Nasyid 'Asma Allah' by Sami Yusuf

(1) Sami Yusuf, warga Britain berketurunan Iran ini, digelar 'Rock
Star of the Muslim world'. Tapi jgn salah faham, dia x nyanyi lagu
rock pun, malahan kontradiksinya dia nyanyi lagu nasyid.

(2) Saya cadangkan penggiat-penggiat nasyid Malaysia tgk seni Sami
Yusuf mencipta lagu nasyid, fresh indulgence. Dia pakar instruments
music mcm piano dll. Bukan macam kita, byk nyanyi group, beramai-ramai
kat taman sambil 'menari-nari anak'. Kalau anda nak tahu, lagu Asma
Allah ni dijadikan lagu tema Jejak Rasul di TV3, Ramadhan lepas.

(3) Lagu Asma Allah ni mmg nasyid yg sungguh refreshing..dan membuat
kita mengingatkan diri kita, siapa diri kita sebenarnya, dan
tanggungjawab kita pada agama. Cuba anda cari video clipnya di
youtube. Video clip antarabangsa tu. Bila saya lihat lirik ni, hati
jadi sgt sayu...

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,
La Ilaaha Illahu, Al Malikul Quddoos
(God is Greater, God is Greater
There is no god but Him, the King, the Most Holy)

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,
Ya Rahmanu irham dha'fana
(O Most Compassionate! Have compassion on our weakness)

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,
Ya Ghaffaaru ighfir thunoubana
(O Forgiver! Forgive our sins)

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,
Ya Sattaaru ostour 'ouyoubana
(O Concealer! Conceal our defects)

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,
Ya Mu'izzu a'izza ummatana
(O Bestower of honour! Bestow honour on our Ummah)

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,
Ya Mujeebu ajib du'aa'ana
(O Responsive One! Answer our prayers)

Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,
Ya Lateefu oltof binaa
(O Gentle One! Show gentleness to us)

Oltof binaa
(Show gentleness to us)

Indecisive

(1) It is almost certain that in our lives, sometimes we need to make difficult choices.

 

(2) These decisions that we chose unavoidably will effect our lifes. This is why some of us might be scared of what it may brings. We also need help from others to choose for us, even we know what we should take using our logic...most probably we don't want to take full blame if our decision go disarray.

 

(3) This sort of thing happens to everybody, including me.

 

(4) There are many steps to make decision. I will not elaborate about this, since many of us already know how. Some of you maybe more expert than I am. Or you can search internet to find those steps.

 

(5) In the end, after making all preparations and after choosing what's the best, one thing you must know is WHY YOU MAKE THAT DECISION. If you understand why you took your decision, you will not grief for whatever happen after. You can't expect everything will go on your way. All we can do is prepare the best.

 

(6) It's life, it can't be perfect isn't it?

 

 

New job

(1) Guys, I've got a new job today.

(2) This morning I went to an interview session with the company's GM. What was first started quite serious (at least for me) turned out to be a leasure. We chat about many things, including girlfriends and the origin of my name (he asked me about my name, since he was unfamiliar with it. I told him what's 'Sollehin' in arabic means) and then came the most enlightening phrase.."You're 26 but still not married.." haha.

(3) After the session, there was a line tour by production manager. After the session end, I went back to my current workplace. At 3 p.m, the new company's representative contacted me and inform.."You got the job".

(4) I will start working on there on 1st February 2010. But my service end at NEC on the 22nd of January. So...1 week time to relax ;-)

(5) Now all of you know why I cut my hair

Riana's marriage

Siap ada menari bagai..tarian ape sy x tau





(1) Riana, my former coursemate in Material Sciences programme in UKM marriage ceremony was held at her family's house at Pandamaran, Klang.

(2) Riana was also one of my teammates under Prof Dr Sahrim's conducted thesis group. We were researching natural rubber composite back then. She was very helpful, providing me mostly with lecture's notes during our time back there.

(3) Anyway, congratulation to her! ;-)

Hair cut

(1) My officemates started to complaint about my long hair since 2 months ago, eventhough I felt my hair was not too long, even until now.

(2)I've told them I will not cut it. I wanted to keep it long. But, due to a reason, I guess I need to look 'smart' again next week, meaning...short and smart hair style.

