"Verily my solats, my ibadah, my life and my death I surrender to Almighty Allah, Creator and Lord of all the worlds. Never will I associate anything with Him. So am I commanded and I am of those who are Muslims."
Surah An Nahl (Chapter 16 Verse 125) Holy Al Quran Al Kareem.
" Invite(all Mankind) to the Way of your Lord (Islam) with Wisdom and Beautiful Preaching and Reason (discuss, argue, debate) with them ( Non Muslims and Muslims -deviant, innovators, liberals, alike) in a Way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Knower of those who are guided."
Fesyen rambut lelaki sekarang dah berubah ikut zaman. Kekadang terasa lucu tengok gelagat remaja lelaki di tengah kota berjalan kesana sini dengan rambut tercacak macam trojan.
Cumanya sekarang ini lebih mirip kepada 'Balong Ayam'.
Ini adalah koleksi balong balong yang sempat saya rakam sejak sekian lama ini :
Ianya bermula bila saya melihat bayi ini di East Coast Mall Kuantan.
Ini balong semulajadi. Hehehehe...nampak comel dan memang kiut giler. :)
Ini balong yang saya jumpa di Pasaraya Eng Hong, Jalan Bukit Ubi, Kuantan. Malu malu miaow hero kita ni bila saya minta izin beliau untuk dirakam gambar balong nya itu....hehehehe..
Balong ini orang Kuantan juga. Nampak Meenachi kawan sekerja dia tak boleh tahan gelak dah tengok saya ambil gambar balong hero ini. Seingat saya masih didalam East Coast Mall, Kuantan.
Yang ini pula Balong Tesco Ampang. Memang teruja sungguh hero ni bila saya minta dia posing sekejap nak rakam gambar balong dia. Hahahaha....fesyen.............
Ini pula balong hero Tesco Ampang bahagian Elektrik. Sporting selamba je bila minta dia berposing. Mr.Balong Cool.....
Jika di adakan pertandingan Balong, mekanik muda Bengkel Kereta Idola Jaya kat Dataran Dwitasik ni memang boleh menjadi juara! Balong King!!!
Seandainya ada cicak yang malang jatuh keatas balong kawan kita ni, maka tak sempat mengucap gamaknya sang cicak.
Mati tertikam dek ketajaman balong hero muda ini....ish!...ish!..ish!..ish!!! Tajamnya!!! :P
Hahahahaha....
Hero balong yang ini pula minta identiti dirinya dirahsiakan. Terpulanglah pada tuan puan jika sempat mengenalinya. Beliau bertugas dikawasan persekitaran KL. Boleh tahan juga mutu balong diatas kepala nya ini.
Ini pula hero Kuantan. Saya ketemu dirinya bila ke majlis kenduri perkahwinan anak saudara isteri saya di kawasan Jalan Alor Akar.
Dia segan juga bila di minta berhenti sekejap untuk di rakam gambar balong nya ini.
Ini Balong Restoran Asam Pedas, Chukai, Terengganu.
Malu malu juga hero muda ni bila saya ngambil gambar dirinya. Hehehehe...orang Ganu...senyum sokmo!....
Saya terjumpa anak muda ini menggayakan fesyen balong semasa di Kolej Poly Tech MARA. Terus saya meminta beliau berhenti sekejap untuk merakamkan balongnya pula.
Saya akhiri topik ini dengan menyiarkan gambar Balong Bandar Tun Razak depan Kedai Pasaraya Pak Aji!
Siap bertindik lagi hero muda ni...macam macam.....
Dunia Akhirul Zaman....Balong ayam jadi pilihan fesyen rambut mereka...
Ibupejabat MIC kecoh seketika dengan pertembungan dua pihak yang tidak puas hati dengan cara Kerajaan Pulau Pinang mengendalikan kes Kg Buah Pala dan lagi satu pihak pula terdiri dari para pelabur didalam saham Maika Holdings yang menuntut wang mereka kembali dan menuduh MIC menipu mereka!
FRU dan Polis DiRaja Malaysia nampak seperti tenggelam punca kerana terperangkap ditengah tengah dua kumpulan ahli ahli MIC yang menjerit dan melaungkan slogan berbeza beza memaki hamun pimpinan Pakatan Rakyat dan juga MIC!
Riuh rendah jadinya! Agak agak saya Samy Vellu mesti dah terpaksa telan Panadol sekotak dua tengok kekecohan ini.
Nampak gaya semakin berserabut jadinya MIC......
Maika Holdings ni dah lama dituduh ahli ahlinya bersandiwara dengan duit pelaburan saham mereka.
Apa cerita selanjutnya? Bingit telinga jadinya. Ada adegan baling helmet, rembat kasut, gertak menggertak dan sebagainya....
Raplah jiingga agaknya anak Samy Vellu...si Vell Paari dok kena maki bertubi tubi?
Bagi sesiapa yang tinggal berdekatan Cheras dan persekitarannya, mungkin tuan/puan tergerak hati nak cari buah buahan tempatan segar dan berharga berpatutan?
Sila lah menuju ke Warung Effa, Nasi Campor Minang, depan Taman Seri Nanding, Batu 14, Hulu Langat kerana ayahnya ada menjual cempedak dan rambutan dari dusun mereka sendiri.
Saya sering ke Warung Effa menjamu selera kami dengan makan nasi kampong masakan mereka.
Harga memang jauh lebih murah dari KL.
Nak makan nasi tengahari, elok lah bergerak seawal jam 11pagi. Masakan di Warung Effa memang cepat habis sebab para pengunjung ke Hulu Langat pasti singgah dahulu sebelum ke Sg Pangsoon dan sebagainya.
Jika hendak merasa masakan asli orang orang Minang, maka jangan sampai lewat. Takut tinggal periok je. :P
Kerajaan 1Malaysia Najib Tun Razak perlu membebaskan mana mana tahanan ISA yang terbukti tidak terlibat didalam sebarang aktiviti anti negara ini di atas dasar perikemanusiaan dan keadilan sejagat!
Bilamana para pimpinan HINDRAF yang bertindak mengadakan protes jalanan dan mengancam mungkin terpaksa menggunakan kekerasan untuk mencapai hajat mereka seperti yang di tuntut itu boleh pula dibebaskan, saya ingin bertanya Dato Seri Hishamudin Tun Hussein Onn, di atas alasan apakah masih terpenjara orang orang seperti Mat Shah Mohd Satray dan yang lain lain dimana tidak ada sebarang perbicaraan dijalankan keatas mereka sejak ditangkap dan ditahan pada tahun 2002?
Saya hairan bilamana mereka yang ternyata bertindak ganas dan melakukan huru hara dijalanan boleh dilepaskan tetapi insan insan seperti Encik Mat Shah Mohd Satray masih terus dipenjarakan di Kem Tahanan Kemunting oleh Kerajaan Malaysia?
1hb Ogos ini dikatakan akan berlaku pertembungan diantara 2 pihak yang berlawan prinsip iaitu Gerakan Mansuhkan ISA akan turun berprotes dijalanraya dan ada pula kumpulan Pro ISA seperti PEWARIS akan berdemonstrasi sama tetapi untuk dikekalkan ISA!
Mereka yang menyokong ISA secara membuta tuli sudah pasti belum merengkok didalam penjara, terpisah dari anak isteri serta keluarga tercinta.
Memang seperti kata perumpamaan, 'belum kena belum tahu!'
Saya tidaklah meminta supaya ISA dihapuskan kerana ada perlunya mereka yang bersifat anarkis dan mengancam keselamatan negara ditahan demi menjaga kepentingan bersama tetapi saya merayu agar Kerajaan 1Malaysia ini bebaskan lah mereka yang ternyata tidak membahayakan negara kita ini.
Berdosa besar memisahkan seorang suami dari isterinya, seorang ayah dari anak anaknya dan seorang anak dari ibubapanya tanpa dibuktikan bahawa dirinya bersalah atau disabitkan secara sahih tanpa sebarang keraguan akan tuduhan tuduhan kesalahan yang konon dilakukannya.
Seandainya masih terpenjara orang orang yang tidak bersalah ini secara berterusan, natijahnya nanti akan jatuhlah kerajaan yang zalim serta tidak berperi kemanusiaan kerana begitulah lumrah alam ini.
Saya pinta sekali lagi supaya tahanan tahanan ISA yang terbukti tidak bersalah dibebaskan segera!
Sedangkan ketua ketua HINDRAF boleh dibebaskan, apakah pula masaalahnya untuk membebaskan mereka yang terpenjara selama 7 tahun lebih tanpa disabit kesalahan mereka?
Ingatlah bahawa orang orang yang zalim akan menerima padahnya di Padang Mahsyar nanti!

I received a comment from a blogger friend of mine, Brother Emmanuel Joseph about the matter of the illegitimate child of the late Teoh Beng Hock where Brother Emmanuel speaks of having compassion for the unfortunate child and that we ought to have pity upon it for it is innocent of the sin that its unmarried parents have committed!
I for one am just saying that we can't simply go against God's Rule in legitimizing a bastard child just because we feel pity for it.
The difference between a bastard and a lawful child is the status of the parents union.
If the child is conceived after marriage, then the child is a legitimate offspring and has all the rights accorded by not only the law but by any of the parents faith.
Any child conceived before marriage is a bastard @ illegitimate and there is no room for anyone to come declare it as otherwise.
We do not have the right to make halal what God has forbidden and we are not to make haram whatever that The Almighty has allowed.
Period.
Brother Emmanuel is a gentle soul and I understand his general compassion and outlook on the matter but mere compassion upon the state of an illegitimate offspring of an unmarried couple under whatever faith or religion here on this earth has no grounds to legitimize that foetus.
We can argue from dawn till dusk about this matter but even as we opinionate as we please, we are in no position to make right what is absolutely wrong before Almighty God.
I rest my case.
Those who are not happy about it can go engage a lawyer and fight their case in court!
This is the reality of life. That each and every living being will one day end its existence here on Earth by dying.
No matter whether one is a King or a commoner, prince or a pauper, celebrity or your run of the mill ordinary person, each and everyone of us will taste death.
Yasmin Ahmad, the controversial film, drama and ad director passed away last night after being in a coma for a few days.
She tried to break age old taboos by incorporating liberalism in her movies such as Gubra, Sepet, Mukhsin, Mualaf and Talentime.
Sure, she has her legions of fans and admirers who love what she had done for 'liberating' the Malaysian movie industry from touching on things which were taboo and bordering on Islamic issues, but I for one don't give two hoots about such achievements for they invite to the forbidden and blur the clear divide between the al-makruf and the maksiat!
Those who have a fair idea of what I objected about her would know exactly what I meant?
Those who were and are in cahoots with her frame of mind can just wait for their own comeuppance soon.
'Thou shall reapeth what thou soweth!' so says the parable of us who will answer for our deeds both here in the Yaum al Duniyya as well as in the Yaum al Akhirat!
Whatever differences I had with her work dies with her. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala give her her dues.
For all the hype we see and read about 'Change' taking place in the United States of America, there still seems to be quite a sea of racism well and alive in the world's so called 'Home of the Free and Land of the Brave'.
Here's a report attesting to how the whites in America still abhor and detest mixing with the blacks in North Philadelphia:
Pool Boots Kids Who Might "Change the Complexion"Campers sent packing after first visit to swim club
Dymire Baylor says he overheard a woman ask, "What are all these black kids doing?" when he and his friends showed up.
More than 60 campers from Northeast Philadelphia were turned away from a private swim club and left to wonder if their race was the reason.
Kids at Creative Steps Day Camp were thrilled to go swimming once a week at the Valley Swim Club. But after only one trip to the private club, they were...
"I heard this lady, she was like, 'Uh, what are all these black kids doing here?' She's like, 'I'm scared they might do something to my child!" said camper Dymire Baylor.
The Creative Steps Day Camp paid more than $1900 to The Valley Swim Club. The Valley Swim Club is a private club that advertises open membership. But the campers' first visit to the pool suggested otherwise.
"When the minority children got in the pool all of the Caucasian children immediately exited the pool," Horace Gibson, parent of a day camp child, wrote in an email. "The pool attendants came and told the black children that they did not allow minorities in the club and needed the children to leave immediately."
The next day the club told the camp director that the camp's membership was being suspended and their money would be refunded.
"I said, 'The parents don't want the refund. They want a place for their children to swim,'" camp director Aetha Wright said.
Campers remain unsure why they're no longer welcome.
"They just kicked us out. And we were about to go. Had our swim things and everything," said camper Simer Burwell.
The explanation they got was either dishearteningly honest or poorly worded.
"There was concern that a lot of kids would change the complexion … and the atmosphere of the club,"John Duesler, President of The Valley Swim Club said in a statement.
President Barack Hussein Obama Jr.,an Afro American with a black Kenyan father and white American mother might now be the President of the United States of America but that could very well be a fluke in this age of advocating the spirit of reform and change but deep down, there still flows quite a current of racism that could turn into a tsunami of hate if an earthquake of political backlash should ever erupt at any given time?
We are witnessing humankind expressing their basic instincts of survival and protecting their interests. Just like how things are over here in Malaysia?
There does exist an undeclared system of apartheid here as well pitting the Malays against all the other races.
We might see, read and hear widespread national propaganda heralding the 1Malaysia concept by the current Najib Tun Razak's led government in place but the reality that preference of one ethnicity over others is simply so overwhelmingly glaring that it simply sort of blinds the eye.
We have yet to reach the stage where people will be regarded for who or what they are instead of being judged and discriminated based upon the color of their skin and the lineage of their forefathers!
This is the sad and sordid reality that most mankind very often choose to ignore and pretend that it's not there.
Most of the political pacts, hugs and embracing we see all over the world often belie a hidden inner struggle to fight for and champion the causes and agenda of one's own tribe and race.
Same scenario over here in our multi ethnic, multi faithed nation of Malaysia. The current atmosphere of change and reform that is being touted about by both camps is only superficial.
Deep down, people still differentiate and discriminate against each other based upon skin color and ethnicity.
You know it as well as I that this is the truth, so help us God!
Racism is well and alive all over the world. This malady won't disappear overnight, that's for sure.
All that we as individuals can do is to at least be a bit more humane and understanding towards one another.
That is if we want to be able to live and co exist with one another in relative peace and harmony?
May we learn to judge others upon their individual character and deeds than dwell upon how light or dark is the color of one's skin?
Almighty Allah doesn't differentiate between us humans based upon our skin color or the quality of our clothes and outer adornments but based upon what levels we as individuals have faith in Him and as per our deeds?
Americans and all other nationalities of the world have yet to come to realize this truth!
