Hari ini hari terakhir di Pondok Pasir Tumboh. Keberatan rasanya mahu meninggalkan daerah Pasir Tumboh yang aman ini. Ibadat belum puas. Zikir belum berbekas. Hati masih lagi buas. Oleh kerana nafsu yang masih belum tumpas. Insha Allah, sedikit bekalan yang Allah izinkan aku bawa pergi bersama akan cuba dilazimkan. Ada perancangan untuk ke sana lagi, menuntut ilmu Allah dan hikmah yang tersangat luas. Semoga dapat lagi berdamping dengan orang-orang soleh. Kembara ke Pondok Pasir Tumboh kali kedua akan bersama adinda Afiq Naqiuddin. Kalau masih ada umur, hujung tahun berangkatlah kami.
Untuk perkongsian kali ini, aku ingin namakannya sebagai "Bersolat seperti Seorang Tua". Penghuni dan pelajar Pondok Pasir Tumboh meliputi segenap lapisan umur. Dari semuda 13 tahun hingga kepada yang sudah bongkok tiga. Yang menarik perhatian aku ialah penghuni-penghuni yang sudah mencecah usia emas. Ada seorang pakcik tua, rambut putih semuanya, sudah bongkok tiga, tubuh juga sudah mengecut, tinggal selang satu pondok di belakang pondok yang kutumpang. Sempat aku bertegur sapa dengannya sebelum aku meninggalkan pondok petang tadi, ketika dia sedang bersusah payah ingin mengeluarkan basikalnya dari bawah pondok.
Mari kita tumpukan perhatian kepada cerita bagaimana aku belajar satu jalan untuk mengenali Tuhan daripada solat si pakcik tua ini. Si pakcik tua ini seingat dalam pemerhatian aku, tidak pernah ketinggalan akan solat jemaah di masjid. Termasuk subuh wahai pembaca-pembaca. Si pakcik tua ini kalau dikira dari segi syariat, sudah boleh dikatakan uzur untuk ke masjid. Dia mungkin mengambil 2 kali masa untuk orang muda belia ke sesuatu tempat. Bahkan, mungkin lebih lagi. Tapi hatinya masih gagah mencari Tuhan yang Maha Pencipta.
Si pakcik tua apabila melakukan solat, teramatlah lama. Orang tua, sendi-sendinya sudah berkarat. Untuk melengkungkan sendi-sendi, menjatuh dan membangkitkan tubuh sudah tersangat payah. Tetapi, di sebalik kepayahan si pakcik tua untuk rukuk dan sujud, berpindah daripada satu rukun solat kepada yang lain, aku lihat kesempurnaan dan ketenangan dalam solatnya. Thama'ninah terjaga, pasti. Bersolat tanpa gundah gelisah. Rukun berpindah tanpa huru-hara. Setiap pergerakan dilakukan dalam keadaan berhati-hati. Setiap huruf dalam bacaan-bacaan solat terpelihara hak-haknya. Moga-moga Tuhan menerima solat si pakcik tua.
Berlawanan dengan solat si muda yang hidupnya rancak. Lebih-lebih lagi pemuda kota. Mengejar masa ketika solat. Mereka ini berkira-kira tentang masa dengan Tuhan yang Menjadikan dirinya yang kerdil. Layakkah dia untuk berbuat begitu? Layakkah kita? Tiada ketenangan, tiada penghayatan. Khusyu' pasti jauh sekali. Ambillah pengajaran daripada solat si pakcik tua. Murahkanlah hati terhadap masa untuk Pencipta kita. Pencipta aku dan engkau, dalam segala yang baharu--yang bermula dengan tiada. Semoga di hari pengadilan nanti, Tuhan Pemilik Arasy mahu-mahu melihat wajah kita yang hina dina.
wAllahu 'alam

Kembara ke Kelantan
I arrived at Kota Bharu at 8.00 am. I am exhausted now out of a 12-hour journey from Johor Bahru. I straight went to a budget hotel in the middle of the city where I wait for Juwaidi. He arrived here a couple hours earlier and all hotels were fully booked. He then waited for me at a mosque. We're gonna take a shower and buy some stuff before heading to Pondok Pasir Tumbuh in the afternoon. One interesting thing: Juwaidi's got a new haircut. He now looks a bit rougher. Grrghh =P
Well, I will probably not write for a while. But insha Allah, more adventures are waiting ahead and I will share them here as soon as I get back home. I pray that Allah gives us the strength to learn more about HIM in our kembara. See you guys. Wassalam.

Motorsikal & Kereta
Baru sudah mencuci motorsikalku. Kuasa 115cc. Bermastautin di Cyberjaya, aku sering kali bertembung atau berselisih dengan kereta-kereta mewah. Saban hari melihat bermacam-macam kereta mewah menimbulkan rasa tidak cukup dengan nikmat yang sedia ada. Mahukan kereta, belum berkemampuan. Jadi, aku memikirkan untuk membeli motorsikal yang berkuasa lebih besar.
Untuk menjawab persoalan itu, mungkin aku perlukan satu persoalan baru. Persoalan yang lebih tepat. Mungkin aku perlu bertanya adakah Tuhan yang Maha Kaya menjadikan nafsu dalam diri manusia untuk mereka puasi? Atau sekadar untuk dipenuhi dengan panduan wahyu dari yang menjadikan nafsu itu?

