Pak Lah acting nice..

Suddenly he tried to act nice.. knowing that his popularity among the ppl is sinking. Tgk muka pun dah geram!

But i’d say it’s a good practice for politicians, to experience themselves the hardships the rakyat have to endure traveling daily,suffering from inefficient transportation system. Not just that! They also have to experience the consequences of all their policy failures.

Mestilah, now that the inflation is rising, oil-hike, political instability they caused and god knows what’s next, the ‘Bee End’ gomen have to act fast!

As for the commuter ride, i hope it’s not just another populist act by the political desperados to increase their approval rating. Teruk la negara bila jd mcm ni..

We want change!! i’ve totally lost confidence in Pak Lah 5 months ago!

Is it hard to memorize the whole Qur’an?

okay2.. this shall be my last entry for today. tetiba je ada a bunch of entries in a row.

i’m off to bukit jalil LRT station in a few minutes to pick up a friend.

so whilst i wait for him, i thought this article would do. i took this piece from bro muthanna’s blog (never met him pun)

Is it hard to memorize the whole Qur’an?

Let’s just do some maths.

I can show you how it is “do”able in less than 2 years!!!

There are 604 pages in the Quran(Mashaf Madani)

There are 15 lines in a page.

If you divide those 15 lines to our 5 daily prayers:

Therefore, 15/5= 3 lines.

If you can sit for a while after each daily prayer to memorize the 3 lines, and “practise”(recite) it in each of your “nawafil”/”sunnah” after each your daily prayer, therefore you have already memorized one whole page in a day!

Thus, it will take you 604 days to complete which is exactly 1 year 7 months 29 day

So, is it hard?

iltizam

Iltizam adlh salah satu tajuk yg kami minta pak syarif isikan dlm satu program nasional baru2 ni.

Pak Syarif adlh seorang ikhwah indonesia yg bekerja sbg pensyarah di sebuah IPTA tempatan. Kupasannya bagus banget sih! cuma aku sedikit distracted bermain dgn solahuddin the warrior di belakang dewan.

Tapi tujuan entry ni bukannya untuk berkongsi dgn detail kandungan penyampaiannya (nnti aku upload dkt file section - widget paling bawah sblh kanan page ni utk manfaat bersama). tapi cuma nk sentuh satu elemen penting dlm iltizam, iaitu istiqamah.

umumnya, iltizam boleh diertikan sbg perlakuan di mana kita bersungguh2 berpegang teguh/erat dgn sesuatu. ia agak synonymous dgn erti istiqamah iaitu jalan yang lurus yang tidak ada penyimpangan.

oleh kerana itu, org yg beriltizam dgn islam seharusnya akan terus istiqamah dlm beramal walau mcm mana hebat pun ujian internal& external yg ditimpakan ke atasnya. muslim yg multazim adlh muslim yg mustaqim (kekal istiqamah & konsisten).

Jadi persoalannya, dlm konteks seorang muslim yg ditaklifkan amanah sbg seorg da’ie & bekerja scr kolektif, bagaimana hendak istiqamah dlm beramal?

Aku suka utk ringkaskan jawapan kpd 3;

1) cari bi’ah yg solehah (persekitaran / suasana yg baik)

2) pastikan kita ada usrah yg berjalan (ditarbiyyah)

3) pastikan kita membawa usrah (mentarbiyyah - ada binaan dakwah)

Ini antara kesimpulan drpd bermu’ayashah (berinteraksi) dgn org2 lama yg masih lagi tegar bekerja. Walau mcm mana hebat pun seseorang itu; baik dr thaqafah islamiyyah dan amal2 kebaikan yg pernah dilakukannya, dia tetap takkan terlepas drpd tipudaya syaitan yg berbagai bentuk. Apatah lagi org yg x hebat mcm kita ni, kita sgt perlukan 3 elemen ini.

Bi’ah, ditarbiyyah & mentarbiyyah seharusnya menjadi asbab (sebab2) diturunkan keberkatan dlm hidup kita, disucikan jiwa kita & dipermudahkan urusan seharian kita. Inilah faktor2 yg mampu membuatkan kita sentiasa berdisiplin & mendorong kita membuat amal2 kebaikan dgn ikhlas, tanpa jemu & keluh kesah.

Apa pula pesan dari al-quran? Allah mengingatkan kita utk terus memotivasikan diri dgn salat & sabar. Ini kunci kekuatan utk terus mendapat berkat pertolongan drpd Allah.

Jadikanlah sabar dan shalat sebagai penolongmu. Dan sesungguhnya yang demikian itu sungguh berat, kecuali bagi orang-orang yang khusyu’ (2:45)

Semoga dgn doa rabithah yg kita ucapkan mampu terus mengikat hati2 kita utk terus iltizam di atas jalan kebenaran; dulu,kini & selamanya. Seperti mana iltizamnya generasi awwalun drpd madrasah tarbiyyah ar-rasul s.a.w. insya-Allah..
