			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By Hamza Yusuf   On the news Everybody&#8217;s dog food Bang bang Shock dead Everybody&#8217;s gone mad&#8230;  From &#8220;They Don&#8217;t Care About Us&#8221; by Michael Jackson   As a little boy, Michael Jackson had an extraordinary charisma &#8212; as well as an absolute innocence &#8212; that was disarmingly charming. It captivated millions of Americans and eventually people around the world.  As the years went by, his career took strange turns and he slowly turned white, transforming his face eerily into a pale and ghastly masque, perhaps to conceal the pain of alienation from his own self and family. He was also rumored to have unsavory predilections that would never have been suggested if one used the rigorous criteria of Islam before hurling an accusation. Despite the rumors, he appeared to have had a genuine concern for children, wanting to provide them with a world that was denied to him as a child due to the abuses he claimed to have suffered.  I was very happy for him last year when he reportedly became a Muslim. He had apparently followed the footsteps of his dignified and intelligent brother, Jermaine, who converted to Islam 20 years ago and found peace. It seemed befitting that Michael sought refuge from a society that thrives on putting people on pedestals and then knocking them down. He was accused of many terrible things, but was guilty of perhaps being far too sensitive for an extremely cruel world. Such is the fate of many artistic people in our culture of nihilistic art, where the dominant outlet for their talents is in singing hollow pop songs or dancing half-naked in front of ogling onlookers who often leave them as quickly as they clung to them for the next latest sensation.  In the manner of Elvis or the Beatles, Michael is unwittingly both a cause and a symptom of America’s national obsession with celebrity, currently on display in the American Idol mania. Celebrity trumps catastrophe every time. Far too few of us make any attempt to understand why jobs are drying up, why mortgages are collapsing, why we spend half-a-trillion dollars to service the interest on the national debt, why our government’s administration, despite being elected on an anti-war platform, is still committed to two unnecessary and unjust wars waged by the earlier administration, wars that continue to involve civilians casualties on an almost daily basis. Instead, we drown in trivia, especially trivia related to celebrity. And the response to Michael’s death is part of the trivial pursuits of American popular culture. The real news about death in America is that twenty Iraq and Afghan war veterans are committing suicide every day. But that does not make the front page nor is it discussed as seriously as the King of Pop’s cardiac arrest.  Nevertheless, Michael’s very public death notice is a powerful reminder that no matter how famous or talented or wealthy one is, death comes knocking, sometimes sooner than later. Michael has now entered a world of extraordinary perception, a world that makes his “Thriller” video seem mundane. It is a world of angels and demons, and questions in the grave, a world where fame is based upon piety and charity. Given Michael’s reported conversion to Islam last year, Muslims count him as one of our own, and we pray that he can finally find the peace he never found in this world and that he is in a place, God willing, of mercy, forgiveness, and solace.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="color:green;"> </span></span><br />
<em>Compiled from the works of<br />
Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali, Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah and Abu Hamid al-Ghazaali</em></p>
<p>Just as the heart may be described in terms of being alive or dead, it may also be regarded as belonging to one of three types; these are the healthy heart, the dead heart, and the sick heart.</p>
<p><strong>The Healthy Heart </strong></p>
<p>On the Day of Resurrection, only those who come to Allah with a healthy heart will be saved. Allah says:</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;The day on which neither wealth nor sons will be of any use,<br />
except for whoever brings to Allah a sound heart.&#8221; </strong> </em><br />
<em>(26:88-89) </em></p>
