Filem Kita

Korang nak jadi pelakon terkenal? Korang memang dah siap-siap jadi pelakon pun kat pentas dunia ni. Tiap-tiap kita melakonkan filem biografi sendiri. Action!!!

Skrip kehidupan

Semua pelakon dah diberikan skrip sejak 1430 tahun dulu. Ada 114 babak. Semua watak ada tertulis dalam tu, hero tak hero, samseng, pailang, spy pailang, pilih je nak watak mana. Kalau dah hidup tunggang langgang maka korang bacalah skrip pailang ye. Kalau baik maka ikut skrip hero kita Sayyidina Muhammad s.a.w. Ikut betul-betul insyaAllah boleh masuk Hall Of Fame sama dengan dia. Kalau tak, ada can masuk Hall Of Flame dengan Abu Jahal fdam.

Plot Cerita

Cerita tiap-tiap orang tak sama. Ada cerita sedih, ada cerita komedi, cerita adventure dan macam-macam lagi. Ni bukan cerita hollywood atau hindustan, hero kalah dulu, orang jahat gerenti kecundang. Kadang-kadang hero kalah memanjang, orang jahat pulak yang senang. Dah ceritanya dikarang oleh yang Maha Besar, sukahati Dia nak buat cemana. Bukan kira menang kalah kat dunia, ini baru intro aje. Kat akhiratlah cerita sebenarnya.

Durasi Cerita

Maha Suci Dia nak tentukan cerita kita panjang mana. Ada feature film, ada jugak short film. Dia aje yang tahu. Korang perlu perbaikkan watak dan 'lakonan' sahaja. Dia nak matikan watak korang bila-bila masa aje, jangan ingat korang hero tak boleh mati. Buat yang terbaik. Buat dengan penuh penghayatan. Kadang-kadang watak yang kita bawak kecik aje, dialog pun tak banyak, tapi kalau baik pembawakannya tentu dapat award. Watak utama dalam filem panjang meleret tapi melalut orang tengok pun menyampah.

Act 1 take 1

Cerita yang kita lakonkan sekarang Dia dah tulis siap-siap awal-awal lagi, sebelum dia buatkan set dan lokasi filem ni. Semuanya Dia dah prepare baik punya. Korang je perasan macam cerita ni korang yang karang. Tu yang berlakon ikut sesuka hati aje sampai lupa arahan Director. Patutnya apa yang dia suruh korang buat, apa yang Dia larang jangan buat, tapi korang buat bangang aje. Tu yang over-acting memanjang. Ingat, kita ada satu 'take' aje, so buat elok-elok laa. Baca dan fahamkan skrip jangan simpan je skrip atas gobok. Study cemana Rasulullah s.a.w bawak watak dia, cuba ikut dan jangan melalut.

Raja

Eloklah kita beradab dengan raja tapi kenapa kita biadab sangat dengan Raja Segala Raja? Ni bukan sembah durhaka tapi sah-sah masuk neraka. Korang rasa korang tu sapa? King Kong?

Kita beradab dengan raja, bila dijemput ke istana, happy tak terkata.

Tapi dengan Raja Segala Raja, jemput ke masjid, kita buat derk aje.

Kita beradab depan raja, pakai habis smart, tempah spesel lagi gitu.

Tapi depan Raja Segala Raja, solat pakai pelikat aje, kekadang tak berbaju.

Kita beradab dengan raja, nak ke istana esok, malam ni dah bersiap.

Tapi dengan Raja Segala Raja, nak ke masjid liat, malam nak tahajud jangan harap.

Kita beradab dengan raja, dia suruh apa kita buat, tak banyak cakap.

Tapi dengan Raja Segala Raja, dia suruh solat pun tak buat, buat pun sambil sangap.

Kita beradab dengan raja, apa dia tak suka kita tak buat, takut dikata derhaka.

Tapi dengan Raja Segala Raja, kita buat apa kita suka, tak takut masuk neraka.

Kita beradab dengan raja, tak kira siapa kita, depan dia semua rakyat biasa.

Tapi dengan Raja Segala Raja, kita kira siapa kita, orang besar saf depan tu biasa.

