Kenapa menulis blog?

Bismillah. Sila rujuk kepada entry MR cry4freedom. Walaupun literature review untuk dissertation saya masih belum selesai, namun, hati ini degil untuk menulis. Tak boleh tidur kalau tidak meluahkan isi minda saya di atas papan kekunci. Dulu, pernah menulis entry yang lebih kurang sama, namun itu semasa zaman jahiliyyah, zaman tak kenal diri sendiri. Kali ini, ingin menjawab dalam bahasa ibunda pula. Jadi, kenapa menulis blog? Continue reading

My sayang~

He always kissed me when I asked him to. Very bratty. Very fussy and posh. Oh, picky as well. He only eat north Atlantic prawns and Whiskas. He comes to me with his shining eyes and soft purr, asking for attention. But, I love him so much. A darling to everyone (except to those who are allergic to cat or animal). I think I’ll miss him when I go back to Malaysia. =( Beethoven Ford

A day at Totnes

Salam. I had a day trip to Totnes today.

Visited Berry Pomeroy Castle with other MARJON students. It was sunny and a perfect day for pollen to float in the air. Whee~~! And only Allah knows how I’m worried of sniffing flowers, stepping the grass and get near to any kind of plants!

I went out with Sarah, and FYI, she is suffering hayfever as well. What a coincidence, when the driver asked us to say “sneeze” instead of “cheese”, the next thing we heard was, she was really sneezing! Few times. And she was sneezing until we arrived in Plymouth. Poor her. O yeah, new product for hay fever sufferer. Sarah suggested me Happinose . I tried it. Smells nice and insha Allah it will decongest a stuffy nose.

Oh, talking about hayfever, last night, I breathed from my mouth. Can’t sleep well actually. My nose blocked and I thought I might get asthma, but Alhamdulillah, was OK. Managed to get up for Fajr still.

Well, I had a long day today, I hope I’ll get better by tomorrow and Sunday. Insha Allah. Will updates the pictures soon insha Allah. Need some sleep now. Have a pleasant weekend!

Swimming sessions

Bismillah. I had fun swimming in MARJON’s pool last week and now they are giving up female-only swimming session because they want to give away to the school children since it’s school term holiday. I finally found the sport that I really enjoy and managed to make my body toned and fit, and now, I’m going to miss it for a month. Great. I really miss my swimming sessions!!! I wonder whether my swimming suit will fit me nicely after a month. =P

So, I really need a balanced diet. Gosh! Is there anything more fun than diet and jogging?

Realiti TV dan realiti masyarakat

Salam. Komik ini adalah karya Kamalsan (klik untuk besarkan saiz). Mahu berkongsi dengan pembaca sekalian, kerana perkara yang sama pernah terjadi pada diri saya. Hahah.

Rakan saya: A***, kau follow rancangan dot dot dot tak?”

Saya: Er, tak. It’s not my cup of tea anymore…(followed by dead silence)

Saya tidak bermaksud menujukan komik ini khusus kepada mana-mana individu. Mahu menjadikan ruang kecil blog ini seperti ruang vlog Brother Ali dari UmmahFilms, dengan tujuan yang sama, “Reminding you just in case you forgot”. Cuma menjalankan tanggungjawab saya dan kita, seperti dalam surah Al-Asr, ayat 3. Tolong ingatkan saya juga andai saya lalai, ‘terkembali’ kepada tarikan jahiliyyah dan termakan hasutan syaitan. Huu~~~(T_T)

Nasihat dari seorang teman dari Birmingham, amalkan membaca doa dari Surah Ali Imran, ayat 8-9. Tafsirannya:

[8] (Mereka berdoa dengan berkata): Wahai Tuhan kami! Janganlah Engkau memesongkan hati kami sesudah Engkau beri petunjuk kepada kami dan kurniakanlah kepada kami limpah rahmat dari sisiMu; sesungguhnya Engkau jualah Tuhan Yang melimpah-limpah pemberianNya.

[9] Wahai Tuhan kami! Sesungguhnya Engkaulah yang akan menghimpunkan sekalian manusia, untuk (menerima balasan pada) suatu hari (hari kiamat) yang tidak ada syak padanya. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak memungkiri janjiNya.

Ya Allah, please grant our dua. Amin.

Everyone is talking about Lina Joy

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. In the name of Allah, the most gracious, the most merciful. Of course I would like to say something on Lina Joy’s case. She wants to be an apostasy, using Quran. This verse particularly.

