The scholars and the righteous of this Ummah always feared fame and becoming well-known amongst the people. They would dislike for their name to be mentioned much and you can see one of them fleeing from the people as if they were a fitnah (trial), whilst at other times you can see one get up and leave the circle of knowledge which he was conducting because the numbers became too many.
Below here are some amazing statements from our predecessors that allude to just how much they held onto sincerity and how much they fled from fame and from being spoken about.
Ibn Mas’ood (radhiallahu `anhu): ‘(O people!) Be the springs of knowledge and the lamps of guidance! Stick to your homes and be like a light in the night, revivers of hearts, wearing worn-out clothes, you will then be known by the people of the heavens and be hidden among the people of the earth.’
A man said to Bishr: ‘Advice me.’ So he said, ‘Let your mention be unknown…’ And Hushib would be found crying saying, ‘My name has reached the Masjid!’
Both Ibrahim al-Nakha’i and al-Hasan used to say, ‘It is enough of an evil that a man should be pointed at in matters of Deen or Dunya (i.e. out of fame), except him whom Allah has protected. Righteousness lies here’ and he’d point to his chest three times.
Ibrahim ibn Adham: ‘A slave who loves fame has not been truthful to Allah.’
‘Aasim: ‘If more than four people came and sat around Abul-‘Aaliyah, he would get up and leave.’
Dawud al-Ta’i used to say: ‘Flee from people just like you would flee from a lion.’
Imam Ahmad: ‘Glad tidings be to the one whose mention has been hidden by Allah!’ And he would say, ‘I wish for something that will never be… I wish to be in a place devoid of other people.’
Dhul-Nun: ‘Being pleased with being around people is from the signs of bankruptcy’
Fudhayl ibn ‘Iyyadh: ‘If you can get by without being known, then do so. What does it bother you that people will not praise you, and what does it bother you that you may be blameworthy in the sight of people if in the Sight of Allah you are praiseworthy?’
Muhammad ibn al-‘Alaa ibn Musayyib from Basra wrote to Muhammad Yusuf al-Asbahani saying, ‘O my brother, whoever loves Allah loves that he remain unknown (to the people).’
Bishr ibn al-Harith: ‘I do not know a single man who loves fame except that he loses his religion and becomes disgraced. No-one who has fear of Allah, loves to be known amongst the people.’
He (rahimahullah) also said: ‘A man who loves that everyone should know him, will never find the sweetness of the Hereafter.’
Yazid ibn Abi Habib: ‘Indeed from the fitnah of a scholar is that speech should become more pleasing to him than silence and listening.’
Abu Huraira (radhiallahu `anhu) used to say: ‘Were it not for an ayah in the Book of Allah, I would not have narrated to you people (ayah below):
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَكْتُمُونَ مَا أَنزَلْنَا مِنَ الْبَيِّنَاتِ وَالْهُدَى مِن بَعْدِ مَا بَيَّنَّاهُ لِلنَّاسِ فِي الْكِتَابِ
أُولَـئِكَ يَلعَنُهُمُ اللّهُ وَيَلْعَنُهُمُ اللَّاعِنُونَ
‘Verily, those who conceal the clear proofs, evidences and the guidance, which We have sent down, after We have made it clear for the people in the Book, they are the ones cursed by Allah and cursed by the cursers.’ [al-Baqarah: 159]
Al-Sha’bi: ‘We tried incredibly hard to get Ibrahim al-Taymi to sit down in the masjid and narrate to the people but he refused.’
Ibn Abi Layla: ‘I met a hundred and twenty Companions of the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam), and none of them would narrate except that he loved his brother to suffice him of that. And none of them gave fatawa except that he wished his brother would suffice him of that.’
‘Abdullah ibn Abbas: ‘Indeed Allah has slaves who have been silenced by the fear of Allah although they are eloquent in speech.’
Sufyan al-Thawri: ‘If you can become a scholar without being known, then do so. For indeed the people, if they knew what was in you, they would eat your flesh.’
He (rahimahullah) wouldn’t allow more than three people to sit in his gathering. One day, more than three came and he saw his gathering had increased so he stood up in fear and said, ‘By Allah, we have been taken and we do not even feel it! By Allah, if the leader of the faithful, ‘Umar (radhiallahu `anhu) were to see someone like me sitting in this gathering he would make me stand up and say ‘The like of you is not worthy of this!’
It is reported that when he sat to narrate hadeeth, he would sit in fear and terror. If a cloud passed over him, he would become silent until it passed then he’d say, ‘I feared that it contained stones with which we would be struck with.’
When Bishr al-Hafi abandoned narrating hadeeth in a gathering, the people said to him: ‘What are you going to say to your Lord when He asks you ‘Why did you abandon narrating to the people the statements of My Prophet Muhammad (sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam)?!’ He (rahimahullah) said, ‘I will say, O my Lord. You have commanded me to do it with sincerity but I did not find that in me.’
It was said to Sufyan Ibn ‘Uyaynah once, ‘Won’t you sit and narrate to us?’ He (rahimahullah) said: ‘By Allah, I don’t see you worthy of being narrated to nor do I see myself worthy of being listened to.’
Ibrahim Ibn Adham; -
Ibrahim ibn Adham: ‘I never found delight in living except in al-Sham (greater Syria). I would flee with my religion from heights to heights and from mountain to mountain. Whoever saw me said ‘He’s delusional’ and whoever saw me said ‘He’s a porter.’
He (rahimahullah) would also say: ‘The scholars! When they taught they would act (righteous deeds) and when they acted, they would become busy in that, and when they became busy they would be missed by the people and when they were missed, they would be sought out by the people, and when they were sought, they would flee.’
One day he passed by the gathering of al-Awza’i (rahimahullah) and saw that a large number of people had gathered. So he said, ‘If all this crowding was around Abu Huraira, he would have departed from it.’ This reached al-Awza’i who got up and abandoned the gathering from that day on.
Ibrahim ibn Adham was an amazing personality masha’Allah; he tried hard to keep away from the people in fear of them mentioning him too much. But his fame shot up and his name became so widespread to the point that it was said one time ‘He is in the garden’ (where he worked tending to crops), so the people entered it, encircling it, saying ‘Where is Ibrahim ibn Adham?’ So he began to encircle along with them saying, ‘Where is Ibrahim ibn Adham?!’ [Point being here that his name, character and reputation was known but he himself was hardly seen so they didn’t recognise him!]
:He (rahimahullah) said ‘My eye never found solace and delight in a day of this world except once. I spent the night in a mosque in one of the villages in al-Sham whilst I had a stomach sickness. The mu’adhin then grabbed me by my leg and dragged me out of the mosque!’ – He found solace in this because the man did not recognise him and he did not leave the mosque as he was ill and illness had made him remain in the mosque.

