Kehebatan "Istighfar"

2011-06-07T13:42:00.001+09:30

Salam dearest akhawat fillah..
Moga kisah ni banyak manfaat untuk amal2 kita..
dan menjadi amal berharga untuk study kita, insyaAllah ♥

Kisah ni adalah mengenai Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal (seorang tokoh hadith dan ilmuwan fiqh terkenal). Beliau juga adalah pengasas mazhab Hanbali. Antara gelaran beliau ialah "Sheikh ul-Islam" dan "Imam kpd Ahl as-Sunnah."

Pada suatu hari (ketika usia Imam Ahmad ni sudah pun agak tua), beliau pergi ke satu pekan. Selepas solat isya' berjemaah di masjid, Imam Ahmad pun berniat nak bermalam di masjid tu sebab beliau tak ada kenalan di pekan itu. Imam Ahmad ni pun tak ada lah nak umum kat semua orang sebagai Imam Ahmad (yang dikenali ramai) sebab beliau ni tawadhu' dan tak nak 'diperbesar2kan'. Tapi, Imam Ahmad tak dibenarkan bermalam di masjid oleh pak guard masjid tu.

Dekat2 dengan masjid tu, ada Kedai Roti; dan penjual roti tu nampak seorang tua (Imam Ahmad la tu) telah 'diheret' keluar oleh si pak guard masjid. Penjual roti ni kesian tengok pakcik tua tu, agaknya tak ada tempat nak tidur. Jadi dia pun offer kat pakcik ni untuk bermalam kat rumah dia.

Imam Ahmad pun tumpanglah di rumah si bakery tu. Semasa di rumah si bakery, Imam Ahmad dapat tengok pemprosesan roti2 ni sebelum dijual. apa yang menarik ialah, si bakery ni sentiasa dan berulang2 kali ber'istighfar' (mohon keampunan pada Allah) masa tengah buat roti ni. Imam Ahmad pun tanya pada si bakery kalau2 amalan dia (ber'istighfar' tu) ada effect pada hidup dia.

Si bakery ni cakap pada Imam Ahmad yang Allah telah mengabulkan semua permintaan (doa) dia, kecuali satu (yang belum dia dapat). Imam Ahmad pun tanya, "apa keinginanmu yang belum kau dapat?"

Si bakery tu jawab, "iaitu kemuliaan untuk bertemu dengan Al-Imam Ahmad bin Hanbal."

Lalu Imam Ahmad pun membalas, "Allah bukan saja telah mendengar doa mu, malah Allah telah membawa dia (Imam Ahmad) ke pintu rumahmu."

Subhanallah :) ♥

Power of “Istighfar” (A moving story)

(from website: http://www.iqrasense.com/forgiveness/power-of-istighfar-a-moving-story.html).

[Summarized from Al Jumuah magazine, vol 19, issue 7]

This story is a reminder of the power of saying Istighfar (seeking forgiveness) frequently. Let’s remember that the prophet used to say Istighfar frequently during the day. Tafseer Al-Qurtubi states:

A man complained to Al-Hasan about a drought, and he said to him: “Pray to Allah for forgiveness.”
Another man complained to him of poverty and he said to him: “Pray to Allah to forgive you.”
Another man said to him: “Pray to Allah to bless me with a child.” He said: “Pray to Allah for forgiveness.”
Another complained to him that his garden was dry. He said to him: “Pray to Allah for forgiveness.”
He was asked about it and he said: “This is not my personal opinion, for Allah says in Surah Nooh (interpretation of the meaning): ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, He is Oft Forgiving; He will send rain to you in abundance. And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.” Tafseer Al-Qurtubi (18/301-302)

One of the narrators of a Hadith was asked about the manner in which forgiveness is to be sought, to which he answered: "The Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) used to say: ‘Astaghfirullah! Astaghfirullah! (I beseech Allah for forgiveness, I beseech Allah for forgiveness)’.” [Sahih Muslim].

bismillah...

setelah selesai membaca journal2 (compulsory) yang prof. ted berikan, serta selesai memprint essay yang value nya 5% dpd markah course sem ini, diri ini terasa sedih (dan letih!)... banyaknye masa yang akan terbuang andainya aku tetap memilih jalan 'itu'...

bidang psikologi yang mengkaji tentang perbezaan individu.. kelihatannya sangat menarik...hampir 2 tahun setengah aku terpesona dengan 'lukisan megah' itu.. tp akhirnya termangu sendirian.. tertanya2 apa yg ahli2 akademik ini sedang asyik ungkaikan... jawapan apa yang sedang mereka carikan?

ada yang dengan bongkaknya mengatakan perbezaan kita terletak sepenuhnya pada genetik.. DNA dalam sel badan kita penentu kesuksesan dan taraf hidup.. sudah ditentukan sejak lahir.. tapi ada pula yang dengan lantangnya mendebat.. bahawa egalitarian itu unsur utama pembentukan masyarakat dunia yang makmur... manusia ini semuanya sedarjat... cerdik atau berjaya seseorang itu letaknya pada peluang yang sekata untuk semua...

namun akhirnya, tiada jawapan yang disepakati... uji kaji dan soal selidik dijalankan tanpa keluh kesah, kononnya demi mencari kebenaran yang pasti... habis berbelanja wang, harta, tenaga dan masa... walhal walaupun jawapan akan mereka setujui, ianya tidak akan memberi apa2 makna, malah tidak juga menjamin kebahagiaan yang hakiki..

aku yang muslim (berserah diri sepenuhnya pada Allah yang Maha Esa) ini rasa bahagia apabila Tuhan tidak mendiskriminasi manusia atas dasar genetik yang telah tetap sejak lahir, yang tidak kita diberi pilihan... malah tidak juga menyamakan semua manusia tanpa satu pun kelainan, seolah2nya kita tiada keunikan, keistimewaan atau keperluan yang tersendiri...

tapi Tuhan itu Adil... yang tinggi darjatnya di sisi Tuhan ialah yang paling bertaqwa... satu ciri yang diberi pilihan sepenuhnya pada kita... andai kita memilih untuk menjadi golongan mulia ini, kebahagiaan hakiki lah yang bakal dimenangi di akhirat yang kekal nanti...

aku ingin tergolong dalam kumpulan ini!! jadi aku mesti terus berusaha mencapai ketaatan sebagai hamba Tuhan, dan mencapai matlamat hidup sebagai manusia di muka bumi ini (yang Allah ceritakan dalam Al-Quran - 2:30 & 51:56)...

:: Ramadhan di Adelaide ::

2010-08-10T23:49:00.004+09:30

Bismillah..

Alhamdulillah setelah bermacam2 ura2 yang didengar,

insyaAllah diri ini dan keluarga akan berpuasa esok hari =)

Terdapat dua pendapat di Adelaide tentang sambutan Ramadhan 1431H:

1. Pendapat Adelaide City Mosque dan Al-Khalil Mosque yang baru saja tak sampai tiga jam tadi mengumumkan puasa esok.. jadi solat terawih telah berlangsung di sana selepas solat isya' tadi.. kesimpulannya puasa esok..

2. Pendapat 'Ayn Academy yang akan tengok anak bulan esok malam...

jadi mereka ni insyaAllah akan mula berpuasa lusa kut..

Melbourne, Sydney, Newcastle dan kawasan2 timur OZ pula insyaAllah

telah diumumkan mula berpuasa hari Khamis.. (tapi ada dua pendapat jugak di Melbourne)

Kat bawah ni ada explanation dari emel oleh akhi Ajil...
tapi campur dgn bahasa inggeris la...sekadar perkongsian :)

The Astronomical New Moon is on August 10, 2010 (Tuesday) at 11:08 am Makkah Time. Sunset in Makkah on August 10 is at 6:55 pm. On that day, the Topocentric Altitude of the moon in Makkah at sunset is 1.6 degrees. Therefore, the first day of Ramadan is on August 11, 2010 (Wednesday), making the first Tarawih prayer to be on the night of Tuesday August 10, 2010. In theory, any country which the sun sets earlier than 11.08 Makkah Time, will celebrate Ramadhan the day after.

Rujukan: http://hilal-discourse.net/default.aspx

Beza Makkah - Victoria, 7 Jam

so, 11.08am Makkah = 6.08 pm (maghrib 5.40pm) NC maghrib 5.21pm

Beza Makkah - Adelaide, 6.30 jam

so, 11.08am Makkah = 5.38 pm (maghrib 5.40pm) sipi2 je

"Apakah kamu mengira bahawa kamu akan masuk syurga, padahal belum nyata bagi Allah orang-orang yang berjihad di antara kamu, dan belum nyata orang-orang yang sabar.."

