Because we value Tolerance

A young man once came to his Shaykh to ask for his help in choosing his wife who would be his life-partner.

The shaykh said "What are the qualities you want in your wife?"

He replied, "She has to be good looking, tall, with lustrous hair and a beautiful scent. She should cook delicious food and talk sweetly. Someone when I look at her, she pleases me, and when I am away, she safeguards herself in my absence. She should nnot disobey me, and I shouldn't have to fear her evil. She must also take pride in religion and enjoy wisdom."

The man continued to mention all the good qualities in women that he would like to see in that one woman.

When the Shaykh thought he had heard to much, he said to the man, "My son, I know a person who fits the description."

He replied "Where?"

The shaykh said "In Paradise, with the permission of Allah"

As for this world, be tolerance, and all the joy shall be yours..

Pros and Cons for Reduced Houseman Working Hours

Writer's note :
It took me hours to finish this one article! Its been awhile since I wrote about facts. I had to look up into many references, many other articles. Now I know that to be a good writer, I need to be a good reader. This one was wrote for I-Medic. Mainly about the status quo of medics in our country. As every other writings, hopefully readers can gain something from it.


Shocking news rocks the cradle of the medical world. 2011/08/02, The Malaysian Ministry of Health announce that work hours for houseman will be reduced significantly from 90hours/week to 54hours/week starting next September. According to Berita Harian, the action was based on a research carried out on 2009 where 67.3% of trainee doctors happen to be in the state of stress.
First, let us identify the possible sources of stress.

What stresses a houseman?

1. Work Hours
Mainly, it will be about heavy working hours.All HOs are required to work from 7am to 5pm. If they are oncall, the HO must stay in and spend the night until the next day at 5pm. So HOs need to work 34-40 hours straight. Imagine doing this in 2 years of housemanship. Stories about houseman giving up on their career are nothing strange.

2. Workloads
Not only that the work hours are heavy, work overload does not make life easier for houseman. The basic procedure may be less worrying but what really annoys houseman is actually the clerking work. Documenting time of admission, patient signs and symptoms, drug prescription, patient’s discharge and follow up. It seems most houseman spend more time typing than patient examining. No wonder patient says that most houseman only sit on their desk and do nothing.

3. Social Life
Work hours, workloads, and being oncall. Houseman enjoys limited social life and interactions. Maybe this is not the case in city hospitals where consultants keep on complaining on the fact that Houseman are too many. But in the outskirt of capitals, in Sabah and Sarawak mainly, imagine how less than 10 houseman operates in each department. Some job to be done there.

4. Others
Tagging, assessment, short breaks, patient’s incompliance, bad terms nurses, will just add to the misery.

Advantages and disadvantages
1. Stress Management
It is well understood by the public about the great challenges a HO face. Reduced work hours will help reduce stress for HOs. HOs are given more time to rest and recover. They will have a better state of body and mind to focus on their work and learn something new. Patients should expect better services from doctors. Hence, doctors now must rise to the occasion. Fulfill high expectations. All and all, a good news for medical students who fear of a stressful life.

2. Lack of training hours
It has been a mouth watering talking point that less working hours for houseman would mean less training hours. Medical officier, specialist, and consultants in the future will no longer have enough physical and mental strength to handle critical conditions when the need arise. Doctors will be less trustworthy. Nurses and patient will have hard times to be dealing with weak incompetent doctors. Every now and then we hear stressful doctors let it out on nurses and patients. However, since the time course of houseman training has been prolong from 1 year to 2 years, some will consider it to be less troublesome. Trainee doctors will still receive enough experience to give the best service to their patients.

