Alhamdulillah. It has been a couple of months since I last updated this blog. Reason? Takde mase kot. Or I think most probably it's because I found something better to do than updating this blog :D Actually terlintas nak update blog ni pun sbb I think somehow my english is deteriorating. Dah lame tak cakap & menulis dalam bahase penjajah ni kot. So insyaAllah, my remedy to the problem is, I've got to write in English, and my blog pun jadi mangsa.

Just a few days ago the indecisive Pak Lah made a decision that shocks the whole nation - that is, the price of fuel went up by 30 CENTS. The biggest increment ever. The people has to make sacrifice, he said. Change your
lifestyle, his DPM said. InsyaAllah, we'll change the government, I said. I wish not to elaborate further regarding this issue, since I've done so in another forums & blogs. What a bad, bad ruling party we have here. Innalillah wa inna ilaihi roojiun. It made me wonder, who voted this clowns to be our leaders anyway? Sometimes majority means all the idiots are on the same side. So, I don't think I need to state the obvious, kan...?

insyaAllah, ilal liqo'.

A Message From The Mujahideen In Chechnya To The Ummah
Jan 04, 2006
By Ubaidah Al-Saif , Translation © Jihad Unspun 2005

Deputy Military Commander Abu Hafs has sent a message to this year’s Pilgrims, in particular, and to the rest of the Ummah, in general, calling on every Muslim not to forget their brothers in Chechnya, especially during this Holy time of year as he reports on the progress within the Caucasus.

A Message From The Mujahideen In Chechnya To The Ummah

In The Name Of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Praise be to Allah, and peace and prayer be upon our prophet Muhammad, the Imam of Mujahideen who was sent with mercy to all mankind and Jin, his family, and his companions.

Pilgrims Brothers At The Sacred House Of Allah, Muslim Brothers Everywhere

Assalamualikum Wa Rahmatu Allahi Wa Barakatuh

This time is a special time, the first 10 days of Dthu Al-Hejjah, and this season is a special season, it is Pilgrimage season. I would like to take this opportunity to let you know that we are in the best condition; we go from one victory to another, by the Grace of Allah, and by your support and invoking Allah on our behalf. In spite of all plots and slanderous acts against Mujahideen everywhere, Allah will not allow but His light to be perfected, even though the unbelievers may detest (it).

My Muslim Brothers,

The long duration of fighting in Chechnya has strengthened Jihad and the Mujahideen, by the Grace of Allah. Thousands of young and elderly men have come from everywhere to Chechnya and the rest of the Qoqaz area to the point that we felt bad as the facilities and the nature of our operations do are inferior for such a huge number. But Alhamdulillah firstly and Alhamdulillah lastly. Our jihad bore fruits not only on the battle field but also in the political arena. The duration of fighting has already weakened the Russian enemy.

In addition to daily losses, the enemy’s president (Putin) can not fulfill the promise he made to the Russian people before his election. He is facing a real political problem, locally, and internationally. He has promised to put an end to the resistance in Chechnya, but Allah has disgraced him. Signs of victory are very clear here, your brothers are in very high spirit and determination in spite of their injuries. Your brothers here revived those old heroic days of Khalid and Hamza, may Allah be pleased with them. Their performance against the enemy of Allah has been outstanding, so is your brother’s performance, especially their latest battle in which Shiekh Omar Al-Saif was killed, may Allah accept him as martyr.

O you Muslims who are getting ready to stand atop of Mount Arafat! You owe your brothers here something. You cannot forget them and you must do everything you can to help them and invoke Allah on their behalf. You must stay by their side until total victory is realized, by the Grace of Allah.

And remember, the prophet, peace be upon him said:

“The relationship between the believers is like one body, if a part of that body suffers from anything, the rest of the body responds by feeling the heat and staying up.”

May Allah accept good deeds from us all. Praise be to Allah, the Cherisher and Sustainer of the worlds.

Allahu Akbar and glory is to Islam.

Your brother,
Abu Hafs
Chechnya

Apa yang hendak difikirkan?

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah hi taa'la wabarakatuh. Alhamdulillah, dah agak lame tak update blog ni, sbb cam sentiasa bz je sekarang ni..Alhamdulillah. Camner pun tergerak gak untuk update blog ni, lepas terbace posting kat blog sahabat saye (mudin001.blogspot.com), tentang berfikir. Actually dah lame nak tulis tp selalu terlupe.

“Orang yang mengingati Allah ketika berdiri dan duduk ketika berbaring dan mereka memikirkan tentang kejadian langit dan bumi (mereka mengatakan): Wahai Tuhan kami! Tidaklah Engkau menjadikan ini dengan sia-sia, Maha Suci Engkau, peliharalah kami daripada seksa neraka. (Ali-Imran, 191)

Allah menyuruh umat Islam berfikir. Namun sayang sekali kalau kita lihat sekeliling kita sekarang ni, especially orang melayu, ramai yang malas berfikir. Fenomena hedonisme yang melanda Malaysia, termasuk Akademi Fantasi dan yg sewaktu dengannya jelas merosakkan tahap pemikiran, IQ (Intelligence Quotient) dan EQ (Emotional Quotient). Ramai, amat ramai sekali bangsa melayu sekarang yang malas berfikir. Semuanya sibuk dengan hiburan. Lihatlah bahan² bacaan yang menjadi santapan pemuda-pemudi melayu.. kebanyakannya adalah majalah yang menceritakan ttg artis, gossip, kehidupan yg penuh maksiat dan berfoya-foya, komik, dan yang sewaktu dengannya menjadi bacaan amalan bangsa melayu. Amat rendah sekali tahap pemikiran mereka. Amat rendah sekali tahap emosi mereka.

Small minds talk about people, Average minds talk about events, Great minds discuss ideas.

Perbualan kebanyakan masyarakat melayu sekarang hanyalah berkisarkan Akademi Fantasia, artis, dan perkara² yang tidak mendatangkan faedah. Surat khabar hari ni menyatakan yang seorang professor madya memberitahu yang salah seorang peserta Akademi Fantasia boleh dijadikan role-model untuk masyarakat. Minggu lepas sewaktu saya pergi ke UIA PJ utk mendaftarkan adik, surat khabar Kosmo diberi percuma kepada ibu bapa yang berada di sana. Kandungan Kosmo yang serupa sebuah tabloid, yang kandungannya banyak menceritakan tentang artis, gossip dan skandal, dijadikan bahan bacaan pertama untuk bakal-bakal mahasiswa dan mahasiswi sebuah Universiti Islam. Alangkah hinanya pemikiran bakal² pemimpin masa depan negara, sekiranya bahan² seperti ini yang dijadikan santapan minda dan rohani mereka. Ramai yang mengalirkan air mata apabila peserta Akademi Fantasia diundi keluar, berpelukan lelaki perempuan seolah-olah itulah cara hidup bangsa melayu Islam. Tidak hairanlah ramai pemuda berbangsa melayu yang menjadi 'doktor injek sendiri', mat rempit, dan pembunuh dan penyamun. Akal mereka telah ditindas dengan seteruk-teruknya oleh diri sendiri, tahap emosi mereka telah di 'grade down' kan oleh perbuatan diri sendiri.. lantaran inilah yang dimahukan oleh musuh² Islam, yakni puak Nasrani dan Yahudi. Namun masih ramai bangsa melayu yang tidak sedar akan hakikat ini, atau pilih untuk tidak sedar, lantaran kerana malas untuk berfikir apakah cara penyelesaiannya untuk menghadapi semua ini. Mereka lebih suka dijadikan seperti kerbau yang dicucuk hidung, mengikut arus yang merosakkan mereka, yang menjanjikan untuk mereka kenistaan kehidupan dunia dan akhirat.

