"Osama bin laden mati"...... Rasa macam tak percaya pula. Sama tak percayanya dengan kejadian yang menimpa Saddam Hussain yang mati ditali gantung. Kalau lah benar berita itu,sungguh ianya satu akhir hidup yang tragik. Berbeza dengan USA dan rakyatnya yang menyambut gembira berita itu, meski dikabarkan Obama and the gank sebetulnya masih terkial-kial penuh debaran samada orang yang terbunuh itu benar Osama ataupun bukan. Tambahan pula dengan adanya foto yang dikatakan hasil super impose dan pernah heboh pada tahun 2009.
Pada saya, sosok Osama bin laden adalah sosok insan yang terpesong dari laluan Islam sebenar. Mungkin pada awalnya adalah benar, beliau dan talibannya hanya ingin "berjihad" menentang kuasa USA dan sekutunya. Tapi entah dimana silafnya, sedikit demi sedikit jalan yang mereka lalui mula menyimpang dari tujuan sebenar. Mereka kemudiannya sanggup menghalalkan segala cara untuk menentang kuasa barat dan menegakkan khilafah Islam versi Taliban tentunya. Bukanlah sesuatu yang aneh jika dalam berita disebutkan Taliban memotong telinga atau mebutakan mata petani atau orang awam yang disyaki mata-mata musuh,tanpa menyoal siasat dengan betul. Bagi mereka, hukuman segera perlu ditegakkan agar semua orang tetap tunduk dan setia pada Taliban yang "kononnya' adalah khilafah Islam sebenar di dunia ini. Natijahnya Islam bukan hanya dibenci oleh pihak Barat dan sekutunya, tapi membuat tekanan kepada umat Islam semakin bertambah. Islam menjadi makian dan juga buruan,sangat digeruni dan dianggap agama pengganas. Bak kata pepatah,"Kerana nila setitik, rosak susu sebelanga".Tak salah jika ingin menegakkan hukum Islam dan Khilafah Islamiyyah, tapi biarlah mengikut panduan yang diajarkan Rasulullah SAW. Islam sebagai agama samawi tak pernah mengajarkan berbuat keji dan kejam pada anak-anak, wanita,orang tua dan orang-orang yang tak bersenjata. Lalu dimana dalil aqli dan naqli-nya yang membenarkan bom berani mati di pasar-pasar atau tempat awam lainnya? Natijahnya, ramai umat Islam sendiri menjadi tertanya-tanya samada mereka berada di laluan benar atau tidak dan bahkan ada juga misionaris-misonaris "nakal" yang menggunakan isu ini untuk memurtadkan generasi muda Islam kita. Na'udzubillah.......
Islam adalah agama pembawa rahmat kepada semesta alam. Kerana itulah Rasulullah SAW diperintahkan untuk menyebarkan Islam dengan penuh rahmah dan hikmah, bukan melalui jalan kekerasan. Umat Islam pula ibarat sekumpulan lebah, hanya bertindak jika disakiti. Lalu dimanakah dalil aqli dan naqli-nya yang membenarkan penculikan dan pembunuhan terhadap orang-orang muslim dan non muslim yang dikatakan berkewarganegaraan barat?
Hakikatnya Osama tetaplah Osama, samada beliau dianggap syahid atau tidak,bukan lagi perkara penting. Biarlah Allah ta'ala yang menentukan.Yang pasti, kita harapkan tidak timbul lagi Islam garis keras atau fundamentalis atau pengganas atau apa pun label negatifnya dibawa selepas ini. Semoga "ketiadaan' beliau akan membuka lebih banyak mata bahwa dakwah bil hikmah akan lebih berkesan dan bahwa kekerasan dan keganasan bukanlah laluan yang betul untuk menegakkan Islam.
Jika anda ingin tahu lebih banyak apa itu jihad, apa itu syahid dan bagaimana hukum hakam perang dan khilafah Islamiyyah sebenar, mengapa tidak mempelajarinya dari Hamas dan Hezbollah? Bukankah mereka adalah gerakan dakwah dan jihad paling sempurna di era ini untuk dicontohi? Kerana bukan semata-mata dendam kesumat dan amarah yang menjadi "pembakar" tapi juga keinginan besar untuk meraih kecintaan dari Allah,Rasul dan Ahlul baitnya.
