Alhamdulillah buat para sahabat yang membaca entri ini, sedar atau tidak sekali lagi bulan mulia Ramadhan Kareem kembali menemui kita. Masih ada 5hari lagi sebelum Ramadhan menemui kita tapi insyaALLAH, kita sama-sama doakan kita dapat menemuinya walaupun sehari. Justeru, perkara yang perlu ditanya pada diri, adalah sudahkah kita bersedia menemui bulan mulia Ramadhan ini? Jikalau kita sentiasa boleh menyambut 'New Year' dengan konsert, arak dan mercun, sambut Merdeka dengan pesta maksiat, sudahkah pula kita kuatkan iman kita untuk Ramadhan ini?

Sudah setahun hidup kita dikotori dan dihitamkan dengan pelbagai dosa. Ibarat Hajarul Aswad, yang asalnya putih kini hitam kerana dicemari dengan dosa-dosa manusia. Hati seperti organ-organ lain dalam diri perlu rehat dan dibersihkan. Bila lagi kita mahu melakukannya kalau bukan pada bulan Ramadhan yang mulia ini? Sesungguhnya ALLAH sayangkan kita dan memudahkan beban kita dengan menggari Syaitan buat sebulan pada setiap Ramadhan, melipatgandakan BONUS pahala, serta tidak lupa mengadakan Malam Lailatul Qadar di bulan ini. Musuh kita hanya tinggal nafsu diri sendiri.Tidak mahukah kita dengan pahala MUDAH dan PERCUMA ini?

Selain itu, pasti tidak lupa juga melihat telatah anak-anak kecil yang dilatih berpuasa pada Ramadhan ini. Bangun pagi pada waktu sahur dan kepenatan sepanjang hari kerana tidak makan. Telatah dan gelagat lucu mereka pasti akan membuat kita tersnyum riang dan ketawa keriangan. Akan membawa kita tentang kita sepertimana kita berpuasa tatkala kita kecil satu ketika dahulu:)

Buat keluarga tersayang dan sahabat sekalian, marilah kita lapangkan dada dan sambut dengan tangan yang terbuka kedatangan Ramadhan ini. Kejarlah segala BONUS di bulan ini dengan melipatgandakan amalan kita. Perbanyakkan solat sunat, membaca Quran dan teruskanlah ia sehingga ke Ramadhan seterusnya. Selamat Beribadah dan semoga semua amalakn kita diterima olehNYA:)

Salam Ramadhan:)

The Aging Root: A nation with a lost culture

Assalamualaikum wbt..

It had been a while since i wrote anything here, especially in english. Yet, it does not mean I had forgotten this blog. If we do not use something or say something frequently, it does not mean we had forgotten something. But least do we know, it is the first step in leaving it behind and making it a history put in a glass box in a dull museum.

Recently, I had came across a chinese written cheque and had asked a chincese friend to read it for me. Yet, a surprised answer came to me as she cannot read chinese. That same time I remembered an Indian friend who cannot write nor read Tamil. It also triggered to me on how many of my friends can actually write and understand JAWI, a Malay arabic writing that was used since the 15th century until the early 19th centuries before the arrival of the British.

It comes to my mind how pathetic we are today. We had forgotten our roots and

legacy passed by generations. The roots are aging and getting rotten and forgotten. Today, we are busy going for the future and we are tend to forgotten the past. Indeed, so

we might argue that we are still using the culture in ceremonies such as wedding ceremonies but my question is, how long? It used to be a daily life activity, then it became as functions and ceremonies and in the future, in the history museum.

Once, our former Prime Minister Dr Mahathir had tried to implement an idea called "pandang ke timur" (look at the East). He was trying to copy Japan. Japan is a country that is very advance in technology. From the fastest train to the latest gaming software, they have it all. Yet, they had never forgotten their culture and heritage that until today, it is a part of their daily life. Lets ask ourselves Malaysians, is our culture a part of our life? I doubted it.

Asia is a continent very famous with culture. Almost every country in the continent has their own culture and it is unique from one to another. It is a continent full of heritage and culture and not to mention fill with uniqueness. Yet, today, the Western is getting into our head and tend to make it cool with their Western culture which is being followed by teenagers all around the world. If one day, our culture is lost, we tend to point fingers at the West but inside, it is us that needs to be blame.

Our culture is our symbol and that is what make us unique. Make it a part of our life as our culture, represents who we are and we are Malaysians. Prove to the world we are a country proud of our culture and heritage and prove that

Malaysia is truly Asia.....

Unity in Tragedy

With the name of Allah the Most Beneficent and Most Merciful,

The tsunami that had struct Japan recently and had caused thousands of death while thousands more were left unknown. With a scale 9.0 ritcher, it is considered to be one of the worse natural disaster in the world and the worse in Japan in approximately 100years.

It is not a secret anymore that the world is in total danger. In 2004, tsunami struct Acheh Indonesia killing around 400thousand people. In 2007, A thunderstorm of Katrina struct America. In 2010, Haiti was cursed by mother nature of a nasty earthquake killing hundreds of thousands of people. In 2011, Japan was struct by earthquake, tsunami and radiation.

These natural disaster is becoming more and more normal as time goes on. As so much humans want to prevent it with their great technologies, not even Japan and America survive the power of God. No matter how many times we try, if God wants it to happen, the power of even all the humans combine cannot do nothing with the wrath of God.

