"Your heart is like a bird trapped in a restrictive cage, fluttering its wings this way and that way, looking for a means of escape. The remembrance of Allah pacifies it, calms it down like a sedative, soothing it and gently whispering, 'Be patient, for this world is but a few passing days...'"
"Death is the easiest of all things after it, and the hardest of all things before it." Abu Bakr RA

The young man who learned what cannot be taught

Once upon a time, there lived in Basra an old man whose only occupation was caring for and loving his only son who was a handsome young man. The old man invested all his money on his son's education. The young man went away for a few years and acquired an education at a well known university under the great scholars of that age.

The day had arrived for the son to return from his studies and the old man waited at the door for his son. When the son came and met his father, the old man looked into his eyes and felt great disappointment. "What have you learnt my son?" he asked, "I have learnt everything there was to be learnt, father", he said. "But have you learnt what cannot be taught?" asked the father. "Go, my son and learn what cannot be taught", said the old man.

The young man went back to his master and asked him to teach him what cannot be taught.
"Go away to the mountains with these four hundred sheep and come back when they are one thousand", said the master.

The young man went to the mountains and became a shepherd. There for the first time he encountered a silence. He had no one to talk to. The sheep did not understand his language. In his desperation, he would talk to them but they would look back at him as if to say he was stupid. Slowly but surely he began to forget all his worldly knowledge, his ego, his pride and he became quiet like the sheep and great wisdom and humility came to him.

At the end of two years when the number of sheep had grown to one thousand, he returned to his master and fell on his feet. "Now you have learnt what cannot be taught," said the master.

NB. It is interesting to note that the Nabis of Allah Taala (Alayhimus salaam) at some time in their lives, generally before Nubuwwat, tended to sheep, and other such animals.

THE STORY OF THE MIRACLE OF THE GRAVEL PEBBLES

Once Abu Jahl had some gravel pebbles hidden in his hand. He asked RasulAllah(SAW) "If you are truly Allah's Messenger, tell me what I have in my hand? Youinform people of things from beyond the heavens, therefore it should be easy foryou to tell me what is in my hand".RasulAllah (SAW) replied: "Shall I inform you of what is in your hand, or should thethings in your hand themselves tell you who I am? "Abu Jahl retorted: "I would like both things". RasulAllah (SAW) said: "There are sixpebbles in your hand".Then at the command of RasulAllah (SAW) ~ everyone of the pebbles began torecite the Kalima Shahaadah. When Abu Jahl saw this miracle, he became soangry that he threw the pebbles hard on the ground and turned to go home.May his head remain covered in dust. The accursed one remained blind to thetruth and his eyes were like that of the accursed Iblees who saw Nabi Adam (A.S.)as a mere being created of dust. He could not see the soul which was crowned with'the crown of prophethood. Of that he was completely unaware.

Allah is always calling you..

Salam wr wb,

there's this song that i'm currently listening to and loving it,

imagine that the lyrics of this song is like Allah's the one talking to you, if a love of a creation towards a creation can be strong, then know that the love of Allah s.w.t towards us is infinity times stronger than anything.. basically here are some of the lyrics(in malay):

Sayang apa khabar dengan mu
Cobalah kamu telepon diriku
Ku rindu dengar suara indahmu
Kerna dirimulah semangat hidupku

now imagine that Allah is saying to you:
"My beloved serveant, how are you?
come and call Me (du'a/prayer)
because I miss listening to your beautiful voice.."
Sayang dengarlah permintaan ku
Jangan ragu kan cintaku
Sayang percayalah apa kataku
Kerna ku sayang kamu

"dear beloved servant of Mine, listen to My wish,
please don't doubt My love towards you
O My beloved servant, believe in My words
for I have always loved you.."