3. Commitments
The most important thing about reduced work hours is that houseman can enjoy more free time. Nowadays, we do not only see doctors as a person who gives treatments, but also as a respected individual who plays a big part in contributing to the life of others. Doctors should not only focus on works in the hospital. Instead, they should be given more time and space to work for their religion, society and nation. They have families to be love. A husband to cook. A wife to pick up from work. Children who need to be send to school. It’s ironic to see a successful doctor as half of one's half, but on the other half, being a failure parent. We do not wish to see more children suffer from lack of care. Children need to be taught about the beauty of Islam, taught on how to read the Quran, taught to live their life as true muslims. The young represents the future. And as parents, doctors should not be hold back from their responsibilities to foster the generation of hope.

Lastly, let us not forget that reduced work hours for HOs reflects the increasing number of medical graduates each year. With reduced work hours, the public will be evermore encouraged to choose medicine as a course of study. Local medical schools in Malaysia, when fully functioning will produce 4000 doctors a year. Thousands more are being produced overseas as Malaysian are studying in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, India, Russia, Egypt, Jordan and more. Medical workforce is growing. Not so long now, we will reach the magical number of 100 Houseman per hospital. Overflooding with doctors, the medical world will be ever more competent. And at the same instance, the government and private sectors will have the power to choose between the best medical graduates out of the rest. Possibly, there will be a time when we see a medical graduate without being posted to any hospitals. So can we just stay relaxed and hope for the country to produce more hospitals, more outpatient clinics, hoping for more working opportunities? Or do we work harder to compete? Wake up doctors-to-be. Enough will all of the praising and respect you receive by families and friends around you. Wake and be a real doctor-to-be!

Belajar, Bekerja dan Mentarbhiah

Sesekali aku ke perpustakaan atau hadirkan diri ke dewan kuliah awal sebelum kuliah bermula, terlihatkan ramai daripada sahabat-sahabat sudahpun tekun membaca. Terasa kagum. Tetapi kadang-kala, terlintas juga, sedikit perasaan cemburu.. Aku yakin, mereka juga punya komitmen sendiri, tetapi sentiasa fokus dan bersemangat mengulangkaji. Aku pula selalu kehilangan tumpuan itu. Membahagikan masa sebagai seorang pelajar, wakil pelajar, dan tarbhiah bukanlah suatu perkara yang mudah. Keputusan, sedikit merosot. Dan bukanlah kemerosotan itu yang aku risaukan. Takut-takut terbawakan contoh yang kurang baik kepada rakan-rakan lain. Aku minta maaf kerana tidak sempurna. Walau keseimbangan yang aku kejar, jaraknya terasa masih jauh. Prinsip yang aku pegang selama ini bahawa akademik itu perlu diutamakan, kebelakangan ini kurang aku hormati. Tetapi, walaupun pencapaian menurun, mungkin buat kali pertamanya aku tidak terasa runsing. Tidak seperti dahulu yang selalu kemurungan dan menyalahkan diri atas kegagalan. Kerana aku yakin, bahawa segala yang aku rasa, yang aku belajar bersama sahabat-sahabat, sepanjang mentarbhiah diri, bekerja, berinteraksi, semua mempunyai manisnya yang tersendiri.

Baru-baru ini, apabila aku berkunjung ke rumah sahabat yang akan menduduki "reseat exam", belajar bersama, berkongsikan sedikit pengetahuan yang ada, dalam masa itu banyak perkara yang aku belajar. Setiap orang tidak mempunyai kemampuan yang sama. Kita manusia. Lebih atau kurang masing-masing istimewa atas diri sendiri. Aku selalu menganggap asal kita bekerja keras, maka segalanya akan tercapai. Semangat mengulangkaji pelajaran yang ada pada seseorang itu akan menentukan sama ada dia berdiri teguh mahupun terjatuh. Namun pengalaman ternyata membuktikan aku salah. Aku merasakan mereka berusaha jauh lebih keras berbanding orang lain. Azam yang jauh lebih tinggi daripada orang lain. Tetapi apa yang dihajatkan belum tercapai. Maka seganlah kita untuk tidak berusaha lebih. Mereka perlukan semangat, perlukan sedikit bimbingan, yang kita sebagai rakan sekuliah jarang dapat berikan. Selama aku dirumah, dihadapan meja belajar bertemankan buku-buku medik yang bertimbun, selesa, bersemangat mencari keputusan yang terbaik. Namun tidak pernah terfikirkan mereka yang kurang mampu belajar berseorangan. Apalah makna kejayaan, bila mana ada sahabat yang ketinggalan. Kesalnya bila aku memegang tugas barulah terfikirkan tentang mereka, sedangkan aku hanya perlu menjadi seorang sahabat untuk membantu.

