ON THE HIGHWAY

ON THE HIGHWAY

“AKHI, YOU’LL DRIVE” I said to my sahabah, Raja Azman while handing over the car key of my Kancil 660 to him. Yeah, he did drive and still driving because the moment I’m posting this post, we are “ON THE HIGHWAY” to IIUM (International Islamic University Malaysia) in Gombak, Kuala Lumpur.

As we are “ON THE HIGHWAY”, I think this is the best time to reflect on our life’s road that we are currently going through. Every one of us is a traveler who seeks something that is achievable in life. We seek something that we can gain every second and make sure that we are not the same as we are a second ago. If we are the same person as we are before, then we are merely scum, we are useless. We are nothing to everything and yet we feel satisfied as if our deeds are recognized by ALLAH. A poet once said "We take delight in every day that we have lived, yet each day that passes is a portion of  our lifetime gone."

Each day that passes, each moment we’ve gone through is, as it were, a leaf that has withered and fallen from the tree of our life. May Allah have mercy on Al-Hasan al-Basri when he says: "O son of Adam! You are but a bundle of days. As each day passes away, a portion of you vanishes away!"

So that is why we have to seize every second in life and should sometimes take five and applies the brakes in order to measure our performance. An intelligent, sensible person ought to do likewise, in respect of his life. More than that, he should beseech Allah to bless his life, make his day better than yesterday, and his tomorrow better than today.

In Penang before we parted from my other companions, Ikrimah Husni, Saiful Rahman, Ridhuan, Faris Fitri and Najmi, they all said “Drive carefully and may ALLAH be with you guys.” The advice by them has two parts. The part that says “drive carefully” maybe us as a human beings can do by applying the greatest care and skill while driving, but the second part that says “…may ALLAH be with you guys” is a part that only ALLAH can do. We can take all the precautions but If ALLAH wills that we will DIE in accident than who knows? Only ALLAH knows. HE is the best planner:

54. and (the unbelievers) plotted and planned, and Allah too planned, and the best of planners is Allah.

  Please pray for us so that our journey to IIUM is a safe journey and most importantly a journey that is shadowed by ALLAH.

WALK THE TALK

WALK THE TALK

If every person walked the talk,
 can you imagine how could it be?

A world filled with good intentions,
that all became REALITY.

We could count on each other,
and coexist respectfully.

There would be no broken promises and
no HYPOCRISY.

We’d have no problems spotting heroes;
 they’d be everywhere to see.

 Just by looking at the mirror,
we all would find INTEGRITY.

 If everybody did what’s right,
most rules we wouldn’t need.

Conscience, trust and common sense,
would be all the things we heed.

 There would be no hurtful actions in the news
that we would READ.

Only story after story of yet another
 NOBLE DEED.

When it comes to raising children
with young characters to mold and FEED,
the best lessons they could ever learn
would come merely by following OUR LEAD.

 If each of us behaved beliefs,
 there’d be little cause for fear.

 All actions would be honorable,
our values would be clear.

Just by watching what it is we DO,
one could tell that we hold dear.

For our principles would be acts you see,
 NOT merely words you hear.

 It’s a challenging task to WALK THE TALK;
 every hour, day and year.

 And all we can do a better job,
 let’s start RIGHT NOW, RIGHT HERE!!!

JOURNALISM CLUB had organized two programs
consist of a TALK (5/3/2010) and a WALK (6/3/2010).

We said that we want to save PALESTINE in the talk
and would search for DONATIONS in the walk.

We did WALK and
 we did our TALK.

HOW ABOUT YOU?

Let’s walk the talk together…

TIME IS NOT A RHYME

TIME is not a rhyme
by: ~dae_meen~

What do we say everyday?
That makes us all far away,
standing all alone and parting ways.

We claim that we do not have time,
we kept on saying that from time to time,
making it hear like a rhyme.

We say that we are too busy,
too busy and even no time other than study,
as if we are getting ready.

We complain that “Do not bother me!”
“I am a busy man as you can see!”
  “Who are you to come to me?”

But what have we done actually?
Please answer me sincerely!
Wasting time or have we used it effectively?!

When you say that time is too rigid,
sounds to me that it is stupid,
as stupid as CUPID,
declaring love to man more than ALLAH like it is so significant.

Why do you say that you do not have time?
When I say all the time is mine?!
MANAGE YOUR TIME and stop your whine.

Stop claiming that same old claim,
if you do that you will sound lame,
like people searching for fame.

What do they get?
Is it all that they affirm to get?
They get nothing but only regret.

Nothing in time will ever be repeated,
GOING BACK AGAINST TIME is definitely an impossible method,
so that is why we have to CAPTURE the moment.

Hear carefully this rhyme,
remember this until the end of time,
TIME WILL NEVER BE A RHYME.