And if he draws near to Me a hand's span, I draw near to him an arm's length. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed " (Hadist Qudsi: Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah )
(22). Ibn 'Umar ra said that Rasulullah saw said : "Do not talk for long without remembering Allah swt, for talking much without remembering Allah swt is hardness of the heart. The most distant among man from Allah swt is one with a hardened heart". ( Tirmidhi )

He says : (It was) out of fear of people. Then Allah swt says : Rather it is I whom you should more properly fear " (Hadist Qudsi, related by Ibn Majah with a sound chain of authorities)
(28). On the authority of Abu Hurayrah ra, who siad that Rasulullah saw said : Allah swt said : " Spend (i.e. on charity), O son of Adam, and I shall spend on you " (Hadist Qudsi, related by Bukhari and Muslim)

(31). Abdullah b.

Do not try to find fault with each other, do not spy on one another, do not vie with one another, do not envy one another, do not be angry with one another, do not turn away from one another, and be servants of Allah, brothers to one another, as you have been enjoined. A Muslim is the brother of a muslim, he does him no wrong, nor does he let him down, nor does he despise him. Fear of God is here, fear of God is here, and he pointed to his chest. It is evil enough thata Muslim should look down on his brother. For every muslim is sacred to one another : his blood, his honour, and his property. Allah does not look at your bodies or your forms, or your deeds, but He looks at your hearts". ( Bukhari, Muslim )
(34) Abu Musa ra said that Rasulullah saw said : "Visit the sick, feed the hungry and free the captives". ( Bukhari )
(35) From Abu Hurairah ra : Rasulullah saw said :"One who visits a sick person, or visits a brother of his for the sake of Allah swt, a caller calls him (saying) :"May you be well, and may your passage be well, and may you occupy a place in paradise " ( Tirmidhi )
(36) Muadh b. Jabal ra said that he heard Rasulullah saw say : Allah swt said : "My love is due to those who love each other for my sake, who sit with each other for my sake, who visit one another for my sake, who spend on each other for my sake" ( Malik )
(37) Abu Musa al-Ashari ra said that Rasulullah saw said : "Permission to enter is to be asked three times. If permission is given to you, then enter, otherwise leave" ( Bukhari, Muslim )
(38) Abu Dzar ra goes on saying that he asked for more advice. Rasulullah saw advised that he should cultivate fear of Allah swt, because it is the root and basis of all spiritual actions.
Abu Dzar ra then begged for more advice. Rasulullah sawsaid : "Be consistent in recitation of Al-Qur'an and remembrance of Allah, because it is 'nur' in this world and 'zakhirah' in the heaven.
Abu Dzar ra again sought further advice and was told : "Abstain from too much of laughter, because it causes the heart to wither, and the faceloses its lustre".
Abu Dzar ra sought further advice, whereupon Rasulullah saw said : "Stick to jihad, because this is the 'ruhbaniat' (monasticism) for my ummah.
Abu Dzar ra asked for more advice, and Rasulullah saw said : "Associate yourself with the poor and the needy, be friendly with them and sit in their company".
When Abu Dzar ra requested further advice, Rasulullah saw said : " Look towards those who rank below you, so that you may get used of being thankful, and do not look at those who rank above you lest you should despise the favours of Allah swt upon you ".
When Abu Dzar ra again asked for more advice, Rasulullah saw said : "Let your own faults prevent you from criticizing others and do not try to find fault with others, because you commit those faults yourself. It is enough to prove you guilty that you should find in others such faults as you yourself posess, though you may not be aware of them, and that you should find in others such misdeeds as you yourself commit".
After this Rasulullah saw patted the chest of Abu Dzar ra with his loving hand and said : "O, Abu Dzar, there is no wisdom better than prudence, nor any piety better than refraining from the unlawful, nor any nobility better than polite manners" (Narrated by Ibn Hibban)
(39) It has been narrated on the authority of the authority of 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As ra that Rasulullah saw said : "The world is but a provision and the best provision of the world is a pious and virtous woman ". (Muslim)

(41) It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar ra that Rasulullah saw said : "All of you are guardians and are respon- sible for your wards. The ruler is a guardian of his subjects and the man is a guardian of his family, the lady is a guardian and is responsible for her husband's house and his offspring; and so all of you are guardians and responsible for your wards". (Muttafaquun 'alayh)
(42) It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah ra that he heard Rasulullah saw as saying : "Act kindly towards woman, for they were created from a rib and the most crooked part of a rib is its top. If you attempt to straighten it you will break it, and if you leave it alone it will remain crooked; so act kindly toward women ". (Bukhari and Muslim)
(43) It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah ra that he heard Rasulullah saw as saying : "A believer must not bear enmity against a believing woman; if he dislikes one of her characteristics he will be pleased with another ". (Muslim)
(44) It has been narrated on the authority of Usama bin Zaid ra that Rasulullah saw said :"I am not leaving behind me a more harmful tribulation for men than women ". (Muttafaquun 'alayh)
(45) It has been narrated on the authority of 'Amr ibn Ahwas Jashni ra that he heard Rasulullah saw say in his sermon on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage. After praising and glorifying Allah swt, he admonished people : " Treat woman kindly, they are like captives in your hands, you do not owe anything else except them. In case they are guilty of open indecency, you may leave them alone in their beds and inflict slight punishment. If they are obedient to you,do not have recourse to anything else against them. You have your rights over your wives and they have their rights over you. Your rights is that they shall not permit anyone you dislike to enter your and their rights is that you should treat them well in the matter food and clothing ". (Tirmidhi)
(46) Al-Aswad ra said : I asked A'isha ra : "What did Rasulullah saw used to do in his house ?". She said : "He used to work for his family, and when prayer (time) came, he went out for prayer ". (Bukhari)

Once, upon seeing his leg uncovered, some people laughed, whereupon Rasulullah saw said : "Are you laughing at the frailty of his legs ? By Him in Whose hand is my soul, in the scale of Allah they are weightier than Mount Uhud." ( Ahmad and al-Tiyalisi )
(50) Ibn Umar ra narrated Rasulullah saw said : "O you who declare Islam with your tongues but whose hearts have not been reached by faith, do not annoy the Muslims nor seek out their faults, for he who seeks out the faults of his brother Muslim will have his faults sought out by Allah, and when Allah seeks out someone's faults, He exposes them, eventhough he should be in the interior of his house."

