MyReading
'Read..." that was the first command given to Muhammad saw, when he was first approached by the Holly Ghost, Jibrail. But surely it means beyond literally read which through my lots of reading it could mean Do for the course of Allah.... And, among the Malays, reading is nothing new, it is sort of a must, especially among the rural folks, the Malay kids, since when they begin to know how to talk, they were exposed to reading, first the Al Muqaddam, then the Quran. Except, I believe, they seldom expand thereon.(2) Two books that I remember most: Magdelina and Perdana. I read MAGDELINA while I was in Form II, thus quite sometimes I had searched for the books among our public libraries. I can't found one. From the internet and with a help from a friend, Nurul Aida in Jakarta, in 2009, I went to Jakarta Pusat Library, still I only managed to have the photocopy of Magdelina. In 2010, my search brought me to Taman Ismail Marzuki (TIM) then to Taman Mini Indonesia Indah (TMII), where Shamsuddin the owner of the Warung Buku Langka handed me one. Magdelina is about love on a two cross road of two persons of contrasting social status. I experienced this many times. While Perdana was a gift by my school, SMR Kuala Krai, Kelantan for my good result in my SRP Exam in 1975. After reading the book, I donated the book to our school library since then I have to move to SMSAH in Jitra Kedah. The book was about a kampung youth struggle to develop his Kampung after the Japanese invasion. Now, I tried to be the main character in the novel. Both books, seem to have some clue to my future personal life path.
(3) I began to love reading when I was in Form II (1974), and mostly reading on Biography. At such age, I read a lot on Malaysian Leaders and Artists. Then when in Form IV, as I was appointed the Secretary of the School Debate Club (BM & BI), I began to read heavier stuff such as Mastika, Dewan Masyarakat, Dewan Bahasa and Political Books. I even have good collection of the Yearly National Budget Book.
(4) At Primary School in Sg. Putin, Pendam (1966), then Abg Man, Simunjan(1967-72), we just read books on Kassim and Eng Hock! In those days, there was no public library. Even the school don't have one. We had no much books to read.
(5) When MyBoy, Luqman Nur Haqim, was born, I bought him lots of colourful plastic books for him to play with. Then I moved into large pictorial books. I spent lots of time teaching him to differentiate colors, forms, and objects. The same treatment was accorded when MyGirl, Nur Fatmadewi, was born. Now, reading is their habit. They have their own Library with their own collections. I'm happy for being able to instill deep reading habit among them. Probably the only sustainable wealth that I could left behind.
(6) My reading is diverse. The main purpose of MyReading is to look for solutions to various short fall to MyKnowledges and Skills in MyQuest of MyTasks. Nonetheless, lately (last five years), MyReading is to confirm on the Policies, Methodologies and Procedures that I think are right for the Organization that I lead. The greatest setback for me was, since 1973 to late 2011, all my reading were more of orientalist products. Book on Islamic matters were hardly available especially those in English, Malays or even Indonesian. Alhamdullilah, since I frequent Indonesia in 2010, now I have better collection of Islamic books which I source either through Gramedia, MPH and or Darusallam. I hope one day I would be able to visit great Islamic publisher in Pakistan and India who seem to have work on greater tyranslation of the Islamic documents.
(7) I'm listing books that I have read and in my archived since may be 15-20 years ago, and if anyone, believe we could share, let do so to expand our knowledge. I'm also interested to get some recommendation on books that you guys read and could further enrich MyKnowledge. My next dream is to have a BookCafe. To date I have placed some books at Nusantara Restro at Lorong Simpang Tiga 1, Kuching as well as at MyStore Cafe in Kg. Terasi, Sadong Jaya, Simunjan.
ISLAMIC BOOKS
We are in very much lacking on Islamic books that dwell on the diverse demand of Islam as a Way of Life. Our focus all these while was more of the spiritual of Islam not the wholesome of the religion.

Sdra/i(?)Bayu Senja, I got those books, and would be great if you could give me the real author and publisher of MyMagdelena......hopefully that will inspire me to do, I don't know...what, but, I keep thinking about the book! Thanks.

