Cepat cepat cari jalan keluar..

Don't hold or dwell on it for so long. You have to find way out and stay with the spirit of the moment. Don't let it rots and spoil the whole contents in the basket. No time for some stories  that might spoil the coming of  tomorrow. Let tomorrow be the sweetest of days and days to come. And yesterday is being laid to rest forever. And tomorrow is the 1st of January 2013. Allah is Great. Allahuakbar.

smashes..

It smashes all rules written and non-written alike. Be it before, now, and then. It does not matter. A rule has to be replaced somehow. Need not  follow blindly. When situation permits, old rules just do not concur with events. A true rule of concurrences forces out the truth in all things. Tsunami brought out the good, thrashed the bad, evil, in people. 

Tsunami forces the community to abandon rules and traditions that seems to put societies and individuals apart. Like it or not , they have to unite under a new banner in order to survive. Everybody knows it. 

An old stories do not hold water anymore. But majority still succumb to it as though only in death they shall part by what they have wrongly pledge. Is that what change is all about?

Sesungguhnya Allah Yang Maha Berkuasa ke atas Segala-Galanya. Dengan azan yang dilaungkan, menyedarkan kita masih lagi bernafas dan menghala kepada hari esok. Dengan pertukaran hari ke hari lain, secara kasar berapa pernafasan yang masih tinggal boleh dihitung. 

Tetapi masih ada yang lupa. Itulah hikmah azan mengingatkan masyarakat dan individu betapa saat dan ketika ini adalah sangat rugi jika tidak dimanfaatkan dengan membuat sesuatu menepati kesedaran kebolehan kita yang telah diserukan. Allahuakbar.

Ruang dengar, lihat, fikir...

Terlalu luas dan besar menyebabkan kepahitan dan kesengsaraan diri sendiri tidak sangat dirasai. Apa, itu menceritakan mengapa masa masa yang lepas penuh dengan kepahitan tidak sangat dirasai apa lagi mendendami? Semacam selangkah lagi aku dalam usaha mengenal diri sendiri. Adakah aku memiliki ruang legar mendengar, melihat, memikir, amat luas, besar menyebabkan sentiasa positif dalam apa jua `kepahitan' yang melanda? Adakah disebabkan itu juga saya tidak merasai yang saya ada memberi dan menolong?  Tidak ramai  memiliki ruang besar sebegini. Wallahualam. Semuanya anugerah Allah. Hamba Mu sujud penuh rasa kesyukuran. Allah Yang Maha Berkuasa. Allah Yang Maha Mengetahui. Allah Yang Maha Besar. Allah Jua Yang Kekal. Allahuakbar.

Somewhat a different taste..

Remembering those days, preoccupied with oneself in facing the day to day events that come. Surrounded by the not so `friendly individuals and events' but posed a true challenge even in moving to another single day, single night, and another single person and individual. It is real. Is it real? Very much. It has carved out stories begin with the first and the last chapter. To them, it is truly a test of good heart, bad heart, and evil intentions.What about me? That has become central and should be at the center of the stage. Do I realized it then?  

Recalling those days and a time life seem  an `ordinarily and virtually nothing' but accept it fully in the face of life that is me and only me. But now, just like a blink of the eye, those days of oneself and those dragging days and uncertain feel, just sat at the side of a feel and sense of gratefulness. It has grown into a unique physical, mental, financial strength in seeing the days and the nights. Ya Allah. Hamba sujud kepada Mu, Ya Allah penuh kesyukuran akan apa yang dilalui dan diberi. Ketentuan Mu Ya Allah. Hamba Mu memohon keampunan. Allah Yang Maha Besar lagi Menguasai Segala-GalaNya. Allahuakbar.

Managing the family..

Is it an art or is it a science? Neither till it is well recognized and understood.Well, everybody should have the expertise in managing one. But it is not well recognized. This is because success is carved out from a deep self  sense of responsibility pervasive of everything.

