Ooo pengganas kerr...?

hurm sebenarnyer aku tengah mengantuk sangat la sekarang, padahal baru kul 3.40 ptg. So lompat2 blog org jap..nak gak tau aper ke mende yg jadik brite hangat skang..hurm mcm2 la..ade setengah org tulih pasal aper mende dier buat hari-hari..which would be really interesting to read if dia tu celebrity ke aper kan..ade gak yang tulis pasal isu2 semasa..sebab tu aku suka bace blog pakdi. sentiasa peka dengan perkembangan semasa. mesti banyak gile membace. aku laks jenis yang xsuka bace paper. tau memang penting. kena la tau aper jadik kat dunia luar sekarang kan. tapi besa la kalo nak bace pon buku2 crite ker aper..yang tak peningkan kepala la kirenyer..sebab asyik2 politik la masalah sosial la kt paper tu..jadik pening dibuatnyer. tapi kena gak tau kalau tak cam katak bawah tempurung arr tak tau aper mende berlaku. neway seteruk-teruk aku pon takde la sampai taktau langsung apa jadik sekarang. yang kat London tu.. hurm kalau ade orang yang taktau atau saja-saja tak amik tau tu memang keturunan orang asli yang duduk jauh dalam hutan kut, di luar coverage la kut. especially sebab orang kaitkan dengan kite kan..amboi skett2 kait ngan Islam, skett2 Islam. Islamic terrorist, Islamic barbarians whatever..how about Christian terrorists that kill millions of children, women and innocent people mase serang Iraq tu.
takde la nak kate aper yang the what-so-called terrorists did was right. IF they are the ones who did it..and neway what rights that bloody blair has to straightaway name a particular party or an organization even when it has not yet been proven. anything would be possible..why relates any bombing to Islam, the religion instead of the people..? what do you call the terrorists who are christian, hindus or buddhist?? you don't refer them by their religion, do you?? tu la kan..memang nampak sangat ketidakadilan kat dunia ni..semua nak menuding jari kat Islam, agama yang mementingkan keamanan, tak suka keganasan. tetibe jer nak salahkan Islam and the muslims as a whole..sebenarnyer mereka ni yang paranoid sendiri tak tentu pasal..ye la kalau dah buat kezaliman kat orang2 Islam, cam kat Iraq tu mestilah paranoid takut kena balik. kalau tak takkan la ye ye jer nak tuduh camtu jer..
hurm entah. aku sebangai seorang individu muslim. memang la sangat bimbang. apatah lagi aku kat Australia yang pro britain and US ni. mase aku mula-mula sampai sini pernah gak arr kena harrass, by being called names and yelled at something like.."poor f***ing b*t*h"..very nasty tapi itulah orang2 yang sangat racist dan tak ade kepala otak. sebab orang lain yang buat nak lepaskan geram at orang lain. amboi..kalau nak ikutkan tu baru jer sket bangsa die yang mamfus sebab kena bomb. yang umat Islam kat Iraq, Palestin, Bosnia berjuta2 kena bunuh tu kite xder laks layan dier mcm tu kalau dia datang Malaysia ker.. siap bagi layanan first class lagi . tu la orang kita. memuja-muja sangat bangsa kulit putih ni..erm xnak ckp banyak pasal dieorg ni pon. walaupon ader rupe yang ensem jelita, tapi dalam kosong tak bermakna. tak berselera tengok. perangai pon sejenis jer, memang dah boleh agak. tapi takde la semua.alhamdulillah ramai jer yang convert into Islam atas hidayah yang Allah bagi. tapi yer la apa pon yang berlaku adalah takdir Allah semua. kena terima tapi takde la bermakna nak duduk dia jer, Buat takat yang termampu.
kembali kepada aku pulak. cam tau sangat jer pasal benda politik dan politikus dunia ni. tapi terpaksa jugak tau perkembangan sebab in the end akan affect kite gak. walaupon cam aku nak amik tau pasal politik ni, takde la aku nak pening kepala pikir banyak ngalahkan PM laks. takat peka jer la and beware slalu.. especially kat sini. alhamdulillah takat ni takde aper2 yang tak diingini. mintak2 dijauhkan ALlah, nauzubillah. Aku takat mampu doa dan tawakkal jer sebab sebagai manusia biasa apa la daya. mak aku kata walau kat mana2 pon jangan la kite takut jadik seorang muslim sebab kat mana pon kaki kita pijak semuanye adalah bumi ALlah. lantak la Bush ke Blair ker dajal ker cmne power sekalipon, depa pon pijak bumi hak Allah. kalau Allah nak bumi telan depa pon dah lama dah.. tapi tu lah orang2 camni Allah nk spare dier so suatu hari nanti dia akan dapat balasan yang dasyat. apa-apa pon sekarang, aku nak study jer dengan giler2..takde arr sampai gila InsyaAllah. nak pulun lelebih..nak buktikan I can do it. yes. semoga Allah bagi hidayah kat aku dan permudahkan aku dalam segala benda yang aku buat. ameen..