Rasulullah SAW pernah menceritakan mengikut apa yang tersebut di dalam kitab Nabi Ibrahim AS yang bermaksud:
“Sewajarnya setiap yang berakal, selagi akal fikirannya tidak hilang, membahagikan masanya kepada empat waktu iaitu:

waktu untuk dia bermunajat (berzikir dan berdoa) kepada Allah;
waktu untuk dia bermuhasabah tentang dirinya;
waktu untuk dia berfikir tentang ciptaan-ciptaan Allah; dan
waktu untuk dia menumpukan kepada keperluannya seperti mencari makanan dan minuman.”

Suka saya hendak berkongi petikan dari satu artikel dari majalah sains barat, yang menyebutkan otak kita terdiri dari berjuta-juta sel, dan saat demi saat, sel-sel ini akan mati sesuai dengan peningkatan umur. Sel-sel otak inilah yang membantu kita berfikir. Dan satu-satunya cara untuk meng'generate' balik sel-sel otak yang telah mati ini adalah dengan mengaktifkan aktiviti sel-sel otak kita, iaitu dgn membanyakkan berfikir. Tidak hairanlah jika ramai pemuda-pemuda melayu yang makin rosak akhlak dan pemikirannya, apabila masa muda mereka disajikan dengan perkara-perkara yang sememangnya tidak membantu untuk membina sel2 otak mereka, malah mungkin lebih cepat menghancurkannya. Tidak hairanlah juga mengapa mereka boleh memilih manusia-manusia yang korup untuk memimpin mereka.

wallahualam. wassalam warahmatullah

The longest journey: A journey to Kelantan..

Alhamdulillah, it’s been a really great day for me.. and although still penat, but I have to brace myself to write this and store what’s in my memory, digitally..eheh.. Actually me and 5 of my friends just went to Kelantan to go to Tok mudin’s walimatul urus And this is my first time to Kelantan .

We start our journey at about 12 midnight (12am Saturday morning) from Bangi by 2 cars, one driven by Ise and the other by Faiz Schumacher, just stopping at some petrol station to fill up our car’s petrol. After about 2 hours driving, we reached Raub, Pahang and we stopped at a Masjid here, and by the advise of Faiz Schumacher, we were told to empty what’s inside our stomach because after this we are going through Gua Musang, a no-man’s land.. He told us that through our next journey, we will be driving for a couple of hours, and unlike if we are traveling through PLUS highway, there will be no proper R&R and petrol station here when we travel to Gua Musang. My dad told me that previously there was a curfew, which is we can’t travel through Gua Musang after certain hours because it’s pretty dangerous to take a trip through here actually, since if we are stranded or met with an accident, because the lack of lamp post (I’ve seen virtually no streetlamp here, actually..) nobody will notice us, and the lack of phone coverage in this area (especially digi..haha..), made anyone who travels through here virtually travels alone; and the trip here is more than 200km if I’m not mistaken. That’s why some people called this place a no-man’s land.

So we travel through the night, and somewhere during the journey there was quite a heavy rain. Nazly was driving the kancil Ferrari and faiz Schumacher as the co-driver. During the rain, we noticed a kancil just terbabas into the semak as we drive through..some other cars has stopped to help them. InsyaAllah, hopefully nothing bad happens to them..(boleh doa je, sbb driver and co-driver tak sedar lak, jd tak dpt nak berhenti ). We reached Gua Musang R&R about 5:30 am., jd sementara tunggu time solat subuh, kitorang tido jap dlm kerete..ingatkan baru 5 minit, sedar² dah lebih setengah jam tertido, Alhamdulilah encik Ekram yg tak tido kejutkan kitorang, kalau tak mau terlepas subuh dah. After that Faiz Schumacher amik alih driving dari nazly, and saya jd co-driver pulak (takde point pun jadi sebenarnye, sbb saye tido gak.. ). And for the other car yang di drive oleh ise, bila ditanye perlu tukar driver ke tak, ise just cakap "still kuat maa..bole drive lagi punya…" tp time ekram amik alih driving, tak sampai seminit ise terus tertido…hahaha..

Then we continue our journey to Jeli, rumah Tok Mudin..we stopped for breakfast and to cleanse ourself before sampai rumah tok mudin (takkan nak pi rumah orang kawen pakai baju tido kot), we stopped at a surau.. we had a little rest, basuh² muka (tak dapat nak mandi sebab takde air..haha..) and get our clothes changed..then we sambung our journey. At some point, time saye terbangun dari tido waktu jadi co-driver, ternampak signboard tulis ‘Thailand-5km’..pastu tetiba dapat sms ‘Welcome To Thailand’ dari digi lak.Bertuahnya digi,dari takder line tetiba ader line, tu pun digi tukar ke network Thailand. Jd kalau nak buat call diorang kire international roaming.. dah la time tu credit nak abih dah.... Menurut faiz schumacher, Thailand terletak betul² kat sebelah kitorang je, kat seberang sungai time kitorang tgh drive tu..jd dia kater kalau time air surut (air sungai ade surut ke?) bole seberang ke sana..hahaha…mau kene tembak dari askar Thailand kang..dah lah tak pasal² bunuh orang Islam kat tak bai..).. At about 12 something we reached Tok Mudin’s house. Alhamdulillah, dpt jumpa gak pengantin baru ni..pagi semalam tok mudin diijabkabulkan..ingat² balik, last time jumpe tok mudin ni, rase cam dia ni still kecik je lagi..sedar² dah kawen…hehehe.. We spent about 40 minutes at tok mudin’s house..tak dpt nak stay lamer, sbb nak gerak ke rumah faiz schumacher kat kota bharu lak.. so tak dpt nak tunggu tengok tok mudin berarak sbg raje sehari.. (jgn lupe upload gambar² tu nnt tok mudin..)

Then we continue our journey to rumah faiz Schumacher, the renowned pemandu kancil Ferrari. After more than 2 hours driving, Alhamdulillah we reached his home..so rehat² sat kat rumah dia sambil makan buah salak and mee hoon, and ise sempat memuatkan tangan²nya dengan buah salak untuk bekalan time driving nnt..eheh.. Right after azan asar, kitorang bertolak ke masjid negeri (kot), mandi² and solat jama’..pastu kitorang sambung perjalanan kitorang. Ehsan jd driver kancil Ferrari, saya jadi co-driver (cam biase, co-driver yg sentiasa tido ) and nazly duk kat belakang sambil tido terdongak kepala kat atas the whole way dari Kota Bharu ke R&R Gua Musang. Berbekalkan kaset UNIC baru, ehsan memandu sampai ke R&R Gua musang..and nazly complain yg kaset ni dah pusing berape puluh kali..mane taknye..time pergi pasang kaset ni, time balik pun pasang kaset ni gak..hahaha…

