Updating my life

Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Pengasihani

......teringat zaman kat INTEC dulu....

dah lame x update belog...yer, dah almost 7 months kot x update...siyesly no reason for that....tetibe tgh2 study terdetik nk update. Allah....


so, penulis nk citer la pasal penulis skali lagi beriktikaf selama 2 hari di county Cork...Alhamdulillah, ni kali pertama keluar sejak kluar 40 hari pada bulan 7 lalu...Segala puji bagi Allah...Kali ni, kuwa bersama2 jemaah dari Malaysia...jemaah Melayu...rase sebak....dulu masa first year, nk dapat jemaah melayu bukan senang, bila 2nd year baru la ade jemaah pertama dari Malaysia...gembiranye bukan main.....

Jemaah kali ni buleh dikatekan agak 'veteran'. 10 org kesemuanye dan hanye 3 daripada mereka yg berumur kurang dari 60 tahun.....Penulis bertiga dari dublin bersama ngan bro Nabil dan Dr Zahir dengan menaiki kereta...Seperti biase, bile nk kuwa je, hati mesti berat dimain2kan oleh syaitan laknatullah....Alhamdulillah, kali ni Allah pilih jugak utk kuwa....so, sampainyer kat Cork, da lewat malam, kitorang terus bentang takadzar ( tido ) huhuhu....

Hari seterusnyer, penulis menyertai mesyuarat jemaah...mereka bincang, mcm mane nk buat usaha kat sini, nk ajak lagi ramai budak2 melayu especially.....dorang plan buat joer...mase tu penulis terus teringat akan jemaah 1st dulu yg buat joer jugak kat cork dan bilangan bebudak malaysia yg datang sangat2 mengecewakan...namun, atas reason, 'buat usaha ni kite x tgk hasil, tapi tgk usaha dan pengorbanan' sedikit sebyk memujuk hati....

Jemaah bersungguh2 utk buat ziarah, ghast, bincang itu ini....sehinggakan penulis rasa sangat2 bersalah kerana dalam 2 tahun ni penulis buat usaha main2 dan x bersungguh2....dah nk balik msia bln 3 next year, baru la terasa betapa ruginyer x buat usaha betul2...ditambah lagi dengan perangai beberapa pelajar yg berfikiran agak 'perkumpulan', memburukkan keadaan sehinggakan nk dapatkan nombor atau alamat bebudak junior pom x dapat...sedih, kecewa, sebak.....risau.

Namun, joer tetap berlangsung dan alhamdulillah, jumlah bebudak yg hadir lagi ramai dari yg lepas.....air yg menitik di atas batu...lame2 akan lekuk jugak batu tu..insyaAllah....InsyaAllah akan jumpe lagi jemaah di Dublin kerana route terakhir mereka di Ireland adelah di Dublin.....doakan yg terbaik insyaAllah....

Alhamdulillah...Port Laoise

Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Pengasihani

Alhamdulillah, syukur kehadrat Allah S.W.T, penulis diberi kesempatan utk sekali lagi meluangkan masa bersama2 dengan jemaah tabligh di ireland ni.....selama 2 hari kami beriktikaf di tempat yg susah nk sebut = Portlaoise ( cara sebut = port lewsh )...seramai 6 brothers dari dublin yg terdiri daripada 3 malaysian brothers, 2 pakistani brothers dan seorang brother dari kazakstan, manakala 5 brothers dari county Cork menjadikan jemaah kesemuanye 11 orang....Alhamdulillah, satu jemaah satu hati dan fikir....

Sesampainyer penulis pada malam itu ( jumaat ) disambut oleh 3-4 remaja irish yg tgh dok drift kat parking lot...huish, dorang tgk kitorang ni, makin bertambah semangat dorang nk tunjuk pe'el bakat kat kitorang....nevermind, abaikan dorang, doa2kan supaya mereka diberikan hidayah oleh Allah S.W.T....basically, kawasan Port Laoise xmcm dublin, rumah2 mereka ala2 rumah kat msia, dan odw nk g ke masjid akan lalu kawasan2 Ladang yg ade lembu2 dan kambing biri2....Subhanallah...pegi kuwa dijalan Allah ni, sume dapat, dapat tgk tempat org, dapat jumpe ramai org, berkenalan ngan local brothers, dan macam2 lagi....kalau nk tau, jom kuwa 3 hari skali.....

