Alhamdillah the result was out yesterday. Honestly, four years at uni is decided through this result. I was so anxious because if i cant get good result i have to pay back a lot to MARA. Also I was worried because although i am going to be employed, my salary would not be at par with normal graduate since the dawa work that i do is like a start-up company. I dont have any high expectation either because what i want are the thrill, excitement and pleasure of Allah. As for money it just the result that as long as i can live and breath.
I was been asked by SI to put an appropriate salary for myself. I was in dilemma myself since I worried that my salary would not be enough to pay back mara and also my dream to do hajj next year.
Yesterday was the day. I wanted to register for my graduation ceremony. It struck me when i saw a title under the award heading. Straight after I fell into prostration and called my parents straight after.
The journey that i went through, Allah did not make it easy, but sometimes the path that He(Allah) threaded is just like the blockbuster movie. All the frustration, despair, lose of hope are all together a worthwhile experience that made me, me.
Although when i traveled, i always choose the cheap ticket and avoid first class. but now i cannot avoid the class anymore and I thanked Allah for this

It's about the value
I still remember 17 years ago, I was attending sekolah agama rakyat at that time. My friend and I used to buy Kuih sago from a house outside the school compound since no canteen was built during that time.
This Kuih sago was the cheapest option for lunch during that time; 10 cent per piece.The glimpse of the road i took to the shop is still clear in my mind. Memories no one can ever bargain on. That road had witness our battle of kuih sago.
The battle started during recess time. Just as soon as the bell rang, we immediately ran to the shop for kuih sago. The road that we had to take wasn't a tarred road.During that time, tarred road is not really Famous hehe.
Nonetheless, We didnt even feel scared or afraid to run when the road get wet and slippery during rainy season.Anyway we a bunch of kids who were pretty happy to run in the rain. Although sometimes we cried LOUDLY when our knees bleeds after falling
The next year, the school built a stall canteen. This new stall was pretty impressive. lotsa delicious foods that surely fill hungry kids like us.This time There was no kuih sago anymore but there were mee curry, nasi lemak,and Karipap and other special daily menus. For me, I chose the easiest and the cheapest money can buy; The Karipap. Still the karipap was the same price as kuih sago; 10 cent for one curry puff.
About 2 years later, I moved to seremban, a new canteen awaited me there. A modern,slightly better canteen that i can even imagine. This time my favourite brunch was the big cucur udang. It had some weird shape that i like and somehow the sauce was meant to be put onto the shape as it acted like a semi-sphere.And also it was because it was the cheapest my money can buy. A 30 cent cucur + 20 cent cordial water was marvelous during those days.
A year after, My friend treated me a nasi lemak. That was the first time i ever taste nasi lemak at that canteen and I really liked it. So my aim changed for a crave of nasi lemak since then. But since it was not 'my money can buy', i only eat it alternately; one day No lunch and the next day nasi lemak, and this continued till my pocket money was increased to 1 ringgit as motivation for coming upsr examCuz i was a lazy bump and mind, I need this motivation, however my upsr result wasnt good but wast too bad
That was how one thing in my life change and now that particular thing is getting increase in its value and nowhere i can afford to eat 10 cent Kuih sago or even the 60 cent nasi lemak anymore.
Yesterday, I had found the answer for question that has been haunted me for the past 4 years. Yes, a question that I found the answer in the quran but i still dont get it until yesterday
In process......

