half of my heart won't do


i love john mayer's songs despite the douche that he is.
and he's gonna perform in wellington tomorrow.
and i am not gonna be there to see him in person.
and i am frustrated.like extremely disappointed.
why didnt i get the tix?
money is not the main issue. i dont mind forking out money to watch him(punyela die hard fan sampai begitu skali)
it's a once in a lifetime opportunity kot.
friends to bring along...?
i do know some close friends who just need a little push to come with me.
but i didnt push them that hard.

you know why?
because i feel guilty.
and what i've learned from joining usrah is:
jika ada getaran jiwa or jika ada rasa terdetik di hati tu bila nk buat sesuatu tu, maknanya something wrongla.benda tu salah or lebih jelas lg, x diredhai Allah.
or something like that.
Ok i x reti nk explain further. sbb tu x layak jd kakak usrah. kak sarah,tlg explain.haha

nway,
the guilt is preventing me from goin there.
truth to be told, that was the first time i ever had the desire to buy a concert ticket.
it's gonna be my first concert ever.
before this pernahla tgk KRU punye roadshow, Kaer AF2 la pela ..haha
lame??i know
i was 16 at that time.go figure.
tapi nk tgk kaer punye pasal, sampai terlepas solat asar, sedar2 dh magrib
tu belum lg part berebut2 nk salam kaer la,vince la, tp time reshmonu hulur tangan tahu pule x baik salam bukan muhrim..isk3.dhla jahil,racist pule tu.haih.
see, that's exactly why going to a concert is not such a good idea.
you eventually, will forget God along the way.
melalaikan katanye.

and that brings us to what I've learned during usrah last week;
Hadis 6: Halal dan Haram
Maksudnya:

“Dari Abu Abdullah An-Nu’man bin Basyir r.a. katanya : saya telah mendengar Rasulullah SAW bersabda : ‘ Sesungguhnya yang halal itu jelas dan yang haram itu jekas , dan di antara keduanya pula terdapat perkara-perkara yang syubahat ( tidak terang halal atau haramnya ) yang diragui dan tiada diketahui oleh orang ramai. Orang yang memelihara dirinya dari perkara-perkara yang syubahat itu adalah seperti orang yang melindungi agama dan kehormatan dirinya. Orang yang tergelincir ke dalam perkara syubahat itu akan tergelincir masuk ke dalam perkara haram. Laksana seorang pengembala di pinggir sebuah tempat larangan. Hampir sangat ia menternak ke dalamnya (tempat larangan itu). Ketahuilah, bagi setiap raja ada tempat larangan, dan tempat larangan Allah itu adalah perkara-perkara yang diharamkanNya. Dan ketahuilah pada setiap jasad itu seketul daging. Andainya ia baik, baiklah seluruh jasad itu dan sekiranya ia rosak maka rosaklah seluruh jasad itu. Itulah hati" -riwayat Bukhari & Muslim-


apa yang jelas halal?
ayam kat halal butcher?minum susu?
menutup aurat?bekerja sebagai seorang guru?solat 5 waktu?etc


apa pula yang haram?
minum arak. berzina. rasuah. jadi bartender. bersentuhan bukan muhrim dan sebagainya.

Perkara halal dan haram yang sudah jelas termaktub dalam Al Qur’an dan Sunnah tidak boleh dipertikaikan lagi. Sami’na wa ato’na…

Halal dan haram itu merangkumi aspek makan minum, pakaian,pekerjaan, muamalah dan segala aspek kehidupan.


and..what about going to concerts?

apa yg lagi dekat?

tho xdela wujud ayat Quran yg ckp diharamkan pergi ke concert abg John Mayer,

kite bole figure out sendiri kan?

apa yg ada time concert?

arak.definitely.

bercampur gaul berlainan jantina.duh

maka,haruslah dielakkan daripada melakukan perkara2 syubhah yg akan mendekatkn diri dgn perkara2 yg haram.

i do hope that i wont regret my decision of not seeing abang mayer live in person.

the euphoric sensation wont last long, God's blessing is eternal.


yes,indeed i am trying to console myself.

i am no goody two shoes.

i am still extremely jealous of those who gonna meet him tomorrow.

am not gonna lie here.

to quote from abg mayer himself (from one of my fav song,Half of My Heart)

half of my heart got a grip on the situation

half of my heart takes time


forgive me for writing this post in this utter rubbish rojak.

the mind is in chaos lately.

all i can say is this sha: if u purposely didnt go to the concert because of Allah (no matter how tempting it is), Allah will repay you with a far more better reward unimaginable afterward insyaAllah, and you'll be glad dat u've made the right decision after all. That much I am sure of. =))

salam dear.

i like what sarah said above.

to be honest, i have some kepala-senget-to-show-disagreement moments with your guilt:

1. true, there might be alcohol at concerts... or even drugs, for that matter... but usually these happen at rock concerts, and at clubs. mayer's music is kinda too mellow to get wasted/high at i think.

2. a large majority of mayer's audience there were most probably female, because well, that's his fan population. so the issue of laki-pompuan bersentuh i think may not be that prevalent there.

HOWEVER, i do agree with these:
kalau hati terdetik kata sthg's weird, most likely sthg's just not right. sometimes following your instincts is the safest way to decide on a course of action. also, i understand+agree about you not wanting to go because it's, well, melalaikan. it's not exactly going to make you a better person.

i hope things are well now dear :)
