Tribute to Our Brothers (A Re-post)

This post is taken from my old blog which I canceled lately.

In our History 3 (second year, second semester), we were asked to write our own idea about the beliefs of Muslims in their Qur’an.

Please bear the innocence of the idea.

*****

A true Muslim believes in all the scriptures and revelations of Allah.

Qur’an is a sacred Islamic text and the Last Revelation of Allah. It is clearly revealed that the Qur’an is Allah’s word and in pure Arabic language, thus, other translations of Qur’an are not of Allah’s but an understanding of its content instead. Moreover, Muslims believe in the original form, not as they exist today (Torah, Gospel, and Psalms) so Muslims must learn to read Arabic texts.

In addition, the only authentic and complete book of God in existence today is the Qur’an.

The Qur’an and other Islamic scriptures signify the firmness and the stability of the Muslims. Firmness in the sense that it is written and passed through generations to generations and is stable as it is preserved in its original form.

Qur’an is lawful and disciplinary. As some critics say, which I do agree, Qur’an is the best law ever made. It concentrates on how to deal with peacefulness, and, executes the corporal punishments as based on how it is done in Allah’s instructions.

For the Muslims, the Qur’an is complete and authentic. Not in any degree of it is incomplete or absent and no more of it is to be filled up. Its authenticity is in assurance, and no thinker has risked objecting its genuineness.

The Qur’an was made so by Allah who acknowledged it and made it incumbent upon Himself to defend it against interpolation and disintegration of all kinds. Thus, it is given to the Muslims as the ethics or criterion by which all the other books are judged. So whatever collaborates with the Qur’an is approved as Divine truth.

Call this Motivation

Each day is a motivation.  Waking up every morning is a blessing but getting up from our beds is a different thing.  It is always an implied obligation for us to rise.  Each day means a lot, if we love what we are doing. It does not mean we only do the things we love, but must love the things we ought to do also. The driving forces we feel when we do something may be strong or weak, but no matter how these go with us, if the forces make us better persons, then there is no reason to reject these. Well, at the end of the day, we will realize that we made our time meaningful and will wish to make tomorrow the same or better.

Motivation is only for people who are open for it. Successful persons once aimed to be successful.  To be one of them, we must appreciate every single sign of motivation we see every day.  The ones who are open to recognize bits of blessings are only the ones who can create steps of inspiration to achieve their goals.  In life, we are very busy that we forget to walk slow and take a glance in our surroundings that sometimes give lessons in life we cannot learn in school or in workplace. We need not to be observant and vigilant though in finding what drives us to make us perform better; instead, we must give reasons for every situation we are into whether good or bad, to keep us move forward.  It goes like this: if you fail now, it does not mean you will get the same results in your whole life—this makes an impulse for you to strive harder.

Being motivated means lesser hardships. Let me clear, being motivated does not mean having an easy life, but being motivated makes a complicated life feel easy.  Some people say: this is hard, I can’t do this, I better quit… but you will see them still trying until they succeed.  As the saying goes, “Life is not certain that you shall win, but will make it certain that you shall try.”  Each one of us must have an inner purpose that must be strong enough: stronger than the things we ought to do, stronger than the trials we meet every single day.  Hardships are steps to make us stronger, but without motivation, we can never stand on the steps and we can never walk further.

Choices? Uh, you don't have any...


You need not to love the subject (or even the professor.. I mean ESPECIALLY the professor) to pass, but the consequence is that you'll have to adjust your patience (and temper) every other day.


What else can you do if it's necessary for your course?


You already fought for your grades
And now's not the time to waste some efforts.
Moreover, this is not your major subject
And will only last for a semester.
It's just that you don't love it right?


Tsk, tsk, tsk..
I never imagined myself hating mathematics
Not until this!

Sticks

Used to write on sticky notes
Hoping to do tasks as listed
But, unfortunately, I cannot!
First, Laziness
Thinking that I have all the time in the world makes me sleepy
Most especially when I have no classes.
Second... I could not think of the second
But, sure yeah the third ones are temptations
This house has a lot of things that tempt me
TV, internet, food, pets, novels, name it!
You know, imagine the scene:
You are sitting(leaning), drinking coffee, reading some fine books
WHILE listening to music-
This is the only multitasking I love...
How I wish now's vacation
But is NOT!
So, I think I still have to go back to my sticky notes...

Take this!

Here she goes again.
What's wrong with her?

Oh no no, I think I know what's wrong!
She believes she's above us all for a little merit she got.

And another,
I know she thinks that I volunteered to take more responsibility to acquire higher acclamation
Which is not!

Let me tell you this, Miss,
Humility is not only shown in the face,
Or in the tone of the voice
And don't you dare talk to me showing such expressions
For I know you!
I am not judging you
And, I don't know what you were
But, I am pretty sure I know you now…

That attitude you are showing makes you more pathetic…
Lucky you, not at all of your friends realize this
Unfortunate for me I'm one of the lesser who observes…

Sentiments

Hurt,

The tears

The bitterness

So somber scent of rejection

It’s up to you if you want to stay or go.

Someday, somehow, you will laugh at those moments

For they were feelings of innocence

Sweet innocence that once became part of you

That you would wish to feel again…

First love,

The tears

The radiance

So sweet scent of acceptance

It’s up to you if you want to stay or go

Someday, somehow, all you have to do is to cry for those moments

For they were feelings of innocence

Somber innocence that once became part of you

That you know you cannot feel again…

I'm Back

I need to work this out tonight
For tonight is my only chance to finish this
Please let me have diligence this time
So I can understand this by heart and mind.

Hidden

I care for you

I don’t mean to let you know this

I’ll just do my best to let you feel that I’m always here

For my love needs not to be noticed

It’s just that I love to love you more when you don’t know

I don’t want to waste the times that you feel you’re safe with me

I don’t want to lose the feelings of friendship we had all this time

I’m going to treasure this for the rest of my life

And I know, I know in my heart

This is not the last time I’ll call you Best…

Again

I’m sorry if again I made you hate me

My fault that I thought I might encourage you again

Now, do whatever you want, I will not hinder you

But expect that things will change

And that I will then be just somebody in your memories.

Only by name, you remember me

And only by name, I am treasuring you.

You may not see my presence; you may not feel my efforts

But still what else can I do

I’m just a friend and I love you…

Nation A

Competition

How I wish to see only the positive side of you

Asking your message so well indulge in me

And cry for me when I fail you
Competition

Capital S

Often, I follow my mind and fail.

Often, I follow my heart and lose.

For many times, I judge people yet at the end eat my words.

Frequently, I have been very redundant, overrated.

Sometimes, I do less

Sometimes, I do much

To be exact, now and again I don’t know what I am doing.

I criticize, but I can’t do better.

I give advices (hard advices), but I have difficulties following them.

Life is so unfair to ALL

Who knows?

Feels like...

There are times that I feel I am right

Right on things which I thought are good

Good that oftentimes misinterpreted

Misinterpreted that feels like…. What?

N. L. G.

There was a woman so radiant I know

Beyond her radiance lies superiority and so

Better learn not to overwhelm her for such

Vanity- she uses this much..

Unnoticed Glimpse

How amazing to shed tears for "someone" who doesn't even bother to know me…
How nice to see your smile; telling me that you care for me.
How you walk, how you talk, how you do things in your way—I love it.
But still, you never bother to know me...
