Sejak lebih kurang lima tahun yang lalu, setiap tahun tanda ingatan darinya tidak pernah lupa. Walau jauh di mata namun sentiasa terasa dekat dihati. Dengan jalinan kasih sayang yang ikhlas kerana Allah dan tanpa berbelah bahagi, beliau sentiasa membuatkan diri ini terasa begitu istimewa. Walau dalam kesibukan dan keributan, beliau tetap mencuri masa dan 'mengorbankan' lelah dan kelenguhan jari amainya untuk mengadun, menguli dan mengukir kek-kek cawan yang sungguh comel untuk hari istimewa saya. Sekalung kasih buat kanda. ---<@ Terima kasih juga buat kekanda-kekanda lain dan semua sahabat-sahabat atas segala tanda ingatan. Walau dengan ucapan SMS cuma, namun ia tetap membuatkan diri ini rasa amat dihargai dan disayangi. Ingatan kalian amat bermakna dan sentiasa membuatkan saya rasa bertuah kerana diberkati dengan kasih sayang yang melimpah ruah.
Semoga kasih sayang dan persaudaraan kita kekal selamanya... ---<@
Note: Also thanks to my beloved Shatilla. She has accompanied me for the whole day and kept me happy on that day...
Sepanjang minggu ini saya dihujani dengan fail-fail dan timbunan kertas-kertas yang menyumbang kepada kerja yang sungguh 'menarik'. Namun, yang lebih menarik adalah, di hujung deretan fail dan surat-surat itu, terdapat timbunan coklat dalam pelbagai bentuk sedang menanti dengan setia. Ada empat segi, bulat, bujur, ada dalam balang kaca, dalam tin bulat, dalam kotak, atas riba cik Teddy, semua ada. (",). Seronokkkkkkkkkkk (walaupun ia menyumbang kepada berata badan saya yang tidak pernah surut ini). hehehe...
Thanks! to you... ---<@
Note: Fren, home made choc tu sedap la... marvelous! Camna nak order ya?
Banyak sangat cerita-cerita tertunggak yang tak sempat di kongsi bersama. Tapi hari ini kiter 'melapangkan' sedikit masa untuk merakamkan setinggi-tinggi kasih buat my dear little darling di seberang.
My dear darling Leyinah dan Humayrah membuatkan AuntyJid menitiskan mutiara jernih pada hari jadi yang lalu. Terharu dengan tanda ingatan yang sangat istimewa ini. Hasil kerja tangan yang sungguh kreatif dan menyentuh kalbu.
Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much! Darlings... mmwaahhh... ----<@
A lesson in PERSEVERANCE Musique : Songbird – Barbra Streisand
Have you ever observed the behaviour of birds in the face of adversity?
For days and days they make their nests, sometimes gathering materials brought from far away
And when they have completed the nest and are ready to lay eggs, the weather, or the work of humans, or some animal, destroys it, and it falls to the ground, all that they have done with so much effort
Do they stop ? Bewildered, and leave the work ?
No way. They start over building the nest again and again until they have eggs in the nest again.
Sometimes,and very often before the chicks are are hatched, an animal, a child, or a storm destroys the nest once again, but this time with its valuable contents.
It hurts to go back to begin again… Even so, the birds do not ever stop, they continue to sing and build, and keep singing and building…..
Do you sometimes get the feeling that your life, your work, your family is not what you had dreamed. Do you sometimes want to say “enough”, the effort is not worthwhile. It is all too much for me!
Are you tired of it all? Do you feel that the daily struggle is a waste of time, your trust has been betrayed, your goals not reached just as you were about to get them?
Life strikes you down sometimes, but do you go on, say a prayer, put your faith in hope, not darkness? Do not worry if you get injured in the battle, that is to be expected. Gather yourself together and rebuild your life, so that it runs well again.
No matter what happens… Do not shrink back, but move forward. Life is a constant challenge, but it is worthwhile to mostly accept it. And never stop singing.
Truly in the heart there is a sadness that can not be removed except with the happiness of knowing Allah and being true to Him. And in it there is an emptiness that can not be filled except with love for Him and by turning to him and always remembering Him.And if a person were given all of the world and what is in it, it would not fill this emptiness....

Ini adalah spek pertama yang saya miliki selepas saya disahkan oleh doktor mengalami rabun jauh ketika berusia 14 tahun. Spek ini masih disimpan dengan elok di dalam 'peti besi' di rumah sebagai salah satu khazanah kesayangan saya. (",)
Ini spek yang ke 10 yang saya ada hingga hari ini. Masih juga tersimpan elok. Tapi sudah tidak boleh digunakan kerana besinya berat dan menyebabkan tulang hidung saya terasa hendak patah dan semakin kemek... (Alasan yang digunakan untuk memujuk emak belikan spek frameless). Hahahaha...