Sampai R&R Gua Musang, kitorang solat jama’ maghrib isya’ makan n minum sikit, then once again we continue our journey through the no-man’s land Gua Musang. Ekram ambil alih jadi driver dari ise lak..sbb ekram kater time on the way ke R&R Gua Musang tu, Ise dah tertido sambil driving; dia kater kepala ise dah melekat kat steering (camner tu?)..hahaha…Ehsan lak jadi YB duduk kat seat belakang sorang2. Time ni turn saye lak utk drive..haha..dengan berbekalkan doa, lesen P yang belum tamat tempoh, dan nazly sbg co-driver, kitorang pun mulakan perjalanan. So Alhamdulillah we travel the whole way from Gua Musang to Bentong, and stopping only once kat tengah², itupun untuk stretchkan tangan yang penat driving. And actually this is my first time driving sejauh tu . Cuak gak, dah la takde lampu jalan, yg ader pun cat’s eye ngan papan tanda je, and at some point jalan tu sometimes berkabus ataupun dilitupi asap yang agak tebal..Alhamdulillah semuanya ok..Then we stopped at bentong, sbb saye tak tahan dah, ngantuk bangat driving..drive kerete pun dah tak straight, asyik nak masuk emergency lane je..Alhamdulillah ada co-driver yg elok (jadi tukang urut n supply gula²..hahaha..puji ni en. Nazly). Ekram yang pandu kerete kat belakang kitorang pun tgk kitorang drive pun dah senget. So we stopped at bentong, and nazly amik alih driving, and saye tido kat seat co-driver . Alhamdulillah, a few hours later sampai kat R&R genting sempah, makan² n minum, and sambung our journey back to bangi. At this time kitorang berpecah, nazly drive balik kancil Ferrari sorang², and kitorang berempat dalam satu kerete yg didrive oleh ise. Alhamdulillah, about 2:45am, sampai kat apartment ise n ekram kat bangi. Masuk je apartment tu kitorang terus tergolek kepenatan..Alhamdulillah..home sweet home (bukan rumah saya pun..eheh)…

So that’s my story, how we travel to Kelantan ‘balik-hari’. One thing worth mentioned here, the undisputed skill of faiz Schumacher (and how the kancil Ferrari got its name). Time saye jadi co-driver dia, rase cam kerete lain slow sangat..byk kerete dia potong, tp tengok kat meter kerete tu dlm 80/90 km/j je, tp yang pelik hampir semua kerete dia bole potong, pastu ise yg drive kat belakang pun byk kali komplain kater kancil Ferrari ni selalu hilang2…hahaha…and one more thing, time ehsan drive kancil Ferrari ni pun, ekram yg drive kerete kat belakang pun komplen kancil Ferrari ni asyik2 ilang gak, tp ehsan kate dia rase dia drive slow je..saye yg jd co-driver pun tak rase laju gak.Haha.What’s with this kancil actually? Or even better, who actually is this guy faiz Schumacher?...hehe

OK, finally here I list all the awards for our The longest journey.. a journey to Kelantan:
Best driver: Ise
Best co-driver: Nazly and Ekram
Faiz Schumacher aren’t eligible for this award, since he’s on a different level of ‘makam’ . He drives a kancil Ferrari, a new hybrid of kancil, which can’t be found anywhere else in the world
Best new-learned words: Kopi kuat (ekram)

Ehsan and me certainly aren’t qualified to win any co-driver or driver awards, since we slept most of the time at the back seat..hahaha..

Alhamdulillah..that’s all. Juz want to wish tok mudin again, selamat pengantin baru, moga berbahagia di samping isteri, dunia dan akhirat. Doa²kanlah untuk kitorang pulak k.

.. insyaAllah ujung tahun ni buat rombongan pi JB lak..

on National Achievers Congress @ pwtc

Alhamdulillah.. lepas dah berbulan tak usik blog ni, ada gak kesempatan untuk meng'updatekan'nya. Looking at my last post, rupanye dah 2 bulan tak diupdatekan blog ni.hohoho.

Alhamdulillah, yesterday and sebelum yesterday I went to pwtc for a congress called National Achievers Congress or in short, NAC 2005. Well actually I got the ticket (2, actually) from my auntie who can't make it to the 2-day congress. Just for your info, the ticket will cost you more than rm300 if you buy the ticket 1 year earlier, or nearly rm1K if u buy it a few weeks before the event. And obviously I won't go to the event if not for the free ticket I got. I was reluctant to go at first, but after my sister asked me to go with her, and thinking that the overpriced congress would provide a 1st-class free meal, so off I go... only to find out that you have to bring your own snack for the entire 9-5 congress, or else you could buy some food at the again, overpriced pwtc food stall.

Anyway for the content of the seminar, Alhamdulillah I found it to be quiet good. The first speaker was Jay Abraham, and it was said that he's the no. 1 marketing wizard of america and this is the 1st time I heard of him. His talk was on "Billion Dollar Marketing Ideas". He's a billionaire and his business is consulting companies on the right marketing ideas (sounds easy for me :D ). During the 2-day congress one can buy Jay Abraham's Ultimate Package which includes books and cds on business and marketing for discounted price of rm5.6k, while the actual price is nearly 40k...which made me wonder does he really make his wealth by consulting companies..or does he actually did it by selling these stuffs? Ehehe... cause on the 2nd day I've been told that this 'ultimate package' is nearly sold out.. =))

The other speaker that caught my attention was Ron White. He held a world record on memorizing many digits of number. During the seminar he asked 10 participants to give him a total of 40 digit of random numbers, and he amazingly memorized it. He can even read the number in backwards with no problem. MasyaAllah. He even taught us how to do it but I think it will be too long if I to write it here :D .

Overall Alhamdulillah, I learned quite many new things from this seminar, although a few times I fell asleep, especially during the afternoon talk. I guess even a rm1k seminar won't be able to keep me up if it is already my nap time :D . But one thing I discovered from this kind of seminar (including MLM and so on) is they tend to portray that making millions of wealth is easy, while the fact is it isn't not that easy; at least that's what I think.

Next year they will invite the guy from 'Catch Me If You Can' (the real one, not leonardo) to give a talk for the incoming congress. One more thing, although the focus of this congress is on creating billion dollar businesses, I wonder why are there still many people who kept coming to this congress, year after year without fail, but they still haven't become millionaires.. or billionaires, instead, since the focus is on creating billions, not millions. :D .

Layers of Relationship
By Nura Laird

The heart is our inner temple. It's the focus of our healing and transformation, including the development of our primary relationship. Even though God is everywhere, there's something special about our heart as the chalice of God. According to the Sufis, God says, "Neither My heavens nor My earth can contain Me. Only the heart of My beloved can contain Me." By " heart" we don't mean the organ itself; we mean the area of the whole chest from the throat almost down to the solar plexus, and across the chest. The center of this area is a tender place over the sternum. This is the focus of our relationship work.

The heart contains four primary layers. We refer to these layers as "the four worlds," and we label them, from outermost to innermost, nafs, heart, soul, and secret. The first and outermost layer of the heart corresponds to our personality or ego. It includes the physical body and corresponds to the manifest, three-dimensional world of creation. Most people exist primarily in this outer layer of their heart; they experience themselves and the world through the lens of this layer, and don't notice the more subtle, "unseen" levels of existence. This level is defined by our needs, desires, sensory perceptions and egoic identity. When your primary identity resides in this outer layer, you are primarily involved with the material world, which we call "mulk." A relationship that exists on this level primarily revolves around placing expectations on the partner to meet one's own needs and desires. So a typical statement on this level would be: "I need/want you to. "

Traveling deeper, the second layer is called "the giving heart." This is the layer where love comes alive, where a desire for divine relationship and service awakens, where we yearn to give to others and to serve them, as we would want to be served. It's where we access the higher emotions of unconditional love, compassion and beneficence. In existence, this is the realm of jinns, angels, and other non-physical beings, and also contains the energetic etheric level of all of creation. What's contained in this layer is generally considered unreal and unseen by the culture at large. We call this world "malakut." When a couple relates from this world, they naturally want to serve the other, and put the other's needs in front of their own. A typical statement at this level would be: "How can I serve you? How can I enrich your life?"

Behind the giving heart is the third layer, the soul. This layer contains the 99 qualities of God that comprise the human soul. This is where we carry the light of our own individual divinity. It is an inner world of light and expansiveness, a beautiful world to explore. When we live in the soul, we begin to know who we are and why God placed us here on earth. We know our holiness, our purpose. This is deeply fulfilling. As we access the soul, our human qualities become cleaned or unveiled, giving way to the divine qualities that we carry. Thus begins our divine unfoldment. We call this world "jabarut," and it is much more subtle than the other two. In a soul-based relationship, each partner perceives and celebrates the beauty and essence of the other. A typical statement in such a relationship would be: "What a beautiful being you are! How grateful I am to be in relationship with you!"