In the name of God, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
[2:256]
Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from Error: whoever rejects evil and believes in God hath grasped the most trustworthy hand- hold, that never breaks. And God heareth and knoweth all things.

* v.256 : Compulsion is incompatible with religion; because 1) religion depends upon faith and will, and these would be meaningless if induced by force; 2) Truth and Error have been so clearly shown up by the mercy of God that there should be no doubt in the minds of any persons of goodwill as to the fundamentals of faith; 3) God’s protection is continuous and His Plan is always to lead us from the depths of darkness into the clearest light.
* Hand-hold: something which the hands can grasp for safety in a moment of danger. It may be a loop or a handle, or anchor. If it is without flaw, so that there is no danger of breaking, our safety is absolutely assured so long as we hold fast to it. Our safety then depends on our own will and faith; God’s help and protection will always be unfailing if we hold firmly to God and trust in Him.

(Translation and interpretation by Abdullah Yusuf Ali)

Weird huh? She claimed that she is not a believer of Islam, but she still want to use Quran, the holy book for Muslim. I wonder whether she really read the quran, cover to cover? Has she come across verse 208? has she studied Quran really well, until she mesmerized by it’s beauty and truth. Does she know that all the pre-nuptial agreement that is popularized by Hollywood stars nowadays, actually already stated in the Quran, dated 1400 years ago. Does she know that? Why on earth she bring such disgrace. I don’t care about the constitution, but she’s trying to use Quran, and she misinterpret it. What a shame! Can someone tell her about this please. Oh, Lina, if by any chance you come across this tiny blog, I hope you already know what you are doing. I don’t want you to lost in your own ignorance. If you really want to use the Quran, use it fully. Not taking bits and pieces, without having a full understanding of it. Wonder why you are doing all this mess, because in the UK, many women revert to Islam because Islam the complete and perfect. Wonder why you did that Lina? You are stepping backward, not forward.

I can see many muslims in the East, but not Islam. I can see Islam in the West, but not many Muslims.

Read: Jeff Ooi’s compilation of other people’s rambling on this issue.

Ya Alah, protect me from anger and apostasy.

From surah Ali Imran: [8] “Our Lord!” (they say), “let not our hearts deviate now after Thou hast guided us, but grant us mercy from Thine own Presence; for Thou art the Grantor of bounties without measure.

[9] “Our Lord! Thou art He that will gather mankind together against a Day about which there is no doubt; for Allah never fails in His promise.”

Ameen.

A call for peace and truth

Assalamualaikum, peace to be upon you. May Allah protects us from wrongdoing and the evil whispers of Satan. If Channel 4 can do this documentary, and tell no lies or propaganda, why not me? What about you? Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you a documentary, exclusively done by channel 4, namely “Battle for the Holy Land: Jerusalem”. This is a real cry for freedom!

Don’t forget to rate the video and give you honest comment to BBC:

kerja dan tanggungjawab

Bismillah. Dengan nama Allah, catatan dimulakan.

Setiap Muslim telah diberikan tanggungjawab ( rujuk quran – 2:30 dan 51:56). Mutakhir, semua orang sibuk, menyediakan apa yang patut untuk Malaysian Fest. Sejak dari hari saya bekerja (membuat persiapan untuk MFest) dengan seorang sahabat, lidah dan hati saya bertanya:

Adakah apa yang aku lakukan ini akan membantuku di akhirat? Laa.. ape la yang aku buat ni sebenarnya? Untuk siapa?

Entah. Sehingga saat ini saya sendiri tidak pasti. Masa yang dihabiskan tak mungkin akan saya dapat kembali. Setiap detik yang saya telah luangkan, Allah akan tanya saya di akhirat nanti. Apa jawaban yang patut saya beri? Takut. Takut kerana tidak meluangkan masa sebaiknya dan tidak sabar semasa membuat kerja. Bimbang, andai Allah akan persoalkan, samada setiap perkara yang saya lakukan, tidak bermanfaat untuk diri sendiri dan semua.

Kerja itu tidak semestinya tanggungjawab kan? Kerja itu tidak semestinya WAJIB buat kan? Tanggungjawab itu, walau di mana pun kita berada, kena buat kan? Namun, adakah saya sudah lunaskan tanggungjawab itu? Dan kini, hati saya berasa sedih.
