Muslim Cleric Presents "Scientific" Proof that Women Cannot Talk and Remember Simultaneously

Hmmm... I did once read about this research in Dr. John Gray's Men Are from Mars many years ago. Rupanya, Al-Qur'an yang diturunkan lebih 1400 tahun yang lalu sudah awal bagi tau tani pasal ani. Allaahu akbar!

Jagalah Allah, Nescaya Allah Akan Menjagamu

Abi Hurairah RA katanya, telah bersabda Rasulullah SAW: "Sesungguhnya Allah SWT telah berfirman: 'Maka apabila Aku telah mencintainya, adalah Aku-lah yang menjadi pendengarannya yang ia mendengar dengannya, dan penglihatannya yang ia melihat dengannya, dan tangannya yang ia tamparkan dengannya, dan kakinya yang ia berjalan dengannya. Dan sesungguhnya, jika ia meminta kepada-Ku, nescaya Aku berikan kepadanya. Dan sesunggunya, jika ia memohon perlindungan kepada-Ku nescaya Aku berikan perlindungan kepadanya.'" Hadits riwayat Imam Bukhari

A great uncle mentioned this hadits last week when were on our way back home. And since then, this hadits is officially currently stuck in my head. A friend once mentioned this hadits and yeah, I did come across this hadits so many times already. And it took me many days, many months and even more than a year to realize how very powerful this hadits is. Even though that uncle shared this hadits to someone, at the same time, on the backseat, I was enjoying and observing your conversation. Whoooppss! :P

Hamas TV Drama Theodor Herzl's Negotiations with Sultan Abdul Hamid II

Watching this somehow reminds me of how our Sultan Hashim banar-banar defended Limbang from being taken by Charles Brooke. Alhamdulillah, no more lands were being taken after the signing of 1905/6 Protectorate Agreement which ended the Brooke's dream of taking more Brunei's land pasal negeri tani di bawah perlindungan British. Bila Charles Brooke menyerang Brunei would mean attacking the kingdom of Queen Elizabeth II.

And guess what, Allah blessed our country with the founding of oil after that which made Brunei the largest producer of oil in the Commonwealth nations masatu. Dari a big nation to a small four-districts nation, oil was founded. Yatah tu di sana atuuu tah banyak simpanan-simpanan minyak, sumber rezeki tani. Ada hikmahnya disebalik sesuatu kejadian ani. Nampak di sana pertolongan Allah atu. Ya Allah, how so sweet of you... :)

And I think, thanks to Sultan Sharif Ali or 'Sultan Berkat' from Taif for adding the word 'Darussalam' to our country. Did you remember salah satu ujian terbesar Rasulullah SAW adalah semasa di sana? Darussalam ani adalah salah satu nama-nama syurga. And mahal kali ahh nama syurga ani. Penduduk-penduduknya pun mesti ada ciri-ciri penghuni-penghuni syurga? Don't cha think so?

Look at Aceh Darussalam (note the word 'Darussalam'), they are blessed with large reserves of oil too. Same goes with Kelantan. Same goes with Saudi Arabia, it has the largest reserve of oil in the world. Well, we all know what happened here in the past. ;) Same goes with Palestine! The best quality of zaitun (olive oil) comes from here. 'Wattiini waz zaituun~' - Surah At-Tin, ayat 1

My point is, berkat bahh negeri-negeri ani. tinggal disyukuri dengan lebih dan lebih banyak lagi and difully utilised and optimised efficiently lagi the resources ani. Makin tani jauh dari Allah dan Islam, ada kemungkinan nikmat ani akan kena tarik, na'udzubillah. Cemana tah Allah kan tulung bila tani banyak dusa dan maksiat?

The semangat of our Sultans should be passed down to our next generations! When you read further about of how semangat Sultan Hashim defended Limbang, even though, yeah, we lost Limbang, you would cry. Okay, I guess I should stop!

I think I miss teaching history in this month of school holiday. ;)

Takutlah Kepada Allah!

When I arrived home about almost one hour ago, I accidentally slept inside my mom's car for about seven minutes from 12:03 AM until 12:10 AM. Anyway, a very sweet friend of mine called me from the airport just when he was about to leave Brunei in the afternoon. We had an important conversation. To cut the story short, I asked for his advice and he simply said:

"Takutlah kepada Allah."

Thanks for everything my dear brother! Ya Allah, please protect him! :')

Menangislah Kerana Tidak Menangis

Detik waktu kelahiran seorang bayi dihiasi tangis
Nyaring berkumandang menyapa telinga ibu Lalu melonjak hati ibu Penawar sakit dan lesu

Lalu bermulalah sebuah kehidupan yang bakal mewarnai bumi berdakwatlah airmata Hidup dimulakan oleh sebuah tangisan dicelahi oleh tangisan diakhiri dengan tangisan

Airmata manusia sentiasa dalam dua yang menguntungkan atau merugikan
Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W :“Dua titisan air yang Allah cintai, Darah para syuhadak dan air mata kerana takutkan Allah”

Nabi Muhammad S.A.W pernah bersabda:“Tangisan seorang pendosa lebih ALLAH cintai daripada tasbih para wali,”

Nikmat disambut ria Ujian menjemput duka
Namun ALLAH S.W.T telah berfirman:

“Boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu , pada hal ia amat baik bagimu, dan boleh jadi (pula) kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia amat buruk bagimu. Allah mengetahui sedangkan kamu tidak mengetahui.” (Al- Baqarah:216)

Menangislah wahai diri agar senyummu banyak di kemudian hari Kerana nasibmu belum pasti Di sana nanti lembaran sejarahmu dibuka satu persatu

Menangislah seperti Saidina Ali dengan hibanya berkata:“Wahai dunia.... janganlah kau tipu aku.Tipulah orang lain.”

