Assalamualaikum wbt,
Kaifa haalukum? Khayr?
La'allakum bil khayr, insya Allah :)
Ana bil khayr jiddan, alhamdulillah :)
Dah lama tak update blog ni, maaf di atas ketidaksempatan masa. Baru sahaja melepasi satu exam pada Sabtu lepas, dan insya Allah ada lagi satu paper pada Sabtu yang akan datang ini.
Seminggu sebelum exam, mmg sibuk dengan project submission dan kerja2 pejabat, maka blog ini kasihan tidak berupdate.
Alhamdulillah, exam Finance was not bad. Lecturer minta jawab 5 soalan jek, saya jawab enam soalan bersekali dengan soalan bonus, 7 soalan kesemuanya saya jawab. Saya bebetul terlupa lecturer kata jawab 5 soalan jek. Takpelah, dah terbuat, nak buat camner, hehe.
Soalan bonus menyentuh ttg Gold Dinar, topik assignment saya, hentam je ler jawab, kalau dpt markah alhamdulillah, kalau tak takpe, sbb ianya soalan bonus sahaja :)
Ahad yang lepas saya, Ika, Hany ,Aida , Laili, Sok and Sarah Mamat memenuhi jemputan kakak dan abg kesayangan kami, iaitu pasangan pengantin Kak Aza and Abg Amir. Comel sgt derang, pakai baju pengantin warna pucuk pisang, tak sangka saya warna pakaian pengantin mereka sama dengan pakaian yang mereka kenakan ketika memenuhi jemputan kahwin Soosan 2 minggu lepas. Hehe, Ika mesti tak puas hati warna kegemaran dia diambil oleh Kak Aza. Dia mmg dah lama berangan nak kahwin dengan pakaian pengantin warna hijau pucuk pisang, kan Ika kan? Hehehe.
Dalam majlis tersebut saya berpeluang jumpa ramai orang yang saya dah lama tak jumpa. Saya jumpa abg2 saya di SRC dulu, Abg Keri, Abg Azril, Abg Jas, Abg Nazri, Abg Nizam..dan abg2 dan kakak2 yang pernah bekerja bersama untuk SRC dan IU dahulu. Abg Teghe, Kak Ayni, Kak Fauzan, Kak Aini wife Abg Keri, Kak Julia, Kak Kamy,segala-gala kakak yang saya dah lama tak jumpa saya jumpa di majlis tersebut.
Dan yang paling best, saya jumpa dengan adik2 yang pernah bekerjasama dengan saya ketika menjadi exco IU dulu. Ini keluarga usrah saya yang sebenar, susah payah kami bersama dulu ketika di MMU. Saya jumpa adik saya Mudin (pokcik ni mmg selalu jumpa, tak heran dah hehe), tapi saya jumpa Ise and Zarp!! Pokcik 2 orang ni mmg saya lama nak jumpa especially Ise yang dulu bekerja di Penang and sekarang sudah kembali ke Bangi. Rindu betul ngan karenah dia sorang ni. Selalu buat saya gelak, tak sangka bila dia pair ngan Mudin, lagi bertambah nakal adik saya sorang ni. Dedua bebetul kenakan saya malam tu.
Budak dua orang ni komen blog saya yang paling cacamarba, kejap sedih sgt, kejap tension sgt, kejap happy sgt. Ekekeke, saya tergelak. I think my life 2 tahun kebelakangan ni volatility level dia agak tinggi, extreme level dia melampau kadang2. Tak stabil lagi kot hehe. Kalau belajar Operation Management (paper exam yang akan saya ambil Sabtu ni), ada satu kaedah kita nak tahu samada process kita under control atau tidak. Kita namakan kaedah ini kaedah SPC.
Kaedah ini lebih kurang macam kalau kita tgk pasaran saham, kalau graphnya kejap tinggi melangit, pastu kejap-kejap menjunam, pastu naik balik, this is what we call as high volatily, kurang stabil sikit. I think my life skang ni mcm tu kot, not yet sampai tahap permanently stable. Tgklah biler boleh stabil balik mcm zaman Pre-U dulu (tak boleh nak compare zaman degree sbb zaman degree kehidupan mcm ni gak sbb busy dengan SRC dan segala mcm benda hehe), tapi apa pun, saya happy dengan kehidupan saya sekarang ni. Orang kata, high volatility, which means high risk, and dalam konsep asas Finance, high risk maksudnya high return. Saper yang tak nak high return,kan? Lagipun, high volatility menyebabkan saya tidak bosan dengan kehidupan saya, dan saya selalu aktif. And i like that, truly :)
Apa yang boleh di'conclude'kan, saya gembira dalam majlis Kak Aza yang lepas. Saya berpeluang berjumpa dengan warga MMU yang saya dah lama tak jumpa. Happy nampak pasangan pengantin gembira. Semalam saya tiba-tiba teringkat saat-saat saya di sekolah pondok di Kelantan dulu bersama Kak Aza, Hany, arwah Kak Nuun, Yati Bims dan Kak xx (isk luper pulak time ni, bebetul tak ingat). Kak Aza and arwah Kak Nuun yang bebetul jaga saya ketika saya demam teruk dek sbb mandi air perigi sejuk tahap naga kat sana sebelum Subuh. Sejuk sgt-sgt. Demam teruk saya kat sana sampai saya tak boleh nak bergerak and baring jek atas tilam, Kak Aza and Kak Nuun yang ambilkan wudhu' utk saya bersolat, pastu lumur segala asam jawa kat badan saya bagi kebah demam. Hany and Yati Bims time tu rasanya takde sebab derang kat umah Zainal sbb Yati pun demam jugak time tu.
Kat sana pengalaman best. Kami masak sendiri, waktu malam-malam buka kitab kuning yang sampai sekarang saya tak reti nak baca sbb ayat-ayat dia jenis panjang-panjang tak bernoktah. Kalau dalam satu perenggan tu, lepas habis baca 5 6 baris ayat baru leh jumpa noktah. Saya tak berapa reti nak baca kitab-kitab macam ni, so saya baca buku-buku moden sikit. Kat sana kehidupan mcm best sbb tenang, tak pk apa pun. Jadual harian kami selama seminggu di sekolah pondok:
1. Bangun pagi, pastu mandi air perigi yang sejuk tahap naga mengalahkan ais
2. Bersiap solat jemaah Subuh kat surau
3. Lepas solat subuh terus sambung kuliah pagi
4. Kol 10 baru balik pondok and buat ler apa yang nak buat sebelum masuk Zuhur (biasanya kami buka kitab and memasak yang simple-simple kejap)
5. Solat jemaah Zuhur pastu ada kuliah balik rasanya
6. Pastu balik pondok and buka kitab
7. Solat jemaah Asar
8. Solat Maghrib jemaah kat surau sampai Isyak
9. Balik lepas Isyak and buka kitab balik sambil sembang-sembang (hehe sembang-sembang privacy bercerita ttg dunia sket kekadang hoho)
10. Tidur, and kat sini first time saya tidur kena peluk dek org, terkejut dibuatnya tetengah malam tetiba ada tangan orang hinggap kat badan, tgk tgk ada sorang makcik sebelah saya dengan bestnya memeluk saya mcm peluk teddy bear kekeke (haaa..saper tuh??? baik mengaku, hehe)
So time kat pondok ni saya lebih kenal Kak Aza, Kak Nuun, Hany and Yati. Sebelum itu saya mmg tidak rapat dgn mereka. Yer ler, saya budak nakal sket dulu. Pergi kelas pun mmg hentam seluar jeans and T-shirt lengan pendek jer. Kat sekolah pondok tu ler baru belajar pakai jubah. Tu pun terasa hipokrasinya saya kerana saya tahu ketika itu saya taklah baik sgt, tak layak nak pakai pakaian orang2 baik mcm tu. And saya berterus terang dgn Kak Nuun mengatakan saya terasa hypocrite pakai jubah ketika itu, and Kak Nuun pujuk and bagi galakan suruh pakai. Balik dari sekolah pondok saya minta kawan saya buatkan tudung labuh untuk saya, and saya simpan tudung labuh tu untuk beberapa lama sebelum saya berani memakainya di kampus. Time tu betul-betul keberanian hati saya diduga, betul ker saya nak pakai tudung labuh ni? Apa kata orang nanti, malu ler nak pakai. Tapi dalam bulan Ramadhan saya kuatkan hati jugak pakai ke satu program usrah, and lepas tu saya terima message dr kawan-kawan lelaki minta pujuk gf2 mereka pakai tudung labuh jugak. Ekeke.
