Way to go Erdogan!

In times when the Muslims around the world - especially in Palestine - is being oppressed and opposed in many ways, a Muslim leader (finally) showed a respectable courage; he stood firm as a leader, making sure his disgust and disagreement over the actions of the Zionists is clear! He is the Prime Minister of Turkey, Reccep Tayyip Erdogan. He show his firmness by condemning Israeli premier Shimon Peres right in front of him, during a World Economic Forum in Davos. Watch the clips below. The first is the incident where Mr. Erdogan condemned Peres, and then stormed off the stage to show his disgust over the injustice done by the moderator of the forum for Mr. Peres was given 25 minutes to talk (condemn Palestine, justified Israel's actions), compared to the 12 minutes that was given to Mr. Erdogan. The second clip is his explanation over his action. So, for those world leaders who are just too coward to stand up in front of the world against Israel - take a look at Erdogan! My respect for you, Mr. Erdogan!

PROPHET MUHAMMAD IS THE MOST INFLUENTIAL PERSON

In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, The Most Merciful. All praise be to Allah, The Creator and The Sustainer of Heaven and Earth. Peace be upon the Exalted Prophet, Sayyiduna Muhammad s.a.w., and to his family.

In my previous entry dated 29 March 2008 (click here to read the mentioned entry), I wrote a critique on Michael H. Hart’s explanation of why he chose Prophet Muhammad s.a.w., an explanation that, to me, is based on more perception than true facts about the Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. When I say ‘true facts’, I mean ‘true facts’ that is based on authentic and sound references about the exalted Prophet; references that come from distinguished Islamic scholars who are acknowledged as the authority on Sirah (the life and history of the Prophet) such as Ibnu Hisyam; and when I say ‘acknowledged’, it means acknowledged by the scholars Islam, not the Western or Christian scholars. That’s why even though Michael Hart chose Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. as the most influential person in history, he lacks the worldview to understand Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. as who he really is and to put him in his proper place.

That entry received a response from an anonymous writer who disagreed that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is the most influential person in history, and argued that it should be Jesus who should hold that title. I disagree, of course. I believe – with full faith and sound arguments – that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is the most influential person in history, and he will always be. I copy the full text of the ‘anonymous’ comment here before I continue with my arguments on why it is Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. who is the most influential person.

Start quote;
Just my opinion. Michael Hart wrong that Muhammad is the most influential person in history. The mere fact that there are as many or more Christians in the world as Muslims combined with the fact that Jesus lived a shorter life, and left behind fewer followers, is proof that Jesus accomplished more with less. Both Christians and Muslims forced conquered peoples into their faiths in the past, but today the vast majority of Christians are converted voluntarily while many millions of people are forced into Islam under threat of persecution. This is a testament to the reduced influence of the religion started by Muhammad. As far as I know, Muhammad did not claim to be the actual son of God, nor did he willingly sacrifice his life to save both believers and non-believers. There is simply no way that Muhammad's life or death was as impressive as that of Jesus. It cannot be disputed that Muhammad came after Jesus and was influenced himself by the teachings of both Christians and Jews. The "one God" concept did not exist in arab lands before being introduced by Jews and Christians. Therefore the life of Jesus actually influenced Muhammad's early spiritual development. The most unfortunate part of the debate that will follow Michael Hart's comments is that they will be used to divide believers in the world's two great religions. Instead of looking for the common values that we share, Muslims and Christians will continue to see each other as spiritual and even physical enemies. Muhammad was a great man and a tremendous leader. One of the greatest leaders in human history, but not "the" greatest. I thank our common God that Muhammad was part of human history. I also pray to our common God that he will bless both Muslims and Christians with the wisdom to tolerate our differences, celebrate our similarities, and work together for the world peace and prosperity that our common God surely wants for us all.