Menangislah seperti Saidina Umar yang selalu memukul dirinya dengan berkata:“Kalau semua manusia masuk syurga kecuali seorang, aku takut akulah orang itu,”

Menangislah sebagaimana Ummu Sulaim apabila ditanya:Kenapakah engkau menangis”Jawabnya:“Aku tidak mempunyai anak lagi untuk dihantar ke medan perang.”
Menangislah seperti Ghazwan yang tidak sengaja terpandang wanita rupawan Lalu diharamkan matanya dari memandang ke langit seumur hidupnya

Ibnu Mas’ud r.a berkata:“Seseorang yang mengerti Al- Quran dikenal waktu malam ketika orang lain tidur,dan waktu siangnya ketika orang lain tidak berpuasa, sedihnya ketika orang lain sedang gembira dan tangisnya di waktu orang lain sedang tertawa, diamnya di waktu orang lain bicara khusyuk di waktu orang lain berbangga. Seharusnya orang yang mengeti al-Quran itu tenang,lunak dan tidak boleh menjadi seorang yang keras,kejam lalai, bersuara keras dan marah.”

Tanyailah orang- orang soleh mengapa mereka banyak menangis. Mereka akan menjawab:“Bagaimana hendak gembira sedangkan mati itu di belakang kami, kubur di hadapan, Qiamat itu janjian kami, Neraka itu memburu kami dan perhentian kami ialah Allah.” Mereka menangis di sini sebelum menangis di sana

Dan kita bagaimana?... menangislah kerana kita tidak menangis seperti mereka menangis

Kamal El-Mekki

Syaikh Kamal baked brownies and relate it with his speech. Watching a movie with so many good elements and so very few bad elements is still 'not good' overall. Sounds simple, right? The moment when this syaikh baked brownies (ohh, by the way, he is a certified food expert in the food industry), it would make you think of how very true his analogy is. He is still funny in his own way. ;)

Aku Tak Sembahyang, Tetapi Aku Berjaya (Muhasabah)

Kita tahu bahawa ilmu itu cahaya, dan tidak akan memasuki hati-hati yang gelap, tetapi kita lihat, kawan kita yang berjudi, yang minum arak, boleh berjaya pula, sedangkan kita terkial-kial walaupun sudah berusaha. Kita tahu bahawa, siapa yang berbuat baik, taat kepada ALLAH akan dipermudahkan jalan kehidupannya, tetapi kita lihat, kawan kita ini tidak solat, tetapi bisnesnya menjadi, kita pula hidup dengan penuh cabaran dan duga. Kita juga tahu bahawa, ISLAM ini agama yang benar, tetapi kita sering melihat orang-orang yang bukan ISLAM itu lebih berjaya, dan ummat ISLAM tertindas dalam kehidupan sempit lagi derita.

Orang bertanya kepada saya. Kenapa begitu? Sekarang ini, yang manakah benar? Adakah kita faham selama ini tidak benar?

Maka saya hendak bertanya kepada anda.

Adakah anda tahu apa itu istidraj?

Istidraj ini adalah satu kalimah, yang sering menunjuk kepada keadaan seseorang itu yang terus dilimpahkan rezeki dan kejayaan yang melimpah ruah dalam kehidupannya, walaupun dia bukan hamba ALLAH yang taat, malah seorang pembuat maksiat yang tegar. Kenapa mereka ini dinamakan manusia yang mendapat istidraj? Apakakah maksud istidraj?
Istidraj adalah, apabila ALLAH memberikan kejayaan, harta kekayaan, rezeki yang melimpah ruah untuk manusia itu menjadi lebih jauh dariNya.

Biasanya, manusia yang mendapat istidraj ini adalah mereka yang tidak berusaha menjalankan ISLAM dalam kehidupan, juga tidak berusaha mengenali ALLAH SWT.

Contoh manusia yang mendapat istidraj ini banyak. Kita lihat contoh yang mudah. Qarun. Apakah anda kenal kepada Qarun? Dia ini adalah seorang manusiayang teramat kaya. Diriwayatkan bahawa, kotak yang mengisi kunci kepada gedung-gedung perbendaharaannya tidak mampu diangkat oleh orang-orang yang kuat. Hal ini hendak menyatakan betapa kayanya dia.

Kisah Qarun terdapat di dalam Al-Quran. Hartanya melimpah ruah. Segala perniagaannya menjadi. Segala pelaburannya mengembang. Hartanya makin hari makin bertambah, sedang yang bertambah semalam tidak pula luak digunakan.
Tetapi bila Nabi Musa cuba mengingatkannya berkenaan semua kekayaannya itu datang daripada ALLAH, maka Qarun dengan angkuh menjawab,

“Tidak, semua ini adalah hasil dari ilmuku”

Lihat. Lihat apa kata Qarun. Tidak, semua ini adalah hasil dari… ILMUKU. Dia nyata semakin jauh dari ALLAH, walaupun kekayaannya menjadi, rezekinya melimpah ruah dan sebagainya. Dia saban waktu memperlekehkan pengikut-pengikut nabi Musa yang terdiri dari orang miskin dan hamba.

Apakah pengakhiran Qarun? Dia akhirnya ditenggelamkan ALLAH ke dalam bumi dengan seluruh hartanya. Kisah ini terdapat di dalam Al-Quran.

Nah… Apakah itu yang kita mahu?

Sebab itulah, saya hendak mengajak saudara-saudari berfikir, apakah yang akan timbul di dalam hati kalian apabila kalian ini jenis yang melazimi dosa-dosa, melakukan maksiat, kemudian kalian berjaya di dalam peperiksaan atau perniagaan. Apakah yang agaknya akan timbul dalam jiwa kalian?

Saya yakin, 99% akan merasa begini, “ Tengok, aku tak solat pun berjaya. Siapa kata solat tu bawa kejayaan?”
Apakah yang akan terjadi kepada anda ketika itu? Anda berjaya, tetapi anda semakin jauh dari ALLAH. Itulah istidraj.

Maka jangan gusar bila tidak berjaya. Cuba lagi. Hubungan keimanan anda dengan ALLAH itulah yang pertama sekali perlu anda perhatikan. Jika anda berjaya membina hubungan keimanan yang baik, insyaALLAH, datanglah badai apa sekalipun, anda akan mampu melaluinya.

