“Hargailah pemberian sesiapa sahaja walaupun sekelumit…” ujar Pak Long, menggalakkan anak-anak buah KBM kami untuk tampil ke hadapan berkongsi kisah.
“Saya memohon maaf sekiranya saya berkasar…” ucap seorang pelajar Kasih SMK Bintulu ini dengan penuh rasa insaf dan berharap dimaaf.
“Di sini saya ingin meminta maaf, kalau saya ada terkasar bahasa.” Pengerusi PPI SMK Bintulu.
Itulah antara beberapa patah kata yang diucapkan peserta baru beberapa ketika yang lalu.
Kami kini sedang mengendali slot In-Team KBM untuk adik-daik yang begitu kami kasihi dan sayangi. Begitu sekali kami memujuk dan merayu mereka untuk berkongsi. Betapa mengawal dan memujuk manusia ini merupakan satu kemahiran tersendiri.
I for one… Would love to see us immersed in such technology. The depth of interaction would be such that learning would be simplified so much.
This past month I have been calling Celcom repeatedly due to problems on my broadband. It seems like they’ve been having problems with the network making such simple things as login into my gmail account, almost impossible. This gmail thing started somewhere around the 10th of this month, I think.
I was wondering if there were any problems relating to any of equipment (phone, computer, bluetooth dongle, bluetooth software, windows - maybe). So I search on the net just in case anyone blogged, or posted something related to this matter. Surprisingly, I got no useful answers to barely any that resembles the problem.
I called the to find out about this specific problem twice at least (yes, I did call them more times for other problems). Once, they told me that there was a ‘network disturbance’ lasting until the 20th (I called approximately on the 15th).
It still lasted beyond that. So I called again today, after getting frustrated waiting out the problem for two days. And they said that there are issues with big email services and uploading and it will persist until 12 midnight on 27th of March.
Darn. There goes my communication line until another 29.5 hours! IF, I repeat, IF it gets solved.
Hmm… Maybe I should redirect all my mail to another temporary account hosted on this domain of mine. I wonder…
When 27 December 2008 arrived, we were shocked by the atrocities that happened to people of Gaza.
What shocked us even more was the fact that much, though not all, western media was distorted and very one-sided in presenting the situation in Gaza. They made it seem like they were attacking “terrorists” when the ones who were actually hit by most of their strikes were primarily civilians.
In response to this blatant abuse and violation of humanity, we launched the 5G* effort in Johor. An effort purposed towards encouraging solidarity between Malaysians, especially Muslim Malaysians, and the people of Gaza.
5G is a sudden explosion of talks and speeches on Gaza aimed at delivering the actual facts of the current situation in Gaza and its background and collecting as much funds as possible to help what we can in Gaza.
Even so, such an effort is not even barely enough for the sufferings the people of Gaza had to go through. In the end, the best we can all do is make du’a to ALLAH that He alleviate the sufferings of our brothers and sisters over there and that He help the mujahideen to win our country of Palestine back.
The statistics so far (5G)
Total locations gone: 125
Confirmed locations to go: 12
Speakers: 35
I have no idea on what to write about.
So I will write about the fact that I dunno what I wanna write about.
So here’s the fact:
I dunno what to write about.
The end.
During the past year since I got married to my wife, I have had the opportunities to travel long distance by bus quite a few times what with her family being in Kelantan and us in Johor.
This opens up new venues for understanding certain aspects of my deen further. Such as doing solah on the bus.
Solah is something which must be done regardless of circumstance. Although there are rukhsahs, or allowances to help us do solah in those situations.
One such rukhsah is to solah on the bus in such cases where you cannot control where and when the bus stops. Since you must still do solah anyway, just do it on the bus.
Of course, the next question becomes, how do you solah without wudu?
You can actually perform wudu on the bus provided you have even one small bottle of water. A 500ml one should suffice for two wudu. I would recommend that you bring a water spray though, it’s much easier to control.
Wudu really need not take as much water as we usually use. In fact, done efficiently, you can use even a cup of water. Of course, on the bus, using as little water as possible should be what you aim for, as you don’t want to flood the floor.
But what if you have no water? Then do tayammum. You can use the dust on the walls for this purpose.
On a vehicle, it is recommended to pray standing when it is possible. On a bus however, it is very impractical to stand and solah. So there is no harm doing it sitting.
There’s also the question of qibla. How do face the ka’ba with the bus turning here, there and another? An answer i heard and use is that there is no need to face the qibla on any vehicle. Just acknowledge the direction when beginning then face forward.
Now after all that, some of you may think, is it really permissible to do solah on a bus? In the end when we come across such situations we are forced to ask our iman, is leaving solah, a pillar of islam, due to the bus not stopping during the waqt of solah more permissible than doing it albeit with allowances? I think the answer is clear here. Though i think i would still post references later.
For now i’ll end this post here.