Tapi sayang, saya bertahan pakai tudung labuh sampai second year jek, third saya dah malas nak gosok tudung labuh sbb besar sgt and takde iron board kat bilik. Susah nak gosok. Jiran bilik di kampus dulu pernah marah kerana dia kata saya tak constant pakai tudung labuh, kejap pakai tudung kejap pakai tudung pendek. Saya kata, takpelah, asalkan masih menutup aurat. Sampai skang dah tak pakai lagi hehe.
Kenangan paling kelakar dulu ketika di pondok (actually kami pergi 2 pondok, pondok yang pertama tu reject kami sbb pihak pengurusan pondok time tu ingat kami mata-mata from KL sbb time tu zaman nak dekat pilihanraya, lepas kena reject tu kami berpindah ke pondok kedua, Pondok Sri Permai atas bantuan Zainal :). Pondok yang pertama tu tok gurunya bercakap Kelantan pekat, saya yang mmg 'dok gheti' nak cakap Kelantan ni lagi terasa haru sbb tak faham langsung apa ustaz ni cakap dalam our first kuliah, last-last saya ajak sorang anak murid ni berbual ttg perbezaan cara pembelajaran di sekolah pondok dan sekolah biasa. Derang anggap sekolah biasa ni sekolah sekular, huish, terasa sungguh time tu, yer ler sbb saya mmg bersekolah biasa sejak kecil lagi, tetiba kena cop sekolah sekular. Senyap je ler, tapi parent pelajar2 sekolah pondok ni betul2 iman derang kuat. Sanggup hantar anak-anak belajar ke Kelantan walaupun dari Sabah dan Sarawak. Kalau saya, mungkin tak sanggup kot. Kat pondok kedua tok guru yang mengajar tak mengajar dalam dialek Kelantan pekat, mmg faham ler apa yang tok guru ni ajar, alhamdulillah jugak ler kena reject oleh pondok yang pertama, kalau tak mungkin saya tak belajar apa-apa pun kat situ sbb saya mmg 'dok pehe' dialek pekatnya. Mmg tension jugak ler time tu sbb saya kena dgr betul2 pastu main agak2 jek apa yang diajar. Tu yang last2 fed up pastu jadi jahat ajak anak murid lain pi sembang hehe.
There goes my story with my 3 sisters (Kak Aza, Kak Nuun and Kak xxx, and with Hany and Yati Bims). The experience of life during our pondok program di Kelantan dulu was so nice, and i won't forget it for my whole life, insya Allah :) I love them the most among the others, sbb mereka ada bersama dengan saya ketika saya gembira, dan ketika saya jatuh sakit teruk di sana. Mmg tak ramai yang kongsi pengalaman susah dan sakit saya, hanya mereka yang betul betul rapat dgn saya. Yang tahu dan faham hanya sedikit, geng2 rapat saya sahaja, Ika, Jie, Siha, Farah Wahidah, Hany, Zainal, Rahimi, Mizie, Kak Iqin, Kak Wiyah, Abg Faizal dan Abg Nazri. These people orang yang pernah saya kongsikan perasaan sedih, gembira dan sebagainya. And i'm glad i had the chance to know them and become part of their lives. Very grateful actually :)
Ok, panjang dah catatan saya, saya belum start study pun lagi untuk paper saya Sabtu. So again, doakan saya bit taufiq wan najah k, utk exam dan dunia akhirat. Barakallah untuk mereka yang sudi mendoakan saya, saya pulangkan doa tersebut pada kalian, moga rahmat Allah selalu bersama antum semua.
P/S : Kenangan paling lucu ketika menemani Hany menziarah rumah Zainal kat Kelantan dulu, makan mangga bersama Hany, Ummi dan Abah Zainal. Time tu saya tanya apa nama mangga ni, Ummi Zainal kata 'Mahite'. Saya pun pelik tapi kagum jugaklaa buah mangga Malaysia ni ada nama Jepun. Ummi Zainal tergelak sakan biler saya kata saya kagum mangga tu ada nama Jepun. Rupa-rupanya nama mangga tu sebenarnya ialah Emas Hitam, biler orang Kelantan sebut jadi mahite, alaaaahai, malu giler saya time tu kat ummi and abah Zainal. Nampak sgt dok gheti kecek kelate ekeke. Tapi takpe, skang ni dah terer skek, sbbnya adik perempuan saya Eqa mmg terer giler kecek kelate kat umoh sampai ogha mmg ingak dia oghe kelate, sbb dulu dia belajar kat USM, ghama laa pulok set2 kelate jadi kawe dio kat sana tu.
Takpelah, pengalaman best gak actually.
Ok guys, later k. Wassalam.

CoLLaPsE
Assalamualaikum wbt,
Sorry guys, it was funny for someone yang promote event giler2, and at the end she was the one yang tak attend the promoted event.
Hehe.
It was unexpected. I really had planned myself to go to Xpressi Nisa' 2005, but rezeki saya tiada di sana.
Why?
Saya collapse pada pagi Isnin selepas 2 malam sebelumnya saya menyiapkan 2 project hingga ke santak pagi yang menyebabkan saya migraine sepanjang hari Sabtu. And my life schedule was totally screwed up during last weekends sebab nak completekan these 2 assignments.
Being a perfectionist (again!) and jenis yang tak suka hantar assignment and project ala kadar, menyebabkan saya sanggup tak tidur untuk furnishkan mana-mana data yang saya rasa tak lengkap selepas compilation made by one of my group members. Saya rasa tak puas hati dgn group assignment saya sebab saya rasa kalau saya yang jadi lecturer yang tanda paper kami tu, saya sendiri tak sanggup nak bagi A sbb the expectation was not met there, seriously. Macam paper waktu degree dulu, rasanya kalau degree dulu lagi bagus kot dari yang mine ni. So i updated parts that i think is crucial, and updated the presentation slide as well.
My topic is Gold Dinar, and this topic had taught me lots of how our monetary system is working today. What is the role of IMF, WTO and World Bank. This topic is so huge because you need to dig out the history of gold usage for trade currency since zaman before Rasulullah (and ada hadith ttg penggunaan emas, dirham dan gandum sbg bahan tukaran) until what is happening to US dollar depreciation today. What are the impacts etc.
However, looking at my other classmates' assignments, lagi membuat hati saya takut sbb mereka banyak deals dgn beta and rho market, KLCI and KLBOR (saya tak ingat apa benda 2 item ni, but something related to share market), ada yang buat perbandingan insurans conventional and Islam and investment portfolios comparison, and i really cannot take those topics as my assignment coz i totally blank about those things!
