Ad Deen

I've been studying human embrology for quite some times now and it's pretty hard.
Makes me think of Allah greatness.
The complexity of it all.
No computer or human invention can rival that of the creation of human.

I mean can a human thinks of making so many cells, grouped into tissue and then organ and then system.
And then, having all the system working so that they complement each other.

How thing as small as sperm and ovum fuse together and voila, me!
voila, you!
Have you ever look back at yourself, what you was?
what you could have been?
a puddle of semen, a remnants of uterus in the form of menstrual blood.
So low.

And this Encik Moore is the author of the book that we at LFHK use to study embryology. Let us see what he found.

He created you (all) from a single person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. Holy Qur'an (39:6)

Referring to above verse in the Quran, Dr. Moore says: "This verse from the Koran states that God makes you in the wombs of your mothers in stages, one after another, within three veils of darkness." Then he explains his amazement: "The realization that the embryo develops in stages in the uterus was not discussed or illustrated until the 15th century A.D.

"The staging of human embryos was not proposed until the 1940's, and the stages used nowadays were not adopted worldwide until a few years ago."

It is reasonable to interpret the three veils of darkness mentioned in the Koran as:

* the mother's abdominal wall;
* the wall of the uterus; and
* the amniochorionic membrane composed of the fused amnion and chorion.

These three anatomical layers protect the embryo from external injury."

Encik Moore, clearly, even he didn't mean it, followed the very first surah that was sent down to Muhammad PBUH. Iqra'(al-alaq)
Yes,
Proclaim! In the name of your Lord, who created;

2 Created man, out of a clot of congealed blood:

3 Proclaim! And your Lord is most bountiful,

4 He who taught you to write,

5 Taught man that which he knew not.

6 No, but man transgresses all bounds,

7 In that he looks upon himself as self-sufficient.

8 Truly, to your Lord is the return.

9 Do you see one who forbids

10 A votary when he prays?

11 Do you see if he is guided?

12 Or enjoins righteousness?

13 Do you see if he denies and turns away?

14 Knows he not that Allah sees?

15 Let him beware! If he desist not, we will drag him by the forelock,

16 A lying, sinful forelock!

17 Then, let him call to his council:

18 We will call on the angels of punishment!

19 No, heed him not, but bow down in adoration, and bring yourself closer!


And to add the greatness of Allah creation, the uterus wall,
(yes, the uterus or womb, the place where you and me had the chance to reside for a brief of time)
is architecturally designed so that it can provide shelter to the foetus that will be in there.

And how there are gap between contractions during parturition (labour).
Do you know why?
Giving birth is like walking on thin ice.
And demand a great giga deal of energy.
Thus the gap is for the mother to scrape her energy and give a very good push.
So that you, and me and others may have the chance to feel what it is like to be on the earth.
Yeah, we don't do anything but depending on our mother to push us out.
We breath, thanks to our mothers' determination
And you can tell now why I feel like my chest is bursting, my sight blurred and I feel like vanishing when I have done something that hurt my mom.

See, how neat and complicated is Allah's plan?

Hradec Kralove Mosque


We are going to build a mosque here.
Insya Allah.
I think it would be suitable place to open up businesses apart from a place for prayer and meeting poeple.
It would be a suitable place to get halal meat and chicken.
Why?
Because us Muslim is obligated to eat halal meat.
And I see many people prefer halal meat and chicken.

Second, many people have come to me and tell me that they like the scarves.
So, we can sell scarves and it'll be convenient for mualaf sisters.
I believe in the future, Islamic fashion will be a long lasting trend.

But in order to get there, we need to put in effort.
And donate.
Remember when Abu Bakar donate all his possesion and when Rasulallah PBUH asked Abu Bakar
"What do u leave for your family?"
He said, " Allah and His messenger"

It is impossible for us to be like Abu Bakar, but we can follow suit don't we?
Imagine, this is our chance to make good deeds.
Donate for our masjid for our benefit and the people around us benefit.
Wherever you are, in the tropical island enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze, in Europe cafe sipping coffee or in Africa on a safari trip, you are welcome to donate.
You don't always get chances like this.
For some, it comes only once an when u don't grab it, when it goes, it'll never come back.
Work as if you have 1000 years more to live and do good deeds and ibadah as if you are going to die tomorrow.

Random Thought

Ok, I was washing the dishes when this thought suddenly kicked in.
I never think of all random thought, I'm thinking about helping my mum and dad.
U know, doing stuff like helping in the kitchen, doing the laundry or run an errand at the nearest shop.
I totally miss those chances.
Random isn't it.
I bet nobody would miss such a thing.


But I'm missing it right now.
I'm even thinking of doing all the house chores this summer.
I want to do the dishes, then sweeping and mopping, doing the laundry, tidying my brothers bed and ironing all our clothes.
Yeah, me myself think that I've lost my marbles.

