Dengan Nama ALLAH yg Maha Pemurah lagi Maha Pengasih... Bayangkan benda ini berlaku pada anda..... Suatu hari pada masa Sembahyang jumaat yang di hadiri oleh lebih kurang 1,000 jemaah... tiba-tiba masuk dua orang lelaki yang menutupi seluruh tubuhnyer dgn pakaian hitam.. tak nampak apa cuma dua biji mata and membawa mesin gun...lalu salah seorang lelaki tu bertempik " "Sesiapa yang sanggup MATI kerana ALLAH sila berdiri di tempat kamu" Selepas mendengar amaran lelaki itu maka segeralah bertempiaran lari para jemaah itu utkmenyelamatkan diri....daripada jumlah yang 1,000 tadi tu hanya tinggal lebih kurang 20 orang sahaja yang masih berdiri di tempat masing-masing termasuk Pak Iman tu... Lalaki yang bertempik tadi segera membuka tutup mukanya lalu melihat ke arah Pak Imam sambil berkata:"Ok Pak Iman, saya dah halau SEMUA yang hipokrit, sekarang bolehlah Pak Iman mulakan sembahyang Jumaat".... Lalu kedua lelaki tersebut berpaling dan meninggalkan jemaah....Macammana??..adakah anda rasa lawak dgn cerita di atas. selain terhibur anda fikirlahlah..." Lawak kan, dari 1,000 org yg mengaku dia Islam hanya 20 yg betul-betul beriman... "" Lawakkan berapa banyak manusia yang mudah lupakan ALLAH bila menghadapi bahaya...kedua lelaki hanya membawa mesin-gun.. dia tak kata pun nak bunuh..tapi generasi skrang.. amat lemah..baru kena ugut terus lari lintang pukang.. lupa yg dia tak sembahyangjumaat lagi...""Lawak, ada juga yang agamanya cuma seminggu sahaja.. tu pun bila time sembahyang jumaat.. tunjuk muka kat org kampung.. ada tu lagi dashyat setahun 2 kali aje.. bile time sembahyang raya...""Lawakkan, ramai orang percaya kepada gosip dan apa yang di tulis oleh surat khabar daripada apa yang tercatit dsalam al Quran""Lawak kan, berapa ramai yg percaya dunia hanya sementara, akhirat adalah tempat yang kekal, tapi berlumba-lumba mengejar dunia""Lawak kita boleh bersembang dgn boyfriend atau girlfriend berejam-rejam tapi nak berdoa kepada ALLAh alahai.. tak cukup masa..Dan lebih lawak lagi, bila kita boleh post banyak thread atau email yang berunsur lawak jenaka dan lucah kesemua tempat tapi merasa berat nak berkongsi dan nak hantar artikel2 yang berunsur agamaLawak kan???Kenapa gelak².. tu kan realiti..tapi yg paling lawak sekali.. berapa orang yang lepas baca benda ni akansampaikan kat orang lain...berapa orang yang akan buka thread ni untuk luangkan masa membaca? berapa banyak???? Wallahualam..

CHARITY IN D BRAIN NOT D HEART ???
charity begins...in the posterior superior temporal salcus, according to scientists who have traced the origin of kindness in the brain.
a study found that this part of the brain is more active in people who engaged in helping behaviour.
the region, which lies in the top and back of the brain is linked to sorting out social relationships. US scientists scanned the brains of 45 volunteers using a technique that can watch the brain working.
participants either played a computer game or watched a computer play a game on its own. in either case, winning the game earned money for a chosen charity.
volunteers were also questioned about how often they put others before themselves.
the brain scan revealed that the most charitable showed the most activity in the posterior superior temporal salcus when the camputer game was being played.
the scientists think altruistic behaviour originates from the way people view the world rather than how they act on it; perceiving others' actions as meaningful is critical to altruism.
kami dah hampir menamatkan block ethics utk PBL kali ni. Alhamdulillah, lega saya dibuatnya. block ethics mungkin block yg paling saya tak suka walaupun senior selalu tekankan bhw block ni akan jadi paling best sebab byk isu boleh dibangkitkan. tapi nampaknya bg saya sendiri, block ini paling memenjara fikiran saya.
oh,berita kat atas ni dr Metro Dublin.tak sempat nak diulas skrg, kene prepare utk PBL ethics terakhir =P.

10 WASIAT HASSAN AL-BANNA
bismiLLah,
1. Apabila mendengar azan, segeralah mendirikan solat walau dalam keadaan apa sekali pun.
2. Bacalah al-Qur’an, tatapilah buku-buku, pergilah mendengar perkara-perkara yang baik, amalkanlah zikrullah, dan janganlah sama sekali membuang masa dengan perkara yang tidak berfaedah.
3. Berusahalah sedaya upaya untuk bertutur dalam bahasa Arab yang betul kerana bahasa Arab yang betul itu, adalah satu-satunya syiar Islam.
4. Janganlah banyak bertengkar kerana pertengkaran kosong tidak mendatangkan kebaikan.
5. Janganlah banyak ketawa kerana hati yang sentiasa berhubung dengan Allah itu sentiasa tenang lagi tenteram.
6. Janganlah bergurau kerana umat yang sedang berjuang itu tidak mengerti melainkan bersungguh-sungguh dalam setiap perkara.
7. Janganlah bercakap lebih nyaring daripada kadar yang diperlukan oleh pendengar kerana percakapan yang nyaring adalah resmi yang sia-sia dan boleh menyakiti hati orang.
8. Jauhilah daripada mengumpat peribadi orang dan mengecam sesebuah; dan janganlah bercakap melainkan apa-apa yang boleh memberi kebajikan.
9. Berkenal-kenalanlah dengan setiap Ikhwan Muslimin yang ditemui walaupun dia tidak meminta saudara berkenalan dengannya — asas gerakan dakwah kita ialah berkasih sayang dan berkenal-kenalan.
10. Kewajipan kita lebih banyak daripada masa yang ada; oleh itu tolonglah saudaramu agar mereka dapat menggunakan masa dengan berfaedah; dan jika anda mempunyai tugas sendiri, ringkaskanlah pelaksanaannya.

