الاسلام هو الحل

Dua malam lepas.

Tenang. Tiba-tiba hingar. Fight barangkali. Tiba-tiba member panggil. Jenguk luar tingkap. Ramai orang. Belas-belas. Bawak kain rentang. Al-Islam huwa al-7il - Islam itu penyelesaian. Seorang melaung. Yang lain mengikut. Tak dapat tangkap. Cuma. Allahuakbar, Allahuakbar, Allahuakbar, Walillahilhamd. I7na Ikhwanul Muslimin. Perlahan-lahan melalui jalan. Seorang di belakang bersuit hitam berambut uban. Bersalam-salam dengan semua tokey kedai di tepi jalan. Semua buat-buat tak kenal. Takut-takut. Macam takde benda berlaku. Lepas tu polis datang. Tapi takde benda berlaku. Ada permit gamaknya...

Jumaat sebelumnya.

Keluar masjid. Masuk Syarie3 Najar. Ada orang kasi kertas tepi jalan. Kurang lebih maksudnya. Islam itu Penyelesaian. Marilah saudara semua kita tegakkan Islam. Ikhwanul Muslimin menyeru anda. Pilihlah calon kami. Dr. Abd al-Salam Muhammad. Pilihanraya parlimen 2005. Kawasan Kasr El-Nil. Cantik kertas kempen tu...

Ikhwanul Muslimin semakin berani.

The Volkswagen Drivers

There was a volkswagen sriver who does not know much about his car. One day, while he was driving on a highway, his car broke dowm. He pulled over and went out to open the front bonet to check the engine. He was shocked to find out that the engine has gone. So he thought that it might fall down on the road somewhere.
He tried to stop other drivers to ask them but he afraid that they won't know much about Volkswagen. So, he decided to stop a Volkswagen driver too. A Volkswagen passed by and he stopped him.

Driver A: I think I dropped my engine somewhere, did you see it on the way?

Kari Pari Ammonia

Kamis lepas

Kawan pergi Mansoura. Mesti ambil van di 3abut. Tapi silap dengar. Terus pergi pengkalan ikan 3abur. Beli ikan pari.

Semalam

Semalam aku tak balik. Menumpang lagi. Malam aku balik. Tgk periuk ada kari. Hidu-hidu busuk. Ambil kertas tulis besar-besar RUGI BESAR. Baru nak tempek kawan dah balik. Tanya. Dia pun cerita. Semalam kawan bangun tengah malam masak. Kari buih-buih. Pagi bangun sahur. Masing-masing makan. Bau pelik. Kawan kata bau ammonia. Baru aku teringat. Memang bau ammonia. Macam dalam makmal kimia. Terus cepat-cepat masak Koki. Makan cepat-cepat. Ada yang tak sempat. Aku? Senang-senang makan rendang daging hancur rumah orang.




Sepuluh hari terakhir ni, i3tikaflah byk2. I3tikaflah lepas subuh sampai terbit matahari. Solat dua raka3at. Ganjaran sama macam pergi umrah dan haji. 3ala fikrah, hari ni ma'idah lauk baru. Makarunah sama kibdah goreng.

Makarunah=macaroni
Kibdah=hati
3ala fikrah=by the way

Jabal Musa bersalju lagi...

19 Nov

Sepulau awan membumbung kuliah. Kuliah Tibb Ain Shams sahaja. Lari balik cepat-cepat. Ada mau3id. Angin tiup kuat. Sejuk. Jalan lagi cepat. Takut hujan. Hujan turun. Setitik dua. Literally. Jabal musa nak bersalju lagi...

20 Nov

Suspek dpt S.A.D. Turun bawah jalan-jalan. Tgk masyarakat tempatan. Ramai tak pakai baju sejuk lagi. Indicator nyata. Polis. Masih seragam putih lagi. Seragam musim panas. Jalan-jalan bukan ambil angin. Ambil matahari. Buat apa ambil angin. Dah byk. Sekarang. Angin buat aku sakit. Matahari buat aku sihat. Nanti. Matahari buat aku gatal. Angin buat aku segar. Jalan-jalan lagi...




S.A.D. atau Seasonal Affective Disorder ialah sejenis penyakit atau sindrom yg berlaku biasanya pada musim sejuk akibat kurang terdedah cahaya matahari. Musim sejuk memang kurang cahaya matahari atau asik berkurung dlm rumah. Sejuk. Akibatnya, badan byk merembeskan melatonin(hormon utk tidur) yg biasanya dirembeskan apabila keadaan menjadi gelap. Akibatnya ialah kemurungan dan berlaku ketagihan terhadap makanan manis atau berkanji.