(Ali-Imran:142)

Ayat Allah di atas menceritakan tentang suasana di Perang Uhud..
Peringatan Tuhan terhadap hamba-hambanya yang sedang berjuang...

Sebagai seorang hamba lemah yang mencari-cari sinar kekuatan,
Al-Quran itu kita baca dan seupayanya kita hayati..

diri ini teringat kata2 ustaz;
kita bukan faqih (ahli fiqh yang expert) yang mencari hukum wajib dan halal
(malah, hukum2 begini kita belajar dari mereka)..
tapi kita adalah muslim yang perlu mengambil mau'izoh (pengajaran) dari isi-isi Al-Quran..

Bila Quran itu dibaca, hati ini perlu dibuka..
kerana Quran itu diturunkan untuk kita...

Tapi kalau kita sendiri tak merasai ayat-ayat Allah itu untuk kita;
takkan sampai mau'izohnye...
takkan tersentak diri kita...
takkan tergerak hati kita...
malah takkan meningkat iman dan amal kita..

Ayat di atas ku petik untuk mengajar diri ini bersabar...
untuk ku ingatkan diri bahawa jihad itu takkan selesai sebelum ajal...
untuk ku 'herdik' diri ini agar malu pada Dia Yang Menyaksikan..
mana mungkin syurga dapat diperolehi kalau diri masih belum nyata sabar...
kalau jihad masih kadang ku buat dengan semangat, dan kadang ku tinggal dengan mudahnya...

Selama dua puluh tiga tahun aku di dunia ini, apa yang telah aku lakukan?
Ternyata amal ku terlalu kecil untuk ku persembahkan pada Dia Yang Maha Mengetahui..

Aku perhatikan sahabat2 di sekeliling...
Ada yang jauh benar dari mata, ada juga yang cukup dekat;
cumalah beberapa langkah dari rumah..
Ada yang ku lihat masih semangat mengejar tarbiyyah, masih tangkas di jalan dakwah..
Ada yang ku tercari2 kelibatnya, tak ku ketahui kemana dia menghilang...
Ada juga yang tatkala ku terpandang, terasa sebak kegembiraan...

malah aku terpesona!
kerana dia yang dulu dan kini, sungguh jauh berbeza hebatnya...
jika dia yang dulu; aku hanya pandang sebelah mata..
dia yang kini membuat aku sangat malu dengan diri sendiri...

sungguh, manusia itu sering berubah...

manusia itu berupaya untuk berubah...

dengan masa, dengan keazaman; perubahan itu mudah...

alhamdulillah~

peluang keemasan utk lebih fokus menambah amal dan meningkatkan iman!

Kali ni guna layout gelap..

Sebelum nih seboleh2 nye avoid the dark colours..

to me..

dark colours = dark feelings = dark mood

Kali ni?

oh well...

Sometimes you feel like you ~~can~~ wanna hide behind the shadows~

so here's a dark-shadowy layout..

Question in mind:

Admitting d----t.. is it difficult??

Another Voice at the back of the mind:

You can admit all you want.. but does that solve it all??

tapi dalam gelap.. mesti ada cerah kan?

langit yg hitam.. ada bulan yg putih..

takpun, ada bintang yang kuning..

kalau takde pon.. cume lah gerhana sebentar kan?

hakikatnya, kita tahu cahaya tetap wujud..

somewhere, sometimes..

adakah aneh kalau dalam sedih kita mengharapkan gembira?

dalam kekalahan, kita menunggu kebangkitan...

dalam kekosongan, kita mencari kepadatan...

dan bila keseorangan, kita merasa kewujudan...

lebih beruntung kita ummat islam..

yang di hati tetap ada TUHAN..

walau pahit peria hidup kita,

masih mengharap manis di akhirat sana..

manusia mana yg hidup sentiasa berbunga??

Nabi Muhammad s.a.w pon dilontar batu, ditendang, disumpah, dimaki..

hidup kat dunia mesti ada susah.. ada lemah..

tapi aduhai... syaitan itu memang suka menambah2..

matlamat agungnya: supaya manusia hilang pedoman.. hilang arah tujuan.. lupa diri berTUHAN..

alangkah best nya bila diri rasa kuat..

tapi realitinya??

"Dan janganlah kamu merasa lemah, dan janganlah pula bersedih hati, sebab kamu paling tinggi (darjatnya), jika kamu orang beriman.." (Ali-Imran:139)

- Dan tiba2 teringat pada kisah arwah Akh Ariff yang pergi menemui Ilahi hari Jumaat, 11 Dis lalu, selepas 4 jam akad nikah.. Sama2 lah kita hadiahkan Al-Fatihah utk beliau~ *mati itu pasti..bersediakah kita?*

:: Rama-Rama Rupanya ::

2009-11-23T01:09:00.006+10:30

Bismillah...

cinta selayaknya seperti seekor rama-rama..

semakin kalian mengejarnya,
semakin jauh ia terbang meninggalkan kalian..

biarkan rama-ramamu terbang kemana saja ia suka..

siapa tahu..
bila ia lelah dan tidak sedar akan kewujudanmu,
ia bakal mengibaskan sayapnya ke arahmu,
menumpang teduh dari panas, hujan, badai duniawi,
dalam keadaan yang kau tidak sangka..

mungkin saja rama-rama yang kau kejar itu,
bukan rama-rama yang Allah peruntukkan buatmu..

sekali baca, mcm bunga2 gitu..
dua kali baca, mcm dh konpius..
tiga kali baca, terpaksa la bukak kamus..
huhu~

tp yg jelas lagi kristal:

mungkin saja rama-rama yang kau kejar itu,
bukan rama-rama yang Allah peruntukkan buatmu..

pengajarannya:

tak perlu kejar2 cinta dunia..
sbb awal2 lg Allah dh tetapkn jodoh kite sume..

*cinta dunia refers to 'cinta yg menodai iman', yg menjadikan Tuhan bukan number one! cinta ini bukan saja subjektif, malah sgt kreatif; terlalu mudah disamar2kn dalam kancah jahiliyah skrg...

Bismillah...

Sangat terharu dapat advice macam ni...

What is your advice to the many sisters out there who would like to write and publish books?

My first and most ardent advice would be to ensure that your foundational Islamic knowledge is both strong and correct before picking up a pen, as whatever you write will follow you to the grave and likely be there long after you die.

It is pertinent to remember that we will be called to account for every word, action, and deed in our lives. This reminder is even more pertinent in writing, which will likely affect the lives of others perhaps centuries after you have passed on.

My second advice is to ask Allah’s guidance throughout the entire process of writing, as well as securing the acquaintance of trustworthy, wise, and knowledgeable Muslims to review your work before publication.

Also, it is essential that you pray Istikhaarah sincerely before you put any work into print, being sure to remember that heeding good Islamic advice of others is central to Istikhaarah itself.

Finally, make sure you constantly seek to purify your intentions. This is achieved through never wishing for fame, but rather sincerely hoping for righteous prominence that is a direct reflection of Allah’s love for you established in the heavens, as once this divine love is decreed, love for you is established on the earth. Sincerity is further achieved through constant du’aa, tawbah, and never neglecting your foundational Islamic duties that always take precedence over your work.

Ini peringatan dari favourite author, Umm Zakiyyah, yang tulis buku 'If I should Speak', 'A Voice', 'Footsteps' and 'Realities of Submission'...

Setakat ni baru ada dua buku dia...sebab buku dia mahal2 (posting la)... ada tak sape2 kat US yg nk tlg belikan buku die byk2? ingat nak jual kat OZ ni skit.. huhuhu~

JERUSALEM QUARTET:

Please join the protest - this Friday 13 November

Dear All

We need as many of you as possible to join us in protesting the appearance in Adelaide of the Jerusalem Quartet, which will be performing at the Town Hall this Friday night 13 November.

We will be standing in silent protest outside the Adelaide Town Hall with placards and we will be handing out some of the leaflets produced for the occasion, asking people to boycott—or stay away from — the concert (For handout please see link to AFOPA website below).

We are gathering at 6.45pm that evening (Friday 13 November) outside Anthony Mason Chambers, 201 Victoria Square, Adelaide (western side). From there, we will walk across the intersection to the Town Hall, to start our protest from about 7.00pm. We envisage finishing about 7.50 or 7.55pm, just before the scheduled start for the concert at 8.00pm.

