Look Before You Leap

Long before there were loudspeakers introduced in masjid before 1930s, where they are used for the adhan (call to prayer).. Muslim were beating this big drum as adhan. 

I'm always telling my non muslim friends to think twice before embrace Islam instead of urging them in making a rash decision.

Because they must be knowing the true meaning of shahadah first instead of chasing dunya. Then embrace the essences of shahadah, the whole new guidance in life. worship none but Allah SWT, witness prophet Muhammad s.a.w. as the last messenger for mankind.

When shahadah recited, the whole dunya means nothing and everything try to tear us apart, telling us how sorry we should feel and how irresponsible we are.

Most people have a fragile heart, they can't take the trials and challenges easily unless if they have found the true path to go on.

The only thing left within us is the little faith in shahadah. The reason to stay strong and knowing the true meaning of life as servants.

Surau Dalam Bilik Stor

The beauty of  green fields and Masjid in Perlis

Saya kerap teringat bilik surau yang terletak dalam bilik stor oleh bekas firma saya, bukannya ingin mengkritik bekas firma sebagai tidak mempunyai belas kasihan, tapi apa yang menarik perhatian saya adalah kesabaran murid2 praktikal yang tetap menjaga kebersihan lantai dan sejadah biarpun dikelilingi oleh lambakan file.

Dari situ saya bertanya dimanakah Tuhan orang islam? Pada masa dahulu saya tidak mengenali islam langsung, apatah lagi apa yang disembah oleh muslim. Pada waktu rehat saya melihat murid2 masuk ke dalam surau beramai2 selama 10 minit. Namun kadang kala saya memasuki bilik stor atas arahan mencari file, saya tidak menemui sebarang perantaraan yang disembah.
