Migration: Current Challenges to Nations

Assalaamu'alaikum wa rahmatullah

Now we continue the third and final series of the lecture about migration in conjunction to Hijrah New Year 1433. The previous series could be accessed in Migration: Knowledge is the Light. According to Ustad Roslan Chik Ros, a scholar had once listed down based from the Quran and Sunnah on what are the obstacles which prevent a faithful servant of the God to be an obedient and a good servant?

1. Evil Desires and Lust   

In Arabic, we call desire and lust with the term nafs and it means self as human possess various selves in him. We had talked a lot about many bad things. Human who fails to educate this enemy (desire and lust) will be in turn being educated and lead by this enemy. It will lead human into destruction. 

The book Durat al-Nasihin mentions that the God has created the desire and later asked it. Who are you and Who am I?! It answers Him: I am as I am, and You are You! It means that the desire does not want to admit itself as His creation and servant. It has no gratitude and never feels enough. The God cast it into the hell of torment for 300 years. When he was brought out, the God asked it again. And it still answers the same. The God then cast him again for another 300 years. After that, he was brought out again. The God asked it again. And the desire admitted that it is His a servant of the God.

The goodness which could not penetrate into our selves was caused by this obstacle which is the evil desire. There is no struggle which is as great as the struggle to fight the evil desire as it is the root for various desires and which also brings war in this world. When the desire becomes younger and younger but our physical body becomes older each time we reach the year. If we do not bring the desire into what He is pleased with, thus there will be no changes in the society and nations.

2. The World 

The World or duniya in Arabic refers to anything which we can see in this world with our physical eyes and we can touch them. On the other hand, it also refers to materialism. In Islam, the matters which we sought for our necessity to face the life is considered as tools and in the same time those matters are also considered as the fitna (test). The God mentions that property, children and position that we have in our society are all the tests on us. Those who fail to reckon these matters as the tests from the God will sacrifice "Islam". What is the goal of human life? Is it for the stomach (to eat excessively)? Genitals (having sex for never ending lust)? Entertainment and having fun is our goal of life? 

The character and the appearance of the world is luring. She makes people obsessive of her. In the event of Isra' and Mi'raj where the noble prophet Muhammad s.a.w had visited the heavens, he had saw a pretty woman with jewelries all over her. Then he was curious and asked his companion, the noble emissary, archangel Gabriel a.s. Who is that woman? The archangel Gabriel a.s answered, that is the simile of the world. Why the God made the world looks like a pretty woman? What is His message to us? How does a pretty lady looks like at the guys? We are also aware that there is also gay and transvestite communities. But this still applies. The world has her attractions and that is why the male and female must cover the parts which are prescribed in the jurisprudence as should not being exhibited to public. When people wanted to produce advertisement banners for example, they for example might use material and human models. The advertisement for cosmetics might use woman with "sexy" features for example lips, eyes, nose, and etc. The advertisement for obscene magazine perhaps using naked or half-naked male models. The advertisement for alcohol drink might also use woman as the attraction though it is non-related to the beverage, haha. 

This world is indeed fun for those who can't detect her weaknesses and flaws which is harmful for other higher selves. It is not enough until early in the morning that kids hanging around with friends, racing on the motorcycles. Will we be able to face challenges in society today if we had wrongly estimate the world? For example having wives. Human actually feels bored quite in no time. The God had given some loosen up for man to have four wives and practicing polygamous marriage. Because men feels bored with the only wife and preventing them from finding concubines or establishing non-legal relationship with other women. However men are not satisfied and still having boundless desire over the women (world) as an example.

Prophet Muhammad s.a.w mentions that human will never be satisfied even when being given a valley of gold. He is still not satisfied with two valleys of gold and so on. He will only be satisfied when the soul leaving his mass. Money is never enough for human. If we never change our attitude toward the world, how would we be able to face obstacles to change the society and bringing it into His Mercy and Love? We are still being deceived by the worldly affairs. The worldly affairs which brings us toward the goodness and the success in the hereafter is when we assume it as the "field for us to work in reaching Him."

3. Satan: Genies and Devil     

In the Glorious Quran, surah Yaasin, the God mentions about human has an obvious enemy which are the Satans. These creatures are invincible at human physical eyes but they co-exist with human-being and that is why they are known as genies which means hidden creatures. The first genie, who's known as Iblis or Devil has made a promise before Him after he was accursed that he will drag human-being and others into the torment and the curse as he is envious. Envious is madzmumah (evil) characteristics for servants of the God. It brings no benefit to society. These creatures who are evil are classified as satans which means demons and those who are stubborn to submit to Him. Satan also applies to other creatures such as human-being and animals who are evil.