If you are intending to come, please contact David Smith (assistant secretary on the AFOPA executive) who is coordinating the protest. David can be contacted by phone on 08 8362 4465 or be email at d.david.smith@gmail.com.

If you would like to read something more on the reasons for AFOPA asking the public to boycott the concert, see the attached article “Cultural Boycotts”. You can also check out the AFOPA flyer on the reasons for the boycott (click here to see the pdf).

Please demonstrate your support for this cause, and stay away from the Jerusalem Quartet’s performance in November.

CULTURAL BOYCOTTS

Adelaide is a proud supporter of the arts. The city successfully has established one of the world’s most respected international arts festivals—which next year celebrates its 50th anniversary. State governments, city authorities, local businesses and enlightened citizens consistently, over several decades, have invested substantial time, effort and funds into encouraging and developing a thriving arts community.

In these endeavours, all parties have been inspired and rewarded by the presentation of outstanding and stimulating performances by leading international and Australian players, writers, artists and musicians.

In these circumstances, the question of boycotting the performance of one such outstanding group of performers comes as something of a surprise and even as a shock. But that question is what many classical music devotees currently are considering.

One of the world’s most respected string quartets is scheduled to perform in Adelaide on November 13, to play music by Haydn, Schubert and Australia’s own Carl Vine. The problem posed by the performance, however, is that the players are from a country which has institutionalised violence against life and livelihood and which consistently defies international calls for this behaviour to stop.

The performing group is the Jerusalem Quartet, and the country it represents, as cultural ambassadors, is Israel. Examples of Israeli aggression and destruction are reported almost daily in our news media. Israel’s refusal to adopt United Nations resolutions to withdraw from its illegal occupation of Palestinian territories, and its concomitant mistreatment of Palestinian people, is well-known and widely abhorred.

Because the prominent national governments in the world so far have failed to persuade Israel to reverse this intransigence, many of the world’s citizens, most numerically in western countries, have resorted in the past 2-3 years to adopting programs of action directed against the Israeli state itself.

In particular, those citizens have instigated, and continue to expand, a program of boycott and sanctions against Israeli companies and organisations, and against international companies and organisations doing business with Israel.

Adopting a model similar to that so successfully targeted against the apartheid regime in South Africa in the 1980s, the aim of the boycott and sanctions campaign is to demonstrate citizens’ disfavour with Israeli policies, as one means, eventually, of forcing the Israeli state to recognise its international obligations.

This is the context in which many Adelaide music lovers already have decided to stay away from the November concert of the Jerusalem Quartet, and many others are considering whether they should or not. To boycott the performance is only a small gesture in a small city, and hence may be considered by some as being insignificant and unimportant. But similar gestures are being made in many other small, and often large, cities around the world. Cumulatively, the impact is certain to be forceful.

The promotion, in this way, of a peaceful outcome to the intolerable and deadly conflict in the middle east will be welcomed by most people. But some audiencemembers question the appropriateness of boycotting a group of musicians—even for such a worthy cause as middle eastern peace—on the grounds that music itself is a medium for the promotion of peace, and that musicians, generally, are not active participants in inter-communal conflicts.

In the particular case of the Jerusalem Quartet, however, the Jewish News has referred to the players as “Distinguished Musicians, performing for [Israeli] troops” and has reported that “for three [of the players], carrying a rifle in one hand and a violin in the other is the ultimate Zionist statement”.

Even if the players were not complicit in the military ambitions of the Israeli state in this way, the boycott of their Adelaide concert would be justified on the basis that they represent the state of Israel in Australia, that they are promoted by Israel as its cultural ambassadors, and that a statement of disapproval of Israel’s implacability needs to be made by peace-loving individuals. By avoiding taking even moderate action against Israel, the danger persists that such abstinence will demonstrate approval for the country’s actions.

Perhaps some Adelaidians will want to offer such support. Entitled as they are so to do, a worthier action would be for them to seek to persuade music authorities to bring to Adelaide the West-Eastern Divan orchestra. Founded by the Israeli conductor, Daniel Barenboim, this well-regarded youth orchestra comprises musicians from a range of middle eastern countries, including Israelis and Palestinians. Barenboim has said that the orchestra “was conceived as a project against ignorance” and as a “platform where the two sides can disagree and not resort to knives”.

With its laudable aims and talented performers, this orchestra, which includes two players from the Jerusalem Quartet, would be warmly welcomed by Adelaide audiences. By contrast, a performance by the Jerusalem Quartet will not be so welcomed, representing, as it does, an oppressive state, with disreputable and unjust ambitions.

Accordingly, all peace-loving admirers of quality music should stay away from November’s concert in Adelaide. Similar demonstrations of disapproval were invoked against the Quartet in London in August this year and at the Edinburgh Festival last year. Adelaide audiences have an immediate opportunity to join the international movement of protest.

^^just a little something...while revising for the exam^^

- They boycott the performance (and Adelaide's the State of Festivals!)..

- They even boycott Israeli products..

Do U??

If you're still eating McD and Maggi, drinking Coca-Cola and Fanta, using Johnson & Johnson, shopping at Carrefour and Tesco!! Then you're a supporter of the Israeli Apartheid!! (so no.. I definitely won't say congratulations!!)

I have so many things to say to you... but I think that'll be a waste of time.. I might as well just leave you be (but I hope you feel ashamed of yourself and STOP being a supporter; n only then will I salute you) and go back to my study....

Take care and have a wonderful life~

Antara michael jackson & marwa al-sharbini

Sedih. Miris. Itulah yang saya rasakan ketika melihat tayangan pemakaman the King of Pop, Michael Jackson yang begitu gegap gempita di televisi-televisi kita sepanjang hari kemarin. Beberapa stasiun tv bahkan bela-belain menayangkan tayangan eksklusif langsung dari AS acara penghormatan terakhir bagi si Raja Musik Pop sampai pagi ! Dan entah berapa juta mata masyarakat Indonesia yang rela menahan kantuk demi menyaksikan acara itu.

Saya sedih, bukan karena kematian MJ yang dipuja jutaan orang di dunia. Tapi saya sedih, karena pada saat yang sama, berlangsung pemakaman seorang muslimah yang Insya Allah menjadi seorang syahidah karena mempertahankan jilbabnya. Marwa Al-Sharbini, seorang ibu satu anak yang sedang mengandung tiga bulan, wafat akibat ditikam sebanyak 18 kali oleh seorang pemuda Jerman keturunan Rusia yang anti-Islam dan anti-Muslim. Tapi berita ini, sama sekali tidak saya temukan di televisi-televisi Indonesia, negara yang mayoritas penduduknya Muslim, bahkan mungkin, tak banyak dari kita yang tahu akan peristiwa yang menimpa Marwa.

Ribuan orang di Mesir yang mengantar jenazah Marwa ke tempat peristirahatannya yang terakhir, memang tidak sebanyak orang yang menangisi kepergian Michael Jackson. Marwa hanya seorang ibu dan bukan superstar seperti MJ. Tapi kepergian Marwa adalah lambang jihad seorang muslim. Marwa mempertahankan harga dirinya sebagai seorang Muslimah yang mematuhi ajaran agamanya meski untuk itu ia kehilangan nyawanya.

Marwa ditikam di ruang sidang kota Dresden, Jerman saat akan memberikan kesaksian atas kasusnya. Ia mengadukan sorang pemuda Jerman bernama Alex W yang kerap menyebutnya “teroris” hanya karena ia mengenakan jilbab. Dalam suatu kesempatan, pemuda itu bahkan pernah menyerang Marwa dan berusaha melepas jilbab Muslimah asal Mesir itu. Di persidangan itulah, Alex kembali menyerang Marwa, kali ini ia menikam Marwa berkali-kali. Suami Marwa yang berusaha melindungi isterinya, malah terkena tembakan kaparat keamanan pengadilan yang berdalih tak sengaja menembak suami Marwa yang kini dalam kondisi kritis di rumah sakit Dresden.

Peristiwa ini sepi dari pemberitaan di media massa Jerman dan mungkin dari pemberitaan media massa asing dunia karena yang menjadi korban adalah seorang muslimah yang dibunuh oleh orang Barat yang anti-Islam dan anti-Muslim. Situasinya mungkin akan berbeda jika yang menjadi korban adalah satu orang Jerman atau orang Barat yang dibunuh oleh seorang ektrimis Islam. Beritanya dipastikan akan gempar dan mendunia.

