Enough

Assalamualaikum and Good day readers,

How're you lads? I hope all of you are doing fine there. How about me? Well, I'm alhamdulillah doing fine as always. I always pray to The Almighty God so that me, my family, people around me are always has enough in everything every single day. Enough time, enough energy, enough money, enough food, enough in any ways so that I can live throughout the day. 

It's important for us to have enough sleep also so that we can go through the next day without no problem. We also need to look after our food so that we don't over eat which can cause us to lose focus while doing our daily task or job or any other thing that we are planning to do for the day. Over eating can cause us sleepy and when we are sleepy, I mean during the day, we might become lazy. 

Do some exercise or some sports which suit your current ability and capability. Exercise that we able to follow. If you have enough exercise, you can start doing the sport that you like or that you might have experience it before. Remember, each and every one of us have different body and our body reacts differently according to our age and our current health state, so start small and avoid overdo. Keep it moderate. Exercise so that we have enough energy, enough spirit and enough motivation to get though the days or weeks of our life. 

Make sure that we able to monitor our mental and body health. Go to the clinic if you're feeling sick or unwell and take the doctor's advice seriously. If it's not us to keep our mind and body healthy, who else? I think that's all from me. Just practicing my writing here so that you know that I'm alive. :D Remember, always pray to The Almighty God to keep us enough everyday. Be grateful and be thankful to Him so that He shall grant us more. 

And [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, 'If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe.' "

Al-Quran [14:7]

Adios and Wassalamualaikum.

Welcome Subang Jaya

Assalamualaikum beloved readers! It's Monday and usually all the workers will be having the so called "Monday Blues". It's actually referring to how the worker feel on Monday. After long weekend, 2 days only actually, when coming to the office or workplace, then suddenly they've like "Oh, it's Monday and it's working day"..something like that lah. Majority feels the same. Well, that's life. Oh yes, I don't want to discuss about that. Don't worry. I only wanted to share what've I going thru this past week. 

First of all, ehem, ehem...I'm back in Subang Jaya! Did I mentioned before that I moved out from SJ? Well, it's been a year. Best part is, I went back to the same area only at different road. Last time was H now is A. No problem. We moved back last Sunday just after the Putrajaya STS at Pullman Hotel. Alhamdulillah, thankful to Allah. That's the first one.

My class have started like 3 or 4 weeks I think. This semester I only have class on Saturday 11am to 6pm. So, I have limited weekend basically with working throughout the week plus rearrangement of my appointments. No problem. It's bisa di atur pak. Just do it. Sunday is STS day now. Every week will have BM STS (Putrajaya, Pan Pacific, Shah Alam, GenH...not included others like NutriCity's) unlike past 3 years back. I remembered last time it's only one BM STS per month. Actually there's 3 STS: BM, English and Mandarin. Need to bring more guests..anyone??

The past week also was Dr Zakir Naik's tour in Malaysia. I wrote some on the event that I went in Shah Alam. You may read previous post. Thank you. And yesterday I went again to his lecture at PWTC, Kuala Lumpur just after we finished the KL STS at Pan Pacific KL. Just behind PWTC. His topic yesterday was on "Islam's View on Terrorism and Jihad". Clearly it's 2 different thing. Unfortunately yesterday I couldn't hear most part of his lecture because of some technical issue. Plus the echoic effect makes the sound system looks not very good. As expected, everyone enjoyed his speech and the Q&A sessions.

I remember one question asked by our Christian brother if I'm not mistaken. He asked between our beloved prophet Muhammad SAW and Isa AS, who was born more pure and who's better. Because he said Isa AS born without father. Dr Zakir answers was, if Isa AS born without a father, then Adam AS is far better because he born without father and mother. Interesting answer but logic. Most of the questions last night was about Isa AS. I came with my family and we went back early because have to send a friend home. Oh, and Tun Dr Mahathir also was there yesterday. He gave the earlier speech before Dr Zakir's lecture. I think that's all for now. Until next post.

Dr Zakir Naik live in Shah Alam

Assalamualaikum all. Last week, me and my family went to an event named Dr. Zakir Naik Malaysian Tour 2012. It was held in Dewan Agung Tuanku Canselor, UiTM Shah Alam. Who is Dr Zakir Naik? He is the public speaker on the subject of Islam and comparative religion from India. By profession he is a medical doctor. More on him you can see Wikipedia. I've heard his name long time ago and read one of his publications on most frequent questions asks about Islam. This is the first time I've meet and heard from him live. It's a lifetime opportunity. The event started by Al-Qur'an recitation from our Malaysian brother. He recited Surah Al-An'am. Then Farid Naik given his public speech on women's rights in Islam. 

He covers from responsibility until political point of view of women in Islam. A very informative speech. Farid ends his speech with this conclusion. Men and women have different degree of advantanges, but Allah made it totally equal between male and female. He given the analogy of taking exams. Male and female take out an exam for paper A, then the result is the male got 9/10 while the female got 7/10. Then, for paper B, the result is the male got 7/10 while the female got 9/10. We can see different mark for different paper but actually it will be equal mark when we add up, that is 8/10. The male have advantages in paper A while the female have advantages in paper B.

After Farid finished his speech, then Dr Zakir Naik was introduced and take the stage. His speech titled "Universal Brotherhood". He started his speech with the universal meaning of brotherhood. Brotherhood means not only by blood relationship, race, region and colours only. He explained how people from different religion is related with each other. He mentioned this to find similarities between all people from different religion. All religion believes that there's only on true God who created and rule this universe. Allah made us different from each other in order for us to know and learn from each other.

One thing that really stick in my mind was when Dr Zakir explained what are the properties which qualifies a God as Allah, the ruler of the universe. His answer is very simple. It was explained in the Al-Quran, Surah Al-Ikhlas. The meaning from this Surah is this (taken from Institute Al-Islam website) : “Say: He is Allah, The One and Only. Allah, the Eternal, Absolute. He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him.” [Al-Qur'an 112:1-4].

His speech goes on until about 1 hour before the Q&A session for the remaining 2 hours. The session was moderated by Brother Shah Kirit. He priorities the non-muslims to question out any inquiries about Islam and it's teaching. Dr Zakir handles the answer well. I love the way he spell out his answer which most of it actually from the glorious Al-Qur'an itself besides he mentioned some references from other religious book like Bible, Veda and so on to support his answer. A very informative answer and yet concise, insyaAllah.

The event end up at about 12.30am. This Friday, 5th October 2012, there will be having the same event with Dr Zakir in Kuantan with topic "The Qur'an and Modern Science" before he ends his tour on Sunday, 7th October 2012 in PWTC, Kuala Lumpur with topic "Islam's View on Terrorism and Jihad". Let's don't miss this opportunity to learn from him, insyaAllah.
