1. Makcik (Mama Umeya)yang koma di dalam n3 lepas, meninggal dunia kelmarin (Ahad). Hari itu kami tak jadi pergi menziarah Mama Umeya di hospital. Tinggal Baba Umeya. Tahun lepas anak lelaki dia pegi menyambut panggilan Ilahi. Innalillaahi wainna ilaihi raajiuun..
2. Di dalam blog yang saya delete hari tu ada cerita berkenaan jiran yang dibunuh. Mayatnya dijumpai di dalam semak ditepi jalan keretapi di sebelah kompleks perumahan ini. Minggu lepas, Abuzaid bagitahu, pembunuh2nya (2 orang) dah ditangkap. Beritanya di sini. Dahulu, saya jangkakan tentu budak2 geng lepak yang punya kerja. Tetapi rupa2nya bukan. Kedua2nya pernah duduk di kompleks ini juga.
Minggu lepas, sempat berborak dengan Zenith (balu simati). Jumpa dia dengan 3 orang anak2 yang masih kecil dlm perjalanan saya balik dari bilik basuh kain. Sempat saya tanya apa motifnya suami dia dibunuh, tapi kata Zenith, polis tak nak bagitahu sampai kes ini dibicarakan dimahkamah. Dia kata dia takkan tunggu polis dtg bagitahu tapi dia sendiri akan pegi ke mahkamah untuk dengar sendiri.
Baca kat sini. Kesian tengok Zenith ni. Nampak badan dia makin susut sejak kematian suami ( makin cantik.. ). Dah kerja. Dulu dia duk rumah je. Hari jumpa dia tu, dia bagitau nak ke Honest Ed (tempat saya buat ceminmata tahun 96, pakai sampai le .. ) sebab kat situ ada sale. Jualan murah. Ubat gigi boleh dapat dalam seposen, stokin dalam doploh lima sen. Jauh Honest Ed tu dari tempat kami. Tambah pulak sejuk, malam pulak tu. Dia kata dia tunggu anak dia yang besar (sulung) tu balik jaga adik2 baru dia bole pegi. Kesian kan..

Berita
Baru je rasanya dapat berita abah diserang angin ahmar, semalam dapat pulak khabar anak saudara Abuzaid yang kena. Muda sangat lagi orangnya. Baru 23 tahun. Anak 2 orang, kecik2 lagi. Walaupun tak jatuh pengsan (alhamdulillah) tapi muka dah herot sebelah.
Sempat bercakap dengan dia dan isteri siang tadi. Dah pesan supaya jaga diri baik2 lepas ni. Anak2 masih kecil. " I'll try " katanya...
Penyakit keturunan. Dapat dari ayah. Ayah dia pulak dapat dari mak (nenek dia). Umur muda tak menghalang dari diserang. Seingat saya, anak saudara Abuzaid ni kurus je orangnya. Jenis anak muda jaga badan. Tapi tu dulu la...akhir sekali jumpa tahun 2002. Masa tu dia sekolah lagi. Ni dah kahwin dan ada anak tak tahu lah... Keluarga Abuzaid memang tak de yang besar2 badannya. Tinggi, ye...
Kebanyakkan penyakit adalah disebabkan makanan. Tak boleh makan ikut sedap saja ( siapalah tu ye?..) risikonya sendiri yang kena tanggung. Jadi kena beringat. Makin berumur, risikonya makin meningkat.
Kena banyak puasa lah kalau gitunya. Isnin, Khamis, 13, 14, 15hb tiap2 bulan.. InshaAllah pahala dapat, kesihatan pun sedikit sebanyak dapat diperhati. Exercise....jangan lupa. Kurang2 jumping jack... :)

Temperatures to plunge in the GTA
680News staff Toronto Friday, January 23rd, 2009 9:44 am
Toronto - Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the GTA as temperatures are about to plunge.
A massive Arctic high pressure ridge stretching across the Prairies will combine with an Alberta clipper over the Great Lakes and will help propel a cold front into southern Ontario.
Temperatures are expected to fall to between -15C and -20C with windchills close to -25C.
Malam ni Abuzaid kata nak bawa kami gi tengok seorang makcik di hospital. Makcik tu tengah koma (subhanAllah..). Koma lepas dibedah. Hospital di down town. Kena pastikan anak2 dibungkus sebaik2nya.