May we all learn to accept this reality and work our way towards upholding the truth and justice that we all seek in our hearts and minds.
I came across this blog that sure has a lot of interesting details about how things are being done by the state government exco's as far as RM500,000.00 allocations per constituency is concerned?
Quite peculiar isn't it when the so called 'dark blog' seems to throw just so much light onto the expenses of the allocations for the YB of the Sg.Pelek Constituency?
Baru baru ini, kita menyaksikan perhimpunan Jamaah Tabligh sedunia berkumpul dilapangan berdekatan Kuarters Kakitangan Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Malaysia di Labu, Nilai, Negeri Sembilan.
Walaupun ada diantara kita yang tidak berkesempatan menghadiri perhimpunan pendakwah Muslimin dan Muslimat terbesar didalam negara kita yang kali terakhirnya di adakan di Kuala Terengganu 27 tahun yang lepas, kita masih bersyukur kerana dapat mengikuti perkembangan Ijtimak Malaysia 2009 melalui laporan bloggers yang sempat bersama Jamaah Tabligh sedunia disana.
Saya memperolehi rakaman gambar gambar ini dari blog rakan seperjuangan saya iaitu Saudara Kamaluddin yang menyajikan visual visual berkualiti tinggi ini untuk tatapan kita bersama.
Buat pertama kalinya kita melihat seorang Perdana Menteri Malaysia hadir bersama sama dengan ratusan ribu pendakwah Jamaah Tabligh secara sukarela dan bersolat secara berjamaah dengan mereka.
Saya ucapkan syabas kepada Dato Seri Najib dan juga TPM, Tan Sri Muhyiddin Hj Yassin serta DYMM Yang Di Pertuan Negeri Sembilan Darul Khusus, Tuanku Munawir serta lain lain pemimpin negara yang turut hadirkan diri bersama karkun karkun dan Amir Sahab sekelian.
Mudah2an akan ada lagi pertemuan sebegini diantara pemimpin negara dan pemimpin agama yang kita hargai.
Begitulah pinta pesalah kes minum arak Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarnor, 32 tahun, seorang wanita Muslim berasal dari Sungai Siput, Perak dan hidup berkahwin dengan warga Singapura selama 15 tahun disana. Bekerjaya sebagai seorang peragawati sambilan.
Kartika yang ditangkap ketika meminum arak dikhalayak ramai disebuah hotel di Cherating, Kuantan, Pahang Darul Makmur dijatuhkan hukum disebat 6 kali dan didenda RM5000 oleh Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah Kuantan.
Keputusan Hakim Datuk Abdul Rahman Yunus itu mengikut peruntukan Undang Undang Syariah, Seksyen 136, Enakmen Pentadbiran Agama Islam dan Adat Resam Melayu Pahang 1982.
Ikuti contoh pelaksanaan hukum sebatan ini di dalam video dibawah ini :
Saya kagum terhadap kesedaran Kartika terhadap kewajipan umat Islam yang melanggar undang undang Allah dan juga undang undang negeri akur terhadap hukuman dunia ini dan betapa bilamana sahaja hukuman itu dijalankan keatas dirinya, ia tidak lagi akan dikenakan hukuman di akhirat.
Berapa ramaikah diantara kita yang mengaku Muslim hari ini berani menerima hukum hakam Syariah Islam seperti Kartika Sari Dewi ini?
Di zaman orang orang yang kaya, berpangkat serta berkedudukan tinggi menggunakan segala kemewahan dan upaya yang ada pada diri mereka untuk melepaskan diri dari belenggu perundangan baik sivil manusia mahupun syariah Allah, kesanggupan ibu muda ini menerima hukuman perundangan Syariah Allah ini amat dialu alukan!
Seandainya Mahkamah Tinggi Syariah Kuantan berjaya melaksanakan hukuman sebat ke atas Kartika itu sepertimana kita melihat terlaksananya Hukum Hudud di Wilayah Acheh, Sumatera Utara didalam video di atas, maka saya pasti kesan nya akan dapat kita lihat didalam negara kita ini dimana akan mula gerun lah hati pemuda pemudi dan juga yang sudah tua untuk terus melakukan maksiat sesuka hati mereka sepertimana sedang berleluasa sekian lama ini baik didalam negara kita mahupun serantau Asia?
Mereka yang sebelum ini tega memperjuangkan Daulah Islamiyyah sudah beransur ansur diam dan tidak lagi melaungkan slogan 'Tegakkan Negara Islam berpaksikan Hukum Hudud dan Syariah Allah!' sejak berpakat dengan seteru Islam didalam perjuangan siyasah mahu memerintah negara ini.
Apakah akan kita melihat sejarah terjadi dibumi Kuantan, Pahang Darul Makmur yang akan menjulang panji panji Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala menegakkan Syiar Islam ditanah bertuah ini kembali ke zaman keagungan Islam dizaman Kesultanan Melayu Melaka yang melahirkan Hukum Kanun Melaka berteraskan Al Quran dan Sunnah Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam?
Sama sama lah kita menanti perkembangan seterusnya didalam kes Kartika Sari Dewi ini.
Mudah2an Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala menerima taubatnya.
Saya merujuk kepada laporan Malaysiakini bahawa Wanita MCA kini mendesak Menteri Dalam Negeri Dato Seri Hishamudin Tun Hussein Onn untuk memberi status 'sah' kepada anak diluar nikah mendiang Teoh Beng Hock!
Apa dah gila ke Wanita MCA sampai menuntut sedemikian rupa terhadap Kementerian Dalam Negeri?
Saya sedang memerhati agenda dan cara satu demi satu pihak didalam negara kita ini yang semakin naik tocang, menuntut itu dan ini ; lupa diri dan semakin melampaui batas kesopanan dan kesusilaan mengikut nafsu serakah masing masing sejak kebelakangan ini.
Apa kejadahnya semua ini?
Apakah pihak berkuasa Malaysia sejak dibawah pemerintahan Abdullah Badawi yang lalu dan kini beralih kuasa kepada Najib Tun Razak sudah tidak tahu mengatakan tidak kepada permintaan yang semakin melampau ini?
Kemanakah perginya suara suara ulamak yang ada didalam negara atau apakah benar mereka sekadar bagaikan ular didalam semak?
Tidak berani bersuara kerana dayus takut kehilangan pangkat dan kedudukan sementara dunia ini?
Saya harap kekhuatiran saya ini akan terbukti salah kerana selepas terbitnya artikel ini akan kedengaran suara sang mufti, menyatakan yang hak dan menyangkal yang batil!!!
Seandainya diam membisu juga selepas saya selaku seorang warga negara Muslim ini bersuara masih juga tidak kedengaran mana mana mufti negeri berkata apa apa mengenai cadangan celupar ini, maka sah lah bahawa bijak pandai ugama didalam negara ini hanya sekadar hiasan dinding sahaja di setiap pejabat agama negeri dan negara!
Bayangkan tahap kejahilan puak wanita MCA ini menuntut supaya seorang anak yang sah sah bertaraf haram diluar perkahwinan mahu dirasmikan secara sah?
Jika Menteri Dalam Negeri akur terhadap permintaan sebiadap ini, maka tengoklah nanti natijahnya macam mana?
Setiap anak haram yang akan lahir didalam negara ini akan menuntut hak yang sama!
Seandainya Hishamudin akur terhadap permintaan ini, maka semakin hancurlah institusi kekeluargaan didalam Malaysia yang kononnya negara Islam ini bilamana semakin ramailah nanti pasangan pasangan bersekedudukan tanpa nikah dan melahirkan anak anak diluar nikah tanpa malu dan segan kerana sudah boleh berbinkan bapa kandung yang tidak kahwin dengan ibu mereka!!!
Tak kiralah agama mana sekalipun didalam dunia ini, saya rasa tak ada nya sebarang agama atau fahaman yang membenarkan pasangan tanpa nikah atau kahwin secara sah berlaku zina sesuka mereka dan kemudian menerima pula anak hasil zina itu sebagai anak yang sah dan boleh diterima masyarakat mereka.
Mungkin masyarakat yang tak ada sebarang agama atau kepercayaan, hidup didalam hutan rimba ikut suka mungkin boleh terima tuntutan Wanita MCA ini?
Namun saya rasa masyarakat Orang Asli sedunia sekalipun ada adat dan resam mereka dan tidak akan membiarkan mana mana pasangan bersekedudukan tanpa berkahwin secara rasmi mengikut kepercayaan mereka!
Beranikah Hishamudin Tun Hussein Onn melawan perintah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala dengan memenuhi permintaan puak ini?
Saya nak tengok apa keputusan KDN? Beranikah menghalalkan yang haram? Sanggup kah menerima azab dan bala bencana dari Allah Azza Wa Jalla nanti?
Nampaknya semakin celupar puak puak seteru Allah kebelakangan ini....
"It's what we decide today that determines our tomorrow!"

I just coined that phrase as I was communicating with a friend online. Amazing what one can up with when in the right mood?
Moods can be affected by the kind of company one keeps or chooses to deal with?
Take for instance dealing with the multitudes of cowardly loudmouthed, brash dimwits who pass themselves off as the 'know it all's cybersnipers'.
People with egos so bloated that they would make the puffer fish feel so ashamed yet these cowards go around pontificating in blogosphere as if we are beholden to these despots who don't know nuts about decency and how to behave when visiting another's blog or webspace?
I am not known to entertain vile commenters and shysters online who think it's their right to go traipsing all over the blogosphere as they damn well please and expect people to kowtow to them and give them our web space to spread their filth!
One such troll even emails me almost daily without miss thinking that I read those crap mails.
Hehehehe.
The particular vermin's email has been marked as spam and straight to the rubbish bin it goes without me having to soil my mind reading the crap.
Same goes for those anonymous blighters out there who don't have one blooming article born from their own grey matter so to speak in their blog!
Spare us the drivel. We don't need it.
I welcome on topic decent feedback and will accord to those worthy of my attention the same courtesy they pay me. You want to talk trash? Go to the relevant sites.
I don't have to waste my precious time reading the crap that these cybersnipers thrash out without fail.
You don't have to either. Be with better deserving people out here in cyberspace.
There are good decent people online. We can learn much from them.
Among my favorites are Cikgu Aliya Yeoh's blog here, Empayar Islam Benua Siam Kedahhere, and many others.
These bloggers are gifted with `Ilm and they share such `ilm with us wisely. Excellent writers and researchers.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala reward them all. Ameen.
If you want to read blogs, please do so with some study about their contents and context. See if there are any good article worth our while in their blogs?
Always check and recheck with authentic sources such as the Holy Quran and Hadiths before accepting any such articles to be the truth and nothing but the whole truth!
Some blogs mislead ignorants with unfounded claims and allegations.
If you see just slander and cybersniping wholescale in them, just ignore such sites and don't approve any crap emails or comments from such vermin.
We don't need such kind in our life. We deserve better, don't you agree?
Cybersnipers will face the Almighty in the Hereafter and they will pay for it!
Read what Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala Says about such kind here?
1. Waylun likulli humazatin lumazatin
1. Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter,
Verily life is what we choose it to be and why should we even bother to give room or space to these cybercowards in our life?
Choose who you spend your time with wisely.
We don't need such screwed up folks in our life, both online and offline. Period!
Bangkok's showcase new international airport is no stranger to controversy.
Built between 2002 and 2006, under the governments of then-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, the opening date was repeatedly delayed.
It has been dogged by allegations of corruption, as well as criticism of the design and poor quality of construction.
Then, at the end of last year, the airport was shut down for a week after being occupied by anti-government protesters.
Now new allegations have been made that a number of passengers are being detained every month in the duty free area on suspicion of shoplifting, and then held by the police until they pay large sums of money to buy their freedom.
That is what happened to Stephen Ingram and Xi Lin, two IT experts from Cambridge, as they were about to board their flight to London on the night of 25 April this year.
They had been browsing in the duty free shop at the airport, and were later approached by security guards, who twice asked to search their bags.
They were told a wallet had gone missing, and that Ms Lin had been seen on a security camera taking it out of the shop.
The company that owns the duty free shop, King Power, has since put the CCTV video on its website, which does appear to show her putting something in her bag. However the security guards found no wallet on either of them.
Despite that, they were both taken from the departure gate, back through immigration, and held in an airport police office. That is when their ordeal started to become frightening.
Interpreter
"We were questioned in separate rooms," Mr Ingram said. "We felt really intimidated. They went through our bags and demanded that we tell them where the wallet was."
The two were then put in what Mr Ingram describes as a "hot, humid, smelly cell with graffiti and blood on the walls".
Mr Ingram managed to phone a Foreign Office helpline he found in a travel guide, and was told someone in the Bangkok embassy would try to help them.
The next morning the two were given an interpreter, a Sri Lankan national called Tony, who works part-time for the police.
They were taken by Tony to meet the local police commander - but, says Mr Ingram, for three hours all they discussed was how much money they would have to pay to get out.
They were told the charge was very serious. If they did not pay, they would be transferred to the infamous Bangkok Hilton prison, and would have to wait two months for their case to be processed.
Mr Ingram says they wanted £7,500 ($12,250) - for that the police would try to get him back to the UK in time for his mother's funeral on 28 April.
But he could not arrange to get that much money transferred in time.
'Zig-zag' scheme
Tony then took them to an ATM machine at the police station, and told Ms Lin to withdraw as much as she could from her own account - £600 - and Mr Ingram then withdrew the equivalent of £3,400 from his account.
This was apparently handed over to the police as "bail", and they were both made to sign a number of papers.
Later they were allowed to move to a squalid hotel within the airport perimeter, but their passports were held and they were warned not to leave or try to contact a lawyer or their embassy.
"I will be watching you," Tony told them, adding that they would have to stay there until the £7,500 was transferred into Tony's account.
On the Monday they managed to sneak out and get a taxi to Bangkok, and met an official at the British Embassy.
She gave the name of a Thai lawyer, and, says Mr Ingram, told them they were being subjected to a classic Thai scam called the "zig-zag".
Their lawyer urged them to expose Tony - but also warned them that if they fought the case it could take months, and they risked a long prison sentence.
After five days the money was transferred to Tony's account, and they were allowed to leave.
Mr Ingram had missed his mother's funeral, but at least they were given a court document stating that there was insufficient evidence against them, and no charge.
"It was a harrowing, stressful experience," he said.
The couple say they now want to take legal action to recover their money.
'Typical' scam
The BBC has spoken to Tony and the regional police commander, Colonel Teeradej Phanuphan.
They both say Tony was merely helping the couple with translation, and raising bail to keep them out of prison.