Hmm..ini brain teasers. mata manusia sering tertipu dgn ilusi optik. serupa juga dlm hidup ni, kadang2 apa yg kita nampak scr zahirnya belum tentu adalah perkara yg hakikat, terutama dlm mengekalkan ikatan ukhwah sesama insan. ada byk ranjau dan onak dlm perjalanan yg kalau kita cuma menggunakan mata zahir utk mentafsir, maka kita akan tertipu dgn ilusi dunia. Allah berfirman dlm surah al-Hajj ayat 46;
(sesungguhnya buta itu bukanlah buta mata tetapi buta hati yg berada di dlm dada)
memang betul, sesungguhnya yg sebenar-benar buta adalah hati yg tak mampu utk menilai sesuatu. buta mata cuma tak nampak jalan di dunia, tetapi kalau buta hati, tak nampak jalan menuju akhirat yg akan menjadi destinasi pasti bg setiap insan. buta hati menghalang kita dari melihat kebenaran walau betul-betul berada di depan mata. oleh itu sahabat2 sekalian, jangan biarkan diri kita tertipu dgn ilusi dunia, harta, pangkat , wanita (hehe,harapnya SIS x baca) dan etc. yg tak kekal...
aperpun, trylah brain teasers kat bawah ni, ktorang (rumet n hosemet) riuh rendah dgn bende ni..merapatkan ukhwah=)
btol ke tak ni???
tak tau betul ke tak gambar ni,agak confuse jugak. hmm.. takkan DBP berdiam diri jer kot.. tapi kalau betul pun apa salahnya ;).time2 gini rase bertuah pulak jadik rakyat klate, dahlah makanan bervariasi, kepimpinan ulama' insha Allah, bahasa pon unik..(skrg ni dah agak ketandusan ide, agak bz dgn PBL ethics..)
~PESANAN SEORANG TEMAN~
Ini adalah potongan daripada sebuah kitab imam al-Ghazali , (thanks to Adibah Najihah)
“With eager desire you are setting out to acquire knowledge, my friend; of yourself you are making clear how genuine is your lunging and how passionate your thirst for it. Be sure that, if in your quest for knowledge your aim is to gain something for yourself and to surpass your fellows, to attract men’s attention to yourself and to amass this worldly vanities, then you are on the way to bring your religion to nothing and destroy yourself, to sell your eternal life for this present one; your bargain is dead loss, your trading without profit.
On the other hand, if in seeking knowledge your intention and purpose between God most high and yourself is to receive guidance and not merely to acquire information, then rejoice. The angels will spread their wings for you when you walk, and the denizens of the sea will ask pardon from God for you when you run.
Here, then I give you counsel. If you find your heart drawn towards it and your soul docile and receptive, go ahead, make for the end, launch out into the oceans of knowledge. If, on the other hand, you find that when you turn to the matter seriously, your heart tends to procrastinate and to put off actually doing anything about it, then you may be sure that the part of your soul which is drawn to seek knowledge is the evil-inclined irrational soul. [So setan guys] Satan’s aim is to unite you with those ‘who most lose their works, whose effort goes astray in this present life though they think they are doing well’
‘O God, I take refuge with Thee from knowledge which does not benefit, from the heart which does not humble itself, from the act which is not lifted up to God, and from the prayer which is not heard’
People who seek knowledge are of three types. There is the man who seeks knowledge to take it as his traveling-provision for the life to come; he seeks thereby only the Countenance of God and the mansion of eternity; such man is saved. Then there is the man who seeks it FOR THE HELP IS GIVES IN HIS TRANSITORY LIFE IN OBTAINING POWER, INFLUENCE, AND WEALTH, and at the same time is aware of the ultimate truth and in his heart has some perception of the worthlessness of his condition and the vileness of his aim. Such man is in jeopardy, for if his appointed comes upon him suddenly before he repents, a bad end of life is to be feared for him and his fate will depend upon the will (of God). A third man has been overcome by Satan. HE HAS TAKEN KNOWLEDGE AS A MEANS TO INCREASE HIS WEALTH, THE BOAST OF HIS INFLUENCE AND TO PRIDE HIMSELF ON HIS NUMEROUS FOLLOWING. BY HIS KNOWLEDGE HE EXPLORES EVERY AVENUE WHICH OFFERS A PROSPECT OF REALIZING WHAT HE HOPES FOR THIS WORLD. Moreover, he believes in himself that he has an important place in God’s eyes because with his garb and jargon he bears the brand and stamp the scholar despite his mad desire of this world both openly and in secret. Such men will perish, being stupid, and easily deceived, for there is no hope for their repentance since they fancy that they are acting well.
Only through piety is anything really achieved; only the pious are guided. Piety designates carrying the commands of God most high and turning aside from what He prohibits, and thus has two parts.” (al-Ghazali)