<p>In defining the healthy heart, the following has been said: &#8220;It is a heart cleansed from any passion that challenges what Allah commands, or disputes what He forbids. It is free from any impulses which contradict His good. As a result, it is safeguarded against the worship of anything other than Him, and seeks the judgment of no other except that of His Messenger (peace be upon him). Its services are exclusively reserved for Allah, willingly and lovingly, with total reliance, relating all matters to Him, in fear, hope, and sincere dedication. When it loves, its love is in the way of Allah. If it detests, it detests in the light of what He detests. When it gives, it gives for Allah. If it withholds , it withholds for Allah. Nevertheless, all this will not suffice for its salvation until it is free from following, or taking as its guide, anyone other that His Messenger (peace be upon him). A servant with a healthy heart must dedicate it to its journeys end and not base his actions and speech on those of any other person except Allahs Messenger (peace be upon him). He must not give any precedence to any other faith , words or deeds over those of Allah and His Messenger, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. Allah says:</p>
<p><em><strong>&#8220;Oh you who believe, do not put yourselves above Allah and His Messenger,<br />
but fear Allah, for Allah is Hearing, Knowing.&#8221; </strong> </em> <em>(49:1)</em></p>
<p><strong>The Dead Heart</strong></p>
<p>This is the opposite of the healthy heart. It does not know its Lord and does not worship Him as He commands, in the way which He likes, and with which He is pleased. It clings instead to its lust and desires, even if these are likely to incur Allahs displeasure and wrath. It worships things other than Allah, and its love and its hatreds, and its giving and its withholding, arise from its whims, which are of paramount importance to it and preferred above the pleasure of Allah. Its whims are its imam. Its lust is its guide. Its ignorance is its leader. Its crude impulses are its impetus. It is immersed in its concern with worldly objectives. It is drunk with its own fancies and its love for hasty, fleeting pleasures. It is called to Allah and the akhira from a distance but it does not respond to advice, and instead it follows any scheming, cunning shayton. Life angers and pleases it, and passion makes it deaf and blind (1) to anything except what is evil. To associate and keep company with the owner of such a heart is to temp illness: living with him is like taking poison, and befriending him means utter destruction.</p>
<p><strong>The Sick Heart</strong></p>
<p>This is a heart with life in it as well as illness. The former sustains it at one moment, the latter at another, and it follows whichever one of the two manages to dominate it. It has love for Allah, faith in Him, sincerity towards Him, and reliance upon Him, and these are what give it life. It also has a craving for lust and pleasure, and prefers them and strives to experience them. It is full of self-admiration, which can lead to its own destruction. It listens to two callers: one calling it to Allah and His Prophet (peace be upon him) and the akhira; and the other calling it to the fleeting pleasures of this world. It responds to whichever one of the two happens to have most influence over it at the time. The first heart is alive, submitted to Allah, humble, sensitive, and aware; the second is brittle and dead; the third wavers between either its safety or its ruin.</p>
<p>FOOTNOTES</p>
<p>1. It has been related on the authority of Abud-Darda that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) said, <em>&#8220;Your love for something that makes you blind and deaf.&#8221; </em> <span style="font-size:78%;">Abu Dawud, Al-Adab, 14/38: Ahmad, Al-Musnad, 5/194. Classified as hasan.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>it has been such a deafening silent in here. is it because there is nothing to say. or is it because  many things should be left unsaid.  things had happened  to your own likings or even dislikes. because life is not about u and your preferences. it has always been about Him. always.</p>
<p>it is a scary thought just to live your life without knowing where you will end up. will u be granted with that precious husnul khatimaah. will I be granted that yaALLAH?</p>
