Rejab 28th - Preparation for Tomorrow's Tilawah al-Quran

Today was July 31st, and tomorrows is August 1st. Only a few hours left before the Karinval Islam 2008 which will be held at St. Joseph Secondary School. I will taking part in Tilawah al-Quran category, and I will recite from Verse 1, Surah Muhammad. All Muslim Josephians are welcomed to watched the Karnival Islam (non-Muslim Josephians are also welcomed).
Today's lesson started with a fortnight assembly. As there was still no new principal, our Senior Assistant 1, Mdm Belinda Lim gave her speech. As usual, she 'lecturing' us about our attitude, especially towards cleanliness. Today also, three prefects (2007-2008 batch) were given awards for their contributions. Three new Head Prefects also announced during the assembly. However, everybody (I mean, the boys) were seemed to be glad to see the third one, a girl (to be accurate, a pretty, hot girl), but not including me (control la katakan, hehehe...).

Today's lesson started with Additional Mathematics. I missed the whole class due to a simple taklimat for tomorrow's event. During the taklimat, existed in my heart a hatred towards the students who attend the taklimat. Not because of them, but because of their attitude. Very rude, keep making noise, did not respect the one who give the taklimat. I began to wonder, 'is this the real face of Muslims Josephians?'.

During PJ session, I did not fo to the field to play football. Instead, I made full use of the time to finish my KOMSAS homework. Then, I had a little chat with Amir Hakim, talking about my soccerfobia (if you don't know what soccerfobia mean, it's better for you to ask Amir Hakim), helping him about some hard Additional Mathematics questions, etc.

Then was Chemistry. Today, we conducted an experiment determining the factor affecting the selective electrons in electrolysis. To be simple, today's experiment was a total failure. It's better for me not to tell you the whole thing about the experiment.

After recess was History class. I tried to give my full concentration in this class, as I don't want to fail this subject anymore (to be accurate, I'm not fail, but having bad marks for good class). After that was Bahasa Melayu class. Pn Halipah gave us back our Paper 1. After correcting some calculation mistakes and adding the extra 5 marks (for passing up our correction), I got 72%.

Our last class for today was Biology. Today, Hjh Rosni taught us about the digestive system in rodents, and then the comparison between human's digestive system, ruminent's digestive system and rodent's digestive system. Although the weather was hot (as it's geeting to be noon), I tried my best to concentrate in the class. Arghh, I hungry....

After performed solat zuhur at the surau, I recite some Quranic Verses. Then, I watched the behaviour of Form 3 students (I forgot which class) under the control of Ustazah Mona. I was very sad when watching their very bad behaviour. To choose an imam took half an hour. And the imam always gigling when leading the prayer even though the other did not disturb him, and the other kept disturbing him.

I think 'the time' is getting nearer and nearer...

Rejab 27th - Israk and Mikraj: Prophet Muhammad's Enermous Journey

Today was 27th of Rejab. In this day Prophet Muhammad (peace may be upon him) travelled from Masjid al-Haram at Makkah to Masjid al-Aqsa (located near the Solomon's Palace) at Palestin, and then from Masjid al-Aqsa to Sidratul Muntaha (the highest sky) in just one night. This journey happened in 621 AD, a year before Prophet Muhammad and the other Muhajirins doing hijrah.
This event already stated in a Verse of al-Quran: "Limitless in His Glory is He Who had His servant (Muhammad) travel by night from the Sacred Mosque (in Makkah) to the Farthest Mosque (in Palestine), whose surroundings We have blessed, in order that We might show him some of Our Signs (of Power and Glory). He Alone indeed is the All-Hearing, All-Seeing." (Surah al-Isra' : Verse 1).

This journey started when Angel Jibril and Mikail came to Prophet Muhammad and brought him from Masjid al-Haram to Masjid al-Aqsa using Buraq. Buraq is a kind of animal which its speed is faster than light. This journey (journey from Masjid al-Haram to Masjid al-Aqsa) is called Israk.

During this Israk, Prophet Muhammad (peace may be upon him) saw a few events which give lesson to the whole Muslims, such as:
  1. Prophet Muhammad was told about the past and the future that will happen, which he was aksed by Jibril to perform solat at Kota Thaibah (the place that he and the Muhajirins will go in hijrah, ie. Madinah), at Tursina (the place where Allah having conversation to Moses) and at Bethelem (the Jesus' place of birth).
  2. Jibril taught Prophet Muhammad how to face Ifrit (the stongest jin) from the jin group which disturbing him with a doa (prayer).
  3. Prophet Muhammad saw a group of men bring a really heavy woods, but they kept adding the weight even though it was too heavy for them. Jibril told Prophet Muhammad that that group were the greedy people. They receiving tasks, but they did not want to do it, and they still want to have power, fame and high position.
  4. Prophet Muhammad also saw a group of men swimming in a blood ocean. Jibril told him that the group were the people who receiving interest (riba'/faedah in BM).
  5. Prophet Muhammad also saw a group of men cutting their tongues. When their tongues combined back, they cut it again and the tongues combined again. Jibril told him that this group was the people who always telling lies.
Then, from Masjid al-Aqsa, Jibril brought Prophet Muhammad to Sidratul Muntaha, the highest sky, to meet Allah. This journey was called Mikraj. During Mikraj, Prophet Muhammad receiving an order from Allah to perform solat. Actually, Allah ordered him and the Muslims to perform 50 solats day and night. However, Moses advised Prophet Muhammad to ask from Allah to reduce the number of solat. This process continued until it became 5 solats.

That was brief description about Israk and Mikraj.

Rejab 26th - A Busy Day, Still the Second Lost...

When I was walking from the staff room to my class, I felt something wrong will happen this day. However, I ignored that intuition. Unfortunately, the intuition turned into reality and I regretted for ingoring it.
Today's lesson started with Biology class. Most of the time used to give us explanation about writing discussion in our Biology PEKA. It was very simple to preparing discussion part. We no need to answer the questions in our practical book and only need to follow our teacher's instruction.

Then was Additional Mathematics class. Today's Mdm Liew present so most of us disappointed (me too). Today she taught us about locus in Cartesian graph. We was taught how to form equation of a locus. o.O How? Very difficult, right? Actually, it's easy.

After recess was Bahasa Melayu class. Pn Halipah told us that the highest mark for Section B Paper 1 is 80. It's Kelvin Jong's. I only got 65 (Credit). And my Section 1 only managed to get 19 (Satisfactory). This made up my BM mark into 66%.

Then was English class. We still learnt about The Lotus Eater. After class, she told us about our EST paper. So far, Roland Teo's paper is the highest mark among us. I only managed to get 54%. :| I just accepted it with patience. This is my first bad luck today.

After today's lesson, I went to the surau to pray. However, Allah seemed to test me again. After I finished performing solat rawatib for zuhur, I lost my necktie and my monitor class badge. I just put it at the place where everyone can see it. And during that time, 4D, 4E and 5B class were using the surau also under Ustaz Manaf's control.

After tried finding them at every place in the surau, I decided to make a report at Pn. Fatimah. As a result, she 'lecutring' me a little bit because this was the second time I lost something related to class monitor.

After that, I decided to go home. It's no use I finding there anymore as I wasted too much time. And I need to prepare Civic report. So I went home with disappointment and sadness in my heart. I was sad not because I lost my necktie and the badge, but because my own brother (saudara seislam) stole my things. This was what happened to our young Muslim generation right now. In the holy place they still can doing crime.

There were still got something bad happened to me, but I decided not to write it here. Let me kept it secret until one time.

"O Allah, The One Who gave us the lost things
O Allah, The One Who shows where it is lost
please give me back my lost things with Your Power
Verily they are gifts from You."

Rejab 24th - Solar Eclipse and Solat Kusuf

After taking bath, I started my Physics homeworks, which was supposed to be finished by tomorrow (but don't worry, the teacher will only discussed. However, I wonder is this is a part of Josephian tradition?). After finishing one part of the exercise, I closed my books and opened my computer to read the latest news.
I was very shocked when I read a news about a solar eclipse which will occur this August 1st. o.O



Viewer's Guide: Aug. 1 Solar Eclipse
Friday, August 1 is a red-letter day for eclipse enthusiasts. On that date, the sun will be partially eclipsed over an immense area that includes western and central Asia, parts of northern and central Europe, all of Greenland and even a small slice of northeastern North America.

A total solar eclipse — the first in nearly two and a half years — will be visible along a narrow track that will start over the Northwest Passage of Canada, gives a glancing blow to northern Greenland, then shifts southeast through Siberia and western Mongolia and before ending near the famed Silk Route of China.

The path of totality for this upcoming eclipse is never more than 157 miles (252 km) wide.
[Extract from Yahoo! News]
o.O

The animation on the area affected by the eclipse

I started to feel fear, and maybe the other pious and have-deep-knowledge Muslims also felt the same feeling when they knew this news.

You know why?

