Sesumpah

I really am not interested in the current hot issue in Malaysia but I felt like I should put this up because all this crazy sumpah laknat thing can be very confusing to non-Muslims and Muslims alike. Again, the root of the problem is the lack of proper understanding of our Deen, Islam. Do listen to the ustaz's explanation in the video. Thank God someone is sensible and brave enough to clear this up before more misunderstandings of the religion can occur, and he explained it rather well I'd say. Short and clear and most importantly, with reference to the Quran.

• Proses sumpah untuk menuduh seseorang itu berzina tiada dalam hukum syara' kecuali yang membabitkan suami isteri sahaja. 
• Rujukan: surah An-Nur: 4-9. 

I don't really have the knowledge (even so, I do know that this is not the right way to solve things) so sorry for the lack of info because I am currently busy studying for my finals. No time to search for a more complete explanation. However I think this explanation is quite reliable. Do correct me if anything is wrong or missing.

"They have taken their oaths as a cover, so they averted [people] from the way of Allah . Indeed, it was evil that they were doing." (63:2)

"Mereka menjadikan sumpah-sumpah mereka sebagai perisai, lalu mereka menghalang-halangi (manusia) dari jalan Allah. Sungguh, betapa buruknya apa yang telah mereka kerjakan." (63:2)

Four-leaf clover

No, I don't need a four-leaf clover right now.

The four things I desperately need at the moment are:

1. Concentration
2. Patience
3. Discipline
4. Hardwork

All of which, is the complete contrast of the usual yours truly.

But I am trying. 

By the way, there is no such thing as luck, I dare say. 

There is predestination, i.e. qada and qadar. 

And there is this familiar verse: 

"..Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves." (13:11)

Berusaha! 

Lets learn health economics!

Should have studied this sooner. Haha.

Is this the right choice?

"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." (2:216)

Hmm..Mungkin list ubat-ubatan ini, segala pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, 

side effects, interactions, et cetera..nampak kurang menawan.

Tapi mungkin ini yang terbaik untuk aku? 

Then how?

 "O you who have believed, seek help through patience and prayer. Indeed, Allah is with the patient." (2:153) 

Pray and be patient, Smak.

We will never know, but He definitely knows.

My second attempt.
An RBS fish!

RBS stands for the Royal Bank of Scotland, my current bank. This one was made from a RBS leaflet, hence the name. Oh I even deviated a little from the instructions and modified the tail to make it look like that. Konon cantiklah. 

But the most interesting part gotta be the bulging eye, don't you think?

Size does matter, but my cat does not seem to think so... 

You can find the instructions on how to make this fish here. 

What a pretty afternoon.

Kerana aku selalu lupa #2

Truthfully speaking, kadang-kadang rasa fed up jugak asyik dengar rungutan perasaan ni. The neverending complaints of how your life sucks and how you are always the most unfortunate person on earth. Sila jangan terasa, this is intended for yours truly as well, tiada kena mengena dengan yang hidup atau mati. Luahan hati sekali sekala is very understandable, you can't bottle up all your feelings, but if it goes on and on and on.... Pffftt. Just be thankful that you are still alive, will you? You still have the time to make your life worth something. 

For those with love problems especially, (I'm sorry but I'm going to be very untactful here) that is what happens when you put your whole heart into something as unreliable as human hands. 

Love Allah. Love someone because of Him. For He will always be there.

La tahzan, innallaha ma'ana.
Don't be sad, indeed Allah is with us. (9:40)

If you rely on Him, everything you do, everything that happens to you, will make sense. I don't really know how to explain this, perhaps you should try to find it out yourself.

If Allah helps you, none can overcome you; If He forsakes you, who is there, after that, that can help you? In Allah, then, let believers put their trust. (3:160)

Psssst: Do love me for Him, and do make me love you for the same reason too. 

Adikku Eman

Happy 21st !! 

Eh jap. Kira balik. 

Okay, betullah 21 tahun. Haha. Adik 3 orang je dah macam ni. 

Jangan nakal-nakal lagi macam dulu. Jadilah engineer cum ustaz yang berjaya!

Oh tapi taknak macam Ustaz Amirul, bak kata Emak, nanti sibuk pasal bini je.  

Paper Cat

So here I am, 2 am in the morning, still burying my face in the books.

However after a while I got bored and therefore I ventured on a new hobby..

Origami! 

Ini apa?

Duhh, of course I'd pick a cat. 

Well it does look like one, right? Right??? (You better say it does).

I think the level of this cat origami is somewhere around Level 2. 

Pretty easy. But I used this hard leaflet paper, hence the horrendous look. 

Don't think it suits me, this hobby. Because for these origamis to look good, all the foldings must be done accordingly and very neatly. Neat and smaku does not go together.

Anyway, you can also try making this cat, instructions are here. 

Oh if you wonder why I was suddenly into origami, try watching this video. Cool stuff!

Toodles.

Excuse #1

Macam mana nak study kalau makhluk montel ni kacau?

Haish.

Kerana aku selalu lupa #1

Masa susah payah buat FYP je banyak berdoa. Minta dipermudahkan urusan, semoga sempat siap. Lepas dah submit project, terus happy. Nak pergi enjoy, celebrate. Lumrah manusia ke? Suka meminta, lepas tu lupa. Tak berterima kasih. Apa nak jadi ni. Haish.

Hadith by Abu Abbas Abdullah:

 "Remember Allah in times of ease, and He will recognise you in times of distress."

Tolong ingatkan aku,

kerana aku selalu lupa. 

Vampire Clan

Ni namanya cara orang sini relax after half dead buat FYP.

Unik, kan. Haha.

Alhamdulillah, we can now focus on the coming exams!  

Fitrah

I believe it is in our nature, as humans,
to be able to differentiate between what is good and what is not.
Making the choice is up to us.
Blame not other people.
Blame not the environment.
Make the choice,
and commit.

Ya Allah, tetapkanlah aku di jalanMu.