Sebenarnya ALLAH suka menguji hamba-hambaNya yang beriman. Terdapat satu kisah yang saya suka baca ketika saya masih kecil.

Terdapat dua orang nelayan. Seorang penyembah berhala, dan seorang lagi muslim yang taat kepada ALLAH. Ketika menebar jala, yang menyembah berhala menyebut nama berhalanya, manakala yang muslim membaca bismillah. Bila jala diangkat, yang menyembah berhala mendapat banyak ikan, manakala yang muslim, hampir sahaja tiada ikan untuknya pada hari itu.

Malaikat yang melihat keadaan itu bertanya kepada ALLAH.

“Ya ALLAH, apakah yang telah berlaku? HambaMu yang menyekutukanMu, KAU berikan dia rezeki yang banyak, sedangkan hambaMu yang menyebut namaMu, KAU tidak memberikan DIA apa-apa”
ALLAH menjawab,

“Yang menyekutukanKu, tempatnya memang sudah pasti NERAKA. Maka apalah sangat rezeki yang pasti akan hancur itu jika Kuberikan kepadaNya? Tetapi HambaKu yang beriman itu, AKU hendak mengganjarkanNya syurga, maka AKU suka mengujinya untuk melihat kebenaran imanNya”

Nah, jangan anda kecewa bila diuji, tidak berjaya di dalam peperiksaan walau sudah studi, gagal dalam perniagaan walau kemas menyusun strategi. Itu semua adalah sebahagian dari ujian ALLAH. ALLAH menguji hanya untuk mereka yang dikasihi. Bukankah ALLAH SWT ada berfirman,

“Apakah kamu mengira KAMI akan membiarkan kamu berkata kami beriman sedangkan kamu belum diuji?…”

Jika gagal terhadap satu-satu perkara, itu perkara itu. Anda masih belum gagal dalam kehidupan. Teruskan usaha, selagi nyawa masih ada. InsyaALLAH ALLAH akan memberikan sesuatu yang bermakna kepada anda. Bersangka baiklah kita kepada PENCIPTA kita.

Maka sebenarnya, bila hidup kita digegarkan dengan masalah, hendaklah kita rasa bersyukur. Tandanya, ALLAH masih lagi dekat dengan kita. Ujian adalah tanda kasih sayang dan perhatianNya kepada kita.
Mustahil anda suka senang sebentar di dunia, di akhirat yang kekal abadi nanti anda merana. Anda mahukan istidraj?

Saya yakin tidak..

Anda tenang sekarang?

Anda wajib untuk tidak berasa tenang jika anda berbuat dosa, dan anda berjaya. Sebab itulah, muhasabah diri itu penting. Untuk kita sentiasa periksa bagaimanakah hubungan kita dengan ALLAH SWT.

Aku berdosa, tetapi aku berjaya…. Berhati-hatilah kita agar jangan sampai lafaz itu, atau lafaz-lafaz yang membawa maksud serupa itu terkeluar dari mulut kita.

Mari kita sama-sama duduk, dan bermuhasabah semula.

Allah mahaaa adil dan mahaaa mengetahui! :)

Suami Idaman

"I question myself, does he really exist? then I came back to my senses.. tiada yang mustahil bagi Allah =)" - ER

"Al-kisahnya bermula~~~

Lebih kurang tiga minggu yang lepas saya membawa isteri ke 'Mahkota Medical Centre', dia mengadu kepada saya kepalanya pening, rasa mual dan badany alenguh-lenguh. Saya tanya dia"mengandung kot?" Dia kata tak ada. Oleh kerana 2-3 hari macam tu saja,saya bawak dia jumpa doktor dan ternyata.... isteri saya mengandung dua bulan. Emmm saya dah agak dah.Maka bermulalah cerita baru dan haluan sejarah masa depan akan pastinya berubah lagi.

Dia akan merasa loya dengan bau yang sebelum ini senang baginya, termasuklah bau badan saya. Morningsickness yang teruk sekali bagi isterisaya.Kasihan sungguh, terbaring saja sepanjang masa.Makan tak boleh, minum tak nak, apa pun tak nak.Adakalanya isteri saya semalaman tak dapat tidur,kadang-kadang tu asyik nak tidur saja. Selesai saja solat Isyak dah masuk bilik. Pada awalnya saya tidur kat luarlah sebab dia tak boleh bau badan saya.Saya fahamlah orang mengandung memang macam tu,sekarang ni dah boleh tidur dengan saya dan saya sudah tahu macamana nak elakan insomnia yang dialaminya, iaitu dengan membaca Al-Quran sehingga isteri saya terlelap.Memang kebiasaan sebelum mengandung pun saya akan membacaAl-Quran diatas katil di sisi isteri sebelum tidursehinggalah dia terlelap.

Sekarang saya terus membaca Al Quran disisinya sebagai ubat tidur bagi isteri dan anak dalam kandungan. Adakalanya sampai 2-3 jam.Bukan itu sahaja, saya juga sentiasa bercakap-cakap dengan janin dalam perutnya. Perkara yang mula-mula saya ceritakan padanya ialah tentang tauhid. Saya bermula dengan kitab pertama yang saya pelajari dahulu iaitu kitab'Kasyaful Mahjub'. Mungkin ada pembaca yang berkata saya terlalu ghairah, kebarangkalian untuk janin survive masih tipis. Tapi mana ada ayah yang tak berharapan. Segarang-garang harimau pun tak makan anak, apatah lagi saya. Apa yang akan berlaku pada kemudian hari adalah diluar bidang kuasasaya. Siapa saya untuk mempersoalkanya.

Saya bercerita kepadanya tentang Allah,zat, sifat, asma, afal. Dan cerita itu kembali bercerita kepada diri saya. Ada yang menghantar email dan bertanya bagaimana mahu mensihati anak agar tidak degil. Jawapan yang mahu saya nyatakan bukan hanya untuk anak tetapi untuk sesiapa sahaja terutamanya yang mempunyai hubungan rapat dengan kita.Tak kiralah anak, isteri atau suami.