Kita beradab dengan raja, bila dia ada kita rasa hina, rasa rendah diri.

Tapi dengan Raja Segala Raja, mana pernah Dia takde, masih jugak tak sedar diri.

Kita beradab dengan raja, nak mengadap punyalah takut, rasa longgar sendi lutut.

Tapi dengan Raja Segala Raja, mana ada takut, tu yang solat otak melalut.

Kita beradab dengan raja, dipanggil mengadap pun dah rasa bertuah.

Tapi dengan Raja Segala Raja, dengar azan pun kita menyampah.

Kita beradab dengan raja, sanggup menunggu berjam-jam lama sebab nak jumpa.

Tapi dengan Raja Segala Raja, solat lima minit pun dah kira lama,

Key to Paradise

In the name of Allah the Most Mercyful and Most Compassionate

For those who is looking for a way toward heaven

To enter Eden you need a key

You need to make the key here in this world, this life

The key consist of certain combination

Before you came into this world you remember the combination

You have it with you all along all this while

However as we get older we tend to forget

Somehow it is embedded in your heart

To recall them you need to perform certain deeds

Your heart knows when you hit the right numbers

Just like a click when you try to open a safe

Remember the number

Find the right combination

The right order

Follow through all the way through your life

And you surely will find your way to paradise

That's why Aishah said that The Prophet was a walking Quran

He is the key

The correct combination

He live the way all of us should live our lives

He is the answer to our quest

The quest to the path toward paradise.

Hidup Selama-lamanya

Teringat lagu dulu-dulu 'Who Wants To Live Forever' oleh kumpulan Queens, siapa la nak hidup selama-lamanya kalau hidup melarat ye tak, tapi kalau kaya tentunya kita kalau boleh tak nak mati, tua kecut kerepot pun telan pil multi-vitamin nak panjangkan usia. Kalau jumpa malaikat Izrail pun nak mintak extent barang setahun dua lagi.

Semua kita hidup selamanya?

Korang ingat korang mati ke? Yang keras kejung tu jasad korang, bila dah tercabut roh. Korang tak mati sebenarnya, berpindah alam aje. Pasni korang hidup di alam barzakh la pulak sementara menunggu kiamat. Macam mana life korang kat sana? Korang tengok le apa lifestyle yang korang dok amal sekarang. Ramai tak ambil pot sebab so far takde yang dah ke sana patah balik untuk cerita kat kita.

Sebelum ni kita hidup macam mana?

Kalau sebelum ni korang hidup tak reti nak bertuhankan Allah dan berNabikan Muhammad s.a.w, makna kata, apa yang Tuhan suruh korang buat bangang, sunnah Nabi korang takde nak amal, korang ingat hidup kat dunia ni aje yang korang kejarkan, hidup korang di alam yang seterusnya jangan mimpi nak hidup senang. Walhal semua tu janji Tuhan dan Dia tak sekali-kali mungkiri janji. So apa tunggu lagi? 

Lepas ni kita hidup macam mana?

Kalau korang nak 'rest in peace', kat dunia ni kena la buat kerja sikit. Kerja dunia tu tak payah ceritalah semua orang tahu tapi kerja akhirat. Cari la bekal, tapau la pahala mana mampu, dosa-dosa yang lepas mintak ampun tobat sungguh-sungguh, kalau boleh cari masa belajar ilmu agama, dah ada ilmu tu ajar la kat anak bini. Jangan nanti korang kena belasah kat alam satu lagi kes anak bini korang buat kerja mengarut kat dunia ni sebab masa hidup dulu korang takde nak ajar tu yang diorang kurang ajar. 

Korang nak hidup macam mana?

Kalau kira semua orang dalam kubur nak layanan VIP, nak selamat, nak 'live happily ever after'. Sukahati korang la nak pilih tapi jangan dah sampai sana baru menyesal sebab kat alam ni korang main-main, lalai, leka, engkar, malas, mengada-ngada, banyak songeh dan sebagainya. Korang mengaku percaya pada hari akhirat, pada hari pembalasan, tapi korang tak pulak beramal untuk menempuhi alam yang seterusnya. Korang nak enjoy kat dunia, nak joli katak, nak layan kepala, 'live life' konon...life kat sana apa cerita? 

