Ramadhan Kali Ini

Rabu, 03 Ogos 2011


Salam alaikum..


Fuh~ Fuh~ *tiup habuk. bajet..

Bulan Ramadhan datang lagi.

Tahun ni tak dapat rasa berpuasa kat rumah. Tahun lepas sempat seminggu, lepas tu raya. Dua tahun lepas, seminggu sebelum raya dah kena fly datang Jordan. Ada juga la puasa di rumah. tapi tahun ni tak ada. Langsung.. sedih.

Entah kenapa rasa agak sunyi tahun ni. Mungkin mengenangkan nasib diri di perantauan agaknya. Ayat klasik.. Mungkin pasal tahun ni housewives balik agaknya. Eh, bukan! House mates balik. Tinggal sorang-sorang je nanti. Tapi tak apa.. Plan cuti nampak sudah ada bayang-bayangnya. Hehe

Tadi sempat berbuka dengan kawan-kawan sepermainan. Tambah pula dengan nasihat-nasihat abang long a.k.a penulis bakal jutawan Irbid, Hilal Asyraf. Sapa tak kenal..

Alhamdulillah.. Dapat semangat. Time terawih pun teringat-ingat. Sampai terpaksa stop 4 rakaat je. Tak mampu nak concentrate lagi dah. *alasan

Biarlah saya zahirkan dalam entry ini. Harap tak lupa..



1. Bersyukur dapat masuk Ramadhan




Pejam celik pejam celik, dah banyak kali kita masuk bulan Ramadhan. Kalau saya, dah 20 kali. 20! Rasa apa bila dah masuk?

Seronok? Best? Raya dah dekat?

Rasa sayang.. Haa rasa sayang! Rasa kasih sayang tuhan.

Bulan puasa ni penuh dengan rahmat dan keampunan. Pintu keampunan terbuka luas. Rugi sangat tak masuk. Tambah, pahala berlipat-lipat ganda. Kalau ditakdirkan jumpa malam Al Qadar lagilah.

Kita dalam bulan-bulan sebelum ni banyak buat dosa, pahala kurang. Taubat pun belum lagi. Doa pun jarang-jarang..

Tapi, Allah nak juga kasi ampun sama kita. Bagi kita jumpa Ramadhan. MashaAllah...

"Alah.. tahun depan ada lagi."

Sapa kata Ramadhan tahun depan untuk kita? Ada? Belum tentu.

31 Julai lepas, sehari sebelum Ramadhan saya dapat berita bekas guru sekolah saya dulu baru meninggal dunia. Semoga Allah mencucuri rahmat ke atas rohnya. Tercampak juga ana bila menerima berita tersebut. Rasa sangat-sangat bersyukur bila dipilih lagi jadi tetamu Ramadhan tahun ni.

Bersyukur satu hal. Tapi, kenalah manfaatkan sepenuhnya bila dah dapat. Ada peluang ini, gunakan sebaiknya.



2. Puasa adat, Puasa ibadat




Kalau kita perasan, tiap-tiap tahun kita puasa. Apa yang difikirkan bila kita mula puasa? Qiam? Quran? Baju raya? Kuih raya?

Dulu-dulu selalu orang kata, tak puasa tak leh raya. Memang niat nak mendidik anak-anak puasa. Tapi lama-kelamaan, raya secara tak langsung jadi keutamaan budak-budak.

Semalam, saya saja duduk-duduk sambil menikmati air cond Masjid Universiti Yarmouk. Sini tengah musim panas. Tempat ada air cond memang macam syurga. Hehe..

Saya ternampak lima enam orang budak-budak tengah menghafal Quran dalam masjid. Lepas Zohor sampai Asar. Dekat-dekat 4 jam juga lah. Non stop. Berhenti kejap-kejap je main dekat-dekat air cond. Mereka tengah cuti sekolah sekarang ni. Nak nangis rasa.

"Kenapa lah Ramadhan aku tak macam ni time kecik-kecik dulu."


Tapi kan..

Masa Ramadhan boleh terawih sampai 20 rakaat, bulan-bulan lain sepatutnya tak ada masalah lah nak solat kat masjid rasanya.

