Where are you going?




“Fa ayna tadh haboon – Where are you going?” There is such love in these words. It is like when a mother becomes helpless and dejected due to her child going astray, and she asks him “What are you doing?”

Such simple words as she says “What are you doing?” but the pain she feels, the pain of motherhood that she feels, hidden inside these simple words.

Or when the father becomes helpless and dejected and says “Son, What are you doing?” There is so much compassion in the father’s words knowing what his son is doing will spoil, ruin and harm his son’s future. At that time the father becomes so helpless and says these words “What are you doing? Where are you going? Which way are you headed? What have you become?”

“Fa ayna tadh haboon - Where are you going?” It is like a son reaching out to his angry father and saying “I am what is right for you, Where are you going? You are what is right for me, Where are you going? We are what is right for us, Where are you going? What are you doing? Who has decieved you?”

It is so easy to narrate these words, it is easy to copy these words, but the meaning behind these words, the emotion behind these words can’t be copied, can’t be reproduced, and can’t be translated. Not because they have no translation, not because they don’t have a deep meaning but because Emotions cannot be translated in words, they can only be felt.

Similarly when God says “Fa ayna tadh haboon” we can’t understand the emotion with which He means it. We can’t interpret the deep concern he has for us when he says “Where are you going” “Fa ayna tadh haboon” . We can’t understand the intensity of love, affection and concern with which He says it. We can’t understand it, we can maybe write about it, we maybe can try to enact it, we can maybe try to narrate it, but we can’t write the emotions, the concern and the intensity that come with it. We can’t. Because emotions cannot be translateded in words, they have to be felt.

And when Allah says “Yaa Ayuhal insaan” [O Mankind], the love He expresses to the whole 7 billion people in the world. “Yaa Ayuhal insaan” [O Mankind], not just Muslims, but the whole of mankind. Just one word “Yaa Ayuhal insaan” and the amount of love God has expressed in it. How can we ever translate the emotions that must go with it. The intensity with which He says “Yaa Ayuhal insaan” meaning [O Mankind]. It is like Allah coming to the earth, going to each individual and shaking him and saying “Yaa Ayuhal insaan” [O Mankind], “What have you done?”, “Fa ayna tadh haboon- Where are you going?” “Why have you left the path of righteousness?, Why have you left me? Just like when children abandon their parents and the mother says “Why are you going” The pain that is hidden in that “WHY”, that is of a mother, that pain is of a father. If we use that pain in analogy with God, all the while understanding Gods love is infinite, and then try to understand this word “Yaa Ayuhal inaan- Maa Gharaka birabikal kareem” meaning “O my creation, why have you left your Lord? Who has deceived you? I am your Lord, I am your Lord, Who has deceived you? Why have you left me?

[Ayah] Al lazi Kahalaqaqah meaning I created you, look at your appearence in the mirror and see how I created you. Can I wrong you? A mother does not wrong her child even though she is just a channel/medium, yet I have created you with my hands, can I wrong you? If I stop you from something, then there is wisdom behind it. If I tell you to do something, then there is wisdom behind it.

“Fa ayna tadh haboon – Where are you going?” Quran Surat At-Takwīr (The Overthrowing)(81:26)

God says in this Quranic verse – “Where are you going?” Quran Surat At-Takwīr (The Overthrowing)(81:26)

God also says in one of the Quranic verses [Ayah] – “Fa Firroo Ilallaah – Not there, come over here, come towards me, come towards the path that is right, that is free of sin”

It is the right time for us to ask ourselves the same question, “Where are we going?” “What are we doing?” “Where are we headed?” “What have we become?”

Is what we hear meant to be heard? Is what we see meant to be seen? Is what we do meant to be done? Is what we say meant to be said? Is what we think meant to be thought?

Again as God says in one of the Quranic verses [Ayah] – “Fa Firroo Ilallaah – Not there, come over here, come towards me, come towards the path that is right, that is free of sin”

Did Sulus Have Fake Rocks Too?

Folks say the Sulus who attacked Sabah were a little bit too well equipped. In the beginning they wore full military gear and carried full sets of weapons which awed our own VAT 69 commandos. Our boys also found out that their GPS equipment kept getting out of whack when they entered the Tanduo area. This means their GPS was being jammed. The Sulus had jamming equipment. Without a doubt the Sulus were a rag-tag band of villagers. Someone paid them, armed them, equipped them and promised them wild stuff which made them believe they could succeed. Even if they had the money, where did they get all these fancy equipment? You cant just buy jamming equipment from the local hardware shop. By the way the mamak guy from Penang has denied giving any money to Jamalul Kiram. "However, Ridhwan admitted giving money to another claimant to the Sulu throne, Sultan Muedzul Lail Tan Kiram." according to The Star here. The news is that he contributes donations to Moro charities. Anyway here is something about spying equipment that is buried inside artificial rocks or natural rocks which have been hollowed out. Even tree trunks are used to hide spying equipment. Israel spies on Russian fleet off Syrian coast' camouflaged spy rocks found on island to monitor navy ships. fake rock used to house Israeli spy equipment Israeli devices in artificial rocks found on uninhabited island off Syria camouflaged devices track Russian navy transmit real-time images via satellite back to Israel three large devices found on island opposite Syrian port of Tartous. port is home to a Russian naval facility Iranian ships also docked in Tartous Israeli "Shayetet 13" elite naval unit planted surveillance system infiltrated Syria via Dolphin class submarines to extract sample stones frogmen evaluated terrain for most effective location rocks closely resembled items seized in Lebanon in recent years Here are some pictures of spying gear hidden inside hollowed out rocks and tree trunks. The next time you go to the beach near navy or army bases at Sepanggar Bay, Lumut, Sungei Udang or Port Dickson dont scratch your butt or do your business behind any of the rocks. The rocks may be taking your picture : )) -OutSyedTheBox-

