<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">This
morning when I opened my Dua book to read the morning Duas, I came to this page
where it says.....</span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;">"Ettiquettes of Sleeping". </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">So I
read. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">As I was
reading it, I just realized that I haven't been doing these ‘adab tidur’ for
quite a while. Let’s take one adab for an instance, to </span><span style="color: blue; font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-MY; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi;">sleep
with wudhu'</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt 18pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">What
normally happen with me is I would keep my wudhu after Isya' solah, but if it
breaks later on before I go to bed, I would just go to sleep without making a
new wudhu, out of pure laziness I have to admit </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 12pt;">L</span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Now,
this time when I read these etiquettes again, I feel like I want to make a
fresh start and try to practise these adaab of sleeping. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Ramai antara kita yang suka tidur lewat kan? Yang muda-muda pulak lagi la...Staying up till late at night sampai 2-3 pagi perkara biasa je sekarang ni...Ada yang sibuk dok layan movie, ada yang keluar enjoy dengan friends dan ada juga yang marathon anime 23 episod. Tak kira la aktiviti apa kita buat, yang penting kita tidak merasa susah, mengantuk mahupun penat. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
Dalam banyak-banyak malam yang kita spend untuk benda-benda yang melalaikan ni...apa kata malam ni, kita cuba ubah selera sikit. Cuba kita stay up untuk beribadat sempena Nisfu Sya'ban. Bukan maksud saya kita ibadat bila ada special occassion je...tapi, dah namanya 'special occassion' kena la kita treat malam ni special jugak kan. Tak kan kita nak biarkan ianya berlalu begitu sahaja..?<br />
<br />
Nisfu Sya'ban ni macam pernah dengar je...tapi apa ya...? (saya bertanya)<br />
(Saya jawab sendiri): 'Nisfu' maksudnya 'setengah'. Jadi Nisfu Sya'ban maksudnya hari ke-15 Sya'ban. Ok, saya tak mo explain panjang-panjang, please read on to understand what night of Nisfu Sya'ban is and how virtuous it is.....May Allah bless you all..<br />

<b style="font-size: x-large; line-height: 22px;">Nisfu Sya'ban - 15th Of Sya'ban</b><br />

<div style="color: #666666; line-height: 13.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 22px;">Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, </span><i style="line-height: 22px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #003399;">‘This is the night of the half of Sha’ban. Allah Ta’ala looks upon His slaves in this night and forgives those who seek forgiveness and bestows His mercy upon those who pray for mercy but leaves those who have malice (against a Muslim) as they were before, (and does not forgive them unless they free themselves from malice).’</span></i><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 22px;">(Bayhaqi #3835)</span></span></div>
</div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 22px;">• Hazrat Aisha (Radiyallahu Anha) has reported Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) to have said, </span><i style="line-height: 22px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #003399;">‘This is the middle Night of Sha'ban. Allah emancipates in it a large number of the people from the Fire, more than the number of the hair growing on the sheep of the tribe of Kalb. But He does not cast a glance at a person who associates partners with Him, or at a person who harbours malice in his heart (against someone), or at a person who severs family ties, or at a man who leaves his clothes extending below his ankles, or at a person who disobeys his parents, or at a person who has a habit of drinking wine.’ </span></i><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 22px;">(Bayhaqi) The tribe of Kalb were a large tribe, the members of which owned many sheep. Therefore, the last sentence of the hadith indicates the large number of people forgiven on this night by Allah Ta’aala.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">

<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 15px;"><span style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">It is understood from Ahadith that even on this great night, some unfortunate individuals are deprived of Allah's forgiveness. They are:<br style="line-height: 22px;" />1. Idolaters<br style="line-height: 22px;" />2. Those who harbour enmity against others<br style="line-height: 22px;" />3. Those who consume alcohol<br style="line-height: 22px;" />4. Those who disobey their parents<br style="line-height: 22px;" />5. Those <u style="line-height: 22px;">men</u> who wear their clothes below their ankles<br style="line-height: 22px;" />6. Those who commit murder<br style="line-height: 22px;" />7. Those who sever family ties.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 15px;"><span style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">We can thus gauge the severity of these sins and need to abstain from them at all times.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 15px;"><span style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">• The virtue of this night established from these ahadith is that from the very beginning of the night Allah Ta’ala turns with special mercy and attention towards the creation and forgives those who repent and seeks forgiveness. Every Muslim should therefore value this night. Turn towards Allah Ta’ala with sincere regret and shame over sins committed and make a promise never to return to sin again and seek forgiveness from Allah Ta'ala. Seek forgiveness for oneself and all Muslims, living and deceased. Have firm hope and resolution in the heart that Allah Ta’ala will surely show mercy and forgiveness.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 15px;"><span style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">In order to achieve the blessings of the Night of Bara’ah, one should remain awake as much as one can. If it is possible, one should spend the whole night in worship. However, if one cannot do so, one can select a considerable portion of the night, preferably the second half of it, and perform the following acts of worship:</span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="line-height: normal;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 22px;">• </span><b style="line-height: 22px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #003399;">SALAAH:</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 22px;"> It is the most preferable act to be performed in this night, particularly after midnight in solitude. There is no particular number of raka’aat, but preferably it should not be less than eight. It is also advisable that each part of the salaah like qiyaam, ruku and sajdah should be longer than normal. The longest surahs of the Noble Qur'an one remembers by heart should also be recited.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="ecxMsoNormal" style="background-color: white; color: #666666; line-height: 13.5pt; margin-bottom: 1.35em;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 22px;">• </span><b style="line-height: 22px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #003399;">TILAAWAH</span></b></span><span style="line-height: normal;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 22px;">: The recitation of the Noble Qur’an is another form of beneficial worship in this night. After performing Salah, or at any other time, one should recite as much of the Noble Qur’an as one can.<br />• </span><b style="line-height: 22px;"><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: #003399;">ZIKR & SALAWAAT(DUROOD</span></b><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; line-height: 22px;">): One should also recite as much dhikr (recitation of the name of Allah) as possible in this night, as well Salawaat/durood on our noble master Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wasallam. These can be recited while walking, lying on bed and during other hours of work or leisure.</span></span></span></div>

It is hoped that all our prayers in this night will be accepted by Allah. Du’a itself is an ‘ibadah, and Allah Almighty rewards the reciter for asking, in addition to fulfilling his/her needs. The following Duaa has been reported from Nabi (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) on this night:</span></span></span></div>