My Palestinian Sister
Subject: my palestinian sister
My Palestinian Sister
Fire from the sky falls down on you
by night and day,
a rain bringing only destruction.
You don't sleep anymore.
It's hard to when you don't know if you will wake up,
and when you feel such emptiness inside.
Instead you sit in the darkness,
cut off from the world,
waiting for death, for relief from your pain.
You don't know your baby was on TV
– the light of happiness in your life, extinguished –
don't know how beautiful she still looked,
wrapped in a small cloth, like she was sleeping.
You didn't see when they put her,
with others, in a hole in the ground.
But I did.
You don't know how many
have raised their hands for you,
for your safety, your victory;
don't know how weighty your supplication;
your hands are far from empty.
I don't know you, have never met you,
but you are part of my body,
feverish and shivering.
They think you are weak,
that your blood is cheap,
but your conviction, your resolve, your belief
makes you heavier than a hundred
of those yellow men
who strike only from behind walls.
No matter the outcome
–how many lives are taken,how long the world turns its back on you -
you are the victor.
What is this life but part of a day,
the stepping stone to forever,
when you will laughat those who laughed at you,
when not an atom's weight remains in your heart
of fear, of hatred, of despair.

Alhamdulillah, doa mereka dan muslimin muslimat di seluruh dunia diperkenankan Nya. Semoga mereka terus bersabar dengan ujian Allah ini. Semoga mereka terus bersabar dengan kehilangan "zuyyina linnaas" mereka. Sesungguhnya didunia ini manusia akan sentiasa diuji...
“And certainly, We shall test you with something of fear, hunger, loss of wealth, lives and fruits, but give glad tidings to the patient. Who, when afflicted with calamity, say: “Truly, to Allah we belong and truly, to Him we shall return. They are those on whom are the salawat (i.e. who are blessed and will be forgiven) from their Lord, and (they are those who) receive His Mercy, and it is they who are the guided ones.” (Al-Baqarah :155-157)
“After you there will come the days of patience (i.e., days which require patience). Patience during those (days) will be like grasping a live coal. During those (days) the reward for the one who adheres to the Commands of Allah will be equivalent to the reward of fifty men who did an action like his.” He said, “O Messenger of Allah, the reward of fifty of them?” He said, “The reward of fifty of you.” (Reported by Abu Dawud, 4341; Ibn Majah, 4014.)
“Be patient, for there never comes to you a time but what follows it is worse, until you meet your Lord. I heard this from your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).” (Reported by Al-Bukhari, 7068.)
Al-Mustawrid Al-Qurashi said to `Amr Ibn Al-`Aas: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, “The Hour will begin when the Romans are the greatest people in number.” `Amr said, “Watch what you say!” He said, “I am saying what I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).” He said, “If you say that, it is a fact, for they have four qualities. They are the most patient of people at times of tribulation; they recover quickly from calamity; they are quick to recover and attack again after defeat; and they are good to the poor, orphans and the weak. And a fifth good quality that they have is that they resist the oppression of kings.” (Reported by Muslim, 2889.)

Blrrrrrr.....Sejukkkkkkkk!!!
Sejuk. Minggu ni sejuk sangat lagi. Sejak hari Rabu. Rabu tu patut hantar anak ke kelas, saya tak kuasa. Hari ni sejuk masih tahap melampau. Tahap maha (pinjam kata Kaca). Abuzaid keluar ke masjid sembahyang Jemahat. Balik je, Abuzaid cakap, "Huh..!! teramatlah sejuknya!!"... Tahun ni memang luar biasa sejuknya.
Kesian orang2 yang homeless tu (kesian lagi kat saudara2ku di Palestine.. ). Shelters mmg banyaklah yang kena buka time gini. Baca novel The Street Lawyer hari tu, boleh bayangkan macamanalah hidup mereka time winter gini. Kena pulak suhu turun sampai -15 deg C. Dengan angin, -35!! Agaknya ginilah rasanya kat Kampung Beruang Polar tu... blrrrrr....sejukkk!!!
Pulak tu, rupa2nya banyak kawasan yang kena blackout sejak semalam. Sebabnya baca sini. Kami alhamdulillah tak bergelap. Minggu lepas ada juga lampu tetiba padam sesaat. Selalunya begitulah. Blackout paling teruk, tahun 2003. Lebih 12 jam.
Kesian sungguh pada yang tak de letrik (kesian lagi kat saudara2ku di Palestine ). Majlis perbandaran dah buka banyak tempat untuk penduduk yang terlibat memanaskan badan. Ada juga yang jadikan mall tempat mereka "berdiang". Jangkaannnya elektrik akan ada semula malam ini,InshaAllah.

The Israel Lobby
O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your friends and protectors (over the Muslims): They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily God guideth not a people unjust. [Qur'an 5:51]
video link dari informationclearinghouse
Pernah dulu saya bertanya Abuzaid, kenapa ramai jews seperti Prof Chomsky bebas mengkritik US dan Israel tanpa diapa2kan? Jawab Abuzaid, "sbb mereka mrk jews juga..". Apa kesan atas kritikan mereka? Tak de apa2. Kerana Israel di"back-up" oleh kuasa terbesar dunia (US).Tapi setakat mana? Sampai bila? Oleh siapa? Terjemahan quote kata2 Tony Judt (ahli sejarah)di akhir video itu, "Israel tidak ada kawan lain di dunia .."

