Ramai yang menyangka bahawa nafsu dan akal adalah bertentangan atau berbeza. Hal ini berlaku kerana salah faham dalam menterjemahkan istilah 'nafs' yang merujuk kepada diri seseorang. Setepatnya ia diterjemahkan sebagai 'jiwa'. Jiwa ada pelbagai jenis, antaranya ialah shahwaniah iaitu kehendak terhadap makanan dan pasangan. Jiwa shahwaniah inilah yang selalu kita fahami sebagai nafsu. Ada juga jiwa jenis ghadabiah, iaitu kehendak terhadap kekuasaan, kedudukan, kemuliaan dan kebanggaan. Seterusnya ada jiwa yang dinamakan aqliah, inilah yang dimaksudkan dengan nafsu akal. Kehendak bagi nafsu akal ialah ilmu, yakni pengetahuan tentang sesuatu perkara. Media massa boleh wujud dan berkembang kerana adanya nafsu akal. Manusia sentiasa ingin tahu tentang sesuatu, sekalipun sesuatu itu tiada kaitan dengannya dan tidak bermanfaat baginya. Bahkan ada yang sampai tahap ingin tahu tentang keburukan pihak tertentu, kita boleh namakannya sebagai bergosip atau mengumpat. Namun, kita perlu tahu bahawa rasa ingin tahu ada beberapa peringkat. Asasnya tiga peringkat, iaitu ingin tahu tentang alam fizikal, alam akal dan alam ketuhanan. Manusia yang rendah jiwanya hanya ingin tahu tentang alam fizikal. Yang lebih tinggi pula ingin tahu tentang alam akal. Manakala yang paling tinggi jiwanya, ia ingin tahu tentang alam ketuhanan. Adapun yang paling malang ialah, jiwa yang tidak pernah tahu dan tidak pernah sedar tentang Tuhan.

37signal's Manigesto - So I can read better
00 Start Here
The web should empower, not frustrate
We design visual interfaces (what people see and how they use it) for web sites and applications. We focus on making sure these sites are both useful and easy to use.
How you fit in
We work with smart clients who understand that it's the customer, not org-charts or office politics, that matters most. These clients are hard to find, so when we get them we treat them well.
This site is a look into our minds
Inside you'll find our philosophy for simplicity in design, our influences, and ideas that drive us.
01 We See People
Users.
Sounds like a bunch of junkies or gigolos, doesn't it?
The people who visit web sites aren't "users," click-throughs, hits, numbers on a spreadsheet, or some other form of dehumanizing jargon. They're your husband, your mom, your friend, the guy who sits in the cube next to you. They're real PEOPLE, just like you and me.
That's why we think a successful site is one that makes real people's lives easier; One that makes them say, "This site worked for me." So we've made it our mission to ensure this kind of experience at the sites we build. At 37signals we don't see users, we see people.

Most people can't even figure out how to program their VCR. So how are they supposed to figure out the "cutting-edge" technology that so many major sites impose on people? A: They won't.
The web gives people an omnipresent exit door and they won't hesitate to use it. If your business depends on your site, you better be damn sure it's easy for people to use your site and find what they're looking for. We'll help you.
04 Not full service
We're designated hitters
We don't do your database integration. Or your search engine submissions. Or your online media buying. We do interfaces and the strategy behind them.
Why? Because we think companies that claim they can do everything actually excel at nothing. That's why we choose to do one thing and do it right.
05 Size does matter
Question:
Wouldn't you want your project to be 1 of 1 or 2 rather than 1 of 10 or 20?
We're small and we like it that way. It gives us the ability to turn on a dime, deliver projects quickly, and dedicate extraordinary attention to your assignment.
Our size allows us to work on projects we want to do rather than projects we have to do. Plus we can all fit in one cab if we squeeze.

