Salam wrt,
Baru sudah lepas lecture Microbiology tadi (menjeling-jeling orang sebelah yang dgn muka gembiranya dan bisikan "yes!"nya selepas cikgu melepaskan kami pergi). Next week, kita jumpa lagi ya, Maianskii! (InsyaAllah).
Maianskii ni mengingatkan aku kepada byk org... atuk aku especially. Teringat bagaimana atuk aku masih boleh tersenyum dan gelak ketawa bersama cucu-cucunya dan cicit-cicitnya tanpa kedua-dua belah kakinya. Masih boleh berbual dan menanyakan tentang pelajaran kami walaupun menahan kesakitan dan menelan ubat yang bermacam-macam colour setiap hari. Tak terlihat pun kesedihannya jika seorang cicitnya takut kepadanya kerana tidak mempunyai kaki yang sempurna. Atuk sudah lama meninggalkan kami - 7 years to be exact - terasa amat sunyi setiap kali aku menjejakkan kaki di 9th floor, flat 38, tanglin halt st. Semoga roh Atuk dicucuri rahmat olehNya...
Maianskii pula tidak berputus asa dalam perjuangannya, walaupun diuji dgn dua kali stroke! Dia tetap datang ke kelas untuk mengajar murid-muridnya. Kalau ada sahaja yang tidak kami fahami, dia sentiasa bersedia utk terangkan semula.
Minggu ini, Maianskii bg lecture ttg immunity, mainly about vaccination. But i'm more interested in immunity itself. I've drawn up this conclusion (merely hypothetical):
Daie = immune to rejections.
Undoubtedly, we will face endless rejections or even worse; taunts, insults and whatnot. But what I've learned from my own mistakes and others' experiences (which are unmistakably, much more than what little adversity i've gone through) is that with every obstacle that we face, whether we are willing to or not, we certainly MUST develop our own immunity towards it. The rejections may keep on coming, obstacles will keep rolling down our way but all we have to do is have faith. Have faith that with each rejection and each obstacle we face, it is to strengthen us.
Let us take an example from Prophet Nuh. His da'wah went on for 950 years but no matter what he did, his people still rejected him. To the point where they plugged their ears with their own fingers and covered their faces each time Nuh came to meet them (they were "that" disgusted of Nuh). But he never once gave up his da'wah in that 950 years of his life.
Rasulullah himself was acquainted with plenty of rejections and not merely verbal ones, he was even beaten, thrown stones at, boycotted by his own beloved people. And with that too, he still continued his da'wah. I'm sure many of us know about Prophet Muhammad's journey to Taif, after he was badly beaten and taunted at, he rested under a tree. Adas (a helper in a farm) came up to him and gave him grapes. Before eating them, Rasulullah recited basmallah. Adas was surprised to hear him recite basmallah and said "Wallahi, that is not something usually said by the people around here." The Prophet then asked Adas,"Dear Adas, where are you from and what is your faith?" Adas said,"I am a Nazareth from Ninawai." Prophet Muhammad asked him again,"Do you come from the same place as Yunus bin Matta, the loyal servant of Allah?" "What do you know of Yunus bin Matta?", Adas asked. "He was a Prophet, as am I." And with that, spontaneously Adas hugged the Prophet and kissed his hands.
How subtle and delicate the way Muhammad pbuh touched Adas, even after he received such great torment from the people of Taif.
Such great strength and will. Muhammad pbuh was able to continue his dakwah in so many colourful ways.
If it were to be compared with us, terasa betapa kecilnya pengorbanan kita untuk Ad-Deen ini! Betapa ringannya bantahan dan tohmahan yang kita terima berbanding Rasulullah SAW! Tetapi acap kali apabila ajakan kita ditolak, kita murung dan sedih tak berkesudahan.
Always remember (a reminder to yours truly too) that with every rejection we face, shouldn't stop us from doing what we are doing. Bukan kita yang berkuasa untuk memberi hidayah kepada orang, kerja kita hanya mengajak... mengajak kembali kepada fitrah, mengajak kembali kepada Islam... the rest is all up to Him. Jika yang diajak itu tidak mahu menerima (setelah diajak dgn penuh sungguh-sungguh dan bercurah peluh keringat), yes, maybe we are entitled to feel a bit dejected tapi selepas itu kita harus bangun kembali, kita harus develop immunity towards rejection (atau apa2pun yang menjadi penghadang ketika kita berlari).
