Bismillahirrahmaanirrahim..

a peaceful afternoon Wednesday. just lying on the floor in the middle room surfing the net for a while and decided to upload a video.

this video is rather well known,or rather the scripts and the song itself..

it gives so many feelings to a person when he really go with the song, or better called nasyid.

it invites us to realize ourselves. in times when we are far away from Him.

theres not much to write about it.

well let me just write something while waiting for the video to finish uploading.

this video is a manifestation of a servant's obedience to Almighty God, Allah swt..
a man will never be at peace until he comes to a realization that he belongs to Allah and in any way have to subject himself to the will of Allah, be it willingly or unwillingly.

one of the first few lyrics is 'ilaahi lastu lilfirdausi ahlan' which literally means oh my God not have i the privilege of your Firdaus ( the paradise) as someone who can be in it, which shows a situation where he feels that he cant enter the paradise.

what makes that happen?

undoubtedly due to sins, wrongdoings, blameworthy deeds and so on. such notions or even thoughts that are acted upon consciously and subconsciously affect the mind, body and soul. hence the first verse is written.

may we take heed..

May Allah guide us to His path and help us to live through this life.

(it didnt load. i'll try again soon or can just view it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_vMCfhKr54. its exactly the same.)

good evening

assalamualaikum.
im writing this entry at 0004 am(of course its in the morning).
lets spill out some truth here so that the world knows a few things, not that it really matter.
its just a way to let out what is kept in the heart for quite some while.

i was dismissed from my university for scoring below the allowed grade three times consecutively.
i appealed for a fresh admission to the same university because i loved the place.
i was readmitted in IRK and have now started taking my introductory course.
i will start taking my core courses beginning next semester.

well, 4 lines.. didnt expect it to be so long right..
i dont like to write too long.

there are many friends wondering what really happened..how could you, Ismat have gotten into this situation?
well, its best only for me to know i believe.. actually, there are very few people that knows about this and these people i trust them.. not that i dont trust others, its just you dont go telling off your secrets right man?..

so many things happened in the last 6 7 months.. my life have been turned quite upside down.. there are some good things or news, and there are the not so good news or happenings that took place in my life..

im taking my short semester now.
in Gombak.
i like to make friends, but sometimes you end up somewhere that you hate. you do gain some valuable experience, but there are misfortunes and consequences that comes along with it.

nothing comes and goes unnoticed. as much as you want to hide it, it will eventually pop out, sooner or later. it happened to me.. people noticed.. at least someone said that he noticed. i was shocked for a while and to think about it, it does show.

anyhow, life has to go on.. people have to move on, eventhough its hard..and difficult. Aint it not my fellow friends?

life makes you more mature and more understanding, about the people around you, your parents, your family, your friends and others.

it all comes back to ourselves. whether you want it or not. whether u want to stop it or still want to continue..

life is full of challenges, and opportunities too..
you see it, grab it. dont let is pass you because you never know if it ever comes again.
there might be instances in life that u miss, well, make up to it.
never let the next opportunity on your door goes away like a feather.

have a nice day people.
your doa i hope.

a day off

assalamualaikum everybody. i hope everyone is feeling good today..
the weather is good here in shah alam.
the grass..still green..
the sun..still giving out its unlimited rays of light and heat...
man..having shelters to keep them away from the burning sun..from rains...a place of comfort..
can anybody find a better place than home?
there is one..but not seen..

today is my day off from work. i slept late last night and woke up late in the morning.
just bought a new broadband where you can just plug it in and surf the net.

this morning, as usual i have to send my two brothers to school in Seksyen 13 Shah Alam.. today was a bit better than yesterday and days before that..they woke up earlier today so i don't have to rush in driving them to school. the road will become congested right around 720 am so if i go out later than that gives me another job of waiting in the traffic.

i started working at this book store on monday 2/3/2009 which was on monday. the working hours is from 9 am till 615 pm in the evening, that is if you are working morning shift. if you are doing afternoon shift, you'll be working from 1230 pm to 10 pm..9 hours..such long hours..is it?

in working life one will meet many types of people, no doubt about that.. and i guess im just starting to feel that. people with different attitudes..some work well with each other, some stab others at the back, many are good honest and hardworking people, a few are quite emotional when problems pass by, and many others..

i treat such as many sides of a human..insan..not perfect..one that forgets..same goes to me..
but not to give in to such notion as it might cloud you to make an excuse out of it..
man should strive..for his life in here and..hereafter..
not only for himself..but others that go the same way down into the dirt..

throughout the lives of mankind, man always find ways to answer the questions that life pose to one..