Kami 11org buat usaha di satu masjid yg sgt well-decorated, mmg cantik sehingga sayang kalau nk masuk kat dalam takut2 kotor karpet, tapi da namenyer masjid, kene la mengimarahkannyer, kalau x, masjid akan jadi stakat rumah2 kosong je la.....dan, ape yg penulis perhatikan, ade 2-3 org local brothers yg bertanggungjawab utk masjid tu, so, dorang la yg uruskan pasal hal ehwal masjid tu....namun, sedih bercampur risau, masjid yg cantik tu, menerima kunjungan lebih dari seratus brothers dikala solat aidilfitri namun, kunjungan di waktu solat2  fardhu berjemaah, hanya lah 4-5 org brothers....Astaghfirullah....mane peginyer mereka2 yg mengimarahkan masjid dikala hari raya menjelang???? kepada sape kite nk harap utk imarahkan masjid kalau bukan saudara islam itu sendiri? nk harapkan irish ker??


So, jejak kami bermula, berbekalkan xde sebarang habuk information pasal local brother, jemaah mula mendapatkan info pasal muslim2 disekitar masjid daripada brothers2 tanggungjawab masjid tersebut....dan Alhamdulillah, jemaah berjaya jumpa agak ramai local brothers yg berada dirumah dikala weekend ni....xde penentangan berlaku, sume menerima kunjungan kami dengan hati yg terbuka.....local brothers kebanyakkannyer terdiri daripada brothers pakistan dan juga sudan.....

namun sedih dan amat2 menyedihkan bahawa, penah kami melawat 1 rumah brother ni, die da stay kat situ selama 12 tahun....12 tahun....namun, sorang brother islam pom die cakap x kenal even kawasan perumahan die.....Ya Allah.....die hanya bagitau yg die jumpe brothers se muslim pom dikala solat kat masjid....

So, setelah 2 hari, tiba masa utk kami tangguh, dan local brothers bagi azam utk kluarkan jemaah dari masjid itu dan buat usaha agama...Alhamdulillah, doakan2 supaya insyaAllah satu hari nanti jemaah dari Port Laoise ni akan ketuk pintu umah penulis ajak g masjid lak....insyaAllah....

teringat lagi kata2 ameer sahab semalam...."this is our mosque, and it's our responsibility to populate this mosque, or else a mosque will be an empty house, and one day, Allah will ask us, about this matter, what are we gonna to say to Allah S.W.T??? ".....

jadi tuan2 yg mulia sekalian, masjid clonskeagh, dublin mosque, blackpitt mosque, dan masjid2 diseluruh dunia adelah masjid kiter....jadi menjadi tanggungjawab kiter utk mengajak org ramai supaya setiap mukmin mengimarahkan sesebuah masjid, kerana, masjid merupakan nadi atau jantung bagi sesebuah kampung atau kawasan tersebut.....

doakan penulis utk keluar 40hari summer holiday nanti....insyaAllah....

10 things About Our Eyes

Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Pengasihani


Few people could argue that without our 5 senses life would be pretty dull. All our senses are extremely important but I think if you asked most people which sense would they least like to lose they would probably say their vision. As with most of our abilities, our vision is something that many of us take for granted. If you stop and think for a moment, you will realize that just about everything we do in our day to day life involves our vision. During this article I am going to try and see if I can get you to start thinking a little bit more about your eyes. Listed below is my top 10 list of weird and wonderful things you didn’t know about your eyes
 

10. Everyone needs reading glasses as they get older

This is assuming that you already have perfect distance vision. If you are currently reading this article and are under 40 years of age with perfect distance vision, I can say with absolute certainty that you will need reading glasses at some point in the future. For about 99% of the population the age that you will first start needing reading glasses is between 43 and 50 years old. This is because the lens in your eye slowly loses its focusing ability with age. In order to focus things near to you, your lens has to change from a flat to a more spherical shape and it loses the ability to do this as you get older. As you get to around 45 years old you will start to hold things further away from you to keep them focus.

 

9. The lens in your eye is quicker than any camera lens

Just behind the pupil sits the eyes natural lens, whose function is to focus on the object you are looking at. Just take a minute to glance around the room and think about how many different distances you are focusing at. Every time you do this, the lens in your eye is instantly changing focus without you even being aware of it! Compare that with a camera lens which takes a few seconds to focus between one distance and another. Just be thankful that the lens in your eye is as quick as it is, otherwise things would be continually going in and out of focus.

