Agent Of Usrah

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Yes. Usrah. For Malaysian community in Egypt, it is not just a mere word but an obligatory for everyone to at least have one regardless the name used. I personally knew the real meaning of usrah during the last quarter of my secondary school years. Of course it was present in the school yet I am talking about the real system at the first it was introduced by the founder to the community. I felt the difference and perhaps you too would feel the same if you did as what I did. As for the system, it would be a very boring discussion for the people who like heavy materials for it is too simple to understand. You now why? Because we don't actually care much on the discussion but we do care what to do after the discussion. If someone joins usrah and he doesn't do and move in the society and does as his murabbi, surely he would be bored and inevitably leave the usrah. The challenge is not only to maintain the attendance but to move the idea in the commun

Don't Kill Your Self Esteem By Giving Early High Expectation

بسم الله الرحمن الحيم Don't believe it until you see by your own naked eyes. In these technology days, informations may come from everywhere that you don't even know. What happens from the most remote area of the world can be percieved by the media. Right statement can be twisted to a totally ridiculous one. Even sometimes you can't even believe what you see for it may be edited or disguised behind something. So horror. What more dangerous is when we give early expectation before 100-percently sure what we are going to see. If it doesn't suit the actual state, it will tremendously throw away our self esteem. Should we come with nil expectation, no bias will be and everything is going to be fine. The seniors and people who have preceeded us are not always right. They may face different things. Indeed lessons need to be taken from the past experiences but also has to be balanced with nil expectation. Sometimes things are just going wrong because we have too i

Weird Election

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Usually when someone becomes a nominee for a particular election, he/she does so as to win and bring something to serve the community. At the time he/she makes the decision he/she should already have support from at least number of persons in the community. Having said that, the election that currently running in my place now is quite weird. The nominee is partially forced to participate and I am forced to be the penyokong .  So irony.

Don't Be Too Hard On Your Thought

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Everbody has their own way of thinking and solving problems. The difference is something inevitable, it has to be encountered fairly. A wise man will see every obstacles before him as a steeping stone to do and be better. On the other hand, a small minded man only expects good things to indulge him all the way of his journey. Being in a peace, common-thought community is honestly very boring. No resistance, conflict nor dispute to be encountered. Usually the community will be passive and feel content with their possessions. A growing community has miscellaneous manners and contradictory activities but despite all that, this community grows faster for they always meet something new from the opposite sides. We are not searching for mistakes nor differences, yet we are seeing and approaching the already present contrast as a diversity. We never find a place with no difference in thoughts, even the scholars have their debate. Just don't be too hard on yo

Egyptians And Arabs Are Good Friends

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم I have few Arab friends. Yeah, it's friend not mere acquaintances. Excluding the ustaz and ustazah in the Markaz Lughah where I study my Arabic language, my landlord, former naqib and people in the mosques, I have an Egyptian friend and one from Somalia. I meet them almost everyday since everbody lives and works around the same place. The younger is the Somali named Abdul Qadir. He is my junior in the university. I like to have coversations with him for it is in Arabic fusha (the original Arabic), easy to speak and understand. Went to his house once for a visit. His room was quiet unclean and unorganized. Yeah, normal for a guy. Despite of that, he is personally a tidy guy. Each time I see him, he is wearing a formal shirt. The Egyptian is Ibrahim. He works in a building besides Bashandi restaurant. He does business in sports and some medical tools. Physically appeared as a good islamist with long beard and sometimes he is the imam in the Al-Hida