Tapi selepas 10 tahun menggunakan spek frameless, kini sudah seminggu pagi saya diselubungi kabus. Bangun pagi meraba-raba mencari berus gigi dan ubat gigi. Entah ke mana hilangnya 'cahaya' yang sentiasa menemani pagi saya setiap hari. Ajaib sungguh! Memang sungguh ajaib. Ia menghilangkan diri secara tiba-tiba. Mungkin juga ia 'merajuk' kerana bulan lepas saya berniat untuk menukar spek baru. Oh! spek. Please come back. I don't want to lose you. I Luv you!

Pagi yang hening. Asiah dan Fad sudah pergi kerja. Awal pula pagi ini mereka berdua keluar. Selalunya saya orang pertama yang buka pintu pagar.
Masuk dapur. Buka peti ais. Cari buah anggur. Pusing belakang. Aik? Ada pisang. Hmm... ni mesti pisang berangan Asiah. Jika dibiarkan lagi dua hari mesti busuk ni. Sayang. Ambil handphone. SMS Asiah.
"Asiah, KJ amik pisang Asiah dua biji ek. (",)."
"Ambil je semua."
"Uiks! Nak dua biji jer. Hehehe... TQ!"
Kejutkan Pon-pon bangun tidur. Vrommmmmm... meluncur keluar dari LP.
Setiba di trafic light. Banyak pula kereta. Pandang anggur di sebelah. Nyum... nyum... pisang berangan di kunyah dengan penuh kelazatan dan kenikmatan.
"Lambat pula pakcik trafic ni nak bagi peluang untuk Pon-pon jalan."
Ambil handphone di sebelah.

Seperti biasa, sambil bersiap untuk pergi kerja, saya akan memasang TV untuk mendengar berita terkini yang berlaku di dunia. Baju di tangan terus di gosok. Telinga terus dipasang dan koklea terus menjalankan tugas untuk memfokuskan kepada suara yang berbunyi melalui corong pembesar TV.
“Orang yang gagal mengawal alam kecil nescaya tidak akan dapat mengawal alam besar.” Tiba-tiba penceramah Motivasi pagi mengeluarkan kata-kata yang menarik perhatian koklea saya untuk terus bertugas dengan gigih pada pagi hari.
“Apa itu alam kecil?” Penceramah seolah-olah dapat membaca apa yang terdetik di dalam hati saya.
“Alam ria si kecil kah? Macam alam Lina Si Gadis Kenit,” Saya tersenyum sendiri dengan telahan yang berbaur lawak tak jadi yang cuba di mainkan oleh hati.
“Alam kecil adalah diri kita sendiri. Bagaimana kita mengawal atau dalam erti kata lain kita mendisiplinkan diri kita sendiri. Bagaimana kita mendidik dan membentuk diri kita? Adakah kita Berjaya menjaga dan membentuk diri kita ke arah positif atau sebaliknya?”
“Alam besar pula adalah dunia ini. Kita dilahirkan sebagai khalifah di muka bumi ini adalah untuk menjaga dan mentadbir bumi supaya sentiasa dalam keadaan baik. Jadi, jika kita tidak dapat membentuk diri sendiri ke arah positif bagaimana pula kita hendak mentadbir bumi ini dengan baik?”
Hmm… Saya terfikir sejenak. Betapa ramai umat manusia sekarang yang mengaku beragama Islam tetapi tidak mengamalkan cara hidup Islam. Kita tidak perlu melihat perkara yang besar, tetapi cukuplah sekadar kita teropong perkara kecil yang mungkin di anggap remeh oleh sesetengah pihak. Contoh yang paling hampir dengan kita adalah cara percakapan. Setiap hari kita menggunakan percakapan sebagai medium untuk berkomunikasi dengan orang lain, (Situasi ini terkecuali untuk mereka yang ditakdirkan tidak boleh bercakap secara semula jadi).
Tetapi sebagai manusia normal, pernahkan kita terfikir tentang bahasa dan perkataan yang kita gunakan dalam percakapan seharian. Bagaimanakah bentuk bahasa yang kita gunakan?
Kasar? Sinis? Lemah lembut? Sopan santun?
Tidak pernahkah kita terfikir, jika semua umat manusia mengamalkan apa yang dianjurkan oleh Islam iaitu halus dalam berbahasa, nescaya tidak akan ada yang disakiti dan menyakiti.
Tetapi malangnya umat manusia hari ini lebih cenderung untuk berkasar dan menggunakan bahasa yang kesat dalam berbahasa. Mungkin dengan cara itu mereka akan berasa lebih superior dan hebat. Akibatnya, setiap hari hati manusia sentiasa diratah dengan kelukaan dan kedukaan dek kata-kata yang tidak sepatutnya dilemparkan. Dari situ muncullah perasaan dendam dan hasad serta saling benci membenci di kalangan masyarakat Islam. Sungguh menyedihkan!
Kadang-kadang saya terfikir, tidak pernahkah manusia ini mengimpikan sebuah kehidupan yang disteril dari kebencian dan permusuhan?
Kata saya: Ikhlaslah menjadi diri sendiri agar hidup penuh dengan ketenangan dan keamanan berpanjangan.
