BERSIH-the people have prevailed!

November 11th, 2007 by awek-pontianak

Well, it looks that the information Minister will have to eat his own words. He will have to believe what he sees. His eyes are not playing tricks. It is indeed true that concerned Malaysians did turn up in their thousands to demand clean and fair elections.

They were not intimidated by the heavy presence of the police and the FRU; they were not discouraged by the water cannons or the riot police with their shields and batons. These are brave Malaysians who have had enough of the arrogance of the powers-that-be. They are here to demonstrate to the democratic world that there are Malaysians who are prepared to stand up and march for justice.

In his arrogance, the Minister of Information sneered, "Do you believe thousands of people will be coming for the rally? Don’t be so silly as to be taken in by them," he said, adding that even the Umno annual meeting could not gather such a number of people.

Well Zam, what have you to say now? These are ordinary people who don’t need to be enticed with pocket money, transport and nasi bongkus. When you genuinely walk for justice, you are driven by noble ideals and propelled by sincerity. It is this commitment to the values that we hold dearly that has brought out people in solidarity to raise an issue and to state a point.

What has Nazri to say about this mammoth crowd who braved the rain and faced the risks involved and displayed an indomitable spirit to seek justice and right the wrong? He had haughtily dismissed the crowd of 2,000-odd lawyers who also had marched in an attempt to stop the rot in the judiciary as being in the minority.

Well, Nazri if you had dared to persuade the police to allow the proposed march to proceed unhindered, then you would have witnessed a crowd that would have been bigger than the Kesas Highway gathering.

It is because the Barisan government does not want the people of Malaysia to witness how upset and unhappy many Malaysians are - that is the sole reason that they had brought in their mighty strength represented by the police and the FRU with the sole purpose of disrupting the gathering. In this way they had hoped that Malaysians would not get to witness the truth that exposed their lies and distortions.

What took place today was a peaceful, democratic and legitimate exercise undertaken by concerned Malaysians to seek a remedy for our tainted, lopsided elections. Whatever may be said in defence of the Election Commission or the manner in which elections take place in our country, the truth is that there has never been equal opportunity to fight clean and fair in the general elections. It has been always tilted in favour of the Barisan Nasional, which abuses state facilities and state coffers to entice the electorate - and that must be seen by any impartial observer as clearly constituting corruption.

10 THINGS EVERY MUSLIM MUST DO

October 5th, 2007 by awek-pontianak

Ten Things Every Muslim Should Do
American convert and writer, Yahiya Emerick, suggests ten easy things that every Muslim family can do to contribute to the betterment of Muslims and the establishment of Islam in the West.

I’ve often been confronted with people who are really motivated to do something for Islam, but who were aimless. You know what I’m talking about. Sometimes we are so filled with feelings of wanting to help but we don’t really know where to begin.

Doesn’t it seem like there’s just too much that needs to be done? Muslims are starving in war zones all over the world, kings and dictators rape our lands, misinformation about Islam is rampant, our children are succumbing to the non-Muslim way of life, maybe half our family members don’t practice Islam, even if they say they’re Muslim, the Masjid needs funds, Muslims need to be taught the difference between what’s Islam and what’s cultural, etc…

I’m sure many of you could add endlessly to this list. Have you ever felt like the problems are just too great to solve? Have you ever blocked it out of your mind because if you really thought about it you would become depressed? If so, then you’re not alone. I’ve met tons of believers, real sincere people, who lament that they don’t know what to do or how they can really help.

Of course, there are some people who will make one specific issue their focus and they’ll work to help in that direction. For example, someone might make the support of the local Masjid their cause. Another person may support whole-heartedly an Islamic school or the activities of a relief agency, etc… But most of us don’t have time to do justice to those types of goals like we should.

But the alternative, sitting at home and watching TV is hardly worth our time when there are real Muslims out there who need us, and a cause that we must support. So in view of all the variables that affect most of our lives in the modern world, I’ve come up with a list of ten easy things that every Muslim family should do so that they can contribute to the betterment of Muslims and the establishment of Islam in the West.

Anyone can do these ten things and I’ve selected activities that are not overly time-consuming, nor expensive. I expect that you’ll agree and will tape a print out of these ten "to do’s" to your refrigerator door. (Before grabbing that snack you can be reminded about what is more important than filling your belly!)

#1 Sponsor an Orphan
Before anything else, there are hungry Muslim children everywhere who have needs right now. There are several reputable relief agencies who offer orphan sponsorship programs that only cost from $20-$40 a month. You and I know that’s nothing expensive on your part - so do it. Some agencies even offer automated withdrawal so you can send a letter once with a voided check and never have to fill anything out again. Doing this can make you close to the Prophet in Paradise.