THE MATRIX

Duit.

Duit boleh belikan tiket untuk korang ke syurga, tapi ramai yang tempah tiket ke neraka. Kenapa? Diorang takde akal ke? Tiket nak ke neraka pun kena bayar ke? Bukan free ke? Mahal ke tiket nak ke syurga? Kenapa kebanyakan tiket ke syurga ditempah oleh orang miskin sampaikan Nabi ada doa untuk mintak jadi miskin? Apa yang kita semua tak tahu atau buat-buat tak tahu? 

Apa ada pada duit?

Siapa taknak duit kan? Siapa pulak nak duit dia dapat kat orang lain ye tak? Kalau korang rasa duit adalah segalanya maka korang dah mengangkat duit lebih utama dari sepatutnya. Korang tak sanggup nak berpisah dengan duit yang korang ada macam Encik Krab dalam Sponge Bob. Korang tak boleh hidup tanpa duit. Korang tak sanggup berpisah dengan duit. Korang sanggup buat apa sahaja untuk duit. Pernah tak korang tukar perkataan 'duit' tu dengan 'Tuhan'?

Duit siapa pada kita?

Kalau dah dok dalam wallet korang tentu le korang yakin duit tu korang punya kan? Kalau korang bagi derma pun korang rasa korang la yang bagi rezeki kat orang yang terima duit korang tu kan? Tak ke camtu? Korang nak orang yang terima duit dari korang tu berterima kasih kat korang, kenang budi korang, hormat kat korang. Kat mana Tuhan dalam senario ni? Pastu korang mengaku koranglah yang pemurah dan korang nak Tuhan ingat kemurahan hati korang yang suka berderma tu kan?

Ada duit semua boleh jadi?

Memang bila ada duit semua boleh jadi. Jadi takbur, jadi tamak, jadi angkuh, jadi riak, suma'ah, dan jadi macam-macam lagilah. Jangan salahkan duit tu bro.! Duit tu tak menanggung dosa atau pahala. Pokok pangkalnya korang. Korang bila tak berduit komplen kat Tuhan tapi bila berduit tak berapa nak ingat Tuhan. Pastu korang sangka kalau dah ada banyak duit korang dah tak sibuk nak kejar dunia dan boleh beribadat dengan tenang walhal kat luar tu korang tengok orang yang ada duit semua huru-hara mengejar projek, menguruskan bisnes, bizi siang malam, lupa keluarga, lupa sejadah...dan korang masih percaya duit boleh memberi kebahagiaan dunia dan akhirat.

Syukur dengan pemberian dan apa yang diberi.

Ada duit syukur, takde duit sabar ajelah. Cukup ke bersyukur dengan memuji Tuhan aje? Tuhan suruh buat apa dengan duit tu tak pulak korang buat. Mana zakat? Mana sedekah? Nak tunggu duit banyak dulu baru boleh buat semua tu ke? Korang tengok orang yang banyak duit dari korang buat camtu ke? Bukan ke lagi kedekut, lagi kemut, lagi bakhil tahap nauzubillah? Apa beza korang dengan diorang? Siapa lagi dermawan, jutawan yang menderma seribu ringgit atau si fakir yang menderma singgit sahaja kerana dia cuma ada itu aje? Pastu korang nak serah pakai cek besar bagi semua makhluk kat dunia nampak. Korang ingat Tuhan tak nampak ke? Pilihan di tangan korang. Nak book flight ke syurga atau sebaliknya. Korang fikirlah sendiri!

Business Tips

(Another attempt at translating an article in here to English for those who missed out the one written in Malay.)

Want to know about a business with guaranteed profit, without risk, success confirmed as long as you do it with clear heart and passion...and you have the most famous and revered person of all time as your guarantor, His Excellency The Prophet Muhammad ; peace be upon him.

Recycling the world for the hereafter

Everything on earth will never last forever, be it tomorrow or the day after, it will surely deteriorate. For instance, our dear selves, we shall perish at anytime, only that we haven't got our 'expiry date' engraved on our forehead. Everything that we have today is not given to us for us to take for granted. For those who know how to plant and use this world we are in right now, to pluck the fruit of their effort in the hereafter, shall enjoy the boundless profit  that last forever. Therefore, what are we fighting for here? Give and you shall get. What you give, you get back.

