Forgiveness

“Indeed Shaytan (Satan) said, ‘My Lord, by Your Honor and Might! I will not stop misleading Your slaves as long as their souls remain in their bodies. So Allah (swt) responded, ‘By My Honor, Might and Majesty, I will not stop forgiving them as long as they seek My forgiveness.’” (Ahmad)

Abu Ayyub Khalid bin Zaid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, "Were you not to commit sins, Allah would create people who would commit sins and ask for forgiveness and He would forgive them".

Which Side Should I Choose?

 srizals
On which side should I be?
On the side of those who persecute the unborn?
Or the side that protect decency from lunacy?

On which side should I be?
On the side of those who persecute cruel criminals?
Or the side that protect criminals from tasting their own cruelty?
Should not the monsters be given their own taste of medicine?
Or should the burnt, maimed and tormented victims be laid to waste?
They have given death, why should they be given life?

On which side should I be?
On the side of the confused sex that can't even make up his or her sex?
On the side of those who mutilated their own private parts to become who they are not?
Or on the side that help the confused
To embrace their original nature that was given to them

On which side should I be?
Should I be with those who ask others to fight for him?
Or on the side of those who fight for me?

On which side should I be?
With the bearded ones that look like holy men?
When they support unrepentant sinners openly
When they support anarchy unashamedly.

I'm sorry for I could not
Be a man that fraught you not

For you want my heaven ruined into hell
For you want my son ashamed for being a man
For you want my daughter unsafe among her female friends

You have chosen your side
I've chosen mine.

The good and the evil cannot coexist.
So fight we must, so let's fight well
With words, with mind, with the mighty pen
Save as many, as many we can

From the liars and pretenders who are their masters
From the liars and pretenders who dream to be our masters.

A Leader of Chaos

I'm a leader of chaos
I befriend the proud and the rich
I use the poor and the confused
I'll make sure everyone would lose

I smile at my own ingenuity
I smile at the buffaloes
I smile at the monkeys
Who think that I can lead
Chaos and anarchy

Let me lead you to the path of destruction
Let no man and law stand in our way

Let me lead you to the path of self-indulgement
Let no man restrained from self-fulfillment

I'm a leader of chaos
Too bad you're on the side of the bleeding heads
Too bad you have to waste millions to hear my demands
Too bad you're tainted with my stunts

Just remember not to create chaos in my domain
Just remember not to unleash anarchy in my backyard
Only I am entitled to do it.
Only I am proud enough to be it.

This poem is dedicated to leaders of chaos and anarchy all over the world, especially in my own  backyard.

The Trials of Life

srizals

Welcome to the real world
It is full of sadness and cruelty
Where the vicious were not always punished by the laws of men all the time
Where the liars are praised and bathed in the glory of their lies most of the time

Don't be sad, don't be confused
That is why you are you and they are them
It's what make us different from one another
It's what define a man apart from the beast

Welcome to the real world
You're bound to make mistakes from time to time
You're bound to forget your mission and purpose in all due time
Blinded by the glittering beauty and wealth around us
It's hard not to be complacent

But don't worry
It happened then and it will happen again

Don't worry
It shows that you're only a human you
So don't try to be an angel, be the human you
So don't try to be the devil, be the human you

Welcome to the real world
When all is lost and you're alone
Remember the blessings you had then
Remember the blessings you will have tomorrow

For time will always take its turn
There's time for leisure as there's time for sorrow

But don't forget
The happiness that we had and have here
And the ever lasting happiness that awaits those who are steadfast in truth.

So, good luck, I say to you
So, good luck I bid you
Hope to be your company in the garden of forever youth.

Religion, Language and Races

srizals

Some see language as a yardstick that should be defining the religion of Islam. Maybe one should read more and understand that most all scholars agree that language is a gift from God. Muslims are not merely Malays and the majority of Muslims do not even speak Malaysian's Malay. Being Muslim transcends the barrier of language, race, culture, history and geography. Sad to know that some think you're a less Muslim for being able to converse in a language other than the ordinary. Maybe this is why non Muslims in Malaysia are having a difficult time to get acquainted with Islam. They are afraid that they have to become Malays instead of being Muslims. How sad. God created mankind and He had made them into various races. Who are we to deny what made us colourful humans?

Suatu Penyesalan

srizals



Ya Allah,

Ampunilah para pendusta yang bertaubat
Kerana mereka meninggalkan dusta kerana Mu

Maafkanlah ahli maksiat yang menyesal
Kerana mereka meninggalkan maksiat kerana Mu

Kasihanilah ahli kezaliman yang berhenti menzalimi kerana Mu
Kerana mereka telah menzalimi diri mereka sendiri sebenarnya
Kerana mereka telah menganiayai diri mereka sendiri sebetulnya

Dalam hanyutan nafsu
Membadai akal
Membutakan iman
Melupakan aib diri

Rahmatilah kami Ya Tuhan

Insan-insan kerdil

Yang terlanjur zalim
Yang terlanjur bongkak
Yang terlanjur ujub
Yang banyak salah dan silapnya
Yang banyak keluh-kesahnya
Yang banyak ragu-ragunya

Ingatilah kami akan dosa-dosa kami
Saat kami diuji kesusahan
Saat kami disentuh kepayahan
Saat kami diusik kesakitan

Kerana itu semua tak seberapa Tuhanku
Berbanding segala jerih perih dan derita
Yang kami timpakan kepada hamba-hamba Mu

Tanpa hak
Tanpa sebab

Melainkan hanya kerana suatu kesombongan palsu
Melainkan hanya kerana dengki yang membakar amalan murni

Moga ia menjadi penebus segala dosa silamku
Moga ia menjadi penebus segala dosa hadapanku

Kabulkanlah Ya Allah, Tuhan sekalian Alam
Tiada Tuhan melainkan Engkau
Maka maafkanlah kami
Hamba-hamba Mu yang bertaubat kepada Mu

Amin Ya Rabbal 'Alamin.
