hidup sihat kini dilihat semakin
meningkat dalam golongan
masyarakat Malaysia. Sukan
basikal merupakan salah satu
riadah yang semakin mendapat tempat dan
menjadi tren dalam kalangan penduduk di
negara kita hari ini. Sukan berbasikal turut
disertai oleh pelbagai peringkat usia, dari yang
bersekolah sehingalah berpencen. Pendek
kata, sukan ini sesuai dan mudah dikendalikan
oleh semua golongan dan tidak bersifat
ekstrem. Selain dapat mempertingkatkan
tahap kesihatan diri, sukan ini juga dalam
masa yang sama dapat mengeratkan hubungan
kekeluargaan mahupun sahabat handai.

Dari sudut kesihatan, berbasikal dikatakan
dapat memperbaiki postur tubuh dan otot
seseorang dengan gerakannya yang dapat
menguatkan tulang rawan. Jantung juga dapat
mengepam tanpa meletakkan terlalu banyak
tekanan pada sendi dengan berbasikal. Selain
itu, rutin berbasikal juga dapat membantu
menguatkan tulang belakang dan bahagian
atas anggota badan, menguatkan tulang kaki

Berbanding bukit, gunung mempunyai

Gunung berbeza dengan bukit walaupun ada
gunung yang mempunyai ketinggian lebih

gunung yang lembab dan basah seperti Gunung

Ramai yang tahu apa maksud ‘husnuzzon’,

sesetengah kamu mengumpat sebahagian yang
lain. Adakah seseorang daripada kamu suka

• Akhir sekali dan yang paling penting,
pokok pangkalnya hati. Kalau hati
kita bersih, maka tiada ruang untuk

MOSQUES AS TOURISM PR
CHALLENGES AND OPPO

RODUCTS: The concept of tourism in
ORTUNITIES Islam is conceptualised
as the journey of an
individual who leaves
his or her residence for a
certain period of time with spiritual,
physical, and social-related purposes.
This matter has been emphasised in
the Qur’an, such as in Chapters al-
‘Imran: 137, al-An’am: 11, al-Nahl,
36; al-Naml: 69, al-Hajj: 46, and al-
Mulk: 15. In general, the journey is
associated with the journey to perform
hajj, ‘umrah, rihlah, and other sorts of
pilgrimage. In Malaysia, the concept
of Islamic tourism has been associated
to a field, industry, or activity related
to adventure to visit places that have
Islamic history, get to know the
culture and heritage of Islam, and
understand and live the way of life
of the Muslim community. It can be
said that Islamic tourism is a tourism
based on shari’ah and according to
the demands of faith. In addition,
Islamic tourism must also not be
interspersed with any intentions and
purposes, and elements and activities
that are contrary to the requirements
of shari’ah (Zolkapli, 2013).

Kuala Lumpur has also come up with similar
facilities. There are also several mosques,
such as Masjid Jamek Alam Shah in the Kuala
Lumpur City Centre and AlI’tisam Mosque,
Taman Tun Dr. Ismail Jaya, Shah Alam, in an
attempt to develop the concept of the ‘musafir
house’ (Zuarida, 2010; Mohd Zulfadli, 2012).
In the interim, Mohd. Zulfadli (2012) has
proposed that accommodation offered by the
management of mosques may serve the special
needs and preferences of Muslim travellers.
Presently, the need to continue education at the
institutions of higher learning, convocations,
wedding ceremonies, and family gatherings
are some of the factors that motivate people
to travel extensively. In addition, what needs
to be considered when promoting tourism
products to Muslim travellers is their needs
for halal food and Muslim-friendly services.
Difficulties in performing worship and the
existence of sinful activities at some particular
locations have become a dilemma to many
Muslims to visit those particular places
(Noor Feteri, 2013). Shari’ah-compliant
accommodation, therefore, has a potential
to change the negative image of the Islamic-
tourism industry where Muslims are able to
fulfil their needs of travelling without ignoring
their religious obligations. The project of
affordable homestays within the compound
of mosques may generate extra sources
of income for the mosques and persuade
travellers, especially Muslim tourists, to
stay at the homestays while performing their
obligatory worships.

Any Islamic activities and products as the
part of Islamic-tourism programmes must
be developed, so that tourists can easily
experience the best value for money and,
at the time, they are Shari’ah-compliant.
Thus, Karim (2013) has proposed that
Islamic tourism is inseparable from the
implementation of worship itself. Mosque-
oriented tourism products may motivate
and mobilise activities and programmes that
benefit the local community, such as grocery
stores, restaurants, transportation services,
and other complimentary businesses. This
means that, in addition to serving as a centre of
religious activities, mosques can also benefit

Rubik’s Cube Open Terengganu 2019
was the first Rubik’s Cube competition
conducted in Terengganu and was
held in Dewan Aspirasi, UiTM Cawangan
Terengganu on 30th November 2019. The
event was a collaboration between several
lecturers from the Faculty of Business and
Management and the Office Management
Student Association (OMSA). A children-
costume competition with the theme ‘Fairy
Tale and Superhero’ was also included to
spruce up the event. Even though it was
the first time the event was conducted,
the organisers were surprised to receive
tremendous responses for both competitions.
In addition, several national Rubik’s Cube
players were also invited to join the event to
make it more exciting.

The event started with the registration of
participants and free breakfast at 8.00 a.m.
Both competitions started simultaneously at
9.00 a.m. after Dr. Ahmad Suffian bin Mohd
Zahari, Head of School, Faculty of Business
and Management had officiated the launching
ceremony. The closing ceremony for both
events was officiated by the then Deputy
Rector (Academic Affairs), UiTM Cawangan
Terengganu, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Khlipah Ibrahim.