#2 Subscribe to at least three Muslim magazines
This is practically the only way you can keep abreast of issues important to the Muslims in the West. It also supports the budding Muslim media. Even if you don’t intend to read the magazines, subscribe anyway. Someone around you will read or you can leave them with others. Make it at least three and try to subscribe for 2-3 years at a time.

#3 Go to the Masjid at least once a week for Salah
In the West today, nearly all of us have a Masjid within driving distance. Even if you don’t go to the local Masjid for Jumu’ah because of your job, then go for at least one Maghrib a week or for Zuhr on Sunday. Whatever, just go at least once a week- WITH YOUR FAMILY. It’s the only way that you and your family will consider the Masjid to be your place.

#4 Give your children an Islamic Education
If your children go to public school, and there is no Islamic school nearby, then make sure they either get into some Sunday school program, or, if the local Masjid doesn’t run it right, then pool together with some like-minded families and run your own program at somebody’s house every Saturday or Sunday and conduct it the way you think it should be done. This is the minimum requirement for not losing your children to secular Christianity.

#5 Buy books, cassettes and videos on Islam
Buy at least one book, audio or video produced by a Muslim company or author per month. Have you ever wished that there were better items for you and your family’s pleasure? Unfortunately, Muslims don’t support their own writers and artists very well. No one can make even a decent living if they want to write or produce for the Muslim market. That must change if you want to see wonderful products for you and your children. Just buy one thing per month. Either out of a catalog or from your local Muslim bookstore. For you it’s only $5-$10 bucks, but collectively, it can encourage our creative and talented brothers and sisters to do more.

#6 "Adopt" a convert
If you see any new Muslims at your Masjid, then partially "adopt" them into your family. The convert experience is basically one of isolation and loneliness. You’d be surprised to know that most converts are outright ignored by the people in the Masjid. Beyond a few pleasantries and handshakes, they are usually never made to feel welcome or accepted. They are often cut off from their non-Muslim friends and relatives so they are doubly vulnerable. A new convert should be invited into various peoples home for dinner a minimum of six times a month. Get together with others and make sure you all put the new convert on your guest list for any sort of gathering.

#7 Give the gift of the Quran
Keep three extra Qur’an translations and some literature in your home at all times. You never know when you’ll find someone interested who wants to know more. Besides, your children read only and understand only English. (You wouldn’t believe how many Muslim families don’t have an English Qur’an translation in their homes! How will the child read it if they don’t understand Arabic, and they never understand Arabic, even if their parents are Arabic speaking!)

#8 Go to one convention a year
Even if you have given up on them, you have to go. It’s the only way your children will feel a part of a greater community of believers. Think about it and realize that you don’t just go to a convention for your personal enrichment. It’s about Muslim solidarity. Go to at least one every year. Couple it with your vacation plans or something. Just go.

#9 Eat only Halal or Kosher Food
Besides all the religious aspects I could mention, which are the most important, by the way, there is another advantage. You solidify your identity and introduce to your family the concept that animals should not die cruelly (like they do in all American slaughterhouses) and that Muslims eat cleaner food. If there are no Halal meat stores nearby, you’ll probably find a Kosher store. At least many of the Jews are not shy about Allah’s commandment there and have established kosher markets everywhere.

#10 Create an Islamic environment in your home
Lastly, make sure you and your family have cultural-type items in your home in abundance that are associated with Islam or Islamic culture. Everyone in your home should have prayer beads, prayer rugs, kufis, Hijabs, (even if they’re worn only for prayer), gowns, posters, wall plaques, stickers, logo-shirts, Islamic screen-savers on the computer, and on and on. You want to establish an identity in your home. Everything outside is totally un-Islamic. At least let the Islamic flavor be present inside.

Originally, there were only ten things on this list, but then a very important item came to mind but I just couldn’t bring myself to delete any of the preceding items. But in the interest of simplicity, I’ll keep the upper ten intact and mention this item as a separate issue because it’s something that you don’t really need to list with the other things.

This is extremely crucial:

Resolve to raise your family as Muslims
Don’t be passive. Don’t sit around and watch your spouse and children drift further and further away into disbelief and kufr. Would any of you like to be on their deathbed and then realize that they only left non-Muslims behind them? Imagine entering the great sleep with that realization on your heart!