End quote;

First of all, let me make it clear that in Islam, we acknowledge Prophet Isa a.s. (Jesus as the Westerners would call him) as a prophet of Allah. He was a prophet that was sent before Prophet Muhammad s.a.w., and his specific mission, as mentioned in the Glorious Qur’an, was simple: to verify the truth in the previous holy revelation – the Taurat (revealed to Prophet Musa a.s. – or Moses as the Westerners would call him), and to bring good news about the coming of the Last Prophet that is Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Therefore, in Islam, we accept Prophet Isa a.s. and Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. as prophets of Allah. However – I feel it is imperative that I state this clearly – the Muslims understand and recognize Prophet Isa a.s. with significant difference as how the Christians understand Jesus. Therefore, when I say that we recognize and acknowledge Prophet Isa a.s., it does not – in any way – mean that we (Muslims) recognize and acknowledge Jesus as how the Christians understand him. And, we also acknowledge Injil (Bible as the Westerners would name it) as a revelation from Allah; but (I repeat: BUT) only the original Injil as was revealed to Prophet Isa, and not the Bible that is being used in the Christian world today, as we know that the Bible that is being used in the Christian world today – although the churches and the priests would deny it – has been tampered with. I am not going to write about that here, anyway. Please do your own research.

I would also like to make it a point that when I write about why Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is the most influential person, I am not in any way trying to degrade Prophet Isa a.s. for as I have mentioned earlier, we acknowledge and recognize them both as prophets of Allah; but, in the order of all the prophets of Allah, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is the most exalted and honourable of them all. We have countless Qur’anic verses, sayings of the Prophet (Hadith), and views of the Ulama’ (Islamic scholars) to show us about the exaltedness and greatness of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. In fact, my argument here is more specifically within the context of comparing Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. with Jesus (the Christian Jesus) and not Prophet Isa a.s.

Now, our ‘anonymous’ writer argued that Jesus is more influential in the sense that he accomplished more with less. That fact can be questioned. Did Jesus really accomplished more with less? The mere fact that there are more Christians than Muslims in the world today doesn’t necessarily prove that Jesus was more influential. Although I can, and am craving to do as such, I do not intend to make my point by pointing out what is wrong in the facts (or ‘claims’, perhaps) that the ‘anonymous’ writer wrote, for that would be something like a ‘direct attack’ against Christianity. Instead, I will try to correct what the ‘anonymous’ writer wrongly wrote about Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. and throw in arguments of why Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is considered to be the most influential person.

First of all, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is the only personality in this world whose life is most-properly and completely documented. We have strong and authentic references on his family tree, even lining up back to Prophet Adam a.s.; and his family tree is recorded and documented such that even until today, we know who are the descendants of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. I have never heard of any other personality whose family tree is so completely and comprehensively recorded. Prophet Muhammad’s life is so comprehensively documented such that today, we (Muslims) are able to follow his examples in almost every aspect of our daily lives.

Please also understand that Islam never forced people to accept Islam. There is even a Qur’anic verse which means: “There is no compulsion in religion.” Once, a companion asked Sayyidatuna ‘Aisyah r.a., Prophet Muhammad’s wife, about Prophet Muhammad’s character and Sayyidatuna ‘Aisyah r.a. said that the Prophet Muhammad is like a “walking Qur’an”. This means that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is the living example of how to practice the teachings of the Qur’an. Therefore, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. has never, not even once, forced people into accepting Islam. Please refer to authentic sources on the history of the prophet, not writings of Orientalists or Western scholars! The fact is, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. was the most compassionate and gentle when it comes to spreading the message of Islam. For example, in the book entitled “Fiqh Sirah” written by Sa’id Ramadhan Al-Buti (a book on the history of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. and its philosophy of events), it is stated how Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. preached to the people of a valley called Thoif. The people there rejected and casted him off by throwing stones at him until he bled so badly. The angels who saw the event – out of their love of the Prophet – was enraged and offered to Prophet Muhammad s.a.w., with Allah’s permission, to turn a mountain upside-down and drop it unto Thoif. But, being the compassionate person as he is, he rejected that offer, saying to the angels to “let them be, as they do not understand”. That is one of the proofs to show that in Islam, it is a principle that we do not force people into Islam. People voluntarily embrace Islam out of their understanding about the true truth that Islam brings. This, consequently, brings Muslims to practice Islam with full faith and obedience; and, although it cannot be denied that there are bad Muslims (as they are bad Christians), we still see mosques being visited regularly (five times a day, to be exact). And I believe there are more Muslims who go to mosques to pray (the obligatory five times a day) than there are Christians who go to the churches (once a week).

