One step ahead

Assalam.

Just this week, I learned something. That tarbiyah and dakwah do not only have softness and gentleness, because at one point, hardness and strictness are significant.

Maybe, maybe because at this point, we are like soldiers. We have company of our own, and we have responsibility, and when we fail, we put opportunities of saving others' life at stake.

At this point, it is not only about ourself. And it is not about we TRY to invite others. We are trained in and out, and when we fail, we have to face consequences.

It is time for me to wake up, the time is over for me, that when I make mistakes, I will be having a 'soft and gentle' heart-to-heart talk. Not at all

This time, when I fail, I will be facing a harder consequence. But, nonetheless, this level strikes me with its seriousness. And I realize, that what I choose to be doing and to dedicate myself for, is not optional for me anymore. And Insya Allah, I will be more ready for this.

Because at this point, logically it is impossible for me just to walk away after what I have learned, and known, and been through. And this 'long-life dedication' is really serious. We choose to carry something noble despite our own weaknesses and mistakes, and we do not make petty excuses of not doing this, and therefore, we need to be really serious.

Serious does not mean fanatic. And Alhamdulillah, I am trained to digest this thing really well. Wallahu a'lam.

At different hand, it becomes different. Knowledge is power.

p/s 1 : Doakan mereka yang di Libya. Mercenaries dah tembak berpuluh nyawa, dan tentera dah mula bersatu dengan demonstrator. 

p/s 2 : 'Dia' ada kata, Kelantan bina dua masjid je dalam dua puluh tahun. As a Kelantanese, rasa tercabar. Tapi, relaks dulu. Tengok apa jadi. Dah tengok molek-molek pun, saya dapati dia punya perkataan is 'what the heck' dan 'kepala lutut'. Ini tarbiyah Mashitah ke ni? Jawab. =.=

p/s 3 : Esok hari baru.

'Deal'

I remind the three numbers each time I press my calculator.

Sometimes, you need motivation and inspiration to excel and to succeed.

Once in a blue moon, you have to be punished too.

Even when you accidentally made mistake, unintentionally, slipped, be it.

So, be it. I have been punished. Extend and tighten.

I accept, thanks. Botol air? :)

I went to the temple to find God, I did not find Him there,

I went to the church, He was not there too,

I went to the mosque, I did not find Him,

I looked into my heart, He was there.

He's a Wahabi?

Assalam.

Saya bukan nak mengulas mengenai siapa betul dan siapa salah.

Cuma, baru semalam saya dikejutkan, junior saya, dituduh wahabi salafi dan sesat. Junior ini telah saya kenali sedari saya sekolah rendah. Dan kami telah ke banyak program bersama, kami minat sukan yang sama iaitu basketball, juga kami kenal keluarga masing-masing. Rapat sangat.

Mengapa? Dia hanya berkongsi tentang hadith shahih mengenai doa sebelum makan dan selepas makan. Tiada mengutuk, tidak menyesatkan orang, juga tak marah-marah, tak mention pasal bida'ah. Hanya berkongsi apa yang dia baru belajar. What do you expect? He's an IRK student. He won't be sharing about rational function or Lorentz Transformation. Saya kenal sangat dia. Dia mungkin berharap kawan-kawannya dapat beramal dengan lebih baik. We are like that, if something better comes in case of Hadith or pendapat, we are open and go for it. That's what I thought. And I thanked him. Tiba-tiba, tahu-tahu komen kat bawah dah ada kena kutuk wahabi salafi sesat. Peliknya. Terkejut pun ada juga.

No need to comment about the one who accused him. I can cut his arguments straight to his neck - with discrepancies and fallacies, BUT, hey, are we forgetting what do we mean to each other? We are brothers. And brothers don't do that, especially in the name of Islam. If I think my friend is wrong, I will ask him if I'm not sure, and I will tell him he's wrong in a much better way. Never will I say, he's sesat. Whoever do this, I wonder, are they really want people to know the truth and convey the message for the love to his brothers, or they just want to be right and others to be wrong? Because real da'ie will bear in mind that every mad'u is invaluable and to lose them is a loss to Ummah.

Budaya saling menyesatkan makin menebal sekarang. Mungkin sebab kurangnya sifat bertolak ansur, dan kurangnya ilmu dalam Public Relations menyebabkan sesuatu mesej itu kadangkala disampaikan secara keras dan 'blunt'. Dari kedua-dua belah pihak. Saya tidak mewakili mana-mana pihak, namun saya ingin menjadi antara orang yang menyatukan kedua golongan ini. Alangkah baiknya kalau dua-dua ini disatukan.

Mesej yang dibawa tak salah, ianya methodology dan adab berikhtilaf yang kurang. Jangan diambil yang 'extreme' untuk mewakili general population. Pendapat mungkin dari kedua-dua belah pihak ada yang sedikit 'pelik' dan 'keras' namun ia tak bermakna pendapat yang sedikit itu mewakili pandangan umum sesuatu golongan. Kenal dahulu elok-elok. Saya sempat rapat dengan kedua-dua belah golongan, dan masya Allah akhlaq kedua-dua kawan yang saya kenali di DQ baik dan soleh. Dan kedua-duanya tidak saling mengutuk dan menyesatkan. Apabila mereka memahami adab ikhtilaf, cantik hasilnya. Saling menghormati.

