...So what?!

People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered.
Love them anyway.

If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
Do good anyway.

If you are successful, you win false friends and true enemies.
Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow.
Do good anyway.

Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable.
Be honest and frank anyway.

The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down

by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds.
Think big anyway.

People favor underdogs but follow only top dogs.
Fight for a few underdogs anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight.
Build anyway.

People really need help but may attack you if you do help them.
Help people anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, there may be jealousy;
Be happy anyway.

Give the world the best you have and you’ll get kicked in the teeth.
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God;

It was never between you and them anyway.

P/S: Never hesitate in doing good and let people talk...That's all they can do anyway.

Magic Words: Please & Thank You

Hello again dear readers....May Peace be upon us all,insyaAllah.

Bismilahirrahmanirrahim, in the name of God, the Most Gracious, Most Merciful.
Alhamdulillah (Thank you God),
for giving me another chance to walk on this earth of yours...
:-)

How are we all doing today? My mum once told me : Whether its going to be a happy day or sad day for you today...
It's you who decide the moment you wake up each day.
So, what would it be for you today?
A day full of smiles and happyness? Or sulking and grouching until night falls?
C'est a vous de decider...(Its up to you to decide...)

SMILING IS CHARITY

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
"Charity is prescribed for each descendant of Adam every day the sun rises."
He was then asked: "From what do we give charity every day?"
The Prophet answered: "The doors of goodness are many...enjoining good, forbidding evil, removing harm from the road, listening to the deaf, leading the blind, guiding one to the object of his need, hurrying with the strength of one's legs to one in sorrow who is asking for help,
and supporting the feeble with the strength of one's arms
--all of these are charity prescribed for you."
He also said: "Your smile for your brother is charity."
- Fiqh-us-Sunnah, Volume 3, Number 98

Today I'm going to talk about Magic Words,insyaAllah.

Readers,do you remember the first few words your parents
(or the person who looks after you when you were kid) taught you when you were just a toddler?
Words known as "Magic words"

Remember when you asked for something, the adult would say
" What's the magic word young man ?"(I'm not a sexist,this is just an example ;-p)
Young Man: Pleaseeeeeeeeeeee.....? (accompanied by the sweetest smile imaginable)

Or remember when you received something from others (i.e: a birthday present)...again an adult would ask
" Now..what should you say young lady?" (see..told ya Im not a sexist ;-p).
Or for malaysians maybe the phrase "Cakap apeee..?" would be more up our alley?

Basically Magic Words such as Please & Thank you are crucial in everything,right?
We say please for things we want....And thank you for the things we get
(even if sometimes we didnt even ask for it)

Why are 'please' & 'thank you' so important?

First, to avoid any serious injuries...Caused by any 'abusive' adult..Hehe (Kene pukul kang...)

Secondly, to avoid getting scold at in front of everybody...or worse...getting the 'cold stare' of your parents...(pandangan maut) especially from a mother...
If you happen to have one whos like mine. ;-p

Then, theres also the possibility of not getting anymore presents or any goodies at all if you are so persistent in not saying these Magic Words...Right?

So,why am I telling you things you already know?

....because I'm trying to make a connection here between God & our blessings...

We asked for a happy life...we smile and laugh every now and then...
We asked for company so we'll never feel lonely...family and friends never left our side...
We asked for a healthy body...we're still breathing, walking, talking, texting

But sometimes...
We didn't pray that we will have food to eat..But He never left us to starve...
We didn't pray so that our home won't be burn down while we're asleep...But He protected us anyhow...
We didn't ask so that our parents won't fall down when they're walking down the stairs, back at home, miles away from us...
But yet,He still give us the chance to hear their voice on the phone..just moments ago.

Sometimes there are things we didn't even think of asking...
But we got it anyhow...

Yet,
we even dare to complain when we receive things we didn't particularly like from our parents...
we smug when our friend gave us a green keychain instead of blue
it even upsets us to see that our favourite shirt is still in the laundry...

We asked for it, He gave it,
We didnt even say please...We got it anyhow
We didn't even ask for it...
but our days are still blessed with love,happiness and friendship.

But....
Still we turn our back on Him
Sometimes we even forget Him

"Alhamdulillah...Thank you God.."

Is it soo hard to be muttered by the mouth,the lips,the voice that He grant us with...?

Why?

Don't you think our Creator,the Giver deserve atleast our thanks to Him?

Dating dgn kekasih hati...

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...

Okay this time around Im going to write this post the way I talk. Which means there'll be malay and a few english words...For those who only understands english and wish for me to explain..do leave a comment..;-)...Please & thank you

Kenapelakan...klu kite janji dgn manusie..klu lambat sepuloh menet...kite da bwat muke.
Klu yg couple tu..boleh gado sampai nk clash..hanye kerane 10 menet...