(3) Why I need to look smart? Well, I will answer if everything go smooth next week. Anyway, this is the longest hair I've ever 'nurtured' in my almost 26 years old life. Oh yah, please excuse the kain pelikat ;-)

Sound bites... Aurat

(1) When we're talking about this issue, some of us will insist that its depend on one's choice, or his/her acceptance towards it.

(2) Nevertheless, I personally think we need to discuss it further, since like it or not, it contains is among basics or core of our religion. The problem is now, people tend to know the commandment to take care of their aurat came from Holy God Himself, rather than understanding why it has to be done so. Unfortunately, maybe not all of us are emphasizing to make our children, families, subordinates or students understand the 'why' inside this issue further, or maybe even we do not have enough understanding at all.

(3) I will give a simple example: When I was studying (or should I say even now), when we guys get together and go hanging around somewhere, especially with abundant of people, we will easily notice 'hot' girls around. Sometimes when they approach us, then automatically seducing (maybe irritating) words will come out from our mounths..

"Hi adik manis"

"Peewiiitt..wah cun nye"

"Hi wak, no tepon sy -----"

In the end, we all laugh together. And sometime, naughty words will come out. I will not elaborate what are those words.

(4) Then here come the true muslimah, with her full hijab, nice and neat long shirt and long skirt or pants, covering her body exclusively for her rightful husband (InsyaAllah) alone...walking calmly but surely towards us.

".........

Guess what? We all remain silence.

Some of us who were a little bit naughty than the others will probably will say

"Assalamualaikum.."

Then, we will all discuss about what we have encountered..and the most words that will come out of our mounths are "Pehh kalau dia jadi bini aku kan best.."

(5) Anyway, a story is a story. The important thing to ponder is why, all of a sudden, behaviourial change inside our medula oblongatas.

(6) This is the most simple but powerful example. Most of us wil probably understand now. ALLAH COMMANDED THIS COMMANDMENT TO PROTECT WOMEN/MEN FROM HARRASMENT. It goes to the very basic of human nature. Human body was subject to fantasy even in the beginning of time. This is absolutely true especially to men. Each men has its own liking at women body parts. For a normal man, most probably they can handle some temptations. But for those who are twisted mind, even a simple temptation can bring them down, resulting horrific cases such as rape and even murder. Even the good man/woman, if constantly being seduced, most probably will fall.

(7) In order to AVOID PROBLEM FROM THE VERY BASICS, the commandment came. Muslimah have to wear hijab, a clothes and skirts/pants that will cover wholly their body parts and their shape, and only leaving their faces for the world to see. In some cases, women with most beautiful faces even have to covered their faces, to dismiss any temptation they might commit. For those who understand this clearly, it is not discrimination, it is an honour.

Ladies...Allah Himself is honouring you, protecting you, gracing you...

(8) For men, it is a little different, for women are not easily tempted with what they see in men's body. Most of them will only be 'turned on' when touching involved. That is why men only have to cover about 1/3rd of their bodies, at specific place.

(9) I hope my message is being delivered to all readers

Perkara ajaib ttg minda kita!

Forwarded from a friend.

