Assalammualaikum pembaca. Terima kasih kerana melawat ke laman saya. Kedatangan anda sangat dialu-alukan terutama yang memberi sentuhan berguna.
1. Blog ini dimulakan atas cadangan Ustaz Hasrizal, Saifulislam.com. Ia sebagai memberikan pendapat berhubung isu Teori Darwin, yang di kemukakan oleh Ustaz Hasrizal. Saya terpanggil untuk memberikan pendapat, berdasarkan garis panduan (Saifulislam.com) berikut,
a. Kefahaman kita tentang teori evolusi bukanlah terhad kepada mahu menjawab soalan siapa / apa bapa kita. Ia juga bukan sekadar untuk mencela penjajahan Barat yang disandarkan kepada kepercayaan struggle of the fittest golongan Social Darwinist.
b. Sebagaimana teori evolusi mempunyai akar falsafah yang melunjur hingga ke era Ancient Greek dan Roman serta agama, maka ia turut menjadi bahan ulama Islam mencari jawapan kepada persoalan pra-sejarah ini. Namun terasnya adalah bersandarkan kepada ayat-ayat al-Quran yang telah memiliki pendirian yang tersendiri mengenainya. Walaupun ulama Islam memanfaatkan sumber yang ada di sekitar mereka, tetapi prinsip-prinsip al-Quran tetap menjadi teras utama kepada mereka.
c. Akan tetapi Allah SWT tidak menjelaskan di dalam al-Quran bagaimanakah Adam itu dicipta. Adakah dia dicipta secara berperingkat atau dengan satu proses sahaja? Sebahagian ahli Tafsir mendatangkan pandangan bahawa ketika Allah SWT mencipta Adam, tubuh Adam itu dibiarkan selama 40 tahun sebelum ditiupkan ke dalamnya roh. Di sini kita boleh melihat dengan jelas pengaruh tradisi Ancient Persian terhadap tafsiran berkenaan.
d. Mungkin isu-isu di atas dipandang remeh oleh sesetengah kita. Ia mungkin dengan mudah dilabel sebagai khurafat, mangsa Israiliyyat, dongengan dan sebagainya. Namun, perlu diingatkan bahawa bukanlah kesahihan fakta itu yang menjadi keutamaan. Saya tegaskan begini kerana sama ada ia dilihat dari tafsiran kepada teks agama, atau pun kepada pencapaian sains itu sendiri, persoalan-persoalan ini masih dibanjiri oleh hipotesis. Malah jangan lupa kepada ingatan Allah bahawa “AKU MENGETAHUI APA YANG TIDAK KAMU KETAHUI”.
e. Apa yang membimbangkan saya ialah, sikap orang agama terhadap isu-isu seperti ini akan menimbulkan masalah sebagaimana pemuka agama Kristian yang sombong, telah membiakkan manusia sains yang menjauhi agama. Soal agama mereka betul atau salah, tidak sempat untuk dibicarakan kerana sikap sombong dan simplistic minded mereka telah menyebabkan agama tidak lagi dilihat sebagai sumber kebenaran. Manusia beralih kepada sains kerana muak dengan kelakuan orang agama yang jumud.
f. Jika umat Islam mengambil jalan mudah dengan mengatakan semua ini mengarut, maka lebih mudahlah Islam akan dianggap mengarut, apabila gagal berinteraksi dengan pencapaian sains dan teknologi genetik hari ini. Saya bimbang dengan jumlah anggota masyarakat kita yang menarik diri dari masyarakat dan memencilkan diri kerana tertekan dengan trend perdana yang selesa dengan anggapan bahawa sains dan agama itu saling bertentangan.
g. ARTIKEL INI SAYA TULIS UNTUK MEREKA YANG SUDAH BIASA DENGAN SUBJEK-SUBJEK YANG DIBINCANGKAN. PERSPEKTIF SEJARAH DARWINISM, ILMU SAINS BIOLOGI DAN KEJURUTERAAN GENETIK DAN SERBA SEDIKIT PENDEDAHAN KEPADA ILMU SEJARAH DI KALANGAN ILMUAN ISLAM YANG AWAL. JIKA ANDA KELIRU DENGAN MANA-MANA ISTILAH, MANFAATKAN WIKIPEDIA. TERIMA KASIH.
2. Maka di atas landasan berbincang, saya kemukakan hujah-hujah saya, walaupun tidak menjawab secara terus. Pekara yang ingin saya ketengahkan ialah sikap muslim terhadap sains, yang sebenarnya ialah ilmu mengkaji Alam Semulajadi (Nature), Sunattullah dan carakerja Allah.
