Brothers and sisters,
Dare yourself to rise up against the enshrouding dark cumulonimbus cloud on top of our head. Have you forgotten what Saiyidina Ali r.a. said? He said,

"O World! Do you want to deceive me after being decorated? Get out from here and deceive some other person. I sever all my relations from you forever. Your age is short and yours company is abject; and to be overtaken by misery over here is easier (than in the Hereafter). Ah! Ah! The Provision is short and the journey is long and the way is dangerous.."

Herewith is a revealing lecture by Imam Anwar Al 'Awlaki, in which he disclose that our enemy are at our own front yard and yet we are inside the house baffling about rising of oil and food price, corruptions, moral desecration, and human inequalities.
Imam Anwar emphasized that Islam, our beloved religion is currently under a great threat, many shall prevail if no actions to be taken by us, Muslim brothers and sisters. We can't say what is happening now in Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, Nigeria et cetera is not our responsibility. For we Muslims had crossed the border of ethnicities and races as told by the Prophet Muhammad in his last speech. Indeed we shall do whatever we can to ease the pain in the other part of this great Ummah.

His lecture was delivered to a South African audience via live phone link on Sunday 11 May 2008. It was part of a Conference held by PureIslam Da’wah and Publications themed: Holding on to Hot Coals - Surviving as a Muslim in the West. An important topic that is going unnoticed by the majority of people around the world. With the advancement of communications in the world, the enemies are not only plotting away with their weapons but also with their lies portrayed in the media spreading all sorts of lies to justify the slaughter of innocent human beings.

Imaam Anwar al-’Awlaki said,

“…And this cowardly thing, I have heard it again and again. And I’m amazed that some Muslims like parrot are repeating this accusation. And Subhanallah, I failed to understand how the Israeli soldier wearing his bulletproof vest and his steel helmet, covering behind the pile of sandbags and still runs away from the stones thrown by the Palestinian children are called courageous. And the Palestinian children, ….”

“So they (America) are failing, and Mrs. Bernard and her cronies at RAND and the Pentagon should know that their plan would fail because Allah is the best of planners, and that the fundamentalists and extremists - whom they despise - are not only going to win in Afghanistan and ‘Iraaq, but they will continue their march until they drive your people, the Jews, out of the Holy Land and plant their black banners on the rooftops of Jerusalem.”


Here is part of the transcript, which I had written down..

Dear Brother and Sister, Assalamualaikum Warahmatullah hi wabarakatuh

Alhamdulillah.
We ask Allah Azza Wajjal to accept our effort. We ask Allah Azza Wajjal that He provide us with beneficial knowledge. As was announced the topic of this lecture is “The Battle of Hearts and Minds”. And I started by reading you a quote from a report by RAND Institute in 2007 states that the struggle underway throughout much of the Muslim world is essentially as a war of idea. Its outcome will determine the future direction of Muslim world.

So, there is a struggle of idea right now in the Muslim world. According to the United States Defense Department in its quadrennial defense report, the US involve in the war that is the battle of arms and the battle of ideas. A war when ultimate victory will be achieved when extremist ideologies are discredited in the eye their host population. So, according to RAND and according to the Pentagon and truthfully itself there is a struggle of idea going on in the Muslim world. What is their position in this internal affair that concerned the Muslim?

This battle of idea between those who wants to follow Islam as revealed to Muhammad S.A.W. and those who want to pick and choose from Islam. They want to follow Islam selectively. Now, this issue is not new with Muslim. In every age there are ahlul-Haq and there are those who want to deviate from Islam. Throughout our history, this was a struggle that Allah destined to remain.

And even existed among the believing nation before us, for example the Bani Israel; there were those who held on to the truth and there were those whom Allah said in the Quran: “They changed the meaning of the words.” So, they will take the words of the Bible and they will change them. The scribe will change the words. Some of that were done to please the authority of that time. Because we know that Bani Israel lived under various nations. For example, the lived under the Roman rules, and at that time the Romans were pagans. And they lived under the rules of the Kings of Babil; they were pagans too. And according to a story mentioned in tafseer; that at a particular time some of the Rabbis gave a fatwa to the King of Babylon allowing him to have a haram relationship. But they did in such a fatwa to please their king. So they changed the rule of Allah Azza Wajjal in order to please the human being.

