tired
i'm so tired of being here.
Sunday, September 4
Aku tak faham.
kenapa nak cakap segala aktiviti kat facebook? nak berak? nak makan? nak mandi? nak basuh baju? nak tidur? pergi je lah. nak report kat siapa? takde org tanya pun.
kenapa mesti beritahu segala jenis perasaan kat status facebook? emo? stress? sedih? happy? tak cukup kasih sayang ke? nak perhatian orang ramai? kalau happy takpe lah nak share. kalau sedih atau emo luahkan lah kat orang yang sudi dengar. kalau takde, luahkan secara kreatif, yang boleh lah jugak 'benefit' orang awam. (macam aku, post lagu banyak2, boleh laa jugak org dengar lagu2 best. haha)
kenapa mesti tunjuk gambar kau dengan 'pakwe/makwe' yang sangat 'sweet' banyak2, lepas tu siap berinteraksi secara meloyakannya di tempat orang awam boleh melihat? jijik lah. aku rasa married couple pun tak buat macam tu.
sape nak fire aku balik, fire lah. aku tahu wing chun.

post puasa tahun ini
Salam Alayk.
(Masa yang diwajibkan kamu berpuasa itu ialah) bulan Ramadan yang padanya diturunkan Al-Quran, menjadi petunjuk bagi sekalian manusia, dan menjadi keterangan-keterangan yang menjelaskan petunjuk dan (menjelaskan) perbezaan antara yang benar dengan yang salah. Oleh itu, sesiapa dari antara kamu yang menyaksikan anak bulan Ramadan (atau mengetahuinya), maka hendaklah ia berpuasa bulan itu; dan sesiapa yang sakit atau dalam musafir maka (bolehlah ia berbuka, Kemudian wajiblah ia berpuasa) sebanyak hari yang ditinggalkan itu pada hari-hari yang lain. (Dengan ketetapan yang demikian itu) Allah menghendaki kamu beroleh kemudahan, dan Ia tidak menghendaki kamu menanggung kesukaran. Dan juga supaya kamu cukupkan bilangan puasa (sebulan Ramadan), dan supaya kamu membesarkan Allah kerana mendapat petunjukNya, dan supaya kamu bersyukur.
(Al-Baqarah: 185)
Sebut sahaja Ramadhan tentu banyak perkara yang mula bermain di fikiran: puasa, tarawikh, sedekah, raya, bazaar, sahur, dan paling utama, makanan yang berbagai. Biasa. Bagi sesetengah orang pula, bulan Ramadhan adalah satu bulan yang dinanti-nanti kerana segala amalan yang dilakukan dalam bulan itu, Allah beri ganjaran berlipa-lipat ganda. Maka golongan ini akan banyak melakukan amalan-amalan sunat. Yang tidak pernah ke masjid, pada bulan Ramadhan lah rajin ke masjid dengan tidak semena-mena. Alhamdulillah. Baguslah kan?
Sabda Rasulullah s.a.w :
“(Allah s.w.t berfirman) : Sesungguhnya dia (hamba) meninggalkan makan dan minum serta syahwatnya kerana-KU. Puasa (yang dia kerjakan adalah) kerana-KU. Puasa adalah untuk-KU. Sedangkan, AKU memberi balasan setiap kebaikan itu dengan sepuluh kali ganda sehingga 700 kali ganda kecuali ibadah puasa. Ini kerana, ia (puasa) adalah untuk-KU dan (sudah tentu) AKU sendiri yang akan memberi balasannya”
“(Allah s.w.t berfirman) : Sesungguhnya dia (hamba) meninggalkan makan dan minum serta syahwatnya kerana-KU. Puasa (yang dia kerjakan adalah) kerana-KU. Puasa adalah untuk-KU. Sedangkan, AKU memberi balasan setiap kebaikan itu dengan sepuluh kali ganda sehingga 700 kali ganda kecuali ibadah puasa. Ini kerana, ia (puasa) adalah untuk-KU dan (sudah tentu) AKU sendiri yang akan memberi balasannya”
(Diriwayatkan oleh Imam Malik dalam al-Muwaththa’, Kitab al-Shiyam – no: 603)
Tidak lupa juga kepada yang betul-betul menghayati bulan Ramadhan dengan mengingati dan ‘melibatkan’ diri dengan peristiwa-peristiwa yang berlaku pada bulan mulia ini ketika zaman Rasulullah SAW dulu. Perang badar, contohnya. Memikirkan nabi dan para sahabat suatu ketika dahulu berperang sewaktu berpuasa memberikan semangat kepada mereka untuk melakukan kerja-kerja harian. Untuk berjihad di bidang masing-masing. Ramadhan juga merupakan satu bulan yang mana di turunkan kitab suci al-Quran di dalamnya. Wujud juga golongan yang akan banyak membaca al-Quran sepanjang bulan ramadhan.
TAHUKAH ANDA, AL-QURAN DITURUNKAN DALAM BULAN RAMADHAN?

