Atheism, Christianity, Buddhism and Hinduism

In the name of Allah, for the sake of Allah, hand is dancing on the keyboard to start write again.

First of all, I would like to share with you maybe a little about comparative religion. But before that, what would we spontaneously answer if an atheist comes to us and asks us about God. He said that God is absent and if it's present where is He? Perhaps you all have your own answer. Maybe you can reply to them by slapping on their face and then tell them that your slap doesn't cause any hurt as hurt or pain cannot be looked. Ok. Other answers, you may reply to them by using scientific evidence or logical evidence but not using the Quran and Sunnah evidence. Probably you may be slapped by them. Logically, how and when the first thing is being created? An atom for example. Who created the atom? By chance? Oh...impossible! There must be a creator. And when we look to the universe, the earth, sky, forests, sea et cetera we will notice the beauty and astonish with the design and the question is who design them? Of course there must be a designer! And the same goes to this bare earth. There must be a creator. Just tell them so or you have more interesting and firmer answer.

Back to the topic. When we talk about other religion, we must study the scriptures of other religion. It's seriously important. Maybe most of us are frighten to investigate or maybe some of us are afraid to study other religions’ scriptures. Perhaps some of us will shrivel when we touch the Bible or Hindu scriptures. That's the problem! If we really firm and convince with our religion, in Quran, we will never scare to do research about other religion. Ok, let's look briefly through the Bible for instance. Bible has two versions; New Tastement and Old Testament. There are chapters such as Genesis, Mike, Luke, John etc. In Christianity beliefs, they hold the trinity belief. Christians trust the God, Son of God and the Holy Spirit but when we ask them how many God that they believe they will say one. How can one plus one equal to one? That's the question.

Roughly, Hinduism also trust many God. There is Trimurthi (Brahma,Vishnu and Siva), Ganesha (the elephant head one), Krishna (the God who steal during child), Muruga (that's in Batu Caves), Radha Krishna (lovers) etc. Trimurthi concept for instance. How could the one who generate creation (Brahma) didn't protect and sustain its creation? Otherwise, he gives the operator jobscope to Vishnu and destroyer work to Siva. Is there presence a big quarrel and dispution if one say he wants to protect and one say he wants to destroy the creation. Makes sense?

Buddhism also has an interesting history. There are Siddharta Gautama, Taoism, Confucianism, Omi tuo (God of Tao), Kuan Ying (those who trust him, didn't eat beef), Tua Peck Yong (the one who is God of Protector and it's a fact story that occur in Penang that Peck Yong disappear!), Kwan Yong (which police and gangster worship it), Datuk Kong (has mostauche), Chai Xen (Prosperity God using one day before Chinese New Year), Cap Goh Mei, Hungry Ghost, Tea ceremony, mooncake festival etc. The most interesting thing in Buddhims is about the funeral. They trust that when one of them meet death, all of the thing associate with the death person must be burnt including handphone charger! Otherwise, the corpse will suffer in the grave. There is one story about Ah Meng, who died once upon time. One night, his mother received a phone call from him and they talk for a particular time.

All of a sudden, Ah Meng said to his mother, "We have only a few minutes to talk".

His mother reply,"Why???".

Ah Meng said,"My phone battery is getting lower and I didn't bring my phone charger as you didn't burn it during my funeral..."

Uh, what belief is this. Very funny and you all know, the most polite and benevolent ghost is the Chinese ghost! If we notice, Chinese's ghost didn't run to catch humans instead of Malay's ghost who will not give any chance to humans to run and escape. Malay's ghost will disappear in front of human in a sudden. Hahaha. Just joking.

In a nutshell, we must do research about all religion so that when non-muslims ask us question about our religion, it's easy for us to defence and arguing back by conveying the message or signs with wisdom, so that they will think twice about their beliefs. Remember, the most vital thing is the way we spread and convey the messages. We must convey through the way they understand Islam, not the way we comprehend Islam.

Last but not least, I want to leave you all with a question.

1) In your opinion, what is the main factor that non-muslims did not accept Islam?

Aidiladha: Soal Pengorbanan (Puisi)

Dalam laungan takbir bergema
segenap pelosok alam buana terpana
keizzahan Islam mula mencorak suasana
pengorbanan Nabi Ibrahim menjadi indikator utama.

Hidup yang fana tak akan mampu lari dari pengorbanan
bukanlah perjuangan tanpa hadirnya entiti pengorbanan
makin besar tadhiyah, makin bertenagalah etimologi perjuangan
tak akan tertegak Islam jika masyarakat fobia dengan pengorbanan.