Let me explain.

In Islam, one of the biggest signs of the Day of Resurrection (in other words, Hari Kiamat) is eclipses occur often. According to the Prophet Muhammad's sunnah, when an eclipse occured, it is encouraged to perform eclipse prayer. The reason is, we do not know when is the Day of Resurrection will happen (some say it will happen on Friday, but dunno the date). Maybe this Friday is the day. Only Allah knows when the date is. For lunar eclipse, the Muslims will perform solat Khusuf, and for solar eclipse is solat Kusuf.


However, coma into my mind, whether Muslims whose area are not in the area of the eclipse (umbra or penumbra) should also perform this prayer, same as the people whose area are in the umbra or penumbra area. Nevermind, I'll ask my teacher tomorrow.

For your information, our area (southeast Asia) will be affected by the annual solar eclipse on 26th January 2009.
Annular Solar Eclipse of January 26
The first solar eclipse of 2009 occurs at the Moon's ascending node in western Capricornus. An annular eclipse will be visible from a wide track that traverses the Indian Ocean and western Indonesia. A partial eclipse will be seen within the much larger path of the Moon's penumbral shadow, which includes the southern third of Africa, Madagascar, Australia except Tasmania, southeast India, Southeast Asia and Indonesia.

I bet you'll be surprise by the title of this entry, right? Well, don't laugh and don't underestimate again, again I warned you. I really want to participate Hadiah Sastera Kumpulan Utusan 2008 with my Islamic detective stories. It's now just getting the insipration and the time to write, since I'm very busy this week.

So, today's lesson started with Chemistry, which today Mdm. Michelle taught us about the factors affecting the selective electrons in an electrolysis. I'm felt very lazy due to cold weather this morning. After Chemistry was Physics. Mr Chong wanted us to do exercise on Chapter 2.

After recess, we have Pendidikan Islam class. Ustazah Mona taught us about company (as-Syarikah) and hutang (al-qardh). Next was English class with Mdm Jennifer. Today we learn about The Lotus Eater written by William Somerset Maugham. Then was Additional Mathematics. Becuase Mdm Liew absent for today, so a 'hot' woman teacher (according to some of my classmates, but not me) entered our class for sit-in.

Today also, during recess time, Mohd. Rafiq Mazlan, the leader of Ar-Riyadh club and the penganjur of Karnival Islam 2008 gave me a list of Quranic verses to be presented this Friday for Karnival Islam 2008. After a while, I decided to choose Surah Muhammad starting from Verse 1.

Rejab 23rd - My Life on Usual Saturday


This my my PC's new look after reformatting and reinstalling some programs. However, Winamp, Windows Media Player 11 and Realplayer cannot be used for a while because this PC missing some audio devices, and I already tried to correct it, but it still the same. And the background picture is made by using Kelk 2007 software, but not by me. What a nice calligraphy.
This morning I tried my new Microsoft Word 2007 by writing some craps in Arabic and Jawi. Only Allah knows how happy I am when I can type the Arabic and Jawi words by using keyboards, not using some sort of codes anymore.

Then I became very bored. No matter how I tired, I still felt bored, although I have took bath. At last, I decided to chat with someone. I chat with Zinnera Zahra (not the real name), an Arabic calligraphy fan and also Faisal Tehrani fan. In the beginning of our chat, she already told my mistakes chatting with her in Arabic language.



Well, I'm not a sekolah agama student, so my Arabic language is a little bit bad. But at least, I understand some words, because I already used to it when reciting al-Quran or reading hadis. =.=

She complained to me about some email we received which want to give us money or winning lottery. o.O



Well, I can do it, after learning how to make a virus from Kelvin Ting. But only for protecttion and giving lessons purposes. Don't worry. =P

Then, we both disucssed about political issue. This may be sensitive, so please read and understand carefully.



With an innocent and idiot 'look', I suddenly became confused what she mean by gelombang hijau. :))

Well, that's was I did until the noon.

* * * * * * * * * *
At 12.40 pm, my parents and me went for shopping to buy things for home. Actually, if I given the choices, I would choose not to follow them. However, because of my hair growing longer and longer, I have no choice except to follow them. After having lunch, we went to a saloon to cut my long hair.
After that, we went to The Spring. There, I took the opportunity to buy a book at MPH Bookstore there. Well, it's my habit to go to bookstore instead of other shop. at MPH, I bought a book entitled Pengurusan Masa Menurut Islam written by Sheikh Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi. He was a well-known 21st century Muslim scholar.


Sheikh Dr. Yusuf al-Qaradawi - giving a lecture

At 5.30 pm, we then went to Boulevard Shopping Complex to buy things also. As usual, I went to Popular Bookstore to find the latest AL ISLAM magezine, but failed to find there. Failing to find it, I took the opportunity to have a look at the Islamic books and reading Detective Conan comics. Well, I'm a big fan of Detective Conan series and Sherlock Holmes stories. Because of these two stories, now I'm writing detective stories. You can read my short stories here.

At 7.20 pm, we arrived at home. But my parent went out again to buy some vegetables.

To think about it deeply, I already missed three solats for today because of this. How can I tebus all of these?

Well, this was really happen every weekends.

* * * * * * * * * *
After finishing my first entry for today, I was told that I received a comment from Joyce. You know what, only Allah know how happy am I after a few days I have not receiving any from her neither messages nor comments. I quickly postponed my second entry and used the opportunity to chat with her.

Comments from Joyce :)

You can called me a perasan guy, but I was REALLY REALLY REALLY GLAD, especially when she said that my blog is interesting (I hope it is true, however).

This is really happen when a person fall in love.


[Joyce, good luck in your exam and piano practical exam... hehehe... (my usual trademark)]

Rejab 22nd - Maybe I Should Enter Sekolah Agama Earlier...

Today, I started my day with weird stuffs. At 1.10 am, my dad woke me up and showed me something. However, I could not see it because I have short-sightedness and need to wear my glasses. After wearing my glasses, I became very shocked because I saw a black little cat behind my family's television! It's the cat which always disturbing me and the other jemaah at the surau.
Today's lessons started with BM class. Pn Halipah did not give us back our Paper 1 as she have not finished marking our papers. Instead, she gave a lecture on how to elaborate our main points in our composition. According to her, the highest mark for Section A for our class is only 19 (Satisfactory only).

Then was English class. The class seemed to have a numb look, just like the poem we were learning today - There's Been A Death At The Opposite House by Emily Dickinson. Adrian said to me:

Adrian: (singing) Jennifer is crazy... Jennifer is crazy...
Me: I think you should form another society, change the Anti Lao Hu Society into the Anti Jennifer Lee Society (sarcasm intended).
Adrian: (stares at me with a weird expression)

After recess was EST time. We went to the library since Mdm. Jennifer have not finished marking our paper. To our surprise, there was a spot check on 4B, 3B and other suspected classes.

Then was Mathematics, following by Additional Mathematics. For Mathematics, we had simple but hard exercise on Probability. And for Additional Mathematics we learnt about perpendicular bisector in a Cartesian graph and how to find it by calculation.

Today, I managed to install Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 on this PC. And I still having problems with audio devices.

After leading the jemaah for solat Isyak, a woman (who praised me for good voice during azan) said that it was a pity I did not study at sekolah agama. Yeah, it was actually my mistake, not taking Bahasa Arab Komunikasi when I was in Form 1.




[Ahh... whateverlah... just continue what you are doing now]

Rejab 21st - Successfully Installing Programs...

Today's lesson started with Additional Mathematics class, which can drove you crazy because Add Maths is add mads to our mind (just joking, quoted from Adrian Ho). The teacher teaching us about Perpendicular Lines. Honestly, I prefer algebraic and function topics rather than geometry coordinates and statistics. But, thanks to Miss Chua, because of her teachings I still remember the way to find the gradient correctly. However, I still tend to make careless mistake.

Then was the PJ time!! I joined Everard, Kelvin Jong and the others team to play football. During the session, I managed to stop some trials to score to our goal post. However, they managed to get 3:1 against us. The funniest times were when Baxter with 'Matrix' style avoiding Emmanuel's sudden kick and Lester's style (which always to make 'sabit' style but failing to score).

Then was Chemistry time. We still continuing our electrolysis experiment, this time we using dilute sulphuric acid. I volunteering myself to handle the acid, but then I felt regret because of the fear to the acid. Luckily the acid is only dilute. But the acid became more concentrated as the electric current flowing in the circuit. And Emmanuel asked me to collect the hydrogen gas for three times, only wanted to see the explosive 'pop' sound, which made me then had to be brave handling the acid.

After recess was the History class. Pn. Rauzan gave us back our paper, and as usual I got 70% (haven't added with the extra mark, which including our exercise mark). After that, she gave us exercise on Kerajaan Turki Uthmaniyah and Pertembungan Islam. I managed to finished it before bell rang.

