lately inbox saya dipenuhi dgn email 15 Ramadhan tahun 2012, a prophecy of armageddon. nauzubillah. saya mohon perlindungan dari Yang Maha Berkuasa dari segala bentuk bencana, dan saya betul2 butuh perlindunganNya dari segala fitnah akhir zaman. saya x tahu apa motif si pencipta email. bukankah lebih baik share peringatan seperti "bekerjalah ibarat kamu akan hidup 1000 tahun lagi dan beribadatlah ibarat esok adalah penghabisan bagi kamu", instead of main teka2 the exact date of "Day of Judgment". Astaghfirullah. i dont get it why are there people especially muslims who are inclined to keep forwarding such email without even the capacity to question. be careful of what u r wishing for, lest it comes true. nauzubillah.
i ask 1 of the 'sender' of the email, how true is that prophecy. she replied, 'ala, saje je suka2 forward'. apakah suka2? tiba2 teringat kata2 keramat baba kalau saya kadang2 terkeluar dari landasan "jadi orang jgn makin pandai, semakin bodoh"... ha3, lu pikir la sendiri!
speaking of jgn jadi bodoh ni, br teringat saya nak share pengalaman bertemu prof umar vadillo di rumah Ming (pixies di blog
baba), moga2 kita sama2 dpt manfaat dr apa yg saya nk tulis, insyaAllah. google his name and you'll find thousands of search results, most of which are very inspiring while some refute his arguments/way of thinking.
1 perkara penting yg saya rasa sgt menarik ialah isu islamisation atau meng'islam'kan islam. kita hari ini sgt terkebelakang esp dlm aspect economy ialah kerana terlalu sibuk hendak meng'islam'kan islam. subhanallah, knp saya x pernah terfikir semua ini? (betullah baba, seronoknya majlis ilmu, Allah Maha Kaya, thank you Allah kerana meng'kaya'kan saya dgn family and friends who share their thoughts/knowledge whole-heartedly, alhamdulillah)
prof umar speaks extensively on the implications of fiat money and the fight to call for the return of dinar and dirham. he keeps pointing out that our business is not to reform islam (islamisation), to adapt capitalism by absurd islamisation i.e islamic banking, islamic insurance, islamic Nasdaq, islamic credit cards etc. it is now the time for us to focus on establishing our own model with dinar, dirham, suqs, kafilahs, asnaf, shirkat, qirad etc**
lately mmg kalau borak2 susah nk escape dr topik gold dinar ni. kwn2, jgn boring dgn saya ok. ada kwn2 yg tanya, 'how far could you go...', 'how many years would this take...', 'how strong you are to keep fighting this...'. i would smile and say 'i dont have the answer to those questions. but i believe in Allah, His Zat and His Deen'. and some other asked me 'hikmah, why the sudden turn to gold dinar? why should you be bothered with capitalism and riba?'... i asked them in return, 'how could you not?'. capitalism has become the religion of so many countries. i couldnt bear it if someday we succumb to this notion as well. the use of gold dinar is sunnah and it is the only way we could get rid of capitalism and riba.
again, if u ask me, can it be done? my friends, the challenge is in ourselves. embrace.
remember, paper (paper money/fiat money) is never a commodity, interest is only a fiction!
