I can't really remember how it started but I guess it's when I suddenly saw a number of missiles like object in the night sky. I was telling people what were those things and they said they were just random planes flying, which I did not think so. The next thing I know is that everybody was seeking shelter in the building. By the way, I can't tell if it's in the US or in Malaysia. No clue but I guess it's in the US. I could feel how the atmosphere was like. It was a total chaos outside and in the building there was like so many injured people. I realized that most people were wearing grey buttoned down shirt. not sure why but that's what i remember. and yeah, i was injured too but i'm not sure which part of my body was. i saw people carrying me to see the doctor but i didn't remember seeing the doctor. suddenly i found myself in the middle of the war zone with all the helicopters, jeeps, tanks and this one part was the weirdest one, which when i saw this one formula 1 car going super fast on the road with few people on it. one of them was the malaysian prime mister's son. i don't know him but i found out about him since the prime minister said that is his son and he can do anything he likes. oh come on! it's in the middle of the freaking war! show some love for the country man! lol but i think it's in the US. how weird was that huh? what else. oh yeah, i was under a bridge on that time. more like a highway bridge, like a fly over. and suddenly this one guy came and claiming he's the one who started the war. he came with a jeep and i can tell that he's like a powerful man, like a leader of some kind of a country. and his face assembled this one professor at my school who taught me engineering graphic when i was sophomore. he's turkish by the way. that's all what i can remember. i think this is good enough right? quite a lengthy summary of a dream. what's the significant of this dream? only God knows. i seriously have no idea about how to make some sense from this dream. is it to tell me that i'm destined to be in some kind of war one day? that sounds so epic! i'll definitely be the good guy! fighting along the true warriors of light. put a full stop on those tyrants ruling the world. or at least a coma, like this ",". oh what's funny is my dad sounds curious when i told him about the dream. he asked me if i read books about wars recently or anything like it. and i told him yes i did but it's not like this dream with modern artillery and stuff. it's more like the war during our prophet's time. riding camels and horses, shooting arrows, swinging swords, etc. so i guess i'll be looking forward to some adventure again in my sleep tonight!

p/s: i am amazed with the spirit of the muslim warriors during the mu'tah battle. it was against Byzantine's alliance, happened somewhere around the border of Syria if i'm not mistaken. Zaid bin Harithah was carrying the banner, and he was killed and suddenly Ja'far bin Abi Talib, the prophet's cousin took the banner before it fell and his hands were cut off and he hold it with his knees and later his mouth, or the other way around, when suddenly Abdullah bin Rawahah took the banner from him before he was killed. Abdullah was killed too but then this one lower ranked guy took the banner and gave it to Khalid Al-Walid, who saved the muslim with his excellent strategy. what a spirit they had! when i read stories like this, i wish i was among them! they went to war to get killed! nothing to look forward to! just die! and if they did not, they keep fighting in the next and it goes on and on. it's the tradition! it's the spirit! what a warrior! peace be upon them the martyrs. peace be upon the prophet Muhammad, Allah's Apostle.

sedih.

sedih lumrah hidup. gembira lumrah hidup.

bila sedih kita cari sebab untuk gembira.

tapi bila gembira kita tak cari sebab untuk sedih.

mungkin sebab gembira lagi best dari sedih kot.

bila gembira rasa macam bahagia.

bila gembira rasa macam bebas.

bila gembira rasa macam tak nak dunia kiamat.

betul la kot sedih lagi tak best dari gembira.

ye la, bila sedih rasa macam sengsara.

bila sedih rasa macam kebas.

bila sedih rasa macam nak dunia kiamat segera je.

tapi aku terlupe.

bila sedih aku duduk setempat.

bila sedih aku pandang belakang.

bila sedih aku carik salah aku.

bila sedih aku ingat tuhan.

dalam sedih aku jumpa gembira.

dalam sedih aku pijak bumi nyata.

dalam sedih aku kenal musuh yang nyata.

bayangan seiras

I was about to go back to Hoboken that night. That night we went seeing Shayna at one of her shows. Before that we went out to have dinner at this one Malaysian restaurant near Brooklyn bridge. I forgot the name. What I remembered is that we had beef rendang, KANGKUNG BELACAN (that's what's up!) and ikan bilis goreng I guess. So when I was about to take the PATH train back to Hoboken, this one lady was so helpless that she had two big luggages with her and she wanted to take the train too. Since the subway station does not have escalator, I decided to help her out. The worse part is the station was closed and the train won't be stopping there for the night. That is the 14th street station. I decided to walk with the lady to the 9th street station because she definitely needs another person to carry her bags. By the way, I have no idea how she got there. I guess she took a taxi. We were fortunate that the station was opened and we took the train back. We had a little chat until I reached Hoboken. When I recall this story, I was thinking about how frequent I offer my help to someone. I mean, every single day, you can turn your deeds to be something useful, helpful, or meaningful to other parties. It's your call! It doesn't matter if it's small or big. And that's make you a better Muslim. Action speaks louder than word. Don't just talk but walk the talk.

p/s: Kadang-kadang aku segan dengan tuhan sebab bile peluang buat baik datang depan mata baru nak buat baik. Tapi aku x carik peluang tu. Seolah macam sebab aku ni alpa sangat sampai tuhan datangkan peluang tu depan mata. tu pun kadang2 x endah. masih leka dengan diri sendiri saja. semoga aku semakin selfless.

Lucky Us

Narrated Abu Musa (ra): The Prophet (saw) said, "The example of Muslims, Jews, and Christians is like the example of a man who employed laborers to work for him from morning till night for specific wages. They worked till mid-day and then said, 'We don't need your money which you have fixed for us and let whatever we have done be annulled.' The man said to them, 'Don't quit the work, but complete the rest of it and take your full wages.' But they refused and went away. (like the Jews who refused to believe the Message of Jesus (as). The man employed another batch after them and said to them, 'Complete the rest of the day and yours will be the wages I had fixed for the first batch.' So, they worked till the time of 'Asr prayer. They said, 'Let what we have done be annulled and keep the wages you have promised us for yourself! The man said to them, 'Complete the rest of the work as only a little of the day remains', but they refused (like Christians who refused to believe in the Message of Muhammad (saw)). Thereafter, he employed another batch to work for the rest of the day till the sun set, and they received the wages of the two former batches. So, that was the example of these people (Muslims) and the example of this light (Islam) which they have accepted willingly."