Looking back, I was never happy when my mom or dad asked my favor to run something for them.
I maked faces and refused.
A complete disgrace I was.
I'm ashamed of my former self.
Choosing to continue watching those craps on TV rather than helping out my folks.
U see, doing the cleaning every single day was not my thing
As long as it appears satisfying to me, why bother mopping every day?
Just a waste of my adipose reservoir (*nod*-I used to practise that thinking)
Lebih kurang mcm prinsip ahli dorm ms upper form
'makanan, selagi tak berkulat selagi tu boleh makan.ayaq, selagi tak berkeladak, selagi tu boleh minum'
(ada kaitan ka?)
I know that's gross.
I nearly faint everytime I recall this memory.
LOL


And now, I'm glad to swap those moments with any of my free time.
In my condition, I feel that I can't do much for my folks.
Studying set aside.
All the responsibility that should be mine is passed on to my brother.
I envy him. *green*
As I see it, doing things for your parents is a very precious opportunity.
I can sense the joy in helping them
The smile across their face
The small but meaningful contribution a child can offer to the parents
The strong invisible bond that emit intense love and appreciation.
The beauty of it all
Favours...

So, people, if your parents ask for your help, don't hesitate.
Just go and be a good son/daughter with big heart.
Even if they don't ask for any, just offer your hand would you?
You never know, maybe tomorrow or maybe soon enough you'll be in the same boat as me.
Since you have this opportunity, go grab it.
Moreover, u don't lose anything don't you.

Mak, abah, pray that I pass this first year so that I can go home and serve the house.
hihihi.
Owh, I seriously miss helping out my parents
*silent tears*
*blowing nose*

Hari Anatomy Sedunia


Every Monday, as early as 8 am, we get to meet Mr and Mrs Cadaver.
And dissect them.
What a brilliant way to start the week!
*dgn nada sarkastik*
Our date always last about 2 hours.
Yesterday, our date is as exciting as our first date.
Not like the boring dates in between where we just get to help Mr Cadaver to shed his 2 inch thick fat.
Today, to make sure about Mr Cadaver's heart, wheter it's ours or others, wheter it's cruel or not, we open his chest!
Seeing Dr Kurst cut open the thorax quite easily with the special equipment, I have a feeling to have the same equipment to cut my chicken (tgn i nasib x tbelah 2 ja lg asyik potong ayam2 frozen 2 okeh)
But seeing the result of it-ugly ridged ribcage and its remnants-shut off my idea

So, we help Mr Cadaver to shed another fat at his heart.
And guess what's came afterward????
Heart! (of course la.dah nm pun shed the fat at heart.xkn la nk jumpak kidney pulak kn?)
So, the answer for our objective is : Mr Cadaver has a big heart.
No, I don't know if Mr Cadaver was kind.
But anatomically, Mr Cadaver possesses a bigger than normal heart.
A heavy drinker's heart

Some medical fact : heavy drinker, apart from compulsory temporary insanity(pardon my term, my vocab is limited-tp mmg betul pun kn pkataan ni?) and high risk of liver damage also have an enlargement of the heart.
Bygkn ya, xkesian ka kt heart kita 2.dah la dia kerja sepanjang kita bernafas tanpa gaji, why can't we do it a favour by taking care of it well being.

Owh, and another exciting thing is, the people from abdominal region faoung out that there is a firm,abnormal,enlargement under the intestines.
Dr Kurst told us that it can be an ectopic spleen (I was like, jauhnya spleen ni merantau), a tumor or aneurysm of abdominal aorta.
We agreed on aneurysm abdominal aorta but that will be confirmed next time.

Sekian laporan date saya dan rakan2 bersama dgn Mr Cadaver di pagi Isnin yg indah



Ops, almost forget 1 interesting fact that Dr Hajek told me.
Albert Einstein death was due to rupture of abdominal aorta aneurysm

Life Ain't A Piece of Cake


Most of the times, despite the hardness, I've always have things my way.
I want good marks, I get it.
I want new baju kurung, my mom sew it for me.
I want to go overseas, I read medicine in Czech.
Things always turn up the way I want them to be like.

Don't misunderstand me.
It's not that I trample others on my way there.
I'm the person who set my goal and go for it.
And luck is always by my side.

And what's happening now is a complete vice versa.
Now is that time that we called the 'once in a blue moon' (and I hope so)
Things turn up upside down
I don't have my say

As it don't mean end of the world for me
It's still bothering me every now and then
It's suffocating, like an underneath space where I have difficulty breathing
Where I can see what I want and not getting there
It's the time where I need to tame my I-want-it-I-go-get-it personality.

