Talaqqi?

Why I choose talaqqi?

بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

A : Kalu belajar kitab2 agama dgn guru2 ni mcm talaqqi ni, lmbt dan lapuk gaya tu. Cth bidang medic la, kalu nak cari info utk report ke, pbl ke, pakai Google ja terus keluar berderet2 maklumat nak tau.

B: Hmm, aku separuh setuju ttg cth ko bg pasal medic, tp ak x setuju pendapat ko ttg kitab2 agama.

1) Cuba ko bygkan dlm dunia kita ni penuh dgn anasir2 pelik, cthnya philosophy secularism, syiah, ajaran2 sesat, berita2 palsu, fitnah sana sini dan byk lg, rasa2 mana lg selamat kalu tanya Google yg siapa2 ja buleh tulis ttg apa2 dgn tanya dan belajar ilmu2 AGAMA dgn guru2 yg ambil ilmu satu persatu dr guru sebelumnya hingga berulang2 sampai ke Rasulullah sallallahu 'alai wassalam?

2) About medical stuff, even our doctors always remind us if we want to take any sources from the internet, make sure it's medical website that have been recommended. Not some random blogs or websites even wikipedia. One of our doctors said "Come on,you're a medical student, it's a big shame when u have bundle of medical resources that u can get from the library but u use wiki that's meant for lay people".

Majalah Q&A. One of the best magazine that explains about Islam.

A : Haha, terabuq ang speaking English naa. Jap, ak x paham ttg mksd ko "tanya Google yg siapa2 ja buleh tulis ttg apa2". cmne tu? About medical stuff, yeah, couldnt agree more than that. Asyik ak ja kalah cakap dgn ko.haha.

B: Ak bg ang analogi senang, cth, ang x tau cmna nak solat jama' la kan, pastu ang p cari sapa2 hat ang jumpa tepi jalan pastu ang tanya ttg solat jama'. Dia jawab "Rasa2nya lah kan, ak rasa lah x tau betul ke x, ko kene buat cmni n cmni." Pastu, ang ikut apa dia kata yg 'rasa2' tu. Ang rasa mcm oke ke x kalu lagu tu?

A: Uish, mane buleh bro. Nmpak sgt was2 tu.

B: Tu la mksd ak. Kata Imam Malik bin Anas ra : “Sesungguhnya ilmu ini merupakan agama. Maka, lihatlah dengan siapa kamu mengambil agama kamu. Sesungguhnya aku telah bertemu dengan 70 orang di Masjid Nabi ini, yang menyatakan telah berkata fulan bahawa Rasulullah salallahualaihiwassalam bersabda (menyampaikan hadis). Sesungguhnya jika salah seorang daripada mereka itu diamanahkan untuk menjaga Baitulmal, nescaya dia ialah orang yang amanah, namun aku tidak mengambil sesuatu pun (hadith) daripada mereka kerana mereka bukanlah ahli dalam bidang ini (hadith). Tetapi apabila datang kepada kami Muhammad bin Muslim bin Syihab Az-Zuhri walaupun dia masih muda maka kami bersesak-sesak ke pintu rumahnya (untuk belajar hadith) !"

B: Uish, tapi payah la kalu nak tanya apa2 kemusykilan bro. Ak duk hadap buku medic tu x habis2. X sempat nak tanya Ustaz. Ak sokmo tanya Ustaz Azhar Idrus ikut FB ja. Ala yg Koleksi Printscreen Soal Jawab Ustaz Azhar Idrus ( Original ) 2.

Al Fadhil Ustaz Azhar Idrus. I believe u know him, right?

A: Kalu ang nak tanya menda2 ang dah tau sejak kecik tp x pasti, buleh la tanya Ustaz2 yg dah blajaq dr guru2 yg bersanad ni. Buleh ja ang nak tanya thru Fb or sms, asalkan org yg ang tanya tu, org yg dipercayai ada ilmu, jgn duk search ja cari jawapan dr ntah sapa2 ntah. Tp, kalu ang nak blaja satu ilmu agama utk amal dan sebagainya, lebih baik ang blaja dgn org yg betul2 ilmunya dr guru yg benar. Ala, mcm medical student nak blaja cmne nak bedah jantung, nak buat colonoscopy etc, mesti belajar dr doktor yg dah belajar dr doktor2 sebelumnya, xkan ang nak blaja dgn abg jaga mayat kat museum tu.Haha.

