Drive Away vs. Drive Thru!

One and half month ago, I joined a two-days seminar on academic and entrepreneurship at UKM, Bangi. There was also an exhibition of Palestine held outside the hall. Something has attracted my eyes.. a car sticker, "McD..Drive Away" I just immediately grabbed it, put it on my car as soon as I came back home.

Stop eating McD, Stop killing Palestinians.
DRIVE AWAY!

I noticed that lot of people put the McD Drive Thru sticker on their car. And I wonder what's the benefit of putting it. I feel that those people have become silent ambassadors to McD by advertising it to everyone. It's not shocked if someone with less knowledge do that. In fact lot of our peole do not really know what actually happened to our Palestinians. But people like lecturers (that I consider as 'orang2 cerdik') or university staff who put that sticker on their cars, it embarrassing!

Do we get certain privileges at McD drive thru station if the sticker is there? Please let me know..I don't have any experience buying drive thru McD.

I'm not against those who really love eating McD, but again let us show our care and support to our Palestinian brothers and sisters. If you still can't leave it, you don't have to become the silent ambassadors to McD. This is the least we can do.

Our care and support to Palestinians are not seasonal.

It's just my personal opinion.

Final battle

It has been more than a month I’ve not posted anything here. Lucky that I still remember the password to log in;-). Hmm..so busy with exams, and the research as well, especially the most difficult part, the writing part. Alhamdulillah, I’ve just submitted my thesis last Tuesday. At last, I managed to produce it, after so many difficulties. It has been almost a year since I started my study in last July.

And guess what, my viva voce will be on this coming Monday (27 April 2009).. Yeah, so eager to finish all these, but somehow the fear of facing this final battle is there too. The external examiner will be coming from the Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok, and he’s an expert in environmental engineering. Well, that’s the path I have to pass through. Dear friends and everyone who reads this, please say this once deep in your heart.. “May Allah make it easy for Nazri, ameen”

I’m very thankful for the contribution that everyone has made, whether they’re close to me or they might be thousands miles away from me. The advocacy, advices and constructive critics have broadened my perspectives and offered a wider path for me to improve my work.

Wassalam.

We'll never forget that Palestine is our Land

"We must do everything to insure they (the Palestinians) never do return." Assuring his fellow Zionists that Palestinians will never come back to their homes. "The old will die and the young will forget."

[David Ben-Gurion, in his diary, 18 July 1948, quoted in Michael Bar Zohar's Ben-Gurion: the Armed Prophet, Prentice-Hall, 1967, p. 157]

----------

Hey, we're not the generations who easily forget what you've done to us. The robbery of our land, massacres of our brothers and sisters, blockade and denial of food, shelves, medicines and independent lives by Zionists will always be in our mind. And one day, sooner or later, we will return and the Palestine will be regained. It was our land, it is our land, it will always be our land.

FREE PALESTINE!

Wake up, my dear Muslims!

David Ben-Gurion, the 1st Prime Minister of Israel said:

"If I were an Arab leader, I would never sign an agreement with Israel. It is normal; we have taken their country. It is true God promised it to us, but how could that interest them? Our God is not theirs. There has been Anti-Semitism, the Nazis, Hitler, Auschwitz, but was that their fault? They see but one thing: we have come and we have stolen their country. Why would they accept that?"

[Quoted by Nahum Goldmann in Le Paraddoxe Juif (The Jewish Paradox)]

I support Hamas and all Palestinians for showing no fear against the Zionist. Obviously, the Zionist will never respect any agreement to stop the war. If they do, that means they have succeeded in establishing the Eretz Israel (greater Israel), and killing all Palestinians unless they resign to live as slaves.

Let us together defend the Palestine land to the last drop. Let us fight for the liberty of our Palestine like what Salahuddin Al-Ayyubi and his armies did before. But to surrender, we would never!

Fitnah SMS yang tak habis-habis

Muak dengan SMS seperti di bawah ni yg baru saja di 'forward' oleh seseorang.

"Allahhumma inni as aluqa tahhdy bihal qalbi watajmu bihal fitnati anni.. do'a Nabi Muhammad saw. Kirim ke 10 org Insyaallah 2 jam kemudian kamu akan mendengar khabar baik & mendapat kebahagiaan tetapi jika tidak menyebarkan maka kamu akan mendapat musibah besar demi Allah ini amanah dan jangan dihapuskan sebelum disebarkan." (disalin bulat-bulat drp SMS yg dihantar, tanpa sebarang pindaaan dibuat walaupun satu titik atau koma)

Jangan kita semua terpedaya dengan hal seperti ini. Malu kalau orang Islam yg buat begini. Langsung tak berfikir sebelum buat sesuatu.

Terfikir jugak, mungkin syarikat telekomunikasi yg memulakan SMS berangkai sebegini. Mereka yg tidak menggunakan akal terlebih dahulu sebelum bertindak sudah pasti akan menguntungkan syarikat tersebut. Yelah, kalau setiap orang forward kpd 10 orang yg lain, tak ke banyak tu?

