Compatible or Upgrade?

Assalamualaikum dear readers,

Last week as I was having lunch with my bunch of colleagues, a friend ask me, do I have a relationship (so-called) and I said I couldn't find someone compatible to get along with me. And he said what kind of compatible are you searching for? Compatible is for computer and software. He then ask me what do I do if a software is not compatible with the computer. I said, uninstall it. He corrected me by telling, "no, when a software is not compatible anymore, you upgrade. So in this case you have to upgrade yourself instead of being compatible because upgrading yourself will makes you compatible with any software". Point. True or true? 

So when you're not compatible anymore, don't uninstall the 'software', but upgrade yourself. Can you comprehend what I mean? Get it? Never mind if you don't get it because this entry is purposely to remind myself. 

^^,

Kalau Dahi Tak Mencecah Sejadah Di Dunia!

Bersihkanlah dirimu sebelum kamu dimandikan
Berwudhu’lah kamu sebelum kamu diwudhu’kan
Dan solatlah kamu sebelum kamu disolatkan

Tutuplah ‘auratmu sebelum ‘auratmu ditutupkan
Dengan kain kafan yang serba putih
Pada waktu itu tidak guna lagi bersedih
Walaupun orang yang hadir itu merintih

Selepas itu kamu akan diletak di atas lantai
Lalu dilaksanakanlah solat Jenazah
Dengan empat kali takbir dan satu salam
Berserta Fatihah, Selawat dan doa
Sebagai memenuhi tuntutan Fardhu Kifayah

Tapi apakah empat kali takbir itu dapat menebus
Segala dosa meninggalkan solat sepanjang hidup?

Apakah solat Jenazah yang tanpa rukuk dan sujud
Dapat membayar hutang rukuk dan sujudmu yang telah luput?

Sungguh tertipulah dirimu jika beranggapan demikian...

Justeru ku menyeru sekelian Muslimin dan Muslimat
Usunglah dirimu ke tikar solat
Sebelum kamu diusung ke liang lahad
Menjadi makanan cacing dan makanan ulat
Iringi dirimu ke masjid
Sebelum kamu diiringi ke Pusara

Tangisilah dosa-dosamu di dunia
Kerana tangisan tidak berguna di alam baqa’

Sucikanlah dirimu sebelum kamu disucikan
Sedarlah kamu sebelum kamu disedarkan
Dengan panggilan ‘Izrail yang menakutkan

Berimanlah kamu sebelum kamu ditalkinkan
Kerana ianya berguna untuk yang tinggal
Bukan yang pergi

Beristighfarlah kamu sebelum kamu diistighfarkan
Namun ketika itu istighfar tidak menyelamatkan

Ingatlah di mana saja kamu berada
Kamu tetap memijak bumi Tuhan
Dan dibumbungi dengan langit Tuhan
Serta menikmati rezeki Tuhan

Justeru bila Dia menyeru, sambutlah seruan-Nya
Sebelum Dia memanggilmu buat kali yang terakhirnya

Ingatlah kamu dahulu hanya setitis air yang tidak bererti
Lalu menjadi segumpal darah
Lalu menjadi seketul daging
Lalu daging itu membaluti tulang
Lalu jadilah kamu insan yang mempunyai erti

Ingatlah asal usulmu yang tidak bernilai itu
Yang kalau jatuh ke tanah
Ayam tak patuk itik pun tak sudu!
Tapi Allah mengangkatmu ke suatu mercu
Yang lebih agung dari malaikat!

Lahirmu bukan untuk dunia
Tapi gunakanlah ia buat melayar bahtera akhirat

Sambutlah seruan ‘Hayya ‘alas Solaah’!
Dengan penuh rela dan bersedia

Sambutlah seruan ‘Hayya ‘alal Falaah’!
Jalan kemenangan Akhirat dan Dunia!

Ingatlah yang kekal ialah amal
Menjadi bekal sepanjang jalan
Menjadi teman di perjalanan
Guna kembali ke pangkuan Tuhan

Pada hari itu tiada berguna harta, tahta dan putera
Isteri, kad kredit dan kereta
Kondominium, saham dan niaga

KALAU DAHI TAK MENCECAH SEJADAH DI DUNIA!

Fair enough

Assalamualaikum dear readers,

I really want to share with you a reality that happen to me, us, our family. It is also a prove that Allah is the Most Justice and Most Merciful.