B: Hmm, makes sense gak ape ko kate. Tp kan, kalau ak baca ja buku2 yg sebijik same mmg copy paste abis mcm buku2 yg guru2 talaqqi ajar x buleh ka? Xdak masa nak p talaqqi ni.

A: Kalu mcm tu,start esok kita x yah p lecture Prof Nasa dan Prof Naznin lah.

B: Uish, apa kaitan tiba2 nak ponteng kelas Prof Nasa, bro? Gile ape.

Prof. Dr. Hj. Nasuruddin B.Hj. Abdullah. Our lecturer. Immunologist expert. (Kanan skali dlm gambar)

A: Ala, kita kan ada buku Mama Robbin dan buku photostat slide Prof Nasa 2. Kita baca ja sampai habis, pastu, kite p masuk exam hall dan score dpt distinction. Amacam?

B: Haha, lawaknye lawak ang. Ak tau la ang GENIUS LEGEND tp mane buleh nak baca buku ja pastu nak score distinction plak tu. Lagipun, dlm buku Robbin tu, ntah ape2 ak pon x paham. Buku slide Prof Nasa tu pon, ada campur2 gambar pelik2. Ak nak dgr lecture Prof Nasa, br paham. Siap ada selingan lawak jenaka lg.

A: Oit2, ak barely passed je kot Block 1. Ang xyah nak kerap perli ak naa. Tu la mksd ak, cube ko bayangkan blaja AGAMA gune buku ja, kompem2 la x paham, kalu paham pon, lebih byk salah paham dr betul pahamnya.
Kalu blaja gune buku ja, baek ak kuar UIA, bace buku kat rumah, pastu, kuar2 g bedah org. Oke x?

B: Haha, ang x payah nak jadi John Jigsaw sgt la kan. ye2, ak paham. tp, lambat la blaja kitab ikut talaqqi ni. lgpun, talaqqi sekali seminggu ja, tu pun smpat pergi.

A: Perkara penting ang kena paham, kita bukan nak bertalaqqi sbb nak blaja beratus2 kitab yg ada dan  jadi ahli hadits ka, ahli fiqah ka. Kita dtg sini nak jadi doktor, so, kompem2 kena utamakan blaja medic yg lecture dr pukul 7 pg sampai 4 ptg 5 hari seminggu nuh. Tp, p talaqqi tiap2 minggu cth talaqqi Ustaz Mustaffa Kamal kat CF Bro tu, sekurang2nya kita ni dpt peringatan setelah asyik leka dgn dunia, dpt dgr mutiara2 ilmu dan dekatkan diri dgn ulama', belajar adab dan akhlak yg mulia. Kita belajaq sikit2 ja, biaq lmbt. Yg penting usaha kita yg Allah tgk, bukan end of the result. Tp, kalu ang buleh jd macam Syeikh Dr Yusri Rushdi al Hasani. That's the best. Tafaddol.

B: Sapa Syeikh Dr Yusri Rushdi tu?

Syeikh Dr Yusri Rushdi al Hasani. credit to Bunyamin

A: Dia Head of Surgey kat Cairo. Kira doktor la. Surgery Specialist. Tp, dia ajar gak Hadith kat al Azhar, cth kitab2 dia ajar, Sahih al-Bukhari, Sunan Abi Dawud, al-Muwatto',Syamail Muhammadiah,Hikam ibnu 'Ato'illah,Hasyiah Baijuri etc.

B: Tu mmg hebat betol tu, ambe distinction pon x lepaih.haha. Trimas naa, pandangan ak sedikit sebanyak berubah ttg talaqqi ni. Betul2, buleh doh ak mai talaqqi next week. Kat mana ang cakap td, CF Bro? Tp, segan la sume duk pakai serban jubah blaka. Ak pakai suar jeans ja kot.

