missing u....

I miss you,
I miss the loud music coming
from your room,
I miss the warmth of knowing
You're just a call away,
I miss the way we fought and
played,
I miss seeing your big bright
smile,
I miss getting kicked out of
your room,
I miss seeing you here and
there,
I miss cooking you breakfast
lunch and dinner,
I miss hearing you come in
at night,
I miss making you wear your
seat belt,
I miss holding your hand to
pray,
I miss your smell,
I miss you with all my might,
I miss the way we would fight,
I miss my brother,
I miss my friend,
I miss you &
will forever love you

please come home

Please come home,
I miss you so.
More then you could,
Possibly know.

Things have changed,
Since you've been gone.
No one to talk to
And no shoulder to cry on.

Our family and your friends
We all cried so much.
We miss you and your laugh
You're voice and soft touch.

I miss you and your smile.
I could add to this list,
Of everything I miss,
But there's no end, it doesn't exist.

I wish I could see you,
Just one last chance,
To see you smile,
Even if its just a glance.

I wish I could tell you
How much you meant to me
Just one last time,
Before you were set free.

You have a place in my heart
I love you now, I love you still
I always have
And always will

never borrow from the future...NEVER!

An Angel says, 'Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'

1. Go to bed on time.
2 Get up on time so you can start the day unrushed.
3. Say No to projects that won't fit into your time schedule, or that will compromise your mental health.
4. Delegate tasks to capable others.
5. Simplify and un clutter your life.
6. Less is more. (Although one is often not enough, two are often too many.)
7. Allow extra time to do things and to get to places.
8. Pace yourself. Spread out big changes and difficult projects over time; don't lump the hard things all together.
9. Take one day at a time.
10. Separate worries from concerns . If a situation is a concern, let go of the anxiety . If you can't do anything about a situation, forget it.
11. Live within your budget; don't use credit cards for ordinary purchases.
12.. Have backups; an extra car key in your wallet, an extra house key buried in the garden, extra stamps, etc.
13. K.M.S. (Keep Mouth Shut). This single piece of advice can prevent an enormous amount of trouble.
14. Do something for the Kid in You everyday.
15. Carry a book with you to read while waiting in line( for muslim fellows a mini mus'haf should always be with you.
16. Get enough rest.
17. Eat right.
18. Get organized so everything has its place.
19. Listen to a tape (for muslims preferable Qoran )while driving that can help improve your quality of life.
20. Write down thoughts and inspirations.
21. Every day, find time to be alone.
22. Having problems? Talk to someone. Try to nip small problems in the bud. Don't wait until it's time to go to bed.
23. Make friends.
24. Laugh.
25. Laugh some more!
26 Take your work seriously, but not yourself at all.
27. Develop a forgiving attitude (most people are doing the best they can).
28. Be kind to unkind people (they probably need it the most).
29. Sit on your ego.
30 Talk less; listen more.
31. Slow down.
32. Remind yourself that you are not the general manager of the universe.
33. Every night before bed, think of one thing you're grateful for that you've never been grateful for before. IT MAY HAVE A WAY OF TURNING THINGS AROUND FOR YOU.

because we are muslims

seriously, this story has never failed to make me teary-eyed.....

Once upon a time, long long ago, in a faraway land (Madinah) during Amirul Mu'minin Umar Al-Khattab's Caliphate, a boy had came travelling to Madinah with his camel.

Along his journey, he had to rest and sleep, while his camel goes grazing, unfortunately, in another fella's land.

That fella turns out to be an old man who wasn't that happy. The old man throw a stone to the camel, causing it to be injured and die.

As the boy wakes up, seeing his camel in that condition, he became too angry and upset, throwing the stone back to the old man. The old man bleeds and died due to it.

The boy was uncomfortable with his action and waited at the spot until 2 men appeared, the 2 men turns out to be the sons of the old man. They too weren't happy and thus, brought the boy to see the Caliph, which was Umar Al-Khattab.

