PEREMPUAN SELALU LUPA

*Perempuan Selalu Lupa Tiga Perkara*..

1) Tangan adalah aurat.

2) Kaki juga adalah aurat.

3) Dada adalah aurat, jadi wajib melabuhkan tudung mereka menutup dada.

Perempuan selalu alpa dua perkara..

1) Pandang remeh dengan aurat. di pergelangan tangan.

2) Malas memakai stokin.
Tangan atau kaki..

Dan perempuan leka tentang dua perkara..

1) Aurat mereka adalah maruah mereka.

2) Kecantikan bukan pada muka, tapi pada amalan

Dan Perempuan seringkali lupa bahawa menutup aurat
adalah UNDANG-UNDANG ALLAH, bukan manusia.

"Perempuan"
Dia tengah tidur, tapi malaikat tulis dosa dia.
Dia tengah solat, tapi malaikat tulis juga dosa dia.
Dia makan, belajar, mandi, tapi malaikat tetap juga catit dosa dia. apa salah dia?

Ohh, rupa2 nya banyak mata sdg melihat gambarnya yang tidak menutup aurat di media sosial. Walaupun hanya lengan bajunya terangkat sedikit hingga melebihi pergelangan
tangannya. Setiap kali ada lelaki yg melihat, setiap kali
itulah dosanya bertambah..

PURPOSE OF LIFE

Its a wonderful text ✨💖

This testimony has blown me apart. May I live  for Him alone not for the things of this world.
Read it soberly please...

People ask me, What is the purpose of life?

And I respond:
In a nutshell, life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever, and Allah wants us to be with Him in Heaven.

One day my heart is going to stop, and that will be the *end of my body*... but not the *end of me.*

I may live *60 to 100 years on earth*, but I am going to spend *much much more than trillions of years in eternity.*
This is the warm-up act ...the dress rehearsal. Allah wants us to practice on earth what we will do forever in eternity..

We were made by *Allah and for Allah*, and until you figure that out, life isn't going to *make sense.*

Life is a series of problems:
*Either you are in one now,* OR *you're just coming out of one,* OR *you're getting ready to go into another one.*

The reason for this is that *Allah is more interested* in *your character* than *your comfort;* Allah is more interested in making *your life holy* than He is in making *your life happy.*

We can be *reasonably happy* here on earth, but that's not *the goal of life.* The goal is to grow in *character, in the prophet (saw) likeness.*

No matter how *good* things are in your life, there is always something *bad* that *needs to be worked on.*

And no matter how *bad* things are in your life, there is always something *good* you can *thank Allah* for.

You can focus on *your purposes*, or you can focus on *your problems:*

If you focus on your problems, you're going into *self-centeredness*, which is my problem, my issues, my pain. *But one of the easiest ways to get rid of pain is to get your focus off yourself and onto Allah and others.*

We need to ask ourselves: Am I going to live for possessions? Popularity?

Am I going to be driven by pressures? Guilt? Bitterness? Materialism?  am I going to be driven by Allah's purposes (for my life)?

When I get up in the morning, I sit on the side of my bed and say, Allah, if I don't get anything else done today, *I want to know You more and love You better.*

Allah didn't put me on earth just to fulfill *a to-do list.* He's more interested in *what I am* than *what I do.*

That's why we're called *human beings*, not *human doings.*

--Happy moments, *PRAISE Allah.*
--Difficult moments, *SEEK Allah.*
--Quiet moments, *WORSHIP Allah.*
--Painful moments, *TRUST Allah.*
--Every moment, *THANK Allah.*

*--If you do not pass this  on, nothing will happen.*

But it will just be nice to pass it on to your friends and loved ones.....TQ.

‎جزاك الله خيراً

DOA KETIKA ANGIN KENCANG

Doa Ketika Angin Ribut/Bertiup Kencang

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيْ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا فِيْهَا وَخَيْرَ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ، وَأَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ مَا فِيْهَا وَشَرِّ مَا أُرْسِلَتْ بِهِ

“Ya Allah, sesungguhnya aku mohon kepadaMu kebaikan angin (ribut ini), kebaikan apa yang di dalamnya dan kebaikan tujuan angin ini dihembuskan. Aku berlindung kepadaMu dari kejahatan angin ini, kejahatan apa yang di dalamnya dan kejahatan tujuan angin ini dihembuskan.”

(HR. Muslim no. 899)

WATCH IT

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character. 
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

My Ship of Life

I was once the captain of the ship before the mutiny. Sailing on the Sea of Dunya.

Then, the mutiny happened.

Now, I am ignored by the rebellious First Mate and crew and  confined to the brig left to fend for myself.

I am considering whether to abandon ship or win back my command. Questions that need answers...

Struggling in the storms of tribulations....

Help me, help me, help me....

O Allah help me, I cannot face the journey wihout You...