A : Haah, CF Bro. Ustaz Mustaffal Kamal. Kalu ang nak p, sudi2kan lah tumpang ak dgn keta BMW ang, ak xdak transport. haha. Alah, x yah nak segan lah. Dorg sama ja mcm kita. Nak belajaq. Diorang sume tu cuma nak amalkan sunnah Nabi sbb cinta mereka pada Nabi sallallahu 'alai wassalam. Kita pakai tutup aurat pon oke. xdak la Ustaz nak halau tiba2. haha. btw, hari ni Jumaat, bro. Kerap2 la selawat ke atas Rasulullah Muhammad sallallahu 'alai wassalam. Bukan payah pon, guna mulut ja.

B : Kerap perli Kancil ak. haha. buleh2. Incha Allah.


So, what's 'Talaqqi'? 

"Talaqi bermaksud perjumpaan atau pertemuan, Tetapi dalam hal ini talaqi bermaksud pengajian ilmu Islam yang disampaikan secara dari guru kepada anak murid secara berdepan dan bil musyafahah (dari mulut ke mulut). Pengajian talaqi ini merupakan satu juzuk dari sunnah Rasulullah apabila Rasulullah menerima wahyu dari Jibril, dan menghafal wahyu tersebut terus dari Jibril. Dalam sesetengah riwayat menyebut Jibril mengarahkan nabi agar tidak tergopoh-gapah dalam menghafaz wahyu. Kaedah pengajian sebegini diteruskan sehingga ke hari ini kerana peraliran ilmu dan pencerahan kitab ulama' yang muktabar disampaikan secara bersanad (dari guru ke guru) sekaligus memelihara keaslian ilmu dan makna penulis kitab tersebut."

*ak- aku
* distinction - 80% and above for medical students. Isnt easy to get this. Medical school is the school that transform many of top students all over world to become a "I just want to pass the exam" student except some extraordinary students. #truestory.

Early Marriage. WHY?

Couple Totally Halal After Nikah by Syabab Musafir Kasih

بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

Salam and Happy Sunday!

WARNING : This post is intentionally for anyone who supports or wants to get married at young age especially IIUM students.Yes. Early Marriage.

Take note : Most of the IIUM students don't come from Islamic background. For them, coupling before married is a natural thing and they didn't know coupling before nikah is forbidden in Islam before admitting into IIUM.

After they admit into IIUM, they are exposed with the idea that coupling before nikah is forbidden and generally, they understand and know why it's forbidden. Then, they will replace coupling idea with the better idea that is allowed in Islam. Yess, it's a marriage or specifically early marriage.

Basically, they understand that early marriage provides many advantanges in spiritual, social, religious, academically aspects etc. In Islam, there are many hadith (Prophet's sayings) that highlight its advantage and it's recommended in Islam to get married. I don't want to point all those advantages out because I assume many of us know or heard about it. Maybe you can refer in ILuvIslam.com if you don't know.Don't get wrong idea, I fully support this early marriage idea.

Have you ever heard or meet the early young married couple have many problems after getting married for example, their academic performance is getting worse, social and financial problems or worst case scenario, they get divorced?

The main point is before getting married, some of them put the marriage solely as MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THEIR LIFE! I mean as an ABSOLUTE OBJECTIVE! Maybe, many of us didn't realize this because we are consumed with early marriage advantages plus the natural desire to have someone special to live together. (Both of these is not the bad thing, dont get me wrong). Subconciously, they put this as ABSOLUTE objective of their life. Yet, for me, this idea is completely WRONG. The ABSOLUTE OBJECTIVE in Islam is for HEREAFTER. For Allah s.w t.



Marriage is just one of the complementary thing to strengthen our effort and way to achieve true absolute objective.

