WWK #13 - QIAM

"The shortest distance between a problem and its solution is the distance between your knees and the floor."

(Anon)

*          *          *

That day she collapsed, that very same day I taught her how to tahajjud. She did woke up that morning at 3am as I was deep asleep.

"I used the scarf and your praying mat."

When you are in deep trouble and not knowing where to escape, all the quarrel about religion doesn't matter to you anymore. Kau rembat apa saja yang hatimu turutkan.

Kadang tu tak faham kenapa manusia bergaduh membunuh, sedangkan sama-sama lemah di hadapanNya.

Circle #21- PERSEVERANCE

Diana:

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together."

Circle #20 - ASAL BUAT

Kak Hanna:

"Kebatilan yang tersusun dapat mengalahkan kebenaran yang tidak tersusun."

(Ali bin Abi Talib R.A)

Kerja kita kena tersusun dan berstrategi, dalam dakwah lagi-lagi lah. Kena ada target. Bukan 'asal buat dakwah'.

*          *          *

Funny how we can be so well-planned, at least pening-pening kepala critically thinking about our study and life, while at the same time tutup sebelah mata, asal boleh je buat dakwah.

Kalau setiap individu muslim rasa dakwah tu terlampau berat, dan mereka rasa merekalah orang yang terawang-awang itu, so who's gonna join the barisan macam surah As-Saff ?

Humility and humbleness is a necessity. But not to a point where it kills you and make you a part of buih-buih di lautan.

Vienna #34 - SILAT DENGAN DIRI

"My heart is at ease knowing that what was meant for me will never miss me, and that was misses me was never meant for me."

(Imam Ash-Shafie')

*         *         *

That inner battle inside u being the greatest jihad of all. To have the full control of yourself.

Masalah manusia #24 - IPU 2900 di Palangka Raya

Di dalam siri filem Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of The Ring, Boromir ada menggambarkan suasana Mordor dengan ayat berikut
"One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gate are guarded by more than just Ocrs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poison fume. Not with 10 000 men could you do this. It is folly"

Namun tanah kami nusantara sangat subur, mana mungkin barren wasteland. Di kelilingi rimba menghijau, mana mungkin Black Gate. Didiami khalifah, mana mungkin orcs. Udaranya di pagi hari bertemankan embun suci, mana mungkin poison fume.

Atau

Kita semua sudah bertukar ke itu.

HAU AB !

Sometimes you thought by going out you loose everything, but it's the staying in really...

Consul General

"A consul is an official representative of the government of one state in the territory of another, normally acting to assist and protect the citizens of the consul's own country, and to facilitate trade and friendship between the peoples of the two countries. A consul is distinguished from an ambassador, the latter being a representative from one head of state to another. There can be only one ambassador from one country to another, representing the first country's head of state to that of the second, and his or her duties revolve around diplomatic relations between the two countries; however, there may be several consuls, one in each of several main cities, providing assistance with bureaucratic issues to both the citizens of the consul's own country travelling or living abroad and to the citizens of the country the consul resides in who wish to travel to or trade with the consul's country."

(Wikipedia)

*          *           *

Duta boleh ada satu ja mewakili negara masing-masing. Konsulat boleh banyak, bekerja bersama-sama duta/mewakili duta di bandar-bandar besar lain.

Sebab tu Austria takda konsul, kecik nau negaranya. Haih... puas ku bertanya

EXCUSE

"Sampaikan dariku walau sepotong ayat."

(Muhammad Rasulullah)

"Andai kata seorang Muslim tidak memberi nasihat kepada saudaranya, kecuali setelah dirinya menjadi orang yang sempurna, nescaya tidak akan ada para pemberi nasihat."

(Hasan al-Banna)

*          *           *

Alasan mana lagi kau nak bagi?

Why the hesitation to do good, but no single hesitation to do bad?

NO PAIN, NO GAIN

"Sesuatu keuntungan,
kebaikan,
kenikmatan,
kesempurnaan,

dan kesemuanya
tidak akan diperolehi kecuali
dengan merasakan kesulitan,

dan tidak akan bisa dicapai kecuali
dengan melalui jambatan keletihan."

(Ibn Qayyim)

*          *          *

If success was so easy, gold medal would be of no value then, right?

Circle #19 - BUANG DAKI, GILAP DIRI

Punya peribadi yang disegani malah oleh musuhmu sendiri.

The character that would be respected even by your strongest enemy.

Apabila Abu Sufian yang ketika itu lantang menentang Islam, dikhabarkan perihal perkahwinan anak perempuannya dengan Rasululullah, beliau menjawab: I could not think of any better person to marry her other than Muhammad.

Circle #18 - GEHIRN NUTZEN

"Sami3na wa ato3na"

The hope for critical thinkers among the followers towards their upper ones...

*           *            *

Menanya secara kritikal bukan makna membangkang atau tak percaya atau tak 'tsiqah'.

The very reason why quality ulama'-ulama' , cendikiawan-cendikiawan di barat jauh lebih tinggi berbanding di Malaysia. Their followers ask them, object them, present their own opinion on the subject. And both sides accept with open heart.

*          *           *

Budaya kita sokmo mengangguk dan 'berlapang dada.'

Baik yang educated atau tidak, yang berkedudukan atau tidak.

Tolonglah ringan mulut bertanya with sincere heart. Tolonglah...

Layar #10 - 1 Litre of Tears

"Even though I have been hurt before by those heartless glances, this also helped me to understand that around me, there still exists some gentle glances.

Therefore I will definitely won't run away. That's what I'll do. Definitely, always."

(Kitou Aya)

*          *          *

Spinocerebbula disease (fatal disease) is just incomparable to wearing scarf and being a foreign student.

Kecil ja ujian Allah bagi kat kau sebenarnya ni. Bersyukurlah :)

Dah re-run 20, 40 kali pun still nangis sebaldi... hadui lah

got problem with that?

"So what if this life isn't perfect? It's not Jannah."

(Nouman Ali Khan)

TAUBAH

Manchmal musst du dich verlieren, um wieder zu dir selbst zu finden.

Sometimes you have to lose yourself to discover who you are.

(Paulo Coelho)

Cukuplah lama sangat sesat merayau tu, Huda. Baliklah... :)

Vienna #33 - PRAYER

Just before I could catch the bus 100m away from the front door,

'Hallo hallo! am Dienstag hab' ich Operation. Bete für mich, ja!'
(Hey hey! My operation is on tuesday. Pray for me!)

I turned back. Oh Frau Hausmeister (the housekeeper lady). Looked at the bus, ok ciao, Mr.Bus. Ran towards her.

'Ja, natürlich! Sicher bete ich für sie. Dienstag, ja.'
(Yes, of course! I pray for you. Tuesday, right.)

*          *          *

Everybody, in some ways , any ways,  have hope in God.

Thoughts #29 - DREAM TO DIVE

If I get to dive deep into the sea,
I'm afraid I might don't want to come back to the surface.

Circle #17 - TRAVEL

Saheera:

I see that stagnant water soon turns foul... If it flows, it becomes pure and if it is still, it does not.

Lions, without leaving their dwellings, would never hunt... An arrow, without leaving its bow, would never strike its target.

The sun, were it to remain still in the sky... would cause all people to become weary and tired.

Gold undiscovered in its place is just like dirt... and 'oud left in its place is just another type of wood.

(Imam Ash-Shafi'ee)