Amanah tugas yang aku pegang kini tidak lagi terasa sebagai suatu beban. Malah, ia semakin menjadi satu kegembiraan buat aku. Apatah lagi melihatkan sahabat-sahabat lain mendapatkan keputusan-keputusan yang baik. Sejak di zaman sekolah terlalu banyak berkhidmat untuk diri sendiri. Tiba masanya untuk hidup memberi. Tetapi sekadar lisan, bukanlah mudah atas perbuatan. Usrah pula tempat aku pautkan hati. Tempat di mana aku terasa paling selesa dan tenang. Jauh daripada masalah-masalah harian. Belajar, bekerja dan mentarbhiah, kesemuanya seiringan.

Harapan menggunung, tetapi tidak semua perkara yang kita hajatkan akan tercapai. Kita berusaha, dan atas usaha itu kita mengharapkan yang terbaik. Atas segala kekangan masa, aku tersenyum. Kerana atas jalan ini hari demi hari aku peroleh kematangan dalam berfikir, menilai, dan membuat keputusan. Dan belajar, bekerja dan mentarbhiah itu sesuatu putaran yang tiada pernah henti. Hanya perlu lebih bijak membahagikan masa dan berusaha lebih. Jadi mengapa terasa letih? Mengapa perlu dikeluhkan? Setapak demi setapak kita ke depan. Menuju suatu matlamat yang lebih pasti..

85. Barangsiapa yang memberikan syafa'at yang baik, niscaya ia akan memperoleh bahagian (pahala) dari padanya. Dan barangsiapa memberi syafa'at yang buruk, niscaya ia akan memikul bahagian (dosa) dari padanya. Allah Maha Kuasa atas segala sesuatu.

86. Apabila kamu diberi penghormatan dengan sesuatu penghormatan, maka balaslah penghormatan itu dengan yang lebih baik dari padanya, atau balaslah penghormatan itu (dengan yang serupa). Sesungguhnya Allah memperhitungankan segala sesuatu.
Surah An-Nisa'

Relationship

I spend most of my holidays reading books. A part from them are the book entiltle "Aku Terima Nikahnya" by Ustaz Hasrizal Abbdul Jamil and "MEN Are from MARS WOMEN Are from VENUS" by Dr John Gray. I learned a lot. I know. Some of the content are still early for me to digest. But I believe theres nothing wrong in preparing oneself early to face the coming big day of our lives, marriage. Eventually, one will know when he is prepared according to his circumstances. And eventually, one will have to choose someone, to share and be part of his life. The success of a marriage is influenced by an throughout understanding about resonsibilities and feelings towards one another. But the more crucial stage depends on the preparation of oneself to face a marriage and choosing the right one. Tough I must admit the only setback in reading the book is your mind will start wandering around about the subject and it's gonna last quite sometime. The thought might be temporary but the mindset last forever.
























Its not hard to see why most of our teenagers or young adults get the wrong idea about relationship. And it's not really about they do not know that their doings are wrong. Its just that they let it be. Staying ignorant of their sins and have fun with the one they seems to like. Most teengers and undergraduates values looks over personalities. And why not if its only for a short period with she or he. Temporary entertainment it would seem. One that wil last so seldom. To feel better when they are lonely. In the end, for whats worth they will look for somebody nice and steadfast on Islam to marry instead.

