Ramadhan Kareem!

Apapun yang terjadi pada alam ini
Dari yang paling kecil sampai yang paling besar
Insya Allah ada hikmahnya
Sesuai dengan firmanNya
" Ya Tuhan kami tidak ada yang Kau ciptakan dengan sia-sia "

Dari kuman yang tidak kelihatan oleh manusia
Sampai milyaran galaxy yang maha luas
Semua mempunyai fungsi masing-masing

Begitu pula dengan peristiwa manusia
Dari penderitaan yang amat memilukan
Sampai kesenangan yang melenakan
Semua ada hikmahnya

Terkadang manusia lupa bila diuji dengan penderitaan
Hingga ingkar pada Allah karena penderitaan yang dideritanya
Padahal di balik penderitaan ada hikmahnya juga
Berupa jiwa yang semakin kuat, tabah, dan tak tergoyahkan

Maka jangan lekas membuang yang pahit
Siapa tahu itu adalah ubat bagimu
Jangan lekas mengatakan Allah tidak adil!
Siapa tahu Allah di lain waktu memberikan nikmatNya

Jangan lekas mengeluh bila tak mendapatkan sesuatu yang diinginkan
Siapa tahu Allah akan memberikan sebagai pengganti yang terbaik
Dan jangan lekas memisahkan sesuatu yang kamu benci dan kau anggap hina
Siapa tahu apa yang kamu benci dan kamu anggap hina
Justru dicintai Allah!
Dan jangan segera meminum yang manis
Siapa tahu itu adalah racun bagimu.

Siapa yang menyangka
Jika sampah yang dibuang-buang manusia
Justeru bisa dijadikan kompos dan energi elektrik

Siapa yang menduga
Rambut jagung yang dibuang
Saat makan jagung rebus atau jagung bakar
Di Russia bisa dijadikan jamu, ubat untuk kesehatan.

Siapa yang mengira
Gerak rumput atau lalang yang bergoyang
Adalah prototaip gerakan pesawat terbang

Siapa menyangka
Nyamuk yang kecil itu
Membuat kaya raya para pengusaha obat anti nyamuk

Siapa yang protes terhadap keringat
Mungkin lupa
Keringat yang dianggap menganggu
Telah melahirkan ribuan jenis minyak wangi sejak berabad-abad
Dan telah melahirkan ribuan perusahaan dengan berbagai model
Membuka lapangan kerja dan melahirkan foto model iklan

Siapa yang membenci virus
Ternyata virus yang tak kelihatan itu
Telah melahirkan para peneliti dan para ilmuwan
Betapa banyak doktor tercipta karena virus

Apa lagi?
Coba lihat air mata saat kau menangis
Itu adalah alat pembersih alamiah dan mengurangi beban psikologi
Terasa sangat lega dan beban yang terpikul terasa ringan
Jangan meremehkan air mata!
Ribuan judul puisi bisa lahir karena tangisan
Ribuan judul drama, sandiwara, film dan sinetron tercipta karena air mata
Ribuan judul novel tercipta berkat air mata

Dan jangan lupa ...... !
Air mata wanita adalah senjata yang sangat tajam
yang dapat meruntuhkan kerajaan dan singgahsana para emperator!
Siapa yang tahan melihat air mata wanita ?
Maka menangislah kamu selagi bisa menangis
Tak ada larangan untuk menangis
Bahkan tangisan para auliya
Di keheningan malam, saat tahajjud dan sujud
Adalah kunci pembuka pintu syurga!

Apa lagi?
Lihat kulitmu yang tipis dan halus mulus
Tebalnya hanya sepersekian mili yang membungkus daging
Siapa yang mengira
Kulit yang dianggap biasa adalah jaket yang paripurna bagi daging
Tergores sedikit saja, maka kuman segera datang menyerang daging
Terjadilah pembusukan dan borok
Di akhirat kulit pun akan menjadi saksi
Dan dimintai pertanggungjawaban

Bila merasa diri tidak cantik sehingga kurang bersyukur
Datanglah ke rumah sakit
Kau akan menemukan berbagai jenis penyakit yang bisa juga menyerangmu
Maka nikmat Tuhan yang mana lagi yang kau dustakan?

