Assalamualaikum :) Quite long time without any new post. No interesting story to share. But insyaAllah this post will help us to think and ponder about friends, at least for a few seconds if not for hours.
Close friends, that Day, will be enemies to each other, except for the righteous
[43:67]
Pada hari itu sahabat-sahabat karib: setengahnya akan menjadi musuh kepada setengahnya yang lain, kecuali orang-orang yang persahabatannya berdasarkan taqwa (iman dan amal soleh).

I was deeply stabbed this morning when one of my high school friends dedicate this ayah for me. I'm trying to recall my early years of having friends. Of course we called ourselves as best friends, but is it true that we are friends because of Allah?
I used to have many friends, so you do. But how many of them will become our friends in the Hereafter?
Just imagine, in our daily life, when we got some minor problem with our friend, we will feel restlessness, tak senang duduk. So, how are we going to face the future life when our best friend is no longer a friend but an enemy?
Before this, we have friends so that we could have someone to talk to.. someone to gossip.. someone to watch movies together.. someone to accompany us going to shop.. someone to take lunch and dinner together.. someone to play games together..
But have we ever had a friend, so that we could have someone to remind us of Him? someone who will wake us up for prayer.. someone who will tell us that this and that is haram in Islam.. someone who will always dedicate us with ayah of Allah for us to ponder on.. someone who will teach us His religion deeply.. someone who will take a very good care of us because of Him..
To ponder without action results nothing. But ponder accompanied by action is something. Of course, it is not too late for us to have friends because of Allah.
One companion asked Rasulullah (saw), “Who can be my best friend?”
Rasulullah (saw) answered, “Your best friend is a person: when you see him, he makes you remember Allah; when you listen to him, knowledge of Islam is increased; and when you see his actions, you are reminded of the life of the Hereafter.”
AWAS. ENTRI INI IS NOT IN ENGLISH. A MANGLISH. LIL BIT.
Assalamualaikum
Bismillah wal Hamdulillah
Adapun pada hari ni beta nak share dengan rakyat secebis info. beta yakin, kita semua sangat teliti dalam menjalani kehidupan seharian. namun, berapa ramai dari kita yang aware atau punyai kesedaran tentang ...
Disappearing Object Phenomenon?
"Apa kejadah nya ni tuanku?" tanya seorang rakyat hujung kota.
Fenomena Objek Hilang (DOP) mungkin sering berlaku dalam hidup kita, cuma untuk menjadikannya nampak saintifik, maka saintis menamakannya sedemikian rupa. sebagai contoh, hayati kisah di sebelah. Siti pergi library untuk study. setelah menelaah nota selama sejam, maka beliau ingin menyiapkan sedikit latih tubi. malangnya, beliau mendapati pen yang sebentar tadi diletakkan di atas mejanya, telah ghaib. atas lantai, bawah buku, semua diselongkarnya namun hampa. pen beliau masih hilang. tiba-tiba kawannya yang baru sampai di library menyapanya,"waah.. macam prof lak aku tengok kau selit pen kat tudung,".
DOP ialah situasi yang melibatkan benda yang kita selalu guna. kita dah biasa letak benda tu kat tempatnya, tapi bila waktu nak pakai benda tu hilang. contoh macam pen tadi. penat mencari, akhirnya mungkin kita jumpa benda tu kat tempat lain. ataupun (yang biasa jadi) jumpa tempat yang sama, tapi terselindung di sebalik buku n sebagainya.
Apa yang sebenarnya terjadi? Para pengkaji DOP ada kasi beberapa andaian.
1) Hilang Tumpuan
Penyebab yang utama, ialah lupa. kita biasa letak pemadam contohnya kat tempat alat tulis. suatu hari bila tengah padam sumtin, tiba-tiba ada kawan datang bilik nak pinjam lab report. gangguan yang datang waktu kita sibuk dengan sesuatu kerja tu, boleh buat kita hilang tumpuan. sampai tak perasan yang kita simpan pemadam tu dalam poket seluar, ambil report n kasi kat kawan, lepas tu tercari-cari mana perginya haiwan pemadam tersebut.
Kenapa susah nak jumpa benda yang hilang dalam situasi ni? sebab ia diletak kat tempat yang kita mungkin tak terfikir langsung.
Penyelesaian: Expect the unexpected. cari betul-betul.