</div>
<div class="first">
<i><span style="color: red;">* I do not own this article.</span></i><br />
<br />
Some people instantly make us feel important. Some
people instantly make us feel special. Some people light up a room just
by walking in.</div>
<div class="first">
<br />
We can't always define it, but some people have it: They're naturally charismatic.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, natural charisma quickly loses its impact. Familiarity breeds, well, familiarity.<br />
<br />
But
some people are remarkably charismatic: They build and maintain great
relationships, consistently influence (in a good way) the people around
them, consistently make people feel better about themselves--they're the
kind of people everyone wants to be around...and wants to be.<br />
<br />
Fortunately
we can, because being remarkably charismatic isn't about our level of
success or our presentation skills or how we dress or the image we
project--it's about what we do.<br />
<br />
Here are the 10 habits of remarkably charismatic people:<br />
<b><br /><span style="color: blue;">1. They listen way more than they talk.</span></b><br />
<br />
Ask questions. Maintain eye contact. Smile. Frown. Nod. Respond--not so much verbally, but nonverbally.<br />
<br />
That's all it takes to show the other person they're important.<br />
<br />
Then
when you do speak, don't offer advice unless you're asked. Listening
shows you care a lot more than offering advice, because when you offer
advice in most cases you make the conversation about you, not them.<br />
<br />
Don't believe me? Who is "Here's what I would do..." about: you or the other person?<br />
<br />
Only
speak when you have something important to say--and always define
important as what matters to the other person, not to you.<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>2. They don't practice selective hearing.</b></span><br />
<br />
Some
people--I guarantee you know people like this--are incapable of hearing
anything said by the people they feel are somehow beneath them.<br />
<br />
Sure,
you speak to them, but that particular falling tree doesn't make a
sound in the forest, because there's no one actually listening.<br />
<br />
Remarkably
charismatic people listen closely to everyone, and they make all of us,
regardless of our position or social status or "level," feel like we
have something in common with them.<br />
<br />
Because we do: We're all people.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>3. They put their stuff away.</b></span><br />
<br />
Don't check your phone. Don't glance at your monitor. Don't focus on anything else, even for a moment.<br />
<br />
You can never connect with others if you're busy connecting with your stuff, too.<br />
<br />
Give
the gift of your full attention. That's a gift few people give. That
gift alone will make others want to be around you and remember you.<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>4. They give before they receive--and often they never receive.</b></span><br />
<br />
Never
think about what you can get. Focus on what you can provide. Giving is
the only way to establish a real connection and relationship.<br />
<br />
Focus,
even in part and even for a moment, on what you can get out of the
other person, and you show that the only person who really matters is
you.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>5. They don't act self-important…</b></span><br />
<br />
The
only people who are impressed by your stuffy, pretentious,
self-important self are other stuffy, pretentious, self-important
people.<br />
<br />
The rest of us aren't impressed. We're irritated, put off, and uncomfortable.<br />
<br />
And we hate when you walk in the room.<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>6. …Because they realize other people are more important.</b></span><br />
<br />
You already know what you know. You know your opinions. You know your perspectives and points of view.<br />
<br />
That stuff isn't important, because it's already yours. You can't learn anything from yourself.<br />
<br />
But you don't know what other people know, and everyone, no matter who they are, knows things you don't know.<br />
<br />
That makes them a lot more important than you--because they're people you can learn from.<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>7. They shine the spotlight on others.</b></span><br />
<br />
No one receives enough praise. No one. Tell people what they did well.<br />
<br />
Wait, you say you don't know what they did well?<br />
<br />
Shame on you--it's your job to know. It's your job to find out ahead of time.<br />
<br />
Not only will people appreciate your praise, they'll appreciate the fact you care enough to pay attention to what they're doing.<br />
<br />
Then they'll feel a little more accomplished and a lot more important.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b>8. They choose their words.</b></span><br />
<br />
The words you use impact the attitude of others.<br />
<br />
For
example, you don't have to go to a meeting; you get to go meet with
other people. You don't have to create a presentation for a new client;
you get to share cool stuff with other people. You don't have to go to
the gym; you get to work out and improve your health and fitness.<br />
<br />
We
all want to associate with happy, enthusiastic, fulfilled people. The
words you choose can help other people feel better about themselves--and
make you feel better about yourself, too.<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><b><br />9. They don't discuss the failings of others...</b></span><br />
<br />
Granted, we all like hearing a little gossip. We all like hearing a little dirt.<br />
<br />
The problem is, we don't necessarily like--and we definitely don't respect--the people who dish that dirt.<br />
<br />
Don't laugh at other people. When you do, the people around you wonder if you sometimes laugh at them.<br />
<span style="color: blue;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue;"><b>10. ...But they readily admit their failings.</b></span><br />
<br />
Incredibly
successful people are often assumed to have charisma simply because
they're successful. Their success seems to create a halo effect, almost
like a glow.<br />
<br />
The keyword is seem.<br />
<br />
You don't have to be
incredibly successful to be remarkably charismatic. Scratch the shiny
surface, and many successful people have all the charisma of a rock.<br />
<br />
But you do have to be incredibly genuine to be remarkably charismatic.<br />
<br />
Be humble. Share your screwups. Admit your mistakes. Be the cautionary tale. And laugh at yourself.<br />
<br />
While you should never laugh at other people, you should always laugh at yourself.<br />
<br />
People won't laugh at you. People will laugh laugh with you.<br />
<br />
They'll like you better for it--and they'll want to be around you a lot more.</div>