Monetary exchange

This is not your usual money exchange but exchanging what you have into goods that will last forever. Just give out to those in need, the orphanage, the less fortunate, the weak, the scholars, those are the outlets for divine monetary exchange. So, since we all agree that we shall take the flight to the 'otherside' at anytime, where the currency wouldn't be in Ringgit Malaysia, American Dollar or Dinar, what are waiting for? Don't worry about the current exchange rate because you will always be a winner and if you are blessed, you wont know how to count what you get.

Public Service

Maybe you haven't got much of a capitol to start up with these so-called business, you can still donate your time and energy. Whatever that you have, know, good at, whatever!...Just use it for the sake of God, you will never loose in anyway. Teach whatever you know...you have strength, work...you have time, spend it wisely for His sake. Don't ever think that He doesn't pay you in return. He can give more than what we could ever imagine but the problem with us is haste. We want it right here and right now (that's why we hesitate to do good) even when He have repeatedly reminded us in His Holy Qur'an that what you shall get in the hereafter is so much more in value and would last forever. Be patient. Maybe today is the last day we live and work for Him on this world, tomorrow might be the beginning of a new and beautiful life after death. Who knows!

Fixed Deposit

Where do you keep all what you get from your labour? If you still keep it in your bank accounts, you are in for a big surprise my dear. What you have now in there wont help you one bit if you are to be six feet under (which you will and surely will be except knowing when), you know what I mean. Why don't you open a saving account at the Bank Of God and you'll see that He will multiply what you put in as much as He like. It is a saving that will save you and your soul both at the same time. Where can it be found? It is wherever you put in the name of God, may it be in the hands of the poor, the unfortunate, the orphans, the needy and so much more. Don't worry about form-filling. There's an angel for that right by your right side to do all the accounting (and do give the one on your left a break from writing down all your sins all these while). So, forget stingy, forget greed, hoarding whatever...do it for God and God alone. Be honest... Be-lieve! After all, isn't it stated on the dollar notes...'In God we trust'? 

CCTV english version

This is a trial for an english blog that I am planning to construct but yet to find the time to translate articles from this site for those alien to Malay language. 

Nowadays there's CCTV everywhere. That's good, for safety. People are more aware thet they are being watched and less crimes. Unfortunately people seldom realize that they're constantly watched upclosed no matter where they are all the time. ALL THE TIME! 24-7!

Guardian angels

They are not your ordinary apartment guard at the gate but they're there to write down all your deeds, good or bad, big or small. You'll get to see what they have in there once you are face to face with God. Get it handed to you by your right hand, nice...otherwise, good luck Buddy!

Playback

On your deathbed ( or wherever death finds you ), inhaling the few last breath you got left, there'll be a premier viewing of your life. A flashback show of all your life story in a flash. When they say that your life flashes in front of your eyes, they weren't kidding! If what you see is nice and dandy, you'll be smilling through your ears but if the movie is more like a horror or parental advisory kind of film, you knew what the critics would be like. Therefore, be nice. I mean it. This is your 'reality TV show', you are the candidates. When you get "You're Fired!" from God, it mean you get hell fire and its really HOT.

Line clear

Remember when you were kids and you sent someone to watch your back while you are up to no good? There's nothing that God over sees. Even what goes in your heart God knows. There's no such thing as 'line clear', you're always clearly seen...and clearly heard. The problem is, most of us aren't afraid of God. We all fear getting caught by the police, the guards, disciplinary teachers, parents and such. What are we going to answer to God when our tapes are played to public back there?

Delete

If you're trying to change for good, repent, through with all the sins you've done but can't get over all the bad things you've done, don't feel hopeless. God loves people who want to find their way back to Him. Repent thoroughly and continuously. Think nice of Him. Do not give up hope even when you've done bad deeds as high as the mountain or as deep as the ocean. If you're lucky, all the recording will be deleted, even when you've asked forgiveness to the people that you've wronged but they still think you're evil. Forget about them. The point is what God think of you, not them. They're not the one doing all the accounting there in the hereafter.