This conflict of ideas that is going on in the Muslim world, what are these non Muslims doing about it? According to the US news and world report, today Washington is fighting back. After repeated of miss steps since the 9-11 attack, the US government has embarks on a campaign of political warfare unmatched since the height of the Cold War. From military psychological operation team, and CIA covert operatives to openly funded media and think tanks, Washington is throwing tens of million of dollars into a campaign to influenced not only Muslim societies but Islam itself! Now hear this again, the US is trying to change Islam itself.

Without any shame they openly stating that we have a desire not only to influence the societies but we want to change the religion itself. Probably in the time of Bani Israel those Rabbis that change the book of Allah never dare to say so openly. These without even hiding it are saying that we want to change Islam. Yes we do. And then the article carry on to say that at least two dozen countries Washington has quietly funded Islamic radio and television shows, coursework in Muslim schools, Muslim think tanks, political workshop or other programs that promote moderate Islam. Federal aid is going to restore mosques, salvation Quran and even built Islamic schools. Well, as we see here they are trying to promote this moderate Islam, moderate according to their definition and they are spending millions of dollar to do so.

Brothers and sisters,
When a Muslim, a true Muslim, hear this; he hears that non Muslim who has no knowledge about religion who do not believe in Allah Azza Wajjal and do not believe in Muhammad SAW and do not take Quran as their book of Allah, when a Muslim hears that such a people are openly claiming that he want to change your religion, this should make every any Muslim who has any love of Allah Sallallahu wa Taala angry. How dare you and who are you to tell us what Islam is and isn’t? In fact we even found that President Bush is standing in front of the microphone teaching us about Islam. Giving us khutbah about Islam. In an address that he gave in 2002, he asserted that Islam is a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world. And has made brothers and sisters of every race. It’s a faith base upon love not hate.

Now his statement is true, I mean Islam is a faith that brings comfort to a billion people around the world and has made brothers and sisters of every race and it’s a faith base upon love not hate. I mean the statement is to some extent is right, but who is Bush to tell us what is Islam is and isn’t? Who gave him the authority to speak for Islam? Subhanallah. We even found some Muslims at the time were happy and proud that Bush had spoken this way about Islam. But the issue shows the arrogance and the condescending view didn’t go unnoticed even on some non-Muslim commentators. One of them said, he said, sarcastically that the political leadership collectively appeared to have acquired an instant post graduate degree in Islamic studies enabling them to lecture the population concerning the true nature of Islam.

In another report by RAND, by the way RAND is a 1600 employees, non profit organization that provides analysis to US Department of Defense. It’s connected to Pentagon. And somehow, RAND Corporation has taken a liking lately to this issue of the Battle of the Heart and Mind and they have written more than one publications on this topic. I will during this talk quote from some of their publications.

In the report titled Civil Democratic Islam by Cheryl Bernard. She’s a Jew married to a murtad. It can’t get any worse. Her husband is Zalmay Khalilzad, (http://zalmay.com/default.aspx ) the murtad, if he ever was a Muslim; who held some very high posts in the US administration. He was ambassador to the UN at one point, ambassador to Afghanistan, ambassador to Iraq. So, they are putting him in some pretty sensitive posts. So this Cheryl Bernard is his wife. She publishes her report for RAND titled Civil Democratic Islam. So from the title you can see what kind of Islam they want. What kind of Islam they want to force upon us. And by the way, they are willing to go to the extent of sending their armies to enforce on us the particular version of Islam that we’re supposed to follow. Ya’ni brother, Subhanallah, Muslims should stand up and unite again such arrogance. Some of her recommendation, she said that and she’s talking about this moderate Muslim, she said publish and distribute their works at subsidized cost.


p/s:.......after three weeks, I'm still so unmotivated to continue this transcript..sorry :)
This is as much as I can offer..Peace!!

