.Independence Day.

taken from malaysiaharmoni.com,

Adakah kita generasi merdeka?

merdeka
Setiap tahun tanggal 31 Ogos akan dinanti-nantikan oleh rakyat Malaysia. Tahun ini rakyat Malaysia akan menyambut Hari Kebangsaan yang ke-52. Pada dasarnya tempoh 52 tahun merupakan jangka masa yang sudah memadai untuk mematangkan setiap warga yang merdeka. Pastinya Hari Kebangsaan juga merupakan sesuatu yang sangat bermakna dan bernilai untuk golongan muda walaupun tidak terlibat secara langsung dengan perjuangan kemerdekaan oleh nenek moyang kita dahulu.

Kemerdekaan bermaksud kebebasan dan kemampuan melakukan sesuatu tanpa sekatan atau halangan atau kongkongan belenggu oleh sesuatu (sila lihat Kamus Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka).
Mungkinkah tokoh kemerdekaan seperti almarhum Dr Burhanuddin al-Hilmi, Mat Kilau, Datuk Onn Jaafar dan ramai lagi dikenali dan dapat dijadikan contoh oleh generasi muda sebagai pejuang tanah air dan pada masa yang sama berjaya mencurah bakti kepada tanah air?
Setiap perjuangan menuntut kemerdekaan memerlukan kegigihan dan pengorbanan yang amat besar. Banyak sekali pengorbanan yang dicurahkan oleh ramai insan demi kemerdekaan. Air mata, darah, keringat, tenaga, wang ringgit, harta benda dan nyawa dikorbankan tanpa mengharapkan balasan melainkan kebebasan.
Namun, sejauh manakah generasi hari ini menghargai perjuangan nenek moyang kita membebaskan tanah air dari belenggu bangsa asing sehingga Malaysia akhirnya dimerdekakan pada 31 Ogos 1957? Setelah 52 tahun berlalu, apakah makna nikmat kemerdekaan itu dalam setiap tindakan generasi muda hari ini?
Hakikatnya, kemerdekaan bukanlah sesuatu yang cukup sekadar dilakarkan dalam lakaran sejarah atau diraikan tahun demi tahun tanpa penghayatan yang sebenar.
Sebagai generasi muda, remaja dan belia mesti dididik untuk menghargai nikmat kemerdekaan yang diperoleh ini. Di sini dikongsikan beberapa cadangan bagaimana golongan muda boleh menghargai kemerdekaan yang kita miliki hari ini.
Antaranya:
1. Merdekakan minda - Kemerdekaan tanah air tidak akan membawa makna yang mendalam sekiranya kita sebagai rakyat tidak memerdekakan minda kita daripada penjajahan budaya yang negatif dan merosakkan. Selaku bangsa yang berdaulat, rakyat Malaysia memiliki adab, nilai-nilai murni dan budaya tersendiri. Dengan membebaskan diri daripada belenggu jajahan budaya yang merosakkan, barulah kita menjadi generasi yang benar-benar bebas dan merdeka.
2. Bersyukur dan menghargai kemerdekaan - Bersyukur dan menghargai kemerdekaan boleh diterjemahkan oleh generasi muda melalui kesungguhan mereka menuntut ilmu dan belajar bersungguh-sungguh tidak kira di mana pun mereka berada. Hanya dengan ilmu, kita akan dipandang mulia dan mampu bersaing dalam dunia yang penuh mencabar ini.
3. Bersungguh-sungguh ke arah kemajuan - Memajukan diri dari segenap sudut setara dengan kemajuan material yang ada selepas Malaysia merdeka. Pembangunan setara yang dimaksudkan ialah pembangunan seimbang dari segenap aspek fizikal, emosi dan spiritual. Golongan muda mestilah bersungguh-sungguh memajukan diri dalam apa jua bidang yang mampu memajukan negara, bangsa dan agama. Sikap cukup dengan apa yang ada adalah sikap yang tidak akan membawa kita lebih jauh dan maju ke hadapan. Golongan muda mesti lebih bersungguh-sungguh memajukan diri, keluarga dan masyarakat.
4. Sentiasa bersedia menghadapi cabaran - Golongan muda mesti sentiasa bersiap siaga untuk mengharungi segala cabaran yang ada atau yang mendatang. Kelalaian dan keselesaan dengan perkara-perkara yang tidak membawa kebaikan akan menjadikan kita bangsa yang lemah dan mundur. Sepatutnya semakin lama kita merdeka semakin kita bersedia membawa Malaysia ke puncak persada antarabangsa.
5. Sejarah turun-temurun – Sejarah dan perjuangan nenek moyang kita untuk mendapatkan kemerdekaan mestilah disampaikan dengan tepat dan berterusan daripada generasi kepada generasi akan datang. Tujuannya agar mereka menghargai serta menghayati pengorbanan yang dilakukan oleh para pejuang kemerdekaan. Dengan ini mereka akan bertambah sayang pada tanah air dan bersedia mempertahankan nikmat kemerdekaan yang diperoleh.

salam (peace be upon you), a video to share

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkOgLELbIvg&eurl

something to ponder,
An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The
Almighty.