For the children’s costume competition, the
competitors were judged by three distinguished
panel juries – Dr. Wan Anisabanum Salleh,
Assoc. Prof. Ts. Dr. Sarifah Fauziah Syed
Deraman, and Ms. Noor Malinjasari Ali,
all of whom are senior lecturers of UiTM
Cawangan Terengganu. For the Rubik’s Cube
competition, the rules and scoring followed
the international rules. The winner of the
competition was based on the fastest player to
solve the cube.

The event was a huge success as both
competitions received positive and
encouraging feedback not only from the
participants but also parents whose children
joined the event. The competition ran
smoothly from start to finish and according
to the plan. One of the factors that attributed
to the success of the event is the remarkable
teamwork of the committee members, i.e. the
lecturers and students from OMSA.

AKU ANAK

Aku anak merdeka
Aku bangga menjadi anak Malaysia
Malaysia merdeka pada tanggal 31 Ogos 1957

Tatkala tarikh keramat itulah
Kita pasti mendengar laungan
Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka!
Ayuh! Ayuhlah sahabat-sahabatku
Kita laungkan kata keramat ini

Kibarkan bendera
Tanamkan rasa cinta akan negara

Curahkan bakti setia

Aku anak merdeka
Walaupun sejak kecil
Aku belajar erti kemerdekaan
Namun, cabaran dunia kini
Memberi ideologi baharu

MALAYSIA

Betapa besar pengorbanan dan pahit getir
Barisan hadapan yang memerangi Covid-19
Dan aku akan terus hayati
Sejarah kemerdekaan Malaysia
Agar aku tidak lupa
Jasa wira-wira negara

Aku anak Malaysia
Aku bersyukur
Malaysiaku merdeka, maju dan makmur
Bangunlah bangsaku, bangunlah
Bangkit dari tidurmu yang lena
Tetapkan azam, kuatkan iltizam
Hapuskan musuh durjana
Demi Malaysia tercinta
Kerana kita
Anak Malaysia Merdeka

METAMORFOSIS

Kembara berkelana keseorangan
Mencari makna sebuah kewujudan
Alam luas terbentang penuh tafsiran
Seribu satu persoalan berlegar di fikiran
Sekumpulan burung riang berterbangan
Mencari sesuap rezeki penyambung kehidupan
Haruman bungaan menarik perhatian
Kumbang hitam menghirup kemanisan
Menoleh ke sana temui si larva
Merintih pedih bersendirian
Kepedihan larva nyata sementara
Larva berubah kepada kupu-kupu idaman
Merenung kembali perjalanan diri
Serupa seperti seekor larva
Hidup penuh corak berwarna warni
Metamorfosis demi survival nyawa
Perjuangan hidup di dunia fana
Jangan pernah lupa hakikat diri
Kerana kita semua hanyalah hamba
Tunduk dan merafak sembah pada Ilahi

Di Usia Ini...

Di usia ini..
Aku masih direzekikan kehidupan yang bahagia olehNya
Alhamdulillah!
Dan di usia ini, apakah hatiku semakin matang atau semakin sensitif?
Atau mungkin keduanya?
Di usia ini..
Makin ku fahami bahawa benar dunia ini fana..
Justeru hatiku makin ‘tawar’ padanya
Oh bukankah itu melawan fitrah? Tidak!
Bahkan ia membawa bahagia
Zuhudlah pada tempatnya..
Di usia ini..
Makin ku merasakan bahawa benar ‘kecilnya’ dunia ini
Justeru aku ingin lebih banyak memberi dari menerima
Oh bukankah itu merugikan? Tidak!
Bahkan itulah sifat Rasulullah..baginda banyak memberi..
Di usia ini..
Makin aku mengiyakan bahawa benar ‘sunyi’ dunia ini..
Justeru aku lebih suka mendengar dari melontar kata
Oh bukankan itu meletihkan? Tidak!
Bahkan itu lebih selamat agar kurang hitungan di akhirat kelak..
Di usia ini..
Makin mudah sayu hati datang menyapa…Makin waras dalam bertindak..
Justeru aku lebih banyak menyesali dari berdendam
Sudah jemu? Ya, mungkin..tetapi juga kerana lebih jauh memikirkan dosa dan lagha..
Di usia ini..
Makin aku dapati masa itu benar-benar cepat berlalu..
Justeru makin banyak ingin kuhulurkan kemaafan kepada yang lain
Oh bukankah itu meruntuhkan ego diri? Tidak!
Bahkan aku semakin tenang, aku semakin bahagia.
Di usia ini..
Makin ku harap diri ini disayangi Allah
Agar redhaNya ku miliki
Makin juga kurang pergantungan ku kepada makhlukNya
Agar aku sedar diri.. Tuhanlah yang Maha Berkuasa!

Rindu...
Hari ini
Tinggal seorang perwira
Esok
Tinggal seorang petani
Lusa
Tinggal seorang anak kecil yang tiada lagi mengerti sebuah kehidupan
Hidup ini adakah masih jauh?
Hidup ini sampai bilakah?
Yang pasti
Diriku masih begini
Meneruskan kehidupan di alam yang penuh pancaroba
Melihat kejadian alam sekeliling yang semakin hari kian mengundang
ujian
Ya Allah Rabbul Alamin
Petanda apakah ini?
Ampunkanlah dosa-dosa kami
Dosa-dosa ayahbonda kami yang telah pergi
Duhai Ayahbonda yang telah pergi
Betapa tidak terungkap rindu ini padamu
Rindu yang tiada bertepi
Rindu yang tidak pernah kurasakan
Begini pedih
Begini pilu
