Kalimah Allah

1. Allah ialah Tuhan Yang Maha Esa.

2. Kalimah Allah digunakan dalam semua agama samawi sebagai kalimah Tuhan Yang Tunggal, Tuhan Yang Maha Esa, tiada yang layak disembah melainkan Dia.

3. Tiada halangan bagi bukan Islam untuk menggunakan kalimah Allah dari segi hukumnya. Begitu juga dengan perkataan-perkataan ibadah umat Islam yang lain.

4. Penggunaan kalimah Allah bagi bukan Islam perlu dilihat dari segi aspek sosio-budaya dan maslahah umum. Penggunaan yang membawa kepada terjejasnya maslahah umum adalah tidak dibenarkan. Kita tahu, kalimah Allah telah pun digunakan secara spesifik oleh penganut bukan Islam, tapi penggunaannya tidak mengganggu atau menjejaskan maslahah umum. Penggunaannya mestilah dalam makna yang sebenarnya dan bukan dengan maksud yang boleh menyentuh perasaan umat Islam.

5. Saya menyokong pendirian PAS & bekas Mufti Perlis dalam isu ini.

6. Saya menyalahkan kerajaan UMNO yang tidak mengamalkan ajaran syariah ALLAH sepenuhnya (dan tidak pernah mencuba untuk mengamalkannya pun). Ketidak patuhan ini membuka ruang untuk cabar-mencabar & bereaksi secara negatif, seperti kes kalimah Allah yang berlaku di mahkamah sekarang. Bagaimana ianya berkait? Pengamalan syariah Islam akan meningkatkan rasa peka masyarakat terhadap apa yang baik sebenar-benar baik & berpahala serta apa yang jahat sebenar-benar jahat & berdosa. Maka tindak balas reaktif yang negatif dapat dihindari dari isu-isu kontroversi seperti ini. Implementasi syariah Islamiyyah melalui pengamalan undang-undang Islam mampu mengawal cabar-cabar seperti ini.

7. Allah tidak menjadikan sesuatu itu sia-sia sahaja. Apa yang berlaku ini ada hikmahnya. Namun kita tidaklah dituntut untuk memfokuskan diri mencari hikmah sesuatu perkara semata-mata. Kita dituntut menyampaikan kebenaran, berdakwah menyeru sekalian manusia ke arah Islam yang sebenar-benarnya.

Review of the decade


We look back at the drama and excitement of a memorable decade for the Premier League.