Tony says about half the £7,500 was for bail, while the rest were "fees" for the bail, for his work, and for a lawyer he says he consulted on their behalf.
In theory, he says, they could try to get the bail portion refunded.
Colonel Teeradej says he will investigate any possible irregularities in their treatment. But he said any arrangement between the couple and Tony was a private affair, which did not involve the police.
Letters of complaint to the papers here in Thailand make it clear that passengers are regularly detained at the airport for alleged shoplifting, and then made to pay middlemen to win their freedom.
The Danish Embassy says one of its nationals was recently subjected to a very similar scam, and earlier this month an Irish scientist managed to flee Thailand with her husband and one year-old son after being arrested at the airport and accused of stealing an eyeliner worth around £17.
Tony told the BBC that so far this year he has "helped" about 150 foreigners in trouble with the police. He says sometimes he does it for no charge.
The British Embassy has also warned passengers at Bangkok Airport to take care not to move items around in the duty free shopping area before paying for them, as this could result in arrest and imprisonment.
You might be thinking why bother travelling to foreign lands for a holiday when the so called Land of Smiles beckons just north across our border with Thailand, when all such plans get dashed with the expose of scary news like this?
Thailand truly has beautiful beaches, aquamarine blue seawater's, etc..but it also has scam agents such as the ones reported above making easy money by preying on tourists at the airport.
I had received emails attesting to the above before but deleted them for lack of proof and maybe exaggerated travellers tales.
The BBC report here however has all the facts needed to ring the alarm bells.
You do not want to be the next victims.
It's hard enough risking your life and all that you have when travelling but this is really something you will never want to experience in your life, believe me.
We have always heard how easy it is to get firearms in Thailand? Considering the way things have been in Southern Thailand over the last few decades and the massacre at Tak Bai of Siamese Muslims, I don't think it's wise of anyone to risk being the next flock of tourist sheep ready to be slaughtered by these crooks in uniform at the airport.
Better be safe rather than be sorry.
Sawadee Karp...or maybe the airport police lockup?
Kewajiban anak terhadap orang -tua, yaitu berbuat baik, taat dan menghormat. Ini sesuai dengan panggilan fitrah yang harus dipenuhi dengan sebaik-baiknya.
Dan yang lebih hebat lagi ialah hak ibu, sebab dialah yang paling berat menanggung penderitaan waktu mengandung, melahirkan, menyusui, dan mengasuh.
Firman Allah Ta'ala: "Dan kami perintahkan kepada manusia supaya berbuat baik kepada ibu-bapanya, ibunya telah mengandung dia dengan susah-payah dan melahirkannya dengan susah-payah pula; mengandung dan menyusuinya selama 30 bulan." (al-Ahqaf: 16)
Diriwayatkan: "Ada seorang laki-laki datang kepada Nabi dan bertanya: Siapakah manusia yang lebih berhak saya kawani dengan baik?
Ia menjawab: Ibumu!
Dia bertanya lagi: Kemudian siapa?
Ia menjawab: Ibumu!
Dia bertanya lagi: Kemudian siapa lagi?
Ia menjawab: Ibumu!
Dia bertanya lagi: Kemudian siapa lagi?
Ia menjawab: Ayahmu!" (Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)
Nabi anggap durhaka kepada dua orang tua itu sebagai dosa besar, sesudah syirik.
Begitulah sebagaimana ungkapan al-Quran.
Oleh karena itu dalam hadisnya, Nabi Muhammad s.a.w. bersabda:
"Maukah kamu saya terangkan sebesar-besar dosa besar --tiga kali.
Mereka menjawab: Mau, ya Rasulullah!
Maka bersabdalah Nabi, yaitu:
menyekutukan Allah,
durhaka kepada dua orang tua --waktu itu dia berdiri sambil bersandar, kemudian duduk, dan berkata:
Ingatlah! Omongan dusta dan saksi dusta." (Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)
"Ada tiga orang yang tidak akan masuk sorga: 1) orang yang durhaka kepada dua orang tua; 2) laki-laki yang tidak ada perasaan cemburu terhadap keluarganya; 3) perempuan yang menyerupai laki-laki." (Riwayat Nasa'i, Bazzar dan Hakim)
"Semua dosa akan ditangguhkan Allah sampai nanti hari kiamat apa saja yang Dia kehendaki, kecuali durhaka kepada dua orang tua, maka sesungguhnya Allah akan menyegerakan kepada pelakunya dalam hidupnya (di dunia) sebelum meninggal." (Riwayat Hakim)
Allah memperkuat pesannya untuk berbuat baik kepada dua orang tua ini, ketika kedua orang tua tersebut telah mencapai umur lanjut, kekuatannya sudah mulai menurun, mereka sudah mulai sangat membutuhkan pertolongan dan dijaganya perasaannya yang mudah tersinggung itu.
Dalam hal ini Allah berfirman sebagai berikut: "Tuhanmu telah memerintahkan hendaklah kamu tidak berbakti kecuali kepadaNya dan berbuat baik kepada dua orang tua, jika salah satu di antara mereka atau keduanya sudah sampai umur tua dan berada dalam pemeliharaanmu, maka janganlah kamu katakan kepada mereka itu kata-kata 'uff' (kalimat yang tidak menyenangkan hati), dan jangan kamu bentak mereka, tetapi katakanlah kepada mereka berdua kata-kata yang mulia.
Dan rendahkanlah terhadap mereka berdua sayap kerendahan karena kasih, dan doakanlah kepada Tuhanmu: Ya Tuhanku! Berilah rahmat mereka itu, sebagaimana mereka telah memeliharaku di waktu aku masih kecil." (al-Isra': 23-24)
Beberapa atsar (omongan para sahabat) menyebutkan dalam mengiringi ayat-ayat ini dengan mengatakan: andaikata ada kalimat yang oleh Allah dipandang lebih rendah daripada uff, niscaya Ia haramkan juga.
Membuat Gara-Gara yang Menyebabkan Dicacinya Dua Orang Tua, Termasuk Dosa Besar
Lebih dari itu, bahwa Rasululiah s.a.w. tidak menjadikan gara-gara dicacinya dua orang tua hanya sekedar haram, tetapi termasuk dosa besar.
Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: "Sesungguhnya di antara sebesar-besar dosa besar, ialah seseorang melaknat orang tuanya sendiri --kemudian para sahabat merasa heran, bagaimana mungkin seorang yang berakal dan beriman akan melaknat orang tuanya, padahal mereka adalah penyebab hidupnya.
Kemudian mereka itu bertanya: bagaimana bisa jadi seseorang akan melaknat dua orang tuanya?
Maka jawab Nabi: yaitu dia mencaci ayah orang lain kemudian orang tersebut mencaci ayahnya, dan ia mencaci ibu orang lain, kemudian orang tersebut mencaci ibunya." (Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim)
Kalau ini tidak boleh, apalagi mencaci kedua orang tua di hadapannya sendiri.
Pergi ke Medan Jihad Tanpa Izin Orang Tua, Tidak Boleh
Demi perhatian Islam terhadap kerelaan dua orang tua, maka Islam tidak membenarkan seorang anak pergi ke medan jihad tanpa mendapat izin dua orang tua, padahal fisabilillah mempunyai kedudukan yang sangat tinggi dalam Islam yang tidak dapat dibandingkan dengan sekedar sembahyang malam dan puasa di siang hari.
Abdullah bin 'Amr bin 'Ash meriwayatkan:
"Ada seorang laki-laki datang kepada Nabi minta izin pergi berperang, kemudian Nabi bertanya: Apakah kedua orang tuamu masih hidup?
Ia menjawab: Masih. Maka sabda Nabi: Berjuanglah untuk kedua orang tuamu itu." (Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim) -
Yakni jadikanlah medan jihadmu itu dengan jalan berbuat baik dan melindungi kedua orang tuamu.
Dalam satu riwayat dikatakan: "Ada seorang laki-laki datang kepada Nabi s.a.w., kemudian berkata: aku telah berbai'at kepadamu untuk pergi hijrah dan berperang demi mencari pahala dari Allah.
Lantas Nabi bertanya: Apakah salah satu dari kedua orang tuamu itu masih hidup?
Ia menjawab: Betul, bahkan kedua-duanya masih hidup.
Kemudian Nabi bertanya lagi: Apa betul kamu mencari pahala Allah?
Ia menjawab: Betul!
Maka jawab Nabi: Pulanglah, temui kedua orang tuamu itu, kemudian berbuat baiklah dalam bergaul dengan keduanya." (Riwayat Muslim)
Dan diriwayatkan dari Abdullah bin 'Amr bin 'Ash juga, ia berkata: "Ada seorang laki-laki datang kepada Nabi, kemudian berkata: saya datang berbai'at kepadamu untuk berhijrah, tetapi saya tinggalkan kedua orang tuaku dengan menangis
Maka jawab Nabi: Pulanglah dan perbuatlah kedua orang tuamu itu ketawa, sebagaimana kamu perbuat mereka menangis." (Riwayat Bukhari dan lain-lain)
Abu Said meriwayatkan: "Ada seorang laki-laki dari Yaman pergi ke tempat Nabi s.a.w.
Lantas Nabi bertanya: Apakah kamu masih mempunyai salah seorang keluarga di Yaman?
Ia menjawab: Ya, dua orang tua saya.
Nabi bertanya lagi: Apakah keduanya itu telah memberi izin kepadamu?
Ia menjawab: Tidak!
Kemudian Nabi bersabda: Pulanglah, dan minta izinlah kepada keduanya, kalau mereka itu memberi izin maka pergilah berperang, dan jika tidak, maka berbuat baiklah kepada keduanya." (Riwayat Abu Daud)
Dua Orang Tua yang Musyrik
Seindah-indah ajaran yang dibawa oleh Islam dalam hal bergaul dengan dua orang tua, di antaranya ialah Islam melarang berdurhaka kepada dua orang tua, sekalipun mereka itu musyrik, bahkan kendati mereka itu sungguh-sungguh dalam kemusyrikannya.
Mereka mengajak kepada anaknya untuk berbuat syirik dengan seluruh usaha dan perjuangan supaya anaknya pindah agama.
Dalam hal ini Allah telah berfirman sebagai berikut:
"Hendaklah kamu bersyukur kepadaku dan kepada dua orang tuamu; kepadakulah tempat kembali.
Dan jika mereka itu bersungguh-sungguh mempengaruhimu supaya kamu menyekutukan Aku dengan sesuatu yang kamu tidak mempunyai pengetahuan tentang itu, maka janganlah kamu turut mereka itu, tetapi berkawanlah dengan mereka di dunia ini dengan cara yang baik; dan ikutilah jalan orang yang taubat kepadaku; kemudian kepadakulah tempat kembalimu, maka akan kujelaskan kepadamu apa-apa yang telah kamu kerjakan." (Luqman: 14-15)
Setiap muslim diperintah dalam kedua ayat ini agar tidak mau menuruti kedua orang tua terhadap apa yang mereka usahakan dan mereka perintahkannya --dalam hal kedurhakaan-- sebab sedikitpun kita tidak boleh menurut manusia dalam hal durhaka kepada Allah (laa tha'ata limakhluqin fima'shiyatil khaliq).
Adakah maksiat yang lebih besar selain syirik?
Namun si anak tetap diperintah supaya bergaul dengan orang tuanya itu dengan sebaik-baiknya, dengan syarat tidak akan mempengaruhi kejernihan imannya.
Bahkan si anak dianjurkan supaya mengikuti orang-orang mu'min yang baik-baik yang mau taubat kepada Allah.
Si anak harus menyerahkan keputusannya itu kepada Allah yang maha teguh hukumnya kelak di hari di mana seorang ayah tidak akan dihukum lantaran perbuatan anaknya, begitu juga si anak tidak akan dihukum lantaran perbuatan ayahnya.
Inilah puncak toleransi yang tidak dapat dicapai oleh agama apapun, selain Islam.
Dewasa ini sudah ramai dikalangan anak anak zaman ini yang sudah berani berlaku derhaka terhadap ayah dan ibu mereka.
Mereka menganggap diri mereka lebih hebat dan terpelajar dari ibu dan bapa mereka dan sering berlaku biadap serta kurang ajar terhadap ayah bonda mereka.
Manusia biadap seperti ini lupa akan perintah Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala dan Rasul Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam supaya berlaku baik terhadap ibubapa mereka dan jangan sekali kali menyakitkan hati ibu dan bapa mereka yang tanpa salah seorang dari mereka tidak akan terjadinya diri mereka itu dan mustahil mereka akan dapat lahir kemuka bumi ini sebagai seorang manusia!
Selain dari Nabi Adam Alaihis Salam dan isteri baginda Sayyidatina Hawwa Radhiallahu Anha serta Nabi Isa ibni Maryam, sekelian manusia yang lain ada ibu dan ayah masing masing.
Sejarah peradaban manusia membuktikan bahawa sekiranya seseorang itu hendak diterima masyarakat sebagai seorang budiman, maka perilakunya terhadap ibu dan ayah kandung semestinya terbaik laku dan berhemah.
Bila ada anak yang derhaka terhadap ibu dan ayahnya, maka terlaknatlah si anak derhaka itu selagi belum meminta ampun maaf dari kedua atau salah seorang dari mereka yang telah disakitinya samada dengan kata kata, penulisan atau kelakuan.
Ada bukti bukti yang nyata akan nasib anak yang derhaka ini.
Sudah banyak kali peristiwa peristiwa anak anak derhaka terhadap orang tuanya disaksikan secara nyata didalam kehidupan ini.
Jangan main main dengan orangtua.
Tidak ada hijab diantara ibubapa dengan Tuhan Rabbul Alamin.
Do'a mereka pasti dimakbulkan Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala!
When I came across this photo of Malaysian Prime Minister Dato Seri Najib Tun Razak, his wife Datin Seri Rosmah Mansor and what looks like his son in the background performing their tawaf around the Kaabah in Masjidil Haram, I breathed a sigh of relief and prayer that there is still some hope for Najib to 'tarbiyyah' his wife to cover her modesty as commanded by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala in Surah An Noor Chapter 24 Verse 31:
31. Waqul lilmu/minati yaghdudna min absarihinna wayahfathna furoojahunna wala yubdeena zeenatahunna illa mathahara minha walyadribna bikhumurihinna AAala juyoobihinna wala yubdeena zeenatahunna illa libuAAoolatihinna aw aba-ihinna aw aba-i buAAoolatihinna aw abna-ihinna aw abna-i buAAoolatihinna aw ikhwanihinna aw banee ikhwanihinna aw banee akhawatihinna aw nisa-ihinna aw ma malakat aymanuhunna awi alttabiAAeena ghayri olee al-irbati mina alrrijali awi alttifli allatheena lam yathharoo AAala AAawrati alnnisa-i wala yadribna bi-arjulihinna liyuAAlama ma yukhfeena min zeenatihinna watooboo ila Allahi jameeAAan ayyuha almu/minoona laAAallakum tuflihoona
31. And say to the believing women that they should lower their gaze and guard their modesty; that they should not display their beauty and ornaments except what (must ordinarily) appear thereof; that they should draw their veils over their bosoms and not display their beauty except to their husbands, their fathers, their husband's fathers, their sons, their husbands' sons, their brothers or their brothers' sons, or their sisters' sons, or their women, or the slaves whom their right hands possess, or male servants free of physical needs, or small children who have no sense of the shame of sex; and that they should not strike their feet in order to draw attention to their hidden ornaments. And O ye Believers! turn ye all together towards Allah, that ye may attain Bliss.
