titanic yang tak terkaram, kehalusan budi dan kerendahan hati

today i watched titanic at the star movie channel. well, i watched it once dulu, time tu kat kampung i guess, vcd. well basically dulu titanic famous coz it is one of d pioneer movies dat had nude in it in msia.
maklumlah, time tu muda2 lagy kan, comel2 lagy. ngan sifat ingin tahu yang mendalam. innocence yg suci bersih. campur masih kanak2 lagy, takde la salah sgt tgk kan.

namun skrg dah matang, dicampur kehenseman dan kemachoan yang luar biasa, sudah mampu menganalisis ape yang tidak diri ini fahami pada masa dahulu. yes. mari mengungkap cerita titanic ini melalui mata saya.


jack dawson n rose amende tah.
yeay.

so as most of us know, d movie is about titanic, a cruise ship which is said to be unsinkable. n yet, padan muka i'd like to say, titanic now is d only kapal laut yg karam dat i know, n i cn bet for d same in other's minds.

n then within d ship, d story is about people dat lives wif such hierrarchy (dun care bout d spelling) n sangat la mementing kan kelas.
1st class.
2nd class.
or third?

so wat rili touched me is about these classes, which mostly reminds me of kasta di india, n sistem feudal etc. well lets discuss shall we?

so i guess we can screw 2nd class coz they never seemed important in d movie.

lets move to first.
royalty,
wealthy,
n filthy at heart.
dammit.

they have d best of manners, which makes d third class people look like street rats. well, kinda it seems. kalo kita tgk la, memang molek la peradaban mereka. kelas pertama kan, minda pon kelas pertama i guess?

kelembutan bahasa
kehalusan budi
kebusukan hati.

memang zahir dia semua molek, elok belaka. namun kalau diselam maksud perkataan dan perbuatan diorg, memang semerbak la kebusukan hati diorg. pandang hina kat orang. takabbur. riya'. ape lagy. memang makan la tipu daya dunia. sampai kapal nak karam pon leh naik life boat ikut kelas? a boat for 70 was occupied by 20 je? no wonder ramai mati.

then lets move to third class citizens.

dirty.
rowdy.
lucky.
kerendahan hati.

d third class people are portrayed as such, very care free, very sincere, n very lucky to be on such a ship. yes, they do not have d manners n ethics of royalty n busuk hati, but they stand their ground n sangat merendah diri. shown to be true as a poor class people. n pandai tahan tindasan kaum bangsawan.

well, not all bangsawan tu busuk. ade jgk yang ok, cuma majority lah yg busuk hati.

so let us look, how life treats us. its always like dat. yang kaya menindas, yang miskin mati lemas.

then lets see pasal kapal2 kan. so they said, titanic the unsinkable. now titanic the sunken.

well i guess its d way how Allah tunjuk to people yang ingat bagus abes.

nah, amek kau.
karam lah kau bersama kapal yang dibanggakan
(secara kasarnya i think tu messagenye lah)

then today tahun baru hijrah. so i heard a talk on hijrah. then dis syeikh ahmad darwisy said (maksudnya dalam bm):

apa sahaja yang ade perkaitan dengan Allah tidak akan musnah.
apa sahaja yang tiade perkaitan dengan Allah akan musnah.

so he told the acheh tsunami story as below.





ok, d masjids didnt even suffer a scratch from d tsunami. as most of us THOUGHT we know d reason, it is because rumah Allah, so dipelihara. true, i guess.

up until now, only i know another deeper reason.

syeikh ahmad darwisy said, during d reign of Umar Al-khattab, he sent many sahabat across the world to do dakwah, sebarkan Islam. jihad fi sabilillah. yes, true.

then, ada yang sampai ke kepulauan melayu ini.

and here's d best part. refer back to the picture of d masjids.

kisahnya, tapak masjid yang tak musnah tu, sebenarnye, ialah tapak berlabuhnya kapal sahabat2 yang datang untuk menyebarkan Islam, bawah arahan Umar al-Khattab. sebab tu lah masjid itu tak rosak.

let us think again now shall we?

titanic the unsinkable. sangat dibanggakan. Tuhan balas, karam.

now sahabat2 ada kapal jugak. jangankan nak kata kapal sahabat karam,bekas tapak berlabuh kapal sahabat pon tak karam, in a situation in which tempat2 lain habis hancur musnah.

betapa hebat n berkatnya kapal sahabat2, sampai tapak berlabuh pon terpelihara, 1400 tahun.

titanic? hmph. br berlayar 3 hari dh karam.

so i hope dis story would benefit me n evrybody who's reading this.