<span style="background-color: transparent;"><i>Bismillahirrahmaanirraheem</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: transparent;"></span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: transparent;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent;">
</span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: transparent;">Kasyaf kepada wali Allah ini ada banyak bahagiannya, seperti berikut:</span></div>
<span style="background-color: transparent;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
1) <b>Kasyaf Mata</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mata dapat melihat alam mawara-ul-maddah atau disebut sebagai alam yang seni-seni atau boleh disebutkan sebagai alam di luar kebendaan. Di sini, mata dapat melihat perkara-perkara ghaib seperti malaikat, jin dan syaitan. Kasyaf inilah yang menjadikan orang seperti Sayyidina Umar r.a nampak apa yang sedang berlaku pada tentera-tenteranya. Karamah seperti ini penting kerana dapat menyelamatkan seluruh tentera Islam.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2)<b> Kasyaf Telinga</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kasyaf telinga disebut juga hatif. Telinga boleh mendengar benda-benda yang ghaib. Mendengar suara tetapi tidak nampak lembaganya sama ada dari jin Islam yang soleh, malaikat atau waliullah. Suara itu adakalanya membawa berita gembira, adakalanya berita yang negatif. Tujuannya ialah Allah hendak menghiburkan orang yang mendapatnya. Kalau berita itu berita gembira, boleh menggembirakannya. Sebaliknya, kalau berita itu berita duka, juga akan menggembirakannya kerana dia tahu terlebih dahulu, sekurang-kurangnya dia boleh bersiap menghadapi ujian itu. Atau dia boleh mengelak daripada bahaya itu.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3) <b>Kasyaf Mulut</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Tuhan beri kepada orang itu, lidahnya ‘masin’ seperti doanya kabul atau apa yang dia sebut terjadi sama ada jangka pendek atau jangka panjang. Juga, di mana saja dia memberi kuliah, nasihat, tunjuk ajar, berdakwah dan sebagainya, ianya mudah diterima masyarakat dan boleh mengubah hati mereka. Akhirnya berubahlah sikap masyarakat. Karamah seperti ini biasanya dikurniakan kepada pemimpin.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4) <b>Kasyaf Akal</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mendapat ilmu yang seni-seni yang Allah SWT kurniakan pada seseorang terus jatuh ke hatinya. Ini terjadi tanpa dia belajar, tanpa membaca, tanpa mentelaah dan tanpa berguru. Dinamakan juga ilham atau ilmu laduni. Agar tidak terkeliru, perlu diingat orang yang hendak dapat ilmu laduni itu, dia mestilah dahulu ada ilmu asas iaitu ilmu fardhu ain.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5) <b>Kasyaf Hati</b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dinamakan juga firasat. Inilah kasyaf yang tertinggi daripada kasyaf-kasyaf yang disebutkan tadi. Biasanya dikurniakan kepada pemimpin . Itupun tidak banyak kerana Allah SWT kurniakan hanya kepada pemimpin-pemimpin yang sangat soleh, yang sangat sabar menanggung ujian yang begitu berat ditimpakan kepada mereka. Kasyaf hati ialah rasa hati atau gerakan hati yang tepat lagi benar. Dia boleh menyuluh mazmumah yang seni-seni yang kadang-kadang kita membaca kitab tak mengerti. Termasuk juga adalah rasa hati dapat membaca diri seseorang.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Nabi pernah bersabda, “Hendaklah kamu takuti firasat orang mukmin kerana dia melihat dengan pandangan Allah”.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Apa yang dimaksudkan dengan firasat itu ialah kasyaf hati. Orang yang mendapatnya dapat memimpin diri dan dapat memimpin orang lain. Kalau tidak, seorang itu tidak layak jadi pemimpin. Kalau dia terus memimpin rosaknya lebih banyak daripada kebaikan.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Pengetahuan mengenai gerak geri manusia, cara, sikap, perangai baik dan buruk, ucapan serta akhlak seseorang. Firasat ini diperoleh disebabkan nur yang dilemparkan oleh Allah SWT ke dalam hati orang beriman. Kuatnya firasat ini bergantung pada kuatnya keimanan. </div>
<div>
Allah SWT memberikannya kepada para wali-walinya yang terpilih dan juga sebagai bekal dakwah untuk menyampaikan mesej yang paling sesuai kepada mereka yang akan mendengar. Firasat ini tidak boleh diingkari sebagaimana firman Allah yang lalu pada surah Al-Hijr ayat 75. maksudnya:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;">"Sesungguhnya pada yang demikian itu benar-benar terdapat tanda-tanda (kekuasaan Allah) bagi orang yang memperhatikan tanda-tanda." </span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"> </span></div>
<div>
Riwayat daripada Anas bin Malik: Satu hari Anas pergi bertemu Sayidina Usman tetapi sebelumnya beliau pergi ke pasar dan ternampak seorang wanita. Apabila Anas masuk bertemu Sayidina Usman lalu sayidina Usman berkata: “Salah sorang daripada kamu masuk bertemu ku tetapi di matanya terdapat kesan zina”. Lalu Anas berkata: Apakah masih ada wahyu selepas Baginda? Jawab Sayidina Usman: Tidak, tetapi ini adalah firasat dan petunjuk.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Berkata Ibn Abbas: Tidak ada seorang pun yang bertanya kepada aku kecuali aku mengetahui sama ada dia seorang faqih (berilmu) atau tidak.</div>
<div>
Keramah yang Allah SWT kurniakan kepada Tok Kenali : Suatu hari Tok Kenali terdengar orang ramai riuh rendah bersorak di Kampung Pulau Bunut (Kelantan) kerana meraikan kemenangan dalam laga lembu. Beliau menegur situasi itu dengan menyatakan," gamaknya mereka bersorak menolong rumah terbakar.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ditakdirkan Allah, malam itu unggun api yang dipasang pemilik lembu jantan yang menang dalam temasya itu untuk mengasapkan nyamuk, merebak memusnahkan rumahnya menyebabkan dia tinggal sehelai sepinggang. Peristiwa terbabit menyebabkan penduduk Kampung Pulau Bunut dan sekitarnya meninggalkan perbuatan berlaga lembu yang berdosa dan tiada perikemanusiaan itu.</div>
<div>
Firasat hanya akan diperoleh oleh orang-orang beriman. Berkata Abu Syuja’ al-Karmani :<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-small;"><i>"Untuk mendapat firasat ini : Sesiapa yang menjaga matanya daripada yang haram, menjaga dirinya daripada mengikut syahwat, sentiasa menghidupkan batin dengan muraqabah kepada Allah dan tidak akan makan kecuali yang halal, maka firasatnya tidak akan tersilap."</i></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Sahabat yang dikasihi, </div>
<div>
Demikianlah huraian mengenai kasyaf yang di ambil daripada hadis Nabi SAW dan kisah sahabat dan para wali Allah menjadi panduan kita semua sekiranya akan berlaku perkara-perkara luar biasa dimasa akan datang. Kita janganlah mudah terpengaruh sekiranya seseorang mendakwa bahawa dia kasyaf sedangkan peribadinya bukan seorang yang berakhlak Islam dan ianya bertentangan pula dengan al-Quran dan as-Sunnah. Kita hanya ambil dua sumber yang jelas iaitu al-Quran dan as-Sunnah , insya Allah kita tidak akan sesat selama-lamanya.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span dir="RTL" lang="AR-SA" style="font-family: "Arabic Typesetting"; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 115%;"> بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>If you feel like 'killing' your free time, then it's actually.......a problem! Because time is money, time is gold, time is sword etc etc...well, you know it better than I do. Let me share some useful tips with you. Nope, I did not figure these things out by myself, some good people on <a href="http://blog.iloveallaah.com/2011/12/spare-time/" target="_blank">iLoveAllah.com</a> did....you can read the full article there. May Allah reward you O' servant of Allah.</b></span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1- Doing
acts of worship such as reciting dhikr and wird, praying, reading
Qur’aan, fasting and thinking about the signs and blessings of Allaah. </span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">Solah,Dhikr and reading Qur'an may sound normal, but think again. How much time do we spare to perform these acts properly? 1 hour 5 times daily? Can it be that the time we spend watching movies is more than the time we spend on our I'badah? Let's try this. If I watch TV for 3 hours (no hal...), I'll perform my I'badah for 3 hours also....(sembahyang apa lama sangat ni..?)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2- One
should pay special attention to the Qur’aan, memorize more so that one can memorize the whole
Qur’aan, before one becomes burdened with the responsibilities of life.
For (reading) each letter is a hasanah, and each hasanah brings a
tenfold reward. And each verse raises one in status and increases one’s
reward, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
<i>“Read and rise (in status), for as you used to recite in this world,
your position (in the Hereafter) will be determined by the last verse
you read.” </i>Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1464; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani
in al-Saheehah, 2240.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3- Adopt a cause affecting Muslim in
the country where you live, such as helping to teach Muslim kids,
undertaking charitable projects, and so on.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">4- Find good and righteous friends with whom you can meet and get together.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">5- Read Islamic books in particular and useful stories in general.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">6- Get involved in da’wah, women’s activities and children’s sports in Islamic centres.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">7- Listen to tapes and lectures, and write summaries which you can distribute to those who will benefit from them.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">8- Learn some useful areas of worldly knowledge such as cooking, sewing, etc.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">9- Learn
about computers and useful programs, for this is a vast area which will
take up a lot of time and can be used to do a lot of good and useful
things. This will take you away from sitting in front of the TV which
does not help you in any way, and does more harm than good.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">10- You
should read some books which speak of the importance of time and how to
manage it; listen to some useful lectures on this topic too.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">"Since when do you listen to lectures???" </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: blue;">I agree, sometimes it takes more effort for some people to listen to Islamic lectures on a daily, weekly or even monthly basis. But, seriously, our Iman cannot live without it. It's food for souls. There are many good websites for this purpose, why don't try and search a bit? I'll give you a clue.....http://www.sacredlearning.org/general-talks/category (the website it's currently down, but it has really good ones.) </span> </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">Rabi'ah Aslami r.a. telah bercerita : "Pada suatu hari aku telah bertengkar dengan Abu Bakar (radhiallahu anh). Semasa pertengkaran itu berlaku, dia mengeluarkan sepatah kata kesat kepada aku. Dengan serta-merta dia telah menyedari kesilapannya lalu berkata: <b><i>"Wahai saudara, gunakanlah perkataan itu terhadapku sebagai tindakan balas."</i></b> Aku enggan berbuat demikian. Dia menggesaku supaya menggunakan perkataan kesat itu dan berkata hendak merujuk kepada Nabi SAW. Aku tidak juga mahu mengalah. Dia pun bangun meninggalkan aku. Beberapa orang dari ahli puakku yang menyaksikan peristiwa tadi mencemuh: "Ganjil betul orang ini; dia yang melakukan kesalahan dan dia pula mengancam hendak mengadukan kepada Nabi SAW." Dengan segera aku menyampuk: "Kamu tahu siapakah dia? Dia adalah Abu Bakar. Menyinggungnya bererti menyinggung Nabi dan menyinggung Nabi bererti menyinggung Allah. Kalau perbuatanku menyinggung Allah, siapakah yang akan menyelamatkan aku?" Aku pun bangun lantas pergi mendapatkan Nabi SAW, kepadanya aku bercerita apa yang telah berlaku. Baginda SAW berkata:" Keenggananmu mengeluarkan kata-kata kesat itu sudah kena pada tempatnya. Tetapi untuk mengurangkan penderitaan batinnya (Abu Bakar), sekurang-kurangnya kamu berkatalah: "Semoga Allah mengampunimu, hai Abu Bakar."</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">Bacalah berita selanjutnya...</span><br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Deputy national police chief Khalid Abu Bakar said the decision to halt the three-year-old "Seksualiti Merdeka" (Sexuality Freedom) festival set for November 9-13 came after Muslims called for it to be banned.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Police will take action... to prevent any function relating to the programme," Khalid was quoted as saying by the national Bernama news agency.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He said Muslim and other groups had protested that "the programme could create disharmony, enmity and disturb public order."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">A senior police official confirmed the decision to AFP.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Festival organiser Pang Khee Pik said the announcement marked a "very tragic day for Malaysia."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"We are aware that<span class="Apple-style-span"> homophobic polices in Malaysia are not isolated, but (the police decision) is a symptom of a systemic breakdown in human rights in the country," he told AFP.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pang said 1,500 people attended the event last year and organisers had expected that to double this year.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">He said the "lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community of Malaysia are tired of having our rights continually taken away from us. We are tired of being bullied, harassed, persecuted and put in jail for who we are."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pang added the festival was "likely to be cancelled and we will have to re-strategise."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The police decision came after rising pressure from Muslims, with one Islamic group threatening to protest on Friday.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Homosexuality remains a taboo subject in Muslim-majority Malaysia, where sodomy is punishable by up to 20 years in prison.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Last week, members of the conservative opposition Islamic party PAS called for a concert later this month by British superstar Elton John to be banned.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They said the openly gay singer promotes "hedonism" and that his sexual orientation would corrupt Muslims.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin was quoted earlier Thursday by Bernama as calling the gay-rights festival "immoral."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Any activity that does not benefit the majority of Malaysians should not be carried out. It's a waste of time, although they can say it's their own right and freedom," he said.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"That's why to me, it (the festival) is totally unsuitable and I don't know its benefits. I don't understand why they carry out such promotions. Is there any political agenda behind it?"</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Past festivals have included a mix of gay-themed film screenings, concerts, discussion forums on homosexual issues, and other events.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The police ban on the festival comes after Prime Minister Najib Razak -- who is expected to call fresh polls within months -- in September announced plans to expand civil liberties and break with the country's authoritarian past."</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.4995em; margin-bottom: 10px; text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">Syabas dan tahniah kepada polis Malaysia atas usaha kalian. Ini adalah kemenangan sesuatu kebenaran ke atas sesuatu kebatilan. Walaupun begitu, kita masih perlu berusaha dengan lebih gigih dalam menyedarkan golongan seperti ini. Marilah kita lihat beberapa <b><u>langkah yang boleh dipraktiskan</u></b> bagi merawat Iman yang sakit disebabkan oleh penyakit 'gayness' ini. </span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">3. <span class="Apple-style-span">Teaching him the <b>meaning of love
for the sake of Allaah.</b> Love a person for his faith and acts of obedience, not for
his appearance, image or status. </span></span></div>