Sahaja nak mengingatkan, dalam Quran kita ini Ummatan Wasatan..Ummah pertengahan. Dalam Quran cakap seimbang. Dalam kelas Islamic Studies mengingatkan tentang kepentingan menjadi sederhana.

خير الامور أوسطها

 “Sebaik-baik perkara adalah tengah-tengahnya (sederhana).” (Hadis riwayat Baihaqi)

Jadi, buat Muslim yang dicintai, jangan kita sembarangan menuduh orang sesat. Kita kena ikut macam Al-Quran ajar kita, 

Nabi Muhammad (s.a.w) ialah Rasul Allah; dan orang-orang yang bersama dengannya bersikap keras dan tegas terhadap orang-orang kafir yang (memusuhi Islam), dan sebaiknya bersikap kasih sayang serta belas kasihan kasihan sesama sendiri (umat Islam). Engkau melihat mereka tetap beribadat rukuk dan sujud, dengan mengharapkan limpah kurnia (pahala) dari Tuhan mereka serta mengharapkan keredaanNya. Tanda yang menunjukkan mereka (sebagai orang-orang yang soleh) terdapat muka mereka – dari kesan sujud (dan ibadat mereka yang ikhlas). Demikianlah sifat mereka yang tersebut di dalam Kitab Taurat; dan sifat mereka di dalam Kitab Injil pula ialah: (bahawa mereka diibaratkan) sebagai pokok tanaman yang mengeluarkan anak dan tunasnya, lalu anak dan tunasnya itu menyuburkannya, sehingga ia menjadi kuat, lalu ia tegap berdiri di atas (pangkal) batangnya dengan keadaan yang mengkagumkan orang-orang yang menanamnya. (Allah menjadikan sahabat-sahabat Nabi Muhammad, s.a.w dan pengikut-pengikutnya kembang biak serta kuat gagah sedemikian itu) kerana Ia hendak menjadikan orang-orang kafir merana dengan perasaan marah dan hasad dengki – dengan kembang biaknya umat Islam itu. (Dan selain itu) Allah telah menjanjikan orang-orang yang beriman dan beramal soleh dari mereka, keampunan dan pahala yang besar. [Al Fath -43]

Ayat ini kalau baca memang sedap. Cantik bahasa dia, seindah maksud dan mesejnya. Contohi dan fahami sirah. Kalau dirasakan ianya boleh membawa perpecahan, diamkan. Atau bawakan ia dengan cara baru. Atau, biar generasi itu terdidik dahulu. Terdidik dengan tarbiah. Saya melihat, mereka yang sudah terdidik dengan tarbiyah tiada masalah dalam berinteraksi dengan pembaharuan. Sama ada di'smooth'kan ketajaman pembaharuan, atau dihormatinya sebagaimana yang diajarkan dalam adab berikhtilaf.  Sebagaimana Abdullah bin Mas'ud berselisih pendapat sehingga ke tahap kritikal dengan 'Uthman bin 'Affan kerana 'Uthman menunaikan solat zohor 4 rakaat, sementara Nabi, Abu Bakr dan 'Umar menqasharkan dua rakaat, semasa haji. Akhirnya, Abdullah bin Mas'ud mengikuti Uthman, apabila ditanya mengapa, beliau menjawab, "Sesungguhnya perpecahan itu lebih buruk".

Hebatnya sahabat-sahabat Rasulullah, kefahaman mereka tidak memberi mereka lesen untuk menyesatkan, juga tidak memberi mereka lesen untuk memecah-belahkan. Sebagaimana kefahaman Hasan Al Banna yang meninggalkan golongan yang bergaduh untuk solat 20 atau 8 rakaat, dan mengajak kepada sesuatu yang lebih tunjang, bukan cabang. Di akhir ajakan itu, masyarakat belajar erti toleransi dan kepelbagaian pendapat, tanpa menuding jari itu sesat ini sesat.

Saranan -

1. Golongan tradisionalis. Belajar statistics kan? Pernah dengar measure of central tendency kan? Guna pelajaran itu baik-baik. Ada mean, ada median, ada mode. Pilih lah mana-mana. Sesuai sekali guna median sebab ianya sesuai untuk set of data yang ada extreme value. Ambillah yang pertengahan. Jangan dilayan semua sama. Jangan senang-senang  dituduh sesat kalau tak tahu hujung pangkal. Jangan juga buat 'hasty generalization'. Kalau ada yang bukan mana-mana golongan mengharap perkara lebih baik, dibawanya hadith lebih sahih dengan aman, interaksi elok-elok sekiranya rasa ia boleh membawa perpecahan. Jangan dituduh sesat, anda secara tidak langsung sedang menolak dia jauh dari golongan anda dan tekan dia lebih dalam untuk memasuki golongan yang anda kurang sukai. Jadi, apa pointnya menegur kalau macam itu?