<p>it is heartwrenching to live day by day with that desire to meet him only to realize you are just not good enough to meet him as yet.  he just does not want to choose u.  but just don&#8217;t prohibit me to meet him  then, it would be too much for me to take.</p>
<p>a fren once shared this:  do not seek him in him because u will never find anyone like him. he is one in a million.</p>
<p>at expectaction. you just could not measure up to that. how do you make them understand that?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>By: Aaron Haroon Sellars</p>
<p>The capital of life<br />
Is in every breathe<br />
So take advantage<br />
Before none is left<br />
Don’t judge the truth<br />
By what people do<br />
First find the truth<br />
And do what’s right for you<br />
Lift your soul up high<br />
From the fakeness on the ground<br />
Search deep inside<br />
And the Real will be found</p>
<p>Like a Butterfly<br />
I want to Change!<br />
Like a Butterfly<br />
Fly out of Range!</p>
<p>You can’t see the sun<br />
If you look it in the eye<br />
You can’t live your life<br />
If you never try<br />
If you want to walk on water<br />
You must take a step<br />
But you won’t move a foot<br />
With a faith that is inept<br />
So if you want to move the mountains<br />
You need a power not your own<br />
You can move the mountains</p>
<p>When certainty is shown<br />
Don’t you know that the graveyard<br />
Is the richest place on earth?<br />
Because of all the hopes and dreams<br />
That lay beneath the dirt</p>
<p>Like a Butterfly<br />
I want to Change!<br />
Like a Butterfly<br />
Fly out of Range!</p>
<p>So bless me like Muhammad!<br />
Help me like Moses!<br />
Save me like Jesus!<br />
And all the Saints that know this!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;">Dengan Nama ALLAH Yang Maha Pengasih Lagi Maha Penyayang</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;">Selawat dan Salam atas Nabi Junjungan, Rasulullah, ke atas Keluarga dan Sahabat-sahabatnya.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center"><em><span style="font-size:9pt;line-height:115%;">Sedikit Rumusan Tentang Pembentangan <strong>Kyai Muhaimin Abdul Basit</strong>, beliau merupakan salah seorang anak murud Habib Salim Asy-Syatiri, dengan mauduknya <strong>Ilmu,</strong> yang berlangsung di Wehdah pada 30hb Januari 2009.</span></em></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center;" align="center">
<p class="MsoNormal">1) APAKAH KEPENTINGAN MENUNTUT ILMU?</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Beliau telah menyimpulkan      ilmu kepada dua perkataan: TAHU(<span style="font-family:&quot;" dir="rtl"> </span>(<span style="font-family:&quot;" dir="rtl" lang="AR-EG">عرف</span> &amp; MEYAKINKAN(<span style="font-family:&quot;" dir="rtl"> </span>(<span style="font-family:&quot;" dir="rtl" lang="AR-EG">أيقن</span> .</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Kadangkala pula, ilmu itu      disamakan dengan KERAGUAN (<span style="font-family:&quot;" dir="rtl" lang="AR-EG">ظن</span>).</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) BILAKAH DIWAJIBKAN KE ATAS KITA MENUNTUT ILMU?</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Beliau menyatakan wajib ke      atas kita menuntut ilmu bila hendak berbicara.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Rasulullah <em>alaihis      solatu wassalam</em> pernah bersabda: “ilmu itu imam, amal itu ikutan”.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Dalam kitab Zubad ada      tertulis satu syair yang berbunyi, “ setiap orang yang tahu tapi tidak      beramal maka ilmunya ditolak”.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Seseorang yang tahu      sesuatu ilmu itu tapi tidak beramal samalah dia seperti seseorang yang tidak      berilmu.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Ilmu dan amal mempunyai      nilai yang tinggi di sisi ALLAH.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Ilmu itu ibarat peta.      Seharusnya kita mempelajari peta tadi dan mengikuti <strong>jalannya yang lurus</strong> untuk sampai ke destinasi yang telah ditetapkan.