There is none

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

there is no muslim unless he dies as a muslim

there is no kafir unless he dies as a kafir

don't be arrogant.

how sure are you of your claim being accepted by God?

how can you?

a muslim is in a perpetual state of thankfulness, never once being filled with pride. arrogance is not befitting someone who has truly submitted. ask ourselves that.

tiadalah ia muslim melainkan dia mati dengan Islam

tiadalah ia kafir melainkan dia mati dengan kufurnya

menghukum manusia bukanlah tugas engkau, akhirat itu bukanlah taklukan mu.

sang hamba suka berlakun raja,

yang papa berlagak kaya,

yang dangkal mengaku bijaksana,

itulah namanya manusia.

"لا حول ولاقوة إلا بالله"

empty love

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

many are those who profess love with their lips,

but true love is ever silent.

it is like the sun that shines its light,

without making a sound,

at dawn, it is the cock that crows.

it is the wind that blows,

refreshing the surroundings,

but it is the trees that whispers.

it never claims " you owe me".

it is forever giving without ever asking back.

madah dan kata manis si pujangga,

kosong belaka,

sekadar menari di bibiran,

tanpa makna.

hiduplah untuk memberi sebanyak-banyaknya, dan bukannya untuk mengambil sebanyak-banyaknya.

ilmu yang engkau cari, adakah untuk memberi, atau mengambil?

apa lagi nak dikata. kosong dunia, kosong akhirat, Allah jualah.

"لا حول ولاقوة إلا بالله"

New pair of eyes

we don't need anything new,

what's needed is a fresh perspective,

a new understanding of the old sayings,

the actual meaning,

of cliches that has lost their meaning.

see the world through fresh pair of eyes.

not empty eyeballs staring blankly.

tengok dunia dengan mata kosong,

sebab kepala hotak pun kosong,

cuma pandai omong,

omong kosong,

peluru cuma tinggal kelongsong,

bagai menembak lohong,

manusia memang pembohong.

Vicious cycle

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

It's easy to complain, there is no point in admitting your faults if you have no intention to actually change it.

so we've been taught to admit to our mistakes. we've been taught it is good to be humble.

but have we actually made the effort to change these mistakes?

have we actually been humble?

noticing any humbleness in your self is a sure sign of arrogance. stop deluding yourself fool!

we know a lot of what is right in this world, but how many actually do right?

no doubt, we know a lot, but very few understand.

many claim to know Islam, very few has understood Islam. fewest of the few are those who have tasted Islam.

it is true for any religion. if we have tasted the real essence of our respective religions, there won't be as much dissonance as seen today.

those who know, can elaborate on it eloquently. their tongues are very impressive, but their hearts are void of this effect.

people yield easily, life is merely for impressing other people. superficial values are held even if it means sacrificing their own family and friends just for some inane chatter.

indeed it is futile to live for other people. surrounding the self with well wishers is like an anesthesia. it numbs your sense, unaware of the hole you are in.

feel good even in a pile of excrement. that's just how we are, how we like it. let the wound fester rather than do something about it. we are just too focussed on distraction. an empty mind likes to distract itself. distraction is an attraction, the most potent one known to man.

that's the difference between knowing and tasting. realize that the world doesn't owe you anything.

cakap memang senang. buah rambutan itu memang manis. cili itu memang pedas. tetapi kalau belum merasa bagaimanakah manis nya? manis gula? manis madu? manis tebu?

diamlah engkau! talam dua muka, engkau nak letak gelas dan pinggan kat mana? atas kepala engkau pun jadilah! dunia tidak terhutang apa apa pun dengan engkau.

Meaning of Obedience

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

If in the time of worship, it does not stir in you a sense of humbleness, meekness and helplessness in front of your Lord almighty,

Instead it is filled with arrogance, self-righteousness and envy,

then whatever it is you are engaged in is anything but worshiping your one true Creator.

Remember death constantly,

for it will soften your heart.

"Dan mintalah pertolongan (kepada Allah) dengan jalan sabar dan mengerjakan solat dan sesungguhnya sembahyang itu amatlah berat kecuali kepada orang-orang yang khusyuk"

~ Surah Al-Baqarah, ayat 45

"Dan Dialah yang menerima taubat dari hamba-hambaNya dan memaafkan kesalahan-kesalahan dan mengetahui apa yang kamu kerjakan"

~ Surah As-Syuraa, ayat 25

Tuhan kah yg disembah, atau diri yang disolatkan? bergerak ataupun digerakkan?

adakah kudrat diri yang bersolat ataupun adalah karunia daripada Nya jua?

hendak diri, adakah itu sudah cukup?

bukankah tidak bergerak sebesar zarah pun tanpa izin Nya. Jangan terlalu senang dan mudah merasa puas dengan diri dan memandang hina orang yang lalai.

semuanya dalam perancangan Nya jua. Jangan dilihat kesalahan orang, butakan mata, dan hidupkanlah hati.