The Noughties proved to be a stunning success for the Premier League which went from strength to strength.
With ever-improving facilities and an influx of top stars from across the globe, the game has become more popular than ever.
The likes of Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and many more have captured the imagination of fans the world over.
The standard is now higher than ever, the game more exciting than at any time in its history - and the next 10 years look likely to be even better.
The decade ended as it began - with Manchester United reigning supreme as Premier League champions.
2000
Manchester United went into the new millennium in second spot behind Leeds but came good to win the title in 2000 with an enormous 18-point margin over runners-up Arsenal and scoring 97 goals in the process.
Even new £10.5m signing Thierry Henry couldn't keep the Gunners in the chase. Leeds finished third while Chelsea beat Aston Villa 2-0 to win the last FA Cup final at the old Wembley stadium.
The year saw the demise of fairytale club Wimbledon who joined the Football League in 1977 and took just nine years to reach the top flight.
They were relegated 12 years to the day since beating Liverpool to win the FA Cup. A 2-0 final-day defeat at Southampton saw them take the drop instead of Bradford City.
The Bantams survived on the last day of the campaign thanks to a 1-0 win over Liverpool who missed out on a Champions League spot as a result.
Also relegated were Sheffield Wednesday and newly-promoted Watford with 24 points, then a Premier League record low total.
2000/01
Sir Alex Ferguson's men won the 2000/01 FA Carling Premiership title by 10 points from their fierce rivals Arsenal to become the first team to take the crown three years in a row.
The United manager said: "This is the toughest league in the world and winning three in a row is something special. Perhaps we're like a great artist whose work is only really appreciated with the passing of time."
To their fans, their triumph was made all the sweeter as neighbours Manchester City were relegated in their first season back in the top flight.
They finished third from bottom, eight points behind Derby County to go down alongside Bradford City who equalled Swindon Town's unwanted record low number of wins with just five.
Also taking the drop were Premier League founder members Coventry City after 34 years in the top flight.
Chelsea striker Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink finished as the leading marksman in the FA Carling Premiership with 23 goals, four more than Marcus Stewart of Ipswich Town.
Tipped for relegation before the season started, the Tractor Boys stunned even their own fans by emerging as unlikely challengers for a Champions League spot. They eventually finished fifth, qualifying for the UEFA Cup for the first time since 1982. Manager George Burley was voted "Manager of the Year" for the achievement.
Liverpool finished third, just ahead of Champions League semi-finalists Leeds United who broke the English transfer record when they signed Rio Ferdinand from West Ham United for £18m.
Matthew Le Tissier scored the last ever goal at The Dell as Southampton beat Arsenal 3-2 before moving to St Mary's.
2001/02
With a new sponsor, the Barclaycard Premiership saw a shift in power as Arsenal lifted the title after three successive seasons as runners-up.
Fired by Thierry Henry's 24 goals (one more than Hasselbaink and Shearer), the Gunners won 13 matches in a row to finish seven points ahead of nearest challengers Liverpool. They became the first side to score in every Premier League match, remaining unbeaten away from home.
In a moment of sweet irony, Arsene Wenger's Double winners clinched the crown with a 1-0 win at Old Trafford of all places.
Despite a nine-match winning run, Manchester United finished only third after winning just six of their opening 15 matches, a run which saw them slip to ninth at one stage - although they did stage a memorable fight-back to win 5-3 at Tottenham Hotspur after being 3-0 down at the break.
All three promoted sides (Blackburn Rovers, Bolton Wanderers and Fulham) stayed up - for the first time ever in the Premier League.
Instead Ipswich were relegated just a year after qualifying for the UEFA Cup and seeing Burley take the Manager of the Year prize.
With just one win from the opening 18 matches, their fate seemed sealed. But a run of six victories in seven matches lifted them to 12th place and possible safety. However, a second loss of form, culminating in a 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool on the last day of the season, sent the Tractor Boys down along with Leicester City and Derby County who lost seven of their final eight fixtures.
2002/03
Stung by their slip and buoyed by the British record signing of Rio Ferdinand from Leeds for £30m, Manchester United regained the Barclaycard Premiership crown finishing five points clear of the Gunners.
Arsenal had looked odds-on to retain their title as they led the league by eight points in March but Sir Alex Ferguson's men came up strongly on the rails, not losing a match after their 3-1 Boxing Day defeat by Middlesbrough.
By 3rd May, the Red Devils were nine points clear of their London rivals whose cause was lost the following day thanks to a 3-2 reverse at the hands of Leeds who secured safety in the process.
Arsene Wenger's men did have the consolation of retaining the FA Cup, beating Southampton 1-0 at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.
Sunderland finished bottom with just 19 points - a new Premier League record low. They were joined through the trapdoor by newly-promoted West Bromwich Albion.
The final relegation place went to luckless West Ham United who went down with 42 points - the highest tally for a relegated side under the 20-club format.
Peter Schmeichel - now with Manchester City - brought down the curtain on his illustrious career while City themselves called time on their Maine Road home, losing 1-0 at home to Southampton before their move to the City of Manchester Stadium.
2003/04
The following campaign proved a landmark in the history of the Premier League as Arsenal's "Invincibles" claimed the crown - without losing a single match.
With Henry banging in 30 of his side's 73 goals and the defence shipping just 26, the Gunners became the first team since Preston North End in 1889 to go the entire season unbeaten in the league.
They clinched the title with four matches to spare, thanks to a 2-2 draw at the home of local rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
Arsene Wenger's side finished 11 points clear of Chelsea whose new owner Roman Abramovich had spent £100m in pursuit of the crown.
Manchester United were third after losing David Beckham to Real Madrid for £25m - replacing him with then unknown winger Cristiano Ronaldo from Sporting Lisbon.
The Red Devils had the consolation of defeating Millwall in the FA Cup final after beating Arsenal in the semi-finals.
Leeds United's financial problems caught up with them as they were relegated with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City - all on 33 points. Everton survived, finishing fourth from bottom.
2004/05
Chelsea's massive investment paid off as they won what was now the Barclays Premiership.
With flamboyant character Jose Mourinho at the helm, the Blues racked up a new Premier League record total of 95 points.
The self-declared Special One breezed in saying before the season: "We have top players and, sorry if I'm arrogant, we have a top manager."
He made actions speak as loud as his words as the most expensive team ever (costing an estimated £250m) conceded just 15 goals and won 29 matches - also new records.