 Sayang dengarlah permintaanku
Jaga hatimu untukku
Sayang dengarlah bisikan hatiku
Kerna ku sayang kamu

"dear beloved servant of Mine, listen to My demands and wish
take care of your heart (for the devil will always try to steal you away from Me)
dear beloved servant, listen to My whisper
because I've always love you .."

ya Allah, please make us a true servant of Yours and forgive all of our entire sins for there is no Forgiver except for You.. please guide us always ya rabb and make us a servant that You love..

An Incident of Intense Love

Maulana Rumi R.A narrated that Sultan Mahmood once summoned his sixty five ministers and ordered them to crush the most valuable gemstone in his treasury. They all declined on the grounds that they could not bring themselves to destroy the most valuable and celebrated piece of gemstone in the treasury. He then ordered Ayaaz, his closest vizier, to destroy the same gemstone. Ayaaz obeyed and soon the unique gemstone lay crushed into a thousand fragments. The ministers on seeing this expressed shock and anger at Ayaaz for breaking the most priceless gemstone.The Sultan also responded:"O Ayaaz, you are indeed audacious and ungrateful! Answer these ministers now and tell them why you broke the gemstone."Ayaaz turned to the ministers and said:Which is more important,The Royal decree or the gemstone?Maulana Rumi R.A from this incident is advising us that if our heart breaks in obeying the command of Allah (SWT) then let it break. But the order and command of Allah (SWT) should not break. These desires of lust that lurk in our hearts can be likened to the gemstones that appear very beautiful and pleasing to look at.Nevertheless, we should boldly crush them and uphold the commands of Allah(SWT) Who has ordered us to control our gazes.

Al-Fatihah ila al-marhum Shaykh Sa'id Ramadhan Al-Bouthi

Message from al-Habib Umar bin Hafidh (Hafidhullah) on the Death of Shaykh Muhammad Said Ramadan al-Buti

Bismillah

It is with great sadness that we announce the murder of the great scholar Shaykh Muhammad Said Ramadan al-Buti.

We ask Allah to raise him to the highest ranks of Jannah and bring forth those that will fill the gap in the Ummah that his loss has caused.

May Allah swt releive the suffering of the people of Syria and unite their hearts on the truth.

Ameen.

From his [qs] words of wisdom:

“In this place, we pray to God to make our hearts containers of the love of the Prophet (Peace and Blessings be upon Him).” - 
Shaykh Dr. Muhammad Sa‘id Ramadan Al-Buti

 May Allah [swt] blessed his soul and gather him with his beloved. Al-Fatihah.

Ya Allah, each year you're taking back your beloved with You.. it hurts so much. Please don't leave us unguided ya rabb.

من أراد..

Those who wants a friend, then God is sufficient for him..

Those who wants to be sociable, then the Quran is sufficient for him..

Those who wants to be rich, then contentment is sufficient for him..

Those who are in need of advice, then (remembering of) Death is sufficient for him..

And those who are not satisfied(content) with this for, then may God guide him..

Confession of a broken slave: For the sake of Your love for me

My wings are broken

Yet You are there to mend it

I ran away from You for someone else

Yet You are always there watching over me and protecting me

I always tried to forget You

but You are always there calling my name,remembering me

I am so lost

Yet You know how far i am from You,You guided me

I kept rebelling against You

But Your reply was "I have always love you"

You kept calling me to run towards You

You kept sending me reminders that this is not the eternal life

Even though i don't listen to You and take You for granted,

Your kindness act is as though i am the only servant You have

Your love for me has flushed me away

Knowing that i can't even trust myself and my good deeds

For i know that Your love for me is true

And it's the only hope that i have now to meet You

You love me for who i am

Even for being an idiot in rebelling You

Even for not trusting You

Even though i'm just a dust among pearls

You kept watching over me and guiding me

Your love never fails me

So i am trusting you now ya rabb

I am a liar for saying "i love You"

I can't even trust my love for You

But for the sake of Your love and mercy for me,

Please don't deny me in front of You and Your beloved

Please let me see you at least once in the after life with all of Your beloved

After that, let it be.. do as You wish..

Throw me in the hell fire as long as it's Your will..