After History was Bahasa Malaysia class with Pn Halipah. Today she commenting us about our essays, especially in using 'bombastic' words. She advised us to make the examiner feel easy when marking our paper. That means, it's better not to use too much 'bombastic' word, especially not in the correct situation.

Then it was Biology time. Today we conducted an experiment to determine the concentration of vitamin C of different solution. We (me, Everard, Barry Malcolm, Maurice and Jonathan) used lime juice and tomato juice. While the others still busy with the experiment, I went to Kelvin Jong's group. They using pineapple to get the juice. Pn. Hjh Rosni took the opportunity to eat a little bit of the pinapple, following by me. =P As for the conclusion, today's experiment was successful.

After class, I went to surau to pray. However, Nadzmi had invited me to have lunch at Kopi-O Korner. We went there after meeting Ustaz Manaf. Ustaz Manaf gave us back our Tasawwur Islam paper and the others.

After having lunch and performing solat zuhur, I and Nadzmi went to the library to calculate our marks and the others mark for Tasawwur Islam. There, we met Kelvin Ting who was trying to answer some of the questions from his Chemistry reference book. W chatting among ourselves anything and in the same time I and Nadzmi calculating our marks. I got 95% for Tasawwur Islam paper, although I learnt last minutes for Paper 2, which resulting some of the mistakes.

When I arrived at my home, the first thing I did is installing some of the programs needed to my PC. The antivirus software I used was McAfee which was better than AVG. However, I still cannot downloading the audio devices needed so that I can hear musics. Kelvin Ting, help me....

Rejab 13th - Qiyamullail Camp in Proposal...

Today's lesson began with one-period Additional Mathematics class. Today Mdm. Liew gave us back our Section B paper. As usual, Stanley got the highest mark, following by Roland Teo. I got 25 over 40 for Section B due to my careless, which made up 77% for all the sections.
The next class was PJ session. As I forgot to bring my trouser, so I decided to stayed in the class, talking to my friends. Oh yeah, before that, during Add Maths class, Pn. Fatimah the PKHEM of St. Joe called me to inform that I'll lead the pray for tomorrow's event (However, my place was replaced by Ustaz Manaf because of certain reasons that cannot be helped).

After that, the lesson was continued by two-period Chemistry class. As I felt sleepy suddenly, I slept in class for a while without the teacher noticing me snoring in the class. Today she taught us about electrolysis in molten state (just for your information).

After recess is History class. The teacher repeated again a topic about Kerajaan Islam Turki Uthmaniyah. As yesterday, Roland, Kelvin Ting, Kelvin Jong, James Lai and Daryl teased me again, mentioning word rejoice (actually they meant rejoyce which containing name Joyce).

Bahasa Malaysia class was either as the same as yesterday.

Today's lesson ended with Biology class for two periods. Hjh Rosni used the time to discussed about our paper, which she gave us back. I got 76%, Roland got 89% and Amir Hakim got 98% (wow, congrats Amir and Roland).

**********

Today, after taking Pemantauan Ponteng file, I met Wan Mohamad Fahrurrazi. We talked about the Qiyamullail Camp which was still in process of planning the activity (for those who do not know what is qiyamullail, I'll explain later). He suggested that the camp held for two days and one night.

OK, as I promised before, qiyamullail means bangun pada waktu malam selepas tidur dengan tujuan untuk beribadat kepada Allah.

This is my second draft of the Qiyamullail Camp:

(the pictures will be uploaded, insya-Allah)

The number of peserta targeted for this camp is 20, and the AJK involved in this camp is 10, including me and Wan.

However, Alif Azni advised me to be prepared for any problems come when planning and conducting the camp.

In my planning, after finishing this draft and having meeting with the AJK of the JOSIPA, we will present this proposal to Ustaz Manaf. Nevertheless, I have bad feeling about presenting the proposal to him. I'm afraid he'll reject our proposal, as he looked cold, especially to me (just from my point of view, it's only my feeling, don't bother it). But, this is only my feeling. Insya-Allah, he'll accept this proposal.

Rejab 12th - Do Not Underestimate Me...

Today's lesson started with Mathematics class for 2 periods. Mdm. Chin gave us back our Maths papers. The highest mark is 95, achieved by the smartest student in 4A, Roland Teo (congrats, Roland). I got 85%. The word merosot is the first word I said when I received my paper.
After that, Pendidikan Islam class. During PI class, we received back our Kertas 2 paper. As I had mentioned before, I got 97% for Kertas 2, which make the whole paper 96%. The rest of the time we used to discussed the answer. Insya-Allah, I also will give you the link to the paper in .doc format.

After PI class is Bahasa Malaysia class. Pn. Halipah still discussing about the answer for Paper 2 and refused to give us back our Paper 2.

During recess time, I presented my proposal of Qiyamullail Camp to Wan Mohd. Fahrurrazi. He seemed accepted my proposal, which containing the outline of the activities held during the camp.

After recess, it's the two-period Sejarah class. Seem that I don't wnt to know my marks, I used the opportunity given by PK Kokurikulum to be one of the correspondents for a surver conducted by Jemaah Nazir Kokurikulum. The other correspondents from 4A were Roland, Kelvin Ting, James Lai and Jonathan.

After that, Physics class for 2 periods. Mr. Chong haven't finished marking our paper, so today he teached us about Bernoulli's principle of pressure. Like Biology, I felt I understand 75% of the lesson due to my concentration in the class.

After having lunch, all 4A students went to the AVA room for Civic class. Today the teacher teached about Perlembagaan Malaysia, which he accidentally talked a little bit about politics. The whole class seemed to be shocked that I'm supporting PAS, although I'm not the fanatic follower of PAS. Please remember that.

During the Civic class, Roland again teased me by pronouncing word rejoice which meaning to tease me about my gf. And this time James Lai also affected by him. After the class, Roland said to the teacher something like 'I feel I'm rejoicing'. The teacher noticed wrong when he saw my reaction to Roland, so he asked Daryl. Daryl told everything. D*** it.

The teacher replied that I'm a good one, because I'm setia with my love one although jauh di mata. What the...?

I cannot being teased anymore. If I know who is the girl to make Roland fell in love with her, I would like to do the same one. I said to him: "I can know who's you crushed on, as I was a detective...". But, belum sempat I finished my words, Roland said: "Stalker." Pleaselah, I'm not a stalker as I have no time to go out except to go to surau everyday.

After Civic class, I, Roland, Kelvin Jong and Kelvin Ting talked about the possibilities to know our own secret based to our own blog. Roland Teo, Kelvin Ting and Kelvin Jong are confident that their secret will not know, even by me. Sorry, my friend, YOU ARE UNDERESTIMATING ME. Please do not underestimate me, as I did not underestimating you.

Maybe you only know that Abdul Hakim Lukhman Al-Yusufi you know is the 'weird' newcomer from Sarikei, but there is something that you don't know (or you forget), i.e I'm also a detective story writer and the follower of Sherlock Holmes. I can used my deductive reasoning to know someone secret's. But don't worry, you can trust me. I will not telling anyone about your secrets, because it's your secret. Prophet Muhammad SAW said that: "Sesiapa yang menutup aib saudaranya, maka Allah akan menutup aibnya pada Hari Akhirat kelak." I was awaiting for that.

Please remember that, and do not angry with my words. I just telling you about my feeling for today.

Rejab 11th - Mau'izhatil-Hasanah (Berbahas dengan Cara yang Baik)...

Hari ini pelajaran dimulakan dengan kuliah Biologi selama dua masa. Memandangkan Hjh. Rosni belum siap menyemak kertas kami, maka beliau hari ini mengajar kami tentang bab Digestion. Kalau dahulunya penulis bengang bab ini, sekarang tidak. Rahsianya: perhatian di dalam kelas. Sebab itulah penulis rasakan penulis dapat rasa kenapa Kelvin Ting menyukai subjek ini.
Selepas itu kuliah Additional Mathematics berlangsung, juga selama dua masa. Memandangkan Cikgu Liew tidak hadir (Kuiz Sains Nasional), maka ada guru lain yang sit-in. Walau bagaimanapun, perbincangan jawapan untuk Section A kertas peperiksaan Additional Mathematics tetap disambung, dikendalikan oleh guru sit-in tersebut. Setelah selesai perbincangan, semua pelajar membuat kerja masing-masing.

Selepas rehat, pelajaran diteruskan dengan kuliah Bahasa Malaysia selama dua masa. Seluruh masa digunakan untuk membuat pembetulan Kertas 2 BM bahagian Rumusan dan Pemahaman Petikan Umum. Menurut Pn. Halipah, pelajar yang mendapat markah tertinggi bagi Kertas 2 antara kami ialah Victor Chin, sebanyak 67 daripada 95 (Tahniah, Victor). Roland pula mendapat 65 (Tahniah juga, Roland, pastinya anda tidak menyangka markah anda sebegitu). Penulis pula memperoleh 60. Cikgu juga memberitahu bahawa penulis tidak menulis nama penulis pada kertas jawapan penulis. Apabila dipastikan tulisan, barulah penulis mengakui kertas tak bernama itu milik penulis. Segera penulis tulis nama penulis pada kertas tersebut. Maklumlah, masa jawab hari tu, penulis demam panas yang teruk.

