Analogi sebatang mancis dengan gunung

Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters

Problem!! Problem!!

Analogi sebatang mancis dengan gunung

“Anak mancis dan Gunung

Besar beza saiz keduanya ni!! Mana lagi besar?

MANCIS!!!!!!

dan inilah yang berlaku kepada kita sekarang ni.” ( korang kene bc smpai abes br faham anology ni)

Sabda Rasulullah S.A.W,

"Sesiapa yang menjadikan akhirat sebagai kerisauannya maka Allah S.W.T akan memperkayakan hatinya dan harta benda dunia akan datang kepadanya dalam keadaan tunduk dan hina, dan sesiapa yang menjadikan dunia sebagai kerisauannya, Allah S.W.T akan menjadikan kemiskinan terbayang-bayang di hadapannya dan dia akan diselubungi kesusahan. Dia tidak akan mendapat di dunia lebih daripada apa-apa yang telah ditakdirkan."

Hadith riwayat Ibnu majah dan Tirmizi.

Dewasa ini, setiap manusia, tidak kira muslim atau non- muslim kesemuanya mempunyai masalah peribadi yang tersendiri. Seorang pelajar sibuk dengan pelajarannya, pekerja dengan permasalahan pekerjaannya, ibu dengan urusan rumah tanggannya dll. Pendek kata, setiap orang disibukkan dengan sesuatu.

Hari ini, kita amat terkesan dengan suasana. Pelajar sibuk memikirkin bagaimana meningkatkan CGPA,, seorang ayah memikirkan bagaimana mahu menjana ekonomi tambahan, sebuah syarikat mahu memajukan perniagaannya dan sebagainya. Why??

Kerana umumnya kita sentiasa sibuk mengatakan perkara sebegini setiap masa dan keadaan. We emphasize the importance of those thing every single day. Acapkali kita dibayangkan oleh janji-janji keduniaan, dan ianya menjadi ucapan sehari-hari

:::: Duit, pangkat, harta, kekayaan, kecantikan

:::: kerje sekian-sekian, dapat gaji hujung bulan

:::: belajar pandai-pandai, dapat kerja bagus

:::: Wat itu dan ini, akan dapat sesuatu at the end of the day

Tp kte mungkin lupe dan kurang mendengar janji-janji Allah. Jarang-jarangnya kita mendengar tentang perkara ghaibl ; wujudnya mizan, titian sirat, syurga, neraka dan sebagainya. Dalam percakapan sehari-hari, kita lebih banyak bercakap kelebihan dan kehebatan perkara keduniaan tanpa dapat melihat kesemua perkara ini adalah kudrat kekuatan dan kehebatan Allah s.w.t.

laki-laki dan perempuan yang banyak menyebut (nama) Allah, Allah telah menyediakan untuk mereka ampunan dan pahala yang besar. Al-Ahzab:21

Yes, worldly matters truly are our problem. No doubt. Tapi, sedar atau tidak, kesemua ini hanyalah masalah kecil.

“What, small problem!!!! Small problems in which with tawajjuh to Allah and necessary action taken, insyaAllah will be solved. ermm, so what is our main concern?”

permasalahan yang besar ialah akhirat kita, iaitu kehidupan yang kekal abadi.

Hadis Riwayat Imam at Tirmizi

عَنْ شَدَّادِ بْنِ أَوْسٍعَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الْكَيِّسُ مَنْ دَانَ نَفْسَهُ وَعَمِلَ لِمَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَالْعَاجِزُ مَنْ أَتْبَعَ نَفْسَهُ هَوَاهَا وَتَمَنَّى عَلَى اللَّهِ

“Ketahuilah bahwa kehidupan dunia hanyalah permainan dan pelalaian, dan perhiasan, dan bermegah-megahan antara kamu, dan persaingan dalam harta benda dan anak-anak. Seperti perumpamaan hujan yang tanamannya menakjubkan orang-orang yang ingkar, kemudian ia menjadi kering, maka engkau melihatnya menguning, kemudian ia menjadi hancur. Dan di akhirat ada siksaan yang keras, dan keampunan dari Tuhan, dan keridhaan. Dan tiadalah kehidupan dunia itu selain kesenangan yang menipu.” (Quran 57:20)

Hari ini, kita lemas dengan kehendak nafsu kita. Kita lupa orang yang bijak menjadikan dunia sebagai ladang dan jambatan untuk menyampaikan ke akhiratnya. Sebagaimana disebutkan di dalam sebuah hadith :-

Dunia ini ibarat ladang. Di sinilah tempat kita bercucuk tanam. Hasilnya akan kita tuai di Akhirat.

