Muflis di Akhirat

عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْمُفْلِسُ قَالُوا الْمُفْلِسُ فِينَا مَنْ لَا دِرْهَمَ لَهُ وَلَا مَتَاعَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُفْلِسَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِصَلَاةٍ وَصِيَامٍ وَزَكَاةٍ وَيَأْتِي قَدْ شَتَمَ هَذَا وَقَذَفَ هَذَا وَأَكَلَ مَالَ هَذَا وَسَفَكَ دَمَ هَذَا وَضَرَبَ هَذَا فَيُعْطَى هَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَهَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ فَإِنْ فَنِيَتْ حَسَنَاتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْضَى مَا عَلَيْهِ 

(أُخِذَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُمْ فَطُرِحَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ طُرِحَ فِي النَّارِ. (مسلم والترمذي

Dari Abu Hurairah r.a., bahawa Nabi s.a.w., bersabda: "Tahukah kamu siapakah dia orang Muflis? " Sahabat-sahabat Baginda menjawab:  "Orang Muflis di antara kami, ya Rasulullah ialah orang yang tidak ada wang ringgit dan tidak ada harta benda;" Nabi s.a.w., bersabda: "Sebenarnya orang Muflis dari kalangan umatku ialah orang yang datang pada hari qiamat membawa sembahyang, puasa dan zakat,  sedang datangnya itu dengan kesalahan memaki hamun orang ini dan menuduh orang itu memakan harta orang ini, menumpah darah orang itu, dan juga memukul orang; maka akan diambil dari amal kebajikannya serta diberi kepada orang ini dan orang itu; kemudian kiranya habis amal kebajikannya sebelum habis dibayar kesalahan-kesalahan yang ditanggungnya, akan diambil pula dari kesalahan-kesalahan orang yang dianiayakan serta ditimpakan ke atasnya, kemudian ia dihumbankan ke dalam Neraka.

Of indelible ink or biometric system?

MM: What has hindered the EC from implementing cleaning the electoral roll, reforming postal balloting, use of indelible ink, and minimum 21 days campaigning period?


EC Deputy Chairman:  .... With regards to indelible ink, it is used among countries which have no identification system, such as Africa and India. They have not reached our level yet. We only have 12 million voters. Why should we turn our system backwards when we have reached this level of technological advancement? The reason there is a push for the use of indelible ink is due to fear of double-voting, but we have an adequate system to handle voter identification and it is nearly impossible for people to register twice ....


Full Q&A

Reading this part of the Q&A made me recall an urban legend closely related to the above situation.

At the height of the space race, the Americans and Soviets approached the same problem: how an astronaut (or cosmonaut) could use a pen to write in zero gravity.
As the story goes, the Americans spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on an ambitious, gravity-immune ballpoint pen; they successfully developed such a pen; and this pen went on to become a massive commercial success in the private sector. The Soviets - with the simple elegance their scientists are so rightly famed for - opted instead to use a pencil.

Ulu Gombak traverse (2011 version)

From Ulu Gombak traverse 22/5/11

Me, Jazlan and Johan had a ride in RRI apparently Ulu Gombak traverse popped-up.  Me & Jazlan wanted to pay a tribute to Kelolo since he rode with us (me, Jazlan and Megat Faiz) in 2008 but had to turned back since we can't get thru those bamboo bushes.  Subsequent ride on 20/4/2008 with Joe Adnan managed to complete the loop via new track (no write-up, just photos).

I had another ride here on 21/6/2008 upon request from fellow friends, in much larger group (at least 10 of us).

This time around, here's my short write-up..

Trailhead that was on rubber plantation (in 2008) was no longer there.  Good reception GPS receiver with spare batteries and this tracklog is a must-have for this trail.  (good reception mobile phone may not works in heavy canopy forest).