A person who is unable to see the tricks and the motions of Devil will be deceived and fail the tests. The Devil promised to deflect human-being and decorate His commands with lame looking while he decorates His prohibitions until they look interesting. For example, in Malaysia, people love to go for night market while nobody wanted to meditate in the masjid though the masjid has facilities and activities. People would walk around the night market and only ended up buying kacang puteh (garden peas). During the early part of Ramadan, people might influx the masjid until the mosque lose its balance and list. That happens because He had seized all of these hidden creatures so human will use their considerations and minds wisely, not being influenced by evil whispers. However, when it is near to the end of Ramadan, the masjid becomes empty and empty as the blessed month is almost over.

Devil decorates what is illegal and makes it look fun for example the time when a non-married couple is chatting to each other until they forgot the time. They could stare at each others' face for eight hours without stop. But when they are married and are legal to stay together, they feel that it is not fun anymore. The Devil made it opposing each other. When it is illegal, couples would be so fond of each other, perhaps calling each other every minutes. I also see this everywhere, it also includes my first year degree roommate Duwe, hahaha. His girlfriend called him even when he is in the toilet... poopin', hahahaha. If we have no knowledge and forget about this, we would be carried away by the current. No changes.

4. Satan: Human-Being   

We would be spoiled because of fellow human-being. Sometimes, our children who we had properly educated with religious classes, being sent to madarasas, and we taught them with scriptures but still could be found for example illegally racing on the road. Why? It's the influence of friends. Sometimes, a friend who is not good will bring a person into the darkness. 

As for myself, I have to think many times when I wanted to make friend too and this is how I survive until today. I am using my consideration despite I also think like sometimes I wanted to just break out of all the rules or norms in the society and just be like others. When I declared the faith into Buddhism, I still perform the norms and performing strict observance of a shraman (hermit who does not live in monastery) though I just undertake upasaka (layman) vow. This shraman life had also made me in conflict with people around because they don't understand me and I became one because I was treated like a thrash by people around. A shraman is a thrash in people's eyes.

Children, wife, and husband all could be the satan who lead human-being into darkness if they make a person forgets Him and His commandments. So, an immigrant should migrate into obedience to the God. Make sure that we are able to face these four obstacles to migrate to Him and for a better future. We must migrate into humility before Him and not being enslaved by these four matters mentioned by the scholar. If we fail to win them over, our civilization and nations will be in doom. We try to avoid our morality from being defecated and also protecting our Creed from being deflected by these four matters. 

Move the migration toward Faith and Fear to Him may everyone be blessed and all the blessings of the heavens and earth being directed to everyone as what had happened to the blessed prophets and messengers of the God.

Conclusion

Ustad Zamry Haji Kassim calling everyone together to reflect on the topic. The challenges that we are facing today is also could be reflected in the hadith narrated by Abu Dawud. Says the prophet Muhammad s.a.w where in a certain period, the nations of Him will be a target group! Companions feel weird and they asked further. Will we be among the minorities at that time? Muhammad s.a.w answered: No! There are many of you, but you are just like bubbles in the sea. You'll explode when you hit the ship, when the ship hit you too will you explode.  

When we look again at the reality of Muslims in Malaysian Peninsula today. We are not so many. We are challenged in three angles where our Creed has no strong foundation. The Shariat (Way) is not completed and performed well. We take some part of Shariat but we reject the other parts. Morality, dear Lord! In this angle of morality, we view nicely on wrong values of adultery. This applies to all groups who are sex-craved and thinking only genitals twenty four seven. 

We afraid that we will be like what is mentioned in Malay idioms. Melukut di tepi gantang, campak ke tengah halaman tidak dipatuk ayam, dibuang ke sungai tak disudu itik. We repeat again that the mind is filled with knowledge to know. The heart is filled with faith to motivate the move to Him. Facing the four challenges with perseverance to educate desires as to make sure that we are able. The most good property is the property which is managed by a good and pious man. If a pious man managed the property, the benefit is also into piety.