07 Are they experienced?
| We've been designing sites since the web's commercial inception back in 1994. That's back when most designers thought a <TD> was some sort of football statistic. Ever since, we've been pushing the boundaries of HTML and innovating techniques that are commonplace today. We've got big game experience and we're money in the red zone. 08 Experience The members of the 37signals team have performed work for a wide range of clients such as:

| We're not fond of salesmen. That's why we don't have any. Call us and you'll talk with someone who's an expert at building web sites, not at selling you something you don't need. Call "bigwebshop" and you'll get a new business development manager or someone else who knows little about the web. This may help increase their sales but what does it do for you? At 37signals, we keep it real. No used cars. No snake oil. No miracle cures or fad diets. Just an honest take on what your web site should be and what it will cost. Refreshing, isn't it? 20 Sloganeering 37signals Simple for sale We See People Enemies of Mediocrity Putting the Pixels in the Right Place Megahaard Web sites my mom could use We're Only Human Extraordinary web sites for ordinary people Simplicity By Design Signal vs. Noise Web sites for people who can't program their VCRs We Put the "Dig It" in Digital 21 A Not "Q"

| "Usability is always secondary. It's never the most important thing about an experience. I will accept poor usability if I get what I need, if the total experience is great. I will reject perfect usability if I am not rewarded with a useful, engaging experience." -Donald Norman himself, author of "The Design of Everyday Things" | Usability isn't enough Usability this, usability that. With all the talk about usability people sometimes forget the other "u" word, usefulness. You can have the most usable site in the world but if it doesn't provide a useful, helpful service, you're just wasting your visitor's time. And, when your visitors are frustrated, your competitors are their best friends. So please, be usable and useful. |

The flower was considered so rare that wealthy aristocrats and merchants tripped over themselves to buy them. Speculation ensued and the flower became wildly overvalued. In 1637 the tulip trade crashed. People who thought of themselves as extremely rich were reduced to poverty overnight. Trends are temporary. Don't just do something because everyone else is doing it – do something because it makes sense. |

30 ASAP
We know, we know...you need it done yesterday. We're all living in web time now and it's redundant to even bother saying a project needs to be done ASAP.
At 37signals, we forgo the bloat and bureaucracy that plagues our industry. We don't have red tape or 5 layers of management. When you talk to us, you talk to us – not someone representing us.
We're sharp, efficient, and pay attention to the details. It's amazing what a difference this can make.

35 We come in peace
Be not afraid.
We're not racing to IPO; Big billings are not what drives us.
What drives us is the knowledge that the everyday person is seeing only the smallest glimpse, 1/100th at best, of the full potential of interactive media today. To most folks, the web is a scary place. Our mission is to change that perception.
36 Signal vs noise
Our soapbox
Signal vs. Noise is our weblog with ongoing dialogue and musings on the web world, design, entertainment, politics and whatever else we feel like talking about on that given day.
It's what's on our mind.

Hakikat Kematian Menurut Imam Al Ghazali
Dalam kitab Dzikr Al-Maut, Ihya Ulumuddin, Imam Al-Ghazali mengungkapkan, "Ketahuilah bahwa manusia memendam gagasan yang lancang dan keluru tentang hakikat kematian. Sebagian orang mengira kematian sebagai kesirnaan atau kelenyapan. Dianggap tidak.ada kebangkitan atau pengumpulan, juga tidak ada pembalasan atas kebaikan ataupun kejahatan. Kematian manusia dianggap seperti kematian hewan dan atau seperti keringnya daun atau tanaman. Ini adalah pandangan kaum ateis (al-Mulhidin) dan mereka tidak beriman kepada Allah dan Hari Akhir.
Ada juga kelompok yang berpendapat bahwa manusia yang mati itu akan sirna sehingga selama tinggal di dalam kubur dia tidak menderita siksaan ataupun menikmati pahala suatu amal baik sampai dia dibangkitkan kembali di hati Pengumpulan.
Kelompok yang lain berpandangan bahwa ruh manusia itu abadi dan tidak musnah bersama kematian, bahkan ruh itulah yang menjadi objek pemberian pahala atau penjatuhan siksa tanpa jasad yang sama sekali tidak dibangkitkan kembali.
Semua anggapan ini adalah keliru dan menyimpang dari kebenaran. Hal ini karena akal sehat, ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an dan banyak Hadis bersaksi bahwa kematian berarti perubahan keadaan, dan bahwa setelah kematian jasad, ruh manusia tetap hidup dan merasakan siksaan ataupun kebahagiaan. Maka, perpisahan ruh dengan jasad adalah bahwa ruh sama sekali tidak lagi efektif bagi jasad. Karena itu, jasad pun tak lagi tunduk pada perintah-perintahnya.
Sesungguhnya, anggota badan adalah alat ruh, yang dipakai ruh untuk menggerakkan tangan, mendengar dengan telinga, melihat dengan mata, dan mengetahui hakikat dengan kalbunya. Kalbu disini hanya ungkapan lain untuk "ruh". Sedangkan ruh sendiri mampu mengungkapkan berbagai hal tanpa harus menggunakan perantara alat tertentu. Itulah sebabnya dia bisa mengenyam rasa sedih dan duka nestapa. Dengan cara yang sama, dia juga mengecap rasa senang dan gembira. Semua itu tidak bergantung pada anggota tubuh.
Jadi, semua yang inheren pada ruh akan tetap berada bersamanya setelah dipisahkan dari jasad. Sedangkan yang timbul sebagai akibat keterkaitannya dengan anggota-anggota tubuh akan lenyap bersamaan dengan matinya jasad hingga tiba saatnya ruh dikembalikan pada jasadnya.