Khutbah Jumaat yang hambar

Hari ni, 13 Februari 2009 - hari Jumaat.

Untuk kesekian kalinya, saya ke Masjid Pusat Islam, USM untuk solat Jumaat. Mungkin tidak berapa lama lagi, solat Jumaat tidak lagi diadakan di sini kerana Masjid Seri Ampangan yg berhampiran dengan USM telah pun mula beroperasi. Masjid tersebut bakal digunakan utk solat Jumaat.

Tertunggu-tunggu apa tajuk khutbah hari ni.. Bila khatib memulakan bicara, aduh..tajuknya "Makanan yg berzat..bla, bla, bla".

Terdetik di fikiran, apakah tiada lagi tajuk lain yg lebih penting dan perlu untuk disampaikan pd umat? Walhal, pelbagai isu penting dan besar yg timbul sekarang berkenaan umat Islam. Isu Palestin tidak pernah ada penghujungnya..mereka terus-terusan sengsara, dan selama itulah mereka terus berjuang mempertahankan bumi mereka.

Walhal umat Islam sedang kacau bilau, isu murtad, krisis identiti para muda-mudi, maksiat di sana sini berleluasa secara terbuka (bukannya menyerang hendap bilik hotel atau rumah orang yg perlu diutamakan), krisis politik, jenayah, dan sebagainya. Apakah semua ini cukup dengan sekadar satu dua khutbah?

Teringat satu ketika dulu, satu topik hangat dibincangkan dalam satu rancangan besar, Forum Perdana Ehwal Islam, iaitu "Buah-buahan tempatan". Kelakar, kan?

Khutbah yg hanya seminggu sekali seharusnya menjadi medium yg amat penting untuk menyampaikan maklumat dan nasihat kepada umat Islam, terutama golongan yg jarang menghadiri majlis ilmu, apatah lagi membaca bahan ilmiah dan isu umat Islam semasa.

Akhir sekali, memetik tulisan seorang tokoh ilmu terkenal di Malaysia, satu tamparan utk mereka yg terlibat dlm menyediakan teks khutbah.

"Saya kadang-kala membayangkan ‘mungkin penulis-penulis khutbah ini berada di suatu kawasan pergunungan yang terputus hubungan dengan umat, lalu diperintahkan pula mereka menulis khutbah. Dari sana mereka mengirimkan kepada sesiapa yang turun ke bawah untuk diposkan ke pejabat yang memerlukan khutbah-khutbah itu. Dengan pos biasa, barang kali sebulan kemudian khutbah itupun sampai. Pegawai yang asyik membaca akhbar dan minum kopi bersama kawan sehingga banyak kes talak tertangguh, membukanya lima hari kemudian. Untuk ditaip dan disampaikan ke masjid-masjid, barangkali mengambil masa lagi sebulan. Kalau pun ada sedikit isi khutbah yang menyentuh umat melalui khabar yang dibawa oleh angin ke gunung, barangkali yang sedikit itu sudah luput tarikhnya.."

Lebih baik tak bagitahu nama tokoh ini, sbb ada segolongan org kita yg tengok siapa yg berkata dulu sebelum menerima apa yg diperkatakan walaupun ia benar. Alahai..

"Perak new government".. and the Palestine tragedy

Well, should I congratulate the rakyat of Perak for the new BN government that has been formed after the 'jumping' event took place? Or should I join those who are now mourning for the collapse of the Pakatan Rakyat government in Perak? I guess the rakyat of Perak deserves to decide it, either to celebrate or to mourn for it, because it’s the rakyat who have chosen them to be the leaders during the previous election.

But as a Malaysian, the crisis has somewhat attracted my attention. Perhaps, there’re lessons to be learnt from what happened, for both contesting parties, and the rakyat as well. Regardless of political parties, I personally admire the “Ex-Chief Minister” of Perak, Dato’ Seri Ir. Mohamad Nizar Jamaludin for his good and professional character. He’s not only a great leader but was also a great engineer. Look here.

Newspapers, television, websites, and blogs are now focusing on this issue. I don’t deny that it’s an important issue, that people have the rights to know and realize the facts. It’s a national issue, the future of Malaysia. We’ll see what happens next. Who knows that there will be more dramatic scenes later.

Despite we’re busy with this political crisis here, let us not forget the never ending tragedy in Palestine. The Palestine crisis is not only for Palestinians or Arab people, but it’s the issue of the whole Muslims. The Holy Land of Palestine belongs to the ummah, and ummah have shed blood to defend it. The Zionist and their allies have never stopped, and will never stop their mission to rob the whole Palestine, and of course to conquer the world. In fact, they’re already conquering the world, by proxy. They will do whatever they want to achieve their mission.

Ahmad Fahmi's Wedding

Yesterday, we (me, Muiz, Anas, Deena & Hasanuddin) had a trip to Seremban, Negeri Sembilan to attend our friend's wedding reception there. It was a big day for Ahmad Fahmi and his wife, Siti Nursyazwani. Again, we'd like to extend our warmest congratulations to both of them. We pray that their marriage will last forever, live happily and being granted with cute babies soon, ameen..