LUPA ALPA

lupa. alpa.

berapa banyak tamadun yang runtuh
berapa banyak empire yang jatuh
kaum yang pupus lupus.

firaun wa namruz
satu ditimbus laut
satu telinga nya di masuki nyamuk.

aad..madyan wa thamud
aad dibinasa angin kering
madyan...binasa
hanya dengan satu tempikan
thamud ranap ditimbus bumi terlingkup.

i.
kita ini mengapa
menjadi lupa dan alpa
sejarah yang belum pun begitu lama..
jatuhnya sebuah empire
akibat durja dan sengketa
yang datang bertimpa
di bumi sekangkang kera.

sudah lupa
sang rajuna tapa membuka pintu kota
si kitul mengadu dumba
meracun..racun yang bisa
hingga terbunuh paduka seri bendahara
dek angkara murka sang maharaja..

sudahkah juga  lupa
peringgi datang dengan meriam dan bedil
tidak tersangga olih keris dan lembing..
belanda datang inggeris datang
siam dan jepun turut datang menawan.
hingga kita menjadi bumi yang  terjajah  di sepanjang sejarah .

bagaimana kita akan lupa
istiwa kominis masuk hutan
sejarah hitam perjuangan..
darah tumpah memancut bersemburan
jasad terbujur gugur bergelimpangan
mempertahankan bumi..bangsa dan agama
menebus maruah dan kemenangah.

ii.
sungguh kita sudah lupa
di abui olih alpa
sekarang mengunggun api sengketa
membakar bumi tanah pusaka.

kita membakar segala pertimbangan
lupa alpa kita kata2 tua
jong pecah
yu juga yang kenyang
rumah terbakar
tikus lari bertempiaran
menang jadi abu
kalah jadi arang.

firaun wa namruz
aad..madyan wa thamud...
lagikan hilang di dunia..
takkan melayu hilang di dunia ?

iii.
faraun wa namruz
aad..madyan wa thamud
semuanya binasa
bersama empire perkasa
di tangan YANG MAHA ESA
MAHA PERKASA..

POWER OF CHOICE - BE AN EAGLE OR BE A DUCK

I  was waiting in line for a ride at the airport in Dubai. When a cab pulled up, the first thing I noticed was that the taxi was polished to a bright shine. Smartly dressed in a white shirt, black tie, and freshly pressed black slacks, the cab driver jumped out and rounded the car to open the back passenger door for me.

He handed me a laminated card and said: 'I'm Abdullahi, your driver. While I'm loading your bags in the trunk I'd like you to read my mission statement.'

Taken aback, I read the card. It said: Abdullahi’s Mission Statement:
To get my customers to their destination in the quickest, safest and cheapest way possible in a friendly environment.

This blew me away. Especially when I noticed that the inside of the cab matched the outside. Spotlessly clean!

As he slid behind the wheel, Abdullahi said, 'Would you like a cup of coffee? I have a thermos of regular and one of decaf.'

I said jokingly, 'No, I'd prefer a soft drink.'

Abdullahi smiled and said, 'No problem. I have a cooler up front with regular and Diet Coke, Lassi (savoury drink), water and orange juice.'

Almost stuttering, I said, 'I'll take a Lassi.'

Handing me my drink, Abdullahi said, 'If you'd like something to read, I have The Star and Sun Times today.'

As we were pulling away, Abdullahi handed me another laminated card, 'These are the stations I get and the music they play, if you'd like to listen to the radio.'

And as if that weren't enough, Abdullahi told me that he had the air conditioning on and asked if the temperature was comfortable for me.

Then he advised me of the best route to my destination for that time of day.    He also let me know that he'd be happy to chat and tell me about some of the sights or, if I preferred, to leave me with my own thoughts.

'Tell me, Abdullahi ,' I was amazed and asked him, 'have you always served customers like this?'

Abdullahi smiled into the rear view mirror. "No, not always. In fact, it's only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the cabbies do. Then I heard about POWER OF CHOICE one day.

The Power of choice is that you can be a duck or an eagle.

'If you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you'll rarely disappoint yourself. Stop complaining!'

'Don't be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles soar above the crowd.'

'That hit me. really hard' said Abdullahi.

'It is about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle.   

I looked around at the other cabs and their drivers.The cabs were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy.   

So I decided to make some changes, slowly ... a few at a time.When my customers responded well, I did more.'

'I take it that it has paid off for you,' I said.

'It sure has,' Abdullahi replied.  'My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I'll probably quadruple it.My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on it.'

Abdullahi made a different choice. He decided to stop quacking like a duck and start soaring like an eagle.

Start becoming an eagle today ... one small step every week..next week... And next...And....

Thought for today…...

You don't die if you fall in water, you die only if you don't swim.That’s the Real Meaning of Life. Improve yourself and your skills in a different way.

Be an EAGLE.