Some people are organizing a festival called Seksualiti Merdeka 2011 which will be held on 1 Nov-13 Nov 2011. Shocked, upset, puzzled and now concerned about this matter. Saya dapat rasakan bahaya yang sangat dasyat sedang melanda kita semua di Malaysia. As a Muslim, Malay and living in the country where all these are happening, I felt responsible. If Allah sends punishment, who can guarantee that you and I are going to be safe from it? Minta Allah jauhkan. Let's ponder over these possible reasons which lead men to turn g**. As for he who </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">wants to save himself from this situation should examine these causes and rid himself of them.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> R</span>efer to detailed advice/consultation here:</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; font-family: inherit;"> </span></span><a href="http://islamqa.com/en/ref/101169">http://islamqa.com/en/ref/101169</a><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #666666;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><b>These reasons are;</b></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">1- Weakness of Imaan and remoteness of the heart from love of Allaah, and a lack of fear of His punishment.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">2- </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">Looking freely at beardless youths, and enjoying their beauty and form.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #444444;">3- Not fulfilling the obligatory acts of worships (5 times daily solah, Jum'ah prayer, fasting etc)</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">4- </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">Forsaking the Qur’aan and failing to read books about the lives of righteous men.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">5- </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">Falling short in seeking knowledge of Islam.</span></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">6- </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">A lot of spare time in their lives. </span></span><br />
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">If they kept themselves busy with acts of worship, sport, permissible actions and seeking knowledge, they would not have time to spend in thinking of haraam things, let alone doing them.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">7- Making friends and keeping company with bad people.</span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">One of the gravest mistakes is to think that there is no remedy for this disease, and that the homosexual can never become straight. Allaah told the people of Loot to repent, and the Prophet of Allaah Loot (peace be upon him) advised and invited them to give up their perversion. Allaah is the Creator of man, and He knows what can be changed in man and what cannot, so have more trust in Allah and sincerely ask Him for help.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">*This topic is quite 'heavy' for myself, but there's still one more thing I need to share. It's about the remedies for this matter. Percayalah, tiada penyakit yang tiada ubatnya. </span></div>Itminaanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15021021669348733242noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913519591629250136.post-47395645703594615922011-10-31T21:52:00.003+08:002011-10-31T22:22:34.809+08:00What is life all about?When I woke up this morning, I asked myself, “What is life
all about?”<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">I found the answer in my room. The fan said, “<b>BE COOL</b>.” The
ceiling said, “<b>AIM HIGH</b>”. The window said, “<b>SEE THE WORLD!</b>” The clock said “<b>EVERY
MINUTE IS PRECIOUS.</b>” The mirror said “<b>REFLECT BEFORE YOU ACT</b>.” The calendar said
“<b>BE UP TO DATE</b>.” The door said “<b>PUSH HARD FOR YOUR GOALS</b>.” The floor said, “<b>KNEEL
DOWN AND PRAY!</b>”</span><br />
<br />
Life is about controlling your temperament. So getting angry
too easily is not a good idea. Be cool, be more understanding. Over look people’s
mistakes and help each other to improve. There’s always a solution to a
problem. So don’t make it a big thing!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Life is about aiming high. Learn from people who are
successful. You wanna ace in your exam, learn from those who have aced the exam
before. And more importantly, you wanna ace your Akhirah life, you’ve gotta
read more stories of the pious because they have aced their life of Akhirat!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Tick tock tick tock and every minute is precious. When you
feel bored, instead of thinking of what you can do to ‘kill’ some time, why not
read 1 SUBHANALLAH while playing football? Your garden (Jannah) will be
decorated with 1 tree InsyaAllah. Or maybe LAA ILAHA ILLALLAH while jogging? Your sin is forgiven with every step you take. After all, you are a Muslim </span>athletic person right?<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Now girls....Mirror, mirror on the wall! Who’s the prettiest of all?!
Give some attention to your internal beauty while you care for your external
beauty. Have good character with parents, siblings, friends and co-workers
means no BENCI, no DENGKI, no BALAS DENDAM, no MENGUMPAT and lots more!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Nokia N9? iPad 2 ? Samsung Galaxy tablet? Be up to date with
the latest gadgets, fashion and music trends? Don’t worry about that so much people,
those things get out-dated too quickly. Rather up date yourself with knowledge
and ‘amal’ (practice). Are you still repeating the 4 QULS (Surah Ikhlas, Falaq,
Naas, and Kaafirun) in 5 times Solah? Whoa….that’s so out dated! </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Alright, you want to memorize few more Surahs? Now push hard
for your goal. Learn 1 new surah every week, or if you can’t do that, memorize 1 surah in one
month. Come on, we have 12 months in a year. If you are consistent, you’ll know
12 new surah every year, Subhanallah. This is not just a wishful thinking. Try
and you’ll see the result. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Nothing is ever too hard when we ask help from Allah the
Al-Mighty and Powerful. He will make impossible things become possible and
unimaginable conditions become reality.
So KNEEL DOWN AND PRAY to Allah and sincerely ask HIM to help us in
every aspect of our sweet and sour life!</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Many men are reluctant in helping around in the house. In-fact many people feel that they will lose their status as men by sweeping, washing dishes, doing laundry etc. However the practice of Rasulullah was contrary to this. The beloved wife, Aishah (r.a) narrated that </span><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #6aa84f;">“Rasulullah used to assist in household chores and when the time for salaah would approach, he would leave immediately for salaah.”</span></i></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 14px;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">1.