2. Golongan bawa hadith. Silakan. Cuma, cara dan tempat itu kena bertempat sikit. Macam Imam Syafi'e pernah cakap, dia benci ditegur dikhalayak ramai. Kenapa? Malu. Kita dalam nak membawa perkara bersih macam nas-nas ni, kita kena bawa dengan molek dan sempurna. Nabi dicaci dan dimaki bukan sebab cara beliau yang blunt dan kasar, dan tak melihat sensitiviti. Dalam usul fiqh dan fikrah pun ada belajar tajarrud dan tadarruj.
Tajarrud - Bersihkan dan kosongkan fikrah dulu. Biar yang nak disampaikan tak dihijab, oleh paranoid perubahan atau ria' atau jumud.
Tadarruj - Proses membaikpulih secara beransur-ansur. Khalifah Umar Abd Aziz pernah berkata kepada anaknya apabila didesak membuat perubahan drastik,

“Jangan tergesa-gesa, ya anakku, sesungguhnya Allah SWT mencela arak di dalam al-Quran dua kali, dan mengharamkannya di kali yang ketiga, dan aku bimbang kiranya aku membawa kebenaran ini kepada manusia secara sekali gus (drastik) maka mereka meninggalkannya juga sekali gus, maka berlakulah fitnah.”

Jadi, kalau betul-betul nak buat pembaikan, hormati sensitiviti dan 'adat masyarakat. Boleh diubah, tapi biar diubah dengan berhikmah. Saya harap sangat tak wujud dichotomy yang tegang dan jelas pada masa hadapan  nanti. Ubati sekarang elok-elok.

Enjit-enjit semut, siapa sakit naik atas..?

Kalau nak sangat puaskan nafsu menyesatkan orang, mari datang kolej. Dalam kelas saya je yang dah Muslim, ha, puaskan nafsu dalam kelas saya ok? Just Kidding :)

Rindu :'(

Aku cuma rindu.. Itu sahaja. Aku jenis orang tak tahan rindu. Lepas rindu, rindu lagi. Lepas itu, rindu. Rindu lagi, sampai bila-bila.

Aku pun buka buku-buku Sirah dalam bilik aku. Sesak dada, sebab rindu sangat. Aku tukar buku, ambil buku pasal sahabat Nabi. Lagi la kuat rindu.

Akhir sekali aku ambil Quran. Lepas baca aku peluk cium Quran kuat-kuat. Mushaf aku tercabut sikit dah kulit luar dia. Sayang dekat Quran. Lega sikit rindu.

Ada orang pernah pesan, jaga Quran elok-elok. Kalau dalam rukun Iman, antara kesemua rukun itu, Quran sahaja yang boleh kita pegang cium peluk baca bawa ke mana-mana. Cinta pada Allah, baca Quran. Rindu pada Nabi baca Quran dan selawat.

Allahumma Solli 'ala Muhammad.. wa 'ala ali Muhammad.

Cabaran
Muhammad bin Abdullah. Akhlaq beliau dah cukup mempesonakan. Terngiang lagi di telinga, sahabat seusrah di Alamin dulu mengingatkan, sunnah terbesar nabi, ialah akhlaq. Dibacanya surah Al Qalam.

Dan bahawa sesungguhnya engkau mempunyai akhlak yang amat mulia -ayat 4

Cuma, aku masih gagal hidupkan rindu aku menjadi amalan seharian. Mesti ada terlepas.
Niat aku juga belum terlaksana lagi. Nak tahu basis dan hadith serta dalil setiap 'ibadah yang kita buat. Baru bertambah cinta pada Nabi. Bukan tahu untuk berhujah, tidak langsung. Cuma, nak rasa 'syok'nya buat apa yang nabi buat. Aku tak nak selawat buta-buta. Aku nak bila selawat, aku senyum tak sabar nak jumpa nabi. Atau menitis air mata, Nabi baik sangat, masa nak wafat ingat ummat, aku? Aku nak tebus hidup aku dulu-dulu. Cinta-cinta monyet dan segala bagai yang aku terbazir..

Rindu aku memang masih tak tertahan. Cuma, kalau aku rindu nabi, tapi tak buat macam nabi buat, apa aku nak cakap pada nabi nanti? Nabi ada sahabat yang persistent - Bilal dijemur tengah panas dan diletak batu besar. Abu Dzar dibelasah satu Mekah sehingga pengsan. Khabab bin Arat yang mana kita panggil kebab sempena nama beliau, diseksa dengan diseret badan dan punggung beliau atas bara api, sehingga bara api itu padam bukan sebab air, tapi disebabkan darah dan lemak dari badan beliau. Sumayyah mati disula. Mus'ab bin Umair syahid tak bertangan dengan tombak di dada. Talhah tahan panahan dan tombak dengan badan beliau ketika perang Uhud melindungi Nabi, sehingga Abu Bakar mengatakan 'Perang Uhud milik Thalhah'. Abu Ubaidah patah giginya demi mencabut besi dari pipi nabi.

Nak kata kita punya cabaran lagi hebat? Kita dah cuba tapi tak dapat? Banyak lagi masuk list pasal cabaran nabi dan sahabat - nak dibandingkan, Subhanallah tak terbanding. Tapi zaman mereka ada nabi, zaman kita tak ada. Itulah.. :(

Nabi lahir didahului dengan tanda-tanda manusia agung. Cahaya keluar daripada Aminah. Api Majusi yang sudah beratus tahun membakar, terpadam. Gerbang-gerbang istana Kisra runtuh. Gereja-gereja di Syam menyembah bumi. Bagaikan sinar baru, menerangi alam.