Caution from Joe Adnan:

If you plan to ride this trail, please be careful and sensible. It’s a jungle out there. (Heh.) Seriously, the jungle goes all the way to Pahang to the North-East and Negri Sembilan in the South. If you lose your bearings, follow the river downstream*, and it should lead you to the confluence of the Sleh and Klang rivers and thereafter the Klang Gates lake itself.
My recommendation is as follows: Use one of the newer Garmin GPS receivers with an “x” at the end of its name. Print the directions below. Get the recommended map. Use a compass. Keep a look out for the tape.

For safety reason, please inform nearest Police station that your riding this route and your expected time to complete. You are require to acknowledge them once you completed, else they may send a rescue team.

Ulu Gombak Traverse 22 May 2011 at EveryTrail

The Story by Jazlan Yatim (source: http://www.everytrail.com/view_trip.php?trip_id=1106074):The ride was made by Dino, Riza, Johan, Nabil & Jazlan out of sheer enthusiasm for nature and mountain biking... and ignorance towards how itchy leech bites can give you for a week or two.
Departed at 8.00am from Masjid Sg Pusu, reached Kemensah 2.30pm.

Sg Pusu > Kem Ketanga, the old trailhead has disappeared by some development work, managed to find it above a small hill to the right up. From there the trails are as good at it gets.

Kem Ketanga > Kem Ulu Sleh are still nice single tracks too.

Kem Ulu Sleh > Kem Sleh - hike bike and river crossings, Riza and Johan trekked their way to reach back to the existing trails, thanks dudes! Thought so before the ride that we'd need rescuing along the way... We missed passing by the old dam.

Kem Sleh > Kemensah, midway trails were rutted with water patches and by motorcross users.

I looked around for it, but only found 1 tree marker made by JoeAdnan in 2008, but it was already on the
ground.... My tracklogs here also include waypoints marked by JoeAdnan. Thanks JoeAdnan for the waypoint reference : http://joeadnan.blogspot.com/2008/07/ulu-gombak-traverse-revisited-again.html

Back on saddle

Been a while I spent a good MTB ride.  FRIM is good but lack of distance.  RRI is just nice for me, a little more distance (26km) and a roller coaster to enjoy not forgetting the fall I had during this ride (pix below).. and those other falls: -
1. First endo (2007)
2. Elbow punched my ribs (2008)
3. Scuffed my ankle (2010)

From RRI on BASH route

It was a nice ride, lead by Jazlany.  We already talking about doing the Ulu Gombak Traverse in near future.

Merokok itu hukumnya haram

Semalam, waktu menikmati makan malam, Haziq bertanya pada Ayah.
"Ayah. Ayah hisap rokok lagi ke?"

Ayah: "Tak. Ayah sudah berhenti. Merokok itu hukumnya haram"
Haziq: "Tapi.. Tok tu hisap rokok"

Ayah: "Tak kiralah siapapun yang hisap rokok, Ayah ke, Pak Lang ke, Pak Long ke, Ucu ke, Cikgu ke hukumnya tetap haram. Perbuatan haram kalau kita buat jadi berdosa"
Haziq: "Ohh"

Petikan dari Zaharuddin.net

Justeru, pada hemat dan kajian saya, hukum yang lebih tepat adalah Haram merokok kerana mudarat yang pelbagai dari sudut kesihatan tubuh sendiri, orang lain, dan baunya yang mengganggu orang lain. Malah kaedah Islam menyebut : "Ad-Darar Yudfa' Bi Qadaril Imkan" ; ertinya : "Kemudaratan hendaklah ditolak sedaya upaya dan kemampuan" (Al-Madkhal Al-Fiqhil ‘Am, Syeikh Mustafa Az-Zarqa, 2/992)

Car Audio that works for me

The original audio set that came with the car was with MP3 decoder.  It plays MP3 files on CD until one fine day, the CD stuck and refuse to come out.  I was longing for headunit that takes flash drive over USB but the price wasn't within my budget.  Alternatively, I looked for headunit that has Auxiliary input (this input takes typical 3.5mm audio jack) and I found 1 dirt cheap model by Sony.