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Kita boleh mendapati jalan      yang lurus di dunia mahupun di akhirat. Di dunia, hanya <em>ahlul basoir</em> (golongan yang mendapat petunjuk dengan pandangan mata kasar) yang akan      mendapat jalan yang lurus. Di akhirat, <em>ahlul basoir</em> dan <em>ahlul      absor</em> (golongan yang mendapat petunjuk dengan pandangan mata hati)      yang akan mendapat jalan yang lurus. Ini disebabkan kedua golongan orang      Islam dan kafir mengaku bahawa mereka berjalan atas landasan yang benar.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Apabila Imam Ibnul Qayyum ditanya      tentang siapakah yang akan berjalan di atas jalan yang lurus di akhirat?      Beliau berkata: “ Jika seseorang itu tetap jalannya di dunia, (insyaALLAH)      akan tetaplah jalannya di akhirat”.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span> </span>Daripada mafhum sebuah hadith: Sesiapa      yang bertambah ilmunya tetapi sedikit sahaja amalnya, maka tidak akan      bertambah melainkan lebih jauh dari ALLAH.</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal">3) APAKAH SUMBER-SUMBER ILMU?</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Wahyu Ilahi;</strong> Ianya      lebih tertumpu kepada perkara-perkara berkenaan agama (<span style="font-family:&quot;" dir="rtl" lang="AR-EG">شرعي وسماعي</span>)</li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><strong>Ilmu Aqli; </strong>sumber      ilmu ini adalah akal. Proses ini berlaku bila akal kita bertadabbur      memikirkan maksud-maksud yang hendak disampaikan oleh ayat-ayat kauniyyah      yang menceritakan tentang kejadian alam dan sebagainya sebagai contoh      adalah ayat yang disebutkan dalam surah Al-Baqarah ayat 164:<strong></strong></li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;"><span style="font-size:24pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;" dir="rtl" lang="AR-EG">إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلاَفِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَالْفُلْكِ الَّتِي تَجْرِي فِي الْبَحْرِ بِمَا يَنفَعُ النَّاسَ وَمَا أَنزَلَ اللّهُ مِنَ السَّمَاء مِن مَّاء فَأَحْيَا بِهِ الأرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِهَا وَبَثَّ فِيهَا مِن كُلِّ دَآبَّةٍ وَتَصْرِيفِ الرِّيَاحِ وَالسَّحَابِ الْمُسَخِّرِ بَيْنَ السَّمَاء وَالأَرْضِ لآيَاتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ</span><span style="font-size:24pt;line-height:115%;"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;">Apabila dikaji tentang ayat ini, banyak ilmu yang dapat dipelajari antaranya tentang peranan air dan bumi dan kajian tentang ilmu biologi.</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Semasa zaman Al-Abbasiyyah,      ketika pemerintahan khalifah Ma’mun gerakan ilmu berlangsung dengan aktif      sekali.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal">Kalau manusia berasal      daripada <em>Abul Basyar</em> Saydina Adam <em>‘alaihissalam</em>, mengapakah      terdapat pelbagai jenis bangsa daripada bapa dan ibu yang sama?</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;">Ini disebabkan Saydina Adam <em>‘alaihissalam</em> berasal daripada tanah dan tanah sendiri mempunyai warna yang berbeza-beza. Maka timbullah keturunan dari pelbagai bangsa. Dikatakan bangsa Cina berasal daripada keturunan YAFIS (anaknya yang terakhir). Dikatakan bangsa. Dikatakan bangsa Melayu berasal daripada keturunan nabi NUH <em>‘alaihissalam. </em>Dikatakan bangsa Arab berasal daripada keturunan Sam<em>. </em>Manakala orang-orang Eropah dan India berasal daripada keturunan Ham.</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Di antara keduanya, mana      yang lebih penting?</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;">Kedua-duanya tidak dinafikan kepentigannya. Akan tetapi jika bertembung antara kedua-dua ilmu, maka ilmu syarak harus dituntut dulu.</p>
<ul style="margin-top:0;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal">Di dalam surah Ali ‘Imran      ayat 191 ada menyebut tentang kepentingan ilmu syar’ii kemudian ianya      dikuatkan dengan seruan untuk berfikir:</li>
</ul>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in;text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="font-size:24pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;" dir="rtl" lang="AR-EG">الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللّهَ قِيَامًا وَقُعُودًا وَعَلَىَ جُنُوبِهِمْ وَيَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ رَبَّنَا مَا خَلَقْتَ هَذا بَاطِلاً سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ</span><span style="font-size:24pt;line-height:115%;"></span></p>
