Ten Things We Waste


1. Our Knowledge: Wasted by not taking action with it ..... more

2. Our Actions: Wasted by committing them without sincerity.

3. Our Wealth: Wasted by using on things that will not bring us ajr (reward from Allah). We waste our money, our status, our authority, on things which have no benefit in this life or in akhirah (hereafter).

4. Our Hearts: Wasted because they are empty from the love of Allah, and the feeling of longing to go to Him, and a feeling of peace and contentment. In it's place, our hearts are filled with something or someone
else.

5. Our Bodies: Wasted because we don't use them in ibadah (worship) and service of Allah.

6. Our Love: Our emotional love is misdirected, not towards Allah, but towards something/someone else.

7. Our Time: Wasted, not used properly, to compensate for that which has passed, by doing what is righteous to make up for past deeds.

8. Our Intellect: Wasted on things that are not beneficial, that are detrimental to society and the individual, not in contemplation or reflection.

9. Our Service: Wasted in service of someone who will not bring us closer to Allah, or benefit in dunyaa.

10. Our Dhikr (Remembrence of Allah): Wasted, because it does not effect us or our hearts.

From Br. Mukhtar, based on a lesson of Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah

A touching story

Daddi Can you give me 10$ ?

A touching story


A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5 year old son waiting for him at the door.

"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"

"Yeah, sure, what is it?" replied the man.

"Daddy, how much money do you make an hour?"

"That's none of your business! What makes you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.

"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.

"If you must know, I make $20.00 an hour."

"Oh, " the little boy replied, head bowed. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I borrow $10.00 please?"

The father was furious. "If the only reason you want to know how much money I make is just so you can borrow some to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you're being so selfish. I work long, hard hours everyday and don't have time for such childish games."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door. The man sat down and started to get even madder about the little boy's questioning. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money. After an hour or so , the man had calmed down, and started to think he may have been a little hard on his son. May be there was something he really needed to buy with that $10.00 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door. "Are you asleep son?" he asked.

"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.

"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man. "It's been a long day and I took my aggravation out on you. Here's that $10.00 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, beaming. "Oh, thank you daddy!" he yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow, he pulled out some more crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at the man.

"Why did you want more money if you already had some?" the father grumbled.

"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied. "Daddy, I have $20.00 now... Can I buy an hour of your time?"

The moral of the story: You think it.

exams around the corner!!!!!!

EXAMS around the corner!!!!

"waaa.....apa nk buat ni??dh habis revise lum nih??aper aku buat selama ni??waaaa..tu la ko padan muka..masa banyak masa dulu ko dok memain jerrr tak ingat satu aper dah..lg braper hari jer ni nk peksa??" this is wht keeps on going in my mind the whole time but i didnt get to do anything about it.if u think about it, that's why not many people excel in their studies(an example, could be a lot of other things).if people have realized from the start how precious is the time which they should have spent on studying, they could really easily excel.but a lot of people(dats what i think, coz probably i'm the only one who's having the problem, luckily for anybody else) are very keen to procastinate.there's this what so called virus in you that says "ah you can finish that later, hurm you can do that tomorrow, erm probably you can start by next week....." but up to where?in the end i end up doing whatever that is in the eleventh hour. well if that's how it is for people like me, i might as well be given a task that i have to finish within a few hours.coz it actually doesnt make any difference either way, dont u think.coz how long it takes for u to do it does not even indicate whether you're gonna do any better.that is sooo incredulous.i'm thinking, this actually doesnt only apply to your studies whatever but to your entire life.sometimes i think, am i born like this??no no no...of coz not dear fool.i can always change.but it's me ,myself, who's gonna do it.if i want to.dont i???seems n sounds simple enough but yeah u gotta start doing it anyway by mr hook or by mrs crook.coz once you let yourself being fooled by noone else but yourself, then you're doomed.you wouldnt have thought that you are the greatest enemy of your own self.the saatan which controls you, that's the evil side which everybody has, be as great as one is.they have it.believe me.the only difference that outstands them from one another is how they control themself and not being controlled by their evil self.not in eveything of coz, unluckily for them....and me.so let's make doa to Allah to be given a shield to the evil spell of saatan casted upon us.Praise to Allah the most gracious the most merciful.And ramadhan is coming too.too bold of me not to mention it earlier.this is one good chance for us to get rid of bad deeds from our past and be forgiven by Allah.it is a holy month of patience and tranquility as saatan will be tied down from ruining our lives.and one huge chance for us to perform good deeds and prayer to ALlah as the reward will be multiplied by Allah the Almighty.InshaAllah.