How come Rosmah Mansor doesn't do the same when she is here in Malaysia or elsewhere around the whole wide world?
A question to Malaysia's so called 'First Lady': Err..do you think that Allah Azza Wa Jalla can't see you outside of Makkah al Mukarramah?
I'm serious.
There are a whole damn lot of people who claim to be Muslims, totally not bothered about the above shown commandments of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala when they are not within the precincts of the holy places of Islam.
This same blatant attitude of performing theatrics by donning the clothes and garbs of Al Islam is quite visible when one observes how some so called Muslims from here and especially the Arab countries do not bother to cover up when visiting our country here and Malaysian 'Muslims' travel abroad to the Non Muslim countries.
Maybe they think that Allah the All Knowing, All Seeing God of us all can't see them when they are abroad or in 'exclusive' 5 star establishments or private luxurious palaces and mansions?
They can even outdo the Westerners as far as holding extravaganzas in partying all night long, etc.
I have received visuals and emails of some of the going ons in the so called VVIP do's that made me just delete them as soon as I caught a glimpse of who it was that were in those pictures.
Surely Allah Azza Wa Jalla knows best as to all their misdeeds and as a Muslim blogger I just do not wish to highlight such slanderous behaviors of my fellow ummah yet this photo above tells me that yes!
Even our Raja Permaisuri Agong can cover her modesty in public, how come the rest of these 'sanggul karan' fashionistas can't get themselves covered? Huh?
Are they much more classier than our Queen? Can't they follow our Queen's example?
Rosmah Mansor CAN cover her aurat there in Masjidil Haram and Najib Tun Razak being our 1Malaysia PM still has hope of becoming a true Muslim husband as per his rights and ought to take this cue to get his wife to toe the line as per covering her aurat as commanded by Allahu Ta'ala!
I for one wish to tell 'Tok' Najib that he has my wholehearted support in this case!
Tell her that Allah Sees her all the time, wherever she may be!
Insya Allah!
* I know for sure that the Islamophobes and 'Mullah bashers' will only be too happy to whack those of us who voice out for the so called Muslim leaders of Malaysia to walk the talk and prove it to us that they too can do it! Not just the likes of the 'Infallible Ones' out there. :)
So asks a fellow blogger and reader of mine, Norzah?
Well, brother Norzah, the only marriage that took place in heaven that I learned of during my days of involvement in the Tariqah Naqsyabandiah is that of our Father Sayyidina Adam Alaihis Salam and our Mother Sayyidatina Hawwa Radhiallahu Anha!
Sayyidina Adam Alaihis Salam and Sayyidatina Hawwa Radhiallahu Anha were married by Sayyidina Jibril Alaihis Salam and witnessed by Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala after they were purified by the waters of Jannatul Firdaus and dressed in the heavenly clothes awarded to them by Ar Rahman Ar Raheem and witnessed also by the General Assembly of all the Heavenly Malaikats.
This is what I as a Muslim who believes in the Unseen God Allah Rabbul Alameen and in the Yaum al Ghaib believe to be so.
The saying that all marriages are made in heaven is just a human invocation based upon the general tendency by Mankind to place all goodness to heaven and otherwise to Hell.
The reality that Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala has revealed in the Holy Al Quranul Kareem that He will not change the Fate of Mankind till Mankind changes it him or herself must be taken into consideration when pondering about this subject!
11. Lahu muAAaqqibatun min bayni yadayhi wamin khalfihi yahfathoonahu min amri Allahi inna Allaha la yughayyiru ma biqawmin hatta yughayyiroo ma bi-anfusihim wa-itha arada Allahu biqawmin soo-an fala maradda lahu wama lahum min doonihi min walin
11. For each (such person) there are (angels) in succession, before and behind him: They guard him by command of Allah. Verily never will Allah change the condition of a people until they change it themselves (with their own souls). But when (once) Allah willeth a people's punishment, there can be no turning it back, nor will they find, besides Him, any to protect.
Now, to address the subject of mismatches in marriage.
As I have stated in my previous article as to the subject of divorce and as to whether there is life after such a tragedy, I reiterate that it is we who decide as to whether we choose to suffer in our mismatched marriage or we choose to end it once and for all and start our life all over again albeit having to suffer losing all that we had worked hard to save and store the earthly wealth and necessary material needs in order to sustain ourselves.
Those who have gone through divorce know what I mean but it also depends on the state of one's financial standings as to whether one would still be able to live as one used to depending on what one has managed to save or store up for meeting the consequences of being free from the miserable union of marriage that one was unfortunately caught or trapped in before?
As in my case, I lost practically everything that I had, literally!!!
Save for my never say die and can do attitude, I survived!
How many others can do the same?
God knows!
I blame no one but myself for rushing into such a marriage as I did before.
I wasn't as able to weigh the consequences of such a life changing decision back then as I am able to now, after having crossed the threshold age of being half a century old now.
51 years old come this October, Insya Allah!
To answer Norzah, I say that it is we ourselves who screw up in marrying those who aren't exactly our soulmates based upon our state of mind and intellect or rather the lack of it when we do so for the very first time.
Allah has left it to us to decide on our own free will.
Marriages after Adam AS and Hawwa RA are not made in heaven, anymore.
Heaven is innocent of such a charge or assumption.
You who are about to marry, please do so only if you are a 100% sure that he or she is really the one that you want to live with for the rest of your life's!!!
Divorce is a very messy thing, I can promise you that.
Not many will have the strength to live through that gauntlet of fire I tell you! Some get singed for life! Some end up half cooked and miserable for the rest of their lives.
My ex continues to hassle me to this day with her endless sms's.
Sheeesh......
Please do decide well and after a thorough background check of your intended mate.
You do not want to end up in living with a devil in disguise, do you?
May Allah bless and protect us all from ourselves.
Our foolishness in willing to assume that everything that shines is gold and every smiling persona who comes our way is the promised one?
Yeah right!
Hehehehe....
Better to be safe...than sorry!
Don't you agree?
I leave you with the King of Rock n Roll's take on this : Devil in Disguise
You look like an angel Walk like an angel Talk like an angel But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise Oh yes you are The devil in disguise
You fooled me with your kisses You cheated and you schemed Heaven knows how you lied to me You're not the way you seemed
You look like an angel Walk like an angel Talk like an angel But I got wise
You're the devil in disguise Oh yes you are The devil in disguise
I thought that I was in heaven But I was sure surprised Heaven help me, I didn't see The devil in your eyes
You look like an angel Walk like an angel Talk like an angel
But I got wise You're the devil in disguise Oh yes you are The devil in disguise
Michael Jackson (MJ) was known as the most loving person in the world. He gave up most of his assets for charity and all his life, he fought for equality of the African Americans, AIDS victims, Against Drug Abuse, Against Abortion, Against Child Labor and secretly channeled his properties for the hungry children of the world.
However, he wasn't feeling peace in his heart. He always thought of himself as being a child trapped inside a man's body.
Being Peter Pan is all his dreams, never to grow up, forever a child.
That led him to build Neverland - a heaven for children. Children of all ages and races were welcomed to Neverland. MJ had so much love to give.
However, he made a mistake which he didn't know of the consequences. He saw the peaceful life his brother, Jermaine (Muhammad Abdul Aziz) had as a Muslim - true, Jermaine faced so much pressure that he moved to Bahrain .
In 1989, MJ made a press conference which shocked the world, "I have seen the Islam in the life of my brother, I have read the books about Islam. And I'd love to someday feel the calmness and peace of Islam...."
Since that, MJ's life was never the same again.
He was accused of so many accusations of child molestations. MJ was not someone who can deal with much pressure as he was a 'delicate child'.
All the extortions and black mail followed after that. Everything he did was seen as wrong in the eyes of the Media. All these were to influence his fans to start hating MJ. If he is hated, then he would not be influential anymore.
For several years, he stayed in England .
Getting motivation from a long time friend, Cat Stevens, who had converted into Islam - named Yusuf Islam. From him, MJ learnt how Yusuf had survived being a Muslim. He made friends with a song writer, Zain Bhikha too, who wrote a song titled, "GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH", which he wanted MJ to sing whenever he was ready.
Following his trial, MJ withdrew to Bahrain , where he was the special guest of Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the son of Bahrain’s king.
It was then that Michael began to give conversion to Islam more “serious thought.” MJ stayed in Bahrain for approximately 3 years. He studied Islam, the prayers and learn to read the Koran (al-Quran). Finally, he came back to Los Angeles and in November 2008 MJ had formally converted to Islam in a ceremony at a close friend’s house in Los Angeles .
He performed Haj with the King of Bahrain and son on December 2008.
He had a hidden agenda when he wanted to make a final comeback. He announced in a press conference on March 2009, "This will be my final concert. I'll see you all in July...."
He planned that during his concert, he would announce that this is the FINAL concert as he wouldn't be performing anymore. He will declare that he is a Muslim and will only sing with Yusuf Islam and Friends.
At the end of the concert, he will be singing the song, "GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH" with Yusuf Islam.
That is the reason why he chose London as his final concert venue instead of the USA . It was because he thought he could escape the USA 's extortion, and that he could perform with yusuf Islam who is in England .
At 12.30am, 25th June 2009, he hugged his production manager and said, "After reherasing for 2 months, I am finally ready for the concert..."
Before leaving to sleep, he waved his dancers, "It was a good night everyone. I'll see you all tomorrow..."
The next thing... He was pronounced dead at 2.26am....
When 911 was called, there are so much questions asked. It is as if they didn't know who MJ is and where he lived.?
The questions asked are more towards to delay time.
The hospital said the autopsy result can only be obtained after 2 months - very illogical as even the worst African technology could obtain the result in less than 2 weeks.
MJ's family members opt for second private autopsy as they started to feel something fishy is going on.
The result came out in about 4 days - MJ was drugged with high dosage of anaesthetic - drug that brings about a reversible loss of consciousness, if used to much could stop the heart from beating.
Another result which was not aired in the media was, MJ's stomach is empty of this drug, but his blood were filled with it - same case as the death of Marilyn Monroe.
The private doctors also found many needle marks, afraid to be forced injections given to MJ on his bed.
In CNN Live after a week, Barack Obama was interviewed. And he said, "I love MJ, I grew up listening to his songs.. It is a great loss, but rest assured that there is no conspiracy in his death..."
Now, why must a President made such statement before the official autopsy result came out?
How would he know that there is no conspiracy without the post-mortem result? Seems like someone is afraid of his shadows.
MJ was known to the world as a person who is against drug abuse. Why must he be addicted to drug, then?
If he wanted to commit suicide, why rehearse for his concert? And why will he want to see his dancers the next day?
Enough about his death. I am sure people around the world is not stupid anymore.
These supreme power can fool us during the Marilyn Monroe conspiracy, Martin Luther King and Princess Diana.
But in this MJ's case, they left too many loopholes for those who think...!!
MJ left us with this unfinished studio-recorded song, GIVE THANKS TO ALLAH.
MJ's family was about to give him a Muslim burial with the help of The Brotherhood of Islam.
But, the CIA showed up at Neverland's door - blackmailed them that if they do so publicly, Katherine (MJ's mother) would be pull off from MJ's 3 children's custody as well as MJ's estates.
Instead, they'll hire Debbie Rowe for the purpose, and the court will be in their favour. So much for democracy and fairness...
Finally, they agreed to let MJ have a Muslim Burial in Neverland. But in condition, must show to the public a Christian Memorial Service, as to prove to the world that MJ was never a Muslim.
So, Staples Centre was just a normal show. That's why the coffin was closed and sealed.
MJ was buried days earlier. The Gold Coffin was empty. They were about to bury the Coffin according to Christianity ways in Hollywood - as in their deal with the USA Government.
These happened, because the USA is afraid of the rising numbers of Muslims in the world..
(Sheikh Ha**d) The Brotherhood of Islam Buletin of Bahrain
In the wake of all the revelations and reports of Michael Jackson having converted to Islam witnessed by his so called close friends in the music industry, namely Brother Yusuf Islam @ the former Cat Stevens, Davud Wharmsby and another, all these personalities came up with denials in their respective websites.
Each gave excuses that they were never there at the so called place of Michael Jackson's conversion to Islam and the way they did so smells of something fishy.
Anyway I leave that to Allah the Almighty for it is He Who Knows All that there is to the actual story with regard us to the conversion of MJ if it did take place or not?
We all know that these personalities depend on their individual musical efforts sales in order to survive in these challenging times.
Conversion to Islam amongst these icons of the global music industry has its implications in the overall global explosion of mankind embracing Islam and these celebrities have legions of fans all over the world.
It's not that Islam needs such celebrities to propagate the true faith from Almighty Allah but the consequences of the powers that be allowing the exposure of such embracing of the world's fastest growing religion of Allah if not curtailed can bring about the collapse of the world's major superpowers namely the governments of the USA, UK, European Countries, Communists Russia, China, India, etc.
The Middle East governments who have neglected to uphold the tenets of true Islamic governing principles are pressured into adopting the so called Western way of life that largely celebrates the hedonistic way of life and liberalism in social conduct and character.
Already conservative societies in Asia are slowly but surely starting to lose their inhibitions and are getting enamored with debauchery, sexual depravity, molestations, rape and incest causing the moral fiber of our civilizations unraveling by each passing day.
Islam is seen as a threat to all these propagators of the Western so called civilization because it stands firm upholding the principles of Life that Almighty Allah commands us to hold on to in the face of all the onslaught of these destructive elements of human misbehavior.
People in the West often find themselves empty in their hearts and seek peace and salvation by travelling to the East to seek more meaning to their materialistic lives.
Not all happiness can be attained by having wealth alone. So the ones who are tired of all the hypocrisy in living their lives as dictated to by the West slowly but surely get attracted to the truth and peace found in true Islam.