Masa Ramadhan boleh habis 30juz baca Quran, bulan-bulan lain kadang-kadang sampai seminggu tak pernah  duduk buka Quran.

Bila fikir balik, dah jadi adat dah puasa kita ni. Boleh kata, tak ada kesan. Na'uzubillah..

3. Berbekallah dengan takwa

Wahai orang-orang yang beriman! Kamu diwajibkan berpuasa sebagaimana diwajibkan atas orang-orang yang dahulu daripada kamu, supaya kamu bertaqwa.

(Al Baqarah : 183)

Kenapa agar kamu bertakwa?? Kenapa bukan agar kamu bersyukur ke.. Berfikir ke..

Kerana puasa melatih kita erti taqwa. Sesuatu yang memerlukan kejujuran antara hamba dan tuhan.

Boleh jadi kalau selalu tak solat, orang perasan. Zakat orang kutip, kita tak bayar kantoi. Puasa banyak cara nak batalkannya. 

Dalam bilik saya memang ada sebotol air mineral atas meja. Balik kelas awal daripada house mates yang lain. Duduk rumah sorang-sorang. Boleh jadi tengah musim panas ni. Otak pun dah pening lalat. Pergi teguk air senyap-senyap. Sapa tahu? Haa.. Tapi saya tak buat la kerja tu. Setan pun tak ada nak hasut. Na'uzubillah..

Nak ceritanya, puasa ni mengajar erti taqwa kepada Allah..

Bak kata salah sorang sahabat, taqwa ni ibarat kita berjalan diatas jalan yang dipenuhi duri. Kain diangkat takut koyak terkena duri. Langkah pula perlahan dan berhati-hati takut tertusuk dek kaki. 

Begitulah kita dalam bertaqwa. Berhati-hati dalam kehidupan. Buat yang disuruh, tinggal yang dilarang.

Wallahua'lam.. Wasalam.

p/s: semangat balik berblogging. harap kekal lama. tak kekal pun, harap entry jarang-jarang ni bermanfaat.

Harga Sehelai Ilmu

Ahad, 22 Mei 2011.

Salam..


"Sapa nak jawab soalan ni? Faiq? Boleh jawab?"

Aku berdiri. Tertidur lah pula time Geografi. Cikgu Eshah ngajar. Budak lain semua tengok aku.

"Faiq ni.. cikgu tengok macam malas sikit lah."

Sekali kena tegur macam tu. Berdiri sorang-sorang. Orang lain pandang. Serius malu.

Sapa suruh tidur time bincang soalan.. Bodoh.

..................................................................................................................


Benda ni berlaku masa aku form 1. Memang tak nafi aku selalu tidur dalam kelas time dulu-dulu. Baru masuk asrama. Tidur 1 pagi.. 2 pagi.. Paling awal pun 12 tengah malam.

Bukan buat apa. Kadang-kadang senior ajak pergi bilik. Aku pun tak faham apa yang best sangat cari masalah junior dua tiga pagi ni. Rasa hebat kot.

Yang paling aku ingat, kena ragging first day lagi aku sampai.

Aku tanya senior tu "Budak-budak form 5 semua duduk floor ni ke bang?"

Terus dia letak hanger kat tengkuk aku. "Budak ko cakap? Berani ko."

Alahai lah... Aku ni asal Kelantan. 'Budok' tu bagi aku 'student' lah bengap. Baru nak belajar kecek luar. Apa lah brader nih. Aku nak beramah mesra dia tunjuk samseng..

Tak kan lah 'duduk floor' tu pun kau nak terjemah duduk atas lantai? Noob.

Dia suruh aku ambil botol kosong tiap-tiap bilik, isi, naik hantar balik. Tiap-tiap malam. Balik dorm karang nak kemas-kemas katil, locker. Nak sembang dengan kawan lagi. Mana tak tidur lewat.

Pasal tu kot aku selalu ngantuk dalam kelas. Hehe.. Salahkan orang.

Mungkin niat mamat tu baik, nak didik adik-adik. Tapi, cara kena betul la. Kalau nak tunjuk samseng pun, at least you should have something yang orang boleh ikut, boleh respect. 

Aku respect je senior yang duduk pau megi junior, tapi scorer jangan cerita. Add math 99. Saje cikgu tak bagi 100. Kang inferior cikgu nak mengajar.

