The Past and The Future: Where are we?????????

Asslammualaikum.....All praises belong to Allah alone....

As usual, every Friday, men are reminded in the khutbah about the current issues, history, islamic teaching and so forth. Today's khutbah was awesome.... from my point of view la...lau orang lain tu, diorang mesti bising2 dah.... coz khatib berpesan khutbah tu x leh kuar dari masjid dan untuk orang luar, so i have to bear the secret....

By the way, my intention on writing this entry is about some advices from khatib..... He said about the education, the mentality of society and the behavior of the students who are in the higher institution.... We are aware that social sickness is being a hot issue currently.... In newspaper whether it is online or printed, we all talk about the same thing.... social illness..... how to cope with it, how to cure it and how to prevent it still being a question yet to be answered by us.....

A society which is responsible to curb the illness from spreading wildly is the one who encouraging it. this statement is the best words for me to describe the situation in our country.... we, teenagers always complaining, criticize others, blaming others.... however, we do not realize that all the situation occurred because of our behaviour....

we left all those things to the "old skool" people to handle... as we know, conservative people handle with conservative way, modern people handle with modern way....But, in my own view, we are the modern people should combat this illness with a combination of conservative thought and modern thought..... thanks to "old skool" people coz u all have reminded us repeatedly..... really appreciated that... 

ok, i think thats all with my view on today's khutbah....

Now, i will continue with my feeling...hahahhaa....not a feeling of love or something related to it....cuma satu perasaan kecewa terhadap sikap kita....

After finished with Friday's prayer, there was an announcement that there will be a talk given by Azmil Mustapha.... for those who are not familiar with this name, u might familiar with this film, "Ali Setan"... Above is his picture....

He was an actor, a singer.... it is better for me to say that he was an entertainer.... Now, he is a daei', a missionary.... What make me disappointed is about the behaviour of our youth or our society....If there is a concert with renowned artist, i think that place like a congested road... uncountable people....

In contrast, if a Ustaz or missionary giving a free advice to us, i think i can count those who are present during the talk.... Same goes to today's speech given by Azmil....After friday prayer, many people just rush out from Masjid and left few people who were eager to hear the knowledge.... But, for me to blame everyone is not a good practice, i always bear in mind that certain people who rush out early may have an important things to do, such as attending classes, mid term exam or they are straving to death.... ok fine with that.... they have a valid reason....

however, how about those who do not have important task to do??????? Instead of wasting their time, why do not they wasting time in the mosque???? iktikaf and listening to the talk????? are they have a ton of good deeds????? those views also as a reminder for me... i am like others, sometimes i love to waste my time do nothing....what i am wrote here juz a reminder or tazkirah for myself to share with others....

the reason why this post titled: The past and the future: where are we is basically i wanna relate it with certain aspects touch by Khatib and Azmil himself....

 Azmil in his current image...


As for the past, it is about the glory time of Islamic empire.... where there is an Islamic State and ruled by the greatest Caliph such as Umar, Ali, Abu Bakr, and Uthman...... During that time, Islam was popular and respected by other religion.... Do we ever ponder how they managed to govern a state like that???? At the past, Muslims scholars were successful in many field of knowledge such as, Ibnu Khaldun, Al- Farabi, Al-Khawarizmi, and others famous scholars..... During those day, all the shaikh captured most of people's attention... they were eager to hear the knowledge from God.... They sacrificed their time for juz a little tips of being good Muslim and as to improve themselves.... People those day love to seek knowledge.... i am quite envy of them....same as i am envying people from western, China and Japan....

As for the mindset of Malay society, Khatib mentioned that Malays, they preferred if their kids further studies overseas such as in Harvard, Cambridge, MIT, and all well known institutions.... Only some who appreciated those kids who continue studies in Jordan, Mecca, and Damascus..... As for me, i can categorized me as being in the former group.... I do have an ambition that i want to further my studies in Harvard or Oxford....and also i want to learn in Japan.... that is my ambition... why????

becoz i loved their environment...... the eagerness of acquiring knowledge, and their curiosity behaviour.... that is the different between us and them... for the Muslims today, i see that we proud about our glory in the past....(same goes to me.....before i blame others, i trying to blame myself with my laziness in seeking knowledge...and i am trying to change myself... pray 4 me ek)....

where are we???? are we still in the past???? or we are trapped in the history or do we just proud with the past????? do we ever think of bringing those glory into reality????? I do think bout that, and i am trying to change that..... yet, i am not strong enough...what i can do is writing my thought to be read by someone...may Allah helps me in this Jihad....

As for the future, it is uncertain, unpredictable, unknown.....Except Him... He knows everything starts from the past, present and future.... Everything is in His Dominion.... we just believe in Qada and Qadar....ah, forgot to mention, during the speech given by Azmil, he reminded us to believe in Allah..... i have come with a thought that, if u want to love someone, u will try to know everything about that person. About his/her favourite things, we try to get their attention....Many thing we do, yet, we still unable to catch their heart....(this better goes to me as i am saying bout my mistakes)hehehehe....as for searching for Allah's love, we failed... we rarely ponder about His creation...Although He states in His Book that "He is near to His servant.", but we still walking away from Him...maybe this statement suits me..... I am trying to get near Him...But i am still weak... Oh God, granted me with a strength as for me to know You better than before...Amin...

Our future is yet to be determined....How we are going to shape our future if our mentality still immature???? If we still in the state of baby???just waiting for things to come to us... always pampered our self???? we are the prisoner without noticing it.... if we still stand at this stage, when will we level up????

Just another question for us to ponder...especially me...ok...it is already 2.30 a.m.... Yet, i am still in this cyber world...typing.....browsing and listening..... i got mid term exams on Monday night, wednesday and friday...huhuhuhu....

tomorrow, got clas, need to do some revision, but i am not interested in book yet...huhuhuhuh....wish those who are in the middle of exm a good luck and for those who are still learning, i hope, u strive for the best....

i quite with what have i written..i do not know whether it matches with my title or not, but for sure, the thing that was in my head before is completely different from this...hehehhee...coz i took a long break... i went to play bowling...heheheheh...good morning..