Dari Syaddaad bin Aus dari Nabi صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ baginda telah bersabda Orang yang cerdik ialah orang yang bermuhasabah diri dan ia beramal untuk hari-hari selepas mati Orang yang lemah ialah mereka mengikut hawa nafsunya dan ia berangan-angan keatas Allah

---

Berbalik kepada anologi diatas, mancis( permasalahan dunia)-gunung( permasalahn akhirat)

Hari ini, kerana kurangnya fikir agama, kita dilalaikan dengan kehendak keduniaan atau permasalah kedunian kita semata-mata dengan lupa melakukan kehendak agama.

Kenapa mancis dilihat besar?

Kerana tumpuan dan tawajjuh kita hanya pada melihat anak mancis di depan anak mata kita( Fokus melihat mancis depan mata, hampir-hampir menujah anak mata), permasalahan yang sedang kita lalui sehingga kita tidak nampak atau lupa gunung dibelakang mancis iaitu kehidupan akhirat kita , dimana samada kelazatan syurga atau azab neraka.

Dan (sungguh ngeri) sekiranya engkau melihat ketika orang-orang yang berdosa itu menundukkan kepalanya di hadapan Tuhan mereka (dalam keadaan malu dan hina, sambil merayu): "Wahai Tuhan kami, kami telah melihat dan mendengar dengan sejelas-jelasnya (akan segala yang kami ingkari dahulu); maka kembalikanlah kami ke dunia supaya kami mengerjakan amal-amal yang baik; sesungguhnya kami sekarang telah yakin". (As-Sajdah 32:12)

Hari ini, kita yakin dengan usaha kita sehingga tiada masa untuk bertawajjuh kepada Allah. Kita lupa dengan keimanan yang sempurna dan amalan agama akan dapat menarik bantuan Allah S.W.T dengan setiap perkara yang dilakukan. Why not, dapat Allah, dapat segala-galanya.

Take care all. Wallahua'lam. Wassalam.

Do We Wish?

Assalamualaikum w.b.t

Every year, even in Malaysia of multiracial and multireligious background, we have many celebrations and religious events. In this article, the subject of discussion is Christmas, which is celebrated by Christians (and nowadays by many non-Christians too) on the 25th of December every year across the globe.

An issue however arises. For Muslims, is it okay if we wish a Merry Christmas to our Christian friends? 

Well, I am not in the position to give the answer. But the following is a piece of thought, assisted by a number of reference I read and studied through, that I hope will help all of us clear the doubt and  so that we become more vigilant plus particular in every single thing that we do.

Please take note that I will elaborate on this topic based on 2 different resources I have referred to, one strictly against and the other provides substantial reasons why it is permissible to wish Merry Christmas.

Why can not?

We have to understand that while we Muslims and Christians both believe in  Jesus, or Prophet Isa a.s, there are some major differences between Islam and Christianity that we have to be absolutely clear about. The Christians do not only believe that Christmas is the day Jesus was born, but they misleadingly claim that it was the birth of the Son of God. This is where one of the major clashes exists.

In Islam, the Quran explicitly tells us that Allah does not beget, neither is He begotten. It is in Surah Al-Ikhlas, Chapter 112, verse number 3. Jesus is therefore, not Allah's son, but only another slave to Allah, just like us, except that he was chosen to be one of His messengers.

That is why the author argues that wishing a Merry Christmas or Selamat Hari Natal (in Malay) to the non-believers is regarded as an acknowledgement to the grave error they have made- believing that Allah has a son. So, we have to be careful, because when we say Merry Christmas or if we celebrate Christmas with them, are we actually agreeing to their belief when they assign a partner to Allah by making Jesus His son (and thus makes him another God)?

