What should we do during the chaos in Middle East countries today?? though it may leads towards the end of regime types of leadership, but our friends there are in danger, many Muslim are dead along the scenes..please raise ur hand, pray for the best, ya Allah, I'm praying for no more sacrifice of Muslim's lives..i can't stand it anymore.. =(

In Egypt, it seems the police stations, the prison and locked-up are no longer functioning as they were hijacked, the soldiers take over the situation. In the mean time, sadly, our friends are said to be raped, robbed and many other bad situation.

I'm hoping that all friends that studied in Egypt will be safe. I'm really worried about them. Hopefully all the actions will be taken A.S.A.P.

Amin Ya Rabb !!

Childhood,
far from mommy,
live without clear destiny,
but i'm verily happy,
cause of beloved grandmom is with me..

Maahad Ahmadi..
My childish turned to finding identity ,
My vision was not only Qur'anology,
but also tonnes of sport activity,
and first experience of coupling recklessly..

slm..as in my LE 4500 class last week, we were asked to write our own journal and the very first topic is about own self. So, here is the write-up that i did. It looks a bit weird than my identity that want to remain humble, but this is the reality in presenting yourself especially in interview.

Palestine : Why did you do this to us?

Narrated in Sahih Muslim, Syarh an-Nawawi, 1 hadith from Anas ibn Malik r.a he said, "Verily Prophet pbuh in the time of asking for rain, he made the back side of his hand facing towards sky" - turning hand up-side down while praying for removal of disaster is the practice of Prophet pbuh

Imam an-Nawawi said: "We had explained that those who have obstacles like slaves, women, travellers and others, thus compulsory for them is to perform Zuhr. But, if they prform Jumaat prayer, it is still accepted. If they leave Zuhr for Jumaat prayer, so it's enough for them according to Ijmak"

Assalamualaikum wbt.

1. Alhamdulillah, unintentionally i found website owned by my senior at www.AsraffAyob.com .He was an excellent student with straight A's in UPSR, PMR, SPM, and remarkably known as best in memorization though i scared with his strictness as a senior. He won a lot in Majlis Hafazan at state and national level. He was even able to memorize the Oxford Bilingual English-Malay Dictionary. After getting Imtiyaz in Diploma of Tahfiz, then further his study to Shoubra, Egypt (B.A in Takhassus Qiraat) and UKM (M.A in Psychology I.O). Before he depart to New Zealand to accompany his wife, he introduced his own method of Memorizing al-Quran named Jibril Method.

2. I feel honored to see the high standard article in his post and I wanna all of u guys to read it at http://www.asraffayob.com/dunia-hafazan-al-quran/sistem-berfikir-vs-sistem-menghafaz-pro-kontra/

3. In that article, he explained, expressed and inspired to all the people involved in Tahfiz education regarding the issue of Learning Method in a case of Less Quality Performance and Achievement by the Hafiz in Malaysia.

Then, I did reply him:

slm ustaz..I’m izzudin (your junior@7th generation)

1. May this reply reach u in the best of blessing and health.

2. We have also been thinking the same issues, but your article compiled the perspectives. Of course, after all, you are not only know, but we experienced almost the same.

3. Most of the ‘hafiz’ are highly qualified through UPSR and other main qualifications by their straight A’s, but then the quality of produced ‘hafiz’ does not reflect in the same way.

4. In the end, it seems the system leaves us with a burden to catch up the real ‘hafiz’ requirements, of course again, only if that so called ‘hafiz’ realize it, otherwise they will continue on dreaming of being a ‘hafiz’.

5. My point is not mainly to blame others on self-lackness, but hopefully it will not affect the later generation.
6. In my opinion, the programme/module/syllabus needed may comprises the real life routine of ‘hafiz’ not only as to be a good student, nicest IMAM and to get a job, but also as to be the REFERENCE and SPEAKER in Theory&Applied-Quranic matters, LEADER in society, and EXPERT in Islamic matters. As a bonus, leading them to business world, if you agree with me.

