Kata Imam Hassan Al Banna:
" Medan bercakap tidak sama dengan medan berkhayal,
Medan amal tidak sama dengan medan bercakap,
Medan amal yg jihad tidak sama dengan medan amal biasa,
Medan jihad al-Haq tidak sama dengan medan jihad yang salah."
There are things that perhaps are always at the back of our minds, things that we'd like to share with people, things that will bring benefit to people, but sometimes, those things are hard to be voiced out or explained to other people. Maybe due to lack of confidence, or lack of opportunity to spread the good words or etc.
[Medan bercakap tidak sama dgn medan berkhayal, berkhayal tu is like medan fikiran-thinking as well]
And then there comes a stage where we do spread the words to people, we talk of good things, we invite them to do good, but in the end what's important is ....well, is to do it ourselves- amalkannya. Walk the talk, as people say it. For example, no use telling other people not to talk bad about people, when we ourselves are talking bad about other people. Right?
[Medan amal tidak sama dengan medan bercakap]
Whatever that we do, it should always be in the niat to do ibadah. The moment we wake up, to the time when we lie back to go to sleep that night, all the amal in between should be dedicated only for Almighty God. When we breathe, we breathe for Him; when we study, it is only for Him etc etc.
But the best of those who do good, is doing jihad while doing those deeds. Jihad here does NOT mean going to war etc etc, but jihad actually means putting your best effort in anything that you do. Jihad= bersungguh-sungguh. For example, when you're studying, you focus with all your might, pulun habis2an, strive for excellence and you maximize the effort!! [baca dgn nada semangat]. Because that's what Allah asks you to do- jihad while studying!!
[Medan amal yg jihad tidak sama dengan medan amal biasa]
And the most important thing is to do jihad al-Haq. What is jihad al-Haq? It is the jihad in search of the truth, and the jihad of spreading the truth. The truth about the purpose of life, the reason we're created, and the place where we're destined to in the hereafter. The truth of God, and sharing the meaning of the beautiful Syahadah with people around us. Not only sharing the Syahadah, but actually LIVING the Syahadah...
[Medan jihad al-Haq tidak sama dengan medan jihad yang salah]

satu ayat
"And strive hard in Allah's cause as you ought to strive. He has chosen you,and has not laid upon you in religion any hardship.
It is the religion of your father Ibrahim.
It is He Who has named you Muslims both before and in this (Quran), that the Messenger may be a witness over you, and you be witness over mankind!
So perform As-Salat, give Zakat, and hold fast to Allah.
He is your Maula, what an Excellent Maula and what an excellent Helper!"
Al-Hajj: 78
Kan ada hadis Nabi kata, sampaikan lah walau satu ayat.. Jadi cukup la satu ayat utk hari ni, utk peringatan saya dan awak.
OK apa, satu ayat sekalipun. At least itu satu output daripada saya. Betul kan, output kena lagi banyak drpd input ?
Lagi banyak talk yang saya dgr, lagi banyak ceramah yg saya pergi, lagi banyak pengisian yang saya dapat, sepatutnya dengan begitu, lagi BANYAK lah benda yang patut saya salurkan dan share-kan kepada orang ramai.
Tak gitu?
Tapi secara jujur, bila muhasabah balik diri, rasa terlalu sedikit ilmu yang disampaikan. Entahla, nak kata tak de peluang, banyak je cara2 and medium2 utk salurkan ilmu...blogging is one of them kan? *take note there, Mai* Bila jumpa orang ramai, boleh je patutnya selitkan satu dua benda.. *sigh*
Nowadays, I'm always finding myself questioning , of what have I actually done, for the people around me...for the ummah in general. Have I at least contribute something, anything at all for the world ? Have I actually made a difference in someone's life, one way or another? Has my presence in this world affect a soul, at least?
And then it would hit me hard: I haven't done enough! Would the things that I do, be up to the measure of what I have received from Him, countless of nikmat needless to say. How could I be such tak-bersyukur-punya-manusia who only receive, receive, receive so MUCH from Him, but is too kedekut to give and share, especially on things that would help people find their way back to Him? And what would I answer to Him when the time finally comes for me to meet Him? Would I be able to face Him, radiating with joy because of His Rahmah to me, or would I be in absolute sorrow (nauzubillahi minzalik) in front of Him ?
Now, now sit back and just, let's think. Everything that matters to me, to us, to you, should be what Allah thinks of us, and not what other people think of us, kan? Because isn't that the whole meaning of life all about? To find and search, high and low, for his Redha,, for his Blessings, for his Rahmat. Because , believe it or not, one day we will all die, we will all be resurrected,and we will all be questioned on things that we have done in the world.