Baginda mencintai orang miskin, menghubungkan silaturrahim, mengasihi yang muda, mencintai yang tua. Orang yang sangat baik. Anak yatim. Kalau ada elemen-elemen yang boleh buat kita cinta pada seseorang, semua ada pada Nabi Muhammad. Nabi berkuasa, tapi nabi juga menjadi juga hamba. Nabi memimpin negara, nabi juga menjahit baju yang koyak. Nabi memerangi orang kafir, nabi juga menyayangi anak-anak yatim dan mencintai kanak-kanak. Nabi miskin harta, namun satu Madinah gembira kerana kekayaan hatinya. Nabi berkuda ke perang, nabi juga berlumba dengan isteri beliau.

Nak cinta nabi, kena kenal. Bukan sekadar di mulut.

Dari Anas radhiyallahu ‘anhu bahwasanya ada seseorang yang bertanya kepada Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam tentang hari kiamat. Ia berkata, “Kapan hari kiamat terjadi?” Maka beliau shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam balik bertanya, “Apa yang telah engkau persiapkan untuknya?” Ia menjawab, “Tidak ada sama sekali. Hanya saja, sesungguhnya saya mencintai Allah dan Rosul-Nya.” Maka beliau bersabda, “Engkau bersama orang yang engkau cintai.” Anas pun mengatakan, “Tidaklah kami berbahagia dengan sesuatu seperti halnya kebahagiaan kami dengan sabda Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, “Engkau bersama orang yang engkau cintai.” Anas berkata, “Karena saya mencintai Nabi, Abu Bakar dan Umar. Dan saya berharap saya bersama mereka karena kecintaan saya kepada mereka, meskipun saya tidak beramal seperti amal mereka.” [1]

_________________________________________________

Sangat-sangat rindu. 

Aku nak sangat jumpa nabi.. Nak peluk, salam tangan, nak nabi belai kepala aku, nak nabi kucup dahi aku. Nak jadi makmum belakang nabi. Nak talaqqi Quran dengan nabi. Nak kena tegur kesalahan dengan nabi. Nak kena puji dengan nabi. Aku nak nabi senyum dan cakap pada aku yang aku dah jadi umat dia yang sangat baik pada akhir zaman kat syurga nanti. Aku nak kenal Abu Bakar, aku nak kenal Umar, aku nak kenal dan jumpa semua sahabat.. Aku nak bersama dengan nabi di syurga nanti.. Ya Allah, makbulkanlah. Kau dah cipta makhluk seindah ini, temukanlah aku dengan beliau..

Hanya satu jalan - bawa mesej nabi. Amalkan dan sebarkan..Selawat dan 'izzah.

Allahumma Solli 'ala Muhammad.. wa 'ala ali Muhammad.

Tainted

Alone.

I often wonder, where did they all go? Of all the knowledge I have been learning from tadika till now.

Their absence often kills me. Or, maybe they are not absent. I fail to make them present.

Don't go.. please.

Soul-less. It is frightening. You see someone, you feel no love towards them. No feeling at all. No positive, no negative. Yet most of the time, they occupy the most in your life. When you see your friends, you greet them with normal expectation, just like people always do. You fail to invite feelings of happiness, welcome, and love. Yet you don't hate them at all. It is just, the feeling inside you does not exist.

On the outside, you look normal. But inside, it is a void. Nothing. Perhaps darkness. The way you react with people and life is just an effort to respect normality of life. Refuse to really deal the life with your inside, afraid it might reveal something in you that you yourself might fail to face the fact bravely.

And things get worse when you know and learn more compared to others, and you still keep learning and knowing, but the passion you expect from doing it seems to fade away. You seem to be dedicating your life with knowledge and its constituents, because you know, when you know you will understand. But instead of becoming nearer to God, it feels like you are drifting away far from God.

Am I looking through the wrong lens?

Or I am missing something?

It is like something is blocking my soul from inviting awareness from what I have learned.

But what, is the thing that is blocking?

I'm hoping to find the answers.

I miss my old life. Everyday I breath love and warmth, akhlaq and respect and many other things.

Looks like I need to find it on my own right?

Win it back.

Thank to Syazwan for providing a bit enlightenment about this.

It helps a bit.

In the end, my soul is tainted.

Saat istimewa Valentine

Assalam.

Aku menulis ini bukan nak cakap pasal cinta, aku memang bukan orang yang layak nak cakap pasal cinta sememangnya. Tapi, sebagai seorang Muslim yang cintakan aqidahnya, seorang manusia yang rindukan haruman etika dan tamadun, seorang pencinta moral yang risau akan kelangsungan sifat kemanusiaan, juga sebagai warga Malaysia yang benci apabila orang Islam buat-buat tak nampak apa yang jadi dengan sekeliling dengan alasan 'toleransi', juga benci apabila orang belum Islam buat-buat tak faham tentang apa yang mereka buat, aku nak ingatkan kita sama-sama kalau kita tak bendung sekarang, lagi banyak nyawa akan hilang.