Things like this happens.
The phase where you, like usual know what u want and what to do.
It's just that now, it involves other
And things get complicated when we have other people in our way.
We need to take them into consideration.
A very serious consideration.
And I don't like it.

I guess that explains me being an individualistic person.
Which, I am.
Don't get me wrong.
It's not that I despise the presence of people around me.
It's just that I enjoy being independent on reaching my goal.
Because experience taught me, if I'm to wait for others on the way to reach my goal.
I'll never be there.
Because people, most of them, like to procrastinate thing.
And everyone have their own commitment.
And I'm not the one who wait for the unknown.
So, isn't it better for me to charge forward?
When I know what to do.

And let's get back to the main point.
When u are a girl, living in a foreign country, nurtured in a close knit family.
Doing things alone is not preferable.
By the situation.
By the general safety.
By the family.
By yourself, it's preferable.

Now I taste another side of the live.

My teacher told me
"when I was young, I want to eat tasty food"
"but I don't have the money"
"now, I have a fortune and a galore of everything fine and tasty"
"but what's the use of it, when I don't have my appetite"

Spring in The House


Wow!


The change of season from winter to spring is very obvious.
People start to cycle, inline skating and motorbike.
I was perplexed before this because motorbike is once in a blue moon sight.
Foolish me, how is it possible to motorbike in the middle of winter.
Lack of common sense LOL

And I love spring very much.
First of all because of the sunshine.
Imagine, a brightly lit day.
and warm.
feels like mom's hug *hugs!!!!*



people also start to put on sandals which is real cool!
and wearing shades.
I need my shades babes!
Really it not something like kehendak but it's more to keperluan
Due to the fact that the sunlight is wayyyy brighter here than back at home.
And I know people see me as a girl who walk with closed eye
Don't blame me for my eyes are so small.

Also, no more heavy jackets or wool sweater.
It's so lovely to be embraced by normal clothes again.
Except that people begin to show off some skin
Maksiat mata vs cuci mata
LOL
But it's so relaxing to see that life is getting back to its norml cycle
by which I mean, people start to go out
and parks are now cheered up with myriad of flowers
and the cherry blossoms is abundant
ah, the beauty of spring =)


And do I tell u, the first day after the summer dayliht time, I heard birds chirping
Then the realisation hits me.
I haven't hear the melody since I came here.
And it's a very sweet thing to hear.
Alhamdulillah for these things
and the insects is here too

But poor for some people who is allergic to pollen.
My friend has been sneezing over and over
and I pity her so much.


oh yes!
another thing is we can enjoy our meal outside
That is so very cool ok
Sitting on a terrace or outside the cafe
Filling your stomach and watching people
and lastly enjoying your ice cream
I like!

Anyway, it's really a great insight for me to watch such changes
It really makes me feel like I'm living in 4 seasons country.

I Just Realised

That Muslim never done any ethnic clearance.
When the first Islamic country, Madinah is formed, Islam propose for a peaceful resolution.
When Muhammad Al-Fatih conquers Turkey, there's nothing like ethnic clearance.
But world don't seem to realise all this.
and me too, until a moments before.
It suddenly appear before me out of nowhere when I was reading male reproductive system.

Let us see the quite recent record.
The holocaust, was not done by Muslim.
The Berlin wall was not set up by Muslim.

But now, we see a new wall is constructed in the West Bank upon Muslim.
Taboo weapons used against Muslim.
The ethnic clearance in previous Chechnya is done TO Muslim.

So, how come the world don't see this.
I'm totally feel misjudged by the world.
We are not terrorist.
U are afraid of your own shadow and you put the blame on us Muslim.
U r labelling us terrorist while turning blind eye on the ethnic cleansing in Chechnya and now, in Palestine.
Is your right brain hemisphere functioning normally?
Where goes your logic?

Malaysian Night 2009



Proudly brought to Hradec Kralove by Malaysian students studying in LFHK.
Because of the high demand? , two more tables were added.

Emcee of the evening.


VIP


Guests




Some of the hosts



Lecturers
Rupa-rupanya abg bijak yg ajar lab anat I dah kawin...sedeh ok.but this pic looks beutiful,so i upload la.





Dikir Barat. A very hyperactive tukang karut. Mengarut sungguh step2 beliau.


And in that evening there are people who tpaksa kena kahwin. bukan sbb kena tgkp basah tp sbb da xda org len nk kawen.
This is said to be Puteri Pasai (Princess of Pasai)

Hang Li Po. I'm sorry that I don't know that Princess Hang Li Po actually is bespectacled. hikhikhik

Puteri Siam. Lihat jariku, sekali ku gerengau kau, cali pun xbley lwn.
Actually my Latin lecturer was impressed with this actress.


I loooooooooveeeee this.
Indian dance.
My first time seeing Indian dance is in PLKN (National Service).
At that time, Twas my Indian friend dancing with bunyi lonceng kaki yg gemerincing.
Since then, I love Indian dance.


