Mengapa Disesatkan

Hey guys. How are you? Man, I sure am glad that I got some ideas and also some time to write in my blog. It's been awhile since I get quite a number of ideas to write here. Yet, pity me, I don't have that much time now. So, let's continue with the post for today. Actually, idea to write about 'Mengapa Disesatkan' came from a friend's question. His question sounded something like this, "Sebab apa Allah sesatkan Dajjal eh? Macam kesian. Takleh bertaubat." I was kind of pissed at that question. Macam, "Apahal tanya benda-benda gini? Allah tahulah apa yang nak dibuat." But then I thought that will not be a very good answer. And I believe that he doesn't mean to challenge Allah's judgement or what, he's just asking a question straight from his heart. So, it's my turn to look for the answer with all my heart too.

p/s:Please take note that I'm using a tafseer by Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik and also one by Dr Ahmad Hatta.

A good answer(just my opinion) for Muslims who might be asking why Allah lets some people go astray and guide some others are these verses from Al-Quran:

"He that seeks guidance,shall be guided to his own advantage, but he that goes astray does so to his own loss."   Al-Isra' ; 15

"Dan orang kafir berkata: Mengapa tidak diturunkan kepada Muhammad satu mukjizat dari Tuhannya? Katakanlah: Sesungguhnya Allah menyesatkan sesiapa yang dikehendakiNya, dan memberi petunjuk kepada sesiapa yang merujuk(kembali) kepadaNya."   Ar-Ra'd ; 27

These verses showed that Allah guides people who seeks His guidance and lets some of the people go astray because they are the ones who do not turn to Him. Jadi, tidak ada lagi perkataan "Kesianlah diorang takleh bertaubat." Allah memberi peluang kepada mereka untuk bertaubat mahupun untuk beriman tapi mereka yang menolak. Cuba baca sendiri kisah syaitan yang menolak perintah Allah yang menyuruhnya bersujud kepada Nabi Adam. Setelah itu Allah menghalaunya dari syurga dan syaitan pula telah meminta untuk dipanjangkan umur untuk menyesatkan anak-anak Adam. Cuba fikirkan, jika syaitan benar-benar ingin bertaubat dan tidak sombong, Jaw yakin dia sendiri akan memohon keampunan daripada Allah dan bukan dengan sombongnya meminta dipanjangkan umur untuk menentang Allah. Sesungguhnya Allah juga yang Maha Mengetahui.*I heard that syaitan was given the second chance to repent but since I'm not sure of the source, I won't write it here. If any of the readers have info on this, please share it with me.*

"Maka sepatutnya ada di antara umat-umat yang telah dibinasakan dahulu daripada kamu itu, orang-orang yang berkelebihan akal fikiran, yang melarang kaumnya dari perbuatan-perbuatan jahat di muka bumi tetapi sayang! Tidak ada yang melarang melainkan sedikit sahaja, iaitu orang-orang yang Kami telah selamatkan di antara mereka. Dan orang-orang itu yang tidak melarang itu telah menitikberatkan segala kemewahan yang diberikan kepada mereka dan menjadilah mereka orang-orang yang berdosa.

Dan Tuhanmu tidak sesekali hendak membinasakan mana-mana negeri dengan sebab kezaliman penduduknya, selagi mereka sentiasa memperbaiki keadaan sesama sendiri.

Dan kalaulah Tuhanmu(wahai Muhammad) menghendaki, tentulah Ia menjadikan manusia semua menurut ugama yang satu. (Tetapi Ia tidak berbuat demikian) dan kerana itulah mereka terus berselisihan.

Tetapi orang-orang yang telah diberi rahmat oleh Tuhanmu(mereka bersatu di dalam ugama Allah); dan untuk (perselisihan dan rahmat) itulah Allah menjadikan manusia. Dan dengan yang demikian sempurnalah janji Tuhanmu: Sesungguhnya Aku akan memenuhi neraka Jahannam dengan sekalian jin dan manusia(yang berdosa)."  
Hud ;116-119

Verse 116;Hud shows that there are many brilliant guys in a community but very few of them ask others to do good. Next verse shows that Allah does not destroy anyone as long as they continue to improve their deeds. The verse after it then shows that Allah can make all human follow the Right Way but He did not and that's why we keep differing*the reason behind this is given in the next verse*. In the tafseer by Farooq-i Azam, he translated the verse of Hud;119 like this ";and that very freedom of choice and action is the whole purpose of their(human) creation;" It shows that Allah created mankind with the freedom of choice and that's why He didn't make all human follow the the Right Way. If they choose Islam, it's to their own good. If they choose others, it's to their own loss. Basically, Allah does not simply make "He's Muslim, He's Christian" but Allah gave us the choice. We may be born with religion other than Islam, but we have the choice to be a Muslim. Although, Allah is the only one who can shows us the right way if we sincerely look for guidance. The main thing is, when people call us to the right way, we have to sincerely listen to them and may Allah guides us to the right way.