Saya kira menjumpai "magdelena" dalam internet namun tidak pasti magdelena yang saya jumpa itu adalah keinginan saudara Abdullah. Namun dikira dari tarikh saudara membaca buku tersebut seakan ianya bukan karya asal. Saya akan membantu saudara mencarinya di internet atau dimana-mana. Saya kira tuan pembaca yang setia. Mencari untuk menambah,mencari untuk pengalaman, mencari untuk bangsa dan negara dan seterusnya mencari bukan sekadar diingatan. -Andalusia-
ReplyDeleteChek lah,
ReplyDeleteBuku Mastika time Chek Lah sama tak dengan Mastika sekarang?????
Mastika sekarang adalah bahan bacaan ringan yang sangat tidak relevan untuk dibaca dan disimpan sebab banyak memaparkan cerita separa lucah....
Entah kenapa ada penulis yang tidak bertanggungjawap menjadikan minda Melayu menyimpan kisah-kisah murahan untuk dijadikan tatapan dan hidangan minda yang dah tersedia ketandusannya.Hmmmm...banyak untuk difikirkan....
Kalau di Jepun, komik-komik malah drama-dramanya pun banyak menyelitkan pengajaran dan teladan, tetapi tidak halnya dengan kebanyakan komik yang terdapat di negara kita yang banyaknya datang dari barat dan drama-drama kita yang banyak membincangkan isu cinta yang tiada kesudahan dan akhirnya tiada langsung pengajaran yang diperolehi setelah 2 hingga 3 jam mengadap TV.....
Semua ini mencerminkan minda dan perwatakan Melayu....Saya akan mengikut langkah Chek Lah, memperbanyakkan membaca bahan bacaan ilmiah.
TQ Dear Chek Lah!!!!!!!!!
(maynis99)
I have been reading heavy stuff since I my teen ages. Mastika at that time only talk about serious matters, about the survival of our people. I don't read blue staff, I don't like blue staff, though when I was bachelor I used to share with friends and even going out with friends who love those stuff.
ReplyDelete(2) I love thing that give me strength to dedicate and wake me up for the course of this Country.
(3) Thanks to all who seem to be searching this Magdelena (just like Azizah for P Ramlee), probably this book (novel) would give me another strength for other course. Allahuwaalam.
Just to share....in case some of you did not notice/ read these last weekend...Some good quotes on magic of books & reading (from Hermit's Column, Borneo Post 26/4/09)
ReplyDeleteA good book on your shelf is a friend that turns its back on you and remains a friend. — Author Unknown
“A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man’s mind can get both provocation and privacy. — Edward P Morgan
“The worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it. — James Bryce
“There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and a tired man who wants a book to read. — GK Chesterton
“Many people, other than the authors, contribute to the making of a book, from the first person who had the bright idea of alphabetic writing through the inventor of movable type to the lumberjacks who felled the trees that were pulped for its printing. It is not customary to acknowledge the trees themselves, though their commitment is total. — Forsyth and Rada, Machine Learning
‘Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers. — Charles W. Eliot
“Outside of a dog, a book is man’s best friend. Inside of a dog it’s too dark to read. — Groucho Marx
“I find television to be very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go in the other room and read a book. — Groucho Marx
nmapaknya banyak peminat chek lah nak tolong cari buku ya...semua nak cari point chek lah...bila dia orang kena sebiji esok, baru tau langit tinggi rendah....

Tuntutan al-Quran dari 5 segi :
ReplyDelete1) Membaca al-Quran. Jangan kosong hari-hari kita dengan tilawah al-Quran.
Sepatutnya tidak timbul lagi kisah para amilin tidak membaca al-Quran.
Ini adalah asas. Ruh dan nyawa kita.
2) Membaca terjemahan al-Quran. Kita ini bukan bangsa Arab yang memahami bahasa al-Quran. Oleh itu, perlu kita membaca terjemahan al-Quran supaya kita mendapat pengetahuan daripada apa yang kita baca.
3) Membaca tafsir al-Quran. Ertinya huraian-huraian setiap ayat al-Quran. Tidak memadai terjemahan kerana terdapat ayat yang perlu kepada keterangan tertentu.
Berapa ramai umat Islam membaca al-Quran tetapi selalu menentang perintah al-Quran. Antara sebabnya kerana tidak memahami apa yang dibaca.
4) Tadabbur al-Quran. Tadabbur ertinya merenung, mengkaji, meneliti dan seumpamanya.
Biasanya kalau kita membaca satu buku, kita bukan semata-mata mahu membaca, dan kemudian habis begitu saja. Tetapi kita mahu maklumat, ilmu pengetahuan dan sebagainya.
Begitulah sepatutnya dengan al-Quran. Ramai umat Islam rajin baca al-Quran tapi tidak mahu mengambil manfaat ilmu pengetahuan darinya.
Ramai yang baca hanya sekadar mahu pahala baca, tidak mahu faham dan meneliti ayat al-Quran.
5) Istiqamah dengan al-Quran. Istiqamah baca, seterusnya istiqamah beramal dengan perintah al-Quran. Perintah dan larangan. Mengambil manfaat dengan peristiwa yang diceritakan di dalamnya.
Berdoalah kepada Allah mudah-mudahan kita diberikan kekuatan untuk melaksanakan kelima-lima tuntutan berkenaan."TheMonkey"
Membaca Al-Quran..harus mengetahui sebab-sebab penurunannya kerana setiap surah yang diturunkan mempunyai cerita dan panduan disebaliknya... Maka baca , faham dan hayati harus juga disatukan dengan pengetahuan berkaitan dengan sebab-sebab penurunan.Dengan mengabungkan elemen-elemen ini kita boleh memngadaptasi ilmu Al-Quran dan membina fatwa berlandaskan Al-Quran....

