Basically, if we thought of Malays, means Islam is the religion - the way of life. Sometimes, for others (non-muslims) in Malaysia, choosing Islam as their religion also meaning that converted themselves to Malays....Maka, dalam mengikut arus rentak dan ragam masyarakat Melayu-Islam, didapati ada banyak hal yang perlu direnung bersama. Lately, banyak isu membabitkan anak2 muda timbul; masalah sosial yang amat kritikal, masalah ekonomi bersabit dengan pengangguran, masalah keciciran dalam pendidikan etc..etc...
What had happened to our community? What'd happened to our latest generation? Paling sedih apabila tanggapan tentang melayu-Islam lemah, mundur, jumud, tak boleh dipercayai etc..etc...sering kedengaran. Perkara ini mesti dicantas segera. Masalahnya- masyarakat hanya memejamkan mata melihat kemungkaran didepan mata. Kononnya 'Jaga tepi kain sendiri'...well actually lebih kepada bersikap SELLFISH! ada waktunya pula masyarakat sudah lali dan biasa dengan kemungkaran. Masyarakat menjadi sudah biasa dan merasakan tidak apa-apa membuat mungkar yang 'sedikit' (pada pandangan individu tertentu). sesunggguhnya, tidak dinafikan bahawa sukarnya melalui ranjau untuk menegakkan ma'ruf dan menumbangkan mungkar. Adakala rasa tidak termampu kerana tiada kekuatan jitu, tapi as a muslim, kita kena berjuang untuk melawan ranjau tersebut.
Sesungguhhya, banyak risiko perlu dihadapi bila berdepan dengan masalah sosial, pendidikan, ekonomi dan budaya. Segala kemungkaran yang menimpa masyarakat tidak mampu dibendung. Segala kekeruhan yang menimpa ahli keluarga dan sahabat handai sendiri juga tak mampu nak dihalang. Kadang2, kuasa untuk mencegah dan menegah pun tidak berani ditegakkan. lebih2 lagi jika wujud sejalur sifat takut, atau segan dalam diri.
Memang jalan untuk menjadi da'i amat sukar. Segala kemuliaan, kebaikan, kemurniaan perlu dicari dengan sabar dan tabah serta cekal dan waja. Tapi demi ma'ruf, ayuh JANGAN putus asa!!!

WHY IS IT LIKE THAT?
Salaam.
Today, I really got headache. My migraine is attacking me again. Last night, I just could not sleep well. I was thinking about a lot of things.....Things really bothering me since yesterday.
Yesterday, we had a big ceremony; The opening ceremony of our university campus by The Sultan . It was a big event though, everybody were so busy and most of them were so eager to meet the sultan. Anyway there were things really confusing........
I have my own principles in life. Sebagai seorang muslim, hidup kita mesti tetap berpegang teguh pada hukum Allah walau dalam apa jua keadaan. Jangan sesekali meletakkan kepentingan kehidupan semasa dan keseronokan dunia semata-mata melebihi apa yang telah termaktub dalam Al-Quran. Ya Allah...ampunilah hambaMu ini, sesungguhnya aku tidak mampu berkata-kata melihat ketidakbenaran di depan mataku. Sesungguhnya hati terlalu sedih kerana tidak mampu menegur melihat................
Amal Maaruf, Nahi Mungkar - di mana? ada orang yang kononnya faham Islam, tapi sanggup mengetepikan kefahaman hukum Allah kerana malu alah dan kononnya 'saya tak boleh mengelak laaa'. Actually, we can say NO if we want, it is just a matter of 'WANT or DON'T WANT'.....semuanya bergantung pada diri sendiri. Macamana nak membimbing orang lain kalau diri sendiri pun tak boleh nak bimbing? Tak payah susah-susah ikut jamaah kalau tak berani nak membuat Nahi Mungkar, even pada diri sendiri!!
Why do some muslims considered certain conditions as 'darurat' where as it is actually not? Kenapa nak memudahkan hukum Allah untuk dunia yang tidak kekal ini? Saya tau, people might as well say, Elehh...awak pun bukannya baik sangat. I realized that. I knew it, for certaint. But, if we are able to prevent ourselves from doing things against Islam, we MUST do it!
Ya Allah, bantulah hamba-hambaMU yang berjuang untuk menegakkan hukum Allah di bumi Mu ini, Ya Allah. Ampunilah dosa-dosa mereka .......

FIRST TIME
Salam. This is my first time writing in a blog. Never try any before. But I was thinking lately may be I should have a space 'somewhere' where I can write something useful to share with others (stories, experience, feeling etc.). I am always interested with the surroundings around me, especially concerning political and social matters.
Suasana di Malaysia lately, a bit worrying me. Saya memikirkan keadaan yang akan berlaku pada beberapa tahun akan datang. Saya ada 3 orang anak yang sedang membesar (9,7 and 4 years old). Looking at the situation recently, I think I really have to put extra effort to guide them what is right, and what is wrong. Mendidik anak-anak zaman mencabar ini tak semudah semasa zaman ibubapa mendidik kita dulu. I remember last time my parents did not facing a lot of problem handling me. Tinggal di perkampungan FELDA, sekolah pun di sekolah FELDA (sapa kata anak FELDA tak boleh berjaya? I strongly reject this idea). But still I was one of the best students in the state. Semasa cuti, masa saya banyak di habiskan bermain dengan kawan-kawan di ladang kelapa sawit yang menghijau, main di paya, keluar pagi balik petang. Balik petang dah tak nampak rupa (comot!!). My mom I remember would wait for me in front of our small house and zapp!! saya akan kena 'libas' sekali sebab keluar rumah the whole day. But I would never stop doing the same thing everytime cuti.
But I was thinking, at that particular time, parents usually did not have the same worries as what we parents nowadays have. Dulu-dulu, keluar bermain di luar tak ada kes culik, kena bawak lari etc...etc.. but nowadays I myself , nak bagi anak-anak main even in our own compartment without me together with them, NEVER! As a result, my kids menghabiskan masa dengan indoor games, and I felt very guilty because they do not have the chances to do outdoor activities as what I have when I was a kid. Pity my kids.....
