mempolitikkan blog. haha! :P



hudud.

saya sokong hudud. 100%. please laksanakan di Malaysia. 
insyaAllah insyaAllah. 

saya sokong usaha untuk memperkanunkan hukum hudud.

usaha kerajaan negeri Kelantan ini amat saya sokong! :)

semoga Allah subhanaAllah ta'ala mempermudahkan. amin amin.

ambil tahu, moga tiada gambaran yang salah dan tafsiran yang mengelirukan kamu okay? :)

lebih-lebih lagi kepada non-muslim yang kebanyakkannya digemburkan dengan gambaran hudud ini kejam dan sebagainya. ini semua spekulasi dan sangkaan yang salah sama sekali. hukum Islam terlaksana ke atas umat Islam. if you are muslim, you should say YES for this. :)

saya tidak tahu banyak perkara tentang isu politik. iya, itu saya mengaku. 
dan saya kurang gemar nak korek sedetail-detailnya untuk ambil tahu segalanya mengenai dunia politik. tetapi untuk membaca dan mendengar secara ilmiah (tiada unsur maki hamun. fakta dan hujah) insyaAllah saya sedia dan sentiasa boleh jer. bukan apa.. part yang tak bestnya sebab bilamana masuk isu so hangat lagi hot ini, serata-rata pasti akan ada keyboard worriors dan penyokong-penyokong hangit parti masing-masing mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat lagi kotor dan busuk ke arah parti yang berlawanan. so tak cun. tak macho langsung. hilang nilai. cuba kamu bayangkan, beribu berjuta perkataan kamu comment di facebook (paling common).. ada bagi effect berapa percent kepada mereka? mungkin ada jugak. namun sejauh mana? terjejaskah? tereffect kah? memberi apa-apa kesankah? selagi ada kuasa.. mereka yang berkuasa tetap saja menggunakan kuasa veto tanpa mempedulikan komentar picisan kalian di mukabuku itu. buang tenaga. buang masa. buang karen letrik. iya dapat meluahkan.. sekadar itu. 
makanya, undi molek-molek! :D 
itu baru beri efek! hee. apa yang memang hak kita, kita ambil. 
but bila masuk bab nak mengundi, stay cool and choose wisely. ^^, (macam musim pilihanraya la pulak)

dan anak muda nowadays, so brave. bravo! clap clap. banzaiii :D
Allah tahu usaha kalian. no matter what happens after this.

setiap manusia hanya akan menanggung dosa masing-masing. 
iya, memang salah menipu, menindas, menyeleweng, makan rasuah sana sini, korupsi berbakul-bakul semua tu. berdosa. dosa besar kottt. huu. balasan akhirat lagi dahsyat kan. tanggungjawab besar. bukan mudah bila dah berada di atas. ingat best ke jadi pemimpin? dok berebut-rebut nak jawatan bagai.

amanah. 
amanah. 
amanah. 

Allah akan tanya di akhirat nanti. jenuh dok bersoal jawab di Padang Mahsyar nanti, sambil kita terkial-kial hitung amal jahat baik kat neraca Timbangan Mizan. time tu takda siapa boleh tolong dahhh. nafsi nafsi. sendiri sendiri. fikir diri sendiri jer time tu kita semua. tak sempat dah nak fikir benda lain. dok ketaq lutut depan Allah. huuu~~ takut kan bila fikir. tiada lagi kehidupan dunia. tiada nak kepoh pergi kerja sana sini. tiap pagi pergi sekolah belajar semua tu, dah takda nanti. nak kena bangun, breakfast, handle itu ini, urus itu ini.. dah takda. ibu bapa, keluarga, kawan-kawan, pengikut, penyokong, pengampu, pembodek semua.. takda. mereka juga sedang nervous dengan diri masing-masing. tiada tempat bergantung harap. none. hanya berharap sepenuhnya pada bekal amalan ketika dunia sahaja. 

tinggal k i t a  dan  a m a l a n. 

iya, tinggal itu.
sebagai penentu.

are we in love with Love?



The more I read and talk to people, the more I think we are in love with love. Now don’t get me wrong – love is nice. Love is beautiful. Love is sweet.

And I love a cute love story just as much as other people. Girl wants to marry guy but he’s not interested. She’s heartbroken but then she realizes he wasn’t the right one for her and she marries someone better. Happily ever after, right?