We train our desires to face the challenges in the situation and according to environment. Children, when we study, make sure Islam is with us. Others had far in front of us to recognize A as they know their environment. That is why a professor will send his broken engine to a mechanic to repair it though the mechanic gets no As in his examination. Mechanics know what happens to the engine. Remind ourselves that our intention for everything is for Him. He is our Source and our Base. Hopefully that tomorrow Fajr prayer service would be as crowded as today in the masjid, we can right?!  

a. Mind is filled with knowledge to know

b. Heart is filled with faith to move

c. Desires is trained to be able to face challenges  

May we see again in other opportunities. Pray may we meet again in His paradise the Abode of Peace. May everyone knows each other in the name of our Faith, we see each other because of the God, we say farewell also because of Him. Wish that this lecture (and post) injects some spirit to our souls and to other brethren from Portugal to China, from China to the US.

Jurisprudence : What is Fiqh or Jurisprudence?

Assalaamu'alaikum wa rahmatullah

This is the Chinese or perhaps Sino-Japanese depiction of King Yama. Buddhists always talk about him when it is regarding punishment that a person will get as a way to cleanse up one's karmma. Usually elders will threaten youngers that King Yama will cut our tongue if we tell lies to others as lying will also bring bad karmma. King Yama is a judge and the guardian of hell. Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms in South East Asia also had used Brahminical texts such as Tharmmasastram to derive code of conduct and legislation provisions in the kingdom or anachakra ruled by a king or chakravarttin. One of the law practiced in ancient Buddhist kingdoms such as of ancient Malay kingdoms are like Sulo or impalement to execute a woman who commit adultery or treason against the king.

We have many branches of knowledge and sciences in the studies of religion after the noble prophet Muhammad s.a.w who is our seal of prophethood had returned to His Mercy. One of them is called as Fiqh. 

So, straight to the point, what is Fiqh brethren? Roughly it is a science related to the Islamic jurisprudence. It is an expansion of the code of conduct where we call it as Shariah and expounded from the glorious Quran. Shariah usually is supplemented by the tradition of prophets and we call tradition as Sunnah of prophets. Sunnah of prophets were re-introduced again by the noble prophet Muhammad s.a.w and some came from him according to the period where he live. Shariah which consists of the conducts of life from the sources of Quran and Sunnah then will be implemented through rulings and interpretations of jurists whom we call as Qadhi. 

Sometimes I would also refer to Jesus Christ as a future Qadhi. I will always wait for his arrival and rulings if I do not die yet. It actually signifies the end of the world : ) We already have our own guidelines and we do not need others to teach us especially in our own countries. The God is teaching us with basic rulings and the observance of morality is considered as apart of the prevention of evil and crimes. We don't need secularism or French concepts of looking at this world. French are just human-being and human-being are imperfect. We also don't need Karl Marx to teach us or whatever ideology proposed by these people. Those ideologies are anathematized and not natural. I would translate the word anathematize for my Malaysian compatriots as dilaknat.  We refuse to accept their ideas as they also refused to accept others' ideas. If they perceive others as barbarians, we also perceive them as barbarians. 

我詛咒歐鬼的思想... 他們多數人不接收啟示然後他們學的事沒有天的指導和聖靈... 別人都可以說出來他們的偏見對我們的道,我們的聖人和穆斯林所以我也想嘗試看感覺是怎樣,哈哈哈... 我感覺很蠢...  

Fiqh deals with the observance of rituals, morals and social legislation in Islam. For Orthodox Sunnah Muslims, we have four schools of Fiqh established by four honorable imams which are Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'ie and Hanbali. Our Shi'a Muslim brothers have two major schools of Fiqh inherited from Ja'afar as-Sadiq and Isma'ili Fatimiyya. Those who are trained in this science will be called as Fuqaha' (sing. Faqih). I am following and learning the method of Hanbali and most of brothers in Saudi Arabia are also following Hanbali methods. My brothers in Malaysia, Yemen, Lower Myanmar, Indonesia, and Southern Thailand are following Shafi'ie methods. My brothers in China and India are following Hanafi and those in Northern Africa in general are following Maliki methods. 

Definitions of Jurisprudence

Fiqh literally means the science of something in order to understand something, common sense in it, and the thought for the honor of the science of law as the quote from the glorious Quran where the God mentioned again what the people of Sho'ayb (Jethro) said to Sho'ayb a.s : "They said, o Sho'ayb! We do not understand many of what you had said and we indeed only see you as a weak person in front of us. If not because of your family, we would have thrown you with stones. And you are not respected for us." (Surah Huud verse 91). And the word understand in the verse signifies anything which lead people to think and ponder.