Bagaimana?

1. Semasa anak atau isteri kita sedang tidur inilahwaktu yang paling sesuai terutamanya diwaktu dua pertiga malam, kerana fikiran bawah sedarnya(subconscius mind) adalah paling optimum ketikaini. Yang tidur hanyalah conscius mind (minda sedar).

2.Sentuhkan ibu jari anda ke langit-langit dan kemudian sentuhlah dengan halus ibu jari anda keubun - ubun orang yang ingin anda nasihati.

3. Semasa ibu jari diatas ubun-ubun selawatlahke atas junjungan Nabi Muhamad dan bacalah surah alfatihah. Kemudian terus dengan berzikir didalam hati dan jangan putuskan zikir anda.

4. Angkat ibu jari anda,kalau boleh janganlah di putuskan zikir didalam hati dan bercakaplah dengan suara yang agak perlahan agar tidak sampai mengejutkanya. Beritahulah apa yang ingin anda beritahunya. Kebiasaannya saya akan menasihati isteri saya agar tidak selalu melewatkan solat,banyakkan berselawat, banyak bersabar.Nasihatilah orang yang anda sayangi dengan apa sahaja nasihat yang anda inginkan. Jangan putuskan zikir anda, supaya zikir itu masuk bersama dengan nasihat anda

5. Anda akan dapat melihat reaksi yang dia sedang menerima pernyataan anda iaitu kelopak matanya bergerak-gerak. Insyallah saya doakan diri saya dan anda berjaya dengan kaedah ini.

Pernah di zaman Imam Abu Hanifah (Hanafi AnNu'man), seseorang pernah bertanya kepada bapa Imam Abu Hanifah. "Tuan, bagaimanakah tuan mendidik Hanafi sehingga begini istimewa jadinya. Jawab bapa Imam Abu Hanifah "Aku didik Hanafi 40 tahun sebelum diadilahirkan". Kalau didengar pernyataan ini tentu aneh bagi kita bukan. Bagaimana mungkin manusia yang belum dilahirkan sudah di didik. Namun apa yang ingin disampaikan oleh Tsabit (bapa Imam Abu Hanifah)ialah dia sendiri telah diasuh, manakala isterinya juga sudah di didik dan Hanafi sendiri sudah dididik sejak dari kandungan lagi. Saya beri anda satu logikakal, acuan yang bulat mana mungkin menghasilkan kuih segiempat. Begitu juga dengan anak dan isteri kita. Mereka adalah cermin kepada diri kita sendiri.

Saya bacakan kisah ini kepada janin yang sedang membesar dalam perut isteri saya. Saya sentiasa berdoa agar dia terus membesar dan dilindungi Allah sebagaimana Allah memelihara Imam Abu Hanifah. Saya nasihatkan dia dengan nasihat yang disuarakan oleh Luqman Al Hakim kepada anaknya. Saya bacakan kisah para rasul, para nabi,wali songo, tujuh wali melayu kepadanya. Cuma isteri saya menasihati agar suarasaya tidak terlalu kuat, bimbang didengar oleh jiran, apapula kata mereka nanti.

Dalam kepekatan malam, isteri saya sudah pun yenyak dibuai mimpi. Saya baru selesai membaca surah yasin disisi isteri hingga dia terlelap. Saya kehalaman rumah, mahu merenung langit malam, satu-satunya hobi saya semenjak kecil semenjak di rumah anak-anak yatim piatu, saya bawa hingga kini. Langit agak terang dan bersih. Saya bersandar dibangku marmar. Kalau isterisaya sihat pastinya dia menemani saya disini, kami akan bercerita tentang segala-galanya, tentang masadepan, tentang anak, tentang cinta, tentang tuhan.

Saya terus merenung langit malam, saya anak yatim piatu yang ditinggalkan ditengah padang rumput,sehingga sekarang tidak diketahui siapa ibu ayah saya. Kini saya akan menjadi ayah. Bermula dari saya akan wujud salasilah keturunan yang baru.Saya bertekad dalam hati, Insyallah jika anak ini lahir, dia tidak akan saya biarkan membesar seperti saya. Dia tidak akan saya biarkan menagih kasih dirumah kebajikan.Dia tidakakan melalui zaman pahit seperti saya. Dia tidak perlu dibohongi yang teddy bear adalah'mama'nya seperti saya. Air mata ini mengalir lagi. Mudah benar ia tumpah.Oh! janganlah tumpah lagi.Sudah terlalu banyak tertumpah.Kalau mahu tumpah biarlah ketika sujud menyembah ilahi.Pesan guruku air mata lelaki jangan ditumpahkan sia-sia.

Saya tidak mahu terus melayan perasaan,segera saya kuncikan pintu dan ke kamar tidur.Isteri saya telah pun nyenyak dibuai mimpi.Inilah 'bintang timur'dalam hidup saya.Ia sentiasa bersinar cemerlang dalam hidup saya,memberi harapan,keyakinan,kesetiaan dancintanya kepada saya.Insyallah tidak lama lagi,akan muncul 'bintang timur kecil' dalam hidup saya."

A Man Named Rashed

This is a true story about a man named Rashed. He tells his story as follows…

I was not more than thirty years old when my wife gave birth to my first child. I still remember that night.

I had stayed out all night long with my friends, as was my habit. It was a night filled with useless talk, and worse, with backbiting, gossiping, and making fun of people. I was mostly the one who made people laugh; I would mock others and my friends would laugh and laugh. I remember on that night that I’d made them laugh a lot. I had an amazing ability to imitate others – I could change the sound of my voice until I sounded exactly like the person I was mocking. No one was safe from my biting mockery, even my friends; some people started avoiding me just to be safe from my tongue. I remember on that night, I had made fun of a blind man who I’d seen begging in the market. What was worse, I had put my foot out in front him – he tripped and fell, and started turning his head around, not knowing what to say.