Do not get the message wrong. We in Islam are strongly encouraged to mingle well with all people which of course, include the non-Muslims, but when it comes to Tauhid (divine oneness), we should never compromise. In Surah Al-Kafirun,  Chapter 109, in the last Verse, it says, "To you be your way, and to me mine," suggesting that we can never mix the truth and falsehood together. That is why we are admonished to enter Islam fully. (2:208)

Remember that Allah has already given a stern warning regarding this matter whereby He said in Surah Al-Maryam, Chapter 19, Verses 88-90, "They say, "(Allah) Most Gracious has begotten a son!" Indeed you have put forth a thing most monstrous! At it the skies are ready to burst, the earth to split asunder, and the mountains to fall down in utter ruin."

Permissibility

Meanwhile, it is argued by another author that it is not a problem to greet somebody Merry Christmas as there is no verse in the Quran or any statement in Hadiths that explicitly forbid us to do so.

In fact, in Surah An-Nisa', Chapter 4, verse 86, Allah says that, "When a (courteous) greeting is offered you, meet it with a greeting still more courteous, or (at least) of equal courtesy. Allah takes careful account of all things."

The Merry Christmas greetings are deemed to be something that is not ritual, not an act of worship but rather a means of communicating good words to one another, which if that is the case, Islam has no problem with it.

Personally, alhamdulillah, as far as I can remember, I have never greeted anybody Merry Christmas, even on Facebook. What I usually did was merely asking how was their holiday or how's Christmas, which in a way shows how we are concerned about other people even though there are not Muslims, and more importantly, these days, such event (Christmas) is more to a get together time (where family members meet) just like Eidul Fitri for Muslims here in Malaysia. Therefore, Islam never puts us in trouble but is very tolerant when it comes to relationship with mankind, although being tolerant doesn't mean that we have to compromise. 

It is good however, as friends, we always have to be clear about our belief and where and when it necessitates, we explain to them the correct principle we hold in Islam, that Allah has no son, and Jesus is certainly not His son- in the most gracious manner and kind words of course. As Allah says this in the Quran, (29:46), "And dispute ye not with the People of the Book, except with means better (than mere disputation), unless it be with those of them who inflict wrong (and injury): but say, "We believe in the revelation which has come down to us and in that which came down to you; Our Allah and your Allah is one; and it is to Him we bow (in Islam)." 

Also, in Surah An-Nahl, Chapter 16, verse 125, Allah instructs us the following, "Invite (all) to the Way of your Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious; for your Lord knows best, who have strayed from His Path, and who receive guidance."

Conclusion

Again, I do not intend to give an absolute yes or no to the question of whether or not we can say Merry Christmas to our Christian friends as a courtesy in our friendly relationship, but personally I don't think there should be any problem with people doing it, though I at my best will always avoid it. 

Instead, there are always many alternatives, such as asking about their families and holidays, which by right is more meaningful if we think about it. The most important point we have to grasp from this article is that, for everything that Islam allows and forbids in this world, we have to abide by them because we believe in Allah, and it is tremendously important that we seek knowledge and never be judgemental without any proper investigation, let alone to be a blind follower.

I seek refuge, blessings and protection from Allah, may He always guide us to His straight path, and I seek forgiveness for any mistakes and weakness incurred from my article as I am just an ordinary guy, trying best to convey the true message of Islam, while at the same time, I too am learning.

Take care all. Wallahua'lam. Wassalam.

Extra Reading

In case you have some time to continue reading, here are 5 major beliefs in Christianity which are deemed false and contradictory for us in Islam. I hope it is helpful, especially in our understanding of Christianity, and therefore Islam.

1. Original Sin

According to them, we all inherit a sin from our great great grandparents Adam and Eve- known as original sin or ancestral sin. But Islam explains against this statement and the existence of original sin with the following few examples of verses from Quran.

a) "And if anyone earns sins, he earns it against his own soul: for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom." (Surah An-Nisa', 4:111)

b) "Who receives guidance, receives it for his own benefit: who goes astray does so to his own loss: no bearer of burdens can bear the burden of another: nor would We visit with Our Wrath until We had sent a messenger (to give warning)." (Surah Al-Isra', 17:15)

2. Sonship of Jesus

Again, Allah has stated very clearly in many verses in the Quran that He does not beget and is not begotten e.g in Surah Al-Ikhlas, (112:3).

