The Meaning of Hijrah

Assalamualaikum.

In less than a day, muslims around the globe will be celebrating year 1431H. Malaysian, as usual would be busy organizing programs/events to remember and emphasize the importance of Hijrah.

Hijrah is a simple yet powerful word the really means 'wise change'. Thinking deeper, it would lead us to the meaning of total devotion to Allah, that you will find the true peace in life. No matter from which angle you see it, you would come to that truth.

May Allah bless all our deeds, and accept us as His servant on earth.

Happy Maal Hijrah 1431

Eid Mubarak 1430H

Assalamualaikum. Eid Mubarak! Selamat menyambut Hari Raya Haji 1430H.

Semoga sejarah Pengorbanan Nabi Ibrahim dan Nabi Ismail memberi iktibar buat kita semua.

MiSi Tautan Fikrah

Telah lama aku perhati,
pada corak warna & bunyi,
tiap nada rendah & tinggi,
tiap bentuk hitam atau putih,
sudahkah kita bertemu sebati?

Ku dengar nun jauh nada bergema,
nyaring & merdu tapi tiada berirama,
cuba membentuk melodi sama,
arah tujuan dan jalan yang sama

Ku dekati jatidiri berwarna-warni,
umpama alam tampak berseri,
limpahan anugerah dari Ilahi,
bukankah kita perlu menghargai?

Dalam ruang kesefahaman
mungkin bertemu jalan perdebatan
kekadang melalui proses pergeseran
masa tetap menjadi korban

Namun, tika tiba kesempurnaan
cahayanya menyilau pandangan
nilai tinggi menjadi buruan
lambang kejayaan atas pengorbanan

Tiada insan sama bentuk kejadian
satu fikiran, satu kemahuan, satu tujuan
namun anugerah Allah di dalam berbezaan
untuk kita mencari persamaan

JOM!!! PERHEBATKAN GERAKAN PROMOSI

Salam kepada semua sahabat,

Kerisuan melanda. Makanan di booking 250 orang pada asalnya... Risau dengan jumlah yang baru confirm utk hadir ke majlis kita pada 31 Mei 2009 ni. Jadi, semalam saya berbincang dengan Mochtar @ Moch untuk kita kurangkan jumlah tempahan ke 150 orang. Ye lah, takut tak tercapai. 

Kita optimistik dengan jumlah yang akan hadir. Cuma, ada baiknya untuk kita ambil langkah berjaga-jaga. Oleh itu kawan-kawan sekalian, kita gempur agar jumlah yang hadir akan bertambah. Dan, tempahan akan ditambah semula menjadi 250 seminggu sebelum event.

Tolong ye.... Merayu ni... Uwaaaaa