Personalities such as Cat Stevens, Davud Wharmsby, etc found that peace in Islam but still they are dependent on their careers as music industry icons in order to continue with their lives.
Not many would want to live a frugal life after having tasted splendor and luxury for almost their entire lives before becoming Muslims.
Hence the gradual losing of their Islamic identities after facing the tremendous pressure from those who still control as to how they get to make their living as music icons.
The reality that Islam continues to draw these music legends to its bosom causes many of the Western leaders to a stage where they are going all out to stem the flood of these icons becoming and ending up as Muslims.
Throughout our modern history, we learn that there have been an endless stream of converts or reverts to Al Islam as shown by the following video :
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bless them all and give them a befitting end to their earthly lives here and grant them Jannah in the Yaum al Akhirat.
Ameen.
I do not know for sure as to the realities affecting MJ's funeral and as to whether it is true that that was an empty coffin as alleged by the writer above?
Yet it does cause one to think as to its possibilities. What if the report above is but the real truth as to what transpired?
A subject that not many would want to dwell upon but which is a sad reality affecting many all around the world.
In today's materialistic world, many couples live a strained life devoid of true love and compassion.
As a result, domestic squabble and violence takes place almost daily in the life's of couples who got married not due to love but circumstances.
A marriage of convenience. A marriage born out of pity. A marriage due to forced pregnancies. A marriage that is arranged. A marriage to strengthen family or business ties.
All kinds of marriages take place today and when such marriages turn sour, the ones who suffer most are the children from such hasty unions.
When we speak about divorce, many suffering spouses fear to cross that line because they have become so dependent on their beaus to such a stage that they can't imagine living life all alone?
Some spouses abuse their partners so much that they resort to physical abuse such as assault and battery. Some drive their partners nuts to such an extent that the suffering victims border on the verge of a mental breakdown and turn insane!
I myself lived through such a marriage before and I confess to almost losing my mind myself due to the tremendous pressure and mental agony that only those who are in similar situations can imagine how it feels to live a life full of delusions and false pretenses.
In our Asian society, suffering couples often put up a show that all's well when in reality raging tempests drive them nuts within the walls of their homes.
When I divorced, custody of my two children, a son and a daughter went to their mother. I also surrendered whatever little property I had to them and started a new life from scratch. I came to KL with just a given shirt on my back.
For almost a year, my tears would stream down my cheeks whenever I saw children who resembled my own. I yearned for them and missed them like hell.
I was not allowed to speak to them and lost all contact with them. I only got to see my daughter when we attended the funeral of my niece who passed away due to a doctor's botched prescription for her health condition.
I do not wish to dwell too much on all that has happened since then but now my kids are all grown up yet they do not bother to contact me even when my number has been published so prominently on my blog.
What an irony when in reality there are so many out there who communicate with me online asking me to accept them as my foster sons or daughters.
I am blessed to have met my match in my wife now who has been a pillar of support, love and care beyond words. May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bless and reward her always.
I can't do much to change things but my prayers have always been for the safety and well being of my flesh and blood.
Sometimes I come across cyber friends and contacts who confess to me of the abuse that they are going through at the hands of their husbands or even wives.
Same question arises.
Is there life after divorce? Depends.
Whether you have it in you to reestablish your life once again.
Learn not to repeat the same mistakes and avoid falling into the same old traps and quagmires out there.
I can only say a silent prayer that the rest of my life will be a blessed one as I am currently living in.
We can't change yesterday but God willing we can make a change tomorrow.
Get real and decide as to whether you want to suffer in silence for the rest of your life or start life anew with a better more understanding and loving spouse.
Insya Allah.
As for the children of divorced parents, there are some things they would never understand for they were not in the shoes of their parents.
Irreconcilable differences are better settled through divorce than put the entire family at mortal danger for the threat of violence that might just ensue when a party is pushed to the limits and might just react and retaliate in a way that might just be harmful for everyone concerned.
Don't blame one parent for the faults of another when things take place without any signs or warnings.
I for one just hope that my kids will be safe from harm and for them to learn to stand on their own two feet now that they are all grown up.
They ought to know better as to how to conduct themselves and be responsible for their actions.
May Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala bless and protect us all.
A gathering of fellow Malaysians who are both sad and enraged about the unexplained death of Teo Beng Hock, political secretary to one of the Selangor Exco members who was taken to the MACC @ Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission's Selangor HQ at Plaza Massalam in Shah Alam and subsequently found dead atop the roof in the next morning!
I don't see why the citizens who have gathered to express their sorrows and frustrations over the death of Teo Beng Hock can't be left to express themselves to vent their anger over the way a young man who was due to be married yesterday is now dead and the MACC denies any involvement in this unnecessary loss of life!
Why do the authorities need to arrest and roughen up people who are naturally affected by the death of their colleague?
Are Malaysians not free to express ourselves anymore?
Are we supposed to swallow our tears and stick our head between our thighs and pretend that this death didn't take place?
Does it make any difference that Beng Hock was a Chinese and Non Muslim so we who are Muslims are supposed to ignore this killing and to be deaf, dumb and blind to something as horrible as this death of a fellow Son of Adam Alaihis Salam?
Hell No!!!
Teo Beng Hock did not deserve to die! What was his crime???
He was brought to the MACC to be grilled overnight purposely! His person was taken into custody by the MACC!
The MACC is to be held responsible over his safety yet here we are looking at the way a witness has died and no one accepts responsibility over his death!!!
Why the hell is there no CCTV at a government agency!
You have CCTV's all over shopping malls and every imaginable building in this so called developing nation but some idiot conveniently 'forgets' to install CCTV's at a building where our nation's Malaysian Anti Corruption Commission operates!!!
Don't tell me we have no funds for such an important part of an important government agency to record and monitor the comings and goings of people being brought in for questioning or does that only take place in Hollywood movies?
We have funds to explode fireworks up in the night sky for every imagined celebrations possible but the MACC building does not have money to install CCTV's!!!
Totally unacceptable!
Now back to the matter of all these arrests taking place at every gathering of civilians who have the right to make their voices heard when a tragedy or injustice such as this takes place!
Why are Malaysians being arrested for no rhyme or reason? Is it because they opened their mouths and cursed the police gathered there?
They were cursing the MACC, right? They have the right to do so, don't they?
After all, Teo Beng Hock was there under orders of the MACC, wasn't he?
If someone in the gathering says something unlawful against the police around them, then the PDRM will have grounds to take action against him or her according to the provisions of the penal code but this is a gathering of sorrow?!!!
A gathering to express the people's outrage over the death of Teo Beng Hock who was so alive the day before and suddenly be found dead overnight after spending the entire night and early morning hours of being interrogated for so bloody long???
Surely Beng Hock's family and friends have the right to be outraged over his 'sudden death'?
What hell kind of a justice system do we have or are purported to have?
I am sad to say that after all that has happened and is happening, the Justice System of Malaysia is just a mirage!
The Malaysian citizens are exposed to all kinds of danger and the authorities almost always never fail to live up to the accusations that they can not be trusted!
Those in power and authority might think that they can get away with even murder but for a Muslim like me, I know for sure that Almighty Allah is watching every move we make and we will all be answerable for all that we do!
The Malaikats Raqib and Atid on our right and left shoulders record each and everything that we do and we will be brought to face Allah Azza Wa Jalla in the Yaum al Mahsyar!
Teo Beng Hock will have his justice then.
For the time being, all I can ask is that you my fellow Malaysians to please watch out for yourselves and your loved ones.
Do not take your safety and freedom for granted for there is no guarantee that what happened to Beng Hock might not befall us no matter who or what we are?
Take all precautions and don't trust anyone! I really mean it!
Get legal protection and have your lawyer's contact number in your cellphone and inform him or her if you are arrested or taken in by any agency or what the hell ever!
First and foremost, my deepest condolences to the family of the late Teo Beng Hock, 30, political secretary of a Selangor DAP Exco member who was found dead atop the roof of the MACC Selangor HQ!
What a tragic way for a young man to die like this!
How can a corruption investigation result in a death of a person who was supposed to be there as a witness and not as a suspect?
Not to say that it's okay for corruption suspects to be killed or what but this death is just out of the ordinary!
Really unexplainable!
Picture shows a healthy Teo on the phone while a MACC officer is seen speaking to Selangor Exco member Ean Yong Hian Wah during the MACC raid at the Selangor Exco's office yesterday.
It's a real mystery as to the real causes which has led to his death!
Police are investigating. Let's all hope that the truth is revealed very soon for this is a very unhealthy development in our nation's political arena.
It's too soon for anyone to point fingers at who we think is responsible?
Maybe there would have been security close circuit television recordings in the building which might shed a clue?
This is a real case of whodunit? Was it a misadventure on his part or what? God knows....
I feel sad because I hear that Teo is supposed to be married today but then this tragedy has snuffed his young life out!
Really sad for his betrothed. My sympathies to her, whoever she might be?
Justice must be done and the truth be made known to all, no matter what!
We can't accept that he simply jumped off a building when he had so much to live for?
Cases concerning corruption are said to be tied to all kinds of people including word going around that the Chinese triads are involved in the running of the Selangor Government of the day, etc.
People can say anything but where's the proof?
Without proof, such words turn into Fitnah @ Slander and slander is said to be more terrible than even murder!
So, my advice to those saying things which they aren't too sure about is to be aware of one's words for they might just lead one to a situation one wouldn't be too glad or happy to be in!
Let the police handle the case proper but at the same time, all parties involved would do best not to stoke the fires of dissent to the state of triggering off something that none would be proud of starting?
Teo Beng Hock died tragically. We don't need to see further loss of life or bloodshed in our nation!
Justice must be upheld and the true causes of Teo's death be determined but please avoid stoking the fires of hate and racism amongst the masses in our moments of grief and despair over his death!
Teo wouldn't want that. Let his soul rest in peace. Find the cause! Spare no one!
The truth behind his death must be told, no matter what!
Wahai saudara saudari Ikhwanul Muslimin na wal Muslimat sekelian.
Hari ini Khamis, 23hb Rejab, 1430 Hijrah. Bersamaan 16hb Julai 2009 Masehi.
Esok hari Jumaat, penghulu segala hari dan hari dimana dikatakan akan berlaku Kiamat.
Bukan saya nyatakan disini bahawa esok hari Kiamat tetapi bahawa dari apa yang telah saya belajar bahawa Hari Kiamat itu akan berlaku pada hari Jumaat!
Saya mengaku sejak mengetahui perkara ini, menjelang sahaja hari Jumaat, dada saya kan berdebar debar, memikirkan betapa gunungan dosa yang pernah saya lakukan semasa saya di alam jahiliyyah peribadi!
Setelah menjangkau usia 50an , saya sedar bahawa ajal saya semakin hampir dan lagu diatas ini menginsafkan saya bahawa masih terlalu banyak usaha yang belum sempurna saya lakukan.
Belum lagi kesempatan menginjakkan kaki yang hina ini ditanah suci Makkah al Mukkarramah dan Madinah al Munawwarah.
Belum sempat lagi mata ini menatap Baitullah al Haram, kiblat arah solat kita sedunia.
Belum sempat lagi menziarahi bumi para anbiya dan solihin di jazirah benua Arab dan Timur Tengah.
Saya teringat betapa saya menangis tersedu sedu menatap kain Qiswa penutup Kaabah di Muzium Kesenian Islam di ibukota Kuala Lumpur.
Berlinangan airmata saya menyedari akan ketidakpastian saya berkesempatan mengunjungi Masjidil Haram sebelum maut datang menjemput saya.
Lagu ini menginsafkan saya akan kesementaraan hidup saya ini.
Ya Ikhwanul Muslimin, didalam kehidupan dunia yang fana ini, segala nya berlaku dengan pantas membenarkan sabda Nabi Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam bahawa di Akhir Zaman, kita akan hidup dilanda pelbagai fitnah yang belum pernah di hadapi manusia sebelum kita.
Bilamana saya menyedari akan hakikat kebenaran kata kata Nabi itu, maka gementar jiwa ini menyesali diri bahawa masih banyak yang belum sempat saya usahakan untuk menyucikan diri ini untuk menghadap Malaikatul Maut yang senantiasa memantau jiwa ini.
Wallahu `alam samada saya kan sempat menyediakan diri menghadap Sakaratul Maut yang dikatakan sengsara dan azabnya seperti ditetak dengan pedang tajam lebih 300 kali!!!
Ya Allah! Ampunkan lah segala dosa dosa ku dan tanggungan ku, hambaMu yang lemah dan hina ini.
Jauhilah ku dan keluargaku serta Muslimin dan Muslimat, Mukminin dan Mukminat baik yang masih hidup mahupun yang telah kembali kepada Mu Ya Rahman dari mati didalam Su`ul Khatimah ( Seburuk buruk Pengakhiran)!
Berikan lah kami Ya Allah, kematian didalam Husnul Khatimah, (Sebaik baik penamat).
Braving obstacles and hardships is nobler than retreat to tranquility.
The butterfly that hovers around the lamp until it dies is more admirable than the mole that hides in the dark tunnel! ~@~
Kahlil Gibran.
Society nowadays tends to be more individualistic than what it once was?
The human nature to fend for oneself has in a way outgrown all aspects of communal care for the good of the community worldwide.
When traits such as courage and perseverance starts to disappear from the characters of most members of the human society, the ensuing degradation of Mankind often rears its ugly head and society tends to become aloof at the sufferings and misfortune that befalls the unlucky ones amongst us.
I am not saying that all human society have gone to such waste but just pointing out the general tendencies nowadays to be more concerned about 'What is it in for me' instead of 'What can I do to help others?'
The celebrated parables of long ago and exhilarating speeches of leaders past fail to stir the masses into becoming true champions and heroes of humankind all over the world.
Courage is simply not there anymore in the hearts and minds of our fellow humans when faced with the despots and dictators of the world.
Instead, we have foolhardiness take pride of place in the befuddled minds of young adults and which at times pits them against the brunt of officialdom which wields a devastating cudgel against those who dare to question their dictatorship and often imperial ways.
When liberalists pursue a changing of their society through the breaking down of long held taboos and religious fundamentalism as we saw take place in Iran recently, confrontation between the old guard and the reformists is inevitable.
Yet the world witnessed how it is only the common citizens who have to face the brunt of the counter assault by the ones in power through their security and law enforcement agencies and left many bloodied and even killed in the name of change.
Courage to stand up to the ones in authority almost always ends up in bloodshed and loss of life yet those who die are seldom the ones who stand to gain from such reform.
This is where we need to evaluate as to whether the so called champions of change and reform do stand their ground with the people or escape to save their hide as soon as the going gets tough?