They lost just once - to a Nicolas Anelka penalty at Manchester City. The title was secured with a 2-0 win at Bolton on 30th April.
The relegation battle was the closest ever in the Premier League. Going into the final day of the campaign, no-one had gone down and four clubs were battling to avoid the three places through the trapdoor.
West Bromwich Albion defied the "Christmas curse" by becoming the first team to stay up after being bottom of the table on Christmas Day.
They beat Portsmouth 2-0 to survive at the expense of Norwich City, Crystal Palace and Southampton.
Despite selling Wayne Rooney to Manchester United, Everton finished fourth in a remarkable 12-month transformation.
Liverpool finished in fifth but beat AC Milan on penalties to win the Champions League in dramatic fashion coming from 3-0 down at half-time to level the scores. They were allowed to defend their crown, which meant that the Barclays Premiership had five representatives in the following season's competition.
2005/06
Champions Chelsea picked up where they left off, winning their first nine matches of the new campaign before finally being held 1-1 at Everton on 23rd October.
They suffered their first reverse in November, going down 1-0 at rivals Manchester United who were to string together a 10-match winning run but left themselves too much to do.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men finished eight points behind the Blues but won the League Cup, beating Wigan Athletic 4-0.
Liverpool were third with 82 points - their highest top-flight total since 1988. They also won the FA Cup on penalties after Steven Gerrard's last-minute screamer salvaged a 3-3 draw against West Ham.
Champions League runners-up Arsenal retained their place in the competition on the final day of the season with a 4-2 win over Wigan in the last ever match at Highbury.
That saw them leapfrog neighbours Tottenham who went into the final day of the campaign holding the whip-hand in fourth place but an attack of food poisoning contributed to a costly 2-1 defeat at West Ham.
Sunderland were relegated with a new record low points tally - just 15. They were joined by West Brom and Birmingham.
Portsmouth survived after Harry Redknapp made a shock return to Fratton Park from local rivals Southampton and sparked an amazing transformation in their fortunes.
2006/07
Chelsea missed out on a hat-trick of titles but it was one of the closest title races for years, even though a Ronaldo-inspired Manchester United eventually finished six points clear.
Last-gasp winners against Fulham and bitter rivals Liverpool kept United firmly in control and the destination of the title was all but mathematically decided when United came back from two goals down to beat Everton 4-2 and Chelsea were held by Bolton Wanderers.
The Blues' hopes were hindered by a nasty head injury to goalkeeper Petr Cech who was hurt at newly-promoted Reading. The Royals finished a creditable eighth but narrowly missed out on a UEFA Cup place on the final day of the season.
West Ham pulled off a great escape as manager Alan Curbishley dragged them to safety, beating Manchester United 1-0 at Old Trafford on the last day of the season to secure Barclays Premier League football for another year.
A dramatic final day of the campaign saw West Ham, Wigan Athletic and Sheffield United all desperate to avoid the drop - with the latter two playing each other. Sheffield United were the unlucky losers as a 2-1 defeat sent them down with Watford and Charlton Athletic. Wigan escaped on goal difference.
In its 15th season, the Premier League saw its 15,000th goal, scored by Fulham's Moritz Volz in their victory over Chelsea on 30th December.
2007/08
Now known as the Barclays Premier League, the title race went down to the final day of the campaign with Manchester United again just edging out Chelsea who replaced manager Jose Mourinho with Avram Grant in September.
However it was Arsenal who led the table for most of the season, until they suffered a loss of form in March.
They let slip the lead at Stamford Bridge going down to a Didier Drogba double as Chelsea took over as the main threat to United.
Grant's side held the advantage until they conceded a costly late equaliser at home to Wigan who then lost 2-0 at home to Sir Alex Ferguson's men on the final day of the campaign.
Goals by Ronaldo (his 31st of an amazing campaign) and Ryan Giggs sealed the silverware while the Blues were being held 1-1 at home by Bolton Wanderers to finish two points adrift.
United also got the better of Chelsea in the Champions League final, winning on penalties.
Derby County always looked destined for the drop but the battle to avoid the other two relegation places went to the final day of the campaign.
Two from Birmingham City, Reading and Fulham would slip into the Championship. Roy Hodgson had earned much praise for bringing Fulham back from the brink, and his side were in control of the situation on the final day, knowing that a win at Portsmouth would keep them up.
Birmingham and Reading did all they could to avoid relegation, beating Blackburn and Derby 4-1 and 4-0 respectively but a 76th minute header from Danny Murphy saw Fulham maintain their Barclays Premier League status at the expense of the Blues and the Royals.
2008/09
Holders Manchester United defended their crown to win the Premier League for the 11th time.
Sir Alex Ferguson's men clinched a hat-trick of titles on the penultimate weekend following a 0-0 draw at home to Arsenal on 16th May 2009. It was the Red Devils' 18th championship overall putting them level with Liverpool.
They held off a strong challenge from Liverpool who ended Chelsea's 86-match unbeaten run at Stamford Bridge with a 1-0 win in October.
Chelsea were third but won the FA Cup under the short-term charge of Guus Hiddink who replaced Luis Felipe Scolari. Harry Redknapp took over from Juande Ramos at Tottenham Hotspur who endured their worst start to a Premier League season but finished the campaign strongly.
Manchester City hit the headlines when they smashed the British transfer record to sign Brazilian superstar Robihno from Real Madrid for £32m.
Another record went as Edwin van der Sar pipped Petr Cech with 14 straight clean sheets.
Ex-Newcastle United striker Alan Shearer returned to his old club as manager for the final eight matches due to Joe Kinnear's ill health but he could only register one victory in that time as the Magpies were relegated with West Bromwich Albion and Middlesbrough. Hull City and Sunderland survived on the final day of the campaign.
Roy Hodgson's Fulham claimed the final place in the newly-formed Europa League, finishing a highly creditable seventh just a year after avoiding the drop on the final day of the 2007/08 season.
2009
The first half of the 2009/10 Barclays Premier League campaign has been more exciting than ever with goals flying in.
The Barclays Premier League reached 500 goals at the earliest point in its history.
Nadir Belhadj chalked up the milestone when he put Portsmouth in front against Liverpool at Fratton Park, beating the previous fastest in the 1994/95 season when it took 185 fixtures to reach the milestone.
This time the tally has been chalked up 17 matches earlier than ever before - in just 168 fixtures.
With Liverpool making a stuttering start and an early Champions League exit, Chelsea and Manchester United have again disputed top spot.
Arsenal remained hard on their heels and Manchester City signalled their intent by sacking manager Mark Hughes and replacing him with Roberto Mancini. The year finished with another managerial casualty as Gary Megson lost his job at Bolton Wanderers.