1) Tenaga ajaib tersembunyi dalam minda Percaya atau tidak apabila anda sentiasa memikirkan tentang kenyang, anda tidak akan lapar. Buktinya apabila anda menjalani ibadah puasa, anda tidak berfikir pun tentang makan sepanjang hari, tetapi anda tetap mampu melakukan aktiviti-aktiviti kehidupan sebagaimana biasa. Padahal pada hari-hari biasa, awal pagi lagi anda sudah terasa hendak makan. Demikianlah apabila anda tidak lansung memikirkan tentang penat, anda akan cergas dan bertenaga sepanjang hari. Sebaliknya apabila anda mula berkata "Aku malaslah hari ini", "Aku boringla hari ni", anda akan benar-benar malas dan boring. Maka jika anda ingin cemerlang dan berjaya, bijak-bijaklah berhubung dengan imaginasi. Imaginasi boleh menjadikan anda apa sahaja. Daripada sini kita boleh simpulkan, "Kita sendirilah yang meminta setiap apa yang berlaku pada diri kita." 2) Berkomunikasi dengan minda ke minda Apabila anda mengingat seseorang, dan jika ingatan anda itu jujur, ikhlas dan bertanggungjawab, dan tiada sebarang gangguan, anda sebenarnya telah pun menghantar gelombang minda kepada orang itu. Anda mungkin mendapat tindak balas yang menakjubkan. Jika ingatan anda terhadapnya adalah yang baik-baik, dalam masa yang sama insyaALLAH dia akan mengingat yang baik-baik juga tentang anda. Maka kerana itulah sesekali pada saat-saat tertentu anda terkenangkan seseorang yang telah lama anda tidak temui secara tiba-tiba. Barangkali pada saat itu orang berkenaan sedang memikirkan tentang anda dan gelombang mindanya telah mengembara dan akhirnya sampai kepada anda. Gelombang yang lemah akan tersasar atau tidak sampai ke matlamat ataupun ghaib begitu sahaja ditelan gelombang-gelombang yang lebih kuat yang sentiasa bersimpang siur. Gelombang minda akan lebih hebat kesannya terhadap mereka yang mempunya jalinan emosi ataupun pertalian darah yang rapat misalnya suami isteri, ibu dan anak, adik beradik kembar dan rakan seiras. 3) Daya magnet dalam fikiran beremosi Tahukah anda apabila anda membenci seseorang, anda sebenarnya telah pun menarik kebencian orang itu terhadap anda. Fikiran yang beremosi ada daya tarikan bagaikan magnet yang akan menarik sebarang pemikiran yang sealiran. Sebagaimana gelombang minda tadi, kebencian akan terhasil dalam bentuk gelombang-gelombang negatif yang mengembara dan akhirnya sampai kepada orang yang anda benci itu. Oleh itu, seseorang yang menjadikan imaginasinya sebagai salah satu laluan untuk kejayaan tidak boleh berfikiran negatif. Dia kena berfikiran positif supaya pemikiran yang sama akan dipulangkan kepadanya. 4) Mengawal minda untuk lebih berjaya Tiada siapapun yang boleh membuatkan anda marah jka anda sendiri tidak ingin marah. Soal emosi yang tersentuh adalah perasaan yang boleh dikawal jika anda mahu mengawalnya. Jika anda memang tidak mahu marah anda tidak akan marah. Orang boleh menjadi terlalu sedih kerana dia memberi laluan kepada dirinya untuk berasa sedih. Kesedihan yang melampau-lampau pula bermula daripada emosi yang ditarik-tarik, diiya-iyakan, diransang-ransang dan disungguh-sungguhka n, ibarat api yang dicurahkan petrol ke atasnya. Api akan menyambar hebat padahal jika dibiarkan sahaja, lambat laun ia akan padam sendiri. Kejayaan pertama orang yang berjaya ialah dapat mengawal emosinya. 5) Dua pemikiran dalam masa yang sama Anda mungkin pernah melihat seseorang yang beremosi pada satu masa tetapi pada masa yang sama bercakap seolah-olah tidak menghadapi sebarang masalah dan ingat, orang ini bukanlah seorang pelakon. Seorang ayah memarahi anaknya dengan kemarahan yang beriya-iya tetapi dalam masa yang sama dia menghadiahkan anda senyuman dan mula bercakap lembut dengan anda. Itu tanda permulaan bagi seorang yang dapat mengawal emosinya. Seorang yang ingin menggapai kejayaan melalui imaginasi perlu lebih pandai mengawal emosi. 6) Minda teransang melalui solat dan doa Solat itu doa dan doa itu perlu dalam proses kehidupan seseorang manusia. Manusia perlu berdoa untuk menjalinkan hubungan yag erat antara dirinya dengan alam ghaib dan yang terpenting dengan PENCIPTA-nya. Realitinya orang yang sentiasa berdoa dan sentiasa menunaikan solat tepat pada waktunya atau lebih baik pada awal waktu akan dapat membentuk dan meningkatkan kekuatan minda melalui fikiran yang lebih terfokus. Seorang yang berjaya adalah seorang yang tenang dan ketenangan mutlak ataupun kemuncak bagi ketenangan adalah solat. Hakikat ketenangan tidak ada dalam diri seseorang yang ingkar solat atau tidak pernah berdoa