<ul style="margin-top:0;" type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>Berfikir untuk sejam itu lebih baik daripada      beribadat selama 70 tahun.</span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal"><span>Imam Malik pernah berkata: “Sesiapa yang bertasauf      tetapi tidak bertafaqquh maka dia adalah zindiq. Sesiapa yang bertafaqquh      tetapi tidak bertasauf dia telah fasiq. Sesiapa yang bertafaqquh dan bertasauf,      dia telah sampai satu tahap yang benar </span><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:115%;">(</span><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:115%;font-family:&quot;" dir="rtl" lang="AR-EG">تحقق</span><span style="font-size:14pt;line-height:115%;">).</span></li>
</ul>
<p>bersambung&#8230;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><em>&#8230;A brother requested that I read this article because somehow it projected the same issue that arise in Singapore&#8230; Jazakallah kheiran&#8230;.A HEART AND MIND OPENER </em></p></blockquote>
<p>“Ustaz, can you recommend any ustaz who can attend similarly? Someone like you,” tanya seorang anak muda kepada saya.</p>
<p>“How you define ’someone like me’ <em>tu?” </em>saya bertanya.</p>
<p>“Well, someone with English proficiency and cool like you” ujar beliau.</p>
<p>Saya terdiam seketika.</p>
<p>Cuba mencari-cari reaksi yang betul terhadap permintaan tersebut.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-4319" href="http://rayahiin.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=4319"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4319" title="dscf0648" src="http://saifulislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/dscf0648.jpg" alt="dscf0648" width="448" height="336" /></a></p>
<p><strong>DIALOG ORANG BUKIT</strong></p>
<p>Dari semasa ke semasa, saya menerima jemputan daripada pelbagai pihak untuk hadir ke sesi dialog tertutup bersama sekumpulan anak muda yang mahu belajar tentang Islam. Keunikan program sebegini ialah pada corak pembawaannya yang mungkin sulit untuk digambarkan oleh mereka yang tidak pernah menemuinya.</p>
<p>Program berlangsung dengan Bahasa Inggeris sebagai pengantarnya.</p>
<p>Peserta yang hadir pula, amat kasual penampilan mereka. Ada sekumpulan kecil yang bertudung dan berselendang. Ada juga yang biasa-biasa sahaja. Pakaian santai di hujung minggu.</p>
<p>Biar pun coraknya begitu, suatu keistimewaan yang ada pada setiap mereka yang hadir ialah, keinginan yang tulen untuk belajar tentang Islam. Namun disebabkan oleh latar belakang kehidupan, mereka berasa kekok untuk belajar di saluran biasa. Kekok ke masjid, atau kekok untuk belajar dengan ‘orang masjid’, jika boleh dinyatakan sedemikian rupa.</p>
<p>Cabarannya bukan sahaja pada stail berpakaian. Ia hanya soal sampingan (pasti ada yang tidak menyetujuinya). Akan tetapi, cabaran terbesar yang ada pada mereka adalah stigma pemikiran, idea tentang kekolotan dan kebekuan pemikiran golongan agama yang merimaskan. Justeru mereka menjadi sangat <em>choosy</em>, tidak sewenang-wenangnya hadir ke majlis agama, kerana gangguan <em>preconceive idea</em> itu tadi.</p>
<p><strong>MASYARAKAT PLURALISTIK </strong></p>
<p>Apa sahaja komen anda mengenai situasi ini, anda terpaksa menerima hakikat bahawa sebuah negeri seperti Selangor, mempunyai penduduk yang tinggal di Sungai Gamut dan ada yang tinggal di Sierra Mas. Sebagai pendakwah, akses kepada jurang sosial antara penduduk seperti ini, mendedahkan saya kepada banyak isu yang mencabar minda.</p>
<p>“Well, to be honest with you guys, if English proficiency is considered, then the options are narrowed. How many ustaz or ustazah have or want to communicate in English? Me myself, I really want to find them before you do. Lots of invitation, but as difficult as they are rare,” saya membalas.</p>
<p>“How do you learn you English?” soal salah seorang mereka.</p>
<p>“No pain no gain. 5 years studying in sekolah agama. Many-many years studying in Jordan where 43 out of 46 subjects were in Arabic. When I went to Ireland, even though I had no problem in reading and understanding people… you know the Northern Irish accent, but I did have a serious problem in delivering my talk and conversation in English. What I did was only one… challenge yourself, <em>bertanding dengan diri sendir</em><em>i</em>,” saya mengimbau kenangan lama.</p>