Aku faham kondisi hari ini, lain macam zaman dahulu. Dulu nak berhubung, paling kurang pun bawah pokok tepi jalan kampung. Tak pun berdua-duaan tepi sawah. Jarang dengar tertebuk sana-sini. Tapi sekarang memang lain. Di hujung jari katakan. Kalau nak berhubung, boleh terus. Taip dan tekan. Video call ada. MMS ada. Semua ada. Itu baru medium. Cuma nak beritahu, di Malaysia semua benda ini dah ada. Tinggal nak pilih sahaja.

Hari ini nak kata tak duduk dengan perempuan sebelah menyebelah pun memang tak betul la. Di LRT, di dalam kelas, di kafe. Semua kita duduk dengan perempuan dan berlainan jantina. Group discussion, lab group, assignment, dan macam-macam lagi. Cuma, yang aku kecewa, bila kita campurkan nafsu dan juga keperluan. Kita campur-adukkan 'kemodenan' dan 'kenikmatan'. Trend yang sangat mengelirukan dan menakutkan. Aku pun takut, takut satu hari nanti aku termasuk dalam golongan macam itu. Golongan yang keliru. Dasar pandang Barat - silakan. Atas dasar apa? Untuk kemodenan, juga etika bekerja, dan lain-lain silakan. Untuk akhlaq, tingkahlaku, dan worldview? Jangan. Orang hebat-hebat bukan orang yang rosak akhlaq mereka. Di dalam cerita mereka sudah cukup untuk buktikan, yang mereka ini bukan seperti Barat yang kita lihat. Flash of Genius, The Beautiful Mind, dan banyak lagi. Tokoh-tokoh kemajuan lebih ramai yang cintakan keluarga, setia pada isteri juga berbudi bahasa, pakaian mereka bertamadun, berbanding mereka yang menganut hedonisme. Kita ada kuasa untuk memilih dan menapis. Kita boleh makan ayam, tapi jangan kita telan sekali dengan tulangnya.

Ajak pilih side
Hari ini, aku nak menulis untuk ingatkan semua supaya kita mula memilih side. Pilih pihak mana kita nak berjuang. Sebab satu hari nanti, pilihan kita akan membentuk masa depan kita dan anak-anak kita, cucu dan cicit.

“There have been campaigns promoting ‘no panties’ on Valentines Day and even free hotel room offers for unmarried couples. We must stop such practices here as these are sinful activities”
Dipetik daripada Ketua Pemuda Pas, Ustaz Nasaruddin Tantawi di msn.com.

Rasa kita boleh pilih mana baik mana buruk. Jangan pandang 'on the surface' sahaja. I'm not talking about this campaign only. But behind it. The actual mindset. Perhaps this is a tease. But, dumb people will take it seriously and not wearing underwear during that day. We'll see. Prove your true love by not wearing panties? Isn't it might be more suitable to say, prove your lust? :) Aku nak kita tengok di sebalik kempen ini. Budaya atau mindset yang meng'akar' masyarakat kita. Mencengkam sehingga keliru mana satu baik, mana satu buruk. Yang mana kalau St. Valentine hidup pada hari ini, mesti dia sedih dengan apa yang terjadi. Hari di mana dia sepatutnya diraikan dengan sesuatu yang sejati menjadi hari yang bakal mencatat peristiwa-peristiwa berdarah. Hari yang melihat ramai benih-benih tercambah. St Valentine mati pada 14 Febuari 270 dalam mempertahankan Kristian (Catholic Encyclopedia). Dia mati memperjuangkan agama dia, orang duduk sambut perkara yang menghancurkan agama. Apa yang baik, apa yang buruk? Well, some say morality is subjective, why don't we take a look at something objective?
_________________________________________________________
1. Buang bayi
Dari tahun 2005 sehingga Januari 2011, sebanyak 517 kes pembuangan bayi dilaporkan.
203 orang bayi lelaki
164 orang bayi perempuan
159 yang tak dikenal pasti jantina kerana mayat reput.


2. Anak ibu bapa tak sempat nikah -Sumber
Berdasarkan kepada laporan rasmi, Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara (JPN) melaporkan terdapat lebih 257,000 sijil kelahiran didaftarkan tanpa catatan nama bapa, sejak tahun 2000 hingga pada bulan Julai 2008.

Ini bermakna secara purata, 2,500 kes anak luar nikah direkodkan pada setiap bulan atau 83.3 kes pada setiap hari. Jika diunjurkan lagi, satu kes pendaftaran anak luar nikah berlaku dalam setiap 17 minit 17 saat!

Pecahan mengikut negeri:

Selangor = 12,836 orang
Perak = 9,788 orang
Kuala Lumpur = 9,439 orang
Johor = 8,920 orang
Sabah = 8,435 orang
Negeri Sembilan = 4,108 orang
Pahang = 3,677 orang
Kedah = 3,496 orang
Pulau Pinang = 3,412 orang
Melaka = 2,707 orang
Kelantan = 1730 orang
Perlis = 691 orang
Sarawak = 617 orang
Terengganu = 574 orang
JUMLAH = 70,430 orang.