memang bagus jadi kaya, berbudi bahasa, tapi apa guna kalau hati itu busuk dan takabbur.
mari kita ingat, takabbur itu sifat Allah. Allah sahaja yang layak untuk takabbur, sebab dia memang layak. kalau kita ambil sifat Tuhan ini, so just ready aje lah.

n then miskin. miskin pon actually xde la elok sgt, coz macam mana nak menegakkan agama kalau miskin? cmner nak haji? cmner nak zakat? cmner sedekah? kalau semua Islam miskin susah juga.

so, to make it easy, dunia memang lah dunia, so kita memang kena kejar. tegakkan agama. kejar dunia.
tapi pesan syeikh abu hassan as-syazuli, dunia itu dalam genggaman tangan, bukan genggaman hati. kita menunggang dunia, bukan dunia menunggang kita.

at the same time, kita kena ade sifat tawadhu'.

just like Nabi kita, kaya, bangsawan, tapi 'ala khuluqil azhim, di atas akhlaq yang mulia.
memiliki kehalusan budi dan kerendahan hati.

happy new year 1430 hijrah peeps.
=)

"yes, ok, boleh~"

suddenly i just thot about it. haha. in times when we're soo bz, we just dun mind others yg kecik2 ni kan. haha. so i remembered an event which involved me n my youngest bro. huhu. rilu funny.



as d picture above shows, we were in d car lah. such a cute boy kan? (me la, not him.) we were somewhere else, wearing sumtin else as d picture too. so i was bored. i liked to bother adam (him laa).

so, i tried menggigit-ing his chubby fat arms. hahahaha. gempal2. n then dia jerit2. then i said to him:

"nak makan adam boleh?"

dia bising2 la. haha. my mom was just outside d car window, talkin to a friend. asyik gle ah my mom borak2. haha. then dgr adam bsing2. she just suro adam diam, jangan goyang2 kereta. haha.

then adam complained to mommy :

"mommyyyyyyy, firdaus kata nak makan adam~!!!"

my mom replied:

" yes yes, ok, boleh2"

then sambung talking. hahahahahahahaha.

lagy bergegar kereta. hahahahahaha. adam tak puas aty. huhuhuhu.

well, i think when times we're soo bz, we wud just do sumtin simple je so dat we can get back to our things. haha. n i guess i can continue kacau adam. hahahaha.

XD

untuk doctor2, bukan cara IB.

i have always thot of dis for some time. kita belajar science. but banyaknya cara orang bukan Islam kan. huhu.

so now, kita tgk, doctor Islam membuka langkah bersilatnya pula. huhu.



A young man asked a wise doctor :

Do you have any medicine that removes sin and cures the sickness of the heart?

Then the wise doctor replied and said :

The cure of your sickness are in ten things, these are :

1. take a root of the tree of poverty and some roots of the tree of humility.

2. mix these with the turmeric of repentance in the

3. grindstone of Allah’s pleasure, and then

4. grind the mixture of contentment in Allah’s decree

5. then put the mixture in a bowl of piety

6. pour the water of humiliation over the mixture and

7. boil in with the fire of love

8. then pour the (hot) solution into the cup of gratitude and

9. cool it off with the fan of hope of Allah’s mercy

10. finally drink the medicine with the spoon of praise of Allah

Truly if you follow this prescription, all your sickness will be cured and you will benefit from all the troubles both in this world and the Hereafter.



kalo kita tgk balik sirah kan, actually la, orang2 Islam doctors yang jauh lebih hebat dr sape2 pon.

cuba kita tgk eh some of d examples.


Nabi Muhammad :

one time, they were at war. so a sahabat shielded Rasulullah from being shot by arrows, using his face. then,

ada la sebijik panah sesat, and dat arrow caught him in the eye. terkeluar bijik mata. walawehhhhhh.

then, wat Nabi Muhammad did was, Baginda ludah air liur at the eye and put it back in.

God willing, d eye was better than ever.

after that, kalo sahabat tu sakit mata pon, mata yang diludah Rasulullah tu tak effect. maintain sihat je.

walawehhhhhhhhhhhhh~


in another story, a sahabat was fighting too. in the war, he's hand got rili injured, and it troubled him to fight so badly. d hand was just hanging on a layer of skin. n so, wat he did was, he totally pulled off d hand n had it removed, n continued to fight. (walahhhh~)

after d war, he went to see Nabi Muhammad wif his arm. so, God willing again, Nabi Muhammad sambungkan balik tangan tu together, n it was better than ever.

wahhhhhhhhhh~


Saidina Ali:

one time, ada sahabat jumpa sorg ni, tangan dah kene potong. then d sahabat asked:

"siapa yang potong tangan kamu?"


he replied:

"seorang yang tampan"

"seorang yang alim"

"amirul mukminin"


d sahabat asked again:

"lepas orang tu potong tangan kau, kau masih boleh puji dia?"


n again he replied:

"aku bersyukur sebab dia dah potong tangan aku"

"kalau tak, lagy teruk tangan aku kena di akhirat nnt"


so dis story came to the ears of saidina Ali n he called d guy.