But please don't deny me from seeing Your Beauty

For the sake of Your true love for me

That's all what i need..

For You are the Most Loving and Merciful 

Wah soo long ..

Rajab: The Month of the Sultan,Allah.

Salam alaikum wr wb,



AlhamduliLlah, finally the month of Rajab have arrived,just want to remind ourselves that this is the month of Allah, so we should be mindful of what we are doing,we need to 100x more active in our amalan,istighfar and most of all take really good care of our adab.

as narrated in a hadith our beloved prophet [saw] said:

رجب شهر الله، وشعبان شهري، ورمضان شهر أمتي‏

So let us be aware of what we do in this month and whole heartedly respect this blessed month.

Also narrated by `Uthmān ibn Hakeem from Muhammad ibn Ubayd.

صوم أول يوم من رجب كفارة ثلاث سنين، والثاني كفارة سنتين، والثالث كفارة سنة، ثم كل يوم شهرا

التخريج (برموز السيوطي): أبو محمد الخلال في فضائل رجب عن ابن عباس

التخريج (مفصلا): أبو محمد الخلال في فضائل رجب عن ابن عباس

‏The fast of the first day of Rajab is repentance for three years and the [fasting] second day is repentance for two years and the [fast of] third day is repentance for a year and then each [remaining] day is [repentance for] a month.

رجب من شهور الحرم وأيامه مكتوبة على أبواب السماء السادسة، فإذا صام الرجل منه يوماً وجدد صومه بتقوى الله نطق الباب ونطق اليوم قالا: يا رب اغفر له! وإذا لم يتم صومه بتقوى الله لم يستغفرا، وقيل: خدعتك نفسك.

أبو محمد الحسن بن محمد الخلال في فضائل رجب - عن أبي سعيد.

Abi Sa`eed  related:

Rajab is one of the four forbidden months, [in which fighting is prohibited]. Its days are written on the Gates of the sixth heaven. When a man fasts one of its days and renews his fast with the fear and consciousness of Allah, Allah makes that gate to speak and makes that day to speak, saying, "O our Lord forgive him!"
And if he does not complete or perfect his fast with fear of Allah, they do not ask forgiveness for him and it is said, “your own self has betrayed you!”[5]

من صام أول يوم من رجب عدل ذلك بصيام سنة، ومن صام سبعة أيام أغلق عنه سبعة أبواب النار، ومن صام من رجب عشرة أيام نادى مناد من السماء أن سل تعطه.
أبو نعيم وابن عساكر عن ابن عمر.

 From Ibn `Umar  that the Prophet  said:

Whoever fasts the first day of Rajab it will be equivalent to the fast of one year; and whoever fasts seven days in it, the seven gates of Hell will be closed for him; and whoever fasts ten days from Rajab, a caller will call out from the sky, “Ask and you will be given!”

copied from: http://www.sunnah.org/ibadaat/Rajab/rajab_ahadith.htm

It is said that during this month the angels will no longger write our amalan but Allah [swt] Himself will write the amalan of His servant (that is reward it's servants personally for their amalan and not even the malaikat knows how much rewards they get) in this blessed month as it is His month. waLlahu a'lam.

اللهم بارك لنا في رجب و شعبان و بلغنا رمضان

Allah s.w.t is always there for you and answer you

I said: My sins are so many.

Allah said: "And who can forgive sins except Allah? " [3:135]

I said: Do not leave me.

Allah said: "So remember Me; I will remember you." [2:152]

I said: I'm facing a lot of difficulties in life.

Allah said: "And whoever fears Allah ? He will make for him a way out." [65:2]

I said: I have many dreams that I want to come true.

Allah said: "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." [40:60]

subhanaLlah.

Mati adalah nikmat bagi orang yang beriman

“Aku adalah seorang ulama. Allah kurniakan keimanan di dalam
Hatiku. Seorang yang beriman lebih mulia dari orang yang tidak
beriman. Sekiranya aku bangun menghormati kamu, ini bermakna
aku telah menghina agamaku sendiri,” kata Badiuzzaman Said Nursi.