Finance, this subject is interesting, but i'm not expert in it. I couldn't think about the share market rite now, what will happened to the other side of the world when US dollar depreciates/appreciates, man, this is just not my field.And furthermore, to study the votality of the market etc etc. Aiyaa..I really blank about all these, seriously. Alhamdulillah, i am stick with my decision to take Strategic Management as my specialization.
Dun carelah what other people used to think and say this to me "Rugi tau Iena tak ambil Finance sbb you dah ada background Accounting". Yeah rite, i wish i'm good in contemplating those formulas, manipulate them and use them for my own purposes.
But the reality is that i'm not doing Finance eventhough i'm in Finance Group rite now. Therefore the probability that whatever things i'll learn for several becoming semesters if i take Finance as my specialization might become thrash if i dun put effort to jump into a 'real' Finance division.
I'm not good in calculations, i have to admit it. Hence, i shall strive to do something that has become my strength all this while, which is management.
I think i'm more comfortable with Strategic Management as compared to Finance, let alone Islamic Banking (if i'm working in bank instead of TM rite now, i'll be taking this specialization rasanya) and General Management. Hehe.
During my Gold Dinar presentation, i proposed the OIC to be replaced with an Islamic Union to match with European Union where they use Euro dollar as their trading currency. I proposed we have our own Commonwealth as well. My lecturer smile sampai ke pipi biler dgr idea ni.
In theory mmg mcm best boleh form another body for Muslim, but in practical it is quite hard. Negara-Negara Arab and Mesir had their sovereignties in the US hand, therefore not so much that we can do about it. My lecturer said they won't listen to this idea. But who cares rite, as long as we had proposed. At least we had thought about it. And at least we had produced a paper about this idea.
:)
Alrite guys, sorry again for i had dissapointed you guys for not coming to the program yesterday (especially Ainul sbb dia SMS to me tanya mana kakak model dia sorang nih hehe). But it wasn't my initial plan actually. My body had just collapsed,i think my body had qadha' the sleep that i did not take very well for the 2 nights before, and on the bed i lied for several hours until 12 p.m before i woke up and made some lunch for my sister yang nak balik asrama. Really tired and exhausted.
And yup, i went to Soosan's wedding held in Palace of The Golden Horses last Sunday with Farra and Deman. Jumpa Yaya my roommate di pre-U dulu, giler rindu ngan dia. Pastu jumpa Zura and sempat wish birthday in advance pada dia kot kot terlupa (her birthday sama date dgn me, tu yg boleh ingat tu), pastu teka saya jumpa siapa lagi?
Bakal pengantin pada 29 May ini....
Abg Amir and Kak Aza!!!
Wawawa, dedua pakai baju warna sedondon, kaler hijau pucuk pisang. Jenuh aa dua org ni kena sakat dek pakai baju warna sama. Takpe, next week these 2 guys akan pakai baju warna yang sama gak sekali lagi (baju pengantin) hehe :P
Last but not least, i had promised to Fahmee Gorgom that i will promote his mineral water in my blog. He is starting his own small business and now he is selling mineral water. So sesaper yang nak order, please don't hesitate to call him at 03-55186478 k.
Alrite guys, ma'assalamah.
Mungkin tiada update lagi selepas ini sebab perlu concentrate on my final exam this becoming Saturday and next week.
Pray for my success k.

Kaedah pengajaran bahasa arab dalam kelas ini mungkin berbeza sedikit daripada cara pakcik atau makcik kita belajar bahasa arab dulu-dulu. Untuk memudahkan pelajar mengingati beberapa pelajaran yg memerlukan penggunaan memori dan hafalan, mereka akan disuruh menyanyi. Mereka juga tidak diberi peluang untuk berasa boring atau tension semasa kelas sedang dijalankan. hehehee..
Nak dengar camne kitorang nyanyi? Bleh check radio blog kat sidebar menu sebelah ni, then klik kat ‘Arabic Class - wazan 10′ (blogwriter: you may find the radio in this blog: http://sn78.blogsome.com) Banyak lagi lagu-lagu berentak sentimental dan kontemporari akan kalian pelajari sepanjang kelas.
----
Pendapat peribadi saya: a different way/approach/method of learning.. best la juga:)
************************************************************************************
Copy and paste dr blog Ika (utk saper-saper yang malas nak pegi ke blog dia :D)
Sajer tolong promotekan kelas Bahasa Arab kat tempat Ika.
And guys, if you are interested, UIA pun ada offer Arabic for Public dr level 1 sampai Lanjutan 3. You might join the course based on your existing knowledge and skills in Arabic, not necessary join from Level 1 as your starting class. Kalau agak2 dah terer, terus jer jump kelas level 2 or 3, or kalau lagi power bleh terus masuk Lanjutan.
Kelas Level 1-3 banyak membincangkan nahu, and kelas Lanjutan dah masuk bab advance which is communication and review Al-Quran and Hadith.
Here is the URL for you to refer if you are interested to join:
http://www.iiu.edu.my/arabic/kuba/
Classes will be expected to start on this becoming 1st June. Yuran is RM 470 utk satu semester (4 months).
Hati sudah berbelah bahagi nak join ker tidak kelas Arab sesi ini.
I had left the class since September last year.
Rindu, tapi tidak pasti mampu nak bawa atau tidak, since my new job lebih banyak memerlukan analisa dan tumpuan berbanding kerja lama.
MBA...personal life...TV...CD..heheh
Jahat ek? Siap boleh consider TV dalam schedule hidup :P
Actually tak sempat pun nak tgk TV skang ni, beli paper hari ni, esok baru baca dek sebab tak sempat kekadang.
Masa itu amat mahal sekarang ni. Mahal yang amat!
Wassalam.

************************************************************************************
Copy and paste dr blog Ika (utk saper-saper yang malas nak pegi ke blog dia :D)
Sajer tolong promotekan kelas Bahasa Arab kat tempat Ika.
And guys, if you are interested, UIA pun ada offer Arabic for Public dr level 1 sampai Lanjutan 3. You might join the course based on your existing knowledge and skills in Arabic, not necessary join from Level 1 as your starting class. Kalau agak2 dah terer, terus jer jump kelas level 2 or 3, or kalau lagi power bleh terus masuk Lanjutan.
Kelas Level 1-3 banyak membincangkan nahu, and kelas Lanjutan dah masuk bab advance which is communication and review Al-Quran and Hadith.
Here is the URL for you to refer if you are interested to join:
http://www.iiu.edu.my/arabic/kuba/
Classes will be expected to start on this becoming 1st June. Yuran is RM 470 utk satu semester (4 months).
Hati sudah berbelah bahagi nak join ker tidak kelas Arab sesi ini.
I had left the class since September last year.
Rindu, tapi tidak pasti mampu nak bawa atau tidak, since my new job lebih banyak memerlukan analisa dan tumpuan berbanding kerja lama.
MBA...personal life...TV...CD..heheh
Jahat ek? Siap boleh consider TV dalam schedule hidup :P
Actually tak sempat pun nak tgk TV skang ni, beli paper hari ni, esok baru baca dek sebab tak sempat kekadang.
Masa itu amat mahal sekarang ni. Mahal yang amat!
Wassalam.

Hmm..lamanya tak join Nisa' sejak dah buka sem baru. Kak Mas baru sajer telefon semalam while she's driving sbb dia kata dia teringat to me hehe.
I have to admit that i had skipped so many perjumpaan since most of the meetings were conducted during weekends, where i do have classes to attend.
I felt sad over here, because i know very well those people who are working very hard for Nisa'. I know they are struggling to ensure Nisa is working to facilitate those young muslimah yang ingin mengenal dan memberi sumbangan kepada Islam. I really feel a lil bit guilty for couldn't be with them much and give them support other than du'a at this moment.Just couldn't.
