Terjemahan ini adalah tesis Ph.D ttg kaum Yahudi oleh Dr Stephen Carr Leon yang dijumpai di sebuah laman web.
Mengapa Yahudi Bijak?
Setelah berada 3 tahun di Israel kerana menjalani housemanship dibeberapa hospital disana, ada beberapa perkara yang menarik dapat saya perhatikan untuk dijadikan tesis ini, iaitu “Mengapa Yahudi Bijak?”. Memang tidak dapat dinafikan ramai cendekiawan berbangsa Yahudi, dari segala bidang, Engineering, muzik, saintis dan yang paling hebat ialah bidang perniagaan, di mana ia memang paling tersohor. Hampir 70% perniagaan di dunia dikuasai oleh kaum Yahudi, dari kosmetik, pakaian, pemakanan, senjata, perhotelan, perfileman diHollywood dan sebagainya.
Ketika tahun kedua, akhir bulan December 1980 dan sedang saya menghitung hari untuk pulang ke California saya terfikir apakah sebabnya kaum Yahudi begitu pintar? Kenapa tuhan memberi kelebihan kepada mereka? Apakah ini suatu kebetulan? Atau oleh manusia sendiri? Adakah bijak boleh dijana? Seperti kilang pengeluaran?
Maka saya pun tergerak membuat tesis untuk Ph.d saya, di samping kebaikan untuk umat sejagat dan dapat hidup secara harmoni. Untuk pengetahuan anda tesis yang saya lakukan ini mengambil masa hampir lapan tahun, ini kerana untuk mengumpulkan data-data yang setepat mungkin.
Antara data-data yang saya kumpulkan ialah pemakanan, adat resam, agama, persiapan awal untuk melahirkan zuriat dan sebagainya dan data -data tadi saya cuba bandingkan dengan bangsa dan kaum-kaum lain.
Marilah kita mulakan dengan persiapan awal melahirkan zuriat. Di Israel, setelah mengetahui yang sang ibu sedang mengandung, pertama kali saya perhatikan ialah, sang ibu akan sering menyanyi dan bermain piano dan si ibu dan bapa akan membeli buku metamatik dan menyelesaikan masalah metamatik bersama suami, saya sungguh hairan kerana teman saya yang mengandung sering membawa buku metamatik dan bertanya kepada saya beberapa soalan yang beliau tak dapat menyelesaikanya, oleh kerana saya memang minat tentang matematik, tentu saja dengan senang saya bantu beliau. Saya bertanya kepada beliau, adakah ini untuk anak kamu? Beliau menjawab, “ia, ini untuk anak saya yang masih didalam kandungan, saya sedang melatih otak beliau, semuga ia menjadi genius apabila dewasa kelak” Perkara ini membuat saya tertarik untuk mengikut perkembangan beliau seterusnya. Berbalik kepada metamatik tadi, tanpa merasa jenuh beliau membuat latihan metamatik sehingga beliau melahirkan anak.
Seperkara lagi yang saya perhatikan ialah pemakanan beliau, sejak awal mengandung beliau gemar sekali memakan kacang badam dan kurma bersama susu , dan untuk tengah hari makan utama beliau ialah roti dan ikan tanpa kepala bersama salad yang digaul dengan badam dan berbagai jenis kekacang, menurut beliau daging ikan sungguh baik untuk perkembangan otak dan kepala ikan mengandungi kimia yang tidak baik yang dapat merosakkan pengembangan dan penumbuhan otak anak didalam kandungan. menurut beliau ini adalah adat orang orang yahudi ketika mengandung dan ianya menjadi semacam kewajipan untuk ibu ibu yang sedang mengandung mengambil pil minyak ikan. (Catatan : Orang –orang yg menghafaz al Quran juga digalakkan mengambil kismis, badam, korma dan susu utk meningkatkan daya ingatan)
Ketika saya diundang untuk makan malam bersama orang-orang Yahudi, perkara pertama yang saya perhatikan ialah menu mereka. Setiap undangan yg sama perhatikan ialah mereka gemar sekali memakan ikan (hanya isi atau fillet) dan biasanya daging tidak akan ada bersama dimeja jika ada ikan, menurut mereka, campuran daging dan ikan tak elok dimakan bersama. Salad dan kacang adalah suatu kemestian, terutama bdam.
Seperkara yang pelik ialah mereka akan memakan buah-buahan dahulu sebelum memakan hidangan utama. Jangan terperanjat jika anda diundang ke rumah Yahudi anda akan dihidangkan buah-buahan dahulu. Menurut mereka, dengan memakan hidangan kabohidrat (nasi atau roti) dahulu kemudian buah-buahan, ini akan menyebabkan kita merasa ngantuk dan lemah dan payah untuk memahami pelajaran di sekolah. (Ini juga merupakan sunnah Rasullullah supaya makan buah2an dahulu baru makanan yang berat)
Di Israel, merokok adalah taboo, apabila anda diundang makan di rumah Yahudi, jangan sekali-kali merokok, dan tanpa malu mereka akan menyuruh anda keluar dari rumah mereka dan merokok di luar rumah mereka. Menurut saintis di Universiti Israel, siasatan menunjukkan nikotin dapat merosakkan sel utama pada otak manusia dan akan melekat pada genes, ini bermakna keturunan perokok bakal membawa generasi yg cacat otak ( bodoh atau lembab). Suatu penemuan yg dahsyat ditemui oleh saintis yg mendalami bidang genes dan DNA. Para perokok harap ambil perhatian. (Ironinya, pemilik pengeluar rokok terbesar adalah …… tekalah sendiri..!)