Duties of Brotherhood in Islam

I was in Adelaide masjid for the usual Friday usrah last week. Most of the time I was a bit quiet. Had lot of things on my mind wif exams just over and now worrying bout the result and so on. Didn't feel like talking much. Hurm twas quite awkward but I just got over it. The first session with the brothers was about Seerah of the Prophet Muhammad. Most of the time I didn't really concentrate on what it was all about this time. Too bad I couldn't really focus on it and it was entirely my fault for coming late. But at least I learnt a few things during the second session with the sisters. Jana talked about the book Duties of Brotherhood in Islam written by Imam AL-Ghazali. Erm it also applies to the women of coz! Basically it was about the duties you have towards your brothers or sisters in Islam or in another word friends maybe. Those duties are
1. material assistance
2. personal aid
3. holding one's tongue
4. speaking out
5. forgiveness
6. prayer
7. loyalty and sincerity
8. informality

But of coz we didn't have that much time to talk about the whole duties tho. So we chose the duty holding one's tongue. That really intrigued me. Personally I think this is one of the hardest or maybe the hardest part of it. It may sound simple enough but no. Talking is so so easy that sometimes we say things without even thinking what it might do to anyone or ourself. Especially talking behind someone's back. 'Gurls' thing' they say. You can't put more than one girl together long enough to without having them start gossiping about something..someone. Gosh I find it hard myself. I simply can't keep my mouth shut man. I might as well not talk at all. What do you think the gurls mostly do spending hours together?? Or else they wouldn't have spent time together..don't tell me they spend time doing activities which does not involve talking and talking bla bla bla. How beautiful Islam is to set out that it is in fact our duty to hold our tongue or keep our mouth shut from blurting out bad things about other people rather than treating it as a courtesy or a moral thing that one should do.

Ibn al_Mubarak said:

"The believer tries to find excuses for others, while the hypocrite looks out for mistakes"

That's just one of the examples actually. You should in many circumstances hold your tongue. For instance:
- When your friend confided something in you regardless of whether she said it's a secret or not, you should KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. Which I find so hard to do at times coz like i said words just slip your tongue without you even thinknig or realizing that you were revelaing something about someone to another person which might be the wrong person to be told. And imagine what that would do to the person that had confided in you. And when she finds out what you did, even if i were that person I won't ever trust myself. Then again, why would I or even anyone else still wanna do it? There are sayings ;

"The breasts of free men are the tombs of secrets"

Maybe when you're sort of a gossiping person, your life will never be peaceful coz people will bug you all the time to get new stories out of you. And they themselves wouldn't wanna trust you to tell you anything about them.

"The fool's heart is in his mouth, but the intelligent man's tongue is in his heart"

Although sometimes I feel worried of being a quiet person, when I think of this, it's actually an advantage coz the more you talk, the more bad things might come out and what would that reflect of you to people? Although people might wanna listen to your gossip or bad things about other people, you've in fact shown how you can also talk behind their back. They would get a clear picture of how bad a person you are and u can hardly find a true friend. Hardly!

- When your friend is in distress or something, she might treat you badly. Or ignoring you whatever. I've had that recently. Isn't annoying when you really think of it? Coz what the heck. Why would she wanna put the blame on you for her own emotional state or problems whatever?And you might sometime feel how unfair it is, don't you? If I didn't think much I would have given her the same treatment. Yep I did that. Stupid isn't it. But I couldn't control myself and maybe coz I was only thinking for myself. As if I was never in her situation. Did I even ask her what was going on or something? Nope, I did not. Then why would I make things worse by doing that, giving her a cold shoulder just becoz she ignored you when you didn't even consider what was on her mind?? Exactly. Why ekk??Hurm no idea. I personally think that's a normal reaction people have. And how hard it is to hold you tongue and stop yourself from giving her a piece of your bloody mind. Things were bad enough but I only made it worse by adding the salt to the wound. I read somewhere from one of the motivation books sometime ago. When you're having a problem in a realationship with someone, be it friends whatever, think of the good things you had together, the time spent, how much that person had been a good friend to you in the past, then consider whether it would be worth it to just spoil the good things you had together out of a silly dilly little bad things that he/she did to you. Sounds simple enough, isn't it. IF we make it simple. Well about the gurl, well after a few days, things got back to normal. She was the one who actually started to talk to me. It was actually nothing. SILLY of me. Now I'm a loser, coz I was not strong enough to be the one to do it. I made it a big deal out of a small thing and didn't want to get over it. Now who's the one who got problem??? ;p <---- - Erm what else. Well, I actually hardly do this, don't like it anyway, but some people really love to probe into other people's affair. Even it's your best friend. Never think that being a best friend you have the right to know everything about her. She also got a right to have secrets. The Prophet once said:
"Do not spy and do not pry. Do not severe relationships and do not fall out, but serve God as brothers"


That's about it, more or less from what I got in the usrah. It made me look back to myself, assessing what better traits I have more than others than I can actually judge them based on the little dittle unpleasant behavior they have. It is like a piece of white paper laid down in front of you. If you take a pen and put a little dot in somewhere on the paper, you won't even notice the whole white spaces but the dot. That's very human in fact, so easy for us to see other people's faults or weaknesses no matter how insignificant they are without remembering that they have something good. And how about yourself??