"kalau dia boleh mengampunkan aku, apatah lagi Allah"


so saidina Ali covered d hand with a cloth, n joined d hand back.

n d hand was ok again.


kalo kita tgk betul2 la, kalo la Nabi Muhammad hidup lagy skrg, n saidina Ali, n ulama' lain,


sure tapau ah smua klinik kat dunia ni.

they are d best surgeon n doctors that ever walked d face of d earth.


wat we shud think now is,

y they become such great doctors,

n wat we, doctors to be, should try to follow as well.

=)

bodoh, bangang, but surely not BAHLUL~

its common in our culture to curse and say others stupid n dimwitted.
biasalah tu kan.

bodoh.
bangang.
n go ahead, say the third B.
bahlul.
kan?

seronok kan cakap benda ni? well, it touches me rilli deeply when i was told of the story. maybe kita seronok ckp orang bahlul, but sebenarnya,d name bahlul has a high position by ALLAH's side.
n kita tak tahu d story behind it kan? well here i'd like to share it.
interesting. =)


Bohlool was born in Kufa and his real name is Wahab bin Amr. Haroun Rashid feared for the safety of his Khalifate and kingdom from the 7th Imam Musa Kazim (A.S.); therefore, he tried to destroy the Imam. Haroun thought of a trick by which he could kill the Holy Imam. He put the blame of rebellion upon the Imam and demanded a judicial decree from the pious people of his time--which included Bohlool. Everyone gave the decree except Bohlool, who opposed the decision. He immediately went to the Imam and informed him of the circumstances, and asked for advice and guidance. Then and there the Imam told him to act insanely.

Because of the situation, Bohlool acted insanely by the Imam's order. By doing this, he was saved from Haroun's punishment. Now, without any fear of danger, and in amusing ways, Bohlool protected himself from tyrannies. He insulted the notorious Khalifa and his courtiers just by talking. Nevertheless, people acknowledged his superior wisdom and excellence. Even today many of his stories are narrated in assemblies and teach the listeners valuable lessons.

bahlul lived during harun al-rashid's time. one time, there was a drought. so they did solat hajat to ask for rain. but after ulama n ulama, their doas were still not granted. so harun al-rashid asked:

"ada lagy ulama lain tak?"

"dah takde dah, yang tinggal bahlul je"

"panggil lah bahlul"

so they called bahlul. and when he came, bahlul tak imam sembahyang pon.

dia just datang and said:

"wa ALLAHi,

turunkan lah hujan"

and rain came down.

and d drought was over.

Bahlul seorang ulama' dahulu, yang hidup dalam keadaan hamba. zuhud. tidak berkehendak terhadap dunia dan kekayaannye.

takda orang peduli pon pasal bahlul, sebab ada cerita kata dia dah gila. tapi ketahuilah,

hanya dengan bersumpah dengan nama ALLAH, ALLAH akan perkenankan doanya.

here i would like to put some of the interesting stories i got from d net. =)

Bohlool With His Friend

---

One day a friend of Bohlool's took some grains to grind at the mill. After grinding them, he loaded them on his donkey and started home. Near Bohlool's house, his donkey began limping and fell. He called Bohlool and said, " Give me your ass so I can take my bundle home."

Bohlool had taken an oath that he would not give his donkey to anyone, so he said, "I don't have a donkey." But then a donkey's bray was heard.

The man said to Bohlool, "You have a donkey but you said you didn't."

Bohlool replied, "You are a strange and stupid friend. Even though we have been friends for fifty years, you don't listen to me, but you listen to an ass."

Bohlool Criticizes Haroun

---

One day Bohlool was near Haroun. He said, "O Bohlool! Criticize me."

Bohlool said, "O Haroun! If there is no water in the desert, you are attacked by severe thirst, and near death; what would you give for one gulp of refreshing water?"

"Gold dinars."

"What if the master of the water does not agree to give water for dinars? Then what will you give?"

"I will give half of my kingdom."

"After drinking the water, you get that illness in which you can't urinate. Now what will you give that One Who will cure this illness of yours?"

Haroun answered, " The remaining half of my kingdom."

Bohlool said, "Then don't give importance to this kingdom for it is not worth more than a drink of water. Isn't it proper that you do good with Allah's creations?"

Bohlool's Gift to the Khalifa

---

One day Haroun Rashid gave Bohlool some money and told him to distribute it amongst the poor and needy.