Terminologically, Fiqh means the science on the rulings of the way of leading life, practices, benefits, based from valid and accurate proofs in accordance to the origin of the fiqh or understanding.  

So, basically when newspapers wanted to tell everyone about this, they should also check the books and sources regarding this from the root source and not just from internet googling or by reading something at the surface. Reporters today are just as ignorant and irresponsible as the mat rempits who illegally racing on the road and later banging young bitchy girls if they won the illegal race. Orientalists, they went to study these too but they were also bias. The same thing also happen to some Muslims who just google up this and that about other system of belief or faith or reading certain blog related to some nonsense conspiracy theories which denies the Wisdom of the God the Most Highest. 

My past experience as a "deviant Muslim" boy for few years in my life had also helped me to understand many things and I found that bashing others are just making people mind restless and later it affects the environment around. These kind of people would put some information in their sites or books and they later including their opinions based from their hatred to others, irrationality, unstable emotion or based from their perception game. Nothing is better than whatever they think because the thing which they prefer will eventually come to their favor. They could not propagate anything without telling that others are less better than them. Later others who had never read root sources and sharing the same hatred would also use the points from that and spread it worldwide. Again, these sick people no matter Muslims or non-Muslims need heart and soul purification. They would also easily being affected by diseases and die early I could assure this because not only glorious Quran talked about people who bite their fingers because of baseless anger but also the teachings that I had followed for some times which was Buddhism : )

Regarding science in religion, Ibnu Khaldun in his book Muqaddima (Introduction) had divided science into two branches :

I. Rational ones which have been generated by human intellect. Another one is revelational which is received through revelation and transmitted to others such as what happened to prophets for example the noble prophet Muhammad s.a.w who had received knowledge through revelation and not from studying it in school and he then transmitted it orally to his companions, contemporary, people around him, and later generations.

II. Excludes the use of intellect as far as its reception, reporting, and transmission are concerned. It relates to injunctions of secondary report, derived from usool or origin, calls it into play one's intellect and ability to exercise analogical reasoning. Fiqh is included in this second category. It is a product of later generations since companions of prophet Muhammad s.a.w do not need its formulation into a new branch of science as the law-submitter or the prophet and messenger of the God was still around with them. They may straight away ask the prophet s.a.w for clarification or looking at how he acts when they are not clear on something.

Sources for Legislation Reference

Many people can understand about British Common Law on how the decisions were derived. Whether from past cases as examples for rulings of court or from the jurists decision like some raping cases in the United States. I do watched American short series but I can't remember all of them. Some scene, I still could remember. 

I also learned legal language which involved the Common Law and Tort Law during our translation and interpretation class where one of our lecturer is a Sikh lawyer whose name is Harpal Singh. Well, many students especially girls love him and he is a single guy in the middle age. For me, he is a generous guy who donated a lot to students in order to make class more lively and interactive. I gave all of the food that I get from his class to my roommate, brother Zaydi simply because his father name is Hussein and I want him to be my imam in prayer services in our room. I think he must thought that I was crazy, hahaha. I was also fasting to calm down my mind at that time but I could not waste the food so I just offer them to my roommate and sometimes if I have vegetarian meals I would also offer them to some Hindu friends neighboring my room. At least my acquaintance and friends are healthy and they could save their money, I would be very happy : ) I treated brother Zaydi badly in the beginning simply because he is a Kelantanese and I was also influenced by bad talks of people around. It has to do with misconception and generalization too that we become racist, no? We never have any contact with majority of certain people that we don't really like so we created some negative image for something that we had never experienced. Just get a life and do beneficial things like enhancing amity among human, environment, and animals instead of spreading hatred just because of differences and misconception...

From what I had also learned in our masjids and school for final exam for the course of Islamic Rulings and Legislation, our sources for rulings and details must be obviously come from :  

1. The Glorious Quran.

2. Sunnah or the prophetic traditions and Orthodox Sunnah Muslim have four major methods.

3. Ijma' (agreement) between jurists and ulamas.

4. Qiyyas or common sense for matters which had never happened during prophetic era like smoking which kills others because of the smoke is harmful for human health and environment or rulings regarding the selling of harmful drugs or cracks. It needs human intellectual consideration and jurists need to think or using their head. It also needs researches and evidences.

