Internet oh internet!!

Imagine a guy. A confused guy. A very skeptical look. A bias and negative comments. An everyone-else-is-wrong-except-me attitude.

How hard to talk to a guy like this.

Not just try to debate on sensitive issue, but the lack of knowledge by just quoting some reading in the internet make it so frustrating conversations.

At one time, he quoted saifulislam. Not to say saifulislam is not good, but the issue he brought up to platform without thinking much rational makes me reluctant to say it is a good source of knowledge.

Then, he quoted a so and so talking in the forum in the alahkam.

Then, he quoted a famous mufti, Dr Asri mentioned something in media.

Then, he quoted a few Akil Hay words from Youtube.

To blend them all together, it is just a bomb. It explodes.

I do represent as the Gen Y, that internet is the fastest means, yet easy to get information.

But don’t they have some time to read some books, to meet a few scholars, to ask the experienced one?

Internet is just not enough!

It is fortunate to have a life with full of things to do. A friend of mine once asked, in a regretful tone;

“Kita ni, banyak masa kita spend utk orang. Tiap2 hari letih and takde masa utk diri sendiri”

I was partially agree, then replied;

“Yg mana lebih baik untukmu ya akh, bahawa setiap detik hidupmu terisi perkara yang baik, sedangkan ada orang yang bosan dan tidak tahu utk mengisi masanya”

It was, indeed a reply not to him, but to myself, as i was indeed, and still i am thinking that many things that i do are for others.

Is it for my family? My mother? My zaujah?

After all, it goes back, that everything is for myself. All the responsibilities are merely the means to achieve my objective. Sounds violent.

For the sake of Allah, we sacrifice everything. But most of us think of saving ourselves from anger and act to get rewarded.
