Tazkirah:The best of people..

A man stood up whilst Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was on the minbar and asked:"O Mesenger of Allah,which of the people is the best?" He said:"The best of the people are those are most well-versed in Qur'an,those who are most pious,those who most enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil,and those who are most respectful towards their relatives".(Reported by Ahmad and al-Tabarani). There are five criteria mentioned above. Just check ourselves against them?Are we qualified to be the best ummah?The reality manifest itself... Many of us muslims are capable of doing good deeds but only a few are capable to speak against evils or prevents the evil deeds. Another Hadith:" The fear of people should never prevent any of you from speaking the truth when he sees it or pointing out its importance.Doing so will not hasten one's appointed time of death or lessen one's rizq". (Reported by Ahmad and Abu Dawud. May Allah forgive me and my fellow muslims for our failure to follow the sunnah.

Just a reminder from a note I wrote almost 10 years ago..

Velib

How do we get about 150,000 people to ride bicycles to work in Paris everyday? If it is Amsterdam,I would believe it.If it is Kuala Lumpur,I would say impossible.Yes, it is happening right now in Paris!

The Velib has arrived in New York City yesterday.It started in great style in Paris in 2005,crossed The English Channel to England and after sailing the Atlantic Ocean arrived in NYC in 2013.In Malaysia,we have embarked on cycling as a sport but we have yet to embrace cycling as one of daily transport life style.

Nothing is sweeter than victory!

 Reading the live updates of the game yesterday made me breathless...The score was 79-78.This is SDAR story,our STORY like no other...only shared by fellow SDARA.Congratulation to everyone who contributed to this great event.Yes,it is one point victory.It showed that SDAR has won fighting the best among the best!

One big lesson is we have to fight for our success until the bell rings!If we need to crawl all the the up,so be it![Quoted from a fellow SDARA]

May I congratulate Dr Zamri Chik,the tireless and dedicated  coach, a fellow SDARA, for his selfless effort to make SDAR the Champion of Basketball among the top schools.

An unfashionable or socially inept person.

-Are you a geek?
I am think I was and still am in my own ways...
It started more than ten years ago when I got interested in mobile gadgets when most people are getting to use mobile phones.We have a group called Palmx.Now,like they day-everyone can fly.mobile apps are every where and so easy to use.
In 2009,I got caught in cycling and managed to log 1809km in that year.I was 57 years old then.Now,I cycle every weekend -not with my MTB but with my folding bicycles-A Brompton which came all the way from London.Another geeky things that I I am enjoying on my own are instagram photography on plant morphology and sketching using my new toy iPad2.