7. In order to achieve that, the focus of Tahfiz education should includes Quranic Memorizations’ theoretical and PRACTICAL inputs plus its supplementary subjects (Tawheed, Fiqh & Tasawwuf), by exposure to global scopes at not only individual level but society level as well.
To put it in simple words:
i - ‘Hands On Experience’ learning method would be the best ; after induction in 1 session, then followed by putting the student outside of the class to practice by pretending that they are facing the situation needed until they succeed. It may not succeed that early, but at least the spark are already placed there.
The students may be busy during class session and prep, the option left is to prioritize the activities during weekend specifically for Hands On Experience session.
Another option, 1 week programme during holiday for every Diploma-level students only may suits them well. It is a crucial stage compared to secondary stage as they began to choose their identity and path.
ii - R&D needed to be done for the students in order to keep them at high level. Just name the issue, Insya-Allah, there are lots of people who can help as well, but the initiation by the people in-charge would be the needed start.
It is a good start that there are lots of association created.

8. To be outside the box of typical ‘hafiz’ is what needed the most.

9. May Allah gives u the best of success in your intention, agenda and efforts.

Best regards,
MOHD IZZUDIN MOHD FAUDZI

1. 1 day, u will see a remarkable speaker who talk about huffaz at global level. Maybe, u all will be wondering how he will present himself. Is he gonna look like Dato' Dr. Fadzilah Kamsah with his westerners attire, or like Dato' Abu Hassan Din AlHafiz with his Arabian theme?
2. I adore the way Anthony Robbins present himself as to wear what he likes, when and where he likes, the bottom line is, just be who u are, then your audience will be pleased that u re-present your own self not others.
3. But, no matter how, u have to make your self one step above than your audience.
4. Of course, i'm not gonna dressed up with shortpant !, but kopiah n jeans will make it special. Then it becomes the definition of yourself.
5. Here as well, i would like to quote a simple formula on how to start changing process in our life according to Brads Sugar (ActionCoach):

BE X DO = HAVE
(Be positive in thinking and Do positive actions, its will lead to having positive values or attitudes)

To see my friend going through his life with his choice was really a tough call that he did. He even start all over again with the same choice, but with double effort. It really inspired me because i'm facing the same situation now. Before, i put myself in an MLM, insurance industry and Quranic teaching. I feel better in the third industry.

Quranic teaching as an industry is like putting your Quranic traditional class into a major business like what have been done by Kumon Asia & Ocenia Pte. Ltd. So, i'll go for it, insya Allah. See you in the next post, but before that, have a read on this:

• It is not that easy to make a choice in life,the larger your target, the greater its pressure would be.
• Like said in the previous post, bad start is not really that bad, it will make you even more mature.
• Start all over again is a right choice, but never repeat the same previous mistakes.
• Do not put the same previous level of effort but double it.
• Do not look back and do not hold back once you have your choice.
• GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR CHOICE!!

salam..
Since my childhood, i love to plan but i fail to implement..But, lots of things achieved by all my daily/monthly plan..After an observation, what i saw was a success of several plan despite of all planned target..Some people says, dream to be high on the sky, even if you fall, at least it will be on the high mountain.

As the new day came, i set several things to be achieved to make me better..
1 - to maintain Quranic revision
2 - to focus on my study and business
3 - to update blog daily
4 - to update a news on Arsenal F.C particularly, and E.P.L generally.

Ada seorang pemuda yang lama belajar di luar negeri kembali ke tanahair dengan angkuh dan sombong. Di dalam benak kepalanya telah lama tersimpan 3 pertanyaan yang dianggapnya tiada siapa yang boleh menjawab.

Satu hari beliau bertemu seorang imam tua di kampungnya. Pemuda: Pak imam apakah boleh menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan saya?

Pak Imam: Saya hamba Allah dan dengan izin-Nya saya akan menjawab pertanyaan kamu!

Pemuda: Pak Imam yakin? Profesor dan banyak orang pintar yang saya tanya tidak mampu menjawab pertanyaan saya.