These ten things can be done, with minimal trouble and fuss, by each and every Muslim family. Through these ten points nearly every purpose of Islam is served and you can finally feel that you’re doing something in an organized fashion to help promote your healthy way of life and also to fulfill your responsibility to your Creator. Give it a try and see how easy these things really are. Then stick with it. You have no excuses for inaction anymore

cried for nothing

October 4th, 2007 by awek-pontianak

its hard for me to convey my feelings and share my problems to anybody.if i tell anybody a secret of myself,i wont tell the whole thing for sure.i dunno y..i juz cant trust people anymore after what has happened to me before.maybe thats y im prone to writings rather than chatting coz i’d rather bear this hurt alone,and heal it on my own..plus,i dont write the whole thing in here as well(sigh)..but its a good form of reducing my stress though

bette asked me some personal questions and she comes with evidences,and they somehow made me felt down.i havent shed a tear for quite some time,but now..somehow..i dont have enough strength to endure this.my heart is full with hatred and embarassment to keep on living..tp syukur,berbekalkan tarbiah and iman,i manage to face on the reality…and not to let myself out of control and keluar dr fitrah manusia

while im writing this,i talked to apih for a while tru YM.maybe because we both share something in common..in other words,our experience lebih kurang jek.so it makes me feel more at ease to tell my problem to him.but still..i dun tell him the whole story.but at least when u talk to someone,ull be more relaxed.in my case ill act tough,and then ill immediately deviated from the issue after some time..haha!

aihh…see…my study pon dah tergendala sekejap sbb dok wasting my life on this rubbish feelings(erm,cam rude je plak ayat ni).but,in the end i know that ada pelangi yg indah awaits for me.kalo t kat dunia pon,kat akhirat insyaA.for now,i shud cherish my life and enjoy it to the fullest rather dok bersedih dgn benda2 yg wont bring any gud to me…ganbatte!

New Challenges In A New Place

September 28th, 2007 by awek-pontianak

rasanya dah lama t write something here..my hands are full with errands in order to settle down in Nottingham UK.but since tomoro is weekend,so bolehla buang masa kat sinih kejap,lalala =P

Nottingham is a truly nice place..byk trees and tame animals like squirrels and different kind of birds,esp kat jubilee campus(business nye campus).it feels like u are close to the nature as the surroundings are beautiful and ..giving u a sense of relaxing.however,the weather is freezing cold,grrrr~even its just autumn.i dun dare to think hws its going to be in winter soon..kompem tanak kuar bilik rasanya..

just a couple of few days kat sinih,rasanye cam berturut2 dugaan datang.now i understand how the overseas student feels when berkawan ngan other people who comes from a different background and different cultures esp the English people.heena my flatmate,comes from an indian family.she’s pretty and gergous!!=)she introduced me to jaymie,suraya and chandini.they all are nice persons,tp yeahh..u know…they are prone to parties,drinking and heavyporn.but rasanye diorg still cant be considered as wild.because they still respect me for who i am.as for me..alhamdulillah,setakat nih berjaya menghadapi setiap ajakan and soalan ‘ntah ape2 ntah’ dengan baik(i guess).takut gak semlm bila diorg plan nk drunk sama2,and i was alone at that time..i takut kalo diorg paksa i drink some.so,i excuse myself cepat2 before something unnecessary happen.i still wanna be a good muslim maaa…its a sad thing to know that jaymie is half muslim,but he doesnt practise islam =(

kat kelas plak…i have to be independent as most of my classes are not the same with ruzaini and diana due to different courses.somehow i felt a lil bit alone,especially when it seems that im the only practised muslim gurl in the class.and when the lecturer mentioned about sept 11,it creeps me out hahaha..hopefully,takde sape will bully or discriminate me,else my life would b tough..(sigh).the fact that my eldest brother also facing the same challenges in Sligo,Ireland and the fact that im here because of Allah SWT somehow ease my anxiety,alhamdulilllah..moga2 Allah SWT meneguhkan iman dan taqwa dalam diri ini..

oh yeah,klaka la jugak.sampai kat sinih,t pasal2 ramai yg meluahkan prasaan kat cik intan ttg problem diorg..but of coz,ill keep my promises.zziiiippppp mulut,cant tell this to anybody!but guys,im honored to listen to any of ur probs or opinions.alhamdulillah,it means that i can be trusted and reliable,which are very good soft skills la kan..hikhik!peace..(prasan sorg2)

ape2pon,im determined to be frens with everyone and to show them the real beauty of Islam.i wont give a damn on what they think about my appearances and my social life,and i would refuse and reject anything which is against Islam even I will get alienated..ill be strong,and i know Im not alone.Allah bersama cik intan insyaA,and destinasi utama kiter adalah syurga =)

…AKHWAT SEJATI..