yes, u smell OuTStaNdING !!
(PERHATIAN: GAMBAR HANYALAH PERHIASAN SEMATA-MATA)
Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari, radi Allahu 'anhu, reported that the Prophet, sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam said:
"The example of a good companion and a bad one is the bearer of musk and the worker on the fires. A bearer of musk would give you some, you might buy some from him, or you might enjoy the fragrance of his musk. The worker on the fires, on the other hand, might spoil your clothes with sparks from his bellows, or you get a bad smell from him."
Bukhari and MuslimLessons from this Hadith:Who are the top 5 people you hang out with? List them. Now look at their qualities and you'll notice that you are a product of the sum of them. Do they have the outstanding qualities that you seek? If not, then it's time to find some bearers of musk that you can truly smell great from.
adakah nasib somalia spt iraq n afghanistan???
sejak memulakan term hillary 8 jan baru2 ni, sy mmg tak berkesempatan utk menulis. mungkin sbb menulis bukan 'batu besar' bg kehidupan sy , lantas tak punya masa yg dirasakan paling sesuai utk menulis. ada beberapa event yg berlaku di sini yg elok utk dikongsikan, AGM PPIMI baru2 ni n a few others like IMAM ; seminar ibadah pesakit yg masih lg dlm perancangan. walau macm mana pun, dlm skop globalnya kalau anda mengikuti ttg perang somalia-ethiopia yg semakin berlarutan, kita akan dapati US dah mula mengaturkan langkahnya.
saya akan pastekan beritanya kat bawah ni, agak panjang sedikit..
By MOHAMED OLAD HASSAN, Associated Press Writer 31 minutes ago
MOGADISHU, Somalia - A U.S. airstrike hit targets in southern Somalia where Islamic militants were believed to be sheltering suspects in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies, Somali officials and witnesses said Tuesday. Many people were reported killed.
Monday's attack was the first overt military action by the U.S. in Somalia since it led a U.N. force in the 1990s that intervened in Somalia in an effort to fight famine. The mission led to clashes between U.N. forces and Somali warlords, including the "Black Hawk Down" battle that left 18 U.S. servicemen dead.
Helicopter gunships launched new attacks Tuesday near the scene of a U.S. airstrike in the village of Hayi, although it was not clear if they were American or Ethiopian aircraft, and it was not known if there were any casualties.
Two helicopters "fired several rockets toward the road that leads to the Kenyan border," said Ali Seed Yusuf, a resident of the town of Afmadow in southern Somalia.
The aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower arrived off Somalia's coast and launched intelligence-gathering missions over Somalia, the military said. Three other U.S. warships are conducting anti-terror operations off the Somali coast.
U.S. warships have been seeking to capture al-Qaida members thought to be fleeing Somalia after Ethiopia invaded Dec. 24 in support of the government and drove the Islamic militia out of the capital and toward the Kenyan border.
The White House would not confirm the attack, nor would the
Pentagon' Pentagon.
But a U.S. government official said at least one AC-130 gunship was used. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the operation's sensitivity.
AC-130 gunships have elaborate sensors that can go after targets day or night. They are operated by the Special Operations Command and have been used heavily against the Taliban in
Afghanistan' Afghanistan.
The airstrike occurred Monday evening after the suspects were seen hiding on a remote island on the southern tip of Somalia, close to the Kenyan border, Somali officials said. The island and a site near the village of Hayi, 155 miles to the north, were hit.

Largely isolated, the coast north of Lamu is predominantly Muslim and many residents are of Arab descent. Boats from Lamu often visit Somalia and the Persian Gulf, making the Kenya-Somalia border area ideal for him to escape.
President Abdullahi Yusuf told journalists in the capital, Mogadishu, that the U.S. "has a right to bombard terrorist suspects who attacked its embassies." Deputy Prime Minister Hussein Aideed told The Associated Press the U.S. had "our full support for the attacks."
But others in the capital said the attacks would only increase anti-American sentiment in the largely Muslim country.
"U.S. involvement in the fighting in our country is completely wrong," said Sahro Ahmed, a 37-year-old mother of five.
Already, many people in predominantly Muslim Somalia had resented the presence of troops from neighboring Ethiopia, which has a large Christian population and has fought two brutal wars with Somalia, most recently in 1977.

'kebatilan yg terancang akan mengalahkan kebenaran yg tak terancang'
peristiwa2 n perang2 yg dah berlaku dlm dunia islam tak semudah yg disangka. bukanlah musuh islam mempunyai kekuatan yg tak terlawan atau kekuasaan ekonomi yg mencengkam. mereka tentunya sudah melakukan pelbagai research ttg kita muslim, kekuatan n kelemahan. mereka telah berusaha utk mengatasi kita yg sebenarnya sgt susah dikuasai. bilakah kita akan mula menggunakan akal n kebijaksaan yg telah Allah anugerahkan ini utk mula merancang n melaksanakan lebih hebat dr mereka krn kita tak mungkin mampu utk menunggu lebih lama.
'mereka merancang, kita juga merancang, tapi perancangan ALLAH Maha Hebat'
FUNDERLAND ~ EXTREME N THRILL yg menggamit kenangan (walau dikutuk oleh rumet yg kata tu adlh level funfair jer!!)
FUNDERLAND- saya bersama rumet telah pegi ke RDS satu tgh hari (mengikut prancangannya pagi). oleh kerana kami telah tersalah menunggu bas di opposite direction, maka kami tlh terlepas satu bas n terpaksa menunggu lebih kurang satu jam sblum bas yg seterusnya tiba. bukannya perkara yg mudah kerana di musim winter ni, terpaksa berkejar-kejaran utk menepati waktu solat dan juga utk menjaga wudhu'. saya pun hairan, macam mana boleh terikut ke funderland ni, tak terfikir oleh akal tapi terlaksana oleh anggota. mungkin sebab rumet atau ada agenda yg lebih besar ??? oh, tu patutnya disimpan utk diri sendiri.
barangkali saya mmg jenis org yg agak kolot n ketingalan zaman, melihat funfair begini pun sudah terasa thrill nya, apatah lagi kalau ke theme park. sebelum2 ini, mengikut sejarah hidup saya, tak pernah ke funfair melainkan dgn family dan itupun agak jarang bermain utk beri ruang pd adik2 lain yg masih kecil. oh, pernah juga sekali ke Genting Theme Park, tapi itu utk mempraktikkan teknik 'memerhatikan manusia' dlm satu kem penulisan. dan memang saya cuma memerhatikan manusia. lalu sudahnya, saya mmg ketandusan pengalaman2 begini. thrill bg saya mungkin hanya dgn mengayuh basikal selaju mungkin di lorong kg saya atau mungkin melalui anatomy spot exam.
tapi yg kali ini, thrillnya berbeza...
dlm perjalanan , saya kerap terfikir, betul ke apa yg sedang saya buat. tak tahu neraca mana yg patut di guna utk membuat pertimbangan. saya try utk fikir pro dan kontra pergi ke funderland, cuba menganalisis (mmg jenis tembikai...) dan sudahnya; saya dapati utk mengakrabkan diri dgn rumet adalah lebih utama demi mencapai satu tujuan yg lebih besar. lagipun, Islam tak pernah menghalang hiburan yg berpada-pada. mudah-mudahan ini menjadi satu ibadahku, sesuai dgn janjiku padaMu setiap hari...
Inna solati, wa nusuqi, wa mahyaya wa mamati, liLLAHI RABBIL A'LAMIN...
hmm... di funderland tu mmglah byk game2 nya. tak perlulah diceritakan di sini...lagipun saya tak berapa pasti ttg namanya. cuma mungkin, jika anda berpeluang uk ke funderland di ireland ni, saya cadangkan utk cuba 'wild mouse'. tu yg paling best bg saya, walau dikutuk oleh rumet yg mengatakan itu cuma level fun, tak sampai thrill. haha. mungkin betul, tapi saya suka so tak kisah sgt...
dlm waktu2 itu, saya teringatkan umi dan abah... rasa nostalgik. tak tau kenapa, saya terasa bhw mereka sebenarnya dah berjaya utk menonjolkan konsep sebenar islam, bukannya islam yg bercampur adat melayu. sewaktu saya membesar di rumah,( boleh dikatakan hampir 18 tahun, sebab kami adik beradik tak pernah dihantar ke sekolah berasrama), umi tak pernah membelikan kami yg perempuan2 ini jeans. dan kami mmg jarang benar utk keluar ke bandar berT-shirt n seluar. tapi lepas saya keluar IB dan hampir fly, umi bawa saya keluar shopping utk pakaian...
memang saya agak terkejut, sebab umi belikan jeans. walaupun agak payah utk cari yg 'baggy' atau yg besar sikit, tapi kami berjaya. lalu umi explain(lebih kurang beginilah kot, sbb saya da lupa the exact ayat) "tuntutan pakaian dlm islam yg utama adalah menutupi aurat, dan tak menarik perhatian, dalam waktu2 winter, eloklah pakai ni utk jaga dr sejuk". hmm... betul jugak. dulu saya mmg anti-jeans utk perempuan. tak terfikir diri sendiri satu hari akan pakai juga. tapi Alhamdulillah, itu satu pengajaran yg berharga utk saya, memahami islam dgn konteks yg lebih luas, beramal dgn islam sebaik yg termampu , bukan shj utk diri sendiri tapi juga utk masyarakat sekelililng . (kini masyarakat irish=p)- bukanlah nak menjustifikasikan pemakaian jeans bg wanita tp berpakaianlah mengikut tuntutan syara' dan kesesuaian diri utk waktu tersebut.
dan teringat juga dekat abah. hmm.. abah ni mmg tak byk cakap. jarang benar nak diambil tahunya pasal pakaian kite. kekadang dia terlupa anak2 sendiri ni dah darjah berapa? dulu masa saya darjah dua, dapat no. 2 dlm periksa akhir tahun dan kene rotan 2 kali. hehe. masa tu mmg tak puas hati, tapi Alhamdulillah, lepas tu dah tak kena rotan lagi (walau kekadang dpt no yg agak bnyak jugak). abah pernah satu kali tu, pesan ttg pakaian. katanya kalau saya keluar, mesti pakai baju yg labuh menutupi peha. tu pesan abah be4 fly dan insya Allah akan saya patuhi selagi hayat di kandung badan...
entah macam mana boleh teringat semua ni kat funderland. rasa bahagia n gembira juga. tu yg menyebabkan funderland pun jadi thrill agaknya. terima kasih umi n abah... terima kasih yg tak terhingga...