And believe me, dunia ini hanyalah sementara, tak penting sgt pun dunia ni (compared to akhirat yang infinity timeline dia), so tak payah la get too worked up on minor2 and small2 problems you think you're having. Instead, use the opportunity that you've got in this world, the time you have left, to do good, and to spread the words of God. (Who knows when will it be our last breath?) Remember, that He knows what you're doing, however small the deed you think it is, and He'll reward you tremendously in the Hereafter..inshaAllah.
Sorri Allah for not doing enough (but I promise I'll do moreeee). Sorry to the people around me if I haven't share enough(and I will do moreee). May all of us learn from our mistakes and become a better person each and every day...inshaAllah.
*sori ayat rojak2, not in the mood to write proper language today..so sorri*

my dear sisters
I've never thought it was possible before. To love someone whom I've never met before, never talk to before, never crossed path with ..EVER before in life. But of course, with God's Grace and Willing, nothing is actually ever impossible. And that's the wonder of it all: To meet a person, and to love,(& a heartfelt one at that), all because of Him.
"The Russians invaded Leicester last week." Hehe.. Well, they did. Perhaps not all of Leicester, but 1 Hazel Street they did. They are some Malaysian students coming all the way from Moscow and Volgograd(excuse me if the spelling is incorrect, it's hard enough to pronounce it right!) on a tour around UK and Ireland for 10 days. And my housemates and I have got the privilege to become one of their hosts when they come to visit us in Leicester.
And yes, it was a wonderful experience. Even more than words can describe. It was ever more so meaningful as we know that, what has brought us together are this strong faith and the yearning for knowledge of Islam. And also knowing that those are the reasons that we were able to meet and get to know each other. It was great to be able to share experiences, to share laughter and smiles, to touch these pure hearts...all for the sake of Allah.
As one sister has put it, the only way you can feel the meaning of ukhuwah fillah is to, feel by being part of it yourself. As no words are actually enough to describe it.
And now, the littlest thing that I do just reminds me of these beautiful sisters so much!
As I cross the Nelson Mandela Park, I would smile at the thought of us stopping by to take pictures of the wintry leafless Park.
As I switch the lights to prepare for sleep, I would remember those cute adek2 wishing me "Good night kak maaii" as I bid them good night, sleep tight :)
As I look at these books on tarbiyah, I would remember the adek2 who would not go out for sightseeing because they would like to read and finish the book. They'd sacrifice 'jalan2' for the sake of that knowledge.
Even the thought of Maryland (a fast food outlet in Leicester) reminds me of them. Of how 19 of them could fit in the small store, and how excited they were to taste those finger-licking, (and very2 oily!) chicken wings. Not easy to get anywhere else I guess. ;p
Thank you sisters for brightening up my days. Thank you sisters for showing me the meaning of true ukhuwah fillah. Thank you dear sisters.
"Perjuangan itu artinya berkorban
Berkorban itu artinya terkorban
Janganlah gentar untuk berjuang
Demi agama dan bangsa Inilah jalan kita."
sebenarnye..saya rindu akan akhawat2 dari rusia itu. bole tak siapa2 sampaikan salam rindu sy pada mereka di sana? pls?
[pelik kan mcm mana walau cuma sehari berjumpa tp rasa seperti sudah setahun berkenalan]

1429
Satu artikel menarik yang saya baca, rasanya elok utk dikongsi bersama sempena Tahun Baru Islam.
Source: IMAM UK Eire YG
Assalamu'alaikum. ..
Baru lapan hari sudah 2008 menjenguk, hampir terlupa kita esok fasa baru Maal Hijrah 1429 bermula. Tirai pembukaan 2008 menyaksikan kepada kita betapa generasi muda Malaysia hari ini begitu meriah menyambut tahun baru, hingga ada yang terkulai di tepi-tepi jalan kemabukan, pergaulan rambang dan kelab-kelab malam menyajikan hiburan all night long! Nak tak nak kita hari ini perlu mengakui bahawa budaya hedonisme begitu menular dalam masyarakat kita, dari yang sekecil-kecil usia sehinggalah kepada yang tua. Media massa yang awalnya menyiarkan upacara tahun baru besar-besaran anjuran mereka esoknya turut mengutuk 'hasil' daripada sajian hidangan mereka, bagai menjilat ludah sendiri.
Pernah melalui bandar Belfast atau bandar lain di UK/Eire seawal 1- 2 pagi? Pernah lihat masyarakat yang siangnya 'bertamadun' tiba-tiba menjadi liar, ganas dan berkeliaran di malam hari? Anda akan rasa gerun takut-takut kereta anda dirempuh oleh puluhan manusia yang berlegar-legar di tengah jalan, bukan mereka yang takut dilanggar kita! Saya berfikir sejenak tak mustahil satu hari nanti masyarakat Malaysia akan jadi seperti mereka. Christmas-clubbing, mabuk, New Year's Eve-clubbing, mabuk, St Patrick's -clubbing, mabuk! Seolah-olah tiada ertinya perayaan-perayaan ini melainkan hari yang ada excuse untuk clubbing dan mabuk! Pernah colleague saya meminta untuk swap hari bekerja takut2 dia akan hangover keesokannya. Gerun memikirkan jika hal yang sama terjadi di Msia.