Sony CDX-GT180 (see here) 

Cost me RM188 plus another RM20 for installation.  With this Auxiliary input, I can hook-up my phone and play MP3 files with the sound routed to the car audio system.  Shall voice call comes in, I can answer the phone and talk normally, handsfree!  Once the voice call ends, the MP3 will resume.  Even GPS navigation from Nokia E63 (with external Bluetooth GPS receiver) can be heard loud and clear.

Blackberry anyone?

I never imagine myself as a BlackBerry user. Never crossed my mind to own it (especially with my own money).  It was for a reason which I strongly believed that without that 'integration server', the BlackBerry won't be a 'smart' after all. I didn't even bother to dig further on it's capabilities over other smartphone until some of us in the company was issued with BlackBerry Curve 3G (BB 9300).

Before I'm getting my review on this phone, let's see my perspective of some brand: -
1. Nokia (series 60, Symbian OS. Particularly E63 and C5-00)
- Can install Garmin Mobile XT which has an extensive and regularly updated map (C5-00 with integrated GPS receiver, not in E63).
- Abundant freeware, namely SportTracker, a very useful sport tracking software making use of GPS.
- Widely use thus, borrowing a charger at someone's else office is a non-issue.
- No driver required for ready to use 'thumb drive', just don't forget the data cable.
- C5-00 has charging capabilities over USB port, E63 not supported.
- Geotagging camera (C5-00)

2. Sony Ericsson (K800i, W810i)
- PC remote control over bluetooth. And this is native software. Picture this.. long before Steve Jobs flipping a powerpoint presentation with his iPhone, Sony Ericsson did it already.
- Awesome camera quality (K800i).
- Plactic battery? Lithium Polymer battery was used in Sony Ericsson since I owned R520m in 2002.
- R520m has proximity switch which turn off the speakerphone once you took the phone close to your ear.  The switch also 'snooze' the alarm when you wave your hand over it. A practical feature that I can't find in other phone to date.
- Charging capabilities over data cable (USB).

3. HTC/Dopod O2 (Specifically O2 Mini)
- Touchscreen, I like handwriting (graffiti) input most.
- Larger screen than candy form phone.
- Won't receive voice call if you are tethering putting an end to this phone.

4. BlackBerry Curve 3G
- High accuracy GPS receiver (up to 2m! Nokia C5-00's best is at 5m).
- Consolidated messages in single view (Tweeter, BBM, email, RSS, Facebook notification, Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger, MSN and many more).
- Optical trackpad reduces thumb fatigue compares to Nokia E63 & C5-00.
- QWERTY input.
- Seamless sync for Contacts and Calendar on Google (I like this most. Slightly harder to make it work on Nokia E63).
- Geotagging camera (requires some tweak to make it tag on the right place).
- Tracking my exercise using GPS receiver.
Downside
- Won't receive voice call and even SMS if you are tethering and in the middle on downloading big file.
- Must subscribe BIS or BES in order make full use of it else it's just a merely oversize phone that do voice call and SMS (other non-network related application may work except GPS).  Be extra careful on data subscription, some charge high rate after you exceed the limit, while other just throttle you down.

- Hooking up standard 3.5mm headphone won't let you answer the phone using the speaker phone. The caller's voice not routed to the headphone (Nokia C5-00 and E63 work this way, thus coupling with car stereo that accept auxiliary input is a bless, later post on this matter).

GPS enabled sport tracking freeware, yet to be tested.

Previously I use this freeware for sport tracking

Conclusion
While the features is not unique (i.e. only BlackBerry can do this), at the price I'm getting it (i.e. company's phone) I like it for what it can do for me.  I subscribed to tweeter for traffic updates, RSS on local and global news and some blog that I follow.  My final say for friends & family out there, ask yourself what you need from the phone, not what the phone can give you.