( Muslim )

He who protects himself from doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his faith and honour. But he who falls into doubtful matters is like a shepherd who grazes (his sheep) around a sanctuary, and (liable) to graze therein. Surely, every King has a sanctuary. Surely, the sanctuary of Allah swt is his prohibitions. Surely, in the body is a piece of flesh, and if it is sound, the whole body is sound; and if it is damaged, the body is deseased. Surely, it is the heart. ( Bukhari, Muslim )

A Muslim is the brother of a muslim, he does him no wrong, nor does he let him down, nor does he despise him. Fear of God is here, fear of God is here, and he pointed to his chest. It is evil enough thata Muslim should look down on his brother. For every muslim is sacred to one another : his blood, his honour, and his property. Allah does not look at your bodies or your forms, or your deeds, but He looks at your hearts". ( Bukhari, Muslim )

Abu Dzar ra then begged for more advice. Rasulullah sawsaid : "Be consistent in recitation of Al-Qur'an and remembrance of Allah, because it is 'nur' in this world and 'zakhirah' in the heaven.
Abu Dzar ra again sought further advice and was told : "Abstain from too much of laughter, because it causes the heart to wither, and the faceloses its lustre".
Abu Dzar ra sought further advice, whereupon Rasulullah saw said : "Stick to jihad, because this is the 'ruhbaniat' (monasticism) for my ummah.
Abu Dzar ra asked for more advice, and Rasulullah saw said : "Associate yourself with the poor and the needy, be friendly with them and sit in their company".
When Abu Dzar ra requested further advice, Rasulullah saw said : " Look towards those who rank below you, so that you may get used of being thankful, and do not look at those who rank above you lest you should despise the favours of Allah swt upon you ".
When Abu Dzar ra again asked for more advice, Rasulullah saw said : "Let your own faults prevent you from criticizing others and do not try to find fault with others, because you commit those faults yourself. It is enough to prove you guilty that you should find in others such faults as you yourself posess, though you may not be aware of them, and that you should find in others such misdeeds as you yourself commit".
After this Rasulullah saw patted the chest of Abu Dzar ra with his loving hand and said : "O, Abu Dzar, there is no wisdom better than prudence, nor any piety better than refraining from the unlawful, nor any nobility better than polite manners" (Narrated by Ibn Hibban)

Your rights is that they shall not permit anyone you dislike to enter your and their rights is that you should treat them well in the matter food and clothing ". (Tirmidhi)