Bandar Seri Begawan - Twenty-two year-old future Queen of Brunei spilled royal blood yesterday.
But the Bruneian princess, HRH Pengiran Anak Sarah, the wife of the Crown Prince HRH Pengiran anak Al-Muhtadee Billah did all that for a good cause -- to voluntarily save those who needed blood most.
For yesterday was World Blood Donation Day. It is celebrated every June 14, officially declared a historical day and marked by the World Health Organisation since 2005.
The Bruneian Princess who is a University of Brunei student appeared at the blood donation centre at the RIPAS Hospital with eight of her colleagues from the Army cadet platoon to give their blood voluntarily yesterday.
Health minister Haji Suyoi said, "Donating one's blood not only saves lives, it also gives a sense of great satisfaction to donors knowing that their blood is used by those who really need it."
Brunei is lucky to have one of the safest blood supply systems in the world, he added.
Meanwhile Chief Scientific Officer at the RIPAS hospital, Hajah Siti Aisah, said that blood donors with the rhesus negative blood type are difficult to find here, resulting in high demand.
Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was born on April 9 1987 as Dayangku Sarah at the RIPAS Hospital in the Brunei capital.
Princess Sarah is the third and youngest child of Pengiran Salleh Ab Rahaman bin Pengiran Haji Damit and Rinawaty binti Abdullah @ Suzanne Rahaman Aeby. Her mother is Swiss. Her two elder brothers are Awangku Irwan and Awangku Adrian.
Princess Sarah's education began in 1993 at the age of six at St. Andrews School where she sat for her Primary Certificate of Education examination in 1988 with outstanding results.
She joined the Paduka Seri Begawan Sultan Science College where she passed her examinations for the Brunei Junior Certificate in 2001 and Cambridge General Certificate of Examination O Levels in 2003.
Despite her busy schedule as the consort to the Crown Prince, she still manages to find time to continue to social and charitable work.
The prinesss has a son born in March 17 last year. She has not only earned commendations from her teachers for her academic ability but also for her involvement in sports and charity runs. She is well-known among her teachers and friends for her grace, intelligence and positive attitude towards work in all areas. . . . . . .
If given a chance, I wish that I could go back in time, to a by-gone era where there's no such thing as computers (but I can't live without my computer) and cell phones.
I prefer life at a snail's pace and I envision myself sitting on a verandah, drinking a strawberry juice while soaking up the sun and watching the beautiful world while away....
Ha! Ha! Ha!
Note: What can I do now? Opss! Prayer call. Better I stop and go to the Musolla. I need a rest! :-(
Semalam terang, tapi hari ini tiba-tiba terasa berkabus. Nafas terasa sesak. Mata terasa pedih. Matahari dan bulan makin malap. Walaupun mereka berdua mencuba sedaya upaya untuk menerangi alam, tapi jerebu lebih tebal dan cahaya mereka berdua tidak dapat menembusi bumi.
Oh! Kasihan....
Terasa seperti tinggal di dalam planet yang sudah uzur. Terasa seperti makhluk kerdil yang berjalan di tengah-tengah hamparan yang sakit. Terasa paru-paru berat hendak menyedut udara.
Oh! Kasihan....
Petanda planet bumi sudah tenat. Udara berjerebu dan dipenuhi dengan pelbagai pencemaran. Tidak cukup dengan habuk-habuk, ditambah pula dengan segala macam virus yang ganas. Semuanya memberontak menunjukkan 'kuasa' untuk mencari pemangsa.
Yesterday I was asking the same question but today I got the answer!....
"I complained to Waki' about the weakness of my memorization, So he instructed me to abandon disobedience; He informed me that knowledge is a light, And the light of Allah is not given to a sinner."
Pusing kanan Pusing kiri Tengok atas Tengok luar tingkap
Hmm…
Getup… getup… Sendi lengan meletup
Gosok mata kanan Gosok mata kiri
Hmm…
Rasa macam nak lari ke Jeju Island! Yes! That’s it!
Hmm…
Ha!!!
Tenung almari baju.
“Rasanya baju kurung ni kena asingkan dari baju-baju lain,”
Zasssss…
Sambar kunci pon-pon
Sampai kedai perabot 1 = tiada yang berkenan
Terus membelok ke Parking Jusco = tiada yang sesuai + tak berbaloi
Vrommmmmmm…
Meluncur laju ke Alamanda
Panjat eskalator Carrefour
Pusing… pusing….
Belek… belek….
Hmmm… yang ini sesuai.
Ada 3 pintu. Cantik dan berbaloi.
“OK! Encik. Saya nak almari ni. Bila boleh hantar?”
“Pagi esok kami hantar.”
OK! Set!
Selesai urusan pembelian, terus balik ke rumah menanti ketibaan almari dengan hati berbunga-bunga. Esok semua baju kurung bakal dipindahkan ke dalam almari 3 pintu. Blaus dan jubah saja dalam almari 2 pintu ni.