 Everybody seems to understand what it means by a successful career. A well united career development, so to speak. What I see a united family as on top of everything. I see it as as a successful  world in all worlds and for all worlds, here and hereafter. It is above and over managing a career, above and over what we called as a successful corporate world of companies and organizations. Managing a family, knows not a time boundary. It is not a 9 to 5 working hours. It has its own sets of challenge but most of the time overlooked, and bypassed despite the `balance sheet' comprised of  all and everything, always growing and profitable, all the time. And yet the role of managing it is seen as side stories.

The management of family starts well before birth and beyond death. It is a priceless responsibility.  It has a timeless infrastructure well set with assets of time, over time, all the time, all places, and everybody. It is a God given responsibility to everybody. As we know, most of the time, heart rules. It ties and untie  the family members especially when comes to worldly wealth. And among the family members, must be someone who is a concerned family member, who is mindless of the destructive heart created by the worldly wealth. And at all times steered the family to safety bearing the image that spells  the Greatness of Allah. Ya Allah berilah hamba Mu ini taufik dan hidayah dalam mengharungi kehidupan berkeluarga dan juga bermasyarakat. Allahuakbar.

tunnel of no return...

 Frightening moment when you are at your last breath. No turning back. No more act of redemption. You are disabled from head to toe. Thinking about your mother? No more time for  the loved ones. It shall be the tunnel of no return. What awaits you there is yet to be seen. It is no mystery. You are being warned of what the world would be beyond the tunnel. Now you can feel the softer lights around and everywhere. Would I be guided to reach there? Allah Yang Maha Besar. Allah Yang Maha Mengetahui. Berilah hamba Mu ini keampunan. Berilah hamba Mu ini Ketenangan. Allahuakbar.

time heals..

It is a varied dimensional world with solutions of a varied kind. Heart might rule. But mind can overrule. And time is reset. And we are on a new plane of existence. In other words, time heals. All and always for the betterment of all creations. Allah telah menjadikan Ciptaan Nya dengan Penawarnya sekali. Allahuakbar.

Reverse...

In fact, there is nothing strange to things that has happened. It reflects a specialty. Exclusive. A story line by itself in many many many years to come. Might be in a decade. Might be in a century. And as for Islam, it truly has no comparison. In death things shall be understood. Allah Yang Maha Besar. Allah Yang Maha Mengetahui. Hikmah pada Segala-GalaNya. Hikmah pada setiap ciptaan. Have it reversed, and found peace in all. Wallahualam. Allahuakbar.

hubungan...

Ianya tidak fizikal. Ianya berpaksikan kebanggaan dan kasih sayang terhadap seseorang.  Apabila kebanggaan itu di punahkan, maka hubungan memungkinkan hilang satu satu pengertian baginya terhadapnya. Maka terciptalah satu ruang dan rongga kosong. Lantas perhubungan menjadi rosak dan tidak mungkin di pulihkan. Tetapi sebagai bapa kepada anak, kebanggaan itu hanya berpaksikan tanggungungjawab kepada anak sebagai anak, Ciptaan Illahi, di mana kita diamanahkan terhadap anak tersebut. Tidak mungkin tercipta ruang dan rongga kosong. Maka perhubungan itu tidak bisa terputus. Berdoalah yang terbaik agar hubungan itu terpelihara dan bertambah kuat ikatannya. Allah Yang Memberi. Allah Yang Maha Pengasih. Allah Yang Maha Penyayang. Allah Yang Maha Besar. Allah Yang Maha Mengetahui. Allah Yang Maha Berkuasa ke atas Segala-galanya. Ketentuan Allah adalah satu hikmah. Allahuakbar.

second opinion...

Wonder why you need that second opinion? It is so clear that something amiss. Beware, as you get older, the thought is refined to a point of believing the first thought that comes to your brain is the answer to the problem at hand. Enough of looking at  second opinion.  Is it not well laid out in front of  you well scripted from various point of view?  Wallahualam. Ya Allah hamba Mu memohon petunjuk dan hidayah. Allahuakbar.

High definition..

