MH370... Please Come Home Now...

 
Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah,

Lama benar penulis tak mengemaskini blog ini. Hampir setahun lebih. Mungkin tiada isu yang nak diutarakan.... Banyak sebenarnya nak tulis, cuma mungkin isunya tidak besar maka penulis biarkan sahaja blog yang lain nukilkan.

Cuma hari ini penulis terpanggil untuk memberi pandangan selepas menonton Malaysia Hari Ini siaran 13 Mac 2014. Tersentuh penulis dengan pandangan panel jemputan yang diundang membincangkan tentang integriti media/ media sosial terutamanya apabila kita berhadapan dengan krisis besar ini ( pencarian pesawat MH 370). Semoga Allah memudahkan usaha mencari dan menyelamat ini. Amen...

Tidak tahu di mana mahu dimulakan...

 **
 

Mari kita singkap kembali tragedi ini. Bermula pada 8 Mac 2014 hingga kini(9.40 am, 13 Mac 2014), ianya masih hilang... ghaib tanpa berita. Kita di sini masih menanti kepulangannya... Masih merindui kelibatnya.. masih menanti keajaiban untuk ia muncul dan semua menjadi penyudah yang baik...

Ada yang bertanya apa penulis rasa...

Erm... bagi penulis apa penulis rasa itu tidaklah sepenting mana.... Zahirnya penulis seperti majoriti rakyat Malaysia yang lain masih mengharapkan keajaiban...

Keajaiban yang mungkin ia mendarat di mana-mana tempat asing yang tidak berpenghuni, mendarat kerana kerosakan teknikal dan tidak dapat menghubungi kita disini... Atau mungkin termasuk ke dalam "terowong masa" dan ghaib sebentar sebelum nanti akan muncul kembali menceritakan pengalaman mereka. Atau mungkin dihijab oleh Allah di tempat lain dan akan kembali nanti... Itu yang kita harapkan.... Kita optimis...Kita mahu percaya bahawa mereka semua selamat...

 
**
 Kita masih tidak mahu mengikut gerak hati kita yang semakin lama semakin kuat untuk mengatakan mungkin "terhempas". Kita kalau boleh tak mahu untuk bersetuju dengan rasa jauh di sudut hati ini... Sebelum jumpa bukti kukuh.... kita masih ada harapan walaupun 0.01%. Tiada apa yang mustahil dengan izin Allah.. Itu kita percaya dan dengan kepercayaan itulah kita masih disini mengharap....
 **
 
Ok kita berbalik kepada reaksi dunia terhadap tragedi ini. Dunia yang penulis maksudkan termasuklah media, media sosial, penduduk  dan pemimpin dunia.

Pertama sekali penulis ingin mengucapkan jutaan terima kasih kepada semua yang terlibat dengan kerja-kerja mencari dan menyelamat ini. Ianya tugas yang bukan mudah. Lebih 12 negara perlu diselaraskan. Ratusan mungkin ribuan sukarelwan untuk diarah malah jutaan manusia untuk dipenuhi hati mereka....

Ya jutaan manusia perlu dipuaskan hati mereka.... Mereka inilah yang penulis ingin tumpukan dalam penulisan ini. Mereka yang kita panggil "keyboard warriors" / media sosial dan penduduk dunia amnya. Dan setiap seorang dari mereka ini Allah kurniakan satu akal, dua tangan dan satu mulut. Mereka bebas untuk menulis dan berkata-kata. Namun dalam Islam kebebasan ini Allah bataskan dengan syariat. Bumi ini bukan hak milik kita untuk kita bebas membuat apa sahaja. Kita tidak bebas untuk merogol anak orang, kita tidak bebas untuk mengambil hak orang, kita tidak bebas untuk mengambil nyawa orang  malahan kita juga tidak bebas untuk menilai orang... kerana nilaian kita sebagai manusia yang lemah sering kali tersasar dari realiti sebenarnya. Siapalah kita untuk menilai orang lain sedangkan kita sendiri jauh dari sifat sempurna.

Semenjak trajedi ini berlaku, setiap hari penulis akan 'on' Awani dan internet untuk mengetahui perkembangan terbaru. Penulis nak dengar dari sumber yang benar dan sahih kerana kalau di internet ni dari hari pertama lagi sudah banyak berita antarabangsa yang cakap 'confirm crash' siap cakap  dah ada jumpa kapal terhempas. Siap ada youtube lagi dengan gambar dan video.... Ish-ish... Hairan melihat manusia-manusia ini. Hati mereka sakit....