SeLaMAt HaRI LaHIr ~ buat ucu Imran
kiranya hari ni genap umur imran 7 tahun. dah 3 tahun berlalu dr umurnya 4 tahun. hmm... waktu imran mula2 membaca buku, membacakan utk kakak2 (kak aeishah dan kakak sendiri) yg masing2 dah berhijrah dari rumah. " father penguin incubates the egg", kakak masih ingat lagi, bila imran betulkan sebutan 'the' kak amani. hmmm.. mmg comel. kakak pun masih ingat lagi masa imran mula2 pakai kain pelikat utk solat dgn abah, imran solat ngelat ; abang apik kata. kakak masih ingt banyak perkara walau dah beberapa tahun berlalu. ni mesti sebab imran ni adik bongsu. kadang2 kak amani selalu marah sebab dia jadi 'bongsu yg tak jadi'.
imran mmg cerdik; selalu org cakap macam tu. kakak pun rasa imran ni cerdik. mungkin sebab nama yg abah dan umi sama2 bagi ; ahmad nabil imran. umi dan abah berebut nak bagi nama sebab imran ni anak bongsu. akhirnya dua2 nama diletakkan. 'nabil' dan 'imran'. nama itu satu doa, dan saban waktu kami mendoakan imran.
kakak harap bila besar nanti imran jadi cerdik pandai, berjiwa pahlawan dan berakhlak terpelihara, juga yg paling penting ; menjadi hamba yg taat pd Allah dan anak yg soleh, Ameen~
krisis intelek dan sikap
krisis intelek dan sikap ; satu pertembungan yg sering berlaku tapi kurang benar diambil perhatian. inteleknya seseorang tapi dgn sikap yg negatif, keintelektualan itu terkabur, malah bawa kesan yg negatif pd orang lain juga.
selepas prog PUISI 06, saya seakan baru tersedar, masalah utama umat islam ketika ini adalah krn sikap. ekonomi, politik dan sosial merundum kerana sikap masyarakat. pengislahan yg sepatutnya menjadi teras pembangunan ummah juga wajarnya dimulakan dgn pembaikan sikap. sebagaimana yg Ust. Hasrizal sebut dlm ceramahnya ; 'presented problem' adalah berbeza dgn 'real problem'. dan saya simpulkan, segala macam gejala buruk yg kelihatan adalah lebih terjurus kpd 'presented problems' dan bukannya 'real problems'. yg mana, jikapun masalah2 ini diselesaikan, kesannya tak akan bertahan lama.
berbalik kpd soal krisis intelek dan sikap; persoalan ni timbul apabila ada antara rakan2 saya (yg mana hampir semuanya dlm kategori intelek krn berjaya buat course 'medic' oversea) merungut dan menyatakan kekesalan menyertai sesetengah program yg bersifat ilmiah atau lebih tepat disebut sbg 'keagamaan' dari persepsi mereka. ada yg kata bhw; 'pengisian terlalu berat' , 'layanan seolah2 kami ni sekolah menengah' dan macam2 lagi. saya ada juga terfikir, mungkin pengisian yg berat merupakan satu kesilapan bg pihak penganjur jika target grup mrk dan fokus mrk dlm program ni adalah dakwah.
tapi, dari sudut lain pula, kawan2 yg saya kenali ini bukanlah dari golongan mrk yg tak tahu. mrk tahu dan faham ttg tajuk ceramah yg diberikan. mereka faham ttg dunia islam dan masih boleh mempersoalkan kenapa umat islam boleh berpecah belah, mereka juga tahu ttg hukum hakam islam, mereka faham ttg kepentingan pembentukan khilafah islam dan banyak lagi yg tak tertulis di sini. mareka tahu tapi tak mahu.
mereka ini golongan intelek tapi sikapnya tak membolehkan keintelektualan itu dimanfaatkan. ada perbincangan yg tercetus rentetan peristiwa2 ini, tapi perbincangan tanpa satu kesimpulan dan resolusi tak membolehkan apa2 tindakan diambil. dalamnya permasalahan ini berpunca dari persoalan dasar; tujuan hidup, sistem nilai dan sikap. bagaimana mahu memulakan langkah ? di mana harus kita bermula ?