<p>Terkenang kembali rakan adik beradik seperti Bilal dan Abdul Rahman, yang tidak jemu-jemu membetulkan bahasa saya semasa saya bertugas sebagai Imam di Belfast. Mereka yang berbangsa Irish &#8211; Egyptian, suka menahan saya selepas khutbah Jumaat dan mengulas cara saya bercakap serta membetulkan penggunakan perkataan dan sebutan dari semasa ke semasa.</p>
<p>Kesannya besar.</p>
<p>Bahasa Inggeris saya tidaklah sampai menjadi bahasa Shakespeare. Tetapi cukup sekadar saya boleh mengungkapkan apa yang ingin saya sampaikan, dan orang faham apa yang saya perkatakan.</p>
<p>“Another thing, when you say that you want an ustaz or ustazah who is cool, meaning that he or she is not judging you or the way you present yourself and so on, the options are getting smaller and smaller. If English was the issue, perhaps I can suggest you to find some scholars from UIAM but to find someone who also tolerate the so-called dressing code, I’m afraid that things are….  you know what I mean,” saya kehilangan ayat.</p>
<p>“What about you? Why can you but not the others?” tanya salah seorang mereka.</p>
<p>“I don’t know. Perhaps because of what I believe. I believe that dakwah has priority. The sincerity is more to be appreciated. If you are sincere in learning about Islam, then it is my responsibility to respond to that. About the dressing code and all, that is not the priority, at least today,” saya membuat penjelasan.</p>
<p>“Meaning that, sooner or later, you will talk about our dressing code?” soal beliau. Agak provokatif bunyinya.</p>
<p>“Well, I will make you talk to your ownselves about it. Changes should come fr0m within yourself. How we present ourselves is a reflection to our inner feeling and belief. My priority is to enhance the feeling and belief. Not the dressing,” saya menyambung lagi.</p>
<p><strong>BEBAS BERTANYA</strong></p>
<p>Diskusi bersama golongan Melayu Muslim elit ini sangat mencabar. Saya harus menyiapkan diri untuk apa sahaja bentuk soalan. Ada sesetengah soalan yang bunyinya sangat menakutkan bagi sesetengah kita, tetapi saya percaya bahawa <a href="http://saifulislam.com/?p=477" target="_blank">membunuh soalan</a>, akan mengheret ‘agama’ ke gelanggang kalah mati. Mereka bebas bertanya, cuma sedikit sebanyak, pertanyaan itu perlu dipandu agar jelas apa yang dimahukan.</p>
<p>Saya percaya kepada dialog dan dialektik seperti amalan Socrates!</p>
<p>Soalan yang salah, sulit untuk mencungkil jawapan yang betul. Maka ada kalanya, kita juga perlu membetulkan soalan sebelum menawarkan jawapan.</p>
<p>Selepas kami puas bersoal jawab, saya meminta izin untuk berkongsi sesuatu.</p>
<p>Saya akui, usaha untuk mencari ustaz dan ustazah yang berani mencabar diri bercakap di dalam Bahasa Inggeris sudah cukup menimbulkan kesulitan. Tetapi kesulitan sebenar yang dihadapi bukanlah semata-mata masalah bahasa. Ada ramai ustaz dan ustazah yang berkelulusan Masters dan PhD daripada negara seperti UK, USA dan Australia. Mustahil mereka ini tidak boleh berbahasa Inggeris.</p>
<p>Tetapi cabaran yang besar, terletak pada pemikiran.</p>
<p><strong>PEMIKIRAN AGAMAWAN</strong></p>
<p>Pemikiran golongan agama ini yang menjadi isu utamanya. Sikap yang terbit dari pemikiran tersebut menjadikan ramai di kalangan mereka yang gagal untuk memberi reaksi serta penyelesaian, menimbulkan banyak masalah. Sikap suka menghukum, gagal menilai di antara masalah yang kelihatan (<em>presenting problem</em>) berbanding masalah sebenar (<em>real problem</em>), kurang empati dalam berdakwah dan <em>superiority attitude</em> yang tidak seiring dengan kualiti dan pengaruh, hanya menambahkan kebencian ramai anggota masyarakat kepada golongan agama.</p>
<p>Kekhuatiran saya memuncak hingga terigau dengan bayangan bagaimana satu hari ini (mungkin sudah sampai harinya), golongan agama dipandang oleh masyarakat kita sebagaimana masyarakat Eropah memandang ahli gereja mereka. Golongan agama adalah <em>blood clot</em> yang menyumbat, tersumbat, dan tidak ada apa-apa peranan kecuali menyusahkan lagi merimaskan.</p>
<p>Tetapi, golongan ‘moden’ yang rimas dengan ustaz dan ustazah juga, tidak boleh meletakkan sepenuh ‘kesalahan’ ke atas golongan agama seperti ini.</p>