"Serulah (manusia) kepada jalan Tuhanmu dengan hikmah dan pengajaran yang baik, dan berdebatlah dengan mereka dengan cara yang baik. Sesungguhnya Tuhanmu, Dialah yang lebih mengetahui siapa yang sesat dari jalan-Nya dan Dialah yang lebih mengetahui siapa yang mendapat petunjuk."
An-Nahl, 16:125

salam,,
jazakillah sesangat,,
terasa rendah sangat diri,,
buat dakwah asal buat usrah je,,,
xsungguh2, xmintak kekuatan dari Allah pon,,
orang dulu sampai kne halau, kne baling batu,,kte??
hmm,,teringat kata seorang sahabat,,jangan cakap ape2 pasal mad'u,,tgk kat diri dlu,,sampai kerr aper yang kte bagi 2 kat die..
hmm,,,
okay Farah, kte gerak same2 dengan takwin yang tersusun,,
sedar atau tak, da'wah sekarang kebanyakannya terlalu bercirikan yang 'extreme' sampai ramai orang rasa it's too much, or worse, avoid it. this is probably a way of showing how immunity is increasingly spreading amongst us.
not that i despise or look down on the efforts being put into it, but sadly da'wah nowadays merely seems to focus on people's FAULT, pointing fingers and blaming others rather than trying to bring people together to realize the goodness of having to sit together and give REMINDERS to each other.
that aside, maybe da'wah sekarang banyak diporak-perandakan agenda politik. another letdown.
harap2 kita sama2 berpesan-pesan dgn kebenaran dan kesabaran.
InsyaAllah...
to teko:
insyaAllah. iman al-'amiq, takwin tersusun dan amal yg berterusan! =)
to Kak Ieja:
yes, betul2.. dakwah is inviting people to Allah, not blaming others or finding fault in others (that would make them further away from Allah, wouldn't it?).. a friend of mine told me that there is a book entitled "robohnya dakwah di tgn daie"; sometimes, a daie has to be careful at what he does and what he says, or else it will not only jeopardize himself, but also Islam!
i like this reminder from Muaz bin Jabal, when he said,"ijlis bina nu'min sa'ah." marilah duduk dan beriman sejenak. short but sweet. =)
jazakillah, kak ieja for the reminder!
salam,
setuju dgn pendapat kak ieja, dakwah bukan cari kesalahan org tapi lebih kepada mengajak org ke arah kebaikan...thnaks kak!
and,,good post indeed farah ^_^
mudah2an kita belajar berlapang dada, sungguh-sungguhlah Allah sahaja yang memberi hidayah.
yup, dakwah hari ini banyak dipengaruhi ideologi dan perkumpulan-perkumpulan.
menjadikannya sangat-sangat sempit! sigh~
hey
Just saying hello while I read through the posts
hopefully this is just what im looking for looks like i have a lot to read.
If you’re like me when you first saw the term “arbitrage sports betting” you just said, “huh?” You may even be reading this article because you were wondering. It is a relatively little method that can actually allow you to make money no matter who wins or loses. Kind of like heads I win, tails I win!
Another way of identifying the best sports betting odds is to examine the money lines on the various sports books online. The quickest and simplest way to understand how to compute the odds and comprehend how the money line bet works is to take into consideration the amount of money one would have to bet in order to win one hundred dollars. Normally this figure is shown as a negative and a positive with the negative number indicating what one must wager to win x amount of dollars and the positive showing what one would win.

Switching a service located outside of the United States it not hard to do. In fact it is quite easy since there are many quality services to choose from. The most difficult thing that you will need to do is find the one that best suits your needs.
The most commonly occurring reason I have found for people consistently losing money at sports betting is that they have no "game plan". The most essential elements of a good game plan for betting purposes are a valid, proven Selection System and a proper Staking Plan. The Staking Plan alone won't cut it; first and foremost you must employ a worthwhile Selection System.
