Reflections on Asbab: Tadabur mengenai Asbab

As I was going through some of my old sent messages to delete them, I found one in which I was relating to a friend that Allah doesn't need anything to 'make' or 'take' something.

For example, Allah made Maryam pregnant, without having to be impregnanted by a man (which is part of the natural law Allah made). Other examples include how Maryam was provided with out-of-season fruits without (or before the innovation of) refridgerators and courier companies, and Muhammad Rasulullah's journey from Makkah to Jerusalem and beyond without (or before the innovation of) cars, bullet trains, aeroplanes, space ships, etc.

To me this is an interesting topic to discuss because sometimes when I try to solve something, I often forget just how much Allah is 'involved' in it, and that whatever I do is merely to show Allah that I am putting in my efforts (to follow the natural laws He has set). And yet sometimes only when I am not able to solve something, only then do I turn to Allah- sometimes to the extent of 'hoping for a miracle'- because of the knowledge that Allah needs not any of my efforts to make or take something, He can just do it.

As humans, when we fail to solve or achieve something, we would wail: Why doesn't Allah make it happen? He has all the power to do so, so why doesn't He? or in contrary: Why did He make it happen? Why did He take it away?

How do you resolve these questions? Care to share?

Cerekarama: Ada pembaikan dalam pembikinan filem untuk TV

Alhamdulillah akhir-akhir ni slot Cerekarama pada sabtu malam ada memuatkan cerita-cerita yang banyak pengajaran di dalam nya. Tapi pada saya, yang penting ialah ia tidak 'stereotype' dan cliche. Apa maksud saya?

Well...menggunakan perkataan 'stereotype' boleh membawa banyak maksud, contoh nya kalau wanita, mesti lemah dan emosi, kalau ahli agama, mesti 'benci' pada "ahli maksiat"... tapi saya kini sedar perkataan stereotype kadang2 boleh jadi agak subjektif mengikut prejudis seseorang.

Walaubagaimana pun, saya ingin kongsi beberapa cerita yang saya rasa kan membawa kelainan dan inshaAllah membawa kesedaran seperti;

Surat Cinta Kepada Bunga & Perwira Agama

Assalamua'laikum Zainab...
Zainab, I named you after the first child of the sweet bond between a man named Muhammad bin Abdullah (peace be upon him) and Khadijah Binti Khuwailid.

I chose the name Zainab for you, because you are my first daughter, as Zainab was also their first daughter. I wanted to chose the name Rasulullah peace be upon him chose.

Zainab, your cooes, giggles and tranquility is very endearing to me. You are truly a breath of fresh air from heaven, a new dawn unfolding. Your peacefulness affects me my sweet. Thank you Allah for the chance to birth.

Musa lah cinta Ummi yang pertama dan abadi sebagai yang pertama selama-lama nya

Assalamua'laikum Musa,
Musa,
Musa lah baby pertama Ummi, you were my first everything and I love you very much. Sometimes I can get very angry and raise my voice at you, forgive me baby for my impatience. To me, you will always be my baby. You are my first love and I will always love you.
Musa lah hiburan hati Ummi, Musa. Maafkan Ummi atas ketelanjuran keterlanjuran Ummi dalam proses menjadi hamba Allah dan ibu. Proses ini takkan berhenti sehingga Ummi mati. Maafkan Ummi. Ummi sayang Musa. Terima kasih Allah untuk dua hadiah dan amanah ini.......Terima Kasih Ya Allah...........

Gaji saya

Saya telah dengan akal yang sihat pilih untuk 'duduk di rumah' (baca: jadi surirumah). Ramai yang fikir saya ni beban kepada suami, dan malahan membazirkan ilmu yang saya belajar selama 5 tahun di university. Tapi mereka salah kerana mereka tak tahu yang Allah BAYAR gaji saya dalam bentuk wang ringgit serta saya aktif dalam beberapa causes serta apply ilmu yang saya belajar di university dalam kehidupan saya. Sekian entry serba emo.

Never let them see you cry

Album: Vertigo


Title: Never Let Them See You Cry
(David Tyson/Billie Myers)

Never let them see you cry
Because tears will lead you nowhere
And nowhere walks a long and lonely road

Never let the liquid edges fall
Through the cracks o self doubt
Even if the doors are wide open
Assume the room is dark

So if misery likes company
Then why am I alone?
It's cold outside this double bed
Inside a single room

So never let them see you cry

You walked away and left me numb
Rock bottom took the fall
But I'd rather feel the pain
Than nothing at all

So if misery likes company
Then why am I alone?
It's cold outside this double bed
Inside a single room

So never let them see you cry
So never let them see you cry
So never let them see you cry
So never let them see you cry

Hak Anda Sebagai Pelanggan Doktor

Excerpt from Ust Zaharuddin's article: Doktor, Mekanik & Harga

pic googled

"Bayangkan, dalam kebanyakkan keadaan, orang ramai langsung tiada ‘kata' @ ‘have no say' untuk memilih ubat, semuanya di tentukan oleh doktor. Berbekalkan sangka baik kepada para doktor, semuanya redha dengan ubat yang dicadangkan oleh doktor, itu tiada isu"

My note:
1. You DO have A SAY. Anda berhak bertanya, tahu, diberitahu, mencari maklumat, memilih, menolak atau menerima anjuran doktor kerana ia adalah TANGGUNGJAWAB anda, badan anda dan duit anda.

2. Anjuran saya di sini pula BUKAN agar BERSANGKA BURUK kepada doktor, TETAPI fahami lah jua bahawa para ahli kedoktoran juga adalah MANUSIA BIASA yang ada kelemahan dan kelebihan oleh itu mereka MAMPU MEMBUAT KESILAPAN. Lagi-lagi dengan mesin-mesin seperti mesin ultra-sound yang BUKAN DAPAT MEMBERI DATA YANG TEPAT 100%.

3. Kesimpulan nya di sini ialah, ilmu doktor terbatas, teknoloji buatan manusia terbatas, dan ya, ilmu kita juga terbatas. Oleh itu, cari dan dalami lah ilmu yang di panggil CHILDBIRTH CLASS bila sudah berkahwin dan hamil. Wallahua'lam.
