Yesterday a friend of mine posted this status on facebook. Nowadays, after Syaikh Google, The Kitab of Facebook is where people get their wisdom.

"Umar Al-Khattab berubah, Saidina Hamzah berubah, Wardina Safiyah berubah, Amer munawer berubah, Ruffedge, VE, bob lokman semua pun berubah. Kalau diorang boleh berubah, kenapa tidak kita?

:)"

"Umar al-Khattab changed, Sayyidina Hamzah changed, Wardina Safiyyah changed, Amer Munawer changed, Ruffedge, VE, Bob Lokman, all of them changed. If they could change, why not us?"

Nice question.
 
Why not us? Change, as they say, is the only constant.
 
Umar al Khattab was a feared and brutal man before he changed, but after changing, he could cry just from listening to verses of the Qur'an.
 
How did the author change? Ever heard "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach?" It started with physical nourishment, it changed to mental spiritual nourishment.
 
Its strange how people fear change. I've heard some of my friends say
 
"Did you hear about this guy? After he flew to the UK/egypt/america/etc, he became really alim. He's a good guy now."
 
Everyone, in their heart of hearts, wants to be good. Its just that they don't know how.
 
So i'll let you in on a little secret, one that helped me:
 
Step 1: Pray to Allah for guidance.
 
Step 2: Find the good guys. And learn from them.
 
Step 3: I'll post it on this blog if i remember.
 
Have a lecture to catch now. Salaam.