There's band performance too. I guess it will be our culture in few years time and honestly, I don't like the idea.
Gabus and rebana ubi would be doomed if that happens.


Laksamana Cheng Ho. Kreatif sungguh org2 props. Diambilnya jubah Kak Lah utk laksamana n dijadikannya winter cap (atau nama manjanya, anak tudung) sbg headdress laksamana. Owh, and I also don't know that Cheng Ho actually wear spectacle. Maju sungguh.

Eating spicy food competition. Please scan the picture and u'll find out that almost 90% of contestants are spicy food eater. LOL.


My anatomy lecturer. Salute!

A booth for traditional clothes was set up too.





There were lotsa food.
Satay (now I can say that I've an experience in making satay.~walaupun aku hny tolong cucuk sj)
Nasi Briyani.
Roti jala. Darya called it "something like spaghetti but pressed"
Chicken curry. In no time, what left is just the pot.
Chicken pie.
Kuah dhal.
and lotsa more.

Overall, I was happy on that night.
Ada la cuci mata sikit. (astaghfirullah,xnk buat dah lps ni, da bhari I x sng duduk sbb ni ok)
Just that I really really really tkezut + despise the unexpected announcement
"there'll be after party at Extreme bar after this event"
Assalamualaikum, we are Malaysian ok.
There's no such thing like after party after any of our event.
Psl industri hiburan tanah air tu mmg dah tlalu bkiblatkan Barat.
But hell no, overall us Malaysians don't have after party as our culture.
I'm really pissed off.

I would love to go to other Malaysian Night.
It's a great opportunity to know people.
And of course a Malaysian Night SANS after party.

Boycott : An Experience

I'm a muslimah living in Czech Republic.
Where most people choose to be atheis.
Always, finding halal meat/chicken is quite complicated.
But surprisingly, I found that it's not a burden at all.
Instead, I've benefited from it.
In no time, I can cook.
Even it still can't be compared to my mom's cooking.
It's improving.
Plus, after some thoughts, I found out that I'm practising a healthy diet.
Mind you, I can finished up 2 plated of rice before this.
Apart from that, I save a lot.
Given that I eat at home and the red meat intake is seldom.

I'm one of so many muslims who boycott the Israel product and any company that's giving financial support to it.
When I first arrived in Hradec Kralove.
I was the one who doubt why should I donate money everytime we have event.
I don't think that it's useful.
And I don't see where boycott can lead us to.
Plus, I'm an avid Nestle user, I use toiletris produced by companies that support Israel.
In simple sentence, I had so many boycott product in my house.
Why bother myself?

Gradually, I begin to understand.
And I begin to feel the pain of those Palestinians.
At first, it was hard for me.
It's well known, habit is hard to be changed.
But when I found my reason, I set my goal and go for it.
I become more creative in finding other product.
New discoveries I tell you.
It's tempting.
And again, I save a lot.
All my mistakes of buying unimportant things and throwing out money blindly prevail before me.
Alhamdulillah, I realise my mistake.

People would want to know why I'm doing this.
I'm boycotting because I am a Muslim
Because the Palestinians are my brothers and sisters
Because I don't fight with weapons

Thru this all, I shape myself in a better way.
Thanks a lot.
And I'll keep doing my part.
Zalim ialah tidak meletakkan sesuatu pada tempatnya.
My brothers and sisters have every right to receive help from me.
It's not a useless effort because at the end of time, the victory is ours.

Going Back

was typing a post on hibiscus,
when the phone rang.
The other side spoke with a very low decibel.
Sakitkah?
Mulut mls btanya.
The next sentences really locked my mouth and freezed my heart beat.
Ayah Kila meninggal.
Called to be with Allah SWT.
My tears gave way.

We went upstairs.
Yassin just ended at the same time I took my place.
Tdengar suara yg kehilangan mengetuai bacaan tahlil yg seterusnya.
How strong.
But of course with a heartbreaking tone.
My tears gave way again
I never was like that
I'm a very good pretender
I don't show off my feeling
I can be really angry inside but outside,
no one ever notice
But this time, everytime her voice trailed off
with every hard breath that she takes
I felt as if my heart being pulled
And I can't suppress my feeling

Tomorrow, we have weekly microtest and biology lab.
some of us will sit for slide test to get the credit.
Our turn is a day after tomorrow.

Sudah besar rupanya kita di sini.
I was touched, really
I heard that everybody tiba2 stop studying
yg dekat fakulti
packed up and leave
automatically for yassin and tahlil recitation

embassy can't help at this moment
nor do online booking
but the hikmah behind duit tak sempat belanja, terlebih tukar duit crown
semuanya prevail time ni
Subhanallah