Projek Mudah Untuk Anak2
Cadangnya nak buat projek2 yang mudah untuk mengisi jadualwaktu anak dara saya. Salah satunya macam gambar dompet di atas. Cantikkan? Agak2 boleh teka tak mende tu dibuat dari apa?
Satu lagi projek yang terfikir ialah jahitan sulam pangkah. Benang, jarum saya yang lama masih ada lagi. Dah tengok2, nampak ada pattern yang mudah untuk yang baru2 nak belajar.Daripada dia duk sibuk baca buku cerita aje, elok gak ajar dia menjahit. Esok2, boleh buat untuk hias rumah. Tak pun boleh siapkan projek mak dia ni yang dah berzaman tak siap2.. :D
Nampak senang je kan? Pastu ingat nak gak buat quilt. Dah nampak banyak free pattern dalam internet. Tapi eloklah buat satu2 dulu kan.... ?
Zalim dan Kejam
PBB dah luluskan usul hentikan serangan, tetapi Israel tetap berdegil. Atas alasan, roket Hamas masih jatuh di selatan Israel. Jelas, Israel ingin menyapu bersih Gaza Strip. Dengan pertolongan US dan Hosni Mubarak menjadi "talibarut". Sia2 menjadi muslim jika takutkan US dan Israel lebih daripada takutkan Allah Taala. Sia2 menjadi muslim jika lebih sayangkan USA dan Israel daripada sayangkan saudara seIslam sendiri.
And because they are oppressed, then it is upon their Muslim brethren to aid them against those who oppress them, as the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said
((A Muslim is the brother of a(nother) Muslim; he does not oppress him and nor does he hand him over (to the enemy))), its athenticity is agreed upon by both al-Bukhaaree and Muslim.
And his (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) saying:
((Assist your (Muslim) brother if he is the oppresser or the oppressed)), it was asked:
"O Messenger of Allaah: (we understand about) assisting him when he is oppressed, so how do we assist him when he is the oppresser?" He (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said:
((Restrain him from oppressing (anyone), for that is asssiting your (Muslim) brother)).
Zalim dan kejam gelaran yang tepat bagi mereka. Nantikan sajalah balasan Allah Azza wa jalla yang akan tiba jua disatu hari nanti.

2009 1430 Muharram Ashoora
2 January 2009
5 Muharam 1430
Hari ke7 Palestine terus dibedil Israel.
Tiada bezanya malam menjelang tahun baru dengan malam2 yang lain. Sewaktu melabuh kepala ke bantal di malam 31 December 2008, kedengaran lagu2 dari rumah2 jiran. Juga suara2 mereka bergelak ketawa. Terasa juga peliknya. Biasanya, bila dah larut malam, dalam musim sejuk begini, amatlah jarangnya kedengaran muzik2 dan suara2 bergembira. Kali ini banyak plk jenis lagunya. Bermakna, banyaklah rumah yang meng-on-kan music player mereka. Tetapi otak cepat teringat .. "ah..! mereka menyambut tahun baru.." Tak tahu sampai pukul berapa mereka terus meraikan tahun baru kerana sewaktu terjaga bila hampir waktu Subuh, suara gelak ketawa masih kedengaran. "biarlah.." kata hati ini lagi ..
Tahun berlalu bermakna dunia dan umur penghuninya akan bertambah lagi. Tidak lagi akan berundur. Saat kematian juga semakin hampir. Destinasi kehidupan sebenar semakin dekat. Akan ke "istana" atau ke "unggun api" kah kesudahan diri? Cukupkah? Masih menambah atau tetap statik? Adakah istilah cukup untuk kesyurga Allah? SubhanAllah...masih terlalu jauh diri ini..
10 Muharram akan tiba. Kasih dan rahmah Allah sentiasa ada sepanjang umur supaya hamba2Nya akan kembali kepadaNya dengan gembira, tidak dengan duka..
“This is the day of ‘Aashooraa’; I am fasting on this day and whoever wishes
to fast on this day may fast.”
And he (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Fasting on ‘Aashooraa’ expiates for the sins of one year and fasting on the
day of 'Arafaah expiates for the sins of two years.”
When, towards the end of his life, the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam)
heard that the Jews took the day of ‘Aashooraa’ as a festival, he said:
“If I live until next year, I will certainly fast on the ninth”.. calltoislam
Semoga limpah kurnia Allah S.W.T akan selalu bersama2 hambaNya yang beriman... Ameen.