I have a friend of mine. An ordinary person with little exposure to know about Islam. And yes the person experienced crushes and dates. Like walking, having lunch and watching a movie together. Those were high school life where a teenager are at their most intriging behavior. The period where parents should pay their most intention towards their children development in my opinion. Of course, after finishing school life is different. Studying as an undergraduate at UiTM now, not so long ago we had a little chat on yahoo messanger. At first it was all about hows life is going on campus, and later the talk about relationship made its entry to the frame. My friend needed counseling wandering if there will ever be someone who would guide, and show the way to understanding Islam. How hard it is in the person's place to meet with such person.

From what I learned from the conversation, everyone is faithful to have a guiding partner who knows, wants and able to perform Islam as the way of life. I will say to find the right person mention is only half of the challenge. To be the person that someone will want to marry is the hardest part.

Wanita-wanita yang keji adalah untuk laki-laki yang keji, dan laki-laki yang keji adalah buat wanita-wanita yang keji (pula), dan wanita-wanita yang baik adalah untuk laki-laki yang baik dan laki-laki yang baik adalah untuk wanita-wanita yang baik (pula). An-Nur ayat 26

Some of us after hearing this verse feels discourage. To say that they do not belong to that group of people and thus do not deserve to be with kind loving individuals. Take it as a motivation. With enough courage, one can always change his ways. I always believed that everybody have that feeling to be a better person. Its just a matter of support and motivation. For the best towards his friends and family. And most importantly, towards enslaving himself.

To reflect it upon another situation. When two person who is looking to improve themselve and finding someone kind with strong belief towards Islam happens to meet one another. Both believe they have found the right person. But sadly, due to lack of understanding perhaps, both who are trying so hard seems to stray away from their path. Mistakenly without notice, the intention are goods, but directed to win the heart of someone and not properly directing the intention to Allah.

Of course from all the thing I say, everything is directed back towards me. I myself, is trying to improve my understanding towards this beautiful religion and keep clean of my everyday deeds. And of course, somehow hoping for the right person. But as for the time being, personally, I believe that this is not truly the time to be thinking about relationship. Take this writing as something to ponder. Something that should be reminded from time to time. For we should not lose our focus in what we should truly concentrate on. The time will come insyaAllah. Maybe in the near future or maybe so distantly. Allah knows best. And until that day, hopefully and faithfully, we hope to be a better person each day. Amin....

What is being different all about?

Had just reached my 20th birthday.
Finally past my teens and reaching adulthood..
InsyaAllah, hopefully to be more matured in the way I think, the way I solve my everyday problems, to make wiser choices, to be more calm in the way I act, and most importantly, to fulfill my responsibilities as a servant to Allah, a son, a little brother, a big brother, a student, a friend more truely..

One of the best aspect for my birthday was that I receive birthday wishes from variety of friends.. Some from friends that I didn't keep in touch for awhile.. Old friends, and new friends..

Bringing me to realize that to have met many people from different races, different standards, different talents, different way of thinking and behavior truely is a blessing from Allah.. Learning something new from each of them..

We may not born with the same characteristic, the same attributes, the same personal backgrounds.. Contrasting in all sort of ways..
But to think that we were able to know and understand each other, working together, studying together, leading a organization together, playing together.. For every laughter, every sorrow, every achievements, every downfalls.. Everything, was always a privelage.. One that we are called to benefit from.. Cause that is what life is.. To grow and learned from each other.. To share specialties and shortcomings.. That is what being different is all about..

For all my ups and downs in lifes, I will always recall that I have great friends and great supports..
This much.. I say Thank You.. ^_^

“Wahai manusia, sesungguhnya Kami menciptakan kamu daripada seorang laki-laki dan seorang perempuan dan menjadikan kamu berbangsa - bangsa dan bersuku-suku supaya kamu saling kenal-mengenal. Sesungguhnya orang yang paling mulia di antara kamu di sisi Allah ialah orang yang paling bertaqwa diantara kamu. Sesungguhnya Allah Maha Mengetahui lagi Maha Mengenal.” (Al-Hujurat : 13)

“Sesungguhnya kamu benar-benar dalam keadaan berbeza pendapat.” (Adz-Zariyat : 8)

Penulis

Sekadar berkongsi tentang penerapan yang aku dapati dalam diri seorang penulis..

