"Superficial."
"Doesn't save lives."

Those are some of the most common response I've heard when people are talking about plastic surgeons.. It's like they all are concerned only with the superficial stuffs like giving breast enlargements, nose jobs, facial reconstructive surgeries, liposuction, face lifts, botox etc.. That's what makes them somewhat less humane and having less ethics compared to doctors from other specialization..
They drive a Mercedes S-Class.. True.. They practically live in paradise.. True.. But do those things make them somewhat eligible to the accusations people are making?
Despite of not having to complete a four-years course to become a general surgeon, they are actually 'real' doctors.. They finished 5 or 6 (or more) years of medical school.. They had to undergo the painful two-years phase of serving as a houseman and (at least) another two years as a medical officer in government hospitals.. In a nutshell, they do know how to manage patients and 'save lives'..
Being a plastic surgeon, is not as superficial as we think it is.. It's mainly because most of us are confused with the term 'cosmetic surgery', which is a branch of plastic surgery..
Cosmetic surgery concerns with the procedure of improving the appearance of a part of the body, e.g. the shape of the nose or the size of the breasts. Meanwhile, plastic surgery is defined as a surgery to repair damaged tissue. It is the branch of surgery that is concerned with repairing especially external damage to the body, remedying impairments, or improving a person's appearance.
And that includes several medical cases that really require some skills and efforts as a doctor, and are not at all SUPERFICIAL.. For instance:
Patients with cleft lip & palate..
Patient with periauricular tag..
Patient with anotia (absence of external ear)
Burn victims..

Now see the importance?

Although some might say that being a plastic surgeon doesn't save much lives, they do in fact, contribute a huge role in improving patients lives physically and emotionally..
Thus, it is very wrong to assume that plastic surgeons are useless and concerned only with the superficial part of patients' body.. Contrary to the popular beliefs, plastic surgeons, if they know how to tell right and wrong, can also be a good muslim and contribute to the ummah like any other doctors..
Shift your paradigm, you'll change the world! ;)

"Sebab nak lebih mendalami kebesaran Tuhan melalui sistem tubuh manusia.."
Biasanya begitulah jawapannya apabila kita tanya pelajar-pelajar lepasan SPM mengapa mereka nak ambik medic.. Namun bagi pelajar-pelajar yang telahpun beberapa tahun berada di fakulti perubatan seperti kami, kesedaran itu jarang-jarang sekali datang.. Bukan kerana tidak sedar atau tidak tahu.. Tetapi seringkali lupa.. Sedangkan peringatan sudahbanyak kali setiap hari diberikan menerusi buku-buku/atlas-atlas yang ditatap hampir 10 jam sehari..
Baru-baru ini setelah saya berjaya ke tahun ke-5 (atau tahun 4 perubatan) di universiti al-Azhar, kesedaran itu datang tiba-tiba.. Bila melihat patient yang dijemput ke bilik-bilik kuliah yang mengalami pelbagai masalah.. Dari cataract, trichiasis, squint dan sebagainya..
Terasa diri kurang bersyukur bila mengenangkan bulu-bulu mata kita tersusun rapi sejak lahir hinggalah sekarang.. Tidak seperti patient yang menghidapi trichiasis, iaitu satu keadaan di mana bulu mata tumbuh secara tidak normal lalu bergesel dengan mata menyebabkan mata merah, berair dan ulser bila dibiar lama-lama..
Terasa gerun juga kerana maksiat yang kita lakukan setiap hari tidak dibalas dengan keputihan pada kanta mata yang disebut cataract.. Terasa bersyukur kerana ujub dan takabbur pada keelokan paras wajah kita tidak dibalas dengan squint atau juling secara tiba-tiba.. Sedangkan kalau Allah mahu, sekelip mata sahaja Allah boleh beri..

Tak sangka, benda sekecil bulu mata pun boleh menjadi bala jika dikehendaki Tuhan..

Rupa-rupanya terlalu banyak nikmat Allah jika hendak dihitung.. Biasalah, nikmat yang dikecap baru terasa apabila hilang.. Moga kita sama-sama duduk bermuhasabah diri dan nikmat yang diberi.. Jangan jadi hamba yang tidak bersyukur..

Pada suatu hari,seorang ulama menaiki kapal terbang kerana urusan kerjanya. Setibanya waktu solat,Dia pun masuk ke dalam tandas untuk mengambil wuduk.Tetapi tandas itu terlalu kecil, jadi dia terpaksa membuka pintu tandas tersebut, tetapi diperasan oleh seorang pramugari.
Pramugari: Pak cik tak boleh buat begitu kerana nanti sinki kotor.
Ulamak : Berapa kali saudari mencuci muka sehari?
Pramugari: Biasanya dua atau tiga kali sehari.
Ulamak : Saya mencuci kaki saya lima kali sehari.Ini bermakna kaki saya lebih bersih daripada muka saudari.
Have you ever heard or read about this story? I'm sure most of u have, as it is posted in many blogs as well as forums... Most of the readers are amused with this story and think that the so-called ulamak is being right for saying so..
But many of them failed to realize these facts:
Fact #1:
Human's feet, even when washed tens of times, are still less hygienic than their faces.. It's because there are still more bacterias and fungi which can be found there (which cannot be easily removed by merely washing your feet) compared to those in human's faces..
One of the famous one is called Athlete's foot (tinea pedis) which is a fungal infection of the skin that causes scaling, flaking, and itching of affected areas. It is typically transmitted in moist areas where people walk barefoot, such as showers or bathhouses. Although the condition typically affects the feet, it can spread to other areas of the body, including the groin.
So, washing one's foot inside the wash basin is totally unhygienic, because Athlete's Foot is a communicable disease, which can affect the next person using the very same wash basin.. I'm sure Islam doesn't encourage that now, does it?
Athlete's foot affecting areas between toes
Fact #2
Islam prohibits it's followers to break any rules, regulations and laws, even the simple ones.. And this includes washing feet in wash basin when clearly stated so (by the stewardess, in this case)..
Fact #3
Islam does not allow it's followers, no matter how pious they are, to belittle other people in any way possible, even when he/she is only a steward/stewardess (who is always seen as having 'less' religious beliefs..)
The so-called ulamak's behaviour when stating that his feet is more hygienic than her face is definitely an offensive statement, which Islam could not tolerate..
Remember what the Quran says in surah Taha verse 44 when Allah asks Moses to go to Firaun asking him to believe in God with the most welcoming behavior possible.. Not in an offensive way.. But one thing to remember is that, Firaun is the meanest person at that time.. But still, God does not allow Moses to be rude and offensive to him..
Now if that's the behavior one is supposed to behave with to Firaun, can you imagine what are the manners we're supposed to show when interacting with an ordinary stewardess during dakwah?

