The changes we need

Since small
I have been taught
about DOs and DONTs

By time
I know more about islam
and understand better
now
some of the DOs and DONTs
have to be changed
to suit my understanding

It is really hard
to turn DOs to be DONTs
and DONTs to be DOs

Al-Baqarah, 2: 143
Meaning
And thus we have made you a just community that you will be witnesses over the people and the Messenger will be a witness over you. And We did not make the qiblah which you used to face except that We might make evident who would follow the Messenger from who would turn back on his heels. And indeed, it is difficult except for those whom Allah has guided. And never would Allah have caused you to lose your faith. Indeed Allah is, to the people, Kind and Merciful.

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
... and We did not appoint, make, the direction, for you now, the direction, you were facing, that is the Ka‘ba: the Prophet (s) used to face it in prayer, but when he emigrated he was commanded to face the Holy House [of Jerusalem], in order to win the hearts of the Jews. He prayed in this direction for sixteen or seventeen months before he changed direction; except that We might know, [that it become] manifest knowledge, who followed the Messenger, and believed in him, from him who turned on his heels, and returned to unbelief doubting the religion and thinking that the Prophet (s) was confused about this issue; and a number of them apostatised as a result of this— though it, the change of direction, were (wa-in, ‘though’, is softened, and its noun apocopated, originally being: wa-innahā) a grave thing, troublesome for people, save for those, of them, whom God has guided; but God would never cause your faith, that is, your prayers towards the Holy House [of Jerusalem], to be wasted, but He will reward you for them (the reason that this [verse] was revealed was that some had asked about the status of those that had died before the change of direction [of prayer]); truly, God is Gentle with, believing, people, Merciful, when He does not let their deeds go to waste (al-ra’fa means ‘intensity of mercy’, and is mentioned first to allow for the end rhyme of the verse [with the preceding one]).

Al-Baqarah, 2: 216
Meaning
Fighting has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not.

So strong!

She came last night
to lead the sitting we had planned
with a pale face
headache
hungry
tired

But still
she lead the sitting like always
full with knowledge, sharing
love, smile and laughter
for hours

Once the sitting ends
she had to drive
to go home

She was so strong!
May Allah reward you with jannah.. ameen.

Did I love you?

I recite salawat 
when performing prayer
and making dua
and no more

I recite salawat
without love
even though I should love you the most
more than anyone else

I recite salawat
without realizing that I owe you so much
to have islam today

I recite salawat 
without really knowing who are you
even though you have the first priority 
to be known by me

Not knowing who are you
I can't love you as much as I should
I can't appreciate you as much as you deserve

To know, love, and appreciate you as I should
not enough to only know your history
but I need to follow your sunnah as well 
and the biggest sunnah of yours
is DA'AWAH!

p/s: 12 rabiul awwal will come again on 26 Feb this year. Lets top up our love to our prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wassalam.

The end

Saturday, 30th January 2010, 12.30 pm..
I was with Atiqah, stood up near to BSN atm in Sunway Pyramid withdrawing money.
We were going to do shopping!
I was so happy and excited, because I have suffered for a week due to lack of stuff at home. Plus, hanging out with friend is just something that I love to do.
Then I just felt like to check my phone.. O, I've got two new text messages.
One from Auni. Another from Suekecik.
Same information.
"Acapkali dh xde.alfatihah"
I was shock. Atiqah too.

*************
He was not a friend that close to me.
I even can't be sure whether or not we have talked to each other.
But still the message was enough to get rid the mood to shop.
It is just unbelievable. 
He died at a very young age. And he even 1 year younger than me.
But that is the fact.
Allah just used an extremely small organism, a bacterium, to be the reason of his death. He was infected by a spirochaete bacterium called leptospira spp. that destroyed his body and finally killed him in just about a week.
Allahuakbar!

They said young people are strong.
They said humankind are the greatest creation.
But indeed, we are so weak in front of our god, Allah.
We can't go against Allah's will.
We can't resist our fate. 
We can't escape from death.

*************
The breath that I still have now, I never know when it will stop.
What I know is that Allah still give me time.
Time to choose between two ways of life.
One is headed to the heaven and another one to the hell
And Allah have described about both ways
clear and complete
in Al-Quran and As-Sunnah

The breath that I still have now, I never know when it will stop.
What I know is that it will be at anytime.
Thus, I should not waste anymore time
So that I won't regret it later
When Allah show me the record of my deeds