Bukanlah hal yang mustahil untuk mengatakan bahwa di alam kubur, ruh akan dipersatukan kembali dengan jasad, dan tidak mustahil pula bahwa penyatuan itu akan ditunda hingga datangnya hari kiamat. Allah lebih mengetahui hal yang telah ditetapkan-Nya atas setiap hamba.
Tidak lagi berfungsinya jasad setelah kematian sama dengan tidak berfungsinya anggota-anggota tubuh tertentu semasa hidup seseorang karena telah rusaknya daya keseimbangan, atau adanya kehancuran pada urat-urat atau sel-sel sehingga menghalangi ruh untuk meresap ke dalamnya. Dengan demikian, ruh yang mempunyai daya pengetahuan, berpikir dan merasa tetaplah ada, dan tetap memfungsikan sebagian anggota badan tapi tak mampu mengfungsikan sebagian yang lain.
Kematian adalah ungkapan tentang tak berfungsinya semua anggota tubuh yang memang merupakan alat-alat ruh. Yang dimaksud dengan ruh disini adalah abstraksi yang dengannya manusia menyarap pengetahuan, rasa sakit, dan lezatnya kebahagiaan. Lalu, meskipun daya kerjanya pada anggota-anggota badan telah hilang, namun pengetahuan dan pemahaman tersebut tidaklah rusak. Begitu pula kemampuannya mencerap rasa gembira, sedih, rasa sakit, atau senang.
Ruhlah yang menjadi esensi manusia, dan karena itu ruh bersifat abadi. Dan, pada saat kematian, ruh mengalami dua perubahan.
Pertama, ruh terpisah dari mata, telinga, kaki.dan semua anggota tubuh, seperti halnya dia terpisah dari keluarga, anak dan istri, rekan, pelayan dan semuanya. Tak.ada perbedaan antara apakah dia meninggalkan mereka atau mereka meninggalkannya.
Sesungguhnya makna kematian adalah terpisahnya seseorang dari kekayaannya sehubungan dengan perpindahannya ke alam lain yang sama sekali berbeda dengan dunia ini. Jika di dunia ini dia memiliki sesuatu yang disenangi, dia nikmati dan selalu dia cari, maka rasa sesalnya setelah mati akan bertambah besar dan perpisahan dengannya akan semakin berat.
Perubahan kedua terletak pada kenyataan bahwa dengan kematian, terungkaplah segala hal yang tidak bisa diungkapkan kepadanya pada masa hidup, seperti yang sering kali terungkap kepada orang yang terbangun dari tidur, banyak hal-hal yang masih tersembunyi baginya pada saat dia masih tertidur, karena "semua manusia dalam keadaan tidur dan kematianlah yang akan menyadarkannya."
---Imam Al-Ghazali dalam kitab Dzikr al-Mawt, Ihya Ulumuddin.

Falasi Sufi Salafi
Hisham TokWan
Long and last rant dari aku ttg perbalahan mazhab, nak move on, malas layan orang bodoh sombong yang banyak sangat dalam isu ni....
********************
VERSI POSITIF SALAFI: Memperjuangkan kefahaman bahawa Hadis dan dalil perlu disemak dan disahkan supaya tidak berlaku masalah bid'ah dan dogmaticism. Ilmu Hadis yang selalu dijuangkan amat bermanfaat kerana boleh menumpaskan hujah-hujah pengkritik Islam yang banyak mengkritik isu keaslian ajaran Islam. Ilmu Hadis diantara ilmu yang boleh menjadi bukti ajaran Islam yang asli memang boleh dibuktikan sahih, dan golongan salafi diantara yang banyak berjasa dalam hal ini.
VERSI NEGATIF SALAFI: Siapa baca qunut di waktu subuh dia tu ahlil bid'ah finnaarrrrr!!!
VERSI POSITIF 'SUFI': Mendidik akhlak dan adab, berlapang hati. Ilmu kalam amat luas ruang lingkupnya sampai mampu mematahkan hujah-hujah falsafah bukan Islam yang banyak mengganggu aqidah umat masa kini.
VERSI NEGATIF 'SUFI': Jom meratib dalam parit malam ni, sebab tok guru kata dia mimpi Nabi kata kalau meratib dalam parit malam ni, esok boleh terbang ke langit ke 7 jumpa arwah Bob Marley sebab Bob Marley sebenarnya ahli sufi!!!
***********
Hangpa nak tahu masalahnya dimana? Masalahnya ialah pentaksub salafi memukul rata sufi seperti sufi itu hanya seperti versi negatif sufi diatas. Dan vice versa pentaksub sufi lakukan masalah yang sama juga kepada golongan salafi.
