Hye..
Seriously I'm not really in on doing this updating. Tomorrows the DRUG exam. I'm burst up reciting all those insanely named drugs. BTW, just want to share a non-profit movie made by some whacked up environmentalists screening up the world pollution. Its worth a watch to get some notes whats really happening to the earth. Someday it'll end up like the Wall-E earth. Perhaps. Anyway enjoy the movie. I'll be back after the exams. Hope so.
Wish me luck~

What about Medicine?

Have you ever wondered why Ibn Sina, a great scholar in the 10th century, during his age of 17 described medicine as "not difficult"? Absurd huh? we're claiming that this long 'journey to be a doctor' thing is hell difficult, and only the best among those in the past 2ry school results are able to carry such a subject. And yet its still remains one of most challenging branches of knowledge for such minds. Getting stuck in medical school for 6 years really makes us sick (plus 'you know what' about Egypt). So, how did Ibn Sina make it so simple?

There's no doubt that he is a complete genius. Mastering grand bits of knowledge as Muslim Jurisprudence, Philosophy Metaphysics, Astronomy, Medicine all at the same time. In fact, he's already a physician at the age of 18. Simple maths, he gained all that big chunk of knowledge in 1 single year~!. Can you believe that~ Not to mention, he wrote his first book at the age of 21. That is where me and my colleagues are right now. Kinda feel dumb huh~ compared to him.

Leaving all that, here's what I think about Medicine. To me, the real challenge of the world that I'm involved in right now and others, lies when we become a real doctor, in hospitals and treating patients. List all you can the hardships in your future carrier in being a doctor. Lets take the 2 years of housemanship for example.
1. as a freshman, you'll obviously be the chicken in the hospital. Moving here and then as if you're the only staff at work.
2. the sense of ego being graduated as a doctor drives you to feel that your powerful and feeling as the chief in charge, yet if you try to boast around, the nurse, especially the old and grumpy ones, will turn your back at you, and you will find that you're alone.
3. you show your anger to the nurses or other staff and to the patients, you'll be disrespected, and people will vow to leave you at the edge of the world. (so control your temper mate)
4. you'll be working around the clock day and night, the hospital will be your home sweet home by then.
5. being a Fish, you will have the highest chance of making mistakes, then being scold by senior doctors and nurses, getting smacked by patients and any heart-biting responses.
6. if your married, think about your wives and husbands, your kids
7. having a thought of quitting, maybe~(na3uzubillah).
and many more to be thought of~

You see how much you will face just in the first 2 years of carrier as a doctor. Those are just some that has been discussed with my friends in the last SC. So what about now, as a student. Why is there a feeling that learning all this medical stuff is so difficult whilst Ibn Sina said the opposite. To me, the main key to excel as a medical student is simply just hard work or in Malay 'rajin'. Squeeze your brain to list the techniques and methods of how to make a good study, but if you have the 'lazy disease', the lists just doesn't work and fades off.

Some people say that you need to make half of the hours in your day to be devoted to study and study and then more study. Congrats to those who have the sprit to do so, I really admire such people, but then at the end of the day, I think all you get is what you spent together with book. I'm not saying its bad, but where will be the diversity of knowledge and personality that you have to develop during your lifetime as a student to face whatever you'll facing in the future. Me, for instant, I just cannot stand to face a book for long periods, max. 1.5 hours or less. Then I'll go off doing something else. Better said than done huh? where goes my hard work thing? Well, the definition of hard work are sometimes specific and unique for each person. Me, I consider 1.5 hrs per session of study as 'rajin', bwahhaha~ but be smart

Another thing that I want to express about medicine. If you notice, medicine is a subject of language. Its like you learn languistic but in a medical pattern. Simply if you understand a sentence stating an issue as Type 1 diabetis, you'll surely understand about it. What makes medicine so difficult for us is that you got to remember a load of names as drugs, classifications of things, parasites, pathogens, diseases and more. How to remember those ocean and sick terms... = rajin la. No other option. That is why you don't need to be a genius to learn medicine. Even normal people out there can know medicine simply by Googling or ask Prof Wikipeida. So what makes us better than them? Were doctors to be, just put some effort in studying and memorizing stuffs, improve your reading and language skills, manage your time well and relationship with people, then all will go fine and by the will of Allah, InsyaAllah you'll get good marks in the exam. If you can't even face a simple challenge as a Medical Student, how do you hope to face them as a Doctor??
Good luck studying for exam.

