To talk in riddles

Sometimes I feel like crying, but the tear never fall.
Sometimes my heart moves in such a way that it becomes hard to breathe.

I am sad to see my ideals being raped by people much powerful than me.
I am thankful that there are still people that believe in ethics and truth supremacy although I fear they are now few and far between.

Yes, I know I'm being a tad naive. But, isn't a dream is also a target? Ideals are not dreams, it is a target with potential to become reality.

Other people question my religion, trying relentlessly to strip it from what it is bit by bit.

Usage of specific words, challenging the context of religion interpretation and also discussing the suitability of Islamic regulations in today's world are just some of the intentional interference into my religion.
Are we so dumb that we can't organize and manage for our own? Do we need intervention from others to tell us what we must or must not do?
For you, your own religion. For me, my religion.
It's just that simple.

I long for the day when truth prevails.

Do you know that darkness results from the absence of light?
The degree of darkness depend on the intensity of the light.
You can make light shine brighter, but can you make the dark be darker?
We are now in darkness because we do not have the light. The light comes in the form of knowledge, not a bolt from the sky.
Allah would not help those who refuse to help themselves.

Kata- kata seorang ustaz yang aku tak tahu namanya:
Bila ahli kebenaran tidak mahu menyebarkan beritanya, maka ahli kebatilan lah yang akan menyebarkan syiarnya

Kemahuan membantu engkau menjadi manusia

Sini ada satu soalan: adakah ada beza antara tidak mahukan apa-apa dan puas dengan apa yang ada sekarang?
Bagi aku:
Kalau tidak mahukan apa- apa maksudnya bagi aku ialah tiada rasa untuk mempunyai apa- apa, tiada kemahuan untuk mencapai apa- apa. Tiada keinginan.
Tapi kalau puas dengan apa yang ada ialah mahukan sesuatu dan sudahpun mendapatkannya. Maksudnya kita ada keinginan untuk mempunyai apa yang kita ada sekarang dan merasa cukup dengannya. Keinginan sudah dipenuhi. Tidak perlu penambahan.

...Sebenarnya bila difikirkan, aku sebelum ni tak pernah merasa mahukan sesuatu. Benar- benar mahukan sesuatu dan bersedia untuk fokuskan kehidupan untuk mencapai matlamat, menguatkan diri untuk terus melangkah lebih hampir pada target ---> aku tidak pernah merasakan itu.
Sampaiah sekarang. Sekarang barulah aku tahu bagaimana rasanya mahukan sesuatu dengan sangat dashyat. Sebelum ni, tak sangka yang aku sebelum ni seperti orang yang tiada arah dalam hidup. Sebelum ni mencapai sesuatu atau tidak, tidak memberi kesan apa- apa sebab kemahuan itu belum cukup kuat untuk mampu mengecewakan aku.
Tapi sekarang, kemahuan itu sangat kuat, berlainan dari yang sebelum ini. Sampai kadangkala menakutkan aku sendiri.
Kerana kemahuan itu, segala tindakan terarah pada pencapaian matlamat. Semua yang dapat menjejaskan pencapaian itu akan gigih diselesaikan. Persistence. Endurance.

Kini aku merasa kagum dengan gabungan yang Allah menciptakan manusia: akal, nafsu dan hati. Setiapnya adalah elemen yang diperlukan untuk menjadikan hidup ini untuk mempunyai makna.

Tanpa salah satu, hilanglah erti hidup.
