Bara yang melara

Semakin lara kita didera bara—
kita laungkan juga pesan merdeka:
Demokrasi sebenderang mentari
sehasrat hajat semurni harga diri.

Lama resah kita—demokrasi luka;
lama duka kita—demokrasi lara.
Demokrasi yang angkuh, kita cemuhi;
suara bebas yang utuh, kita idami!

Dua abad lalu Sam Adams berseru:
(di Boston dijirus teh ke laut biru):
Tak diperlu gempita sorak yang gebu,
diperlu hanya unggun api yang syahdu.

Kini menyalalah unggun sakti itu;
kini merebaklah nyala unggun itu.

-A. Samad Said-

*pelik
kerana satu adjektif
pembangkang dituduh pengacau
seniman ditangkap disoal
apalah erti satu adjektif?
kalau yang dimaksudkan tidak dapat dilaksanakan?

stand firm and steadfast

if you think

you want to change

but not sure where to start from

try from something simple

that will not burden you

make it as a routine

and when you're ready

for the next changes

go for it

but never forget

and never abandoned

the things that you've done before

that is istiqamah

On the authority of Abu 'Amr, though others call him Abu 'Amrah Sufyan bin 'Abdullah, radiyallahu anhu, who said:

I said: "O Messenger of Allah, tell me something about Islam which I could not ask anyone about save you." He answered: "Say: 'I believe in Allah', and then stand firm and steadfast."

margate project work

salam and hi!

I think it's been quite some time since my last entry written not in poetic kind of style. well, approximately, I am now counting days to go back to Malaysia for my summer holiday :)

and in the meantime, i still have classes on Mondays and Thursdays afternoon, carrying out some sort of a small project work.

we've been assigned to go and explore an UNFAMILIAR town in Kent. when we get there, we were asked to make a short video clip of that place, either you can put in interviews or just anything to represent that place and as a proof of your small exploration.

we've been to Margate, around half an hour or so from Canterbury and we went to some places (some.. due to heavy rain, we couldn't go more any further with that condition)

the most interesting part of Margate that I discovered is that I have found a REAL mosque there. for your information, it is so hard to find a mosque around Canterbury (there's only a prayer room in CCCU and a small mosque called the Markaz in the UKC) ^^

what's more interesting is that the building of the mosque was a former church (click here for more details). the facilities were superb and comfortable. I managed to meet a Malaysian who is working at Sandwich and she knew where i'm studying at (she mentioned Chirst Church College, the former name for CCCU, which is kinda cool) ^^

so let's stop blabbing and here's the pictures I've taken throughout the trip :P

inside primark, shopping while waiting for the rain to stop ^^

traditionally, this place was one of the most famous places

for the British people during their holidays

the Droit House, where merchants used to pay their toll whenever they sailed to Margate

Tudor House, one of the oldest buildings in Margate

as you can see, it's a clock tower

it feels like as if i'm in Malaysia right now, somehow...

well, that's all for now

tutup mana yang patut

pakai tudung

tapi kasihan

masih terlihat

bahagian leher

gumpalan rambut

pameran dada

tayangan kulit

baju sarung nangka

seluar ketat

pakaian jarang

itu yang kau kata menutup aurat?

biarlah labuh

tudung yang dipakai

menutup mana yang patut

agar tidak menimbul fitnah

biarlah baju dilonggar-longgarkan

dari menurunkan iman si lelaki

mendorong godaaan syaitan terlaksana

O facebook!

of likes, comments and shares
we create our own profiles
filling our pages
of what we're thinking of
we often communicate virtually
with people of different places
regardless of different timezones

BUT

have we had enough communication
with our Al-Khaliq?
liking all His words
commenting and relate the stories
of our prophets with our daily life
sharing what we know with others
talking to Him regardless
of time and place

have we ever done the same thing
as what we did through facebook?
have we ever done the same actions
when we face our Creator?

the ultimate

study

exams

results

these are the main focus

that you should concentrate on

whilst you're still a student

i wonder

when is the time

that you prayed hard the most?

is it when you're studying?

when you're sitting for your exams?

while waiting for the results to come?

even after you've received your results?

OR

you pray hard for all the times

because the ultimate goal

is not the results

but JANNAH it is

*stay focus all mujahids, we can only have our peaceful rest in JANNAH, and no other place*

(T_T)

kadang-kadang

rasa sedih

kalau dulu

amat rapat

selalu sesama

bila nak ke mana-mana

dari sesat tersalah train

ke sesat di tengah bandar

amat akrab

tapi

bila dah kat sini

semuanya berubah

normal ke?

end of time

Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah

Alhamdulillah

all praises to Allah The Creator

i have just finished my final exams

almost at the end of my first year..

who would have thought

almost a year ago

we were different

i was different

you were different

and for most of the time

we were dependent to our family

each and every day

it's them we first talked to

it's them we refer to

being abroad

life's changed

we are being more independent

of deciding our own choice

creating our own space

and from that

i've been learning a lot

from zero

i'm turning into somebody

filling myself with the endless knowledge

that Allah has spread within His creation

that it depends on me

whether to grab it or not

little by little

i'm growing up for sure

but to ensure i'm growing

healthy with His words

i need to be reminded

dear friends

remind me when i forget

warn me if i overdo things

scold me if went astray

what is life if there's no guidance

and what's friendship if there's no friends

to remind each other

to care for one another

a new phase

salam and hi!

finally i'm twenty one.

a new phase i'm entering to.

at this stage,

at the age of twenty one,

people say that i can be called as an adult.

a mature adult to be precise.

i'm suppose to be mature in deciding

of what's good and what's not

my thinking should no longer only to whine

when i didn't get things the way i want it,

i should be more focus

in creating my future,

my career and life after marriage.

sometimes i wonder,

what have i done in the past

what was my contribution

to myself, my family, my friends

and most importantly

what have i contributed

to my religion?

at this range of age

a wise young boy

had conquered a whole kingdom

a talented young man

has formed his own website

and spreading da'wah

with all his credibility

but

what have i done ?

through all these years

i've just wasted my precious years

took it so lightly

where i should have grasp

lots of skills and knowledge

if i have taken it seriously, i would have been better

i would be more proactive

i would be more productive

than who i am today

i dare to declare

that i will work harder

that i will try my very best

to understand the knowledge

to be obedient

to the God that i worship

to be fair

to all those near me

and spreading the truth

while i'm still breathing

till my very last breath

insya'allah

p/s: thanks for all the wishes and gifts..

i appreciated those very very much indeed..

i'm sorry for not knowing how to respond to you guys

when you guys came and knocked my door just now....

may Allah bless all of us, insya'allah