The word definite has become the technology of today. But when comes to thought, we still lacks the standard of high definition. Wonder why? High in technology but low in thinking. The mind seems to stop processing. We think technology is everything and thinking is at its worst. If ever there is good thinking going around, it is the bad and the evil thoughts that seems to have a control on things and events. Media seems to be of high tech but not the stories. We have been reduced to a barbaric times of the real barbarians where and when technology is just at its fancy. High definition technology seems to put us at a level of low thinking. Have we? Wallahualam.Ya Allah, berilah Hamba Mu ini keampunan. Allahuakbar.

Virginity in thinking..

They don't seem to have one. In the process of `just have to live and breathe', along the way, he  rapes everything. Why? Just because they don't have that sense of virginity in doing something and anything. Just not yet?  Or just let others roll the day and roll the sleeves.. Mohonlah Taufik dan Hidayah dari Allah Yang Maha Memgetahui. Allahuakbar.

Managing the infinity...

Many categories of individuals. One who is thoughtful and have no sense of `definity' in doing and in thinking. The other, a person who just cannot stop thinking and doing. This morning,the infinity, the border less,  and the immortals seems to `haunt' me. What? Why?

It is not difficult to manage, anything and everything. Why? Everything and everybody has its own sense of infinity and `definity'. If it is not, then we might run into a person, who has lost their sense of `definity'. They don't see one. They don't hear one. For some, it ends up in an untimely error of everything and everybody. They might die dreams unfulfilled. To them a life is just a life. 

A student is supposedly knows when and where to make a stop for a search. In the quest for knowledge, a student should stop at their lecturer's room for discussion. Are they not in the process of searching the `definity' and the definitive in the course enrolled? It seems they have lost the `senses' required in seeking for new knowledge. 

Allahuakbar.

Kegelapan...

Bermula dengan kegelapan dan kemudian proses kehidupan dalaman dan luaran telah mencahayakan sesetengah aspek pemikiran maka berlakulah segala kebolehan yang terhad kepada seseorang itu. Siapa saya? Senang di cari jawapan. Tetapi mengapa saya? Allah Yang Maha Berkuasa telah menjuruskan ciptaaNya kepada peranan, yang mana mata kasar sukar difahami kalau tidak diusahakan. Mohonlah taufik dan hidayah dari Allah. Allahuakbar.

Kemaafan sebenar dan sepenuhnya..

Kisah sedih di Newton, Connecticut
Di dunia, kita tidak akan berjumpa dengan kemaafan sepenuh dan sebenarnya. Kehidupan di dunia tidak mengizinkan kita melakukan dan memikirkan segala-galanya. Dalam semua hal,  perkara, dan umur, kita sangat terbatas. Lantas, ada yang tidak terdaya atau tersempat mengesan roh yang penuh dengan kemaafan kepada segala kesilapan dan kesalahan. Walaupun tidak berjaya menemuinya atau mengesannya ketika hidup, semua akan berjumpa dengannya apabila kematian tiba. Wallahualam. Allahuakabar.

Ujian kebaikan..

Maha Suci Allah. Allah Menguasai Segala-GalaNya. Berdoalah  supaya hari, masa, perbuatan, fikir, yang mana kesemuanya menghala kepada kebaikan. Tidakkah kamu terfikir bahwa ruang menguji diri kita sangat luas dan tidak ada sempadannya? Allahuakbar.

Doa yang menembusi langit..

Berdoalah kepada Allah dalam apa jua keadaan dan janganlah mensyirikkan KEESAAN dan KEKUATAN Allah dengan apa jua. Itulah doa yang menembusi apa jua rintangan dan halangan. Allah Maha Mendengar dengan apa yang dihasratkan. Allahuakbar.

jangan terperangkap...

Di pagi Jumaat yang mulia ini, Ya Allah, saya memohon kepada Mu Ya Allah supaya di jauhi dari keadaan terperangkap dan terpedaya dengan penampakkkan dan perbuatan kehidupan yang jumud dan jahil. Kepada Mu Ya Allah saya memohon keampunan, taufik, dan hidayah. Allahuakbar.

Vertical versus horozontal...