Pak Imam: Saya akan mencuba sejauh kemampuan saya, insya’Allah.

As this post is up here, the inter-semester vacation for IIUM between Sem 2 2009/2010 and sem 3 2009/2010 is at the beginning. I had my own plan to use all the coming 14-days during the vacation. All i want to do is to start my dream to be a great insurance agent in MCIS Zurich. I need to concentrate to have a good start in a new business planning, in order to make me success in this new career. I've interested in this field since 19 years old, but only this time I've decided to truly be serious and gain benefit from it.

As for me, planning for vacation need to be done with some of these checklists:
1) Beneficial for your personal life (ibadah, health, knowledge)
2) Beneficial for your family (time)
3) Beneficial for the Ummah (beneficial activity)
4) Beneficial for your future (planning and preparation for upcoming events)

Salam..it's been a while since the last time i wrote an entry for this blog..busy is not among the reason and i don't know why..in this year, some changes happened..

First, i resigned from working as an administrative staff at Student Development Division, IIUM..Second, i resigned from holding a position as a president in Community Service (CENSERVE Team) 2009/2010. Then, i was offered to work as a Quranic teacher at some houses in Setiawangsa. At this rate, my study is still on.

i've come to think that even you have a high ambition, but your body can't take it, it can't still be done..i've suffered severe headache since 17 which made me faint several times..it's not that i don't take any action on that, but the 'red tape effects' was severe too, from the district health center until the state hospital at negeri sembilan, all are the same.."you need to go here first (without checking the illness)"..lastly, i became one of the person who gave up to face the 'red tape' situation..

recently, i was sent to neurology department (after begging) to have at least a medical check up, then the result is i have a hypertension..even after the conversation with my head department (Medical Anthropologist), he detected the same..

therefore, i would like to advise to take of your health and also never do not become one of such Red Tape.

Red Tape

The collection or sequence of forms and procedures required to gain bureaucratic approval for something, especially when oppressively complex and time-consuming.
This expression alludes to the former British custom of tying up official documents with red ribbon. [Early 1800s]
Red tape generally includes the filling out of seemingly unnecessary paperwork, obtaining of unnecessary licenses, having multiple people or committees approve a decision and various low-level rules that make conducting one's affairs slower, more difficult, or both.

Hypertension

By Mayo Clinic staff:

High blood pressure (hypertension) is a risk factor for more than heart disease. Discover what complications high blood pressure can cause and how to control it.
High blood pressure can quietly damage your body for years before symptoms develop. Left uncontrolled, you may wind up with a disability, a poor quality of life or even a fatal heart attack. Fortunately, with treatment and lifestyle changes, you can control your high blood pressure to reduce your risk of life-threatening complications.

You never have to make up for a good start. If a project or a job gets off to a bad start it can be difficult to catch up. Do your planning up front so you get a good start and you won't regret it.

izzudin@KARISMA_Batch 07: Salam 1 KARISMA..lots of learning n development processes happened..what more tears n joys felt..also da integration n conflicts occured..sorry n thanx for e/thing to all KARISMArians; seniors n juniors, bro n sis, friends n family..taste da cream,sweet n sour experiences in this KARISMA family while reaching da top n in da same time feelin the bottom..and u'll found the jewels n crowns along da way..i luv KARISMA..

Al Azhar berusia lebih 1000 tahun, merupakan universiti yang tertua di dunia menjadi kebanggaan ummat Islam seluruhnya. Barat sendiri mencemburuinya satu ketika dahulu. Kehebatannya sebagai menara ilmu dan peradaban menjadikannya sebagai tempat rujukan hukum.

Saya tidak pernah ke sana namun universiti itu terasa amat dekat di hati kerana saya selalu membayangkan UIA sebagai satu cepisan dari universiti agung itu. Al-Azhar berasal dari sebuah mesjid dan dikembangkankan oleh para ulama yang tidak punya apa2 tujuan lain kecuali untuk memartabatkan ilmu. Ia tidak ada Triple ICe. Ia punya autonomi yang tidak diusik oleh sesiapapun. Tiada siapa mempersoalkan samada silibusnya mengikut standard yang bertaraf dunia atau tidak sebab ia lebih dari bertaraf dunia kerana dia bertaraf syurga. Para pelajar tidak perlu membayar yuran kerana universiti itu dibiayai sepenuhnya melalui hasil sumbangan zakat.

