back online

Its been quite a while since I last wrote a post. I was initially pretty confident that I would have no trouble managing my blogs. Well...the writing part is easy enough, but I didn't foresee that there would be trouble going online.

The faculty server blocks blogspot - we can read, but not open our accounts or post replies - and Azeezah's wi-fi broke down recently(maybe its back up now?). BISTRO's wi-fi is ok, but the price there is so maddening that I wouldn't go there just to use the free wi-fi. McD? - BOIKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

This comes to show that however well we plan, we are always under the suzerainty of Allah's Grand Plan. Humans may plan(and be puffed up to morbid obesity with the delusion of their prowess)...but Allah also has His Plans. And His Plans will always out rule and out maneuver our plans.





Alhamdulillah in the last few days I have had some new gadgets come into my posession which has allowed me to access the internet - virtually 24/7. Lots of love and thanks to mak and ayah for this^^

InsyaAllah from now on, internet access will no longer be a problem.

e-books list

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh...

As I promised, I've published a list of the e-books I have in hafizh's books. If any FPSK-ian or FPg-ian want them, just ask me any time. InsyaAllah I'll put up a list of the (paper) books I have soon(not too many at the moment).

Since I got them either from my brother(lots of thanks to ngah...may Allah accept your amal!!! This is how good deeds flower into more good deeds) or haluantarbawi.com which is currently offline for upgrading, I can't give any links from which to download them. If anyone knows of any sites or blogs where we can download islamic e-books, do share with everyone.

May Allah be pleased with all of us.

America and Unconventional weapons

OK...Seriously...humour is good but even it must have limits. Anyway I was(am still at the time of writing) searching for materials for my Special Study Module(SSM) under the key word 'unconventional weapons' when I came across this really funny article:

Panel Fears Use of Unconventional Weapon
WASHINGTON — An independent commission has concluded that terrorists will most likely carry out an attack with biological, nuclear or other unconventional weapons somewhere in the world in the next five years unless the United States and its allies act urgently to prevent that.
In a report to be released this week, the Congressionally mandated panel found that with countries like Iran and North Korea pursuing nuclear weapons programs, and with the risk of poorly secured biological pathogens growing, unconventional threats are fast outpacing the defenses arrayed to confront them.
“America’s margin of safety is shrinking, not growing,” the bipartisan panel concluded.
...
“Unless the world community acts decisively and with great urgency, it is more likely than not that a weapon of mass destruction will be used in a terrorist attack somewhere in the world by the end of 2013,” the report states in the opening sentence of the executive summary.
...
Several of the recommendations are not new and have been pursued with varying degrees of success by the Bush administration. On Pakistan, for example, the panel urges the Obama administration to work with Pakistan to eliminate that country’s terrorist havens, secure its nuclear and biological materials, counter extremist ideologies and constrain a “nascent nuclear arms race in Asia.”
...
The commission urges the Obama administration to work to halt the Iranian and North Korean nuclear weapons programs, backing up any diplomatic initiatives with “the credible threat of direct action” — code for military action, a commission official said.
...
The commission also criticized the administration and Congress for not organizing themselves more effectively to combat the threat of unconventional weapons. The report recommended a single White House-level office or individual responsible for directing the nation’s policy to prevent the spread of unconventional weapons and their possible use by terrorists.

Like the 9/11 Commission, this panel called for overhauling the jurisdiction of the Congressional committee that reviews the proliferation of unconventional weapons. “Congressional oversight is dysfunctional,” the report concluded.
[By: Eric Schmitt, New York Times, 30 November 2008]

Now compare what you've read above with this:
"The Israelis are using a new type of very high explosive weapons which are called Dense Inert Metal Explosive (DIME) and are made out of a tungsten alloy. These weapons have an enormous power to explode."

"these weapons will have a cancer effect on those who survive. They will develop cancer we suspect."
"All that is happening in Gaza here now is against international law, it is against humanity"
"Almost all of the patients we have received have these sever amputations. They seem to have been affected by this kind of weapon. Of course, we have many fragment injuries and burns but those who have got their limbs cut off, constitutes quite a large proportion.
You know we have a lot to do. Palestinian doctors, nurses and paramedics do an incredibly heroic job to save their people. Doctor Eric and I are just a small drip in the ocean, but we learn from them." And then decide where do you stand.
We stand with the people of Palestine whose lives are being destroyed. We stand in solidarity with their struggle.
We stand for humanity against the US-Israeli war criminals.

Well so much for america getting rid of UNCONVENTIONAL WEAPONS.
But seriously...from the advocator of PEACE(?) and the hero of ridding the world of unconventional weapons(?) to the PERPETRATOR and ACCOMPLICE of WAR CRIMES using those very weapons they (supposedly) want to protect humanity against. The world can really turn upside down.
“America’s margin of safety is shrinking, not growing.”
Hmm...America might want to reconsider helping the Israeli zionists out.
After all...to them, gentiles are still gentiles (heck even their own Jewish brothers that don't help out have their lives forfeit)...and gentiles are just worthless dogs.
America's margin of safety keeps shrinking...
Though maybe from a whole other direction.

CAREFUL !!!

