Leadership or "Leagnorance"?

Bismillah. In the name of Allah The Most Loving, The Most Merciful. Its been a long time since i wrote my last writing. So pardon me if i get a little 'awky' over here. haha. So here's the thing, recently i've drown myself in my own mind and conversing with the inner self. To be truth, the leaders nowadays has been the reason for my situation.. 

Sadly to realize that leaders or leaders-to-be nowadays are not based on leadership, but arrogance and ignorance. (Sebabtu leagnorance. Perkataan sendiri :P ) This is the kind that either look down on people who have nothing or people who have everything that they dont have. They'll end up at either one dilemma. They will not give space to others to step up and reveal their talents. And ive witnessed it myself and this is the sad truth that is happening especially among the muslims. Why this happens? You know why? Because they lead to get a title but not for the sake of Allah.

Back to basic.

Yes. That's the only thing we have to do. We go back to basic. Prophet Muhammad is the best leader. He is the perfect example. He is our home, refer to him on how to be a leader. Speaking in front of the public doesnt give you the right to oppress people's talents and ideas. or to be rude to anyone's weaknesses. For the record, to this kind of leaders, you may achieve all that you want, but you missed one point here. Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w) didnt teach us to become leaders merely. But he teaches morality. He came to teach morality. Because you know why? Only with morality, you can become a leader. Only with the truest and purest intention for Allah, you will lead in the right way. Honestly you dont have to chase leadership. Just by having a good heart and intention, leadership will chase you. Allah will spread your heart to world wallahi. If you do it for Him genuinely. 


I give you one perfect example for this case. During the time of Prophet (s.a.w), at one period the call of prayers for muslims and the jews was the same which was the sound of bell. So this had become an issue because it created confusion for them. Which is for muslims and which is for the jews? So Prophet s.a.w thought they need to change the call of prayers. And so one sahabat came to him and said 'O Prophet, ive dreamt about a poem for the call of prayers'. When Prophet s.a.w heard it, he agreed and make it as our official call of prayers. Up until now. Whats the wisdom behind this story? Prophet s.a.w accepted the opinion of others and in fact apply it. But he is the leaderrrr. Leader of mankinddd. Why? You know why? Because he didnt led for himself, for a title. He leads for Allah. So whatever that is good for the ummah he accepted it. This is how we should lead. May Allah reset our hearts and polish it as white as it can be. I hope my plain words here will be beneficial for us. :) Assalamu'alaykum. p/s i do not point this out to any relatives,friends, or family. i am saying this as a member of community (and its a hobby kinda thingy :3 )

The Prostitute Who Entered Jannah - Yang Rafyiqa

Have you ever come across the story of the prostitute who gave water to a dog and because of that deed, she entered Jannah.? Many many times I reflect on this story and its actually change my lens on how I see people around me. Long enough that its in my head but I’m finally pouring it into writings. Have you ever think why in many professions or personality,   Allah would chose a prostitute in this story? You know, it could be a poor woman who sell bread, or an old lady who gardens, or a garbage man, or a shepherd. But still, Allah chose a prostitute. Why?   In our world nowadays, we are prone to judge people based on how we see things that are potrayed in front of our sights. And that just it. We see things that is haram and we say ‘this person is going to hell’. Well what more for a prostitute? Can you imagine? It is the filthiest job that a person could have. This lady literally sell her body to earn money, this haram is not a small thing, not a sin that a muslim would usua

‘There will always be someone better than you but there is no one that can be you’ – unknown

‘There will always be someone better than you but there is no one that can be you’ – unknown             Folks, do you get the point here? Try to read it again. ‘There will always be someone better than you but there is no one that can be you.’ To establish yourself, you need to find yourself, find your way, find what you love and work your heart out of it. Find your originality, and strive for it. And everyone is allowed to dream big. You can be at the top but maybe, just maybe, you are not the only one at the top. You know what I mean? While climbing up remember to humble down. And the ultimate truth is that there will always, always someone that is better than you, than me, than us. We just can’t resist this reality. If you think that you’re rich, there is always someone who is richer than you. If you think you’re beautiful, there is always someone who is more beautiful than you. If you think you are intelligent, there is always someone who is more intelligent than you. Be

Muhammad, The Complete Man.

Assalamualaikum, may all of us always be under the protection of Allah s.w.t.  On 27th April 2014, i attended a heroes conference in IIUM that brought up a talk about Muhammad s.a.w, The Complete Man. It was held for the whole day from 9.am to 10 p.m. And wallahi i've never felt so much content as i felt on that day. Everything about Prophet Muhammad s.a.w really enlightened me. I had the chance to know every detail about Prophet Muhammad s.a.w in a day! And what i can learn is that we really need to know everything about our prophet so that we realize that attitude and sincerity are our platform in life. If you want to know how noble is the status of Islam, study about our Prophet, study the vision of sahabah. study the wife of the prophet. They really potray the value of humanity. Lets ponder upon the wisdom words from the conference. By Sheikh Waleed Abdul Hakeem : House of the Prophet. -   You should live with postive people, so that you will be positive. -
