Ramadan And The Qur'an

"Ramadan is the (month) in which the Qur'an was sent down, as a guide to mankind, also clear (Signs) for guidance and judgment (Between right and wrong). So every one of you who is present (at his home) during that month should spend it in fasting…" Holy Qur'an (2:185).


And we have indeed made the Quran easy to understand and remember, then is there any one who will remember (or receive admonition)- Holy Quran 54:17

Petrol Price

Even though United States have closed its oil production in the Gulf of Mexico (due to Gustav hurricane), AFP reported that the petrol price has dived under 105 dollars on Tuesday, for the first time since April.

Hopefully it will soon sink the threshold of the 100 dollars.

Ceritera Dari Benua

“The prize-winning image: Kevin Carter Starving Child
in southern Sudan, March 1, 1993.

sang hering raja
penuh tekun menunggu
sedang mangsanya
masih lagi bernyawa
merangkak menjejak pengalas perut


di kejauhan
kelibat sang pencabut nyawa
seakan menghampiri


sang hering memerhati
bakal santapannya
cuba mengerah
saki baki kudrat
untuk mara selangkah


andai mentari terus memancar sinar
dan anak kecil di hadapannya
lemas dijerut kebuluran
ditenggelami kemarau panjang
sang hering raja
bakal mengembangkan sayapnya
tanda kematian telah menjelma
dan mayat seorang anak
akan menjadi santapannya