Percayalah sahabat-sahabat, hari ini Islam diperintah bukan memerintah. 'Sekecil-kecil' strategi jahiliyah terancang seperti penularan penggunaan kalendar Gregorian di merata dunia sudah cukup membuat generasi hari ini melupai perjuangan dan pengorbanan Rasulullah. Peristiwa hijrah nabi menjadi contoh ulung di mana generasi muda hari itu benar-benar membina Islam, dan menyokong gerakan ke arah kesatuannya dan ke arah Islam yang memerintah, bukan diperintah. Lihat sahaja kepada Saidina Ali, belia muda yang sanggup menggadai nyawa menggantikan tempat tidur kekasih Allah. Tidak lupa kepada Asma' Abu Bakar (kakak 'Aisyah) yang sanggup merempuh lautan gurun membawa bekalan makanan buat ayahanda dan Rasulullah, seolah-olah langsung tidak gerun dikejar gerombolan angkatan tentera kuffar.
Peranan Abdulllah bin Abu Bakar tidak kurang hebatnya. Dalam tempoh tiga hari Rasulullah dan Abu Bakar bersembunyi di dalam gua Thur, beliau mengambil risiko menjadi pembekal maklumat-maklumat terkini tentang perancangan musyrikin Mekah. Di waktu siang beliau berada di sekitar Mekah sambil merisik maklumat. Kemudian ke gua Thur ketika hari hampir gelap untuk membentangkan laporan risikannya. Kemudian beliau pulang semula ke Mekah sebelum fajar terbit supaya pergerakannya tidak dilihat oleh Abu Jahal dan konco-konconya.
Pernah dengar nama 'Amir bin Fuhairah? Insan inilah yang berkorban membawa haiwan gembalaannya dengan tujuan menghilangkan kesan tapak kaki si perisik dan pembekal makanan yang sering berulang-alik dari Makkah ke Gua Thur.
Letak sahaja diri kita di tempat mereka. Begitu sukar sekali membayangkan kesanggupan untuk berkorban sehingga sanggup menggadaikan nyawa. Jika hari ini kita disibukkan dengan youtube, friendster, Xbox dan PS, di mana masa untuk Islam dan perjuangan? Setarakah kita berbanding generasi muda silam sedangkan kita hari ini sama mengharapkan syurga dan rahmat Allah? Setarakah nilai hidup kita dengan mereka sedangkan hari ini kita membaca al-Quran yang sama dengan mereka?
Kepada yang sudah berumah tangga, marilah sama-sama berazam membina anak-anak sehebat dan seberani Abdullah, Asma' dan 'Aisyah Abu Bakar. Binalah potensi mereka sejak kecil mengenal kalamullah, kerana minda kanak-kanak terlalu suci untuk dilumur dengan karat jahiliyah moden.
Semoga 1429H membuka fasa baru untuk Muslim terus cemerlang insyaAllah.. .
Artikel ringkas ini tak lain dan tak bukan adalah untuk muhasabah saya sendiri dan yang ingin mengambil sedikit pengajaran. Wallahua'lam.
Selamat menyambut Maal Hijrah 1429H.

An email from Brother Sokry
Our stay in Cambodia may just be for 2 weeks, but the bond that the team madewith the local Cambodians was amazing. Brother Sokry, from IMAC is one of them,who had helped us a GREAT deal when we were there. A final yr med student himself, heis also very active in social and community work in Cambodia, to serve the Muslim community in Cambodia.
He would wake up in the early hours (even during our programme, according to the guys) every day to have some time to study, and he even worked during the night I think. Not to forget his involvement in the community services that would take some of his time off for his study.
It amazes me how he could have managed his really hectic life, and his compassion to serving the Muslims in Cambodia is just so inspiring.
Anyway, he was the one who taught me how to 'sunat' (or circumcise) so personally for me, it would be hard to forget him. hehe. He even said I was good at it ..at suturing etc (muke bangga ;p). Jadi next time saya akan lebih bersemangat utk menyunat org... err..apakah??
Anyway, here's an email that I have just received from him, to all our teammates. It's good to know that there are people who are striving for the welfare of the muslims in Cambodia, and yes, all of the CRM team members will always keep Cambodia and its people in our hearts, and will not forget them. We will not forget to offer our prayers (if that's the least that we can do) for the Cambodians, and we wish to continue doing
relief missions in the near future (although I may not be able to join sob sob).