It struck me as as collaboration and corroboration with somebody and the format it should be understood. Vertical integration gives the idea of human interaction among themselves. Horizontal is essentially organizational relationship. Does my writing takes the form of vertical or horizontal, or both? But it seems it is just not that. What should I do? Allah Yang Maha Besar. Allah Yang Maha Mengetahui. Allahuakbar.

persediaan dan kebiasaan...

Terus pergi kepada apa yang hendak ditulis pagi ini. Allahuakbar. Tersinggah dengan perkataan kebiasaan dan persediaan. Adakah umur seseorang tidak tertakluk kepada persediaan? Malah adalah satu kebiasaaan bagi seseorang melakukan sesuatu kerana kebiasaannya kalau umur sebegitu maka itulah kebiasaannya. Adakah saya juga tertakluk kepada persoalan kebiasaan dan persediaan itu? Adakah persediaan rapi dibuat untuk menghadapi masa masa yang mendatang? Sentiasa memohon petunjuk dan hidayah. Alllahuakbar.

never been...

Just a `syok sendiri'. Just being part of the game of mind and mystery. Truly a stranger to all others. Truly a stranger to me. How well do they know or try to know you? Just as good as the desert that has never been visited. Barren and  heartless. A vast of land that cares for nothing and nobody except themselves. Let it be a storm, a super one, like the one that has just visited the earth and the place could be anywhere and aiming at anybody, or just nobody. Allah memberi. Allah Yang Maha Pengasih lagi Penyayang. Allah is Great. Allahuakbar.

Active and offensive

Active and offensive...

Being aware of the doses of medicine one should take, life seems to take shape according to the power found in the doses. Sometimes we have been unfair to ourself. Little dose of medicine and we expect to be noticed. Why not be a little bit on the offensive and display more of a character of a superpower. Have the attitude of go and get it. Don't wait. Rezeki tidak datang bergolek. Allah tidak mengubah nasib seseorang jika kita tidak menampakkan kesungguhan dalam menghendaki sesuatu. Allahuakbar.

poket penuh, hati kosong, jiwa lara...

Allah Maha Mengetahui. Tetapi manusia jauh dari mengetahuinya. Ramai yang terkeliru. Ramai yang tertipu dengan gambaran yang ada kaitan dengan perkara perkara di atas atau yang ada persamaan maksudnya. Rupa cantik, kelakuan hodoh. Boleh di kembangkan. Nampak bodoh, rumah tersergam indah. Banyak yang tidak mencerminkan hati yang sebenarnya. Kenalah berwaspada terhadap serba perkara. Boleh dikupas. Dapat dan selalu di ulas. Tetapi ramai masih lagi menyimpang dan tersasar. Mengapa begitu? Hanya merasai kebenaran bila berada di sisi Allah. Mohon pertolongan dari Allah. Allah Yang Maha Luas ILMUNYA. Allahuakbar.

in a relaxing mood..

Find peace with myself. Well, it is about the change that has taken in the room I wrote what I have written. Sesungguhnya, dengan SENTUHAN MU Ya Allah, hamba mu ini merasakan kedamaian dalam diri dan hari. Allahuakbar.

process and doses...

Active and offensive...

Being aware of the doses of medicine one should take, life seems to take shape according to the power found in the doses. Sometimes we have been unfair to ourself. Little dose of medicine and we expect to be noticed. Why not be a little be on the offensive and display the character of a superpower. Have the attitude of go and get it. Rezeki tidak datang bergolek. Allah tidak mengubah nasib seseorang jika kita tidak menampakkan kesungguhan dalam menghendaki sesuatu. Allahuakbar.

idea, concept, image...

Governed by what? The place for self is the peaceful night and just experiencing a busy and hectic day, albeit thoughtful and mindful. It has been placed as such. It is good and productive for the day, and the serenity of the night would come naturally. Beware of the intensity in the brain and in the mind. The soul neutralizes so-called extreme heat in the mind, the brain, and the vast sentimentality of the heart. Islam we embraced. The goodness and the light in the name and path  of Islam. Allah is Great. Allahuakbar.

sentuhan dan SENTUHAN....

