Tawakkal - Reliance on Allah

1 05 2008

It is examination season. Everybody is busy studying and revising what has been taught to them over the course of the academic year. For the hardworking ones, it is all about revisiting all those neural connections which they have established upon first encountering the syllabus content. For the less fortunate, this period is a frantic combination of some revising and a lot of learning. After all, most of the content is new material to them. No matter the state one is in, one fact stands out; that everyone is hard at work.

From Umar ibn Al-Khattab from the Prophet (PBUH) who said: Read the rest of this entry »




LONDON ELECTIONS - 1ST MAY 2008

27 04 2008

Introduction

The series of persecutions started late in the 4th year of Prophethood, slowly at first, but steadily accelerated and worsened day by day and month by month until the situation got so extremely grave and no longer tolerable in the middle of the 5th year, that the Muslims began to seriously think of feasible ways liable to avert the painful tortures meted out to them.

The Prophet (pbuh) had already known that Ashamah Negus (al-Najashi), king of Ethiopia (Abyssinia), was a fair ruler who would not wrong any of his subordinates, so he permitted some of his followers to seek asylum there in Ethiopia. Read the rest of this entry »

IKTIBAR KEMENANGAN HAMAS: Apakah faktor kerajaan Hamas bertahan sehingga saat ini?

20 03 2008

Assalamualaikum Wrt Wbt,

Rencana ini bertujuan memperjelaskan bagaimana HAMAS mempertahankan kemenangan mereka dalam Piliharaya Legislatif Palestin pada bulan Januari 2006.Banyak iktibar yang boleh di ambil apabila HAMAS terus menerajui kerajaan (meskipun kuasanya kini terbatas di jalur Gaza) walaupun diasak oleh musuh-musuh politik yang bersekongkol dengan regim zionis dan Amerika.

Sebab prinsipal kenapa HAMAS masih berada di tampuk pemerintahan sehingga kini ialah sokongan rakyat yang tetap utuh meski berdepan dengan sekatan antarabangsa dan kepungan yang melumpuhkan sama sekali ekonomi dan kehidupan seharian rakyat Palestin. Apakah pendekatan yang diambil oleh HAMAS sehingga rakyat sendiri yang mempertahankan kerajaan ini?

Candy and Vinegar

9 03 2008

Once upon a time, there were two shops. One was selling candy and the other – vinegar. Between the two shop owners there was intense rivalry.

The vinegar shop was a great success compared to the one selling candy. Every single customer who visited the vinegar shop would always come out of it with ‘gallons’ of vinegar while the customers of the candy shop would come out empty handed.

This imbalance went on for awhile until one day, the candy seller decided to close down the shop. Feeling disgruntled and perplexed at the same time, he said to himself: “I just can’t leave in this state. I must go down to the vinegar shop and ask the vinegar seller the reason for the secret of his success.”

More than Gaza

9 03 2008

As Israel pursues its “holocaust” in Gaza, America deploys a destroyer off Lebanon, Iranian President Ahmadinejad makes a historic trip to Iraq and the Arab cold war grows colder, should the region be bracing itself for the worst, asks Amira Howeidy

“Silence, massacre” ran the caption to a scathing cartoon published in the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper on Tuesday showing a line of faceless, suit-clad men watching as black smoke rises from Gaza. The illustration, a depiction of international and Arab silence over Israel’s “holocaust” in the Gaza Strip, encapsulates the general mood in the Arab world where feelings of frustration and helplessness are mixed with growing apprehension over the direction of events in the conflict-ridden Middle East.

Buat Puteri Solehah III

(sambungan dari Buat Puteri Solehah II)

sister.jpg

Wahai cahaya mata Ummat,

Harapan kaum adam terhadapmu menggunung tinggi. Pastinya dari fitrah setiap adam yang waras, mereka menginginkan wanita-wanita yang mampu memimpin keluarga, yang mampu membentuk generasi agar zuriat yang lahir adalah yang terbaik. Mampu juga berganding bahu mentadbir alam ini kerana kita saling lengkap-melengkapi. Namun, kesediaan puteriku sekalian menjadi wanita yang mampu memimpin generasi amatlah bergantung kepada kesibukan kamu yang sebenarnya. Kiranya kalian tergolong yang sibuk dengan urusan puteri-puteri yang aku maksudkan tadi, maka jauhlah impian dari kenyataan. Read the rest of this entry »




The Story of Barseesa

2 03 2008

Barseesa was a man from the Children of Israel who was a worshiper - a very famous worshiper; an ‘aabid. He had his temple and he devoted himself to worship in his monastery.

Three men from the Children of Israel wanted to go out for jihad in a ghazwah (battle). They had a sister. They didn’t know where to leave her sister, so they said: “Where should we leave her? We can’t leave her alone, should we leave her?” They asked around and they decided that the best place to leave her is with that ‘aabid, the worshiper since he’s the most righteous person and most trustworthy. They’d leave their sister with him and he’ll take care of her.

They went to the ‘aabid, the worshiper, Barseesa. They explained to him the situation that they wanted to go out for the ghazwah and would he please take care of their sister? He said: “I seek refuge to Allah SWT from you, stay away from me!”