Humility will develop in us.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 14px;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">4. The bond between husband and wife strengthened. </span></span></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 17px;">Why not start with these simple tasks?</span></span><br />
<div style="line-height: 14px;">
<span style="line-height: 14px;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">1.

<span style="line-height: 14px;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">Men shouldn't have a very demanding nature. Instead of assisting with the children and household work, they demand attention for themselves. Yes, that is your right, but Rasulullah taught us the 'give and take' rule.This sunnah is in-fact a prescription to cure many of the ills which are so common in marriages today.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 14px;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><u>Lifestyle of the pious - Moulana Ashraf Ali Thaanwi (RA)</u><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: none;">;</span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 14px;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">He once said, “This is something that I don’t wish to mention, but due to necessity I am saying it. If you wish you can find out from my wife how I conduct myself with her at home and what service I take from her. Al-hamdulillah neither am I restricted, nor do I restrict anyone else. In this way, one lives like a king.”</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="line-height: 14px;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">It is always my practice that when I go home to eat and if there isn’t any fresh bread that has been baked then I eat the bread which was left over from the previous day. Most of the time when I arrive home and I see my wife engaged in some household work, I take the bread myself, fill the container with water, dish out the curry from the pot and sit down to eat. Actually if I see that she is busy cooking and she needs anything at that time, for example she needs water for cooking, I will fetch the water for her from the water pump and first give it to her.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="line-height: 14px;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">If I see that she is not busy doing any work then I will ask her to serve me. It is very important to be considerate in these aspects. After all, she also is a human being. It is not possible for her temperament to remain the same all the time. Even a servant feels lethargic at times.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="font-style: normal; line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="line-height: 14px;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">I do lots of work on my own and I don’t regard it as a burden. If she wants to be of any service to me, I allow her and I feel comforted that she is serving me. She also feels at ease when I am at ease. At nights I sleep very little but when I see my wife fast asleep, I thank Allah Ta’ala that she sleeps so well otherwise I would have been burdened with a double worry, one that I cannot sleep and the other that she cannot sleep.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 14px; margin-bottom: 1.35em; text-decoration: none;">
<span style="line-height: 14px;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">When I am about to leave the house, I ask her if there is anything that needs to be done before I go. If she doesn’t need anything, then I leave. If she indicated that there was some work to do, I would remain behind and complete the chore. For example, If there was a letter to write to someone, then I would complete writing it before leaving the house. After meals if I felt like eating some *<i>paan</i>, I would ask her where the container with the <i>paan </i>is kept. She would point it out to me and I would take out the <i>paan </i>and help myself.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 14px;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;">In present times the youngsters call their wives their life companions. What companionship are they talking about? Have they even fulfilled the rights of this companionship? This is mere lip service. Infact, instead of being their life companions they have distanced their wives because of their uncaring attitude. [misaali gharaana pg. 56]</span></span></span></div>