mixed reaction over saddam's execution
i posted some of the reactions over saddam's execution, taken from islamonline. thought they might somehow generate our thinking...
Salaam,
This is my personal view, so disregard anything u find offensive which i highly doubt.
I think after so many years of cruel and inhumane dictatorship it was about time Saddams regime collapsed and he was tried against all forms of cruelty to humanity, such as the atrocious act of gasing the kurds in Halabja. Although the Iraqi people were responsible for his execution, i think it was to an extreme extent stirred by the United Nations, the invasion of the coalition forces etc. I wont go any further into that.
The execution Saddam Hussain had served did not bring any form of justification to the mass murders he ordered under his rule of presidency and during the major battle in 1988. Killing him in such an instance will not bring peace amongst the shites and sunnis and neither will it bring back anyones loved ones that were killed during his regime.
Furthermore, if we look deeply into this matter, we do not have a clue about exactly how Saddam was treated during his court trials, infact we do not know what questions were asked or answered. Since his capture, the media has concealed alot of things that the public have not been shown, for example the complete judiciary procedure. We have not heard enough from Saddams side, which was unfair and unjust.
With full honesty i really think Saddam deserved a prison sentence, killing off a cruel wicked man has only made them look the same, pretty much on his level. If death equals death then this world will never see peace, only continuous bloodbaths and the rule of unjust tyrannies. Saddam has just been made 'history', nothing else. I wonder if Milosevic would have been given the death sentence if he had not died? Infact i would like to see Bush also serve the same punishment for all his 'crimes against humanity'. What an ignorant world we live in. The outcome of this is not Peace and Unity amongst the tribes or nations of Iraq. The US have not finished what they have started, we are yet to see alot more bloodshed, until then people should continue praying for democracy which may never exist.
I pray for my brothers and sisters. Allah knows best.

No. As simple as it could be No: Saddam death is not the answer.
It is not the magic key that turns Iraq from a hell to a paradise.
The issue is bigger than Saddam...
They message Arab and those who stand before their face
So let's wait and watch to where their wise decisions will take the poor people who are under them
It is sufficient here to only write Mr. Presdient's comment right after the execution, he said :" After all , this is the guy who tried to kill my dad"
Many thanks to our wise politicians!!! and we are waiting to see who is the next?!
PRESS RELEASE:
SADDAM’S EXECUTION: INVITATION TO MILITANCY
The execution of Saddam Hussain, former Iraqi President, did not come as a surprise because we have noticed since the advent of America in Iraq that Saddam could not get a fair trial. We recall the incessant harassment of the defence lawyers and the latter’s several complaints. Saddam’s execution was too speedy, too harsh, too barbaric. The whole world could see the remote control button as it was pressed from the White House.
The timing of the execution is embarrassing for Muslims all over the world. We were offered Saddam’s neck for Id Al-Kabir ram. America still does not understand the Muslims and has little respect for them. MURIC is not inclined to blame the puppet regime of Al-Maliki or his kangaroo court.
While we affirm that Saddam was never a keen Islamist and he had no dream of a Pan-Islamica during his reign, he was able to hold Iraq together in spite of that country’s diversifications. We call attention to the hully-bully being witnessed in the city of Baghdad and the topsy-turvy in places like Barquba and Tikrit.
Neither the majority Shiites nor the American invaders have learnt its lesson in Iraq. What Iraq needs is true reconciliation based on genuine spirit of forgiveness on both sides. Saddam’s execution has messed up that chance and Iraq will never be the same again. The Shiite majority status is too slim for them to expect to silence the minority Sunnis. They have failed to do that in the past three years and Saddam’s execution is going to militarize the average moderate Sunni.
Finally, MURIC asserts that by stylishly executing Saddam Hussain, his enemies have inadvertently turned him to a hero who will live forever in the hearts of his admirers throughout the world. Saddam's enemies have turned him into a martyr.

I have surprisingly mixed emotions ofthe execution,
I am a Christian and am quite young and do not quite understand the ways of the world as i'm sure no one does. I understand that perhaps it would be dangerous to keep this man alive as he was incredibly verocious and dangerous...i do believe that God can forgive someone but it's difficult for us to judge as we do not know the heart or mind of this seemingly cruel hearted man... I've no idea as all i;ve heard is influenced y the media.. I have watched the video and i cried watching it...
I wonder what he was thinking at the time.. i wonder how mixed and incredibly confusing the emotions of his family were... I can't findthe words to describe what i feel about this event. but i do think that it's extremely important that no more people die over this situation...
The world is in such a mess, i wish Christians and Muslims would work together to understand eachother.
Salaam,
This is my personal view, so disregard anything u find offensive which i highly doubt.
I think after so many years of cruel and inhumane dictatorship it was about time Saddams regime collapsed and he was tried against all forms of cruelty to humanity, such as the atrocious act of gasing the kurds in Halabja. Although the Iraqi people were responsible for his execution, i think it was to an extreme extent stirred by the United Nations, the invasion of the coalition forces etc. I wont go any further into that.
The execution Saddam Hussain had served did not bring any form of justification to the mass murders he ordered under his rule of presidency and during the major battle in 1988. Killing him in such an instance will not bring peace amongst the shites and sunnis and neither will it bring back anyones loved ones that were killed during his regime.
Furthermore, if we look deeply into this matter, we do not have a clue about exactly how Saddam was treated during his court trials, infact we do not know what questions were asked or answered. Since his capture, the media has concealed alot of things that the public have not been shown, for example the complete judiciary procedure. We have not heard enough from Saddams side, which was unfair and unjust.

