MP3

In The Name of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

Assalamualaikum WBT

Dear all,

i just lost my mp3!

this is not the first time i lost mp3s, and i have lost many things before this, you name it, wrist watches, rings etc..but why am i so sad tonight?

its because of that particular mp3 is full with Imam Anwar Awlaki lectures on seerah Muhammad Rasulullah (peace be upon him) and other general lectures on various topics. i had sacrificed my sleeps to download most of his lectures and put it as mandatory for me to listen to them while driving or doing other activities that dont require me to talk or to listen.

anyway, i hope who ever finds it on the street or anywhere, please listen to all the lectures by him and try to appreciate his beautiful talks and radical views. i hope the new owner would benefit from the lectures, spiritually.

nevertheless, it feels lot better imagining someone who found it, adapting what he hears from the mp3 into his daily life.

as for now, i will force myself to sleep since there is no use to plug the earphone to my ears... *sigh*

Cheated

In The Name of Allah The Most Beneficent The Most Merciful

Assalamualaikum WBT

Dear Valued Readers,

just want to share with all of you, that, lately i just deeply realized that i had been fooled by this so called globalization system and proclaimed modernity. not that i just knew it, the stone of 'alarm' has landed on my head, giving me a big knock to wake me up from my complaisant sleeps.

i know all along about it, but it didnt really click in my heart that i actually am living in this rotting life, and worse of, unconsciously assisting the system . bit by bit, it has made me think that being liberal in some aspect is acceptable, and being straight in some aspect, is considered as extreme...i have been living in this kind of understanding and when people say that God doesnt understand the needs of His creation, we muslims all, zipped up their mouth and nodded agreeing to all the human made policies...what are we in the eyes of the Creator then? are we not in shame and humiliation even though we didnt say NO? they say that ignorance is a bliss, but for me, it is definitely a betrayal towards the oath we made 5 times a day to our Lord.

i know its easy to say, but its not impossible to start fixing things and to do the undone/incomplete works for, at least to start with within me. i know its hard to do, some involved personal interests, and aims..but as far as preparing my home in the hereafter is concerned, i think this should be put priority.

so, 2012....here i come, and lets us all use this dunya to build our home in the akhirah. insyaAllah.

Secret of the Soul

Assalamualaikum my valued readers,

i have been very busy lately but Alhamdulillah, life goes on as usual.

These few days, my nights are more livelier for i found a speaker, who spoke his mind, and for me, having one of the most beautiful mind among men who have unique way of thinking. i am listening to his talks over youtube and his channel and pray for Allah SWT blessing be upon this extraordinary, radical speaker, who only speaks the truth.

others speak for fame, whereby he 'spat' pearls.

Enjoy While You Can

Assalamualaikum & hi to all,

I called my client today, telling him that his company's certificate is ready and asked him to come to the office to collect it. in less than 10 minutes he stood in front of my office door with one glittering smile. he is dealing with cattle live stock supplies, and that certificate means a lot to him, ok lets skip that.
 
we talked about how the RM250 million government money being unethically used for some investment that benefits NOT the people, but some individuals and their family, just like what happened in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya and others. this is not new among the proclaimed muslim countries, and what is now, its not surprising at all. am i envy? NO! RM250 million is nothing when Allah SWT owns a planet that made of diamond! MasyaALlah!!

so, about this peoples money RM250 million, am i angry? YES

on the second thought, maybe i should PITY them all. why? lets go back to the basic principals. nobody lives forever and when we die, we bring nothing with us, except our good deeds (if the deeds were accepted by Allah SWT). i pity them of the liability carried, until the day, all mouths and tongues are sealed and frozen. what would their answers be? well, talking about now, is there a need to have any fear when all the power, security and money is in their possession? so as far as having a life be enjoyed lavishly is concerned, nothing is to be worried about... Afterall, God is most forgiving, so why not commit as much sins as we can and repent when the death angel comes to say hi. i wish them good luck then!

people say, its easy to talk, but when we are being 'tested'..we ourselves might change 'our color'. i pray to Allah SWT to guide me if lets say, one day, i were destined to sit on their 'throne'..how would i react?? could i control myself? my nafs (passion) for the worlds? could i be the worst, worse than anyone can imagine of,, who knows?...na'uzubillah. i pray that i wont go astray with the 'gifts' given by ALlah SWT, and i would turn to become a much better person than i am now in the eyes of my Creator. i am grateful of what i have now, ALhamdulillah. anyways, i like to follow the updates in politics, but to be in the stream, i chose NOT TO.

i admire one politician, a religious speaker and a minister whose house is less grand than a normal teacher's house and drives a car worth only RM20,000 or less. he eats in a plastic plate sometimes (in public!).

to the corrupt politicians, enjoy while you can, and this world is your actual bars that imprison you and your greed.

since Our Creator owns you and this planet, is there any way out then?