 

 

8. Your eyes are fully developed by the age of 7 years old

By the age of 7 years old our eyes are fully developed and are physiologically the same as adult’s eyes. It is for this reason that it is vitally important to pick up a lazy eye before we reach this age. The earlier a lazy eye is diagnosed, the greater the chance it will respond to treatment, as the eyes are still developing and capable of an improvement in vision. Beyond 7 years old no amount of treatment will result in any improvement in vision.

 

7. You blink approximately 15,000 times each day

Blinking is a semi- involuntary function meaning we do it automatically, but can also choose to blink if we so require. Blinking is an extremely important function of your eyes as it helps remove any debris on the surface of your eye, by spreading fresh tears over them. These tears help to nourish your eyes with oxygen and also have important anti bacterial properties. You can think of the function of blinking as being similar to the action of the windscreen wipers on your car, cleaning and removing everything to keep you seeing clearly.
 

6. Everyone gets cataracts as they get older

People don’t realize that cataracts are just a normal consequence of getting older and everyone gets them at some point in their life. You can think of cataracts as being similar to getting grey hair, in that it is just a normal natural age change. The average age people first get cataracts is about aged 70 years old and by 80 years old you are guaranteed to have cataracts. In the same way that you could not find any aged 80 years old without grey hair, it would be equally impossible to find anyone over 80 years old without cataracts. Cataracts refer to a gradual clouding of the lens in your eye and typically take about ten years from onset to them needing treatment.
 
 

5. Diabetes is often first detected during an eye test

People who suffer from type 2 diabetes (the type you develop later in life) are often symptom free, meaning they often don’t even know that they have it. This type of diabetes is commonly picked up during an eye test as it can be seen as tiny hemorrhages from leaking blood vessels at the back of your eye. This certainly is good reason to get your eyes tested regularly.
 

4. You see with your brain and not your eyes

The function of your eyes is to collect all the required information about the object you are looking at. This information is then passed from your eye to the brain via the optic nerve. It is the brain (visual cortex) where all this information is analyzed to enable you to ‘see’ the object in its finished form. This is not to say that your eyes don’t play an important role as they certainly do.

 

3. Your eyes can adapt to blind spots in your vision

Certain eye conditions such as Glaucoma and certain general health conditions such as having a stroke, can lead to you developing blind spots in your vision. This would be extremely debilitating if it wasn’t for your brain and your eyes ability to adapt to make these blind spots disappear. It does this by suppressing the blind spot in your affected eye and letting your other good eye ‘fill in the gaps’. It is adaptation like this that makes your eyes so resilient.

 

2. 20:20 vision is not the best vision you can have

When people hear the phrase 20:20 vision they assume that this is the best vision possible. However this is not true as 20:20 vision refers to what the average adult should be able to see. If you imagine a typical eye test chart the 20:20 vision is probably only the line second from the bottom. The line below it is even smaller than 20:20 vision and would mean you have 20:16 vision. So don’t be so impressed next time someone tells you they have 20:20 vision!
 

 

1. Your eyes water when they are dry

I know this might sound crazy but this is one of strange facts about your eyes. Your tears are made up of 3 different components and they are water, mucus and fat. If these 3 components are not in exactly the right quantities, your eyes can become dry as a consequence. Your brain responds to this dryness by producing extra water and hence your eyes water.

 Subhanallah

Jemaah Malaysia di Ireland

Dengan Nama Allah Yang Maha Pemurah Lagi Maha Pengasihani

Alhamdulillah, pada hujung minggu bebaru ni, penulis sempat meluangkan masa selame sehari lebih utk bersama2 dengan jemaah tabligh yang datangnye dari Malaysia ( penang ).... Kedatangan mereka semata2 untuk belajar2 cara dakwah nabi dan para sahabat suatu masa dahulu dimana para nabi dan sahabat pergi jumpe setiap manusia utk memperkenalkan Allah S.W.T sebagai Tuhan sekalian alam....belajar2 untuk mencapai sedikit fikir cara fikir nabi S.A.W dimana bayi yang lahir kat dunia ni dapat kalimah Lailahaillallah Muhammadurrasulullah....

