Sama tapi tak serupa

Alhamdulillah kita telah hampir ke penghujung Syawal. Sudah tamatkah kita berpuasa 6? Walaupun tidak sama puasa sunat dengan puasa wajib, tapi Nabi menyuruh kita berpuasa 6 hari dalam bln Syawal krn ia menyamai dgn puasa sepanjang tahun. Walaupun, 6 hari, ttp ia amat besar di sisi Allah. Sama pahalanya, tapi kurang kerja buatnya. Maha pemurah Allah, dan sangat rugi lah kalau kita tidak menyempurnakan saranan ini. Allahu A'lam.

Macam anak buah saya yang dua orang ni! sama tapi x serupa :D

Arsenal's Darkest Hour Under Wenger

"The work we do is not getting the credit it deserves because we are not winning silverware. It is unfair because I think we have more merit as a club than those who have built their teams with millions of pounds whereas Arsenal have brought in young footballers who have come here to play a certain kind of football and who have developed."

GettyImagesSamir Nasri: His departure marks a change in his belief in the Arsenal ideals

Samir Nasri, in April 2010, vouched for the Arsene Wenger philosophy just as he had belatedly started to establish himself in a key role as an Arsenal player. Just 16 months later, Nasri has headed to a club whose strong foundations are built on the spending of millions. Instead of surprise at this departure, Arsenal fans are getting used to a marked lowering of ambition.

Arsene Wenger has already articulated those feelings. He did it just last month, in fact. "Imagine the worst situation - we lose Fabregas and Nasri. You cannot convince people you are ambitious after that," he told reporters on the club's Malaysian tour.

"You cannot pretend you are a big club. A big club holds onto its big players and gives a message out to all the other big clubs that they just cannot come in and take [players] away from you. We worked very hard with these players for years to develop them and now it's time for us to keep them together."

That time has already passed. Cesc Fabregas has already won his first trophy and scored his first goal as a Barcelona player, while Nasri's move to Manchester City was eventually sped through when it became clear that his prospective club would not allow him to aid Arsenal's progress into the Champions League group stages.

In both cases, bigger clubs - one primarily in terms of achievement, the other finance - have paid top dollar to reap the benefits of Wenger's development of young players, still admired throughout the game. That this can happen to Arsenal, a club which has played 13 straight seasons of Champions League and is the third-highest achiever in English football since the advent of the Premier League, hammers home that the game's elite becomes an ever more select bunch, among whom money is always key to success.

Wenger now bears the look of a man who has had the rug pulled from under him. The repeated ministrations of his rain-soaked hair as his team lost to Liverpool conjured memories of McClaren and Hodgson at their lowest ebbs. His public statements have become odd. A statement a fortnight ago that he expected neither Fabregas nor Nasri to leave must now be seen as some kind of sarcastic joke, while a relaxed demeanour during an impromptu press conference at Heathrow Airport as Nasri's departure became official suggested a man who is yet to come to terms with the depth of his plight.

Though in confusing denial that Wednesday's match was critical, failure at Udinese with a squad shorn of the aforementioned plus an injured Jack Wilshere looks eminently possible, and could rob Wenger of £20 million of transfer funds, as loath as he seems to spend them. Lose in Italy, and at Manchester United, and Wenger faces the greatest crisis of a reign not without its disappointments but full of successes and artistic impression.

He leads a squad that needs a reliable goalkeeper to back up the promise of Wojciech Szczesny, at least one more central defender, an experienced left back, two midfielders offering variously creativity and grit, and a forward capable of filling in for the brittle Robin van Persie. Though he now has over £60 million to spend, he has eight days to do so or must then rely on a squad stretched thinly across its bare bones.

Youthful promise has been the quality most associated with Arsenal since the breaking up of the 'Invincibles' of 2004, yet that promise has not been kept. Two players expected to lead through the next generation are now part of someone else's future, leaving the likes of Ignasi Miguel, Carl Jenkinson, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Emmanuel Frimpong exposed as their manager seeks to rescue a season with August not yet out.

While clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United have augmented their own youth products with the expensive purchase of further talent, Wenger must blood those kids alongside the rump of a group who have repeatedly failed to deliver silverware.