The person that puts marriage as an absolute objective is analogically like a sprinter that MUST run 400 metres on track to get to the FINISH LINE but he puts the target at 100 metres only. He will run as fast as he can until 100 metres. Then, after 100 metres, he will burn out and assume he already win and race is end. Maybe he will stop and take a nap at 100 metres line while other sprinters run untill the true finish line.The truth is, he must make it to Finish Line that's 300 metres away to go. He's a loser. Geddit?





I guess the main point is I want to make sure you need to know why you want to do something. Even, you want to get married after graduating or while working, without realizing the true objective in marriage or prioritize what is more important, you will face many problems too.

I just want to point this out to make it clear my friend, MARRIAGE is a part of process in our life not true objective! That's all!

p/s: Tomorrow is Minitest. Please pray for me :))  

How To Memorize Al Quran Kareem

I got an interesting article from my friend and I guess I should share this post with other Muslims in this Ramadhan. Honestly, I never try this technique but InshaAllah, I'll try to apply this technique. 

Al Quran Kareem

"In this post, you’ll learn one of the most effective strategies I’ve ever come across for doing your hifz of the Quran and building a very close relationship with Allah (swt) in the process…

So, this hifz technique was taught by the Algerian Shaykh Zakariya al-Siddiqi who teaches at the Institute of Human Sciences in France and is one of the foremost scholars of Quran today.

He memorised it by the age of 9 and dedicated his life to studying and teaching it, and he once told us the story of one of his friends. His friend was an engineering student, who was a ’Fresher’ about to embark on a 5 year degree. Let’s call him Ahmed…

Ahmed was an intelligent student who followed one of the oft-forgotten Sunnah’s of Success…

Quran Memorization Tip 1: Wake Up Early

He woke up earlier than most people. In fact, he woke up on time to get to the Mosque to pray Fajr every day. When he got home from the mosque, instead of busying himself with the internet or watching television, he spent the first few minutes of each day memorising the Quran.

Quran Memorization Tip 2: Each Day Memorise Less Than You Think You Can

Ahmed made a firm commitment to memorise the Quran, but instead of rushing in and trying to memorise one or two pages each day (like his friends who gave up before long), he confined himself to learning 5 lines per day.

This worked out to be about 20-30 minutes per day for him.

Quran Memorization Tip 3: Get Familiar First

In order to overcome the initial unfamiliarity with the new verses, he spent the first few minutes each day actually writing out the 5 lines of that day onto a small sheet of paper.

He spent the next few minutes reciting them over and over, and then attempted to memorise them.

Quran Memorization Tip 4: Keep Today’s Verses Close At Hand

As Ahmed went about his day, he often found that he had a few chunks of time – several minutes each. During these times, such as waiting for the bus, or waiting for a teacher to turn up to a class, Ahmed would try to remember the 5 lines from that morning.

To aid his memory, he kept the sheet that he wrote out that morning folded in his pocket, and would pull it out if he was struggling.

Quran Memorization Tip 5: Use What You Memorise In Every Single Salah

To further support his memory, every prayer he prayed that day, he would recite the same 5 verses of Quran that he learned that morning. In each aka’, he would alternate between the 5 lines from that day, and the 5-10 lines he learned the previous days. And remember…

Quran Memorization Tip 6: Keep Track Of Your Goal

With the Uthmani script of the Quran, there are exactly 15 lines per page. So, by the end of the week, Ahmed had not only memorised 2 whole pages of the Quran, but he had written them out in full, too… a very blessed act if ever there was one.

Quran Memorization Tip 7: Perfect Your Tajweed As You Go

On the weekend, Ahmed would visit a local scholar of Quran recitation, and would revise with him the 2 pages he had just memorised, and have a go at the 2 pages he would be working on the following week. This way, he was certain to learn the Quran with accurate tajweed and beautiful recitation.

There was one other secret to Ahmed’s success.

The Spiritual Secrets Of Successful Memorisation…

Once a week, on a weekend evening (usually on a Friday night), Ahmed would wake up in the middle of the night, and pray Tahajjud. During his special Tahajjud prayer, Ahmed would recite the whole two pages he had learned that week, and consolidate them.