[it's always about the exam-sigh~]

Who created evil if there is God?

Assalamualaikum..we meet again after again 2 weeks of absence.
Busy?, nope, just don't have the mood to update..
Anyway, this post will explain a trivial question that might have been playing in our minds since, i dunno, if your really start thinking about it, Why did ever god created evil?
The ideas written have been customized from a lecture given by Syakh Yasir Qahdi, an active daie in the States.
So lets begin...


The question rises like this, if there is a god who creates, then did this god
created evil, if He didnt't created it, who else created it? Or simply the question could be, did god create evil or not?

Every different religion has offered different responses to this question. In fact even within religions, we have various movements within Islam, within Christianity, within Judaism, within the Hindus that has tried to give response to the issue
Theodessy, or the question of god and evil. If there is a god, and f there is evil, what is the relationship between the two, a profound and deep question that cannot be explained by anybody or by simple words. This what Syaikh Yasir explained.

Muslims have a deeper and more profound response to this and that is as follows,

1. First and foremost, we as Muslim does not believe that there is anything that is pure evil and we do not believe in the existence of an ultimate evil. Everything that the God has created has some benefit and some good. Some things have nothing but benefit and good, but there is nothing that comes from God that is pure evil. Some of the matters that god reveals or sends down, for example the speech of god
or gods revelation, the messengers, they are good and pure in of themselves. The book of god is nothing but purity and good. No aspect of anything negative. Believing it is good, reciting it is good, worshiping god through it is
good, reading is good, everything about it is good.

2. Gods creation also usually have good and little bit of harm as well, but this harm is not an intended harm. It is a harm that comes about not because God created it to do harm, but because there a lot of good, and there is some harm also in there and the harm leads to good. The harm that is present in any aspect brings about good. For example, God says that drinking alcohol has some good to it, there is some positive, but there's also bad, and the bad outweighs the good. Even alcohol is not pure evil, there's some good that comes out of it. Of course Allah forbids us to drink alcohol.

In fact, even the creation of satan has some good. Satan in generality speaking is the embodiment of evil, but still there is some good out of it. Whats the good in there? Well the fact that you know that there is an enemy out there trying to harm you, trying to mislead you, it makes you concious, it puts your guards up. The fact that you will enter paradise by not obeying satan is good for you. It might not be good for the satan, but its good for you. So every element, of the creation is either pure good, or there is good and bad, and there is no such thing as pure evil.

3. Human will never be able to judge what evil is completely, especially in the actions of God around you. When somethings happens, tsunami wave happens, a thunderstorm happens, tremendous disaster, how it came? a tornado, earthquake. People will say, why did these evil happen to us? and the response is, in deed some evil came after that no body can deny it, but there is also good that comes out of it. What is the good that comes out of it? Mankind shows their true nature in their sympathy and mercy. They send money, they send food, they come together at times of distress and so on.
Its simple logic, if there were people who striving, how could you show your generosity? If was no evil, how could you show your good. So there has to be some negatives, in order for you to bring the positives.

4. There's another aspect as well, you can say okay fine you understand that when there is a tsunami wave, I can be generous to the people who are affected and so god
rewards me. How about the people who suffered at that wave? who lost a child,
somebody who lost their parents. How about them? The response is very simple. You are judging the negatives and the positives based on this world and your forgetting that there is something that is called the hereafter, and that is possible that the reward that the person gets in the hereafter for a problem that he or she suffers
is much more than if he did not suffer that problem at all.

In fact, if your patient, and you put your trust in god and you show your fortitude, your belief in god, believe that in the hereafter you would actually wanted more problems so that could of have showed more of your patience to get more reward. See the blessings of God, can you see how the god have rewarded you for your suffering. You would in fact wish, not in this world, because non of us wishes it, and thats natural, but in here after when its all gone and done, and you see the rewards of God, you would actually wish that, oh why wasn't I tested more so that I could be rewarded more.