Bohlool took the money, but a moment later gave it back to the Khalifa, who asked the reason why he did this.

Bohlool said, "I thought a lot, but found no one more dependent and poor than the Khalifa. This is the reason why I returned the money. I see that your guards and officers stand in the shops and whip people, collect tax and revenue, and then pour them all into your treasures. So I thought that you are the most needy person, and gave the money back to you."

there are simply many other stories i cari gali-ed from the net.

OH MY GOD edward cullen~! he's soooo hot~!

my BOTTOM. sungguh kelakar fenomena dalam wayang semalam. (thursday december 14th) so here's my story of it lah. huhu.

twilight.
edward cullen.
hot.
so?

ok, i went to sunway pyramids yesterday. from plan A went to plan B. so dun mind plan A, coz it did not happen.
Plan B was i joined anne (nama main2) and wa (sepatutnya nama sebenar) dan kumpulan kanak2 mereka (cousins n sibs) to sunway pyramid and watch dis movie.

well, i arrived dead early, at 10.30+ i guess. i cudnt believe myself either. anyways, i went to tgv n picked up their tickets for d movie. then i roamed around, like a lost soul, alone (sobs). window shopped alot (menahan diri from buying stuffs). till they eventually arrived, 2hours later. (tercabut kaki)

so then before the movie bwk la diorg pusing2 sikit, tgk2 kedai. malaysian saving sales lah, katanye.
then its off to d movies.

okay, so twilight. byk gle chicks tgk. adoyh. when they introduced d CULLENS, everyone was like owh wow.

then he showed up. (in the movie)

ehem ehem.
introducing...
edward cullen.

and here goes d chicks. (i hope no guys did d same)

aaaaah~! wooooohhhhhh~!

and here goes me.

yeah girls.
go.
fly.
glide to the screen.
suck his blood.
feed.

adoyyy, this is the first time i ever watched a movie in d cinema n then heard girls actually going nuts over a hot guy. i knw la he's hot, but lepak2 dah la. he cnt hear his fans now, not in tgv sunway pyramids. adoy, wats happening to the world nowadays.

n then into the movie n story itself. well, i find the movie quite ok lah. just dat, ok. d story line dat is. vampire, human. love. suck blood. fight vampires.
not much of villains anywhere. suspen je lebih. lawan sket2 je pon dh kalah. tak seronoknye.

then wat i find amusing (and dis irrated anne) was d action of gliding and also piggy-backing bella.
haha. edward was supposed to be super fast ryte. yeah i knw, i cn see d trees move past them rili fast. but edwards feet was like he was on a treadmill. slow mo kot. hahahaha. kaki dia tak laju ponnnnn~ XD

then d gliding. from tree to tree. ok, i get it. but he was like:

look at me, im jacky chan~
gliding slow mo~
no action.
just hands out.
n feet not moving.

i was laughing like hell. hahahaha. n dis also included d scene when edward climbed to the top of the tree.
super fast weh. tp panjat pokok tangan takyah cengkam trees pon. pergh hebat.
haha.

i told wa (sitting beside me) n she was also laughing juga. hahaha. kelakar weh.

anyways, i think d director (or stuntman) shud do some better job of making it look more realistic i guess? haha
n yeah, twilight was hell jiwang movie.
(but i liked edward's ride tho, d new volvo. nice wehhhhhhhh)

then we're off, jalan2. actually teman wa shopping je pon. wa shop mcm sial je. byk gle baba. dah la tgh sales, lg la shopping spree. anne hardly bought anything.
but anne had a nice time making me her doll, pakai scarf, shades, snow cap, hat, ape lagy.
then gelak cm gila. lempang br tau. (ayat je lebih, if ur reading this anne) huhu.

owh yea, we were in nose, wa was searching for heels, then aqasha d actor came in. wif his gf kot.
muka pancit, tak larat. masuk2 je trus duduk kat seats. then kene blah dah, n his face showed dis words within :

nak gerak dah ke?
br je duduk ni wehhh.
haihhhhhh.
patah tulang tongkeng.
(i think those were d words kot)
cuma he kept silent aje.

adoyh. br tau rasa cmner shop wif girls. mcm siot je penat kaki. takde ke kedai jual kaki spare ah? nak kene beli a few pairs lah. coz shop wif girls ni serious memenatkan. n i didnt shop pon. tgk aje. (takde duit)

then makan. i came n anne dah abes makan. (siot monster makan laju) hahahaha. she always simpan her eating action away from me. (awat, cuak kene bahan ke anne? huhu)
n wa plak nafsu je besar, perut takde la besar mana. (wallet besar juga) so she bought yummy steak. n i (taknak membazir) helped her through it. ALHAMDULILLAH. O=)

n lepas tu, balik kot. dengan penuh terpaksanye, dan diorg penuh selambenye ikut to parking lot (hahahahaha), kena lah hantar diorg to shah alam. adoyhhhhh.
nasib baik bg duit tol. kalo tak dah eject jauh2. (hahahahahaha)

still, it was a nice day. tho penat. siot korg fit gle bab2 shopping ni. huhu.