Keesokan paginya…
Tok… tok… tok…
Ha! Dah sampai!!
Aik? Kenapa sekeping saja ni?
“You tak pasang siap-siap ke?”
“Kami hantar saja. Tak dak pasang-pasang.”
Ayo..yo macha!! Macam mana saya mahu pasang ini almari?
Hmm…
Macha itu terus berlalu menuju ke lorinya di depan pagar rumah tanpa sepatah kata.
Datang dengan lori 6 tayar. Ingatkan dah bawa almari besar tegak berdiri. Rupa-rupanya kepingan almari dalam kotak sekeping jer. Eksyen jer lebih sampai naik lori besar-besar.
Apa nak buat ni?
Solution 1: Pergi kedai perabot depan rumah.Minta tolong pekerja di situ pasangkan dan bagi upah sikit. = Tak munasabah
Solution 2: Call customer service C4 buat pengaduan dengan harapan mereka akan ambil balik kepingan almari tu dan pasangkan = harapan untuk berjaya adalah tipis.
Solution 3: Call Abang Fais minta tolong pekerja dia datang pasangkan dan bagi upah RM50. = Hari Sabtu tak ada orang nak datang kerja.
Solution 4: Pasang sendiri jerlah!!!
Tarikkkk nafasssssssss…
Susun semua skru one by one
Susun semua kepingan papan ikut turutan nombor yang tertera.
Angkut kepingan papan naik atas masuk ke dalam bilik sekeping demi sekeping. Buat senaman tangga. (",)
Pasang ikut langkah-langkah yang diberikan pada kotak.
Selepas hampir lima Jam.
SIAP!
Fuhhh!!
Pandang almari yang terbaring dengan senyuman puas. Ingat perempuan takleh buat sendiri ker? Hmm.. See the leg man!
Almari berbaring?
Alamak! Macam mana nak 'bangunkan' almari ni?
Kengkawan!! Tolongggg!!
Malam menjelma.
Kawan balik.
“Kawannnn… tolongggg!!”
“Jid pasang almari ni sorang-sorang? Kenapa dulu Jid tak ambil course architecture jer?
Hahahahahaha….
Tadaaaaaa... Almari 3 pintu yang dipasang sorang-sorang. Sebab tu sempat ambil gambar semua step... (",).
A blinding flash of white light Lit up the sky over Gaza tonight People running for cover Not knowing whether they're dead or alive
They came with their tanks and their planes With ravaging fiery flames And nothing remains Just a voice rising up in the smoky haze
We will not go down In the night, without a fight You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools But our spirit will never die We will not go down In Gaza tonight
Women and children alike Murdered and massacred night after night While the so-called leaders of countries afar Debated on who's wrong or right
But their powerless words were in vain And the bombs fell down like acid rain But through the tears and the blood and the pain You can still hear that voice through the smoky haze
We will not go down In the night, without a fight You can burn up our mosques and our homes and our schools But our spirit will never die We will not go down In Gaza tonight
Song Title : We Will Not Go Down In Gaza Tonight Artist/Band : Micheal Heart
A love-hate relationship is a personal relationship involving simultaneous or alternating emotions of love and enmity. Sometimes the person may love the other person/object, but hate oneself for it. This relationship does not have to be of a romantic nature, and may be instead of a sibling one. It may occur when people have completely lost the intimacy within a loving relationship, yet still retain some passion for, or perhaps some commitment to, each other.
The term it is used most frequently in psychology, popular writing and journalism, much more so than in everyday discourse, and almost never amongst the individuals of whom it is predicated. It can be extended to relationships with inanimate objects, or even concepts. In popular journalism, it is often employed speculatively by writers to explain the relationship between celebrity couples who have been divorced, then who reunite (notably Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton or Eminem and Kimberly "Kim" Scott).
A related theme is "obligatory friendship", where usually one party feels indebted to another and forges a friendship but still holds a grudge over a particular past disappointment or set of disappointments, while the "creditor" in the relationship agrees to the nature of the relationship often for security reasons, but remains aware of the "debtor's" grudge and feels counter-indebted until the cause of the grudge is sufficiently overcome.
The concept is frequently used in teen romance novels where two characters are shown to hate each other but show some sort of affection or attraction towards each other at certain points of the story. The concept of a love-hate relationship is frequently used in teen novels to describe the romance between a good girl and a bad boy.
It can be argued that, due to the fact that the subjects love each other despite issues they have, a love hate relationship actually represents a stronger bond than a simple love relationship does. Also since a constant hatred is felt, any new issues which emerge are unlikely to put the relationship in jeopardy. However it is also true that no real happiness may be attained from such a relationship as there would always be discontentment and no peace.
The mystery behind love-hate relationships
People who see their relationships as either all good or all bad tend to have low self-esteem, according to a series of seven studies by Yale researchers published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
In two of the studies participants were asked to indicate as quickly as possible whether each of 10 adjectives applied to their relationship partner, adjectives such as caring and warm or greedy and dishonest. Partners in this study included college roommates and mothers.