August 30th, 2007 by awek-pontianak

= akhwat sejati bukanlah dilihat dari
sifat supelnya dalam b’gaul,,tetapi
dari sejauh mana ia bisa m’jaga
kehormatan dalam b’gaul..

= akhwat sejati bukanlah dilihat dari
kecantikan paras wajahnya,,tetapi dari
kecantikan hati yang ada di baliknya..

= akhwat sejati bukanlah dilihat dari
keberaniannya dalam b’pakaian,,tetapi
dari sejauh mana ia berani
m’p'tahankan kehormatannya..

= akhwat sejati bukanlah dilihat dari
sberapa banyak dan besarnya ujian yang
ia jalani,,tetapi dari sejuh mana ia
m’hadapi ujian itu dengan penuh rasa
syukur..

= akhwat sejati bukanlah dilihat dari
kekhawatirannya digoda orang
dijalan,,tetapi dari kekhawatiran
dirinya lah yang m’undang orang lain
jadi t’goda..

= akhwat sejati bukanlah dilihat dari
bentuk tubuhnya yang m’pesona,,tetapi
dari sejauh mana ia menutupi tubuhnya
itu..

= akhwat sejati bukanla dilihat dari
seberapa indah lantunan
suaranya,,tetapi dari apa yang
dibicarakan mulutnya..

= akhwat sejati bukanlah dilihat dari
kemampuannya b’bahasa,,tetapi dari
bagaimana caranya ia b’bicara..

= akhwat sejati bukanlah dilihat dari
begitu banyaknya kebaikan yang ia
berikan,tetapi dari keikhlasannya
m’berikan kebaikan tersebut..

so,para akhwat sekalian!!sesamalah kiter memperbaikkan diri kita to help the world to become a better and safer place for all..insyaAllah~

JEJAKA IDAMAN CIK INTAN??

August 29th, 2007 by awek-pontianak

Ehe,cam klakojek tajuk entry nih.bagi gimik sket…huhu!recently byk errr…unexpected things happen to me. Questions and statements such as:

-Is there any chance that I could fall in love with …

-Is there any chance that we could fall in love?

-Awak ngan … kapel ke?? -Nape ko tak cari2 boyfriend lg?x rasa ketinggalan ke?

-ape salahnye kalo u ngan budak lagi muder from u?

-carila kat university,kawan dulu pastuh..lepas belajar terus kawin nih my mom punye!aiyarkkk

-Jodoh t kemana,so..bla bla bla -etc

ps:no offence yerk publish kat sinih,bukan cik intan letak nama korang pon..except for my mom tu la.. sigh~nk dijadikan citer,I felt it is very important for me to clarify the situation that im in now.hopefully this explanation will answer all of ur curiousity.

      First,plz put aside all the gossips yg mengatakan cik intan nadia taib erm,in relationshipke,berpunya,bercintun,ade cik abang or yg sewaktunya..coz the truth is im single,but totally not available to sape2 for the moment.

      there are so many things that I want to do in life.n these past few months I always thought that I would die at a very young age…well,okla..mayb at 43 years old.sama ngan Imam Hassan Al Banna.actually,I would rather die if my death is better than continue on living.sounds like give up ngan idop jekan??camle gerenti masuk syurga haha..

      well,ive just realized that we always take things for granted.i always think about the things that I cant do.In other words,i rarely think about what can I do with the inner strength,potentials and abilities that I have.contohnyela..Allah SWT bagi kiter kaki utk berjalan and do many great things that will not only benefit us,but also other people.but I rasa cam kiter always misuse them…kalo tak misuse pon t fully utilize ngan kelebihan yg kiter ade.contoh paling senang yg I boleh nampak almost everyday is bila golongan muda tanak pon bagi seat kat those yg lebih memerlukan time dalam bas or komuter.that is so frustrating me la bila tgk everyone cam selfish banget.I just hope that I can do something to change this kind of attitude.and I also want to correct the misconception of Islam that some of us might have,become a volunteer to help needy people,and do many things that makes my life more meaningful..nnt boleh jadik evidence to show to God that ive tried my best to become a good slave for Him.thats my purpose of life skang.erkk,rasa cam emo sket..but clear ke?insyaAllahla kan