Kalau Mampu Penuhi, Baru Boleh Buat Maksiat
Ibrahim ibn Adham, seorang tabi'in, apabila didatangi oleh seorang yang acap melakukan maksiat kepada Tuhan dan lantas si pemuda meminta nasihat daripada Ibrahim ibn Adham, seorang soleh.
Ibrahim ibn Adham dalam nasihatnya telah menyatakan: "Andai kau mampu penuhi lima syarat yang akan aku kemukakan, kamu layak bermaksiat sepuas hatimu." Lima perkara itu adalah:
1) Jangan makan dari rezeki Allah S.W.T.
2) Jangan tinggal di bumi Allah S.W.T.
3) Cari tempat sembunyi yang Allah S.W.T. tidak mampu temukan.
4) Jika malaikat Maut datang ingin mengambil nyawa kau, katakan ini kepadanya: "Tangguhkan dulu kematianku."
5) Pada masa malaikat Zabaniyah ingin membawamu ke neraka, katakan ini kepadanya: "Aku tidak mahu ikut kamu."
Andai terkudrat olehmu untuk melangsaikan salah satu daripada syarat yang di atas, maka kamu seorang yang layak untuk berbuat maksiat.
wAllahu 'alam

DSAI Leaves Turkey Embassy
DSAI, on his own accord, has left the embassy this evening after the meeting between Rais Yatim and Turkey Ambassador. He decided to leave after the government has agreed to make "all the undertakings to assure his personal safety." He spent a day at the Turkish Embassy.
Upon leaving the embassy, DSAI has said that he will soon announce the defection of four ruling party lawmakers to his alliance this week with which he will contest in a by-election for a seat in the parliament. He was banned from holding any political position in the country until this year April . However, his political comeback will be much more complicated having this case on against him. He will surely need to attend court hearing, another political ban may come out, and etc.. "They will keep me very busy in the next days on this case," he said outside the embassy this evening.
Check this out.

Dia Tuduh DSAI Liwat Lagi!
Another sodomy allegation on DSAI. Unbelievable. The latest news is the release of a photo of the accuser, Saiful Bukhari Azlan, with one of Najib's Senior Officers, Khairil Anas Yusof, by Datin Seri Dr. Wan Azizah Wan Ismail. DSAI will probably have to be taken under police custody for investigation. I just pray for strength for DSAI to survive our police "investigation procedure" this time around, if detained. This detention could mean a life threat for DSAI.
DSAI said in his media statement: "The report has been organized by interested parties to attack me in retaliation for evidence I have recently obtained implicating IGP Musa Hassan and the AG Gani Patail in misconduct including fabrication of evidence in the cases launched against me in 1998-1999. This vile attack will not prevent me from releasing this dossier to the public."
He also said that he has, since this year General Election, received "numerous credible sources from within the government and military intelligence" which have indicated that "certain agents from within Barisan Nasional leadership have initiated plots to cause harm to me or my family or my supporters." Fearing of his safety, PKR decided to seek refuge from several embassies, and Turkey Embassy was the first to accept DSAI under their protection. DSAI has been with them since 6.00 am this morning.
Hishamuddin Hussein in response to the above statement claimed that DSAI seeking refuge from outsiders is an attempt to divert people's attention from his "liwat" case. He further said: "Anwar (pada masa itu) pernah membuat dakwaan kononnya beliau cuba dibunuh dengan racun arsenik, memerlukan pembedahan tulang belakang dan menghadapi masalah tengkuk."
Khairy Jamaluddin when asked for comments on this latest news hit said: "Anwar is a highly creative politician in acquiring people's sympathy." He further suggests that: "‘‘Saya sendiri tidak menolak kemungkinan Anwar sendiri yang menyuruh pembantunya itu membuat laporan polis dan ini adalah satu taktik konspirasi beliau untuk meraih simpati orang ramai."
What do you reckon from the comments of these two young politicians of our country? Do you guys really think that DSAI needs to plot this whole setup to acquire our support? The whole world have seen how greatly people endorse him as a leader for Malaysia. UMNO and BN are in the most shacking state in their history and we would only need to sit by and watch the downfall of the party. The recent allegation by Raja Petra Kamaruddin on Najib's wife being involved in Altantuya's murder case is sufficient enough to turn the whole nation towards Pakatan Rakyat. Come on la Mr. Hisham and Mr. KJ. Please come up with something brilliant.
Rais Yatim just had an official meeting with Turkey ambassador, Barlaz Ozener, this evening at Wisma Putra. And we will expect a media statement from Rais Yatim tonight in the news regarding Turkey's involvement in this matter.