Tidak kurang juga yang menghentam, komen negatif, itu salah ini salah, dia lembab buat kerja, dia tak jujur bagi maklumat dan sebagainya. Penulis nak cakap satu ajer pada orang macam ini. "Ko hebat sangatkan, ko pergilah buat". Kita yang tak buat kerja ni, dok dalam air-cond komen itu tak betul ini tak betul, huh semua orang boleh buat. Cuba ko sendiri pergi ketuai SAR ni. Jangan hanya jadi NATO ( No action talk only) huh... kesian... Kalau tak ada benda baik nak cakap/tulis lebih baik diam...

Ko ingat benda ni senang? Jumpa benda terus bagitau media, jumpa barang terus bagitau media... bukan macamtu. Dia ada prosedur yang perlu diikut. Banyak  'stakeholder' yang perlu diberi perhatian. Banyak hati yang perlu dijaga. Dan paling kesian jika benda-benda negatif ini keluar dari seorang warganegara Malaysia sendiri. Kesian. Pada saat macam ni ko tau nak bangkang ajer... Sepatutnya bersatu, bantu dari segi moral, ini lagi buat orang sedih...

Media asing tak payah hirau la.... bukan mereka ada kepentingan. Dari awal lagi memang dah banyak berita palsu dari mereka keluar. Diorang bukan ada kepentingan apa-apa. Yang kena hentam kita, yang kena tanggapan negatif kita, tak da kaitan dengan diorang.

Siap dalam kita tengah sibuk mencari MH370 ini, hai ada pulak 2 perempuan ni bagi gambar co-pilot, Fariq tengah bergambar dalam kokpit dengan diorang. Hai kenapa sekarang baru nak keluarkan. Kenapa dulu ko tak nak keluarkan. Ko tak fikir ke keluarga dia tengah sedih ke apa? ko tak sensitive ke? kalo tu abang ko ... ko tahu sedihkan. Memang jenis " mencapab" kot (mencari publisiti). Kesian... giler glamour....

Bagi aku gambar tu sikit pun tak bawa apa-apa maksud. Memangla salah  bawa masuk orang luar dalam kokpit. Tapi bagi aku kalau pompuan tu tak gatal mintak nak tengok kokpit aku rasa tak timbul isu ni. Sadis.... . Cuba ko cek diorang  punya pilot (Amerika/ Australia/ dll yang 'konon'nya bagus). Silap-silap lebih dari itu jumpa. Dan kalau nak cari kesalahan dan aib orang, 1001 aib kita boleh jumpa. Kita sendiri pun penuh dengan aib cuma kita rasa kita ok sebab Allah tutup aib kita dari pengetahuan orang...

Penulisan ini bukan untuk mengaibkan sesiapa. Hanya pandangan. Marilah kita bersatu. Biar orang luar pandang rendah kita... itu kerana mereka cemburu... reputasi kita bersih... CIA dok ulang terrorist. Cukup-cukuplah tu... Tumpukan pada pencarian pesawat ni.... Lepas tu nak kaji ke nak hapa silakan...Jangan jadikan tragedi ini alasan kepada agenda lain..... Sbb kalau baca CNN dll takde kisah lain sumer pasal terrorist.. Adoi... Terima kasih sebab bantu cuma janganla melebih-lebih... please...

Buat rakyat Malaysia bersatulah... berdirilah di belakang negara kita... Doalah yang terbaik untuk pesawat MH370.
 
**
Buat 'keyboard warrior"/ media beretikalah dalam menulis. Bayangkan isteri/suami/ibu/ayah kita dalam pesawat tu. Jika tiada apa yang baik untuk ditulis maka diam itu lebih baik.

Buat keluarga mangsa... Kami disini sentiasa mendoakan keselamatan semua yang berada dalam pesawat MH370. Kami juga rasa kesedihan itu... rindu itu... resah itu... walau tak sehebat kalian... Kalian sedang diuji Allah... Kalian insan terpilih... Penulis takut untuk terlalu banyak bercakap... bimbang diri sendiri tak sekuat mana...
 **
 Buat Malaysia... Kami berdiri di belakang kamu... Buatlah sehabis baik dalam usaha pencarian ini. Doa kami mengiringi kalian... InsyaAllah ada ganjaran yang menanti diatas keikhlasan, kesusahan, yang kalian rasai sepanjang proses ini...

 **

Buat pesawat MH370... Please come back... Kami semua menunggu kamu.... Di mana kamu? Semua orang di sini rindu... Its been too long to be out there ....alone... Please come back....Please.... Come..... Back...

Subhanallah... Sujud Syukur Di Tepi Jalan Di Atas Kemenangan Ikhwanul Muslimin.....

 ** Sumber diambil dari Harakahdaily.net   http://bm.harakahdaily.net/index.php/berita-utama/11286--subhanallahsujud-syukur-di-lebuhraya

Semoga umat Islam di Malaysia juga mempunyai semangat cintakan Islam seperti mereka... Merasakan kemenangan mereka(ikhwanul muslimin) sebagai kemenangan kita bersama.... Allahuakbar.....