Perhatian saya selanjutnya ialah melawati tadika mereka, pemakanan anak-anak tadi cukup dikawal, makanan awal ialah buah-buahan bersama kacang badam, diikuti dengan menelan pil minyak ikan (code oil lever) Didalam pengamatan saya, kanak2 Yahudi sungguh bijak dan rata-rata mereka memahami 3 bahasa iaitu Hebrew, Arab dan Inggeris dan sedari awal lagi mereka telah dilatih bermain piano dan violin, ini adalah suatu kewajipan. Menurut mereka bermain musik dan memahami nota notanya dapat meningkatkan lagi IQ kanak kanak dan sudah tentu bakal menjadikan budak itu bijak.
Ini menurut saintis Yahudi, gegaran musik dapat stimulate (semacam senaman untuk otak) maka itu terdapat ramai sekali genius musik terdiri dari kaum Yahudi.
Seterusnya ke darjah 1 hingga 6, anak-anak Yahudi akan diajar matematik berkonsepkan perniagaan dan pelajaran sains amatlah diberi keutamaan. Di dalam perhatian peribadi saya, perbandingan dengan anak anak di California, ianya jauh berbeza tentang IQ dan boleh saya katakan 6 tahun kebelakang!! !. Segala pelajaran akan dengan mudah ditangkap oleh anak Yahudi. Selain dari pelajaran tadi sukan juga menjadi kewajipan bagi mereka dan sukan yg diberi keutamaan ialah memanah, menembak dan berlari, menurut teman saya ini, memanah dan menembak dapat melatih otak mem fokus sesuatu perkara disamping mempermudahkan persiapan untuk perhidmatan negara. (Ketiga2 sukan ini juga dianjurkan oleh Islam melalui hadith Rasullullah tetapi dilaksanakan oleh bangsa Yahudi yang tahu kebaikannya)
Selanjutnya pemerhatian saya menuju ke sekolah tinggi (menengah) disini murid murid ditekan dengan pelajaran mata sains dan mereka digalakkan mencipta produk, segala projek mereka walaupon kadangkala kelihatannya lucu dan mengarut, tetap diteliti dengan serius apatah lagi ianya berupa senjata, perubatan dan engineering, idea itu akan dibawa ke institute tinggi di Politeknik dan Universiti.
Satu lagi yg di beri keutamaan ialah fakulti perniagaan. Saya sungguh terperanjat melihat mereka begitu agresif dan seriusnya mereka tentang perniagaan. Di akhir tahun di universiti, para penuntut dibidang niaga dikehendaki melakukan projek dan memperaktik kanya dan anda hanya akan lulus jika kumpulan anda(10 pelajar setiap kumpulan) dapat keuntungan sebanyak $US1juta! Anda terperanjat? Itulah kenyataan, dengan rangkaian seluruh dunia dan ditaja sepenuhnya oleh syarikat milik Yahudi, maka tidak hairanlah mereka dapat menguasai ½ perniagaan didunia! Siapakah yg mencipta design Levis yg terkini? Ianya dicipta di Universiti Israel oleh fakulti bisnes dan fesyen.
Pernahkah anda melihat cara orang Yahudi melakukan ibadah mereka? Salah satu caranya ialah dengan menggoyangkan kepala mereka, menurut mereka ini dapat mengaktifkan otak mereka dan menambahkan oksigen di kepala, banyak agama lain di Timur Tengah, seperti Islam juga ada menyuruh umatnya menunduk atau menggoyangkan kepala, ini guna dapat mensimulasikan otak kita supaya bertambah aktif. Lihat orang-orang Jepun, mereka sering menunduk nundukkan kepala dan ianya sebagai adat. Ramai orang-orang Jepun yg pandai? Adakah ianya sebagai kebetulan? Kegemaran mereka ialah sushi (ikan mentah). Adakah ini kebetulan? Fikirkanlah!
Berpusat di New York, Dewan perniagaan Yahudi bersedia membantu mereka yg berminat untuk melakukan bisnes (sudah tentu untuk Yahudi sahaja) jika mereka ada idea yg bernas, jawatan kuasa akan memberi pinjaman tanpa faedah dan pentadbir dari jawatan kuasa tadi akan bekerjasama dengan anda untuk memastikan yg perniagaan mereka menurut landasan yg betul. Maka itu lahirlah Starbuck, Dell comptr, Cocacola, DKNY, Oracle, Perfileman di Hollywood, Levis, Dunkin Donut dan ada beratus kedai ternama di bawah naungan dewan perniagaan Yahudi di New York. Graduan Yahudi dari fakulti perubatan New York akan disarankan untuk mendaftar di persatuan ini dan digalakkan memulakan klinik mereka sendiri dengan bantuan wang tanpa faedah, barulah saya tahu mengapa hospital di New York dan California sentiasa kekurangan doktor pakar.
Kesimpulannya, pada teori saya, melahirkan anak dan keturunan yg bijak boleh dilaksanakan dan tentunya bukan semalaman, ianya memerlukan masa, beberapa generasi mungkin? Persiapan awal adalah ketika sang ibu mengandung, galakkanlah si ibu melakukan latihan matematik yg mudah tetapi konsisten di samping mendengar musik klasik. Seterusnya ubahlah cara pemakanan, makanlah makanan yg elok dan berhasiat yg baik untuk otak, menghayati muzik sejak kecil adalah baik sekali untuk penumbuhan otak kanak-kanak, dengan bermain piano dan violin sudah tentu dapat melatih anak-anak mencerdaskan otak mereka demikian juga sukan yg memerlukan konsentrasi yg tinggi, seperti memanah, bola keranjang, dart dan menembak.