OpenOffice.org announces "end-of-life" for version 2.x of its productivity suite

A few weeks before the upcoming release of OpenOffice.org 3.2, the OpenOffice.org Community is formally announcing "end-of-life" status for the legacy version 2.x series of its productivity suite.

With each new release, users are strongly encouraged to upgrade, to benefit from new features, bug fixes and security improvements. After a new major release, the community supports legacy releases for a period of time to help users with upgrading and migrating. With version 3.x being available for more than 15 months now, the Community has decided it is time to cease maintaining the 2.x software. As a consequence, OpenOffice.org 2.4.3 will be the last release of the legacy 2.x series and no subsequent bugfix or security releases will be made available.

This end-of-life policy only applies for the Community version of OpenOffice.org obtained via http://download.openoffice.org. Linux distributors and service companies often have their own product lifecycle policies and might support the productivity suite for a shorter or longer period of time. Sun Microsystems commercial support plans also continue to support OpenOffice.org version 2.x.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does end-of-life status mean? Is the software unusable now?

A: The end-of-life status means that support with patches, bugfixes and security updates is no longer available from the Community. Of course, the software is still usable, and you may still be able to obtain product support from Community members via email, mailing lists and forums.

Q: So, can I go on using the old version?

A: Technically, yes. However, due to important bugfixes and security improvements found in newer releases of the software, the community strongly encourages every user to upgrade to the latest release.

Q: I'm a Linux user, and my copy of OpenOffice.org comes from my distributor's repository. Am I affected?

A: Linux distributors often have their own product lifecycle policy and may support their versions of OpenOffice.org for a shorter or longer period of time by "backporting" updates and bugfixes. Please check with your distributor.

Q: Why can't the community support older releases for a longer period of time?

A: Releasing bugfixes, patches and security improvements for older releases takes a lot of resources. Releasing legacy versions is as much effort as releasing current versions, with localization and QA being involved. As most users upgrade to a new version in a short period of time, and as rollout cycles in companies usually last from 3 to 12 months, the Community needs to concentrate its resources where they are most effective, in new versions.

There is also a number of independent service companies providing long-term support, who may support "end of life" releases.

Raya Haji

Alhamdulillah, buat kesekian kalinya aku menyambut 'Iduladha dalam hidup ini. Ini ialah kali ketiga aku tidak berhari raya di rumahku... Aku berhari raya di Morak tahun ini. Kali pertama aku berhari raya haji di luar lamanku ialah sewaktu aku di KISAS...cumanya aku lupa sewaktu tingkatan 4 atau 5 aku berhari raya di baitul-jann...

Kali kedua ialah sewaktu belajar di UPM, pun tak ingat tahun berapa, pertama ('03-'04) atau kedua ('04-'05). Tak pun '05-'06. Aku berhari raya di Klang...mungkin 2005 kot sebab masa tu aku baru tukar no. kpd no. Celcom.

Cerita berhari raya di Klang... aku kali pertama beraya di bandar. Amat janggal aku rasakan. Kemeriahan yg penuh township & kebandaran... Kemeriahan yang agak pelik ini aku alami sewaktu menghadiri majlis korban pak cikku di Taman Bukit Jati, Klang. Acara korban dilaksanakan di perkarangan padang bersebelahan surau taman berkenaan.

Beberapa ekor lembu ditumbangkan pada pagi tu. Aku lihat ramai pakai lawa2, bawak camcorder, digital camera... Mereka beramai duk dekat lembu-lembu tu. Mengambil gambar dengan penuh enthusiastic. Yang bertumas dengan lembu & aktiviti korban tu, keadaan lagak & gayanya sama saja dengan di kampung aku kira. Cuma, audien yg datang melihat tu rasanya agak keterlaluan dalam beberapa perkara. Masakan tidak, terjadilah suatu ketika pagi itu, di mana, seekor lembu lari lintang pukang hingga merempuh jatuh pagar besi sebuah rumah, akibat takutkan kerumuman ramai penonton barangkali. Maka cuaklah sekalian yang melihat... Beberapa orang cuba menangkap lembu berkenaan yg menerobos masuk ke laman rumah yg tidak berpenghuni. Balik kampung kata jiran-jiran.

Akhirnya lembu berkenaan berjaya disembelih selepas beberapa orang bertungkus lumus mengelilingi & menangkapnya. Happy ending bagi penonton-penontonnya yang 'darat' barangkali. Lembu bukannya suka dikeliling reramai, tambah-tambah lagi di musim penumbangan mereka secara besar-besaran di Hari Raya Korban...Pakai baju lawa-lawa yang mendedahkan sesetengah bahagian tubuh, juga wewangian yg 'meransangkan' lembu utk naik minyak ditambah lagi dengan warna baju yang cerah-cerah & terang-terang...

Ape daa...