Deep inside the heart is the fourth layer, which we call "the secret." It is the most subtle. This is the world of God, or "lahut," the realm of the Absolute, where we experience the actual presence of God. This layer is similar to the unified field in physics; it is almost attribute-less. There is no personal identity. It's very subtle, delicate and sacred. It's indefinable, unspeakable, and yet very real. It can feel empty and full at the same time. In this world there is only unity, the One. So partners relating in the unity would not experience their two-ness, nor any differences or distinctions. Their needs are met by their union with God, so they experience only love in the relationship. This is pure being.

To access these worlds, we travel through the layers into the innermost depths of our heart. When we reach to the secret inside our deepest heart, we taste the essence of God and know the truth of what we are. Our whole life, our experience of our self and of everyone and everything changes. If we let our self sink into this dimension and live from this place, we experience our divinity, and know that nothing else exists but God. This is the essence of the Sufi way.

wallahualam.

Java Developer for Sale/Rent

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah... Salam awal muharram.. hari ni dah 4 Muharram 1426. Dah agak lama tak upate blog ni..anyway ntah ada orang bace ntah tak :D ..

Alhamdulillah, masih dipanjangkan usia untuk menempuh tahun baru hijrah. InsyaAllah, semoga keimanan dan ketaqwaan kita semua kpd Allah makin meningkat, masa demi masa, hari demi hari, sehinggalah kita bertemu denganNya di bawah keredhaanNya.

Ok.. just want to update about myself. Dlm 3 weeks ago i started applying for jobs through Jobstreet.com.my and JobsDb.com.my. Mainly i applied for the position Java Developer and Software Engineer.. sampai dlm 30 jobs i applied in one or two days. Tawakkal to Allah.. to let Him give the best for me. Alhamdulillah, tak sampai seminggu dah dpt about 4/5 interview.. tapi satu pun tak dapat attend... Reason? Minggu tu gak lah ada test n kelas still pack. Terpaksalah menolak semua interview yang mendatang. Alhamdulillah dpt gak satu interview by call, tapi since company tu perlukan orang time tu gak, terpaksalah tolak. Since saya insyaAllah will only be available for work after April 2005..not now. Apply awal sbb ingatkan dpt nak luangkan masa utk interview, tp since time table sendiri dah pack... n my Final Year Project pun insyaAllah akan dihantar dlm masa sebulan lagi.. so I really can't make myself available for any other things. Consequently, i withdraw from all the 30 jobs i applied, nanti tak pasal-pasal lak kene black list sebab tolak banyak sangat interview.. insyaAllah, i will start applying again in a short period. Rezeki di tangan Allah; tawakkal only to Allah to let Him give the best, dunia and akhirat.

However i would be more than happy for any Java Developer/Software Engineer/System Analyst job offer from anyone out there. InsyaAllah, i can program using languages other than Java too, including C++, C, Visual Basic, and PHP but I prefer Java since I've been using the language tremendously since my industrial training at Scan Associates about 6 months ago, and now my degree's thesis (or fyp..) are 95% written in Java. Basically what I'm doing for my fyp is an email encryption system written in Java and utilizing BouncyCastle API. Please email me at abdul.muhaimin@gmail.com or the13thshinobi@yahoo.com for my resume or any information regarding my final year project. I would really appreciate it if you did :)

InsyaAllah, till we meet again.. ilal liqo'. Wassalam warahmatullah

The appeal to Moslems from the Chechen Mujahides

The text of the reference of Mujahides of the Chechen Republic to all Moslems of the world has been transferred to the edition of the "Caucasus-center" from the Shariat Committee of the State Credit Obligations - Madzhlisul Shura of the CHRI and the Supreme Shariat court of the CHRI. It is emphasized in the appeal, that this is an amanat (obligation) for each Moslem to bring the appeal of Mujahides of the Chechen Republic to natives and relatives, friends and familiars, neighbors and simple Moslems. Someone has an opportunity to issue a newspaper, a leaflet, someone to distribute the appeal in a mosque and someone to tell about it in the site in the Internet.

This is an appeal to all Moslems: to kings and presidents, princes and ministers, educators and scientists, imams and orators, teachers and professors, scientists of literature and poets, businessmen and the rich, to directors of charitable organizations, and all those who searches for generosity of Allah. There will be peace and blessing of Allah to all of you. This is an appeal from your brothers in the Chechen Republic . This is the appeal, which will remain in your conscience, not an appeal which can be simply heard and forgotten. This appeal is not just a voice of the oppressed, but the appeal of those, who suffer under the yoke of tyranny, but the appeal, which also reminds you of your religion.

We remind you of the rights of Allah and we remind you of your rights before reminding you about our rights.

This is the right of Allah that His slaves were true to him: "Allah has bought from the people their life and their property for the price that they will be in Paradise . They battle in the way of Allah so they kill and are killed. It is really the promise given by Him in Taurat (Torah), Indzhil (Gospel) and the Koran. Who is truer in the precept, than Allah? Then be pleased with the deal, which you have made. It is a great success” (the Koran 9:111).

You have also the right to try and render at any opportunity when Umma is in need:

"Look! You are those, who are called to spend in the name of Allah, and there are such among you who are avaricious. And who is avaricious, this is only due to himself. But Allah is rich (is free from all desires), and you (people) are poor. And if you turn away (from Islam) he will replace you with other people, and they will not be similar to you ". (The Koran 47:38).

We also have the rights which you possess. For our religion those who are tested through and are in deprivations, have the same rights as those who are in comfort:

"There are such among people, who are in comfort and who experience difficulties also; be merciful to those, who are in deprivations and be grateful to Allah that He has granted you well-being".

Your responsibility in relation to us also includes safety of the rights of all the members of Islamic brotherhood: “All the religious people, - men and women - are Auliya (assistants, supporters, friends, patrons) to each other... "(The Koran 9:71)

"Religious people are not anybody others, but brothers... "(The Koran 49:10).

Prophet (MIMB) said: "A Moslem is the brother of each other Moslem; he does not make harm to him and does not leave him alone. To the one, who comes to the aid of his brother during need, Allah will help him during his time of need. The one who facilitates the burden of his brother, Allah will facilitate his burden from (many) burdens in the day of the court".

The prophet also said: "Be (among each other) slaves to Allah and brothers; a Moslem is the brother to each other Moslem; he does not makes evil to him, does not despise and does not offend him".

To all leaders of the Islamic world:

You are obliged to protect your religion and to render glory to it! Are not you angry with spiteful attacks to Islam? Do you remember about the sanctity of the religion of Allah and inviolability of lives of Moslems? Do not you have even insignificant valor and eagerness of great caliph Al Mutazim, who conquered Byzantium to revenge for one Muslim woman offended by a Byzantium soldier?

And what has happened to our Islamic scientists?

What answer will you give us from many textbooks of jurisprudence, which you know by heart and which you teach the students? We remind you of the example of an associate of Abu Talh Al Ansari, who read the words of Allah:

"Rise (for fight) easy and with burdens, young and old" and without fluctuation he ordered his sons: "Prepare me for the fight! Prepare me for the fight!"

Take an example also from Abdullah Ibn Al-Mubarak, who recited the following lines:

Oh, the worshipping in two sacred places, if you saw us (in fight), you would know, and that your worship (as a test) is like a children's game!! If your cheeks are humidified with tears (from worship) we impregnate our spirit with blood (of worship)!!

And what is with the poets of Umma, scientists of literature and doctors?