Merokok menjanjikan generasi yg bodoh dan sudah tentu genes bodoh akan mengikut ke jenerasi siperokok. Lawatan saya ke Singapore pada tahun 2005 amat memeranjatkan sekali, disini perokok seperti
dianaktirikan dan begitu susah sekali untuk perokok dan anda tahu berapa harga sekotak rokok? US$ 7 !!! Ini bersamaan perbelanjaan sehari untuk makan anda!! Saya puji sekali sikap pemerintah Singapura dan menakjubkan sekali!!! Dan seperti Israel ianya begitu taboo dan cara pentadbiran dan segi pembelajaran mereka hampir serupa dengan Israel, maka itu saya lihat banyak institusi pelajaran mereka bertaraf dunia walaupun hakikatnya negeri Singapura hanyalah sebuah pulau sebesar Manhattan!!
Anda mungkin musykil, benarkah merokok dapat melahirkan generasi bodoh, saya telah menemui beberapa bukti menyokong teori ini. Lihat saja Indonesia, jika anda ke Jakarta, di mana saja anda berada, dari restoran, teater, kebun bunga hingga ke muzium,hidung anda akan segera terbau asak rokok! Dan harga rokok? Cuma US$ .70cts !!! Dan hasilnya? Dengan penduduknya berjumlah jutaan orang berapa banyakkah universiti terdapat di sana? Hasil apakah yg dapat dibanggakan? Teknologi? Jauh sekali. Adakah mereka dapat berbahasa selain dari bahasa mereka sendiri? Mengapa mereka begitu sukar sekali menguasai bahasa Inggeris? Di tangga berapakah kedudukan mereka di pertandingan matematik sedunia? Adakah ini bukan akibat merokok? Anda fikirlah sendiri.
Di tesis saya ini, saya tidak akan menimbulkan soal agama atau bangsa, adakah Yahudi itu zalim sehingga diusir dari semenjak zaman Pharaoh hingga ke Hitler, bagi saya itu isu politik dan survival, yg ingin saya ketengahkan ialah, mampu kah kita dapat melahirkan generasi yg bijak seperti Yahudi? Jawapannya ialah mungkin dan tidak mustahil dan ianya memerlukan perubahan, dari segi pemakanan dan cara mendididik anak dan saya kira hanya memerlukan 3 generasi sahaja. Ini dapat saya lihat sendiri tentang cucu saya, ini setelah saya mengajar anak saya melalui program yg telah saya nyatakan diatas tadi, pada umur 9 tahun (cucu saya) dia dapat menulis essay sepanjang 5 mukasurat penuh. Essaynya hanyalah mengenai 'Mengapa saya gemarkan tomato!'
Selamat sejahtera dan semuga kita dapat melahirkan manusia yg bijak dan bersifat mulia untuk kebaikan manusia sejagat tanpa mengenal batasan bangsa.
Dr. Stephen Carr Leon
Ulasan : Mengapakah cerdik pandai Islam zaman lampau adalah mereka yang bijak dan pakar dalam pelbagai bidang adalah kerana mereka mengamalkan apa yang diajar oleh Rasullullah. Kebanyakan yang diajar kepada masyarakat moden hari ini sebenarnya merupakan apa yang berlawanan dengan ajaran Rasulallah supaya kita tidak mendapat kebaikan tetapi bangsa Yahudi melaksanakannya utk kebaikan bangsa mereka sendiri. Spt contoh pengilang terbesar rokok adalah bangsa Yahudi tetapi mereka tidak menghisapnya. Begitu juga, amalan makan di hotel2, buah2an selepas makanan utama sedangkan Yahudi memakan buah terlebih dahulu spt yg dianjurkan oleh Rasullullah. Yg mungkin tidak disentuh di sini ialah cara makan hari ini yang rata-rata menggunakan tangan kiri menggunakan garfu yg jelas bertentangan dengan ajaran Rasullulah. Adakah kita akan terus menggunakan tangan kiri sambil memegang garfu semata-mata untuk mematuhi etika makan yang dicipta entah siapa. Fikirkanlah : makan dengan tangan kanan, seperti ajaran Islam , kita mendapat ganjaran pahala dpd Allah. Makan dengan tangan kiri, walaupun tidak berdosa tetapi amalan yang sia2, kita cuma berbangga kerana berjaya mematuhi etika makan yang tidak pernah kita selidiki berasal dari mana ???

Not Spoon-feeding Anymore
~credits to falah.fotopages.com~First two-weeks of new semester really made me exhausted.Labs,preparations for trials,exams,presentations and etc2.Lectures were university-like as I am a university student now.Brief explanation about topics and then voila,goodbye.That's the difference between life in university and in school.Have to realize that instead of blaming others.Learn beyond mastery,I want to practice that.Insya-Allah.Not for the sake of exam,of course.I want to keep them deep in my heart and mind,like my friends did.Knowledge brings me closer to Him so I have to maintain and at the same time inculcate more virtues in a manner that pleased Him,so that I could gain more barakah.Insya-Allah=)
Just to share,I was waiting for the machine in Biology lab to measure glucose concentration when I saw something which I think was an evidence of His Almighty.My friend's face was soo radiant,a surge of tranquility struck in me as I watching his face.Later,did I knew he had already performed Maghrib prayer while my group members and I didn't yet.To my amazament,one of my group members also realize this.Subhanallah...tenang jiwa yang serabut..