I'm sure most of us have different kind of neighbors, I have two type, immediate neighbors, on my left, and on my right. Both neighbors have different background in terms of educational, nationalities and thinking abilities. One side treat us like we are some kind of garbage and try to bring us apart, blaspheme us, frequently tease us intentionally to make us upset so that they can start a fight, so on and so forth, everything that you can imagine not to have one. But on the other side, they treat us like we are guests to them, always helping, caring, kind-hearted, understanding, humble and adorable family and everything that you can imagine to have a neighbor like that. 

Fair enough isn't it?

I believe Allah put us in the middle so that we, our family lives in reality, that you can't get everything that you ever wanted in this world. I believe Allah has planned so well that Allah did not want us to be ungrateful and I strongly believe that this is the way Allah wants to test us and reward us. 

By knowing so, actually I really have a great neighborhood. Don't you think? It's just the matter of how you perceive it and how you mentally handle the situation. Obviously my hell-side neighbor is mentally or soul-sick but if we treat them like they treat us, we are just about the same. What we do is we seek protection from Allah. 

So, whatever you do or circumstances you are in, it's the matter of how you can change it either you want it to be positive or the other way around.

Palestin itu jauh dari kita

Pada kita derita itu
pada gagalnya peperiksaan
laparnya perut pada makanan
putusnya cinta pada kekasih pujaan
jauhnya ibu ayah dari dakapan
juga habisnya duit dalam bekalan


Pada mereka derita itu
apabila rumah kediaman digesel trak
harta benda serba serbi dirompak
maruah keluarga dipijak-pijak
anak bini dicincang oleh manusia tak berotak
tanah air Islam diinjak-injak

Irama kita
adalah suara siti yang merdu
atau muzik rock yang bingit melegakan
atau suara nasyid yang mendayu-dayu

Irama mereka
bulddozer yang menghiasi setiap pagi
ketulan batu yang dicampak ke muka yahudi
Bom yang tak pernah sunyi berbunyi

Sungguh sukar kita berada di tempat mereka
kita masih tak sanggup menerima ujian sedemikian mereka

Berpisahnya kita dari keluarga cuma sementara
berpisahnya mereka dengan ayah,ibu, adik beradik adalah buat selama-lamanya

Tangisnya kita di dunia adalah kerana gagalnya kita dalam ujian
putusnya cinta atau geramnya pada manusia
tangisnya mereka di dunia kerana tidak dapat membunuh musuh Allah
kerana gagalnya mereka menemui kesyahidan

Rindu kita hanya bauan pada keluarga tercinta
pada kekayaan melimpa ruah
pada umur yang panjang
agar keluarga kita lebih makmur membahagiakan

Rindu mereka pada wangian syurga tertinggi…
pada syahid tanpa henti
pada perjumpaan teragung
dengan Ilahi tercinta…

Siapakah kita berbanding mereka?

The Best of Friends

This poem goes to my dear friend

The best of friends,
are fellow travelers,
on the road of life

The best of friends,
change and grow,
with each other,
and learn,
through one another's,
experiences and lessons.

The best of friends can share,
the most insignificant,
and the most shining parts,
of themselves,
with the same degree,
of joy and openness.

The best of friends,
are friends for a lifetime-
like you and me.

These of late

Recently what I wrote was not as usual as before, I can say that it's not something intelligent to share with but I guess sometimes we do have these ups and downs in life that there are times we just need to let it out but at the same time didn't really know who to talk to or who can be trusted. This is the way I eased them, but again, as egoistical as I can be, I'm not going to let you know what is actually happen to me. Nevertheless, I cracked few hints that will make you have the idea what's going on.

I do have something else much worth to be shared as some sort of 'policies' I applied to this blog but I guess it depends on my mood. For now, I'm in the middle of inner-crisis and need to do some soul-searching.

Peace out.

Doing just fine

Assalamualaikum dear readers,

As I write this, I actually don't really have an idea what's the next line would be but I'm just gonna scribble it out anyway. 

There's a few things that you have to know about myself that I am a kind of person who would think carefully before I make a big(or small) decision, even if wanting to say 'hi' to a friend in the list of my friends chat list on fb. And I'm a kind of person who won't be deceived by what my heart says, I took a deep, and intense considerations before making any decision, it concludes the consequences as well as the benefits, loss, and everything in between. See, I'm a very tact in term of those matters. 

Thus, when somebody try to give me advise on how to treat others, or how to handle or manage a relationship that he/she don't even been in my shoes for a second or merely even know me, I seriously like to give him/her a high-five. In the face. With a chair. Made of steel. Hahaha. Seriously. 

Actually I'm overwhelmed and touched by these people's concern towards me about my failed relationship(s), but thanks, I'm doing just fine. 

I'd rather be single than be in wrong relationship (or person).


I'm doin' just fine,