I went back to my house, late as usual, and I found my wife waiting for me. She was in a terrible state, and said in a quivering voice, “Rashed… where were you?”

“Where would I be, on Mars?” I said sarcastically, “With my friends of course.”

She was visibly exhausted, and holding back tears, she said, “Rashed, I’m so tired. It seems the baby is going to come soon.” A silent tear fell on her cheek.

I felt that I had neglected my wife. I should have taken care of her and not stayed out so much all those nights… especially since she was in her ninth month. I quickly took her to the hospital; she went into the delivery room, and suffered through long hours of pain.

I waited patiently for her to give birth… but her delivery was difficult, and I waited a long time until I got tired. So I went home and left my phone number with the hospital so they could call with the good news. An hour later, they called me to congratulate me on the birth of Salem. I went to the hospital immediately. As soon as they saw me, they asked me to go see the doctor who had overlooked my wife’s delivery.

“What doctor?” I cried out, “I just want to see my son Salem!”

“First go see the doctor,” they said.

I went to the doctor, and she started talking to me about trials, and about being satisfied with Allah’s decree. Then she said, “Your son has a serious deformity in his eyes, and it seems that he has no vision.” I lowered my head while I fought back tears… I remembered that blind man begging in the market who I’d tripped and made others laugh at.

Subhan Allah, you get what you give! I stayed brooding quietly for a while… I didn’t know what to say. Then I remembered by wife and son. I thanked the doctor for her kindness, and went to go see my wife. My wife wasn’t sad. She believed in the decree of Allah… she was content… How often had she advised me to stop mocking people! “Don’t backbite people,” she always used to repeat… We left the hospital, and Salem came with us.

In reality, I didn’t pay much attention to him. I pretended that he wasn’t in the house with us. When he started crying loudly, I’d escape to the living room to sleep there. My wife took good care of him, and loved him a lot. As for myself, I didn’t hate him, but I couldn’t love him either.

Salem grew. He started to crawl, and had a strange way of crawling. When he was almost one year old, he started trying to walk, and we discovered that he was crippled. I felt like he was an even greater burden on me. After him, my wife gave birth to Umar and Khaled. The years passed, and Salem grew, and his brothers grew. I never liked to sit at home, I was always out with my friends… in reality, I was like a plaything at their disposal [entertaining them whenever they wanted].

My wife never gave up on my reform. She always made du’aa for my guidance. She never got angry with my reckless behavior, but she would get really sad if she saw me neglecting Salem and paying attention to the rest of his brothers. Salem grew, and my worries grew with him. I didn’t mind when my wife asked to enroll him in a special school for the handicapped.

I didn’t really feel the passing of the years. My days were all the same. Work and sleep and food and staying out with friends. One Friday, I woke up at 11 am. This was early for me. I was invited to a gathering, so I got dressed and perfumed, and was about to go out. I passed by our living room, and was startled by the sight of Salem – he was sobbing! This was the first time I had noticed Salem crying since he was a baby. Ten years had passed, and I hadn’t paid attention to him. I tried to ignore him now, but I couldn’t take it… I heard him calling out to his mother while I was in the room. I turned towards him, and went closer. “Salem! Why are you crying?” I asked.

When he heard my voice, he stopped crying. Then when he realized how close I was, he started feeling around him with his small hands. What was wrong with him? I discovered that he was trying to move away from me! It was as if he was saying, “Now, you’ve decided to notice me? Where have you been for the last ten years?” I followed him… he had gone into his room. At first, he refused to tell me why he’d been crying. I tried to be gentle with him… Salem started to tell me why he’d been crying, while I listened and trembled.

Do you know what the reason was?! His brother Umar, the one who used to take him to the masjid, was late. And because it was Jumu’ah prayer, Salem was afraid he wouldn’t find a place in the first row. He called out to Umar… and he called out to his mother… but nobody answered, so he cried. I sat there looking at the tears flowing from his blind eyes. I couldn’t bear the rest of his words. I put my hand over his mouth and said, “Is this why you were crying, Salem!”

“Yes,” he said.

I forgot about my friends, I forgot about the gathering, and I said, “Don’t be sad, Salem. Do you know who’s going to take you to the masjid today?”

“Umar, of course,” he said, “… but he’s always late.”

“No,” I said, “I’m going to take you.”

Salem was shocked… he couldn’t believe it. He thought I was mocking him. His tears came and he started crying. I wiped his tears with my hand and then took hold of his hand. I wanted to take him to the masjid by car. He refused and said, “The masjid is near… I want to walk there.” Yes, by Allah, he said this to me.

I couldn’t remember when the last time I had entered the masjid was, but it was the first time I felt fear and regret for what I’d neglected in the long years that had passed. The masjid was filled with worshippers, but I still found a place for Salem in the first row. We listened to the Jumu’ah khutbah together, and he prayed next to me. But really, I was the one praying next to him.

After the prayer, Salem asked me for a musHaf. I was surprised! How was he going to read when he was blind? I almost ignored his request, but I decided to humor him out of fear of hurting his feelings. I passed him a musHaf. He asked me to open the musHaf to Surat al-Kahf. I started flipping through the pages and looking through the index until I found it. He took the musHaf from me, put it in front of him, and started reading the Surah… with his eyes closed… ya Allah! He had the whole Surah memorized.

I was ashamed of myself. I picked up a musHaf… I felt my limbs tremble… I read and I read. I asked Allah to forgive me and to guide me. I couldn’t take it… I started crying like a child. There were still some people in the masjid praying sunnah… I was embarrassed by their presence, so I tried to hold my tears. My crying turned into whimpering and long, sobbing breaths. The only thing I felt was a small hand reaching out to my face, and then wiping the tears away. It was Salem! I pulled him to my chest… I looked at him. I said to myself… you’re not the blind one, but I am, for having drifted after immoral people who were pulling me to hellfire. We went back home. My wife was extremely worried about Salem, but her worry turned into tears [of joy] when she found out I had prayed Jumu’ah with Salem.