To be blunt,do not delay your prayer.If you have to do something,just make sure that you do not turn your back on His Words=)

Beware of Stealth Crusade!
Click here to read more about this stealth crusade..
If I'm not mistaken,this Stealth Crusade is actually the continuity of Holy Crusade back when our Sallehuddin Al-Ayyubi and other Saracens (word for Muslim in Middle Ages) fought against the Crusaders during 11th,12th and 13th century.Even though if we doesn't know this,of course we actually aware of the diseases (instead of chikungunya and the list goes on) invaded us Muslims which make us illusion Muslim,click here

Elakkan berkata 'kalau'..

Buat diriku dan dirimu jua=)
Hadith :
Sabda Rasulullah SAW yang bermaksud "Mukmin yang kuat lebih disukai oleh Allah daripada mukmin yang lemah. Namun pada kedua-duanya ada kebaikan. Berjaga-jagalah terhadap perkara yang boleh mendatangkan kebaikan kepada engkau, pintalah pertolongan daripada Allah. Sekiranya engkau ditimpa sesuatu musibah, maka jangan engkau berkata "Sekiranya (kalau) aku lakukan begini maka sudah pasti lain yang berlaku. Tetapi katakanlah "Itu merupakan takdir Allah dan Dia melakukan apa yang dikehendaki-Nya, sesungguhnya ‘kalau’ akan membukakan pintu amalan syaitan.”
(Riwayat Muslim)
Huraian
1. Kekuatan seseorang Muslim itu diukur bukan sahaja dari segi fizikal (tubuh badan) tetapi juga dinilai daripada aspek kekuatan iman. Bahkan itulah yang paling penting.
2. Orang yang sentiasa bewaspada terhadap nikmat kehidupan di dunia tidak akan mudah terjerumus dalam perangkap syaitan. Segala tindakan yang diambil mencerminkan ketaqwaannya kepada Allah dan dia sekali-kali tidak membiarkan kebaikan dan keburukan yang menimpanya sebagai suatu kegembiraan (kemenangan) dan kesedihan semata tetapi percaya bahawa semuanya itu mempunyai hikmah yang tersendiri daripada Allah untuk diambil pengajaran.
3. Ucapan ‘kalau’ tidak harus diamalkan kerana ia seolah-olah menunjukkan bahawa kita tidak redha dengan apa yang telah berlaku. Sebaliknya kita hendaklah sentiasa berfikiran positif dan ingat bahawa segala yang baik itu datangnya daripada Allah dan yang buruk itu adalah daripada kelemahan diri kita sendiri. Oleh sebab itu Islam menyuruh umatnya agar bertawakkal (berserah) kepada Allah SWT dalam melakukan sesuatu usaha dan percaya bahawa setiap sesuatu itu tidak akan berlaku tanpa keizinan daripada-Nya jua.
*'If' is a usual word coming out from my big mouth..but still,I do know that we with reference to the hadith above are discouraged (I'm not sure if this is the right word to feflect its meaning) to say it that way.Instead,we are encouraged to leave it all to Allah,The Almighty as nothing will happen without His Permission=)

Be Careful!!
Got an email regarding this picture.The email went like this:
DI HANTAR OLEH SEORANG TEMAN YG BEKERJA DI KUALA LUMPUR ... Semalam semasa melalui sebuah lorong di Jalan Tun Abd.Rahman. saya didatangi seoarang melayu yg memakai pakaian yg sungguh bersih... rambut yang tersisir rapi... membela sedikit janggut dan bertali leher. Dia memberi salam dan bertanya adakah saya sibuk ketika itu.. tetapi saya amat sibuk,jadi meminta izin utk berlalu dgn segera tetapi sebelum saya pergi dia memberi saya satu bungkusan yg dibalut envelop bersaiz A4.. sebelum itu dia berkata.. "teruskan jihad" .saya tersenyum sambil berkata perlahan.. Allahuakbar. apabila saya sampai di pejabat, saya membuka bungkusan itu dgn perasaan seronok mungkin didalam itu ada buku yg menyeru umat manusia untuk berjihad.. tetapi alangkah terkejutnya saya ia adalah sebuah kitab 'Bible' di dalam versi Arab dan CD DVD yg berkisar tentang kehidupan Nabi Isa.. Jadi saya menyeru kepada pihak orang ramai supaya berhati-hati apabila bertemu dengan mereka ini..lebih menyedihkan lagi mereka ini adalah orang melayu yang bertopengkan syaitan untuk terus menyesatkan umat Islam di negara kita... bangkitlah saudara-saudaraku sayangilah masyarakat kita dan anak cucu kita nanti, takkan kita hendak menunggu pihak kerajaan mengambil tindakan sedangkan sementara itu berapa ramai anak muda dan gadis-gadis melayu kita yg berjaya dimurtadkan.. teruskan usha dakwah kita untuk menyampaikan Islam.. kerana pihak Kristian ni tidak akan putus-putus...untuk memurtadkan umat Islam.
