You Want A Long Live, But What About The Inside?

In the name of Allah, The Most Compassionate and The Most Merciful..


First of all, thank you Allah for giving me the strength to move my fingers and push the keyboard, so that this blog won't be such a waste. Secondly, thank you Allah for giving me everything-ideas, guidance, moments, ect. , ect., ect..-so that this blog won't be such a waste. Finally, thank you Allah for menggerakkan hati ini untuk berkongsi so that this blog won't be such a waste. Haha. Finally, thank you Allah.


Tajuk post kali ni macam fening sikit. Tapi pada siapa yg dapat tangkap maksud tersirat dan tersurat tu, tahniah la diucapkan..:) Actually, niat nak menulis tu ada, tapi mood nak membebel xde. Macam mane tu? Entahlah. Ditambah dengan mulut yg bengkak (it almost 2 days that I haven't take those cetirizine hydrochloride), memang rasa macam nak layan mata je. Somehow, really need to do something in order to prevent this blog from 'bersawang'...hehe..


"Gelak tawa tangisan yang hiba
Kenangan kita masa di dunia
Alangkah indahnya jika
Kita mampu hidup selamanya"


Alangkah indahnya jika kita mampu hidup selamanya? 


Apa yg indahnya? 


Indah ke hidup selamanya? 


Apa guna jasad je yg hidup tapi hati mati? 


Boleh ke jasad hidup tapi hati mati? 


Macam mana hati boleh mati? 





10 Causes of The Death Of Qalbun 


"Kamu yakin pada Allah, tetapi kamu tidak memenuhi hak-Nya"


When we ask, "Do you believe in Allah?", most Muslims (Malaysian especially) would say "sure". Tapi apa yg kita buat? Maksiat dah jadi rutin harian. Sedar mahupun tidak. Ibadah jauh sekali.  


"Time muda enjoy la dulu. Dah tua nanti baru taubat.." 


 Do we still hope for His forgiveness after all that we've done? Yes, Allah Maha Pengampun. Undeniable. But the question is, sempat ke sampai tua? 


"Kamu membaca Al-Quran, tetapi tidak mengamalkan kandungannya.."  


                               وَلاَ تَقْرَبُواْ الزِّنَى إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً  وَسَاء سبيلا
Dan janganlah kamu mendekati zina; sesungguhnya zina itu adalah suatu perbuatan yang keji. Dan suatu jalan yang buruk. (Al-Israa:32)


Rasanya ayat ni dah terang, jelas dan nyata dah. Zina tu haram. Tapi zaman sekarang zina tu perkara biasa. Perlu diingatkan di sini, zina ada macam2 jenis. Yg paling nak dihighlightkan,



"Couple itu zina"


"Eh, mane ade! Kitorang couple je. Tak buat benda2 x elok gitu." Ingat the actual zina tu je ke satu2nya zina? This couple thing will lead to zina hati laa.. When you started to love someone and miss him/her much more than what you give to Allah, there goes the zina hati. Sometimes, you don't have to be in the state of couple pun to get such a problem. As long as you have the symptoms (those with bold), you are said to get it. So, beware la ye kawan2. Couple itu zina, dan zina itu haram. And remember to practice all the teaches that is stated in the Al-Quran.


"Kamu mengaku cinta kepada Rasulullah SAW, tetapi kamu meninggalkan sunnahnya.."


Sesungguhnya Rasulullah SAW telah diturunkan bagi menyempurnakan kemuliaan akhlak. There's no any other man in the whole world that we should take as a role model. Rasulullah has left us his sunnah, as well as the Al-Quran; supaya umatnya tidak sesat. But the fact is, ramai umat akhir zaman ni yg mempersendakan sunnah Rasulullah. Xnak infaqkan harta sebab takut harta berkurang. Is that what we call love?


"Kamu mengaku memusuhi syaitan, tetapi kamu menurut kemahuannya.."

أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يَا بَنِي آدَمَ أَن لَّا تَعْبُدُوا الشَّيْطَانَ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِينٌ
Bukankah Aku telah memerintahkan kepadamu hai Bani Adam supaya kamu tidak menyembah syaitan? Sesungguhnya syaitan itu adalah musuh yang nyata bagi kamu"                                 (Yaa Sin:60) 


Everyone knows that. Syaitan adalah musuh yg nyata.Tapi ramai je yg main bomoh2, hantar pengeras and what-so-eva. Seems more like wanna be friend, isn't it?


"Kamu mengaku cintakan syurga, tetapi kamu tidak beramal untuk mendapatkannya.."