I am pursuing my studies, insya Allah sebagai satu cara untuk contribute kepada Islam juga in a way. I think one day i will resort becoming a lecturer instead of becoming the CEO of my own company or BOD of TM hehe (berangan jek Zurina nih!). I know what i want to do, and i hope the things i'm doing now can be counted as contribution to Islam juga.
Kak Mas is so nice, she asked me to promise that after i have completed my Master, i must get back to Nisa. She really nice as she understands how life can be hectic at certain times, especially when you are studying while working. I have to admit that at certain times, i sometimes do feel regret of taking MBA especially when it comes to pressure times, dalam hati mesti kata 'naperlaa aku rajin sgt ambil master ni, kalau tak tak payah ler penat otak nak ambil exam balik,nak kena buat assignment and project balik, mesti best lepak kat umah tgk TV ker, kuar jenjalan ker kalau tak ambil master..". Tu dalam keadaan in mid-pressure ler, kalau dah tahap superhigh pressure, akan adalah insan sorang ni menangis-nangis sbb tak tahan pressure :D. Sungguh mencabar, tak percaya tanya Rahimi, dia pernah seminggu tidur pukul 2 pagi nak siapkan assignment hehe.
Tapi itu adalah cabaran yang Allah beri, dalam usaha menuntut ilmu.
Dan cabaran saya tidaklah sehebat cabaran sahabat-sahabat saya yang lain, dan kalau dikira weightage keberatan dugaan ke atas saya berbanding yang lain, agaknya saya punya tak sampai 0.0000001% kot.
Tu pun masih nak mengeluh lagi.
Tu pun tak tahu nak bersyukur lagi.
Ok guys, jumpa di Dewan Perniagaan, Glenmarie, Shah Alam pada 23 Mei kalau ada jodoh dan rezeki kita di sana.
Hany, saya pergi insya Allah (nampak gayanya saya tak tidur malam ler seminggu ni utk siapkan laporan mesyuarat pengurusan untuk meeting next week, dan juga untuk submissions by end of this week)
Wassalam.

Buih, Gold Dinar dan Misi
Assalamualaikum wbt,
Maaf di atas kunjungan tidak bermakna kalian 2 3 hari ini, kerana saya tidak cukup tangan untuk meng'update' blog seminggu ini.
Sedang bergelut dengan masa untuk menghabiskan 3 submission untuk dihantar di dalam minggu ini, dan kemudian next week saya akan menjalani satu proses 'hibernasi' berikutan final exam saya akan menjelang.
Sedang mengkaji ttg Gold Dinar, lecturer saya menulis sebuah buku untuk tajuk ini. Idea yang dibawa oleh Dr Mahathir mengenai penggunaan Gold Dinar ke dalam urusan dagangan antarabangsa oleh negara-negara Islam.
Mengapa ia diperkenalkan? Tak bagus ker 'monetary sistem' applied sekarang ni?
Globally, kita menggunakan 'fiat money' or paper money to transact, and we also deal with the fractional reserve rate used by banks for money supply in modern economy ni.
3 factors that have been identified as the contributing factors for economic recession, inflations and instability of market are these 2 items, plus with the interest rate.
My lecturer, Prof Dr Ahmed Kameel Mydin Meera from UIA had produced a book on Gold Dinar, and if you want to have a brief overview on how economy works today, his book give a very simple,understandable and very selamba description as he used 'roti canai' as one of his examples in the book. Very2 simple and prone to Malaysian culture.
Let me explain this way on how money creation and these 3 factors affect our economy:
1. Fiat money (paper money) - this money has no intrinsic value as it did not pegged to any commodity or wealth
2. Fractional reserve rate - the proportion of money that Central Bank imposed for the commercial banks to keep and the rest can be supplied back to the market as 'loan'. (Let say Central Bank, in Malaysia is Bank Negara Malaysia had imposed 10% reserve rate, and we assumed that a bank had received a deposit with an amount of RM 1000. 10% of this RM 1000 which is RM 100 must be kept by bank, and another 90% can be used for investment or loan. When banks give loan, they actually create more money in the market, and if there is no control by Central Bank, there will be a time where the asset price bubbles will comes in, cthnya kita akan tgk orang beli sabun dengan harga RM 100 sebab duit dah banyak sgt and value jatuh (cthnya Indonesia yang tukaran duitnya beribu-ribu rupiah).
Note to Cpol, kalau anta pi Indonesia, jgn lupa bawak ole2 ek, barang sana murah2, duit anta kan beribu-ribu nanti kat sana hehe.
3. Interest rate - the rate itself is a tool to create more money in the market. Kalau pinjam duit tanpa interest, there will be no money created in the market.If you pinjam bank untuk beli kereta dengan kadar interest, let say 4%, if you can realize that actually the interest of 4% tu sendiri akan create more money to the existing money in the market.
Above all, the first factor which is the 'fiat money' is the biggest contribution to any bad economic situations nowadays.
Why?
Because the money could be easily printed by any government, let alone those counterfeit activities that could easily add money into the market.
And, we also must know that the value of this 'fiat money' is not stable as it does not pegged to any commodity, therefore it is very vulnerable and always lead to speculations (kes Soros attack Asian countries in 1997 dulu). People can make money by speculating (we call this as arbitrage) easily by buying some currencies, and then sell them for some other currencies pulak. The variance will be the profit for you as the trader.
As all these problems had been identified, a solution has been proposed.
The Gold Dinar.
This is not new to us, since zaman sebelum Rasulullah lagi manusia sudah menggunakan emas sbg medium pertukaran, dan kemudian dunia menggunakan wang kertas yang mempunyai value emas, tetapi kemudian berikutan masalah wang yang mempunyai nilai emas tetapi jumlah yang dicetak melebihi jumlah emas yang ada menyebabkan sistem matawang ketika itu runtuh,dan kemudian mata wang dibiarkan 'float' mengikut market demand and supply dan kita menggunapakai sistem itu hingga ke hari ini.
Dengan Gold Dinar, all these problem could be lessen if they could not be totally eliminated.
Dgn nilai yang stabil dan tiada interest rate (inilah sbbnya Islam tidak menghalalkan riba, menyebabkan org lagi susah sebenarnya), maka masalah ekonomi kurang berlaku.Walaupun emas masih boleh dispekulasi, tetapi agak sukar sebenarnya, tidak sesenang membuat spekulasi menggunakan 'fiat money'.
Trust me, kalau negara2 Islam opt untuk menggunakan Gold Dinar sepertimana negara2 Kesatuan Eropah menggunakan Euro dollar, negara-negara Islam akan maju dan kuat. Kita tidak bergantung kepada US dollar lagi, and international trade among these countries akan lebih transparent dan berdaya saing yang lebih tinggi.
Isunya, adakah negara-negara Islam mahu ambil kaedah ini? Walaupun sekadar menjalankan trade bersama negara-negara Islam dan bukan secara terbuka dengan negara-negara umum lainnya?
Kita tahu negara-negara Islam yang kaya seperti Arab Saudi dan Jordan punya close ties with US. Mahukah mereka sacrifice hubungan baik mereka dengan US semata-mata mahu membantu negara-negara Islam lain? Saya rasa tidak (but i hope they will one day, i hope)
Buktinya kita sudah ketahui lama, iaitu Perang Iraq. Until now i feel like to curse those Islamic leaders who support the invasion of Iraq, seriously. Sekejam-kejam US, kita tahu dia adalah golongan kuffar yang mmg sudah diketahui niatnya untuk menghancurkan Islam, tetapi negara-negara Islam yang membantu invasion tersebut?? Apa hak mereka untuk menumpahkan darah saudara sendiri sedangkan dalam Islam, orang-orang kafir pun perlu dipelihara harta, maruah dan keselamatan mereka sekiranya mereka bersetuju untuk hidup di dalam negara Islam dan bersetuju dengan perlaksanaan undang-undang Islam.
