ilmu "free", kerja halal

dari jauh aku melihat seorang sahabat kusyuk membaca dinding iklan masjid,
"ko baca ape tu bro?" sambil mendongak pada tempat yang sama.
"jom belajar bahasa arab, best ni" jawab N dengan penuh minat.
"berapa bayaran?" dengan cepat aku bertanya.
"free ni, takkan kena bayar" jawab N seolah menyindir.
lalu mata aku bergerak keseluruh sudut iklan itu
"RM30 seorang setiap sesi"
aku terus menunjukkan pada harga itu pada si N sambil berkata
"sekarang, semua ilmu nak kena bayar, sapa nak mengajar free"
"laa, aku ingat free, tak nak la kalu camtu" sapa N dengan pantas
lalu kami memasuki masjid untuk mendengar khutbah jumaat.
-----------------------------------------------------------

susah mahu mencari ilmu "free" pada zaman sekarang ini. teringat masa zaman muda-muda, orang kampung mengajar al-quran di pondok kecil kepada kanak-kanak sekolah dengan tidak mengenakan harga sedikit pon. mereka hanya mengharapkan berkat mengajar itu dan dengan harapan mendapat redha dari Allah kerana menyampaikan benda yang baik pada umat islam. tetapi ibu bapa tidaklah begitu kejam dengan mengambil kesempatan terus pada si pengajar, kerana sekali sekala mereka mungkin akan memberikan hadiah kepada mereka, tidak kisahla, sama ada gula, beras, makanan-makanan lain, kain batik atau pelikat dan sebagainya. itu lah rezeki yang Allah berikan kepada mereka ini kerana telah berbakti menyampaikan ilmu Dia. tetapi zaman sekarang, kebanyakkan tenaga pengajar ilmu al-quran akan meminta sedikit bayaran, kalau tidak, tak mungkin akan mengajarnya anak-anak kecik lagi. kita sudah berpaling jauh dari kemahuan berkat Allah itu seperti orang dulu-dulu kala. sekarang, semuanya mengenai "k-ching...k-ching", kalau tidak, "tak mahu jalan".

teringat pada satu kisah, seorang guru yang arwah ayah pernah ceritakan. seorang guru pondok yang mengajar agama dan segala ilmu islam kepada masyarakat. beliau tidak bekerja selain dari menyampaikan ilmu Allah semata dan beliau tidak bergaji se sen pon. tetapi dengan berkat ilmu yang beliau sampaikan, Allah telah pon menghadiahkan nikmat wang dibawah tikar ruang tamu. setiap kali beliau mahukan wang, ada sahaja wang dibawah tikar. oh tidak, bukan sebanyak RM ratusan ribu, tapi sebanyak RM10 - RM50 begitu setiap kali beliau mahukan wang. ya, pada zaman sekarang, mungkin kita akan menyapa, "pakai toyol agaknya orang tu". senang sahaja mulut kita berbicara, tetapi hakikat yang sebenarnya jauh dari akal fikiran yang kita ada.

semalam, waktu saya berjalan dengan seorang rakan, pulang dari gerai makan. disitu terdapat kelab malam yang sentiasa ramai pengunjungnya. tapi semalam ada sedikit berbeza, kerana tidak begitu ramai walaupon jam sudah pon mencecah pukul 10pm lebih. sambil lalu disitu, saya terlihat seorang jejaka berbadan besar dan tegak sedang duduk seolah menjaga sesuatu. saya terlihat pada telinganya, ada tergantung tali "komunikasi". dalam hati, terdetik beliau seorang "bonzer". tetapi orangnya seorang melayu. kami sempat bertentangan mata, tetapi beliau cepat mengalihkan mata dengan pantas menunjukkan muka segan.

dalam perjalanan, sempat saya terfikir mengenai jejaka "bonzer" tadi. sebenarnya, dalam memilih kerja, kita ada terlalu banyak pilihan. terlampau banyak kerja halal yang dapat kita perolehi di kuala lumpur ini, atau dimana sahaja di malaysia, terlalu banyak. tetapi ramai sahaja yang akan memilih jalan yang salah, memilih kerja yang haram, hanya kerana pulangannya yang lumayan. tetapi apakah balasannya diakhir cerita kehidupan? dimanakah wang itu akan kita bawa? tentunya tidak kekubur.

kita harus ingat, rezeki, Allah yang berikan kepada kita. tidak kisah dimana sumbernya, asalkan halal, inshallah sumber itu adalah sumber berkat dariNya. mungkin juga orang akan bertanya, "bagaimana pula sumber dari kerja haram". ya, itu juga dari Allah, semua perkara datang dari Allah, cuma keberkatannya sahaja yang berbeza. kerana hasil yang kita hendak bawa keakhirat itu berbeza. 

sesungguhnya, sumber yang haram itu sampai 7 keturunan pon tidak akan habis selagi orang itu tidak bertaubat. dengan bertaubat, semoga Allah mengampuni dan menghapuskan semua dosa darah daging yang ada. inshallah.

wallahua'lam.

how to delete facebook?

yes, you can actually delete your fb account now if you want to, but upon request. after confirming the 'delete permanently' button, fb will send you an email stating that, in 14 days your account will be permanently deleted.

i think fb has their reasons why they're allowing this now. i remembered writing to facebook regarding the account cannot be deleted, and had requested that they should consider the 'permanent account deletion' (well, i think i wrote them anyway, but can't remember exactly if i did or not :P). i bet there are tones of users wrote to them requesting this option. maybe fb has become too crowded and they've decided that this option is now relevant. i don't know for sure, but i'm just guessing.

for people who wants to delete their fb account,

1. login your fb account

2. then click "Help" just besides the "Home" button.

