Kingdom Of Heaven II

Assalamu alaikum

InshaAllah all of you are having a great summer vacation. As many of you know there is a new movie out called "Kingdom of Heaven" which touches upon the life of Salahuddin Ayoobi. In the midst of all the western interpretations in the movie, we would like to share with you a quote from him:


A Quote From Salahuddin Ayoobi

"We hope in Allah Most High, to whom be Praise. Who leads the hearts of Muslims to calm what torments them and ruins their prosperity. Where is the sense of honor of the Muslims? The pride of the Believers? The zeal of the Faithful? We shall never cease to be amazed at how the disbelievers for their part have shown trusts, and it is the Muslims who have been lacking in zeal. Not one of them has responded to the call. Not one intervenes to straighten what is distorted; but observe how far the Franks have gone. What unity they have achieved. What aims they pursue. What help they have given. What sums of money they have borrowed and spent. What wealth they have collected and distributed and divided amongst them. There is not a king left in their lands or islands, not a lord or a rich man who has not competed with his neighbors to produce more support and rival his peers in strenuous military efforts. In defense of their religion they consider it a small thing to spend life and soul; and they have kept their infidel brothers supplied with arms and champions of war; and all they have done and all their generosity has been done purely out of zeal for him they worship in jealous defense of their faith. The Muslims on the other hand are weakened and demoralized; they have become negligent and lazy, the victims of unproductive stupefaction and completely lacking in enthusiasm. If, Allah forbid, Islam should draw reign, obscure her splendor, blunt her sword there would be no one, east or west, far or near who would blaze the zeal for Allah's religion, or choose to come to the aid of Truth against Falsehood. This is the moment to cast off laziness, to summon from far and near all those men who have blood in their veins; but we are confident [He speaks about himself and the small party of believers who began with him and then became a large party]; but we are confident thanks to Allah- alhamdulillah- in the help that will come from him and entrust ourselves to him in sincerity of purpose and deepest devotion. InshaAllah, InshaAllah the disbelievers shall perish and the Faithful have a sure deliverance.

Kingdom of Heaven

Dah tengok?

Best wooo... aku tengok dua minggu lepas. Memula ingat nak pos awal, tapi xsempat. 'Makcik bz' [smile]...

Ada orang tengok sebab pelakon, dan ada yang tengok sebab memang minat kisah epik... tapi aku tengok sebab kawan ajak. Beria2 dia ajak... [dia memang minat cerita epik ni] aku pun ikut je la. Tapi memang tak sia2 la aku tengok.

Kisahnya berlatarbelakangkan zaman perang salib di mana Salahuddin Al-Ayubi nak menakluk kembali Jerusalem. Tapi tak banyak fokus kat Salahuddin dan orang Islam pun.. Dihighlightkan kisah seorang pemuda yang memimpin tentera Jerusalem utk berperang. Banyak konflik yang berlaku. Orang tak suka dia, kisah cinta, dsb...

Aku rasa ok aa citer ni.. tak berat sebelah... Heheh.. maner boleh berat sebelah, dah memang tercatat kat sejarah kisah keperwiraan Salahuddin Al-Alyubi ni. Buat malu je aa kalau reka sendiri. Tapi, kewujudan pemuda ni dalam sejarah, aku cam tak pernah tau lak. Pemuda yang gagah, merendah diri, dan tidak berkepentingan...hanya berperang utk agama dan negara Jerusalem.

Yang sedihnya, dan yang selalu berlaku, bila diorg ni sebut atau nak kisahkan pasal Islam, pasti ada yang tak betul disampaikan. Contohnya, di Jerusalem, orang Islam sembahyang berimam, tapi asing2, duduk jauh2... Dan satu lagi , Salahuddin baca Fatihah dalam sembahyang tak habis. Tau2 dah sadakalLah-al-'azim. Mende aa korang ni... bukan xde sumber...melambak..tapi masih camtu gak. Cerita ni ok la jugak... ada yang aku pernah tengok, dalam cerita Prince of Thieves, Morgan Freeman sembahyang atas sejadah, tapi buat cam orang sembahyang tokong... Huhu...

Hmm.. tu je aa komen aku. Terasa semangat lak bila tengok org Islam menang...
Yeah.. Membangun Bersama Islam...