Biler tgk keadan mcm ni, selalu teringat ayat Al Quran yang mafhumnya mereka menukar akhirat dengan dunia dengan kadar yang sungguh sedikit. Marah betul dengan org2 Islam mcm ni, bukannnya nak membantu, tapi lagi menghancurkan.
So dengan keadaan mcm ni, macam mana kita nak implement Gold Dinar? Negara yang setakat ni berminat ialah Iran, yang mana kita tahu mereka mmg anti US sket. Kalau tiada semangat satu padu antara Islamic countries, sampai bila2 kita akan lemah sebegini. Satu kenyataan pahit yang perlu kita sedar, hampir 80% negara-negara termiskin datangnya dari negara-negara OIC, and siapa yang menganggotai OIC? Negara-negara Islam.
One more fact is that ramai Westerners yang suka idea Gold Dinar ini, termasuk Robert Mundell, a Nobel prize winner (tak tahu dia menang for which category). Kalau org non-Muslim pun favour to this idea (sbb by implementing Gold Dinar, banyak masalah ekonomi dunia akan dapat diselesaikan, dan secara kolektif membawa kepada pembangunan dan kesejahteraan hidup manusia sbb takde recession, takde inflation dan semua org boleh enjoy living dgn aman sejahtera), takkan orang Islam tidak mahu menyambut idea ini.Rugi, sangat rugi kalau tak diimplementkan. I do hope ramai Islamic countries yang akan willingly participate to this idea. Dr Mahathir dah lama war warkan idea ini, until today tidak dapat diimplementkan lagi.
Sebab apa?
Tiada keahlian yang cukup. No strong system being established yet.
Spain adalah negara paling tidak efektif di negara-negara eurozone, tetapi kalau dibandingkan dengan negara-negara Islam, ia berada di kedudukan yang jauh lebih tinggi kerana ekonominya dibantu oleh kesatuan Eropah.
Dan kita?
Di mana kesatuan kita, sebagai umat Islam yang amat ramai bilangannya di muka bumi ini?
Kita umpama buih-buih di lautan, tidak berdaya dan amat lemah walaupun bilangannya ramai.
Itukan analogi yang Rasulullah pernah sampaikan kepada para sahabat?
Sampai bila kita tidak mahu bersatu?
Sebab perbezaan fahaman politik pun, kadang-kadang lagak gaduhnya mcm ada anak isterinya yang mati.Bertumbuk bagai semata-mata mengejar kuasa.
This is not the time for you to claim you are representing this and that, and cannot work together because of different platforms and matlamat perjuangan. We are all muslims, with a mission to do.
With a MISSION to do.
You know what it is.
Wassalam.

Bekal kembara
Assalamualaikum wbt,
(1) Bekal kembara
Setiap hari, setiap detik, kita bernafas...
Dan setiap tika itu juga, sebenarnya destinasi kembara kita menuju Allah semakin hampir...
Sudah beratkah bekalan kita menuju ke dunia sana?
Berat dosa, atau berat pahala?
Istighfarlah selalu, dan peliharalah iman sentiasa.
~Pelihara kami Ya Allah, kami sering terleka dengan pesona dunia ~
(2) Rindu
Seusai solat, saya merenung gambar Kaabah yang terlekat di dinding surau.
Dalam hati "Rindunya hendak pergi dan sujud di rumahMu Ya Allah"
Kemudian terdetik lagi di hati..
"Mengapa rindukan rumah sedangkan tidak kepada Yang Empunya Rumah?"
Termalu sendiri, tidak ikhlas namanya hanya mahu khusyuk dan rindu di certain2 tempat dan tidak pula di certain2 tempat.
Allah kan sentiasa memerhatikan kita,tidak kira di mana kita berada.
:)

Economic and leadership Revolutionists
Assalamualaikum wbt,
Saya singgah ke ofis untuk membuat business and personal planning, dan mengemas meja kerja yang agak tidak terurus since seminggu yang lepas agak busy menguruskan KPI worksyop sehingga segala dokumen tidak dimasukkan ke dalam fail kerja.
Enggan untuk menunda membuat business and personal planning ke esok sebab saya pasti, saya akan mendapat migraine kerana sejak Khamis lepas sehingga semalam, migraine datang menyerang walaupun tidak ganas berikutan sedikit tekanan yang terasa di dalam mesyuarat KPI division saya, dan esok saya menjangkakan perkara yang sama akan berlaku.
Kenaikan harga diesel
Pada mulanya saya betul-betul terkejut apabila kerajaan mengumumkan kenaikan harga diesel. Seperti yang dijangkakan, ramai yang mengeluh dan membantah.
Saya juga turut bersimpati dnegan golongan-golongan yang akan menanggung beban kenaikan ini, dan pastinya tidak dapat dielakkan harga kenaikan barang akan terjadi berikutan kos pengeluaran meningkat. Siapa yang akan menanggung beban? Kita semua, sebagai pengguna.
Pak Lah menjelaskan pengurangan subsidi adalah kerana kerajaan tidak mampu menanggung kos subsidi lagi, dan selaras dengan itu mengeluarkan statement on 3 bad habits utama yang perlu dibuang untuk mewujudkan suasana produktiviti yang lebih fokus dan kompetitif, dan salah satunya adalah pengurangan kebergantungan kepada subsidi kerajaan.
Dilihat dari sudut ekonomi jangka panjang, saya bersetuju dengan pendapat Pak Lah. Untuk mendapat sesuatu, kadang-kala kita terpaksa bersusah sedikit. Bak kata orang putih, 'No pain, no gain'. Untuk mewujudkan skala produktiviti yang lebih bagus, Malaysia terpaksa resort kepada penyelesaian drastik ini untuk menjadikan Malaysia ini lebih kompetitif. Sebarang usaha niaga perlu bekerja lebih keras untuk mendapatkan untung berbanding meletakkan usaha yang tidak sepenuhnya kerana adanya subsidi kerajaan.
Dan Pak Lah juga mengambil risiko menjadi pemimpin tidak popular di arena politik dan juga negara dengan mengambil tindakan ini kerana kita pasti, imejnya akan terjejas berikutan kegagalan beliau di dalam mengawal kenaikan harga yang tidak perlu dan menyusahkan para pengguna. Beliau berani mengambil risiko ini dan tidak mengarahkan Bank Negara untuk mencetak wang yang lebih banyak untuk substitute pengurangan subsidi kerana saya yakin, dia tahu effect penambahan wang di dalam pasaran akan menyebabkan nilai RM akan menjadi lebih rendah, dan juga apabila wang banyak dikeluarkan di dalam pasaran, pengguna akan lebih banyak punya wang untuk berbelanja, menyebabkan demand ke atas barangan meningkat, seterusnya akan menghasilkan kenaikan harga barangan secara purata which will cause the inflation to happen sekiranya pengeluar barangan tidak dapat memenuhi demand pasaran. End of result, pengguna Malaysia akan lebih suffer berikutan peningkatan harga barangan secara constant walaupun tidak secara mendadak sekiranya terjadi sedemikian. Sekiranya Pak Lah gilakan populariti dan inginkan kesinambungan keyakinan rakyat ke atas kepimpinannya, pastinya dia akan mengambil langkah mencetak wang dan mengelakkan risiko ketidakpuasan hati rakyat dengan mengurangkan harga subsidi ini.