I have seen this hypocritical act of cowardice take place over and over again no matter where it is in this whole wide world.
The courageous are often the opinionated young members of the student movements who in actual fact often turn out to be the leaders of the future!
Their perseverance ought to be celebrated as well in wanting to see the ousting of the ones reeking of corruption and abuse of their positions in the running or ruining of their individual nations.
Every country has its own fair share of such stories of courageous ones spearheading reform and revolution to dispel their nation of the parasites in power.
The overall makeup of the youths in my country is that those who are university and college students never fail to become the next generation of thinkers and activists to stir up the masses into voicing out and speaking up against those who wield seemingly limitless powers in making sure that no one gets to dethrone them from their seats of power, fame, fortune and glory till the next general elections.
Anyone who dares to castigate the high and mighty often find themselves penalized almost instantly before they had time to even blink!
I recall the case where an NTV7 talk show host Florence Looi was immediately taken to task and transferred to a desk job when one of the participants in her show speaking about the new Malaysian Prime Minister Dato Seri Mohd Najib Tun Razak graded his first 100 days in office as a mediocre grade 'C' or 'D' which had drawn the wrath of those in charge of the private television station.
'Mimosa pudica'! Touch me nots in authority.
It takes courage and perseverance to voice up all these and there are not that many around who dare do it for the sake of bringing about true change to the nation here or others around the globe.
I pray that over time we will still be able to see the young voices and brave hearted ones amongst our populace stand up and speak with honor and dignity before the wrongdoers.
If we fail to support and nurture these courageous heroes persevering against all odds as we have seen through the years, I shudder to think of the consequences when what was prophesied by Muhammad Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam before really comes to pass and we will have the worst amongst us clenching and clamping down onto the seats of power, ruthlessly downtrodding the people just so they might live in pomp and splendour.
I would like to speak about the matter that many shy away from or only grumble and mumble in their hearts not willing to raise the subject for fear of reprisals or persecution from those whom they complain about?
It's not like our nation is lacking of laws and rules that cover almost every aspect of our lives.
Far from it. In fact laws are being drafted and enacted at almost every parliament or state assembly sittings.
It's mind boggling when one looks at the audacious zeal and vigor of the members of parliament or the various state assemblymen or women in wanting to call for the establishment of this law and that law to make their mark in the chapters in this nation's history or leave a legacy that their descendants can be proud of?
Now, I don't mind the enactment of all these man made laws if they are of benefit to society and help to improve the safety and security of our nation and its citizens.
The problem is the glaring lack of law enforcement on the part of those who are elected or appointed to see to its implementation.
There is a very serious lack of commitment on the part of almost the entire civil work force of the ruling governments, be they from the federal, state or local authorities.
Let me share with you some very sickening lack of law enforcement in several areas of our life:
Traffic laws.
Things as simple as enforcing traffic rules and laws are a daily headache for motorists whose path is narrowed by indiscriminate double parking of vehicles on already narrowed roads and driveways of the nation.
Malaysian motorists are notorious for parking as they please with total disregard for any of the traffic regulations in most city areas and its worse in the suburbs.
Most that the local authorities do is to write and issue summons and leave it under the car's wipers. The recalcitrant drivers seldom bother about these summons and just chuck it off.
The local authorities aren't synchronized with the Road Transport Department in making sure that the offenders don't get to renew their road tax and insurance until they settle their fines, etc. or are compounded with demerit points that will lead to the cancellation of their driving licenses for repeat offenders!
In the front entrance to my apartment, there is a large yellow box on the road forbidding the parking of any vehicles but almost without fail, there will be many cars parked right in the middle of that yellow box like nobody's business every night making it hard for us residents to drive in and out from our apartments.
Calls made to DBKL are usually not picked up or if they surprisingly do are often given cock and bull stories that the enforcement squad are not available, bla bla bla.
Vandalism.
Vandals operate at whim and have no respect at all about public amenities or infrastructure. You will come across road signs that are almost hidden by all kinds of adverts and postings of loan sharks, satellite tv promotions, job vacancies, etc.
I wonder why the hell are the local authorities allowing all these to take place and why their officers are so bloody clueless in not being able to apprehend and charge these perpetrators?
The mobile numbers displayed obviously when traced can lead to the identities of those who post such notices as the nation's telecommunication service providers are now enforcing the registration of all telephone subscribers no matter whether they be land lines or mobile phone services.
All that the law enforcement personnel need to do is to call those numbers, fix an appointment with them under pretext of acquiring their services and go nail those buggers with all that the law provides by furnishing proof and evidence of such illegal posting of their notices by taking pictures or videos of such trespassing of the rules and laws governing such vandalism of public amenities!
Be creative! Do not waste precious time and resources by goofing away all day long and not do the job that they are paid for so handsomely together with all the perks and allowances that they are getting!
I can keep going on and on, listing the many areas of our life here that are being made to be so miserable by the serious lack of law enforcement by those who are employed and paid so well yet do nothing much to stop the rot taking place in this country.
I just hope that the ones who are in charge of this nation no matter that they be from the BN or the Opposition really do their jobs as the people have elected them to do so in the first place.
Has the world conveniently forgotten about the Israeli regime's Massacre of the Palestinian civilians in Gaza?
They have been massacring the Palestinians ever since the British and American colonialists handed over Palestine to the Zionists on a silver platter, robbing the Palestinians of everything that they have and had! Read here to learn more.
Who cares about the mass murder of the occupied Palestinians by the Tel Aviv rogue Zionist regime before the eyes of the whole wide world?
I came across this version of Michael Jackson's music video 'They Don't Care About Us' featuring the massacre of Palestinians and can't help publishing it here to jar you awake to the reality that the world now conveniently chooses to ignore.
Does anyone really care?
Now I hear that the Saudis have tacitly agreed to allow the Israelis to fly over the Arabian peninsular to go bomb Iran back to oblivion and US Vice President Joe Biden has said that Israel being a 'sovereign nation' has the right to do as it pleases to protect itself against the Islamic Republic of Iran!
I came across this incident reported by Joachim Francis Xavier in an online group to which I am subscribed complaining about the actions of two Al Islam Magazine Malay Muslim journalists who had infiltrated the Catholic Church recently to investigate the authenticity of news that there are many young Malays who have apostatized from Islam and attending church services at a church near the Puduraya Terminal, here in Kuala Lumpur.
Mr.Joachim protests against this infiltration into the church by the two Muslim journalists and feels grossly insulted by their actions where the two Muslims had taken part in the Christian prayer rituals and even taken mass communion by swallowing the wafer offered by the priests which they then had spat out and taken photos which are published along with their expose in the Al Islam Magazine's May 2009 edition which I have attached in this article.
Mr Joachim and another Malaysian Christian Mr.Sughadaran Stanley have lodged a police report attached herewith in this article as well against this blatant intrusion and spying act of those two Muslim journalists which they consider as a gross act of insult against their church and Christian faith!
As a Malaysian Muslim blogger, I try my level best to see things from a balanced and fair point of view and I believe that what the two investigative journalists from Al Islam Magazine have done is wrong and they ought to issue an apology to the Christian community concerned.
If we are to look at this matter from the Islamic perspective, there are some pros and cons with regard to the matter of knowing what the 'enemy' is up to and yet we need to also be righteous in our handling of matters such as apostasy and why such cases arise in the first place whereby the Muslims or those who are supposed to be in authority over the Muslims affairs have neglected to nurture and oversee the Muslim ummah in general leading to such straying of some members of the flock so to speak?
I understand that maybe those Al Islam Magazines's journalists thought that they had no other options but to go undercover in order to discover whether there is any truth with regard to the reports and rumours going around that there is a clandestine operation by the Christian Church here in Malaysia to apostatize the weak faithed amongst the Malay Muslims of Malaysia into becoming Christians?
I wonder also if the journalists concerned would have received permission from the church to investigate or do a proper study as to the accusations against the Christian Church that they are involved in such an agenda against the Muslims of this nation?
Yet this undercover operation by the two concerned journalists gives concern as to where we should draw the line as far as getting stories to publish in the newspapers, magazines and online web portals , socio-political-religious blogs or web forums are concerned?
I have asked some prominent Muslims here amongst the Malaysian Ummah about this matter and this is what they have to say about it?
The President of the Malaysian Scholar Association or Persatuan Ulama Malaysia, the learned Dato’ Sheikh Hj. Abdul Halim bin Abd Kadir who was the Terengganu State Mufti states that it is allowed in Islam for Muslims to use methods and ways to find out the truth about the matters said to involve the Muslims ( the reported apostasies of young Malays ) as long as they do so based upon looking after the safety and sanctity of the Muslim ummah and the faith of Islam.
When asked about the two Malay journalists who had participated in the Christian prayer rituals and had even taken the wafer offered by the priests, Dato Sheikh Hj. Abdul Halim pointed out that as long as their intention was to investigate the truth of the matter regarding the said apostasy of their fellow Malays into Christianity, they had not themselves apostatized from Islam and that their taking of the wafer was not a problem provided it did not contain anything that was haram @ forbidden in Islam.
So to conclude the discussion I had today with Dato Sheikh Hj. Abdul Halim, those two Malay journalists had done no harm to their 'Aqeedah' in the course of their duty as investigative journalists and had done so as allowed by the principles of our Islamic faith.
I thanked Dato Sheikh Hj Abdul Halim for his views and am grateful for his clarity in opinion about this matter.
I had also spoken to the President of ABIM, Tuan Hj. Yusri Mohamad who is also a close friend of mine and asked him as to what he has to say about this matter?
Brother Yusri opinionates that as far as he is concerned, there is no need for us to go to such lengths in investigating such unfounded rumours and thinks that it's wrong to do so under grounds that such a precedent could lead to other instances and maybe spark off something else which we might all not wish to see take place in our nation.
I have also spoken to another close friend of mine, learned Lawyer Tuan Haji Zainul Rijal bin Abu Bakar, the former President of the Malaysian Syarie Lawyers Association who also does not agree with such an action by the two Al Islam Magazine's investigative journalists. He too does not support the undercover efforts of the journalists concerned.
I did my own research into the validity of the actions of the two Al Islam investigative journalists in this case and I find the following hadith relevant to their undercover operation in finding out whether there is some truth to the rumour of Malays here in Malaysia apostatizing from Islam?
In Sahih Bukhari & Muslim, the Book of Jihad, Page 592, Chapter 23, Hadith # 1233 :
Now, the Prophet Muhammad Sallalahu Alaihi Wassallam, being the brilliant genius Commander in Chief of the Mukmins had asked as to who will bring him information about the enemy?
The enemy of Islam and the Muslims were those who weren't Muslims. Same situation today.
The reports of Malays committing apostasy rumored and spread about through the media surely raises concern amongst the ones who are looking out for the welfare and well being of the Malaysian Muslim ummah.
Al Islam, being a magazine that publishes articles concerning Islam decided to take up the act of reconnoitering the said reports and had sent in their investigative journalists to find out the truth of the matter?
Yes, those two did masquerade as Christians and took part in the Christian rituals and partook the wafer given by the priest.
In their report, they said that they discovered no true Malay Muslims who had apostatized as rumored.
They said that they found out that the Christians were mostly Filipinos, Indonesians, Sabahans and Sarawakians who were born Christians. They had some confusions about the ethnicity of those Christians because being people from this region, naturally most of them look like Malays.
The journalists wrote that they found the congregation to be warm and friendly. Well mannered and pleasant. That's a compliment to the Christians.
Yes, they did come across publications in Malay containing the term 'Allah' and that the songs being sung in prayer had 'Allah' in the lyrics.
They conclude in their article that the usage of such a word as 'Allah' in the Christian publications and prayer rituals can lead to some confusion amongst the Malays who might mistake such publications to be connected with Islam and cause problems for those with weak Aqeedah or just learning about the true faith of Al Islam.
They stand by the Ministry of Internal Security and Home Affair's ruling not to allow the Christians usage of the word 'Allah' and all other references which are Islamic in nature in the Christian prayers and rituals here in Malaysia.
That said and done, I still believe that it's appropriate for the two journalists and the Al Islam Magazine editorial to apologize to the said Christian Church here that they meant no harm and were only carrying out their jobs as ordered.
To clear the matter once and for all and to put to rest the allegations that the Christians have had anything to do with such evangelism amongst the Malaysian Malay Muslim population.
I do know that there are cases where such evangelism did and do happen yet due to the utter sensitivity of the matter which can lead to further religious friction and unrest between Muslims and Disbelievers, I try my level best not to dwell on them unless the need arises.
I recall an incident lately concerning two Buddhist monks who were photographed praying together with Malay Muslims in a masjid in Kedah recently that was emailed to me by a Bukit Aman police officer asking me as to what I have to say about that?
I told him that if the two monks were still Buddhists and had not embraced the Islamic faith at the moment they were praying with the Muslims, then the ones who were their hosts that day in the masjid were answerable to Allah as to why they had allowed such a thing to take place?
If on the other hand, the two Buddhists monks had truly embraced Islam and were now Muslims, it is incumbent upon the ones who had initiated the conversion or reversion of those two servants of Allah into Al Islam to have given them an initiation rite into becoming Muslims by teaching them about the purification rituals in our faith and to have them take a bath and given them new clothes which do not have any relation to their 'former Buddhist beliefs'.
They should have been taught as to how to take the purification bath and other pleminaries into becoming and being Muslims worth our name and faith.
As I did not receive further details about that incident, I wouldn't speculate any further for fear of being slanderous against the monks concerned or those who had received them at the masjid and allowed them to join the Muslims in the congregational prayer!
I guess not many Christians know that even their Pope had joined the Turkish Muslims in prayer when he visited the country recently?
As Muslims, we are taught to exercise the best of behavior when receiving guests in our masjids and treat our visitors with the respect and decorum that they deserve. Especially those who come and visit our masjids with the pure intention of wanting to know us and Islam better.
I am all in support for such well meaning interactions between us and the yet to be Muslims.
Concluding this article touching upon the subject of the two investigative Al Islam Magazine journalists, I would like to call upon all concerned to take into consideration the sensitivity of all our fellow Malaysians when going about our affairs and to forgive and forget any such acts that could lead to or spark off anything that we will all regret.
I am publishing what Brother Joachim Francis Xavier had emailed to me following our telephone conversation over this matter here.
Please find attached the scanned copy of the articles and the police report. Any help to prevent this from reoccuring would be appreciated as we all have to work togehter to ensure that all communities live in total respect and care for each other.
We are deeply concerned that two Muslim men acting on false information that the Catholic Church was converting Muslims into Christians had recently entered a Catholic Church service for the purpose of gathering information as to whether this was occurring.?