5. A question, how many times have you done something, and you were so sure there was good in that thing, and then within a week a month, a year, you intergrated your decision, and oh man i've shouldn't have done that. I was a big mistake that I did it. How many times has it happen in your own daily life you thought something was good, and it turned out to be evil. Conversely as well, how many times that something happens to you, and you thought it bad, but then when in retrospect, in hind side, oh it was actually better that it would have happen. In other words, you know this in your own thoughtability, you know that in your own limited wisdom, when you experience your limited wisdom in your own daily life, why don't you just give up that wisdom to God, and say, you know what, God, you created me, gave me
everything that I have, you've taken me so far, I put my trust in you, and everything that happens, it happens for the best.

Nothing happens to you except that it is for your own good, wether you realize it or not, wether in this world or in the hereafter.

So to respond to the question in deep, everything of the world happens by the knowledge of the god and will of god , and god creates everything, we affirm that. But that doesn't mean that we ascribe evil to god. All that we say, that Allah created everything and portions of creation, some his creation has some good and bad, but even the evil in it, it leads to good, and it is necessary for evil to exist
in order to manifest the good. So leave it at that, and we put our trust in our judgement. We don't judge God. We say "oh Allah is the all wise, we know for our experiences, that our wisdom is limited"

In deed God knows what is best, and he is the most lovely and most merciful, and the
most wise. We leave that to him, and we say, Allah knows best. Why? everything that happens, it happens for a divine wisdom and decree. If you believe in god and you put your trust in him, and we have a firm commandment in the Quran, that everything that happens, happen for our own best, wether you realize it or not.

I hope that does answer the question in a very basic level. Of course there
is so much more we can say about it. This is the conclusion of this episode.

Thanx for reading till the end...:)

Young Papa~

Greetings oh reader~

Seems like its been a while since I've updated my blog, dunno what to post actually.
Well yesterday it happens that I've encountered a lecture given by Ust Ismail Kamus about marriage. It was in one of my friends WMP playlist I shared in my home local network, since all the musics in my laptop had to be deleted to give way to all the video making and designing things as they eat up a lot of space.

Back to be lecture, he said a jungle of things about marriage in the malay custom. Lots of hilarious jokes and stories, but thats not the issue. He was saying that when we were a child, marrying someone would be nonsense, like eeeiii, gelinya nak kawen....or wut ever. Though as we approach the 20's, everybody thinks of starting a of relationship and then later marriage. Its common and its a normal human instinct.

The problems lies when we see marriage as something like going to a dreampark or sunway lagoon or any other fun-like things. Its not like yayyy..i'm married, oh i'm so happy, and then what..?? Its great to get married and gain love and happiness, but its not a game were you buy a token and play in an arcade for one round, you get happy and then it ends..Instead, your couple will be beside you for rest of your life!! yeah your whole life. So the question rises, are you really prepared physically, mentally and spiritually...!! (it feels weird talking about this marriage stuff). Bottom line, it's what plays in our minds day and night.

Alright, to my post topic. Young Papa is one of the few Japanese drama series that i've watched and really enjoyed. In fact, I watched 2 times, which I think is a great achievement. Its a family-ship based drama where a young man (dun remember his name) marrying a women 10 years older than him and which is also a widow. As usual, in the beginning some conflicts, disagreements and eventually they did get married. Unfortunately and really unfortunate the girl died in a car accident. The result?? he had to raise her two girls and boys, the three children which she had with her former husband. As a common drama plot, each child had their own conflict to adapt with this new young papa. Finally they did it, but in the middle, the part where I really felt touched (thats why I loved the series), the 'real father' came home and wanted the children back. So, he tried to be good again with them, but it appears that all he wanted was the money left by the late mother. So the Young Papa, did something which ended by the father left with the money and the children crying sadly..isk..isk..isk.. I nearly cried. Dunno how to describe it dramatically, see for yourselves and you'll know how it feels like.