Tatkala hati kosong, tatkala dirasakan perjalanan hidup tidak ada mimpi dan tidak ada arah, maka di saat itu terasa satu sentuhan yang menerangi hati dan minda dan merasa semula jalan di dunia, sentuhan mimpi, malah lebih bermakna dan lebih terarah.

Sentuhan datangnya dalam bermacam cara dan rupa. Sudah bertahun tahun lamanya saya mengajar ilmu pemasaran kepada sejumlah pelajar yang tidak kira ramainya. Walaupun dirasakan saya mahir dalam hal ehwal ilmu tersebut, tetapi mengapa perlunya sentuhan dari luar dan dalam untuk bertiup semula semangat kemahiran tersebut?

Secara spesifik, sentuhan boleh mejelma dalam berbagai rupa dan bentuk. Pelawaan kawan untuk makan bersama pun dianggap satu sentuhan. Elemen tidak dijangka dan diduga dapat memberi pengertian sentuhan ini. Sudah lama saya tidak menjenguk kawan pensyarah ini. Semalam saya telah melawan arus hari dan masa, dan pergi mengunjungnya. Dirasakan kehadiran saya telah memberi satu sentuhan dan tiupan semangat ukuwah kepada persahabatan yang mungkin terputus jika tidak dilakukan sentuhan kunjungan seperti ini.

Sebaliknya berlaku dalam kerjaya saya menyampaikan  ilmu kepada pelajar. Sentuhan tidak dirasakan lagi. Pelajar masih mentah dan hidup dalam dunia mereka yang muda dan remaja. Nilai sentuhan yang saya katakan tadi tidak dilhamkan kepada mereka. Mereka hidup dalam dunia mereka sendiri banyak terarah kepada perkara dalaman mereka sendiri daripada terarah kepada perkara di luar.

Begitu juga dengan suasana dan tempat kerja, tidak ada sangat sentuhan yang diharapkan walaupun saya mencuba dengan melawan arus dalam perkara perkara  teretentu dan cuba melakukan sentuhan.

Hanya kepada Allah saya momohon kekuatan dalam menghadapi ujian dari Nya. Hanya kepada Allah saya memohon SENTUHAN yang Mengatasai Segala Sentuhan. Allah Yang Maha Besar. Allahuakbar.

Allah IS Great...

Allah IS Great. But how the Muslims take it? Majority takes it in their own strides of own feel and own feeling as a closed community at home. Does it sounds like a land full of dinosaurs? Or, are we still the dinosaur? Everywhere, regardless of where, they would want no resemblance of the host but it should be their identity inclusive, however the host nation declares it as not acceptable and in some circumstances illegal. Ya Allah, berilah hamba mu ini keampunan. Allahuakbar.

just in the shadowy sense..

Bergegas menunaikan solat kerana takut penutupan hati akan berlaku. Apabila hati telah tertutup maka juga jalan ke syorga akan tidak lagi kelihatan. Maka meraba raba lah perjalanan di dunia.  Penutupan siang dan malam tidak berlaku dan tidak bermakna. Lantas, tidak ada kesempadanan di segi hidup dan mati. Allah Yang Maha Berkuasa lagi menguasai Segala-GalaNya. Ya Allah. Berilah hamba mu ini keampunan. Allah yang Maha Besar. Allahuakbar.

The grand old consistencies...and conformist..

In a big way versus in a small way, majority are consistently ignorance of the fact we can  have everything and at the same time we care for nothing. The knowledge in marketing can tell you that. It is a worldly acceptable behavioral terms and norms. The choice for everybody are somewhat consistent and conforming. We gather and and we part from each other as though we can make or just break a relationship. But talian dengan Allah tidak akan terputus. Ia akan membawa kepada alam hisab, seterusnya ke alam titian dan menunggu sama ada syorga atau neraka. Allah is Great. Allahuakbar.

success logistics...

What comes first. What comes second. And so on and so forth. Does that matter? Why now? Why here? Why she? Why he? Why earth? Why 2012? Yesterday I have a dream. Oddly the point stressed in the dream is logistically questionable. Is it? Allah is Great. Allahuakbar.