Pelajaran diakhiri dengan kuliah Bahasa Inggeris juga selama dua masa. Memandangkan Pn. Jennifer belum siap menyemak kertas kami, maka dua masa tersebut dihabiskan untuk menyediakan skrip untuk lisan kali kedua. Setelah siap, penulis menyerahkan kepada beliau untuk semakan. Sementara menyedia dan menunggu, penulis tidak sangka Daryl dan Kelvin Ting tertarik untuk membaca majalah AL ISLAM. Sementara menunggu dan setelah menerima kembali skrip penulis, penulis bersama dengan Kelvin Ting dan Emmanuel berbahas tentang hal ehwal agama masing-masing dalam cara yang baik dan harmoni. Menurut Kelvin, pembaptisan memang dilakukan semasa Easter, sama ada sebelum atau semasa Easter. Hanya media dan sesetengah pihak sahaja yang menghembar-hemburkan berita pembaptisan orang yang telah murtad dari Islam atas tujuan yang buruk. Macam-macamlah perkara lain yang kami bertiga debatkan. Penulis mewakili Islam, manakala Kelvin Ting dan Emmanuel mewakili Kristian. Apa yang penulis boleh beritahu, pengalaman tersebut sememangnya pengalaman yang tidak boleh dilupakan. Berbahas dengan rakan yang juga tahu banyak perkara tentang agamanya tentang hal ehwal agama kami.

Hari ini, penulis berjaya mereka bentuk blog penulis, menjadi seperti yang anda dapat lihat sekarang. Jika anda mempunyai sebarang komen, dipersilakan.

Rejab 10th - Having Lunch at Kopi-O Korner

Today's lesson is started by Chemistry class. The teacher already finished marking our paper, and today she gave us back our paper. Mine was was 74% (then turned into 73% because she marked correct for the wrong answer). At least my Chemistry had shown some improvement. Before that, the teacher teach us about electrolysis using Lower Six Teaching Manual.
Then the lesson was continued by Physics class. As always, the teacher won't give back our paper first. He said that most of the paper at the Section B part is empty. Yeah, the questions are very hard. That's why it's empty.

Then Pendidikan Islam class. All of us get back out Kertas 1 paper. I managed to get 95% for paper 1, and same for Amir Hakim. After discussion, ustazah gave Amir and me our Kertas 2 paper. I managed to get 97%, and Amir 94%.

After that, English class. Because today we did not have EST class, so we discussed the answer for obejctive part EST paper. I get myself emo (that's what Qamarul say about me when he saw me alone at the side of the class). When I'm alone at my sitting place (at the behind of the first row at the right side of the class facing the white board), suddenly I felt like being left. Everything taht happened in the class suddenly became not my business. This thing happened to continue until Add Maths class.

During Add Maths class, the teacher give us back the Section A paper. I got 52 marks, the second highest after Stanley before Roland. I lost 8 marks because of my mistakes, my careless and my forgetfulness. Insya-Allah, I will give the link to the documents of the Add Maths paper for this exam with the answers.

After class, I ate nasi lemak for my lunch. Suddenly, after finishing my lunch, Qamarul and Nadzmi invited me to have lunch at Kopi-O Korner. As this is the third time they invited me, so I couldn't help to refuse. There, wehave roti canai for our lunch. Qamarul and Nadzmi ordered roti bawang and milo ice, while I ordered roti kosong and tea ice. That's was a great lunch for us. It was Nadzmi who belanja us. Thank you Nadzmi, jazakallahu khairan.

After Pendidikan Islam class (this is the luar sidang one), I go to the school library. The real purpose is to get some information for preparing English oral script. But, out of nowhere, I got the inspiration to write another story, this time is the history one. It's about the trials for the enemy of Islam to steal the body of Rasulullah from Masjid Nabawi. My story is following the footsteps of Faisal Tehrani who wrote 1515 novel.


Rejab 9th - Lost

Sorry for not updating as promised. This is because my ****ing brother using this PC all he want following his desires. Never want to consider other people. I had used this PC at 3 o'clock in the morning to write this. And now I totally dislikes his presence here. I have to wait for a few days and this PC will be saved from his dangerous actions without knowing the possibilities attacked by various kind of virus and trojans.
Maybe this blog containing some foul words, but this is my real feeling. And the following statements is not a fiction, but a reality.

Yesterday (13th July) I at the front of St. Joseph's gate getting some calmness there. I found a man saying good morning to me. I shocked because the time is no more morning, but I replied to him nicely. But, how on earth did he know I have problem?

Then, when I was still searching for calmness (my brother was using the PC during that time), my brother calling. Because of his words are not too clear, he asked me come there. When I arrived there, he only ask me to send my father's phone. VERY VERY VERY PEMALAS!!!

The house which my parents went yesterday is only a floor below us, and he asked me who was coming from a far place (this is due to the lift already broke down) to do that. I nearly lost control that time. But I won't react so fast so vigorously. I took bath, wore my baju melayu, and went to the surau.

At the surau, I kicked the chairs, shout aimlessly hysterically, punching the gulung of sejadah inside the surau... and then I cried. Why these must happen to me???

Here are some of the things I jotted down into my Tasawwur Islam exercise book:

1. My bro:
  • labelling me as kuno;
  • a casanova;
  • bodoh sombong;
  • instead of him to mengalah to his own sibling, I have to mengalah;
  • always blaming at me, especially about the PC, even though I'm not doing it;
  • use the PC without limit, until 1 am.

2. My parents:
  • never know my real problems;
  • always blaming me although I'm not doing it.

3. My friends:
  • helpful either;
  • maybe because I'm still new here;
  • maybe I always bring troubles to them.

Everybody around me seem to be HELPLESS AND USELESS.

I always try not to follow negative things, BUT WHY THIS HAPPEN TO ME???

I arrived at only one conclusion: It's time to change myself.

I eliminated my old self, and bring my new self. In this my new self, I will try to be silent at all times (only talk if neccessary). I also try not to laugh.

Maybe this new self seem not be like my old self. Yeah, that's true.

I know this won't last long, but just wait it...


"Senang untuk mencari kawan ketawa,
Susah untuk mencari kawan menangis."

Rajjab al-Murajjab 8th - The Happy Day Become The Stressed Day

Today is last day of the Second Exam in St. Joe. Congrats to the Fourth Formers of St. Joe. I hope that we did well in the exam. The second last paper we sat for today was Mathematics paper. Compared to the Add Maths, Maths seemed to be easier. I managed to finish it one hour before the time.

In the excess hour, I doing craps. I vandalised my front paper and the second page of the question paper. My contribution to my question paper:
  1. Second School Elimination (it's supposed to be Scond School Examination);
  2. Shake your answer in the objective sh*t provided.
  3. 2008 Hak Cip SMB St. Joseph.
  4. Information for Candi.
  5. Answer all questions in ion A and ion B.
  6. Write your answers clearly in the space.
  7. Show your work. It may help you.
  8. If you wish to change your answer, get out you.
  9. You may use four table.
  10. You may use a program.
I managed to get Amir Hakim hysterical. No offense for it. ;P (I even don't know what I'm talking about)

After that, Pendidikan Islam Second Paper is the last paper we sat (for the Muslims). I'm very happy because I can answer it with confidence (but not overconfident) although some chapters I missed due to my transfer to Kuching. But I see Amir Hakim having big trouble, especially the question asking to put tanda and baris onto the blank Quranic verses. He's weak at this, and he telled me about it few minutes before the exam.

12.00 noon. I went to my home with the face of happy just like coming back from a war, having the victory.

However the happiness does not last long.

Actually I want to write all this thing after coming back from school, but I cancelled it because my older brother using the PC (I was hoping that he's go back to Rawang quickly as soon as possible, you'll know why).

Then, 3.30 pm, it's my turn to use the PC (after shut it down for a while). I want to opne my Google account (for the Bloggers), and it turned that my usual password didn't work. After tring for three times, typing in the password correctly, I couldn't control myself (I mean it still didn't work).

This must be my brother's work!!!

Yesterday I just use Blogger and the password I used is the same password I keyed in just now. Only one possible answer for that: THIS IS MUST BE MY BROTHER'S WORK!!! YOU CASANOVA!!!

I couldn't stand it anymore. He made too many changes in this PC that make this PC 'more berat' than usual, although I've deleted some unused documents/programs, and he's still blaming at me because of too many documents in PC.

Then he take some of my time (at the night) using the PC, UNTIL 1 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING!! I have to used it at 3 o'clock or in the morning.

Very very very BODOH!!! I CANNOT STAND IT ANYMORE!!! I CANNOT BEAR IT ANYMORE!!!