He asks one of his new students to stand and...


Prof: So you believe in God?


Student: Absolutely, sir.


Prof: Is God good?


Student: Sure.


Prof: Is God all-powerful?


Student: Yes.


Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt
to help others who are ill. But God didn’t. How is this God good then? Hmm?


Student: Silent.


Prof: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fellow. Is God good?


Student: Yes.


Prof: Is Satan good?


Student: No.


Prof: Where does Satan come from?


Student: Silent.


Prof: Tell me son, is there evil in this world?


Student: Yes.


Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it?


Student: Yes.


Prof: So who created evil?


Student: Silent.


Prof: Is there sickness, Immorality, Hatred, Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world,
don’t they?


Student: Yes, sir.


Prof: So, who created them?


Student: Silent.


Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me,
son...Have you ever seen God?


Student: No, sir.


Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?


Student: No, sir.


Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory
perception of God for that matter?


Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.


Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?


Student: Yes.


Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn’t exist.
What do you say to that, son?


Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.


Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.


Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?


Prof: Yes.


Student: And is there such a thing as cold?


Prof: Yes.


Student: No sir. There isn’t. (The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)


Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little
heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is
no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word
we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the
opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it. (There is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)


Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?


Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?


Student: You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light,
normal light, bright light, flashing light... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing
and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it were you would be able to make
darkness darker, wouldn’t you?


Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?


Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.


Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?


Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is
death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something
we can measure. Sir, science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but
has never seen, much less fully understood, either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to
be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of
life: just the absence of it.


Now tell me, Professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?


Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.


Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir? (The Professor shakes his head
with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is going.)


Student: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that
this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a
scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.)


Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain? (The class breaks
out into laughter!)


Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt
it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable,
demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do
we then trust your lectures, sir? (The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable. )


Prof: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.


Student: That is it sir... The link between man and God is FAITH. That is all that keeps things

.reminder.

salam,
alhamdulillah (praise be to Allah),its been 3 days now, we muslim
celebrate the month of ramadhan (fasting month), heard an interesting reminder
during tarawih today based on this verse,

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيَامُ 

كَمَا كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ)
" O you who have believed, decreed upon you is fasting 
as it was decreed upon those before you that you may 
become righteous."  [Quran; 2:183]


O les croyants! On vous a prescrit as-Siyam comme 
on l'a prescrit à ceux d'avant vous, ainsi atteindrez-vous la piété, 


What is the purpose of Fasting?
The purpose of fasting is not physical training to endure 
hunger, thirst and exhaustion; rather, it is disciplining the 
ego to relinquish the loved for the sake of the Beloved. The 
loved are the desires of eating, drinking, sexual activities etc., 
while the Beloved is Allaah, the Exalted. Hence,it is imperative 
to keep in mind when we observe fasting that we do so only for
the sake of Allaah. It becomes imperative on us to try our best to 
observe the rites that reflect our obedience to Allaah, such as the remembrance of Allaah, reading the Quran, supererogatory prayers, 
charitable deeds and donations, good manners, etc

.shisha.

                        Shisha 'as harmful as cigarettes'
                        By Perminder Khatkar
                        BBC Asian Network
Young women smoking shisha

Shisha is an Arabic water-pipe in which fruit-scented tobacco is burnt
Smoking a shisha pipe is as bad for people as smoking tobacco, the Department of 
Health and the Centre for Tobacco Control Research has found.
People who smoke shisha, or herbal tobacco, can suffer from
high carbon monoxidelevels, its research revealed.
It found one session of smoking shisha resulted in carbonmonoxide levels
at least four to five times higher than the amount produced by a cigarette.
High levels of carbon monoxide can lead to brain damage
and unconsciousness.Shisha is an Arabic water-pipe in
which fruit-scented tobacco is burnt using coal,passed through an
ornate water vessel and inhaled through a hose.
Dr Hilary Wareing, director of the Centre for Tobacco Control Research, told the
BBC's Asian Network she was shocked by the results of the research.
"Our mouths opened at the level of harm - none of the tests we
did showed anythingother than shisha is hazardous to health."
Paul Hooper, regional manager at the Department of Health, said
the findings madethe dangers of shisha a  "major issue".
He said many people regard shisha "as not even smoking".
Misconception
Shisha bars, which are typically decked out with low stools and soft cushions to
create an inviting atmosphere, have become popular in cities across the UK,
particularly London, Manchester and Birmingham.
At the worst, shisha was 400 to 450 times more dangerous than having a cigarette

Dr Hilary Wareing
Centre for Tobacco Control Research
An activity largely associated with Middle Eastern customers and a
young crowd,there is a growing trend of themed shisha parties.
Many people who go to "shisha evenings"
think it is a safer alternative to smoking cigarettes.
"You never see it in the news - 'that is terrible, don't do it' -
there's no shock tactics like (there is with) cigarettes," said one young woman.