_________________________________________________________

Moga kematian bayi suci ini menjadi iktibar untuk kita. Kesian sangat.. 

Data statistik ini sangat-sangatlah objektif. Straightforward. Kita boleh pilih nak justify morality pasal seks luar nikah dan seks bebas etc. Sememangnya kajian terbaru menunjukkan lagi besar jumlah mangsa, lagi sikit empati kita(Bad Science). Tapi kita tak boleh tolak tepi fakta yang menunjukkan beratus dan beribu anak-anak yang terkontang kanting nasibnya, siap ada yang mati lagi.

Jadi, aku nak ajak semua yang membaca, kita pilih side yang aman dan harmoni, tenang dan bahagia, bertamadun dan berakhlaq. Kita hormati wanita. Jangan disentuh wanita yang belum kita nikahi, jangan ditiduri walaupun dah bertunang. Kalau ikut agama kita selamat. Baca betul-betul, jangan tengok MUSLIM, tengok ISLAM. Kalau korang agama lain, ikutlah agama masing-masing. Masing-masing dah ada undang-undang masing-masing. Tinggal kita je nak ikut tak nak.

Kenapa side ini aman, tenang dan bahagia? Yang pertama, ini pasal cinta. Antara nama Allah, al Wadud. Bermaksud Maha PenCINTA. Inilah yang buat aku yakin sangat, cinta ini bukan sekadar peluk, cium, rindu, dan sayang. Ianya lebih, sangat-sangat lebih. Kalau tidak kenapa Allah ada nama Maha Pencinta kalau ianya sekadar itu. Cinta perasaan suci.

Yang kedua, aku yakin sebab side ini menghormati wanita. Tidak menghadkan kemuncak cinta kepada tidak memakai panties, tidak menjatuhkan martabat cinta dengan hanya tidur dan tidak menodai cinta. Bila kita tak hadkan cinta pada perkara fizikal, tiada risau kalau fizikal itu hilang. Macam-macam cerita dah aku baca, memang orang jenis ni bahagia sehingga ke tua, Alhamdulillah.

Yang ketiga, side ini mostly akan membawa kepada family yang beradab dan bahagia. Tak ada incest, tak ada sumbang mahram dan bukan-bukan. Values uphold are invaluable. Insya Allah. Anak-anak dan cucu-cucu yang baik. Allah pun akan kumpulkan kita di syurga dengan anak-anak cucu-cucu kita. Memang la awkward sikit sebab masa itu semua umur sama. Haha. Bayangkan kalau orang sebaya panggil korang, ya Atuk! Assalamu'alaikum.. Tak tersedak pulak masa itu kan? :D Moga kita termasuk ahli syurga. Amin.

Jadi, macam mana nak sokong?
Amalkan Islam. Kalau tak boleh sempurna, cuba.

Mula bagitahu orang, MUSLIM tak mencerminkan ISLAM sepenuhnya. Jadi, jangan judge Islam hanya sebab MUSLIM teruk. Check betul-betul.

Kalau ada yang kacau sendi-sendi Islam, kita bagitahu elok-elok. Cakap, hormati agama. Macam atheist uphold ethics, kita uphold way of life, Islam.

Nak bercinta? Kalau sudah datang cinta tu, cater betul-betul. Bagi pada naqib atau parents. Elakkan jumpa, elakkan dating. Sentiasa la berdoa agar dapat yang terbaik untuk masing-masing. Memang la tangan menggeletar nak tahan tangan dari contact, tapi, dalam Quran pun ada cakap, zalika azka lahum. Yang itu lebih suci. Kalau bab ikhtilat dan cinta, mesti ada pasal kesucian. Sebab cinta itu suci, dan menenangkan. Susah for sure memang sangat susah. Ia berkaitan pasal kekuatan dan keazaman. Kalau dah jumpa lelaki, atau perempuan yang sanggup tahan rindu, cinta, dan sayang, tak contact, tak ada apa-apa, sebab takutkan Allah, percayalah, dia akan pegang cinta betul-betul kalau dah dapat. Kalau gagal, dia akan terus mencuba. Sebab dia masih takutkan dan cinta pada Allah. Kalau belum dapat jaga, siap dating-dating lagi, ehem, bak kata si Coklat, kalau sebelum kahwin tak dapat jaga amanah pada Allah, macam mana nak jaga lepas kahwin? :D Kan Coklat?

Tapi kalau cinta belum datang lagi, bergembiralah. Sebab tugas mudah sikit. Nak jaga iman pun lagi mudah berbanding yang dah jatuh tapi belum nikah. Kan?

Nak bina masjid? Jangan tunggu lama-lama, nanti lama-lama dia diambil orang. (Lirik lagu ape eh?)

Either way, pastikan Allah redha. Jangan biar matlamat menghalalkan cara sudah.

Pesan kat kawan-kawan. Kalau ada yang nampak bunga-bunga nak buat anak secara tak sengaja, nasihat elok-elok. Isi hati dia dengan cinta Allah. Doa banyak-banyak. Kalau tak, takut kat akhirat nanti dia menjadi salah seorang yang didakwa oleh si anak. Nauzubillah..

