A Somaliland

Bismillah,


And keep your opinion secret or proclaim it, lo! He is Knower of all that is in the breasts (of men). (13) Should He not know what He created? And He is the Subtile, the Aware. (14)
Al-Mulk [67]


Somaliland.

An African country located within the turmoil of surrounding nations. It seceded from Somalia and is now an independent region seeking for acknowledgement as a sovereign nation after its war period. 

A tiny entity of a Muslim country in the rise, 500 000 shilings of Somaliland equates USD $9. You bring $1 and you get in exchange a stack of money.

However, impressively, its telecommunication network is massive. Sales and transactions are done via transaction of mobile credit widely. Wow! So almost all small shopkeepers subscribe to the network, even for hawkers. One of the reason why this happens is because of the fast arise of telecommunication system yet slow economic proliferation. Then it is more comfy to carry a mobile phone around then bunches of money. Well, well, I can see opportunities here :D


It's a small, peaceful Muslim country. Money exchangers load their stackss of notes on the floor at daily markets without guard, let alone rifles. When the azan calls for prayer at every praying time, their and other stall owners cover their items with clothes and altogether head to masjid.




The Al-Bukhary Foundation gives out 30 sponsorships every year for Somalilanders to further studies in Malaysia. How much does it cost eh?


Syed Mokhtar Al-Bukhary is the only Muslim listed in Malaysia's 10 richest people. How come only one Muslim is listed eh? Not to mention he is a Malay. He came from a disadvantaged background. So when he received his very first payment, his mother suggested to him that he should spare some part of his wage for the needies - not all what we have is ours. Then every month, he spared half his wage for his needs while the other half solely for charity! 


Oh my, we have lists to do with our first wage.


Millionaires and billionaires do charity. You do good deeds, you'll be rewarded in return - if only you do not meant the deed to regain profits in return as well. This is sunnatullah!

Our beloved PM should try as hard as he could to avoid from talking about hudud! It's not that it's sensitive - it's taboo. You a Muslim must not say out that you don't have the intention of implementing hudud. Saying that Allah is The Most Brilliant but not for this case, covering up cleverly and safely by saying that the conditions are not suitable. Of course it's not suitable. Yet the vision is not to implement now but it can wait when the conditions are suitable - when the country is prosperous enough everybody lives a decent, contented life yet suddenly a thieve appears from nowhere out of his desire. Then we should go cut his hand for ruining the sacredness of the country.

The vision to implement hudud is a vision to make the country perfectly prosperous and harmony.

Kerana itu Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda dalam firman Allah dalam sebuah hadith Qudsi: “Tidak ada balasan bagi hamba-Ku yang Mukmin, jika Aku ambil kekasihnya dari ahli dunia kemudian ia sabar, melainkan syurga baginya.”
Begitu juga mengeluh. Perbuatan ini sangat dikutuk oleh agama. Kerana itu Rasulullah s.a.w bersabda: “Tiga macam daripada tanda kekafiran terhadap Allah, merobek baju, mengeluh dan menghina nasab orang.”
Dan sabdanya pula, “Mengeluh itu termasuk kebiasaan Jahiliyyah, dan orang yang mengeluh, jika ia mati sebelum taubat, maka Allah akan memotongnya bagi pakaian dari wap api neraka.” (Riwayat oleh Imam Majah)
Semoga kita dijadikan sebagai hamba Tuhan yang sabar dalam menghadapi segala musibah.
Kerana Allah tidak mengutuskan ansor, maka biar saja Allah sebagai ansor :)

Ramadhan 21



Thinketh man that he is to be left aimless? (36) Was he not a drop of fluid which gushed forth? (37) Then he became a clot; then (Allah) shaped and fashioned (38) Then made of him a pair, the male and female (39) Is not He (Who doeth so) be able to bring the dead to life? (40)

Holy Qur'an: Chapter Al-Qiyama, verses 36-40


In the hope for lailatulqadr if any for me.

Ramadhan 13

Bonda
Adalah rimbun
Adalah bunga
Adalah daun
Adalah ranting
Adalah batang
Adalah akar
Adalah pokok
Adalah segalanya.

Bonda
Adalah langit
Adalah laut
Adalah pantai
Adalah bayu
Adalah tanah.

Kerana bondalah anakanda.

Bondalah bonda
Bondalah dari Tuhan.

Ramadhan 4

Bismillah,

Teman lelaki - teman lelaki saya.

Satu Tingkatan 2, satu Tingkatan 1. Semasa saya mula tinggal di asrama, mereka berusia 4 tahun dan 3 tahun. Salah satu yang menjadikan saya homesick amat ialah - tidak dapat melihat mereka membesar di hadapan mata. Setiap dua minggu berjumpa, saya akan, "Mari kakak ukur tinggi. Macam dah makin tinggi." Psiko. Kanak-kanak kan cepat membesar.

Sekarang juga setiap kali pulang kampung selepas beberapa bulan mereka selalu mahu ukur tinggi - sudah berapa rendah saya berbanding mereka. Psiko. Kemudian mahu compare muscle juga.

Walaupun telah lebih tinggi, saya tetap rasa mereka itu budak-budak kecil saya. Hingga bila tiba satu masa bila mahu mencium pipi mereka, saya dapat rasa ketidakrelaan mereka. Kemudian, saya akan minta kebenaran terlebih dahulu, "Boleh kakak cium pipi?" Mula-mula, "Boleh. Sebelah je." Kemudian, "Malulah orang nampak." Kemudian,"Tak payahlah. Aa dah besar."

Kemudian saya sedar mereka telah besar dan saya perlu membiarkan mereka dengan keremajaan mereka.

Hari itu adik perempuan menelefon menceritakan perihal Aa yang memanjat pokok rambutan dan termenung di atasnya. Habislah saya bimbang memikirkan masalah kecelaruan emosi remaja. Bila saya bercakap dengannya katanya, "Biasa je Kakak. Tak ada aktiviti menarik. Kena cari aktiviti mencabar." -_-

Kemudian saya sedar mereka telah besar dan saya perlu membiarkan mereka dengan kedewasaan mereka.

Kakak juga melepaskan saya apabila saya berkata kepadanya, "Kakak, saya tak ada hati." Sebelumnya saya beralasan-beralasan.

Ini fasa kehidupan. Apabila seseorang itu telah dapat menyatakan dengan jelas pendiriannya dan apa yang ia mahukan, ia telah berada di fasa seterusnya yang lebih dewasa, dan kita tidak perlu bimbang-bimbang lagi.

"Saya mahu .. err.. er .."

Selalunya kalau sesuatu itu kita sudah betul berusaha dan berdoa, jika masih tidak boleh, maka lebih baik lepaskan saja. Tapi, projek ... Jadi sayapun bergelandangan meminta orang lain juga tolong mendoakan saya. Mungkin doa kamu lebih makbul, dan saya akan berusaha T_T


"Saya mahu redha Allah."