I told a friend that it seems that people put so much energy, time, and effort into the wedding but not the marriage, and they focus on having the babies but not raising them. There’s this desire to have the wonderful wedding, the wonderful guy, and the wonderful family, but then what? And where does God fit in?

Sooner or later in marriage, most likely during those times when you feel like you’ve had more downs than ups, you start to feel like love isn’t enough.

Love doesn’t equal dreamy happiness and love doesn’t solve all the problems.
Love can be directed to different things and different people. We can do a lot in the name of love. But when we do things purely for the sake of love itself, and not out of love for Allah and trying to earn His pleasure, there will be many problems.

We should be getting married for the sake of Allah, and if things get to the point of divorce, we should separate for the sake of Allah. Not marry and divorce solely for the sake of love, or lack of it. And since we are on the topic of love and marriage, where in Islam does it say that being in love is a requirement?

Allah says,

"And of His signs is that He created for you from yourselves mates that you may find tranquility in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy. Indeed in that are signs for a people who give thought."(Qur’an, 30:21)

This isn’t the same as the obsessive, consuming desire we see or read about. This isn’t the “crazy in love” stuff or the “I’ll do anything for you” love. This is a calm, moderate, purposeful love.

Have you ever had your spouse do something so nice, so extra loving? And then it seems like all the sadness, anger, or resentment and disappointment fades away? And everything seems okay after all?  Or even with your kids…all of a sudden they will clean up without being asked, listen without having to be told twice, or show unexpected affection, and it seems like the world is great.

On the other hand, when your spouse makes you furious, when the kids are on their worst behavior, and when the house is a mess...how quickly everything seems to go wrong. When everything is based on love, and then something happens when it’s taken out of the equation, you are left with nothing.

This happens when we become too attached to “love” and “good times”, when our world seems to turn upside down when we don’t have either one. It hurts.

And I think this is because we love “love and happiness” and fairy tale ideals. But then again who doesn’t love these things? We all enjoy good times and ease. No one wants hardship or a cold marriage. But I think this focus on romance is a distraction from Shaitan. We get so caught up with being in love that when things go wrong (and they will because this is the dunya), couples want to separate or divorce. Couples want to give up. They think the relationship is hopeless because “the love isn’t there anymore”.
Some people think that love makes the marriage. They think if they aren’t holding hands while taking long walks in the park or staring at each other over candlelight and roses, something is wrong. I knew a young woman who felt that something was missing because her husband hadn’t fallen head over heels for her.

I read a question online recently. “What if God designed Marriage to make us Holy instead of Happy?”

This is something to consider. Perhaps Allah gave us marriage as a means to draw closer to Him, not to the dunya.

Your spouse is supposed to help you get closer to Allah, and marriage teaches you things about yourself you otherwise would not have learned. And that’s what marriage is about.
Marriage isn’t supposed to be this super relationship where you love your spouse more than you love yourself. Sometimes we think our spouse is supposed to do anything and everything for us, because they “love” us. And vice versa… we feel so “in love” that we would do almost anything to keep our spouse pleased. And we feel upset when we don’t get that level of devotion in return. But the only One we need to love unconditionally is Allah, and then His messenger (peace be upon him). Not yourself or your desires. Not your spouse, and not even your children.

Allah says,

“Say [O Muhammad, peace be upon him], if your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your relatives, wealth which you have obtained, commerce wherein you fear decline, and dwellings with which you are pleased are more beloved to you than Allah and His Messenger and Jihaad [i.e., fighting] in His cause, then wait until Allah executes His command.” (Qur'an, 9:24)

Allah also says,

“Yet, there are those who chose to worship others beside Allah as rivals to Him, loving them as they should love Allah, but the believers have greater love for Allah." (Qur'an 2:165)  

And ‘Abdullah Ibn Hishaam, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "We were with the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) as he was holding ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattaab, may Allah be pleased with him, by his hand. ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said to the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam): "You are more beloved to me than everything except myself." The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) replied: "No O 'Umar! I swear by Him in whose hand is my soul, [you will not truly believe] until I become more beloved to you than your own self." Thereupon, 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "I swear by Allah that you are now more beloved to me than myself." The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) replied: "Now! O ‘Umar (i.e., now your faith is complete)." (Al-Bukhari).