Saya setuju dengan tindakan ini, kerana saya faham economical impactnya ke atas Malaysia.
Yang saya tidak setuju, kerana statement yang menyatakan bahawa subsidi diesel sebelum ini dinikmati kebanyakannya oleh pengguna yang mampu memakai Roll Royce. Kita kena faham bahawa wealth distribution di Malaysia tidak even, 80% keuntungan dan kekayaan Malaysia ini merely dinikmati oleh 20% golongan elit. Jadi wajarkah sekiranya subsidi ini dikurangkan hanya dengan mengambil kira 20% elit ini, yang 80% rakyat marhaen ini tidak pula?
Sekiranya economic wealth distribution of Malaysia ini seimbang dan kekayaan Malaysia ini dikongsi sama rata, 100% elimination of subsidy pun takpe, kita terima. Kita mempersoalkan mengapa tiada keseimbangan di dalam wealth distribution di Malaysia, mengapa kekayaan hanya dinikmati oleh segolongan rakyat dan yang selebihnya hanya mendapat picisan, dan kemudian sebarang economical decisions yang diambil oleh kerajaan tidak mengambil kira maslahah golongan 80% ini? Untuk mempersalahkan Pak Lah, saya kira tidak wajar kerana saya terjumpa satu kata-kata yang saya baca di Kinokuniya semalam 'Hasil yang terjadi pada hari ini adalah disebabkan formulasi polisi pada 30 tahun yang lepas' (translate dlm BM sbb lupa yang Englishnya).
Saya berbincang dengan salah seorang sahabat sekuliah yang bekerja di Lembaga Hasil, bertanya mengapa sekarang ini subsidi kerajaan dikurangkan, termasuk subsidi education (lecturers saya di UIA sudah memberitahu kami tahun lepas bahawa beberapa tahun lagi kerajaan akan menamatkan subsidi pelajaran ke semua IPT) dan yang paling teruk, subsidi kesihatan sedangkan kedua aspek ini adalah perkara basic necessities? Saya betul-betul tidak bersetuju bantuan subsidi dikurangkan untuk kedua-dua aspek ini.
Sahabat saya menjawab 'Kerajaan tidak ada duit kerana banyak terlibat dengan projek-projek mega dahulu'.
Katanya, kerajaan tidak berfikir panjang dahulu sebelum resort kepada projek-projek mega, dan kini kita menerima akibatnya. Tidak salah untuk resort kepada projek-projek tersebut, tapi jangan sampaikan bebankan rakyat.
Dan kini saya terfikir, apakah Pak Lah boleh mengurangkan perbezaan hasil pendapatan golongan elit seramai 20% dengan golongan biasa 80% bakinya?
Apakah keadaan yang berlaku sekarang ini adalah disebabkan praktis sistem kapital yang Malaysia praktiskan, atau ada sebab-sebab lain? Yang pastinya, rasuah menjadi salah satu faktor ketidakseimbangan pengagihan hasil negara. Kronisme? Tidak perlu dipertikaikan lagi.
Yang menderita siapa? Kita semua yang tidak tergolong di dalam 'chronisme ring' tersebut.
Saya harap kita akan punya golongan 'Economic and leadership Revolutionists' yang boleh membetulkan keadaan ini di dalam jangka masa 5 - 10 tahun lagi.
Saudari Ika, tidak mahu menjawat sebarang jawatan di Ministry of Finance berbekalkan degree Bachelor of Economics dan insya Allah Master anda?
Moga akan lebih ramai golongan profesional yang memahami cara pelaksanaan Islam yang sebenar untuk membuat perubahan.
Moga-moga.

Enggan untuk menunda membuat business and personal planning ke esok sebab saya pasti, saya akan mendapat migraine kerana sejak Khamis lepas sehingga semalam, migraine datang menyerang walaupun tidak ganas berikutan sedikit tekanan yang terasa di dalam mesyuarat KPI division saya, dan esok saya menjangkakan perkara yang sama akan berlaku.
Kenaikan harga diesel
Pada mulanya saya betul-betul terkejut apabila kerajaan mengumumkan kenaikan harga diesel. Seperti yang dijangkakan, ramai yang mengeluh dan membantah.
Saya juga turut bersimpati dnegan golongan-golongan yang akan menanggung beban kenaikan ini, dan pastinya tidak dapat dielakkan harga kenaikan barang akan terjadi berikutan kos pengeluaran meningkat. Siapa yang akan menanggung beban? Kita semua, sebagai pengguna.
Pak Lah menjelaskan pengurangan subsidi adalah kerana kerajaan tidak mampu menanggung kos subsidi lagi, dan selaras dengan itu mengeluarkan statement on 3 bad habits utama yang perlu dibuang untuk mewujudkan suasana produktiviti yang lebih fokus dan kompetitif, dan salah satunya adalah pengurangan kebergantungan kepada subsidi kerajaan.
Dilihat dari sudut ekonomi jangka panjang, saya bersetuju dengan pendapat Pak Lah. Untuk mendapat sesuatu, kadang-kala kita terpaksa bersusah sedikit. Bak kata orang putih, 'No pain, no gain'. Untuk mewujudkan skala produktiviti yang lebih bagus, Malaysia terpaksa resort kepada penyelesaian drastik ini untuk menjadikan Malaysia ini lebih kompetitif. Sebarang usaha niaga perlu bekerja lebih keras untuk mendapatkan untung berbanding meletakkan usaha yang tidak sepenuhnya kerana adanya subsidi kerajaan.
Dan Pak Lah juga mengambil risiko menjadi pemimpin tidak popular di arena politik dan juga negara dengan mengambil tindakan ini kerana kita pasti, imejnya akan terjejas berikutan kegagalan beliau di dalam mengawal kenaikan harga yang tidak perlu dan menyusahkan para pengguna. Beliau berani mengambil risiko ini dan tidak mengarahkan Bank Negara untuk mencetak wang yang lebih banyak untuk substitute pengurangan subsidi kerana saya yakin, dia tahu effect penambahan wang di dalam pasaran akan menyebabkan nilai RM akan menjadi lebih rendah, dan juga apabila wang banyak dikeluarkan di dalam pasaran, pengguna akan lebih banyak punya wang untuk berbelanja, menyebabkan demand ke atas barangan meningkat, seterusnya akan menghasilkan kenaikan harga barangan secara purata which will cause the inflation to happen sekiranya pengeluar barangan tidak dapat memenuhi demand pasaran. End of result, pengguna Malaysia akan lebih suffer berikutan peningkatan harga barangan secara constant walaupun tidak secara mendadak sekiranya terjadi sedemikian. Sekiranya Pak Lah gilakan populariti dan inginkan kesinambungan keyakinan rakyat ke atas kepimpinannya, pastinya dia akan mengambil langkah mencetak wang dan mengelakkan risiko ketidakpuasan hati rakyat dengan mengurangkan harga subsidi ini.
Saya setuju dengan tindakan ini, kerana saya faham economical impactnya ke atas Malaysia.
Yang saya tidak setuju, kerana statement yang menyatakan bahawa subsidi diesel sebelum ini dinikmati kebanyakannya oleh pengguna yang mampu memakai Roll Royce. Kita kena faham bahawa wealth distribution di Malaysia tidak even, 80% keuntungan dan kekayaan Malaysia ini merely dinikmati oleh 20% golongan elit. Jadi wajarkah sekiranya subsidi ini dikurangkan hanya dengan mengambil kira 20% elit ini, yang 80% rakyat marhaen ini tidak pula?