Jangan Futur
Assalamualaikum,
Aku bukan apa hanyalah manusia. Sering dihadapi dengan pelbagai masalah. Kebelakangan ini, saya asyik diperangi dengan perang pemikiran. Kadangkala, selalu terdengar cakap syaitan itu. Dahulu bentuk perang pemikiran ku lain. Sekarang pula lain. Sungguh pandai syaitan itu memanipulasikan dan menghiaskan futur-futurku ini. Selain itu, aku jua seringkali mudah berputus asa. Lebih-lebih lagi apabila exam finals sedang dekat. Aku selalu mengingatkan kata kata Ibuku, "Leha preparing for exam is like preparing for battle(peperangan)!" Jadi sahlah ayat ini sangat sangat terkena pada aku.
Diwajibkan atas kamu berperang, padahal itu tidak menyenagkan bagimu. Tetapi boleh jadi kamu tidak menyenangi sesuatu, padahal itu lebih baik bagimu, dan boleh jadi kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal itu tidak baik bagimu. Allah mengetahui sedang kamu tidak mengetahui.
(Al-Baqarah:216)
Wahai orang-orang beriman! Apabila kamu bertemu dengan orang-orang kafir yang akan menyerangimu, maka janganlah kamu berbalik membelakangi mereka(mundur)
(Al-Anfal:178)
Means dont' give up and leave the battle! But if i still follow syaitan and give up, this is where i'll end up. =S Takut nye!!!
Dan barang siapa mundur pada waktu itu........orang itu kembali membawa kemurkaan dari Allah. Tempatnya ialah neraka Jahanam, dan seburuk-buruk tempat kembali"
(Al-Anfal:179)
“……dan jgnlah kamu berputus asa dari rahmat Allah. Sesungguhnya tiada berputus asa dari rahmat Allah melainkan kaum yang kafir.”
(Yusuf:87)
Adakah saya ni seperti sikap orang kafir? Adakah kemalasanku boleh membawaku ke Neraka? Padahal sudah ku tahu bahawa Medic ini merupakan Fardu Ain-Kifayah (Ustaz Amin explain).
Sedihnya hati ini....
“Jgnlah kamu bersikap lemah. dan jgnlah pula kamu bersedih hati,padahal kamulah org2 yg paling tinggi darjatnya, jika kamu org2 yg beriman.”
(Ali-Imran: 139)
Jika saya ini orang2 beriman. Itu tak komfem lagi.....hmmmm. Takpe Leha, takpe Allah tak tengok result. Allah tengok usaha. Ingat tu Leha. Jangan malas malas...hei apa nak jadi ni....
FOCUS!

Aku bukan apa hanyalah manusia. Sering dihadapi dengan pelbagai masalah. Kebelakangan ini, saya asyik diperangi dengan perang pemikiran. Kadangkala, selalu terdengar cakap syaitan itu. Dahulu bentuk perang pemikiran ku lain. Sekarang pula lain. Sungguh pandai syaitan itu memanipulasikan dan menghiaskan futur-futurku ini. Selain itu, aku jua seringkali mudah berputus asa. Lebih-lebih lagi apabila exam finals sedang dekat. Aku selalu mengingatkan kata kata Ibuku, "Leha preparing for exam is like preparing for battle(peperangan)!" Jadi sahlah ayat ini sangat sangat terkena pada aku.
Diwajibkan atas kamu berperang, padahal itu tidak menyenagkan bagimu. Tetapi boleh jadi kamu tidak menyenangi sesuatu, padahal itu lebih baik bagimu, dan boleh jadi kamu menyukai sesuatu, padahal itu tidak baik bagimu. Allah mengetahui sedang kamu tidak mengetahui.
(Al-Baqarah:216)
Wahai orang-orang beriman! Apabila kamu bertemu dengan orang-orang kafir yang akan menyerangimu, maka janganlah kamu berbalik membelakangi mereka(mundur)
(Al-Anfal:178)
Means dont' give up and leave the battle! But if i still follow syaitan and give up, this is where i'll end up. =S Takut nye!!!
Dan barang siapa mundur pada waktu itu........orang itu kembali membawa kemurkaan dari Allah. Tempatnya ialah neraka Jahanam, dan seburuk-buruk tempat kembali"
(Al-Anfal:179)
“……dan jgnlah kamu berputus asa dari rahmat Allah. Sesungguhnya tiada berputus asa dari rahmat Allah melainkan kaum yang kafir.”
(Yusuf:87)
Adakah saya ni seperti sikap orang kafir? Adakah kemalasanku boleh membawaku ke Neraka? Padahal sudah ku tahu bahawa Medic ini merupakan Fardu Ain-Kifayah (Ustaz Amin explain).
Sedihnya hati ini....
“Jgnlah kamu bersikap lemah. dan jgnlah pula kamu bersedih hati,padahal kamulah org2 yg paling tinggi darjatnya, jika kamu org2 yg beriman.”
(Ali-Imran: 139)