Should Muslim girls observe hijab from a young age?

An article excerpts from Parenthots.  


Hijab in short is cover the entire body except for the face and hands


Haza Zean had wrote it better definition of Purdah, Hijab, and Niqab here.


Associate Professor Dr Tuti Ningseh Mohd Dom said
1. One becomes accountable for one’s own actions upon reaching puberty thus would be preferable if she gets used to it way before she gets her first menses
2. Parents are the best people to provide this sort of guidance for their children
3. A Muslim is someone who willingly submits to Allah and obeys all His commandments
4. A girl should only do it for the sake of Allah. This is not possible if she has not learnt of His love and how to love Him.


A commentator Shammy said
1. And as a muslim, first and foremost, explicit ibadah as such must be followed without question.
2. Like any other good habits, hijab should be nurtured from a young age and also should be lead example by the adults in her life
3. Children are our amanah in this world, and as parents we are obligated to teach them Islam.

Thin blue line

Beberapa hari sebelum ceramah Ustaz Kazim Elias di Hulu Kelang.

Isteri: Tak dapat la saya nak pergi dengar ceramah Ustaz Kazim bulan ni.
Suami: Kenapa?

Isteri: Dah dekat waktu saya nak datang bulan ni.
Suami: Awak doa la dilambatkan sikit.

Beberapa hari selepas ceramah Ustaz Kazim Elias.
Isteri: Bang, alhamdulillah dapat dengar ceramah Ustaz Kazim hari tu. Tapi kan bang, lambat betul pulak dia datang bulan ni.
Suami: Ohh.. Awak doa itu hari 'mintak tangguh sekejap' ke 'mintak tangguh'?
Isteri: Saya tak ingat la. Bang, tolong belikan pregnancy test kit untuk saya.
Suami: InsyaAllah, esok balik kerja nanti saya belikan.

Jadinya, pregnancy test kit dah buat, urine test pun buat beberapa hari selepas tu.  Sah, mengandung anak ke-5.  Alhamdulillah.

Moral of the story: Doa biar clear :)

Sembilan Cara Mendapat Ketenangan

Dari ceramah Ustaz Kazim Elias bertajuk Nabi Ibrahim Berhujah Dengan Namrud


Sembilan Cara Mendapat Ketenangan: -
1. beriman
2. berserah bulat-bulat kepada Tuhannya (tawwakal)
3. menjauhi dosa-dosa besar dan menjauhi perbuatan-perbuatan yang keji
4. apabila mereka marah (disebabkan perbuatan yang tidak patut terhadap mereka), mereka memaafkannya
5. menyahut dan menyambut perintah Tuhannya
6. mendirikan sembahyang dengan sempurna
7. urusan mereka dijalankan secara bermesyuarat sesama mereka
8. mendermakan sebahagian dari apa yang Kami beri kepadanya
9. orang-orang yang apabila ditimpa sesuatu perbuatan secara zalim, mereka hanya bertindak membela diri

سُوۡرَةُ الشّوریٰ

فَمَآ أُوتِيتُم مِّن شَىۡءٍ۬ فَمَتَـٰعُ ٱلۡحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنۡيَا‌ۖ وَمَا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ خَيۡرٌ۬ وَأَبۡقَىٰ لِلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ وَعَلَىٰ رَبِّہِمۡ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ (٣٦)وَٱلَّذِينَ يَجۡتَنِبُونَ كَبَـٰٓٮِٕرَ ٱلۡإِثۡمِ وَٱلۡفَوَٲحِشَ وَإِذَا مَا غَضِبُواْ هُمۡ يَغۡفِرُونَ (٣٧) وَٱلَّذِينَ ٱسۡتَجَابُواْ لِرَبِّہِمۡ وَأَقَامُواْ ٱلصَّلَوٰةَ وَأَمۡرُهُمۡ شُورَىٰ بَيۡنَہُمۡ وَمِمَّا رَزَقۡنَـٰهُمۡ يُنفِقُونَ (٣٨) وَٱلَّذِينَ إِذَآ أَصَابَہُمُ ٱلۡبَغۡىُ هُمۡ يَنتَصِرُونَ (٣٩)