Mereka hanya perlu belajar dan belajar dengan gigih dan sabar. Para pensyarahnya adalah ulama2 besar yang tugasnya hanya mengajar dan mengajar dengan gigih dan sabar. Ia mengeluarkan fatwa sebagai panduan ummat Islam. Mereka tidak pernah peduli dengan ranking atau pentarafan atau pengi’tirafan.

Havard berusia lebh 370 tahun, universiti terhebat pada pandangan dunia sekarang kerana kualiti akademik dan pentadbirannya. Ia dilahirkan oleh John Havard, seorang paderi yang suka pada ilmu dan mempunyai koleksi buku yang banyak , lalu menubuhkan pusat memperkembangkan ilmu dan seterusnya menjadi sebuah universiti tertua, terkaya dan paling terbilang di Amerika. Kalau Al Azhar mengeluarkan ulama, havard mengeluarkan rahib kristian sebelum ia diliberalkan dan dibuka untuk orang luar.

Tidak seperti Al-Azhar, Havard bersih, mahal dan hanya pelajar yang hebat akademiknya dan mampu membayar yuran yang sangat tinggi saja saja diterima masuk, kecuali mereka mendapat biasiswa. Ia juga mempunyai autonomi yang tidak pernah tergugat. Seperti Al-Azhar, ia dibiayai sepenuhnya atas sumbangan pemberi dana dan hasil pelaburannya tanpa bergantung kepada pemerintah. Sehingga kini yayasan havard yang memiliki dana sebanyak USD26 bilion adalah yayasan kedua terkaya di dunia selepas yayasan Melinda & Bill Gates.

Mempunyai hampir 20 ribu pelajar dengan 2,400 profesor, siapa yang boleh menandinginya lagi. Hampir kesemua programnya menerima ranking pertama oleh organisasi2 pemberi ranking.

UIA yang masih kerdil tetapi cuba mencari kehebatannya sendiri.

Masyarakat Islam Malaysia tidak seperti orang Arab atau Amerika. Adalah biasa bagi orang Amerika atau Inggeris membahagikan sekian-sekian peratus dari pendapatan mereka kepada gereja, sekolah, atau badan2 kebajikan lain seperti persatuan pencinta alam malah kepada badan yang menjaga haiwan terbiar secara konsisten. Banyak yayasan ditubuhkan oleh orang2 kaya dan mereka inilah juga yang membina kekuatan masyarakat. Kalau anda berjalan2 di kota London atau di mana2 saja di negara barat, anda akan melihat begitu banyak kedai2 barang terpakai untuk membiayai badan2 kebajikan dibuka dan dikendalikan oleh sukarelawan yang tidak bergaji. Harga yang ditawarkan sangat murah tetapi biasanya orang secara sukarela membayarnya dengan harga mahal sebagai derma.

Saya amat terharu mendengar syed Mokhtar Albukhari menceritakan bagaimana semasa pertama kali menerima gaji ibunya berpesan mengambil hanya separuh dari gajinya dan yang selebihnya didermakan kepada orang yang memerlukan. Dengan kebiasaan itu sekarang Yayasan Al Bukhari menjadi yayasan Melayu paling kaya di Malaysia.

Banyak universiti di barat dan di tanah Arab hidup tanpa pergantungan kepada peruntukan pemerintah. Ini juga berlaku di Indonesia. Saya perhatikan di kampung2 di Indonesia, semiskin2 penduduk kampung itu, mesjid dan pesantren tetap menerima sumbangan yang konsisten dari warganya. Tok imam kampung bukanlah orang misikin di kampungnya kerana kehidupannya dijaga dengan baik oleh penduduk. Ini adalah manifestasi dari rasa hormat warga kampung terhadap orang yang berstatus imam.