I dedicated this pantun to that casanova (who else? my brotherla):

Mengata dulang paku serpih,
MENGATA ORANG AWAK YANG LEBIH!!!

Take it, you casanova. Serves you right...

Rejab 7th - Fifth Day

Only left one day. Today's tested subjects: Biology and English For Science and Technology. Don't ask me about Biology. As always. However, Biology paper is easier to answer than Physics paper. For the essay part, I remembered well everything I learnt in SAS.
For EST, nothing that shocked me. The essay question is (just like usual) concerning about environment.

During EST, I did some 'modification' to the front page of the paper. The most ketara one is the title ENGLISH FOR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY I changed into E IS FOR SCI AND TECHNO.

And now I need to cover the chapters (in Pendidikan Islam) that I haven't learnt due to my transfer to here. Luckily it's paper 2, which is only about Pengajian al-Quran and Pengajian as-Sunnah. Fuh... my favourite. :P

6 Rejab | Kasihan...

Only left two more days, today was the forth day of the Second Examination. The tested subjects: History and Bahasa Melayu Paper 1. As usual, just like yesterday, again I regretted because I didn't do revision few weeks before exam. The only difference is I felt History paper is easier than Physics. About essay, I wrote craps, luckily not too much. The questions (out of 2) I chose is the second one, concerning Khulafa' al-Rasyidin Era.
Then, during BM Paper 1, most of my friends shocked when looking at my answer sheets after the exam. They didn't expect that I would write the composition in tulisan Jawi. The questions are (can be said) easy. The reason I choose to write in tulisan Jawi is so that no one can copy my answer (even the Malays cannot read in the first sight, need to see for three times before copying). How? Very strategic?

Today is the first time I stay back at St. Joe until 4 pm. After 12.45, as usual I go to Surau al-Jauhari to perform solat zuhur, and after that enjoying my lunch. At 1.30, I go to the library to study Biology. After reading for one hour, I closed Biology book because I felt stressed having trouble to understand Biology.

Nevertheless, one thing that adding new things about St. Joe to me is the most popular girl in St. Joe.

I don't know whether you're shocked or not when reading the statement above (because I can't see you). Maybe for senior Josephians (examples: Kelvin Jong, Roland Teo) they knew about this.

When I was busy reading my Biology book, I saw a boy talking (actually flirting or something like that) to a Upper Sixth Former girl (prefect and the president of the librarian club, to be accurate). After a few minute, the same boy doing the same thing on the same person. And it kept going until (I don't know when, forgot already).

And I asked the senior (which I also forget his name already, too many names I forgot due to my business this whole week) who was doing revision for PI paper, about it. I said to him: "I really pity on her, always being disturb by the boy. And she looked distressed now."

Silence.

And I said: "I think she must be popular in this school."

To my surprise, he replied: "Yes, she is."

:O

"Really?"

"Yes. Almost 3/4 boys in St. Joe attracted to her. Even Anton (the exchange student from Germany who was my classmate)."

:O (now it's wider)

The name of the girl is Anthina (something like thatlah, according to the senior I talked to).

And then came another senior Form Five (but not a prefect), and then we talking about my Biology teacher. First they about music in Islam. I said: "It's harus." Then both the seniors asking from me opinion (I cannot say I'm giving fatwa, only opinion based on the knowledge I have) about playing musical instruments such as piano, flute etc. My opinion is really simple: "As long it is not bring harm to you and other people."

Then one of them asking me about playing piano which is he know that the song the played is the other religion's song. My answer is: It depends on our niat. However it's better not to play it. Ask your teacher to consider about it because you're Muslim.

After that we discussing among ourselves about anything.

At 4.10 pm, I went back to my home (a little bit 10 minutes late).

Then...... nothing.

5 Rejab | Bawalah Berbincang...

Hari ketiga peperiksaan. Subjek yang penulis duduki ialah kertas Fizik dan Pendidikan Islam Kertas 1. Jangan tanya penulis tentang Fizik, gerenti penulis tak akan dapat jawab... hanya mampu menjawab 2/5 daripada keseluruhan kertas, walaupun penulis berusaha membuat ulangkaji (sehingga demam penulis menyerang balik ketika tidur sehingga membatalkan hasrat untuk bangun awal pagi untuk belajar).
Selepas itu, subjek Pendidikan Islam Kertas 1. Buat penat penulis baca tentang bab Haji (terutama bab Dam), yang paling banyak ditanya ialah Sembelihan, Akikah, Adab dan Sejarah. Soalan pertama yang ditanya (yang membuatkan penulis berasa geram walaupun soalan tersebut senang) ialah nama pengasas kerajaan Bani Umaiyah.

Baiklah, penulis nak bercerita sikit tentang apa yang penulis tak puas hati dengan ibu bapa penulis. Bukanlah hendak mencerca, sekadar melepaskan tekanan akibat tidak dapat menerima kenyataan.

Untuk pengetahuan anda, apabila ibu bapa penulis ingin melakukan sesuatu, mereka PASTI TIDAK AKAN BERBINCANG DENGAN ANAK-ANAKNYA. Contoh yang paling senang ialah ketika ingin berpindah ke Kuching. Hasratnya untuk berpindah ke sini tidak dia beritahu pada awal tahun dan mendiamkan diri sehinggalah awal bulan Mac. Siapa tak marah...

Anda perlu tahu, penulis terlibat dengan bermacam-macam aktiviti (terutamanya hafazan al-Quran). Dan tahun keempat dalam sekolah menengah merupakan peluang keemasan yang tidak boleh dilepaskan. Penulis sudah berjanji dengan Ustazah (ketika di SAS) untuk menjadi wakil SAS dalam ujian hafazan al-Quran.

Tetapi setelah mendapat berita berpindah, penulis terpaksa membawa muka yang tak malu meminta maaf daripada Ustazah kerana tidak dapat menjadi wakil sekolah. Kesedihan terpapar di wajah Ustazah, dan selepas itu tiada wakil huffaz al-Quran dari SAS, sekaligus tiada wakil huffaz bagi Bahagian Sarikei (kerana sudah berkurun lamanya SAS mewakili Bahagian Sarikei dalam apa-apa pertandingan). Penulis dengar tahun ini mereka tidak menghantar wakil hafazan ke Peringkat Negeri.

Anda lihat, inilah kesannya jika anda tidak bawa berbincang dengan ahli keluarga / kumpulan anda sebelum membuat keputusan. Tindakan anda sebegini boleh mempengaruhi dan membawa kesan kepada orang lain, amalah dalam sesetengah kes kronik, menimbulkan rasa kebencian...

Jadi, berfikirlah dua kali dan bawalah berbincang sebelum membuat apa-apa keputusan...

4 Rejab | Pemahaman yang Meracuni Pemikiran...

Peperiksaan Kedua 2008 telah masuk hari kedua. Dimulakan dengan mata pelajaran Matematik Tambahan, dengan yakin penulis pasti bahawa tiga soalan penulis tidak akan mendapat markah. Terlupa menjawab soalan, selepas itu lalai dalam langkah pengiraan, kemudian soalan yang berikut hanya mendapat memenuhi satu nilai sahaja.
Kemudian subjek Bahasa Inggeris, boleh dikatakan agak mudah. Bagi soalan esei, penulis tidak begitu berani untuk menulis panjang, kerana the more you write, the more mistake you'll make (hipotesis ini hanya terpakai bagi mereka yang lemah atau sederhana dalam bahasa Inggeris).

Selepas menunaikan solat zuhur, penulis segera balik ke rumah dan menikmati makan tengah hari sebelum balik semula ke sekolah untuk mengulangkaji di sana bersama Azlan dan Nadzmi.

Ketika mengulangkaji fizik, penulis menghadapi kesukaran untuk menjawab, kerana tidak faham. Akibatnya, penulis hampir sampai tekanan yang melampau, sehingga ingin menikam buku fizik dengan pisau.

Satu lagi yang membuatkan penulis bengang ialah bab Haji subtopik Dam. Yang lain penulis tidak begitu menghadapi masalah, kecuali dam (denda kerana melakukan kesalahan ketika haji atau meninggalkan perkara wajib ketika haji). Penulis tidak sempat mempelajari keseluruhan bab Haji sebelum berpindah ke Kuching, dan apabila tiba di Kuching, Ustazah pula telah selesai mengajar bab tersebut.

***

Ketika penulois berborak dengan abang penulis tentang chatting, Friendster dan sebagainya, barulah penulis tahu bagaimana pemikirannya berhubung dengan perkara ini. Dia kata, zaman sekarang ini kita harus pandai berbohong, tak macam penulis, kolot....

Untuk pengetahuan anda, penulis rela dikata kolot, daripada penulis menjahanamkan diri ke dalam Neraka Jahannam dengan pemikiran sebegitu...

Walaupun dalam zaman siber, penulis ingin menasihatkan, janganlah kita berbohong dalam semua perkara...