Tak ada yang sia-sia apapun yang diciptakanNya
Bila ada sesuatu ciptaanNya yang kelihatannya tak berguna
Itu bukan berarti sia-sia!
Hanya manusia belum menelitinya atau tidak tahu fungsinya
Yakinlah ada hikmah di balik penciptaanNya
Dan jika mau ditulis hikmah setiap ciptaanNya
Niscaya manusia tak mampu melakukannya
Karena tak terhingga banyaknya!



Maka bahagialah orang yang pandai mengambil hikmah atau pelajaran dari setiap kejadian, baik yang langsung menimpa dirinya atau yang menimpa orang lain.

Bahagialah orang selalu melewati hari-harinya dengan membawa dan menggunakan " Kaca mata hikmah ", karena dengan kaca mata hikmah ini, dia dapat melihat seluas- luasnya dari setiap kejadian apapun, dengan kaca mata hikmah, seakan dia melihat sesuatu dari segala sisi, dari segala arah, dari segala sudut, dari multi dimensi, hingga dia dapat menghadapi hidup penuh kebahagiaan dan ketenteraman jiwa.

Orang yang selalu memandang kejadian dengan " kaca mata hikmah " akan mendapat bimbingan dan hidayah Tuhan yang sangat besar, orang seperti ini akan selalu berpikir positif melihat suatu kejadian, hingga yang dalam dirinya penuh dengan hikmah dan kebajikan, yang ada dalam dirinya, baik, baik dan selalu kebaikan. Hatinya begitu lapang, kelapangan dadanya meluas, terkadang tak terjangkau oleh manusia kebanyakan.

Mari kita kembali ke bulan Ramadhan, mari kita sambut bulan Ramadhan yang penuh hikmah ini dengan mengambil hikmahnya, mengambil intisarinya iaitu taqwa, dengan ketaqwaan orang pandai mengambil hikmah dalam setiap kejadian.

Yang puasa di Malaysia atau di sekitar khatulistiwa bersyukur, puasanya tetap dari tahun ke tahun, sekitar 12 jam! Dan yang puasa di belahan bumi utara, termasuk yang puasa di Moscow walau tetap dibalut kabut asap, juga wajib bersyukur, karena puasanya akan memakan waktu sekitar 17 jam! Berarti gembelingan madrasah Ramadhan lebih berat, namun tetap membawa hikmah.

Apa hikmahnya? Paling tidak jiwa semakin kuat dan semakin tahan terhadap penderitaan akibat iklim yang serba ekstrem dan kabut asap! Yakinlah kabut asap akan berlalu, masih ada matahari di balik kabut! Masih ada kemudahan dibalik kesusahan!

Sekian, selamat menjalankan ibadah Ramadhan 1431 H, semoga amal ibadah kita semua diterima olehNya. Amin.

Word of the Day.

Allah's Mercy over His Wrath

When Allah decreed the Creation He pledged Himself by writing in His book which is laid down with Him:

"My mercy prevails over my wrath."

It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).

My Day Today :) 18 03 2010

Assalamualaikum friends.



How are you out there?



I’m feeling good here listening to We Made You (R&B Mix)Eminem feat Jessica Simpson. The sound is just banging into my ears. Wearing this earphone and setting it to nearly the highest volume. I just enjoy it.



Its 219 am in the morning and I don’t feel sleepy yet. So I just came with an idea to put an entry into my blog while enjoying the song.



Let’s talk about what I did today yeah..



I think I have a sleeping disorder because lately I have been sleeping for too much. Its like I woke up and then I move my body to the other side of my bed and then back to sleep again. When it’s too cold, I switch off my small fan on the end of my bed and continue sleeping.. then, when I wake up again still feeling cold I switch off my ceiling fan and continue sleeping. What a habit. I only wake like in the midday. I know it’s shameful but yeah, it’s me and I feel like sharing it today. I was waken up today with a phone call from my friend telling me about the baths(research paper-Arabic) that we have to submit today during Ulum Quran class. Actually, he called and messaged me yesterday but I didn’t manage to reply and answer due to some unavoidable situations. Hahaha.