KUALA LUMPUR: Sebaik menerima berita kemenangan Dr. Mohamed Mursi (Presiden baru Mesir), mereka memberhentikan kereta lantas sujud tanda syukur di atas anugerah Allah.

Menurut seorang Imam yang baru pulang dari Mesir, beliau melihat dengan mata kepala sendiri bagaimana lebuhraya yang beliau lalui dari ibu kota ke lapangan terbang Kaherah penuh dengan kereta berhenti.

Dan mereka berhenti bukan untuk membuang air kecil tetapi sujud syukur atas pengesahan kemenangan Dr Mohamed Morsi sebagai Presiden baru Mesir.

"Ikhwanul Muslimin menang pilihan raya ini selepas 40 tahun berdakwah untuk menyedarkan rakyat Mesir kepentingan politik dalam Islam," kata beliau kepada Harakahdaily.

Imam ini meninggalkan rumahnya kira-kira jam 1 tengahari menuju lapangan terbang walaupun penerbangannya dari Kaherah ke Kuala Lumpur hanya pada jam 11 malam.

"Namun kerana bimbang jalan jam, saya keluar awal. Bila sampai tengah jalan dalam jam 3.15 waktu Mesir, saya lihat banyak kereta berhenti dan penumpang serta pemandunya sujud di atas jalan raya itu.

"Barulah saya sedar, mereka membuat sujud syukur atas kemenangan Dr Mursi secara rasmi," katanya


Dr Mursi diumumkan menang pilihan raya presiden Mesir kira-kira jam 10.30 malam waktu Malaysia Ahad lepas.

Kemenangan beliau diisytiharkan secara rasmi selepas seminggu pilihan raya itu selesai.

Kira-kira sejuta penyokong beliau berkumpul di Dataran Tahrir berkumpul bagi memastikan Suruhanjaya Pilihan Raya Mesir mengumumkan Morsi sebagai pemenang kerana kiraan yang dibuat oleh Ikhwan sudah menunjukkan Morsi menang.

TV Al-Hijrah

Pada awal November 2010 yang lalu JAKIM telah melancarkan satu saluran TV Islamik; TV al-Hijrah. Saluran ini telah mula bersiaran di enam negeri di Malaysia ; Lembah Klang, Terengganu, Johor, Pahang, Sabah dan Sarawak termasuk Astro (ch 114). Untuk frekuensi setiap kawasan boleh layari http://www.tvalhijrah.com/




Sekalung penghargaan dan tahniah penulis kepada semua krew dan kakitangan tvalhijrah dan mereka yang telah mencadangkan penubuhan saluran Islamik ini. Kami rakyat Malaysia amat dahagakan rancangan-rancangan yang bermanfaat.





Jika kita sama-sama menyusuri setiap saluran percuma di Malaysia ini boleh dikira rancangan yang bermanfaat. Kebanyakannya dibanjiri dengan rancangan berbentuk hiburan tak kira drama, lawak bodoh, pertandingan nyanyian baik dewasa mahupun kanak-kanak, rancangan yang memperbodohkan masyarakat (cth: Bang Bang Boom). Apa manfaat semua rancangan ini? Kadang sampai dah tak tertelan dengan hiburan yang melampau ini.





Di dalam saluran tv al-Hijrah ini penulis mendapati banyak rancangan yang menarik dan pada masa yang sama menambahkan ilmu. Antara rancangan kegemaran penulis adalah Man Kana Bainana, Dr Oz Show, Menu Alam ok jugak.





Man Kana Bainana adalah sebuah rancangan berbentuk 'candid camera' di Mesir. Rancangan ini adalah berkenaan dengan apa yang akan berlaku jika Nabi masih bersama kita sekarang. Adakah perlakuan dan tingkah laku kita akan sama seperti mana yang sering kita lakukan seharian.





Minggu lepas rancangan itu menerjah mereka yang 'double parking' walaupun hanya kerana hendak solat jemaah sehinggakan kereta yang lain terpaksa menunggu mereka sebelum dapat keluar dari masjid selepas selesai solat. Adakah Nabi SAW akan berbuat demikian? Mereka bertanya kepada tuan punya kereta dan memberikan sedikit tazkirah berkenaan Nabi dan menghadiahkan buku berkenaan sifat Nabi. Subhanallah.





Rancangan yang menusuk jiwa. Kadang-kadang tanpa peringatan seperti ini kita lupakan baginda. Lupakan tentang akhlak mulia baginda...