moral of d story:

girls are very expressive creatures when it comes to hot characters in d screen.
girls are very strong legged creatures.
girls are lock n loaded in their pockets.

n guys hanya tgk n say;
yes, nice, amek la.
jom makan
dah? jom balik. (yippeeee)

=)

melodies of life

dis is a very nice song
haha

try lah dengar
wanna sing along pon bolehhhhh
huhu

XD

Alone for a while I've been searching through the dark
   For traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart
   To weave by picking up the pieces that remain
   Melodies of life--love's lost refrain
   
   Our paths they did cross, though I cannot say just why
   We met, we laughed, we held on fast, and then we said goodbye
   And who'll hear the echoes of stories never told?
   Let them ring out loud till they unfold
   In my dearest memories, I see you reaching out to me
   Though you're gone, I still believe that you can call out my name
   
  * A voice from the past, joining yours and mine
    Adding up the layers of harmony
    And so it goes, on and on
    Melodies of life,
    To the sky beyond the flying birds--forever and beyond
   
   So far and away, see the bird as it flies by
   Gliding through the shadows of the clouds up in the sky
   I've laid my memories and dreams upon those wings
   Leave them now and see what tomorrow brings
   
   In your dearest memories, do you remember loving me?
   Was it fate that brought us close and now leaves me behind?
   
  * Repeat
   
   If I should leave this lonely world behind
   Your voice will still remember our melody
   Now I know we'll carry on
   Melodies of life
   Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts
   As long as we remember

weyh weyh, whey weyh~

d other day, amoi (bukan nama sebenar hafizah amadzun) told me dat d ITGS kids told us dat CHOKI-CHOKI is not good for health as it is made from d intestine of cows. well, i've heard of dis matter so many times already and gladly my mom told me d story behind dis actually.

so here's d idea weyh.

d main reason for d statement from d ITGS kids is becoz choki-choki had d ingredient WHEY POWDER in it.

what is whey powder?

whey powder comes from milk, and is a by product in which d coagulation of milk separates them into two : liquid (whey) and solid (curd), in which the curd is later becomes the cheese.

so basically, whey is ok to be eaten, as it is actually milk from goat, cow, buffalo, or sheep.

so kawan2, jangan risau lah nak makan choki2. whey is actually safe. :) since the ITGS kids said it originates from cows.

BUT

there's some slight technical problems nowadays.

in separating the milk to curd and whey, they need enzymes, or acids, to coagulate it. so, they usually use rennet enzyme , or we usually know it as rennin.

so here's d catch. my mom told me dat in large industries, they tend to use dis enzymes.
these enzymes are usually of cow and calf origin.

1.

we might not know how d cow or calf have been slaughtered. is it slaughtered? or is it not?
halal ke haram? baca bismillah ke x?

2.

my mom said when she studied food tech dulu, she knew dat certain industries might use rennin from pig origin.
in which for sure haram lahhhhhhhhhh.

so, now.
we don't really know d status of d food, whether it is halal or not.
whether d enzyme is of which origin.
whether the way of getting the enzyme is ryte or wrong.

halal?
haram?
kita tak tau, but antara halal dan haram
ialah syubhah.

syubhah ialah status antara halal dan haram, so kita tak tau exactly boleh ke tak.
ada 10 keburukan perkara2 syubhah, seperti dalam kitab2 ulama' ada tertulis,
but i remembered 1 badness of syubhah :

gelap hati.

so to just play safe, we must be aware lah. perkara2 syubhah ni. check dulu apa kita makan tu, ingridients dia apa.
check whether ada whey powder or not. coz unsur2 syubhah tu dtg dr situ lah.
coz to produce whey, they need enzyme rennet. and if they use rennet, then dari situlah datang syubhah dia tu.

erm, check on many dairy and chocolate products la.
such as ferrero rocher, mars, snickers etc.
choki2. =P

then kalo rajin do research on it.
coz sometimes they dun use rennet, industries use vegetable rennet, acid, etc.
which are not of mammal origin.
which is OK. =)

so people out there, i hope we will be more aware of what we eat.
coz after all, we are what we eat.

and kalo we eat benda2 haram,
neraka je bleh sucikan daging2 kita nih.
in which neraka tu sangat lah sakit kan.
ouch.

for more info on cheese, rennet, curd and whey, you can go to wikipedia here :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese

then look la for rennet, cheese, ethics n all.
search lah whatever u want pon.

wabillah hi taufiq.

pizza and cheese

to the malaysians out there, have u been listening to hitz.fm lately, as in today (26th Nov)? in case u did noy, well here's d news. its about these guys.