Felt very sad as there's malay out there double-cross us using the word jihad to get our attention.So,from now on let's be more careful and not letting ourselves being one of this kind of man's victim..Allahuakbar

Open Letter From A Christian Woman To Muslimah
March 7th, 2007
By Joanna Francis
Writer, Journalist – USA
Between the Israeli assault on Lebanon and the Zionist "war on terror," the Muslim world is now center stage in every American home. I see the carnage, death and destruction that have befallen Lebanon, but I also see something else: I see you. I can't help but notice that almost every woman I see is carrying a baby or has children around her. I see that though they are dressed modestly, their beauty still shines through. But it's not just outer beauty that I notice. I also notice that I feel something strange inside me: I feel envy. I feel terrible for the horrible experiences and war crimes that the Lebanese people have suffered, being targeted by our common enemy. But I can't help but admire your strength, your beauty, your modesty, and most of all, your happiness.
Yes, it's strange, but it occurred to me that even under constant bombardment, you still seemed happier than we are, because you were still living the natural lives of women. The way women have always lived since the beginning of time. It used to be that way in the West until the 1960s, when we were bombarded by the same enemy. Only we were not bombarded with actual munitions, but with subtle trickery and moral corruption.
Through Temptation
They bombarded us Americans from Hollywood, instead of from fighter jets or with our own American-made tanks. They would like to bomb you in this way too, after they've finished bombing the infrastructure of your countries. I do not want this to happen to you. You will feel degraded, just like we do. You can avoid this kind of bombing if you will kindly listen to those of us who have already suffered serious casualties from their evil influence. Because everything you see coming out of Hollywood is a pack of lies, a distortion of reality, smoke and mirrors. They present casual sex as harmless recreation because they aim to destroy the moral fabric of the societies into which they beam their poisonous programming. I beg you not to drink their poison. There is no antidote for it once you have consumed it. You may recover partially, but you will never be the same. Better to avoid the poison altogether than totry to heal from the damage it causes.
They will try to tempt you with their titillating movies and music videos, falsely portraying us American women as happy and satisfied, proud of dressing like prostitutes, and content without families. Most of us are not happy, trust me. Millionsof us are on anti-depressant medication, hate our jobs, and cry at night over the men who told us they loved us, then greedily used us and walked away. They would like to destroy your families and convince you to have fewer children. They do this by presenting marriage as a form of slavery, motherhood as a curse, and being modest and pure as old-fashioned. They want you to cheapen yourself and lose your faith. They are like the Serpent tempting Eve with the apple. Don't bite.
Self-Value
I see you as precious gems, pure gold, or the "pearl of great value" spoken of in the Bible (Matthew 13: 45). All women are pearls of great value, but some of us have been deceived into doubting the value of our purity. Jesus said: "Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample themunder their feet, and turn again and rend you" (Matthew 7: 6). Our pearls are priceless, but they convince us that they're cheap. But trust me; there is no substitutefor being able to look in the mirror and seeing purity, innocence and self-respect staring back at you.
The fashions coming out of the Western sewer are designed to make you believe that your most valuable asset is your sexuality. But your beautiful dresses and veils are actually sexier than any Western fashion, because they cloak you in mystery and showself-respect and confidence. A woman's sexuality should be guarded from unworthy eyes, since it should be your gift to the man who loves and respects you enough to marry you. And since your men are still manly warriors, they deserve no less than your best. Our men don't even want purity anymore. They don't recognize the pearl of great value, opting for the flashy rhinestone instead. Only to leave her too!
Your most valuable assets are your inner beauty, your innocence, and everything that makes you who you are. But I notice that some Muslim women push the limit and try to be as Western as possible, even while wearing a veil (with some of their hair showing). Why imitate women who already regret, or will soon regret, their lost virtue? There is no compensation for that loss. You are flawless diamonds. Don't let them trick you into becoming rhinestones. Because everything you see in the fashion magazines and on Western television is a lie. It is Satan's trap. It is fool's gold.
A Woman's Heart
I'll let you in on a little secret, just in case you're curious: pre-marital sex is not even that great. We gave our bodies to the men we were in love with, believing that that was the way to make them love us and want to marry us, just as we had seen on television growing up. But without the security of marriage and the sure knowledge that he will always stay with us, it's not even enjoyable! That's the irony. It was just a waste. It leaves you in tears.
Speaking as one woman to another, I believe that you understand that already. Because only a woman can truly understand what's in another woman's heart. Wereally are all alike. Our race, religion or nationalities do not matter. A woman's heart is the same everywhere. We love. That's what we do best. We nurture our families and give comfort and strength to the men we love. But we American women have been fooled into believing that we are happiest having careers, our own homes in which to live alone, and freedom to give our love away to whomever we choose. That is not freedom. And that is not love.
Only in the safe haven of marriage can a woman's body and heart be safe to love. Don't settle for anything less. It's not worth it. You won't even like it and you'll like yourself even less afterwards. Then he'll leave you.
Self-Denial
Sin never pays.It always cheats you. Even though I have reclaimed my honor, there's still no substitute for having never been dishonored in the first place. WeWestern women have been brainwashed into thinking that you Muslim women are oppressed. But truly, we are the ones who are oppressed; slaves to fashions that degrade us, obsessed with our weight, begging for love from men who do not want to grow up. Deep down inside, we know that we have been cheated.We secretly admire and envy you, although some of us will not admit it. Please do not look down on us or think that we like things the way they are. It's not our fault. Most of us did not have fathers to protect us when we were young because our families have been destroyed. You know who is behind this plot.