At this point, the Shaykh mentioned that perhaps one of the reasons so few people manage to wake up and do this special prayer, which is highly recommended by the Quran and by our beloved Prophet (saw), is that we don’t have anything to recite.

We have so little Quran memorised that there’s no fun or enjoyment in the challenge of waking up for Tahajjud, and we often find even the fard prayers a ’chore’ instead of a pleasure.

The Results…

You can imagine Ahmed’s excitement and feeling of achievement and success 3 months after he started, when he had memorised the entire 1st Juz!

It’s not just the feeling of success and empowerment that the Quran gave him, but also the deep connection with Allah (SWT) he felt every single day.

You can only imagine how proud he must have felt of himself, when upon graduation Ahmed not only received a 1st class degree in engineering (he was 3rd in his class), but he had also officially memorised the entire Quran. He was a hafidh.

Shaykh Zakariya pointed out a final lesson from this blessed brother.

The biggest achievement he made was not to memorise the Quran. The biggest achievement he made was to be deeply connected with the Quran every single day for 5 years.

That connection with Allah (SWT) is what made Ahmed so special. That deep link with the Creator is what keeps life in perspective and is what helped Ahmed to keep on track with the little weekly targets he set for himself.

One can only imagine what happened to Ahmed’s levels of personal fulfilment, Iman and taqwa, as he went back every single day to develop this ritual of ihsan (spiritual excellence). Each day he woke up for Fajr and wrote out another 5 lines of Quran, his self-esteem and self-confidence soared…

Kaab bin Malik.

This picture was taken from the teater "Menunggu Kata Dari Tuhan" at UIAM. This teater is all about Kaab bin Malik a.s, the Companion of the Prophet (acted by Sabri Yunus) waiting for the repentance from God because he didn't go to War of Tabuk without any reason.

This is the story that I read when I was Form 3 at Surau Sekolah. For me, it is the longest hadith in the Story of the Prophet's Companion Book.

Please, I recommend you to read his story how hard he want to get repentance from God. Serius menangis terharu time first time bace dulu.

Hope and Regret.

 Salam.

HOPE is a very strong and unique word.

Barack Obama also used this word instead hundred of words for his campaign when he ran for the President of United States post.

Hope is a word that completely can fit in ourselves.

You hope for a better world,
They hope there are no wars or economic problems,
Muslim hope the world can see Islam is a peace religion,
We hope we can become a rich person in 2-3 years.
We hope everything is going smoothly without any problem in our life.
We hope we can live or study abroad at overseas.

"Hope" makes human can strive and reach their maximum capability to get something they want in their life.

We hope for good grade for exam result.So,we study hard and smart all day, we ask our lecturer anything we don't understand, we buy many reference books, we make a study group to discuss our subject each other.

BUT,

How about if all your plans for "hundred years"didn't worked as you HOPE it supposed to be.

You hope to get an opportunity to study abroad at overseas but you stuck at local university.
You hope to become a great chef , but, you come out as a guard.
You hope for beautiful wife but you didn't have a chance to get married for many years.

REGRET.

As humans, the feeling of regret will come out and unavoidable, especially when what we want already in front of very eyes, but, somehow, for whatever reason, we can't get it. Maybe we lack of guts, support, financial problems, or we under a circumstances that make it impossible for us to get what we hope.

This is a situation for the phrase " If only I....." easily slips in?

If only I study harder and smarter,
if only I didn't waste my time with something unreasonable,
If only I know how to manage my personality.

So, our beloved Prophet already gave us as an good advice.

Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported : " The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, " A strong believer is better and dearer to Allah than a weak one, and both are good.Adhere to that which is beneficial for you. Keep asking Allah for help and do not refrain from it. ( If you're afflicted in any way), do not say , "If I had taken this or that step, it would have resulted into such and such" but only say," Allah so determined and did as He willed". The word 'if' opens the gates of satanic thoughts.

Sahih Muslim.

Regret is a very negative feeling. Sometimes, because of regret, people do something stupid like didn't believe what was happened, suicide or kill other person, become a crazy person or the worst is they didn't believe on God. Nauzubillah.