Al Quran, adalah formula hidup. Hanya bergantung dengan membaca Al Quran, kita pasti tidak akan faham maksudnya formula tersebut. Maka tidak heranlah jika, dalam mendalami Al Quran, Muhammad saw turut menyarankan kita kembara ke negeri Cina. Maksudnya di sini, kita mesti menyelidik. Penyelidikkan kita hendaklah mencakupi segala bidang, hanya dengan cara ini, barulah akan kita temui maksud khusus dan maksud sejagat ayat-ayat Allah itu.
ReplyDelete(2) Mudah-mudahan kita mulai faham kenapa Al Iqra adalah ayat pertama diturunkan Allah untuk Muhammad yg buta huruf. Apakah Allah tidak tahu Muhammad itu buta huruf. Kalau manusia, sudah tahu dia buta huruf, dan kita suruh dia membaca, pastinya kita kata manusia ini sudah GILA! Maka, bacalah, fahamlah, kenapa Allah kadang-kadang melakukan 'impossible mission on impposible matter'.....
cakap pasal baca buku, ramai yagn baca, kita tabik spring.buku tak kira jenis apa semua bagus dibaca.tapi berapa ramai yang baca Quran ya.agak-agaknya kita pasti merangkak bagai anak kecil kerana tak ramai antara kita (Muslim) rajin nak baca Quran.Paham ke tidak yang dibaca itu satu perkara lain.Yang penting, adakah ia dibaca? renungkanlah....Quran kdgkalanya hanya menjadu penyeri ruang tamu...macam dah jadi trend
ReplyDeleteSaya teringat arwah nenek bercerita sebelum mengajar al-Quran. Kamu tahu kenapa kamu perlu baca Quran? Semua geleng kepala.. mana nak tau.. orang suruh mengaji kita gi lah mengaji.. Lepas tu dia tanya soalan satu lagi: kamu tahu kenapa kamu sembahyang? : Saya sempat menjawab kerana itu kewajipan.
ReplyDeleteNenek dengan nada lembut mengatakan kamu kena kenal Tuhan kamu dulu...siapa yang menjadikan kamu... baru kamu dapat merasakan kepentingan membaca al-quran... bukan baca aja...tanpa punya kepercayaan dan keimanan pada ALLAH.
Kalau setakat baca orang tak Islam pun boleh baca... orang kafir yang pandai membaca tulisan Jawi pun boleh baca...

Lately I read an Indonesian Novel, titled Perempuan Berkalung Sorban by Abidah El Khlieqy, which is now has been made into movie, on page 88 of her novel she quoted seperti Magdalena menerima cumbuan Stevan. I believe she had read the Novel and probably has the novel. I email her, but no respond. Who know, if any of you bump on her, just tell her, I really want the book. I just don't know why, but normally my instinct is always correct on thing that I want. Kindly, assist. I have been wondering in many book stores to look for this Magdalena.

What is so special abt " magdelena"? Setakat banyak baca buku dan dapat ilmu tak berguna kalau hikmah tak datang di hati. Iblis SOSAT bukan tak berilmu!!!! Renung renung lah!!!!
ReplyDeleteAt least when you read, your mind is working and you are exposed to various knowledge - beyond what the classroom can offer you. This is the problem with our people nowadays, they are so infested with negative thoughts that good intents can be twisted around just to fit the petty minds. Renung renung lah jugak!!!