Jumaat
Ketika itu, jemaah Malaysia tersebut sudah berada di Cork ( lebih kurang 250km dari Dublin ). Agak banyak ujian menimpa penulis dan seorang rakan ( Hailmi ) untuk pergi ke Cork ( mungkin kerana niat penulis yang x betul dan kurang amal ). Mengikut plan asalnyer, kami ingin menumpang seorang brother yg juga ingin menuju ke arah yg sama namun takdir Allah S.W.T, kebetulan brother tersebut telahpun bertolak awal kesana, so, kitorang decide untuk naik bas, namun bas terakhir adelah pukul 6 ptg sedangkan masa tu dah pukul 7 malam....last solution, kami decide utk naik train....pada mulanye nk bli secara online ( kerna lebih murah dalam20 euro jer ) namun disebabkan da suntuk masa ( train kol 8 mlm ) kitorang xleh bli secara online.....so, sorang brother yg pandu kitorang ke train station....dan meninggalkan kami disana....Dikaunter, apebila nk bli tiket, diberitahu bahawa harge tiket adelah 66 euro...fuhh...lebih mahal daripada tiket flight...apekan daye, korban kitorang x setinggi mane, kami decide utk cancel plan malam tu dengan istighfar dan pulang kerumah hailmi dan bertolak pada pagi keesokkannyer dengan menaiki bas ( 10 euro ).

Sabtu
dengan menaiki bas ke Cork yg mengambil mase 4 jam lebih utk sampai, kami tiba di Cork dalam pukul 12 lebih dan disambut oleh dr Ansar ( brother yg nusrah Jemaah Malaysia ). Jemaah Malaysia itu terdiri daripada 6 orang yg kesemuanye dari Penang...mereka datang menggunakan harta bende mereka sendiri tanpa bantuan daripada mana2 pihak, ambil cuti, dan tinggalkan keluarga tersayang di Malaysia untuk agama...begitulah org yg telah diberi kefahaman agama oleh Allah S.W.T....mereka datang jumper sume org2 islam di cork...student2 malaysia, brothers pakistan, bangladesh, dan lain2 dari pelbagai kaum....atas maksud yang satu...islam....Kekadang penulis terpikir....penulis dan pelajar2 yg lain perlu struggle dalam study dan lulus kursus persediaan utk sampai ke bumi ireland, namun, abg2 dan pakcik2 dalam jemaah ni still dapat sampai ke sini...itulah bantuan Allah S.W.T....malahan, selama mereka kat sini dalam 1 bulan, mereka da sampai ke tempat yg penulis sendiri x sampai lagi....lebih2 lagi mereka dah jumpe ramai org2 islam di ireland ni....bukan utk cakap2 kosong, namun utk mengajak manusia khususnyer org islam utk kembali kepada islam yg satu dan mengajak mereka utk bersama2 membuat kerja2 dakwah...kerana itulah tugas sebenar umat nabi S.A.W....

Ade ketika penulis dan seorang brother malaysia ni diutus oleh Amer jemaah utk pergi jumpe brother2 disekitar cork...dan kami berjumpa byk brother2 mainly pakistan dan bangladesh. kami masuk di ceruk2 perumahan, di kedai2, dan juga sehingga kedalam hospital....Rasa sedih apabila terjumpa dengan org islam namun jauh daripada ajaran islam...kesibukkan dunia sesungguhnye telah menyebabkan ramai umat islam bukan sahaja di bandar cork namun di seluruh dunia utk lalai daripada menunaikan kewajipan kepada Allah s.w.t seperti solat...jadi menjadi salah satu daripada tugas kita utk pergi jumpa mereka dan mengajak mereka utk sama2 berfikir, takut dan risau mengenai kehidupan di akhirat kelak. Namun itu bukanlah bermakna kita bertujuan mengubah mereka semata2 kerana hati manusia hanya boleh diubah oleh Allah S.W.T tapi, kerana kita ingin berusaha untuk diri sendiri dan secara tidak langsung mengajak org lain....

Ahad
kami terus meneruskan usaha utk pergi jumpa  seramai mungkin org2 islam disekitar Cork.....namun pada malam harinya, penulis dan hailmi terpaksa tangguh utk pulang kerana brother hailmi perlu ke kelas keesokkan harinye, dan penulis perlu pulang utk menyediakan diri menghadapi exam yg akan datang....diharap kita bersama2 mendoakan jemaah malaysia yg sedang berada di bumi ireland sekarang dan juga di serata dunia....semoga usaha yg sedikit ini menjadi asbab tersebarnye Hidayah Allah keseluruh alam...insyaAllah....


wassalam...