Honestly, watching these kind of dramas make me feel like wanna be a papa. And for that reason i've stopped watching such drama's of familyness-like either Japan or Korea to avoid such feelings....bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha...Focus on studies and building self-skills..cehhwaahhh~(terharu gile).

Moral of the story = DO YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES TO A PAPA??

The meaning of success...

salam

Post kali ni aku rase nak tulis dalam bahasa melayu, sebab aku rase engliah aku sangat teruk. Apapun macam yang tertulis dekat tajuk tu, apa yang aku rase tentang kejayaan ni. Idea ni lahir terus dari hati aku dan mungkin beberapa orang tidak akan setuju..hehe..

Apa yang aku rase tentang kejayaan. Macam biasa, naluri seorang manusia memang mencari-cari kepuasan dalam hidup. Ada yang rasa puas bila dapat duit banyak dan pangkat besar. Ada yang rasa puas bila dapat makan dengan sedap dan kenyang ataupun dapat bini yang sangat cun. Malah ade yang puas bila dia tengok kemusnahan, manusia mati dan sengsara dll. Bottom line, bergantung kepada apa matlamat yang seseorang letak dalam hidup diorang, kalau dapat dicapai, itulah kepuasan dalam hidup mereka.

Macam mana pulak dengan kita ni yang masih di peringkat 20-an. Mungkin ramai yang meletakkan matlamat2 yang tinggi. Sememangnya ramai di kalangan kita yang telah dididik and didedahkan dgn tarbiah di Mesir, mengidamkan utk menjadi bukan setakat doktor, tapi juga seorang daie. Melengkapkan diri dgn macam2 bekalan dgn al-quran, hadith, pepatah2 arab dsb. Orang kata, biar beza sikit graduan mesir nie dgn graduan dekat tempat2 lain. Maybe ade yang hanya nak focus jadi doktor biasa je atau develop skill2 laen mcm photography, photoshop, after effects and so on. Tapi dalam mengejar semua ni, kita kena ingat, jangan sampai yg dikejar tak dapat, yang dikendong berciciran.


Maka, semua ni mendatangkan satu persoalan, macamana kita nak maintain yang dikendong dalam masa yang sama mengejar yg dihadapan. Hmm..bagi saya jawapan mudah utk persoalan ni (i'm not a motivator or whatever equal to it), adalah meletakkn matlamat2 pendek yg sesuai dengan jangka masa atau time frame yg kita sedang berada. Sebagai contoh, mungkin kita banyak memikirkan mcamana nnt gaji doktor, naik or turun, nnt balik m'sia nak amek exam ke tak, kita graduan mesir kurg amali, dan macam2 'whining' yg lain. Tapi realitinya kita ni baru thn 2, thn 3 dsb. Peksa final year tak lepas lagi. So why not just focus on your studies and stop day dreaming about what's coming ahead. The time when you will face the future will come. Again, saya tak kata kita tak perlu fikir pasal masa depan, tapi yg lebih penting, work hard what's in your time frame.

Kalau kita peksa final, year, buat betul2 bagi dapat yg terbaik. Kalau tahun ni ada nak hafal 2 juzuk dalam K-Faz, habiskan. Kalau tahun ni rase nak buat Umrah, usahakan sampai jejak kat tanah haram. Dan byk lg contoh korang boleh fikir sendiri.

Balik kepada persoalan kejayaan tadi. Bagi saya, kejayaan ni sama ada betul2 kejayaan atas usaha, ataupun kejayaan yg dapat tu tak setimpal dengan usaha kita. Mungkin kita sangat bernasib baik and suka bila kita dapat kejayaan tu tak setimpal dengan usaha kita, tapi kita kena ingat, Allah sebenarnya nak uji kita, sejauh mana kita menjadi org bersyukur. Mereka yg mendapat kejayaan dengan usaha pun jgn lupa kejayaan tu juga dtg datang dari Allah.