JJ and Rudy~

ok, its like this. in case u did not hear about it, JJ and Rudy would not be together anymore. what i meant was that they're goin separate ways. it's rudy. Rudy decided that he would try something different for a change. it's not that he's goin to leave hitz.fm, he's changing shifts. he's goin to the afternoon shift for hitz top 30 from 1-3pm ( i think) while JJ stays with the morning crew.Rudy said the shift changes starting next monday (1st Dec).

the thing is, things won't be the same again :( JJ rocks coz he has Rudy. and Rudy rocks coz he has JJ. who's goin to gotcha people in the morning now? cmon mannnnn. adoiiii. JJ said there is goin to be a new person in place of Rudy. but we know :

patah tumbuh hilang berganti
yang diganti tak sama dengan yang pergi

we know dat JJ would still rock the morning crew coz he always does. but try to imagine things this way :

superman and lois lane
imagine no lois lane. who would superman hug then in this scene?

dark knight and boy wonder
if there would be someone to replace robin,
would he be boy WONDER or boy BLUNDER?

Al and Genie
if Al rubbed the lamp, who would come out of the lamp if there's no Genie?
u want iago to come out of the lamp?

they opened slots for callers to voiced out their thoughts on the shift change. and many expressed their grief and sadness. but its Rudy's choice. so we have to support and respect him.

i loved one of the simile one of the callers told JJ and Rudy on how they complimented each other. yeah, i agree. :)

JJ & RUDY,
you guys are like pizza and cheese.
evenly tasty and delightful in separate plates,
but the combo rocks best in the same pan~

anyways, all the best JJ and Rudy. :)

swimming in the deep blue ocean

so today, i've come to a topic on swimming. in the deep blue ocean. swimming is a great activity, it keeps us healthy and all. but there's always danger in d ocean and everything in it can be dangerous.

the ocean is wide and deep.

the ocean is wide. it is also deep. we need knowledge and skills if we are to discover its true value. we need to know how to swim. know how to dive. know how to float. know the weather. know soo many things in between. if we have these skills, we might then come out of the ocean alive.

look at this baby swimming for d dollar bill.

the ocean contains many unknown treasure. there's so many wealth in it. to put it simple, there's piles and piles of dollar bills in it, just waiting to be exploited and grabbed. but in order to do so, we need to be able to survive the ocean itself. coz like i said before, the ocean is deep.

let's take d baby picture as an example. do we rilli think dat the baby can actually survive in the water like dat? can d baby swim? even if the baby got hold of the money, can he actually come out alive? its lucky dat he can reach d money, since the money is not that deep in the ocean yet. wat if the money was already at the bottom of d ocean?

usually the greatest treasures lie at the bottom of the ocean. how can we get there, and get out, alive? such interesting questions ryte?

well, dis is my main point actually.

lautan dunia ini mmg luas,
dan memang banyak khazanah di dalamnya.

namun, lebih luas lagi lautan ilmu Allah.
serta lautan ilmu hadith dan sunnah Rasulullah.

lautan ilmu Allah yang tidak bertepian, tidak ada dasarnya.
tanpa batasan.
serta lautan ilmu Rasullah.
di mana perbandingan ilmu seluruh makhluk kepada ilmu Baginda,
bagai sebutir pasir dan lautan pasir mengelilinginya.

if we wish for the pearls of knowledge that lies at the bottom of the sea,
can we actually survive the bottomless sea of knowledge that Allah owns?
or even the extremely broad knowldge of Nabi Muhammad?

without help, skills, and power,
we'll die.
drown.
lost in d depths of the ocean.

Allah ada berfirman which translates something like this :

berapa ramai yang masuk neraka, kerana Al-Quran itu sendiri.

in another firman which translates sumting like dis :

ingatlah apabila kamu mentafsir al-Quran dengan akal semata-mata, tempat kamu ialah neraka.

so, SITI SYAZWANI FICKRY,
i hope this can asnwer ur question,
what if a person does not want to stick to a mazhab,
n only wishes to use al-Quran n sunnah.

coz d 4 imam of mazhab is like professional divers.
professional swim coaches.
that can survive the deepest darkest depths of the sea of knowledge that Allah owns.
and the sea of knowledge Nabi Muhammad owns.

and they can present to us the greatest pearls our eyes have ever seen.

and we won't die because of the depths.
and still obtain those precious pearls of knowledge.

i hope this small article also answers anybody's confused mind out there.

wabillahi taufiq.