Selepas "ketiadaan" Osama, Obama dan USA ibarat macan tanpa taring. Manakan tidak, meski jutaan kali dikhabarkan mengenai hebatnya strategi dan taktik ketenteraan yang digunakan untuk membunuh osama selepas cubaan demi cubaan selama 10 tahun,ramai lagi yang tertanya-tanya....benarkah Osama itu wujud, mungkinkah beliau hanyalah karakter fiktif ala Tom dan Jerry yang sengaja diada-adakan USA sendiri untuk "masuk bakul, angkat sendiri"?....Mengapa mayat Osama mesti dibuang ke laut? Mana sensitiviti pihak Barat yang kononnya sangat memahami dunia Islam dan mau bersahabat dengan dunia Islam (sebagaimana yang dikatakan oleh Hillary Clinton dalam lawatannya ke malaysia tahun lepas)?.....Tidak sedarkah mereka tindakan sedemikian justeru akan makin memarakkan lagi api kebencian pada Barat dan sekutunya (Jadi Barat patut menyalahkan diri sendiri jika selepas ini bangkit pula Ayman atau siapaun orangnya yang akan meneruskan Islam garis keras;sendiri cari pasal namanya)
Bolehkah USA "hidup" tanpa figur seperti Osama? Tak kiralah siapa yang menjadi presidennya, USA tetap memerlukan "someone to blame",seseorang yang boleh menjadi kambing hitam. Seseorang yang boleh mengangkat nama besar USA sebagai polis dunia yang handal. Mungkin selepas ini tokoh-tokoh dari Iran pula yang menjadi target kerana kedegilannya tunduk kepada kuasa barat...atau mungkin juga tokoh-tokoh dari Korea Utara yang menjadi buruan kerana USA pantang kalah dan dikalahkan bab nuklear dan legasi ketenteraannya...atau mungkin juga Malaysia dan Indonesia kerana mempunyai "terlalu ramai" umat Islam? Wallahu'alam.

Mengada-ada
Manusia adalah makhluk ciptaan Allah yang paling sempurna. Dilengkapi dengan jasad,ruh dan akal, menjadikan manusia memiliki maqam yang lebih tinggi jika dibandingkan dengan golongan malaikat,jin ataupun haiwan. Hatta seumpama tiada agama di dunia ini sekali pun, manusia masih boleh "survive' dan "exist" dengan segala kelebihan yang dimiliki. Namun agama diturunkan sebagai satu panduan yang sempurna agar manusia tak tersilap langkah dalam kehidupan ini dan sekiranya tersilap langkah pun, tahu macam mana nak berpatah balik ke jalan yang diredhai-Nya.
Akan tetapi, adalah sangat disayangkan bahawa seringkali akal manusia digunakan untuk mencabar hukum Tuhan. Ambil contoh kaum Yahudi, dari dulu hingga sekarang, dari zaman berzaman asyik pertikai ini dan itu bab hukum Allah. Bahkan kaum Nasrani naik pening sendiri kerana ada banyak perjanjian dan kitab injil yang perlu diikuti.
"Mengapa takut bersumpah laknat?"...........alahai ini pula satu solan yang menandakan betapa rendahnya imu agama seseorang.
Kalau anda seorang muslim, cubalah teliti balik sejarah Rasulullah SAW, samada pernah membuat atau menjadi saksi sumpah laknat atau tidak. Jika ya, apa latar belakangnya?
Apakah dengan bersumpah laknat, "dan-dan" alias serta merta laknat Allah pada orang/kumpulan tertentu akan berlaku? Bukanlah kita nak pertikai kuasa Allah, dengan sekali Kun Fayakun, tiada yang mustahil bagi Allah, tapi, sekali lagi sebagai muslim dan insan yang tak pernah sunyi dari dosa, apakah sehebat itukah kita, sehingga boleh membuat Allah dengan serta merta menurunkan laknat-Nya pada pihak yang bersalah?
Pernahkah Rasulullah mengajari dan memberi contoh kepada kita untuk serta merta menghukum seseorang kerana ia bersalah,tanpa memberi peluang kedua kepada orang yang berkenaan? Lihat kembali sejarah ketika Rasulullah hendak meluaskan dakwahnya ke Thaif, bagaimana gigi dan muka suci beliau berdarah kerana terkena balingan batu dari penduduk kampung, sehingga Jibril AS pun "menawarkan" untuk menurunkan adzab kepada mereka, tapi sungguh rasulullah menegahnya kerana rasa kasih dan sayangnya dengan harapan mereka masih mau bertaubat. Tidakkah kita ingin mencontohi kemuliaan dan ketulusan hati Rasulullah SAW?