Gagal menjadi objektif dan adil dalam berbahas, hanya memilih yang negatif sebagai kononnya bukti kebobrokan puak satu lagi. Dalam ilmu logik ia dinamakan falasi nutpicking. Banyak wakil-wakil kedua-dua extreme ini bukannya sedar pun mereka buat falasi ini.
Kedua-dua side mempunyai masalah hati iaitu riak dan sombong. Dari cara berhujah pun kita sudah nampak mereka tak ada langsung niat untuk nak membetulkan pihak lawan, berhujah hanya nak menunjuk aku juara hujah. Terer betul lah kau setan membelit hati hati mereka ini, aku respek kau setan! Serius ni!
Jangan cuba ditegur yang jenis fanatik kedua-dua puak ini, dia punya bebal syok sendiri dangan 'perjuangan kebenaran'nya memang sukar dibuang.
Mereka selalu buat falasi attacking the straw man, hasty generalization, to quo que, zero-sum, false dilemma, anecdotal, demonization, false cause, slippery slopes, ad hominem, burden of proof, false comparison, simplistic, non sequitor, drinking the cool aid serta pelbagai lagi falasi yang tidak objektif. Punya tidak objektif dan simplistiknya pemikiran mereka, teruknya, sampai kita tak tahu nak mula betulkan dari mana. Bila kita diam, dia syok sendiri pula!
Padahal geng pentaksub salafi ini(bawah ni aku maki 'sufi' juga, baca bagi habis bodoh!), kalau di-grill pemikiran mereka menggunakan hujah diluar parameter hujah Islamik, contohnya guna hujah falsafah atau ilmu Barat untuk melihat robust atau tidak pemikiran mereka bila berdepan hujah bukan Islam, memang kantoi teruk geng ni. Contohnya isu vantage point Islam dalam isu keaslian Bible, melalui point formgeschichte atau textkritik(entah faham ker tidak ni entah), salah satu contoh lah, masuk bab ism-ism Barat lain, jadi tikus repair labu terus, makin terbodoh saja dalam cubaan mereka kononnya nak merepair ummat...
Sama juga dengan extreme 'sufi', kalau di-grill melalui hujah perbandingan dengan hujah selain dunia Islam, contohnya melalui hujah sociology, anthropology, jadi bengong terus depa ni! Dua kali lima saja tikus baiki labu macam extreme salafi.
Konklusinya kedua-dua side extreme ini hanyalah jaguh kampung. Pakar menganjing sesama muslim sahaja. Perpecahan umat, itu saja result yang mereka buat.
Skrg tahun 2017, orang dah mula nak bincang posthumanism, transhumanism bagai, iaitu nak intergerate manusia dengan robot AI bagai, nak tanam kentang di Marikh, nak eradicate suffering melalui sains, nak hidup lama(super longevity) serta pelbagai lagi idea pelik-pelik yang menunggu nak melingkupkan manusia.
Salah seorang guru aku dulu ada cakap, "Some people will never be objective and nothing can be done about that" Bro Shah Kirit.
Mungkin kita boleh biarkan, tinggalkan saja dua geng polarity extreme 'sufi' dan extreme salafi ni dari ummah kita, better kita fokus kepada perjuangan yang lebih besar melawan worldview-worldview Barat yang lebih penting dari dok layan dua puak extreme syok sendiri ni...
Long and last rant dari aku ttg perbalahan mazhab, nak move on, malas layan orang bodoh sombong yang banyak sangat dalam isu ni....

Kayu Dan Kerusi
Kayu dan Kerusi
oleh Prof. Naquib al-Attas
Sekarang kita ambil contoh berkenaan kayu. Katalah ada seseorang tanya saya, “Apa itu kerusi dan bagaimana engkau mendefinisikannya?” Jadi, jika berkenaan bentuknya, saya katakanlah ia ada empat kaki, warnanya coklat dan berlapik kulit. Mungkin ada yang tidak bersetuju dengan saya berkenaan jawapan tersebut. Artis akan mengatakan ia bergantung kepada bagaimana seseorang memandang kerusi itu, di mana ia terletak, dan sudut cahaya yang menghala kepadanya. Kemudian fizikawan akan menegaskan bahawa ia terdiri daripada berbagai2 atom — sampai kepada berbagai2 lagi unsur yang terkandung dalam kerusi itu termasuklah sekayu mana kayu itu dengan memeriksa paku2 (yang diperbuat daripada besi) dan unsur2 lain selain kayu, dan apa atom yang terkandung dalam besi itu. Sejarawan pula akan tanya, dari mana datang kayu itu, dari hutan mana asalnya, bila ia dibuat, siapa tukangnya, jika pemotong kayu gunakan kapak, siapa pula yang buat kapak itu, siapa nama pemotong kayu itu. Jadi, jika engkau berterusan tanya sedemikian, kerusi itu menjadi masalah buat engkau, seterusnya kerusi itu dilupakan. Inilah yang nampaknya dilakukan para saintis moden.