If, as Wenger observed, losing their key players was to give up the pretence that Arsenal remain among the game's heavyweights, further failure can only diminish that status further. A big club should expect to win honours and, at the very least, finish in the top four. At present, Wenger's Arsenal look short of that capability.

Disayangi Penduduk Langit

Salam 10 ramadhan terakhir. Ahad lalu, I went to Surau Saujana Impian and saw a JAGUAR! a brand new Jag but i'm not sure what model it was. Subhanallah, orang gini insyaAllah hebat didunia & hebat di Akhirat. Dah la mantap kat dunia, rajin pulak solat berjemaah.

Teringat akan tazkirah Ustaz Solehin Mukhyi (Download sini) yang menceritakan tentang 4 Golongan Manusia iaitu: 

1. Dikenali didunia , dan di sayangi penduduk langit (terbaikk),
2. Tak dikenali didunia, tapi di sayangi penduduk langit,
3. Dikenali didunia, tapi di benci penduduk langit,
4. Tak dikenali didunia, dan di benci penduduk langit (worst!),

Marilah kita sama-sama menghitung dimanakah kedudukan kita, janganlah kita menjadi golongan yang ketiga atau keempat. Jika kini kita berada dalam golongan tersebut, marilah bertindak sewajarnya dan masuklah ke dalam golongan yang pertama atau kedua. InsyaAllah.

Perginya ikan-ikan ku....

Motor yang rosak...

Sentiasa Memberi Yang Terbaik- Motivasi Pagi Ustaz Hasrizal IKIM FM

Berikut adalah nota rancangan Motivasi Pagi yang tersiar di Radio IKIM.FM jam 7:30 pagi, Selasa 6 Julai 2010:

Menyedari akan benarnya sebuah kematian di hujung perjalanan, maka marilah kita menghargai kehidupan ini.

1. Biar pun kehidupan di dunia ini sangat pendek, namun ia menentukan kehidupan tanpa sempadan usia kita di Sana nanti. Biar pun kata sesetengah orang hidup ini sementara, namun hakikatnya kesan perbuatan kita kekal selama-lamanya.
2. Justeru lakukanlah yang terbaik demi menghargai peluang yang ada dalam kehidupan yang singkat ini.
3. Sebagai contoh, seorang suami teringin memakan ayam masak merah. Si isteri memasak acuh tidak acuh sedangkan bibik masak dengan bersungguh-sungguh. Tentu sahaja ayam masak merah kedua itu yang lebih menarik perhatian untuk dijamah. Ia adalah fitrah manusia yang memilih segala yang terbaik jika diberi peluang.
4. Fitrah manusia sukakan yang terbaik
5. Namun bolehkah kita mengharapkan yang terbaik jika tidak memberi yang terbaik? Pepatah menyebut, “what you give you get back“
6. Melakukan yang terbaik adalah semangat Islam dalam semua pekerjaan. Acuh tidak acuh atau budaya melepaskan batok di tangga bertentangan dengan tatacara Islam dalam menilai perbuatan.
7. Berhakkah Allah menghendaki yang terbaik daripada kita? Sudah tentu kerana Allah telah memberikan yang terbaik kepada kita.
8. Kontraktor yang dilantik dengan bekalan alat binaan terbaik, pekerja terbaik, sudah tentu majikan menjangkakan hasil yang terbaik.
9. لقد خلقنا الإنسان في أحسن تقويم

Siaran ulangan bagi slot Motivasi Pagi ini ialah selepas azan Maghrib pada hari yang sama.

Super Copa, Barcelona Won in style

BARCELONA: A Lionel Messi double inspired European and Spanish champions Barcelona to a 3-2 victory over bitter rivals Real Madrid in their Super Cup second leg clash here on Wednesday and a 5-4 aggregate win.

The bad feeling between the two sides boiled over at the end of the match which saw three players sent off - Marcelo and Mesut Ozil of Real Madrid and Barcelona’s David Villa.

Barcelona were far from their best with their players looking rusty and they lacked their usual slick passing, while Real took the game to them.