Sebelum akhir rancangan hos telah secara rawak menemubual seorang pakcik di Mesir. Hos bertanya" Apakah yang anda ingin katakan jika Nabi sedang berada di hadapan anda sekarang?". Dengan mata yang mula berkaca pakcik itu menjawab " Wahai Kekaksihku ya Rasulullah......" namun kata-katanya kelu dan tersekat di situ... Air matanya mengalir laju... Lantas dia memeluk hos tadi....





Pernah tak kita mencerca bangsa Arab? tak bersatu lah, pentingkan diri lah. Tapi kita patut memandang mereka ini menggunakan mata hati. Pasti ada keistimewaan pada bangsa ini. Masakan tidak kerana Allah memilih sebaik-baik manusia dari kalangan mereka. Allah Maha Mengetahui. Bila penulis merenung kembali bangsa ini, banyak yang boleh kita belajar dari mereka.





1)Solat


Bangsa Arab yang beragama Islam ini kebanyakkannya sangat menjaga solat. Bukan sahaja menjaga solat malah solat berjemaah di setiap waktu dan di awal waktu. sebab tu kalau kita pergi ke negara mereka contoh Mesir dan Arab Saudi, masjid penuh setiap waktu walaupun masjid berdekatan antara satu sama lain. Dan melalui pengalaman penulis sendiri di USM bangsa Arablah yang ramai apabila solat fardhu di masjid.





2) Ukhwah dan menyebarkan salam


Ini satu lagi kelebihan bangsa Arab. Kalau bertemu sesama mereka ukhwah tu nampak rapat dan budaya menyebarkan salam ini hidup di kalangan mereka terutamanya bila kita pergi ke negara mereka. Kita terasa ukhwah itu....





3)Bangga dengan Islam


Kalau sesiapa pernah menonton rancangan "Lau kana bainana" akan faham, cara mereka menjawab soalan itu entahlah.... payah nak penulis huraikan tapi jelas menunjukkan mereka bangga menjadi Islam. Suatu ketika hos bertanya kepada pemandu yang double parking.Pemandu 1 (double parking), Pemandu 2(tuan punya kereta yang di halang oleh pemandu 1).





Hos: Adakah Nabi akan buat begini jika baginda hendak solat berjemaah?


Pemandu 1: Tidak... Mustahil...


Hos bertanya kepada pemandu 2



Hos: Apakah perasaan anda apabila kereta anda dihalang dan terpaksa menunggu lama?


Pemandu 2: (Senyum) Semoga Allah mengampunkannya...


Pemandu 1: Astarghfirullahalazim... Ampunkan aku ya Allah...





Dan semuanya berakhir dengan baik... berpelukan dan bersalaman... Subhanallah... Indahnya Islam itukan....


Di bawah ini penulis sertakan montaj bagi rancangan "Lau Kana Bainana"- Andainya Rasulullah bersama kita....









Mari sama-sama kita muhasabah diri... Adakah kita bangga menjadi seorang Islam? Atau rasa diri ni kecil sangat bila jadi Muslim? Simptom Malu menjadi Muslim.... Malu memakai tudung... Malu menutup aurat.... nanti takut orang kata tak moden. tak ikut peredaran zaman....



Dan di Malaysia ini penulis boleh rasakan ada simptom Malu kalau cakap bahasa Melayu... Siapa yang perlu dipersalahkan? Mengapa setelah kebanyakan orang Melayu sudah merojakkan bahasa Melayu dengan Inggeris baru kita nak mertabatkan bahasa Melayu?? Mengapa bila bahasa Inggeris seperti telah menjadi bahasa pengantara di Malaysia baru kita nak suruh orang menggunakan bahasa Melayu...



Cuba kita perhatikan kalau dulu cina, india atau melayu kalau bersembang mereka akan cakap bahasa Melayu tapi awal tahun 2000 penulis tengok semua cakap bahasa rojak dan bahasa Inggeris... kadang antara Melayu sendiri macamtu... Pelikkan.....





Mari kita tengok orang Jerman, Korea, Jepun, kadang bila sidang akhbar dia cakap bahasa dia. Kitalah kena ada penterjemah.Dia peduli apa kita tak faham.Ahmadinejad, Messi, pasukan bola Korea... banyak lagi negara... Tapi kita.... malukan nak cakap Bahasa Melayu... nanti orang kata tak tau cakap inggeris tak moden... orang kampung.... hehehhe





Kesian orang Melayu.... Fikir-fikirlah.... CU Muah.... :)

P.S: Rancangan "Lau Kana Bainana" bersiaran setiap hari Ahad jam 9 malam. Dr Oz Show jam 10.30 malam hari yang sama. chow chin chau ;)

Love and Life



A nice story that can make us realise how grateful to have our husband / wife in life... LOVE is not only about what you always express to your love one, but its actually about peace in marriage and responsibility....


cahayasufi

___________________________________________


Source : Email (If anyone knows who is the writer of this story please inform me ASAP. TQ)


This story tells us something about LOVE & LIFE.