3. Rasa ketinggalan juga tak guna kemudahan blog yang ada. Lihat nota hari pertama. Selain dari mewariskan harta phisikal, saya memang banyak mengumpulkan bahan-bahan harta intelek untuk diwarisi oleh anak-anak. Ambil harta intelek dulu, nanti ayah akan bagi harta phisikal, yang selalu saya ingatkan anak-anak.
4. Dari segi turutan memberitahu, semua artikel yang ditulis adalah untuk memberitahu 1. diri (naf) 2. isteri 3. anak-anak 4. keluarga 5. sahabat, rakan 6. jiran 7. pembaca blog. Oleh itu segala sugutan adalah lebih banyak kepada menuding diri dari menuding kesalahan orang lain.
5. Bagaimapun olehkerana pembaca mungkin yang terdahulu mendapat limpahan idea dari yang tersirat, maka saya mengalu-alukan pendapat dari pembaca sekelian.
Allahu ‘alam.
From the day of my first silat class in New York City to the day I took my shahadda, July 30, 1999, I underwent a thorough self-examination that was comprised of two major experiences. One was the process of questioning the culture I was brought up in, and the second was struggling to understand the true nature of God and the role of religion in my everyday life. As for my culture, this one was not as difficult as most people would think. For me, growing up in America and knowing no better, it took a powerful experience, a gifted teacher, and the right knowledge to experience truth. American culture is very powerful because it constantly bombards us with sensual gratification. Unless we are removed from it, it is difficult to see its limitations, which are based on worshipping and putting faith in everything but God, the only One that can provide us with real, lasting support in our lives.

The Quran is the name given to Allah’s speech that He revealed to His servant and Messenger Muhammad (peace be upon him); speech that is recited as an act of worship, is miraculous, and cannot be imitated by man.

Subjek Muslim Historiography adalah subjek yang paling sulit kerana ia banyak bersifat falsafah. Saya dan rakan-rakan perlu mengenal nama-nama penting di dalam disiplin sejarah dari kalangan Muslim, serta metodologi yang digunakan. Subjek ini jugalah yang membuka mata saya kepada persoalan Darwinism dan isu Adam-adam Sebelum ADAM‘ sebagaimana yang pernah ditulis sebelum ini. Subjek yang sungguh mencabar, dan cabarannya jadi lebih rumit apabila peperiksaan bagi subjek ini berselang seminggu daripada subjek sebelumnya. Saya hampir kehilangan momentum.

salam perkenalan,
terima kasih kerana meluangkn masa untuk melawat dan membaca blog ana.
insyaALLAH xde masalah to, as you put it, sync our ideas. but i fear that i have very little to give in a discussion with someone as knowledgeable like yourself.
my views are mostly based on observations and also from liking things that i read with realities of today, so i don’t have much knowledge at all…
but i am more than happy, insyaALLAH
wslm
Awwal Ad Din Maaarifatullah.
Salam
What is important is that sync pulse, and as you put it very rightly, ‘based on observations’, cause Al Quran mentioned that, so many time, especially observations that is done by out two important sensors, the emotion and thought. Afala ta’kilun, afalah tazakrun and anything similar.
You know without that sync pulse, which include handshake in protocol, all those packets of information, will be tons of garbage. All these tarbiah from Allah, will be of no information to humankind, as what happen to Muslim now. Allah sets events in the universe, on a very artistic manner, that look like total randomness, but with scientific approach, those randomness, formulate into theories, laws, a beautiful creation, intelligent design in the other form, random natural selection in the right ways, all due to the availability of a sync pulse.
It’s not for the sake of you and me, is for the ummah, it for the sake of Islam. So acute the angle of diversion of Muslim from the straight path, the term Muslim becomes irrelevant to fight for compared to the real understanding of concept of Allah and his Universe. Not to invoke the sensitivities of main stream Muslim, but the truth is not in the name, it in the hakikat, as I have put it, the one which exists by zat not by name, especially when we can name any thing to what we like or understood.
There exist differences between a believer, a scientist, a believing scientist, a scientific believer and we have to define all these toward achieving the ultimate goal of maarifatullah. The seed of believe has to be sown, and we are lucky enough to be born as Taklid Muslim. With the opportunities that we have, being exposed to the western thinking world, we should maximize the use of brain’s power award to us by Allah. Then only we improve our status, or Taklid Iman to Knowledge Iman, toward the Ideal Iman.