2) Kena Pinjam
Suatu hari bila tengah padam sumtin, tiba-tiba ada kawan datang bilik nak pinjam lab report. kita pun bangun tergesa-gesa dan hulur report kat dia, then duduk semula nak sambung proses memadam. hoh! mana pulak pemadam tadi ni? kita pusing satu bilik, cari bawah tilam, celah buku, dalam poket (teori 1st), tapi buntu.
Then setelah 15 minit roommate yang study sebelah dengan selamba berkata, "pinjam jap tadi, trimas ek," sambil memulangkan pemadam kita.
Penyelesaian: Jangan panik. selidik dahulu organisma hidup di sekeliling anda, termasuk kucing.
Andaian yang pertama n kedua ni, boleh dipilih mengikut kesesuaian. kalau ada kawan sebilik or ahli keluarga serumah, boleh aje terus tanya kat dia tanpa perlu mencari benda hilang tu terlebih dahulu. tapi, macam mana pulak kalau dua-dua teori di atas cancelled out? korang dah cari betul-betul, dan korang lak duduk sorang-sorang dalam bilik/rumah.
Ok, yang seterusnya. a bit paranormal, so bersedia ya.
Tekan r butang play, baca point seterusnya sambil dengar muzik. takde lah rasa kesunyian. dah tekan terus baca ye. :-)
3) Angkara 'Sesuatu' "Saya selalu pakai barang kemas peninggalan arwah nenek. arwah memang ada satu kotak kecik yang dia guna untuk simpan segala barang kemas tu. banyak kali jadi, saya balik rumah dan letak je rantai nenek yang saya pakai atas meja solek. esoknya, semua barang kemas tu balik semula tersusun elok dalam kotak tu. padahal saya duduk sorang-sorang je kat rumah. WTH."
Itu ialah pengalaman yang diceritakan seorang wanita kepada pengkaji DOP. beta dapat dari internet, iye WTH tu mesti r beta yang tambah.
Ada yang mengatakan DOP ialah angkara jin. biasanya kalau sekali dua berlaku, kita boleh anggap diri sendiri yang pelupa. tapi bila dah kerap terjadi, dan kita pulak duduk sorang-sorang dalam bilik/rumah, apa lagi yang bermain dalam fikiran?
Ramai yang cenderung menolak teori 'angkara sesuatu' ni. diorang berpendapat, benda yang ada kaitan dengan emotional relationship, contohnya cincin arwah atuk-mengingatkan kita kepada atuk. so, otak kita create sesuatu pemikiran yang membuatkan kita terbayang kehadiran orang yang tersayang tu. sampai kita terlupa yang kita sendiri salah letak.
So, amacam? boleh ke caye itu sume encik jin punya angkara? beta no komen... cuma, mungkin kita boleh renung kalam Allah ni :
"Nabi Sulaiman berkata pula (kepada golongan bijak pandainya): Wahai pegawai-pegawaiku, siapakah di antara kamu yang dapat membawa kepadaku singgahsananya sebelum mereka datang mengadapku dalam keadaan berserah diri memeluk Islam? Berkatalah Ifrit dari golongan jin: Aku akan membawakannya kepadamu sebelum engkau bangun dari tempat dudukmu dan sesungguhnya aku amatlah kuat gagah untuk membawanya, lagi amanah." (An-Naml:38-39)
Penyelesaian: Bacalah ta'awwudz apabila bulu roma anda meremang. wuuuuuuu~(bunyi angin).
4) Ghaib Sementara
Benda tu sebenarnya ada depan mata, tapi atas sebab-sebab tertentu, kita tak nampak. mungkin sebab distracted, macam warna yang sama. contoh mudah: sesumpah. tambah pulak, optical illusion memang wujud, so tak payahlah beta terang panjang-panjang.
Penyelesaian: Jangan kelam kabut sewaktu mencari. bertenang.
5) Perubahan Dimensi
Kewujudan dimensi selain 3D yang kita sedia maklum, memang diakui oleh sains. Allah pun dah gtau alam ghaib memang wujud. teringat dulu pensyarah fizik beta cakap,"kita tak boleh tengok jin n malaikat, sebab wavelength (gelombang) diorang tak mampu dikesan mata kita." kalau yang nampak, itu semua izin Allah.