The One Eye Theory

Assalamualaikum & hi to all,

my sunday arabic class today was great, i always felt enlighted every and each time i stepped in and out from the class. my teacher has indeed 'poured' water in to my dried brain, and masyaAllah, this kind of thirst relief of spiritual knowledge really made my day, barakallahifihu (may ALlah's blessings be upon him)

he explained in detail after one student posed a question about the dajjal, the mysteriously one eyed person/thing. my teacher says that the dajjal will only 'surfaces' once the environment is perfectly conducive for him to claim his 'throne'. he, the one eyed curly haired man, would ensure that no one is having a pair of eyes unlikely the kind of handicapped he is having. does he want us to be a one eyed person as well? do we have to poke our eye then? read through please :)

i love the symbolism highlighted by my teacher on the function of the pair of eyes. ALlah SWT has created us with perfectly beautiful eyes that see all the beauties and the ugliness, the good and bad, consciously and unconsciously at every second in our daily lives. there is always pairs in everything, whether you like it or not, that is the original function of our eyes, to distinguish what is right and what is wrong in the 'eyes' of the Creator of mankind.

my teacher stressed deeper that, this whole scenario actually brings us to the realization that, we live for the 'dunya' (now) and for hereafter (akhirah). being one eye blind is the best analogy of the perception that there wont be any other lives after death. not just that, the one eye man doesnt recognized the call to return to Allah SWT and being an arrogant ignorant, he (the dajjal) promises the worlds in exchange of everyone following his footsteps.

my teacher advises us to read the first 10 verses in Al Kahfi verse in order to be protected by Allah SWT from the dajjal sparks of evil deeds. he says that confronting dajjal is less challenging than living in his (dajjal) reign. we wouldnt know what we would become during that time. nobody can assures of anything. we might go against our prior islamic principals and being antagonistic by siding the dajjal worshipers. na'uzubillah (may Allah protect us all)

we are not the first aimed/targeted candidates, as the syaitan soldiers has recruited many before us, since Adam & Eve (Hawa) were tricked to disobey ALlah SWT first command of restriction. do you think those syaitan soldiers would stop whispering to our ears and hearts? Alhamdulillah, Allah SWT taught our forefather how to repent, and without His blessings and forgiveness, where would we be now?

i look around me, the mass media, the food, the clothing line, arrggghhhh!!!! arent we trapped in this kind of lives? i dont know about others but at times i felt like 'drowning' in this system. for me, living in a comfort zone without noticing being trapped in this dajjal way of life is really terrifying. its hard to ignore the seduction but its not impossible either, we fight to strive on the right path and we shall be safe, insyaAllah.

i asked my self, is there any R&R along the highway to the heaven/hellfire?
NOPE. its a straight way destination and i pray for the muslims to be firm and steadfast in holding what 'both eyes' is regimented to do.

i am reminding myself, most.

Getting Organized

Assalamualaikum and hi to all,

its going to be short today, i just want to share something about being organized.

my client, Mr Tajammal Hussein came to the office today to check the status of his company. He told me about the task and the money paid to my most problematic ex staff, S. he said that S asked for cash instead of cheq, and lied to him, that in order to get the job done within a day, our company requires cash payment. he paid some in cheq and some in cash. guess what? the cash is never banked into our company's account. S is enjoying haram money.

i dont want to talk about my ex staff which case is under the police investigation, but God knows how i hope he will be nabbed soon and thrown behind bars. time will tell.

lets talk about Mr Tajammal's advice. he said, that Allah SWT listens to our needs, if we need water, He gives a well. He never asks us to jump into it and get drown. He asks us to be careful and take the amount suiting to our requirement. beautiful isnt it?

being organized is one way of being careful. now we are in the midst of getting our billing and payment collection system organized via a software designed for tasks like this. thanks to Fakhruddin for assisting me in this.

ALhamdulillah, blessing in disguise. rezk is from Allah, and i dont want to be poor in the business management and poor in spiritual. i dont like these kind of poverty..

i wont give in nor giving up. i want to be a better person in the eyes of Allah SWT insyaAllah. i am not comparing myself with anyone though.

i dont live for others expectation, i have mine and glad to have one..

Alhamdulillah :)

How To Grow Avocado From Seed

Assalamualaikum & hi to all,

just finished my arabic homework and i am really in mood to post something about avocado. its about to grow avocado from its seed.

i read many avocado lovers grumbled about which technique is better than which in getting the root to come out from the seed. so, i intend to do the experiment myself. i named them as METHOD A and METHOD B.

so, you are going to need these items...

few avocados from the supermarket. they are Hass type, from South Africa.
 (i  bought this from our local supermarket , i didnt go to S.Africa haha...)

eat 2 avo, and keep their seeds.

a plastic and used news paper

a plastic cup/glass and toothpick

METHOD A

try to differentiate the head and the bottom of the seed. the one that is shown in the pic above is the bottom.
the root will come out from there

poke the 3 toothpick to the position shown above

place nicely so that the bottom of the seed will sip in the water

put near the window where it is exposed to sunlight. leave it there for 2-3 weeks.
  dont forget to change the water if it gets murky.
most importantly make sure there is no mosquitoes egg hatches! haha..