During the proceding, Umar(ra) asked the boy whether he did or did not kill the old man. The boy confessed, however, he was sorry as it wasn't his intention, but was out of rage. Howevver, the boy still had to be punished by Qisas, blood with blood.

This boy, however, asked if the execution could be postponed, as he is an orphan and he has a younger brother back home. His father has entrusted wealth to him, thus, he'll have to go back and make sure that his brother gets the wealth.

Umar(ra) was ready to grant him the postponement, with a condition, that he is to find a guarantor.

As the boy was a traveller, and no one in Madinah had seen him before, people were looking down at the earth, people aren\'t willing as the consequence would be that their head to be sacrificed. No one was looking up, he had to screen through the crowd for someone who's willing.

Suddenly, a hand showed up, and guess whose hand was it? It was Abu Dzar Al-Ghifari's.

So, the boy was released to finish with his business.

The first day, people had already begin to wait, but there were no signs of him.

The second day, people started to become anxious.

The third day came, there was still no news about the boy. People became more anxious and  started to get worried. Would it really be Abu Dzar's head tha\'s going to be chopped off?

The day was passing by, hours by hours.

It was past Dzuhur..
Past Asar..
Maghrib is nearing..

And that's the boy!!!(with his brother...)
The boy was running towards Abu Dzar(ra). Then Abu Dzar(ra) told him, the day hasn't ended, Maghrib hasn\t come. So, Abu Dzar(ra) and the 2 boys came to Umar(ra).

Umar(ra) was surprised that the boy showed up. So he asked him:

" Why had you come back, you know that I would not send anyone to chase after you? "

What was the boys' answer?

He said: " Oh Amirul Mu'mineen, my reason is simple. I didn't want anyone to say that a Muslim was irresponsible and had not fulfill his words. How can I let someone who was willing to be my guarantor, be killed because of me?"

Subhaanallah..Umar(ra) was amazed. He then turned to Abu Dzar (ra) as to why had he accepted the responisibility, as Abu Dzar barely knew the boy, and that it could cost him his head.

What did Abu Dzar (ra) say?
"I did it because I didnt want people to say that a Muslim had asked for help, and no Muslims were willing to help him. Even if it has caused my life, I would be a martyr, as I was innocent."

Umar(ra) was amazed, however, the execution would still have to go on.

The air was still again. A pious boy is to be killed.

Suddenly..
The brothers then came up and asked the boy to be relieved as they had pardoned him.

Allahuakbar!!!

People began to get confused, Umar(ra) then asked the brothers why had they suddenly changed their decision?
The brothers said:

" We didn't want people to say that a Muslim has asked for forgiveness from another Muslim, and he was not forgiven."

Joy filled the air. Joy in the sound of takbir and tahmid.

p/s: i'm striving the be that muslim..insyaAllah

ujian: musibah atau rahmat?

Tidak ada ujian yang Allah turunkan kat kite yg kite x mampu nk handle...

Allah bagi ujian tu sbb Dia sayang kt kita kan? Sbb Allah rindu sgt kt kita....nak dengar suara kita bercakap dengan Dia, rindu segala amal baik yang kita buat untuk Dia, rindu nk tgk kita dgn rendah diri sujud di tikar sejadah untuk memohon pertolongan....

kenapa la kita ni senang sgt lupa kat Allah sampaikan Dia perlu menurunkan kesusahan atau dugaan dlm hidup, barulah kita terkial-kial nak merayu padaNya.....

i learnt this the hard way.....and still am learning...

but remember, don't despair and never lose hope....jgn igt once u get into trouble, its the end of the world...Allah is always there to help and guide you through it if u ask and put full trust in Him with all tour heart....

walaupun ditimpa kesusahan, be grateful...say Alhamdulillah....think about other people who has bigger and worse problems than what u have...insyaAllah, by doing so, you will have much gratitude to Allah

obstacles does not mean that its punishment....tu la mentality yang most of us have....sbb tu kite senang jauh dari Allah..why? sbb kadang2 kita rasa, kita dh buat baik dah tp Allah still bagi kesusahan...jgn fikir mcm tu...nanti kite senang putus asa dgn Allah...

instead think of it as a blessing...we might not see it yet but there is a silver lining somewhere somehow....Allah created us, so of course He knows what is best for us....who are we to think that this thing is good for us but that thing is bad for us...what do we know? we don't even have the nearest answer to most medical problems within our own body...

enough chatter, lets remember Allah in every single breath that we take and be grateful with everything that you have in life...

this is a reminder for all of us especially to myself

Ramadhan, perkataan yang tersirat....

just read this from a blog...very interesting....