Saddam- matinya di tali gantung boneka seteru Islam
bismillah,
dah 2 hari selepas kematian saddam. hari ni hari ke-3 eid Adha. mungkin di ireland, sambutan eidul Adha tak sehebat di kampung halaman, menyebabkan saya punya lebih byk masa utk berfikir. dan isu yg tak dpt saya lupakan lewat waktu2 ini adalah ttg saddam dan somalia. rasanya ini isu yg agak hangat bg dunia islam buat masa2 ini di samping isu2 pembunuhan2 kejam di seluruh tanah air muslim yg tak berkesudahan. dalam pada saya mengeji perbuatan2 saddam di zaman diktatornya( mengikut perspektif musuh islam, us) tapi masih terdetik di hati saya ttg silapnya dia adalah krn pernah dulu menjadi boneka us sendiri. rasanya bencinya saya pada dia tak sampai ke tahap utk saya gembira atas kematiannya. malah saya sedikit terkesan dgn lafaz2 akhirnya sblm di gantung. matinya saddam tidak membawa satu pembaikan yg besar pd muslim malah itu lebih lagi menggambarkan kepincangan kesatuan kita. mana tidaknya, dia dihukum oleh mereka yg membawanya naik ketika dahulu dan menjatuhkannya kemudiannya. adakah kita muslim terlalu buta hati utk menilai dan mentafsir ?
di bawa ni sebahagian dr artikel ust. Hasrizal yg saya petik;
BERAKHIRNYA SEORANG SADDAM
Saddam bakal digantung dua jam lagi!
Sukar untuk saya mengulas. Siapa tidak tahu dosa Saddam. Siapa tidak letih membilang mangsa kejahatan tangannya.
Tetapi Iraq lebih derita selepas Saddam jatuh. Saddam naik kerana Amerika, Saddam dijatuhkan oleh tangan yang menaikkannya. Untuk Saddam dihukum, dia patut dihukum. Seperti majoriti pemimpin di era Mulkun Jabriyyah ini. Namun untuk Saddam dihukum oleh Amerika Syarikat, Britain dan sekutunya, jiwa saya panas.
Jika Saddam digantung kerana membunuh ratusan atau ribuan nyawa yang tidak bersalah di mata demokrasi George Bush dan Tony Blair, maka George Bush dan Tony Blair juga lebih mesti digantung kerana menjadi punca ribuan, puluhan ribu atau mungkin ratusan ribu mangsa polisi kedua-dua penjenayah kemanusiaan ini. Saya yakin Saddam akan mati dengan penuh wibawa.
Saya berharap, semua pejuang Islam dapat belajar bersungguh-sungguh dari peristiwa Iraq ini. Mereka yang berfahaman inqilabi tanpa mengenal tadarruj akan lebih rasional dalam mengemukakan teori perolehan kuasa masing-masing. Kaedah Thalab al-Nusrah yang dicadangkan oleh Hizb al-Tahrir harus realistik terhadap realiti manusia. Bukan mudah mengurus dan memimpin manusia, khususnya yang keras seperti bangsa Iraq.
Bagi mereka yang lebih selesa menyokong polisi Arab Saudi yang pro Amerika, tetapi dalam masa yang sama melontar idea-idea siasah picisan kepada gerakan Islam yang sama berjuang di medan amal Islami, segeralah sedar kepada apa sebenarnya lagu politik dunia hari ini. Lagu pukau ini tidak mudah dihentikan dengan idea-idea pengurusan manusia yang retorik lagi permukaan.
Penggantungan Saddam juga memaksa saya untuk teringat kepada konspirasi jahat antara kerajaan Safavid dan Portugis. Hampir mustahil untuk saya tidak mengaitkan semua penjajahan di sepanjang sejarah Islam, melainkan adanya tangan Syiah yang khianat. Ketika perasaan saya berkecamuk terhadap Amerika Syarikat dan Britain, saya membenci peri laku Syiah di Iraq dan sekutu mereka di mana-mana.
Apakah kematian Saddam bakal disambut sebagai kemenangan oleh puak Syiah? Untuk Saddam menjadi pejuang Sunni, saya serahkan ia kepada Allah. Namun kegembiraan puak Syiah di atas kematian beliau, saya hampir pasti.

facts r facts.theories r theories. evolution?
ada beberapa debate yg berlaku dlm grup PBL kami ttg evolution, esp teori Darwin. even mat saleh skrg pun akan bangkang idea ni. logiknya pada akal; mmg tak dpt dicerna. dan byk lagi isu ttg evolution yg timbul, menarik, tapi mmg tak ada kesudahan jika berdebat tanpa landasan iman. juga tlh timbul satu kekeliruan yg akhirnya menjadi joke bg kami stud muslim kat sini. hmmm.. manusia terevolusi dari kuda, kami yg mendengarnya cuma mampu beristighfar...
kat bawah ni ada satu quote yg agak best juga utk dipertimbangkan. dah lupa dari mana diambilnya;
Well evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome.
as a muslim, we go back to the basic , refer to the holy Quran

revision over my views -December 31 2005
I’m continuing my reading today and I’ve encountered new perspectives over a few things. I’ve got the feeling that I am myself not being fair in my judgments and views. I am too bias on the side that I think is right when the fact is that there are always two sides of everything. Referring to what I’ve written on the biography of Robert F. Kennedy, yes, to me he was still one of the charismatic man in American history. His family background was still considered as remarkable to me. But that is my point of view merely as an observer. He was great in the sense that he had passion for justice (as he understood it) , the way he stood for what he believed , the path that he had taken when he was young and the fact that he was an ordinary youth in his time but he rose against the odds to be what American considered as ‘might have been this century’s greatest presidency’. if it would ever be…
I like the fact that his father, Joseph Kennedy was definitely against the world war. He laughed at the idea of America as the police of the world. No, he didn’t laugh like what we do at Senario’s stupid jokes. They were intellectual’s remarks and laughs which were different. I’m not going to talk about this as I am myself not good at political history but let just conclude that he was one of those rare 1940’s people that believe in peace as a way out of problems. However I am quite annoyed knowing that they sympathized with Jews and that the young Kennedy saw the uprising of Jews in Palestine as something positive and should be followed by Jews oppressed by Nazi. It was an opinion anybody with brain would do at the moment. After all, he wasn’t a Muslim. How could he think otherwise? Our hatred towards jews nowadays is mostly because we are Muslims and that they are terrorizing our brothers and sisters in Palestine. I don’t see reason for me to comment on this. It will not bring justice to both sides (Kennedy’s and our’s).
There is a quotation from Joseph Kennedy that I would like to share. It is thought provoking as I feel it is; “we cannot dominate the world, but we can make ourselves too expensive to conquer. War at any time would be hideous. At present or in the foreseeable future war would wreck our present civilization”. it was the words of a civilized person , I would say. Not like bush or Blair, for sure.