METHOD B

put the seed on the used news paper

wrap / crumble it with the seed inside

put in the plastic bag/container

fill in some water (tap water is fine)

throw the excess water. we just need the paper to be wet

fold loosely and leave it for 2-3 weeks

THE RESULT

FROM METHOD A
after 2 weeks plus, notice the crack, but no root

FROM METHOD B
same duration, it cracked and a healthy root jotting out from it

CONCLUSION

method B is better. you can place the seed on the soil now, placing the root in the soil. dont forget to water it :)

(sorry no pic of planting it the soil as i havent got the suitable pot for it)

good luck!

Limitless?

Assalamualaikum & hi to all,

i watched 'limitless' movie and i give 5 star for it. its about a man who depends on a pill to sustain his successes achieved throughout a very short period. nice movie, but as a muslim, there is some aspect which i disagree..not to make any critic as it gives no benefit to me raising any.

my point is, everything has a limit and its measurement. i forgot which verse in the Quran that touches this matter, but i dont believe depending on anything beside the Creator, would last long.

Why am i saying this?

just look around you. look at hosni mubarak, nobody would ever thought that he would stepdown in humiliation after all the limitless amount of money 'gained'.

look what happened to ariel sharon, after the thought of the limitless number of killings, he 'rest' in coma condition and God knows what kind of tortures he is experiencing at the moment in his sleeps... he might be screaming of the silent/invisible torment but alas, who would notice? Only the great Punisher Himself can arise him from his vegetable state. do you think he is even having a peaceful rest?

look at the hardcore gays, who think the world has no limit of enjoyment and sexual freedom...in the end, the cancer cells have been 'instructed' to be self-activated by the Creator, and there they come, AIDS with no mercy. its just a matter of time.

that is some of the real story proofs. we forgot that everything is lent by Allah SWT, thus who do we think we are to even determine the limit of anything?

the only thing that is promised by Allah is when we live to please Allah SWT and die for Him in so many various of ways, then (with His Rahmah-sympathy) the rewards would be Jannah (heaven) which has no limit of what so ever. pls correct me if i am wrong but that is what i heard by some religious speakers.

anyways, i like the ending of the movie where eventually, Eddie Morra stopped taking those pills and became himself, a hardworking politician who sees and knows what is best for him.

a good muslim doesnt need any pill. Allah has planted an extraordinary pill in every lives since the beginning of our creation. You want to know what is it?

the formula is in the Quran. Dig it.

We Dont Know About Tomorrow

Assalamualaikum & hi to all,

Alhamdulillah, last week's works were completed as scheduled, and everything runs smooth Alhamdulillah again..

My secretarial department is on its way to recovery. called few professionals to help me out with the system and internal control, for future precaution...it was dreadfully painful thinking of the intellectual property being hijacked and stolen by some idiots who think doing business is a picnic.

i remembered in mid of Ramadan last month, when i was
warded in the hospital ...all i could think of, was work.
this has taken most of the space in my mind and i think that was the main contributor for the ailment, but the doctor diagnosed the otherwise haha. i spent time worrying of the unpredictable result and look what happened to me. i think my spiritual was weakening..and i lied down helplessly.

looking outside the window, with cars heading their destination ...all to return home perhaps. in the end, after the hard strenuous rat racing work in the office, everybody would return to his or her home/family. i am too 'heading home' eventually. i smiled to myself thinking of the ups and downs in my life. i placed efforts on something, some 'half baked' and some, again all praise to the Almighty, ended with sweet result. i am not grumbling, am i?

i keep on thinking what my arabic teacher told me last sunday, that Allah measures our deeds by our efforts not the output of the input. soothing words, and actually it helped me in reducing the guilt feelings for few life tasks i havent manage to complete..

for the tough life tasks i am facing now, i think Allah wants to surprise me, and i am looking forward on what He prepares for me. i also think He wants me to keep on hoping for Him and that is what i am training to adapt in life....well, its not as easy as writing it in this blog. you might not believe me if i were to tell you what the tasks are..i am not grumbling anyways.

its nice to get the affirmation on what is to happen tomorrow but its nicer to hope for Allah's blessing and attention to grant what we are hoping for. my hopes? let me keep to myself, no offense pls :p

i think thats one of the beauty of life, that we dont know about tomorrow. keeping to wonder and ponder what to happen onto us, do spice our lives, are they not?