Lagi satu, ketika penulis bertanya kepada abang penulis tentang bagaimana dia mendapat mp3nya, dia kelihatan tidak selesa. Setelah menjawab soalan penulis dia berkata: "Aku tak suka orang yang banyak tanya. Orang yang banyak tanya tu penyibuk..."

Laa.. salahkah bertanya sebagai adik...?

Bukannya semua orang yang banyak tanya tu penyibuk.. ada sebahagian mereka menjadi saintis terkenal seperti Dr. Ahmad Zewail...

Aku berlindung dengan Allah daripada Syaitan, politik dan pemikiran yang meracuni diri...

3 Rejab | Hari Pertama Peperiksaan...

Hari ini merupakan hari pertama seluruh pelajar tingkatan 4 menduduki peperiksaan kedua bagi tahun ini. Apa yang berlainan daripada peperiksaan-peperiksaan yang pernah penulis duduki ialah penulis mengalami tekanan yang besar kerana demam panas yang penulis alami. Penulis juga baru pertama kali melihat rakan-rakan penulis mengalami tekanan peperiksaan. Kelvin Jong yang tidak dapat menumpukan perhatiannya terhadap Fizik berasa dia patut menggugurkan subjek tersebut setelah peperiksaan, manakala Roland pula 'berkeyakinan' bahawa dia akan gagal, mungkin masih dihantui dengan markah ujian Bahasa Melayunya yang lalu.
Peperiksaan hari ini dimulakan dengan sujek Kimia. Penulis tidak boleh begitu yakin (takut memakan diri), tetapi apa yang penulis dapati kertas tersebut agak muda (agak saja). Tetapi, disebabkan demam, mungkin penulis ada menjawab sesetengah soalan dengan begitu malas dan adakala tertinggal poin penting. Dan penulis tidak menyemak semula jawapan penulis kerana kepala penulis terasa berat, lalu tidur... Kali kedua penulis tidur ketika peperiksaan. Kali pertama penulis tidur (kalau tak silap) ketika PMR tahun lalu ketika menduduki kertas Pendidikan Islam.

Selepas rehat, subjek Bahasa Melayu Kertas 2 pula berlangsung. Walaupun soalan menyatakan jawapan boleh ditulis dalam tulisan Rumi atau Jawi, penulis memilih untuk menulis dalam Rumi untuk memudahkan pengiraan jumlah patah perkataan bagi rumusan dan untuk menulis nama orang asing. Dan seklai lagi, penulis menjawab dalam keadaan malas dan kepala yang terasa berat.

Apa yang menghairankan penulis, ketika penulis tidur selepas selesai menjawab kertas BM, penulis tertidur selama setengah jam, sedangkan penulis berasa penulis tidur selama tiga jam... masya-Allah...

Selepas selesai sekolah, penulis bersama Qamarul dan Syukri menunaikan solat zuhur. Memandangkan penulis tidak sihat, maka seorang pengawas tingkatan lima (yang penulis pun lupa namanya) mengimami solat, dan penulis solat secara duduk.

Dari pukul empat sehingga pukul lima, penulis tidur, maka tertinggallah solat Asar....

Walau bagaimanapun, ketika azan maghrib berkumandang, penulis berasa kepala penulis tidak berasa berat, dan suhu badan turun....

Alhamdulillah... terima kasih Allah kerana menyembuhkan hamba-Mu ini....

2 Rejab | Demam... Mungkin Teruk?

Sebaik sahaja penulis bangun dari tidur (buat kali kedua), penulis menyedari badan penulis panas, tekak berasa sakit. (o.O) ..... ARRRGHHHH!!!! Penulis demam!!!!!
Menjelang tengah hari, demam penulis semakin jelas. Setelah makan tengah hari, ketika penulis mencuci tangan, tangan yang dicuci lebih sejuk berbanding dengan bahagian-bahagian anggota badan yang lain.

Macam mana ni....? Esok exam.... dan sekarang penulis demam.

Rasanya ketika solat maghrib nanti, suara penulis menjadi begini (tonton video ini dan dengar suara imam tersebut yang ketika itu sedang sakit):

Subjek-subjek bagi Setiap Kursus di Al-Azhar

Memandangkan penulis berasa bosan, jadi penulis menulis ini untuk menambahkan pengetahuan anda dan sekaligus menghilangkan sedikit rasa tensen...

Untuk kali ini, penulis sertakan dua kursus utama yang dipelajari di Universiti al-Azhar, Kaherah, Mesir.

Pengajian di Jabatan Syariah dan Undang-undang Islam - Fakulti Syariah Islamiah
Pengajian selama empat tahun (:O terkejut) untuk mendapatkan Ijazah Sarjana Muda Syariah Islamiah. Subjek-subjek yang dipelajari:
  1. Al-Quran: mesti menghafaz 2 juzuk (bagi pelajar luar Mesir) atau 7 - 15 juzuk (bagi pelajar-pelajar rakyat Mesir) setiap tahun. Ujian lisan dan ujian bertulis diadakan untuk menguji tahap hafazan.
  2. Bahasa: pilihan, sama ada bahasa Perancis atau bahasa Inggeris.
  3. Bahasa Arab (hah :O terkejut).
  4. Fikah (hukum).
  5. Usul fikah (kaedah mengeluarkan hukum dari nas-nas).
  6. Fikah Perbandingan Mazhab: dianggap paling susah (o.O)
  7. Sejarah Perundangan Islam (sejarah lagi?)
  8. Tauhid (sudah semestinya)
  9. Ulum al-Hadis (ilmu berkenaan hadis, terutama mengenal pasti taraf hadis dan taraf periwayat hadis).
  10. Fikah Kitab (tafsir ayat-ayat hukum).
  11. Esei (esei lagi?? dalam bahasa Arab?? o.O)
  12. Isu Fikah Semasa: Pandangan Islam mengenai isu-isu semasa seperti pengklonan.
  13. Hadis hukum.
  14. Undang-undang Kekeluargaan Islam.
  15. Manhaj Dakwah: prinsip dakwah.
  16. Qawaid Fikah: kaedah-kaedah hukum

Pengajian Al-Quran dan Qiraat
Mengambil masa 3 tahun, subjek-subjek yang dipelajari:
  1. Al-Quran: mesti telah menghafaz keseluruhan 30 juzuk (jilid) al-Quran ketika ingin menyambung pelajaran. Tidak diajar hafazan al-Quran, tetapi penting dalam peperiksaan. Juga dua ujian: al-Quran Syafawi (ujian lisan) dan al-Quran Tahriri (ujian bertulis).
  2. Qiraat: memabahaskan cara-cara bacaan al-Quran mengikut 10 imam Qiraat yang masyhur.
  3. Rasm al-Quran: membicarakan cara penulisan rasm uthmani seperti hazaf, isbat, ziadah dan wasal.
  4. Hifz al-Mutun. Saya pun tak tahu apa benda ni.
  5. Fawasil: pengiraan ayat al-Quran bagi setiap mashaf (Madani Awal, Madani Akhir, Makki, Bashri, Syami, Kufi).
  6. Ulum al-Quran.
  7. Tarikh Qurra: Sejarah 10 orang imam qiraat secara terperinci (noOoo).
  8. Tarikh Mashaf: Sejarah al-Quran (sejarah lagi???).
  9. Dhobt al-Quran: Membincangkan tentang baris-baris dan tanda dalam al-Quran.

Secara keseluruhannya, Pengajian al-Quran dan Qiraat mempunyai banyak subjek sejarah berbanding Pengajian Syariah Islamiah, manakala Pengajian Syariah Islamiah terdapat subjek esei dalam Bahasa Arab. Pengajian al-Quran dan Qiraat menekankan pelajar yang telah menghafaz keseluruhan al-Quran sebelum menyambung pelajaran, manakala Pengajian Syariah Islamiah tidak begitu menekankan pelajar yang telah menghafaz al-Quran.\

Ada apa-apa yang tidak anda faham? Silalah komen...

Mubahalah Agar Umat Tidak Berbalah

Sepatutnya kerja-kerja politik itu adalah urusan menguruskan negara dan rakyat agar hidup dalam keadaan mendapat hidayat dan sejahtera. Inilah juga tanggungjawab kekhalifahan manusia di atas muka bumi ini. Firman Allah: (maksudnya) “Dan (ingatlah) ketika Tuhanmu berfirman kepada Malaikat; “Sesungguhnya Aku hendak menjadikan seorang khalifah di bumi”. Mereka bertanya (tentang hikmat ketetapan Tuhan itu dengan berkata): “Adakah Engkau (Ya Tuhan kami) hendak menjadikan di bumi itu orang yang akan membuat bencana dan menumpahkan darah (berbunuh-bunuhan), padahal kami sentiasa bertasbih memujiMu dan mensucikanMu?” Tuhan berfirman: “Sesungguhnya Aku mengetahui akan apa yang kamu tidak mengetahuinya”. (Surah al-Baqarah: ayat 30).