There is no positive outcome if you just keep thinking " If only I...." for something that already happened except if you're thinking like :

"If I study harder next time, maybe I will get a better grade."

It's okay if you're thinking to reflect your own mistakes and change for the next time.

"When one door closes, another opens. But, we often look so REGRETFULLY upon the closed door that we don't see the one that has opened for us."

So, how to decrease or make that regret feeling disappear from our life?

Allah, our God already promised us :

Abu Said and Abu Hurairah reported that our Prophet ( Peace be upon him) said " No fatigue, nor disease,nor anxiety, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his SIN for that."

 Al Bukhari and Muslim.

Come on, an obvious choice for us as a human that always do many mistakes and sins.

Just imagine, you're walking to go to a supermarket happily, and accidentally, you hit a rock and suddenly fell.

Two choices :

-Keep thinking " If only I had not went to the supermarket, then, I wouldn't fell" or

-Quickly thank Allah for giving you an opportunity to expiate some sins.

We as a Muslim already given a promise by our God that He will expiate our sins if anything 'bad' happens.
We are lucky right?

This is based on my experience that my unit had been assigned to invite the exhibitors for main event in our university. We set an ambitious target to invite Petrosains, Planetarium, Pusat Sains Negara and etc. 

Hey, there's nothing wrong about being an ambitious,right?.That's what we supposed to be.

There is one week before due date and we still been rejected by all those people that are busy handle their own event. Oh.! We already contacted many exhibitors. Just imagine, you have less than a week to invite someone to fill in a large space in our university's hall and no one can't come.

I kept thinking if only I had been assigned for another task, maybe just a Special Task, that will be no problem for me. 

But, there is one question keep puzzling in my mind that time " How about I manage to handle this problem, that will be a new EXPERIENCE, right Sahel?"

Maybe after this, I know how to sweet talk exhibitors to come to our main event.

I know how to communicate with someone like Dato' or CEO of company.

I know how to manage if there's no exhibitor for exhibition.(huh?)

Then,I texted Bro Afiq, my close friend a.k.a my co-advisor to ask his opinion how to deal with this problem.

First sms I got from him :

Plan for the worst, hope for the best, Bro.!

  

 Good ,simple advise to solve my problem?. For me, my answer is YES. (Thanks Bro! )

I already forgot that we as a human just PLANNING for what we want and only Allah has a will to make it as a success or not.

After I contacted all those exhibitors, I came out with the BACK UP PLAN- the worst plan I didn't want to do- to setup our own booth and make our own exhibition about Muslim Figure in Medicine World. huhu

LIFE

Our life is boring if it runs too SMOOTHLY.

It needs some different type of problem to make it interesting.

Life is a bed of roses, right?

Ps: Oh!.I forgot. The Discovery Week exhibition is a success when two days before due date,

TELAGA BIRU SDN.BHD. agreed to come as an exhibitor.Alhamdulillah, I knew HE just want to test me. :')

Jom pi TELAGA BIRU Booth, skang ni tgh diskaun 10%-35%.hoho

Break the siege..!

salam and heya..!

it's been awhile i didnt post any post for this week.okey, i dont want to post about 'Iron man 2' or ' Rossa Concert'

I just want to post about my family,my brothers, my sisters in Gaza.=(
Poster above is about event to help Gazans that always in poor condition. There is some info about this campaign and also siege that make Palestine like a cage.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lifeline 4 Gaza is a collaborative effort between Malaysian NGOs to join an international campaign to break years of Israel siege on Gaza. They are working along with Free Gaza Movement who is based in Cyprus, IHH in Turkey, MERC and Kispa Indonesia, and other NGOs from USA, Greece, France, Sweeden, Germany, Italy, Venezuella and many more.

The flotilla is expected to depart Istanbul on 15th May 2010, comprising 20 ships and cargo boats to be laden with building supplies, generators, medical equipment and educational materials. They will sail through the Mediterranean Sea, carrying members of Parliament from countries around the world as well as high-profile journalists and human rights activists.

why break the siege?

