I was sitting in the library, looking out through the window while my stomach was rumbling because it's already lunch time.

I saw a very beautiful view in front of me and I wished I could drew the view and share it with you. Praise be to Allah, The One who has created everything with ease.

I could see the leaves on the trees moving with the direction of the wind. They formed harmonious combinations and they were in a full submission to the sunnatullah.

Alhamdulillah, I found peace in my heart by looking and contemplating the greatness and the beautifulness of Allah' creations just for a few minutes..just a few minutes...

What were we doing when our brothers and sisters are being murdered ? ..
What have we done to help?


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: ACTION ALERT INTERNATIONAL SOLIDARITY MOVEMENT
WE DEMAND AN INVESTIGATION!ISRAELI ARMY KILL FIVE MEN EXECUTION STYLE

According to medical examinations One child dead, three more in critical condition.

At 1:00am the Israeli Army attacked homes on Old Najav Street in Nablus, West of the old city. Five young men were killed and one eleven year-old girl. Medical examination evidence suggests the five men were executed.

These are war crimes.International Solidarity activists, who are presently accompanying UPMRC medical teams in the area, interviewed the Director of Rafidia Hospital, Dr. Samir Abu Srour, where the five men and the young girl were taken.According to Dr. Srour, four of the five men were shot in the head at close range. The bullets did not pass through their skulls and instead exploded the young men's heads, indicating that they were shot at close range. One man had a boot print on his chest, further suggesting that he was restrained before being shot.

In addition, one man had a bullet entering in his neck and exploding upwards, leaving blood stains high up on the wall. This angle and evidence strongly suggests he was shot after being detained, also at close range. Another man had knife cuts on his arm. All five were found in close proximity of each other. The eleven year-old girl was shot in the cheek while in her home by a soldier occupying a near-by house.

Another eleven year-old boy is in critical condition after being shot in the head with a rubber bullet at close range, dislodging part of his brain. One thirty-five year-old, mentally challenged man, was shot in the head and a thirty-three year-old man was shot in the femur. Both are in the intensive care unit.The number of dead is expected to rise.



THESE ARE WAR CRIMES!


According to eye-witness reports the Israeli army also occupied several homes and a church. They detained members of the church, including 13 disabled children and elderly men and women who are living in the centers belonging to the church. When the priest attempted to enter the church to check on the condition of the people, an Israeli soldier pointed his machine gun at his head and threatened to shoot him. They were forced to remain in one room without food or water until 12:00pm.

Just want to share this beautiful piece of thought from the book "La Tahzan" by 'Aaidh ibn Abdullah al-Qarni....nabda' bismillah.

Contemplate and be thankful

Remember the favors of Allah upon you and how they surround you from above and below-indeed, from every direction.

"And if you would count the graces of Allah, never could you be able to count them." [40:16]

Health, safety, nourishment, clothing, air, water - these all point to the world being yours, yet you do not realize it. You possess all that life has to offer, yet remain ignorant.

"He has completed and perfected His graces upon you, [both] apparent and hidden" [31:20]

You have at your disposal two eyes, a tongue, lips, two hands, and two legs.

"Then which of the blessings of your Lord will you both [jinns and men] deny? [55:13]

Can you picture yourself walking without feet? Should you take it lightly that you slumber soundly while misery hinders the sleep of many? Should you forget that you fill yourself with both delicious dishes and cool water while the pleasure of good food and drink is impossible for some, due to sickness and disease? Consider the faculties of hearing and seeing with which you have been endowed. Look at your healthy skin and be grateful that you have been saved from diseases that attack it. Reflect on your powers of reasoning and remember those that suffer from mental ailments.

Would you sell your ability to hear and see for the weight of Mount Uhud in gold, or your ability to speak for huge castles? You have been given abundant favors, yet you feign ignorance. Notwithstanding warm bread, cool water, easy sleep, and good health, you remain despondent and depressed. You think about what you do not have and are ungrateful for what you have been given. You are troubled by a loss in wealth, yet you have the key to happiness and many blessings. Contemplate and be thankful.

" And also in your ownselves [are signs], will you not then see? " [51:21]


Reflect upon yourself, your family, your friends, and the entire world that is around you.

"They recognize the grace of Allah, yet they deny it." [16:83]





Dah lama tak de perubahan di sini
Kelemahan penulis
Walau masa pantas berlalu
Kaki terus melangkah
Pengisian tidak bertambah


Sepanjang summer, jauh perjalanan
Moga InshaAllah dapat dikongsikan di sini nanti..


Bulan berganti lagi, kini ogos dan fall
semester baru bermula dan kita menuju ke kelas lagi...setelah cuti yang
berminggu-minggu lamanya
Apakah ada
azam baru atau semangat yang tinggi? Adakah keputusan semester lalu sudah
cukup baik atau ingin diulangi dan diperbaiki lagi..
Terus-menerus hari-hari kita tanpa henti..selagi nyawa masih ada... kita
kadang-kadang ingat, kadang-kadang lupa... siapa kita dan mau apa kita di
sini...




Du'aku agar Allah tambahkan ilmu di dada
Moga ilmu itu bermanfaat dan dimanfaatkan