Tahun ini aku bersyukur sangat kerana dapat & berkemampuan setelah diizinkanNya utk melaksakan ibadah aqiqah utk putera sulungku Lutfil Hadi. Ini ialah kali pertama aku melaksanakan korban pada waktu petang. Ianya dilaksanakan selepas solat Jumaat. Kami mengorbankan seekor lembu di depan rumah di Morak. Ya, dalam kawasan compound rumah dekat dengan timbunan pasir & ada rumput sikit-sikit tu (utk yang biasa berziarah ke rumah ni). Laju diorang ni buat kerja. Adik-adik iparku dan kawan-kawannya, serta sanak pakcik isteriku serta tukang sembelih yang merupakan jiran kami di Morak. Tahun ni aku tak berpeluang pegang tali yang diikatkan kpd lembu. Mereka gagah perkasa semua & bilangan yang memegang tali sedang elok cukup korumnya. Akad jual beli, niat aqiqah sewaktu melihat aliran darah sembelihan...Amat mengesankan. Seekor lembu tu, kami buat aqiqah 4 bahagian (2 lutfi, 2 badri, anak cik da & abe ji) dan 3 bahagian lagi ialah bahagian korban. Masing-masing 1 bahagian utk kak ja, ayoh dgn mek.

Tahun ni di ketereh pun ada korban & aqiqahnya utk Aleesya anak Izam dgn Ihsan anak Din. DIn amik seekor kambing & Izam amik sebahagian lembu di rumah Cik Su. Abah pun ambil satu bahagian. Banyaklah daging lembu dan kambing di rumah tahun ini. Aku pulak, sakit gigi... Berlubang di geraham bongsu sebelah atas kiri...Hilang sedikit kenikmatan makan daging di musim raya haji ni...

Seronok berhari raya haji tahun ni yang merupakan sambutan raya haji pertama kami sebagai sepasang suami isteri. Kalau di ketereh tu, semua ada, anak-anak saudaraku yakni sepupu Lutfi. Sebab ada 2 baby, Aleesya seorang lagi, maka sepupu-sepupu mereka ni memang sibuk & suka mengambil kisah tentang mereka berdua. Sesama mereka berdua pula, tak menang tangan kami di rumah ni dibuatnya.

Suka-suka kita pun cubalah utk tidak mengatasi rasa syukur kita kpd Allah Ta'ala. Ingatlah perulangan pesanan Allah, "Maka, nikmat Tuhan kamu yang manakah yang kamu dustakan?" dalam surah ar-Rahman itu.

Hari ini

Hari ini 1 Disember, aku secara rasmi jadi Asst. Mgr. kat Core & Wireless Transmission Unit, Section Contract Mgmt, Procurement Operation TM.

Semalam aku cuti.

Aku naik kije hari ni, mcm2 berlaku semalam dalam Outlook aku. Emel-emel bersepah-sepah berantai-rantai cuba membakar dan cuba menjadi juara penyelesai masalah. Champion konon. Tak selesai-selesai gak. Apa barang? Bengang betul aku. Sikit-sikit report to the higher-ups. Sikit-sikit report. Bukannya kitorg tak buat pun.

Aku tengah risaukan PAS Kelantan ni. Masya ALLAH. Serangan2 kpd Mursyidul-Am dari segenap segi. Zaman fitnah. Tak tahu mana satu betul. Mula-mula UG, then seminar politik, then penarikan diri (yg merugikan PAS) Prof Abdul Aziz Bari dari menulis ttg PAS, Syed Azidi, Ariffahmi & PBMK, tajaan haji, percubaan membunuh karier TP II PAS Kelantan & PJ PAS Kelantan dlm Mingguan Malaysia, mahkamah rayuan terima rayuan SPR ttg pengosongan kerusi DUN Kota Siputeh dll...

Yg 'serang' UMNO cuma larangan BTN kepada student IPTS S'gor & k/tgn kerajaan S'gor oleh S'gor State Govt. Penang bercadang dgn seriusnya utk mengikut jejak langkah berkenaan. Sikit je 'serang-balas'nya.

Bila tengok emel Outlook tadi....Isshk!! Hek elleh! Entah apa2 betul laa....

Nur Kasih dah habis dah. Best sangat ke? Jangan Tegur Lagi sampai dapat 2 juta unique viewers... Berbaloi-baloi ke?

Yang kecik2 dibesar2kan, yang besar2 disepah2kan mcm habuk yg sangat kecik...

Tahniah Rooney!

Penyerang United kini bergelar bapa
LIVERPOOL: Wayne Rooney telah bergelar bapa untuk pertama kalinya pada Isnin lepas apabila isterinya Coleen telah selamat melahirkan seorang bayi lelaki, umum seorang jurucakap kepada penyerang Manchester United dan England berkenaan.
Bayi berkenaan, dilahirkan di Hospital Wanita Liverpool telah diberi nama Kai Wayne Rooney.
Ayahnya terlepas sesi latihan bersama kelabnya untuk menyambut kelahiran berkenaan.
Rooney, 24, telah berkahwin dengan teman wanitanya sejak kanak-kanak itu, Coleen, 23, di Italian Riviera tahun lepas.
Coleen, yang bekerja sebagai seorang model dan penyampai televisyen telah dipetik sebagai berkata dalam satu temuramah awal tahun ini, dia mahu “mungkin tiga atau empat orang anak lagi.”
“Saya sangat sukakan kerjaya saya namun saya lebih gembira untuk meneruskannya apabila kami mempunya anak-anak,” katanya. — AFP

Tauliah ceramah

Bila sekatan secara terpilih dilakukan kepada alim ulama, maka timbullah kekeliruan dan masalah di kalangan masyarakat. Api fitnah dan gosip mula membara. Apakah sebenarnya tauliah yang dimaksudkan oleh penguatkuasa agama Islam tempatan?