I was perusing through some discussions in a social network that I belong to when I came across a VERY IMPORTANT topic.
Although I've spread the word to all the e-mail groups I've joined, the gravity of the message was such that I have to spread it through all means available to me. This is the message. Please SPREAD THE WORD as far as you can, even if you already have in the past. A fresh reminder is always needed.

Books

Assalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh...
To my dearest parents, my cute little brothers(although all of you are taller or on the way to becoming taller than me :p ), my dear friends, and every muslim who have sworn themselves to Allah on the day they declared themselves as muslims.
May all of you be ever in Allahs care...

Why the sudden elaborate greeting?...well...As I was walking here(azeezah station) I suddenly remembered this responsibility of ours as muslims - to spread the love of Islamic brotherhood. The first one to greet his brother is the better one, even though the initial greeting is only sunat whereas replying is wajib. The companions of the Prophet SAW always tried to best each other at being the first to greet his brother.

Anyhow...

When I opened my blog just now I found a very interesting comment dropped by one of my friends in hafizh's books.

It was suggested that I put up links to the websites where I download all my ebooks. A very good idea that I didn't think of. InsyaAllah I'll try to do that as soon as possible.

An easier way I think - at least for the USIM Pandan people, is to just get the files from me. I have quite a few Islamic ebooks that I would really love to share with everyone.

Oh...and just for the record :p...I mostly buy my books(or rather, my PARENTS buy them). I have a small library in my room(most of the stuff I 'borrow' from our family library at home). I'd be more than glad to lend anyone these books. The guys are more than welcome to come and have a look, and for the ladies...insyaAllah I'll put up a list of the books I currently have(I returned quite a few to the main library back home when I went back for the GP posting).

Anyway...If anyone wants to see the books...just ask.

Thanks for idea usop.

Our greatest weapon

"Nay, Allah is your Protector, and He is The Best of Helpers.

Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, for that they joined partners with Allah, for which He sent no authority: their abode will be the fire: and evil is the home of the wrongdoers"

[Surah Aali-Imran 3 : 150-151]


"Those to whom men said: "A great army is gathering against you, so fear them": but it (only) increased their faith: they said: for us Allah sufficeth, and He is the best Guardian".

[Surah Aali-Imran 3 : 173]

Our prayers and our supplications before Allah is the greatest weapon, whether we are at an advantage or at a disadvantage.

"For Allah is He Who gives (all) sustenance - Lord of Power, Steadfast (forever)".

[Surah az-Zaariyaat 51 : 58]

In these hard days - that shall not be over until Palestine (which includes what is now the illegal terrorist state of israel) is once again in our hands, Islam is once again the supreme Guardian of the world - when our brothers and sister in Palestine are being slaughtered by the minute, when we ourselves are being pelterred with ma'siat left and right, let us continue to forward the qunut Nazilah to Allah, The Lord of Power.

May He strengthen us, keep us steadfast on the one accepted path. The path to success or martyrdom.

InsyaAllah a 3 part guide for performing the qunut Nazilah will be published in the next 3 days on hafizh's cie. May Allah Allah accept our efforts and prayers. Ameen.

Damaskus bercucuran air mata

Ketika serangan udara Zionis keatas kota Gaza pertama kali bermula sabtu yang lalu pada 27 Disember 2008 saya menerima e-mail daripada seorang kawan di Damaskus, Syria. Beginilah bunyinya sebahagian isi suratnya:


"Masjid-masjid di seluruh Damaskus basah oleh air mata para jama'ah, ketika para imam menutup rakaat terakhir solat Asar tadi dengan Qunut Nazilah yang menggetarkan. Para imam itu mengangkat tangan ke langit dan berdoa":


"Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, Wahai Yang Maha Hidup Yang Maha Memelihara,


Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, Wahai Yang Maha Hidup Yang Maha Memelihara,


Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, Wahai Yang Maha Hidup Yang Maha Memelihara,


turunkan para Malaikatmu untuk membantu para Mujahidin di Gaza dan Seluruh Palestin, sebagaimana telah kau turunkan ribuan Malaikat di Badar, di Khandaq dan di Tabuk.


Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, Wahai Yang Maha Hidup Yang Maha Memelihara,


ringankanlah penderitaan saudara-saudara kami di Gaza, kuatkanlah terus generasi baru dari antara anak-anak mereka, menjadi generasi yang akan membawa kami kepada kejayaan Islam di dalam Jihad fii Sabiilillah.


Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, Wahai Yang Maha Hidup Yang Maha Memelihara,


janganlah Kau biarkan kami termasuk orang-orang yang berpangku tangan melihat kezaliman keatas saudara-saudara kami.


Daftarkan nama-nama kami dalam daftar panjang para Mujahidin Mukhlisin dan para Syuhada yang menjemput Syurga-Mu.


Jangan Kau biarkan dunia yang hina ini melingkupi kehidupan kami sampai lupa pada Negeri Akhirat-Mu.


Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum, Wahai Yang Maha Hidup Yang Maha Memelihara,


anugerahkan kepada kami kesabaran memegang teguh agama-Mu dan wafatkan kami dalam keadaan Muslim."
