Zulkarnain - yang benar pasti menang

Yakjuj makjuj - pertembungan dengan kebatilan

Zulkarnain was given tools to get everything i.e. Ilmu,harta, human resource besides power

Kuasa milik Allah
Bagi yang dizalimi, mampu rasa berani untuk menegakkan sesuatu yang hak
Allah berhak beri dan tarik kuasa yang diberikan kepada sesiapa sahaja
Should carry the responsibility, not take the job easy as it would be questioned in Hereafter

Power is needed to differentiate between syiah and sunni. Syiah started during khulafa ar rasyidin term. One of the group questioned on why abu bakar succeed the position as the chief minister instead of ali who is the prophet's cousin. Syiah thought that power was supposed to be inherited as it is considered a privelege. This contradicts what the prophet has believed. Power should not be a privelege, and it should not be thought as an easy subject.

The first journey of Zulkarnain to the west and he met a colony which were not yet believing in Allah. Allah asked Zulkarnain what action would he put on them, either treating them nicely or punishing.

Zulkarnain wanted to treat them based on thier actions. If they are doing good deeds, they will be given merit. Vice versa.

Munkar dan nukra
From Allah view and human view
Nukra 74 from human view, its bad. But it's not bad in Allah view
Nukra 87 from Allah view, its a fine thing.

Trip to the east
Meet poor colony, without protection

None should investigate too deeply about this story as the information about this is limited. ALLAH limits it and only Allah knows everything.

Journey no 3
Kaum belakang gunung,x paham bahasa masing2
Yakjuj makjuk golongan manusia yang membuat kerosakan di bumi
Contoh
Keruntuhan kerajaan abasiyyan
Buang buku sampai river jadi hitam dek ink
Lenyapkan tamadun

Kaum belakang gunung
Duduk tempat bahaya sebab yakjuj makjuj
Pemalas sebab sanggup bagi upah untuk buat perlindungan untuk mereka

Zulkarnain ajak mereka untuk merajinkan diri melindungi diri mereka sendiri

Dinding itu rahmat dari Allah
Not my own power

Nasi biryani

Tell me how your tummy sings. Does the song sound like Taylor Swift? Justin Bieber? or maybe Siti Nurhaliza? Haha. My tummy sang an emo song as I was a bit emotionally unstable. After performed Maghrib prayer, I went down to the kitchen and started slicing spring onions. To cook what? Yeay, chicken biryani. Actually, I was browsing something to order from justeat.co.uk. But, I changed my mind. I wanted to cook to release tension. Indeed, it helped!

A big onion spring was cut into half and sliced into small pieces. Same bits went to garlic, ginger and chilies. All were fried together with star anise, cardamom and clover until fragrant. Remember I made ayam masak merah for nasi minyak last two days? There were some sambal left, so I actually fried the biryani foundation in the same wok. #reduce the kitchen waste. I added some chicken pieces, 1/3 packet of biryani powder, three spoonful of chili powder, and a spoonful of meat curry powder. Then, pour some milk and simmer the mixture until fragrant. The cooked mixture was added into the rice cooker. Make sure to pour extra water for well steamed rice. The water level is not going to be the same with steaming a normal white rice because for this biryani, some water will be used for cooking the chicken.

For salad, two tomatoes and half length of cucumber were cut into small cubes and lemon and sugar juice were added later. To add the crunchiness, mix together fried nan bread into the salad. Serve the salad freshly next to the cooked biryani rice.

My tummy is now full #Alhamdulillah... and I suppose to get ready on my assignment. Yosh! Bismillah...