Para anbiya’ dahulukala jelas sekali berlumuran dengan lumpur tadhiyah
nyawa sanggup digadaikan dalam memanifestikan kesucian akidah
tawaran kekayaan, wanita, pangkat yang menggiurkan tidak menjadi masalah
kesemuanya ditolak ketepi lantaran jelasnya matlamat mempertahankan akidah.

Umat Islam kini lebih memilih frasa tolol bernama materialistik
virus al-wahn, hubb al-dunya, hubb al-ri’asah makin hari makin mekar berputik
jauhnya hayat daripada pengimplimentasian sunnah punca parahnya bertambah drastik
malah, yang menjadi idaman hati adalah anasir Barat dan ghazwah al-fikr.

Tak mustahil untuk menyalin kulit yang jijik kepada yang lebih kudus dan mulus
semuanya bermula daripada kehendak dan hati yang tulus
Allah semestinya dijadikan matlamat dalam setiap gerak-geri yang telus
bukankah Allah tak akan mengubah nasib sehingga kita sendiri berusaha ke arah transformasi yang kudus?

P/S: Salam Aidiladha khas buat pembaca sekalian. Jadikan pengorbanan sebagai satu daripada gaya hidup kita dalam menempah syurga Firdausi yang tak terhitung nilai harganya.

Selutan Dakwah Mencipta Revolusi

Aneka bucu dan liku jalan telah Allah rentangkan di hadapan sosok mata kita,
Ada yang dihampar dek permaidani dunia merah berseri,
Namun, selekoh tajam dakwah menghidangkan resepi onak berduri besi,
Kerana itulah denai sirat yang diharungi oleh anbiya' dengan jerih payah sekali.

Syeikh, jika mudahlah toriqud dakwah,jika kau ma'ruflah akan destinasinya,
Nescaya melimpah ruah insan melaluinya hatta yang berhati keji dan basi,
Namun, hakikat yang perlu dikunyah ialah jalan ini de facto komplikated sekali,
Seterusnya dijanjikan lagi dengan 'syuqqah' yang benar-benar menggugah hadaf asal insani.

Akui sajalah kita ni hanya penghubung mata rantai-rantai emas perjuangan,
Rasul 'alami pun bergelut selama 23 tahun dalam selut lumpur dakwah demi menjulang gerabak khilafah,
Defisiensi masa, taklifat qiyadi, cemuh maki dan 'iqab draconi,
Itulah sebenarnya kilauan mutiara dan ranuman buahan dalam mendinamikkan roh ke arah syurgawi abadi.

Ingat, kota sofistikated Rom bukan dibina dalam dakapan masa sehari,
Gelanggang Qanstantiniyyah sehingga 12 kali frekuensinya gagal ditembusi kubu kebalnya,
Madinah Jerusalem pula memerlukan 1001 munazzamah stategi yang mapan untuk dibebaskan kembali,
Persis juga dalam konstruksi khilafah,bukan dengan hanya melopong menopang dagu dan berwenang hati sahaja.

Jadi, apa tunggu lagi wahai mujahid pencinta syahid sekalian,
Oraklah langkah gagah berani, semarakkan infiniti semboyan iman dalam atma hati,
Tegakkan daulah dalam diri dan biarkan ia mekar berbunga di seluruh belahan taman dunia,
Dengan sinar harapan,kalian dipayungi mardhatilLah Ilahi seterusnya melorong ke Jannatu Firdausi.

Sufi Penghias Haraki

Tika dahi berseri kau sujud menyembah bumi setaraf dengan tapak kaki yang kau pijaki,
Lopak air mata melimpah ruah tanpa henti-henti,
Saat itu, baru kau sedar kau tu pengemis kasih Ilahi,
Aduh, amat rugi sekali, ia hanya sementara dek kerana ketika itu kau sedang diuji.

Namun, pabila lenyap derita sengsara ibtila' Rabbul 'izzati,
Dagu kau dongakkan, dada kau angkat seinfiniti tinggi,
Rasa angkuh dan ujub dengan khayalan tipu daya duniawi,
Lantas kau diruntun wahan dan keliru antara pencipta dan penglipur lara fatamorgana.