As for what is written by the ‘anonymous’ writer that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. never did claim to be the actual “son of god”, or even “sacrificed” his life, as proof that his life was not as impressive as Jesus, even that is a misguided statement. In Islam, we have a completely different worldview than that of Christianity. Our concept of God is in its entirety different from the Christian concept of “god”. Which, therefore, means that I disagree with the ‘anonymous’ writer’s use of the term “common god”. Allah is, as taught by Islam, the one and only God; His existence is absolute. He is in no way (I repeat: IN NO WAY) similar to any of His creations (such as humans). Allah’s existence is an absolute Oneness! In the Holy Qur’an, this absolute Oneness is stated strongly: “He (Allah) begets not, nor is He begotten.” (Surah Al-Ikhlas: 112, verse 3). Allah is the Most Great, He is God! Being the ultimate Creator, He cannot have any of the characteristics of creation since creation has weaknesses and limitations. God is The Most Perfect! Therefore, as how we understand it in Islam, it is impossible for God to have a son, for having a son is a characteristic of creation. Therefore, Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is truly not the son of god, but his life was very impressive. He is a human being, yet he is chosen by God to become God’s Prophet and spread God’s words (message; revelation) to humankind. He is a human being, yet God has elevated him to a status even higher than the angels, higher even than Prophet Isa a.s. The story of Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. has inspired many people – even up until today – to emulate his footsteps in any way they can, including emulating his attire!

Another important thing that has to be understood is that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. was never influenced by the teachings of Christianity. Yes, it is true that he did once meet a priest. But, that was when he was only a 9-year-old kid and the meeting was for only a short period. In fact, what happened in that short encounter was that the priest recognized the 9-year-old kid as the Last Prophet – based on what has been revealed in the Injil – and asked Prophet Muhammad’s uncle to take good care of him. One other important fact is that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. was an illiterate. He could neither read nor write. How then, could he have learned anything from anyone? Yes, history records it that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. never had any teacher. How then could Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. have spread the Qur’an? How then could Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. have said all the important sayings (in Islam, we call it Hadith – which is the second authority for Islamic principles and laws after the Quran), with perfect Arabic language? The answer: it is because Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is truly a Prophet of God, and it is God who revealed the knowledge to Prophet Muhammad s.a.w.

Prophet Muhammad’s life is truly inspiring. He has, without doubt, strongly and significantly influenced the lives of so many people, even after his death. Much more can be said, and even more proof and justification can be given. For what the ‘anonymous’ writer has written in the last part of his comment: I could agree that the believers of the world’s two great religions (Islam and Christian) should look for a way to co-exist. However, as I have said, as a Muslim I reject the notion of “common god”. For, as I have mentioned earlier, the Islamic knowledge of Allah (God) is in its entirety different from the Christian concept of god. I also disagree that we have to “tolerate” our differences. Instead, we have to “accept” that we are different; recognize and acknowledge that we are different – at all levels. I do agree, however, that we must not let our differences become the reason for disharmony or to fight against each other.

As a Muslim, I therefore would not force you (Christians) into accepting my idea that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is the most influential person. However, we Muslims will still believe with complete faith that Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. is the most influential person in history, in the present time, and in times to come. Before I end, please also understand that this article may not answer all of the critiques or questions regarding Islam or Prophet Muhammad s.a.w. Therefore, do delve in deeper and refer to eminent Islamic scholars (Ulama’) for a better and more comprehensive understanding.

Allah alone knows best!

ZIONIS MENGGANAS LAGI: APA SIKAP KITA?

Rejim Zionis mengganas lagi. Siri serangan terbaru yang turut mensasarkan orang awam di bumi Palestin ternyata menggambarkan dengan jelas kebiadaban rejim Zionis yang dengan angkuh dan bongkaknya menunjukkan betapa mereka langsung tidak menghormati segala konvensyen dan ketetapan yang telah dibuat oleh badan-badan dunia. Ternyata juga, rejim Zionis telah menunjukkan sikap tidak berperikemanusiaan mereka kerana antara ramai yang terkorban dalam serangan-serangan mereka adalah golongan kanak-kanak. Terbaru, rejim Zionis telah mengebom sebuah sekolah milik Pertubuhan Bangsa-bangsa Bersatu (PBB) dan telah mengorbankan seramai 47 orang. Turut musnah dalam serangan itu adalah sebuah klinik bergerak. Ternyata rejim Zionis sungguh tidak berperikemanusiaan, biadab dan kurang ajar.