"Kamu takut pada neraka, tetapi kamu mengorbankan jiwa kamu padanya.."


For sure la. You rather go and queue for a MCR ticket than wait for azan subuh, or willingly to bersesak-sesak tengok konsert indie than mengimarahkan masjid. Memang 'PENGORBANAN' besar la...


"Kamu berkata, sesungguhnya kematian itu benar, tetapi kamu tidak mempersiapkan diri untuk menghadapinya.."


Mati itu pasti. Hidup insya-Allah. Orang yg paling bijak adalah orang yg mengingati mati. Rajin2lah berdoa supaya kita semua akan mendapat husnul khatimah... 


"Kamu sibuk dengan aib orang lain, tetapi kamu lupa dengan aib diri sendiri.."


Gossip. Gossip. Gossip. Orang Melayu memang sinonim la dengan jaga tepi kain orang. Don't just put the blame on female. Lelaki pun ada buat jugak. Remember: What goes around comes around, what goes up must comes down. So, jangan sampai aib orang datang balik kat kita pulak...


"Kamu memakan mengambil nikmat daripada Rabb-mu, tetapi kamu tidak mensyukurinya.."


وَلَهُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ وَمَشَارِبُ أَفَلَا يَشْكُرُونَ
Dan mereka memperoleh padanya manfaat-manfaat dan minuman. Maka mengapakah mereka tidak bersyukur?


Like I've said before, everything is a bless. Dah la banyak, free pulak tu. Kalau Allah mintak bayaran, seumur hidup punya gaji  pun belum tentu dapat bayar. Afala yashkurun?


"Kamu menguburkan orang-orang yang mati dalam kalangan kamu, tetapi kamu tidak mengambil pengajaran daripada mereka.."





Sakit hati ada 5 ubat..


Yang pertama baca Quran, faham ertinya..


Yang kedua solat sunat


Yang ketiga zikir malam




Yang keempat bergaullah dengan orang yg soleh


Yang kelima banyakkanlah berpuasa..

Pedang Yang Tak Terkalahkan 1

In the name of Allah, the most compassionate and the most merciful


Alhamdulillah, thank you Allah, kali ini sekali lagi blog ini dapat diselamatkan daripada dibiarkan bersawang begitu sahaja (hehehe). For those who have followed my writings atau pernah tersinggah di laman hitam-pink ini, thanks a lot guys for lending your eyes and minds. Tak banyak yang nak dicelotehkan, cuma hati terasa nak berkongsi. 


Movie is absolutely fun. Have you guys watched "Kingdom Of Heaven"? Kalau belum, silalah download atau pinjam daripada jiran sebelah especially for Orlando's fans (you're not yet his fan until you watch this). But still, that is not the main point. If u ever watched this movie, u could see how one of the actors (I never know his name) play the role of Salahuddin Al-Ayubi. I'm not gonna say that he did it perfectly because I do believe that the real Salahuddin is much much better, but still, I can see how brave our Muslim warriors used to be. Salahuddin is one of them, but i am more likely to write about this ever known hero, Khalid Ibn Al-Walid.


Dengar nama pun dah rasa gah kan? x taulah kalau korang xde rasa macam tu. Tp xpelah, hopefully, after u read this, u'll get something from him. Hero sepanjang zaman ni.. One of the most successful commanders in military history  just like Julius Caesar and Constantine during the Ancient Rome or Nicephorus II Phocas of the Byzantine Empire. Nak kata kat sini memang hebat la Khalid Al-Walid ni.. bukan senang tau nama nak kena catat dalam lipatan sejarah. Setakat kena catat kat dalam buku rekod disiplin sekolah tu perkara biasa..





Khalid Al-Walid, the Sword of Allah


Khalid Al-Walid is also known as Sayfullah Al-Maslul, or simply the Drawn Sword of Allah. Khalid ibn al-Walid was born around c. 592 in Mecca to Walid ibn al-Mughira, the chief of the Banu Makhzum clan of the Quraysh. He was also known in Mecca by the title of Al-Waheed- the Unique. Indeed, he was unique. Mengikut tradisi Quraisyh, selepas dilahirkan, Khalid telah diasuh oleh ibu angkatnya daripada keturunan Arab Badwi yang tinggal di gurun. Beliau hanya kembali kepada ibu bapanya yang tinggal di Mekah apabila beliau berusia usia 5 atau 6 tahun. As a member of the tribe of Makhzum, who had specialized in warfare, and who were amongst the best horsemen in Arabia, Khalid learned to ride and use weapons like the spear, the lance, the bow, and the sword as a child. Lance being his favorite weapon which he frequently used in cavalry charges and he became very good at it naturally. In youth he was admired as a renowned warrior and wrestler among the Quraysh. He once wrestled with Umar Al-Khattab and broke Umar's leg. I guess that's how he grown up to be a great warrior ever. 