Meet my friend Bret Martin
Around five months ago, i came to know this Youtube user named ClevonAmerica. I have been watching many of his videos. I was touched about what he had to say about Islam. He is not a Muslim, though he believes in a God. His name is Bret Martin.
Bret really inspired me to look deep into my self. He actually made me think about how i as a Muslim should react towards other people of other faiths. He said that Islam is such a beautifull religion, but sadly many Muslims dont want to show it and tell it to the world.
Through his videos, you will also learn about his past experiences. Bret is a colon cancer survivor. He had a ileostomy that was later reversed. He said his cancer saved his life because it woke him up from the deep coma he in was in for so many years. I could kind of relate to the things he says because i also feel like i just woke up from my comma a year ago. He now is happily marrid with five children. Two of them are adopted. The recent one is from Ethiopia!
I always pray and hope that one day Bret will become a Muslim because though he does not know it yet, i'm sure deep down inside he knows that Islam is the religion for all mankind.
Several quotes i'll never forget he said is that, "When you judge people, don't judge them with a broad brush because you are going to effect other people who are innocent together with that brush." and "Remember every person is their individual soul, their individual mind"
Thanks Bret for your friendship and you beautifull kind words. You will always be my inspiration. May you find true peace and may we meet in Jannah someday insyaAllah. =)

Can you hear the people calling?
Salam sejahtera dan apa khabar buat pembaca, ni nak cakap dari hati ke hati tau. Tak skema tau. Awal-awalje skema sikit pastu tak..hehehe
Merupakan satu sunnatullah(ketentuan Allah) di dalam hidup kita dimana akan ada orang yang sentiasa memanggil kita kearah kebaikan. Mungkin hari ini guru kita, mungkin semalam ibu bapa kita, dan boleh jadi juga rakan-rakan kita sendiri. Apabila kita dipanggil untuk melakukan sesuatu kebaikan tersebut, tanyalah diri kita sendiri, adakah kita buat tidak hirau dan hanya masuk telinga kanan dan keluar telinga kiri? Ataupun adakah kita terima nasihat tersebut dan seterusnya bergerak untuk melakukan sesuatu tentangnya?....
Hey can i just let you in a little secret...i was like you before. I didn't want to listen to what everyone told me to do. I was like a rebel in my family. I was most of the time selfish towards people around me. I thought being the bad girl was "COOL" and i thought the whole world revolved around me. me. me. me. me...selfish kan?
But now i tak nak jadi orang seperti itu lagi. Sebab apa tau. I learnt that dalam dunia ni....semua benda yang kita buat dekat orang akan datang balik kepada kita. I had to learn it the hard way ofcourse. Masa tuh my whole world crumbled right infront of my eyes. Everything i did only brought more destruction than good. I didn't even know how to solve that problem at that time. I was stranded in my own mess.