Namun, setiap kali rejim Zionis mengganas di bumi Palestin, persoalan yang sama akan timbul: apa sikap pemimpin-pemimpin dunia? Lebih penting lagi, apa sikap pemimpin negara-negara Islam (baca: negara majoriti penduduknya Islam)? Kecaman demi kecaman terus disuarakan. Demonstrasi dianjurkan di mana-mana di seluruh dunia. Sudah hampir kering air mata, sudah hampir kehabisan suara memekik dalam sesi-sesi demonstrasi, tetapi hasilnya tetap sama yakni rakyat Palestin terus menderita. Maka, kalau kita ingin membincangkan tentang sikap ‘golongan politik dan berkuasa’ dalam menangani isu ini, pastinya kita akan marah, geram dan kecewa. Sungguh mengecewakan, tidak ada satu pun negara di dunia ini – termasuk negara Islam – yang berani menghantar pasukan tenteranya ke Palestin untuk membantu rakyat di negara itu. Puak Zionis tidak ada justifikasi langsung untuk melancarkan serangan ke atas Palestin; malah lebih teruk daripada itu, negara haram Israel tidak seharusnya dibiarkan terus wujud atas tanah rampasan dan darah umat Palestin! Mungkinkah perlu diwujudkan satu desakan yang hebat kepada semua pemimpin negara-negara di dunia ini agar menghantar tentera masing-masing ke Palestin?

Namun, dalam masa yang sama, di peringkat individu pun harus ada usaha dan perkara yang kita selaku orang awam ini laksanakan. Khususnya bagi yang beragama Islam, penodaan terhadap Masjid Al-Aqsa di Baitul Maqdis dan kawasan sekitarnya adalah sesuatu yang tidak boleh didiamkan sahaja. Kawasan Masjid Al-Aqsa adalah kawasan suci, sebuah tempat yang tercatat dan dirakam dengan nyata dalam Al-Qur’an Yang Mulia! Di masjid itulah Rasulullah s.a.w. telah mengimamkan solat para nabi dan rasul ketika peristiwa Isra’ Mi’raj. Di masjid itulah Rasulullah s.a.w. telah diangkat ke Sidratul Muntaha untuk menghadap Tuhan Yang Maha Agung! Justeru, perlulah untuk kita pada hari ini melakukan sesuatu mengikut kadar kemampuan kita bagi membantu saudara seagama kita di Palestin yang terus ditindas dan dizalimi.

Maka, berikut dicadangkan beberapa tindakan yang perlu dan boleh kita laksanakan dalam kapasiti selaku orang awam dan orang Islam yang punya keterbatasan kuasa dan kemampuan.

Berdoa pada setiap kali selepas solat agar Allah S.W.T. membantu orang Islam di Palestin dan menghancurkan musuh-musuhNya.