“Dengan mengatakan aku orang yang tidak beriman, awak sebenarnya
telah menghina aku dan tenteraku. Bahkan awak juga telah menghina
bangsa dan negaraku. Kerana itu awak akan dihukum,” marah
Jeneral Nicolas Nicolavich.

Dialog tersebut berlaku apabila Jeneral Rusia yang terkenal itu melawat tempat
tahanan perang Qusturma. Badiuzzaman Said Nursi antara mereka yang menjadi
tawanan ditempat itu. Apabila Jeneral Nicolas Nicolavich melawat tempat
tersebut maka semua tahanan diminta berdiri dan tunduk tanda hormat. Semua
tahanan berdiri kecuali Badiuzzaman Said Nursi. Tindakannya itu menuimbulkan
kemarahan jeneral tersebut.

Beberapa orang rakannya cuba memujuk Badiuzzaman Said Nursi supaya pergi
memohon maaf kepada Jeneral Nicolas Nicolavich. Tetapi beliau menjawab
dengan katanya.

“Aku tidak boleh melakukan sesuatu yang bercanggah dengan
peganganku”.

“Tuan boleh dihukum mati kerana menghina jeneral itu,” pujuk
Kawan-Kawannya.

“Aku begitu berhasrat untuk pergi ke alam Akhirat dan berada di
sisi Rasulullah. Aku hanya memerlukan pasport untuk ke sana. Ini
adalah peluang aku untuk mendapatkannya,” tegas Badiuzzaman
Said Nursi yang tidak berganjak dari pendiriannya.

Badiuzzaman Said Nursi dijatuhkan hukuman tembak kerana dituduh menghina
Jeneral Nicolas Nicolavich. Sebelum hukuman dijalankan, beliau
meminta untuk berwuduk dan sembahyang sunat dua
rakaat.Permintaannya itu diperkenankan oleh Jeneral Nicolas Nicolavich
yang turut menyaksikan hukuman tersebut .

Badiuzzaman Said Nursi sembahyang dengan kusyuk. Selesai
sembahyang dengan tenang beliau pergi ke tempat hukuman tembak
dijalankan. Ketenangan yang ditunjukkan itu membuat jeneral Rusia itu
berasa kagum.

“Kamu tidak takut ditembak?” tanya Jeneral Nicolas Nicolavich.
“Saya tidak takut kerana dapat tiket ke syurga,” jawab Badiuzzaman Said
Nursi.

Jeneral Nicolas Nicolavich berasa kagum lalu berkata. “Aku sangka apa yang
kamu lakukan untuk menghina aku, sebab itulah kamu dikenakan
hukuman. Sekarang aku faham, kamu bertindak mengikut iman kamu,
kamu laksanakan apa yang diperintah oleh agama kamu. Dengan ini, aku
gugurkan hukuman ke atas kamu.Kamu sememangnya berhak mendapat
penghormatan dan pujian disebabkan kebaikan dan keimanan yang kamu
miliki.Aku mohon maaf kerana menyusahkan kamu,” kata Jeneral itu.

Adab suluk murid by Imam Ali al-haddad

AlhamduliLlah alfa marraat!:D
one of my favourite ustaz just returned back to Singapore from Yemen ,Ustaz Abu Zaki.
He'll be teaching at Tradisi Halaqah every wednesday night after maghrib using a book that was written by Imam Ali al-haddad.

aslmkm wr wb,

so for the first session/class, ustaz Abu Zaki told us to think about our lives, what is the point and purpose of our living, is it really worth it to work hard and spent hours of your energy on this dunya which is equal value of a mosquito's wing? what are we created for? he asked us to reflect on our future etc. eg. are we sure that we would live long enough in this temporary life? a person maybe 20 years old and another maybe 60 years old, outwardly it looks like the person who is 60 years old is the older one , but what if the person who is 20 years old will die the next year whereas the person who is 60 years will die 40 years time. So basically in the eyes of Allah the 20 years old is actually older than the 60 years old guy. So don't think that because you're a teenager you will live long enough and postpone your good deeds until you're old. that's what the syaitan wants you to think and do. So don't delay any good deeds that you feel like doing and stop wasting time.

