Your wish is my wish


All your armies, all your fighters
All your tanks, and all your soldiers
Against a boy holding a stone
Standing there all alone
In his eyes I see the sun
In his smile I see the moon
And I wonder, I only wonder
Who is weak, and who is strong?
Who is right, and who is wrong?
And I wish, I only wish
That the truth has a tongue

(Sami Yusuf "My Only Wish-Interlude")

Dear Palestinians
May this month be a glorious one for you.

Know Our Thresholds


We tried to do so many things at one time, trying our best to cater all the problems.

And we thought that that might be the best thing to do.

The fact is, we can't handle it single-handedly, or in one go.

It is best if we could find the thing that really defines our body of work and just work on it to the fullest potential rather than trying to do EVERYTHING.

If not, we'll end up with more problems, not solutions.

We can only go so far.

Be focused.

At A Point in Time

"Pernah suatu ketika, ada seorang ikhwah yang kuat bekerja. Taklifan demi taklifan diberi kepadanya, sehingga pada suatu masa, akhlaqnya akan berubah. Suasana bersama ikhwah tidak lagi semesra dahulu. Suasana yang dikenalinya hanya suasana yang menekan jiwa dan raga semata. Apabila bermesyuarat bersama ikhwah, dia akan sentiasa menganggap dia seorang sahaja yang membuat kerja, orang lain pula tidak bersungguh. Dia akan mula mengungkit kerja-kerjanya yang terdahulu."

Jangan sampai kita jatuh ke situasi begini. Sekali terlajak, payah hendak berundur. Sepatutnya apabila sudah ada visi dan misi yang jelas, suasana sebegini tidak sepatutnya berlaku. Jangan kerana kerja teknikal, ukhuwah tergadai.