Itulah sebabnya, mengapa di tv-tv kita kemarin cuma dijejali dengan pemberitaan seputar pemakaman Michael Jackson yang mengharu biru itu. Tak ada berita pemakaman syahidah Marwa Al-Sharbini yang mendapat sebutan “Pahlawan Jilbab”. Tak ada protes dunia Islam atas kematiannya. Tak ada tangis kaum muslimin dunia untuknya. Tapi tak mengapa Marwa … karena engkau akan mendapatkan tempat yang paling mulia di sisiNya. Seiring doa dari orang-orang yang mencintaimu. Selamat jalan saudariku, maafkan kami jika kurang peduli …

"Dr. Marwa Al-Sarbini, a medica doctor and a pharmaceutical stab 18 times by a jobless in front of the judge in the court room in Germany. His husband was shot by police for protecting her".

Untold Story of a Pregnant Muslim Woman Killed in a German Courtroom
Extracts from a facebook group dedicated to her.

…Today I will tell u the story of an honoured woman who was proud of her religion to such an extent that she had to give away her life for that. Her name is Dr. Marwa Al Sharbini. She was 32 years old, 3 months pregnant Egyptian woman and a pharmaceutical. She lived in Germany She was married and she had a cute son aged 3 years. She was stabbed 18 times by a German in the courtroom. This incident happened in 1st of July in Dresdane of Germany.

The beginning of this was less than 1 year ago when her son was playing in park and a 28 years old unemployed German named Alex stopped her son. So she went ahead to defend her son. Alex then called her terrorist and tried to remove her hijab forcefully. She filed a lawsuit before German courts.

Alex was fined 750 euros in compensation. Alex wanted to take revenge. so he appealed in court and in the court he stabbed sister Marwa 18 times in front of Judge and police. when her husband went ahead to protect ahead, the police shot her husband instead of that savage(Alex). She became Shaheedah(Martyr) and her husband’s situation is now critical.

This happened in one of the civilized(!) countries of the west where an oppressed justice seeker woman gets killed in the courtroom because of representing her belief.

Unfortunately this incident couldn’t gain the needed value to be presented in BBC, CNN, ABC, Fox News and all other western media(!). The double standard of western media has been exposed by this. I request my brothers to take lessons from this incident and to wake up. I also request my sisters to take lessons from her and to firm your faith like her. We will never forget u, our sister. You will remain our inspiration in the way our struggle.

- In the memory of Shaheedatul Hijab (Martyr of Hijab) Sister Marwa Al Sharbini
Somewhere under all the other important stories like the real father of MJ’s daughter and story of a small ice ball falling from a plane. I managed to find this: Pregnant Muslim Woman Killed in German Courtroom

It’s worth remembering how the Dubai court was criticised for arresting those two British for having sex on the beach. Remember all the TV channels, newspaper headlines, so I guess the story of two law disobeying people is far more important than killing of an innocent pregnant Muslim woman. Talk about double standard.

Alhamdulillah.. after more than 15 days, akhirnya kami 'pulang' ke Adelaide~
Kami selamat sampai di Tranmere at 11.39 pm (waktu Melbourne) or 11.09 pm (waktu Adelaide)^^

Setelah menjelajah bumi Newcastle (seminggu), Sydney (2 hari), Canberra (skejap je..tak masuk city pon), dan Melbourne (5 hari), rase sangat kenyang dgn bekalan2 yg telah 'dimakan'... *yummy*

Jadi, untuk mengelak dari terhasilnya 'lemak & kolestrol' yg 'membunuh', badan ni kena lah 'bersenam' supaya diri sihat, dan bermanfaat untuk orang lain.. *jia you*

Okeh, kalau nk share experience yg best2 mmg ade.. tp tak pandai la pulak nk ku ungkapkan dgn kata2.. mungkin gmbr lebih clear?

On second thought, maybe boleh tggu video di upload kut.. *hehehe*

p.s. Seronok bace blog2 orang lain yg banyak 'coretan' dan 'nasihat' ^^

p.p.s. Rindu my 'multimedia time'... *sigh*

:: I Know Something BIG ::

2009-07-08T18:26:00.004+09:30

Bismillah...

Even though I have no talent in 'writing' and 'talking'...
I still want to share what I know..

because knowing this without sharing it, is like the saying:
"water that doesn't flow" and this isn't a good thing!
(ini adalah translation kpd "air yg tak mengalir" or "air yg bertakung",)

The BIG thing that I know is:

ISLAM is a VERB

So if you have a 'muslim' name (or so people say), but you DON'T DO Islam;
then you're NOT IN Islam...

And even though you don't have the so-called 'islamic' name, but you DO Islam;
then you're IN Islam...

and although your identity card says your religion is Islam, but you DON'T DO Islam;
then you're NOT IN Islam...

and even if you 'think' you're a muslim, but you DON'T DO Islam;
then you're NOT IN Islam...

so...
for you to be IN Islam...
you need and must and have and got to DO Islam...

How to DO it?
You need and must and have and got to LEARN Islam...

Remember when Thufail bin 'Amru came to Mecca and he covered his ears with cloth because he was afraid that he would hear the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reciting the Qur'an?

And then he said to himself; "why do I have to cover my ears, not hearing what he says, when I CAN listen and think... I can take what is good, and leave what is not.."

And so he uncovered his ears and find the recitations of sura Al-Ikhlas and Al-Falaq enciting!
Praise be to Allah... he was one of the great sahabah ^__^

So let us 'uncover' our ears.. open our eyes and heart~
and insya-Allah we won't miss the good things in life...

Abdul Qadir Audah

Dakwah ini adalah kepunyaan Allah bukannya individu..

Allah telah mengajar orang-orang beriman bahawa da'wah

terikat dengan kehendakNya bukan kepada para du'at;

nasib setiap individu daripada da'wah ialah sesiapa yang beramal

untuknya maka Allah akan memuliakannya dengan sebab amalnya;

sesiapa yang meninggalkan beramal untuk da'wah maka Allah

akan menjauhkan kebaikan daripadanya dan da'wah tidak

akan mendapat mudharat sedikitpun..

a little brain teaser :)

Your Annual Dementia Test

It's that time of year to take our annual senior citizen test.. Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important to keep mentally alert. If you don't use it, you lose it! *hmm..*
Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence *hahaha*. Take the test presented here to determine if you're losing it or not *laughing -- with tears in me eyes*.
Don't see the answers until you've made your answer.

OK, relax, clear your mind and begin.

1.. What do you put in a toaster?

Answer: 'bread.' If you said 'toast,' give up now and do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, bread, go to Question 2.

2. Say 'silk' five times.. Now spell 'silk.' What do cows drink?

Answer: Cows drink water. If you said 'milk,' don't attempt the next question. Your brain is over-stressed and may even overheat. Content yourself with reading a more appropriate literature such as Auto World. However, if you said 'water', proceed to question 3

3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a green house made from?

Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said 'green bricks,' why the hell are you still reading these??? If you said 'glass,' go on to Question 4

4. It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany .) Anyway, during the flight, two engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of 'no man's land' between East Germany and West Germany . Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany, West Germany , or no man's land'?

Answer: You don't bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you're a dunce and you must stop. If you said, 'You don't bury survivors', proceed to the next question.

5. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales . In London , 17 people get on the bus. In Reading , six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon , two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff , 1 1 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea , three people get off and five people get on . In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver?

Answer: Oh, for crying out loud! Don't you re member your own name? It was YOU!!

PS: 95% of people fail most of the questions!!

Afrah,

p.s. Intelligence and Personality is a very complicated and complex study in psychology.. all the tests that you have ever done (especially on the internet) that linked with these fields are not 'fixed'... because it's not that simple.. you may score high (or low) but it doesn't determine anything (unless you want to determine it yourself)..my advice, don't depend on them entirely.. remember, we as individuals are different from each other.. all I can say is *Subhanallah*

Assalamualaikum and good day everyone.

Excerpts from the opening speech by Dr isam al-Bashir

1. On the Gaza attack, most of the Arabic governments has remain silence – a shameful act.
2.They should have done something like when they promptly acted when something happened to other countries.
3.We are here to show our endless support to the Palestinian.
4.We are standing here today to state in clear terms that we are against the aggressor.
5. We don’t want just speeches and words because they will be forgotten.
6.We have to translate them into strategic plannings and projects to change the realities in gaza and Palestine in general.

Assalamualaikum and very good day to everyone.