3. in Help click "Facebook Basics"

4. in Basics, find "Manage Your Account", click "Account Settings & Deletion".

5. under Account Settings and Deletion, click "How do I permanently delete my account?"

6. then find this:
"If you do not think you will use Facebook again and would like your account deleted, keep in mind that you will not be able to reactivate your account or retrieve any of the content or information you have added. If you would like your account permanently deleted with no option for recovery, log in to your account and then submit your request here."

7. click "SUBMIT YOUR REQUEST HERE" to delete account.

8. then you can permanently delete your fb account forever!!

good luck. :)

And We Call Ourselves Believers…

By Masood

In the time of the Prophet,
even the hypocrites prayed in the masjid every day.
And we call ourselves believers,
but in a masjid many of us hardly ever pray.

They would fast in Ramadan and
they would give some money in zakat too.
And we call ourselves believers;
would our bellies and pockets say we’re true?

They acted and they prayed
as if they were the true lovers of this deen.
And we call ourselves believers,
but is salah even in our daily routine?

They gave money in sadaqa,
even though it caused their hearts much pain.
And we call ourselves believers,
yet in sadaqa, many of us totally refrain.

They acted as if they loved the Quran,
they memorized it and all.
And we call ourselves believers,
but many of us only hang it on our wall.

They even went to the masjid
when they heard Bilal’s mighty call.
And we call ourselves believers;
yet many miss salah for stuff like the mall.

They pretended that they loved you,
they would even hug and kiss you.
And we call ourselves believers;
yet anger runs between some of us like a flu.

They followed some sunnah,
however they did it just for show.
And we call ourselves believers,
yet the sunnah many of us just forgo.

They said La ilaha illalah,
but will go to the Nar because they weren’t sincere.
And we call ourselves believers,
yet to the deen, many of us don’t adhere.

In their hearts was a nasty disease,
yet they acted as if they really cared.
And we call ourselves believers,
and yet, its our actions that seem impaired.

Comparing ourselves to those hypocrites
is an interesting perspective.
And we call ourselves believers,
yet even compared to them many of us seem defective.

They were the enemies of Allah,
yet to Him they acted as if they were dear,
And we call ourselves believers;
well then, lets put this faith of ours in gear!

waiting is blessing

Love is a mysterious thing, it catches you in an instant, one moment you are doing fine, and before you've realized it you've already fallen in love, that's how scary it is.

In some cases, it truly was not meant to be, that's why all those love people seek didn't end so well, and I truly believe that is fate. Surely one day it's our turn to meet 'the one'.

And the only patient is time. Only time that awaits us to see the day. The day that we'll be united with our 'other half', and that day we will be truly blessed to Allah, because for all those years of waiting was worth the wait. (Insya Allah).

I guess for now, the only thing to do is wait, well with faith too..:)

-----------------------------------------------------------------

the above was my comments for a blogger. i never knew, that my words would bounced back at me..but it did. hehe~ hopefully, i can truly wait with patient and faith. inshallah.

craving for your love

what is this sorrow i feel?
the search for answers no where it could be
the one who exist but yet could not be found
the one that gives life
the one that i'm in love

sunk in darkness of mind and thoughts
no where to be heading
i flew into the black clouds of hope
as lonely nights pass me by
day after day, the child that scream
turns out to be the sound of my heart

i seek your love
regrets that fill all the wonders
i kiss my old rag and ask for mercy
and you are so kind
every time you touch me with your hands
and not once i see them
but yet i can feel its breeze
it reflects your pure love
even though i feel i don't deserve it

once i have tried to reach for wealth
you gave me a taste of bitter and sweet
nor i liked it even a moment
to have a gold that only turns to instant stone
in the end i can only weep
and again and again
only emptiness that fills my dead meat
what else should i seek instead?

oh my love
lead me in this mysteriuos world
i shall not know what will be next
thus i live with only hope
to gain your love now and after

oh my love
you are my only true lover
lend me your might
lend me your spirit
lend me your mercy
as i crave for your love

Who is at my door?

He said, "Who is at my door?"
I said, "Your humble servant."
He said, "What business do you have?"
I said, "To greet you, 0 Lord."

He said, "How long will you journey on?"
I said, "Until you stop me."
He said, "How long will you boil in the fire?"
I said, "Until I am pure.

"This is my oath of love.
For the sake of love
I gave up wealth and position."

He said, "You have pleaded your case
but you have no witness."
I said, "My tears are my witness;
the pallor of my face is my proof.'
He said, "Your witness has no credibility;
your eyes are too wet to see."
I said, "By the splendor of your justice
my eyes are clear and faultless."

He said, "What do you seek?"
I said, "To have you as my constant friend."
He said, "What do you want from me?"
I said, "Your abundant grace."

He said, "Who was your companion on the 'ourney?
I said, "The thought of you, 0 King."
He said, "What called you here?"
I said, "The fragrance of your wine."

He said, "What brings you the most fulfillment?"
I said, "The company of the Emperor."
He said, "What do you find there?"
I said, "A hundred miracles."
He said, "Why is the palace deserted?"
I said, "They all fear the thief."
He said, "Who is the thief?"
I said, "The one who keeps me from -you.

He said, "Where is there safety?"
I said, "In service and renunciation."
He said, "What is there to renounce?"
I said, "The hope of salvation."

He said, "Where is there calamity?"
I said, "In the presence of your love."
He said, "How do you benefit from this life?"
I said, "By keeping true to myself

Now it is time for silence.
If I told you about His true essence
You would fly from your self and be gone,
and neither door nor roof could hold you back!