Ra – Mim – Dhod – Alif – Nun

Tersirat daripada perkataan huruf RA-MA-D-A-N



Ra – adalah Rahmah

Bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan rahmah. Didalamnya dilimpahi dengan pelbagai kerahmatan dan kenikmatan yang tidak terhitung untuk hamba-hamba Allah SWT dan seluruh manusia.

Mim – adalah Maghfirah ( Keampunan)

Bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan keampunan. Allah SWT membuka ruang dan pintu keampunan seluas-luasnya bagi hambaNya yang memohon keampunan serta menginsafi diri di setiap detik di dalam bulan Ramadhan.

Dari Abu Hurairah telah bersabda Rasulullah SAW yang bermaksud :

“ Sesiapa yang berpuasa di bulan Ramadhan berdasarkan iman dan penuh kesedaran mengharapkan Allah maka diampuni dosa-dosa yang terdahulu sebagaimana hari dilahirkan oleh ibunya.” ( HR Ibnu Khuzaimah)



Dhod – adalah Dhoman ( Jaminan)

Bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan yang diberikan jaminan oleh Allah SWT sebagai bulan yang akan memberikan seribu kebaikan dan ganjaran Syurga bagi sesiapa yang menggunakan kesempatan ini dengan sebaiknya. Jaminan ini adalah jaminan yang tiada tandingannya berbanding bulan-bulan yang lain.

Alif – adalah Amana

Bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan keamanan, ketenangan dan kebahagiaan. Hati dan jiwa kita benar-benar tenang dengan kehadiran dan perasaan nyaman serta tenteram selalu menyelubungi sanubari kita sepanjang berada di dalam bulan yang penuh keberkatan ini. Inilah kehebatan dan keunikan Ramadhan.

Nun – adalah Nur

Bulan Ramadhan adalah bulan yang sentiasa dilimpahi dengan cahaya hidayah dan keimanan daripada Allah SWT. Bagi yang mencintai dan merindui kehadiran bulan yang penuh kerahmatan ini, akan menyedarikan bahawa sinar Ramadhan adalah sinar yang terang benderang memberi pengharapan dan kekuatan kepada jiwa untuk berusaha bersungguh-sungguh bagi melahirkan seorang mukmin muslim yang bertaqwa dalam erti kata yang sebenarnya.

Firman Allah SWT yang bermaksud :

“ Pada bulan Ramadhan diturunkan kitab suci Al-Quran sebagai petunjuk bagi manusia dan penjelasan-penjelasan mengenai petunjuk itu, dan garis pemisah antara hak dan yang batil.” [ Al- Baqarah (2) : 185]



Jika bulan Ramadhan datang, Rasulullah SAW biasanya menyambut dengan ucapan :

“ Selamat Datang Wahai orang yang menyucikan.”

Para sahabat bertanya :

“ Siapakah orang yang menyucikan itu wahai Rasulullah ?”

Baginda menjawab :

“ Orang yang menyucikan itu ialah bulan Ramadhan. Ia menyucikan kita daripada segala dosa dan maksiat!.”

last minute solah

He remembered his grandmother' s warning about praying on time:

'My son, you shouldn't leave prayer to this late time'.

His grandmother' s age was 70 but, whenever she heard the Adhan, she got up like an arrow and performed the Solat.

He, however could never win over his ego to get up and pray.

Whatever he did, his Solat was always the last to be offered and he prayed it quickly to get it in on time.

Thinking of this, he got up and realized that there were only 15 minutes left before Salat-ul Isha'.

