In the wee hours of a Thursday, i struggled with much difficulties to get my eyes open because there's LIVE TELECAST of Liverpool against Chelsea for the UEFA Champions League title. 2.35 hours. the previous night, i set 3 alarm clocks. in the end, i failed to hear a single one of them till about 3am, i received a call from Linus informing me of the match. after he hung up, i sat up, walked around in my bedroom, moved my limbs so that i could enjoy the game. but strangely, after every movement, i'm back on my bed.
watched for about 35minutes of play, this time the performance was slightly better than the rest of the games they played (i think la). anyway, you can read the full report here. i might not do a good job. so you guys just self service la hor. no goals were scored in the first half. PHeeww... i struggled again, to keep awake. then after, the match has started. again, i was struggling to keep my eyes open. when time was up, it was a goalless match. Thank God. but i had a problem. the match ended at 4.35hours. and i need to wake up at abt 5.35 am. omgosh! hack it i thought. go to bed la. haha. true enough i opened up my eyes at abt 6.15am. Late! Late! Late! sharks! ! ! I should have not slept and go for a breakfast with Linus before we head for work. but greediness to sleep distorted my much-awaited macdonalds' breakfast.
i began to fell sleepy during the middle part of the noon. lucky for the journey, i tried to recover some rest on the bus because i need to. my die-hard habit. and because Thursdays are tasfir lessons for me, i need rest in order to be attentive. so we learn in class about the meanings and interpretations of the Holy Book. and the teacher would quote examples of how we can inculcate God's simple teachings into our daily lives. the dosage that the ustaz gave is always the right amount to 'bring you back to the shore', to make you realise the many things you have done, could have been done better etc. and it would be open to discussions the real life examples we will quote to get a better understanding in improving the situations we are in.
Ustaz quoted this particular chapter titled: LIGHT 24:12~17
" when you heard it, why did the faithful, men and women, not think well of their own people,and say:'this is an evident falsehood'? Why did they not produce four witnesses? If they could not produce any witnesses, then they were surely lying in the sight of God.
But for God's grace and mercy towards you in this life and in the life to come, you would have been sternly punished for what you did. You carried with your tongues and uttered with your mouths what you did not know. you may have thought it a trifle, but in the sight of God it was a grave offence.
When you heard it, why did you not say: 'it is not right for us to speak of this.God forbid! this is a monstrous slander?' God bids you never to repeat the like, if you are true believers. God makes plain to you His revelations. God is all-knowing and wise."
Basically, it is to tell us to guard our hearts, minds, tongues and mouth. to be wary of backbiting,slandering,or gossiping about other's shortcomings. we should reflect upon ourselves to not distort or even spread bad words if unless proven otherwise that we have brought forth the truth about other people.
perhaps, everyone would have their personal view about this. feel free to comment if necc. i hope through little excerpts i quoted from the Book, you would be able to comprehend and not misinterpret islam as something very bad...