As to the fact that Jesus was born without father so Allah must be his father, this argument is utterly misleading because Allah can create a man without a father if He wills it such. In fact, Prophet Adam was created without father and more interestingly, he had no mother too!

Moreover, Allah has explained in Surah Ali Imran, Chapter 3, verse 59 that "The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be": and he was."

3. Divinity of Jesus

The above leads to this third one i.e if Jesus is the son of God, so he must be a God too. If Jesus is God, then he is divine. But then again, this belief is an absolute mistake. Firstly, of course Jesus is not God because we have already stated earlier that he is not the son of God.

In Surah Al-Maidah, Chapter 5, Verse 117, "(Jesus said) Never said I to them aught except what You did command me to say, to wit, 'Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord'; and I was a witness over them whilst I dwelt amongst them; when You did take me up, You were the Watcher over them, and You are a witness to all things."

Obviously, if Jesus was a God, he would have not called Allah his God (Lord), and he would have asked the people to worship him too instead, if he was a God. But he didn't, because he was not a God, but a messenger of Allah.

4. Crucification

The most weird thing is that, a healthy and rational mind would quickly question that, if Jesus was a God, how was it possible for a God to be crucified by men? And if Jesus is the son of God, how could God allow His son to suffer from the pain of the crucification (as also portrayed by many movies about Jesus created by Westerners like Mel Gibson)?

Indeed, Jesus, the man we believe to be Prophet Isa a.s, he was not crucified. But this is not known until 600 years later (after the claimed crucification), when Al-Quran was sent down to our beloved Prophet, Muhammad SAW.

In Surah An-Nisa', Chapter 4, Verses 157-158, "That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah,"; but they killed him not, nor crucified him but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not (157); Nay, Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power, Wise (158)."

5. Trinity

While it is sort of funny that even the Christians can't explain this very confusing and bizarre concept of trinity, it is even funnier that the word trinity is not found in any place in Bibles- whatever versions it is. However, interestingly enough, this concept of 3 in 1 God, is already clearly denounced in Islam which can be found in the Quran itself! Masya Allah, praise be upon Him, Who knows all and every single thing that is apparent and that is hidden, that has happened and that will happen.

In Surah Al-Maidah, Chapter 5, Verse 73, Allah says, "They do blaspheme who say: "Allah is one of three in a Trinity:" for there is no god except One Allah. If they desist not from their word (of blasphemy), verily a grievous penalty will befall the blasphemers among them."

Another one is in Surah An-Nisa', Chapter 4, Verse 171. Do check it out ;-)

Wallahua'lam. Hope this is informative ;-)

Feminist Revolution

Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters, hope this article will help open our eyes to the world we are living now. Insya Allah. Prayers for everyone.
 

Subject: The Feminist Revolution

1. "And among His Signs is this, that He created for you mates from among yourselves, that you may dwell in tranquility with them, and He has put love and mercy between your (hearts): Verily in that are Signs for those who reflect." (Surah Ar-Rum, 30:21)

2. Allah has created men for women and women for men. They are attracted to each other like how night and day are attracted to one another. We ourselves would agree that the most beautiful time within 24 hours a day are during sunset and sunrise, when night and day are embracing each other. So long as this attraction exists, sunset and sunrise will remain as beautiful and captivating as ever. ;-)

3. But why in the modern world today, men dress like women and women dress like men? Why are women provoked to prove their worth by competing with men? Why are men marrying men and women marrying women in homosexuality? What is actually happening in this gender issue and how does it relate to the Signs of The Last Day? How does it relate to the Age of Dajjal, the False Messiah? 


4. In this article, we are going to see how feminist revolution plays its role towards the destruction of society and how it actually paves the way for Dajjal to appear and fulfil his aim to rule the world and deceive all mankind.