Allah says, 

“The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves.” (Qur’an, 33: 6).

Look what happens when we love Allah and His messenger (peace be upon him) – Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, said that a man asked the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam): "When will the (last) hour come?" He (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) replied: “What have you done to prepare for it?” The man replied: "Nothing, except the love I have for Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) replied: “You will be (on the Day of Judgment) with those whom you love.” (Al-Bukhari).
Anas Ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Prophet (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: “One who attains the following three things will taste the sweetness of faith: to make Allah and His Messenger more beloved to himself than anything else, to love a person for no other reason except for the sake of Allah, and to hate to return to disbelief just as much as he would hate to be thrown into fire.” (Al-Bukhari, Muslim and others).

So when we do things out of love, let’s do it because we love Allah and His messenger (peace be upon him)—and because our love for each other stems from this greater love. Let our love for Allah be the base and the reason for our actions and In-sha-Allah we will earn Allah’s reward and mercy.

In this way, we will attain a greater happiness—in this world and the Hereafter—than could be gained through “loving love.”

"marriage is hardwork.."


  • for being chosen, just be natural as you are.
  • bring the family ties together.
  • discouraging your couple to be disrespectful his/her parents.

for the parents-in-law, 
  • get over the issues. discuss.

jujur apa adanya. kita manusia.



ada banyak perkara dalam dunia ni yang kita tak faham..
dan belum lagi akan dapat benar-benar faham 
selagi kita tidak mengalami dan melaluinya sendiri.

kita belum menjadi ibu, 
jadi kita tak dapat nak betul-betul faham 
bagaimana naluri seorang ibu..
penat lelahnya
risaunya
sakit peritnya
sabarnya
tabahnya

kita belum menjadi ayah, 
jadi kita tak dapat nak betu-betul faham 
bagaimana naluri seorang ayah..
sukar payahnya
runsingnya
resahnya
tanggungjawabnya
amanahnya

kebanyakkannya tidak terzahir pada luaran, 
namun jauh di dalam lubuk sanubari mereka..
apa kita tahu..?

kita belum menjadi nenek atau datuk..
kita belum menjadi moyang..
kita belum menjadi menantu orang..
kita belum menjadi pemimpin kepada berbilion-bilion rakyat jelata
kita belum menjadi pencari rezeki sepenuh masa
kita belum menjadi ________ (sila isi tempat kosong mengikut kesesuaian gelaran masing2)






kita semua manusia bukan?
dan manusia.. pasti akan menempuh setiap fasa-fasa kehidupan itu.
setiap manusia pasti akan mengharunginya (ya, jika Allah panjangkan lagi usia)
dan manusia juga, paling cepat melupai dan menghargai apa yang sudah ada.

kita masih ada lagi ayah, kita senang-senang buat tak endah kehadiran dia. banyak betul nak bantahnya. penuh betul songehnya. padat sangat dengan degilnya. lawan sana sini. marah itu ini. tak boleh nak bertolak ansur dan belajar untuk terimanya seadanya.

ya, mungkin saja ayah kita dulu memang ada yang tersilap dan tersalah dalam mendidik dan membesarkan kita.. tetapi dalam dirinya yang semakin dimamah usia.. tentu saja agak sukar untuk kita harapkan perubahan dirinya yang ketara. ada tabiat dan perawatakannya yang sudah terlalu sebati dalam jiwanya. susah untuk dibuang dan dikikis walau dia sendiri tahu sifat-sifat tersebut negatif dan buruk. kita yang generasi muda ni pun dah cukup susah untuk konsisten membentuk dan memperbaiki diri dengan nilai-nilai positif dan kebaikan, inikan lagi ayah dan ibu kita yang semakin meningkat usianya.

ya, tentu saja mereka yang mempunyai kesedaran akan cuba untuk sedikit demi sedikit berubah namun kadang-kadang akan tersasar juga kembali ke tabiat lama. kita sendiri pernah lalui bagaimana payahnya nak buang sifat-sifat buruk diri kita kan? awal-awal tu boleh lagi. semangat lagi. disiplin lagi. tapi 3 minggu kemudian? sebulan kemudian? entah kemana semuanya.. huuu. and of course i am included. and i'm talking all of this, reflecting more on myself.