Ash-Shura

Oleh itu, apa jua yang diberikan kepada kamu, maka ia hanyalah nikmat kesenangan hidup di dunia ini sahaja dan (sebaliknya) apa yang ada di sisi Allah (dari pahala hari akhirat) adalah lebih baik dan lebih kekal bagi orang-orang yang beriman dan yang berserah bulat-bulat kepada Tuhannya; (36) Dan juga (lebih baik dan lebih kekal bagi) orang-orang yang menjauhi dosa-dosa besar serta perbuatan-perbuatan yang keji dan apabila mereka marah (disebabkan perbuatan yang tidak patut terhadap mereka), mereka memaafkannya. (37) Dan juga (lebih baik dan lebih kekal bagi) orang-orang yang menyahut dan menyambut perintah Tuhannya serta mendirikan sembahyang dengan sempurna dan urusan mereka dijalankan secara bermesyuarat sesama mereka dan mereka pula mendermakan sebahagian dari apa yang Kami beri kepadanya; (38)Dan juga (lebih baik dan lebih kekal bagi) orang-orang yang apabila ditimpa sesuatu perbuatan secara zalim, mereka hanya bertindak membela diri (sepadan dan tidak melampaui batas). (39)

Rugilah bang..

Qari waktu Forum Perdana di Al-Mustaqim AU5C, Hulu Kelang .
p.s: sekadar gambar hiasan.

Tersebutlah kisah seorang lelaki yang membuat tuntutan insuran atas windscreennya selepas digantikan oleh sebuah bengkel kereta di ibukota.

Lelaki A: Assalamualaikum.
Tuanpunya bengkel: Waalaikumusalam.

Lelaki A: Tuan, ini ada 2 resit windscreen yang tukar hari tu.  Satu RM1,200, yang satu lagi RM2,200.  Saya nak bagitahu, saya sertakan resit yang RM1,200 untuk tuntutan insuran, sepertimana jumlah sebenarnya kos penggantian windscreen saya tempohari.
Tuanpunya bengkel: Laa.. Rugilah abang. Abang insured RM2,000 abang claimlah pakai resit RM2,200 tu.  Nanti bila adjuster tengok, dia potong sikit, abang masih dapat dalam RM2,000.

Lelaki A: Takpa la tuan, biarlah saya 'rugi' didunia ni...

Al Fatihah

Al Fatihah untuk ibunda tercinta rakan sepejabat pada lewat petang semalam (23 Februari).

Artikel saya yang siap petang semalam (diposkan pagi ini kerana ingin menampalkan gambar yang disimpan di rumah) membicarakan tentang perkara kematian.  Sungguh kebetulan.

Di artikel ini, saya biarkan gambar menceritakan segalanya.  Rakan saya Faizullah berbaju melayu warna kundang (purple).

Moga roh Allahyarham dicucuri rahmat.

Andai ku tahu..

Destinasi seterusnya..

Andai ku tahu…. 
Kapan tiba ajalku… 
Ku akan memohon tuhan tolong panjangkan umurku…


Andai ku tahu… 
Kapan tiba masaku… 
Ku akan memohon tuhan jangan kau ambil nyawaku… 
Aku takut akan semua dosa dosaku… 
Aku takut dosa yg terus membayangiku…


Andai ku tahu… 
Malaikatmu kan menjemputku… 
Izinkan aku mengucap kata taubat padamu… 
Aku takut akan semua dosa dosaku… 
Aku takut dosa yg terus membayangiku…