Pada masa itu, tiada orang di sis kiri dan kananku yang dapat kuluahkan perasaanku. Aku bukan seperti orang lain, mempunya rakan-rakan yang ramai. Semua rakan-rakanku kebanyakannya boleh kata 'fake friends' lah. Diri terasa sangat asing kerana rasa seperti tiada orang kisah tentang aku. Pada saat itu juga aku berdoa kepadaNya untuk betul betul berubah. Untuk menjadi orang yang kedua tadi. Iaitu mendengar nasihat orang. Lebih tidak mementingkan diri sendiri. Tapi masalah tersebut tidaklah terus hilang dengan sekelip matanya.
Oh sesekalinya tidak.
I had to work REALLY hard to change my life. So i did. I tried all possible ways to ask from my Rabb to please take this deep depression away from me. Takyah kisahlah apa orang nak cakap.. Yang penting kita buat apa sahaja yang kita mampu. Tahutak, aku pada masa itu rasa sangatlah hina kerana sebeum ini telah banyak dosa-dosa yang telah aku lakukan. Sangat malu untuk meminta tolong pada Tuhan pada masa itu. Tapi, disudut hati ada juga rasa harap. Harap Dia tidak terlalu marah pada diriku ini. Harap dosa-dosaku diampunkan.
Tetapi,
Masaalahku masih tidak terselesai...
Lepas tuh mulalah merajinkan diri untuk membaca tafsir Al-Quran yang sebelum ini tidak pernahku buka. Tak pernahku fikirpun sebelum ini untuk membaca maksud-maksud yang tersirat di dalamnya. Engkau mesti terfikir, fuiyo Quran! Memang, itu mungkin kata-kata yang akan terkeluar dari mulut rakan-rakanku. Tapi aku tak peduli apa orang nak kata. Lantak aku lah! Ish!
Anyways, while flipping through the pages datanglah kepada ayat ini,
Air mataku mula mengalir. Ya Tuhanku! Betapa pemurahnya Engkau. Sehina-hina manapun aku ini engkau sangguh akan mengampunkan aku?? Akupun teruslah tutup Quran itu and tidur sambil menangis di bawah selimut. Aku cuba untuk tidur tapi tak berjaya-jaya. Akupun termenung dalam kegelapan dan mula fikir tentang orang-orang yang pernah aku aniaya sebelum ini. My mom, my bro, my sis, budak kat sekolah tu, pastu cikgu Physics...hmmmm... and the list goes on and on. Malamtu aku betul-betul mintak kat Allah supaya perbaikkan hubungan aku dengan mereka semua.
Lepastu akupun sedar kenapa takboleh tidur. Sebab aku lupa baca doa sebelum tidur. Masa kecik-kecik dulu aku dan abangku(zd) tidur sebilik. Kita orang rajin baca doa tidur sama-sama sebab takut nanti hantu takde-kepala tu masuk melalui tingkap atas yang terbuka. Dah tua-tua ni malas pulak nak baca. Lepastu baru aku tidur dengan nyenyak. huhuhu
So after that from one good thing led to anotherlah. Bila kita ada niat untuk berubah tu, Allah for sure akan tunjukkan jalan-jalan Dia untuk kita.
Sekarang, persepsiku tentang dunia telah berubah. Aku tidak senang goyah dengan cabaran- cabaran yang menghadapiku. Hati menjadi lebih tenang apabila mengingatkan Tuhan. Sekarang aku dah belajar di universiti. Mengambil jurusan kedoktoran. InsyaAllah akan aku usuhakan untuk belajar bersungguh-sungguh untuk mendapat keredhaan dariNya. Walaupun aku mendapat biasiswa dari kerajaan untuk melanjutkan pelajaran, tapi aku tahu yang memberinya bukanlah kerajaan tetapi Rabbku sendiri.
So aku cerita nibukan nak sindir engkau ke apa. Just nak sharing je. Kan sharing is caring. Aku sekarang tengah cuba untuk tak jadi takterlalu selfish. Study study, tapi harus ada juga masa untuk dilapangkan kepada rakan-rakan dan keluarga tersayang. Itulah yang di tuntut sebenarnya oleh Tuhan kita. Ok harap - harap post aku kali ini tak terlalu panjang dan membosankan untuk dibaca. Apa-apapun kelemahan itu datang dari dirku sendiri dan segala kebaikan datangnya dari Allah. BYe awak. Muuuaaah!=)

