Your Believe In Allah

*Professor : You are Islam, aren’t you, son ?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?
Student : Absolutely, sir.
Professor : Is GOD good ?
Student : Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?
Student : Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Is satan good ?
Student : No.
Professor: Where does satan come from ?
Student : From … GOD …
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student : Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor: So who created evil ?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them ?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student : No , sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes.
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student : No, sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter. )
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.
P.S.
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you?

Muwasafat Tarbiyah

Assalamualaikum dan salam Sabtu buat semua. Alhamdulillah, seperti yang aku janjikan hari ini akan ku sambung perkongsian ilmu tentang Muwasafat Tarbiyah. Dan Inn syaa Allah, Wasilah Khusus Tarbiyyah Islamiah akan menyusul di entri yang akan datang. Hakikatnya kata muwasafat itu asalnya dari kata wa-so-fa yang bermaksud ciri atau watak. Muwasafat pula berkait dengan seseorang pelaku, (subject) dalam menyerlahkan sifatnya. Macam susah nak faham kan? Berbelit-belit pula jadinya. Sabar. Jangan stress. Baca perlahan-lahan, Inn syaa Allah faham lah nanti. Tarbiyah pula ertinya mendidik. Maksud yang lebih jelas tentang tarbiyah telah aku kongsikan dalam entri sebelumnya. Secara mudahnya Muwasafat tarbiyah itu bermaksud ciri-ciri atau sifat atau peribadi yang perlu ada dalam diri seseorang dalam membentuk seorang Muslim yang syumul. Allah berfirman dalam surah Ali Imran ayat 110 yang bermaksud: “kamu (umat islam) adalah umat terbaik yang dilahirkan untuk manusia, (kerana kamu) menyu

CRUSH

Assalamualaikum sister and brother yang  aku sayang. Ok, sebelum tu bila sebut sister jangan pula fikir benda yang bukan-bukan. Fikir tentang Yahudi, Kristian bagai. It just about 'kakak' yang diertikan dalam Inggeris je. Aku cakap awal-awal. Tak pasal-pasal nanti kena kecam, iluminati bagai. Please, open your mind. Change your mentality, ubah persepsi. So for today, apa yang akan aku kongsi, beri pandangan peribadi adalah tentang CRUSH. Bukan apa, tapi sejak 2,3 minggu akhir-akhir ni banyak pula confession cinta. Dekat mana? Dekat salah satu group telegram. Aku masuk group tu before group tu glamour yang tahap kalau boleh semua orang nak screenshot confession dalam tu jadi status whatsapp. Aku masuk group tu sebelum kebanyakan isi-isinya tentang cinta, tentang crush, tentang orang yang kau minat pakai baju apa, buat apa, budak mana, fakulti mana and so on. And so on. Group apa? Tak pelah. Tak nak lah aku cakap group apa. But probably most of USIM's students know ab

Tarbiah Itu Apa?

Assalamualaikum w.b.t. Apa khabar semua saudara seagamaku? Saudara sehati sejiwa dan moga-moga kekal sebagai saudara sejannah jua. Moga sentiasa sihat jiwa, raga dan imannya. Petang tadi, satu mesej masuk dalam group WhatsAppku. Suatu soalan jelas bertanda soal terlihat pada skrin handphoneku. Soalan dari adik lelakiku. “Apa maksud tarbiah yang ada semua tahu?” soalnya dalam salah satu group. Aku terdiam. Hakikatnya erti kata “tarbiah atau tarbiyah” itu selalu datang dan pergi dalam sehari-hariku. Selalu sangat aku dengar kata tarbiah itu. Sejak zaman sekolah menengah lagi. Tambah-tambah bila bersama dalam liko’ Badan Dakwah sekolah. Lagilah kerap aku mendengar kata itu. Namun seketika aku termangu sendiri. Sejauh mana aku faham soal tarbiyah sebenarnya? Tarbiah itu bukan sesuatu tetapi sesuatu itu memerlukan tarbiah. Kadang-kadang kita terlalu sibuk mentarbiyah orang lain, sampai kita sendiri terlupa mentarbiyah diri yang selalu dahagakan teguran dan pengisian jiwa. Kerana