My husband is Software Engineer by profession, I love him for his steady nature and I love the warm feeling when I lean against his broad shoulders.


Two years of courtship and now, five years into marriage, I would have to admit, that I am getting tired of it. The reasons of me loving him before, has now transformed into the cause of all my restlessness.


I am a sentimental woman and extremely sensitive when it comes to a relationship and my feelings. I yearn for the romantic moments, like a little girl yearning for candy. My husband is my complete opposite; his lack of sensitivity, and the inability of bringing romantic moments into our marriage has disheartened me about LOVE.


One day, I finally decided to tell him my decision, that I wanted a divorce..

'Why?' he asked, shocked.


'I am tired. There are no reasons for everything in the world!' I answered.


He kept silent the whole night, seemingly in deep thought. My feeling of disappointment only increased. Here was a man who was not able to even express his predicament, so what else could I expect from him?


And finally he asked me: 'What can I do to change your mind?'


Somebody said it right... It's hard to change a person's personality, and I guess, I have started losing faith in him.


Looking deep into his eyes I slowly answered: 'Here is the question. If you can answer and convince my heart, I will change my mind.


Let's say, I want a flower located on the face of a mountain cliff, and we both are sure that picking the flower will cause your death. Will you do it for me?'


He said: 'I will give you your answer tomorrow.... ' My hopes just sank by listening to his response.


I woke up the next morning to find him gone, and saw a piece of paper with his scratchy handwriting underneath a milk glass, on the dining table near the front door, that goes....


My dear, 'I would not pick that flower for you, but....please allow me to explain the reasons further.....


This first line was already breaking my heart. I continued reading.


'When you use the computer you always mess up the Software programs, and you cry in front of the screen. I have to save my fingers so that I can help to restore the programs.


You always leave the house keys behind, thus I have to save my legs to rush home to open the door for you.


You love travelling but always lose your way in a new city . I have to save my eyes to show you the way.


You always have the cramps whenever your 'good friend' approaches every month. I have to save my palms so that I can calm the cramps in your tummy.


You like to stay indoors, and I worry that you will be infected by infantile autism. I have to save my mouth to tell you jokes and stories to cure your boredom.


You always stare at the computer, and that will do nothing good for your eyes. I have to save my eyes so that when we grow old, I can help to clip your nails and help to remove those annoying white hairs. So I can also hold your hand while strolling down the beach, as you enjoy the sunshine and the beautiful sand...and tell you the colour of flowers, just like the colour of the glow on your young face...


Thus, my dear, unless I am sure that there is someone who loves you more than I do... I could not pick that flower yet, and die ...






' My tears fell on the letter, and blurred the ink of his handwriting. .. and as I continue on reading... 'Now, that you have finished reading my answer, and if you are satisfied, please open the front door for I am standing outside bringing your favourite bread and fresh milk...



I rushed to pull open the door, and saw his anxious face, clutching tightly with his hands, the milk bottle and loaf of bread....Now I am very sure that no one will ever love me as much as he does, and I have decided to leave the flower alone...


That's LIFE, and LOVE. When one is surrounded by love, the feeling of excitement fades away, and one tends to ignore the true love that lies in between the peace and dullness.


Love shows up in all forms; even in very small and cheeky forms. It has never been a model. It could be the dullest and most boring form ...


Flowers, and romantic moments are only used and appear on the surface of the relationship. Under all this, the pillar of true love stands... AND THAT'S LIFE


BY FULLFILL YOUR RESPONSIBLE AS A WIFE / HUSBAND IS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE WAY TO SHOW LOVE...


THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS 'BE GRATEFUL WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.'

A Very Beautiful Advice

By : Anonymous ( from hidayahnet@yahoogroups.com)

A simple man tells how his booking an air ticket for his father, his first flight, brought emotions and made him realize that how much we all take for granted when it comes to our parents.

My parents left for our native place on Thursday and we went to the airport to see them off. In fact, my father had never traveled by air before, so I just took this opportunity to make him experience the same. In spite of being asked to book tickets by train, I got them tickets on lufthansa.

The moment I handed over the tickets to him, he was surprised to see that I had booked them by air. The excitement was very apparent on his face, waiting for the time of travel. Just like a school boy, he waspreparing himself on that day and we all went to the airport, rightfrom using the trolley for his luggage, the baggage check-in and asking for window seat and waiting restlessly for the security check-in to happen.

He was thoroughly enjoying himself and I, too, was overcome with joy watching him experience all these things.

