kekasih-Nya sayangkan kita

sempena Hari Keputeraan Nabi Junjungan kita, haruslah saya berkongsi sebuah kisah tentang baginda Rasulullah SAW yang saya pernah dengar dari mulut seorang ustad yang saya tidak tahu namanya(tetapi ustad betol bukan tipu2, saya memang honest tidak tahu nama nya). dan haruslah juga saya berbahasa Malaysia kerana penyampaian ustad tersebut juga dalam bahasa ini dan seboleh-bolehnya saya berusaha menggunakan perkataan-perkataan yang hampir dengan yang telah digunakan oleh ustad tersebut. juga saya takut penyampaian dalam bahasa Inggeris saya tidak tepat dan tidak sampai ke pemahaman kamu-kamu sekalian. nanti terpesong pulak message nyer yer. EHEK

ini adalah kisah kewafatan Rasulullah SAW. pada suatu hari, Rasulullah SAW didatangi malaikat Jibril yang berkata, "Rasulullah, aku datang kerana ingin menyampaikan dua perkara dari Tuhan mu. satu, Allah SWT kata Al-Qur'an dah cukup 30 juzuk. kedua, Allah SWT menyuruh aku mengambil nyawamu, adakah kamu mahu mati?" betapa istimewa nya baginda diberi pilihan samada mahu meninggalkan dunia ini atau tidak. Rasulullah SAW segera menjawab bahawa baginda mahu nyawanya dicabut memandangkan Al-Qur'an sudah cukup himpunannya 30 juzuk dan kerana baginda sudah tidak sabar bertemu dengan zat Pencipta yang sangat dikasihinya. Jibril pun berkata bahawa dia akan datang lagi enam hari untuk mengambil nyawa Rasulullah SAW.

pada hari yang dijanjikan, dikala Rasulullah SAW sudah terlantar sakit, datang malaikat Jibirl bersama tiga lagi malaikat. Allah SWT memberi lagi keistimewaan kepada baginda dimana baginda ditanya jika baginda mempunyai apa-apa permintaan sebelum roh nya dipisah dari badan. Rasulullah SAW memohon agar nyawanya dicabut seperti dicabutnya nyawa dari hamba Allah SWT yang tidak bersembahyang kerana orang dari golongan ini adalah yang paling sakit sekali nyawanya untuk berpisah dari badan berbanding dengan golongan yang berzina, meminum arak dan lain-lain. betapa mulianya Rasul junjungan kita, mahu merasa keperitan yang paling dahsyat yang bakal ditanggung oleh umat nya yang tidak menyembah Tuhan nya walaupun baginda Rasulullah SAW adalah seorang maksum.

malaikat pertama menarik roh Rasulullah SAW dari kaki hingga ke lutut. pengsan Rasulullah SAW kerana terlalu sakit. apabila sedar dari pengsan nya, baginda memohon pada Allah SWT, "kalau beginilah kesakitan yang dirasai oleh umat ku ya Allah, biarlah aku menanggung segala kesakitan ini ya Allah" manusia mana yang boleh menandingi kemuliaan Nabi Muhamad SAW yang mahu menanggung semua kesakitan yang paling getir dalam seumur hidup manusia? dan bukan hanya seorang manusia, baginda mahu menanggung kesakitan untuk setiap umat nya di muka bumi ini..? Allah SWT menolak permintaan baginda dan berkata setiap hamba Nya dan umat Rasulullah harus menerima dan merasai sendiri balasan terhadap apa yang telah merekaka lakukan di muka bumi.

malaikat kedua pula menarik roh Nabi Muhamad SAW dari lutut ke pinggang. sekali lagi baginda pengsan kerana sakit yang teramat. apabila baginda sedar dari pengsan nya, malaikat ketiga pula mencabut roh baginda dari pinggang ke halkum. perkara yang sama berlaku, Rasulullah pengsan kali ketiga. sesedar baginda dari pengsan nya, Rasulullah memohon lagi dengan Allah SWT, "Ya Allah, kau terimalah taubat umat ku walaupun nyawa mereka sudah di takat ini" Allah SWT kabulkan permintaan yang satu ini dari kekasih-Nya itu. inilah sebabnya kita masih mampu mengucapkan dua kalimah syahadah walau kita sudah terlantar nazak. dibandingkan dengan zaman Nabi Musa, dimana Firaun mahu bertaubat apabila dia lemas di Lautan Merah, Allah SWT tidak lagi menerima taubat nya dikala itu. sebelum Jibril mencabut terus roh baginda keluar dari jasad nya, baginda sempat lagi berkata "Ummati, Ummati, Ummati. As-Solah, As-Solah, As-Solah." betapa indah dan mulia nya Rasullullah SAW, sebelum baginda pergi meninggalkan bumi ini buat selamanya, baginda masih lagi ingat dengan kita umat nya. betapa sayangnya baginda terhadap kita ini yang seringkali lalai dan lupa akan diri baginda, apatah lagi pengorbanannya.

semoga menjadi renungan kita bersama (itu termasuk saya juga) yang hari Keputeraan Nabi Muhamad SAW bukan sekadar hari cuti umum, it is something to be celebrated. cause, without the birth of the Prophet Muhamad, we won't be having the faith & arah tuju like we have today, and we won't be living like we are today, and I won't be writing this entry for you to ponder upon. (tiba-tiba ngegeh mahu berbahasa Inggeris kembali).

saya memohon ampun dan maaf andai ada kesilapan dalam menulis kisah ini, juga maaf jika terdapat bahasa yang kurang/tidak sesuai dalam menulis entry ini. andai ada kesilapan di mana-mana bahagian kisah ini, tolong ditegur dan diperbetulkan.

saya memohon kepasa sesiapa yang fasih dalam berbahasa Inggeris, silalah mengalih bahasa entry ini supaya orang yang tidak faham bahasa Malaysia dapat menghayatinya juga. asalkan tidak lari dan terpesong dari message asal.