Tapi, bila manusia memandang kerusi itu, manusia terus tahu bahawa ia adalah kerusi, pandangannya tidak sama dengan pandangan2 di atas kerana mereka yang disebutkan di atas itu sudah tidak bercakap berkenaan kerusi, tetapi benda lain. Maka apa yang dapat dikatakan adalah mungkin untuk mengetahui makna kerusi, maka yang perlu diketahui adalah had kebenaran yang mana apabila melampaui had ini ia bukanlah kerusi. Apa pula yang dimaksudkan dengan had kebenaran ini? Kerusi itu ada kerana manusia ada, tanpa manusia ia tiada — jawapannya ini engkau boleh dapat dengan beralasan, kerana manusia sahajalah yang melakukan perbuatan duduk. Dengan kata lain, kewujudan kerusi bergantung kepada perbuatan duduk itu. Inilah hadnya — jika tiada perbuatan duduk, tiadalah kerusi. Jadi jika engkau mengehadkannya sedemikian, dapatlah engkau tahu apa benda yang dikatakan kerusi itu. Satu perabot untuk engkau duduk yang memberikan pula kerehatan.
Karangan tadi berkenaan ilmu yakin. Saintis atau Barat memang sentiasa tak yakin dengan "kerusi" kerana yang ditinjau bukan lagi "kerusi", tetapi benda lain YANG DITINJAUNYA, sampai akhirnya meragui kepastian adanya ilmu ITU SENDIRI menyebabkan Barat sentiasa PROGRESS. CUBA FIKIR, JIKA KITA IKUT SENTIASA TAK PASTI SEDANGKAN NABI MUHAMMAD DAH ADA, MAKNANYA APA YANG NABI MUHAMMAD AJAR ITU PON BELUM PROGRESS ATAU BELUM SAMPAI kepada MAKNA SEBENAR SESUATU.

oleh Prof. Naquib al-Attas
Sekarang kita ambil contoh berkenaan kayu. Katalah ada seseorang tanya saya, “Apa itu kerusi dan bagaimana engkau mendefinisikannya?” Jadi, jika berkenaan bentuknya, saya katakanlah ia ada empat kaki, warnanya coklat dan berlapik kulit. Mungkin ada yang tidak bersetuju dengan saya berkenaan jawapan tersebut. Artis akan mengatakan ia bergantung kepada bagaimana seseorang memandang kerusi itu, di mana ia terletak, dan sudut cahaya yang menghala kepadanya. Kemudian fizikawan akan menegaskan bahawa ia terdiri daripada berbagai2 atom — sampai kepada berbagai2 lagi unsur yang terkandung dalam kerusi itu termasuklah sekayu mana kayu itu dengan memeriksa paku2 (yang diperbuat daripada besi) dan unsur2 lain selain kayu, dan apa atom yang terkandung dalam besi itu. Sejarawan pula akan tanya, dari mana datang kayu itu, dari hutan mana asalnya, bila ia dibuat, siapa tukangnya, jika pemotong kayu gunakan kapak, siapa pula yang buat kapak itu, siapa nama pemotong kayu itu. Jadi, jika engkau berterusan tanya sedemikian, kerusi itu menjadi masalah buat engkau, seterusnya kerusi itu dilupakan. Inilah yang nampaknya dilakukan para saintis moden.
Tapi, bila manusia memandang kerusi itu, manusia terus tahu bahawa ia adalah kerusi, pandangannya tidak sama dengan pandangan2 di atas kerana mereka yang disebutkan di atas itu sudah tidak bercakap berkenaan kerusi, tetapi benda lain. Maka apa yang dapat dikatakan adalah mungkin untuk mengetahui makna kerusi, maka yang perlu diketahui adalah had kebenaran yang mana apabila melampaui had ini ia bukanlah kerusi. Apa pula yang dimaksudkan dengan had kebenaran ini? Kerusi itu ada kerana manusia ada, tanpa manusia ia tiada — jawapannya ini engkau boleh dapat dengan beralasan, kerana manusia sahajalah yang melakukan perbuatan duduk. Dengan kata lain, kewujudan kerusi bergantung kepada perbuatan duduk itu. Inilah hadnya — jika tiada perbuatan duduk, tiadalah kerusi. Jadi jika engkau mengehadkannya sedemikian, dapatlah engkau tahu apa benda yang dikatakan kerusi itu. Satu perabot untuk engkau duduk yang memberikan pula kerehatan.