Setiap insan yang beragama Islam telah pun diamanahkan oleh ALLAH untuk menyeru kepada kebaikan dan mencegah kemungkaran. Firman Allah dalam Surah Ali-Imran, ayat 110 (1) maksudnya, "Kamu adalah umat yang terbaik yang dilahirkan untuk manusia, menyuruh kepada yang ma’ruf, dan mencegah dari yang mungkar, dan beriman kepada Allah. Sekiranya Ahli Kitab beriman, tentulah itu lebih baik bagi mereka; di antara mereka ada yang beriman, dan kebanyakan mereka adalah orang-orang yang fasik." Namun, pastinya orang yang ingin menyampaikan itu sedar keperluan melengkapkan dirinya terlebih dahulu. Kita juga amat yakin bukan semua orang bersedia untuk menyampaikan, memberi dakwah melalui penyampaian ucapan, ceramah, tazkirah dan sebagainya. Mereka perlu bersedia terlebih dahulu. Adakah persediaan yang diterjemahkan dengan pengurniaan ijazah-ijazah Sarjana Muda, Sarjana mahu pun Doktor Falsafah senang-senang dipandang enteng? Apakah kelulusan akademik itu bukannya tauliah untuk menyampaikan dakwah?

Penahanan bekas Mufti Perlis tidak pernah pun berlaku sebelum ini. Dia sering sahaja menyampaikannya pengisiannya di sekitar Lembah Klang ini, secara terbuka atau pun tertutup, sebelum dan selepas dia menjawat jawatan Mufti Perlis. Masyarakat sedar apa yang dibawanya. Namun, beliau masih diterima untuk menyampaikan pengisian-pengisiannya.

Pihak penguatkuasa haruslah bekerjasama dengan para ulama, untuk menetapkan kriteria, boleh atau tidak seseorang ahli agama atau ulama itu menyampaikan pengisiannya secara umum. Penggubal dasar di peringkat pusat mahu pun negeri boleh merujuk entiti seperti ahli-ahli Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan atau pimpinan Persatuan Ulama Malaysia misalnya, untuk penetapan dasar pentauliahan berkenaan. Diharap, kecelaruan ini dapat dielakkan pada waktu mendatang.

Mimpi ke Makkah

Semalam aku bermimpi ke Makkah, menunaikan ibadah di sana. Cuma aku tidak pasti sama, ibadah yang kutunaikan berkenaan, adakah umrah atau pun haji. Keadaan dalam mimpi berkenaan agak caca merba kerana aku di sana tanpa pergi melalui Tabung Haji. Kelam kabutlah nak cari tempat penginapan.

Semoga ALLAH sampaikan hajat kami ke Makkah utk menunaikan rukun Islam ke-5 ini. Siapa-siapa yg ke Makkah, minta tolong doakan agar hasrat kami ini tercapai.