One of the speaker invited is Syeikh Raid Salah - the person who revealed the tunneling activities of the zionist as part of the sinister plan to destroy the al Aqsa mosque in Baitul Maqdis (Jerusalem)

1. After 61 years the zionist did not stop the killing.
2. In the last attack on Gaza the Zionist killed more than 1,312 person including 410 children.
3.They didn’t hesitate to destroy mosques, schools and houses.
4. This is the real face of the Zionist.
5. If there is justice in the political world, the Zionist is equal to the Nazis.
6. In fact they are much worse. They have committed hundreds of holocaust.
7. But the Palestinian people will not give up and they will continue to resist this terrible holocaoust.
8. The Palestinian will continue the struggle even if everyone support the Zionists.
9. We can stop the injustice. he is making sure that our voices (the voices of the free world) will be heard. The occupation of al Quds must end.
10. Netanyahu is demanding that the Palestinian people must not return. This is the most important issue need to be addressed (the rights of the Palestinian people to return to their homeland).
11. Establishing Baitul Maqdis as the capital of Palestine is important.
12. The solution to the conflict is not by just removing the illegal jewish settlements (built on stolen Palestinian lands) but to end all the occupation.
13 We all are (including the Jewish people) are having a hard time with the Zionist.
14. We hope the Egyptian government will open the crossing at Rafah.
15. We are demanding for the world to stop the economic relations with Israel.
16. We must work together very hard to save al Quds from the destruction.
17. We must be ready to answer God on this issue when we meet Him.

Assalamualaikum and greetings everyone.

As-Syeikh Dr Yusuf al Qardhawi, a prominent scholar and reference for muslims the world over on contemporary issues was at the conference to deliver his key-note speech.

Excerpts of his speech.

1. As-Syeikh began by praising Allah and salutations to the Prophet Muhammad SAW.
2. He greets brothers and sisters and everyone attending the conference with the peace greeting in Islam..
3. Thankful to Allah for the effort put together by everyone to make this gathering possible.
4.Thankful for everyone that comes from all over the world to be in the blessed conference.
5. This conference is held from this city (Istanbul), the city of the heavens, the gardens, the mosque, the city of the history of the muslims.
6. We came to express our lasting support for Palestine.
7. When we protect Baitl Maqdis, than Allah will protect His holyland.
8. People says leave Baitul Maqdis to Allah, He will protect the holy land.
9. We will not do as Abdul Mutalib did when he left Kaabah to Allah, when Mekah came under the attack of abrahah.
10. Abdul Mutalib did not have anyone to protect al Kaabah., but here we have the muslim nations. We have one and a half billion muslims to protect al Aqsa..
11. These nations and these people are responsible to look after al Aqsa..
12. Allah says, it is OUR rights to give victory to the believers - by the believers (by their own action)
13. Victory is only for those who have the strongest belief.
14. We have to be together in one saff (line). As-Syeikh recited a verse from surah as-Saff. (Quran). We need to support each other as one body.
15. People from east to west will lend their support. At this juncture as-Syeikh express his gratitude to the Sweidsh professor, Dr Mattias Gardell from Uppsala University for addressing the conference earlier.
16.Muslims do not want to create enemies with anyone. Muslims will not enter into war with anyone. But when war is forced unto this nation, than everyone must stand to defend their homeland. The people must put up resistance.
17. Many young people from every corner of the world wrote to as Syeikh, asking permission to go and fight alongside the Palestinian, but they were stopped by their own country, that stood between them and the holy land.
18. Therefore the resistance must contineu inside Palestine with support from everyone.
19. Without resistance (intifadhah) Israel will not give anything back.
20. The resistance is the only way, for freedom is only achievable by resistance.
21. The people of palestine have the greatest tolerance and presevere with great patience.
22. HAMAS is the testimony to the whole world that they will continue to resist as a people with enduring patience.
23. At the same time, unity and reconciliation (among the Palestinians) is important.
24. This nation (palestine) will not be victorious if we are separated.
25. We must stand as one hand.
26. Reconciliation and unity is possible but it must be (based) on justice and (with the aim) of protecting the Palestinian rights (not a sell-off of Palestinian rights).
27. Jerusalem (Baitul Maqdis) must remain as the capital of Palestine.
28. Our help is not a contribution - it is an obligation, a responsibility (we must not shirk)
29. We have to support the resistance through financial means.
30. We (The muslim government) must sever our relationship with Israel.
31. If Israel stays, it will spell the end of the whole world

I did'nt manage to jot down most of the words of wisdom that flowed from the lips of as-Syeikh Yusuf al Qardhawi. To be in the audience addressed by the great scholar is in itself a very great blessings from Allah. We prayed our Jumaah prayer with as-Syeikh as the khatib (addressing the congregation). It was delivered in Arabic. I didn't know Arabic, but he stressed in his khutbah many times, that we are one ummah (one nation). May Allah blessed as Syeikh Dr Yusuf al Qardhawi with good health so that he can continue to serve as a beacon for this ummah. Ameen Ya Rabb. (I could not help but shed my tears here - I read his books since my teenage years, deriving great inspirations from the great scholar, at the age of 47, with a compromised health, I was bestowed this opportunity to hear from the syeikh himself in this land of Istanbul, that use to be the seat of the last Islamic Chaliphate.Oh Allah, gather us all in your gardens, if our deeds are not sufficient for us to be in the company of the righteous, than please accept our love towards the righteous to make up for our shortfalls...)

Assalamualaikum and greetings everyone.

During the conference, a speech from a Palestinian Priest was broadcasted via videoconference. These are some of the points that I managed to jot down. (I have to verify, I think he is Father Emmanuel Musellem)

1. He thanks the Turkish government for hosting the conference.
2. Thanking everyone for the effort to liberate the holy land.
3. He is the voice from the Palestinian Christians.
4. The world has closed their eyes to the cries of the children of palestine.
5. The world which is supposed to stand by peace instead support Israeli war.
6.We are seeing an unacceptable silence in the whole world.
7. Isn't the Palestinian people deserve true lives? (just like everyone else).
8. Our churches here in Palestine were destroyed by Israel.
9. The Christians flee from their homes, from the siege, NOT FROM THE MUSLIMS! (he stressed)
10. We suffered together with the muslims, NOT FROM THE MUSLIMS!
11. He called all the churches of the world, we are afraid our churches in palestine will turn to ruins.
12. We are afraid that our place of worshipped is being desecrated by the zionists.
13. We will fight as Christians together with our muslim brothers.
14. The whole world must see what happened in palestine. (If you close your eyes), your hands will be as bloodied as the zionists.
15. This is 'the flu' of Israel (in the light of infleunza A H1N1 virus).
16. Help us put this 'wolf' (Israel) in the zoo (restrain him).
17. We have suffered a lot from the war started by Israel
18. Open your eyes to our wounds. Tell us how to forgive them?
19. We are facing Israel that is very happy to make Palestinian suffer.
20. They will invade our churches and our holyland.
21. Israel is the only country who's using religion and democracy to invade other countries.

9. Countries who remain silence - they will have to answer to their conscience.
10. The result of the election of 2006 must be elected.
11. HAMAS should be accepted as the legitimate ruling party.
12. We must support the outcome of the election.

Assalamualaikum and good day every one.

writing from Istanbul, thankful to Allah being given this opportunity to attend this event on Palestine.

One of the invited speaker is Mattias Gardell, a Prof from the Dept of the History of Religions, Uppsala University, Sweden. These are some of the points from his speech.

1. Personally, the Palestine tragedy is a sad thing because it has been going on for the whole of his life.
2. What happened in Gaza is not a natural disaster, but it's man-made.
3. He calls it 'the criminal siege' that transform Gaza into the biggest open air prison on earth.
4. It is a criminal act committed by Israel.
5. and this criminal act is committed in broad day light. He cited the example of Israeli attack on the UN office in Gaza on the day Ban Ki Moon, the UN Sec-Gen paid his visit to Gaza.
6. He is ashamed of his own government, the Swedish Governement. In fact many European government participated in this crime committed by Israel.
7. But he wants to assure everyone that these governments do not represent the Swedsih people and the people of Europe.
8. There are so many ordinary European citizens wanting to help the Palestinian people
9. The european people will not stand by and watch when international law is violated by Israel

This is exactly what I've been 'learning' all this semester..
And this is what I face as "culture shock"..
*it's not really culture..much more to belief..oh well..*

If you're doing science: psychology, physics, chem, medic etc...
This might be 'useful' for you to muhasabah(em..to reflect) yourself..
And pray to Allah that we won't be like them who accept 'science as religion'..