They were also investigating whether the word 'Allah' was being used in church services.
These men participated in the church service and even took part in the rituals that are strictly for Catholics and in doing so violated the sanctity of what Catholics hold very sacred.
These men later wrote about their experience in an article entitled "Tinjaun Al Islam Dalam Gereja:Mencari Kesahihan Remaja Murtad" which was published in the May 2009 issue or the Al Islam magazine.
The men had consumed the 'communion' which is a white wafer which is blessed by the Priest in a Catholic ritual that dates back 2000 years.
Via this ritual the 'white wafer' is supernaturally transformed into what Catholics believe to be Jesus Christ and when consumed allows Catholics to experience life after death.
The 'communion' is held with great reverence and cannot in any way be mishandled or with a lack of respect.
Even Catholics are not allowed to take home the 'communion' but are instructed to consume it immediately during the service. Catholics go through an elaborate process of preparing themselves to receive this 'communion' worthily and those who have not done so are advised to refrain from receiving it.
As such we are outraged that these Muslim men consumed it only to spit it out later, have it photographed and have its image published in the Al-Islam magazine.
The total disrespect shown to what Catholics hold in closest to their hearts and believe to be most Holy strikes deep into our hearts and invokes much anger.
While we are resolved not to allow anger to guide our actions and instead pray that these ignorant will be forgiven by the Allah, we want to know what has become of this most holy 'communion' and demand its immediate return to the church authorities.
We are further outraged that these Muslim men have violated our sense of privacy to freely worship.
Would these men tolerate non-Muslims entering the mosque and violating the sanctity and holiness of their worship?
We believe that all places of worship and the form of worship practiced in these places must be respected with the greatest sensitivity and reverence be they the church, mosque, temple or gurdwaras.
Entering these premises with the intention to spy and worse to violate the sanctity of the worship only serves to incite anger and hatred that could lead to potentially dangerous consequences that would tear this country apart.
As such, as concerned Catholics, we have made a police report at the Patani Road Police station on 8th July 2009 and thereafter held a press conference at the same place.
We requested that the police investigate this matter with great urgency and bring to books those responsible for acting to incite hate and resentment among the Catholic Community.
We also call on the police to investigate both the Al-Islam magazine and the writers of the article.

I would like to highlight a case where tourists flying in to our country as guests of a fellow Malaysian have been unnecessarily hassled and inconvenienced by either overzealous JPJ officers or those who have some kind of 'arrangements' with the KLIA taxi operators in forcing limo passengers to take the airport taxis and by that maybe 'earn' some bakshish with the taxi drivers?
I reproduce here a letter from Mr.Glenn Pereira whose guests were victimized by those JPJ Enforcement officers and in doing so tarnished the reputation of this country.
I just spoke to Mr.Glenn Pereira asking for his authentication of this letter and getting his permission to republish this letter here so that others who are concerned about this travesty of justice and fair play get to spread the news so that no one else will have to suffer such gross injustice being perpetrated by wolves in sheepskin so to speak!
Mr.Glenn Pereira asks the following to our Tourism Minister:
Firstly, let me introduce myself. I am Glenn and I am a resident of our good country Malaysia.
Recently, I had some friends from Arab here in Malaysia where they have told me of some things which went totally wrong throughout their journey to their Hotel in Kuala Lumpur.
Is it the system or people, I need to know?
Their arrival was much anticipated by us here in Malaysia as we had such a good bonding with them for years.
When they got to KLIA, I had prior arrangements from a Tour Operator to pick them up from the airport since I wanted to give them a first class service in welcoming them after a long tiring journey they had to endure.
For your information, by me hiring a private limo is to give them my personal appreciation towards them but what had happened was when they were on the way back from KLIA to their pre-booked hotel (done by me), they were rudely stopped by JPJ officers and in amazement they were forced to get out from the Limo which was transporting them and the driver andmy friends were queried so many questions before they were taken back to the KLIA airport by the JPJ Jeepfor them to take your airport "Taxi" from there again.
This time around they even had to pay for their journey to their hotel. This ordeal had wasted a clean good 3 hours before they could get to see me and have a good rest and not forgetting the cash they had to pay when I have done earlier. I wasted my money in a nutshell.
My questions are this:
1) Why are we citizens of Malaysia forced to hire KLIA´s airport "Taxi´s" when I know with me hiring my own choice of transportation would be better and personalized in welcoming my friends here?
2) Aren´t these Tour Operators not licensed to ferry customers in and out of KLIA where most of them are friendly and professional with their work?
3) With my understanding and research I have done, your airport "Taxi´s" drivers and not friendly and most of them speak or not even able to converse in English at all. How are the foreigners able to communicate with them?
4) When a Tour Operator has a valid license, no authorities should stop them from performing their duties. They too have a living to sustain being drivers and with these JPJ and Police personnel´s getting into the picture, how will they able to put food on the table for their family?
5) Your "Taxi" drivers smell bad, car not kept clean and their shirts not tucked in/dirty and some of them even smoke in the car with the guest.
My friends and I are disgusted and saddened by the way your officers have handled this situation which I and my family had no other place to hide my face and dignity.
Speaking on bringing more tourists to Malaysia is a good thing.
Yes ! but I tell you this, by having so many restrictions and laws forbidding independent Operators fulfill their obligation in making Malaysia a Worldwide tourist centre, your aim will never be achievable with Quality Service. Service is important in today's World.
Many dubious questions arise when you have so many restrictions and laws and the most obvious will be "Who is Making The Extra Cash"?
Please look into this with utmost urgency and study because I know there are many Malaysians out there feel or even gone through this ridiculous ordeal.
I suggest, take a pool vote on what we Malaysians feel on any newspaper available online and with this and I bet you that you will received over whelming response on what is your next step of action and the Do´s and Dont´s making this country a World Class player.
I also understand that there are many touts who over-charge and some of them are frauds but doesn´t that responsibility belong to the Police and JPJ personnel´s to catch them and summon /reprimand if necessary?
If the JPJ and Police are to do this diligently, there would not have any touts in KLIA.
Do not penalize the genuine Operators and let the crooks go! Penalize the crooks and let the genuine Operators do their job responsibly.
I would like to have a written reply on this matter as I am so ashamed with what has happened to me and my family.
What is the UN doing? Where are the Muslim armies? What's the OIC doing?
What?
Sightseeing in Europe and the USA?
Figures!
For those who would like to know about the Uyghurs who were formerly citizens of East Turkestan destroyed by the Chinese Communists, watch this historical footage compiled video:
The genocide taking place upon the Uyghur people is state sponsored murder and the world needs to stop this and get the Chinese government to compensate the families of those killed! The atrocities against the Uyghurs must be stopped now!
Watch these Al Jazeera news reports :
Chinese authorities are controlling what is being shown on their official media channels and just showing the Han Chinese casualties.
The Chinese government massacred Falun Gong practitioners, bludgeoned Tibetan protesters and now its the turn of the Muslim Uyghurs to face the brunt of the crackdown!
As usual, you will face a deluge of denial coming from those with blood on their hands! The internet today however breaks through all the facade that these mass murderers are putting up!
Do not rely upon official propaganda media being churned out. There are various You Tubers out there who are uploading raw actual footage of what's going on there.
Anyone denying what we are seeing with our own eyes of all these actual footage's ought to do us truth seeking bloggers a real favor.
Go jump into the nearest sewer you can find and drown! He or she would really truly save us the trouble of having to uncloud their demented sorry excuse of a mind!
May Allah bless us all with the best of this life and the next, Insya Allah.
I would like to invite you to spend a few minutes listening to our fellow human beings who have now found their birthright to be Muslims after having searched for the Truth all their life's.
Here are some of these exemplary Muslims who have come forward to share with us what they have gone through in order to be fellow Believers in Allah, Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.

Spencer Wall, fourth-year English and sociology major, talks about her experience wearing a hijab on Wednesday night at Kerbey Lane Cafe. Wall, a Christian from West Texas, embarked on a personal experience in which she dressed as a Muslim woman for a year, starting in April.
I first noticed Spencer Wall in my religion and society class toward the end of last semester. She wasn’t particularly outspoken, but the shawl that covered her hair, neck and shoulders made her stand out in the large class.
I usually gave her nothing more than a completely unconscious glance. But when she revealed to the class the decision that she made on April 27, I suddenly became aware of the attention I gave her.
Wall, a 20-year-old sociology and English senior, decided to assume the characteristics and attire of a “typical” Muslim woman for a year starting in late April.
She wears the traditional veil, or “hijab,” and loose-fitting clothing everywhere she goes and does not consume pork or alcohol in public. She avoids eye and physical contact with men and has adopted modest habits like walking with her arms glued to her sides or crossed in front of her to hide her chest.
I witnessed the looks Wall gets on a daily basis when we met at Kerbey Lane on the Drag recently.
She’s wearing a hijab splashed with vibrant shades of green and blue. A long-sleeved, black shirt and floor-length aqua skirt reveals only a few inches of skin.
Some who pass us try to be inconspicuous with their intrigue, limiting themselves to quick side glances. But most don’t even try to be candid with their exaggerated double-takes or blatant stares.
She passes by a group waiting to be seated, and all of them stare at the back of her head as she walks away. One guy even rolls his eyes.
“It doesn’t surprise me,” she says when I tell her about the group. “But look around. They’re not the only ones.”
She insists her decision is not a social experiment but more of a personal learning experience. As a white female from a small, West Texas town, Wall says she wanted to know what it would be like to be part of a “noticeable minority.”
“I’m not representing Muslim women or the Muslim community,” she says. “I just want to know what it’s like to walk in their shoes for a while.”
Initially, Wall elaborates on her “learning experience” when people would ask her questions, the most common being “So, where are you from?” She has abandoned these efforts. Now, when people ask about her attire, she simply says she is not Muslim but wears the hijab because she chooses to do so.
This explanation is not entirely untrue, as Wall admits to not being able to leave her home without the clothing.
“I decided a while ago that I was going to try and not wear the hijab for 24 hours,” she says. “I couldn’t even make it for half that.”
Wall says she receives different reactions when she wears the hijab. A man once fell into a display at Wal-Mart because he was staring at her. One day a group of male patrons at the restaurant where she works refused to be served by her. The same group called her derogatory names. But most of the time she said she is just respectfully avoided.
“I wouldn’t say guys don’t hit on me, but they do so in a very different way now,” she says. “It’s more respectful, less forward.”
The experience has taught Wall to pay attention to smaller details that would make a traditional Muslim lifestyle difficult to follow in the United States.
One day at a clothing store, Wall had to ask for a sheet to cover a gap between the floor and dressing room door so she could hide her bare legs as she changed. Her job as a waitress presents one of the most awkward situations as it naturally entails a lot of physical contact with strangers, which is not allowed for Muslim women, she said.
Wall has grown to appreciate this sort of privacy and, in some ways, respect it. Perhaps the most unexpected outcome of the experience is a newfound devotion to her Christian faith. The Islamic faith requires followers to pray five times a day, the first prayer being at 5 a.m. Though Wall has not yet assumed this tradition, she admits she may in the future, and finds herself praying more often.
“You know we live in a society that is very unconscious of daily religious activities,” she said. “Throughout this experience, I have noticed myself becoming much more aware of God.”
Throughout our conversation, I find myself wanting to discuss the most obvious topic, but can’t bring it up without having to continually justify myself. Doesn’t she feel constricted and even oppressed by the practices she is assuming?
Wall’s candidness to discuss such issues validates my impression of her. She constantly reassures me to ask even the most probing questions and to present any debate, illustrating a maturity and intelligence uncommon for a 20-year-old.
“This experience has taught me to respect a woman’s decision to stay home with her children or wear a hijab or go out and become CEOs,” Wall said.
She finishes her sentence, as I notice a young woman staring at the back of Wall’s head.
Her eyes momentarily follow the outline of the brightly colored veil and then quickly move away. Instead of feeling sorry for Wall and assuming that the attention is warranted by feelings of resentment or fear, I soon wonder if the girl is instead intrigued by the hijab.
Wall admits to only showing her hair in the most intimate of settings, and I realize that I’m slightly jealous of someone who respects something I easily take for granted.
I have been a big fan of Brother Abdur Raheem Greene since way back when I first started getting involved in Da'wah with Brother Kamaruddin Abdullah and Haji Yassin of the IPCI Kapitan Keling Masjid in Penang!
He's going to be here in Kuala Lumpur to speak about Islam together with other dynamic Da'ee's !
The itenary is here. If you have any questions about Islam, well here's your chance to get the answers from the man himself!
Come well prepared for he will surely give you the answers to whatever it is that has been needling you in your heart and soul! Insya Allah! You will be enlightened!
We never know when we will get a chance to be with such a Da'ee as inspired as Brother Abdur Raheem Greene!
Alhamdulillah! Saya bersyukur kerana akhirnya berjaya memuatnaik video sebesar lebih 519 MB yang mengambil masa sepanjang malam untuk selesai prosesannya!
Maka dapatlah kita menonton rakaman perjalanan kami ke Lata Jarum, Ulu Dong, Mukim Raub, Pahang dan tempat tempat menarik yang sempat saya rakam untuk tontonan semua.
Walaupun ianya terletak jauh dikawasan pedalaman, namun kepuasan bermandi manda di sungai yang teramat sejuk mengalir deras ini memang amat berbaloi.
Sejuknya air sungai Lata Jarum ini menusuk terasa sampai ke tulang!
Keadaan alam semulajadi dan kehijauan flora dan fauna memikat hati. Saya sarankan semua pencinta alam supaya pergi lah melancung membawa seisi keluarga bersantai di Lata Jarum.
Masih belum tercemar terok dan ada kemudahan jalan bertar sampai ke sungai ini.
Semoga selamat pergi dan selamat kembali, Insya Allah.
Saya ingin menyajikan kepada tuan tuan dan puan puan satu artikel tulisan rakan blogger saya, Saudara Zolkharnain Abidin yang menulis di laman 'bila sauh dibongkar'.
Pandangan nya tentang masaalah kanak kanak selalu dihalau ke saf saf belakang menjurus kepada melemahkan semangat kanak kanak yang cenderung ke masjid belajar cara cara beramal ibadat menarik perhatian saya.
Saya setuju dengan rakan blogger saya ini dan berharap agar kita semua akan mengambil iktibar dari artikel beliau ini.
Insya Allah, jika hendak melentur buluh hendaklah dari peringkat rebungnya.
Semoga lebih ramai lagi bloggers Muslim tampil kemuka bersuara seperti Saudara kita Tuan Zolkharnain Abidin ini.