~muhasabah diri~buat daie'
bismillah,
sedikit renungan buat diri saya sendiri dan sahabt2 juga mungkin. bila saya terbaca satu artikel ttg daie'2 yg 'penat', saya terfikir sendiri ttg masa depan. apakah yg mungkin ada pd masa depan itu ? adakah mungkin saya termasuk dlm kategori mereka2 yg penat itu? ya Allah, peliharalah jiwa, iman dan semangat kami semua.
(dari saifulislam; yahoo group)
Iman itu naik turun. Akidah itu malar (tetap). Jadilah iman bertunjangkan TAUHID sepertimana firman Allah dalam surah Ali Imran ayat 191 bermaskud " Orang-orang yang menyebut dan mengingati Allah semasa mereka berdiri dan duduk dan semasa mereka berbaring mengiring, dan mereka pula memikirkan tentang kejadian langit dan bumi (sambil berkata): Wahai Tuhan kami, tidaklah Engkau jadikan benda-benda ini dengan sia-sia, MAHA Suci Engkau, maka peliharalah kami dari azab neraka"Daie-daie Yang PenatDalam satu majlis, saya telah dijemput untuk menyampaikan kata-kata penutup kepada ratusan belia lelaki dan perempuan yang usianya sekitar 20–22 tahun. Saya tidak dapat gambarkan ketika itu betapa gembiranya hati ini kerana melihat masih ramai lagi anak-anak muda yang mempunyai kecintaan kepada agama dan sentiasa berjuang menyebarkan fikrah kepada generasi muda yang lain. Mungkin agaknya kerana saya banyak bergaul dengan golongan belia yang sudah hilang nilai-nilai murni agama menyebabkan saya agak tergamam dengan suasana yang ada di hadapan ketika itu. Namun di dalam hati kecil, saya ada perasaan bimbang tentang masa hadapan mereka 15 atau 20 tahun akan datang. Mampukah bilangan yang mencapai angka 200 orang ini kekal di dalam kancah dakwah atau gugur di tengah jalan ? Ini persoalan yang saya tidak ada jawapan dan tidak berani memberi apa-apa jawapan. Pengalaman peribadi menyaksikan bagaimana begitu ramai da'ie-da'ie yang ketika awal dakwah begitu bersemangat, berkorban siang dan malam, menginfaq harta yang banyak, bibir sentiasa berzikir, fikiran sentiasa berfikir, yang menjadi idola ramai rakan dakwah yang lain. Kini ramai diantara mereka sudah menghilang diri dari persada dakwah. Kadang-kadang saya rasa bingung tentang kenapa perkara ini terjadi? Dimanakah silapnya tarbiyah yang dilalui ? Suara-suara yang dahulunya mampu menghidupkan hati-hati yang mati, menyegarkan mata yang layu, membakarkan semangat yang hampir pudar kini sudah hilang di arus duniawi yang kian sepi. Mereka adalah da'ie-da'ie yang telah penat. Sekali-sekala, semasa saya duduk bersendirian, saya merasa amat sedih mengingatkan akan nasib teman-teman seperjuangan ini terutama apabila membaca ayat Allah swt:"...dan jika kamu berpaling niscaya Dia akan menggantikan (kamu) dengan kaum yang lain, dan mereka tidak akan seperti kamu (ini)" – (47:38)Kebanyakkan mereka bukanlah orang biasa malah mereka memegang kepimpinan, pencetus kepada kerja-kerja dakwah. Hidup mereka sentiasa di jalanan, hanya pulang ke rumah untuk berehat seketika, kadangkala tidur pun di dalam kenderaan. Sungguh mengkagumkan.Saya cuba memikirkan, apakah punca kepada keletihan da'ie-da'ie ini? Saya imbau kembali detik-detik perjalanan dakwah satu persatu, tahun ke tahun, peristiwa demi peristiwa, lalu saya merasakan saya sudah berjumpa dengan jawapannya! Mereka terlalu sibuk mendidik orang lain sehingga mereka lupa untuk mendidik diri sendiri.Mereka jarang merenung diri, mereka tidak pernah beruzlah dan berzikir, mereka lupa untuk menghisab amalan sendiri. Kalaupun mereka lakukan, ia bukan dibuat dengan penuh kesungguhan. Keghairahan mereka untuk berdakwah tidak setimpal dengan bekalan rohani yang ada. Akhirnya mereka kecundang dengan suasana persekitaran.Mereka tidak dapat bertahan dengan tuntutan kerja yang semakin menekan, tangisan keluarga yang ingin kerehatan, kehendak peribadi yang tidak pernah kehabisan. Tidak kurang juga mereka yang mempunyai semangat terlalu tinggi dan ghairah untuk mencapai natijah yang cepat hingga mereka mencari jalan yang lain. Mereka bukan tidak faham tetapi mereka hilang kekuatan. Mereka sudah penat. Pengalaman menunjukkan, untuk menghidupkan kembali da'ie-da'ie ini bukanlah satu perkara yang senang apatah lagi mereka ini diistilahkan sebagai "senior" didalam kancah perjuangan. Mudah-mudahan Allah memberikan petunjuk kepada mereka dan memberikan keampunanNya terhadap "jasa-jasa" yang telah mereka curahkan di dalam dakwah. Tiada mereka tiadalah generasi baru hari ini. Kini terus terang saya katakan, apabila saya mendengar ramai da'ie pemuda dan pemudi hari ini begitu sibuk siang dan malam berdakwah sehingga sangat susah untuk cari masa kelapangan, saya tidak lagi kagum seperti dahulu. Ini bukan bermakna saya tidak menghormati mereka malah saya sentiasa berdoa akan kesejahteraan mereka. Mudah-mudahan dakwah akan terus melahirkan manusia-manusia seperti ini. Namun saya ingin memberi peringatan yang keras kepada da'ie-da'ie ini supaya kesibukan saudara jangan sesekali menyebabkan saudara melupai diri sendiri. Perjalanan dakwah ini jauh, rintangannya sangat besar yang mana kadang-kadang dia diluar kawalan kita. Ini semua memerlukan nafas yang sangat panjang, ketahanan diri yang tinggi, persediaan rohani yang mantap serta kefahaman yang jelas. Ingat, Allah tidak akan jemu terhadap hamba-hambaNya tetapi hambaNyalah yang selalu jemu di dalam beribadah. Jangan tertipu dengan aktiviti yang banyak tetapi sebaliknya nilailah setiap aktiviti itu secara tenang dan objektif, mengukur pencapaiannya baik dari segi ilmiah juga peningkatan hubungan saudara dengan Allah. Jika ianya positif maka bersyukurlah tetapi jika sebaliknya maka beristighfarlah dan perbaikilah segera. Saya teringat kata-kata Imam Al Ghazali tentang bagaimana syaitan menggoda orang-orang yang kuat beribadat. Jika gagal menghalang, syaitan akan menyuruh abid itu memperbanyakkan lagi ibadat lalu akhirnya dia merasa bangga dan mula memperkecilkan orang lain yang kurang ibadat! Lalu mereka tejerumus dalam perangkap syaitan.Moga-moga Allah melindungi da'ie-da'ie ini.