Don't be fooled, my sisters. Don't let them get you too. Stay innocent and pure. We Christian women need to see what life is really supposed to be like for women. We need you to set the example for us, because we are lost. Hold onto your purity. Remember: you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. So guard your "toothpaste" carefully!
I hope you receive this advice in the spirit in which it is intended: the spirit of friendship, respect, and admiration. From your Christian sister with love.

Dia Melihat Usaha,Hasil Itu Kemudian..
Salam...
Last Saturday(10 Jan. 2009),I’ve been to Rapat Umum Selamatkan Gaza in Stadium Melawati,Shah Alam.Even though I was kind of exhausted due to some shopping in Dataran Pahlawan the previous day,I was excited and in full spirit to be there.
Last Saturday(10 Jan. 2009),I’ve been to Rapat Umum Selamatkan Gaza in Stadium Melawati,Shah Alam.Even though I was kind of exhausted due to some shopping in Dataran Pahlawan the previous day,I was excited and in full spirit to be there.
My spirit kind of soar up when kak Nabihah played quite a list of inspired nasyeed in her car’s cd player.I can’t wait to be there to tell the Palestinians that I supported them,that I wanted them to hang in there that they are the chosen ones..
I came there under ISMA(Melaka) which stands for Ikatan Muslimin Malaysia,with each of our nuqaba’ wore their vest mentioning that they were ISMA’s,their position as naqib and naqibah.We drove along from Petronas station in Seremban straight to Stadium Melawati,Shah Alam..
My heart throbbing excitedly as there were many vehicles at the parking lot meaning that they were a lot of people out there still concerned about this issue irrespective of whether they were Muslims or not.
We(Azra,kak Ima,my naqibah kak Affizah and kak Nabihah)were sitting on the floor as to taking the challenge from some volunteer I believed whom said ‘siapa yang muda2 lagi tuh tolong duduk kat bawah’..I managed to be the one who sat at the very first row=)..alhamdulillah
The ceremony started as we were told at 10 am and these were the speaker of the day:
1. Dr. Mujahid Yusof Rawa,PAS
2. Sdr Yusri,ABIM
3. Sdr Abdullah Zaik,ISMA
4. Sdr Mustafa Kamil Ayub,PKR
5. Ahli Parlimen Pangkor,BN
6. Wakil Aman Palestin dan ramai lagi
KHAIBAR2,KHAIBAR YA YAHUD..JAISYU MUHAMMAD SAUFA YA’UD..this were the words that we used to shout at the top of our lungs during this RAPAT UMUM..
Yup,tentera Muhammad pasti akan datang untuk menumpaskan rejim Zionis yang bermaharajalela di bumi Palestin..the time will come,just wait and see!let’s pray that we’ll be one of Prophet’s(pbuh) army..
I kind of agree with Sdr Yusri,ABIM’s president when he stated that this RAPAT UMUM wasn’t a place to throw out our anger towards Zionis but as our prayer to Allah to save Gaza from their hands..a very meaningful statement to ponder..
And alhamdulillah,about 10000 people were attending the RAPAT UMUM..way to go to Muadz and Algebra for their inspiring performance especially the song ‘Amrullah sang by Muadz..it is actually a hadith from Riwayat Ahmad..and the atmosphere suddenly went silent as Imam Besar Masjid Shah Alam was reciting the prayer as his manly voice kind of having sorethroat as he was weeping during the prayer..tears rolled down like there were raining cats and dogs..
This are the lyrics for the song of ‘Amrullah(salah satu Hadis 40):
Maksud hadis: Akan sentiasa ada wujud sekumpulan dari umatku yang terus menegakkan kebenaran dan tegas mendepani musuh. Tidak memudaratkan perjuangan mereka walau dipinggirkan dan dirintangi kesusahan kecuali ujian (Ilahi) sehinggalah datang ketentuan Allah. Mereka akan tetap sedemikian. Sahabat bertanya “Di mana mereka itu?” Baginda menjawab “Mereka berada di Baitul Maqdis dan di kawasan sekitarnya”

Bukan Itu Tujuan (2)
Bismillah...
Subhanallah,ya Allah..this world of Yours is so attractive that I can’t hardly take my eyes off it.Soo many distractions,but I am only a weak little soul desperately in need for your hidayah=(.But,this aayah keeps knocking in my little head,mine having all combinations of Quotient (EQ+SQ+IQ+PQ) only a range of a teaspoon=(
‘Tidak Aku bebankan seseorang itu melainkan sesuai dengan kesanggupannya’(often reciting them in Al-Ma’thurat)
Meaning that each of us is actually mampu but we are very fond of making lame excuses,blaming others and so on,the fact is we are the one with little amount of effort to handle this matter.