Bukan sekali saya berhadapan dengan situasi ini. Anak lelaki saya yang berusia 9 tahun yang bersembahyang di sebelah saya di saf pertama atau kedua akan diminta ke belakang. Sebenarnya saf paling belakang bersama kanak-kanak yang lain.
“Putus saf”, itulah kata mereka. Seringkali juga saya meminta anak lelaki saya kekal di tempatnya. Seusai solat, ekor mata orang yang tidak bersetuju dengan tindakan saya akan tajam merenung.
Saya faham dia tidak setuju tetapi dia tidak berani bersuara. Kalau dia bersuara, saya akan jelaskan duduk perkara yang sebenarnya.
Anak-anak memang wajar dibiasakan untuk ke masjid. Mereka perlu difahamkan bahawa masjid bukan untuk ‘orang pencen’. Tetapi masjid kita rata-ratanya tidak mesra kanak-kanak. Bacalah saja pelbagai amaran terhadap kanak-kanak di masjid. Peraturan untuk mereka di masjid kadang-kadang setanding peraturan untuk banduan di penjara.
Membawa anak-anak ke masjid menyamai ajaran nabi. Baginda membawa dua cucunda baginda, Hasan dan Husain ke masjid. Kadang-kadang baginda memanjangkan solat kerana Hasan dan Husain berada di atas belakangnya yang mulia itu.
Memang ada sumber sunnah yang menyebutkan bahawa di masjid nabi, saf kanak-kanak lelaki di belakang saf lelaki dewasa dan saf wanita di belakang saf kanak-kanak lelaki.
Nabi juga mengajarkan supaya orang yang di belakang baginda di dalam solat ialah lelaki yang baligh dan cerdik supaya baginda dapat diingatkan sekiranya terlupa atau digantikan sekiranya perlu.
Namun itu tidak bermakna kanak-kanak boleh dinafikan daripada berada di celah-celah orang dewasa di saf yang hadapan. Lebih-lebih lagi sekiranya mereka datang lebih awal ke masjid.
Masjid adalah rumah Allah, sesiapa sahaja berhak mengunjunginya. Sesiapa yang mengunjunginya dikira tetamu Allah. Layanan Allah kepada hambanya yang mengunjunginya adalah sama rata. Sesiapa yang datang awal dialah yang berhak berada di hadapan walau pun dia adalah kanak-kanak.
Bahkan nabi melarang kita menyuruh orang lain mundur dan kita mengambil tempatnya. Sama halnya, dengan menyuruh kanak-kanak mundur ke belakang dan kita mengambil tempatnya. Itu juga boleh menjadikannya membenci masjid dan orang yang datang ke masjid.
Arahan nabi supaya orang lelaki dewasa berada di belakang baginda dalam saf solat bukan untuk meminggirkan kanak-kanak tetapi untuk menggalakkan orang dewasa supaya datang awal ke masjid dan mengambil saf hadapan.
Nabi tidak pernah meminggirkan kanak-kanak. Baginda bersolat di rumah Abi Talhah dengan Anas dan seorang anak yatim lain di belakang baginda. Ummu Sulaim pula di belakang kedua-dua anak-anak itu. Baginda juga bersolat dengan Ibnu Abbas yang masih anak-anak dan berdiri di sebelah kanannya.
Justeru, kalau nabi tidak meminggirkan kanak-kanak, mengapa orang dewasa hari ini yang ke masjid meminggirkan kanak-kanak? Kanak-kanak diletakkan di belakang sekali, berhampiran pintu keluar. Mereka berada sesama mereka. Bising.
Oh ya, kanak-kanak itu belum berkhatan. Jangan salahkan mereka atau pinggirkan mereka kerana belum berkhatan, tetapi ajarilah mereka cara bersuci dengan betul sekiranya belum berkhatan. Apa masalahnya kalau tidak berkhatan?
Tidak boleh menyentuh mereka dalam solat, batal. Adakah bersentuh dengan anak-anak yang belum berkhatan ketika solat membatalkan solat? Jawabnya, tidak kerana anak-anak itu bukan najis. Menyentuh kanak-kanak belum berkhatan bukan menyentuh najis.
Kita susah hati dengan kanak-kanak bising pada hari Jumaat ketika solat. Bukan salah mereka tetapi salah kita yang sudah tua ini. Kita rasa kita lebih pandai dari kanak-kanak pada hal kita sebenarnya bongkak dengan ketuaan kita.
Apa salahnya, kita masukkan mereka di celah-celah kita saf orang dewasa. Berkhatan atau tidak berkhatan, jangan ditanya lagi. Tidak batal solat bersentuh dengan anak-anak yang belum berkhatan dalam solat. Berapa kali mahu diulang? Tak percaya juga, cari kitab fiqh dan baca. Kalau tak tahu baca itu salah kita. Mengapa kesalahan kita dibebankan ke atas bahu anak-anak?
Apabila mereka berada bersama kita, di celah-celah kita orang dewasa, sekurang-kurangnya mereka akan lebih berdisiplin dan mungkin tidak akan bising lagi pada hari Jumaat.
Kepada orang Pas, kita tidak perlu tunggu Umno kalah pilihanraya untuk lakukan ini. Kepada orang Umno anda juga tak perlu tunggu kerajaan perpaduan untuk amalkan ini semua. Untuk DAP, MCA dan MIC, sorry anda semua tidak termasuk dalam topik ini.
Sayang, kalau orang politik kita tidak mampu melakukan perubahan sekecil ini.
Perlis ni kalau bab agama pelik sikit. maklumlah banyak yang ikut aliran dari arab saudi tu. itu sesat, ini sesat. itu bid'ah, ini bid'ah. aduhai perlis...
saya setuju dengan pendapat ustaz, kalau kanak-kanak diletak belakang mereka akan cari geng depa lepas tu kita marah sebab bising, kenapa ayah yang bawa tak suruh duduk sekali, dulu memang saya pun fikir kanak-kanak belum berkhatan kalau disentuh batal solat tapi lepas mengaji bab membatalkan solat tak de pun sentuh kakank-kanak batal kecuali kalau ada najis tu yang patut kanak-kanak perlu dikhatan seawal 9 tahun. kalau solat sesama depa sampai bila nak betul, kalau sebelah kita boleh lah tengok kut salah kita tegur.. sya setuju agar ustaz menyarankan agar kanak-kanak tidak diletak di belakang sekali...
What about sunrise? What about rain? What about all the things, That you said we were to gain? What about killing fields? Is there a time? What about all the things, That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice, All the blood we've shed before? Did you ever stop to notice, The crying Earth the weeping shores?
What have we done to the world? Look what we've done. What about all the peace, That you pledge your only son? What about flowering fields? Is there a time? What about all the dreams, That you said was yours and mine?
Did you ever stop to notice, All the children dead from war? Did you ever stop to notice, The crying Earth the weeping shores?
Hey-yea! What about yesterday? What about the seas? The heavens are falling down. I can't even breathe! What about apathy? I can feel its wounds. What about nature's worth? It's our planet's womb!
What about animals? We've turned kingdoms to dust, What about elephants? Have we lost their trust? What about crying whales? Ravaging the seas. What about forest trails? Burnt despite our pleas!
What about the holy land? Torn apart by creed. What about the common man? Can't we set him free? What about children dying? Can't you hear them cry? Where did we go wrong? Someone tell me why!
What about baby boy? What about the days? What about all their joy? What about the man? What about the crying man? What about Abraham? What about death again? Do we give a damn?!

I don't know about you but every time I watch this hit music video from the late Michael Jackson, my tears flow as I grieve and sense the harsh reality of what his song laments about?
The disasters that Man has brought to this once beautiful Earth! How pleasing to the eye the forests were? Sadly, one by one, the forests are being destroyed by Man in his endless quest to urbanize the wild. Wild but abundant with what we really need?
Precious life saving sources of potable water, herbs and medicinal plants, all forms of food and resources that if preserved and maintained will be an endless source for all our needs.
Such a sight is slowly becoming rare as Mankind races with each other to make it bare!
Every time I drive past the hills devoid of trees and vegetation along my nation's highways, my heart cries with sorrow, thinking of how many different species of flora and fauna that once thrived in those tropical jungles are now no more?
I weep in my heart for I know that as a simple layman devoid of power and influence, I can do nothing much to save the forests and hills of my country.
The politicians greedily rampage through the timber rich forest reserves as they please in the name of development but destroy the precious nature that gives us our sustenance.
The rivers are polluted beyond help. The streams dry up choking the life of the animals which depend on them to continue living. The birds, bees, insects, and all forms of life die away as Man ruthlessly brutalizes the green Earth and turn them into desolate dry earth out of their greed.
In some places, rivers have been so heavily polluted that they are now open stinking sewers.
Look at the photo above showing kids swimming in such filthy waters!
Click on the photo to view it larger in full detail!
You will then see the reality of what happens to rubbish thrown indiscriminately into the drains that lead out to the rivers?
Malaysians nowadays don't give a damn about littering! Only a very few care about the environment. Those who have seen drivers chuck out their cigarette butts and other litter out of their car windows on the highway know what I am talking about?
Earth Song by MJ ought to awaken those who are so irresponsibly destroying our precious environment.
This is the ultimate end for each of us Muslims when our time has come to return to the presence of our Creator, Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
'Qala inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi ra'ji'un' @ 'Say ' From Allah we came ; to Allah we return'.
No matter whether one is a Sultan, Prince, Prime Minister, Chief Minister, Tycoon, Big Shot or whatever, there will come a time when their heart will finally stop beating. No more breath. Everything shuts down. We cease to exist as a living breathing being.
We will no more be referred to with our names. Those who come across our lifeless body will immediately call the Police!
'Hello ! Police? There's a dead body here! No...I haven't checked the body but it seems like there's no more breathing. The eyes are dilated and the chest is still, the color's gone from the face...yeah...Please come quickly!'
The location of the corpse will be given and very soon a patrol car followed by a Land Rover will come to collect the dead body and bring it to the morgue for an autopsy to be carried out on the corpse to find out the cause of death.
That's the usual scenario, right? So, what happens when a person is about to die?
Times and times again, the spectacle of death comes to rock us awake.
A loved one. Someone whom we thought to be extraordinary and a shining success suddenly is no more.
The news comes to us like a ton of bricks falling down upon us, crushing us internally.
We refuse to accept that someone whom we admired, loved and cherished for so long is no longer alive.
Yet the reality is such that no matter how much we love this life ; there will come a day when we will be no more.
Let's prepare for the next life by repentance and submission to Allah, Lord of all creation.
Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Apabila diserukan azan (bang) untuk mengerjakan sembahyang pada hari Jumaat, maka segeralah kamu pergi (ke masjid) untuk mengingati Allah (dengan mengerjakan sembahyang jumaat) dan tinggalkanlah berjual-beli (pada saat itu); yang demikian adalah baik bagi kamu, jika kamu mengetahui (hakikat yang sebenarnya),
[10]Kemudian setelah selesai sembahyang, maka bertebaranlah kamu di muka bumi (untuk menjalankan urusan masing-masing), dan carilah apa yang kamu hajati dari limpah kurnia Allah, serta ingatlah akan Allah banyak-banyak (dalam segala keadaan), supaya kamu berjaya (di dunia dan di akhirat).
[11] Dan apabila mereka mengetahui kedatangan barang-barang dagangan (yang baharu tiba) atau (mendengar) sesuatu hiburan, mereka bersurai (lalu pergi) kepadanya dengan meninggalkan engkau berdiri (di atas mimbar - berkhutbah). Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad:" Pahala - balasan) yang ada di sisi Allah, lebih baik dari hiburan dan barang-barang dagangan itu; dan Allah sebaik-baik pemberi rezeki.
Sadaqallah hal adzhim.
Demikianlah peringatan dari Allah Rabbul Jalil kepada kita umat Islam tentang perlunya kita bergegas ke masjid dan menghayati seruan mimbar di hari Jumaat nan mulia ini.
Namun sekarang, mimbar dicengkam oleh sang pemerintah dan khutbah cuma dibacakan oleh khatib yang ditekan dengan seribu satu kekangan.
Tidak boleh menegur pemerintah. Hanya baca apa yang disediakan didalam bentuk teks yang disaring dan di tapis memuja dan memuji `ulul amri sehingga jamaah menjadi lesu dan mengantuk mendengar propaganda semasa.
Ramai yang hadir membawa jasad mereka secara nyata manakala fikiran kebanyakan mereka melayang layang entah kemana?
Bicara politik sesetengah jamaah mengadu domba sewaktu khatib membaca khutbah.
Congratulations to Ustaz Nasarudin Hassan Tantawi, the PAS Youth Chief for being gentleman enough to invite UMNO Youth to an intellectual discourse between them in the near future.
He has the leadership quality in him that many young political leaders nowadays lack and I believe that he means well by this overture to UMNO Youth to at least start discussing about matters that are of concern to the nation.
Read Ustaz Nasarudin bin Hassan At Tantawi's blog here to learn more about him.
At least, he's got more spine to meet up and face those from the other side unlike others who choose to hurl abuses and curse incessantly their political foes without being proactive and looking for the answer to solve the nation's problems as true professionals and as the future leaders of Malaysia.
He has it in him to be a trendsetter in breaking the taboos and demolishing the archaic fossilised mindsets of the recalcitrant ones in the nation.
Both UMNO and PAS Youth might be able to learn from each other as to how best to solve the decades old stalemate between them and abolish whatever obstacles and hurdles that need to be removed for the betterment of the ummah and the general Malaysian public.
I wish Ustaz Nasarudin Hassan At Tantawi all the best in his efforts. Same wish goes to the UMNO Youth leaders.
Discussing towards coming to a clear cut understanding as to where each party stands as far as upholding the true tenets of the Islamic faith here in Malaysia.
For far too long, unnecessary enmity between the nation's two largest Muslim political parties has been dragging on and needs to be settled once and for all.
May Allah strengthen, guide and bless all those who will be taking part in this discussion.
The whole world is awaiting news of when the remains of the late King of Pop, Mikaeel @ Michael Jackson is going to be officially buried?
Pending the clearance by the authorities, it is reported that MJ's remains is being kept in a private funeral home and that preparations are being made for a spectacular send off for the world's topmost pop superstar from his Neverland ranch for a public funeral.
This is said to be the horse drawn white hearse which will be used to transport the remains of the late MJ to his final resting place.
Insya Allah, it will be a fitting burial for the late pop icon.
Meanwhile, those of you who are curious to know what MJ has left for his children can read his final will and testament drawn in 2002.
These are the documents of Mikaeel @ Michael Jackson's Last Will.