Tapi, tika hatimu terpukul dan cakna akan raja'nya kau kepada-Nya nanti,
Sekali lagi, kau alpa dan berasa cukup sekadar islah kendiri,
Kau terlepas pandang akan jerih payah darah Nabi berkocak pada kasut baginda di kota Taif,
Azimat yang kau ulang-ulang, "aku dah jadi baik, dah cukup dah tu"

Hakikatnya,kau silap besar lantaran kegagalanmu untuk meneladani Rasul 'role model' 'alami,
Usaha mengerah keringat dalam menegakkan panji Islam syumuliah kau terlepas pandang,
Sunnah perjuangan yang menjanjikan kemuncup beracun dan duri-duri sembilu menjadi momokan yang kau geruni,
Di mana himmah mujaddid Islam seperkasa al-Fateh, al-Ayyubi dan selantang peti suara iman Al-Khattab?

Hei syeikh! Buka mata, buka mata hati, cuba salamatus sadri selami Islam sedalam-dalamnya,
Rona-rona sufi cukup cantik sekali, tetapi debu-debu haraki syumuli jauh mantap sekali,
Adunan kedua-dua 'secret recipe' ini serius mampu menatijahkan impak maksima barangkali,
Ayuh sahabat seagamaku, moh kita julang empayar ketamadunan Islam yang dilanda keterpurukan dan kejumudan globalisasi!

'Tadarruj' Dalam Berdakwah

Bismillah.

Terdetik rasa di hati untuk mencoretkan dan melebarluaskan jalur dakwah yang kian diancam oleh tsunami teknologi dan kepincangan sosial.

Kadangkala,kita sibuk memikirkan dan membincangkan mengenai isu-isu hangat semasa,persoalan-persoalan kritikal, fikrah, siasah dan berbagai macam lagi perkara-perkara mencabar dalam kehidupan. Memang tidak dinafikan peningkatan umur perlu diseiringkan dengan kematangan berfikir seseorang. Tetapi adakah penerimaan mad'u terhadap hal-hal yang bersifat 'challenging the mind' betul modus operandinya.

Pointnya kat sini adalah soal tadarruj dalam berdakwah sebagaimana dalam syariah sendiri ada peringkat-peringkat pensyariatannya. Allah tidak mengharamkan arak secara terus kepada umat zaman Nabi. Allah maklumkan dulu baik buruk, kemudian Allah tak bagi minum arak ketika hendak melaksanakan solat dan kemudian barulah Allah haramkan secara mutlak terhadap peminum arak.

Cantik sekali Allah merencanakan hukuman terhadap umat Islam. Nabi pula kemudian diutus sebagai 'role model' kepada umat sekalian alam. Allah mengutus Nabi Muhammad untuk menunjukkan bahawa setiap perkara dan gerak kerja Islam yang kita lakukan ada tahap-tahapnya. Operasi dakwah misalnya daripada sirr kepada jahar dan terang-terangan. Pembinaan daulah Islamiah pula mempotretkan bagaimana Nabi meyemai dan memasakkan benih-benih akidah selama 13 tahun di setiap belahan kota Mekah untuk memudahkan pelaksanaan dan pensyariatan hukum di negara Islam Madinah selama 10 tahun.

Samalah seperti kita dan sesiapa yang ingin melaksanakan tugas-tugas dakwah yang bersifat syumuliah khususnya, perlukan kepada tadarrujnya mengikut kepada waqi' semasa.Kadang kala kita terlupa lantaran ketidaksabaran untuk melihat kepada hasil akhir dan penyampaian mesej kepada masyarakat. Komplikasinya ramai mad'u tidak dapat menerima ajaran dan seruan dakwah tersebut lantaran kesemua nilai-nilai Islam tersebut gagal untuk meresap ke dalam hati mereka. Itulah sebabnya uslub dakwah terdapat pelbagai cabang-cabangnya.

Tak semua orang boleh terima suapan ayat-ayat suci al-Quran secara terus. Bukan semua juga yang gemar mendengar ceramah-ceramah agama dan khutbah jumaat apatah lagi jika pidatonya lesu dan tidak bermaya. Jadi, apa yang nak disampaikan di sini ialah manfaatkanlah segala macam uslub dakwah dengan pencerahan kreativiti da‘i untuk disampaikan kepada masyarakat terutamanya anggota dan gerombolan masyarakat yang masih jahil dan tercari-cari mengenai kefahaman dalam agama. Kemudian, kita laksanakannya dengan semaksimum keringat dan ketekunan jika benarlah kita betul-betul nak sampaikan dan mencontohi risalah yang Nabi bawa.

Bukankah Allah gemar akan insan yang tekun dalam melakukan kerja?