Yet, in every cloud there will always be a silver lining.

It is during these natural disaster we can see human help each other. Nowadays, live is regarded as a competition. Nations fight of who is the best empire, even bigger than the Roman Empire. Religions had never been more important and its no longer sacred but people had used it as a medium of war and reasons for killing. The spirit of races and tribes had never been stronger and every tribes want to show their pride.

The world that we live in today is nothing more than a world full with cold blooded,heartless and brainless, blood thirsty killing animals and savages. Men these days should be ashamed to call themselves humans. If the prophet Muhammad SAW, Jesus and Buddha were to live today, they will be shocked with the world today and things that were done under their names.

We are living in a world without unity and only these natural disasters will bring us as one. People from all around the world comes regardless of their religion, nation and race in order to help each other. It is the only medium in bringing the people together, bringing us a glimpse of hope of humanity. It is a proof that humanity has yet to be lost. There is still hope of humanity and hope of bringing peace to this world.

This natural disaster should be a lessen to the world to unite together and be less selfish. Yet, how does we need human sacrifices in order to unite as one? How long will these sufferings continue until the reemergence of peace? Yes, there is hope but when will this hope turn into a reality?

I wish the Japanese my deepest regret. I hope that Japan will one day rise again as strong nation and the world will follow and unite as one.

TOGETHER WE RISE AS ONE

HUMAN WILL DIE BUT HOPE WILL LAST FOREVER

Changing the World

With the name of Allah the Most Beneficent and Most Merciful,

Quote of the day:

"One man is not enough to change the world, but one man is enough to inspire the world to change" Riz Zaidi (2010)

We always heard that there is one man who wanted to change the world when he/she grew up. Yet, when he/she's ambition were told to the world, the normal reply he/she would get would be

WHAT!! YOU WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD??? IMPOSSIBLE! YOU CANT DO IT ALONE! DONT EVEN DREAM ABOUT IT.

Negative isnt it.. Hmm... To me these people who said that never learn history had they. Martin Lurther King Jr, Mahatma Gandhi, Tunku Abdul Rahman, they wanted to change the world and they manage to do it, a prove it is not impossible. These people inspire the world to change and get freedom using peace rather than violence.

These are just some of the example. There are others outside that I had not put the names in here.

So, is it really impossible to change the world?

The answer, is within yourself.. You decide:)

Ramadhan is the month of Barakah

With the name of Allah the Most Beneficent and Most Merciful,

Alhamdulillah, Ramadhan Al-Mubarak had once again return to us. Its been quite a while since weve met and alhamdulillah, again I was given the chance to celebrate Ramadhan.
As usual, the first night of Ramadhan, the mosque is full with people. Its kind of fun to see it. hearing the voices of kids crying, running and playing, hearing to the firecrackers and also the sight of people running to the mosque. The mosque felt as if I was in Mecca eventhough I am actually in Malaysia. The sight of seeing the mosque full with people at night is a rare sight. Not something that can be seen in other days of the year. Yet, how long will this remain?
Yes, many people know Ramadhan is the month of Barakah. Many people not just Muslims but also non-muslims learns many things during the ramadhan. But after Ramadhan, what happened? As soon as the azan was heard to end the 30th day of Ramadhan and the beginning of Syawal, what the things learnt during the Ramadhan are forgottean as if they never existed. The spirit of Ramadhan suddenly dissapear in thin air.
Its not something that i am suppose to say in the beginning of Ramadhan but this is reality. I smiled and almost cried seeing so many people in the mosque. Alhamdulillah. But after a week, the number will get lesser and lesser. Where are the people? Maybe to tired or worse, bored of Ramadhan. Just some hypocrites who waned to show their faces in the early stages of Ramadhan.
The ummah is getting worse everyday and it is up to us to stop the decay of the ummah.Think about it. Dont change tomorrow but change NOW!

Happy Ramadhan:)

Raise Your Confidence!

Assalamualaikum w.b.t
peace be upon you.

Nowadays, the world are more challenging than ever before and it is getting more and more challenging. There are many challengers in this world and the number are increasing rapidly. People all around the globe faces new challenges everyday. Due to these challenges, sometimes it gives fear to the people and might lower the people self confidence and self esteem.

Thus, many people who called themselves expert were born and was said can RAISE the confidence of the people. Many bizarre methods were created but o me, the most bizarre method of all would be in India that I just read about 15minutes ago. It shocked me so much that came to my mind that I must write it in this blog and share it with all.

On April 22, Utusan Malaysia reported that a school in India had forced student to walk on a hot coal and broken glasses. Reason? It was reported that it to raise the confidence of the student. The school taht is located in West India had done it to approximate 190 students, 110 walking on hot coal and the other 80 on broken glasses. One of the representative states that at first the objective is to raise confidence of the student by removing their fear. It was done 190 pupil aged 9-14 and no one had ever gotten hurt.

A question comes to my mind. What if suddenly the student get hurt? What will happen then? Walking on a coal is similar in determining whether a person is guilty or not as well as a kind of punishment for criminals in England in the 12th Century. These children are on 9-14 and they have to endure the same thing as criminals in the 12th century were facing. To add icing to the cake, the school claim it was a way to increase CONFIDENCE!

To me this is ridiculous and it must be put to a stop before anything happen to these young people who have bright future ahead of them.