Individuals low in self-esteem were considerably slower to respond when negative and positive adjectives were alternated than when similar adjectives appeared in blocks. Those high in self-esteem were equally quick to respond to the adjectives no matter how they were presented.
"This suggests it was hard for them to think of their partners as a mix of positive and negative characteristics at a given point in time," said Margaret Clark, a professor in the Department of Psychology and senior faculty author of the study. "We do not think these results are limited to any one type of relationship. We think they apply to any close relationship."
Clark said the effects were obtained only when people judged relationship partners. There was no delayed response when judging an object, in this case, their computer.
The researchers first measured self-esteem by asking participants to fill out the Rosenberg self-esteem inventory, a self-report measure of self-esteem. The reaction time task was administered weeks later by an experimenter who did not know their evaluation results.
"Those low in self-esteem are chronically concerned about whether or not their close relationship partners will or will not accept them," Clark said. "In good times, those low in self-esteem tend to idealize partners, rendering those partners safe for approach and likely to reflect positively upon them. At the first sign of a partner not being perfect, however, they switch to focusing on all possible negatives about the partner so as to justify withdrawing from that partner and not risking vulnerability."
Based on their research, Clark and Steven Graham, first author of the study, developed a way to measure the extent to which people segregate thoughts about partners into "all good" and "all bad" qualities. Their new scale is called the I-TAPS (Integration of Thoughts About Partners Scale).
Me: Indeed, I am very thankful that I've been given the chance to be here. I hope that I'll pass through all the obstacles.
You: I always believe that no matter where you are, just to be who you are right now, is something. Not everyone is as lucky as you. Hence, just be yourself and as wonderful as you are!
Perjalanan ini Trasa sangat menyedihkan Sayang engkau tak duduk Disampingku kawan
Banyak cerita Yang mestinya kau saksikan Di tanah kering bebatuan
Tubuhku terguncang Dihempas batu jalanan Hati tergetar menatap kering rerumputan
Perjalanan ini pun Seperti jadi saksi Gembala kecil Menangis sedih ...
Kawan coba dengar apa jawabnya Ketika di kutanya mengapa Bapak ibunya tlah lama mati Ditelan bencana tanah ini
Sesampainya di laut Kukabarkan semuanya Kepada karang kepada ombak Kepada matahari
Tetapi semua diam Tetapi semua bisu Tinggal aku sendiri Terpaku menatap langit
Barangkali di sana ada jawabnya Mengapa di tanahku terjadi bencana
Mungkin Tuhan mulai bosan Melihat tingkah kita Yang selalu salah dan bangga dengan dosa-dosa Atau alam mulai enggan Bersahabat dengan kita Coba kita bertanya pada Rumput yang bergoyang
A Touching Poem Dedicated to the Prophet Mohammed SAW
Hayati bait-baitnya yang sangat menyentuh hati....
We ask for mercy by the tongue of the sinful from Allah the Most Revered
O messenger of Allah your life is mercy to the worlds flowing in our hearts we see you with our hearts at age one you are with the clan of BaniSa'ad all of the caretakers refused to tend to you for that the clouds were upset so they stopped sending rain the lands of Bani Sa'ad went dry a small cloud in the sky infatuated with you always shading you people gathered to pray for rain

Badiuzzaman Said Nursi, Ulama, Mujaddid & Sufi Besar Abad 20
Badiuzzaman Said Nursi dilahirkan di perkampungan Nurs di Wilayah Bitlis, yang terletak di timur Anatolia pada tahun 1876M, iaitu tahun Sultan Abdul Hamid II menaiki takhta pemerintahan Uthmaniyyah.
Beliau yang kemudiannya diberi gelaran Badiuzzaman (Keagungan Zaman) berketurunan Kurdi dan tidak bertutur di dalam Bahasa Turki, hinggalah beliau berhijrah ke bandar Van.
Semasa di Van, beliau telah membuat analisa terhadap tahap kefahaman masyarakat tempatan, khususnya kaum Kurdi terhadap Islam.
Akhirnya beliau membuat kesimpulan bahawa beliau berkewajipan untuk belajar ilmu-ilmu Sains supaya dapat disinergikan dengan ilmu teras Islam yang lain.
Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi telah meluangkan masa belajar dengan tekun ilmu Geografi, Fizik dan Falak.
Beliau seterusnya mengusahakan agar ilmu Sains ini diajar seiringan dengan ilmu agama agar mereka yang tidak dapat memahami kecuali melalui ‘bahasa Sains’ akan dapat juga sampai kepada hakikat Iman.
Ketika berlakunya kucar kacir besar-besaran di Istanbul pada 13 April 1909 yang membawa kepada tersingkirnya Sultan Abdul Hamid II dari takhta Khalifah, Parti Ittihad ve Terakki telah pun menguasai negara. Mereka telah menangkap ramai sarjana Islam dan diheret ke muka pengadilan.