The siege or blockade of Gaza started in June 2007. The blockade was supported by the governments of Egypt and the USA, among other nations. It consists of a land blockade along Gaza’s borders with Egypt and Israel, and a sea blockade maintained by the Israeli navy from three nautical miles offshore. It immediately followed the 2006-2007 economic sanctions against the Palestinian National Authority following the election of Hamas to the Palestinian government.

Prior to 2007 blockade, Israeli military has already imposed blockade of the Gaza Strip and closure of the Gaza International Airport, following the The Al-Aqsa Intifada which broke out in September 2000. The blockade worsened after the creation of a ‘buffer zone’ in September 2001, that would seal all entry and exit points in the Palestinian Territories. After 9 October, 2001, movement of people and goods across the ‘Green Line’ dividing the West Bank from Israel, and between the Gaza Strip and Israel, was halted, and a complete internal closure was effected on November 14, 2001.

More than 1.5 million Gazans have been cut off from the outside world and struggling with desperate poverty. The ongoing siege or blockade of Gaza punishes the entire population, young and old, by restricting the entry of food, medical supplies, educational equipment and building materials, oils, and virtualy any other basic supplies that are essential for a living.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I know someone will said,"naah, for sure, Israel or Egypt will block those supplies for Gaza"Maybe there is high possibilities this supplies will be blocked by Egypt or Israel, but there is also possibility this supplies will be transferred into Palestine. The most important one is, we as a human that always protect other human's rights, have show some efforts to help them.

I have read somewhere a Malay guy said, "why we must bother about Palestine-Israel issues?, if Palestine didn't against Israel, i'm very sure this world is in peace"...jokes!, come on man. okey, why Malay people want a freedom from Britian at 1957?.hmm, if you read history books, for sure, we dont want to be oppressed by those Britian. We want our own rights to manage our country by our own system, same goes with Palestine, they want to live peacefully and want their own rights.

For Muslims, please never insult someone who want to do some deeds because i have heard someone said "Those who just pray for our brothers at Palestine is nothing, they didnt help Palestine,"huh?. Please,who are you to say that, this deed is better than another deed.?

Only Allah knows the best.

قُلْ كُلٌّ يَعْمَلُ عَلَىٰ شَاكِلَتِهِ فَرَبُّكُمْ أَعْلَمُ بِمَنْ هُوَ أَهْدَىٰ سَبِيلًا

Say: "Everyone acts according to his own disposition: But your Lord knows best who it is that is best guided on the Way."

Ertinya : Katakanlah: ""Tiap-tiap orang berbuat amalan menurut keadaannya masing-masing"". Maka tuhanmu lebih mengetahui siapa yang lebih benar jalannya" ( Al-Isra : 84 )

oh, we can help our brothers and sisters in Palestine using many ways.

1) Lend your hand, i mean physically help. You can go to Palestine to help using your own skills.If you're a doctor, you can give a treatment.

2) Money.If you cant go to Palestine, you can give your money even only RM1.

3)Pray for Palestine will be free.

4)Attend any event or programme that supports Palestine.

5)Through writing whether in blog, fb, sms, email , books, or just a poster.

6)Give a sermon or speech about Palestine issues if you capable to do it.

7) Boycott the products made by the companies that support Israel.






p/s : I realized I'm not a pious person , but i want to do my best as a Muslim. Help Gazans.!,

was Islam spread by the sword?

How can Islam be called the religion of peace, when it was spread by the sword?

It is a common complaint among some non-Muslims that Islam would not have millions of the adherents all over the world, if it had not been spread by the use of force. The following points will make it clear, that far from being spread by the sword, it was Islam's inherent force of truth, reason and logic that was responsible for its rapid spread.

1. Islam means PEACE.

Islam comes from the root word ‘salaam’, which means peace. It also means submitting one’s will to Almighty God. Thus Islam is a religion of peace, which is acquired by submitting one’s will to the will of the Supreme Creator, Allah (swt).

2. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace.