5. In Surah Al-Falaq, the 113th chapter, verse 2, we seek Allah's protection and refuge from the mischief of created things. This mischievous and evil being is the Dajjal. And quite interestingly, the satan and devil were not created to be evil, but it was their choice to go against Allah after He created Adam a.s. Dajjal, on the other hand, was purposely created by Allah to be an evil being, and he was programmed by Allah Himself. So Allah knows his strategy and Allah knows how to fight against Him. And he will be fought to death in this world because that is his fate. Only those with an internal eye will not be deceived by Dajjal and safe from his deception.

6. Dajjal is one-eyed and he sees things only externally. His biggest mission is to impersonate Isa a.s, Allah's Messenger whom will come and fight Dajjal. Those who follow Dajjal are those who only see with external eyes. Only by having faith in Allah, and see the world with the internal eye, ones can escape from the fitnah of Dajjal. Because in the Age of Dajjal, reality and appearance will change place. The reality will not look as real, but the appearance will be regarded as reality. 

7. Dajjal will come with a river and fire. The river is actually the path to Hell and the fire is the path to the Paradise. That is how reality and appearance change place. And only those with an internal eyes  (see from the heart) will be able to sense the Dajjal's deceiving method and therefore choose the right way while to the deceived, fire is fire.

8. Back then in history,  Jews believed that their holy Nation will be sent a Prophet from amongst themselves. They believed that this man sent to them must rule the world from Jerusalem as a proof that he is their Prophet. But when Allah sent down Jesus (Isa a.s), they rejected him as their Prophet because they accused Jesus was a bastard (born without father). In the end, they killed and crucified Jesus, though in reality, which was only explained 600 years later through the revelation of Al-Quran to Prophet Muhammad s.a.w, Jesus was not killed but replaced with someone else and he was ascended by Allah and they did not crucify him. Instead, Jesus will come down to fight Dajjal when the time comes. However, because Jesus to them was dead and did not rule the world from Jerusalem, they were convinced that Jesus was not their Prophet.


9. Now here is how the story above related to the Dajjal's mission. Dajjal now is on his way to rule the world from Jerusalem. This explains why the Jews have been fighting for Jerusalem up until now. They are preparing for Dajjal! When Dajjal rules the world from Jerusalem, then people will believe that this is the Prophet that they have been waiting for all this while. (Note the sentence in red bold above).

Dear brothers and sisters, 


10. As a matter of fact, Dajjal is in his final part of the mission. It is not going to be long before the above truly happens. Are we ready? Here are 4 things (in sequence) that have to occur before the Dajjal announces that he is the Messiah and rules the world from Jerusalem. Though in fact he is actually the false Messiah, the impersonator and the Anti-Christ!


First, the Holy Land must be liberated. And this has already occurred.
Second, Jews must be brought back to Jerusalem and claim that it is their land. This, also happened. (Before, Jews were scattered around the world)
Third, they must reestablish and restore the state of Israel and claim that it is the Holy Israel of David and Solomon. This, also had now taken place.
The fourth, is when Israel takes over from America as the ruling state of the world. This, is very near to be fulfilled. It is only a matter of time before it becomes a reality.


11. I do not want to make this very long so I will skip on the explanation of how has Israel played huge role in all policies and actions taken by America. You may make your own research and realize about their enormous and significant influence in politics, economics and social of America, which prepares them to replace America as the ruling state of the world.


12. Age of Dajjal is Age of Riba' (Usury). The predominant practice of riba' has caused nothing but poverty and destitution. Lending money on interest makes the rich richer and permanently rich, while the poors become poorer and permanently poor. It is a blatant form of injustice and oppression. 

13. So now, men can not go to work alone. The money that he earns will not be sufficient. So, women must also go to work to support the family due to the economic instability in the Age of Riba'. Some women have to go to work because their husbands are not responsible and left them with no choice but to work. Not only that, women are encouraged to go out for work and compete with men to prove their worth and claim that it is their freedom and human rights. Along the way, women start embarking on a new mission under the name feminist revolution. They have to prove that in Islam, they are treated equally, so they must be allowed to become Imam in solat (prayers) and also call for prayers i.e azan (Bilal) and many other things that previously were only common and allowed for men. They must also go to work and compete with men. This is already now taking place.