Al-Banna Lucid's Vision

So, here is my first masterpiece for us about our ulama' and Islamic striver. Seriously, this figure is an influential figure in this world. Tell me, who didn't know this figure? Of course most people know him and at least they once had heard about his name. For those who didn't know this figure is a very loser and they had make a big mistake in their life. I don't care for those who didn't agree with my statement.

As we all already know, al-Mathurat that we frequently read everyday after Asar and Subuh (for those who read) prayer is written by him. It is a sunnah. Every sunnah is seriously bring to a success in the end. That's from the side of ibadah and actually it's a very small scope I think.

The biggest contribution that we can see from his strive is the establishment of a very influential and concrete team, Ikhwan al-Muslimin. Until today, we can see and know about the great and its outshoned achievement. This is because the team is striving hardly and all of the the team's members put all their heart and life for the team's goal of strive. That's for standing and firming Islam in this world. That's the highest honour of strive in life actually.

Last but not least, let's keep our searching and studying about this team and other teams which are striving for Islam holistically. In the blink of our eyes, we already know and notice that there is an enormous amount of team in this world (for those who know and browsing for it). So, maybe some of us still confuse to choose the best team. And maybe some of us think that all teams are good. It's ok but to be frank, in order to uphold Islam back in this world such as during the 'Khilafah al-Islamiah' period, we need to choose only one team which strive holistically for Islam to prevent the multiplication of team which ultimately will lead to a different Islamic's main goals and different way of thinking.

Allah knows better than my slim mind. What about your opinion?

Nice Quotations

Salaam.

Urm, I got many feedbacks which support and said that dakwah using pictures is indeed an effective and attractive way. Simple. Many people and mad'u can accept it.

So, here are some nice quotes I found in a website. The interesting thing is the quotes are presented using a picture and the picture is closely related to the message of the quotes. So, the point here is by looking through these pictures, don't just read and let them enter your right ear and exit through your left ear again. A bit loss there.

The most dominant thing is our understanding and how far we practice it in our daily life. It's a big mistake done by most people nowadays when they know something but they didn't do and practice what knowledge they have. Isn't it true?

But Allah frequently said in Koran that indeed in every creature either on the sky or on the earth, each of them has a sign for the GOOD THINKERS. Thus, let's be a good thinker.

Now, set your mind to be a good thinker. Insha-Allah you will success and blessed by Allah. BarakaLlahu fik.

Comments and any viewpoints are honourably allowed.

Together we move forward for BETTER and raise our STRIVE for Islam...

Dakwah Using Pics?

Welcome back.

My friend once told me that don't always keep using texts and words in dakwah. He reminds me to use picture and humour.

Urm, yes. I accept the way of dakwah. As we all can see, humour can be a type of very attractive dakwah like what Ustaz Azhar Idrus do. He's very expert in giving tazkirah and Islamic issues discussion. At the same time he successfully insert some humours in his preach. That's why from day to day, many people like to hear his interesting speech. Great daie'! Serious.

So, I would like to share some nice pictures about Islam that I met in one web. Here we are.

Islam is built with 5 pillars. Are we really do and understand all of them?

How far have we understand and strive the phrase "Allah is the only truly God" (syahadatain)

Let's live for Islam! we must always increase our understanding about Islam as it's very significant for a long term vision.

Remember friends,we are muslim 24 hours not part-time muslim

Another one, let's us make Islam as our way of life.Insya Allah we will safe in world and akhirat.

Get Islam?Make sure we understand Islam deeply so that we can widen and strengthen our dakwah.

One day,Islam will win.Are we conclude in those who contribute for the victory?That's the question.

We're honour because of Islam.If we find the honour other than Islam,we will be insulted by Allah.

Let's pray for our consistent and 'thabat' in Islamic strive.May Allah bless us.=)

Life is a Strive

Alhamdulillah. All praise to Allah, finally I succeed to make a short video using Windows Movie Maker browser. It's not as difficult as I think but it's fun and interesting!

Hurm, maybe I just make a simple and short video. So I didn't experience the hardship and barrier to make an astonish video. Maybe, after this I can go further (if I was given an adequate time from Allah, although we all know that our work is more than the time given) and maybe I can use the Windows After Effect. Who know?

Ok. Let's look for my masterpiece. Maybe you can drop your comment and give an opinion about my first video clip.

Ha, another thing. Don't worry about this video. This is not upload from the Youtube which need you to wait for the 'loading process' and it's very troubling when our internet run slow, instead we have a bit of patient in our heart.

Have fun.