Just as an intro:
What we learned aren't always as innocent as we thought..
And sometimes, it shocked our poor innocent hearts 'to the core' ^__^

But every moment, I thank Allah~
for giving me Islam to embrace..
for giving me faith to believe..
for giving me hope to survive..
for giving me an 'aql to think..
for giving me a 'heart' to understand..
for giving me family and friends to help...

Thank You ALLAH ^__^

I'll only put some quotes..
Hmm..enjoy(?) *chuckle*

At a recent scientific conference at City College of New York, a student in the audience rose to ask the panelists an unexpected question: "Can you be a good scientist and believe in God?" Reaction from one of the panelists, all Nobel aureates, was quick and sharp. "No!" declared Herbert A. Hauptman, who shared the chemistry prize in 1985 for his work on the structure of crystals.

Belief in the supernatural, especially belief in God, is not only incompatible with good science, Dr. Hauptman declared, "this kind of belief is damaging to the well-being of the human race."

As scientists compare human genes with those of other mammals, tiny worms, even bacteria, the similarities "are absolutely compelling," Dr. Collins said. "If Darwin had tried to imagine a way to prove his theory, he could not have come up with something better, except maybe a time machine. Asking somebody to reject all of that in order to prove that they really do love God - what a horrible choice."

In any event, he added, "the experience of being a scientist makes religion seem fairly irrelevant," he said. "Most scientists I know simply don't think about it very much. They don't think about religion enough to qualify as practicing atheists." Most scientists he knows who do believe in God, he added, believe in "a God who is behind the laws of nature but who is not interving."

But Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary theorist at Oxford, said that even scientists who were believers did not claim evidence for that belief. "The most they will claim is that there is no evidence against," Dr. Dawkins said, "which is athetically weak. There is no evidence against all sorts of things, but we don't waste our time believing in them."

Conclusion:
As said in the article, not all scientists are non-believers (about 40% do believe in God)... So let us all be good scientists who believe and obey our God.. remember, 'science is only a tool' to get more rewards(thanx alia!hehe=).. our goal is the Akhirat ^__^

:: Seriously Serious ::

2009-05-09T10:07:00.003+09:30

Bismillah..

Person A: I'm not a 'serious' person..

Person B: I'm not a 'serious' Muslim..

Question 1: Are you a 'serious' person?

Me: Well........ *thinking really hard* If you meant the 'uptight' kinda person....... *long pause* I don't think I am... *i beg you to leave it there, okay? *

Question 2: Are you a 'serious' Muslim?

Me: Yes... I'm a pretty (haha) serious Muslim... I am...

Insha Allah:

I'm serious...
... with my belief..
... with my worship to Allah..
... with wearing my hijab (to obey Allah)
... with my studying (for the sake of Allah)..
... with my good deeds (for the sake of Allah)..
... with my prayers five times a day (to obey Allah)..
... with my du'a (to seek Allah, and only Him)..
... with smiling (to add my good deeds)..
... with writing (for the sake of Allah)..
... with spreading the truth (to uplift my worthiness to Allah)..
... with everything in my life (to strive towards His Jannah)..

So yes.. I think I'm seriously a serious Muslim..

Depends on one's perspective..
but I take my identity as a Muslim seriously..
because I know that every eyes around me sees me as a female-Muslim practicing Islam, and judge me by that.. and even if they don't; then I judge myself by that..

because above all, my Lord sees me as a worthy by my 'seriousness' in my devotion..

That's all from seriously serious,
Me

p.s. I can also be seriously 'weak and limp' when I'm not serious..

p.p.s. That's a lot of the word 'serious' in one post..huhu..

Bismillah...

Rasanya dah lama sangat diri ni menyepi psl Palestin..
Masa Gaza diserang akhir tahun lepas, Wafiyah selamat dilahirkan *Alhamdulillah*
Rasa pilu yg amat sgt bila mengenangkan kesakitan yg mereka rasa..
Rasa geram *gile* bila terserempak dgn penipuan Israel durjana!

Rasa bersyukur bila diri ini masih diberi peluang oleh Allah utk 'sedar' dan tidak tercicir dalam usaha memperjuangkan keadilan dan kehormatan saudara-saudara di sana *Terima kasih Ya Allah*

Usaha kita mesti istiqomah:

+ DOA dan DOA dan DOA!! (yg ni plg senang..tp org plg malas nk amalkan)

+ BOIKOT dan BOIKOT dan BOIKOT!! (yg ni sgt berkesan..jadi stop la beli brg2 kat Tesco tuh!! Malaysia plg byk Tesco... jangan jadi sponsor peluru Israel..fikir dulu sbelum beli..ke mana pergi duit kite tuh nnt..sbelum mkn burger McD, bayangkan la daging tu daging org Palestin, sos tu darah mereka yg terpercik...kalau korang masih sanggup mkn brg2 Israel tu, syaitan mmg suka sgt la~)

+ CERITA dan CERITA dan CERITA!! (yg ni, kalau tulis dlm blog pun dh sgt bagus..menambah semangat dan knowledge org ramai insyaAllah..jia you!!)

ISRAEL PENIPU

Jangan bila TV tayang berita Gaza baru kita pon semangat...
Usaha kena istiqomah~ MESTI sampai Palestin menang...
mesti sampai hujung nyawa, mesti sampai titIsan darah terakhir..
Allahu Akbar!! ^__^

Hmm... hari ni surf through the Muslim singers...
Terasa indah bila dengar lirik diorang ^__^

Yusuf Islam - Heaven (Where True Love Goes) (2006)

*from what i understand (and if i'm wrong, please correct me), this song is the new version of his song Heaven (released in 1973) when he was Cat Stevens ^__^ (lagu ni diubahsuai dgn sgt cantik..)

**kalau nk tgk music video: klik sini :)

My Mum is Amazing

This was (and still is) one of my favourite songs.. Naadira Ali sings this beautiful song written by Zain Bhikha... I cry every time I hear this song ^__^

Can't U See

*This is an ANTI-DRUGS song.. performed by Rashid Bhikha, written by Abd Maleek (Native Deen)... It reminds me to always keep do'a for my brothers and sisters (family + ummah).. May us all be free from the terrible drugs... so guys (and girls), keep away from drugs... and stop smoking!!

Dedication

It's from Native Deen.. I love their songs the first time I heard them ;D

*and this video clip is so cute I couldn't resist to post it here... thanks SeekerOfMore ^__^

Muslim Rap

It's rap.. it's kinda loud~ but it's creative and I like hearing the language ^__^
It SOUNDS different, but it FEELS the same ;D

Bismillah...

Alhamdulillah semalam akhirnye berkesempatan jugak crite pasal 'afraid of me' and the 'should have said something'... ^__^

Tadi tengok blog Nazirah, my old classmate masa Al-Amin dulu n skrg tgh study kat US (tgk blog Nazirah sbb dia comment post sbelum ni..thanks :D huhu..nmpk sgt jarang tgk2 blog orang)

And I watched this video...
The message is just that:
"Muslims are human too... We do the same things as other people... We like music, clothes, actors, shopping, watching TV series, movies etc... We have feelings.. We fall in love... We quarrel with our siblings... but we believe in One God... we pray 5 times a day... we're believed to do good things, meaningful stuff.. but we make mistakes.. and we are sometimes ignorant to the teachings of Islam... but we are to learn, to know, and to understand... (though we sometimes forgot what we've learned)... and we have the same aim in life: to seek a land called Paradise.."

Enjoy! ^__^

:: Are You Afraid of the Muslims? ::

2009-04-02T17:59:00.008+10:30

Bismillah...

I've been wanting to write this for a long time ^__^

Just like I've said before, sem ni amek this very interesting Linguistic subject as an elective: 'Cross-cultural Communication'...

Ape yg bestnye blaja bende ni? Well... tak mcm psikologi, subject ni byk sentuh 'perceived reality' berbanding 'theory'..

Sbb bende ni based on 'culture', xde teori yg blh dikatakn 'tepat sgt'... So, blh kata bile masuk lecture, it's more interactive.. students akan speak up their opinion, and theory dlm buku akan di'argue' bersama...

Well, lecture ni became 'intensely' interesting last week and this week..
It all started with a question: "We still stereotyping on Muslims...Many of us are still afraid of Muslims...there isn't much of a change even nowadays, right?"

Answer: " ......... er---.......... yeah............."

Starting from that moment, everything mcm suddenly changed.. I suddenly became aware that on that day, I 'could' be the only Muslim female in class... biasenye ade 2 other Muslim females from S'pore and Indon... tp nk jd crite, hr tu diorang dua tak masuk klas...