Semasa perang pertama dalam sejarah Islam; Perang Badar, Khalid tidak turut serta. Tetapi, salah seorang saudaranya, Walid bin Al-Walid telah dijadikan tawanan perang. Khalid bersama abang sulungnya, Hafsham bin Al-Walid telah pergi ke Madinah untuk menebus Walid. But, on the way back to Makkah, Walid had escaped and went back to Rasulullah SAW to convert Islam.Prophet Mohammad is reported to have said to him:
If he (Khalid) put his matchless vigor on our side, we will give him preference over others.
Khalid's brother wrote him a letter and told him about what Rasulullah SAW had said about him. Khalid had begun to ponder deeply on religious matters, he decided to accept Islam and shared it with his friend Ikrimah ibn Abi-Jahl who opposed him. Khalid was threatened by Abu Sufyan ibn Harb with dire consequences, but was restrained by Ikrimah. That night Khalid took his armour, weapons and horse, and set out for Medina. On the way he met 'Amr ibn al-'As and Uthman ibn Talha who were also going to Medina to accept Islam. They arrived at Medina on May 31, 629 and went to the house of Prophet Muhammad. Khalid was received by his elder brother Walid bin Walid and was first among the three men to convert Islam. That's the first part of the story of how he was given the hidayah to choose Islam as the way of his life. 


3 bulan selepas kedatangan Khalid Al-Walid ke Madinah, Rasulullah SAW telah menghantar surat melalu utusan ke Ghassanid untuk mengajak chieftain-nya menerima Islam. Semasa melalui kawasan yang dikenali sebagai Mu'tah, utusan ini telah dihalang dan dibunuh oleh chieftain Ghassanid by the name of Shurahbil ibn Amr. Peristiwa ini telah membangkitkan kemarahan penduduk Madinah. 


An expedition was immediately prepared to take punitive action against the Ghassanids. Rasulullah SAW appointed Zayd ibn Harithah as the commander of the force. In the event of Zayd's death, the command was to be taken over by Ja`far ibn Abī Tālib, and if Jafar were to be killed, the command would be in the hands of `Abd Allah ibn Rawahah. In the event that all three were killed, the men of the expedition were to select a commander from amongst themselves. During the battle, the three named commanders were slain, and Khalid was selected as the commander. He was able to maintain his army of 3,000 soldiers against a massive army of the Byzantine Empire and Ghassanid Arabs in what we'd known as the Battle of Mu'tah. The size of the combined forces of Ghassanid and Byzantines is recorded in early sources at an estimated 200 000. 


Kalau kita fikir-fikirkan, macam mana 3000 orang nak lawan dengan 200 000 orang? Bunyi macam x aci je kan. Unfair. But believe me, there is no war during the era that the number of Islamic army is bigger than their opponents. So how they could manage to win against those huge number of trained army? Jawapannya ialah tentera Islam ada strategi yang tersusun. and the most important of all is the faith they had. Tentera Islam waktu tu ada pegangan akidah yang sangat mantap sampai diorang tau apa tujuan diorang berperang. Diorang sentiasa yakin dengan janji Allah bahawa ada balasan syurga yang menanti bagi orang-orang yang menegakkan syariat Allah di muka bumi ni. That one is like a booster for them so x hairanlah kalau 300 orang pun boleh kalahkan 1000 orang dalam Perang Badar. 



مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ رِجَالٌ صَدَقُوا مَا عَاهَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِ فَمِنْهُم مَّن قَضَى نَحْبَهُ وَمِنْهُم مَّن يَنتَظِرُ وَمَا بَدَّلُوا تَبْدِيلاً


Di antara orang-orang mu'min itu ada orang-orang yang menepati apa yang telah mereka janjikan kepada Allah; maka diantara mereka ada yang gugur. Dan di antara mereka ada (pula) yang menunggu- nunggu dan mereka tidak merubah (janjinya)Maksudnya menunggu apa yang telah Allah janjikan kepadanya.
(Al-Ahzab 33:23)




Satu persoalan,
Adakah kita menunaikan janji kepada Allah sekalipun kita yakin akan janji Allah kepada kita?