Ampuni aku dari segala dosa dosaku… 
Ampuni aku menangis ku bertaubat padamu… 
Aku manusia yang takut neraka… 
Namun aku juga tak pantas disurga…


Andai ku tahu…. 
Kapan tiba ajalku… 
Izinkan aku mengucap kata taubat padamu… 
Aku takut akan semua dosa dosaku… 
Aku takut dosa yg terus membayangiku… 
Ampuni aku dari segala dosa dosaku… 
Ampuni aku menangis ku bertaubat padamu…
Artis: Ungu


Andai aku tahu esok ajalku,
adakah masih aku berfikir untuk berhibur?
adakah aku rasakan cukup dengan amalanku yang fardhu sahaja?
adakah semua amalanku yang fardhu itu diterima Allah?
adakah aku bebas daripada dakwaan anak-anak dan isteriku dari tanggungjawabku sebagai khalifah di muka bumi ini?
adakah aku bebas dari hutang-hutang yang belum aku jelaskan?
adakah aku bebas dari kata-kata yang menyakitkan saudara-saudaraku?
adakah aku telah melunaskan tanggungjawab aku kepada ibubapaku?
sudahkah aku bertaubat nasuha atas dosa-dosa besarku?

Terlalu banyak yang belum aku laksanakan kiranya ajal aku esok.
Bagaimana pula jika ajal aku beberapa minit lagi?

... peribadi Rasulullah S.A.W, yang tidak berangan-angan panjang. Baginda pernah bersabda, bahawa bila matanya terbuka, baginda tidak yakin apakah sempat baginda menutup matanya semula. Bila baginda menarik nafas, baginda tidak yakin apakah baginda akan dapat melepaskannya semula. selanjutnya

How I Came to Love the Veil - Yvonne Ridley

Politicians and journalists just love to write about the oppression of women in Islam ... without even talking to the females beneath the veil.
They simply have no idea how Muslim women are protected and respected within the Islamic framework which was built more than 1400 years ago.
Yet, by writing about cultural issues like child brides, female circumcision, honor killings and forced marriages they wrongly believe they are coming from a point of knowledge. more

British-born, award-winning journalist Yvonne Ridley is well known in the Muslim world for her outspoken views and defence of Islam. She endeared herself to the Muslim community in Britain when she reverted to Islam 30 months after making international headlines when she was captured by the Taleban on an undercover assignment in Afghanistan. more

Hari yang indah

Pagi ini, masuk satu email ke mailbox aku berkenaan hura-hara pada tahun 2012 dari Si A, rakan belajar di ITM.

Cuba kira... 1Ramadan  pada tahun 2012 jatuh pada 20 july hari jumaat,jadi 3 august 2012 bersamaan 15 ramadan jatuh juga hari jumaat.Sama dengan hadis nabi pasai huru hara besar yang akan jadi pada tengah malam   pertengahan bulan ramadan iaitu hari jumaat 15 ramadan
 dekat bumi ni yang akan mengejutkan semua orang yang sedang tidur, pasai satu suara yang amat dahsyat akan kita dengar dekat langit,bukan kiamat tapi huru hara tersebut akan melenyapkan umat manusia di atas muka bumi ini sebanyak 2/3,yang tinggal cuma 1/3 shj.(yang NASA Amerika dok bagitau pada 21-12-2012..... 

Kemudiannya.. Si B (yang juga rakan belajar di ITM) membalas email si A,

Assalamualaikum Tuan
Penjelasan mengenai Hadis tersebut
Ia di kategori kan sebagai Palsu.
(http://al-qayyim.net/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1086&Itemid=65)
Maaf jika terasa. Saya amat sayangkan kamu sebagaimana saya sayangkan diri saya.

Dan dibalas kembali oleh Si A,

OK...Terimakasih tuan. Lain kali sy akan lebih berhati2 sblm fwd msg yg diterima....;-)

Kesimpluannya
Aku akui betapa susahnya di zaman sekarang kita nak buka mula dan tegur saudara kita yang membuat silap. Tapi kalau kena caranya,..