Pendek kata jangan kita bangga sangat dengan achievement yg kita ada ataupun bangga sangat kejayaan org laen (jgn bakar2 le). Boleh kalau nak ambil iktibar atau mintak nasihat, malah sangat digalakkan, tapi tak perlu berlebih-lebih. Sebabnya boleh mekahirkan perasaan ujub dalam hati. Ujub ni satu penyakit hati yang sgt bahaya. Nak tau pasal ujub, tunggu post2 yg akan dtg. Setakat ni je kot, sila komen and kritik akalau tak puas hati, sekian :P. (jgn sangka aku marah2 ye, ba-ha-ha)

The Palestinian story: The rise of terrorism

While the world was celebrating the 2009 New Year holidays, we were once again attacked by those who forced us out of our lands. They rained bombs on our houses, killed us with tanks and left tons of explosives in our towns so that death never parts us.

By Anna Denise Aldis and Dex A. Eastman, Press TV
source: presstv

Death visits us on a daily basis only to confirm our contention that oppression thrives against our population. In a mixed world where a single invading soldier is valued more than the many civilians he kills, it is conceivable that we are seen as the terrorists.

But did us Palestinians ever live in peace? Have we always been the victim of their tanks and planes? When could the people of our ancient land breathe, live and die peacefully?

The turbulent history of our Palestine -- the fertile region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River -- starts with the rule of the prophets, the very men chosen to roam the earth and advocate coexistence and love between all its inhabitants.

Our land has been one of great symbolic significance for the adherents of three monotheistic religions -- Judaism, Christianity and Islam. The land of our forefathers hence changed hands several times during the course of history.

We lived in relative peace and harmony for many generations. Even though we were invaded by all sorts of powers, the people of our ancient land of Canaan had been able to rise to the challenge and live side by side despite our diversity.

Our Palestine was conquered by the Ottomans in the early years of the 16th century and became known as part of Bilad al-Sham or Greater Syria.


Among the many events that occurred at the time, there was a single statement of principle that reflects the overall push for co-existence of that era.

"From among the subjects, where I distinguish who is Muslim is at a mosque, who is Christian, in a church, and who is Jewish, in a synagogue. There is no difference between them on other days," said one of our Turk rulers.

So we the indigenous population of Palestine, the workers, artisans, women, merchants and the Bedouin lived side by side, not knowing what the colonialist powers had in store for us.

"The Palestinian peasant…energy and competence were an object of praise by visitors to Palestine from travelers, historians, tourists, and artists. [Furthermore] concrete indications prove that Palestine, before the Zionist invasion, flowed with resources and profits," Palestinian historian Abd al-Wahab al-Kayyali said of our situation.

The storm of oppression and hatred was however brewing in countries afar. A religious minority in Europe was being persecuted only for its belief in an Abrahamic faith. The majority tortured, gassed and killed many of them in cold blood.

A man from Hungary nevertheless had already provided a solution to the misery of the Jewish population of Europe. The father of political Zionism, Theodore Herzl, set the stage for the "chosen people" to "return" to the "promised land" which he claimed was "without a nation".

Understanding the hazards of Zionism and the centuries of misery that it would bring upon the region, our ruler Sultan Abdul Hamid II had shown his fierce objection as early as 1882. He told Herzl that he was "perfectly ready to permit the Jews to emigrate to his dominions, provided they became Ottoman subjects". He would, however, "not allow them to settle in Palestine".

The sultan knew that the "Jewish emigration may in the future result in the creation of a Jewish government."

But Herzl did not give up. He offered to free the empire of European debt in return for an Imperial Charter for the Colonization of Palestine by the Jewish people.

The sultan repulsed Herzl's efforts, finally sending a message warning Herzl "to take no further steps in this matter."

"I cannot alienate a single square foot of land, for it is not mine but my people's. My people fought for this land and fertilized it with their blood....Let the Jews keep their millions," the sultan said.

Despite the sultan's orders, a steady if small stream of Jewish immigrants managed through bribery and stealth to continue their invasion into our Palestine. Realizing the threat hanging over our population, we resented the Zionist assertion that Jews had a right to Palestine because they had once lived there two millennia earlier.

Nonetheless, the suspicions we harbored about the true intentions of the Zionists did not prompt us to change our fairly friendly attitude toward Zionists until 1908 when the Young Turk Revolution reversed the suspension of the Ottoman parliament by Sultan Abdul Hamid II, marking the onset of the Second Constitutional Era. The revolutionaries blamed the Sultan for the harried state of the empire.