The story of light might be story of old, what more could be unfold? Besides the two known characters of light, that it is still in momentum, unless block by an opaque object, it will collide and return, light is also an element that hold no age as it is not affected by time.

The energy of light origins of one source. It was born with a Bang! Then it spread accordingly throughout the universe. Along its journey it completed zillions of equation, by one of them was to create matters. It nurtured the birth of galaxies and stars. Passing and jumping keeps on transforming. Even some were caught in our own eyes.

Beautiful things are described in light. Beautiful souls are the bearers of light. Beautiful souls walks on water. Beautiful souls can control the nafs'; from eating too much food made of fire.

Light and fire are strong elements, it gives hope for the journey of mankind. A long journey with short provision.

It is a teaching to mankind to sleep in the night. Danger lurks in the darkest hour. What always peoples do in the dark of the night, are to leave the world by going to sleep. A man who sleeps does no need of fire. Instead, his soul was blown by the breeze of the night. To be cooled outside in the light of the stars.

How to sleep is an essential knowledge. Seldom were discussed; rare were the thoughts; about how mankind should face the dark universe.Why don't we look inside the hadeeths and also the Quran.
A collection of Hadeeths from Sahih Muslim about sleep and dream.
(in English & BM)
Hadeeths about
1. Before going to sleep
2. Dua’a and Supplication at Night
3. In-between Sleep
4. Arise from Sleep
5. Devils of the Night
6. Hadeeths about dream


While here is a verse from al-Quran al-Karim,
"And He it is Who makes the Night as a Robe for you, and Sleep as Repose, and makes the Day (as it were) a Resurrection."
- Al Furqaan 25:47, Al Quran al-Karim
"Dan Dialah Tuhan yang menjadikan malam untuk kamu sebagai pakaian dan menjadikan tidur untuk berhenti rehat, serta menjadikan siang untuk keluar mencari rezeki."

1. Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Do not leave the fire burning in your houses when you go to sleep.
Hadith number in Sahih Muslim: 3759

2. Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
A house was burnt down in Medina during the night over its inhabitants. When their matter was reported to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), he said: This fire is an enemy of yours. So when you go to sleep, extinguish it.
Hadith number in Sahih Muslim: 3760


3. Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Cover vessels, tie up water skins, close the doors and extinguish the lamps, for the Satan does not loosen the water skin, does not open the door and does not uncover the vessels. And if one among you fails to find (something) to cover it with, he should cover it by placing (a piece of) wood across it, reciting the name of Allah; for the mouse may set fire to the house over its residents.
Hadith number in Sahih Muslim: 3755

4. Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: When anyone of you goes to bed, he should take hold of the hem of his lower garment and then should clean (his bed) with the help of that and then should recite the name of Allah for he himself does not know what might be on his bed, and when he intends to lie on bed, he should lie on his right side and utter these words:

"Glorified be Allah, my Lord. It is with Your (grace) that I place my side (upon the bed) and it is with Your (help) I take it up (after sleep), and in case You withhold my being (cause me to die), then grant it pardon, and if You keep (this process of breathing on), then protect it with that with which You protect Your pious servants."
Hadith number in Sahih Muslim : 4889


5. Al-Bara' bin 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: When you go to bed, perform ablution as that you perform for the Prayer; then lie down on your right side and recite:

"O Allah, I turn my face towards You and entrust my affair to You. I retreat unto You for protection with hope in You and fear of You. There is no resort and no deliverer (from hardship) but You only. I affirm my faith in Your Book which You revealed and in Your Prophet whom You sent."

Make this as the last word of yours (when you go to sleep) and in case you die during that night, you would die upon Fitrah (upon Islam). And as I repeated these words in order to commit them to memory,

I said: "I affirm my faith in Your Messenger (Rasul) whom You sent." He said: Say: "I affirm my faith in the Prophet (Nabi) whom You sent."