Dalam AlQuran m’ikut pendapat para mufassirin spt at Tabari, Ibn Kathir dan ibn Abbas ‘bertasbihlah’ membawa makna umum. Apa2 saja yg dikaitkan dgn ibadah dan dzikir pd Allah adalah terangkum dlm perkataan ‘bertasbihlah…’
Hadith yg Nabi s.a.w pernah sebut dlm sahih Bukhari , s . Muslim dan musnad Ahmad ; diantara banyak2 tasbih , yg paling Nabi gemar adalah ISTIGHFAR .. diikuti lafAz tahlil ( LAILAHAILLALLAH) dan tasbih ( SUBHANALLAH).
This might be d best thing that I wud be able to offer as a friend ;
Got this from a friend in UM , jazakallah

Pesan Terakhir (Sajak oleh Syed Qutb)
Sahabat…
Andainya kematian kau tangisi
Pusara kau siram dengan air matamu
Maka diatas tulang belulangku yang dah luluh
Nyalakaniah obor untuk umat ini
Dan
Lanjutkanlah gerak merebut kemenangan
Sahabat,
Kematianku hanyalah suatu perjalanan
Memenuhi panggilan kekasih yang merindu
Taman-taman indah disyurga Tuhan
Terhampar menanti
Burung-burungnya berpesta menyambutku
Dan berbahagialah hidupku di sana
Sahabat,
Puaka kegelapan pastikan lebur
Fajarkan menyingsing
Dan alam ini kan disinari cahaya lagi
Relakan lah rohku terbang menjelang rindunya
Jangan gentar berkelana ke alam abadi
Di sana cahaya fajar memancar.

"Few will have the greatness to bend history; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation ... It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is thus shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." -Robert F. Kennedy-

A Muslim women…tries to make people happy =P
The Muslim women is keen, in her conversations with other women, to bring happiness to them and make them feel cheerful and lively by means of the good news and pleasant jokes that she tells them. Making people happy, within the framework of that which is permitted, is an Islamic duty that is strongly encouraged, so that the environment of the believers, men and women, may be filled with friendliness, happiness and joy, ready to undertake serious work and the sacrifices and difficulties that it entails.
For this reason Islam tells us that the reward of one who makes Muslims happy will be the greater happiness that Allah will bestow upon him on the Day of Resurrection:
“Whoever meets his Muslim brother and makes him happy with something that Allah likes, Allah will make him happy on the Day of Resurrection”
The clever Muslim woman will find different ways to make her sisters happy in ways that are permitted- a warm greeting, a kind word, a clever comment, a pleasant joke, a good news, a friendly smile, a sincere visit, a charming gift, always keep in touch, sincere help, comforting consolation- which will open their hearts, sow the seeds of love and strengthen the ties of friendship and sisterhood.

Upon us now are the best ten days of the year. There are no other days more rewarded than these ten. They are the first ten days of the Islamic month Dhul-Hijjah. Unfortunately many of us do not know and let them fly by ... If there was some great sale advertising ridiculously low prices you will find many of us there waiting in long lines just to get such great deals. Well we should all hurry to catch this great sale that Allah is advertising. “It’s all come, all served!”The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “ No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on these days.” His companions asked “ Not even Jihad in the way of Allah?” He said: “Not even jihad, except for the man who puts his life and wealth in danger and returns with neither.” (1)Subhanallah, how merciful is our Lord. So what can we do? One could read Quran, read things to increase our Iman, help our Muslim neighbor, give charity (even a smile is charity), volunteer at our masjid, fast, dhikr (remembering Allah), etc…The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “There are no days more loved to Allah for you to worship Him therein than the ten days of Dhul-Hijja. Fasting any day during it is equivalent to fasting one year and to offer salatul Tahajud (late night prayer) during one of its nights is like performing the late night prayer on (Lilatulqadr) the night of power” (2)So if we can why not at least try to fast one day during these days so we would have one year fasting on our bank records towards the purchase of the next life.Ibn Abbas said that the ayah: “Remember Allah during the well known days,”(2:203) refers to the first ten days of Dhul-Hijja.We should say Allahuakbar (Allah is great), Alhamdulillah (all praises is due to Allah), Laillhaillallah (there is no deity but Allah), etc. This is what the Prophet (peace be upon him) told us to do during these days. That’s not too much to ask from us and it is only for our own benefit. On the ninth day it will be the day of Arafat. We should all try to fast this day because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “It is an expiation for the sins of the preceding year and the current year.” (3)Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters in Islam, please do not let these days go by without getting on line for this great bargain that Allah the most high is giving away to all that come. May Allah forgive us all and have mercy on us all.