Teori ni beta pun susah nak percaya. tengah sibuk cari kunci kereta kita, tiba-tiba dengar bunyi kunci jatuh kat dapur. sah memang benda tu kat situ. boleh ke bayang kunci tersesat masuk alam lain, then bila 'tersedar' dia tersesat, dia pun tercampak balik ke alam ni.
Wallahu a'lam. dulu memang gegar satu malaysia, kes budak hilang waktu main-main dekat pokok. pastu kat ceruk hutan mana ntah pasukan penyelamat jumpa balik. tak tau lah kelentong ke apa, tapi budak tu cakap,"adik ikut nenek.."
Penyelesaian: Usaha dan tawakkal pada Allah.
********************
Apa jua yang pada kita ianya pelik or tak masuk aqal, yakinlah bahawa Allah swt Maha Mengetahui secara terperinci apa yang terjadi. kita sebagai hamba Allah, seharusnya menggunakan kapasiti aqal fikiran yang dikurniakan Allah ni untuk menilai sesuatu itu dengan memohon petunjuk dariNya.
Bukankah kehilangan itu pun satu nikmat dari Allah? Dia nak suruh kita merayu kat Dia, doa banyak-banyak. kembali kepadaNya berserah diri.
"Dan jika engkau dihasut oleh sesuatu hasutan dari Syaitan, maka mintalah perlindungan kepada Allah, sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mendengar, lagi Maha Mengetahui. Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang bertakwa, apabila mereka disentuh oleh sesuatu imbasan hasutan dari Syaitan, mereka ingat (kepada ajaran Allah) maka dengan itu mereka nampak (jalan yang benar)." (Al-a'raf: 200-201)
p/s : this was written purposely for soul purification. ya, its not a tazkirah whatsoever. i know. but juz... why so serious? at least some of us may open the Quran to search for the ayat mentioned above. so... its kinda related to purification right? gaaaa... :-)
Assalamualaikum brothers and sisters! It had been almost a week since I last updated this blog right? This thing is not supposed to happen actually, however, I'll keep on trying to make sure that there is something to share every week, insyaAllah.
Last week, we listened to a very nice soul purification sharing from brother Zaki Solihin. Unfortunately, we have none by this week right? I just hope that I can share something today. With a very little knowledge that I have with me, I'm not the right person to talk about soul purification or anything related to it, but as I said earlier, I'll try because our Iman easily goes up & falls down without our own concious. I'm trying to make everything short, summarizing a part of Harun Yahya's book entitled Death Resurrection Hell.
Death, as referred in the Quran, is quite unlike the 'medical death' people observes from outside. In Surah al-Waqi'ah, Allah mentioned death :
"Why then, when death reaches his throat and you are at that moment looking on—
We are nearer him than you, but you cannot see."
(Surah al-Waqi'ah: 83-85)
From the al-Quran also, Allah stated that, the death of the unbelievers is a great torment :
"...If you could only see the wrongdoers in the throes of death
when the angels are stretching out their hands, saying,
'Yield up your souls. Today you will be repaid with the punishment of humiliation
for saying something other than the truth about Allah,
and being arrogant about His signs."
(Surah al-An'am: 93)
While the death of the believers is a bliss :
"...the angels reclaim the souls of the just, saying: (to believers)
'Peace be upon you! Enter the Garden as a reward for your labors."
(Surah an-Nahl: 32)
Either a torment or a bliss, the choice is in our hand. It is not our hand actually, but it is our heart. As Rasulullah SAW once said,
"Indeed, and in the body, there is a piece of flesh. If it is sound, the rest of the body will be sound. If it is corrupt, the rest of the body will be corrupt. Indeed, it is the heart."
Thus, it is our heart that will determine the fate of our soul on death, either the harsh or the gentle one. And, to keep our heart at constant high level of Iman is not an easy job, it is much much much more tougher than learning Anatomy, Physiology & Biochemistry. Agree? But try to take our time & recheck our faith. Since from the first day we're here in IIUM, campus of Kuantan, till today, how many times did we care about our Iman?
Surely it is true that we're here to excel in study, get a medical degree & become a doctor, or better said, a muslim doctor. But don't forget that, we're in this world for the hereafter. Rasulullah SAW said,
"Indeed, actions are by intentions, and for every person is what he intended.
So, whoever migrated to Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him),
his migration is to Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him).
And whoever migrated to obtain a portion of the world or to marry a woman,
