Last Post for Today, I Swear.



Regardless of your thoughts on homosexuality, this is the best family moment I've seen on TV.

Best Glee quote of that episode: Place looks great.

Memang sengal soalan kau sebab lansung takde kene mengena ngan post.

But back to the question. Aku punya first impression bila baca orang post status macam tu adalah, "Wow, this guy's a douche."

Sebab kalau dia kata ni adalah cara berda'wah, apa beza kalau dia tinggalkan Quran terbukak?
Ada orang kata kalau bagi orang yang tak terbukak lagi hati dia baca ayat Quran banyak-banyak nanti terbukak la hati dia tu. Jadi, kita bomb facebook ngan I love Allah and random Quran quotes. Gila manipulative.

Jadi, apa motif orang post status cam ni? Kalau aku post quotes from great people it's partly that I want to share the message and partly because I want people to know I'm well read. It's part of human nature. Well, part of my nature in any case.

Jadi, berdasarkan tingkahlaku aku sendiri, aku mendeduksikan bahawasanya orang yang post status camtu, at least 10% of his intentions is for people to recognize that he's alim, that he reads quran everyday and not only that, he knows what every line means and that's why he could post it.

This reminds me of a Hadith Qudsi, which basically had these two souls yang baru mati gi jumpa Tuhan. First soul cakap, "Dude, I died in war for You. I fight for Your name. I showed the infidels that You are God."
God said, "Say what? You fought because you want people to say that you're brave and skillful. You want people to say oh, he's willing to die for his religion. He's so cool. But noooooo, I know better. Hasta la vista, bebeh, you're going to Hell."

Second soul pulak dengan penuh confidentnye cakap, "Wassap Man? Aku dulu baca Quran banyak banyak. Belajar tauhid, belajar fiqh seterer yang mungkin. Aku debat ngan tok cha ngan paderi, aku selalu menang dan berjaya tunjukkan yang Islam itu benar. Aku memang suka Islamlah. You're the bestest lah, God."
God said, "Oh, really? So, come right in, go into Heaven. NOT! You studied those things so that people would say, 'oooh, he's so wise. Ooooh he's so alim. Ooooh he's so holy.' For Me? Screw you, dude. You're going to be barbecue meat for the rest of your eternal life, dawg."

Ada satu lagi Hadith Qudsi yang aku agak suka yang maybe ada kena mengena maybe tak.

So, this one dude. He's dying. He's a bastard in life. He lied, he cheated, he whored. He basically did everything you aren't supposed to do. He's one fucked-up dude, to say the least. On his deathbed, he told his sons to burn his body, crush the remains and scatter the ashes in the sea. He died. They did.

His soul was brought up to God. God was like, "Duuuuuuuuuuuude, you're one sick man, man. One question, though, why did you tell your sons to do that?"
"You kiddin' me, Man?" said the sinner. "You know how afraid I am of Your Judgment? I mean, thinking about you made my balls jump up my body so high, I could lick them."
God then said, "Dude, welcome to Heaven, maaaaan."

Obviously, these are not the exact wordings, but the gist is there.

These hadiths, I think, is trying to show that the measure of faith is not in what you say or what you do, rather, it's in what you believe. Third dude believed in God's wrath so much, he's the paragon of Faith.

Pada pendapat akulah, kalau nak berdakwah dengan lebih effektif ialah dengan mixing with those people you want to dakwah with. Uphold the Islamic value tapi jangan push with words. Kalau nak kata Islam tu benar dengan guna ayat Quran kat orang yang tak baca Quran, apa beza ngan sesetengah orang Kristian yang nak buktikan Jesus is God by quotes from the Bible?

Jadi dengan ini aku dah kompius apakah point aku. Aku akhirkan dengan berkata bahawa ini adalah pendapat aku, aku tak kata pendapat orang lain salah, tak jugak kata bahawa pendapat aku adalah the Universal Truth. Aku kata bahawa pendapat aku adalah pendapat aku.