The school of scientific study, call for the need to make and gather observations, then analytical process of taking only the truth and proven right. Finally the scientific community conclude on singularity (the unity of existence), which than developed into 4 basics natural forces (during Big Bang – azali), stipulated by the Theory of Everything (ToE). All these when carefully used assist our understanding toward the oneness of Allah. It’s all Tauhid. ToE is tauhid. Scientific approach is parallel to Tauhid objective, understanding the existence and oneness of Allah. I put it as Tauhid (belief) and Tauhid (proof).
Do not be alarmed by the finding of science, that God does not exist. Allah yang dimanusiakan manusia yang tidak wujud. Rujuk artikel saya berhubung bagaima manusia memahlukkan Allah, kerana tidak dapat mengimaginasikan denga cara yang hakiki, manusia mengambil jalan memahlukkan Allah, kerana itu lebih mudah untuk dikomunikasi dan diimaginasikan. Memang Tuhan begini tidak akan dijumpai, tetapi ToE, bukan 4 dimensi, 3 ruang 1 masa, Sekurang-kurangnya 11 atau 21 kata mathematiknya. Ini yang kita cari. Maarifatullah.
Salam..
I have to say that it is not easy to digest the concept that you have suggested. It takes a lot of my grey mater to think about it. But the problem is, how do I convey this message to my small kids? When I was small, I did a lot of readings on my own, to understand my own religion. But it was not guided. In a way, it is good also, because I was able to venture this journey without interruption. Luckily I was not swayed too far away. But, I don’t think I would allow the same quest done by my children, as now a days, there are a lot of danger lurking, waiting the opportunities to divert one’s aqidah. Semoga Allah memberi petunjuk & hidayah kepada kami, hambaMu yang hina.

Back to old saying ‘nature vs nuture’. Its not just a function of grey matter, naturally given by the gene, its something to do with nuture, that is the ability to interlink neurons (billion of them, I may have just 1 more of your number, being male chulvinist, hehe, typical man!). I started seriously interwieving (ie relally deep, critical, open minded thinking) only when I was 30, 7 years after having a beautifully crafted wife. I knew then she was second, my computer is first, because my computer is an extention of my grey matter. I am sorry she did complained. But imagine if I was exposed at much earlier age, Eienstin would have to come to me! Seriously, its all started after I pasang niat nak cari Allah hakiki untuk mengenal diri dan kehidupan. Rasanya belum dapat tapi pencarian itu lebih mengasyikkan.
Salam..
Interestingly, there is always a debate of nature vs nurture in the breastfeeding (bf) community. The probf group says that the higher IQ level in breastfed children is because of the consumption of the breastmilk itself. While the proformula milk (profm) group says that the higher IQ is mainly due to how the children is taught and nurtured.
The best part is that, only recently, there is a study to say, well actually, both nature and nurture works in a synergistic manner to bring a higher IQ in those children. The study showed that there is a certain gene that encode the breastmilk’s fatty composition, which is used in brain development. Those who do not have this gene or have a mutated gene, would not attain a higher IQ even though they were breastfed. Children blessed with this gene, and are breastfed, do well in IQ test; so they say.
For me, it does not matter whether the male counterpart (being chauvinist as usual) to think that they have more neurons than us; because in the end of the day, the taqwa counts. And I’m afraid that I do not have enough of those. Having said that, I’m still a doctor and you are not haha
Oke doke doc! It make life intersting to blend the Mars matters and Venus matters ao as to be able to creater caos on Earth. With the right synergy, even the sun will envy, beacuse there is nothing there except hidrogen converted onto helium. (not to forget this conversion that support life on Earth.)
I like the compromise in the second para. Is always albout balance or equilibrium in Greek. What do you mean ’so they say’, your are one of them. Balance is the essence of life. Without balance, it ends faster. At that what the 2nd Thermodynamics Law says (Its what Allah says in his heart or intention or iradah)
Right. Taqwa is the key word. Blend that with Maarifatullah, you will enjoy herein and hereafter. But be aware of huminization of Allah by main stream scholar. I know we are still searching .. the mathematics told me that. Remember si Anu, the favorite assumption in mathematics, we assume first then QED comes next.
I was jogging the time your fingers jog. My niat in jogging is not the be immortal or having long life, but to ease the process of passing herein to hereafter, on top of (my body) being able to sustain my soul, especially the contents of the grey matters.