Each and every human being in this world is not in favor of maintaining peace and harmony. There are many who would disrupt it for their own vested interests. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace. It is precisely for this reason that we have the police force, which uses force against criminals and anti-social elements to maintain peace in society. Islam promotes peace. At the same time, Islam exhorts it followers to struggle and fight against oppression. The fight against oppression may, at times, require the use of force. In Islam force may only be used to promote peace and justice.

3. Opinion of historian De Lacy O' Leary.

The best reply to the misconception that Islam was spread by the sword is given by the noted historian De Lacy O’Leary in the book “Islam at the cross roads” (Page 8):

“History makes it clear, however, that the legend of fanatical Muslims sweeping through the world and forcing Islam at the point of the sword upon conquered races is one of the most fantastically absurd myths that historians have ever repeated."

4. Muslim ruled Spain for 800 years.

Muslims ruled Spain for about 800 years. The Muslims in Spain never used the sword to force the people to convert. Later the Christian Crusaders came to Spain and wiped out the Muslims. There was not a single Muslim in Spain who could openly give the ‘adhaan’, that is the Muslims’ call for prayers.

5. Fourteen million Arabs are Coptic Christians.

Muslims were the lords of Arabia for 1400 years. For a few years the British ruled, and for a few years the French ruled, but overall, the Muslims ruled Arabia for 1400 years. Yet today, there are 14 million Arabs who are Coptic Christians i.e. Christians since generations. If the Muslims had used the sword, there would not have been a single Arab who would have remained a Christian.

6. More than 80% non-Muslim in India.

The Muslims ruled India for about a thousand years. These Muslim rulers did not use any force in order to convert people to Islam. Today more than 80% of the population of India consists of non-Muslims. All these non-Muslim Indians are testimony today that Islam was not spread by the sword, nor was any force used for conversion to Islam.

7. Indonesia and Malaysia.

Indonesia is a country that has the maximum number of Muslims in the world. The majority of people in Malaysia are Muslims. May one ask, “Which Muslim army went to Indonesia and Malaysia?"

8. East Coast of Africa.

Similarly, Islam has spread rapidly on the East Coast of Africa. One may again ask, if Islam was spread by the sword, “Which Muslim army went to the East Coast of Africa?"

9. Thomas Carlyle.

The famous historian, Thomas Carlyle, in his book “Heroes and Hero worship”, refers to this misconception about the spread of Islam: “The sword indeed, but where will you get your sword? Every new opinion, at its starting is precisely in a minority of one. In one man’s head alone. There it dwells as yet. One man alone of the whole world believes it, there is one man against all men. That he takes a sword and tries to propagate with that, will do little for him. You must get your sword! On the whole, a thing will propagate itself as it can."

10. No compulsion in religion.

With which sword was Islam spread? Even if Muslims had it they could not use it to spread Islam because the Qur’an says in the following verse: “Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error” [Al-Qur’an 2:256]

11. Sword of the Intellect.

It is the sword of intellect. The sword that conquers the hearts and minds of people. The Qur’an says in Surah Nahl, chapter 16 verse 125: “Invite (all) to the way of thy Lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious.” [Al-Qur’an 16:125]

12. Increase in the world religions from 1934 to 1984.

An article in Reader’s Digest ‘Almanac’, year book 1986, gave the statistics of the increase of percentage of the major religions of the world in half a century from 1934 to 1984. This article also appeared in ‘The Plain Truth’ magazine. At the top was Islam, which increased by 235 percent, while Christianity had increased only by a mere 47 percent. May one ask, which war took place in this century which converted millions of people to Islam?

13. Islam is the fastest growing religion.

Islam is the fastest growing religion in America and Europe. Today the fastest growing religion in America is Islam. The fastest growing religion in Europe is Islam. Which sword is forcing people in the West to accept Islam in such large numbers?

14. Dr. Joseph Adam Pearson.

Dr. Joseph Adam Pearson rightly says, “People who worry that nuclear weaponry will one day fall in the hands of the Arabs, fail to realize that the Islamic bomb has been dropped already, it fell the day MUHAMMAD (Our Prophet, peace be upon him) was born”.