Di antara mereka itu ialah Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi. Tetapi disebabkan oleh kepintarannya berhujah, mahkamah gagal mensabitkan beliau dengan sebarang pertuduhan, dan akhirnya dibebaskan.
Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi juga pernah pergi ke Syam (Damsyiq) dan menyampaikan khutbahnya di Masjid al-Umawi di sana.
Khutbah yang disampaikannya di situ dikenali sebagai al-Khutbah al-Syâmiyyah, menjelaskan tentang sebab-sebab kemunduran umat Islam sebagaimana yang diperhatikannya.
Beliau juga telah secara sukarela menyertai Perang Dunia Pertama bersama-sama dengan 3000 orang anak muridnya.
Mereka bertempur dengan tentera Russia yang bekerja keras menawan Bitlis. Selepas ramai tentera Russia terbunuh di satu pihak, serta tentera Islam dari kumpulan Turki dan Kurdi di satu pihak yang lain, akhirnya Bitlis jatuh ke tangan Russia.
Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi telah ditawan dan dipenjarakan.
Akan tetapi, semasa di penjara itu, beliau tetap meneruskan kerjanya mengajar Islam kepada tawanan perang.
Badiuzzaman telah berjaya melepaskan diri dari tawanan tersebut dan melarikan diri ke Siberia.
Kemudiannya beliau ke Eropah dan seterusnya pulang ke Istanbul melalui Warsaw, Berlin dan Vienna.
Di Istanbul, Enver Paşa yang merupakan Timbalan Menteri Pertahanan ketika itu telah mengurniakan Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi pelbagai anugerah kehormat di atas jasanya memimpin orang ramai ke arah bangkit menentang penjajahan Russia.
Enver Paşa juga telah melantik beliau menjadi anggota Darü’l-Hikmeti’l-Islamiye, sebuah akademi yang menghimpunkan sarjana Islam di Istanbul ketika itu.
Selepas berlakunya Perang Kemerdekaan dan berjayanya Dewan Perhimpunan Kebangsaan Turki dibentuk, kabinet Atatürk telah menjemput Badiuzzaman menyertainya di Ankara.
Jemputan itu diterima, namun selepas tibanya Badiuzzaman ke Ankara, dia tidak dapat bersekongkol dengan mereka kerana beliau mendapati anggota kabinet itu tidak patuh kepada Syariat Islam.
Beliau menegur Atatürk dan anggota kabinetnya, “tidak ada kebaikan yang boleh saya harapkan daripada golongan yang mengabaikan Solat!”
Selepas itu, Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi meneruskan kegiatannya berdakwah, mendidik masyarakat dan sentiasa berulang alik di antara penjara dan pembuangan, hasil tekanan yang dibuat oleh regim Atatürk.
Pada tahun 1935, kerajaan Republik Turki telah membuat pertuduhan terhadap Badiuzzaman bahawa kononnya beliau menubuhkan sebuah gerakan rahsia yang menentang pemerintah.
Beliau telah didakwa di Mahkamah Eskişehir dan kemudiannya dibuang ke Kastamonu. Manakala pada tahun 1943, Mahkamah Denizli telah mendakwa Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi bahawa beliau memimpin sebuah pergerakan rahsia yang bertujuan menggulingkan pemerintah, serta menuduh Atatürk sebagai ‘Dajjal dan Pembinasa Agama’.
Pendakwaan itu berlangsung selama 9 bulan. Beliau akhirnya dibebaskan daripada pertuduhan tetapi ditahan daerah di Emirdağ, sebuah bandar di daerah Afyon.
Pada tahun 1952, Badiuzzaman tiba di Istanbul tetapi kemudiannya pulang semula ke Emirdağ dan di peringkat inilah, risalah-risalah karangannya, dikumpul dan ditulis dengan huruf Arab untuk disebarkan kepada orang ramai.
Pengikut Badiuzzaman menjadi semakin ramai khususnya selepas tahun 1950 iaitu di era pemerintahan İsmet İnonu.
Penulisan Badiuzzaman telah menjadi pembimbing yang besar kepada umat Islam di Turki.
Beliau menulisnya secara non-linear iaitu mentafsirkan ayat-ayat al-Quran bukan mengikut susunan Surah atau Ayat.
Sebaliknya berdasarkan kepada keperluan masyarakat menerusi isu-isu yang timbul dari semasa ke semasa.
Beliau sendiri menggelar Risalahnya sebagai “penolak keraguan yang ditimbulkan oleh Syaitan-syaitan Jin dan manusia, serta pengukuh Aqidah kaum Muslim di jalan yang Haq dan betul”.
Pada tahun 1960 Said al-Nursi berhasrat untuk berpindah dari İsparta ke Urfa. Di rehlah kali inilah, Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi menghembuskan nafasnya yang terakhir selepas suatu perjalanan hidup yang panjang dan berliku, iaitu pada 23 Mac 1960 bersamaan 25 Ramadhan 1379.
Beliau selamat dikebumikan di Urfa.
