Esok Dah Tak Buka Ngan Korang dah...

Sedih aku dengo arif kate macam tu.
Dah abes exam aku hari ni (arif habis hari sabtu).
Gembira.
Sedih.
Risau.
Penat.
Letih.
Semua rasa ada.
Exam mase bulan puasa.
Seronok juga.
Pergi ke library 'seawal' pagi.
Berkampung di situ sampai waktu buka.
Buka bersama arif, firs, husen, acap, semua bukan budak bilik aku.
Sepanjang final nih, bilik aku kosong.
Semua ada hala tujuan masing-masing.
Lemek, din ke bilik aiman.
Juan dengan nadiah.
Aku pula dah macam budak bilik arif.
Selama ni tak pernah-pernah rapat dengan arif (kenal dia sejak di matrik).
Tapi kesempatan Ramadhan dan final exam nih memberi peluang aku cucuk-cucuk perut dia.
Belajar bermain bongo dari dia.
Hari-hari berbuka dengan dia.
Berbuka dengan budak bilik dia yang lain.
Inilah Ramadhan.
Selepas berbuka berjemaah Maghrib bersama.
Berterawih di Masjid 'bersama'.
Berkampung semula di library selewat orang terakhir yang keluar dari library tatkala library ditutup.
Balik ke kolej tidak terus ke bilik aku.
Tapi berkampung pula di bilik firs.
Berbincang itu dan ini.
Membuat itu dan ini.
Tak kurang juga mengumpat mengata.
Astaghfirullah.
Ada juga kadang-kadang petet datang melawat.
Juga aiman dan laptopnya.
Sama-sama berusaha untuk menjadikan final exam mudah dijawab.
Pukul 2, pukul 3 pagi adalah awal.
Pukul 4 telah mula mengantuk.
Pukul 5 sahur bersama - pengecualian diri aku yang jarang turun sahur.
Pukul 6 mula tertidur.
Pukul 7 kelam kabut membelek nota apa yang patut.
Pukul 8 kelam kabut siapkan diri.
Pukul 8.30 berlari anak sambil nota erat dalam genggaman.
Bincang apa yang terlintas sambil ke exam hall.
Pukul 12 puas dan lega.
Habis satu paper, paper seterusnya.. esok? Lusa?
3 hari paper berturut-turut.
Diselit satu, dua hari gap antara paper.
"Tiada masa untuk bernafas" ungkapan firs.
Betapa setiap saat perlu dipermanfaatkan.
Betapa setiap saat akan datang (sem hadapan) perlu tidak dirugikan.
Betapa janji-sumpah acap untuk seperti ini sem hadapan - study setiap hari - pergi library setiap hari - membuat latihan setiap hari.
Kerana sem hadapan kita bakal meningkat usia.
Kerana sem hadapan kita telah pun masuk 2nd year.
Kerana sem hadapan kita bakal major dalam bidang masing-masing.
Aku aerospace.
Acap biotech.
Firs mechatronics.
Husen biotech.
Sediakanlah diri kalian dengan semangat.
Sediakanlah diri kalian dengan matlamat.
Sediakanlah diri kalian dengan PERLAKSANAAN.
Ramadhan yang bakal berakhir jadikanlah sebagai landasan.
Untuk menjadi lebih baik.
Lebih cemerlang.
Lebih gemilang.
"Belajar rajin-rajin juga"
Balas dayana tadi di comp lab E3 selepas paper dynamics.
"Sem depan 4 flat" kataku.
Usahakanlah!
Bergeraklah ke arah matlamat!
Usah manis bicara semata.
Ramadhan oh Ramadhan!
Aku yakin tahun ini Ramadhan bakal merubah diriku.
Menjadi lebih baik.
InsyaAllah.
Terima kasih Allah kerana menunjukkan jalan.
Terima kasih rakan-rakan.
Terima kasih mun.
Doakanlah kejayaan kita bersama dunia dan akhirat.

Selamat beribadah di hujung Ramadhan ini.
Selamat menyambut hari raya aidilfitri.
Bergembiralah tanpa melupakan-Nya.

Commitment vs Intention

As I finish my Zuhur prayer at E0 musolla, Dr Waqar Asrar was giving tazkirah. He cited a hadith, the first hadith in Kitab Matan Arba'in. I forgot the matan, but Dr Asrar told us about sincerity. No one knows whether we are fasting or not today, only God knows, he said. But for praying, we can show that we are praying. That is the difference. We have to be extra sincere to ourselves during fasting. He said also in his tazkirah, about intention. He said that the word 'intention' in that first hadith of 40 should not be misunderstood. We all know that intention is what coming from our heart, even a slight glimpse is called an intention. For example, someone is thinking to do something good, but he or she does not do anything to that thing. People said this is called intention. But Dr Asrar reminded us that intention has to come together with commitment. Without commitment, intention should not be called intention. For example, the person thinks about something to do, and the person then give efforts to do the things. There is a difference between "I intended to do this" and "I commited to do this". Moreover he said, when we were thinking some good deeds to do, we must immediately do it. Because if we start thinking about the good deeds we are going to do, then satan will come to block our way, we will stat thinking excuses and other things that stop us to do the good deeds.

The lesson is, to do good deeds, we have to do it immediately.

Are You Fasting Today?

"If you got bad for your first midterm, bad for your second midterm, bad for your quizes, what do you expect then? You want me to give you A? If you got 49, then I can push to 50. But if 20? How? You see, you are not responsoble students. You did not work hard. Final is just 2 weeks to go. You? You still want to sleep? Playing football? Watching tv? Go around KL? I have done my job. My job is just to show you the way. This is not like school. In school, you were given everything. This is university. Lecturer is just to show you the door. If you want to go, you get in. If you dont want to go, you get out. You have to work more. Work hard. Ok?"


"Lecture is only a departure point for you to go further. If you read only my notes, you'll get C. You have to read other books.. read more.."


'What Did I Do Today?'

Did I smile at my brother?
Was I kind to my sister?
Did I teach another something that I know?
Did I call on You, to guide my way?
Tell me what did I do today

Did I? Did I? Did I?
What did I do?
Its fasting month.
I should know what I should do
Its final in two weeks
I better know what I better do
Should I?
Yes I should
Will I?
Yes I will
Ramadhan, show me the way
I will follow, insyaAllah...