* Nota saya:</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Verdana; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; text-align: justify;">
Sebagai individu yang beragama Islam, kita memainkan peranan yang penting dalam hal pelupusan al-Qur'an ini. Sudah tentu sukar untuk kita pergi ke tempat pelupusan al-Quran yang terletak di Kuala Lumpur ini jika kita tinggal di suatu tempat yang jauh, dan naskah yang kita nak lupuskan itu hanyalah 1 naskah atau beberapa helai kertas. Eloknya, kita lakukan sahaja sendiri. Caranya mudah, jika kita punyai naskah al-Qur'an lama atau helaian kertas yang mengandungi ayat suci al-Qur'an hatta kalimah Allah sahaja pun, dan kita tidak lagi menggunakannya, janganlah kita sewenang-wenangnya buang ke dalam tong sampah. Sebaliknya, kita harus bakar, kemudian buang abunya ke dalam air laut atau sungai. Atau cara kedua; balut naskah al-Quran itu dengan kain bersih, kemudian tanamnya di tempat yang tidak dipijak oleh orang ramai yang lalu lalang. InsyaAllah kita dapat pahala sebab beradab dengan al-Qur'an dan nama Allah. Wassalam</div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
<u>Ocean of Dunya</u></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
No one likes to fall. And few people would ever choose to drown. But in struggling through the ocean of this life, sometimes it’s so hard not to let the world in. Sometimes the ocean does enter us. The <em style="font-style: italic;">dunya</em> does seep into our hearts.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
And like the water that breaks the boat, when <em style="font-style: italic;">dunya</em> enters, it shatters our heart. It shatters the boat. Recently, I was reminded of what a broken boat looks like, of what happens when you let everything in. I was reminded because I saw someone, just like me, fall in love too much with this life and seek to be filled by the creation. So the ocean of <em style="font-style: italic;">dunya</em> shattered her boat, as it had shattered mine, and she fell out into the water. But she stayed down too long, and didn’t know how to come back up or what to hold on to.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
So she drowned.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
If you allow <em style="font-style: italic;">dunya</em> to own your heart, like the ocean that owns the boat, it will take over. You <em style="font-style: italic;">will </em>sink down to the depths of the sea. You will touch the ocean floor. And you will feel as though you were at your lowest point. Entrapped by your sins and the love of this life, you will feel broken. Surrounded by darkness. That’s the amazing thing about the floor of the ocean. No light reaches it.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
But, this dark place is not the end. Remember that the darkness of night precedes the dawn. And as long as your heart still beats, this is not the death of it. You don’t have to die here. Sometimes, the ocean floor is only a stop on the journey. And it is when you are at this lowest point, that you are faced with a choice. You can stay there at the bottom, until you drown. Or you can gather pearls and rise back up—stronger from the swim, and richer from the jewels.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
If you seek Him, God can raise you up, and replace the darkness of the ocean, with the light of His sun. He can transform what was once your greatest weakness into your greatest strength, and a means of growth, purification and redemption. Know that transformation sometimes begins with a fall. So never curse the fall. The ground is where humility lives. Take it. Learn it. Breathe it in. And then come back stronger, humbler and more aware of your need for Him. Come back having seen your own nothingness and His greatness. Know that if you have seen that Reality, you have seen much. For the one who is truly deceived is the one who sees his own self—but not Him. Deprived is the one who has never witnessed his own desperate need for God. Reliant on his own means, he forgets that the means, his own soul, and everything else in existence are His creation.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Seek God to bring you back up, for when He does, He will rebuild your ship. The heart that you thought was forever damaged will be mended. What was shattered will be whole again. Know that only He can do this. Seek Him.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
And when He saves you, beg forgiveness for the fall, feel remorse over it—but not despair. As Ibn ul Qayyim (ra) has said: “Satan rejoiced when Adam (peace be upon him) came out of Paradise, but he did not know that when a diver sinks into the sea, he collects pearls and then rises again.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
There is a powerful and amazing thing about <em style="font-style: italic;">tawbah</em> (repentance) and turning back to Allah <em style="font-style: italic;">(</em>swt). We are told that it is a<em style="font-style: italic;">polish</em> for the heart. What’s amazing about a polish is that it doesn’t just clean. It makes the object that is polished even shinier than it was before it got dirty. If you come back to God, seek His forgiveness, and refocus your life and heart on Him, you have the potential to be even richer than if you’d never fallen at all. Sometimes falling and coming back up gives you wisdom and humility that you may never otherwise have had. Ibn ul Qayyim (ra) writes:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
“One of the Salaf (Pious Predecessors) said: “Indeed a servant commits a sin by which he enters Paradise; and another does a good deed by which he enters the Fire.” It was asked: How is that? So he replied: “The one who committed the sin, constantly thinks about it; which causes him to fear it, regret it, weep over it and feel ashamed in front of his Lord—the Most High—due to it. He stands before Allah, broken-hearted and with his head lowered in humility. So this sin is more beneficial to him than doing many acts of obedience, since it caused him to have humility and humbleness—which leads to the servant’s happiness and success—to the extent that this sin becomes the cause for him entering Paradise. As for the doer of good, then he does not consider this good a favor from his Lord upon him. Rather, he becomes arrogant and amazed with himself, saying: I have achieved such and such, and such and such. So this further increases him in self-adulation, pride and arrogance—such that this becomes the cause for his destruction.”</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
Allah (swt) reminds us in the Qur’an to never lose hope. He says: “Say, ‘O My servants who have transgressed against their souls [by sinning], despair not of the mercy of Allah. Indeed, Allah forgives all sins. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful,’” (<a href="http://quran.com/39/53" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 1px; color: #154a7f; font-weight: 700; text-decoration: none;">39:53</a>).</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
And so, this is a call to all those who have become enslaved by the tyranny of the self, imprisoned in the dungeon of the<em style="font-style: italic;">nafs</em> (self) and desires. It is a call to all those who have entered the ocean of <em style="font-style: italic;">dunya</em>, who have sunk into its depths, and become trapped by its crushing waves. Rise up. Rise up to the air, to the Real world above the prison of the ocean. Rise up to your freedom. Rise up and come back to life. Leave the death of your soul behind you. Your heart can still live and be stronger and purer than it ever was. Does not the polish of <em style="font-style: italic;">tawbah</em> remake the heart even more beautiful than it was? Remove the veil you have sewn with your sins. Remove the veil between you and Life, between you and Freedom, between you and Light—between you and God. Remove the veil and rise up. Come back to yourself. Come back to where you began. Come back Home. Know that when all the other doors have shut in your face, there is One that is always open. Always. Seek it. Seek Him and He will guide you through the waves of the cruel ocean, into the mercy of the sun.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
This world cannot break you—unless you give it permission. And it cannot own you unless you hand it the keys – unless you give it your heart. And so, if you have handed those keys to <em style="font-style: italic;">dunya</em> for a while—take them back. This isn’t the End. You don’t have to die here. Reclaim your heart and place it with its rightful owner:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">
God.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">

Suatu ketika ada teman yang mengucapkan syukran ke saya. Kemudian saya jawab sesuai dengan kebiasaan orang Arab dengan kata ‘afwan. Sesaat kemudian, teman saya itu bertanya, “Kok minta maaf, din?”… (‘afwan = maaf). Saya menjelaskan kalo orang Arab diberik ucapan syukran, maka jawabannya adalah ‘afwan. hehe…teman saya terkekeh.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ada yang bisa kita pelajari dari kebiasaan orang Arab ini. Ketika diucapkan padanya kata Syukran maka jawabannya adalah ‘Afwan. Mereka masih merasa perlu meminta maaf ketika sudah berbuat baik kepada seseorang. Mereka merasa bahwa seharusnya masih bisa melakukan lebih daripada itu, namun yang dilakukan hanya sebatas itu. Sehingga masih merasa perlu mengucap kata ‘Afwan.<span id="more-991" style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></span></div>

Bingung ya? Saya juga bingung gimana mau ngejelasinnya… <img alt=":D" class="wp-smiley" src="http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif?m=1307715915g" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;" /><br />

Langsung ke contoh aja deh..</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
‘Ali memberi ‘Umar makanan berupa nasi goreng (di Arab ada nasi goreng ga ya? nasgor kan dari China). Kemudian ‘Umar berucap “<em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Syukran wa jazaakallah.</em>” ‘Ali karena merasa seharusnya mampu memberikan lebih daripada nasi goreng mengucapkan, “<em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Afwan wa iyyaka</em>.”</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Yah, semoga dari contoh itu bisa ditangkap isi pesannya.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br />
Begitulah kurang lebih konsep syukran dan ‘afwan. Tidak seperti orang Indonesia yang kalo diucapkan padanya terima kasih, maka jawabannya adalah sama-sama. Seolah dia memang pantas untuk mendapatkan ucapan terima kasih itu. Yang dilakukan orang Indonesia ini sama dengan yang dilakukan oleh orang yang menggunakan bahasa Inggris.<em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Thank You</em>, maka jawabannya adalah <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">you’re welcome</em> atau <em style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: italic; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">doesn’t mind</em>.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Saya lebih sepakat dengan kebiasaan orang Arab mengenai konsep terima kasih ini.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Satu hal lagi, orang Arab atau orang yang menggunakan bahasa Arab, sangat senang sekali dalam tutur katanya mendoakan orang lain. Misalnya dalam pengumuman hasil ujian. Maka selain Lulus, istilah lainnya adalah bukan Tidak Lulus, melainkan Semoga Allah Mengizinkan di lain waktu.<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Sungguh indah sekali jika kita senang menebar doa kepada lawan bicara kita dalam keseharian kita.</div>
<div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-style: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.5em; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
Baarokallahu fiik bagi yang membaca tulisan ini. Semoga bermanfaat.<br />

