The Purpose of My Writings

In The Name Of ALlah, Most Compassionate Most Merciful


It has been a while since I last wrote here in my blog. I love to write but time is not on my side lately. The time I have is only to write some comments while forwarding emails to some egroups that I join. Most of the time, I forwarded them without any addition. Or if I want a topic (tazkirah) to send to my friends and acquaintances, I google search a topic on Islam and forwarded as it is. My other passions are reading online news and blogs, making new friends and upgrading my IT knowledge.

Some people have been kind enough to send me pictures or graphic emails although I don't really know them. I know they are also Muslims who meant well since the emails are informative, motivational and inspiring to the eyes, mind and soul (like this pic). Sometimes they are just pure entertaining and pressure reliever..!

I like to write things and topics that could remind us of our responsibilities towards God, family and society. I'm not a genius nor a district preacher who graduated in any Islamic studies. My background are business and accounting. In my eyes, I look high and I really salute one who is called a "Protaz", that is someone who is a professional in his or her field such as engineering, business or medicine, but at the same time is a good preacher of Islam, doing 'dakwah'
(spread Islamic knowledge) in the way of Allah. Protaz is an acronym for Professional & Ustaz (professor : Spanish = teacher / murabbi)

Apart from that, I like to observe peoples' conducts and try to identify them if they are in accordance with Islamic ethics and way of life. This is the case if they are Muslims. I don't really look for non-Muslims conducts, but indirectly learnt a lot about them through their comments in some blogs, and also on daily news.

I am not judging people by my mind's standards but by what I learnt from Al Quran and Hadiths, and also from the sahabahs (the Prophet's friends) or peoples' previous experiences. From my own perspective I'd write in my blog to give reminder or tazkirah to my ownself and others what it should be or should not be according to Islam. I hope I could make some difference in peoples' attitudes and actions, so as to make them better persons. This is what we call 'Islah' in Arabic, which means reform. That is a great dream or ambition, but The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) asked us to make dakwah continously and to deliver from him although it is just a word. He has bestowed upon us something like a knightship to go and fight in a battle, only that it (dakwah) is a greater responsibility which cannot be taken lightly.

Everyone who claims to be Muslim must do dakwah, as much as he is capable according to his knowledge. One must not wait till he has lots of knowledge to start preaching other people. It is a must or 'fadhu 'ain' on him or her to do so as soon as he knows the knowledge he got is the truth in Islam.

It is good though before doing the dakwah, one acquires knowledge as much as he can, especially the knowledge of 'makrifatuLlah', or knowlegde of identifying Allah, the oneness of ALlah ie. who He is with all His attributes, 99 names and greatness, and what He wants us to do on this earth. Only through dakwah that's carried out with 'hikmah' or wisdom is enjoined in Islam. Dakwah without wisdom will only tarnish the Muslims and the message would be rejected.

In Islam, Allah is viewed as All-Wise (Qur'an 45:37) and messengers are given scripture and wisdom (Qur'an 2:129). Muslims believe that those who reject Islam are rejecting wisdom. "The parable of those who reject Faith is as if one were to shout Like a goat-herd, to things that listen to nothing but calls and cries: Deaf, dumb, and blind, they are void of wisdom." (Qur'an 2:171).

For now, I will end here. InsyaAllah, God willing, I 'd be given more time in the near future to write again, about more good things that Islam enjoins and commands us to do for our own - mankind benefit.

[16:10] He sends down from the sky water for your drink, and to
grow trees for your benefit.
[16:68] And your Lord inspired the bee: build homes in mountains
and trees, and in (the hives) they build for you.
[22:18] Do you not realize that to GOD prostrates everyone in the
heavens and the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars,
and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and many
people? Many others among the people are committed to doom.
Whomever GOD shames, none will honor him. Everything is in
accordance with GOD's will.
[27:60] Who is the One who created the heavens and the earth?
Who is the One who sends down to you from the sky water,
whereby we produce gardens full of beauty - you could not
possibly manufacture its trees? Is it another god with GOD?
Indeed, they are people who have deviated.
[31:27] If all the trees on earth were made into pens, and the
ocean supplied the ink, augmented by seven more oceans, the
words of GOD would not run out. GOD is Almighty, Most Wise.

Harapan Tidak Buta

Harapan Tidak Buta

Berjalan di jalan yang terang
agar tiada jatuh dan tersungkur
di persimpangan
Perhati tika dijalanan
bimbang datang ujian
menduga keimanan

Sudah menjadi suratan
setiap sesuatu
bersifat sementara....
Jerit perit di dunia
terungkai dek pawanan
hembusan ketakwaan
Pilu melihat mereka
dihimpit kemiskinan
yang serba kekurangan...
Pekat walau sedikit
terukir keredhaan
di wajah ketenangan

Masih ada harapan
ubah nasib kehidupan
bekalan ilmu yang berguna

Berjalan dijalan yang terang
agar tiada jatuh dan tersungkur
di persimpangan
Perhati tika di jalanan
bimbang datang ujian
menduga keimanan

Berusaha hindar keculasan
waspada kefakiran
menjerumuskan kekufuran
Maruah di bela dijaga
tidak meminta-minta
hanya Tuhan segala........