He quickly made Wudhu and performed Salat-ul Maghrib.

While making Tasbih, he again remembered his grandmother and was embarrassed by how he had prayed.

His grandmother prayed with such tranquillity and peace.

He began making Dua and went down to make Sajdah and stayed like that for a while.

He had been at work all day and was tired, very tired.

He awoke abruptly to the sound of noise and shouting.

He was sweating profusely. He looked around. It was very crowded.

Every direction he looked in was filled with people.

Some stood frozen looking around, some were running left and right and some were on their knees with their heads in their hands just waiting.

Pure fear and apprehension filled him as he realized where he was. His heart was about to burst.

It was the Day of Judgment.

When he was alive, he had heard many things about the questioning on the Day of Judgment, but that seemed so long ago.

Could this be something his mind made up?

No, the wait and the fear were so great that he could not have imagined this.

The interrogation was still going on.

He began moving frantically from people to people to ask if his name had been called. No one could answer him.

All of a sudden his name was called and the crowd split into two and made a passageway for him.

Two angels grabbed his arms and led him forward. He walked with unknowing eyes through the crowd. The angels brought him to the centre and left him there.

His head was bent down and his whole life was passing in front of his eyes like a movie.

He opened his eyes but saw only another world.

The people were all helping others.

He saw his father running from one lecture to the other, spending his wealth in the way of Islam.

His mother invited guests to their house and one table was being set while the other was being cleared.

He pleaded his case, 'I too was always on this path. I helped others. I spread the word of Allah. I performed my Salah. I fasted in the month of Ramadhan.'

'Whatever Allah ordered us to do, I did.'

'Whatever he ordered us not to do, I did not.'

He began to cry and think about how much he loved Allah.

He knew that whatever he had done in life would be less than what Allah deserved and his only protector was Allah He was sweating like never before and was shaking all over.

His eyes were fixed on the scale, waiting for the final decision. At last, the decision was made.

The two angels with sheets of paper in their hands, turned to the crowd.

His legs felt like they were going to collapse. He closed his eyes as they began

To read the names of those people who were to enter Jahannam.

His name was read first.

He fell on his knees and yelled that this couldn't be,

'How could I go to Jahannam? I served others all my life, I spread the word of Allah

to others.'

His eyes had become blurry and he was shaking with sweat.

The two angels took him by the arms.

As his feet dragged, they went through the crowd and advanced toward

the blazing flames of Jahannam.

He was yelling and wondered if there was any person who was going to help him.

He was yelling of all the good deeds he had done, how he had helped his father, his fasts, prayers, the Noble Qur'an that he read, he was asking if none of them would help him.

The Jahannam angels continued to drag him.

They had gotten closer to the Hellfire.

He looked back and these were his last pleas.

Had not Rasulullah [PBUH] said, 'How clean would a person be who bathes in a river five times a day, so too does the Salah performed five times cleanse someone of their sins?'

He began yelling, 'My prayers? My prayers? My prayers?'

The two angels did not stop, and they came to the edge of the abyss of Jahannam.

The flames of the fire were burning his face.

He looked back one last time, but his eyes were dry of hope and he had nothing left in him.

One of the angels pushed him in.

He found himself in the air and falling towards the flames.

He had just fallen five or six feet when a hand grabbed him by the arm and pulled him back.

He lifted his head and saw an old man with a long white beard.

He wiped some dust off himself and asked him, 'Who are you?'

The old man replied, 'I am your prayers.'

'Why are you so late?! I was almost in the Fire! You rescued me at the

last minute before I fell in.'

The old man smiled and shook his head, 'You always performed me at the

last minute, did you forget?'

At that instant, he blinked and lifted his head from Sajdah. He was in a sweat. He listened to the voices coming from outside.

He heard the Adhan for Salat-ul Isha.

He got up quickly and went to perform Wudhu.

Pass this on to your friends and family......

Maybe, you can help someone open their eyes.

And who knows?

Maybe, this is a good deed that can help you during The Day of Judgment. INSHA-ALLAH