Pengalaman tinggal di UK selama 3 tahun dan bermusafir ke beberapa negara ketiga, saya dapati masyarakat Islam Malaysia masih kurang tinggi dari segi semangat kesukarelwanan membangunkan dana untuk aktiviti pendidikan berbanding dengan negara lain. Mungkin semangat kita agak sedikit tinggi untuk mengisi tabung aktiviti keagamaan tetapi secara amnya masih jauh ketinggalan dari masyarakat lain. Pada kebiasaanya masyarakat kita menyumbang hanya apabila berlaku sesuatu musibah.

Agak sedih kita melihat betapa susahnya sesebuah sekolah untuk menggerakkan tabung PIBG umpamanya. Yuran kecil PIBG pun menjadi isu besar sedangkan semua ibubapa tahu ianya untuk kepentingan anak2 mereka juga dan ia boleh dibayar secara beransur2 sekiranya tidak mampu. Jarang sekali kita mendengar ibubapa yang punya kemampuan tinggi menawarkan diri untuk menolong membayarkan yuran PIBG teman2 anak mereka yang kurang mampu. Kalaupun ada yang ingin melakukannya, sudah tentu ibubapa yang ditolong merasa tercabar ego mereka,

Kita merasa cemburu bagaimana tabung PIBG sekolah jenis kebangsaan cina boleh mencapai jutaan ringgit. Tetapi tabung PIBG sekolah kebangsaan jarang sekali mencecah 5 angka.

Kalau untuk mengisi dana PIBG pun amat susah, bagaimana mungkin kita dapat membuat dana untuk membiayai sebuah universiti seperti orang barat. Gereja di barat mewah dengan sumbangan masyarakat tetapi masjid kita masih menagih sumbangan kerajaan.

UIA membawa aspirasi masyarakat Islam sedunia dalam mengembangkan ilmu dengan kaedah moden. Penubuhannya juga merempuh cabaran atas kemampuan malaysia melahirkan model universiti islam bertaraf antarabangsa. Kejayaan atau kegagalannya bukan saja mempengaruhi imej negara di mata dunia tetapi lebih jauh lagi imej ummat Islam yang selalu dipandang rendah dalam aspek pengurusan dan pentadbiran organisasi.

Saya selalu menyebut kepada pelajar, kalau graduan uia gagal menunjukkan prestasi cemerlang dalam apa saja yang dilakukannya, yang akan menerima ‘aib bukanlah diri mereka secara peribadi tetapi juga masyarakat Malaysia dan lebih penting ‘aib ummat Islam. Di manakah kedudukan kita di mata Allah sekiranya membiarkan agama kita direndahkan2 orang semata2 kerana kegagalan kita menunjukkan prestasi cemerlang.

Pengurusan tertinggi UIA bertungkus lumus menggerakkan seluruh jentera universiti ke arah kecemerlangan, namun ia memerlukan sikap positif dari setiap orang untuk mencapainya.

UIA adalah milik seluruh ummat Islam. Setiap insan Muslim yang mengenalinya perlu memberi sokongan atas dasar mempertahankan martabat ummah. Adalah janggal rasanya sekiranya ada persaingan negatif di kalangan universiti2 tempatan dengan mengharapkan UIA diberikan ranking terbawah. Lebih janggal lagi sekiranya UIA dicemuh orang dan kita turut tertawa.

Note: Tulisan ini saya coretkan atas 2 insiden iaitu 1) Selepas memerah otak membuat perancangan untuk memberi yang terbaik untuk pelajar tahun depan. 2) Selepas membaca beberapa buah blog yang mengutuk2 UIA dengan perkataan spt “that stupid UIA” , “the backward university” yang ditulis oleh orang2 tidak bertanggungjawab.

Manage the function, not the paperwork. Remember that your job is to manage a specific function within the company, whatever that may be. There is a lot of paperwork that goes with the job, but don't let that distract you from your real responsibility.