1. Membuat ceramah dan sesi penjelasan kepada masyarakat tentang isu Palestin.
   
2. Menganjurkan sesi-sesi solat hajat di masjid-masjid, surau-surau, juga di rumah-rumah kediaman dan pejabat.
   
3. Menghulurkan sumbangan kewangan kepada tabung-tabung keamanan bagi membantu masyarakat di Palestin.
   
4. Menghadiri mana-mana demonstrasi anti-Israel dan anti-Zionis yang dianjurkan.
   

Selain daripada itu, apa yang sangat penting juga adalah bagi umat Islam memperkasa keimanan dan ketaqwaan mereka kepada Allah S.W.T. Hubungan dengan Allah S.W.T. perlu dijaga dan sentiasa diperkasakan. Adalah dikhuatiri dosa-dosa yang kita lakukan itulah yang menjadi penyebab tertolaknya doa-doa kita. Seperkara lagi yang cukup penting juga adalah bagi umat Islam di seluruh negara, dan juga di seluruh dunia, untuk bersatu dan kembali memperkasa ukhuwwah kerana Allah S.W.T. Apalah ertinya hadith Rasulullah s.a.w. yang menyatakan bahawa umat Islam itu seluruhnya ibarat batang tubuh yang satu, apabila sakit satu anggotanya maka sakitlah seluruh tubuhnya, seandainya umat Islam di seluruh dunia masih lagi dengan sikap mementingkan diri sendiri, bertelagah dan bergaduh semata-mata demi kepentingan dan keuntungan dunia. Umat Islam di Palestin sana boleh dizalimi kerana umat Islam di seluruh dunia sudah bercerai-berai dan tidak lagi punya kekuatan sebagai sebuah umat.

Lihat sahaja di negara ini sebagai contoh. Betapa umat Islam – hanya kerana perbezaan ideologi politik – sanggup bertelagah dan berpatah arang. Dalam isu-isu kemanusiaan sekalipun – seperti kes-kes bencana alam, dan termasuklah juga isu Palestin ini – masing-masing menggerakkan usaha masing-masing kerana masing-masing ingin mendapat nama dan dilihat sebagai juara dalam isu tersebut! Betapa sikap mementingkan diri sendiri dan angkuh masih menebal! Ayuh pemimpin umat, bangkitlah daripada tidurmu yang lena! Wahai umat seluruhnya, pasakkan tekad kita untuk membantu saudara-saudara kita di Palestin! Ingatlah, tatkala kita berseronok melayani kehendak nafsu kita, saudara seagama kita sedang menderita di bumi Palestin. Ingatlah, tatkala kita alpa dan lalai dalam mengingati Allah S.W.T., saudara-saudara kita di bumi Palestin mengharapkan doa serta kesatuan sokongan dan bantuan daripada umat Islam! Ayuh, kekuatan itu milik Allah! Kemenangan itu daripada Allah!

Semoga Allah memberikan kekuatan dan menyampaikan kemenangan kepada kita!

Wangsa Maju, 3.25 pagi.

KEMBARA DI SARAWAK

Sudah lebih seminggu aku kembali daripada Sarawak, setelah hampir sebulan berada di sana kerana terlibat dengan beberapa aktiviti pembangunan belia Islam di Sarawak. Sungguh, sepanjang sebulan berada di Bumi Kenyalang memberikan aku pengalaman yang sangat bermakna. Bermula dengan program Latihan Asas Kefasilitatoran yang dihadiri sekitar 100 orang belia Islam daripada serata negeri Sarawak. Paling jauh, daripada Belaga. Sila rujuk peta negeri Sarawak untuk mengetahui betapa jauhnya Belaga daripada Kuching. Oh ya, program tersebut diadakan di Pusat Latihan Sarawak, Telaga Air, Kuching. Penyertaannya cukup memberangsangkan. Harapan kami dalam menganjurkan dan mengendalikan program tersebut adalah supaya akan lahir lebih ramai lagi belia Islam di negeri Sarawak yang punya kemahiran fasilitator yang baik – cocok dengan acuan Islam – agar dapat membantu kami menggerakkan dengan lebih giat dan meluas program-program pembangunan belia di serata negeri. Kalau sekadar hendak mengharapkan kelompok kami yang terlalu kerdil ini, memang kami tidak mampu.

Aku sedang menelaah buku sebagai persediaan untuk memberikan pembentangan semasa program Latihan Kefasilitatoran Asas, sambil "ditemani" oleh sahabatku di sebelah.

Program fasilitator tersebut tamat pada 14 Disember. Sehari selepas itu, pada 15 Disember, kami teruskan lagi aktiviti kami dengan program PEWARIS Siri Ke-3. PEWARIS adalah singkatan bagi Perkampungan Warisan Remaja Islam Sarawak, sebuah projek yang dirangka khas sebagai projek mentor-mentee; di mana kami – para mentor – diberikan dengan beberapa orang pelajar daripada sekolah yang tertentu untuk dibimbing sepanjang tempoh yang tertentu, contohnya setahun, bagi menjadikan mereka remaja yang lebih baik dari segi sahsiah, kepimpinan, akademik dan sebagainya. Pokoknya, projek bagi memperkasakan generasi muda Islam Sarawak. Menarik juga program PEWARIS Siri Ke-3 yang dibuat di Kem PLKN di Bau tersebut. Penyertaan beberapa peserta baru – khususnya daripada kawasan Balai Ringin – memberikan kami satu pengalaman yang sangat berharga. Ternyata masih banyak usaha yang perlu dilakukan di negeri ini! Mudah-mudahan Allah terus memberikan kekuatan.