Karangan tadi berkenaan ilmu yakin. Saintis atau Barat memang sentiasa tak yakin dengan "kerusi" kerana yang ditinjau bukan lagi "kerusi", tetapi benda lain YANG DITINJAUNYA, sampai akhirnya meragui kepastian adanya ilmu ITU SENDIRI menyebabkan Barat sentiasa PROGRESS. CUBA FIKIR, JIKA KITA IKUT SENTIASA TAK PASTI SEDANGKAN NABI MUHAMMAD DAH ADA, MAKNANYA APA YANG NABI MUHAMMAD AJAR ITU PON BELUM PROGRESS ATAU BELUM SAMPAI kepada MAKNA SEBENAR SESUATU. INILAH YANG KORANG AJAR KAT KORANG SENDIRI KEMUDIAN KORANG AJAR LAK KAT ANAK2 KORANG DALAM SEMUA BIDANG DI UNIVERSITAS. Bahasa istilahnya sufastaiyyah, indiyah, la adriyah etc. Jangan main2 k.

From Doubt To Certainty
This session will be a journey from doubt to conviction.
Fadel Saleh Samerai=He is from a village Samerai in Iraq, thats how a lot of Arabs name themselves.
He wrote a long time ago a book, my journey from doubt do conviction about the Prophet SAWW.
He was a highly intelligent,observant very young man who studied philosophy and got convinced that all religions are manmade, and only superstitious people believe in Heaven and Hell and he lost all faith in religion. And he thought that a lot of people around him also have doubts like him but are afraid to say it. And people are just following religion because religion runs within family and they dont even think about it. Then when he went to a University it was more secular so he finally expressed that he did not believe. But he still kept the possibility that it COULD be the truth. So he started writing some notes which were in favour and in against of religion.
I can say,do,eat whatever I want and live however I want if I leave this religion and if I accept it, it will put restrictions on me. Whats my life going to be like if I believe it or dont?
Even the Prophet said that the world is a prison for the believer and paradise for the disbeliever.
He was very knowledgeable and became the head of Phd in University of Baghdad but he refused to even study the Quran, although he read so many Arab books and on philosophy. He was proud of being an Arab thats why he studied ancient Arabic because he wanted to preserve his heritage. But he always stayed away from Quran because he wanted to keep his freedom.
One of his student suggested that he wrote a book which would be a critique on Quran and point out the mistakes in Quran to criticise it in his thesis. And he ends up writing around 18 books on the fact that Quran cannot possibly be a humans word. He then became famous and got his own TV show.
Another person is Abdur Rauf that I would like to introduce you to
Arabs were traditional people, desert people and travelled like nomads.
Nobody was interested in conquering Arab because there was no fertile land there and it was just desert.
They were in between Roman and Persian empires. So nobody messed with Arab and left them alone because it could lead to a war between the superpowers Roman and Persians. So Arabs spoke only to themselves so their language was very pure.
When too many cultures collide, the native language suffers as it becomes influenced by so many other cultures. e.g. English suffers in New york city because the place is full of immigrants each with their own brand of English.Urdu has also been heavily influenced by English. When a language is free of influences, it flourishes e.g. Arabic.
Arabs had no scenery around them, nothing! just desert. So it let their imagination go wild. Some of th emost remarkable writings have been written in prison. It makes people creative.
Arabic word for intellect is AQAL.
Iqaal was a rope people used to tie on their head, and it was used for tying camels.
It was used as a leash.
A leash restricts movement, so they say the intellect is what holds you back from doing stupid things.
e.g. Knife is called Sikkeen and sikkeen means PAUSE, so its a device to stop your life and breathing. Sikkeen also means coolness because it brings stillness and coolness to the animal before they kill it.
So Arabs have visual imagery associated with their words and their language is very picturesque and rich.
They had nothing to be proud of so they became proud of their language. In fact they were so proud that they thought every other language sounded retarded compared to theirs. So they took great care of their language. The tribes would have poetry competitions and battles. And they were so crazy about it that they killed the poet who could not beat the poet of the other tribe.
When the Quran came it also invited Arabs to produce something similar to the Quran. The Prophet SAWW entered Surah Kausar in a competition of poetry, when the Arabs did not even know it was Quran. And they heard it and said that it cant be the word of a human(Maa haaza qaulul bashar). They hung it on the kaabah.
Another incident:They sent their best poet Walid bin Mughaira to do a poetry slam with the Prophet SAWW. He was confident. He offered to give him women and money and governership. The Prophet SAWW recited some Quran in reply,Walid bin Mughaira began to CRY so hard. And he grabbed the mouth of the Prophet SAWW and said that I cannot take it anymore. He came back and said that I know poetry and thats not poetry and I know magic but its not magician and I know insanity but this is not insane speech. This Quran is bound to dominate.