From that day on, I never missed the congregational prayer in the masjid. I left my bad friends… and I made righteous friends among people I met at the masjid. I tasted the sweetness of iman with them. I learned things from them that distracted me from this world. I never missed out on gatherings of remembrance [halaqas], or on the witr prayer. I recited the entire Qur’an, several times, in one month. I moistened my tongue with the remembrance of Allah, that He might forgive my backbiting and mocking of the people. I felt closer to my family. The looks of fear and pity that had occupied my wife’s eyes disappeared. A smile now never parted from the face of my son Salem. Anyone who saw him would have felt that he owned the world and everything in it. I praised and thanked Allah a lot for His blessings.

One day, my righteous friends decided to go to a far away location for da’wah. I hesitated about going. I prayed istikharah, and consulted with my wife. I thought she would refuse… but the opposite happened! She was extremely happy, and even encouraged me… because in the past, she had seen me traveling without consulting her, for the purpose of sin and evil. I went to Salem, and told him I would be traveling. With tears, he wrapped me up in his small arms…

I was away from home for three and a half months. In that period, whenever I got a chance, I called my wife and talked to my children. I missed them so much… and oh, how I missed Salem! I wanted to hear his voice… he was the only one who hadn’t talked to me since I’d traveled. He was either at school or at the masjid whenever I called them.

Whenever I would tell my wife how much I missed him, she would laugh happily, joyfully, except for the last time I called her. I didn’t hear her expected laugh. Her voice changed. I said to her, “Give my salam to Salem,” and she said, “Insha’Allah,” and was quiet.

At last, I went back home. I knocked on the door. I hoped that it was Salem who would open up for me, but was surprised to find my son Khaled, who was not more than four years old. I picked him up in my arms while he squealed, “Baba! Baba!” I don’t know why my heart tensed when I entered the house.

I sought refuge in Allah from the accursed shaytan… I approached my wife… her face was different. As if she was pretending to be happy. I inspected her closely then said, “What’s wrong with you?” “Nothing,” she said. Suddenly, I remembered Salem. “Where’s Salem?” I asked. She lowered her head. She didn’t answer. Hot tears fell on her cheeks.

“Salem! Where’s Salem?” I cried out.

At that moment, I only heard the sound of my son Khaled talking in his own way, saying, “Baba… Thalem went to pawadise… with Allah…”

My wife couldn’t take it. She broke down crying. She almost fell to the floor, and left the room. Later, I found out that Salem had contracted a fever two weeks before I’d returned, so my wife took him to the hospital… the fever got more and more severe, and didn’t leave him… until his soul left his body…

And if this earth closes in on you in spite of its vastness, and your soul closes is on you because of what it’s carrying… call out, “Oh Allah!” If solutions run out, and paths are constricted, and ropes are cut off, and your hopes are no more… call out, “Oh Allah.” Allah wished to guide Salem’s father on the hands of Salem, before Salem’s death. How merciful is Allah!

Kerana Bulu Mata

Diceritakan di hari pembalasan kelak, ada seorang hamba Allah sedang diadili. Dia dituduh bersalah kerana mensia-siakan hidupnya di dunia utk berbuat maksiat. Namun begitu dia berkeras membantah,

“Tidak demi langit dan bumi,sungguh tidak benar. saya tak pernah malakukan perkara itu…”

“Tetapi saksi-saksi mengatakan engkau betul² telah menjerumuskan dirimu sendiri ke dalam dosa”

Orang itu menoleh ke kiri dan ke kanan, lalu merenung segenap penjuru ruang yg ada. Kemudian dia pun menyanggah, “mana saksi2 yg engkau maksudkan? disini tiada sesiapa melainkan aku dan suaramu sahaja.”

Jawab malaikat, “Inilah saksi-saksimu…”

Tiba-tiba mata berbicara,“Saya yang memandang,”

disusuli dengan telinga,“Saya yang mendengar perkara itu”

Hidung pun tidak ketinggalan,“Saya yang mencium”

Bibir pun mengaku dengan slumbernye,“Saya yang merayu”

Lidah menambah dengan berani,“Saya yang menjilat dan menghisap”

Tangan tanpa malu meneruskan,“Saya yang meraba dan meramas”

Kaki pula menyusul,“Saya yang berjalan dan berlari semasa itu”

“Nah kalau dibiarkan kesemua anggota tubuhmu akan memberikan kesaksian tentang perbuatan aibmu,” ujar malaikat. Orang tersebut x dapat membuka sanggahnya lagi. Ia berputus asa dan amat berduka kerana sebentar lagi ia akan dihumban ke dalam neraka jahannam.. Padahal ia amat berharap agar segala perbuatan jahatnya dapat diselindungi. Tatkala dia sedang dilanda kesedihan, tiba-tiba terdengar satu suara yg amat lembut dari sehelai bulu mata berbunyi, ” Saya pun ingin mengangkat sumpah untuk menjadi saksi dalam perkara ini.”

Malaikat menjawab dengan tenang,“Silakan wahai bulu mata”

“Terus terang sahaja, menjelang ajalnya pada satu malam yang hening, aku pernah dibasahi dengan juraian air mata penyesalan mengenangkan segala perbuatan keji yang telah dilakukan. Bukankah rasulnya telah berjanji, apabila ada seora ng hamba yang ingin bertaubat, walaupun sehelai bulu mata sahaja yg dibasahi dengan air mata, demikian itu diharamkan dirinya dari ancaman api neraka? Maka, saya sehelai bulu mata, berani tampil sebagai saksi bahawa dia telah bertaubat sampai membasahi saya dengan air mata penyesalan.”

Dengan kesaksian bulu mata itu, orang tersebut dibebaskan dari neraka dan segera dihantar ke syurga:

“Lihatlah hamba Allah ini masuk syurga kerana pertolongan bulu mata...”