Akan tetapi pada 11 Julai 1960, Revolusi Tentera telah menggulingkan pentadbiran kabinet Adnan Menderes dan beliau sendiri dihukum gantung oleh pihak Tentera dengan alasan bersikap acuh tidak acuh di dalam mengekang kebangkitan semula golongan pro-Islam.
Pada masa itulah, anggota revolusi telah mengarahkan supaya makam Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi dibongkar dan jenazahnya dikeluarkan untuk dipindahkan ke İsparta.
Di bandar itulah, Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi bersemadi di suatu tempat yang tidak diketahui, hingga ke hari ini.
Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi telah mewariskan hasil pemikirannya di dalam jumlah yang besar. Antaranya ialah:
1.Sözler (al-Kalimât) yang terdiri daripada 33 Risalah. Mektubât, terdiri daripada 50 Risalah. Lem’ât, terdiri daripada 15 Risalah. Juzuk tambahan kepada Rasâil al-Nur iaitu Lâhika Kastamonu, Lâhika Emirdağ dan Lâhika Barla.
2. Tulisan-tulisan lain seperti İşaratül-'İcaz, Mesnevi-i Nuriye dan sebagainya
Dakwah yang dilakukan oleh Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi menonjolkan kesungguhan beliau memecahkan kebekuan tradisi pengajian ilmu Islam, mendorong kepada penguasaan ilmu Syariat dan Sains dan saling mempergunakan kedua-dua ilmu tersebut ke arah memahami hakikat Iman.
Beliau tidak banyak mendatangkan perselisihan pandangan Ulama, sebaliknya banyak memfokuskan kepada meneroka pelbagai kaedah penyampaian demi membolehkan semua lapisan masyarakat dapat memahami mesej yang hendak diketengahkan.
Semoga Allah mengurniakan sebaik-baik ganjaran untuk Badiuzzaman Said al-Nursi yang kehidupan dan matinya bujang, kerana berkahwin dengan perjuangan yang gigih dan berpanjangan.

Something to bring the day to a close and brighten up your day tomorrow....
How To Dance In The Rain
It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80's,arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb.
He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.
I took his vital signs and had him take a seat, knowing it would be over an hour before someone would be able to see him.
I saw him looking at his watch, and decided, since I was not busy with another patient, I would evaluate his wound.
On exam, it was well healed, so I talked to one of the doctors, got the needed supplies to remove his sutures and redress his wound. While taking care of his wound, I asked him if he had another doctor's appointment this morning, as he was in such a hurry.
The gentleman told me no, that he needed to go to the nursing home to eat breakfast with his wife.
I inquired as to her health; he told me that she had been there for a while and that she was a victim of Alzheimer's Disease.
As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit late.
He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had not recognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him, 'And you still go every morning, even though she doesn't know who you are'?
He smiled as he patted my hand and said, 'She doesn't know me, but I still know who she is'.
I had to hold back tears as he left; I had goose bumps on my arm, and thought, 'That is the kind of love I want in my life'.
True love is neither physical, nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, and will not be.
With all the jokes and fun that are in e-mails, sometimes there is one that comes along that has an important message.
This one I thought I could share with you.
The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the best of everything they have.
'Life isn't about how to survive the storm, But how to dance in the rain.'

Wahai pemilik nyawaku Betapa lemah diriku ini Berat ujian dari-Mu Ku pasrahkan semua pada-Mu
Tuhan baru ku sadar, indah nikmat sihat itu Tak pandai aku bersyukur Kini kuharapkan cinta-Mu
Kata-kata cinta terucap indah mengalir berzikir di kidung doaku Sakit yang kurasa biar jadi penawar dosaku Butir-butir cinta air mata ku teringat semua yang Kau beri untukku Aku dikhilaf dan salah selama ini ya Illahi Muhasabah cintaku
Tuhan kuatkan aku Lindungiku dari putus asa Jika aku harus mati Pertemukan aku dengan-Mu

Ya dawwa al-`ayyaana ishtiqnaalik wa al-hawaa nadaanaa
Lagu itu mengingatkan saya pada seseorang yang bernama A.Q.B.A! Kerana itu lagu kegemarannya Dering telefon bimbit di jadikan nada
Semasa kecil menjadi anak saudara Chik Dah yang paling manja
Di mana saja pasti atas riba duduknya
Sekilas pandang orang akan tertanya-tanya
“Anak Nab yang ini lelaki atau perempuan, ya?” Dengan bulu mata bak bulu mata unta Sopan tingkahnya Santun lakunya Termasuklah riak wajahnya Laksana anak perempuan lagaknya Sentiasa beradab dan berbudi bahasa
Tapi jika ditanya pabila besar nak jadi apa? Konduktor bas jawabnya Sebab apa? Boleh bawa duit seuncang katanya Habis sekeluarga risau dibuatnya Dengan cita-cita yang entah apa-apa
Namun, syukur kehadrat-Nya Cita-cita itu terus terkubur begitu saja Berubah jadi pilot sudahnya Cuba untuk masuk Akademi Tentera Udara Tapi belum rezekinya
Nenda mengimpikan seorang imam di dalam keluarga Alhamdulillah syukur sudah tiba masanya A.Q.B.A Berjaya tunaikan impian nendanya Kini InsyaAllah 30 Juzuk di dalam dada A.Q.B.A harapan dan kebanggaan keluarga
Pada suatu ketika Saya tertanya-tanya Siapa A.Q.B.A? Dengan senyuman penuh makna Abdul Qaiyum bin Aris katanya
Saya cuba menyakat, “Oh, sudah pandai sekarang ya?” “Guna singkatan-singkatan pula!” Jawabnya, “Mestilah, Chik dah... Abang sudah dewasa,” “Amboi! Bukan main lagi dia,”
Sekarang pabila ditanya “Abang nak jadi apa?” “Pemimpin agama yang berwibawa,” jawabnya “Pewaris kepimpinan negara,” tambahnya Jelas terpancar sifat kepimpinan moyang dalam dirinya
Anak saudara Chik Dah yang tercinta Setinggi mana harapan yang dibawa Jangan Abang lupa Amanah dari Allah yang Maha Esa Menjadi Khalifah-Nya yang berkualiti dan berguna Untuk Agama, bangsa dan Negara
Selamat ulang tahun buat A.Q.B.A! Ikhlas dari Chik Dah yang jauh di mata Tapi kita sentiasa dekat di hati jua.