Jay.

semat sungguh issue2 dalam news paper nowadays

okay today i had 3 free periods, all of d teachers went to mumbai. (seronok wehh) so i spent the first period studying... d news paper. so i happened to read some articles as below. it was in the NST, 24TH NOV. so here are the topics. i guess u might wanna read it. its very.... interesting. (i guess lah)

hey muslims out there, cant u read?

ok, here's d main heat in malaysia today. its about the yoga thing. ok, so fatwa council said so, HARAM. woi semat, its haram. tak reti2 ke? do we really think dat the fatwa council consist of a bunch of birdbrains like us? they are people with knowledge. its their field, islamic studies. they have hujah, dalil, sebab, semua lah. they are more expert in this field than us.
Nabi bersabda maksudnya :

kau lebih mengetahui atas urusan dunia kalian

so, diorg ni mmg expert in this field. so kita yang tak reti sepatah ape ni, jahil pasal agama, ada hati nak question d fatwa? like a baby of an engineer, building toy blocks pon senget, ada hati nak kata his father's building yang senget?

why should we question? and bukannya dis pengharaman ni bertentangan dengan agama. better yet, dis is for our good. some might ask me why. so here's why.
we can compromise with culture, kebudayaan, but we cannot compromise with religion.
for example, kalo benda2 kebudayaan macam makan kuih bulan ke, makan ape ke, dat doesnt involve religion, its ok. islam allows it.

but

kalo benda2 berkaitan agama, no.

as for example, this yoga thing. yoga originates from hindu, having hindu elements. we cannot compromise dat. tanda murtad ada 3 kan : hati, perkataan, dan perbuatan. in this aspect of discussion, we're doing a practice of another religion. no, islam does not allow dis semat.

and getting on to hindu. (ni yang panas nihhhhhhh) i quote from d article above :

datuk vaithilingam said using the word haram in barring Muslims from practicing yoga was uncalled for. he said in a multiracial, multi-religious country, the FATWA COUNCIL SHOUD BE MORE SENSITIVE IN ITS CHOICE OF WORDS.

"instead, they should have used words like unsuitable for Muslims. the word haram could have been avoided"
said dis semat hindu guy, president of hindu sangam.

ya ALLAH~!!!! sumpah panas weh ngan statement ni. dis guy is telling our fatwa council dat we should not use haram? then nak pakai apa, TABOO? cmon lah weh, its our religion, not urs. korg nak yoga ke, ape ke, itu hak korg lah, agama korg. jangan kacau agama org lah.

i speak on dis based on our daily favourite surah lazim, surah al kafirun which translates :

[1]

Katakanlah (wahai Muhammad): “Hai orang-orang kafir!

[2]
“Aku tidak akan menyembah apa yang kamu sembah.
[3]
“Dan kamu tidak mahu menyembah (Allah) yang aku sembah.
[4]
“Dan aku tidak akan beribadat secara kamu beribadat.
[5]
“Dan kamu pula tidak mahu beribadat secara aku beribadat.
[6]
“Bagi kamu ugama kamu, dan bagiku ugamaku”.

adoii. terang2 lagy, sejak dulu lagy, inilah yang ALLAH AJAR to NABI MUHAMMAD, how to answer these kind of people. so MUSLIMS, we have our own faith n guide. so biar je agama lain tu.

still, if people are still ignorant (which usually happens), then biar aje lah.
sebab ALLAH ade kata, which sounds sumting like dis :

kau nak buat ape, buatlah. tapi INGAT. kelak kau akan diperhitungkan.

so still up for yoga? sila2. jangan segan2.

ps/ i want yogi2. kat carrefour slalu ada. sedap seh.. not more than 2 bux plak tu. huhu.
ps/s - yogi2 tu ice cream lahhhhhh.

i hope dis post wud help us muslims. coz i always remembered people saying,

when islam was in a confrontation, wat did u do to help?

so if some1 asked me whether i helped or not, i guess i tried my best.
much apologies.

wabillah hi taufiq.

funny words that actually means alot

kobe n gasol warming d bench
no challenge i guess?

ok here's d deal. i've been reading comments on nba.com on teams n all.
so yeah lakers have been thrasing ppl around dis days. n they needs a challenge.
as a laker fan, i guess i'll be looking forward to see their game sometime during hols. (cepat la cuti wehhhhhhhhhhh~!)

so here's d article on d rampaging lakers. note some of the funny phrases that actually reflects reality tho. =)

LOS ANGELES -- Attention to the 29 teams in the National Basketball Association that don't have Jack Nicholson sitting courtside at your home games: Can one of you please show up and give the Lakers a game?