Remember yours Umma, which was shattered into parts by its enemies! Do you remember the fact that you Umma is lost in the ocean of the deceit created by mass media and organizations of news, which deliberately mislead to upset morals of our brothers and sisters all over the world! Words of the poet are really true:

If they knew the truth, they would hide it,
If they knew evil, they would embellish and trumpeted about it,
And if they did not know anything, they would tell a lie,
If they heard curses, they would jump with joy,
If they heard good, they would hasten to hide it,
They are deaf, when it is spoken about good
They are attentive, when it is spoken about bad".

We call you to stir up this Umma from its somnolence and to remove the blindness, which has blinded its sight and its ability to see and answer wounds of Moslems bleeding everywhere. Really, if you are not responsible for this Umma, than who is responsible for it?

To those whom Allah has tested riches, those of you who achieve brilliant contracts and good deals in business, we represent you the most brilliant contract and the best deal in business! Remember, that if you do not spend your riches today, these riches once will part with you.

Pay attention to the order of Allah: "Trust in Allah and His Envoy and spend what He has made you successors of. And those of you, who have believed and spent (in the way of Allah), will have the great award" (the Koran 57:7)

"What has happened to you, if you do not spend for the name of Allah? Allah possesses the inheritance of heavens and the grounds. Those who spent among you and battled before the conquering of ( Mecca ) are not equal (to those among you who did it later). These are a degree higher, than those who spent and battled later. But Allah promised everybody the best (award). Allah knows what you do". (The Koran 57:10) "Who gives Allah a good loan, He will increase it many times. Allah diminishes and adds (your stocks), and you will return to Him" (the Koran 2:245)

Pay attention to the doctrine of Prophet (MEIB): "Which of you likes money of his successor more, than his own money? They (associates) said: "Oh, the Prophet of Allah, all of us love own money (more, than money of the successors). The prophet answered: your money is what you hasten to spend, and money of your successors is what you do not hasten to spend".

Those of you, who live in comfort and safety, those of you who sleep in comfortable beds in quiet rooms with members of your family and your children, remember the deprivations, which your brothers in the Chechen Republic are having. Remember Mujahides who live in the mountains covered with snow and who live under storms of rockets and weapons of mass destruction. Remember their resistance and bravery before the deprivations. Remember their stability and their breaking victories over the vindictive enemy because your brothers, battle for nothing other but for the sake of your religion of Islam, and for the sake of respecting of your Umma.

The whole world has risen against your brothers - do not leave your brothers in this difficult situation and recollect Abdulla Ibn Amra's words to those who left the Prophet (MEIB) in the day of Uhud:

"Oh, people! I remind you of Allah! Support your people and your prophet against your enemy! They answered: "If we had known, that the struggle was coming nearer, we would not have left you. But we see that there will be no war". Before the face of this irreconcilability Abdullas said: "Let Allah take you away from His enemies, as He will be sufficient for His envoy!"

As the result of this situation Supreme Allah opened the stanza: "And what you have suffered (from disaster) in the day (of fight of Uhud), when there were two armies, was by the permission of Allah that He tested you. And so that He tested hypocrites, it was said by him: "Come, battle in the way of Allah or, (at least), defend". They said: "If we knew, that battle would be, we by all means would follow you". That day they were closer to disbelief, than to belief". (The Koran 3:167)

Remember refugees, both orphans, and old men, and remember the words of the Prophet (MIMB):

"Religious people for each other are like a brick wall, which keeps strongly" and "The example of the religious people in their relations of love and affinity is like a body; if one part of a body hurts, the whole body cannot relax all the night long".

Realize that what is happening to your brothers and sisters in the Chechen Republic can as well happen to you. Also pay attention to the caution of Allah: "And why you do not battle for Allah and for those weak, sick and oppressed among men and women and children who appeal: "My God! Rescue us from this city, inhabitants of which are tyrants, and give us the patron from you and give us from you the assistant". (The Koran 4:75)

We remind to our noble sisters, who unite the numbers of Umma, of the difficult life, which your sisters in the Chechen Republic are having; they live among death and destructions, and under the control of the enemy, barbarous, backward and full of hatred. The uncertainty is great for a possibility to be disgraced, and torture is so close.

Oh, Moslems! Our Umma is one body and if one part of the body is damaged or weakened, then the whole body is damaged and weakened. Remaining indifferent to these signals devastates your spirit of religion! The positions of the person, who appeals to Allah, but declares, that his prays are for protection of his country against disaster, are such. And when the disaster comprehends his country, it declares, that his entreaty will protect his city. But when the disaster comes to his city, he says, that his prays will protect his house.

So, this faithless person speaks: "Allah has presented me with His generosity; He will not let me die with them".

Remember, that your brothers need your Dua (prays for Allah). They realize its importance and appreciate its influence. Recollect, when associate Kutaiba asked about Muhammad Ibn Vasii, and was told, that Muhammad was at the flank of the army with a finger specifying in the sky. Having heard it, Kutaiba answered: "This finger (specifying in the sky) is better, than 100.000 swords".

Prophet (MIMB) reminded us of importance of Dua when he said: "And do you expect that the victory will come for you from nobody else but from the weakest among you?"

In the conclusion we ask Allah to give the victory of His religion and to all His slaves, and to destroy His enemies and to speed up simplification to the Moslems of the Chechen Republic .

Allahu Akbar!

Your brothers Mujahides in the Chechen Republic

A beautiful mind...?

Alhamdulillah, hari ni hari ke 3 untuk trimester 3 delta yang juga officially insyaAllah, my last semester kat MMU. (note the 'official' word there.. :D ) . InsyaAllah, semester ni amik 7 subjek including my final year project, or some called it degree thesis. (I personally liked the latter term, since it sound more gempak. Hohoho.) And honestly in my opinion, 6 subject is not going to be very easy... pejam celik pejam celik mengadap notes. Camner pun insyaAllah, akan sentiasa yakin, berusaha dan bertawakkal kpd Allah, agar Dia memudahkan segalanya. Just to quote from a hadith (I don't really remember the exact words, but somehow it sounds like this..), "Jika ada seribu orang dari kalangan jin dan manusia berkumpul untuk memberikan sesuatu kemudharatan kepada kamu, maka tidaklah akan mereka memberi mampu memberikan kemudharatan itu kepadamu melainkan dengan izin Allah, dan jika ada seribu orang dari kalangan jin dan manusia berkumpul untuk memberikan sesuatu manfaat kepada kamu, maka tidaklah akan mereka mampu memberikan manfaat itu kepadamu melainkan dengan izin Allah...". If Allah wants to make all this easy for me, He can make it so. After all, He is the one who created me, giving me shelter and food, put me here in MMU, allows me to write in this blog, allows me to breath at this moment, and everything that happened and will happen to everything in this universe. He's the Most Compassionnate and Most Merciful to His servants.."Ya Allah, permudahkanlah urusan hambaMu ini Ya Allah, dan janganlah dipersusahkan urusan² hambaMu ini dan berikanlah kepada hambaMu ini kesudahan yang baik."

One more thing, out of the 6 subjects which insyaAllah i'll be taking, 4 of them would be which I consider a reading subject. And to be honest, from my past experiences, i don't deal with these reading subjects very good during lectures. I tend to get very very sleepy during lectures on these subjects, be it whether previously I have enough sleep or not. Things would be different if I'm attending a mathematics or programming (or any psychic-like) class. Somehow this is the case too when I was during my secondary schools.. which to be honest I slept most of the time :P . I found it out that I was better off reading the notes and keep my own pace on these subjects rather than listening to the lecturers. This way, I can continue reading hours by hours without stopping for a long break. Nope, I never meant to be rude to my lecturers when I slept in their class, it's just I've tried staying up but to no avail (and I have tried doing this since my secondary schools.. :D ). Yesterday during the start of a lecture session, the lecturer said that she allows her student to sleep during her class, as long as the student doesn't snore. Ahh.. what a green light.. (Alhamdulillah.. :D ).