Sorang ni, basuh baju sekali sebulan. Tu pun kalau ada junior tolong basuhkan. Tapi main basket punyalah hebat. Apek-apek pula dok panggil dia sifu.

Tapi sampai sekarang aku tak tau nama mamat tu. Tak pernah pula dapat hadiah cemerlang. Naik stage ambil medal pun tak ada muka dia. Taiko taik ayam. Memang aku tak nak ingat pun. Haha

Aku yang kena sound dengan Cikgu Eshah yang baik, jarang marah orang pun boleh naik stage, dapat no 2 dalam batch akhir tahun tu tau. Poyo kejap..


Terima kasih Cikgu Eshah. Mak yang ambil berat, Ustazah Noraini. Cikgu Haslinda yang baik. Ustazah Epuziah yang banyak bagi nasihat. Cikgu Samat yang dah 3 tahun jadi cikgu kelas.

Dan juga semua cikgu-cikgu, ustaz-ustaz, ustazah-ustazah, teachers, madame, monsieur, sensei, kaunselor dan juga coach, Mr Kau Wai Ping.

Selamat Hari Guru.



Kawan-kawan, jangan lupa nilai sehelai kertas bertulis ilmu. Walaupun sehelai kertas.


1. Orang Berilmu Lain Caranya


Lain caranya orang berilmu dengan tidak.

Orang tak berilmu nak duit? Curi. Paling cikai, pau budak. Keh3
Orang berilmu? Mintak ler baik-baik..

Teringat tadi ada orang muda, sihat lagi, lelaki mintak duit dengan aku. Badan dah la lagi besar. Nampak macam aku pula yang lagi tua. Nak bagi pun segan. Kalau budak-budak comot tepi-tepi jalan tu boleh la tahan.


Orang tak berilmu nak perempuan? Rogol. Orang tangkap, pukul, masuk penjara.
Orang berilmu? Kahwin. Tiap-tiap malam happy. Tak kena tangkap, tak kena pukul.

Orang tak berilmu nak tunjuk kuasa? Selak kain orang. Cakap kemain, tak ada lesen.
Orang berilmu? Nuh, tanah runtuh kat Hulu Langat nuh. Dia yang sampai dulu.


2. Ilmu Ada Ego dan Maruahnya


Ilmu ada nilai dan harga diri. Jangan perlekehkan.

Walaupun dah bergelar pelajar medic, bukan dengan semudah memetik jari boleh jadi doktor.

Baca, lupa. Kenapa selalu bila baca kita lupa?

Adat manusia. Mana ada orang baca tak lupa. Bukan senang untuk memiliki ilmu. Perlukan usaha.

Tetapi ingat..

Jangan mimpi nak menguasai ilmu dengan mudah, hanya dalam beberapa hari. Walhal, orang yang pakar mengambil masa beberapa tahun baru berjaya.

Walaupun diberi anugerah ingatan yang kuat dan juga pemahaman yang cepat, jangan cepat mendabik dada kawan-kawan. Jangan lupa, ilmu juga ada maruah dan egonya. Tidak akan tunduk kepada orang yang sambil lewa dan tidak hormat padanya.

Persis seorang perempuan yang sempurna dan tinggi maruahnya. Hanya boleh dimiliki lelaki yang ada harga dirinya. Bukan semua orang boleh memiliki.

Allah tidak kejam. Siapa yang usaha, dia berjaya. 

Wallahua'lam. Wassalam..

Nakba: A New Hope

Sunday, 15^th May 2011

Salam..

People were flocking to Masjid Jami’ah Yarmouk since last Friday, 13^th May for Fajr prayer. The number is so enormous, seems like comparable to Jumaat prayer on the afternoon. A rare scene to see in Malaysia. I was so touched by the atmosphere. It was so long before I manage to pray at the masjid and I saw this wonderful miracle.

The day before, Thursday, actually I got a flyer from a guy outside the masjid, stating that starting tomorrow (Friday) we all be gathering at masjid to perform Fajr prayer, all of us. No exception. As a support for the ‘Third Intifada’ planned. And also as a contribution for syuhada’ in Palestine and the last revolution in Egypt. To show our strength. Because there’s no strength without jamaah.

