Lukisan Victorku

Selain dari meminati khat digital aku juga minat melukis secara digital menggunakan drawing program seperti Adobe Illustration dan Corel Draw..membuat lukisan 'icon' untuk buku-buku persekolahan ugama dan kadang-kadang membuat illustrasi apa yang terimaginasi dibenak fikiranku..the sky is the limit, kerana bila kita berkarya dengan medium 'digital', kreativiti kita akan tercabar dengan pelbagai 'digital drawing tools' yang kita miliki..this is a hobby that I totally relax with and it is a lot of fun doing it. Hidup ini terlalu indah jika diindah-indah, sebaliknya membosankan jika tak di ambil endah!

ALLAH IS ALL KNOWING

The creator of the world, Allah Subhaanahu Wata'alaa is all knowing. Al-Quran says: but over all endued with knowledge is one, the All Knowing. Surah Yusof verse 76. As far as we are concerned there are two kinds of things in the Universe, perceptible and imperceptible. However Allah is aware of both of them. On principle there is nothing unknown to Him and nothing is hidden from Him.

Allah Lebih Mengetahui

Allah Subhanahu Wataala berfirman dalam Surah Yusof ayat 76: Dan tiap-tiap orang yang berilmu pengetahuan. Adalagi diatasnya yang lebih mengetahui

Khat Thuluth

Jangan dipaksa dia..biarkan dia..

'Seseorang yang dipaksa akan memburukkan pekerjaannya'. Memang ada benarnya pernyataan dari pepatah Arab ini 'one who is forced will abase his work' So jangan paksa seseorang membuat pekerjaan yand ia tidak minat, natijahnya kalau dipaksa juga nescaya ia akan melakukan perkerjaan itu paling kurang dengan rasa separuh hati sahaja tentulah hasilnya tidak seperti yang kita harap-harapkan. Begitulah manusia apabila dikerah melaksanakan kerja yang tidak disukainya, kerjanya akan menjadi tidak berkualiti.

Pepatah Arab: Belajae Semmasa Kecil

Pepatah Arab mengatakn 'Belajar semasa kecil adalah seperti mengukir di atas batu,' Maksudnya waktu kanak-kanaklah yang paling sesuai dan selesa untuk mengisi dada dengan Ilmu pengetahuan yang berguna kerana apabila usia sudah meningkat tua kita akan menghadapi masalah susah hendak menghafal dan mengingat isi ilmu.

Khat Thuluth

Khat Thuluth 'Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan Dan Yang DiPertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam'. Sebelum mataku mengantok aku sempat mereka khat Thuluth digital ini dengan menggunakan kesan 'gold' pada huruf khat. Alhamdulillah.
