virus yang selalunye mnyerang insan-insan sepertiku ini (who is miles and miles away from home).. Guess now I'm at my limit..

Well, if and only if Doraemon does exist, there will be only 2 things I'll ask from him; Pintu Suka Hati & Mesin Cahaya Masa. I know, I know that I'm starting to sound like outerspace human creature, rambling bout useless things (Doraemon? Seriously I need to escape from my 4 dimensional world). But, being intrinsic-ly alone brings out the other side of you... (Okay yana, stop rambling)

Out of blue, the motor neuron that innervates my digits sends impulses to my skeletal muscle yang gatal buka iGoogle tab.

SEARCHBOX : Jika terdengar suara azan, bergema sayu menjelang pagi

Then, I clicked the link and listen to the song. My mom's fav.. MAK!! Orang rindu!!!! Selama ni kalo Skype @ VoipBuster ngan mak, I'll only talk about how I miss Malaysia; my family, the foods and the surrounding (eheh).. I never particularly said how much I miss her (or did I?). Instead, I'll ask :

"Mak rindu orang tak?"

And she'll always reply something like:

"Mak rindu sangat kat akak, tengok muka je kat komputer/dengar suara kat telefon tak puas, mak nak peluk akak sangat2.."

And I'll reply,

"(laughs) Iye ke? (nada x percaya + mngusik) Farah, Lin, Fikri & Husna kan ade.."

Mak will say:

"Takkan same punye dengan anak sulung mak tu.."

Even if I said I miss her, I wasn't being 100% truthful on that time (truk kan?) I did said sweet words for my Mom who longs for her eldest daughter (shakes head).. Mak!! Ampun! Orang betul-betul rindu sekarang nih!!!

The funny thing is, when I get sick (even minor sickness, eg: headache, stomache), I'll lie down on my bed, thinking about my Mom and remembering the things that she'll do when she sees me in that situation. Seriously, I hate medical appointments, meeting doctors, going to hospitals, swallowing pills (I'm not good at eating those). So, my Mom will be the one who apply the oinment @ picit my kepala. Erm, ingat mak bile sakit.. Ntah ape2 je, kan?

Okay, back to the Orkes El Suraya thingy, the "classic song" - says Kak Aqielah (bukan nama sebenar).. Put the link on my YM status.. Bile dengar lagu tu, terus rase berair mata ni... Nasib x meleleh je coz Yan n Maira were in the room. And I casually let them listening to it, casually saying that "It's my Mom's fav", with a broad, huge smile. And Kak Aqielah (bukan nama sebenar) buzzed kat YM n suruh nyanyi that classic song, i was like "Owh, ade gak orang dengar lagu ni ek".. Then, Sab (juga bukan nama sebenar) tegur kat YM and said something like "Syahdu sungguh lagu fav mak awak (kinda poetic, kan Sab?), kite pun rindu mak kite gak.. takpe, nanti kita balik Malaysia same-same, InsyaAllah.." On that particular time, I felt the surge to fly back home right away (hyperbola, I know). But then I realised, the reason of why I am here is because of my Mom and the family (second to Allah), and I should do my best to keep them happy, eventhough from afar. How? By doing my best in my study. And not to forget, always pray for them (& of course, increase the # of phone calls). Because...

وَوَصَّيْنَا الْإِنْسَانَ بِوَالِدَيْهِ حَمَلَتْهُ أُمُّهُ وَهْنًا عَلَى وَهْنٍ وَفِصَالُه فِي عَامَيْنِ أَنِ اشْكُرْ لِي وَلِوَالِدَيْكَ إِلَيَّ الْمَصِيرُ

وَإِنْ جَاهَدَاكَ عَلى أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ فَلَا تُطِعْهُمَا وَصَاحِبْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا مَعْرُوفًا وَاتَّبِعْ سَبِيلَ مَنْ أَنَابَ إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ إِلَيَّ مَرْجِعُكُمْ فَأُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِمَا كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ

And We enjoined upon man goodness towards his parents: his mother bore him by bearing strain upon strain, and his weaning takes two years. Hence, be thankful to Me and to your parents. With Me is the end of all journeys. Yet, should they endeavour to force you to make gods beside Allah, of whom you have no knowledge then do not obey them. But, even then keep them company in this world's life with customary good behaviour, but follow the faith of those who turn towards Me. [Luqman 31: 14-15.]

وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَقُلْ رَبِّ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيرًا

You shall lower to them your wings of humility and pray: "O Rabb! Bestow on them Your blessings just as they cherished me when I was a little child."(Al Israa' 17:24)

Dan, dengan penuh rasa gembira, besar hati dan bangga, saya ingin menyatakan bahawa:

And guys, this is my mom's fav song... Mind sharing your mom's? =)

Madah Terakhir

Jika terdengar suara azan
Bergema sayu menjelang pagi
Dalam irama ku kirim pesan
Sebagai tanda aku dah pergi

Jangan ditanya sebab kerena
Mengapa aku pergi menghindar
Dari kau dekat tapi merana
Elok ku jauh tinggal mendengar

( korus )
Biarlah aku pergi dahulu
Tidak tertahan lagi derita
Semoga yang tinggal senyum selalu
Yang pergi hilang lenyap berita

Bila kelak daku terkenang
Ku tatap bintang di malam kelam
Bila tak sanggup daku berenang
Ku relakan diri hanyut tenggelam

I Can't Explain You

Assalamualaikum wbt..

It's been a while since I wrote my latest post. Don't feel like blogging.. *sigh*

Anyways, since website means laman sesawang, let my blog bersawang... hehe...

Apepun, thanks to Ain who let me participate in one of the greatest online Islamic conference (in fact, this is my first), talking about Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)..

This poem by Aaron Haroon Sellars really strucked me; it was beautifully written and meaningful (bak kata Ain, Sab & Maira ~ puisi tuh sampai ke hati) =)

Hopefully we (you and me) can madly, deeply, "intoxicatedly" fall in love with this greatest creature of God. The best father, husband, friend, leader, teacher, and human being..

I wish that you readers enjoy this wonderful poem as much as I (and my friends) do.. =)

I Can’t Explain You (Oh Messenger of God)
by Aaron Haroon Sellars 4/24/08

I could not write about you
For fear
Fear of your presence
And fear of
My hearts’ brittleness
That I might die
In this pursuit
Yet wishing to die
In this state of intoxicated love
This is the conflict within me
Language cannot explain
Except the language
Of tears and laughter
Even the molecules
Of my body
Shake and tremble
With awe and excitement!

I just can’t explain!
Oh Messenger of God!
I can’t explain you!

Sometimes I forget
To say “Prophet” before your name
Not from heedlessness
But from desirous haste
To just say your name!
Muhammad, Muhammad, Muhammad!

I just can’t explain!
Oh Messenger of God!
I can’t explain you!

Oh the mystery of how
You have captured my heart
As a Christian
I loved the Prophets
Before you
But with you
I get them all!
I can love
Abraham, Moses and Jesus
Just by loving you!
Without this love
Your nation falls
With it
They are purified and irresistible!
Let those who
Possess this love
Not be stingy
Take it to the marketplace!
The workplace
And especially the home

It’s hard to explain!
Oh Messenger of God!
I can’t explain you!

Seeing the land of your life
Causes some to live
And seeing your grave
Causes some to die
Nothing is more difficult
Than you

In my youth
I have written easily
My love for many
But when I encountered you
The translator of my heart
Fell mute
Lost in inexplicable wonder!

That is hard to explain!
Oh Messenger of God!
I can’t explain you!

You sacrificed for me
Before I was even born
How should I thank you
As I now walk upon the earth?
My heart holds your love
My tongue sends you blessings
But it is my limbs
That often fall short
All this controversy about you
A proof of the veil
On the hearts of your enemies
And a proof against those
Who only follow you with words
But don’t turn your face from me
As I reach for a drink
From your soft hands

Because it’s hard to explain!
Oh Messenger of God!
I can’t explain you!
