Islam Arts Music http://durra.blogdrive.com/archive/31.html Thu, 31 Mar 2005 09:32:06 GMT Have you ever thought about the fact that you did not exist before you were conceived and then born into the world and that you have come into existence from mere nothingness? Have you ever thought about how the flowers you see in your living room everyday come out of pitch black, muddy soil with fragrant smells and are as colorful as they are? Have you ever thought about how mosquitoes, which irritatingly fly around you, move their wings so fast that we are unable to see them? Have you ever thought about how the peels of fruits such as bananas,...

Sekadar satu ulangan di sini, pengarang Arab terkenal, Dr. Syauqi Dhaif misalnya dalam bukunya Fi al Naqdi al Adabi menjelaskan bahawa sastera Islam itu berlandaskan kepada kebenaran, keindahan, kebaikan dan kemuliaan. Sementara Profesor Taha Hussein dalam bukunya Min Tarikh al Adab menyatakan bahawa sastera Islam itu berlandaskan kepada kebenaran dan tidak pula bercanggah dengan hukum Tuhan....

Satu persiapan khusus berupa pelan tindakan harus digerakkan untuk memenangi kombat ini. Karya sastera Islam pernah berperanan sebagai anak panah dan sebagai mata pedang yang tajam maka hari ini ia harus dikembalikan semula sebagai satu peluru berpandu, satu bom atom, satu senjata nuklear yang dapat meledakkan musuh. Hakikat ini telah ditunjukkan dalam sejarah menerusi syair-syair Hassan bin Thabit. Malah karya...

Suatu hari, tanggal 5 Ogos 2004, sewaktu saya masih menuntut di semester akhir pengajian saya..entah mengapa saya tiba-tiba teringat akan Kuliyah Tafsir anjuran Quranic Youth Club IIUM, yang lazim diadakan pada waktu petang jam 5:15, cuma bezanya harinya telah bertukar dari rabu ke khamis..kesibukan seawal bermula semester dengan bebanan assignment menyebabkan saya hampir-hampir melupakan kuliyah tersebut yang jarang-jarang sekali saya ketinggalan untuk menghadirinya..Sebetulnya saya cuma ada 15 minit sebelum kuliyah bermula kerana baru saja...

My dear sisters, please don't hurt and offend each other. Don't be rude to each other. This kind of attitude that has been going on is enough to "chase" away new Muslimah. I have been a Muslim for 2 1/2 years and don't have any friends. Al- hamdulilah, the beginning of this Ramadan was a BIG blessing to me. I am a convert of 2...

These are the glamours of the life of this world. The hereafter is best in ALLAH's sight. Should I tell you about something which is better than these things? For those who believe and do right, there will be for them gardens of paradise, beneath which rivers will flow. I give you the good news of being there. ALLAH has made a trade with the believers that in return for their wealth and their own selves, He will give them a home in His paradise, gardens of...

A: When talking about God, Muslims automatically think of Allah (swt). Allah, in arabic language, is "The God". He is the Almighty, the One Creator who created the universe, mankind and all other forms of life. Q: Is it true that Adam was the first messenger of God (swt)? A: Yes, Adam had the responsibility to convey God's message and laws to his descendants. From the beginning, Adam's message to the first generation of mankind was...

Sampai bawa sekotak kertas tisu sebagai persediaan awal apabila ada yang tersingkir. Nak menangislah. Tapi tengok anak-anak Palestin dibedil oleh Israel dia orang takmenangis pula. Hairan sungguh". Durra memetik kata-kata Siti Jarum menerusi kolum Cubit Manja bersama Siti Jarum yang dipaparkan Mingguan Malaysia, edisi Ahad,18 Julai 2004.

Why a Jew can grow his beard in order to practice his faith But when Muslim does the same, he is an extremist and terrorist! Why a nun can be covered from head to toe in order to devote herself to God But when Muslimah does the same she oppressed When a western women stays at home to look after her house and kids she is respected because of sacrificing herself and doing good for the household? But when a Muslim woman does so by her will, they say, "she needs to be liberated"! Any girl can go to university wearing what she wills and... (more) http://durra.blogdrive.com/comments?id=12