As historian Neville J. Mandel writes, "By the eve of the Young Turk Revolution...it is clear that Arab anti-Zionism had not yet emerged."

Why would we want to revolt the immigrating Jews as they had promised to lead the Ottoman Empire to prosperity as their luggage contained money, intelligence and international connections?

But their private intentions proved to be far more hostile than the announced plan for our homeland. We, the natives of Palestine, were placed on the path of "deligimatization". We were portrayed as filthy and uncivilized people awaiting liberators.

They claimed to have come to modernize our land as it was, according to them, empty of civilized inhabitants and a land of peasants. Their plan was based on a Eurocentric assumption that all societies must proceed along a universal, linear path of development identical to that of the West.

By 1914, on the eve of World War I, there were about 604,000 of us Arabs and 85,000 Jews in Palestine, an increase of about 30,000 Jews in a decade.

Jewish immigrants flood the docks of a wharf in Haifa in 1929. In 1931, the number of Jews rose to 174,000 in comparison with the 837,000 Arabs who lived in Palestine.

It was then that terrorism rose against our nation and our peace was shattered. They killed us, tortured us, expelled us and terrorized us in the hope that they could deter us and claim the lands that were owned by us for generation after generation.

Most of us spending our days with the hope of living our life in peace, now suffer and die in refugee camps in Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon even though we have documents that put our name on the lands that currently house Zionists from around the world.

The colonialist Zionists cannot understand the meaning of resistance. And as an exiled Palestinian friend put it: There is a major difference between the Palestinian nation and the rest of the world.

Mudalala Akel, 86, holds the key to her home in Palestine. She has lived as a refugee in Gaza since her family was forced to leave their home in Palestine during the Nakba in 1948.

People around the world live inside the boundaries of their countries, but for us, the indigenous population of Palestine who have been either driven from our lands or have been internally displaced, the reality of life is different.

For us, it is the land of Palestine that lives in the hearts of men.

Banana Split~!!!

Bananas which are sold at least 3.50 pounds per kilo may be one of your favorite fruits and juices. They are source of fibers and potassium during constipation. They are the fruit of choice as gifts if you visit your friend or the sick ones(as far as I observe~). In anyways, bananas are a real deal. The post tittle this time does not have anything to do with what will be revealed below. However, speaking of which, have you ever wondered or even noticed why the banana fruit is tubular while the skin is square???


The answer is so simple. Just as humans have coccyx but without having a tail, and having ears without the ability to move them as cats, the same goes with bananas. Its because of the unique development of growth that Allah have created to show men how powerful and flawless He is. Allah states in the Qur'an;




And on the earth are signs for the certain [in faith] {20}. And in yourselves. Then will you not see? {21}. Surah Az-Zariyat

The signs of creation of how the universe is governed shows the perfection in the creation of the Almighty and that there is no such fault or flaw. Thus, the statement above acts as rule that scientist use to do research in whatever field and present it to human aiming to improve their lives. Such research that fails to prove a hypothesis, as the scientist of evolution, makes them reach a dead end each and every time. Why? because Darwin's theory is a baseless dogmatic fact that says human comes from apes which have evolve through time. If simply they have faith and believe in creation, evolutionist won't have to waste time and funds trying to prove what Darwin have said. Still the work on searching evidence of evolution is ongoing. On the other hand, scientist guided by faith in God will achieve success after success as they believe the complexity of laws and beings work in an harmonious way.

Back to our question above, why is the banana tubular? Banana skin is made from the four fused leaves of the epicarp - the outermost layer. If you you make a tubular container from four components, it will assume a square cross-section. The fruit inside most bananas is formed from three fused segments. Since the apexes of a square and a triangle don't line up, the banana can't grow into the corners of the peel. The gaps are filled instead by a fibrous layer, making the fruit tubular.

Can you imagine how it works? try taking a paper and do a research yourself. Triangles hardly fit squares!! Hmm...well, that concludes our story for this time. Buy a banana today and see for yourselves, perhaps you can find other miracles in any fruit you eat everyday. Believe, there is always a sign of Gods creation, it is only the matter of you to find and take benefit from it.