“Khalifah itu bermaksud (segi bahasa) sesiapa yang menggantikan tempat pihak yang lain atau menjadi penggantinya. Yang dimaksudkan dengan khalifah dalam ayat ini adalah Adam a.s. kerana beliau merupakan khalifah Allah di bumi-Nya. Demikian sekalian nabi yang Allah utuskan mereka sebagai pengganti (khalifah) bagi memakmurkan bumi, menguruskan manusia, menyempurnakan keperluan mereka dan melaksanakan perintah Allah ke atas mereka” (lihat: Al-Baidawi, Anwar al-Tanzil wa Asrar al-Takwil, 1/64.)

Maka urusan kekhalifahan itu memegang amanah Allah dalam perancangan dan pembangunan bagi memakmurkan bumi ini berdasarkan syariat-Nya. Itu bukan hanya tugas Adam a.s seorang, sebaliknya anak cucunya wajib melaksanakan tanggungjawab yang sama. Firman Allah SWT menceritakan tentang nasihat Nabi Solih kepada kaumnya: (maksudnya): “Dan kepada kaum Thamud, Kami utuskan saudara mereka: Solih. Dia berkata: “Wahai kaumku! Sembahlah kamu akan Allah! Tiada bagi kamu tuhan daripadanya. Dialah yang menjadikan kamu daripada (bahan-bahan) bumi, serta menghendaki kamu memakmurkannya”. (Surah Hud: ayat 61)

Maka inilah sepatutnya kerja orang politik. Memakmurkan bumi dengan menghidupkan ketenteraman dan keamanan dalam kehidupan manusia. Maka, amatlah malang melihat gelagat sesetengah ahli politik dalam negara kita yang kebanyakan mereka mengaku muslim tetapi seakan tidak memahami kerja kekhalifahan itu menghidupkan keamanan, bukan kekalutan. Kerja politik yang sepatutnya menampilkan kepada rakyat idea-idea pengurusan negara demi keadilan dan kedamaian dalam kehidupan rakyat bertukar menjadi kerja selak-menyelak kain masing-masing di khalayak ramai atas nama politik. Cerita-cerita dalam kain mereka yang memalukan kita untuk menjelaskan kepada anak kecil jika hadir di samping kita mendengar berita-berita daripada media menjadi bahan politik mereka. Mereka memakmurkan urusan ‘kekhalifahan’ mereka dengan menjadikan cerita-cerita seperti itu sebagai modal menunjukkan ‘ketajaman’ idea politik ‘menghidupkan kekalutan dan kegusaran’ dalam kehidupan rakyat. Benarlah dakwaan sesetengah pihak ‘politik itu saudara pembohongan’. Ramai yang menghantar SMS dan e-mel kepada saya menyatakan dukacita mereka yang amat sangat dengan cara politik pemimpin-pemimpin Melayu ini. Sehingga mereka yang dulunya saya kenali mempunyai minat yang tinggi terhadap politik, sama ada pembangkang atau kerajaan, telah bertukar menjadi muak dan bosan dengan ‘politik selak kain’ yang giat ditampilkan sekarang.

Dalam Islam, sepatutnya keaiban peribadi tidak dijadikan mainan atau berita utama yang ditebarkan secara luas dalam masyarakat yang sehingga nanti masyarakat terbiasa dengan akhlak-akhlak buruk lantas maruah orang menjadi taruhan atas kepentingan peribadi. Hanya apabila terpaksa sahaja, seperti kes di mahkamah baru keburukan itu didedahkan. Bukan memperjudikan maruah satu sama lain dalam perlumbaan kuasa. Firman Allah: (maksudnya) “Allah tidak suka kepada perkataan-perkataan buruk yang dikatakan dengan berterus-terang (untuk mendedahkan kejahatan orang); kecuali oleh orang yang dizalimi, dan (ingatlah) Allah sentiasa Mendengar, lagi Maha Mengetahui. Jika kamu melahirkan sesuatu kebaikan, atau menyembunyikannya, atau kamu memaafkan kesalahan (yang dilakukan terhadap kamu), maka sesungguhnya Allah adalah Maha Pemaaf lagi Maha Berkuasa”. (Surah al-Nisa: ayat 148-149).

Soal maruah adalah besar dalam Islam. Bukan seperti Barat yang menjadikan maruah taruhan berita sensasi. Justeru, sekalipun Islam menjatuhkan hukuman sebat 100 rotan kepada penzina, Islam juga menetapkan syarat ketat terhadap yang menuduh orang lain berzina. Maka Islam menghukum penuduh tanpa cukup saksi dalam kes zina dengan 80 rotan. Ini kerana dia telah mempermainkan maruah orang lain. Juga Islam cuba menghalang sikap suka mendedahkan aib orang lain dalam perkara yang tidak cukup keterangan dan bukti. Firman Allah: (maksudnya) “Dan orang- orang yang melemparkan tuduhan (zina) kepada perempuan yang terpelihara kehormatannya, kemudian mereka tidak membawakan empat orang saksi, maka sebatlah mereka lapan puluh kali sebat; dan janganlah kamu menerima persaksian mereka itu selama-lamanya; kerana mereka adalah orang-orang yang fasik. (Surah al-Nur: ayat 4)

Namun, Islam tidak mewajibkan pula seseorang yang menuduh isterinya berzina agar mendatangkan empat orang saksi. Ini kerana tuduhan zina kepada isteri sendiri hanya mencalarkan maruah penuduh. Maka, agak sukar untuk seseorang itu menuduh isterinya secara bohong berzina. Juga amat berat untuk seseorang itu mendiamkan diri apabila mengetahui isterinya berzina. Ini kerana kedua-dua keadaan itu merobohkan maruah dan kehormatan dirinya. Jika orang lain yang berzina, mungkin dia mampu mendiamkan diri disebabkan kekurangan saksi. Tetapi sudah pasti tidak bagi kes isterinya. Justeru Allah menyebut: (maksudnya) “Dan orang-orang yang menuduh isterinya berzina, sedang mereka tidak ada saksi-saksi (yang mengesahkan tuduhannya itu) hanya dirinya sendiri, maka persaksian (sah pada syarak) bagi seseorang yang menuduh itu hendaklah dia bersumpah dengan nama Allah, empat kali, bahawa sesungguhnya dia dari orang-orang yang benar; Dan sumpah yang kelima (hendaklah dia berkata): “bahawa laknat Allah akan menimpa dirinya jika dia dari orang- orang yang dusta. Dan bagi menghindarkan hukuman seksa terhadap isteri (yang kena tuduh) itu hendaklah dia (isteri) bersumpah dengan nama Allah, empat kali, bahawa suaminya (yang menuduh) itu benar-benar daripada orang-orang yang berdusta; - Dan sumpah yang kelima (hendaklah ia berkata); bahawa kemurkaan Allah akan menimpa dirinya jika suaminya dari orang- orang yang benar. (Surah al-Nur ayat 6-9).

Bab ini dinamakan dengan ‘li‘an’ atau penglaknatan. Inilah jalan yang Allah berikan kepada pasangan suami isteri yang tuduh-menuduh dalam perkara seperti ini. Selepas proses ini dilakukan, mereka dipisahkan selamanya, tanpa ada hukuman keseksaan mahkamah yang dijalankan, sebaliknya diserahkan urusan tersebut kepada Allah. Ini kerana, kes ini adalah kes mempalitkan keaiban diri sendiri. Maka, mereka yang mendakwa diri dirogol atau diliwat juga adalah menampalkan keaiban ke atas diri sendiri. Amat sukar bagi insan normal itu membuat dakwaan seperti itu secara semberono. Melainkan jika ada kepentingan tersembunyi yang lain. Maka mereka juga tidak perlu mendatangkan empat saksi. Sebaliknya boleh diterima pakai kaitan (qarinah) yang membuktikan kejadian itu berlaku. Justeru, paksi dalam hal ini semua, ada demi memelihara keturunan dan maruah.

Jelas, isu-isu aib peribadi tidak patut dijadikan gelanggang permainan dalam masyarakat muslim sehingga setiap individu merasakan dirinya memiliki lesen besar untuk menuduh sesiapa sahaja yang dia mahu atau sesiapa sahaja yang dianggap musuhnya. Namun dalam masyarakat kita sehari dua ini nampaknya keadaan berlaku sebaliknya. Isu dalam kain individu-individu politik telah mencetuskan kegelisahan awam. Sehingga mewujudkan ketegangan, tuduh-menuduh dan maki-memaki yang seakan tiada kesudahannya. Jika dibiarkan, ketenteraman boleh tergadai disebabkan kerenah mereka.