How time flies~ This is actually my 100th post in this blog..
(Technically, there's more.. But i enjoy deleting posts that i think aren't suitable.. or 'poyo'..hehe)
Just so u know, i've been writing since 15th April 2007..
It's been what.. 2 and a half years now?
It's all started with my comparative-religion blog..
(which can still be accessed here)
Then after several months, i made a tazkirah-based blog called E-zikra.. From which this blog continues.. And from which i got the idea to write my book 'Himpunan 25 Tazkirah' which was published by PERUBATAN in 2007
Then i made a new blog www.galerisenikhat.blogspot.com to put some Arabic calligraphy arts early in February 2008..
But in May 2009, i decided not to restrict my writings according to the theme (Comparative religion, Tazkirah, Khat etc).. I just wanna write freely, like others do.. So i combined my E-Zikra with my Arabic Calligraphy blogs..
The 1st theme after i combined the blogs was Euphoria.. But then i changed it to Paradigm Shift, because most of my posts don't reflect to the word 'Euphoria' which literally means extreme happiness.. ^_^

And of course it was during the exam period, when my hormone for writing (if there's any) was raging! hehehe
I know it's not as much as Saifulislam's blog, or RamisahAini's blog, or Warouq's blog..
But i'm thankful enough to be given this golden opportunity
(^_^)
Thank u God n thank u all for supporting this blog..
For the last 10 days, i've been correcting at least 25 people personally in Facebook.com alone, on how they misspelled the word 'Tarawikh', which is supposed to be 'Tarawih', with the letter 'ha' instead of 'kha'.. And most of them didn't even know the correct pronunciation (not pronounciation) of that word.. [I wonder how they recite the Niat before takbiratul ihram..]
The funny thing is that, i managed to see how people reacted to me correcting their spellings..
Some of them accepted it gratefully, "Oh, iye ke? Thank u!"
Some of them have doubts, "Ye ke? Bukannye..."
Some of them even said that it's just a typo, i.e. unintentionally..
And the best reaction i've got so far is, "Tahuu.. Saje je malas nak betulkan..."
(Yeah,right!~)
********
One more thing that bothers me is how-people-use-the-dash-symbols-like-this-to-write-several-unrelated-adjectives-in-a-sentence.. It has a specific function, people.. Not to be used freely..
********
But one downside of being a 'grammar police' is that, people would think of u as a holier-than-thou person who likes belittling other people, when we actually have the purest intentions to make them better people, grammatically.. sigh~
********
Lastly,
selamat berterawikh, selamat bersakhur, selamat solat subukh dan selamat solat zokhor!

Let me firstly admit that i'm not very good at politics.. in fact, my knowledge about politic is nearly ZERO.. But somehow i feel very uncomfortable reading this news @ Malaysiakini.. Check it out:
I mean, what has our Muslim community become? Are they out of their minds? What happened to the fact that Islam is a religion of tolerance? What if the same thing happened to us Muslims in the US for instance.. What if the local Americans did the same thing, i.e. protesting against mosque to be built near their neighborhood for the fact that majority of that particular area are Christians?
I wanna know what you guys think about this issue though.. In case i misunderstood the situation.. pls leave comments~ thank u
This is one shocking video inside a Chinese Fur Farm..
These 'animals' would do anything for money.. God damn them to hell~
Viewers discretion is advised.. Don't say i didn't warn u~
When u googled "Samiri" at www.images.google.com, u will certainly find tens to hundreds of the same picture as shown above.. But the funny thing is, they all have different captions.. These are some of the captions that i managed to find so far:-
*************
"Patung Anak Lembu Samiri"
"Lembu Samiri di Bukit Nabi Musa St. Catherine"
"Lembu Samiri"
"Belakang tu ukiran lembu samiri"
"Gambar Lembu Samiri"
"Kesan tinggalan Lembu Samiri"
"Kesan patung emas samiri"
"Anak lembu emas Samiri"
"Lembu yang dibuat oleh samiri"
"Patung Lembu Samiri"
"Patung Samiri"
*******************
So the question is, is that thing really "Patung lembu Samiri"?
Or should i ask first, who was Samiri?
Was he the calf himself?
Or was he the person who made the calf?
What actually happened to the calf that Samiri made from Bani Israil's ornaments?
As far as i know, this is what the Quran says:
(Moses said to Samiri) "And look at your god to whose worship you kept (so long); we will certainly burn it, then we will certainly scatter it a (wide) scattering in the sea. "
[Tahaa 97]
********
So when the Quran itself says that the body of the calf that had mooing sound is burnt and scattered in the sea, why is the calf still there on the mountain? And the most important question is, why are those people still referring it as "Lembu Samiri"?
