Envy

These are some of the views, a got it from Saifulislam.com.

MasyaAllah. 30 000 views per entry?

I can't think of the reward given.

I envied him. Seriously.

Narrated Anas: Allah’s Messenger said: “Three (things) follow a deed person: Members of his family, his possessions and his deeds. Two of them return; and one remains with him. The people and his wealth return; his deeds remain with him.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Will I ever be like them?

The air was tense with news of Dr Asri's arrest.

Thus it came to no suprise that many has opposed the move by JAIS, and show support for Dr Asri.

One such support was an article by Ustaz Maszlee Malik (click here), a friend of Dr Asri (they both studied in Jordan). There was another written respond (click here), by Ustaz Hasrizal, of whom that considered Dr Asri a dear friend.

I will not touch much on this issue as it has been extensively covered by the press.

But both article made me think and ponder.

Ustz Hasrizal's article was written such that, i could felt the honesty that flows with the words. There was balance in his admiration and criticism to Dr Asri.

Ustz Maszlee, being the President of Durham Univ. Islamic Society was very sharp of his criticism to JAIS and personnel involved.

They are all such great people, quick to respond in such situation. To uphold truth. Without personal benefit. They are the future leaders .

.. and that is what lies in front of us - the very next decade to come. That is when the batton is ready to passed on (like i have mentioned in last entry). For its the young people that shape the future of a country.

To be honest, i envy them. Each of them (Ustz Maszlee, Hasrizal, Asri) have their own charismatic appeal. Each of them have their own values and system of belief that they hold on to. .. and each of them could write very well, talk very well and inspired thousands, if not millions of others.

In stark contrast, i felt like struggling in finding my own values. I know i am here on earth to serve Allah. I know i must study and become great doctor (oh, Prof Fauzi is another person that i admired). I can't even write, or speak well, what more to influence & inspire others.

Will i ever be like them? (what more better)

*sigh*

I seriously need to reevaluate myself..

Well, i got 10 years to prepare..

Ready?

Abu Hurairah that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said: "The life-span of those in my ummah is 60 to 70 years. And a very few of them will exceed this span."

(reported from Tirmizhi)

Having lived for 23 years, it could be said that i've reached 1/3 of (my) expected life.

Pretty scary - especially considering all the time that i've wasted on trivial matter.

What have i achieved so far?

Have i met all the expectations?

Am i prepared for for the next 2/3 of what is there to come?

These are some of the important questions in life that started to haunt you in your dreams.

However there are even more important questions than those mentioned.

What will become of the world tomorrow?

Who will be the leaders in time yet to come?

Thinking only of my 'own' future is being selfish.

Someday... (and surely) one day, that burden will surely fall on our shoulders. Only then we cringed and abase oneself, trying to run away.

As quoted from a Dr MAZA

"The actors in the stage of history come and go, but their role is (suprisingly) the same"

In acting there will always people who will take the 'protagonist' role.

Poles aside, there will be those of 'antagonist'.

I now aware that, there isn't much choice left.

For the fact is, the baton is on its way to be passed down, from one generation to another.

To continue the mission here on earth..

...as muslim..

khalifah..

and servant of Allah.

Not willing to accept it means the race stop there - leaving the 'antagonist' taking the lead.

Only two sides to choose.

There are no place for spectators here in this world.

Everyone is involved.

The question is..

Will i ever be ready?

Will us all be ready?

Adding more 'value' to Duit Raya

We were paying a visit to an uncle’s house when an idea pops to my mind - it’s about adding more value to the (tradition of) giving duit raya .

Has it ever occur to you where kids come to your house to get ‘Duit Raya’?

Give them 1 RM or 2.. they’ll labelled you ‘kedekut’.

5RM?

Its too much for a total stranger (unless you have extra cash in your bank accound)..

What more they’ll tell their friends. Before you know it and a new swarm of kids will come to pay visit and sap away your money fast.

By the way, this is just a suggestion.

Giving money to kids is good. But why don’t we spend extra ringgit to print out and put in pieces of bookmarks with hadith/quotes inside the envelop .. along with the duit raya.

Example of bookmark are like below:

** i think its cute and kids will love it. I've already measured it and it could fit into a regular size duit raya envelop **

I belief the benefit is more - both for the ‘giver’ and ‘receiver’. I m sure the children won’t mind getting a ringgit or two, because they have already get something extra (bookmark and perhaps/hopefully... knowledge)

The ‘giver’, also will get continous benefit : Ilmu yg bermanfaat & diamalkan.

(^_^)

Silly me. I should’ve posted this entry earlier, considering Raya season is over and everybody is back to school.

Oh well..

Next raya, perhaps..

ان شاء الله

=)

Oh.. beside bookmarks, stickers might also work as an alternative.
