SEminar Sistem Islam (SESI 2011)..the aftermath.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحَيْمِ

Assalamualaikum wbt.

Moga sentiasa dlm rahmatNya, insyaAllah.

Just my thoughts on the recent program we had, SESI..(let's just cut the formality shall we?)

sape2 yg x pegi memang rugi, hehe, tp nk buat camne kn? Allah dh tetapkan siapa yg pegi n siapa yg x, n same applies here, Allah la yg tetapkan yg saya nk sharekan ape yg dh dpt kat SESI weekend baru2 ni...tho i did not make as much notes as i usually do, but i really2 LOVE this seminar! (Kudos to the SESI 2011 team!)

there were 4 sessions, and each one caught my heart's attention in their own way..so here goes:

Session 1 - Sistem Islam dalam kehidupan Muslim (Hj Shamsul Ma'arif Hj Ismail)

• talk ni caught my attention sbb its very2 close to our life, i mean ye la, tajuk pun dlm kehidupan muslim kan? so senang nk tgk praktikalitinya whenever he explains it.
• as an overall, he simply wants to say that Islam is our DEEN, the way of life. its not like any other typical religion, that separates ibadah n non-ibadah (i.e. islam is not particle yg membahagikan life in juzuk2, separating daily life with ibadah).. Islam is DEEN, sistem kehidupan yg lengkap. its obvious kan islam ni menyeluruh, islam ni syumul, sbb kalau tgk dlm kehidupan rasulullah s.a.w sendiri, he practice islam every single breath he took! (kalau x sure pasal ni boleh la baca sirah nabawiyah, by mustafa sibaie, best2!)
• the things that really2 caught my heart :
  

"islam perlukan org beriman utk memenangkan islam, eventho mmg islam agama yg benar dan akan menang pun" - ini sunatullahnya, so kita kene la bersiapkan diri utk jadi org yg betul2 beriman!

"Islam adalah manhaj kehidupan yg paling selamat & membawa penyelesaian kpd semua masalah" - fuh, ini cool! with islam everything can be solved? how awesome is that?

• Deen = Dunia + Akhirat = ujian + external life = awesome equation!

Session 2 - Sistem Ekonomi : Dinar & Dirham, dimana kekuatan dan praktikalitinya? (Zulkifli Hasan)

• ok this session is super duper best! coz its economics! one of my fav subject back then in highschool (dan paper paling senang dlm spm)...but not just that, this talk is very2 informative! rasa mcm banyakkknyeee current issues xtahu, huhu..hence kene banyak membaca ye rakan2!!
• oleh kerana xtulis note pun time session ni (sebab fascinated sgt dgn presentation yg best n he did present it like a bullet train), so xberapa bnyk la yg boleh sye ulaskan kat sini..tapi jisnya, mmg sistem ekonomi islam la yg terbaik!!! sbb mmg sistem ekonomi islam je yg adil kat dunia ni (of coz, Allah yg cipta, mesti la paling adil, paling terbaik)..teringat masa SPM dulu, cikgu tuition tu dia hindu, tp dia sendiri sgt suka sistem ekonomi islam, n if i remember correct, dia sendiri harapkan satu dunia ikut sistem ekonomi islam..subhanallah, terbaik x cikgu ni? (cikgu jeya mmg best!)
  
• after this talk mmg rasa ilmu pengetahuan sye sgt2 la cetek, asyik dok baca lecture notes engineering je, mmg la xberpengetahuan luas (zzaaassss) hence, lets do more reading ppl.. not just economics, but semua sistem islam!!!

Session 3 - Sistem Social (Dr Najibah Mohd Zain)

• talk session ni pun xkurang bestnya! bila dgr talk ni, rasa mcm aaaa, corruptednya society kitaaaa T_T realiti umat sekarang sgt2lah menakutkan..again, sistem social yg paling2 terbaik, sistem social yg digariskan dlm islam..nothing else! aqidah sbg paksi utama, sbg teras kehidupan..cube fikir, knape society kita corrupt sgt ni? sbb aqidah x sejahtera laa (miwasafat tarbiyah ranking pertama dlm list tuu, hehe) so, kalau aqidah xsettle lagi camne?? kene sgt2 tanamakan kekuatan aqidah dlm individu, so pembentukan individu tu sgt2 crucial!! kalau nk relate dgn maratib amal, individu muslim is the lowest step..n kalau nk relate dgn Maslow theory hierarchy of needs (cewah, apply economics kat sini ^_^) kita xleh pegi next level until kita dah fulfil level bawah sekali, hence sama la, maratib amal ni, selagi x bina individu muslim yg sejahtera aqidahnya (dan lain2 muwasafat tarbiyah) , jgn nk mimpi laa ada sistem social yg sejahtera, ape lagi nk mimpi ustaziatul alam tu..
• hence, kita smua kene bertanggungjawab dlm msykt, kene jaga nafsu, xbuat perkara yg boleh mbawa kpd kebinasaan...

Session 4: Sistem Politik (Syahrul Hidayat a.k.a pak syah)

• sye secara jujurnya, xleh nk ulas panjang2 yg ni (atas sebab2 tertentu hehe) tp, mgg best la talk ni..(aaa semua pun beeesssttt) susah skit sbenarnye nk faham bahasa indonesia ni, so language barrier is one of the reason sye xfhm sgt (nasib baik slides were in english, so in a way dpt la ape dia nk ckp) he was talking about sistem khalifah, and all those stuff..he did mention abt the weakening n declining of sistem khalifah, it happened masa zaman turki jatuh tu kan 3Mac1924, sebabnye?? sebab orang islam lemah! senang2 je sekularism mengasai over sistem khalifah?? what is this?!! (sorry emo kejap) anyhow, everything goes back to us la, bila kita lemah, xyah la nk berangan ada sistem politik yg ideal (i.e sistem khalifah)

ok, rasanye dh tulis panjang ni, just nk simpulkan yg kita ni umat islam, kene bukak mata skit, kene sedar diri yg ummah sgt2 memerlukan kita utk bangkit semula. kalau bukan kita, siapa? cuba try fikir balik, kenapa sye join jalan dakwah n tarbiyah ni? cube check balik, mutaba'ah amal, cube check balik hubungan dgn Allah, check2 semua ni.. this phrase really got me "keimanan juga ketaqwaan, rahsia mereka capai kejayaan"-lagu adakah kau lupa..

so, fikir2 kan lah ye, apa yg patut kita buat utk contribute to this ummah..igt, our mission doesn't stop here, ending kita kat akhirat, so ape2 kita buat kat dunia ni ada saham kat akhirat nnt... so, kalau nk sejahtera dunia akhirat, all goes back to sistem islam. the ultimate sistem , insyaAllah.

moga bermanfaat.

selamat beramal.