5. Sources of rulings and legislation from the Ahlul Bayt.     

The Root of Fiqh

What is the root of Fiqh? It refers to methods which had been implied within the derivation of the development of legal provisions of the way from detailed and discreet proofs. On the other hand, the root of Fiqh which places the root or basic methods to develop jurisdiction and legal provisions according to clear Divine guidance and guidelines. The relevance of Fiqh is for jurists to derive legal provisions and rulings with clear evidence in order to implement the execution of nature laws from it.

While for the root of Fiqh, its motive is to to find clear evidence from where emerged the object of evidence on the legal provisions. And each that had been stated from the agreement and consideration based on common sense which falls under the name (of legal opinion) which includes :

1. Plaudits : It is reversing the jurisdiction of the way for example on the provisions on what had been perceived to face is stronger and reversing the jurists.

2. Sent Interests : The meanings or the matters which are linked to the jurisdiction and developed upon it and causing damage or harmful to human society however yet it is always being discussed. 

3. Known to people : It means legal opinions which is based on customs and norms. Custom or norms which is known to people, whatever had been in the character of speech, verbal, their way of thinking, and whatever is accepted and not accepted by the norms of society being repeated until it is accepted by the jurists and there are also other sources to derive opinion on jurisdiction between trained jurists in addition to whatever had already existed in agreement of jurists and various of considerations whether the past or through any other methods proposed by jurists. Sometimes those in India or Pakistan also seeking Brahmin priests to derive law and the effect is that, we can see people without nose or ears because those priests are using Tharmmasastram and Puranas in the derivation of customary law. Media then capture the pics and showing it to lazy people or those who has no feet to come to talk with real people asking this and that.

Ciri-ciri Mencintai Rasul

Assalaamu'alaikum wa Rahmatullah!
  

"Alang-alang dah ter-update blog lusuh ni, ada molek bagi aku teruskan sahaja. Selain tajuk blog ni pon tak sempoi dan nyampah aku tengok sebab berkaitan dengan subjek aku pernah belajarq. Aku tak berasa tringin nak cakap lagi pasai hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan rakan-rakan sekuliah. Depa tak dak signifikan dalam idop wa, wa pon tak dak signifikan ke sapa pon.

Tak laparq aku terlibat dengan mana-mana pihak yang bermusuh atau bersengketa. Creta dia, aku malaih nak teruskan benda yang sia-sia. Lagi bek aku sediakan catatan agama bagi ke diri aku sendiri menuju ke kubuq dan selepas tu ke akhirat. Mana la nak pi tau noh, kita ni tak menungkat langit. Esok-esok tak dan nak kata apa lupppp masuk dalam tempat kotoq yang ada cacin tu mai malaikat bawak rantai sebat muka kita.

Kat sini, aku nak rakamkan pemahaman aku serta perkara yang aku dengar tentang ceramah agama yang disampaikan di Radio Malaysia Pulau Pinang atau Radio Malaysia Kedah, haha. Jadi lepas ni aku ada banyak punca untuk rujuk dan buat muhasabah diri aku sniri selain daripada mempelajari balik perkara-perkara yang aku pernah tertinggal semasa aku sekolah dulu akibat benci aku kat sekeliling. Lawaknya aku sebelum ni malu nak dengar ceramah agama, tapi dalam masa aku balik ke jalan ni pun aku ada disedarkan lagi oleh bekas teman sebilik aku masa tahun dua dulu yakni saudara Zaidi. Aku berterima kasih sangat kat dia dan minta mahap gak kat dia kalu aku ada menyusahkan dia semasa jadi rakan sebilik. Mesti dia meluat kat aku, roommate ni prangai paling terok penah dia jumpa, haha. Aku saja nak test hang jah Zaidi oii, aku bukan saja-saja jahat kat hang. Dok nampak hangpa kat bahagian Mahasiswa Islam aku nak tengok gak la gena cara. Dah test tau la hang memang bek sungguh. Orang 'kapiaq' macam kami memang selalu wat macam tu nak tengok betui ka dak sebelom nak ikot apa-apa pun. Mintak ampun banyak-banyak, aku doa hang mana-mana pun.