<br />
1. Keep Away from Ma'aasi (acts of disobedience).<br />
2. Avoid eating too much food.<br />
3. Drink one or two glasses of water before going to bed.<br />
4. Perform Wudoo (ablution) before going to bed.<br />
5. Go to bed early.<br />
6. Make intention in your heart to get up for Fajr/Tahajjud.<br />
7. Set your alarm.<br />
8. Establish Fajr/Tahajjud wake up calling system with family and friends e.g. friends/family members calling, texting etc each other to help one another wake up for the prayer.<br />
9. Say prescribed supplications (dua) before sleeping<br />
10. Once awake, do not linger lazily in bed.<br />
11. Go to your local masjid to pray<br />
<br />
Also... one thing that helps that I do when I study late, or am up until the early morning, is to put my alarm clock (which is very loud) in the bathroom... thus forcing me to get up to go to the bathroom to shut it off. While you're in the bathroom, just splash yourself with water and voila! You are awake and ready for Fajr.<br />
<br />
Okay... so you dont have to do the splashing part, but try it.. it works Inshallah.<br />
<br />
And the above 2 advices above about staying away from sins and sleeping early is very important. It is from the Rizq (provision/bounty) of Allah that He allows you to get up for Fajr and especially Tahajjud, and when you start sinning He may deprive you from turning to Him at Fajr/Tahajjud due to your sins and having turned away from Him. May Allah swt protect us all and grant us forgiveness and abundant tawfiq. Ameen!</span>Itminaanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15021021669348733242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913519591629250136.post-19557393001475906892011-08-27T09:54:00.002+08:002011-12-18T21:57:13.156+08:00Successful Husband? Beautiful Tips!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"></span><br />

<b><span style="color: teal; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'; font-size: 16pt;">How to be a Successful Husband</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">

<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br />
</span></span></span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><span style="color: #cc0000;">10 Beautiful Tips!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><br />
1. Dress up for your wife, look clean and smell good. Just like the husband wants his wife to look nice for him, she also wants her husband to dress up for her too. Remember that Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - would always start with Miswak when returning home and always loved the sweetest smells.</span><br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><br />
</span></div>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">2. Use the cutest and affectionate names for your wife. Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - had names for his wives, ones that they loved. Call your wife by the most beloved names to her, and avoid using names that hurt their feelings.<br />
<br />
3. Don't treat her like a fly. We never think about a fly in our daily lives until it 'bugs' us. Similarly, a wife will do well all day - which brings no attention from the husband - until she does something to 'bug' him. Don't treat her like this; recognize all the good that she does and focus on that.<br />
<br />
4. If you see wrong from your wife, try being silent and do not comment! This is one of the ways Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - used when he would see something inappropriate from his wives - radi Allahu 'anhunn. It's a technique that few Muslim men have mastered. If there needs correction an the matter is serious then think before you act. ALWAYS use Hikmah(wisdom).<br />
<br />
5. Smile at your wife whenever you see her and embrace her often. Smiling is Sadaqah and your wife is not exempt from the Muslim Ummah. Imagine life with her constantly seeing you smiling. Remember also those Ahadith when Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - would kiss his wife before leaving for Salah.<br />
<br />
6. Thank her for all that she does for you. Then thank her again! Take for example a dinner at your house. She makes the food, cleans the home, and a dozen other tasks to prepare. And sometimes the only acknowledgement she receives is that there needed to be more salt in the soup. Don't let that be; thank her!<br />
<br />
7. Ask her to write down the last ten things you did for her that made her happy. Then go and do them again. It may be hard to recognize what gives your wife pleasure. You don't have to play a guessing game, ask her and work on repeating those times in your life.<br />
<br />
8. Don't be little her desires. Comfort her. Sometimes the men may look down upon the requests of their wives. Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam set the example for us in an incident when Safiyyah - radi Allahu 'anha - was crying because, as she said, he had put her on a slow camel. He wiped her tears, comforted her, and brought her the camel.<br />
<br />
9. Be humorous and Play games with your wife. Look at how Rasul Allah - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam - would race his wife Aisha - radi Allahu 'anha - in the desert. When was the last time we did something like that?<br />
<br />
10. Always remember the words of Allah's Messenger - sal Allahu alayhi wa sallam: "The best of you are those who treat their families the best. And I am the best amongst you to my family." Try to be the best!<br />
</span><span style="color: teal; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">In conclusion: Never forget to make Dua to Allah - azza wa jall - to make your marriage successful. And Allah ta'ala knows best !!</span>Itminaanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15021021669348733242noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913519591629250136.post-39307577851844245582011-08-27T09:49:00.003+08:002011-09-26T14:38:24.331+08:00Forgiveness: Its Something Extra Special!!!<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">Pernah tak bergaduh dengan adik? Ya, ADIK. Gaduh dengan adik ni lain sikit bagi saya. Kalau saya bergaduh or tak puas hati dengan kakak saya, senang je nak mengalah sebab hormat pada kakak yang lebih tua. Tapi kalau berselisih pendapat dengan adik, susah sikit nak mengalah, especially bila dia yang salah, kita nasihat dia tapi dia degil tak nak dengar dan tak nak ikut. Jadi kalau bergaduh tu....SUSAHnya Ya Allah nak minta maaf! ( but I really don't like fights). Sebagai seorang kakak, memang rasa nak beralah. Mungkin boleh cuba nasihat dia lain kali dengan cara lain. Tapi, disebabkan kita tak bersalah, dan kita lebih tua.......2 sebab utama saya rasa susah nak kata "I'M SORRY". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">Now, dapat pula adik yang ada 'strong character'. Miracle la kalau dia yang mengalah and say "I'M SORRY". Kesimpulannya, sorang degil sorang lagi ego. (oops!)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS';">Tapi masa bulan Ramadhan, kita digalakkan berdoa' dan minta ampun pada Allah atas dosa-dosa kita yang lepas. Masa tengah doa tu, tiba-tiba teringat yang saya tak bercakap dengan adik saya dah lama. Saya rasa....agaknya Allah terima tak doa saya ni? Allah suruh kita jaga hubungan dengan Nya dan hubungan dengan manusia yang lain, apatah lagi keluarga sendiri. Hari demi hari, perasaan bersalah dan sedih makin menebal dalam hati. Sampai satu hari, saya betul-betul azam nak cari sesuautu yang boleh pecahkan ego saya ni. Cari punya cari, inilah dia...article yang saya terima dalam bentuk email bulan Ramadhan hari tu. Bila baca ni, saya pun "BAIK! Saya akan minta maaf (salah ke tak salah, itu belakang kira...) sebab, orang yang maafkan kesalahan orang lain, Allah akan tinggikan darjatnya...Jadi kalau saya tak salah, tapi saya minta maaf, maknanya...saya maafkan pihak yang lagi satu....Bacalah article ni, jadikan panduan untuk minta maaf atau memaafkan orang lain...</span></div>