secondly, he told us that all of us should put inside our heart an aim/goal or desire to get closer to Allah [swt]. Because without any desire to get closer to Allah [swt] ,a person can easily be swept away and tricked by his nafs and shaitan .eg; like if we're in the ocean and we have nothing to hold on to, basically we'll be easily followed and get dragged by the wave to wherever it takes us to. But if we were to hold on to a rope that is attacth to a building, so no matter how strong the wave pushes or pulls us, we will not be easily followed by it as we've hold on tightly on the rope that are tied to a strong building. just like our life, if we have no motives and goals in our lives, we'll be easily tricked and follow the needs of our nafs.

Now, after you set your desire to get closer to Allah [swt], now you just need to put in effort in it. What's the point if you just hold on to the rope but didn't pull yourself to get closer to the building? you need to pull yourself with every effort and energy you have, the more energy and effort you put in, the faster you will reached the building for safety. So you need to put effort to get closer to Allah [swt]. as the formulae of life goes : LIFE = passion + effort + tawakkal =SUCCESS.

until now, inshaAllah i'll share more next time.
wassalam.

Reflection

AlhamduliLlah , AlhamduliLlah walhamduliLlah 'ala kulli haal..

aslmkm wr wb,
alhamduliLlah, this week i get to go out 3 days with jemaah tabligh/da'wah from indonesia, all of them are santris(students) and mashaAllah, all of them are just awesome. as the saying goes,"if you can't be a good servant, then join them..".

The jemaah is very down to earth,tawaddhu' and have good akhlaq. One of the nasihah from the santris hit me "it was said that the best of zikr is La ilaaha illaLlah (there is no God but Allah) and the best of dua' is AlhamduliLlah..so whatever you do,just say alhamduliLlah for the blessings that you receive and you will get more, as what Allah has promised.. don't always be too energetic/eager and ask something for more without even praising Allah [swt] and thank Him for the blessings.." and yeah, sometimes without noticing it, lately i've been asking too much from Him without putting in any efforts and always complain about stuffs that makes me feel lost and confuse. He is the best of planner, so note to self , if you only pray because you feel the zouq or nikmat in the prayer and stop if you don't then you really are not a slave of Allah, you pray out of the nikmat you feel in it and not for the sake of Allah. But , if whatever happens to you, whether you're sad,confuse or happy etc. and you still keep praying and istiqamah in the things that you do, then that is true worship.
Ya Allah , let us pray because of YOU and not because of what we feel or any other reasons.
Ease the burden of your servants who needs help and open all of their hearts to get closer to You and love You more. ameen

Just have Faith

Dear self,
Please,whatever you do just have faith in Allah and never give up on Him. You might have sinned many times yet His forgiveness is wider and His mercy is bigger than your sin. So just repent and have faith in Him, He's the Most Forgiving. Even if you preach yet you yourself do not do it, just have faith,and do not stop talking about Him even if your Heart is not present in it. For it is even worse if your mouth has stop talking about Him and only talk about the dunya, for in His name there is barakah. Do not stop zikir even if you are not khushu', keep on continue zikir even if you are not sincere in it.You might have called Him a thousand times and feels like He doesn't even respond, for that kind of thinking is the thinking of the ignorant,so just be patient and wait for His reply. For surely He will definitely reply you.. not in the way you want it to be, but in a way that you need. Everything came from Him and everything or everyone that comes into your life there is a reason in it.His wisdom is Huge,He'll show you the way even by sending a non-believer to teach you a lesson, so don't look down on anyone.Dear Heart, just repent and forget about the past so you can move forward to the future with no burden on your shoulders. just have faith in His Love and Mercy. Repent,Praise and do your best for the future.