Semalam tak silapnya aku dengar ceramah berkenaan ciri-ciri cinta rasul s.a.w. Ceramah ni aku ingat dirakamkan di Masjid Seberang Perai Selatan. Kata Ustad yang aku tak ingat nama dia, bahawasanya Nabi bersabda "tidak sempurna iman seorang itu sehinggalah aku lebih dicintai melebihi ibu-bapanya, anak-anaknya, hartanya, serta sebagainya." Kita (ustad kata bukan aku) ada mendengar lagu yang disampaikan oleh kumpulan nasyid Hijjaz:

Rasulullah dalam mengenang mu, pahit getir, engkau taburkan pengorbanan mu untuk ummat mu yang tercinta, biar terpaksa harungi rintangan.....

Arghhh, haku tak ingat la lirik neh. Aku bukan jenis orang yang dengar nasyid pon. Besa aku dok gelak ja kat adik pompuan aku bila dia nyanyi atau dengar nasyid sebab dia macam ortho sikit. Tapi aku ingat salah gak apa aku buat tu, padan la dok keja kena karmma buruk. Itu pilihan dia, patutnya aku hormat kat minat dia bukan mengutuk. Lagipun minat orang kan macam-macam. Tak boleh lah kita nak paksa orang suruh minat benda yang sama macam kita, ada betui ka?

Kata ustaz lagi, orang jahiliah kata kat nabi macam-macam, songsang, sesat, gila, serta bermacam-macam kata nista seperti yang Allah SWT rakamkan dalam Surah Al-Qalam. Aku ingat nanti kot bleh bukak check. Ada ceramah Dr. Sepora kat Pusat Bahasa. Kesian lak kat dia kalo aku ponteng sebab dia dah susah-susah aturkan benda yang aku serta rakan sekelas tak payah bayar atau buat apa-apa melainkan dengar ja dan bagi sikit maklum balas atau keluarkan soalan kalau tak paham. Lagipun aku hormat sangat kat Dr. Sepora, aku anggap dia macam mak aku gak dan dia selalu cuba nak perbaiki mutu pengajaran. Ringkasan Surah al-Qalam tu ada sebut yang Allah sayang nabi s.a.w.

Semasa khutbah Jumaat juga ada selawat serta ayat Quran yang aku tak ingat Surah apa sebab aku tak hapai lagi surah tu mengatakan yang Allah dan para malaikat berselawat ke atas nabi s.a.w maka kita orang-orang biasa yang hina ni lagi lah kena banyak berselawat ke atas nabi s.a.w.

Selain itu kita perlukan penghayatan juga. Jika ada majlis ilmu atau ceramah keagamaan boleh lah kita dengar. Ku rasa tak mestinya pi mesjid jah, kat dalam bilik dengar radio ka tengok tv pon buleh macam aku dok perati Dr. Rokiah buat masa hari Jumaat masa consultation pukoi 10 tu. Dalam internet pon ada rakaman ceramah kalu dah maju siap boleh muat turun lagi.

Lani kalu ada ceramah bab nak ke akhirat tu jarang la kita jumpa beliawan ka beliawati mai. Aku teringat balik kat bekas teman sebilik aku dulu. Kagum gak aku dan agak terkejut sebab aku nampak ada lagi orang seusia aku yang dalam lingkungan 20-an ni yang dengar ceramah agama. Aku slalu dok ingat orang tua yang tunggu nak mati ja dengar ceramah sebelum ni pasai ramai orang dok kata lagutu. Kalu ada kursus uruskan jenazah yang diaturkan untuk golongan belia pon tak ramai la yang pi. Yang ni masuk lah aku pon. Yang hadir pun adalah golongan yang bakal jadi jenazah ja, kata ustaz tu.

Sekarang nih manusia dah jadi jahat sebab tidak ngaji ilmu agama sebaliknya lebih beratkan ilmu dunia, bak kata orang Kedah dok pulon tang tu ja la. Ilmu agama tu sekadar ada ja la, tau babi tu haram, anjing tu haram, tak leh menonggang botol arak ikutan ka apa nama. Agama diletakkan di belakang, yang diletakkan dan dijunjung di atas kepala tu wang ringgit, kawan-kawan, harta pangkat, keseronokan sementara yang berlebihan, dan lain-lain lagi. Ustad kata, Hindustan kata dil to pagal hai. Dalam surat-surat kiriman orang syariat lampau aku dok baca depa sebut benda ni berhala dalam hati buat hati jadi kotoq.

