who is the worse among all?
4:24 AM | Author: abdul latif
the worse person is ones that eat alone
worse than that is the person who travel alone
worse than that is, those who make decission without "musyawarah"
worse than that is ones who leave Deen for his "world"
worse than that is the person who leave his Deen for other person "world"
but.....
the worse of all is ones that use Deen for his "world"

this phrase i took from my amir halaqah Dr Yassir during our halaqah meeting last month.. deep in my heart i'm asking myself. do i make all of this to get name, glory and fame?...

when i was just a young boy, i always dream of to become a superheroes... so that i could become famous and everyone will respect me. at that time i'm still a naive boy. still not knowing that alongside with fame and popularity there is a huge responsibility. in which i'm afraid that i could not carry...






this is the video of As- Syahid Dr Abdul Aziz al Rantissi, the late HAMAS leader before he was assasinated. he died in the most respectful way.... as a SYUHADA
May his soul rest in peace
and may ALLAH choose us to follow his path..
intention
2:22 AM | Author: abdul latif
why do i study...?
for what reasons i spend 4 year in this institution that so called as center of higher learning?
my amir marhalah once give us a tazkirah about this matter... i write it back here by using my own words and understanding.

dear respectful brothers, every one of you need to have the right intention. why and for what reasons did you come here and spend 3 to 5 year of your life.

brothers...if u came here in intention to get your degree, InsyaAllah u shall get ur degree. but remember, if this is only ur intention. Allah will put u only in the lecture hall, in the labs, and in the library. u might excel in ur study, but ALLAH shall not put u in His home, the mosque, the garden of paradise. u would not get the invitation to come to His house. a simple analogy, if ones is going to organize a feast in ones house. only those who r in the host heart would only get the invitation to come to celebrate the feast. so do Allah, those who could come to the mosque when hearing the azan are those very lucky ones. those that have a very clear intention in his heart. what is his purpose of life...

brothers is u hav the right intention in ur heart, u just not only get ur degree, but also u shall get the blessing from Him, who own the seven earth and the seven skies. He would not just put you in the lecture hall, labs and library, He also would invite you to the place of tranquility. the mosque. n He also will give u time to recite Quran not only books. n when Allah is please with you, every single thing in your life would become easy for u.
u would not only become a students but, Allah will choose u to become a daie. the most honorable job of all...

dear respectful brothers..let us check our intention.. r we really study to please Allah?. n if that soo..why we could not and does not have the strenght to come to the mosque when the azan summons us. why did ALLAH don't choose us for that. why we r being busied to to lots of things but ALLAH did not make us busy in worship Him.

LET US RECTIFY OUR INTENTION,.........TO PLEASE ALLAH SWT
mujahadah

"never ask for mujahadah,
but when its come,
make syukur,
in mujahadah, there is tarbiyah and islah"
I learned something very special today. That ones should never ask for mujahadah, but dear respectful brothers always remember that through mujadah that a person status is raised up in the eyes of Allah SWT. Through difficulties that only a person would tasted the sweetnest of iman.
BROTHERS
If Allah SWT wishes to dignify a thing, then He would make him as a human being. Then, when Allah wishes to dignify him more, then Allah will give him "kalimah" to become a muslim, and when Allah wanted to dignify him even more then Allah will give him practise on Deen, and if Allah want to dignify him even more, that only Allah give him difficulties for the sake of Deen.


am i alive?

early this morning i received a sms from Dr Aziz, saying that his son is about to fly to Australia 2 further his study. dr. aziz personally ask me to make a special doa' for his son and he was very worried. worried that his son only get DUNIA without AKHIRAT. afraid that his son would run away from tarbiyah and da'wah.
without tarbiyah and da'wah our heart is actually empty...

This remind me of a famous speech by Sayyid Abul 'Ala Maududi when he was ask to give a speech in a university graduation day. the grant syeikh said....

"Dear students! You have spent many years of your life at this institution to acquire education. You have eagerly been waiting for the day when you will reap the harvest of your labour in the form of a degree. I am aware of your emotions on this occasion, and that is why it pains me to express my thoughts so bluntly.

Frankly speaking, I consider this Alma Mater, in fact all Alma Maters of this kind, slaughter houses rather than educational institutions. The degrees to be awarded are in fact death certificates, issued when the murderer is satisfied that he has accomplished his task; fortunate are those who escape from this organised butchery with still some spark of life.

I have not come here to congratulate you on receiving these death certificates. I am, rather, overwhelmed with grief to see you in such a miserable plight. I am like someone seeking a person who might still be alive among a mass of corpses."

maybe this is what dr. aziz afraid of.... afraid that his son might not "survive" in the university life. especially in the foreign country such as autralia. where everything is call as "human right". the land of "freedom", a place where u r free to do anything.

but then, rather pointing fingers to others, let us ask ourself are we really "alive"?
ordinary?

"to be ordinary is boring..."
do you aggree with this statement?
for me, no such thing of this. mankind are created to be unique. since the first human being that was created (prophet Adam a.s). we are destined to be extraordinary. the only creature among billions of others that fully determined to take the responsibility of becoming the "khilafah" of the Earth.
from the beginning, we are not ordinary. And that was not all, with the mercy and grace of Allah SWT, each and every one of us are different. from the smallest part of our body, that is the DNA, we are different. our face, hair,tall, weight, thumprint, all are different. even our ways of thinking also different. be remember Allah did'nt see what are, who we are, what differ us from others in the eyes of Allah is only our iman and amal. infront Him, there is no diffrence between a king and a janitor. what differ is how much is ones could follow the commandment of Allah according to the ways of the Prophet pbuh.
soo.. for my ways of thinking no such thing as ordinary. each and every one of us is extraordinary.
u r unique.... so appreciate urself.