Jadi, untuk kita Muslim, uphold elok-elok syariah Islam. Jangan ustaz perangai teruk jadi alasan tak nak ikut syariah. Apa kaitan ustaz dengan syariah? Ustaz manusia, syariah dari Allah. Kita ikut nabi la kan? :) Main kejar-kejar dengan isteri(ei..tak kahwin lagi, nak main kejar-kejar apa..).

Jadi, untuk non Muslim yang nak sambut Valentine. Sambut elok-elok. Jangan jadi pesta seks, tapi biar jadi hari melamar untuk kahwin. St.Valentine itu orang Kristian yang taat. Kalau nak sangat sambut, sambut secara beradab. Ok? Jangan ajak orang Islam, kami tak sambut Valentine. Sebab ia bukan sendi agama kami. :)

Lakum diinukum, waliya diin. :)

Dream with me..

Salam.

Maher Zain posted a video, Ehlam Ma'aya, by Hamzah Namirah yesterday. Masya Allah, the video inspired me very deeply.

The utter frustration of Egyptians to their beloved leader, Hosni Mubarak culminated in a chaotic way. A very long fight to feel the real sip of justice. Some suffered losses of their sons and beloved ones, and some even to the extent of losing themselves. When injustice rules, many lives sacrificed.

I want to share with you this video, so that we can really at least pray for them. If their revolt succeed, they will open up an infinite possibilities, perhaps biiznillah, more promising possibilities in the future. Amin.. Wallahu a'lam.

Lyrics

Dream with me,
Of a tomorrow that’s coming,
And if it doesn’t come,
We’ll bring it ourselves.
We’ll stride upon this path,
Our many footsteps will lead us to our dream.

Dream with me,
Of a tomorrow that’s coming,
And if it doesn’t come,
We’ll bring it ourselves.
We’ll stride upon this path,
Our many footsteps will lead us to our dream.

No matter how many times we fall,
We’ll be able to rise again,
Find the way through, challenge and defy the dark clouds,
We’ll find our night transformed into a thousand days,
Only if we dream.

No matter how many times we fall,
We’ll be able to rise again,
Find the way through, challenge and defy the dark clouds,
We’ll find our night transformed into a thousand days,
Only if we dream.

Dream with me my friend,
Our footsteps will shorten the distance
I care about my innocent dream
Whatever it may be
It will stand beside us
No matter how long our journey becomes
Even if we become lost, my friend,
Our reunion will rally us toward our dream,
Towards our dream,
Towards our dream,
Towards our dream.

Towards our dream,
Towards our dream,
Towards our dream,
Towards our dream,
Only if we dream.

- Don't be afraid to dream. :) 

Rally: A piece of effort

* This peaceful demonstration was just an effort, to show the world the unity of view to bring dictatorship down. Wallahu a'lam.

From my point of view..
I came with Amin and Hakim. We gathered quickly after the Imam completed leading Solat Hajat. Joined by IKRAM, ISMA, PAS, Parti Sosialis Malaysia and other parties and NGOs, we followed the long and massive line, marching to the US Embassy peacefully. The crowd was full of spirit and passion and their faces showed what they meant. Various races marched to the US Embassy crying out loud slogans like "Down, down, down Mubarak" and "Hidup, hidup, hidup rakyat". Also heard "Undur, Undur, Undur Najib".

The march continued along the road peacefully. Although there were some roadblocks, the march continued and reached US Embassy peacefully. At that time, my friends and I were separated. Masya Allah, I still met ikhwah from various lines, and even in the heat of the demo, we managed to hug and chat while walking. I met Muhsein from Hira', a colleague of black-belt demo team. I met Anas Badlatif and Fahim, ex juniors of Alamin. I met my seniors - Hafidz Gazali and Muhaimin Shahriman. I met my teachers, Cikgu Rozainah was one of them. And I also met some DQ juniors. Many more.

When we arrived in front of the embassy. I quickly went to the front line, hoping to get into the 'ribath', a chain of humans. "Care to join?" asked a foreigner to me. I joined them quickly. Alhamdulillah, the kind foreigner was from Egypt. We chatted in front of the police line. He was happy to see how youth in Malaysia were as passionate as their youth. I saw some of the armored officers were kind and nice people. They put forward a neutral cold and strict face and just hoped they could get their jobs done. Peacefully. Perhaps they were thinking about their families. And they surfed the net. I also saw some faces that expressed hatred so deep. That whenever a person passed them, they will look them so sharp and mean. Their eyes were rolling. And you see this kind will shout and hit even old men. Just want to tell, that not all of them accepted by heart what they were doing. For example, the police officer in front of me. He held a tuber and some smoke grenades were equipped in his pockets. Yet, before we dismissed, the officer smiled to me. A sign of friendliness, I guess. You would know if you look at his face yourself.

The crowd stopped and some representatives from different organisations went to meet the ambassador to give the memorandum. This included Syed Azman and Sabu. An Egyptian gave a speech that was so energetic and powerful. Perhaps the aura came from the real feeling of a concern citizen. Also IKRAM's president. I didn't see it really well because I was chained together with the Egyptian that time. After they gave the memorandum, I freed myself and went to the road where there was traffic. We together lifted our banners and posters and signed them to honk to show their supports while the press interviewed the reps. So happy to see so many drivers honked and waved their hands. Even bus drivers honked, and it sounded very gigantic. Haha. I hope more people would know about what we were doing that time. It helps I guess.

