Sunway Lagoon - Part I
|
|
On Saturday, we went to Sunway Lagoon, along with Amin's cousins, Tok Ma, Tok Cik, Alang Ida and Acu Man. Amin had so much fun. He had his swimming diapers on and didn't want to get out of the water for about 2 hours.

Islam Hadhari - Principle #3
|
|
Principle #3 - The spirit of freedom.
*Text taken from Utusan Malaysia (in Bahasa Malaysia)
Memahami erti merdeka di sisi agama oleh Siti Shamsiah Md. Supi
Kemerdekaan di sisi Islam bukan suatu perkara yang mutlak. Hakikat kejadian manusia ialah ia tetap menjadi hamba kepada Penciptanya. Walaupun demikian penghambaan manusia kepada Allah s.w.t. bukanlah bermaksud bahawa manusia itu tidak mempunyai sebarang hak untuk menjalani kehidupan dengan rasa yang tenang dan bahagia. Ia sama sekali tidak sama sebagaimana perhambaan manusia terhadap sesama manusia. Bahkan, apabila manusia berjaya menjadikan keseluruhan hidupnya sebagai suatu pengabdian kepada Allah s.w.t. bermakna dia telah menjadi seorang Muslim yang benar-benar merdeka. Dalam erti kata lain, dia mempunyai daya pertahanan yang sangat kukuh daripada dipengaruhi atau dibelenggu oleh mana-mana pihak termasuklah dalam bentuk kuasa, pengaruh atau idea yang tidak boleh diterima oleh agama. Mungkin jasadnya terpenjara akan tetapi hati dan pemikirannya berpaut kepada prinsip-prinsip agama yang kukuh.
Kemerdekaan jiwa ini boleh dilihat bagaimana Nabi Ibrahim a.s. tidak berganjak sedikit pun dengan amaran yang dinyatakan oleh Raja Namrud untuk membakar baginda hidup-hidup sekiranya baginda tetap tidak mahu menerima berhala sebagai tempat untuk disembah.
Begitu juga dengan perkara yang berlaku ke atas Asiah, tukang sisir puteri Firaun yang sanggup dicampak ke dalam air yang panas menggelegak demi mempertahankan agama yang dianutinya.
Erti kemerdekaan yang sebenar bukanlah kemerdekaan secara fizikal semata-mata. Negara yang telah merdeka daripada sebarang penjajahan kuasa besar tidak bermakna sama sekali sekiranya memiliki rakyat yang tidak berjiwa merdeka. Terpengaruh dengan cara hidup orang lain sedangkan ia bertentangan dengan nilai-nilai Islam dan adat serta budaya yang selama ini didukung oleh agama - memberi erti pemikiran dan jiwa golongan yang masih belum merdeka. Selaras dengan erti kemerdekaan di sisi Islam, piawaian kecemerlangan di sisi agama juga tidak sama sebagaimana yang diukur oleh manusia. Manusia meletakkan kecemerlangan dalam bentuk yang boleh dilihat atau dirasa. Sijil, ijazah, piala, pingat, trofi atau yang seumpama dengannya adalah bentuk-bentuk kecemerlangan di sisi manusia.
Kecemerlangan di sisi Allah lebih istimewa bentuknya dan boleh dijadikan cita-cita oleh semua individu. Tanpa mengira sama ada individu itu normal ataupun cacat, kaya ataupun miskin, sihat ataupun sakit, termasuklah pandai ataupun kurang akalnya. Ini kerana kecemerlangan di sisi Allah s.w.t. dikira dari aspek usaha, niat dan kaedah yang digunakan dalam tindakan seseorang mencapai cita-citanya. Cita-cita di sisi agama sebagai mekanisme kecemerlangan bukanlah sekadar mencapai satu fasa tertentu yang kemudiannya bersifat statik. Di sisi agama, cita-cita sebenarnya semangat yang sentiasa membara untuk terus menyumbang dalam bidang atau profesion yang disandang. Seseorang individu Muslim perlu menyumbang bukan sekadar disebabkan keyakinannya terhadap kualiti yang dimiliki, akan tetapi atas keyakinannya tentang peranannya sebagai seorang khalifah yang perlu menyumbang kepada agamanya.
Selaras dengan itu, individu Muslim yang merdeka dan cemerlang tidak akan berasa kecewa sekiranya usaha yang dilakukan hanya menemui kegagalan. Ini kerana tidak ada istilah putus asa dalam dirinya sebagaimana keyakinannya terhadap maksud firman Allah dalam ayat 139 surah Ali-Imran yang berbunyi:
| Quote: |
Janganlah kamu bersikap lemah, dan janganlah pula kamu bersedih hati padahal kamu adalah orang yang paling tinggi darjatnya jika kamu orang yang beriman.
|
Selain tidak berputus asa, Muslim yang memiliki jiwa merdeka dan cemerlang juga tidak akan mudah menyalahi takdir kerana memahami inti pati firman Allah s.w.t. dalam surah al-Ra'd, ayat 11 yang bermaksud:
| Quote: |
Bagi tiap-tiap seorang ada malaikat penjaganya silih berganti dari hadapan dan dari belakangnya, yang mengawas dan menjaganya (dari sesuatu bahaya) dengan perintah Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah tidak akan mengubah pada sesuatu kaum sehingga mereka mengubah apa yang ada pada diri mereka sendiri.