5:00 a.m - Prepare for Sahur, Sahur, Wash dishes (basuh pinggan + kemas meja)<br />
6:00 a.m - Subuh Solah, Qur'an (1 Juzu' and Yaseen)<br />
7:00 a.m - Sleep<br />
8:00 a.m - Wake Up, prepare for Tadarus<br />
9:00 a.m - Tadarus at the Surau<br />
12:30 p.m - Rest (Qailullah/Siesta)<br />
1:20 p.m - Zohor Solah, Qur'an (1 Juzu')<br />
2:15 p.m - FREE<br />
4:30 p.m - Asar Solah<br />
5:00 p.m- House chores<br />
6:15 p.m - Prepare for Iftaar<br />
7:15 p.m - Doa ( spend more time making dua, because the dua of a fasting person is not rejected by Allah)<br />
- Iftaar<br />
7:45 p.m - Maghrib Solah<br />
7:55 p.m - Ta'leem (Fadhai'l A'maal) / or any ilmi activity.<br />
8:10 p.m - Surah Lazim (Al-Mulk and Al-Waqiah)<br />
8:40 p.m - Isha' and Taraweeh solah ( try your best to perform 20 rakaats)<br />
10:15 p.m - I normally finish around this time. But if I go out somewhere during the day, then at night I'm usually tired, so Taraweeh will finish a bit later.<br />
10:30 p.m - Qur'an (1 Juzu')<br />
11:00 p.m - Bed time<br />
<br />
How do I encourage myself to perform 20 rakaat of taraweeh?<br />
<br />
1- It's the reward. Lagi lama kita dalam solat, lagi banyak pahala InsyaAllah. Malaikat doa kan rahmah untuk seseorang itu selagi dia berada dalam solah di tempat solatnya (sejadah/masjid etc)<br />
2- Malam Ramadhan dr lepas Isya' sampai sebelum Sahur tu ( lbh kurang 7 jam) dikhaskan untuk Ibadah, kita banyak sangat masa....Jadi gunalah dgn sebaiknya.<br />
<br />
Taraweeh is one of the highlights of Ramadhan besides 'buka puasa'. We should be excited to perform taraweeh just as excited we are to break our fast....You know how excited everybody gets when it comes to buka puasa right? A tip to perform 20 rakaat of taraweeh is getting enough rest during the day. If you rest during the day with the intention to gain strength for solah during the night, then that rest also is rewarded!<br />
<br />
Well, this is how I manage my time during Ramadhan (especially when it's holiday for me), as you can see, there's nothing work related activity in the schedule. If we lessen the time we spend to go shopping, internet and television, we should be able to read at least 3 Juzu's EVERYDAY. Completing one whole Qur'an twice in one month won't sound so impossible anymore right? Like I said, AT LEAST. The huffaz normally Complete the Qur'an more than 5 times and even more in this month alone. Subhanallah! I'm still very weak compare to these people, however we try our best according to our capability nah? Good luck everyone!Itminaanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15021021669348733242noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913519591629250136.post-54972339794821432572011-08-22T13:44:00.002+08:002011-09-06T22:18:17.545+08:00Muslim Manga<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"><b>Read Islamic Manga</b></span> at <a href="http://muslim-manga.com/">Muslim Manga</a>!</span><br />

I'm not telling you to waste your time, but perhaps you can use it as a stepping stone towards leaving the habit/hobby of reading romance novels, watching non-mahram men/ women over the television and listening to music. Whether it's K-Pop, J-Pop or any of those similar ones...........Really, I understand the feeling of being addicted to those influences and how difficult t is to stop, it requires a lot of effort and strong determination to stop watching and listening to music.<br />
<br />
People tell me, you must listen to Quran, Asma'ul Husna, and Zikr, but trust me, how can you possibly skip the breast stroke basics of swimming and go straight to BUTTERFLY? When you erase a black colour, the black shade fades away to grey first, then to white (completely gone). It's not BLACK to WHITE in one step.<br />
<br />
What I'm trying to say is, listening to any kind of music, Korean, Japanese, Lady Gaga or even Justin Bieber's is not Islamic, and against the Syariah (I'm not going to explain the dalils in this post, if you want, then InsyaAllah I'm more than happy and willing to explain). We have to try and break ourselves away from them slowly but surely, taking one step at a time.<br />
<br />
This KJT (made my own short formed of Korean, Japanese and Taiwanese) phenomena is a disaster to not just our Muslim youth, but the older generation too. It kills me to see so many and so many of my friends, and other people around me all over the places in Malaysia, so blinded by these people. So again, this website is not to waste our time, but to slowly draw ourselves out from this crazy craze. Maybe from watching too much dramas on You Tube or televisions, you switch to these comics first, then another step. Cute stories with good morals these comics have. And aren't those actors and actresses non mahram from whom we are supposed to lower our gazes? Instead what we do is staring and admiring them too much?!Itminaanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15021021669348733242noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6913519591629250136.post-5222300208518625262011-08-16T11:03:00.001+08:002011-08-22T14:43:47.033+08:00Starbucks is Not Halal<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #611218; font-family: 'century gothic'; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px;"></span><br />

<br />
Suria Wholesaler has claimed that its malt beverage, Barbican, imported from Dubai, the United Arab Emirates, has been sold here for eight years and does not contain alcohol.<br />
<br />
"We have never marketed Barbican or other beverages as 'halal beer'. Barbican is a malt beverage.<br />
<br />
"The alcohol content in Barbican is nil. Barbican has been sold in Arab countries, especially in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, for the past 25 years."<br />
<br />
"The word 'beer' is not even on the product," said its director Ahmad al-Yatem.<br />
<br />
It was reported on Tuesday that samples of a "halal beer" tested by the Islamic Development Department of Malaysia (Jakim) showed that <u>it contained 0.5 per cent alcohol.</u> The permissible level is <u>below 0.01 per cent</u>.<br />
Jakim also said it had <u>never issued halal certificates</u> for such beverages because they did not meet the 1500:2009 halal standards.<br />
<br />
The halal certificate by Jakim is the standard document for all halal food products in the country.<br />
Ahmad claimed that Barbican had halal certification from the Islamic Food Research Centre Malaysia and Asia Region (IFRC) and had been checked by the Royal Malaysian Customs Department.<br />
<br />
"We welcome Malaysian authorities to test our products. We are Muslims and we care for our customers. We will not sell anything that is haram."<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, in Terengganu, Satiman Jamin reported regular consumers of another brand of non-alcoholic beverage were shocked when they saw a report that the beverage had alcohol.<br />
<br />
The package says "Barbican - Non alcoholic Malt beverage"</span><br />

Jadi orang Islam yang taat pada perintah Allah, Allah suruh tinggal ARAK di dunia, tinggalkan....Allah bagi ganjaran di Akhirat nanti. Minum kat dunia, sat lagi kat Akhirat?