Note:Baru ChikDah perasan, baju melayu Abang Qaiyum sejak kecil sampai besar kebanyakannya color purple. Nanti nak kahwin jangan pakai purple lah ek!... Hahaha
Kesibukan melanda. Update blog sekadar buat syarat. Banyak story yang nak simpan di sini, tapi masa tidak mengizinkan. Tambahan pula mood kerajinan juga tak konsisten. Asyik pasang surut saja.
By the way, wanna wish happy belated birthday to my dearly beloved sisters.

"I AM...” is a poem by Hamza Abdul Malik who is one of our young scholars. Hamza, has memorized the Qur’an in both Warsh and Hafs and has studied Arabic and Shari’ah in Syria, Yemen, and is currently studying in Egypt. He wrote this poem after his wife’s eighty-year old grandmother took Shahada!
I AM…
I am who I am because.. Allah made me who I am I am that dirty vagabond who sleeps in the alley, but if it wasn’t for my prayers… God would have punished the entire city, but since He loves me so, He shows them mercy and pity. So don’t step on me when you see me sleeping and don’t hold your nose up when you see me weeping, For if you saw what my tears mean on the Day of Judgment you wouldn’t be so fast in passing your baseless judgment.
I am that… Muslim stripper that everyone hates, who was “doomed to hell” or at least “at its gates” but one night after the club closed I was in the streets… and I saw a starving dog looking for something to eat, so I used up the last of my dollars and nickels, and I bought a hamburger and I took off the pickles, and I gave it to the dog… and even though he still looked the same little did I know that it was my fate that had changed Allah saw this deed I did that no one thought of so He gave me paradise just for me showing it so much love
I am that… Muslim who prays five salats a day, who stays in wudu to keep devils away, who goes to the masjid and smiles to everyone, who.. goes to itikaf with his daughters and sons but… eats the flesh of his sister’s and brothers and… fights his father and curses his mother… and doesn’t show mercy to his wife and his kids, so he… punches his wife right under the eyelids… and he beats his children as hard as he can cuz… that’s only way he can feel like a man… and Allah only gives him respite, so… he could repent from his sins and set his record right… but if he isn’t forgiven by his kids and his wife then… he’s got a world of pain coming to him in the next life…
I am that… Old woman eighty years of age whose… got so much wisdom they call her a sage and.. she lays on the bed and before she dies she… calls her granddaughter to come by her side… and she tells her she’s ready to die with Islam… so she tells her granddaughter, “go get the Quran..” and… she reads the verse “Tell those who disbelieved: if they stop, all their past will be forgiven.” and she stopped right there cuz her hands were shiverin’… and she realized that she could not die a “kaffa” so she… raised up her index and took her shahada… and her hand fell and she took a gasp… and that was the end because it was her last.. and her life was sealed by that last saying so… she went straight to Jenna without even praying…
I’m that.. orphan who never got a chance in his youth to.. share his talents and spit his truth… until he left the hood and went to the woods to… find seclusion and the essence of good… he was inspired by God and was taught how to read… but not in the way that we’d like to believe. He.. reads the hearts, the souls and the mind He… reads the heavens and reads its signs He… reads the lines and he reads the lips of.. the ancient prophets and the ancient scripts and he… teaches the people through actions and deeds.. and he carefully plants his wisdom in the hearts like seeds he teaches the lesson that we can all learn…
You Are a Petunia
You are a tried and trusted friend
who will be there for your friends when they need you.
But you have a tendency
to be nervous about doing things
that go against the norm.