14. Slowly, women breach their limits and losing their ultimate function in family, marriage and society. Being a mother or a housewife are considered embarassing and low in status. So, women start to participate in rat race and be as aggressive as men. They also need someone else to take care of the children and worse, they start thinking of not having too many children, and resort to abortion when they feel like doing so. Women, as now are competing with men, must dress like men and do all the things that men do. It is a revolution! And ultimately, women are now losing their characteristics slowly and night is on its way to become day.

15. In early verses of Surah Al-Lail, the 92th chapter, Allah compares the relationship of men and women with the relationship of night and day. They complement each other, and they are functionally different! But in feminist revolution, there is no such a thing. Night can be day and the other way around.

16. Although there are some positive dimensions in the feminist revolution i.e securing women's education, it is however (as a whole), destructive. Dajjal and the followers are not stupid. They mix the good and the evil, to make way for the evil motives.

17. Divorce is now common in everywhere around the world including Malaysia. This is because men and women do not find satisfaction from each other, and they compete with each other instead. Men do not fulfil his role as men and the same goes for women. Women are convinced to be independent of men and again compete with them. Consequently, divorce has an increasing trend and from time to time, marriage institution loses its trust among people until there is a time when people do not believe in marriage anymore. What happens next? More babies are born outside marriage and as a matter of fact, even now baby dumping and abortion are among the leading social problems.

18. When men become women and women become men, they start to lose attraction to one another. Marriage institution is destroyed and the whole society is on the verge of destruction. And when men lose their attraction towards women and women lose attraction towards men, men now find satisfaction among men themselves and so is the case for women. This finally leads to homosexuality i.e gay and lesbian.

19. What happens to our society? Last Tuesday, 21th of December, I was both tremendously shocked and fueled with anger when I read a news about Gay movement in Malaysia. The news reported that a Malay Muslim guy sparked anger amongst many local Muslims as he posted a video on YouTube claiming that he is gay and he is okay for that. The movement it called GLBT, short for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transexual. They claimed that it is a human right and these people should be given chance to be whom they are as the right belongs to the owner of the body.

20. I fear Allah's wrath for this. Nauzubillah. Sometimes I wept. Quoting history, there was no nation punished by Allah in a way worst than that given to the people of Prophet Luth a.s whom were the homosexuals despite the warnings from Prophet Luth himself. Allah raised them up to the sky and smacked them onto the earth until all of the people were vanished from the earth! Masya Allah, He already gave a lot of warnings and He already punished people in the past, why is it so difficult to take lessons?

21. These people (GLBT) organise a program called Seksualiti Merdeka and they even have a blog that allows anyone to post their videos about themselves, so that they confidently and proudly admit about their perverted sexual orientation in the video. Is it not known that this is another obvious sign of the coming Judgement Day?

22. Brothers and sisters, reflect now and pray to Him, seeking protection and we have to fight against those whom challenge Allah by at least keeping ourself strong and steadfast with the truth!

23. With the existence of feminist revolution, situation can't get any better. People now care not about the norm of life that men and women are different. Under the name of human right and individual's independence, they want to change everything even to the extent of going against the divine guidelines by Allah. They want to challenge the Creator and how dare them for doing so. Unfortunately, homosexuality is after all only the tip of the iceberg. The world is getting far more astrayed than what we can ever imagine.

24. Rasulullah s.a.w also prophesized that The Last Hour will not come until women give birth to her own mistress/master. Again in the Age of Riba', there is a huge gap between the poor and the rich. And women in the rich or upper strata, they struggle hard to amass wealth, and they compete with men. As a consequence, women in France and Singapore for instance, which both have strong grassroot of feminist revolution, now face the problem of infertility. Yes, these women can't produce eggs and they are infertile. God knows what are the reasons and we believe that it is a punishment from Allah for going against the fitrah He has created.

25. The problem is that if they want children, they need somebody to grow their babies in the uterus. How? Surrogacy of course! And these surrogate mother are the poors and they are all that are left as fertile. Moreover, they need money to survive. They are the slave women living on slavery. So they give their body to be pregnant, and when the child is born, they are paid very little money and the children are not theirs, they become their master or mistress instead! Because the babies belong to rich family and they only intend to borrow a place to grow in the women's uterus. And truly, women now have given birth to her own master/mistress.