transformation 101
Salam alayk.
In need of self-transformation? But no idea how?
Here are a few steps that can be your guidelines:
1. Understand your reason.
Why do you want to change? To impress someone? Tired of living like you are living right now? You decide. But the ultimate reason for changing is of course because of Allah. Because with that, you get reward not only here, but in the hereafter just as well, insyaAllah. And one thing about changing for the sake of Allah is that your reason is always there, so the chances of you having second thoughts are reduced to almost nil. When you want to change because you like someone and trying to impress him or her, he or she might go away, or taken or die. When that happens, your reason to change is gone. So you won’t change anymore. Which is bad, if you are actually planning a change for the better.
On the authority of Omar bin Al-Khattab, who said : I heard the messenger of Allah salla Allah u alihi wa sallam say:
"Actions are but by intention and every man shall have but that which he intended. Thus he whose migration was for Allah and His messenger, his migration was for Allah and His messenger, and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take some woman in marriage, his migration was for that for which he migrated."
2. Aim.
How would you want yourself to be like? What part of you do you want to change? Aims would drive you to where you want to be. It is also aim that determines what you have to do in order to carry out the change. That is why aim is something crucial, without which, you would be lost. Maybe you were someone with bad mouth odour, and you want to change that. So you will have to practice oral hygiene even more religiously, like brush your teeth after every meal. Or something like that. Another instance is that you are someone with ‘bad-tongue’ in that you like to talk bad about others. Realising this is a mistake, you want to change it. Because of Allah. You know He does not like it. So you will have to keep your tongue busy with good things like zikir.
3. Effort.
Here comes the most important and hardest step. Now that you know your reason, and you have set your goal, it is time to work it out. No use planning without actually putting it into actions, yes? This is entirely up to you.
For each one are successive [angels] before and behind him who protect him by the decree of Allah . Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves. And when Allah intends for a people ill, there is no repelling it. And there is not for them besides Him any patron. [ar-ra’d : 11]
Taking the previous instance, ‘bad-tongue’, your effort will be keeping your tongue busy with good deeds like zikr. That way you will not have much free time to talk about other people. And always remind yourself about the change that you want to make. That will prevent you from doing what you always do. Resist the temptation of carrying out this bad habit. Pray that Allah will make it easy for you and that He will help you through it. Remember that He is always there.
And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible. [ghafir:60]
The thing about changing for the better is that it is never easy. No one says it is. It is always hard to even begin, let alone keeping it within you for the rest of your life. But know this: the first step is always the hardest, the first cut is always the deepest. As you go along, you will actually doing it without even realising it. It is indeed your habit. Say, do you remember when you first perform you solat? Did it occur to you that you were once forced to do it, and at the beginning you did it reluctantly? Look at yourself now. I bet you perform your solat without having people to remind you anymore. So when you have reached your goal, remember to look back to where you were and see yourself now, not to be proud of yourself, but to be grateful that Allah has actually help you through it. And now that you are a new you, it is time to help others that might still trapped with the’ you’ that you once were.
And those who strive for Us - We will surely guide them to Our ways. And indeed, Allah is with the doers of good. [Al-ankabut : 69]

Building and Destroying
Salam alayk.
Consider these :
A - Lego skyscraper.
building time : >10 minutes. with full effort, that when you finished, you got tired. literally. and satisfied.
destroying time: < 1 minute. one hit only. done.
B - Real skyscraper. the one involved in 9/11. i forgot the name.
building time: who cares, but im sure it took a few years. with full effort.
destroying time : a few hours. < one day for sure. one or two plane crashes. done.
C- Relationship
building time : depends
destroying time : less than building time
D - Rapport
building time : depends
destroying time : less than building time
now question. why is it something built so hard and took so long, can be destroyed so easily?
