My mum always told be to number one,

But now I know it’s okay to be the rest, and have some fun.

Cause when you shoot for the moon you’ll 

just land by the stars,

And yet the stars are more shiny and smoother than mars.

You know I have one million advice

to give you, but it doesn’t matter does it, if I don’t do what I do

We all know people who can chirp tweet and talk,

But how many people do we know that can do,

walk the talk?

I had a stable job that pays me money,

But fuck that, I am far from happy.

You know why? It’s because I didn’t 

enjoy what I do, It’s not what I do is bad

its just not fulfilling

as much as writing and cursing,

and not making people feel sad.

Money isn’t everything in life it doesn’t make you feel happy,

But a smile would , so why not give one for free?

This is true. We try to give our advice to some people, but somehow it does not work because we don’t go through that thing.

When I was in college, I was an idealist. I am a different person from the rest, I am able to influence people, I can change the world. Heck, the motto of my college is Why not change the world? That further strengthen my idealist nature and prosper me on to be better at what I do, excel in my education and come out a catalyst for change, a reformer. 

Yet another characteristic of mine is that I am observant. I realize that people who have gone through my stage, shown promise of change and immense potential to fix the world, have all faded away, diluted into the society once they graduate. They just settle, and blend in. The result, nothing changes, the ills and disparity of the society remains the same, and the brilliant minds became conditioned to the normal wants of a normal person: career, family, property, survival. 

Nothing of the word change came about and the status quo remains. How do we solve this problem? I do not blame them for settling. You need to keep the fire lighted up, but reality is you need to bring food to the table. And the latter, is much more urgent. So, we refocused our energy to ourselves, keeping our goals and ideals at the bottom of our to do lists, and the truth is, we never got to the bottom of the list where we realized our college ideals.

I recently graduated, and I will become diluted. I will focus my energy to myself and for myself, and the ideas to fix or at least close down the disparity of the social enigma and cultural restraints, will die. Why? because I am forced to. When your survival depends on your own hard work, you tend to be selfish about it. And this is where the problem lies. 

Before you go on to change the world, you must change yourself. And before you go on to change yourself, you need the capacity and ability to do it. And to do that, you must be comfortable in life, and not working for survival. This is why college idealism dies, and this is the phase where an idealist me, becomes a realists me.

An old Italian gentleman lived alone in New  Jersey .  He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard.  His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament: 

 Dear Vincent,  I am feeling pretty sad because it looks like I won’t be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I’m just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days.  Love,  Papa  

A few days later he received a letter from his son. 

Dear Papa,   Don’t dig up that garden. That’ s where the bodies are buried.  Love,  Vinnie

At 4 a.m. The next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left.  That same day the old man received another letter from his son.  

Dear Papa,  Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now.  That’s the best I could do under the circumstances.  Love you, Vinnie

This is happiness. I am beaming inside, I see the world full of smiles instead of sorrow, I see babies everywhere with the sign of hope, I just see the world as a welcoming place.

I feel content. Although I do not have money, I feel that I have enough to carry on living and suddenly money does not matter. I feel that the feeling I am experiencing right now is so much more than the money.

I got what I wanted. Maybe that is happiness. temporary or permanent, that is for the future to decide. But now, I am waking up smiling.

selepas kesusahan pasti ada kesenangan.

maybe the pursuit is temporarily halted. 

I am a Muslim. It is my an obligation for me to swallow hudud as it is and support it to the bones. But as I would like to force it down, my thinking stops me. Deliberate,or not, the implementation of hudud scares me.

It is draconian, people loose their hands and people loose their lives because of crimes, that to me, isn’t punishable to that extend. Before you conservatives start to pound me left right and center, allow me to state my case.

It will deter probable future defenders, but it would also deter people to Islam. By looking at the hudud part of Islam as a reflection of the whole religion, our multicultural and diverse society would not understand it. And they would shine away from the whole religion itself. That would make our propagation and explanation harder.

Instead of focusing on that part of Islam, let’s focus on the bridge that connects us together: liberty, the struggle for the truth, justice and tolerance. These are both accepted values for muslims and non muslims alike. From then on, we can work on our differences and come to a mutual understanding, or a peaceful disagreement.

That should be the basis of dakwah.

Only then on, after that basis is covered, only then we can work out on hudud, for at that moment, people like me, and other non muslims could see the point hudud would make in the society: where in a peaceful, just and tolerant government, hudud would be a just law and a perfect solution for the ills of the society during that time.

But, at this moment, I have to say no on the basis that implementing it would only bring more misunderstanding towards Islam and the muslims, and that would beat the spirit of hudud itself.

Allah knows best.

Hidup ini adalah perjuangan

perlu bermatlamat, harus dirancangkan

Seperti mata air ke laut,

ataupun benih ke matahari

tujuannya harus gagah

tapi jalannya harus meniti

sedikit demi sedikit

rintang demi rintangan

janjinya sedikit itu berisi

dan pasti

ke tujuan yang diidami.
