Malaysia and Libya

Bismillah,

Couple weeks ago, world are being shocked by 2 uprising in Tunisia and Egypt. Words are spreading about butterfly effest or domino's effect or whatever effect it is. It's a good news in some extent. Now the trend is on Libya.

It's funny though watching how Malaysian reacts about all the cases. I cant remember abput Tunisia but I certainly do remember how they reacted about Egypt.

Lot of emotions and some people go beyond the border to express their feeling. I was so moved with their spirit.

Eh, diorang semangat sebab ramai Malaysian belajar dan tinggal kat sana la.

Seeing how they reacted towards Libya issue makes the statement quite right. Shame on you peoples.

Lot of peoples knows that Libya have worst regime than Egypt.
Gaddafi's family have ruled for over 40 years and no opposition party are allowed to be formed.
No people dare to speak because they will be gone after that.
It just recently the uprising started in Libya but lot of people have died already.

Apehal la diorang nak sibuk2 demonstrasi ni. Aku pegi makan tomyam lagi best.

Yes, you read it right. The statement was come from Malaysian mouth during Egypt issue.
Just imagine, he dare to said those thing when the crisis is related with Malaysian, how about the issue that not directly related with Malaysia?

To those who still feel Tunisia, Egypt or Libya is not their problem, you are right.

Your problem is your AQIDAH.

Weird feeling.

Bismillah,

Semalam melihat di facebook, ternampak status sahabat baru dari mesir yang baru kehilangan nenek dia dan tidak lepas itu, kakaknya pula membuat status yang more or less the same. Semoga dijauhi dari neraka.

Anyway, bukan niat aku untuk berbicara tentang nenek mereka. When I think about myself, same things have occured around 5 years ago to me. Nenek aku meniggal dunia dan what makes my case different from their case is that I've never being told about the incident until few days after that. Maybe it's because i in the middle of examination.

It must be sad isn't it for being left out like that?

To my surprise, I didn't feel that way.
I just feel indifferent.
I thought, 'well, it's just another death. It's normal.'

In my defence, I never being closed with her before. We got language barrier and I always being away from home anyway.

Last year, I lost my auntie due to mysterious sickness. Our relationship can be categorized closed eventhough it's not too closed anyway. I always meet her since our house it's not too far and she always there whenever I visited my other grandmother. I thought I can see her for the last time during summer holiday but she couldn't wait for me. She died when I just started spring exam.

When I speak to my father, he tried to console me and he said stuff like dont worry and dont think too much about it. It's normal isn't it?

But it's not needed actually.

I just feel indifferent. Well I do feel sad for her daughter and son but not for her.
It's just another death.

I actually dont understand whether lot of people feels like me or is it only me?
I wonder how will I fell when I lost my parents or one of my siblings?

Will I think it's just another death again?
Is it bad for having this kind of thought anyway?

Or is it I actually do feel sad but I just dont realized it?
Astaghfirullah
Astaghfirullah
Astaghfirullah

I'm moved.

Aku sangat susah untuk memuji satu movie (unless movie action macam IP Man atau Transformer which I more amazed with the graphic rather than about the movie itself). Antara movie yang aku rasa menarik ialah life is beautiful atau pursuit of happiness. Yet I still failed to find a movie that I considered great or even good which produced by Malaysia.

'Alangkah lucunya (negri ini)' bukan hanya movie biasa.
Ia tidak perlukan lawak-lawak murahan untuk mendapatkan penonton.
Ia mampu menggetarkan jiwa orang yang sebelum ini ignorance pada persekitaran negara.
Ia adalah masterpiece.

Bila agaknya Malaysia mampu mengeluarkan movie yang tidak memerlukan lawak bodoh atau cerita cinta yang sia-sia seperti movie ini?

Respect.

Bismillah,

I used to hold to one principal regarding respect.

We dont ask for respect but we gain it.

I hold it tightly so that if someone didn't respect me, I can think that may be I haven't done enough. But sometimes I hold the principal too tight that I didn't respect other people if I think they haven't done up to my standard. Or in other words, if someone didn't do their work correctly, I wouldn't be able to respect him regardless their age or status.

However, life isn't just black and white. I knew this statement ages ago but until recently I started to grasp what the meaning of it. I have to lessen the grip of my principal and started to think bigger rather than only about myself.

We are all know about Hassan al-Banna. There is one time when he is just about 20-30 years old, there one old guy meet him at his office and started to scold him because the old guy's son start to join Ikhwanul Muslimin. For me that was ridicolous and Hassan Al-Banna got ton of reasons to defend himself or even scold the old guy back. Well, to cut things short, when the old guy finish all his nonsense talk and about to going back to his home, surprisingly Hassan Al-Banna help to take the old guy shoes and put it in front of the old guyso that he can wear it easily. After that, there is no scolding from the old guy anymore.

Do ever heard about PKS( Partai Keadilan Sejahtera)? Well PKS is the 4th largest party in Indonesia(according to last year statistic). We will get back to PKS later.

There is one time in Indonesia, a car hit the car in front of him. If according to our sense, if we are at the car on the front, surely we will feel irritated because it's likely the back car is the one who didn't pay attention on the road. However, the front car driver stepped down from the car and started to say sorry and ask if everything is alright. He even ask if there is anything that he should pay to the back car. Seeing the attitude of the front car driver, the back car driver say it's nothing and the problem solved. When the back car driver enter his car, the old guy that sat in his car just say,'that guy surely from PKS. No doubt about that.'.

It's natural for us to not respecting others if there didn't do the right thing in our eyes but when we able to keep our akhlak and just give our respect to them, it's just a whole new level.