Mula dgn soalan tu, terbuka la crite psl ape yg diorg 'fikir' n 'tahu' psl muslim etc..
All the 'bombing', 'violence' and 'terrorism'... how typical-- ^__^

So I was like: "are they afraid of me?"
well... class hr tu mcm sgt 'awkward'... but the discussion went on, as if I was invisible..
well...not really... people kept glancing and peeking at me (or so I thought..maybe it was just my imagination...huhu..)

anyway, I was like: "should I say something? should I say something? what should I say?"
I think I nearly panicked..
nah-- not really... but I really should have said something, shouldn't I?
I think everyone expected me to say something...but maybe they don't,cos they're afraid of me?
What's more important is: I don't know if I want to say anything...
It was so confusing...
I was battling with my inner-self...and the day went on in a blur...

It's really weird..
Because sblm ni I always remind myself not to think that they're afraid of me..
Tp bila dgr diorang jawab "...yeah..."
Terus mcm naik this 'dinding perisai'... my defense mechanism ^__^

In the same lecture, after my lecturer hbs session die, ade satu lg sesi...
It was an aboriginal woman presenting a talk about aboriginals and indigenous Australians...

And she said:
"I respect this woman (and she pointed her hands towards me) for wearing a veil... for practising her belief... and I respect that she's a Muslim."

I guess she felt the intensity of the previous discussion...
I was glad that she said that... At least then, I know that not everyone is afraid of me (Muslims)...
And again, I was like: "I should have said something..." ^__^

I don't know..
Maybe if you were in my place, you would have said something...

But I didn't...

And even if I did...
I don't know what I would have said...

What should I say?

And just so you know...
I think it's only the beginning...
There's going to be more to come of this kind of discussion...

Is silence the best thing?
Or saying something is better?

I still think that I should have said something...
but I'm still kinda glad I didn't say anything...
but saying something might have been better...

Yep...
it's my conscience (is this the right spelling?)..

I don't like people thinking bad of me..
but I don't like it more when they think bad of the Muslims...

but that's the real world..
welcome to the real life~

to end this,
I would just like to say sorry for wasting your time with the 'should have said something'.. You must be bored and confused... sorry ^__^

Cheers,
Afrah ;D

"I should have said something.. or should I?"
No...I should stop questioning about it...
I can't change the past..
But I can be ready of the future..

^__^

إِنَّ اللَّهَ اشْتَرَىٰ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ ۚ يُقَاتِلُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ وَيُقْتَلُونَ ۖ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْقُرْآنِ ۚ وَمَنْ أَوْفَىٰ بِعَهْدِهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ ۚ فَاسْتَبْشِرُوا بِبَيْعِكُمُ الَّذِي بَايَعْتُمْ بِهِ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ الْفَوْزُ الْعَظِيمُ
(سورة التوبة)

" Surely Allah has bought of the believers their persons and their property for this, that they shall have the Garden; they fight in Allah's way, so they slay and are slain; a promise which is binding on Him in the Taurat and the Injeel and the Quran; and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? Rejoice therefore in the pledge which you have made; and that is the mighty achievement. "

(Translation by Shakir)

" Sesungguhnya Allah telah membeli dari orang-orang mukmin, diri dan harta mereka dengan memberikan syurga untuk mereka. Mereka berperang pada jalan Allah, lalu mereka membunuh atau terbunuh. (Itu telah menjadi) janji yang benar dari Allah di dalam Taurah, Injil dan Al-Quran. Dan siapakan yang telah menepati janjinya (selain) daripada Allah? Maka bergembiralah dengan jual beli yang telah kamu lakukan itu, dan itulah kemenangan yang sebenar. "

(At-Taubah: 111)

Hari ni baca post from one of my sahabat about the above ayat; reminding us about the wonderful reason to continue our smiling ^__^

Yup, sejak kelas dah start ni, byk stuff yg kne cope and handle.. and sometimes when I was juggling it all, I fear that something will drop.. it has only been 3 weeks of classes.. yet I keep fretting; when's the reality going to finally creep in? huhu *bad me*

Life in Adelaide has been unexpectable.. exciting, yes.. but certainly unpredictable...

Everytime something good comes up, the 'not-so-good' one comes along not long after..
or maybe it's the other way round? that when 'not-so-good' things happened, the good ones cover it all? huhu.. *it's a matter of perception, because some say: we see what we want to see* ^__^

Either way, it does keep us on the thread.. it is a blessing in one way or another.. coz praise be to Allah, everything that's been going on is like a 'calling' to remind us of Him... for us to be extra-syukur.. and extra-sabar... there's absolutely some lesson to be learned from every tiny little thing... that's what life is about...

Interestingly, my lecturer in Cross-Cultural Communication asked us to fill in the blank: "Life is ________" There were many answers given, but one I like the most is: "Life is a journey" ;D (simple yet meaningful)

This semester, I'm studying 3 Psych. subjects & 1 elective:
1. Psychology, Ideas & Action
2. Psychology in Society: Advanced
3. Individual Differences, Personality & Assessment
4. Cross-Cultural Communication (Linguistic subject)

So yes...they're all very interesting...

However, it's already very very late...
so I can't really share the incredibly interesting stuff right now..
besides, I need to actually open my books and study..
I have tutorials tomorrow (discussions!!! ay!!)
and juz so u know: tomorrow's schedule is packed~

But I also really need to write all these..
So that now... I can finally sleep (I'll open the books tomorrow morning..but that'll be too late *sigh*)

ops...wafi's crying..
that's my cue to go now..

"It takes someone to believe to understand"

all in all, syukur sangat pd Allah... dlm hidup ni memangla kita merancang, tapi Allah perancang terbaik.. Dan setiap perancangan Allah tu ada hikmahnya; apa yang penting, kita kena sentiasa bersyukur...

Teringat kata-kata kak azida (masa usrah post-grad Adelaide) tentang Qada' dan Qadar; "Qada' dan Qadar are fixed. Both are planned and controlled by Allah.. but He gives us one medium; the respond to His plan.."

Yup.. Allah dah plan semua hidup kita, and only He can control it; our past, present and future.. Lalu ada lah org yg sibuk2 tanye: "then ape gunenye kita berusaha?"

Sebab tu lah timbulnya golongan Qadariah yg 'mempasrahkan' diri.. kononnya segala apa yg dibuat, termasuk dosa, adalah 'takdir' Allah...

Ada lah cerita masa zaman saidina Umar dulu, tertangkap seorang pencuri. Saidina Umar pon, sebahagai hakim, tanya kenapa pencuri tu mencuri.

Lalu jawablah pencuri tu; "Telah tertulis dlm Luh Mahfuz bhw hr ini saya akn mencuri."

So, Saidina Umar pon jawablah balik; "Dan telah tertulis dlm Luh Mahfuz bhw hr ini saya akn memotong tgn awak."

Sebenarnya tak perlulah kita susah2 fikir pasal apa perancangan Allah tu.. Remember--> kat Akhirat nanti, bukan hasil yang disoalkan, tapi usaha... Usaha tu lah yang menambah pahala kita kat dunia ni... Usaha tu lah yang dikatakan 'respond' oleh kak azida...

So, sebab tu lah, we need to remind ourselves when suddenly diri terasa mcm nk persoalkan knp hidup camni---> cepat2lah istighfar... dan cepat2lah tingkatkn blk portion kesyukuran dlm diri... coz 'mempersoalkan hidup' kita bukanlah satu respond yg cemerlang....

Jia You!!

2008-12-03T03:47:00.010+10:30

Alhmdllh, dpd 3 paper, 1 paper dh kuar result (and no, I'm not sharing it with the world *grin*) However, that paper is the elective one...

So I'm still waiting for the bombs to drop (in the form of my Psych results *cringe*)

Anyway, this is a picture of my ESL II class on our last day of tute:

ah..can you see me? The girl in the blue circle *huh?*
This pic was taken by our classmate, Joey (she's a Chinese-M'sian..we're the only M'sians in class) ---> and yes, I was the only Muslim-Malay...

p.s. my usrah-mate, Balqis, also took ESL II-- but she was in another class =)

and this was my tutor, Marion White...
she's really friendly (guess how old she is?come on... *wink*)
answer: she's over 60!! (hah!nearly the age of my grandmother!)
*thus old-age is not an excuse to 'stop' or 'rest' from our JOURNEY*

^__^

:: Isi atau Kulit? ::

2008-12-01T19:42:00.008+10:30

Katakanlah --- template is kulit, update is isi...