WallhuA'lam.

Valentine's Day: She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not

14th of February. A day that never misses loving couples throughout the world. Boxes of chocolates and roses exchange hands between each couple swaying in the winds of love, and of course it only happens once in a year where these so called couples 'show their love' to their pair. Realize it or not, it seems that those who celebrate Valentines Day are only into their couples a day annually. Many may not know why such a day exist in the calendar.

To couples, Valentine's Day might be a memorial day as where loves are confessed and gratitude are shown. On the other, those in the world of business, make profit from the chocolates and roses, and perhaps organizing fun parties and accommodations for couples to do their desires.


A glimpse of history regarding the Valentine's Day. Two version of stories exists.

1. In the most popular legend,Valentine's Day dated back to the year 269, 14th of February where a Saint named Valentine was executed by King Cladius II. Basically what St. Valentine did was approving marriage to couples at the time when King Cladius II stated a law where marriage to young men are forbidden. Cladius believed that doing this would make men a better soldier. Such an act during this Rome empire may affect its campaign conquering lands. Others say, St. Valentine helped prisoner's escape prison and at the same time introducing Christian to them. Thus he was killed for the raid and marked to as a savior of Christianity. Another legend says, the Valentine's Day originated from Lupercalia, a ritual of love during the Rome empire.

2. Some say that Valentine's Day was a day to remember the collapse of the Islamic Caliph in Andalusia, Spain in the year 1492. St. Valentine at that period may have been an important figure for the fall in Andalusia. Consequently, he was celebrated as a people's lover as he said the he had saved them from the cruel Islamic ruling.

Looking from the history in both versions, Islam has offered its own explanation in the Valentine's Day celebration. The Islamic teachings forbids Muslims to celebrate as the rituals and the freelancing relationship between men and women. Not to mention that the day has a historic value to the Rome empire and to the Christian world. This adds why Valentine's should not be a day in the Muslim calendar.

One may ask a question, why not just have Valentine's as a day of love? What's so wrong with it?. Islam has its own 'halal' way of celebrating loving couples which is through marriage. Valentine's day seems to lack the true nature of love in humans, as should, love has to be exalted upon couples every day, and of course married couples. Statistically, according to a Women Institute in Malaysia, cases of pregnancies resulting from adultery increases in late February and early March. Obviously its a result of sexual intercourse done in mid February which in turns to be Valentine's Day. Such a situation of babies without approved couples is a big problem for the Islamic society.

Here I state words from the Prophet Muhammad p.b.u.h. I can't find the translation in English, so here's what our Prophet said prohibiting Muslims not to follow acts in other religion,

“Barang siapa menyerupai sesuatu kaum, maka dia termasuk dalam golongan mereka”
(Riwayat Imam Abu Dawud, hadis no: 3512)

A verse in the Al-Quran,

Bagi tiap-tiap umat, Kami adakan satu syariat yang tertentu untuk mereka ikuti dan jalankan, maka janganlah ahli-ahli syariat yang lain membantahmu dalam urusan syariatmu; dan serulah (wahai Muhammad) umat manusia kepada agama tuhanmu, kerana sesungguhnya engkau adalah berada di atas jalan yang lurus. (surah al-Hajj: ayat 67)

Finally to young couples out there, just know that Valentine's Day celebration is Haram, and if you really want to show love to him or her, why just not engage into marriage, and enjoy the life of being moms and dads just some of our friends. Sheikh al-‘Utsaimin revealed these statements about Valentine's Day: “Celebrating Valentine's Day means celebrating and remebering St. Valentine, and without doubt that he is a non-believer. If so you don't mean to but just followings others doing it, that is not but he has done a big sin"

WallahuA'lam

Israeli Elections: For the Better Good or the Lesser Evil?

Israel's domestic politics have been thrown into turmoil with inconclusive election results. Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni's Kadima Party won 28 seats, just one more than Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party.

Both candidates are claiming victory.

Israel's politicians are an argumentative lot and a leader has seldom been elected outright to the 120-member parliament. But for once almost all Israeli politicians have agreed on something: that the country's election system just does not work.