Ilmu pertama tu adalah dengar ceramah agama, dan jangan sia-siakan. Sayang nabi ni maksudnya kita sayang orang yang membawa pesanan dari Allah. Hari ni, kita pun harus sayangi tuk-tuk guru agama kita juga memberi hormat. Guru-guru agama yang 'ikhlas hati' ni adalah pewaris nabi.

Satu perkara lagi dalam cinta sayang kepada nabi ni adalah yakin. Kita harus yakin dengan sunnah nabi. Sunnah tu maksudnya cara hidup yang berasaskan contoh perbuatan nabi. Sunnah nabi tu ada terkandung dalam hadis-hadis nabawi yang diwahyukan juga oleh Malaikat Jibril a.s. Masalahnya sekarang ni, orang Islam tidak yakin lagi dengan sunnah serta tidak mengamalkannya. Setengahnya pula hanya mengambil sebahagian yang mereka boleh terima dan meninggalkan yang mereka tak boleh terima. Bila perintah disampaikan melalui rasul, kita ikut suruhan Allah Azza wa Jalla dan tinggalkan larangannya.

Ada juga ketaatan kepada perintah Allah dan larangan-Nya serta ikhlas mengikut suruhan Allah Azza wa Jalla yang disampaikan melalui rasul s.a.w. Ringkas ceritanya, Allah Azza wa Jalla berfirman bahawa tidak kami utus Rasul s.a.w kepada kamu kecuali sebagai rahmat atas alam. Bukan manusia saja bergembira, haiwan serta alam juga gembira kerana sebaik rasul s.a.w lahir sahaja, terpadam api orang majusi, bergegar segala berhala. Semuanya terasa rahmat kelahiran rasul s.a.w.

Selain itu, Allah Azza wa Jalla berfirman lagi, sesungguhnya bagi diri kamu rasul s.a.w sebagai contoh ikutan terbaik. Baginda dididik oleh Allah Azza wa Jalla sendiri. Tiada masuk mana-mana sekolah atau mana-mana universiti macam kita nih pun dia ada akhlak mulia. Akhlak dan adab sopan sungguh tip-top bukan macam orang sekarang nih yang belajar macam-macam ilmu tapi berlagak sombong bongkak lagi angkuh dok ada. Begitulah yang aku dengar adanya. Pengalaman aku masa aku sekolah dulu sampai ke lani pon sama ja la macam apa ustad kata dalam dok perhati keliling kita, moga jadi teladan buat sempadan sama kita lah hendaknya. - Tammat, 3 Rabi'uttaani 1430 H hari Isnin jam 20:40 (30th March 2009)"

This is actually imported from my previous blogs and I import it here before I wipe clean all of my previous track. Feel sick looking at them because some of them still have the configuration and links with my previous classmates during first degree time. I don't want anyone to know me or even imagine or remember my appearance anymore. Just want it to be like nothing ever happened and I am not existence.

I actually posted many things especially religious notes in non-centralized blogs last time when I was a roommate to Mijie in year 2009 but this note was with me since the previous semester I was with Zaidi. I was quite active last time in memorizing religious lectures and jotting them down when I return to my room cause I stay functioned like a primitive man and listened to them without any preparation such as when I was in the bus and had no pen or paper with me, lol.

This lecture was actually half typed in Kedah Malay and Standard one. Some people might understand or familiar, some may not because of structural difference. I was in the midst where I had problem with my classmates and some lecturers in that particular semester. They began to form groups and talking evil things about each other. I could only see Satan in it so I refuse to mix around and stay underrated. The God Will, we would try to make some English translation wherever possible on important points for others to get benefit. Lama tak tulis bahasa Melayu atau cakap bahasa Melayu betul-betul dok keja cakap Kedah and English jah, feel quite awkward and weird... haha.

Allahumma salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'alaa aali Muhammad. Kamaa sallaita 'alaa Ibrahim wa 'alaa aali Ibrahim. Allahumma baarik 'alaa Muhammad wa 'alaa aali Muhammad. Kamaa baarakta 'alaa Ibrahim wa 'ala aali Ibrahim. Fil 'aalameena innaka hameedun majeed. Our Lord, please be in contact with our prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his family. As You had been in contact with our patriarch Abraham and his family. Our Lord, please bless our prophet Muhammad s.a.w and his family. As You had blessed our patriarch Abraham and his family. In the universe, You are the only worth praise and glory. Sealed with prayers for peace, mercy and love, amin!!!