Since yesterday Amin was having a loose stool, but at least he was not vomitting. Not sure what he ate that causes it. Ibu gave Amin regular food and he was ok before. He ate sweet potato, pumpkin and fish. He was still a good boy even though his stomach was not feeling very well.
Amin d clown....
Last night Ibu was so tired and sleepy. After preparing your clothes and food for today, Ibu played for a while with you, and then I fell asleep in your play room. The next thing I know, Ayah woke me up so I could sleep in the bedroom. It was almost 11pm and you were already asleep in your baby cot. Thank you Ayah for putting Amin to bed and also for folding those clothes..

Maxis Family Day
|
|
Saturday we went to Maxis Family Day. It started at 5pm and lasted till 11pm, but we didn't stay long. By 7pm we left for kenduri tahlil arwah Tok Bah at Sg. Merab.
It was raining earlier in the afternoon. By 5pm, weather was nice, not too hot and not too cold. Amin was so excited to see so many people and so many actions. He was a bit sleepy actually, but he forced himself not to sleep because he didn't want to miss the fun either

Islam Hadhari - Principle #2
|
|
The second principle of Islam Hadhari: Fair and Trustworthy Government.
Well, before we can talk at government level, let's see how we can apply this concept daily at an individual level. Being fair means we treat people around us equally, regardless of race, religion, skin color and wealth. When we are being fair, people will treat us with respect. Of course in this world, there are many fair people being taken advantage of, so we have to stick together and remind each other not to become discouraged. We should encourage others to do good things and leave bad things. 'Bad things' refer to actions that are forbidden in the Quran. Remember we talked about faith in the first principle and always refer to Quran and Hadith to strength your faith? To know what is good and what is bad, Quran and Hadith have indicate this clearly.
Being trustworthy means perform the responsibilities given to you. The utmost important thing is responsibilities towards God, then to your parents, your family, your community and your country.
If we can implement these two principles in our daily lives, not only we are respected and trusted by other people, we also have increased our faith in God, get His blessings and He will give us all the weallth in this world that we can't even imagine
So read your Quran, understand it and apply it.
Surah An-Nahl, :
| Quote: | 90] Sesungguhnya Allah menyuruh berlaku adil dan berbuat kebaikan, serta memberi bantuan kepada kaum kerabat dan melarang daripada melakukan perbuatan-perbuatan yang keji dan mungkar serta kezaliman. Dia mengajar kamu (dengan suruhan dan laranganNya ini), supaya kamu mengambil peringatan mematuhiNya.
[91] Dan sempurnakanlah pesanan-pesanan dan perintah-perintah Allah apabila kamu berjanji dan janganlah kamu merombak (mencabuli) sumpah kamu sesudah kamu menguatkannya (dengan nama Allah), sedang kamu telah menjadikan Allah sebagai Penjamin kebaikan kamu; sesungguhnya Allah sedia mengetahui akan apa yang kamu lakukan. |
| Quote: | [90] Allah commands justice, the doing of good, and liberality to kith and kin, and He forbids all shameful deeds, and injustice and rebellion: He instructs you, that ye may receive admonition.
[91] Fulfil the Covenant of Allah when ye have entered into it, and break not your oaths after ye have confirmed them: indeed ye have made Allah your surety; for Allah knoweth all that ye do. |

Nasi Ayam Linda Onn
|
|
Saturday afternoon, we all went out for lunch. Amin actually had his lunch at 11.30am and then he took a looooong nap. He slept for 1 1/2 hours. Ibu and ayah had to wait until he woke up before going out. We didn't want to wake him up. Ayah asked Ibu not to cook for lunch coz he wanted Ibu to get some rest and not to worry about cooking and cleaning the kitchen afterwards... Thank you, darling... . Instead, we went to eat Nasi Ayam Linda Onn at Ampang point. Ibu asked for Mom's special because it comes with fish ball soup. Knowing Amin, even after having lunch, he just can't stand looking at people eating. He'll get angry if he's not eating as well. So when the food arrived, Ibu gave Amin some of the fishball and that kept him happy...
Later that evening, we went back to Tok Ma's house (my mother) for BBQ dinner... the pics will be posted tomorrow. Ibu haven't downloaded them yet.
