Terra Australis



The place. My source of peace & happiness. The place that can make me not being needy of any other things anymore in life. Not even love. Because 'Love',  is already the religion in me.

Just to be there is enough.

I need multiculturalism. Not ethnocentrism. So that my brain, spirit & heart, can function beautifully.

I need those daily dosage of genuine smiles & honesty. Not a play from actors & status seekers.

I need to see old couples walking hand in hand, sitting at the park bench feeding the birds. Not young couples showing off on instagrams.

I need stamina, flat-toned abs. Competetive weekends of football or morning golf in it's cooling breeze. Not this stubborn belly full of nasik lemak fats.

I need to see bunch of kids playing outdoors, coaching them kicking the ball, or building castles in the sand. Outsmarting smartphones.

I need to see strangers, who respect each other. Whenever, wherever. Not related blood brothers, buddies, & lovers, who fake each other.

Till we meet again.

Happy Australia Day!

Apa itu Agama?



Gua selalu tanya, 'Apa itu Agama?'.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Once, a man came to Muhammad and said: O messenger of Allah, what is religion?

Muhammad replied: Akhlaq.

Then he came to his front and asked: O Messenger of Allah, what is religion?

Again, Muhammad replied: Akhlaq.

Then he came to his left side and asked: What is religion?

Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) replied: Akhlaq.

Then he came to his back side and asked the same question: What is religion?

Muhammad then replied: Akhlaq.

Then Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) said looking at him: Not to be angry, is Akhlaq.

He was then asked: What is misfortune?

The Prophet (pbuh) replied: Bad Conduct.

Hence, religion Islam according to our Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) is nothing but Akhlaq (Good Manners). And Akhlaq  is based on the cleanliness of both our inner self (Soul) and our outer self (Physical, Body).

I got my answer.

And now, I also know how to differentiate samada org itu beragama atau tidak.

His/her manners. Basic.