bagaimana sampai satu saat tiba-tiba Allah SWT tarik balik apa yang Dia pernah bagi? tanpa kita sangka. tanpa kita duga. baru time tu nak menyesal..? lumrah manusiawi, bila dah tiada, bila dah kehilangan.. baru nak taubat, baru insaf segala bagai. menangis air mata darah pun dah tak berguna. apa yang pergi, takkan kembali lagi. biar kita nampak kalah di mata insan. biar kita nampak kalah di mata dunia.. dengan merendahkan diri terlebih dahulu memohon maaf, walaupun kita berada pada pihak yang benar. kerana pada sisi hakikinya, kita menang di mata Dia :') 

belajarlah untuk sentiasa lunakkan jiwamu. dan tetap saja yakin, simpul matikan ikatannya biar teguh..yang Allah itu sangat adil. terlalu adil. Maha Adil. adil pada sisiNya, tidak sama ukurannya adil di sisi manusia. siapa kita untuk menerka dan mempertikaikan tentang bagaimana Allah membahagi-bahagikan urusan adil kepada setiap satu hambaNya? kita tak tahu. kita tak tahu. banyak benda yang kita tak tahu. 

ya, tahu kadang-kadang memang susah sangat nak buat even perkara nampak macam mudah dan mungkin pada sesetengah orang "alaa takda menda punnn. benda simple dirumit-rumitkan". kita kena faham, ada banyak perkara dalam dunia ni, kecil pada kamu.. tapi besar pada dia. dan kecil pada dia, besar pada kamu. Allah SWT menguji kita mengikut tahap kemampuan kita. sebesar itu ujian buat dia, sebesar itu jugalah kemampuan dia untuk menghadapi. seberat itu dugaan buat dia, seberat itu jugalah kemampuan dia boleh memikulnya. Allah kan Maha Hebat~! Dia tahu kekuatan setiap hamba-hambaNya. hee.

cuba kita selalu reset minda untuk cepat-cepat fikir tentang akhirat. bermonolog dengan diri sendiri. memujuk dan mententeramkan diri. contohnya :
"takpa la biar rasa malu nak kena tebalkan muka minta maaf daripada nak kena tanggung dosa dengan dia sampai ke akhirat." 
"takpa la aku yang pi cari dia dulu untuk eratkan balik ukhwah dan silaturrahim daripada Allah tanya dan persoalan masa timbangan amal nanti."
"aaahhh malasnya kadang-kadang tu nak solat awal waktu. dok lengah-lengahkan ja. ehh kalau satgi tiba-tiba mati Allah tarik nyawa cemana?"
"aku dah la tak payah amal ibadah. cukup-cukuplah aku kurangkan dosa.."
"nak bangun tahajud pun time bulan Ramadhan ja rajin, jadi kena banyakkan diri buat kebaikan lain."

biar orang tak nampak takpe. biar satu dunia tak tahu takpe.
baik di sisi manusia, tak sama baik di sisi Allah. 
kita bukan alim ulama' yang kedudukan mereka dekat denganNya, 
jadi kena banyak usaha buat kebaikan lain. biar kecil. biar sesimple manapun.
Allah tahu. Allah nampak. Allah suka :)

selepas kita telah usahakan sebaik mungkin, selebihnya serahkan pada Allah. 
orang nak judge nampak tak ikhlas ke, hipokrit ke, menunjuk-nunjuk ke, bajet ke, 
all of that, totally it is really okay.
Allah always knows us better, than others. 
even far better than our own selves.
Dia yang ciptakan kita, forsure Dia kenal kita luar dalam.
tak boleh nak tipu. hee.
beware, He will caught you red-handed
with or without you realised it.
:)

Allah is watching us. always. twenty-four hours.
eh eh ini 'CCTV terhebat dunia'~! woahh. :O


kadang-kadang kita dapat rasa bila hati makin keras.
can feel it. bila rasa kita macam makin jauh dengan Allah.
senyap-senyap Allah hantar 'peringatan' menerusi caraNya tersendiri.
baru tersentak dan sedar, eh. Allah nak suruh dekat balik dengan Dia.
dunia ni memang medan ujian bukan?
tempat untuk diuji.
bukan destinasi terakhir.
of course la ujian datang bersilih ganti.
untuk pilih siapa yang paling terbaik amalnya.
dan moga,
kita di antaranya.