Los Angeles is now 10-1 thanks to a 104-90 dismantling of a Nuggets team that was supposedly retooled, revamped and renewed thanks to the addition of Chauncey Billups.

Strange, it looked like the same old Denver team that lost 4-0 to L.A. in the First Round of last year's playoffs to me.

You remember that series, where the Lakers not just swept, but undressed the Nuggets in four games? L.A. averaged 114.75 points in that series, outscoring the Nuggets by an average of 13.25 points per game and giving Denver the title as the only 50-win team ever to exit the playoffs via the help of a broom in the First Round.

Allen Iverson, Marcus Camby and Carmelo Anthony's cornrows are gone from that squad, but the dejected Nuggets team that exited STAPLES Center on Friday looked nothing like the confident, 8-4 group that came in.

The Lakers have a way of doing that to you. Especially when Bryant is scoring 29 points on 12-for-18 shooting without playing a minute in the fourth quarter, Andrew Bynum is putting up 13 points, 13 rebounds and matching a career high with five assists and Trevor Ariza is beating the shotclock with a rainbow three-point heave in the fourth quarter to swell a 14-point lead into a 17-point drubbing.

"We just had a tough night," Billups (15 points, nine assists) said as he addressed the media while his teammate Anthony sat slumped over with his head in his hands for a good 20 minutes in the next locker over. "That team is just a really, really good team. They don't let you do what you want to do. That's what great teams do. They're long, they can play fast, they can play slow. We just had a rough night."

Anthony (5-for-19 shooting, 10 points, three turnovers) had the roughest night of all which Lakers head coach Phil Jackson attributed to his team's focus on the budding star. "[The key was] not giving him opportunities," Jackson said. "Getting a body on him when he has the basketball. Turning him to the baseline. Trying to keep him from the middle."

The Nuggets didn't look anything like the team that came into the game riding a four-game winning streak that included a road victory over the Celtics and was carrying a 7-1 mark with Billups at the point.

They looked more like the Blazers, Clippers or Rockets -- all of whom fell by double digits at the hands of L.A.'s dynamic defense and terrific triangle.

The only blemish on the Lakers' record is that 106-95 loss to Detroit that happened a week ago, but L.A. was able to block that out of its memory almost as soon as the final buzzer sounded, chalking up the outcome to "Detroit just got hot, you can't do anything about that" and pushing forward.

Baron Davis called the Lakers "a machine" earlier in the season and if L.A. was an Apple IIc back when Davis made the comment a couple weeks ago, it's become a Mac PowerBook G4 by now. The first time L.A. played Denver in just its third game of the season, the Lakers needed 14 points from Bryant in the fourth quarter to pull off the road win. On Friday the guys in purple and gold were already up by 21 points heading into the final quarter and thus no Bryant bailout was necessary.

The Lakers' 10-1 start matches the pace that of the record-setting 72-10 Chicago Bulls, who started 1995-96 with the same mark.

"They have a lot of weapons, they have their offensive weapons and they've turned themselves into a pretty good defensive team ... most of the games have been double digits and they're stream rolling the whole league right now," Nuggets coach George Karl said.

After not playing particularly sharp but still flattening the Suns on Thursday, the second night of a back-to-back on Friday was precise domination. The Lakers finished off the Nuggets worse than that turkey in the background of the Sarah Palin interview that has been making the rounds on the Internet.

It only seems to get easier for L.A. The Lakers next nine games against the Nets, Mavericks, Raptors, Pacers, Sixers, Wizards, Bucks and Kings (twice) are against teams with a combined record of 38-64 (.373) and none of them have a record better than .500 as of Nov. 21.

It's feasible that L.A. might not face a worthy adversary in its next 17 games remaining leading up to the highly-anticipated Finals rematch with Boston on Christmas day. Only four teams in that stretch have records above .500: the Suns, who L.A. easily disposed of on Thursday; the Knicks, who completely overhauled their roster today and will probably experience some growing pains finding their chemistry over the next couple weeks; the Hornets, who the Lakers already downed in New Orleans and who don't look as good as they were last season for whatever reason; and the Magic, who split their season series with the Lakers last year but don't have the bench that can match L.A.'s depth.

"We are just excited every time that we step on the floor, ready for the new challenge," Bryant said after the game.

Challenge? Really? Kobe, you guys led by 27 points in the first half on Friday. That's not a challenge, that's a charity.

I propose we get a time machine, go back to 1996 and get shaved Phil Jackson to coach against bearded Phil Jackson, Michael Jordan and the Bulls so that these Lakers can play against an opponent that actually presents a challenge.

Is that too much to ask?
