Open House Eidul Fitri 2007

"Di Situ Bumi Di Pijak Di Situlah Langit di Junjung" itulah ungkapan yang kami sentiasa pegang dimana kami berada. Eidul Fitri 2007, alhamdullillah, kami sekeluarga sempat membuat 'rumah terbuka' untuk pelajar-pelajar Malaysia yang belajar dalam jurusan kedoktoran di Universiti Perubatan Iskandariah atau "Alexandria Medical University". Aton, Zainal, Ifa, Zul, Zana, Muaz, Din, Amirah, Saadah, Pie menjadi tetamu istimewa kami. Kehadiran mereka pastinya menjadi penghibur, mengubat rindu kami pada keluarga yang jauh dimata, tapi dekat di hati. Inilah dikatakan pengorbanan! Pengorbanan dari segi saikologi apabila tidak dapat bersama saudara-mara, rakan taulan dan keluarga tercinta. Hakikatnya, kita tidak akan mampu atau memiliki segala-galanya. Allah swt hanya menyediakan 1% nikmat untuk kita menjalankan kehidupan kita yang fana ini. 99% lagi akan kita nikmati di akhirat yang kekal abadi. Atas maksud itulah, kita perlu membuat persediaan yang rapi dengan bekerja keras melaksanakan tanggungjawab kita sebagai umat Nabi Muhammad saw dan hamba kepada Allah Azza Wa Jala. Samada kita bergelar pelajar, tukang masak, pegawai, jurutera, akauntan, pilot, doktor, penyapu sampah, pegawai kerajaan dan sebagainya, kita wajib menjalankan tugasan kita dengan sebaik yang mungkin dengan jujur dan amanah. Ini juga merupakan ibadah selain daripada melaksanakan ibadah-ibadah khusus seperti solat, puasa dan lain-lain kerana Allah swt.

Selain daripada dia orang, ada beberapa pelajar Malaysia yang belajar di universiti Islam yang tertua di dunia, Universiti Al Azhar, Mesir, kami jemput untuk menyerikan suasana Eid 2007. Merekalah adik, merekalah saudara, merekalah kawan, merekalah keluarga di bumi para anbiya' ini.

VVIP Visit to Building 46 Kafr Abdou

We were very grateful and touched by the VVIP visit – YB Dato’ Wan Abdul Wahab B Wan Sanusi, state assemblymen of Sadong Jaya, Samarahan , Sarawak and his entourage from the State Government of Sarawak to our humble apartment at Kafr Abdou. They were escorted by the Senior Sarawakian El-Azhar students Aminuddin; Adi and Idris. We shared some concerns and opinions about the Muslim community in Sarawak and their subscription to the Islamic principles and practices. Concerted efforts need to be exerted to enhance and promote the Islamic principles to the community.
Islam came to Sarawak in the late 50s’, however, the real sense of the understanding and better subscription of the true religion was only observed in the late 80s’. There were few Sheikh or religious teacher tried to spread the Islamic knowledge to the Muslims which was about 20% of the whole 1 million Sarawak populations in the early 70s’. But, the activity was confined to certain cluster due to skepticism; custom and communication. It was later in the late 70s’ where the Chief Minister then, Tun Abdul Rahman formed the first religious association named Angkatan Nahdatul Islam Bersatu abbreviated as BINA. The main objective was to promote the Islamic values to Muslim teenagers through various programs like martial art, visits, etc. Later, other Islamic association like ABIM came to Sarawak with the same intent.The entourage spent about 4 hours with us coincidently during the month of Ramadhan. Thank you Dato's.