<p>Mengapa?</p>
<p>Diskusi saya dan anak muda pagi itu berterusan lagi…</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-4320" href="http://rayahiin.wordpress.com/?attachment_id=4320"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4320" title="dsc_1759" src="http://saifulislam.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/dsc_1759.jpg" alt="dsc_1759" width="448" height="298" /></a></p>
<p><strong>SALAH SENDIRI</strong></p>
<p>“All the so-called brainy children were sent to study medicine, engineering etc. In 1980’s and 1990’s, it was not a popular option for someone who has the qualification to study law and economy, choose Islamic Studies. Me myself, I suffered a lot from the perception of the people around me, guys! <em>Oh, balik nanti jadi kadi ya, oh balik nanti jadi bilal ye!</em> Those things killed me from inside. But I know what I want. I have no regret in letting go all other opportunities but Islamic Studies,” saya meneruskan cerita.</p>
<p>Bayangkan.</p>
<p>Jika Pengajian Islam menerima pelajar yang tidak berkualiti, bagaimanakah bentuk kepimpinan Islam yang bakal dihasilkan nanti? Andai badan-badan yang memperjuangkan idea-idea janggal dipimpin oleh golongan profesional yang mempunyai kelayakan pendidikan yang tinggi, siapa pula yang mewakili suara Islam? Golongan yang mengaji tahap <em>maqbul </em>diberi amanah membela agama, di hadapan golongan ‘intelektual’ berpendidikan paling tinggi. Golongan intelek pula terikat dengan seribu satu AKU JANJI. Maka yang mewakili suara Islam di peringkat akar umbi, disinggung dengan mudah oleh golongan <em>bla bla bla</em> yang berkelulusan tinggi itu.</p>
<p>Memang jadi fitnah kepada agama!</p>
<p><strong>HANTAR ANAK SENDIRI</strong></p>
<p>“So, you cannot complaint about the quality of the Islamic voice today, because Islam has become the victim of our own choice. We choose to let the brainy guys learn about machines, and we let the Islamic leadership inherited by the under-qualified students. <em>Ini semua hasil kerja kita sendir</em>i. We eat what we produce!”, saya sedikit kepanasan.</p>
<p>“So, if you believe that current ustaz and ustazah are hard to fit your expectation, then the best thing is to send your own children, your own brothers and sisters to learn Islamic Studies. Or even YOU! Let those English spoken Malay society from Damansara, Sierra Mas and Bukit Jelutong send their own people to learn about Islam. They will be the future ustaz and ustazah who can appreciate their own background. As for someone like me, believe me… it is a huge struggle for someone like me who came from a kampung, to understand people like you!” saya berterus terang.</p>
<p>Nasihat yang sama pernah saya berikan kepada komuniti Irish Muslim semasa di Belfast dahulu.</p>
<p>Mereka mengeluh tentang imam-imam berbangsa Arab dan Pakistan yang memimpin komuniti yang amat pluralistik dengan cara yang hanya sesuai dengan persekitaran Arab Saudi dan Pakistan. Jika mereka benar-benar mahukan seorang Imam yang faham akan kehendak dan keperluan persekitaran di Eropah, <strong>mereka harus sanggup melaburkan anak sendiri</strong>!</p>
<p>Hantar anak mereka belajar tentang Islam supaya 10 tahun akan datang, mereka ini akan memimpin masyarakat mereka sendiri.</p>
<p><strong>BELAJAR DARI SEMUA</strong></p>
<p>“And one more thing, if you are sincere with the intention to learn about Islam, you should also have the courage to learn not only from someone you like or you feel comfortable with, but also from someone from the opposite. When I was a student, I learnt a lot from my favourite scholars, but also from my worst nightmare kind of ulama. But it’s me the one who should decide what is suitable for my need,” saya mahu segera melangsaikan perbincangan.</p>
<p>“Remember what Confucius said: Learning without thinking is useless. Thinking without learning is dangerous. If you have many things in your mind, then make sure that you also have the courage to learn from you best ustaz and from the worst. Tak boleh manja-manja!” saya menamatkan diskusi.</p>
<p>Kepala saya sakit semasa pulang daripada pertemuan itu.</p>
<p>Namun saya amat menghargai peluang sebegitu kerana saya sendiri dapat belajar banyak daripadanya.</p>
<p>Wahai pendakwah, masyarakat sudah berubah, anda bila lagi?</p>