Kindness

This is ISLAM.

Narrated Jarir bin ‘Abdullah: Allah’s Messenger said, “Allah will not show mercy to him who does not show mercy to others.” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

Narrated ‘Aishah: Allah’s Messenger said, “Allah is Kind and He loves kindness, and confers upon kindness which He does not confer upon severity, and does not confer upon any thing besides it (kindness).” (Muslim)

Hadith - Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi

"Those who are kind and considerate to Allah's creatures, Allah bestows His kindness and affection on them. Show kindness to the creatures on the earth so that Allah may be kind to you."

aslmkm wr wb,

Kindness in the sunnah of our Beloved Prophet [saw],it is part of good character or Ahklaq.. Imagine if the entire muslim community just do a little act of kindness everyday in the streets or any other places in the countries like singapore etc,whether it is towards human or animal, seriously it wouldn't be impossible that one day (eg.)Singapore will be a muslim country if we as muslim could just shi'ar or show the sunnah of the Prophet [saw] towards the non-muslim. The most important this in life is Good-character than knowledge.

For Islam is a religion of Love rather than Peace, because when you have Love,you have everything.When you love someone you would be at peace with them and also you would sacrifice everything for them,just like the way of the sahabas but when you are at peace with someone, it doesn't mean that you love them and will sacrifice everything for them.So love everyone for the sake of Allah,not just towards your family nor friends nor the muslim brothers and sisters, but love the entire human for the sake of Allah.

yeah, my dream as a muslim in singapore is just that we can stop fighting each other and start loving one another .. and i hope that singapore will one day be an islamic country with the help and love from you all, that's my dream anw. and i hope that you guys can also make dua' that the ummah of s'pore will be stronger by the day by following his (saw) sunnah purely with love. If every one doa' this inshaAllah it will come true. as law of attraction says: you attract what you imagine or think. so let us imagine that Singapore is an islamic country. inshaAllah Qabuul.

The Patient Old Man

When passing through a mountain pass, a bedouin (villager) once came across an old man who was blind and who seemed to be afflicted with various ailments all over his body. It was clear that he was wasting away. He was even paralyzed and was constantly forced to remain in a seated position. The Bedouin could clearly hear him say, "All praise is for Allah, Who has kept me safe from ailments with which He has tested many among His creation; and He has indeed preferred me over many among those that He created."

"My brother!" exclaimed the bedouin. "What have you been saved from? By Allah, I think that you have been afflicted with every single kind of ailment!"

"Go away from me," said the old man, as he raised his head. "Do I not still have a tongue with which I can pronounce His Oneness, and with which I can remember Him every single moment? And do I not still have a heart with which I can know Him?"

These words of the old man were enough for the bedouin to repent to Allah for his sins and ask Him for forgiveness.

Remember, there is always someone else who is in more problem than you.

subhanaLlah.

Habib Ali Batu Pahat

Al-Fatihah li almarhum Habib Ali Bin Ja'afar Al-Aydrus

It has been a year and the half passed since the passing of Habib. If you guys notice, this year and last year there's a lot of 'aalims,habaibs have passed away,we are not just saying normal 'aalims or habaibs but the big-big one as in their knowledge are very vast and they are mashhur amongst the people with their incredible akhlaq and karamah.. more than 20 or maybe a lot more..like almarhum Habib Hussein Al-Junied,Shaykh Maqsood al-Hassani,Ustaz Sonhaji,Habib Abdul-Qadir Asseqqaf etc.

it is narrated by Abdullah bin Umar Al-Farooq (r.a) that Allah (s.w.t) will not lift up the knowledge (of Deen) by removing it from the hearts of people,but instead he will lift up (cause the death) of those possessing Deeni knowledge gradually until no 'aalims remains.At such a time people will turn towards the ignorant people in matter pertaining to Deen,seeking fatwa from them.They will issue fatwa without knowledge.They will be deviated and lead others astray.(Mishkaat)

To those who've met Habib Ali,they will know how kind and good his ahklaq is..even though he has passed away, please do visit his grave at Batu Pahat and his sons who lived also around there.He is also known as Wali Hidup that is the living saint. Those who've met him might have know about the karamah that he has and share a lot of stories about him.

