Knowledge is something afar


العلم شىء بعيد المرام
Knowledge is something afar

لا يصاد بالسهام

Cannot be hunted with arrows

ولا يورث عن الاباء والاعمام
Nor inherited from fathers and uncles

بل هو شىء لا يدرك الا باافتراش المدار

Nay, it is not achieved except by making the earth as one’s bed (always being in the mosque)

وارتخاء الحجر
And (feeling the ) softness of the stone (of the floor of the mosque)

وكثير النظر
And a lot of seeing (and thinking - that is reading and observation)

وكثرة الفكار
And a lot of thinking

واجتهاد فى كتب البحار
And striving (looking for knowledge) in oceans of books (giving detailed explanations of things)

Animals Love Quran

Cheer up your life!
There was a chipmunk climbing up a tree.
I stopped to look at him and he stopped to look at me.
When I said hello he didn’t understand and he went to runaway.
I recited some Quran and he decided to say.

Animals love to hear Quran, try it out someday.
They’ll stop and listen carefully to every word you say.
Allah created animals, Allah created man.
And he sent a book to guide us all, even animals love Quran.

Sitting at my window to ponder at the sky,
I saw a little bird as it flew by.
I recited some Quran, and it wasn’t very long,
Till the bird sat near my window and decided to sing along.

Animals love to hear Quran, try it out someday.
They’ll stop and listen carefully to every word you say.
Allah made the chipmunks and the birds, Allah created man.
And he sent a book to guide us all, even animals love Quran.

Playing in the yard on a warm sunny day,
A shy little kitten watched me play.
I bent down to pat him on the head but I think he was scared of me.
I recited some Quran; she smiled and brushed against my knee.

Animals love to hear Quran, try it out someday.
They’ll stop and listen carefully to every word you say.
Allah created animals, Allah created man.
And he sent a book to guide us all, even animals love Quran.
Animals love to hear Quran, try it out someday.
They’ll stop and listen carefully to every word you say.
Allah created animals, Allah is Ar-Rahman.
Cause he sent a book to guide us all, even animals love Quran.
Allah made horses and dogs and bats and camels and gnats and pigs and coes and spiders and chickens and elephants and crocodiles and dolphins and beavers and sheep; lions and zebras and whales and emus...

But he sent a book to guide us all even animals love Quran

Suhu naik dan permata hati

Dublin semakin panas. Begitu juga suhu badan, semakin nak demam rasanya - mungkin disebabkan oleh stress.

Minggu ini datang lagi seorang tetamu dari Kanada, Sheikh Ziaullah Khan ditaja oleh FOSIS. Jika tidak dapat hadir ke ceramahnya bolehlah ke www.lightuponlight.com, untuk melihat rakaman video ceramah-ceramah beliau yang lepas.

Menyentuh isu kartun yang hangat sehangat mentari pagi, delete saja apa-apa email yang diforward yang mengandungi kartun tersebut. Do not let your curiosity overpower you. Dengar saja pasal kartun tersebut saja dah cukup meluat, apatah lagi kalau dilihat!

IMHO, hate speech is not a free speech. Its an abuse. Period. But of course over-reaction causes harm and violence too - then leaving those Islamophobes able to chant their slogan (whatever their slogans are) loudly. The result? The masses confused...

...

Minggu depan juga, Islam Awareness Week anjuran UCD Islamic Society, dan World Chechnya Day dibawakan khas oleh Trinity College Dublin Muslim Student Association. Memang meriah sungguh Dublin kali ini. Marilah warga Dublin kita manfaatkan peluang yang ada...

Alhamdulillah Praktica L2 beserta glassnya (50mm f2.8 Domiplan) sekali telah tiba di Sheffield. Yashica 35MF pun sama. Hmm... bilalah aku bakal bertemu dengan dua permata hati ini? Tak sabar nak kembali kepada filem hitam dan putih - macam kembali ke pangkal jalan pula.

Ingatlah, perjalanan masih lagi jauh...

Ya Tuhan kami, berikanlah rahmat kepada kami dan sempurnakanlah bagi kami petunjuk yang lurus dalam urusan kami... (27, 28, dan 1hb nanti). Berusahalah... supaya lepas dan terus ke Beaumont!