As they were about to go in for the security check-in, he walked up to me with tears in his eyes and thanked me. He became very emotional andit was not as if I had done something great but the fact that this meant a great deal to him.

When he said thanks, I told him there was no need to thank me.

But later, thinking about the entire incident, I looked back at my life.

As a child how many dreams our parents have made come true. Without understanding the financial situation, we ask for football, dresses, toys, outings, etc. Irrespective of their affordability, they have satisfied to all our needs. Did we ever think about the sacrifices they had to make to accommodate many of our wishes?

Did we ever say thanks for all that they have done for us?

Same way, today when it comes to our children, we always think that we should put them in a good school. Regardless of the amount of donation, we will ensure that we will have to give the child the best, theme parks, toys, etc. But we tend to forget that our parents have sacrificed a lot for our sake to see us happy, so it is our responsibility to ensure that their dreams are realized and what they failed to see when they were young, it is our responsibility to ensure that they experience all those and their life is complete.

Many times, when my parents had asked me some questions, I have actually answered back without patience. When my daughter asks me something, I have been very polite in answering. Now I realize how they would have felt at those moments.

Let us realize that old age is a second childhood and just as we take care of our children,the same attention and same care need to be given to our parents and elders.Rather than my dad saying thank you to me, I would want to say sorry for making him wait so long for this small dream. I do realize how much he has sacrificed for my sake and I will do my best to give the best possible attention to all their wishes. Just because they are old does not mean that they will have to give up everything and keep sacrificing for their grandchildren also. They have wishes, too.

Take care of your parents...apprecite their presence...

Pointers on Choosing Marriage Partners

By Rabi'ah Hakeem

We may list a few essential points to be considered by both brothers and sisters in the process of choosing a partner in life (although the masculine pronoun has been used throughout for the sake of simplicity, the following is generally equally applicable to both men and women).

1. Du'a. Unceasingly ask help and guidance from Allah, Most High, in the matter of finding and choosing a mate. As often as you feel it necessary, pray Salaah al-Istikhara, Islam's special prayer for guidance, in order to reach a suitable decision.

2. Consult your heart. Listen to what your inner voice, the 'radar' which Allah has given you to guide you, tells you about the prospective partner. It is likely to be more correct than your mind, which often plays tricks and can rationalise almost anything. For many people, first impressions are often the most accurate.

3. Enquire. Find out the reason why this man wants to marry you. Is he interested in you as an individual or will just any person do? Why is he not doing the logical thing, that is, to marry someone from his culture? If there is evidence that the primary reason for this marriage, despite claims to the contrary, is for convenience (greencard, money, property, etc.), forget it. This spells trouble.

4. Get to know your prospective partner, within the limits of what is permissible in Islam, before deciding on marriage. Just 'seeing' someone once or twice in the company of others, who may be anxious for this marriage to take place, is simply not enough under today's conditions, where two per- sons of totally dis-similar backgrounds are meeting each other without the safeguards of families. Without violating Islam's prohibition about being alone, try to understand his nature, what makes him tick, his temperament, what he might be like to live with.

5. Talk to several people who know your prospective partner, not just one, or have someone whom you can trust do this for you. Ask about him from various people, not just from his friends because they may conceal facts to do him a favour. And ask not only about his background, career, Islamicity, etc., but about such crucial matters as whether he gets angry easily; what he does when he is 'mad'; whether he is patient, polite, considerate; how he gets along with people; how he relates to the opposite sex; what sort of relationship he has with his mother and father; whether he is fond of children; what his personal habits are, etc. And find out about his plans for the future from people who know him. Do they coincide with what he has told you? Go into as much detail as possible. Check out his plans for the future - where you will live and what your lifestyle will be, his attitudes toward money and possessions and the like. If you can't get answers to such crucial questions from people who know him, ask him yourself and try to make sure he is not just saying what he knows you want to hear. Too many people will make all kinds of promises before marriages in order to secure the partner they want but afterwards forget that they ever made them, (this naturally applies equally to women as to men).

6. Find out about his family, his relations with his parents, brothers and sisters. What will his obligations be to them in the future? How will this affect where and under what conditions you will live? What are the character and temperament of each of his parents? Will they live with you or you with them? And are they pleased with his prospective marriage to you or not? Although it may not be the case in most Western marriages, among Muslims such issues are often crucial to the success or failure of a marriage, and answers to these questions need to be satisfactory to ensure a peaceful married life.

7. Understand each other's expectations. Try to get a sense of your prospective partner's under- standing of the marriage relationship, how he will behave in various situations, and what he wants of you as his spouse. These are issues which should be discussed clearly and unambiguously as the negotiations progress, not left to become sources of disharmony after the marriage because they were never brought up beforehand. If you are too shy to ask certain questions, have a person you trust do it for you. At an advanced stage of the negotiations, such a discussion should include such matters as birth control, when children are to be expected, how they are to be raised, how he feels about helping with housework and with the children's upbringing, whether or not you may go to school or work, relations with his family and yours, and other vital issues.