The advice of his elder son,Habib Muhammad al-Aydrus:

"3 syarat Hidup( principal for Life) :

1. Jangan terburu-buru(don't let anxiety control you.)

2.Benda yang lepas jangan di kenangkan (forget about the past and concentrate on the present)

3.Pekara yang mustahil jangan dipakai (don't believe in something that is impossible)"

"Amalkanlah dengan ilmu apa yang kamu ada, sesungguhnya Allah sahajalah yang Murshid sebenar untuk kita,kerana Allah Sudah berfirman dan berjanji dengan kata-kataNya iaitu: 'Amalkanlah apa yang kau tahu dan Aku akan mengajarkan kepada kau apa yang kau tidak tahu' kalau Allah sudah nak mengajar kita,adakah itu bukan bermakna yang Dia adalah Murshid bagi kita, maka tidak payalah kita mencari manusia sebagai Murshid..itulah pendapat saya"

subhanallah..

and an advice from his 4th son,Habib Muhsin al-Aydrus:

"Manusia suka berpuak,tapi yang penting adalah taqwa kerana Allah tidak pandang kepada darajat,malah Dia pandang kepada ketaqwaan seseorang itu didalam hatinya."

"Yang penting kita harus menghormati orang dan tidak mintak dihormati,itu adalah tanda keikhlasan yang sebenarnya,kerana jikalau kita mintak dihormati dan orang tidak menghormati kita,maka kita akan lekas marah dan geram dan membuat hati tidak merasa tenang dan membuat orang rasa tidak tenang."

"Allah sudah memberi kita kuasa untuk mengampunkan orang maka ampunkanlah segala salah-silap orang atas kamu agar kamu dapat pengampunan Allah di hari kemudian(iaitu akhirat)"

"Cariklah kesilapan diri kita sendiri dan jangan carik kesilapan orang lain agar diri kita merasa tenang dan makin bertambah baik"

"Biar dapat teguran takpe,walaupun berapa pahit pun agar diri kita bertambah baik dan tidak jadi bongkak"

and many more.

Let us pray that Allah (s.w.t) will guide us all and shower us with His Hope,Love and Mercy because truly we are in need of it.

wassalam.

Advice from a Sahabah

"If in prayer, take care of your heart;

If eating, take care of your throat;

If in another man’s house, take care of your eyes;

If you are among people, take care of your tongue.

Remember two matters and forget two matters:

Remember Allah (SWT), and death;

Forget any good that you have done to another, and any evil that was done to you by another."

The Lion, Mice, Snake & Honeycomb

Imam Ghazali told story of a man walking in the jungle. A roaring lion ran towards him and the man ran as fast as he could to escape from it. He noticed a well in front of him and he jumped inside hoping to escape from the lion.

As he was falling inside the well, he grabbed onto the rope and saved himself. The man was so relieved but when he looked down he saw a big snake at the bottom of the well. It had its jaws wide open ready to swallow him up.

The man then looked up and saw two mice nibbling at the rope. A black mouse and a white were both chewing into the rope. The scary lion was still prowling outside the well.

The man's heart was pounding as he wondered how he could escape from this. Then he noticed a honeycomb in front of him which had delicious honey dripping from it. He stuck his finger into the honey and put it inside his mouth. It was delicious and for a moment he forgot about the lion, the snake and the two mice chewing at the rope.

Imam Ghazali explained that the lion is like the angel of death which is always looming above us. The snake was like his grave which all humans will face. The black mouse and white mouse were like the day and night which are always nibbling at our life (the rope). The honey was like this dunya which with its momentary sweetness makes us forget the death and the eternal life.