Sekiranya economic wealth distribution of Malaysia ini seimbang dan kekayaan Malaysia ini dikongsi sama rata, 100% elimination of subsidy pun takpe, kita terima. Kita mempersoalkan mengapa tiada keseimbangan di dalam wealth distribution di Malaysia, mengapa kekayaan hanya dinikmati oleh segolongan rakyat dan yang selebihnya hanya mendapat picisan, dan kemudian sebarang economical decisions yang diambil oleh kerajaan tidak mengambil kira maslahah golongan 80% ini? Untuk mempersalahkan Pak Lah, saya kira tidak wajar kerana saya terjumpa satu kata-kata yang saya baca di Kinokuniya semalam 'Hasil yang terjadi pada hari ini adalah disebabkan formulasi polisi pada 30 tahun yang lepas' (translate dlm BM sbb lupa yang Englishnya).
Saya berbincang dengan salah seorang sahabat sekuliah yang bekerja di Lembaga Hasil, bertanya mengapa sekarang ini subsidi kerajaan dikurangkan, termasuk subsidi education (lecturers saya di UIA sudah memberitahu kami tahun lepas bahawa beberapa tahun lagi kerajaan akan menamatkan subsidi pelajaran ke semua IPT) dan yang paling teruk, subsidi kesihatan sedangkan kedua aspek ini adalah perkara basic necessities? Saya betul-betul tidak bersetuju bantuan subsidi dikurangkan untuk kedua-dua aspek ini.
Sahabat saya menjawab 'Kerajaan tidak ada duit kerana banyak terlibat dengan projek-projek mega dahulu'.
Katanya, kerajaan tidak berfikir panjang dahulu sebelum resort kepada projek-projek mega, dan kini kita menerima akibatnya. Tidak salah untuk resort kepada projek-projek tersebut, tapi jangan sampaikan bebankan rakyat.
Dan kini saya terfikir, apakah Pak Lah boleh mengurangkan perbezaan hasil pendapatan golongan elit seramai 20% dengan golongan biasa 80% bakinya?
Apakah keadaan yang berlaku sekarang ini adalah disebabkan praktis sistem kapital yang Malaysia praktiskan, atau ada sebab-sebab lain? Yang pastinya, rasuah menjadi salah satu faktor ketidakseimbangan pengagihan hasil negara. Kronisme? Tidak perlu dipertikaikan lagi.
Yang menderita siapa? Kita semua yang tidak tergolong di dalam 'chronisme ring' tersebut.
Saya harap kita akan punya golongan 'Economic and leadership Revolutionists' yang boleh membetulkan keadaan ini di dalam jangka masa 5 - 10 tahun lagi.
Saudari Ika, tidak mahu menjawat sebarang jawatan di Ministry of Finance berbekalkan degree Bachelor of Economics dan insya Allah Master anda?
Moga akan lebih ramai golongan profesional yang memahami cara pelaksanaan Islam yang sebenar untuk membuat perubahan.
Moga-moga.
Wassalam.

(1) Revenue Assurance
This is my new division's name, from Fraud Mgmt Division being changed to Revenue Assurance. Being put directly under Corporate Finance Group, nothing i can say other than this...
ALHAMDULILLAH :)
My heart is craving to join Finance Group all this while,and alhamdulillah after TM restructuring by Dato' CE, my division is being put under Group Finance. Tak perlu lagi berfikir-fikir mcm mana nak masuk ke Finance Group after this :). Last time there was an advertisement on post vacancy in Internal Audit, of course i would like jump into Internal Audit if i have the chance, but when considering that i'm taking MBA rite now, i dun think i can stand the hecticness of being an auditor who need to travel here and there like Mafus. Azni alhamdulillah managed to get herself in there, i called her and wished her luck.
Zarid is replacing her by now, but till today i didn't see a single shadow of her in this building. Not so sure she has started her job or not.
Currently my head is really spinning like gasing, coz since from this early morning i was in KPI worksyop with the rest of executives including our GM, and seriously my head feels like want to rentung and feel very tired. I'm the business strategist, remember?
I have to look and review their KPIs and targets to ensure the optimum efficiency by each process, and due to that, i have to become the scapegoat of Tn Hj since the rest berazam utk kenakan me sbb me asyik query why certain things are like this and that, how to measure process and etc menyebabkan derang tak sabar nak take revenge biler my turn to table out my KPI came. Hehe, the most popular person in this meeting is me ler kot, since everyone mmg menunggu nak revenge sbb me byk tanya. Hoho, apa nak buat, mmg my responsibility is to ensure everything is effective, and target mesti bertepatan. So in a way, i have to provoke and ask them why this and that. Resultnya, sumer org termasuk managers mmg nak kenakan me hoho. Our discussion seriously like a Parlimen, and i was the Speaker hoho. Best best :D
Tapi, alhamdulillah, during my presentation, derang tak dpt nak lancarkan Tomahawk or whatsoever since my targets and KPIs will be highly related to the division KPI, so since there are several units have not presented their KPIs yet, therefore i have to defer my presentation, and they cannot take revenge on me! Yeayyy, best best!! :D
Seronok buat bengkel mcm ni, sbb everyone will become very clear why this unit is doing certain processes, and we can always propose any other KPI that we feel suits to the unit. Me mmg dgn selambanya dah mmg tak kaver2 dah depan GM, dgn bebudak Investigation especially Midun and Zaki mmg dah siap tunjuk penumbuk dah, nakal sgt2 derang ni. Asyik nak kenakan orang jek.Rasanya Tn Hj pun pelik awat ler anak2 buah dia ni macam kanak2 Ribena, asyik lawan2 cakap and tergelak2 buat perangai. Mmg muda balik ler my GM ni nanti, lambat kena serangan jantung sbb asyik ketawa ngan gelagat kitorang memasing hehe.

Ika menyentuh ttg takdir di posting terbarunya.

Kalau saya boleh memusingkan masa, pasti banyak perkara yang akan saya ubah dan mengambil kembali semua peluang yang ada.

You Must Know This Man
You may be an atheist or an agnostic; or you may belong to any of the religious denominations that exist in the world today. You may be a communist or a believer in democracy and freedom. No matter what you are, and no matter what your ideological and political beliefs, personal and social habits happen to be -- YOU MUST STILL KNOW THIS MAN
The Encyclopedia Britannica calls him "The MOST successful of all religious personalities of the world" and it also confirms:
"...A mass of detail in the early sources shows that he was an honest and upright man who had gained the respect and loyalty of others who were like-wise honest and upright men." (Vol. 12)
Bernard Shaw said about him:
"He must be called the Savior of Humanity. I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world, he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it much-needed peace and happiness".
(The Genuine Islam, Singapore, Vol. 1, No.8, 1936)
He was by far the most remarkable man that ever set foot on this earth. He preached a religion, founded a state, built a nation, laid down a moral code, initiated numerous social and political reforms, established a powerful and dynamic society to practice and represent his teachings and completely revolutionized the worlds of human thought and behavior for all times to come.
His name is MUHAMMAD May Peace of God Be Upon Him (pbuh)
Born in Arabia in the year 570 A.D., started his mission of preaching the religion of Truth, Islam (submission to One God) at the age of forty and departed from this world when he was sixty three.
During this short period of 23 years of his Prophethood, he changed the complete Arabian peninsula from paganism and idolatry to worship of One God, from tribal quarrels and wars to national solidarity and cohesion, from drunkenness and debauchery to sobriety and piety, from lawlessness and anarchy to discipline living, from utter bankruptcy to highest standards of moral excellence. Human history has never known such a complete transformation of a people or a place before or since - and IMAGINE all these unbelievable wonders in JUST OVER TWO DECADES.
