Thoughts: I lost count

Huhu....Alhamdulillah 'ala kulli hal :)

Journey from Brussels to Warsaw worn me up. I can't believe we actually fought with the Germans/Frenchs/Belgians/Polish to get a seat in the trains and travelled across Germany in one night in the middle of a blizzard! Subhanallah!

Jadi apa yang saya dapat di Brussels?

Banyak!

Mari saya cerita satu kisah di Royal Museum of Fine Arts Brussels.

Disini terdapat banyak karya seni pelukis-pelukis terkemuka dari zaman lampau sehingga hari ini.

Saya teringat semasa zaman sekolah rendah dan sekolah menengah dulu. Subjek pendidikan seni adalah wajib keatas semua pelajar.

Setiap kali mendapat tugasan, saya sedaya upaya menyiapkan tugasan itu dengan seratus peratus kreativiti. Malangnya, cikgu selalu beri C- untuk karya-karya saya.

Kenapa cikgu???

Kenapa??

Tak cukup cantik ke??

Saya dah separuh nyawa buat karya tu tahu!! X(

Macam ni lebih kurang karya saya semasa sekolah rendah dulu.

Tengok! Karya sebegini pun boleh masuk galeri TERKEMUKA.

Jadi kenapa lukisan saya dapat C-?????????

Sampai tingkatan 4, saya betul-betul sudah mengalah dengan subjek itu. Tapi masih diwajibkan kepada pejalar jurusan Sains. Hendak dijadikan cerita lagi, subjek itu selalu merendahkan pointer saya. GERAMM

Lukisan saya lebih cantik dari ini. Kenapa hampir-hampir dapat D????

Kolaj saya lebih menarik dan berwarna-warni. Kenapa tak pernah dipamerkan pun??

Tak mengapa.....

Read between the lines: Buat yang terbaik mengikut garis panduan Allah. Penilaian manusia selalu salah. Penilaian Allah itu yang terbaik :D

Teruskan saja

I watched this video on YouTube.

It's kinda amazing,isn't it? I mean, advertising about Islam like that in a country full of people who disgusts Islam so much, is very very bold.

Yeah I like the video a lot. But read the comments about it. Let me pick a couple of it.

By 1Waddup: A MUSLIM IS NOTHING BUT A WILD MAN, READ Gen16:12. it will tell u why

everybody hates muslims

By shabotages: that barbar religion is bullshit.

(sorry for the foul language...)

Now, when you read those comments, how do they make you feel?

Angry? No?

Or feeling sad out of no where?

Suddenly de-motivated?

Now, what do you expect?

You are doing da'wah. And you expect people to love you? Or you expect compliment from people around you?

You want everything to be B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L??

And you got really really really depressed when what you expected didn't actually come true?

Even the prophets and companions went through a bumpy road. It's just back then, it was more to physical abuse (plus emotional). Ours is more to emotional ones.

Da'wah is to make you resilient. That's why it's difficult. If you can bear the emotional torture, go on with it. If you can't, well, keep on trying. That's what the prophets and companions did. They keep on walking.

"Kalaulah apa yang kamu serukan kepada mereka itu keuntungan yang mudah diperoleh dan perjalanan yang tak seberapa jauh, Pastilah mereka akan mengikutimu......"(at-Taubah 9:42)

"Apakah manusia mengira bahawa mereka akan dibiarkan hanya dengan mengatakan: "Kami beriman." dan mereka tidak dijuji?"(al-Ankabut 29:2)

P/s: Stick with your mad'u. They need you more than you know....(click)