So they say, because I’m not saying it. Because it stands there to be disprove. Even though I prefer it to be like that. Jogging in the morning is good for the lungs (provided that the air is not polluted). Jogging of the mind (and fingers) in the morning is not bad either. It is like a cup of coffee for caffeine addicts (luckily I’m not addicted to caffeine). Reading is indeed very addictive. There is a lecture (in fact, there are two lectures) that I have to give in few minutes time - more on breastfeeding :). Till then.
salam bro & doc,
maaf mencelah!
cerahkan sikit tentang yg di maksudkan ‘Grey Matter(s)’ (in general), mengikut kefahaman ‘lay men term’? TQ
My bro Adros,
Otak nama jasadnya, akal isinya. Bayi ada otak tapi belum berakal hinggalah baliq syrie. Manudia sudah berakal tetapi tak dapat menerima dalil aqli wujudnya Allah dengan adanya Alam ini sehinggalah ia balig hakiki.
Why grey? Let find an expert!
My doc Shiha,
I took 5 mug? of coffee every day! Don’t advice me to stop cause when the time come I will stop! Ee wah lawan doctor.
Salam..
Mr. Adros, grey matter secara asasnya bermaksud otak :) . Di dalam otak, bolehlah dibahagikan kepada dua bahagian utama; 1)Grey matter dan 2) White matter. Bila disebut grey matter, it simply means otak/pemikiran. Contoh di atas:
It takes a lot of my grey matter to think about it = It takes a lot of my brain to think about it = Saya memerlukan penggunaan otak yang mendalam untuk memikirkannya.
Lebih kurang gitulah :)
Wasalam
Owh Pak Din, kita jawab serentak :)
Kenapa grey? sebab kaler dia kelabu la hehe. Tak caya, bleh tengok kat wikipedia:

okeh nak kena hantar anak pi skolah
Yang ni tersangkut kat net, pasal wiki kot. Dah ubah spam management, tak boleh lepaskan immediate? atau I miss to see the way to do, so I have to cut and paste.

Salam…
Pak Din kena belajaq dengan Ustaz la on how to put the [reply] button :P As for your coffee intake; Go ahead, do as u please. You are not against me, you are only against your own body =] Rugi jugakla jogging pagi tadi
Its not me actually. I do take coffee but not that much, black no sugar. I was frustruted by an elderly person, diabetic, guru mengaji, typical hard ibadah women, mengajar anak saya mengaji. Semasa melawat suaminya meninggal, isteri saya bercerita dengannya kerana dulu pun dia mengaji di situ. “Makcik kena ambil air manis (sirap) ni, … ah kalau nak mati, mati juga”.
As you said, we are not against anybody, not even Allah. The choice is all ours. The Sunnah Allah is set, fix and unalterable, whoever cross the limit set, it happens, whether knowing or not knowingly. Try saying to a judge “I do not that is wrong to do this and that ..” then the judge answer “I do not know I have to punish you!”.
This is the point I try to put across to abid (follow Sariat Allah). They have no choice but to be alim (know Sunah Allah). Remember the story, the alim was sleeping and the abid was praying, the iblis, say “I rather test the abid then the alim”
Tang belajaq dengan Ustaz tu, sebenarnya, WP baru tukar sistem. Sabtu ni 10-12, a company called me for a free preview, how to build a web in an hour di Pudu Ulu. I think somebody had recommended my name to the company. I fear somebody would like to see who is me? I do not really like the idea. Know what I mean!
Eh lain tanya lain jawap pulak
Memang betul .. kena belajar dg Ustaz padal [reply] tu. Entah apa yang saya baca tadi.. Maaf.
Salam..
Really I do not know what you mean? However, I do think that you should bukukan all these treasures. It is a long and hard journey, to revive our anak - anak muslim to start thinking and loving science and to make it as the greatest ibadah. Just like our previous kegemilangan Islam [Ibnu Sina, Ibnu Rushd dsbnya]. But somebody or some people have to take the first step, don’t they? Books are still a powerful method to convey messages. Good luck!
Salam..
“As you said, we are not against anybody, not even Allah”
Well I beg to differ. I do think that she is against Allah. Allah says: Jangan lakukan kezaliman. The elderly lady that you told me is definitely menzalimi herself, by not taking care of her own body properly. She is against Allah, no?
But I suppose, agaknya dia cakap macam tu, out of frustration kot? Out of love and lost, mebbe she wants to follow her husband’s step? Kesian dia..
