Ok I have like 30 more minutes in irk lab. My initial plan was to go out to wangsa maju and take out some money but then right after class, i suddenly find myself in this lab. hmm… habit i guess.. I always either go toitd or this lab after my classes end at 5 pm so here I am. But been reading some cool messages, not just idling around the virtual world.

Raed about an article by an ustaz, whom I know and worked with him during Forum last year. He was talking about young relationships and truthfully, I know he was talking about IIU and IIU-Matric students, like how ‘special’ friendships developed between brothers and sisters, not through dating but through smses, emails and societies and programmes as a way to meet one another. I mean, these are so the way the locals, especially the ‘alim’ locals have their relationships. And yes, there’s those ridiculous nasyid songs talking about love. Nasyids have lost their significance and the real message to convey. There’s pros and cons. On one hand, nasyid love songs talk about love and in the end realising there’s only one true love, which is love to Allah. I mean it’s true, but somehow or rather, it’s just not nasyid anymore when the object of ‘worhip’ is not initially Allah, but to a guy or a girl. Don’t blame me if I’m not listening to nasyids. They are pop love songs now. Verbatim. And they’re just trying to justify that their act is right.

I don’t know how to put it but I guess easy for me to say because I’m not in a relationship, I don’t understand the needs of those who are involved. By the way, A question which have always been in my mind since my schooldays is, how do my ustazs and ustazahs find their partner?? They don’t go for dates, no calls at night, no emotional letters??? I never quite find the answers, they always brushed of the question and say, you shouldn’t bother yourself with these questions, just concentrate on your studies!! But it never fails to amaze me that my teachers all seem to have just the right partner without looking for it. *sigh*

Anyway, on a last note, I want to be like Dr Haslina, Dr KamarOniah, Dr Thameem Usama and others to be added….I’m thankful to Allah for giving me the opportunity to be their student and learn not just the knowledge they’re teaching but the hidden qualities they portray in presenting Islam. They are my mentors, truly my teachers.