Sebagai mentor, aku dipertanggungjawabkan untuk menjaga para pelajar lelaki daripada SMK Bandar Semariang, bersama Saudari Nuraniza Sulaiman sebagai mentor khusus bagi pelajar perempuan SMK Bandar Semariang. Syukur kepada Tuhan, kumpulan yang aku jaga ini adalah antara kumpulan yang terbaik. Tidak banyak yang aku lakukan, dan aku rasakan juga tidak perlu banyak yang dilakukan kerana ternyata mereka (para mentee daripada SMK Bandar Semariang) sudah cukup matang dan bijaksana dalam menggerakkan kumpulan mereka bagi meningkatkan ketrampilan diri mereka di samping menyumbang kepada masyarakat di sekitar mereka. Semoga kumpulan ini satu hari kelak akan dapat menjadi kumpulan individu-individu yang hebat, penerus kepada perjuangan dakwah di Bumi Kenyalang ini.

Program terakhir di Sarawak, dalam bulan Disember itu, adalah program Kembara Hijrah. Program yang meninggalkan kesan dan kenangan yang begitu bermakna buat diriku. Kesempatan selama seminggu berkembara bersama sekitar 100 orang belia Islam yang lain daripada pelbagai tempat di negeri Sarawak – ada daripada Kuching, Telaga Air, Sebuyau dan Balai Ringin – memberikan aku pelbagai pengalaman yang menarik. Mengendalikan sekitar 100 orang belia Islam dengan latarbelakang yang pelbagai, perangai yang pelbagai, sememangnya menarik. Yang paling penting, aku bersyukur kepada Allah kerana menghadirkan 100 orang belia tersebut bersama dengan kami dalam program ini. Kerana ternyata di penghujung program, aku melihat wajah setiap seorang daripada peserta program tersebut dan terdetik di hatiku: inilah wajah pejuang dan pendokong umat Islam di negeri Sarawak! Biarpun mereka belia yang mungkin dipandang rendah oleh masyarakat, biarpun mungkin di kampung mereka dibenci dan tidak disukai orang ramai, tetapi sepanjang kami berkembara mereka telah membuktikan yang mereka punya potensi yang cukup hebat. Mereka ibarat permata yang kilauannya masih kelam kerana belum digilap. Namun, andai telah digilap, nescaya sinarannya bakal menyinari setiap ceruk dan lorong di negeri Sarawak! Teringat aku akan pesan guru yang dihormati dan disayangi, Syeikh Ahmad Fahmi Zamzam Al-Banjari Al-Maliki An-Nadwi, bahawa seorang pendakwah itu seharusnya mengambil kira saki baki keimanan yang masih ada pada diri setiap individu dalam mendekatinya. Saki baki keimanan itu ibarat bara api yang kecil, seandainya dijaga dan ditiup dengan betul, nescaya apinya akan marak semula!

Kami berkembara daripada Kuching ke Balai Ringin, kemudian ke Sri Aman, seterusnya ke Betong, kemudian ke Bintulu dan akhirnya ke Miri. Pelbagai kenangan yang diperolehi, yang tidak mungkin mampu aku coretkan semuanya di sini. Cukuplah sekadar aku sertakan di bawah beberapa gambar-gambar pilihan kerana sepertimana kata pepatah Inggeris: a picture is worth a thousand words! Buat semua ahli Kembara Hijrah 1430 sekalian, terima kasih diucapkan atas komitmen dan kerjasama yang luarbiasa yang kalian berikan! Mudah-mudahan Allah merahmati kalian, menyinari hidup kalian dengan pancaran HidayahNya tanpa putus! Terima kasih juga kepada sahabat-sahabat, antaranya yang semenjak daripada zaman persekolahan lagi telah bersama dalam perjuangan ini. Semoga Allah merahmati kalian.