Lamartine, the renowned historian speaking on the essentials of Human Greatness wonders:
"If greatness of purpose, smallness of means and astounding results are the three criteria of human genius, who could dare to compare any great man in modern history with Muhammad? The most famous men created arms, laws and empires only. They founded, if anything at all, no more than material powers which often crumbled away before their eyes. This man moved not only armies, legislations, empires, peoples, and dynasties, but millions of men in one-third of the then inhabited world; and more than that, he moved the altars, the gods, the religions, the ideas, the beliefs and souls...his forbearance in victory, his ambition, which was entirely devoted to one idea and in no manner striving for an empire; his endless prayers, his mystic conversations with God, his death and his triumph after death; all these attest not to an imposture but to a firm conviction which gave him the power to restore a dogma. This dogma was two-fold, the unity of God and the immateriality of God; the former telling what God is, the latter telling what God is not; the one overthrowing false gods with the sword, the other starting an idea with the words. Philosopher, orator, apostle, legislator, warrior, conqueror of ideas, restorer of rational dogmas, of a cult without images, the founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is MUHAMMAD. As regards all the standards by which Human Greatness may be measured, we may well ask, IS THERE ANY MAN GREATER THAN HE?
(Lamartine, Historire de la Turquie, Paris, 1854, Vol. II, pp. 276-277).
The world has had its share of great personalities. But these were one-sided figures who distinguished themselves in but one or two fields, such as religious thought or military leadership. The lives and teachings of these great personalities of the world are shrouded in the mist of time. There is so much speculation about the time and place of their birth, the mode and style of their life, the nature and detail of their teachings, the degree and measure of their success or failure that it is impossible for humanity to reconstruct accurately the lives and teachings of these men.
Not so this man. Muhammad (pbuh) accomplished so much in such diverse fields of human thought and behavior in the fullest blaze of human history. Every detail of this private and public utterances has been accurately documented and faithfully preserved to our day. The authenticity of the records so preserved are vouched for not only by the faithful followers but even by his prejudiced critics.
Muhammad (pbuh) was a religious teacher, a social reformer, a moral guide, an administrative colossus, a faithful friend, a wonderful companion, a devoted husband, a loving father - all in one. No other man in history ever excelled or equaled him in any of these different aspects of life - but it was only for the selfless personality of Muhammad (pbuh) to achieve such incredible perfections.
Mahatma Gandhi, speaking on the character of Muhammad (pbuh) says in 'Young India':
"I wanted to know the best of one who holds today undisputed sway over the hearts of millions of mankind...I became more than convinced that it was not the sword that won a place for Islam in those days in the scheme of life. It was the rigid simplicity, the utter self-effacement of the Prophet, the scrupulous regard for his pledges, his intense devotion to his friends and followers, his intrepidity, his fearlessness, his absolute trust in God and in his own mission. These and not the sword carried everything before them and surmounted every obstacle.When I closed the 2nd volume (of the Prophet's biography), I was sorry there was not more for me to read of the great life".
Thomas Carlyle in his 'Heroes and Heroworship', was simply amazed as to:
"How one man single handily, could weld warring tribes and wandering Bedouins into a most powerful and civilized nation in less than two decades".
Diwan Chand Sharma wrote:
"Muhammad was the soul of kindness, and his influence was felt and never forgotten by those around him"(D.C. Sharma, 'The Prophets of the East', Calcutta, 1935, pp.12)
Edward Gibbon and Simon Ockley speaking on the profession of ISLAM write:
" 'I BELIEVE IN ONE GOD, AND MAHOMET, AN APOSTLE OF GOD' is the simple and invariable profession of Islam. The intellectual image of the Deity has never been degraded by any visible idol; the honor of the Prophet have never transgresses the measure of human virtues; and his living precepts have restrained the gratitude of his disciples within the bounds of reason and religion".
(History of the Saracen Empires, London, 1870, p.54).
Muhammad (pbuh) was nothing more or less than a human being. But he was a man with a noble mission, which was to unite humanity on the worship of ONE and ONLY ONE GOD and to teach them the way to honest and upright living based on the commands of God. He always described himself as, 'A Servant and Messenger of God', and so indeed every action of his proclaimed to be.
Speaking on the aspect of equality before God in Islam, the famous poetess of India, Sarojini Naidu says:
"It was the first religion that preached and practiced democracy; for, in the mosque, when the call for prayer is sounded and worshippers are gathered together, the democracy of Islam is embodied five times a day when the peasant and king kneel side by side and proclaim: 'God Alone is Great'... I have been struck over and over again by this indivisible unity of Islam that makes man instinctively a brother."
( S. Naidu, Ideals of Islam, vide Speeches & Writings, Madras, 1918, P.169).
In the words of Prof. Hugronje:
" the league of nations founded by the prophet of Islam put the principle international unity and human brotherhood in such universal foundations as to show candle to other nations". He continues, "the fact is that no nation of the world can show a parallel to what Islam has done towards the realization of the idea of the League of Nations".
The world has not hesitated to raise to divinity, individuals whose lives and missions have been lost in legend. Historically speaking none of these legends achieved even a fraction of what Muhammad (pbuh) accomplished. And all his stiving was for the soul purpose of uniting mankind for the worship of One God on the codes of moral excellence. Muhammad (pbuh) of his followers never at any time that he was a Son of God or the God-incarnate or a man with divinity - but he always was and is even today considered as only a Messenger chosen by God.
Michael H. Hart in his recently published book on ratings of men who contributed towards the benefit and upliftment of mankind writes:
"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels".
(M.H.Hart,'The 100: A ranking of the most influential persons in history', New York, 1978, pp.33).
Jules Masserman (Jewish) in in TIME Magazine:
"Perhaps the greatest leader of all times was Mohammad, who combined all the three functions. To a lesser degree Moses did the same."(Jules Masserman, 'Who Were Histories Great Leaders?', TIME Magazine, July 15, 1974).
K. S. Ramakrishna Rao, an Indian Professor of Philosophy in his booklet, "Muhammad, The Prophet of Islam," calls him the "perfect model for human life." Prof. Ramakrishna Rao explains his point by saying:
"The personality of Muhammad, it is most difficult to get into the whole truth of it. Only a glimpse of it I can catch. What a dramatic succession of picturesque scenes! There is Muhammad, the Prophet. There is Muhammad, the Warrior; Muhammad, the Businessman; Muhammad, the Statesman; Muhammad, the Orator; Muhammad, the Reformer; Muhammad, the Refuge of Orphans; Muhammad, the Protector of Slaves; Muhammad, the Emancipator of Women; Muhammad, the Judge; Muhammad, the Saint. All in all these magnificent roles, in all these departments of human activities, he is alike a hero."
Today after a lapse of fourteen centuries the life and teachings of Muhammad (pbuh) have survived without the slightest loss, alteration or interpolations. They offer the same undying hope for treating mankind's many ills, which they did when he was alive. This is not a claim of Muhammad's (pbuh) followers but also the inescapable conclusion forced upon by a critical and unbiased history.
The least YOU could do as a thinking and concerned human being is to stop for a moment and ask yourself: Could these statements sounding so extraordinary and revolutionary be really true? And supposing they really are true and you did not know this man MUHAMMAD (pbuh) or hear about him isn't it time to you responded to this tremendous challenge and put-in some effort to know him?
It will cost you nothing but it may prove to be the beginning of a completely new era in your life.
We invite you to make a discovery of this wonderful man, 'MUHAMMAD (pbuh)', the like of whom never walked on the face of this earth.

We invite you to make a discovery of this wonderful man, 'MUHAMMAD (pbuh)', the like of whom never walked on the face of this earth.