The way we behave reflects the way we think. Of course, we are always curious about ourself, don't we? Most online quiz i took concluded that I'm someone who thinks too analytically. I don't know how true this is, but sometimes I think I found myself thinking in a boolean way. Only 0 or 1. No intermediate values. Only good and bad, right and wrong. Perhaps this is another reason why I get very sleepy during certain subject lectures, and not during programming and mathematics class. One more thing, I remembered during my industrial training a few months ago, when I was given a programming task, I can virtually do it non-stop from morning until evening for a few continuos weeks. But when I was asked to write a 2 page report, my brain seemed to jammed, and I straight away fall to sleep.. (while sitting on the office chair.. :D ). It took me almost one whole day to complete the 2 page report.. No wonder a friend says I'm someone who is 'mudah mengantuk' in my testimonial in friendster. But honestly again, it depends on the situation I'm in and what I'm doing, or more particularly, what my brain is doing.. :D

Ok.. insyaAllah jumpa lagi. By the way, it took me approximately 1 hour 20 minit just to write and post this blog. I think this is another reason why I am better of doing something which would let me think in a rather boolean way. No wonder I don't really like talking..wallahualam.

wassalam warahmatullah

Renungan: Titik hitam di hati setiap kali lakukan dosa

APABILA mata rosak, ia boleh menyebabkan buta. Apabila hati rosak kerana terlalu banyak buat dosa, ia juga boleh menjadi gelap dan buta.

Diriwayatkan, seorang ahli sufi dan ulama terkenal selepas zaman Rasulullah, Maimun bin Mahrar, ada berkata: "Apabila seseorang melakukan dosa, tercalit di dalam hatinya satu bintik hitam. Apabila ia berhenti dan bertaubat, hatinya akan kembali berkilat, tetapi jika kembali melakukan dosa, bertambahlah bintik hitam hingga menutup ruang hatinya.

"Apabila dosa terlalu banyak, maka tertutuplah pintu hati dan seterusnya, hati menjadi buta untuk mendapatkan hak dan kebenaran agama. Mereka akan menganggap ringan dan mudah akan urusan akhirat dan menganggap besar dan penting akan urusan dunia hingga fokus tertumpu pada urusan dunia saja.

"Apabila telinga mendengar ketukan urusan akhirat dan segala bahayanya, ketukan itu akan masuk ke telinga sebelah, tetapi tidak menyerap ke dalam hati untuk sedar dan bertaubat."

Begitulah kedudukan segumpal hati di dalam badan. Bagi orang mukmin sejati, di dalam hatinya ada lampu bersinar, tetapi mereka yang lebih mementingkan nafsu dan keduniaan, hati menjadi gelap dan buta.

Selain menjaga pancaindera seperti mulut, mata dan telinga, menjaga hati perlu diberi keutamaan. Jika boleh, elak daripada mengguris dan melukakan hati orang lain, sama ada menerusi perbuatan, percakapan mau pun tulisan.

Munajat Seorang Hamba

Dikala malam sunyi sepi
Bani insan tenggelam dalam mimpi
Musafir yang malang ini pergi membasuh diri
Untuk mengadap Mu oh tuhan

Lemah lutut ku berdiri
Di hadapan Mu tangisanku keharuan
Hamba yang lemah serta hina
Engkau terima jua mendekati
Bersimpuh dibawah duli kebesaranMu

Tuhan hamba belum pasti
Bagaimana penerimaanMu
Dikala mendengar pengaduanku
Ku yakin Kau tak mungkiri

Dalam wahyu yang Kau nuzulkan
Kau berjanji menerima pengaduanku
Dan Kau berjanji sudi mengampunkan ku
Dari segala dosa yang ku lakukan

Ampunan Mu tuhan
Lebih besar dari kesalahan insan
Hamba yakin pada keampunanMu tuhan
Bukan tidak redha dengan ujian
Cuma hendak mengadu pada Mu
Tempat hamba kembali nanti di sana

You can see how much lying is there in the Western media...

I have seen different reports on how many dead and wounded there are on each side of the battle. The Americans say 38 Americans have been killed and 275 wounded and 1200 insurgents killed. However, Sheikh Al-Thulami of the Shura Council in Fallujah says several hundred Americans are dead. Who is correct?

God knows the real numbers. I don’t have correct numbers, but they are sure much more than what they announce. You can see how much lying is there in the Western media, and the statements of the White House. Remember all the statements about the WMD and the links to Al-Qaeda? These are all lies.

The numbers of killed soldiers are much bigger. Last night two military personnel vehicles, full of soldiers, were destroyed— just last night; my son was in Garma and came today and he told me about it, and it wasn’t reported in the media at all.

May Allah helps our brother in Iraq, Palestine, Chechen, Thailand, Kashmir, Afghanistan, and all over the world.

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah..

Alhamdulillah..baru balik dari makan tengahari tadi..minggu ni stay kat campus..tak balik rumah.. actually reserve time ni utk FYP.. tp dah blur2 dah.. insyaAllah nnt baru sambung balik.. sbb lecturer bagitau the most ideal case utk fyp ni.. sem 2 dah siap working model.. basically the most important thing utk FYP kiter mesti siap dlm sem 2 ni.. walaupun that's not always the case, but again, that's the ideal case.. jd insyaAllah camner pun nak cube gak dptkan yg ideal case ni.. dpt ke tak.. wallahualam.. yg penting usaha dulu kan..pastu berdoalah kat Allah.

..actually berusaha dan berdoa kat Allah ni bukan dalam sesetengah perkara je..sepatutnyer kehidupan seorang mukmin ni setiap dari perlakuan dia boleh dikira ibadah, seandai betul niat dan tujuannya dlm sesuatu yg di lakukan itu..

"Sesungguhnya manusia diciptakan bersifat keluh kesah lagi kikir. Apabila ia ditimpa kesusahan ia berkeluh kesah, dan apabila ia mendapat kebaikan ia amat kikir, kecuali orang-orang yang mengerjakan shalat, yang mereka itu tetap mengerjakan shalatnya,.." (Al-Ma'arij, 70: 19-23)

"...dan jangan kamu berputus asa dari rahmat Allah. Sesungguhnya tiada berputus asa dari rahmat Allah, melainkan kaum yang kafir". (Yusuf, 12:87)

Cam takder aper yg nak ditulis sgt dah.. just nak remindkan saye n sahabat² yg bace blog ni.. bacalah Kitab Suci Al-Qur'an dengan terjemahannya setiap hari..kurang² sehari dlm 9/10 ayat..mungkin first2 nak mula memang agak susah..konfirm byk alasan akan keluar dari kepala kita..most of them takder mase nak bace (andai takder mase, dari korang bace blog ni baik lagi baca Kitab Suci Al-Qur'an), takut tersalah bace berdosa, itu dan ini.. tp cuba kita fikirkan..kiter ni orang Islam.. andai bukan Al-Qur'an yg menjadi petunjuk dan panduan hidup kita..apa lg yg jadi tujuan dan panduan hidup kita? Bukankah Kitab Suci Al-Qur'an itu di turunkan sebagai petunjuk? ...and one more thing, bila insyaAllah kiter dah mula bace Al-Qur'an setiap hari.. insyaAllah akan terase nikmatnya..sometimes (n insyaAllah makin lamer makin selalu) sampai rase tak nak stop bace..lebih2 lagi kalau kiter faham ape yg kiter bace. Cuba kiter jadikan Kitab Suci Al-Qur'an ni teman sejati kiter..biler terase keseorangan, bacalah Al-Qur'an.. n bila hati resah, gelisah, sedih atau kecewa..eloklah tunaikan solat sunat..bawa hati kita bertemu dengan penciptanya..jinak²kanlah hati kita untuk mengenali Allah..n adukanlah segala²nya kepada pencipta kita Yang Maha Mendengar, Maha Pengasih dan Maha Penyayang.. insyaAllah confirm, hati akan menjadi tenang-setenang-tenangnya...kalau tak percaya cubelah amalkan dulu :)