waking up in the morning

waking up in the morning is surely the best thing to do.
its morning and the sun is just about to rise..the air.. so fresh and clean, especially when you have big trees around your house or around your neighbourhood...
just imagine.. feeling the cold water running gently at the tip of your foot when you are just about to get your shower..shivers..

but there's a much sweeter experience than waking up at that time in the morning..that is, you wake an hour or two before morning..yes..what do you say about that..

its so much peaceful..give it a try..whats more peaceful than that is you take a bath and perform the tahajjud...so tranquilizing.....one will feel peace within one's soul..and that is the most important thing in life..

to have peace inside and outside..to know and feel the presence of Allah deep inside your heart..
that is actually what life is all about..serving Him none other...

people seek that what is called inner peace..and none can give it except by His will..and we should ask and pray for it...

as a muslim, and in my personal view, this peace is something that every single person on this earth is searching for..money can't buy it..

demam peperiksaan kembali tiba

assalamualaikum kepada teman-teman yang dikasihi..

sepertimana biasa blog ini umpama sarang labah-labah yang sarat dengan binatang mati.
tetapi sudah tiba masanya ( mungkin kali ini buat masa ini) untuk membersihkannya.

semua sedia maklum musim peperiksaan sudah pun tiba. dan semua orang kelihatan begitu sibuk menguruskan hal masing-masing, dengan mengulangkaji pelajaran, membuat nota-nota ringkas buat dihafal dan juga melakukan banyak latihan. ini semua adalah persediaan kita untuk menghadapinya. dan adalah lumrah setiap perkara yang ingin dihadapi itu amat perlu kepada persediaan. peperiksaan, kelas biasa, kuiz, asainment, dan sebagainya.

tanpa melakukan persediaan, kita membuka pintu untuk berlakunya kesilapan dalam kehidupan kita. bila asianment tidak disiapkan, bila kuiz tiada ulangkaji sebelum mendudukinya, dan dengan kelas apabila tidak menghadirkan diri. ini semua merupakan langkah-langkah berjaya bagi seorang manusia untuk gagal.

a broken family

someone will always find ways, when he is enlightened, to improve himself and to become a better person. and he will do the same thing for his family, his friends, and the people around, and also the whole world, when he is enlightened.
he see's that the world is not in its best condition. he will find ways to solve the problems the world is facing, his family is facing, his society is facing, he is facing.
he realised that to find a solution to all the problems of the world is not a one man job like a superman. that it must be done not individually but collectively, he thus seeks companions. for a big job it is not an individual job. it demands all the people there is available. just like building the skyscrapers of the world, you will not find one guy directing it and building it at the same time. it needs people and it needs a team and it needs one mindset.
then, this someone again realised that in devicing ways to solve problems, he needs people to help him to work together, to advice each other so that one does not slip off the track. and he must have something as a guide in achieving this very big goal.

bermulanya semester pendek 07/08

Tanggal 28 April 2008 adalah tarikh bermulanya sesi semester pendek UIA.
Tidak semua yang akan melaluinya, hanya sebahagian yang ingin mengisi masa lapang mereka dengan belajar.
Ada juga yang ingin bekerja, mencari wang saku, atau pun menolong ibu ayah di kampung halaman dengan perniagaan dan sebagainya.

Kita lihat bahawa manusia itu, setiap satunya berlainan.

Setiap manusia punya tujuan masing-masing untuk dicapai atau dilaksanakan dalam hidup ini.

Tidak dinafikan.

Tujuan adalah penggerak bagi manusia untuk terus hidup.
Tanpa tujuan manusia tidak ada perkara untuk dilakukan.
Maka, hidup itu sendiri adalah tujuan.

Bagaimana?

Nah, kita sedar bahawa manusia akan terus menduduki bumi ini sampai suatu masa.
Dan manusia yang duduk di atas muka bumi ini akan sentiasa berubah, bertambah maju, bertambah sofistikated, lebih berperadaban, juga bertambah skeptik. Secara amnya, perubahan berlaku dan tiada siapa yang dapat menghentikannya kecuali kematian.

Maka, apakah tujuan yang ingin dicapai oleh manusia?

Jika semuanya berubah, tujuan juga berubah.
Apa yang dapat dilihat adalah proses ini berterusan sampai bila-bila.
Manusia tidak dapat melihat, atas segala perubahan ini, apa yang ingin dicapai.

Apabila manusia dapat menggapai tujuannya, kemudian apa?

Manusia akan mula pula berfikir akan sesuatu yang mana ada pada semua manusia, yang mana manusia perlukan agar mereka merasa tenteram, agar manusia tidak sentiasa hidup 'bertujuan' dengan tujuan masing-masing tanpa henti.

Islam adalah tujuan sebenar manusia.

Bukankah begitu?

Adakah kita begitu?
