Last night, I was just done with my Maghrib and was about to leave the mosque when I heard a commotion, which sounded like a gang fight. The pakciks (uncles) at the mosque immediately rushed out. I looked out from the musollah and saw a group of young men running away frightfully into the dark walkway.
When I went out of the mosque, I saw a Bangladeshi lying on the ground and pakciks standing around. I asked if he was stabbed. Nope. I contemplated between calling the police or the ambulance. I wasn’t thinking much but I thought maybe the man needed an ambulance and went with my instincts. I hope he is well now.
Fear crept into me as I walked into the dim walkway that the young men ran into just a few moments before – overpowered by 5-6 big sized men, I could be easily stabbed or worse. I decided that I should put my trust in God, and coaxed myself – it ain’t that bad to die while walking to a class in which you are seeking His ‘ilm.
I have been thinking about it ever since. Maybe I should’ve called the police. Maybe I should’ve gone out the moment I heard the commotion and gave the salam to these young men. Maybe…Maybe…
What is clear though, is that I need to do something more...
May God give me the strength and guidance in doing so...
Insya allah.

pengalaman mengajar erti kehidupan..
skrg sy berpegang pada prinsip ini:
'apabila saya rasa tak sedap hati, saya akan buat sesuatu tanpa berfikir lagi'
cth: bila ke masjid letak kasut kat satu tempat, then on d way to enter the mosque, rasa mcm there's possibility to disappear (the kasut la)..so, i would go back to the place where i put my kasut n put them separately.then, tawakkal.most of the time.. mmg rasa lega.
p/s: coz dlm hadis 40, ada dinyatakan ttg rasa hati.ia adalah benar.