Allah had not made the Prophet capable of poetry but he SAWW loved poetry.The Prophet SAWW used to have a poet Hassaan. Even the muslim tribes used to compete for poetry. So he wrote a poem about his tribe: Even the bowls in which we give charity shine. Imagine what is in it. We do impossible rescue missions so much so that our swords dont even get a chance to become dry. So the first line was about how generous he was and second was how brave he was. Everybody was impressed.
Khansa, a female sahabiya had comments, she said you used Jafanaat(you only have 9 or less bowls although you could have used a plural word) so you are not really that rich. You said Al gurr(they twinkle), anything can shine even rocks. You should have said they twinkle so much that they look white(use the word Beed). Then she said they twinkle during that day, thats not a big deal, the big deal is when something sparkles during the night, especially when it becomes a source of light. And you used Asyaaf for swords (you should have used suwoofoona), you said it drips with blood(yajreena- they flow, and rivers,NOT drops of blood). They loved doing this. Arabs LOVE correcting.They could have corrected the Quran the same way. But they were baffled. They were ready to fight and kill muslims instead of producing a Surah like this. Allah says gather the whole humanity and produce something like this.
Tufail Ibn Dosee= He was the leader of his tribe, and wanted to pay his respects to Makkah. Each tribe had an idol in Makkah around which they made pilgrimage. The leaders of Quraysh wanted to protect him from falling into the hands of Muhammad SAWW, so they met him outside Makkah to warn him. If a tribal leader accepts Islam, the whole tribe accepts Islam, so they were concerned about it. They told him that Muhammad SAWW casts spells on people and divides families, so he should go back. Tufail did not want to go back so they gave him cork to plug his ears, if he heard the messenger SAWW listening. He hears Muhammad SAWW's recitation and plugs his ears, and begins to run. On second thought, he defiantly goes back to the Messenger SAWW because of his arrogance and self confidence, but ends up taking shahadah.
A historical perspective
Quran came down over the course of 23 years.
The society transformed from a polytheistic society to a society which worshipped Allah alone.
Before they used to think women were NOTHING. But they became the most noble now. The only being Allah uses the word taqwa for apart from Himself is mothers. Allah said be conscious of the wombs of mothers.
All tribes and all people became equal.
There came restrictions on eating and drinking and business.
Women could dress provocatively before but now they became women of Haya.
It changed how the people lived and how they love and hate, their mannerism, how people speak, politics, sociology, everything!
All of these changes occurred in just 23 years. Societies dont transform that quickly! There is no other example of such a complete change in society! Neither before the Quran and nor after the Quran.
If you study all the revolutions, they take a long time for ideas to seep into the society. And usually the people who intiate them are philosophers or authors who are not themselves on the battlefield. The person giving the idea and the person carrying it out is never the same.
Some people say that if Islam was so perfect, why did it last for only a short time in its perfect form(up til khulafa rashideen RA)?But the counterargument is that this is the only periods of time in history when a set of ideas was implemented in totality hundred percent. Not in bits and pieces.
The Quran was given to the Prophet SAWW who did not know how to read and write. The Quran did not exist as a book back then. The sahaba at that time could never think of the Quran without thinking of the Prophet and they were inseparable as they got it THROUGH the Prophet SAWW.
The word Dunya is used 115 times. The word Akhirah 115 times.
Angels 88 times. Devil 88 times
Life 145 times. Death 145 times.
Good deeds 167 times.Bad deeds 167 times.
Disbelief 17 times. Belief 17 times.
Iblees 11 times. Seeking refuge 11 times.
They said 332 times (qaalo). SAY 332 times.
Month is used 12 times.
Day is 365 times.
Prayer 5 times.
These miracles are not humanly possible. Remember the Quran was not in book form. It was step by step revealed in 23 years. No human can possibly estimate how many times he said what. Its not possible.
Much of the names used in Quran e.g. Ibrahim,Zakariyya,Aazir etc were not Arab names. And Arabs were culturally isolated and unaware of their meanings.
e.g. now we found out that Musa is NEWBORN. The Quran says that the wife of Pharoah said We could take him as a Musa/newborn. The Quran used the word Musa(translated it). The Quran is in Arabic and has knowledge and translations of other names. The Arabs could not have known this.
e.g. Ismael means God listens. Ibrahim AS said this because his prayer was accepted about Ismael AS. The Quran says Master accept from us you are the one who listens.
3,5,7,9,11,13,65(Multiple of 65). Thats how Sahaba used to recite the Quran. Once every week as Manaazil. And it was not in book form yet but this was so mathematical.
Fadel Saleh Samerai=He is from a village Samerai in Iraq, thats how a lot of Arabs name themselves.
He wrote a long time ago a book, my journey from doubt do conviction about the Prophet SAWW.