Stories from Mohiyuddin


A scientist was doing a research on flies. He caught a fly and put it in front of him. He clapped his hand, the fly flew away. Then he caught another fly, broke its wings and put it in front of him. He clapped his hand, the fly did not fly away. Then he made a conclusion:

IF YOU BREAK THE WINGS OF A FLY, IT CANNOT HEAR.



Bro. Mohd Mohiyuddin Mohd Sulaiman was a lecturer of mine back in MCIIUM. He taught us FKM(Fundamental Knowledge for Muslim). He is a Burmese, graduated in the same university in political sciences. Currently doing his PhD. He is a vegetarian, loves his books very much and can speak English, Indonesian, Urdhu, Arabic, Tamil, Burmese and a few local dialect esp Kelantan. He never misses to donate blood and remembers all of his male student's name(he said that girls names is hard to remember coz they're weird). Very very punctual and caring towards his students i.e willing to support any of his students' financial if needed. He even compulsarise all of his male students to pray fajr prayer at masjid every friday. If they do not come, he will wake every each of them in their college. A friend of Egypt origin Islamic writter Imran Naser Hossein. Against smokers. Every class with him is a wonder.

A Cardigan...

According to Macmillan English Dictionary, a dictionary recommended by the English Language Department of Matriculation Centre of International Islamic University, a cardigan is

a jacket knitted from wool, that you fasten at the front with buttons or a zip

and it adds below

Cardigans are usually thought of as an old-fashioned, rather boring piece of clothing, worn mainly by older people.

Beginning to love turtlenecks, let's test them this coming winter...

Currently

Copying Cerah's idea.

Following Cerah's policy of not exposing forearm to public.

Cannot sleep mostly because too much of AliCafe(if I drink cofee at night I'll fell mual/melugai/loya/tak sedap badan) and that's why i have posted two posting in a row, no three, no, maybe more afterward.

Want to play Yuri's Revenge...

Got myself a cardigan

I went to Carefour with some friends and boldly got myself a cardigan. I am longing for one. LE69. What do you think?

The Missing Link

I have missed ma'idah for two days in a row coz we have to attend our annual meeting and entertain a government oficer(dia bukak posa kat umah kitorang). When I continue with ma'idah, they have completed the rotation. We got boiled meat again. So, I waited for the day that I missed but it seems that they only offer three kinds of meal this year. But to my suprise, today we are expecting some meat ball but we got boiled meat again. They are not very much in order any more. So, I think, this year, we cannot expect to get any chicken or any halawa.

They say:

Do not look into gift horse's mouth.

Jgn tgk dlm mulut kuda yg org bagi sebagai hadiah...

Ramadhan's nuts


Every year, a week or two before Ramadan, grocery stores begins to sell nuts. Here are some of my conclusion.

Almond = crunchy + tawar
Cashew = lembut + lemak
Walnut = almond + cashew = lembut + tawar

Nutritional value from the best to worse.

1. Almonds
2. Cashews
3. Pistachios
4. Walnut
5. Peanut

Lauk hari ini

Lauk malar:

Nasik
Air
Turshi(pickles made from various vegetables)
Roti 3aish

Lauk boleh ubah:

Lahmah mafrumah(grined meat) balls
Mulukhiah(green leafy vegetables yg berlendir bila dimasak)
Bala7 muda bersira juga...

Regarding yesterday's lauk, a friend of mine was anxious that if the liver was undercooked, we might be infected by fasciola hepatica.

Aku: Kau puasa hari ni atau mcm tiap2 tahun?

كللام صبح جامع هداية

مفهوم حديث نبي

سسياف يغ صلاة صبح برجمعة دمسجد كمودين برادا دمسجد سهيغك تربيت متهاري دان كمودين برصلاة دوا ركعة مك فهالاث سفرتي منونايكن حج دان عمرة دغن سمفرنا

منوروت امام حديث اين صحيح والله اعلم

فد تاهون اين مسجد هداية مغنجوركن حلاقة ممباج القرأن ستياف فاكي سلفس صبح
تافي اكو لاري باليك

...هذا من فضل ربي

I passed...

Ramadhan Gai Wa Laban Juhayna Ma3ana...


I picked that line from a local milk advertisement...

Things you can find here but not there:

1. Fannus
2. Ma'idah Rahman
3. Qamaruddin

You see...they celebrate Ramadhan here just like we celebrate Eid there. The streets are decorated with colorful lik-lak2 lamp and small flags. Most shops or houses hang those fannuses. It just like a fiesta. There are Ma'idah Rahman where the sa'imoon are appreciated and always welcomed (you can see from the Ma'idah Rahman banner, tar7eeb bi dhuyuf Ar-Rahman). People read or recite the Qur'an almost everywhere.

A week or two before Ramadhan, grocery stores began to sell almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, cashews, raisins, dates, dried fruits i.e apricot, prunes, figs, coconuts...

Ramadhan Kareem.