I stumbled upon the below hadits on the front page of Pelita Brunei (Edisi Rabu, 3 November 2010) about two days ago:

"Sesungguhnya hari Jumaat adalah penghulu segala hari dan hari yang paling agung di sisi Allah iaitu hari yang paling agung di sisi Allah daripada Hari Raya Aidiladha dan Hari Raya Fitrah (Aidilfitri)..." - Hadits riwayat Imam Ibnu Majah

Manfaatkanlah hari Jumaat biskita dengan sebaik-baiknya! :)

Ketika Aku Harus Memilih

"Aku pernah berfikir, bahwa setiap manusia pasti ingin memiliki seorang kekasih. Kekasih yang akan terus bersamanya, sehidup semati, dalam suka maupun duka tak akan terpisahkan. Sekarang, aku memilih amal sholeh sebagai kekasihku. Karena ternyata hanya amal sholeh-lah yang akan terus menemaniku, bersamaku, bahkan menemaniku dalam kuburku, kemudian amal sholehku pula lah yang menemaniku menghadap Allah.

Aku pernah berfikir, setiap manusia pastilah punya goresan masalah dengan manusia lain, sehingga wajar jika manusia memiliki musuh masing-masing. Kini aku memilih menjadikan setan sebagai musuh utamaku, sehingga aku lebih memilih melepaskan kebencian, dendam, rasa sakit hati, dan permusuhanku dengan manusia lain.

Aku pernah selalu kagum pada manusia yang cerdas, dan manusia yang berhasil dalam karir, atau kehidupan duniawinya. Sekarang aku mengganti kriteria kekagumanku ketika aku menyadari bahwa manusia hebat dimata Allah, adalah hanya manusia yg bertaqwa. Manusia yg sanggup taat kpd aturan main Allah dlm menjalankan hidup n kehidupannya.

Dulu aku akan marah dan merasa harga diriku dijatuhkan, ketika orang lain berlaku zhalim padaku, menggunjingkan aku, menyakiti aku dengan kalimat-kalimat sindiran yg disengaja untuk menyakitiku. Sekarang aku memilih utk bersyukur dan berterima kasih, ketika meyakini bahwa akan ada transfer pahala dr mereka untukku jika aku mampu bersabar... Dan aku memilih tidak lagi harus khawatir, karena harga diri manusia hanyalah akan jatuh dimataNya, ketika dia rela menggadaikan dirinya untuk mengikuti hasutan setan.

Dulu aku yakin, dgn hanya khatam Al Qur'an berkali-kali maka jiwaku akan tercerahkan. Kini aku memilih untuk mengerti dan memaknai artinya dengan menggunakan akalku, dengan mengaktifkan qolbuku dan mengamalkannya dalam keseharianku, maka pencerahan itu baru bisa aku dapatkan.

Ketika aku harus memilih...bantu aku Yaa Rabb, utk selalu memilih yg benar dimataMu..."

The 10 Sicknesses of the Heart

Hidayah Dari Allah SWT, Kitani Hanya Berusaha

وَعَسَى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ وَعَسَى أَنْ تُحِبُّوا شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَكُمْ وَاللهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ

“Boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu, padahal ia amat baik bagimu. Dan boleh jadi (pula) kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal ia amat buruk bagimu. Dan Allah mengetahui, sedangkan kamu tidak mengetahui...” - Surah Al-Baqarah, ayat 216

I saw with my own eyes about three hours ago of how this ayat made a man cried and cried and cried. It all started when someone shared his problem indirectly to someone. And then, someone replied that it would be better if that someone read the meaning of ayat 216 of surah Al-Baqarah.

The Qur'aan is, without a doubt, AMAZING! Hidayah dari Allah SWT atu datangnya dari arah yang tidak disangka-sangka. And please, jagalah hidayah atu seperti sayangnya ibu kepada anak-anaknya. :)

Mimpi Atau Petanda?

Last night, I had a dream. I was told, like, conclusionnya cani lah: kami ada macam gatheringlah masa atu. Durang mau my wife and I ada anak capat-capat sal aku jarang jumpa my wife and kesian lah my wife, according to them. I don't know the reason why though aku jarang jumpa my wife atu. And the thing was, my wife in the dream was someone that I know since last year. Hmmm...

Guys, did you hear today's Titah Kebawah Duli? Rupa-rupanya, alhamdulillaah, cuti bersalin (maternity leave) for government workers was extended from 56 days to 100 days (about three months than the usual two months).

Maybe, that was one of the reasons of why I was told to have a child ASAP in that dream of mine. LOL! xD

Iranian Police Women Training

Ani baru tah ada ciri-ciri pulis negara dzikir (and dzikir ani contextnya luas yo, bukan setakat dari ucapan saja ahh). Why? Pasal aurat durang ani berlandaskan Al-Qur'an dan as-sunnah. Bukan aurat yang ketat-ketat itu lho. Atu masih nampak shape yo yang menggodakan mata kaum Adam. Whether we like it or not, insya-Allah, kebanyakan or maybe even ALL the Muslimah police akan macam ani di zaman pemerintahan imam Mahdi and Nabi 'Isa AS in the future

Why? Karena, pada zaman atu, Islam akan kembali diperintah 'alaa mihaajinn nubuwwah (berlandaskan manhaj kenabian). Maksudnya, Islam akan diterapkan dan dipracticekan 100% based on the Al-Qur'an and as-sunnah. Bila mencuri, putung tangan, and so on. No more democracy, no more monarchy, no more man-made systems, and so on.