Dalam al-Quran Allah mengajar mubahalah sebagai penyelesaian bagi perbalahan yang tidak diuruskan secara baik dan mengikut peraturan. Ini kerana ada pihak yang menunjukkan sikap keras kepala sehingga menimbulkan kekusutan. Mubahalah bermaksud mereka yang berbalah bertemu dan berdoa agar Allah menurunkan kelaknatan ke atas pendusta antara mereka.(lihat: Ibn Manzur, Lisan al-‘Arab, 11/71). Disebut juga mulaa‘nah iaitu meminta agar Allah melaknati sesiapa yang berdusta atau bersalah di kalangan yang berselisihan dakwaan tersebut. Ini seperti firman Allah kepada Nabi Muhammad SAW: (maksudnya) “Sesungguhnya bandingan (kejadian) Isa di sisi Allah adalah sama seperti (kejadian) Adam. Allah telah menciptakan Adam dari tanah lalu berfirman kepadanya: “Jadilah engkau!” maka jadilah ia. Kebenaran itu datang daripada Tuhanmu, maka jangan sekali-kali engkau menjadi di kalangan mereka yang ragu-ragu. Kemudian sesiapa yang membantahmu (Wahai Muhammad) mengenainya, sesudah engkau beroleh pengetahuan yang benar, maka katakanlah kepada mereka: “Marilah kita menyeru anak-anak kami serta anak-anak kamu, isteri-isteri kami serta isteri-isteri kamu, dan diri kami serta diri kamu, kemudian kita memohon kepada Allah dengan bersungguh-sungguh serta kita meminta supaya laknat Allah ditimpakan kepada orang-orang yang berdusta”. (Surah Ali ‘Imran 59-61).

Dalam riwayat al-Bukhari, Nabi s.a.w pernah mencabar puak Kristian daripada Najran agar melakukan mubahalah ini dengan baginda tentang Nabi Isa dan kebenaran ajaran Islam, namun mereka takut dan enggan melakukannya. Kata al-Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jauziyyah (meninggal 751H): “Mubahalah itu adalah sunnah bagi sesiapa yang keras kepala di kalangan puak kebatilan. Bahawa menjadi sunnah dalam berdebat dengan ahli kebatilan, apabila telah ditegakkan hujah namun mereka enggan kembali kepada kebenaran sebaliknya terus berdegil, maka diseru mereka agar bermubahalah. Allah telah memerintahkan rasul-Nya berbuat demikian. Tanpa Allah menyatakan ini bukan untuk umatmu selepas ini. Sepupu baginda Abd Allah bin ‘Abbas juga pernah mengajak mereka yang membantah dalam beberapa perkara furu’ bermubahalah dengannya. Tiada seorang sahabat Nabi SAW yang membantah tindakan itu. Juga al-Auza‘i pernah mengajak Sufyan al-Thauri bermubahalah dalam masalah ‘mengangkat tangan’ tanpa ada yang membantah tindakannya. Ini adalah hujah yang kuat” (Ibn Qayyim, Zad al-Ma‘ad 3/562-563).

Dalam mubahalah setiap orang akan memohon kelaknatan Allah ke atas dirinya jika dia berada di pihak yang salah. Ini seperti dalam kes tuduh menuduh dalam negara kita sekarang, maka satu pihak diminta menyebut: “Ya Allah! jika aku lakukan apa yang dituduh ke atasku, maka laknatilah aku”. Sementara pihak yang lain menyebut: “Ya Allah! jika dia tidak lakukan apa yang aku tuduh itu, maka laknatilah aku”. Selepas itu, kita semua tunggu hukuman dalam hal ini. Ramai ulama silam menyebut, biasanya Allah tidak akan menangguhkan hukuman melebihi setahun. Bahkan ramai dalam sejarah hanya beberapa bulan, atau hari.

Al-Imam al-Sakhawi (meninggal 902H) dalam bukunya al-Qaul al-Munbi ‘An Tarjamati Ibn ‘Arabi menceritakan bagaimana gurunya al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani (meninggal 852H) bermubahalah dengan seorang pengikut Ibn ‘Arabi. Ibn ‘Arabi (bukan al-Imam Ibn al-‘Arabi) ada tokoh sufi sesat yang membawa fahaman wahdatul wujud iaitu penyatuan tuhan dengan manusia. Alirannya itu diikuti oleh banyak para pengikut tarekat sehingga ke hari ini. Di Malaysia, antara pencintanya adalah juru kempen ajaran martabat tujuh. Pada zaman Ibn Hajar al-‘Asqalani, terdapat para pencinta Ibn ‘Arabi ini. Apabila al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar mempertikaikan Ibn ‘Arabi, mereka cuba mendapatkan campur tangan sultan ketika itu dan menuduh al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar menghina orang soleh. Sehingga akhirnya Ibn Hajar bermubahalah dengan syeikh mereka. Kata Ibn Hajar: Sebutlah “Ya Allah, jika Ibn ‘Arabi di atas kesesatan, maka laknatilah aku”. Lalu dia menyahutnya. Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar pula menyebut: “Ya Allah, jika Ibn ‘Arabi berada atas petunjuk, maka laknatilah aku”. Lalu mereka bersurai. Mubahalah itu dalam bulan Ramadan. Pada bulan Zulqaedah, pengikut Ibn ‘Arabi itu menjadi buta lalu ditimpa kematian. Di zaman Harun al-Rasyid juga ada yang menerima hukuman Allah setelah bermubahalah. Al-Imam Muhammad bin Abdul Wahhab (tokoh yang dituduh membawa ajaran Wahhabi) pernah mencabar mereka yang menyanggahinya bermubahalah, namun penentangnya enggan.

Saya bukan inginkan agar Allah menurunkan bala kepada mereka yang tuduh- menuduh. Tetapi pertelingkahan mereka telah mengkucar-kacirkan umat dan negara, maka eloklah mereka bermubahalah agar orang ramai tidak lagi berbalah. Selepas bermubahalah, kita serahkan urusan ini kepada Allah. Dialah Yang Maha Mengetahui mengenai hal hamba-hambanya itu. Jika mereka tidak bersalah, apa yang hendak ditakuti? Orang politik rela belanja berjuta-juta untuk menceriakan imejnya. Mubahalah tidak perlu wang atau modal, namun dapat mengembalikan keyakinan dan menghapuskan prasangka yang telah ditaburkan dalam masyarakat.

Sajak - Pagi yang Indah

oleh Abdul Hakim Lukhman Al-Yusufi (ketika berada di dalam keadaan yang desperate)

Sekali lagi
pagi yang indah
muncul
matahari di ufuk timur
melangkah
menerangi alam yang kelam

Pada pagi itu
kubangun dengan sepenuh kudrat
dengan ucapan alhamdulillah
kerana masih diberi peluang
untuk hidup
di muka bumi
menjadi khalifahNYA

Pagi itu
kutoleh kembali
kisah-kisah silamku yang lampau
yang penuh dengan suka
yang penuh dengan duka
yang penuh bermakna
yang ada kalanya tidak ingin dikenang kembali

Pagi itu
Kurenung kembali kata-kata Umar Khayyam
katanya:
"Semalam sudah berlalu,
esok masih dalam cita-cita
realitinya hari ini."

Kini
matahari mula memancarkan surianya
mebawa rahmat ke seluruh alam
walau ada yang tidak menghargainya
walau ada yang membencinya
mentari tetap melaksanakan tugasnya
sebagai makhluk TUHANnya

Alangkah baiknya
jika aku sepertinya
hanya menurut perintahNYA
tidak ada apa-apa perasaan
tidak ada apa-apa nafsu
hanya melakukan tugasnya...

Di pagi yang indah ini
kurenung kembali
diriku yang dahulu
dan
diriku sekarang

Kudapati
Sikapku masih seperti dahulu
Masih keanak-anakan
walaupun usia menjangkau baligh

Adakah
ini yang kuinginkan
pada diriku kelak
pada masa hadapan?

Bercakap tentang bab 'cinta' ni, terus terang penulis katakan, penulis belum ada pengalaman dalam perkara sebegini. Sebab itulah anda boleh perhatikan hubungan penulis dengan 'girlfriend' nampak hambar. Dan sekarang pun begitu juga...

Kadang-kadang penulis terfikir, patutkah penulis berhenti daripada memikirkan dan terlibat dalam bab ini. Kerana apabila penulis memikirkan perkara sebegini, pastinya penulis tak dapat lari daripada khayalan penulis, memikirkan benda-benda indah akan berlaku, sedangkan perkara itu takkan berlaku.

Kerana itulah, penulis telah memcipta satu hipotesis (yang belum dibuktikan), iaitu:

Abdul Hakim Lukhman will never be liked by any girl, because of his stupidness about love

Gelaklah puas-puas jika anda berasa kenyataan di atas lucu. =.=

Jika ada sesiapa yang sudi untuk membuktikan hipotesis di atas betul atau tidak, sila hantarkan kenyataan anda untuk menjadi salah seorang yang akan membantu penulis menjalankan satu eksperimen (hehehe).
