Walk the Talk

Its been a while since I wrote the last entry of this blog. im in holiday mood..hehe, I went to Malaysia bookfair last Saturday with my roommate, jamilah n I spent rm150 n bought lots of books! I just cant help myself from reading those novels from Judith mcnaught n jodi picoult. I got 50% less. Fuh, if only mama knew..huhu. mati aku! A week before that I’ve spent rm500 buying new shoes, bag n cd’s..erk. duit dlm bank berbalance rm100..ehe, tu la pkembangan tbaru aku

Okay, more serious. last night, I was reading about sumthing n was thinking about how people say Islam being the world order stuff, n what strikes me as interesting was just that; how people saying it out loud, not doing it in practice.

It’s rather interestingly frustrating that people seem to say many things but also seem contented to just sit in their quiet corner doing only the minimal, if not nothing.It’s simple, work for what one believed in, n God willing, one will reap what one sows but when people say Islam will certainly come on top someday, do they really walk their talk?

I mean, we all know that that will inevitably happen, but what do we do? This is especially true for students, who has the most free time of all adults. Dun b so conceited n arrogant by saying that I hv no time, I need 2 concentrate on my studies; these are, quite frankly, selfish n rather immature.

If u want to talk like that, fair enough, but please list down how many hours u waste on the internet doing stuff that doesn't really matter to the world, watching on you tube things that doesn't add anything to ur knowledge, talking to friends about the latest trends and fashions, talking about gossips of this artist and that.

If u still dun want to care, then fine but dun give d excuse of not having enough time to do ur part in society if u are doing things like that and don't study, it makes u look rather weak.

Time is a funny thing, because when u is hard pressed to do something, then u can finish it in a quick and efficient manner but when u has too much time in one's hand, then the efficiency simply goes down. Dun take time as being something absolute, the human consciousness may very well be intimately intertwined with time itself.

And please, stop saying things like I dun care about politics, or I dun want to get involved in society because I'm bad at communicating with people; fact is, very few people are good with people. In fact, if u're bad at it, then it is precisely why u should do it.

We always say that the youth are the agents of change, and we always look to the time of the prophet as being such a good example of this but we seldom take a step back and think, what hv I done for the betterment of society? do I even care enough about society to act?

And acting does not mean looking at people in society that needs help, but never talk to any of those so-called troubled people and try to understand them, much less help them. All we do is scorn at them.

Doing something is not that hard, one only needs a few hours in a week to help (compare that to the amount of unnecessary sleep that u gets), and there is always room for more people, if u decide to join, that is.

It is funny that we say we study hard in the university for the sake of ALLAH and that we will contribute to His cause when we work, when in reality we sit in our own corner, doing enough to satisfy our whims, and do the bare minimum for Islam.Funny, isn't it? When students say 'I want to be an Islamic doctor,' or 'I want to be an Islamic engineer,' when all they do is reading books, pass exams, get a job, get a spouse, buy a big house, produce some kids, and die..:)

lets think about it, friends..
