..to be with our Creator
My heart missed a beat while reading an entry by Puan Ainon Mohd. while browsing through Prof. Mohd. Kamil Ibrahim’s http://muhdkamil.net/mystory/?m=200711). “Prof! I am deeply saddened..” These words were left there by this great hearted lady whom we have grown to affectionately address as SifuPTS.
In an instant, my fingers deftly moved the mouse to http://www.universitipts.com/

I was dumbfounded the moment my eyes glanced through the entry dated February 3rd. 2008.

From HIM we came and unto HIM do we return…
True! This gentle soul has gone. This kind man by the name of Ahmad Zafran Abdul Mutalib or more profoundly known as Panaharjuna has been called home while he lay sleeping. He had been suffering from heart ailment, commuting alone, back and forth between Kuala Lumpur and his hometown in Negeri Sembilan for treatment and hoping for a new heart in the waiting list. He was only 35 years old.
A gleaming drop of pearl has vanished from this earth. However, he will most certainly be remembered through his numerous books, a legacy he has left behind. PTS community will surely miss him…and I for one, being involved in writing only very recently.
The last entry in his blog
http://panaharjuna.blogspot.com/ was dated January 2d. 2008. The many times, I arrived at his blog for the past few weeks, I would start to ask myself, “It has been quite some time…no more new entries…Well! Perhaps, he is busy…” From HIM we came and unto HIM do we return…

The last entry in his blog
I met this young writer a few times while attending the workshops organized by Puan Ainon at Taman Pertama and we exchanged a few words. Coincidentally, the illustrator and visual illustrator for the late writer’s books “Sahabat Kole Kacang” and “Sahabat Kole Kacang – Jiwa Pendekar” i.e. Mohd. Faizal Nordin (known as ICesoul) was a student of mine at the engineering campus of Universiti Sains Malaysia a few years ago.
Our friend has gone. Our days too are numbered. The fire on our candle of life that is still burning will one day too, quiver away. Only Allah knows for certain when the hour will be. In the meantime, sow our seeds, nurture good deeds, while the fire is still lit and the clock is still ticking…
“Oh Allah! Accept our friend’s good deeds, forgive his wrongdoings and place him amongst the people whom you love, those who are righteous and enjoin good deeds…Amin, Ya Rabbul Alamin…”
Al Fatihah…