      Kesimpulannya,I tanak pkla hal nih lagik.yes I like to gossip(gossip yer bukan mengumpat) people,but I don’t like people to make a scandal about me with someone else.i know u guys like to see me menggelabah bila ditya soklan2 berbentuk peribadi,but honestly..sy kurang sukala but I don’t show..kalo tunjuk pon korang buat bodoh jekan..suke buli cik intan.yakdishh sorang2 baru tau.so kalo boleh stopla scandal2 sy ngan sesape.this is just me.t dapat nk tukar this attitude lagi(setakat ni)..sori.muahah

      opsss,that doesn’t mean that sy dah tukar selera sy plak yerk..plz don’t misunderstand me..hahah sori gak sbb sy slalu mengelak or t memberi jawapan yg direct bila diajukan soklan2 camni.tp y dun kiter renungkan balik sesame,apekah priority kiter in life?adekah cinta kepada manusia semata-mata?duit dan harta benda yg sifatnye adalah sementara?ataupon modal utk kiter melabur di dunia akhirat?

Wallahualam..

Petronas Briefing

August 28th, 2007 by awek-pontianak

PETRONAS BRIEFING

 

hurm,today nk citer pasal briefing petronas for uk
bound.early in the morning me,intan syaz,hazriq,totok and azerq visited unim to
take our official transcript of result.we felt kinda of sedihla jugak for
leaving some of our friends here.as for me,im more worried about the juniors
and I really wish that I could look after them.but then I think I could leave
them to k saida n k nik nur to take care of them in malaysia.afterall,it
doesn’t mean that I will lose contact with them forever!i can still keep in
touch with them,and that’s what internet and telephone’s are for.

 

then we went straight away to KLCC for the briefing.i met my
petbro Paan.He is such a good kid like always,alhamdulillah..Ive got news that
there are 3 petronas scholars from KYUEM that didn’t meet the requirement.I
felt pity for them,because somehow I think they are more deserve to go to UK
than I do.I didn’t really put much effort for my exams,but then Allah is too
kind to me..He always help me after I promise Him to help myself to become a
better person and live my empty life solely for Him alone(eventhough up till
now,im still not able to become a pious person huhu).

 

Intan Syaz caught a high fever,I was quite takutla if she
caught denggi as her symptoms seemed to be similar,However the doctor confirmed
that she got the fever because of her tonsils.alhamdulillah,,,I look after her
up till now,I know Intan Syaz is very manja,and love benda yg sweet2 ni..but
well,hahha…I dun think Im such a person la.I feel more towards obligation
kot.Furthermore,I dunno how to act sweet,haha!!Im prone to be protective and
responsible person(I think) because nobody has taught me to be sweet and gentle
before.that’s y Ive become such a stubborn and tomboy kot.. haha,such a lame
excuse

 

It feels so sekejap..around one month im going to UK.kat
mesia dah start org tarik2 me to join their jemaah and programs.sometimes I
feel so klaka bila rasa myself cam direbut2,ade gaya artis popular..ngeh
ngeh!!!well,every groups have strengths, weaknesses,and their own way of
approach.for sure,I will try to give my all out effort to dakwah until the end
of my life.insyaAllah…

a meeting with a millionaire

August 11th, 2007 by awek-pontianak

semalam stay at cheenkye’s house..and we met husin beladar,the owner of famous HB village kat Pantai Cahaya Bulan.I can say that he is such a warm-hearted person through my light conversation with him.He loves to joke for his bald head and he is very proud for who he has become,and for what he has achieved.

Husin Beladar admit that he cant be considered as intellectual person since he just barely pass his exam.But Allah SWT gave him other gifts,which are a strong will,enthusiasm,discipline and creativity etc.With his work hard and polished qualities,he was able to gain such a great achievement.He even being praised and honored by Tun Dr Mahathir for his dedication in his job.time tuh dia jadik penguasa penjara pantai timur..well,that was awesome dude because he doesnt have any academic qualification that can be proud of ie he starts from the bottom

It was really impressive to set my foot at his house and further see for myself the payment for his hardwork.The thought of Hussin Beladar pushed me one step ahead to the front as I want to be a happy and successful entrepreneur like him.(kalo x dapat jadik camtuh,dapat suami camtuh pon cun gak haha)He even treated me cheenkye and intan syaz at four season hotel for dinner,and sent me home at that night.terharu sehh….almaklomla,kitorg nih kan bebudakjekk huhu!!

the last word he told me when i ask him about how do he manage to become so successful,he told me that…first,put ur best effort.next,dare to take risk,do not bertaklid semata2…n of coz jg hubungan dgn allah..

peeps,i always run out of time recently.sambung later..babai