Allahuma salli ala saiyidina Muhamad, wa'ala ali Muhamad.

jovial Monday

i fell asleep with a big lump of emotion in my heart. didnt even realise how i could doze off in such shape. and i woke up to the songs of the birds chirping happily outside my window. as i take a peek from my off-white curtain, Monday greeted me with jovial blue sky with thick white clouds over the green shades of the palm tree out my window. i instantly light up and forgo what happened the night before, and made a new vow upon my own happiness. think about it folks, how easily God makes us happy - a slight of blue and white and green, plus infinite dreams of tomorrow. it made me think, if i were to wake up in other places other than Kuching this morning, would i be greeted with such fine art? take for example if i woke up in KL, i might be greeted with the scratching sound Giselle made on my door and her chasing over Yui once i opened the door. and when i finally make my exit from the house, i shall be greeted by honking cars and polluted air of urban life. and people say, how we start our day IS significant, no?

read this from a friend's page who got it from somewhere else. lets ponder upon it, coz it is SO true :)

"Sometimes, Allah SWT breaks our spirit to save our soul. He breaks our heart to make us whole. He sends us pain so we can be stronger. He sends us failure so we can be humble. He sends us illness so we can take care of ourselves. Sometimes Allah SWT takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything He gave us. Allah SWT Is Great."

how we help

the best part of being young unemployed graduate is, i can get away from those people who wander around public spaces looking for a pry to market their product, especially those from credit cards company. when they come near me, i'll just say 'i'm still studying' and wave them off and they quickly back away. oooh i like watching that. like i have the power to shut them up and not bother me. hihihi or else, i'll be listening to their ramblings for hours without me understanding any single word they're saying (i'm hopeless when it comes to economics). luckily i can still disguise as a student with my features ;p

but there was this one time when i was still a student when Unicef was doing their casual roadshow in Carrefour, i walked to their booth and very much hoping to be entertained by one of the members to explain on the cause. and so one of them did approach me friendly with a smile. he explained that we can help change lives of the less fortunate children across Malaysia by donating at least RM1 per day, on a monthly basis. i was doing a quick thinking 'RM1 per day wont do me any harm'. its like skipping on the teh o peng or five-piece pisang goreng which i took almost everyday. after a tiny pause, he asked 'where are you working?' and i said 'oh no. i'm still a student' and he went 'oh nevermind. maybe you can help once you start working :)' and he handed me one of the beautiful postcards of Unicef - with an honest smile. and i walked away dejected by the fact that i'm not eligible to help because i'm still a student. well, in a way i like their policy, that they do not force you into doing something you cannot afford. not that saving RM1 is not affordable for a student, its just that in any other person's mind, students need the money more than anyone else. our parents work hard to support our education. even Unicef is doing all the campaigns to help more children to get their right of education.

so my point is... i dont have any really. it was suppose to be a rambling about how i got away from the people selling credit cards. hihihi just read between the lines aight? ;) now here's a cute video for you:

the fighter

call me outdated. coz i am. i dont read the newspapers, i dont watch prime news at 8pm. i still think that i'm a kid that does not need to bother about the happenings around the world, but at the same time wanting to be treated like an adult.

back to me being outdated, earlier today while cleaning the house, my mom found and article about the murder of Marwa Ali El-Sherbini and showed it to me. it was dated back in July 2009. some may have read the story from somewhere else, but i bet some have not heard of it, like me. right? ;p i have goosebumps after finish reading the article. the full article can be found on utusan malaysia online. wikipedia also has a good way of telling the story.

briefly, Marwa was an Egyptian woman who moved to German in 2008 with her family. she was verbally abused in a quarrel at a playground by a man called Alex W over a swing played by Marwa's son and Alex's niece. she was called 'Islamist', 'terrorist' and 'slut' by Alex for wearing the hijaab. others who were at the playground tried to stop Alex but he continued assaulting Marwa with his words until the police arrived. he was charged with defamation and was found guilty with a fine of 780 Euro. Alex then insulted Marwa again and this time publicly in the trial room thus causing him a higher conviction and an appeal hearing was held on July 1, 2009. on that day, after Marwa has testified, Alex walked across the room and stabbed Marwa about 18 times in front of all presence while shouting 'you dont desrve to live!'. Marwa's husband, Elwi Ali Okaz tried to protect her wife but was also stabbed by Alex. there wasnt a single security officer in the court room that day but luckily there was a policeman who was testifying over a different case nearby and he was called to the rescue. the policeman wrongly shot Elwi's leg for he mistook Elwi for the attacker. Elwi was seriously injured and went into a coma for two days, while Marwa couldnt make it and died on the scene. Alex was arrested there and then.

what's worse is that Marwa's three year-old-son was also in the room the day his parents were stabbed, and even worst: Marwa was pregnant with her second child at that time which was only three months old in her womb.

this might happened two months back, but the impact of it will never be outdated.