Which part that I confused myself, (hence confusing you) and which part is to booked. I agree, it is a long hard journey .. especially to heaven. Not only to revive our generations but us! Remember my 2am-pantun-4-kerat, “Bilakah fatwa akan berdasarkan fakta (sains)” itu yang ditunggu. But, do not stress ourselves out, enjoy the journey. The rough, tough, doubt jorney. We have started realising it, realising that we make mistake of taking science subject only for exam and then for job, but not for aqidah. Others have not awake yet. Most Muslim still so strongly immunized by the generation long iman taklid, its not easy to produce the antidose.
You mention about the golden age of Islam, how does it started? By the sweat of early leaders who took all knowledge from places they conqered, especially Greek, and translated it to Arab and vice versa. These traditions build up the knowledge and brain power of Muslim, that fueled the Golden Age. Muktazilah-like thinkers evolved, Ilmu Kalam started, philosophy (thinkers) grew, but what happened next? They were then forced to accept that all those thinking powers are not beneficial to the hereafter. Approx 700 year since Nabi saw was borned, the World power goes to the Muslim, and just because the misinterpretion of how to use the brain, the tsunami (of slowing the pace of life) coincide with the rise of Western Modern Thinking.
If you are confused, it must be my English is Greek based.
OK, I suspected earlier that was the confusion.
Allah itu Maha Adil, tidak bias, tidak berpolariti, ie -ve or +ve. When He created life, He created +ve thing. If you take a pencil, adn raise one end to denote +ve the other has to come down, ie -ve. Do we say Allah had created -ve. His Good Intention is to create life which is +ve, but -ve is a result of creation of +ve. This is where Thermodynamics Law #2 come handy. But He has created life.
His creation is stipulated in his CD (the current trend) called Qodo and Qadar. Imagine buying a CD game of Golf, say. The CD is complete. Is the CD bias? Is the CD that determine who wins or loose the game? Yes and No! depends on how you look at it. Its entirely up to the player to win or loose, agreed? He, as the writer or creator of the game, has set everything for a person to win. The player is not against Him! The player is against oneself. You know the rule, you follow the rule, you determine the end.
Salam..
“Never ever feel pressured by any situation. Allah is the one who enable events to happen. If we enjoy being with Him. should’t we enjoy his script? It the ablity to understand Him that count” (taken from previous email).
However Pak Din, it is for me, easier said than done. To enjoy this part of His script (in my case) takes a lot of my energy and courage. I’m not sure how long more can I survive and stay afloat. But the survival is not for me, it is for the kids. I think, I do understand Him a little bit. Let me explain in Malay.
Waktu teenagers dulu, ada satu insiden yang menyebabkan saya sangat sedih dengan satu keputusan bapa saya (thinking back now, he made that decision because he is my father, and was trying to protect me). Pada hari tu, berjam - jam saya fikir dan fikir. Kenapa? Kenapa? Kenapa? Kiranya waktu tu marah dan merajuk habis dengan bapa saya. Kemudian it came to me, kenapa nak marah bapa saya, sedangkan dia hanyalah semata - mata ‘a pawn’ (in a chess game) yang, samada sedar atau tidak, cuma melakukan perintah the Mastermind (Allah taala). Kalau saya marah kepada bapa saya, samalah seperti saya marah kepada Allah. Mana boleh seorang hamba marah kepada Tuannya? Selepas tu, saya susah nak marah kat sesiapa lagi kerana saya sebenarnya bukan berdepan dengan orang itu, tapi dengan Qada dan Qadar Allah.
Is my understanding correct? Is this in line with what you said above? [the third para of your last post]. Am not sure whether this is the right or wrong way of thinking, but it definitely helped me to become more patient and forgiving to others. Including my children’s father.
Alhamdulillah saya di pangkal dunia. Wasalam.
Ya Allah hidayahkan aku seperti mereka. Sihatkan aku seperti mereka. Pimpinlah aku seperti mereka. Berkatilah aku. Lindungi aku dengan rahmatMu dari kejahatan yang dipilih (qodo’).
Dibaca oleh Muslim, Ahli Sunnah Wal Jemaah di Malaysia, setiap pagi. Difahami oleh hanya segelintir Muslim. Saya ni keras bila tiba masa memahari kesalahan penyampai agama (yang berniat untuk melingungi ummah) dari kesalahan bapa (yang berniat untuk melindungi anak). Mereka semua hanya pakar berniat. Selalunya baik. Tetapi keberkesanan tindakan buruk baik hanya diperolehi dari hasil niat yang bukan hanya baik tetapi mengandungi unsur-unsur tahu atau berilmu. Niat sahaja tak cukup. Sebab itu Allah tak kira lagi bila orang berniat jahat sehingga dia melakukannya.