Weeks of coalition negotiations are almost certain to follow during which Egyptian-led attempts to broker a truce between Israel and Hamas will be frozen. After all, what would be the point in Hamas inking a deal with Israel, if the incoming government moves to overturn it.


Political experts agree that the latest Israeli election results indicate an elaborate shift toward the hard line in the public mood. Rightwing and religious parties won a total of 65 seats, compared to 55 for center-left and Arab parties.

To make matters worse the final say in who will rule Israel might fall to extreme nationalist Avigdor Lieberman whose rightist Yisrael Beiteinu made four gains in the election to hold 15 seats. To give you a perspective here, Israel's Labor Party that ruled the country for decades only managed to win 13 seats.

Therefore the next government will be reluctant to talk peace with the Palestinians, and this will also spoil any chances of success for US President Obama's Mideast peace drive.

Israel's Shimon Perez is not a fan of Netanyahu. Perez has hinted in the past that he considers Netanyahu to possess too volatile a personality to govern with a steady hand, as it were!

Netanyahu wants to expand the illegal settlements. He believes talking peace with Palestinians is a complete waste of time and has vowed to crush the democratically elected Hamas government in Gaza.

Livni on the other hand, says she will continue peace talks with the acting Palestinian authority chief Mahmoud Abbas. But she is likely to allow Israeli settlement activity because she is not really a centrist at all. Livni was one of the advocates and main architects of Israel's 22-day onslaught against Gaza.

Mahmoud Abbas says he is willing to restart peace talks only if Israel commits to a settlement freeze. But realistically speaking, nobody really cares in Israel what Abbas says or indeed whether the man is willing to sit at the negotiating table.

Abbas is a nonentity in the game, the poor fellow!
In the end there is not that much between Livni and Netanyahu. The hardliners have always had the final say in Israeli politics, irrespective of which faction -the rightists, the centrists or the leftists- have been in government.

Israel has an agenda that it does not even attempt to hide anymore. Extremist Jews intend to create a homeland for the entire world Jewry in the Holy Lands. The problem is that the entire world's Jewry number in tens of millions and even if the whole Palestinian population is dislodged from its native homeland of Palestine, there will still not be enough land left to house the world's entire Jewish population.

And there are those who get pedantic with the above ballpark type of argument, but historical facts speak for themselves.

The Arab leaders allied to the West must be aware that their own territories are very much in danger of getting gobbled up. There is a time scale at play here. The main argument might well be to do with Palestine's fate right now, but in Israel's grand scheme of things the moment will arrive for creation of living space for more Jews arriving to claim their bit of the 'promised land.'

Therefore a negotiated settlement between Palestine and Israel is possibly the last thing on any Israeli leader's mind. The idea is instead to skillfully utilize the world media to demonize whoever stands in Israel's way and play for time until 'greater Israel' is a reality.

In domestic Israeli politics, whichever candidate deemed capable of getting away with murder while providing the grounds for stealing yet more Arab land is elected to head the government.

AlhamdulillahiRabbilAlameen, WassolatuwassalamAlaRasulillahiAnjamaeen, WaaleAhlihiWaSahbihiAjmaeen. Fot the first time ever, I think I'd really wanna post something in this 'webbery' and 'jungly' blog of mine. Nothing much for the first post though. Just want to put some videos that I've created throughout my life in Egypt. I'm still a newbie in this video making field, and I'm still following some tutorials to help me improve my skills. Credits to Andrew Kramer, from Videocopilot.net, who has made his tutorials very benificial to me and those who has encouraged me to slide into this videomaking thing.

Well hope you enjoy the posts and much as possible. Again, I'm still new in blogging, but I'll try my best to write things on whatever topics. Not to forget, hope this blog doesn't go as 'hangat-hangat tahi ayam', and I really have a feeling that it will go that way, hahaha. Finally, really hope for your support or any comments regarding me or this blog page to help me to make thing better. If things go not where it suppose to be, who knows what, Allah knows best, I'll consider to stop posting entries and writing. Mind my English, though I'try me best.
