menulis satu wadah.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

Sudah lama tak menulis, sibuk? Tak. Kering idea? Mungkin. Malas? Agaknya. Tak tahu nak mula. Yup, that’s why. I don’t know whether to write in Malay or English.

My English is not any good, but I love using it. (hei hei practices make perfect right?) Malay language is my daily language, yet I feel awkward when using it for writing. So… I decided to use Arabic Language……….. joking! Okay, not funnyyy. =_=’’

I’ll just use bahasa rojak, can I?

I’ve deleted all of my posts from the past. Ok, lets start all over again now. =)

Well as the title read above, “writing as a medium”.

Medium untuk apa kah? The focus of my post today will be about the importance of writing in spreading… words.

It can be good things or the other way around.

Writing is like money. Some people know how to use it wisely. They pay their zakat, they do sadaqah and use it to buy their needs in daily lives. Some are great enough and they spend it in the path of Allah.

They even work hard to gain it.

The same goes to writing. To be able to write well, we’ll need a lot of practices. Do you recognize JK Rowling? She started to write when she was 5 years old and now look where she’s standing right now. Who else? Hilal Asyraf! I am an avid reader of his blog. His writing was not that good in the beginning (what I mean is, now his writing is better) but he’s blooming so well now. See?

Hard work will pay off.

Er rasa macam lari topik je. Ok , masuk trek balik jom.

As I mention above, some people use their money for goods and some er unfortunately just wasted their money for wrongful things (drugs, cigarettes, lottery, just to name a few).

This thing applies to writing as well. In this globalized world (ayat karangan : Dewasa kini), many people seem not to appreciate their ability in writing. They spread lies, badmouth others and blabber nonsense things through their writing. (er I’m blabbering too….) Which is not good because in the end, all of our doings will go into our ‘account of deeds’ in the hereafter.

So, it’s actually as simple as this,

Beneficial writing = duit masuk dalam akaun pahala, yay!

Lies, fitnah, etc = duit dalam akaun dosa bertambah2… alaa….

Jadi… kawan2, jom jadikan penulisan sebagai alat kita untuk menambah saham dekat ‘sana’ . Kalau tak banyak, sikit pon jadi lah. Jangan pulak kita biarkan penulisan kita yang menghalang kita untuk masuk syurga nanti.

Setiap amalan akan ditanya kan?

“Maka barang siapa mengerjakan kebaikan seberat zarrah, nescaya dia akan melihat (balasan)nya. Dan barang siapa mengerjakan kejahatan seberat zarrah, niscaya dia akan melihat (balasan)nya.”

(Al-zalzalah 99:7-8)

Pesanan terakhir dari budak yang keliru dengan bahasa apa yang patut digunakan...

“ Maka Dia mengilhamkan kepadanya (jalan) kejahatan dan ketakwaan. Sungguh beruntung orang yang menyucikannya (jiwa itu). Dan sungguh rugi orang yang mengotorinya.”

(As-syams 91:8-10)

The choice is in our hand.

What type of clothes that we want to wear? Menutup atau membuka.

What type of entertainment that we want to enjoy? Melalaikan atau mengingatkan.

What type of food that we want to have? Halal atau haram.

What type of feeling that we want to have inside? =) atau =(

Anddd what kind of words that we want to spread? Kata-kata yang membawa manusia ke jalan haq atau kebatilan?

Choose wisely yeah. =)) Assalamualaikum.

Footnote : The idea of writing this comes from the newspapers (or news on TV) that seem to lose their function more and more nowadays. Hello, bukankah surat khabar berfungsi untuk mengkhabarkan kejadian-kejadian yang berlaku di sekitar rakyat dengan telus, jujur, amanah, tanpa penipuan dan tanpa menambah plot, karakter atau pengajaran2 yang bertujuan memanipulasi . Bukan juga tempat untuk merekrut penulis2 cereka, fiksyen atau lagenda untuk dibaca kanak-kanak bawah umur. (nah terkeluar ayat karangan ). Lastly, be fair. Be just. Don’t lie. We’re not stupid.
