In the name of The Most Gracious and Most Generous

He created EVERYTHING from NOTHING,
He can turn NOBODY to SOMEBODY
everything between as sama' and al wardh is belong to him

"Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny ?"
Chapter Ar Rahman

*entry 1*
Today I went to meet a boy, about 14-15 (I guess) at Proton City to conduct usrah with him and give some advice or teach about fardhu ain knowledge. This is to fullfil his parents wish for me to guide this boy, namely Zach to the right path, show him the Islamic way, avoid him from stray any longer and deviate more from the Islamic compass sirathol mustaqim.

I  nearly feel choked as I heard the situation of the boy. 

"Hmm, interesting, a boy who is trying to search for his identity, loss in the middle of his quest, and sink to the bottom of despair as he follow peers"
 
"I feel like finaly I met junior Heng Tiger because Zach remind me of myself, we have so much common, same interest and even the same boat of situation" I whispered to myself.
That's why I decided to help this couple to aid as possible as I can, as long as I still at Tanjong Malim.

At about 4.30 pm I hurry to their house and then I realized, I haven't plan my lesson plan ! I didn't even know what to share with him. Prayer ? Ikhtilat ? Fasting ? Islamic issues ?

Not a single clue stick on my mind. O Lord, help me to help your humble creature.

How should I start ? What should I share ? When can I start to preach him ??
Those are questions that pop out in my mind but I can't figure the answer yet. 

I arrived, I enter the house after Zach invited me in. 
How do I start ? What kind of usrah should I conduct with this boy ?

Spontaneously I asked him if he know how to tune a guitar because as long as I remember he can play very well in acoustic and electric guitar, besides now I have a guitar which haven't tune yet because I don't know how to tune it and I want to leave tuning to him. 

And that is how we start our conversation. We talk about music that we like, and obviously we have some common on music genre. Wow, this is great since we talk and keep talking about music. Alesana, Motionless in White, Bring Me The Horizon, Paramore, Asking Alexandria, Good Charlotte, My Chemical Romance, Atreyu,  Slipknot and so on. I found a true music appreciation in this boy ! So great !

"So far so good, we get along together very well" I think.

He shows enthusiasm in our conversation and he also told me that some of his friends and even him get bullied in the school because they were considered as freak. This perhaps happen since they love underground music and hate those mainstream music : dubstep, R&B, girlish song (eg Justin Bieber) and got discrimminated by their peers because of their unusual and weird song genre. He even told me that he always got scolded by his mother because he made those rock stars as his idol but his mother doesn't like it because they are not a good example to be made as role model. I do agree with his mother at this point but I might agree if he admire those rock star's talent in music.

His friends at school used to splash water on them, punch them in stomach and sometimes throw away their songkok in the drain. Despite all the hates they receive, they just remain silent and keeping away from them. He even tell me that he glad to be himself, his true self. He doesnot change to follow the mainstream, he just follow his interest and his interest lay on screamo music ! Way to go Zach !

Before I left at 7, I advice him just be himself, but I didn't elaborate more on it because what I mean is we follow our own fitrah as a human who seeks for truth, peace, and God. If he wanna play guitar, if he wanna hear to his music, go on. Just don't let it get you stray away from Allah, The Almighty Lord.