"Maaf jika terasa. Saya amat sayangkan kamu sebagaimana saya sayangkan diri saya."

teguran disambut dengan penerimaan seikhlas hati...

"OK...Terimakasih tuan. Lain kali sy akan lebih berhati2 sblm fwd msg yg diterima....;-)"

Ini bukan solat Jumaat (part 2)

Lokasi: Masjid Al-Azim, Pandan Indah.

Waktu: Selepas solat Maghrib

Aku bertolak dari rumah pada pukul 7pm.  Isteri dan anak-anak agak keletihan selepas menziarah ibu dan bapa aku.  Ditambah dengan hujan berterusan sejak pagi tadi, lebih mudah bermotorsikal bagi mengelakkan kesesakan lalulintas di MRR2 dan juga di kawasan masjid.

Kuliah baru bermula

Mobile computing

While waiting for the car going through the regular 10,000km interval service, I took out my company issued notebook and resume my work from where I left it moment before that.

With weekly subscription of mobile broadband, I do teethering from my notebook. When space was limited, some little thing become a concern, like how or where to put the phone.

Between the leg and notebook?

Coz it gives warning..

A conversation took place not too far and not too long ago.

X has gone through the firewall rules and he become puzzled on some of them.  Desperately need clarification, he consulted Y, the firewall administrator.

X: Why do you need this particular rule that allow these IP addresses access to the Firewall itself?
Y: Ohhh.. that's one of the standard rules by the manufacturer for maintenance purpose.
X: Do you really need this rule that allow maintenance from a few segments?
Y: I can't remove or edit that. Every time I tried, it gave warning message.
X: Huh? What was the message?
Y: "Do you want to proceed?"

At that juncture, X was not sure to either laugh, educate or keep everything to himself.

The Contender?

Seriously, I don't know how should I put this.  Coming up with a title for this post already a fuss.

I came across this on my way back home yesterday.  I didn't notice it the day earlier so guess it was just put up by someone or some authority within the compound of the temple.

Ustaz Kazim Elias Al-Hafiz

Latar belakang
Al Fadhil Ustaz Mohd Kazim Bin Elias Al Hafiz adalah merupakan seorang pendakwah bebas di negeri Perak sejak tahun 1990. Atas sambutan orang ramai yang berminat untuk mendalami ilmu agama maka pada tahun 1995, Al Fadhil Ustaz Mohd Kazim telah mengambil inisiatif untuk membuka kelas pengajian kepada orang ramai di sebuah rumah kedai dua tingkat di Jalan Maxwell, Ipoh. Apabila jumlah pelajarnya semakin bertambah, maka Ustaz Mohd Kazim telah berpindah ke rumah kedai dua tingkat yang lebih besar di Silibin di bawah nama Sedaya Irham.

Perbezaan Banduan dengan Kita

Jumping into the bandwagon

Heard about DSLR?  To a point if you throw a coin at Central Market, high chance it will fall on a person will DSLR on his hand.  I was using Nikon F50 at one point of time but not for long due to 1997 financial crisis.

I was looking for a digital camera to replace my current Canon A520.  It has to be light, easy to carry around, simple to use and has big aperture.  All will suit the main purpose of taking photographs on my MTB outing.  Joe Adnan has always been inspirational for me to take better photo.

Beberapa detik dahulu

Aku terdengar A berbual dengan B keluar sebaik keluar dari surau selepas solat Asar.

A: Haji masuk wad minggu lepas?
B: Betul
A: Sakit apa tu?
B: Jantung. 3 tersumbat.
A: Pelik saya. Haji saya tengok makan jaga, petang-petang jogging.
B: Tidak ada yang peliknya. Semua itu kehendak Allah. Dia nak bagi sakit, sakit la kita. Mungkin dia bagi sakit tu untuk menghapus dosa-dosa saya.