Justice Vs Forgiveness…. Which one is better?
Justice Vs Forgiveness…. Which one is better?
All Muslims claim to know that love, forgiveness, kindness and charity
are facets of their faith. It’s the same with every other major religions out there I’m sure, whether Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism and many others.
If we all claim to be apart of any one of these religions, how come there
is still so much suffering in this world? Could it be that we are not really practicing our faith as we should be anymore? Have we all gone to a degree whereby we separate religion with our daily actions? If we all agree that this world was created by a Supreme Being. Why are we not obeying the laws that were put down to us by Him?
How many more children, women and men have to die in Palestine to make us wake up and see that we all need to set aside our differences and stand
together to fight for world peace!? How many more does it take for us
to see that I am you and you are me and we are all stuck in this world
together? We can't go anywhere else!? There is no point in fighting
over a piece of land. I mean can’t we all just learn to get along?
Throughout the world, a “peace fighter” named Bret Martin ones said "Who do I have to hate to be your friend? When are we going to see that us is them?" What he was
referring to, are the types of friendship people nowadays are building
with one another out of the hatred of someone else. By right we should not
hate anybody and we should certainly not support people who are taking
the human rights of others for what ever reason. Imagine, if you had a child that had died in your arms, how would you feel? You see, mothers everywhere love their children and would do anything to sacrifice their life to protect them. No love of a mother to her child is worth more or less than another in this world.
A change needs to be made in each and everyone of us. What we all can do is not only to give our support to those who are taking action in helping to heal the world. But what we also should do is help spread the message of peace, love, kindness and forgiveness to
one another. If you are online and you are having a dialog with somebody who is offensive and rude, try to show them some love and make them feel that in each and everyone of us, we all want the same thing. That is true peace and happiness in this life.