Sahabat Lama Dan Sahabat Baru Anwar Ibrahim

There is another interesting article by AIDC titled : Rakyat Perlu Kaji Mengapa Dr Sidek Baba Tinggalkan Anwar AIDCNews – 01/04/13 – Rakyat perlu mengkaji mengapa seorang tokoh ilmuan dan pendakwah seperti Prof. Datuk Dr. Sidek Baba akhirnya mengambil keputusan meninggalkan bekas sahabat karibnya, Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim selepas hampir 40 tahun berkawan. Bekas peguam bela Anwar, Datuk Zulkifli Noordin dilaporkan Utusan berkata, jika benar Ketua Pembangkang mempunyai moral yang bersih, adalah mustahil ilmuan dihormati dan pendakwah yang mempunyai budi pekerti ‘tidak tercalar’ seperti Sidek sanggup meninggalkan sahabat karibnya itu. Prof Dr Sidek Baba who was close to Anwar Ibrahim for almost 40 years has now left him. Zulkifli Noordin who was Anwar's close friend and lawyer has not only left him but has now become Anwar's number one enemy or opponent. Then there is a list of people featured in the AIDC article who were close friends of Anwar Ibrahim who have now left him. Here are some pictures : Sahabat Lama Yang Telah Tinggalkan Anwar Ibrahim The first is of course YB Datuk Zulkifli Noordin. You can see in the pictures how close he was with Anwar Ibrahim and his family. Those were days when YB Zul would visit Anwar in jail. Below here, to the right of Zul (half hidden is lawyer Pawancheek Merican). The next here is Prof Dato Dr Sidek Baba. Prof Sidek Baba was among the earliest and most staunchest leaders of the ABIM. Now he has not only left Anwar Ibrahim but he also helps spread the word telling the truth about Anwar Ibrahim. Next up is Haji Ismail Mina : Ismail Mina was another one of the earliest founders of ABIM and close stalwarts around Anwar Ibrahim. He is highly regarded among the ABIM supporters and has significant influence among them. He is now campaigning actively against Anwar to discredit him. Here is Anwar Ibrahim's former Setiausaha Sulit by the name of Anuar Shaari. Anuar Shaari has also left Anwar and turned against him. Then you have Ezzam Mohd Noor. Ezzam was close not only with Anwar but also with Wan Azizah. He knew stuff that went on inside the house. At one time the Head of Pemuda PKR. Now he is one of the most vocal critics against Anwar Ibrahim. There are plenty more but these will suffice for now. So a lot of Anwar's oldest friends, those who were his staunch supporters for 30 years and 40 years have left him. Or those who were with him in PKR have also left him. Many of them who have left him are Malay Muslims. Sahabat baru yang sangat disayangi Anwar Ibrahim But Anwar Ibrahim has moved along in life without the help of his Malay Muslim friends. Now he has newer friends. Here are some of them: Picture above - Anwar with his good friend Bill Cohen. Below here is Anwar's even closer friend Paul Wolfowitz. Paul Wolfowitz was of course involved in many scandals. Below here is a cozy picture of Anwar Ibrahim with both Bill Cohen and Paul Wolfowitz. Picture above shows Anwar with another good friend Al Gore. Picture below shows Al Gore with some of his friends in Washington. No need to say where this picture was taken. You can trace the source of the picture. Closer to home - this is also one of Anwar Ibrahim's staunchest supporters. She is a YB as well. No need to say where or how this picture was taken. It was a 'soal peribadi'. Below here is another staunch supporter of Anwar Ibrahim. Pakailah baju kurung or baju kebaya. Kita kan orang Malaysia? Air hostess Sinapore Airlines pun pakai baju kebaya. Below : Another new friend of Anwar Ibrahim who has replaced his old friends. You can see for yourself kawan Melayu dah kurang. Nothing good or bad kalau kawan Melayu dah kurang. I am not racist ok. More Melayus have left him. Thats all. It is just an observation. And many of his new friends are bukan Melayu. Below : Another friend of Anwar Ibrahim who is 'bukan Melayu'. This one needs serious anti-rabies shots. Last but not least the Yindians. Wan liddle, two liddle, three liddle Yindians.. Err ..one Tamil, one Singh and one Kotte Inilah al kisah sahabat lama dan sahabat baru Anwar Ibrahim.