8. See him interacting with others in various situations. The more varied conditions under which you are able to observe your prospective partner, the more clues you will have as to his mode of dealing with people and circumstances.

9. Find out what his understanding of Islam is and whether it is compatible with your own. This is a very important matter. Is he expecting you to do many things which you have not done up to this point? If he emphasises " Haraams", especially if you are a new Muslimah, and seems unable to tolerate your viewpoint, chances are your marriage will be in trouble unless you are flexible enough to accommodate yourself to his point of view and possibly a very restrictive lifestyle. Let him spell out to you clearly how he intends to practise Islam and how he wants you to practise it as his wife so there will be no misunderstandings later.

10. Don't be in a hurry. So many marriages have broken because the partners are in such haste that they don't take time to make such vital checks as the ones outlined above and rush into things. Shocking as it may seem, marriages between Muslims which are contracted and then broken within a week or a month or a year have become common place occurrences among us. Don't add yourself to the list of marriage casualties because you couldn't take time or were too desperate for marriage to find out about or get to know the person with whom you plan to spend the rest of your life.

11. Ask yourself, Do I want this man/woman to be the father/mother of my children? If it doesn't feel just right to you, think it over again. Remember, marriage is not just for today or tomorrow but for life, and for the primary purpose of building a family. If the person in question doesn't seem like the sort who would make a good parent, you are likely to find yourself struggling to raise your children without any help from him or her - or even with negative input - in the future.

12. Never allow yourself to be pressured or talked into a marriage. Your heart must feel good about it, not someone else's. Again, allegations of "Islamicity" - he is pious, has a beard, frequents the Masjid, knows about Islam; she wears Hijab, does not talk to men - are not necessarily guarantees of a good partner for you or of a good marriage, but are only a part of a total picture. If an individual practises the Sunnah only in relation to worship or externals, chances are he/she has not really understood and is not really living Islam. Possessing the affection and Rahmah (mercy) which Islam enjoins between marriage partners is vital for a successful relationship, and these are the important traits to be looked for in a prospective partner.

13. Never consent to engaging in a marriage for a fixed period or in exchange for a sum of money. (Mut'a marriage). Such marriages are expressly forbidden in Islam and entering into them is a sinful act, as marriage must be entered into with a clear intention of it being permanent, for life, not for a limited and fixed duration.

If these guidelines are followed, Insha' Allah the chances of making a mistake which may mar the remainder of your life may be minimised.

Choosing a marriage partner is a most serious matter, perhaps the most serious decision you will ever make in your life since your partner can cause you either to be successful or to fail miserably, in the tests of this life and, consequently, in the Hereafter. This decision needs to be made with utmost care and caution, repeatedly seeking guidance from your Lord.

If everything checks out favourable, well and good, best wishes for happiness together here and in the Hereafter. If not, better drop the matter and wait. Allah, your Lord knows all about you, His servant, and has planned your destiny and your partner for you. Be sure that He will bring you together when the time is right. As the Qur'an enjoins, you must be patient until He opens a way for you, and for your part you should actively explore various marriage leads and possibilities.

Two words addressed to brothers are in order here. If you are marrying or have married a recent convert to Islam, you must be very patient and supportive with her. Remember, Islam is new to her, and chances are that she will not be able to take on the whole of the Shari'ah at once - nor does Islam require this, if you look at the history of early Islam. In your wife 's efforts to conform herself to her newfaith and culture, she needs time and a great deal of support, love, help and understanding from you, free of interference from outsiders. It is best to let her make changes at her own speed when her inner being is ready for them rather than demanding that she do this or that, even if it means that some time will elapse before she is ready to follow certain Islamic injunctions. If the changes come from within herself, they are likely to be sincere and permanent; otherwise, if she makes changes because of pressure from you or from others, she may always be unhappy with the situation and may look for ways out of it. You can help her by being consistent in your own behaviour. So many Muslims apply those parts of the Qur'an or Sunnah which suit them and abandon the rest, with resulting confusion in the minds of their wives and children. Thus, while firmly keeping the reins in your hands, you should look at your own faults, not hers, and be proud and happy with the efforts she is making. Make allowances, be considerate, and show your appreciation of the difficult task she is carrying out by every possible means. This will cause her to love and respect you, your culture, and Islam to grow infinitely faster than a harsh, dominating, forceful approach ever could.