"Dan apabila hamba-hamba-Ku bertanya kepadamu tentang Aku, maka (jawablah), bahwasanya Aku adalah dekat. Aku mengabulkan permohonan orang yang berdo'a apabila ia memohon kepada-Ku, maka hendaklah mereka itu memenuhi (segala perintah-Ku) dan hendaklah mereka beriman kepada-Ku, agar mereka selalu berada dalam kebenaran." (Al-Baqarah, 2: 186)

..insyaAllah, sumer ni utk peringatan kiter sumer, especially diri sayer sendiri...

insyaAllah jumpe lagi..wassalam warahmatullah

Kuliah cinta…

Just nak flashback… teringat kembali antara topik² perbincangan sayer dan mun… dlm 4 malam lepas… since dah ramai member² balik rumah utk bercuti…member sorang ni bermalam kat bilik sayer… sebelum tido ngan main game… kitorang berborak² sat… antaranya isu couple… antara yg diborakkan… isu “boyfriend dan girlfriend” atau “couple” yang seolah-olah telah menjadi kebiasaan dalam masyarakat… lebih tepat… seperti satu keperluan… tak perlu utk diberi lebih penjelasan... tgk keliling dah cukup…

Cuma apa yang hendak di sampaikan…sejarah cinta ni bermula kat syurga…jd usahlah akibat nafsu… fitrah yang sepatutnyer indah ni dicemari…sebelum nak bercinta ni… clearkan dulu matlamat… adakah matlamat kite nak bercinta ni selari ngan Islam…? Kalo soalan pertama dah clear… yang kedua… statement yg biase didengar... diamalkan wallahulam… matlamat tidak menghalalkan cara… setakat lafaz sayang sajer tidak menghalalkan aper²… setakat dah mendapat pengiktirafan ibubapa… juga tidak membawa aper²…selagi hak² Allah dlm bab hubungan ini tak ditunaikan… yang seolah-olah menjadi tradisi… walaupun belum bergelar suami isteri… asalkan parents tau… sumer clear… nak diingatkan… halal dan haram ni bukan terletak kat tangan mak ayah kiter… walaupun kita wajib menurut perintah parents kiter… namun yg bertentangan dengan Islam… wajib juga ditolak… kiter sumer dah cukup tua… dah mampu berfikir secara rasional dan matang… usahlah diberi alasan yang kite masih muda… seperti lagu Ada Apa Dengan Cinta…. “Kita masih muda dalam mencari keputusan…” kalo dah tau tak cukup umur... ader hati gak nak jage anak orang tu…hahaha…

Aper² pun... peringatan kat atas tu utk sesaper yg masih terbukak hatinyer… actually setiap peringatan yg kiter beri kat orang lain…adalah khusus untuk diri kiter gak… mungkin sayer mampu bercakap seperti ini... sbb sayer sendiri belum diuji… kerana firman Allah…”tidak samer orang yang diuji dengan orang yg tidak diuji”… namun lihatlah kepada apa yg dicakap, bukannya siape yang bercakap...one more thing…soalan yg biase sayer mintak sesaper yg dah bercouple tanyer pasangan diorang…”Bisakah cinta bersemi, mengundang restu Ilahi…?” ehehe…

Btw kalo ader di antara korang yg fikir sesaper yg tak bercouple ngan berdating ni jumud…rujuk balik sejarah… sebenarnyer korang nilah yang orthodox…sbb amalan bercouple ngan berdating ni dah ader sejak zaman Rome lagi…

Lastly…yang baik datangnyer dari Allah, yang buruk tu dari kelemahan diri sayer sendiri…tinggalkanlah dosa² silam kiter…kiter sumer tak lari dari buat dosa…namun pintu taubat Allah sentiase terbuka… semoga insyaAllah, kiter sumer sentiase memperoleh hidayah petunjuk dariNya, ameen….. ok… assalamualaikum warahmatullah

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah

Court frees Anwar! Sep 2, 04 9:01am
In a 2-1 decision, the country’s highest court today set former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim free after quashing his sodomy conviction. Also freed was his adopted brother Sukma Darmawan Sasmitaat Madja who had been convicted of the same offence. www.malaysiakini.com

Alhamdulillah. Allahuakbar. Hanya tu yg dpt sayer ucapkan sewaktu mendengar berita ttg pembebasan Saudara Anwar Ibrahim, bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia semalam. Sampai hari ni macam tak percaya lagi, seolah-olah satu mimpi. Mimpi yg tak mungkin dapat dimimpikan melainkan tidak kerana rahmat dari Allah Yang Maha Berkuasa dan Maha Penyayang. First time sayer terdengar ttg berita tu, terkejut tak terkata. Cuma dpt melafazkan kalimah Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Alhamdulillah, Allahuakbar. Betapa bersyukurnya kepada Allah; pembebasan bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri itu merupakan satu kemenangan yang amat berharga kepada sistem keadilan di Malaysia.

Sayer rase tak perlu sayer huraikan lagi ttg pembebasan Saudara Anwar Ibrahim, seorang bekas Timbalan Perdana Menteri Malaysia, seorang suami dan seorang ayah itu. Jika rakyat Malaysia merasakan amat gembira di atas pembebasan beliau, apatah lagi anak dan isterinya. Jika penyokong-penyokongnya mengalirkan air mata kegembiraan, tentu tidak terucap kegembiraan anak isterinya di atas keputusan semalam setelah hampir 6 tahun ayah/suami mereka dirampas dari hidup mereka.

Hari ni masih tidak terucap lagi betapa gembira dan bersyukurnya di atas keputusan mahkamah semalam. Masih terasa seperti satu mimpi. Betapa beruntungnya sahabat² seperjuangan yang bersama² menunggu di mahkamah semalam. Gambar² media menunjukkan ramai dari mereka yang berpeluk-pelukan dan menangis keharuan dengan keputusan semalam. Laungan Allahuakbar dan selawat kepada Baginda Muhammad s.a.w. merupakan tanda bersyukur kepada Pencipta Yang Maha Agung yang menjanjikan kemenangan kepada mereka yang berjuang di JalanNya. Saham yg melonjak naik juga merupakan petanda yang insyaAllah, satu perubahan yang baik untuk Malaysia.

Sayer sebagai seorang rakyat Malaysia biasa sebelum ini juga telah putus asa dari sebarang keputusan mahkamah; masih teringat lagi sehari sebelum semalam, sewaktu diberitahu yg keesokannya adalah peluang terakhir untuk Saudara Anwar Ibrahim di dalam proses kehakiman, sayer hanya mampu berdoa agar Allah memberikan yg terbaik untuk beliau dunia dan akhirat. Semoga beliau tabah dengan ujian dari Allah; setiap ujian dari Allah adalah merupakan tanda sayang Allah kepada hambaNya.