"Bagi orang yang menyahut seruan Tuhan mereka sahajalah  balasan yang baik; dan orang yang tidak menyahut seruanNya, kalaulah mereka mempunyai segala apa jua yang ada di bumi disertai dengan sebanyak itu lagi, tentulah mereka rela menebus diri dengannya. Mereka itu disediakan baginya hitungan hisab yang buruk, serta tempat kembali mereka ialah neraka Jahannam; dan amatlah buruknya tempat tinggal itu."  
Ar Ra'd ; 18

Alhamdulillah. I managed to finish this post after a few weeks of looking for info and sincerely hope it will make my friends realize that Allah does not simply make someone a Muslim nor a Christian or any other religions. Allah gave us the choice but we are the one who need to look for guidance first. InshaAllah the Right Way will be shown to us. I also hope that my post will answer the question of why Allah makes Dajjal/syaitan/mankind go astray and guides some others. Please leave comments here if you think there are some things that needs to be repaired with this post and forgive me for the lackings. Thanks for reading. Chiao.

Ambitions

Hi guys. Sashiburi dana minna(It's been a while everyone). Finally I get to update this blog. Sorry for leaving it un-updated for so long. I actually have no idea on what to update and also due to time constrain. Today, I'll write a bit about ambitions. No need to explain what ambition is, I'm sure all of you know what it means.

'Apahal pulak mamat ni nak tulis pasal karangan bebudak ni haa' is what you might be thinking right now. Sebenarnya, bebaru ni Jaw baru sedar mengenai pentingnya ada cita-cita ni. Like, reallyX99 important. At first I thought it was like,'Naa,it's okay if I don't have ambition,I'll take whatever I can and think of that later.' But now, I'm like, 'Aku kena cecepat cari cita-cita,cepat,cepat,cepat....aaaaarrrrrr.' Thank God, I managed to find it which is, ada la(poyo je..ngeh3). Melalut dah ni, poin di sini adalah, CITA-CITA TU PENTING!!

Anyway, why do I stress that ambition is important? Here are the reasons. First, without ambitions, your young adult life will have a big problem and may cause you depression and to the extreme case, you might be in the psychiatric ward*please take note that this is the truth and I'm not exaggerating*. x(  Want that? Of course not. You see, I have some friends with this kind of problem. So let me tell a story that have been told by someone to me. There's a medical student in a university and his problem before he got into medical school is, he does not know what his ambition is. Jadinya, disebabkan mengikut kata-kata ahli keluarga dan juga disebabkan merasa keputusan peperiksaan dia bagus, diambillah akan dia kursus perubatan. Nak dipendekkan cerita, kawan ni hilang semangat nak belajar sebab medik bukanlah minatnya. Dia paksa juga untuk meneruskan medik dan akhirnya dia telah dimasukkan ke wad psychiatric sebab ada masalah mental*not that severe though,Alhamdulillah*. Don't want this to happen to you? Then think of an ambition.

Final reason, according to Maslow's Hierarchy of Need,(below)

the one thing we need for growth*bukan pembesaran badan ya,tapi proses kematangan* is self-actualisation. So what is considered as the things needed for self-actualisation? Some examples are challenging projects which need you to be really creative, some problem solving thingies and that kind of things. They are considered as high level learning which gives you satisfaction after giving your all in doing something. So, to get self-actualisation, you really need to know what your ambition is. Without knowing it, you might be doing something that gives you no satisfaction until you're old and maybe till you're dead*kesian mati tak puas XD*. When you know you're ambition, you'll get the motivation and when you get the motivation, you'll do your best. That way, you'll get self-actualisation which will blooms your flower*mematangkan anda*. Want to live your potential? Then find your ambition.

Before I end this post, let me ask you something. Do you have an ambition or maybe ambitions? If you don't, then please find one or a few. Since it used to be really hard for me to find my ambition, now that I've got it, I'll tell you what I did to find mine. First, I tried looking for something I really love to do. Sesuatu yang bila Jaw buat, Jaw tak bosan, tak letih dan boleh melakukannya dengan berterusan. Secondly, I looked at what is my interest. I am really interested with something related to Biology, therefore I've decided after SPM and after foundation, no matter what happens, I will only further my studies with something related to Biology. Quite a large scope yet I managed to narrow it to smaller scale didn't I? You can do it to. Lastly, ask the God. As a muslim, I asked Allah by praying to Him to help me make the right choice. Praying to God is very important. Let me tell you why I say that, I have a friend who really wants to further studies in something*can't remember what* and somehow!!! Somehow, she changed her application to architecture on the last day and submitted it. She got the architecture course and at first she regrets it because it is way out of what she wanted to be but now, she is really happy with it. You see, this Invicible factor is really important. For me, as the creation of the Almighty God, He knows what is the best for us, we don't and that's why we need to pray for His guidance.

" ;dan boleh jadi kamu membenci sesuatu padahal ia baik bagi kamu, dan boleh jadi kamu menyukai sesuatu padahal ia buruk bagi kamu. Dan(ingatlah), Allah jualah yang mengetahui sedang kamu tidak mengetahuinya." Al-Baqarah;216

That's all for this post. If you benefited from this post, thank God. If you don't, then please do not hate me as I'm just a humble writer. Be sure to wait for another post. See ya. Chiao.

Jaw or Lonymous?

Hey guys. My first update after a few months. Not very important, just want to declare a few things about my blog.

First, this is still the same blog as 'What I Wrought'. I only changed it to a new name which is 'Jaw's Tales'.

Second, I changed the url to a new one too, 'www.jawstale.blogspot.com'.

Lastly, I declare the name Lonymous will not be used in this blog anymore. Jaw is my new nickname.

So, why Jaw? A simple explanation. My new friends, especially the Kelantanese usually call me Jaw, that's how they say Raja in their slang. What about Tales? Simple too. What I write here are my tales, that's all. No need for me to say more. See ya, be sure to read the next update all right. Chow.