26. Dear brothers and sisters, let me now end in this article with this question. What do we have to do in response to feminist revolution? Are we not aware of the danger we are facing right now? If we are, please do consider the following actions.

27. First, is to correct our perception and mentality. Women are never degraded as inferior than men. Of course Allah gives some advantage to men, but that is because men are entitled to protect and mantain women (Surah An-Nisa', 4:34). But in the eyes of Allah, it is not because you are male or because you are female, but if you fear Allah the most and you are the most pious, so you are regarded with higher value  (most honored) by Him. It has nothing to do with your gender in the first place. Please refer to Surah Al-Hujurat, 49: 13.

28.  Second, it is wrong to say that women can never go to work. Islam does not forbid it. But we must put first thing first. Women's most important job is to be a good mother and therefore a good wife. If by going to work, women do not sacrifice the first two most important roles as a mother and a wife, then go ahead. In fact, it may be an advantage to the family. However, remember that it is not so that women can compete with men and end up living in an adversarial relationship. This is against Islamic teachings. The permission from a husband is also important. Why? Because women, the money that they earn, it belongs to them and no one even the husband has any right over it. But for men, the money that they earn belongs to him, his wife and the whole family because that is his role as a breadwinner of the family. That's why the responsibility as a man and a husband is so huge that a woman must therefore be loyal to him.

29. Rasulullah mentioned mother three times when the companions asked Him on whom to be honored in our life. Only the fourth is then the father. Islam never degrades women but teaches us to put the right thing at the right place. Night should be night and day should be day. Never, ever dare to cross the line and let us live under the guidance of Him and the Divine Book, Al-Quranul Kareem.

Thank you for your time reading. May Allah bless us. Wallahua'lam.

Salam sejahtera kawan-kawan. Salam 1 Malaysia. 1 IMU.

Masih sempat rasanya untuk saya mengucapkan TAHNIAH diatas kejayaan kepada brothers and sisters semester 5 yang baru sahaja menerima keputusan peperiksaan minggu lalu. Buat yang kurang bernasib baik, juga wajar diucapkan tahniah.Kerana sekurang-kurangnya masih bersemangat untuk percubaan kali kedua. Untuk yang lain pula, mungkin pada masa ini sedang sibuk dengan urusan persediaan menghadapi peperiksaan.

Semangat pada musim peperiksaan ini macam ombak, kan? Kadang kala naik setinggi KLCC, ada kalanya turun macam memang tak dapat nak diselamatkan. Itu dinamakan lumrah manusia. Semua orang hadapi perkara yang sama. Paling penting, semua orang mesti miliki faktor pendorong masing-masing yang menjadi motivasi untuk teruskan perjuangan. Jadi, jangan sesekali putus asa.

Makanya,marilah kita hayati nota kecil di bawah agar kita TIDAK SEKALI-KALI PUTUS ASA! (dinomborkan supaya lagi berminat nak baca kerana begitu pendek, ye dak?)

1. Kegagalan sebati dengan kehidupan.Namun selepas itu berlaku, ketabahan dan penerimaan masih tiada. Malah disusuli dengan kekecewaan dan terlalu sukar untuk diterima oleh hati.

2.Ada saja persoalan yang ditimbulkan lalu membawa kepada rasa putus asa dalam diri.

3. Acap kali kita dengar “Chill la der.ini bukan penamatnya,bukan penghujung”  cliche bukan? Tapi memang itu yang sebenarnya.Ramai yang berjaya selepas menemui kegagalan.

4.Paling penting Lawan Perasaan Putus Asa itu.Hakikatnya, putus asa ialah punca kegagalan.Bukan kegagalan punca kepada timbul rasa putus asa.

5.Jangan sesekali sematkan sifat putus asa dalam diri kita.Tetapi jadikan rasa inginkan kejayaan dan mengejar kepada kehidupan yang lebih bermakna sebagai matlamat kita.

6. Malas timbul kerana rasa putus asa. Hilang semangat juga timbul kerana putus asa.Halus dan spontan, bukan? Memang harus cari kekuatan disitu.

Don’t despair and never lose hope

'Cause Allah is always by your side

Insha Allah

(fine.cliche.yeah.i know) :P