In the quest of struggling to be a good servant of Him,there’s so many distractions needed to be discarded.Abul-Hassan Attustary said in Al-Hikam (terjemahan version),
‘Di dalam jalan menuju kepada Allah jangan menoleh kepada yang lain,dan pergunakan selalu zikir kepada Allah,itu sebagai benteng pertahananmu.Sebab segala sesuatu selain Allah,akan menghambat perjalananmu’
Syeikh Ibn Atho’illah (scholars of Islam whom wrote Al-Hikam) said,
‘Tiada berkehendak semangat seorang soleh (yang berjalan menuju kepada Allah) untuk berhenti ketika terbuka baginya sebahagian yang ghaib,melainkan segera diperingatkan oleh suara hakikat.Bukan itu tujuan,dan teruslah berjalan ke depan.Demikian pula tiada kelihatan baginya keindahan alam,melainkan diperingatkan oleh hakikatnya-Bahawa kami semata-mata sebagai ujian,maka janganlah tertipu hingga menjadi kafir’
Martabat soleh itu tampak terlalu gah untuk diri,kerana iman persis kulit bawang bahkan lebih nipis lagi=(.Mari semua,dunia bukanlah tujuan kita.Bukan itu tujuan hidup kita sebab Allah s.w.t telah berfirman,
‘Tidak Aku jadikan jin dan manusia itu melainkan untuk beribadat kepada-Ku’
Sempena meraikan 1 Muharram 1430 Hijriah,marilah kita bersama2 memperbaiki diri agar bertambah iman dan taqwa kita yang tak seberapa ini=(.Shall we?=)

Bukan Itu Tujuan (1)
Bismillah..
Alhamdulillah,today is a very bright day plus a better day indeed as it seems to be much better than the day before(as for myself and I hope others too=D).May Allah bless us as we pursue our life,insya-Allah=)
From the words of our beloved prophet(pbuh):
“Celakalah orang yang hari ini lebih buruk dari hari semalamnya,hari esok lebih buruk dari hari sebelumnya”
I used to scold myself like this, ‘celakanya aku’ each time I feel my day has becoming more and more terrible and horrible.And Asma’ usually will advise me regarding this and one day I told her about this hadith,so I memang celaka when my days are no better than before with reference to this hadith=(.And Asma’ tersenyum..
As the day pass by,I learnt that many of my beloved friends suffered a broken heart.I am very aware of this as they are my most precious friends.To be honest,I do feel being in love is an experience that everybody want to,and long ago I felt that to marry someone that you love is the happiness which everyone’s looking for.
But,after more than 2 decades being His servant but still x ade changes pada status quo,I realize that sesungguhnya solatku,ibadahku,hidupku dan matiku hanya untuk-Mu,ya Allah.The true happiness is being in Allah’s love,devotion of our life only to Allah The Almighty.These are the words that we as Muslims used to recite during performing our prayer 5 times a day (Iftitah prayer).If all of us really understand what meaning this prayer brought,we will at this instance asking His Forgiveness for not being an obedient servant yet He still gives us a healthy body and wealthy life.
At the time I read ‘Ketika Cinta Bertasbih’ written by Habiburrahman El Shirazy,I felt that I was really amazed by the way the writer preached about Islam as he explained a bit about certain feqah method in his book yet it is easy to understand his explanation,thanks to his simple+understandable writing.In this book also I learnt about the existence of Al-Hikam,a book written by scholars of Islam from Iskandaria,Syeikh Ibn Atho’illah.
This scholars said,which motivates me a lot ‘cinta sejati itu menyembuhkan tidak menyakitkan’.That is only the gist extracted.He said‘ tidak ada yang dapat mengusir syahwat atau kecintaan pada kesenangan duniawi selain rasa takut kepada Allah yang menggetarkan hati atau rasa rindu kepada Allah yang membuat hati merana!’
From my understanding,anyone who has fallen in love,most of them will feel that.This means when there’s is an affection,nafs(syahwat) will come in handy.Astaghfirullah..And he said that this feeling can’t be discarded or thrown out from your heart unless you possess two things,first rasa cinta kepada Allah yang very extraordinary which makes your heart throbbing till that only He conquers your heart,no one can take His place and only then other distractions will on its own be discarded.Second,rasa rindu kepada Allah yang amat dahsyat till your heart suffered kerana rasa rindu.Logically,bila kita rindu sgt2 kepada Dia sampai merana,kita takkan mungkin rindu pada selain Dia sebab kita terlalu busy rindukan Dia sampai tak ada masa nak rindu yang lain..
But as we are His servant akhir zaman,having no faith at par with umat terdahulu we are having an illness called miskin cinta Allah,as a result we are being invaded by other illnesses,kaya cinta and rindu pada yang lain,yang belum halal untuk kita ingati plus unqualified to be loved for the time being.
Sahabat,love is not everything but the fact is when we lost our love it is like we lost everything in this world.Betapa sakitnya hati,jiwa and all of the sort.Tapi sahabat,bear in mind that mencintai makhluk memungkinkan kita untuk kehilangannya and when you have them,there is a risk of bidding farewell to them,that is only if you have the chance to bid=).Hanya cinta kepada Allah saja yang tidak.
When you have made confession to someone whom you love there’s a possibility either to be rejected or the other way around.But,when it comes to Allah there’s no such thing like being rejected.It is more worthwhile to be in love with Him rather than being in love with someone whom you yourself doesn’t even know if He is your Mr. Right in the future.Cinta Allahlah yang paling membahagiakan dan menyembuhkan kerana tiada sesiapa yang boleh merampas dan merebutnya.Tidak salah untuk memiliki rasa cinta but then the way we reflect it is always not on the right track.Sahabat,pencinta sejati ialah mereka yang mencintai kerana Allah dan Rasul-Nya,yang mendidik diri untuk bermujahadah in dealing with this matter,yang mengekang sedaya-upaya agar syariat-Nya terjaga.Memang payah,senang cakap and so on tapi when there’s a will there’s a way.Islam tidak pernah memaksa when it comes to beragama(not forcing non-Muslims to convert to Islam) but once you are a Muslim,you must by hook or by crook obey the rules and regulations of Islam.
