'Kesedaran'

Last week's ceramah was entertaining, but more importantly an eye-opener.

Remaja - remaji.
Gentleman - gentel man.
"Saya suka awak, saya suka awak," (right hand imitating Hitler's)



What caught my attention was when the ustaz was talking about rempit and then he said, well not his exact words but it kinda goes like this:


"Alhamdulillah awak semua ni ade kesedaran..."


Kesedaran



'Kesedaran' not to do such things he mentioned our friends out there are doing. Alhamdulillah & insyaAllah (or should it be na'uzubillah...?) that not one of us will fall out of the right track. InsyaAllah everyone has this type of 'kesedaran'.

But there's another type of 'kesedaran' that keep me wondering whether or not we possess. That is the awareness to 'rescue' those people. The calling which needs us to reach out to them & open their eyes. Our responsibility.


I really hope everyone has the 'kesedaran' to do just that.

Our Destiny


Great humans of this world

Will think of their future

Will think of their destiny in this world

And will think of what they can do in their short life


Have we ever thought of it?

If we have not

It shows that we don’t really care

Our existence as a human


Have u seen Matrix?

Do u realize that our existence in this world

Is the same as in the Matrix world?

What do I mean?


It is unreal….


Have u ever heard of Allah’s words

In Al-Hadid verse 20

That this world is only play and amusement?

That this world is only a deceiving enjoyment?


This world is not the real one

It is just like an MMORPG (Multi-player online role playing game)

This world seems real

But what we get in this world

Will not give effect in the ‘real’ world

Instead, it is what we do

That will count


O humans

Hear my call

Turn back and return to the path of our creator

To the purpose of our existence in this world

So that we will not regret

And won’t be crying and wooing in sorrow

When we open our eyes in the ‘real’ world

Jasad dan Ruh

Serasanya kita semua sedar kita ni apa, betul?
Serasanya semua tahu kita manusia.
Dan serasanya semua patutnya sedar bahawa manusia ada dua unsur,
Jasad dan Ruh.

Dan menariknya, dua-dua unsur ni macam saling collaborate.
Saling bekerjasama dengan satu synchronization yang begitu mantap.
Segala emosi dan gerak fizikal macam ada satu chemistry.
Bila jiwa rasa sedih, mata mula menangis.
Bila rasa takut, jantung berdegup-degup.
Bila rasa gembira, bukan main lagi senyumnya.
Sesuatu yang even science pun tak dapat nak explain sebetulnya.
Bayangkan macam mana sesuatu yang abstrak dan realiti mampu bersatu.

Tapi ada satu persoalan yang patut kita fikirkan.
Ruh dan jasad, siapa kita sebenarnya?
Kita fikirkan, dari mana kita mula.
Dari alam roh. Siapa kita masa tu?
Kita adalah ruh.
Kemudian, alam rahim.
Siapa kita?
Peringkat awal, kita masih ruh, belum masuk jasad.
Jasad masa tu masih dalam pembinaan.
Lama sikit baru kita ditiup masuk.
Lepas tu baru masuk dunia ni.
Siapa kita?
Kita jasad dan ruh. Manusia.
Sampai masa, kita pergi. Mati. Dead. Kaput.
Dah sampai tarikh luput. Expired.
Lepas tu siapa kita?

Bila kita mati, terpisah antara keduanya.
Jasad akan kembali ke tempat asalnya: Tanah.
Ruh, akan kembali juga ke tempat dari mana asalnya: kembali kepada-Nya.
Dan kita memasuki alam seterusnya yang begitu panjang.
Kita masuk sebagai apa?
Ruh semestinya, setelah jasad ditinggalkan.

Maka, di sepanjang kewujudan kita, yang mana kita?
Ruh atau jasad?
Jasad itu, hakikatnya hanya sekadar host untuk ruh kita wujud dan bekerja.
Sepanjang kewujudan, melalui pelbagai alam hingga ke hujung yang infinite,
kita adalah ruh. Jiwa.
Dan jiwa itu tidak dapat wujud di dunia ini dan berfungsi sepertimana yang sedang
kita lakukan sekarang, tanpa adanya jasad itu.

Menyebut tentang fungsi, tiap satunya pasti ada fungsi.
Maka apa fungsi ruh? Apa peranan jasad?

To be continued...

Pondering upon the Index Finger

Have you ever wonder why we have to raise our right index finger during tahiyat akhir?
Have you ever heard it is sunat to start clipping our nails with the right index finger?

Pn Bad (pronounced as 'bud', not 'bad') said in our class the other day that we are actually encouraged to recite the Qur'an with our index finger pointing & following the ayat that we read. Aside from helping us to focus and direct our eyes, she also pointed out;

"Maybe there's some kind of wave or magic or I don't know what, that can travel..."

And then she did this movement with her hands (index fingers out, other fingers curled) travelling to her head, afterwhich everyone chuckled.

Moral of the story:
1. Find out why the right index finger is so special

2. There's no need for fancy sticks or bookmarks. Let's recite the Qur'an using our right index finger & our right index finger only

Perlukah Kita Skeptikal Kepada Yahudi & Nasrani?

1. "Barangan keluaran Yahudi perlu diboikot kerana wang yg diperoleh mereka akan digunakan utk mengebom negara umat Islam dan membunuh umat Islam."

2. "Rancangan tv,kartun yg disiarkan banyak yg mampu merosakkan pemikiran anak-anak kecil muslim ."

3. "Krisis kewangan Amerika adalah salah satu perancangan Yahudi dan Nasrani utk menguasai dunia. Umat Islam akan kata,

'Padan muka Amerika.'

Sedangkan Amerika dan sekutunya sedang tersenyum gembira melihat umat Islam sedang diperbodoh."

4. 'Obama itu adalah boneka Yahudi."


Yahudi itu…Yahudi ini…Zionis itu…Zionis ini…


Mungkin inilah yg terlintas di fikiran kita apabila memikirkan tentang Yahudi. Namun,mungkin ada yg tertanya2 mengapa asyik memandang negatif apa2 yg dibuat oleh Yahudi?

Susahlah hidup kita kalau begitu… Kata, menyeru manusia agar berkasih sayang dan bersangka baik?Dengan org kafir kena r baik,kalau tak camne diorg nak terima Islam yg dikatakan agama kasih sayang & keamanan...

Tak adakah ruang utk kita bertolak ansur terhadap mereka?


Mungkin ada yg nak respon.....