Finally, a word of warning. Certain situations have occurred in which women, posing as Muslims (or perhaps actually having made Shahaadah), have deceived and made fools of numbers of Muslim men. Such women may be extremely cunning and devious, operating as poor, lonely individuals in need of help and/or husbands. The brothers who fall into this net may be shown false photos, given false information or promises, cheated in all sorts of ways, and finally robbed of anything the conniving lady can manage to take from them. As was said, it is wise to check out any prospective partner with local Muslims who know her.

Keep your eyes open and take your time. Since marriage is for life, for eternity, hurrying into it for any reason whatsoever is the act of a foolish or careless person who has only himself or herself to blame if things go wrong.

Wanita dan Kupu-kupu

Kasihan kupu-kupu, badannya cantik dan mempesonakan tetapi kalau ditambah perkataan malam, ia bermaksud lain. Hakikatnya, kupu-kupu bukan semuanya keluar malam, sebilangan sahaja yang gemar ‘berpeleseran’ pada waktu hitam pekat, itupun kerana terpedaya oleh lampu di pinggir jalan.

Kupu-kupu tetap indah, cantik dan menawan. Sebilangan besar kupu-kupu terbang pada waktu siang, hinggap pada bunga-bungaan, menghirup manisan yang tersembunyi di tengah-tengah. Kemudian kupu-kupu terbang lagi dan hinggap di dedaunan segar. Siapa pun pasti melirik apabila terperasankan kelibat kupu-kupu, hati siapa pun ingin memiliki keindahan, kecantikan dan keunikannya di hujung jari.

Tetapi sayap kupu-kupu mudah berderai, apabila sudah berderai, tiada siapa akan menginginkannya lagi. Kupu-kupu pun terbiar…

Wahai wanita dan kupu-kupu, anda ada persamaan…
Wahai wanita dan kupu-kupu, anda tamsilan kepada keindahan…
Wahai wanita dan kupu-kupu, anda juga tamsilan
Kepada kerosakan dan kemusnahan…

Demikian wanita dijadikan Allah untuk menghiasi bumi ini sebagaimana kupu-kupu dijadikan Allah untuk menghiasi bunga-bungaan. Tanpa wanita dunia ini terasa sempit dan tidak seronok untuk didiami. Kaum lelaki akan berasa rimas sebagaimana Nabi Adam a.s. pernah dilanda gelisah meskipun hidup dipenuhi kenikmatan di Syurga. Lalu baginda memohon kepada Allah agar dijadikan seorang teman, agar boleh dia berbicara, bersenda gurau dan membina sahsiahnya. Terciptalah Hawa dari tulang rusuk kiri Nabi Adam a.s. Barulah terisi jiwa Nabi Adam a.s. dan segala kenikmatan Syurga di sekelilingnya terasa wujud.

Ternyata wanita cukup perlu dalam kehidupan lelaki sebagaimana bunga amat perlu kepada suntingan kupu-kupu untuk merealisasikan proses pendebungaan. Tanpa permaisuri, siapalah lelaki yang bergelar raja itu, tanpa isteri siapalah lelaki yang bergelar suami itu, tanpa wanita siapalah peria yang mahu digelar pemimpin itu dan tanpa perempuan siapalah maskulin yang konon mahu digelar ayah itu?

Tanpa Siti Khadijah, barangkali Rasulullah s.a.w. tidak mendapat ‘dorongan’ yang diperlukannya. Tanpa Aishah, barangkali banyak hadis Rasulullah s.a.w. tidak sampai kepada umat Islam seluruhya. Tanpa Fatimah az-Zahrah, barangkali Saidina Ali tidak muncul sebagai menantu Rasulullah s.a.w. yang amat disayangi. Tanpa Asiah, barangkali Nabi Musa a.s. tidak terbela sehingga menjadi penentang kepada suaminya yang amat kufur dan mengaku Tuhan itu. Tanpa Masitah, barangkali tidak terbukti betapa wanita boleh berpegang teguh kepada keimanan meskipun maut di depan matanya. Dan tanpa wanita, siapalah lelaki kerana setiap lelaki datangnya dari perut wanita.

Namun, seorang wanita yang menjadi isteri kepada Nabi Nuh a.s. telah bertukar menjadi seorang penentang kepada kebenaran dan dalam sejarah manusia sejagat ramai wanita menjadi pendorong kepada kemiskinan, kekufuran, kehancuran dan kemusnahan lelaki.

Alangkah besar dan pentingnya peranan wanita dalam kehidupan lelaki, sebagaimana besar dan pentingnya peranan kupu-kupu dalam menambahbiakkan bunga-bungaan dan menambahindahkan bumi ini. Tetapi alangkah besar dan hebatnya peranan wanita dalam merosakkan kehidupan lelaki, sebagaimana besar dan hebatnya peranan kupu-kupu merosakkan dirinya sendiri dengan menerjah api…