He then said: May I direct you to something better than what you have asked for? When you go to your bed, you should recite

Takbir (Allah is Great) (Allah-u-Akbar) thirty-four times
and Tasbih (Subhan Allah) (Glorified be Allah) thirty-three times

Apabila Rasulullah s.a.w pulang, Saidatina Aisyah r.a terus menceritakan kepada baginda mengenai kedatangan Saidatina Fatimah r.a. Nabi s.a.w kemudiannya pergi menemui kami. Waktu itu kami sedang berada di tempat tidur, kami bangkit untuk menemui baginda lalu baginda bersabda: Tetaplah di tempat kamu.

Baginda seterusnya duduk di antara kami sehinggalah aku reda dari memarahinya kemudian baginda bersabda: Inginkah kamu aku ajarkan sesuatu yang lebih baik dari permintaan kamu? Apabila kamu berada di tempat tidur masing-masing,
kamu hendaklah membaca

takbir اللَّهُ اَكْبَر sebanyak tiga puluh empat kali,
tasbih سُبْحَانَ اللَّه sebanyak tiga puluh tiga kali dan,

1. Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, reported:

A person came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and said:

Allah 's Messenger, I saw while I was sleeping during the night (this vision) that there was a cloud from which butter and honey were trickling and I also saw people collecting them in the palms of their hands, some more, some less, and I also saw a rope extending from the sky to the earth and I saw you catching hold of it and rising up towards the heaven; then another man after you catching hold of it and rising up; then another man catching hold of it, and rising up then another man catching hold of it and rising up, then another man was catching hold of it, but it was broken then it was rejoined for him and he also climbed up.

Abu Bakr said:

Allah's Messenger, may my father be sacrificed for you, by Allah, allow me to interpret it.

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:

Well, give its interpretation. Thereupon

Abu Bakr said:

The cloud signifies the cloud of Islam and that what it trickles out of it in the form of butter and honey is the Holy Qur'an and its sweetness and softness and what the people get hold of it in their palms implies some people learning major portion of the Qur'an while others learning the small portion; and so far as the rope joining the sky with the earth is concerned, it is the Truth by which you stood (in the worldly life) and by which Allah would raise you (to Heaven). Then the man after you would take hold of it and he would also climb up. Then another man would take hold of it and climb up. Then another man would take hold of it and it would be broken; then it would be rejoined for him and he would climb up with it. Allah's Messenger, may my father be taken as a ransom for you, tell me whether I have interpreted it correctly or not.

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:

You have interpreted a part of it correctly and you have erred in interpreting a part of it.

Thereupon he said:

Allah's Messenger, by Allah, tell me that part where I have committed an error.

Thereupon he said: Do not take oath.
Hadith number in Sahih Muslim: 4214


2. Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:

Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:

I saw in sleep that I was about to migrate from Makkah to a land abounding in palm-trees and I guessed that it was Al-Yamamah or Hajar, but it was Al-Madinah Yathrib (the old name of Medina), and I saw in this dream that I was brandishing a sword and its blade got broken and this is what fell (in the form of misfortune to the believers on the Day of Uhud).

I brandished (the sword) for the second time and it became all right and this is what came to be true when Allah granted us victory and solidarity of the believers. And I saw therein cows also and Allah is the Doer of good. These meant the group from among the believers on the Day of Uhud and the goodness which Allah brought after that and the reward of attestation of his Truth which Allah brought to us after the Day of Badr.

Hadith number in Sahih Muslim: 4217


3. Abu Hurairah reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:

While I was sleeping I saw in my hands two gold bangles. This had a disturbing effect upon me and I was given a suggestion in the sleep that I should blow over them, so I blew over them and they were no more. And I interpreted these (two bangles) as the two great liars who would appear after me and the one among them was Al-'Ansi the inhabitant of San'a and the other one Musailimah the inhabitant of Al-Yamamah.

Hadis Abu Hurairah r.a:
Dari Nabi s.a.w. Baginda bersabda: Apabila Kiamat semakin dekat, mimpi seorang muslim hampir tidak dusta. Mimpi salah seorang di antara kamu yang paling dekat dengan kebenaran adalah mimpi orang yang paling jujur dalam berbicara. Mimpi seorang muslim adalah satu daripada empat puluh lima bahagian kenabian.