The long journey has really exhausted us, but it was worth it. Lot of old friends have also attended the wedding. I would say that it was the wedding (that I attended) which has received the highest number of friends so far. Well, that's perhaps because of Fahmi's factor, for being one of the most significant characters while in UIA in terms of many things.

I was very happy to see friends whom I haven't seen for a while. At least, we had little time for the chit-chat, and updated the goings-on. Hope to see everyone again, insya Allah.

Palestin dan Konsert Rihanna

1. Tertarik dengan artikel tulisan Aditya Putra di mStar Online, Kebergantungan kita keterlaluan!, saya terpanggil utk menulis sesuatu di sini. Saya bersetuju dengan pendapat yg beliau lontarkan.

2. Palestin adalah tanah suci umat Islam, yg kini dalam tangan Zionist. Saudara seagama kita di sana dibunuh dan ditindas setiap hari. Seharusnya kitalah orang-orang Islam ini menunjukkan rasa sensitif yg lebih berbanding yg bukan beragama Islam.

3. Malah ada org bukan Islam menunjukkan rasa simpati dan sokongan mereka pd rakyat Palestin melebihi umat Islam sendiri, atas dasar perikemanusiaan.

4. Dan di kala keadaan di Palestin kini kian runcing, ada di kalangan kita yg masih leka dibuai mimpi. Terbaru, konsert Rihanna yg bakal diadakan pd 13 Februari ini di Kuala Lumpur.

5. Apa yg dapat saya perhatikan, setiap kali konsert artis barat mahu diadakan yg sememangnya tidak menyumbang ke arah kebaikan akhlak dan pembangunan jiwa serta minda, akan ada pihak yg merasa bertanggungjawab menentang penganjuran tersebut.. alhamdulillah.

6. Tapi tak kurang yg masih beria-ria mahu meneruskannya..lebih sedih bila org Melayu dan Islam sendiri yg bangkit mempertahankan konsert tersebut. Jarang saya lihat masyarakat bangsa lain yg bangun mempertahankannya.. kebanyakan bangsa kita, Melayu. Alahai..

7. Fikir-fikirkan.. kalaupun konsert tersebut akan tetap diadakan, janganlah kita bazirkan duit kita untuknya. Alangkah baik kiranya duit itu disalurkan ke tabung Bersamamu Palestin. Moga-moga ada kebaikan disebaliknya, ameen..

Wassalam.

Message to Israelis, Zionists

Excerpts of what Che Det wrote in his blog:

Hanan...

7. The atom bombs which killed 100,000 men, women, children and babies are the product of Israeli (Jewish) brain. Most of the diabolical weapons now being used to kill millions of people are also the creation of Israelis on Zionist Jews. The depleted uranium and phosphorous shells being used in Gaza are also the product of Israeli brains.

10. But worse of all is the seizure of Palestinian land to create the state of Israel. Not content with the area given to the Jews by the United Nations you have seized more Palestinian land, built settlements on many parts of Palestine, disallowed the use of roads built on Palestinian land to the Palestinians, erected your own check points at the borders of Palestine with Jordan and built your version of the Berlin Wall through Palestinian villages on land that is not part of Israel.

16. Hamas could only establish their Government in Gaza. But you blockaded Gaza, denying them food, medicine, power, fuel etc. If you had not done that I doubt that Hamas would fire rockets at you.

17. Malaysia is well aware that total boycott of Israel is not possible. We are in fact boycotting American products which is an even more impossible task. We would not be able to bring America or Israel down.

18. But what we aim to do is to demonstrate the disgust and the anger that we feel over the inhumanity of the brainy but primitive peoples of Israel and America.

19. You can collect Nobel prizes and other prizes but the world will look down upon you as very primitive people who robbed land through terror against perfidious British and subsequently used your control over the world's greatest military power to oppress the people whom you had robbed.

20. You have nothing to be proud of, unless of course you take pride in being heartless, in being primitive brutes.

21. The only mitigating factor is the presence among Israelis of a small number who are ashamed of what you have done to the people of Gaza.

A shameful war - Israel is the real terrorist

By the time the shooting stopped, more than 100 Palestinians had been killed for every Israeli who died. Was every death lawful? And, if not, where does the fault lie? Raymond Whitaker and Donald Macintyre report at the Independent, A shameful war: Israel in the dock over assault on Gaza. Let's spend few minutes to read and ponder it.


To all my brothers and sisters who still care about Palestine and Palestinians, let us keep helping and supporting them by whatever means that we're capable of. RM1 that we donate here might be a pain killer to our brothers and sisters in Palestine, or might be a bullet to kill the Zionist. Again, try not to buy the products that have been proven to support the Zionist. And the boycott should not last for only few weeks or months, but I would say till the death comes to us. We can certainly do it if we have the will and care about our brothers and sisters!