Sayer terus melakukan sujud syukur dan solat sunat syukur di atas rahmat dari Tuhan Yang Maha Pengasih dan Penyayang setelah mendengar berita semalam. Alhamdulillah. Keputusan semalam itu adalah sesuatu yang amat mengejutkan, bukan kerana mempercayai yang saudara Anwar terlibat dengan tuduhan yang dilemparkan, tetapi amat terkejut apabila mahkamah membuat keputusan yang menyebelahi anwar, yang di mana kebanyakan rakyat Malaysia telah hilang kepercayaan terhadap sistem perundangan di Malaysia sebelum ini. Dalam bahasa yg mudah, Anyone who are able to think would never find Anwar Ibrahim quilty as previously convicted.

Tahniah kepada mereka² yg terus bersama menempuh ranjau yang berduri bersama saudara Anwar Ibrahim; tahniah kepada keluarga beliau yang tabah menghadapi segala ujian daripada Tuhan; tahniah kepada rakyat Malaysia yang terus berdoa utk Malaysia yang lebih baik; tahniah kepada pejuang² Islam yang tetap di atas landasan kebenaran yang mengharapkan kemenangan hanya daripada Allah Taa'la. Tahniah. Tahniah. Tahniah. Alhamdulillah.

Marilah kita semua berdoa semoga insyaAllah, saudara Anwar Ibrahim selamat menjalankan pemeriksaan kesihatannya di Jerman dan semoga Malaysia menjadi tempat yang lebih baik. Anggaplah ini semua sebagai rahmat dari Tuhan Yang Maha Pemurah dan ujian utk mengangkat darjat kemuliaan hamba² yang dikasihiNya. Semoga kita semua tetap berada dan berjuang di jalanNya yang lurus, yang menjanjikan kebahagiaan dunia akhirat. Ingatlah yang perjuangan masih panjang. Kemenangan yang sebenar hanyalah apabila kita berjaya memasuki syurgaNya di bawah keredhaanNya. Subhanallah. Allahamdulillah. Allahuakbar. Allahuakbar. Allahuakbar.

InsyaAllah jumpa lagi. Wassalam warahmatullah.

Warkah buat pemuda² Islam...

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah...

Tercatat sudah dalam sejarah
Tujuh pemuda yang beriman
Melarikan diri ke dalam gua
Demi menyelamatkan iman

Disangka tidur hanya sehari
Rupanya 309 tahun
Zaman bertukar beberapa kurun
Di bumi bersejarah Undhun

Begitulah kuasa Ilahi
Kepada ashabhul kahfi
Tiada mustahil di dunia ini
Jika kita beriman dan bertakwa

Tercatat sudah dalam sejarah
Tujuh pemuda yang beriman
Tulang belulang berserakan
Tulang dari binatang tunggangan
Juga anjing yang dinjanjikan syurga
Fitnir yang mulia

Raihan - Ashabul Kahfi

InsyaAllah, byk yg kiter sumer leh amik iktibar dari kisah Ashabul Kahfi ini. Surah al-Kahfi iaitu surah ke 18, dan ayat 9 hingga 26 menceritakan kisah tentang beberape orang pemuda yang melarikan diri ke dalam gua (kahfi bermaksud gua) demi utk menyelamatkan iman mereka.

Cuba kite reflek ngan kehidupan dan suasana sekeliling kiter sekarang; perbezaan ketara antara pemuda² pilihan yg kisah mereka dicatatkan dalam Al-Qur'an, dgn pemuda² yg bergelar pemuda Islam sekarang. Pemuda² Ashabul Kahfi sanggup melarikan diri ke dalam gua demi utk menyelamatkan aqidah mereka; pemuda² Islam sekarang sanggup mengalirkan air mata apabila melihat artis² pujaan mereka gagal dlm 'perjuangan' mereka di arena hiburan.

Mereka yang menentang hiburan² seperti Akademi Fantasia dan Sure Heboh dianggap sebagai Extremist. Mereka yg mempertahankannya menganggap diri mereka sebagai Islam moderate. Pada hakikatnya tiada Islam Moderate, tiada Islam Extremist; yang ada hanya satu Islam sahaja, iaitu Islam yg berlandaskan Al-Qur'an dan As-Sunnah. Jika hiburan seperti Akademi Fantasia dan Sure Heboh itu benar dari kaca mata Al-Qur'an dan As-Sunnah, maka teruskanlah. Tetapi jika hiburan² seperti ini adalah bercanggah dgn apa yg dinyatakan dlm Al-Qur'an dan As-Sunnah, seelok-eloknya berhentilah dari menyaji kehidupan kita dengan benda² yg tidak diredhai Allah. Jika kita masih tidak sedar akan hakikat ini, tunggulah sehingga Allah datangkan keputusanNya. Sedarlah, yang kita ni hanyalah sekadar hambaNya. Kalau bukan keredhaan Allah yg kita cari, tidak bermakna kita hidup di dunia ini.

"Dan jika kamu berpaling nescaya Dia akan menggantikan (kamu) dengan kaum yang lain dan mereka tidak akan seperti kamu." (Surah Muhammad, 47: 38)

Mungkin ini yg seperti Rasul kita Muhammad s.a.w. pernah berkata, yang umat Islam di akhir zaman ini amat ramai bilangannya, namun keadaan umat ini tak ubah seperti buih² di lautan.

InsyaAllah, sebagai peringatan buat kiter sumer, especially diri sayer sendiri.
Wallahualam. InsyaAllah jumpa lagi. Wassalam warahmatullah.

Destinasi Cinta - Mestica

Menyingkap tirai hati
Mengintai keampunan
Di halaman subur rahmat Mu, Tuhan
Tiap jejak nan bertapak
Debu kejahilan
Akan ku jirus dengan madu keimanan

Tak ternilai airmata dengan permata
Yang bisa memadamkan api neraka
Andai benar mengalir dari nasuha nurani
Takkan berpaling pada palsu duniawi

Destinasi cinta yang ku cari
Sebenarnya terlalu hampir
Hanya kabur kerana dosa di dalam hati
Telah ku redah daerah cinta
Yang lahir dari wadah yang alpa
Tiada tenang ku temui
Hanya kecewa menyelubungi

chorus*
Ku gelintar segenap maya
Dambakan sebutir hakikat
Untuk ku semai menjadi sepohon makrifat
Moga dapat ku berteduh di rendang kasih-Mu

Namun ranjaunya tidak akan sunyi
Selagi denyut nadi belum berhenti
Durjana syaitan kan cuba menodai
Segumpal darah bernama hati
(Destinasi cinta Ilahi)

Lestarikan wadi kalbuku, oh Tuhanku
Leraikan aku dari pautan nafsu
Biarpun sukar bagiku melamar redha-Mu
Namun masihku mengharap ampunan-Mu
Wahai Tuhanku… Ya Allah…

Some kind of reunion :D

Assalamualaikum warahmatullah...

InsyaAllah this will be my first official posting. Previously my blog was located at imin.blog-drive.com , but I decided to change my host to blogspot.com instead because of some reasons.

For starter...actually I tried registering imin.blogspot.com, but it seems someone who was born on 2003 and whose name is quite similiar to mine has already taken that name...so it seems that I've a junior :D

Ok, then i tried registering with the name imin83, but it seems that 'someone' has already taken that name too..uh.. so after some while i decided to register with the name khalid-al-walid.blogspot.com and register one more with the name imin13.blogspot.com as a mirror (not many people host a website mirror on the same server actually...)

Just out of my curiosity.. i surfed to imin83.blogspot.com to see who has taken that name.. perhaps there's other imin jr...when I got surprised with the headline 'Never let your mind sit idle' and the phrase 'A mind is a terrible thing to waste' at the site. My first reaction was, 'Hey, that's my line!' * ..that's when I realized imin83.blogspot.com actually belonged to me :P . uh uh... honestly I totally forgot about it. According to my posting there, I actually registered with the name about 6 months ago. Alhamdulillah I still remember the password. Some kind of reunion :D

ok.. insyaAllah more posting later