The level that can guide us to Jannah.

We might have a brilliant idea but if our words aren't brilliant, the idea is nothing.

Oh, I forgot to mention that Hassan Al-Banna is the leader of the Ikhwanul Muslimin at that time.

Coming soon

Simple fact.

Bismillah,

Semalam aku tersentak dengan satu perkara yang sangat simple but yet I seems to forget it. Or in other words, I seems to not realizing it.

Apabila terjadi satu peperangan di mana-mana tempat, secara normalnya manusia (termasuk aku) akan cenderung untuk melihat statistik kematian. We actually dont really care about the number who was injured.

I was talking to one of the doctor who has been in Palestine and he told me that Israel tactic is always to aim for maximising the injury but not to kill the palestinian. For instance, the drone that being used can shoot accurately the pen that in your pocket but they intentionally target the leg of the Palestinians. This will make the Palestinian couldn't use their leg anymore and when other people start to condemn them for waht they did, they will simply show the statistic of the death only.

Simple but yet most of us seems to not realizing it.

I wonder how to view the statistic of the casualties in the Egypt.

One way or another.

Bismillah,

Kita sibuk berfikir tentang apa yang akan dimakan sebentar lagi,
Kita sibuk berbincang kelab bola sepak mana yang akan menang.
Kita sibuk melihat pakaian mana lagi yang perlu dibeli.

Dan kita terus sibuk memikirkan bagaimana hendak memenuhkan perut dan nafsu kita.

Ironiknya, kita sering mengimpikan Islam akan naik semula dengan usaha kita.

Things to reflect for myself.


We will get our right, one way or another.

Egypt: lesson for me.

Bismillah,

Sebenarnya agak lambat untuk aku memberi pendapat terhadap uprising di Mesir. Anyway, I have been busy with examination period which literally consume most of my time. It's hard actually taking Aerospace Engineering and didn't have a real study group but let's just leave this things to a side first. After all the Egyptian face much more tough test compare with me. More than 30 years actually they facing this hard test.

Aku menganggap semua orang tahu tentang kebangkitan orang Mesir dan segalanya bermula di Tunisia. Well, not all of it actually. Ia bermula sejak puluhan tahun dahulu. Rakyat Mesir ditindas dan diperbodoh-bodohkan oleh kuasa pemerintahan sedangkan jika kita di Mesir, literally kita seolah-olah sedang menghirup ilmu Islam. The knowledge is in the air. Masjid berdekatan antara satu sama lain dan kita boleh belajar ilmu agama almost like no charge at all. Namun kadar pengangguran di Mesir tinggi. Kadar kemiskinan juga tinggi sedangkan perkara ini tidak patut berlaku.

Ironiknya, ada pihak yang menuduh Ikhwanul Muslimin(IM)/ Muslim Brotherhood yang memulakan kebangkitan ini dan of course IM menafikannya kerana pemerintahan Hosni Mubarak yang memulakan segala perkara ini. IM basically have nothing to do with this uprising. Tetapi kenapa IM secara tiba-tiba menjadi satu isu hangat dan begitu banyak fitnah yang dilemparkan kepada IM?

Well, IM have been the strongest opposition for Hosni Mubarak administration and for obvious reason, IM have been the all time favourite for the citizen in Egypt. If Hosni Mubarak step down from his position, eventhough IM didn't start this uprising, the whole world knows(at least US and Israel) that IM will be the one replacing Hosni Mubarak. No doubt about that eventhough IM did not start the uprising and they said they did not want the power but they only want the true democracy.

This is the only fact that holding Mubarak from stepping down from his position.

If IM get to hold Egypt, give them 5 years at most and you will see a new Egypt. This is the other fact that have been kept by the Egyptian and keep them stand up against Hosni Mubarak regime.

Enough of Egypt. Back to Malaysia.

Tidak dinafikan pemerintahan Malaysia kurang elok dan pelbagai tuduhan-tuduhan rasuah dilontarkan pada pemerintah yang mainly diwakili oleh Barisan Nasional. Aku mengaku yang tuduhan itu kelihatan seolah-olah betul. Perkara ini juga yang dipercayai rakyat.
Pemerintahan Malaysia juga tidak memenuhi kriteria dalam Islam untuk dipanggil negara Islam.

Bagi aku, it's only the matter of time kerajaan Malaysia akan berubah memandangkan barisan pembangkang yang semakin aktif dan kesedaran rakyat. Tidak dilupakan facebook, twitter dan pelbagai blog yang menjadi alternatif rakyat selain TV3. It's only the matter of time.

Persoalannya, mampukah kita menjadi seperti IM?
Mampukah kita untuk menjadi tempat rujukan sekiranya terjadi perubahan politik di Malaysia?
Kita tidak mengejar pangkat.
Kita tidak mengejar nama perdana menteri.

Apa yang kita impikan ialah negara islam. Regardless who started it but we want to be involved in constructing it.

Untuk itu kita perlu menjadi figure yang dikenali ramai atas amal kita. Amal yang baik of course. Sama seperti IM. Tidak mungkin rakyat akan mempercayai kita sekiranya secara tiba-tiba kita muncul ketika perubahan politik berlaku dan kita ingin mentadbir negara. Sekurang-kurangnya akal yang waras tidak mungkin percaya pada orang seperti itu.

Aku simpulkan perkara yang kita perlu buat untuk mencapai seperti apa yang IM sudah capai dalam 3 perkataan;

Ukhuwah Teras Kegemilangan.

I can see Wawasan 2020. Can you?


p/s: for those who cant really understand for the second part, I talk about IKRAM actually.