It's good to Know
Bismillah
Last week marked one of the best experience in my life. To work, sit and talk with a scholar whom I think very experience in his field (Dakwah and Hadith), really made my day. He, shaikh Hussain yee at first thought to be fussy but Alhamdulillah Allah made it easy for us to deal with him and he's very sporting as i can say. AMYN, SI,HW's experiences with previous speaker which is so demanding, somewhat affected us and made us be aware that we didnt want that situation happens again for Sh Hussain Yee. Alhamdulillah Allah made it easy.
I still remember,I was the person who introduce the Idea of bringing him to Brisbane after being told by abu jaabir he's coming to melbourne for a conference. The committee at first very reluctant considering the cost involved. The plan actually being cancelled but I'm being to stubborn keep asking for the plan to continue. Alhamdulillah after several hurdles by Allah's help we manage to bring him here.
He's so humble and very careful when he speaks. I still remember when i try to introduce myself,it felt a bit awkward, but later on after several meeting with him Alhamdulillah Allah made it easy for me to speak, ask and share some of his opinion.
We did talked a lot about development of dakwah and tarbiyah in Malaysia and we did discuss in length about islam Kaumiyyah.Alhamdulillah many inputs I get from him but i'm just to lazy to write them here.
He always refers me as 'malaysian representative'in AMYN and sometimes I just laughed when he tells people about it. He advice me to stay firm in this deen and keep company with people of eeman and he did invite me to Al-khadeem When i'm graduating.
This week I received two offers, one is for my career and another one is for my life. With the coming islamic tv program which inshaAllah will be launched this coming hajj, there is a vacancy as Marketing & Production Manager. I got nothing to loose if im choosing this job over biotechnology. Same salary,still in my area of interest and what make me thinking more about the job, i can gain both dunia and akhirah whereaas in biotechnology sector i only can gain dunia + i need to go to networking event which may involve something haram. sh. Hussain advice me if i want to work choose a work that can get you both dunia and akhirah.So I will do my istikharah and give the board my answer tomorrow inshaAllah.
For the second offer, The imam of a mosque (name is not mentioned for privacy purposes)asked me a killer question last Tuesday.
"Brother, how many children you have?"
"Cannot have one,still single" we laughed.
"How old are you now?"
"22 turning 23 this year inshaAllah".......paused for 30 second. The imam is busy preparing dinner for me.
"You know what bro, I have a sister to get married to...she's about the same age as you i guess"
I stunted.
"Ok...but you know to get married to have to able to provide for your family. For my current situation, i think it gonna be hard" i replied. Now the Imam coming to me with my dinner and sit in front of me.
"But she's previously married with one kid, and she's here in this house, might heard what we are talking". I just laughed after that
That line made me quite for several seconds before we moved to another topic. I asked shaikh aslam about his opinion for this issue because seems that he knows the imam's family very well.And straight after i asked syaikh aslam, dr maza put his previous fatwa "between a virgin or widow". Im not thinking about this as much as before. Alas i gained something important. If i want to marry a girl (whether a virgin or a widow),i'll have to make sure the marriage is at least not hurting the da'wah.if the marriage is helping the dakwah and tarbiyah, that's a bonus from Allah.Second lesson i learned, What ever action you do stick to the rope of Allah even in the hardest condition.After heard from syaikh, it shocking people can do haram to gain this dunia. May Allah keep us away from this.I do believe a happy marriage is by following the quran and sunnah.the most baraqah in the women when the mahr is affordable. and of course no wedding-style engagement party.
When hikmahway planning to launch Fiq of Love aye.I'm totally waiting for it.
Allahumustaan

People's power or people in power
BIsmillah....
Last week, a day filled with joy to Egypt citizens after HOsni Mubarak resigned from his post as the president of egypt. The 30 year regime collapsed after people of Egypt get together in the demonstration to place pressure to the presidnet to step down.
I'm praised Allah who have granted this historical moment to Egypt and other muslim countries that have been oppressed for so long.
In contrast, I'm quite skeptical whether it's people power who changed Egypt or People in power. History recorded, in The 80's when people in syria protest against their government, all the army was being mobilised to stop these protesters but the West did'nt say anything about this. Now let us see in the 90's the people of Algeria protested against the Algerian government, after the government who has lost to an islamic Political party annulled the election result. This government use military action to stop this demonstration but why during this time the America didn't say anything about people power and let them change the government through democracy.
We never heard the slogan that always been chanting during Egypt revolution 2011 in the 80's or 90's. That's why we can see the west so supportive to the revolution by giving full coverage on the situation and order Egypt not to use military forces to stop the demonstration.
This just my 2 cents. I just hope there are come changes to Egypt after this. Im expecting Ikhwanul muslimin will win the election. But what pressure will the america and others put is still unknown. I pray to Allaah to help us in anything.

misri
Bismillah....
After Tunisia, now Egypt. Citizens who being oppressed now try to force the president to step down. The revolt in Egypt is immediate response to successful tunisia's revolt. I heard various scholarly opinion with regards to revolting against Islamic ruler. But i'm not going to write about what's wrong and what's right because i'm in no position to do that. I leave this Matter to Allah and the muslims scholars to educate people on this issue.
I hope my friends in Egypt are safe. I pray to Allah to protect them from every evil.
Abu omar and family just left Oz for good to egypt. I hope him and his family is all good inshaAllah.

meeting
Bismillah,
flood that hits brisbane 2 weeks ago account for tremendous lost.Help in term of physical, psychological and financial keep coming to ease those who are in need.
On the other parts of the story, International community mostly students are also affected by the flood. Most of them lost everything after their house was submerged in the muddy water overflowing from the brisbane river. As not so fortunate of their Oz friends, they are struggling to get back to their normal life without any financial help. Just imagine in split seconds everything gone and these people, some may get scholarship from their government but the amount they get is really insignificant to the damage that has been done.
Some country even refuse to help their own citizen in Austalia who affected by flood.The government thinks that the international office in respective uni should be a point of contact for these students. With a crisis like this when help is needed but none willing to help,not even their own country, community is the last resort for them.
Alhamdulillah, the spirit of community without basing of what religion you are,which nationality and so and so spurred in the midst of this unfortunate crisis.
Today ismail and I had a meeting with one of the Australia member of parliament Mr Ste**** (I dont want search engine to find this page). We conveyed our full gratitude to him who willing to spend some time to sit and hear our plight. The meeting went well as Ismail (representative from AMYN) explained to MR MP about how unfortunate a non-australian who affected by flood need to endure without any financial support from anyone.
Alhamdulillah at the end, the MP willing to forward our email to QLD premier a*** b**** for her further action.
I do pray that the government can intervene and help those who are in need.