Mimpi itu sendiri terbahagi kepada tiga aspek iaitu: Mimpi baik, adalah khabar gembira yang datang dari Allah. Mimpi sedih, adalah mimpi yang datang dari syaitan. Kemudian mimpi yang datang dari bisikan diri sendiri, iaitu jika salah seorang di antara kamu bermimpi yang tidak menyenangkan, maka hendaklah beliau bangun dari tidur lalu mendirikan sembahyang dan dikehendaki jangan beliau ceritakan mimpi tersebut kepada manusia.

Baginda bersabda lagi: Aku sangat menyukai seutas tali dan tidak menyukai sebuah belenggu. Tali adalah lambang keteguhan dalam beragama. Akan tetapi aku tidak tahu apakah yang terakhir ini adalah termasuk Hadis atau sekadar ucapan Ibnu Sirin sahaja

3. Hadis Ibnu Abbas r.a katanya:
Pada suatu hari Musailamah Al-Kazzab datang ke Madinah pada zaman Nabi s.a.w dan berkata: Jika Muhammad menyerahkan urusan kepadaku sepeninggalannya, nescaya aku mahu mengikuti jejaknya. Lalu Musailamah kembali berkumpul dengan kaumnya. Kemudian Nabi s.a.w bersama dengan Thabit bin Qais bin Syammas berangkat menemui Musailamah. Ketika itu Nabi s.a.w membawa sepotong pelepah kurma.

Setelah Nabi s.a.w berada di hadapan Musailamah berserta teman-temannya, baginda bersabda: Sekalipun kamu meminta kepadaku sepotong kayu ini, tidak akan aku berikan kepadamu. Aku tidak akan menyerang kamu. Hal itu adalah urusan Allah terhadap dirimu. Jika kamu berpaling, nescaya Allah akan membinasakanmu. Sesungguhnya aku telah bermimpi tentang kamu dan ini adalah Thabit yang akan memberikan jawapannya kepada dirimu. Kemudian baginda beralih meninggalkan Musailamah.

Ibnu Abbas berkata: Aku bertanya berkenaan sabda Nabi s.a.w bahawa aku bermimpi tentang kamu. Kemudian dijawab oleh Abu Hurairah sesungguhnya Nabi s.a.w bersabda: Ketika aku sedang tidur, aku bermimpi melihat sepasang gelang emas berada di tanganku. Sepasang gelang tersebut sangat menarik perhatianku. Di dalam tidur itu, aku mendapat wahyu supaya meniup sepasang gelang tersebut. Setelah aku tiup ternyata sepasang gelang tersebut terang. Maka aku tafsirkan mimpi itu bahawa akan muncul dua pembohong sepeninggalku. Salah seorang darinya ialah Al-Ansi dari daerah Sanaa (Yaman) kemudian yang keduanya ialah Musailamah dari daerah Yamamah

The legacy of Bush Administration will surely goes on no matter who will take the next presidential seat. That's mean a flow of continuity on "war on terror" propaganda and the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan will not end soon. The butterfly effect of this continuous tides of war surely affect the price of everything in between oil and food. My conclusion is based upon observation of incidents around the world and lastly come to Barak Obama's latest speech, whom we here shall never support even with our weakest heart. This man is just a piece of pawn that will be change into a queen in the "world domination order" play board. But let us not be submissive to the mounting pressure on our beloved Islam, for they will always put us to accept moderate thinking, freedom of speech, gender equality and human rights for they have hidden agenda to alter the religion, yes, I repeat again, they wish to change Islam itself. Funds had long been spend in hundreds of millions to advance this psychological warfare to change not the people, but the religion itself.

We need to have stronghold of Iman to counter waves upon waves of attacks since we had lost our last Caliph after the World War 1. Let us pray in unison for Allah to guide us, all Muslims in the world, to the victory of here and the hereafter.
