Perkara paling sukar: Mengawal niat

Pejuang yang belot
DARIPADA Abu Hurairah katanya, Rasulullah s.a.w. bersabda: Sesungguhnya Allah akan membantu agama ini dengan orang-orang yang jahat.
Pengertian
Dalam hadis ini, Rasulullah memperingatkan bahawa setiap orang yang berjuang membela agama Allah di atas muka bumi ini bukan semua orang yang baik-baik dan berakhlak mulia. Malahan ada dikalangan pejuang tersebut orang yang berakhlak buruk dan rendah budi pekertinya malah ada yang berniat jahat dan mempunyai bermacam kepentingan peribadi yang tidak selaras dengan agama.

Kesimpulan
Periksalah diri sendiri di samping ghairah memperjuang Islam. Jangan berani mendakwa sebagai pembela dan pejuang tetapi tidak ikhlas dalam perjuangan.

21st Century - The Rise of Islam

Believe it or not, the 21st century belongs to Islam. The spirit as one ummah is growing everywhere. More success and succes has been achieved. It is time for all of us, me and you my friends, to wake up from our long comfortable sleep. Sleep no more! Be prepared. We aren't meant to live for ourselves and the persons that we know only. We live for the development of the ummah.
The victory of the ummah is in our midst. It is in our hands. It is time to prepare for the end of the night. For we are on the verge of the new dawn.

no terrors for me
After being responsible for labelling Muslims equals to terrorists through the power they have over the media, now they want to claim that the 'terrorists' is taking advantage on the largest video-sharing website, Youtube, to spread hatred towards them. It's true that there are lots of videos on them but really, labelling ones who are defending themselves against oppression towards them as 'terrorists' is a crime. It hurts me most when the Palestinians, whose land are stolen, are being called by the OZ's media as the 'Palestinian terrorists'. It is stupid that logically, never we call the victim of the crime as 'terrorrists'. Who's the real evil? We know ourselves.

misconceptions
It's true that people of other religion than Islam have misconceptions of this true religion. Most of us put the total blame on the media for exploiting the power they have over people by giving false infos and portraying the Muslims as terrorists and a shallow-minded people who do not open up their way of life to taste some of the enjoyment of the world.
However, it is what most of us, Muslims in Malaysia believe in. But actually we are the one to be blamed for the false misconceptions. We do what the non-Muslims do. It's not only things like going to clubs, drinking wine or having sex before marriage, it is those simple things that had become our daily routine that we do since young that we do not know that it is wrong. I remember one of my friends read in a blog about a turkish woman who thinks that Malaysia is in a great danger because Muslims and Non-Muslims are not distinguishable. Just go to any of the shopping malls and we can see common scenarions of Malay's love birds act as if they are a married couple. It is even more saddening that we are not aware of the fact that meetings with non-muhrim is haram even though it does not involve any physical touch. Men and women can only meet for really important matters and must be with a muhrim companion. That is one aspect. Well, i am not going to elaborate further on any other aspects. Remember that we are created to worship God.

"And I did not create the jinn and mankind except to worship me [51:56]."

Islam is not just a religion. Religion in arabic is 'deen'. And 'deen' is the way of life.

"And whoever desires other than Islam as religion, never will it be accepted from him, and he, in the hereafter will be among the losers [3:85]."

I'm writing this as a reminder to myself. Humans being tend to forget. Sometimes I was averted from what should have been my priority in life. Last week was one great lesson. A lesson that made me realise all these burdens that i am having shall be removed as soon as possible. It is like carrying groceries from Macquarie Center back to Macquarie Uni Village which makes me feel like it took forever to reach home. These burdens, these jahiliyyah thingy have made my pace slow. While my other friends run happily back home without any burdens, i am left behind. And this is sad. I envy them.
Therefore, i know me myself should portray the real image of a Muslim which i am still not.
The non-Muslims and other Muslims needs to be enlightened that what is happening in the way of life of most Muslims in Malaysia is not right. And I am one of the persons who should move heaven and earth to portray the truth. And I really hope I'll do.

Btw, this is one hadith which reflects today's scenario.
Abu Sa'id r.a. berkata bahawa Rasulullah s.a.e. bersabda:
"Demi Allah, pasti kamu akan mengikuti tradisi umat-umat sebelum kamu selangkah demi selangkah, sampai kalaupun mereka masuk ke liang biawak niscaya kamu akan masuk ke dalamnya pula". Para sahabat bertanya: "Ya Rasulullah, orang-orang Yahudi dan Nasrani kah?". Beliau menjawab, "Lalu siapa lagi?" (Riwayat Bukhari dan Muslim).