Seorang pujangga pernah berkata bahawa orang yang menyampaikan ilmu akan mencapai kehidupan abadi. Mungkin ia membawa maksud sesuatu pengetahuan itu akan sentiasa hidup dan bergerak di muka bumi ini walau pun penyampainya telah lama tiada sepertimana yang kita ketahui..

Bagi aku, penulis sama seperti sebuah periuk yang sentiasa terbuka untuk mencari isi dan kemudian ditambahnya ramuan untuk menjadikan gulai tersebut sedap untuk dimakan bersama. Aku rasa begitulah seorang penulis yang sentiasa peka dalam meneliti keadaan sekelilingnya untuk mencakupi sebarang pergerakan yang boleh dijadikan ilham untuk ditulis dan disampaikan..

Aku yakin, penulis yang baik akan mempunyai mata hati yang baik serta menyampaikan perkara yang baik dengan penuh keikhlasan untuk tatapan sidang pembacanya.. Amanah menjadi penulis juga sebenarnya besar kerana sekiranya tersalah dalam penyampaian, maka dialah yang bakal menerima akibatnya kelak.

Seorang penulis menghayati apa yang ditulisnya. Dia meletakkan perasaan ke dalam tulisan. Mampu tergelak mahupun menangis dengan hasil tulisannya sendiri.. Dirinya tersentuh sebelum dia menyentuh. Terhibur sebelum dia menghiburkan. Menulis dari pengalaman. Dari melihat, mendengar, dan berbual dengan orang lain. Dari pergaulan dengan pelbagai-bagai jenis orang dan memahami sasaran pembaca.. Kadang-kadang penulisan x perlu terlalu berat.. X perlu terlalu panjang.. "Simple".. Tapi impaknya mendalam

Apapun bagi aku, penulis merupakan ahli seni yang ingin menyampaikan karyanya kepada umum atas sebab yang penulis itu sendiri tahu. Setiap karya yang dihasilkan adalah umpama calitan-calitan berus warna yang dilukiskan di atas hamparan kertas putih dengan nilai estikanya yang tersendiri. Dia juga mendalami kehidupan dan percaya yang setiap karyanya mempunyai nyawanya yang tersendiri..

Penulisan merupakan satu terapi yang baik untuk melepaskan rasa hati secara senyap tanpa melepaskannya pada orang perseorangan.. Di luar kehidupan, penulis akan sentiasa peka kepada sesuatu isu dan akan dapat membantu sesiapa juga yang memerlukan pertolongannya dan ilmu yang ada dalam diri seorang penulis itu akan menjadikan dirinya seorang yang tenang..

Aku ingin terus menulis. Selagi mana aku masih dapat memberi motivasi dan pengajaran dalam bentuk yang dapat menyentuh bila-bila ada masa terluang dan ada sesuatu yang hendak disampaikan. Berharap aku dapat menghasilkan penulisan yang lebih baik dalam masa yang akan datang InsyaAllah..

TO NOT LEARN

LUASNYA ILMU ALLAH TIDAK TERHINGGA
Al Kahfi Ayat 109
Katakanlah: Sekiranya lautan menjadi tinta untuk (menulis) kalimat-kalimat Tuhanku, sungguh habislah lautan itu sebelum habis (ditulis) kalimat-kalimat Tuhanku, meskipun Kami datangkan tambahan sebanyak itu (pula)."


Target : 1 year to speak fluently, to write beautifully, to read and understand throughtly (before practical year). Still can't imagine how Im gonna take medical history, giving patient health advises in Arabic. Note that, this is not the only reason to learn. Learn it because it is the language of Quran, language of Jannah
Current level : On the verge on reaching level 2