Here's the email:
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, This is brother Him Sokrey, medical student in Cambodia and the acting member of IMAC.
We sincerely praise ALLAH Almighty for His countless blessings and bounties. Let us begin by reminding ourselves to always be God fearing (Fear Allah) in all instances and conditions. Let us believe that only by being God conscious can we then attain success in this world and the hereafter. I you are all, my friends, in the best of health and Iman and always guide by Almighty Allah.
How is your study after back from Cambodia? How do you feel of Cambodians? I miss you all very much especially those who always keep contact with me by sms and email. ha ha Remember the time we worked together, talked and shared, etc... Zaff and Farharna! In the attachment you will see what you want us, IMAC, to help you for your assignments. And I am very sorry for late doing that. Cuz I was very busy my final exams and Qurban program to the provinces. Hope this still can help you friends. Please try your best for the development of our brothers and sisters in Islam.
I would like to extend my grateful thanks to your group (relief misssion 2007) by pray to Allah to grant us will and power to get maximum benefits out of our activities. Good health, Rahmat, Taofiq, successfully and blessing from Allah are for Muslim in the World, especially for you all. I pray to Almighty Allah to help us all to serve Islam and Muslim. He is the only one God who can help us.
Your brother in Islam,
HIM SOKREY (Shukry bin Amin Ibrahim)

Inspiration
Was browsing the net in between studying -studying on tuberculosis to be exact ( just can't keep my fingers off the laptop even when studying.. naughty naughty) and came about this article relating to this disease.TB was actually first described by ibnu sina/avicenna the famous Muslim physician, philopsopher, mathematician (and the list goes on)... very inspiring indeed, to read on his early childhood, and his supreme intellect, the gift of God to him masya Allah... on how when he came to face difficulities and problems when studying, he would turn to Allah to find guidance and solace..he would take his ablutions and perform the prayer to find light.
From wikipedia..
From wikipedia..
Early life
Ibn Sīnā's life is known to us from authoritative sources. A biography, which is widely considered by foremost Arabicists to have been composed by a disciple and later redacted, covers his first thirty years, and the rest are documented by his disciple al-Juzjani, who was also his secretary and his friend.
He was born in Central Asia around 980 (370 AH) in Balkh present day Afghanistan. His father, a respected Ismaili[27] or Sunni[2] scholar of Balkh, an important town of the Persian state of Khorasan, was at the time of his son's birth the governor in one of the Samanid Nuh ibn Mansur's estates. He had his son very carefully educated at Bukhara. Ibn Sina himself may have been either a Hanafi Sunni[2][3] or Twelver Shia.[28] Ibn Sina's independent thought was served by an extraordinary intelligence and memory, which allowed him to overtake his teachers at the age of fourteen. As he said in his autobiography there wasn't anything which he hadn't learned when he reached eighteen.
Ibn Sīnā was put under the charge of a tutor, and his precocity soon made him the marvel of his neighbours; he displayed exceptional intellectual behaviour and was a child prodigy who had memorized the Qur'an by the age of 7 and a great deal of Persian poetry as well. He learned Indian arithmetic from an Indian greengrocer, and he began to learn more from a wandering scholar who gained a livelihood by curing the sick and teaching the young. He also studied Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) under the Hanafi scholar Ismail al-Zahid.[2][3]
He was greatly troubled by the Metaphysics of Aristotle, which he could not understand until he read al-Farabi's commentary on the work.[29] For the next year and a half, he studied philosophy, in which he encountered greater obstacles. In such moments of baffled inquiry, he would leave his books, perform the requisite ablutions (wudu), then go to the mosque, and continue in prayer (salah) till light broke on his difficulties. Deep into the night he would continue his studies, and even in his dreams problems would pursue him and work out their solution. Forty times, it is said, he read through the Metaphysics of Aristotle, till the words were imprinted on his memory; but their meaning was hopelessly obscure, until one day they found illumination, from the little commentary by Farabi, which he bought at a bookstall for the small sum of three dirhams. So great was his joy at the discovery, thus made by help of a work from which he had expected only mystery, that he hastened to return thanks to God, and bestowed alms upon the poor.
He turned to medicine at 16, and not only learned medical theory, but also by gratuitous attendance on the sick had, according to his own account, discovered new methods of treatment. The teenager achieved full status as a physician at age 18 and found that "Medicine is no hard and thorny science, like mathematics and metaphysics, so I soon made great progress; I became an excellent doctor and began to treat patients, using approved remedies." The youthful physician's fame spread quickly, and he treated many patients without asking for payment.
Hebatnya ilmuwan Islam dahulu. Jom jadi mcm Ibnu Sina... kita belajar medic betul2.... jadi mantap macam dia inshaAllah...okey!