Tapikan kalau dgn Die...Bayangkan klu setiap solat tu diibaratkan macam 'dating' dengan yang Maha Penyayang. Tergamak kite buat die tertunggu2 sampai waktu kite menghadap Die...Kekdang bukan setakat 10 menet,boleh sampai 20 menet,30 menet...Kdang2 kite skalikan je terus 'date' yg first dengan 'date' yang sterusnye.
Cth: (Dialog biase)

Manusie (sambil melihat jam tangan): Eh da nk masuk maghrib nie..Tapela,tunggu la lg siket nak Asar..Takyah amek wudhu' lagi da..Sekalikan je terus..Pas Asar tnggu kejap then Maghrib. Senang siket...

Cube tanye diri sendiri pernah tak ayat-ayat sebegini terlintas kt otak kite?

Cube bayangkan kite buat macam tu dgn orang yg kite janji nk jumpe....
Dekatkan trus 'date' atau klu org french panggil 'rendezvous'
,kalau skalikan je rendezvous yg first dgn yg second...Camane tu?

Klu dengan yang tersayang...uish,bukan maen lg,siap-siap,wangi-wangi...
Tak boleh lambat..Kene On-time!

Tapi....
Kenapa kite boleh tergamak nak buat macam tu (melambatkan 'date') dengan yang Maha Mengasihi kite...?
Umpame kite buat Die tertunggu-tunggu,kadang-kadang setengah jam...
Klu yang isya' kdangkale berejam..Trus tunggu subuh kan?
Takpon kekdang ade antare kite yang terus 'cancel' je 'date' nie...

Kenape?

Lepas tu bile hari kite macam 'suwey' siket ade yang even berani salahkan Die and saying things like..
'Life's not fair,hidup tak adil,nape mesti aku...etc'
Sedangkan...Do we ourselves even take time during the days to remember Him, to thank Him?
Kite tak ingat pon kt Die...By right, layakkah kite diingati Die...?

Sedangkan Die lah Segalenye.
Dari Die datang sumenye, tanpe die,tadelah family kite,tadelah rezeki kite utk makan berpakaian etc.
Tanpe die,takan bertemulah kite dengan org tersayang kite tu...

Maybe its time for us to muhasabah diri and think...

Sume yang baik dtg dr Rabbi 'alamin...
Dan yg tidak baik dtg dr kelemahan diri saye sendirik
juge Syaitan-syaitan yang busy membisik di depan,blakang,kiri dan kanan saye..

فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَا . لَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ

[Al-Maa'uun 107:4 .107:5]

[4]
(Kalau orang yang demikian dikira dari bilangan orang-orang yang mendustakan ugama), maka kecelakaan besar bagi orang-orang Ahli Sembahyang -

(laitu) mereka yang berkeadaan lalai daripada menyempurnakan sembahyangnya;

My True Love, My Purpose, My Everything

After all these years of searching...

Alhamdulillah, I've finally found what I've been looking for,
the perfect companion, apart of me which I didn't know exist.

Him.

1) He protects me and makes me feel safe even in the darkest hour of night, even in the most lonely and quiet street.

2) He is my strength when Im weakened by my surroundings...or even by my own weaknesses.

3) He's willing to forgive me even when Ive comitted the biggest mistake imagineable.

4) He listens to me, even when there are thousand others who turn to him.

5) Sometimes I can express myself in any language, still he understands me.

6) Sometimes...I don't even have to talk. Still he knows whats bothering me.

7) He made me feel loved like no one has ever before

8) I trust him with all of my heart because I know he would never break it

9) Its because of him I won that basketball competition when I was 16..Its because of him I passed my exams with flying colors..He always gives me gifts. Even when I didn't ask for it. Often, I forget to thank him. But still he's patient with me.

10)Sometimes he punishes me whenever Ive crossed the line. But I'm not angry or anything cause I know the only reason he does that is because he cares about me.

11) Even if I can't see him, I know he's always there to guide me, I know this because he left me 114 love letters to remind me of him.

12) I'm not scared to love him...Cause I know he would never ever leave me...He would always be there.

13) He's my friend,

14) My first, my last and my one and only true love...the incomparable...

Who is it Im reffering to? Well he is...

1)Al-Muhaimin 2)Al-Jabbar 3)Al-Afu 4)As-Sami 5)Al- Wasi 6)Al-Khabir 7)Al-Wadud 8)Al-Wakil 9) As-Sabur & Al-Basit 10) Al-Muntaqim 11)Al-Batin, Ar-Rasheed & Al-Hadi 12) As-Samad & Al Baqi' 13) Al-Wali 14) Al-Awwal, Al-Akhir, Al-Wahid...Al-Badi'

اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَهُ الْأَسْمَاء الْحُسْنَى
[Surah Taa-Haa 20:8]

Allah! There is no God but Him! To Him belong the Best Names.