Then, the real challenge came. Just before the crowd dispersed and dismissed, we saw FRU trucks with water cannons were coming. In my heart I just hoped so that nothing bad would happen to us. We came very peacefully and the pakcik and makcik also reminded us to conduct the demo peacefully. When we were in our way back, the police narrowed the road to make us harder to walk. See the picture below.

Then after about 60 percent passed the bottleneck, something happened. Two or three makciks and a girl, makcik's daughter were sprayed right in their faces. And it culminated there. Those who were already far, called a 'come-back' to check. Crying 'La Ilaha IllaAllah' very loud, they circled the makcik's group. Then the police sprayed again. This time, I already wore a mask, helped those who were sprayed. Took them aside, made them sit, and gave them water. Me with another unknown person. Hell they gave to the crowd. The gas suffocated us, made our skin irritated, and our eyes 'pedih'. I can't imagine how those makciks still could stand because even men adults still had difficulties. The guy and I still wanted to drag those who were sprayed, but suddenly the armed officers pushed the angry crowd. The makciks anger had caused others to be angry. I think they should be angry. The officers managed to catch a boy, Unit Amal and hit him so hard. So 'dayus' they hit him when he was alone unable to defend himself. Why? This rally should be peaceful. And then the officers pulled an old man hand. This time me and few other young guys pushed the officers and pulled the old man, protecting him from the police officers. Allah.. they even wanted an old man to satisfy their psychological problems. Crazy. Then they swayed their bats around to break the crowd. Me and some teenagers quickly searched for other possible victims and tried to pull them away from the hot spot. And that time, my only objective was to take sprayed victims and help them and pull possible-to-be victim from getting hit. We came in a nice way, we should go home in a nice way too. But when the police triggered it, we just need to help those who were already so angry.

Kesian makcik dan pakcik yang berniaga..

After the crowd dismissed slowly, they gathered again in front of Tabung Haji. This time, was only to have some rest and drink. I could see many of them still had their eyes watery and in pain due to the tear gas. Suddenly the police lined up, and marched. FRU trucks came and a spokesman said, "Sila bersurai sekarang atau kami akan suraikan dengan kekerasan". But most of the crowd still did not move. They were resting and drinking. A few minutes after that, a truck moved and sprayed the crowd with water cannon. I thought it was acid, but it was plain water. Pity the hawkers. Their drink waters just unsellable after that. Because their stalls got sprayed too. Just before the truck reversed, a young man came to the road and threw three mineral waters to the truck. SBs identified him and quickly chased him. The moment, the crowd quickly dispersed and ran to the building. Most of us went to the building. We ran and ran. Chased by the SBs. We ran. I ran. I saw they hit people, and I knew they would not hesitate to hit us. Some pakciks even brought their little boys and had to run to protect them. We were cornered inside the building.

In front of the building, we saw many officers guarding the door. I felt afraid. We felt it. If we stayed, SBs will hit us before they catch us. Definitely. They were retarded. Haha. So, after discussing with a pakcik, we decided to go out. Slowly. A Uni student led the frightening crowd first. The police officers in front of the door threatened to hit him. Surrounded him. Feeling afraid also, I went out. I lifted my hands up so that the cameras would see me. So, they'll unable to do anything to me. An SB met me and questioned me. My face was still so pedih the effect had not worn out yet. He released me after that. Again my chest felt hot and I coughed. Stopped walking for a while. Suddenly, the previous SB called me again, "Amik budak tu..amik budak tu.." I was in TV for this. Haha. Nervously I told him I will be gone. The crowd was gone. Only reporters left perhaps. So nervous at that time. Still, if given a chance, I would like to interview them why they were so retarded even to hit old men and teenagers. Not even in a fair fight.

I went to KLCC and met Hafidz on my way. He came alone. And he was there. Perhaps next time I should bring my camera. Cameramen got privileges. Haha.

1. This rally should be peaceful if the FRU had not come.
2. Memorandums sent to US Embassy are hoped to be paid attention.
3. Rally has a unique way to spread info and to toughen unity.
4. And personally, I think youth should be active in this. So they will be more concern about their future one day.

Business owner Abu Bakr Makhlouf is a member of Egypt's elite. He wears a stylish overcoat to ward off the chill of Tahrir Square. He wasn't politically active in the past – he used to worry about what might happen to his children. Now he's been through the tear gas and the rattling batons and thinks it's better for his family if he fights. "I will stay here – I told my wife not to wait for me. There's no way back for us," he says.

We will show our support through this rally. And we pray for a better future for you Egyptians to our God, Allah the Almighty. Amin ya rabbal 'alamin.
5. I want to participate in another rally. Insya Allah..

6. I disagree with this Mufti. He told Egyptians to stop protesting and give 7 months to Mubarak to reform. He's always been an ardent fan of Mubarak. Link.
7. Mubarak's wife is a nice person. You should read about her.