Dunia Akhir Zaman (Part 2)

"Video (bahagian) kedua memaparkan konspirasi-konspirasi yang membingungkan dunia masa kini. Dan berawaslah dengan simbol-simbol tangan yang dipaparkan dalam video ini yang dikatakan sebagai penyembahan syaitan. Wallahu a'lam." - AAHY

Dunia Akhir Zaman (Part 1)

"Video ini memaparkan bagaimana dalil 'akal dan dalil naqli (firman Allah SWT) digabungkan bagi menolak teori-teori zaman batu dimana manusia awal zaman adalah jahil dan tidak berteknologi canggih, ini ditangkis oleh bukti dalam Qur'an, manusia pertama, Nabi Adam. Wallahu a'lam." - AAHY

Motivational Words From As-Syahid Syaikh Ahmad Yasin

I got the picture above and the motivational words below from Facebook:

"Adakah hati kalian tidak bergelora melihat kekejaman yang berlaku terhadap kami sehingga tiada satu kaum pun bangkit menyatakan kemarahan kerana Allah. Tiada satu kaum pun yang bangkit menentang musuh-musuh Allah yang telah mengisytiharkan perang antarabangsa ke atas kami dan menukarkan kami daripada golongan yang mulia yang dianiaya dan dizalami kepada pembunuh dan penjenayah serta pengganas. Tidak adakah yang mahu di antara kalian, bangkit menentang musuh-musuh yang telah berjanji setia untuk menghancurkan dan menghukum kami?" - As-syahid Syaikh Ahmad Yasin, Pengasas HAMAS

And suddenly, I remembered this hadith:

"Demi dzat yang diriku ada di tangan-Nya, saya sungguh ingin terbunuh di jalan Allah SWT kemudian hidup lagi, kemudian terbunuh dan hidup lagi, kemudian terbunuh dan hidup lagi, kemudian terbunuh." - Hadith riwayat Bukhori dan Muslim

My heart melt and melt looking at the picture and reading the inspiring words from as-syahid Syaikh Ahmad Yasin. And I have to admit, I'm really jealous of him.

Karena sesungguhnya, kata-kata yang tersembunyi dan tersirat di dalam hati ini juga sangat-sangat ingin mati syahid di jalan-Mu!

This is Why You'll Never Win Over Islam

Today, Yesterday and the Previous Two Days

Tadi pagi ada majlis sambutan hari guru dan hari raya di sekulah kami, SMTM, and I got this Patrick doll of the SpongeBob SquarePants cartoon from the event's lucky draw, alhamdulillaah~ :D I gave this ohh-my-sooo-cute doll to my youngest sister since she loves to watch the cartoon.


Last night, I had a dinner with my friends at Escapade Sushi, Kiulap, to celebrate our convocation on Thursday's morning. And guess what, ada surprise graduation cake yo! I was wondering why did she bring a birthday cake since I could not figure out siapa yang birthday. Rupanya, graduation cake tah sudah tu (picture above). :) Atu terkajut saya and malu also since the graduation cake was put in front of me. Many faces were focusing on us *shy*. And alhamdulillaah, kami kana lanja also by the one who sponsored the graduation cake. Mun ku tau, banyak-banyak ku order. xD Thank you sis~ Our turn to surprise you lagi next year for your convocation. We would think of a way of how to make it really, and really surprising for you. ;)


Two days before, we had our convocation~ :D

But then, cuba renungkan this ayat-ayat cinta, huhu...

"Hai orang-orang yang beriman, apakah sebabnya bila dikatakan kepadamu: "Berangkatlah (untuk berperang) pada jalan Allah", kamu merasa berat dan ingin tinggal di tempatmu? Apakah kamu puas dengan kehidupan di dunia sebagai ganti kehidupan di akhirat? Padahal kenikmatan hidup di dunia ini (dibandingkan dengan kehidupan) di akhirat hanyalah sedikit..." - Surah At-Taubah, ayat 38

"CintaMu ya Allah tetap menjadi cita-cita kami, kekalkanlah ya Rahman cinta ini di dalam hati kami sehingga kami menghadapMu, jadikanlah janji syurgaMu perisai yang ampuh bagi hati kami agar ia tidak tergoda dengan dunia ini yang terlalu hina dan tiada makna..."

Okay, I have to stop blogging for patang ani since this night ada Khatam function at my cousin's house. :)

Bumi Cinta

"Apa jadinya, jika seorang santri salaf, bernama Muhammad Ayyas, hidup di negeri paling menjunjung tinggi seks bebas dan pornografi, yaitu Rusia? Akankah iman dan kehormatannya dipertaruhkan demi memenuhi hasrat duniawi nonik-nonik muda Moskwa, yang kecantikannya tiada tara?"

I'm currently reading chapter 4 (out of 40) of Habiburrahman El Shirazy's latest novel, Bumi Cinta (above shows the cover of the novel).

Alhamdulillaah, I'm not working today since it's a public holiday for the teachers today. I'm not sure about the private school teachers though by the way. And thus, I have more time reading this novel. ;)

A Little Bit of Sharing

# Di akhirat, kitani akan sibuk mencari amal-amal kita di dunia apabila kita melihat betapa dahsyatnya neraka di depan mata.

# Melabur/investing enam hari berpuasa di bulan Syawal yang mulia, (insya-Allah) akan dapat pahala berpuasa selama setahun.

# Kita akan merasa satu 'kekuatan' apabila kita bergantung kepada Al-Qur'an dan sunnah.

# Jika kamu berselisih, kembalilah kepada Allah SWT dan Rasul-Nya, jika kamu beriman dengan Allah dan Rasul-Nya. Ani tah yang membezakan tani daripada para-para sahabat, we tend to not refer to Al-Qur'an dan Rasul-Nya (sunnah).

# Al-Qur'an bukan diturunkan untuk menyelesaikan masalah, tetapi as a guidance, walaupun ia dapat menyelesaikan masalah.

Another Tick in the List: The Final Part

Bismillaah, during the UBD orientation week in 2006, I made my first blood donation on Thursday, 3rd August 2006, at the Chancellor Hall, UBD, thanks to my two friends, Fatih Zawawi and Abu Zar. I was also inspired to donate blood for the first time because of watching episode three of the J-drama, Nobuta wo Produce. About more than a year later, after watchig another J-drama, One Litre of Tears, and inspired from it, I set a target to donate 10 times before I graduate in 2010 (Thursday, 30th September 2010).

Latest donation: Thursday, 23/9/2010, my twelfth blood donation, ACHIEVED! Alhamdulillaah wa astaghfirullaah... :D

Next target: at least 50 blood donations by 1/1/2020! Insya-Allaah... Pray for me for everything, please...