Ulang Tahun ke-19


Hari ini Nik Aziz 19 tahun mentadbir Kelantan
Wan Nik Wan Yussof

Wed | Oct 21, 09 | 2:34:55 pm MYT
ANALISA
Hari ini, Rabu, 21 Oktober 2009 adalah ulang tahun ke-19 pentadbiran kerajaan negeri Kelantan di bawah kepimpinan ulamak.
Sekaligus mengesahkan telah 19 tahun Tuan Guru Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat selaku Menteri Besar Kelantan. Ia juga adalah ulang tahun ke-19 bagi pelaksanaan slogan Membangun Bersama Islam yang dijadikan panduan perancangan pembangunan negeri.
Ia satu slogan yang mendahulukan nilai-nilai ad-din di dalam memenuhi harapan rakyat. Ini juga bermakna, selama 19 tahun prinsip pentadbiran berteraskan ubudiah, masuliah dan itqan telah dijadikan amalan oleh seluruh agensi kerajaan negeri Kelantan.
Maka, selayaknya telah berlaku kesan nyata daripada perancangan dan pelaksanaan ke atas tiga aspek perjalanan kerajaan negeri ‘falsafah kepimpinan, slogan dan prinsip pentadbiran’ sekaligus menobatkan Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz sebagai menteri besar yang ulung menerajui eksekutif kerajaan negeri.
Justeru itu, sempena mengingati ulang tahun ke-19, Tuan Guru Haji Nik Abdul Aziz menerajui kepimpinan ulamak mentadbir negeri Kelantan, semua laluan sejarah lepas sewajarnya dijadikan pengalaman, demi menyongsong kejayaan untuk dinikmati oleh generasi akan datang.
Pengorbanan untuk generasi muda
Laluan kepimpinan Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz sejak menjawat Ketua Ulamak PAS Pusat dan kini selaku Mursyidul Am PAS amatlah terukir indah di setiap wajah rakyat Kelantan.
Ilmunya adalah cahaya, perwatakannya adalah idola dan sentuhan pentadbirannya adalah keberkatan untuk seluruh rakyat.
Justeru itu, ilmu agama yang ada di dadanya sentiasa dicurahkan kepada rakyat Kelantan menerusi kuliah pagi Jumaat, khutbah Jumaat dan ceramah yang segar serta tulisan yang tercetak.
Atas kapasiti keilmuan yang dicurahkan dan ratusan ribu rakyat menelaah ilmunya, layaklah rakyat menobatkan menteri besar yang mengemudi kepimpinan ulamak itu adalah seorang ulamak sebenar bergelar 'Tuan Guru'.
Kerana di sebalik itu, cukup ramai individu ulamak yang kaya ilmu agamanya, tetapi loket di dalam mencurahkan ilmunya untuk diraih oleh rakyat. Justeru itu, tidak mungkin ditemui dalam dekad ini menteri besar seumpama menteri besar Kelantan.
Sesungguhnya, Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz telah 19 tahun bergelar 'Yang Amat Berhormat Tuan Guru Menteri Besar' yang sentiasa mengorbankan ilmunya untuk rakyat.
Inilah wajah kepimpinan ulamak yang dipaparkan kepada generasi rakyat Kelantan hari ini. Mudah-mudahan ‘ilmu tuan guru’ bakal membina generasi muda masa kini untuk mencipta kejayaan masa depannya.
Berkat taburan ilmu itu, kini Kelantan bukanlah negeri yang terpinggir dengan isu-isu pembangunan. Daripada ilmu yang ditaburkan, Kelantan sudah menjadi negeri yang seiringan dengan negeri lain dari segi pembangunan fizikal dan rohani.
Meskipun, masih ada tohmahan dan cakap-cakap sinis kononnya Kelantan adalah negeri termundur dan ketinggalan dari segi pembangunan sosio-ekonomi, namun kualiti hidup rakyatnya sudah menjawab dengan tepat bahawa kesemua tohmahan itu adalah cakap politik yang berniat memburuk-buruk keupayaan kepimpinan ulamak sejak Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz dilantik menteri besar.
Justeru itu, kepimpinan ulamak era Tuan Guru Nik Abdul Aziz sudah menobatkan (establishment) 20 nilai pembangunan negeri Kelantan seperti mana berikut:
1. Sifat cakna rakyat penuh berkebajikan,
2.
Bangunan pejabat dan gudang bertambah dan tersergam,
3.
Prasarana kesejahteraan awam tersirat kukuh,
4.
Ladang getah dan kelapa sawit luas menghijau,
5.
Sawah bendang menguning setiap musim,
6.
Hutan dan lurah sedia ditereskan,
7.

Maka, sempena ulang tahun ke-19 kepimpinan ulamak mengurus-tadbir kerajaan negeri Kelantan ini, diharapkan bersama-samalah kita dapat membuka mata dan telinga untuk menerima realiti, betapa negeri Kelantan hari ini adalah sebuah negeri yang sudah jauh maju setanding dengan negeri-negeri lain di negara ini.

Five steps firms should make before Win 7 move

It is "nearly inevitable" that businesses will migrate to Microsoft's upcoming operating system Windows 7 and they must examine some key issues before making the move, according to Gartner.
In an advisory released Friday, the research firm outlined five key areas companies should evaluate to prepare their migration to the new OS when it is officially launched Oct. 22.
1. Plan to be off Windows XP before end-2012.
Enterprises that had skipped Vista should plan to be leave Win XP by the end of 2012. According to Gartner, while Microsoft will support Win XP with security fixes until April 2014, past experience has shown that independent software vendors (ISVs) will stop testing their apps much earlier. In fact, ISVs will start limiting their support for Win XP after 2011.

"New releases of critical business software will require Windows 7 long before Microsoft support for Win XP ends," Steve Kleynhans, research vice president at Gartner, said in the report. "Organizations that get all of their users off Win XP by the end of 2012 will avoid significant potential problems."
2. Start work on migration plans now.
A typical organization requires 12 to 18 months of waiting, testing and planning before it can start deploying a new client OS, Gartner explained.

There is also a lot of work to be done in preparation, and delays in getting started will only result in added costs later.
3. Don't wait for Windows 7 SP 1.
Gartner cautioned against waiting Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to begin testing and deploying the new platform, noting that many companies are likely planning to wait until SP1 ships before starting their tests. Instead, organizations should start work now, especially if companies have skipped Windows Vista.

4. Don't skip Windows 7.
In May 2009, Gartner advised companies to skip Vista and wait for Windows 7, because the latter has important features that Vista did not have. These new tweaks will help improve organizations' abilities to deploy the new platform.

The research house pointed out that Windows 7 is not a major architectural release, focusing mainly on "polishing" or fine-tuning the OS, and builds on the deeper "plumbing" changes Microsoft made in Windows Vista. However, Windows 7 carries improvements in memory management that will allow users to have a better experience than that on Vista, explained Michael Silver, vice president and analyst at Gartner.
5. Budget with care.
Companies should plan their budgets carefully as migration costs vary significantly, depending on the OS the organization has. Gartner estimated that it will cost US$339 to US$510 per user to move from Windows Vista to Windows 7, and US$1,035 to US$1,930 per user to move from Windows XP to Windows 7.