As you put it very rightly (English Melayu kot) its easirer said than done to enjoy His script. I like it when you say you know Him a bit, because that put us in a good starting point for the race. A typical Muslim say they knew Allah, they found Allah, all by words, all by niat, all by sangka, not by ilmu, not the hakikat, mendewakan bukan mengenali.
Bila kita rasa kita kenal, bak buat apa cari lagi. Macam mana kata kenal kalau carakejaNya tak pernah ambil tahu?
What make producers pay fat money to supersatars, is due to their ability to adopt, adjust, adapt, adhere, act the same script given to other actors, but fail to act accordinly. All of then act the same script. Most not worth paying a penny, some even worth to be punish, for destroying the script? For not delivering what the script requires.
Before I destroy same peotion of the script, let be aware that I am a human. With limited knowledge. I do make mistake. Nabi saw made mistake? My 2nd part of the DARWIN series stress on isi and kulit. We may differ in defination of kulit, but we know the function of kulit. Take my kulit with the isi definately, take off the kulit when you want to consume the isi. Our ability to differentiate and integrate (some of mathematical functions of my favourite) determine a superstar of His choice.
But the thing is, the more we redha, the bigger the ujian. The more we tabah, the stronger the dugaan. The script is getting tougher and tougher. Sabar & sujud merendah diri are highly needed. There goes solat tahajud to relieve stress - found at MadSyHawwaResFound [not bad aa these kids :)]
To become His superstar, is of course our dream. To deliver His script - is the hardest thing to do. Needs a lot of preparation and strategy, just like going to the war.
Salam.
The more you know, the more you do not know. The more you make don’t know, the more you sangka you know. “Its all relative!”, my good old friend said. He might be dead, but not his meme. Eienstien. I am not interested to met him physically, but spirit, soul, roh-ly. He spent 30 years thinking about, just to say that. The two theories of Realitivity. The math is so long is not for me to digest, but I have to understand, aqidahwise, what it meant.
When you take different angle, visions, things, events become appreantly different. Sorry to ask, where did Ahmad got his perfectionist tendency?. Thin air genetics. Get out of the the positiion or angle you are looking from now, and take a new stance. Where? I do not khow you! Remember the CD. No! … sorry to say, without understanding the purpose, unfortunatelly, you will be no were with the tahajjud. Not that I want to discourage anybody doing it, but be the alim not the abid. The alim is abid, when he is sleeping, but the abid is not an abid even when he is abid. Yes, its difficult.
Saying a lot of sorry do not make a good mind condition, as bad as the perfectionist tendency. Not saying one, make prople think we are ego. How can life be mode difficult? You mention ‘we are what we eat’ and others say ‘we are what we think’. The superstar definately has to simplified one thinking to qualify to be one. When he won the war, he remainded his subject, a bigger war is scheduled. How do we take it?
Salam,
where did u get the idea that Ahmad is tended to be perfectionist? It is not a bless, it is a burden. But I thought, “buat kerja betul, betul - betul”?
Its all from the blog … don’t worry, I don’t follow MCA style!
Salam..
Thank you for everything. I need to do a lot of thinking and rethinking. I need to move on with life and start doing the data collection for my thesis. Time is ticking.
Do consider writing a book from this blog. Many people have done it. Westerners mostly. It is not a culture in Malaysia yet. But it will. It’ll be one of the greatest gift for yourself. Thank you again.
Wasalam.
I was just tested by Allah.
I have written a substantial amount of words, when I accidentally press a wrong key. So it disappeared. This is the rewrite. How frustrating life can be sometimes, or, Murphy’s law is all time lurking around?
Yes, it was about not thanking to me but to Allah. But .. we need to say it to a human. How do we do that? It’s the understanding of the cotton things. We thanks the shirt for its nice appearance and the protection it gave to us. But the list of thanks include, the tailor, the cloth factory, the mostly colored laborers, and fundamentally to Allah for enabling cotton to grow on tree, and the strength and idea of mankind He formed or created to enable ever event.
Writing book is good idea. I don’t think I can do it alone. Care to double the problem?
Yes, life has to continue. That is basic. No matter what’s happening around to distract us in any form. Focus to our target. Easier said than done, especially when we have to perform single-handedly. Recommending procedure to solve problem might be seen as invading microorganism, and our antibody will automatically resist to that usually. We need someone assistance but not their help.