He was a highly intelligent,observant very young man who studied philosophy and got convinced that all religions are manmade, and only superstitious people believe in Heaven and Hell and he lost all faith in religion.

Pesan Berantai Menjadi Dosa Berantai
Dalam satu kursus bina diri,dibuat satu permainan pesan berantai iaitu peserta berada dalam satu baris.Satu pesanan secara lisan disampaikan kpd seorang yg di hujung baris dan diminta disampaikan kepada orang dibelakangnya dan orang itu pula menyampaikan kpd orang seterusnya hingga ke hujung baris.Apa yg didapati ialah apa yg disampaikan kpd peserta pertama sudah berubah bila disampaikan pada peserta terakhir.
Iktibar yg selalu diambil dari permainan ini ialah perlunya ketelitian dalam komunikasi dan mendengar serta memahami.Sikap manusia suka menambah, memanjang,menghubung, menghurai ikut fikirannya.Kelemahan manusia untuk mengingat tidak sama antara mereka.
Dalam ilmu komunikasi moden disebut hal ini sebagai data processing inequality iaitu proses informasi biasanya tidak menambah baik informasi,sebaliknya berkurang baik dari segi maklumat atau qualiti maklumat.Dengan ini difahami apa juga maklumat yg sampai kpd kita, mungkin telah ada perubahan, penambahan dan kecacatan dari sumber asal, maka jika kita nak pastikan maklumat itu betul,tepat,kita kena kembali ke sumber asal atau mensahihkannya.
Rasulullah telah menyedari hal ini sebelum kita menemui teori data processing inequality atau iktibar dari pesan berantai, yg menyebabkan baginda mengingatkan umatnya sejak dari zamannya dg sabdanya.
Dari Abu Hurairah RA, dari Nabi shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam, beliau bersabda,
كَفَى بِالْمَرْءِ كَذِبًا أَنْ يُحَدِّثَ بِكُلِّ مَا سَمِعَ
“Cukup seseorang dikatakan berdusta, jika ia menceritakan segala apa yang ia dengar.” (HR. Muslim no. 5).
Imam Malik menyebutkan, "Ketahuilah, sesungguhnya seseorang tidak akan selamat jika dia menceritakan setiap yang didengarnya, dan dia tidak layak menjadi seorang imam , sedangkan dia selalu menceritakan setiap yang didengarnya".
Jadi apa juga maklumat yg kita dengar,yg disampaikan,tidak boleh kita sampaikan kpd orang lain selagi kita tidak mensahihkannya kerana dikhuatiri maklumat itu telah berubah dari asalnya,dan dg itu kita digolongkan sebagai berdusta.Dalam dunia moden hari ini dimana manusia makin kurang bercakap tetapi lebih berwhatsapp,share,copy, walaupun mungkin perkataan tetap sama,tetapi kesahihan sumber perlu dipastikan.Mungkin juga maklumat itu telah berubah bila masa berlalu, contoh yg perlu bantuan kerana sakit,telah dibantu,atau telah mati, sedangkan kita masih share,copy cerita yg lama.Tidakkah itu satu dusta dan pembohongan.Istilah 'saya copy dari group sebelah' tidak menyebabkan malaikat yg dikiri tidak mencatatnya sebagai dosa,kerana kita tidak sahihkan,kita berdusta.Saya tahu,hasrat hati nak buat baik tetapi telah menjadi dosa yg berantai kerana ujudnya manusia lain pula yg share,copypaste.
Berhentilah dari memanjang maklumat tanpa kesahihan,nabi larang.Tolong sampaikan itu baik,tetapi sahihkan,jangan bila ditanya,sekedar jawab saya tolong panjangkan shj.Bahkan ada orang yg menulis kata bagai mengancam 'jika anda seorang muslim','jika anda ada hati' dsbnya untuk minta dipanjangkan, adalah sesuatu yg menjebak dosa.Hakikatnya jika kita tidak menyebar satu maklumat,bukanlah berdosa,tetapi jika kita menyampai maklumat yg tidak benar,itu dusta.Sebab itu disebut diam lebih baik dari berkata kecuali perkataan yg baik dan benar.
Beberapa kali saya pernah mendengar orang perkhabaran seseorang mati,tetapi akhirnya,tersalah maklumat.Ada seorang ajk masjid ditempat saya dah buat pengumuman seseorang mati kerana dengar cerita,nasib baik ada jemaah yg segera mensahihkan dan membetulkan maklumat yg salah itu.Saya rasa anda pun pernah alami hal ini,inilah bukti benarnya pesan nabi.Berhentilah dari bercerita, share,copy,whatsapp sesuatu yg tidak disahihkan sendiri,anda sedang menjana dosa berdusta.Dok rasa kita buat baik,rupanya dok berdusta. Wallahua'lam