Sesuatu perkara, jika terkena kat orang, mungkin kita masih boleh buat tak peduli. Bagaiamana kalau terkena depan hidung sendiri? Bersederhanalah dalam bertindak. Apapun perkara yang berlaku, biasakanlah tabayyun/check and recheck. Lalu sekiranya benar berita yang datang, carilah bukti dan saksi yang kukuh. Lalu adililah dengan cara dan tuntunan kitabullah dan Rasulullah SAW.
Beringat-ingatlah,jangan mengada-adakan hukum Allah. Kalau tidak, mungkin kelak Allah pula yang akan murka kepada kita seperti murka-Nya kepada Yahudi dan Nasrani. Na'udzubillahhi min dzalik.

For Rizq (Sufficient Sustenance)
Once the Prophet's (saw) daughter Fatima Zehra (as) asked the prophet for a helper. The Prophet(saw) advised her to recite the following Tasbih which is now known as Tasbih e Zehra. This Tasbih is usually recited after each prayer.
However it also has great value for solving the problems of Rizq, Sustenance, Business, Job etc. The person should recite the tasbih with the niyat (intention) of seeking rizq (sustenance), before leaving the house ,before commencing business or before starting work at office.
34 times Allah o Akbar,33 times Alhumdolillah & 33 times Subhanallah
Inshallah rizq problems can be overcome with this.

Islamic Motivation: Inspiring Quotes
1) Never expect things to happen, struggle and make them happen. Never expect yourself to be given a good value, create a value of your own.
2) If a drop of water falls in lake there is no identity. But if it falls on a leaf of lotus it shines like a pearl. So choose the best place where you would shine.
3) Falling down is not defeat, real defeat is when you are refusing to get up.
4) Ship is always safe at shore, but it is not built for it.
5) When you are successful your well-wishers know who you are, but when you are unsuccessful you know who your well-wishers are.
6) Never take some one for granted, hold every person close to your Heart because you might wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond while you were too busy collecting stones.
7) The fragrance of flowers spreads only in the direction of the wind. But the goodness of a person spreads in all directions!
8) Knowledge is like a fruit. When a fruit grows on a branch of a tree, its weight causes that branch to bend and bow. Similarly, when knowledge increases in a person, it causes him to become humble and not Mutakabbir (proud and boastful).
9) Under the shade there is always darkness.

Islamic Story 23: A flying Tortoise
Long ago there were two Geese who regularly visited a pond to eat Fish. The Geese always had a chat with the lonely Tortoise living in the pond. They spent many days talking about different things and their acquaintance grew into friendship.
One day, when the Geese realized there were no more Fish in the pond, they decided to migrate to a new and larger pond up north. They conveyed their decision to their friend, the lonely Tortoise. The Tortoise felt sad and expressed his wish to go along with the Geese.
The Geese thought this is a very good idea. "Why don't we take lonely Tortoise along with us? Then we all can live together forever!"
The Tortoise was delighted, but soon realized the problem. "How can I go with you? Because I cannot fly."
The Tortoise was very disappointed that he would not be able to go with the Geese.
The Geese came up with a solution, "Don't worry. We have thought of a way to solve this problem. We will hold a stick between us. Hold onto the middle of the stick with your mouth. This way, we all can fly to our new location."
But, warned one Goose, "Our plan is good, but you have to be very careful. At no time during our journey you should open your mouth, for, if you do, you will fall from the sky and be smashed to death on the ground."
The Tortoise thought for a while and agreed to be sure to keep his mouth champed round the stick all throughout the journey," he said.
Once they were all set, the Geese and the Tortoise set off on their journey northwards. As they flew, they had to pass through many villages, where people came running out to see this strange sight.
"Look at the Tortoise. See how the Geese carry him between them." Shouted the children.
The Tortoise wanted to tell them that he was going with his friends to a new pond and that there was nothing strange in it, but he remembered his friends warning and kept his mouth shut.
Village after village, people ran after the strange flight. "A flying Tortoise!" some shouted.
The Tortoise soon began to swell with pride.
He thought to himself, "I am so great. All the villagers are running out to see me. If these Geese had not come with me, no one would have ever noticed them."
Every village that they passed, the Tortoise was greeted with cheering and shouting. Finally the Tortoise could contain himself no more. He opened his mouth to speak, "I am ..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, his hold on the stick was lost and he came hurtling through the air and fell on a rock with a loud crack. The poor Tortoise died on the spot.
The Geese flew sadly away. "If only he had not been so proud," they thought, "he would have been living happily with us."
Moral of the Story - "Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." or simply, "Pride comes before the fall." Bible, Proverbs (16:18)
Holy Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (saw) says: "Even if you do not commit any sins, I fear that you may fall into something which is worse: pride! pride!"