Dear friends,and buat diriku jua,carilah cinta yang lebih baik dan suci berbanding cinta makhluk-Nya yang not permanent,temperory and not long-lasting.Carilah Dia yang Maha Pengasih lagi Maha Penyayang yang always by your side through thick and thin.Dialah Pemberi Kekuatan,pohonlah kepada-Nya kekuatan untuk terus berjihad menjadi seorang Muslim yang much better from before.Bangunlah di tengah malam memohon kekuatan jiwa by performing Tahajjud prayer and solat sunat yang lain.Juga,beristikharahlah dalam apa jua urusan kerana ia digalakkan oleh junjungan besar(s.a.w).
Sahabat(buat diriku jua),memang kita kena berusaha untuk mengubah nasib kita.Jodoh itu di tgn-Nya.Have faith in Him dear fren.Buat muslimah serta diriku y lemah ini,mari kita berusaha menjadi muslimah yang solehah kerana perempuan2 yang baik itu untuk lelaki2 yang baik (An-Nur:26).Yakinlah pada ayat2-Nya.Cintailah Allah dahulu kerana selepas itu barulah kamu berupaya untuk mencintai makhluk-Nya seiring dengan syariat-Nya.Janji-Nya tidak pernah menghampakan,yakinlah!

Life in MICET..
Salam=)
Upon Syazana’s request(one of my best friend),I will be talking about my newly-registered university.
Made up my mind on pursuing in Chem Eng,I’m now a MICET’s graduate which is one of MARA’s subsidiary,universities.MICET stands for Malaysian Institute of Chemical and Bioengineering Technology,located about 20 km from Malacca(more or less).It is actually nearer to Tampin though situated in Malacca.
When I first came here,we were sort of into sight-seeing as we got stonewalled,got confused as too many informants yet to no avail.Too many cooks spoil the broth=( but at the very least they were willing to help,thanks=).Then,I called unikl headquarters asking them for MICET.After less than an hour out of our mind searching =D,we arrive there safe and sound.
Having through the registration procedures,I worked my way to the hostel on feet.Exercising in the early 9 am.My newly classmates greeted my mother on the path beside A block showing us where to get the key for my room.I thanked them profusely even though I wasn’t really showing how much I really appreciate their help=P,taken aback of how nice of them to us I mean to a complete new student kind of lost in her first day of registration=).Alhamdulillah..
Almost forgot,I made a new friend,Anis Zafirah during registration.So friendly which made me amazed,really.Plus so nice,=D.Happen to be my roommates.Very talkative,kind of extrovert I guess which total up to 2 things similar with me=p.Alhamdulillah,we get along very well till now and I hope it will last forever,amiin.
At first,there are 6 girls and 8 boys with 8 of them were FAT(foundation) students plus 3 KMS and 3 KMB.Anis and I used to regard ourselves as ex-cream of the cream as we failed to go abroad this January or February 2009=(..nevertheless,what goes around comes around..we learn to appreciate things and strive harder ,be stronger so that this second chances won’t slip away(have to get 50% of an overall average in the first sitting in unikl),otherwise our names will slip down from MARA’s list of sending-student-overseas.

At the beginning,lectures were almost zero in number as lecturers got a lot of things to attend to which make us really scared even not to death=D,as other friends of mine in BMI and IPROM have already started their lessons.As a matter of fact,we are kind of relax gak about classes,really in excited state when lectures being cancelled,got pretty sad if there is a class or extra classes at night compensating the one being cancelled earlier.Yeah,I admit that I become lazy+slow+sleepy at night sometimes but I need to push myself,having the thought of failing to pass with flying colours hits me like being in an aeroplane crashed thousands feet off the ground.My heart did a somersault,as the thought struck in me.I keep on telling myself,whatever happen,I will make it.Not to forget,have to let Him takes care of the rest after all the effort done=)
Sitting at the very front chairs,there won’t be any shielding effect as I have the feeling of absorbing all the valuable words,terms and so on from the very mouth of our lecturers.Very often,laughter grown up in me as the lecturers are soo funny yet lovely and wonderful especially our Phys Chem’s lecturer-Dr. Zainab.Her motherly face plus her naughty yet expressive funny gestures always click open some parts inside me which is the easily tickled+moved+touched part..I usually ending up in her class being some kind of vibrator,both shoulders shaking uncontrollable as I restrain myself not to let the laughters bursting out,not to mention others too..The funniest part is she asked me one day why am I soo happy today(during her lectures)?Some voice inside me blurted out-you brightens my day Dr.Really=)My classmates are very full of humour and we are always laughing,every minutes I think.Very happy and full of laughter=)Alhamdulillah..
Our classmates now are 21 in number.Plus Ija,Illiyyin and GMI’s guys which are Zarul,Ashraf,Fakhri,Ainul and Farid.Ija and Illiyyin are now my roommates besides Anis.We get along very well so far=).Alhamdulillah..So,here we are 21 students struggle very hard to get to Sheffield after failing the first attempt.Owh,Farid is a 15-point holder yet he wants to pursue here as they said he isn’t confident of going to German,the language and all of the sort.At the very least we can ask him for help or reference besides lecturers regarding our subjects=)
Last but not least,I hope we will make it and won’t disappoint MARA again and our parents plus our lecturers too.For the sake of Islam,I need to succeed this time!Insya-Allah,we’ll be working very hard on making this a reality=)