Teknik Belajar-Very Good for ME



Kemahiran Belajar
Belajar Cara Sistem PQRST
Sistem PQRST adalah suatu cara yang diperkenalkan oleh EL Thomas dan Ha Rabinson dalam buku mereka yang bertajuk "Improving Reading In Every Class". Berikut adalah lima item yang menjadi tunjang sistem ini.
(a) Preview ( mengimbas Tajuk-tajuk Penting ) Dalam item ini pelajar disarankan agar melihat tajuk utama dalam sesuatu bab dan seterusnya melihat tajuk-tajuk kecil yang menjadi rangka dalam menggambarkan maklumat atau isi penting dalam keseluruhan bab.
(b) Question ( Menyoal ) Daripada rangka ini, bina soalan yang boleh membantu anda mencari isi penting. Dengan cara ini anda boleh mengingati sesuatu dengan lebih jelas.
(c) Read ( Membaca ) Membaca sesuatu tajuk akan menjadi lebih bermakna kerana setiap ayat menjawab soalan anda sendiri dari rangka topik.
(d) Self-Recitation ( Menyebut Satu Persatu ) Apabila anda sudah membaca, anda perlu mencatat atau melakar sesuatu gambarajah berkaitan dengan apa yang difahami. Kemudian baca isi penting itu semula tanpa melihat nota yang telah anda catatkan.
(e) Test ( Ujian ) Untuk memastikan anda sudah memahami dan mengingati fakta sebaiknya, anda perlu membuat penilaian kendiri. Dua cara boleh dilaksanakan iaitu melaksanakan ujian-ujian tahun lepas tanpa melihat rujukan dan menggunakan teknik soal jawab dengan bantuan rakan.

Di Hati


Di hati bersama mengembara
Tika masanya tika saatnya ku terasa
Meredah lautan kasih sinar iman yang teguh
Redup menyinar hati sanubariku

Kutabahkan hatiku dibuang berkelana
Gerimis hati terpaku sukma
Semoga hidayahNya kan terus menyinar
Penuhi alam kegelapan

Berikan kekuatan dalam mencari sinar
Di jalan ini kuhadapi duka dan sedu sepi
Bersama teman-teman harungi perjuangan
Biarpun kekurangannya ada takkan ku gundah

Kita akan bersama menempuh segalanya
Bersatu hati mendamaikan jiwa yang keluh resah
JAnji patri bersama ikatan teguh setia
Bersama menuju gerbang impian kita harapkan

Di hati kita bersama.. Di hati kita melangkah..
Jangan dipisahkan kasih bersaudara.. J
angan didendamkan ukhuwah yang terbina..

Essential Elements of Fasting - The Intention

An article from Islamic Way

Allah instructs in the Qur'an: "And they are ordained nothing else than to serve Allah, keeping religion pure for Him." The Prophet, upon whom be peace, said: "Actions are judged according to the intention behind them, and for everyone is what he intended."

The intention must be made before fajr and during every night of Ramadan. This point is based on the hadith of Hafsah, which reported that the Prophet said: "Whoever does not determine to fast before fajr will have no fast" (that is, it won't be accepted). This is related by Ahmad, an-Nasa'i, at-Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud, and Ibn Majah. Ibn Khuzaimah and Ibn Hibban have classified it as sahih.

The intention is valid during any part of the night. It need not be spoken, as it is in reality an act of the heart, which does not involve the tongue. It will be fulfilled by one's intention to fast out of obedience to Allah and for seeking His pleasure.
If one eats one's pre-dawn meal (Suhoor) with the intention of fasting and to get closer to Allah by such abstinence, then one has performed the intention. If one determines that one will fast on the next day solely for the sake of Allah, then one has performed the intention even if a pre-dawn meal was not consumed.

According to many of the jurists, the intention for a voluntary fast may be made at any time before any food is consumed. This opinion is based on 'Aishah’ s hadith: "The Prophet came to us one day and said: 'Do you have any [food]?' We said, 'No.' He said: 'Therefore, I am fasting." This is related by Muslim and Abu Dawud.

The Hanafiyyah and Shaf'iyyah stipulate that the intention must be made before noon (for voluntary fasts). The apparent opinion of Ibn Mas'ud and Ahmad is that the intention may be made before or after noon.

arghhh what am i doing???