Hari Raya

Aku bosan. Dah lama nak update blog tapi tak sempat & tak larat.

'Idulfitri sampai lagi buat kesekian kalinya dalam hidup ini. Kira-kiranya dah 26/27 kali sambut - kan kalendar hijri lagi laju pada masehi...Tapi yang ingatnya, berapa kali je. Daripada yang ingat tu, yang betul2 happening berapa kali je...

Namun begitu memang berhak kegembiraan dizahirkan sungguh2 dalam Hari Raya ini. 'Id mubarak, kullu 'am wa antum bi khair. Taqabbalallah minna wa minkum.

Aku nak cerita semua, tapi tak ada daya, masa & upaya. Mana yang ingat, mana yang dirasakan penting aku sampaikanlah.

Tahun ni aku balik raya dengan zaujah aku, adik aku eja & abe & adik ipar aku, nonie. Penuh kereta. Balik kot T'ganu. Jalan ok hari Jumaat. Sepanjang jalan dah masuk T'ganu terperasan ada bunyi something dkt bahagian depan kiri kereta, cam ada sesuatu berkeriang-keriut...entah apa.

Sampai di Kg. Sura Dungun jam 11 pagi lbh kurang, singgah rumah abe Yoe, abe iparku, dalam setengah jam di sana. Kemudian sambung journey, subhanallah best lalu tepi pantai. Cantik & seronok mata memandang pasir pantai & kebiruan laut yg menjauh.

Aku kira, sempatlah kami suami isteri berpuasa sehari di rumah masing-masing. Alhamdulillah tercapai hasrat. Hari raya pertama zaujati (zaujah+saya=zaujati) pertama kali di rumah lain. Tapi bukan rumah orang lain.

Aku demam raya kedua, petang. Program MSK raya ke-3 memang tak dapat pergi. Perut tak sedap berpanjang-panjangan... Aku di rumah mentua (eh, mertua ke mentua??), petang tu, berselimut je dalam gebar, suhu badan naik sedikit demi sedikit, setelah paginya kelihatan semuanya OK tak ada masalah... Malam raya kedua, kami ke klinik, ada juga yang buka, zaujati yang setia menemankan aku ke klinik, dan dengan kepakaran dia, ubat yang aku perolehi sedikit berbeza dari biasa, hasil negotiation dia dengan doktor.

Alhamdulillah, semakin ok, walaupun aku hanya boleh makan nasi putih saja lepas hari raya kedua tu.

Pagi raya ketiga, masih di Morak walaupun bercadang nak balik ke Ketereh petang raya kedua lagi. Tak larat & tak mampu nak drive. Ada kenduri di Bintang, adik kak Ma isteri abe Yoe. Aku tak pergi. Biar zaujati dengan kakak dia Cikda & Abe Ji pergi ke sana, dengan yang lain. Aku perlahan-lahan balik dengan Persona tu ke Ketereh, bercadangnya utk sambung rehat di rumah di sana. Jangan main-main, memang ada tempat nama Bintang... (adakah Bintang lagi tinggi dari Puncak Alam? Wallahua'lam.)

Apa lagi yang berlaku?

Pagi raya ke-5 kami berdua ke Pusat Rawatan An-Nisa dekat-dekat dengan Pejabat Pos Besar Kota Bharu. Buka buku rekod di situ. Bercadangnya kami, hendak melahirkan putera sulung kami di situ. Segalanya berjalan lancar, cuma parking susah sikit sebab penuh. Ramai orang di sini.

Aku terbau hangit getah terbakar sewaktu memarkir Persona kami di pintu masuk pusat rawatan berkenaan. Musykil aku dibuatnya, risau aku disebabkannya. Barangkali sesak teruk atas retak Sultan Yahya Petra menyebabkan masalah ini. Biarlah kereta ni cool down dulu. Selesai, kami ke HRPZ II ambil sedikit ubat utk ... aku lupa la pulak. Then terus gerak ke satu majlis kenduri yang telah lama dirancang utk dihadiri.

Aku jumpa Hajar setelah beberapa tahun tidak menatap wajahnya, pada hari raya ke-5, di majlis kenduri walimah al-'urus Salmi Koh Muhammad Hashim Koh di Kampung Kor. Zaujati adalah kawan se-houseman Salmi di HRPZ II dulu. Asal aku tidak kenal Salmi. Tapi dia pernah datang rumah di Ketereh selepas kami berkahwin. So dari situ kenallah aku akan Salmi. Hajar kawan baikku (perasan atau pun kenyataan?) di sekolah rendah dulu. Berkebetulan Salmi dan Hajar mengaji menengah sekali di SMS TMFP. Hajar pulak sambung belajar peringkat tertier di UKM KL, sekampus dengan zaujati & selalu jumpa dengan zaujati...

(Ingin kukhabarkan kepada Afzan, Syed, Hadri, Wana, Fattah, Zaim & Pok Din akan liqa' itu tapi tak juga2 aku buat...)

Dunia ini kelihatannya besar namun tidaklah sebesar mana pada pandangan ALLAH, yang menakdirkan pertemuan semula berkenaan.
