whom do we label as cool? or awesome?

Dengan nama Allah, Tuhan yang punya hikmah.

Some people think multiple piercings here and there are gross. Some people do it just because they think it's a cool thing to do. (Kesian kan?)

Some people think that smoking sheesha is cool when it's clearly harmful and is detrimental to one's health. Cigarette smoking, likewise.

Some people say PDA (read: public dispay of affection) is a cool act while some people say it is cooler to keep your mouth shut and be humble 'cause when things or the outcome of your lovey dovey thingy don't turn out as you would always wish, that would be so shameful.

Some prefer loud, emo or techno songs because they find it cool even though the lyrics aren't nice.

Okay, Hakimah, cut the crap, pretty please? Tapi, pabila seni kata itu tidak elok atau tidak bermakna dan kita mendengar, melayan dan menyanyikannya juga, lalu bagaimanakah? Teehee.


Abu Hurairah RA narrated that Rasulullah SAW said:

"Approaching the Day of Judgment, there will be tricky years, wicked years, where liars would be believed. And the truthful would not be believed. And the untrustworthy would be trusted. And the trustworthy would not be trusted. And the rughaibullah would speak."

And the sahabah asked, “Who is the rughaibullah?”

Rasulullah saw said "the lowly"

I.e. The insignificant people will be talking in the affairs of the people".
And this hadith is narrated by Ibnu Majah.

In another hadith narrated by Ahmad, Rasulullah saw says,

“The time will come where this world will be run by luqa’ ibn luqa’.”

Luqa’ means wicked.

Rasulullah SAW says, a time will come when this world is belonged to a wicked son of a wicked.
The world will belong to them.

What does it mean that the world will belong to them?
It means, if you want to see who they are, look at the rich and famous. That’s where you’ll find.

SubhanAllah, the whole field of entertainment is based on the fakh; hypocrisy.

And subhanAllah, if you ask around, "what do you think about the singer", "what do you think about this actor", they will say he' or she’s- cool! He’s cool and she’s cool!

And subhanAllah, that’s the exact translation of this hadith. SubhanAllah you’ll find the description of Rasulullah SAW. And this hadith is Muttafakun 'Alaih.


Rasulullah SAW says,

"A time will come when it will be said about a man, ma aqalahu"; how intelligence he is, "wa ma agrafah". 

What’s the translation of ma agrafah? - How cool he is. 

So people will say, "look at how intelligent he is, look at how cool he is", 

and then Rasulullah SAW says; 

"there is not even a single grain of iman in his heart".

Not even a single grain of iman is in the heart of that person but the people describe him as cool.

Some of these sport stars, entertainment stars, no qualifications whatsoever in terms of morality, in terms of ethics or iman- nothing.

We find the worst personalities, and they are the ones who people describe as cool.

ISLAM hakikatnya adalah satu sistem hidup, yang diturunkan oleh PENCIPTA segala makhluk, sebagai maslahat seluruh alam, bukan sekadar kebaikan buat kaum manusia semata-mata. Justeru, sistem hidup ISLAM ini perlu diterjemahkan ke dalam kehidupan manusia, yang telah ditaklifkan menjadi pentadbir di atas muka bumi ini. - diambil dari sini.


Therefore, let us realize, that, ISLAM is the real cool thing.

Peeps, halal is cool, that's one thing we need to keep in mind.

Sebab islam tu lengkap, dan melengkapi (waktu titas haritu kan dah belajar),

It is the coolest trend/lifestyle of all time. And we need to practise it dengan penuh `izzah - this is a reminder to self.

Mari masuk islam secara kaaaaaaaaaaaaffffffffffah. Vamos!

Wallahualam.

PS; Now that we know what "cool" actually is, are we going to label that so and so as cool, or, do we still self-label ourselves as cool? Erk.

PPS; B'day saye dah nak dekat ni. My wishlist: a huge closet full of cool clothes =D.