If you'd like to know Him better:

(You'll find another 78 attribute of His)

;-)

God never gave me what I wanted...

I asked for strength... God gave difficulties to make me strong.

I asked for wisdom... God gave me problems to solve.

I asked for courage...God gave me obstacles to overcome.

I asked for Love... God gave me troubled people to help.

I asked for favors... and God gave me opportunities.

Maybe I received nothing I wanted...

But I received EVERYTHING I needed.

Alhamdulillah, Thank you Allah.

كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِتَالُ وَهُوَ كُرْهٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَى أَن تَكْرَهُواْ شَيْئًا وَهُوَ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَعَسَى أَن تُحِبُّواْ شَيْئًا وَهُوَ شَرٌّ لَّكُمْ وَاللّهُ يَعْلَمُ وَأَنتُمْ لاَ تَعْلَمُونَ

[Al-Baqarah: 216]

Jihad is ordained for you (Muslims) though you dislike it,
and it may be that you dislike a thing which is good for you,
and that you like a thing which is bad for you.
Allah knows but you do not know...

The Cow

Repeat after me and answer the question that follows;

* Silk,silk,silk

What do cows drink?

;-p

Kudos to those who answered 'water' but to those who answered 'milk'...

Oops..Sorry,wrong answer. Didn't I just remind you to;

Think before you speak?

;-)

Have a nice day~

And He *winked at me...

:-)

Hello readers...May peace be upon us all.

Alhamdulillah again I'm given another day to live and to tell a tale...

Bismilahirrahmanirrahim, in the name of Allah,the Most Gracious, Most Merciful.


Today, with the blessings of Allah, Al-Barr, the Benign (yang Banyak Membuat Kebajikan),
I've experienced such a wonderful moment while I was out running my errands.

(...)
I was at the cashier,I was about to pay when I realized I didn't have enough money on me.
As I was trying to negociate with the lady by reducing one of the items I bought,
(I was praying so that God will help me out of this mess at the same time, rummaging through my pockets in hopes of finding 10 cents)
Suddenly, the gentleman behind me offered to pay for all of the items (his & mine) and he took my money (the one thats lacking 10 cents)
At first I thought it was because my pathetic effort to pay was holding up the queue and that he was in a hurry.
After collecting my stuff, I looked up and saw the men who helped me just now.
He smiled and winked at me...Then he left.
It was then that I realized, what he did really was an act of generosity.

Then I thought: where does all this Goodness comes from....

I smiled to myself when I think of Him, Al-Kareem, the Generous.
I smiled even more when I think of Him, Al-Mujeeb, the Responder to our Prayers.
I kept smiling when I think of Him, Al-Walee, the Supporter,the Protecting Friend

The gentleman winked at me...That gentleman is a creation of Him, Al-Khaliq...
That gentleman may not be God Himself...
But by his act of generosity is an attribute of God.
His goodness and kindness are only present because of Allah.
Allah grants this men with such wonderful qualities...

When that gentleman winked at me...
I felt as if it was God's way of communicating to me to tell me:

"Told you I'd be there for you...All you have to do is come and look for me..."

I left the supermarket, and drops of rain fell down on me...So did the tears from my eyes.

;-)

God is Great.And I thank You for EVERYTHING.

Subahanallah,walhamdulillah,walailahailallah wallahuakhbar...

P/S-
To the gentleman that helped me, may God bless you, Que le Dieu vous benisse.
Only Allah can repay what you have done for me.
(Semoga dirimu ditempatkan bersama orang2 yang dikasihi-Nya)

Hadith Nawawi 26

Abu Hurairah, radiyallahu 'anhu, reported that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said :

"On every person's joints or small bones (i.e. fingers and toes), there is sadaqah (charity) every day the sun rises. Doing justice between two people is sadaqah; assisting a man to mount his animal, or lifting up his belongings onto it is sadaqah; a good word is sadaqah; every step you take towards prayer is sadaqah; and removing harmful things from pathways is sadaqah."

[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

SMILING IS CHARITY

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Charity is prescribed for each descendant of Adam every day the sun rises." He was then asked: "From what do we give charity every day?" The Prophet answered: "The doors of goodness are many...enjoining good, forbidding evil, removing harm from the road, listening to the deaf, leading the blind,
guiding one to the object of his need,
hurrying with the strength of one's legs to one in sorrow who is asking for help,
and supporting the feeble with the strength of one's arms
--all of these are charity prescribed for you."
He also said: "Your smile for your brother is charity."