So yeah, I answered and we made a ‘date’ at the library at 2 o’clock. I came early because I have to do some reading for my Ulum Hadis class at 330. I have a presentation to make, about the holy companion, Umar al-Khattab.



Well, we met. The thing is we are supposed to finish the work during the weekend but then biasalah both of us kept quiet and then when the deadline is just around the corner, both started to menggelabah to finish the work. He did the work on translating the text from English to Arabic, which he managed to do by asking his friend to do it for him…no problem bout that. But tak aci la.. Actually the research paper was about identifying syubhat ( can’t find the right translation rite now in English) towards al-Quran. Basically, it’s about what people said or claim wrongly about the Quran and we have to come up with the radd( the reply/rebuttal) to their claims. So that’s my job and it’s really the better part of the assignment because I get the gist of the research by knowing the reply to their claims.



For me writing* in Arabic language is a bit difficult (read *typing) because I don’t do it often. So we planned to look for the answers from the net so that we can just copy and then paste the answers. You see, being a student you have to know the sources too. Haha.. Though my level is still at the bottom.. Anyway, I searched and searched through the net while he was reading and doing revision for the class today at 500. We have our third midterm(third!!!) today.. What a great lecturer! I like him. We’ll talk about later ya..

So I went back to the original English text and kept on reading until I found a line that looks like an answer to this claim.. And it is actually. And I scold him because it was just there and I had to look all over the net.. nasib baik. And then we translated the text to Arabic and put it in the right place and print it...done one work…I myself started reading and memorizing some points before going to my 330 class..



In class, which was our last class for the blissful semester, there was no lecture but just presentations. I dreaded this day somehow a bit because I don’t fancy presenting but yeah, I still have to do it. So the first one to present was a girl/lady/? (remaja perempuan apa in English, lupa la..asyik dalam bahasa Arab dah lupa bahasa inggeris.haha). Since she’s an Arab, she spoke so fast that at the end of her presentation aka taqdim aka ta’ridh the lecturer asked us “ do u guys understand?” and the girls answered “no”. and he said “ cakap sikit sikit” where in fact he’s an Arab too and it was so funny that the class laughed. Hahaha..



Students keep on going up to the front and then I volunteered to go upfront. Presented casually and had some questions from al-Ustaz Saadeldin, answered and didn’t even manage to finish the presentation he said thank you. Haha.. That’s what happens when you have 10 and more people to present in one day. Students are just too shy or maybe lazy to present in the early or middle days of lecturing.. Anyhow, I managed to present so I’m done there.



Currently listening to Jay Sean Down…



Azan was in the air.. finished class at 450 pm. Went down to the Mosque. U know, UIA has a very beautiful mosque. It’s very comfortable and very not like typical mosques out there. I am very grateful to be studying here somehow if I think back of my enrolment here in this great place. Their Muezzins, such nice and sweet but deep voice, calling people to prayers... I'm just briefly talking about it yeah since its Asar time so wanna share this too. Hehe. Their weekly khutbahs, if u don’t know is delivered in multi languages. Not in one language only.. Let’s say, the first sermon is in English, the second one may be in Arabic, or Malay, or Arabic still. It changes. There was this once when there was a delegation from China and one of them was appointed as the Khatib and he delivered the khutbah in Mandarin! Wow! Though I don’t understand it but I respect them. Then the second khutbah he spoke in Arabic. That I do understand.



Prayed Asar and stopped by at the IRK Computer Lab to check out something. Saw a friend, have a lil chat and continued to class. Came a bit late and directly started answering my exam questions. Wasn’t that difficult because I read some points earlier. My habit is I don’t like studying for exams. I like more reading for knowledge and leisure time but not for answering the exam questions. It just doesn’t feel right. But then again, its university ma… what can do…haha…



Finished the exam 5 to 10 minutes earlier from my friend and went to the lab again. Went online for a while till the lab closes and back at room.



Well, that’s about it for now. My nightlife is so much different from what it is in the day light. Haha..what is that Ismat? Nothing.. come see it for yourself.

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..

tbc...