I was overwhelmed by my own feeling as I walked out from masjid, thinking that the end of this Palestinian suffer will end soon.

It's a new hope.

It was like Jumaat prayer in the morning. MashaAllah..

My Arab Friends

Since I start studying in JUST, I already know some of Arab friends. They came from various part of Arab countries, Jordan, Palestine, Yemen, Bahrain, UAE, and even Israel.

Still remembered when the first time I met some of friends at the library when I was in first year. We were greeting as usual. Shaking hands. Asking our names. What year and courses. Using typical Arabic Language learned from Malaysia and from seniors. Haha

Then, it came to the question that I’ll always think twice rather to ask or not. But then, since they asked me first, I asked them the same.

“Enta min ween?” (Where are you from?)

“Ana min Israel.” He answered, simple.

Suddenly, lots of story about Jews and Palestine came into my mind. I just kept reading my book.

“I knew it! Look at their face. Something different from other Arab people.” Haha

So skeptical.

But they looked like normal people. No long beard and sideburn. Even speaking nicer than some of others people I met.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………

And also, Palestinian friends. They say, most of foreigners in JUST are Palestinian. Second is Malaysian. Then, others..

One of them, who I know the most is Oudai Younus. I went to his house two weeks ago as I remember. He told stories about 1948 Palestine Nakba and about his place and family. A guy seems playful but he has a belief that one day, he will return to his homeland. He gave me a book which tells stories about Palestine and Israel country.

When I said ‘Israel’ he responded,

“What is Israel? There’s no such thing like Israel!”

When I thought about Israeli friends I met last year, they look very nice. Even I don’t want to believe that all Israeli are bad as I always told during my time in school. Everything bad was done by Jews and Israel. 5S conspiracy. 6S.. And all that kind of thing.

But thinking about Oudai, I believe we all really hope that someday, Israel will be vanished from world map.

Experience of a Doctor in Israeli Hospital

During Fiqh Medic Seminar 2011 which was held in Irbid last week, I was interested in a story told by our guest professor from Malaysia, Prof. Dr Azhar Hussin.

Undergoing some training at one of hospital in Israel was an opening-eye experience. At first think, doing task at the hospital, it’s difficult to adjust time for pray. It’s seems so stressful for a Muslim.

He had a Christian friend who also at the hospital too at that time, Micheal if I’m not mistaken. He always prayed as taught by his religion at a small corner in the hospital. Meanwhile, Prof Azhar always looked for a quiet place and ensures that people don’t see to do his prayer. As always we do. That is actually making us looks more suspicious for me. More like a guy want to do something wrong.

But then, when Micheal knew that, he asked Prof Azhar to join him to pray together with him. To make others not to misunderstand him. Prof Azhar agreed and since then, he prayed together with Micheal according to each religion told.

After two or three days later, Prof Azhar shocked to see that a memo was made at the corner they always pray.

“Keep quiet. Mike and Zack are praying.”

Mike referred to Micheal, while Zack referred to Prof Azhar as other colleagues there called him.

It was made by the hospital cleaner, a Jew.

You know, why we always tell something fishy about other people even we don’t know how they are actually. It’s not our rights to judge them. Try to know them first. Don’t be skeptic.

And when Prof. Azhar started to ask for his boss to take five for prayer during doing his job, know what the answer from the Jew who just met him for a few periods?

“Please do so. That is what your religion tells you to.”

They are so outstanding in this aspect. But it’s really confusing that how can there can’t understand how Palestinians are suffering today.

Wallahua’lam..

Fiqh Medic Seminar 2011

Nakba Day

15^th May 1948 was a day of catastrophe. 700,000 Palestinians were expelled and fled from their own homeland and hundreds of Palestinian villages were depopulated.

Today, it’s 63 years past the sad history.

Hope we take lesson from it. And not stop praying for the sake of Islam and our brothers and sisters there.

“There was certainly in their stories a lesson for those of understanding. Never was the Qur'an a narration invented, but a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of all things and guidance and mercy for a people who believe.”

Surah Yusuf: Ayah 111

I'll always pray for Palestine, as that's the only thing I can do now. For my friend, Oudai..

Wassalam..