No kulit, no isi: Confirm bankrap---
Takde kulit, isi sedap: Boleh jual lagi---
Kulit cantik, isi takde: Kejap je---
Kulit power, isi mantap: Pasti Laris---

So, memetik kata-kata hikmah dr Maya:

"alaa, tukar template tp tak update buat ape"

(lepas tu die gelak... huh)

:: Out of the Blue ::

2008-10-29T00:09:00.006+10:30

Last night...

At Swinging Bowl..
I watched Muhammad (a 6 year-old) as he finished his homework..

Out of the blue...

Muhammad: Ada anak tak?

Me (terkejut): Er-- ada.. dalam perut..

Muhammad: Bile die keluar?

Me (raised my eyebrow): Bulan Disember ni.....

Muhammad: Nanti dia dah keluar bolehla die pegi skolah ni (tunjuk kat logo baju skolah die-- Islamic College South Australia)

Me: Uhuh--

Muhammad: Tapi nanti die keluar jadi baby.. baby tak boleh pegi school.. kena tunggu die jadi org dulu..

Me: Em-- baby bukan orang ke?

Muhammad (looked straight into my eyes): Tak. Baby bukan orang (dengan confident nye!)

At last... I laughed... The conversation was really funny..
Yet so sweet-- I miss my sisters and brothers *sniff*sniff*

:: Konvo ::

2008-10-22T11:14:00.003+10:30

:: House-hunting ::

2008-10-22T10:44:00.002+10:30

Alhamdulillah, hari ni dh masuk minggu ke-3 kami house-hunting…

unit skrg yg kami duduk okey la:

- sangat dekat dgn city (bus stop no. 7 je.. kalau tertinggal bas pun, still tak lewat sgt smpi kelas…huhuhu…)

- harga $175 per week…

- tp sgt kecik, tak muat nk sumbat ramai org…

Yg dh dpt tapi terpaksa cancel:

- 1 rumah kat Kilkenny [gambar kat atas-- dekat dgn masjid..tp takde sorang pun kwn yg duduk dekat..susah!)

- 1 unit kat Prospect [mahal sgt = $190]

So skrg ni tiap2 hari:

- amek The Advetiser kat uni

- tgk ad psl houses to let and home units for rent

- gi inspection

- isi tenancy application form

- gi International Student Centre (ISC) utk guna fax free *yay*

Sape yg tolong?

- Kak Niksha ngan Kak Izzati tlg gi inspect rumah kat east hr tu..

- Kak Ili ngan Alia tlg gi inspect rumah kat Prospect...

- kwn2 kat rumah Qasrun pun jadi mangsa (blh kata everyday gi rumah diorang)

- Alia slalu teman gi inspection (Fizah pon pernah skali)

- Balqis tlg buat air Teh Prendjak (betul ke eja ye?)

- Syida bg mkn laksa halia smalam..hehehe

- Fizah masakkan lunch (nasi + ayam masak merah + sup sayur) SEDAP~

- International Student Centre bg guna fax free (best btul)... so skrg muka afrah dah dikenali staff ISC…

Harap2 blh dpt rumah yg plg best… kami ada 3 minggu sbelum di ‘kick-out’ dr rumah skrg… nasib baik landlady kitorang, Madam Frances ni baik dan sporting… so takdela pressure sgt nk pindah rumah ^__^

:: Selam ::

2008-10-21T20:16:00.009+10:30

hari tu..
aku gi menyelam..
rupenye dah 5 bulan--
lamenye~

aku masuk dalam air..
mula-mula pegi tempat cetek...
lama-lama gi yg makin dalam...

dlm air..
memang cantik...
sampai rasa seronok...
taknak naik-naik...

sebab lame sgt...
takut nk 'balik'...
nak terus menyelam...
sebolehnya nk 'menghilang'...

tp mmg tak mungkin..
nak lama-lama dalam air...
takde kawan..
cepat bosan..
nafas tak cukup panjang..
suhu tak bersesuaian..
banyak makhluk yg membahayakan...

agaknye, kalau mati pon tak perasan..

tak sangka...
dah 5 bulan--
lame kn?

2008-04-17T02:18:00.004+09:30

Ding – dong ~

Hi there… *smile*smile*

Good news to all..
Another book out…
(Mcm publisiti la pulak *hehehe*)

But this book is really ‘something’…
It’s a MUST-READ for us all..
To ‘erase’ the BIAS we had on people ‘without husbands’..

Kita selalu dgr org ckp psl jodoh..
Pasal suami..
Pasal isteri..

And kita selalu doa (especially women) taknak jadi anak dara lambat kahwin..

Tp pernah tak kita AMBIL TAHU apa perasaan dan pemikiran diorang yg lewat kahwin atau tak kahwin2 ni??
Pernah tak kita BERSANGKA BAIK dgn kondisi mereka?
Pernah tak terfikir ini salah satu UJIAN & DUGAAN Allah utk hamba2-Nya?

Apa yg kita selalu fikir bila sebut ‘anak dara tua’ (dan yg sewaktu dgnnya)??
Org yg memilih sgt?
Org yg hanya bergantung pd nasib?
Org yg tak berusaha?
Org yg tak laku?
Org yg tak pandang dunia?

Well.. i think this book reveals ‘some’ of the INSIDE of the situation..
Let us think carefully..
We always judge people without actually trying to give support or help..
So what is actually our role in this community called Ummah?
Think~

Ni sinopsis buku ‘Dunia Tanpa Suami’:

Buku ini ditulis dengan ‘hati’ supaya ada hati-hati yang lebih mengerti. Supaya ada jiwa-jiwa yang lebih menghargai. Supaya ada bibir-bibir yang lebih berhati-hati. Supaya lebih banyak insan mensyukuri.

Bagi insan yang sering menggunakan gelaran ‘andalusia’, ‘andartu’, ‘Dah expired’, ‘janda meletup’, ‘janda berhias’ dan gelaran-gelaran lain, berhati-hatilah. Barangkali ada hati yang terguris dengan kalimat-kalimat ini.

Bagi insan yang sering menuduh tanpa usul periksa, berjaga-jagalah. Jangan membuat andaian sesedap rasa. Barangkali mereka terpaksa menolak lamaran demi lamaran kerana menjaga ibu tua yang tidak berdaya.

Barangkali mereka dipinggarkan oleh insan-insan yang mengutamakan paras rupa, harta dan pangkat, kekayaan serta kemewahan. Boleh jadi mereka menjadi mangsa jerat cinta dusta. Mungkin juga mereka punya amanah menyara keluarga. Barangkali juga mereka dihambat kisah duka dan luka.

Buku ni ditulis oleh Kak Roha Hassan *thumbs up for her* =)
Diterbitkan oleh Tinta Ori..
Harganya murah je: RM 12 (Sem. M’sia) & RM 14 (Sabah/Sarawak)

Bahasa yg digunakan pon mudah je..
N apa yg istimewanya lg: dlm buku ni diselitkan jugak ‘luahan hati’ (19 koleksi kisah benar beserta tip menarik)..

Oh, n buku ni bukan utk tarik simpati!!

Kalau anda masih ragu2 utk memahami ‘dugaan’ ni..
Fikir blk: Situasi ni mungkin tak dilalui oleh anda, tp tak mustahil kalau Allah nak ‘menghadiahkan’ situasi ni pd anak cucu anda...
Jadi, bukalah hati & minda.. Fahami keadaan..
Mudah-mudahan ia menjadi ‘didikan’ (tarbiyyah) berguna dlm mendekati masyarakat..

Dan bg yg sdg menghadapi ‘ujian’ ini...
Bacalah buku ini dan anda akan dapati bahawa anda tak keseorangan..
Masih ramai yg memendam rasa mengharungi ‘ujian’ ni..
Cuma tak ramai yg berani bersuara..
Mudah-mudahan anda akan lebih yakin utk masuk ke dlm masyarakat...
Kerana setiap hamba itu mendapat kedudukan mulia di sisi Tuhannya bergantung pd TAHAP KETAKWAAN~

Slmt membaca!! (”,)

p.s. Kak Roha adalah penulis pada buku ‘Aku Ori, Bukan Fotokopi’ yg dihasilkan bersama dgn sebuah CD yg mengandungi 6 lagu-lagu hadis dan 4 tazkirah.. and also buku ‘Sentuhan Papa, Belaian Mama’..

p.p.s. BERSYUKUR lah dgn apa yg Allah pinjamkan utk kita... *sniff*sniff* (bimbangnya lupa diri dlm lautan kenikmatan)~