In the name of Allah...
MashaAllah what have i done...so much for a reminder to everyone not to procrastinate and now i'm still doing it..making blogs can become an obsession if not properly controlled..you wouldn't have realized how much time you've spent on it till you have a glimpse at the clock 5 hours later...how incredulous..how impossible..aper nak jadi dengan aku ni...kalau ikutkan nak update blog ke aper ke buat la masa free ker..now i'm using up the whole time which i should have spent on studying...this is sooo absurd..now i gotta focus...i've got to really focus now..ye la i'm just an accounting student not medical student whatever but still that won't come up as a very good excuse..will it?hurm i don't know what to do now...camner ni..malu la plak ngan my housemates.they all semua studious type jer..kalau aku ni takat ckp jer...bikin nyer belum pakk...bagemana sihh???wo hen mang wo hen xiang jia..wo yau hui jia...nah memane bahasa dah terkeluar...mcm ni lah kita bile dah emosional dan stress..mmg kena ingat Allah dan tawakkal tp cukup ker??i'm so ashamed of myself..how am i supposed to carry a big responsibility when i cant even carry a simple one???have we ever thought of that??i just wonder...

yankalilla

A picturesque view in yankalilla..i should have mentioned about it earlier but didnt get much time until recently to update my blog.yankalilla is so beautiful even the pic doesn't do justice to describe it..i love the tranquility of the yankalilla ocean, the greenery of the surrounding and breath-taking mountainous hill, the brightness of the sunshine and the cool breeze of fresh morning spring air.hurm now i'm starting to sound like a 'real' poet.ok the point that i'm trying to make is, anticipate what is is front of you, what Allah has given and always been giving you, feel it, breath it, and take it anyway u like, and the only thing Allah has asked of u is to be grateful to Him.does that make sense enough?i'd reckon it does more than that.by the way if anybody is wondering what is this yankalilla yankalilla thing, well it's just a place for camp on the hill by the beach where i just went last week..i just sort of fallen in love in it tho..well not with the job i got over there, as certainly hectic as it was..it's the place itself.that's what inspires me to address this blog yankalilla..a nice place to drop by for people in seek of tranquility...is that too exaggerating.not really talking about this page.but of coz i really hope there's at least an atom of benefit anyone can derive from this page..not just a wasteful chatter if anybody would care enough to read..not that it's exactly what i'm doing..make people read my stuff and think high of me..tho many would just have a glimpse and think much less of me..i might as well chase away anyone who would view my page...or not put up this blog in the first place..whatever it is, everybody has their own reason and way of expressing just as well i do..only the intention differs...that's what counts....

black is boring??

In the name of Allah the most gracious the most merciful..
Who says black is boring?well i knoe it seems so. and i'm in no place to change anybody's mind on that tho.just to pls myself on this matter.i think black is mysterious, black is 'macho', black is elegant, black is conventional, black is the symbol of superiority, black is flexible(it goes with any colour), black is realistic etc etc ..hurm.dats not pretty bad..soo dont ever condemn me on my new skin colour.my blog skin colour of coz..(not that i think anybody would think i wud change my
skin colour, dont i???)...

how people never appreciate their free time

i've always been there.dats it.no matter how much i'm fed up with it and myself for it i still do it.it's hard when sometimes you cant even do a single simple thing coz you keep delaying it...as if the time you are living will never end..a phrase is just a phrase "time is gold...time is precious"..bla bla bla...na..people will never see it until they lose it..i remember a hadis(if i'm not mistaken,coz i'm pretty forgetful sometimes so pls bear with me) that goes like this.remember 5 things before came upon you 5 things:

>your youth before your old age
>your wealth before your poverty
>your free time before your busy time
> your health before your illness
>your live before your death.

and one of them which is no less important than the others is your free time. how one thing leads to another. you give up your free time for nothing more than doing nothing, it tells enough of how much you don't appreciate your youth, your wealth, your health and your live which is scarcely significant in comparison with the hereafter.hurm are you familiar with the sayings "enjoy your life to the fullest, life is just once" bla bla bla...daaaa...how foolish.how stupid.how lumpy.not even the most preposterous words in the whole world can ever describe our foolishness in this matter...yes the kaafir would think so, as they dont believe in Allah and the hereafter..i remember a lecture from Ustaz Shamsuri about "hamba dunia" which literally means obsession of life(sorry, not a very good translator)..he once mentioned that to the kaafir, life is their paradise as they can do whatever they want, and to the muslims, it is otherwise..but Allah has provinced us His blessing and His grant no matter how difficult it is for us to live our live in this mean world..In His verse "Along with every hardship is relief" (Ash-Sharh:6). yes it sounds very easy and uncomplicated..but that's where the journey begins...to fight the battle within yourself..and i believe regardless of how others see it, thats the greatest victory one would ever achieve..coz then other things become more and more simple to you as only Allah remains the highest goal in your heart, in your soul, in your life, and in the herafter..InshaAllah...Ameen..
